PUBLIC MEETINGS. 'NitDDLESEX MEETING FOR REFORM. t'e§torday, pursuant to recitsisitioni "some ffde holders of the county and others of Middlesex, met at the Mermaid, Hackney; for thss purpose of taking into consideration some prope'sition re lative to, Parliamentary - Reform: Mr: ETEa MaottE being called to the Chair, said, that he attended without any expectation • of having that honour conferred upon him. Ile could not contifthe during the necessary time without great inconvenience to himself; but still as they had been pleased , to call upon him, he would obeys-s-( A p pla use.) —T he object of the ' Meeting *as said to be the preserVation of the constitution: He would say it was to restore rather than to I preserve its--(Great Applatise,)—lle hoped that due order would be preserved; and that every person would have a fair, patient and full hear ing. The honourable Gentleman then read the Requisition, and the Answer of the Duke of Portland, Lord Lieutenant of .the County. He thought the Noble Duke should have attended in person, or at least he was in duty botind, as Lord Lieutenant of the, County, to appoint some /de puty to preside in his place. The Requisition was most numerously- and respectably signed, by persons whose income was not less than three or Four hundred thousand a year. Major CARTWRIGHT came forward to move the Resolutions. He would not detain them long as he did not-find his strength sufficient - for entering at large into the subject. • He trusted, however, the Resolutions would speak so plainly as.to rerUOve all necessity for making any observations on them: It was fifty years since the great ob ject of Parliamentary Reform had been taken up. He proposed it himself forty-seven years back, and from that time to the present, he pursued it steadily,. never turning to.the right or to the left. The game was not yet caught, but they were not far from it. There was every reason to believe that the question had made rapid progress, and that it must at length be adopted, not as a mat ter of expediency, but or necessity. Some who opposed it seemed to have very whimsical ideas on the subject, and to _think it quite visionary and impracticable. For. his part he thought the justice and necessity of it were evident, that they were as demonstrable as any proposition in Euclid. ,Re would not detain'them longer, but submit- three Resolutions for their consideration, which he would propose for adoption one after the other. The - Worthy Gentleman then -read the first Resolution. It went to condemn, what it called the Boroughmougering faction, and de clared the country to be in a state which must lead to one of three evils, a Government by gun and bayonet law, a convulsion, or a Reform that would render all equally free, the poor, the rich, the Protestant, the Catholic, and the Dis senter. Dr. DRAPER seconded the Resolution. The necessity of Reform, he said, was never denied ; but the objection always was, that the time had not yet arrived. .If ever, there was a fit time for it, it was the present. There were not more loyal people in the world than the Reformists, They were as much attached .to Royalty and Aristo cracy as their opponents. The people could never be happy till the present system of repre sentation was reformed. They wanted no such persons, no such orators as Mr. Pitt or Mr. Can ning. honest men was all - they . wanted. Ile knew no wordAhat expressed better what they required thams,the word Radical. Universal Suffrage was not so repugnant to the principles of the Constitution as some appeared to think. The Crown itself rested oti Universal Suffrage. He defied any man to bring a solid argument against it. As to the blasphemous and seditious publications complained of, there might be such things in circulation, but they were reprobated, not received by the public. Ministers could not perhaps remove all that now afflicted the people, but it was at least in their power to show that lhey desired to do so. Nothing but a Radical Re. form could effect it. Cutting off one or two rot. ten boroughs would not be sufficient. A Mr. FITZGERALD supported the• Resolution He•began a speech which threatened to be a very long. one ; but the little he said was so overload ed with tawdry, ridiculous ornament, that the gentleman was soon coughed down. The motion was then agreed to. The second Resolution declared that, notwith standing the opinions of Montesquieu and Hume, the science of Government was now so well un derstood, that the affairs of the nation might be beneficially and successfully carried Oil without corruption or a standing army. It concluded by stating that any Reform proposed should be conformable to the Constitution. This, as