WILLI A M Coo! 13 Err. Sra—lf the Annaib of the Old Bailey had not furnished us with instauces of that effrontery which makes a guilty man, convicted on the clearest testimony, talk of innocence and virtue, should he surprised that even you should ap peal to , the Reformers for support ou the-ground of your olvo - excellence, although my knowledge of your general character, and the superlative confidence which has distinguished you from your fellow labourers in the holy work of perverting men's onderstandirus, should have taught me not to wonder at the foulness of a stream which owes its existence to a polluted fountain. Ai it is the fashion amongst a very numerous cla,s of well disposed Englishmen to dise.urage every attempt to expose your falsehoods and s , phistry on the ground of your utter svortidess= ness, 1 should riot tumble you or the Public with any observations on your Letter to the Reformers, it 1 lead not a pretty strong conviction of the ne cessity tl ere is for meeting you fairly and fully, for the sake of truth and propriety, and also of the justice of that French adage, which says, " Les manvaises Meshes ne meriteat puilitt nos 4gaiik pour elks tnemes, mais pour le mai qu'elles pourroient faire ala bonne vegetation." I really think, that if men's pelts rather than their swords haul .been properly employed in the exposure of your intentions, we should have never been driven 'o form new Legislative barriers against the en croachments which you and such as you have been so long endeavouring to make on the Constitu tion. You. have been allowed to grow into im portance by the weakness or indoletuce of your adversaries, who are numerous, for they are to be found in the sound and virtuous parts of the community, in the defenders of the Church, the well-wishers of the State, and the honest plain dealing men who would have their children un polluted by your doctrines, and their fire-side en joyments undisturbed by your counsel ; your maxims of law and policy, and the schemes which you propose as substitutes for the Constitution when , subverted, have assumed consequence from the absence of well timed opposition ;and the literary attemps that the public has . seen directed against you, have almost wholly failed from the foolish vanity of writers, whit h . has made them ,believe that they could imitate your style and manner, and so subdue you, when plain solid rea soning to which thousands are equal though so few, if any, can write exactly like Mt. Coaatcr - r, would, I firmly believe, if well seconded and boldly repeated, have been found sufficient to avert all the evils that have resulted from your labours, We should then have seen no infatuated crowds courting destruction by rebellious tumult, and no new Acts would have been passed to give you the shadow of an excuse for calling us less free than we used to be. The conduct of Government towards you and your associates, had been that of the seaman who would not fire at the water spout and prevent its injuring his vessel, but waited patiently until iart of his crew was drowned before he could atisfy himself that so singular a cause could ope ate so much mischief. It is a very foolish sort If affectation to deny your powers of mischief. my Lord A— rosy still say, " Do you really sup lose he can do half the harm that he threatens," Ind his Grace of G— may exclaim, " The fel ow is all talk—we have a thousand cleverer hen than he is." I say, your enemies may rail pinst you as long as they please, but you are till the Bosley Porcupine ; and if you have not he bold courage of the Lion, you have what is inch worse, the poisonous sting of the Adder.— . ou see, Sir, that I- have no very mean opinion your powers of mischief; but I rejoice to find, py your tare appeal to the Reformers, that men -ow wiser and wiser, and then sillier and sillier an equally rapid proportion ; and that a man fifty-three may write a foolish letter, and make weak appeal' to his partizans, although he has mitten volumes in his time, which were wel' orth reading for their ingenuity, to say no more of lent. If the columns of the Evening Post should frequently enri i hed with inch splendid produc us, and the Reformer, are such thin brained eatures as your appe o i would lead us to believe ern, you must augment your mechanical means throwing off copies; for if they are weak Lnigh to read and approve your " Tale of a b," (for, by your own confession, that elegant 'ork was your standard of literary excellence en a boy, and we are not to wonder that you ould revert to it in your dotage), it is the star sign that they will purchase any trash that you ugly invent far their amusement. Yonr professed object in writing to the Re formers is to obtain a soul of money to defray- the expences of tin Election which you are vain e n o u g h to think would send you to Parliament; or as I suspect, for the purchase of a Borough— ~f`o~~ ~~~~~ ~~ i~~ of your chance in this way or the purposes i° which you may convert the surplus of the money that the poor starving Reformers, as you empha tically call them, may supply you with, I shall say nothing, although one might vehture by the way to argue from Mr. CoBBBTT's predilection to tra velling, that a well filled purse would induce him to follow one Of his friends to the Continent, and leave behind him his sober exhortations to the water drinkers, as an ample return for their contributions and a proof that in decamp log, •be applies the Fund to a .real act of Reform by abandoning their society ; but the grounds upon which you demand this aid are so'cutious that I cannot help adverting to them. You c•Il yourself a Philosopher, a sound goof! Father and Husband,. a kind hearted \lan and. Makter, a trite Refrainer, and an ardent Advocate for moral and social duties, which you perm(' to inculcate by your example. Now, whether these quahheations, supposing yon to possess them, have many chahns iii the es. i illation of the Reformers I know not, bitt I do know that the Moon is as far from resembling the Sini, in its effulgent properties, as Mr. Cob bett is in the virtues that he mentions. Your claims to distinction as a Philosopher are very equivocal indeed. Your whining in Newgate and year flight to America are, at any rate, strung proofs that your Philosophy is not of the order which distingnished the heroes of ancient days, or the Champions of British Liberty. You, have neither the patriotic philosophy of a SYDNEY, or the hold enduring tnibulence of a Wierots, and the only evidence of your philosophy rests on your decla ration, that when a boy you preferred the pur chase of The Tole of a Tub to the solid comfo r t o f a bread and cheese supper. As a sound Politician you could never have taken two sides of a ques tion. The sontidnels of your politics would either have taught you steadiness to the Refor mers, or fidaty to Mr. PITT, whom you abandoned because you were once excluded front his invitatloll which that great Statesman gave to literaiy men of copal talent-41nd more known than yourself. I know nothing of you as a father or a bushmml ; silly tongues prate, and if they prate truth, your wife and children are Lot much to be envied. As a kind-hearted roan and a good master, you surely have few claims to public fond- . nos, for the whole neighbourhood of Botley says the contrary. That you may be a true Reformer is, perhaps, true, for what is a Reformer, in your own definition of the term, but a profligate, hollow-hearted parasite of men's vices, and an un principled tlisturber of men's happiness ? You are a moral man, too, you say, and a kind one into the bargain—where are the proofs of your mo rality or kindliest; ? Where is the poor roan's hearth that William Cobbett has cheered ? Where is the poor prisoner that be has relieved ? Where is the orphan, or the widow, or the aged and de crepit) to whom he has held Out the hand of tel. lo%vship ? With an immense revenue, if your own account of the sale of your Registers can be credited, what public or private charity has found you its contributor ? You are not a drunkard certainly, where then are the truits ot your in dustry ) They have not been all swallowed up by State prosecutions; they ha ve no t been di spense d i n acts of benevolence ; your morality did not allow you to convert them to the payment of Mr. Ttp. rag, or Sir FRANCLi BURDETT, or Prevent your writing to the latter gentleman, a letter, insult ing to the feelings of the man who had helped you, and subversive of every principle of Law and 1 • - • NS : ice It I had time to follow ;tau through deceit and falsehood, I would do so, but there arc temporAty boundaries to, every man's indignation.- i will write to ru again, and tell •. you the re►►l motives, and the real grounds of your application to the Reformers.

