He was preceded by a-num ber of men carrying Rags, among which was the fol lowing one, pctly new. It was a ref flag, the devise three ban& linked, with the following inseriAion: easw.isoAse mem 'llds thins deal Ise when tracts are dead; This Union, so bens, them with dread.; This Union's so frigidly, it joins band snd heart, . No downs use lam this Union &A Part." Mr. HOST haying been called tu the Chair, he pro. Cieded to open the imsMou of the day. by stating it was for the purpose of petitioning the Regent against the present proceedings in Parliament. He con trested the cdndoct of the late and present Lord Mayors, the latter of whom bad promised not to in. mfere with the present Meeting, if all went peace ably en, and requested his audience to. prevent, by their. peaceable and orderly conduct, any pretence for calling in the military to cut them down : after which he proceeded to enforce the purpose of the Meeting. He concluded by proposing a series of Resolutions. Mr. Lewis (of Coventry) read the Resolutions. which, after deprecating the measures of Government, pledged themselves, and to prevail on ethers, to ab stain from the use of tea, porter, spirits, tobacco, kc. , Mr. Posaasten seconded them, and they wets tarried. ' A Petition, praying the Prince Regent te withhold his Assent to the Bills now pending in Par* Bement was then moved. A Mr. Putuars approved of the Petition, and concluded his speech by saying , " I heartily s;corstts this here Pdition: At this moment, an 111-leoking fellow mounted waggon, and unfurled the son of Galen's death's head flag, vsciferating. curies du those who would not lie in its defence. The CHAIRMAN called on the Meeting to aid him is supporting order, and to han d'over all disturbers to the Civil Power — (Cries ,f.. We will, we sear). The Resolutions were then carried. Mr. HUNT said he would present the Petition, and observed that this would be the last Meeting, per haps, that he or they would be able to attend of the present nature. Mr. Lawns proposed a Vote of Menke t Mt. Hunt for his conduct in the Chair, when dirty ragged'fellow, in a leather apron, was seen clamber ing up one corner of the waggon with a letter in his hand, which he held towards Mr. How:. It was west ascertained that this letter was from Doctor Watson, in his doleful prison in Whitecrbss-street, and the bearer said it was the Doctor's wish that it should be read to the Meeting. Mr. Lewis observed, that the business for which they met having been concluded, the reading the let ter would be irregular. A few persons, however, were for having i; read, and a considerable clamour ensued, but stlength it subsided, and the Vote of Thanks to the Chairman, was carried. Mr. Hunt and hie friends iremediately left the scene of action in a hackney coach, and all the flags were taken away, ucept the death's-bead ; and the moment they were gone, the ragged mad, who bad brought the letter from Doctor Watson, mounted the vacant chair, and attempted to read it, the gage bearer waving his death's head over him with fero cious glee. ne crowd, beweter, refuted to bear the letter read, ANd loud cries of " Ofi sir resounded on every side.

This conduct only excited louder cries of OEI off!" mingled with shouts .of laughter, and he then tried t touch of the pathetic, by seising his ,sable banner, and affecting to tear it, but it would not do ; another roar of laughter folloseed, and at length he leaped off the waggon, flourished his cudgel round his head, and left the.market-place alone, amidst the hisses and groans of the crowd. Every precaution was taken by the Civil Authori ties for the preservation of the public peati; . a =op of Horse Guards were stationed in the Curtain-road; the City Light Horse were in attendance at their bar.. racks in Gray's Inn-lane ; and the entire Police of tho City, With a large accession especial Constables, we: e in readiness to-act at a moment's notice, ifnecessary. The crowd, however, dispersed without c ommuting! any breach of the pence. WESTWINSTER MEETING. • Yesterday, pursuant to a Requisition presented to the High Bailiff, a Meeting of Electors of Westmin ster was held in Covent. garden, for the purpose of considering the propriety of presenting a Petition to Parliament against the measures now pending in the two Houses. The place fixed on for the Meeting, was the North-west corner bf the Garden, in front of the building called Covent-garden Chambers, and of. Richardson s Hotel, where a temporary hustings were erected for the accommodation of those who were to take a part in the business of the Meeting. A little after one o'clock, the Mon Bawer pro- Ceeded from Richardson's Hotel to the hustings : he was followed by Sir FRANCIS Boinerr and Mr. LAMa, the Represelatatives for Westminster ; by Lord ALTHORP', Lord Ntinnii; Mr. LAMBTON, Mr. FYSHE Pimmaa, • Honourable H. GREY BIINVRTT, Lord GEORGIC WILLIAM RUSSAL, Mr. HOBHOWSR, Mr. D. .IEINNAIRD, MajOf CARTWRIGHT, and se veral other Gentlemen. The .HIGN Bemire then opened the business by reading the Requisition, and at the sane time observed, that no person except those who were Electors of Westminster, could have a right to take a part in the business of the Meeting.,,, Sir FAA wen Bunnarr 'now came forward in front of the hustings Amidst loud shouts of applause. He said, before he addressed the Meeting on the business for which they had been called together, be should say a few words upon, what just fell from the High Bailiff, who had laid down a doctrine with which it was impossible for him to agree. He saw no reason why Englishmen should not have the liberty of ad dressing their countsymen hi any place where they might happen to Meet them: The Blectoirt ofliftue. asiassow had always bath in this habit otbiti= ' of their countrymen who chose to ladies' Itnd the liberty of doing so was never restricted. *ite would be sorry if such a rule were ton+ laid down, from any apprehension that the practice was likely' to encourage traitorous Meetings. No such result, he was confident, would take place, and all they now asked for was a clear stage and no favour. He should now proceed to address them on the subject of the Measures that were before Parliament, for abridging their liberties. On there melancholy' topics he hardly knew how to address them or what to say ; for Weiss dangerous to speak truly, and to speak falsely was impossible...