OBSERVATIONS on a Bill now b e f ore P ar li ament, entitu l e4 "A Bill to prevent occasional Freeholders from voting in the " elections of Members to serve in Parliament, fur Boroughs " in England and Wales." The professed intention and obvious design of this Bill is to prevent he abuses . which at present prevail in those boroughs and towns where the right of Voting is in freeholders either re. scant or not, and where for the purposes of an election new free holders are created upto, and sometimes after, the issuing of the writs for such election.—lt would be a waste of time and la: bour to shew that such practices do exist and have long . existed. Their prevalence is proved by numerous instances, ancient and modern, recorded in the Journals of the /louse ; and the perso nal knowledge and information of every Member must furnish satisfactory , testimony, to their minds without the statement of particular facts, or recurrence to recent instances. It is not the object of this Bill to intiiidubi any innovation in principle, to Invalidate any charter or,preseription, or todestroy any established right. It maks no attempt at general reform, or the subversion of any known or established franchise, but has for its aim and end the simple and satisfactory design of making.the.rule of election more perfect, and more consonant to general principle, by removing one dangerous and invidious anotindy, which enables the proprietors of freeholds in certain parts of England to create voters for occasional purposes, by :means which hive at all times been declared to lie Contrary to law ; and have been by repeated Acts of Parliament, guarded against with all the vigilance of the legislature and all the pow& of the law. It proposes to effect this beneficial object by requiring the voters in towns and boroughs to take an oath, previous to their voting, similar in every respect to that imposed by the 18 flea. 11. c. 18. s. 1., and 19 Geo. 11. c. 28. s. 1. on electors of Members of Parliament for counties, and for cities and towns which are counties of themselves, except that the oath prescribed by the present, Bill does not specify the value of the freehold, and consequently , THE itioirr Ok' vorixa in j . the boroughs and towns to which this Bill applies will REMAIN UNCHANGED AND UNALTERED. Upon principle, nothhig could be more absurd than to state that in a place, where by charter or by custom certain persons qualified in a prescribed manner are entitled to select an indi. victual to represent the community in the House of Commons, some person or persons, possessing a large share of that which constitutes the qualification, may by a mere colourable or pre. tended distribution of it among friends or dependants, taken for the purpose without any beneficial interest or tide whatever, over-rule and destroy the will and franchise of others, who have a real, permanent, and incontestable interest and pos. session; and who, by every rule oflaw, of justice, and of common sense, ought to return the representative. It is not more un. just, nor more destructive of the principles of the constitution, to propose that numbers, without regard to property, shall re turn the members to Parliament, than that property shall be so used as, by creating fictitious or occasional numbers, to annul the tights of those, who, although duly qualified to vote, have not such a redundant property as will enable them at a given moment to qualify great numbers, or such an influence as, if they should qualify them, would make them certain that such persons would conform to their wishes. If the only advantage to be.gainetl by the present Bill were the establishment of an uniform system, and the placing of all rights on an equal footing, such an advantage is of very high importance, especially In a community where all men reason on their rights, and where every departure from the general system, or the declared law, is viewed as an attempt to corn. mit some wrong, or to invade the liberties and rights of the subject. But in the present case the evils are not imaginary, no* the wrongs speculative. lt Is known th a t the malting of occasional andf raudulent votes to suppo r t a p art i cu l ar person, or to answer a resent purpose, has b een th e source o f muc h rea l injustice ; and , if it has not been, in all particulars, repressed by Parliament, it has not been because the law was unknown or not sufficiently declared, but because in, all attempts at correct ing abuses or establishing system; it has been found, that the earliest attempts were defective, and that the first enactments required frequent alteration s and additions before the views of . the Legislature could be fully aeck»uilisbeti. Before the Grenville Aet had fixed the practice of Parlia. ment on contested elections on the basis of purity and correct. ness„ and even before the Revolution had establialied the gene- , ral principles of Representation, the law was strongly and dearly expressed against the making of occasional votes in any place, and under any form, for the purpose of giving ascendancy to any individual or party in elections, whether it were of 'Mem her of Parliament or to any situation of credit and trust. Con. sequently, the:various enactments for the prevention of fraud and occasionality, which passed from the Revolution to our own times, were never considered as privations or undue restrictions, but merely as the carts of wisdoin and integrity, matured by experience, to ring back the system to the state of purity in winch the law had placed it, and In which alone it ceuld be contemplated with pleasure and respect. In many cases connected with the right oteoting, ors all sub- , jects, the opinion of the Legislature has beefs most decisively