LETTER

TO TIIE WOBIT.ITY. OENTIIT, CLERGY, FREEHOLDERS),
AND INHABITANTS OF THE COUNTT OF stage.
Ol..Nll.EMEN.—Tholigls I have nut the tumour of any
political connection with you, and though I am known to
you only as a resident and acting Magistrate of the comity
of Berks ; yet, having occasionally met many of you at
County Meetings, and having al aays on those occasions
found a great concurrence of opinion amongst the ma-
jority of you on political subjects, I take the liberty of
now addressing you.
It is not many days since I took upon myself to send to
several Gentlemen resident in differeut parts of the county
copies of a proposed Requisition to the Sheriff, to call a
County Meeting, for the purpose of addressing the King
on thetreatment which the Queen was expel itileint at the
hands of his Ministers; and of passing such Resolutions
as the state of the country plied seem to demand. But
the es ent of this day, and the scene which I have just
witnessed in Parliament, do, in my opinion, imperatively
require that some further steps should inanieedately be
taken, by all those who value the stability of the Throne
sail the tranquillity of the country.
It having been stated by the Ministers in the early part
of the proceedings against the Queen, that no provision
could be made fur her Majesty w hole thore proceedings acre
pending; and it having been lately signified to her on the
s:tme authority, that neither could provision be made fur her,
nor a residence supplied, till Pet !lament met fur the dis-
patch or business ; it dues seem u hide extraordinary—that
Parliament being at that time actually sitting, aud the two
Hems.. being to meet, and a call of the House of Commons
having been shirred for to-day—that, wicko such circus,-
-lances, a prorogation sl.uuld lake place. But the case is
infinitely aggravated by Ibis fact, that the Quern had pre-
pared a cominunicat ))))) and haddirected her Law °dicers to
present it to the House ofConinions ; that Lord Castlereagh
was apprised of their intention to du so; and that the sitting
of the commission to prorogue the Parliament was so
timed, that Mr. Denman was prevented front delivering it,
though he took the very first opportunity to rise for that
purpose,
'1 trim, however, is not all. The prorogation took place,
but quite contrary to the usual-1 believe the invariable+
practice, no communication of any sort was made to the
Homes on the state of affairs and the political relations of
the country, internal or external; though most assuredly the
events which have occurred, both at home and abroad, since
the coomirencemesit of the Session, have been of sufficient
importance to require that the King's Ministers should have
advised his MsOesty to state lo his Parliament his opimuu
thereon.

Under these circumstances, and considering the present
agitated state of the public mind, 1 cahoot hut t outemplate
the prorogation of the Parliament till the93.l of hinuary, as
a measure pregnant with the greatest danger to the State—
to the tranquillity, and tbeoce to the liberties of the people,
sod to the pensauency of the civil and religious e►tablish-
tneots of the fessuistry. 1 am, therefore. disposed to recom-
mend that a requisition *humid be presented to the High
Sherd; to call a public ineetiug of ihn County as soon as
possible, for the purpose of piayin4 the kiag to reossesuble
the Parliament without loss of time; and 1 think this the
most expeditious mode of makiug known my opinion, that
iu case guy of you should Liver with me, Revolutions muy
be immediately prepared, and siAnatures procured to them;
which Itequisitionstither may be forwarded to the Sheriff
direct, or, Irwin to me, atoll, when collected, be buns-
mined without delay.
1 have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your faithful bumble seafront
FOLKISTONT.
