OXFORD COUNTY MEETING. The Meeting called for the purpose of consi dering the propriety of presenting a Loyal Ad dress to the King, expressing the attachment of those subscribing it to his person and to the Con stitution, was held yesterday. The City, in con sequence, presented a scene of .unusual bustle and animation. In the course.of the morning' a 'Considerable crowd assembled in front of the Town Hall. Those who formed it continued to arnose themselves from time to time by: shouting " The Queen, the Queen 1" when any person whose political sentinients were known, or, sup posed to be known, approached. The Gentle men connected with the London Press, and a few other individuals, ware accommodated with seats in the Hall before the doors were thrown open to the public generally. From half-past eleven the ternolt continued to increase, and the calls of " The Queen ! The Queen !" were incessantly repeated. At a few minutes before noon Lord Holland Mad - e his appearance in the Hall, and took his seat on the right of the Chair. At ten minutes after twelve the- High Sheriff arrived, and Aortly - aftnr the doors were opened. An immense rush . then .took place ; the shouting crowds ran- hastily up stairs, and In' a few mo ments the Hall was completely filled. The Earl of Macclesfield took his seat on the left of the 'Ugh Sheriff, and the Earl of Jersey entered shortly after. The tumult in the Hall became as loud as it had previously been in the street, and the heat was - so 'great that a general call was .riade for the windows to be opened. Some dif ficulty- Waving occurred in pulling down one or more of the‘ sashes, the glass was instantly de molished. The parties engaged in this work were loudly called upon to pull the sashes down, as it was supposed the difficulty which had-arisen proceeded from an attempt to force them up. The calf,' however, was but partially attended to, and sticks were heard breaking the panes in various . parts of the Hall for a considerable time after the call had been made. • At about twenty minutes before one s silence being obtained, the proceedings commenced in the usual form. Arnow , : , the Noblemen and Gen tlernen present, were noticed the following:— Sir jV. E Taunton, Lord Holland, Lord Jerse!, Oldield Bowles, Esq, Read, Esq, A. Annesley, Eig,r Lord Churchill, .7. A. Wright. Ell, - Sit Crolu, Charles Pass, En, John Fans. Esq, M.P., W. I-I. Ashburst, Esq, M.P., George Dash Wood, Esq, Esq, High Sheriff Fraser ' W. Tauntr.n, Esq. Captain Er3ns, Lord Har court, G. F Stratton, Esq. W. Hall, Esq, John Grosvenor, Esq, Rev. W. Filwer, Rev. John Graloan3 ' Rev. W. Kirby, Rev. W. Wintte, Rev. Doctof Browne, John Fans, jun. Esq, Rev, Mr. Pickeriag, H. Parioni, Esq, Thomas Ir3llier, Esq. - . _ The Iliott SHERIFF opened the business of the day by stating the purpose of the Meeting, and reading the Requisition. He described the re quisition to have been most numerously and re spectably signed by the Noblemen, Clergy, and Freeholders of the County. He called on the Meeting to give every one (whatever his political sentiments might be) a fair, patient, and impar tial hearing-. _ _ Mr.' [text, then came forward to move the Ad dress. The times, he remarked, on which they had fallen, would no longer allow them to enjoy in private that generous glow Of gratitude - to the . Most High,"'which a just sense of the numberless blessings bestowed on them could not fail to ex. cite. The Patriot was now called by the circum stance's of the times to reave the contemplative and come into action ; and it became his duty on all proper occasions to prove to the county, to the kingdom, and the world, that because . he feared God, he-honoured the King, and all in authority under him Hisses here interrupted the speaker.) The RIGII SHERIFF begged that every Gentle man might be -allowed "a fair hearing. His re quest, he said, was not confined to One side or the other, but extended-to all parties. This Address was followed by a cry of " hear him," but the tumult -continued, and Lord Hol land was called open by the-crowd. Lordogonr.,oi - n said he had no right to address to therworie syllable till they had heard the Gen tleman 'who was in possession of the Meeting. He was - flattered by their desire to hear him, but it was impossible forlita to address them till the Gentleman who .was 'on his leas had given him something to answer. As a Christian, he eras bound to draw maxim's fin- the regulation of his conduct -from Holy writ, and in that volume which had been furnished for the direction, in- struction, and consolation of mankind, he read these words—" Let every soul yield obedience to the-higher powers." • Here anew-interruption occurred. Lord Hor.naNn said, Whatever the.sentiments of the Meeting Might be; they ought to. rernern her that the Gentleman near him had