LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 10, 1820.

The Anti-Catholic Meeting which was advertised
to take place this morning in Hyde-park, for the
purpose of agreeing to an address to be male(' in
procession to his MAJESTY at Windsor, has, as will

be perceived by our report, turned out a complete
failure. The Meeting itself was attended by scarcely
two hundred individuals ; and as for the procession,
it consisted of two barouches, drawn each by four
backs, and preceded by a fuglcman, who looked re-
markably foolish in a dress of orange and black.
As great pains have been taken by some absurd
political quacks to get up this precious assembly, as
old prejudices have been appealed to, anti circulars,
which might be dangerous were they intelligible,
have been distributed in every direction through
London and Westminster, and even for ten miles
round the metropolis, exhorting the people to save
their glorious Protestant Constitution—as such
trashy appeals have been resorted to to rouse the
passions of the public and without effect, it is fair to
infer that the spirit of religious intolerance is at last
fairly laid, and that other and better feelings are
usurping its place in the public mind.

Never, indeed, did we know of a petiod when
peace and tranquillity were so universal throughout
England. The excitement occasioned by the first
broaching of the Catholic Relief Bill at the com-
mencement of the SeSsion is rapidly dying away.
The sound discriminating sense of the people has
stepped in to the assistance of Parliament ; both
have gone hand in hand together in promoting the
great work of Emancipation. and the result has
been the memorable majority of Saturday night.
Not even the illustrious Mr. HALCO3fBE himself can
now delay the passing of the Roman Catholic Re-
lief Bill.

The French Papers contain nothing worthy o
notice. Extracts are given in another column.

Quebec and Montreal Papers, to' the Bth ult.,
have been received at the North and South Ameri-
can Coffee-house; they contain nothing worth ex-

tract in,

The German Papers are filled with reports re-
specting the preparations making at Constanti-
nople, and throughout Turkey for the prosecution
of the ensuing campaign. It is said, that the Grand
Seignior inten to have 300,000 men in the field.

. .
The naval armaments also are carrying on with great
activity, though the difficulty that the Porte finds in
procuring sailors is represented as being very great.
The 13th of Ramazan is mentioned as the day fixed
for the Sultan's departure to the army.

A letter from Washington announces the follow-
ing nominations to the Senate :—Mr. FAZERELL,
as Minister to England; Mr. BALDWIN to France;
and Mr. WOODDERRY to the Netherlands. We
regret to learn that JAMES MONROE, Esq., Ex-
President of the United States, lies dangerously ill
at his re,idence in Loudon County, Virginia.

THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.)
CITY, Twxr,ra o' CLocr.

We have this morning a very late arrival from Vera
Cruz, by his Majesty's brig Skylark, bringing front thence
accounts of the Bth of March, and front the city of Mexico
of the 3d, at which period tranquillity pervaded the coun-
try, hut the advices from the latter pace gave rise to fears
. . .

that the disturbances and revolutionary acts were not at an
end, and that fresh commotions may be expected shortly
to take place ; every thing relating to trade was in a dis-
tressed state ; the people in the country avoided coming
to the principal towns and fairs to meke purchases; the
expatriation of the old Spaniards was still going on, and
no expectation is held out of more favourable accounts for
some time. Amongst the paroengers by the packet we
notice General Pedrazza, the Ex-President, and the Agents
of one or two of the Mining Companies, who, from all
accounts, must have suffered severe pecuniary losses in the
late tumultuous proceedings. The Conducta, with
500,000 dollars, left Mexico for Vera Cruz on the 15th
Feb. His Majesty's ship Druid was at the latter port
collecting specie for the Havannah and England.

THE SPEAKING FRENCH GRAMMAR,

By J. DOUVI LLE,
PROFESSOR. OF THE FRENCH LANGUAGE.

No. I, Saho-square ; and 2, Lawrence-lane, Cheapside, Landon
The Third Edition.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE

SIR,— Tim French Language being usually studied with
a view to conversation, this Grammar will be found emi-
nently useful to promote this desirable object. The rapid
sale of two large impressions of the work, and the increasing
patronage by which the Third Edition is daily distinguished,
are sufficient proofs of its superiority. Extensive experience
in teaching having confirmed me in the conviction that the
'English are peculiarly diffident in speaking French, I have
principally applied myself to remedy this matrvaise
by continually drilling the pupil on the verbs, and the
other parts of speech. By this means, and the explanatory
system adopted throughout the book, the student is kept
in constant practice ; without which very little hope may
be entertained of ever speaking French. The essays on
the rules are all colloquial, and may be considered as a
repertory for conversation ; while the verbs are exempli-
fied in quite a new and clear manner. The work is con-
clude4l by a Grammatical Analysis:, and a Treatise on
French Prosody and Versification ; besides a classified
vocabulary ; a Collection of Familiar Phrases, arranged
under distinct heads; and numerous Models of Notes and
Letters, with some forms of Bills of Exchange, Promissory
Notes, and Receipts. In the execution of the whole, in short,
I hare spared no pains in my endeavours to give the work
the greatest possible degree of perfection ; and I flatter
myself the present edition will be esteemed fully to justify
my pretension".—l have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient humble servant,
London, April 9, 1829. J. V. DOUVILLE.
