LONDON, •
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2i, 1317.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday last, which were
doe this morning, have not come to hand.

A Private Letter from Park in a Morning Pa-
per of this day states, that the concordat had
been rejected by the Council ; and mentions a
report that the King of PUUSCIA was about to
withdraw his Contingent from the Army of Oc-
cupation in France, on receiving the amount to
be paid to him under ►he Treaty up to the year
1820. The last mentioned rumour is, we have
no doubt, utterly destitute of foundation. The
first statement may be partly true, some of the
articles of the Concordat having, it is said, been
objected to by the French Government.

The SP.ECIAL COMMISSION for the Trial of the
Rioters was- opened at Derby yesterday, but the
Trials will not be proceeded in till towards the
middle of next month.

The British Press, we observe, is the only Lon.

don Journal that has ventured to praise the recent
Meeting at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in honour of the
memoty of Mr. Fox, and it charges " the Mini-
sterial Papers" with being angry that such a
meeting took place. But in justice to ourselves
we must observe, that none of the Papers which
generally support Government except THE SUN,
expressed any sentiment on the occasion. We hare
no hesitation in saying, that it was any thing but
a meeting in honour of Mr. Fox, whose name
and character seemed to be incidentally noticed, as
might always be expected among a number of per-
sons who profess to be animated with his principles.
Several of the Speeches delivered at the Meeting
were of a very inflammatory nature, 'rarticularly

that of Mr. -LmUsTorz, who spoke of Government
in such
,terms of abuse as was stiikingly characte-
ristic of Spa-fields Oratory. Among other out-
rageous charges, this Gentleman uttered the fol-

lowing expressions in, reference to the pre-
sent system of Government : " It is as hate-
ful,
,as abhorrent to, our feelings, as any tyranny
of Continental Despotism ever invented. Its ob-
ject is military despotism, its means are bribery,
.suboroation, corruption, and perjury." It may
be' fairly said, that there can be r? want of Liberty
of Speech .where, such accusations are uttered, or
Liberty of the 4 Press, where such .declarations are
published. There were other, passages in this
Gentleman's speech which we shall not stain our
columns by iusert;ng; yet, contrary to the assertion
of The British Pri7t, ".tlit Ministerial Papers," as
it calls them, suffered these offensive charges to
pass witlauut notice, though, ai peoleisiag an at•

tacliment to Government, it inight be expected that
they would haite aPpearca in its defence rather than
enter into fr'u'itless and fri'vOlous contcntion3 with
Th'e Morbid g ehronkle. Ltird CttEY, with a watt
of &icy, Introduced- the INCOilit TAX, hbUsiUg
its nature ani depreEcating its revival. The Noble
Lord, ofcOurie; must have forgotten that Mr. Fox
doubled it *lteli he 'clinic hitt) office, and spike
contemptuously .bf the people when, lie said,
that if it pressed too heavily on them, those who
occupied the first *or., iiiitst go to the second
and so on to• the . third. This declaration was as
unfeeling as illiberal and impolitiC, and if it had
been uttered by any of the present Ministers',
would have brought forth torrents of paky' ran-
cour. There were two matters., hOwever, at this-
meeting which must be satisfactory to the real
friends of the country. Lord GitEir retract-
ed his opinions respecting Parliamentary Reform,
though he beat about the Bush, and attempted some
qualifying explanations, as if to avoid the charge
of apostacy, and Dr. LUSHINGTON; amidst much
abuse of Ministers, declared that he believed the
doctrines which have been propagated of Universal
Sufrage and dunual Parliaments, are the most cer-
tain means of preventing all practical Reform and
dmeliorat ion .1" What Will The Morning Chronicle,
ivith Messrs. WOOLLER and the old Reforming
Major, say to this declaration ?

Extras:t of a Letter from Flushing, slated the 18th Instant.
" Amongst many other species of fraud upon our (the Bli-
fish) revenue, I was struck with •the novelty of one stra-
tagem, which f understand has been since successfully re-
peated. A vessel sailed from the port of London with a
freight of plate glass, on which a large drawback is allowed,
so high, I am told; as 75 per cent. That amount on the ergo
was of course icatived by the shippers. Within one ninth
after it was smuggled into gugland, and bas since undergone
the saute productive ordeal."
