heir character was that of peace, order, and unanin►its He had certainly sta . ed Ow. it might ka a proper cours for that House to pm sue to stop the anapli a, but was tho being revolutionary ?—(H ar.) He would maintain Or it was c mstituronal, and however he might reeret th necessity for such course, }et circumstances might happ.•: Which would render it proper.—(Fleur.) If the Hap Member had looked to the meetings held at Newest! and other places, he would find that stronz• r languag , still was used than any that fell from him. The Honour able Member hail talked of dens :gogues and incendiaries but who, he would ask, were the incendiaries? Thos Who drove the people to ntadzesa by their obstinacy, of those who sought to remove the cause of the irritatio, Which existed in the public mind?--(Cheers.) He (Mr.: Rome) would retort on the lion. Meo;ber, and those wio adopted the same line of conduct that he pursued, the tern incendiaries. For his own part, he gloried in the la.. meetings, for be gloried in seeing the country united it. sentiment upon this question, and calling upon their Re, Presentatives, if such an Administration as was threatened should be inflicted on the country, to stop the supplies.— (Hear, hear.) The people had carried their object- by the power of moral force; and if any one thing could Is more ungrateful than another to the feelings of the Hon. Member, and of the other opponents of Reform, it must be the bitter disappointment at finding that the peopl, were not to be goaded into riot and outrage. The peo ple, however, would use only their reason and their judg• aunt, and had shown that they were worthy of their rights, and the means they had taken to obtain them.—( Hear. hear.) With respect to what had been said about the ex pressions he had used at the meeting, he would just say that he had been informed, while at the meeting, that troo,.s Were coming towards the metropolis, and, coupling the. with the supposed fact that the Duke of Wellington was Minister, it was not very surprising that he should have inferred as he did, and that he should have said that the people of England would never submit to be slaves, which they would be in all respects if they sub pitted to a military Government.--(Hear, hear.) He would always act upon the sentiments which he then professed, and lie hoped that he should live and die a free man. He had also alluded to the consequences to Europe of the change in the Administration, and he believed he had good reason to congratulate all Europe upon the turn which events had Just taken—(hear, hear)—for Europe was looking to England, and if the latter submitted to a military Go. Yernment, the hopes of freedom in France, Belgium, and other countries, would be materially depressed. He had reason, therefore, to congratulate the whole civilized worl I that the yoke which threatened them had been thrown tilt England for the last century had been under the dominion of a monopolizing oligarchy, and it now appeared that though the King was anxious to comply with the wishes of the people, yet be was dictated to by people who looked only to their own advent ige. The Hon. Member might think as he pleased about the Reform Bill, but the conces sion of it would cause the King to live in the hearts of his !uhj'cts, and he trusted the latter would soon have the happiness of seeing it become the law of the land. —(Cheers. ) Mr. G. BANKES said that the Hon. Member might talk about slavery as he pleased, hut he would tell him there was no shivery more base than that which truckled to motility.—(Hear, from the Opposition.) There was c 'ne part of the charge of the Hon. Member for Dundalk which the Hon. Member for Middlesex shrunk from answer tk•--( Hear.) He meant that part which alluded to the ' ll 'n• Member's attack upon an Illustrious Female.— iftr Majesty had reaped the benefit of his attack ; for she 14 4(1 that very day, while riding in her carriage, been grossly insulted by an infuriates mob.—(Much cheering f r° l ll the Opposition.) The lion. Member said that the 6 PPonents of Reiorrn were disappointed because the People had not broken out into outrage and violence. If, indeed, they could he gratified by the occurrence of such outrages, they had ample reason to be gratified by coupline the ourages that day with the insult to a Rev. Prelate a few days back.—(Hear.) The Hon. Member far Mid dlesex was not alone to blame for this, for it would be in the recollection of the House that on the very same night an Hon. Member on the Ministerial nide of the Heusi., had, by name, insulted two Princes of the Royal family ; and the Hon. Baronet, the Member for Westminster, had similarly insulted e Judge of the land, to whom was in trusted, by his Majesty, a most important mission. The Hon. Member (Mr. Batik es) then proceeded to contend that there was no similarity whatever between the resignation of the present Ministers and that of the Mi nistry of the Duke of Wellington. When he also heard the Noble Lord, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, speak °I some dreartful disclosures which it was in his power to *take, as to changes of opinion upon important topics, he t hought that the Noble Lord might indeed tell of some qtraordinary changes connected with the counselling of tech measures as had been adopted by tl.e present Mi. tii 'oty. With respect to what had been said by the Hon Member for Middlesex, :is to the reported movement of 11 : t 'oes, he believed that no such movement took place at 4 ' l , but, if it did, it was clear it could not have been com• tended by the Duke of Wellington. Lord ALTHORP said that, in the few words which he ned to say, be should not imitate the tone and temper of the Hon. Member; hut he was compelled to say a few words, in reply to what he conceived to be an attack on the Government. The Hon. Member had, most cer tainly, a right to make that attack if he chose ; but, in reply, he would say that whenever the advice which the Ministry thought it right to give to their Sovereign was properly called in question, th. y would be prepared to de feat 1 it ; but the present was not the time. With respect to the resignation of Ministers, he confessed that he could not understand the constitutional doctrine laid down by th e Hon. Member, that such resignation amounted to a threat to the King.