FROM 'nig MORNING pApERS OF THIS DAY. [Morning Post.] AN UNEXPECTED EVENT IN HIGH LIFE.—The topic of conversation yesterday was the sudden disappearance of a Mail of fashion, who has long taken the lead it; the gay haunts at the west end of the town. He held high rank in the army, and is an accomplished scholar. An unhappy predelietion for play is the cause assigned for his abrupt departure. Siine of his friends are said to be under acceptances for a very considerable sum. All the trades-people are left unpaid ; and more than one hotel•keeper has reason to bewail his loss. The fugitive has winged his flight to the Continent. [ The Times.] Letters of the 21st tilt, were received yesterday from Cadiz, and this is the first tone sin( e tl►e insurrection that they have arrived from that city in due course of post. This explains and corrobo rates tl:e report in the French papers, that the insurgents had ret►eated into time Isle of Leon, after losing possession of l'ott St. Mary's, as the occupation of that place by the Royalists, admit sin; an easy communication in boats across the bay, would enable them to forward the mails in the same period as usual. It was before ascer tained, by the way of Lisbon, that Cadiz was in the hands of the Royalists on the 21st, and we have now no new facts to adduce. In one of the letters it is stated as the opinion of the writer, that the Royalist General, Freyre, had formed the design of gradually bringing down his troops, so as to surround time Insurgents in their post at the Isle of Leon, and by cutting► off all t!'.eir re sources to starve Orem into a surrender. Anthen- tic information on the state of the insurrection cannot now be expected before the. a rrival of vessels from thence ; but as several are known to be on the voyage, which, as the prevailing winds have been fair, lutist soon reach this co un try, a few days will probably setlbe question at rest.

At Cadiz, in the night of the 24th, a Colonel Don Nicholas San Yago, endeavoured to bring about some movement, and %vent through the City with ~onte men belonging to the tiregs of the people whom be bad assembled for the pot - pose of exciting te belfion.

The Gazette de France also announces the ar rival of a Cornier Extraordinary from Madrid, with accounts from Cadiz to the 26th and from Ma drid to the 31st Jan., but it contains nothing more than the above-mentioned particulars, stating that the Colonel above alluded to, whom it calls Santiago, is the same who, at the commencement of the Spanish Revolution, was at the head of the populace of Cadiz, who assassinated Gcn, Solaro, the then Governor of. that City. The Illcuriteur selys-4 A Letter fron► 'Madrid, of the 29th January, contains the following ►lr- tails :--- " General Freyre was to commence his march on the 25th. It is now demonstrated Ow C; &z, will not fall into the power of the Rebels, and that the moment of their dissolution is about im mediately to arrive, through the means of force and of their own divisions, which renders the employment of force less deplorable.
