LONDON,
THURSDAY. Dscsaasra 9, isl 9.

A very full Iteport will' be found in this Paper
of the proceedings at the public meeting held yes-
terday in Covent-garden. The meeting was ex-
tremely numerous, and if the truly English cha-
racter of the speeches delivered at it he excepted, it
offered no one circumstance to which Lord CAS.

TLEREsER, or the humblest of his minions on the
'treasury benches, could object. It was loyal too,
in the confined sense of that term, for • band of
Radicals from the Smithfield meeting having ven-
tured to place a flag, bearing the inscription," Let
us die like men, and not be sold like slaves," in
front of the hustings, the flag was ouickly assailed
and t iu piece,. iVe feel no ordinary interest
in noticing the proceedings of this public meeting.
for should the Bill now pending in Parliament
affecting to prevent seditious meetings pass into •
law, the people will have no further opportunity of
interchanging their sentiments, or avowing their
opinions ul public measures. The value of •
possession is most felt at the moment when it is
about to be lost for ever, and upon this principle
our interest in what we must consider the last free
meeting of the people of Westminster is excited in
the liveliest manner. We recommend the animat-
ed and constitutional speech of Sir FlANcts.
BURDETT to the particular attention of our
readers. It is a fair and just comment upon
the measures now proposed by the Ministers
for curtailing the liberties of the people of Eng•
land, nod ought, if any love of freedom still
warms the breasts of Englishmen, rouse them
to a struggle ;pion the alarming efforts of a
despotic Ministry. if the present measures be
adopted by Parliament, they may be considered as
the prelude of others still more fatal to our liber-
ties. When the people shall be prohibited from
expressing their opinions in public meetings...
when the terror of e.r officio informations, aided
by the apprehensi tttt s of a felon's punishment, shall
have silenced the yet independent portion of the
public preris.—when the people, contrary to the ex-
press provisions of the Bill of Rights. shall be de.
prived of arms, the time will then be fit for pro-
posing the repeal of the Act of Habeas Corpses.
and the abrogation of the Trial by Jury. Nothing
can save the country but a change of Ministers.—
The Whigs, true to their principles, and firm in
the defence of the Constitutioo. which was their
own peculiar work, have indeed struggled hard to
maintain the public rights. and no doubt will per-
severe; but unit.. the great body of the people,
who have been taught by their worst enemies to
revile their natural leaders, rally round them in
this hour of danger, and throw aside those wild
oroions which have too long made them the dunce
of evil men, the Constit.ition will be lost, and no
hope remain that England will ever rise to the emi-
nence of power mot honour which once made her
the boast or envy of the world.

lion. It was confessed by Lord Stptiotren. that the
propriety •f instituting the censorship of the press
in England was • question in the Cabinet ; but would
it have been rejected by the present Ministers had
they entertained no apprehensions of encountering
the virtuous indignation of the Opposition ? The
uniform terror of their sptena, and the feelings of
horror and alarm with which they view a free press,
are 1111 assurance that the question alluded to by
Lord SIDMOUTII would nut, under other circum-
stances, have been so quickly decided in the
negative.

A meeting of the Radicals was held in Smith-
field yesterday, over which Mr. HUNT presided.
It was peaceable and decorous. A greater number
or persons appeared at it than at either of the two
meetings at which the Doctor presided ; but not
knowing the law upon this point, we cannot pretend
to deterdine whether they were sufficiently numerous
to rei.derikpeesteting " an overt act of high tree.
son," or whether it was merely • misdemeanor.
Since we heard the legal doctrine propounded in
Parliament by the advocates of the measures now
pending. that numbers alone made an assembly
treasonable. we ventured to peep into a few
of " the book." upon the subject of tresses.
but could God no dieing's to justify a poi..
lion apparently so monstrous. To satisfy all
doubts upon the subject, we should suggest the
expediency of passing • declaratory Act, stating
how many thousands of the people may meet with-
out passing that mystic number, beyond which all
is outrage and rebellion.

The Seditious Meetings Prevention Bill went
through the Committee last night in the House of
Commons. Lord Aurstoatr's clause, for limiting
its operation to the disturbed districts, and those
adjoi ll i l ig, &c. was rejected on a division, the num-
bers being. Ayes 51—Noes 191. The Report was
then ordered to be brought up this day.
The military Drilling and Training Bill was
precipitated through two stages, in consequence of
the increased alarm escited by recent information
communicated to the House on that subject.

Lord SID/10liTli may be a mild man and a ma
derate man ; we presume he is, es the world says so:
but the most audacious Minister that ever existed
never dared until the present day to assert dun the
question of the censorship of the press. oho,
the destruction of the liberty of the press. was
made a subject of deliberation in the Cabinet

Paris Papers of Sunday last have arrived. The
Chamber of Deputies was occupied during the sit-
ting of Saturday, as on the preceding day, with re-
ceiving the reports of the bureaux to which the rm.
initiation of the powers of the newly-elected Depu-
ties was referred. Admission was refused to Gen.
TA RATE, who had been elected by the Department
of the Charente Inferieure. on the ground of tufty.
niality in the election. The qualifications of
GREGOIRE have nut as yet been submitted to
the Chamber, but the President of the bureau to
which the elections fur the Department of the here
were referred, promised to bring iu the report un
Monday. It is an unfavourable omen for the
Abbe that the President of she bureau should
inform the Chamber that the thire usher Deputies
from the Isere had proved their cpulificsitions,
and that t!..e only difficulty felt by the ',mean
occurred iss the case of the fourth Deputy,
GREGOIRE. A very general interest is excited in
Paris respecting the result of the inquiry. but there
is no doubt that whatever may be the decision of
the bureau, which indeed Is not likely to be fa.
vourable to hint, his admission will he opposed by
a large party in the Chamber. who are at all risks
