Mr. HARRISON, of Stockport (the individual who 14 designated as Parson Harrison in the Coon try fasters), is, seconding the proposal of the Re tolutiusw, said, that he had ulreally read over a great port of them, though he hid not dwelt upon every particular idea they cooteined. Of whit he raw, however, he particularly and pointedly ap heaved. He thought them such a string of Reso lutions as had never before been presented to the public, such as never before (le:treed so much of their cordial opprobation.—(Apploase.)--They did nut embody so much a request for the ob. taiument of their rights, as a steady and firm determination to obtain them by all legal memo. They also intimated, in these Resolutions, en intention to address the Prince Regent in be half of the recovery of their rights; PO that while they shoved a determination of coming boldly for ward to claim their freedom, they recognized the coustituted authorities of the land—they coupled humility to the Throne with their courage for the peopie—and 'hewed a full desire to acknowledge the station of their Prince, whose legal title they respected, a . title they would support and protect, au long as it afforded them support and —ftipptirrie.l—'rhey would demean thetnieke, as becaine them before their Prince; stud he'wolitd, is, his tura, .protect the StateTrom ray lialistake the occurrence in this country of those calamitous convulsions which took place in the French Revo lution, when the Government persevered in one course, and the people were driven to persevere in another, It was the opinion of some persons, that the people of England could never regain their rights without fighting for them. Ile did not think they were es yet driven to such au extremity; for he thought, that if every city, every town, every village, throughout the kingdom, came forward es the tnetropolis was doing on the present occasion, the people hail nothing to fear; that then nothing mote would be ! Weep:eery but for them to demand then rights, and they would certainly be obtained. TO meet in this manner. peaceably and.openly, was strict I y constitutional ; there Wlll4 nothing whatever illegal in so acting; 1111 lawyer would say there was any law against it ; it would then be the act of the nation at huge, and n 1011001 Cannot err. Jehovah. whir looks wuh sorrow upon your 1.11111-rittg", would then, so far from frowning iii. you, rejoice at your deliverance. Ile concluded by saying— . 4 I hope you will a ct with caution, wills ',rottener, mid firm ness—act like the people of the North —spew you deserve the enjoyment of the rights you seek ill re cover. As I may possibly have an opportunity of addressing you a t tain, 1 shall not victors ally further on your time than by erconditig the Reso lutions." Mr. 111111?—" Gentlemen, is it your wish' that the Resolutions which have been read should be singfy and separately pot, or pill altogether? we have much business to do , and as you have heater them all rend, it would be as well to put theiti cs& lectivelv, but you are to decide upon that your:" selves." Chew of hone. was in favour of the Riioll.: lions being collectively put, and Mr. Mild au• noiniced the decision ac coriliougly. A person in' he' crowd still manifesting is desire to be heard against the decision, at the entreaty of Mr. Hod, an avenue was formed for him in the cro'reil, said lie teas h e lped up in the waggon. On liii• way he said he did not wish to see the 'lower' or the Catholics revived and exercised ill Smiti.fleld. %Viten lie was placed in the waggon, lie said his slime was --- IVin. Coinior, mid that his °Joker WWI to have all the Resolutions, upon which there seemed to be so tautli unanimity, put collectively', ace such was the general wish . ;' but that the WWI'. ' Hie: , %Lich was the 14th, Omni(' lie submitted atilt. rattly for the sense of the Nleetiiig. This Was all lie required. That the applications for Catholic Emancipation, often repeated, and always barbarously refused, proved bey I all . doubt, that the only mean. by which the Catholics can hope for the removal of their slisairilities, is by Baiting with the People of England and Scotland, and &mindere Radical Rt f.,rm, which, by rectorial to all men squat etßltu., will secure to our Catholic Cuaistrywieu the five enjoyment of alt they ask. Ile moved that this Resolution be put separately. As no person present manifested the slightest inti mation to second the Motion for taking this Wm lotion in a manner; different from the rest, the Motion fell to the ground, and Mr. Collllof die mounted from the waggon. Mr. HUNT observed, that the motion fell for the want of a seconder. The general people of Erig land were, he said,tno enlightened in tile nineteenth ceistirry, to suffer religious persecution, and the Ca tholics or this empire too tolerant to countenance or encourage sorb scenes. lie hoped and trusted that the procredinga of this day would chew the nod enemies of the nation, that they could no longer tyrannize over the people, by the paltry trick of getting the Protestant to knock his head against the Catholic, and the Catholic against the Protes tant ; but that they would see all parties, whatrvter