Comma, Orr. 9.—On this day the Annual General Meeting of the Cbezhire Whig Club was held at the Royal Hotel, Chester. it was annonneed that the Chair weuld he taken at half after three o'clock for the dispatch of beefiness, and dinner was fixed fur foe presieelv. Several Members of the Club having assembleti at the lionsefixed for boldinr the Meeting : • Lord Calms was called to the Chat r,and the Secretary (Mr. Swaawick) proceeded to report the proceedings which had takeh place since the last Meeting, from which it arneared that there had been doting that time many candidates for admission. A lost conversation took place on snhjeete connected with the bnsinessof therneeting, daring which ample tee • downy was borne by hoed Crewe. Earl Grosvenor, Mr. Davenport (son of the Member for the County), and whets, to the abilities and ell'-etive exertions of their Se cretary, Mr. Swanwick. That Gentleman was re appointed to the office of Secretary for the ensuing rear. la the coarse of the distnasion, Mr. Tampa. of The ifamehrster Grardiun, intimated to the fleeting, that many Gentlemen in Manchester were anxious that a lo cal Committee of the Whir (lob should he established in their neighbourhood, for the purpose of initiating new members; he was convinced that were such *Com mittee once appointed, it would be found that blanches- I ter and its vicinity contained a much greater number of gentlemen attached to iVhig principles than was at pre sent generally supposed. After a short coareesetion, Walrus decided that such a Committee should be appointed, and Mr. Taylor, Mr. Phillip', M. P., and a few other Gentlemen were ap pointed Members of it. The Secretary read the following Letter from the Dean of St. Asap,' : Sta.,—Permit MP to trouble You with my apologies toite Fttotirlent and Members of the Whig club for not making my appearance at it to-morrow. ".'lt is an Institution I most highly respect; bnt at the age of 77, and with a lameness that namely Confines me town elbow chair, personal attendance becomes out of the enrollee,. " "l'he principles npnn which I understand the Club is fonmletl, see those in with+ I was born and bred, and io the earlier part of my life, I had an opportn eity of vindicating.. It is with a degree of pride I shall always reflect, that in my person, and at my rislc, that great bulwark of civil liberty (the right of Juries to d.termine in matters of lilt l both the law and fed) was completely Established. " If I might venture to urge a recommendation tb the' CIO,. it would fie for them to publish a general declara- tion of the ground on which they have established themselves, and the objects they have in view. Amongst the..., a Reform in the Representation of the People in Parliament will probably be a leading one ; and another pe limps, of eqnal, if not greater importatice--a diminution of the overwhelming influence of the Crown, without which a Reform in the Elective Franchise can be of lit tle avail; for as long as the Minister has every thing to g;ce that tomingely changed, if, however reformed, or however es te! de I. we can look fora completely virtuous repre seer .tion. 4 I Omuta probably have said more on this 'Object, had I been aide to attend; but I really think some gene rd deel.ration necessary, if only to secure mime' those insolent misrepresentations which have appeared in the public. prints. " Gentlemen who are present will, I trust, ix ruse these few oh ions; and be assured my warm- 1 est wishes are for their success. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Yonr very obedient, isun;lsle Servant. (Signed) " W. D. SHIPLEY. " Rodryddan, October /Rh." It was decided that the Meeting should adopt inch a , Resolution, and that the Dean of St. Asaph should be requested to assist in drawing it np. At sit o'clock about eighty Gentlemen sat down to an excellent dinner ; among *bell' were Lord Grosvenor (Pre.i.lent), Admiral Tollemaclae. (VieePresident), Lord Crewe. Lord Delgrave, Mr. Phillips, M.P. Mr. Wil liams. M P. for Lincoln, Mr. Wickatrad, (I ligh Sheriff,) Mr. Toilet, Mr. Davenport, the Ilonourable Mr. Cum tiff-. Mr. Williams(Sub Sheriff), Mr.Swanwick, (Secre tary.) &c. The cloth having been removed, Nen Nobis Domaine Was .uni. '7'he PRESIDENT then gave "The King," which was drank with load applan•c. Tin , near roast wan The Royal Family, and may ti•ey never f , rget the principles which seated them on 0... Throne." The PRESIDENT, in proposing this toast, sap d a 11.,1 e that they never would forget those principles It tv a. known to all around him, that a King should reign e•slv for the benefit of his people; and, indeed, when tt.ev eonsidered the great personal advantages which a Iticuarei, gained from his situation, it was nut too smolt to expeet that be should pa p attention to the wants end utshes of his subjects. lt was ailnays found that ti ose Rings who did regard the welfare and happiness of their people ' were afterwards repaid by their love and affection. Gelmeped and trusted that the present Royal V imi!vt would keel this in their constant recollection— (in rl A use.) Song—" Go d save the King." In proposing as a tout " The Principles of the Con st!vtion of MSS," The CaitRUAN said, that the Club having been formed end .npported upon those principles, it was unnecessary f=ir him to enter into any explanation of them. He honed the spirit of this free country would extend itself eve , all other countries, and keep alive in all hearts the sacred flame of rational libertv.