itrETINO OF TUR PREF:UW.OEIIS OF THS COUNTY OF EDINBURGH. Friday a meeing of the freeholders, commission er• of sopply, Scr. of the county of Ediuborgh. was held within the roacty Hall, in consegnenee of a re quisition subscribed by a number of the freehold •rs, to take into consideration the propriety of coping a loy a l wbferss to his Majesty. Upwards of 140 noblemen and gentlemen were present. The Marquis of Lo•utt ss was railed to the chair, seho said he trusted that they would be unanim o us in voting the address. rile ti ilit's of the freeholders having been eallvd Sir June HOPP rose to propose the address, awl said that th:•re never was a time when there was more ne ce‘sity for coming forward to express sentiments of loyalty and attachment to his Majesty's person and government than the present; but he would not detain the mertitar by entering into detail, and would there fore only move, that the address which lie rose to pro. e might be read and adopted. The address was arcordingly read by the Sheriff= c?. when J. War.sten stated. that in rising to second the 'lotion which hail just been made, he must beciti by i:eknowleilging that the favor of his friends haol hil t:used on him a task, which he would nevyr otherwise hare dimwit , . of assuming. No one could be more .ensible than lir was, that there were Islam- (-tilers now pre, , ett!, far better entitled than himself, from their rank, talents, and inditenee, to bespeak the of thr meeting. I.ittle accustomed as he I is been to deliver his sentiments on questions so re mote as tile pr,.s..tit, from the mum) line of his pro :; saional he would not have presumed thus early to *dikes.. the meeting on any public tapir, which he conceived to he attended with doubt or (Hifi .:lty. or, in the discussion of which, either profound I..nott ledge, or elaborate argument, was requires!: bur, in his humble apprehension, the slightest oliser v.eliten of what is daily passing. anoind us, was quite r• , tfirient to sugszest the most conclusive mesons for a•.prorsinz this address. Fru., he pressemeeel, of tbs 4.• aho beard him, would deny, that the most ?agitietis attempts had been made, and mere wa:siii_.% to excite elisalbsction among the people ! t hi .realm. Few would deny, that the constancy, C.,. :1:1.1 trity, and, he feared, the 'access of thest. at .rip•s. WMe r.elculated to create the most serions ;ill who truly lured their country. It v. 14 true, that the clamour fur ra.lical refurin, had, t*, ‘llll‘icl, it. It na true, that the itine- tint airld-preaclaers of treason had no longer their oss..mbleal thousands to declaim to. It was trite,' Hat the drilling and training of anneal rebels 1,2111 ol.w by law prohibited , that the insurrection both I ir. &whim! and Scotland had proved abortive ; and that the bloackitirsty gang of Ilaistlewoool had *lll-; &real the proper punishment of their crimes ; hut tl e t hampions of rebellion were mill active in their wateation. Tbougli their proj'eeterl object was changed, grit- real object was still the saute. Prior to the eantmearente.it, and ohtring the depettalenee of a late saalemn inquiry, when a regard to decorum. and a re4ard to jit.tiee. alike induced the respectable part oat the conatonstity to wait the event in silence—the Air.•lllN of distlfection engaging a certain portion of t' r prcs- in their service, had incessantly attacked all r) At is sacred anal venerable in our constitution. In hAtever form their sentiments were expressed, whe t er i a nrwspapers. pamphlets, or caricaturee ; whether their ceaseless addresses, or in their ceaseless an s.: a.s to these adciresses—all of these engines were a.iiie exerted to promote their mischievous designs. The two {louses of Parliament, the judges of the laud, the dignitaries of be church, the ordinary ministers of oar lao:y religion, and that religion itself, have all Leen made the objects of their ridicule and invective. If Caere was one person more than another to whose feeliag on A late occasion some degree of tenderness due—it was has Majesty the Mite% Yet it was i against the sacred person of their Sovereign that the s:aafts of the disaffected had been most steadily level- . tail. It had been their earnest endeavour to extirpate i all those principles of loyalty, all those habits of ! resivet anal personal attachment to the Sovereign, o bids in better times olistineuished the British people. for was it, alas! among the lower orders alone that tkese aottrAges against loyalty and decency load been esamusitt.ad: within the trails of Parliament itself, in tzar preserve of the Peers of the united kingdom, as sembled upon the late investigation, the second Conn ed for the defence was bold enuaselt to assert, Brit the caonolnet of Nero, the worst of the Roman tyrants, woo; the Issly parallel which he could find for the con duct of his presrut Majesty. Forgetting alike the ainty of allegiance to his lawful Suvereian, and the el spelt due to the august assembly which he address. a .1, that learned gentleman