ray opittioes, 0( large tow as and rot the right of repreaentid in Pare lianas:a, Manchester WolesirAempters, which hare no right attest 4 o them. This will tend to shew the real sense of the people, ss welkhose who have not, as those who, at pre sent, have the right of Election of Representatives in Parliament, There is another observation which I have to make to you, which , has been resttlered• necessary, by what bas been said. by a worthy Gentleman (Mr. Mallet), whose general argument has been very ably answered by Mr. AValthmats ; bet one particular matter stated by him remains to be noticed ; that Gentleman has said, that he will not eonseat to send any Petition to the House of Commis, because he has no faith in the wisdom and integtity of the House of Commons. I agree with bum in that sentiment, but differ from him in the conclusion which he draws from it. I agree, with him as to the wisdom and.integritY of tho. House of Commons ; I have no faith in the mil, don and integrity of the House of Commons, and yet I would Petition that House; for, although I have no faith in its integrity and irriStlonh. I have much hopes in the fears of ifs majorities.. It was not integrity which produced a Vote against my Lord Melville; it was nut intregrity which made Ministers turn out the Duke of York ; I say turned out, fur it has been very improperly called. resignation. No, Gentlemen, it was nut into• grity, but fear, that did all these things. We generally find that Tyrants arc in common as cowardly as they are corrupt, anti that their fears do more good than their integrity. [Applause.] Now, upon this topic, let us see what is the doctrine of my worthy friend (Mr. Mallet). Ile tells you, that if the opinion of the whole country were expressed in favour of this Petition, he should be fur presenting it to the 1t ouse of Commons, much .as be distrusts the wisdom and integrity of that House, because he thinks that thegeneral opinion of the whole country,uttequit ocaily expressed, would over-awe that House, and produce the desired cf.. feet. Then, I say, for that very reasug he ought to assent to this Petition being presented to th.a House, before that general orittion of the country shall have been expressed, because measures like these have a tendency to produce that general .pinion of the public, the expression of which every worthy friend admits would he so elficaci oua, fur be hardly menus to say that such an ex. pranks of sentiment on the part of the public at large would give more integrity, or more wisdom ' to the House of Commons than it poetesses; at - present. lather think these two qualities would remain the same as they are at present, but the conduct the House might be very different, and as all things must hare a beginning, you) ought to set to the country an example, and• therefore, every worthy friend, upon his own doctrine, ought to *meat to the presenting of this Petition to the House of Commons, even if it were only fur the purpose of convincing the country that no coefulresce ought to be reposed in the wisdom and integrity of that House, but that such was to be expected from its fears or its deference to the ge neral opiaion of the public. Then how is the upi pion of the couple: to be collected ? It cannot be by any means, at least so well collected, as by Petitions presented by dillessent parts or the country to the House of Commons. That is the way to obtain general, discussion—that is the way to 'hew to the world at large that the Pqople of England are DitTEIMINED to have a Parliamentary Reform—lf that determination be pet into a tangible shape, and laid on the table of the House of Commons, it will stop the mouth of the Minister, and reduce him to a decent si. lee% instead of allowing him to say, that no Reform in Parliament should take place, because the people at large do not desire a Reform in Par. lisment. Mr. HARE TOW NIIIEND cangratulated the Ileethig on the good sense displayed by the different Gentlemen ahe had "token on the subject of discussion now before them. It was by the adoptions of the seutimenis now urged, that England could alone be safe.

(tippling.) Asa Mend to Parliamentary Reform. Gentlemen, I never wished to aim at any innovation is haters.' —I only wish that we should have restorers to the people that weight and power which, of right; belongs to them. 1 respect the Monarchy; I respect the Aristocracy of this realm, for many good m oms—and for one reason, whirl, has the greatest weight in hay shod, because these ton parts of our Constitution are israfal to the people. These three parts united, form our Con abatis° ; and it they do not form the best theoretic form of goverimell that the genius of man tould . tey,gest, they form that which is of greeter importance. the beet practical form of government now upon the pee of this earth; it h. how ever, imperfect in ib repent:Mob...l; and l shall never rest satisfied until I see a perfect Reform in the Representation of the People in Parlianion. that is a blessing to which 1 look with an earnest ansiets ; a blessing which can alone bc effected by the Members rit the Howe of Commons being fairly chosen by the people themselves, and not nominated by the servants of the Crow li, or cnosposed of the Livery of the Aristocracy of thr country. --;:pr , at "Ipplause.)—Reresen , tation is a valuable deposit or the rights of the sub je ct; it 1 sacred trust reposed in the Representative, and was ant meant to become matter of profit to individuals, to which, I am sorry to say , if has been in too many iostatwes converted ; for now, many individuals have the meow of returning more Members to Pareamerie and thereby to passes, much more influence to the rutni . ib of the nation than whole counties have. superior as they ought to be to any Individual. of whatever consecpwnee lie may be In the coatery. II sin re gard to the did; rein mores of Reform which have been mentioned at varimb time- I hive no difficulty in coufessing, that I feel smacked' to the form which was Stated in the year 1793; by which -le was propteted, That the right of satins for a Member to serve in Parliament, should be allowed to al Freeholders, to all riespelliollf :es rasa to all howebolders, pa, ing direct taxes to rte S. - ' With regard to the duration of Parliament, ' , think 11144 bet little importance a nether it he ;Jona:dor triennial.

