k! ~,, t~~~ ; • •• • • • • • I" '!'Ills RIGHT OF PETITIONING—PRINCE. I.Y FAVOURITISM. Whatever tends to interrOpt or divert the channel of communication with the Sovereign, is an indirect Infringement of the liberty of the subject. Minis. ters demand, in their usual haughty tone, Where is the right of the Lis cry of London to present their Petitions to the King on the Throne ? We answer, that it is founded in nature; distinctly recognised in the Constitution and has been practised from timd immemorial its-this country, till a power greater than the throne itself, reared its imperious head, and or. lonised, a systematirisonspiracy against the legitimate cellos of the people. Kings derive the right of go verning originally ',from their stihjects;—they of course have a claim upon their Rulers for a fair and equitable distribution of the laws ; and if thiy- fail in thh4,they are bound, agreeably to,the conwact which)iihsiats between them, to hear and to yedresi the'people's grievances when' they ' ccrmplain. Were the distribution of instire or tbe managernent of • / the State„ a task ribicli Sovereigns coedd perform of themselves, the means of redress .round always re main' open, because constant access would then be had to their persons. glut as they are obliged to de. legate these important duties to !se discharged by Mi; nisters, the intervention of these mew removes. t);a King and his suhjects many degrees frail each other ; and as Ministers are, in general, more anxious to ng grandikelhernselves and friends, than 'to promote the welfare of the people, we have ample proofs in his tory of theiratterapts, in this. respect, proving suc cessful, in the first instance, but which seldom failed lit the end of being the cause of their own fall, and the ruin of the too Unsuspecting Monarch, who thus so far lost sight of his interest and his glory, as to put his sceptre into the hands of a favourite mi nion. Whenever a Prince is led to adopt a system' of favouritism, he never can have any inclination even to enquire into the wrongs of his people, far less entertain a wish to redress them. His ear is ef fectually shut to their lamentations and their cries; and the man whom he has set up as his representa• tire. left to exercise the sovereign nothority with. out interference or controul, being well aware that he ought to " trust not in Princes;" that lie may soon be supplanted by some new favourite, who will gain his master's good graces, and strip him of all his borrowed plumes; such a Minister, we say, will riot be slow in his endeavours to enrich hirnsckf and his minions while his short-lived authority endures. Ambition being the predominant passion in the mind, the immense revenues of an extensive empire, aro frequently found insufficient to satiate the rapa city of a Prime Minister placed in these circumstances. Hence arises wars, a fruitful source of peculation and of patronage; and heat e follows all those dreadful evils which a state of warfare entails upon the human race. The Sovereign whose enjoyments are no way limited, whether the nation is at war or at peace, but who, on the contrary, has his revenue increased kith the increase of public calamity ; the King re moved at an immense distance from his people , is f thus kept in perpetual ignorance as to their real si tuation; and, while the Minister takes special care that all who approach his Ito% al Person, shall wear the smile of contentment on their countenances - , he, with equal care; shuts up every channel of access to the R . , yal ear, lest the prayers of an oppressed peo ple should bring - a jar retribution upon his head, and burl hint from his 6 ' high estate" mud' sooner, and m ith greater effect, thou if he had merely %curt," the displeasure of his Sovereign on account of some Frsonal cause. When the Citizens of London re. fleet on the events of tb. it own day ; when,. they contrast the rapid, though imperfect, sketch which we hare viven of princely favouritism, with the eC. ctirrences which they have actually witnessed within these few weeks ; and when they recollect bow ne cessary it is to the security of the present Ministers, that the actual state of the country should be kept a profound•secret from the PRINCE REGENT, it will appear no way.. surprising, that the favourite who in these days guides the helm of the State, should, in all respects,follow the example of his predecessors. It was not till Mr. PITT succeeded in establishing his own authority in placc . of that of his present MA EST-r, who; *is 'Weir known; baZ bbert tteady tati pable for twenty years back of attending to public business, that the Livery of Loudon were denied ac cess to the Throne to lay a statement of their grie vattc'es at the feet of their Sovereign. It is also known that previous to that period, when his MA JESTY was capable of holding iutercourse with his' people, he was frequently in the practice of receiving Petitions with his owu hands from private indivi duals, and of affording them relief. But when the " heaven-born" Minister, now no more, contrived; to cajole the nation into a submission to his sway, the privilege so long enjoyed by hull viduals,aud by the Livery,. of London, was impetioosty denied them. -- The only rational motive which can be assigned for this grOlu infriugementof public right,whileCorpomte Bodies are allowed it to its Mktg latitude, is, that, the latter are uniformly undee;Sive ittituresos of the Minister, while the former, no induce meet to coneeal 'from their Si reign the ► g fi ' esj which they endure, and the distrtlitezwhich have *n brought on the cnantry by the proillecy of Ministe*i will speak the truth, however harsh in nay sound in: the ears of Royalty.