invited them there. If they did not like the dish pre pared for them, they ought at least to let the covers be removed that they. Might see- what it was that had- been provided for them. After wards he and those near him might try to furnish a sauce that would make 'them relish it better.. For the honour of the City, for their Civvn houour, and for the honoUr of freedom or debate, he hoped they, would hear the - Gentleman. The 14:art of JERSEY called on the Meeting to give the Speaker a fair hearing. Mr. READ repeated from Sl'.ripture the maxims, " Let e very soul yield obedience to the higher powers, for all, power was from God, and- -these who respected it not, sinned against a, divine on , dinance." .He was a friend to social order, civil government, and religious toleration. He had been attached . to various *denominations of Chris tians, with much benefit to hirnself—(" no doubt of that")—WhO were sinctr.dY 'attached . to the laws and constitution of their 'country, and he :new that he sppke their sentiments, when he said the predominant power in this country was tplerant. .lle Wished to see no experiments made with Church and State, but was rather disposed to rally round the Altar, the Cross, and -the Throne, which gave him the enjoyment of true, ciyil; and religious liberty. There were those Oiaposedto him who talked a great deal of Liber ; but opposed these in sentiment, and a broken window or broken head would soon prove that they had, tyranny in their hearts.—(Hisses.) — Was it necessary for him to add, that with such sentiments as these, he felt it a high honour to vain. be associated not only with many Men of rank and talents in the county, but with many an hon est freeholder, to vote an Address, expressing their attachment to the Throne, and their ab horrence of the blasphemous publications, which had been so largely disseminated by those who, not content with being the enemies to their re pose here, would rob them of their hope of salva tion hereafter. He should now proceed to move the Address. While reading the Address, he was asked— " Are you a Freeholder Yes." Another voice said, every Freeholder in Ox fordshire was loyal. Mr. READ said, he was glad of it. " Why do you not 'confute the blasphemies circulated ?"—" We are at it now." These questions and remarks caused much mirth in the Hall. At the end of the Address a new shout of " The Queen! the Queen !" was set up: . Mr. STRATTAN said, it had been very pro- . perly observed .by the Noble Lord (Holland), that they should first ascertain what the dish was that was to be served up to them before objecting to it, and then they would know whether or not they liked it.. Now he would tell then, -what the dish wasit was a dish of loyalty, with con stitutional sauce.—(", None of your sauce.") — He wished to serve up to them the roast beef of Old England, and no . dish of French frogs. He was disposed to, serve up to them Old English principles, and not French Jacobinical doctrines. —(Disapprobation.)—They might as well hear him at once, for he was not to be daunted by either noise or. clamour. Though those opposed to him might be disposed to break the heads and windows of the individuals froth whom they dif fered, that should not prevent him from speaking his mind. It was said, the loyalty of that county .was so well known, that no expression of it was necessary at this time. He was of a different opinion. He thought it ought to be expressed now, as it could not be expressed too strongly or too often. Though a similar declaration was l made in that Hall within the short space of 1.5 months, the spirit of hatred to all authority, and of opposition to all revealed religion having con tinued to shew itself, a new declaration became necessary: He considered these principles to be not English, but French, and he detested and abhorred them from his heart.—(Disapprobation.) The supporters of these revolutionary doctrines seized every topic of public distress, to make it the vehicle. for promulgating them, with a view to work on the passions of the lower classes, well knowing that if their .reason and common sense were appealed to, the wretched sophistry would be seen through and exposed. The course he had described had been preserved for the last 30 years: It was in the year 1792,,when the seeds of irreligion, sowed by Voltaire and the French philosophy, first took root in this country, and the war in which we were obliged to engage af forded too fine an opportunity to be allowed to pass by those who wished to destroy all law—all constitutions—and all religions. These princi ples had been successfully resisted in England, but in Ireland they had produced rebellion and -bloodshed ; and the Irish bad been seduced by the cry of Catholic Emancipation to invite French Armies to their shores. He had now no- objec