40. h respect to the representation in the House of Commons. Since 1193, 'lB Peers had been created, who have influence over 39 Members (Loud cries of Infamous ! Shamefid !)—besides which six Baronets, created since that time, have influence over 11 Mem bers. Altogether, without the Baronets, there were 206 Members influenced by Peers and the Treasury. The English Peers made in the present reign returned 141 Members, and the Irish Peers made during the same period upwards of 50. There were upwards of 200 Members influenced by Peers created during the presenLreiga, besides the influence they have in counties, fOThe had been only talking of boroughs. The counties of Bucks, York, and Cambridge were now re presented by the sons of Peers. He hoped the people would search to the bottom of the principles of the Borough Faction. .The Borough-mongers in the House of Commons, to the number of ninety-four, re turned 139 Members. Altogether the number of Members returned by corruption and by influence was 306. There were also 17 Boroughs, not contain ing on the average 150 voters in each, which 21 Peers and the Treasury commanded. The whole Borough-Faction, together with these 17 Boroughs, returned 327 English Members in the House of Com mons. (Shame! Disgrace !) The • English part of the House of Commons consisted of 513 Members, from which deducting 327, there was a balance of 186, tolerably uninfluenced men. If therefore these 186 were deducted from the 327, there was a majo rity of 141 in favour of the Borough-Faction. The pensions and places of Members actually sitting in the House of Commons amounted to £178,000. The Resolutions which had been read, appeared to con tain all the solid principles that could render the re presentation effectual and beneficial. He concluded by declaring, that he wanted the Constitution, the whole Constitution, and nothing but the Constitution. Sir F. BURDETT then rose, and said it was his duty pro forma, to put the resolutions to which they had agreed, they were carried unanimously, He then gave as a toast— , 4 The cause for which Hampden bled in the field, and Sidney on the scaffold," drank with three times three. Sir FRANCIS then proposed, sg.Mr..lVardle--may we ever possess an advocate with ability to . detect, and courage to expose corruption," three times three. Mr. WARDLE then presented himself to the notice of the company ; but it was with very great difficulty he could obtain a hearing, on account of the bunts o( applause that ensued on beholding this spirited refor mer amongst them. " Gentlemen," said he, " the very kind manner in which you have drank my health, demands my warmest gratitude. If my parliamen. tary conduct has been such as to merit. such thanks from you, I can only say, that being convinced . I have done but little, I wish to GOD I could have done more. In the investigation which I instituted, "have to express my gratitude for the advice and assistance which I received from your worthy Chairman, who, although he could not attend in his place on account of indisposition, supported me most ably by hisjudi pious advice and assistance upon all occasions. lam unwilling .therefore that you should attribute entirely. to me, that praise which even in the bed of sickness and anxiety he was entitled to at your hands. It is my greatest happiness that I can call this worthy Baronet .my friend, and that I find my political lite has been so fortunate. The people of England, in giving me support, did themselves but justice, because I was doing my best to serve them. My trial was but short ; you took me up at once, and by your support, gave me • spirits to go through wi;ii it. Your worthy chair man has been fighting your battles, and has been using his best endeavour; to secure to. you your liber ties and your lives. He has been defamed, abused, and vilified ; and yet he has not received that sup. port which I have received, although I am convinced he deserved it much-better, because his abilities are superior to mine. In ze.ii, however, o serve you, I will not yield to any man in England. The abuses that exist in the Government, are p2rf:ctly well known to you all, and I pledge mys , elf to act to the best of my 'abilities to remove them ; for it is impossible that ever I should swerve from that line cf con- duct which I may say has hid the sanction of the great mass of the people of Efigland—(cries -of all ! all !). If ever I desert you, I ought to be an out cast of the country ;—or there is nothing 1 can wish so much as yetir esteem, and that of all the honest part of the cominiiii:ty. Just before I had come to this • Meeting, I had a letter put into my', hands, from the North of England, I mean from Sheffield, the contents of which 1 was desired to com municate to you. It informs us, that after comiy g to those Resolutions which the inhabitants of that place did me the honour of communicating ; they ' come to another Resolution, expressive of the neces sity of all corruption being done away by a speedy, Reformation in Parliament ; a Resolution which was signed by no less than- 15,000 games.—(Loud huz za: !)—I• can also inform you, that there are Resolu tions from Paisley, in Scotlarld, signed by upwards of 4000 people, breathing the same sentiments.