TO THE GENTLEMEN OF THE SENATE OF THE
UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE.

GENTLEMZIr,
THE King has been advised to exercise his prerogative of
dissolving Parliament, and of immediately resorting to the sense
of the people in the election of their Representatives. It has been
repeatedly avowed by his Majesty's confidential servants, tha
this measure is adopted for the purpose of ascertaining
the sentiments of a New Parliament, not upon the general
expediency of some change In the Representation, but upon
the merits of a particular measure of Reform to which bis Majesty's
'Government stand committed, and which, in their opinion cannot
be altered or modified with advantage In any point of essential im-
portance. To that measure so proposed I entertain Insuperable ob.
jections, and I have been called upon by a very large number of
the constituent Body of the University of Cambridge professing'
similar opinions, to offer myself upon the present occasion as a
Candidate for the Representation of the University.

Under ordinary circumstances I should not have ventured to aspire to
this high distinction, and the illness under which I am at present la-
homing, and which may unfortunately preclude me from paying my
personal respects to the members of the Senate, would have been
sufficient to deter me from seeking so arduous a trust. But
the present are not ordinary circumstances ; the consideration of
health—the fear of being charged with presumption--are over-
powered by the deep interest which I feel in the maintenance
of those establishments which are connected with the Univer-

shy, and by a firm conviction that their security is endangered
by that extreme change in our representative system which I have felt
it my duty strenuously to oppose. lam bound, at the same time, to
avow that I am not adverse to the consideration of a temperate measure
of Reform, which, while it extends the basisof the representation, shall...
cure to respectability, intelligence, end wealth, their just influence;'
shall give to no part of the United Kingdom an undue preponderance;
and shall expose to no hazard those venerable establishments in Church
end State, the integrity of which I believe to be essential to the well.
being of all classes of the community.

The grounds upon which I make this appeal, impute upon me the
duty of declaring, that I shall consider my election by the University
on the present occasion, as implying only the devolution of a temporary
trust—and that I shall be prepared to relinquish that trust at any time,
when a candidate may be found better entitled in the general opinion
ef the members of the Senate, to represent the opinions and promote
the welfare of the University.

Aptil 26, 1831.

I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your most obedient bumble servant,
WILLIAM YATES PEEL.
