Every llritish sohject has an undoubted right to tore ar!d to express his sentiments s , o th e situati on of iris contort?, and the conduct -of those who m,itage her affairs. But no one has a right, tender the Rag of defiance, to meet and promulgate Fentimen's and resolutions con trary to the wise Laws and the excellent Constitu tion under which we live, and, in place of bringing forward grieva,ces that can be redressed, demand total sultverziimt oP that Constitution, declaring that, it their demand is not complied with, they 't ill attain their objt..rt by torce. None have, or ought to have such - - a liberty as this ; and under on other Government on earth could such pro ceedings and such Oaring insults have Ween tole rated or continued so long. Who were the Leaders that moved the Man chester Meeting, and now stimulate this nation to rebellion ? To whom does the poonlace ,oily pay.ohedienec and tespect ? Hunt ! Who sat he- Side Cathie during his trial, assisted him in hi s blasphemous detente, and taught him to i os olr a British Judge ?' Hunt ! frown a hand, or ilifii“mied told directed by such an untoin cipled man, ran any thhtg but injustice, violence, and mi•chief flow' Does your Gtace conceive that we hate no Mints or Carliles in Scotland ? Jr is a lamentable fact, that the Radical Leaders in this city, men and women, have nightly meetings in their housea„ where the blasphemy and infidelity of Paine and Carlile are read, inculcated, solinired—believed ! Neel your Grace wonder, that amongst its hu man l aws are d el id e d, whets tile laws of Ileaven are denied ! h it slat prising that there should he treason against the throne, when there is r, hel lion against God ! Can w e wonder that wicked men march is ith hostile intentions against th e Laces and justice of their country, when we per ceive them rushing headlong against the Phick linsses 'o' the Almighty's buckler--denyittg his tight to rein—provoking eternal justice—and defying the Omnipotent arm ! my Lord Duke, is it came to this, that the nation who delivered Europe—which tore the diadem from the head, and the sceptre froth the band, of the strongest and the fiercest tyranny that ever lot ded it over the world—a nation whose name and power is felt and revered to the uttetmost coulters of the earth ; that such "a 114- tion ia all her provinces and in all her cities, should submt to be dictated to by a set of tur bulent wretches, and quietly hear to hear Hunt of Thistlewood issuing their manifestoes, declar ing the poblic peace and trauquillity dependent on their nod ? Is it rosible, iu n populous coun ty, over which your Grace is Lord Lieutenant, that our peace, our property, and safety depends upon a billet from a Hoot, although be be distant 400 miles ? Yet so it is. For shame, my Lord Duke ; is oar nobility and our popolation be tome so r,iir,e and so degraded as to suffer them selves in this way to be browbeaten, insulted, and thrcater ed. Can the descendant of a Douglas meekly submit to Such a humiliation as this ? Thesedaring demagogues are not only to have a Coll3titillion corresponding to limeir un settled ideas, butt all that has beets ')note nod es oars is to be reversed under theirs. The national faith is to be violated—the national creditor robbed of his property. Let your Grace look to this. The sante hand that blots out a fraction of the national debt natty—nay, will partition your estate. Injustice once begun, must become " the order of the day." and cannot be checked till, through prescription and blood, every vestige of property changes masters. Thousands engaged in plans of Universal Suffrage may at present have Ti') such views. But embarked, they cannot turn back. They will be led to perpetrate, with exul tation, deeds, the bare mention of which would at present fill them with time deepest horror.— Still they must go on. Their poiver cannot stop the hurricane in its course. No ! they might as well attempt to recal the days that are past, or collect the scattered cloods.of yesterday. The question at present is not, whether Whigs are to get in and the Tories toile turned out ; but, it the shark, Universal Suffrage, is to be allowed to devour them all. This is the point at issue, however Party may view it ; and it is fit your Grace should know, that there is a populatiou in this country—ha this county—who will not tamely see their lives mid properties placed in jeopardy, anti their dearest interests sacrificed to forward the political views of any Flirty whatever. For'thirty years disappointed men and radical revolutionists have (in no instance more than what regards time late events at Manchester, through an unbridled, unprincipled, and licentious press) vi lified and defamed every person and authority em ployed to conduct the affairs of, this cointtry.— The.ir motives, actions, and measures were uni formly represented wrong and corrupt. Our laws were asserted to he partial, and our Judges tools of tyrannic. Ministers, The People have been taught that they owed ,!either respect, regard, nor submission to any constituted authority.