tion to a Meeting being called to represent to the King any grievances of which they might have to complain, but when he saw an advantage taken of these by known traitors, he would resist their designs to the utmost of his power. That the Freeholders of Oxfordshire should be disposed to .support the views of traitors was impossible, but of . all the delusions that he had ever wit nessed, that into which from a cry he had heard in that room, it appeared many there had fallen, seemed to him the most wonderful. They had seen those who were known to be hostile to all Governments ; those who were levellers in prin ciple and traitors in practice, arrogating to them selves exclusive loyalty. But what loyalty was it ? It was not loyalty to their Sovereign, to whom by every law s human and divine, they owed alle giance, it was not loyalty to the Constitution. [Here it was hinted to the Speaker, that bre vity was necessary, or every one who wished to address the Meeting,. would not be able to speak.] Mr. STRATTAN said, he would not detain the meeting ten minutes, if they would hear him quietly ; but if they would not do so, he should occupy them all day. The loyalty of those he had described was not loyalty to the King and Constitution, but it was loyalty to that Woman whoH(Here he was. again Interruptectby hisses and shouts of ." The Queen ! the Queen!" and ,the tumult became louder than it had previously been.) The HIGH SHERIFF• called for silence, but in Lord Iro - T,t,Aivn • then attempted to obtain a hearing, and after some time succeeded. If the reasons he had before given were not sufficient to engage the Fleeting to listen in silence, the reason just supplied by the Gentleman near him, ought to prevail. They would get through the business of the day .sooner by giving every one a fair hearing. If they. did . not do this, it would be said, by their adversaries that they carried their point by noise and clamour. Mr. STRATTAN denied that he had adversaries. He was diSpoSed to hold out the hand of good fellowshiii to every Englishman. Lord llocr.ANn thought it. singular that the Gentleman should deny that he had adversaries, and make the statement. he had made, after libelling the people of England for a quarter of an hour. Mr. STRATTAN resumed.—What he meant was, he owed no to any man on account of his political sentiments, if he were but loyal to his King and Country—(Cries of 44 The Queen, the Queen.")—ffe again animadverted on the revo lutionary principles introduced into this country from France, which had seduced so many who were once well .meaning -und loyal men to be traitors to their King and enemies to their coun try.. Those who seduced them would-also, if possible, lead them to be disloyal to their God. The mischief done by these persons he instanced in the avidity with which the blasphemous pro ductions of doubly convicted Atheists were . . bought up: Treason and Atheisit had been ex tensively ciftuhited, and it therefore behoved that,meetin9; to declare to their Sovereign that they remained untainted. He could wish to see meetings called for etch a purpose every week, and whenever uch were called, he would attend 'them. He admitted that great distre3s existed, in the country, and for one he would be ready to attend any meeting that might be called to re present their grievances to the Throne. BUt the question now wasovere they loyal, of were they not ?—lf they were, he thought they ( - night to vote the present Address, which he therefore begged leave to second. The. Earl of JERSEY declared he would not follow the last speaker (who he believed bore ill-will to no man), through the stages of the French Revolution, but would apply himself at once to the question. He thought the proposed Address unnecessary in the way in which it had been put. He did not see that there was any occasion for declaring_ their abhorrence of blas phemous publicationS. It was his belief that these were held in such abhorrence by the people - ge nerally, that he who wished to delude them, would succeed better by means of the hypocrisy of Cromwell, than by the impiety of Carlile. That blasphemous publications had appeared—that there were wicked men in the country he did not deny. But the evil complained of had been greatly increased by the measure; of his Majesty's Ministers, and. especially by their conduct to-, wards the Queen of England. The Earl of • MACCLESFIELD spoke to 'order, and submitted that the case of the Queen was not before the Meeting. The Earl of JERSEY insisted that he was no out of order. Lord Hoir.ANn'contended that what had been stated by his Noble Friend was not to be object ed to, after, what they had - beard of Voltaire, of the French Rei.olution, and the Rebellion in Ireland. The proceedings against the Queen formed, ih his opinion, a part of the 'case to be submitted to their consideration. He added, that he had just heard with much satisfaction that the High Sheriff over-ruled the objection which been taken.