I have now to nand out to you w hat appear to me to be the causes el that continued and complicated distress which threatens to overwhelm us. Few of you are old 'sough to remember tsw American war. That was a war waged against liberty ; I 00 , , God be praised! it was unsuccessful. The addition to tie Boioughmoager debt, by that war, was upwards of one eee hundred and ten millions. W. 11, ibis was but • trifle to the addition made to the debt by Pitt's " glorious" wars meocost liberty ; for, independently of the immense same les :ed yearly, the permasent additioo to the Burouglamonger age Ut was upwards of seven hundred millions.'

For suppose that these w.o.ked wars had never taken place, the debt eonseqeently would riot hare been eoutracted ; and these forty mullions v weld have remained with ourselses, instead of going to pay Borooglimongers and their creditors. Take the popula tion of Great Britain and Ireland at fifteen millions of souls. Fusty minima , ' of pounds would give fit 13s. 4d. to every man, woman, and child in the king.Zom—being tat. a year to a man with • wife and four children ; and if the oilier epensea of the Goverionseut were coudseted with economy, t oe raving would be much more considerable.

The cause of the evil having thus been pointed out, the nest thing is to provide a remedy for it; and this, of coarse, most consist in a retorts of the Com mons House. As to Ike extent of that reform, there and various opinion*. For my own part, after the most mature consideration, I one decidedly no advocate for a radical "fortlei on the hosts Of annual elections, universal suffrage, and looting lay ballot. As to the first, • year is sorely a long.enongli period to pot uncontrolled coofidetice in asp mail. If he has satisfied yon in the discharge ~f his truss, you will re-elect him: if yon have no longer coufidence in him, you will dismiss him, as lie utight to be. As to Poiversal Suffrate, peeing that ell men are errsl in the sight of their Creator, I cannot mideratand way one man should bare a vote, and another not have one. Is not the life, the Comity, the property of the poor man. as dear to him, as the life, the family, the property, of the rich man is to him? Du we not all contribute more or less, accord ing to our means, to the exigencies of the State? Are we not all liable to be called ispori, at any moment, to risk our Imes for its defence ? Why, then, one man shoot.' have a vote, and anoth e r not, I coarse 1 cannot comprehend. As to election by billet, I look upon it as ali.oltitely necessary, to neutralise the influence which would othe r wise be elm, cacti by unprincipled persona upon those shorn they em ploy. There are at presets', In this country, three o the Tories tar Ministerialists, the Whigs or the Outs, and the People. As to there bring • fourth party, desirous of a revolution, I know of none. If such a party does exist, their numbers most be very small indeed. We want no revolution : on the contrary, we want • reform to prerent • revolution. We want nothing but what is contained within the four corners of the British Constaution--freed, indeed, from those abominable corruptions which have nearly coorerted H into a code of despotism, and wt into • set of slaves. As to the first of these parties, the Tories, they at least employ no 'lineage. They tell you they want nu reform, because the prevent is the beet possible system. Anal so, indeed, it is—for them. As soon might you expect that the worm which feeds on corruption should rejoice is the restoration to health of the burly on which it feede,as that the Tories should wish fur any change of the present rterrtspl system. As to the Whigs, they are fur a reform; but thee —softly—it must be • temperate, a moderate reform. As none of them have Beer given us the plan of their useidsuale reform, it is iMpuillade to judge of But this we cats judge of—that the moment you quit the straight-forward path of universal suffrage, inn plunge into an ocean of doubts and ditfiullies,_ to which there is no end. &ippon • young man was to offer himself as an apprentice to any of you, and to introduce himself, by savoy, that he bad been a great rope, but that be was now become moderately honest—would you employ him ? Or suppose • fellow who used to get drunk every day was to tell you lie was now a moderate drunkard, because he got drunk wily six days out of the omens—would you say he was refornsed ? But it is thus that the silly despi cable Whig faction argue. They are quite shocked that it should be supposed that they have any ideas on the sub ject, in comatose with us Radicals ; and, I believe in my conscience, that of the Iwo factions which have alternately had the worrying of this pour country, the Whigs are most to be dreaded—in so far as • pretended friend is worse that, an avowed enemy. Look at all the meetings which have taken place in England, at which the Whits have tardily mode their appearance The instant a Reform" was mete filmed, they were off like a shot. As much riprechifyiog as you please with regard to the Manchester murders; but as to Reform," Not • word es' that, Hal, an thou !avail me." You may judge of their sinerrity its the cause of Reform, from this circumstance, that although they all join, like a pack of bounds, in unceasingly abusing radical Re form, not one of tlum has ever had the sense or honesty to propose any distinct plan in place of it. They say it is visionary, absurd, impracticable ; but they mule. scend to show in what respect it is so. But, while they contrut themselves with railing at us, the venerable Cart wright, whom I am proud to call my friend, has, in the little book which I hold in my hand, shown that there is nothing tidier impracticelde or absurd in what we ask. It is enti tled, " A Bill of Iti,..:hts and Liberties;" and shows, its the clearest matiner,tiot only the practicability, but the amazing facility wills which the eh chews for the whole kingdom could be begtin and finished i• oar or Iwo days at most. This little book, my friends, has never been answered : For the best of a!! reasons—it is, iu fact, unanswerable; and withal, so plaits, that he wbu may read. lot us stick to it as our guile; and, with prudence joared to perseverance, we shall at. lain our object, in spite of bob Whigs and Tories • • tr.—. We come now to a part of the Requisition on which lam almost afraid to trust myself to speak. I mesa the late atrocious proceedings at Manchester. There, our defence less countrymen, whale permeably and lawfully assembled, as we now are, were, without say warning, attacked by a band of relßaus, sword is baud, and hacked and hewed down without mercy. Neither age nor sex were spared. Nay, the most interesting of all Nature's west ks—a woman with • child at leer breast—was wounded and struck down by one of these trate 'amen!!! In reading of these atroci till, we cannot help exclaiming with the Poet— " Can such things be, dad overcome us, like a summer's cloud, Without our special wonder?"

