PEACE MEErISG.-The meeting of Newcastle,
England, upon the Tyne, to protest against the
war between England and Paris, was attended by
a thousand persons, principally of the working
classes. The speaker denied the power Of the In.
dian Board to declare war One speaker remarked
that
"A new treaty had been entered into between
Persia and the United States, which treaty con.
tanned three clauses the first of which was, that
the United States being 4 maritime region, and
Persia not being one, the United States bound
themselves to support Persia against any maritime
attacks whatever SO that war with Persia in
yolved war with the United States"
1t was agreed to by the meeting that a memoiiai
be addressed to the Crown setting forth the facts
of the case stating the usurpation practised upon
the prerogative of her Majesty, aud conveying q
sense of the deep adherence of certain OF hei
subjects assembled in public meeting. alike at the
crime contemplated and the meaus of It's consum
nation, and imploring her Majesty TO stay these
lawless proceedings, to dismiss from her service
the guilty fratners OF them, and to revert to those
Laws and institutions according to which sue Is by
her oath boand to govern-by governing herself
and summouing to her aid her trusty councillors
That in the hopelessuess OF entire prevention OF
redress it is requisite to appeal to the iaws against
the subordinate agents executing lawiess orders
and this meeting pledges itself, in case the expedi
ton against Persia be persevered in, to bring tt
trial lor their lives before the Central Crimina
Court certain of the officers and soldiers epgaget
