A meeting of the Parish of Islington was held yester-
day evening at the Cauonbury Tavern, to consider of an
Address ul Congratulation to the Queen on the aban-
donment of the Bill of Pains and Penalties. The
two gre.it rooms which roninsitnicate by foiling-doors,
were tilled before the business of the Meeting comp
mewed.
At seven o'clock. Mr. SMITII proposed that Captain
Longster should take the Chair, which was unanimonsly
agreed to.
Mr. Swint then addressed the Meeting in a very able
speech, and, after accusing the Churchwardens of a want
of straitforwarilness in their dealing, with respect to the
Requisition, as one of them had at first given him to un-
derstand that the Meeting should be ealleil in regular
form, if the consent of the Vicar could be obtained, lie

TCKSDAT EVENING. incsmaja

By the article inserted yesterday, respecting a
County Meeting at Yurk. it appears that the enlight- '
erred and public-spirited Freeholders of that pepsins
and opulent county, bare determined to maintain con-
sistency with the character they acquired in the year
1779 ; and purpose at the ensuing Meeting, to being
forward the great national question of Parliammmary
Reform. It is highly desirable at such a crisis as the
present, when the public mind is so mach alive to the
circumstances that create the grand distinction between
the sentiments of the people and thoseof theirtepresenta-
tives, that, asone ofour correspondents soma general
expression of public opinion on this important subject
should be immediately obtained. How it is possible
fur intelligent men to reason upon the rrlitical evils
that prevail, without tracing them to tiwir source; or
to bore that by a change of men, the measures uf
Gn-
rernmrnt will be amended, without a Reformation in
its principles, is a solecism we cannot comprehend.
Except from a childish fear of the charge of innova-
tion, ur from the sinister view of profiting by
antiquated corruptions, we can conceive no motive for
resisting the arguments that s• strongly plead for the
necessity and promptitude of a Parliamentary Reform.
On what ground is it that the Whigs are now so luke-
warm, on a subjert whirh, thirty or forty years age.
animated every heart and every speech of those wh.•
aspired to the denomination ? We Lave heard,—bat
nithout direct authority we cannot believe—that the
heads of that party which bad been honoured by this
appellation, are not merely quite indifferent, but
decidedly averse to a Iteform in Parlianseat.--
We hare been told of a certain Nobleman, (who
had been distinguished for his real in this great
cense, and who, were any thorough champ to take
place in his MAJESTT'S councils, 'could be the most
likely to fill tie highest Aire of the State), that when
rerently applied to for the purpose of obtaining the
concurrence of his friends he promoting the work of
Reform. Isis Lordship frankly avowed that, smog,
them, the plan proposed, which was of an eve/mire
kind, would meet, he believed, with no cot:stemma
whatever. His Lordship, further, as ee we in-
formed, declared it to be his opinion that am he

to propose ei en the most moderate scheme that ever
had been suggested, as a condition to the par')'• I"
did not expect he o fluid be joined by half a dozen .4
his friends. Thus sorry are the prospects we :tr
led to form on the niere substitution of Inc parly
for another! It cannot then appear strange, er;rnl
t: a part!• itself, that the Whig+ de not obtain the eon-
Ifidence of a people, Ow mmbjecz of ii ho se hearts tlir
defeat. Rut though en this account the peel& nnY
lure occa•ion to lament, they have uo reason to le
dishes) ed. By perseverance and by peace. their ever-
tions in the important irorh must ultimately be
crowned with success. Instead of rem riving itripilseans
itupressious front those tibia are styled their naterg
leaders, they cannot fail ryes:wally Ity their numbers
and their weight tv runisannicate suggestions and di-
rection to those who counsel and direct the affairs of
State. The Reform the public seek, •ray well be user-

tifcing to individuals who profit by the public
los. But the time is not far distant, when
this truth will be Mani felt and will prevail---that
personal and partial advantages, incompatible with
the puldic good, 'bust he renounced ; and the pr.'s-
resitv of the state Rdvaneed, by consulting and
cherishing the interests of the people at large.

ABSTRACT.

t►bservini by your paper of the b2iitli nit., that an
inhabitant of the Cape of Mod 11ore, has thought
proper to draw the public attention to the Britrh
order in Council, relative to the Commerce of the Cape
of liuud Hope, and of the Island of Mauritius, I ens.
brace this opportunity of stating, for the information
of merchants, that baring myself a great interest in
seeing the commercial intercourse between the
United States and the Mauritius resume its for-
incr activity, I wrote to the Secretary of tl►e Trea-
sury on the 12th of November last, desiring him to
inform me whether, by virtue of the order in council
.111tleil to, American vessels could be cleared for the
Wand of Mauritius, with a certainty of being admitted.
The fo.lowing is an extract of his answer, dated Nov.
13 1 understand the British order in council, to
which you refer, admits into the ports of the Monni.
tins, only the vessels of such foreign states as admit
into shelf pert. British vessels, from the ports of the
Mauritius, on the same terms, and a payment of the
same iliititi as American vessels.' if this be the true
construction of the order, .American vessels are not
admissible into the 'Arts of the Mauritius under that
order, as the l onvention between the two states does
not e%tend to the 31.uritins.

It is thro to Congress that merchants, desirous of
Peeing this important branch of onr trade re-opened,
west apply. (Signed) A Maacn•rT."

A strange laminar is in circulation in Vienna that
a plan has been formed at Troppan for the marriage
of the Imperial Prince of Austria to a Princess of the
Iwo Sicii.es, daughter of the Duke of Calabria. This
is adopted as a means of attaching the heir of the
throne of Naples to the interests of Austria, and thus
removing all differences.
Letters from Vienna contain a report that Ali Pacha

himself up with his treasures, and had taken refuge

The holding of a general European Congress next
Spring, is said to be in contemplation, fur the purpose
of fixing general and common bases for the policy of
the European States. This opinion is 'opposed to he
founded on the 4th Article of the Act of the Congress of
Aix la t hapelle, which states that the contracting
Powers engage to have public meetings to treat in
routmon of:heir interests, and that " immediate affairs
should be discussed especially affecting the interests
of the other States of g 'trope. 'I be meetings in which
such affairs shall be treated of, shall not take place
ec+•ept at the exptess invitation of the States which
they concern, and formally reserving their right to
participate in their difficulty or by their Plenipoten-
tiaries."
ADIMPIit Toyavrca.—This elegant and attractive
little establishment last night produced anther sac•
cessful novelty. An interesting Melo-drats*, entitled,
Zuniuski, was performed for the first time, to as
audience crowded in every part of the house,
even to the lobbies. It possesses great interest, and
is brought out in that style of liberality which so usi-
torudy characterises the managers of this Theatre.
