Our fling, Con6titution an ati36.

MONDAY, JUNE 15, 1818.

thous early times were not acquainted with our modern
idea of conferring on the popular representation a kind
of continued senatorial dignity, without re-election, for
several years together ; whereas he certainly must have
known, that this corrupt modern practice has produced
a new order of men amongst us, a most. dangerous in.
crease of aristocratical power, which was entirely un-
known to our ancestors in the glorious reign of Edw.
111. If he could show that there ever was a Parlia-
ment in those times, that was not a new Parliament,
his comment might he justified. But it is notorious that
writs were issued to the SheritTs for new elections, al-
most every year during that whole reign. The writs, for
the most part, are still preserved with the returns upon
them. In the catalogue of election writs, which Prynne
has given in his Breuia Parliarnentaria Itedivia, p. 4 to
6, there is an account of Writs issued for new elections
in every year of that King's reign, between his 34th
(when the last Act for annual Parliaments was made),
and his 50th year, except 9, viz. the 40th, 41st, and
58th years ; in which years the records of Summons to
the Prelates and Lords of Parliament are also wanting,
as appears Ly Sir William Dugdale's Perfect Copy of
Summons to Parliament, of the Nobility,' &e.
‘• And yet this affords no absolute proof that Par-
liaments were not held in those very years for which
the writs arc wanting ; because the bundles of writs
for the said years have been lost or mislaid. The
only wonder is, that more have not been lost, when we
consider the very little care that had been taker. e
them ; for Prynne found many of these writs dispersed
amongst a vast miscellaneous heap of other records on
various subjects (as he himself relates in his '..pistlesDe-
dicatory to King Charles 11. of his Brevia Parliamenta-
ria Rediviva). calling the said heap a confused Chaos,
under corroding petrifying cobwebs, dust, and filth, in
• the darkest corner of Climes Chapel in the White
Tower, as mere useless Relique.s not worthy to be ca.
letrired," &e. And, in p 103 of that same work, he
speaks of I t 7 bundles of writs, whereof 97 had only
been then lately discovered. filed and bundled by him-
' self; But many. of the-se 117 bnndlcs," (say: he),
' are not compleat, about half or three parts of the writs
being either rotted, consumed, maimed, torn, or utterly
lost, through carelessness.wet, cankers, or other casual-
ties ; and some of them have not above two, titre or
four writs, and one or two but one writ and return re-
_ _

" But that there were really writs for Parliaments,
even in those three years, which appeAr to be wanting,
at least in two of them, is very certain ; because it was
in the 40th year of his reign, as Sir Edward Coke in-
forms us, (4 Inst. p. 13), that the Pope demanded ho.
mage for the kingdoms of England and Ireland, and
the arrears of revenue granted by King John to Pope
Innocent 111 whemtpon the King, in the same year,
calleth his Court of Parliament,' &c. as Sir Richard
Coke proves from the Parliament-rolls of that year,
No. 8, remarking. at the same time, that the Act then
made was never yet printed.' See the margin, hth
Inst. 13.

•° And it appears that a Parliament was held also in
the 48th year of this reign, because supplies were in
that year granted to the King by Parliament, as related
by Sir Richard Baker in his Chronicle, p. 173, viz.
in his eight and fortieth year, in a Parliament, is
granted him a 10th of the Clergy, and a 15th of the
Laity.' So that there is but one year, out of so many,
in which we cannot trace the meeting of the annual
Parliaments. And annual writs fur new elections were
regularly issued for the first 18 years of the following
reign (as appears by Prynn's 2d part or a brief Regis-
ter and Sarvcy of the several kinds and forms of Par-
liamentary Writs,' pages 116 and 117), till Richard 11.
(that wretched perjured monarch), had rendered him-
self absolute.

