NEW-YORK, APRIL IL

Mr. Chamberlain, who arrived in the Little Bill,
from St. Bartholomew's, brings a confirmation of the
re-capture of the Levant, and states that she was cut
from under the guns of the fort at St. Jago, by the
Phcabes frigate. The Leander and Newcastle wens
left in pursuit of the Constitution. Mr. C. had a paper
containing the particulars of the recapture of the
Levant, but has mislaid it.

Captain Silly, of the schooner Selby, which art ivedl
at this port yesterday from Guadaloupe, informs us,
that on the 9th April, in lat. 21. 4. long. 65. he spoke
the cartel brig Elizabeth, Captain Hayes, bound for
Annapolis from Barbadoes, which island he left on

Captain Silly took from the cartel Captain Calder, of
New York, and fourteen others, who informed him
that the British ships Leander and Newcastle, of .50
guns, and the Acasta frigate, arrived at Barbadoes
the Ist of April, frorp aft unsuccessful chase after the
United States frigate Constitution, Captain Stewart,
which, as theßrituth officers reported, escaped in a fog.

pany. The Phoebe had arrived la England with the Essex frigate,
taken at Valparaiso. It mast therefore, have been the Acosta,

FROM THE MRECANTILI ADVERTISER OF THE 19TII.
FROM CANADA.—Letters from Buffalo state,' that
the Provincial Parliament of Upper Canada, which
is now in Session, and of which General Drummond
is President, have enacted laws authorizing the
seizure at all the American property which has been,
or may be carried into that province, which is to re-
main in a state of sequestration until the will of the'
British Cabinet is known. Some of the British
Civil Officers have said, by way'of explanation of,
the proceeding, that no treaty of commerce exists
between the two countries; and that they shall ad-
mit the entrance of American merchants and their
goods or not as they please. That there has been
some seizures of American property carried into Ca-
nada since the peace we do not doubt ; but that
those seizures were in pursuance of any laws of the
province, we do doubt much, and cannot but consi-
der them as abuses emanating from exasperated feel-
ings .of individuals, occasioned by the late devasta-
tions there.

A passenger in the brig Enterprise, from St. Jago
de Cuba, informs, that he left Jamaica the 11th of
March, at which time no intelligence of the ratifica-
tion of the treaty of peace bad been received there.—
It had not been received at St. Thomas's on the 21st
of March. General Bolivar had set. out with 5000
men on an expedition against St. Martha and Mari.

cessful.—Flour at Jamaica 20 dollars, at St. Jago 16.
Arrived at Baltimore the schboner Ant, Captain
BIIOTHERTON (ten days from St. Thomas's), with
rum—left a schooner from Norfolk, name not recol-
lected. A few days before sailing a British frigate
came down from windward, and reported that the
United States frigate Constitution had captured two
British sloops of war, one of them had been recap-
tured, and that the Constitution had got clear
Two British ships came down the bay from Tangiers

iIfErrAuNsTLAR MEETING.

