FRIDAY, M4RCH

AFTER HENRY BRONVN, Esq. the High Sheriff,
had opened the Meeting, and stated that he had called
it in consequence of a requisition from several
Noblemen and Gentlemen ; •
The Hon. Mr. LAMER rose, and said, that as he
had been one of those who thought it their duty to
request that the High Sheriff would call a Meeting,
he begged leave to propose that the dutiful and
loyal Address which. he had before him should be
presented to Hrs NAJes•ry from that County.—
He said it must be evident to every person who had
examined the evidence produced upon the late
trials for High Treason, and who had heard of the
con v iftion, condemnation, and execution of the often..
ders, that a most daring and dangerous Conspiracy
had existed against His MAJRSTY'S Person and Go.
vernment.--He was very sure that no person, con-
vinced of rite existence of that Conspiracy, and rejoi-
cing as an Englishman ought to do at the punish.
ment of the Conspirators, could doubt of the pro-
pricty of that County offering up their earnest and
hearty congratulations at the foot of the Throne.
He then adverted to the Loyalty of the County, and
paid some handsome compliments to the Volunteers,
who had, stood forward at the moment of danger in
defence of their Country, and expressed his con.
vidion that the same zeal, ardour, and alacrity,
would be shewn whenever circumstances required it.
He concluded by re:tding a spirited and loyal.M.
dress, and moving that -it be-presented to.IiiSNA-
JESTY.
CowPmsaid, that he agreed with the
mover of the Address, in every sentiment he had
uttered, and with every word containefl in the Ad.
dress ; that after the able speech they had 'laird, it
was unnecessary for him to occupy the time Of the-
Meeting ; that feeling the most sincere joy at the
disco Very of the Conspirators, and_ the safety of His
MAJESTY, hesthought they could. not shew their
happiness, their zeal, and their loyalty, better
than by unanimously agreeing, to the propoSed Ad.
dress.

WILLIAM I3M rR, Rsq. said, he did not rise to
offer any opposition. to the Address, or to interrupt
the harmony and unanimity of that Meeting, =7-
That he perfeftly agreed with the Addling as tar as
it went, but conceived that some allusion ought to
have been made to the curnexiolt that evidently
existed between the Conspirators and the French
Government.--That he thought it clearly proved.
that it was the plan of Colonel Despard and his
accomplices i )-assassinate kits MAJOTY as pe,arly
as poSsible ttl the time that the Freoch Were to land
on the Coast ; that the evidence of one of the ac—
complices spewed that De.tiard was in daily expec.
lation of money and, news from. France that he
thought it was proper to skew His MWSTY• that
these circumstances did not escape our'notice.;
still he should not propog.e.any admendment„ and
chearfully joined iii the "Address as fir as it went,
but .could not help lamentine, tlt~lt Inot go
farther.

After a few words from Mr, Bypi,. the
