t' ~~'. }, ,' 1 3 • f, been so put to the sword because they were Parliamentary Re formers, it should seem to this Meeting, that the horrid crime was a flagitious elperiment, of persons in the same interest as the usu Ting Monqpislists of Representation ; and in the hope pf• the mby patting down for ever, the just and sacre d cause of Parliamentary Reform, by the terror of a military execution of its advocates, should they dare any more publicly to assemble, for obtaining justice, and recovering their rights. " 10. That the bloodstained sword, which, on the 16th . of A ugust , was so inhumanly active in the cause of the Monopolies of Representation, having, instead of putting down the Parlia mentary Reformers, called up the indignant Nation, it should stsem to this Meeting, that the Monopolists are now reduced to this alternative—either to acquiesce in a Constitutional Reform, or to exterminate a large and daily increasing priaportion of the People. " IL Thit the foregoing Resolutions, verbatim, be made public, as the Loyal Declaration of the ireeholders of Middle. sex, publicly assembled for the purpose expressed in the Re quisition. " 1 0 . That it be the request of this Meeting to the Dukes of Norfolk, Somerset, Redford, Devon, - Roxburgh, and Leinster— to the Marquis of Lansdown—to the Earls of Thanet, Albe mqrle, Fitawillinin, Grosvenor, Carnarvon, •Grey, Lauderdale, Dirnky, and Donoughmore—to the Bishop of Norwich—to the Barons Arundel, Deere, Byron, King, and Holland—that they, or any number of them, not fewer than three, and prior, if pos sible to the meeting of Parliament, will not only present to the Prince Regent, the Declaration of this Meeting, but, before it be delivered, one of them do read it to him ; and that, on the same occasion, the said Peers, being hereditary Counsellors of the Crown, do also declare to his Royal Highness their own sen timents on the conduct of the Manchester Magistrates and Yeo manry Cavalry on the bloody 16th day of August last." The Rev. Mr. DRAPER, in seconding the Resolu tions, observed, that there was nothing of more im portance than the liberties of Englishmen, upon those liberties depended their virtue, and upon their virtue depended their utility.--(Applause.)—Each titan had a right to feel for the liberty and indepen dence of the whole community, and if he did not do so, his feelings of patriotism were an incumbrance to him. The late transactions at Manchester were, though confined to one district, of a nature to arouse the feelings of Englishmen; but when the alarm was communicated—when a fear was entertained that si milar acts were to be perpetrated throughout the realm—then it operated like an electric shock, and there was not one individual who wished well to the country who had a difference of opinion on the sub ject—(Applause.)—But there were persons who en tertained different opinions, or at least who pretended to entertain different opinions. There were elective and non-elective bodies. There were bodies upon which no impression could be made. Unfortunately those bodies were too frequently to be found ; and if they inquired the 'cause, it would be found to Arise from the too great influence, and Ministerial patron age. There was a time when the Gentry of the coup. try had a common interest with the commonalty— when they scrupulortily watched the movements of Government, and were desirous of being ruled well and cheaply, for the sake of those out of whose hard' earnings the tares were paid—(Cheers.)—At that time too there was Government patronage, but it was only sufficient to support the splendour of the Throne, to oil the wheels of Government, and allow the state machine to move with ease and activity.— At that time the people had a voice in the Legisla mre, and under this system of Legislature it was that a Dudley and an Empson bad been put to death for mal-practices against the liberties of Eng lishrnen.--(App/ause.)--,.Englishmen, when assembled together, were incapable of atrocious or sanguinary acts, however such acts might be committed in holes and corners; and thus it was, as the wise man ob serves—" In the multitude of Council there is safE ty !" But now that: system was altered. • Govern ment had so much patronage in the Law—in the Church—in the Army—that that law which was ori ginally instituted for the protection of the people, be came their dread and their oppression:--(Cheers.)— In a word, the remedy was worse than the disease.