" After considering these unquestionable evidences
of the issuing writs am:wally for new elections, it will
be difficult to comprehend thr meaning of Sir William
Blackstone's Comment an the ...lid twi) Acts for annual
Parliaments. Not that he (the King) is, or ever was,
obliged by these statutes to cail a new Parliament
every year ; but only to permit a Parliament to sit
annually for the redress of grievances and dispatch of
basiness,lf need be. These last words' (says he) 'are
so loose and vague, that such of our monarchs as were
inclined to govern without Parliaments, neglected the
convoking them, sometimes for a considerable period,
under pretence that there was no need of them,' &c.
" But thcsc last words' art not so loose and rai,;t.:

PRICE 90.

as either to justify his own explanation of the raid
statutes, (viz, not to call a new Parliament every
year, but only to permit a Parliament to sit,' &c.) er
to excuse. in the least degree, the criminal neglects of
thane depraved monarchs who were inclined to govern
without them ; fur the words, if need be,' cannel,
according to the most obvious sense of the Act wherein
they are found, he applied to the main purpor.e of the
Act. (the helding annual Parliaments), but merely to
the remaining part of the sentence, viz. and m.si•f;
often ;' that is, and more often, it' need be.' The
order, that a Parliament shall be holden every year
once,' is absolute, and the discretionary power, expressed
in the words ' limed Le,' relates apparently to the cal.
ling Parliaments 'more often;' for, it' the said discre-
tionary words, if need be,' could, with any propriety,
be applied to the whole sentence, the Act itself' would
have been nue atory ; which could never have Leen the
intention of the legislature: but the true meaning and
sense of the legislature is very clearly proved by the
histories of those times; for it is manifest, nut only
that New Representatives were elected every year (with
only one exception), fin a considerable number of years
after the la .it of the said Acts was made, (which con-
firms the main purpose of the Acts, viz. the halding
annual Parliaments), but is also manifest, that Parila-
meats were frequently held ' more often' than once a
year, which amply confirms also what I have before
said, concerning the meaning of the discretionary
power, expregcd in tile said Act, by the words ' if
need be.'

" These very frequent elections (sometimes two,
three, and four times in one year), sufficientlytairove
that the power, delegated by the people to their repre-
sentatives, continued no longer in force than during the
session of the particular parliament to which they were
summoned ; which being once determined,' (ices
Prynne. Ist part of Brief Register, &e. of Pail. Writs,
p. 334), they presently ceased to be Knights, Citizens,
burgesses, Barons, in any stieceeling Parliaments ye
Councils, unless newly elected, and returned to serve
in them by the King's New Writs, as our Law Books),'
referring to 4 Edw. IV. f. 44. Brook, Officer, 23, 34
Hen. VIII. c. 24.) and experience resolve,' &e.
And therefore Judge Blackstone's insinuation, against
the calling of a new Parliament, has no real founda-
tion: for, if it was the intention of the Legislature, in
tae two Acts above-mentioned, that the King should
ever summon any Parliament at all, they must necessa-
rily be understood to mean a new Parliament on LI
occasions ; i. c. not only that the regular Parliaments,
which they ordained to be holden every year once,'
should be new Parliaments, but also those that should
be summoned upon any extraordinary unforeseen occa-
sions; which is sufficiently expressed in the Ist of the
said acts, by the words, and more often if need be.'
The meaning of the act is unquestionably proved by
the actual issuing of writs, to the Sherifli, for electing
knights, citizens, &c. for two, three, and sometimes
four new Parliaments, in one year, as mentioned above.
And if any person should object, that such very fre-
quent Elections must be attended with insuperuble
difficulties and inconveniences, we may quote the ex-
perience of all ancient times, as &Winding ample and
sufficient proofs to the contrary; there being not
above two or three cases of Elections questioned, or
complained of, from 49 Hen. 111. till 22 Ed. IV ;
(that is, more than 200 yeers,) thr ought that typeei
by the retornes or Parliament-rolls, and not so mile!iss
ONE double retorne or indenture wherewithal all tie
late bundles, or writs, are stored, and the House of
Commons, and late Committees of Privileges pesterea,
perplexed, to the great retarding of the more weighty
public affairs of the King and Ks ti,;.:l(nn.' Prenue,
Brevis furl. Ilediv. p. I'i7. This enormous evil, Ole .
retardment of business, by undue returns, will not tl
may venture, without the spirit of prophecy, to assert),
be remedied by the new regulation lin- that purese.
The Commons were never (iu ancient times of freedom)
esteemed the proper judges of their own elections, but
the King alone, that is, in his limited judicial capacity,
by his Justices amid his sworn Juries, in the Ctearts of
Common Law. If my countrymen will seriously con-
sider ail these points, they must be convinced, that the
only true method ulhealing the alarming distempers of
our political Constitution is to restore to the people
their ancient and just right to elect a new Parliament,
every year once, and more often, it' sited be.'"

