MIDDLESEX MEETING. Yesterday the Freeholders — Of Middlesex assembled at the Mermaid Tavern, Hackney, pursuant to a Se qUisition for a Meeting of the County, to take into consideration the propriety of applying by Petition to the Legislature for a Constitutional Reform'Of the Representation of the People in Parliament, as a fit basis of all measures, haying for their objects ie trenchment in the public expenditure, a reduction of debt, relief from the pressure eon taticesiary lion, or a redress of all other grievances. 'Before the Meeting actually took place an attempt w3s made to prevent a discordance of opinion in the Resolutions .to be submitted to the Freeholders, and with that intention Mr. P. Moon' proposed thatthe Committee, who had - one set of Resolutions to sirb mit, and _Major CARTWRIGHT, who had another, should decide previously to the Meeting which set of Resolutions ought to be exclusively brought for ward. Some discussion in consequence took plate in the Committee-room, but the effort to produce unanimity ended, as it often does, in a more resolute determination of both parties to support their respec tive sentiments. At one o'clock the Sheriffs opened the Meeting, and the hustings were occupied by the. Committee and others, among whom were perceived Mr. WHIT BREAD...M.P. Mr. BYSG, M.P. Mr. P. M ooRE, M.P. the Rev. Mr. DRAPER, Major CAIITWRIaLIT, Mr. BOWRING, Mr. Lucas, the High Sheriff, adverted to the terms of the Requisition, which made a Reform in Parlia ment the basis of all measures proposed for the re moval of the' national grievances, and added, that the most zealous advocate -for the present system could not deny that the-asriculturists were labouring under very great hardships, but there was a differ. ence of opinion as to the most effectual mode of re lief. To some it appeared that the most efficient re medy would be a Reform in Parliament—(Near, hear). That opinion had been supported and op posed by the greatest and most enlightened characters which this country had ever produced; and he hoped, therefore, that the Meeting would give a patient hearing to those who advocated both sides of the question, as men might conscientiously differ upon it, and that such conclUct would give the greater im portance and respectability to their proceedings, and would be most worthy the character of the Metropo litan Count y heai.). He felt k his duty, how• ever, to state the opinion of himself and his colleague was, that relief to the country might be obtained with out. Parliamentary Reformation (Applause and hisses). He was convinced that the proceedings in Parliament on the previous night supported his assertion, for it appeared, by the reported speeches, tha; the Govern- mein of this country deprecated the shameful' and disgraceful attack which was made at this moment by certain Powers upon the independence of Spain— (Applause).—Such a sentiment was received in the Legislature, as he felt it must be 'throughout the country, with universal joy and satisfaction—(Hear). —lt appeared also from the King's Speech and the debate, that there would be a considerable reduction in the burdens of the country, particularly in the as sessed taxes. He felt obliged to the Gentlemen re-' sent for the manner in which they had received his, Observations ; and he only wished to assure them fur ther, and be believed they would give him credit for it, that it was not his desire to stifle inquiry. One of the greatest and most estimable privileges which En o-Jr:nen enjoyed was the freedom of discussing their grievances, and this they ought to exercise fearlessly and impartially—(Applause). The Under-Sheriff - then read the Requisition. • Major CARTWRIGHT came forward, and was fa vourably received. lie said that the first thing he had to mention was the receipt of a letter from a Mr. Clarke, who apologised for not being present at a Meeting in support of Reform, on account of a do mestic calamity. He then proceeded to say, that in this most important crisis of the country, he hoped the Meeting would listen patiently to all opinions, and agree to the terms of the best Petition. They would observe that the ground of the Requisition was Itef.irm, as the basis of any measure of relief which might be adopted for the salvation of the country. He would not then trouble the Meeting with a reca pitulation of all the monstrous grievances under which the country laboured. Their business was to tonsider not only the luestion of relief at present, 'ut security and prevention for the future—(Applause). The Sheriff had stated, that relief might be obtained by some other mode than that of Reform, but our grievances were all grand ones, and they arose from the main evil, that the People were not represented— (Cheers).