THE PRINCIPAL OFFICERS of HIS Mit
JESI7"I ORDNANCE, de hereby give Notice,

SMITH, MAYOR. •
ACOMMON COUNCIL, holden in the Cham-
ber of the Guildhall of the City of London, en Wednesday,
the lith day of June, 1810.
Resolved, That an humble petition be presensed fries the
Court td the Honourable the House of Commons, repremmtbg,
that, in approaching that Honourable House to lay before/Ikm
the numerous grievances under which we labour, we sanest-
ledge their undoubted right to exercise all fair, just* and Conail-
tutional Privileges otiginally intended,and wisely continued, for
maintaining the dignity, independence, and security of their de-
liiseratMns and proceedings.
That while we feel it our duty to support and uphold that Ho?
nourable House, at all times and under all circumstances. in the
possession of those Privileges, we cannot but lament, that the
late exercise of their power, in the arrest and imprisonment of
two of our fellow•subjeets, hould have produced consequences
most affiictine and deplorable in their nature.
That without entering into the merits of a question which is
shortly to undergo legal decision, we cannot forbear expressing
our concern and sorrow that at a time whom the whole nation
was anxiously looking Walt Enquire of thismost important hind,
.the people should, have been debarred from the said Enquiry by
the enforcement at ore of their Standing Orders ; a measure cal- •
culated to distract therisublic attentionfrom the grosrmisconduct
of his Majesty's Ministers, and tending to screen from cidulign
punishment the criminal authors of unexampled disgraces and
calamities.
That we have seen with astonishment and indignation. the per-
son who enforced the Standing Order, rewarded with a lucrative
sinecure, and notwithstanding the decided and degrading rejection
of the tender made by him, once more to represent his Constitu-
ents in Parliament, afterwards raised to one of the highest offices
under the Crown. '
That, under these extraordinary and almost incredible circum-
stances of trust improvidently bestowed. and of emolument and
honour lavishly conferred, alike insulting to the nation at large,
and destructive of all re utual confidence, we have beheld, with
regret and astonishment, the silence and seeming indifference,
both of the Hereditary Councillors of the Crown, and of the Res-
presentatives of the People.
'1 hat we earnestly entreat the attention of that Honourable
House to the great and imminent dangers in which we conceive
the Country is involved, to the manifold injuries and abuses we
consider it to be sustaining from those who preside over its cour.-
cils, and to the means we humbly presume to think are best
adapted to produce a better and happier state of things.
That during a warfare of unparalleled misery, expenditure,
and destruction, we have submitted to unprecedented burthens
and privations.
That these burthens have been greatly aggravated by unequal
taxatior., capricious assessments, Vexatious surcharees, and as bi-
trary inquisitions into our private concerns.
That during the severe pressure of an enormously decreased
and increasing weight of taxation, abuses, frauds, corruptions,
and peculations, no less enormous, have been found to exit.
Teat these Wit-then, have been further iucrsased by aprofusion
of u.eless places and pensions.
That by such shameful Imuds, waste, and profligacy, our bur-
thens have been augmented, our sufferings aggravated, and our
feelings outraged. •
That, although there has appeared no deficiency of means to
levy and enforce the payment of taxes we have to complain that
no adequate means have yet been devised to prevent um misap-
plication of them, nor any law nor tribunal found sufficient to
correct abuse, or bring great public delinquents to justice. _
That these enormous abuses are not only felt as intolerable
grievances, materially impairing the property of the people, but
by means of the most monstrous and pernicious inane:ice they
create, are subversive of the vital principles of the Constitution.
'That their natural operation Is to raider the Legislature sup-
sr. rvient to the Executive power—a juncture in which it has been
gtedicted by the ablest politician* that the Constitution would
inevitably perish.
That duly impressed with the magnitude of our exteroal dan-
gers, we are nevertheless of opinion, that these internal abuses,
corruptions, and violations of law, as they arc the more insi-
dious, are also the snore fearful and alarming.
That we concur in a declaration recorded upon the Journals
of the House of Lords, in a protest signed by the late Duke of
Portland, and thirty-one moro,l'eers, " that from the history of
tbl4, as well as other countries, times of necessity have always
been times of Reform."