vere their religious persuasi tttt t prepared to unite ill ot.e effort, common to the whole population of the empire, to gaits for every class in the empire those rights which ought to be common to all. He had never obtruded his opinioir upon religious topics upon the people. Ile had, howeier, no hesitation iii declaring it to be, that every man ought to he permitted to worship Coil in his owti *ay. " I be here I am," said Mr. Hunt, the first man 111 public meeting in Smithfield, since the for Mer scene of 11001 buntings and lelOodshed in the days of bigotry, as took place On this igrousial, Who as serted on this spot the full right of toleration ; anal I trust 1 shall also have the happiness of being the flu st who will have to record your unanimous vole iii favour of this right."—(hreur applamse.) The Resolution. were (lieu again collectively put and curried by acclamation. Mr. HUNT then formally announced that the Resolutions were carried unanimously, with the ex ceptiou of, lie believed, one or two hands in the im mense throng—(" None. none . 1 " wee vociferated through the crowd)--and lie added, that he never signed Isis name at sassy public meeting with greater delight than he would as Chairman where such Re solutions were carried.—(Applause.) At this moment a flag, which had hitherto been furled in front of the waggon, wits unfurled, Hod triumphantly waved in the air, amidat the shouts of the people. It had " Englund," in gold letters on a red ground ; " Scotland," uu a white ; and "Ire land," on a green. Mr. Hu NT said, "This we announce as the Union Flag—it is einbleniatic of the unity of feeling be tween England, Ireland, and Scotland. Our ene mies will say, do doubt, that it is the bloody tri coloured flag of the French. Revolution. It is no such thing—it is plainly and simply the flag of Union—nor does it convey any other sentiment than that to which it is dedicated."—(Applause.) A red flag was then unfuiled, on which were in scribed the words " Liberty or Death."—( Loud cheers.) Mr. HUNT said, it was unnecessary to explain the emblem of the reJ flag, for it explained itself— it proclaimed the sacred words, " Liberty or Death," and the contemptible and abject wretch who would not subscribe to its motto, ought to live a slave and die unlamented.—(Great applusise.)- 4.

When 1 delivered • similar Remonstrance passed at a Public Sfeetillt in Palace-yard in September last to your Lordship for the same purpose, you, with all the urbanity of a finished Courtier, gave me exactly the same answer, althungh you ultimately declined to present it, sissigning on other reason than that of its hsving beets only aligned by myself, ita the Chairman of that Meeting. 1 have now re. crowed a letter, signed • 11.

When the persons who first called the distressed inhabitants of the City of London toge ther in Spafields, and proposed to carry their Memorial in • body to Carlton-house, to demand and roforce !admission into the Royal presence, your Lordship inveighed in sarong terms against the illegality of such a proceeding, and with great force;. • led out to me the inspolicy as well as the in justice of taking such a course, while the =N at %l ons of communication situ the Throue, through the Secretary of Stateovere &sutra open even to the memo at subject, in which sentiment at that lime, your Lordship will nut fail to rend lett, I heartily concurred. When the distressed inhabitants of Lancashire and Cheshire, tax Illooketerra, assembled together, with the intention of niarehing up to London to lay their complaints in person before his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, they were attacked and dispersed by a military foul., and many hundreds of them were dragged away and crowded into 11w most loathsome dungeons, and there made to endure the most cruel and horrid stifferings ; end now, when these very preen. send up their Petitions and complaints to be preseuteil to the Throne, they are coolly told by the Secretary of State, that lie declines to lay tie m before his Royal Master, thus sit once mocking the misery of the people, and violating that Brent rut 11l itt 'towel law, the ' Bill of Rights: the provisions of which excluded the House of Stuart from the Throne of England, and which placed the present Royal Family thereon, wheseia it is drearisi, that one of the rights de 'handed and insisted on by the people of England, was the right to mill' the Throne, or either House of Parliament.

An officer bad just then ascended the ' aide of the waggon. and said. " Mr. Harrison, pray attend me, I have a warrant against you." Mr. Harrison instantly olwyed the summons, and pro ceeded to descend from the waggon. The cause of the irsterrhpaiots- was proclaimed rapidly email • the crowd, end— Mr. HUNT came forward instantly and addressed the Meeting as follows: —" Gentlemen, I entreat you to attend to the regular business of the day.—l shall explain to you what basjost ocearred.—Mr. Harrison, of Stockport, who addressed you • little while ago, has been arrested on the waggon on a warrant. I believe, issued against him for a speech he delivered in the country at the time Sir C. Wobieley addressed the people.

