"atrial! initterial considerations : Fleet, That the documentary evidence obtained is necei. airily made up by the 'very official persona, whose condoct the 'Petitioners arraign; and secondly, That such evidence is made op from records tinder the exclusive isspectims and control of the same official persona. From these documents, however, it will appear, that the allegations of fact, made by the Petitioners, are very gene rally and substaatially Iron; whilst the allegations of fife. rence may excite considerable diversity of opinion. Thus, with refereuce to the allegatiou of the mode of forming and ebntiiistine the Councils of the Burgh', the mere fret, IMO these Councils dog Ily possreis end exercise the powers vetoed is them by extorting laws, of self-election and selicontionsnee (applying those terms to the bodies corporate, and not to the individual mritiliers) adMite of net doubt; but the allegation of inference, that to thii cause is to be attributed mismanagement and abuse, where they exist, it indeed matter of opinion, and can best be ascertaiiied by patient sod minute invest igatioo. The same penions are, indeed, generally found to compose Me Council of a Burgh fur a fries of years, with merely such partial change of official station es the set of the Burgh, or eonvepienee of the ruling: party may require; until the ad verse party gains the aseendinicy, when a similar system of arlf.formation and self-election in the body of the Conned continues, until again displaced by a similar cause: however the persons or parties may change, the system coot in ues the same. And it is here must essential to remark, that iu many Burghs it constantly happens (and in all of them 'it may happen), that persons nut qualified to he chosen into the Council of a Burgh are so chosen; and yet Mire seems much reason to doubt whether such °mystified persons, after being there sixty days, can he displaced by any proserdings of law, but such as are so tedious and expensive, that they are never likely to be resorted to. Indeed, a recent case of this abuse ha• been stated, In a letter addressed to the Chairman of the Committee, which is given in the Appen.lix, relative to Kirkcudbright. In that B•rgh, a perms avowedly not ottalieed by the set (se consti tution of the Burgh) to sit 'lure, was lately elected into Conseil, an action was brought to displace hint in the Court of Session. But the judgment pronounced in that Court way in substance to this effect, that • person who could not legally be elected into Council, having obtained admission there, and the illegality of his election remaining unchal lenged for the space of sixty days, such prism is not re movable by the ordinary course of law. Another case of a different description has lately occurred, as appears from the evidence of Mr Kennedy, a Ilemher of the Committee, in which it was held , that an idiot knowing. ly appointed to the office of Town Clerk by the Magistrates of a Royal Bur:h, was nut removable at their snit. Again, the fact of large alienations of property from most of the Burghs is manifest from the documents b►fore your Committee; as also the frequent expenditure beyond in. come, and in I instances the accumulation of debt. But the inference drawn by the Petitioner., that these things revolt from the mode of forming and continuing the Councils, is a point on which the Committee, not having filly con sidered it. have forborne to decide. Under these circum►tances, your Commilter have thought it would be most taiiiitaetory to its own Member., at well as to the House, to include in their Report, not wily the evidence, bat also the several distinct Resolutions at has come to, in mt►rence to them matters; and to express ohm hope, that or the Hou►e shall think proper to appoint the same or smother Committee 'won this 'object, in the nest Set of Parliament, this and the remaining allegstious of the Petitioners may undergo a full and adequate considers. lion. Your Committee cannot omit to notice in their Report, the evidence subjoined relative to the burgh of Culler. An imptity into the particulars of this burgh was instituted, and witnesses summoned. in consequence of a specific alle gation of the Petition from thence, l'hal seals in Ike Cornett of that burgh had I ftequeotly been bought and sold; and that the system of alternate election axd re-election between individuals, by bargain, in continual succession to each other, prevailed there, among the merchant counsellors, as a constant and uniform practice. Your Committee lament to report, that the evidence has fully confirmed this allegation; that these procerdiogs so gross and iniquitous in their nature, and so injuriotta in their effects, have been fully estnblished; nay, even admitted to he trite by the very persons themselves who look part in them, ;hull who were in fact the principal delinquents. The evidence relative to other matters in this burgh is, in deed, mammal' tt