That we cannot but express our concurrence with another part
of the said Protest—" because, however the waste ut public mo-
ney and the profusion of useless salaries, may have Is,:en hitherto
overlooked in days of wealth and l rJsperity, the necessities of the
present rims can no longer endure the same system of corruption
and prodigality."
That without recurring to thota facts and circumstances, uni-
versally known and admitted, by which it appears that a majority
of Members are returned through the inflame:: of Government,
of Peers, and other individuals speculating in the Rights and Li-
berties of their fellow Subjects, the evils already stated afford
sufficient evidence of the pernicious influence existing, and the
want of a real and efficient Representation.
That it is equally notorious, that a very considerable number of
the Alembers of that Honourable House hold lucrative Places,
Appointments, and Sinecures under the Crown : almost invaria-
bly supporting the existing administration, or evading inquiry fur
the correction and reform of abuses.
That the influence, which such appointments must create, is
not confined to those who possess, but extends to others, desirous
of obtaining them, and who, we are well assured, seek seats in
that Honourable House, at considerable dxpence, for that purpose
only.
That, however notorious these facts have been, never before
has corruption, in the return of Members, and the Sale of Seats,
been publicly avowed in that Honourable House, by Members ut
the Government and oi hers. s.
That it has appeared that Lord C:stlereagh, a Member of the
House of Commons, and a Minister of the Crown, was guilty of
a high breach of the Constitution, by trafficking for a Seat in ear-
'lament in exchange for a Writership; and that, although lie him-
self admitted the fact, no punishment, nor even censure, was in-
flicted upon bins, but that, on the contrary. he was, in defiance
of all decency, and in contempt of public opinion, suffered to re-
tain his official situation.
That while the said Lord Castlereagh, and the Right Honoura-
ble Spencer Perceval, another Member of that HintoutableHodie,
and also a Minister of the Crown, were charged with another
high bleach of the Constitution—the first in the disposal of a
seat, and the second in conniving thereat—a motion tor inquiry
into the same was rejected, upon the declared ground of rhe.fre-
quency of tuch practices. A CARD TO THE FEMALE SEX.
That contrary to every principle of justice, the very ground of I
aggravation was C.e..eby made an exculpation of the crime. That DR. FO'rHE RGI L L's justly-celebrated Female

HOUSE OF LORDS, JUNE 6.

Mr. tviutrtoToN, Mr. Kr statcx, Sir, lents GRAHAM, and
others, brought up from the Commons several Bills ; among
which were the Irish Militia, the Adyftante Militia, the Militia
Pay, t. 46 Newfoundland Fishery, the Surveyor-General Reguia-,

• • _ CATHOLIC. PETITIONS.

The•Eati-Of DONOUGHMORE, in calling the
• , ittioti;iOn of their Lordships to the important subject
• forwhick they had been summoned, felt himself under
' moth embarrassment. The absence of his Noble
Prtend, With whom it was his pride as well as happi-
ness to be peculiarly associated in the consideration of
the Catholic claims, was absent frOm a cause, which
- all who were present must lament on account of that
No* Lord himself, but more especially on the score
of'thrrdisadVantage which must necessarily attend
th*, discussion of a. :Object from which the distin-
rod abilities of his Noble Eriehd were precluded.

()Mord Grenville, and eased his sorrow that the
Catholics Should have cast such aniinadversioni on his
Lordship as they had done, he having only stated his

demanded from his Catholic countrymen a firm re-
liner on, and deference to, the judgment of that
Nitble Buon. In seeking redress for the Catholics,
he hnpeci no one would .-eotertain an idea - that lie
meant any thing hostile the laivssor eitablithed re-

those laws were by no means directed against the
Catholics, as they had been said to be : for instance,

fore inferred from this, that the subject had come
under the eye of the then legislators. By those acts
too, placemen and pensioners were declared incapable
of sittin&in either House of Parliament. It was only

no subject was the wisdom, foresight, and integrity
ot that great man more tonspictmus. Every day

