He did call upon his honorable colleague to appriie him of it, but he him, audthe urgen-y of the nccafiotij I '< he mating. hoWevcr, a- K before ft-ated flHhe Uoufe, was regular: and, notwitli- the fffle>Ttioii driVn npon the chief roa<*iUrate, he would alfert that his conduct, had been bold and pro per, in co.nifig forward at 'fueh an alarming crisis like an independent man. That gentleman was as good, pure, ami peaceable a character as the honorable baro net ; and in regard to the suss which had been made about the proceflion, perhaps it would have been bettir it it had been omitted. About the time of that procef lion, Mr. Honey wood arrived in Kochefter. The peo ple, having by fowie means received intelligence of h.'s approach, afTembled on the road at the other end of Chatham, anil begged his pcriuifl&n to attend him, and draw nim w.tho'jt horses to h:; inn. This he de clined, being apprehensive »me mlfcanllruaion would be made, and palled through Chatham a« usual, attend ed by the people only, who behaved with the utmost decorum. Whsn he came to the entrance of Rochest er, hbwever, they took hi{ horses from the carriaw and drew him to the inn, where he addrelTed them from the step, and exhorted them to depart in goo'd or der, and in left than ten minutes they had entirely dif peried, leaving the streets of Rochefier as quiet as the bar of the h9lllc 0:' cpmm >ns then was. Some time af ter this he heard a huzza, and upon lookin-' out of the window, he law feme boys leading an as*, with no com mon figure upcS h, end there the matter, so far as he knew, ended. He had oceafion yesterday to be at Ro eheiler again, when he-Was informed that the figareon j the a.s had IX'en burned , but he heard of no other ir regularity, uor hats he eve r heard, till now, that any ot the people who signed the petition were concerned in the proceflion, an affection which he was much in clined to misbelieve Refpeding that proceflj-on, how ever, he had to state, that some hand-bills were after wards diflributed, one of which he had not about him bat he thanked his honorable colleague for lendiss; one' wherein the mayor, recorder, and twa other magijirates expreded their disapprobation of the proceflion. He thought it would have been much better if the honora hie baronet had attended when the bill was presented • but he was glad that he had now given him an oopo--' tunity to explain, ' r islvt Sim Sir Edward Kaatchhull did not mean to throw the ™<>J1 /Kgbteft refleflion 011 the mayor, but he thought mm leprehenfiv.le to let the procession pass by his houfe aiidas to rhe (ignatures of the handbill, one of the ma giitrates (Mr.Mancroft) was not in town at the time, he told him so, and had, therefore, merely signed it to j suit his own private purposes. Mr. Honey wood informed the house that the mayor | had no knowledge of the procession till it was over. Sir J. Moßii/i un t a.Tured the hoofe, that the pe tition from Birmingham, did not contain thefenfe of the majority of tfce inhabitants.there ; that it was pro cared by falhemu* means frem the lower orders of the people, who were induced to sign it by the ronnexis* ol a petition for peace with the petition agaisftthe bills, and that no public meeting had been-cailed for the oc casion. Mr. Sheridan reminded the house that he hid {fated the petition to be signed by 4000 of the inhabitants of B.rmmgham ; and consequently, no man who .knew the immense population of that town could imagine it was figsed by the majority. If he had brought the let ter which he received from a refpc&ahle gentleman of that town with the petition, he could have mentioned more precifcly the reasons why a greater number of signatures was not obtained. One cause was, the rapid 'fy with which the bills were prefi'ed j another was, that an attempt had been made by the opposite party j to promote a violence if the meeting was called ; and a third, and very obvious reason, was that which he had dated, that no advertisement had been pubiifhed, and no hr.ndbills permitted to be circulated about the town. Thus the people were deprived of a public meeting. And now he would fay a word or two upon the Rochetler tale, which if the c,fe have come w.m a betier g,a , from the eiry of Canterbury, a« it was of tnat lutein wnichiseo.'n-noulyiail c * Canterbury ta.e.

Notwith standing that the people of Scotland were retrained from « ftce declaration of their opinions, he had ao opportunity of knowing the lentimeitts nf manyof them, ever since bad the honor of bringing forward a motion relative to the Rwal fl-,. roughs, and he could politivtly affvtrt that there never was a time when the people there were more dlffjti.fitd than at p'ei fent It was indeed a sullen and silent diftnisfeflion,, froA which the right honorable gentleman opiate mightawue an probatios, but it wasfuch a mod«ofiealoi,ing»s a man milht uie who Huns another with a bl*w, and obfcrves, thalhecx prefTes no difTatisfaftion . ■ . General Macleoa informed the House, that if many petitions had not come from Scotland, this was no ar gument of the approbation of the bills: when we con fidcr the nature and severity of their laws, we need not wonder if the people of Scotland are timid in avert ing their rights. He was happy that this petitien, of which before he had no knowledge, and which fun. ported another from Paiflevj had been prtfented. He then commented on the diftinflion which was made of late between the higher and low:r orders of the peo ple, and observed that fudi diftimftion was'molt dan gerous to social life, to our beloved monarch, and to the constitution. What is it that the rich hold their efiates by, but by the fufferance of the lower order of the people; and are not their rents enforced in some degree by law, and their rank in life entirely behclden it that fufferance ? He cautioned thehoufeto take care how such opinions got abroad ; for if once the lower orders of the people are made fer.fible of these invidi ous diftinflions, as they art the most powerful of two clafTeii, some fatal may enfne. Mr. Wilmot ftaud,- that no diftinclion had been made by any member, but that it came in a letter from Birmingham, which an honorable baronet (Sir J. Mor daynt) He then adverted to the Coventry petition, presented the preceding evening by Mr. Fox, the prayer of which he had refufed to Support, and said it was not the sense of the majority of the inhabitants yf that city. The Speaker submitted to the hovte, whether mem bers ought not to attend in their places tomalce their ob fervationsat the time the petitions were yrefented, and not to revert, in thecoui-te of other bufineft, te form cr petitions, the great inconvenience of which was so apparent as not to require his notice. Mr. Fox said, that the Coventry petition was signed by 33 00 persons ; and he did not go further when he pretested it, than to Hate it to be the petition of those who signed it. If any one perfau kad a less right, too, to irnke any objections to that petition than another, he thought it was the honorahlegentleman, becaufethe petitioners could not find the noble lord his colleague (lord Sheffield) ; and they therefore waited on him, re questing his concurrence, which herefufed to give, and of course, they had then a tight to apply t? any mem ber they pleated,' and they applied to him (Mr.Fcx) as a person agreeing with their sentiments. The hou. gentleman, therefore, could not complain that lie had not complete notice of it; and, Mr. Fox said, lie pre. tented it purposely on tl»e night when the call of the house took place, to give the faireft opportunity for any objection, though another time would t» have b*er. more agreeable. / y [_VeivMi
