Ychrdar at firetve o'clock it soft numerous and refpcSable Meeting of the Freeholders of Middleces,. in the intact! of Sir faineii EdaDiyi, took pace at the Crown and Ant-hor. The nbje& of the Meeting was to Confider of the heft means of bringing the conduet imputed to the Sheriffs. in returning Mr. Masawaliva as Member for Middlefez, before the proper tribunals. By half after 12 the room was literally 'crowded. P. Moo's, Efq. M. P. for toventry, was then 'tins nimoutly called in the Chair, and upon taking it was Calmed with Inn . applaufes. The Honourable Gentleman theti iddreffed the Meeting to the following purport t—;s Gentlemen—l troll that (uch as are acquainted with my conduit in private life, and with my poli tidal character, will do me the jußiee to believe, that I am ever ready to perform my duty; that whenever my friends and fellow fubjetts call for my ferrite's particularly in a cafe that concerns the connitution of our country, I Mall immediately attend to them—l (hall neVer neglect their Cummins [opplosafts.) Upon this (*citron, however. Gentlemen, I thould with that fonfe peefouof wort ability bad flood forward —tome one tom competent to do jußice to the ardour of your feelings, and to give vent to his own. For my part, I declare that my mind is fo loaded with the fubjea. and my feelings are fo much hurt by the iniquity of the tranfaetion which has pro. duced this meeting, that I am incapable of properly fufiaining the duties you have impiled upon me. You ate all, Gentlemen, acquainted with my fen timents refpeeling the caufe for which we Rrtiggled during the late eleetion. and therefore I need not now repeat them. The object for which we are now affembled is intimately connected with that caufe, and imperioufly calls for our utmoft exertion. It is interelling not only to you the Eleßers of Middle fez, but to thofe of every pail of the Empire—to every man who regards freedom and Office through. out the world. To prevent the recurrence. and to pundit the perpetrators of that outrage which has been Jutt committed upon our belt rights, mutt deferable and important to all, particularly on ac - I count of the fources from which it has originated. It has proceeded from the artifice and activity of the Church and the Magifiracy, and from a grofs vio lation of duty on the part of officers, who ought to have purfued a different conduit. Gentlemen, you are all aware of our prefent finis tion—tiyou mutt feel that you have been deceived. de frauded and intuited, and that it is neceffafy to your honour, and your moll valued rights, to leek redrefs. —Your opponent, or more comely (peaking, the tool of your opponents, prefumes to accompany his abufe by an affertion that you are defeated. I beg. Gentlemen, to point your attention to the addrefs of this puppet, in which the abate appears that I allude to. In this addrets, which was not written in the heat of Elettion furimr—not under the influence of thole angry feelings which too generally prevail in Elettion contd.. but fent coolly from the clofet and the cabinet by thofe who dragged him from the ob feurity and infignificance which belt became him. to pats an intuit upon this County by putting him forth as a candidate for its reprefentation. Mr. Mooaa then read the following lines from the advertifement referred to I I magretwete yos.Geotternen. on the victory which you bite atabla me to obtaki Wel a fsetioo a. &irate as It is atter prilloe.a Sense width themes at nothing tomato Its coda, and which is as kfa ISlmleal to the people, whom It Sates, than to Or Thigh salpiri et fide se fakffre.ke. (Signed) o. 2. INAINW,4IIIIIO. Here, Gettlemen, (returned Mr. Moo's) is the kind language pointed again( us by our opponents. This is the efeleription they have drawn of our eita• radar s but let a fair comparifon be made of our re tpeftire purfuits, and the refult will thew to whom the crime thould be attributed of 0 (caking to fub vert the Throne."—l am fore they can have no friends here; but let their (pies, if any are precept, inform them of the contraa I make. The difference between us and our opponents I take to be this : We would fupport the Throne by indenting the Liberty of the People, upon which alone it can ft. cutely reR t—they would fubvert jhe Throne by des Rroying that Liberty altogether tottplardir].—l peat again. Gentlemen, that the Liberty of the Sub jell is the Arong hafts, the principal bulwark of the Throne. We are proud of being fabjeels to the King of a free tountry—oar opponents would con vert him into the degraded character of a Chief of Slaves. We would preferve that Freedom which is the vital principle of our Conilitutiont—the fource and fupport of our national glory—they would make it an offering at the (brine or the tyrants to whom they cringe, to promote the fordid ioterefis which alone they regard [Applaufri.l Theta, Gentlemen, are their objets and what are the inftruments they employ to attain them ?