In the article yesterday, headed " LITSILAILT Conetnascits ;"

About six o'clock this morning an officer, in a carriage
and four, arrived with dispatches at the Colonial and Fo-
reign Offices in Downing-street.
This afternoon, at half-past three o'clock, a Cabinet
Council was held at the Foreign-office. The Council,
which was numerously attended, continued in deliberation
for a considerable period.

Every body knows—if they did not know it before,
yet at least from the occurrences of the last Session—
that the Duke of NEWCASTLE is a furious and selfish
politician : but few persons, we believe, will not be
taken by surprise, when they hear the unconstitutional
extremity to which the Noble Boroughmonger has just
avowed himself determined to carry his principles. The
rage of his Grace at the independence manifested, during
the contest for the representation of Newark, by those
electors who voted for Serjeant WILDE, was by no
means allayed by the defeat of the Learned Serjeant.
On the contrary, the Duke saw in this demorairation on
the part of the freemen of Newark, a tendency to over-
turn that political autocracy, which had been exercised
over the borough for so many years without disturbance
by the House of CusTow : and he determined to put
the question to rest, by a recurrence to no equivocal
counteraction. In pursuance, then, of this resolution to
he as completely master over the voters of Newark, as a
Jamaica planter is over the black cattle on his estates,
the Noble Duke served all his refractory tenants in the
offending borough with ejections, on the last quarter day.
The number of these ejections amounted to several
hundred ; and among them was an old man—eighty
years of age—who had been upwards of fifty years a
tenant of the Noble Duke, and his ancestors for two gene-
rations. The dismay and indignation which these pro-
ceedings excited were striking and universal ; and after
the first burst of astonishment and execration had sub-
sided, a requisition numerously signed by the electors
wa.; addressed to the Mayor, requiring him to convene a
meeting of the inhabitants in the town-hall, to 'deliberate
on this extraordinary matter. The Mayor of Newark—
with the instinct of a true slave, who felt that he was
the property of the domineering aristocrat—refused
either to call together the inhabitants, or to suffer their
assembling in the town-hall. They resolved, therefore,
to meet without this degenerate municipal, in a tem-
porary building erected expressly for that occasion ; and
" feeling that the honour and character of his Grace the
Duke of NEWC ASTLE was seriously affected by the
proceedings adopted in his name," they forwarded through
the medium of their Chairman a letter of invitation to
the Noble Duke, that he might attend in person, and
explain the share which he had—or had not—in such an
astounding transaction. The insolent and haughty peer
not only rebutted' the proffered courtesy of the conveners,
but replied in a letter so full of original feudalism, and un-
disguised contempt for the people, that we cannot refrain
from printing it here—as an oligarchical curiosity—in
double leads. It is addressed to the public-spirited
Chairman of the Meeting—Mr. SAMUEL BILISTOWE*
and runs thus :

Cumber, Sept. 28, 1829.
Sta,—l am much obliged by the complimentary manner in
which you have invited me to attend your Meeting on the sth of
October, although, upon reflection, I think you must perceive
that it would be utterly impossible for me to attend a Meeting of
the nature described in the printed Advertisement.
If I rightly understand the object of the requisitionius, it is
to assert the cause of freedom and independence. No man on

earth values both more than I do. But as I respect the liberty
of others, so must I demand that others shall not attempt to
interfere with that freedom and independence which is my
right as well as theirs. According to my interpretation of
the advertisement, you meet to deliberate upon an interference
between my tenants and me. Is it presumed then, that I am
not to do what I will with my own? or that I am to surrender my
property, and the inherent rights belonging to it, into the hands
of those who desire to deprive me of it? This is the simple ques-
tion ; to which I answer, whilst the laws of England exist and
are respected, I shall permit no clamour, nor threats, nor even
finer itself, to deter me from doing as I may think fit with my
own property.
My advice to those who deceive themselves with the nation that
they are acting as becomes free-born Englishmen. is to maintain
the well-halanced'4".ir of even-handed justice, and not blindly to
engage in An. unjust crusade against any man or men, (especially
w)aa those men themselves ate the real friends of patine freedom
and the constitationsi rights of the people) Merely because they
may be the possessors of title or property. Tour invitation to the
