WROE'S rvIANCIIESIEIt OBSERVER. We have long hesitated upon the propriety of noticing this Journal,—and the situation of its Editor, now awaiting the decision of the Law upon his publications, has hitherto induced our forbearance. lint there is a point, beyond which forbearance were folly, and ahnost crime. We should be as guilty as the writer himself, were we any longer to spare the dreadful excitations to insurrection which now come forth. It) the Manchester Observer of the 29!.h, there is a Dialogue between two or three Country Ra dicals. It is composed in a jargon, which we dare say, is Cie dialect of the people for whose instruction it was designed i—but to us for the most part unintelligible.—One sentence, however, is too plain for .inis4pprehension ; and to that we call the attention of every honest and Loyal WHO. After complaining against the New Laws, and the Parliament by which they were ellaCt ell, ►lie leading RadiCal - exclaims—" But let us talk- no " more about them till Spring—till days are " longer and warmer—and then, a deal of fingers " will itch if they are not in action." Our Readers will not desire to see the original bad spelling, which is genuine.blackguard.—They may be assured • this is its literal interpretation.— But stay—upon second thoughts, Mr. Wane shall not have the plea of our mis-stating its mischief : " Bo lets tavtk nn moor o-hcativt ual till spring— " till days ar langur un warmur—un then o-deeol " o-fingurs ul itch iv they arnot in action."--Let Mr. WROE put any other meaning upon this spe cial invitation, if he can. 1 How admirably the Radical plan accords in all its parts and members !—" A deal of fingers will " itch if they are not in action," says Mr. Witos at Manchester :—abstain from excisable articles, and " it will strengthen you for the time • " of action;" says Mr. IILINT at the Crown and Anchor.—They are all in a story, and, like the ancient Orator, Action—action—action—is their first, second, and third requisite. The Jargon which we have above interpreted is not used for concealment. No. It is the lan,, , ,:uage best understood by the wretched ignorants in whose district it circulates. And they will, of course, practice its lesson ; and shortly effect the '' action" for which it " itches their fingers."— If the blessing of education is tins ungratefully perverted—if the faculty of reading is applied, as we fear it too generally is, to the mental pruriters of blasphemy, sedition, and impurity—if the lower orders are rendered incapable of positive virtue, and can bold their innocence in its negation only, then—they most be shelte).ed from clime in igno rance. 'Better it were, that they knew not A from Z, than that they employed their knowledge Upon WROE, and WOOLER, and CARLILE., and COBBETT. We are led by this consideration into a question which has long occupied our minds. IT IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO GIVE TDB POWER OF READING, UNLESS THE DISPOSITION OF RF.ADING RIGHTLY, EIIALL BE GIVEN ALSO. Hitherto, our institu- tions, praiseworthy as they ate in their intent, have given the power only ; and trusted the dis position to the human heart. They have selected, certainly, modes and vehicles of instruction, which Carried in their very elements the means of piety and morality :—hut they have not created or se cured the disposition. Perhaps it was impos sible : perhaps it was an object to be wished rather than attained. He, however, who could solve its problem, would do more good to man kind Than art or science ever yet accomplished, In the mean time, we are perfectly content to be thought the friend of ignorance and of despo tism. But, rather than see Blasphemy or Treason made the study of the labourer, the theme of the scribbler, and the profit of the schemer, we would consent to see the advantages of educa , ion nar rowed with its mischiefs, and•the Liberty of the Press abr•idgedi with its danger. It is an excellent thing, to he good and free together :—bu!,, let us be good at all es,,.urs. A melancholy instance of the danger of preci pitate interment lately took place in the city of Pau.—A man who had been deaf and dumb from his birth, awl who followed the trade of a far• rier, went out to sup with a party a friends. Having drank a great quantity of brandy, he be came alarminmly ill on his return home; a physi cian was sent for, who administered some po tions, which...however produced no effttct. In a short time all signs of life ceased, the unfortunate man was supposed to he dead, and his funeral took place on the following afternoon. The funeral service was ended in the church, and the body was about to be conveyed to the burial ground, when a noise was heard within the coffin, accom panied by groans. The terrified mourners imme diately stopped, the coffin-lid was °pencil, and with horror they beheld the supposed corpse rise up. Medical aid was immediately• procured, but it was too late. The cold at;d privation of air which the unfortunate man had endured while shut up in the coffin, together with the horrible sensations he experienced on his recovery—all combined to deprive him finally of the lite to! which he had thus been restored. lie survived only a few hours.