Mr. PITT in answer, said he had to state distinctly
that repeated applications had been made to the 4.

The Landlord then made his appearance, r
expressed his regret for what had taken place, t 2
endeavoured to explain how it had arisen; but fro*
his being uaused i:yrhaps to address a large assemliy,
hi; explanation was defective, in those parts pm

After a short interval,

Mr. HODIMUSE came forward. They had proved
themselves irresistible as enemies—he hoped to GOD
they would not prove themselves inesistible u
friends. He was directed by Mr. Percy to assure
them, that whatever disturbance had taken place was
owing to a misunderstanding between himself, as
Acting Secretary, and the landlord. They hadheard
the landlord say, that whatever confusion hadarissa
he was sorry for it ; and, on the part of Mr. Percy,
he was authorized to tell them also, that aluterer
confusion had arisen, he was sorry for it. They had

this occasion, to allude to any of the motives whis.l

ought to bear in mind, that the sheets were at that
very moment still open, which were ready to carry
abroad calumny against them as far as the winds of
Heaven could carry it—(Appleux.) He entreated
them not to play into the hands of their vile and b...::
enemies, who were only strong
.through their weak-
ness. The cause of their enemies was nothing, and
their candour was worth nothing; and they merely
backed about for occasions for misleading them first,
that they might abuse them afterwards—(.lpieuae.)
He was but an humble individual, but they might
depend upon it, there was not a man among them
1 who partook more in the trisimpl:s of the day ; aad
he was therefore the snore sorry to see it sullied b 7

After the acclamations had ceased--
F3r FRANC:3 BCRDETT rose. He said, he felt to-
totalsv imablt to make a due return to them and the
iahabitarsts of this great metropolis, for the testimo-
nies of oteetn, regard, and affection which were on
various occasions manifested towards him, and at no
one time more than on the present occasion. He had

mons House of Parliament—and at that meeting he
lad advanced those principles which he had ever
ore maintained, and which, modified according to
timmistances and times, he had always done every

it VD proud to call his friend, had told them in a
toner which was highly gratifying, that it was be-
one, yiace his first connection with them, he had
adhered to the same principles, he was now elected
for a third time their Representative. He was war-
aced in considering the efforts of this Gentleman

mony of approbation of the conduct he had held, as
veil Is of their courtesy—(applause).—lf this was

ming to promote their best interests—App/ause)—

and of the Purity of Election, was at stake, both
from a regard to his own dignity and theirs, and the

—But still the mention of Reform at all by thisMi-

sister, in his Address to the Electors of liownshire,

was a circumstance which afforded grounds for con-
gratulation to the advocates of Refortu, because it
proved that even he was sensible of the general feel-
ing of the British people in favour of Reform, and
that some concession must be lade to that feeling.
. .

The only public man, indeed, in the Empire, wlio
seemed adverse to Reform in any shape, or to any
extent, was Mr. George Canning. For this Gentle-
man has, as it appeared from a speech recently pub-

. . . . .
lislied, deprecated every attempt at a Reform in the
Commons House of Parliament. This speech pur-
potted to have been delivered at Liverpool, and was,

it was evident, reported with very peculiar care.—
Upon this speech he felt it necessary to make some
comment, as it was addressed to a popular meeting,
whose sanction it seemed to have received at the close

of a popular election. For the election at Liverpool
wat in a great measure popular, although it was not
difficult to account for such a degree of Ministerial
influence in that town as very materially to interfere
with the free exercise of the popular sentiment. The
speech was, he observed, very generally published,
especially through the diurnal press, the far greater
part of which was entirely subject to the will of Mi-
nisters, and trumpeted forth as a complete answer
truly to the arguments of all the Reformers ; therefore
he thought it proper to take some notice of this speech.
Here the Worthy Baronet entered into an analysis of
the speech of Mr. Canning, and he commenced with
animadverting upon the assertion of the Right Hon.
Gentleman, that the last war had been productive of
great manufacturing and commercial prosperity ;
not, however, as the Right Hon. Gentleman admit-
ted, of a permanent or wholesome prosperity,
,but of
a prosperity peculiar to itself." But the fact was,
that there was nothing in this " peculiar prosperity"
which was not injurious to the general interests of
the country. There was no wealth acquired by indi-
viduals through the war, which was not drained
from the natural legitimate channels of public in-
dustry and happiness. The gun maker and the caster
of cannon, with a few other manufacturers, profited,
no doubt, by the war, but then this profit was with-
drawn from the other classes of the community. So,
too, the owners of privateers derived wealth from
war by proceedings which, if it were not for war,
would be deemed acts of the most outrageous atro-
city. Such was the peculiar prosperity derivable
from war. But there was no crime whatever which,