—(Hear.) He thought it ina• possible for him to avoid making these few observations ape's what had be en sa id , but - he should go no further into the discussion upon that occmsion.—(Heir, hear.) NEWSPAPER PRESS. Lord STORMONT gave notice that it was his inten fion, on Monday next, to bring forward a motion, with a view to cell on his Majesty's. Attorney-Gener a l to state what steps he bad taken to prosecute, or what course he meant to pursue, relative to the libellous and treasonabl e articles which had appeared in the papers during the last r. ew days. He wished to learn whether it was the inten tion of the Government to allow such treasonable matter against his Majesty, and also against her Majesty—a de fenceless woman —to go unpunished, while the Law Offi cers of the Crown sat idly with their hands before them, or whether actions bad beon commenced against the au thors of such wicked, libellous, and treasonable produc iPms•—(Hear, hear, front the Opposition.) Mr, G. LAMBF. said, that there had been no move. stem of troops, such as had been spoken of by the Hon. Member for Middlesex ; and even if there hid been, no unsure could be imputed to the Duke of Wellington, for, Wader the circumstances, lie could have had nothing to do With it. With respect to the notice given by the Noble Lord relative to the articles in the newspapers, he would l ay that, under the e,rcionetances, Ministers did not feel themselves in a situation to think of commencing prosecu tlo,3 which, if necessary at all, they thought would be r t t , t c're Properly left to their successors, whoever they might ti e-- (Rear, hear.) He did not know what publications 'e Noble Lord alluded to, but it was a que•tion whether they would not g i ve more weight i n t h e pu bli c m i n d to ote tharticles by conitnencing prosecutions, than by treat thg ; ern with indifference. He trusted that, now that ee People would be satisfied in their wishes, there would ° _lllor necessity for any such interference. 5 . A TRP OR complained of the manner in which the Hon. Member for :Middlesex had held up to obloquy the first persenege in the l realm and the first sex in the reunt r Y.—(A laugh, L ) He cared not for the sneers of on . Members , but nothing could be more blameable than thus holdin to publi c o di um th e fi rs t of h e r s ex. "4 di d not ▪ ministeil believe th a t t h ere was any i nstance i n hi story 'airing resigned merely because the Gown did lot n t ettnetitm a creatiou of 60 Peers for a political object. • ti. e ._ v e er could h ear , without time utmost indignation, such f _ nut a s th ose that were uttered by the Hon. Member Middl-aex. HUME—I admit them all. tD Mr. TREVOR said he blushed to see the day when such a vowal was made by a Member of the British House of L:°t x"nens. For his own part he woeld sooner be torn ,: am b from limb by a Lond on ra bbl e than degrade himself l ' lnt erine such unmanly sentiments. Mr. SHAW said that the country owed a deep debt 'f gratitude to the Duke of Wellington for the course te had p ursued. Was there any be i ng who could pos ablyt'uOPose• that the Noble Duke would accept office personal. motives ? He contended that the question ''Reform sunk into utter innificance compared with 11 , tit which presented itself to the mind of the Duke ' t Wellington. That question was whether the two 'state s of the !calm should he overturned and de -I,.Need by the clamo ur of t hi s House. It was a ques t: whether a deluge w as to sake place wh i c h s h ou ld I vitn ,el , away all the instituti ons of the couutry, toget h er 14the throne of the S overe i gn. —(Cheers from the Position side.) He deeply deplored that persons were 4,1 who degraded their high stat i on by ministering to re very worst passions of the multitude. Within the : 144 , 1 aw days a Noble Lord residing near Li verpool held V ., King as a des-rter from the cause o f t h e peop l e. re ° l'ktalv declared that he would much rath er pre f er a e th e d i in name and effect, to one in substance, under Itliae of a monarchy. What, however, he wished to be understood wa4, that he was as unwilling to b:2,;. ie neck to a democratic as to a military despotism. Colonel SIBTHORPE vompLiined that Ministers h,, , iven no explanation as to the. mode by which the R:forir Sill was to he carried. Lim! NEWARK, after arivertiln to the tran•actio "tat had recently taken place with regard to tire Refori pestion, said he might appr•'priarely quote the folowin, .fines of the poet in reference• to them : " Behold the hall where ChisVs were late convened, 0 dome displeasing unto British eye! With diadem bight Fool's Cm, lo! a fiend, A little fiend, that laughs incessantly, There sits in parchment to be arras'd, and by His side is hung a seal and sable scroll, Where l:laz in'd glow names known to chivalry, And sundry signatures adorn the scroll, Whereat the tirchin:ioints, and laughs with all hissoul! Convention is the dwarfish demon styl'd That f til'd the Knights in Marialva's dome: Of brains (if brains they had; , he them beguil'd, And turn'd a nation's early joy to gloom ! For chiefs like these in vain may laurels bloom." Th e N..bele Lord then made some observation* with regard to the impatience of the public mind for the speedy tdjustment of the question, and said that they had hitherto preserved tranquillity from conviction the people en tertained that that House was determined to dolts duty. - - Lord W. LENNOX said, at this momentous crisis, ,when the country looked alone with confidence upon the House of Commons to support their rights and liberties, he felt it to be the imperative duty of every individua' fearlessly an , l firmly to avow his sentiments. He would not have obtruded upon the House had he not been dis appointed this evening in presenting a petition from a most numerous and respectable body of the inhabitants of King's