    ROYAL CORNWALL GAZETTE, 2 August 1817
    TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS The Prince of Wales, REGENT Of the United Kingdoms of Great Britain & Ireland. We, the undersigned NOBLEMEN, GENTLEMEN. CLERGY, FREEHOLDERS, and other INHABITANTS of the COUNTY of CORNWALL, feel it to be our Duty to repeat to your ROYAL HIGHNESS the assurances of our loyal and unalterable Attachment; and to express our Indignation at, and Abhorrence of, the late treasonable Attack upon the Sacred Person of your Royal Highness. As faithful Subjects, strongly attached to our PRINCE ; as Englishmen, proud in the possession of a glorious CONSTITUTION: we are as eager to shield the one from Insult and Violence, as we are to protect the other from Innovation or Subversion. At the present momentous Crisis of Public Affairs, we feel ourselves imperiously railed upon by what we owe to our Country, and our Prince, to enter a solemn Protest against the whole Tenor and Substance of an address purporting to be an Address of the “Gentry, Clergy, Freeholders, and other Inhabitants of the County of Cornwall," which appears by the Public Prints to have been resolved upon at a Meeting held at Bodmin, on the eleventh day of March last, by the Individuals then and there assembled. We are anxious to repel from ourselves the charge of Discontent and Insubordination, to which the spirit of its language must necessarily expose us; and to condemn as groundless and absurd, and to disavow with warmth, that wild and feverish sentiment which declares the temporary and short Suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, to be "a part of a Systematic Conspiracy to overthrow the existing Laws and Constitution, and to establish in their stead, and on their ruins, a despotic and military Government." We have witnessed with sorrow, and contemplated with alarm, a spirit of Disaffection and Treason, pervading many parts of the British Empire, owing its birth to the temporary difficulties and distresses which have oppressed the Agriculture, Manufactures, and Commerce of the Kingdom, and its growth and dissemination, to the artful efforts of designing Traitors, deluded Patriots, and mistaken Reformers. We regard the unanimous Testimony of the Committees of the Lords and Commons as to the existence of these traitorous Conspiracies, as affording to us more than an adequate Proof of their reality, which has been but too well con- firmed by the rash attempts of the Conspirators themselves. Relying, as we do, on the Wisdom and Integrity of the Parliament of this happily united Kingdom, we can neither question the policy, or doubt the necessity, of those measures, which in full and solemn Council, it has thought expedient to adopt ; and which, by a temporary suspension of a part, is intended to ensure the permanent Security of the whole of that fundamental System of Laws, which has so long blessed this happy Land with prosperity, its Government with stability, and its Individuals with a full measure of rational liberty.
