" These remarks (in my view not unimportant, but
such as they are) I offer to your consideration, To me
it appears that the warning our history holds out, is at
this moment entitled to your peculiar attention—that tt
should be received as the solemn communication of a
departed friend to his snrvivor to reveal the designs of an
enemy against his life. Perhaps I may err in any esti-
mate of your danger. hitt when I compare the pat t with
the present, I cannot but tremble at what is possible.—
I have before my eyes the mournful soeciacic of the hu-
miliation that may hefal a once proud and generous
nation. I know that uis asked among you, " what has

to ask such a question is to confess your ignorance
of It. r conditioe. We are now in a state in
which, ors such a subject, silence is wisdom. We dare
not provoke the retaliation which the display of any
inspriulent sympathy with you might bring clown UllO4l
us. But du not therefore imagine that we are luokina
on with hearties* tincouccrn upon your struggles.—
Were there nothing else thou the late affront offered to
one of the most respected of your nobility, that alone
would have put the heart of every honest trish.i.an nt
motion. We do not forget that it was Lord l'itzwilliatts
who once came to us the messenger of peace and free-
dom. Ile would have humanized our commas—he
would have checked the aggression of a despotic faction
—he would have made the interests and rights of the
subject I,h,e roloof his administration, and therefore he
was sacrificed. That an occasion should be taken of
exacting (rem him a further expiation nved ito sorprise ;
as the friend of inland, he owes a long atonement to
the political heirs of Mr. Pitt, which you may be certain
was nmoverlooked by the advisers of his recent dismissal.
Under these circumstances we should not have been
slow to 'emitting to such a man, and to the cause in
which• he is embarked, our homage and support.—
Yet, though our tongues may be tied, our hopes and
prayers are wilt that cause. Every rational mind in the
country sees that its dearest interests are indissolubly
blended with yours. We 'nay have found ourselves
hound to abstain from all interferet.ce in those particu-
lar plan.; of reform upon which your own opinions are
divided i—utu one deep persuasion is, that the lovers of
a free constitation among you, by whatever mane you
may be called, are those to whom alone we can in every
emergency look up for protection and redress.

NATIONAL GOOD.
FROM A PAMPII LET JUST PUBLISHED.]

"As the desire of travelling and spending their
time and property abroad has increased amongst the
nobility and gentry—in the same degree has con-
tempt 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 situatiati
to which we are reduced ? It is most undoubtedly
national good that ought to sway the proceedings of
the principal men in the nation,. inasmuch us the
good they possess cannot be permanent 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 outlining 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 titan 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 th‘. travelling ictrapiiida. can
only be cured by a dance over half Europe, or at
least by a jig to Paris. Ife some of these bitten
ones will, like the traveller of Shakspeare's Maw-
sell their own lands to see other men s ; then
to have seen much and to Lave nothing, is to have
rich eyes and poor hands.' But if they should not
sell their lauds, by theia absence they impoverish
theta, which is much the same tiling; far 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 income of Lug.
land.. It has been calculated that forty thousand
hands are, by this wanton emigsation, thrown out
of employment in London ahme. To export one-
eighth of the nations' income ism subtract one eighth
of the emplo meat, by subtracting one eighth of
the demand—a grievous evil But to forbid such
emigration would be an invasion, it is said, of the
liberty of the subject, and these itinerants are suffi-
ciently rich and powerful to resist a tax on absentees,
which would be most soiu ail. Could, however, the
foolish rage for travelling and living in France tar
cheapness, b restraint d, much of the lack of demand
fur our own mattutactuies would be undoubtedly
removed by increased home consumption.'

perhaps, what is worse,. tiffeigu vice, and new till-

avidity in France. When some of these spendthrifts
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 (or exquisites), Frenchified in prac.
Lice, and, I am afraid, in principle also.
" Dr. Young, in 1744, said, As we arc at war
with the Power, it were well if we were at war with
the manners of France. A lend of levity is a land
of guilt—a serious mind is the native soil of every
virtue, and the single character that dues true hm.
nour to mankind.' Had the Doctor irmv ken
living, what would have been his feelings on this
subject?"
