infringe upon the law in one point, than suffer the
'torrent 4 anarchy quietly to burst its bounds and
sweep before it every thing sacred; there are then
cases of necessity which warrant a departure from
the general rule, salus populi supreme: lex ; hence
a Minister ought, for the good of the State, or in
'other wonis, for the good of the Nation, to adopt
such measures as are capable of ensuring it, whether
they be or be not to be found in the Code of Laws,
he being legally responsible for every illegal exercise
of power not absolutely warranted by the necessity

of the occasion.
" On these grounds the interference of the Minis-
try in the Elections may be warranted ; for supposing
Government inert and the extreme parties alone ac-
tive, one of two things would follow—either the new
Electors would be Ultras, and the majority thus
thrown into the bands of the Cote Droit, aad we
should have the whole Constitution upset to re-esta-
blish the feudatsystam, or the violent Liberals would
triumph, and the nation would again become Repub-
lican, and re-act the scenes of 1793. Ambition is a
ruling passion in the French nation, and to it every
.consideration, every virtue, is sacrificed: they may
be compared to a set of unruly school-boys, who
can only be governed by a rod of iron—if you are
not their masters, they will infallibly be yours."'

MEETING AT LEEDS, SEPTEMBER 13.

This being the day appointed by Public Advertise-
ment for a Meeting at Armley Hill Top, for the pur-
pose of taking into consideration the present distressed
state of the Nation, and the best mode of obtaining
a Reform in Parliament, a considerable number of
persons began to assemble early in the afternoon :
the day being uncommonly fine, drew together a
large assemblage of the votaries of Saint Monday.
The Chair was taken a little before five ; and after
the principal personages had delivered their-speeches,
a series of Resolutions, in the usual strain, were duly
moved, seconded, and passed with acclamation.—,
There were several hundred persons from this town
and the vicinity present at the Meeting, but they
were wholly of the labouring class of Society. It is
but justice to say, that several of the speeches evinced
considerable talent, and proved that the speakers had
read deeply on the subject treated of. The Man-
chester Magistrates and Yeomanry came in for a due
portion of execration. Darkness put an end to the pro.
ceedings ; and the persons assembled dispersed peace-
ably to their respective homes—previously pledging
themselves to meet again, and to give their firm sup-
port to the cause in which they had embarked.
London, England, 1819-09-15

Mr. Baron Woon.—No, certainly not.
Mr. Ilopki is then directed the defendant to take
his seat within the Bar.

Mr. WlLLlAms.—When your Lordship shall bear
the numbers engaged in the combination, it would
appear different.
Mr. Baron WooD.—lt appears to me to be only
irritating matters to proceed.
Mr. WILLIAMS-4 am not instructed to say that it
is unnecessary. The Learned Counsel then proceeded
to state the case for the prosecution, and called seve-
ral witnesses in support of it.
The defendant read a paper in his own defence.--
It represented, that those of the master manufacturers
upon whom the defendant had waited, had agreed
to an advance of 7s. in the pound, if. the whole would
agree to it. Ile had mentioned at the Meetings, that
the welvers at Bolton and Manchester had obtained
the regared advance, and that, if they would follow
the example, the effect would be the same. But he
had stated, that he woulii act for himself, and leave
it to others to act as they chose. He had never been
guilty of any conspiracy.
Mr. Baron WOOD summed up the evidence. If
the Jury believed that the defendant had conspired
with others to force an advance of wages, they would
find him guilty; if they believed that he had acted
only for himself they would find him not guilty.
The Jury almost instantly found a verdict of Guilty.
Mr. STA RICIEI..-4 move that the defendant be
Committed.

Mr. Baron WOOD.—James Watson, you have been'
convicted, upon very'convincing evidence, of a'very
dangerous conspiracy. Such conspiracies are very
mischievous, and if they were allowed there could be
Ino commei ce. It is highly necessary, therefore, that
they be discouraged, and put an end to. The sen-
tence upon you is, that you be imprisoned in the Jail
of this County for one year.
The defendant immediately leaped, with great
agility, into the Dock, and descended into the Jail.
He is an active acute-looking young man, of 23 years
of age. The Court was crowded with spectators,
who seemed extremely attentive to the proceedings.

London, England, 1819-03-23

WATER COMPANIES.

