CAMBRIDGESHIRE AND HUNTS. 
A numerous and respectable meeting of 
the nobility, freeholders, &c. of the county 
of Cambridge, was lately held at Cams 
bridge, to petition Parliament for reform 
and relief of the agricultural distress, 
J. D. Merest, esq. moved the resolutions 
and petition to the Commons: it declared 
it to be the deliberate conviction of the 
meeting, that the main cause of the pre- 
sent calamitous state of things is exor- 
bitant taxation; that the recorded votes of 
the Commons prove no unity of feeling or 
sentiment subsists between the people 
and their representatives ; and that there- 
fore the petitioners hope. the House will, 
before it be too late, institute a thorough 
and effectual reform in the representation 
of the people—The petition was sup- 
ported by the Duke of Bedford and 
others, and adopted. 
A county meeting, for a similar purpose, 
was held also at Huntingdon, when a pe- 
tition was carried unanimously.

SUFFOLK. 
This and the preceding county have 
lately been scenes of extensive tumults 
among the farming Jabourers, and nu- 
merous farm-yards have been wilfully set 
on fire in many parts of them. 
On the 24th ult. the friends of parlia- 
mentary reform, resident in this county, 
lately assembled together at Bungay. Se- 
veral eloquent and argumentative speeches, 
adducing cause for the effect of over- 
whelming parliamentary majorities, were 
delivered. Taxation was viewed as the 
principal onus upon the people. 
A numerous body of landowners and 
agriculturists of the county lately agreed 
to petition the House of Commons for re- 
lief. They expressed their opinion, that 
the cheaper all articles were, the better for 
the community ; to this end they prayed 
for a diminution of taxation, which in 
their opinion was absolutely necessary, in 
order to afford to agriculture effectual 
relief,