— Such being the case, I think it is impossible that we should not be encouraged. ,If ' ever you have an idea that I am wavering from any point, or acting in a manner unbecoming the Representative of a free people, I hope you will call me to account, and, by doing so, give me an opportunity of explaining my self. I say this particularly, because there appears a combination in the public prints to misrepresent .me. Sonic of these prints say, that 1 am every day compli menting the Ministers, and speaking of them, as if they were men that ought to be trusted. It was no fll•rther back than Friday last, that 1 arraigned them of every thing that was corrupt, for not entering their accounts at the War-office. And when I WAN taxed with abusing the present Ministers, and being more attached to the last, I said, 1 wished not to burden any of them with any sins but their own. 1 am free to confess that the sins of the last Adininistratien will number with those of the present. Gentlemen, although our acquaintance has been short, yet I think it neces,,ary to be thus expli cit, for it is your kindness alone that has raised me to the proud situation I now hold, which I had no right to expect. Gentlemen, I declare that I belong to no p a rty, (aNdasurs) ; 1 have no predilection for one party in preference to :mother. All that I do declare is, that until the whole system be changed, it matters pot to the people of Lngland who are the Ministers. Afore alolasurs.) Therefore, Gentlemen, I may say to you this night, what I said on Friday night in the House of Co mmons, that I do not w i s h t h e present vi t a stas. to be removed, but that I do wage eternal Fax w ah• the system of cotruptteu that exists, acid I shall do so until we have honest men to be Ministers of the country. I have been told by his Majesty's Mi nisters, within the wails of the Houseof Commrms, that if we wanted purity of character, we were to look for it in men high in office; and at the same time I heard those who were lately Ministers cheer the idea, which was as much as to say, We were all Right Honourable men. Although I do respect many individuals in that House, many who have seen their errors, but of 'e now ready to do you a service, 1 have not the most distant predilection either for the one side or the other. I have heard a great deal of late, relative to the danger of Parliamentary Reform, but who are they•that are so apprehensive of danger in this parti cular ? They are your placemen and pensioners ; your tax-gatherers and your Commissioners of Taxes. You are all doubtless aware, that within a short time, a great body of the inhabitants, not only in this city, but throughout the country, have joined the standard of Reform; although they were formerly called Alarmists; but I have reason to know that the public mind has considerably changed, and that those who formerly trembled .at the name of my worthy friend near me, now seek his countenance and protec tion. It is the fear.of doing wrong that has prevented them from doing good; friends alike to the King and to the people, I say, that we see no danger, because we know that there is none. We know that the only dan ger that can now arise, would be from delay. I have tocongratulate you, tkat the people ofthe country now see our worthy Chairman in his true colours, he is the same man in point of honourable principles, integrity, and exertion, that ever he was. He has not changed, but thank Gon, the people of England are changed. (Loud Meering).—They know how to value his tran scendent merits, for without paying a compliment, I know of no man that can stand equal to him. They know the purity of his motives, and that every at tempt he has made, was for the advantage of the King, and at the same time for the benefit of the 'people. I have been attacked as being a Jacobin, but why need I value such an attack, when I hear how it has been applied in other quarters ? I did hear the Noble Lord near me, (Lord Cochrane) acting as the friend of the sailors, attempt to afford them relief ; it was then insinuated against him, that he sought to raise a mutiny in the fleet. The sort of mutiny that that Noble Lord has raised in the fleet, I think late events have fully evinced.—(Near, hear, hear!)—He has raised a mutiny in i fleet, but it was in the fleet of the enemy; and, unless I am much mistaken, the Noble Lord will prove himself as great an enemy to domestic as to foreign foes, and be as capable of raising a mutiny in the one as in the other. It such men as he are to be branded with the name of jaco bimsm, I should be happy to be honoured with it also." He then concluded.with proposing the fol lowie., toast : •` Mar the rust jacobir.ical conspirators be deprived of the powrr of undermining the Constitution." Mr. Halm TOWNSEND said, it was highly gratify ing to his feelings to reflect, that he accorded so per fectly in his sentiments with his Worthy and Hon. Friends Who had preceded him on the present occa - sion. He begged the Meeting to recollect that there was no time to be lost, not even a moment, and what ever might be the ardent, anxious, and zealous feel ings of those who were then present, he thought it would be absolutely necessary to take the most im mediate steps towards convening a Meeting of the Freeholders of -Middlesex, to consider and come to Resolutions on the absolute necessity of a Reform of the Representation in.the Commons House of Parlia ment. He flattered himself, that hladdlesex would once more take the lead and breathe the spirit of patriotism to the farthest limits of the empire. He lamented extremely that the worthy Chairman, Sir F. Burdett, should have been driven from the contest, and that the county had thereby been deprived of having him •as their Member at the present moment. He hdised, however, that before the Meeting separated, they would agree to a requisition to the Sheriff for calling a Meeting to take into consideration the ininivdiate necessity of a Parliamentary Reform ; that they would appoint a Committee to draw up Re solt..tions, to be submitted to the consideration of that Meeting, and that Sir F. Burdett should be a Mem• her of that Committee. (NiverralaNtlaase.) Any resplutions to which the worthy Baronet gave his sanction, he was fully convinced would meet with the concurrent approbation nat only of the discerning and patriotic part of the County of Middlesex, but with those