Sts—The art of political lying was brought to Maturity in this minty, during the Popish plot. It was praaised afterwards, with great success, in the pions days of Queen Anne; and rules and directions fer it were given by Dr. Swift, who, after great praftice in the art e during her reign, retired in disgust to Iseland, at her death, and there published to the world, the mysteries of his craft. After an obscure existence under the two first Princes of the House of Prenswick, political lying has been lately revived wish peat applause, and it has been since praised on many occasions with extraordinary cilia. Two curious and perfea specimens of the art have been lately put into my hands, from which, with your p.ortsiss: , .ii, I shall now and then trouble you won extralts, accompanied by short notes, to illustrate end po:,t ‘ut the excellence to which my authors have attained, in the prattice rf their art. One of these spcomens is called, A Protestant's Let ters," and it is certainly a master-piece of its kind; for the Author never copies from others, nor stumbles by accident upon his lies, but always invents them on purpose ; and having access to the very best sources of information, he thews his de entien and real attachment to his art, by constant ly seleaing, for hislie. that which he knows to be most direaly opposite to the truth. My other specimen, called, 's Plain FAN; or. A Review of the Condutt of the late Ministers," is the work of an inferior hand, a mere copyist, without intention; a sort of a Mrs. Carrefeer, whn never ventures beyond inn. hooting a lie of her own, bat goes about retailing the lies of her friend Sir Bee/mews Backbite. My tepees shall be made iadiderently from one or other of these performances, as l consider them to be produaions Ist the sax ie lewd, and calculated fur the same etre& The Fracas/et tells us gravely, " that the lest point submitted to His Majesty was the m re extension of the hush Bdl of 1795, to this kingdom ;'• and to give weight to his assertion, he boasts 'in the same letter of having "had ac cess to the rui,-inal soureesof the truth." that is. to t!'• psivate Minutes which passed between the King and his late Ministers, on the subjea of the Catholic ICH. How the Protestant got access to these Mi nutes, before His Majnty had given permission to his late Ministers to employ them in their own virs ni:ation against the lie, and calumnies of this very Protestant, remains to this day unexplained. Whether the Pittie-tant was then 'Sr is now a l'Avy Counsellor, or whether he got a sight of thoor papirs from some Privy Counsellor, whose placed him, in hie own conceit, above vulgar ointslity, or whose conscience, though tender in yoblic, has no objtlioit to secret sinning, I shall • t hut thit use which he made of them is cut i..u.„ and shews strongly his prediledion for, :al progress in, his favourite tut. He found that the • procrssition made to Majesty, by his late see n rats, on the suhje-t of the Catholics, was to obtain actons pertn-bion to insert a chute in the emitiihmt , him to miter amp imitit•ry ecPm ..;iaio.. so airy ?f his lase pm*da ; but this pare- Era . ih would o t it answer our Protestant's ends, he iitrerously (lunged istisi adapted it to h• s purpine, by roundly asserting, that the/est pbiwt crAmisttrei to M t Al 2 . Pcfm leo a twee estemsao• of tie !rise dB •f 1793, L, Alp Kimgclo.n . ; and finding his I; oil credlied by Cl.94yinen and other rsuredable per sonages, he has gone on repeating the SAW he in all his subsequent puhlications.

On the whole, the affairs of the Comp.my .eemed in that prosperous state, as to give general satisfaction to the Proprietors present.

In the General Committee no alteration !!as taken Ogee, except the elettion of Henry Bonham. Esq. in the room of Sir K. J. Sullivan, dece.ned. Some few additions were made to the lists of the Distritt Com mittees. About four o'clock :leer 60 persons sat down to an excellent dinner Vs'iiiiam PI aed, Esq. in the Chair.

