READING, OCTOBER Si.

A meeting of the inhabit:int:l of this
was held in the town Hall this morning, to k.
the Prokiety of addressing. his MAJESTY on the sub-
ject of the late Convention in Portugal, MARTIN AN-
lotazir, Eici. in the chair. Mr. hfcmcic, in an ,elegant,
nervous, and impressive speech, moved the Address.
He insisted on the utility of addresses in general, and
on 'the necessity of addressing his MAJBSTY on the
present occasion.. He then examined and discussed
the different Articles of the Convention, and main-
'
tained, that the whole was of a nature, demanding
a most rigid investigation ; and involving in it a most
severe responsibility. He lamented that so much
British blood had been shed at Vimeira, to no pur-
pose, except the immortal honour of those brave men
who fought and perished. He defended on broad
grounds the right of petitioning,anct inveighed against
his Majesty's Ministers, for attempting to infringe
upon this constitutional method of conveying the sen-
timents of the people' to the throne, and. to cast a
shade of suspicion and' disaffection on those who
shewed themselvei friends to public enqulry. He
foretold that hiss Ntajesty's present Councillors %.vould.
not long b.: able to keep their Royal Master in
error, and that his Majesty's paternal and generous
bosom would never, when left to its own operations;
and recovered from Ministerial poison, put an unfa-
vourable construction on the petitions of his subjects,
when conveyed to him in terms of duty and respect.
—He' concluded with a hope that the kingdom at
large would, by the multiplicity and unanimity of
their Addresses, dissolve the delusion, which Minis,
ters had for a moment succeeded in creating in the
Royal mind, and would convince his MAJESTY, that
the best support both of the glory and security of his
Throne, must ever rest on the basis of the people's
affection, and that the most ready way to gain that
affection, was to keep open a constant and unobstruc-
ted channel of communication between the Sovereign
an 4 his people-
An approprifte Address was then read, and having
been seconded by Mr. Ovny, was carried in the affir-
mitive,, with op.ly, three dissentient voices, in one of
the most numerous, and respectable meetings ever
regienthered.
