ESSEX COUNTY MEETING.

A Comity Meeting was held on Saturday, in
pursuance of a Requisition, for the purpose of ad-
dressing his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT,
anti also his Serene Highness the Pi ince of SAXE
CoEOCRG, on the irreparable loss which they and
the nation at huge have sustained in the death.of
the Princess CHARLOTTE of Saxe Cobourg.
At one o'clock the Chair Was taken by JOnN
HALL, Esq. the High Sheriff, who read the Re-
quisition, and shortly explained the object of the
Meeting. He assured the Gentlemen that he
sincerely participated in the
.universal afflic-
tion and regret which the national calamity
they were met to deplore had produced ; and
adverting to the pain which was inseparable from
the discharge of the duties of the (lay, declared it
to be matter of much consolation to have witness•
ed the laudable anxiety the county have evinced,
in embracing the earliest suitable opportunity of
testi!ying the Sentiments of heart-felt regret with
which it was impressed, at the almost irreparable
loss the nat;on haul sustained in the lamented death
of her late,Royal.Highness, the Princess Charlotte
of Saxe Cobourg. The High Sheriff then called
the attention of the 'Meeting to a letter he had
teceived front the Lord Lieutenant of the County,
apologising for his absence : which having been
read, he solicited the earnest attention of the Gen-
tlemen to Mr. C. Tower, who would propose for
their consideration, an Address to his Royal ,

• . .
Highness the Pdtice Regent, in Conformity to the
terms of tt,e Requisition.
Mr. Tow En rose, and after a fewpreparatoeyobservatlons,'
proceeded to explain the reason why the arduous duty of pro-
posing the Address had fallen to his lot. It had been tin in-
tention of Lord St. Vincent, that truly venerable and vene-
rated Nobleman, to move the same; hut it grieved him to
say, that his Lordship had last night experienced a most
dangerous attack of illness, which had not only rendered his
;vtendance at Cliehusford that day impossible, lint God only
icnew whether he would survived the affliction with which.he
was visited. It might next be asked, why Mr. Western
was nut present? the answer was, that at tire advice of
his friends he had departed for the southern part of France,
with a cleat to the recover, of his health, or ite felt satis-
fied that nothing would have given him greater satisfac-
tion than thectitig the County that day. Mr. •ri.wer next pro-
'ceetied, in a very feeling, energetic, and forcible mantntr, to
observe upon the lamentable circumstance which had giren
rise to the County Meeting; he felt much satisfaction in betng
able to disclaim all and every party feeling ; it was a subject
upon which no difference of opinion could possibly exist, and
be theerfore anticipated the most perfect unanimity. They were
met for the purpose of reeorAing their unfeigned sentiments
of condolence, and of testifying the sense they entertained of
the irreparable loss the nation had sustained in the death of
the Princess Charlotte. He adverted to various points as
connected with the subject ; and, after concluding a speech
of 'ntuch merit and ability, proposed an Address, which was
Seconded, in a few words, by Mr. W. P. Honywood.
MoNTAGUE BURGoYNE supported the Address.
The Address was put and carried unanimously, and ordered
to be signed by the High Sheriff, and to he by hint transmit-
ted to his M.kiesty's Secretary of State fur the Home Depart-
ment, to be communicated to his Royal Highness the Prince.
ltegt,nt in such manner as might appear to his Lordship best
suited upon so melancholy an occasion, the County feeling
desirous of avoiding any communication of their condolence
in a way that might be intrusive, or calculated to revive the
painful sensations which must agitate his Rciyal Highness's
mind.

An Address of Condolence was afterwards snored )y Sir.
Jttx Tvtat:Lt,,," and seconded by Nlr. DisNEy, to his Serene
Efightiess the Prince. of Saxe-Coburg, and, with the like de-
licate attention to circumstances, was directed to be( trans,
tinned to Sir It. Gardiner. one of his Highness's Equerries,
cOmmitnicatcd in the usual manner.

Mr: BRAMSTON next moved the Thanks of the 11Teetitag to
the High Sheriff for his very prompt attention to the requi-
Sition,and for his able and impartial conduct in the chair.
