TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE OP WALES,

•LQENT or TO& UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN MID HOLLAND,
"'he humble I'irrirtou of the FREEHOLDERS, FRLEMIN, and Tx-
praarratres of the CITY of BRISTOL, ASaeMbled pursuant to pub-
lic advertisement on Brandin Hill, In the said City, on Mos.
day, the 4th day of Octobtr, 1819,

" Sieweth—That, in the opinion of your Petitioners, it is the
inherent and indigputable right of the People of England to meet
publicly for the discussion of grievances; and to address the ;,::•-
1.-er..7:gn thereon, win:never they may dee.n it expedient or ne-
cessary.

4, That, from all the ^vidence which has met the public eye in
respect of the late meta:l.:holy proceedings at Manchester, it ap-
pears to your Petitioners, that the Mciling out of which those
proceedings emanated, held to consider the propriety of adopt-
ing the most legal and effectual means of obtaining a Reform of
the Commons House of Parliament.' was so held under the sanc-
tion of existing laws, lung recognized and act,rd upon, and that
It was conducted in a manner the most orderly and peaceable.
" That, front the same evidence, it also appears, that at an
early period of the Meeting, the unotfending prople there as."
aiembled, were, tinder the direction of :Manchester Magistrates,
illegally charged by the _Manchester Yeomanry Cavalry, by
whom they were indiscriminately slaughtered without regard to
age or sex.

" 'bat in this work of •nsparinedestruction, the Manchester
Yeomen appear to have displayed a ferocity of disposition dis-
graceful to a Christian age, and calculated indelibly to stain the
National character; at the same time your t etitioners thus ex-
press their opinions upon the conduct of these Yeomen, they
cannot refrain frzln shewing to your Royal Highness, that the
conduct of the 15th Regiment of Hussars, upon this melancholy
occasion, appears to form a striking contrast, and tbat their hu-
mane interference, in several instances, to awn the needless
spilling of human blood, entitles them to the thanks of their Sove-
reign, and the grftittide of their feaow•countrymen.
" That your Peticioners,jiave contemplated with astonishment
and indignation the conduct of his Niajesty's Ministers, with re-
ference to those disgraceful and barbarous prticeedinp, and par.
titular!; weir having Advised your Royal Highness, upon an ear-
parte statement made to them by the persons immediately im-
plicated in these transactions, to sanction and approve of them,
even without an expression of regret for the loss of his Majesty's
Subjects under such circumstances, or for the fatherless and
widowed condition into which the relatives of those killed *ere
thrown.

" That your Petitioners crave leave to lament what to them
appears the unseemly hastiness with which, prior to legal hives.
tigation before that great palladium of the rights of his Majesty's
subjects, a British Jury, your Royal Highness was, under the
baleful advice of those Ministers, lel to prejudge the question of
the guilt or innocence of the parties Identified in these trans-
actions.

" That, following the example tans set before them, the ad-
dresses of some of the Judges on the late Circuit, as well as the
declarations of certain Grand Juries, with reference to the late
transactions at Manchester, whose minds and judgments: in the
opinion of your Petitioners, should be uniolluenced' either by
political feeling or extra-judicial reports, regarding affairs which
might become subjects of legal investigation before them, appear
to your Petitioners to have echoed the sentiments which your
Royal Highness was advised by those Ministers to express.
That in the judgment of your Petitioners, your Royal High-
ness's approval, under the pernicious adVice of your Ministers,
of the conduct of the .Manchester Magistrates and Yeomanry
Cavalry, expressed within /ire days,aftv: the perpetration of the
acts which your Royal Highness had been thus influenced to
applaud, ill accords with the reproof, which your Royal High-
' nem was, by the same pernicious Counsellors, advised to express
in answer to the Address and Petition of the Lord Mayor, Al-
dermen, and Common Council, of the City. of London, presented•
to your Royal Highness, a full calendar month after the fatal
occurrences, therein, as your Petitioners think, so justly repro-
bated and condemned.' p

44 Thal your Petitioners are firmly convinced, that all the
evils of which they have reason to complain, owe tbe'r origin to
the imperfect state of :he Representation of the People in the
Commons House of Parliana:t:t ; and that if the empbatical words
of the late Lord Chatham-4 That unless that House promptly-
redressed grievances within its own walls, they would be eedrefsed
with a vengeance from without,' should be verified, the conse-
quences resulting from a convulsion so disastrous will be solely
attributable to the Oligarchy, which at the same time encroaches
on the prerogatives of the Crown, and tramples' upon the rights
and liberties of the People.

" Your Petitioners most earnestly beseech your Royal
ness to take tits premises into your royal consideration—that
such measures may be adopted as the justice of the case le'idly
calls for; and that your Royal Highness will be pleased forth.,
with to dismiss from your produce and councils for ever, those
Ministers who could advise your Royal Highness to sanction,
with expressions of approbation and thanks, the conduct of :ho
t i Manchester hlagsrates and Yeomanry.
