Is it possible that this deprecation of a spirit of revenge was written by the sanie being, who, according to his own confession, falsely accused a fellow-creature (Mr. Swan 'wick. of Philadclphia,) of a crime at which humanity and nature revolt. Who that has a character to lose, or a reputation that k worth preserving, will send their opinions to be mangled, garbled, and dished up for the public, by William Cobbeti, the sui disant Pa:Nct PAL Literary Advocate of Parliament ary Reform. Head this my Lord Folks:one, aied if the clrymels of modesty are not already awaked up, let the ready blood mantle iu your cheeks, BLUSH, my Lord, and feel, as you are, DEGRADED. " You say a remark or two seems necessary here, in an swer to the insinuation, and indeed the open accusation o,;ainst all those who stand prominently forward in the cause of reform. It is t!iis th a t th e y wish for,. confu sion, for the annihilation cf property, and for uproar and bloodshed." Pe - mit me to transcribe a few of your own observations, rhich certainly appear to justify the • insinuations, nay, more, the open accusations to which you allude. At the period of writing this paragraph, or those I shall quote, you must have written piemeditated and• deliberate false hoods. Make the election yourself; these are the facts, the conclusion is inevitable. " Once more returned,' once more Linder the safeguard of that Sovereign, who watched over me in my infancy, and the want of whose protecting arm I have so long had occas'ou to lament, I feel an' irresistible desire to commu bicate to my countrymen the fruit of my experience; to ezew them the ityur!ocs and dig . radinT consequences of dis -1111 4 content, di,loually, and innovation, to convince them, that thry are the freest, as well as happiest, of the human race; :end above all, to warn them against the arts of THOSE AM MITIOUS AND PERFIDIOUS DEHAGOGUES, who would willingly reduce them to a level with the cheated slaves, in the bearing of whose yoke I have had the mortification to share." .4 Their stalking horse is REFOrtm but their real object is the OVERTHROW OF TAE moNAncv v : a scramble for power and riches : and this intention, should they succeed, they will boast of, with as unblushing a front as Lauderdale's friend Brissot and his ply-4., after they had - made the ,exciting of the insurrection of the ,10th Qf August, one of the crimes for which they put their Sovereign to death, boasted of Having elicited the instureetion themselves ! This is one of the blackest deeds in the annals of Republican France ; but let the people of Great Britain be assured, that, in stead of abhorrence, it has served to awaken emulation in the minds of the degraded and desperate faction, who have still the hypocric.y to bellow ,frr REFORM. " The people have been told that they are not represented in the House of Commons, that, that assembly is no longer what it used to be, and that until it be reformed, it is in vain for them to hope for any good from that quarter. The words reply sentation and elective franchise have done much towards confu4ing the brain and corrupting the heart of his Majesty's subjects : and though we have not the vanity to suppose, that we possess the power of dissipating the fatal delusion, it is our duty to contribute our mite in the Mtenipt.
