MEETING FOIL FOR SUBSCRIPTION.
Testesday a most numerous sad trely respectable
Meeting took place at the Crown and Anchor Ta-
vern, for the purpose of forming a Subscription for those
unhappy iudtvlduals who had Weil immured in dun-
geons during the late Suspension Aet.—Long before
the Chair was taken, the large room and gallery,
with the avenues leading to it, were crowded to an
excess seldom if ever witnessed Its that place. A
few minutes before one o'clock Sir F. Burdett, sew
eompanied by his brother and Lord Cochrane, case*
into the room, amidst loud and.repeated cheeriugsi
Sir F. Buascrr having tsken the Chair, said,
that harieg bad she Isuwar being called_ upon 10
Ipeaside et so etriterews. end respectable Rimetnik
'it. became his duty to explain to them whet the object
of it was. He would not at present take up their
time by entering into the topics connected with it,
as he understood there were many who were desirous
to address them, and particularly such as bad suffer-
ed by long continuance in prison. lie could not but
congratulate them and the Public on the Meeting
being so numerous, It could not, however, be
otherwise, unless Englishmen severe dead to all those
generous feelings by which the) ought to be actiated.
He would now merely beg their attention to what.
ever might We. offered by any Gent !Pingo who was
disposed to offer his sentiments. The Resolutions
• wile prepared, and would be submitted immediately
to their consideration.

• Jetird Cocuease said, that °pros coming into the
Clown and Anchor, various Resolutions had been
put into his hand, which ititlicated the important Oh.
ject •f the Meeting. It was a pleasure to him to see
that the spirit of the People was thus awake to the
condect of Governmesit ; and that a Meetieg ass
numerous and so tes;:ectehle had been assembled.—
Had the same spirit prevailed in Et assre under its an-
cient Goverotnent, the despotism which oppressed
the People *fluid not have t osoinued su Swig, nor
those horrors been witnessed *bids attended the Re-
vototion. It was lamentable to see, shut now, after
a war of '2O years duration, after expending the trea.
sures of the cotsosry, -and I .ading the People with
an intolerable 'millets of tases, under pretence of
maintaining the liberties of Europe, they were at.
last retloced to live untler a tyrants), while
men were comparatively. free—(loud oppluutc)—even
though lising. under a Military Government. That
Government was imp .sad upon them, sisal supported
by England. Oppressive, however, as it might be.
even • military despotism was not mote ruinous

Habeas Co( pus.— ( Lurid Ckeering.)—Frauce, by the
aid of British troops, joined 14) 14,.5e of the other
despots of Europe, was kept in a state of degrading
subjugation. What tie. easily was there ler this ?
If the French Government was a good one, why did li
not Frenchmen themselves support it ?—(Applause-)1
—inc same system of military ty runny presti,l.4l in
this country. They could not walk through a single
i street without meeting soldiers in every direcston.—
What was the use of tbese Janizaries that were
to be met with ewers where—at the theatres, at
ea-
hibittous, at every place of public business, or
public amusement? Was• this the state in which
Englishmen should he-placed ? How different was
the situation of America as represented in the
last speech of the President. l'here the People
were completely free from testes; they had no mili-
tary establishnsent, or at least a very small
Justice was impartially and readily administered
in their Courts of Law. They were allowed to be
their own protectors, and in place of oppressing them
with a large standing army, 100,000 muskets were
placed in the hands of the titizens.—(.4pplauies.)—
'limy were also told in the memorable address of the
President, that toe war having ceased they would of
course be delivered -from internal taxation ; and
when such was the case, what a striking contrast did
it form with the miserable state in which English-
men were now placed!—No power was exercised its
that country but by the People themselves. There a
pesson was in no danger of being oppressed under
the forms of law anal justice. The iniquities prac
used in our Courts wet, wit tube met with. Ilere there
was no justice to be had under any circumstances in
which the Government was concerned.—( Loud
Cheering.)—Formerly Juries were packed, but un-
til lately this picking was tint openly avowed—but
now even the Judges on the Bench attempted to jus-
tify it. While the list in the Crown-Office continwed
upon the former plan, the names of such persons
were selected to serve upon Juries as were known to
be disposed to a compliance with Government. This
was done under the appearance of fairness and indif-
ference. Until lately, it did not become necessary
to avow it; thanks, however, to Mr. Wooler, Mr.
HO', and Mr. Pearson, the system was abolished,
and must draw down the indignation of the couutry
upon any person who should attempt to revive it.—
He did not wish to delay the Meeting long; but he
could not, under such circumstances, avoid making
some allusion to this subject. The partiality of the
Courts to the packing of Juries was nototious. lie
had himself,- in his owls case, made various efforts to
have justice done him, but all to no purpose. —(.4p-
pleruse )—lt was this which perhaps induced bins to
express himself with so much warmth upon a matter
of this nature. lie hoped the Resolutions adopted
Lt )at day, by So numerous mud so respectable a Meet-
Ifng, would prove that the People of 'England you'd
not be put down by tyrantry, but that their spirit
would rise in proportion to the despotic eifnrts that
were made against it. The Noble Lord buying con-
cluded, amidst loud applause, proceeded to read the
following Resolutions:—

