Mier the Judges had taken their seats, Mr. Gomm
rage, on the put of the Attorney General, to move for a
. conditipnal order to file a criminal information against
a person named T. Hamilton, of Roscres. lie stated,
that his motion was grounded on two affidavits—one
made by the Attorney General, which stated, that, in the
beginning of the present month, he received a letter
from It • signed T. Hamilton, whiCh" was to' thii
effect : that the writer saw in l'Ac Malin Ersosor; Post
a Report of a speech delivered by the Attorney General,
on a late occasion, in which he called the Orangemen a
gang which endeavoured to beard the Government of
ill? eountry. This the letter designated as " false as
toll," and asked the. Attorney General if he would dare
to tell Lord O'Neill sot it is further mentioned, that i
consequence of the Attorney General's interference with
Dr. Magee, Mr. T. Hamilton lost a situation to which
he Ives entitled by his character and abilities; it de-
clued the writer ail Oringeman, and the sou of an
Orangeman. Mr. Gokold then stated, that the Attorney
General was an utter stranger in the writer of this
letter, and was wholly 'ignorant of the circumstance al.
leged, of his interferencit with Dr. Magee, or any other
person, concerning the veliter of this letter. The second
affidavit was that of Alderman barley, proving that the

A GREAT PERSONAQL
ire not ‘tly misinformed, something

interesting respecting the opinion of a great pereonagi
relative to Reform of Purliarne*t will very soon bec9m
apparent to the public, in spite of every thing that 'can
be done by the Boronghosongers and by the Hero of the
two Red Lions!

BERKSHIRE MEETING.
A meeting was held at ABINGDON. OD MODdlli.

,sts 'Petition for Reform in the Hoare of Commons. .
Tort moved the Petition, wlieliAOli seeensibd t 74
Bow Les, and supported by Lord FoLacwrons, Mr,
MALLET?, Mr. MARSH, Mr. MOROI and Mr. PALMER....
There appears to have been no division; and, of course,
the Petition, which was very neatly drawn up, was cer.
vied unanitnonsly.—Mr. CANNING las often . asserted
that the Parliament works well. This Petition Iran.
larly deduces all the calaithies of the country fro*. the
house of Commons; and it. therefore, prays that the
House will adopt the measures necessary to cause a
change in the constitution of the House. This PetiOos
up, In effect, that which le said, as to this partiesdu
point,precisely what the Norfolk Petition says; 'must's
that, without Reform, there can be no relief. iniettlest
important circumstance, however, belonging to this
Meeting, is, the part taken at It by Lord Foutairrend.l
It is very well known bow his Lordship is situated with
regard to the Boroughs; and, when we hear him
decidedly declare himself for a Reform of the
House of Commons. • we may naturally expect,
that strenuous efforts will be made, and sincere
efforts, too, to effect that object. Mr. CANNING will
have his lands full, without going to Liverpool. When
'he was last there, he affected to laugh at Mr. Paws"
for " attempting to re-kindle the dying embers of Re
form." . The Right Honourable Personage will find
that the embers have got into a blase; and we imagine,
that, whatever he may think of the matter, be will find
it difficult to extinguish that blue. He calls Refuel
Revolution; and Lord Pommy:axe says that there lei
now a " greater Revolution of property going on than I
0 took place during the Civil War in this country, nearly
.44 two hundred years ago, and, therefore, he contended
" that the argument, that Reform would produce Revs-
" lotion, fell to the ground. They already experienced
44 a Revolution. Their sufferings were occasioned by
"it ; and that Revolution. they could trace to the
" laws enacted by the House of Commons."—This is a
statement which will meet the hero of the two Red
Lions, at every tern. Wbat is he to find to answer this?
And what is be to find to answer the statement of a NMI
which is as clear as daylight.; namely, that witbouLti.
Reform, every lauded estate must pus out of the hands
of the present possessor. Lord FoLuesTottx asked;
" were not mortgegee daily foreclosed, and was not
44 landed property hereby passing from the country gee.
.t tlemen, and getting into the hands of jobbers and lout
SG

contractors."—This is a simple question that will be
put to Mr. CANNING; and, in short, this is the simple
question with the landlords; shall we remain in
the boat with the hero of the two Red Lions;
shall we then remain till we bay* lost our last rare ;
or shall we quit him, and save a part, at least, of one
estates? This is the simple question with the landlords;
and we take it that it will require something a little
more than puns and antithesises, to make them deter-
mine to remain in the-boat; yet it is not more than five
months ago since the swaggering hero of the brace of
Red Lions was laughing at the idea of stirring op the
dying embers of reform! This shows that Lc really is
no politician; that he knows very little about the real
state of the public mind ; that he knows very little about
the several interests that are at work to bring those to-
gether Mot have so long beta separated, and to sepa-
rate those Mat have so long been waited. every day
makes the fact more clear, that the landlords, and par-
ticularly the great landlords, hats, at bottom, the same
•interest as the common people; and that, to save the
Ammer, the cordial good will and co-operation of the
latter is necessary. If things go on in their present

