OXFORD COUNTY MEETING:
. .
. .

TOTAL DEFEAT OF THE MOCK-LOYALISTS.
:. The result of this Meeting,held in the hitherto strong
of Ministers, was looked to with much anxiety
tidill . parties; and public feeling was never more
equivocally displayed than it was yesterday in
'--- streets of Oxford, even long before the hour of
ng arrived At an early hoar the space int-
diately opposite the Hall was crowded to excess,
ne
tta doors were kept locked, and constables were sta- '
;baed there to keep off the crowd. The Magistrates
sod a few private persons were admitted through the
ince ,:oors, but no accommodation whatever was
moor. to the persons who went down for the London
firesi, At the hazard of their lives, they were obliged
,6 climb over a spiked iron railing ;in that endeavour
6-:Gemleman received some personal injury.
At hall-past twelve o'clock, the doors of the Hall
,ex thrown open, and the multitude made a dread-
fa rush. The utmost confesion followed, and in five
minuses afterwards the Hall was filled almost to suf-
focation. We should have stated, that a few minutes
before, Lord Macctesrieeo, the Lord Lieutenant of
*County, Lord Hoeesteo, Lord JERSEY, and Lord
CHURCHILL, all of whom were received with warm
cheers, the two County Members, and other persons
of distinction, had been admitted.
The SHERIFF, having taken the Chair, read the
Acquisition, in pursuance of which, he said, he had
called the Meeting. He hoped that every Gentleman
who should. address the Meeting, whatever might be
his political sentiments, would be heard with patience
and impartiality—(Applause).
.Mr. Ram rose to propose the Address to his Ma-,
jesty. The times, he said, were of that complexion,
which called even on private individuals to state their
opiiiions....which called on good subjects to express al
one of gratitude for the numerous mercies which,
they enjoyed—which called- upon them to proclaim
to the King, to the country, and to the world, dint,
because they feared. Gon, they therefore sionottred
ead obeyed-the King, and all those who were placed
in authority under him—(here repeated and long-
esetinued hissa; interrupted the speaker).
The SHERIFF called in vain to ordef ; at length
•Lord HOLLAND rose. His Lordship was received
with shouts -of tumultuous applau.e. He said, he
had no right to'address a single word to the Free-
holders, until they listened to the Gentleman in pos-
session of the Meeting—(Applause).—lt was impos-
sible for him to say anything, unless they allowed
that Gentleman to give him something to answer—
(3houts of applause).
1 Mr. Rein said, that it was written in the sacred
volume,. that every person should be entirely subject
"to the higher powers"—(Hisses and interruption).
Lord HOLLAND again rose. He entreated them

—"He was bad enough, but we have our modern

sonal benefit from having associated with his party

power were tolerant —(A laugh).—He called on
every good subject to rally round the Altar and the
Throne. He saw with honor the publication of sedi-

docmnes which would rob the people of their com-
forts in this world, and deprive them of salvation in
The next, Ile would say no more than that the times
leaned a big with the fate of Cato and of Rome."
He concluded with moving the Address. It stated
the attachment of the County to the Person and
hilly of his Majesty ; and although the loyalty of
Oaford was sufficiently known, yet at the present
'clod, when sedition and disloyalty were so openly
avowed and so industriously circulated, the Freehol-
der' feit it their duty, as good subjects, openly to
IiOW their detestation of doctrines so subversive
ofevery loyal and religious principle, and which, if
continued to be propagated, would promote public
calamity. Sensible of the blessings they enjoyed,
they ventured to approach the Throne to express
”eneration for the Constitution in Church and
'seir determination to defend it.

In looking into the coliimit of signatures, the second
name he found was " Zachariah Levi, of Stamford,

but no, that was not the case—(Loud laughter). The
next name, however, was that of a Jew beyond all
question, for it was that of M. N. Rothschild, the
great Jew Loan Contractor, who comes forth in this
time of peril to express his excessive dread of therpre.
valence of any opinion calculated to impair the sta-
bility of the pure Christian Faith !—(Peals of laughter
for some time). Mr. Rothschild'., dread appeared
most alarming ; for in another Loyal Declaration,
privately concocted among some merchants of Lou..
don, there was this paragraph---" We declare it to be
our firm and unalterable purpose to maintain our
Holy Religion in all its purity." To this Declaration
among the uncircumcised, he (Lord Holland) again
found Mr. Rothschild's name attached—(Loughter).
—He begged not to be understood as lamenting that
Jews mixed themselves up with Christians in asserting
their opinions, fur he, on the contrary, rather wished
the Jews had more rights than they had, than that
any they reasonably wished should be withheld from
them. He merely stated this fact to spew the incon-
siderate manner in which these Addresses were got
up and signed; and it was this that induced him to
think that. when the Jews and the Gentiles were all
mixed up together, there was some little profit in the
rear of all this expression of loyalty and Christian
piety. The Jewish Gentlemen could not have read
these Addresses when they signed them: that was
his (Lord Holland's) opinion in charity, for he could
not wantonly accuse any man of hypocrisy. In the
language therefore to be found in that fine play of
his late friend Mr. Sheridan, he would say with
Moses, in the School for Scandal, 44 The pria:ipal is
a Christian !"—(Laughter).—The Noble Lord then
enforced, with great eloquence, the propriety of
adopting the proposed Amendment, and speaking
truth to the Throne, for the sake of the Throne itself.
The Nob!e Lord concluded amid loud cheers, by en-
forcing the propriety of adopting the Amendment.
Mr. W. E. TAUNTON (the Recorder of Oxford)
spoke in favour Of the original Address.
After some discussion as to the mode of putting the
question, during which Lord HOLLAND entreated the
persons at the Meeting, for their own honour's sake,
not to hold up their hands unless they were free-
holders, the question on the original Address was put,
and the slim of hands taken first on the Address,
and then on the Amendment, when there appeared
in this immense assemblage a majority, on the roost

went !—lt may be proper here to runiark, that the
greatest pains had been taken tont.° admit any bat
freeholders.

Thellion &TERM? pronounced that the majority
was decidedly for the Amendment.
The applause was immenc, when Lord HoLLAND
addressed the Meeting, and implored them to enjoy
their great triumph with the moderation of English-
men who loved candour and open dealing. He hoped,
therefore, that they would juin with him in a Vote of
Thanks to the Noblemen and Gentletnen who had
called the Meeting in so manly a manner ; and also
to the High Sheriff, for his excellent and impartial
condi:ct in die Chair.
Rah Motions were carried unanimously, and the
Alreiing, the largest ever known at Oxford, was dim
solved, after giving three cheers, at half-past five.
