Parliament ; Mr. Downing, the Senior Churchwarden.
in the Chair.
The Requisition baring been read by the Vestry..
Clerk,
Mr. BLICII rase. He felt much gratified by the
commanding attitude which the liberal part of the la-
balliteats had assumed on this occasion, aid he hailed
it as a proof of the abhorrence with shirk the reseal
proceeding against the Queen were vii-wed by them.'
hose proceedings were without parallel in the history
.4 this country, and were alike destructive of the best
inte►ests both of the Crown and the people. Already
had the whole nation prononnced this opinion, except,,,
indeed, that portion of it who were immediately subr
serrient to' tie Crown, and consequently mould not•
g; ire their real sentiment. without risking the loss of
their places; therefore, if the public feeling was to
be taken as a criterion, the tQueet, might btioaid, not-'
withstanding all that her eaegioi• might user to the
ustrary--notwithstanding the nauseating contents
of their filthy Deems Bag—notwithstanding their
eiviiioeal, their inconsistent witnesses, to be already
acialtted of the crimes imputed to her (rood applause).
Her Majesty, it was true. had many enemies, and they
hid strong reason for being so : but that those one
tele% or indeed any enemies to the Queen, cosh! be
fAnil in this parish, might reasonably excite ,S
st.rprim ; 'and it was with pain he informed theta that
such persons existed, but he prophesied that they were
really toolmaignificant to require any notice, or to excite
tie least apprehension. There was an honour in bold,
personal opposition, and we were generally inclined ra-
ther to respect an individual whoopposed 1.1.4 fare to face.

posing the first Resolution, that adutiful and loyal
