Britijk Parliamentary Rtforvi
In the London Morning
Chonicle, of May ad, is publish
rd an account of a very large
dinner at the Crown Sc Anchor.
Tavern the day preceding, of
the friendr of Parliamentary
KefotmSh Trances Burdett was
in the chair. Mr. Wardle % the
member df Parliament who con
dutied thf enquiry into the con
dust of tie Duke of York, was
present ; and treated with the
molt marked Sc flattering atten
tion majf. Cartwright one of the
molt refpeftahle indefatigable Sc
intilligept of Lnglifh reformers,
after a short fpecch proposed
the following resolutions :
Rrfoiied, t. That it is “the
grand principle of the conttitu
tion that the people shall have a
lharc in the government, by a
just representation in Parlia
ment.”
s. That the long duration of
Parliament greatly facilitates the
corruption of the members, and
removes that wholesome check
or confroul on their conduct,
a frequent recurrence to the o
pinion of their coniiituenis.
3. That in a petition prefen.
ted to the boufe of commons,
on the fiih of May 1793* it was
offered to be proved at the bar
** that 154 individuals did, by
their own authority, appointor
procure the return of 307 mem
bers of the houfc (txciulive of
thofcfiom Scotland) “ who were
thus enabled to decide all quef.
tions in the name of the whole
people of G. Britain.
4 That this meeting believes
individual patronage in Bor
oughs has increased lincc the
year 1793— that the repielen
tation ot Scotland is exiteincly
influenced 6c unlice—-that there
are great defects m that of Ire
land—Sc that m the Knglifh bor
oughs called open the returns
are for the moll part obtained
for money; whcicfoie, upon
the whole, it is the opinion ol
this meeting that a great major
ity of the members of the com
mons houlir, arc lo returned
that the nation is not conlliiuii
onally rcprelented; while yet n
is taxed to support an expendi
ture of I'evcmy millions Itcrlmg
a year.
5. that iu the act (commonly cal
led the act ot settlement) winch
placed the house of Brunswick on
llie throne ot these realms, it »»■>
asserted and recognized as the
constitutional principle, that no
person who “ has an office or place
c>i profit under the king or receive*
a pension horn th** crown, shall
be capable ot scivirg a* a mem
ber ol the house ol common*.
ti. That ij appeals by a repot
laid on tne labiw ol ihc house of
commons in dune that "f>
members arc hr the regular receipt
under the ciuwu ot JL 1 7 a
year.
*7 That in 1752 it war declared
by Mr. Pitt in the house of com
mons, that seven or eight mtui
bers of that house were suit there j
by tne Nabob of Arcot, and that
a Foreign State in enmity to this
country, might procure a party tr
act tor it under the mask char
acter of members of that house.'’ 1
3. That such asL>te ol represen* j
tation is a national grievance.
9. T hat merely department of
the State into which enquiry haa
been r>ade t scanoalou* con options
and «buscu have be»n rh-ttctetl.
10. That the exclusion of the
public voicts from all influence in,
end the consequent conupdon 01,
the governments of the toniintnia*
|t 4Ui, have beeu die causes ol
suhjngHiiou.
11. 1 i.at long as «bc people
shad not lie fauiy, represented
corruption will increase ; oui debts
fit taxes will accumulate ; our re
sources will be dissipated ; the
native energy < l the people will
he depress! d; and the countiv
deprived ol its best Oelcucc a
gainst foreign toes.
12. That to remedy the great
and glaring evils of which we com
plain it is not necessary to have re
course to theoretical speculations,
or dangerous experiments in go
vernment, but to principles handed
down to us by t!«e wisdom and vir
tue of our forefathers.
13. That the remedy it to be
fou> d, and to hr found only, in a
full repitsentation of the people
in the commons House of Parlia
ment ; a remedy equally necessa
ry to the safety of the throne and
t!,e happiness aod the indepen
dence of the country.
14 That we therefore recommend
to every town, city, and county to
take the state of repicsentatiun in
to consideration, fit urgently, but
temperately, apply to Parliament
to adopt such measures a* shall
secure to the nation the reality and
uses us representation.
The resolutions were seconded
by Mr. Madocks, the member for
Boston, and carried. If these re
solutions have met 'he eye ts any
man in America, who from any
cause whatever hat been induced
to think favorably of the govern
ment of England, we pray him to
lurn back, to re.read and consider
their import { let him compare
that government of debt*, tsxes,
misrepresentation and corruption
which they exhibit, with the gov.
eminent under which he lives, and
he will find abundaut cause for
self congiatulation & national pride*
The proceedings at the Crown
and Auchoron the first of May,
are marked with a more determin
ed chaiai ter and Ijespeak a loftier
hope of success, than any thing of
the kind which has occurred in G.
Britain for many years. “ The
cause for which Hampden bled in
the field Sidney on the scaffold,” |
was drank with three times three* I

been passed at Paisley m Scotland,
and signed by 4,000 persons.