had mat disdained to her row from the polinteal 111:111111C1Ctury of Hone this t disloyal, anal unjust comparisott. And to what were we to aseribe this unparalleled persecution Is his Majesty thus assailed because his Ministers had advised him not to place at the head of female society Inc. whose cominet had become the common scandal earl Europe, and whose guilt had hem proclaimed by a erect majority of her judges. Or is it because, upon assuming the reins of goverment, his Majesty walked' in the foot-daps of his venerated predecessor, and dill rant dismiss Irons his presence those tried and faithful ' servants what hall enjoyed his father's eaantiolence? lir is it because, during the glorious period of his ltd genes., the chosen %errant% of the Crown maintained the struggle for Enrope:.n independence, and achieved for their country a triumph unexampled in any former voile! of its history. 'I he time was now arrived when the voice of the loyal p art of the entruunnity ought to be heard from the one end of the empire to the other ; and n hen it etionlol be made to appear, front such meetings as the present. that, although a few unprincipled dente segues may hare for a time suceeeded In delmliete • the ignorant and misleading the unwary, there nas still an immense majority of those in whom the real sinews and strength of the country were concentrated —determined to rally round the throne, and to defend, with their fortunes, or, if neeessiery, with their lives. that nnrivaNed constitution which other nations envy. • SSA attempt to imitate. He knew that, in the retortion jargon of the disaffected, nothing was held to be more ■A!■ ridiculsos and insignificant than the meeting of a Scottish county. Ilut, in answer to such calumni ators, he would affirm, that the present meeting slid Ally and fairly represent the county of Edinburgh. as Ilistinzitished f..-tot the city : that it did collect tile opinistuo, tint, indeed. of a were rabble, hut of tilos , whose opinions we-e . 451 value, se: we woottlil consiOt in the rutcerns of private life, whom in all esigeneies sre•would entrust with our fort .so or onr honour. He was convinced that the great owes of the people, is whom there still retuaineal virtuous and religious principles, would not long resist the example of those who were their ns ur tl guides and protectors, and that they would soon he able to distinguish between their teal anti their pretended friends. While he therefore Coney rred in the other pills of the address, be con tarred also in that part of it, which breathed the lan guage of hope and esowthstion; he had no doubt that many who now labonresi tinder delnsion, wonid soon " unite, Ite."—(llere the Leanne.] (lentlemati concluded by reading 'the last sentenced the address.) "atavism of Ruth apologised for addressing the nieetleg hot was (ailed upon, not only by his own feelings. but an imperative linty, to come forward on such an *cession as the present. lie had seen in many quarters, with disgust. attempts to get up mi -1 drosses. ander the madams of loyalty. which indulged in squat and unwarranted imputations of (visor and distioction on the part of the people. He saw, the other shay. an address which at present lay in the Council•Chapiser for signatures; hut it was such an address, that few would sign it but those attached to power. It was an address coughed is such unjust and indecent terms, that every houourable and unbiassed mind would shrink from countenancing. In one of the largest counties in Scotland au Address had 'teen I got up, more consistent with the feelings of slaves to desputis power than of subjects of a free government. When he saw such thistgs, befit himself railed u ps,o t o come forward, if sot to counteract. at least to protest against such proceedings. Ile had seen with lunch satis faction the ether mistress, where the languagt was soften ed down. and the opinions of the pcoplerxpressed in re speedo' hot independent terms. Nu one wuttl.l assure anxious t o rspr.ss loyalty than he, yet there were some parts of the address just proposed, from which he 1151141 dissent; and when hr considered the rialeut, opprobrious, and improper speech delivered by tic• seromler of the address, and that that speech was intended as a conintentary on the aildr.ass, he, cool , ' it"r, r frain from making a few remarks. It' was the ministers of his Ilajraly of whom they had to complain, and the address was objectionable in so far as it conveyed expressions of complete ronfislence in them, attil did nut express any advice to re ttttt re them, in rousespietice of the agitations they threw the ronantry into by theit late measures. The mea sures he alluded to were smell that even their indi vidual adherent: ilepreeateil them: yet these very mih ere nts who disapproved of them meet here for the purpose of eNpressing their approhati in. What conclusion follow-, hut that it 010.. s out fl o w from their own feelings, but I an order from Hover's meat, Hilt they now evprers sods app.oloatioon.

