MEETING AT BRISTOL.

This meeting, as we hoped, has passed over
the slightest disturbance. The weather was
favourable ; but, notwithstanding the incessant
about 2000 people were collected on Bran'
A Mr. PIMA was called to the chair, and
addressed the meeting in his usual strait
mending a radical reform. Resolutions, the
substance as those recommended by him
meetings, were agreed to, and also a Pen
presented to the House of Commons by Loi
RANE. It is now lying fur signature at
" the Petition of the Ireehoidtrs, Freemel
holders, and other inhabitants of the City
and neighh,-,url-mod."
Every precaution had been ,a7cen by
tratet, to pt-zvott, or instantly to suppress
tempt that might be t:t-t :le to exc:te scene:
and tint, like those ~:1 ich lately assail,l
Mony c.f the most re,r:,:table householder
swc,lti in as constables, and considerabh
Milit.:-y, with several of the cavalry and
A the country, had been assembled in the
!':clod, but there wai not ,he slightest syrup!
I and, after the businels of the day, all recut
Ito their homes r and the Military te-ihsir
stir ions..

In clnscrrence of the arrival of the Du
Lixraux, 4 Cabi,ict Couticil was held yi
which hi; Grace atteneed, and which sa,

till live o'clock. Miter the b-eaking up of
Cowell, elle of t!!': Paige's Aides-de-Cai,ip (Lard
ARTHLR Hat, v t. s'elieve) was di:patchee for the
Head-quarters of the British Arnri at Mont Sr.
Marsan, in France; ani a wn
sent off to the British Ambasiadnr at Paris
Soon after the breaking up of the Council, it els
known that Lord HILL, had been appointei secondit
command of the army in France, in the room cf Lord
CostmenstEne, who goes out as Governor and Com-
mander to Barbadoes. This, however, c' 'd not be
the business which brought the DUKE to England, alf
the latter appointment had been announced in the
Gaxett of Tuesday ; but being on the spot, it is rea-
sonable enough to suppose that his GRACE might ie
consulted respecting the appointment conferrtd on
Lord Hru.. It is understood that his Grace will 'ate
little time in returning to Paris. He proceeds to
Brighton to-day, thence to Diver is to dine orich
the King of FRANCE on New Yew's Day.

Last night, at twelve o'clock, the Duke of Wile
LINOTOri had a long conference with Lord CASTLI-
REAGII at his house in St. Jarnes',.sqliare. After
leaving his Lords'lip, his Grace proceeded directly
to Whitel2:ll, where Le had a conference also with
Lord Ltarei;pooL, who was waiting for hii
leave to others the of eetation of stating whe,
at these interviews. All that we know is, ti
Are preparatory to his Grace's teturn to P,
which city the Duke set off this day by way of
ton, where he will have an interview with OA
REGENT previous to his embarkation. It is
stood that his Grace means to be in Paris berate
Ist of January, being, it is said, engaged to
the KING on New-year's.day.

A Flanders Mail arrived last nig'r.
contents k appears evident that Cie D.
Flemish Statesmen are by no means agree:
policy of prohibiting the exp•ntatien c.f
plain evidence that in that king.tom tit(
scarcity, but the contrary. The Ministtrs s(
' of opinion, that exportation should be aPo,
Ascend Chamber have resolved the cont:
First Chamber hesitate : and the Grvernnion!,
to carry the free exportation, is willing to conrroole,
the business in the way stated in former a:;.:ottti-4,
by prohibiting exportation by the land frontiers,
countries which have prohibited the export tato t
Netherlands, but allowing exportation by sea.
