INCIDENTS, MARRIAGES, and DEATHS, in and near LONDON ; 

 With BiogrupJdcal Memoirs of distin^vishcd Characters recently deceased. 



ON Ihe 11th «lt. a meeting took place 

 in the Palace yaivl, M'estininster, to 

 consider the best means of remedying the 

 bui dens which 0|)press the conntiy ; and, af- 

 ter several animated speeches of Messrs, 

 J-Iunfj Walker, Parker, (!v:c. the following 

 resolutions were unanimously agreed to: — 



That the present tinexamiiled and en- 

 fcreasing sufferings, in agiiciillure, inanu- 

 ■factures, and commerce, are not an eti'ect 

 of a sudden transition fi om war to peace ; 

 "but of an nndernuning progre.-sive transi- 

 tion from the constitutional liberty of En- 

 glishmen, to the abhorrent des)-otisni of an 

 usurping borough faction, with its taxa- 

 'tion, without representation, and its sep- 

 tennial power. 



That whether we direct our eyes lo the 

 faction's grand harvest — war, — to a profli- 

 gate expenditure in useless places, — to ex- 

 orliitant salaries for nominal services, — to 

 a devouring and insatiable Civil List, — to 

 a band of com t hirelings in the House of 

 Commons, holding enormous emoluments, 

 ••—to the organization of a corps denomi- 

 nated sinecurists, — or to an immense stand- 

 ing army in peace for destroying our liber- 

 ties ; we see in the who e body, and in every 

 feature, of this system, the strongest proofs 

 and clearest illustiations of the imperious 

 necessity of a radical Reform in the Na- 

 tional Representation; without which, in- 

 evitable ruin and slavery must be our 

 country's fate. 



That, adverting to fact, we find that, 

 for a period exceeding J ,'.'00 years, antcce- 

 Uent to the reigu of King WUlianij while 



our law was a stranger to Parliaments of* 

 continnencc exceeding one year, our coun- 

 try was equally a stranger lo the curse of 

 a national debl. 



That wc cannot without horror con- 

 template the melancholy contrast, that, in 

 little more than a twelfth part of a like pe- 

 riod of time, Parliaments of " too long 

 continuance" have incurred a debt utterly 

 nmedeemable; the very interest of which in- 

 flicts on ns the torture of a taxation ex- 

 ceeding forty-five millions a year, exclu- 

 sive of the extravagant expence of govern- 

 ment; and that both together exceed 

 seventy millions a year; a taxation under 

 which the nation groans with un'^peakable 

 misery. 



That to obtain relief from their present 

 distress, and to prevent for ever a return, 

 it is necessary the people, in iheir respec- 

 tive counties, cities, towns, and villages, 

 should cordially co-operate, in the mea- 

 sines adopted by the cities of London and 

 Westminster, for the salvation of their 

 couniry, in firmly and perseveringly claim- 

 ing, by petition, their right to a real repre- 

 sentation annually elected. 



That a petition be presented to the 

 Prince Rpgent, beseeching him to take into 

 his consideration the sufFerings of this in- 

 dustrious and patient people — and praying 

 that he will be pleased forthwith to cause 

 the Parliament to be assembled, and to re- 

 commend to them, in the most urgent man- 

 ner, to reduce the army, to abolish all si- 

 necures, pensions, grants, and emoluments
