OXFORD COUNTY MEETING.

The Meeting called for the purpose of consi-
dering the propriety of presenting a Loyal Ad-
dress to the King, expressing the attachment of
those subscribing it to his person and to the Con-
stitution, was held yesterday. The City, in con-
sequence, presented a scene of
.unusual bustle
and animation. In the course.of the morning' a
'Considerable crowd assembled in front of the
Town Hall. Those who formed it continued to
arnose themselves from time to time by: shouting
" The Queen, the Queen 1" when any person
whose political sentinients were known, or, sup-
posed to be known, approached. The Gentle-
men connected with the London Press, and a few
other individuals, ware accommodated with seats
in the Hall before the doors were thrown open to
the public generally. From half-past eleven the
ternolt continued to increase, and the calls of
" The Queen ! The Queen !" were incessantly
repeated. At a few minutes before noon Lord
Holland Mad-e his appearance in the Hall, and
took his seat on the right of the Chair. At ten
minutes after twelve the- High Sheriff arrived,
and Aortly-aftnr the doors were opened. An
immense rush . then .took place ; the shouting
crowds ran- hastily up stairs, and In' a few mo-
ments the Hall was completely filled. The Earl
of Macclesfield took his seat on the left of the
'Ugh Sheriff, and the Earl of Jersey entered
shortly after. The tumult in the Hall became as
loud as it had previously been in the street, and
the heat was -so 'great that a general call was
.riade for the windows to be opened. Some dif-
ficulty- Waving occurred in pulling down one or
more of the‘ sashes, the glass was instantly de-
molished. The parties engaged in this work
were loudly called upon to pull the sashes down,
as it was supposed the difficulty which had-arisen
proceeded from an attempt to force them up.
The calf,' however, was but partially attended
to, and sticks were heard breaking the panes in
various. parts of the Hall for a considerable time
after the call had been made.

•
At about twenty minutes before ones silence
being obtained, the proceedings commenced in
the usual form. Arnow,:, the Noblemen and Gen-
tlernen present, were noticed the following:—
Sir jV. E Taunton, Lord Holland, Lord Jerse!, Oldield
Bowles, Esq, Read, Esq, A. Annesley, Eig,r Lord

The Iliott SHERIFF opened the business of the
day by stating the purpose of the Meeting, and
reading the Requisition. He described the re-
quisition to have been most numerously and re-
spectably signed by the Noblemen, Clergy, and
Freeholders of the County. He called on the
Meeting to give every one (whatever his political
sentiments might be) a fair, patient, and impar-
tial hearing-. _ _

Mr.' [text, then came forward to move the Ad-
dress. The times, he remarked, on which they
had fallen, would no longer allow them to enjoy
in private that generous glow Of gratitude-to the.
Most High,"'which a just sense of the numberless
blessings bestowed on them could not fail to ex.
cite. The Patriot was now called by the circum-
stance's of the times to reave the contemplative and
come into action ; and it became his duty on all
proper occasions to prove to the county, to the
kingdom, and the world, that because. he feared
God, he-honoured the King, and all in authority
under him Hisses here interrupted the speaker.)
The RIGII SHERIFF begged that every Gentle-
man might be -allowed "a fair hearing. His re-
quest, he said, was not confined to One side or the
other, but extended-to all parties.
This Address was followed by a cry of " hear
him," but the tumult -continued, and Lord Hol-
land was called open by the-crowd.
Lordogonr.,oi-n said he had no right to address
to therworie syllable till they had heard the Gen-
tleman 'who was in possession of the Meeting.
He was-flattered by their desire to hear him, but
it was impossible forlita to address them till the
Gentleman who .was 'on his leas had given him
something to answer. As a Christian, he eras
bound to draw maxim's fin- the regulation of his
conduct -from Holy writ, and in that volume
which had been furnished for the direction, in-
struction, and consolation of mankind, he read
these words—" Let every soul yield obedience
to the-higher powers." •
Here anew-interruption occurred.
Lord Hor.naNn said, Whatever the.sentiments
of the Meeting Might be; they ought to. rernern-
her that the Gentleman near him had invited
them there. If they did not like the dish pre-
pared for them, they ought at least to let the
covers be removed that they. Might see- what it
was that had- been provided for them. After-
wards he and those near him might try to furnish
a sauce that would make 'them relish it better..
For the honour of the City, for their Civvn houour,
and for the honoUr of freedom or debate, he hoped
they, would hear the- Gentleman.
The 14:art of JERSEY called on the Meeting to
give the Speaker a fair hearing.
Mr. READ repeated from Sl'.ripture the maxims,
" Let every soul yield obedience to the higher
powers, for all, power was from God, and- -these
who respected it not, sinned against a, divine on,
dinance." .He was a friend to social order, civil
government, and religious toleration. He had
been attached .to various *denominations of Chris-
tians, with much benefit to hirnself—(" no doubt
of that")—WhO were sinctr.dY 'attached. to the
laws and constitution of their 'country, and he
:new that he sppke their sentiments, when he
said the predominant power in this country was
tplerant.
.lle Wished to see no experiments made
with Church and State, but was rather disposed
to rally round the Altar, the Cross, and -the
Throne, which gave him the enjoyment of true,
ciyil; and religious liberty. There were those
Oiaposedto him who talked a great deal of Liber-
; but opposed these in sentiment, and a broken
window or broken head would soon prove that
they had, tyranny in their hearts.—(Hisses.)—
Was it necessary for him to add, that with such
sentiments as these, he felt it a high honour to