A numerous Meeting was yesterday held in Palace-
yard, pursuant to notice, of the Electors of Westiiiiii-
stet., for the purpose of taking into congi,ler:itien the
jastice and policy of engaging at this time in a war
with France.
At tine o'clock the HIGII BAILIFF took his place on
the Hustings, accompanied by Sir F. Bunnerr, Ma.
jar Cnterwittoitr, Mr. WISHART, and others.
The HIGH BAII,IFI, having read the Requisition.
Major CARTWRIGHT addressed the Meeting. Her
commenced by remarking upon the indignation fiat
by all honest men at the intelligence of the violaiiin,
of the peace of a private dwelling, by the intrusion
of robbers, and upon the comparative apathy with
which the intelligence was received of fire and sword,
with their attendants, destruction and HMI d..r, heitia
carried into the heart of an uneffending nation.—
Surely before one country inflicted upon another such
complicated haters, the utmost anxiety ought to pre-
vail that the cause of War should be just. There
were, in his opinion, but two just causes of war, Ise
where a nation fought to defend itself and its liberties
against the invasion of a foreigner ; '2- %here an un-
offending people demanded protection from the ty-
ranny of a powerful neighbour. Were either of these
around: that on which Ministers could rest that war
into which they were now so anxious to plunge the
country ?—(No, no, from the crowd). —What was the
pretence on which we called upon France to disown
the Sovereign she had chosen, and to place him in
the hands of those who would sacrifice him as a vic-
tim to personal hatred and revenge ? What ezciise
could be made for carrying fire and sword Oats
France—for laying waste her fair fie:d . and dividing
her fettered people and her desolated land aniiiiig
those who should be employed in her subjugation ?
(App/airses). He was persuaded that no one wh,,
heard him would thick such a cause just. He would
reverse the picture and make the case our own.—
Suppose Bonaparte, instead of sending an emissary
with the olive of peace and friend Ship, had dispatched
a herald with the ensigns of war and defiance—sup.
pose he had declared that he would instantly coin-
mence hostilities, unless the people of England re-
signed their constitution, and consented to become
vassals to his conquering Generals : what would have
been the indignation of the people of this country at
an insult declared by such unparalleled impudence?
He would not ask the Meeting whether such a war
would be just on the part of France, but whether the
Electors of Westminster would not feel themselves
bound to fight to the last for the King and Constitu-
tion they had adopted ?—(Ctmtinued cheers).—So
much for the justice of this new war—he would now
inquire into its policy, without resting it upon the
broad moral ground that every war that was impoli-
tic was unjust, though he should be well content to
leave it even there. Did the Electors of Westminster
require to be reminded of the enormous, the intole-
ruble load of taxes under which the country groaned,
and that had crowded the House of Commons with
Petitions?—(No, no).—After some further observa-
tions, in his usual style, Maj is C. proposed to
the Meeting a Petition, recapitulating the various
grounds on which it was unjust and impolitic to make
war against France. He expressed his firm persua-
sion that it would be adopted by the Meeting.
Mr. P. WALKER, in seconding the Petition, ex-
pressed his concurrence in what had been said by the
last speaker, on the injustice and irnpoliey of snaking
war upon a man who had been chosen by the whole
'of Fiance, and who had called round him the noblest
friends of liberty and independence. He hoped the
Meeting would express its abhorrence of this new
and atrocious attempt, as well as its disgust at those
undertaken by the Congress of Vienna to parcel out
freemen, like flocks of sheep, to this or t'other Sove-
reign—one asserting that a just portion of souls had
not been assigned to him—another exclaiming that
his portion was not equal to his deserts, and all is
their kind and generous interest for the eternal wel-
fare of humanity, wishing to take upon themselves
the care of the souls of the greater part of Europe.
At such practices all the civilized world revolted,
and must refuse its support and confidence to those
who degraded themselves from the lofty rank of So-
'vereigns, to the base level of soul-mongers and soul-
misters. He trusted the Meeting would strongly ex-
ress its hatred to that execrable tyranny which had
us Spain established the dominion of torture, and
that• Inquisition which had been most blasphemously
called holy. If the injustice of war were not a reason
to induce the people of Englandto enter their protests
against it, the enormous sum of money which must
be raised to support it, the increase of taxes, 'which
' were even now so high, would be a -sufficient reason to
induce all to behold it with dread, except those who
basked in the public disgrace, who fattened on the
spoils of the people, and flourished in the ruin of in-
dustry— (applause. )—The Petition was then adopted,
two or three persons only being dissentient.
It was then moved and seconded, ia That we can-
not adequately convey our thanks to, nor our 'admi- •
ration of, our Representative, Sir Francis Burdett,
Bart. for the inflexible integtity of his public conduct, 1
and his scorn of the proudest patrons of corruption,"
which Resolution was carried unanimously.
• Sir Faancis BENDICIT then came forward amidst
loud applause, and addressed the Meeting in nearly
the following terms :
Gentlemen—lt will be with pride and satisfaction
that I shall again appear to present the Petition which
you have now voted in the Assembly wbich calls it-
self the House of Commons of England, but when I
say this I am not able to persuade myself that it will
produce the slightest effect in averting the contest.
with which we are threatened, nor can I hope that
MOM regard will be paid to the sentiments of this re-
spectable assembly than was paid to those of the Li-
verymen of London. That Assembly will embrace
the same objection to the principles of the Petition,
namely, its hostile feeling towards corruption, and the
determination which it expressed to procuic a just
and absolutely necessary reform. After you have been
so ably addressed on this subject, I should trespass
unnecessarily on your time if I troubled you with
more than a few words—(cries of no;) but it is ue-
cessaty, and you have a right to expect that I should
lay before you my undisguised sentiments on the pre-
sent situation of the country, and on the war, on the
/Urge of which we seem to he standing. I am the
1
mots desirnos of expressing my sentiments as the
=Of England hive no constitutional organ left
Vie meetings, such as the present, by which

