THE STATESMAN

the measure •through Parliament, tide peep's •of this
country would net have permitted it to be carried Into
effect, and the attempt would have raised such a callsi
vulsion as would have defeated the unjust desigatelii
Ministers, and severed the liberties of the people. Afil
to his own opinion of the conduct of the Queen, he
trusted that the. Fait which he had taken from the
very outset of the proceedings agaitest her Majesty
was in the recollection of the Meeting. He was the
very first to raise his voice in Parliament against the
bribe which had been offered to her on the one hand,
and the.menace which had been held out to her on the
ether. He was the first to protest against a proceed.
ing. which was not only an insult to the Quern, but
an insult and indignity to the people of England—
(Applause).—What was the diletnusa in which these
scourges of the country, his Majesty's present
Ministers. had placed themselves ? If they be-
lieved one thousandth part of the evidence which
the legal advisers of the Crown, to their own
disgrace, and to the disgust and indignation of
the country, bad vomited forth against her Majesty--
if, believing this, they dared to compromise the dig-
nity oP the Crown, and waste the public resources by
offering to recognise her as Queen, and to purchase
her Absence by a bribe of 511,000 f. a year, then they
deserved to be isupeacised; if, on the other band. they
did not believe the charges,
.how dared they bring
forward such a measure ? [cheers] He defied them to
get out of this dileuiusa ; it this dilemma which
weighed them down and oppressed them, not, indeed,
with a sense of shame, but with that guilty conscious-
sees which profligacy feels at its own 'detection. Look-
ing it the calamities of which these men were the
authors, when coufnsion. distress and dismay pervade I
every part of the empire, and recollecting, as the
people had too much casts'. to remember, that their
administration had been a series of continued aggres-
shins against the !freedom, the commercial prosperity,
and the domestic happiness of Englishmen, it was the
duty of every man who valued his country, and who
had any regard fur his own family ard his own house,
to come forward and rescue the nation from the hands
of men, who, by abusing the confidence which had
been reposed in these, hail acted as traitors both to
the Crown and the country [continued applause].
H aviag said thus much, he was confident that so far
from incurring the censure of the Meeting, he should
receive their applause u hen he declared broadly and
boldly on this occasion, as he had done on ail others,
that there were 501 OP passages in the Address to the
Queen to which he could nut assent. lie had said
enough, however, to convince them, that there was no
part of the Address wbieh went to arraign the con•
duct of the present Ministers, whirls slid not meet with
his entire concurrence. Of their conduct, no man
who reflected upon the prand state of England twenty
years ago, and the state to which they bad reduced it
now, could entertain a donbt ! Melauelsuly, indeed,
were time reflections which such a couipariesin was cal.
cnlated to excite, and n e might well say to Ministers,
this is your work ; these calamities you aml your tub-
services tool, the Parliament, have brought upon the
country; congratulate yourselves upon the rein you
hare mask, for it is all the labour efiesir heads, and
the sweat of your brow, and you have succemied to
your beans content in reducing this once flourishing
country to such a state, that they site Inseiir it twenty
694Iars ago can scarcely believe it to be the same country.
With respect to that part of the Address which prayed
his Majesty to dismiss his present Ministers, he wish-
ed to say a few words. Ile was aware that it was
commonly imputed to men in public stations, that
they were only anxious to get rid of one set of Mini-
sters, in order that they might themselves weepy their
places. He would only observe with reference to such
an imputation; that in time present state of the country,
he did not think it possible to inflict a greater cala-
mity upon any man than to sna'ae bins a Minister. He
would suppose the man so elevated to be a map of
laudable and just ambition, anxious to do all the pod
that could he effected fur his country, of pure and
honourable intentions, of inflexible integrity, and of
just. sound, ronstitntional views, and yet, with all
these favourable circumstances, sorb was the present
state of the country, that his bitterest enemy audit
scarcely mists him a worse situation. His would be me
bed of roses, as Lord Castlereagh had said, to repair all
the wrongs, to remedy all the grievances, of which tins
present Ministers were the authors,—to restore too.
fidenre where all confidence bad been destroyed, to
bring back tranquillity and domestic security, wheel
the bonds asocial happiness had keen torn asunder,
to re-establish content where the seeds of discontent
had been sown, and suffered to ripen to maturity--
this was a task, in which it wet scarcely possible for
any new Administration to succeed, and he feared that
more would be expected from their hands than it was
possible for human ability to perform. He is ulted,,
however, that, under the present circumstances of flee'
country, no public man would undertake to repair, as,
far as was practicable, the ravages which the present
Ministers had made, without giving, be would not says
a pledge of his intentions to carry into effect a Reforms
Parliament, but whistled making a el.kr and dies
tines statement of what he could, and What be MO
willing to effect. Unless he did that, the people et
England would not give him their support.--(Aps
please.)--All the influence arising from church pa-
tronage, the support of !State paupers on the one side,
aril of pensioners on the other, the hutnenne influence
arising from the taxes, time hare collection of which
*client as much as the whole amount of the revenue at
ship bKlMlmt of the late reign, all this enormous in-
itiesale . avail him nothing, listless he
were backed and supported by the confidence
of the people. That confidence could only be
obtained by the honest discharge of his public
duty, and by a sincere desire for the amelioration
of public morals, which might prevent the recurrence
of thaw heart-rending exhibitions which every month
outraged the feelings of humanity, and reflected dis-
grace on the character of the country. He again ex-
pressed his co:sviction that no man could obtaia the
&madam of the people without giving a distioet
pledge of his intuition to redress the friersoses
easier which the eenatry laboured, sod resehnled by
Amadei the ilieming for the attendee with which

