I The whole tribe of Journals io the pay of Minis. ten have again resorted to their former clamours about " disloyalty" and ' 6 dissatisfaction," in con sequence of Mr. R.vorti having stated, in the'liouse of Commons, that he had obtained a copra the oath administered to certain individ*als engaged in the late riots ; and they unblushingly infer from this circumstance, 66 that it was neither the want 'of wolit 3 nor the price of provisioos i that 'produced ernE STATESM AN. bun here are 10 such ; besides many lesser ones.

With an jnconsisteney which attends all their reasoning, when. they attempt a vindication of the impolitic measures of Oovern ment, these same hireling Journals admit, though , somewhat reluctantly, that otir Manufacturers are in a distressed state, and that provisions are high in price; but they say, that " this is not owing to the operation . of the Orders in Council." Thus, while they do not deny the existence of the evil—an evil demonstrably consequent on the continuance of the war, they dispute that- a war measure, every way calculated to produce it, has in any shape bad this tendency, aid endeavour, in the most shameless manner, to shelter Ministers from public indigna tion, by reviving the cry, which they at one period found so very useful to them, against supposed Jacobins and Levellers. It is clear, however, that neither the nature of the Oath which is alluded tif, the terms in which it is couched, nor the circumstances which I have given birth to these afflicting disturbances, can I warrant, in the smallest degree, such illiberal asper sions. The Oath is couched in the following lan guage :—" I, A. B. of my own voluntary will, de clare and swear never to disclose the names of the persona who compote the Secret Committee, or by de scribing, either by word or sign, their persons, fea t res, clothes, connections,' ice. or cause them to be I discovered, under the penalty of being put out of 1 the world by the first person who may sleet me, and of I hayfug my name and character eves' held in abhor rence. I swear also to pnald: Witbieath any , traitors .to this compact, and to pursue them for that purpose, although they should ffy to the verge of the nation." Now, what is there iu this oath, that has the most distant reference to politics i The individuals taking it, swear to conceal—not thepurmes of their asso elation—not the object they have in view by orga nizing themselves—but merely the names of the per sons who compose the Committee, which they consi dered it necessary to appoint, for the management of their affairs. What then is it they propose to obtain ;by the appointment of this Committee ? The conduct I It( the rioters, as explained in all the Provincial Pa pers, affords a plain and simple answer to this.— They aim at the destruction of all' machinery erected i for the purpose of manufactures, which they say 1 0:ploys fewer hands than before . the introduction of these improvements, and conseqatently lessens their • means of subsistence. We cannot Milt, this proceed iug 011 any principle; nor is it essential to our present ar goment that weshould demonstrate its pernicous con sequences. What we maintain is, that the rioters are in no shape influenced by political cotisiderations ; that the object which they aim rit is not a concealed, but an avowed one; and that, therefore, it is unjust, in the highest degree, to attribute to them murices of action which do not appear in any way to influence theta. The ihole of the evidence already taken at the bar of the House of Commons shows, indeed, that these infateated aersonsfiave no wish to resort to riot or disturbances; that their forbearance has heen exemplary ; and that their turbulent conduct is the result of desperation, brought on by the want of employment and the want of subsistence; and had it not been for the very philauthropie conduct of thei r em ployers,who have been accumulating stock for these last twelve months, in order to-keep their hands employed, the consequences of the general stagnation in trade which nom prevails, would have been felt much sooner. We do not n ish the public to edopt opr assertious for truths, though, from what is daily passing before them, they have the means in their poner of deter mining the fact. Let them give the Minutes of Evi dence &ken before a Committee of the house of Commons, a deliberate consideration, and then ask themselves, whether the attempts of the Ministerial Journals to prejudice the question, by reviving the cry of Jacobinism, is its nay degree warranted by-the afflicting disclosure which these Minutes present ? Paris Papers reached town late last night, to the 2d inst. The news they contain is nearly of the same description as that brought by the Papers which ar rived the preceding day.

It is stved In these letters, that an embargo was expected to be imposed' ow the following day, and it was ander stood_that all vessels exceeding twenty-five tons were to be lard up in the harbour under certain regukt tioos, which wouldsrevent their sailing for Europe.

Tkin; however, is not an unprecedented case. When the Lord* waited on his MAlmrry, at Windsor, to congratulate him on his recovery, in 1789, they were in his presence be fore they found • they had not brought the Address with them. This awk*ard situation they were obliged to confess, when his MAJCWIT, with a era- I dons smile, relieved them frem their embarrassment, by preserving them with the topy, which was blame 411ately read es the original.

In the Philanthropi s t, publlol^d I 4 'way. i-e have read the detail of the proceedings of the Soup ii•!Ciety in Spitalholds, which was first established in 1797., and has been continued t.ver since. it is inrc.osiible to 'peruse this stateme.tt without the most lively :ym pathy. The description of the state of tnisgwy that prevails in that neighliont heed, and of the reli: , l' af. forded by the benevolent exertic•es of this Society., must make a deep impression on the hearts of all who are not callous to the feeliqs of humanity.

This is supported' by voluntary contributions, and a Committee of Visitods attend regularly to see the work of charity duly perfore,- ed. They have lately made an investigation of the charac ter and condition of the poor who receive this daily supply, and a most valuable (locament is the result. From these it appears, that of 1,5,1.1 families, consist. ing.af 7,186 persons, nearly oust-half had no Bible, and not only 1,094 could read. A great proportion of these poor families are weavers, and it app care that there are now 2,851 looms unemployed, and an equal number with only half employ, and it is calcu lated that the number of clepetufa tits for bread on eabh leen, are between three and four. What mast have been-their deplorable condition but for this Sea sonable relief ? They acknowledge themselves with grateful hearts, that they must have starved. This benevolent work is carried on by a Committee; the Members of which are of different religious de nominations. They meet once a 'fortnight,' and " here Dissenters and Churchmen, forgetting their little differences of opinion in otlibr respects, unite cordially together in the work of Christian h..nevo. Lience. The sight of so many respectable persons, of various religious sentiments, acting harmoniously for the relief of suffering humanity, is, indeed, an irn.. pressive and edifying spectacle. Tubs is one of the triumphs of philanthropy peculiar to the present day, over that intolerant, narrow, and blgotte't spirit ; which is in effect crying out—' Statal by thyself; come not near me, for am better flab thou.' " We earnestly recommend the model of this Institti ; Lion, as well as the schedule they have taken of tho poor, in the district, to the attentive perusal of the I humane in every part of the United kingdom.
