We, Ilse undersigned Electors of Westminster, do request you to call an ea. ly Meeting of the Electors of this City and Liberty, to take into consideration the propriety of ad dressing the Prince Regidit and the Nation or the conduct of the Magistrates and the Yemeni towards the people at their late public Meeting at Marchetti. r, held for the poi'. pwit " of considering the propriety of adapting t►e stoat legal anti effectual means of obtaining a Reform in the Commons House of Parliament." (Signed by Nearly 200 Electors) The High Ratliff having refused to comply with the above Requisition, the Electors who signed the Requisition hereby give nosier, that a Public Meeting of the Inhabitants of Westminster will be held fur the perms above stated, on next, the Septembie l at Twelve e'Cluek `at Nan, in - New Palaceeyard. Sir MA NCIS BURDETT, iii. M.P. - 4 is the Chair. The Chair will be taken st use /Mark preeinsly. The CHAIRIIIIi issid„. 4 stsey would observe thtt no day wa. fi x ed /or the Meeting', in the raper he lard just reid. It wet fur the Electors present to urine a day. They were now cosovened for that purpose, and he trusted they would do that duty. without travelling iivo irrelevant topics. At pre sent they had no necessity of touching upon the Manchester Meeting —they were merely to fix a time for taking that business into their most sermon consideration.—(Apploase ) After • short pause, no person appeared inclined to address the Meeting— The CuaiawAs then said, that It was open for the company to fix a day fur the Meeting, and lie waited to hear what any Gentleman present had to say upon the business. Mr. HARLEY (4 LiVerylllllll of London), came forward, and said, that he differed from the Chair. man as to the business they had to traintict. and so far from thinking that the Manchester business had nothing to do with their discussion, he-thought it had a great deal, indeed, that it was their only business.—(Great appluate.)—For one, he was infest anxious that Werimillater should take the lead, in pronouncing an opinion on the affair at Manchester; he knew that a Requisition was pre pored and signed, for, as a Liveryman, he had him self signed ii, to the Right Hon. John Atkins, Lurd Mayor of Lutidosi—(9 laugh)—to call a Meeting of the Livery, to take that shocking recta into con. *nitro' . lie knew at the same time very well, that John Atkins would call no Meeting. indeed, that man ought not to be called Lord Mayor, for he (Mr. Harley) knew that lie was not elected by the Livery as he ought to have been.—(Cheers) — Every good citizen ought now come forward and speak his sentiments on the late outrageous isru erecting. at'Maoctiester.—(iipploase ) A general cry to fix the day for the Westminster Meeting followed ; nesday, inhere for Thursday. and more for Monday. One ELECTOR said, that 'Monday would be the fiver dry, and for this reason—he knew that the Matquia of l'avistuck had left his house in Arline tun-street for his seat in Bedfordshire. and would come to town on purpose to attend the Westmin ster Meeting, the moment he was apprized of it. Now if the Meeting were fixed for Thursday, the Noble Marquis could not have time by intimotiou a for lie could only hear of it by the port of tias morrow night, which *mild not reach him heft**. the middle of Wednesday. lie therefore trusteed ' that a later day would be filed. This was a time ' when, whatever were their particular differences, they ought to unite with all who would join them, in c ))))) ',Wising of an outrage upon the liberties and I lives of the people—they should, above all, be anxious to get the assistance of men of rank and property in the common cause.—(Applaase.)—. The Hon. H. G. Bennett was in town ready to attend the Meeling, mail so would the Mu. George Lamb, if lie had early notice; he was now on the Northern Circuit, and could net well be up (ru in Lancaster before Mondry next. Another ELECTOR said, that no time was to he lost—there had been sufficient notice fur the Gen. tlrmen alluded to to come to town, and the people ought no longer to wait, certainly not beyond %Veil wade,. or Thursday at furtliest.--(Hear. hear.) • Mr. Guest said, that so esturieced war he of the propriety of a !ben delay, that he would more, as A person in the room inquired whetheAller High Bailiff, or at least his Deputy, Me. Sated ley. had not, when the requisition was transmitted, said that it contsioed nothing improper ? and another hall virtual inquired its written mower to that effect" had nut been given The Gentleman who handed the requisition to Mr. Smedley (who is the High Bailiff's; Deputy), replied, that no such answer had been given. Nei ther approbation nor disapprobation of the requisi tion had been expres , ed by Mr. Smedley, when it was handed do him ; the refusal was afterwards ver bally given—no written answer was (brnished. Au Elector said lie knew Mr. Morris (the High Bailiff) had himself no objection to call the Meet ing, hut as Lued Sidasouth was High Steward of Westminster, he was. no doubt, afraid •to take. such a step as might imply his sanction to the ob ject for which it was convened. it was re-mated that the refusal was verbally given, and that neither approbation nor disispion. bstion of the Agquisitiou war conveyed by the High Ba liff, or his Deputy:. Mr. Honsobsg entered the room in the midst of the business, and was loudly cheered. On be ing repeatedly called upon by the Meeting, he rose. end from the table addressed the company: He commenced by stating. that when he had last ap peared before them, he was endeavouring by their indepeodent suffrages to place hitnself where he. might have a wider sphere in which to exercise his efforts in their behalf; he had told them on pan. nig, that however narrowed was his circle of Be noit. they would still ever find hint ready at their call to contend with them in the cause of liberty.