1 O I bN.

expressly those acts which all the world else con-1
damn, otherwise let them be silent.
Wt turn with much pleasure, from these despica-
ble efforts of a disgraced partizanship, to the pro-
ceedings of two Meetings which have been held I
the Cities of Gloucester and Hereford, of which our
Readers will find an account in another part of our
Paper. These too, were Meetings to Address the
Ktso, instigated by those who assume to them-
selves exclusively the title of " Loyal e' but they
were not called in a corner, in a back parlour with
closed doors, in a Parson's closet, or in a watch-box;
they were Public Meetings, convened by the proper
Authorities, and to which all had access. What has
been the consequence ? In the one case, an Ad-
dress to the KINO, full of adulation of Midisters, was
thrown out of doors by a majority of fifty to one, and
another preferred, which contains the severest repro-
bation of their conduct in the late proceedings; and,
in the other, the " Loyal" Address could not be car-
ried, because it wanted a similar accompaniment.
It is unnecessary to enlarge on these facts. We refer
our Readers to the Reports of the Meetings in ques-
tion, which speak volumes as to the real sentiments
of the vast majority of the British People.

We received at a late hour this forenoon the Paris
Papers of Sunday and Monday. The domestic news
they contain is of no importance. The accounts from
Madrid represent the country as in a state of rapidly
returning tranquillity.
The only additional light which is thrown on the
resolves of the Congress at Troppau, is a demi-official
confirmation of the report that the Sovereigns had
demanded a personal conference with the King of
NAPLES. The place proposed is said to have been
Laybach, the capital of Illyria.

THEFRACAS ATTROPPAH.—PrinceMETTERNICH is
said to have submitted the conduct of Lord STEWART
to the Sovereigns, who enjoined the Prince not to fight.
On this the Emperor of AVSTRIA, it is said, ordered
a courier to be dispatched immediately to London,
with a request that the Englishman might be forth-
with recalled.

We mentioned, a few days ago, a report which was
prevalent in Vienna, that the celebrated Am PACHA
had fled from the fortress of Jannina, and had taken
refuge, with a party of his soldiers, in Sclavonia.—
The following extract of a private letter, which was
received yesterday, referring to this interesting sub-
ject, seems to offer a decided contradiction to that
statement :

" The rebel, Am PACH A, still holds out in his
strong fortress, the citadel of Jannina ; and as he has
within the walls abundance of provision and ammu-
nition, he will probably baffle the efforts of the
Turkish army till the spring, for they are without
cannon, and the snow had fallen upon the Pindus
Mountains before the last accounts came away ; it
will, therefore, be impossible for them to trans-
port it by that route till the month of April, and
even then it will be difficult. An attempt had been
made to land and fit up guns from their shipping in
the Bay of Bucintro, but the enterprize was too much
for the Moslems, and the scheme is for the pre-
sent abandoned. Signor Cot.Lovo, Alt's Chief Se-
cretary, has fallen into the hands of the Turks, and
his head has been taken off. This poor fellow's civi-
lity and attention to English travellers made him a
great favoUrite among them, and his untimely death
will be heard with regret. He had been a Triestine
merchant, was of the Greek Church, and went origi-
nally to Jannina on a mercantile speculation, where
Am persuaded him to enter into his service. He
often expressed his desire to get clear of the tyrant's
fangs, but whenever his wary master sent him on an,
embassy he took his wife and children as hostages,
leaving Signor Co:4.ov° the choice :of having his
family butchered, or returning again to his splendid
bondage. It was on one of these missions that he
was seized by the native Albanians, and delivered
over to the Turks."

Yesterday, Viscount SIDMOUTH had an audience of
his Mmesrit, at his Palace, in Pall-Mall.
The Duke of YORK set out from his residence in
the King's Palace, St. James's, yesterday morning,
accompanied by Mr. Cow NO SMITH, to join a shoot-
ing party at the Earl of Joanne's, in Oxfordshire.
His MAJESTY'S stag-hounds will meet to-morrow
at the Dolphin, near Slough.
Prince LEOPOLD has lately purchased an estate in the
neighbourhood of Claremont, from Dr. ANDERSON,
which is intended to be the future residence of the
Duchess of KEN?. The purchase is said to be about
£15,000. The estate comprises an excellent house,
with 150 acres of land.
WINDSOR, DECEMBER 11.—Her Royal Highness
the Princess AUGUSTA and suite arrived this morning
at Frogmore hom llagshot Park, where she had been
for some time on a visit to the Duchess of GLOUCES-
TER. Her Royal Highness is attended at Frogmore
by Lady MARY TAYLOR.
Extract of a letter from St. Thomas's, dated Oc-
tober 2:—" The piracies which are daily committed
in this direction, are becoming worse and worse : our
trade here, and indeed to any of the neighbouring
islands, is extremely hazardous, let it be under what
flag it may, for there appears to be no respect paid
to any. Notwithstanding the American Gcvernment
has been repeatedly apprised of the shameful depre-
dations committed, they seem to let it pass as an
occurrence of no consequence. In every other sea
we hear of their cruizers, but in tbis quarter, where
they are most required, 'there are none."