Lynn, who express their satisfaction at the sec mll mf his Majesty's late Ministers, and who call upon time House to support those patriotic Ministers in carrying the measure of Reform. In the prayer of the petition he en tire'y eminent red, and until he had an opportunity of pre senting it he would merely confine himself to saying that. o the unmutilated Bill of Reform he would continue to give his most uncompromising support. The c"nversation then dropped. THE KING'S ANSWER TO THE ADDRESS. Mr. J. CAMPBELL wished to know whether his Majesty's answer to the address of that House might not be expected to he received on M-nday. Lord ALTHORP ssi.l that the a:Wm...B had been pre .ented to the Kng ; and the only reason why an answer had not been returned before wa•, that his Mtjesty was at the time without constitutional trivi--rs; his Majesty, however, now had constitutional advisers, and the answer might be expected on Mand.ty. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. In the course of some conversation as to whether peti tions should take precedence of the orders of the day— Mr. HUNT said that his constituents had sent him several petitions, praying the House to stop the supplies till the Reform Bill was passed. Lord ALTHORY ', that prob tidy the Hon. Gentle man's constituents wou d a ter their minds under the present altered state of circumstances. • Mr. Alderman WOOD said he had a treat many peti does of a similar nature to present, and he would iay them on the table on Monday next, without making any ob servations. The other orders of the day having been successively disposed of, several petitions were presented, praying that the House should refuse to grant further supplies until the Reform Bill had pasaed into a law. The Hause adjourned, at a quarter past nine o'clock ; until Monday next. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE, WAR-OFFICE, MAT 19. 2d Regiment of Dragoon,—Lieut. St. Vincent W.

A public meet;ng o , the inbabi , auts of Devizes and its vicinity xvas on Tuesday last held in the Long Room of the Bear Inn, for the purpose of agreeing to an address to his Majesty, and a petition to the House of Commons, on the delay of the Moira Bill, and the resignation of his Ma jesty'. Ministers. The room was entirely tilled, and all present appeared enthusiastic in the cause fur which they had assembled. Mr. LOCKE having been unanimously called to the chair, and having stated the objects of the meeting, ex pressed his deep regtet at the necessity of their thus as sembling together. He had hoped that, ere this, they would have been enab ell to meet under very different aus pices—to congratulate each other on the final success of a measure they all held nearest their hearts. He could not have contemp'ated that that measure—introduced (as it was) by a most enlightened Ministry, sanctioned by hi. M jesty, approved and appl.uded by the people, and which had twice passed the House of Commons by large maj would have been defeated by a faction in the House of Peers. Let u• not, however, (said Mr. Locke)despair ; if the people be united and determined—steadily and tem perately deterinin-al, it will not be in the power of any faction, even though led on and manoeuvred by the great Captain of the age, to prevent the people of this land from ultimately obtaining their just rights. After some further observations, Mr. Locke entreated a fair hearing for every one, who felt disposed to address the meeting, and sat down amid loud cheers. Mr. C. L. Putters, in moving the first resolution (for which see advertisement) briefly adverted to the cause which had led Ecri Grey to resign office, but expressed his conviction that he would speedily return ; for however well c ilculated (said Mr. Phipps) the great Captain, who was stated to be the present Premier, might he to conf ound an army, anti he would not detract from his merits in that respect, he was totally unfit to preside over the councils of a great and a free country.—(Cheers.) Mr. CARTWRIGHT sp.tke nearly as follows :—I assure you, Sir, that up to the present period, politics have had but a mad share of my attention ; but at this moment, such is the extraordinary aspect of public affairs, that I think every man who calls himself an Englishman—every man, whoever he may be, is required to utter his voice, and brace up his spirit, in order to resist what I cannot help describing as a conspiracy —surely, the foulest, and the meanest that has ever existed, against the rights and privileges of our native country. In the resolution which I have the honour to second, and the addresses to his Ma jesty and the house of Commons, which will be read, I heartily concur ; they appear to embody, temperately and dispassionately, what ought to be said by a patient, though disappointed people, to a King whom they love, anti who, they are grieved to see, has been led astray ; and also to a House of Commons, who have minfully fought the battles of their constituents ; anti I assure you, I rejoiee in being perstiadettl they will nut shrink from the people's cause until they have established the people's rights in the reform of that Constitution which has been so sullied by the venial tread of the holders of, and traders in, what we moat justly describe as rotten boroughs. I smile at the last argument which sonic of the Peers have used against this Bill. They tell us that all the literature of the nation is opposed to Reform and Reformers; they kindly allow a small por tion of intellectual capacity to the learned professions, a little more to the heads of coLeg s , and then a modicum to the Church ; but the mass of it is divided amongst the high-minded, incorruptible, and gloriously patriotic as sembly, where sits my Lord Vane Londonderry—Ellen borough—and that paragon of quirk—Deed Lyndhurst. But let us tell them, that literature is not always found in company with sound sense : that theory is sometimes not fact, and that intellect has not lost its quickness, though it may never wander into the mazes of the schools, nor have lien taught to consider the worse as the better