We have a right to demand a restoration of that prac tice, so well adapted as I thiuk it is, fur the protection al security of iter right, and liberties—a benefit a tech we have only lost ninety years.

C i r. Mellish, imperfect as lir had expressed hinvelf, contrived to convey a meaning to 'hew that he wai a Member of the tree illormsgh Faction, for be skewed that he was above both his Caboitnents and the Throoe, as all the Borough Faction cuoceise themselves to be, it lisgard to their esedoct In Parliament. " I thought,-.,raid My- Townsend,." when Mr. Mellish beam to address . Gen ' denten, as his Constituents . he was going to say, ' that as Ite could not Yu conscience, obey your orders, as , your servant ; , be should *tiers his situatisia."—[Braso ! Brno!] -But be said DMA* like it, he dues not seem to perceive the necessity of resigning, although he tells sou that be will not obey your orders : but 1 trust not see the necessity that he should go out.—(Groat applease.) Mr. CARTWRIGHT then observed, that there was now no queillioo before the Meeting, but he thought it incumbent on him to sa a few words on the topic of the duty of Mern beti ofsP obeying the directions of their Carom eats. Of late the Borough Faction had ietrudaced a ism dear*, which interfered with the functions of the King himself, as' well as being a subversion of the rights and liberties of the subject. Noes, when the Kmg could not attend his duty in Parliament, being disabled by age or infirmity, he empowered Commissions to give the Itos al Assent to. or withhold it, from any Act of the two Houses of Parliament. Now suppose there was a Bill agreed upon by both Houses, to alter the succession; and the King were to direct his Commi"iiiners to refuse the Royal Assent to such a Bill, without which it could sot have the force of law. Upon the doctrine of Mr. Mel lish, held before his Cuestituenu this day, the Cominis sinners might say to the King , "It is true, your Majesty cionranaded es to rejims the Royal Assent to this Bill ; but when son appointed es your Majesty's Commissioners, you delegated to us your power, and we are to act as we think fit ; we have attest as we thought dt, and therefore we have assented to a Bill to alter the Succession."—Such was the ex teat of the doctrine of Mr. Mellish respecting the power de kgated to a Member of Parliament. But this bad an reuse- Mance to the true principles of the Comtitetioa of imelmist ; for la the old Law Hooks. and the highest earestitedasisl au thorities known to this realm, Members of Parliament were denominated " the Attoraies of the People." ?bit Is, per sons to sit In the Haase of Comments to do for the people what, if it were passible for them to be present. the purple would do for themselves; and therefore there was so doe trine more ceretitutleeal, thee " that a iiiiimlihrt elf Parties meat is Wand to obey the direction of his Goollemme.- . The SHERIFF did not think it neoessery.kribillomp., able Gentleman to take notice of every thin that II& Ike • . tisk had said. Major CARTWRIGHT then proposed a Petition to the King on the present state of Public Affairs. Mr. CLIFFORD doubted the regularity of such a pro ceeding, since the Meeting was convened for another purpose, that of " considering of a Reform hi Parliament." The 11111:RIFF'S decided, however, that as it was avow edly connected with the subject of P arliamentary Reform, it was regular to discuss it, arid the Petition was read accorda. laity by - Major Cartwright.—The Petition embraced av g variety of political circumstances and matter; tracing to r soarees those political evils of which the Petition coinklai ' On the question being put for adopting it, Mr. HARE 'TOWNSEND said, he lamented that his sense of public duty led him to dissent from any thing that came from* quarter so ens irdy respectable as that of Major Cartwright; but he really thought this Petitta o =llol . notch original matter unenonected, or else c alb moiety, with the subject now before the Meeting; besides, the how was much too late to enter on the discussion of is' complicated a subject. . Mr. WAITHNIAN was entirely of the same opiaitos . There war no man breathing for whom he had more esteem, than he had for Major Cartwright. The posbability , was, that be would hot propose any thing that was not tit M be adopted, hut should it contain any word which might be al tered to adventure, the Meeting would be sorry to hate adopted it without more rellectims--Or if, what was very, *Daly, but possible, it , committed any thingthat was wrung, the_ enemies of Reform would greedily lay hold of it. Tile rpseWhin was then put on the Petition, and negatived ea,the hew of hands. Mr. WA ITIIM AN then moved the Thanks of the Meeting to Mr:flume Brea, Esq. for his conduct as Representative of the Freeholders of Middlesex in Parliament ; and parti eul goy as the stady friend to Parliamentary Reform.— Al to 'Mr. Mellis e h he had committed alinust as many ;su nlit-al errors as he had given votes as a Member of Parliament. He 'sow °petit* defied his comtitnents, the freeholders of Middlesex; hot if Lewd Castlereagh had beets his constituent, !SI:. Mellish must either obey or resirn. and rhea , M n. d.i.l6t, Sir. ellish would eat hare imitated the political virtue of Mr. Qeintin Dick, by resigning rather than vote asainst his nosesenre. 60 Mr. Mellish wants have kuuwu how to vote tosave his seat. But to offend the Freeholders of Middle sex, and to offend Lord Castkreagh, were very different things to such a man as Mr. Mellish. Mr. Mellish bad en pretence to the thanks of hr: constituents, but so gracious a thine was Pailiamentars- Reform in the sight of Mr. Width man, that if Mr. Mellish had undertaken to support it is Parliament. he should have included that Gentleman with Mr. Dyng hi his Vote of Thanks, fur this one set o 'mid has e covered a multitude Of political sins in Mr. Mellish, but that lie had refused to do which accumulated um lilt head still Further political guilt. The Vote of Thanks to Mr. Bang was then put and carried unttnimousl v. Mr. BYNG returned thanks, considered himself highly honoured, expressed lib determination to adhere to those principles which first recommended hint to the outice of his Coastitrents._ _ . _ - Tlfhioks of the Meeting were then voted unanimously to the Sberin, for the resullome with which they convected this Meeting, and for th. it impartial condort is the Choir. Mr. Sherif SM ITII and Mr. Sherif HUNTER expretsed with neatneta their sense of the calmest distioction thus coo. ferred upon them.