Mr. M. A. TAYLOR, in allusion to the Report he
had just presented, said, he felt it his duty to make
a very few remarks on the conduct of the Water
Companies. They had of late, at least within these
few years, divided the town among themselves, under
a promise that no increase of rates should take place
on that account. But the public unfortunately felt
that this promise was not realized, that in truth no
regulation was entered into for the general good of
the inhabitants, but that they were left totally at the
mercy of the Companies. The rates charged by the
said Companies were also most oppressive, particu-
larly considering the very extraordinary rise they had
lately made. The injury arising from their oppres-
sive conduct was peculiarly felt by persons who hap-
pened to come into houses in the room of old tenants
who had left those houses without paying their rates ;
the consequence was, that the Water Companies de-
manded' payment at once from the new tenant,
without any regard to his condition, and unless pay-
ment was made, the water-pipe was cult off. He
highly censured such practices, having known the in-
jury resulting from them, and sincerely trusted Par-
liament would interfere to prevent this going on.
Mr. HOME SUMNER had no hesitation in affirm-
ing, that the various Water Companies had violated
their compact with the public ; and therefore some
remedy ought to be adopted to remove the serious
grievances. At the commencement of the later Com-
panies, they advanced as a specious argument in
favour of their charter by Parliament, " Let us come
but once into competition with the other existing Com-
panies, and you will see that the public will be better
supplied, and at more moderate rates." Instead of
this, however, being the truth, the public were left;
as the last Honourable Gentleman had well observed,
at the mercy of the Water Company combinations,
greatly inconvenienced, and in some instances even
ruinous to certain individuals. Ten or twelve years
had now elapsed since the experiment had been intro-
duced, and the consequence was, that the competi-
tion which had at first been so promising to the pub-
lic, liad.terminated in an active combination against
it. 110Honopta416 Umber stay well remembered,
that as an excuse for that cOmbinatian, the junior
Companies maintained, that by the incredible losses

subjected to 4or 4:5,000 expenses on the Metropolis
Paving Bill. If the different parishes however would
unite together and support the measure—Wear, )rear)
—he pledged -himself he would introduce a Bill to
the purport suggested by the Honourable Gentleman,
from a deep-felt conviction of its vital importance to
the inhabitants of the Metropolis--( Hear,hear, hear).
The Report was laid on the table.
The Petition from Mary-la-Bonne was then ordered
to be referred to a Committee, to inquire into and
report on the subject.
London, England, 1819-03-23

CALEDONIAL CANAL.

Mr. ARBUTHNOT moved that 50,000/. be granted
towards executing the Inland Canal from the Ear-
tern to the Western Sca.

Lord CAR lIAMPTON wished to know how much
greater the expense had been than what it was first
calculated at? He wished to know also how much
it would take to complete the work ?
Lurd BINNING said the original estimate he be-
lieved was 500,0001. The number of English and
Welsh labourers employed was to that of the natives
as I-70. He understood from 9.0 to 30,000/. more
would complete the Canal.
Mr. HUME said, he understood that 30,000/. after
the present grant would complete the work. He
hoped, however, before another application was made
to the House, a particular survey should be made.
He feared, however, that the tonnage which would
be received on the canal would not turf it up.
The CIIANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUIM said,
that the Commissioners were no doubt disposed to
afford ever) information to the House.
Mr. W. SNIITII said, that though he should not
have given his approbation to the work, if he had
originally known that it would have cost 800,0001.
yet lie could not refuse to grant the sum now required
to secure the utility of the money which had been
already expended.
After a few words from Mr. Alderman WOOD,
the Resolution was agreed to ; the House resumed,
and the Report was ordered to be received to-morrow.

COPY RICHT ACT.

Mr. LAMBTON begged to state the substance of
a Petition that had been intrusted to him by the
Booksellers and Publishers of London and Westmin-
ster, praying for a Repeal of the Copy-right'Act. It
was enough to mention the names of Messrs. Long-
man and Co. Messrs. Rivington, Mr. Murray, and
Mr. Mawman, to secure it attention ; in shOrt, it had
been signed by all the respectable Booksellers of the
Metropolis. It appeared, that between the years
1814 and 1818, the house of Longman and CO. hai
lost, by the operation of the Copy-right Act, no less
than £1,885 ; while Mr. Murray had lost in the same
period £1,275. It was stated that the delivery of
eleven copies of only five works, including Dugdale's
Monasticon, and the• History of St. Paul's, would
occasion a loss of £2,198 ; and eleven copies of Dods-
well's Scenes, at the trade price, would be worth
£275. Under these circumstances,, the prayer was
the Repeal of the Act.
The Petition was brought up, laid upon the table,
and ordered to be printed.