well as the third Resolution, for a Petition to the House of Commons, grounded on the first and second Resolutions, were agreed to, The ve nerable Major then came forward and proposed a Petition for Reform, in the spirit of the Re solutions. The Petition, which was of great length, was read by Mr. HAyns, a Roman Catholic Clergy man) as we understood. One MILLS, the man who was taken to Bow street some time back, charged with exciting riot ,n St. James's-square, seconded the petition, This person obtained more applause than any of the preceding orators. He ,loudly condemned the. conduct of Lord Grey for gross tergiversa tion and inconsistency on the question of Re form. Among other nostrums for the removal of existing evils, he proposed that the interest of the National Debt should be reduced from 5/. to 2-1/. percent. and that such men as the Duke. of Northumberland, whose income in 1791. was 50,0001. a year, and is now 100,0001. might, without the least inconvenience, be reduced to the situation he held, with respect to pecuniary matters, in 1791. . Mr. BYNG suggested a verbal alteration to wards the close of the petition, where it pro tested against the imposition of taxes by persons not legal representatives of the people. This word he thought would prevent the petition from being Gre w en received. After some further conversation ; the word , . . Corfstitntional was `siibstitUted fOr The Petition was then hgreed to. Mr. WOOi..Eti then carne forward and iir4Osed. sortie ResoluttonS, the, 'Orihcipat Object of, whish . was to 4ppOiht a Cotincil cr Corrirriittee, lOr the phi'pose of Watching 611 mOvementb in the canse, of Reforilt, of apprigh4.the nation whether or not' they iv . ere cionstent with the end tb lre obtainigi their ItePolis en. all such subjects as Concerned . the democracy of England to be published:M . such Papers as would iMert theM gratuitously , . A Man, named FLANAC-AN'iteConded the lutions; This personage is from the sister coun trn and his brogue is still tit native purity: lie never for a Moment attempted to deViate into English prontinciatiom . The Resolutions Were agreed to: The follow ing were among the persbns appointed to act as a Council :—Mr. Jeremy, Major Cartwright, Sir F. Burdett, W. Roberts, Esq., Sir C. Wolseley, Mr. Alderman Wood, and the Rev. W. Draper. Mr. CLARKE proposed another Resolution on the same subject of Reform, which was agreed to. MILLS then proceeded to an attack on Mr. Sheriff Waitimian, for refusing to call a meeting . of the county of Middlesex, in consequence of a trifling informality in the signatures of the requisition. , Major CARTWRIGHT contended that there was no informality. A Person, whose name .we could not learn, defended Mr.- Sheriff Waithman. Mr. BYNG said, a Gentleman had. found fault with' public men for not sitging: ,What sort. of lan they would support. The plan he (Mr. ug) had supported, with Mr. Lambton, Earl v, his own father, and other•erriinent men, to do away with rotten boroughs, and to give tne elective franchiSe to housekeepers ,pay ing direct taxes.;—(Applause.)—He briefly went over the history of representation, and showed that several large bodies of men were now in this Country, who had no existence at the commence. , ment of our system ; and he contended, that that innovation ought not to be dreaded 'which went to give the right of voting to such persons. He was of Opinion, that if all the Reformers were to go forward, and state distinctly that they would go so far and no further, their voice would be attended to. lie reminded them of the fate of the motions in favour of Annual Parliaments. and Universal Suffrage, when only the two tellers appeared in its behalf, and - he could state, that so far as his information went, the feeling was universally against that description of Reform. He' explained the course which he thought ought to be pursued, and having reminded the free holders that he had been 30 years in their service, he declared that he would never suffer himself to be separated from their interests. • Mr. WHITBREAD had always much pleasure in meeting the freeholders of Middlesex, and parti cularly so on the present occasion, as• it afforded him an opportunity of shewing that he was now the same reformer that he had been when he ap peared before them as a candidate. He then spo'ke at considerable length in favour of Reform, but cautioned the people against being too vio lent. Too much violence he could only compare with the physician in the old story, who learning from a thitther practitioner that-four' drops of a certain medicine did a great deal of good, gave his patient twelve, expecting twelve would effect three times as much good, but