—(Applanse.) The-Earl of J ERSEY'said he opposed the Address considering it to carry with it au expression of approbation of the measures of Ministers. He censured the conduct of Government in the va rious stages of the late proceedings. A Bill of Pains and Penalties was . not in all instances un constutitional as a measure of State policy, but he wished the State policy to he shown. Minis ters, it appeared, were the Prosecutors, and they had said that greater advantages were afforded to the Queen than were ever conceded to 'any other individual under prosecution. But what were these advantages ? They amounted but to a permission to cross-examine a second time such animals as the perjured Majocci ; the ungrateful Dumont, the camelion Sacchi, and (if they could have caught him) the renegade Rastelli. After some further remarks on the case of the Queen, he called the attention of the Meeting to the de pressed state of agriculture. That distress proved there was something wrong. Ministers might not be able to remove the evil altogether, but they might pay some attention to the petitions presented on the subject, and they might adopt measures of re tyenchment. lie concluded by moving an amend- Meta, which went to condemn the late proved: ings against the Queen, to call for measures. cal culated to tranquillize the public mind on that subject, and to pray that the distresses of the agri cultural classes might. be speedily taken into con sideration. The Rev. WM. FILMED. seconded the•amend men t. Mr. PEERS expressed regret at finding persons putting themselves forward flow, for the first time as Freeholders, to introduce a difference of opinion into the County. He wished to conciliate all parties. He denied that the charges prefer red against the requisitionists in a manifesto (or hand-bill) which had been circulated were just. He, for one, disclaimed all hostility to the Queen and he denied that he entertained any wish for the postponement of an inquiry into the existing distress among the, agricultural classes, .but the present did not appear to him to be the time at which that question should be taken into consi deration. He wished if it were possible to em body a part of the amendment with the original Address, so as to prevent further agitation of the questions now under discussion. Lord HOLLAND said it was true (as had jast been observed,) that he now appeared for the . first time among them as a Freeholder of the County: :Not having taken any part in their proceedings, and not having lived in that County since he resided in their beautiful City for the purposes of educatiOn (now, unfortunately, some years ago,) he had to apologize for appearing among them that day," If; however, he came to the banquet with an tniweicome ( as he feared he was to some) he did not come an unbidden guest. He had been invited to attend by the High She i•iff, who filled the Chair so honourably, and as it appeared to him, so impartially, and on an occa sion so peculiar -as the present, he had thought it. his duty tO:attend. He meant to treat no set Of men in the County with disrespect. if the Noble Earl, whO held the high situation of Lord .Lieutenant of . the County, and his brother requisitionists, thought the Address they had proposed necessary, they did their duty in calling the meeting. With the exception of a few words which his Noble Friend had moved should be omitted, he concurred with the Ad dress. . He merely objected, to what was said on the subject of blasphemous publications, because they had nothing' in proof before them on this subject. They ought to be cautious how they im-' puted motives to those from whom they differed. The Gentleman who had moved this, address, - had advanced doctrines which Parliament for more than a century had regarded as highly trea sonable and seditious. To fear GOd and honour - the King, was a maxim written in every Eng:- lishman's heart; but that they were to submit toull in power under the King, was a new prin ciple in religion. • They were taught to pray for the King, and they were used to pray for the Queen But , would any man say they were or dered by the word of God to submit to the mea sures of Ministers whatever they might be? He wished to know how those who held such opi nions could prove themselves loyal subjects to the House of Brunswick ? If resistance in no case was justifiable, then had jadies the Second and his posterity been cruelly injured. When the Gentleman near.,him had talkdd of French `princi~l s, he had tb . ongtt (he meant - no inci vility)' tat he - wat.S out' t 3 giai his feffim - ivliv had moved the Address a good drubbing. For the principles that he