SOCIETY FOR POLITICAL INFORMATION.
At a meeting lately held at the Talbot Inn, in Derby (England.) the following address, declaratory of their principles &c. was unanimously agreed to.
To the Friends of Free Enquiry and the General Good.
Fellow Citizens, CLAIMING it as our indefeasible right to associate together, in a peaceable and friendly manner, for the communication of thoughts, the formation of opinions, and to promote the general happiness, we think it unnecessary to offer any apology for inviting you to join us in this manly and benevolent pursuit: the necessity of the inhabitants of every community endeavouring to procure a true knowledge of their rights, their duties and their interests; will not be denied, except by those who are the slaves of prejudice, or interested in the continuation of abuses. As men who wish to aspire to the title of freemen, we totally deny the wisdom and the humanity of the advice, to approach the defects of government with pious and trembling solicitude. What better doctrine could the Pope, or the tyrants of Europe, desire? We think therefore, that the cause of truth and justice can never be hurt by temperate and honest discussions; and that cause which will not bear such a scrutiny must be systematically or priestly bad.
We are sensible that those who are not friends to the general good, have attempted to insinuate the public mind with the cry of "Danger," whenever men have associated for discussing the principles of government; and we have little doubt but that such conduct will be pursued in this place; we would therefore caution every honest man, who has really the welfare of the nation at heart, to avoid being led away by the profuse clamours of those who live on the sources of corruption. We pity the fears of the timorous, and we are totally unconcerned respecting the false alarms of the venal. We are in pursuit of Truth, in a peaceable, calm, and unadulterated manner; and whenever we recognize her features, we will embrace her as the companion of happiness, of wisdom, and of peace. This is the mode of our conduct; the reasons for it will be found in the following declaration of our opinions, to the whole of which each member gives his hearty assent.
1st That all true government is instituted for the general good,---is legalized by the general will---and all its actions are, or ought to be, directed for the general happiness and prosperity of all honest citizens.
2d. That we feel too much not to believe, that deep and alarming abuses exist in the British Government; yet we are at the same time fully sensible, that our situation is comfortable, compared with that of the people of many European Kingdoms; and that as the times are in
some degree moderate, they ought to be free from riot and confusion.
3d. Yet we think there is sufficient cause to enquire into the necessity of the payment of Seventeen millions of annual Taxes, exclusive of poor rates, county rates, expences of collection &c. &c. by Seven millions of people; we think that these expences may be reduced, without lessening the true dignity of the nation or the government; and therefore wish for satisfaction in this important matter.
4th. We view with concern the frequency of Wars. We are persuaded that the interests of the poor can never be promoted by accession of Territory, when bought at the expence of their labour and blood; and we must say, in the language of a celebrated author, "We, who are only the people, but who pay for wars with our substance and our blood, will not cease to tell Kings or Governments, that to them alone wars are profitable; that the true & just conquests are those which each makes at home, by promoting agriculture and manufactures---by multiplying men, and the other productions of nature;" that then it is that Kings may call themselves the image of God, whose will is perpetually directed to the creation of new beings. If they continue to make us fight & kill one another, in uniform, we will continue to write and speak until nations shall be cured of this folly. We are certain our present heavy burdens are owing in a great measure to cruel and impolitic wars; and therefore we will do all on our part, as peaceable citizens, who have the good of the community at heart, to enlighten each other, and protest against them.
5th The present state of representation of the people call for the particular attention of every man, who has humanity sufficient to feel for the honour and happiness of his country, to the defects of corruption of which we are inclined to attribute unnecessary wars &c. &c. We think it a deplorable case when the poor must support a corruption which is calculated to oppress them; when the labourer must give his money to afford the means of preventing him having a voice in its disposal; when the lower classes may say---"We give you our money, for which we have toiled and sweat, and which would save our families from cold and hunger; but we think it more hard that there is nobody whom we have delegated, to see that it is not improperly and wickedly spent: we have none to watch over our interests; the rich only are represented---The form of Government since the revolution, is in some respects much changed for the worse; by the triennial and septennial acts, we lost annual Parliaments: besides which, the wholesome provisions for obliging Privy Counsellors to subscribe their advice, with their names, and
26 47 18 2 10 4 122 2 61 3 18 3 £54.18 8 15 £79.18 5 82.18 30.18 52.4 16.1 3 12 30.1

against placemen and pensioners sitting in Parliament, have been repealed." It is said, that the voice of the people is the constitutional controul of Parliament; but what is this but saying, that the Representatives are naturally inclined to support wrong measures, and that the people must be constantly assembling to oblige them to do their duty? An equal and corrupt representation would we are persuaded, save us from heavy expences, and deliver us from many oppressions; we will therefore do our duty to procure this reform, which appears to us of the utmost importance.