reason, be cause it hanens to lie in the road to the fulfilment or an unworthy purpose. Sir, there is sane word i n thi s restelo tion which 1 like, it is integr ity. _ Were Ito name the highest principle in man, it should be by this term. Is there any thing so noble? Could I worship any thing in human lorm, it would be the man who, by an undeviats ing curse of integrity, convinced me that neither fame or ambition, wealth, honour, or pleasure —no, not even life itself, should weigh more than the dust of the balance against the approval of an enlightened conscience. To such men we must look—to men of principle only. Let their talents be less—honesty is better than talent, if we cannot have them united. I grieve to think we have lost such ; and almost &spiting as I do to find any fitted, or worthy to succeed them, I do hope his Majesty will call them back to hit counsels, and thus erect to himself a throne in every une of our hearts. Mr. Scorn said, it had fallen unexpectedly on him, to move the second resolution, a tabk, which he should re 'pecifully have declined, for want of notice and some lit tle preparation, as he thought that no man ought to ad- Iresa such a meeting as the present without some pre imts ; but believing, as he did, that in tbs. -solution he was about to propose, all present won! •st•ree, he accepted the duty imposed upon him with th , sss hesitation. That resolution is, that ‘• the that.ks of this testing be given to Earl Grey and his colleagues." He .ed not say much t.) a 'meting, 4s well aware as he. wa 'iimse!f of the peculiar merits of the n bleman whom ht. n common with a great majority of the people of Eng regre.ted to call our late minister. Of his splendi.' ability he had given numerous and recent proofs; but ht lttsst-ssed a Quality still more pr;zs , d by Englishmen solitical and private integrity. He then referred to the eriod when his Lirdship hat retire:l from office blmaust e was sot at liberty to bring forward the Citholit I .4u. , stion as a Government measure; spoke in terms o' sigh praise of the manner in which he had recently ac, . . . ,epred office, bargaining for nothing sordid nr selfish, but iiisiaring on the Reform of the House of Commons to gra trfy and accomplish the first and ardent wish of the peo ale ; and of his retiring, when he found his intention• Frustrated, with untarnished honour. He then asked into whose care the new-born bane `• Reform," was about to be delivered ? Into the hard hands of a parisl nurse, who would just give it barely sustenance enough to keep it in existence. He had heard many persons, for chose opinions he felt respect, object to Lord G►ey's drop.rsal to carry the Bill by a large creation of P-ers, on the ground that what was now done for a good, might at a future period be done for a bad purpose. Those oersons forgot that no Mrnister,however profligateor daring. could carry a measure, against which the people of Eng land 'elt an almost unanimous obj'•ction. What gave Lord Grey and his coadjutors their main support at this nut ineot ? The ardent wishes end indotnitattle spirit of that very people. Would that people show less firmn ss or courage should a military adventurer attempt, by a similar measure to defeat the wishes or oppose the interests of English men ? He next observed, that the corintry had been rid den by a Tory Administration (except for a abort period in 1806), for more than half a century ; the consequence was, that' nearly the whole of the Peers created during that long period, were themselves Tories ; at first obedient sery tuts of their makers, and then a power ful band, leagued toge- ther by a common tie, for the purpose of keeping down the people, and dictating to their S ivereigns. It had now be come necessary to introduce a large body of Peers, he hoped not fewer than 100, with different feelings, objects, and interests, to restore the balance of the Constitution, gran. the people their just demanle, and give to the Sovereign his full proportion of power and weight in the state. Mr. Scott next adverted to the measures taken by the party now seeking office. Their great leader (would to God that he had confined his eff n •ts to that prof; ssion in which he had been distinguished above all o. hers of his contem poraries !) After having declared his aversion to all Reform, having protested against the measure as subversive of the Monarchy. was now endeavouri -g to form an Administra tion, under the banner of Reform. As yet he had not been able to recruit a man even from the mercenaries of all parties, and he hoped that no man would ever be found to accept office under him. The doing so would he a fatal hlo vto the characters of public men, ior who could rru•t persons, that out of office opp , sed a measure, which in offitte they would promise to carry with undiminished efficacy? He agreed with a previous speaker that integrity in public or private men, was a quality more prized by Etta irci than talent, and was curt tin that the country would not accept even the boon of Reform, from any trrn whom they must consider as d.ficient in this indispensable requisite. He next defied any man to si.y that tl.e inte erity of Lord Grey had ever, Even by a whisper, been inn peached ; every act of his life was unsullied, and impatient as the country had recently been for the creation of Peers, they waited m silence, but confidently, for the moment when Lord Grey would resort to that measure, because I e l•ad pledged himself that he would Jo S) when h e found it necessary. He then added, that when he named Lord Grey, he meant, as the resolution did, to include the whole of the late Administration in the proposed thanks, because they had all perlOrmed their Farts with ability, honesty, and firmness. For Lord Lan.downe, the Chan oiler, and L..rd Durham, be personally entertained the highest respect ; but as in the case of great battles. thanks were by name given to the Commanders in Chief, although all may hive equally done their duty, he had confined him self to the name of Earl Grey, while from his heart he thanked, as he hoped this meeting would equally do, the other members of the Cabinet.