to serve thetri,„lic(Mr, W.) yielded to no Man.
He pledged!, himself to pursue that .iliee• of, cop-
duet which had been sanaioned, he .might without
Vanity say,. by the great mass of . the people of
England. Lost must he be to every feeling which
Warmed an honest bosom, jibe could desert such a
cause, and worthy to be an exile from his native
land, and hated by every honest man. He then
alluded to a letter lie had received from Shef-
field, which be was desired to communicate to
them. It informed him, that after a vote of
thanks to himself, they had come to a resolution
!gainer the general corruption, which was sigued by
15,00 U names. There was also a resolution of the
same kind from Paisley, in Scotland, signed by!4000.
He belonged to no party, nor had he a predilection
fur one more than another. He declared that till
the whole system was changed, it mattered not to
the people of England who the Ministers were. He
now tepeated what he had said in the Houser:if Com-
mies. He did not wish Ministers removed, but would
wage eternal war till the abuses the people complained
PI were reformed. He had been told by Ministers in
OW House, that if he wished to find virtue be was
to look tor it in Office, and this had been cheered by
the tippo,:ite side, as much as to say, " We are all
Right Honourable Men." There were many indivi-
duals in the HoUse whom he esteemed, who had
gone with the Meant, OUt were now ready to do
them justice. Alter complimenting Sir F. Burdett,
and Mr. Haddocks, be said there was only one point
snore on which he would detain the Meeting. -Great
pumbers of Ivo*, not only in the Metroplis, but
all Over the Oluaty, bad joined the standard of reform.
It was then the duty of this meeting to evince their
Pritivip!esto show that they bad no tear but that of
d9ilig wrong—that they proceeded on constitutional
g,hielicis, and with an equal loge to the King and to
the People. Something was due to those who were
flow Aping them, and they ought not to go any
~
'eugttm tO frighten them. Let them see their way,
and they would ue bold, vigilant and determined, as
the present Meeting was. He took this opportunity
of thanking the people of Westminster, whom he
• had not ail opportunity of meeting before, for the
hohour they hail done him m approving of his con-
duct in Parliament, and concluded by giving as a

" May the teal facobinical Conspirators be deprived of the
Power of injuring the People."
Mr. TqwNSMIND gave—
" The gailatir Castigator of our Foreign Foes (Lord Coats.
rano. ;11,1 inay he meet with CqUid,SUCCCSS, and greater sup.
purr, in joins the Yatritonc Band apinst our Domestic
Enemies."

Lord COCHRANE returned thanks, amid thunders
opolduse Lordship observed, that if every
individual would place himself in his situation, they
might form an idea of his feelings upon this occasion.
When; he had addressed them from the Hustings he
bad expressed his opinion on the subject of Parlia-
inentary &form, and after the able speeches they
had now heard on t! at subject, he would not trou-
ble them with a repetition of his sentiments. He
vias li.ippy to meet them here, and trusted they
pursue their object with firmness and modera-
tion, by a Petition to the Throne, which; to his
Mind, Was ,the only proper constitutional mode of
redress they could adopt, or succeed in. Their opi-
nions he was convinced were just, and he trusted
their example would be followed. There was
only one point which had not been noticed to
night, to ‘4 Rich he wished to direct their attention.
Xt w,ati tlfe agitatiOn of questions in the House at the
14‘nt:, when the salvation of Europe, and perhaps of
ISCHAji), CiekOded Upon them, When he had been
abroad,' he was saimetitnes almost tempted to regret
being, the tiebie6t of finch, a Government, and he
hoped the time was near when 'Ministers would be
sent for to give the information %canted by the
House, and not be employed all day in thinking on
what they were to cavil about at night, and all night
in' debating, so that the business of the nation was.
of congequence neglected. In the King's; first speech
ite had sak4 " he, was'. born and bred a Briton, and
gloried in the name." What pleasure and glory
WoUld it then be at the close of leis life that he could
accord with the unanimous wild) of hit ,people. He
again therefore recommended a Petition to his Ma-
Je4ty.
The following toasts were then given at ditierent
Canes