LONDON;
MONDAY, JUNE 1.%

THE Paris Papers of Wednesday last arrived yester-
day. The French Funds continue their progress up-
w•arda. At one time on Tuesday, the 5 per Cents.
were 74f. l Oc. and they closed at 73f. 90e. ; thus yield-
ing already a tolerable profit fur the contractors for the
Loan.

These Papers contain a convention 'Concluded between
Louis XVIII. and his Sicilian Majesty, which was
ratified as far bads as the 6th of March, 1817. The
object of the Treaty is to remedy in behalf of the latter
Sovereign, certain inconveniences which arc felt by his
subjects in their financial, maritime, and commercial
interests, from the existence of various privileges and
exemptions claimed and enjoyed by Frenchmen. His
Most Christian Majesty, therefore, consents to abolish
al the privileges and exemptions which his subjects,
their commerce, and their ships enjoy, is the Sicilian
Jorts, in virtue of the Treaty of the Pyrenees, that of
Aix-La-Chapelle, 1668, and subsequent ones, provided
that his Sicilian Majesty does not allow similar privi-
;eges to any other nation. I lis Sicilian Majesty further
tneages,that the subjects of France shall not be liable
to more strict duties or search, than are exercised to-
wards his own subjects; and the commerce of France
414 to be put upon a tooting with that of the most
favoured nations. The fifth article provides fir the
personal privileges and protection of French subjects
P•siding in the Sicilian States. Dv the seventh, his
Sicilian Majesty engages to make; in favour of France,
ari dating from the day -of the publication of this
Treaty, a reductica of 10 per cent. upon the ann'uat of
imp art duties aud taxes payable according to the tariff
of Jan. is', 1816. His Sicilian Majesty. howev,..-,
reserves the right of granting a similar relief to the
commerce of other nations, if he shall see fit to do so,
A sep.trate article is Adetl, explaining more precisely
the amount of reduction contemplated, and anodic:-
separate article, dated the Ist of the present month.
reciprocally abolishes the druid d'aubailie, and other
siosilio.r claims, over the property, &c. of fore*nir3.

Paris Papers rf Soodny last rytve come to band.
On Saturday, betiire Mass, the Duke of ‘VelliaL:ton had
a privat.i audience of iris ,liijesty Canatois
Lc-
maire, who has for three months been detained in tire
prison of the Itladclonettcs, to iniplictited in the
att.:lnpt to assassint.te his Gr has bean set at liberty.
These Papers contain an extract from a will of the late
Prima: of Conde, dated Wr anstead, SO6 ; in which,
aster thanking the Almighty for preserving him amidst
the hurrurs of the Revolution, he prays the King not
to forget the comttancy t.rul valour of his companions
in arms, thanks God that he has not the smallest idea
of vengeance against his ene:nies, and hopes that the.
mercy and cletrum,•y of the King will sooner or later
bring them back to these principles which can alone
make France happy and tranquil. " Although it may
be honourable, he continuer, to be bark,' at Westmin-
ster, yyt I positively demand to be interred amorr the
French Emigrants faithful to God and to their ICtri."
The Count de Noinville died lately at Paris, rt.:,,ed
30 years. He was the companion in arms of the late
Prince of Conde, and a descendant, by the mother's
side, of that " mirror of knighthood." Bayard, the
" fearless and irreproachable."
The disputes su long subsisting *between Bavaria and
Baden are said to be smeothei away through the me-
diation of Amtril.

