I know of none which the Reformers have committed, though I know of many that have been committed against them.— But the liberty that can be abridged upon any ex cuse is not deserving of the name; it is a wretched and precarious state of society, and he who can feel himself satisfied under it may be compared to the foolish Grecians, who supposed that they seer: free, inerc•ly because the Romans thought fit to say so,,and by saying so, to add the grossest insult to the most unfeeling oppres.siou. Of one thing, Gentlemen, you may rest assured, that if the enemies of liberty hare the power to abridge it, they will never want an ex cuse for following their own inclination, It is your businesi to prevent them. If they succeed in the at tempt to suppress the Meeting of the People, their object is • accotnplished, and your ruin complete. „heir hostility t o . your r i g h ts has been manifested in many instances. Major Cartwright brought, more than a million of signatures before the House of Com mons, all praying for Parliamentary Reform. Those signatures were obtained raceably and in small num• hers, each paper containing about twenty names. But to this there was an .objection —the number in each was too .small. What was then to be done? . Recoutse was had to Public Meetings—hqt they were too numerous, and the Military was called in.— All this is a proof of the necessity of Reform; in fact, it was never more required than at the present moment, I have examined, with great attention, the Acts of Parliame n t p asse d over the way, and I find that ont of ICS public Acts, there is.not one that has any tendency to ameliorate the concfition• or protect the liberties of the people. I find the same remark is applicable to ano th er c l ass o f measures, called private public Acts. There remains after this but 97 real private Acts, and they are so very private, that I am sure the Public will never re c eiv e t he sma ll est benefit from them—(Applause, and la7,hter).—The only Act which had even an appegranee of taking the public welfare into consideration was that by which a sum of E 50,000 was voted to enable British subjects to transport themselves to Africa, under a burning sun, for the purpose of fighting the jackalls and tigers, of that couutry—tioughter); or where they would have en opportunity of sharing with the Cafftes the remnants of food left by the tigers along the coasts pi different xivera. I feel it my duty —I feel it to be the dtity of this Meeting, to address his Royal Highness the Prince Regent for the purpose of stating our determination not to allow our rights and liberties ro be ir.fringed upon by Ministers, and to assure his Royal Highness that the people are de• termined to be fully, fairly, and freely represented in Parliament—(Cheers).—Having said so much, I shall now proceed to read to you the proposed Address. Mr. Hoerrocsr then read the following Address : To i l ia rtoy4t. Itiewpasi MS PRINCE air.GIN7., 6 ' The humble and dutiful Address of the Electors of 'West minster, assembled in New Palace-yard, on Thurniay, the 2d day of September. 1819. We, the Electors of Westminster, assembled in Palace-yard, in pursuance of public advertisement for that purpose duly made, beg leave to address your Royal Highness in language, such as . we hope it mey become the Citizens of a free State to spa*, and the Chief Magistrate of a powerful though oppressed People to dear. " We luimbly represent to your Royal Highness, that the ac crients which we have received of the recent outrage at Man chester, have impressed us, in common, we believe, with the great majority of our fellow-countrymin, with feelings of shaine, grief, and indignation ; and that we esteem it the more our duty to express thoee feelings on this momentous occasion, because the approbation which the Ministers of your Royal Highness have bestowed on the same events, which have caused our regret and alarm, has affinded us an additional proof of a settled de sign and constant effort, not only to reject the Petitions, but to silence the complaints of the People ; and either by secret art or open violence, to contrive that the voice of truth eliall.never, reach the Throne. " To defeat this unlawful project we inform your Royal }fish ! nese, that in the open day, iu the face and by the command of those appointed to preserve the peace, blood has been spilt— that the innocent have been condemned to solitary confinement, and the laws of England thus notoriously infringed by a Magis tracy either ignorant of those laws, or agitated by false aLums, and inflamed by :ocal jealousies to a wilful violation of their on duty, and the rights uT their fellow-subjects. " We humbly represent to your Royal highness, that so long as the Commons Ilouee of Parliament shall not speak the lan guage of the Commons, the wishes and wants of the People of these Realms can 81,1 y be expressed in their Petitions and Re. monstraeces adopted at their l'ublic Meetings. " That mai Assemblies of the People for the representation of public grievances, and for the discussion of subjects connected with the good governnient and well-In . :big .or the State, have at aft times been a part of the practice of the English Nation, and have been esteemed not 'only legal and constitutional, but abso lutely essential to the preservation of public liberty, and, to that due intercourse between the Crown and the People upon which the security of the