LONDON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1820. " The Cause eor which HAMPDEN NU a gAe FieLd, and SYDNEY died on the . Scalia!" THE QI'ENN. gressive entrenchments on the rights and liberties of the people. (Applause.) tie would assert that the consti tution had ever been his guide; and he had never, on any occasion, nor in any one instance, given his sena Lion to any of those measures which, under the ads ministration of Mr. Pitt, and of those who had fol lowed him, sad who had acted ou the time system, tended directly to encroach on the liberties of the people.--(Applanse.)--Neither had he ever suffered himself to be Unposed on by pretexts of a casual and temporary nature, which were always relied on when obnoxious measures---such, for instance, as the sus pension of the Habeas Corpwe act—tiere to be carried. He flattered himself it was owing to this constitutional line of conduct, that he was indebted for the approbation they were now pleased to bestow on him.—(Applause). But, although at different times, and on various Ores sions, in the course of these thirty years, a number of at tacks had been asitde on the rights and liberties of the people, sllU iritroald say, that never was there so 'treeless an apenipt as that which had just been de feated. The triumph which they had übtaineil, by so defeating it. they were that day assembled to coon mentorate—(Applausc)---If he felt indignant at the unmanly attack that had been made on her Majesty— : if he felt anxious to support her cause, and to defend her from her enemies-- it was not an isolated feeling, it was a feeling width be iherisheil in unison with the u hole British nation.---(Applaose).—lVlsen such a case arose----wlacia they saw a helpi..ss woman oppressed —.cold must his heart be to all the flue sensibilities of our common nature, who would not lie eager to rush forward in her defence.--(Applause).--In pursuing the line of conduct he had done on this occasion, lie declared to Hod he was actuated by the honest convic tion of his own mind, free from any prejudice of party —free from any interested feeling.--(Applanse).--Hio mind was free from the influence of that poison which had been disseminated throughout Europe to injure the Quern. The attempts that bad been made to prejit-I dice the minds of the people of England against the Queen, taught lairn early to think that, in the end, her Majesty would prove guiltless of the charges that had beets alleged against her.---(Applause.)--1 hese were his opinions, -and he would stand by them as long as be existed. Hr would detain the company no loner than to assure them of the gratitude he felt for the honor they hail conferred en him ; and, in return, he begged leave to drink all their good Isealths. '1 he CIIAIRMAN then proposed " The health, of the Dukes of Sussex and Glocester, and long may they continue to cherish those principles that placed their family on the throne of this kingdom." Drank with loud applause. After a toast from the chair " the Navy—the wooden walls of old England," coupled with the name of the seasiptihr Nati St. Vince's% who is a proprietor in this county, Mr. Dlsysv addressed the meeting at some length, and concluded by proposing the health of Mr. Leonard, in acknowledgment for the constitutional good lie had alerted in the eanancipatlon of the Bo rough of Ipswich. Mr. LIMN AHD returned thanks. and in the course of an anini..ted speech observed, that the last injury that was aimed at the constitution was attempted to be effect:ll through the sides of the Queen. It was an old saving, that, when Hod mieant to destroy men, he first made them mad: and sorely ministers had acted as if they were mad, whei they attacked an unprotected 113•1311, and by that base pros . eding enlisted in her favour the virtuous indig • nation of a generous people.—(Applause.)—The ex pression of public feeling was already very fully mani fested throughout the country, and he yet hoped is see it more generally expressed He trusted not only that the great towns and boroughs, but even the counties themselves, would express their sentiments on this occasion ; and he PI Id be glad to see the county of Essex standing foremost in expressing its sense of the insults and indignities offered to the Queen, and its just feeling with respect to the conduct of Miatisters.—(l.oitil and long a, lanse.)— Amongst the friends of the constitution, he added, that he knew there was a variety of opinions as to the per. feet purity of the Queen ; but, be that as it might, it was as shear as the eay that the Kino had too right to complain as a hushand—(Loral applanse). lie could not see the necessity, nor even the policy, in a case of that sort, to have one set of laws for the King and ano ther for the subject—(Applause). The health of Mr. Hoileywood, of Mr. O. Saville, of Mr. Cutwood, and of Mr. Coke of Norfolk, and several other public characters, were subsequently 'lronic, and Mr. D. W. Harvey, Mr. Hall, and Mr. P. Do Cane, Captain Hay, &e., addressed the meet ing. 