In the London Mornintr Chronicle, of

friends-f Parliamentary Hcfotm. bir
Francis But dn t was in the chair. Mr.
ir&rdUf the member of Parliamcntwho
conducted the inquiry in'o the conduct
of the Duke of York, waj present; and
treated with the most marked and flat-
tering altemion. Mnj. Chrtiuright, one
oi the most respectable, mdcLLgjble &
inuUigent of English rtOrmers, after
a short speech proposed the following
icsolutions :
Retolve&i 1. That it is l the grand
principle of the constitution, that the
people shall have a share in the govern
ment, by a just representation iii Par
liament.0 2. That the long duration of Parlia
ment grcatlytacilitatcs the corruption of
the numbers, and removes that whole-s-.mc
check or controul on their conduct,

.heir constituents.
9. That in a petition presented to the
house of commons, on the 5th. of May
1793, it was offered to be ppvcd at the
bar thit 154 individuals did, by their
own authority,- appoint or procure the.
return of 307.memoi:rs of tire house (ex

were thus enabled to decide all questions

ed kince the year 1793 that the' repre
sentation of Scotland is extremely in
fluenced and unfrec that there are
great defects in that of Ireland and
that in the English boroughs called ope n,
the returns are for the most part ob
tained, for money ; wherefore, upon the
whole, it is the opinion of this meeting
that a great majority of the members of
the commons house, are so returned
that the nation is not constitutionally
rcDresented : while vet it i tarerf tr
support an expenauure ol seventy mil-

5. That in the act (commonly called