—the Church and the Magiftracy : they had proßituted the fanftity of the Church, and the dignity of the Magifiracy, and beyond all, they had ficriked the willies and fincere hopes of the Electors of Middle lex, to the influence of the rnagifterial commiffion.— The Clergy, he übferved, ought to fiend aloof on all fueh quelliotis they ought to obey the fimple tenets of the religion they profefs ; to maintain and do no thing more than preach the Gofpel; but Co far from Co doing, they had committed, during the late con ceit, various ads unbecoming their character and cloth. but which it was unneceltary to fpecify.—But how have the Magißrates ailed ? They have availed themfelves of the rower which they poffefs with es fpeft to licences to procure obedience to their orders. Thus the authority of that refpeftable office, which was meant to facilitate Office to the people. is per verted to promote views hollile to their bell intereßs. There Magittrates. who thotild be engaged in their cloiets, or at their proper quarters in the perform ance of a laved duty, ate fern bugling and brawl ing at an electron. to forward the objell of thole who are the enemies of the people, to whom they are Appointed to aelminitler the law. Theft Magiftrates arc indeed to he found every where, except where the contlitotion has ordered theta.—[.s plarefir.] The qui:llion, Gentlemen, wow for your confider arion, is not merely who is to be your Reprefetsta. tire ?—but it involves the whole CosAitutioa of the .•• - . . Country t for if the eloffive franchife .be dellroyeas away with ydi':r glory, yoitr privikgeir, and all the benefits you derive froth thal Tyllem—of which the eledive franchife Ts the life-blood. Your Lifkrty, Gentlemen, would not firvive thkeitindion of that invaluable right. To preferve its fat uninterrupted exercife, or rather to regain It, is the object of thrs meeting, and it of Cootie decrees jair molt firkin attention. With terpee, Gent/mien, to the Candidate who is the °bid of our jolt and peculiar attachment, there is one point upon which, I believe, not only you, but all men in Europe or the world capable of forming an opinion of his conduct, mull agree—that " he has done his duty," and that he ought now to be left out of the field Eked alkeln.3 What duty then remains to be done'? it is incumbent on the whole county, on all of us—a is the intereft of every elector in the empire to perfOrm. To this we mull attend, and the worthy Bar onet I allude to has giien us a glorious example of courage. adiiity, sod per- Severance, upon the mall conßitutientil grounds— ' loch an example, indeed, as has never been exceed 'ed in this county, or in any part of the empire— [AO, anfr.] Let this codnty, then, and the people' of England, but imitate hint. Let every man come forward according to his means, and the Rrataguis of our enemies mull loon be defeated. If you feel as you ought—if you value the elective franchife and the liberty of the country—if you with that your 'Ration thould be great, and your monarchy glorious, yon will not hefitate to come-forward. I will fur ther fay, Gentlemen, that any man whotecommends a different conduct, or holds out a different dodsine, is an enemy to the Conflitution.—(Aolanfer] Gentlemen, I beg you to bear in mind that yoi are poly called upon to perform your duty, and I am fore that, upon fully ellimating the importance of the objed, you wilt immediately attend to this call. Let me hope, alto, that none of you will be content , eel with the mere performance of your individual do. ties—l mean that you will not feel it enough to far , nifh your individual contributions, but that you rill endeavour to promote the fabfcription in every part of the Empire, and to influence every friend to feu an example of liberality on this occalion. This, Gentlemen, is the tidied upon which we are afrem bled, and the few remarks I have thatiwn oat are open to a free and fall dikuffion. lam ready to hear any opinion that may be fuggeßed . I have no doubt that every man peewit is anzionfly folicitous for the promotion of the °We& we have in view. be caufe I troll that no Englithman can be indifferent tit the honour, the virtue, the dignity, and the freedom of his country, the &corky of which is involved in the refult of this Meeting. The Hon. Gentleman ' concluded with thanking the Affembly for the attei dos with whkh they had humored him. Mr. flosvis.t.a then role, for the fforPcit of real. certain Refolutions.. The firß wu condemnatory the condo& of the Sheriffs, as a roes violation of the ageism franchife. Mr. B then addreffed the Chairman, lad fuzgeiled the propriety of *basking from agreeing to - he Refolutions, until they fhould all• be reed.