erica'''. transfer? Disaffection spread itself all over
Europe. A set of Monarchs were ready to take advan-
tage of every disturbance, and to the disgrace of Eng-
land, she took a part in enslaving and degrading man
itind—(Applanse.) There was not a real lover of libert)
in Europe, and America, who did not know that Env
land had used her efforts to continue legitimacy where-
,ever it was estahlished. It was true, it bad been arid,
that we were bound to observe a strict neutrality be-
tween Kings and their people; but let that pretended
' neutrality of Ministers he contrasted with the Papers in
their pay. Did they not daily see the Ministerial Prints
defending the atrocities of the oppressors, whilst they
vilified the struggles of the oppressed ? Hail not every
Gentleman seen in those Papers the Greeks vilified, whilst
the brutal and barbarous Turks weredefended? On curb a
-object to feel indifferent was a crime. flood God, to hear
Eurlishmen, the heirs of liberty, endeavour to vilify the
and' ,whilsi titer defeoded and shielded the trent,: It
was a degeneracy that he did not expert ts find in the leo-
som ofany man in this country. The great vice of our boly
rulers is, that they possess no love of liberty—in every
instance they have 'hewn a contempt for the feelings of
the people—they hare taken every opportunity of extend-
ing the influence of the Crown—they knew that Inge
ence to be necessary for them —their's is a Uogernitm;
of patronage, and the rights of the people would die-
Nib it. Therefore it is, that they characterise Reform-
ers as anarchists; that they oppose Reform, however in
unison with the principles of the Revolution. It had
been said, that representation could not be in proportion
to the population ; he did not say that it should, hot be
did say that the Representation ought not to he in
inverse ratio to the population. One county ought not
to return 44 members, while the county of Lancashire
only returned 14. There then was a blot. Mr. Canning
had said, that wb there we, a blot, he was ready
to remove it. Let the Right Hon. Gentleman remove
that. Where corruption brought on legal animadver-
sion, Members were willing to remove it; but where the
law did not reach it, then it had its fell share of their
panegyric, though as notorious as in the other case.—
This reminded him of the Spartans, who encouraged
the thief who eluded observation, hut punished the blun-
dering rogue, who had the oral-address to allow himself
to he detected. One of Mr. Catinisg's objections to Re-
form was, that it would create a discordance betsieen
that house and the Lords; that both Houses went on
very well, nut they would be disunited. Met did not
the discordance exist at present ? The Commons decided
that the Roman Catholics should be emancipated, while
the Lords as peremptorily decided that they should not:
Possibly a t:ilfereutly constituted House of Commons,
would at once put an end to the difficulty; hot, said the
Right Hun. Gentleman, the influenee of the Crown is
felt in the Commons, and it is not felt in the Lords. The
Noble Lord (Grosvenor) and his friends were not in-
fluenced by the Crown, ,tit he was sere they would not
venture to say that other Noble Lords went not. Was
there no Peer in Parliament who considered the ma-
tore of his vine, and the effect it might have upon his
interests? The influence of the Crown was felt in the
Common', hut a great advantage of Reform was, that it
would reduce the influence of the Crown, not only in
the Commons, hut it& the Lords also, lie did not mesa
to oay that even the best part of our Representatives
were totally free from the influence of the Crown. He
was snare that the Representatives of large counties
had also an eye to patronage and to the interest of their
families. I t was to remedy that evil that Reform was ne-
cessary. it was for that that they proposed the reduc-
tion of unnecessary offices and of every unnecessary
expellee. The redaction of every unnecessary office
tended to reduce the influence of the Crown, and to is
crease the independence of Parliament. A great portion
of the middle classes—he believed the most virtuous itif
ali—persons wino were every day becoming more intel-
hgert were left unrepresented. Common justice, as well
as the tranquillity of the country respired that these
persons should have the rights of citizens. Reform
might be pot off front time to time until at length a Re.
torn:, not in itself reasonahle, would be introduced. If
the present system were slimied to go on, a convulsion,
he feared, wouhl ensue; the reign of patronage and hunt-
bur t have an cud. It was, be said, a shame— a
great blot on the Constitution—that the most industri-
ous orders of society should be denied the privilege
which was in fact the most necessary and the most desir-
able to free minds.
Tire CO.ll:lm.ts then gave—" Sir Banbury, and the
Reformers of Sulfolk."—Applanse.
The next toast was—" Our Worthy Independent
High Wicksterl"—bnod applause.
Mr. WICKSTID returned thanks; be should always
feel proud of deserving the epithets bestowed on him by
the Noble Chairman.
The only Holy Alliance—that of People and Rulers."
—Loudsppplatirc.

