A SEIG,EtT DIALOGUE B E TW E E N 808 RESTLESS AND TONI EASY. EASY----Iley, Bob, what do you look so fright ened at ? ItesTLEss-1 have been reading the new Acts e.f Parliament ; they are enough to make one's hair stand on end, E- , --How so ? whoever attends political meetings willke severely punished. L"=l3.less my heart ! Are we to have no more County Meetings, nor Elections, nor Petitions ? It--Oh yes ; as many of these as ever. But no assemblies for altering the State. B--Then the State won't be altered. Are folks to be punished who stay away from such assemblies ? R—Certainly not. E—Do you then stay away, end you'll not be punished for going. Have you any thing else to he trigioen'd at ? R—A great deal. Whoever attends unlawful drillings will be punished too. - you attend them ? R--The new Law will keep me away. E—So much the better. Then it won't punish pin forgoing. Any thing else? R—Aye truly ; enough to terrify any freeborn Englishman. Whoever keeps unlawful arms, will be punished. flow am Ito escape' such a tyrannical law ? E—By not keeping any. R—Then again—kvboever is convicted of pub lishing a second libel, will be transported. 1 sup pose you'll tell tne that can be avoided also, L--Nothing more readily. By not publishing afirst. 'R —That's true to be sure, But then, we are deterred from publishing one libel by the fear of punishment for another. E--All the better; since that very fear saves you not only from the punishment of the second olf. , ice, hut of the first also. 11—But it is very hard to hare the general li berly so restricted. E--Pray doh't call it the general liberty ; quiet people disclaim it, and had rather be ‘rithout it. Call it %dial it really is ; the particular liberty of those who desire asnarchy and contusion. ll—Yes, but while the new laws hinder such people, they are a restraint upon ali others into the bargain, E-1 cannot understand bow. You say you do not want to attend illegal meetings, carry illegal arms, or publish illegal writings ; where then is the hardship of being forbidden doing what - you never desired to do ? 11—Why, in being forbidden. Besides, who knows but at some time or other I might desire it. E—Then, Bob, you would be precisely one of those turbulent spirits, for whom the new laws are intended. Do you think the existing laws against murder and rubbery any hardship upon you ? • R—No, 'surely. E—Would they, if their severity were en creased ? R—l tell you again, no.—l am neither robber lor inurderer. E—Be not rebel nor blasphemer either, and you will have as little reason to dread the new laws as the old ones. What would you say of a law against your jumping out of the garret-Win dow, instead of walking out at the street•door or against your riding into the Thames, instead of over London-Bridge ? • R—Nay, Tom, this is talking idly.—Such a law were nothing to me. Parliament may forbid my breaking my neck or drowning myself - as strongly as it pleases, while I have no notion of doing the one or the other. [PRICE SEVENPENCE. E—Any more than you have of overturning the State and making a Revolution, • however, all restraint upon one's ac tions is tyranny. E—VVsoug again, Bob. Tyranny is the exer cise of that power which - makes a man do what he wishes to leave undone ; nor, which prevents his doll% what he wishes to do. Front your oWn staement it is clear that the new laws will neither force you to commit sedition or blasphemy, nor p u nish you for not committing them. Et —WO, after, all, no law can prevent m y doing what I chose. E--Perhaps not, for the first time. But it can punish yon for indulging the choice. Newgare, too, and Botany Bay, can prevent its repetition. 11—Botany Bay for a freeborn Englishman • L—Don't_ be angry. Englishmen who assume ! b e freedom of robbing and cheating, ate sent flintier, and none grnmble.at their expulsion ex cept robbers and cheaters. " It—Which is us much as to say that none will gro in hie at the so - me pirnishment for rebellion and bla•Phetny, except rebels and hla s spherners, E—Precistly. It—What ! Do you put such JitTerent crimes on the same scale ot criminality ?- E — Nut -14 . undiedth putt t • 2 _ Bishop Watson's Apology for the Bible .• 0 6I Bislo (iinsion's Three l'a,tortl Letters on Infdrlity, I. cacti, or tog - ether Lord .

