That on the contrary, the pion and tonilitet of one diaro rous Expe dition after another, stands vindicated on the Journals of your Hon. House ; and that nothing aippears there to deter his Majesty's Ministers from again wa.ting tae blond mid trea sure of the country, as they have lately dime in the Expedi tion to Walcheren. Yodr Petitioners farther beg leave to state. that they are humbly of opinion, that this intim:illy of the planners and conductors of disastrous enterprlxes, and the consequent re petition of such einerprizes, is no At.lerWisC to he accounted for, than by the mode in which many of the Members of your Hon. House obtain Seats therein; and especially, by the introduction into your Him. House of numerous Place men, pensioners, and dependants on the Minister for the time being, whom your Pet Masters hoinhly conceive to have an obvious interest in forbearing to condemn, When etmdentria tion would remove from office, those to whom they look up forfortune and influence. Your Petitioners further beg leave to state, that this their opinion hunt late been strongly confirmed; by the • open de fence of the system of Parliamentary Corruption, which, during the last Session of Parliament, was set up in your Ho nourable house, and which drew from yottr Speaker the me morable remark, that the practices so defended, were" prac tices, at the mention of which our ancestots would have start ed with nalignation and disgust." . - Your Pe titioners have been still more strongly confirmed in the opinion above Stated, by the fact, that Lord Viscount Castlereagh, a Menther of your Honourable House, Was in the said Session, convicted of the t &nee of offering East Indio patronage in barter for a Seat in your Honourable House; and that this offence, and the vindication of the sys- Wm of corruption above alluded to, woe passed over by your ,Honourable Howe without any vnte of censure thereon. And that Si: Francis Burdett, Bart. also a Member of the Honourable House- having, in a Letter to his Constitu ents, on the committal Of John Gale Jones, questioned the right of your Honourable House to commit any one, nit being, a Member of the same, for an olleacc cognizable by the laws ttf the land, has for the publishing of te abve-mentioned' Letter, been himself committed a prisnee h r to the o Tower. Your Petitioners further beg leave to• state, that, reflect ing upon the long-continned impunity of tae authors of na tioo:a disaster?, and also upon tha impunity of Lord Castle reagh, and the vindication of Parliamentary Corruption, ps compared with the proceedings lately adopted against Sir Froncis Burdett, they are greatly apprehensive that an opi nion may go abroad among the people at large ; that a atm lints maintenance of the lik.aty of the subject is a more fla grant offence in the eyes of yoar Honourable House, than the wanton destruction, by rashness and imbecility, of thbusands of his Majesty's gallant soldiers and seamen, the profuse ex penditure of the public resources, or the. corruption of the representation of the people. Your Petitioners, abstaining from animadversions on mat ters which will, in all probability, become the subjects of le gal investigation, humbly slate to your Honourable House, that, moldering the premises, and being anxiintly desirous that the true dignity of your Honourable House should be maintained, they do strongly, but respectfully press upon the consideration of your Honourable House the necessity of a Reform in the COIIIIIIOIIS House of Parliament, which may ensure the purity and integrity of your ll ouo urable House, and, above all, the responsibility of 'Ministers. And they further beg leave to submit to the wisdom of your Honourable House, the expediency of summoning Sir Francis Burdett, to assist in the deliberations which must ne cessarily take place dn this momentous subject—and also of performing what your Petitioners cannot but consider as au act of justice, by the liberation of John Gale Jones from hu ‘aionnient. LIVERPOOL LETTER TO SIR PRdS. BURDETT. Copy of the Letter to Sir FRANCIS BURDITT, Bart. bearing the. signatures of upwards of 3000 of the most enlightened and respeetable-iuhabit ants of Liverpool, which, we understand, was delivered yesterday to that Hon. Baronet, by J. Cattiii., Esq. the Gentleman deputed for that purpose. • We; the undersigned inhabitants of the town of Liverpool and its vicinity., beg leave to offer you our sincere and grate ful atlorowledgmenta for that zeal and ability with which, nit so many important occasions, you have stood forth in de fence of the rights and liberties of your fellow-citizen.Q, and for the indiums integrity and tiranne,a by which your politi cal character lea been so eminently distinguished, (in the pre,ent occasion, we desire inure particularly to Seta, our