— This patronage had disseminated among the people a set of persons who were inirhical to their interests; and Government having been long nibbling at the li berties of the people, thought they were now strong enough to crush them st a blow.---(Cries Qf g They can't, they cant!')-Let them look at the proceedings at Manchester—at the hasty approval of those pro ceedings by Ministers. In those proceedings blood had been spilt, and where blood bad been spilt, no rman ever gave an hasty approval—(Mers);— t d why was the approval so readily given? Because this blood had been shed in the cause of the people. —(Cheess.)—lt was sophistry to talk of prejudging ' the question. Who was it that prejudged it% It was his Majesty's Ministers. The removal of Earl Fitz. william spoke volumes.---(So it does.)—Ministers seemed determined not to retain any men of honour, of family, of rank, or of talent. They wanted servility —the most abject servility—they wished to have their commands carried into execution at a nod— they wished to exact implicit obedience from all per sons in office. But there was a time when these Mi nisters would not have dared to put such an insult upon a noble family ; now, however, they did it, and their excuse was, gg Sir, you have mixed yourself up with the cause of the people"—(Cheers.)—Afte; some observations on the Coroner's Inquest at Oldham, the Rev. Gentleman observed, that he could not support a Government which endeavoured to oppress the People. He would support the King's Prerogative.,--but he Must also support the People's Rights, in despite of any Minister—( Chee r i ng ). Th ese Ministers and their supporters quoted Scripture, but they 'cut the book in halves, and took that part which suited their purpose. They had no doubt read the 17th verse Of the second chapter of the first Epistle of Peter, and in this verse were four things contained : of these four things Ministers adopted two—" Love Goo and honour the King." There were two other parts, bug these were passed over—(Lasghing). The worthy Magistrates %Vent a little further, and took three. fourths of the • forth were also strong. The dismissal of Earl Fitz.: william was a strong measure ; in tact, every mean sure adopted.by Ministers was strong. Then should their Resolutions be suited to those measures. The Reverend Gentleman concluded by seconding the Resolutions. Major CARTWRIGHT proceededto put the Resolti dons, which, up to the eleventh, were carried una nimously. When the eleventh Resolution was proposed, GcoaGE BENG, Esq. M. P. for the County, came forward, and said, that he had taken thai opportunity of attending this Meeting of his Constituents, how ever much he might differ froth the Resolutions which had been proposed : though the present As sembly had not been called together by the author ity of the Sheriff, still he thought it his duty to attend the Meeting of his Constituents on all public occa sions ; and, though he might differ from them in his opinion, he should be sorry to think that any one would view that difference of opinion as a mark of disrespect to the public body. On the contrary, he would beg leave to say, that he was by no means in sensible of the many atrocities which it was alleged were committed at Manchester. On the contrary, he might appeal to his whole political life, that there never was any event in which the liberties of the People were concerned, and particularly in so mo mentous and very interesting a question as the pre sent, that he did not exert himself to the utmost.— Yet he must say, and say it he would, with an honest and unbiassed mind, that he certainly was no& pre pared to give an unqualified censure on the Man chester Magistrates and Yeomanry—(Several voices cried out "why so? why so?") --I object, (said Mr. Byng) to passing an unqualified censure on the Ma gistrates and Yeomanry of Manchester, for the same reason that I disapprove of the unqualified approbi don bestowed on them by Ministers.