—(Applause.)—Much had hcert done in 16P1 towards the establishment of rational bberty ; yet it was to be wished that our ancestors hail de,- still more. When, however, we consider the diffi cit'ties which the great men of that day had to contend when it was recollected that they lived under a corrupt tiovernment and a tyrannical Court, it must he foe levied that their efforts had been great, and that much, very much bad been gained. Ilad their conduct been followed up and acted tmon by their siiccessors, there would have been no necessity for such dubs as that he had the honour of addressing, for liberty would wow he en firmly established, it would so pervade the breasts of all men, that any meeting to keep its flame alive would be useless.—(Applause.) —This, however. nnfortnnately, was not the case, and.. therefore the toast evt,irit he proposed became necessary; for unless those principles were revived, their situation would heroine so cl•plorahle, they should heroine stink, that in a short time they would be unable to assemble even as a Whig Clith.—(Applause ) The next toast was—" The People—may they know their rights, and knowing assert them." The Noble PIESIDSNT observed, that by . this toast it was meant that the people should assert the ir rights con. stitittionally, and in a proper manner. There was one ituonrtant right of the people which had recently been muelt abridged—he meant the Right of Petition ; he • hoped, however, that the law which restricted that sacred relit• would in a short time be greatly ' shied, if not altogether done away with. After this explanation ou part, he hoped that no objection could be made to the toast.—(lt was repeated, and drank with load and reiter ated applaut-.] Song—" Rule Britannia." The PRESIDENT said, the next toast he had to pro pose was " Lord Erskine and Trial by Jury." In pro posing this he could not help declanog, that ke felt inech reluctance in attaching say name, hoe ever tiLle, to:such a toast. The name of that ilinsteious character. time late Mr. Fox, was this year omitted fur that reason. and not in conspqnence of ant difference of opinion en tertained between him (Lord Grosvenor) and that great man relative to the late war. He was not now going to enter into that question; the Tate war was a matter of his tory, and its policy or inspoliey had erased to be a mat ter of doubt. lie said thus much, lest the club should suppose that the omission of Mr. Fox's name, was to be attrthnted to him personally. Ile was unwilling to at tech names to great questions; they were a club formed not for the present time, but as an example to future times, It was, then, to principles they were to look, and not to names .—( Applause . )—ll hen, however, they considered the great character of my Lord Erskine— when they recollected Lis exertions in the case of the late unhappy Qneen as well as the peculiar and nerd vatted manner in which his name was bound up with the question of the Trial by Jury, be thought the present toast ought to go as an exception to the rule upon which, generally, he (Lord (lrosvenor) wished to act. , ThP Walt was received trills much applause. • Lord CREWE rose to propose the Memory of his late its lustrions friend,• the Right Hon. Charles James Fox. His Lordship said, that early in life he adopted the prin ciples of Mr. Fox, and had steadily maintained them. He agreed with that great. ' man in thinking that the American was one original sin, and that it, nett to the misconduct of Ministers, was the main source of all our soliseqoent &throttles. He hoped, therefore, that his Noble Friend (Lord Grosvenor) would PIMP him if he proposed "The Immortal Adertory of time Right Hon. Charles James Fox."—(Loud cheers.) ' The PRESIDENT said, that he proposed the toast with the greatest pleasure; it was only for the reason' al ready stated, that he had omitted to give it. The toast was given from the Chair . and MO tisk' , great acclamations. The PRESIDENT said, the gull toast. he hail 11 4 06-' 4 pose was—" strong bold ot.Liberty,--a Free ress. —lt had, he said, been well renaatked that liberty ware " like the air we breathe ;" there had been recruit and severe restraints laid upon the Peen; bat it was to him extraordinary, that Ministers should think those re straints necessary, when it was notorious that at least four-fifths of the public Papers were some way or other lender their contend!, and in their favour. • This toast was received with loud cheers. Kong—" Life's a bumper." The PRESIDENT next proposed— " The