SINGULAR CEREMONIES AMONG THE ANCIENT MEXICANS at the BIRTH of a CHILD. As soon as the mother . was delivered of the infant, they put it into a cradle, as it repre sented ; and, when it was four days old, the midwife took the infant in her arms naked, and carried it into the court of the mother's house, ‘4 hick court were strewed reeds or rusher, which they call tule, upon which was placed a small •essel of water, in which the said mid wife bathed the said infant ; and after she hail bathed it, three boys being seated near the said rushes eating roasted maize, mixed with boiled beans, which kind of food they named yxeue, which provisions or paste they lay before the boys, in order that they might eat it. After the said bathing or washing, the said midwife de sired the said boys to pronounce the name aloud, bestowing a new name on the infant which had been thus bathed ; and the name which they gave it was that which the midwife wished.— When they first carried out the infant to bathe it—if it was a boy they carried him holding his symbol in his hand, which symbol was the in strument which the father of the infant employed dither in the military profession, or in his trade, whether it was that of a goldsmith, jeweller, or any other; and the said ceremony having been gone through, the midwife delivered the infant to his mother. But if the infant was a girl, the symbol with which they carried her to be bathed was a spinning wheel and a distaff, with a small basket and a handful of brooms, which would afford her occupation when she arrived at a pro per age. They offered the umbilical cord of the male infant, together with the shield and arrows, the symbols with which they carried him to be bathed, in that spot and place where war was likely to happen with their enemies, where they buried them in the earth ; and they did the same with that of the female infant, which they in the same way buried beneath the metate or stone on which they ground meal. After the above-mentioned ceremonies, when the period of twenty days had expired, the parents of the infant went with it to the temple of Mezquita, which they called Calmecae, and in the presence of their Alfaquis, presented the infant with its offering of mantles and maxtles, together with some provision ; and after the infant had been brought up by its parents, as soon as it had ar rived at the proper age, they delivered him to the superior Alfaquil of the said Mezquita, that he might be there instructed, in order that he might hereafter become an Alfaqui ; but if the parents of the infants resolved, that when lie at tained a fit age he should go and serve in the military profession, they immediately offered him to the master, making promise of him, which master of the young men and boys was named Teacitcau or Telpuchilato, which offering they accompanied with a present of provisions and other things for its celebration ; and when the infant attained a fit age, they delivered him to the said master.—Aglio's Antiquities of Mexico. SINGULAR ESCAPE FROM DEATH. Two men of the name of Roux, father and son, and who are now employed in the Navy office at Toulon, were condemned to death after the evacuation of that place by the English, on pretence of having betrayed the interests of France. They were, with 900 others, ordered to be shot at " Le Champ de Bataille." With out any form of trial they were taken to the place of execution. When all the intended victims were placed in a heap in the middle of the plain, several field-pieces loaded with grape-shot were brought up close to them, as well as a regiment of cavalry and one of infantry, which were to charge those whom the cannon had not wholly destroyed, and finish them. The two Roux bad been separated from each other. The son, fearing lest the first discharge of cannon should not despatch him with sufficient speed, placed himself as much forward as he possibly could. He was so close to the battery, that when the guns went off the explosion knocked him down. That instinct which impels mankind to the preservation of life made him feign that he was dead when the cavalry were ordered to charge. A dragoon gave him a sabre cut, which made a large though not a dangerous wound in his back. The infantry came after, and one of the scldiers perceiving that young Roux had not ceased to breathe, gave him a violent blow on the head with the butt end of his musket, which so completely stunned him, that he lay several hours senseless upon the ground. The slain having been left on the Champ de Bataille to be all removed the next morning for interment, were soon stripped of their garments by the liberated prisoners of the bagnio, and all left nearly naked. During the night young Roux gradually recovered the use of his senses. It was with the utmost difficulty that he recalled to me mory what had occurred. The horrors of the day presented themselves at last fully to his mind. He sought to find some garments among the dead by whom he was surrounded, and in his efforts to take off from the body of one of the unfortunate men some clothes which had escaped the pillage, he found that life was not extinct in him. The desire of saving a fellow creature prompted every means that could bring timely relief, and they were not used in vain. The joy and surprise of both may be easily con ceived when they discovered that they were the' father and son. They alone had escaped the carnage ! Fortunately for them, no sentinel had been stationed over the field of butchery, and the Roux returned without any obstacle to their house. It was with difficulty they obtained ac cess to it. No words could express the sensa tions of the wife and children on beholding again those whose supposed destruction had plunged them into grief and despair. Their wounds were dressed, and before daylight they retired to their country house, a few leagues in the interior of Provence, where they remained concealed until the Reign of Terror" was no more. They then returned to Toulon, to the amazement of their friends, many of whom could not for a long time persuade themselves that they were not the ghosts of the two men who had been included in the massacre of the champ de Bataille.—Jour nal of a Noblema„.

