what they were„in the cultivator could not even then ra , ori tinder esisting circumstances — (Cries of " No, no ri—Could the Landed Proprietor shpNyt him i 4 ender such a state of things? He answered; No.'Could the Clergyman live under such a state of things ? He answered, No. Could the la bourer support himself and family upon ten shillings a-week, as lie did in 1792? No, certainly not. What, then, was the cause of all this? It was the enormous load of taxation by which the whole country was op pressed, but the Agricifatural Interest certainly more severely than any other portion of society. He held in his hand a se. ies of Resolutions, which he hoped they wouli Adopt. He could 'read them first, and then propose that they should he separately put to_the Meeting. He then read the following Resolutions: " 1. That the present alarming and distressed state of the Agricultural classes in this kingdom most inevitably and speedily 1:•ad to the utter ruin of the occupiers of the soil, and will even tually be most injurious to the owners of land, unless effectual measures be immediately adopted by Parliament to arrest its destructive progress. " 2. That it is the opinion of this Meeting that the most pro- bable, and therefore the most proper, means of affording relief, is to restore the Currency to the standard of value in existence • previously to, and at the time of passing the Cash Resumption Payment Act {commonly called Mr. Peel's Bill), as in reference to that standard of valqe nearly all thtexistikl contracts were made, and debts incurred, and the departure from which, if longer persisted in, must inevitably involve the whole Agricul tural community in one common ruin. . " 3. That no measures of relief can be permanent and effec tual, unless the. most rigid economy be enforced in every ge partment of the State, and the..expeuditure thereof, as Well naval as military, from the bead of the Executive down to the lowest offices of Government, be very materially reduced; mea sures, the adoption of which will relieve all classes from the overwhelming burden of taxation which now oppresses them, enable landlords to lower their rents, the Clergy their tythes, avid lessen the enormous Poors'-ram, and other heavy expenses, incidental to the occupancy and cultivation of the soiL " 4. That the present heavy and oppressive duty on malt ope rates greatly to the disadvantage of the Farmer, by reducing the consumption, and consequently the price of the barley ; and that the total a 'Whitton of that tax Is of vital importance to the Agricultural Interest. `• That a Petition, embracing all the foregoing objects, be addressed to each House of Parliament as early as possible in the next Session ; and that the Earl of Albemarle and the Earl of Orford be requested to present the same to the [louse of Lords, and the County Members to the House of Commons." G. Warsox, Esq. seconded the Resolutions. The Earl of ALBEMARLE came forward, and was received with the loudest applause. With respect to the distresses of the country, it was not, unfortu nately, necessary that he should say a single word— they spoke for themselves. They all knew and felt that ruin was hanging over them—(Hear).—What was the great cause of all our present calamities ? A paper currency. What was the remedy proposed? A return to a paper currency, by a repeal of this Bill. What the disease complained of? The issue of paper. What %% a, the remedy ? Why, the disease itself—(Hear, hear).-11 a man got bit by a mad dog, what was he to do to be cured ? Why, according to this principle, he must be bit by the same dig again !—(A laugh.) He had heard no argument in support of this repeal—his own argu ment v. as to him clear against it, and therefore he was strongly inclined to oppose the second Resolu tion. The great cause of their distresses was direct and (what was much less attended to) indirect taxa tion—(llear, hear).—To reduce this, Ministers must, as was stated in the third Resolution, retrench in every department of the'State, from the head down to the lowest office. He concurred in this; but here again was one thing in which he wished to make some little alteration. He meant the repeal of the Malt 'fax by itself. lie was anxious for the repeal cf that tax, and it must and would take place, but rot alone. I'he public distresses were general, the relief should be general also. It was his intention, therefore, to propose the repeal of the heavy imposts upon salt, soap, candles, and leather—CA GEN rimiran to the right of the Chair—" And all the other taxes"— A lauge.]—The Noble Earl proceeded : His great object was,' that taxation should be so seduced that these articles of consumption should be brought down to the price of corn ; not that the present taxes should be continued, and corn, by fictitious means, be forced up to the present prices of those articles. This was his view. Whether the proposed reduction would be' altogether sufficient he was not prepared to say, but he felt that it would be enough to begin with. He must say, however, that without a change of Minis try no permanent relief could be afforded to the coun-' try. His Lordship, after stating that he had no ob-' jection to the first Resolution, shortly pointed out the nature of the alterations which he intended to make in the others ; after which he proposed that the fol lowing amended Resolutions be read : " 2. That the amount of public expenditure, and consequently of public demands, by direct and indirect taxation, is the plain tmqupstionable cause cf our present sufferings, and that the only safe and practicable reedy is to be found in such a diminution of those demands as may enable the farmer to grow his produce at a reasonable rate, and thus equally spread the benefit of its in fluence through every class sat society throughout the kingdom. 