Ile did slut think that the Quern was at all concerned in the present meeting. The unwise, un feeling, and tiniest attempts to prosecute Iser Majes ty were at as ettil, awl just and legal step< mull follow for re-instating her an her honours, atoll restoring the e.ottutry to quiet. Ile wild not detain the Meeting by going into, the general 'system of his Majesty's Ministers lint there was one feature which he 1111Ift notirr, which was the olangetom4 one of moleseouting to separate the hither Irvin the lower classes. If that system were pursued, it would only be widening the former breach, and rendering the chasm snore dillicolt to be filled up, owl perhaps constrain the people to proceed to ford to defend themselves, and plecure their just rights ; and it should be re:socialite-re I, however despised they may be now, that when the I of trial of the people mast be heard. Another Pamir,. is their presuming to ‘.sy, that every person who resists Adnoi nistratioott, is a rebel, a ratill'.ll. or a &magnum.. If aversion to the measures of :High:ter. ran ciottstitotte either lathes'', then their a cessation is made good, fur that feeling is general among a great w. 15% of the po. pulaliuo of the country. .1 few cases ior 0111061.rjble individuals being tried for blnspisre.y and seilit' hail orrtirrell, and thr whole country had beet, stigmatised for them. lit floe general accusation however they might halVe had the candour to confess that this part of the rontotry was freed from suds inspottations. If pithlie opinion the p. eseut Ministry mast fall, or something tonal he door on their port to rontiliate the people. '1 sr cant of loyalty of a few aristocrats will not long sapport them, and Ministers are much deceived if they think that I...terrier mea<ures will ever allay die fever and discontent that rages attopild the people. Ile knew no oilier remedy but a change of measnres, whether with a change of men or rot, that could restore tranquillity to the country. He hadd enolea4ottred to express the senitments of an honest man, a lover of his country, and a lover of the con stitution. Ile would suffer his loyalty to carry hint as far as any one i's a proper way, but he must object to those parts he had alluded to, and would propose an amendment, condo-51 in sooosieratc terms—an amend-' went whirls every friend of his rountry, and of proper feelings of independence, would agree to. Tlw Hots. lietotleman then read the amendment. Sir .Is.r.ss NUE:t NlAlTl.lNoGinsos, of Clifton•hall, assured his Lordship, that no one conk! enter that, alerting with feeling' of snore loyalty than he ; but he regretted es.tremely, that he eisnld not agree to the address f..r similar minions to those of his honorable Friend who preceded biol. Ile limb! never :kr priovr ' of the late proceedings. and all men lutist deprecate their iiispoliey, when the country was returning to happiness and plenty, sifter the ravages of the late war. Instead of a comilatiiin to Kink,. and interest the people, Nlissisters brought on the unfortunate step ,s 4 aitist the Queen, which has involved the emitstry in so much confusion and trouble.

The Address carefully excluded any thing hos tile to the feelings of either party; it went upon pnblie •;rounds ; and he hail flattered himself that an unani mous address might have been agreed upon. The amendment was wit rourhed in inch careful terms; and it was impossible that an address which threw blame on either side could pass nutattitim•c•ly ; for persons of honourable character anti conscientious feeling might entertain different opinions on political subjects. In preparing the Address, they had avoided conveying any approbation of the conduct of litsisters, but confined themselves to expressions of adherence and attachment to the Throne ; but the language of the amendment was not calcnl•rtetl to allay the discon tents. Ile did not wish to enter into the question, as to the merits of the present llovernment. If their claims came to he discussed, he would hr prepared to star his Sentiments. 'I amendment recommended, as a remedy of the evils, an alteration of measures. •this meant nothing but an Aituralltlll of hi• Majesty's Mini ter,. Ilod Cur:;:il he sl 1.1 say any thing against tbeex prr..ion iif public opinion. hot he noticed with pain the continual fluttery against administration. There was a uri•cbievoras visit abroad, anti they made up what they wanted its numbers and 'characters by their activity. It was necessary to unite in putting down tb..se attempts. It was mit a question whether 1 • .11 Liverpool or Earl (trey should be at the head of ad ministration; he wettld INs ready, if that discussion were necessary, to give his opinion on their relative merits.