(Aped) " ALEX AN D Major-General." JULY 18.--At the pre+cnt moment, when part of the army goes into cantonments, and the oth er is about to encamp, it is thought proper to giro as much publicity as possible to the fullowiug Or. der of the Day, dated from the Imperial head. quarters at Wul kersdorff : " The approach of the harvest, and the necessity of re. sewing our resources, require .hat toe areatest intuition should be paid to the preservation of the ripened corn, and that proper measures he taken to seenre its produce. A ri• prows observance of the re,;ulatitui of the bib of hew is alone able to protect the persoui atul property of the tuba. bitants of the country. Tbe severe csamples which have been made, and eves the lost acts or mercy of the EtriFeror, have revealed to the army his briu inteininu of pouting au e:id to devastations of the must criminal and d mgeroos u.,turc 'which have taken place.

(Signed) " A I.EXANDER. Priem of fcbstel." The division of the army commanded by the Duke of Ragusa shall in future be denominated the Eleventh Corps; that of Manful Ondinvt cult. tinues to be called the Second Corps, as it was whilst under the command of the late Dake of Montebello. JuLy 17.—The Emperor visited yesterday the field of battle of Wagram. His Majesty was struck with grief at the deplorable state to which the fire of both armies has reduced the tieiebbeur, ing villages ; and, it is midi, ordered every possi. ble assistance to be afforded to their inhabitants. A new demand for lint and rags has been made to the citizens of Vienna. Too many praises catmint be bestowed on the ladies of that city, for their zeal and humauity in obeying, and even anticipating the injunctions of the Govern ment, for the relief of the wounded. The-great. est part of the army is about to encamp, and they already begin to build barracks fur the I pe: 'al guard. The negociations proceed, and the littlo information that transpires, although by no means authentic, is sufficient to dispel every sp. prehension of the renewal of hostilities. Mmy necessary and considerable sacrifices, on the part of Austria, arc mentioned; but they are th.." price of peace, which . can only be obtained acid se. cured through them. It is also stated that the Emperor Francis agrees to send 60,000 men to. join the French army in an expedition against Turkey; but this is inereky a rumour, which wants confirmation. • THE STATESMAN. ru'orpsirt TEMAX.

Tux 29th Fren , :h Bulletin, which was very umexpeCtedly received at a Lae hour •last night, skews that there is yet a considerable degree of mystery hanging over the affairs of Germany. NAPOLEON appears to he cautiously on his guard at Vienna, and so will certainly continue until a final udjustment is effected with Austria.— '['hat his continued presence in that capital is ne. cessary, can, however, by no means be deemed certain ; and it is certainly probable, that he will hasten to that quarter, against which the operatiuus of our Expedition aro directed, of which no fur. ther official intelligence had been received this morning. • -`-- We have this day given the interesting proceed. - ings of the Hackney Meeting at The Paoei.a or rue UNITI,O KINGDOM MAY, if they choose, from this account tau a most instruc. tire lesson !!!