Just as Mr. Mist had concluded, another posse of constables arrived behind the waggon, for the parpose. it was said, of enforc ing the warrant against Mr. Harrison, in anticipation of resistaece; but Mr. Harrison had gone off twenty minutes before, in instant obedience of the first mandate. The last posse immediately retired from the crowd, under demonstrations of popular displeasure. The Palace-yard Remenstratice was then read, and submitted here us on former occasions else where, as a model for the adoption of the Meeting. Mr. JAMES WALKER proposed the motion for its adoption. Dr. WATSON then came forward and addressed the Meeting. He said, they had just heard the re moustrance read winch bad been passed at Palace yard. It was the undoubted right of Englishmen to petition, address, or remonstrate with the Legis lative Antlioriiies. Tiny had heard from their worthy Chairman, that it bad been put by him into the hands of Lord Sidinouth, and they had also heard his Lordship's answets.—(Cries of " They are en answers ut all!".) —They had heard that Lord Siohnouth hail taken upon himself the respon sibility of refusing to put their Petit ions and Renton emitters into the hands of the Prince Regent, and in so doing had possibly protruded that information from reaching the rotul ear, which, if it had reach ed it, would have led to a redress of their griev ances. In rising to second this elution, he could nut refrain from expressing his feelings of regret that any Member of the Cabinet should have acted a part so likely in its consequences to prove inju rious to the commenity as that of withholding from his Royal Master that which might possibly have eiolightened his mind as to the real state of his peo ple, and perhaps ultimately round, d the attaiu ment of their just rights.—(Applause.) slr. HUNT tali, he felt sin difficulty whatever in putting this motion, us their Chairman, for lie had twice already put the same Remonstrance into the hands of bid Sitlitiouth, with a request that his Lordship would present it to the Pinter Regent; tile Noble Lord made no complaint the second time of the contents of what he presented hint the first, and therefore lie presumed it contained nothing im proper. If it contained any thing disrespectful to wards the Prince, as head of the State, he (Mr. Hulot) would not have presented it. Hit contain• ed any think disrespectful to Ministers, Lord Sid mouth would hate surely latticed such disrespect. If it contained any thing seditious, surely the No hie Lord would have said in, often as it bad been passed into his hands. If Lord Sidmouth saw it contained protium!, and Said nothing to him (Mr. Hunt) shout it when lie approached his Lordship again with a document plecisely the same, then he was as great a spy as Oliver, that was all that could be said upon the subject.—(Load laughter and applause.) Mr. HUNT added, that Lord Sidmooth told lilm, when he first went, he should present it to his Royal Highness the Niece Regent, if it contained not - king improper. He replied to his Lordship, that he did not think s' there was one word out of place." The question respecting the Remonstrance was then put and carried unanimo usly. Doctor WATSON again came forward and said, they had heard the Remonstrance read, which so inat.y attempts had been made to get presented to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent. The mind of England had at length become enlightened, every heart palsied for liberty, every arm was ready to he raised to mandolin their just sod legal rights. It was iooolietiVabie to Omsk that nyder such cir. committees., the prayers of 611 their Petitions should have been disregarded ; it was now plain that sio. thing less than IMMO Parliaments, universal suf. five, sad election by ballot, would satisfy the pe o ple. WIN monstrous to think that the per. pstage! in power should refuse the humble and earnest retpleats of the people. It will he scarcely helmeted in the page of history. that the ri4lits of the people were so long withheld from them by the Legislative Authorities. The people had now, h e trusted, among them men who would not forsake their Tights. Their distinguished Chairman, M r . Fluid, had been fur fifteen years combating for their privileges, and always at his post. Through him they were mainly iiiriehted for the continustice of the powerful aid of Mr. Cohhett, and even for thr perseveratirenf the venerable Major Cartwriv. , who, at one particular moment, had almost SW., from the principles of universal suffrage. ft Mr. hunt who again brought the l►atrnotir 7,1 .j.ir nit to his post, and fur this and his other ^r,4l ter. he had been rewarded with 111, sldi der mild calumny of the enemies of the people. lb.

