<% the Conduct of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT
xw. As the season requires, that fir the be<
of the country, your session sheuld be short,
nothing shall be wantng on my part to promote your
objects. However interesting to the publick your
measures may be, they will not exceed my afiticipa
tions : and be always assured, that consistently with
abligations of an official nature they will ever receive
my cordial co-operation and support.
Any other communications, Gentlemen, which may
De requisite, shall be submitted to your consideration
by message.
E. GERRY.
The publick must have read, with painfal
fnterest, the account of the proceedings
which have taken place in consequence of the
voie of the House of Commons for the com
mittal of Sir Francis Burdett o the Tower,
Every sincerc lover of his country, every
man attached to the Constitution, no matter
of what party, every loyal subjectof his Sov
ereigm, an® every enlightened advocate for
the people's rizhts, must lament the agitation
of this question ; because, let the matter tes
minate as it will, one or all of those impor
taat okjects of political affection "muyst sufier.
In the contest between the Parliament and an
tadividual, who has succeeded, in a great
measure, in identiflying himsell with the peo
piey, we perceive a conflict, not of parties, but
of pirinciples, the triumph or depression of
cither of which must be detrimental to the
best interests of the Empire. The resistance
of Sr Francis Burdett to the “execution of
the speaker’s Wariant, as being ilegul, a
mounss (o nowhing less than setting up his in
drvitn i opinion against that of one branch
ol toe e slature, alone competent to deside
the ucsuon, and hazarding the publick peace
in support of it. This, surely, can be justili
ed upon no principle of law, policy, or pru
dence, and the conduct that is restrained by
none of these, if pursued to the end, must
lead to destruction. The precautions adopt
ed by Government prove to a demonstration
that they are #pprehensive of danger. This
by itselt, is sufficient to cause universal alarm,
although we sincerely hope and believe that
the fears of all parties aure disproportionater to
their cause. But without adverting to the
threat of the refractory member to call in aid
to resist the execution ot the Speaker’s War
rant, and his- resolution to repel force by
force, we foresee innumerable difficulties,
which can scarcely be removed by his most
unqualified submission to the authority he has
impugned. It is impossible that the House
of Commons, €an pass this last breach of its
privileges unobserved, without at the same
titae, betraying a sense of weakness, from
whom the most dangerous consequences must
ensue ; or an'madvert upon it, in a manner
worthy of the magmtude of the offence,with
out coming mwore immediately to issue with
the people. They cannot add to the punish
ment oIP confinement, which is alveady indef
inite, nor othefwise express their rcsentment
than by resortifig to the extreme measure of
expulaion. Cuan there be a doubt that Sir
Francis Burdett'willy in that case offer' him«
self again to the Electors of Westminster, as’
a Candidate ! Andif be does, is there' the
least ground for supposing that he will not
be returned by those who have already posted
placards, deprecating the confinement of one
of their Representatives ! Arrived at this
point, what line of conduct is the House of
Commons to purstie, which may guide them
hrough the lubyrinth in which the indiscre
ion of an individual member has involved
hem ! Wil they repeat the measure of ex
ulsion, which will be only piunging again
to the sea of difficuliies, from which it
hould Le their object to emerge ; or, at
nce ceclare by a vote of their own, that ex
ulsion incapacitates the person for re-elec
ion ? They cannot recede without compro
itting their dignity ; they cannot advance
ithoutr committing themselves, not with Sir
rancia Burdett, not with his party, not even
ith the electors of Westminster, but with
ose of the Empiré ! A dissolution of Pars
ament might, for the present, cut the Gor
an knot ; but whatéver we may think res
cting the expediericy, or even safety of
ch a meusure, we are convinced that the
esent ministers wiil not adopt it. We
ve reached the point of chief difliculty in
interesting, but intricate piece, out have
the courage to continue it to the catas
phe, or to pursue the chain of reasoning,
as it might possibly conduct us.

ANTIQUITY. %
of a lstier from Doct. Barton of Philadelphia,
a gentleman of Frederick coumty, Virginio, dated
15, 1810. .
The remains of four vast cilies have
discover~d in the Spanish province of
chy* and the vicinity. They are of
y beautifully constructed and adorned
admirable sculpturés, of which I have
en manuscript engraviugs. The fig
pluinly shew that these cities were not
ructed by any nation of Europe : the
ognomy bespeaks plainly a civilized race
merican Indians, certainly more improv
the Mexicans or Peruvians. The
ery strongly confirms my idea of the
antiguity of America ; of the ancient
improvement, of ,its inhabitants, &c.

riod, to give you much more satisfac+

Gov. Tredweld of Ceonncericut, tregdevwell
in the steps of Timothy Pickering, He ase
cribes all our difficulties to French Influence
in our councils. Now we do not believe that
any such influence does now or ever did exist
in our councils—=nor do we believe that he
thought so when he said so. There is neith
er ovidence nor probability of such a thing.
And when Mr. Treadwell makes an assertion
which be knows to be untrue, he must for
give us, if we consider his professions of
piety and pretentions to goodness as no better
than sounding brass and tinkling cymbals. if
we have been partial to any nation, it has
been to Britaiin—sin permittiug her to keep
thousands of our citizens in her navy not oniy
to carry on her war against France but to
commniit depredations upon ourseclves, 7%is
looks like partiality. Tren, True Am,

not help observing the remains of the sty they

their émplicit obedience to the will of their
