Instructions for that plea had been delivered to hit attorney, at a time when he was deeply eura s eti with business of mute interest. and when he was net aware °film precise do cuments which wield be necessary for him to support that plea. He lied power to prove all that he had said arainet the plaintiff, a•td ten times more: and whatever course the present action might take, that proof should. in proper titne, be forthcoming : but it nal not ready now. He we!lutnieratutal that against no man hut himself would the resent action have been bronzlet. He knew the political feeling which the ?Wu- If misted to.

Ewell Dr. Franklin, having made an improper use of Vane letters obtained from the Government of Massa s.h•netts, had been called a thief by Lord Iloaslyn, at th- bar of the House of Commons. Mr. l'obbett then remarked upon the evidence which had been adduced by the plaintiff, and intimated to the Jury the ground epou which he proposed to rest his defence—that gruund being simply this :—that it was his son 11'il• ham, and not himself, who had been the publisher of the libels in question..and that a considerable portion el the matter complained of in the Re; inter of the tith Marc,,et lO9, hail been written by his suns William a•ul John. lie then called Wm.

'1 hat Wary varied from time to tinse 6 from 35 ur 40 guineas a week to 3501. per month. Witness was kriter fide: proprietor of the paper.

During the time that the paper eras the property of witness, his father had not the power at will to resume it; but, of course, if he withdrawn his writing, the shadow only would h..ve !wen left to witness. Mr. John Cul.bett, another of defendant': sons, de posed principally to !some alterations by him, and by his hral••r, in the article of the Gill ISI9, which regarded Mr. Wright, the plaintiff. The al terations were :oath-, because the article nag nut suf ficiently bitter. Mr. Scant.err, in reply, contended that the whole course of Ur.

" TAR ■IIITISf STAI E/111'4" Is isirneromaszo WITS " Ttf STATESIIV4." LONDON: TCKSDAT EVENING. incsmaja . By the article inserted yesterday, respecting a County Meeting at Yurk. it appears that the enlight- ' erred and public-spirited Freeholders of that pepsins and opulent county, bare determined to maintain con sistency with the character they acquired in the year 1779 ; and purpose at the ensuing Meeting, to being forward the great national question of Parliammmary Reform. It is highly desirable at such a crisis as the present, when the public mind is so mach alive to the circumstances that create the grand distinction between the sentiments of the people and thoseof theirtepresenta tives, that, asone ofour correspondents soma general expression of public opinion on this important subject should be immediately obtained. How it is possible fur intelligent men to reason upon the rrlitical evils that prevail, without tracing them to tiwir source; or to bore that by a change of men, the measures uf Gn rernmrnt will be amended, without a Reformation in its principles, is a solecism we cannot comprehend. Except from a childish fear of the charge of innova tion, ur from the sinister view of profiting by antiquated corruptions, we can conceive no motive for resisting the arguments that s• strongly plead for the necessity and promptitude of a Parliamentary Reform. On what ground is it that the Whigs are now so luke warm, on a subjert whirh, thirty or forty years age. animated every heart and every speech of those wh.• aspired to the denomination ? We Lave heard,—bat nithout direct authority we cannot believe—that the heads of that party which bad been honoured by this appellation, are not merely quite indifferent, but decidedly averse to a Iteform in Parlianseat.-- We hare been told of a certain Nobleman, (who had been distinguished for his real in this great cense, and who, were any thorough champ to take place in his MAJESTT'S councils, 'could be the most likely to fill tie highest Aire of the State), that when rerently applied to for the purpose of obtaining the concurrence of his friends he promoting the work of Reform. Isis Lordship frankly avowed that, smog, them, the plan proposed, which was of an eve/mire kind, would meet, he believed, with no cot:stemma whatever. His Lordship, further, as ee we in formed, declared it to be his opinion that am he to propose ei en the most moderate scheme that ever had been suggested, as a condition to the par')'• I" did not expect he o fluid be joined by half a dozen .4 his friends. Thus sorry are the prospects we :tr led to form on the niere substitution of Inc parly for another! It cannot then appear strange, er;rn l t: a part!• itself, that the Whig+ de not obtain the eon- Ifidence of a people, Ow mmbjecz of ii ho se hearts tlir defeat. Rut though en this account the peel& nnY lure occa•ion to lament, they have uo reason to le dishes) ed. By perseverance and by peace. their ever tions in the important irorh must ultimately be crowned with success. Instead of rem riving itripilseans itupressious front those tibia are styled their naterg leaders, they cannot fail ryes:wally Ity their numbers and their weight tv runisannicate suggestions and di rection to those who counsel and direct the affairs of State.