Lion the declarstioM of Sir Francis Barden, Bart. and
John Cain Hobhoustr, Esq., of the propriety and neces-
sity of itnpeaching his Majesty's Ministers, for their
meconstitutional and illegal proceedings against the
Queen, and also for tOe titration) violation of the con-
stitutional rights of the salsjitet which has long charac-
terised their counsels and raeasares; and that this
Meeting, feeling' the greatest conlitenee in the seal,
perseverance, industrys and talents of their 'Representa-
tires, do hereby request that Sir Francis Berdetk Bart.
and John ram ilobhouse, Esq. will undertake, is the
name and on the behalf of the people of England, to
more and conduct an impeachment of the Ministers of
the Crown, and that the other Members of Parliament
now present be requested to support the same."
Sir F. BURDICTT trusted that the Meeting would not
adopt such a Resolution as this upon the spur of the
moment. The propriety of impeaching his Majesty's
Ministers was one thing ; the necessity of doing so
was another. There was another consideration of
great importance, which the person with whom this
Resolution had originated appeared to have overlooked
—namely, the propriety of doing the thing effectually.
They had not considered the means of the present
Meeting to carry the Resolution into effect, or the
means and powers of the persons who were instructed
to propose such a measure. This was not the time
and place fur such a Resolution. He supposed no
man would doubt his (Sir F. Burdett's) readiness to
lend all his assistance to obtain justice for the conn-
txy, and an inquiry into that long course of mal-ad-
' miuistratiou under which the people had laboured.
He trusted the people of Westminster would give him
credit for being at all times ready to use his best ex-
ertions in the public cause, and, at the same time, be
felt persuaded that they would not adopt a Resolution
of this kind at such a time without reflection, and call
upon him to undertak. a great and important measure,
which it would ba utterly out of his power to carry
into effect.

Mr. Bexnow said he had not been convinced by
the arganients of the Hon. Baronet, and that he should
still feel it his duty to press bis motion. The Hon.
Baronet hail talked of the inadequacy of their means
sod forces, but surely they had forcaenongh to make
the attempt; they had at least force enough to endea-
vour to chain the iron hand of despotism, and let the',
result be what it might, it would teach Ministers an
important lesson.
Mr. lionnouse said, there could be no doubt of
his lion. Colleague's desire tb chain the iron hand of
despotism, and to co-operate cordially in any measure
which could lead to such a result ; but the question
now was, whether the Resolution which had been pro-
posed was calculated to effect the object it had in
view ? If they thought the passing of such a Reso-
lution was the best way of effecting that object, an-1
dotibtedly lie should feel it is duty to be bound by their
decision. and to endeavour, as far as lie ass able, to
give effect to it. They had elected him as their ser-
vant, and as their servant he considered himself bound
to obey their instructions. At the sense time he
begged them to consider whether the passing of this
Resolutieu was likely to lead to the object which they
had in view. Ile entirely concurred with his Hon.
Colleague, that in the present state of Parliament, the
punishmeat of Ministers was not likely to be effected
in this way. They would recollect that in the lam
rSessips of ParUousent, when a motion was mad.
for an inquiry into the state of the nation, only MO
Members of that Parliament voted eren for an inquiry
into the grievances of the people. That same Perlis-
ment hail supported the present Ministers throughout
the whole of the late nefarious proceedings. In an
assembly so constituted there could be little hope that
any endeavour.on the part of his Honourable Colleague
and himself, to bring Ministers to justice, would be
attended with success.
Mr. Bexaow withdrew his motion.

