PP - tiaavy distress—that it was the hirthtight cf wen to petition for redress, and that the opinion, respecting the remedy best stilted to their condition • most be vatious. For his own part he. had always thought the most judicious cr.urse to be tins— to state plainly and foicibly the onderiiahle luxes and abuses, and to letve the seinetly to the P.rliament. In the Resulutiou now hcfore the Livery it was framed in the must uneaceptionable manner they could devise. 'I hey had nut stated that trien nial Parliatrents were fuel - 4.11011e. hot that tlyise As. scioblies should be eisttre! far a time, at any rare not ex-a:edi.ig direst mil.. It hal be. Is used as an aro mesa to the Livery, that 500,i •00 men road signed a Petition te annual Parliaments. He was pleased that they had perimned—Con fotbid that he shoul i ef Llaahr ti.cni that they differed from hint. But were the Livery to be trecea into the same track because other meetings had thonht at to tale: i? It the naderstanditigs of the Livery differed from those of the other Ktstioners, it was hard that they were to he obliged implicitly to follow the authority of the Pe titiou, to which so many aignattires had heeo pert med. The gte it principle of Itetrum eels an extension of the elective franchise, and an exclusam Irom the Htuie of Commons of wagons lioldir:g places and perwi-us. Am ng the Members of the House of Commons' arioo,imat was now cloud:toted yearly in salaries oi l differ , nt kinds. and though this sum was not great. compared %shit the whole amount of the nati ,•, na t ex.! penditure, when distrihut.'d among a few hundred ' and coujo•incd with the power of appointing to all situations in the Aim), Navy, and Colopies, and • to all the Dignities of the Chinch, it created MCI) an Influence, that utiihr r annual nor trieri , ,ial Parlia penis could resit it while it esireed.-- [Applause.] There was only one point which he would ask then, individually to consicer. It these checks upon the Crown, an extension of elective Iraitchise, the ex clusion of placemen from the House of Commons, and the reduction of Pailiareeits to three years, mad be ( beamed, was there a rational man who would not then brew to the decision of the H *use ?—[Applause.] In codecring the voice of a country' like this, there was no one, he believed, who would wish property to I* left out of consideration. It was a satisfaction which tray man looked forward to'in the acquisition propeity, that he should be able to exercise some inhurnce, that his wee should he of some avail in the guidance of the country. There were in this country two millions of householders; of these who' bad signed the petitions for annual Pailiamenis hit, did nut know what part were housekeeper.; he feared no great part, for no counties had moved. Was it not I:.en an advaiitage ru add the influence of men of weight to the presenc advocates ot Reform ? If these on it Came. tore:aid in the cause, they were en titled to Wale respect. If they were hot alloy% ed to dictate to the weavers (who had displayed much ta lent certainly) at least the weavt rs shoule: n• t be al lowed to dictate to them. He thought the !osh and Unaccommodating spirt those who !rad led the pe . titioneis of the working classes, was one great cause which had prevented the higher rants also hoot co • operating in the cause. It was d;sgracehal to the Re. 'omen that they should waste su inudi time in aver sing one another, instead of combating their enemies. The question was not worn out. it.was of that mag nitude and• interest that it would take months to con . siderit in all its bearings. There wets many who staid • tl.e Haase of Commons was still good enough 'hie all practical porpowi. Yet there were some of • the very pawn. who held this language, who bad been ta:r years oh), rung t the measures prposed by limiter., as ruinou. in the country ; and nntwith blending this . , with the truth (as they thought) on their *de, and certainly with great talents to aid the 'truth, they had never made any impression upon the • House. " nom - this (it was said) ye shall know theta." There had been one occasaiit, the only one of the least consequence, in which the Administration had been foiled. the repeal of the Income Tax. But what was the nature to the conviction then produced is tlr House ? An adherent of the Ministers had been heated to say iu the lobby, alter that divisio4l - :Oh vote has saved me de.sl/00 a year." There was another point by which they -might lot m•a jisdr,- rant of the House ad Collinianb-ap.it was the Cantina • et their own keptesentatives t As they were very • delicate persons, he should handle them very deli cately. The Hall had, however, a right not only to • enqutte into their past conduct. hit also into what tey meant hereafter to Jo. An Honourable Baronet (Si W. Curtis) had lot years together supported all ttte measures 44 Pitt ; and when Mr. Addington came into power, he suppeated him in opposition to Pitt. Wtm, on one occastoe, with a piteatis,look and• a mournful tonv,.cleclaeed—" I never was without the support of that Hout.urable Baionet while I had any thing to give away."