expressed. It has been so in all the statutes already alluded to; in that which regulated the votet in the General Centro of the East India Company, wh ere net only en ;Additional quail& cation in value of stock, but a certain term cif Possession, was required ; acid even in many maters of leas apparent import s ance. With respect to the making of occasional votes for towns and boroughs, for the purposes of Parliamentary elections, the law was most clearly and. ably expressed before the Revolution by the then Chief Justice, Sir }rands Pernbertosi, in a case, the report of Which was drawn- tip by the great Lord Somers, and was published in We collection of Tract* which bears his name. * ThiS tinS an action brought by Denzill Onslow, Esq. against itapley, the returning officer of the borough of Basle mere for it (MSC retuni. It was t r i e d at the litingston Assizes, in J uly, Mil. Among the facts proved on the part of the plaintiff; it appeared 011ie of the voters were net real burgai,ir tenants, and that if any conveyances had Leen made to them of burgage lands, they were lately made, and s tranilnlently con= trived to make voles against an election. 'rvio had been made after the testa of the Parliament writ, and three others to answer an election purpose five years before. In the nuking of these qualifications, ecieral Instances o f gross co n tr i vance were theivn, and the effect was aided, by proving that ten or twelVe such conveyances had been made rot the purposes of a former election, by the patran of the borough, and had been given up to him after the election Was over. the imptession on the COurt :which it was so evidence s l owel calculated to to produce, the recorde of the Borough,' who was of counsel for the defendant, h a d the imprudence to justify the proceedings, and to say, It was part of the constitu tion of our government to do so. "At this," says the learned reporter, " the Court seemed very angry, and wondered that any one, especially of the gown, should say s o t and said, Do you think our Government has no better ceastitatio4 ?" wi t h which the gentleman riot being - Satisfied, he Wei told by the Court, " he deserved to be taken notice of for saying so, and that he seemed to hare advised the thing done."'respecting the making of fictitious votes at former elections , the patron of the Borough attempted to say something in the . tvay of excuse, but the. Court tohl bin), " It was too tad to be crewed." Under the direction of the learned Judge, a verdict was given' for the Plaintiff** and In the course of the evidence, the Court haring observed one indiri. dual to be so active and boat' in the cause as to leave no doubt of his being an instrument in the illegal transactions which were disclosed, ecunpelled him to give sureties to appear in the following term, to answer to an in fokmation for a misderneanotir, and bound over, Mr. On s low to prosccure hhn. This ease the learned reporter justly entitles " a memorable case." During the whole trial, be says, the cause was managed w i t h great care and circumspection, the Court declaring it was of great weight ; as great as any that ever came there to be tried..,-. The Court," h e a dd s , "'had great reason to sliew•an ex traordinary abhorren c y ; such .practices, for that mischief is grown almost general, anti to rectili and punish which abuses the noitte - of .Commons in . every, , Parllament are compelled to pass more than half their time,' —" But because, he con tinues, " here is by statute law no particular Provision made against such practices, many by sordid watts have endeavour ed to perplex elections and debauch Parliaments, and think themselves not punishable for it. This, case anti tlie reason of it will better inform them, that by the rule of the common law an offence of this nature is punishable; for will an man think that small frauds, cheats, and practices should undergo a cen sure in the ordinary Courts of Justice,'and notsucti great vio lations or trial) and horiemy in matters of the greatest moment ?" Such were the deelarations of the law, and the reflections arising - trapt then, at a period *when the rule of th e C onst i tu . was not perfectly flied, and when the intitipentience of the judgett watt not secured by Making them immoveable while * In the first edition in Vol. I. p.,17.1; in tho 11414 Z77 --- , 0 Valtet Seott, in Vol. VI 1L Tit). 0 they should conduct themselves properly. Sind that period, none of the doctrines thus laid down and promulgated . have been over-ruled, or even controverted in debate but id prae. tice they arc set at runt& at every election. The difficulties and disadvantages under which a plaintiff' or prosecutor must lie who should institute a suit for any Of these mal-pritetices, deter them from going into courts ; while the patrons of boroughs, unawed by declarations which impunity teaches them t 9 disregard, and encouraged perhaps by the accidental odds sion of the partkular right of voting pointed at in the . jiresent. Bill, have gone on violating the law, and deriding its pro hibitions. The present fill, therefore, _is framed for the purpose of giv ing effect to the law as declared, not by Sir Francis Pemberton alone, but by many other great men on the Bench, and in and out of Parliament, since his time;—for the purpose of bringing the yractice of the law of elections to that state of Uni formity in which all reasoning men delight, and in which alone true justice can be found and for the purpose of repressing abuses too notorious to be denied, and too gross to be de fended. This Bill Is not intended td extend to Bur rage Tenure 80. roughs, but is liinitted to Freehold Boroughs, tom a deft. renes to the opinion of many respe c tabl e individuals. EASTER.