A circumstance has just taken place in our peace , ful borough of the most painful nature, but which our duty as public journalists compels us to detail. A man of the name of Jackson occupied a house on the waste, which had been erected by Mr. Francis Butt. He had, it appears, been served with a no tice to quit, and was in arrear of rent. As this man had voted at the last election against the nominees of the Marquis of Exeter, it was generally stated, and he himself professed to believe, that he was to be turned out for so doing : this, however, his land lord distinctly denies. On his non-payment of rent and refusal to quit, Clarke, the sheriff's officer, and an assistant, were sent to distrain his goods. His wife applied to Mr. Beasley, and Mr. B. agreed to advance the money, on goods to that amount being left in his custody, to be redeemed when convenient. While these matters were going on, the husband had come home, and being infuriated at the presence of the officer's assistan►, he forcibly turned him out of the house, and thrust his warrant into the fire. Afterwards, it appears, that the unfortunate man, in his wrath or revenge, proceeded to break up the doors, and otherwise damage the premises. Mr. Butt having been informed of thi., obtained from the Magistrates another warrant against him, which was entrusted to Blades and Stimson, the constables, to execute. Having this warrant, Blades saw the man, and directed him to attend at the Town-ball last Thursday, at a particular hour. He did so at tend, accompanied by his wife, but there were neither accuser, Magistrates, constables, nor any other person to receive him, After waiting some time, he walked away. On Saturday Blades met him, and asked him why he had not attended the hall at the time specified : he replied that he had. Blades then took him before the Mayor, at his wor ship's private residence, who questioned him as to his conduct, to which questions it is said he re turned insolent answers. His worship ordered him to be taken to the watch-house, and to be brought up to the hall on Monday. He replied, that as he lived in the town, and they knew where to find him, lie would not go to the watch house, to be detained all Sunday and two nights. The Mayor was inflexible, and ordered Blades and Stimson to take him to the watch-house. The party with their prisoner then went out, and it appears James Askew, eldest son of the Mayor, armed himself with a formidable baton, having a brass fertile at the end, and accompanied them. When at the corner of the High-street, the prisoner made an attempt to run off towards his own house; the constables followed, and young Askew first came up with him, and seized him by the neck. The prisoner, to disengage himself from the gripe, violently kicked ar►d plunged, and then James Askew, as it is stated by an eye-witness, struck at him with the heavy brass end of the baton, on the back part of the head, inflicting a very large wound, and penetrating through the skull. The man dropped, and his blood flowed in torrents around. Young Askew and the rest dragged him bleeding in this state to the watch-house, a. distance of about four hundred yards. When in the watch-house he was insensible and in strong convulsions,—six men could scarcely hold him. In this state it was proposed to leave him, when Mr. Beasley, who was parochial constable serving in his own right for that evening, insisted upon his being taken to his house iu the Fly, which was done on the certificate of Mr. Bur dett, the surgeon, who, with Mr. Marveilleux, and Mr. Whitby, had been called in to a►tend him. These 'gentlemen caused his head to be shaved, bandaged the wound, and bled him very copiously. During the whole of the night and most of Sunday he con tinued insensible ; in the evening he was somewhat better, and could reply to questions, and on Mon day he remained in the same state. While bleeding and insensible in the watch-house his wife rushed in and her cries were heart-rending. " He is murdered—he is murdered—what shall I do for my children ?" were her chief exclamations. These cries were followed by demands that " the murderer" should be taken into custody. A crowd was soon collected, who besieged the Mayor's door, and demanded that James Askew should be given up to them. Mr. Richardson, of the Crown and Woolpack, obtained admission, with Reed the Town Serjean', and on stating the object of their visit, and the dangerous condition of the wounded man, the Mayor asked whether bail could not be taken for his son. Mr. Reed declared it could not. His Wor ship then said, " Well, we