•stahlishment of complete despotism, and in pnrsnit of
that object thiy had nut only rendered " Marriage
votes es false as Dicer's oaths," hot religion itself a
mere rhapsody of words. For such consequences he
considered Ministers alone responsible, as it was int-1
possible that the King could he a willing agent lit the
en:leavours made to degrade his Queen. The King was
to be the first gentleman in Europe, and yet be
sr Is held forth as a party in a transaction in which be
oas persuaded any man who beard him would he
a,hameil to have the slightest concern.--(Applause.)--
lle.was sure, indeed, that the meanest blackguard in
.4i-wry would shrink from the coulluet imputed to the
king in this case, and vet those men, who had fixed
the imputation upon him, who was mire the friend and
companion of Erskine, Fox, and Sheridan, were still
permitted to continue his Majesty's Ministers.—
WA., this to he borne by the King or by the coos-
try ? The latter, at least, for its own credit, should
4.411 fir the dismissal of such Ministers. The
company were no doubt nequainted with the anecdote
of Nell Uwynne and her footman. When the latter was
covered with blood in consequenee of haring fought
with a man who called his mistress a w—, she told
him not to notice any such trifling charge in future.
" Then," exclaimed the footman, " if your Ladyship
be contented to be called a w—, Lithe hanged if I
continue to he the footman of a w--." Then, said
Mr. N., if the King will continue such Ministers, let
u 4 take care, for our on n justification, to shew that we
cannot be the approving subjects of such a Monarch.
----; Loud applause.) --Bu: the injury done by the late
rovoluet of Ministers to our holy religion, was almost
isittnite. After the ark of human nature was seen
"satin; about the world, or s!riking against the quick-
sands of prejudice, it was thought to have found an
;yltim in the nor: religion of the English church,
rot illy secure from the wildness of fanaticism, and
t` s absurdities of infidelity. Rut what must he the
esrect upon that religion. if the disputes which had
Leen recently witnessed among, its principal Bishops,
0... re corrected by a Nobleto,n who was one of the
g neatest debauchees in the coitotry ? Such Mecum-
s! titres. hr thought, notch more calculated to injure
e character of religion than all the a ritingsof the in&
OA Mir: proceeding at some length in the same
strain, Mr. N. animadverted upon the Italian wit-
-I.^ sex against the Queen, contrasted the Statesmanlike
al I legal qualifications of Lords (ivy, Erskine, anti
Loridowne, Waits. Tierney, Brougham. Burdett, and
Denman. with those of Lords Castlereagh, Eldon, and
S'amouth, Messrs. Vansittart. Clifford, Copies. and
Itallurst, and declared himself a Whig Advocate for
r-form. Ihe Honorable (gentleman concluded with
proiossingthe first Resointiow calling for the dismissal
44 Ministers, and that uo farther proceedings should

Ilonnocss. Wt. to return thanks. lie assured
the Meetieg that he regretted the accidental circum-
stance which had trcvented their Noble Chairman
from ce:lt'uttinz his attendance, soil readered it move-
s ow for hint to supply a place which wonlai !Mire been
mach more wordily occupied. After the very able
se..nner iii obieli the business of the day hail been ex-
Nitrified to them, he felt it moreeerenty to occupy any
c4•:isiderable rov don of their time. There was another
c;reunistance which disqualified ,him for addressing
them at any length, and that was, that he had ale:oily
attended lien et three Meetings this day, and he could
assure thew, that whether at St..larnee's, or St. Pant's,
at one end of the City of Westminster or the other,
Fig lintoble talents would be constantly and
implicitly
a! the dispneal of his Constitnents. It was not his
',Alt to feel any backwardness in lending his humble
asaistance to the people of England, and in this great
qatestion be Lad from the beginning entered a heart
and hand into the cans.; he had always considered
it as a question of vital importanee, not merely as it
*fringe,' the interests of the Queen, for it was imposts
bible for any man to consider it withont feeling that
it involved not only his own life, liberty, and pro-
rertv, hut the life, liberty, anal property of posterity.
Porionatelv, the !told'. of England had triumphed ;
thee bad obtained for themselves, a triumph which
could have hero achieved in no other country in the
world. The people bad come forward manfully t they
roused themselves from the apathy in which they had
tithed() been placed ; they had exerted those energies
%Odell, when they resole, to exert theta, are. always
irresistible, and declared with a voice whorls Mi-
nisters dared not disregard, their ananintons opi.
riOn of this last attempt to destroy the rights and
privileges of Englisleown in the person of their
Queen, who was not only entitled to all the dig-
lei! ire of her exalted station. but who bad rhewn
hbereself worthy of the honors of the throne, because
understoed and appreciated the liberties of thus.
