firssrmiNsrEA MEETING:
__-....
A Meeting took place this day in Covent-Oarden, for
the purpose of taking into cowideratiod the propriety of
presenting to her Most Gracious Majesty, lute Queen, an
humble, loyal, and affectionate Address of Cottgratula-
lion, on the result of the late proceedings against her
Majesty ; and also, to take into consideration the pro- I
priety of presenting to his Most Gracious Majesty, the,
King, un humble, loyal. and Jaffa Petition, beseeching
his Majesty that he would be graciously pler set] to dis- !
miss his present Ministers; and to supply their places I
by men likely to adopt measures caLulated to restore the
country to tranquillity and happiness, and to give i
strength and security to his Majesty's Throne.
The thus Balmer took the Chair at one o'clock.
Sir F. Burdett, Mr. Bohhouse, Mr. Brooks, and the
whole of the Westminster Committee attended as ear!)'
as 12 o'clock, at the Rainbow (offer house. Hustings
were erected for the occasion, in the open space opposite
to Richardson's Hotel. Sir F. Burdett, we are sorry to
inform one readers, bore evident marks of having su6red
severely from indisposition, and looked very ill.
The business of the Meeting was opened by the
High Bailiff's reading the Requisition. The Resolu-
tions, fire in number, were then read anti moved by
Mr. 0 miner, and seconded by Mr. Fische, without
any remarks; they were pot by the High Bailiff, and
carried unanimously. An Address to her Majesty
was then read and received by the same Gentleman
who moved the Resolutions, and was in like manner
put by the High liailiff, and unanimously agreed t
An Address to the King, petitioning his Majesty to
dismiss his Ministers, was then read and unanimously
agreed to.
It was then proposed by Mr. ti tnoxEß, that the Duke
of Bedford, Earl Grosvenor, Earl Carnarvon. and Lord
Erskine be reqnested to present the same to the King.
This ws seconded by Mr. FISCHE, who very briefly
alluded to the prosecutions against their respected Re-
presentative.
Sir Foist is fit'aDETT observed, ha was afraid
the Ministers calculated on the known good humor
of his countrymen, fur carrying measures hostile to
the constitution ; unless the language of rebuke was
adopted, unless examples inch as had lately been cuts
hibited were followed .np he bad no hopes of redress ;
be did hope the country had not yet lost sight of that
iniquitous transaction at Manchester. The feelings of
the Worthy Baronet, on that occasion, did honour to
his noble wind, and rendered him ten times d to
every sincere friend of the country. lie fully con-
curred in the proposition which was unanimously
agreed to.
Mr. tiannxra moron a vote of thanks to Sir F.
Burdett, Mr. ilobbouse, and this was seconded and
carried with the most tumultuous applause.
Sir Fassicis Buencrr addressed the Electors.—
Geatlemen, I attend here to fulfil my duty, to
lend my humble efforts, to carry into egret'
any propositions that may, by a majority of
this Meeting be considered consintive M .

The servile agents of the Court, are, as we expected,
quite elate with the ebullitions of loyalty that appear
in the city. " The Conrt of Aldermen," says one of
their papers this morning, bare come to a resolution,'
correspondent to the' tone and vigour of the feeling!
now spreading so rapidly throughout England." A
very pretty exhibition did the Court of Aldermen
yesterday present, on a division of eight against six ;
and wonderful was the resolution to which Mr.!
Alderman BRIDGES and his other seven wise men
of the East, had the spirit to come. They " determine
to maintain the Throne from all attacks, and to pro-1
test our Religion and Laws from every inroad ;" and
is a Declaration from the Merchants, Ranker!, fo
may be looked for in a few days, as well as from the
&c." If these loyal enterprises should I
prove among the higher orders the causes of as much
division and riunter-action as appeared in the Court
of Aldermen yesterday, we cannot think their authors
will hare any reason to rejoice; and if they should
only have the effect, at which they appear to aim, of
widening the distinction between the higher and the
lower orders, the consequences may be such as the pro-
jectors may have great (Occasion to lament. Nothing
has been more completely manifested than that the
late proceedin: s against the Wass:, have roused a
feeling of tl e warmest indignation through the vast
majority of the nation, against the spirit that gave
them birth. That spirit they find identified with the
Adou&stration and with that corrupt, part of the
Political System which Ministers uphold ; and
against both the klinisters and the system of
corruption the people have with unanimity and
firmness determined to express their abhorrence and
resentment. To ascribe the demonstration of their
good old English sense and sentiment, according to
the trite and nauseous cant of the hypocritical, self-
styled, loyalists, to the circulation of sedition, and
blasphemous pamphlets, is an insolent absurdity.
That sentiment pervades the best informed and best
ordered minds of every rank, independent of the I
sway of interest and fear; and it only shelve itself
more boldly in those of the middle and the lower
ranks, because they are the most exempt from the
seductions of infuence.

Yesterday, soon after one o'clock, the King arrived
at his Palace in Pall-Mall, from Windsor, in his Ira-