It had been said no the other side, that no objection bail been stateti against the address proposed ; to this be could nut agree—and while he e plimented the ho tttttt rabic Baronet on the mo deration of many parts of his speech, lie felt that it was impossible for any man to be silent who had a true regard fur the interests of his country, and the lost rights of the people. (Applause.) The address and commentary go to impute to the pro. pie a certain degree of disloya!ty and disaffection, against which hr lutist lift his voice to protest. It was usual to designate as the lower orders every meet ing that expressed opinions opposite to the present administration, anti this expression lie would be glad to see avoided. The expression of puldir opinion on the late occasion frame from the general mass of the people—from the proprietors—the ye ttttt anry— trot entry. and a laroa , proportion of the cointtt eerie! 'polity of ►he country ; it cattle from the lowly of the people, who are the sinews of the state—from those to who:,, we owe the strength and glory of the country, mud from whom the jitrytnen are elected for the civil and criminal trials that take place. Ile could not lint lament the attempt to separate the hi_•her classes from the people, and to olesiontice as demagogues and trai - ors all ti use who did not how flown to the idols of power a hich they lizol raised and worshipped. The thin_ most to lie desired was, to r.•nciliate, unite, and , conioh:ne the higher with the lower classes. As to the eternal charge of sedition and irreligion, there' never was a more 116411 and ridiculous uue made he believed that at no period was there such a general spirit of reliAion, or less dispo sition to sedition and inegular proceedings.-- His Lordship concluded by say:xg. that there was northing mare likely to disjoint anti noir:one society than to hold not, that there was tio loyalty and affec film to the ('n►ustitutiou, lint in those who aolbereol to the present Administrati tt and to vilify the publir eh:trailer. breautse a few iiitl'lllper tie inoLviolnals had attempted to stir up commotion and strif...—(Lootol cheers.) 'Mr. AI icittax. Ltxxioe, of t'olz:nus, next addressed the Meeting, hot he spoke in so low a tone, and there was such a confusion in the house, that lie could nut be distinctly heard. Fur. James lieneox, of Islington, supported the amenoltuent, and said, that with regard to the question of who %%mild he 31inistere, he was indifferent; loot lie was certain, that, if the present system was persisted in, t he country would be ruined.

STE said that he hail hitherto ab stained fr all public meetings, thinking, that as a 'en ant of the Crown, his motives might be misrepre sented ; and he should mit have appeared that day, bat that he frit intimately connected with the meeting from the little property he possesswd, being situated in the county. His Lordship hail hoped that the address was conches' so a. to prevent iii..eussion, while the amendment embraced every topic to disunite —it was a complete party asl,lreses, awl would tend to disseminate a spirit of disaffection throughout the conntry. IVith regard to the übservati of fiord Rosalyn on the state of the country, was it possible for him to forget that a Urand Jnry had fmnd true hills against a ntituber of individuals in Scotland, and thong's the spirit was put do►rn, it still slumbered ,in the breasts of many. As to the circumstances iof there being no prosectifions against the press, he meld only say, that it proceeded from his unwillingness to do any thing against its liberty; such he would never bring forward but on the n • strongest grounds ; but, howt•ver 11..lieate awl painful it would be, hr hoped that if it were ever ue , es.aty, it would he ;loth• with tiruittes..

The vote was here called for by moony ; lint au:joist loud calls from all quarters of the House, Mr. Jaren EV rose and said, that he would not inirns:e on their patience or impatience many minutes; but he felt called upon, on behalf of himself cud the friends woo,. voted along with I • , after the stateuseuts of site is arlocA Lord, to lay before the Bisecting a distinct vie r HI the grounds why they thought it out only proper, tont ners” , - sary, to oppose the preolmt address, and sopio o rt th e anseodment. lie had greet satisfaetion in conc.:fling with all who had spoken in their professions of loyalty and attachment to the floverittnent of the cuontry—in deed it was not necessary to bring that forward:as 1.0 difference or shade of difference existed between them. lie objected to give his sesection to the address on tit o grounds:-Ist.

