PHILADELPHIA, Jcvx S. Tb United States' frigate Constitution, having; on board Mr. Lbinpton and family, arrived at New York yesterday, Dsspatcbea wers this roorning forwarded to tht city M'aahbvfton. It la supposed that Mr. Iirlngston will not, himself, rroeeed to tht capital for some days.

Mr. Forsyth, Secretary of Starr, haa returned to the city, and taken charge of his department, in the expectation of meeting forthwith the American Minister to France. Aa Livingston's health continues feeble, be will probably take his family ap the North River, to their residenca, distant from the city of New York about CO miles. Having seen them comfortably settled at borne, he snll return to tl city, and proceed to meet the Pimidcnt, II he take this mate, he will not be tn Washington in leas than eight dart from the present date. Until after his arrival, and conference with the Administration, little or nothing will transpire.

I am authorised to form this conclusion from a fact within my knowledge, and which I will now state. On Friday, the a friend of Oeneral Jackson had a long conversation with him on the subject of I rench sffairs. The Ornrral, contrary to his usual habit, waa exceedingly guarded and cautious in his remarks. He wss fire from sll excitement, and avoided hasty or intemperate lan guage. He evaded every attempt to draw from him his opinions and feelings in relation to the last despatches received from France, and which were delivered at the Slate Department the SHh Inst.

He said very coolly, That he would now await the arrival of Mr Idringxton that he would not come to any conclusion, not express any opinion, until after an interrlew with that gentleman and hearing his statement and explanation of the whole ease." This eonversauon msde a strong impression upon the person with whom it wss hehl, and upon my informant, both of whom ate highl) respect able and intelligent. They consHler it as a very lavourablr omen, and believe ll at the President intends tn act, under existing circumstances, with prudence ami discretion they know General Jackson well, aSainowinif him, entertain hopes that he will cast no impediment TnVthe way of an adjustment of the difficulties between KranceSnd the United States I hsve considered it proper to give you thesl facts aid opinions ssgsctoua msn, and the more especially as I do not concur in them. ou will haTe seen that have not, generally, on the subject French affairs, agreed with tl mast of the community and, thus far, I have not been mis taktn Mv opinion as to General Jackson's views and policy it unchanged It hat been, heretofore, fully and ex plicitly detailed Without much learning, andlett reading, the President is a very cunning man Hit present docility 1 attribute to a fixed and settled determination that he will make no advances, or eien efforts, to conciliate or soothe tht angry passions of the 1 rench lit believes thst in refuting an explanation, a hich lie will term an apology, he ill I tupportrd by the American people and in tint particular I it right. He thinkt that the amendment of Valete is calculated to carry the current, in this country, against 1 ranee. ojidr uig himself on the 1 antage ground, he assumes great moderation and forbearance, but hat no such feelings.

II is pride is wounded IVrcp rootedboVituit! and yet agaln.I repeat, il anything but form is demanded from him bv the 1 renc' tiovemmtnt, he will ssskenfrom hit apparent bttlesancts, and forgetting his honied words, he will sound the war trump agaiytt trance, and against all whomay presume to recommend modcrtlit 41 or forbearance. I cannot be mistaken In the character of Jukson. In a former letter I remarked that Mr Lmngston had lost all influence, if ever lie posaeast anv, with the President. Tint it another reason for my helloing that the General moderation it a mere finesse. Mr.

Linngtton'a opinions will hate no weight. Indeed, I consider it more than probable that the tnitter prefers thst his despatches thould tmede an audience. It will afford htoi an otportunity to ascertain what language will be exiected from him and retiring, at Mr Livingston is about to do, to pmate lift, he is anximit to carrr with him into that retirement the goodwill and kind feelings of those who hae bestowed upon hun at least as much official dignity and eclat aa he merits. Mr. Livingston's family formerly possessed great power and influence in the state of New ork.