6th. In short, we see with the most lively concern, an army of placemen, pensioners, &c. fighting in the cause of corruption and prejudice, and spreading the contagion far and wide; a large and highly expensive military establishment: tho' we have a well regulated militia, the increase of all kinds of robberies, riots, executions, &c. tho' the nation pay taxes equal to the whole land rental of the Kingdom, in order to have its property protected and secured—and also obliged to enter into separate associations against felonious depredations; a criminal code of laws sanguine and inefficacious; a civil code so voluminous and mysterious, as to puzzle the best understandings, by which means justice is denied to the poor on account of the expences attending the obtaining it; corporations under ministerial or party influence, swallowing up the importance, and acting against the voice of the people, penalties inflicted on those who accept of offices without conforming to the violation of their consequences and their rights; the voice of free enquiry drowned in prosecutions, and the clamors of the pensioned and interested, and we view with the most poignant sorrow, a part of the people, deluded by a cry of the constitution and church in danger, fighting with the weapons of savages, under the banners of prejudice, against those who have their true interest at heart; we see with equal sensibility the present outcry against reforms, & a proclamation (tending to cramp the liberty of the press, and discredit the true friends of the people) receiving the support of numbers of our countrymen; we see the continuation of oppressive game laws and destructive monopolies, we see the education and comfort of the poor neglected, notwithstanding the enormous weight of the poor rates; we see burthens multiplied—the lower class sinking into poverty, disgrace and excesses, and the means of these shocking abuses encreased, for the purpose of revenue; for the same end, excise laws, those badges and sources of oppression, kept up and multiplied: and when we cast our eyes on a people just formed in a free community without having had time to grow rich, under a government by which justice is duly administered, the poor taught and comforted, property protected, taxes few and easy, and that at an expence as small as that of our pension list, we ask ourselves. "Are we England? have our forefathers fought and bled and conquered for liberty? and did they not think that the fruits of their patriotism would be more abundant in peace, plenty and happiness? are we always to stand still, or go backwards? are our burthens to be as heavy as the most enslaved people? is the condition of the poor never to be improved." Great Britain must have arrived to the highest degree of national happiness and prosperity, & our situation must be too good to be mended, or the present outcry against reforms and improvements is inhuman and criminal. But we hope our condition will be speedily im-
proved, and to obtain so desirable a good is the object of our present association; a union founded on principles of benevolence and humanity, disclaiming all connexion with riots and disorder, but firm in our purpose, and warm in our affections for liberty.
7th. Lastly—We invite the friends of freedom throughout Great Britain to form similar societies, and to act with unanimity and firmness till the people be too wise to be imposed upon; and their influence in the government be commensurate with their dignity and importance.
Then shall we be free and happy.
DUBLIN, October 6.
A private letter from Raphoe, says, that on the 23d of September, in the morning, upwards of 1200 men well armed, entered the town, in order of battle, went through it in every direction, for upwards of an hour, and then marched to the principal church where one of them read a proclamation, by which they were all determined no longer to pay tythes. The people who bear the name of Hearts of Oak, retired in good order and without committing the least violence; but they gave notice they should return on the Sunday following in greater numbers, and then would further explain their intentions.
LONDON, November 9.
Mr. Pitt's speech so strongly urging the undelayable necessity of a Parliamentary reform, is printed in a small character, and distributing through the distant countries.—In justice to Mr. Pitt's powers and sincerity, it must be said, that the speech is certainly unanswerable.
November 10.
The day of trial of Louis XVI is not yet fixed; he is to be tried by the Convention themselves; his crimes are to be specified, and presented to him, and he is to give his defence in writing by himself or his advisers. The convention to give judgement by a majority of votes.