ut the same descript:o %from one extremity of the empire to the other. He begged leave to re. mill 1 this Meeting that a war was supposed to be on the eve of breaking out between Austria and France. It was more than probable that at the very moment he was speaking, a severe conflict had taken place between those two powers. If the event should hap pen to be disastrous to Austria, our ally, he should not be at all surprised if fresh alarms were attempted to be raised, and that such unfortunate result should be made the pretence of a necessity to suspend the Habeas Corpus Act, and give the country the benefit and the blessing of being subjected to martial law. —He hoped, however, if any such foul attempt should be made, that the people would be on the alert, and would nut by their apathy, permit the country to be afflicted by one of the most direful and oppressive measures that could ever be imposed on a free and enlightened nation. He was happy to think that every individual in the Assembly he was then addressing had a great stake in the Constitution, and in the real in terests of the country, whilst the placemen land pen. sioners were in that predicament, that if a conqueror should unfOrtunately at any time make head against the country, they would be in no danger, for there could be no doubt but he would be very ready to give them an assurance of their having those places and pensions continued to them ; and from their great predilection for these good things, he was afraid they might many of them be found as well disposed to re ceive the wages of corruption from one hand as ano- I This had been found to be the we in other coutitries, and it behoved us to take especial care there s:iould not be. a possibility of its fatal repetition taking place in:this. Corruption was the hydra which had destroyed all the Governments on the Continent, one aro:. the other ; and if this country did not strangle it before it gained greater strength, its - doom would be inevitably sealed, and its downfall must be the dreadful consequences. If he had not conceived this to be a matter on which his worthy and honourable friends had seemed to him to be too sanguine, it was not his intention to have trespassed on the time of the Meeting at all ; but feeling as he did on the occasion, he could not hut offer the ebservations he had made. 1F - • He thanked the Meeting for their kind attention, and concluded by proposing the following toast : • " The gallant castigator of our foreign foes, Lord Coen' ANL; and may he meet with equal success and greater support when he joins the patriotic band against our domestic enemies. Lord COCHRANE said, he would only desire every individual in that meeting to place himself in the situ ation in which he then stood, and they would imme diately be a pledge of the feelings with which he (Lord Cochrane) was deeply impressed. For the very high honour they had conferred on him in drink ing his health, in the distinguished manner, and with the warmth and enthusiasm they had done, he beg ged leave to return them his warmest thanks. On a former occasion, when he had the honour to address them from the hustings, he had candidly told them what were his sentiments with regard to the necessity of a Parliamentary Reform ; and at the same time expressed his hopes that the day was not far distant when that so desirable event would be brought about in a proper constitutional manner. He was extremely happy in the idea that since that time circumstances had taken place which had produced results highly favourable to his former opinion on that subject, and Irani what he saw of the present feeling and disposition of the great body c f the people, he could not bet antici pate the most flattering and beneficial consequences to the dearest and most important interests-of the nation. No man could more sincerely rejoice than he did at the present promising aspectof affairs and after the very able and eloquent speeches which had been delivered by his Hon. Friends uho preceded him, it would be altogether unnecessary for him to trespass long on their time and patience. Abuses of the most flagrant and destructive nature had been proved to exist, and it was impossible they could be too soon attacked, and it possible destroyed. He was very glad to find this Meeting and the country so fully impressed with the absolute necessity of a Parliamentary Reform, in the producing an accomplishment of which they would derive but very little strength from his opinion. He could not however but so far give it, as to say that he thought the must prudent and effectual way to obtain it, would be by a respectful Address to his Majesty, stating the necessity of the measure, and requesting . he would ..)e graciously pleased to accede to it. His Majesty, on his Accession.tothe Throne, had expres sed it to be one of the most grateful feelings of his heart that 414,• was born a Briton ; and'he had not a doubt on his mind but that his Majesty would hehap'y to lend a Royal and car to the petition ofa loyal and patriotic People. There was one thing which he could not avoid mentioning with respect to the con duct of his Majesty's Ministers in the House of Com mons, and that was the total neglect of all public business. He was really shocked when he was abroad and read an account of what had passed in the House, to see the trifling accounts with which the proceed ings were filled, and could not but blush at being the subject ofa country whose most important debates were wasted on such unimportant subjects ; and he could not but lament that Ministers should pass the whole morning studying the cavils they should malc. use of at night. His Lordship repeated his thanks ' for the honour they had conferred on him, and con cluded by giving the.following toast : " The Electors of Westminster; and may the