• . • RIGH7'S IN SCOTLAND. 1 1 0 THE EDITOR OF THE STATESMAN. 1 /14 —if: yes tbink the fallowing obsereations worthy of a place in the Sr.drissmArr Newspape►, 'thesehject, now an impottankono to Scotland, will le continued, by your obedient Pimlico. T. B. - The Scots, before the Union of the two Crowns,. in 1603, enjoyed a very considerable share of poli tical freedom ; indeed, if the People bed not felt the benefits of their laws, they would not have made ' such prodigious efforts In repelling the Roman le. gions, nor been able to withstand. the repeated at tacks of the Danes, and other northern invaders ; To, it is onnatural to suppose that they would have perserered for so many ages, against such powerful - antagonists, unless their situation bad been easy and to roforte.ble. The Clans not only elected their Chiefs as late as the days of BUCHANAN, but discharged them if they behaved improperly ; and the Chiefs elected their Kings till the reign of KaNNETU 111., after which they %ere sometimes elective, and sometimes heredi• levy; but they seldom, in the latter case, hesitated to change the order of succession when the Prince encroached upon their liberties. The King had the tight of touching cell •Acts decreed by Parliament with his sceptre, but he had not the right of withhold. legit, They never submitted to :a Veto. The Members of Parliament were shasen annually,and times of their meetings and adjournments, at well as the appoint ment of Committees to guard the public tranquillity, during the intervals of sitting, belonged exclusively to themselves. The Parliament consisted only of one gnus*, composed of Lords and country Gentle. men, the borough Members, and the Clergy. The Lords were very different from the modern Peers ; they were the real proprietors of-the soil ; an d if they sold their estates they lost their right to sit in Parliament. A title could stet aatborise a man to . sport with the liberties of his fellow•snen. Their . sings were neither in possession of the sword'uor the 'Ors.. They never attempted to enslave defenceless . itatioesonor did-they deal in human blood. That . 'lntermit:system of extorting money from the People, and: its* ing their Delegates to betray-their interest onknown ; bet since the union of the ...':Vosses; Scotland has undergone a complete change. Thei*glish Ministers - have been constantly es . to Prerogative in Scotland. They made the . stypetdosent there, before they enslaved their own coostrymen. All Acts of Parliament made in fa *our of liberty in'Scotland, bat& been entirely omit ted in 'the late editions ; and some of the Scots themselves have been extrern4l, active in - forging Chains for their fellow-countrymen. In short, jut licehas beep bought and sold,and patriotism reckoned •At disgrace. This mournful degeneracy had made great progress in FLETCllER'itittleMdli pathetically lamented by him in a speech made in Parliament, in tbe• following words :• 64 If any justice were to 'be found in this nation, the advisers of these things'had long since been brought to a scaffold. But as there is no crime under Heaven more enormous, more treacherouf, and more destructive to the very nature of our Government, than that of brib ing Parliament, so there is nothing more com mon and barefaced ; and I think this Session should have been opened by purging the noose from such corrupt Members; which, if we had done, we had not met with to many difficulties and obstructions of the public service." It would be unfair to judge of what Scotland was, and what a great majority of the People now are, from the ScotiMembers in the British House or Com. mons. They neither represent the People oor the property of the country. They are nominated by a faction in the interest of the Covert s and the! . serve the fuel .it with fidefity. Nor ought it to be forgot. ten that it is in a great measure to BUCHANAN, who 66 arose in Scotland like a morning stir, to announce the approach of philosophical day"—that Europe is indebted for the little liberty she enjoys. In hire were united the most elegant learning, with the most liberal sentiments. lie defended the principles of Representative Government, with an energy which no former age had equalled, and no succeeding has surpassed. lie drew the source of his information 'from the schools of antiquity; but he excelled thorn all, in his Treatise concerning the Rights of the People ; and was the first writer of any age or coon. try, who maintained that the whole body of the Peo. ply, without any exceptions of birth nr fortune, had tint only a right to vote in chasing their Representa tives, but to reject their laws, provided they were not agreeable to the public interest. VOLTAIRE RESUSCITATE.D.—The heirs of M. BEIt. TRAK°, a Protestant Minister at Berne, have dis covered, among the papers of that Clergyman, a great number of unpublished letters of Vouratat. most of which are in his own hand-writing, and all of which hear his signature. It is said that they are •to be forthwith published at Paria.• The Exchange between London and Dublin is greatly reduced. It is so. law as 7f. The Typhus Fever, We regret to say, has, upon the whole, ex perienced no diminution in Ireland.' Some accounts, on the contrary, state that it has increased in viru lence. It appears from the Dublin Papers, that an 0. P. war now rages in that city. DREADFUL ATTEMPT AT SUlClDlL—Wednesday, John Hyatt, a shoemaker, residing in Newton street, Holborn, after having a quarrel with his wife, suddenly seized up his working knife and plunged it into his breast. A Surgeon was fetched, who dressed the wound, and immediately ordered him to be taken to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. Hs now dies in a very dangerous state.