They were not only wealthy, but some of them were endowed with rare and extraordinary talents. Hut their conaequence hut rspidly declined within the ltat 20 ii ars. Their immense fortunet hsve been distipsted, and the joopgerbranclienf the lamily exhibit no evidence of intellectual endosoienu Ueneial John Armstrarur, yet bving, at tht age of I marrird a IJvtngston wat formerly minister to France Robert Livingston, bmthcr ol Edward, the present minister, held tlie same ttatioa also. Thus, three near rela tives, at different times, have le appointed ministers pleni potentiary to the I ourt of Ftj nee a full thaie, surelj of this description of honours cor fcrred on ism family, undt a republican government, sntulmislv guarding against the approaches of aristocracy. Abo it the year IfflO the xcumary afliiri of Ldsard liivingtton became embarnsar ed.

Hit property wat sold, and be rrmoied his family New Orleartswhere he com menced successfully the praitf ce of the law. II 1 lister was the widow of Genital Montgomery, wlio fell at Queliec About seven years since tie died, snd bequeathed to her brother Edward the pnnciptl part of her property this rendered him in tome measure independent. It is on the estate of the late Mis. Montgomery that he now resides. I believe be haa but one child, a da Jrhtrr, the wife of Mr.

Ilaiton, whom he hat left as Charge d'Affairrs in France. The money market, since my last, hat experienced no vari speculations, both stocks and real estate, have met a tenout cheek. Those st Jit which art considered perfectly secure are rather suffer than heretofore, while the ipeculative stocks hare fallen considerably in 1 net.

Lord IltovotiAM, in opening the business of the meting, begg leave to return his moat sincere thanks for the distinguished honour which they had been pleved to confer on him. In asking him to take the chair on that occash n. He had received a requisition signed by names of th most respectable inhabitants, merchants, tradesmen, an I others, not of either profession In London and Westminster, and he hesitated not one moment to comply with th wishes. He waa not inclined to detain them in the pres nl stage of their impra tant proceedings, because he thould hare another occasion before the meeting closed to address to them a fe observations 1 and as all were well aware of the object that had brought tnem together an object in which, wh it ever some interested panics might have represented to tl contrary, the public had long taken a deep, general, and of late, universal interest, he was sure that no words were reqm tltt from him of a preliminary and introductory charact r. He should make war.

therefore, for those who were about to projiose for their areep anee certain resolutions, which a pearrd to him framed In atpint of perfect moderation, combine I with great accuracy of principle and proper and becoming firmness of Isngusge for the people of an intelligent country to speak, and which, if sanctioned by their approval and adoption, would, rte lelt confident, produce the nappiest tulu for thetr great common caute the cause, he would venture tossy, of knowledge, of public Improvement, of good morals, of correct manners, of Sound principles, of political improvement, and ol every tpecies of advance and in portant progress which it mott interested the people make, and most befitted those who consulted for tie people's good tn assist them In attaining At the head if those who would address them stood one of tht soundest friends of all knowledge, one of the greatest patrontof human Improve ment, one of the moat tned and iralout supporters ot their cause, with whom he had, during now nearly two thirds of century, been always happy in the course of his feeble exer tiont co operate he meant Dr. Btrkbrck, whose very nsme. hsving never mixed with the party politics of the day.stmwed that their present design and purpose was fsr, vn far, removed above all the vulgar contests of faction But though Dr Birkheck, aa well as ther, was the friend of knowledge, and because the friends of knowledge, therefore the enemies of all taxes upon knowledge, it wat nevertheless fsr from him (Lord Bmughsm) to represent that either that dittinguuhed individual, or those others bv whom he was surrounded, were insensible to the pre eminent Importance of me tpecies of knowledge, the most important of any perhaps and that on which thosetaxet pretted the mott cruelly he meant political knowledge, lie mentioned thu only for the purpose of excluding an inference which might otherwise be drawn at if he(IordBrougham)wcreone of those foilnh people who thought it wat all very well for the country to learn every thing except that which it mt concerned them to knowtheir rightt and their duties as citizens (hear heart, and he placed the two wnrdt in that order because Ion experience and much reflection had taught him that the better men knew thetr rightt the better would they perform thetr duties. With these few observations he toox tor ine present his lesve, assured thst as in the course of the meet all iolence.both of language and of be avoided, hrcauae it wat not wanted when men woe in the right snd knew they were in tlie right, to tempersnee and discretion would guide the whole of their conduct, for the purpose, rf 11 were nomore.ofprrventingthepossibilityof their motives being misconstrued by those watchful and somewnat aexterout aa vrrssrlrtof various kinds by whom ther were surrounded Irr. Ittasarcc then came foi ward to move the first reso lution, which wst to the effect, that the prosperity of every community was dependent upon the knowledge diffused amongst its members 1 that newspapers had been justly deemed the instrument of civilization, but that the stamp duty tended to destroy the efficiency of thst instrument, and to perpetuate the evils of moral and political ignorance.

