*Mt tlitir liven. ilts' la could not be he-ter de-
scribed, than in the %up:lent Mr. Burke, who,
tkosigh ito.grest faired to Ifeform, hail said, that
tl'ainie*ka intertl.rl as a phalanx for the people
against the crown, had, by its corruption, become
acces•ary to the croOn." They had the author'''.
of Lord Somers, who described the House of
Commons as the grand inquest of the nation, w hose
doty'it was to search Imo the corruptions of ti e
state and the raisrondurt of [moisten ; but, even in
that day, he complained that it had neglected this
duty nod he ascribed to such neglect the opines.
aions and diseoutents that existed. If then it was
the duty of Parliament to protect the people, to
redress all their grievances, and to exert itself in
the amendisig and atrengtheiong of the law, and if
instead of protection it bud manifested opposition, if
iiistead ofreilresstng grievances, ithad created them;
if, instead of amending and strengthening the law, it
had done the utmost to violate and infringe it—
Would any one contend, that it had privilege' to
prevent the complaintsof the people ; and that,
ac-
cording to the Constitution, no one could tell it of
its injustice, without risking his liberty, or, per-
haps, his life ?--(Applauxes.)—They had the °pi-
snot' of many Lawyer, that England could only he
ruined by a Parliament. Blackstone bad adopted
it from Thurlow, and set it down as a principle. It
was hardly necessary for him to go over the history
of the last forty years, to shew that the Parliament
had not Gloom its duty ; the act which they had now
committed, had been already declared by Parkas
tarot itself to be subversive of the rights and privi-
leges of the subject. The people paid taxes enough
to entitle them to the privilege of discussing the
conduct of their Representatives. If Parliament
attended to the redress of publicgrievanees—if it
looked to the conduct of His Mojesty's Ministers,
if it did justice upon the heads of public defaulters,
it tie-d not be so upprehroive of the dignity of its
character, tior so jealous of investigation, as at pre.-
sent.—(4ppltteses.) It was strange, that the
same House of Commons, which acquitted Minis.
term norm tne charge of selling writerships, should
think it necessary to take such extraordinary steps
in support of its dignity. Where was the dignity
of that Honourable House upon that occasion ?
Where was the honour and dignity of that lion.
Home, when it refused to attend to the petition! of
the people upon the disastrous and disgraceful Con-
vention of Cintra ? Where was the dignity of that
Hon. /louse in the cases of Mr. Perceval and Lord
Castlereagh, whit were charged with bartering seats
in Parliament, but whom that Honotirsilile House
thought proper not only to acquit, but to con-
Inoue in the Administration ?—(Loud applanses.)
Were they now to decide whether those were
grievances? %Vas it not singular that the very
melt who had been guilty of such shameful ac-
quittals, should now turn rmind to assert the dig-
nity of the House; that those should be the chant-
pion% of its t•liaracter, who had not only pensioned
the individual who shut the gallery against the
but who bad insulted the public by ap-
pointing him to a hiali and responsible situation,
after bring rejected by his constituents.—/Loud
apish:uses, oscaurponied with three distinct cheers.)

