and attachment to their Sovereign, id
Sovereign did his duty. "Moriamar
?ria A iierese"—" Let us die for our
King Maria Theresa," was the cry of
Is in the last century, when that Qu.q a
was exposed to danger from the unprincipled pr.)-
ctedings of Frederic of Prussia. " Let us die to
defend our King," and a thousand swords leaped from
their scabbards at the words.—(Enthusiastic cheer-
ing.) Cannot, I ask, such a people be attached t.y
proper treatment? Oh yes, they can, andif the
Emperor of Austria had conceded their demands,
which were founded on right and justice, he wou'd
have possessed the respect and attachment of a people
as loyal as ever were univd to a Sovereign.—(Grt'At
cheering.) Now he will have an unhappy and dis-
contented people to deal with, and the ;lame he will
have to play will be a difficult one, and I have vei y
serious doubts whether he will be able to prevent

Russia from am fair and valuable
him. Russia never fails to take advantage of such
an opportunity as is now afforded her tier advancing
Ler own power and vgrandisernent ; she has her
mense armies of barba:ia►is at commautha.nd Aust.: is

Inv rest assured that Russia will not fail ,to pronmte
discontent among it her subjects until she obtains poi-
session of Ilutwary.—(Hear, hear.) The only w
therefore which I can see that Austria has of keetArg
Hungary is by conceding the just demands of
Ilungsrians.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, perhaps I tnqy
be alowed to make a suggestion to you upon the

