A Meeting yesterday, rather suddenly c inel, tort
place at the City of 'London Tavern, to alit the time
of Spanish Independence—assembled by Mr lien
And his friends. Thesprofessed object was, ultimo.
municate with the respectable Conttrutee.whe ,lit a
.11tE crown and Anchor; to know trout thent whet 1
a Public Meeting was to be called, and if not ie.
tended, then Mr.:441.7NT and his friends ate to sou
men the citizens themselves. Now, we put hi° nit
Gentleman, to whom we will not deny the metitsi
perseverance and consistency, though he his dunes
great many unwise things (notto say svotse of thew,
whether any possible object can be obtained by an
Meeting he and his party have called, or may re.
summon ? What the Spaniards u antis not era*
Radical oratory or even Radical sympathy; a few
stand of arms, and a few thousands in money, noel;
be much more useful and welcome. The first co
not be had without payment, nor the latter with*
individuals to subscribe. Mr. Huar's naturapiwahl
in the Public Papers for. One fisoldred Postads to
the Greek •Subscription, and, if ha pail the saw.
it was a generous act, for which he deserves gall
credit; but the party to which be is attached lane,
neither influence, money, nor credit; we might tit,
that unfortunately they have very little character uo
It was easy to perceive the grounds on which de
Committee at the Crown and Anchor defored the
announced Meeting ; they were apparent ia the re!
sent uncertain state of things in Spain. If
tion •is to follow Axootmzue's possession of
Spinish capital,and the Cortes and Government u•
cede to. it, the interference of the English people is
dividually becoinei unnecessary and use/ess lit
results are unliappily.the last-things Mr. HOW! ad
his party ever calculated or looked to. If they plo•
claim another Meeting, no Gentleman, no Banter's)
bferchatt, of any pt operty or respectability,. viils*
tend or support it. and. the greatest injury to tbetaiew
will follow.- - If they:leave it in the pfudent ilka •
siectaile batds.where it• now is, the Meeting will be
called if necessary, 'and supported by the pima
and subscriptions of every independent man is Enr
