AND INHABITANTS 07 THE COUNTY 07 Berm.

" GENTLEMEN —T'auugh I have not the honour of any politi-
cal connection with you, and though I am known to you only
as a resident and acting Magistrate of the County of /3erks ;
yet, having occasionally met many of you at County Meetingi,
and having always found on such occasions a great concurrence
of opinion amongst the majority of you, on political subjects, I
take the liberty of now addressing you.
" It is not many days since I took upon myself to send to se-
veral Gentlemen resident in different parts of the County, co-
pies of a proposed Requisition to the Sheriff to call a County
bleeting, for the purpose of addressing the King on the treat-
Meat which the Queen was experiencing at the hands of his
Ministers, and of passing such Resolutions as the state of the
country might seem to require; but the event of this day, and
the scene I have just witnessed iu Parliament, do, in my opi-
nion, imperatively demand that some further steps should im-
mediately be taken by all who value the stability of the Throne,
and the tranquillity of the Country.
" It having been stated by the 3liuister, in the early part of
the proceedings against Use Queen, that no provision could be
made for her Majesty while those proceedings were pending;
and it having been lately signified to her on the same authority,
that neither could provision be made for her, nor residence ap-
propriated, until Parliament met for the dispatchef basiness ;
it does seem a little extraordinary, that the Parliament being at
that tine actually sitting, and the two Houses being to meets
and a call of the House of Commons having been ordered for
to-day, that under these circumstances a Prorogation should
take place. But the case is infinitely aggravated by this fact,
that the Queen had prepared a communication, and had directed
her Law Officers to deliver it to the Must of Commons—that
Lord Castlereagh was apprised of their intention—and that the
sittirg of the Commission for proroguing the Parliament was sO
tinted as to preclude Mr. Denman from presenting it, though
be rose at the very first possible opportunity for that purpose.
" This, ho.veva, is not all. The Prorogation took place ;
but quite contrary to the usual (I believe invariable) practice,
sus communication of any sort was made to the two Mouses on
the state of affairs, and the political relations of the country, in-
ternal or external ; though most indubitably the events which
have occurred, both at home and abroad, since the commence-
anent of the Session, have been of sufficient importance to re-
qeire that the King's Ministers should have advised his Majesty
to state to his Parliament his opinion thereon.
0 Under these circumstances, and considering the present agi-
tated state of the public mind, I cannot but contemplate the Pro-
rogation of the Parliament till the 33d of January as a measure
pregnant with the greatest danger to the State, to the tranquillity
of the People, and thence to their liberties, and to the perma-
rency of the civil and religious establishments of the country.
I am therefore disposed to recommend that a Requisition should
be presented to the Sheriff, to call a Public Meeting of the
County as soon as possible, for the purpose of praying the King
to reassemble the Parliament without loss of time; and I take
this the most expeditious mode of making known to your my
opinion, that, in case any of you should agree with me, Requisi-
tions may be immediately prepared, and signatures procured to
them, which Requisitions may be either forwarded to the
Sheriff direct, or, if sent to me, shall, when collected, be trans.
ntitted without delay. I have the honour to be,
" Gentlemen, your faithful humble Servant,
0 Lower Grosvenor-street, " FOLICSTONE

We think with his Lordship, that the disgusting
scene which was exhibited on Thursday, calls loudly
on all who value the stability of the Throne and
tranquillity of the Country, and imperatively de-
mands that farther steps should immediately be taken;
nor son a better advice be given than that Public
Meetings should be everywhere called, as early as
possible, " for the purpose of praying the KING to
assemble the Parliament without loss of time."

The new Commercial Regulations, decreed by the
Spanish Cortes, given iu the fourth page, deserve,
and will obtain the attention of those who entertain
just views respecting the real Wants of Commerce.

This country, of all others, has least right to tot& !
,plain of any of the injurious effects produced by
what is called the Protecting System. Were the in.
dustry of mankind allowed, without any restraints,
whatever, .to seek its own channels, the whole Euro-
-1 pean family would become comparatively rich in
revery quarter in a very short period—all would be
benefitted—and that of which all are in search,
would produce itself spontaneously.

Accounts from Rome state, that his Holiness the
Pops, apprehending the consequences of the march
of Austrian troops into the Papal territory, namely,
that once in occupation, they would never leave it,
assembled a conclave of Cardinals, and submitted to
them the question, whether a Representative Consti-
tution should not be granted to the States of the
Church? Upon this a long and interesting debate
arose, in which the Cardinal ALBANO warmly urged
the wisdom of securing the affections of the People,
by conceding to them voluntarily what would other-
wise be soon extorted from the Government; but on
a division it was carried-against granting a Constitu-
tion by a majority of three.

A Mail arrived yesterday from Holland, with Pa-
pers to the 22d instant. The second Chamber of t'ie
States-General was to meet on Tuesday last, when it
was expected that the annual Finance Bill, and that
for a Loan of 7,616,354 flos rins, to cover the deficit
for the present and next year, would be laid before
them.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived last night,
and those ef, Wednesday this forenoon. Their do-
mestic intelligence is of no importance. •
' A- private letter of the 9th, from Madrid, states,
that most important business is transacted in the
secret sittings of the Cones ; that several Members
presied upon the Ministry th? weakness of its Admi-
nistration; that the Ministers pledged themselves to
a more decisive „and "vigorous policy ; that the De-
puties, upon this, abandoned all opposition to the
Ministers; that the latter memorialized the Ktso
upon the necessity of acting in a manner more deci-
sively constitutional. to which he assented ; that the
conspiracy at Davila was suppressed by the energy
of the Governor and Count D'A mutat (O'Dos-
NELL) ; that the traitors in the capital were intimi-
dated, and the National Senate appeared in the most
imposing attitude.
The intelligence from Naples is brought down to
the 4th of November. In Naples, as well as in Sicily,
the greatest tranquillity prevails. Offerings of men,
arms, and money, ate daily made to the Neapolitan
Government by patriotic individuals and Corpo-
rations. In the Parliament, the Deputy MAZZONE has
proposed the suppression of the Monkish Orders, and
the application of the funds, thus become disposable,
to the public service. Should this proposition be
carried, it will afford another singular proof how evil
often worketh out good. The Monks will have to
tlia!ik a Holy :Mance for she early notice taken of
their unprotitableness.
It is announced from Bologn s, but without any date,
that the Austrian faces were making a retrograde
movement " since the publication of the Cons itution
at Lisbon." The same statement is confirmed from.,
Milan.

The King of BAVARIA is going to Troppau, to at-
tend-to the discussion of some affairs connected with
the interests of his kingdom.
