But the friends of freedom must be ever on the watch, they must be careful whom they send as their Represeutatives to the Chamber of Deputies ; and they must, above all (hive Watch over the liberty of the press, at soon as that detestable fac • Lion is extinguished, which lent. its aid to the massacres of Roisestrinac, and basely slumbered daring the tyranny of 130aAPAISTE. As a true friend to liberty, I have ever detested, with equal warmth, .the excesses of the Revolution, and the gloomy tyranny which affected to put an end to it ; soul if I ever for a moment wished for the success of BONAISAttIit, it was only when he was likely to lie mastered by that rising spirit of liberty isbich he could never wholly extinguish with all Ills art and intimidetiom Should any disposition bemattifested by the Government of France to restore the ancient state of things, or disturb the property acquired, by the limitation, it will then be time for the friends of liberty to bestir themselves; in the mean-time let • them be employed in repairing the evils they.luon! Oefered during the reign of tyranny—let them coliie Stela She affs-ar peace—setiffem seek to found mo. Wiry on the basis of principle rather than of interest or convenience—let them turn themselves inwardly end reforit their own lives, for where there is vice there cannot long he liberty—let them support the present. Government as long as it deservei support, had hasten le relieve their country from the heavy burdens imposed on it. When she French first chose to reform their Voiernmest, the other Powers of Europeßresomed to dictate to them, and attempted to restore their Bing to his former authority ; the French were successful in resisting their altemps, and ceased their antagonists - to repent of their temerity. They tnight many times hare had peace, had they not chosen to submit to a man whose ambition sought for more than the punishment of the aggressors, and brought all the Kings in Europe to tremble for their own safety. That man pursued his 'conquests till they recoiled upon himself and the nation he governed, and the Allies hiving compqiely overturned his power, are taking the means to extinguish it for ever. It is to 130. NAP.tart that the French must attribute their present situation ; it is be who has made it requisite to re. strain the power erf France; it is he who so far over strained-the strength of the nation as to reduce it to its present eak Hess ; it is he who first dest royed its biter:sal liberty, and then left it a prey to its enemies. ' No man who is the friend of liberty, can be the friend of BowAnSitTa. It will possibly be realms. bend by some of your Readers, that I first core. sponged with) our Paper as the determined enemy of 13oti1PARTE, and a friend to the restoration of the Munson:. .The gross t iulation of the Treaty of Fontaiublein by the Allies, and the consequent re turn of Botiectaes to France, induced me to be lieve, from the change of his situation, that he might become the friend and supporter 'of liberty ; hat events happened %thick . rendered the trial impossible, and by the fatal battle of Waterloo, the Allies triumphed over the independence of France and the power of BoaAPAltrt. All hopes of liberty from him therefore being destroyed, what remains for the friends of freedom, but to hope that som e porti o n o f it may be left to the Freneh na. lion, and that a few years pf peace and tranquillity ins ) render it completely prosperous and free. That the military. system of Boteapment was both danger. 1 , 434 to the mime of Earope and the freedom of France, cannot, I should hope, for a moment, be doubted—that mocha system is at anent! every friend of liberty must rejoice—and all attempts to restore it should be viewed with abhorrence..

