vetted with warmth on the laying new taw on
the pettple. " They asked for bread," said the
Honourable Alranber, " and they have been
given a stone." He rebutted the insbouat that
Mr. Fox was nett an advocate of 'Reform, and
glinted his speech on that subject in the year
1197, in which he complained that the [louse
felt a weakness bordering on dissolution, and
was strong only in principles of corruption.
The Honourable Alderman then alluded to the
great disproportion in the repreerntatim• of Corn-
wall, and cennpliined of the total want of re-
presentation in Birmingham, and other large
towns, and of the limitations on the eujoyinent of
the elctive francise in the City of London.—

in favour of Reform. such as Mr. Locke, Lord Ray-
Mond, Mr. Fox, and even the vaunted staiesmen,
Mr. Pitt. Mr. Burke, too, had expressed himself
very decidedly inlfavour of the olecemity of Reform,
though he seemed to irenolsle at it as it approached.

from the circumstance's that had occurred during
