But this address bad .nothing to do with administration, but merely to prevent and Wan tenet such addresses as had been sent to the Queen from Manchester and other places.

(A laugh.) The Finance Consmittee was not opposed to the Moja try ; Ministry had also been found fault with for con duct abroad, even in Spain and Portugal.--(Cries of No, no, from Mr. .Maxwell) but there was certainly no foundation for that accu.iation. The war in Spain sc.'s undertaken to drive out French principles, and tbey were driven out. No person surely here will plead for French paineiples, or for Iluonaparte, th.• greearcst despot that ever existed. This war ill Spain hail been successful by the wisdom and vigour of the present Ministry. lie thought that the speeches a: the gentlemen were more exceptionable than the amended address. The addresses appeared to be licitly the SJIIIC. But the entlemen had endeavoured to snake their speeches popular by attacking the Ministry. Mr. 3i AXWEI.I. explained, and admitted that he le it received a note from Mr. blurt, who offered a yis.t, which lee was obliged to decline from domestic 1 .: r euitibtances, anti he had never seen the address of C:e Honourable Cliaionan. But why, said Mr. M., were not nay friends consulted as to whether they lead treed their loyalty. tt had bees sent only to a few known adherents to this administration. It was is A sent to such as were knots n to dislike the present sy lent. This convinced Mi ll ipore and more that the ori ginal address was in reality at; approbation of Min:s try under the spurious pretext of approaching the Throne with declarations of loyalty and atta lenient. Perhaps this alight be more apparent; before the meet tog was Wished. rte saw tin Imtenffts fret It It ad?. but mere discussion would make the it' 'Ater plait". As to the allusion which the Learned Juo t :e wade to • sonic of my opinions last year, I have bad iv, occasion to alter those opinions. I stated that misgoves intent, andthe consequent misery and sufferings ivilies: l the people endured, and spies, anal placards, hail mad.' a portion of them ~.elecaffeeted. But the people now rt'e that these attempts only strengthen the hands of the Ministers, who are the source of the greatest part of their evils. The disaffection has now attacked its proper object. and the people now feel only complete and genuine dislike to the present administration. \I r. UrNiNclossis said, that he felt himself con strained to address the meeting on the present occa sion, solely by the spree!, of the Learned J udge. After what that Ilintourable Person had said, and after woe cot 1111 l nnicati.ms which hail been that day made to the meetin.r, it would be wrung either to say or to think, that every person who supported such addresses as the present, ;lid so from party motives; but no courtesy would prey•siit him from sayiag, that the main 'object the great tnajoriy of the promoters of these addresses, was to support an administration which had been al readt- condo-tensed by the voice of the nation. In this county of Renfrew, in partkular, the purpose of the address was fortunately well traced, as the Reqiii sitionists, not contented with the general advertise ' ment, had sent a cirenlar letter (like a Court Circular), earnestly and particularly rt -,nesting the attendance of their friends this day; and this circular had been sent only to the known and constant supporters of the present Administration, as if mach persons only were lit to rally round the Throne. lf, however, after this, the Learned Judge, or any of his friends, wished sincerely to spew that this address was not a Minis terial mantruvre, they had an easy course to fol low. Let them only move or agree to a direct reso lntion, stating that this address was passed " without any desire to express approbation or disapprobation of Ministry."—(Loud cries of hear, hear.)—This, and nothing else, would take the imputation of party from the present address. But all the gentlemen en the other side knew, and were- conscious, that this would frustrate the real object of their address, and the purpose for which this meeting had been con vened.—(Hear, hear.)—The Learned Judge had said. that the address proposed by the Vice Lieutenant dif ferent so littk from the amended address, as to induce one to think that the amendment had been proposed merely for the.sake of opposition. lint such an opi nion could not be seriously entertained by any nsan, who read the two aildre7ses. 'I he amended address assnred his Majesty of the tranquil state of this popu lous district at the present period, though all classes of the community were labouring under the most un precedented distress. Surely this is a valuable com munication to make to the throne ; and he defied the must bigetted party-man to deny the bet. On the other hand, in their address proposed from the Chair. the most sweeping condemnation was pronounced both against the people and the press, but especially against the press.—( Hear, hear.)—Ott what sits that &lauded i The Learned Judge had not to-day even *Hada to the common topic of irreligion.