doing this, he nearly or quite killed the patient. Mr. PAnKfxs, the Ex-Sheriff, Sir G. Nov., and several other Gentlemen then addressed the meeting. The Resolution was carried ; and thanks having been voted to the Mike of Port land and the Chairman of the day; an adjoUrn nent took place. C.AAMBRIDGE' tWONTY MEETING. (From the Morning Chronicle.) Yesterday, at 12 o'clock precisely, S. WELLS, Esq., the Under-Sheriff, entered the Shire Ball amid the "general plaudits of the most numerous and respectable Court of Freeholders that we ever recolhct to have witnessed. lie briefly stated.the . object of - the Meeting, ,and observed, that 'as there were a' great number of Gentlemen anxious to deliver their opinions ou the preSent occasion, and a still greater number anxious to hear those Sentiments, than the Court would con tain, and the Sheriff being desirous that every individual should be accommodated, therefore adjourned the Meetin g to the 'Market-place,' in front of the Rose.

Osborne, who, we regre t, was detained by indisposition from the Meeting. Lord DAcnc rose to address the Meeting, he observed, under considerable embarrassment, as he appeared. that day but as a substitute for his Noble Friend, and their Representative, Lord F. Osborne, whose ill state of health alone had prevented his presence to-day. The last time he (Lord Dacre) had the honour of addressing the Freeholders of the County of Cambridge, it on the occasion .when .he recommended his H. nourable Friend to their. notice; he had sinc o e fought by his side, and had seen him oppose those measures of the Ministry, which had en tailed so much misery upon the country ; he had seen him oppose those measures of the Ministry which, instead of tending towards economy- and retrenchment, had led only to wasteful ex penditure, extravagance, and their own . profit ; and which have brought the country to that situation 'Which every one must deplore.--L-( - plause.)-izthe NO,le Lord then,in a very energetic manner, COMO - tented upon the Continct of Minis , torsi who Ititd even neglected the advice of'Par lininent, dis'regarded the petitions of the. people, 'and, by their extravagance; and profusion ; had been compelled to substitute a paper currency for sterling grlld ; they were little aware; in the 1 encouragement of the paper system, of the ditli ctilties they would create; and the ehd of i'hich If was yet impossible •to Calculate: Bdt it was *otie of these engines Which the Ministry hav e etnphled to work their own destrtiction.—(Great applause.)—The Ministry have made use of mis representation ; they have stated that the agriL culturists are in a State of repo§e, and the Manu facturing interests in a prosperous state: But was not the patience of the people *ell night exhaust ed by their sufferings, which originated in the extravagant measures df the Ministry ? The Country, observed the Noble Lord; is rich, and the soil fertile, yet are the people poor in the result, suffering almost beyond endurance, 'yet suffering patiently, in the hope of better times ; frequently urging redress by their peti tions, but their petitions had been disregarded and despised—despised because they were unattended to, and their grievances unredresSed. This had led to dissatisfaction, and he would say, to justifiable discontent—(Loud applause.)—Bdt the people were unable to contend with the Mi nistry, for they had resorted to that instrument of tyranny, an increased military establiShment: But the people of England are a loyal and will ing people ; "their affections may be gained by mild laws and just administration, for .there need not severe measures and an expensive military esta blishment to controul a willing people ; and tya rannical measures are unnecessary and nugatory. The Noble Lord then observed, that he had not framed 'the Address which he was about to propose, as he was but the representative of an other, or he should have inserted the necessity of Parliamentary Reform, without which the in terests of the, people were disregarded, their voices not listened to, and their petitions rejected with disdain bythose Ministers who deserve punish ment,for—Dere the Noble Lord, was interrupted by the hissing of one or two individuals, bdt which were speedily drowned in the plaudits of the Meeting:]—lfi said the Noble Lord, with energy, those Gentlemen would condescend to answer my arguments, and to controvert the fact, that. Lord Castlereagh has been. convicted of trafficking for seats in Parliament, I am not in capable of conviction: The Ministry have reject-. ed the prayers of the country because they had derived their power, not from the people, but from the Crown. They knew that the Queen was obnoxious, and they conceived that the best mode of securing that power was, by the adoption of the inventions of Hanoverian Mi nisters and foreign spies (applause), and they did not hesitate to resort to a Bill of Pains and Penalties, a measure, contrary to _every principle of justice, and subversive of the Bri tish Conititution. The case of Bishop Atter , bury was adduced as a precedent, but it ought to have been adduced as a light to avoid danger. Ought, then, (observed Lord D.) these Ministers .tole suffered 4) persevere ? Ho-w far the Minis ters of England are under the controul of foreign diplomacy—(hissing from the same quarter) — Have not Gentlemen heard of the Holy Alli ance ?