NATIONAL GOOD.

giTRACT FROM A PAMPHLZT UNDER Tag ♦DOT!

XITLE, JUST PUBLISHED.

61 As the desire of travelling and speeding their
time and property abroad has increased amongst
the nobility and gentry—in the same degree hu
contempt and neglect of the best interests of the
nation manifested itself in their conduct. Why,
therefore, should we suffer them to go on in their
own way, without stating to them the real state and
situation to which we are reduced ? It is most tin.
doubtedly national good that ought to sway the
proceedings of the principal men in the nation, in-
asmuch as the good thty possess cannot ha perma-
nent without it. The language of many who spend
their money abroad is, that what they spend is their
own; but they should recollect the weight of suf-
fering they cause by absenting themselves from the
country. The following may serve to give them
some idea of the effects produced by their absence,
copied from a Provincial Paper:—
"' The demand for our own manufactures has
been diminished in no inconsiderable degree by the
number of our gentry, who, bit, as it should seem,
by what may be called the travelling taraerado, can
only be cured by a dance over half Europe, or at
lea►t by a jig to Paris. I fear some, of these bitten
ones will, like the traveller of Shaltspeare's Rosa-
lind, ' sell their own lands to see other men's ;
then to have seen much and to have nothing, is
to have rich eyes and poor hands.' But if they
should not bell their lands, by their absence they
impoverish them, which is much the same thing ;
fur these gaping idlers take, according to a fair
calculation, about twelve millions yearly out of our
country, that is, about one-eighth of the whole in-
come of England. It has been calculated that
forty thousand hands are, by this wanton emigre..
tiro), thrown out of employment in London alone.
To export one-eighth of the national income is to
subtract one-eighth of the employment, by subtract-
ing one-eighth of the demand—a grievous evil.—
But to forbid such emigration would be an inva-
sion, it is said, of the liberty of the subject, and these
itinerants are sufficiently rich and powerful to re-
sist a tax on absentees, which would be most salu-
tary. Could, however, the foolish rage for travel-
ling and living in France for cheapness, be restrain-
ed, much of the lack of demand for our own manu-
factures would be undoubtedly removed by in-
creased home consumption.'
" Thousands and tens of thousands are spent in
mere gew-gaw nonsense—foreign toys, or rather,
perhaps, what is worse, foreign vice, and new ful-
lers—lace, silks, &c. which are prohibited in
this country, but which are sought after and bought
with avidity in France. When some of these spend-
thrifts return, we see all the chewy colours of the
butterfly displayed in females, and all the tricks
and attitudes of a French barber are open to full
view, by the dandy youths (nr exquisites), Frenchi-
fied in practice, and, I am afraid, iu p iuciple also.
" Dr. Young, in 1744, said, is we are at war
with the Power, it were well if we were at war with
the manners of France. A land of levity is a land
of guilt—a serious mind is the dative soil of every
virtue, and the single character that does true ho-
nour to marikind.'-a-Had the Doctor now been
living, what would have been his feelings on this
subject ?"

A well.dreesed man, Calling himself Captain Weston
Phipps, R.H: who resided in Tssatou about lox week«, had
succeeded in obtaining goods ton considerable amount.
While on a shuotsisg excursion at Minek«art, Mst week, cis.-
cumstassers arose which excited suspeciusi of hiss clisboarst
Uncoil 0000 s, and soon after hi« return he was apprehended,
when must of the property was found in his lodgings, parked
up, and addressed to persons of different mimes, to disbud
towns, to which it is supposed it was his intention intim*.
diately to proceed. He had contrives' to introduce kilned(
into several respectsble families of that town and neighbour-
hood. He is committed to Wahines's' fur further examine-