0 S. That this diminution is, .to a very great extent, capahle of being instantly made with aut any public detriment whatever, by a rigid economy enforced in every department of the State, naval, military, and civil; from the head of the Executive down to the lowest offices of Government, relieving all classes from the overwhelming burden of taxation that so heavily oppresses them, enabnog Landlords to lower ti rants, and Clergymen and lea • prnpriators their tithes, and by improving the situation of the pour, lessening the amount levied for their subsistence. In short, reducing all the heavy and intolerable expenses now incidental to the occupancy and cultivation of the soil. 4. I hat though this Meeting, disavowing all selfish motives, and anxious only for the general welfare and prosperity, is wid th g to leave to the wisdom of Parliament the particular items upon which a reduction of taxation may be best made, yet it feels fiat tha repeal of one-half of the Malt Duty, together with t a z b t aty imposts upon Soap, Candles, Salt, and Leather, amounting.together to Five Millions and upwards, levied upon &Icicles closely connected with agriculture, zed ranki ng amongst the indispensable necessaries o f life, more especially call fur the most attentive consideration. That this Meeting feels itself compelled to urge its Re solutions with the greaser earnestness, from reflecting that six years of peace, the usual and only season in all countries for the reduction of those burdens which war imposes, and the nourish ment of public prosperity and individual wealth, have now passed away, not only without producing in this country any adequate relief, but that during this long period, Commerce has lan vaated, and Agriculture declined from cone degree of depression to another,till at last it has reached a crisis is which either some very important amelioration must take place, or a total derange mot of the whole marr and relations of society must ensue." The sixth Resolution was similar to the last of Mr. ThUrtell's Resolutions. During the reading of the Resolutions, a person as k e d—.. How is the National creditor to be paid ?" General WALPOLE said, his answer to this question was, that the public creditor ought not, and he hoped would tint be paid at the expense of the Landed In tomt. if the laud was reduced to a state of bauk-, rtiptcy, to ply the Funded Proprietor, it was but fair that the Funds should pay a proportion of the expense. The first Resolution (Mr. Thurtell's) was then put and carried unanimously. Mr. THURTELL shortly explained the reasons which induced him to support the second Resolution. The Earl of ALBEMARLE also explained.. Lord SUFFIELD rose amidst loud and repeated cheers. It appeared to him that there were but two re medies for the existing evil, one was an increased or remunerating price for their produce, and the other a removal of taxation. They must be relieved, not in small degrees ' but by wholesale. There must be a reduction of five millions of taxes per year, or else they would do nothing. Taxation was oppressiveand burdensome in itself, but it was tenfold more mis chievous,-from the command and influence which it gave Ministers over the whole machinery of Govern ment—(icar, hear, hear).. This was to he corrected in no other way than by a Reform in Parliament— ( Loud cheers). We were approaching a Crisis when Public Meetings would cease to be called farcical, as some individuals of rank had called them—(Ap plause). And if that Meeting omitted Parliamentary , Reform in its Address to Parliament, he would assure them it would not be omitted long—it would be soon ingetted in other Addresses. The work of Reform was 'already begun. It originated with the.distresses of the country ; and, though he deeply lamented thoSe distresses (they all felt them, and suffering was a good reason for sympathy), yet it was a consolation to reflect - that the sufferings to wiich they were re ' duce) would remove the film from their eyes. As their pockets became lighter their. sight would be come clearer—(Laughing). He would appeal to the Meeting themselves as to the fact. He would ask them whether, when they sold their corn at a high price, eight or ten years ago,. they ever troubled their heads about politics ? He would ask them whether they did not think of politics now? They ought to have done so sooner. But they did it now, and they would do it more so by and bye; they had much more distress still to suffer, and for that reason they would become politicians—(Crier of Hear, hear). — As to the Revenue, it became necessary to inform the Meeting, that the collection alone cost the country more than one-half of the total expenditure of 1798 —( Shame O.