4 . 101 100- 11130 LoraterfaiD - ENGLISH SEDITION. . . , 7-•" 0 "`" For many centuries 'lreland presented almost an un interrupted scene of ,rapine, tyranny. and bloodshed ; its governors have been repeatedly urged to adopt a conc iliatory system in vain; its old task masters, who fattened *pop its miseries aqsl, mirfoftunes, end who held their power MI patronage in proportion to the mischiefs they Indicted on the unfortunate natives, who Vv.i e thooght so much about as the cattle tit covered their fertile 'postures, and were slaugh-• tered with less minden. Art itins. : ommencement of Pitt's crusade plait the Ithetties of the French peo ple, the reiga of terror began to- sbew itself in dread. ful forms ; the system of religious persecutions was Fostered, and the most dreadful cruelties practised on' the peaseastry, in the Counties Louth, Meath, Cavan and Fermanagh, almnditti of r,allians called peep-of day. boys, with ardwin their bands, a lawless gang (like other lawless emirs nearer home,) beat, abused, ill-used and murdamithose who in any way appeared obnoxious • to theft !infernal oaths of extermination. The - cabins of the peaiistry whom they wished. to baysialy Were chalk , ed, as those of the prisons iej.the reign of Maras and Robespierre. The notice in chalk was, " To Hell or toConasght.' If the unfortunate inmates were not off before sunrise, the cabin was set on fire, and the inmates shut in making their escape. The murders became so frequent, that the citizens of Dublin and Belfast bad repeateyl meetings, in order to strike out soma feasible plia:.ta pub a stop to such infernal pro ceedings. They agreed to form a society to be called " The United Irishmen," among whom (it was report ed) Lard C was enrolled. This Society formed a compact, 'pledging themselves to each other that they would endeavour to promote a brotherhood" of affection among Irishmen of, every Religious per suasion, and also to room*, as far as in them lay, an honest represeotatlim of the people in Parliament; to the want of which they attributed all their political misfortunes. In fact. the system of union was exactly the same that his Majesty George has lately attempted to establish in Ireland, and which it is to be hoped he will succeed in. But those in power saw that a union of the people would send them back to their original nothingness, they set up the hue and cry ; prosecution was the • order of the day. and persecution the practice of the night. Domiciliary visits, mock plots, and penal laws became a substitute for peace and brotherly love. In the midst of the northern persecutions the pecp•of dap-boys paraded the streets in the open day, and spared neither age nor sex. The Government itself appeared to be alarmed, and sent down General to supply.' the peace in the disturbed districts; on his re:urn his report was, all was in peace and quiet. Still the cruelties were practised, and the oppressed peasantry drive, to an association to repel these murderous maraud. (lc This society were called Defenders, upon which fre quent battles and skirmishes took place between them .and the peepolday•boys, the latter not only being well armed but protected by the task-masters ; laws were directly made against Defenders. and they were banced like dogs, yea even by inch of candle. This • enabled Pitt to bring forward his darling measure of a legislative maws, whist: was to have pacified and done every thing for Ireland ; instead of which, the Corporat 3 .on of Dublin, at all times notorious f o r ig•norance and intolerance, continued since, to keep alive the system of religions persecution and bigotted opposition, until it had Royal orders to the contrary, it then became all of a sudden as philanthro pic, as if it swallowed a mass book wrapped up in Dr. TN wig. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Abraham Bradley King, of gallant recollections, his Majesty's stationer in Ireland; and his dear friend the Police Magistrate, like one of the old clan, saw that peace and toucord, which was recommended by Lord Castle reagh 25 years before, would knock up their hopes, their exclusive power, their patronage, and their pro fits. Is.'s rage boiled over, and lie and a few of the black insulted the King, and screwed what they would do, if they dare; their places made them loyal, and their attachment to his Majesty's person, a phantasmagoria. Their motto is "no longer pipe no longer dance." Power is their God, and profit their Religion. Yet his Majesty did not kick D: out, it it said, because he'd do nothing to damp the joy of any Irishman during Isis visit. Happy Ireland, that has at once attracted the favours and the smiles of royalty '. Unhappy England ; scarcely bad the King, God bless him, entered the suburbs of his capital, when its Chief Magistrate of Police resigned ; after what?' after watching over the peace and happiness, the lives and liberty of his Majesty'ssubjects ; after preserving the heads of the unoffending multitude, who with de votion and heart-rending sorrow, were paying the last dutiful respect to the reality:sof the greatest and most persecuted woman thatever trod on British ground. This Poling Dlagistratepwbose heart was cast in real British me hl, has thee been seat adrift. Ile would not be acces sary to any violence, nor to any wilful ilia wanton breach of the Peace at the funeral of the wife of the King; so much for English sedition, another subject we - must set off against theism:onm coaferred on Sir Abra ham, whose prowess in the field or the Cabinet is yet to be learned. The dismissal of Sir Robert Wilson, a Major-General in the army. who never had a favour from the Crown, except that of placing him on the Staff, after purchasing every commission up to his Colonelcy. That promotion took place at the instance of the late King, for the science and gallantry displayed by Sir Robert, in almost every part of Europe and . Egypt ; • so that, after paying at least 5 1 000 for his commissions w .after serving., with !ioniser and universal approbation, in every engagement hilter, took a share in ; after 'hewing himself a hero in the field, and a Solon in the foram, his 5,006 guineas are obliterated by the scratch of a pen, andhis Majesty advised to send that officer adrift who saved the wreck of an army at Talavera ; and, for what, gentle readers, surely not for attending the funeral of the Queen of England?" This, is not the grand crime; the never-to-be-forgotten offence, the English sedition: We see an awful contrast between the system of loyalty in both countries,; it must promote a satimiallealousy which a wise Minister shottAll amkovour so avoisli for the principles of Yaited Millirated with such Ilelightfal copsequences ia :by the King, mast be. really acceptable to the people of Enghtitd.; While the *Milt ppliemmaa treated taco Pig with dia. , respect, tge worthy Sir Robert Baker treated his Ma- _ ~-'T'• jegit- with Age watching over tir was defrauded _ Robert Wilson paid thing limey; pro.._ ed to; and John Bull treated as an alien fa** conititn ,ti gaol blessings he was born to enjoy. His Loyalty end love .of peace, impeached by a gang of despicable in quisitors ; his dwelling beset with spies and informers, and Ms money applied in part, so the payment of hire ting scribes, for the sole purpose of abusing and dig 4racting him. _ This cannot last long, give the ruffians rope enough and they'll soon make a finish of what they have so basely and so wantonly began. MEER'S STATUES. : ,The. two figures of Raving and Melancholy Madness sculptured by the celebrated Mr. Cibber, father of Col ley Libber, the Poet, in the reign of Kieg Charles IL, and for which the French King Louis the Twelfth offered 12,000 louis d'ors, have been removed from New man-street. Oxford-street, to the Lunatic Asylum, in • St. George's-fields. They bad been accustomed, as many of our readers will remember, to adorn the entrance into Bethlehem Hospital, Moorfields and though of stone were called by Pope, when addressing_ his antagst Colley, " his brazen, brainless brothers." The figure of Melancholy Madness, besides possessing the merit of most pathetically expressing the affecting character of that deplorable species of insanity, is retuarknble for being the likeness of Uliver Cromwell's porter, who was confined in that asylum, and from whom Cibber copied the portrait. These figures having been injured by long exposure to the action of the atmosphere, have uudergone a com plete repair, by Mr. Bacon, and are now, after an unac countable delay, placed in the Great Hall of the New Bethlehem Hospital. Appropriate adornments, it is stated, are placed around them. So far they may have been treated with the respect they deserve; but when to these ornaments