must obey the laws— there is my son, take him." James Askew then surrendered himself, and was let out (to avoid the enraged populace) by the back way, in the custody of the town serjeant, whe conducted him to his own house. These are, we believe, the simple facts. If the man dies, which is not at all unlikely, from the na ture of the wound, young Askew will be placed in a peculiar situation. Hence, it i 3 our duty to refrain from making those comments which naturally suggest themselves as to this particular case; nevertheless, we may refer to other matters, which will not affect a verdict as to this. It is well known to all our readers, that the cor poration have been for many years, and are now more than ever, the abject slaves and tools of the Marquis of Exetcr,ready to do the bidding of that boroughmonger, he it what it may. On the last election many of the Aldermen most unseemly and indecently interfered at the very hustings, where, if they had any right to remain at all, it was only in their character of Justices of the Peace, to preserve order and act impartially. Knowing how exces sively unpopular this conduct had made them, on the choice of the present Mayor the Corporation swore in three hundred constables to keep the peace, which they selected from the persons who were working at Burghley House, and from the tenants, voters, and others who were notoriously creatures of the Noble Marquis, and in the open face of day in the public stree.s put heavy batons or staves into the hands of these ignorant partizans. Every man po sessing common sense would at once see, that, instead of tending to keep the peace, such a proceeding as this was calculated to produce. exactly the opposite effect, which it did. Many conflicts took place between the unarmed populace and these armed 'Red constables.' One young man of the name of Wade, who had voted, contrary to the wish expressed in seven visits of Mr. Alderman Mills, for Mr. Tennyson, was so 'fearfully beaten that he has never been able to work since. Another young man was treated in a similar way ; but %%e shall give his narrative in his own words, corrobo rated by witnesses. T • • * • S • * * was on the 7th of October, 1830, most brutally beaten by one R ' • • R • ", (stone mason, at the Marquis of Exeter's,) act ing as constable at the Mares feast, so that I have never enjoyed my health since, from the effers of the blows I received on the head. 1 was s-nsible at the time, but was told that during the night R * • ' said he hail marked me out.' When I recovered a little I found myself in the Town-hall, bleeding very much. At this time " * * hand on my throat to throttle me, and said Take the villain below; we will have him down ;' also his brother • * * * S • • * e came. Blades and Stimson re monstrated and said, 'Do you know what you are going to do with this min.' Blades raid be wanted surgical as.. sistaace, and Mr. Whitby was called to dress the wounds. What Mr. Whitby said, I cannot remember, but that he says he never saw so much blood before.' I was at a frlend'a house from six o'clock to five minutes before ten, and was proceeding home, and was followed against the Town-hall by R * *, who struck me and said, This i 4 the rascal as we want; - Lim we have got him now,' I was then dragged into the hall and received the ill treatment of the Mr. • • t * s's. This was as the clock was striking ten. John Chambers, waiter, was at the Town-hall, and heard 11. * " say that he had marked roe nut." Why, it may be asked, do you not bring these cases before a tribunal of justice--but what tribu. nal ? Stamford has a local jurisdiction of its own, and the Judges we composed of this very Corpora. two. A Corporation that eyoployed and arme d those special constables, —a Corporation, the ser vents of which pick and pack juries to suit their party views,—a Cor poration which, when bills were ro be preferred against some of the populace for as saulting the constables, managed to have none but Reds on the Grand Jury, and not one who had not voted for the Marquis of Exeter's interest on th, Petty Jury A very pretty tribunal from which to seek justice in a party case ! What then should be done ? Are the people to remain in their pre sent well-founded contempt of the self-constituted authorities ? Shall those functionaries who alone can be applied to for the protection of the laws, continue to be, as they were innocently but truly described by the late Mayor, Magistrates withou respect—" Bless you, the Corporation have no in fluence in Stamford !" or shall a new state of things be called for I ) They will not denude them selves of their deeply-stained garments : let the King, therefore, be beseeched to tear their gowns from their shoulders; let a Magistracy be appointed who "will have ityluenee in Stamford," and whose names will not be associated with the robberies of charities, the packing of juries, the prostitution of the law, the perversion of justice, the Hunting at elections, the bludgeoning at feasts, the sneaking at Burghley, and the slave-driving everywhere else. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—I should not have trespassed upon your valuable columns, had any one more capable than myself taken up the cudgels in defence of a class of individuals who have been most grossly libelled by his Grace the Duke of Wel lington, in a speech of his in his piece the other evening, during the debate caused by Lord Wharneliffe's motion. The principal argument urged by the Noble Duke against the Ministerial reform Bill was, I understand, founded upon the circumstance that it would transfer the elective franchise . from the hands . of those Lords and Gentlemed who have so long used to illustrate that "olden rule, " that a man may do as he wills with his own," and with other people's too, according to the reading of a Noble Marquis, into the hands of a class of individuals whose humble ad vocate I am—the shopkeepers of the United Kingdom. Whether his Grace intended to use the term " shopkeepers" invidiously or not I shall not stop to inquire; be that as it may, it must be applicable to all connected with trade and manufactures, from the merchant and banker of the metropolis, to the humble, but honest and independent artizan of Birmingham. It is acknowledged upon all hands that the wealth and prosperity of England has long, and still continues to be, based upon its commerce and manu factures. Who are, then, these shopkeepers whom his Grace thinks so unfit for the trust which the Constitution intended to repose in them, but the persons upon whose individual and collective exertions the very existence of our beloved country depends? Are they not, I ask, as layal, as patriotic, and as enlightened a class as any of his Ma jesty's subjects, not even excepting the aristoci acy of the realm ? Even the Noble Duke must admit this. Oh ! but says Lis Grace, the aristocracy who now nominates, and consequently return, a majority of the Commons House of Parliament, have a much greater stake in the preservation of order and the general welfare of the country than cin be expected to be possessed by shopkeepers. If, Mr. Editor, l.is Grace fancies that be has a greater stake in the preservation of public order than the humble in dividual who now addresses you, because he possesses a greater number of acres, I tell him most unhesitatingly that his conclusion is as fallacious as his reasoning. Have not I, in common with the great and influential class whose cause I have espoused, as great an interest in the prevention of anarchy and confusion when I look at my domestic circle, whose wants can only be supplied by the maintenance of that public order and confi fence which his Grace would imply we as a body are leagued to break, or at least indifferent to ? Does he fancy that my little property is less valuable to me than his Princely acres are to himself? Without fear of contradiction I assert that the middle classes have many stronger incentives to loyalty than can be found amongst those who fill the higher stations in, society. If we examine this question, it. will for the most part be found that avarice is the prevailing incitement among the boroughmongers, whilst on the contrary, sen timents, which, I fear, are not very common among them, form the main inducements existing in the breast of the slandered class, and sentiments which operate more strongly, more nobly than any other—conjugal and parental affection, and patriotism untainted by courtly intrigue. I think his Grace will not gain much by the comparing the aristocracy with the middle classes. I claim for the latter a very great superiority in general information upon all affairs connected with the welfare of the kingdom, and a much larger proportion of that rather scarce, and consequently valuable, article—common sense. His Grace, in common with the party who look up to him as their leader, denies that the Constitution ever intended to intrust the elective franchise in the hands of the commonalty, and with their usual sagacity finding every thing in the shape of argu ment opposed to their interested view of the case, en deavour to mystify the subject, and utter