—lf the country were relieved from every tax now pressing upon it, there was no security that the same system would not be begun again. He would illustrate this by an instance, At Oise period,. the State of Genoa was -groaning- under the taxes in flicted by Government; among the rest there was a. tax on salt, and every family was obliged to ,pur chase a certain quantity, but a man who had amassed gi eat riches died, and left his money for the relief of, the people from this tax. The tax %sits accordingly abolished, but the moment after it was done away,. the Government began again —(Hear, and laughter): He (Major Cartwright) held it impossible to point out a remedy for the existing grievances, unless it was founded on some knowledge of the Constitution, because the departure from its principles had pro duced all the national evils now complained of; nor could they return to a better state without restoring the' principles of ancient Government, that they might be a free geople once more—(Applause).— r The principal ground' of grievance Was the enormous pressure of taxation ; and here he would take leave to state a circumstince in illuitration: - In a work published some years ago, it was proved, that, froth the first year of the reign of 'King. William the First, commonly called the Conqueror, to the last year of the reign of George the Second, which comprehended about 700 years, the Government had not expended ,in principal money more than 800 millions, whereas, during the reign of George 111. alone, the Govern anent had expended more than WO millions--(Hter). That would not hate hippened if the country had 40460 Its ancient Goverdmenf and a free Represen 0400—(Applause).—T7he only points now necessary to develope.wern two,, (tom 'which he traced ax great Operating causes.the evils of our day. It• was worth observation, that prior. to the Revolution, the reses,of the Stale were within the tesourcn of the .~...«.~ ..h 1• year ; so that for debt prelPiously contracted there' gras s 'trot a - shilling of*tax!..- (Hear, .hear)—but now taxes were paid for the tautest of about 800 millttini annually, and they owed all this to aT spats* hi ta- ' 4otir of ithicliinuch hadbeen Slid *ith some plan ,Obilitt, which 'las, -bnwever, 'bad in its own nature. file spoke of the Funding Systein-L(Ehee, hear.)' He - did '.tiot. wish to recommend anything injurious to public faith, his own income was in the Funds ; it was placed' there • by. - persons over 'Wham he had no controul. There were others who were de luded; and thought the system a vary good one. ' The subject was worthy of consideration ; but before he iecemmended any mode of relief touch ing the Funds, he was of opinion' that a ge neral review ought to be had of all possible measures for relieving the community, and such - a plan ought to be adopted as would be a union of jus tice tempered with benevolence, not in the slightest way injurious to any individual in particular, but in suring the contribution of all classes according to their means—(Hear, hear).—He then proceeded to state, that on the preceding night, some Members of the Committee who had taken an honourable part in the election of their present Members, called upon him, with a view to procure his concurrence to their Petition ; one of the Gentlemen smilingly said, that there was but a slight shade of difference between them. But he (Major Cartwright) was always a plain speaker, and a plain dealer; he was in the habit of expressing in distinct terms that which he thought right ; but those Gentlemen, from habitual prudence, and what they considered discretion, wished to speak to Parliament in general and undefined terms, and most civilly to ask them if they world be good enough to grant Reform(A laugh).—He would shew the injurious consequence of such general language. In the time of the Revolution the Petition of Right was drawn up by Parliament on behalf of the People, and in that they eame,demanded, 'and insisted on the rights and liberties of the subject, but unfortunately they never specified in what those rights and liberties consisted.— Since which time Ministers were enabled to call this the Constitution and that the Constitution, and any thing they pleased--(Hear, and a laugh).—ln the year 1795, when Mr. Burke incited the public mind in fa vour of the war against France, Paine answered him in his work called The Rights of Man. For the me mory of Paine he (Major Cartwright) had great re spect, as far as it was associated with his efforts in favour of political liberty—(Gred disapprobation and applause). Paine had been instrumental in saving the liberties of America—(Cries of " We want no Tom Paine," with someapplause).