Clergyman mentioned by Mr. Hunt, its fairour of thrill* unhappy men, though he' would allow that the Conduct of that Clergymen wet a little extraordinary. In fact, there was not time to do in,. thing effeclualfoi them. If there had been time, he was convinced that, thodgh one life was lost, the whole of the proceeding 'Would have assumed the Character of a riot, and not that of High Treason, into which it was' intervreted. After some further Observation, on 'the same subject,.he ,concluded with 4iteting, that if the close of Sir Francis Burdett was ot properly supported, it would lead to . an apathy in.tbe cause of Reform, the . conseqoenceb of which § I would he most' disastrous to public liberty. 111 r.

Let bo Government and Peoplistill remember, that it wall the question of taxation, without representation, that lost America to us. Representation ought to be co eatensive with taxation.. This was the principle he c,outended for, and nothing less he was convinced would satisfy the People -of this enlightened ,age.l With regard to Mr. Rent, the enquiry was not,ishe that he was rich et poor, what family he bad, or what county he belonged to. Was he an English. man? Had he stated the . grounds of his coming be fore them, and was he inclined and competent to tarry I his principles into effect? These were the only cues. tions which, as Englishmen, they ought to ask; and upon these grounds he was c onvinced that Mr. Hunt was entitled to their support. MEETING or TH . FRIENDS or gill WM: ctritins, 13.4 AT THE CITY OF LONDON TAYSILN, JuLT 1. Mr. MANNING was called to the Chair precisely at two o'clock. After expressing his thankfulness for the honour of presiding at a Meeting so highly, respectable of Merchants and Traders, and assuring them that, , while he must claim their indulgence on account of his unfitness to do justice to his s ituation, he yieldedto none in zeal for the object of the Meeting, he read the Requisition for calling that Meeting. He Seabed them to keep in view, that their object was' merely to .tipress their respect for Sir William Curtis, and their regret for the result of his late effort to be reelected. To these topics they were to confine themselves, es a wider range might occasion elis egreernent.--(Applause.) Werrmone said, he rose to move the first Rirolution from pare motives of friendship . to Sir William Cortie. He bad. been intimately ac . qoainted with him for many years. The kind: trees end courtesy he had experienced from him made him feel the deepest regret that be was not now placed iu the situation which he had held for so many years. In that situation his attention to the mercantile and trading interests deserved the warmest thanks of that Meeting.—(Near, hear !) The Resolution was then read. It expressed the highest esteem for Sir Wm. Curtis, the greatest gra titude for his services, and the sincerest regret for the result of the late candidateship. Mr. HIDIIERT felt great pleasure in seconding the resolution. Were he possessed of the arts of persos. lion, as he was not, it would be useless to exert them for a purpose which was alreedy in their hearts and minds , or it could not be ohtained.—(Applunre.) — Any Gentleman who 'mould have represented them in six Parliaments, and for eight.and-twenty years, most have been deserving of • tribute of applause from his fellow-citizens. Sir William Curtis was five times re-eletted by large majorities ; he was, therefore, en titled to the tribute of their regard.—(Applause.) — In offering that tribute, they would confine themselves to that part of his public conduct which relattol mediately to their interests ; for on this point their opinion would bare most weight.—(Applause.) — ln attending to thecommercial interests of thecity, hehad attended to the commercial interests of the kingdom at large. When they happened to go abroad,and it was asked " Whence arose our pre-eminence ?" The answer was," From our commerce." It, was our commerce that eusbled es to sustain the long and difficult contest in which we were engaged, and to come out of it with honour and glory. We had been reproached as " Use nation de bouliquiers,"(a nation of shOpkeepers); but we had prodeced warifors who had maintained oar glory in arms ; oar sailors had. sesiained our naval superiority ; wherever we bad cobs. nice our' soldiers were a ble to protect them. They were now assembled, eater a period of 28 years, during which Sir W. Curtis had served them in Parliament, to con sider thole services which he had rendered, and be would 'silt whether any one of them could withhold from hint the sincere tribute of his approbation Wear, hear !)—the had been always accessible to them ; he had net only been easy of access, but he had been prompt in attention to - the subject of sp. _ - failed to -hear!)—Had he ever _ _ their kite- yaw what it was, . f weal iorm _ . °pinto.. - , --- _ it, and he wished them to unde rstand in so doing, attend In the Houseof Commons when 4- that at the time the letter was written, he was not rests reqoired hi's attendance ? or could they name aware of the arts of Oliver, or conscious that the any question interesting to the City and to the men at Derby were the dupes of his machinations.— kingdom at large, on which his conduct was onfaith.