* Bot truthcia . seld 'be dangers ous to ,Mr. Plods's!. and his Collessiises ; aad there fare, because the Petblon of the Livery cikitains facts' of too palpable a , nature to be'sAverted, vet" by tt• ~, Y I'~ THE I%Sl` li most ingenious sophittry, Ministers have determined that it shall not he perused by the PRINCE Ream . . There is no man, we believe, however indifferent aliout the interest of this country, who will not readily confess, that the situation to which it is now reduced, whether it has arisen from the. violence of faction, or from an arbitrary system of Government, justifies the most melancholy apprehensions, and calls 1 for the exertion of whatever wisdom or vigour is left among us. The Pitt:sces answer to the Petition from the Common Hall, and the measures adopted by i the Ministry, amount to a plain declaration, that the principles on which they hitherto acted, are to be carried to the utmost extent, and supported in all their consequences. The same spirit which violated the freedom of election, now. invades the Declaration and Bill of Rights, and actually threatens to punish the ; subject for exercising a privilege scarcely ever before disputed of Petitioning the Crown. The grievances of the people are aggravated by insults ; their corn plaints not merely disregarded, but checked by au : thot ity ; and all those acts against which they Peti tion, confirmed byttre Pet xces decisive approbation. •At such a time, no honest man ought to remain si lent or inactive. &Weyer distinguished by rank or property, is the rights of fteedom we are all equal. As we are Britons, the least considerable man among us has art interest equal to the proudest Noblemtin, in the Laws and Constitution of his country, and is fequalty called upon to exert himself in support of them, whether it be with the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, or the hand to execute.— IThe man who deserts such a cause, at this alarming crisis, is an enemy to his country; and a traitor to Ms Sovereign. The subject who is truly loyal to the Chief Magistrate, will neither advise nor submit to arbi-' Ivory measures. The City of Lodon has furnished an example which, we doubtnot, will be followed by the whole kingdom. Ti l e noble spirit of the Metro polis is the life-blood of the State, collected at the lime. From thence it circulates, with health .and vigour, through every artery of the Constitution.— The time is come when the body of the British 'peo ple must assert their own cause. Conscious of. their strength, and animated. by a sense of their dyty, they will not sereender their birth-right to Ministers, Parliament, nor Kings. LAW INTELLIGENCE. . COURT OE EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, ArmLlt. NE F. BURDETT, IN Limon, V. THE MANTA OF THE HOWL OF COmmoNi s AND AGAINST TOE LAGI. OF Mr. CLIFFORD was this day heard in reply, on the part of the Plaintiff, in error, contending, on three grounds, that the warrant ought not to be . supported, being grounded neither on Statute, in usage, nor in necessity. A ready mode of obtaining redress lay open to the House, if they had any thing to complain of in the conduct of the Plaintiff, by • prosecution at the suit of the Attorney-General, and in that case there would have been no necessity for breaking into the house of the Plaintiff with the as sistance of armed soldiers. Besides, the Plaintiff could not, in the nature of things, have been guilty of an obstruction of the business of the -House of Commons, which was the only thing they had al right to take cognizance of, while he, in fact, was confined to his own House.—The warrant, the Learned •Counsel al-o submitted, was defective in not sullici. t , ently expressing the offence is 7th which the Plaiiitiff i , I was charged. He was charted with pullishing..a libel reflecting on the House of Commons. Now,.J I out of twenty-three meanings given iw to the word '" reflecting," in Johnson's Dictionary, only two of them argued any thing that could at all be construed 1 in au offensive sense. The Learned Counsel also ob- i jected to thq execution. af the warrant, by armed soldiers breaking into thetoyse oft e Plain itr (its this paid ho 'rat .cut short by Sir JAMT.3 Ntseseter.n, who fi:liiimed him, that having already ` argued this part of the case, he might save himself I any further observations- on it, the opinion of the Court being fully made up upon it. Sr Jxots Alansriebo then delivered the opinion of the Court. Ile held, that wherever there was a legiilative body entrusted with the passing of laws for the government of a country, that body, in or- I dem o exercise its functions with advantage to the 'puc, must be armed with powers to prevent ob structions, directly or indirectly, to the due and free exercise of those functions. That this had been a privilege enjoyed by the Commons of England, at I least from the time of Elizabeth, was sufficient to.- establish the usage; how far beyond that pci iod the I right had been exercised, it might be a matter of cu riosity to antiquarian's, but could not he material for the Court to enquire. As to the objection dwelt upon by the Learned Counsel, that the house had been broken into by armed soldiers, it was highly fitting that it should be understood that this was no objection; but that the character of citizen did -dot merge in, but still existed independently of, though in conjunction with, that ofi,soldier. The evil-effects which, in the year 1780, resulted from a forgetful ness of this principle, on which occasion soldiers stood by and suffered felonies to be committed in their presence, from a mistaken notion, that because they had not a civil officer to instruct them, they were not entitled to interfere, would not speedily be forgotten, and afforded a useful lesson on this . subject. As to the publication in question, it was • I impossible to read it, and not to be convinced that it was peculiarly calculated to create an obstruction of I. the business si the House, and one for the punish- I ment of whictithe House, through its Speaker, was I justified in issuing its warrant. The Court was therefore of opinion, that in both actions the verdict I must be affirmed. I OPERA HOUSE.. MU. r. TAYLOR. A special motion on the merits was made this day in the Court of Exchequer, by the SOLfCITOR.•GE• NEKAL, Mr. [lira., and Mr. O'DcoY, on the part of Mr. Hill, an Attorney, to dissolve an injunction ob tained by the Defendant at Common Law, under which the Sheriff of. Middlesex was restrained from selling the chandeliers, &c. of the Opera House, which had been taker► in execution for adebt of 3001. After a great deal of argument, the Barons ordered the money to be brought into Court, if not, the in junction should be dissolved, which would, in effect, extinguish the lights: From the LONDON GAZETTE, April 21.