—in the year 1795, that i person, whose name appeared to be so displeasing to. them, had told the peciple of England that they had no Constitution. He then. challenged Mr. Burke or any other person to produce the Constitution of land, if any such existed—(Cheers and hisses).—From that time no writer had been able to tell us in -what , that consisted: • This happened because that religion was not laid, down and written for theinforthation of themselves and their child ren--(Applause}.—so mueh for one of the great causes of the evils which they experienied. When he was asked to contribute to unanimity on this subject, he stated that he could not do so, because unanimity expressed a similarity of mind ; -and he could never be of the same Mind with those who thought the evils of the country ought not to be specified--(llenr, hear).-Me (hen went into the history of the state of the British Par- liathent &Orb to the time of the Revolution ; but this part of the spied) Seattle JO rediotis to hit midi tors, that they commenced coughing so lotitily as , ta call for the interference of Mr. Sheriff Thompson to procure him a patient hearing. The Major then re sumed hii speech, and, after some further observa• tions, conclUded by moving the following Resolutions: " Resolved—That much catamity having been experienced in consequence of the people of this realm not being constitution ally represented ill Parliament, a defect which may In a great degree be ascribed to an omission at the period of the Revolution in 1688, when, in the Bill of Rights, Parliaments° emphatically ' claimed, demanded, and insisted upon the rights and liberties of the people,' but unfortunately omitted to specify in What they more pre-eminently consisted ; it is, in the opinion of this Meet ing, become necessary to declare, that, in their judgment, in order to reinstate our sacred Constitution on its 'true principles; that so, henceforth the people may be in real possession, and in the actual enjoyment of those 'r ig hts and liberties which ,: at the period aforesaid, were only indefinitely declared, the elections of Representatives and the duration of Parliaments ought to be as follows ; " 1. That all males, at the time when by adult age they become entitled to inherit such right and 'property* in land, goody or chattels, as may be theirs by the laws of man, may at the same time, as equals in the eye of theft CII*A les, likewise enter into full possession and the actual enjoyment, of that superior and snore tacrcd right and property which by the law of Goo belongs to them, as. intellectual, moral, and responsible beings, endowed with a sense of right and wrong, and free will for choosing be tween good and evil, by which inherent, superior, and sacred right they are evidently entitled equally to share in. electing and appointing those persons who are to make laws which must have power over their liberties, their lives, and properties, and conse quently by causing to them prosperity or adversity, happiness or misery. " Z. That the Legislative Representation of the People may be chosen in and by districts as equally populous as may be practi cable, without inconveniently subdividiag 'parishes, wards, or other subsisting divisions of the population. 3. That not only in recognition of ancient salutary usage, but likewise for completely securing to .the people universally the sacred right of representation as they successively attain adult age ; as well as for erecting a strong barrier against the horridly tyrannical and ruinous practice of taxing unborn generations, and, thereby crushing liberty in the very egg, the representatives of the people be chosen annually. a 4. That as a right to an end includes a right to the inetnu; and as no man ought to be exposed to ruin or ' persecution for freely voting, the elections ought to be by ballot. ' The Rev. Mr. DRAPER seconded the Resolutions. The question of Reform was at all times important, but it was now more so than ever, becatise it was better understood, better supported, and had better prospects of success. The Reverend Gentleman then pointed out some of the abuses in the present State of representation, particularly the corrupt influence of , Ministers, which was admitted by them to as no torious as the sun at noon-day ; and which proved the truth of Sir Robert .11‘ alpole's• assertion, that “. every man had his price." The baneful unco of Ministers had extended even to h mxelf(Mr.Pt ape?) as it had to Sir Robert Wilson. He had been em ployed by the Chaplain of the Ist Regiment of Hose Guards, as his deputy ; but Colonel Lygon,.the Com mending Officer, who thought that all, Clergymen were Tories, asked bat if he was the Mr. Praper . vrhe l bad spoken at. Hackney? He seid he Ives., The' Colonel insinediately wrote to the Chaplain, ta pro cures another :deputy.

