j of that discussion , td which I may the more satisfactorily refer yoiif readers , as it h&s been printed separately , for extensive circular tion ; so that a dozen copies may be had , through the ordinary . channels , for a shilling . The perusal of that report will give a ( Complete view of the present state of the affairs of Poland *
Arrangements were made here for a meeting , Open for all disposed to attend , in order to determine on a petition to the King , and to take suitable measures for carrying it into effect ; when the temporary success of Lord Lyndhurst ' s never-to-be-forgotten motion called for all the thought and effort of the people of England to their own circumstances . The short and ( 1 trust )
decisive struggle being so far over , that we can think again , of our neighbours , to whose hopes the removal of Lord Grey ' s administration would have been a death-blow ; and Mr .

Perhaps this communication may be too late to aid in that object ; but if it should not , and a few active , intelligent men among your readers , in different places , will prepare such a one , and get it respectably signed , it will , I think , be really useful * At any rate , the plan of petitioning the King may be of essential service ; and , partly to facilitate the accomplishment of the object , and partly to state the views which , to those who have considered the matter here , appear such as may well serve for the basis of petitions , I herewith send you a draft of a petition , which will be speedily submitted to the friends of liberty in Bristol .

periods , the victim of ambitious aggression ; and which , having been Toused to resistance by injustice and oppression , has been—we hope for the present only—blotted out from the states of Europe , by a recent decree of the Emperor of Russia , in contravention of the Treaty of Vienna , to the observance and support of which the honour and good faith of the European powers stand pledged , and of none more solemnly than Great Britain . We are persuaded , Sire , that your Majesty , and the members of y our ^ Majesty ' s Government , must have viewed with astonishment , and with Extreme dissatisfaction , the course which has been pursued by the Empero * of Russia , if , as appears clear to your petitioners , he has thereby violated , not only that treaty which gives your Majesty , as Well as the other contracting powers , * right to interpose In behalf of