Ilr taid that, having laboured dunng the whole of his life for tht rxtmtive diffusion of knowledge amongst the people, and fot the removal of every obstacle hich teemed to Interfere with its progress through the whole dominion of intellect, however humble, he perhaps thould not be considered presumptuous in submitting for the adoption of the meeting to general ami coniprebentive a resolution as that which he hadtutt read He was happy to say, thst he mott fully and completely coincided In every word which it contained, and he was satisfied il would meet with the approval of all whom he had the honour now to address. It waa superfluous to dwell with emphasis upon a defence of the terms it eontained.for resolution containing more of truth was never submitted toany meeting He did not believe that the change which was sought would detenorste or interfere with any fair and legitimate advantage at present possessed by the newspaper press, but that In accordance with man's appetite for information their butiness would be marvellously increased. No individual, or Government, or people, could be injured by tht extenslou of know, ledge of any kind, and hetroted he should soon see the dav when taxes which had been imposed for other than hscal purposes would be all swept away, and that perfect freedom in irratifving the public appetite tor information would prevail Dr Birkbetk concluded by formally moving the adoption of the resolution Mr III next presented himself, and was most enthuti. uiU tllv ratted. The hon rentlcmsn commenced by ob serving, that It afforded him tincere pleasure to see on tht nresmt occasion so numerous an assemblage of freemen, mil togetler for the puise of boldly and openly demanding those rights to which under the cottitution they were entitled, hut which hail to long hern withheld fnm them He most heartily seconded the resolution which hal mst been proposed.

They hail met this day for the purpos ot attaining such a diffusion of knowledge as wss, calculated to Improve and enlighten man reason and tn raise Mm ahov ih Kniti creation, and by to doing to enable him not on! to estimate his rights, but also properly to dischsrge the dntiet those rightt imposed It wat with that view that he and others had advocated the tioltcy and justice of removmir knowlcdrc It was monstrous to see a country descended from Grrst Bmam aurpaat ber in the meant of information and the general diffution of knowledge amongst itt community He need scarcely tay that he alluded to America, the smsiicst town in wnicn nau more newspapers In rirculstion than hsd the metropolis of this greal empire The people of this country had long been ke 1 inuwuin in order that an oligarchy and corrupt Cour might rule over and oppress them, and it wat now time ft them to Hand lorwaru anu say i nave uuurs imjsise upon ut snd rights to exercise, let us now hsve the best mfor nutton, and bv It be the better enabled to exercite thos rights and perform those duties as citizens in such a man ner at will be nest calculates to improve ine social siai of the community to which we belong." But to return to the ttate of things in this respect which even nom preiailed in America. Ills hon fnend the memlMr for Greenock (Mr Wallace) had produced before the House of ommons the newspaper which he (Mr. Humcj now held in his hand. The hon. gentleman here produced and exhibited to the meeting an unusually large newspaper and thus tro ceded 1 Here wat a sheet double the size even of a double Tirwt (cries of Do nomention Tht Timet which wat published daily in America.