— He had told them on a former occasion that the great evil was in the wain of a Reform in Parlia ment ; he had only now to repeat that such was the root of their grievances. Without a Reform they could have no relief—with it they need not shrink from any of their difficulties.—(Great op plause.)—Since he had last addressed them, they had *ern more of the bitter fruits, not of the Go vernmesit indeed, hut of those men who this ruled the people—(Applause)—who felt no com punction at consigniug to the soldiery.—(Cries of " No, they were no soldiers PV—the dispersion et the point of the sword of an unarmed and de fenceless multitude, among whom, too. were fe- M4les.—(Crier of " Shame P)—lt was right to say that these persons were sin soldiers—they were, on the coutrary, persons who reckoned on the effect which their swords would have upon a mixed inultiinclethey rflied on the influence of the Steel which was dug out of the earth, but forgot that the arm that could wield it was a product of the twine soil, and nerved to assert its own•rights.— (Great applarse.)—The people would, however, assert. their own digmty, and rescue their country• trait such a system—their first call would, doubt less, be that of vengeance upon the immediate per petrators of the late atrocious' aci—vengeance, not indeed like that which their enitniieis took by brutal force, but .vengeance, such as the laws inflicted upon .the ,eutliors of such acts.—This was the vengeance which became Englishmen, who knew and. felt that they lived in a country goeenied by equal laws, • which in happier days conferred equal liberty.—((.rent applause.)—For his pert, he assured them, they should find Inni always at his post, and if lie could take the liberty of making a suggestion respecting their Meeting, it would be therthey would not delay it---(Applosi c). lie hoped and trusted that the Gentlemen of the country, who were really es interested a the people theinselvesin the result, would be present with them on such an secession—if they were not, it war not the people's fault. He should not fail to obey their call 011 all occasions.—(Applause.)—He had now a much more important commuoicartiou to make to them than any thing which could relate to his owe co-operation—it was, that their worthy Represen• tative. Sir Fraucis Burdett, hod arrived 116 town this evening, to obey their call, m he had ever dour, according to the old-fasbioaed custom—on the first notece.—(4hosits of applovse.)—The worthy Baronet would attend their Meeting, and. the sooner they had. it the better.—(Apploesed . Whea Mr. ilobliouse sat down, en Elector pro-. posed a Vote of 'Thanks to hiM for his attention to the affairs of Wesitaistater, and his -prompt attend:. sure at this Nesting.' This motion was received with great applawava terms. . • The C RAWS AIf wits in the act of enaminctog lint the bemires* of the Meeting hail rowed in the appointment of Thursdsy next for the Meeting its Paism-yowl—when Mr. BRYAN presented himself, and said, 'hit if - ifettetne them on such an occasion as this to think of Mr. Hoot end his brother entirety's 'slits were in dose custody in. Lancaster gaol, and for whom some legal measures ought to be taken without delay, not • to defend them against any charge of crime, for lie believed they had been guilty of oboe, but to ens . tale them promptly and elßriesitly to bring their persecutors to punishment. Indictments should be n brosielit without delay egoista the Magtstrates who had kept them io close custody, fur eleven days wilts. one knowing on what charge they could commit them, sad -who had, daring that period, refused to Allow their friends to see the Prisoners or to see copies of their committals. Applications :ought to he made forthwith to punish the M a . gnaw's offending so mach against the law, and to bring them to trial, not tuderd iu Lintes _elite, but in some adjoining county. Such had been done in Wadditigtou'e cow WI a charge of aseigsfy of hops : the trial was remover out of Kent. es, account of the popular feeling which prevailed there. Some immediate step ought to be . taken to do justice to the sufferer.. He had bit no time, for he had gone on Saturday last to sue out a writ of Habeas Corpus for the frisotwes before the Chief Justice—he had gone to the chambers of his clerk, but was amused with evasive answers—he had been this day before Mr. Jamie. Milroy(' and Mr. B001:1 Graham:in their Chambers mud they were to give theiranswera to.morrow. Legal assistance ought to be afforded without delay to the sufferers. (A voice exclaimed, " Most certainly, but have they not get .Mr..Peerson, the solicitor ?") " No," resumed Mr. Bryant. "they have oolf got him for the moment, for he has written up to tie. cline the teak of undertaking their defence, and begged that Mr. Harmer might be sent down for ~ .that purpose. Some steps must be taken without 4.4. I shall attend the Meeting•in Pelisce.yard, , which, I agree. ought to take place immediptely. and there ',port the state of the Prisouers, and what relief they have a chance of getting from the Judgei.