—(Laughter, and loud applause.)--Hare they not heard of that combination of despots, against the liberties of the people of Europe, and had not foreign diplomacy been used in the prosecution, I may add the persecution of the Queen ? The Noble Lord . , after_sorne further re marks, moved the following Address to the King : ADDRESS TO TITS RING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. - - - " We, your Majesty"s.dutiful and loyal subjects, the Nobi lity, Gentry, Clergy, Freeholders, awl other Inhabitants of the County of Cambridge and Isle of Ely; beg leave to - offer to your Majesty the assurance of our zealont . attachntent to your Royal Person and Fatuity, and to your Throne and free Constitution under which we have the happiness to live. When we reflect that the same Revolution seated your Ma jesty's Family - on the Throne of these Realms and coatirmed our liberties, we feel ourselves united in interest to your Ma• jest) , by snore than the common ties between Sovereign' and People. It is a peculiar i and pre-eminent feature of our Constitution to look to the Throne with gratitude, in times of national prosperity, and fur protection And assistance in those periods of distress to which all nations are subject, While the responsibility of Ministers affords us a security against those Acts of misgovernment which lead other cont- Annuities to unavoidable ruin. .‘‘ It would be presumptuous and unnecessary for us to submit the distressed state of the nation to your Majesty's consideration as matter of information. The difficulties tinge, which your people labour. are so notorious, that, on that sub ject at least, opinions are uniform. " In this Agricultural County their effects are naturally felt, in the depressed state of all those who are connected with the - cultivation of land ; and we should be wanting in feeling towards those of our fellow subjects engaged in commerce and manufactures, were we to deny, that at the least their suf ferings,were equal to our own. " Theexistence of so much national distress in a period of profound peace, and that of considerable duration, na turally excited our surprise, and has driven as frequently to express our feelings and distresses in Petitions to both Houses of Parliament, for inquiry and redress; these our Petitions have been. presented in vain, and despairing of any relief,. either from the adoption of measures of public economy, or from the reduction of taxation, under t he - intluence of your Majesty's present advisers, we naturally fecar to • practice adopted in the best periods of our history, and beg leave re • spectfully to submit our opinion to your Majesty, that your present Ministers have lost the -confid nee of the people, and can no longer be useful or effective advisers of the Crown. We feel an unwillingness unnecessarily to enter into the consideration of subjects connected with any domestic ar rangement in your Majesty's Illustrious Family ; but when, in the. person of the Carmen of England, an attack has been made, under the sanction of your Ministers, upon all those principles of justice to which the meanest of your Majesty's subjects louk up for support and defence, it adds force to our opinion of the necessity of a change in your Majesty's Coun- cils. We, therefore, intreat your Majesty to remove from your confidence those whose advice can be no longer serviceable to your Majesty, or beneficial to you Tir people. 