We hear that the foreign Jesuits
intend to apply next feflion of parlia
ment tor a bill of naturalization.
The Jesuits certainly have a better
claim to the naturalization and indul
gence of government than the Jews,
who crucified the patron of their or
der.
Nov. 16. If the aftual state of the
nation be but considered with a dis
passionate eye, and with an equal dis
dain of court servility, and of party
spirit, the following conclusion can
hardly not be drawn ; to wit, that
the British annals do not afford a
conjunfture more pregnant than the
prefentone with an indifpenfible ne
cessity for recourse to parliament, if
that body is not reduced to a mere
shadowy, unsubstantial form. The
critical situation of things on the con
tinent; the attention due to Ireland;
the tender consideration of our colo
nies ; the fluftuation of the public
credit; the danger of depopulation ;
a re-infpeftion into a castle in the air,
which, for a stronghold of the Mogul
empire, has been built in that field
of wind ; with a number of other
points remaining to be adjusted and
fettled for the fafety and fatisfaftion
of the people of this country ; all
these one would naturally imagine
from such a mass of parliamentary
business, and so broklefs of delay, as
must fix an adjournment, at this
time,a note of even a trtafonable neg
ligence or om'Hion. But no. How
ever manifeftly there be accumulati
on of affairs, great and important
enough to command an uninterrup
ted feflion tocotamence from this in
stant, and continue to midsummer,
that is to fay, if a t ue digestion of
them was to take place, instead of
the usual crude, (uperficial, slovenly
manner of treating them ; there are
who dare talk of putting off the fefli
on to adiftant day as- of a measure
long resolved on. As such a measure
then is flagrantly opposite to every
idea of common justice to the people,

Nov. j. £ correspondent observes, ^ith
concern, that the cruelties and rapine prifUfcd
by thefervants of 4,hc East India co ap icy in
Bengal hare roofed the indignation of the pub
lie aga n 1 the Bad India company ihcmfches;
to that we fee the mod unconHitntional and un
warrantable proceedings exercised agaioS the
rights of char tars, with the indifference cf men
who had no concern in such treatment, but the
bank and other companies may be crushed cent,
and the mifehief defeend to every individual.

the odds are a thousand to one that
the report is true. Be it lb. There
is one confutation however remains
to this unfortunate country, that fmee
the aftivity of a dead majority is ei
ther destroyed by an effemirate indo
lence,-a rotten acquiescence, or en
grossed by felfifhnefs and by objefts
full as foreigh'to this nation as to that
of Monomppota, a parliament not fit
ting, or doing any thing, must Be fl ill
preferable to a parliament that, when
fitting, is for ever doing (bine thing
infinitely worse than nothing.
A correfpondent.affures u«, that He
knew a clergyman,in Wales, .who did
duty every Sunday, at two different
churches, for £lO a year. This la
bour he very cheerfully went through
with; but having a wife and fix chil

lowance, and finding it impofiible to
procure them even the common ne
cessaries of life, cheap as they are
there, by attending solely to the du
ties of his function, on work dajs he
fold ale, played on the fiddie, and
mended his parifhoners Iboes: and
thus between fiddling, cobbling, ale
felling, and preaching, made a flpft