The LORD CHANCELLOR could see no tea-
Mu for going into a CoMmittee. If every thing the
Catholics now claimed were to be granted to them,
the same concessions should be made to every other
dissenter from the established church. No difference
should be made between them. But if that were the
case, what would become of our Religious and Civil
establishments ; what were the conditions that the
Catholics were prepared to offer as pledges for the
security of those. establishments? He knew of none
they had, yet proposed. Indeed they were not likely
to propose those, or to acquiesce in them that might
be required at their hands. Their conscience would
not permit, it. Where then was the use of going into
a Committee ? Nothing new could he learnt-in the
Committee- that might not now be offered to the
House. For his part, his mind was, and has been
long made ppm; the subject, and whether in or out
of a Cominittee, be should oppose the measure.
Lord HOLLAND contended, with great anima. '
tion, in favour of considering the. petitions, which
claimed what he should eever, consent to calk boon,
since it was only the birth-right of a British subject
that was asked, The Noble Lord entered into a ;
greet Variety of argument and illustration in support
of the motions and pictured in strong colours the mo.
ral and political effects produced upon the minds of
the whole body' of the Irish Catholics, by these des I
grading exclusions. The infection spread far and
wide. We boasted of our Nelsons aid Vincents
but they must say, we are never to be in the list of
the heroes of our country, nor to share in her high
honours and rewards. Thus em elation, and a nate
ambition to serve their common country, seas de-
stroyed ; and they were left to seek in' foreign service,
those paths of distinction and glory which were closed i
to them at home.
The Duke of NORFOLK wished to see the
Church and, State of England strengthened by the
additional security of the affections of four millions
of people. He would.vote• for going into the Com-
mittee.
the Earl of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE opposed
the motion. He was convinced the greatest danger
would arise from the proposed concession.
Lord BORINGDON was of opinion it would be .
extremely imprudent to throw open the door to de,'
bate op this queition, and to excite expectations that
would certainly be disappointed. He professed him.
self, notwithstanding, to be favourable to the princi.
ple of the Catholic claims, if brought fun and under
bother circumstances.
Lord De DUNSTANVILLE was against going
ipt&the Committee.
Earl GREY apologised to the House for troubling
them at so late an hour. The allusion, however, that
had been made by a Noble and Learned Lord to the
letter of a Noble Baron (Lord Grenville), now uns
fortunately absent, and the very interesting nature of
the subject, would justify 1-n in taking up a small
-portion of their Lordships' time. 'With respect to the !
letter, he fully concurred in every sentiment it con-
tained. It never was, as stated by the • Noble Lord
'on, the Woolsack, the intention of his Noble Friend
to impose new limits now on concessions, which lie
would have formerly granted withoutoliniits, He
lamented that the question did not come before the
House under such fortunate circumstances as he bad •
reason to expect. The C.-holies had done serious I
injury to their cause. They suffered themselves to be
misled by those who, be was fully persuaded, wished
for any thing but the success of the measure. Their I
imprudence, however, should not prevent him froni
giving is vote for going into the Committee. He
would ask no other security from the Catholics, than
what it was consistent with the principles of their faith
to give. They owed to their posterity to go into the I
Committee, for they vere responsible to them for the
permanence and treusmission of the Constitution. The
principles of exclusion, of which the Petitioners coni.
plained, made no part of the Constitution as settled at
the Revolution. There was nothing stated in the Bill
of Rights about exclusion, The Noble Earl vindicated
the Catholics against the pernicious tenets imputed to
thent,of holding no faith with heretics, and mamteiping
the-power of deposing Monarchs. Much of what we
now possessed we owed to the Catholics, We owed
to them our in;.nlys• brave, hospitable, and iudepen•
dent character. We owbd to them Magna Chem, and
the principles of all those rights and liberties 'we en•
jnycd at this day. He implored the House to go into
the Committee, and to see whether-it was'not possible
to ielievefour millions of people-groataiug under op.
pr!ession. I t was unnecessary to declare what they meant I
to propose in the Committee ; the existenceof the evil
was sufficient to justify the Measure. if the Catholics

