An indiscriminate and sweeping prosecution will vindictively be carried on, wit h as much severity as can be borne, against all who have had the virtue to expose the abuses of the Constitution, or the corrupt, or arbitary practices of Ministers. Omission has long been keen ly watched to excerciar the spirit now declared; and if that rsercise should fail of producing the desired effect, to introduce, as a consequence of a pretended and lamented neces.ity, a censorship of the Press. For this, bad thP issue of obnoxious publication beat nursed in a certain favourite quarter, that an opportunity might be afforded to denounce them afterwaris in Proclamations and Loyal Addresses, and to brood a Inligions and submis sive people, (for such this nation very eminently proves itself to 114.0 with the groundless calnmnies of blasphemy and sedition. To the friendoandasserters of the whole some freedom of the Press, tbeeiterciseof law, the good old Constitutional Law ofEngland, can present no terrors. \o virtuous writer need to fear the verdict of a virtuous and enlizlitened Jury of his fellow countrymen, in the present age, and under the uegent circumstances of this critical season; and whatever be the immediate or ulerior views of those who abuse or hats the great pal ladium of our Rights and Liberties, we still trust the spirit of the public will in the end resist their menacing attacks, and defend and vindicate their meditated victims. Owing to a report of the Austrians having crossed Cis Po, a great erect was produced on the Stock Mar ket, this morning. At the beginning of business Stocks opened at 7 if, and a rumour became general that an e Igacement had absolutely taken place. The anxiety to sell became great ; immense sales were made below the Market price. The French Papers, however, arrived al out eleven o'clock, which make no mention of the above circumstance. Consols immediately recovered to 7:P.j, and the Market appears more brisk. It is stated to have been decided, that as soon as hos tilities comiuienced at Naples, the KING of the Two Sici lies would quit Laybaeb and take up his residence in 1 lentil. 'I he treaty fur regulating the passage of the Austrian troops through the Roman territories, has been signed by the Baron de Lesattreart on the part of Maria, and Cardinal tionsalvi, on the part of Rowe.

To s.ay, obseries The Cotastibeliwe we are sisrprixell at the result of the moti the quis of TA mock would be false ; and ray that we regret it would searrely be true ; for we consider ever• fresh instance of such di rect opposition to the general voice, as an all-powerful argument against the present sys ten► of It:•presentation.—Talk of wild theories Parliaments, Universal Suf f rage, and Vote by Ballot! Where, in Bon's name : in the brain of what madman can be found a system so absurd as the present? As we do not chuse to commit ourselves to the fangs of legal vengeance, by expressing oar own opinion on that House, we shall adopt the Parliamentary language ofthe great Lord eIf.VIHAM. "if this House,'" said he, " will not " reform itself within these walls, it will ultimately " be refocused Gem without." Mach has lately been s aid about farces; and a Minister n•as lately heard to use the word " Farce" when speaking of County Meetings : but no Farce could equal that which was performed at St. Stephen's Chapel on the night of Tuesday and the morning of Wednesday. It indeed resembled the general run of modern Farces, for it ex - cited nothing bat dross-sine* and insurmountable dis gust. At fire o'clock on Wednesday morning, was Mr. BROCUUAM wasting himself in addressing the Members, many of whom were nodding, some of whom were snoring, and several of whom were stretched at fall length in the Ualteries. Inked the somnific bap. piness inspired by the Ministerial wand is truly sur prising. The vicinity of the Kiss's Bench prison yesterday afternoon, was as crowded as a country fair. Never was there greater struggling to get into a place of toiAnement t and on the parade, the usual Sunday promenading was prevented by the throng of stran gers that uh(tructed it, co maser. The great object of attraction, Sir Francis Bladed, did not, however, ap pear in public the latter part of the day. The worthy Itarutlet had, in the morning, while the gates were closed, taken exercise ha the place where he has the prkilege of walking in the Court-yard, in front of the principal entrance. in the afternoon he enjbyed the company, as he bad on the previous day of his confine ment, of a- select party of political and personal friends. Letters were on Saturday received dated Beaus Ayres, hoyeuther 23. There bad been no late intelli !react received from Chili. Thepresencs ails.