" The Cavite for which HAMPDEN jell in the Field, ant RYDNET died on the Seafold!" • RENFREIV COUNTY MEETING. - (Concluded front yesterday's &airmail.) . - were two rouses which operated in• keeping pure the Inman nsiod--one was internal approbation, and the ether vele the good opinion of our superiors. .Now, he Inlaid tbit no address or no Ministry wonld ever be *bleb extinguish the former ; but he thought that pasmges like those in the address moved by the ho nottrabit News, did tend. to reb the people of the good opinieo of their superiors, and tints to diminish the excitements to order and virtue. Loyalty mast be estimated by truth. Public opinion, which in a free conntrv, supports every thing, is totally adverse both ID the men and system of the present Admisd atoatioNs. And if t!-Is truth be net. stated, the geor e. mos who t:)oefalie v abost aosivor for thevoneeenenemt. (Hear, hear.) Calls of " Vote, Address or Amend ment." The learned gentleman sat down, by support ing the amendment." Professor JEfFIRR, of Glasgow, listened to the which had fallen from the Member fur the County, and was happy to find the language not merely fluent, but expressive of great depth of thought. lie differed, however, totally, both from the sentiments and manner of the last speaker. They had both en deavoured to throw all the blame on the devoted heads of the Ministers of his 3lajesty.—(Symptonts of disapprobation.) lArd SCCCOTII said, that such a noise was quite irregular, and that they must be turned out if it be continued. ,89th sides omit bwatlerwed to state titer opinions frerly.—(Near, hear.)Mr. CeNlittliAllE rose, and stated, that of all men Dr. Jeffery was the hest entitled to be heard, as nut long ago he had insisted that the same riLht should be given to a gentleman who had opposite opinions from his own. Lord coma. e begged leave to submit to the meeting a few dhservations on the two addresses. When the first one was read, he hoped that it won't!' have been unanineirs!y adopted ; and he could not have antici pated any difference of opinion. There was nothing *sill is this first address, ..vhether one set of measines ought to be adopted or not, and no approbation ex pressed of his Majeity's present Ministers. Ills Lord ship stated, that Mr. Speirs, of Eliterslie, had misun derstood his espressions. lie never said that Mr. Speirs would pronounce any inflammatory apeeches.— His interest in the country,- and his good sense, would render thatimpoesible ; lint any person who encouraged large convocations, could never he perfectly aware of what nii;rht be the nature and tone of the proceed ings. Ile was most 1. iendly to Air. Speirs, and bad the highest regard for him.—(Mr. Speirs here said that he was satisfied.)-1 be Learned Lor-I then oh served, that the first address, from which he now in tended to read some passages, was cuucheil in lan guage so moderate, that he hoped it would have pre. vented all discusaion.—(clear. hear :)—Ltientlemeo might differ as to the conduct of the present Amittainis trution. It was s fair subject for difference of opinion, and might be most coaseientiously ma i n t a i ne d ; b at there vves nothing in t h is address which contained any opinions upon that salo:iect. The only question now be fore them was, whether it was our duty, iu the pre-, pent perilous times, to send up a lova( and iltififol ad dress to his Ma;eat y ? lie had seld o m seen any ad dress so ma:termite. No perann surely could objet to du ill that this address asked. It merely call d upon the mese.aing to support the King in his ronstittiti.:nal authority.—(His Lordship here read a passage from ;he beginning of the address to the mauve import, anti did not read the insinuations against the tatess and kOreliy .( it. people ; but iseesel ewer, that pill of it where economy is recommended.)—.This address, said his Lordship, farther recommend to his Majesty economy anti conciliation ; it alludes with deep concern to the extent of our national burdens—it says, that " the British crown is field in trust for the people,".— it prays that those burdens may he reduced which fall heaviet on some of the people, bnt press severely on all. These burdens, he thotteht, ought to be reduced as far as possible fur the safety of the country ; but we were not to go the length of endangering it. Econ..: niv, which has always been a favourite subject with souse of the gentlemen near him, is included within the address, and strongly recommended. Ile now thought that he bad read every part of it.—(Lord Succoth laid it down on the table.)— He must admit, that Mr. Maxwell, the Member for the county, was a very fit and proper person to have been consulted with is preparing the address : hint he was sure that no per sonal feelings would enter into the mind of that lion. person. Mr. Maxwell, hawever, did admit last year, that there was a dangerous spirit, such as it was necessary to take mut asures to repress. Ilia Lordship did not contend that that spirit existed now to the same extent: but he cannot carry his ideas the length of belie% ing that it is altogetbee extinenisleal. 'I his county was now bt tter than it had been but it was not to be expected that these catching and dangerous doctrines could at once be eradicated.—(Year, hear:) Altl it he was willing to adm:t that there were only a few busy in exciting sedition and Idaspheaty. vet he thought that the exertions of those few might he dan gerous, anti that all ought to take effectual measures to repress that spirit. " Now, let us turn to the ad dresses which have been presented to her Majtoy."-- (Bear, sear!)--Of her guilt or innocence he would not venture to speak, as he had not read the evidence. But he knew that a great her of tho-e who had voted against the second and third readings did not du it upon the ground of her inaorence, but on acconut of the mode of trial adopted. The Queen has been made a point to bring out the diaconteut„ and it can not be disputed that that use has been made of the trial by violent and disaffected uersons. In the letter from Sir M. S. Stewart, a person whose private virtues and public opinions all know and value, and whose abili ties claim for his opinions the highest consideration ; this able and patriotic gentletnan expressly says, that there is mischief lurking at present in this country.