this be not a change, let them tell ns what a
change is. The whole of this was supported
by the REv4Docvon L►NGTON ; so that the Church is in
an improving way. As we observed before, the Parsons
went off, when the amended Petition was introduced ;
bat, before they went, the meeting appears to have been
pretty nearly ready to come to fisty cuffs. It divided, at
any rate. It was called by two Magistrates, Mr: Coate
and Dr.L►NGTo\.—Dr.L►No'rott dissolved the meeting,
as far as he could ; so that this Hose and Corner aff.tir
became a pretty thing at last. Mr. COKE will find, be-

,BOURBON WAR.

The Hernia: Chronicle is preparing to Glom the Ali-
ulstere ftir the attack about to be made on Spain by
France.' Its words (of yesterday) are these—

" We have given Ministers credit fora wish to preserve
" peace ; but wo cannot give them credit for adoptinh the
" course most likely to accomplish their object. Had they
" held a high language in the outset, and threatened to
" make common Caere with Spain, the Ultras would never
".have dared to push matters as far as they have done. We
" consider them, therefore, as rceponaible for the cense-
" (licences Vase war, should it take place ; and it it do not,
" they may esteem themselves more indebted to fortune than
" to their own wisdom."

Yes ; and you gave them credit for a great deal more
than a wish. Yon said they had done it. Yon said that Mr.
CANNING had "thrown his shield over the Peninsula."
Not, that he was going to do it; not that he wished to
do it ; but, that be had done it. Thousands of jobbers
believed you ; and their just ruin has been the conse-
quence. But, what do yon mean by the Minister's talc-
ing a high tone, and threatening to make common
cause with Spain ? Do you not know what a ridiculous
figure they most have cut if they bad put forth such a
threat without daring to act upon it ? And do you not
know that they could not have acted upon such
threat without blowing sip the Debt?

NORFOLA PETITION.