A vessel had arrived boa Fawn. off Maldonado, with twelva,montlia' revialoss for the klicaron, whose ultimate destination still remained a profound secret. . I AT THE CROWN AND •ANCHOR TAVERN. - • ••-•41v.-- A Meeting of the eoustituents of Sit Francis Burdett took place this day, fee the purpose of considering what conduct it was necessary for them to parent relative to the sentence passed upon the worthy Bart: About ! o'clock, Mr. Hobhouse entered the room, add having taken the Chair, proceeded to open the buslheu of the meet ing. He began by contrasting the 'libation of the accused and that of his prosecutors. He asked if the former had committed any crime?—(No s no.)—lf he had done any thing of which any man. any P.aglisituaan, ought to be ashamed ?—(No, no.) —A ftert alluding in the strongest language to the Manchester proceedings, he declared that the blood of those innocent victims who lost their lives at that place, was still unavenged, and unappeased I and not only rested on those who were the immediate causes of their death, but upon the whole country. The only manner in which the de mands for justice had been answered, was the filling of all - the gaols from one end of the country to the other with victims. Their illustrious represen tative had been one. He contended that some of the most important rights of Englishmen had been infringed by the manner in which the prosecution had been 'conducted. The Jury by whom he was tried, were pried ' pally composed of members of the Pitt Club. He cennuent ted at some length 'von the injustice of the tleckfeas of many juries. Ile also contended that ex-officio iuft a isatisons were unconstitutional • inasmuch, as that whatti.er dis pleased an Attorney-eneral might he considered as li bellous, and the author punished. Sir Francis Burdett nut only slid not repent having written the letter, but had declared, that he would be ready to write again sad again, ,ten thousand times over.—(immense applause.)—lk thought it was absolutely necessary that something should be done in the way of ohfining what was, and what was not a libel. All Judges had not only been inconsistent with each other, but with them selves, in what they had laid down upon the sub ject. Chief Justice Scraggs hail said, that it was not only a libel to abase the tiovernment, but also, to praise it without permission.—(Mtich laughter.)— He thought they need not he afraid of any libels , of that nature.—(Continued laughter.)—lt was a wise saying of a very wise man, he meant Dean Swift, that nu man should have to answer in any Court of Justice for that for which be would not have to answer in heaven. He thought this a time when they were called npon to petition the Commons, and to take positive and legal measures, to ascertain by what tenure they held that chief bulwark of their liberties, the Free Press. (Immense applause). lie expressed his satisfaction that his Majesty had taken the determination of coming among Isis people. He hoped that he would always be received with that respect which had marked the con duct of his people on a tate occasion ; and that he would on all occasions be addressed in language befitting hiss to hear, and a free to atter.—(Applause). Ile thought this a time seL 'l eT i tey ought to gto up to him upon the subject of the prosecution of their worthy representative. When the names of his pro- secutors would be forgotten or only remembered as a warning to all bad Ministers, that of the houuurable in dividual upon whose account they were then assembled, woaki grace the proudest pages of the British history. Mr. titeson to a nest speech proposed that a sub scription should be raised for the purpose of paying the , fine which had been imposed wpm) Sir F. Burdett. — (Cries of " and all expences.") S 1 resolutions having been agreed to, the follow ing Address founded upon them, was put and carried unanimously:— Sta—Toe eve no* 1 soma Kew Ant Laing imprison ment MT 'mar devotion' to the public cause.

With all our submission to justice, when duly ad ministered, it is not the shadow, but the substance, it is not the pretence, but the practice of it, that we have been accustomed to admire; and we have not only learnt from the experience of others, but, unfortunately, have ourselves felt, that there is no injustice so horrible that which is commited under the name of law. Neither the verdict which condemned you, nor the Sentence which confirmed that condemnation, has Ihuaged the sentiments of respect and esteem nith which we have long regarded your effort* in our behalf. Tou have now been before your countrymen for nearly a quarter of a century—during the whole of that period you bare steadily opposed those ministers who have incurred the hatred and contempt, in the same proportion as you have obtained the love and admiration, of the pedpie England. It would, perhaps, be impossible to ponrtray in ion striking colours the true nature of the system seder which we groan, than may be done by pointing out.tbo. contrast between your conduct and present condition, and the conduct and present condition of your prose T . tutors. The petitioning people were assaulted by an armed force—were dispersed. maimed, slaughtered ! ! Yes de nounced the outrage—the Ministers of the Crown pre their sanction to the deed ; you called for legal redress-- they checked all inquiry ; you relieved the sufferers— they rewarded the criminals; you complained of vio lated rights—they imposed fresh restrictions on public liberty! Posterity will scarcely credit the sequel.

Saturday Nights' Casette contains the announcement of Lieutenant-General Sir Henry Warde, K.C.8., to be Captain-Uenetal and Governor in Chief in and over the Island of Barbadoes; and of Major-General Sir Thomas Brisbane, K.C.B. to be Governor of New South Wales and its dependencies.—This liazettee also notifies the appointment of Lord Beresford as Governor of Jersey, and his having been sworn a Member of the Privy Council on the 6th inst.

OXISSION.—In our report of the debate on the Bir mingham petition, on Thursday, evening, we omitted by accident to mention an expression used by Mr. Littleton in his explanation. He stated that he had not proposed a property tax, but had suggested the justice that some equal share of the public burdens should be laid on that monster of consumption—the 'kindholder.

