9r7 No 1307. • A .Pri J.•:_:1 CITY COMWOd HAbfh particularly alluding into. his Councils—[There was a general exclamation, "it is - lns insult to tie country"]. Gentlemen, though I have used the word moderation, I would not have you suppose that at a crisis like the present it is the moderation of indifference that will suit ,us. If my house was on fire, I should not applaud those wbo woukl play the engines moderately ; or if my vessel had sprung a leak at sea and the crew- were called to the pumps in order to save it from being lost, I - should not say that they did their duty if they .were to pump moderately. No, Gentlemen, the means of providing for our safety must. be pro. portioned to Om danger that assails as, and I am persuaded in addressins this great .assembly that while I am recontineadingyou to set with gimlets. tien,- you mil at the same time act with wisdom and firmness. [Applause.] Gentlemen, it ap. pears to sue that the question you are called upon sotemilly and seriously to consider is infinitely more interesting than the one. which 'was formerly &Ai. tated by your forefathers. I mean the question of General Warrants. It is of more importance in proportion as the search fur papers under a general Warrant is of less consequence then seizing ai man, capturing his person, and taking him to prison, So far then the present question is more igteristing than that which occupied the attention Of the people 40 years ago. But, Gentlemen,' it is no new question. Whatever may have been said to the contrary in the House of Commons, the authority of that Honourable House arbitra rily to commit and imprison men at its own plea'. sure has repeatedly been denied. In the early part of the last century there was a most solemn address by* the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled to Queen Anne, denying the right of the House of Common*" to commit and impriikki persons for conduct which was cog. nizable in Courts of Justice—they declared in `their address, that if there is any power that can eontrOul or prevent anypenon'from receiving the ,bekeit of the law, the person so controuled and 'Placed out of the protection of the law, ceases to be a freeman; 'Phis is a declaration of the Hensel of Lorthsthefisselves, upon an occasion when the Home of Commons, ,as in the present instance, claimed and exelicised the right of imprisoning the subject. Gentlemen, I will not take up much of your time upon this point,. becaustrit has been so well disctissed In variod* ways. I am persuaded slit FRANCIS nufedErr. The City of London,. acting *ith its acCui toed energy,iisdosi, sus eensiatency s haveaunc 7 oiled the measure! recently adopted by the City o f Westmintter and the 'County. bf miudicsex, an d illYk• expressed theit Unqualified .disapprobi. tat of the arbitrail and unconstitutional prooted.. jogs of the House of . Cous . In conseqnence of a requisition to the LORI) k t yp it , signed by a Very considerable number of toe Li v ery of Loudon, a Common Hall was yes. acth betsto i ‘tiii.ll•3ll in the City, totake into co le•iderisituit the tlarmitig. assumption of prici ie,:o by the ilutniurabte the I( 'use of Commons o f ar rotinit and itasprisonin4, during pleasure, th; people of Entglatid. for offences Cognisable In the usual Courts of Lai; . . • By t*elio. 0 1 / 4 4 04 this spacious Hall was filled with t w o Livery, : but it was past one before the Lord Mayor ant Alderthen came upon the tins.

The Lnho MATot wis ileteived with much sp. plause.

