Meeting is nude with so nisch politeness, that I have replied to 11.

those of the Inhabitants of Newark

In conclusion. I must remind
who suffer themselves to be led to suppose that they have cause of
complaint against me, that neither I nor my ancestors have ever
been oppressive or tyrannical landlords. The very reverse is the
well-known fact. In us the town of Newark has on all occasions
found ready and prominent benefactors ; by us the deserving poor
and needy have always been regarded with steady kindness and
consideration, and not to suit the mere purposes of the day.
When we ate found to deviate from this course, then arraign us ;
we should merit correction. But whilst we are your friends, your
constant and best friends, we naturally look for entire confidence
and a grateful co-operation, not an assumed distrust and a faithless
disunion.

I am, Sir, your's, Ea.
NEWCASTLE.

Mr Samuel Br!Rowe, Chairman.
We will begin with the beginning of this rescript.
I think, upon reflection"—says the Noble writer—
" you must perceive that it would be utterly impossible
for me to attend a meeting of the nature described in the
printed advertisement." His Grace,by his own admission,
has been always puzzled in the collection of his ideas,
and the task does not seem to have been less embarrass-
ing on this occasion ; for—otherwise—the Noble Duke
must have been made aware by the least " reflection,"
that the conveners did not at all " perceive" his Grace's
attendance to be " impossible:" if they had, of course they
would not have invited him. It served, however, as a peg, on
which to hang some of his aristocratic arrogance, and
to prove that the Noble Duke knows how to be con-
tumelious, even in politeness. What an instinct the
exalted Boroughmonger evinces, for the conservation

o f his upper-class inviolaLility !
But it is in the next paragraph, that the doctrines
and dispositions of the Noble Duke shine ,forth with
their characteristic lustre : it is there that he talks in
one breath of the value that he sets upon freedom
and independence, and the right he possesses to force
the consciences, and controul the " freedom and inde-
pendence" of others. It is there that he calls MEN
his property—property " inherent" in him—and asserts

his right to do what he pleases with them. If language
of this kind can be uttered with impunity in these days
of advanced intelligence, and clearly defined constitu-
tional prerogatives, it is exactly for this reason—that its
impotency is on a par with its audacity. Let the
Noble Duke, however, beware that he do not carry
the joke too far, lest the unpopularity which
he produce around him contribute in more ways
than one to the deterioration of his revenues, and
perhaps even endanger his personal residence in the
heart of a justly exasperated tenantry : sit verbum sat.
Nothing—not even force itself, says the Noble Duke—
shall " deter me from doing as I think fit with my own
property :" meaning, by this property, the freemen of
the borough of Newark .!
We invite serious attention to the details of the Meet-
ing at Newark, which will be found in another part of
our paper : the character
.of such a lord as the Duke of
NEWCASTLE was by many erroneously supposed to be
extinct—but circumstances call forth oligarchs, as well
as heroes. Assuredly, it is matter for public con-
gratulation that such obsolete oppressors are now
monsters in the body politic—and that these notions of
the Noble Duke are not characteristic of the Peers of
England. If they were, they would justify the uprising
of the people, to exterminate the pestilent body with
the sword.

An article now before us from St. Petersburgh, dated
the 16th September, and received this morning, informs
us that His MAJESTY has addressed a most gracious Re-
script, accompanied with the insignia of the Order of
St. Andrew, in diamonds, to General Count DIEBITSC II
SABALKANSKY, as a testimony of his satisfaction, both
with his victories, which have led to the occupation of
Adrianople, as with the perfect discipline and excellent
behaviour of the troops, towards the inhabitants of the
conquered countries. His MAJESTY says:—" It has
always been my wish that the Russian soldiers should be
as mild to the peaceable inhabitants as terrible to the
enemy in the field!" Herein consists the moderation of
the Emperor NICHOLAS. The following are selections
from the Journal of St. Petersburyh to the 19th ultimo,
and from the Dutch Papers received this day, to the 3d
instant. The latter contains some useful information
to persons contemplating a residence in the Nether-
lands :

ST. PETERSBURG. SLIT. 19.
Up to the 15th inst. 1199, vessels had arrived at Cronstadt ;

BRUSSELS, Om i.

The King of Prussia is expected here in a few days; apartments
are already prepared for hint in the palace of Luken. The Grand
Duke Constantine, who is at Ems, is also expected in a few
days.
The report of the arrest of a person suspected of being concerned
in the robbery in the palace of the Princess of Orange in un-
founded. It seems that some suspicion is attached to two persons
who have taken the road to Germany.
