°."l4tch the r4°o3 had by thist_tuse.bresome crowd-
ed. Several parties of 1.,.40he5. finding it more ton-
senieirt, ascended the goilleries, and when these
were filled, others Hp-rotted oo the music loft,
their places being eagerly taken into pct./oration hy
those who were pret4itig in from the door. The
room at length became so full, that the sides and
ends appeared as if the company were piled upon
one another. The Appearance of thr eis.eMbly was
mn.t gratifying, from the general display of reaper,
lability, and the great rittinhers of woilsonle,
die4rd females alto were in attend:oiler.

After one o'clock the company began to shew
some impatience at the drily which took place.
Mr. PEARSON got upon the table, and sold, that
as the room sits very full. and the hour for taking
the chair wait past, nod ua besides there were seve-
ral distinguished personages present, who were
equal to managing the business of the Meetialgs
perhaps it would be desirable to send “ deputation
into the Committee-room, to inform the Gentle-
men there, that the company would he glad of
their presence. lie propoeed a Resolution to that
ett:ct, and that Mr. Itnsie should be “ppointed to
make knonn in the Committee the wishes of the
assembly. This Itet,olititint being canted, and the
message delivered, in a few 'lnhofe-a Mr. Flabhouse
was ushered into the room by the Comnintee, and
was followed by Mr. Mute, Mr. P. Moore, Alder-
man Wood, and some other Gentlemen,

Qsi the motion of Mr. PICKMAN,
Mr. Hoßuoust was voted into the Chair. It
was almost unnecessary, I.e said, to give them any
tiling like a preliminary outline, or offer any fib-
irritations ou the subject which had brought toge-
ther such great and respectable numbers. It was
unfortenately ton well known what that cause was
which had assembled the people together in so many
places throughout the kingdom to express their opi-
nions of it, that those opitootis were now almost una-
nimously pronounced. It might be necessary to
observe, that this Meeting differed from all others
which had yet been held with respect to the
object of it. Other meetings had been held
previous to the time in which the accusations
had been brought, or while the proceedings were
pending against her Majesty. But now they were
met, after the enemies of the Quern and the
kingdom (for they were identified) had fulfilled
their merisures against both. That the Queen
should remain uninjured way to barely matter
of congratulation. lie heed always felt certain, that
there could be no other result ; hut besides this,
he had always felt sod declared. :hat the Court lit!-
fore which the Queen was cited to appear was not a
fair and legal trilmnal.—(Applanse.)—With this
impression on his mind, all that had taken place On
the trial amounted to nothing with him—he heeded
it no more than the idle wind. Having made up his
mind that the Peers had Ito tight to try the Queen,
he did not care one farthing about whet manner thew
might choose to try her. He could not say that
there were no parallels for the proceeding in past
tune•—they occurred, however, in very had titters.
And, after a pretty fair and serious perusal of the
History of England, hue felt safe in saying that the
only parallels which had occurred were those which
took place in t he reign al Henry VII I.—(Applause.)
—But even these were nothing to compare .with
the present trial. For that Monarch having sent it
to the Judges for an opinion as to the legality of
giviogjuth,onent in a Court before which the party-
had nut been cited, the Judges returned for an-
swer, "God forbid that they should impugn his
Majesty's powitr in regard to the question submitted ;
but they meet nerds say, they thought it rather a
daiigerous precedent."—(LoNghter' and applause.)
—They added, that as the High Court of Parlia-
ment should display more temperance in their pro-
ceedings than other tribunals, it ought ,lit to ex-
ceed iii the exercise of its powers the jurisdiction
of inferior Courts. But in the Queen's case, her
Nlajesty was not •cited at all, and in consequence of
petition by Coonsel alone, her Majesty was
showed even to be heard in defence. He remem-
bered very well the conduct of the hireling 'Elea-
gory scribes on that occasion, who seemed to reckon
it as a monstrous and unheard-of piece of insolence
in her Majesty to interfere at all. Indeed, us far
as he could collect, the only crime which the
Queen had committed, was in refusing to allow
herself to be trampled upon—(App/ease)—in not
submitting to be borne down without making one
atiprail at least to a brave and generous people.
Her first crime lay in persisting to conic over here,
when ter enemies wished her to keep away. Her
second crime was in not going away when they
wanted her to go away—( Cheers )—und the con-
tolualion of her stay was the aggravation of the only
offence she had ever committed, that of returning
to the country over which she was entitled to rule.
He would like to know what right the Peers had in
try the Queen ? Ile bad been looking into the
statute of treason. and he found there that it was
treason to conspire against the life or character of
the Quem—(Load cheers.)—lt was true that
some of the lawyers, in their commentaries, made a
distinction between the case of a Queen Consort
and a Queen Regnaut ; but none of them denied
that it was treason to conspire against a Queen