Amid the vicissitudes of human life, it is pleasing to con- template the revival of an ancient family in the per son of a respected Prelate, the friend and instiurtor of the immortal Pitt. The family were connected by marriage with the Stetrarts, Earls of Bothwell, hereditary High Sheriffs oilladdingtonshire, on which account the service took place in that county.

NEWSPAPER BOUNCERS: The Morning Chronicle, said one day last week, " that Count de Lao AnDE, fix-Ambassador of France at the Courtof Atadrid, inui arrived in liantion for the purpose of preventing the departure of certain refugee French officers from the ports of this country for Spain. "—We can positirely affirm, that there is no truth whatever in the above statement. The Nero 7'itner of last Week said, that 6 . Gen. huat A t 1.019, ErAilide-de-Cany of Buonaparte, was to littOe had`a. command in the army of the Pyrenees, but that he had been 4ubsequently rejected, because he had been one of the 31ilitary Judges of the Duke d'ExcittElN." This is not true. We know that Getz.

EARTHQUAKE IN CHILE. 11t1111:11 We have seen a blovernment Gazette of Chile, published at Santiago on the 27th of November, Which contains an account of this dreadful calamity. A dispatch of the Supreme Director, who happened to be at Valparaiso at the time of the earthquake, is dated at t en at night on the 211th of November, and is addressed to the Mini. stern, of whom he asks, a report respecting the state of the ca. .He says, that on the preceding night, at 15 minutes be fore 11 o'clock, Valparaiso had received so severe a shock, that in two or three minutes all the buildings were either consider. ably damaged or thrown down ; the sea receded and MI more than 12 feet ; the . movement of the earth, althotigh week, did not tease for an instant till half-past font in the morning, since. when shocks more, or len strong were felt every five or seven minutes. The inhabitants had retired to the heights, where they had encamped on the 20th. Fifteen or twenty individuals / being mostly 'Adieu,. women, and children, were known to have perished in the ruins; it was, however, difficult, on ac. count of' the confusion, to ascertain the number of the victims, which it was aared would be found to be much larger. Na public officer nor person of note had perished, The reply of the Ministers is dated Santiago, 22d November, After congratulating the Supreme Director on his personal safety, the report proceeds to state, that the capital had not ex.' perieneed the same terrible catastrophe which had ruined Valparaiso. On the 19th November, at ten minutes before eleven o'clock at night, after having for three or four hours previously obsere, ed a law heat and an extreme rarefaction of the air, a horrible noise announced, and by a few secoads preceded, an earth. quake such as had not been experienced m Chile since MO ; its explosion sheweel itself by two strong shticks, whieh.laited two minutes and a half or three minutes ; the latter, stronger than the first, was only of about twenty . seconds. It was et first thought that the whole city was destroyed • the consternation was general, but tattoo** ne lives were lost, and only. a 'few persons were hurt by failing fragments or tiles. The action of the earthquake was of the trembling description, and its direc. from to S.W. Some walls of the churches of La Merced, San Augustin, San Francisco, ttc., hive fallen down ; the Mint, the interior of the Cathedral, the Directorial Palace, the steeples of the Treasury, and of the prison, are also damaged / and in some places threaten to come down. The walls of houses which were not verygood are much &winged. The earth wad almost constantly in motion, though slight and only perceptible by the pendulum ; but at times there were smart and sharp shocks. • On the 20th, at 3h. Bm. in the morning, there was a alight shock, without any sensible noise : at 3h. 42m., a meteor ran in the same direction as the earthquake, from N.B. to S.W., in the form of a large train of tire, which for about 4 seconds, produced a sort of strong twilight. it is reported, that various other small meteors Were seen toward the. Cordillera. At 24in. another slight shock, preceded by considerable noise.— Shocks succeeded each other rapidly, and increased the conster nation, especially amongst women most families have atom-, Boned the city and retired to the neighbouripg country-houses the lower classes are encamped in the public squares, the dikes, and aqueducts. On the 21st; at 4h. 25m. in the morning, anti at 1 lb. Syr. other slight shocks. Several families came to town to spend the day in their houses, with an intention to return to the country And to sleep there. The moon was full at Oh. 30m. p. m. • This day, at 4h. 20in. in the morning,, and fth. and tib. 22m. three smart, thocits-; they continue to this hour, seven o'clock in the afternoon; but some of' thern almost impercepti ble.