Tit. PIiC.SIDENT nett gave—" Mr. Williams, member
for Limn.ln, and the Independence of the English Bar."
( applause o bir.6 followed this toast lasted for seve-
ral minutes.) Silence having been st length obtained,
Mr. WI I.l.lasts rose to return thanks, The Noble
Lord having been pleased to propose his health as con-
nected with another subject, lie rose with great anxiety,
ivadequately, but sinceiely, to express his thanks fur
the very cordial manner in which the toast was received.
At that late hour it became bun to be as short as possi-
e. Ile would wish to say a few words on a subject
whids had been touched upon that evening, but cer-
taistly not exhausted. He felt convinced that if there
ever existed a reason for forming the present Club, there
o now existed powerful reasonr its continuance, for
there Wall nothing in oar aMmestic relations or foreign
polities which esseld allow any delay in giving their best
attention to public sifairs, and in bringing to the situa-
tion whatever of independence they still possessed. A
conspiracy was raging, be wished be could say it was
confined to the continent, to silence all dismisses°, and
pot an end to inquiry—(Applause).—lt had been truly
read by their worthy Secretary, that great changes hail
taken place in the Constitution—unfortunately, not for
the better. It was their peculiar duty, if possible, to
see restored their violates! rights. The Constitution,
after all, was but a Constitution upon paper, unless its
principles were carried into effect. It lied been said by
Mr. Burke, that the must refined and delicate part of
tha Constitution was, that it brought to the surface men
whom the people loved anal confided in ; if this ever was
go, it is now as a tale that seas told for the last fifty years
—the system operated in quite a different war—it ope-
rated as a hindrance, a Lan, and exclusion. The Hon.
Gentleman next adverted to the p t state of our mi-
litary establishment—an establishment which io time of
peace had nu example since the Revolution. How dif-
ferret was the policy pursued at that period of the Eng-
lish freedom, when Willltun himself was obliged to dis-
miss his Dutch Guard, because the keeping up of these
guards was held to be offensive to the feelings and dan-1
gerous to the liberties of Englishmen. In 1750, when
our military establishment consisted of 10,001.1 men,
there were violent complaints against the maintenance
oleo large a body of troops. Whit would the people of
those days say if they saw the present terrific military
power? He complained not only of the amount of that
force but of the fatal ostentation of bringing them for-
ward upon every real or pretended occasion, to the ex-
clusion of the Civil power.—(Load Cheers.)—ln no
one instance, save one, bad there been really an ap-
pearance of the necessity of calling them out. The
exception was that of the Spafields riots, or should he
call it rebellion ?—when two gentlemen Mr. Alderman
Wood and Mr. Shaw, put down that rebellion, seized
the whole insignia of war—their arms, baggage, and
ammunition, without even the assistance of a Deputy

Constable, or a Quarter-master's guard.—(A Isoth.)—
The whole was due to the conduct of Sir. Aidernisi
Wood (the then Lord Mayor.) 'the use of the military
ens offered by Lord Sidmouth, bat he had the virtue,
the muting's, and the patriotism to refuse it. This in-
stance was sufficient to prove the sufficiency of the Civil
power, and the anxiety of the Ministers to employ the
military. Tk. I-ka. and Learned Gentians° next al-
lotted to the state of OUT foreign relations, and lamented
that England, once distinguished for holding ont her
hand to assist the distressed—now appeared indifferent
and unmoved. Not the brutal outrage of the Turk ex
cited their indignation, nor the cries of the Christian
Greeks, struggling to • once more the liberties of
that Mud a lush must he ever dear to the patriot and
this scholar. Not all this could induce England to raise
her hand or her voice. She remained inactive—or if she
moved, it was in hostility to the popular cause. Was it to
be supposed that the English of the present day were
more profligate than those of former times—that the,'
heedlessly and without cause cast out of their hands the
gifts of fortune, and the advantages of character? Were
this so, he might exclaim—
" /Etas majerum, peJor avis, tulit,
Nos necriores, sox denims,
Progentem vitiosiorem."
But no man could suppose this—the feet was, that the
good sense and good feeling of the people had not been
sufficiently brought to bear upon those mighty and inte-
resting occasions. If be were asked, by what MMUS be
would give a different tone to the country, be would
fearlessly answer, in despite of the ridiesie which the
large or the little Red Lion weight he supposed to
(brow upon hint, by effecting a Reform of the Perlin-
ment. —(Applanse.)—The Right Hon. Gentlemen (Mr.
Canning) in a speech of which they had heard so much,
seemed to consider that which he called public opinion,
formed a sufficient con oterpoise to the alarming and In-
creasing intinence of the Crown. But if public opinion
operated, he and his colleagues would not be in office
half an hour. What had public opinion been able to
do? Did it punish Ministers for acts of gross corrup-
tion? Was it able to prevail en the King to tern out
Ministers for' their most mirecalons and unheard of
persecution of the Queen.—(Cheers.)—No—they ad-
vised their master to proceed in that persecution, even
at the hazard of the monarchy.—(Cheers.)—They ee-
qnitted the Queen by the pressure of public opinion he
allowed, hot then they kept their mate. He did not ob-
ject to public opinion out of doors, but he wished for the
ancient. homely, constitutional mode of having it ex-
pressed in Parliament by men elected, not by ISO or
200 persons, hut by the greet body of the people.—
(Applanse.)—The lion. and Learned Gentleman con-
cluded his speech, of which a want of space has prevent-
ed ns from giving mere than an outline, by proposing
the following toast:—
"In spite of the Congress of Verona, the cense of
Liberty allover the World.," which was drank with ap-
plause.
The President did not retire till near ose o'clock—
shortly after which the meeting broke no.

