By eta Dublin papers, we learn that the disorders oc-

The rumors brought in letters from Paris on Sitar.
day, which occasioned the depressioo of the Fends were
that the Congrese hid broken op by a Declaration br-
ing submitted by the Allied Powers for the signature of
the Duke of Wellington, by which Spais would he re-
quired to adept the French Conetitntion in lieu of that
now existing s that, in the event of the refusal of the
Government of Spain to acquiesce is the demo& mode
by this deelaratios, the French troops, collected es.ibe
Insane. of Spain, should immediately enter the king-
, dom, and, by force of arms, second the wishes of the
' Congress; and tbat the Dake of Wellington, without
hesitation, protested strongly against the adoption of
say such measure, and observed that, as regarded the
British nation, he had received instructions from hie
lioverereest to say that it had determined not to inter-
' fete with the internal meteor Spain, and that whatever
steps 'Sight be taken by the Holy Alliance, this conotry
would act a 'kestrel pan. To promote these impres-
sione the Old Tisneeof this morning, gives among ether
articles, the fullowieg postscript of a letter from Paris,
dated Saturday afternoon, two o'clock:—" I have just
heard that the declaration of Verona is certainly is
town. if, dr Villele was heard this morning to declare
' that be coasidered the King of Spain in such danger as
warranted an effort to protect him. He reported, that
he Word that the present Ministry of Spain wished the
King to ly."
In opposition, however, to all seek tumours, the
Ft/ffr Chronicle of this day says—
. We can received positive tameness from a quarter
in which we place the greatest ooefidenet, that the
latest possible information from Verona completely sea-
tradicti the rumours in circulation ea Saturday. 4loallyl
thing, we understand, is going on with the most pant
harespay, and there willies no interference with Spelt
on the part of any power whatever. The reports clone'
with Frame are, therefore, altogether Gana,. The
Duke of Wellington will leave Verona in three or four
days, and the Emperors of Russia and Austria towards
the end of the month. The tormer is to be at St. Pe-
terabargh by the .90th of December. , j

DINNER Al-7-11EADINt1,111111"
Oh Saturday, the Rh inst. Mr.Cosearr dined, sun
ably to notitioatione with the Fanners at Reedior, ,1

wasexpected to he, very numerous. The market is a
large market, aad is attended by great number. of ay..'

upon this occasion. As many as could possibly dim is

where joined the company, or rather crowded tie

'the bosinees was at au rood. As soon as the cloth inv
removed, the Chairman, Mr. illumine, gave the Kiss,
bealth,obeerfring at the same time, that it was not ice
tended that there should in on this day, any hove-
stratioos upon the giving of toasts more than mph sty

ing and shouting should not be given into.—Mier
this, the same gentleman gave Mr. Connerr's Lea y,
Observing, that he was here for the purpose of /king
instruction to the company; and that he hoped thry
would profit from it. The health having been honk,
Mr. Conasrr addressed the company for about w beer;
and, of course, that which we here give is to be looked
upon as a sketch of this address.

means so gradual, ■nd at the same time so mysterious,
that it was impossible for any fernier, without actually
ceasing to be a farmer ; it was impossible for etch a
person to cpme at a knowledge of the subject. Whit,
for instance, were the farmers to know about Cash-pay-
ments? The far greater part of the active farmer• of
the present day were mere lads when the Bank tird
ceased to pay in cult. How are they to expert thew
lams to be rendered worthless by nay regulati.Sas

once found its oat into their minds. And besides, :orild
it ever ruler into the heart of man to cognitive that any
government would ere:. make each changes, would ever
pass such I ties, as would of necessity prodstce the ring
of the cultivators of the land? Nevertheless, though I

wise. The lowering of rent twenty, thirty, forty.
fifty, or eves eighty or ninety per mt., is doing
nothing. If prices be the same now as they were
in the year 1790; and if taxes, whkh were thee thir-
teen millions are now sixty millions, hew is it possible
that there can be any thing left for rent. This fact alone
as to the amount of the taxes, would convince say other
government upon the face of the earth of the i mpossibi•
lily of proceeding in the present cause, without linger-
ing on in estate of general ruin and confosiortGeotlemen,
the mortification that we feel upon the present occasion
is not at all diminished when we redone en the source of
the great error into which the government has been led.
If great nobleman of England; if some person
bighio reputeas a statesman; if some person well known
to the country, and of high reputation se a public speaker
or man of talent : if upon the authority of some such
person as this, the government had believed that a re-
turn to cash payments would causes fall in prices of no
more then four soil a half per cent.; that is to say, a
deduction of about 2..3d. from the price of a Soutb-dowe
ewe: if from such a source the error bad proceeded.
there would blushers some apology fur having adopted
it; but, whim we reflect that this error, this mighty
mischief, has no better source than that of Ur. Ricardo;
whin we look round us and see the thoesands of fami-
lies, that were bat the other day in a state of opulence.
with the fairest prospects of respectable and happy life
before these.; when we see these therms& af fauges
plunged, all of a sudden, into a state of hopelessness a

