io a THE SU-N. S .nt----1 know not 'whether the Doctiment Wilk]) /4 extracted from Sunday's British Monitor, be or be not authentic ; and in one point of view its authenticity is the least part of its importance: That the misfortunes of the late French Ite bellic,m, and the danger which that accursed event Still threatens, are to be ascribed to the exercise of English Liberty, I will not urge ; but assured 1y they Originated from and continued by its abuse. It stay be said indeed, that the French Revak li°ll owed its origin to the American, which we Innst acknowledge owed its success to its factious allaintenance in England, and even in her Senate. W hat was right iu America, could not be wrlong iii trance ; and now, what was right in France, cannot he wrong in New Sp4in. I may not go the length of censuring our liberty of 'P 'eveh and pen, but I may wish it were pri vilegtd in our own concerns only. With these, I at ° far from expressing any wish of Continental interf erence ; though 1 am'not exactly prepared t° 9a e 6 tion th e iostiee of the complaint, should forei g n States, or the crowned tribunal with general Peace is deposited, require our Internal wischiet to he kirt within our own Shores, and dc wand that neither our voices, niir our pens, nor our swords, be any longer exercis ed with external liberty. I look with sh,,„, upon our national charac ter, as delineatud in this " Document." Mlle' r4nt Incendiar ies—mercenary soldiers—factions orators._-turbulent mobs—advocates of treason at home --supporters Of insurrection abroad— present a portraiture which I would gladly deny, but am compelled to acknowledge. Licentious ness, reaching an height too perilous even for my, sto p s my pen. I will not trust myself with the coati:hied subject. That .extreme liberty, whereof the " Docu, Illent" complains, may be Constitutional. For aught I know, the Constitution may defend even its abuse. It is a problem, not yet solved by hu- In" ingenuity, how to preserve freedom in a state of rational inviolability, without allowing its perversion. With the solution I have no pre sent concern. The question, however, is not, whether all this l iberty is our internal right, but whether it is 44 r external p r i v il ege . W e may use it p er h a p s fa r our own advantage, or for our own injury; b t, if itt its very nature it is such as most travel t 'Yotul ourselves into other States, and in effect 'Perat e upon thern;—a most serious consideration th en arises. First, whether we have a right to set upon it abroad, and to export its agency, or "en i,ts influence. Next, whether we have a ri glit, as Members of the collective - family, to use it at home, strictly at home, its example transgresses our own boundaries. /"oreign States will not investigate the origin of inisellief.—Th e y will think sufficient to see 414 1 feel it. It may be a part of our Constitution ; MaY be a gradual defect, crept into its sub %lance, and interwoven with its'existence ; it may 11 " he extracted, without damaging, or even ‘vithout destroying the whole.—No matter to %elide it compromises their security.—We 1 "Y insist that this licence is "sound """litY'" " c l " rational liberty."-1 only hope, that its discussion will never occur among our brother °ve reigoties of the Continent,—Should it ap- Pear, that oar support of foreign insurgency, or llllontestic sedition, endangers the tranquillity of S tat , s, they will require the means of e 11Pressi ng that support ; —C onst i tut i ona lly. if so chose or can.—but, at all events, of sup - Ilre3s iug it any how, FLINT.