alley can make known those gentiments to one anti-
flier, which, when _strongly expressed and
sally manifested, ma's, make some impression, even on
that House. The people of England can no longer •be
duties to false pretences—to be fooled once an age is
quite sufficient—the object of the war stands cleans.
revealed. A pretence, however, must be had, and
one pretence only can be found—the character of the
present Ruler of France, who, we are told, I'S a man
with whom we cannot subsist on terms of amity and
peace. But who are Nand in alliance at the
Emperor Napoleon ? The Emperors of Russia,
and of Austria, and the King of Pruss:a. What
treaties have these powers not violated with him, with
ris, and with one another—(l.oa_Amdarge)—as their
immediate interest, and their selfish desire of aggran-
di,ement made it convenient for them to do so ?
What faith then can bind these Allie; to us, who to
say the least are on a par with him against whose life
they conspire ? it was not the present Emperor of
France, but the Government of ;his country, who
violated the peace of. Amiens, and a message was,
on that occasion, brought down to the House of
Commons disgraceful to the nation, but which raised
the Minister of the day to a Peerage, and which it
Was now notorious contained not a word of truth.
Accounts ,4 as false as hell," were then circulated of
armaments preparing in the ports of France for t!e
invasion of this country, and this Government re-
fused to do what it had stipulated to do, viz. to de.
liver up Malta to France. That war has since ter-
minated, and the result was, as the object had been,
the re-establishment of tie Bourbons, which Bona-
parte, when First Consul, was once told were the
only terms on which peace would be accepted.—On
the same grounds are we again to be involved in a
war.—Who can foresee the result of one battle, who
can foresee horn this mad war what consequences
may ensue ? Yet it is in the power of this country at
present, to continue in a state of safety and to main-
tain the peace of Europe. France is confined ta is
ancient limits, has manifested a desire of pe ice, has
not only renounced the views and even deprived itself
of the means of aggression, and its people has sliewn
a desire to turn to that rational and satisfactory em-
ployment of forming in a country which for ages has
been a prey to despotism and superstition, in all their
horrid varieties—a fair, a moderate, and A rational
system of Government. Why, then, shall we go to
war ? We must go to war to maintain the existence
of the Borough faction. That faction cannot see
with indifference the prospect for France of a fair
and equitable Representative Assembly—this is the
cause of their enmity. It will be instructive to look
at their Allies ; for it is'a true adage," Tell me youe
company, I will tell you who you are." They have
not in their alliance one free State ; their Allies are
all despots, who, with fair words in their mouths.
proclaim their desire to maintain social order, and to
preserve the peace of the world. It was with the
same feelings, and the same professions, that the
maternal Catherine was induced to alleviate the mi-
series of Poland, by taking a large share of it to her-
self—that the King df Prussia and the Emperor of
Austria, trampling on the rights of independent
States, invaded and divided the remainder of that
unhappy country. It will be recollected, that when
Spain was invaded by the French Government, and
that the Spanish people manifested a resolution to
resist the invader, that resistance was loudly applair-
ded .by the Government of this country. Nothing,
indeed, was heard horn Ministers and their adherent.:
but glowing eulogiums upan the character of the
Spanish Patriots. What, however, has been since
the conduct of those Ministers towards the objects of
their former panegyrics ? These Spanish Patriots
established a Constitution, calculated in their vitw
for the freedom and hapeiness of their country ; but
after having answered the end of Ministers in resist.
ing the French—after having been encouraged to ex-
pect, that when liberated from the dominion of
France, they should be secured the enjoyment of that
Constitution, which, although not' bound by parch.
ments, we were bound by honour to protect—the
Cortes, with whom we were actually in alliance,
were basely deserted—both Constitution and Cones
were subverted, and a sum of money, wrested from
the industry of Englishmen, was actually sent by the
English Government, for the purpose of aiding the
subverter—aye, for the purpose of supporting that
odious and contemptible despot and usurper, Ferdi-
nand VII. accompanied by his Inquisition and his
srtures. (Loud applawa ) Such have been among
toe results of a war that has imposed the most enor-
mous burthens upon this country—burthens, indeed.
the pressure of which all classes must feel. Of the
nature of these burthens every one must be aware,
who took occasion to compare our situation at the
commencement of the war, with that to which we
found ourselves reduced at presents At the former
period the interest upon our public debt was nine
millions; at present that interest amounted to forty
millions—the debt itself, in the first instance, being
. about 200,000,000 while at present it exceeded eight
hundred millions; at the former period our.taxatten
was about 16,000,000, while at present it exceeded
70,000,000. Our poor's rate, too, which in 1792
WAS 114tle more than 2,000,000, had, in consequence
' of the aggravated wretchedness of the people, through
the peesiSure of taxatitm, risen at present to-nearly
7,000,000 a-year:. Such, independently of the shock-
ingeffusion of human blood, has been the calamitous
result.of a war, the only object of which was. to set
asp despOtism • wherever it was put down, or to put
down freedom wherever it was set up.— (Apt/mum)
Yet this war, with the same object, it is still proposed
to renew. Oue should think that the people of this
country bavequite enough to do to settle their own
affairs, without meddling with the :Obits of others;
and sure I am, that it would better become their
character and interest to take care of their own frer-
dom, than to disturb the freedohi of others—for
should they succeed in destioyiog the freedom of
other countries, there is but too much reason to ap-
prehend that that success would serve eventually to
enslave their own.—(aterpieure.)—At all events, 1
trust that the people will, do their duty by imitating
the examples of London and Westreinster—by pro-
testing strongly against a war full of peril, and what
is worse, marked by gross injustice—against a war
which, whether successful or not in its,ohject, tfiust
prove in its consequences a certain calamity to the
rule of England.—( Acclamation: of umlaute.)
Thanks being voted to the High Bail if, that Gen.
damn Wetly addressed the Meeting.
Thaaks were also voted to Major CARTWAIRT.

