'unease' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'english doctor given tapestry by chaps in street' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'english' could be 'e' (abbreviation as in OED) and 'e' is located in the answer.
'doctor' could be 'me' and 'me' is found in the answer.
'tapestry' could be 'arras' (synonyms) and 'arras' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'of' is the link.
