Counsel were farther heard, rtlative to the Scotch
Appeal, Cathcart, Bart. v. the Earl of Cassilts, viz.

the Respondent. The farther consideration of the
case Was postponed till to-morrow.
The Bills upon the Table were forwarded in their

The Order of the Day being read, the House re-
solved into a Committee nn the Irish Militia Reduc-
tion Bill, and Lord Walsinr,liant having taken the
Chair, the various clauses and provisions of the Bill
were agreed to by their Lordships, without observa-
tion or amendment.

The House having resumed, the Report was re-
ceiveJ, mid the Bill ordered to be read a third time
to-morrow.

Certain Papers relative to the Appeal, Cox o.
borne, Bart. from the Court of Chancery in Ire-
land, were presented at the Bar, and ordered to lie
on the Table.

On the Bill being read a first time, the LORD
CHANCELLOR quitted the Woolsack, and called
their attention to the prominent consideration of
the 8.11. It was a measure or:ginating with the wo-
man; a circumstance which uniformly rendered
that House very cautious in entertaining Bills of the
Is;nd. There were, undoubtedly, some precedents

late as the year 1801 ; yet these were countenanced

BJCITIS I I

I.ONPON,
WEDNESDAY, Aran. 10.

The vote of the House of Commons, in the case
of Viscount MEI. vi Le, will form, in a constitution-
al point of view, an zra in the history of this coun-
try. To lower the Government in the estimation of
the people, to represent a place of power as a place
of profit, and ambition synoaimous with avarice;
to consider Statesmen as universally selfish and
corrupt ; and a change of Ministers as only a change
of Masters, all seeking their private ends, and
making alike the subjeS the vi Rim of their credulity,
the slave of their will, and the means of their self-
ish gratification, has been the favourite policy of
ever• revolutionary traitor. Of the success of this
policy the Continent of Europe affords a melancholy
example. In France, in Holland, in Italy, in
every country where treasonable arts have prevail-
ed, and national ruin has followed the success of
jacobiaical intrigues; we find nothing more was ne-
cessary to the completion of the plan but to destroy
the confidence of the people in the Prince, to repre-
sent theGovernmeat and the governed as having dis-
tina a :d contrarient interests, objeEts, and views.
By tbis political menrteuum, kingdom after kingdom
has been dissolved, until Europe is in a great part
reduced into ruin. Among the few nations that
nave withstood this desti naive poison, or survived
its influence, Fngland stands pre-eminent. It re-
qeirei mole than the ordinary powers of Jacobin-
isni to make a people dissatisfied with a Constitution
had been for ages the envy of the world.
A I ;it; career of glory and prosperity had gained
it an inheritance in the esteem and affeatons f the
onion. A love and respaL transmitted from the
remotest ages, had encreased in the present genera.
ti in to a kind of holy fervor, which allowed cot even
possible existence of defect in the object of their
admiration. But even in England, the revolutionary
at .s were too potent and too resolute in the attack,
to experience di-Jai:Tr without inflicting some injury.
Loyalty and patriotism were victorious, 'out they did
not return without loss. The field was nobly won ;
but in some places the crops were destroyed, and
the fences broken down. The Government has
stood, but the necessities of the state have required
burthens and privations which damped, in the breasts
of some individuals, the enthusiastic love of their
country, that used to be the universal charter of
Bri'ons. It became, therefore, the duty of the
Government, that would revive that patriotic ar-
dour, when it was extinguished, and preserve it
where it still !lees, to chew that the Government
was made for the people, and not the people for the
Government ; to sliew the peasant that he paid taxes
nut to swell the pride and gratify the appetites of
minims in power, but for the preservation of his
own liberty and independence. A wise, an econo-
mical, and patriotic administration of the public
money, will always prove itself in its effeets, but
the people are not always capable of :lodging of
sound political wisdom, They may mistake ava-
rice for economy, and liberality for profusion. Sel-
dom has such an opportunity of proving the purity
of the Constitution and the Government, in a light
so striking and convincing as that which the case of
Viscount MELVILLE yesterday presented. In him the
public have a proof that rank, talents, influence, and