BOROUGH 11fE.E71NG.
Yesterday a Meeting wasaiteld at the Town Hall,
in the Borough, for the purpose of taking into cons;-
iteration the pri.ptiety of pr,les!ing agAillSt tin, re-

when on Lccount of their being so few persons pre-

cf.+ y.
Mr. S. F. WADDINGTON °Netted to this mode of
proceeding, milts% it could be stated that there lima'
be a certain mother of palsons present to constitute a
Meeting, the present was a legal one, hav;ito. ht-en
legally convened. 'There wete now near ‘.41
hun-
Ore.!tespectahle inhabitants asf the Iloyongh ; • t!,ey
svete surely competent to discuss the ,u11.,.ts tin
were convened upon, since a measure of so flinch im-
pot tance to the country as the Property Tax was read
a third time the Houser of Peer."whei n'h ov•re
than twelve Peers were present, and itr the'n..uee of
Commons when leis than two hiindred Members
, •
were in the House. .

After some observations from Mr. BRAND, the
Hicit Barium? read the retrishion.
Mr. 8. F. %VaI:MD:VI-Oa %heti insi• to move certain
Resolutions, and in &in..; so a..ivei led to the passiag
of the Property Tax Bill, and to the cfrcumstanix of
the rejection of the petition ot the'City of London
aea•ust it by the House of Commons. A Lea:•ned
and eminent lawyer (Mr. Se:jeant Best) Lad said
that the language of that within was 'such 'as the
City of London ought to be ashamed ot ; it that
Learned Gentleman had referred to the petition pre-
sented on au occasion somewhat similar by the City
in the Mayoralty of Mr. Alderman Becktord, he
would have found language much stronger used
there, yet that petition wets received and attended to
by the House. The rejection of petition ia ques-
tion, however, proved that to petition the House of
Cammons was ose!eis ; hr should mat, thereiore; rro
pose ally such peti:ion, hut in Lead ot it would pre.
rose a Petition And Addtesi to her Royal Highness
the Pri•!ersc Charlotte of Wales, Collitt3tßiisiting her
Roy .•l Highness on her arrival at years of tmturiiy,
arid praying that she wool,' Ltd graciously pleased to
it•terceo.: with her R yal Father, and prevent, if pos-
sibie, tote coontry being plunged by his Ministers in
a det:roctive and ruinous war. Mr. IVaitetington
concluded by moving a Resolution for addresing the
Princess Charlotte of Wales. •

Mr. Coteknt conl.l not agree in this Rest)! .iton,
first, becruse it wrs not applicable to the'proiessed
objects of the Meeting, as 'wed in the Req::;s::ion ;
3nd next; because he could not consent that the inhi-
bit:tilts of the Borough, s‘ :to haft themselves the
siht of addressing ilia Throne or Parliament when-
e.ver they draught fit, should approach timer by a e-
dia i ion. With respect to the objects of the Meeting,
the renewal of the Property Tax, Whlch had been re.
pealed in eompliance with the nu nevus petition. pre-
sened ag,tinst it, WAS a direct breach of covenant with
the people. Ministers had indeed repealed it, but
instead of it, they had, in the first instance, imposed ;
on the rnblic Ow Corn Bill, which was passed
throngli the House with such haste, that be (Mr. Cur-
-nor) u idel stood a most important clause had been
omitted—namely, the clause prohibiting the impot-
trtion of flour, and the Bill was thus tendered nuga-