vain.

be associated not only with many Men of rank
and talents in the county, but with many an hon-
est freeholder, to vote an Address, expressing
their attachment to the Throne, and their ab-
horrence of the blasphemous publications, which
had been so largely disseminated by those who,
not content with being the enemies to their re-
pose here, would rob them of their hope of salva-
tion hereafter. He should now proceed to move
the Address. While reading the Address, he
was asked—

" Are you a Freeholder Yes."
Another voice said, every Freeholder in Ox-
fordshire was loyal.
Mr. READ said, he was glad of it.
" Why do you not 'confute the blasphemies
circulated ?"—" We are at it now."

These questions and remarks caused much
mirth in the Hall. At the end of the Address
a new shout of " The Queen! the Queen !" was
set up: .

Mr. STRATTAN said, it had been very pro-.
perly observed .by the Noble Lord (Holland),
that they should first ascertain what the dish was
that was to be served up to them before objecting
to it, and then they would know whether or not
they liked it.. Now he would tell then, -what
the dish wasit was a dish of loyalty, with con-
stitutional sauce.—(", None of your sauce.")—
He wished to serve up to them the roast beef of
Old England, and no. dish of French frogs. He
was disposed to, serve up to them Old English
principles, and not French Jacobinical doctrines.
—(Disapprobation.)—They might as well hear
him at once, for he was not to be daunted by
either noise or. clamour. Though those opposed
to him might be disposed to break the heads and
windows of the individuals froth whom they dif-
fered, that should not prevent him from speaking
his mind. It was said, the loyalty of that county
.was so well known, that no expression of it was
necessary at this time. He was of a different
opinion. He thought it ought to be expressed
now, as it could not be expressed too strongly or
too often. Though a similar declaration wasl
made in that Hall within the short space of 1.5
months, the spirit of hatred to all authority, and
of opposition to all revealed religion having con-
tinued to shew itself, a new declaration became
necessary: He considered these principles to be
not English, but French, and he detested and
abhorred them from his heart.—(Disapprobation.)
The supporters of these revolutionary doctrines
seized every topic of public distress, to make it
the vehicle. for promulgating them, with a view
to work on the passions of the lower classes, well
knowing that if their
.reason and common sense
were appealed to, the wretched sophistry would
be seen through and exposed. The course he
had described had been preserved for the last 30
years: It was in the year 1792,,when the seeds
of irreligion, sowed by Voltaire and the French
philosophy, first took root in this country, and
the war in which we were obliged to engage af-
forded too fine an opportunity to be allowed to
pass by those who wished to destroy all law—all
constitutions—and all religions. These princi-
ples had been successfully resisted in England,
but in Ireland they had produced rebellion and
-bloodshed ; and the Irish bad been seduced by
the cry of Catholic Emancipation to invite French
Armies to their shores. He had now no- objec-
tion to a Meeting being called to represent to the
King any grievances of which they might have to
complain, but when he saw an advantage taken
of these by known traitors, he would resist their
designs to the utmost of his power. That the
Freeholders of Oxfordshire should be disposed
to .support the views of traitors was impossible,
but of . all the delusions that he had ever wit-
nessed, that into which from a cry he had heard
in that room, it appeared many there had fallen,
seemed to him the most wonderful. They had
seen those who were known to be hostile to all
Governments ; those who were levellers in prin-
ciple and traitors in practice, arrogating to them-
selves exclusive loyalty. But what loyalty was
it ? It was not loyalty to their Sovereign, to whom
by every laws human and divine, they owed alle-
giance, it was not loyalty to the Constitution.
[Here it was hinted to the Speaker, that bre-
vity was necessary, or every one who wished to
address the Meeting,. would not be able to
speak.]
Mr. STRATTAN said, he would not detain the
meeting ten minutes, if they would hear him
quietly ; but if they would not do so, he should
occupy them all day. The loyalty of those he
had described was not loyalty to the King and
Constitution, but it was loyalty to that Woman
whoH(Here he was. again Interruptectby hisses
and shouts of ." The Queen ! the Queen!" and
,the tumult became louder than it had previously
been.)

