more! Mr. TROWER (High Sheriff) said, he should first ad-
vert to the point tot etiquette alluded to by the Hon.
Baronet. This was a constitutional meeting ; free-
holders were a part of the Constitution, the inhabitants
were not ; they were now assembled in the county-court,
where only the freeholders were understood to meet ;
therefore the requisition was constitutionally limited.
The inhabitants knight, if they chose, call a meeting fur
the same purpose. -But the object of their meeting was
to express their sorrow for the death of his late Ma-
jesty, and their satisfaction at the accession and
recovery of his present Majesty. The honourable
seconder had justly said, that his late Majesty's
reign had been a long and an eventful reign. It
had been so; but be regretted that political events
shonld be at all introduced in delineating the character
of his late Majesty. 'I he separation of Arteries, and they
revolutionary war of Fraace, had excited feelings and
opinions which bad net yet received fell explanation.
1 hose great events had, it was true, come to a temporary
termination; but it was still r ed for posterity to
form their judgment of the principles winch then in-
fluenced public men. The temporary passions excited
by those events, and the feelings associated with the
great leaders that distinguished themselves during that
period, must be buried in the tomb ere an accurate, a
just, and impartial decision can be obtained. His late
Majesty had come to the throne at a difficult, an awful
crisis. lie had begun to reign when the p.ogress of
knowledge, the diffusion of education, the general spread
of civilisation among all classes of the people, gave a
character and decision to national movements never
known before. Those principles were in full operation
when he began to reign, and produced different effects
in different nations, according to the obstacles opposed
to them. From those principles sprung the separation
of America and the French revolutionary war. But his
late Majesty 's character was independent of these events.
His sincere and unaffected piety, his cheerful and bene-
volent manners; his meekness, affability, and charity;
Iris manly virtues and eudearing sentiments; these con-
stituted him a great toad a good man, independently of all
political questions.—(tireat applause.)—ln arbitrary and
despotic tioverunients, the temper and decision of the
Sovereign it ere of the ninon importance. It was other-
wise in a political Constitution, such as ours. The Mo-
narch could neither make nor unmake laws. Yet was
his character of WO importance to the naticn. His
natural influence, his station in society, his wishes, his
example, all conspired to render his sentiments and his
conduct iniportant to the nation. By the virtuous feel-
ing and correct conduct which he displayed, he became
a beacon to direct the nation in the way they should go.
Might they at once revere his virtues and follow his ex-
ample! It was matter of much joy to them all that hie' Ft'
sent Majesty was one who had loved and respected his
venerated fa.ber, and who would follow his example is
ruling over the British nation. The prayer of all wan
that he might reign lung over a happy, loyal, fast,
united. prosperous, and virtuous people (applause); that
11.- might promote increase, and maintain the civil and
religious rights and privileges of the nation; and that
at length toe might descend into the tomb of his an-
cestors, followed by the same veneration and regret
which now attended his revered father.—(Oreat ap-
plause.)
The address was then agreed to, neiniac eortirtadieeste,
and ordered to be signed by the High Sheriff, and pre-
sented by him, accompanied by the Lord-Lieutenant
and the Members of the county.
Some doubts arose as to the propriety of embracing
esnololence and congratulation in the same address, hut
no precedent being accessible, it was agreed that the
usual custom should he adopted.
The Rev. Mr. Samsost wished the words " in Church I
anti State" to he introduced after Coastitutioo, butt ft '
was judged unneeessary.
Thanks were unanimously voted to the mover and se-1
gooier of the address. 1
It was intimated, at the close of the meeting, that the
Clerk of the Peace was there to receive the oath of alle-
giance of such as wished to take it.

THZ BRITISH TTAT[SIIAN IS INCORPORATED WITH " THZ

LONDON:

WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 16, 10320.
—is,.

This is a day of heartfelt grief and affliction to
the whole Royal Family, of sorrow in an especial
canner to all those who witnessed ■nd were bene-
*fitted by the private virtues of the departed Sove-
reign: and likewise a day of seriousness to all who
inhabit these kingdoms, being apprised that in the
evening of it the mortal remains of thu venerable
KIM) GEoana 111. will be committed to the silent
and sacred depository of the House of Brunswick.
The reign of this Prince has been so protracted,
that its termination has acquired a mournful no-
velty, cnd by consequence we cannot winder that
it is the subject of conversation every where, and
that persons are attracted from the greatest dis-
tances to catch a gliMpse of what but a few, com-
paratively speaking, among the living crowd, have
witnessed in the preparation for the obsequies of a
dead King.

Windsor, it is said, never exhibited any thing
like what it does at this instant.—The inconve-
niences and privations which many undergo, only
to be present on the spot where the awful ceremony
of the Royal funeral takes place, are unspeakable ;
for maay among them must return home ungratified
in their wishes. No one can wonder at this dutiful
and grateful tribute paid to the mortal part of a
Sovereign, whose private life and conduct are ac-
knowledged, by every man living, to have been
amiable and exemplary, insomuch that the pious
are in no concern for the immortal part, considering
him as a man

We presented our Heiden, on Monday. will
some intelligence from Galway, of a date so resell
as the 7th instant. Further accounts have arrived
in town, but dated February 3d. In these a v
important circumstance (if true) is related; in
thenticity we certainly must doubt,—we, however,
present It to our Readers as we have received it.

tion in consequence waited on the Marquis st
Hastings, to communicate such Resolution, ad
to solicit permission to erect the Statue in Tank-

very cordially, and acceded to their request.

We cannot learn that any account of the Quass
has been recei►ed in England during the last few
weeks, either as to her health or immediate resi-
dence. These inquiries become more important
every hour to the British public. The subject must
be treated of ere long, and largely and full•
treated of.

The arairs of Old Spain are still in obscurity,
but we may truly say, proceed in a course the very
opposite to the progress of those of New Spain.—
The former moving, as far as concerns the Govern-
men of Madrid, from bad to worse; while those of
Spanish America advance in a ratio of prosperity,
beyond the most sanguine expectations of the trans-
atlantic patriot.

Our readers, we trust, will not think the worse •
of us, for falling into so apparent mistake, the cause
of which had so general an operation. When, in
Tut STATESMAN of yesterday we announced, ac-
cording to the very strong rumour, nay, almost the
certainty from circumstantial evidence, that the
KING and certain of his advisers entertained senti-
ments and opinions so irreconcilable as to have
dissolved their connexion, and broken up the
whole council ; we were not without our reffexions
with regard to the peculiar awful moment, in which
the supposed occurrence had happened. We were
at a loss to know whom to blame on this head:
we did think that the cause of the misunderstanding
would never be done away, but that the erects
ought not to chew themselves till the sclemn and
sad obsequies of the dead Monatch were performed.
The obstacles to a cordial understanding between
the HEAD and the chief MEMBERS of the Cabinet,
we consider to be yet unremoved, and also that
they are actually irremoveable ; for we believe the
former not quite so practices/4e, and the latter not i
quite so plastic as to be moulded to any form which
may gratify power and appease resentment. Not
that we rely on any stubborn virtue of such men ;
but we never have accused them of a furiclity.—
I Though they have insulted public opinion, they are
sufficiently conscious of its weight and influence,
to prevent them from running against it, where
I they have not a shadow of defence for so doing.
!The origin of all this is a delicate question, on which
1 the " law of the case" has been enquired into.—
' That has been pronounced in writing and liters
