The following Resolutions were unanimously adopted :
1. That this Meeting, under a strong sense of duty to

dily become the Law of the Land.
2. That this Meeting has firm and unchanged confidence
in the Patriotic motive of Earl Grey and his late col-

Country.
3. That a petition be presented to the House of
Commons, imploring them to continue firm to their re-

THE PETITION.

TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF THE
UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND
IRELAND, IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED.
THE PETITION OF THE OWNERS AND OCCUPIERS
OF HOUSES WITHIN THE PARISH OF ST. PETER
AND ST. PAUL, IN THE CITY OF BATH.
HUMBLY SHEWETH,

That your Petitioners approach your Honourable House,
to express our deep sorrow and indignation at the event,
which has driven from the Councils of the King—men,
in whose wisdom and integrity, the people placed the
most entire reliance. We honour the motives which have
impelled them to give up every other consideration for
their country's good. And we give to them our warmest
thanks thst they have stood by their measure of Re-
form, and have fallen with it rather than it should be
mutilated to suit the lase purposes of its avowed enemies.
Though we can look with pity on the reckless infatu-
ation of men, who think to stop the will of the nation, by
the mockery of a nominal Reform, we are deeply im-
pressed with the seriotts dangers into which the country
may be plunged by having such men in his Majesty's
Councils. We can set no limits to the consequences
which may ensue, when the people find that they have
been cheated out of their just hopes, and are likely again
to he placed at the mercy of rulers who can see nothing
desirable or perfect, bat the corruptions under which they
and their families have prospered. Yet, rather thin
submit to a recurrence of the evils un ler which we have
so long groaned, had we no other resource, we would
cheerfully risk our lives to avert such a national calamity ;
but, happily, we are not driven to this necessity, while we
have the safeguard of our liberties in those Members who
have been returned to your Honourable House, the real
representatives of the people.
To you, the Commons of the united kingdom, the majo
rity of whom have nobly redeemed the pledges made to
your constituents, we look for protection in these times of
peril,—to our liberties and rights. You will not, you
cannot, suffer us to be defrauded of that Reform which
you have yourselves triumphantly sanctioned, and ratified
by your votes. We most respectfully, therefore, implore
that you remain firm to your recorded judgment, that you
Buffer no measure of Reform to be palmed upon you by its
pretended friends, one jot less efficient than that which the
nation has unfortunately lost. That you continue to give
your most strenuous support to those who have honestly
supported the people's cause, and that you hesitate not to
exercise the constitutional power with which you are
invested, by stopping all further grants of the people's
money, until that measure of Reform which they even-
tually must have, be established as the law of the land.
And your petitioners will ever pray, &c.
