AGRICULTURAL MEETING.
A meeting of owners and occupiers of land in.' East Kent
was held at the Fountain Inn, Cauterbury, On Saturday last,
ut which a petition In the legislature, pra) log for relief in
the present distressed state of agriculture, was agreed to :
Sir Edward Knatclibull, Burt. one of the members for the
county. attended the meeting, arid promised his support of
the petition in the House of Colinous. We believe that
the root of the evil Is excessive taxation, and this opinion is
confirmed by a high authority, which kIC now quote, in the
follow ing extract of a letter front Lord Nugent to Mr.
Baker, of Ad►tock, Bucks, in answer to a formal applica-
tion from the Buckingham Agricultural Association to sup-
port Bier petition :
" 1 agree with you, says his Lordship, to the full extent in
the description you give, at the outset of your letter, of the
distressing difficulties under which the agriculturists of this
kingd WU are now labouring; hut I differ from you when you
state that those difficulties arise out of the melancholy de-
predated state of their productions.' Tire petitioners ap-
pear to me to contemplate the causes of their distress at the
w g cud. Farmers arc sutferiug, nut because their pro.
ductrons are too cheap, but because the means of producing
them are too deur. The more cheaply the food of man can
be supplied surely the better, if it is raised at a rate which
will utford a fair profit to Win who raises it. This leads at
once to w hat I consider the real causes of agricultural distress,
which must he abated before any substantial relief can be
hoped for—l mean over-taxatiou, and the ruiuous pressure
of our system of poor laws."

LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 26.
Three o'clock, p.m.
Paris papers of Thursday last have been received
by express. The Monitekr contains an extract from
the first bulletin of the Austrian army. On the
7th inst. the Neapolitans gave the Austrians battle,
and boldly advanced against them in three columns
—two columns manceuvred on the heights near
Rieti, and threatened to turn the Austrian advanced

guard, under the orders of General Geppert, and
it is acknowledged that the movements of the pa-
triotic troops were well conducted and the point of
attack well chosen, and yet these are the troops
which we have been vauntingly told would never
venture to lace an Austrian army. it is evident,

from the partial statement of the bulletin, that the
Austrians suffered a much greater loss than they
think it prudent to acknowledge. It is also evident
that their light troops were surprised, and were
exposed to a sharp and galling fire. A battle com-
menced at noon, and it became so serious that Gen.
Walmoden found it necessary to order his reserve,
which was posted in the rear, to march to the sup
port of Gement! Geppert. The Austrians acknJw-
ledge to have lost only firty men, but it is much
more likely that they have lost ten times the num-
ber. It was the approach of night, we believe, that
occasioned the Neapolitans to retire, and when the
real facts are published, we are persuaded it will
appear that the Austrians have suffered severely,
and that the commencement of the campaign has
been most auspicious to the patriots. They have
voluntarily given battle to the flower of the Austrian
army, and the Austrian account of the transaction
sbews that many important facts has been concealed,
which will be supplied when the Neapolitan ac-
count comes to be published. There have been
some animated discussions in the French Chamber
of Deputies, on the subject of the French govern-
ment, publishing the bulletins of the enemy. Such
is tke epithet applied by the liberates to the Aus-
trians, which accords with the feelings of the l'eo-
pie of France, if it does not with the Members of
the Administration. M. Chauvelin pointedly ob-
served, that the conduct of ministers justified the
distinction which the Austrian declaration made
between England and France, in stating that the
latter adhered to the system of the allies, though
with certain restrictions which had not been made
public. General Foy vehemently attacked the tor-
tuous policy of the ministry. The events in Italy,
he predicted, " would kindle a general war in Eu-
rope.
The barbarians of the North were once more
pouring their hordes upon the South; and the con-
stitutional nations of the south, Spain, Naples,
France and England, must unite to resist the in-
vasion."