James./. who in commenting upon a troossiactioat
of oltst reign, aboost as dirty and disgusting as
ilist the meeting were riagaged lit discussing, used
some very reinarksble words. The writer, his talk-
ing of the divorce of Somerset from the Counteis of
Essex, said, " Hut needs must when the devil
drives; yet knew he not how liatidsonsely to effect
this, wit} t getting the King over to his views.
Nor was ems hard to do; for the King's eyes began
to tiandei eller a new favourite, bong satiated Onto
the old. Wherefore, my Lord*, the Bishops, must
lie rendered nostottnients therein (as I know
not
what lied action tory would not quietly look on).
and the Bishop of Winchester, being a great
scholar and a very learned civihau, must be made
the chief actor iu the scheme, for which his son was
afterwards knighted."—Now he wished to know
what was to bolder them from siding in the same
way ag'aito. Their were 24 Bishops' on the beiiela,
a great number out of 300 Members, 'which com-
posed the House of Peers. After all those mush.
des-alms, who was there iii the country that would
care one tons what verdict was pronounced ?
(Cheers.)—They ought tint to care; however ; jusz-
tier, hoopoe, and-their dignity as human beings.
ought to 'nevem them from coring.—(Chrers.,l---
Il was true that the Noble Lord at Vie head of the
Treasury had promised to allow ahem to vote on
this occusion according to their consciences. His
expression was, dolt in whatever way Peers might
think proper to vote, lie ;would not be hurt by it.
Now this was telling a great deal too Much. It
•araiinorel that the Peers do not geatrally vote front
conscience, and as they believe it to he for the
good of the country, but only as it may please
Lord Liverpool. Osi this occasion they were to be
allowed to vote conscientiously, and he must *ay
that he del not think Lord Liverpool would hr iu
any danger of losing their votes by this itodutgence.
Was it tat he supposed thou those who had lair Yd

W hy, in every one of the countries of Europe where
the charges were laid, it was among the principles
of their tribunals, that a servant could toot give evi-
dence ag-siiist his master ; but if this sort of evidence

was decency and morality itself. This was the
•a 'id and hoot of I►er Majesty's offence. It was
• e that this famous, or rather infamous charge. was
!ot yet proved. But after all it would amount not
n w breach of morales but to an affair of manners;
:.rid if manners alone were to be consulted in every
case, who could he safe? Suppose any one un.

female part of the Royal Family at home : there

‘nigt A great many distiuguished individuals

tastuice. Suppose he were to say, that he had wit-
Llessed in a northern Court (as he had in fact) the
•sa hole of the family and domestic.. male aud female,
go into a bath together.—(Laughter.)—Now this
was • very common mode of entertainment in
Ilussita. To come nearer home, he had been in the
imp-room at Bath, and seen Ladies and Gentle-
,a•n,
after walking up and down, arm-in-arm, go
to a window and look out on that which lie certainly

errisidered a very agreeable sight, a number of
people of both sexes pumped upon with hot
water. These facts taken uskedly—(Laughterj—
tie begged pardon—there was, we Deanna said, a

cvnutry, that he had seen the Queen of England
looking at persons bathing in this manner, what
gross indelicacy would appear in the act i.obut if
taken as the custom of the country, and as some-