as well as war, was not the source of peculiar pro-
sperity. For example, forgery was the cause of pa
culiar prosperity—(laughter and applauses). But
the end of this peculiar prosperity was to lead the
criminal engaged in it to the scaffold, and he believ-
ed that no great public regret would have been felt
if the consequence of the war had been to lead its ori-
ginators to the gallows--.(applauses). If such were
the result, he, with others, might perhaps be ready to
concur with Mr. Canning in applauding the peculiar
prosperity of the war—(laughter and applauses).—
When the Right Hon. Geneeman talked of the pri.
vations of peace, he must have been aware that he
was pressing an absolute absurdity upon his audience,
and still more when he dwelt upon what he called
the extravagant expectations .of those whe sought
particular results from that peace. For no one could
or did expect that peace would produce any such ex-
traordinary result ; for instance, as paying the na-
tional debt, or reducing the taxation necessary to pay
the interest upon it, or that it vrould put an end to
privations. No—the war had continued too long, and
produced too much incumbrance, to justify any such
expectation. But the peace ought at least to have
prevented any farther accumulation of public debt,
or any farther continuance of war expenditure. How
then would the Right Hon. Gentleman account for
the continuance of war expenditure, and its conse
quent public privations, up to the third year of peace?
The privations occasioned by whatwas called a sud-
den transition from war to peace thould not surely
continue se long to afflict the country. But the
Right Honourable Gentleman assigned another rea-
son for our national privations, what he described
as—" the superabundant population, which was the
bar vest of a long war." This phrase, however, he
(Sir Francis) declared himsely unable to comprehend.
The Right Hon. Orator was reported to be quite a
master of language, but he must say that the Right
Hon. Gentleman must be somewhat more explicit to
render intelligible to plain minds what was the mean-
ing of a " population the harvest If a long tear"—
(lemghter and applauses). In this speech the Right
Hon. Gentleman, addressing himself, it appeared, to
three hundred of his friends, after an election, swag-
gered much about the glorious results of our Consti-
tution as it at present existed, adding, that nothing
but some malignant influence could mar our happi-
ness. But who could be ignorant of the nature and
operation of that malignant influence? The impro-
per construction of the House of Commons—the in-
adequate representation of the people in that House,
was the cause of all our evils. This it was which oc-
casioned our original engagement in an unjust and
unnecessary war; arid this it was which entailed
upon the country such monstrous establishments in
the time of peace. This was really the malignant
influence at which it did not suit the purpose of the
Right Hon. Gentleman directly to point—(applause).
But some time afterwards the Right Honourable
Gentleman let the cat out of the bag. For in com-
plaining that he was called the friend of war, he re-
marked, that there was great advantage belonging
to the war—that during its continuance the two great
Parties in the State were divided upon the question
' of war Cr peace, but that the line of demarcation
now was between those who were anxious to destroy
I and those who endeavoured to maintain the Ccnsti-
' tution of the country—that was, in plain English,
between the advocates and the enemies of Reform.