46 los. BURGES, Sheriff." The Earl Frrzwit.ttam seconded the Address in a brief speech, in which he commented with great severity upon the conduct of the Adminis tration, particularly in their unconstitutional in crease of 12,000 men to the standing army, and that he believed there would be disaffection as long as they continued. Mr. FORDHAM, jun. agreed with the . Address, and commented at great length and with much ability, on the prosecution of the Queen—a pro secution to which the established clergy had lent their assistance—a prosecution in which the Prosecutors were also Judges and Jurors. Would it not ; said be, be considered as a mockery of jus- was . , . Lice, if a' private `I,Vho conceived lie had cause of complaint against another,. was to Sit down;. and by ptitting. on a large wig and - black gown', a.Sstitne to giiejtidgnient, and pro; ceed to execution against . his Offending rival Would nOtthiSbe'considerd a Mockery bf justice Yet against this had her Majesty to contend, and over which did our Noble Queen_ triumph, and hag covered her enemies. With ,disgrace, and confusion—who dare. not noel thew themselVes in the face of the country; but slink into holes ; and corners.--(Laughter and applause.)—Tbe Queen, -by her triumph; has ; consummated the triumph of the People and the triumph of tlia Press. The Hon. Gentleman then alluded td the Manchester affair, .WhiCh, .said, aldne r Ought to have Tailed up every voice in the coml. , try, where the unoffending people, who had as; sembled to complain of their kri . eva;ices, were trampled Under the feet of the horse's; and fOl before the sabre of the Soldier: He app_rehentl:; ed, hoWever, no effectual hdvantage would be likely to result from a mere change of men With. but a change of measures. It Would import init little were Lord B. substituted for. Lord C: „Rea. form is every thing. It was' Lord Chathant'S dying legacyi and \% illiam Pitt hiniself said; that without Reform no-Minister Could remain honest. ---(ApplaUse.)---He then alluded to the Revolu tions in Spain and , Portugab and -moved 'a Reso lution that no effectual relief could be afforded but by a Reform in Parliament. The SHERIFF observed, that the High Sheriff felt IliThiOUS that the utmost latitude. should be given to discussion ; yet in the situation in which he stoodi and trammelled as he must say he felt by the recent Acts of Parliament, he could not put the Reiolution to the Meeting, as the subject was not mentioned in the Requisition. • Mr. MEREST, in a speech of peculiar force and elegance, supported the Address. The Rev. Mr. MABEttLy rose to move an Amendment to the Address. He was an admirer of the female character, and he loved his Sove reign and regarded liberty as his life ; he was then ready to sacrifice that life and his property IA defence of his King ; but he could not con, scientiously join in expressions of attachment to one who had attempted to degrade the female character. He then went at considerable length into the merits of the Queen's 'case, as also the diStresSeS of the Country, and the six restrictive Acts', and concluded by moving, as an Amend ment, an Address which be held in his hand, commencing with the abhorrence and disgust that. was excited by the conduct of the King and his Majesty's Ministers.—(Much Clamour.) . The SHERIFF said 1, .felit an awful responsibi lity attached to him. He was the officer of the King, and he could not suffer the name of his Sovereign to be insulted in his presence. Baip“ LITTLE opposed the Address, and eulogised the conduct of Ministers, Who had sustained' the country through a long and arduous war. Ire thought their conduct at the passing of the Regency Act, by the limitations of which the Prince was precluded from trenching on the rights of the crown or the people—(hisses, and much' clamour)-- The SHERIFF repeatedly begged that every Gentleman n ight be fairly heard, as it was the only way of coming at the truth, and' as consci; nant with the manliness and candour of English- Mrb LITTLE felt convinced, that the greatest portion of the distress felt by the farmers was attributable to the fraudulent mode by which the averages had been taken —(applatte),---.-= but which it was impossible for the'Ministers to pre vent ; they had done every thing within their power for the support of the Corn,Bill, though at the hazard of having their houses burnt about their ears; He could have no sort of interest itt the Address, save what he felt for his country ; he expected nothing from Ministers ; but he con sidered, that every man who held up his 'hand for the Petition would hold up his band against his Sovereign—,(laughter and much hissing). Mr. WELLS called Mr:LITTLE to order. The Address was then put, and declared by the Sheriff to be carried by an immense majority. • Mr. P. Pym (son to the Member for Bedford shire) moved a Vote of Thanks to Lord FranCls G. Osborne, for his upright, Manly parliamen tary conduct, particularly in the case of the Queen. • . Mr. G. TOWNLEY, jun., seconded the motion, which was carried by acclamation. Sir G. LEEDS moved that the Address be pre sented to-his Majesty by the Lord Lieutenant of the County, together with the County Members. Mr. PYM seconded the motion, which.,was. car- tied nem. con.