more ships of war might be sent to that quarter; as the,

there was not necessary.
Accounts from Rio tie Jsaeiro to the 13th of August,
received on Saturday, clearly establish the important
fact. that Brasil has finally shaken off its dependence on
Portugal. A decree has been issued by the Prince Re-
gent, in which he declares as enemies all Portuguese
troops sent to Brasil, from whatever motive that mesa-,
sore may have originated, unless his approbation and
consent have previously been obtained. He calls on the
people, if they shall dare to land in Brazil, to oppose
them es maw. He further orders, that if, notwith-
standing such resistance, they shall succeed in setting
foot on the shores of Brazil, that the inhabitants of the'
place in which they may lead shall retire into the inte-
nor, carrying with them all the moveables and provi-
sions they can collect, and, by laving waste the country, I
deprive them of the means of subsistence. The Prince'
has also published a Manifesto, in which he enters into
a long and able justification of his conduct. On the 3d
of August the Minister of State at Rio de Janeiro cob-
vened a meeting of the principal merchants for the pur-
pose of effecting a Loan. The sum required was 460,000
milreas, which was soon subscribed. Several of the
British merchants have taken shares in this loan, which
is to pay 6 per rent. interest, and 10 per cent. of the ca-
pital is to be redeemed annually. Many of the Euro-
' peso Portuguese had also subscribed.
We are informed that the patronage of the Borough
of Bodmin has been transferred by the Noble Lord who
has so long enjoyed it.to the Lord Warden of the Stan-
Darns. and we are assured that the Noble Marvin is
expected shortly to pay a visit to Iris new friends at that
place in order to be elected Recorder, and take the oaths
required by law on Isis appointment to that importast
office. We dare say the Corporation and Freemen have
been fully satisfied that the change will not have any
Injurious effect on their collective or individuel interests.

listen to their demands. In Nature of things, though
nothing absolutely riotous has taken place, our local
Magistrates have issued se I hundred *onsets fur
caption of those refractory keel:nen who were bound to
their employers till next Christmas, but who hate now
absented themselves from work. Numbers, is conse-
queue', have wandered from their Isomer, though seve-
ral have been arrested and committed to prison. The
Magistrates are notch occupied this morning with the
business in question. I regret, however, lam unable to
state that there is a decided appearance of an amicable
arrangement being COM* to. It is tree that those keel-
men who ply above the Bridge, in the employment of
M . Gamma Deem & Co. Meow*. Porrse &
Le. were disposed to return to their work, but were de-
terred by a large body of their brethren from below
Bridge, who appeared among them this morning at an
early hour, for the express purpose of preventing them.
In order to protect private property, as well. as to pre-
vent breaches of the peace, parties of Col. Brandling s

have also been assisted by the Third Dragoon Guards, as
well as by the Havensworth Cavalry,cominaosled by the
lien. Captain Liddell, now on duty at Gatesbead.—lt is
much to be wished that this unpleasant state of affairs-
was put an end to, as a very serious daily injury is sue-

who hold out. The Magistrates are doing all they can
'o effect a reconciliation • and it is to be hoped that
some plan will be speedily hit upon to adjust all differ-

Andqrer, Sunday, Oct. 13,
Yesterday evening Mr. COBaIiTT dined at the Ina,
Hart inn, with between forty and fifty farmer, 1.0 F.
planters and others. After the cloth was remnred. Mr.
Conarrr's health was given by the Chairman, Mr. does
KNOWIAB, of Farnham, in Surrey; but before this, tte
company had received a great augmentation of numbers
from the dinner tables at the other inns. The dining
takes place ate late hour, at Ax °oven, during Ireghilt
Fair, because the parties who dine, and who come inn!:
almost all the Western, Southern, and 3lidland counties
are engaged in busioess on the hill, which is three sule;
off, until the day has closed. Before Mr. CORBETT.,
health was given, so many gentlemen had arrived huts
the other inns, that it was Lopossible for awls all to net
admittance into the room, which had the advantage ;.f
being on the groniM floor, but which was by BO anus
capacious. The door being, however, thrown open, :t
the request of the Chairman, the room, as well as t; e
passage leading to it, were filled even to pressing. It 1..
came so hot, that it was absolutely necessary to opts the
street-window, the abutters of which the landlord had
bad to/estee to with great care, possibly from a renewal
of those feelings, which were, a few years hack, inspired
by those dreadful measures, Stowouvo's Circular, the
Poster of Imprioososent Bill, the Manchester Affair, tad
the Six-Acts. The window having been °par& and
air having been obtained, Mr. COBBITT got upon ti e
table, and addressed to the company a rustic harangce,
of which the following is a sketch :