A telegraphic clispaoch r.nnoincel on Satin-lay, that

ceding Wednesday at Aibi, for the murder of the Sicur
Fualdes.

The dispatches from India, were pelilished on ' on-
day in a supplement to the London Gazette ofSatitt- ,
day. The principal military transaction related is the
battle between Sir Thomas Hislop end the army ofe
Holkar, on the '2lst of last December This engage-
ment was over iu three hours, and ended in the cap-
ture of the whole of the enemy's artillery, and the
entire defeat and dispersien cf his army, with a loss of'
3,000 men. The cueduct of Brigadier Gen. Sir JAn
Malcolm, who commanded the advance under Sir T.
Hislop, and led the assault on the left of the enemy's
line, called forth from his Excellency the highest en-
comituns, and the warmest admiration of the whole
British army. The greater part of the proceedings of
General Doveton against the forces of the liajah of
Berur, which finally resulted in the capture of Nag-
poor, and in the submission of the whole country to our
arms, have been fur some time before the public. T. c
less, however, sustained by Gen. Doveton in an un-
successful attack upon the palace of Nagpoor, appears
more serious than we had been prepared to expect The
attempt to storm beineh made on the 21th of Dec.
was completely repulsed by the Arabs, and other troops
in the service of the Rajah, who killed and wounded
above 300 of our men, including 04 Europeans and
10 officers. On the 30th of December the Arab gar-
rison evacuated the city, on certain conditions, when it
was forthwith occupied by the British troops. Our
Government, as was stated in former dispatches was in
possession of the Rajah s person.
In addition to the facts cetuumnicated by the Gazette,
the Calcatta Gazette of the .el of February, presents ac-
-1 counts of a series of distinct successes obtained by de-
tachments of the British troops over many of the Pin-
darree Chieftains, to the northward of the river Ner-
budda. Headed in all direction; and almast surrounded
by the co-operating divisions of the Generals Dunkin,
Marshal Sir William Keir, and Colonel Adam, the
Pindarrees, with the loss of much of their baggage, he-
took themselves towards Holkar's camp: hut having
intelligence of the treaty negociuted by that leader with
the British Government, they moved to Rampeora,
where it is said, they were attacked by General Brown,
and dispersed without resistance. Cheetoo, the richest
and mast pewerCu'_ of these plunderers, whose imme-
diate followers lied had a principal share in the former
invasion of the British territories, was attacked by Sir
William keir on the 6th ef .January, where lie lust five
guns and a portion of his baggage. The main body of
the Pindarrees were reported to have fled in the direc-
tion of Oudeypoor. Cheetoes force was said to have
been beaten and plundered near Shapoorah, where his
brother was taken prisoner, and he himself escaped with
only nine fiAlowers. General Smith had an action with
Appagee, a Surdar of the Peishwe's, who dud, but in
vain, to the tort of Chemeenta The fort was carried
by escalade, when Appagee, with several other officers,
were made prisoners ; and 70 guns, 8:3 elephants. a
number of fine horses, and great quantities of treasure
were taken. In no park of India does it appear from
these statements, that any formidable opposition aul
menaced the projects of herd Hastings ; nor, indeed,
• should we supiose that the victories of our arms had
• left leech more in the way of hard fightiog to be ap-
prehended throughout the continent of India.

Fourth Report. This is no very flattering picture,
either of the state of the finances of the country, or of
the exertion of roisters to reduce the expenditure
within the income; nor is the prospect very much
hrightTzed with regard to the present year, far the pm-
bablo expenditure tbr 1818 is ant only equal to the re...
teal expenditure of 1817, Iplt exceeds, hy nearly Oar::
millions, the estimate of the Cenunittrae. The Repose,
however, endeavours to raise our spirits, by represent-
ing u proiraba excess of' revenue for 1819. It supposes
the entire expenditure fur the year entlin4 the sth of
January, 1820, will amouut to fili3OtiB.ooo!. in which
is in:gilded fbr the reduction of the National Debt,

