begged to renew his pledge to use his efforts id
favour of Parliamentary Reform.—[Loud cheers].
Mr. BARCLAY next. stepped forward, and said, as
some allosiou'had been made to his conduct, he hoped
he should be indulged with a few observations.—
When he had the honour of being returned to serve
as a Representative of the Borough of Southwark in
Parliament, he candidly said he should pay every atten-
tion to the instructions of his constituents, but that
after he had received those instructions he should re.
fiect within himself, and his actions should be guided
only by the conscientious feelings of his heart.—
[Applause.]—Such had been the course he had pur-
sued in his short political life, and he had no reason
to regret it. With respect to Bonaparte, he denied
that he had been called to the throne of France bf
the voice of 25,000,000 of people; but, on the con-
trary, had been placed in the situation which he held
solely, by a dissatisfied and tumultuous soldiery.—
The conduct of this man heretofore had been such as
to render it prudent to regard him with the utmotit
jealousy. He had been the cause of all the afflictions
by which we had been visited for the last twenty
years, and be apprehended the country would net
wish him to remain in a situation where he would
have an opportunity of renewing those calamities.--•
[Applausel—As to a peace with Bonaparte, he coo-
-1 sidered such a meagre would be perfectly nugs.ory,
viewing, as he did, not alone his public departure from
solemn pledges given, but these declarations which
it was discovered he had made at the very time the
Treaty at Chatillon was going on—namely, " That
be only waited to got rid of the Allies, in order
to renew the war."—[Applautte.]—Sash a man, Ire
i thought, ought not longer to be permitted to diva
turb the peace of Europe. The Howoarable
Member then proceeded to advert to the vote
which he bad given in favour of the Income Tax,
and declared, that he felt himself bound to pursue
that course, from the pledge which he, as well as
every other Member in the Rothe, had given i 3
the Address to the Prince Regeirt, to enable him to
increase oar naval, as well as military force. This
could not be done without supplies ; and he thought
the Income Tax mach less objectionable than any
other which could have been adopted. With re.
spect to Parliamentary Reform, he was fearful much

selves.—[Hisses.]—He was ansious that a Reform
should take place, but he was unwilling to pledge
himself to support the Reform proposed by any par.
ticular party.—[4pplausc.]
Thanks were then voted to Charles Calvert, Esq.
for his renewed pledges, and for the conduct which
he had hitherto paraded in Parliateent.
Thanks were finally voted to the High Bailiff, for
his impartiality in the Chair, and the Meeting broke
up. The following were the Resolutions passed

Two days' French rapers arrived this forenoon,
namely, those of Sunday and Monday last. NA-

dons in this country. On Sunday the Eureston re.
eelvert Deputations from the Electoral College of the
Departlnent of the Seine and Oise, to whom fie cuss-
-lased the serious nature of the crisis in which France

wassgein placed, and declared that though the Go-
vernment Wished for peace it was prepared for war,
and had the beat presages of a successful result to the
war, if it should take place. On Monday a Depu-
tation, of a far more immix: character, paid
homage to the FAIPEROR at the Thuilteries, in the
parsons of fifteen thousand of the inhabitants of the
Fauithotirgs St. Ma►ceau and St. Antoine,- the
two most populous districts of Paris, departments
of the city which we are prepared to hear our
Treisury cotemporaries call the most disorderly,

but into which NAPOLZON was not afraid to ride

on horseback almost unattended. In proof of their
attachment to their Emperor and their country, the
inhabitants of these places, having formed themselves
into a Federative Assembly, entered the city in
procession, making it resound with patriotic
shouts, and defiled before the Emperor in the
Court of the Thuilleries, crying out for arms, and
to be led against the enemies of the national inde-
pendence. To these enthusiastic and patriotic citi-
mins the Emperor was not ashamed to addres him-
self; and his words on this occasion are important.—
The probability of his leaving Paris for the frontier
is distinctly alluded to. He says, " lam tranquil
as to the capital—leaving you with the National
Cards to defend it, I will go with confidence. to
WNW the strangers on our frontiers." Ile thus re-
peats his resolution to await the blow, not to be the
Arst to strike it.

The Island of Corsica has also retorned to its
allegiance to NArotton with the utmost demonstra.
tio•ts of affection. A long account is given of the
re-estahlishntent of the Imperial authority in that
ion mi.

The information en other topics is these Papers
is also of importance, particularly what relates to
Italy, the accounts from which are extremely con-
traditory.
11,it we shall begin with the most curious part of
th • ,witents of the French Papers. This also is not
rri hoot its importance, for it relates to matters of
high political interest. The Moniteur enters at
length into the subject of the letters read by Lord CAS.
TLEREAGH in the house of Commons in justification
of out going to war with MURAT, and which his
Lordship and his toad-eaters thought such solid and
authentic grounds for violating engagements, anti
plunging this country into hostility with the King of
NATLFS and his friends, throned or enthroned.—
The French Papers had before declared these letters
to be vile forgeries ; and the Moniteur of the 14th
affords such evidence in proof of this as we suspect
my Lord CASTLEREAGH, and his supporters, will
find it dill tult to controvert. The exposition of the
secret of these much built. upon Letters is given in
Notes on Lord CASTLEREAGH'S Speech regarding the
conduct of King Joxcutu, and commences u fol-
lows :

A

I.

" A II the pieces cited by Lord Castlereagh are false;
these fabrication are so odious, we may even say, so
impudent, that we cannot conceive that any nisi.
ster can have had recourse to such mesas toluitify
himself; we most, therefore, believe, that be has
been the dupe of an intrigue. But what a Minister
must he be, who can soffer himself to be Imposed on
in such serious matters."
The notes on the letters and papers then follow at
considerable length. The original letters, from which
Lora Castlereagh made extracts, are stated to be of
course at Naples ; but it is promised that they shall
be published at length, and that Lord Cestlanagh and
his garbled documents will be covered with confu-
sion.
The Notes finish thus:..-" We area authorised to