"Hon. Gentleman adverted to what he called a new
sect of Philosophers, who suspected the existence of
some defects in the Constitution of the House of Com-
mons. But could any man acquainted with our
history call those who suspected these defects a new
sect? Was it not the language of Bolingbroke and
Swift, that there was something in the Constitution
of the House of Commons mote dangerous to the
liberties of the People than even the conduct of the
Stuarts? But was not the same language held by
Lord Chatham, by Lord Camden. by Mr. Pitt, before
he became a Minister, by the Duke of Richmond, by
Sir George Saville, by Sir Wm. Jones, and by hint
who was greater than all of them put together, by
Jeremy Bentham—(loud and long-continued plaudits)?
Did not these celebrated men suspect that there was
something rotten in the House of Commons ; but was
there any man now alive of common observation and
candour, who could say that there was any thing
really sound in the greater part of that Assembly ?
(Applause.)—The Liverpool Orator next alluded to
the language of the Reformers with respect to the
King and the Peerage. He stated truly, that there
was nothing in that language disrespectful to either;
and after such an admission, how could the Right
Hon. Gentleman approve of the late prosecutions for
High Treason, or sastain the Reports of the several
Green Bags ?—(Applauses.)—But the Right Hon.
Gentleman complained of the disposition of the Re-
formers to abuse the House of Commons, which dis-
position was, in fact, nothing more than to put an
end to the corruptions of the House of Commons,
and to the dominion of such men as Lord Castle-
reagh anti the Right Honourable Gentleman himself.
The Right Hon. Gentleman was, forsooth, angry
with the people for speaking so familiarly of the
House of Commons; but how could any remonstrance or ex-
postulation on the part of the people with those who were called
their Representatives be deemed unbecoming? The Right Ho-
nourable Gentleman, however, admitted, that no improper li-
berty was taken by the Reformers with either the Sovereign or
the Peers, while very incautious epithets were bestowed upon
larelgn Sovereigns and Autocracies. But could not the Right
Honourable Gentleman in candour feel that this was owing to
the superior character of our Sovereign and Peers to those of the
Continent. No • the Right Honourable Gentleman would not
briao candid; but he assumes, that if the House of Commons
were Reformed, the King and the Peers would be speedily de-
posed ; and that therefore to abuse them was not at present an
object with the Reformers. Was the Right Hon. Gentlemaa,
however, not aware of the facility with which Kings and Peers
were dismissed by the Ilouse of Commons constructed upon the
present plan? He (Sir Francis Burdett) would not say that
such dismissals were improper; but the question now was,
whether the Throne would be more secure resting upon the good
opinion and good-will of the people at large, or upon the nar-
row basis of a corrupt Borough-mongering House of Commons
--(Apple se)?—He did not wish for a House of Commons such
as Mr. Canning described, the unreasoning instrument of the
public will, nor did he wish for a House of Commons which
should be the unreasoning instrument of the Minister's will, as
kit was at present. With this House of Commons the Reformers
were in battle array, because they knew the improper rummer
In which it was constituted, and the improper conduct which
that House in consequence pursued. The object of the Re-
formers was, that all the people should enjoy the protection of
public liberty, while each should base scope enough far the
maintenance of his own individual right, and for the pursuit of
his own individual interests. After some other comments upon
Mr. Canning's speech, the worthy Baronet strongly recommen-
ded a close union among the Reformers; that an allowance
should be made for differences of opinion, and that those who
thought alike upon principle should always co-operate in any
measure for the establishment of that principle, provided the
main point was promoted; that above• all, Reformers should
not imitate those fanatics in religion who generally quarrelled
most with those from whom they differed least ( laudapplause).
Ile congratulated the Meeting upon the appearance of a new
and promising era for the cause of Reform. A spirit had gone'
I forth which held out the assurance of happy moths, and which'
recalled to his mind the glowing language of me-
thinks I see, in my mind's eye, a great and puissant nation, rousing
herself like a strong man after sleep. ?Methinks I see her as au
eagle, moving her mighty crest, purging and unsealing her long
abused sight, at the fountain itself of heavenly radiance, whilst
the whole troop of timorous and flocking birds, and those that
love the twilight, flutter around, amazed at what she means, and
in their envious gabble prognosticate a time of sects and schisms."
To this eloquent passage he would add nothing more than again
to exhort all Reformers to union, and not to split upon minor
differences in the pursuit of their great object; for it peculiarly
behaved them to afford no opening for the admission of the evil
spirit of the common enemy.--'* Their policy," said the Hon.
Baronet, " is to divide and govern—be it ours to unite and be
free."—(This speech was followed by loud, lung, and ardent
acclamations of applause.)
The health of Mr. Douglas Kinnaird being drank,
that Gentleman returned thanks.
The following toast was then drank :

intrepid conduct have so efficiently aided the cause of liberty."