LON DON. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1819. The Paris Journals of the 14th instant arrived last night. The French Funds continue to rise. The 5 per Cent. Consols left off on Saturday at 69 fr. 60 c.; and Batik Actions at Lank fr. They had been both higher in the course of the day. All the free cities of Germany. it is paid, have been invited to send Ministers to the Corigre.s, which is to open its sittings at Vienna on the clOth instant. We hope that this intelligence will prove correct. The voice of these little States, although not less interesting to the best feelings and principles of society. has been of late heard boot little in the supreme direction and management of the affairs of Europe. The following paragraphs contain the only local news of any interest iu the Paris Papers : PARIS. NOVEMBER le. The King transacted business on the li2th instant with his Nlinisters of Finance and Foreign Affairs. Yeste►day the King braid mass in his apartments. The Deputies arrive in great numbers drily to Paris. Tie repairs of the Hall for their reception are completed. The Council of State, in a sitting at which the Keeper of the Seals presided, decided yesterday to stop the prosecution against Genoa! Donadieu, upon the charges against him for his conduct after the insurrectiou at Grenoble. Mr. SWANN, who was convicted at the last Spring Anises bild at Bothnia), fur the county of Coninell, of having given bribes to certain elec. tors of the borough of Pylori, for the purpose of influencing their votes in the election of a Member of received yesterday the judgment of the Court of King's Bench for this offence. and was sentenced to Puffer one year's imprisonment the custody of the Marshal of the King's Bench Prison. When Mr. SWANN reflects upon these verity of the sentence indicted upon Sir Manassas, Loess, for the some offence, he will uo doubt coo. eider himself as very fortunate in having to undergo only bog the period of imprisonment inflicted opal' the unlucky Baronet, without at the saute time suf fering any pecunia►y penalty. The inquiries promoted by Parliameat doting the last Session Wile of tarstiumble iaspestaute t• . , . the politfial welfare of the country, by exposing the morel degradation of the major part or the elec• tors ise some of the minor borottghs. They offer, however, the humiliating conviction, that much isf the corruption in the House of CoMMons must of necessity be traced to the corrupt condition of the ;tropic themselves. Nothing could be more revolt• ing to the feelings of any person alive to the honour of his country, than the unblushiog effrontery with which the bargains and pales of votes were transact ed in some of those boroughs. The price of a vote was as clearly established in their marts of corrup tion, as the price of a bullock is in Smithfield, and each fellow calculated the value of his 6 , sweet voice" with the utmost accuracy, according as the slumbers of voters happened to have increased or di tnioishrd since the last election, or, in commercial terms, in proporwin to the supply in the market. Some of the witoesses, we believe in the case of Penryn, said that a dissolution of Parliament was always • subject of congratulation in the borough. for every vote was worth at least 24/. The electors looked forward to the appearance of the candidates with the utmost impatience, but thought very little about their political principles, provided their parses were sufficiently heavy to meet the ordinary ex pense.' of she election. This disgusting traffic was, however, confined to the poorest classes, fur the wealthy and respectable inhabitants must have la mented a circumstance which war calculated to throw so dark a stain upon the moral character of the borough. We believe, however, that Penryn, and Gram pound, and Barnstaple, and the other boroughs arraigned before Parliament during the last Ses sion, differ not very considerably from many others, where the elective franchise is equally limited in point of numbers, and is enjoyed for the greate► part by householders in poor and narrow circum stances. These are in reality the rotten boroughs of the country, though in appearance they enjoy the proud character of independence, and to these principally ought the corrective hand of legislative wisdom be apt.lied in the great and necessary work of Parliamentary Reform. There are two ways of applying • remedy to the evil : one is to increase the number of voters to such en extent as to render partial bribery of little importance, and universal bribery stnpos•ihle; the other, and. as we think, the preferable and more constitutional way, is to trans fer the right of being represented sit Parliament from such places convicted of general corruption, to more populous and commercial towns. This is the mode of proceeding which, in the ensuing Ses sion, will be pursued by Lord JOHN Russets., and is conformable to the system formerly practised by our Kings until the reign of Cuseuts 11. of correcting such anomalies as time and circum stances may create in the mode of representation Its Parliament, by depriving one town of the elec tive franchise, and bestowing it upon another better entitled or better enabled to perform it with advantage to the community. Judgment was pronounced in the Court of King's Bench yesterday, upon a bookt•rller named JOSEPH RUSSELL, of Birmingham, who was con victed at the last Warwick Assizes of having sold copies of Home's Parodies. The unfortunate man was sentenced to ►iz months' imprivonment in the gaol of Warwick. It undoubtedly is severe that ItusszitA should be ruined in property, deprived of his pervinial liberty, and subjected tow heavy pu nishment, for au act which, on three successive trials, was solemnly pronounced in a Court of Justice, by three highly-respectable Juries, not to be an offence against the well-being of the State.— Stich an occurrence is more likely, in the minds of the unreflecting multitude, to bring discredit upon the administration of justice, than could be effected by all the speeches which it is iu the pout of their mob-orator. to utter. it beeine that the prosecution against this wretch ed man was commenced early in the year 1817, und that in consequence of repeated notices given to him to prepare for his trial, he has been so dice wally ruined in properly as to be at length unable to fee • counsel or an agent for his defence. This circumstance. with some where, induced the Jury who convicted him to recommend him to mercy. but it seems that being irritated by the malice of one MILEY. his actual prosecutor. he published his trial. and detailed some of the ungenerous means practised fur his ruin, mind the Court thought that this publication aggravated his offence. It war stated, however, and not contradicted. that in the report of his trial he bad omitted from the Paro dies such passages as were thought to reflect upon the religiose of the country ; and if such be the case. we cannot imagine how any " political alloy' " whatever, contained in any part of his pamphlet. could lie considered an aggravation of an offence, which was ostentatiously rosreuted as an attack upon the liturgy of the church. Let it be re membered, that these " political allusions." what ever they may be. have nut as yet been pronounced libellous ; that they may be, and possibly are at this moment, the subject of a distinct prosecution ; and that there was time enough to punish a man for • political libel "bee be bed beau found guilty of the publication.