ing compared with the estimated revenue, amounting
to 52,5W,0001. there will ap, ear to be a balance of
1,41J,0001. of income beyond the probable expenditure
This result is iudependent of any extraordinary charge.
Wednesday, in consequence of the Regent going in .
state to prorogue the Parliament, the Imperial Crown •
was removed from the Tower of London to the House
of Peers. The streets from the Horse Guards to the
Parliament [louse, were covered with gravel ; and the
State Atte:is:it:its were assembled at t-A. James's Palace
sonn after one o'clock. The Prince Regent arrived in
his private carriage at the Palace about half-past one
o'clock. His Reytd Highness was received by the Lord
Steward of the Household ; Lord Amherst as Lord its
Waiting; Sir John Craddock, Groom in Waiting ; the
Master of the Horse, the Master of the Robes, &c.
There were four carriages and six, ones with a set of
beautiful Meek horses, and three with bays decorated
with crimson ribands. The eight beautiful cream co-
loured horses were decorated on their maues and harness
with light blue ribands. Heger. wore a Fall
Marshai's uniform, decorated with his numerous Oislers.
He ‘s se attended in the state carriage by the Doke of
Montrose, as Master of the Horse, and Lord Amherst.
as the Lord iw Waiting. The procession began to
move from Palace-yard at a quarter befbre two o clock,
the band of the Guards playing God save 11w King.
The weather being remarkahly tine, a greater concourse
of people were assembled than we recollect on any
furnace occasion. His Royal Highness entered the
House of Peers at six minutes after two o'clo,k, which
was announced by a royal salute of cannon being dis-
charged by a signal from the roof of the House of Peers
to the Lambeth shore. His Royal Highness returned
from the I louse and entered the state carriage at 25
minutes before three o'clock and the procession re-
turned to St. James's Palace in the same order as it
went, and was generally cheered by the populace. His
Royal Highness seemed oppressed by the heat : but
otherwise appeared in very good health and spirits
The new King of Sweden. in his speech to the States,
on the 20th ult. laid down the policy which be intends
hereafter to pursue. " My object," he observed, " will
be, to place you in the scale of a happy, ra her than of
a conquering nation.—" Our policy and interest," he
ontinued, " will induce us never to interfere with Fo-
reign States, while any duty and your dignity teach
that we should never permit any fbreign interference
with our own affitirs." These are promises :aid truths
which cannot be denied ; but history furnish, san in-
structive lesson upon the good intentions of Kings.

I he arrival of Major Moodie, with dispatches for
Lord Bathurst, from Sir H. Lowe, at St. Helena, has
excited some speculation in the City, coincident as it
is with the account of the landing of a sailor at
that island. The sailor had been one of the crew
of the Northumberland man of war, which car-
ritd Buonaparte from Eurape to St. Helena, and its
that situation had formed as scquaintance with Buena-
parw's servants. This sailor afterwards became one of
the crew of an East Indiaman, which being at St. He-
lena, the sailor, in the night, contrived to swim from
the vessel, clamber up the rocks, visit, and pass some
hours smily among Buonaparte's domestics. This he
did two several nights ivithont being discovered or
noticed ; but in conversation on board of ship he boasted
of his adroitness, and told confidentially to his mess-
mates what he had done Knowledge of the transac-
tion transpired: he was arrested and examined, and
conducted home to England in confinement ; but it
has not appeared that he had any sinister intention, or
more in view than an innocent frolic. It is not be-
lieved Buonaparte knew of his being among his servants.
However. the occurrence is supposed to have demon-
strated the possibility of Buonaparte s escape on board
of any English vessel, the Captain of which might be
inclined fir a bribe, or otherwise, to convey him to
Europt! or America. Indeed, it is reported several
such occurrences have taken place at St. Helena, as
have iodated Sir Hudson Lowe to declare to the Go-
vestment at home. that it vessels are allowed to conic
to i hat island as a present, he carnot answer for the
security of his pri oner. It is reported in the city that
Major Moodie is come home to make representations
lon this sulject, and it is supi•nse another place of re-
Ifreshment will be assigned tin. our East I ntliamoi.