--(Lilerary Gazette ) HIS MAJESTY'S HEALTH. This morning's Account of the State of the Kitio's Health is as follows : " CARLTON-PALACE, FEBRUARY 7, iseo, " Half-paa Eleven o'Clock, A.m. " The KING I►es hed a very good night. MS MAJRVI Y proceeds in His Recovery in a very sa tisfactory maul-ter. "HENRY HALFORD, " WILLIAM KNIGHTON." We understand, that the teason the above Bul letin WAS not signed by Sir MATTHEW TIERNEY is, that the KING was So much better on Satur day that he left town fot Brighton. The following Bulletin was issued yesterday : " CARLTON PALACE, FIIFIRVARY 6, 1820, " Half-past Eleven o'Clock, A.M. "The KING continues better. (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD, 1, WILLIAM KNIGHTON, "mATTHEw JOHN TIERNEY." The Porters at the gates of the Palace, and all the Servants appear in deep mourning. We received yesterday and this morning the Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday last. • The Chamber of Deputies had a public sitting on Wed nesday, at which M. de LACROIX-MAINFILLE re ported from the Committee on the projet re specting the sales of national property. The Re port proposes a variety of amendments, and in deed a new modelling of the projet ; but still, however, retaining the chief objects of it, security for the possessors of national property against both the claims of the Government and those of the original proprietors. The Report wps ordered to be printed, and the discussion to be opened this day. The Chamber then proceeded to hear Reports from the Committee of Petitions, but which pre sented nothing remarkable. A petition from cer tain individual s s, who contributed to a loan of 12,000,000 francs to the King of Saxotay in NIL secured upon the revenues of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, then in his possession, praying for some security for the re-payment of their capital,was or dered to be referred to the Minister for Foreign Af fairs. At the conclusion of the Public Sitting, the Chamber resolved itself into a Secret Cornmi i ttee,in which M. de LAFAYETTE submitted a proposition for praying his Majesty to direct his Ministers to propose a.Projet for the definitive organization of the National Guards of France. • M. Mastust. also brought forward a proposition, praying th at a Projet might be presented for a new organization of Juries. The consideration of both these propo-. sitions was postponed for a week. It does not appear very clearly when the Projet was to be presented for the modification of the Elec tion Law. The Constitutionnel of Thursday has a curious pat agraph, stating that " The new Electoral Committee assembled yesterday (Tues day), under the Presidency of the future Grand Elector of the Kingdom. All the different Projets framed in the course of a year past by the Doctrinaire's, the Ministerialists, and the Ultrai, passed successively under consideration. The Projet of 137 articles, prepared by M. de BROGLIE and corrected by M. de SeTtßa, spas the first under discussion. It was found too long, too diffuse, its principles were considered too Demo cratic,aud its results appeared likely to be too con formable to the views of Monarchical men par ex cellence. It was put to the vote, and rejected by a majority of 3to 2." The paragraph then goes on to assert, that all the other Projets were suc cessively rejected, and that a Committee was ap pointed to prepare a new one, but which was at all events to have for its basis the quinquennial renewal of the Chamber. How far this statement is correct remains to he ascertained. The Gazelle de France records, that on the evening (Tuesday) mentioned above the Ministers held an extraor dinary Council, to which were summoned the Chancellor d'AMBFAY, the Duke de RICHELIEU, the Abbe. de MONTESSUIOU, and the Marquess GARNIER. This Council, whose deliberations were prolonged till late in the night, i s i s s er z e d to have had for its object the final examination of the Projet resp - eciing the Election Law,,,but the result j 1 Ali*;AT ,, o.tt is'not stated. It appears, tht. - etofe, to be still uncerrain, 'not only tvhat day the Projet will be brouilit . fOrward, but as to what the arrangements are, which it is intended to comprise. The KING gave audience on Wednesday to the Polies NUNCIO, and to some of the Ambassadors. Sir CHARLES STEWART, the English Ambassador, had - a private audience of his MAJESTY for an ko Froth Hamburg!) it is stated, that Geuerdl GOURGAUD had been 3 entenced to quit that c`ty, and territory a 3 3 . 