••
"The Eleaors of Westminster, and may the splendour of
theirvitample animate the country to imitation."
" May we " guard against the introdudiun of new and ar.
bitrary methods of trials," and " maintain ow right to AL
teal' trial by jury."
" The Liberty of the Ness, which " Is like the air we
breathe"—if we have it not we die.''
May illegal and arbitrary punishments no longer pollen:
the soil or Britain."
Mr. W. SMITH, after considerable noise and in-
terruption, obtained a partial- hearing : be paid a
handsome tribute to the resplendent services per-
formed by Lord Cocirratte, and congratulated the
'Country that he promised to be equally serviceable
in another line than that of his profession. The
Ron. Gentleman then informed the lqueting, that
lie had for thirty years been a warns supporter of a
Reform in Parliament, and a Member of the Society
for Constitutional Information, out of which grew
the Society denominated Friends of the People.
Both of these-Societies he praised ifs the highest
terms. Standing up at the cannot:ern= of the
third campaign, the two former having each last-
ed longer than the siege of Troy, he wished to
tly a low words which must throw a damp on their
spirits, though to throw any on their,exertions was
the fattliest from his purpose, and he only did this
lest) Wing the task more difficult than they sup-
Posed, they might be tempted to relax in their ex-
'°343rtions. He then went on to clew that they had
,
apathy Of some, the corruption- of others, and
4l'e Prejudices of others to contend against. Corrup-
Ulm Was to be vanquished by exposure, and picju-
_,llict! by plain I:winning and moderation. These be
advised them to adopt, and above all, be patient,
and trust to dteir great advocate, Time. He men-
tiled it as the opinion of Mr. Fawkes,. and the key.

1101.1t11 QUI' DiCtitS VALIUM AUDIAT?

L 0 ND 0 N,
TUESDAY, MAY '2, 180 g.

Two Vessals arrived at Yarmouth yesterday morn•
ing from Holland, the Captains of which state, that
BUONAPAIais was endeavouring to enforce the Cone
scription in Holland, and that in many places the
People had manifested a disposition to resist it by
force.

The firing and illumination on the French Coast
on Friday night and Saturday morning has created
some apprehentiOns that the Austrians have been
defeated. It is hardly probable thdt any deci,ive
battle could have been fought so soon atter the Aus-
trians had crossed which•was on the loth
of last month. Some gngagements between ad-
vanced posts, however, may haVe taken place, and
there can be no doubt that BiIONAPAUTIS would,
in his present critical situation, magnify to the ut-
most any partial advantage which he might gain.
We last night received Dutch . and Hamburgle
Papal, the former to the Oil) and the latter to the
al ult. They do not contain any account of a
battle. The only important article they contain is a
kind of Answer to the Notification ot the Austrian
'Government, published by General litvoUsr in the
shape of •general Ordeys. to his Army. In this do-
cument he affetis to tyet the Austrian Declaration
with great contempt; but at the same time he ma-
nifesti the greatest anxiety to prevent its circulation.

We feel great pleasure in stating, that every fresh
account frOnt the North of Spain confirms the hopes
we entertain respeaing the ultimate success of the
Spaniards. The .F'isguard, which is juit, arrived
from the North of Spain, brings intellirnce of the
compleat failure of an attempt made by the French
for the recovery of Vigo. They had collected a force

of about 4000 Men, with the intention of attacking
that important place, but they were repulsed with
very consider'able loss.

We have thought it our duty to insert an ample
detail of what yesterday took place at the Crown
and Anchor Tavern, in order'to give the people in
general a proper notion of those men who profess
to be the advocates for Constitutional Reform. Our
readers, will find in many of the principles and sen•
timents of the chid speakers, that, though these
men declare they wish to restore the British Consti-
tution, they are in reality treading in the steps of
Revolutionary France, and if their opinions were to
become generally prevalent in this country, we
might prepare ourselves fur all the horrors which at-
tended the French Revialutiors, and, of course, in
due time, for the establishment of a barbarous Re-
public, or an uncontroulable individual tyranny.—
We are persuaded that the good sense of the people
at large will induce them to look with contempt,
rather than arm, en the infatuated men who can
be so blind to the progresi of events in France, *and
can thus labour to prdtluce a state of things which
would be attended with ruin to themselves as well
as their country. •

A Mail from Gottenburgh arrived this morning.
The following are 'the only articles of-intelligence
which it brings

CARLSUBIA3I,APRII, 19.--Ihave justiheard that a
bombardment against Erthohn, near the Is►lanti' of,