SHEERNEss.—A subscription has been entered '" 1 0 at this place for the purpose of sopplyiug the di,tiessed inhabitants with coals, &c. It is PTholii zed by the Honourable Comittissioner Mrs, lio•YLa., and all the principal persons re tiding dare. THE 'fiIEATIZES. Drzuftv-LANE.--The Tiatzedy of Co/id/a/Ms was revived at this 'Theatre last :;i4ht, and Mr. KEAN, for the first time, assumed the hero of the T!te character was so admirably performed by Air. KENBLE, who - se talents, person, and demeanour ,‘ er e so well calculated !o embody it in such a manner as holy to gratify the imagination, that 'Mr. KEAN, therefore, tame forward under some com parative disadvantage, but the spirit and energy which mark his performances in general produced a strong, tlfect, and excited abundant applause. The • ragedy has been judiciously restored mole to• trawls the original, and was al metier brought forward with such grandeur in the costume, and such general merit itt the acting, as to premise a prosperous revival. COVRNT-GARDRN.—A new mnsical drama, en titled The Antiquary, taken from the Novel of that name, which has become so popular as to render any detail of the Wile whoily unnecessary, since the piece in v,ecteral adheres strictly to the original work, was brought forward last night at this Theatre. ThiM Dritn4 is ascribed to the comhined efforts of Mr. Tuttav and Mr. PococK, to both of whom the Public are indebted for other pieces derived from the series of Novels which hate excited so much attention, and are generally atttiboted to the fertile pen of Mr. WALTER SCOTT. It is liberal in the Pro prietors of this Theatre thus to have appropriated the first represer.ta;ion of the piece to the objects of the laudable 11 , : , tittition for the !chief of the Honseless Poor. As the audience at tended front nobler motives than a mere desire of amusement, all critical severity would, do doubt, have been avoided on so bene volent an occasion, even it the intrinsic merits of the Piece had not entitled it to approbation and support. Immediately on the at rival of the dispatches from Sidmont h, announcing the death of his Royal Highness the Duke of KENT, the presence of Mr. PLANTA was required at Carlton-house, and an express was sent off instantly to Lord CASTLEREAGH, al Lord SUFFIELD'S seat in Nor folk. ills Lordship and the Viscounte,s were expected at their house in St. James's-square last night. COALS.—We are informed that a vessel, which had the appearance of being coal laden, was seen stranded up the Humber on Friday mot ning, and, notwithstanding it blew a gale of wind at the time (such is the desire of gain), a boat was im mediately procured by an adventurous speculator, who, tearless of wind and weather, proceeded on his cruise, which terminated rather unluckily. —His intention was to purchase , the cargo at as cheap a rate as possible, and then to tax his townsmen with immoderate profi•s. However, Old Boreas roaring louder and louder, the gen tleman's scheme proved abortive; he was com pelled to return, and pay handsomely for his tem pestuous excursion. —(Hull Packet, Jan 24.) A SAVING ON COALS.--Take the ashes and small cinders which fall from the fire, and sa turate or fill them very well with water, till they are like the mortar used by bricklayers : that be ing done, pot them on the back of your fire. when those who have not made the experiment will be surprised to find what a pleasant tire thry will make, in conjunction with coals, and will answer any common purpose. Sllieweec - K.—Ballantrae, Jan. 19 —A fine ves sel of 87 ions register, schooner rigged, namfd the Merton•koill of Workington (in ballast) WIL LIAM PAT R ICKSONStet, was this morning, about 2 o'clock, driven on a low flat rock in the back port of Ballantrae, about 200 yards north of the small harbour, but happily nes lives were lost. She sailed from Belfast to Ayr on Monday last, in the expectation of getting a freight, but the wind o n Tuesday being quite a-brad, she at last made for Loch-ryan, and the morning being so eery dark, and thy► snow drifting furiously, she got upon the rock, before any danger was apprehended, and in a short time had five feet water in the hold ; at daylight she was found to have her back broken, awl her rudder torn off, and considering the season of the year, and her present situation, there is little hope to be entertained of getting her off. The fishermen of Ballantrae generously gave their assistance, and are employed in snip ping her, and getting the tackling ashote; and Mr. DavM Ferguson, of the Customs here, has kindly undertaken the superintendence of what ever may be saved for behoof of the owners. We hear there is no insurance effected on her. The following is an account of a boy at sea in a boat, for five days, without food :—" The Amanthea, Mr. THOMAS lloweLL, Master, Hr. rived at Genoa on the 4th instant. On the 16!ir ultimo, when about 12 leagues W. S. W. from Lisbon, too k up a boat, in which was a boy, named James Stephenson, in a very distressed condition, who stated, that on the I lilt tilt, he WRI going on hoard the ship Benson, of South Shields, Jonta FAWCETT, Master, then lying in the Tagus, in company with the Master, who fell overboard, and that the boat was driven to sea. When he was taken up be had not had any thing to eat for fire da'ys, and it was some time betore he recovered from his exhausted state." Extract of a private letter from Bristol, dated Jan. 24 :—" The Picton, for Barbadoes, belong ing to Messrs. IVAsoN, NOOD, and Co. of this port, which sailed hence last Saturday morning, with 14 valuable cargo, was totally lost off Ilfra combe in the storm of that evening. The Cook and a boy were drowned ; the Captain and the rest of the crew are sate. There was only one passenger (a lady), who is also safe."

