I.osr.ox, Oct. 30 We lay "before cur readers", this day, ah ample'account of the proceeding! which took place yesterday at Norwich, where the Norfolk county meeting was held, pursuant to a requisition, signed by the duke of Nor folk, and other Noblemen and gcirdcmcn. The space which Wc have been anxious to devote to the meeting itself,"must neccssa- ' rilv circumscribe our comments upon it.— To our gbeat surprise, his grace the (hike of Norfolk was not there himself. No cause was assigned for his absence. ■ The mcet- ihg was not numerous; scarcely three thous and persons being present. Lord A Ibcmarle opened the business ih a speech, which ve hemently. insisted upon “a revolution being at hand.” AVc agree with his lordship, that such a calamity does threaten Us; and we think it would inevitably happen, if the coun srl- of Whigs were implicitly followed at this crisis. Both parties, however, seem agreed as to the main fact, and the only point of difference relates to the means ttiat should be employed to save the constitution. Our opinion of what they should be, we need not noW reiterate. A Loyal Protest or counter declaration, against the meeting, signed by the Lord Ijeufetyuil of the county, lord Oxford, lord Wodetiouse, John Wodchousetsq. &c. was very properly put forth. In this declaration, they deprecate, as Englishmen ought, a pre judiced crimination of individuals, whose conduct is to be decided upon by the legal tribunals of tire country. They further de clare, that they feel it their duty to “with hold’thetr support from such a meeting, more particularly as it may beccmc the means of increasing, <vl the present mo- llicnt, the spirit of insubordination, already too prevalent, and of weakening that respect and attachment which the people of this country have always felt lor the constituted authorities of the realm’.” Meeting of the, Hadicels at Finthnry Market Place.—Every thing that can he learnt of the proceedings of those desperate and deluded men, the adherents ofThistle- wbod, Watson and Preston, lead a >n* to be lieve, that utdess very closely watched or powerfully restrained, they will on Monday next produce some serious disturbance.— Since their quarrel with Hun*, they have determined, we hear, to'dis card his flag and cockr.dc, which are red, and to assume a new one, which will be green and rohite. Their arrangements ibr the Meeting in Finsbury-Market r.re said to be on a large scale. The following has been communi cated to us as an outline. The assemblage will not conic together pfomiscuo.nsly, as has been usual with the Reform Meetings in the metropolis; but they will proceed to the place of rendezvous in regular divis ions, under their respective leaders. It is ascertained that 20 stand of colours are pre pared for the oc casion; and that tlieir divis ions will march in the following order, viz.-— One division from Tower-htll: one ditto from Smithfleid; on ditto from Spaficlds; one ditto from the Bottom of Holbohi; two do from Palace-yard, Westminster; two ditto from the Obelisk, West minster-road; one ditto from the Shepherd and Shepherdess Fields; and the las: front Northamplon- sqnarc. These madmen have openly and repeat edly avowed their intention of going urnud to their meetings: and it is well ascertained (hat some of them have secretly furnished themselves with arms for tliat purpose.

We have receivedhroin Morocco some’ official details respecting the .revolution, of which that’Empire has bees for some months’the theatre” whatever. Many Jew* are settled here, who pretend to possess the monument of Joad, the contempbraiy of David. In tion had fondly Mattered themselves, they of Morocco is surrounded with high moun tains, and extremely populous; it enjored fnp'tAwnrfil tho 1778, when Sidi-Mobamlned, father of the present Emperor was crossing its frontier mountains, he was attacked by the inhab itants ofGlava.his Ministers were made prisoners,andhis treasure, which was ontJie point of falling into the hands of the re bels, was carried of into Europe, by a Jew, who was a Minister, and who never, re turned.—The Emperor justly irritated, .immediately, assembled.his forces andjaid waste the Province Of tilava, against which" he carried on the war until his death. In the month of June of the present, rear, as the Imperial Prince, Mouley Ibra him was crossing theie mountains on. his route to Tafilet, being about two hears march a-head of his army he .was attack ed during the night by the mountaineers, who seized his. treasure, made prisoners two ladies of his court, and mortal!y woun ded the Prince himselfii The Emperor, who was not for oft", owed his own escape from the brigands, to the fidelity of a voting Jew, named David Ren Midland, a Pay master of Fez, who rtspatchcd a courier to inform him of the danger to which he was exposed. The imperial Prince died of his wounds on the follow ing day. " Indignant as well as afflicted at- this daring crime, the Emperor assembled an army, which he divitled into three corps, one “of which was directed to tlvh tirfttiit of Tafilet, in order to take the rebels in flank; the other marched on Seratali; and the third, led by the Monarch in person, proceeded direct to Gl.avt). The inarches were so well concerted that the three op- eration sflccded at .the same time and in the most complete manner. They scour ed the route even to tlie town ot Qlava, blowing up the rocks which it.was ne.ces- siry they should pass. Four hunih-ed irouritaineer's joined the Imperial army. There were amongst them ten armed Jews who on being brought before the Emperor declarctl to him that they had been forc ed. by their superiors to take tip arms. —'Hie Emperor who owns his life to a Jew, and. who has. been two years married to a