then come to hike their persons, and make them
liable to indignities; I think it is a little more than
this nation will bear ( Loud appla,sses). Gentle-
men, I shall conclude with begging every one to
tear in mind, that there can be but one measure
that coo give relief to the people, for without the
reform of the representation of the people, all other
measures are trifling and nugatory. There is one
measure, which, undoubtedly, I hope soon to have
the honour or bringing before the House, as soot,
as all the necessary papers are obtained.—l mean
the great question of what are called the Admiralty
Dreier, because I do think it highly important to
determine, whether the millions that arise from
them, belong to the King or to the People ?• l'er-
Lament may determine as they please, let them
give their decision in any way, but that decision
shall certainly demand on the part of the I,,nblic.
(More applause.) Gentlemen, the first principle
which recommended me to your notice, was en
early avowal of tity sentiments, with r, spect to a re-
form in Parliament. That is still the grand object
I would wish to keep in view, sod not to be misled
in it from minor considerations. That alone,
without stay expensive commission,, without any
of these nugatory pioeeetlings we have lately
witnessed, would suppress all peculators, and in-
troduce ecunomy into the public expenditure.—
(dipplauses)—The want of that reform is the real
source of all our evils and misfortunes, and it is
the want of it which prevents t yen the virtuous anti
beesourable man, if each a nem was ever appointed
to the office of &Shiites., from doing good to his
country. It is my real persuasion, that that is the
source from which all those Litter poisoned waters
Sow, that destroy the silver spring which England
drinks. and is the cause of all the evils we feel.—
That war the cause of the unfortunate war ir, which
we areengliged. and will be the-final cause of the
subjugation of the country."
Loud and reiterated .applanses immediately
lowed the tonclusiou of Sir Francis's speech ; and
after several toasts and songs,
Mr. SWUM, one of the Committee, addressed
the Electors, in return for the honour done them
by their health' being proposed.
Mr. RICHTER., one of the Committee, then read
• long report of their motives and proceedittes, and
a statement of their disbursements, by which it ap-
peared there was due to the trttustner the sum of
1171. I3s. Scl. en account of the Election.
On Mr. JENIMIG.ii health being drank, he re-
turned thanks in ati eloquent speech, is which be
particularly complained of the grievances likely to
be occasioned to the public by the Indictment Bill,
and called npon them to petition l'arliament
against it.