— The consequences are such as we must all deplore They are such as now threaten to overwhelm all that is venerable in one common ruin. The aspect of the times are indeed appalling. The flanges which threaten this country are greater than fonr•fittlts of her population believe. These exceed in magnitude every id ea th a t ev en those .who are accelerating the evils can form.— The social chain is broken, the links are scattered abroad, and it must be a bold and a firm hand who can collect and Unite them. As first in authority, rank, and property in this county—a prince among the people —your Grace mn3t, in the hour of danger, give a tone to their spirit and their proceedings, mid an impulse to the resolutions and courage of the loyal and the brave. Commercial distress is deep. It will be deeper. The causes of this amongst all nations are beyond the power of any government to remove or con trol. My Lord Duke, it is not the labourer alone who feels distress. Banks above the labouring feel equally severely. Yet, for this, are they to prove traitors to their country ? The winter will bring keener distress to all. The poor ought to be and will be relieved. But to get this done, the innocent must be separated from the guilty. Give loyalty a rallying point, and this desirable object is attained. The realty distressed a suf . , Erring severely, but in silence and with ,paiienee. It is not want altogether which ocea:ions the , langeta that et present menace this C ! it is chiefly occasioned by men conste,oly employed, and who are earning from 30s. to W. per week. r i.'hese lead, mislead, and are misled. Several of thei r fl ags an d caps o f liberty cost nine and ten guineas each ! This shows no poverty. , — This ought to he known. This ought to be re pressed. Such proceedings check the springs of charity, and dry up the fountains of employment. It is an alarming fact,• that the peaceable and industrious dare not follow their lawful pursuits. They are forced to conceal kheir feelings or join the ranks of disorder. Loyalty to the Sovereign and obedience to the laws are become crimes.— The shopkeeper dares not demand what is due to him ; Officers of the Revenue are boldly told, that a few ‘verki will relieve all of Government burdens ; Justices are told to their face, that to Universal Suffrage. its votaries ate ready to march to the block. The character of our Com:- Hymen is changed. The female chara'cter is al [et and debased ; wi'h fury in their fates, they it();:nt the hustings to place caps of liberty on the seads of men, intending to pierce their country to lie heart ; mothers have sworn to nurture their children in demoralizing pliticiples. Serb , ion and Treason only thrive; principles arc planed and rooted in the mitols of a great ma , s of our pop:I- I:scion-, which will take half a century to eradi cate, and which for yea's (if not kept by force from tebellior.) will leave this one,. happy Coun try in a fever, of anxiety and alarm. Religion, and the teachers or, elieion, are parti cularly denounced. The contemplated revolution caouot be accomplished, n idiom teat ittg its pre:- cepts and consolations Irons the to o nna') heart, For this purpose . , a !maple press renders the most efficient aid. It you want a revolution, skin! Nlirabeati, you must begin by destroying religion. As long as there is relieion, there will he royalty, sail a member of the French Convention. "fhey abolished religion. We know the consegoences ; the throne fell with the altar ! Terrors, destruc tion, and death, overspread, and must overspread, every such frantic nation. The dangers o f th e coun t ry a re i ncrease d an d increasing. Th'. Radicals will oppose force to force. They are prepared for and expect it. Ra dical books of remembrance are kept, ati:l rank and authority are denounced—this man for pro. perty—that man for loyalty—are inscribed in the tearful roll. Various weap.ins of destruction and arms are made—are bought—are collected and prepared for the day of battle and of war. The insignia of rebellion is displayed. The (I . i-colour flag, that meteor denoting change and ruin— blood and murder—carried by at med turn, parades our streets.• It is 'minded, my .Lora! Duke, but we cannot tell how or when it may be folded up. Even children at our doors and infants at our fire- siles proclaim share is danger, because the "Radi cals have got guns and swords." Are we to 1.. el flf) anxiety on die occasion, r treat all these omi nous appearances as a dream? As the Representative of a Sovereign —the fa ther of his people—we approach your Grace to point out our dangers. Bearing his commission, suffer not his grey hairs to fall with deeper sor row into the grave. Rouse yourself, my Lord Duke, at the calls of a 4istraeted country. Re pel the attempts of treason.