AT a PUBLIC MEETING of the IN-
HABITANT HOUSEHOLDERS of the CITY of
GLOUCESTER and its Environs, holden at the Shire
Hall, to consider of the propriety of presenting an Address
to His Majesty, and to do such other matters as might he
deemed advisable in the present stage of the Reform Bill,
such Meeting being convened by public Advertisement:
ALEXANDER WALKER, Esq. Mayor, in the Chair :
It was Resolved,
Ist; ;ChM. t'..e Elitefftilly accord the grateful tribute of our
td his Majesty's Ministers, and to the Majorities in both
otiSes of Parliament, who have given their support to the
Reform Bill.
NI. That we view with regret the strenuous and protracted op-
position given to this just and poi tic measure, which we conti.
dently believe to he necessary to the safety and tranquillity of
the country. That though we hail with joy the second reading
of the Bill in the House of Lords, we are apprehensive of the
attempt which may be made by some Members of that House to
defeat or weaken its best and most valuable provisions. That
we contemplate with grief the inattention shown by many Mem-
bers of that branch of the Legislature to the expressed opinions
and prayers of the people of England, and the disposition to
principles of arbitrary and coercive government which their
conduct has evinced.
3d. That an humble Address be presented to his Majesty de-
claratory of our gratitude for his kind and paternal attention to
his people, and praying him, by the just and lawful exercise of
his prerogative, to take such measures as may be necessary to
restore the harmony in opinion and sentiment which ought to
subsist between the majority of the Peers and the nation at
large, and to insure the passing, in its full efficiency, of the Re-
form Bill.

4th. That the Address now read be adopted ; and that the
Right Hon. Lords Sherborne, Ducie, and Segrave, be requested
to present the same ; and the Members for the City and County
be invited to attend on the occasion.
sth. That the Address be signed by the Mayor, on behalf of
the Meeting ; and that the Resolutions and Address be inserted
in The Sun, the Times, and Gloucester Journal Newspapers.
ALEX. WALKER, Chairman.
That the thanks of this Meeting be given to the Right Wor-
shipful the:Mayor, for his able and impartial conduct in the Chair.
" TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
" SIRE,—We, your Majesty's loyal and dutiful subjects, the
Inhabitant Householders of the ancient city of Gloucester and its
environs, beg to express our warmest gratitude for the paternal
care with which your Majesty has watched over your subjects,
and endeavoured, on all occasions, to promote their welfare and
happiness since your accession to the throne. We feel more
particularly grateful for that kind attention to the interests and
wishes of your people evinced in the gracious permission to your
Ministers to introduce the Reform Bill, and for the support and
countenance you have given to those patriotic and able men in
their endeavours to effect a reformation of the abuses and defects
which have too long existed in the system of representation in
the Commons House of Parliament.

We earnestly assure your Majesty, that it is with feelings of
grief we see the obstinate and unreasonable opposition with which
that wise and politic measure, (so just, and so necessary for the
satisfying of your people, and the restoration of their political
rights), has been met by some powerful and interested adversa-
ries—persons who have shown themselves unmindful of the urgent
remonstrances and prayers of the people, and reckless of the dan-
gerous consequences of acting in defiance of public opinion. In
the virulence of their opposition to the petitions of their own
countrymen, and in their general politics, they have shown
themselves not only the opponents of Reform, but have mani-
fested a disposition hostile to all popular rights and the true spirit
of freedom in all countries. They have, therefore, awakened the
apprehensions, and alarmed the fears of your Majesty's subjects,
lest, if at any time being called into office, on account of their
power and influence, their conduct towards the people might be
shaped upon those arbitrary principles which are not only subver-
sive of their liberties, but altogether foreign to and totally incom-
patible with the spirit and temper of Englishmen.
From a dreaded calamity of this kind we implore your Ma-
jesty to save our country, by continuing your gracious support to
your present Ministers, who deservedly possess the confidence of
your subjects, and by ever refusing to call to your councils those
' persons who, by their conduct in opposing the general wishes of
the nation, have inspired your people with a dislike and dread of
the arbitrary principles upon which they would seek to act, if,
unfortunately, they should be called into power.
" We also, with profound deference and respect, beg to assure
your Majesty of our perfect conviction, that if the present Re-
form Bill be made the law of the land, without any such altera-
tion in its provisions as can in any degree impair its efficacy, it
will give satisfaction to your people, and attach their hearts by
indissolulde ties of love and gratitude to your Majesty.
We further most humbly but earnestly implore your Ma-
jesty to make such addition to the Nobility of the realm, as
may be necessary to bring the majority of the Peers to a per-
fect unison with the just feelings, and sentiments of the nation
at large; and above all we implore and pray you, as the Father
of your People, to exercise every lawful prerogative of the
Crown, in securing to the people that just object of their desires,
tht restoration of their political rights, which they confidently
believe the enactment of the Reform Bill would insure; and
your Majesty will ever live in the grateful affections of your
loyal and devoted subjects."
