• LEXTRACT OF. A PRIVATE LETTER.]
LrcHFter u, Friday Morning-
Thinking you would Hill to have slime particulars Of the
fivice that has been acted at this place, I send you the follow-
jog short account :—" The High Bailiff having refused to
call a meeting for the purpose of addressing the King for the
dismissal of his 'Nlinisters, &c.. another Requisition stas ad-
dressed to the Joni,: Bailiff, a mercer and draper, who, in
defiance of the refusal othis superior ottkx, complied, wit
the request of the Requisitionists, and called a meeting for ti:e
purposes avowed. This Unprecedented measure of the Junior
Bailiff surprised every one, particularly when they saw the
paints and mat Ls of those Who signed it. As the object of
the meeting was positively in opposition to the feelings of
every respectable inhabitant of the place, you will ask a his
were -the persons whose wisdom and political judgment called
forth the Compliance of the dottier Bailiff: one was a shim
trey-sweeper; another a discontented Divine, formerly a
school:Da-ter of this place, who • having lately obtain: d a
valuable-situation for one of his sons from the present ad
ministration, is anxious to shcsv him Self possessed of the ra-
dical virtue of gratitude, by producing the precious Addresses,
Resolutions, &c. Besides this Divine and his chimney-
swe.cper's friend, the Requisition was signed Ity an' old servant
of Lord Anson's, and also by the sexton of the parish, the,
town clerk, a maltster, a late radical tallow Chandler, a re-
ti red fanner and other petsrins many of whom have•receiveff
charitalsie donations front the Corporation of
,this city, we
ir.derstand• that artio»ot the signatures 01 the requisitionists,
one eftpiny`er induced Irma - sixteen to twenty of his net:
to affix their, names, and to bring up • the rlar of this'
thectir.g, to form ai address,. ate two Radical Methodists,
•who used all •their exertions, with their fraternity, to swi 11
their numbers, Yon will seer by this enumeration that the
Reqoisitiou Was, and roust have been the work of two or
ittree individuals, %Vhoever theywere, they hate much to
answ•et for, as t heyfiave done (though' happily without the de-
sired effect) aLi they could to spread discontent and delusion
among the lower classes. To rents n, however; to the Junior
Baliff; haring"dalleil the meeting at the Guildhall, the High
Buildiond IJlderoen 'met and determined, almost unanimons
'ly, that the Guildhall should nut be opened to the ragged ra-
dical pirlitieians. This would have placed the Requisitionists
in great difficulty, as the inns and even the outhouses had
lately, on a similar occasion, refused to pert: it such a meet- -
ing In this emergency, my Lord 'Anson 'graciously inter-
fered with-a letter sent express•to a tenant of his, whit!' keeps

a room to be:furnished for the .meeting. This was accui diagtv