Such-was the }liise of Common!, which now ac-
cused the peonte of trying experiments to svK how
many insults it a ould hear, never cruisith ring what
experiments were tried upon the people, nor insults
put upon them; they called fur unanimity but
adopted the means to prevent it. When they look-
ed to the V.lllolls acts of the present adusinistra-
thin, they would be inclined to address fur their re-
moval; hut why address for their removal, they
possessed the confidence of the Howe of Com-
mons ?—(if Igitgll.)—lle quoted the authorities of
Mr. Pitt, Mr. toe, and Lord Chatham, in support
of the doctrine, that* change of Ministry would be
of no use without reform. He (lid nut mean to
(leery public men, the fault was in the system.—
(.4pplairse.)—lii their own titivate affairs they
would wish to have a containl over their servants ;
and there was 119 iteisun for being more confident
or careless in their poh ie tbllet9l:94 Without a
Reform in Parliament there was no chalice of
1144111111011 fur the country. Much had been said
of the language used to Parliament; lie could
quote instanee4, in which it was accused of ty-
ranny ; and they were now only enforcing the same
arguments that had been used before, with the ad-
dition of stranger fails to tampon them. lu looking
liver lii Records of the City he found an answer
or Mr. Pitt to an address, in winch he asserted
that Parliamentary-Reform was necessary to the
preservation of the liberties of the country. Lord
Chatham had said, that until the evils tinder a hich
the 'nipple laboured were redressed, they would
not he tranquil, eor ought they ; sod agai.i, that
it little signified whether they submitted to arbitra-
ry power in a King or in a Hoarse of Commons. Rut
all three measures were resorted to in t mist teener
of -au individual daring to ask %shellac it was right
to exclude strangers from the gallery•. Would any
aise.say• t hat it was right,?—(Cries rffno, no.) All
the pietences which had bet ii used to plunge them
into a destructive war at re renewed again, and
yet they were asked to go on, to give their confidence
to the Government, and to lie Ullilliifllol,lll 141 its
support. It was the °pinioned Mr. Fox, that Pur-
li Reform wound never be obtained, until
tile nation is general exp►essevl its sense in favour of
it. lie (Mr..W.) believed that it was the ease ; lie
advised :hem, therefore, to persevere s.dierly and
temperately, but firmly and 1111111itilly : it a 444 the
only means of saving them from a military de spo-
nom. He rePrred them to the acqiiittal of Lord
Melville, and the constant resistance to inquiries of
all' descriptions, fur the .character of the present
Government ; and concluded a ith exhorting them
to beware of the expedients that would be retorted
to. to disunite them, anti defeat their epustitutiouid
object.—(Load applusesew.)
Mr. Tuumesos then came forward, but spoke
in so low a voice. that lie was almost eidire,y inau-
dible in the place in which we stood. Hr recom-
mended to them to resist, by ever: constitutional
means, the as:411[1110nm of entail. ge by the House
of Commons.. He inveighed st 1111 l gly against ilw
Bortadi-Mongering Faction, the object of ad 14 h
was to'keep the people down, and to advance the
oberasrif plaie, pension, and plunder.

Mr. S. Dixon, void Mr. Deputy Kimble.
The .ittser msolutions were then pat and carried
in the 4ffirluative.

Mr. get% prtnietited himself, and said, that, after
the &motor. tits he had heard, it was totally eces-
fan• for loin to emit, r irta the subject at great
letg,h ; yet he thought it was nrceasary that every
Liveryman sh•'uld know his re.titiments ; they were
loose, that no body could aworme a power whicJi
the he of the country did net acknowledge. In
saying tins, he thought he had dome his duty.
The pctitirm from the Electors of Nloltllesex,
t%ros refused by the Ilonooialdr House, because it
was nut worded, or dret.s.ii tip in the proper garb.
—lle a °old ask, whether those employed were
the b st judges, or those that put them in that si-
tuation ? It ass nut his nitration to calarge on the
subject, but to prime...! to them a petition to the
House of Commons, which he read as follows :

TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMON/ OF THE UNIT-

ED RINGDON OF (BRAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND,
IN PARLIAMENT ASSLMIILED.
The bumble Address., Remonstrance, and Petition,
of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen. and Lierry of the
City of London, in Common Hull assembled, this
sth day of May, tato;

We, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, tool I.ivcry of the City
of London, ju Common Hall asaembleil, beg leave, with ft-cl-
ine of the most anxious evinctro, to present this our humble
Address, Petition, and Remonstrance; and we eareestly en-
treat your Honourable House to give to it a favourable recep-
tion for how can we hope fur tediess sod relief, if the bste
statement of the artrngst and gi 'trance.. of which we com-
plain, be rejecied also beg your Honourable lluuse
to believe, that is the language we may have occasion, and
see bulked compelled to employ, no offence is intended to
year Honourable House.

The circumatauce which most deeply afflicts us, and which
most strongly impels us at this time to approach your Ho-
nourable House is, what appears to us to bare bees, on your
part, a violation of the personal security nf the people of
the land. We humbly conceive, that, without law, and
against law, you have imprisoned two of your fellow-subjects,
and that, without a trial, witlioat a hearing, you have eon-
demised them. Law requires legal process and trial by Jury
of oar equals. Justice demands that no person shall be
Prosecutor, Juror, Judge, ■nd Executioner, iu his our
cause: We beg leave to express our couviction that this
eternal principle of immutable justice cannot be annulled by
any House of Commons—by ally King—by any Parliament
any Legislature upon earth. But it appears to us that
your Honourable House have, in the instances of Mr. John
Gale Jones and Sir Francis Burdett, assumed, accumulated,
and exercised all them offices.

