Yesterday, we laid before our Readers an account
of the Gloucester County Meeting, for the purpose
of considering the propriety of petitioning his MA..
ne*y to dismiss his present Ministers from his Coun-
sels. The Address and Resolutions agreed to at that
highly respectable Meeting, will be found in the first
page of this paper. The pseudo-loyalists in that
quarter, unable even to sbew themselves at a fair,
open, Public Meeting, arc, we understand, preparing
a snug 4, loyal and dutiful Address to his MAJESTY"
in some hidden corner, which, when duly Concocted,
will be offered for signature to such as may approve
of the measure.

The proceedings of the Meeting of the County of
Fife, given in our columns this day, must be most ap-
palling to the Ministerialists! Some of our Readers
may feel a little surprised that we should speak thus of
a Meeting which actually voted a Ministerial Address
to the KING by a majority of fifty; but none who
are acquainted with the political state of Scotland,
can take any other view of the proceedings of the
Public in that part of the kingdom. What! in'
Fifeshire, a minority against Ministers of thirtyfve!
This is indeed to speak with a voice of thunder as
to the effect produced by the late scandalous pro-
ceeding, against the QUEEN. And mark, too, the
subdued tone of the Ultras in that quarter. To
carry any Address, even under their influence, they
me obliged to disavow any intention of thereby
meaning to give any approbation of the conduct of
the KING'S Ministers. For what, then, are their Ad-
dresses E;o. up ? To assure his MAJESTY of their
loyalty ? Who has questioned it? Why, then, Ad-
dress? Aye, why, indeed! Why expose their own
w?alness? Why labour to force forward a public
dissent, when everything was unanimity before:—
when they might have allowed Ministers and the
People of England to continue in the belief that the
Scotch were still as subservient as they used to be
under the domination of IleNnx Dolmas, afterwards
Lord MSLVILLE.

In consequence of the continuance of strong gales
from the North and North East, there was not a
siogle vessel from abroad, nor even a coaster entered
rt the Custom-house on Saturday ; and to-day there
are upwards of twenty mails overdue, Ft ench, Ilam-
burgh, Scc.
Since writing the foregoing, a Mail has arrived, at
a late hour, from Flanders ; but we do not observe, on
a cursory glance at its contents, anything of suffi-
cient importance to induce two delay our Publication.