thing which every one (lid. it amouuteol to nothing.
Another fact he would relate to them. Leopold,
of Tuscany, was as wise a Prince ay most: a mode
set amusement common in his Court was for the
ladies and gentlemen to cuter the menagerie in the
evening after dinner, and theme scenes were exhibit-
ri winch he could trot eveu mention to that assembly
—tiley might letirn more by consulting Forsyth's
Tratels. Suppose he were to say, Oita the Queen
made one of a party at casin), and went to our the
eights in the menagerie with a crowd of fashionable
company, nothing would be thought of it. But if he
sarre merely to say, that the Queen witnessed such
arid such exhibitions while in Tuscany, they would
be thought gains in die extreme. But there was
ro oae criminal fact charged against the Qiteen,
reach less was any in liter of state involved tit the
accosatinis. All the charges were smothered in
thew own paucity. He had great pleasure in re-
ferring to what had been slid by Lord Liverpool,
who was reckoned the best man in administration.
His Lordship had assured the Hons-, that all the
separate sets of witnesses had been kept apart. Was
eser any thing heard of like th;se sets of witnesses
1!: English law before ? Here were, suppose live
sets of as-dilemma to move a s-t of three facts each, 15
facts. Why, it was much heater for them to be all
together than to separate the sets, and keep each
by itself. What had they to do but agree together ?
si Well, we have all to swear that we maw such a thiug
—you swear that you saw me present, and I swear
that 1 saw you"—( Laaghter.)—Perhaps from the
failure of the charges, and the compunctious of
certain great consciences. the CAW might yet be
abandoned ; at any rate it would not alter his opi-
Perhaps it would have been better had the
Queen been advised not to have answered to the
ir.:cusation of the iributial at all. Charles 1. was
nut is very good man, hot he was wise enough to
refuse to be tried by a tribunal inferior to his own
authority. Go as it would, the Queen could not

many other spirited observations, he concluded a
sarech, which was throughout iecrived with the
I rudest deihunstrations of applause, by saying that
i.e had received a letter to apologise for the absence
of his worthy colleague, Sir F. Burdett, alio was
detained by so severe an illness that be could nut
write.

Mr. GARDINER then read three letters, contain-
ing apologies from Gentlemen who had been to-
wed to attend the ineetiog: .
The first was from T. %Wilson, Esq. one of the
Menthe's for the City, who excused Marvell' front
obeying the call of the Committee on account of
t;,:: shortne►s of the notice given him, the letter
fuo:n the Secretary not having beets delivered at his
present resMence, a considerable distance bum
London, till late on Saturday; and Hot opened till
Monday.
The next was from S.C. %V hithresd, E-q. 31. P.
fur Middlesex. He stated that be should be very
rimy to attend the meeting, but that lie had two
e;.gagetnents on his hands for ye•terdav of so long
•Cauding that he leered he could mot put them off.
The third was from the Han. 11. C. Bennett,
'Minos-ling that, as it was his carivietiiin the whole
ails. proceedings against her Moirbly were mark-
ed in the strongest manner by fraud, perjury, and
conspiracy, he was sorry he should be prevented

Mr. I'. Moons having then been called upon to

prejudicr of her Majesty, tiamely,,.that the charges
bad originated in • dark and foul conspossey, 14.4

(ripplease.)—ln another place he had made the
to 'Marmon ; and here, keeping iu his mind, keep.
tog to his firm resolution, mid his former professions,
repeated that it was wined arid dark conspiracy,
✓od that his Majesty's Ntlipisieut were at the bottom
•} it, and that ►t ass directed pow again►t the
persion of her Majesty. It was for ntrier and
snore extended ultimate, views, mid shot the perste
taboo of her Majesty car only the instrument
•f a plot sulditated against the people. and
calculated to overthrow all dou►estictty, to strip
us of all on► boasted rights and 'theme,. to over-
turow all the institutions, to the irilieribusice of
which we were horn, sod that C•nvtitntiuu, which►
It Res une of the roiliest lemmata of our childhood