It is said that the intended reductions in the army will be to the Stlth regiment. There are now 93 regi ts of foot, besides the Rifle brigade, and 9 veteran . lions. It is also said that two companies from edict remaining regiment will he reduced. In answer to an application made from Leeds to sir. Pellatt, one of the seesetaries of the Protestant Society in London, that gentleman has written to say, that until Mr. Brougham's Education Hill is bronght into the Ilonse this session it would be premature and unavailing to do any thing respecting it ; but that the Society, by its committee and secretaries, are closely watching this bossiness, and so soon as the time shall arrive fur the exercise of laudable exertions in opposing a measure so fraught with mischief to the community, ' due notice will be given. , We are informed that, in the course of the present year, the number of ships which has been determined shall be kept in an effective state for commission, will be completed, and that a general discharge of work men from all the dock-yards will ensue. The de creased number at this yard, it is supposed, will ex ceed 1,500. The naval force to be kept up is 80 sail of the line, with a suitable proportion of frigates and sloops.—(Porismooth Paper.) SyAstrostri JURTICE.—Thontas Rhodes, spoken of in our last as being charged with the heinous offence of carrying an effigy of Majocci about the streets, is yet in Stamford gaol, awaiting Isis removal therefrom either by a writ of habeas corpus or in a hearse! The 'sessions have passed over, and without railing upon him even to plead to his indictment ; the trial was removed by cer-; tiorari into the King's Bends.

In our paper of the 15t4 mber last, a cue, which excited a considerable degree of interest was, say* th e Edinburgh Star, reported. It was an :salon of da mages at the instance of John Campbell, Esq. of Blair hall, late mentlwr of Parliament for the Stirling t of burghs, against Thomas Murray Allan, Esq. of SeotstoWn Park, for slandering and defaming his.tha racier by calling him a liar—an infamous impostor— and a blackguard. Damages laid at 10,000/. The Jury found the issues proved, and awarded one shilling of damares. Mr. Campbell afterwards moved the Court to award the costs of suit to him. This motion was followed by a counter one, on the part of Mr. Allan also claiming costa. Both motion% were ably argued on Tuesday and yet terday. and the Court decided, that each party ought to brar ►is own costs, and dismissed the mutio.it on Wilt sides. ECONOME IN TUE ORDNANCE. DREARTMENT.--in:the reports of the debateson Friday last, Mr. Hume, in order to prove the present extravagant rate of pa and allowances to the offivers in the ordnance genera lly, is reported to have stated one example of tbe Store-keeper at Dover, who now receives to the amount of MMI. a rear, pay and allowances, although that other, prior to the late war, had only a salary of 1201. a ear. Mr. Ward, the iclerk of the Ordnance, contradicted. Mr. Mole, and declared that the allowances to the store keeper at Dover were not 6001. a year and that no store. keeper bad retired on a pension. Byilae exchasion of strangers from the gallery, we were amble to state Mr. liume's reply:to Sir.f.Warti's assertion, which was by the production of the Ordnance estimates, dated the 19th flay, ISt% and signed by Mr. Ward himself, under whose signature it appeared that the allowance of Ro bert Ilasstiapien, storekeeper at Parer, were reported to the Howse at 5001. a year, end that he had aetsally attires{ on a pension of 3331. as stated by Mr. Hume. Su Marti for Mr. Ward's correctness. It le too much the ce s lice, in the House of l'osomons, for official men. by assertipose. to contrediet statements in the manner letealliela Mr. Ward ',tad towards Mr. House,- lad it is at important* on all emeasions to niche a piosopkexpo• NMI ar seek tramming emereimm. It appears extraor that lir. Ward who had himself signed the re dsi aid before the House of Commons, respecting the &Enter of Meer, should' venture to coiltradldt, ill thr manner in which be did, such public documents. Prom every information we have obtaibed, we believe that the estahßshments in the whole Ordnance doper'. went continue at an excessive and rxtraragant rate, tad that it would be productive of great economy w have the whole df that Jepar . tineht carefully examined. By the description we 'gave of the man who was drowned in the Avon at the New Bridge id Warwick, *a the preceding Sunday night, his unfortunate end has been communicated to his friends, and there cannot be soy doubt of his identity. It appears, by a letter Lately received by the Overiters of St. 'Nicholas, that the name of the deceased was James Seourlield ; he was a saddler by trade, but had lately been employed .in tile India lionise. Having served hiw time at St. Albans s, he left London to rote at the late election at that place. When be got there, however, -he did not ppll, and as soon as the election woes over he suddenly leriSt.Albareg, without any of his relations knewing whit had became him, till they heard of his death iu the'Newspapets. The deceased was an unmarried man, end had - lately been in a low desponding state of mind. • ROYAL SIMI aTv.—A t the sitting of the itorti. • co• ciety, on Thursday evening, Captain Hotter read Al interesting paper on the subject of a volcano which lie his discovered in the noon.—On examining the dark part of the moon through a telescope, lie per ceived a bright spot resembling a star; 'and Raise ;pent observations convinced him it was a volcano. As that part of the moon - in which it is situated has now become illuminated, the volcano is no longer vi sible, and before the period fur observing it returns, it will probably have ceased to be in a state of eruption. Coos-Exciiascr.—The arrivals of all grain last week were very large, and a considerable q uantity of Wheat, Barley, and Oat, remained over from this morning's market, when we had a great additional supply of Wheat from Essex, bent, and Suffolk, which met' ee. trewely dull sale even for the finest samples, at a decline o sa f le 2 a s hre, r a g lt u ho lifi n e g r b ; o a ff n eled ati oa oi natcl r s il l e o sc w r er il treas n% th w e re an li o n n this day week.