public approbation of that line of conduct which you have thought it incumbent ou you to pursue, in oppo sition to measures, which ne cannot but regard as entirely repugnant to every principle of a free' Constitution, and ut terly subversive of our rights as Englishmen. We have ever deemed it an excellence peculiar to the Government of our co , :titry, that it was a Government of Law, to which all other authority wirsubordinate, and by which the rights and duties of the subject were cicaily and accurately defined; if however, tinder the vague and indeterminate name of Privi le*,e, the Representative Body are to be invested with no arbitrary power of dispensing with the laws, we are at a loss to comprehend on what fimudation oar much boasted li berties rest; such a discretionary authority has ever been deemed to constitute the seri essence of despotism, and the exercise of it would at once render uttgatory all the salutary provisions of our ancestors for the security of personal dom. To wrest this dangerous prerogative from the hands of our earlier Monarchs, was the great object fur which they so utility and so successfully tonteuded; and were we now to coon cede such a power to the popular branch Of oar Constitution, it would, in bur apprehensions, be productive of conseqaences still more injurious, since that jealousy and suspicion, which might controul Its operation as ao exertioa.of prerogative, would cease• to influence when it was exercised wider the mildeunattwof privilege;. Fur ie.w•fwsa, heaythosty so secuFe or so pernirions, as wised it assumes the semblance of free dom. When privilege is perverted to such purposes% there fore, We Cannot help viewing it as an arbitrary assumptidn of power at once uncoustitutional, illegal, add unjust; in direct violation of the Great Charter of our liberties; supported ou the authority of no one statute; and revolting to all our coo ceptions of justice, which forbids the characters of accuser and judge to be united in the same party. Bat though utv willing to entrust to our Representatives stick an indefinite power of commitment, yet we are far from questioning sach as authority, when immediately necessary for - theremoval of obstructions that directly impede their proceedings; but we see no reason why all other supposed violations of privilege may not safely be confided to the cognitance of oar crlininal Courts; nor can it surely be regarded as derogatory to their character, tit resort to the same mauls of redress which our Monarchs thenwelVes have recourse to, foe the vindication of their dignity nod authority. Conceiving, therefore, such a 'claim to be at variance with the whole system of our jurisprudence, and subversive of the very foundations of civil liberty, we regard the manly oppo sition which yon have made to it, as dictated by your love of the Constitution and the Laws; and though wu regret the privations to which it has subjected you, yet we feel confi dent that you will derive ample means of consolatiOn in the approbation of your own conscience, and the applause Of good men; nor willposterity, Sir, be wanting in its just tri bute of respect and gratitude to your virtues aud your meths, as the intrepid assertor of the plbplera rights, and the .en lightened advocate of truth, liberty, and humanity. That you may twig be pre►erved to us, to exert those great abilities with which yon are entrusted, fur the common bene. fit of your country and mankind, Weer sincere and fervca pra yel. Tfl STATFSMAN. We e the Undersigned, Housekeepers and other Inhabit:pis residing a ithin the City and Liberty of Westniinster, deeply deploring the lwe alarming Riots, and believing She same to have hen stimulated by a delusion calculated to work up the. minds of the lower orders of the p'eosle..s. acts of violence injurious to the public peace, and clootottus in the highest degree to the safety of the item. •t• ,übject, and to property iu gener a l, and apprehsnsive the probability of a recur se.oce of similar acts of net ,age arising from the exertions which are usisg by misgovoled individuals to keep up the ter tarot —fe -I ourselves called upon at this crisis of getwial alarm, to declare publicly our sentiments, and earnestly solicit the ellen:ion of our fellow-citizens to the spirit of insubordia' nation which threatens the destruction of our invaluable Constitution with all the train of evils attaching to life and property, which are not foreseen, or in the contemplation of many of these deluded individuals who are disposed to for Ward the designs of the Demagogues of Faction and Anarchy& Many of the undersigned are old ennugh to recollect the horrid and digracefal ellects of delu,ion rind error practised upon a misguided multitude in the year 1780, by which this metropolis was given up to the wild ravages of