tells his bearers that they themselves bore the power to
effect their owe deliverance. This I now tell you; but
thee, this is not to be done, without as exertion of that
sort of spirit. which animates a man when he feels for
his country as well as fur himself. You know gentle-
men that I allude to that Reform of the Parliament for
which many of us have been so long praying in vain,
but which, I am happy to see, is now likely to be taken
ep by those whom the eery bitterest foes of the rause
will hardly accuse of a wish to overthrow property. Upon
the best authority. I have to inform you, that the Commit-
tee formed some time ago in the county of York by Mr.
Fawkes bee recently met to the City of York; that it
has been joined voluntarily by several gentlemen from
different parts of that coanty ; that a requisition has bees
drawn op to be sent to the several districts of the coun-
ty for signatures; that the Committee is le wrest again
at York early la January to receive back the signed re-
quisition; and that it is then to proceed with the re-
quisition to the High Sheriff of the county ; that the re-
quisitioa is to tall a meeting expressly fur the purpose
of petitioning for a Reform of the Parliament; and that
it is reputed to be signed by tea thousand freeholders.
If all the counties follow the example of this great

Mr. Ricardo, together with those who have the con-

school, tell us, that taxes smoothing to the farmer; for

pert observations shout the outgoing being paid by en

and make them shut up their mouths. There wan a

country gentlemen sit quiet whiles mere dealer in maw

However, an end to scenes like these must come, in one
way or another. It is not for ever that the country Is•
to be amused by pretty speeches about the burdens fall
leg upon the consumer, and I most see, before I can pos-
sibly believe, that a whole country of landlords and fan
mers will carry their patience to the extent of being beg-
gars. There is one thing more, gentlemen, which I must
mention, trespasser as I already am upon your patience;
I mean, the project first openly promulgated in Hemp-,
shire, of squeezing something out of the Itsbosrer to
make up fur the drain occasioned by the other calls,
upon the farmer. This project is st once so wicked and
so foolish; so full of inhumanity, injustice and baseness.
that it is hard to speak to it in language proportioned to
its demerits. Leaving, however, out of the question.
every quality but that of its foolishness, let me ask, what
eau surpass this. You know it is impouible; bet sup-
pose it were possible, to reduce the labourers to eat and
drink only one-half of what they now eat sod drink. What
would be the first consequence of that? Here would be al-
most eight millions of the people swimming-or:1y one-half
of that which they now consume; here would be a great
decline in the demand for farm-produce, and s
consequent further depression of price; so that, the re-
telt would be, the farmer would have withheld from
his customer the labourer, money which would bare
been laid out in his own produce, lied that money would
be given to the Landlord, the Parson, the Place:nen, the
Pensioner, and others, to be spent, probably, in Italy or
France.—gentlemen, might not the labourer, when you
call upon him to bring down his wages to the standard
of 17110; might he not tell you to bring down his taxes,
his p.d of beer, to the taxes of 17911? Hut might he not.
mid would I net, if I were a labourer, say to my master,
have you brought down the placemen, have you brought
down the pensioners, bare you brought, down the sol-1
diers, to the standard of 790?1 The common soldier
now, without wife or child, to maintain, has higher
wages than you give me fur toiling all the day, and be
has clothing, lodging, tiring, and candle, into the bar-
gain. Aod will you grind In. down to 4 very skeleton,
while you say not a word about him, though be is paid
in part out of your produce and out of my labour? To
such a question I am not aware what answer could be
given. And, gentlemen, let me put it seriously to you,
whether any thing was ever more unjust, than that those
salaries, which were raised some years ago expressly at

