As to the blessings that must arise troll a tree
Representation they arc not easily to be ono.
nyrated ; but one of the principal among them ,
pill be, that your taxes wilt be lightened. If you
were fairly represented, do you think it possible
that your money could be voted away by empty 1
benches—those benches which are crowded when.
ever there is any question that involves party in.
*crest. [Loud applatsse.../ifo, no, nu.] Gen.
tiemen, the thing would be impossible, if you who',
pay these burthcns hail the fair opportunity of
chusing the men who ought to represent you, or
rather, if other cities could do the same as the city
of Westminster has done.—l will put the question
home: I ask whether, if every other place had re--
turned two such moo as vim have done, Would the
people at this time be asking for their rights in
vain) Nu ; THEIR REPRESENTATIVES WOULD NUT
OIVE THEM TIME. If you were represented as you
ou4lit, I do not believe that the grandmother of
a Noble Lord, who has beets these seven years
in her grave, would still be receiving her
pension. If she had lived, I do not think you
could hate hail any ofkjection to her receiving
it. She was the widow of a Gallant Officer, and.
it was granted to her for his meritorious ser-
vices—but do you think, that if you had
honest Representaqies they would have con.
tinned it seven years after her death. Gentlemen,
We know-that our enemies are strongly fortified
under the borough.tuougcring faction. It is ex-
traordioary that such a faesion should be so
strong, when it is considered that it has existed so
Short a time. Till the Revolution, the People of
tngtintl had no such enemy. The People at that
time, led away by the representations of artful
men, taught the legislature to say, that the King
should nu longer have the power of calling Re.
presentatives to Parliament, only (ruin places
which were flourishing either by their nopulatiets
or their wealth ; but on the contrary, that the
•franchise should be fixed and stationary : such was
the origin of this faction. We have since seen the
iniquity of the borough-mongering system carried
to its height, and I believe there never was witnessed
any faction to mischievous by its power, in any
Country. Now that corruption has got to its tainost
estent, wo are told, that there shall be no alteration
sir change—that Reform is dangerous, and would
prodece more evils than it would remedy. The
Borough-mongers can only defend it en that
groom/. The Borough-mongers will still retain
their power, though it should threaten the de.
atfuction of the Country, for it is the quality of
this faction to destroy whatever they grasp at the
attainment of. I recollect reading in the Debates,
on the subject of Parliamentary Reform, that
when the Duke of Richmond was riding through a

village which he had once seen prosperous, he
served it nearly prostrate and depopulated; but,
at the same time, he was remarkably struck by
seeing some posts with cocked hats and large ribbons
on them. Ha asked, what they were, and they told
it was the day of election, and that the posts
Wee the Electors. I do think that.this system is as
destructive to the Crown as to the People. It has
reduced the Crown to the necessity of defending
itseff by endue amass. Gentlemen, before I con.
Glade, I wish to allude to a kind hint I received in
a public print, stating that I was not attending on
the Question of the Droits of the Admiralty :
Gentlemen, if ever I desert your interests I hope
yor will receive me in a different way from what
yen have done this day. IdO assure you, nothing
would more afflict my mind than the disapproba.
fiat of the Electors of Westminster. Gentle.
Men, if the House of Commons means to act
fairly by yea, they will grant you a Perlis.
mentary Reform, and if they grant you that,
all other things will follow as a matter of
'course. I shall only add a few words, to say
that it is with the sincerest satisfaction I feel that
the corruption and tyranny of the Borough-mon.
gers have met with a firm opposition. Continue
that opposition, and it will lead you to victory—
of that I have no doubt. I feel persuaded that
the great cause, which we have all an near our
hearts, will gain strength every day. We shall find
not only the People of England supporting it, but
the People of Ireland [bursts of applause], and the
Roman Catholics of Ireland have discovered what
they have to expect frotn the Reuse of Commons—
they all know that it is their best interest to go
band in hand %sail the Protestants, in order
to ask that reform which will restore to us -the

ble.sings of a free Constitution, which will give
us that strength which nothing can contend with,
and finally secure to us the blessings of a •hippy
peace. I thank you kindly, Gentlemen, for the
attention with which you have heard me. I trust
we shall all live to see a full and fair ILepresenta.

honourable Gentleman eoutlndetl, amidst than.
clurs of applause, by proposing the following
toast :

