CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 11.

A new ship ot the line of Hid wins, to which the
name of Malsmuciie was given, u a. laiinched on the

way of .Porus,a, Alin accompanying his Lady and
laiwily•to Smyrna, on their way to Genoa.
r.ough all neuti al vessels tha have arrived at Te e-
dits, since the 14th of Nov. have been warneJ off by the
Russian squadron, and consequetitly no supplies have
since arrived from th- ..tlediierranean, the Government
does not seem to appreheed any scarcity, as the con-
sumption of the capital is provideJ for sere, al months
to come, partly by the stuck in hand, partly by the coi-
voy which aisived on the }Bth and 19th instant, and
partly by the supplies Which have been received by
way of .Rod astoirom the Ent opean provinces and Nico •
rnedias, andis OM the Asiatic side of the Peopentis.
Immediately-on receipt ot the first news of the block-
ade of .the Dardanelles, .the Porte ordered caravans fur
the conveyance of corn by camels in rations directions
to-the coasts of Asia Minor and Syria. It is affirmed
that 900 of these animals are already allotted to this
-service. Besides, several ships with provisions have
lately arrived from the Russian ports in the Black Sea.
Under these circumstances, the prices of brrad and
other provisions have not risen since the blockade of
the Dardanelles; nay, the Government has of its own
accord desisted from the intended removal of all the
Greek and Armenian .Rajas not regularly settled in the
capital.

•On, the ilSth instant, the oelebrased Husni Bey died,
.sifter at axon illeess,st the age of 74. In his long public

The right side of the ha tines was taken posessinn
of by the Anti Catholics, and the Pro-Catholics ar-
ranged themselves on the left.
As the c-towd cortioned to thicken, they were mu•
sionally amused by the observations of the Noblemen
and Gentlemen assembled on the hustings, and repeat-
edly cheered those distinguished persons in return for
their ebullitions of feeling. The li,st compliment of
vos nature•was paid to Lord Rolle, wh•i good humom•
ed.y observed, " You will always find me at my post
when I can tend r you any assistance—you have a
right to be hear and you shall be beard." To a Clef-
s►man who came on the hit:dogs a person in the front
exclaimed, s. Put on your can orcols—yon are ashamed

site shouted " No Popery." There and many other si-
milar observations formed a sort of prologue to liar
important debate they were Assembled to h -or, but as
it is unnecessary to give mate than a specimen. we pass
on to t e inimediote business of the Me thie.
At a quitter before twelve, the High S ieriff (Witt.'
LANOMEAD. Esq ) arrived in his coinage, arid was'
gre,ted with enthusiastic cheer s by all part tel. Precisely
at twelve, silence having been oht 4ined. the !Ugh Sheriff
addressed the Meeting, ob.erving that if he might judge
from the %%eight, respectability, and talent of ihe As.
tenthly, it Vell• fair to piesume that the cease of the
Cou.ity would be assert tined on that occasi .n.
The Requisition was then :rid, and the Sheriff pio.
posed to :rad lettet s front E ol Mount Edgecumhe, Sir
l't a) ton Drake, and Mr. C. 1-1. Clifford, apol f
their absence, but the Meeting, to save time, declined
to hear them.
Gaortoe SYDENIIANI Fiyitso ‘x, Esq. came forward,
and thus addressed the Me:ting :—The Peition I ant
Anon: to pro,mse to you. tit nay 'hot temperately depre-
cates the consignment of political power to persons who
have nev.r yet es-i riled it hut f“r the subversion of
P.. ttitantism. Whatever merit or merit the Petition
may possess. it is couched in moderate language, with
which view, and a desire to avoid all cavil, it has been
revised over and over again; it is so ma.zei ate, that I
would have ventured to read it at once. but in conse-
quence of so much li.vinG been sa'd on the subject of
this Meeting, I shall address a few words to y.itt. It
has been argued that you ought to resign the question
to the Legislatu-e, as hest calculated to judge of it;
however, it is my hope that you will on this occasion
prove it to be that subject which of all others you will
determine to keep in your own hands; hewer resign t?:0
inestimable Constitutional privilege of addressing the
Reeresentatives of the nation. Are we to petiole*
against nothing but a Turnpike Bill or a Local Nuisance,
and not against a measure which the wisest and best
Statesmen have considered to he incompa.ible with the
safety of our Constitution? The power to which I
allude is the Spiritual supremacy of the Pete in these
seaims—a power which our most poßic, wisest. and
be t Pt tsices have found their chief safety in controul-
jog. If there are any Gentlemen here who are versed
in the general councils and doctrines of the Church of
Rome, I appeal to them if that Church does not hold
the two principles of implicit obedience to the Pope,
and a -divided allegiance. I maintain that in all oaths
there is a resi-rvation made for the interests of the Ca-
tholic Church, of which the Pope and the Priests only
are judges. These doctrines show how incompatible
the Romish Church is with our Protestant Govern-
ment, because they take out of the hands of eve!), in.
dividual the right of keeping his own conscience, and
entail it to the Pope and the Priests, who are bound
by their oaths to persecute every religion but their own.
I have chapter and verse to prove it. When •we see
in a neighbouring island an Association, unknown to
the Constitution, exercising all the prerogatives of
Government, levying taxes, raising and martialing
troops, it is our duty to oppose such dangerous inno.
