JAMES MADISON. 'I hat the provisions in this Act against the practice of flogging have arisen from our discussions here, and the re-publication of those discussions in Ame rica, there can be no doubt : for, you see, reader, that the practice had been continued to be tolerated in the American army until now. It is true, that that army was nothing worth speaking of ; it could hardly (thank God!) be called au army; hut, still it was in the power of the officers to flog the men, or cause them to be flogged, though I have some no tion, and am almost sure, that, as to the number of lashes, the Mosaic lam was the guide; ;hat is to say, " forty stripes lacking one." However, even this could be no longer supported. The publications in England, and, iu this respect, mine especially, had rendered the matter too notorious, and caused it to .. be too muth discussed, for flogging to be inflicted I . On the new artay no* called forth.-9URKE said, that 64 Kings had 'Deg arms," and, he added, that they " ought also to have good memories," advising, in the height of his counter-revolutionary hopes, the Kings of Europe to punish - their refractory subjects. But, long as the arms of kings may be, and they are,. indeed, sometimes pretty long, the Press has longer arms. I see no reason why those who wield it should not have good memories too : but, at any ' rate, the arms of the press outstretch those of all the Kings in Or .Id.—ln this case of America I while this was going on, no opportunity appears to have been lost by the Government or by the military.; of in the Honourable House, to assert, that jogging was adzwllly become kts frequent.—But t about the time that we aro now adverting to, some.; thing of greeter coasequence took place. The Com., mender in Chief sent, as it new appears, a circular', letter to the Commanding Officers of Regiments, the manifest object of Jelaclik.was to discourage t'he prac tice of Uukkg... I should, however, here remind the reader, that lit.the year,lBoB, Sir FitANCts UVRULTT moved for aleturn to be Jaid before the llotise of all tile ficiffeinis:which had taken place in the army' for a certain previous period. This motion was re . rded with high disdain; but, it appears, that since Matt time, returns of all the floggings are regularly tnadr , , by the several regiments, to the Commander in Chief, who has thereby, the means of judging of m hat is doing in each regiment in the way of flog giug.--At the time of the parliamentary discus. 440115, to which I have just alluded, the Commander in Chief caused, it seems, the following circular to be sent to the commanding officers of regiments.