we find it added, that they are enclosed within screens, which are only to be withdrawn upon the days set apart for the meeting of the Governors, or on some particular occasions, we think the gentlemen who have ordered matters so, are rather more nice than wise. Valuable as the Elgin marbles arc, they are con spicuously exposed to view ; and we cannot conceive that the figures aborementioned, when placed in a well warmed Hall, require any more than the Grecian scalp ' tures in the British Museum, to be enveloped in elegant curtains, as these figures are said to be, •to defend them from the weather or from accident. There appears to be no reason for these figures being secluded from the public eye, like the wretched objects they represent; nor any right that we conceive why they should be considered private property; and if they be bona fide the property of the Governors of Bethlehem Hospital, the Funds of that charitable institution, migh t one would think, be mach more usefully applied in pro rooting the caniforts of its animated inmates, than in pro ' riding elegant curtains for statues of stone. Ponrsstovrit, SEPT. 19—Our Regatta, consisting of two days ainuseineuts, concluded yesterday at sun set. Though the breeze its fresh, and the water was covered with boats, no aceident took place to throw a damp on the sports. An annual gala of this descrip tion must prove highly beneficial to the inhabitants, while it must Jhave a direct tendency to preserve that maritime spirit in a profound peace, which is of such essential advantage to us at a period of war. Hence it reflect* no less credit on its patrons than on its pro- jectors. in a tuitional sense. Yesterday the Andromache was paid off la thaAisr boor, and is to be immediately re-commissioned for foreign service. Captain Shirreff, on taking leave of his gallant crew, exhorted them not to dissipate their bard-earned wages. Sailors are said to make their money like horses, and to spend it like asses. But the old adage does not seem to have been verifie4in this case, for never were less symptoms of irregularity it night, which perhaps is to be ascribed to the kind advice the men had received in the morning, and which they acknowledged with 3 hearty and grateful cheers. Ti.e Salisbury was to have been paid off all stand ing, this morning ; but the accounts not being fully made up, her discharge is postponed till next Monday, when the brave fellows who belong to her will take an example of prudence, it is to be hoped, from the orderly crew of the Andromache. The Salisbury, it is now stated, will be re-commissioned, and go forth with to a new station. Doves, SEPT. 19.—1 n consequence of the wind blow ing directly into the harbour of the opposite shores, at tended with a great swell, there have been no arrivals, not even the steam vessels, which was to tail against wind and tide) from France fbr the last tWo (lays ; but persons who came from Calais on Monday state, that directions have been given to the Authorities of that town, and along the whole route from thence to Brus sels, to make the most active preparations for the recep tion of our most gracious Monarch. In the course of last night the Royal George and the Royal Sovereign yachts arrived in the Roads from Portsmouth, and took on board pilots for the River; but we have since learnt that they were 'topped in the Dewqs by signal, and an to iron& there. It is con , fidently stated that his Majesty will reach here on Same day evening, and embark the following day for Calais and that the yachts bate been countermanded to receive him.. Orders have been issued to have Post Office packets in readiness to receive the King, in the event of the - raeht: not being able to get to Dover. The Mary yacht, Lord Deerhurst, arrived here last evening, from Cowes, Isle of Wight, and sailed again this morning for Calais. A French messenger arrived here late in the day, and immediately embarked on board the Georgians passage vessel, for Calais. Passed by, the Mindarin of Baitimorei to the Downs. d' button, Sarr. M. -a-Manly, of the Detain establish meat, arrived at the Head Office its this city, on Suer: day evening, about six o'clock, with his prisoner, whose Dame is Murray (not Armstrong, as erroneously , stated in the London reports), who was apprehended on his owe. coafession, for a murder perttaied in this county some yesis ago.