"fis not in treasures of her Indian mines ; Nor that her ftig, by Neptune's self unfurl' d, Wafts her proud commerce o'er the admiring wotld ; 'Tis not that, thundering o'er the fields of war, Bellona like, she drives herconiviering cal - ; 'Tis not that Arts and Science o'er her isle Diffuse the lustre of their radiant smile; Nor that the Mire ilium the rolls of fame Inscribes a Milton's and a Shakspeare's name. No, sill that salimr, wealth, and genius boast, In one bright glory of her reign is lost : Fur what are valour, genius, wealth and fame, The victor's laurel, or the poet's name, Or all on Glory's record e'er imprest, To the bright sunshine of the feeling breast. 0! blest Benevolence ! when nrg'd by thee To healing acts of heaven-born charity Britaimia I yes—tho' tis thy splendid boast To have seen thy banner wave on every coast,— Thro' the four quarters of the world to have heard Thy accents echo'd, and thy power rever'd : On Glory's plain tho' high thy trophies rise In pyramidal triumph to the skies, Yet Heaven's own trumpet shall thro"rime proclaim Thy social virtues brighter than thy fame, This the fair field in which, almost divine, Thy honour, name, and praise unrival'd shine. Is there a sufferance in this world of woe Disease inflicts ar helpless man can know, For which thy healing band and fostering care Has not been prompt the balsam to I.repare? Turn where we will, the rising domes we see And open door's of sacred Charity ! The ag'd, the lame, the speechless and the blind, Youth, strength, sight, voice, in thee protection find ! Disease and Want the pallid look forego, And, from thy healing bounty, learn to Glow. When (lad in storms, the. Giants of the Frost Condense the waves and stride fronccoast to coast. O'er realms aghast the darkening temptst rull, And bring the Nations nearer to the Pole, — While shivering want and houseless nakedness Shrink from the blast in ozonised distress, Direct to Heaven the half congealing eye, And only ask the direful boon—to die; 'Tis thine to mitigate the inclement rage, And dark desp•air's exerutiate pang assuage, The sheltering dome, the cheering hearth provide, An bid the agonies of want subside. Oh ! still the glories of this race pursue, And keep the brightest goal of heaven in view! Let Ocean's Queen the Ocean's wealth dispense In Charity's divine munificence; To houseless want her sheltering care impart, And clasp the social virtues to the heart. And tho' those social virtues now must claim One patron less among the first in name, Let mourning myriads mingle with the tear Which strong emotion sheds upon his bier The generous aim to emulate his worth, Whose ample soul gave lustre to his birth, And wade him first—divine Philanthropy! In every, patriot toil devis'd by thee. REGISTER OF FASHION. FASHIONABLE MOVEMENTS. The Duke and Duchess of Argyle arc arrived at their seat, Fladnal.•er Cottage, Petwurth, Sussex, from a tour.