Jewses, ordered his soldiers to bring before him all the individuals of this sect that might fall into their hands, at the same time pronussing them a reward of filly ducats for each". A great number were .in consequence brought before him. On the 20th June, the Emperor entered the town of Glava, and gave to each of the above ten Jews, a corps of a thousand soldiers, in order that they might seek and save all the inhabitants of tlieir religion who wt're dfsperesed in the country,’ and oppressed by the Glavians. At the same time lie ordered that the eyes of the pri soners of war should be put out anti to effect this^peration, the victors made use of their ramrods. The rebels were fur ther condemned to subsist upon alms for the remainder of tlieir lives. Tlie Imperial army made considerable booty in gold and silver; they seized cat tle to the value of three million of pia stres, autl eight thousaud horses of ^-eat beauty. The Glavians on flying to the mount ains for refuge left behind them the wo men- who were conducted prisoners to Tafilet. The wives and children of the Jews, on the contrary were escorted to Mec- quinez, the residence of the Empejor) there orders were issued to furnish them with every necessary, at the cxpence of the imperial Treasury. • This victory has “been celebrated in .Morocco, and in all the towns of the Em pire, in tlie most magnificent manner; the Etnperor, however deejily deplores the less of his cherished eldest son to whom he was desirous of bequeathing his crown. The conspiracy uf the Glavians is at tributed to a nephew of the Etnperor, who aspired to the throne and, who appears to have exciteil the rebels to open tumult. The proof of this was discovered amongst the papers of the deceased Prince Impe rial, who had uut denounced it tohis fa ther, . Intelligence from Corfu states, that a very violent shock of an earthquake was feft in that island on the night of the 4th nit. whefli set church bells a ringing, and damaged several buildings, to tlie great alarm of the inhabitants who consider it as connected with an irruption either of mount Vesuvius or Etna", which they ex pect to-hear had taken place. A Manheiio journal says, “A report * wort of side trtnd to blow opea the doop of negotiation, a door which our administn- prcvails that the. opening of the special commission at Mentz is adjoined.” The price of board lias again tallcn in the capital. According to tlje ordinance of the polfte, posted up yesterday in Paris, the loaf of the 4ib, will Be now sold at 60s p jd)"mstead of 65c. From the Baltimore Morning Chronicle, 29th III*. We observe by an article in aNcw-York paper, that a letter has been received from Dor. Onis, in that city, stating, that although the; treaty with Spain, had not received tlie royal sanction, still tliat it would. From tlie last accounts, Don Onis dries not appear to possess the confidence of his sovereign—he holds no' public office—he Jives in retirement. His opinion we con ceive, therefore, entitled tono more weight than that of any other private individuals— But what ground has’theDc-?T for his asser tion, that tlie treaty will be signed, or of what avail' wifitld it be, if it should be-sign ed at this period? Wecpnfcss at once,that we have no sure data on which we can pro- cecd, but a serious preliminary question re mains to be disposed of, whether our gov ernment would at this late, period, accept of a ratification cn the part of his catholic majesty. Thctime allotted for his catholic majesty’s' signature, was stipulated infithe treaty .itself) which has already expired. Our government, if report spqakstrue, ex tended this period to nine days longer,‘and |L ——-- - , _ , , • that teim lias also expired without the sanc- Tiic Province" of Glava, in £ne Empire’ tion of his catholic majesty, and now it seems MnrewffA is cninviiin<l<ul L * . ■ - v •_<! i!l i * r ik. had barred up forever—ajdoor that has been so long swinging and flapping to the wind, that the,hinges are almost wot# out. We do not pretend to have aiiy .acquaintance with the mysteries of our cabinet; but we will venture an Opinion, that the president himself, would trptub'e at the thought of an other Spanish explanation. We shall have Spanish remonstrances and explanations by the yard, 1 *.7 diplomatic notes, requiring explanation and comment, and the answer for whi;h the minislermust wait for further instructions from fis court, before he is qualified to give. It is we think evidently the policy of the Spanish monarch to gain time in the hope and belief that he will be eventually enabled to make some of his bro ther sovereigns in Europe, parties in his quarrel. For this purpose, and with*this view, he would instruct his minister at Wa shington, under the pretext of demanding an explanation on certain collateral points, to spin out the thread of negotiation fine as the filaments of A rachne. Wc feel an honorable confidence, that the freedom of of our remark wilt not be inter preted into a rcflletion upon those gentle men. who have given publicity to the intel ligence; they did not in fact give any opin ion of their own, they merely stated a fact without comment Rut seriously, what col- latcrial points connected with the ratifica tion of the treaty can there be remaining, not embraced in the vohnnnious communi cations of Don Onis? Is it one that our go vernment should, in case that the treaty is ratified, pledge itself not to acknowledge the independence of one, or of all the South American republics? This would indeed be a collateral! point) that our administra tion wifl.fecl itself bound to avoid. Is one of these points the immense, session made by Ferdinand to his subjects, of lands in Florida: all this matter was embraced in tint correspondence of Don