essential form of Liberty, a full,, fair, sod free Representation of the People in the Commiess' House of !parliament." The question of Reform was, he said, one notes which a variety of opinions were entertained, but when it was spoken of in that Club, it could not he sneposed that they were for going to the extremes of it. In pro posing that toast, for instance, it could not be supposed that he was for Annual Parliaments, or Universal Suffrage. He did not mean that Representation should be equal throughout the country; no one could expect to equalise a great speedos of that nature permanently. How far the Leeislature might be inclined act go with the question of Reform he did not know *Rhos was convinced that they would soon see fy.of do-' ing something, in order that the•pregleaseight be more fully represented. The toast then given and drastic with load cheers. Admiral TOLLEUACIIS (the WialOresident) now rose and was received with great applause. Ile said he would preface the toast which he was almost to propose by say. leg that he felt much flattered on being honoured wilts the place of Vice President en the occasion of his first attendance at the Club, and be felt an additional pleasure in betagehrted to propose the health of their noble Presidia/A epgibe subject of Retina, he declared him self entirely in favour of that ineasure.—(APpittuakife— He might differ with many as to the mode of lariagieg Reform about. There were many who were for partial and temporising measures, but with those lie did not agree.— (Applause.) Ilea as for a general Reform [con tioued applause]; a Reform that would represent pro perty, and represent the people. To effect that, he saw no other means than purity of election—that the people should be not nominal bet real electors—ihat the voters should go to the poll without the possibility of being bribed or influenced, and then all • ity fur canvass ing would be done away with. Placemen and Pension ers would not be then selected, but men of abilities and integrity to watch over the interests of time people, and to uphold the cause of public liberty.—(Applamme.) The Gallant Admiral concluded by proposing tile health of the noble President, which was drag,: with three times three, amid loud and long continued cheers. His Lordship returned thanks, mod in a kn. / and a ble speech, a report of which we must reserve till Monday, expressed his sentiments on the various ' , objects con nected with occasion of the Meeting. He concluded by proposing The Whig Club of Cheshire and the adjacent rosin. ties—and may its example be speedily followed in oilier districts," (which was drank with applause.) Song—" Glorious Apollo." - - - - - Mr. DAVENPORT then rose and said, that there wasewa stronger proof of the progress of steady principles than the fact that they had gone forth into counties where germ of them did not before exist. Had the example of that Club been followed in other counties, three was nothing either in or out of Parlitunent which would so strongly operate in producing that change u bids the country so lung demanded.—(Applause.)—But unfortunately the present was not an age of political triumphs. It would appear that many Gentlemen considered the difficulty of the undertaking as a dispensation from the duty of making any effort. Where, he would ask, was the diffi culty of raising an independent spirit in any comity?? And here he would allude to smite friends opposite, two or three of a bunt bad collected the scattered friends of freedom in their district, not to he tried*" the test of any political catechism, in which many of them might di.agree, hat rmitstering them under the broad banner of England's Constitution. which began with William and ended with the Act of Settlement. If asked what their objects were, he would answer—to amend what was wrong; man had a right to exercise his faculties in ame liorating his political as well as civil condition. Ile might with truth assert, that those who instituted that (lob considered nut the triumph of local principles.— They were considered as second•ry objects ; the primary ohjeet was to discharge a great political duty—that of asserting the liberties of the country. The Hun. Bent. next adverted to the Cheshire County Petition to the House of Commons—u Petition not coached iu fawning language, but boldly complaining of grievances, praying a reduction of taxation, and an abolition °fuseless places, and a diminution of salaries. Toat Petition was sent forward; it stated the wants and wishes of the people, out the sordid objects of a few needy courtiers, shin were always careless of the fate of their country if they could butt promote their own selfish objects. An Hon. Gent. (111 r. Trafford, we believe) had, ut a Pitt Dinner, called that Meeting a pretended Meeting—it was at the sometime said, that the taxes of England were a benefit ;yid not an evil. Let the Hon. Bent. attend there next leeting, and if his sayings should be as genuine as those, they would no doubt be set down amongst his other claims to public confidence and public gratitude.