a tremendous attack upon Ministers, for" wishing

thought it very fortunate for the cabal who, as-
sembled the meeting, that, if they its the first

by ehargiug them %%Ws disaffection, they
had also the subterfuge, if the insinuation war not
relished, of shifting their grinind, and declaring
that they merely meant by tie People of England,
that large portion of the community called the
.Spenceon Philmtopherst Mr. Ilendersou, however,.
had no chance with his antagonists, as all the'

by the Majesty of the People with rounds of hissers.

planatory observation:4.-4,01d Grosvenor, it is

terest here. (Hs opinion,, at one lime (front 1789
to 1807) were not' relished by the Disseuters,and