Onis. The discus sion itself is meant, if a door for explanation still remains open to be a collateral poin t: tlie Spanish court mean to amuse our gov ernment by a distussion which will con sume much time, until they can embroil some other European ]»iwcr in the contro versy, to which this discussion itself will prove as above remarked, only c collateral point.. After this desirable object is obtain ed, they will have no more voluminous cor respondence; but will say with as much bre- victy as John Q. Adams ever did, we will not ratifv (in any terms. We once kacw a lawyer who was engag ed as counsel in a cause, wlnih he .desired the postponement of until the next day, on aceountof the absence of a material witness: the court rejected the motion, and he resolv ed to talk down the sun, without touching the merits of his case.. For this purpose, lie rcadall the papers) which were very vo- lu nfiious, whether relevant or irrelevant .to the points ft issue. lie then took up his law book.", and read thy longest cases he could find, arguments, pleading and all. At length the court discovered the rays of the sum gleaming upon the clouds of the west, and interrupting the countil, informed him that the hour cTadjournment had arrived.— With much sang frt'ld the counsel then ad dressed the jury and remarked, gentlemen! the cases I have read are all good law, and may be serviceable tc you hereafter, hut they tire nothing to the preterit case. The Spanish ministry, in imitation of tlii? prece dent, arc only endeavoring wc believe to nc- gociale down the cun, and we seriously ques tion, whether our administration would dare to open the door for explanation. Our se cretary of state, wc will venture to say, wili be on this subject as testy, and as irrita ble as a hornet; his note will be as short, and it will have all the pungency of tlie sting of that insect. that» minister is to be sent over from the Spanish court, to demand explanation on for|MTenl tentlirie* the rlosi entire" free- certain collateral point? connected witfi.tiie atm? and w^g-not soqjecVto anjp tax Florida treaty.

A Kingston, (Jam.! paper of the 18lh Octo- tober, contains a long and Circumstantial account of another disgraceful defeat of the patriot Gen. M’Gregor, by the Spaniards. It appears that he soiled from Aux Catcs on the 2?tli Sept, with the transport brig Lovely^dma, the sehuo- nere. imelia, and cutter Alert, having on board 250 men. ■ On the 3d of November they arrived off fiio de la Haclic, on the Spanish Maine.—The troops wcre.Ianded under tlie cover of night, a- bout two miles from tlie town, where the) wait, ed for some time, expecting M’Gregorto land thcriv on;, but nudin£ that he did not moke his appearance, they attae.kcd the town, and carri ed it; not, however, without suffering severely. They remained’ in possession until the llib, when the Inhabitant;!, reinforced by a strong body of Indians from the interior, attacked tlie invaders'and compelled thenvto Jfi.aU dircc* tioris. Ofthe whole number who. landed; 27 on ly regained the l.ovely-Aiina, and thev were itiostly wounded with arrows tfc. used by the Indians. . • Abbut an hour before the attack, Margregor put bis baggage in n canoe, aid advised Col- Erve, whom he left ashore in'a very weak state, to send his wife i nd children on board the home ly.

AFFAIRS WITH SPAIM From the various tatters received by the Hornet from Cadiz, coin* of which are writ ten by men high in Spanish confidence, it not authority, it is reduced to a certainty.that the treaty with Spain is not ratified; tliat the negotiation between Mr. Forsyth and tlie Spanish-secretary of state, has terminated; and that a Spanish n,'mister may shortly be ex pected tomake the necessary explana tions to our government,on the subject It is understood in the court circles of Swaih) 1 and wc presume correctly, that the difficul ty arises out of the large grants ol land which had been nVide, and which grants our government refuse tckcchnowledge as valid.—V. T. Mcr. Adv. 30th ult. The 2000 citizens of Ncw-York, who entered into resolutions and an address on the Missouri question, ate somewhat unfor tunate in.their exposition of.tfie.. Constitu tion. In the 1st place, they mistake the meaning of the word “migration,” when they say “the right to prevent the migra tion of slaves rests upon the same basis with the right to prevent their importation.". Slaves do not migrate—that is a volunta ry act, which is done only by free people. The word “migration” was never intended, to apply to slaves—liiit it applied only to for eigners who migrated to this country, (se« debate on 'ho Alien law.) In the 2d place, whatever powers Congress had over their territories, they had not the same, power over the States. This is an authority not conceded by the constitution, (for aught that wc can see,) and is therefore reserved. This Constitution gives .Congress the pow er to dispose of and make all needfuf rules and regulations respecting the territory or other property belonging to the U. State*; but where is this power as tc the etatn?— Is there not an essential difference between a territory and a slate? ., Some say, that Congress is to “guarantee to every state a republican form of govern ment,” and, therefore, slavery ought to be prohibited. But is congress less bgl'.hd to guarantee a republican form to any state, because it holds slaves? Did they too vio late the Constitution when they admitted the slave-holding state of Louisiana into the federal Union? >. Gentlemen, forbear! Beware how you urge Congress to sow the seeds of discord in the bosohrof the citizens of Missouri; to interfere with a treaty or with the ConatSu-. tion—and to brecd.contcntion between tho"’ different states.—Rich mend Jing. 3d .inst.
