re.lled" In consider fir propriety Qf adapting Ike awl legal

to strengthen the hands of power, to simplify

mow considered but as live stock ; sometimes. in.

to think that von are considered strangers in your

which he had alluded. the Seditious Meetings Bill,
sad the Llcensitig Bull, were passed in the face of
day in an assembly of 658 gentlemen, who were
supposed to liner tukrn care of the liberties of
Eisglishmen. They were missed by that assembly,
met only 40 voices were found to roomer it. One
effort more was made to tlestroy, at one blow, the
remai ll it ig liberties of the people--that was, to
put down by military force the public meetings of
the people, tatahltslied, as they had been from

could long realism without losing all its liberties.

that though alone, they would do their (lute.

No modern Tiberius should he a model for a

Mr. Hon/Wyatt theta mute forward, and read the
Address as follows:—
TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE REGENT.
The humble and dutiful Address of the Electors of West-
minster, assembled in New Palace-yard, on Thursday,
the 2.1 day of September, 1819.
We, the Electors of Westminster, ennobled in Palace-
yard, in pursuance of public advertisement for that purpose
duly made, beg have to address your Royal Highness in
language such as we hope it may become the citizens of
free State to speak, sod the Chief Magistrate of a powerful,
tbnugh oppressed, people to hear.
We humbly represent to your Royal Highness, that the
accounts which we have received of the recent outrage at
klanehester, have impressid us in summon, we belies e. with
the cleat majority of our fellovi.countrymee with feelings
of shame, grief, and indignation. and that we esteem it the
vioreour duty to express those feelings tau this momentous
occasiiio, hentivar the approbation which the Ministers of
your Royal Highness have bestowed on the same events
which have caused our regret and alarm, has afforded us sit
add " I proof of a settled design and content effort, not
uuly to reject the Petitious, but to silence the complaints of
the people; and either by secret an, or open violence, to
cnotriveTUAT THE VOICE Or TRUTH SHALL NITER REACH
THY THRoale.
To detest this rinlawful project we inform your Royal
Highness, that in site open day, in the fair and by the com-
mand of those appointed to twitter the peace, blood has
been spill—that the innocent have been coudemned to soli-
levy coullieement, and the laws of England thus notoriously
infringed by a Magistracy either ignorant of those lews, or
agitated by false alarms, and inflamed by local jealousies to
a wilful violation of their own daty, sad the rights of their
felluw.sohjects.
We humbly represent so your Royal Highness, that so
long as the Commons Howie of Parliament shall not speak
the language of the Commons, the wishes and wants of the
People of these realms Call only be repressed in their Peti-
tions and Rrinonsuancts adopted at their Public Meetings.

Mr. THILWALL next addressed the Meeting at
some length. He said, he was glad to are so no-
Ineroll.4 a Meeting; it was a proof that the courage
of Engltsluarn rove with the power which oppress
them—the voice of reason alone would ultimately
prevail—reason was the only omnipotent power, and
it would achieve the great work of justice and Re-
form.
Mr. WALKER said he would confine himself to •
few facts, which, though not new to them, it was
still right to impress up .m their memory. The
, right of Englishmen to meet was estahlialwrl from
time iinusemorial, mid should not he interfered
I with—yet did the Magistrates of Manchester openly
invade this right ; they went on from one wrong act
to another. On the examination of Mr. Hunt they
refused to allow him to examine the witnesses, the
consequence of which was, that that Gentleman
and the other individuals would go to trial under an
unfair disadvantage, and the witnesses would have
time to make out studied answers to the questions
he had put. Allusion had been made to several
Ac' of Parliament, hot there was one Act slum-