0011 as be could procure passports tor some other place, unlii which period he was to remain confined. General GILLY, who has arrived at Paris, is a prisoner at the Abbaye, until he gets rid of the sentence awarded against him par cantumace. The Monitcur of Friday, contains the following intelligence respecting the affairs of Spain " The Spanish Courier brought yesterday, let ters from Cadiz of the 14th ult., Ronda of t he 18th, and Madrid of the 24th. " The Cadiz letters announce, that tranquillity continued to prevail in the city, and that the po pulation remained estranged from the cause of the troops who had assumed the title-of the Con stitutional Army. The King has, appointed Gen. Freyre Cap tain-General of Andalusia par interim, and Gene ral in Chief par interim of the expeditiorary Army: M. Valdes, Governor of Cadiz, is Chief of the Staff ; be has been summoned to Seville by the new Captain-General, to concert uteasto es with hint. " Eight hundred men arrived on the 13th, from Seville, at Cadiz. " Several Proclamations announce that an im posing force was marching against the Revolters; that 8000 men had left Madrid, and were march ing upon San Fernando, the capital of the Ida de Leon ; and that the rest of the Expeditionary Army had been sent to the interior. " It appears that the Governor of Cadiz had been too late in sending reinforcements to Ca racca ; it was only on the 12th that he sent 500 men thither of the Regirent of Sot ia, to reinforce the garrison. But the Revolters presented themselves in superior numbers before the place, which was surrendered to them. The let ters explain this want of resistance by saying, that the insurgents manifested - a determina tion to burn the Arsenal and all the Naval establishments ; to avoid this calamity, the garri son decided to abandon the Fort. Caracca is in the Isla de Leon, at - the extremity of that part of the Bay of Cadiz, which is called the Bay of Puntales, on the river of Santi Petri (this 'must not be con founded with the river of San Pedro, which flows on the side of Saint Mary,) The Revolters seized the ship Saint Julien, which was in the Port. The Officers were allowed to proceed to Cadiz ; the Governor was sent to San Fernando. " The Govertatnent of Grenada has put at the disposal of General Freyre, six regiments of in fatitry, which are designated by the title of the Division of Grenada. These are the regiments of the King, Gallicia, Zamora, Malconia,Valencia, andXaen. They are commanded hy Gen. O'La wlor. General Freyre is to be furnished in the king dom of Seville, with the Regiments of Spain and of the Crown, and also the Provincial Grenadiers. His Cavalry consists, Ist, of the Cavalry which forms part of the Expeditionary Army, 2,500 men, 2d, of the Royal Carabineers, SOO Men, and of CuiraSsiers, 450; Numancia, 300; Santiago, 250; LuSitania, 500; Algarve, 300; total, 5,000 men. " This General will have, besides the , Regi ments of the Expeditionary Army, which remain faithful ; namely, ti►e Regiments of the King, of the Prince of America ; 2d, of Cordova, of Valencia, and of Guadalaxere, which are to unite at Marchentt, under the orders of General Crux. The army is reinforced by 6,000 militia ; orders have been besides issued, that four companies by battalions of the militia of Andalusia, are to be placed at the discretion of the GeneraL " The above details are extracts of letters from Ronda and Cadiz. The following is from Ma drid, the 24th It had been said, that Admiral Cisnero had succeeded in escaping from the revolted army, and that he was on board the squadron ; he is, however, still a prisoner at Cusco. What gave rise to the report, was the presence at Cadiz of M. Vile Vicience, appointed to replace provi• sionally the Admiral. The intelligence of the entrance of the Insur gents into Caracca, has probably given rise to the reports which have been circnkted at Madrid on the 221, that the pots of Cortadura was in their possession.' " Letters from Cadiz, of the 18th, received at Nladrid the 24th, positively state that that port Was maintained by a garrison of inviolable fidelity." " The Journal de; Del)ats after mcotioning some of the above ta . cts,says, " The best ppitit prevails at Cadiz, where the inhabitants rival the troops an d the Royal Navy in making the places secure against the attacks of the rebels ; General Freyre after reinforcing the garrison of Cadiz with a regimen t of Infantry, has assembled between Seville Pod Uirera, 12,000 Infantry, and 2,500 Cavalry• On the 20th tilt, he was ready to march at the head of his troops, to attack the Rebels, who by their numerous desertions, remained reduced to about 2,000 men, and %tit° would be obliged yield to superior nu►ubers." The Journal de Paris says, " Letters frool Madrid of the 22d ult. mention a report that th e Rebels had obtained possession of the COrta.dorSi and had entered Cadiz ; but this news is eoutr¢' dieted by ad vices how Cadiz of the 18th."
