NORTHAMPTON, APRIL 1?, Iso9.

THE Mayor having declined to accede to a Requisi-
don signed by seventeen respectable Householders, to call a
Meeting of the Inhabitants of this Town, to take Into considera-
tion the propriety of thanking GWYLLTM LLOYD Wzaott,Esq.
M. P. for his recent patriotic exertions in Parliament, respecting
the conduct of the late Commander in Chief, a t unterous and
respectable Meeting of the Inhabitants was this day held, pursuant
to Public Advertisement, at the Angel Inn, when, for want of
room, the company adjourned to the and the following
Resolutions were then proposed and agreed to (viz.)

Ist. Resolved unanimously, that the sincere and cordial thanks
of this Meeting be given to GWYLLIrId LLOYD WARDLE, Esq.
M. P. for Oal--hanipton in the county of Devon, for his AT,
independent, and patriotic exertions in instituting and conducting
the Charges against the late Commander in chief. •
2d. Resolved unanimously, that the thanks of this Meeting be
given to Sir FRANCIS By IDETT, Bart. for having seconded the
motion of Mr. Wan DLR.

3d. Resolved unanimously, that the thanks of this Meeting be
given to Lord Viscount ALLTISORP, cne of the Representatives
of this County, for his public-spirited conduct during the late in-
vestigation, and particularly for his constitutional speech, with
which he prefaced the amendment to Mr. BRAGOR BATHURST'S
tnction.

4th. Resolved unanimously, that the thanks of this Meetingba
given to the 123 Independent Members, who divided in levels!
of Mr. WARDLE'S motion, for an Address to the King on the
subject of the late inquiry.

501. Resolved, (with only six dissentients) that it is the opinion
of this Meeting, that the gross and scandalous Abuses that have
recently been exposed and detected, call loudly for Constitutional
Redress and Correction, as the only means left to convince the
People, that the heavy sacrifices they are called upon to make,
are not perverted to base and improper purposes.
6th. Resolved unanimously, That the Proceedings 'of this
Meeting be signed by the Chairman, and that Copies thereof be
sent to G. L. WARDLE, Esq. Sir FRANCIS Bultnavr, Bart. and
Lord Viscount ALTHOILT and.tbat the same be published is the
Northampton Mercury, the County Press, the Morning Chro-
nicle, tie STAR, and the Courier Newspapers.
-1/tb. Resolved unanimously, that the Thanks of this Meeting
be given to the Chairman, for his able and impartial conduct in
the Chair. MICHAEL SMII'II, Chairman. 1

7th, Resolved, with only one Dissentient, That the number of
Placemen and Pensioners having seats in the House of Commons
is a growing evil, contrary t• an antient Resolution of that House,
destructive of the Independence of Parliament, and that the num-
ber ought to be restricted.to certain Officers of State, whose pre-
sence may be expedient in the House of. Commons.
Stb, Resolved Unanimously, That the state of the decayed
Boroughs in the United Kingdom, returning Members to Parlia-
ment, and which have become by lapse of time the private pro-
perty of individuals, is one great cause of the present wkle-ex-
tending deplorable corruption, a.!(1 demands the serious attention
of Parliament, as a mockery of representation.
9th, Resolved, with only three Dissentients, That the restora-
tion of triennial Parliaments agreeable to the Statute 6th William
and Mary, would greatly cheek corruption, and in the words of
the Preamble to that memorable Act, would " tend very much
to the happy union and good agreement of the King and People."
loth, Resolved Unanimously, That the only way to have inde-
pendent men in Parliament, is to send them independent there,
and that the example set by Westminster in the manner of elect-
ing Sir FAA NCH Bo orrr, cannot be too highly commended, and
is worthy to be imitated by all the free Boroughs throughout the
Kingdom.

11th, Resolved (with only three dissentients), That, during
the present Reign every successive Administration has yielded
either to the force or to the temptation of the present system of
Corruption, and the result of every change has been to hold the
People ir. dela.sion, and not to remove, but perpetuate Abuses.
12th, Resolved (with only five Dissentients), That we have no
hopes that his Majesty's present Ministers will ever seriously and
earnestly take in hand the work of Reformition, as the late pro-
ceedinzs in Parliament have fully proved them to be the Ministers
of the Crown only, and not of the People—the Stifters of Inquiry
and the Abettors of Corruption.
A Resolution being then put by the Rev. Dr. VA L PT, and se-
conded by ROBERT HARRIS, Esq. that the Vote of .101 IN SIMEON,
Esq. one of the Representatives of this Borough, in favour of
Mr. ilAustks's Motion, is highly deserving of the Thanks of his
Constituents—was negatived by a great majority.
A Resolution was then proposed by the Rev. Dr. VALPT, and
seconded by THOMAS RING, Esq. " That in order to set the
example of Purity of Representation, it is.unfit for any Elector
of this Borough to accept a Public Dinner or any other gratuity,
directly or indirectly, from his Representatives," which was
carried without opposition.
Resolved unanimously, That the Thanks of the Meeting are
due toTaomAs GLEE!), Esq. Mayor, for the readiness with
which he called t:.e Meeting; for his attention to the businots of
the day; and for his able, impartial, and conoiliating conduct in
the Chair.

Ordered, That the atm* Resolutions be printed in the follow-
ing Papers, viz.:—The Reading Mercury-1 ne Oxford Herald
—The Morning Chronicle-1 he Morning Post—The 1
The ST4a—The Courier, and The Statesman,
.THOMAS GLEED, Chairman.