present occasion, and it is this—that in order to carry
out the plan I have proposed—in order to do some-
thing that may have a salutary effect upon the de:-
tinies of Hungary, it would be well that you should
vote an address to Lord Palmerston, calling upon him
to use his utmost influence with Austria on behalf of
Hungary.— (Loud cheers) He will no doubt entreat
her to act humanely towards those she has succeeded
by foreign aid in subjecting, without being able to
conquer—he will deprecate that barbarous conduct
which has changed a flourishing nation into a mass of
miserable humanity—he will deprecate that policy
which seeks to confiscate the property of the
leading Hungarians, and drive them like Poles into
miserable exiles.—(Cheers.) He will, no doubt, re-
commend the policy of forbearance and moderation,
which in my opinion will do more to screen the Em-
peror from those anathemas that the beginning of lis
reign must have heaped on him, and which would do
more to conciliate and secure his empire than any
other line of policy that could be adopted.—(Ap-
plause.) lam sure that Lord Palmerston will use
his interference in this respect, but he would use it
with much more influence, with much more confi-
dence, if he finds that he is backed, as I know he will
be, by the entire British nation.—(Loud cheers.) I
believe, gentlemen, that at the latter part of the even-
ing some of the gentlemen who will address you, will
propose for y our adoption a memorial of the descrip-
tion I have taken the liberty to hint at, and I think
you will do well to adopt it unanimously.—(Ap-
plause.) I trust that your example—the example of
this great amid noble Common-hall of Norwich, will be
followed all over the kingdom—that those meetings
inithd iifferent towns and cities of which Ijhsve spoken
to you this evening, and which si ere held whilst
the struggle in Hungary was going on, and winks
the hopes of immediate success cheered them on-
ward—l say I hope that those meetings will be
again repeated in every place where there are men
to be found who are the devoted partizans of
liberty, and what place is without them, my friends ?
—(Enthusiastic cheering.) I trust that those
meetings will be repeated everywhere, and I shall
greatly rejoice if they should be like the meeting held
this day in Norwich.—(The Noble Lord then re-
sumed his seat amidst the enthusiastic and prolonged
cheers and applause of the meeting.)
The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution to the
meeting, and it was adopted with loud cheers.
JOHN SULTZER, Esq., then came forward, and was
received with loud applause. He said—Mr. Chair-
man, Ladies and Gentlemen—The committee have
done me the honour to place in my hands the nest
resolution, which with y our permission I will read.
" The Austrians by violating the compact by which
the Crown of Hungary was settled on the empire of
Austria, deserves the reprobation of all honest men,
and that Russia by its intervention to crush the liber-
ties of Hungary, has committed a gross breach of the
recognised laws of nations." It will be little that I
shall presume to address to you upon this subject,
because the case has been so ably brought before you
by the Noble Lord who has just addressed the meet-
ing, and I have also reason to believe that the
question will be advocated shortly by a gentleman
possessing much greater ability than myself. I will not,
therefore, touch upon the question with respect to
the- recent struggle in which the Hungarians have
been engaged.—(Cheers.) The right which you and
I possess /0 enter upon the consideration of this ques-
tion, I conceive to be the same as that by which a
man claims to express sympathy for his fellow-mu.
—(Cheers.) The position which we occupy to-night
is that of a large number of persons met together for
the purpose of expressing their opinions, and the re-
solution which I have now the honour to propose, is
the expression of our opinion, and shows that we are
met for the purpose of exercising collectively our duty
in enforcing on our rulers the necessity and the duty
cif protecting the weak from the oppressions of the
strong and the powerful.—(Cheers.) I hold in iny
hand a document, which contains, amongst cal er
things, two particulars, which, with your permission,
I will read. The resolution that I have submitted to
you declares that " Austria, by violating the cola-
pact by which the crown of Hungary was s. t-
led on the Emperor of Austria, deserves the
reprobation of all honest men," and I will now
read to you the oath which the Emperor of Austria
has taken to the Kingdom of Hungary, when three
centuries ago that kingdom sought the protection of
the house of Hapsburg, the members of which were
afterwards declared monarchs. This is the oath
which the Emperors of Austria have taken to preserve
the liberties of the people of Hungary :—" Having
graciously listened to, and graciously granted the
prayers of our beloved and faithful dignitaries of the
Church and of the States, magnates and nobles of
Hungary and her dependencies, we ordain that the
before-mentioned laws be registered in these presents,
word for word; and, as we consider these laws and
their entire contents, both collectively and separately,
fitting and suitable, we give them our consent and
approbation. In exercise of our royal will, we have
accepted, adopted, approved, and sanctioned them, in
assuring at the same time our faithful States, that we
will respect the said laws, and will cause them to he
respected by our faithful subjects." Now, for calling
upon the Emperor of Austria, as King of Hungary,
to fulfil the conditions of that oath, which his suc-
cessors had taken, they have brought upon them the
Russian bayonets.—(Hear, hear.) And how are these
people treated for resisting this gross breach of faith ?
will endeavour to show you in the next document,
which I shall read. It is the proclamation of the
Austrian Minister, the new Gesler of the 191 h cen-
tury, to the inhabitants of Pesth :—" After several
victories which the Imperial arms have obtained over
those of the traitors, we have again planted the Im-
perial standard on your steeples. But our feelings
are far different from what they were when we left
you a short time ago. Doomed to death is every
person, no matter of what rank or sex—doomed to
instant death on the spot of the crime is every one who
dares to assist the cause of the rebels, by words or by
deeds, or by revolutionary dress, or who shall dare to
insult any of my soldiers, or those of our allies by
look or by sign. Doomed to instant death is every
one who enters into traitorous c Jrrespondence with the
enemies of the Crown, or who maliciously presumes
by rumours to assist the rebellion, or to conceal
weapons." After this, is there a man in this assembly
who will refuse his assent to the resolution which I
have proposed, or the expression of the sentiments of
sympathy for oppressed Hungary ?—(No, no.)
Mr. J. W. DowsoN was received with much
cheering. He said that be considered it a great
honour to be called upon by his fellow-citizens ,to
second the resolution they had heard read, and there.
fore he need not now repeat it. He felt convinced a
power existed in the country stronger than physical
force; and he felt sure that the united voices of the
nation would effect all that was hoped to be effected.
He should say no more, but before sitting down he
could not but express himself glad to hear that a gen-
tleman would be introduced to the notice of the meet-
ing, deer

The CHAIRMAN then in a few words introduced Mr.
Donne to the meeting.
Mr. DONNE said,
,I am honoured with a request
from the gentlemen who have been instrumental in
convening this meeting, to support the resolution
which has been just read and moved. I recom-
mend it to your adoption, and I respond to it
individually with equal earnestness. Yet I cannot
but feel some natural hesitation in appearing before you
this evening as one of the advocates of the Hungarian
cause, without po-sessitig any of even the ordinary
claims upon the attention of a numerous and intelligent
audience. The noble and honourable persons who
have hitherto addressed you, bring with them general
or local recommendations to your attention and ap-
plause. The Noble Lord, whose presence honours
us this evening, and to whom we have listened with
so much pleasure, has deservedly won for himself a
universal renown, both at home and abroad, as the
ever active, zealous, and consistent friend of the exiled
and the unfortunate. The Hon. Gentlemen who have
supported that Noble Lord are well and highly es-
teemed by you all for their public station and ser-
vices in this city, and occupy official or professional
positions in it, which mark them out as the proper
leaders on every occasion when public matters are to
be discussed or public feeling to be expressed. One,
therefore, who like myself possesses neither a general
nor a local title to address you, cannot but feel that,
on this occasion, he labours under considerable