It was lamentable to think that Parliament impended without taking into its ciiiii.ideration the state of the people, and the distresses which over. powered them. Let the people their consider them, .as the Parliament had overlooked their case, ai.d {prepare between this and the next meeting of Par , hament in January, to state their grievances in such a milliner as could not fail to command attention, (Applause.)—All they had been al.le to collect of the works 01 . the lest Session was, that it had ins+ posed three millions of fresh taxes upon the peo— ple, mud on that very claws which was term able to hear them. The people thetuselves—yes, the very artnulis would have done better for the Coun try then this. Hr concluded by wonting strongly it t h e con d u ct Lo r d Sithnoulh, for not present ing the Remunatrunce• to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, end by proposing the following lirstnitition Ived—That this Meeting, jealous of the right thry possess of addressilic by Petition. Aleinorisl, or Remus,. strance, the highest Authority of Covirimirni, with feelingt of indignation towards any individual that presumes to stand in the way of this right, publicly censure the conduct of Lord Sidminith, for having dared to withhold Petitions and Remonatrances from his Royal Ilighoess the Priors Regent. Mr. GAST seconded this Resolution. Mr. HUNT. in putting the question. said, that no doubt his Lordship would be great!) , gratified if this Resolution passed with complete ummimity.— (Laughter.)—llis Lordship would feel disappounted if they did not all agree upon it.--/Cry of " We won't disappoint him—we'll carry it !") Mr. HUNT-" Well, that is, of course, for you to consider. I understand it is intended to move the respectful thanks of this Meeting to the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, for his great anxiety to af ford us protection this day, and to take care of all peaceable people (.s we are), if necessary, by having at lion; the civil power to overawe the enemies of social order.—( Loud laughter.) The vote of censure upon Lord Sidmouth was then put and unanimously carried. Letters were then read from Mr. Johnson, and Mr. Marmont, of Manchester, regretting their in ability to attend in town on this occasion. Mr. Johnson enclosed the following Address, which was read by Mr. Walker. Smedley Cottage, July 18, 1819. To the Chairman of the Non-represented People of Loudon, assembled at Smithfield, to take into consideration the best Method of speedily ohnsiartag a Constitutional Reform in the House of Commons. FRIENDS AND FeLLOW•CITIZENS, In acknowledging the receipt of your Circular, inviting me to attend a " Piddle Meeting" of Non-represented Peo ple of the British Metropolis, to be held in " SMITUrteLD MARILVE-TLACB," on Wednesday, the 21st instant, your inviting that braes and respected Patriot, H. Hunt, Esq. to the Chair—your having invited ouch a band of excelleut and enlightened men to conduct yore husinees—and a struag desire on my part to see the assembled thousands of Radical Reformers in London meeting to assert their rights as men and Englishmen—all combine to tsi ge me to make every pos sible personal sacrifice to enjoy the glorious and delightful sight of such a Meeting; hut, I am sorry to say, a peculiar press of domestic business precludes the possibility of my enjoying such a heart.ebeering scene. However, Fellow. citizens, the Reformers of the North behold with testacy your determination to co-operate with them is tbe attain ment of what can alone save this count, y from total ruin— namely, a REAL RICFORNI. De then proceeded at considerable length, and with great freedom, to discuss the conduct of '• the sportive Canning," as he called him, and the • * Castlereagh. and to state his view of the conduct of public affairs, and the remedy which, lie thought, ought to be applied. These are some of the reasons which induce me to advo cate the principles of universal suffrage; and the possibility of unworthy men being elected to serve in Parliameat, is my reason for advocating annual elections, which prevents not those who have both talent and integiity from being re elected; and the great influence, not to say absolute power, which some individuals have over others, in the present state of excessive inequality of property, induces me to wish for election by ballot. Thus I have given you • brief sketch, not only of my political opinions, but also the rea sons oa which they are founded. Wishiug every possible success to crown our united efforts in the promotion o f a Radical Reform of the House of Commons, 1 am, Fellow-citizens, yours truly. JOS. JOHNSON. Mr. WALKER then proposed the following vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor, who, he said, had taken such care of them this day : That the grateful Thanks of this Meeting are due to the Right Hon. John Atkins, the l.ord Mayor of this City, for the uuusual degree of anxiety he has manifested fur the protection, and the due support he has afforded us in conducting the proceedings of this day, which is a proof that be is not insensible of the adintsuition giveu him at the last Common Hall. Dr. WATSON. in seconding this Resolution, could not help making an observation or two upon the conduct of the present Lout Mayor. flow ferent had not his conduct been from that of Str ham Walwortli, when Wet Tyler appeared in these very fields in behalf of the rights of the people.-- On that memorable occasion Wat Tyler had hol lered in his family one of the greatest indignities which could be offered to a man and a parent.— [Dere 'Dr. Watson described the permutes of the indecent outrage which led to Wet Tyler's resist 'towel—For this base act of the despicable tool of power, under the indignant feelings of a father Wat Tyler laid the ruffian at his feet. The great bulk of the people 'hewed at the time the inva riable sense of feeling which ever characterises the human mind at periods of intolerable oppression : they espoused and exhibited the natural feelings or huinituity and the real priuciples of justice.
