PROVINCIAL JOURNALS.

The Glasgow Courier, in its notice of the
Radical Meeting at Rutherglen, has the follow-
ing admirable observations :
" Such Meetings cannot benefit the people :
they injure the sacred cause of liberty, end tram-
ple on all authority; we would rather wish some
restrictions upon the exercise of this privilege,
than see it carried to the present alarming extent.
In'all the accounts we have read of simihr Meet-
ings, there is one universal cry against the Throne,
the Church, and the Constituted Authorities of
the Land. When such, unhappily, is the actual
temper and disposition of the Reformers, it is
surely high time for all the higher ranks—intlced
every rank—in society,' to be active in adopting
such measutes as may tend to strengthen the
hands 01 Government. No time ought to be lost.
The Ist of November is near at hand, and it is
generally understood that 0,1 that day, Fignulta-
nrous Meetings are to be held in all the disturbed
districts of the kingdom ; and, if these Meg rings
do take place, they may be considered as the first
step toward actual rebellion. lVhat advantage
the nation would derive from a Reform, or rallies.
a ReVOl'llion, brought about by such a hotly of
unprincipled trier', was strongly stated by the
Hon. Thomas Erskine (afterwards Lord Chan-
cello!) when, as a Connseltor, he was pleading
against the book , for a blasphemous
libel—` Much (said Mr. Erskine) as 1 wish for
I Retorts', 1 would rather retire to the uttermost'
I corner of the earth, than go to the great work
I of Refotmation, wills a multitude, set free from
I all the restraints and duties of religion, 811(1114-
' robed of all the charities of Christianity.'

" The King did not go out yesterday ; his Ma-
jesty received the Spanish and Neapolitan Am-
bassadors, and transacted business %vitt) several
of his Ministers.

" It is said every where, and every body be-
lieves it, that M. Gregoire has determined not to
sit in the Chamber of Depnties, and that he has
given in his resignation. Liberaux,
and Royalists, are all enchanted at this in-
telligence.—(Gazette de France.)
" The King on Wednesday, on leaving the
Council of Ministers, at which he presided, owns
bled over a chair, and slightly hurt his foot, but
the accident does not give the to any disquietude.
" There is a report °I.-establishing a Cordon
along the Pyrenees, in order to cut off all cost-
tnonication with Spain.

" FRANKFORT, OCT. 20.—The Commission
at Mayence will shortly assemble. M. Grono has

mann, by Bavaria, and M. de Bar, by
,Hanover.
It is fo i d that M. de Guillmann will be appointed
by the Grand Duke of Hesse, and M. Mulct by
the Duke of Nassau.
" BERLIN, Ocr. lB.—Madame Catalan► set opt
to-day for Breslau, Posen, and Warsaw,
" FRANKFURT, OCT. 23.—1 t is believed that
the Emperor of Russia will await at Warsaw the
issue of the, conferences at Vienna, aid Ow his
Imperial Majesty will prolong his stay at the tor-
mer place till January.
" BeitoN, OCT. 16.—Still more rigorous mea-
sures have been adop►ed by the Government
against secret Associations."

We feel very great pleasure in stating, that
Lord LASCELLES is to be appointed Lord Lieu-
tenant of the West Riding of Yorkshire,. Never
Was an appointment more properly' conferred, or
more likely to be discharged with honour to the
Individual, and advantage to the Country.

There have recently been strong rumours of an
approaching reconciliation •between the present
Ministers and the GittiNvtu.a Party, and, that to
promote this harmony, the CATIIo.LIC CLAIMS lire'
to he conceded to the latter. We are of opinion that
there are no grounds for these insidious rumours,
and that if There were, and upon the alleded con-
cession, the Nation ‘vould again witness the result of
the memorable COALITION between Lord Non-rn
and Mr. Fox, which produced the political ruin
of hoth. For ourselves, on such an ()erasion,
we shook! resume, and tnaintain, all our ANTI-
CATHOLIC Opposition the moment that the Con-
stitution in Church and State should be threatened
by so ominous a conjunction.

The Speech of the Earl of ALBEMA,RLE, on the re-
cent Not folk "Meeting, the proceedings of which
are copiously stated in our Paper this day, while it
professes mildness, is perhaps one of the most
inflammatory harangues that has been delivered

et any Ptiblic Meeting since the memorable
events of the 16th of August at Manchester...-.
It is impossible that the most furious of die
Radicals, could have uttered a more rancorous
attack upon the present Government. ---
'rave not room this day to comment on the
Speech of this Noble Lord, but we refer to the
excellent Letter from our valuable Correspondent
TENAx, in Tni SUN of Saturday, and to another
from the same Cut respondent to Earl GRosyartni'
this day, as the arguments which be has so justly
brought forward, and so powerfully enforced, arc
et-pally applicable to the conduct of the Earl of
ALBEMARLt.?. We shall, however, resume the sob'
ject, and bestow particular attention on the Speech
of Lord ALBEMARLE, sincerely regretting that be
has either so little judgment as not to know the
real danger of the Country, or to conceive that it
can be averted by the sanction given by persons
of high rank and great possessions to the Ouse
of Radical Reformers, who detest Nobility, 8E44
are anxious to destroy them and divide (bait—

property. We shall only observe at present,
that the Resolutions passed at the iMeetio‘'
in question, were all in the hackneyed 81td
nearly in the identical words of all that hale
been passed at every preceding Meeting of the saute
nature. The Address intended to be presenld
to the Parttici3 RBGENT begins with a fallacy'
for it says, " Ws, the Noblemen, Gentlemen,
and Freeholders," &c. as if they included 610
the. loyal People of that description in the
County of Norfolk, whereas the previous D'
CLAItATIONS, founded upon opposite sentiments
and views, were supported by persons of the
sante description, and fully as respectable.'"
We are surprised that the Noble Lord should 0°
this occasion have degraded himself, by sneers fit
the " Norfolk Militia," and the '' Norfolk Drug"
niers," as if they were the chief persons wh°
signed a DECLARATION more honourable to the
loyal character of the County of Norfolk, and
the City of Norwich, !ban either of the Meet"
iugs, that in the one case would not suffer
Lieutenant ST. Jon to he heard, and, in lbe
other, would hardly permit so respectable a cbs'
racier as Mr. Wornnouss, the Member for tile
County, to deliver his sentiments before it;
could be known what he was likely to say, except
indeed because it as known that he was sni°
mated by a spirit of loyalty totally unmiogiol.
with party feelings.