cuisimailictory. But your Committee coo crave, that some of the ill effects of these boil practices are too apparent (ruin the evidence to admit of any doubt. It appears that Mr. Freemason was in the Council of fu. par eighteen successive years, of which he was, during ten, successively Provost—that artifice has been resorted to, sues restfully, to prevent a fair and jest exposition of the pecu niary oreritunts of th; burgh—that persons nut resident are frequently chosen into Commit, who rarely attend Council meetings, except on the Jaya op- 6 1...1iie annual electi )))) —that the audit of the actuante of the burgb expenditure have nut been regular, but have been occasionally delayed fur several Beare. Year Committee, however, deem of uo great moose opener to unravel and appreciate the contradictions of the wituesirs in the case of Copse. The proof, or rather the admission of the sale of seats in Council, and bargains, tween individuate, of alternate election and re-election, ex hibit soch a corrupt and improper practice in the formation sad maintenance of the Couucil, as to make the subsequent conduct of that body, in reference to the objects of this M- I juicy, a in:011T of minor importatice. Wheehir the evils which have remelted from such proceedings be more or lean, say indeed admit of souse dispute; but there seems little doubt, that the systras under which such evil practices have grown up and become matured into activity, anal under which no adequate remedy is to be found fur such avidly when detected, salmi be in some Material points either us. sound in principle, or defective in operation. Your Committee cannot conclude theienutice of the evi deuce, without calling to the attention of the Howie the very extraordinary facts disclosrd by Colonel Francis William Grant, a Mesaberhf the Home. tt appears, that Colonel Grant was Provost of the Berth of Elmo denote the years /818, 1917, and 1818; also Pro west of Peary deeriog 100 of those same years 1818 sad a ` tam e r e z, .air k tb l i er i g as w alle ithist albe j: respect er C"li i7e il beeigb alial , hl ia l4 wi l""rbe nat be su Nl ;ierl:u ni ii 4 e fie the Corailaittre to ohierrve, *beg Shen four berets - are ia /Iv distant from nets other, as ele reader the Moreno' of this provnion of the sets of sheep theas wholly incom patible with the facts detailed in evidenue. .

Thus the seta of some burghs, as Renfrew and Ltaark, admit of the I re-election of all the Members of the old Connell to lone is the new. Thour of the greater number of limit the nansher of old Councillor., who tuny be re-elected; Inn the same require or admit of a nyijority of the old Council being contioued its the new ; while the wets at some others require, that the ma.kietty of the new Comte!! 'ball be different persons; and, in a few ihotances, to such tin extent. as almost entirely to drat. oy the rffett of the principle of the Act 1460. The sets of many Burghs trait the nomination of the new Members of the new Council, entirely to the Mil Council.— According to those of others; the 0141 Coyne', must sefert a portion of the new, from lista furui.lsetl by she several Cor porations; or forni.h Hits from which the Corporations themselves elect, or must slim ten hits, furnished he the Corporations, who finally elect nom those reduced lists.-* And in a few instances, the Corporations have the direct ountinatioo of a ceriam number of the Members of the sew Council. Resolved,. That the allegation or the old comma choosing the sew, urged by the Petitioner. to pieta,' in the Town Commits, does appear to the tonitnit tee to be generally war ranted by the law and the mai-tire of the Boughs. Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Committee, that that the Burgesses out ineurporateil hive on control over the expenditure of the Terrains of the Burgh, , sr over the pale of the common good or property of the Burgh; nor any power of preventing the Ilugi•trates 31P11 ColSoiril from con tracting debts, for which the common goad is liable. Resolved, That it is :Mated by most of the Petitioners, that the community me liable in their property and permit., fur debts contracted by their Magistraes ; hut the Commit. tee have not been able to ascertain why ther such allegations are founded in law or out, the Commits.e out having found any decision of any Court wpm tlw subject. Resolved, That it is the opium) of skis Committee, that the Bargesses and Corporatinus have an power to compel their Magistrates sad Coward to section. fur the isubisage. =rot of the owes and funds under their charge. Resolved, That in the opinion of thus Committee, it has bees clearly proved is two. instances, .411011 i let) or fifteen years ago, that Testa in the Couucil of Cupar .base been sold; and from the evklenie before the Committee, there is reason to believe that several other instances have occurred, the last of which took place six ,ears ago. Resolved, That in the 'vitalism of this Committee, the practice prevails generally in the burgh of Copier, fur each of the thirteen Merchants Counsellors to have what is called Neighbour Counsellors, who alternately elect and re-elect each other by individual choice, which, as a point of honour, continues during the lives of the parties; and, in many cases this agreement of alternate ch.