THE NATIONAL REGISTER.

Mr. Harvey made a long speech, in which he-recommended
enure modificatien in the mode of collecting tithes, which, as
they were at present rated, were rather the one-sixth than the
one-tenth of a man's property. He censured the inexpediency
of the pre-ent meeting, and was apprehensive that the enemies
of Reforin might think they had obtained a triumph when all
the effort,, of the friends of Reform could only, after twelve
months exertion, muster a force of two hundred freeholders.
Mr. Benjamin Flower censured in the strongest terms the
mischievous tendency of the irrelevant and incoherent rhapsody
they had just bea. d. The Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Harvey) had
been talking nothing for the last hour, but he had continued in
the conr,e of that hour's talk to do as much mischief to the
cause of Reform as lay within the compass of his very slender
talents.
Mr. Burgoyne, in adverting to sonic personal allusions made
by Mr. Harvey, begeed le,ive to tell that lion. Gentleman that
wit was dangerous when unaccompanied eitlit.r by ergument or
principle.
:Mr. Harvey said In exp!anati-ei that the Hon. Gentleman
(Mr. Burgoyne) (eight to begin by reforming himself, and that
if his (11r. H. s) srecch had no other effect, it had at least
that of opening the veliiic eye to the speech of the Gentleman
below him (Mr. Flower) the blooming display of so beautifn/ a
Mr. Burgoyne proposed a Petition to Parliament, which was
an echo Of the Resolutions, and which was ordered to he pre-
sented to the House of t..onemons by Mr. Honeywond and
Admiral I larvey. The usual thanks weie voted to Mr. Du
Cans for his con.luct in the Chair, and the meeting broke up at
tour o'clock.

ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, AUGUST 1Q•

Extract of a Letter from Captain Brisbane of his Majesty's ship
the Belle Poole, ad tressed to Captain Rowley of the Eagle, the
Senior Officer in the Adriatic, and transmitted by Admiral Sir
Charles Cotton to John Wilson Croker, Esq.
His Majesty's ship Belle Poule at Sea,
Adriatic, May 6, 1811.
I have the honour to inform you, that on the 4th instant, being
off the coast of Istria, with his Majesty's ship Alceste in corn-
pany, at ten A.M. we discovered and chased a large French brig
of war of eighteen guns, which shortly afterwards fell into the
small harbour of Parenza.
Having received intelligence that such a vessel might be ex-
pected conveying supplies of all descriptions for the French fri-
gates at Ragusa, which had escaped from the recent gallant ac-
tion off Lissa, I felt chat no means should be lett untried to Cap-
ture or destroy her. After reconnoitring her position, and con-
sulting the pilots, a'id a most irttelligent officer I had on board,
Mr. Thomas Boardman., acting. Lieutenant uf the Acorn, whc
from Iris general local knowledge of the Atli-jade, bad handsome-.
ly volunteered his services for the iruize, I foUnd it was imprac-
ticable for the frigates to enter the harhpur, there being only
fifteen leer water in it, but that the brig might nevertheless be
cannonaded with effect where she was then lying; accordingly at
three P. M. both ships.stood in, within a cable% length of the
rocks at the entzance of the harbour, 'and opetied an animated
fire on her, and' 'a battery under which she lay, anti in an
hour obliged hyr to haul ashore under the town out of reach
of our shot. The ships were frequently hulled by the battery;
but sustained no other damage but what could be immediately
repaired. All further eflorts from the frigates being perfectly
useless, I determined on taking possession of an island in the
mouth of the harbour, and within musket-shot of the town.—
The ships were anchored, after the close of the day, about four
miles from the shore, and about eleven o'clock the same night
; two hundred seamen, and all the marines, went under the oz-