“—(Applause.) Theirks were then 'voted to the CHAIRMAN, who expressed the gratification he felt at receiving thus compliment, and the Meeting then separated. Abo'ut goo person of respectebilay were present. The Meetini lasted from eight until Woo's:lock. " PUBLIC MEETING AT GLASGOW.' Agreeably to advertisement a meeting took place yesterday, of operative weathers and others, in a plot of ground east of Graham's-square, is the immediate vicinity of h i lls city, " to take into coo indention the propriety of petitioning the Kirk Su/du, the Local Authorities,. the Court of Sea ters% and the Supreme Maoistritte, to put into ac tive and immediate otteran on the Poor Laws of Scotland." It was expected tt,iat the meeting would .have been very numerous, ti 41 it did Out exceed 2,000, and of these a cOnsidkrable portion coo sisted of spectators. A number of Scots : Acts of Parl.;oment regarding the Poor Laws were read and cOiumented upon, and it wu asserted that our laws general were more favourable to the poor than theswof England; and although they had fallen into dead:lade.' there was no reason against their being again ;rot in re .quisitiont when necessity so, urgently celled for their operation. The' orator: did not, Itswreeer. confine themules to this subject; but took a 'vowing . view of other griewslices. The want of Aititual Parliaments and Universal Suffrage, composed,• es initial, the principal grievance, to which succeeded the Corn &Band the Combination Act ; but what chiefly distinguished this Meeting from every one previously held inScotland, was the undisguised coh. tempt for religion which pervaded all their speeches. —lt was asserted that' the clergy gulled every G infamous o vernment. and that it was their combisia lion with the landed proprietors which had cheated the poor out 'of their rights. All • those who at . - tended church were denounced, as hypocritei. coolie they went to hear clergymen deicant on cha rity. morality, and virtues which they well knew the • preachers .themselves never practised. Bible Societies csme in for their share of abuse,. and much contempt was expressed for their patrons, whip, it was alleged, contributed cheerfully to every fantastic proposal, if it was supposed to be religious, while they withheld their assistance from actual objects of charity at their own door; and who received with opeu arms every adventurer with a. begging scheme, while they neglected modest merit in their poor neighbours. Play., coo. erns, balls. and all kind* of amusement, were advertised for the benefit of Nlissionary Societies ; mid one speaker, following out these views, declared that he should not be in the least surprised to see the Sultan Khatte Ghery stauding at the end of the old bridge on the Glasgow Fair week, with a rewley poseley. the profits of which' were to be ap propriated to the diffusion of the Gospel in foreign parts. Saving banks. wittily pronounced skauiag banks, were next the topic of ridicule ; amid the proceedings at Manchester were declared to have no parallel except the massacre at Gleocoe. Meeting concluded with a resolution similar to that which pawed at Tollcross ou Saturday, 'chaise to the establishment of sin indepemidrut Newspaper. We mentioned that the Meeting tuigbf amount to two thousand 'persons, including the, Spectators wittiest the pale • , but we are confident that there would net have been half that minitier„ could they 'ive - anticipated the course which the proceediugs were 'to lake. The squibs let off against religieu, were not generally. well received. - leg the counts of the Meeting's (else Ala* en that the cavalry were opproisolting. upon meat .cempiete scuts or costersion named. was seine time before order could be este. On my arriving there .1 was confirmed in my °pi-. Mon by the very orderly conduct of those ailUelli• bled, by far the greatest number lever witnemeil together, and the least disposed to commit our breach of the peace. But just as we were pro ceeding to the business of the day, and !wage 1 had taken the chair, the hustings were surrowided by 'a 'Milting forte of horse soldiers, who charged through the multitude with drawn sabre., cutting and trampling all under foot, and particularly body of special constables, who suffered very severely. The soldiers cut at toe, and those who were upon the hustings; and upon my denoulding what they wanted, the commanding officer said Ae bud a 'errata against me, upon winds I instantly imireeudesed. This was all done without any prt views notice, •nd without ewe heed being lifted to oppose it. - I saw one man with his ease cut off, and I received several blows with a sabre on 'my head myself. 1 was brought here by the gistretes under • military guard, at two o'clock yesterday, and I have been kept here without the means of sending to procure bail, not beriug lied •ny copy of the warrant, or having any charge made against me, till after 1 had been kept in cus tody upwards of Avsesity-four hours, when that which is enclosed was giveu me by the Governor. I am sorry to hear that many lives have been lost in consequence of such violent, ■nd, as 1 conceiv . e . , illegal conduct of the military towards an miariord sud•peaceable people, met for the purpose of crier 'tieing. what they thought they had itperfect right to do: • I therefore ttust that your Lordship will not •saliction the keeping me here a close prisoner, . unless there be some - specific charge made o"t against Me. 1 know not if the other prisoners be still iu muitody or not. 66 I am, my Lord, • 6 ' Valli Lordship's most obedient Servant.