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. HUGHES observed—it had been truly said, that no one ought to peseta himself to such a meeting as the pre sent, at such a crisis, without p.eparation. He should, thereore, have felt come apology on his pirt necessary, vs he had but that instant been called upon to take part in the proe•edin:4s of the (fay; hut, that in seconding and supp oling tbo r e solution which hod lust been proposed. he telt he did no more than every Englishman, every one who veneratql the rights and liberties of his country, would readily anti cheerully do. The people owed a de- , of gratitude to the late (and sorry he was to be obliged to call it late) Adminiqtratio”, for the great exertions it had made in their behalf; and it became them as honest men to express their sense of gratitude. He confessed he was glad that he had been ca led upon, for it gave him an op portunity of thus publicly avowing himself a sincere and a stanch Reformer; and he heartily supported the motion.—(Ch,:ers.) Dr. BRA HA NT said—lf evr r there was a period in which it is ir:cumbent on every man, unshrinkingly to avow hi., principles, such a period is now arrived—arid therefore, though retirement is more coneenial to my taste, and to any habits, I do nut hesitate to stand forward in defence or _ . the sacred taus- i❑ which we are now asscmh!ed. It it a duty we owe to our forefathers—to the Sidnrye and Rus sells and Hunpdens, from whom we have derived the free dom we enjoy ; it is a duty we owe to a spmpatbizing na tion of out contemporaries ; it is a duty we owe to our vosterity, who, except the nation's efforts prevail, will have to how their necks under a military despotism. Placed on the veige of a contest, the issue of which no nun knows, it is right to survey well the ground on which we stand. " He is thrice arrn'd who bath his quarrel just." The British nation. from one extremity to the other, claims a reform in the representation. It does not a-k it as a boon, it demands it as a right :—it demands it first as a natut al right. The powers of mind and body which God has graciou-ly bestowed on the individuals of our species, are each man's own property; his eyes, his limbs, his thoughts, are his own ; and if his faculties are his own, the pr perry he gains in the fdr exercise of those faculties is also his own ; ro other individual of his species has or ran have a right to a single particle of it. It he chooses to exchange any part of the property so acquired. in pur chase of the necessaries or comforts of life, he claims the right to make the contract himself ; if he gives up a por tion of it to purchase civil protection, he has the same un doubted right to lay out his money to the best of his judg ment ; and in case where it is impossiile for him to do it himself, and in his own person, he has a right to send a representative to see that the contract is duly made, and duly fulfilled. But further, the British nation claims a reform in the represea ation as a social right. Every association, every community. h is an unquestionable right to such laws, and such institutions, as the majority ap prove. A nation is but a large community, and surely it will be conceded that the majority of those who pay the t ,xes, claim a change in the representation. But the British nation his a constitu:ional right to a reform in the representation —tor it is an undisputed principle of the constitution, that they who are taxed, shall also he repre sented. Once more: it is an admitted right—admitted twice by the act of the House of Commons, and admitted in pt inciple, however rf luctantly, by the Lords. Let us now survey, briefly, the conduct of name Lords who have frustrated the objects of the Common., and disappointed the hopes of the nation. First, then, their conduct i• pl,inly unjust. It is in open defiance of the rights of the people. Secondly, it is unconstitutional. In proof of this, it will be enough if I read the resolutions entered on the journals at the commencement of every session t Toat no Peer bath any right to give his vote in any election of Members to serve in Parliament ; and that it is a high infi ingement upon the liberties and privileges of the Cannions of Gre it Britain, for any Lord of P alla ment, or any Lord Lieutenant of any county, to concern themselves in the elealion of Members to serve for the Commons in Parliament." The conduct of the Peers is trogratetul to a nation from whom they derive their dizni ties and privileges. The King derives his d gnity and power from the people; and so by parity of reasonine d o the Peers. I remember the time when men were found who still talked of the " divine right of Kings;' but every one now knows, that if a divine right be a:needed to Kings, it must be conceded also to Popes, in quisitors, pirates, to all who, by whatever means, have possessed themselves of power. The conduct of the Peers is impolitic. Many of us remember, and all have heard of the French revolution. Those who are solicitous to d e c e ive, are accustom e d to cite the French revolution, as an instance of the calamities resulting from the difftision of liberal principles. If I know any thing of the !natter, and I do not speak without having examined the subject, the French revolution, with all its horrors and atrocities, had its origin in the injustice, rapacity, and oppression of the • Government, and especially of an insolent peerage It was, indeed, the perception of this injustice, and the re sentment thus excited in a wronged and imsulted people, which led to the French revolution. The Anti-Reformers tell us, in excuse for adhering to the present system, that it works well, Those who wish to see how well it works, must look back to the history of the last sixty years, f the two ruinous wars in which we have been engage,/ elle most iniquitous in its principle, the other at its corn .nencement, to say the leaf.', very doubtful in justice tecereity. Those who wish re know how well the system .corks, should look to the hundreds of millions paid t civil