On a question of this kind one fact was worth a thousand argument Thialarse newti tper waa published dady at the price ot Ivf or at an expense irf J10, or 45 per annum, with liberty the tubsenber to insert an advertisement daily throughout the yiar free of ixnse. Instead of I or 7 bein required, as in this country, for a tingle advertisement, 1 1 America it would be pubbthed for 10 cents, or hall a dollar (cheers), and a newtpaer could be arm bv pott to any part of the ttate in which it was pubbthed, comj rising in this instance no Utt thwa miles, at th small exitnse of one farthing. Compared with this sheet, ihe produetiont of Printing house square were asnothing.hr it contained no less than 1,371 advertisements. (At this moment the noise snd confusion outside announced the approach of Mr I'Connrll, a ho took his seat upon the platform amidst loud cheers.) Mr. Hume proceeded.

He was delighted i mtnesi the reception which his hon. and learned fnen I had that day met, for he was satisfied averr little time longt would remove those prejudices from the minds of the people shich hsd been attempted to be raited against their tm Irirnds, who had been bold in asserting truth, fearless in enforcing rights, and determined in their exertions to maintain them. Hit excellent fnend, Daniel O'Connell, had done all this, and as such attempts which would ever fail were made to blacken and detract from the services he had rendered his country He alologized for detaining the meeting to lonif upon a resolution which could not be objected to, and which he now begged conclusion most cordially to recommend to the adoption of the meeting The (haibmav then put the resolution, and all hands were raised In itt favour. The Rev. 3Ir.

Fox then presented himself to propose the second resolution, ss follows Tliat, in the opinion of the present meeting, if any portionof thia tax be retained, a very numerous and Important datswill continue to be depnved tf thst knowledge ol passing tvtnta, without which none can pro perlydischargellitdutiesofLitizcns; and that a mere reduction uf the stamp duty is tithe deprecated as a half measure, which, by lightening the burden, would only fix it the more firmly upon the shoulders of the people, without realizing the benehis that would neccssai lly arise com a total repeal. Dr. IkiwRisi. seconded the resolution. The resolution was then carried unanimously.

A person on the platform here claimed to be beard, aa he to tha Hants tjwA, tuit thanenla and la8ked lord had (Owal tfltrfnalon, and moil cries for Mr. O'Connell.) Mr. Foster amidst tha noise era. sequent open a manifest indispoaition on the part of the aartt hag to hear him, then tvoeeeded to read at length tha petition, which stated, be had been sentenced to two months confinement by Mr. Chambers, the maeiirri', for selling unstamped newspapers, on the rvtdene of two persona wh wst unworthy of credence, and arged the Injustice of Inflicting so neavy a punianment lot that wnicn ought not 10 dc aswucni an offence.

That be bad also solicited Mr. Roebuck and 31 r. Waller to present his petition, bat those gentlemen refused, and it was now In the hands of Sir Samuel WbaUey. He bad applied to the Duke of Richmond and Lord Wham eltffe to lay his petition on the table of the House of Lords, but, of course, being Tories, those noblemen gare bis applica tion toe go by Hit complaints, however, should not Dt bTirked.w (Laughter) TheCHAiBKAX said, he could assure Mr. Foster t'i this was the first he had heard hia petition, but when he went home be would inquire about it.

Mr. FoJTia. I wrote your Lordship a letter to know it you would present it, and that letter remaining unanswered, I concluded you declined to comply with my request. TheCltAiaXAH observed that he had no recollect Ion of the letter, and asked when it had been tent. Mr.