" A full, fair, and free Repreisilatioa of the PeoplC la the

which was roccived with nnbonntled expressions of
pleasure, and was drank with great applause.
The Noble Chairman then proposed as a toast,

which was drank with three times three, anvil loud
bursts of applause.
In the saute manner was drank,

Mr. COKE returned his warmest thanks for

there as a visitor, having received awry petite in-
vitation from the Stewards. Approving of the

hade'en the '
other night Cu the House of Commons, when that
subject had been brought before them. His Pee-
liamentary life had been of no short duration, hav-
ing been a Member since 1778. During the whole
of that period.be bad never deserted the cease of
the peopi& [Loud cries of never, sever.] He
had in the firstitistasice opposed the American war,
and that systent of policy that had .since involved
this country in so much calamity.: lie was confi-
dent, that 1111011 a review of his political life,
they must look upon him all a. sincere friend of
the people. Ho bad always explicitly del
dared his sentiments, and bad never disguised.
his opinions in favour of any set of men. He
confessed that lie was a decided party-man, con.
Mitering party as nothing but principle, and there-
fore differed (ruin some of the sentiments they had
heard on that subject. What was party, he said,
but principle? and what had brought about the
Revolution but party, united on sound consti-
lotions!' principles ? He approved of party in
a good cause, and wished them again to look at
his political life to judge if he had -ever had any
object of hi, own its view. If he had connected
himself with party, it was because he thought that
party right, and formed on constitutional groueds.
He should always befriend a party that had any
laudable °N IA in view, not on the ground of its
being a party, but from the principles it support.
cal. A Worthy Gentleman, a Member of the
House (Colonel Wardle) had said, that he should
have given his support to a motion, even for
electing the first 658 men that should cross West.
tuitister Brhige. • lie did out recollect the exact
numbers of which the House was composed, but
whatever that number was, lie was not certainly
prepared to go that length. He wished a full
and free Representation of the 'People, and
had voted against the American war, on the ground
that taxation and representation should be ever
united. Every man hail the same interest in his
propocty as a Freeholder, whatever that inte-
rest might be,. and therefore had a right to the
elective franchise as well as Freeholders. He
should ever be a friend to general suffrage, and
would be always ready to advocate the cause of
Reform. lie again thanked the Stewards fur the-
pulite invitation they had given him, though he
had no vote for Westminster, and declared his sp.
probation of their political principles. [Loud'
applause.] Had his sentiments been contrary ti
theirs, he should not have this day appeared
amongst them. His presence was a pledge that hit
should be ever ready to support any measure com'
nected with the rights and liberties of the people.
lie approved of the independence the Electors of
Westminster had sheen in the election of their
Members, and hoped that their independent con:
duct would serve as an example to others. [Loud
applause.] -
Colonel WARDLE stylist rose, In consequence of hav-
ing been misunderstood by the Hon. Gentleman, whose
conduct and sentiments be so highly respected. He had stated,
that unconnected with any party, they had been accused bf
opposing every plan of reform that did not proceed from '
themselves; on the contrary, he slid, that, for the sake of
discussion, he would support any plan of reform, were it
even to elect the lint 658 persons that should eras Westmin-
ster-bridge, as Members of the Howe. He did. net, for a
moment, suppose this would be a proper representatio• of
the people, but being convinced that they could not be worlle
represented than they now were, be would give his support
to any plan, even to so absurd a one as this, which might
create discussion, and open the eyes of the people to their
real situation. The Honourable &adman' had misunder-
stood him, hot be trusted their principles were the same.—
itoud Apple:uses.]
The Chairman then proposed the health of " Mr. Brand,
and the Minority of 115, in favour of Parliamentary Re-
form," which was drank, amid the loudest bursts of applause,
with three times three.

Mr. DON NF. wns then called on for awn, which he snag
mach to the satisfaction of the company, and which, was ex-
pressly written for the occasion by the Gentleman himself,
containing the warmest sentiments of liberty, and high enco-
miums on Sir Francis Burdett. as the friend of !febrile.
" The Independent Citizensof Liverpool" was then drank
with three times three.

