COUNTY OF ROXBURGH MEi77IVG.

A Meeting of the Noblemen, Gentlemen, Free-
holders, Commissioners of Supply, and ~1-leritors of
the County of Roxburgh, Was held in the Town-Hall,
• Jedburgh, on Monday, the 13th inst. to take into
consideration the present state or the Country: .
Mr. Rontaitediiti rose, and moved a Resolution
for a Loyal Address.
The Earl of MINTO seconded the Resolution:
Sir ALEXANDER Dow, M.P. in submitting an Ad-
dress to the consideration of the Meeting, begged to
state, that he most humbly concurred in the semi-
bents which had fallen from the Honourable Gen-
tleman who spoke first, and with the Noble Lord
who followed, as to the County of Roxburgh being
yet quite free from disturbance or disaffection of any
kind, and that those disgraceful publications met
With no encouragement in this part of the kingdom;
a fetv individuals, however, went about in the most
shameful mariner, making violent harangues to large
multitudes, whereby many were led away by their
specious words, which dealt out di to and infamy
on the heads of those who had acted frrim the purest
of motives, and were doubtless honourable men,
and who had performed their Magisterial ditties
in the way they conceived circumstances warranted.
But, as their conduct Would be brought before the
proper tribunal, it was most injurious to the Public
that a few men should go about traducing their cha-
racters, in the present stage of the business: Those
r=s whom the law, from its leniency, bad al-
, to traverse to a distant period, bad thereby
kept the discussion open as a subject to harangue
upon ; it might be termed whore, as it was the never-
failing burden of their song. Sir Alexander. then
read the proposed Address, which was in the spirit
of the 4ervations he had made.
The Earl of MINTo objected to a clause in the
Address Which mentioned the " indecent insolence"
of that Who prejudged the affair of the. Magistrates
of Manchester. His Lordship thought these words
Were too strong, and he was afraid that we were
doing ourselves what we were 'condemning in others,
who did no more than what was a constitutional
Eight, when they called for Meetings to consider the
Manchester question : that was a part of the Consti-
tutional Rights of the People, and it had been the
practice for them to do so for almost beyond the
memory of man. Many tried Patriots and real Friends
to the Government, and many good men, were di-
vided about the judiciousness of the proceedings that
took place on the 16th of August. There was not a
more honourable man, a greater friend to his country,
or a More tried patriot, than the Earl Fittwilliam ;
he had been proved so on many occasions; in all the
times of turbulence, and active „spread of revolu-
Urinary principles during the,French Revolution, his
Lordship stood the firm, staunch friend of the Con-
stitution, and had ever proved himself favourable to
it i why, then; pass any censure on him, or any man
whd acted from the purest Motives ? Even the Meet-
ings whith had taken place in various parts did no
More than call for inquiry; and he conceived that
that inquiry would place the Magistrates in a more
favourable light than the one in which they were at
present viewed : but he begged to submit an Address
framed by himself, Whicli contained all the expres-
sions of loyalty, and referred to the state of the coun-
try, as elfaarly as that of Sir Alerancior Don, with:.
out alluding to the opinions Concerning the acts of
those who were, doubtless, as real friends to their
Sovereign, as those with whom they differed in opi-
nion with regard to those transactions:
His Lordship then read his Addres, when Sir. A
Dow rose in explanation, and stated, that he had not
the least intention to convey the most indirect censurC
on those who doubtless acted from motives most pure,
but against those who went about making as it were
a' trade of haranguing tolarge multitudes, with in-
flammatory speeches, condemning the conduct of
those Gentlemen who did no more perhaps than was
their duty against those who use every means to pro-
duce revolution and anarchy in the Country, and
nuking these unfortunate transactions a theme to
flame and stir up the People to violence ; he did not
intend, nor did he ever suppose, that this clause
Would be viewed, by any one as alluding to Lord
Fitzwilliam, or any other man who acted from
similar motives, but to those who only-act in a consti
tutional manner for a cloak to designs of a deeper die.
Lord MIWTo observed, that many might see this
clause who would not see the explanation, and he
should wish that both should go together ; but as the
Address he had laid before the Meeting contained all
that Was requisite, without the offensive, he thought
it should be adopted: .
After a few words fiat IfeAwnzasox, and an&
ther Gentleman, in favour of Lord MINTO'S Address,
and Mr. CHistiotmr., of Chisholme, in favour of Sir
A. Dom 's; the Meeting divided, and Sir A. Dow's was
adopted by a considerable majority, as the sense of
the Meeting:

An endeavntit his been made to tonvene a Meet-
ing of the County of Kent, but abandoned, in conse-
quence of several of the Nobility and Gentry refusing
to sign the Requisition:
Meetings of the Merchants and Manufacturers of
Wolverhampton have been held, at which it was re-
solved to establish a Chamber of Commerce, and to
memorialize the Lords Commissioners of the Trea-
sury, on the subject of a commercial intercourse with
France.
A Meeting was held in Dublin, on Tuesday last,
MICIAZL Hoonsa, Esq. in the Chair, " to consider
of the propriety, of petitioning the Legislature for a
total repeal of the Laws restricting the Constitutional
Rights of the Catholics of Ireland." Resolutions to
the above effect were put seriatim, and unanimously
adopted. It was also further agreed, that the Peti-
tions should be entrusted to the care of the Duke of
LIINSTER and the Right Honourable W. C. PtoN-
Karr. 'lt was observed by Mr, Mecm, that it was'
not, in the most remote manner, intended to imply a
want of confidence in the Earl of DoNouostasoaß
and the Right Ifonciiirable HENRY GRATTAN; oa the
contrary, their invariable, steadfast, and powerful ad-
vocacy were viewed with the deepest sense of grati-
tude; but the present being a Parochial Petition, the
alteration had been made, in order 'not to interfere
with the presebtation, liy thiise distinguished cha-
racters, of the General Petition from the Catholic
Body at large.

fordshire and Derbyshire), have marcled off (after
being inspected by Doctor DENT, appointed. for this

their respective places of abode.
Tuesday last, the Western Squadron of Kitting-
hanishire Yeomanry Cavalry, composed of the Wol-

the high gratification that was afforded him by the •
steady and soldier-like appearance' of the hien, .and
the brilliancy with which they performed the new
sword exert:ises and their several evolutienk.
The party of Artillery, with the two field pieces,
which it *as stated were on their road to Newcastle,
arrived there on Satin-day, the 13th instant. They
marched in great Military form, escorted by the
Grenadier Company of the 40th Foot, through the

By the last accounts from Antigua, we learn.that
that fine old distinguished Corps, the sth Foot, under
the command of Colonel Cotisoo, have been per-
fectly healthy since their arrival in that country.=
The Regiment lately gave a grand ball and supper
to the General Officers and Staff, and all the princi-
pal people in the island. The 9th Regiment, in the
other islands, are also healthy. It is stated, that the "
period for those excellent Regiments to remain will
not exceed three years. Detachments for those Corps
are likely to sail for the West Indies before the winter
is over. Many Officers are waiting at the depots to
embark. Major-General MAINWARING arrived at
Cowes, preparatory to his sailing for Antigua, on the
17th instant:

COUGHS.—To those who would take warning in time
of the fatal consequences to which neglected and '
treated Coughs so frequently lead, we would earnestly recom-
mend, at the present trying season of the year, an early perus-
of that excellent little Treatise on Coughs, by Dr. WU.USM 1.
Baonux (dedicated to his Royal Highness the Panes Roximr),
—ft will be found to contain one of the most clear and univer-
sally intelligible accounts ever yet published, of the various
cause, of Coughs, and the most certain means of cure, founded
on a long and attentive observation of this class of human mala-
dies, Including the results of many years attendance on the Lon-
don and Westminster Hospitals, and enriched with some va.
luable formula, which are not to be found in the London Phar-
macopalas, and have been hitherto only used by foreign Phy.
sicians, of whose experience die Author has had peculiar oppor-
tunities of availing himself, dating very extensive travels through
every part of the Continent,—Printed for the Author, Grep
Cesemsatreet, Brunswick-squire : Published and sold by SDI
frocer,.Nzair, and JONES, Paternoster-row; CALLOW, Princes..
street, Soho; and all other Booksellers, price La. 6d.
It is a curious circutnstance, that Brut should
only share his own Capitals, but also sell parts
those of other Office-keepers; yet strange as it may
appear, it is nevertheless true, as his Agent at Liver,
root. being short of Shares, and there not being
ficient time to write.to London for more, he bought
some of Mr. WEBB'S Agent, one of which was •
£20,000 Prize in the present Lottery; and4he Agent
.at EDINBURGH, being also out of Shares, bought -
few, and one of those was another Prize of £20,000;
which clearly demonstrates that. Binu is not only
lucky himself an an Office-keeper, but his Agents
lucky also; and we trust they will give a good _
count of the Six Prizes of £20,000 now in the Wheel,
Two of which must be drawn in the First Five
nutes, Next day of Drawing, 9th of Next Moath..,
We recollect last time there were (as nose)
1.:(20,000 Prizes, Btsu sold Three of them ALL
SHARES,. and they were distributed over all parts
the United Kingdom.
