SHROPSHIRE COUNTY MEETING.

A Requisition to the limn Sawß9 appeared in
the Sa&pion Journal of January 3, with the Mott
SHERIFF'S Reply, appointing the Meeting to be held
on the 10th. The Notice of the Requisitionists was
a surprise on the County. In the Shrewsbury Chro-
aide of the sth instant appeared a Letter, signed a
Shropshire Freeholder," announcing the intention
of Mr. BENNET to attend; and on the 7th a Letter
to the Electors, from Mr. 'BENNET, was published
and circulated in the County, so far as the limited
time fixed by the Requisitionists permitted.
On the appearance of Mr. BENNET's Letter, the
Tory interest was actively in motion; and the most
peremptqrr orders were tent to the tenantry of that
interest to attend early on the day of Meeting and
secure the Hall. The Sheriff did not attend. The
Under-Sheriff, a very young man, the son of the
professional agent of the Lord Lieutenant, filled
the Chair. _ _

Sir ANDREW CORnET moved the Address, which
was seconded by Mr. J. A. LLOYD. it was in the
usual style of mock loyalty—speaking of floods of
blasphemy and sedition.
An Amendment was moved by Mr. BENNET, and
seconded by LECHMERE CHARLTON, Esq.
The speech of Mr. BENNET drew forth thunders of
applause, even from the tenants of the Tory interest
arrayed against him.
When a division was called for, the shew of hands
was at least three to one in favour of Mr. BENNET'S
Amendment; and the young Gentleman who pre-
sided in the absence of the Sheriff, paused. He whis-
pered to Earl Pow's, the Lord-Lieutenant of the
County, " What shall Ido ?" He hesitated a few
seconds—and pronounced that the original Address
was carried.

The Allied Sovereigns assembled at Troppan have
drawn up an Address to the different Governments
of Europe, relative to the affairs of Naples, and the
principles by which the Allies mean to direct their'
interference. The document, which does not admit
of abridgment, we cannot insert to-day, owing to
the necessity laid upon us to attend to matters which
more directly concern the interests of our own Coun-
try--the proceedings in the different County Meetings
of Hampshire, Bedfordshire,Cheshire, and Shropshire.

In Cheshire, the HIGH SHERIFF refused a division,
when called for by the party who opposed the Mi-
nisterial Address. In Shropshire, the shew of hands
was at least three to one against the Ministerial Ad-
dress, but the young man who acted for the SHERIFF,
after consulting with Lord Powys declared that the
Address was carried. In Hampshire, and Bedfordshire,
.the Addresses, condemning his Majesty's Ministers,
were carried amidst loud and enthusiastic acclama-
tions. An Address against Ministers has been also car-
ried in the City of Chester ; and in the Meetings held in
the Wards of Cripplegate and Bishopsgate, and at
Croydon Ministers have also been loudly censured.—
Fer the full details we must refer to the Reports
given intur columns.
There are many complaints in the City respecting
the Address, purporting to be that of the Merchants,
Bankers, &c. and in consequence a Requisition to the
-LORD MAYOR is in course of signature, for calling a
general public Meeting of Merchants, Bankers, and
Traders, at the Egyptian Hall, to express the genuine
sense of that Body on the present posture.of public
affairs.

The Paris Papers of• Tuesday arrived at a late
hour last night. They are almost entirely filled
with the Debate which took plaCe on Monday in the
Chamber of Deputies, on the Project of Law for au-
thorising the Provisional Collection of six-twelfths of
the direct Revenue for 1821. The discussion' was
adjourned. Letters from Corfu, by way of Naples,
say that the Greek troops opposed to Au PAcan
had taken two forts which defended Janina, and
that ALL had no longer any place of defence but
the old citadel.