The HIGH SHERIFF• called for silence, but in

Lord Iro-T,t,Aivn • then attempted to obtain a
hearing, and after some time succeeded. If
the reasons he had before given were not sufficient
to engage the Fleeting to listen in silence, the
reason just supplied by the Gentleman near him,
ought to prevail. They would get through the
business of the day
.sooner by giving every one
a fair hearing. If they. did.not do this, it would
be said, by their adversaries that they carried
their point by noise and clamour.
Mr. STRATTAN denied that he had adversaries.
He was diSpoSed to hold out the hand of good
fellowshiii to every Englishman.
Lord llocr.ANn thought it. singular that the
Gentleman should deny that he had adversaries,
and make the statement. he had made, after
libelling the people of England for a quarter of
an hour.

Mr. STRATTAN resumed.—What he meant was,
he owed no to any man on account of his
political sentiments, if he were but loyal to his
King and Country—(Cries of 44 The Queen, the
Queen.")—ffe again animadverted on the revo-
lutionary principles introduced into this country
from France, which had seduced so many who
were once well .meaning -und loyal men to be
traitors to their King and enemies to their coun-
try.. Those who seduced them would-also, if
possible, lead them to be disloyal to their God.
The mischief done by these persons he instanced
in the avidity with which the blasphemous pro-
ductions of doubly convicted Atheists were

. .
bought up: Treason and Atheisit had been ex-
tensively ciftuhited, and it therefore behoved
that,meetin9; to declare to their Sovereign that
they remained untainted. He could wish to see
meetings called for etch a purpose every week,
and whenever uch were called, he would attend
'them. He admitted that great distre3s existed,
in the country, and for one he would be ready to
attend any meeting that might be called to re-
present their grievances to the Throne. BUt the
question now wasovere they loyal, of were they
not ?—lf they were, he thought they (-night to
vote the present Address, which he therefore
begged leave to second.
The. Earl of JERSEY declared he would not
follow the last speaker (who he believed bore
ill-will to no man), through the stages of the
French Revolution, but would apply himself at
once to the question. He thought the proposed
Address unnecessary in the way in which it had
been put. He did not see that there was any
occasion for declaring_ their abhorrence of blas-
phemous publicationS. It was his belief that these
were held in such abhorrence by the people- ge-
nerally, that he who wished to delude them,
would succeed better by means of the hypocrisy
of Cromwell, than by the impiety of Carlile. That
blasphemous publications had appeared—that
there were wicked men in the country he did not
deny. But the evil complained of had been
greatly increased by the measure; of his Majesty's
Ministers, and. especially by their conduct to-,
wards the Queen of England.
The Earl of • MACCLESFIELD spoke to 'order,
and submitted that the case of the Queen was not
before the Meeting.

The Earl of JERSEY insisted that he was no
out of order.