—Roll buck the tor rent of revolution—free our minds grom'alarm—. our dwellings from. plunder—our ; cities from blood ; or, if it is too late to stop th,;r progrr ss , at few give us an opportunity, uinkr the.baone►l of loyalty, to fall like brave men, and not be butchered like dogs. Alive to the interests of my country, I feel the dangers which assail her. These alone employ my mind and guide n►y pen. The organ of no party—the 'dependent of none—l have communi cated my sentiments with freedom, but I hope with respect ; and with this I remain, &c. Glasgow, Nov. 5, 1615). A BRITISH SUBJECT. The following passages of a letter wri•ten by GAaRIEL HARVkIi to SPENSER, the Poet (under the assumed name of " JMNIERITO,..) are a close commentary on our clays " I know not by what chance these three half-penny fellows came into my mind—all in quisitive after news—new laws, new offices, and some after new elements, some after new Hea vens and Hells too ; castles built in the air ; much ado and little help ; every one highly in his °iv!) favour ; the gospel taught, not learnt ; nothing good but by imputatioo ; the ceremonial law, in 'word abrogated judicial, in effect disan nullcd ; the moral abandoned ; the lights, the lights in every man's lips, but mark their eyes, and you will say, they are rather like owls, than eagles. As of old books, so of ancient virtue, honesty, fidelity, equity, new abridgments ; every day spawns new opinions ; heresy in divinity, philosophy, ‘ in humanity, in manners. Mr. Cartwright quite forgotten—(prophetic, it is to he hoped)—old men and Counsellors amongst children ; children amongst Counsellors and old men. Every younker speaks its politic as Bishop Gardiner or Dr. Illatson, (hodie Dr. Watson ;) as if everyman, now-a-dayS, having - the framing of his own horoscope, was born 'in decimo call domietho,' and had all the wit, wisdom, and wor ship at command. David, Ulysses, and Solon feigned themselves fools and madmen ; our fools and madmen feign themselves Davids, Ulysses, and Solons. It is a pity 'fair weather should do any hurt ; but I know what peace and quielneis have done with some melancholy picksttaws.—Will you needs have My testimonial of ---'s behaviour busy and dizzy head, a brazen forehead, a leaden brain, a wooden wit, a copper face, a stony breast, a factious and elvish heait, a founder of novelties, a confounder of his own and his friends' good gills ;—an after noon mallwarna, (still prophetic,) a right juggler; as full of sleights, wiles, : fetches, casts of legerde main, odd shifts, awl knavish practices, as his skits can hold." A Meeting of a number of the inhuhitants of Si. James's Parish took place yesterday evening, when several Resolutions of the ordinary kind upon the subject of the Manchester transactions Were passed, and an Address to the REULINT agreed to. FOR THE SUN. KENT I: LET.TION. The (Old) Times, or self slyled Leading Journal of Europe, which has now become as notorious for its misrepresentations as it has fur its hostility , to every measure of Goverurnetu, in rejorting•[lle proceedings at the Kent Election yesterday, - has thought proper ►o state, " that it was intended to have introduced a Loyal Declaration relative to the Proceedings at Manchester, but that those who had it in contemplation were intimidated from so doing, by the strong muster of the opponents to such a measure." Now, Sir, a more ridiculous or absurd idea could not have been imagined than this ; for I am certain that no such proceeding was ever thought of, and if a eeclaration of that na ture had been brought forward, the Radicals would certainly have been beat al hollow ; tor where there was one of them, there was te ir true f,ie►►ds to the Constitution. Although the weather was particularly unfavourable, yet I be lieve a more loyal Meeting sTat never assembled on that Heath, and it WAS generally remarked that the Shire- House was never remembered to have been attended by so tri3tly PIRST•RATE HMI OPU LENT CHARACTERS of the County as were present I am, &c. nn 1113 t day.

His MAJBSTr.--A report, arising, we hope, from a paragraph in a Morning Paper, prevailed this day, stating that an event which must be de plored even under the present slate of our be loved Sovereign, had taken place, an event tb.4l, however it might be a relief to himself, would nevertheless be a subject of affliction to his af fectionate People. We received this mottling the Paris Papers of Tuesday last. The following are extracts : PARIS, Nov. 16.—The King transacted busi• Hess yesterday with the Marquess Dessolles, and received Ladies in the evening. The Archbishop of Rotten, the Bishops of Trevaux, Anton, and Poitiers, took leave of his Majesty setting out for their respective Sees. " It is worthy of remark, that the Connt De cazes appeared only for an instant on Sunday at the reception by Monsieur and the Duke d'An gouleme. The audience which he had of the Icing was also very short.—(Gazetie de France.) " It is said that the Public Ministry have com menced proceedings against several Writers in La Minerve and the Constitutionnel, wh,, are . charged with exciting apprehensions respecting the Stability of the property called National, by publishing statements that this property will be endangered by a change of Ministry, which de pends on the constitutional exercise of the King's prerogative.—(lbia) • " The case of Itil.