FoiTti wat understood to ssy, one letter be lad written about a fortnight ago, and another on Monday la The Chaibmax said, he feared the answer he at about to give would be anything but satisfactory to Mr. Foster. The number of letters which reached him da.ly, varying from '10 to 100, obliged him to give them precedence in the order in which they were received, ami it waa as much as he, his secretary, and his clerk could to dispose ot them even in that way. He did not doubt, ut that even though this conversaaoa had not ensued, JI' 1 osier would have received an answer to his letter in th courte of the ensuing week. At all eventa, he should give 111 1 attention to the subject, and If Mr Foster affixed a prayer lit his petition, he (1 ord Brougham) would undertake to rrr tent it to the house of Parliament to which he belong ni.

The resolution having been put and carried unanlmousli The Chairmax reminded the meeting, that if he signed the petitions to which they had just agreed aa their chairman, mil, under the forms ot both houses of Parliament they would be received only as the petition of one individual. Now, he waa aware that petitions from him alone would not were signed by the numerous and respectable individuals composing the present meeting, great weight and importance would be attached to them. He had therefore been requested to state that ahects would be for signatures before the meetini; terminated. Mr. O'Coxvell said be felt at a loss what he shoul I tar to compensate those who had the kindness to ris mfest so trrong a disposition to listen to him.

He was. however, one of that stct of politicians that waa deepi persuaded that every amelioration of the social system eoul I he made only in one way, namely, by the force of public pinion; that alterations might be ctlected by means hirer, but improvements could only be brought snout hi the moral ttrrrurth nf combined and infiamed lntell The history of this country proved that fact, especially the I aires which told of the restoration of Charles II ant a hich narrated the Irrannr of Cromwell. The latter, reason of an appeal to brute force, left the country in a worse suue tnan mat in wnicn ne lounu li wiuie iu imuicr, sucking upon the intelligence of the band, had erlected a bloodless chance. So also, so far as hia own expenrme had rone, every amelioration had been produced br tht etiett of enlightened understandings. The meeting would remem bcr.aswcll aa he himtelf a proscription was placed on the man who did not believe in the exact square 1 30 articles when the Protestant Dissenter who threw overheard 1R of ihe 39, snd the Roman Catholic who added about 100 to them, were equally proscribed In their native land; and because they worshipped God in the sincerity of conscientious conviction, they were for that very virtue declared criminals, and proscribed aa tuch in the land which gave them birth.

A change in thia respect had in their own times been brought about, not by an appeal to force, not by the effusion even of a single drop of blood, but by the Improved sense of the commu nity. So also with respect to the great change recently rffectrd by the measure of Parliamentary reform. That irrrat measure had been brought to maturity and rm rienev. not by an array ot contubles or 01 soldiers from the Horse Guards. no sword had been unsheathed.

and no weapon brought forward except the argument, tlie reasoning, and the moral combination of the intellect of the people of Lngland. It teemed to him that this was a uull termon he was frrarhinr. because these tacts were well known to all who heard him. He trust, however, remind them of a few obvious facts, and first be would point st the improvement which mutt result to many of the institutions of the country by such additional information as would neeessanlv be afforded to the people if the press wat free. He would first take the Sovereign on the throne, who.

though irresponsible, became more secure as bis subjects be came more informed, for when men became aware that the safety of their own families depended on tne tuny 01 the throne, doubtless the security of that throne wat increased. Again, in this manufacturing country, in which, though grievances calling for redress existed, let but the people know and understand that one day's insurrection would break up all her interests, and lead to the star ation of of her people, and strict peace and tran quillity would result from tuch information being promulgated. This wat taid to be danferoua ground be. however thought otherwise nay, he firmly believed that the more information was spread, the more tecunty would be afforded the throne, at well aa to the best and most Important in terests of the community. He hesitated not to declare eaaacrdal janfii k.

Mr. R. Wallace, M.P. for Greenock, expressed bit entire coocuxrenct in the object which the meeting bad In view and moved a resolution to the effect, thai a subscription be entered into foe the purpose of defraying the expense, which'also was passed unanimously.