and military officers during those wars; and also t. he Extraordinary Bleck Rrok. But the Anti Reformer tell us, that the nation has risen to great wealth an , power under the present systom : the plain truth is, tie. the British people are the most informed, the most moral Ind the most industrious people on earth ; the ineeneii i end industry of oer artisans, and the integrity of our mer chants, have conspired to.elevate the nation to opulence and thus enabled it to bear up under an unexampled low' rl taxation Those who fill their own purses, directly 0 indirectly, from the public revenue, and it would be diffi cult to count their number, are all mightily attached to the present system. "Itis a model of perfection." Thsii ideas of good Government corre.pund pretty exactly weth the ideas of good government entertained and put it, practice by the eon eras of Lincolnshire. A gezzard of Lincolnshire plucks his flock of five hundred or a thousand tzeese five times e-year, and nurses tirs in with great tender ness and care, that he may continue to carry on his system of plucking. So there are many arist .ctats. who are en. tirely of opinion, that the first object of eood government is to pluck, and the second to protect, that they m ry con tinue to pluck. I will conclude by observing, that the fare of the nation is, at •his moment, dependent on the cool and constitutional but determined conduct of the people. I cannot read without emotion that two hundred thoueanif men in one assembly solemly engage, " w.th unbroken faith, through p-ril and through privation, evote themselves and their chihhen to their c..untry'e cause." I hope and trust that the same feeling ani it.ates every breast in this assembly.—(Dr. Brabant sat down amid loud and repeated bursts of appl lose.) Mr. MONTAGUE GORE, amid reiterated cheers, stele to the followine effect : Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, on rising to address you on the present occtsiou I feel deeply the urgency of the crisis in which we are placed, an I my own inability to do justice to the resolution which has /teen intrusted te me. "%V are met here as English men, to deliberate an the measures which it behoves us to adopt at a moment fraught with importance to the vital interests and welfare of our country; and I trust that in the remarks I am about tai address to you, I shall meet with rhat induigence which I :may claim, if not for the cor• rectness, at least fur the sincerity of my views. I stand taut here to flatter your prejudices, but to censu't your tn t rests—the country's interests, and to advocate the prin ciples of jitatire and of truth. In the resolution lam about to submit to you, a great constitutional question will be put to the test; for the resolution is, that you should petition the House of Commons, and by so doing avert from the country the catastrophe that now impends over it. Now it has often heen stated, both in speeches atol writings, that the House of Centurion., is the safely-velve through which, in times of public excitement, the feelings of the nation may find a safe and secure vent; and it lets erer been considered as not the least of the many advan tages which we enjoy under the consti ution of this re elm. Linerly may by the H :useof Cormrions he preserved secure from despotism on the one hand, or popular lieentieueness on the other. To that House, then, it is proposed that we should address our petition, and that we should request it "to withhold the supplies." The withholdieg supplies is unquestionably a strong measure, and nothing but imperious necessity could justify you in peitionieg the House of Commons to adopt such a measure. But to accomplish erry end, we must use means commensurate with the diffieultiei we have to encounter; and we may wish for ever, and in vain, for Reform, unleso we c u &vise the means of obtaining it.—Now 1 know m no means that could he devised, at once so efficient and so sate, as withholding the supplies. If we would succeed in obtaining the ohl•ct of our wishes, we must proceed in a legal aed constitutional method. This I maintain you trill do, by adopting the resolution I shall propo,e. The constitutional right of Englishmen to pe t,tion the legislature, no man, I presume, will he hold enough to gainsay. Such meetings as the present have been called t,y an illesttiors Duke a farce ; or rather would bay, that some underling had made the observation for him : fur, differing as I do, from his Grace in opinion. still I hold hint to be a sensible man, and no sensible man would have given utterance to so absurd a notion. We meet then to pe ition, according to our undoubted and unquestionable right as Englishmen, and we petition the House of Commons to exercise its equally undoubted rich. of withholding supplies. The right of that House to de• termine all matters relative to taxation is one of the first and must important principles of the Constituticn—one of our noblest inheritances as freeborn Englishmen ; a right which has not only been upheld by political philosophers in their writings, but has been still more boldly supported by Hampden and others in the field and in action. The advatnue of this constitutional mode of proceeding, may be illustrated in another point of view. The two Houses are in a state of collision : the Peers oppose, the Commons support the Reform Bill. How is this to end ? Are we to wait till the trade and resources of this nation wither and decay ? It la-is been proposed that this col lision should be put a st,p to by a creation of Rters.— That proposition has not been acted on ; but by withhold ing the supplies, it appears to me that the same result may be produced. In the next place I would suggest that this is the safest mode of proceeding. Under the en• thusiastn of the moment, many schemes and proj'cts have been suggested by men who, in their eaerness to obtain time end, overlook ti e prudence and wisdom of the means they suggest. There is one proposition of this nature, respecting which a diversi.y of opinion will probably exis , , amid from which, with all due deference to the judg ment of others, I must b.