—( A laugh.)—Somehow or other, in the tithe oh Mr. Addington, that Honourable Beronet had a pl,ce of 10 or £el2oo a yew elven to • his bs other. V hen Lord Grenville came icto power be Was ale.) invited to dine with the HolsOlitab.r Beg. nner a' Southgate. How these sudden, instantaneoos. . multi to) convictions were prodoc.:d. it _was hard to guess; pLthaps the lionoutable batortst would ca ptain to than. Sit W. CLarrts here rose to order, but- the Lord Mayor decided that it was competent to the Livery on such an occcasiou to canvass the conduct of their kepi, seutatives.. Mr. Warritatax continued.—. They had met to consider the state of the Representation—to complain of corrupt intinence. Was it then out of place to Prove that there was sometrang like corruption in the ,'tempers of the House ,For it was most extraordi nary, that if the Administration should change to. . morrow, and Vie Whigs were to adopt all the mea• tures of retrenchwent they now recommended, the Hanottialde Baronet would assist them with all his power. Yet the Representative who was found thus st: commodating, had always iitlitied upon his right of going to the House utishtsckled. "Good Gore," he would say:, •' shall I decide/belt to tel bear the goes- titan ttebatedt ; '—(A l.tugh and appladbe.)—On - one occasion. he midi however. said;ll Wish so Gin th e y woolll divide firg, and debate afterwards! , j,s gnu : fhra Oice the Honourable Bato:et had &A id, t h at those who talked id Reform mean: ltevoliair.a.

If they meant titat is extend 'the elective franchise. to destroy aur - suet Wilmette 'tras a Revaltsuae was dale a man who beard hitn who would not vote for such a Rev°. lotion ?----(Appirere.)--iTo say that such a Reform I would destroy the Constitution, strewed the greitnt ignorance of the Constitution.. It was not the Con stitittion which these enemies of Reform meant, but the hideous practices which sheltered themselves under that vi rt r able name. When Mr. Woke &fended the f tnerican Colonies against unconstitutional taxation, he WAs answered, that America was tepresented as much as Manchester and Birmingham. Whet said Mr. Burke 2 Our American tellow.subjects claim the benefits of the Constitution. a. .1 you spew them its shameful pmts. It was the shamanl pails of the Constitution which these enemies of Reform meant— ' (490/aere).—There was one argument which these ' men should answer. It was a bad Constitution could not stand on its own legs. The people, by the principles of the Constitution, should be a check on the Members of the House. Was it so, in fact, when sevtnteen Members elected themselves.-whet' 1501 were put in by Peers- -and when a majority of the House was returned by 154 indivieuals ? Was ! thi s the inte n tion of o ur ancestors ? W as t hi s t h e spi / sit of. the Constitution ? Nu. Restore the Constito 6. n to its genuine principles, and let it endure tor' I ever. To tell us that it would be endangered by sweeping away these imperfections was a gloss and 1 tintounded libel un the Constitution. The ttiends of I Reim m were now called jacubins, seditious persons, enemies to the country. Yet at every moment when the country had been threatened with invasion, those who now said they were not to be trusted, had pot arms into their hands. The Magistrates at Man chester, who traduced their neighbours as a seditious I rabbl-i, would readily atm this sedition's ralMe if An !enemy app'eared. Were they to be trusted with their ' rights ? The people would be satisfied with some-, thing less than their right—! No, from some persons.) He meant that.when the people were persuaded that their object in detbanding Reform was substantively answered, they would be satisfied. Till that time they would go up with fetitior,s, which in such a cause were demanded. The words of the Petition of Right were, "we demand and insist." As to the argument against triennial Parliaments, that a Parliament of that nature had voted itself sep tennial, it was entirely worthless, for it might be said that an annual Parliament might vote itself triennial. Indeed, there would be no security fur either, unless an extension of the elective franchise were made a previous condition, and unleis placemen were excluded from the House. ' The Act of Settle ment, by which the present family were seated on the I throne, ordered that all placemen should be excluded from the House, but it had now been said that it was sufficient that they s h ould vacate their seats on ac cepting any office, so that their constituents might choose whether they would re-elect them. But, of what avail was this with such persons 23 his neigh &Jur (Sir Mark Wood) who was both the elector and representative of the Borough of Gatton? It was obviously a fraud and delusion. Mr. Waithman cnncloded by observing; that as the object of the Re formers should - be to obtain the co-operation of the landed proprietors, and to spew them that their inte rests are identified with those of the people, and not to put forth demands which would never be complied with; he should oppose the Amendment. 