HAY3IARKET THEATRE. A new comedy entitled Match Breaking ; or, the Prince's Present, was brought out at this theatre, and obtained, from a very full house, unanimous applapse. The outline of the story is this :—A Captain in the Kings Huard, named Edgar, having been betrothed to Emma, a niece to the Baron cfneStromberg, asks permis sloe of the Prince, in all the glowing language of a pas sionate lover. T he curiosity of the Prince Is excited, and on Edgar 'hewing him a miniature of his Emma, the Prince repests it in a manner that amounts to a de mand. Edgar is consepently forced to subniit.and re turns to the Castle of the Baron, when he receives a letter front thVidoice, Informing him that he himself (ledges to- be present at the signing of the contract under the disguise of his relation thd);oan, a Professor of Philosophy, but forbids his making it known. On their proceeding to sign the contract, Proftssot Ilwrman asks if Edgar had obtained the consent of the Prince and be ing answered in the negative, urges the necessity of so doing. This is resisted by the wholeof the family with the highest indignation. But a present arriving at this moment front the Prince, the state of affairs are entirely changed, and on mature deliberation. it is thought advise able to defer the contract, in'hopes ofmarrying Roanacto the Prince himself. This hope entirely changes their opinions, and trout being the most avowed enemies to the government they conclude that they must submit to receive situations in its administration. In the mean while every persuasion is used by Professor 114;nan, in order to obtain from Emma an expression of willing. ness to forsake Edgar, provided an overture should be made by the Prince, but all in vain : nothing can change her resolution. Edgar breaks in upon them, and be ing seized with jealousy vows never to leave her; but being warned by the Prince that is time for him to be on guard, he instantly departs in an agony of dis pair. A letter arrives to tell the Baron of the approach of the Prince bimself—he trembles at P rofexsor man being found in the house, on the arrival of the Prince, as it is supposed he had written an invective against his Highness, but lie will not depart in spite of all entreaties. The Prince is announced. Hoffman throws of his Professor's dress and discovers himself. He again tries the constancy of Emma by offering to marry her to a Colonel. lint she still declares that she will marry none hut her Edgar; whereupon the Prince calls him,' gives him a Colonel's commission and joins their hands. The parts were all admirably sustained; the Prince by Mr. TERRY ; Baron Solomon, by Mr. JONICS__,* Emma, by Mrs. CHATTERLRY; and Edgar, by Mr. DIE CAMP. Mr. TIMMY, under all the embarrassing circumstances that his disguise placed him in, maintained the utmost dignity throughout, and Mrs. CHATTERLEY, in one or two scenes, being urged to forsake the object of her affectinn for the stiendour of a Court, showed a depth of fee which,' did - 'Mk %Tali - think 'she w an pow, sessed o (. Mrs. BAKER,. as page to the Prince, and 'Miss CORM, as attendant on Emma, song several songs, which were much applauded. On the whole the piece is deserving, and will no doubt obtain consi derable success; though we cannot approve of the ten dency which it might be likely to bare on the public feeling. it will be repeated this evening. It will have been observed that Sir William Curtis, and some of the friends who accompanied him in his loyal trip to Dublin, arrived in safety oft" the Isle of Wight on Friday last. The worthy Baronet's yacht was the only part of the Royal squadron which could pass the Land's End in the late heavy gales. By this exploit he is said to have obtained gre.►t eau/ in the service, and to have excited the jealousy of the com mander of the Royal George, who, although strongly urged by his Majesty, could not reinitiate successfully the mortis)! Baronet. From this circumstance, no doubt, has arisen the report that the worthy Alderman was to be called from turtle and city politics to high naval promotion. The room in Brecon Priory, the seat of the Mar quess Camden, in which the King slept on Thursday night, on his way from Milford to London, is called King Charles's room, and which was occupied by that Monarch, on his visit to Wales, nearly two centuries ago. SEDITION !!!—Vesterday a miserable looking fellow, named Ralph Crampton, was charged at Marlborough street office, berme Mr. Conant, by Pepper, the constable of St. James's, with using seditious language towards the King and the Constituted Authorities of the realm. It appeared that on the preceding evening (Wednesday), the prisoner collected a crowd of persons together in tJermyiDostrees, and with a lend and sonorous voice was venal% from a paper the last sorrowful lamentations of four persons who are ordered for execution on Tuesday next. Now and then he entertained the crowd with a • speech extempore, and continued this conduct for some time. Qn Pepper, the officer; coming up, be found the oratorelevated above the heads of the spectators, dressing them with much violence of gestnre and ac Lion, arraigning the conduct of his Majesty for order ing the persons for execution, also levying foul abuse upon the newly . created Lords Justices for governing the country during the King's. absence, and bestowing nitmelnes epithets on the Recorder of L ondon ; he con cluded his harangue by an appeal to the people present as to the propriety of his delivering his sentiments thus puhlicl .Not.having any . opponent, he again com menced a long oration, consisting of the foulest calam- Dies against 'loyalty, when Pepper interposed his au thority, and conducted the thtelamator to the office. The Orator, on being Called upon for his defence by Mr; Conant, described himself as a very poor man, en deaVoiming to earn a penny, and was ready to beg any pardon proposed to him if he had- acted wrong, main taining only one (Inanimation, namely, his right to make a speech when and where be pleased, 06 the subject isost suitable to himself.