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS U.T. [Morning Chronicle FOREST OF DARTMOOR. The plan, we understand, is to form a joint Stick Company, with an extensive capital—to .procure an Act of Incorporation —and with pro visions to settle all cl a i ms o f r i g h t to pasturage, &c.—to convert Dartmoor Prison into a Metropo litan School, to which the London • parishes may send their children, who, in addition to the common elements of education,, will be employed in the several processes of preparing and manu facturing flax—and who, when they-arrive at the age of. manhood, may have allotments of the Moor, on lease, to establish themselves in the husbandry they have been taught—the ptoduce of their own labour - while apprentices, being bestow ed on them, as a capital .with which to set Out. This is the outline of the new project, and we sin cerely wish it success. The following is an Extract of a Letter, dated Cadiz, Bth Dec. from The Constitutionnel " Scarcely had the yellow fever ceas e d, when the Board of Trade has come upon us with a de'. mand of money. The Edict published on this Subject on the 6111 inst. rates the quota corres ponding to Cadiz . at eighteen millions of vials, which are destined to aid in the out-fir of the expedition ; 'and adds, that the Board hail hoped, from the zeal and patriotism of the proprietors, that they would not eveu have waited for the term fixed for their compliance with the orders of Government ; but the effect's have not answered their hopes, for the number has been very small of those who fulfilled their obligations. Notwithstanding an indifference so reprehensible on the pert of the proprietors, adds the Edict, would appear to authorize the Board to take tnea sores the most rigorous, they did nut consider it to be their duty to employ them in the state of desolation • in which the city' was plunged during time prevalence of the fever ; but now, as this scourge has disappeared, through the mercy of Divine Providence, and considering also the seve rity of - the new orders. received, the Board Of Trade renew their former invitations by the pre sent Edict, and declare, if the proprietors do not realize the full payment of their respective con tingents peremptorily, within a very short delay, they will positively adopt rigorous measures, by placing property under sequestriition, as well as rents due and not due, till are principals and costs have been covered. It is unnecessary to at tempt to paint to you the situation of the city, We are now under the greatest difficulties to make up a contribution of 100,000 dollars, When iormetly a large portion of the gold and silver that circulates in the world used to pass thrones our hands."—(Mid ) [Moriing Post ] The Government at present keeps a watchful eye over the state of the precious metals —A practice which,-if persevered in, - will be the best security against any possible ill effects from the resumption of cash payments when they shall be adopted. A gen leman of the first consequence in the city, well known for his experience in foreign ex changes and money transactions, was employed, as soon as the late scarcity of silver became ap parent, to remedy the inconvenience, by procur ing a supply of that metal from the Continent, a commission which, we understand, he executed most promptly, and on very advantageous terms, to the extent of one million and a half sterling.— ":o the stnprise ()Idle most experienced merchants on 'Change, this large transaction has been ef fected with scarcely a sensible fall in the rate of exchange with the Continent ; its utility has been immediately felt, and silver is now as plentiful as ever. THE BUONAPARTE FAMILY.—A chimerical fear entertained by Jerome Bunnaparte, induced him, iu 1814, to exchange for Italian property two .estates which he had purchased in Tourraine, and which belonged to M. Michael, the Banker. lie now finds that things are exactly reversed, that it is the posSessions in France which have been respected by the Ft each Government, and by the law of 1816, while the national property which he accepted in exchange in the principalities of Lucca and Mastena-,Carrara, have been resold with success to . Beatrice, Archduz-hess of Austria; The Italian Judges have discovered in the alienations made to Fiend) speculators a • fraud of M. Bac eiochi and his wife, the sister of Napolean, which was devised to deceive Napoleon himself. CORDON WILLIAM KELLY-, of the Middle Tem pie, Esq.