—l . :ley had teen the Agriculturalists in Parliament, complaining of the distresses of the landed interest, and yet voting with Ministers for the fullest establishments ; they found them opposing Grants of Supply, and afterwards opposing that foe to all extra vagance, Mr. Hume ; and then, at the close of the Session, thanking him for his exertions. This was, to be sure, a gross inconsistency ; but then those who were in Parliament with him at the time had witnessed the fact. The Noble Marquis (Londonderry) himself had thanked Mr. Hume, or had at least said, that the country was indebted to him for his exertions. Surely, after having such high authority in his favour, that Meeting could not withhold from Mr. Hume their meed of approbation. That Gentleman had, in the office of Receiver-General for that County alone, saved no less than £75,650, out of a sum of El 17,900, being consideritbly more than half the whole amount. He concurred with the Noble Lord in the Resolutions which had been read, and therefore begged leave to second them. • Mr. THURTELL, in explanation, said, he had no objection to reducing our expenditure to the standard of 1792, if such a measure were practicable, but he doubted the fact of its being so. Mr. EDWARD TAYLOR rejoiced to find that the Meeting had fixed their attention upon the only real cause of our distresses—the overwhelming tax.-tion under which we had to labour. In every department of the State the most wanton profusion existed. Much had been brought to light by the persevering exer tions of Mr. Hume. But all the efforts of this'Gen tleman were rejected by the House of Commons.— How were his arguments replied to ? Not by reason in, not by an exposure of their incorrectness, for this Ministers knew to be impossible, but by corrupt majorities. And here we came at once to the real cause of all our calamities—the corrupt and defec tive state of the Representation of the People. If the People had been really represented, they would have taken care that their Members should have listened to Mr. Hume, and have acted with a regard to the interests of the People. But the fact was, that the House of Commons was not responsible to the People, but to the Borough Proprietors. This was the great and crying evil, and, until this was remedied, rt was in vain to expect security for our liberties or our pro perty. Under this conviction, and quite unconnected with any of the Gentlemen who had called the pre sent Meeting, he should submit to them the follow ing Resolution : " That it appeared in the course of the last Session, from do. cuments.produced by the meritorious labours of Mr. Hume, that there is not a branch of the puWic expenditure, foreign or do mestic, iu which retrenchments to a large amount might not be effected, but that all the propositions made by him to attain such desirable ends, were negatived by a large majority of the House of Commons. Therefore it is our decided conviction, that the ' corrupt and defective state of our Representation is the true source of our present distress, and that until the People are fully and fairly represented in their House of Parliament, no perma nent or adequate relief is to be expected." After a short conversation, Mr. THURTELL with drew his second, and Lord ALBEMARLE'S second Re solution was put and carried unanimously, as was also his Lordship's third Resolution. The Earl of ALBEMARLE said, that, with respect to the Malt Duty, he would willingly go for the re peal of the whole duty, were it not to be feared, by asking for too much, they would get nothing.—(Se veral voices—" Repeal it all at once.") ' Lord SUFFIELD recommended the Meeting to ask a repeal of a part only of the duty. Mr. COKE spoke to the same effect. The whole Malt Duty was seven millions. Now they ought to be cautious in their applications to Parliament, how far they were likely to trench on the necessary reve nue of the country—(Hear, hear). Besides, he had seen a letter from Mr. flume (than whom there had not been in his time a mote industrious or more effi cient Member in Parliament), in v.hich that Gentle. man pointed out the articles mentioned in the Reso lution as those, in the duties on which a reduction, might be made with the greatest safety to the nation, The Earl of ALBEMARLE'S fourth and fifth Reso lutions were put and carried unanimously. Mr. TAYLOR'S Resolution respecting Parliamentary Reform was then put and carried with the opposi tion of five or six hands only—(Lead c h eers ). A Petition, embracing the toreoing Resolutions, Sheriff on behalf ordered to be signed by the High was then read and agreed to unanimously, and was / of the Meeting. Mr. Core cams forward and was received with loud and repeated cheering. Before they separated he wished just to make a few observations. He sh ould be wanting in his duty, if be did not retSin those Gentlemen who signed the Requisition his sincere thanks for having dcare so. The Requisitionists formed part of a body of men who were the glory and pride of Great Britain. in no other country, could such men be folund, and to that body it was his pride r a o rd btoasctotooobtelong—o(Ht uniteee andrhear). rtiolftichenyeo mfor relief, all efforts to obtain it would be vain.