The queen, the unfortunate Antoinette, is to be tried before the ordinary tribunals, as the Constitutional inviolability does not extend to her. With regard to Lewis Charles, (the Dauphin) the committee report, "as he was too young to have participated in the crimes of his parents, he could not be considered as guilty; but he ought to be guarded with the utmost strictness till the day when tyrants, hurled from their thrones, might carry their insignificance where they thought proper, and excite no more interest than Dionisius did at Corinth."
An address, signed by 5000 Englishmen, was presented to the national convention, in their sitting on Wednesday, which concludes thus:
"Our government has pledged the national faith that it will remain neuter. In the struggle of liberty against despotism, shall Britons remain neuter? O shame! but we have given our king discretionary powers—we must obey—our hands are fettered, but our hearts are free, and they are devoted to you. Let the German despots act as they please, we shall rejoice in their fall. The elector of Hanover unites his troops to those of traitors and robbers; but the king of England will do well to remember, that England is not Hanover. Should he forget this, we will not forget it. Whilst you, friends brethren, are enjoying the envied glory of alone defending liberty, we with pleasure anticipate the future, to behold the innumerable advantages and happiness which you will procure to mankind, if you
succeed, as we ardently wish. A triple alliance, not of crowned heads but of the people of America, France and Great Britain will give liberty to Europe, and peace to the world."
Signed,
MAURICE MARCAROT, President.
THOMAS HARDY, Secretary. November 20.
If the French should offer to attack Holland, after over-running the Austrian Netherlands, it is probable that a considerable number of British troops, will be sent to the assistance of the United Provinces, to oppose the progress of the French arms, which may eventually engage this country in a war with that power.
Orders have been sent to Woolwich to complete the two battalions of artillery now in England with the utmost possible expedition; and recruiting parties are to be immediately dispatched to every part of Great Britain for that purpose.
WARSAW, September 28.
The delegation, sent to Peterburgh, by a majority of the confederations, have received instructions to guide them, in their mission, in substance, as follows: 1st. To declare, that the confederated states will acknowledge in every public act, that it was the powerful aid, lent by her Imperial Majesty, that has placed the nation in a situation to recover its liberty, and its pristine respectability. 2d. That it would be neglecting the most sacred of duties to defer one moment in making a grateful acknowledgment to that powerful Sovereign of all the Russias. 3d. That this merited acknowledgment is not only made by the present confederated states as the first of their duties, but that it will be paid by their posterity for ever. 4th. That it is the wish of the nation to form a close union with her Imperial Majesty, founded on a perpetual alliance. 5th. That the confederated nation will make known to the whole universe, that it considers as its greatest blessing, to rank itself among free nations, under the auspices of the friendship of such a power as Russia. 6th. That the nation, from henceforth free, by the benevolent aid of her Majesty, exists in the hope and firm persuasion, that the most magnanimous Sovereign will afford its powerful protection to enable it to complete the work begun, which is, to secure the stability of the government, the glory of the Polish name, the liberty and independence of the republic.
The delegation sent to the King, is to make the following declaration. 1st. That the Polish nation, who chuse their Kings, knows also how to esteem and respect them, and will never deny the head of the nation the respect that is due him. 2d. that the king shall be thanked for his accession to the articles of the confederation, by which means the great evils that threatened the republic were avoided. 3d. That his Majesty shall be requested to impart to the nation his salutary advice, which always has the good of the country for object, that the public prosperity be more and more firmly established.
October 3d. The Polish energy is not yet totally extinct. There are yet men who dare face tyranny in open day. M. Lefzezenki, Nuncio to the late Diet, in a speech he delivered, was unable to controul the generous feelings of a patriotism above all fear. "What is then (said he) this liberty, established by fire and sword?" &c. "To what a situation is the nation brought? What dictines have named the mar-
shall, counsellors, and their new men before whom I stand?" This was enough to rouse the zeal of the illustrious confederation. It was moved, that Lefzezenki be publicly condemned. But thanks to Ballorting, the order of the day was taken up.
It is also at the theatres, that the public indignation dares shew itself. A new piece furnished the most happy illusions and sentiments; they were all received with tumultuous plaudits in the presence of the Russians and their agents, the new regenerator of Poland. A professor lately pronounced in the schools at Warsaw, an eloquent and sensible discourse on public opinion. The assembly was numerous, and received the finest parts, where the influence of opinion was represented as the punishment of wicked men, with enthusiastic applause.