CORN EXCHANGE, MONDAY. MARCH 26.
We have had several fresh arrivals of Wheat since this day
week from our own coast, but there was not a very brisk demand
this morning, except for fine Wheat, which obtained last week's
prices; a reduction of from is. to Ys. per qr. took place in the
inferior descriptions. In Barley these was but little business
doing, and tiro supply being small, our last prices were sup•
ported. We were hugely supplied with Oats. the demand for
which was not brisk, consequently that article was la. per qr.
lower. Beans fully supported our last prices. Peas, &c. were
dull in sale, but not cheaper.

place for that purpose), and asked him to go with him
in the night to fetch it away. Witness consented and
and went with hint to the White Hart, at Riverhead,
where the supped and remained till about eleven, and
then, accompanied by two other men, and a horse and
cart, proceeded to the quarry. Witness did not go into
thelquarry, but Greets did. flee whole party was almost
immediately disturbed, and ran away.
Goditry Burling, the landlord of the White Hart at
Riverhead, confirmed that part of Wharton's evidence
which referred to his supping with Green, in his house
on the Saturday evening, and leaving it about eleven.
Tile prisoner, upon being called on for his defence,
addressed the Court at great length, wim a propriety of
a .dress, and correctness, nay, even elegance of language,
much above his appearance. He detailed a great rimy
circumstances m derogatiou of Wharton's character,
and asserted that lie had been prevailed on by hint to help
to remove from the quarry, some property which was
descrined to him as smuggled goods, but was wholly ig-
norant of the robbery.
The Learned Judge summed up the case very mi-
nutely, arid the Jury instantly found the prisoner gull y

Extract of a letter from the Island of St. Thomas,
dated the 2 I st ult.
We have the following intelligence from Maracaibo, which
bas caused a great depression here in business, and has suspended
thewounierous orders executing for the supply of the Main.—
The place, it seems, was under the command of a Royalist officer
sad a garrison of 3000 men. Provisions being wanted in the
town, the soldiers were dispatched by the commandant to pro-
cure them front the neighbouring country. In their absence a
b ely of armed non were admitted into the town by the Royalist
officers. They unntediately seized upon the fort, and !reclaimed
the town free. Of the soldiers who formerly garrisoned the
WWI a great proportion declared for the independents. We
cannot a.crrtsin whtther this hits taken place with the concur.
renee of Bolivar or not; but from my know ledge of his character,
1 am judicial to conclude that it has not: if su. the place will
be restored, and all quictly settle I ; but otherwise, as it is an in-

THE IHMIFING-ROOM.

The King held a drawing-room y erday, at
his palace of Buckingham-house, and urrence
so common to the inhabitants of metropolis
would, perhaps, have excited little attention, but
for a report whisk had been current that the Queen
intended to honour it with her presence,- for the
purpose of presenting a petition to her royal consort,
praying. the restoration of her name to the Liturgy.
This. report acted as a stimulus to the public curio-
sity„ and, notwithstanding the very unfavourable
state of the weather, drew immense crowds to the
Park.

We know not what orders were given at the Palace'
with respect to the reception of her Majesty in the
event oilier coming, but it is evident that the Mar-
shal's men stationed at the gate at the top of Conbti-
tution-hill were enjoined to offier no obstruction to
her Majesty's equipage in its passage to the Palace.
The company visiting the drawing-room began to
arrive directly after the gates were opened, and the
carriages continued to set down without intermission
until past three, after which there were very few
arrivals.
His Majesty, assisted by the Nincess Augusta,
received the compan: in the Grand State Apart-
ment, surrounded by his ministers df state and officers
of the household, and s great number of present....
tions took place.
The drawing-room concluded about five o'clock.

MARCH e1.....8ut,yer v. Featiscrsione.-.This was an
Dentin for words imputmg that the plaintiff had feloni.

It appeared in evidence that die plaintiff, a binclict,
carrying on businesi at Frinsbury, near Rochester, had
purchased and paid for six sheep. 011 taking them
home one of them became ill on the road, and he left II
at a public-house whilst he drove the remainder to hi.
premises. On his returning to the public.house, fiuding
the sheep was past recovery, lie cut its throat, and look
is home in a cart at four o'clock in the mooning.•-.
'rite defendant, who was a bailiff ►o a gentleman fanner,
happened to witness this part of the transaction, and
suspecting that the sheep was stolen, followed the
plaintiff to Vrinsbory, knocked tip some of his neigh.
hours, and called upon them to dYSIt. in apprehemliiii;
the plaintiff, charging him at the saute time with having
stolen a sheep. Tile matter was afterwards satisfactorily
explained; but the defendant hawing again repeated the
slander, and having taken no notice of two applicatio
made to hint to make apology, the present action was
brought to vindicate the plaintiff's character, which had
been materially injured in Ilie neighbourhood in roust::

THE KING C. G. MILLER, ESQ.
_ .

