NAVY FIVE PER CENTS. MEETING.

THIS DAL

In consequence of an Advertisement calling a
Meeting of the Proprietors of the Five per Cents. at
the City of London Tavern, this day, about fifty Gen-
tlemen assembled ; when, after considerable delay, a
Mr. iltamis,with whom the Meeting had originated,
and who appeared deeply interested in the business, and
Mr. PEARCE, an attorney, who declared he had no
interest at all in it, read each a series of Resolutions,
not materially differing from each other, and were
on the point of putting them, when a Gentleman re-
minded them that they had no Chairman. Mr.JACOB
IticAltuo, Mr. Iliooluis, and Mr. PEARCE had been
called upon to take that office, when, at length, Mr.
PEPPERCORN took the Chair.

Mr. HIGGINS stated his disappointment that the
Meeting had not been more numerous, and as he had
been the principal mover, offered to return the ad-
mission money (five shillings each) to such Gentlemen
as might ask for it. He then stated the proposed object
of the Meeting, which was to petition Parliament
against the new law for reducing the Five per Cents.
which was contrary to the Act of the 24th Geo. 111.
by which that Frind had been created.
Mr. BUNGESS moved that a select Committee be
appointed, to whom the two sets of Resolutions
should be referred, and with power to convene a se-
cond Meeting, or take such other measures as they
might deem necessary.
A Committee was then appointed, consisting of
Messrs. I'EPPERCOitN, HIGGENS, BURGESS, JO/IN
WOOLLY, MoxoN, and hits:, when the Meeting ad.
jonrned.

The French Papers
The plot at uinur has been...._
Path ; the objects, it is true, Mete different? but both
spew that disaffection in France to the existing state
of things is by.no means local. 'De following is chg.,
account of the affair in the French Journals:
" PARIS. MARCH 2.
" Twelve persons were arrested yesterday among the grimes
which were formed round the Church de Petits-Peres. They
were lodged first at the guard-house of the Veterans, then cow li
ducted, at half-past eleven, to the Prefectare of the Police in six
hackney ceachee, escorted by gens d'armes on horseback.—
Messrs. de Corcelles and Demarcay, Members of the Chamber
of Deputies, being in one oE the streets, where the group's were
collected, had also been arrested and conducted to the post of the
Malrie, near the Church de Petits-Peres. After a proces ver-
bal had been drawn up in their presence, they were released.
" Today, already at four, in the afternuosi, they were sta-
tioned in the place des Victoirics, and the environs, gene d'armes
on foot and horseback, a regiment of troops of the line, and ve-
terans. Public tranquillity has not been disturbed in the Church
As Petits-Peres, nor in the streets adjacent.
" In the church of St. Eustaehe some individuals who, it
seems, could not be discovered, scattered under cover of the dark-
ness, mephitic substances, which produced so in fectieus..an odour
that the people were obliged to leave the church. Some grouper
assembled near the church of Bonne-Nouvelle, cries were timid
Dam oath tke Missionaries.' Thete were some groupee also
in tps sweet Neuve, des Petits Chimps, but it seems they were
composed only of persons attracted by curiosity.
" Private and public carriages drove about without hindrance,
the galleries of the Palais Royal were frequented as usual. In the
Rue Neuve des Petits Champs almost all the shops were shut."
The arrest and subsequent treatment of Messrs-
Demarcay • and Corcelles, on Thursday, became the
subject of serious and indignant complaints, On the
parts of these Deputies, to the Chamber, in the cnurse
of Friday's debate. General DEMARCAY described
the insolence and injustice which he had experienced
.from the police and gendarmerie, and contrasted it
*ith the moderation of the National Guards. The Ge-
neral, it appears, was passing with his wife to the habi-
tation of hoc invalid mother, when he was first thrown
down by. a gendarme on horseback, then lodged in
a guard-house, and not discharged until three or four
hours afterwards, when he had undergone an exami-
nation by a Commissary of Police. M. Coaceuis
was used in a manner still more violent, having been
struck at by a gendarme with his drawn sabre, and
narrowly escaped a severe wound upon the head.

M. de la BOURDONNAYE observed that the case was
of a serious nature, but he thought the Deputies
themselves who had been arrested should have made
a motion on the subject. 41Hitherto, Gentlemen,
there has been sufficient scandal. These movements,
exciting to disorder and the overthrow of the throne,
doubtless come from some part of France; but *to ac-
cuse the King's Ministers of them is a felony. These
Seditious cries, which resound everywhere, do but re-
peat what has been said at this tribune. What do those
cries announce ? It is Napoleon 11. that is proclaimed.
We'll let the factious know that all of us Ministers
and Deputies unite to combat them ; I who have al-
ways defended our public liberties ; I myself will be
the first to demand that the Throne be invested with
the most absolute power to save the Monarchy. Yes,
if necessary, we will sacrifice individual liberty, the
Liberty of the Press, everything in short, that the
Throne may not perish—(Brato, on the right). It is
with much grief I declare it ; but seditious writings
are placarded in all the streets ; the youth are called
to arms. All these attacks must be repelled. If, in
such circumstances, I had been arrested like the two
Deputies, I would be silent."

The subject was finally got rid of by moving the
previous question.

The Prefect of Police has issued a Proclamation
against tumultuous assemblages of the people, and
enumerates the severe penilties to which persons so
assembling are liable.
M. LAFITTE, the banker, has addressed a letter
to the Editor of one of the French Journals respect-
ing his litigation with the representatives of BONA-
PARTE, in which he states that, in 1815, BONAPARTE
lodged with the house of LArtrrz 4,220,000 fr.
in cash, and the remainger of 5,000,000 fr. in se-
curities, supposed to be recoverable. The Bank
gave him, first, a receipt acknowledging the
5,000,000 fr. to be payable at sight: secondly, a
letter of credit on bankers at Philadelphia, payable
also at sight, for the same amount. The securities,
never were realized—a part of the 4,2:0,000 francs
was remitted at sundry times to BONAPARTE'S order;'
and the balance, being 3,149,000-francr, is credited
by I, tars to the representatives, uh 'ever they
may be, of BONAPARTE. The only question between
the parties is, whether the executors of BONAPARPE,
coming with an extract from his will now in England,
and with a letter missive not written in BONAPARTE'S
own hand, can give LAZITTE an acquittance good in
law against all third parties? His Counsel say 4, No :"
the executors affirm the contrary.
French Funds left off on Friday at 75 E 90c.

This forenoon we received a Hamburgh

lowing are extracts :

ST. PETERSBURGII, FEBRUARY
A number of Poles, who were taken prisoners in
the campaign of 1812, were carried to the farthest
parts of Siberia : some of them who remained behind
in- the Government of Tobolsk, were taken by the
Kirgese hordes, and sold to the Khan of Bucharia as
slaves ; here they were employed six years in the
'hardest labour, till they at length escaped, and wan-1
dered through the dessert for 700 miles to the town,
of Ufa, in Orenburg;—being unknown wanderers
they were here put to the hardest labour, till authen-
tic information could be obtained respecting them.—
They at length found means to write letters, which
made their condition known to Prince Constantine,
and consequently to the Emperor, who immediately
gave orders to set them at liberty,; and to provide
them with winter clothing and money for their jour-
ney. They have now happily arrived at Warsaw,
after having passed ten years in the hardest captivity,
a concurrence of the most singular circumstances
having prevented the Government from learning
their fate.
