1 ARA Auc. The English journals'of the 4.tli of Aug.' incite tne People of London to cut the throat of Citizen Otra, and no attempt has been ;wide to put an end to this licentiousness, and punish those persons who !bus seek to destroy the social relations. - What „." it in t h e pr es e nt age, in so enlightened a City as - ondon, i n a Nation so civilized as England, that critties are permitted which inspire iuch indignation and horror, when we- read the , recital of similar attrocities in the history of the- Caribs, and Of the most savage Nations ? • The events at.Rastadt had taught us how little L e lPea certain agents of the. English Government he ar to the sacred charafter of an Ambassador. 24th of December, planned by - the Jai-di:aril Bish op of ARRAS and DUTHEIL, bought by the gold ti England, proved to us that there was nothing s acred, either in the rights of Persons, or the rights !I Nature, which certain English agents would not tare to violate. We say (‘ certain English agents,," for God for °ia that we should willingly attribute to a King W hose private virtues all England acknowledges, , Provocations and crimes, which belong to a few - wretches of the charaCter of Mr. *l*****; and ,if ever this assertion were treated in Europe as erro neous and calumnious; it would be easy for us to give authentic and judicial proofs, that several as sassins, excited and paid by Mr. "Ai m *, came from Ectshma .Ipr vv nr-ur -were seized at Parii, and have been detained in the Temple for many mouths past. It is: -not by their declarations we obtain this knowledge, but by original and in controvertible documents. After the charailer of an Ambassador, there is hone more sacred than that of a Prisoner, and, cordingly, these same Journals provoke to the as3as_ . sioation of their Prisoners. If ever, the ferocious Edito r of The - now, which, in his late numbers, has discovered a soul more atrocious than' that of 4 ' 4 4 l tria, could obtain a direit influence, what would t,ain sacre d i n England ? The Ministers would b hi s upon their altars ; the Monarch upon - Throne . ; • the Proprietors in the midst of their ?, °ss essions; for the people who should begin with `" Murder of an ' Ambassador and of Prisoners, who . ar e tinder the faith of their honour, would not stop ti,lcit career, till after they ha d ' run the whole Tett of crimes. Do not the English Ministers, . e „Mernbers of PartiaMent, and of the High Courts ~s uf J A u ' t iee, feel, that to suffer the tolairant Bishop esitkAS DuTH E LI., and Gyoßotts, to Shew them: ;ell? " Publicly in London, is to avow the aft of the .t; t h of December ? That to send assassins from i'nd 6 n by Hatnburgh, with the commission of an li r g a li ', ll Minister /Mr. "*****) to assassinate the Th e is, by exciting to crime, to enanger ~fla ves ' 4 l all Sovereigns, of all Ministers, ins hort, ll men who exercise influence over Nations ? the Journals hard those Ministerial Journals—to e tte to the massacre of the Prisoners, and menace Citiz en urro, is to fill Europe with horror ?

A Dutch Vessel has been stopped at Flushing, it ivas bound from Zreasen to Middle. burgh ; she put into Flushing on - account of corii teary winds.

Afterpiece was The Corsair, which retains iti , impression on the Public. Miss MEic , A6E gave so much satisfaetion. in her /as semi, that it was as usual encored. .The following. circumstance is mentioned, and, if true, not unworthy of remark :—A few days pre_ . vious to the death of the late Mr. JOHN PALMER, • of Drury-lane Theatre, ,that Geptleman, while walking in the Church-yard of Liverpool with the &ceased Mr. Wzi.b, of Covent-garden, ob serving .upon the suitable situation of the ground, Said that he Wotild like to have his body interred in a particular part of it, which he pointed out to.his companion. Mr. Witt) approved his choice, and 'painting to an adjacent spot, made a similar observation with .respell to. himself. It. so hap pened, that in a 'very short time Mr. PALMER hre..thed his last, and' was interred in the identical place of which,. unmeaningly perhaps, he had made choice ; and.