so many absur dities, that the public are left in the same predicament which they must find themselves placed in at the conclu sion of one of their declamatory harangues, of really not knowing what they have been talking about. This pain ful state of things appears to have been observed by a Morning Journal warmly espousing their falling cause, and the Editor, after taxing our truly British Premier with gross ignorance in stating that representation and not nomination was intended try the Constitution, goes on to observe—" That which the British Constitution has esta blished, and requires continually and unchangeably to exist is, the due balance or harmonious combination in the State, of the monarchical, the aristocratical, and popular powers, and whatever mode of caring together the House of Commons serves to perpetuate this balance is constitutional, and whatever threatens to disturb it is revolutionary." Now, Mr. Editor, if I know any thing of the subject, there is not one word of this paragraph which would not most readily be subscribed to by every rational Reformer. This is the only attempt which I have ever met with at putting their arguments into a tangible form ; and the desperate shift to which they are driven may be easily perceived from the circumstance, that their argument tells with all its force against themselves. Where, I ask, is the "due balance, the harmonious combination" in the present state of things ? They must be grossly ignorant of the history of the past, who do not know that the just prerogative of the Monarch has often been at least crippled by the in fluence of the boroughmongers ; and as to the popular power, where does that exist ? Certainly not in the House of Commons. The opponents of Reform cannot mean to insult our understandings by telling us that the 65S gentlemen who meet in St. Stephens' are the popular power, or the representatives of that power, when it is a notorious fact that the majority of that House are the re presentatives of the aristocracy. The undeniable fact is this—the aristocracy elect the House of Commons, fur a majority is equivalent to the whole. The aristocracy reign unrivalled in the House of Lords, and the aristocracy can controul the Monarch in any attempt he may wish to make towards the ameliorating the condition of his people. Is this a " due balance—an harmonious combination ?" Is it not rather discord'a..d preponderance with a vengeance? If the aristocracy must influence the choice of the people, let it be by such a line of conduct as shall prove they identify themselves with'ilie happiness and prosperity of the whole, especially of the different neighbourhoods in which they reside, and they will find a much stronger hold upon the affections of every Briton than they will obtain by insulting their common sense in returning two Members to Parliament to sit for a green mound, and then call them representatives of the people ; by pensioning their retainer', to the nineteenth generation, upon an over burthened, but loyal nation ; or by ejecting honest, in dustrious, and free-born Englishmen, with their wives and families, from their homes, for the crime of having exer cised the right which even the present defective state of the representation has given him, with as little compunc tion as would be felt in kicking a dog out of a Noble Marquis's drawing-room. Is this the " harmonious com bination, the due balance," of which the Morning Post boasts? In conclusion, let me entreat the Noble Duke whose name has been connected with so tnany of his country's most glorious triumphs, not to sully his fame by leading the forlorn hope of a band of selfish borough mongers, who talk about the Constitution teeing in danger when every one knows they mean their pockets, in oppo sition to the " British nation, with their Sovereign at their betel." Apologising for having so trepassed upon your valuable columns, I am, Mr. Editor, your obedient servant, April 2, 1831. A SHOPKEEPER. POLAR CIRCLE : CAPTAIN Ross.--We have received intelligence that the E•quimaux have not this season visited any of the Hu.lson Iby set , kmtnts ; and the fact cannot but be considered interesting with re ference to Captain Ross's Expedition. It is to be pre- sumed that had these people !alien in either with our en terprising countryman, or the wreck of his vessel, they would waive their usual journey, having through these means secured their supplies ; but at all events the pro bability is that Captain Ross had pined the main land, though up till last winter he had not been able to pass it. ,Literary Gazette.