one, and the protection of the other, must equally depend. • " 'That upon such right of assemblage and interference on the part of the people, was formed and (minded the title of your Royal Highness's Illustrious llouee to the Throne of these Realms, and upon such right only. " Th at, notwithstanding the progress ót corruption and the increase of Ministerial power, this right of assembling has been, up to this time, respected, and, together with Trial by Jury, has hitherto prevented the total extinction of liberty. " That the pretext of Wreath y which has been charged against the late Meeting at Manchester, inasmuch as the said Meeting was aseembkd to discuss the most legal and effectual means of obtaining a Reform in the Conning/8 House of Parliament, is utterly without four.datfem, either in reason or practice; and that kleetings of the People for the above purpose, have been recommended and publicly approved by more than one Minister of England,witen at the head of his present Majesty's Councils. " That we, therefore, can look upon the late military diaper eion of, and military execution done upon, an assembly of the People at Manchester, called and met together wider the safe guard of known law, end established usage, in no other light than es a direct violation of the rights and liberties of a free Pei,- plc, which we submit to .hour Royal Highness it would have better become your Royal tlighness's Ministers to censure than to approver and we moreover state our sincere belief, that If such vielation of lave be suffered to pass into a precedent, the bruited Monarchy, which is the' Constitutional Government fo these Realms, will be hereafter converted into a despotism, found ed on the power, aed maintained only by the terror, of the sword. " net we, therefore, esteem it our imperious duty, and that of all Englishmen, to remonstrate solemnly against the establish ment of such a precedent ; and we are willing to hope, that this, our Remonstrance, backed, as we trust it ss ill be, by the ex. pressed sentiments of our countrenties in other parts of Great Britain, will be a sufficient resistance to, aid prevent the repo . union of, the said wicked attempt to destroy the free Cons titto e 'don of Calle Kingdoms. And we do also humbly recoromailt *and coussat, your Royal Highness to direct ids elajeayie Law Oflieers to prosecute the authors, actors, and abettors, of the late murders and cruel aesaults committed at Manchester, that his Majesty's subjects may, to their great satisfaction and the alleyiug of discontents, find they are governed bra Prince who sympathises with the feelings of his people, and considers their i. juries his own. ',Va venture ba.;.:51 , 1 to assure your Royal 'Lemon that al- HMO evil counsellor, and false Mends may propose to year Royal Highness to confide, not in the affections of the people, but in that large army, now, as we think, unco.:stitutionally arrayed in time of peace; yet vrc his Majesty's affectionate but ftee-born subjects, f ee l t h at we ' have no reason to apprehend, ta a any u ztha more fumy t di h teted, n po r to theshou Eldthiags elichp;!tnvienocneet7 and we accessiontheeareconfident that your R oya l Highness would prefer the lawful and s e c u r e , h dominion over freemen, to the usurped and pre carious, though absolute, controul of slaves. " We seize the occasion of the present dutiful Address, to convey to your Royal Hit:Mess our sincere conviction, that nn military force will, finally, prevail over the people, or stifle their incessant entreaties for that due sh::re in the coutroul over their own affairs, of which the , : I:ave been gradually robbed by the Borough-holden; and th a t a continued refusal on the part pf these shameless usurpers to grant any Reform whatever, can end only In anarchy and blondileid, and in a total destruction of all the present authorities of these realms. " We pr,nuine, thed, being no less attached to your Royal Highness's illustrious House and Person, that to the preserva tion of internal penes, and the recovery of our just rights and liberties, humbly and dutifully to idtreat your Royal Highness to tithe into your consideration the best means by which the Commons House may be so radically and effectually reformed, as to speak the true sense of the People in Parliaments's' a short duration, and thereby to seenre let this Nation, in perpetuity, that comented tranquißity at home, and that importance abreact, which can be obtained in no other way than by the full, free, and fair exercise of the acknowlee:zed right of Englishmen to frame, either in their own persbn, or by their Repritisentativits, those Laws which are to dispose of their properties and regulate their lives." —(Lord and repeated cheer;g.) The 3th Resolution was, That this Address be signed by the Chairman, on behalf of the Meeting, and presented to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent by Sir Francis Burdett, Major Cartwright, aced Mr. Hobhouse—(Lead applause). , This Resolution was carried unanimously. . Mr. THELIVALL next came forward. He expressed his satisfaction at seeing so numerous and respectable a Meeting assembled on this occasien ' • indeed, he was prepared to e x p ect a more , rather than a less nu merous Meeting than fOrmerly,iaconsequence of the late proceedings at Manchester—(Appieuse).—No man acquainted with English history, could suppose that the English spirit was to be put down by the sword or by niassacre—Oppluerso..