LONDON:
TURSORT MINING. JANUARY 21, 18123. ,

TO TatlitostArney OF THE coUrn OP
HERTFORD.

• Kensington, January, 21,11123.
Gorriaaten,—l is two articles, one dated fromitead•
ing on Saturday last, and one dated to Fleet Street yes-
terday, I gave the tree history of what actually passed
at the Meeting of last Friday. In these articles, which
I shall send to be circulated throughout the County,
along with, this, in a cheap form, I give an account of
all that ibis hleeting would see and hear; and, there-
fore, thou* may suffice for such of the Yeomen as were
not present at the Meeting. But certain other things
took place, with regard to me, which even those that
were present at the Meeting could not be informed of.
The trading companies that carry on the London press,
instigated possibly by Messrs. Pattershall and Charlton;
or, if not inetigated by them, making use of their names,
these traditsg companies have represented things in a
false light. It is necessary that the whole country
should know the exact troth ; bat, it Wiser, parties-
lady necessary that you should know IL ",
Mr. Patteshall interrupted me at the Meeting, and
I bade me recollect what passed last Night..-• Upon this,
the trading company that sell a newepaper called the
Old Times, have made this the foundation for saying,
that Pattershall had sent se s challenge the eight
before, and made me crouch to him. The facts are
as follow:—In the evening of Thursday, at the Hotel, I
received a very rude and stupid note from this apparent-
ly very silly man. The note requested me to go to hie
room immediately and to take a witness along with me.
I answered in writing, that I had not the pleasure to
know any thing of Mr. Patteshall ; but that, being in
the Hotel with Mr. Palmer, of Bollitree, we should have
no objection to the honour of a call from Mr. Patteshall
Soon after, appeared a tall deaf man, of the name oi
Thomas, with a message from Patteshall, to this effect,
that be, Patteshall, bad been informed that 1 had
exhibited him and Sir Hangerford Hoskyns in
a contemptible light, and bad compared them to
Noodle and Doodle ;" and that he wanted to
know from we whether that was really the
case. My answer was, " I do not recollect any
•' thing at all about Mr. Patteshall." Thomas appeared
to me to be in liquor, of which he smelt very strong,
and which smell was extremely offensive to me, as I
was obliged to put my face near him to make him hear
we. I have since understood that a sort of shaking
which I perceived in his head might have proceeded
from some bodily ailment; and, therefore, the awkward
appearances about him might not have proceeded from
drinking; though I must say that the whole of the trans-
action bore the appearance of pot valour rather than
any thing else. After he was gone, I observed to Mr.
Palmer that I had never called either of the two by Stly
nick name; on which be observed that I had mentioned
them in an article about the County Meeting; but that
he had seen nothing of the kind mentioned by Thomas.
Thomas re-appeared, in about squatter of an hour with
a paper in his hand, asking we if I would have
any objection to sign it, saying that it con-
tained merely what I bad stated about the
" Noodle and Doodle."—He held out the paper
towards me; I flicked it back with the back of my
hand, and said I will sign nothing ; I know nothing of
Patteshall ; I care nothing about him ; I will do nothing
about him ; and pray go and tell him not to bother me.
There ended the affair with Patteshall ; except that he
aftErwards sent a note to say, that though I bad not
signed the paper, the declaration I bad made, amounted
to the same thing. And this was what Patteshall alluded
to in the Hall, when he said " remember last night.,'
This declaration was: 1 do not recollect ever baviag
called him and Sir Hangerford Hoskyns, Noodle and
Duod/e... The truth is. I never had ; but the Morning
Chronicle had, as I have found, since I came to London.
Now, then, what a precious Tilly man this Patteshall
most 1w! There he is, called Noodle or Doodle, in the
Morning Chronicle. The thing was forgotten. It never
would have been noticed again! but bemuse needs stir it
up, and wake it matter of notoriety all over:the country.
As to Sir Hangerford Iloskyns, he appears to have acted a
very prudent part. Ile said nothing at all about the
matter ; and it is rather hard upon him to be dragged
forth and immortalised in this manner by Patteshall.—
To be sure, when one considers the figure that these
gentlemen made at the Meeting; the speeches they made
there ; the withdrawing of the resolutions by Patteshall.
one cannot be much surprised at the simile made use of
by the Morning Chronicle ; but if the names of Noodle
and Doodle should happen to stick to these gentlemen
for the remainder of their lives, they will bare to thank
fur it tbe rudeness and stupidity of Nutshell, and of his
very suitable messenger Mr. Thomas.
There ends that matter, except that it is sec oo s aa y to
notice that the trading company of the Old Times, who
are entleavouri og to keep their concern on its legs a little
longer by abuse of me; except that it is necessary to no•
tice that this trading company has represented, that
Patetahall made me crouch to him ; when the facto, as
above stated, and for the truth of which, 1 appeal to
Mr. Palmer, show that I treated Patteshall an.! his mes-
senger with suitable disdain. It comes out rather awk•
wardly, too, that the thing, at which this silly mat took

allfence, appeared in the Morale.; Chronicle, and in no
pnblication that I have any thing to dd with. The malice
a my oppOnrots is generally ennspicuons enough ; but
still, their fatly; thee stupidity are still mere consp.
awns ; and these it is, indeed, which mikes me their
master. Wide as are their channels of misrepresentation
and falsehoods ; load as is the clamour which the?
raise; decided as frequently appears their triumph fir
a day or two ; at the end of about ten days, I am alwayi
sure to come off vie torions.

