ties. This, however, is no reason for oat holding a meet-
ing in London ; it is a reason for also holding meetings
throughout the country. The leading people of Yorkshire
must be now assembled at their election. As soon as the
immediate business which calls them together is despatched,
let them take means to display the sense of their country.
Edinburgh, Liverpool, Glasgow, Mnsichester, Birmingham,
and the other great cities of the kingdom, will need no in-
vitation to follow the example to be given in London.
" The opportunity is favourable for all parties in Eng-
land to join in their abhorrence of all attacks upon liber-
ties established by law, and to wipe away the suspicion
which a very few, anti very unworthy, members of the
nation may have brought upon it, by the favour with
which they have regarded the late execrable attempts which
have been so speedily defeated."
We may observe, that the enthusiasm of our
great towns seem equal to that of the metropolis.—
We yesterday received a letter from an influential
individual in Birmingham, who observes—
" The most intense anxiety prevails to see the Papers,
Morning and Evening, It is in every body's mouth,
What public demonstration can we make in favour of
the heroic people of Paris, and to advance the general
cause of public opinion here?' Some propose a public and
immediate subscription for the sufferers in Paris, to be
made simultaneously in every town, and to be placed at
the disposal of the Provisional Government. Others
public meetings, to address the King, as Parliament is nut
sitting. Could the London Papers devise a good mode of
public expression, anti immediately recommend it? A
national echo of unanimous feeling would reverberate
throughout the kingdom. The intelligent people here
really say, that they cannot bring their minds to the usual
conduct of their private business. All are busied in con-
gratulation, and the interchange of generous feelings of
sympathy. In my life no event has instantan-ously crested
such sentiments and universal joy. The cause of liberty
has been admired half a century. All Europe will now
shake off the manacles of the Holy Alliance—Spain, Por-
tugal, Italy, Germany, roust participate in the glorious
consequences. . . The public feeling will

burst out intosome expression. Give to it a good direction."
A meeting will soon take place in the metropelia,
and it is not improbable that meetings may already
have been held in some of the great towns. Our
readers will see, from the communications we pub-
lish on the subject, that the public are eager for
some opportunity to give expression to their feel-
ings, A gentleman of consideration in the city
waited on us yesterday, with the information that
some of the principal merchants and bankers, sharing
in the general anxiety to testify their admiration of
the heroic conduct of the Parisians, but desirous et
the same time of expressing that admiration in the
manner most acceptable to the French themselves,
had deputed one of their number to communicate
with a Member of the Provisional Government on
the subject, whose answer would be received on
Monday next. He showed us a list of a number of
the first names of the city who were ready to sub-
scribe, on the receipt of the communication from
Park. In the mean time we would observe, that
measures cannot be too soon resorted to for pro-
curing to the people of this country an opportunity,
at public meetings, of discharing the sacred duty
which the victory of Feria imposes on them. It is
for the French to consider how they may receive our
acknowledgments; it is for us to consider what is
due to ourselves, what is due to the great cause
which has triumphed, what we owe in the
way of example to Europe and to the world. The
French have nobly done their part; ang it would
be to insult a noble and high-minded nation like
them to suppose that they will not receive kindly
the expression of the admiration and sympathy of
the British people. Subscriptions will, no doubt.
he received elsewhere; and we know that the prin-
cipal establishments of the city Noe consented to
charge themselves with them. Till a meeting is
held (which will, no doubt, be soon), subscriptions
will be taken at the office of the Morning Chronicle,
and at the banking-house of Messrs. Cocks, Bid-
dulph, and Co., to whom we shall pay over daily any
sums that may reach us.-2lforning Chronicle.
And so the lute King of France is about to visit
this countrr--if, indeed, he has not already landed on
British ground—as James I.C. took refuge in France,
a century and a half ago, when he had, by his con-
duct, forfeited all claims to the British throne. We
are sorry for it. The country is not inhospitable ;
but it cannot possibly give a warm reception to a
man, who has not only forfeited all claim to its
esteem, but who is detested, not only by every lover
of constitutional freedom, but also by every one who
holds perfidy and perjury in abhorrence. What
can he expect from William the Fourth ? Per-
sonal
safety ; and what else can he expect from his
Ministers ? Nothing more. The suspicions of the
Duke of 'Wellington and his coadjutors having in-
terfered in advising the late illegal measures, are
already sufficiently strong—unjustly we believe—to
render it imperative on their part, not to endanger
the peace of the country, by giving any countenance
to a man who has forfeited every right in the country
over which he reigned, but that of personal protec-
tiou. This right, notwithstanding his infamous
conduct, the people of France have allowed, with
a generosity which does them the highest credit;
but it would be too much to expect that they would
view with satisfaction the concession to him of any
other civility than that of mere hospitality. To this
muds he is entitled as a stranger and an exile; but
to nothing more; and we confidently hope and trust
that while the conduct of the Government will be
such as not to heap misery on disgrace and mishap..
tune, it will, at the same time, exhibit a determi-
nation not to interfere in the internal affairs of
France. The last revolution ought, at least, to
teach us that it is sometimes dangerous for wise
men, as well as for fools, to interfere in matters
with which they have no concern.—Afryn. Advert.

The cry is universal not only for a subscription
in behalf of those who have suffered in consequence
of the late civil butchery in Paris, but also for a
public meeting to declare the sense entertained of
the attempted tyranny of the late King of France,
and of the unexampled .spirit anti enterprise of the
people' of Perim. The idea is worthy of all com-
mendation. We shall most cordially give our mite
to the former, and endeavour to promote the latter
by every means in our power. The people of
France have set an example to the people of every
country in Europe. Their cause is that of mankind;
and while, on the one band, there ought to be
few, if any, who would not endeavour to allay
the sufferings of those who have been wounded—
who have lost relatives, or who have been made
widows and orphans,—by the late struggle, we
think it is almost a matter of national duty and
interest to hold a public meeting, for the purpose of
bearing testimony to the gallantry and moderation
of the Prose)) people, and reeardiug the sense uni-
versally entertained of the noble motives by which
they were actuated. Such a meeting would tend
to dissipate the suspicions entertained in Pranee
respecting the conduct of this country, and, in all
hrobehility, to establish a better underetanding than
as yet existed between the tertycountries..—Aforn-

The first scene of the great drama acting in
Frittitte has closed; Charles X. has contended for
his throne; from that throne ho has been driven,
and the enetrdes of himself, of his family, and of
Monarchy, hove triumphed. Success is all in this
life, and we are therefore little surprised to hear the
terms " perjurer," " wretch," " tyrant," “ vaga-
bond," heaped upon the head of a follen Monarch.
Ile is tounted with these and similar opprobrious
expressions—he is accused of having violated his
oath and broken faith with his people; we are,
nevertheless, firmly and conscientiously of opinion,
that in the late lamentable events the Ex-Sovereign
of France was the aggrieved party, and that in the
contest upon which he ventured he had right upon
Ida side. The origin of the rommotions which have
so suidenly shaken Charles X. from his throne arc
not to be looked for in the Ordinances of the 26th
of July, nor in the nomination of the late Ministry,
It Ilea far deeper; it is to be found in the tern-
Per of the French people, and in the ill-omened
eaueession of a representative system and free itibti-
whoa* to a nation not ripe for their enjoyment. No