On Thursday last, the LORD LILIIITV4ANT and the Duchess of RicliedoNo, returned hom the Vice regal 1.0 Igc, in the Phasnix-park, to dinner, at Dublin Cestle, in consetmencst of the Drawing room who, 1• was held in the evening. On Friday they attended a public breakfast at the Rotunda ; and. on Saturday, were to honour the Theatre with their presence, to see The limey Moe. and Of Art To-morrow. The Treasury Journalists ought not to express any surprise, much less discontent, at the delay of the long-predicted expeditions. It is in petted *conformity with the uniform practice of their fa• vourites, and not at all inconsistent with the een awes so lavishly bestowed en the inactivity of the late Administration. "rhe present Ministers very naturally wait for the fall of Dantzick, and the commencement of winter. They are too magna niaums to take the advantage of seasons, and of win.ls, and too generous to make their expeditions against an enemy who is otherwise employed.— Their pol z; is to be regulated by the glorious example of the campaigns of Hanover, Holland, and Naples, and their measures on this, as well as on all other occasions, to be submitted to the great wisdom and sagacity of Lord Mat.vita.s. They bl tined the late Ministry for not sending troops to the Vistula. when the French were marching towards the Elbe ; and they will deserve to incur a similar mosaic it, in case of a defeat in Poland, there are no troops at Archangel and in Lamschatka s by the beginning of next Uemmber. We are told that the people of Ergland are jea lous of any infringement of their Soveastotes prero gative ; we wish it were so ; for in that cue they would not tolerate, day after day, and week after week, the d:igusting and mischievous libels on his first and greatest pr:rogative, viz That he can do no wrong." To ;way any public VI. by the pe-smal opinion, sarflioo, or authotity, is to imply, that none bat the Km) is responsible for it. An inference, abhorrent to our Constitution, and alike dangerous to the Crown and to the People. lie who ir, defence of any measure alleges, that in censuring it we shall censure His hIAJtSTY. fur nishes the enemies of monarchy with a pretext for violating the sac' cd person of the Lino, and sup plies the enemies of freedom with a contrivance for ilielteting public servants from responsiSility, and public delinquents from inquiry and punisliment. We beg leave to refer oar readers to the speech of Lord HAWICILSUR T. at the opening of the late Parliament. We think his indignation at the disso• lotion of a Parliament more than four years old, a.sd after the regular close of a Setsion, vet; neither called for by the circumstances, nor justified by the arguments he employed ; but his Lordship only anticipated the present state of the country; and wnen his observations are applied to a dissolution its the midst of the first Session of a Parliament, which bad lasted about as many months as the other had years, his conclusions are irtetragable. and his indignation will. we trust, be felt by a large ma i bt it v ul Cul. itlyikivttirr I r NIGH COM' OF ,IPPIIdL. BLOCKADE. CA,' Or TOS PATRIO I CI. (Cunz'll4od lAbitS vomet..rday'• Payer ) Yesterday morning, t:ie Court met agitn, to pro ceed further in this important cause. 'There were present—the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Mont rose, Earls Camden, Bathurst, and Clancarty, Lords Hawkeibury ani .Hulgrave, anl Cie Master of the Rolls. Sir Joists Nicnotts, the King's Advocate, was heard at considerable kneel for the spun lents, in reply to Dr. LAWISMCI, fer 'the' appellents. The Learned Gentleman eanteneed, that every thing that had been done by the Respondents was agreeable to the law of natinne. He agreed with Ids Learned Fliend in some points, viz. that it was n y •to ascertain that there was a blockade ; and also to ascertain whet constituted a blockade but he denied that it was necessary to have such a number of ships to blockade a port. as in the ease of a besieged town. He obserree, that it had been decided in that Court, in the case of the Cohonolia, that a ship quitting let port, and bound for a blockaded p6rt, made her liable to confiscation. He contended, that it was not necessary that any number of ships should be fixed upon to constitute a blockade, but that the nurniser must in all cases depend upon the times and cir• cu instances. In the blockade, in this case, there was a large fleet, but it was not necessary that they should all be together ; they were dtstributed