--ow-- •
MR. ARCHDEAON BATHURST'S LETTER.
TO TM. MOUILITY, GENTRT. CLRROT. AN FRillioLaiti•
O/ TIM COUNTY OF imavocc.
MY LORDS ARO URNTLIt•IiN OF ALL Priries,
There tire passaees in the petition which has issued
as the Petition of the Coitnty of Norfolk, On the 3rd
of Jan., to which I am of opinion after waturest thought
bad the Meeting been permitted (by those who so im-
prudently, as well as unfairly interrupted Mr. Cobbett,
and thereby aided his proposals) to hear and to under-
stand, the meeting of that day would not have consented.
For the part of the meeting which iilpported Mr. Cob-
bett in a petition which they did not hear, could only; I
am persuaded, intend to sheer their determioation that
in any resolutions of national import, the question of
Parliamentary Reform should not be omitted.
The heat and excessive inconvenience which I saf-
fermi on the hustings, three, times drove me from thence
early in the day, and at a distance, I attempted in vain
with my bat raised a little way from my' head to catch
the eye of the High Sheriff, and to get a bearing both
for Mt. Cobbett and myself at the very time when (I
since leans) the Petition-was puling, amid a tumult
which I coaceived.to be nothing more than the same
which tbroogliont the whole of the meeting prevailed.
only tben raging with antinented violence; and I stood
in such an attitude as (laughably enottgb) to give an
idea that I was supporting a Petition of hhich i did not
hear a word. Had Mr. Cobbett's Petition not exceeded
vi hat I thlniejust in some peints,'lnd MIMI lb expedient
at all events al preseneht others. I' gonad have had no
objection Whatever to support and ttetivole, now that I
have read if, my Nippon of it ;.but l•diel not hear itat
the time of meeting, red *Wit that time upon -reading
the Petition over and over again, I do think that to the
sweeping manlier in which it would dispose of income
and property without expressed equivalent or modifica-
tion or regard to• vested rights, and to the meant...elite
the forcible suspension of moat important payments (at
present, I should treatat least, prematme) the Comity
of Norfolk is committed beyond any possible intention
which the body of Freeholders andinhabitants thereof
could entertain. - • _
I beg leave therefore to propose to the County a fresh
Relluisition to the High Sheriff, composed of the princi-
pal Gentlemen of all.parties, in the terms which under-
neath this letter are written with a view to consider the
',Propriety of adopting Resolutions in Oregano and temper
of those which I venture as underwritten to suggest, and
which I should not presisme to take upon myself to re-
commend, bad I seen any prospect of any attempt being
madd &Om quarters whence it would he more fitting some
such proposal should tome, antl.which I will -propose
myself, If a meeting. be called and no one else will
, toms forleard with. Resolutions .more worthy of
emnice.-41eedred Mediae cannot answer any sufficient
purpose, and are Mids. I think, to many obsjections,
considered ds opposed to a County Meeting. It is not
that I am afraid of the coafiscation of Church Property;
I think mime fresh arraagensents.respeeting Oates west
desirable, and sense atOstettesent, of many twisting claims
by taw which it is inspossilsk for inelicideak by solitary
wrylye to make, andifevenrs briog calamities oil my
profession I hope I shall bear them as well as others.
but I feel myself interested in what I believe to be the
real and truly liberal feelings of Norfolk, end for the
cause of public prosperity and freedom, that the views
of the friends of freedom should not be misconstrued.
I will not joie in any illiberal 'dietitians upon a man
of undeabted talents and force of mind, and who ham tbe'
ammo claim of charity with all mankind. I have
been supported at ether times, on occasions when I
thought st all events, and still think myself right, by
assrayof those who stepported‘Mr.Cubbett upon the till
eabets.tbe Petition of. sius-Ssiof thaw), pawed, -Rat I -
think the Fealties caged not have passetwithost ins.
portant exceptions, had those friends of Reform (of
which I am one, and resolutions in favour.of which, of a
temperate kind, blending the subject of Agricultural
Distress with political causes, I had actually prepared
end should have proposed had I been able to know what
was going on) had those friends of Reform, I say, rightly
understood what they were doing.
I recommend another County Meeting properly eon.
ducted, as nothing else can fairly ascertain the sense of
the County. if the County be for Mr. Cobbett's Peti-
tion, and they think fit for a Nation to declare, what no
individual would do till clearly compelled, via. a Bank-
ruptcy, let the County of Norfolk deliberately say so,
• and if they think that such a declaration, if followed up
in other Counties. is not the way to destroy that confi-
dence which is the soul of public credit, and upon pre-
serving which the peace and safety of the nation.
depend.
The situation which I hold in the Church, the pro-
perty of which is concerned essentially in the propoliali
of Mr. Cobbett's petition, and the anxiety I have, what.
ever my own peculiar opinions may be in a point so ire,
portant as a declaration contained in the petitioo,that
the property of the Church is public property disposable
at the will of Government, that such a declaration on
the part of a great County should not go forth without
the deepest consideration; the sincere wish which I boo
that every emaitabie adjustment may take place without
convulsing the country with more alarm than is necessary;
the veneration which I have foe. the cause of freedom
itself, which as it derives a claim from the progress of
batman opinion ,so it suffers injury when it violently
precedes it, all induce me to couie fornard upon this
occasion.
Mr. Colibett asserts. and I do not doubt his word, that
he did make a free cominonication of the substance
of his Resolutions to 1 Yeoman Wore the usectink.
I can only say, that I was wholly unacquainted with lime
matter of his Petition before I heard that it was passed.
and believe that this was the case with ninety-nine oak
of a hundred that were present at the meeting. Mr.
tlii
Cubbett expresses his reediness to appeal to ano '
County Meatier if there is a doubt an to the seeseof
,IL,lonney being with his Petition ; nothing can be faire
,bed I mar meet his proposals, and invite him to disc
sion_al such a meeting. though far from pretending
cope with him in ability, yet convinced. that thereli
ability in the County fully equal to cope even with. kin
extraordinary powers of mind; and I promise him Rh
will convince me that he is right I will acknowledge m
conviction, only let whatever is done, be done on
sides with candour and with temper. And now m
Lords and Gentlemen, I have performed my duty ; i!
remains fur you to do your's if you are dissatisfied with
the proceedings of the late County Meeting.
Nothing will give me greater satisfaction than if I have
hit upon a method of conciliating all parties to an and,
cable discussion. and as many as possible to the sub.
stance of the Resolutions which I recommend, and
when I see the natural leaders of mankind step forth, I
shall retire into the ranks agaiu in which I had much
rather remain.
I have drawn up Resolutions calculated to conciliate
all who wish to maintain their own opinions, and at the
same time wish to appeal to the Legislature on the sub.
;set of Agricultural Distress. I write this without in.,
tendon to give the smallest offence to any one, and shall
not enter into any vindication of it, in any pawar•—•
let it steed or fall by its own merits ; ant I only
add. that hundred meetings appear to me lOa.astempisg
to defeat an invader in detail and in skirmishes
whom we are afraid to meet in a general action be-
cause we have been once put to confusion when not
sufficiently on our guard. And remember, my Lords
and Gentlemen, that the County stands in the face of
the world committed at present to Mr. Cobbett s Pea-
tido* in its fall extant, and it is vain to shrink from

The estate of Nigel had been mortgaged to