—Such conduct would only encourage theth to,rise and assert their lights. They were deter Mined to shew that they possessed the firmness of resolution, and the calmness , of decision--they were neither actuated by the panic of terror, or the frenzy of despair—(Loud applause). The voice of the People was heard, and must be obeyed—(ipplause.) Mr. Thel..rall, after observing that all men in the country, save Placemen and Pen sioners and Bcirougnmongers, were Reformers, con cluded by recommending unanimity to the Meeting ; the cause on which they had met was one upon which they could not, or ought not, to have a diffe rence of opinion, hoWever otherwise divided; it may be a questkm of subsequent consideration, what spe cific Reform was necessary? at present that Was nor intended as a subject of discussion.--Elluring this speech, Csa;.it JONES, who had taken his station at the ,bacit,part of the hustings, made several unavail ing efforts to get in front, and when Mr. Thelwall had concluded, he (Mr. Jones) insisted on his tight to be heard; hnt the Miteti o 4zot seeming to acknow ledge hisrigbt.he was to retire.] The following Resolutions were then also put and carried:- 9. That it Is the duty of every friend to his country to assist in procuring redress for those persons who have been illegally maimed, wounded, and Inipsisoncd, in consequence of the Meet ing hi Id on the IGth of last month at Manchester; to afford sues relief as may be necessary to the sufferers and their families, and to bring to punishment the perpetrators of the outrage. ' 10. That a subscription be opened fur the above purposes,ind :that a Committee be appointed, with power to add to their numbers, to carry the intentions of this !fleeting into effect. ' 11. That Mr. Henry Brooks be the Treasurer. After the 12th Resolution had been put, " That the conduct of Henry Hunt, Esq. in the recent stand 'he has. made against the violation of the law in. his own Pelson, and on the behalf of his fellow sufferers,' is such as commands the respect, and ought to re= ceivethe support of his countrymen," ' Mr. Pratt WALitEII rose to addreis the Nfeeting. He said; that he should confine himself , tO die reci al of a few facts, with which, though they woe not en tirely new, it would be proper to refresh the minds of those whom he saw assembled before him. He .should say a few Words with regard to the right of the people to meet in public to discuss public ques.; lions or public grievances: he fully coincided with' the doctrine, which had been just laid down to them .by, then of unquestionable talent, that the right• of meeting for such purposes was an indisputable, an' incontestable;'and an impreScriptible• right—(Hear, *stir.) A number of statutes must be cut into pieces before this tight could be annihilated; nay, be might say, that it depended upon no statutes whatsoever, as it hacl been acknowledged by the Kings of Eng land from times immemorial. With respect to' what had been done at Manchester, it remained to be told' to 'theln, that these was 'great inter 'ruption given by the. 'Magistrates to Mr. Hunt during his examination of the witnesses, on whose evidence he was afterwards committed. For his own part, he could not help saying, that Mr. Hunt' and the other prisoners would now go unfairly to their trial, because the answers of the witnesses against them were not given on the spin, but were now to be studied and given in such a manner as would turn out to the disadvantage of those who were to be arraigned. The worthy Gentleman concluded his speeds by paying a very high compliment to the exertions which the venerable Major had made, in his opinion, in the cause of Reform—(fakeers.) • The CllMittiAll then put the Resolution, which was carried amid the loudest acclamations of the People. It was not merely with three times three, but almost with nine times nine, that this Resolution was hailed. As soon as the name of HENRY HUNT stru' itk on the ears of the multitude, every head was uncovered, and every bat was raked in the air ; and it sorsti some time before sufficient silence could be obtained to read the remainder of the Vote of Thanks, which was thus publicly proposed. ' The nett Resoluant was— u That the Thanks of this Meeting be given to John Cam 4fobliouse, Esq. for his able exertions in bAinlf of the People, 410 for his prompt attendance to their wishes on the present occasion." • It is almost superfluous to say that it was carried amid the loudest acclamations. - Mr. licusitooss again presented himself to the Meeting. Ile had only to return them thanks for the approbation which they had belt kind enough to ex press for the humble efforts which he had made in what he considered to be the cause of freedom. In deed, so persuaded was he that it was the cause of freedom, that neither danger -nor difficulty . could have deterred him from coming forward in defence of it ; so certain was he of the goodness of it, that had he been the only person who had thought it defen sible, still, humble individual as he was, he would have stood up for it alone —(Cheers).—He tag happy to say, that the People had now obtaineTa'sure gua rantee, that thtir yrievances would be retire•sed ; for, thank GOD, we ha.' not 'et an ived at th:tt state of abject degradation described by the Roman-historian, in which we could neither bear the evils of our system, nor the remedies for tbem—(Cireerl.