That the unparalleled amount of taxes, caused by the Conduit-street, February 13,1312- boundless extravagance with w hi c h ' t he war was conducted, and the undue influence necessary to the support of Ministers, exceeds the sum of one million of pounds sterling for every six working days in the year, or one hundred and eighty thousand pounds for every such day in the year. 6. That the intolerable burden of taxation, and the conse quent misgovernment to which these Realms have been subjected have greatly abridged the peoples liberties--leaded the country with a standing army in time of peace—driven many of fel luw.•subjects in Ireland into a state of desperation—nearly ruined commerce—caused a rapid decay of trade—injnred manufactures —depressed agriculture--increased the Nora' Rate to an amount nearly equal to that of the whole public revenue fifty years ago.-- reduced the circumstances of all the useful part of the communiy —made nearly one in seven of the *hole population a pauper— and brought the greater part of the most intelligent, most indus.. trious, and most virtuous people in existence to a state bordering on despair. Your Petitioners are fully satisfied that these enormous and still increasing evils would none of them have existed, hadlhe People been fully reprtuentedln the M o use of Commons, ' i. ; Tour Petitioners allege— • 1. That the Habeas Corpus Act, the safeguard of our liberties,' has been several times suspended for considerable periods of time. 2. That attempts have been made against the lives of our fel low-subjects by constructive tmsons. 3. That by recent Acts of Parliament, the long-practised and highly useful right of the People to meet to Petition the King, or either House of Parliament, has been in all cases greatly re stricted, and in many totally prevented. 4. That by the same Acts the Liberty of the Press Ins been greatly infringed upon, and new and unheard of punishments, even to the extent of banishment, have been denounced. 5.• That by the same Acts the Power of holding to bail, and of infi:cting very severepunishments, has been given to Justices of the Peace, for what they may, in their opinion, deem libels; and that heavy punishments have been inflicted in cases in which the parties so punished have, by a Jury of their country, been acquitted of all crime. Tour Petitioners believe that none of the causes of complaint would have existed had the Members of the House of Commons been elected by the great body of the people. Your Petitioners allege,- 1. That peaceable citizens have been attacked by Soldiers ;• that numbers have been slain ; and that upwards of 400 men, women, and children have been at one time wounded or other- Wise injured by such an attack. 2. That notwithstanding the notoriety of this atrocious out. rage, no public iniquity has been made, but that the perpetra tors of the atrocity have been thanked by 3linistets and other wise rewarded. 3. That still more recently two of our fellow-subjects have been shot in the public streets; that an Inquest has on oath de clared one of those shootings to be a Manslaughter, and thp other a Wilful Murder, by Life Guardsmen, but no effort has been made by those in authority to bring either of the persons so accused to justice. Your Petitioners ire satisfied that none of those atrocities would have been committed, laze the House of Commons been composed of Members elected by the great body of the People. Your Petitioners have no hope of relief from what is called economical retrenchment; they are satisfied that retrenchment to an extent calculated to relieve the people is utterlyincompa tible with the system pursued by Ministers • and which must continue to be pursued by whomsoever the Ministers; may be administered, until a thorough Reform be made in your lip. nourable House. Your Petitioners are well aware of the evils caused by a nue tuating value in the currency. They know that it was impossi ble for Ministers to have kept their places, bad the currency been suffered to continue Its a state of depreciation in time of peace • and to this circumstance it is that your Petitioners attri bute Ale measures taken to restore the paper currency to an equal value with gold. Your Petitioners are fully persuaded that so long as your Ho. nourable House shall continue to be composed of Members not chosen by a majority of the Freemen of these realms, so long will the country be liable to all the evils which must ever attend a currency fluctuating in value; for experience forbids them even to hope that a House .f Commons not electtd by a majority of the peopleuf these Realms will ever refuse to the Minister for the tine being the power to debase the currency. Your Petitioners have felt and deplored the sufferings of all classes, caused by the misconduct they have pointed out; they deplore the sufferings just now more particularly inflicted on those employed in raising produce from the earth; but they are satisfied that a general deterioration of the circumstances of every description of persons will yet further take place, if the , system of governing hitherto pursued be persisted in ; and they do most respectfully declare their convicti n that the system will never be changed, nor any relief to the suffering people be given by any House of Commons, the Members of which are not returned by the free will of a majority of the people. Your Petitioners greatly fear, that unless a thorough Reform in your Honourable House speedily take place, a violent Revo lution may be anticipated. To prevent the evils we anticirate—to rectify as much as may be possible all errors—te put an end to all abuses—to tran quillize the minds of the people—and, as an earnest return to a wholesome state of things, we pray— That your Honourable House will take into your most se rious consideration the complaints and allegations contained in this Petition, and will cause an immediate and full inquiry to be made into the state of the Representation of the People in your Honourable House, with a view to a thorough Reform thereof. (Signed in the name and on L.half of the Meeting.) The following is the reply of tl:e Lord Lietitenant to the Address of the Inhabitants of Belfast:— , " You may be assured that I have undertaken the arduous det:es of this Government, with the same sentiments and the same principles which have guided my conduct through the whole course of my life, and which have recommended me to the gracious notice of our beloved litsu. No consideration tan be so interesting to me as the restoration of peace, tranquillity, and good order to Ireland; for which salutary• purpose it is be come most unhappily necessary to assert the authority of the law by the force of the State in some parts of the country•. But the solid foundations of permanent repose mutt rest on the general harmony and mutual kindness of our countrymen towards each other; this happy state of society it will be my duty to culti vate by an impartial administration of the executive power.

But, however hopeless your Peti tioners may it; tilis respect be, their duty to their suffering fel ltbv -couutrymn induces them once more most respectfully, yet Li plain and unadorned lanjuage, to lay before your Honourable House the heads of their numerous and well•grounded corn ph lots ; and to pray for that redress which it is easy for your H , nourabk Home to afford them. Your Tetitiorwrs assure your Honourable House, that it is w:.th great pain they come before your Honourable House whit 7atAncrcus allegations of misconduct, from which no Administra fun, and no House of Commons, during the last sixty years, col be exempted. Your Petitioners allege-- _ _ 1. That the Members of your Honourable House are re turned by a very small minority of the male population, and even by a very small minority of the householders a these a'ms. 2. That a majority cf the Members of your Honourable I House are returned by less than the one thousandth part of the vale adult population of these realms. That the means by which a majority of the Members of Ilo:iourable House are returned, are—the undue influence ci Pet:is—the undue influence of some very few wealthy per scns—the undue influence of the Treasury—the influence of terror, as it is in various ways exercised over electors, and by other modes and practices, all of which are inimical to free rice tien and good government; all of them calculated to_make your Honourable House an Aristocratical Oligarchy, instead of making it, as it should be, a Democratical Representation. Your Petitioners agree, that to the defective state of the Re- presentation of the People in your I lonourable House, is to be attributed most, if not the whole, of the evils with which the country has been and is afflicted.