Having done with Mr. Patteshall, I now come t 6
Mr. Charlton, In the next Registors my duty to ttsel
County of Hereford (of which I am a freeholder) wilt
induce me to give you a full report of my own speech
and also that reply which the foul parson. Smithers, and
the foul lawyer, Davis, would have had in the Hall, it
the few blackguards who were stationed below to make
a noise, had not preven'ed my being heard at the time-
Those foul fellows are not to escape thus. They are to
he made to feel the consequence of their meanness and
patroonery ; and this consequence I will take cue that
they shall' feel in a manner much more decided, than
they could possibly have bests made to feel it from
[the reply which they would have received upon the spot.
Bet, now to Mr. CHARLTON, with whom I find fault
not so much for what be.did say, as fur what ha did not
say. I Could observe upon the meanness of the Coalition
hotness* the Whip and the Mates. I could observe
upon the jesuitical contrivance of!Mr. Cws•s. I wild
observe upon It. abandonment of principle, by both
factions, in order to make tip a confusion and to set
aside the decision which they clearly saw the Meeting
had in contemplation. I could observe on the exact si-
milarity between the movements of these factions, in their
petty form at Hereford, and the movements of the same
factions in their grand conclave elsewhere. Quarrel they
will with one another. Hate they will one another. Des-
pise and abhor they will one another. Almost poison
the rivers and the wells to destroy one another, bet
join they will, close as dearest Mends and relations.
when the object is to do that which is hostile to them
bath ; that is to say, that which is good for the
people at large. They are two bands, each of which
wishes to get possession of the good things; and.
therefore, though they bate one another, they will
always join against any one who wishes to put as end
to the good things themselves.
[The subject of this article will be continued to•ntorrow.J

in oar preceding columns will be found copies of the notes
presented to the Spanish Government, by the Ambassadors
of France. and of the Holy Allies, together with the Spanish
Answers. The reply to M. de Villele's communicatioa is
the most detailed and the most temperate. If it says any
thing strong, it is the strength of truth not that of language.
It exposes the grievances of which Spain has had to com-
plain on the part of France, the encouragement given to the
'disaffected sad the firebrands hurled into her provioces,altd
truly says that the first and greatest proof wititllie Fesoch
Oovernment could give of its anxiety to restorbtranquiltity
and order in the Peninsula. would be to remove that Army
of Observelloo, which feeds insurrection and rebellion by
the hope which it holds out to them of ready aid and eo-epe.
ration. Spain then expresses her willingness to correct tilt
defects of her Constitution and system according to her ems
views and wants; but spiritedly refuses to allow the right of
any foreign Power to interfere is her internal affairs. To
the Allied Powers,no direct answer is given; and their notes
are treated with just though bold contempt. Instructions,
however, are sent to the Spanish Ambassadors at their
Courts, in which statements are made in the shape of arti-
cles, which are to be shown, if they think proper, to the M..
such' and their Ministers.

The Paris papers to the 19th, by which the above an.
ewers were brought, contain little else of public import-
ance, but the Dutch paps rs, which have arrived to the
communicate some interesting intelligence of the
views of the Allies respecting Turkey and Greece. The
Allies, it is stated, did not think it adriseable to receive
the Greek Deputies at Verona, as that would affect the
independence and legitimacy of the Parte. It was only
proposed to obtain for them, the free possession of se-
veral parts of the Mores and of some of the islands, lustier
the supremacy of Turkey, and the Congress separated
with an understanding that negociations to attain that ob-
ject would be renewed. The intelligence subsequently
received from Constantinople, however, is said to have
operated a great alteration in the sentiments of certain
Monarchs. It was thought that " if a party had violently
seized on the reins of Government, the Sultan was be-
come merely a tool," and " an active interference in tie
internal affairs of Torkey might he justified, without too
nearly affecting the principle of the ligitiniacy of the
Turkish Emperor."

Council was held there on Sunday evening, attended by
all the Ministers,and at the breaking up, it was repored
that the result was very warlike. We understand that
the party who received this information io the City. bat
made considerable sales of stork. There is also another
report current—that the moment the French Minister
leaves Madrid the Cortes will issue their Manifesto:
and the first plan of their operations will be to assemble
all their regular troops lute one army, and march diret.t

proclaiming young Napoleon Emperor of Franco