Look at Sus reldibitertofies Norfolk, als4 t H ha e ri; Sus sex, look at Kent, look at Hampshire (where they might be told that County Meetings were farces) — (Hear, hear). In those Counties every effort was made to stifle the public voice, the People were to have no opinions of their own, they were to be tram- He society opposed p w l as ed, so a rr nd y f t o o rc see ed th in e to hi o g bed her ies a c ss e c; ( O H f ear, hear). to the great body of the People. It was to the higher classes, to the lives and property men, that be now addressed himself; they must at last join with him and those who thought with him (Hear); they mast at length join in opposition to that system which he had been uniformly opposing since the American war. It was a fact, that he was the only Member for that county who voted against the American war, and though his constituents blamed him at the time, yet he subsequently received the thanks of the county for having done so. He had received his political lessons under the great Lord Chatham. It had been well observed, that all the great men of this country had been at one time advocates for Reform ; bat the moment they got into power, a film came over their eyes, which prevented them from seeing the necessity of enforcing such a measure. This it was which brought the country into its present distressed situa tion—(Hear, hear).—He appealed to those Gentle men present who differed from him in political opi nions: be called upon any one of them to put his hand to his heart and say whether he did not honestly believe that the present system was the cause of all their distresses ? The plain fact was this—the Koine of Commons was so corrupt, that no redress could l'be hoped for from it—(Hear, hear i and some Altiing). Would any man be bold enough to say, that; if the People were fully, fairly, and freely represented in Parliament, any Minister, however profligate,•how ever he might be a hater of liberty, would have dared to go to war to stifle the liberties of France?— Was any man bold enough to say, that, if the People were fairly represented, any Minister would dare to send a British fleet into the Bay of Naples, for the purpose of overawing the rising liberties of Italy ? Would any Ministry (except the present), however corrupt, assist in countenancing the barbarous Turks against the liberty and independence of the Greeks? He would ask, if it were not for the People of Eng land, what would have been the situation of our late poor and much-injured Queen ?—(Cheers).—Was there ever a more base, a more atrocious proceeding than that ? Nothing could satisfy the vengeance of her persecutors until she was no more. They killed— they destroyed her by the cruelty of their proceed-, ings--(Hear, hear).—He would appeal to those who heard him, as to what had been the conduct of Mi nisters. He would ask them to call to mind the em ployment of Castles, Oliver, and these other base and `infamous wretches whose business it was first to mis lead the poor people, and then to sacrifice and cut them to pieces—(Hear, hear);—and after having done this, Ministers ref used all inquiri. With such a House of Commons, what good could be done?— From such a set of men what relief could be ex pected ? In a word, the present system was the cause of their distresses, and a Parliamentary Reform was their only permanent remedy—( Loud cheers). He would now say a word or two about my Lord Londonderry. The Meeting were not, perhaps, so well acquainted with that name as they were with that of Lord Castlereagh; but if the Noble Lori re mained in power, no doubt his new title would soon become familiar to them. That Noble Lord said, first, the distresses of the country arose from a transition from war to peace. He next said, that the " igno rant impatience" of the people was the cause: again, he said, that the Poor-rates was the cause of their dis tresses, and that the landed proprietors were a set of cruel, malicious persons, for not giving employment to the poor. But how Was this employment to be had? " Oh!" said the Noble Lord, " Nothing is more easy, and you must be very simple not to find it out yourselves. Why, you have nothing to do but give the poor people spades and shovels, and let them dig holes in the ground, and then—fill them up again" —(4 laugh).--After this, the Noble Lord stated, that " Time and patience would do everything." GOD knows, the People had patience enough, but he feared that the time was not likely to come. What hap pened last year, when petitions poured in from all quarters, complaining of distress of every description? —lt then became necessary to practise some delusion; and accordingly an Agricultural Committee was ap pointed, to whom all those Petitions were referred.-- Ministers not wishing to be responsible for the delu sion, granted this Committee. But what sort of a Committee was it? It was composed of the leading Members of Government. Mr. Gooch, Member for an adjoining County, was Chairman; but the majc ' rity consisted of men who had voted for every extra- ' o v league (Mr. Rodehouse)ant grant which Mi n i sters propose d . His Hon. c was ow the Committee, and could speak to what occurred there better than he could—(Hear, hear). He might have expected 'from his experience in agricultu ral pursuits, that his I(Mr. Coke's) name would have been proposed on the Committee; but he did not wish to deceive his con- stituents, and therefore had it been proposed, be ,should have declined it. But let them mark the ef fect of appointing this Committee. From that mo ment, not a word could be said about the distresses of the country. If any man opened his mouth, he was told all discussion would be premature, and that they must wait for the Report of the Committee, m its r a . p 6 p oo ea c r l a i n i c la e d ; d a r n a t o g r o le ) i a ou ß s e G po o r u t: b ss u l t ia h t w a so te e po re r a t .. ! Well ; toward s th e en d o f t h e S ess i on the Report made sun or other he gave way and withdrew his Report, . so that that Report which . fact a Ministerial Report...7=r , was in point c f kat). He w 0 , 114 not detain the misting farther, th an. by stating, t h n he was heartily ashamed of the comp any ge ail obliged to keep in Parliament—(Cheers cad kiw i ). Mr.Wonanoum said, that in offering himself to the notice of the Keethig, he felt fully seeable t h at dot only remedy for the distresses a:4er whidi d ia ,,, laboured, was a mitigatedtazation--(Leadoh e m.: Be was equally aware that this declaration migh t h e deemed to come somewhat late from A man whom supported every measure which had made tainec ot necessary ; but, be this as it might, he would ne ve brave the seeming inconsistency, than refer track to what his conduct had been on former *maims.