tory. And now, in addition to the Corn Bill, Mini-
sters, who considered the Property Tax as two good
a thing to lose, had rencived that also. With respect
to the ear, he believed it was undertaken with a view
to force upon Vrance a Government to which she
vas averse. This .would only serve to unite the
Tr, itch people more closely, and II we went to war
'with such an object, it would most likely be a war of
liner continuance, and more ruinous than the last.
The Worthy Gentleman then strongly urged the ne.
cel,6ty of Parlianemeny Reform, and eimeluded. by
moving certain Resi.lutions embiacitig all
.the prints
of his speech, as an Amendment to Mr. Wadding-
ton's Resolution,

Mr. BRAND could not agree to Mr. Waddington's ,
Ilvsolution, Which he considered as improper, since it
was calculated- to sow the seeds of discord between
the father and the daughter, and to create di..sentitia
in that family, where it was of the greatest impor-
tance to us that union should prevail. He had also.
another objection to the Petition to the Princess Char:
Lai ; that War, that the ;nipple hasi a rik,fit to
pcp-
tiva Paniatzieut, or the Throne, without any intermt-
a:e int, rcesi.ion. Mr. Brand then proceeded to
.curunient nil the Requisition, which, he contended,
embraced too many points, and could not be taken
into c .ttsidcration all at one time. With slit feeling
he should, seLatever•might be the result of that mo-
tion, move that the Meeting should now adjoltrui—
ai..cl he would tanker state, that if, atter this, the Re.
solutions now proposed should be carried, he would
imrnedoitely set' about proeuring the signature of
• counter-resolutitms. (2,sue/ lamb and crier of how
him out.
Mr. iCrustrso trnsted the High (Nag would not
strffa such. laligitage as this tO be held by any Gen-
tleman. The place in which they were now assem-
bled was the only constitutional place of meeting, and
was it to be borne that any persashotild get up and
declare, that if certain measures were adopted in. this
constitutional assembly, he would endcavour• to pro.
cu:e out of doors counter measures to be adopted.
The Hiatt BAD.11:1 dsought it was improper
that any Gentleman should have Made any such de-
claration. Whatever might be his intintion, he should
have kept it to himself.
Mr. BRAND then declared, that whatever might be'
the fate of the. present resolutious, lie would strongly
oppose them, because be considesed-thein as contain-
ing declarations highly mischievoos, and such as no
other`body in the kingdom would imitate.
• Mr. HALL WAS in favour of Mr. Cbonor's Resoln-
• tions. kle was strongly agait4i 'again. ettgaing In
Wsr, which he contended would prove ruinous to
this country—the people of which were already 'over-
boirtheued wit!: taxation : he contended that it was a
circumstance placed beyond the reach of contradic-
tion, that Bonaparte was the choice of 'Le French
nasion. When/Louis XVIII. was recalled,
.peace
was made between France and this country—a peace
whiCh was celebrated by a Jubilee and public rejoic-
ing. Bonaparte was now ready to maintain that
peAce: if it was so good a year ago, *hat Wad note
changed its Character, and' why should it not ,t* be,