The usual Proclamation for silence havitig been made, the Precept for calling thu Meeting was read ; after Which; The LORI) MAYOR. caste forward *I tW I Gentlemen of the -Livery, I have the boned'. of convening you this day t in Consequence of the rtquisition L hold in itty hand, which is signed by a very Considerable number of the citiiens of this most ancient and respectable City,--that reqeisi tinn I Shall Om, into .J 0 biaas.., 4 4.l.be- counsel:. r, in order that h'e may read it; and If any Ocutleman eidii afterwards come forward abil de. liver his sentiments, I trust„yeu will give•him a candid and impartial hearing...E/Ve mill, exclaimed th.: Livery.] • The Requisition was now read. .• Mr. FA V ELL—Gentlemen of the Livery, when I survey the present appearance of. this JIM, I cannot doubt for one moment that you feel a deep interest in the common danger which has made it necessary to call a Meeting of the Livery this day. I am persuaded 'that you arc Neatly in earnest; bet if you are not most seriously ;In earnest in defending your rights, I can assure you that your enemies are itt earnest in their en. deavours to take them away from yoit. When I hail last the honour of addressing you, I did say, . that from the extraordinary events which had hap,. • peoeti since the time I 'before mblressed you, and subsequent experience has confitmed my opinion, that t itlimit the public vigilante of good men, this Hall might he used for transacting the busi. ness of Police Magistrates; but its doors would be for ever shut against . sfreoimen. and that we s Should have little to do but to sing a solemn dirge 1 over the departed liberties of our country. After all titat has been done in .violation of • Magna Charta and the Bill of Rights, it must, I think, be adtaittesl by every one that without the exertion of a vigilant and active spirit among the People, those *acre(' acts will prove but mere paper bar. tiers 2,7,tiiist • despotism. It is Udt a short time agn - since the people were told that they had no. thing to do with the laws but to obey them, and but little to do with the taxes except to pay them ; but now, Gentlemen i the question is, not whether we are to obey the laws, it. is whether wo are to submit to a vigour beyond the laws. [Neper, never, etc:aimed a number of the Lircr,y.] I do conceive we stand on that ground, and that I ;nay in this respect when I ant recommending to you %hat means you ought to pursuc t use the 'cord 46 Moderation." True wisdom, Gentlemen, con , ists in the adoption of those measures which • the Constitution will justly warrant ; but when I recommend moderation to you, I have not the greatest CN tmples to mention foe your imitation a:non4 your enemies. Certainly they were not the mo-t moderato yr men who took upon themselves to execute an illegal warrant by an armed forec. Certainly it was no great example of moderation, when, after you hail been e*tremely rixions npo.n an important public quistion, and ..h:•rt an inquiry was about to take place into the :Antes which had produced an unexampled waste of the blood and treasure of the country, it was Dot, I say, a proof of moderation that upon such an occasion, and at moth a momentous period, the doars of the Ilunso of Commons should have been closed against you, in order that by such a step you might be left as much in the dark as pwsibles This is another recent • instance of the political moderation of those by whom the country is at present represented. But I think the county of Cambridge has given a pretty good hint that it does not agree with such inutlerAti „on. [ilpplause.]— ou find, however, that the Ministers of the tlreient day have not been ashamed to advise his Majesty to take thli moderator to whom I' amt half •the people of the country they -mum perSuado the other half that' they had acted right in exercising so unjust a power. I need not tell you that the measure which has been resorted to by the House of Commons is an indirect attempt to make an attack on the liberty of the press. 7-- The consequence of admitting filch a principle is awful to be contemplated—l do not knelt how, if it is admitted, we can justify expressing ouriadig nation at the conduct Of the House 9f Commune even in this public nianner. .1 do not see how we could do so withotit violating the assutned cf that Honourable House, because it might he a constructive act of breach of privilege. It appears umo that if the power claimed by the House of Commons was to be fully admitted, we should have nothing to look to for seved years but to our septennial release from such a system of slavery ; and if rye were to admit every thing which is contended for by the Itouse of Commons, the argument would be ten times—ten thousand times more conclusive, for the purpose of sliming that there ought Id be a reform in the House of Coinnions, and that there should be a real repro. I tkattation of tho people: [continued plaudits.] i . t come to the particular point which refers ta the Imprisonment of Sic Francis Burdett,. I shall Ility.but little respecting that illustrious Ba ton*. ouse the question respecting him may Ile cotitidered to be depending in a Court of Ladw. I will only now observe, with regard to the power assumed by the Rouse of Com tioasf that it reminds use of dialogue which is to be found lit the writings of the Wreck anther Lucian: In that dialogue the Quit piter is repretented as being engaged in conversa tion with a countryman ; the contending parties went on for some time reasoning very well tor. then; at last. the countryman put an argnment that Jupiter did nut like, acid could nut answer, and that Jupiter showed, hint his, thunder.. Thus . it has been with the [louse of Commons. 'l l he lions., of Commons did not like the answer of the illustrious Baronet, and therefore they. showed hint their Warrant. [Bravo! lirduca!] As the thunder -was the only answer the countryman re. ceived (rota Jupiter, so was the Speaker's War rant the only answer the patriotic Baronet re , ceieed front the Route Of Commons. Gentlemen, it is too feeble any Otitis I can say to express my admiration of the manly and spirited manner in which that llonourable P ers o nage has stood fur. ward in defence of the rights of his fellow.citizeus.

Long subsequent to that peeled, if you look to the proceedings of the year 1741', and advert to the speeches of Sir John Barnard, :On for many years represented this city, pun, will find that they .arts f it of every thing which I could wish to say. Ton will find that he was constantly pressing the 'louse for a Reform in the Represen. cation, and fur the short duration of Parliaments. tie told them, if they did not satisfy the people, they could not expect to possess their confidence. In the year 1741, the great Lord Chatham, then a young man, told them the same truths. lie told them, that if they did not reform their House, and exclude Placemen and Pensioners; it would not only cease ta,convey the tOice of the people, but it would convey a voice which would be directly opposite to that of the people. [So it willt claimed multitudes.] Now, Gentlemen, refer to what Mr. Fox told the Electors - of Westminster ho told them, that if the Rouse .of Commons re.. fused to grant the object of their Petition, Which was for a Reform in Parliament, they would cease to be their representatives, and that it would be constitutional fur the people fhernselves to assume that power of reform which their delegates,. the Rouse of Com Mons, 'had thrown a.

I would rtad-gtomilmtl. am, _a(raid of . •*of your-time. (Kind, reedy mounded/met el parts.) They say, " when we reflect on the danger of entrusting power too long in the min hands—when we consider hew. our interests may be sacrificed by long and continued Parliamentsi. without a recurrence to the People ; we feel it out duty to require you to prosecute ra repeal of the Septennial Acts and to restore Triennial Pattie. tnents, as the principal, Means of reform.

It appears from , the speeches of a Member of that,llouse; Colonel Barre, that in dressing the House, he used;this argument. lie says, " Since I had the honour of a seat iss thit Haute) I have been a witness to strange transac.