After a short time had elapsed, Mr. Consarr, rising
to bid the company good night, rid, " In rising to wish
you good sight. gentlemen, I beg leave to make an
observation or two, upon a subject which, though it may
seem somewhat foreign from that which has called us
ether, is, nevertheless, very closely consented with it.
hat a, spectacle does England exhibit to foreign or
lions? It is Dot long since we were told, that the late
wars had covered us with glory, and given us a station
prouder than we ever before filled. At this moment we
have an Ambassador at the Congress of the Holy Al-
liance; that is to say, at a Congress of the Sovereigns of
the nations of the continent, ur of their ambassadere. It
is very well known, that the object of that Congress
was, to devise trans for potting down what is called the
revohattem lo Spelt); wad we &retold, and great merit is
gives to our Ministers for their conduct, that soy gm

deemed to be a merit in our Ministers that they bar

for as than the revolution in Spain. By all the mesas
is our power; not eicepting those of direct interference,
we ought to bate remind that revolution. It was the
effectual way eff nitiettring Spain from France for over.
And, with all thew truths folly impressed upon oar
minds, what do we behold ? We behold a French army
stationed at the very foot of the Pyrenees, under a nick-
name, which is &subject of ridicule even with the French
themselves; we behold a French army, stationed there
to fewest tile diameters against the aew floverameot ;
to give eacoaragemeat to those vagaboads called the
army of the (alibi to destroy ear friends in that country;
and, finally, when the proposition is made to us,
whoa the impudent and insolent proposition is made to
us, to assist in the invasion of Spam, and is delivering
it over to our old and implacable enemies the House of
Bourbon, merit is gives to oar Ministers that they have
gamed heir assent! Rehm their assent to what? To
dbo making of Spain a mere province of France, and
Ito delivering up to her the Spanish Fleet, the Spanish
Ports and the keys of the Mediterranean ! And, do
observe, lisotlemen, bow the mighty are fades, do °b-
eams to what a state of degradation we have come, when
not to commit this act of dire hostility to England;
when not to lay the sure foundation of her fall, is
dressed a merit in an English Ministry! Gentlemen, in
speaking of the erste of this revolution in the English
mind, we come back to that Reform of the Parliament,
which is the one thing needful for all our calamities.—
When rather, before a time, since England was England
that the sight of a French army avowedly prepared and
marched to the foot of the Pyrenaeea for the purpose of
interfering in the affairs of Spain ; when wu there he-
fore a time, when each as army could have reached
that sper.witbout the French beholding an English Fleet
io the Bay of Biscay ? It is impossible that the Minis-
ters should not view the thing in the light that I du.
Virriag it in that light, they cannot but wish that it
wirers so. They root but view the conduct of the
French Government with indignation. They cannot
avoid seeing that %heartily of which I have so frequent-
ly spoken. is, in fact, an army marched against Eng-
land,anJ intended to put the Spanish fleet into the hands
of France. What then has used. them so silent ? What
has made them so humble ? The cause of all, fiend.-
men, is that Debt, and that Head-Weight, which, like a
doable mill-stone hung about our necks, is dragging us
down into that state, from which we shall emerge
without a Reform of the House of Commons.—With this
load upon the nation, how is the Uoveroment to go to
wart bow is it to talk or to think of war ? To go to
war; to make eves the beginning of a war, would de-
mand twenty millions a year of additional tares and
con we, who are absolutely plunged in ruin up to our
very chins by the fill millions of taxes, pay au additional
XO millions of taxes? It is manifest that very torte re-
ductions are now necessary to prevent the total aliena-
tion of the estates. flow, then, are twenty million of
taxes more to be paid ? To go to war with Gold
payments is, therefore, absolutely impossible. To return
to the paper is downright bankruptcy and confusion.—
This is the state in which the Uovernmenkie placed.
Of this the Holy Gentlemen are as well informed as we
are; and therefore it would cause in me no very great
surprise, it the Bourbons, unable to obtain the ascent of
our Ministers, were to invade Spain without it! The
result then is, that we must rid ourselves of these iota-
lends!. burdens, and must again have a government that'
shall dare, not only to talk of war, but to make war, if
it be arc sssssss 'lO rid ourselves of these burdens with.
ont a iteforot of the Pediatrist. I deem to be u.terly
impossible, and therefore, Oentlemen, let use once more
press upon you the necessity of doing every thing in
your power to bring about that reform. With this, in
trunk for the great kiodossityou have shown me, I most
respectfully wish you good night.
