MEETING OF TIIF. FRIENDS OF RELIGIOUS
LIBERTY.

Yesterday a very respectable Meeting of the Friends
elicit Religion* Liberty was held at the Freema-
soa's Tavern, (treat Queen-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields.
At one o'clock, Major CartwriFlit was proposed by Mr.
17.) der in take the Chair, which was seconded by Mr.
Taylor, of Norwich, and carried unanimously.
The renerible Major opened the business of the day
1.. avery elaTient and argumentative speech, setting
t.r.tii the e311.4e of their present Meeting, and congrata-
tbe riiblic at large on the failure of the Catholic
ILL! which lie represented to be a Bill of Pains and Pe-
-4,l6.calcitlatelt only for the purpose of strengthening
the influence of Ministers.
The Rev. Mr. IlAyes, a Catholic Priest, addressed
the Jleetin.; .:1 slime length ; and from a newspaper he
held,. in hand, read many passages in Counsellor
tolift( Ws letter t t the Catholics of Ireland.
Nr.Wnwixii next spoke, and spewed that liberty of
to4f.nience among Catholics would have been eompletely
Lted, if the late Bill hail passed, as no Catholic Bi-
%hep of Priest could officiate, unless by the consent of
" Admiiiisfration, without being guilty of a miede-
rovanr, and liable to tine and imprisonment. The same
power, it allowed, might henceforth be usurped over the
znemberc of every other religious denomination.
Mr. Si IA SR, Mr. tipecotiv, and some other Gentle-
Len and Resolutions expressive of the feel-
.
of the .Meeting, were put and carried. It is but

LONDON:

THURSDAY RYL?4ING• APRIL 19, 1921.

Paris papers of Monday arrived this morning.
The news from Turkey is not devoid of interest. By
letters bearing date Constantinople, March 10, it ap-
pears that several important and unexpected changes
have recently taken place in the !ittoman Cabinet.
These changes are attributed to various causes, but
the real one has not yet been ascertained. The /1,4,4-
cfnidi, and the 'lnterpreter to the Porte, have been
dismissed.
On the 9th of March a fire broke out at Pera. The
Hotel of the Russian Ambassador, and two neigh-
bouring houses were consumed. A similar accident
took place at Scutari. The Grand Seignor and the
Grand Vizier, repaired in haste to superintend the
plans adopted for extinguishing the fire.
Accounts from the frontiers of Turk..y, dated March
19, state punitively that the insurrectionary move-
ments encrease daily in Moldavia and ‘Vallachis, and
that the Prince Ypsilanti alone reckons already under
his banners not a less number than 30,000 armed
Greeks. The Proclamation of this Prince has had
considerable influence on the winds of the soldiers
and inhabitants.
latesou, AratL l.—On t!'e 29th nit. the day ap-
pointed for taking the oath to the bases of the Consti-
tution, the principal aultotities repaired to various
parts of the City with a numerous train, preceded bf
music, ice. and read a Proclamation to the people re-
lative to the happy event. ATe D.,ton was sung in
all the Churches. A remission of punishment was
granted to all delinquents, except such as were con-
victed of blasphemy, uttering false money, bearing
false witness, murder, incendiarism, and theft.
The ship Vigilant, from St. Michael, entered the port
of Lisbon, having on board the Major of the Madeiras,
bringing despatches to government. nhe constitution
of Portugal had been proclaimed on the first in these
Islands with due solemnity.
MADRID, APRIL 7.—la an extraordinary sitting of
the Cores on the secood instant. M Munoz spoke
indignantly at the conduct of those powers who had
now thrown off ihe mask, and were oppresslng other
nations, extinguishing the liberties of these by the
bayonet. He observed that the measures adopted
against internal enemies ought not to suffice, that ex-
ternal enemies ought also to be repressed. lie con-
cluded by referri ig to Cong.-es% which had been he
said, exclusive's- occupied with the augmentation, and
organisation of the armies. Many other orators
spoke upon the occasion; among the number weie,
M. Romero Alpuente. Mullen de la Rosa, Moreno
Guerra, and Count 4le Toreno : t'e last mentioned was
of opinion that the lioverrment ought to require of
the French Cabinet, and of the three Allied Powers, a
clear and precise answer respecting the recognition of
the present system in Spain.
Paris Papers of Sunday had previously reached
as. The following are the principal articles they

contain :--
PARIS. APRIL Is.—The French Chamber of Deputies
is still engaged in the discussion of the new regnla i
for depriving an orator who should have been twice
called to order of the right of again speaking in the
course of the same sitting. The new Emperor of China
is reported to have died suddenly at Lee-Hon-Col, in Tar-
;au, on the 27th day of the 7th Moon (September
The suddenness of his death created suspicions of his
having been poisoned. His brother was immediately
proclaimed Emperor.
By private accounts which have reached us from Pied-
mont, it appears that at the moment of the passage of
the Tesino by the Austrians, 4,000 or 5,000 Pieilmontese,
who had assembled on the banks of that river, seemed at
first inclined to defend themselves; but upon learning
that the Austrian army was entering in the name of the
King, Victor Emmanuel, and that the Sardinian troops
li
formed a part of it, they dispersed. The greatest anar-
chy had prevailed among the Piedmontese troops froui
the time of tne departure of Prince Carignan°.
We are assured that a courier has been despatched
from Laybach to Tttrin, with despatches of high impor-
tance. Austria, it is said, does not wish to oppose a
representative constitution in the kingdom of Sardinia,
provided it be conceded by the legitimate King ; but at

ing aecoaat relative to Piedmonts—" The royal Sardi-
nian army, sailer the orders of Coast Latour, eatertd
Verceil oa the 3d. It is marching on Turin, where it
has probably now arrived. With the exception of the
citadels of Turin and Aleasandria, no resistance is ex-
pected on the part of the towns through which the royal I
army may pan. The despatch containing Mir important
news makes no mention of the passage of tbeTesi no, which I
was effected on the 3d by theAnstrian army, and the report
of which was in circulation in Grenoble yesterday. Sa-
voy has received a new guarantee of tranquillity by the

Relative to the affairs of Piedmont, an aconnt dated

channel states, that the Piedmontese infantry pre-
pared to oppose the Austrians *Cr posted is, the high

ment of the 114 ans to charge, the cavalry fled with
such rapidity that they maid not he overtaken. not-
withstanding that they had at their head the first in-
stlgatits of the revolt, the persons who had ehiefiy
cont-ibited to corrupt and seduce the troops. These
men bad so completely and so shamefully lost all self-
possession, that they scarce halted until they arrived
at Turin, nut lelving their soldiers behind them.—

acts of the revolutionisis were dated the 10;11 March :