connenions,all united, arc unable to divert the course
of justice. In Viscount NIEL v 1.1. z the Public will
see that, in this country, there exists but one law for
the rich and the poor, with this difference in the
punishment, that the higher the delinquent the more
violent the indignation excited by his crime. If a
case were to be selected on purpose to illustrate
this position, it would be the case of Viscount
Mxt v Lin. Ire was defended, not only by all the
talents of the Minister, but by all his influence
and address. It is well known. that the Mi-
nister at first thought the case strong enough
to permit him to propose a Secret Committee as
an amendment to Mr. WnuTMM AD'S intended mo-

tion ; and that he hoped, by reducing it to a Selefl
Committee, he would have a decided majority with
him: yet Viicoont sLv L LE, thus supported and de-
coded, was condemned by the vote of the House of

Commons. Of the interesting Debate upon the oc-
casion, we yesterday gave as full a report as the li-
mits of a Newspaper would allow. Several eloquent
and able speeches were, bowevet,necessarily omitted.
Amos these was the speech of Mr. Wmacavosca.

virtuous exertions by the name of cant and hypo-
4risy. The SPEAKER, who had the manly mi-
rage to give the casting voice against the Mi-
nister and his friend, should not go without the
thanks of the country. The loobins have set down
in their list the SPEAKER of the House of Commons.
as the creature of the Minister. Mr. Wicact-
roftee and his friends have also been the sub-
jeds of their low and vulgar abuse.---It would '
be difficult to convey an adequate idea of the
sensation which this event yesterday produced
in every part of the town. The most splendid vic-
tory over the external enemy could not excite any
thing like the enthusiasm created by this triempls
over a corrupt Minister. In every part of the
town, groupes o.' people might be seen congratulate
ing eac:l other upon this brilliant proof of the ex-
istence of that constitution, which had been repre-
sented as in decay and requiring reform, in all its
Pristine vigour, health, and beauty.
Upon the delinquency of Viscount Mscvitce we
shall make no comments. "We war not with the
dead." The fate, however, of a man, who so long
tilled so large a space in this country, will long re-
main a so,:rce of interest. It was reported that
this •Cardinal Wot.sr.v, anticipating the suertss of
the motion this day fur his removal by Mr. Wats--
BREAD, bid adieu yesterday to the vain pomp and
glory of the world, and sent in his resignation. •
We believe the report to be corred. Wtts.lAM
BUDGE, Es.q. his Lordship's private Secretary, was
yesterday appointed one of the Commissioners of
the Vidualling Board. in the room of C. Semites,
Esq. The measure way generally understood as the
precursor of his Lordship's removal. Rumour has
already giren to his LoAship several successo-s.
The Earl of Wesr mon ibstio, Viscounts SIDNIOI,TH
and CASTI.F.REAGH, and Mr. Your, have been
severally mentioned.
it was not only among the people at large that
this event produced a great sensation. The com-
mercial world also acknowledged its influence. The
funds yesterday experienced a considerable rise,
upon the presumption that Viscount Mecvicces
fate would draw after it the downfall of the present
Administration, and the substitution of one more
favourable to peace.


It was reported yesterday un 'Change, that the
communication carried on between this country and
Holland, by means of neutral Rags, has been
stopped by order of the Batavian Government. The
cause has not transpired, but it is believed that the
stoppage will not last very long.

We have received Paris Papers to the 47th last,
and Ditch Papers to the 4th instant. The former
are chiefly filled with the speeches made by the Pre-
sidents of the Senate and Council of State, at the
Imperial Levee on the 23d; and of the ceremony
at the baptism of the young Prince Narottov
Loris. The office of consecrating the Karr'
as King of ITALY is to be performed by Ca u.i...1
