THURSDAY, JULY 8, so.
D U B L I N, April 17.
IT has been often remarked, that there is a fickle
ness in the people,of this country, that gene
rally counteracts the best designs before they
can be executed.. Of this class we may rank the
P r °J r° f a ° G !?evefe colony, andthe building of
l, cit y fur th e emigrants who are to form it near
Vaterford: fifty families are already arrived but
the foundations of the New-Geneva arc scarcely
laid, the building is protracted on various pre
tences, and difficulties arise falter than houses; in
the mean time the Genevefe already arrived, who
are of the better and most decent kind of artisans
are lounging through our ftrects, .without either
settlement or encouragement. An opnofition to
P'?', 11 ^ Duties, and persecution of printers, are
objects of more importance to government'
^^Saturday morning Mr. Matthew Doyle
and Wll liam Bihgley, who were apprehended
on Friday, as supposed publishers of the Volun
teers Journal, were,brought before Justice Robin
lon who without hesitation difeharged them upon
bail lhc Deputy Serjeant at Arms, who was
present, then arrested Bingley, on the Speaker's
warrant of the Houle of Commons, but the upright
' n r the . m °^ peremptory manner, repriman
ded him mr his. audacity, and ordered him to be
iatay conduced out of hjs house.;
The judge behaved With that nobie, manly spirit
Which loves the law and reveres the execution; it
is not a Shakefveare's warrant, or the ebullition of
any individual body of men that makes law; the
common law is common justi ce , not to be twisted
to ieive the turn of every rogue in office..
1 001 Bingley was afterwards surrounded by a
body of armed soldiery, headed by the Deputy
Serjeant, and taken into custody a second time
Mr. Robinson, the High Constable, behaved with
the greatest fprit, but in ^vain, as Bingley was
carried oft before he could effeft his release.
It is now generally admitted, that nothing can
alleviate the distress the nation labours under? from
the refusal, of administration : to concede to the
ly^em of protecting our manufactures, but a vene
ral non-confamption affociatjon: the people of
Kilkenny, C.ohmell mid Cork, have already deter
mined towcar only the manufactures of Ireland
Until a bill for effectually protesting them passes our
legihature; the whole kingdom, it is thought, will
follow their example, and even our House of Com
mons, as a small atonement for having rejected the
protesting., uties, in compliance to the prejudices
an Engiifh administration, will, it is hoped
enter mtplome resolves of this kind. The ide^
is not new, for on theirjournals we find precedents
of non-cpnlumption agreements.
April s. Mr. Binns, yederday, in Guild-hall,
urging the absolute necerfity of a non-importation
agreement, or protecting duties, if any adequate
relief was iheant to our carving brethren, said
that no greater proof could be adduced of the
mnery of our poor manufacturers, than that 6000
ox them applied each day to the house of induft^
f ° r the wretched pittance of a herring and a morfei
of bread.. °
Yeftepday, at noon, a meeting of all the Crown
Lawyers was held at Justi ce Robinson's, on the
bed mode of conducting the prosecution ag a i n st
Mr. Carey, the supposed publisher of the Volant
^ rs J^rnal, now imprisoned on the Speaker of
^°" ° ° ' ommons warrant, in the house of
the Deputy Serjeant at Arms, in Lower Abbey-
Itiegt, ,where, by somebody's order, he remains
we hear, without fire, bed. or candle
,0 hit! bluffi, bluffi, for the fallen honor
0, youi nation! A prisoner of the Rate treated
with a barbarity unknown, even to a Spariifh in

conduct is a reproach on the adminifiration of a
Rutland, winch never can be done away, as well
as disgraceful to the feelings of the Irish people.

Phe marked unequivocal opposition of every
measure calculated to refeue us from the abyss of
milery we were involved in, which distinguished
the execrated Northington, united the nation in
supplications to Providence to free us from this
"S' genius of the land; our willies were heard!
Alas! but to double our curse in a R--- , who
under the insidious deceitful mask of liberality, is
hourly, with his venal prostitute P——-p, making
inroads on the liberties of the nation !—Are we
MEN? Shall we fuffer every thing dear to • human.
", a '" r °; to be thus repeatedly put to sale, and pur
chased with the extorted spoils of a country, whose
vnious.cdorts are bailed by the corruption of her
mock guardians, become her insatiable plunderers?
Fox and his partisans, in idea, joined to the
L °' an ea ^ ern world, the confifcations
, re , d " emfclves thc y Should be able to
in Ireland :—Pitt now rooted in office, fol
lows the mating example!—His legions are or
dered for Ireland.^—That precious . instrument
is engaged to afford us an Irish specimen of
Lexington prowess ! And the senate is prophaned
by the encouragement held out to a licentious sol
diery, to let loose those dogs of war, slushed in
!, ca f. na g e of the brave Americans, on an un
luipetLirig nation, that,. roused with our wrongs
we may afford a pretence to those dreadful scenes
they meditate!
L O N DO N, March 26.
E MERAL ELECTION.•
bustle, bustle; caparison the horfes*
V all hands to work, for we are on the eve of
a general election. Lord have mercy ori the
tradesmen of Westminster, and the post horses
throughout the kingdom !—The bills of the one
will not be paid, nor will the other recover their
hides foi this twelve-month to come!
Now it is that individual equality exists among
men.. The pcafant treads upon the heel of the
Lord the Lord bends like a horse-whip down to
'the* gr0und....... .
Every little imaginary man struts in elective im
portance, and because a couple of dependents
have promised to vote as he chufes, he gives him
felf a prodigious deal of trouble, in running about
to convince his acquaintances that he is employed,
and Charles, Charles, Charles,, is ever pantingly in
his mouth by being veiy iujy, he fancies that be
is very useful. & He gets himfelf placed on the
pai ochial committed, and then his own affairs are
negleflea and go to ruin, as he is so very much
interested and involved in those of the nation,,l
Ine young ladies are up an , hour, earlier than
ufuaLin the morning; and they too, catching the
influenza of the family, are determined to canvas
their acquaintances for their favourite candidate.
Here again it is nothing but Charles;, for Charles,
though not one of the handsomest men on earth,
1101 the most gallant, is yet exceedingly fond of
the laoies, and besides, he spoke like an angel
agamft'the marriage a&. ~ ..,,'.
Ihe defertep mansions of the country are now
filled with their septennial visitors—and Scotland
en j°y s the rarity of feeing those great men who im
poverish her foil by {pending its produce in another
land. & But bouna in the chains of hereditary
prejudices, she looks up to them with a fort of
reverential awe, and receives their lordly man
c^tes, without presuming to assert; their natural
freedom, or to provide for their social happiness.
Now watch-words—phrases— nick-names—puffs
^ F^agraphs— poetry —Pitt, and prerogative, ring
in all the muheal monotonies of alliteration, 'The
are P estered with madrigals—Ou.r areas are:
ed with hand-bills—she pot houses are crouded
with political porters.. Tne club rooms are deco
rated in all their parapharnalia, and every candi
date, before he can become a member of Parlia
ment, must be a Sol, a Cousin, a Buck, a Druid,
a Cardinal, a Brush, a John, &c. &c. &c.
# Every story of a candidate's life is brought up
into recollection; and if nothing should really be
found amounting to moral turpitude, the frailties
tridental to man are collected—the propensities
0- his nature, whatever they may be, are presented
No. 2210.