The General Confederation has gravely decided, That the sacred principles of equality did not permit wearing epaulis upon the new uniform. The false epaulis to be generally worn, are to bear the following inscription, (taken here in the most insulting sense) Liberty of the Country.
BOSTON, December 29.
We are informed, that the inhabitants of the islands of Martinico and Guadalupe, have lately captured, by an armed force, the islands of St. Lucia and Marigalante, two French islands. It is said, the two former colonies have renounced the jurisdiction of France, and have established themselves as an independent state.
PHILADELPHIA, January 10.
Mr. BLANCHARD, the bold Aeronaunt, agreeable to his advertisement, at five minutes past ten o'clock yesterday morning, rose with a balloon, from the Prison Court, in this city, in presence of an immense concourse of spectators, there assembled on the occasion. The process of inflating the balloon commenced about nine o'clock. Several cannon were fired from the dawn of day until the moment of elevation—a band of music played during the time of inflating, and when it began to rise, the majestic sight was truly awful and interesting—the slow movement of the band, added to the solemnity of the scene. Indeed the attention of the multitude was so absorbed, that it was a considerable time ere silence was broke by the acclamations which succeeded.
January 19.
A correspondent informs us that it is the intention of some of the governmental gentry in England, to have the following changes made by acts of Parliament, which will prevent the people (when they feel their own strength) from rising in bodies, and doing it for themselves, as they have done in France.
1. A reform in the representation of Parliament, so as to make it equal.—And then 2. To repeal or alter the game acts, or at least to take off the penalty and the transportation part. 3. To repeal the test laws, so as that the members of all the different religious societies be on an equal footing with those of the established church. 4. An alteration of the tythe acts. 6. An act to extend equal benefits to their fellow subjects in Ireland and in Scotland, &c. equal to those enjoyed by Englishmen, as well as to representation and taxation as also to trade and commerce. 6. An Act to prohibit the slave trade.

 7. An act to reduce the number of placemen.  8. An act to lower all salaries.  9. An act laying the East India trade open, and no longer to be held by a company,—Monopolies being disgraceful in a free country.  10. An act to appropriate the income of the dutchy of Cornwall, (which the King now holds) towards the reduction of the national debt.  11. An act to dispose of all the crown lands, &c. in small parcels to farmers, that they may be cultivated. And the monies arising from such sales to be applied towards the discharge of the national debt. 
12. An act making a thorough alteration in the land tax laws, so that they be no longer taxed by the old custom from Dooms Day book, but that every estate should pay a tax in proportion to its annual value.
13. An act to lower the land tax, the duties and excises, &c.
Authentic accounts from Cape Francois state the numbers killed in a late dispute between the whites and mulattoes, at about sixty. The engagement lasted several hours, the mulattoes finally retreating and taking possession of some forts in the country. It is said they have since consented to a treaty. An embargo was laid on all vessels at the Cape, and still continued till the last accounts came away.
We have important reasons to believe, that one of the articles agreed upon by the French commissioners now employed in the negotiation at Longwi, is the delivering up the unfortunate General de la Fayette.
LEXINGTON, March 30
On the afternoon of the twenty-first inst. a party of Indians (supposed to be twelve or fifteen,) fired on the Post and two others, on Laurel river in the wilderness, on their way from the settlement: the Post was killed and the other two wounded, one of them through the shoulder, the other through the arm: the Posts horse ran off with the Mail, and was found next morning with the horses of the two wounded men, but without saddle, bridle or Mail; whether the Mail has fallen into the hands of the Indians or not, is uncertain.

On the late Manifesto and Campaign . T HE Lord of Heav'n in days of yore, Had mercy on the town of Zoar, To save ONE RIGHTEOUS MAN. To prop one scepter'd man in France, Bravado Brunswick wields his lance; He swears by all the powers of Hell, To slay and plunder, dire to tell, A nation—if he can.
But lo! the sons of Freedom rose, And pull'd the bully by the nose— He turn'd about, and ran.

A N ignorant fellow who was much addicted to drinking, had, in consequence thereof, very sore eyes. He sent for a Physician, and consulted him about the matter. The Physician gave directions, that he should never drink any more strong liquors, or he would certainly lose his eyes. The fellow refrained a long while, but could persevere no longer. At last he takes the glass, and imagining he should immediately lose his eyes, cried out Farewell eyes, for I'll be d—d if I can hold out any longer.