Colonel EtaVI, in moving a rote of thanks tn th noble and learned chairman for his indefatigable exertions in favour of a free press, and for the seal and ability with which he had presided over the present meeting, intimated that it waa his intention shortly to take an opportunity of stating to his constituents the position in which be at present stood, and the course meant to pursue. He trusted that alter that explanaiitn the electors of Westminster would feel that they bad no cause to complain of or dissatisfied with his conduct. The resolution of thanks to the Chairman was then earned by acclamation, with three tune three cheers piouosed by Mr. OOtineU. lxrd BaoccRAM expressed his warmest acknowledg.

merits for the kind reception they had given him: It was indeed the same he had always met among his fellow dtitens of Iondon snd Wetaninster, with whom be had passed so many yean of his life: but upon no occasion had ht ever met them with greater satisfaction than at present, because he had never yet known them, among all the important designs in furtherance of which they had been frUow Iabnurera, engsged in one of superior importance he might almost say of importance equal to that for the promotion of which they had that day assembled. Tbt time would fall him if be attempted to describe the prodigious consequences which ex petted to result to the improvement of mankind from making knowledge cheap and free. Ther bad been labouring for seven or eight yean to diffuse cheap knowledge. among tne ptopie, anu at every turn ana step 01 ineir piug ui they had been defeated by the tax and the stamp. It wa in vain tney toueu 11 wa to no purpose they mad other write it was fruitless to correspond with the nttertnoct end of the earth far the purpose of diffusing what those men wrote, and which they caused at the cheapest rat to printed they were met by the tax gatherer and the stamp collector at each pace they made, at each turn they tried, and over all the powers they could put forth to enlighten the people ther waa thus exercised that control which the powers of darkness had over the children of light not because wiser in their generation, for they were less wise they were fooUah ha their generation, but because ther had the power in their hands, and because, though knowledge waa power, ft was sot force, and its strength came by slow degrees.

But why did ht detain for one moment longer thou who, on coming into that room, were satisfied on the subject Arguments there none required to csnvmee those who were already persuaded information there was none wanted to fill mind which werw already bnm fuD and overflowing with all the Information upon the subject but he rejoiced they bad been addressed by those gentlemen who had preceded him, because those speeches) would encourage and animate, and make them go onward fearless and firm, though temperate in their course, for beyond firmness and beyond temperance nothing was required to procure or them the greatest of victories. But let them not taken in by any man who should talk to them of a partial reduction (hear, bear) don't let them be deluded for one Instant of time by those wbo would offer even two thirds of th tax. If one penny remained (said th noble aad learned lord), I tell rou the necessary consequence will be I cannot send penny knowledge into the country; for that penny must paid to the stamp duty, and ther would remain another penny to be paid, of which the hawkers rook about asw half, and whoa assistance was absolutely necessary before information could reach tbt cottage and the farm.

had been a vender and victim of unstamped papers. The C'iiaixmax said, that at present there waa na question before the meeting, and therefore, for the sake of regularity, the gentleman had better reserve his observations until the next resolution had been moved and seconded, when be should have a bearing. Mr. WAirrtBLD briefly moved the next resolution, That petitions be presented to both Houses of the Legislature, praying for the immediate repeal of the stamp duties on newspapers, and the abolition, at the earliest possible period, of all taxes affecting the diffusion ot knowledge." Mr. Gbotc seconded the rtsolution, and expressed bis hope that the petitions would receive that degree of attention from Parliament which the subject to which they related met 1 ted.

He maintained that the people had an undoubted right to exercises control over the proceedings of the Government of the country, and that giving them information was the best means that could be adopted to insure the useful exercise of that right. The press should not be restrained by taxation, because the public ought to be allowed the free exercise of intelligence. He rejoiced to tee so numerous and enthusiastic a meeting at thaiby which he wat now surrounded, and be trusted that they would not relax their exertion until rtry abuse in the government of th country wa abolished aad especially that great abuse which restrained th comma ideation of of truth and wisdom to thetr fellow men.

