MIDDLESEX MEETING.

On Friday a meeting of the free-holders of the Connty
of Middlesex took place at the Mermaid Tavern, Hark-
wey, pursuant to requisition„ to take into consideraiimi
the propriety of a Petition to the
_King to dismiss
ministers, and an Address to the Queen, conbratulatini4
her on the defeat of the Bill.
r. Siterill WAITHMAN hating taken the chair, read
the requisition, and allerwaids remarked, that dnatigii
he had no ri4ht to take part in the proceedings, he
doubted not that he should have reason to approve of
what they resoled. In eonclasimt, he hoped that they
would give every gentleman who might present ithnsell
a fair hearing.
Mr. P. MOORS observed, that he was one of those
who had heed bistro:an:mat in calling the meeling to
Address the King to change that system which had
been so tuitions to the people. He was glad to see their
worthy mazistrate im the chair, Er he was one who had
done much to enlighten the public mind; he had been
greatly instrumental in making the sentiments of the
City of London almost wholly in favour of the people.
(Cheers.) He (Mr. Moore) had recently had ooportu-
nity of speaking to them lamely respectiog Green Bags.
Those filthy bags had been blown into air; not a vestitte
remained; but, he repeated, all had been done by the
voice of the people.—(Applanse.) He concluded with
ninvilig a resolution for an Address to the him; to dis-
miss his ministers, who had sought to bring into con-
tempt the dignity of the mown.
Tlte resolution was put and agreed to, Mr. Williams.
the Parish-clerk, holding up his hamd against it.
Mr. P. Moomx then read the Ad loess proposed for
the adoption of the riceting. it was very long, and
was drawn up with te:w great force and ability.
Mr. HALES seconded the addicts.

Alrbbs next appeared to propose another address
by way of amendment, the foundation of which ev:s to
urge the necessity of Parliamentary Ref-urin. When
the address was concluded, there were souse cries of—
" WO longl"
Alajar CARTwRiGur seconded the amendment, be-
cause it adser rd to that which would alone save the
country. A change of men would do nothing—for
Ministera were but the tools of the boroughtnottgcrs.-s-
-(Applause.)
Sir G. NOEL spoke stmngly in support of the in:ended
Address.
Mr.l37ng 'sail!, he could not ads isc his constituents
to adopt Air. Aliii's Address, for it denied that the
House of Coatisons eons:doted the "kcal" representa-
tives of the people. (Altai: dissctision.) The Km.: could
do no wrong. (Alitch laughter.) 'rite Al inisieis were
responsible. (Cheers) and he could not agree to any
Address that contained what was personally offensive to
the Alonarc h.
Mr. fluxia said the country bad come to that crisis
when tile tritett ought to be spoken. (Cheers.) W nat
was the state of the throne and or die couniry 1 Was
not a c'onitge watued? It was; but a C11:111ge of system
would only serve the country. lie went all the length
of the first Address; but, eticomstanced as the country
was, he did not think it weot hail far enough. A eisam,e
of system would put an end to that time sensing set of
exp;clients whose rule now afflict the coon try. A Change
of measures—not of wen only—would satisfy the country.
(Cheers.)
Mr. BIN& observed, from what Mr. Home had said,
he was muse convinced than ever of thc impropriety of
the second Address. (Cries of No, no.) Ile was not
stating their opinion, he was only expressing his own;
but is to the second Addles+, he bad no hi in
ussertiag, nisi- it contained what was very hole s!iort of
treason. (A Isti.th, and vies of Na.) lie ai-0 titot•;.i,ht
the introduction of :he Itefor in • tu s.ines was i.knuliciotis;
why not let that question stand alan..,instead.of beingtitg
it in on all occasions. (Disapprrouition.)
Alr. WHIVIREAD was ur: oplllloll that Mr. Nloore's
Addr.ss did not go far enough (Cheers) ; and on Ito..
oilier hand he disapproved of many expressions io the
second Address. It would be better to eel'er Mr Mill's
Address to a COinitt4fee to curtail it. 114: was not or opi-
nion with the Bishop of Loudon, that oil a moni

RE, i 70N- -7.4. 6:111A06:

Extract of a letter dated Cape Henry, Oct IS:—
" since my la,t, of the eith of September, a revo-
lotion has taken place here. It was formed two
months ago by seven cf the chiefs, but so secret was
it kept, that I do not believe a single person knew
of it until it broke ant, high was an the night of
the 6th inst. On that evening they assembled all
the trtxps in the town, and marched them out to
Hnut du Cap, distant from this about five miles, to
tight ibr their libertv ; they having been, since the
reign of the King, in a state to which no shivery
tould be compared. Immediately on the King's
hearing it, which was by an express, he scot from
Sans Souci (where he lay very sick), to give certain
orders to the Governor, which express was sent back
to acquaint the King that they no longer acknow-
ledged him as their ruler. He sent for his favourite
chief, nith orders to collect all the force possible,
and to march against the rebels; and, on their arri-
val here, to murder every mulatto and white,
without exceptioa; but, previous to their leaving
Sans Simi, lie ordered them into his presence. and
flattered them very much, gave them four dollars
each, and promised them, if they succeeded in their
expedition, that they might pillage the Cape, and
Tat their situations should be made as comfortable
as they could wish. In the mean time the Inde-
pendents, preparing themselves for action, and, well
knowing their cause was good, flattered themselves
that their fidlow countrymen never would fight
against them, being equally interested in regaining
their liberty, having suffered alike under the yoke
of that tyrant, whose equal is atrocity never was
known, and who thought no more of murdering
potpie in cool blood than lie did of eating his break.
fast. On the arrival of the King's troops at Haut
du Cap, on the nth. where the Independent army
were stationed, several skirmishes took place; but
the Independents, not wishing that any blood should
be spilled, hoisted the white flag; and, immediately
the King's troops itaw that, they laid down their
arms and came over. Their chief (Duke Fort
Royal), seeing the troops abandon him, fled, but has
since been taken prisoner. The King, finding the
troops under the command of the Duke Fort Royal,
which consisted of all the force he had at Sans
Souci excepting his body guard, had gone over to
the Independents, and seeing there was no chance of
escaping, as it would have taken considerable time
to have collected another force, shot himself through
the heart at about i i o'clock at night. Thus ended
the life of a man whose bloody deeds never were
surpassed by any tyrant that ever existed. Since
his death the different armies have joined the cause
without firing a shot. The troops stationed on the
frontiers (St. Murk's) have of late been much dis•
affected on account of his degrading a colonel, and
punishing him very severely, who was much liked
by the soldiers; also on account of the shameful way
in which they were treated, having nothing to live
upon but cassada and water, and the utmost pay-
ment they received was one escalin per week. The
chief's of the Independents are now waiting for Gen.
Romaine's (Duke Limbe) arrival from St. Mark's,
who, I believe, is to take the command, being the
eldest General; but what kind of government they
mean to have lamat a loss to say—l suppose a
republican; for, at the commencement of this revo-
lution, the general cry was, that they would have
no more Princes, Dukes, Counts, Barons, &c. I
will say that I never knew or heard of a revolution
so well managed: there have not been more than
five persons killed, one or two were from accident.
I think this change in the country will much im-
prove the trade. When the soldiers pillaged the
palace at Sans Souci they found 240,000 dollars, or
thereabouts, a goad prize. It will carry off a large
quantity of manufactured goods, as they were accus-
tomed before to walk about nearly naked. They
promise in their proclamations to encourage the
trade as much as possible, and I am persuaded in the
course of a little time that the trade to this place
will improve very much . the demand for manufac-
tured goods and American produce is sure to be five
or six times as much again, as the soldiers will be
regularly paid. The next coffee crop will be consi-
derably more, as every person will be allowed to
work on the different plantations. So far has this
nfEzir Leen conducted with such firmness and tran-
quillity, that it has excited the admiration of every
stranger. I consider there is no further danger, and
every thing is very tranquil. Not one drop of blood
has been shed in this revolution, from either private
or public revenge; and it would really appear that
they bad hut one enemy, and he was so great an one
to their happiness, that his destruction has swept
away all animosity."

nah. had arrived ut Carthagena with flour. Three
Guineamen had urriven ut 5t..1.1,0 de Cuba from

FRENCH P.IPER.S%

PARIS, DEc. 4 —Viscount Chateaubriad, who
has been appointed Minister Plenipotentiary to the
Court of Prussia, had a private audience of the
Kin.%
Ife learn that the military revolution which was
effected at Lisbon on the 11th, by a part of the offi.
cers of the army of Oporto, was happily counter-
acted on the 18th, without effusion of blood, by a
counter revolution, owing to the good spirit of the
army itself; and to the wise firmness of all classes of
the citizens. The officers of the army have pro-
tested against the events of the 11th, and declared
the intervention of the military in the acts of the
government was illegal, and of pernicious example.
In consequence, the new Junta has retired, and that
which was removed on the 1 Ith has been restored.
The Prince Royal is expected, and it appears that
the revolution of the I Ith had for its object to pre-
vent the effects of his approaching arrival in Europe.
The three great powers assembled at Troppau
have signified to the King of Naples that they wish
him to uppint, with as little delay as possible, a
place where they can confer with him. The object
of this interview is to advise upon the best means
of appeasing the state of disquietude which now
reigns in his kingdom. It is further said that the
three northern Sovereigns have informed his Neapo-
litan Majesty, that, in the event of the impossibility
of his complying with the proposed overture, his
refusal will be considered as a proof that he is not
free in his states.