—The object for which he was most anxious, was to obtain inquiry, and he could not but lament that there had not . been an earlier Meeting of the County of Middlesex. An early Requisition had been signed by a number of his Noble and other Friends, for the purpose Of peti tioning his Royal Highness for the calling of Parlia ment together at a period sooner than usual, but as the Royal Proclamation soon afterwards stated the day on which Parliament was to be assembled, some had thought, perhaps, it was not necessary to meet. While he could not but deeply, lament that the same; energy was not shewn here, as was in Yorkshire, at the very important Meeting which.waS held the*, he could assure them, thatin his plaie in The WOO;e of Commons, fie 4 - ould faithlblie Iftinkt himself to th e: utmost in promoting:Lomst koloian, strict, and impartiblinvestigation ar .411 The kircilbt stances attending tbe-Manchistei'Meethig..tie ' 16th of August. If - nti ilia -inquiry- wits: gran s - he must be allowed to say, that nothi i i) , g% since" the accession Cif the present Family to the Erime,.cpuld tend so nitikb to alienate the affections of the People from that Throne, as the late melancholy affair.-+— z. If, however, on a proper inquiry.heiaginstitutedohe country should be properly informed, and on privet evidence, that the Meeting was one of a tumultuous nature, which he did not believe, and that 'nothing could have quelled it but the interposition of. the mi litary, then, indeed, it would have been time to-he satisfied. -te regretted that he was now addressing so small 3 body of his Constituents, as he expected. to have seen a much larger body present: With respect to the doctrines of Parliamentary Reform, such ai were held at the Manchester Meeting, he must be allowed in candour to say, that he had uniformly dis approved of them, though at the same time no man could possibly feel a deeper interest in the extension of the Elective Franchise than he did. While there fore he opposed the doctrines of Universal Suffrage and Annual. Parliaments, he at the same time disap proved of the Rotten Boroughs, and thought that the Elective Franchise should be extended to all house holders who paid direct taxes. The doctrine of Uni versal Saffrage-wfs in itself quite absurd, as it never had been the usage of this country—and even in France and America, where it Was said to exist, there were exceptions. At the same time, while he thus candidly stated his own opinions, he never would consent to vilify those who went further in the cause of Reform than he did ; and he sincerely regretted that such a bone of contention had been thrown down to divide the friends of the cause. He the more , deeply laniented this, because he was confident that it would tend in no inconsiderable degree to put :energy and confidence into the minds of the friends 'of public abuses, and lead Ministers to stronger ma jorities in the ensuing Session of Parliament, than in the last. Whatever might be the result, the warmest, unceasing, and constant effort of his future labours should be for the good, not merely of his Constituents, but of the Public at large.—(MareA cheering.) Mr. CLARKE begged leave to explain, and in a few words condemned the idea of the question, as to the Massacre at Manchester being prejudged, for it was universally known, that, to the last moment, the Meeting at Manchester was peaceable, orderly, and eves Cheerful, when the People were attacked by the Yeomanry. Major CARTWRIGHT said, that none of the Resolu tions were indicative of either one plan of Reform or another. The eleventh and twelfth Resolutions were then unanimously agreed to. Major CARTWRIGHT congratulated the Meeting"on the harmony which had prevailed through the day. He agreed with their worthy Representative, that it was to be regretted that -so few had been present to: day ; but still, whether the Meeting was composed of 200 - 200,000, the' George Byng, E sq .) f or hi s gene-al atteition cause of the Peopl e , an d hi s attendance that d; Mr. BYNG ob s e rve d, t h at to him ;t w a peculiar satisfa ct i on to meat the thank s o f hi stituents. lie wa s s i ire t h at no man cellist • hold public confid ence in highe r va l ue than and he was so decidedly of thisoninion, that' assure them, whenever the moment could not agree with the wishes of those rho elected him, he would that moment cheertr' the sacred trust reposed in him.

With these sentiments, he would present bid theta farewell—(Loud applusea.) The Meeting was then dissolved, and Nlajo WRIGHT and the other Gentlemen who took the business of the day, were loudly chr withdrew. OXFORD COUNTY MEETING. A County Meeting took place in the Tt,7a at Oxford, yesterday, called by a most body of Freeholders, Lo express to his Roy: Bess the PRINCE REGENT their loyalty and ment to the Constitution.

These assemblies had been the . of throwing great impediments in the way of commerce of the country f and much disorder ensued.