't he rompany separated at a Lite hour, highly delighted with the social manner in which the evening was On Tumills) , last, a public dinner tonic place at the Three Caps Tavern, Colchester, for the pur pose of celebrating the triumph of the British Constitution in the failure of the Bill of Pains and Penalties against the Queen. At a quarter before five o'clock, C. C. Western, Esq., M.P.. took the chair. lie was supported on the right by 'l'. 11. Lennart'. Esq., member for Ipswich, and on his left by W. Disney, Esq., recorder of Bridport. 'the company. consisting of about 200 individuals of the highest re spectability, then sat down to a very substantial din ner. Before the cloth was removed, grace was said by the Rev. Mr. Eyre, aft r which Spa molds Domine was channted by several professional gentlemen, who bad been specially invited from London. These preliminsry forms having been gone through, The Customer rose, end•saiii.--Before I proceed to propose those toasts which it is usual to dent on such oecasious, allow me to express to you the gratification I feel in witnessing such an assembly as th it which I now have the honour to address: and permit me to assure you, Cientleinen. that I am infinitely peons, of presiding over the present Meeting. I should indeed be surprised if the event which we are here met to celebrate did not call to:tether surly an assemblage of the friends of the Constitution, and of the rights and liberties of the people.—(Applause.)--A more Llo rions achievement than t h e defeat of that (odious Bill of Pains and Penalties, I will say, never marked the annals of this eitnntry.--(Applause.) —We may glory in the victories of the sword, UP May dory in the transcendent courage displayed by our sailors and sol diers. 1 glory in those victories. But this achieve ment is of a more lofty character : it is the triumph of the Constitution; it is the triumph of justice: it is the triumph of the law. It se cures to us the most valuable result : it secures to iis the benefits of the Constitution, and the continuance of Blase rights and privileges, to violate which a most daring attempt was made. A large and hononrahle t.ssemblage of peers stood forward on this interesting occasion, and did them selves immortal honour by the part they took. They I triumphed ; but why dill they triumph c liceanse they spoke the feelings of the country—the honest, upright, free and humane sentiments of the public mind.—(Applause). They dill triumph, and a gio i rions trinniph it has been—a triumph which has dis pensed joy and satisfaction throughout the empire— ' (Cheering) ; and I am sure the highly resist-et:dile assemblage which I now have the honour to address, feel it in a manlier worthy of honest Engliehmea— (Cheering)—in a way that becomes the character of the British nation.—(Cheering). Gentlemen, I will now offer you a toast—that toast which has ever been the first in the society of Englishmen when they as sembles' ea political occasions. Long may it estn-, floor ! May it ever continue to be t'.e first toast drank in British society !—I mean, "'Elie King. - - (Applause). And I say it is an additional mark of our reverence and respect for the Brunswick family, when I propose the toast in this form ;--" The King, and the Constitution as established at the Ilev..lu lion." 'the toast was drank without any very strong mani festations of applause. The CII.IIIOIAN.—Now, gentlemen. I heg leave to propose—" " The health of the Queen," a ith three limes three.—(Long continued cheerirg.)—Any thing that I could say would he lint a feeble attempt to ac cord with those enthusiastic feelings with which, I know, you will drink this toast.—(.472lause.)-1 he misfortunes of the Queen have endeared her to the peo ple of &leiter!: and it could not be otherwise in a na tion celebrated for its manly virtue. The unparalleled, the accumulated injuries that h:n•e been heaped on her Majesty—the injest:ce that has been perpetrated towartfi her—the furtitn•le she has evinced•--the un conquerable mind, t.te unbending integrity, which she has displayed under such peculiarly appalling circum stances, have called forth, as they ought, the general anti generous sympathy of the British nation.-- (Cheers.) ----Little did Ministers understand the genius and character of the people of England, if they could suppose that, when an nnprotectcd woman was perse cuted, all the energies of that generous-noinoled peo ple worthl not be called forth in her defence.---(.lp platose.)—fientlernen, she has triumphed ; and let it toot be forgotten, that it is owhol to her fortitude that we hare achieved a glorious victory ---(Cheers.)