" Should you .it this day give your support to
-PRINCE 140201 Am way, in a very short time, Mt./
pert a revival of the days of BLOODY QUEP,S
MARY, when your ancestors were tied-to a staless
gad burnt alive. The active opposers of the present.
Government hare pledged themselves to sanction the
:-Popish Religion, and as BONAPARTI is the bead of
that Religion, your universal cry should be t:
•• NO POPE poN APARTE."
The effect which these publications had was, soon
pereeptible. The universal cry was found by the.
Junto to be hostile to their views. Having thus disk
covered, that they would ndt be able to carry theft
piimt, they determined not to hold the Meeting.
It became .necessary, therefore, to assign some reason
for this to the inhabitants, but as they could not
acknowledge the real one, they suddenly discovered
that a room could not be procured fit for the pdr..
pose ; that the stair-case leading to one was tdcr
leak, and another could not be obtained. It was
rOnsequently announced to the Public) by the fol.
lowing band-bill, issued on, the morning of the der
so which the Meeting was advertised to be held, thus
It was net to take place :

The above notification proved to be too late, The
Requisition had been advertised—the day fixed—bills
had been posted and circulated ; and, by 11 o'clock,
the hour at which the intended Meeting should have
been held, many thousands had assembled in the
market-place, St. Ann's-square, &c. " Previous to
this," says a Correspondent, " they had burst into
and taken possession of the Exchange Now s-room,
as well as the Dining-room. Irritated at the disap-
pointment, they, about one o'clock, exhibited a Act-
ous disposition. This was at first confined to a few
boys, but afterwards appearances became truly alarm-
ing; the furniture of the Dining-room, whore the
meeting should have been held, was thrown from the
window into the street ; the maps, pictures, and other
things belonging to the News-room destroyed; the
valuable wliole-latigth portrait of Cotonei STANLEY)
one of the idemben for this County, was cut in
pieces; the windows completely destroyed; an at.
tempt was then made to set the building on fire, by

Sane ulteratlon took place again yesterday in the

portation
must begin from hence, but• under very
favourable circumstances. It is to be to the amount 1
of five pounds per too for wine, reckoned on the ad-
measurement
of the ship ; and for brandy ten pounds;
per tow.. After the wine aid brandy have been re-
tinned in the vessel carrying out this •proportional-I
, value on her tonnige, they are to be put under the
king's leek, until thg quantity of sugar and coffee
shall have been eiported, .according to the scale al. j
reedy published ; this being done, the brandy and]
wine are at the disposal of the importer,
.the former
for exportation, the latter either for exportatiop or
home consumption.

endeavoured to trace it, to find whether it is true or
not, but without effect. It is said to .have boon
brought over from Deal, but I am inclined to.think•
that there is no truth whatever, in the report.: A• 74--