maintained with Bonaptre? ' tie en:minded tir de
Glaring. that, in his opinion, nothing but Parliamen-
ory Reform could save t'le country. . .
Mr. KICSIMISII commented in strong terms upon
the inequality of the Property Tax j which, he said,
was a tax the mnst oppressive to the poor that ever
was imposed on the people. He declared himself
the enemy of B.ulaparte ; but he could not consent
that this country should. be again !lunged in war for
no other put pose but to replace the Bourbons upon
the throne, who for ages had hems the- inveterate
enemies of England. lie thoaght the country Khou!d
be put in 4 state of defence, such as should act as a
check upon Bonaparte, and restrain any inclination
-.Welt he might tel to future innovation. It was to
au armi.2l neutrality. he looked—a respectable and
pi:we'll:l armed mutrality ; but he could not consent
ag Ain 1.• plunge the country, as he considered, unne-
c( 5.:iii..,., in W.:r. With respect to Mr. Connor's
11.:sii;,:;i0o3, they were, in his opinion, too long, and
in mil,P p Ins oijeciionable ; and, tinT.4:l°re, when
1 Mr. W.:Jilts:gm:: s Resolution should be disposed of,
he would move an Amendment to Mr. Connor's
Resolutions.

Mr. llnst;r.AT rose to n fret to the Meeting some ex-
planation of the motiva, which had induced him to
vote for the Property Tax and for the War. lie had
always declared, that al hough he should be ready at
all times to attend to the wishes of his Cowtittients,
he should always discharge his dm y as his conscience
dictated. In voting for the War and the Property
Tax, be certainly had not consulted his o*n interest,
since he knew !tie was entailing on himself a very
heavy tax, and taking the side of the question by no
ne, ars the popular one ; but he was induced to do it
by a conviction that no ramie,: could be placed on
any Treaty made eLlt linnap trie ; and further, that
he was not called back to the throne of France by the
i'Lll ty the army. Such were the feelings of
the I louse of Commons, who unanimously agreed to
the Address of the Prince Regent, praying him to
put the count: y in such a state of defence as might
have a weight in preserving Peace. It afterwards
appeare.: to hint, that the liona! had no wails of
reckeming their pledge to the Government but by
revving the Property Tax ; and therefore he had vu-
toil tor the revival of this tax, though he had pre-
posed some amendments to it, to relieve tradesmen
with incomes under two hundred pounds a-year.—
The whole sum raised by this Tax during the last
year was W 14.408,591, out of which the proportion
paid by "Tradespeople was no mare than £•2,776,4b9,
or about one•filth. Thus, therefore, be considered
that, under all circumstances, a fairer tax could not
be Oupowd on the public. The Hon. Member then
alluded to Parliamentary Reform, and declared him-
self friendly to that object ; although he felt that
there was a cons:del-aide difficulty in adopting any
system of reform which would prove eilicacieur.
The Resolutions of Mr. WADDINOTON were then
negatOnd, and those of Ali-. Coroton agreed to.—
Adjouraed.