Magistrates, because bekisad s e lasitishut:444l- diesel ‘li Mr • Whitbread's election eto Parlialient ; and after en forcing his reasons fbr the necessity of Rassfical Re form, he concluded by seconding the Resolutions. Mr. B:oo said, that although he took *different view of the mode of. Reform that was most eligible from the Gentlemen who had just preceded him, yet that which be was about to propose was ase which was tangible and specific, although it was not An nual Parliaments. He combated the arguments used by the preceding speakers in favour of Universal Suffrage, &c. and contended that the mode of Re form which was described in the Resolutions he was about to move as an Amendment was the most de sirable—namely, that every individual housekeeper paying assessed taxes should have a vote in the elec tion of a Representative in Parliament; that the Par liament be of only three years' duration; that place -men and pensioners be not allowed to sit in the House of Commons; and that all corrupt Boroughs be dis franchised. He concluded by moving as an Amend ment the following Resolutions : I. That the present constitution of the Commons House of Parliament is nototiously corrupt and detective, and a body not electively representing the People of England, or the watchful guardians of their rights and liberties. . That the corruption and venality of Parliament have not only been offered to he proved at the bar of the House, but openly avowed and shamelessly defended by the advocates of profligate government ; and that it has been incontrovertibly demonstrated that the great majority of the Members of the Commons House of Parliament is composed of Placemen, Sinecurists, and Pensioneis, Nominees of Peers, and nominal Representatives of Rotten Boroughs, whilst the interests of the great body of the People art either neglected or basely sacrificed. 3. That the distress which has of tate years, and which at the present time afflicts the country, as well as the daring and flagi tious villations of the rights of Englishmen, are to be attributed to the want of a Reform in Parliament, whereby wicked and unprincipled Ministers have prosecuted their career of misgo vernment with the most disastrous and monstrous impunity. 4. 1113 t it is the decided opinion of this Meeting that there can be no permanent relief from the pressure of the evils which now affect the country, or any satisfactory security for the remaining rights of Englishmen, without a thorough and effec tual Reform of the Representation in the Commons House of Parliament. 5. That the Petition now read be adopted by this Meeting, and signed on its behalf by the High Sheriff, and that the same be presented to the House of Commons by George Byng, Esq. and Samuel Charles Whitbread, Esq. Members for the County, Who are instructed to support the prayer thereof. Mr. tiglioEß seconded the amendment. Mr. MALLET deprecated what might be called a kind of paper warfare upon the mere mode of pro teeding, when they were all agreed upon the object. This disubion would no doubt reach- :the ears of the corrupt Ministers; and the venal Press would make the most of it. It would be admitted by everybody in that room, that the country was pressed down bylfeavy grievances, for which the only remedy was lteform, in order that our complaints . might be heard in Par liament. One argument used against Reform by the present House of Commons war, they were willing to hear us if we expressed our feelings. But how ' were - these feelings to be expressed ?. At York, the other day, a Petition was adopted and signed by Lord Milton, that best friend to . his country ; and other re speeteble men; yet when that Petition should come before Ministers, they would say it was not the Petition of the People of the county itif lit,,the ° Petition ttf Mr.Wooler, because that Gentleman ably supported thecause of Reform there. So the Petition of the county of Norfolk they would call the Petition of Mr. Cobbett. And the Somersetshire Petition they would call .Mr. -Hunt's, because he so .vrell defended the cause there; although he (Mr. Mallet) could hardly believe that it was the same gintlimin Who 'delivered his senti ments at another Meeting in the same County a week afterwards. They (the Meeting) had split upon a mere trifle. Would they have annual o; triennial Parliaments (Cries of " 'annual," and others of " triennial.") He thought it mattered little