-g to dissent—l mean the pro posal of not paying tax s. Tfis measure I conceive to be uncalled for, and unnecessary : and that it is far preferable we should petition the House of Commons not to vot, taxe ,, , than that we should resolve not to pay them. Let us leave the battle of our liberties to be fought by our e n t , l o o n s s e . n r T ep h r: i e s se i r s it a a t ti o v n es ce % t s h a e fe a , re a n n a of the effieien Houss efficient, of C and aom consti tutional mode of proem ding. Whit we want is the Re form Bill proposed by Ead Grey. We care not from whose hands we receive it, provi .ed it be unmutilated and efficient: we look to the virtue of the measure, rather than- to the int n who may bring it forward. But be the Dli lusters who they may, we will take at their hands nu re form in which the great principles of the present urea-ur, ire not preserved unimpair. d. By what magic the King can form any new administration which should introduce such a measure, I profess not to understand ; but if by any caba:istic arts such a cabinet can he formed, I would nut •ejeet Vie Reform Bill, if oifTed by them. The Reform 13id, itself, is but a roll of p ,rchinent, and all its virtue and efficacy consists in its being the surety against misrule and corruption for ever afer. Give me this Reform Bill, and I care not who be AlLister, for it will art. the., people with such power as no Minister will be able to withstand. We ask the House, then, to with hold supplies from no particular individual, but fron. any Ministry that shall decline to bring forward a Bill of Reform equal that brught orward by Eirrey. Not only is R e for m o essential to the f w.lfare, but it l ca G n no longer be refused with safety to the State. It is, indeel, s rid by some that this wish for Reform is a feeling but ul yest-rday ; that it originated in the French and Belgic re volutions, and other temporary causes, and will speedily subside. For answer to this I will appeal to the speech or one of the Waverers, Lord Witarneliffe, who, on a recent occasion, declired, that from his a. quaintauce with th., state feeling in tile great manufacturing towns and dis tricts of the norfla of England, he felt himself authorizett to say, that the desire for Reform was no new, factitious, or momentary feeling, but had long taken deep and eiti rx.le rout in the mind, of the people of this country. And where is the mean, I will no , : wry bold, but rani. and reckless enough to contemplate unmoved, the cala mities that may ensue, unless this wish of the prop be gratified? The thee great principles of the measure brought forward by Lord Grey, are disfranchisement, err. franchisement, and extension of the constituency. But. argue the Tories, we will commence by enfranchising a certain number of places, and will then disfranchise in proportion, in order that the present number of members may not be exceeded. So that, in fact, disfrauchisetuen• is with them a matter of mere arithmetical calculation. I advocate disfranchisement not upon arithmetical calcu 'titian, but upon constttutional principles. The wort " borough" was originally used to signify any place where the populaion had assembled in greater numbers than th e county at large; and it was thought desirable that opu lent and populous places of this description should have representatives. But when the population in such places has decayed, surely they are no longer entitled to thi, right. This is the principle on which I advocate disfran chisement, without regard to the numbers of members ew way or the other. Now what we require of any Ministry is, that they must give us the disfranchisement of all close and nomination boroughi—the enfranchisement of Man chester, Birmingham, Leeds, and the other great empo riums of trade and manufactures—and an extension of the constituency. If these three great principles are obtained, e have placed the iherties and interests of the count' y ot. t sure and permanent basis; but less than these, we toil. not accept. Let ins, however, entreat you to contino peaceable; let your victory be achieved by the constitu tion, and not in its despite. When in the days of Charles the First, the nation resorted to violence, there ensued first, anarchy, then military despotism under Cromwell, which eras followed by the restoration of the old iynaety. But ' ellen James the Second was driven from the rbrone, it vas by the mere force of ;Odic opinion, by which the 'ewer of tyranny was paralysed. By public opinion, the drerties of the country were then pte-ereed, end pieced on i firm, durable, yet bloodless basis. It'you attempt to pre by force, you will grasp at fiber te but fi 1 ooprea. .ion ; you will lose your treedetn at the very e , omerit when you fondly fancy you are about to le,in it. eed ge eouthielves in the horrors of anarchy and confusion, which 'ill tore i ate only in military .ie.eot7sa t . la eonclumien, let me exhiet you to ex! ilsit •he firioneeta, the resole ion, the spit it, but at the same time the calmness and temper ahiclr is characteristic of Britone.—(Lewl e.hrers.) The Rev. Mr. Mayo priced a high eidoe . uel on the character of Eat I Grey, and in the tourer, of his observe ,ions said, that be bad keep , ntly beard his fa , her (who was at E-on with. his Lorrtship) rem-Yrk, that he was the oust honourable and upright boy in the Nihon!, fir. E. WAYLIN here rose and said he had beard with great pleasure the high eulogium which Mot been paid to the talent, and conduct of Earl Grey, and his late col leagues in office. None could be inver..tble t the indefa tigable and unwearied exertions of ,that patriotic noble man in the pursuit of the great object, he e , eeavotired to r ffect : such transcendent. tale :r:, .tad sm.+ etinesty of purpose, such exhibition of atiiliay to ettile the councils of e great nation, and especially such determined zeal with vilich he had pursued that object, amidet very species of opposition, had never, he thoualit, been displayed to a e•eater extent, by ,ny statesman in this conntry, or in the Nerld.

