His object was to prevent any fcr.her measures similar to those which had lately been re sorted to from being instituted against the Queen. In the first instance, he would call their attention to that government under which they lived, and which a as the envy and admiration of surrounding nations ; consisting of the King,of whom the law said that lie cool I du no wrong; of a House of Lords, the highest judicial tri bunal in the coantry ; and the House of Commons, representing the people, and making such lan. as were calculated for the general good. This was the outline of our constitution: but as a still further pre servative for the impartial administration of justice, it WAS provided that one body of men should make the laws and another should dispense them. When the pewee of making laws aad of administering them was united in one person, or in one assetnbly, it was to he apprehended that particular statutes would he m a de to suit particular interests ; but where those bodi, s were distinct. the government was good, and laws were male for the general welfare of the state. The y per fectly well knew that no Englishman could plead ig norance of the law : it was, then, expected that the law should he made clear aril distinct, so that he would be able to comprehend it. But let then, look to acts of attainder, to bills of Pains and Penalties, in fine to ez-post facto laws, and they auuld perceive that they were at variance with the spirit of the con stitution ; because they formed a crime and awarded a punishment. 'I bey aimed at punishment before Ott crime was defined. They never were resorted to ex cept in the worst of times; and whetter r they were resorted to, they created alarm and discontent through out the country. He could nit explain the dangers of er-poet facto laws more clearly and forcibly than by a quotation from the emphatic language of the Bari of Strafford, when pleading at the bar of the House of Lords: "Hard it was" (said that distin guished character) " that punishment should precede the promulgation of law, and to he tried by maxims unheard of till the very moment of the prosecution. If I sail on the Themes. and split my vessel on an anchor ; incase there be no buoy to give warning, the party shall pay use ilatnages; hut if the anchor he 'stedied out, then is the striking on it at my own peril. Where is the mark set upon this crime ? Where the token by which I should discover it ? It has lain concealed sander water; and nu ha oan pr dente. Ito henna innocence, could save me from the destruction with which I am at present threatened." He would repeat, that be considered it to hr the chief principle of cidl liberty, that the laW should be pro apectivel that no man should be made to sail r, un less by those laws which had previously been laid ilt/with and which were well understood ; and it was , I theerfore, evident that a Bill of Pains and Penalties was opposed to the spirit of that constitution under which they lived—(Applanee). He was aware tl.at, ac condor to the el/agitation, the King could do na wrong; but responsibility mus: rest somewhere. The law said there should he no wrong without a remedy, hut no remedy remained against the King : the Action Pmcg Smug Pgwcz. •f law prevented that. The advisers of the Crown. and not the Crown itself, were the responsible parties. But here there was an enwillingsess to assume that responsibility; aed therefore a third party was intro• demi, to whom he owed no allegiance. He owed al legiance to the king, but not to that third party—the State. Reference was never made to the State except in tittles of extreme danger, in erhitiary and oppreasive times. In the reign of Henry VIII. au.appeal was made to the State. State necessity was then pleaded ; and by the assistance of that plea, aad the aid of a Beech of Bishops, that la - -.nd put to death two 1., that monarch him w hich crbi,cil to Frost to role withoot A Par" to be occasioned by ber had been very frequently referrer' ro .. _ _ alleged necessity.—(.Applause.)-11e, however, must maintain that the klinisters of the Crown wore re: spansible; snd if he were compelled fur a moment to bring his 3lajesty's name into question, he might see many palliatives for his conduct. A monarch might be antrouuded by invidicus and designing persons; his judgment might be misled—Lis passions provoked—his temper irritated; and, therefore, he would make allowances for hint, particularly when he considered the high situation in whirh he was placed by fire cmtstitation. But eunlii his minister! plead that they were inttu -11 elm d by had advisers; that their passions bad been extol or their feelings irritated': No. They stood in tho I►itatatie of preservers of public morals for the general goon aud safety of the empire. It was int possible, ihrtn, to see the whole country Inundated with such -nauseous filth, ?web filth that many masters of fa milie.s hail thought ptoper to Vile the newspaper% without consideting ministers as the cause of the evi'.

