particularly alluding into. his Councils—[There
was a general exclamation, "it is-lns insult to tie
country"]. Gentlemen, though I have used the
word moderation, I would not have you suppose
that at a crisis like the present it is the moderation
of indifference that will suit ,us. If my house
was on fire, I should not applaud those wbo woukl
play the engines moderately ; or if my vessel had
sprung a leak at sea and the crew- were called to
the pumps in order to save it from being lost, I
-should not say that they did their duty if they
.were to pump moderately. No, Gentlemen, the
means of providing for our safety must. be pro.
portioned to Om danger that assails as, and I am
persuaded in addressins this great .assembly that
while I am recontineadingyou to set with gimlets.
tien,- you mil at the same time act with wisdom
and firmness. [Applause.] Gentlemen, it ap.
pears to sue that the question you are called upon
sotemilly and seriously to consider is infinitely more
interesting than the one. which 'was formerly &Ai.
tated by your forefathers. I mean the question
of General Warrants. It is of more importance
in proportion as the search fur papers under a
general Warrant is of less consequence then seizing
ai man, capturing his person, and taking him to
prison, So far then the present question is more
igteristing than that which occupied the attention
Of the people 40 years ago. But, Gentlemen,'
it is no new question. Whatever may have been
said to the contrary in the House of Commons,
the authority of that Honourable House arbitra-
rily to commit and imprison men at its own plea'.
sure has repeatedly been denied. In the early
part of the last century there was a most solemn
address by* the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in
Parliament assembled to Queen Anne, denying
the right of the House of Common*" to commit
and impriikki persons for conduct which was cog.
nizable in Courts of Justice—they declared in
`their address, that if there is any power that can
eontrOul or prevent anypenon'from receiving the
,bekeit of the law, the person so controuled and
'Placed out of the protection of the law, ceases to
be a freeman; 'Phis is a declaration of the Hensel
of Lorthsthefisselves, upon an occasion when the
Home of Commons, ,as in the present instance,
claimed and exelicised the right of imprisoning the
subject. Gentlemen, I will not take up much of
your time upon this point,. becaustrit has been so
well disctissed In variod* ways. I am persuaded

Mr. FA V ELL—Gentlemen of the Livery,
when I survey the present appearance of. this
JIM, I cannot doubt for one moment that you
feel a deep interest in the common danger which
has made it necessary to call a Meeting of the
Livery this day. I am persuaded 'that you arc
Neatly in earnest; bet if you are not most seriously
;In earnest in defending your rights, I can assure
you that your enemies are itt earnest in their en.
deavours to take them away from yoit. When I
hail last the honour of addressing you, I did say,
. that from the extraordinary events which had hap,.
• peoeti since the time I 'before mblressed you, and
subsequent experience has confitmed my opinion,
that t itlimit the public vigilante of good men,
this Hall might he used for transacting the busi.
ness of Police Magistrates; but its doors would
be for ever shut against .sfreoimen. and that we
s Should have little to do but to sing a solemn dirge
1 over the departed liberties of our country. After
all titat has been done in
.violation of • Magna
Charta and the Bill of Rights, it must, I think,
be adtaittesl by every one that without the exertion
of a vigilant and active spirit among the People,
those *acre(' acts will prove but mere paper bar.
tiers 2,7,tiiist • despotism. It is Udt a short time
agn -since the people were told that they had no.
thing to do with the laws but to obey them, and
but little to do with the taxes except to pay them;
but now, Gentlemen i the question is, not whether
we are to obey the laws, it. is whether wo are to
submit to a vigour beyond the laws. [Neper,
never, etc:aimed a number of the Lircr,y.] I
do conceive we stand on that ground, and that I
;nay in this respect when I ant recommending to
you %hat means you ought to pursuct use the
'cord 46 Moderation." True wisdom, Gentlemen,
con,ists in the adoption of those measures which
• the Constitution will justly warrant ; but when
I recommend moderation to you, I have not the
greatest CN tmples to mention foe your imitation
a:non4 your enemies. Certainly they were not
the mo-t moderato yr men who took upon
themselves to execute an illegal warrant by an
armed forec. Certainly it was no great example
of moderation, when, after you hail been e*tremely
rixions npo.n an important public quistion, and
..h:•rt an inquiry was about to take place into the
:Antes which had produced an unexampled waste
of the blood and treasure of the country, it was
Dot, I say, a proof of moderation that upon such
an occasion, and at moth a momentous period, the
doars of the Ilunso of Commons should have been
closed against you, in order that by such a step
you might be left as much in the dark as pwsibles
This is another recent • instance of the political
moderation of those by whom the country is at
present represented. But I think the county of
Cambridge has given a pretty good hint that it does
not agree with such inutlerAti
„on. [ilpplause.]—
ou find, however, that the Ministers of the
tlreient day have not been ashamed to advise his
Majesty to take thli moderator to whom I' amt

half •the people of the country they -mum
perSuado the other half that' they had acted right
in exercising so unjust a power. I need not tell
you that the measure which has been resorted to
by the House of Commons is an indirect attempt
to make an attack on the liberty of the press. 7--
The consequence of admitting filch a principle is
awful to be contemplated—l do not knelt how, if
it is admitted, we can justify expressing ouriadig-
nation at the conduct Of the House 9f Commune
even in this public nianner. .1 do not see how we
could do so withotit violating the assutned
cf that Honourable House, because it might
he a constructive act of breach of privilege. It
appears umo that if the power claimed by the
House of Commons was to be fully admitted, we
should have nothing to look to for seved years
but to our septennial release from such a system
of slavery ; and if rye were to admit every thing
which is contended for by the Itouse of Commons,
the argument would be ten times—ten thousand
times more conclusive, for the purpose of sliming
that there ought Id be a reform in the House of
Coinnions, and that there should be a real repro.
Itkattation of tho people: [continued plaudits.]
i. t come to the particular point which refers
ta the Imprisonment of Sic Francis Burdett,. I
shall Ility.but little respecting that illustrious Ba-
ton*. ouse the question respecting him may
Ile cotitidered to be depending in a Court of
Ladw. I will only now observe, with regard to
the power assumed by the Rouse of
Com-
tioasf that it reminds use of dialogue which
is to be found lit the writings of the Wreck
anther Lucian: In that dialogue the Quit
piter is repretented as being engaged in conversa-
tion with a countryman ; the contending parties
went on for some time reasoning very well tor.
then; at last. the countryman put an argnment that
Jupiter did nut like, acid could nut answer, and
that Jupiter showed, hint his, thunder.. Thus. it
has been with the [louse of Commons. 'llhe
lions., of Commons did not like the answer of the
illustrious Baronet, and therefore they. showed
hint their Warrant. [Bravo! lirduca!] As the
thunder -was the only answer the countryman re.
ceived (rota Jupiter, so was the Speaker's War-
rant the only answer the patriotic Baronet re,
ceieed front the Route Of Commons. Gentlemen,
it is too feeble any Otitis I can say to express my
admiration of the manly and spirited manner in
which that llonourable Personage has stood fur.

they could not expect to possess their confidence.
In the year 1741, the great Lord Chatham, then
a young man, told them the same truths. lie told
them, that if they did not reform their House, and
exclude Placemen and Pensioners; it would not
only cease ta,convey the tOice of the people, but
it would convey a voice which would be directly
opposite to that of the people. [So it willt

what Mr. Fox told the Electors-of Westminster