'Mr. Hircsitsis observed, that the Livery had an arduous duty to perform, placed as they were be tween the mob who demanded every thing, and the Ministry who would grant nothing. He siNgested, to avoid all differ: uteri, that the words of the Resolution should be gs Parliaments of a Constitutional duration." Mr. Huar.—Nothing had been said that argued against his motion for Annual Parliaments. The Worthy Gentleman (Mr. Waithman) had applied in ' teener to him, and when he found it would not do, turned with great ingenuity to a more vulnerable character—(A laugb)—and gave a johtiox to the Worthy Alderman.—( Loud laughter and applause.) The attack was not only enteru:ning but just ; but it had not destroyed the principle of annual Parliaments. The Amendment was thetiput tti the'vote ' and being rejected by a great majority; the original Resolution was carried, _ _ Theodor Resolutions were carried unanimusly. A Petition, founded on the Resolutions, was read, a'nd ordered to be signed by two Aldermen and l 2 Liverymen, in the name of the Meeting ; and it was resolved that some Lord of Parliament be requested to present it to the House of Peers. It was then resolved unanimously, on the motion of Mr. JACKS, that the Members far the City should present the petition, and support the prayer of it. Sir W. CURTIS came forward and observed. that he felt it his duty to present any Petition they en trusted him with, but that he could not support Par liamentary Reform. He believed Parliament, formed as it was, was as pure a body as could he got. [The Honouralle Baronet war interrupted by a great noise of groans and his s es.] Wh e t d o y ou ma k e a el* about ? (said the Henourable Baronet).—l have a right to be Leard—l cannot vote for this Petition, id I shall nut. (You are sold to the Ministers, said a Liveryman in the crowd). No, Sir es no, Sir, I asp rid% The Honourable Baronet was here interrupted by so great a noise that the Lord Major came forward,l And said he hoped the Livery, in their impartiality,. would hear the Representative who had 'geed them so many years.—[" Served himself rather," said many vraces.] 4 ‘ He wishes thew you that he has 11 err ed you, and you will judge whether he succeeds." Sir W. CURTIS concluded. I cannot support the Petitian I am about to present : I am sorry for it." Sir bilIS SHAW observed, the Petition embraced two distinct subjects—Retrenchment, comprising aboli tion of Sinecures; and a Referat in the House of Corn. mons. Tile first object be eras and should continue -ta be friendly rot the second he could nee, after the best attention he had given the subject, support.— (Hhim.) He was convinced, that as even pow the expense of an election was great, in the event of their frequent recurrence the charge would become enor n.ous.7-( no ; that is what we wish le prevail.) Men of mocerate fortune would be driven Irwin the Hour, and the people would be thrown into the hands ot the richest of the aristocracy-- (No; hisses.) Alderman *trims eould neither say whether be would or would not support the Petition. M. WAITLISIAN..... No subterfuge ; say whether you will.or will not." Alderman ATILUIS" Tel lot de rol, lid de rol tel." (Hissing and hooting.) Mr. Watrusiesu said, that it was very estraortii nary, that dm Worthy - Alderman who so often said LONDON.

PUBLIC MEETING IN THE CITY. A Meeting was yesterday held at the London Ta vern by same of the principal merchants; bAnkers, and traders of the city, to consider of the propriety of making a declaration of their sc-itiments at the present crisis a but, althou;.ol the intentioli of this meeting was but partialiy known, the spontaneous, attendance was so nemerous that it was resolved to proceed to business a and Sir Roaster %%Times, But. bone called to the chair, stated, that this was a meeting not indeed quite the first, as A very few gen tlemen met yesterday, and he was thereby enabled to be prepared with a declaration to submit to those present. The Declatation was then read l.y Mr. William Holden, first at the head of the table, anJ then again lower down the room, that all might distinctly hear it. Hitanv PETERS, Esq. then roar. and observed, that he could not but feel persuaded that the Declaration just read would meet the approbation of every loyal man, every wellwisher to his country. He even A it tered himself that there was not a man is the country. however misled, who could object to it. It was a de claration which recent notorious 'excesses tendered imperatively necessary.. Under such circurnstan;es loyalty would indeed be refniss if it did not sheer' hself. The city of London aught, above ail, n•ar to he tardy in manifesting its indignation of the late disgraceful proceedings. He therefore kit confident that the . declaratiam would be so numerously aig.ied as idsosild rescue the metropolis from an imputation of nst disapproving Ahem, and hoped that the present declaration would afterwards be lodged in the Power' as a public record o► the loyalty of the merchants, bankers, traders, and, other inhabitants of the metro polis of the United Kingdom. • Mr. Permit dun :waved, that the Delaration now read be adopted for signature.