splendour of their extimple animate their country to imitation." Which was received with universal applause. Mr. W. Surrir said, he had now been upwards of thirty years the constant and steady friend of Reform in Parliament. He had commenced his career on that subject in a Society, the name of which, he believed, was now nearly forgotten, viz. the Society for Con stitutional Information ; he then went from that to the Society of the Fsiends of the People, who, he be lieved, were as firm and true friends to Reform as any set of men that ever lived, or may hereafter, and he would recommend the petition presented bT theM to Parliament as the text of that Meeting. Much, how. ever, as he desired reform, and* long as he had la boured its accomplishment, he could not avoid gua-e -, ing them against being too sanguine in their expecta tions. They had he feared, much greater difficulties to struggle with than they were aware of. They had ilot only the opposition of the corrupt borough-holders and borough-mongers, but also that of the corrupt voters throughout the kingdom ; and the numberof . those, he could assure them, was by no means small. They had also the opposition of the prejudiced to en ' counter, and they were very numerous indeed. In the county. of York, in particular, Mr. Fawkes, who . was appointed to attend that Meeting, but who was prevented from attending by indisposition, had ex pressed an opinion, that the County of York was by.no means ripe for the measure of a Parliamentary Re form, nor ready to second the County of Middlesex in the present attempt.. At the same time that he used this doubtful language, he hoped the present meeting and the general friends to reform would only receive it as an additional stimulus to their zeal and activity, recommending to them, at the same time, persever ance, moderation, and, above all, patience ; for that faculty i of the mind they would have occasion to ex ercise n a very great degree. Major CAR- WRIGHT said, he felt himself called, upon to state a few facts, in consequence of the speech of the Honourable Gentleman who had just sat down. As to the county of York, they had in some measure been poisoned by reports, that this Meeting was to be the focus of a revolutionary furnace ; but he had in his hand a letter from Mr. Fawkes, received that very morning, in which he assures him indisposition alone had prevented his attending the Meeting ; but he had no doubt when they heard of the Meeting, and others, proceeding with temper and moderation, the people of Yorkshire would be as ready to join in the measure of obtaining Reform in Parliament as. those of any other county in the kingdom. Mr. WAITHMAN said, he should not perhaps have addressed the Meeting, but for the extraordinary speech delivered by the Honourable Gentleman who spoke last but one. The tendency of that speech was only to destroy the unanimity, and damp the fervour of the Meeting. The Honourable Gentleman had stated all the difficulties in the way of Reform, but not how they were ' to be conquered. He had noticed the former efforts of his po litical friends, and seemed to infer, that because they had been unsuccessful, the present movers o f question must be equally so at present. He would not deny that there were honourable men, who meant sincerely, among those Gentlemen ; yet it ap peared to him, tha: in their exertions, their principal object was to perplex their political adversaries, the Ministers for the time being. He (Mr. Waithman) could not agree with Mr. Smith in his melancholy forebodings, and thought the present a most fa vourable time for Reform. Between ten and eleven Sir F. BURDETT left the room, and was attended by Colonel WARDLE &c. Major Cnarweiotir continued in the Chair for a short time. Mr. Cnett.i. with an accompanying speech, proposed as a toast the memory of Charles James Fox, but Major CARTWRIGHT having left the Chair, and great noise and disorder prevailing, the toast was not regularly put. A few then remained for purposes of conviviality. F -- LONDON. TUESDAY, MAY 2. PRICE OP STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. Console, for money, 64—for May 68 4-omnium Exchequer Bills 12s. 14s. prent Some of the Dover letters received yesterday stated that thrre was a firing on the French coast, and illuminations on Friday night and Saturday morning, supposed to be in consequeLce t it some victory obtained by the enemy—perhaps over the Austri ans. The letters of this morning do not enabl e us to g i ve any farthcs. particulars. In fact our own and any that we have seen du nee even mention the circumstance, and we are rather incliinsi consider the reports of yesterday as founded on some mistake. Letters from Holland state, that the French and Dutch flee. which lay in the Straits of Flushing, and from which so meth was expected, had suddenly run up the Scheldt upon the genre reaching Holland of the.destraetion of the French Snip s in Basque Roads. His Majesty's ship FISGUARD has arrived front the North of Spain, with intelligence that the French had made a fresh crack up tn Vigo, from which they were repulsed by the Sputard s C msidtrable loss. When the Ft scuaap came away, the inliaL.. tants of Vigo were in high spirits, and no apprehensions whatei were entertained of the result of any other hostile attempt. The Lord Nelson packet, Captain Sr, twaar, arrived ye s/ad ,. morning at Yarmouth from Coact:burgh, and landed a Id essa47 with dispatches from Sir Sarautt HOOO, in the Baltic.

In the mean time priv ate letters from Stockholm state, that apprehensions were entertained lee Sir SAMUEL Hoop should have been under the necessity of cams ng back tie convoy which lately arrived off the coast of Sw e a t , from this country. The following is an extract from one of ;1 4 private letter alluded to : " STOCKHOLM, APRIL 14.