Not that he denied (her paramount importance of taking tt off, and making alt knowledge, political a weD a general, cheap and aniversaJJy distributable in towns a well at the country; hut be named the case where It wa most wanted, and most txduded by the pernicious rax which they all so fervently deprecated. He had addressed them thus shortly, because more words would be taper Huout, and be had addressed them hue in the day, because wss anxious that others abould precede bin in ulustrating a subject on which he bad so often expressed his opinions, and to repeatedly Mated his views on which an recently in another olaee. tn the House of Parliament to which he belonged, be had so fully urged and largely enforced a many arguments favour of the only thing they could tiunk of or listen to, or at all suffer he meant the total and absolute repeal of thu obnoxious impost.

He had trat done what was most unusual with him, and certainly very laborious, in having taken the pains of publishing an accurate report of what he taid on that occasion, to that it would be in vain to think of longer occu pying mar nme, most, 11 not au ct tnem, having no doubt read all he bad to say, and much more than was wanted to be said in defence of their great cause. But be rejoiced heartily be bad beard that day from so many mouths that in England, in Ireland, and in Scotland there was but one prevsflbig wish and one universal desire that the food of the mind, the ttaS of virtue, the staff of the better bit of man, should not be burdened by a tax of 200 per when no man durst nam the purpose, directly at least, and in plain downright terms, it imposing a tax of one farthing on the ewt, of that bread by which they had the highest authority for saying man did not alone live. If the bread which they ate to support their natural bfewtre proposed to be taxed to the amount aa be bad said of a farthing in the tn Minister who broached the scandalous proposition durst not hold up his bead. Would not the pre in that eat hit up its voice againtt such a measure And yet, for rtssens best known to itself, because not on that footing on which they all hoped, before many months, to see placed, the press breathed not one whisper of exeeptioa againtt this tax of 200 per cent, apon what he ventured to call the staff of the intellectual, the better, the immortal life of man. The noble and learned lord then shortly referred to the txnst duty of If.

on the pound weight of paper, which thould also come down: but to take it off altogether was another matter he did not certainly for the present recommend that, but 1 know fur said the noble and learned lord, I know it, I may say professionally and at a tradesman, as a prepairr and dealer ht cheap works, a trade to which I am devotedly attached, and which I have carried on riany years of ray life in my capacity of schoolmaster I know for certain that hundreds and thousands of works now altogether prevented from appeanag to the edification, amusement, snd still more the instruction of the peaple in political and general knowledge, and hundreds of others, not new. papers, but other publication, now langwiabing or struggling for existence under the severe pressure of the excise on paper, would, if that duty were diminish by one half, spring into new hfe and spread universally through the eoua tiy, diffusing knowledge and by knowledge difrntdnr virtue. He did not wash to detain them longer, indeed it waa out of hia power, having made arrangements) which required his immediate departure from town, in order to some promises made long ago, but accidentally still one ot two rteejlamc and other bastitutioo of that character in the great and populoua county of lenrai ter he waa glad, however, to bare attended that meeting whea it did take place, because, if postponed for a fortnight, they might then nave been told by the Minister that they were too late, and that the plans of Government were fixed for the present year. Hia opinion on the subnet was very wrong, and he never heard any thing that could convince him ofitserro He would muchrather see the whole of the stamp tax kept on, than 2d. out of the 3d.

repealed because sure he waa, if retained for another year, th role of th cwuncry would spurn all bounds tb desire of th people would fore itself to be beard. Government mast yield to that desire, and Parliament, with the Government, mutt tax offth tax. Bat if 2d. out of the 3d. were remitted, they might bar many yean longer to contend with tb remaining Id, which regarded as at least 3,000 fold won than tb other JtC, because it would snll prevent cheap knowledge from bemg generally diffused.
