Majesty an impartial trial. It, therefore, was
but fair that the People of England should come
forward and congratulate her Majesty, that
where so much has been attempted, so little had
teen done. lie remarked on the immense power
and influence opposed to one forlorn woman, and
declared there was more tyranny in the present
proceedings than could be found in the worst act
of Henry VIII. ; for Catherine was prciteoted
by the Court from which she' came, while
,the
present Queen was only alive to her own Royal
Family,- and was pursued by those who were
guilty of more than all that had been imputed to
her. lle bad received t - letter from his worthy
Colleague (`iil'. F. Burdett) who was absent from
illness. Other letters had been -received from
various Gentlemen, whti were desists of attend-
ing the present. Meeting, which, with the 'per-
mission of the company, would now be read.
[fiettE;il from Mr:Wilson, one of the Mem-
bers for the City of London; from S. C. Whit-
breP.4l, the, Member for Middlesex ; and from the
lion. Grey Bennet,' excusing themselves for va-
riousreasous from attending the meeting, were

read.]
Mr. P. Moony: rose. Called on to mount the
table, he complied with the wish of the Meeting
and hoped that, as he was exalted by them,
if he should fall before he had done, he should
meet with their protection. The present pro-
ceeding he • could not help regarding as a
foul conspiracy, and considered his Majesty's
Ministers to be •at the.bottotn of it. It was not
only a conspiracy against the Queen, but it was
a •conspiracy against the State.. On the evi-
dence which had been given, if he were a Juror
acting on 'his oath, he *Mild acquit her Majesty.
The present conspiracy appeared to him to ori-
ginate in a plan to overthrow our domesticity,, and
all that was valuable in the Laws and Consti-
tution of the Country. The two first days of
the Defence, he had been, informed last night on
what he conceived good authority, would disclose
that which would make the two great chiefs—.
the Lords Chancellor and the First Lard of the
Treasurys happy to come forward and say they
had been imposed upon. But he would ask, was
it only those he then addressed who paid the
taxes out of which Ministers received their sala-
ries, who were not deceived 3 He then pro-
ceeded to assert the importance of the liberty
of the press, and remarked, that in the trials
at York and Manchester, he might not be'
quite right as to the places, the Judges had
been so tenacious that they had not allowed
the evidence to transpire; they had wished
the public; to hear nothing but the sentence.—
After some furtht r observations, he wished the.
looms of the manufacturers of Coventry, and the'
tools of the watchmakers and othermechanics, to
be at preSent employed in producing something
that would prove to her Majesty what British in-
dustry could accomplish, when It was not borne
down by the hand of power. He concluded by
moving a string of Resolutions, which declared
the case as it stood at the close of the prOsecu-
tion tended to canfirm the presumption. -enter-
tallied by the Publk in favour of her Majesty—.
that no credible' witnesses bad been examined,
with the exception of Captains Briggs and Pe-
,chell, whose evidence made in favour of the'
Queen—that the foreign witnesses were so.
largely remunerated, that it amounted to a su-
bornation of perjury. Here he stopped the
reading of the Resolutions to speak to the means
possessed by the Government for procuring wit-
nesses. . ,

The remaining Resolutions went to condemn
the conduct of the Attorney-General, and to de-
Scribe the proceedings in the House of Lords to
originate in a conspiracy in which Ministers were
deeply implicated, and for which and other high
crimes they deserved to be impeached—to ap-
plaud the condUct of the Independent Press, and
to propose that an Address of congratulation
should be presented to her Majesty, the parties
presenting it to proceed to her residence in car-.
riages, each drawn by four horses, and accom-
panied by as many Ladies and Gentlemen as
chose to attend.

The Resolutions having been moved, it was

asked-
-4- by seconds' them ?"

Mr. TIIELWALL said he. did—He then ascend-
ed-the table, and addressed the Meeting in sup-
port of the principles on which they :were found-
ed. He had reason to believe, that-other con
spiracies than conspiracies- to charge adultery
were hatching. They were aware that there
:was .amingenious spirit abroad that knew how to
~get up charges of artificial treason, as well as ar-
'tificial adultery, and perhaps many weeks would
not escape, nor even many days, before the charge
of adultery against the Queen might be changed
intO:a' charge of high treason, and the friends of
her. Majesty accused of treasonable practices. lie
would say no..mOre at present on the subject •to
which lie had alluded ; but he called on those
present to remember, that- a warning voice
had been heard, and to be on their guard
against being duped.—He proceeded to comment
on the course Pursued by the Attorney-General,
and contended that in promising to bring forward
witnesses that had not been -brought forward, he
had •negatived hiS own case and proved the in-
nocence of her Majesty.z He concluded by se-
conding six of the - seven. Resolutions, but de-
clining', to second the seventh '(that in favour of
the, press), on account of his being connected,
though in .a very humble. capacity, with that
press, which it was the object of that Resolution
to compliment. •
Mr. HOME condemned the charges preferred
against the. Queen, which, as they had been got
tip in.darkriess, had gone down-in disgrace. He
took the part Which he now took, not because it
was the cause of Caroline Queen Consort that was
to be defended, but because it Was the cause of
the Laws and Constitution of England. •If the
Queen were. as black as he believed her to be
white, still would he contend that every indivi-
dual in the country ought to come
.forward in her
defence, because in her case the Laws -and Con-
stitution of the country had beeß,violated. The
Queen, he maintained, was entitled to all her