Gentlmmo. I can, by no means think of gratifying
my own desire to address ynu at any length, seeing ti e
very inconvenient and painful position, in 'thigh von ars
placed by want of room; and for which imonsaicare
and pain I am but toe well satisfied nothing that I am
able to submit to you can lie by any means as adepts!'
compens..tion. [The company ha►ing desired him to
proceed, saying that they were very well sheared]
Gentlemen, the manner in which my health has been
proposed to you as a toast, and in which you have ye.
cei►ed the proposition, is a proof, that the course which
I have so long pursued, has been not only the coarse of
utility to my country, as the Chairman io propesiegmy
health has been so good as to observe; bet that it hat
also been, with regard to myself, the cosine of prudence.
I It will not be doubted by almost any one, that, if I hal
pursued an opposite course I might have been wallow*
in ease and luxury, and loaded wit► riches. Ba', Gee-
demon, what are these worth, of what ►alue are dtey,
when compared to these unequivocal marks of approba-
tion, these sincere tokens of respect, from you who,
coming from almost every part of the kingdom, have
now bestowed upon me. There is nothing, is my esti•
motion, or in the estimation of my men worthy of the
name of man; there is nothing which usinistets or
kings can bestow equal to this. Mine, therefon, has
been the coarse of strict prudence, as well as the worse
of integrity and hotter. Ide not like to waste aay ;Lit
of lour time in speaking of myself; but bare jsatice to
others engaged in the same cause, calls on meto twist

ledges to be true and just:for havtitg tendered ad vi ceorlich
if it had boon followed in time, would hart preveeted
all those calamities, the existence of whkh the govern
meat itself must mow most bitterly deplore—gentlemen.
I am satisfied, that millions, nay, that many willies' of
your money, have, is one shape and another, been em-
ployed, first and last, for the preventing of the effect of
those meetings, which are now getting into rota yoga•,
and the truth of which is now acknowledged, without
hesitation, by all but the very foolish or the very wicked.
Hal it beeo to prevent the spread of pestilence or fenders
renter exerfiens could not have been made than were
made to prevent the circulation of those writing*. Ev►ry
creature in authority, from almost the very highest down
to the very lowest, seemed at one time, to have no et►er
business upon the .ace of the earth. There was scarcer
a dirty little corporation in t►e kingdom, whet did 24 t
afford encouragement to some officious knave to hems

and to persecute every one who bad spirit and howl
enough to endeavour to circelate these writings. Yea
know well, Gentlemen, how many families of farmers.
tradesmen, and all connected with agriculture; bow
many of these families, the heads of which thought they
could promise themselves prosperous days, and who tor
r the means of leaving happy families behind thou; ?IA
know well bow many smelt families hare already fare
into a state of embarrassment and decay, and, in he,.
wbo are now upon the very point of entering the
hones. I will not, therefore, detain you by any path u•
lar description of these calamities; le, just cautioning
yea against being again misled by an out-cry against what
has been called dieaffection, I will now give, as the best
return that I can make you, for the compliment that you
have paid me, not vain and senseless flattery, which
would be as unworthy of you as it would he unbecoming
in we, but my plain opinions as to the real dangers that
now menace you, and the false hope. that many glum
still appear to entertain.—The great questions at presto
are whether prices of produce will change one way or
the other, and, if they change, whether they will rise et
fall. My opinion is that they will change, and that they
will not rise; but will fall, and, probably, to a point
much lower than they are at now. Dry as lb./
subject is, and often as I have before dwelt on it 13
various forms and places, the importance of it is
Inch that I cannot refrain from pressing it 04 your at.
tention. It appears to me clear as the sun at etton+LY,
that, when Mr. Patti.'s Bill goes into fell (sifter, the
quantity of gold in the country must be augweatell.—
Beery thing I see and hear convinces me of this. The
gold which will be nee aaaaa y to snake that augmentation,
must corn, from abroad; must come from other adieu,
that being the case, there must be drawn io from circa
lation a quantity of our paper greater than the qoantite