MIDDLESEX MEETING. Pursuant to a Requisition, signed by Major CAST.. WRIGHT, and some other Gentlemen of the County of Middlesex, a Meeting of the Freeholders of this • County was yesterday held at the Mermaid Inn, Hackney,for the purpose of taking into consideration the late ..ceedings at Manchester. A . Requisition to this diva, most respectably signed, had been pre viously presented to the Sheriffs, but .without. effect. At one eitlect neirTy . lo6 persons had assembled, and before the conclusion about 200 were present. In a short time Major CARTWRIGHT, attended by Mr. BYNO, M.P. for. the County ; the Rev. Mt. DRAPER. Mr. J. T. CLARKE, and some other • Gentle men, entered the room. On the Motion of Mr. CLARKE, Major CART- Imam. was unanimously voted to thp Chair. The venerable Major opened the business of the day, by reading. the original Requisition, calling upon the SheriS to convene a Meeting of the Freeholders of the County. This Requisition, he observed, had not been complied with, but the Freeholders moue not thus to be prevented from expressing their sentiments. They were determined to deliver their opinions on the situations of those persons who had been maimed, wounded, and lamed on the bloody 16th of August. During the time when Gagging Bills were in fashion, seven householders were deemed sufficient to convene a Meeting—the Requisition by which this Meeting had been called together, was signed by seven times seven Freeholders, and surely this was a sufficient authority for their being so assembled— (Applause). Having been appointed to the Chair, he felt it his duty to hear every Gentleman who offered himself to the Meeting. Mr. J. T. CLARKE, before he proposed the Reso lutions, which were to be submitted to the Meeting, begged to offer a word or two. The worthy Got.- tleman proceeded to express his regret at not having had an earlier opportunity of expressing his opinions on the late proceedings at Manchester—a subject which engaged the attention of the whole country.— He was, however, pleased that a County Meeting had, at length, been called in Middlesex, and he hoped that the example would be followed by the Counties which had not hitherto assembled for similar purposes. After a variety of observations on the improper conduct of the Manchester Magistrates, and on the hasty approval of that conduct by his Ma jesty's Ministers, Mr. Clarke observed, that,' before he concluded, he would. quote to them the words of a man, than whom there was none more meek, or of, more profound wisdom—than whom there was no greater man since the time of the celebrated Bacon, whose admirer he was. He would address them in the language of the celebrated Professor Dugald Stewart, who, in his Elements of the Philosophy of the Mind, said—" The violent revolutions which, at different periods, have convulsed modern Europe, have arisen, not from a spirit of innovation in. So vereigns and Statesmen, but from their bigotted at tachment to antiquated forms, and to principles bor rowed from less enlightened ages. It is the reve rence for abuses, which have been sanctioned by time, accompanied with an inattention to the progress of public opinion, which has, in most instances, blinded tlle rulers of mankind, till government has lost all. its efficiency, and till the rage of innovation has be come too general and too violent to be satisfied with changes, which, if proposed at an earlier period, would have united in the support of established in stitutions, every friend to order and to the prospe rity of his country"—(Cheers). He thanked the Meeting for the attention with which he had been heard, and concluded by moving the following series of Resolutions : " r. That from St Peter's Field at Manchester, and from the tongueless graves of the sabre-slain on that never-to-be for gotten field, there conies up a moaning, a soul-stirring cry of blood—That cry wafts shame and indignation through the sor rowing land—That blood crimrms our country with a stain of dishonour, which no hand, but that of Jostler, can wash oat. " 2. That wickedness in power having been in the habit of seeking indemnity for violating the law, by moving Parliament to violate the Constitution, it is become necessary to ascertain tie extent of Parliamentary authority, and to mark its limits. " 3. That the People of this realm have an inherent, sacred, aid indefeasible right and property in that free Constitution (in cluding the institution of a Parliament) which their forefathers &lose, and willed, to be the national polity, or system of Govern ment; and they (the People) have a right and property in the dn.: process of constitutional law. " 4. That Parliament (although next in the sovereign power and majesty to the Nation) being still, only an emanation from the national sovereignty—a creation for the People's-benefit-tea I creature for their service—a trustee for controuling magistracy, Cut it shall not wrong nor oppress—and a steward, for care of the community's political estate, it is, therefore, manifestly im possible, that, under any conceivable circumstances, or on any pretence whatsoever, Parliament should have a discretionary au thority, to take away from its Creator (the sovereign nation) its free Constitution and sacred Liberties, either for ever, or for a month, or for s moment. " 5. That the Legislative authority of Parliament is neces sarily limited to the end for which it was conferred ; namely, to the enactment of such laws only as shall be subservient to, and conservative of, the Constitution; and which, at the same time, shall accord with equity and reason. For to suppose Parlia ment had authority beyond such limitation, would be obviously absurd. 44 6. That by self-evident maxims of truth—by the practice of upright Judges—as well as by numerous declarations of Par liament itself, it is firmly established as constitutional and unal terable law in this land, that enactments of Parliament, in form of Statutes—if they violate the Constitution—if they invade the inherent Rights of the People—if they be inconsistent with equity or with reason—or if they be contrary to the Law of lstiture, xvhich Is the will of Goo—then such enactments are not Statutes, but errors or corruptions, necessarily null and void, in capable of validity ; and, therefore, by the People, their Judges, and their Juries, are to be holden for nought. 7. That consequently any enactment, in form of a Statute, which should be passed for suspending any constitutional, and therefore unalterable law, for protecting the entire community, i7l the persons of all the individuals of whom that community is -.. fourths of the verse.