had advanced were French, were those which prevailed under Louis X UV. Il e would chew the• evil consequences of not telling the King what they thought from what occur red in the early part of the reign of James the SeCond; He on his accession was extremely poPiilar because he had triumphed over those who were branded with the names of Levellers and RepubliCao: He was particularly' well With . the Church of. England. Addresses were got up in all partS of the kingdom, to congratulate him on his coming to the Crown, The .clergy, how ever, with all their regard for the King, had one small uneasiness on the stibjeCt of his being a Catholic or a Papist. If any due proposed to give him a hint on this subject.at any of the Meetings that were called, it was over -ruled, and it was said--" No, no, let. us put in mithing but what is loyal and dutiful ;" and nothing but sugar words were supposed to be loyal. What was the consequence ? King-James on receiving these, probably said, " where is the jealousy which I have heard the people:entertain of me as a Papist ? They have Surrendered their apprehensions on this subject, , and they will surrender , their liberties as easily." The conduct then pursued by those who addressed the King, he believed encouraged James to commit hose acts which finally produced the Revolution. He proceeded to argue ; that on the present oc casion to carry up au Address to the King-, witl► out giving any opinion on the topics embraced by the amendment, would he to mislead the King, as to the state of public opinion. lie would now tell them a story which he had picked up in London. He had seen a loyal Address prepared by the people of Hackney, which expressed great zeal in the cause of religion. But the second name was Zachariah Levi, of Stamford Hill. This might be the name of some person converted from the errors of Judaism. But the next name was that of Mr. Rothschild, the Great Jew Loan Contractor. lie was o , e of those who, from dread of the great danger to which our hioly Church was exposed, came forward in this alarming mo ment to defend it. Ilis name also appeared to another Address of a similar character. Now, it was clear, that he must have signed the paper, not knowing what it was, or he must have, signed it insincerely. When Jews signed documents of this description, where loyalty and religion were in the front, it was not unnatural to su'pect that profit was in the rear. He, at great length, de fended the introduction of the several topics em braced by the amendment, and maintained that, if blasphemous publications had increased in the proportion of ten to one, religious publications had increased in the proportion of two hundred to one. The quickness of some people in dis covering blasphemy, reminded him of a story of a Lady of very high quality, who some years ago travelled in Italy. She was a very virtuous and discreet lady. She visited Sir W. Hamilton, and went out with 'him one day in a boat in the bay of Naples, whore, as is very common in fine wea ther, a great number of naked children were bath ing. The Lady, who was very modest, held up her fan and looked very unhappy. Sir William, who was a little bit of a wag, upon this remark ed. "It is indeed very shameful that naked girls should bathe here in such numbers."— " Girls !" exclaimed the Lady, " they are naked boys.".—" 0 !" replied' Sir William, " then your Grace did look!"—(A laugh.)—Thus it was with those Rho most condemned blasphemy, they were the persons who were most on the alert to find it. Mr. TAUNTON' (Recorder•of Oxford) agreeing with much of what had fallen from the Noble Lords aitd Rev. Gentlemen who had supported the Amendment, begged to state his reasons for favouring the . original address. [Here a loud burst of disapprobation over powered. the voice of the Speaker.] Lord HOLLAND implored the meeting to give the Gentleman a patient hearing. At the Bed ford Meeting, which he had lately attended, there were but two dissentient hands held up. One of these belonged to an honeA villager (a miller), and the freeholders had patiently heard him. Nothing did that meeting so much honour as their conduct in this instance. If they did not listen to every one, their final decision would be worth nothing. , Mr. TAUNTON resumed. He thanked the No ble Lord for his interference, and proceeded to examine the Amendment. The Noble Earl, in his Amendment, had said nothing o❑ the momen tous subjects of Parliamentary Reform and Ca tholic Emancipation. Why were these omitted, but that they were irrelevant to the business be fore them; and these being admitted', why should other irrelevant matter be introduced. Ile de clined going into the case of the Queen, and con tended, that whatever might be the opinion, as to the guilt or innocence of her Majesty, the inquiry was, at all