Gentlemen of the town and neighboith.eSd sat down to a most escellent dinner. It having been whispered that Mr. Harvey was to foie tie Chair, the high road to London was thronged Witii voters and respectable inhabitants, and upon hie appinath within three miles of the borough, the:pripelere became irresistible, the horses werti:itaken - from carriage, and that Gentleman was .drivis' te"l6o Angel, amidst the tumultuous and heertefelt shoutt• of thousands.

The declaration that be was, at length, emancipated from every possible entbarrasitient, and stood alike unfettered in hit character and principles, as when he first presented himself to their notice, was received by 'thrust of satiga.ction, which none can appreciate who 'were net. present. Ile ferther'pledged himself, that no boon within.the range of power or influence, should deter him from offering himself asi Candidate to represent this re spectable borough in Parliament, at the neat General *Election. The company did not retire till nearly twelve o'clock, when Mr. Harvey left the Chair, and every person expressed himself delighted' with the political discussion and harmony which had been es cited. The ElPpoty Cbgir was most ably vopported by Mr. G. Seaman; of Goabecks t and the pleasure of the evening was considerably increased by the vocal powers of Mr. Gibbon.

Captain Maitland, of the Bellerophon, much to his honour, has gives. a decided and public contradic tion to the scandalous and erroneous statements which have appeared in the publicstions devoted to Goverument, reliable to the conduct of Napoleon whilst on board Ike Bellerophon. The political part of the. Edinburgh Annual &wirier abounds with adoptions of the newspaper calumnies and opprobri ous epithets heaped upon the illustrious exi:o of St. Helena. Captain hlritland's letter is addressed to the Editor of this Edinburgh Publication, and says : " I must state," says Capt. Maitland, " that Bunaparte•never conducted himself with arrogance whilst he Sias on board the ship I commanderf. lie knew the world too well, and he was aware.keould not have adopted a measure more likely to'clefeat any wish be might have enteitained of being considered as a crowned head; but, in fact, he Dever attempted to elect such respect; and, so• for from its being shown to him, he had tint e'en the honours due to a General Officer paid on his comiti4 onboard the Bel.' lerophoo: any helpers that, could be construed into those due to the former tank he had held, did not originate with me, and certainly were not demanded by him. " I can assert most solemnly, that at no period in my presence (and was the only person in the ship who had direct communication with him, his own people excepted) did he ever threaten to eemmit suicide. It is true, some of his attendant. hinted that he would be guilty of that crime—whether with his concurrence or not, I cannot pretend to say : hot when the question was put to them by me, if he had ever said he would put himself to death, they ac knowledged he bed not, and the expression they had construed into that threat was, that he was deter. misted not to go to St. Helena ; and if I may be al lowed to judge from the sentiments he expressed on the subject, it avid an act he uever had in contempla tion."