Want of space will not permit us even to name one half of the towns and villages which have been illuminated, and demonstrated their loyalty and joy, on the success of the Reform Bill. The exemplary conduct of the inhabitants of Paisley, a town that has been de scribed as " the great focus of radicalism," the " hot-bed of sedition," deserves especial notice. When marching through the town, with two bands of music at their head, they came to two unilluminated houses,occupied by respect able men, anti-reformers, instead of breaking the windows, they gave three heat ty cheers, and marched on in their career of joy. It has, indeed, been a perfect jubilee in the west of Scotland. Port Glasgow, Stewarton, Greenock, Ayr, Kilinarnock, and all the villages without a single ex ception, have been illuminated. There has been an ex ception in the north--there has been no illumination in Aberdeen, the inhabitants having resolved to wait till the final triumph of the Bill, but there is to be a splendid Public dinner in honour of its success in that city on Mon day. Falkirk was list night brilliantly illuminated : bon fires blazed on the streets, and universal joy prevailed.-- Scotsman. 1830 i 1831 FRANCE. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, APRIL, 2. M.,Casimir Perrier rose to make a communication from Government. " Gentlemen," said he, " the King's Ministers have not concealed from you any thing of the state of things which their predecessors had bequeathed to them. The first and most press mg. claim upon our attention now is the maintenance of public order. A preventive system in that regard , s permissible, and offers at once the best and cheapest guarantee for good effects. We count upon the devotion of the Chamber for the adoption of a project of law. We require a credit of 1,500,000 francs for secret expences. This demand was ori ginally fixed at 1,400,000 francs. It was successively raised to 2,000,000 and to 1,500,000, but this sum w:►s found insufficient, and in August last we were obliged to ask 500,000 francs more. It is proposed to establish Commissarie—General of Police in cer tain stations, in order to carry the repressive mea sures into effect. We therefore ask your confidence. You must look to the results for the true exposition of our motives. The Minister then proposed a project of law— " That there be opened at the Ministry of the 'Se cretary of State for the Departments an extraordi nary credit of 1,500,000 francs, in order to make good the secret expellees of the year 1831, and for other urgent and unforeseen purposes."—Ordered. The Chamber then proceeded to the secret sent-. tiny upon the totality of the law of riots. M. de Corcelles—l desire to know why Minis ters have not brought down the electorial law. M. d'Argout—lt is in process. It was only two days ago that the law passed the Peers, and it wilt reach here in due time. M. Dupont (de I'Eure)—We want to know, if we can, what it is we are about ? Al. de Pinienas—l think the Chamber ought to see the electorial law before it votes a single franc by way of credit to the Ministers. The Chamber, however, proceeded to the scru, tiny. 'The result was— For Ministers Against them 54. Majority for Ministers 173 The Bill was then passed, as was also the hill re specting offences of the press, without any alteration in the amendments of the Peers. M. Dumeylet, as the Chamber was rising, moved that all discussion upon the supplies to the Crown be postponed till the Chamber had voted the Electoral Law.—(Cries of " No, no !") The motion was not even seconded, and the Chamber adjourned at a quarter to six. this in such c whole rePrese 6.

