deo:emulation of pm inciplea, which, under the specious pre-

ran only tend to undermine the valuable distinctions of civil
society, and to introduce that baneful spirit of Revolution,

The Meeting, of which public notice had been
given, to express the feelings of the iiihabitants of
the metropolis on the conduct of the yeomanry ca-
valry end magistrates of Manchester, in dispersing
the recent assembly of the people in that town, was
on Saturday held at the Crow's and Anchor To-
ren,. The great room was tilled, almost to suffo-
cation, soon after twelve o'clock.
At a quarter before our, Major CARTWRIGHT
made his appearance, and was received with loud
and reiterated plaudits. He was accompanied by
Mr. WooLER, Mr. WADDINGToN, Mr. PARR,
sod several other frierids of reform. We observed,
near theethair, Dr. WatioN, Mr. THISTLEWOOD,
and -Mr.Galg JONES.
When the applause consequent on the sotranee
of Msjor CARTWRIGHT had subsided— •
Mr. WOOLER stood forward and sai•l, the ins-
portanea of *the occasion on which the people lied
now assembled was of *so-irery urgent a nature as to
render it impossible to 'wait longer fur the expres-
slim of the public oiiiyion an the circumstances
that would be laid before them--circinustances
which were, however, known to all, and with
respect to which there could be but vise feel-
ing iu all generous breasts.—(llenr, hear.) —lt
was, therefore, deemed unalienable to wait till
some person of rank and consequence could be pre-
vailed on to preside at a Meeting. hell under such
pressing and peculiar circumstances. linked, such
an individual could not give au additional
degree of importance to the Meeting, although lie
might be desirable, in order to give a proper stamp
to the formality of their proceedings. Major Cart-
wright was presents-but, when. they considered his
edvanced age, they must feel that be was un-
able to undergo the fatigue necessarily attendant on
the duties of a Chairman. Under these circuits-
stasices he begged leave to propose that Mr. Wad-
diegion be called to the Chair.
Mr. GAl.¢ JONES seconded the motiou, which
was can ied by aeclstßation.
Mr. W•DDINGTOW said. it required more than
common courage to be able to stand before the
Meeting after the tonne of that distinguished and
venerable patriot, Major Curtweight, had been men•
tiusiell.—(llear, lone.)-.--Bat, when that excellent
individual's great age was recollected—and when
they availed to wind the etninetit services lie lind
rendered to his country for nearly half • yen-
tury--they would see sufficient reason to justify
hie conduct in ilea • g the Chair on this oc-
casino. Under these circumstances, he hoped tt
would not be deemed impudent or prowmpluous
iu him, if, at that moment, when utoinents were so
precious. he did not refuse the distinguished I 1111 l war

He would cheerfully take she Chair—and the Meet-
lug should find. that lie would act entirely MI the
maxim of Arai diming partent.—( Hear.)--tle was
convinced, looking to the enlightened age to winch
they lived, that the 'engorge of those who delivered
their sentsineuts, this day, would be temperute and
sober—and altogether worthy of the anivessal &flu.

ed the people of this country at the present hour.—

Much lee caulel he imagioe that a conclave of

order to arrange their horrible proceedings—ar
if it were a mete dramatic rehearsal far the

Hot force the people to e t iiaprudrutly, to com-
mit themselves the grossest outrage, under the

There was voulething so detestable in the conduct
of those men, that, if the circutivelmices were lint

any man could ruhacritee his belief to the factr!—

was, afforded !—(Hear, hear, hear.)—Mr. 11'onler

their meetings to censure the conduct of the Tories

form was an object of hostility. Neither would

yet, must lie add, it was only because the one
party was out of power, end the other in; it was
because the Whigs winded to get into place, that
they deigned to make any slew of feeling for the
people, for invariably did it happen that the ma-
meet they were carried into office they forgot the
professions they hail made ; the people and their
cause were deserted, as the ware is Ito more
tl gilt of when the vessel has been borne its

ingly, since the people had begun to thick and
act for themselves, every charge of ignorance,
of folly, of 'tepidity, had beets thrown on then from
both .odes—but they should be forgiven —as it was
merely what they used to do themselves. sod in the
way of their general teccupation.-.-(App/ostse.)—
To mark the apemen: and deep laid plan against
reform of any description, let them look at the
events of the last tire or six week'. They all

that a certain party only couatituted the nation,
cud that all the Mat of the people were nothing.
Mr. Wootexit was at this time interrupted by •
paper being put into his Issued (rain elle bottom of
the room. Havisig read it, " Gentleeneo," said
Ire. " I leave moodier piece ref itiforniation to com-

1. That in the opinion of this Assembly the public Blest.

inataut, to consider of the beet and most effectual luaus
of obtaining Parliamentary Reform, was perfectly legal :odd

2. That if the Magistrates deemed *web Meeting illegal.
it was their duty to have &amounted such illegality, and
taken proper precautions against its being held.
3. That to proceed to disperse stitch • legal Anemhly by
force of arms, can only be considered S 3 a wariest musette
of our uauffendieg and peaceable countrymen ; and that the
barbarity with which a ferocious yeomanry executed the null
orders of • vindictive Magistracy, sparks vitiate r age nut

cheater, on Monday, the 16th iostant, impel dimity ileasends,
that, as in London, the right of choosing Sheriffs and Ma-
gistrates should be restored to the people as previous to the
reign of Edward the Second.
5. That the jesuitical circular of Lord Sidmouth, so ably
exposed by Mr. Jeremy Bentham; the obscure and indica-
site Proclamation of the Regent; and the recent calum-
ales upon Reform, delivered from the sacred seat of has-
tier, may have bad • powerful effect is prodoeing this la-
mentable outrage on the laws—aud that it is mush to he re-
gretted that high birth and digitated situation should be
lent to such an improper excitation of the angry passions of
the enemies of Reform.
6. That H. Haut, Esq. Chairman, Messrs. Johnsoe,
Kuight, Saxton, sad others, arrested on this twcaui..tt, ..p-
-pear to have conducted themselves with exemplary and eon-
stitutioual discretion, and have therefore eosuuuud.d the
respect and protection of every patriot it the United Kisig•

7. That the exemplary behaviour of the regular troops
employed on that OCC3OOII, forms • humane contrast to the
conduct of the yeomanry cavalry, and may be fairly cuu-
strued into a pledge that the British regular farce will nut .
trample upon the rights, nor destroy the Lhertid a of their

8. That the Electors of Westminster, the Borungh of

grace the some of soldiers.
9. That this Meeting would have presented • Petition to
the Regent, praying him to bring the esthete of these atio-
cities to justice, bet that the interception of Petitions is

to expect that amp complaint of the people will reach his

10. That a Committee be appointed to consider of the

Mr. CARTWRIGHT seconded these Resolutions.
