Here he read a part of this Petition. It stated, that without a redaction, a reduction of their own establishments, meta change in their mode of living, they could not . possibly go on much longer. re older then to ens ble them to pay the high rents which the late war hail g , ven rise to, the present measure wad intro deced.---They new wished to throw ell the bur. theirs of the late war on the poor people of Eng ine! and make them eat their quartern loaf tit sixteen pence.•—( Loud applause.)--.He knew of one estate in Cambbridgeslsire let at 15001. a-year lon4 ago which was now let at 70001. a-year • and he knew of an estate which had beets purchase d at 20,04.:0!. for which the purchaser got 80,0001.

Now tats was really so insulting to the common sense of the people of England, I hot if it load not been said by ~tru ‘lll , l were in the 1., bit of rusting o n e another by the appellation of Honour ahte Gentlemen, one woula be disposed to call them either fools or.seseething worse. Mr. Western had introdJceil a similar Bill in ISO 4, raising the itu. portetion price to which was also to make corn cheap, and what was the conquence ?—Why corn had been continually rising ever voice. A whining and most hypocritical cry had been set up by a number of Irish Members in the House of Commun.:, on be half of the poor labourers in Ireland. Ile knew perfectly well that the warmth displayed by the land- OK t;ers of Ireland on this occasion arose, not from and• ecgalil to the poor people, but a regard for themselves. Ile had been over the greatest part of Ireland, and he could safely say, that the land- CA ners there took more rare of their dogs than they did of the le.:or.—(Lond applausf,.)-118 exhorted them carefully to ab'tnin from acts of violence, as the enemy were on the alert to avail themselves of cvery pretence for calling in a military force to over • e the people. Ile concluded with moving a series of Resolutions, which he read over to them. THE STATESMAN. in Westminster; but he entreated them to confine', themselves to petitioning, and to go no farther. if they did not obtain redress, then all of them ought uliauiroously tago up to Petition the-Legislature for a Reform in Parliament. Only let peace and goad Order be their standard, and then, after seeing the effect of the Petition on the House of Commons, they might neat try the House of Lords, where he liett hopes that the Bill would not crass. It had not of late been usual to refuse the Royal. Assent, and methods bad been devised ot stopping Bills in their progress through on or other of thetwo Houses ; but still they had all of them the power of addressing the , Prince Regent, and he had no less the power, by the , Constitution, of refusiegAis assent to the Bill.—( plulse.)—But ho beseeched them, whatever therdias; to do it by petition and remonstrance; and they might rest assured that redress would come sooner or tatter; for no power could resist the unanimous Voice of a peat people.—(Applause.) The Resolutions were then put, and severally car• ried unanimously : - - • RESOLUTION 3.

It was' not to this or that tax that he oh . ; e 'fed ; he objected ,that the people were not represent.A ; and till they were represented, no taxes could b. , legally or coo.: stitutionally imposed upon them. When the crown was bestowed on King William ail. on the alidlea.. lion of James 11., the rights of thopeople to a due representation in Parliameat was stipulated to be secured to them, as fully es Hie succession to the crown was guaranteed to the line of succession then• established, sod the people had still the same title to insist that their rights should be confirmed to them.