events, a full one, and'the trial a fair one. He proceeded to comment on the Amend ment, when he was interrupted by the cry of " Loaves and fishes." He replied to this insi nuation by asserting his own independence of mind. Ile wished to know how the Noble Earl could reconcile himself to the belief that the amendment was necessary. Could he Or his Noble Friend believe that the proceedings against the Queen were likely to be revived He did not suppose that they could entertain such an idea. Could he then propose it but for the purpose of irritating and wounding the feel ings of the King, or for that of dividing the opi-1 nions of that meeting ? The Noble Earl denied by his gesture, that he bad any wish to wound the feelings of the King. He believed him, but still he was of opinion that the Amendment would not, fail to have that effect, He very ably discussed the other subjects touched upon in the Ainendment, and shewed that it was Jaot in the power of Parli j ament to afford the country . . .. ' immediate relief: Tie was convincedth atthe vessel of the State .Would ultimately right itself, but this could not tj'accomplished (without an. abandonrnent of Piinciple§ which dught ever to be maintained,) id a few months, and rierhaps riot in a few years.

Lord Ifor.r„tNa addressed the meeting in ex planation of the questioti ou which they we - n.t: about to decide. It was . aAed if the Freeholder; who were pre-' sent might not be septirated from the other• per.; sons who were in the Hall. Many voices answered 44 Yes." A discussion of some length took place as td the way in which this could. be effected, Lord HoLLAND said the present was, whethe.r, rightly or not, he would not say, a meeting of freeholders. A late Act of Parliament seemed, in his judgment, almost to require that rs should be called at the same time.---(Loud rp= plause at the lower end of the hall.)---At thia meeting, however, none but freeholders ought to vote, and he hope . ci all others world abstain fro:a holding up their hands. The question wars then put. Very few hands were held up for the Address in the body of -thy Hall. There was ,a large show at the upper end of it. The amendment was decided by the She riff to be carried' by a large majority. A protest against this deciiion ii;as banded td the Sheriff,,on the groifnd aka the majority of those who, had voted were not freeholders. Thanks were given t o th e High. Sheriff, ant - three cheers for Lord Iforianii; and about five o'clock the Meeting broke op. FOR THE SUN. Ma. Enrron—An impartial observer of the political state of this Country, who has at heart alone its welfare, unbiassed by expectation of promotion for his sentiments or reward for his services, must naturally. hear with regret and alarm the rumours of dissentious and collisions between the Members of the Aristocracy, espe cially those who form the Council of the Nation. In, the heat and confusion of opinions in the pre sent day, it is still more lamentable to hear ru mours of domestic quarrels still arising among . the Royal Blood ; because, if the Royal Familf do not feel the necessity of harmony ameng them selves, it will be in vain that honest anicoura , geous men endeavour to support their 'Throne for when they open a breach in their own Esta blishment, there are others always ready to widen that breach. "'A House divided against itself cannot stand." One party will urge on the one side, and another the other side, until, by the . blind impetuosity of both, the whole will be Family cannot see n o t on ly th e i nt li spens ib le itil ptutiged into a gulph inextrittabayrt...-.y R oya l/ portance of unanimity and good` example, but maintain the one and show forth the other, the tie will break that has iu former times bound them togetlwr and held them on the Throne; then they will fall asunder to destruction. They must not imagine the temper of the Country is never to be ruffled—that the Country will everlastingly" thQm to settle their differences, which ge nerate in themselves. The Nation has been often tr:ed iu its fidelity to the Throne and the Altar—but the time pay be the next when it shall have been tried once too often, — it will be too late for the disunited Mem- bers of 'Royalty to seek to join their hands' in amity, when the darkness of revolution shalt have involved them in ruin—to reunite themselves in onebody, on one Throne. But if fro► un controllable circumstances disunion u►ust take place among them, - . let their troubles be not so glaringly exposed to their cou►►try by themselves . 'On the one hand, nor be raked from the Palace in which they shall unhappily exist, by writers , on the other, who, either from want of informa.- Con or talent, can find no subject to vent their shallow thoughts upon, except in distorted re presentations of the misfortunes of mankind.
