apposed to the Reform till.

That this meeting views with feelings of the deepest sorrow

compelled to resign ; and by which the nation is suddenly over.

That the cordial thanks of this meeting be given to Earl Grey,

the House of Lords; and for their magnanimity iu at once re.
tiring from office, rather than bemade the instruments of duping
the country.

ploring his Majesty to place his confidence only in men of in-

to carry a measure of Reform as full and efficient as that pro-
posed by his Majesty's late Ministers, and twice adopted by the
House of Commons ; and also that the address mow to be read be
adopted by the meeting :
TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
SIRE,—We your Majesty's dutiful and 'oval subjects, Inhabi-
tants of the borough of Devizes and its vicinity, beg humbly to
approach the Throne at this eventful and alarming crisis, when
the intrigues of interested men have succeeded in arresting the
progress of that great measure on which the hopes of the nation
have been so long and so ardently fixed.
We earnestly implore your Majesty to retain in your Councils
men of integrity only—men who are not merely pledged, but sin-
cerely disposed to carry a measure of Reform, equally efficient
with that introduced under your Majesty's sanction by your Ma-
jesty's late Ministers, twice adopted by the House of Commons,
and the principles of which have been approved by the House
of Peers.
We implore your Majesty, by the strong attachment which
your devoted people have ever manifested towards your Royal
person—by our hopes that the Throne may be long filled by your
illustrious family—and by all that we hold dear as aen and as
Britons, to promote those measures which alone can rescue our
country from anarchy—preserve its peace, and restore its pro-
sperity.
Moved by Mr. AIONTAGUE GORE; seconded by the Rev.