Some other mode of attaining the same end could not

tninaticm. His Lordship-quoted the 4th article
-of the'
tion to shew -that some arrangement favourable to I
the Catholics was thee in contemplation, He also l
stated, that the, opinions of two of the greatest Men
the country ever produced (Mr, Pitt until*. Fox),
who had been swept away within the List four years,
as well as that or a third (Mr. Windham), who was
now the subject of universal rygiet; *were decidedly
favourable to the Catholic claims. The Noble Earl
delivered, evidently under the pressure of the deepest
regret. an admirable 'panegyric 'on* Mr.Vindffem,
which was loudly iiiirs.repiatedly cheered from all
sides of' the Hon*.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL opposed the motion,
on the ground that it was agreed on all hands that
some security was necestary to be giecii, and yet it was
now clearly shewn that oo security could be given.

Mr. WHARTON moved a Resolution for voting
a sum of £1031.. ss. to Jamea Read, Esq, to pay
Special Constables for services (luring the late distnr-
lances.

Mr, WHITUREAD wished to know, as great
complaints had gone forth respecting the small
amount of the civil power, what number of constables
were actually employed ?
Secretary RYDER Irtd no objection to fur.
nish the account, provided it could be done consistent
with the public. safety. In order* to satisfy the Hon.
Gentleman, he could state, however, that the wholf,
of the civil power was called out, special constables
were sworn in, and indeed ever, step taken which
could tend to preclude the necessity of resorting to
the assistance of military force.
Mr. WIIITDRE AD could not see that any in-
convenience could result from laying an account on
the table. Dosides it would serve to appease the
public mind for the fact was, that bath the military
and the civil power were called out in the same mo-
ment, It therefore was desirable to show that the
necessary steps had been taken in the Office of the
Right Hon, Gentleman to secure thi tranquillity of
the town. r • " r A

Mr. Secretary RYDER again observed, That he
had no objection to state the total number of special
constables, but must object to specify the paruculai,
districts, eeause it would lead to endless ineonvenie:
ence. The military power, notwithstanding what
the Hon, Gentleman had advanced, was called out
only a day *and a half previous to the swearing in of
special constables, anti those constables were always
at their posts during the disturbance.
Mr. C. WYNNE asked at what period the mili-
tary actually were called out ?
Mr. Secretary RYDER stated, that the order far
arresting Sir Francis Burdett was made on the Thurs-
day. On the Friday morning the Serjcant at Arms
was told that he would find the Civil Magistrates at
the Secretary of State's Oillee, and that upon appli-
cation to them he could obtain any assistance, both
Civil and Military, if he stood in need of it. The lat-
ter was resorted to as the hotter chance of preserving.
' the peace of the metropolis.
j
Mr. C. WYNNE observed, that it was extraordi,
nary the riots he'd continued so long. It could only
be imputeg to the want of the Civil Power in the first,
instance to quell it.
Mr. Secretary ItYDER replied, that both this Ma-
gistrates and Constables were it‘ 4ttelkialiCC on
Thursday and Friday, as fitx 4s his recollection went
as to the fact.

Mr, WHITBREAD contended, that when Sir
John Anstruther's house was attacked there was not
a single Constable to check the persons committing
the outrage;
.the same with respect to the attack on
Lord Castlereagh's and other houses. Ile therefore
could not consent to vine the sum now asked for spur
dal Constables.

Mr. Secretary RYDER observed, that they were
at.their pest night and day ; the Guards were
doubled; and in that every means were taken to pre-
serve the peace.

Mr. WHITBREAD still ohj;!ctecl to the yote.—,
The Constables and the Guards, he observed, might
be disposed of, and GovernMe4t now wished to dis-
pose Of £3900, but he must vote against it.
Mr. Secretary RYDER declared, that he was at
his post. Reports wets brought him every hour of
the gate of the town ; drat on the evening when these
Constables were on duty it was quiet, at least their
was eta rintins. , '
Mr. WHI TBR RAD thought the reports brought
to the Right Hgri, Gentleman were false, for on that
very evening ii was that the Attack on Sir Mtn An-
struther's house was made. •