— (Applause.) Ile would appeal to those who heard him, whether that County Meeting had not been nneneronsly and most respectably attended. A Rev. Bent. (Mr. Watdsley) bad slandered it, and baring done so, it was only left for its supporters to expose its Revere:Wl calum niator. The Rev Aleut. had declared the Meeting illegal The High Sheriff, being • young man of spirit, and having his wits about him (a laugh). sas at no lose to defend the Meeting from the imputed charged of it legality ; for he happened to have one tef the Acts ; one of the favourite six, he believed. in his pocket, from which it appeared that the Meeting was perfectly legal. It was quite natural that any Gentleman who moved resolutions in opposition to the old Tory Faction should meet with witch abuse. and he (Mr. Davenport) came la for his full share. With respect to the Reverend Gentleman, be (Mr. Davenport) had no objection if lie should meet with that preferment which, no doubt. his extra-parochial duties would entitle him to in an other quarter. The Tory Party had drank his health; ' they held him in adosiratien. and worthy (be preowned) of clerical preferment; and for whati For bar* gone to prevent a meeting of 2,1100 of his fellow-sub jects from petitioning fur relief from unparalleled die- ' 1 tresses; fur scattering charges, against that Meeting, which he could not support; which charges were die proved in the face of upwards of 2,000 persona-- With respect to the present state of the Agricultural In terest, he was aware that one part of society profited by the distresses of landed proprietors; and it was some satisfaction to him, for the difference of his income. to see that the poorer classes of society were living in a state of comparative conifo:t. The lion. Gentleman. ad verting to the question of Reform, said lie felt it neces sary to say a few words which had been delivered against its supporters—and among others on the Liverpool stage, by • gestleman webe r Lariat( retired for 4, mo ment, lately re-appeared as a principal performer. To be sure it was better to be governed by liveliness thee by dtilleran, and let Mr. Carmine's merits be what they eight, God knows he was not going to defend them, k *as something to know that he was meet cordially de tested by all the Wormed party. The Right. flow Gentleman had, like Falstaf '. justice, the art of wrest. pg the tree caste the wrong way. His sopitistriee„how epee, were most compietelyexposed by the powerful pen or Mr. Cotkett. Mr. Cannon asked—" if you reform the 'Commons, whet do you do with the Lords?"— That was • sousethieg like a man, who toalog asked to ere over his dissolute babies refined to do so, as .he did not know bow his wife would like it—the wife and ' the Lords being the weaker parties. The Right Hon.' tlentleman mast certainly know their Lordships better than to suppose that they would enter into a systematic quarrel with the House of Commons—whose business it was to vete the supplies. That compliment to their Lordships was pethaps intended as a return for the obiigstion of. titre having thrown out his Catholic Dill in the course of the last Session. Dot the most over whelming of all the Right Honourable Gentleman's as. sertions was Where be asserted that the patronage of the Crown operated as a counterpoise to the influence of the Press. There he took them at epee to the dark ages ; for, let it be observed, to what extent that reasoning would go; if the principle were once admitted. then nothiog short of oppression would take place—lie would reason by brute force and not by public opinion. His object seemed to be— " That a maw must be strong, . If be means to do wrong." If he were asked by any one how far he meant to carry Reform? lie would a'sswer in the same way that he would to a physician who might ask what quantity of medicine be would take fur any complaint /—lie should say, just stated; as might be necessary to impart • healthy action to t wed part, and no more. In conclusion, he red a kind and conciliating disposition to the Chi should approximate rather. than diverge. always adgering to those main points upon which there coolti be no difference of opinion among the friends of the Coastitation.—The Honourable Gentleman sat down ▪ general cheers. The Passinewr Shen gave "The Health of Mr. Davenpoet, witi mmatvibuted by hie exertions to the prosperity of the Club." The Honourable Gentleman returned thanks. The next toast was —" The cotes of Civil and Reli gion. Liberty allover the world." Song --•• Tyrolese Mr." The company continued together in the bands of harmony till • late hour.—Several other excellent. speeches were delivered. for • hich we have not room at present, and which it would be treatise with injustice to abridge. We shall therefore postpone till our next, a further accoant of the proceedings. ARR. put. 1 Deals • - • Waterford 2 I ft. & Jersey • 0 O Lisboa 0 O Gottealtore - 1 PRICE OF SINN3IB.
