Wootinaince, StFrom-4 ultra-loyaliats have gut up an address to the King here without any meeting, and have taken great pains to persuade the people that it does not express ally approoation of the conduct of his Majesty's Ministers ; hot the us ire sen sible part were not to be deceived by this well-known artifice. One clergyman, highly to his honour, re fused to sign it. Whilst the Address lay at the book seller's for signatures, some wag carried it off : ano ther -Address was drawn up ; and we understand that some who hail 'ivied the former were too wise to be a second time deceived, and refused to sign again. The Minden, which has nrsele three voyages be tween this country and the East Indies, and which was built of teak wood, ten years since, having been lately examined, is found wholly free from injury, and without a symptom in any of her tlinbegs, of that t'eoilfill naval I.:ottrge, tik dry litlegraph.) • ~ , Mr. Jastra llvanorit addressed the Meeting in nearly the following words i—lienflenten, I be .r leave to, solicit your attention for a few moments, while I propose a Preses for this meeting. IVe are now assent- Wed in the exercise of a high toonstitational p►ivilege, and it appears tome of the utmost consequence that the chair Muthd be ably onol respectably filled, as we thereby give consistency. regularity, and effect to the whole of our proceedings. There are many gentle :urn w:ioni I noon' see aroun I me, well qualified for the situation ; but there is one among thee► in par ticular whom I think eminently littril for the duty, both hecau;•• I believe you ar.f acquainted with Ilion personally, or train character, and that his political creed is pure and constitutional, his opinions being formed from reading- and rilection, and uninelierwed by any selfish motive. I, therefore, without further preface or apology, propose, that Mr. James Oswald be requested to take !het; oair ; and if tliis proposal meets with your approliation, I have n•) do iht he n-ill fully justify your choice, by performing his duty with the utmost impartiality. Mr. Murdoch's proposal having been carried by ac clamation, Mr. Oswat.n to ok the Chair, and basing called for gid read to the Meeting the Requisition under which they were convened, then stated that it would have been more agreeable if the honour which had been conferred upon bin' had been bestowed upon swine one of the many gentlemen present who was no ire able to discharge its duties; but that he had under taken tl.e task, knowing the assingu which would be 'lorded him ; at the same time. lie most anxiously solicited the indulgence of the Alerting for any errors that he might unintentionally commit. Mr. Oswald then proceeded to observe, that the Requisition which be had read generally, expressed the purposes for which the Meeting had been assembled'; bur milt might be expected that he should detail these a little more fully, he would endeavour to do so as shortly as he could. The first part of the Requisition regarded a subject upon which, Mr. 0. said, tloe Meeting were all agreed, and about which there was only one see• timent—thit the Meeting should take this opportu nity of expressing their loyalty and election to his Majesty, and hie Family anal tioveroment. He said, they had been anticipated in this expression of their loyalty by several gentlemen of the city holding dif ferent political opinions from those which he believed to be entertained by the gentlemen composing this Meeting, whose loyalty, he presumed, did not cousin in a mere profession of attachment to his Majesty's pers o n and tiovernment, and of a resolution to obey the laws, but was of that charartrr which be came the subjects of a free state, who, while exercising and manifesting the most sineere loyalty to the King, di,l not hesitate, at the same time, to represent to his Majesty, with the humility which be came them, the grievances under which the (-pantry laboured, the injuries to which it had been exposeril, and to pray for a removal of those councillors by whoitu those evils bad been occasioned. It was quits untie-' e sssss y, Mr. Oswald said, in each a respectable a 9.1 intelligent meeting as was then assembled, hail he even the ability to do so, to state at length the many wrongs to which the nation had been subjected for a series of yeses past, from the unconstitutional noes , tures of his Majesty's Ministers, se I which, in the better times of our Constitution, would not have b• en permitted. But it had been the po:icy of his Ms jesty's Ministers to divide, anal not to unite the coun try—to create discord among the different el society, and upon the least appearance of discontent in those cl most materially affected by the owe ' sures of the Ministers, to get ep false and imaginary alarms of the existence of disaffection and disloryalty ; and, in the agitation of the public nsinel, to Introduce and obtain the enactment of laws hostile to the first principles of the British Constitution, and while going on with such proceedings, they had indulged and I maintained the most extravagant establishments -and ' the most wanton expenditure. They had rejected and despised every plan of economy and retrenchment which had been offered, and unfortun .tely they had !imposed no such plans of their own. While the various classes of society had been enduring the must aggravated sufferings, the higher class of Lours', in a very diminished proportion, his Majesty's Ministers bad not sought art earonrgeol any means of relief, but had costumed to ineteene the military force of the country for !oting down tbediscontent (it wasaot dim affection) which their oww.awasares bad created. It was" to tbescincounitui lanai proceedings, be said, the mini— t 3 igiNm. - -liii...: Mtion related,and they cerranlv