LEEDS, JULY 13.

We are concerned to state, from undoubted infor-
mation, that there haVe been several noaurnal meet-
ings of the Disarfeded, held in various places of the
West Riding of this County, within the .last fort-
night, and particularly. on Wednesday night last,
to consider upon certain measures for doing mis-
chief!—As admirers of our invaluaLie Constitution,
we sincerely hope, that the well-known vigilance
and aftivity of the Magistracy, will be alert orl so
alarming on occasion, and by well-timed and vigor-
ous exertions, preirent any repetition of such dan-
gerous proceedings.
ON Saturday -sennight as Mr. Collinson, of Bar-
ton, grocer, was walking alongside of a loaded wag-
gon, not far from that place, he unfortunately
stumbled against a scone, and being unable to reco-
ver himself, fell under the wheels of the waggon,
which going over him, killed him upon the spot.
Mr. CoottE, of Pollington, •in this County, re_
turning some evenings ago from Selby; has
not since been heard of. It is supposed he has been
murdered, as the man at Carleton-bridge let him
through the turnpike-gate about nine in'the even-
ing, and the horse got safely home without its
master.

WILLIAM PITT, son to the deceased Lor.,Z
CHATHAM, who died in 1772; in consequence
an apoplectic fit, with which he was seized when hp
was speaking with vehemence against the Atmaric
War, in a full liouse, had scarcely been'a Ms-..riber
of the I-louse of Compuv two yc;;rs; when his sc.:
perior talents made him be entrusted, 752,
the important office of CHANCELLOR of the
CHEQUER. He held it near a year, when it -5,-;'.ts
taken from him by the Opposition, which hea led
by the Duke Of ?OE.TLAND, had, by means (•.- the
Coalition, obliged the iCtrro, to restore.. to its Parry
the reins of Go; ernment. But this itiumph was
not long, and eight months after )Ir. PtTT restirryA
the place- which he had'been obligvd to give up, and
was at the same time made first Lord of the Trea..
sury.

Europe then beheld with astonishment a ybuilg
man, of 2¢ years of age, placed at the head of the
Administration of so great a Power at a period of
the greatest difficulty, and strugg;e with intrepidity
against a Parliamentary Opposition remarkably
strong, both in talents and votes. Finding himset
unable to resist it, in a few months after he adopted
the hazardous and bold measure of dissolving the
Parliament, and the majority-which he obtained, in
the new one justified the step he had taken, an I
proved the confidence which the Nation had in him,
as well as the irresistible influence of the Crown,
The Coinmutation Ad which he brought forward
that same year, arid which "laid upon Windows 'that
part of the duties on Tea which he took off froin
the latter article,' in order to ',lit an -end to the
smuggling of ir, was the &St step towards
the loss of some part of his
_popularity.• The
Tax upon Shops, which he aid on in 1786,
diminished ,it :still more amt I heard, the follow
ing year in one of these public DiscuSsions called
,Free Debates, .which -were held 'in different
verns; a Speaker exclaim, after Shakespear, that
this Tax must bring even the Poor to Sedition, and
raise the stones themselves to mutiny. " The People
were very much discontented with it, and the Op-
position, who endeavoured as much to please them
as to thwart the operations of Government, were
continually proposing its abolition. He still, hom;_
ever, maintained himself in the good opinion. of
moderate men, and he was fortunate enough to see a
singularly hazardous enterprize, .his Armament in
support of the STADTHOLDERt succeed; but he
alienated a great number of them by his Bill expla.
natory of his India Bill, a Hill which yet added
many means of power to all these already possessed
of it. I found_ the City very much discontented,
because one day that he was to discuss this Bill,
'which they flattered themselves would be rejeded,
and might perhaps have brought about his fall from
power, he had modified it, and the Opposition con.
sidered this event as a kind of triumph.
Mr. PITT jOillS to a great deal of character, to
much order and connedion of ideas, a cool head,
constant attention to business, and modesty enough
often to consult others from whom he can receive
information In his speeolies he is clear, mode.
rate, master of himself, seldom makes repetitions,
employs few sarcasms, little imagery, adheres cloSe.
ly to his subjed, is animated without losing
himself, takes up with art the speeches of his Ad-
versaries, combats - them with energy, if not al.•
ways with success, captivates for whole hours the
attention of the House of Commons by his
speeches and unpremeditated replies, and has no
equal in this kind of eloquence except his rival
Fox, he has a clear voice, and speaks with energy,
but he wants grace in gesture like almost all, :he
English- Orators. He supports. almost singly his
party in the House of Cortunons against opponents
of the highest talents. Disinterested, reserved,•in.
flexible, he is esteemed very economical of the
public money, expehds little, lives soberly and re.
tired, loves neither wine nor women, and appears
as tittle as he can at Court or, in the fashionable
world, where it is said he seems even a little
embarrassed.

• Mr. ROSE, one of the Secretaries of the Treasury,
a man of •talent and of charaeter, who has a great
deal of knowledge and prafflce in Finance, directs
him, it is said, in this part of the Administration.
Lord HAWKESPURY (now Rai of LIVERPOOL)
enjoys his confidence as Ivell as that of the KING
and Council, on all subjects relative to Commerce.
Sir jANIES HARRIS (Lord Malmesbury) and Mr.
FDEN (Lord Auckland), have great influence on
him so far as regards foreign affairs and external
politics, and induce him to use every means of in-
trigue.—He is very much blamed for his too great
confidence in Mr. DUNDAS respecting India affairs.
It is by his talents, his probity, his morals, and
especially owing to the bad opinion entertained in
these. respeCts of his opponents, that Mr. PITT
deserves the confidence. of the Public, notwithstand-
ing the errors with which his political conduct is
charged.

Yesterday was married at St. George's, Blooms-
bury, by the Rey. GERRARD ANDREWS, WIL-
LIAM ALVES, Esq. of Springfield, to Miss DAVID.
SON, of Bedford-square.
Lieutenant BARLING, of the Ist Royal Surrey
Militia, lately tried by a General Court Martial,
held at Canterbury, has been found guilty of the
Charges exhibited against him, and is seatenced to
be dismissed the Service.
The nests of three woodcocks were found last
week on th^ other of Dartford, by a wood_cutter,
which he left untouched, in order to ascertain whe.
titer these birds —ill breed there.

On Tuesday afternoon, at the Public Qfflee,
Union Hall, a capital tradesman in Tooley-street,
and a confidential servant to a wharfinger at Hors—
leyclown, were examined before the Magistrates,
on it charge of the former receiving thirty barrels
of American flour, which the latter was charged
with having stolen, to the value of upwards of ore
hundred guineas. The evidence being complete,
they were both fully committed for trial.
The Friends, of Cork, captured by the French
Privateer Diament, and Fortune, captured by Care
magnole, are condemned. .
