To Lieut.-Gen. GASCOYNE, M. P. for Liverpool.

Liverpool, Feb. 28, 1815.

Sta—The Public Papers have reported., that on
the 9th ins.t• vhett you presented to the House of
COmmons, the Petition from Liverpool against
the renewal of the Property Tax, you stated that
it was signed by either " all the Inhabitants of
tile Town" or " all those who paid the Property
Tax, with the exception of 8 6r 10 individuals,"
and " that it teas more: numerously signed than
,any Petition ever sent from Liverpool."
I cannot doubt but you have seen the reports
which impute these statements tolyou, and from
the time that has now elapsed without any ex-
planation being offered to your Constituents or
the Public, they-must conclude the reports were
correct';l,therefore, feel myself ;called upon, as
an I:thabitant as wee as a Freeman of Liv'crpool,
and one too who had the misfortune •to vote for
you'when last sent to Parliament, to state, in the
most unquaktied nianuer, that these assertions trere
without foundation ; that I consider them, in the
light they are generally considered here, as a, libel
on the public feeling and good sense of a great
majority of the inhabitants by whom the Petition
in question was most decidedly disapproved, and
considered only as a measure meant no embarrassthe
Government, without the possibility of any good.
or useful purpose being produced by it, notwith-
standing the praise you thought proper to lavish
on its authors.

,Your new Friends and Corr,2;z9ondents may not
have deemed it necessary to inform- you what
pains were taken to procure names to this Peti-
tion ; that it was for near three weeks hulas-
trionSly exhibited in every public‘ place to invite
.signatures ; that names were written without the
knowledge ol the parties to whom they belonged ;
that many imaginarysignatures were added; many
did not belong to Liverpool, and -not a few of
tiroie Who -never paid the Tax that with all these •
exertions, it was sign'ed
.by,only a small propor=
tion of the Inhabitants of the town, and not by
one fourth part of those who paid the Tax in
question. Common report here states the num-
ber of names to have been under three thousand.
Had you examined the Petition before you pre-
sented it, you woidd•have found that the skins,
42 in number, were very loosely signed, sortie of
them only filed in p-trt ; and that -though it-is
possible they might be under-rated at 3000, the
excess •abOVe that number could not be considera-
ble. 'Now, Sir, you ought to know, that the po-
pulation of •Town is estimated to exceed
100,000 ; that; from houses and other buildings
alone, about 17,000 py the Propertv Tax ; that
near 3060 pay it from Trade and Manufacture
only, besides professional men : the respectabi-
lity, Wealth, intelligence, and influence of those
who did not sign this Petition, it .is well known
here, are at least,in the same proportion.
Yourxecollection seems also to have been sadly
at fault, or you must have remembered, amongst
other instance, that last ,Summer a Petition was
sent from hence, and presented to the House of
Commons by your Right lion. Colleagues; pray-
ing that the existing Corn Laws might not be
altered„ which filled 15-1 skins, and 'contained
above '20,003 signatures, all sobscribed .in five
days ! 1 leave it to you and the Piddie to compare
'these facts with the statements said to have been
made by von in the House, and then draw your
and their conclusions. I trust I ha re said enough
to 1.110 ye:the odium so unjustly thrown upon the
'' good, ord, and loyal town or Liw.Tpool,".•