' at Dublin, appear to have lost their stimulus since ti,e departure of his Majesty. The total, to the 12th o: September, amounted only to 9,096/. 9s. 2.1. On Saturday next, the King's squadron is expected to be in readiness . for sea. During his Majesty's stay in D.: i). lin, the crew of the Royal George had an open bone, where they regaled each day free of expense. By tit, better informed it is positively said, that the King w:l proceed to Dover for embarkation, and sail ittonediate:y for Calais harbour. From the proximity of the opposite coasts, this is infinitely more probable than his Majesty's taking his departure from a remoter part of the Chant:6. In consequence of its having been suggeste.l by s+•- feral Noblemen and Members of Parliament, who a' i Members of the New Union Club House. which :s forming on the plan of the United Service Club, that the intended situation in Regent-street, near Hanover square. would be found very inconvenient by its di ,- tance from the Houses of Lords and Contemns, an ar• rangement has been entered into, by which the ur iv line of Pall-mall, near the Opera House, is fixed on, and where a superb mansion is in a ferwatd state for the reception of the Members of the Club. The inhabitants of Sheffield are about to introduce themselves to the Dale of Norfolk and the, Earl oe t Surrey, by inviting them to partake of a samptuoas public dinner in the Town hall. s THE FIRE IN GH4C6CHUIRCH-STHIRET.—BESideI the 2 i firemen and turncock, there was a fourth wan lost la life at the above calamitous fire, whose name was n 4 .; known until yesterday; his name was George Itos.;, a journeyman carpenter; he lived at 49, Parker-stree*. I Drury-lane, where he bore a good character; from his wife's statement, it appears that he and she were at market, after which, they went into a public-house at a late hour on Saturday night week (the night the dread f.:l fire broke out) ; she went home and left hint in the publi..- house, since which hour she had not seen him ; not COlll. ing home that night, she feared he might have got int-. some scrape, and she made inquiry at differeut watch - houses; hearing nu account of him, she inquired on 'Monday at the different Police Offices, but without sw: • l eess : alto afterwards inquired at the various prisons an.l hospitals; but her search proved fruitless ; at lengths from the circumstance of his being missing since tlil night of the fire, she began to suppose he might be thit person whose body war not owned. An in q uest sat on the bodies, and they were buried last Sandy. The dis consolate woman repaired to make the neces'ary in quiry, and from the stockings and some fragments of clothes, she was convinced they were those of her unfor tunate husband, it is conjectured that he had accom panied the fire engines and assisted the firemen. Keseuttort.—.lt wilt be recollected that N. J. Gard, who was convicted at the Bothnia Summer As sises, of the wilful murder of Henry Hoskin; at Bog castle, vras.by the humanity of Baron Graham, re spited until the 10th instant, in consequence of the unprepared state the unhappy criminal was represent ed to be in, for undergoing the awful sentence of tits law within the usual time prescribed for the execution of murderers. At first he seemed todiregard the indulgence thus showil him, and appeared violent, hardened, and impertinent I . bat, by the unremitting exertions of the Rev. Mr. Feyrer, the Vhaplain of Bodmin prison, he was brought to a proper seise of his situation, and before his execution acknowledged that he had led a very wicked life, though be hoped 'that be was not out of the reach of -mercy, and that he died in peace with all mankind. The time allowed_by the respite having expired, on Monday morning last. at ten o'clock, he was led to the drop adjoining -the gaol, to which he walked with a firm step, and having reached it. knelt& short time is prayer with the Chaplain, to whom be repeated that he pnt.bis trust in Jesus, and died in charity with all men. He expressed contrition for what he had done, forgave all his enemies, and said he was not afraid to die. In little more than ten minutes from his first appearance on the scaffold, he gave the signal, when he was launched into eternity, and died without a struggle. !Joan-Exenaroa. -Sept. 21—Notwithstanding the change in the weather and the unfavourable accounts 'that are daily received of the serious injury sustained to . the out-lying crops, the Wheat trade was very heavy this morning, yet there was rather more demand than either on Menaay nr Wednesday last, but the supply this -week - is so overwhelming that not one quartet of it has been 'get off, bet what sales were made ,were.on bill as good terms as on Wednesday.—Barley.