The Russian Counsellor BKADSKY has obtained a reward from his Sovereign for a method of inoculat ing sheep. He dissolves the verus in water, and steeps in it a piece of thread, which is•afterwards drawn through the extremity of the ear, and left hanging like an ear-ring. At the expiration .of a few Jays, the inoculated sheep has the same symp toms as a child who has been „vaccinated. The most - -vourable time for this operation is, the month of • . - - .

It is 175 miles S. by W. of Madrid, lati tude3B. 32. north, longitude 6. .50. west; 170 N. of Cadiz, 120 N. by W. of Seville, and 140 E. of Lisbon. liadajos contains sit monasteries, the same number of nunneries, and a popukit on of 7 or persons. The fortifications are partly ancient add partly modern; the fine Roman bridge over the Guadiana is defended by a tee tie peal, on w Mal a few guns were mount ed. On the right bank of the river stands 'lief/in of St. Christo val, which commands the city. Badajos suns twice besieged by the Portuguese, but never taken. At the close of the first revolutionary war, Badajos became remarkable for being the seat of the negociatious between Spain and Portugal, previously to the peace of Amiens, which terminated in a treaty obliging Spain to withdraw the troops sent to invade Portugal, oircon damn of the cession of the province of Olivenza by the Crown of Portugal. This treaty is commonly called the treaty of Ba dajos. In the present war, Badaj.,, became the quarters of a considerable part of the French army, in October, 1909, after the retreat from Talavera. Some ladies of distinction opened their houses every evening to the British officers. The enter tainments on those occasions, called the tertullia, were similar to the fad' table routs of London, with a mixture of music and singing. In t h e month of January, 1811, in pursuance of a combined plan of operation; hero eon the French Commanders, priniiously to the commerce tent of NiaP•ona a retreat front Santarem, Marshals Monier and Snult advanced from the south of Spain to Slcrida, and Mi.rtierhid siege to lia 'ajns, has ing previously obtained possession of Olivenza. A Sisanish corps, of from 12 to 20,010 men, under General Mendizauel, sent to the relief of Hada ios, was surprised, and totally defeated by the French, who had to cross tw o great riven, the Debora and the Guadiana, to come re them. The French Coi_inander being now at liber ty to prosecute the siege without interruption, effected a breach by the 10dt a February', a ben the Lieutenant-Governor, Intaz, who !sad caecredrJ as the governor, Menacho being killed, sur rendered the place. Marshal Beresford, who was advancing to het:chef af &Wales, having had the mortification to arrive too late to save it, retook Campo-Mayor and Olivenza, which the enemy ahandoa—l ; and on the 7th of May invested Badajos in turn, in conjuuction with %Spanish corps under that gallant and able patriot General Don s Carlos &Espana ; but iotelligence haviac been received of the advance of Soult, with all his force from taeville, to raise the siege, it. was thought prudent to send hack the, besieging artillery to lives, and leaving a corps to keep the garrison of Badajos in check, to march to give the ene my battle. The result was the dair-bought victory of • Al buera, gained by the British arms, on the tither May, ISM-- Shortly after this the siege of Badajos was resumed, Lord Wel lington having preciously joised and taken (be command of the army in person. On the 2cl al June the batteries were again opened against Fort St. atristoval, the principal defence of 11.i daps and on the 6th, a breach being effected which was re ported practicable, an assault was made, but the assailants were repulsed with loss.