The Resoltitimis wee, thee moved by lwe Ileembeee albs Committee (Mr. Brookes and Mr. Mathes', we believe), the one after the other; and carried unanimously. The in troductory address of the Promos had so far exits...led the different branches of the requisition, that little of one wore oratory wart dissphoyeil; but some of the strangers--plaia, intrioallielooking mien—favoured the meeting with their see. littorals. 5' person from Arbroath urged the necessity of uniou among all Reformors.

He adverted to the boosted fruga lity of the Senill, and said that ibis patio , e principle was now set at defiance, as the labourer had all his means wasted by the extravagance of Government. Another person from Arbroath alluded to the misery of the country, as exhibited in the wretched hovels which many of the poor which th ey ' ' g were'llige etcer lto ll r y h r;er f rd or . dwellings' and the privatio A person from Glasgow, in propoonic the Thanks of the Meeting to the Committee, spoke of the scorn and malice with which the people and their bumble leaders hod been eet 3 ileti by she supporters of the present system.

Advertioog 11/ the abstinence of the Radicals from exciseahle commodities, be said that mach moral reform had been accomplished in the West by the adoption 44 that measure. When the people were sober and virtuous, they would be gond citizens, their private worth would be enhanced, and their example would descend as an inherit•oce to their children. Instances of iitehriety were becoming daily less frequent in the welters parts of Scot land ; the people were becoming pal tenor of virtue ; a n d without This there could be no happitiess under any form of government—as was abundantly evident from history. The thanks of the Meeting were voted with great en- thasiasm to their respected Presto. In reforming his se knoeledgmente, Mr. Kinlorh promised to be always at his post, when the country required a defender, or the people a friend. " But where (he exclaimed) are all your City fiespeclables ! Why bast they nut come forward to assist you 011 this important occasion? Because they are so or copied in the pursuit of the phantom of borough reform— s Inch they will not obtain—that they are blind to the far greater importance of a radical reform in Parliament ; com pared to which, their petty borough serum is as a mole. hill t o a mountain—(.heats of opplouse.)-1 have no ob jections to borough reform. It ought undoubtedly to be granted. nut, in the mean lime, it serves se a tub to the whale; sad I am sorry to say, deprives you of the valuable assistance of many of your ablest fellow-citizens." About half-past one, Mr. Kinzocit stepped forward, and again reconinieuded to the people to disperse quietly and or. derly, that their enemies might have nu alone to revile them. This advice was implicitely obeyed. The workmen again rallied under their banners, suet marched home in the mime order iu which they canoe; and in tea minutes no vestige of the meeting was visible ono the Green, except the remains of she basting, nod a few idle bites era.