TROPPAU, Nov. 20 —The Emperor of Russia,
who has recently received several couriers from St.
Petershurgh, is preparing to depart for his capital.
It is affirmed that his Imperial Majesty has received
advice that a Treaty of Trade and Navigation on
the Black Sea has been concluded between England
and the Porte.

VIENNA, Nov, 18.—The last news received from
Troppau relative to Naples announce that the Al-
lied Sovereigns Have unanimouly declared that they
desire the re-establishment of the ancient order of
things at Naples; and that they would regard as
enemies of the general tranquillity all those who
should contribute to the prolongation of the existing
disorders.

MADRID, Not. 22.—Their Majesties entered
the capital this afternoon at four o'clock, on their
their return from their visit to the Escurial. They
entered by the gate of St. V inceut ; the garrison and
the national militia were drawn up to receive them.
The concourse of people was immense, the evening
being extremely fine; and the air resounded with
cries of " the Constitution for ever ?" The new
Minister of War, Don Cuyetiino Valdes, has likewise
arrived here.

All the Prefects have explained to the inhabitants
cf their several districts the events which disturbed
for a moment the public tranquillity at Madrid, and
guarantee them in future against a recurrence of
similar agitations. Divers proclamations to that
effect appeared in the public journals. Despatches
from Ciudad Rodrigo confirm the intelligence of
the arrest of the rebel Morales in the Commune of
Alfargates in Portugal.
On the 11th, sailed from Culls a division of the
fleet for South America. The squadron cansists of

vette, and the sloops Hercules and Hyena, under the
orders of Capt. Ange; Lebade, take under protection
four transports, having on board warlike stores, pro-
visions, clothing, accoutremenrs, &c. which will
prove a seasonable supply to the loyalists.
VITTORIA, Nov. 18.—The political chief has
published a proclamation, in which he says a hand-
ful of factious men had formed the criminal project
of rebelling against our beloved King, and against
the country in which they had the happiness to be
born. At the head of it were Guerque, ex-com-
mandant of the reserve of Cantabried ; and Gumarra,
keeper of the salt magazine. The patriotism and
the good conduct of the militia of this city, &c.
have disconcerted the chimerical plans of these infa-
mous rnen. The traitor Guerquc, abandoned by
the guards whom he had succeeded in seducing by
deceitful promises, is flying in terror, accompanied
by the fanatic priest of Foronda and his servant;
but they are pursued in all directions, and will soon
fall under the sword of justice.
The King and the Queen, as well as the other
members of the royal family, continue to enjoy good
health.

A COPSURO, Nov. 26.—Advices from Naples an-
rin;ilrr teat v.Pr was inevitable. The preparations
tor hostilities are pressed with incredible activity.

Several regiments have already marched for the
frontiers;. others are about tp follow ; the Royal
Guard is the only corps which will remain in the
capital. General Filangieri is nominated Com.
=miler in Chief of the army stationed in the
Abruges. The enthusiasm of the people is very
great. The parliament is by no means popular.--
Several pamphlets have been published against the
ministers, particularly against the war-minister.--
The British and French squadron will remain at
anchor in the bay of Naples.
RoME, Nov. IG.—The neighbourhood of the
Austrian army on the Po, and the arrival of art
English squadron at Naples, occupy every mind
among our higher classes; but the populace care
very litile about them. They occupy themselves iu
their ordinary pursuits, and are satisfied as provi.
sions are at a moderate price. The accounts from
Naples are very contradictory- Some expect a
counter revolution at the approach of the Austrian
army; others make pompous descriptions of the seal
and enthusiasm which all classes manifest for their
new Constitution.

Liseow, Nov. 19.—1 n the actual communication
of the nation it is very necessary for the public to
be on their guard against the suggestions of foolish
partisans, which may lead us to a precipice. What
happened on the 14th is a proof of it, though hap..
pily no misfortune resulted from it ; and it rather
served to show more clearly the good character of
the nation. The Government has convoked the
Cortes; it has allowed that the election of the depu.
ties shall be made in the manner practised in Spain,
and which the constitution prescribes: the rest be.
longing to the Cortes. The whole nation has sworn
to obey to the constitution which the Cortes
shall make, and not any foreign constitution.—
The basis of the Spanish Constitution may be ad-
mired for being liberal; but there are others no
less liberal, and this point is to be the object of ma-
ture discussion by our Deputies in the Cortes.—
Those writers who endeavour to seduce the incau-
tious and ignorant into another course deserve no
other name than that of incendiaries„ and enemies
to the dignity of the Portuguese nation.