(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) The dismissal from office of General Lamarque and others, announced in the 2lfonitcur of yesterday, form exclusively the topic of conversation here to day. All the newspap,rs contain leaders on the subject—most of them severely condemnatory of the severity of the punishments thus inflicted on the best patriots. The Minister, however, appears determined to proceed with vigour. The Moniteur of this day contains a notification that M. Lanjuinais ( Assistant Attorney-General) had been superseded. Generals Sentele, Subervich, and Bacheler, having refused to withdraw from the " Patriotic Associatioq' the Moniteur of to-morrow will, in all probability, announce that they also have been placed on half. pay. The struggle has thus commenced in good earnest between the ultra-liberaux and the moderate party. M. Casimir Perier is a firm and resolute, but (as you already know) an intemperate man. The party he has attacked may be fairly deemed the majority of the nation, backed by the majority of the Press. One or other must give way. If M. Casimir Perier shall be discomfited and oblige,' to retire, many years will elapse ere moderation will again govern the French Cabinet. The great probability is that he will be able to maintain himself in office; but it iS extremely hazardous to speculate 031 the future con. duct of a people so inflammable arid (in revolutionary matters) so extempore as the French. I felt obliged, yesterday, to communicate to you the opinion of a military mail on the " destitutions" above referred to. His inference was, that the Minister reckoned upon that " popular measure," a war, to bear him out of the difficulty into which he has plunged. The opinion to-day of persons equally well informed is, that the Government is certain that pace will not be disturbed. In the latter I would be inclined to concur, although I know that the pre parations for war have not in the slightest degree relaxed. The 11th Regiment of Artillery passed through the rue St. Honore this forenoon, with their entire train, on their way, as report stated, for the Belgic frontier. Indeed, the utmost bustle and activity continue to pervade the whole War de part in e t. The Minister applied yesterday to the Chamber of Deputies, not for 1,200,000 francs, as I stated to you, s me days since, he would do, but for 1,500,000, for police, and secret-service money—principally to be spent in the Western Departments (La Vendee). The necessity for extensive police measures in that quarter must be imperative to justify such a demand. The presence of General Lamarque there would have done more than that of legions of police; but I shall not enter upon the discussion of a question which will occupy all France for un incalculable period of time, and which, after all, might not k terest you. REFORM MEETINGS IN SUPPORT OF HIS MAJESTY'S MINISTERS. A Meeting of the Burgess., and Inhabitants of the rough of Newport, was held at the King's Head Inn, New port, on the 31st of March, convs n td by public notice, when the following resolutions were unanimously agreed to : I. That the individuals composing this meeting have witnessed with the highest gratification the support af forded by the house of Tredegar to the Bill now before Parliament, for introducing a Reform into the represen tation of the people--a measure which will secure the sta bility of the Throne, preserve unimpaired the just rights of the Aristocracy, secure to the Commons of the United Kingdom the affection and support of the entire nation, and, by restoring to the people their political rights, pro duce that union and concord among all classes of the com munity, which will establish on a certain foundation the future welfare of these realms. That the best thanks of this meeting are therefore due, and are respectfully ten dered to Sir Charles Morgan, Bart., and Charles Morgan Robinson Morgan, Esq., fOr having, in the late division of the House of Commons, voted for the second reading of the Bill introduced into Parliament by his Majesty's Go vernment for effecting such Reform. 2. That Sir Charles Morgan, Bart., and C. M. R. Morgan, Esq., having thus, deliberately and in the face of the country, declared that a real and efficient Reform in the representation of the country is required, and their approbation of the principl e of th e Bill, now in progress through the Hoase of Commons, as a safe, re isonable, and effective mode of producing such Reform, the indivi dua!s composing this meeting feel satisfied, that on the high character, and unquestionable integrity of these gen tlemen they may safely rely, for a zealous and unflinching support of the Bill in its further progress through the House, entire and unniutilated, in all its material pro v i. sions, according to th e prayer of the petition of the free hold,rs of this county, unanimously agreed to at a county meeting. 3. That after the unprecedented display of public p utter h r eft opi nion in support of the Bill, seeing that . it is opposed prin cipally by those whose private interest is at variance with the public good, we hesitate not to declare that man an enemy to his country who ventures to hazard the safety of the Constitution, by withholding from the people their po litical rights. 4. That the Marquis of Worcester, the representative in Parliament for the . borough,. having refused to support the prayer of the petition for Reform, forwarded to him from this place, and having in the late division voted in Go vernment, in defiance of the declared opinion of his consti.confidence. his Majesty's Go pclosiserdegialrd for their wishes, 5. That in case his Majesty's Governinint should be unfortunately defeated in their endeavours to carry through Parliament their measure of Reform, and a diaso"ution • ta o un p e( p r o it s; n i l o om u lso t t tet h sr e sehn m ,t, d u a r nt e o should thereupon take place, the individuals composing 2 F U !even 'uqui, will b iutie Spirit the •] modi. sollre so n hsd bi hsd she is A .J