It is necessary to mention, that fa, Holm complaints have been alleged as to the non-de: livery of letters, with remittances, to and (rani the metropolis. The Post-master here has inef fectually endeavoured to ••trace the deliorraeacy,• notwithstanding his most painful and incessant perseverance. It appeared in the course of the evidence, that Mr. Pitt, of Lewes, remitted in the Month of September last 201. to London, one half, with a 101; Bank of Eogland note, of which he took, she date and number.' The latter was not ackonw 'edged, amid Mr. Pitt never heard - more,. until his Correspondent requested payment in October last, upon which application was made to. Mr. Fiteeling, and the number and date of the 101. note, bearing also the initials of Mr. P. were forwarded to the Bank. A few days ago, the identical 101. note was paid in at the Bonk, and auccessfutly traced through various negocietors, to a Mrs. Hailer, of this town, who received it from the father of this latter-carrivr. The several witnesses e•tahlished the fact, and the evidence, altogether, disctosed a painful propensity lof youthful dissipation in the Prisoner, 'highly -mil -1 liable to the parent, in not checking, so hen it came to his knowledge, and whose deposition exhibited a series of equivocation, that after a most patient tuindtion, the Magistrate fully committed the Prisoner' to take his trial at the twat Assizes, for feloniously stealiug the letter. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. ' Theso Sessions conneeteced yesterday, • before W. Watson, Esq. and a Bench of Magistrates. The Cott was occupied in heating petty assaults, of no interest to the public, except the following easo, which derives interest from the nature of 'the indictment ; . CHARGE OF CONSPIR 'tCY. • James Gregory. George Sonia, l'rederick Sower.' set, and Robert Barrel, were indicted for malicious ly conspiring to deprive James Jackson of his ea.. rural sleep, by slivers kinds of noise, which also dis- Wiled others of the King's liege subjects. Mr. GURNEY opened the case on the part of the prosecution. • It appeared in evidente that the Prosecutor, s eherfieger, rented a second floor in the house of the befendant Gregory, a grocer, in Shored - itch that he had resisted there for 12 months, up to January, 1815. Gregory 'wishing to get possession of the upartmeists, be having removed his family from his :residence in Foro-setitatt, he served him with notice to quit in three months; at the esidrat• of which time the Defendant refused to remove, on account of the notice not being regular, it haviitg been served three dot) a after the last quarter of the year. A new notice was thee served, accompanied with a hasty expression, that if he did not remove noise and smoke should make him ; the three other Defendants, who were boys, serving in the shop of Mr. Gregory, were charged with carry itsg this threat into execu tion, by fighting with sticks on the landing place op. pusite the Prosecutor's apartment, at an hour they supposed he was in bed, and with rolling a cohler's lap-stone in the attic over his bedroom, also once having stopped the chimney, an as to create a great smoke its the room. To make Gregory is party to. these tiansactions i/ was deposed by the Prosecutor, that lie look the knocker off the private door to prevent his gaining admission, but - when he found that the Prosecutor obviated that by knocking with a stone, he had the losocker put on again, but had it tarred so. as to slick to the Prosecutor's fingers. Ou his cross-examination he admitted. he was in the habit of keeping late hours, and when the boys opened the door for him he did not always give them the most polite language ; he had also a daughter about seventeen years of age, whom the boys had been in the habit of romping with, but which ploasere be deprived them of before the noise conitueuced. Uridgman was the only witness called to prove that she neighbourhood saes disturbed, end he rookd not sad• thar the noise proceeded from the De fendant Gregory's house. Mr. ADOLPIgUIo conducted the defence. ,He called 12 most respectahh4 wit tie s t .", w h o gnus Mr. O re . gory a most Vuellewt character, as a discreet, peace able man. They also spoke to the general character of the boys. The Chairman (Mr. WAtsort) gummed up tlreevi deuce, and ob►erved, that the Defendants nese in. dicted for one of the a►ost hoinonus misdemeanors in the eyes of the law—so much so, that if they mere found guilty they would be disqualified from - eviug evidence. • Ile, therefore, desired the Jury to amine the evidence well, before they came to a con clusion. The Jury, after consulting about five miustes, re turned a verdict of Nut Guilty..

Carroll wondered much at the learning of Carter, but was not to ' be put off in that way ;he would have his action against the Black, and accordingly proceeded' to Lord Norbory, and esplained all the matter so satisfactorily to his Lordship, that his Lord. skip granted a bat immediately against poor Tawney, • after bestowing many compliments en (Ise person and t address of Car roll, and espr essi tg his surprise that • Ike lady should have indulged in such a preference.

Thus the matter rests for the present; when It will end no man can tell.—( Dublin (Atom) It is stated in letters received by the Tuscan , that that Don.

Swixoi.rocr.—Some months nen, Cwt. R. who was a resident id Chapel-street, Betlfotd-row, was called soddenly away to baits. Ilia house, which was com pletely furnished, and contained a cellar well stocked, with wine, he left in care of a relation, with in .; strections to let the same until his return, prodded the opportunity of a respectable tenant should oiler Itself. Soon after Capt. R. bad proceeded on his voyage, a man of genteel appearance made proposals to take the house. Mr. R's relation was particular as to character; and although great pains were t. .ken Ito make the referees appear most respectable, the party ryas not accepted. Neat appeared as candidates for the residence, a Lady and her daughter, of genteel appearance. They represented themselves as wife mud daughter of a-gentleman who bad made his for. tone in the West Indies, and who was minding up his affairs to relorss to England, where it was his inten lion to spend the remainder of his days.. They wore I not particular, they said, the 'present house would do esceediogly well s until Mr..-- arrived, when, of course, a regular establishment would be necessary. As to references, they had had little opportunities of being known in England, except to a Gentleman in the± profession, who resided in the Temple. Ile had the management of their affairs in this country, and could best speak to their respectability. The Gee. , denten was waited upon, and being found in respect: ablrechambers, pith his clerks around him, his re : presentation, which accorded with every thing the ladies bad said, was attended to, apd the arstageri frees Indies were pot in possession. Splendid enter tainments imosediately followed, and nothing .watt omitted to keep ep the idea of wealth' and magnifi cence. Instead of iodine' ilifficitty in obtaining credit in the neighboarhOod, the tradesmen were only anxious to receise their orders. At length the periods of payment came round, and this was „Ike signal for their decamping, but did not do so before they had sent of most of the moveable saleable, in the house, and had cleared the cellar of every bottle of wine ; the professional gentleman, it is supposed, accom panied them, for be, disappeared about the fume time ender similar circumstances. It is believed that they belong to au extensive gang of swindlers, and that the first person who came after the house was este of them. No tidings here been heard of the party. Surcum—The hostler of the Dog and Bear Inn, in tlri Borough, was on Saturday morning shout five o'clock discovered suspended from a beam in en ave nue leading to this - stable. The landlord !leering a anise, and suspecting there were thieves in the pre mises, got-up and came down stairs, when on pine into the yard he discovered the deceased hanging, and a pair of steps near him, which appeared to have been kicked down by him after he had mounted them to accomplish his purpose.