DUTY ON COALS IN SCOTLAND.
Mr. HUME presented a petition from Aberdeen
against the equalization of the duty on coals.
Mr. Alderman WOOD took this opportunity of
stating, that it had never been in contemplation of any
Member of the Committee which in the last Parlia-
ment had sat upon this subject, to extend the equali-
zation of the duty on coals to Scotland. There was,
in fact, an understanding that the duty 'on coal had
been entirely taken off there by a former ministry,
and a duty on whiskey (which was, he believed, much
more productive) had been substituted by consent.—
He saw by the Scotch papers, that the inhabitants
of the north began to be alarmed, and he was happy
thus to remove their cause of apprehension. He
hoped that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would
indulge the citizens of London with a similar substi-
tution, for any tax could be better borne than one so
materially affecting the comfort of the lower orders.
Mr. H. SUMNER begged to assert most broadly,
that of all the objects of taxation none more improper
could be devised than the impost upon coals. It was
his intention to bring under the consideration of the
House the propriety of repealing the duty on coals
throughout England, Scotland, and Ireland,—/tear.

BANKRUPT LAWS ANIENDMIINT BILL.

Mr. J. SMITH brought up a Bill to amend the
Laws relative to Bankrupts, which, after some obi.er-.
vations from Mr. MICHAEL ANGELO TAYLOR, WAS
read a first time. •

COMMITTEE ON TIIE STATE OF VAGRANTS.

On the. motion of a Member, the -names of Mr.

berly, were ordered to be added. to the list of the

IN TIIE MATTER OF MR. W. QUIN.

Sir ROBERT WILSON rose to inform the House
that the Minutes of Evidence in the matter of Mr.
Wyndham Quin, being only from the printer's hands
that afternoon, would not be ready for delivery to.
the Members until to4norrow morning (this day).—
He should therefore move that the order of the day
On this subject be now discharged, and that it stand
to that day sennight.
The question was put and ?greed to.
Lord CLI•VE then moved, that the Speaker do not.
issue his warrant to the Clerk of the Crown to make
out a New Writ for the Borough of Barnstaple until
Monday next; also, that the Repot t of the Barnstaple
Election Committee be brought up on Monday next,
both which Motions were agreed to.
Mr. BENNET oly.erved, that a Bill which he had
had the honour of bringing before that house, rela-
tive to the Chimney-sweepers and Climbing Boys,.
had been, lost in the other House; he now rose to
give notice, that he should on Wednesday, the 31st
instant, move for leave to bring in a BiU for the bet-
ter regulation of the Trade of Chimney-sweepers.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
moved, tit* the Lords' timesavers be called in, and
acquainted, that for so much of their message as re-
lated to a copy of the Police Committee's Report of
1816; and also tO` copies of the first, second, and
third Reports of the Committee of 1817-18, the
House would send a messenger of its owl to them.
The Messengers were then called in, and after
being so informed by the SIIALIR, withdrew.
Mr. BROUGHAM said, that he held in his hand
a Petition from several persons, now in New South
Wales, praying permission to prefer certain com-
plaints before that Honourable House against Go-
vernor Mafquarrie, presiding over that Settlement.
In compliance .with the wishes expressed to him by
several Gentlemen, he (Mr. Brougham) had delayed
bringing forward this Petition some days. He new
gave notice, that he should to-morrow prese9t it.
Dr. PHILLIMORE rose to move that the order
of the day for the second reading of the Marriage
Act Amendment Bill be postponed until Friday next.
He had intended to have again brought this Bill,
which was to amend the Act of the 26th George 11.
for the prevention of Clandestine Marriages, before
the House this day; but to meet the convenier.ce of
a Right Honourable Gentleman John Nicholl,
we believe), he had been induced to postpone it till
Friday.—Ordered.

Central Commission named for the examination of
the Project of Law, introduced by the Minister of
Finance, for enabling the purchase and sale of Go-
vernment Stock to be effected throughout the Pro-
vinces with the same facility and advantage as in the

duced on both sides. Ordered to be printed, and the
discussion upon it to take place on Monday.

VIENNA, Dnermurat

The merchant Abraham Uffenheimer, who had
suspended his payments fur some time, appeared
yesterday on 'Change. This house, as was expected,
had made an arrangement with its creditors. The
e..-ent has caused, a great sensation among the mer-
chants. There is again a great deal of business doing
on our Exch.‘nge, particularly in foreign paper.

SITTING OF TIIF. 6TH JANUAItIi.