Si: P. DeIIDISTT was glad the motion bad been
withdrawn, fur had they passed such a Resolution
under such circumstances, it would not only have
'been utterly ineffectual, but in every point of view
unadvised and childish. if the people of England,
however, felt u the Electors of Westminster did
this subject. and they chose to Petition Parliament to
luiprach Ministers, that mode of proceeding might by
possibility have some practical effect, but a mere Re-
solution passed at a public meeting, however respecta-
ble, consoled for another purpose, would not only be
'Try inexpedient and ineffectual, but childish, and

mieo, like the sues-bid shield of Aehilies, 64 they
net been opposed by talents. super-ministerial. Their
,acmes, although frustrated, were, however. worthy
of themselves and of their patrons. If they hat; suc-
ceeded in persuading the Lord Mayor (who is not one
of the inspired) to aster Sldmon:h to aid him with the
presence of the military, on the 29th November, they

a certain number of salutary measures of coercion.
Another favourite doctrine is, that the Queen and her

and that the Administration and their adherents, vir-

The Funds since the shutting of the Consols
on Tuesday, have been gradually rising without
any particular cause, except the plentifulness
of money. Consols were yesterday 701 fur

ing 704 i, which is now about the prier, the market
looking very steady. The remainder of the primite
failures have been posted in conspicuous places in

The Manifesto, containing the grand resolutions

of bringing her own affairs into a similar flourishing

The delusion, indeed, is all on the other side, where
there may be said to be nothing but delusion.
Amongst the means resorted to, in order to maintain
and strengthen the existing infatuation, great pains,
I andarstand, have been taken to persuade the Kies,
that the immense multitudes assembled to do homage
to her Majesty, on Wednesday last, on her way to and
tans St. Paul'., were a mere rabble. Not only nothing
more tnlse, bet nothing more diametrically opposite to
the trusts has ever been uttered. To those who have

in any age, or nation, an assembly at once so nume-
rous and so respectable. Front my own observation,
as well as from that Bother spectators, not Ministe-
rial, and who hare no motive to lie, I am persuaded
that nineteen twentieths of the half million of persons
who were probably assembled in the line of the pro-
cession. consisted of the sound body of the virtuous
English nation, whilst not more than one-twentieth
could have been composed of the scum and dregs. 1
have been present at Lord Nelson's funeral, and at
'other public processions, in this country. I have
witnessed Buonaparte's grand religions procession,
which the wits of Paris stigmatized by the designa•
tion of "Capucinade," when he first, unhappily for
him, conceived the idea of being a legitimate. But
any thing like the procession in honor of the triumph
of Quern Caroline, I hare never seen, and I never ex-
pect to see, if I should live fifty years, unless it should
be to protect her Majesty, if that should be necessary,
from fnrth r persecution.
Waving for the present, all comments en the absurd
attempts at Cabinet making, of which we Lear daily
rammer, and wishing our actual state-undertakers nd
greater punishment than that they may be doomed to
finish their career in office, (since it is not likely that
any persons can be found desperate enough, without
a radical change of system, to take their placesoff
their hands) I shall conclude this letter with a friendly
hint fur the guidance of their future views against
her Majesty. It appears to me that nothing short of
supernatural faculties can account for her Majesty's
daring to encounter, but still more fur her baffling,
the unprecedented array of power, which has been
brought to hear against her in the course of the recent
proceedings ; and that, therefore, she ought to be
treated as a wirch. It is most certain that she has
be-devilled the MiAisters, and bewitched the nation.
A wig' for witchcraft, and the appropriate punish-
ment of yarning alive, would be fit sequels to the
Bill of Pains and Penalties: and the failure of all
proof if an adulterous intercourse with Bergand, is
no 'earls why the persecutors of the Queen should
despair of bring able, by witnesses still more infernal,
t show that her Majesty must have had intercoerse
with the devil. Sentence being pronounced, there
would be no want of inquisitors in this civilised age,
to direct this apt. daft. The difficulty would be, frons
amongst numbers, to make the selection. A gallant
Admiral might think it a distinguished honour to
apply the snatch.

