_berween _privilege and power remains unal

to remouftrate with the house of commons

to your feat in parliament, which the
present slate of the country renders more
than every necessary for the fartherance of

means, * which it is not neceflary for us to
delcribe’ we cannot but entertain the
greatest apprehensions for the remainder of
our liberties, and the employment of a mil
itary force against one of their own body is
bat a fad presage of what may be expected