in raritme parts Li the case of Admiral Jervis and 1 General Grey's Proclamation for blockading the West India Islands, that wee not held good, be c tbe it was not accompanied by any Aft. The Government did not allow of such a blockade, with- Met using proper means to enforce*. The Judge of the Admiralty had very lenieratly settled it, that a cargo was not liable to confiscetinn ; when the master of the vessel was a UNTO earner. But that was not the present case i the cargo was consigned to the master, and he contended that the notification had been issued time enough for him to have known it before he had sailed from his own post. He there fore prayed their Lordships' affirmation. Foe Court was then cleared, sold their Leniehips dAliherated for upwards of an hour. On the rioted mission rat strangers, the loan CIiANCELLOR took a general view of all the circumstances of the case, and laid great stress upon the master having unli mited power to sell the cargo. His Lordship read a translation from the French of the copy of the .noßice of the blockade, sent by Lord Grenville, then Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, to the Danish and all the Foreign Ministers. ---He then took melee of the vessel beirg boarded off the Fly Island bytbe Presetpiee, and of the notice of the blockade being indorsed on her papers. &c. This his Lordship considered the best possesie evidence. His Lordship said, the Blard bad taken into consideration the qnestions and points stated by the Counsel on both sides, and were of opinion, that a blockade did exist at the time in question ; that the notification was duly given and properly acted upon ; that the notification was properly given to the vessel in quenidn, and that she was properly warned of i:; that the detention of 1.:.c al►ip was eddy jestifi .d a and that the cars, not being entrusted to the tn aster, merely as a carrier, was properly coral:ere !. The Register of the Admiralty then generally pronounced their Lordships' &Semotion. This cause tacked so much interest in Doctors' Com mons. that the Court was crowded with junior Pro fors, most of whom took notes. A great number of causes of a similar nature, which have been increasing for several years past, are us some degree settled by this decision. LAW INT LLIOANCE. COURT OF KING'S SL CH I Wastamistaa, Jens S. Do[ V. MANNINO. This cause came on a seems dtime before the Court, upon special argument. The question seas, whether a voluntary conveyance was avoidable under the btattite of Elizabeth 'I he cue was argued at great length, and with much ability and learoir,g, by Mr. Mae TTTTT on the part of the Mimi& for setting aside he deed; sad by Mr. Serjeant Surtuaass, in support of it. The latter Gentleman contending that voluntary conveyances were not consequently fraudulent, but might be taken as evidence of fraud. Tbe former advancing a contrary do&rine. The Court considering it a case of very co eider. able importance, as it involved mans authorities hitherto seed upon, deferred their fusel judgment fot a future day. ?MON O. FRANCIS. The ATteawst.Gcrsttat. applied for a role to set aside the nonsuit in this cue. The enit-n WAS brought upon a promissory note, and the words upon which the question arose were, 66 promi,e to pay, /lc. on account of subscription received for my Principles of Gtography." At the trial these words were held not good, the declaration stating that he made this promise to pay '• tot value re ceived." The allegation was, that he plomised to pay so much money for value received. It was not necessary, the Learned Counsel osserved, to set out this particularly, only generally. the promise leis so pay for a thing of value, and the question was, whether that was sufficient to satisfy the allegation in the :teclar.ition • Lord Ecassnolocom said. he recolle.led a case at Guildhall, where an affion was brought for the copy-right of a book, and it turned out. upon the evidence, that in fak't the book was worth nothing ; the calculations it coot lined were found so erro neous, it could not he made use of. " This case," said his Lordship, " may be like many (new sub scription cuts, where names are frequently put down, but very little value received; however, fake a Rule to spew cause." CITY OF NORWICH. Mr. lVitsow moved for a (tale to show cause, why an Information, in the nature of a ea* should not be granted, requ'ring Mr. Samuel Mitchell to sew by what au:Luray he claimed tr. nerds. the office of one of the Common Council of the City of Norwich.