Lord Hoir.ANn'contended that what had been
stated by his Noble Friend was not to be object-
ed to, after, what they had- beard of Voltaire,
of the French Rei.olution, and the Rebellion in
Ireland. The proceedings against the Queen
formed, ih his opinion, a part of the 'case to be
submitted to their consideration. He added,
that he had just heard with much satisfaction that
the High Sheriff over-ruled the objection which
been taken.—(Applanse.)
The-Earl of J ERSEY'said he opposed the Address
considering it to carry with it au expression of
approbation of the measures of Ministers. He
censured the conduct of Government in the va-
rious stages of the late proceedings. A Bill of
Pains and Penalties was. not in all instances un-
constutitional as a measure of State policy, but
he wished the State policy to he shown. Minis-
ters, it appeared, were the Prosecutors, and they
had said that greater advantages were afforded
to the Queen than were ever conceded to 'any
other individual under prosecution. But what
were these advantages ? They amounted but to
a permission to cross-examine a second time such
animals as the perjured Majocci; the ungrateful
Dumont, the camelion Sacchi, and (if they could
have caught him) the renegade Rastelli. After
some further remarks on the case of the Queen,
he called the attention of the Meeting to the de-
pressed state of agriculture. That distress proved
there was something wrong. Ministers might not be
able to remove the evil altogether, but they might
pay some attention to the petitions presented on
the subject, and they might adopt measures of re-
tyenchment. lie concluded by moving an amend-
Meta, which went to condemn the late proved:
ings against the Queen, to call for measures. cal-
culated to tranquillize the public mind on that
subject, and to pray that the distresses of the agri-
cultural classes might. be speedily taken into con-
sideration.
The Rev. WM. FILMED. seconded the•amend-
men t.

Mr. PEERS expressed regret at finding persons
putting themselves forward flow, for the first
time as Freeholders, to introduce a difference of
opinion into the County. He wished to conciliate
all parties. He denied that the charges prefer-
red against the requisitionists in a manifesto (or
hand-bill) which had been circulated were just.
He, for one, disclaimed all hostility to the Queen
and he denied that he entertained any wish for
the postponement of an inquiry into the existing
distress among the, agricultural classes, .but the
present did not appear to him to be the time at
which that question should be taken into consi-
deration. He wished if it were possible to em-
body a part of the amendment with the original
Address, so as to prevent further agitation of the
questions now under discussion.

Lord HOLLAND said it was true (as had jast
been observed,) that he now appeared for the.
first time among them as a Freeholder of the
County: :Not having taken any part in their
proceedings, and not having lived in that County
since he resided in their beautiful City for the
purposes of educatiOn (now, unfortunately, some
years ago,) he had to apologize for appearing
among them that day," If; however, he came to
the banquet with an tniweicome ( as he feared he
was to some) he did not come an unbidden guest.
He had been invited to attend by the High She-
i•iff, who filled the Chair so honourably, and as it
appeared to him, so impartially, and on an occa-
sion so peculiar -as the present, he had
thought it. his duty tO:attend. He meant to treat
no set Of men in the County with disrespect. if
the Noble Earl, whO held the high situation of
Lord
.Lieutenant of . the County, and his
brother requisitionists, thought the Address they
had proposed necessary, they did their duty in
calling the meeting. With the exception of a
few words which his Noble Friend had moved
should be omitted, he concurred with the Ad-
dress. . He merely objected, to what was said on
the subject of blasphemous publications, because
they had nothing' in proof before them on this
subject. They ought to be cautious how they im-'
puted motives to those from whom they differed.
The Gentleman who had moved this, address,-
had advanced doctrines which Parliament for
more than a century had regarded as highly trea-
sonable and seditious. To fear GOd and honour
-the King, was a maxim written in every Eng:-
lishman's heart; but that they were to submit
toull in power under the King, was a new prin-
ciple in religion. • They were taught to pray for
the King, and they were used to pray for the
Queen But, would any man say they were or-
dered by the word of God to submit to the mea-