We feel it a duty which we owe to you, to ourselves, to
our posterity, to state, tint, is our conception, Ibis juris•
diction is 'Wounded ; and we humbly, but firmly detlare
our 'pinkest opium the I sistenoe of this power is soy bands;
jurisdictioa nahnnwn to us, s power above the law,
and which could be enforred only by military eiokoce;a vio-
lence made manifest by the breaking open of an Englislatuasea
castle, and by the preceding and subsequent murder of
peaceable mid unuffendiii4 citizens.
Permit no humbly to gassiest., that the construction of
your M ab!e House prevros our sin prise at this con-
duct of your Uununtable House. We sill nut en►tr lain the

details, so often and so ably stated to YOU( finnourable
Howse, by which it appears, that upwards of three hundred
Members of your lion. House, in England and %Vales only,
are not elected by the People, iii auy honest sense of the
word PEPI'LI: ; hutare scut to your Honourable House
by the absolute nomination or powerful iiiflutncc of shout one
huudred sod fifty Wets and others, as averred in a Pelitiva
to your Honourable House iu the year 1791, and shich re-
mains oa your Journals uucontruverted. This is the great

coustitetiumil disease of our country. This is the true rout
of all evils, corruptions, and tippressions,•toider which we la-
boar. If it be out eradicated, the nation must perish.
In support of this our sincere couviction, we need only
►efer to the never-to-be-forgotten Vote of your Honourable
House, refusing to examine evidence uu 14 charge against.
Lord Castlereagh nod Mr. Perevval, then two of the King.
Ministers, for trafficking in sent. is your Hunoutable Howie.
We remember well, that when it was gravely averred, and
proof offered, in a Petit on which stood ou your Journals,
and the complaints thereof unrcdressed fur nsore I han twenty
years, "That mats fur Legislation in the House of Com-
mons were as notoriously routed and bought as the staudinp
for cattle at a fMr," die then lionuarahle House treated the
a►srrtiuu with affected iutlignutlon, and the Minister threa-
tened to punish the Petitioner, for presenting a scandalous
and libellous Petition. But we have lived to see a House of
Continuos avow the trate, and screen those accused of this
breach of law and tight, lweanse it has boen equally corn-
mithil by all parties, and was a practice "a. notorious as
the Situ at noun dry." At this vote, and at these practices,
sr, feel as "our ancestors would have fell," anal cannot re-
plass the exponsios of " our indignation and disgust."

Coder thew circumstances, may ste Lot be permitted to
tisk, where is yusirjust.ce, where your dignity ? Mr. Job■
Gale Jones is confined within the walls of Newgate, for an
alleged offence against yourseivetiochicli, if committed against
any other subjects of these realms, or even against the Kiln(
himself, must have Lieu adjudged by the established Rules
and Laws of the Land ! Lord Castlereagh continued to be

by a military fever from the bosom of his family, is com-
mitted lo the Tower fur exercising the right of constitutional
discussion, common, sad, tucked, undeniable to you, to us,
to all ! Mr. Spencer Perreval etmliunto a Member of your
Iloisouruble h onor, taking a lead in your deliberations, the
first Minister of the Crown, and the chief adviser of t►e

ter to the people relief and redress fo. the various disgraces
which the isati:otal honour has sustained, fin• the lamb pro-

These au,t similar proceedings of your Honourable llosile
require no moment ; but we cannot, by our silence, become
accomplices in the ruin of our comity, and dare not con-
ceal from you the wholesome, though utiplta,ant, tenth,
that they appear to W. to hive us,.tertally shake's what rc-

muhieit of the confidence of the subjects of these realms is
the wisdom of your Hanouruh'e House.
We therefore humbly, but firmly, entreat you to recon-
sider your conduct, to retrace your i.trps, nod to expunge
from your Jouruals all your orders, declarations, soil resolu-
tions, respreinig Mr. Gale thl4lel. mid Sir Francis Burdett,
anal that as Sir Francs Burdett his out bees expelled fruits

exercising therein all the ditties of a Member of the same.

the notice hr hay given, to drvi a and adopt such measures
as will effect an immediate and reli I Reform is the Cum.

Mr. Qv IN then wove !, "That the Petition should