an infuriated snub, for more than a week, duriug.which, property to an immense extent in point of value was destroyed, and many houses and public edifices reduced to ashes, to the terror and dismiy of more than half a million of his Majesty's peaceful and loyal subjects-oand at a period too when no real evil or cause of discontent existed. The attempts in 1792 all 179 1 3 to subvert the Government and Constitution of the country by a vast body of inditriduals equally worked up to a pitch of misgitided phrenty by the mania of the French Revolution), mud be in the recollection of many inure, who now reflecting on the miseries which this .Revolution has produced, not only in Fratire, but throughout the whole continent of Eueoue, must bethank fill to a beneficent Providence that the machinations of the demo. gape. of faction and sedition were thendefeated, and that this .happy codntry has escaped the ravages which have enslaved so many nations ; and instead of thstmuch-boasted freedom which Trance was expected to enjoy, has entailed upon that unhappy country, a military despotism and tyranoly, which scarcely knows any parallel in the history of the world —e x hihiting a sad and melancholy example of the d roger o; dis seminating wild theories among the multitude, and of bring ing into action their iii-regulated passions, which the history of all nations have evinced to be fraught with every possible evil to the peace and well being of civil society and of all regular Governments. To expect perfection in any Government, is a vain hope, while mankind themselves are so imperfect ; hut looking to - , the present state of all the nations in the world, and parti?' cularly to those in civilized Europe, it may be triumpliantiY asked, where is the country its be found which enjoys so) great' a share of civil liberty, as this highly favoured nation ? where the laws are administered with so much purity? and where a beloved and reveled Sovereign has, for half a century, go verned with so much inildosos, or exhibited to his subjects sorb an example for religion :rad virtue ? Has he not .maid tested these excellent qu ilooSa, by repeated recommendations to his Parliaments and Moats:eta to adopt measures for the correction of all those abuses in the public expenditure which have occasionally arisen, an I must arise in every Government t and is there not tlbusidanc.e of evidence Ail convince any man that will he open to conviction, that Boards of Commissioners have been estahlished, and Committees funned in the present, and al most every preceding Parliament. during his NT tj;...t .. .'s auspicious reign, for the purpose of correcting triese,ahlts.:? and are they not daily in the pregress of correction ? Can it be denied that there Ms been a progressive prospe rity In the emintry, daring the present reign ; and that this prosperity, arising from improvements in agriculture, manu factures, and commerce, has been rapid beyond. all example, during the last twenty years. notwithstanding the pressure of . a war of unexampled difficulty, ;there, in the revolving of singular and unprecedented events, the whole force of all the maritime Powers of Europe has bren brought to bear, at dif ferent periods, against this comparatively small c tunYry ? Is it not a matter of exultation, that in a strttegle against suck formidable anil numerous enemies, this country has not, during a war of eighteen years (with a short interval), lot single inch of territory ?—ls it not true, on the contrary, tleat the energy of his Majesty's Government has so crlppled the Naval Power of all the Ileiligereilts in Europe, that an coed my's flag dare not appear on the ocean without a certainty of captUre?—is it not also true, that (Stith the single exception of two barren Islands in the Indian Ocean) there does not exist a single colony or possession, heretofore belonging to France or.her Allies, pithier in the West Indies, the Continent of South America, or in the East Indies (Batavia extepteds which policy forbids to capture), which is not now in the possession of Great Britain—sgiving to this country the cous inand of the commerce of the world? Does history record a nation arrived at so proud a height as Great Britain and Ireland at this moment? These are facts that cannot be contradicted, and the result (so far) of the success of the present contest is a matter of astonishment and wonder to the whole stf the civilized world. •It is true, awl it is snitch to be deplored, that the Public hurtheas areteavy ; hut it. is also true, and self evident, that the increased opulence of the natiott has been folly equal to the pressure. The In xisrles and the splendoetr of the higher orders of society.do not appear to be diMinished. The mid dling classes appear also to enjoy even attire emnforts thou a hen