—The People, fortunately, could bear the remedy, and still more, fortunately for them, were determined to 31)14 The worthy Gentleman then proceeded to argue, that it was necessary for them, as men and as Si itons, to check the career of i n j ust i ce w hi c h h ad lately been commenced; they all knew that i.:jus:ice might be committed under the forms of law, and they all like wise knew that no injustice was so horrid as that which was thus exhibited in the garb of jos-dee: it was like drowning a man after he had reiithed the plank on which he had placed his only hopes of safety --(Cheers).--He trusted that the same unanimity would always prevail among them as he saw pre vailing among them at the present moment; and that the same resolution which he saw among them would become prevalent among the other people of Eng land. He then took his leave of the audience as sembled before him. Mir. T. I'. Ctwaxe would not have intruded him self on the present Nleeting, if he had not had such a Resolution as he held in his hand to propose to them. In the present As•embly he wits but a passing stran ger: at another place, and at another time, he should be able, as also more entitled, to express his senti „l/lents on the subjects now under discussion. Stran ger as be was, he could not refuse submitting the simple proposition, which had been placed in his hands, to their consideration, as he had no doubt that,. on its being read, it would excite such applause and approbation as had never yet been excited i t thit of any .other Assembly. lie then put the following Resolution c-- " That the thanks of this Meeting be given to the Chatnpion of the People's tiigiets and Liberti,:s, 'cur excellent Representa tive, Sir Francis Borders, for his public conduct on this, as on every other occasion, when those and liberties Live been assailed?' It was carried amid the loudest acclamations of the multitude. , , [The attention of the Meeting was here attracted by the appearance of an open chariot driving in among the crowd. It was so ni discoirered that it contained his Excellency the Persian Ambassador. The carriage drove up untiiit came directly opposite 'the hustings. ,The moment it. stopped his Excellency directed his attention towards the platform, and twice bowed with great complacency mid good hu- . mour to Sir Frincis Burdett. The Honourable Ba ronet, taking off his hat, returned the compliment by au equally courteous salutation. The bthiness of the Meeting proceeded, and for some time his Excel lency looked around him with mingled wonder and approbation. The applause—the cheering—the wa ;ring of hats—and the clapping of hands, seemed to strike him as singularly novel. After having rc. mained for some time an attentive observer of what passed, his carriage turned round, and as he left the assembly, he was loudly and repeatedly cheered by that part of the Meeting by which he was surround el. The people seemed anxious to express to his Et. cellency the sense they entertained of this friendly though unexpected visit. His- E xc ell enc y ' was alone in the, carriage, and was attended by a footman cnl.-.] Sir FRANCIS BIIIIDETT, in retaining , theor his thanks, hoped that be should never be wanting in the duty which he owed his country. He also trusted that the example which the Electors of Westminster were that day setting to their countrymen, wouldbe productive. of a salutary effect; that the People of England Might once more-be enabled to lay their heads with confidence on their pine** and that tlier might be enabled to meet once rrinte; soon gritict public questions, without fearing death by military! •execution—( Loud cheers).—The indignation which the country at large telt was now sufficient, if pro perly expressed, to force from the Councils of 'his Majesty those Ministers who were daily endangering that respect to the Throne which ought to he man kaiecd and honoured—(Loud deers, and cries of (‘` That's right, give it them , they are undermining it r Before he concluded the few remarks which be had yet to offer them, he could not help expressing his gratification at.seeing the intellect of his countrymen exercised on such le.4bjects as those which they had that day ,met to discuss ; and he firmly anticipated that the firmness with which they had that day come . forward in discharge of their duty, would tend most effectually to the restoration of their rights,' and the re-establishment of such laws as would in future proa test them from all military violence erhatspever— (Loud cheers). The Hon. Baronet concluded with bidding the Meeting farewell, and he retired from the Hustings amidst the ardent and universal plaudits of the crowd. The business of the Meeting being thus over, Sir FRANCIS BURDETT and M;. Honitousa mounted their horses and rude off. Nothing but the rapidity of their speed prevented them from being carried on the shoulders of the multitude, who pressed them On'alt sides, and pursued them as far as the Horse , Gtkarda t filling the air .with their acclamations. After Sir FnaNcts disappeared, the people departed; and wt are happy to state that the Meeting dispersed With: ont the slightest disorder, or even the symptom of a disposition to disorder. Yesterday, a Deputation of seven Gentlemen of the Common Council, waited upon the LORD MAYOR, at the Mansion-house, with a Requisition to his Lord ship to call a Court upon the subject of the late pro ceedings at Manchester.