---We hare triumphed through her means; and on that ground we owe her our everlasting gratitude. I will detain you no longer on the snbject. I know I cannot raise your feelings to a higher or stronger impulse than already actuates them. Let us drink " The Queen" with three times three, in the genuine spirit of true and honesty loyalty. Thr toast was drank amidst the most heartfelt ac clamations. Yesterday, a Court of l'irectori was held at the F.Ast India House, when the iinderusentioned Com manders took leave of the Court, previous to departing fur their respective destinatiens, viz.:—Captain T. !Atkins, 'Marquis Camden, for Bombay and China; Capt. C. S. Ti 666 ins, Royal George, for ditto; Capt. W. Cruickshank, Farquharson, fur ditto ; Capt. T . Borradaile, Inglis, for ditto; Capt. J. Paterson, Re pulse, for St. Helena, Bencoulen, and China. Since the Fashion of Curling the Hair has become so general both to Ladies and Gentlemen, it ;nay nut be amiss to point out its danger in destroying that elegant ornament a tine head of hair. The use of the Irons snakes the Hair harsh and dry, and it loses all its native lustre and elasticity. To counteract this, AT• ILINSON'S Curling Fluid has long stood pr. msinete, and its general adoption by the Nobility raisrs it above any imputation of Quackery. Hy using it after Curling, it makes the Hair soft sad glossy as silk, and keeps the Curl bras in exercise, in dancing, or walking in damp weather. It also preserves it from falling off or changing colour to extreme old age. Anil in order to protect the Public against imposition, the Proprietor intends taking out iusmediately a Patent for the invention. The CHAIRM‘N next proposed to give The health of the 95 independent Peers who toted against the Bill of Pains and Penalties. '1 he toast was drank a ith enthusiasm. Mr. Lem NAR D said, he would venture to break in•o the continua order of toasts, for a few minutes, to pro pose one which, he was sore, would be received with Kreat pleasure. He would do co, because in the county of Essex it was one of the first toasts they were in the habit of drinking. He should, therefore, pro pose the health of C. C. Western, Esq. with three times three. The toast was drank with great applause. The CHAIRMAN begged leave to express to the com pany his gratelnl thanks for the honour they had just conferred on him. He had sit in Parliament for above 30 years ; and he trusted, during that period, he had pursued a consistent liar of Folities. The long period he had passed in thoConewagos House of Parliansent had beau up* of ska moot erradel wart : and he was suery, to say, that there had been, during that tint-, pro- , s• 1 1, Agtll4 ;# 4 , : ' 3 1 4:ay PRICE SEVEN PENCE. COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday, as stated in our part of the evening, a Court of Common Council tvu held, for the dispati.li o. public and private business. TUX ANSWICI O TUE KING. The Loan MAYOR acquainted the Court, that a Dis putation bad waited upon the King with the Address of that Court; to which his Majesty ws graciously pleased togire an Auswer.--(Here hrs Lordship read the Answer.) Mr. Farso.t. said, he felt it his duty, upon hearing this Answer to the Address, to move that the Answer should be entered upon the Journals ; but at the same time he must declare, that it was with grief and }mitt he observed that the Ministers of the Fourth Monarch of the House of ltrunawiek, at a moment of such difficu:ty and anxiety to the Throne and the Country. had been so foolish is to advise an Answer so insulting to the Court, and totally silent upon the subject of the com plaints of the Court, as well as misrepresenting the mo tives by which they were actuated. He then moved that tbi Answer should he entered upon the Journals._ with a censure to the above effect. upon the c.opsiuct of Ministers, in giving such advice to the King. Mr. Faros, in *me ailing. the motion, lamented deeply that his Majesty should have angered himself to be so advised by Ministers at a time like the present. Mr. T. N. WILLIAMS asked if the Corporation Would send forth to the world a declaration, that Ministers wanted to bring shout a Revolution' He moved as an amendment, " that the Address be simply entered en the Journals." Alderman C. SMITH seconded the motion. Mr. Nam' declared that the King was die most ac complished gentleman in hi', dominions, aril he w 0 314 not have returned such an answer to their address had he not been so advised arc iiiiisters, who had disgraced the crown, the country. and themselves. Mr. flamer/ snpported the amendment. He thought the Court hail not exerrised their privileges in %mit a way as to entitle them to expect any other answer than that which hail been returned to the petition. If ro • epee was due to the City of London, they ought nut tb forget that respect also was tine to the Throne. Ile thooght that in the recent prueeedioogs the dignity of :be Crown and the best interests of the cioncrylial been trilled with, and it was tit that those farts should he communicated