What good would they do ? they would he discharging a told duty and nu more. To offer addresses to his Majesty on the present sate of the 1111 nt ry, asset to omit all allusion to the prime groom! of comoplaint, the etondnet of his 31intster*, would be mere empty and hollow expressions of snarl'. ment to his person moil government, and not the whole sentiments they entertained. Such an address, in short, did not meet the exigeneies of the times, and some other atitl stronger expere•ions ut public feeling was called for. To a certain eNtelot Is:. (Mr. Jeffrey) agreed salt the statements en the sober side, and admitted that there had been, anti was, a great and boiling discontent widely diffused, and was sorry hone extruding among the great hotly of the people ; i.e would go thus far, but no far ther. It was a matter of much congratulation, that no Male wet ever heard among them to express any disaf fection or indifference to the ancieat, intle - rensient monarchial government; and they had no ola jection that the address sh o uld be appr ove d o f, i f it ex pressed attachment to the Constitution. timi forbid that they should oppose ally such thing. But if a new address we're made out, embodying the same fXpreg , iuns of loyalty, or they womb] willingly soohscriloe the first part of their address as bettor perhalos, more choice, emphatic, awl pathetic, than their Amendment —(a laugh)—and at the same lion," adding something to the purport already alluded to, they roulol have no objection fur the sake of unanimity. Nothing could rejoice them wore than that the whole meeting should he onaninsous; they cordially and sin. rerely wished it ; hut to secure errs) that, they mold server suffer a doctrine to go fortis that the whole meet ing thought the present (lover 00000 ent worthy of con& denee an.l approbation. No ; along wile their exprea. lions of loyalty, they would also humbly submit to hi'. Majesty the norans to take away the discontents that were spread among the people. The next point was not one that rehired 'smell detail. It was agreed ou all hands that there was mach dialects.; and dissatisfaction in the et/owe I mod the course pursued by 31inisters hall been, and . was a course of intimidation and oppro hrinm. to vilify and defame all those who were opposed to them in opinion and politic*. The;r policy haul toren tee drive back the symptoms, rather than to counteract thesis ley kindly am( soothing- measures ; in short, to dry up the roots rasher than lap off the Inatielres. With re- Teri to one reproach oat of doors, which had been no heed in thee speech of the los 0000 rahle member for the county, a speech which he admired for its moderation. asset whirl' he should be prom' to malce his model, lie hedged to say a word. There had beets clamours with out. and these clamours were increasing, bat with de ference to the honourable Baronet. he denied that any respectable member of opposition, either dictated, or joined in these clamours. lie denied that they ever ex pressed opinions of his 31ajesty's thoyerstnient that dill not contain a protest against ail revolootitonary doctrines. Ile denied that any respectable IVlsig ever was so atomised as to say that the House of Lords was unnecessary, that he ever spoke in tennis of disrespect of the Consti tosti tttt , of King, Lords, and COUVUOU., or that he ever disseminated opinions against resealed religion. But lie would say, that the Whigs, for the last three years, were more the attires of calumny and defamation than even his Majesty i Ministers thenowlyes. Were they reer found indulging in the wild dreams of some great riper/mutative republican government, made up ut an nual parliaments moil moiversal suffrage ?—t In all °yea shins they had lifted their v.oces against them, and in ' the poltheation he had the honour of being connected wills, there were massy learned and able articles in di ' rision of these wild opinions.. lie denied all those foul insinnations. lie coyish' not agree to the address, be cause the present Goveruarent represented every room I Isle)) .ceposerl them as treasonable, dangerous, and too -1 1 scnr'llY persons: and hecanse it was tlse tendency ost the ministerial journal* to vilify d o r Whigs, and identify thorns with the worst a all parties; Mail to call upon thorns, nut to rely rosins, the throne, *lsere they would all use •t and p er ish, hoot rotund the pre-mot aim . nistra tion. whom they have /doddered and applauded in every stage of their slack career.