afforded a very fruitful field of discussion. Hut it was not in consequence of what his Majestes 111inisters had done, but of what they had not done, that they had much to answer fur. If,. Oswald observed, that the defective state of the Representation of the People in the Hons. of Coto mons had been nuiveriallv acknowledged : vet no at• tempt to remedy this defect had ever met with the cordial concurrence of Ministers. They knew, and admitted, that, by the corruption and the sale of bo roughs, the business of the House of Commons was carried on ; and yet they uniformly rejected every suggestion to improve the system, or to correct these practices with scorn. As to the Proceedings agaimi.t the Queen, Mr. Oswald characterised them as being a disgraceful to the country. They exhibited a spectc ele of jurisprudence unknown almost in every age— Prosecutors and Judges identified in :he same indivi duals. And-timse proceedings had beer pneersiect by a enmtuission, organised at a most enormous et pence in a foreign country, for the purpose, as Brat said, of collecting evidence agaiast the Queen, bait rather, as he believed, for the purpose of purchasing that evidence. The Ministers had laid bcfore tl sr public the obscene and foil details which they had gathered f r the Commission with ex pressions of great regret. The Wert of toe publication was very obvious, and yet no consi ration of regard for the morals of the people mull stay their plans—the whole of wl.ich 'este urx.iid for, unnecessary, and redected disgrace upon thr.; autimrs. It was surely, Mr. Oswald cent:lined, not tit that the affairs of this nation should he con ducted by Nlinisters such at these, and he I..:Fed meeting would entertain a corresponding fmling•whets they came to discuss the subjects upon which he h.td so slightly touched. It was of great importance that the proceedings of the Meeting should be co:id:let-4 in a manner becoming its respectability. it might tie raid to be in some measure a meeting of evperiioe to see how far the city of tilasgow, large and pol:- i•lus as it was, could, with propriety. be called to as semble for the discussion t.f a public 'political ti ea sure. lie lied always thought this could be d ne witli safety, and from what he now saw, lee was per fectly convinced that the Meeting, although formiGg no part of a self-elected magistracy, woul i itiaitif-.1 that due and proper spirit of loyalty which was Wit.- rent in the citizens, while, at the same time. they wo:.. I openly ioaintain and defend the principles of ;fro Constitution. A OINTLEMAN said, that he mislerstood some Reso lutions, adapted to the objects of the Meeting, wo:til be proposed for their consideration._ After Mr. Oswald had concluded, Mr. ROHEICT GRAHAMC ruse and stated, that whist , istoeuesnoo with all these who were there present, Le moat elosetsily regretted the causes of the Meeting, lie could not refrain from congratulating them, Chit in spite of the many attempts to prevent it, such a nuit.e rous anti respectable body of the city of Glasgow had then assembled, to exercise one of the most imp .rta'tt And valuable privileges secured to the people hr tit- British Constitution, publicly and peareably to IIIttl: and to express tiwir sentiments on public Akira, tir.l to make known their grievances to bis Majesty tile ring. lint however legally 'or peaceably, and n ;•is Whatever good intentions they might exercise ti,:s their just right and privilege, they knew, that tenets. Ornately there was a party in this country who were disposed, or rather determined, to misrepresent tire'r Motives and to censure their rondnet, and who netts ceased to•vilify and abuse every man who prey:med to attend any public meeting, called for any other pus *isose than to flatter their political patrons. The tioai per, the feelings, and the principles of some of the parry, appeared front the base anti treasonable motives which some of them had imputed to the gentlemen atteitiliog the public meeting lately held at Edinburgh for addressing his Majesty—a meeting certainly -s respectable (if learning and talents, and private worth and public honour, can confer r,•spectability) as any public meeting ever held in that city. Mr. Grahame then said, that it would be doing great injustice to the 'alert of this country, to suppose that they could sp pone or give credit to slanders so groundless and serociols. lie would as soon believe that they ..u -ori ed and employed the misereant Franklin to F rith and tircu:ate the treasonable letters, hand-bilk, aol placards, for which true bills had lately boen futv.d against him by the Grand Jury of bis country. He eon'') not believe that Ministers were ever guilty' of Outplaying this miscreant, notwithstanding a timber If sagpirio.ts circumstances not hitherto esplainrJ. Bat he thought the meeting would all concur with him in thinking, that the employers of Franklin, ..r Fletcher, are not worse than those persons who cal. oar cilium:date the gentlemen who composed the Vie 'burgh Public Meeting, as to accuse them of any bate er treasonable motives or intentions. To vetch pri sons, he said, the present meeting could have trothilig to say ; but to any of their felloweitizens, who, :.s 'well as themselves, are friends to the British Con%ti tuition, and who feel the same loyalty and attachment to the Crown, and the same good will to the people as the gentlemen preseat, but who from nsisea',...6 view., alarms, ut apprehensions, Might disapprove lit this meeting ; h:: would say their interest and objet were one and the same with this* 4 the meelln2 that the gentlemen present yielded to no class of men in seal for the support of Migietratee and of legit an thorities, and fur the security of property and perse , -• lllliteld of laws anti good order.