to the Royal ear, bet he would never consent to any measure whidi was in any degree disre spectful to the Sovereign. Upon the motion of .Jr. Sheriff IVAITII3IAN, the Mi nutes of the Proceedings of the Courts on December 1811 i, were read. Mr. Sheriff Warrnstax said, he had moved for the reading of that part of their Journals, in order to chew the Court the course which they had taken on a former occasion, when they hail gone rep with a Petition to the Throne for a redress of grievances, and an unsuitable answer had been returned. He could never agree with the Worthy Wildman that they ought to enter the King's Answers on their Journals on all occasions. It was no want of respect to the Crown to express an opi nion of the King's Answer. In a constitutional sense the King could do no wrong, and whatever censure the Court might feel tluiussetwee nailed yea ea plow, woeiol app y. not to the King, boot to his advisers. The Petition did not contain a single sentiment which he (Mr. Wahl)• roan) was not ready to seal with his blood. Ile never remembered a Petition which had undergone go little al teration in the Committee. lie said this, in order to rescue himself from the sort of imputation which had been thrown out against him. The argument which he hail used on a former °resale's, and which had been much misrepresented by the Worthy Gentleman, was this, that all the measures off the present Administration tended t, produce a Revolution ; and he appealed to what had happened in ',doer countries—in Spain, Portugal, Naples and Sicily, where Revolutions had been effected by means of that very usilitary force upon which bail Ministers had reckoned as in ',lame of 'oppression. A Revolution, or a military despotism, would be the inevitable result of a perseverance in the measares punned by the present alinisters, and the people of this country were much toy enlightened to endure n monitory despotism. To avoid these extremes—to prevent this catastrophe, it was i tycoon bent upon the people to tarry rep Loyal and Dutiful Pe titions to the 1 krone, praying for a timely Reformation. This was the language which he bad used, and this, he contenoleol, was sound constitutional language. It was the langnage of the treat Lord Chatham who had said, that if Parliament did not reform itself, the people would • Reform Parliament, and if Reform did not come front within, it wonid come from without with a vengeance. It was the langitage of Judge lli ',ketone, who had ob served, that all acts of oppression leol to a struggle, and in this sanitary that struggle had always tended to con firm the liberties of the people. Every individual in this country, from the highest to the lowest classes of the com munity, enjoyed the right of petitioning. The meanest of his M tjecty's sabjects was entitled to this right, and it', in the exercise 01 it, any thing indecorous or indis: erect escaped him, even his errors, arising perhaps from the excess of hie sufferings, ought to be treated with in oinigenee, and it would ill become the Ministers of the Crown to advise their Sovereign to insnit even an indi vidual of this claws. As to the Loyal Addresses, as they were called, he could not help making one or two ob servations on the scanner in which they were prepared. In the Ward of the Worthy Aldermen (Rothwell), the sense of the Meeting had actually been taken whether persons shoalsl be allowed to speak. In his own Ward several loyal inolividnals hail attended, as it appeared, for the express purpose of making a confusion, and had conducted themselves in a very indecent and disorderly manner. These* Loyal Centlenten affected to bellevit that the whole couotry •was disaffected, and they sk into holes and corners for the purpose of caiumnh•tin.to the people. They dill not really believe, however, in lila disaffection of the people, and he had no doubt that if the country were tloreatene I with invasion; they would readily enoulth s!ek their o vn seenrity by putting arms into the hands of these v -ea men whom they ellarged with disloyalty. The people of Rngland had been basely calumniated, for Ministers therneelves, and not the peo ple, were the true Reveletionists. He hail not charged Ministers with exciting treason, as wits stated by tht Worthy Member, hot he had said that the measures of Ministers had a direct tendency to excite disaffectien; and by exciting disaffection to lead to &N i t a t r , ason an t sedition. It appeared too, that the people had been st - 'lodated to acts of ' , laicism and %mama by the amnia , turn of inflammatory bawl-1411c He had himself men a h aa d.wi o f that thowiptirits,, which bad bees simalated is the City, sod wbicie., if thebee design Isad.sakowel. feet, would no doubt haft been made a pretext forwalb .

He again conric:ion that there was not tsingle sentiment in the Petits:on which ought not to have been conveyed to the "1 1 , 1 . i t i [., r. I