Mr. SMALLEY being called upon for a song, sung one
formerly sung by Mr. Diplom, in praise of Sir Francis Bur-
dett, which was well ekecuted and well received.
Mr. POWER expressed his entire concurrence lathe ge-
neral sentiments of those Gentlemen wh i had preceded him,
and assured the Meeting, that nothing but a conscientious
conviction of the propriety of the proposition he was about.
to submit, and a confident expectation of their unanimous
acquiescence in that proposition, could urge him to offer him-
self to their attention. lie could not indeed doubt of the
support of such an assembly, when he bad to propose the
health of that unequalled individual, WilliamsCobbett—
[.fcelamations of applause], of that prodigy of intellect
and iudependesce who had so materially advanced the lute-
rest of thigr great cause—of him who was equally bold and
industrious in proclaimiug to the people the virtues of their
fricarls, and the vices of their enemies—in teaching them io
Whom it was safe to conbde,*aod of whom it was prudent to
beware—and who had earned, by his eminent labours, the
hatred of those bad men, by whose complicated maligoity
he uoderstond that this distinguished man was &beat to be
I. brought before a penal tribunal, for the publication of what
iris called a libel. Mr. P. eeaduded with propaskig the
health of William Cobbett, and his acquittal by an lewd
Jury. [/Ipploure.]
Lord COCHRAN r. stated from the Chet, that be had
had such a toast in contemplation. but was Cred.'from
giving it. till the list of tomb put into his had bees
gone through. With permission of the tonm,'hoSiever, he
should propose the toast now suggested, supposiisg•

that Mr. Cobbett Wai actuated by no other motive in his pub-
lie exertions than principles of honesty and potriotima. Ile
concluded by repenting the toast, which was desalt with
three times three. The Noble Lord then gave .
The Independent Citizens of Worcester, •
which was drank with three times three.
Mc. PALMER, as a citizen of Worcester. could not for-
bear retarakv his thanks to the company. The majority of
the eitiseas of Worcester felt as they did on the great tuitional
subjects that had come before them. He had the happiness
also to inform them, that Sir Francis Burdett was not less

that House afforded sufficient enefinnasioe of the present state

proposed, mid the hest mode was to call on aft who paid nixes

doubt that the majority of the people would alma), seed up
the best qualified persons. There was no reason to believe, i
that.the people would be led away by every speaker at 4 t
public meeting. They had only to look at Westminster. Had
.not this City sent op men of weight and conseatence in the
reentry, instead of flying on mere public declaimers t There
was little danger of the people being wrong. if left

people. The Constitution. in this respect. was well under-
Old, without the keemity ttf going into any Committee.
Had a Committee been granted, he had no doubt but that
there would have been twenty plans propored.---The
Borough•Mooogers would have taken care to propose a va-
riety of plans, in order to defeat any new. plan that might
have beeu suggested. The tack was., that no new plans were
required. It was necessary to follow the spirit of the Comti-
ninon. which sufficiently suggested the teinedy The plan
of Sir F. Burdett. that had been so Moth talked'ef, was not
his, it was the pine of the Constitution.-r--The Constitu-
tion supposed that every man contributi to the main-
tenance of the State represented. So Pear as this was
not the case, the Constitution was departed front, and no
phut was required but to revert to the' Constitution itself.
the House of Commons was like a cannon, designed for the
defence of the petit*, and the destruction of the enemy
but if this cannon was full of holes, there was more chance,
therefore. of its injuring the people than hurting the enemy.
What was to be done with a cannon in this stater The Noble
Lord knew well that every such gun was condemned, and or-
dered to be sent to be re-melted and madded anew. Such
was the present state of the Representation of the country.
It was necessary to bring It back to its original principles.
'and to do this a Reform was absolutely necessary. this
speech was heard with. much attention and applause.
Au Elector gave, us a toast—
" Sir Francis Burdett in the Tower, anti his Enemies in the
ditch."
which was drank with great applause.
Soon after ten o'clock, Lord Coehrone, with a number of
his friends, left the room, and the company began to disperse..
The few who remained devoted another hoar to conviviality
and good humour, expressing the 50n:44(.0m they had expe-
rienced, and all eager in the good cause. Upwards of 500
persons were present, a camber having dined in the adjacent
rooms, who could not find isceommueNtion in the large one.
The slimmer was abundant, and every thing of the best quality.
The wines were excellent, and not a few of the amateurs in-
dulged in a second honk. Great regularity and decorum
were observed during the whole evening.