sures of Ministers whatever they might be? He
wished to know how those who held such opi-
nions could prove themselves loyal subjects to
the House of Brunswick ? If resistance in no
case was justifiable, then had jadies the Second
and his posterity been cruelly injured. When
the Gentleman near.,him had talkdd of French
`princi~l s, he had tb.ongtt (he meant -no inci-
vility)' tat he-wat.S out' t 3 giai his feffim-ivliv
had moved the Address a good drubbing. For the
principles that he had advanced were French,
were those which prevailed under Louis X UV. Il e
would chew the• evil consequences of not telling
the King what they thought from what occur-
red in the early part of the reign of James the
SeCond; He on his accession was extremely
poPiilar because he had triumphed over those who
were branded with the names of Levellers and
RepubliCao: He was particularly' well With.
the Church of. England. Addresses were got up
in all partS of the kingdom, to congratulate him
on his coming to the Crown, The .clergy, how-
ever, with all their regard for the King, had one
small uneasiness on the stibjeCt of his being a
Catholic or a Papist. If any due proposed to
give him a hint on this subject.at any of the
Meetings that were called, it was over-ruled, and
it was said--" No, no, let. us put in mithing but
what is loyal and dutiful ;" and nothing but
sugar words were supposed to be loyal. What
was the consequence ? King-James on receiving
these, probably said, " where is the jealousy
which I have heard the people:entertain of me
as a Papist ? They have Surrendered their
apprehensions on this subject, , and they will
surrender , their liberties as easily." The
conduct then pursued by those who addressed
the King, he believed encouraged James to commit

hose acts which finally produced the Revolution.

He proceeded to argue; that on the present oc-
casion to carry up au Address to the King-, witl►
out giving any opinion on the topics embraced by
the amendment, would he to mislead the King, as
to the state of public opinion. lie would now tell

them a story which he had picked up in London.
He had seen a loyal Address prepared by the
people of Hackney, which expressed great zeal
in the cause of religion. But the second name
was Zachariah Levi, of Stamford Hill. This
might be the name of some person converted from
the errors of Judaism. But the next name was

that of Mr. Rothschild, the Great Jew Loan
Contractor. lie was o,e of those who, from dread
of the great danger to which our hioly Church
was exposed, came forward in this alarming mo-
ment to defend it. Ilis name also appeared to
another Address of a similar character. Now, it
was clear, that he must have signed the paper,
not knowing what it was, or he must have, signed
it insincerely. When Jews signed documents of
this description, where loyalty and religion were

in the front, it was not unnatural to su'pect that
profit was in the rear. He, at great length, de-
fended the introduction of the several topics em-
braced by the amendment, and maintained that,
if blasphemous publications had increased in the
proportion of ten to one, religious publications
had increased in the proportion of two hundred

to one. The quickness of some people in dis-
covering blasphemy, reminded him of a story of
a Lady of very high quality, who some years ago
travelled in Italy. She was a very virtuous and
discreet lady. She visited Sir W. Hamilton, and
went out with 'him one day in a boat in the bay
of Naples, whore, as is very common in fine wea-
ther, a great number of naked children were bath-
ing. The Lady, who was very modest, held up
her fan and looked very unhappy. Sir William,
who was a little bit of a wag, upon this remark-
ed. "It is indeed very shameful that naked
girls should bathe here in such numbers."—
" Girls !" exclaimed the Lady, " they are naked
boys.".—" 0 !" replied' Sir William, " then your
Grace did look!"—(A laugh.)—Thus it was with
those Rho most condemned blasphemy, they
were the persons who were most on the alert
to find it.

Mr. TAUNTON' (Recorder•of Oxford) agreeing
with much of what had fallen from the Noble
Lords aitd Rev. Gentlemen who had supported
the Amendment, begged to state his reasons for
favouring the. original address.
[Here a loud burst of disapprobation over-
powered. the voice of the Speaker.]