which they asked for. (A voice in the crowd, "Ask for a great deal, and you may get a little, perhaps"—(A laugh). —For his (Mr. Mallet's) part, he was for asking for annual Parliaments; but, rather than that there should be any disunion between them, he would say, " Give us triennial Parliaments, and let us try them." Mr. MILLS, after being questioned as to his being a Freeholder of the County, and stating that he was, supported Major Cartwright's resolutions. Mr. GALLOWAY also opposed the amendment, as being calculated to blink the question; and expressed his wish that it should be withdrawn. Mr. Wooten did not regret the shade of 'difference in the modes of redress proposed to the Meeting, con vinced, as he was, that the more the subject was dis cussed, the greater was the certainty that they would all come to the resolution, that where GOD had made no difference between men, it were presumptuous in man to make it. He did not know if the Gentlemen present knew the tender points of that animal, the House of Commons, better than he did ; but for the, last thirty years the moderate Gentlemen bad goaded and goaded, and trimmed the goad, and goaded and goaded again ; and still the animal remained in the same position, as obstinate and mulish as ever— ( Hear).—lt was agreed by these Gentlemen that , they might steal a march upon the enemy ; but it was hardly to be expected that•they could get a spy , into his camp, and blow up the citadel of St. Stephen's —(llear, hear).—Stopid as he thought them ,he knew them to lae too cunning for that. He argued, that the meanest individual was entitled to the privilege of voting in the election of his Representative, and re plied to t h e genera l, adduced against Uni- SulDage„ in' doing wh e iCh• New "Nit, inoATerica, Parliaments would not be plejudicid bj tbai ado f, tion by the Meeting. Mr. Bytto,.on presenting himself to the 14eeg et i r. was received with applause. When he presented , Petition of the Meeting to the House of Cone eas t cswould wish to have it in his power to say, th at k mveyed the undivided opinion of his Constitoems. He was fondly attached to the Centtitntion of country, which he believed to by Olt tivokcaicuuj t 4., II otirnt-that had *oft teen afellitrar 1 1413 aratingt happiness of the people who-rived , under it, purest).

Mr. Wuvranzao thought it highly desirable the* the Meeting should be unanimous in the expres e i t t a . of its opinion on the present occasion, whiCh wasp,* haps the most favourable that could be faint fee urging the question of Reform. Iu 1792, Mr. Pitt said that the friends of Reform would only do hare by agitating the question at that period, beciase the country was in a flourishing state, and the People would not support them ; and he proceeded to lay that the best time for bringing the question forward would be when the nation was in a state of bank. ruptcy. If Mr. Pitt's opinion were correct, the pre sent moment must surely be considered favourable to the agitation of the question ofßeform ; for he wouU aweal to every person present, whether the coontsy had ever before, in the merUory of its oldest inhabit ants, been in such a state of extreme distress? Having made those observations, it only remained for him to say that he should feel it his . duty to present the Pe tition which the Meeting might adopt to the House. Mr. Sheriff LUCAS then put the question on the amended Resolutions. The shew of hands appea r ed nearly alike, both'in the affirmative and negative, be the Sheriff declared that the Resolutions were carried. This annunciation elicited a storm of applause aid disapprobation. \Vhen the tumult subsided, Mr. MILLS read a dom. ment founded on Major Cartwright's resolutions. k was of a most extraordinary length.. The Meeting heard about.a fourth part with exemplary patience, but, growing tired of the matter, they received the remainder with laughter or disapprobation. The Petition having been carried, Mr. May, proposed that the Sheriffs should sign it. Mr. Sheriff Lucite said, he had discharged' h'it' duty as Sheriff, he trusted, impartially; but he would not sign the Petition, because he did not approve of Annual Parliaments and Universal Suffrage—(CCs. mour).—He trusted that, as a Freeh. !der of Middle sex, the Meeting would allow him the privilege which they themselves enjoyed—that of acting according* his own opinions—A*loe sad hisses)—The Mali ing then dispersed..