The Assembly met at noon in a Committee ; at
three quarters pat twelve the sitting became public ;
the process-verbal was read and approved. The clerk
then read the process-verbal for the Secret Com-
mittee of the whole Chamber on the 3lst December
and 4th January, which were adopted. It appears
from them. that in the first of these Secret sittings,
project of law was presented, proposing to lay a duty
on potash, soda, and weed-ashes, with the view of
taking. off afterwards the duty on manufactured soap.
The second sitting was employed in reading the
Report of the Central Section ; and in the discussion
of this important law, the grounds and regulations of
which were explained and defended by his Excellency
M. Appelius, Director-General of the Excise and the
Export and Import Duties. •
The law being put to the vote, was adopted by a
majority of 64 votes to and sent to the First Cham-
ber for its sanction. _

In the third Sitting. a Message from the First
Chamber was communicated, announcing that it had
agreed to this law. The Chamber then put an end
to secret proceedings adopted on this subject, and
nothing else being on the Order of the Day, the
Chamber rose and adjourned indefinitely.
Note.—The law which has just been passed is of
the highest importance to our soap manufacturers,
and Couriers were immediately dispatched to all parts
of the kingdom, iu order to prevent fraud and the
introduction of new material; from foreign countries.
It is thought that the duty on manufactured soap
will continue for some months longer.

SOUTH AMERICA.

Buenos Ayres Gazettes to the 28th October have
arrived. That of the 9th September contains the fol-
lowing account of the manner inewhich the troops on
board the Trinidad (one of the transports which sailed
from Cadiz in May last) were received by the inha-
bitants of Buenos Apes :
" On Sunday last the friends of liberty, from the Trinidad
Spanish ship, made their public entrance into this capital. The
troops of the garrison formed themselves into columns in the
streets, front the Reeidencia to the. Place de la Victoria, and our
new guests marched between. them. The national standard was
carried by the famous Remigo Martinez, whom the Govern-
meat has lately advanced to the rank of Lieutenant of our
armies. This exhibition was truly a great triumph. The con-
course of people, the acclamations and other ordinary and extra-
ordinary demonstrations of joy, were such as can only be con-
ceived on this happy occasion. Our new comrades having ar-
rived at the Place de la Victoria, the Brigadier-General of the
Staff, Don Jose Rondeau, addressed them. The harangue was
received by shouts and acclamations in favour of the Supreme
Director, of the Sovereign Congress, and of the military force.
Our new friends were immediately directed to the habitations
appointed for them in the cantonments of the regiment of war-
riors to which they have been joined. AU classes of the people
throng to satisfy their curiosity, by viewing the•new comers, to
whom they spew every mark of respect and attention. Many
Officers of this place have given 700 dollars for the relief of their
new' companions in arms. We wish to snake nations understand,
that the people of Buenos Ayres esteem, as they ought to do,
the merit of such an action, and that of the freemen of the
Trinidad."

RASTADT. DECEMBOR 7t.

The agreeable intelligence begins to be circulated
that Bavaria has at last acceded to the arrangement
made at Aix-la-Chapelle, relative to her relations
with the House of Baden.

Ft)! some days past a report has been generally
current in the Kingdom of Wurtemberg that the
Provincial States of the country are on the point of
heing of new convoked. The King, it is said, has
resolved on making a new attempt to come to an
traderstanJing with the States on the basis of an uni-
form Constitution for the old and new Provinces.
11,"e as e assured that M. Malchus had opposed this
project, so that his removal may be regarded as a
fortunate event. It is hoped that there will be greater
1 harmony in the Assembly of the States on this occa-
sion than was exhibited durill; their last session.
The young Count 13elecznai, who killed his father
last summer, had succeeded in escaping from his
prison at Pcsth. He repaired to the paternal estate
in the neighbourhood of Perth, where he extorted
some sums from the factor, and afterwards had the
audacity to go into the town of I'esth on horseback
and armed. Ire alighted at the house of an impure,
whom he had known for a long time. The Authori-
' ties being apprised of his return, took measures to
have him arrested, but he bairicadoed the house and
defended himself desperately. After having killed
one of the officers of police, he surrendered by capi-
tulation, reserving to himself the right of firing his
two pistols in the air. He is at present guarded with
the greatest rigour, and will doubtless not escape the
punishment due to his crimes.

ALGIERS, NOVEMBER 26.

The plague has entirely ceased its ravages in our
unfortunate country; but it carries off at Constantine

from forty to fifty persons daily, and it prevails
Bona, which gives us reason to fear that it may ytt
again burst out at Algiers. It appears certain that
the number of persons who have fallen victims te
here is not less than 24,000, and in the country rart;
120,000.