scantly told that the language they held at their Pob-
lic Meetings, proYed they were still in possession of a
considerable portion of that liberty of which they
complaiued they hatLiseets deitrived. Bat to whom
was it they were indebted for the small remnants
of freedom that was still left them ? It teas
to their own eatertiotos, to their own effotts,
tontwitlistanding the petits with which their exer-
tions had been attended. It was to their opposi-
tion to soljust lass they were indebted for what
they now possessed. Cr, tainly they owed nothing
to his Majesty's Ministers. if it was possible any
one should require proof of the hatred of freedom,
it was only necessary to refer to their conduct dur-
hog the last year. The brightest privileges of Engtialt-
seen had beets torn one by one from them, as Minis.
ter* haul from time to time determined to dispossess
them. Never et any period of our history had the
People obtaiued a political benefit from Ministers ;
never had they obtained
,a a oluntary surrender .1
their rights, uttless when thertold such a force Ist
support their pretensions, as rendered the concession
of Mittiaters an act of prudence. Such was the shot t
history of the People's rights. Ile then referred to
the efforts which had been made by our ancestors,
observing that the People of the present age had been
more disposed to boast of the exploits of their ances-
tors titan to imitate them. It should never be for.
gotten, that Sydney and Hampden, oho had achieved
bib much iu the cause of liberty, had sacrificed their
lives, the one on the scaffold, the other in the field.
He observed, that the People had only to determine
to be free, in order to secure to them the enjoy•
meta of that blessing. To esiTct any thing 'torn
the present Administration was- its sail's. Wltnerer
expected good sense ft om them, roust be dis to-
apoolistedAr wipaer expected that. Laid policy
which formed an excuse for rashness would he dis-
appointed—but, above all, ultnever expected from
them mercy and humanity, would be complete-
ly disappointed. Ministers could have no confi-
dence on the People, because they must feel that
they had no claim to the esteem of the People; there
was nothing by which they could maintain their
importance, but by retaining their places; for that
reason they nished to render their offices permanent.
They knew the English character mutt he destroyed,
! before the People could be reconciled to their G is-
I vertiment. It therefore was and had been their oh.
! ject to degrade the People below the standard of
Englishmen, in order that the rulers and rules{ might.
•
; bear a comparison with each other. He adverted to
the i)vt itions for Iteform last year, to resist w bids Pal.
liament had felt the necessity of doing something. It
j became the Honourable House to assign some 'moots
I for the conduct it meant to pursue; but the saltier-
-1 fuge to n hich Parliament bad resorted, would, iis
the transactions of ordinary life, have excite,/
: blush :—they had had recourse to the must barefaced
falsehoods.—Vioietsce had beeu attributed to this
People for claiming the rights of Englishmen, their
language might have been strong, but it could not he
stronger than their injot iPS. To base used a olds of ade.
quite strength, they must have spoke in thunder, cud
1- delivered their omits with the rapidity of lightning ;
no language could do justice to their feelings.—
,
Their oppressors thought it was not wii.lence to bury
the rights sod privileges of Englishmen, and of the
• I British Constitution. They had heaped innotation.
on the Constitution, like " Pelion on Ossa ;" hot
that they considered no violence, but for the People
to dig round the sordid mass, coil seitleevout from
1 the rubbish to-eatract what there was of valve; that
indeed was a degree of violence, for tore suppression.
of which some judges were to be roncentro; d
rouud a nicked Administratiou, and law was to !,o
perverted to defend that which was obnotioua to alt
taw, and destitute of all principle. They would he., r
the details which had given rise to the fleeting of 1:i t•
II sy from other persons. Ile was persuaded that tie
recital of them would make those whoa should liver
them imagine themselves eitheir among the barbarous
hordes of Affirm, or the despots of Asia—iii truth,
any place but the British Metropolis. Ile wishiii it
to he recollected, that the victims who tent! linen
seized by the arbitrary bands of Government, hod.
been seized in the exercise of their most valuable right
—the right of petitioning Parliament. Ile deptecatest
the necessity of petitioning Parliament at ail.—