This was an indictment against the defendant, for
feloniously killing and sla‘itea Mr. Joseph Hoare, at
Chatham, on the 31st or October last. "f ne defendant
had never been in custody, bud submitted himself volun-
tarily to take his trial, upon the coroner's inquisition.
Mr. Berens stated the case for the prosecution ; and
Mr. Gurney and Mr. Killand conducted the defence.
It appeared in evidence, that 0.1 the day mentioned in
the malciment, the del'endant anti the deceased, who
had never met before, had spent the evening with seve-
ral other persons, at the hotel at Caatham, in the even-
%ng of winch, in consequence of some difference of opi-
non upon some ordinary topics of conveisa!ion, the
defendant called the deceased (a man upwards 01 70) an
old scoundrel. Ulm') the suggestion of some of the
party the defendant made an apoiogy fur this insult,
shook hands with the deceased, and they appeared to be
good friends. Some little time atter, the deceased, in
a loud and taunting tone, bragged that lie had never
quarrelled with any min without making him apologize
—This occasioned a renewal of altercation with the
defendant, upon which the hitter flung his hat at the
deceased, but missed him, lie then s,fiz..ll a rumme
of brandy and water, which he also threw at him, and
again missed hint. He then unfortunately laid hold of
a pewter pint pot, which he hurled at his head, and the
blow took effect upon the left temple of the deceased,
dud inflicted a severe wound, winch bled profusely. A
sitigeint was sent for, who dressed the wound and at-
tended the deceased to h s Ito e. This surgeon attend--
ed him until the .2.d of Novemher, up to which nine he
appeared to be doing extremely well; but on that day
symptoms of erysipelas and syniplonti of fever appeared,
which rendered further advtee necessary, and a physician
was called in, under whose care he lin4ered mini the
yth when he tainted.
The only witnesses examined were a Mr. Mine, who
deposed to the tram:action at the hotel ; Mr. Fry, the
sur,Leon, and Dr. Vaughan, the physician. Both the
lane: gentlemen were of opinion, that the blow WaS nut
we proximate cansi, of death.
Tor learned Judge putt it to the Jury, wh: thee, upon
melt evidence, they were of opinion unit the death was
OcC3Nltilicil by the defendant.
The July inainediately found the defend int not guilty.
The defendant's depuntuent was most befitting the
melancholy occasion, and he appeared deeply affected.
bush parties were men of property, and musing in re-
specials:: circles.

that a disposition was shown to concede the free
constitution, but that a peremptory denial has been
opposed to the desire testified of avenging the cause
of Naples, by direct hostilities against the Austrians.
It is concluded, however, that the reply of the Sar-
dinian Government Ina not proved satisfactory, for
the despatch distinctly states that the Picalmontese
army, to the number of 40,000 :ma, hare, marched.
Prince Carignano was sent after then to endeavour
to bring them bark to their duty, but wit:t little

MONDAY, APRIL 2, 1821

in the morning of Wednesday, while a detachment
of the Savoy regiment of cavalry, of the Piedmont
regiment of cavalry, of the Piedmont regiment of
infantry, and several companies of the Royal Le-
gion, kept their' station befbrE. it. The King re-
solved not to sign the Cow titution and abdicated the
throne. At 5 o'clock on Wednesday morning (13th
inst.) the King, Victor Immanuel, with the Queen,
their two unmarried daughters, and a retinue of
about 20 carriages, proceeded from the palate on
the road tti Nice, escorted by the regiment of Savoy
cavalry. A few hours afterwards a proclamation was
issued signed by the Prince of Carignan°, announc-
ing that Victor Immanuel had abdicated the crown.
There was not a single individual wounded, a single
horse pillaged, or even a single pane of glass broken
in the capital during this revolution On Tuesday
evening, at 8 o'clock it was announced from the
balcony of the palace that the constitution of Spain
was adopted ; his Serene Ilighness confirming the
intelligence by appearing in person and receiving
the cotdial salutations of the immense crowds as-
sembled in the square. A general illumination
follewed. On the 14th the Ministry was changed,
and a Provisional Ministry appointed. On the same
day the National Guard was called out for the pro-
tection of the city. All the official papers have
been transmitted to the provinces with great
promptitude, and received %%hit eager interest.
—ln the mean time the government, aware of the
quarter from which the national dependence is most
threatened, is sending its forces to the Miianese
frontier. Almost all the troops who were in gar-
rison here have marched for Nova and other frontier
towns. They anticipate no possibility of terms with
Austria, and are preparing to join the Neapulitans ,
against her.
