To the Editor of the Monthly Magazine. 



SIR, 



rB'>HE truly important document 

 JL vvhich concludes the Supplement 

 of your last volume is at this moment 

 of immense importance to the people 

 of the United Kingdoms, in showing 

 tlicm who it is, out of the 658 inmates 

 of St. Stephen's Chapel, who are the 

 best entitled to their confidence ; and 

 ■who they are whom the people may 

 justly reproach with having, in the 

 two last sessions, woefully neglected, 

 or gone counter to, their duty. 



It is a very melancholy considera- 

 tion, that out of the fifty questions of 

 great public interest, which are parti- 

 cularized in pages 642 to 644, as hav- 

 ing been discussed and decided in the 

 sessions of 1821 and 1822, three only 

 of these questions* found majorities 

 on the popular side ; and these were 

 mere majorities, perfectly unlike the 



* These are marked h,f, and No. 30, in 

 the pages referred to. 



I, — The Names of Fortij-four British fVitrtlnes, who, in capacity nf Representatives of the 

 People, ill the Sessions of 1821 atiil 1822, gave atlcniUince at the decision of at least one- 

 half of Fifty Questions of vital importance, and voted thereon, as their duty to their Con- 

 stituents required : distinguished the Number of Votes by each. 



overwhelming numbers which tlie mi- 

 nister commanded on almost all the 

 other questions. 



1 want words for adequately ex- 

 pressing the obligations I feel to those 

 gcnllemen who have been at the pains 

 to collect, and to him who has arranged 

 and published, the names of the mem- 

 bers voting on tiie popular side on each 

 of these fifty occasions ; and, espe- 

 cially, for ascertaining and recording 

 the names of those who voted with 

 ministers on fourteen of these occa- 

 sions ; show ing, at the same tipie, the 

 connexion of all the foremost of these 

 with the loaves and fishes, which the 

 crown so prodigally dispenses. 



One thing only seems w anting in the 

 documents you have inserted; and that 

 is, a list of the patriotic members,