to love and venerate.— (Applause.)—Therefore,
if he were • Juror' ou the trial of her Majesty, he
would say upon his conscience that she was per-
fectly inuocent. But they were assembled on points
of infinitely more importance than the innocence of
any individual, however elevated—that, however,
would be restored to her, he was happy to say, with.
out a stain. He hid bend the night before, on au-
thority which would not be disputed, were he at
liberty to mention it, that even in the two first days
of her Majesty's defence, the two chief malingers of
the proceedingsagainst her Majesty, the Lord Chen-
cellar and the First Lord of the Treasury, would he
very happy to come forward, end coerces to the pen-
ple that they had been imposed upon, deceived, and
• led themselves.a,-(app/aose ) —Why then was
it only those who were invidiously celled the lower
orders of the country—the haw of the State—
the only class that was not deceittvl. ? The reason
was, because they would not snil
n sidlt up their un-
derstanding nut suffer themselves to e deceived.—
(Applarree.)—fle was happy to see so nicety of Isis
fair countrywomen around him. in the support of
cause which was the great cause of the constitu-
tion mid the lawi. Of late the whole contineir al
Poeera had been employed to put down one woman.
All the Powers winch had been marshislled against
Bonaparte at the battle of iVaterloo were now ar-
rayed against our domesticity. Awl with contempt
and shame ought every nom, woman, and child,
that wjs old enough to have an ides of the
questiq, to* be viewed, that did not come for-
ward to declare themselves against the common
•foe. The Honeurable Gentletuaii then contrasted
the motives and conduct of the existing Ministers,
wall the virtuous and disinterested ones of Chatham
or Pelham. Who were the conductors of 11w pm-
secution against her Majesty? The Ministers of
the Crown, the accursed Commission at Milan, the
Vice-Chancellor, or the Chancellor-vice—(A laugh)
—Colonel Brows, : who lie was he did not know,
but he supposed that 'cyanid by he would say that
every labourer was worthy of his Bite.—(Lueglifer.)
Tlie4e, with a. set of is-nowise% perjured arid de-
spised, composed every thing that her Majesty
lied to contend against. But
she trusted that the
issue of the attempt would. he a warning, not
only to the present, but to all Ministers. that the
people of this country were not to he trampled
on. lie should say, that those worthy patriots
who endeavoured to resist the attempt to overthrow
our law. and establish a despotitan, and Wholabour-
ed to preserve our domesticity, were much better.
entitled to the gratitude of their country than those
who went to fight foreign battles, in which the Iwo-
plc hail no real interest.—(alpploase.)—Therefore
lir was of the opinion in a letter which he had yes-
terday received from a friend at present residing in
Lorrain, but an observer of' the events passing in
the world, that the individuals who exerted theta-
selves for Moose objects, possessed infinitely more
merit than even the heroes of the Nile or of Waterloo.
He meant to submit to them the Resolutions which
had been prepared for their approbation, and in
doing so he had may one or two words to say : first,
anal particularly, lie wished them to look at that
great Officer of State, the Attortic-General. As
the person who held that office was not willing to
let any body elm escape, with their approbution he
should nut escape I self.-01 laugh./—The in-
tent of th.it dignified office was to preserve the
laws from taractiose and to cheek und punish those
who wilfully, maliciously, and wickedly attempted
to traesgress them. So far the Atturory-Oeueral

Mr. THELWALL. in standing up to rrcnu►l the

selves, but on this occasion he thought that they
had given a practical demon►tration of the false-
hood of the charge. It had been well stated be-
fore, that the attempt against her Majesty was
a part of • conspiracy it4simit the tights and
privileges of the whole commusaty. After ■n-
n..uucing to the meeting that there were facts
which would be made ',oldie in a few days,
to .h-w that other conspiracies besides that against
the Quern were on font, and that iltose who had
spoken or written in her support were in danger of
being included in an indictment fur petty treson,
he concluded by seconding the first six Resolu-

We haie the vo:isfartion to announce to the whole

vocation of the Cortes already announced, and in

We have oil.o the pleasure to inform the public.
That in co:is-rim-lice of the measure, adopted by
the Government in these critical circumstances.
Those happy rrsolt, begin already to be experienced,
as appears fruin a lettiv received front Brigadier
Docaiiveros Bernardi,. Ferreira de Souza, which
nnuounees that some officers who bud for a moment
Oierratcd fiom their duty, began to acknowledge
lat error of which they had been guilty, by leav-
ing their rorps, and joining those who had re-
!twilled in that subordination. which was always,
us well as valour, the honour of the Portuguese
troops, and which affords the fairest hopes that in
imitation of those officers, the whole of the corps
following their example, will speedily retina to
their ditties, mid join the centre of the legitimate
authority of our beloved Sovereign. In order to
facilitate the attainment of 60 important au object,
the Governors of the kingdom hare issued the fol-
lowing