(Loud applause). The present was a new era : a new system, which had often been protested against, but which the wisest men in the country had foreseen, was now about to take place ; and when the Bills, for the consideration of which they had met that day, wire passed into laws, a new system of go vernment, such as had never been contemplated by our forefathers, would be established in England---a sys. tem which it would require the patience of lob to ' endure—(Applastses). It therefore became the duty of the People to arrest the tyranny that was impend ing over them, and not to give the enemies of the country an opportunity of exercising those powers which they sought for. The object of the Bills new Wore Parliament vas to entrench on the undoubted and unalienable right which Englishmen had always exercised—tb entrench on the right 'of holding Pyb lic right which Nature had given to ill men, independent Of any Government; for - When GOD gave men the means ofcommunicating their thoughts to each *the, he sanctioned the right of such com munication. It was a right not derived from any Constitution or Government, but from same and rai son. He must say, that be was jealous of those rights, and would net give up an iota of them. No, mars reason existed no*, than ever there did for giving up those rights ; whiletheriWES more reason ban rear fair the exercise of than.

He 'tread now tell thbrri, . that the People of England had a right to be armed • for the preservation of their property, and that every , titan ought to be armedfor the preservation of die `public peace. 'This was the, first, time any attempt had been made in England to deprive men of the - tight of keeping arms. Some years ago the .rigfit was taken away from the People of Ireland: Their houses were entered. at all hours ' and their arms forciblf taken allay ; and he must be a dolt wh0:04.41 not know what. the ditelhl effects would be; if such a 'prtwer was to exist ia - Engiand. He hoped, however., that every -B would tias' e his Tina the talansity r was neiiitteriipted tai . be i on the, Country. The Members of both Houses df ,Parliament were new endeavouring to hurry the Bills through with such expedition, that the People of the Country would have no time to meet and petition 'against their eakettnent. There could be no pretence for such precipitation . as this; the storm which terri fied the Minister! was blown over.and no danger now presented itself. If the Ministers were so much afraid of danger that not a moment was to be lost fit taking measures against it, why did they Mx 'tall Parliament sooner ? Why was not Parliament calls immediately after the events which excited so hinted alarm? Instead of that, Parliament was called at a late period, and Bills unheard of in the history of the Country were introduced, -and hurried on in a manner which deprived .the. People of an op , portunity of meeting for the ',impose of petitioning against them—Lk/Aid cheers). He hoped, however, that were the - Bills even to pass with precipitation, and is their present odious form, the_ People *meld still :nett; and demand the restoration of their Con stitution—,(Bravo). He hoped, iwthis tat:Ming crisisishat men of all descriptions would be impressed with the necesity of adopting some principle of legal and constitutional resistance to the system of Administration that Was intended to be fastened cli ;the Country; that they *otild lay aside every kind cif politkal irritation, andunite in their efforts to obtain one great object, 'throat which, no good•could ever be done—he meant a fair and equal Representatich of the People in the House of Commons—(Loed end repeated a*esse—with cries tf gg We will, we rsilC j. —lt was their duty to try for something practicable, which resold be permanently beneficial to the People. 'He should not now presume to lay down any specifle • plan of Retbrm; but there must be a Refem whit It silseuld set. ridof the monstrous system of Bottnigh Ildereseetadtat that now prevailed in the country, and which should plate the elective franchise in thrthandt of men ) who, from their numbers, and stations in life, would not be liable to the influence of corruption', such as was now known to exist in many parts of the kingdom : such a Reform as should make the Menti. bers of the House of Commons the vigilant guardians of the People's rights —( Loud shouts of applause"). A disposition should exist every where to pay respect only to men who were distinguished for their honest , / and integrity, whatever their rank in life might be and to treat none with disdain but those who had disgraced themselves by their political apoitacy and their corruption. The ptactice, however, with me* in power was, to set one part of the People against ;mother, acting Upon the old maxim, that they sild 'divide in order r subjugate. Ain& and discord were excited rftpecdng those called Radical Refottais ors; and if . the best friends of the Constitution could be . set: at Variance with those persons, and Mader to neglect Axe rights of the 'People, the Ministers would sit secure in the polseision of thArpoweriand laugh at all whom they had divided and deluded.a..
