by Lets of Parliament and Oa' paid, as wits modus-
anon* totted, out of *republic taxes. The salary
mai made up .by small fenilevied upon every issue of
„may &Om the Exchequer, and did not amount to
'lll5OlOl than 42300 per annum. If the objection
AM against him was to liii holding a place, then if
that principle wasstrue, it was impossible that some
•of the most efficient Officer's in the State could sit in
the Legislature; a position, the impropriety of which
it was needless to illustrate. He had heard that his
1 exertions in Eubrink Fen had offended some of his
former supporters.—A Freeholder from the body of
the Meeting stated, that it was true, for his own part
his property had been without notice affected. He
had by that cut paid already £l5O, and was now in
;'orttars £7l. Mr. Yorke said he had no personal object
to answer, and was confident every notice was gives.
The Freeholder replied, that there was no notice either
to him or his neighbours ; it was smuggled through in
the dark. It was a mere job.—Mr. Yorke concluded by
thanking the Meeting for the favourable hearing he
at length got, and assured them, that if in his public
course he bed been mistaken, it was an error in judg-
ment. (11101wwers; and crier-0j; if, 4)
Mr. Ba'a briefly replied to some of the observa-
tions of thost speaker. He observed, that between
to persona whom Mr. Yorke suppOrteB, and those to
Alma he (Mr. B.) was attached, there was this dis-
tinguishing eharacteristitr,:ahat tliefriends of the Right
Honourable Gentlemaa, were ever endeavouring to
excite one part of the people against the other. To pro-
pagate suspicions of disaffection and treason—to ex-
cite Englishmen against Englishrnen,was a permanent
unvarying part of their policy. With respect to what
had fallen from Mr. Yorke, relative to the London
Editors, he had to say, he considered the
publicity of the proceedings of the House of Com-
mons in the manner it was given of the most material
' benefit and importance to the country. It was not
only beneficial, but it was natural that the people
should be acquainted with the attendance, the senti-
ments, and the votes of these men to o horn they
delegated such a sacred authority. Such an anxiety:
was to be expected at all times; but if ever the*
was a period when, at least, that gratification
should be afforded to the country, it was at the
moment, anclaipon the very subject which the Right
Honourable Gentleman selected for enforcing the
order of exclusion.—(Lardapplaave.)—lt was at the
moment when the country stood aghast with asto-
nishment at the multiplied calamities which had be-
fallen it, when the bravest armies that ever left the
British shore were almost annihilated ; that the Right
Honourable Gentleman shut the door of the House,
then proceeding into investigation of those e
in the face of the people. When the public hope
directed to those proceedings, and every man was lan=
dably and anxiously solicitous to ascertain the facts
detailed in evidence, together with the opinions of the
respective Members upon them-o-what danger could
he possibly foresee by allowing the public wish ? With
respect to secrecy, a Committee had been already ap-
pointed, to wheat all documents were referred, the com-
munication of which might be dangerous to the public
interests. At first it appeared to arise from the inve-
terate hatred which the Right Honourable Gentleman
seems to hive to publicity of all kinds ; but what fol-
lowed after he retired as the Teller of the Exchequer
fully proved that he acted only in accordance with the
wishes of the Ministry. Fqr, when precluded by ha ac,
ceptance of place from continuing in his seat, who suc-
ceeded to thepleasing 'duty of expelling thepuhlic ? The

Thatfact was true and ondenia le, and he that ha
not intellect to understand it, was almost ismer'
of einicCiving any thing. The. Right Honor
Gentlesinin (Mr. Yorke) was now a Placer,
he was sorry to tell him, that when he took that pm.
'lie forfeited every title to public character. A public
character he once had, atonic Was sorry (aspic so
improperly sacrificed ; because public charagoppatrere
the best property of a nation.
The Rev. Geoaxnatiown exhorted the meeting to
prove to the country at large, their sense of Ilittiotism
fund public spirit, by rejecting with marked disregard
their late Member, Mr. Yorke. He had, forsooth, corn-1
plained of the misrepresentation of his speeches ; could
lie say, that his votes were misrepresented ? (reiterated
*playa.) When did he ever vote in favour of con-
stitutional freedom ?—or, what was the measure which
went to infringe that freedom that had not his support?
Was he not the principal actor in upholding an ince•
pable, profligate, and contemptible Administration,.

The Marquis of Tavtrroc.io—ln answer to what lesa;
fallen from 'the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Yorke),
I beg leave to say, that if he had boldly' and man-
fully
accepted a constitutional place in the Councils
of his Sovereign, his conduct would not be exposed to
the animadversion which it is this day. In such case
the country would be secured in some degree by his
responsibility, and he himself would have the satis-
' faction to feel that if at any time a difference of opi-
nion should take place between him and his official
colleagues, it would be open for him to resign his
place, and to conform to the dictates of hisownjudg-
ment. But he now stands ina quite contrary situa-
tion. He is.the hired advocate of Ministers, and has
received 'llf retaining fee (reiterated atidaust). He
must now:defentl their errors and palliate their ig-
norance. He earl not abar.don them without incur-
ring the:49puttition of that worst vice of which hu-
maqiiiine is siisceptible—ingratitude (loud cheering.)
The High Sheriff then put the question, when on
a cheer of hand's the numbers were in a proportion of
ten to one in favour of Lord FRANCIS Oseauxe. Mr.
YORKIL'S friends detroinded a poll, which was fixed for
Friday next.

the late actions of the Right Honourable Gentleman mt
much more reprehensible. The*Meeting could not 1

get his congratulations at hearing the Jacobinical con- whoa
spiracy against the House of Brunswick assume a tan- tingth,
Bible shape (Hear ! end loud afiftlautes.) Then it was , Honot
that this twenty.years patriot re-echoed the cry of excite o,