But by their conduct 'luring the Lilt ei4hreeta months, they hal ceased to dire:cull:l, t'reir motive, .tud they now stood unmeeked hcfere the oeople as an unprincipled faction, whose "le object was to pi - esi.e at the helm of affiire, and guide the wheels of Govern. merit, at whatever sactifi, e of principle. By the most foul and deep laid conspiracy, had they succeeded in defeating and airiving from office, tloir poittiell oppo. rents; and in so doing had allietay got the whipleind of the people in the pre-eat struggle.

You, who a few months since heaped opprobrium on the Corporation for nit yielding their opinions even to their Sovereign—would rue , forsooth wt-•'t to make it appear that the Sovereign was something more or leas than man, and would endeavour to prevent me from even alluding to his high merits. lam a Reformer from princiule, but I am for my King ! emphatically exclaimed the Captain. The milks of disapprobation here became so loud end to general, that we could not catch the remainder of his observations. The Chairman and Mr. Scott endeavoured to obtain a fair hearing for the Captain, but there was a general dis• inclination to listen to any thing in opposition Cu " with holding the supplies." Mr. LocxL: teen rose, and with much animation, said, In consequence of the allusion which C,pta4l T,yler has made to me, I fed it necessary to st,itc, that c,,oid I for one moment suppose, that my holding a cor..uis.sion in the yeomanry, or any other commission, would tn:ptive me of my rights as a citizen, either to express if,y opinions, or to support, by any means in my power, the just, rig!its of the people, I would instantly resign that commission ; but I ain persuaded that no commission held by nn, will inter iere with my endeavours to promote, by every legal and constitutional means, the attainment of those rights. I f will prreever~ , a vourable to have Reform, f o r many years y tr e . a . r t s t ( h s e ai p d ,o ll p f i r e - . Locke) brio they have done, steadily, temperately, and const , tiri inally, in their endeavours to obtain it. I hope they will not be oetrayed into any acts of violence, which it will be no less my duty, than my inclination, both as a magistrate and a yeoman, to suppress. Should the occasion unfo.-iinnately arise, 1 should not hesitate to ex , - i th rc.se p! , wers I pos. s,ss as a magistrate to premsrve the public peace, or it me ee.ary, draw my sword in support ot the -civil !newer. The motion was then put and carried, th rt the [is= ition be agreed to—there being only four ltan,s held t:;) ac ..inst it. Mr. ARMSTRONG proposed that the Ms:guess ol Lana. dowse be r. quested to Fh,asent the address to .he King, and expressed Ins hearty concurrence in the glowing eulo ium passed on that distinguished Nottlemao, in conjunc tion with his colleagues, by Mr. Scott. Witt regard to what had fallen from Dlr. Waylem, Mr. Armstrong. thought it would not be quite decor,:us to snip his M.,jesty ot his prerogative, and name his Aliiii-tet% for him; be , übinitted that they went as far as good art,' loyal , übjectd could well go, in imploring hit Atatesty to place his confi dence only in men of integrity—men who are not ruere!y o:edged, but sincerely disposed to carr,. tneaiure of Re form as efficient as that proposed by his :4.j, sty's lat nistet s ; and he appreh,n , ird that such tutu were only to be found in hit Majesty's late M , nisters Air. Armstrong expressed a hope that Mr. Wayleo, on reflection, would take the same view of the subject. Mr. WALL, in proposin.; that the proceedings of this ineeing be inserted in the Devizes Gazette; amid—lt .roulti presumption in me to trespass on your time, atter the eloquent and foicittle addresses you have heard roan some of the gentlemen who hare prceei'ed me ; but iiere is one observation connected with this resolution, which I c.innot rtfrain from rt.uciitg ; which is, th!it the ptople of this country are giev.ly ro .1 large ma jority of the public pr sa, fur tie noble and sp:riteu man aer in which it has advocated t'ue cease of Rdortn, and the rights and liberties of the peotie ; yhroiigh the same channel we will teach the secret advestra of his whether they are clothed ip petti..oatm o lav a 4-eves, or with coronets un their brads, of wicbo that the people are determincd and will have vie Ref. rai Bill. Mr. Scorr observed, that a letttte, er.titr the signs.- tote " of Argus," had appeared in Lie Staadard nexi ,aper on Saturday, in which it as ert , ed, that there had .teen a magnificent display of foe- a:et..es tt• Dev:zes to eels :if:ye Lord Grey's " betng kick'd out of tittle," In ord, r to give this the lie direatt, he thought it would be well to insert the proceedings of the day Iu that paper. A propo sition was Accordingly put from the chair to that effect; oid on a shew of hands, Mr. WALL ros, and said, ns he was one of those who help up his hand against the motion, he thought it due to ate meeting to state his reason for su doir.g. It was well known, he said, that by the inser'ion of the resolutions al •u fed to, in any piper, some profit would accrue to the Editor of that piper : he therefore subtnittad that the Editor of The Sun, who had taken so much pains, and tad incurred so much expense, in coonsiunieating the earliest intelligence all through the kiegdoin, relating to he Reform Bid, had a prior claim, and it as mare entitled their support. Besides, the object of the tnntion would !,e more fully answered, as the circultv.ion of The Sun, he conceived, was far greater than that of the Standard. end would therefore los, the medium of communicating the re solution,' to a greater portion of the perop. - Mr. ARNI,TRONG observed that by inserting the resole ohs in the Standard, We should is only holding out a ,iremium to telling lies; and from what he kt:pw of mat' ia per,. be would forfeit. his ex tlitrtle c if,. for retry adree eietnent so procured for ir, it did not ni us anoteer Argus." He therefore proposed that the resolutions be oserted in The Sun, which was put and carried unarti ,.ously, Mr. Scott having express,d his approbation.