— , •:e spoke, therefore, upon no light authority. when lie rested upon the statements contained in that letter, where the excellent and worthy Baronet speaks of that spirit and of the mischievous addresses to the Queen in the same language as he was now using. But the addresses to the Queen were not all. Ile most look also to the answers which have been made to these ad dresses. They are of the Sallie description with the addresses, anti of time moat ilangswons and improper , nature, and such as he could not possibly approve of. 1 I look to these addresses and answers, and I, said the Learned Judge, am convinced, that the till of the Queen has been tagged to the spirit of disaffection, in order to rake lip that spirit, and bring it again into operation. It has been said that this address had been got up to support a tuttering administration.-- 7 But where do the gentlemen find in this address any expression of approbation or disapprobation of his Majesty's lutiSters . :—(lleart bear :)—Aod the gen- Dr. JarrcaT now proceeded, and apprehended that Ministers were nor to blame for the present state of the country. Ministers were not surely to he blamed for entering into the war with France. At Paris it heal been announced that they were at war with all kings and governments, and that they must employ their armies beyond the frontiers, niherwise they would be turned upon themselves. On the 3d Feil brnary, 1793, France first declare', war a7ainst fireat Britain, and Britain was thus forced in self defence to arms against the enormous power .4 Vrance. Th e expence of this long contest had been heavy, but he contended, that Slinsters had dune their wutost to stop the war—the canse of that heavy expense, lint this had been tried in vain even by the very party who are now so forward in their accusations gf a pro fligate expenditure. Lord Lauderdale had tried it, and had been sent upon an embassy for peace. But he was not admitted to the ti:st minister, far less to linonaparte, who left Paris without seeing. Lord Lau derdale. His Lordship returned and was very gene rally laughed at. lie contended, therefore, tivit the enormous expence of carrying on this war was the price of tke salvation of our I.lterties, properties, and lives.—(hear, hear.) 31ini , te:s Lad shown their wish to economise, by strit.ing nil 17 millions of taxes, by reducing the army na►y, which many thought to be too far reducell—(langhter); and by abolishing several sinerure glare..—(Hear, bear.) They could nut indeed east oti holders of places by patent, but they had searched every corner to find out places that might be reduced.—(Hear, hear.) He did think that we could nut say novli a!iont the Queen : that business was not rot inialcd,'and awn wail sal yet make up their opinion. Ile mow thought that lie hail answered all the arguments that had as yet been brought forward. and he woul.l give place to ot:icrs who might have something more valuable an say. Mr. SPEIRP, - of Elderslie. etplained, that it was not the Ilietistty who took off !! e 17 millions, but the people Armagh their representaiives, of whom he Was then one.—(Cries of "Question.") Mr. It. G. tirains, Atlrorat.•, said, that he would not willingly have obtruded himself upon the meet ing. but he could not thi:ik of leaving his character open to any inproper'intinnations, ht• giving a silent rote on the question now before the meeting. He viewed the address 6:st read not as a mere declare ration of our attarhment to the monarchy and consti tution, but as support to tae present administration, by charging the people with offences which were not true, and of which no proof was hroneht. He was no opponent to diat part of our constitution—the monarchy—which hinds and cements the rest toge , ther. He should be happy at all time.; to express Ms attachment to the king• and constitution; but he thought it hut a poor compliment to the constitution, that wilt-never it• excellencies and glories were named, the disloyalty :srl sedi•ion of the people who keep it up, should be uniformly added.—(Hear, hear.) The people who were now abesed and charged with a tendency to swell a di-lo al au•l seditious opinions, or to be tinkled by the tolchers of these doctrines, are the people who las ished their litooil during the war to which the learned professor had alluded, in defence of their king and conntrc. Has this loyalty and at tachment to their cotrr;r vanished into an empty none? Ile saw no reasons for entertaining such au opinion. It was said that there were teachers of sedi tion and blasphemy among the people, but in what district did they ply thtir art, and where were their &flowers ? It was well kn.ovn that there existed no thing of that sort, and no person iti this meeting could prove that there did. Even supposing that there were teachers and hooks of the terrible de scription alluded to, I think, said the learned gentle man, that the goal sense of the inhabitants of this country is such as to enable us to congratulate each other that they are not to be misled by the basvitt falshoods or the grossest immoralities.—(llear, hear.) lint I may be here asked the question—ls there no discontent in the country ? Ido not deny the exist erne of diacontent, but I assert (and I appeal to all who now hear me) that is only discontent with the ministry. And in any Lanrbl.• opinion discontent with the measures of his Majesty's .Ministers argues at tachment to the king and constitution of the coun try.—(Loud cries of hear, hear, hear.) A Juryman, in ally ordinary case. must have evidence before he can declare that the charge is proved. But it seems, that in the important question of informing the Sove reign of the state of the conntry, the people, are to be accused without an;• proof at all. We must have evidence, indiridu ,Is must d : Blare wit it they know, or we shall be in the situation of peijitreil jurymen. Ile did not deem it necessary ta follow the learned Professor into the origin of the French war ; though the commencement of that war arose more from the dispute, whether Mr. Chantrelin was to be enceierd a s the Ambassador of the people of Freese, than from the reasons which the !canted Pmfeesot bare.