- (ifear).—lt was impossible to look back to thetvea s . actions of the last twenty years, without perceivi at that opinions upon those transactions could not b e slightly formed, or hastily abandoned. He was awa re that the distresses which were so severely felt, sto le from various causes, some of them of a tempor ary nature. He was sorry to say, that in no County an this distress greater than is their own. That distres s , be had no hesitation in saying, was caused chiefly by the alteration in the currency produced by Mr. Peer s Bill. So convinced was he of this, that when t h e au •• was discussed last Session be voted with M r. Bs for reconsidering the measure, and on that occ o n he was in a minority of 37. He mentio ne d thi the purpose of :hewing how little hope co a ld be entertained of repealing that measure now. But even if it could be done, he should say that they would not be justified in asking it ; for though it was a severe scourge upon the Public, it was a work of retributive justice, and its repeal at this moment would be nothing less than an act &spoliation—Wear). He was of opinion, that if an effort was made to re. lieve the distress of the country, it ought to be made simultaneously by the proprietor and the occupier of land, because their cause was common. He thought that a temperate remonstrance, as to the general state • of the Empire, and the particular pressure on Agri. culture, must be beneficial ; but he feared that the present remonstrance was much too violent to do any good. The Hon. Gentleman then declared that he had not, as had been asserted by a Rev. Gentleman, voted for the three millions of additional taxes : that, on.the.contrary, he had voted against them—(Cheers). He professed himself hostile to imposing Ludes on foreign coin, which was laying the world under an interdict—(Cheers). He condemned the Agricultural Report' for its stupidity and absurdity, and for ks chaotic confusion of ideas. In allusion to the Qua r . terly.Rettirns of Revenue, he observed, that though tbe Excise and Customs were always represented As the indices of a flourishing country, still there were others which ought not to be forgotten, and which :hewed that the pressure was most severe. Could it, for instance, be denied that the tax of £7,000,000 : 1 two years of poor-rates, £6,000,000 of which were raised from the country and from the towns, pressed most heavily on agriculture? After stating that he agreed with the Resolution for repealing the nth duties, and also those on salt, leather, soap, and candles, he proceeded to observe, that he con! ,4 n;st agree with the Resolution relative to the necessity of Reform in Parliament. For his own part, he could say as well as Mr. Coke, that he had never decehed his Constituents.—(Cries of " You have, you have: Mr. Coke never did !")—." Shew me the man," con. tinued Mr. Wodehouse, " that dares come from rtie crowd, and say that I have deceived my Ccnistituent,: Mr. N. PALMER, of Yarmouth, immediately s:ep. ped forward and said, " I say you have deceived them: and I will prove it, if you will answer me one question honestly.—(Here an interruption from Mr. Wodehouse's friends.)—l ask you, whether, though you voted against the Malt Duties, you did not v .e for the establishments which those Malt Duties were to support ? This was a deception ; and I tell it )ou to your face. If, when our Representatives come and beard us to our faces, we are not allowed to catechize them as to their conduct, we have nothing to do but quietly bend our necks to the yoke—( Immense ap plause).—One reason of the distress suffered in the country is, that for the last 20 years the Country Gentlemen have, instead of dispensing blessings to the tenants on their estates, been dancing attendance at Levees, and playing the part of sycophants at Court"—(Loud cheers). Mr. WODRHOUSI then continued, and observed that he had certainly voted for the establishments alluded to by Mr. Palmer, but it was on a thorough convic tion of their necessity ; and he had thought the taxes for their support might have been raised on other ar ticles than malt and soap. Lord Survinn, just before the Meeting concluded, reminded the Freeholders that they had 01 been born free, and enjoined them never to forget that the free dom which had been gained by the vigour, activity, and determination of their ancestors, might be lost by their supineuess—(lemense applause). After a Vote of Thanks to the High Sheriff, who courteously acknowledged it, the Meeting was diy. solved at are o'clock. AGRICULTURAL MEETING IN SCOTL AND.

Sir Join: SINCLAIR, Bat. seconded by SirdAMES FERGUSON of Kilkerrau, 13.att. the Society unanimously resolved.— " That it be an instruction to the Disecters, to take into their early and most serious consideration, the distressed state of the landed and farming interests, with authority to them to take such steps, as the circumstances of the case may require, vial the view of obtaining effectual remedies for those distresses."