taxes were not one-fourth of what they areal present, While the condition of the lablitriog people is equal, if not Netter that at any former period. , ' The wise measures.udnpsaLla the coarse of the mien of our benign Sovereign, have provided a remedy for the Paine lion of the National Debt, which is advancing with a de- , gree of rapidity towards that great object which is truly as tonishing, and will soon operate powerfully in diminishing the public border's. Before we complain, therefore, let as look to the state of the Continent of Europe compared with the happy Country in which Providence has been pleased to place us, and judge of out true - sltuatiOn. In France, and the .Countries she has brought under her yoke, it is known, to a certainty, that the taxes are higher than in Great Britian, and collected in the m.st arbitrary manner by the Military Poster—the Agri culture is every where crippled—the Manufactures are para- Is zed—and the Commerce almost annihilated. The unhappy people under the dominion of France are actually. compelled • to make bricks without straw. The means of subsistence by the different sources of industry are denied to them, while they are oppressed by exactions and contributions (o support the Military, by which the little capitals they possessed are nearly exhausted, and their situation rendered unhearahle by a system of ts runny and oppression which has scarcely any parallel in the history of the world. But this is not ail.—Their arms are torn from the bosom of their families by the Conscription LAWS as soon as they arrive at the age of 18 years, and sent to perish in the armiesof Spain and Germany, where, there is the strongest reason to believe, V.30,0tX) have been laid in their graves by sickness and the sword during the last two years. How very difierent is the situation of the People in this ' happy Country ; and how much reason they have to he thankst• fat to Divine Providence for thl blessings they enjoS These, and many other coo-ides:ohms, have tuduced undersigned to manifest their thaukfultiess to Divine Prods-. deuce, for the many blessings they enjoy,, by supporting the Constitution', from which these blessing have been derived; and to declare, as they now (10, in the Most explicit terms, their firm resolution to stipport the Government atm venera ble mid virtuous Soverei.n; as by law established, against all combinations to excite popular clamour, by diaeininatiog wild and imprarticabletheortes, which have lascn at all times. deprecated as pregnruit with 'the greatest danger, amid the ar guments in their favour satisfactorily refuted at ditterent times during the last And present century, by the wisest. the most enlightened, and the most virtuous +Alen that 114, ur auy other country ever produced. ~ ~ bR~ ~i-'..

IN our Paper of 'Wednesday, we laid before out Readers the division on Mr. BR No's Motion fur PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. We congratulate the Country upon this fact..-that, after a struggle of thirty years, which struggle was begun by the late Mr. PITT, they (the People) have polled Otis IIuNDRED AND FIFTEEN Members, f. and in behalf of Reform. Now, there is this pleasing conclusion to be drawn from the fact that, going on as we have been doing, with, the same degree of celerity, Reform must ar... rive r amd that too from the House itself, in the course of about SIXTY YEARS from this time ! The people ought to be content with this result. Sixty years more, and the tnajo., rity of the House ore with you, and you have Reform without cost of any kind ! There are, however, some turbulent spirits in this, as in all °tiler countries—men who are not endowed with patience for this course of things; we therefore again suggest what we conceive to be a very ample remedy, and what will Reform the House, at once, that is to say, at the next Gene. ral Election. 'file people begin at the wrung end, if they arc in a hurry. They should in that case begin with the Candidates, and not with the Mem. burs—let them make their bargain with their Can. didate, before they elect him—let them take the advantage which the Constitution gives them ; lot Ltheua demand a pledge from the Candi-, gate that he will vote for a due Representation of ihe People, for the abolition of all sinecure places and pensions, And will guard the public purse in all other ways, and by all other proper means. If the People will not do any thing for themselves, when the power constitutionally re. vertu back into their own hands, they deserve all he treatment they complain of ! WE have given a most singular document, en. der the head " DECLARATION." It is COpit'd verbatim from a ban Mill prepared to be distri. buted by the Clergy and Churchwardens, &c, of every parish, for thefpurpose of gaining COUNTER.* ADDRESSEs.