Berry been murdered, the Oorernment would have been

difficult points was, the army, which however showed
itself during the last session more royalist tbaa it was es-
pee tell to be. A great number of the officers who served's-
, der Bonaparte have bees accustomed to have an other'
opinion than that of their master, and it is of little im-
portance to them whether they wear a white or IH-co-
loured cockade, provided they are paid. Besides there

MADRID, Nov. 20.—The KING is still at the Es-

ing the people to preserve tranquillity, and declaring
it to be the Kamo's intention to repair to Madrid on
the 21st. Notwithstanding Lie Decree of the Cortes,
suppressing patriotic societies, several have been
formed, and discourses are frequently delivered at
them in favour of the Canstitution. Count 511111 AN DA,

effected at the instance of the Ministry.

ST. JOAN. MARGAILITTA, OCT. 1.--The affairs of
the Patriots on the Main continue to present a favour-
able aspect. and the campaign seems to be approach-
log to a crisis. I understand that General Bouvan
has directed the Provisional Government at Angos-
tura to repair to Cucuta. which induces the idea that
he considers the country around Cucuta to be com-
pletely exempt from Spanish influence. The defection
among Illoatu.o's Creole troops increases. A Gene-
ral and his entire division has gone over to the Pa-
triots.

FROM ANGOSTCRA.—Captain Vandine, arrived yes-
terday from Angostura. informs that, before he sailed,
it was reported that Carthagena had surrendered to the
Patriots on the Bth November.

from the Nary department. for fitting the Constitution

gates from the principal Atlantic States, representing
the merchants and others interested in Commerce, as
sembled at Philadelphia. the following Resolution,
were unanimously adopted---and ordered to be pub.'
liaised :
I. Resolved, as the opinion of this Convention, theta
system of Commercial restrictions is unfavourable to in-
dustry, aod that sound policy dictates the least practica-
ble restraint upon individual enterprise and exertion.
S. Resolved, That the greatest possible revenue, re-
quired by the national interests. should be collected from
commerce, on account of the ease, economy, and natality
of its milection; bet that this cannot be effected bet
by the imposition of such a rate of duties as will Dot be
a restraint epos importations, nor furnish an inducement
to smuggling.
3. Resolved, That by every important change of the
Tariff, the nation sustains an immense loss of productive
labour: A well digested Tariff therefore, should nem be

JoHN VAUGHAN, Secretor,.

the proceedings of the Westminster Meeting yes.-
terday will be read with interest. Though the wea-
ther was unfavourable for a numerous assetnislage in
the open air, it did not damp the ardour of the
friends of the Queem and of their country. The
presence of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT on the occasion,
after such a tedious detention from puhlic bnsioess by
indisposition, diffused the warmest joy moong his
admiring constituents; and the; just and liberal
feelings he so energetically exp d were well
calculated to excite additional animation. The
speiches of Mr. HODROURE and of Mr. 0. Eraser
kept up the tone of public sentiment, and will be
read with high satisfaction. Compared with these,
how fiat, stale, and inefficient, the efforts of the
enemies of the people ! Let the venal journals
of the Ministers call, as they do to-day, upon
the corporate bodies to follow the honourable example
of the sapient Court of Aldermen! In the present
strong and noble state of public feeling, all the arts of
corruption will be unavailing, if Englaad to herself
be true. Well might Sir Phone's Beattarr say, in
reference to that spirit which has been, and whici coo-
-1 tinues to be displayed, that he ever woald he proud
of being one of the people of England.
The variety and importanceof the several articles which
611 our columns to day, allow hut little room for comment.
Among others which from their obvious interest will
obtain attention, we cannot avoid referring to that rela-
ting to the Court. The first Lord of the Treasury, and
the President of the Council are not in the list of the
noble personages who yesterday paid their respects to
his Majesty. The fact is, that the Earl of Lsveneoot. is
now at Walser antis (on his journey to which, by the
bye, he was very shansefally treated by some of the po-
i palace at Caatorkury). Mr. Criantso, it appears, has
proceeded thithet to join his Lordship. Our readers,
will, of coarse, remember what we have already stated,
respecting these distinguished personages, sod will be
prepared to attach some credit to a rumour which pre-
vails that a certain Marquis is not unlikely to become
the successor of the fennel..