We haVe had several occasions lately of laying before our readers strong circumstances of proof, that the internal condition of the country is fast improving under the benign influence of those Laws which Parliament recently enacted. It is with sincere pleasure we add, that these auspi cious circumstances continue to multiply. , The following intelligence from Glasgow indicates, not only that this 'revival of trade and manttfac- lilies is extending to various branches of industry, h.it that it is mainly to be traced to the returning confidence of the country, since the evil spirit of Radical Reform has been coerced : " GLASGOW, JAN. 22.—T0 the notices formerly communicated respectiug the symptoms of the re vival of (lade, it may be meocioned that tallow and potashes have already risen in our market ; and that the holders of cotton-yarn refuse to sell at 'thy 'former prices. " We formerly mentioned the vivacity which had partially taken place in the weaving depart went. The bleach-fields of course are consider ably thronged ) and the cotton-spinners are in better spirits. Those credulous people who doubted fur a moment the stabilny of the Go vernment, and the resources of the Co►rntry, are now regaining their confidence. The hoards'sl silver is pouring fast into circulation, and there Are coniparatively few complaints of want of change." " GLASG(IW, JAN. 20.—1 t i 9 gratifying to be enabled to intimate that a general stir in trade is now taking place thro u gh the country, and our manufactures are giving indications of resuming considerable activity. Wolk is tact g , tting plen tier. Many warehouses in town are taking on hands for pullicates, lappets, and veined stripes, particularly the last two." IRISH MASVFACTURRS.-A new branch of the 11 7 00Ilen Mannfaernre has been introduced this city, which promises beneficial results to the silk trade in particular, and to the conn;ry at large. following are some particular - 3 re specting it : " All the yarn required for the wool Of tabinets is spun in England from Irish wool, and import ed by the silk-manufacturers of the Liberties. A manufactory has been established in Linen Hall street, for spinning this quality of yarn, which has been attended with complete success ; and, finalit, the demand exceeding the present means of production, affords every motive for extension so as to comprehend a full supply for the mat ket, which would give employment to thousands, and secure to It eWill a profi'able branch of matiufac r ure."—(Dublin Paper.) In last night's Gazette, a reward of 50 guineas is offered, and also a tree pardon, to any accom plice giving such information as may lead to the conviction of the person who,aetnally ficed at Mr. \V. STENON, sots of Mr. J. STEN4ON, Of Not tingham, lace-manufacturer. '!'he contents ot the fite-arm passed throogh the back part of the crown ot Mr. W. S.'s hat. On Saturday last an Inquest was .held at the King's Arms, parish of CI tend, in Surrey, on view of the body of Mrs. Sarah Cornwall, who met with her death in' consequence of her residence being inundated with water. It aheared from the evidence, that the deceased, tsho was op%vards of 80 years of age, resided in a cottage near Baostead in Surrey, and that from its local situa tion, it was completely filled with water on Wednesday last, an overflow of which had been produced by the thaw. On perceiving her dan ger, she made an effort to escape, but being very teeble, she unfortunately fell, and was suffocated. Verdict—" Accidental Death." On Monday morning a most melancholy acci dent occurred at Loddington, near Maidstone. A young man was shooting at sparrows from the door of a cottage, and just as he had taken aim, a young woman, named Sarah Horton, about 19 years of age, came f►otn a door almost adjoin ing, arid was entering the door where he stood, wlien the gun went off, and the contents taking' the direction of her bead, carried away her nose and the lo►eer part of her face. Medical assist ance was immediately procuted, and she lingered about five hours in the greatest agony, and then expired. Yesterday, George Taylor was brought up to Guildhall, before Alderman WAtlmmAtst, charged with keeping a receiving house for stolen goods. The prisoner, it appeared by the testimony of Forrest, the officer, was, now, and had been for a length of time, keeping a house of the description alluded to, for the express purpose of encouraging young thieves, who generally sold him what pro perty they stole at a very inferior price. The prisoner, who is a well known character, was fully committed fo Newgate. On . Monday setenight, about twelve o'clock noon, three men and three boys, prisoners in Edinburgh, effected their escape in the tolitiwing manner :—As the turnkey ientered a cell where the prisoners were confined, for the put pose of removing one of them to another apartment, a quantity of snuff was thrown in his eyes, and instantly the whole prisoners •Lt tacked and knocked hien down ; they then at tempted to put a rope round his neck, with the intention to hang him ; but he, being a stout man, prevented them carrying their purpose into execution. The noose of the rope get ting into his mouth, prevented him from giving the alarm. They !hen dragged him i n t o another cell, and locked him in, and made the best of their way through one of the under pas sages, and got clear over the back wall. We lin. dvrstand that three of them have since been re- A flock (if ninety ewes, belonging to the 1,44 of P. J.