Mr. Prt.set said that he considered the business of r the queen as a party business, from the beginitine to tsar resent moment, and he had no dist.ht that it would be tiistinguislied by party feeling till its ter- mination. It was, Lowe, er, precisely similar to the ordinary practi. es of the Whigs. Whenever a cala- mity. however severe, happened to the country, the leader of the Whigs regularly took up the cutiNeis against their native laud; they endeavoured to .hackle the measures of government, to inspede those proceedings which uteri necessar y for the %reline of the state; and this was not done to serve the empire; II 1 because, when he looked at their practises. he merit doubted whether they lied any English feeling or love s of country belonging to them--(Hisses and ap- planse). If they had any national feeling belonging to them, it was a secondary consideration. Places, pensions, all the emoluments of office, all the good things to be obtained under government, these were what they locked to. Place, to gratify their ambition ; money, to satisfy their hungry adherents. ' So violent, so inflammatory, not to say to seditious, but so disloyal and unpatriotic had been their con- duct for the last 30 yea.s particularly, that he hardly It( knew how to make a distinction between them anti I what were called Itadieals..{Mhos, and applause).— If there were any resibiliti to-draw a distiartion be- tween modern W lugs and Raillerds, be would 112 r the latter were ready to attempt the subversion or the Monarchy—(Mson), and ee), sad the forms: ~, were ready to rue the risk, rather than not got into place and power.

Purauint to a requisition, most nameronsly and re- 'pertains. signed, the 3layor of this town yesterday conveneda meeting of the inhabitants in the-Sessions house, for the purpose of preparing " au address tn her Majesty on the abandonment of the of Pains and Penalties; also a respectful address to his 3lajesty, beseeching him to take into his grationi ronside•ation the present state of the country and the petitions of a loyal people: also to consider the prouriety the late measures against her Majesty, and the ex pediency of petitioning either or both Mouses of Par liament to reject all further proceedings." At eleven o'clock, the Jolla Day, 119.. ea• lured the Court, and took the Chair. on the motion of Mr. C. kyshe Palmer, M. P. The Mayor then states! that he had convened the present meeting in conse quenre of a requisition it kids he hail reeeiveti, signed by a proper number of names, and hr should always feel it his duty to muter!' %II( la meetings when called spun by the inhabitants of the town. Ile trusted that ha should be properly suppuna,liu his endeavours to preserve order during the meeting. There were gen tlemen amongst them who were eapable of giving a faithful report of tl:eir proceedings ; he stated this be cause he had been informed that morning that a re porter from London had rouse among them. Ile did not think it right that he should remain : and he did not 'appose that the meeting would allow that indivi r dual to remain among them.—(Some murmurs ) Mr. Livics begged !Define such a proposition as that was agreed tu, to suggest the proprietyoftaki ad a show of hands upon it. • The Mayon said he was called to that chair for the purpose of p :n; order, and he expected to he supported. He reiterated his opinion that it was not right for the London reporter to remain in that as sembly. Mr. Pcuatv said he teas 1;01:1g, at the commence meat of the meeting, to mention thr circumstance that a reporter from London had arrived in that town. Ile, however, had no hesitation in saying. that if a show of hands were demanded for Ms continuing. he would not hold up his hand in favour of that motion. At the same time he had no objection to his remaining. He merely intended to put g.' .drown on their guard, lest they should, in the heat of the moment, allow incau tious • xprrssions to fall from them, which might hereafter be made a handle of to their disadvantage. Mr. Footrest said that those who opposed the remain ing of the reporter nue, ht to state some law, or to wi dow some precedents, to show that his continuing there was He would not consent to dismiss a re porter unless some specific law was poiuted out ; then, and then only, would he acquiesce. Mr. Frans hum' said he had frequently attended public meetings, and he always ou those occasions oh served reporters present, who were to detail faitliftilly and fairly the proceedings : he never heard that a re porter was to be sent away on account of the charac ter of an assembly. Mr. Peantes would not hive said a word on the oe• easion, had not an lion. Gentleman called for some proof of illegality of a certain proceeding. Now this being a meeting ail.. inhabitants of the town, he must contend that none but the inhabitants had a right to be present. At the same time lie did not mean to object to the individual's being pres.-nt to report the occurrences of the day, provided he would give them fairly. No individual could be displeased at a fair and proper report. Mr. F. Patatea said that when the question of pa rish meetings was brought under discussion iti the House of Commons, Ministers were asked whether re porters would be admitted to attend such meetings, and no objection whatsoever was offered to their so at ' tending. Mr. POSITS* asked whether reporters were not admitted even to the debates of the House of ICommons. Mr. PZARSII answered that they were admitted by , courtesy ; and if the meeting would permit the indi vida.i,ln the present instance, to remain by courtesy, and courtesy oily, he would not say a wool agaiost I it.