( lion has extended, in este of" death, to the pons or nearest ergotism' of the deceased Neigh. hour Counsellor. Resolved, Thal it dors appear, from the Report of the Committee last year, and the evidence then taken that • waste and mismanagement of cha r it a ble fo o ds, pl ace d in the bands of the Miqistrairs as er .06i° tr u st ee ., has takes place, to a great extent, in the burgh of Abeniffs ; to a smaller extent in the burgh of Dander, as detailed in the aid Report. That in slur burgh of Edinburgh, where there as, also cyosiderable charitable funds wider the management of the Magistrates, either as sule or joint trustees, there dues not sp. pear, from the evidence before the Committee last year, any ground for supposing that those funds have not hero pro perly administered; neitlwr does these appear any ground fur so supposing, in either of the other two burghs, whose cases have bees examined by the Committee, in the last and present year. Frost the secroi, however, with which the pecuniary transactions of She Councils are generally emu ducted, it Cal4llol be knows, isliettur such fonds ate well of ill administered. Such abuses may exist without detection; but when abuse is discos, red, a remedy is afforded by law, as in other cases of breach of truss.—Jaly 14, 1020. ADDRESSE3 To llLie 4114.1tSTY.

This •ffeetiomate Adtkras proves tics; ~..t I. cultivated wools they unite feeling hearts; and that to 1,,,,•. sympathies, which are the orsameeste of nature, i la, y atl , t that love of liberty, intlinnit which mao, instead of Iwiiig .e' intellectual Mast aspiring to the H , is only a r.etral,• .. reptile crawling upon the earth. The love of liberty is what coati than any thing else coo:c -lam man. h ands dignity to his countenance; it Ki:.y be read in his eyes; it is visible in his cathode; it is palpable even in his step,; it manifests itself iii all that he vays ur dors. lit the social stale it is the rotor of excellence: Wah iawa snow riegeuerammingo we belevior animal ; and w ith :t he monists to higher regions of civilised etc:encore. It is libel ty which gives such au energy to the product ice power, of man, as it soon causerie a demi into a order,. It gives laricitriance to sterility; it imparts a soft verdure to the rocky soil ; and, under its bland influence, the hood of vapour and figs assumes the serenity of a happier clime. It is liberty Which softens the asperities of human inter course. It smoothes ofi" the abrupt ruggedness of the roei:il scheme. It dues not, for it cannot, make the Mello:ilia ie •of life to disappear, but it causes them to he unfelt. Where liberty prevails the labourer smiles, and the prow man lot•k. as erect as the filch. Where liberty prevails nu man Vain, and the disparity of conditions operates only as an en conragement to snperinr activity. Liberty makes the greatest addition to the shirk of Elme ral happiness; as, metier a free Wverument, taut only no man labonrs in vain, but the labour of every individual most prolific in its results. It causes a stiperflnity in Ihr materials of enjoyment; fur the labour of a free man is always twice as productive as that of a slave. . . . In early life I caught the lore of liberty, and f consider it as She best boon amongst the gifts of Heaveu in mankind. Though I was placed in circumstances which tend to ab stract the avenues to bulb, )et truth always hail a five of - resit to my ear, Slid, I trust, to my heart. Ilicice. I •01.11 learnt that mankind had tights independent of Snorer-..s and that all the power which Sovereigns !V rrise is least for the common good. These notions, which lri re implanted in Inv mind in ell :r life, hose acquired strength wish iucreosing years ; aid brace, perhaps, I exhibit the singular respect of a Quciii- Consort contending for the rights of the nation against die esievoseliments of power. The attempt to crush me boa an object far beyond that of my individual humiliation. The blow is aimed directly at the Queen; but the real object is to prepare the neck of the nation fur the yoke of 4rritirele. In the question between me and my adversaries 1 have never crass dto regard my uwa rights as the props sty of the nation; and hence I have defended them with muse peril aacity than I might have dose, if I lad viewed them male as a part of my own personal enjoyment. If the generous Roman war to consider himself as created not for his owe individual gratificiittue, but fir the happiness of his 'gorier, surely such a sentiment ought not to be a deli) letter, kilt a living principle in the bosom of a Christian Scat reign.