Lord HOLLAND implored the meeting to give
the Gentleman a patient hearing. At the Bed-
ford Meeting, which he had lately attended,
there were but two dissentient hands held up.
One of these belonged to an honeA villager (a
miller), and the freeholders had patiently heard
him. Nothing did that meeting so much honour
as their conduct in this instance. If they did
not listen to every one, their final decision would
be worth nothing. ,
Mr. TAUNTON resumed. He thanked the No-
ble Lord for his interference, and proceeded to
examine the Amendment. The Noble Earl, in
his Amendment, had said nothing o❑ the momen-
tous subjects of Parliamentary Reform and Ca-
tholic Emancipation. Why were these omitted,
but that they were irrelevant to the business be-
fore them; and these being admitted', why should
other irrelevant matter be introduced. Ile de-
clined going into the case of the Queen, and con-
tended, that whatever might be the opinion, as to
the guilt or innocence of her Majesty, the inquiry
was, at all events, a full one, and'the trial a fair
one. He proceeded to comment on the Amend-
ment, when he was interrupted by the cry of
" Loaves and fishes." He replied to this insi-
nuation by asserting his own independence of
mind. Ile wished to know how the Noble Earl
could reconcile himself to the belief that the
amendment was necessary. Could he Or his
Noble Friend believe that the proceedings
against the Queen were likely to be revived
He did not suppose that they could entertain
such an idea. Could he then propose it but for
the purpose of irritating and wounding the feel-
ings of the King, or for that of dividing the opi-1
nions of that meeting ? The Noble Earl denied
by his gesture, that he bad any wish to wound
the feelings of the King. He believed him, but
still he was of opinion that the Amendment
would not, fail to have that effect, He very
ably discussed the other subjects touched upon in
the Ainendment, and shewed that it was Jaot in
the power of Parlijament to afford the country

acted thus, it WaFi right that others should make

The NIGH SHERiri then proceeded to put the
question._ . .

Lord Ifor.r„tNa addressed the meeting in ex-
planation of the questioti ou which they we-n.t:
about to decide.

It was.aAed if the Freeholder; who were pre-'
sent might not be septirated from the other• per.;
sons who were in the Hall.

Many voices answered 44 Yes."
A discussion of some length took place as td
the way in which this could. be effected,

Lord HoLLAND said the present was, whethe.r,
rightly or not, he would not say, a meeting of
freeholders. A late Act of Parliament seemed,
in his judgment, almost to require that rs
should be called at the same time.---(Loud rp=
plause at the lower end of the hall.)---At thia
meeting, however, none but freeholders ought to
vote, and he hope.ci all others world abstain fro:a
holding up their hands.

The question wars then put. Very few hands
were held up for the Address in the body of -thy
Hall. There was ,a large show at the upper end
of it. The amendment was decided by the She-
riff to be carried' by a large majority.
A protest against this deciiion ii;as banded td
the Sheriff,,on the groifnd aka the majority of
those who, had voted were not freeholders.
Thanks were given to the High. Sheriff, ant -
three cheers for Lord Iforianii; and about five
o'clock the Meeting broke op.

FOR THE SUN.

Ma. Enrron—An impartial observer of the
political state of this Country, who has at heart
alone its welfare, unbiassed by expectation of
promotion for his sentiments or reward for his
services, must naturally. hear with regret and
alarm the rumours of dissentious and collisions
between the Members of the Aristocracy, espe-
cially those who form the Council of the Nation.
In, the heat and confusion of opinions in the pre-
sent day, it is still more lamentable to hear ru-
mours of domestic quarrels still arising among.
the Royal Blood ; because, if the Royal Familf
do not feel the necessity of harmony ameng them
selves, it will be in vain that honest anicoura,
geous men endeavour to support their 'Throne
for when they open a breach in their own Esta-
blishment, there are others always ready to widen
that breach. "'A House divided against itself
cannot stand." One party will urge on the one
side, and another the other side, until, by the.
blind impetuosity of both, the whole will be

portance of unanimity and good` example, but
maintain the one and show forth the other,
the tie will break that has iu former times bound
them togetlwr and held them on the Throne; then
they will fall asunder to destruction. They must
not imagine the temper of the Country is never to

be ruffled—that the Country will everlastingly"
thQm to settle their differences, which ge-
nerate in themselves. The Nation has been
often tr:ed iu its fidelity to the Throne and
the Altar—but the time pay be the next
when it shall have been tried once too often,—
it will be too late for the disunited Mem-

bers of 'Royalty to seek to join their hands'
in amity, when the darkness of revolution shalt
have involved them in ruin—to reunite themselves

in onebody, on one Throne. But if fro► un-
controllable circumstances disunion u►ust take
place among them,-. let their troubles be not so
glaringly exposed to their cou►►try by themselves.