-- Being on his legs, he wiled to make a few remarks on what had alre ady been fajd. He übferved, Wit the prefent was not a Meeting of the Freeholden of Mid dlefex only, but a Meeting of the Friends of the Coi ftitution, at large. The atrocities committed at Brent. ford bad laid the axe at the root of the Conflitutiou. He had not the honour of being a Freeholder of the county of Middlefez. but he could declare himfelf a zealous friend of the Conititution The Conflitution of Great Britain was a radical bleffing, unequalled in the world ; but, if the outrage committed upon it at Brentford was tolerated, then the caufe of the pen. plc was hopetifs indeed. The Conftitution was di vided into three branchen twolf them were by de. fcent and creation, the Crown and the Peerage ; but the third elate emanated from the people, who were reprefented by the Hoare of Commons, and by that Alfembly alone. If the Returning Officer had the unconteouled power of obltruiffing the poll, then the valuable privilege of the Electors would become a nullity and non-entity.—( Lord oiyilerfe 11 The cafe before the Meeting was, that of a dire& obßrudion of the poll, and it mattered not whether it arofe from perfonal violence, or trick and chicane exercifed on the oppofite fide. There was a cafe decidedly in point, of an election let slide on limner cireumlances, he meant that for Nottingham ; the poll had been ob ffrustied in that inflance, and for that foie reafon had the election been let afide. He held in his hand a Refolution, which he hoped would be agreed to. Mr. Moue informed the Honourable Gentleman, it would be more proper to proceed with the Refolu• dons as propofed by Mr. Bolville in the firft place, before adopting the mifcellancous Refolutions Gen ' tktnen Might have to propofe. Mr. Bosvitcs then moved the fecond Refolution, that Sir Francis Burdett be requeßed to withhold all proceedings on his part, and leave to the Freeholders the legal vindication of their own rights.—The next Refolution, was appointing Treafurers to receive Cub• fcriptions, and a Committee for the management of , the money. The Refolution that followed, was, after an amendment, that the furplus of the money re ceived, after defraying the object of the Meeting, &mild be refpedfully offered towards defraying the expences of the late eledinn. Mr. Burette again role, and Rated, that he had heard and agreed to the Refolutions with great plea. Cure. He could not, however, help thinking, that Gentlemen might put down their names before break• ing up. He then intended to move. that Sir Francis Burdett fhould not be permitted to become a fob fcriher, but that he fhould be an Honorary Member of the Meeting. and that bit name Oswald be We the head of the lilt. The Chairman profered hittifelfexceedingly obliged to the Hon. Gentleman, but it was the general wills and underllanding of the Meeting to confider the Honourable Baronet completely out of the prefent bufinefs. Mr. H. Tow o role to propofe a refolution which he thought neceffary, in order to give full of fed to the intention of this Meeting. It was, that the Refolutions fhould be circulated throughout the country—that they fhould be publifbed in all the country newfpapers. He alto willed that minas fhould be appointed in the feveral counties to receive ftsbfcriptions. This he deemed the more advifable, as all true EngliOnnen mutt feel this to be a ctimmon cattle. and would no doubt he ready to come forward with a liberal contribution. particularly as the porpok • • . • . .. . . . ~ - , . tri which the prodetteriToch fabfettistblll 'ems to . applied is nothing lets than this. 6-19 arcititao *lieloa the CtimrnOits thall in future be returned by the nom nation of the Sheriffs, or by the fuffreges of the Ir. or holders—cepp/411 Their was an eclaitional circuit (fence whteh - thould urge the people tieviake a 2y upini tbia.occatitr;tthst the cafe was foglariag This would kite their purpnfe the.better in oppnfing she ciiistrivintes of a bliniller Whore obje& bad tad. formly been to avail hitufelf of every pretence to un dermine the tights, to &Oak the mind and tisir . it of Englifismen.

It was his intention to propofe, that a general meeting of the dab hould take place at the Crown and Anchor, on a day to F advertifed, in the beginning of Oitober. sad in mean time. that the general meeting Ibould divide Pelf into parochial meetings for the purples he ' Rated. ------- Mr. Mats Townsuswa thought that the hint sang out by the Honourable Gentleman was a very good one, but in his opinion it would be more proper withdraw it at prefent, as tier! simian it'd Rsp the Meeting . would be molt vigdaatly watched, fcrupuloutly 'owe fligated.
