mere, and undergoing several severe courses of salivation,
and-twice discharged trom the Hospital, with little relief,
-would appear to be of the most inveterate nature, In-=ht

was very much discoloured, and gave me such exerntiat-

prive me of, rest; in this lamentable state, I was retorts.
,mended by Kr.- Thompson,. (who received so great sr
curea by them here), to take your Leake's Patent Pills,

„of a fortniakit, I began to receiac benefit—in . little more
than a ,month, the ulcers on my heed and antra were
soundly healed--aSOOO after, the sores on my legs healed
also; leaving, --however, conaruerable discolmiration in the
skin, and pain in the bone of the left, -which, by the Illes'a
i. Sing of God, and a little longer perseverance in your inva.
luable Medicine, subsided ; the nodes dispersing,. the skin
regaining its natural hue, and the 'n6E:tar-nal pains gradually •

can harbour a notion Of securing. the* first ,of.
these objecits without obtaining the second. They
who disregard it; either do not 'see the necessary
cqnnexion between liberty rend prosperity ; or, if
they see it,, they' neglea it.. :The error m either

, nexiqn deserves the attention of eVery just and mild
Gavernment..: -4 free arid cheerful people are always

more they love the.Goiernment under *whiCifthei.•
liVe, 'the better they obey it,.andthomore-cheerful-
ly and willingly do they contribute to its maintenaueF.,
and
.support. The greater .their enjoyments, .the
more they have to lose ; and the'more, therefore,
they fear any distnrbance, and the more they respell

In q onl, they strive more ardently to,bettertheir

fruits of their exertion. . If 'Ruch, then, -be- one of
the'chief,objeas of, a good Goyernment, why-is it-
'so disregarded among_ us ?..--,Even publiovosperityi

of the object in question ; for the power and strength
Pf.aState do not cOnsist entirely in 'multitudes or
ii_s.l:tes,--,bui. in the moral eharaaer of its inhabitants:
In In point of faa, can any Nation. be strong whose
subjeCts are we.,a,k, corrupt, harsh; "unfeelieg, • and
strangers to' all sentiment of public spirit and.pa-
' triotism ?;---On the other hand, a people who meet
often; and in .sectrity, in public, for the purposes of
diversion, must necessarily become an united, and
afieaionace people; 'they can feel what.a common
likely to sa-
.
intergst is, and are consequently less
. ,
crhice it to their own personal views and individual'
advantage. They have a higher spirit,. because they
are freer, a consciousness 'of which improves their
-notions of I-et:ll4l.de, and exalfs their. sentiments of
-honour and courage. Every individual•respeas his
-own class 'in such. a society,' because he respects
biniself--and be respepe that a others, as the hest
-mode of ensuring re-spe& for his, own. If once
-the people respect the Government; and the subor-
dination established by law; 'they regulate their. con-
dud by it, they grow attached'to the institutions of
their:country, and defend •them with Spirit—ebecause,
in so doing. they are convinced that they are defend-
ing then selves. So' clear is it 'that freedom and
cheerfulness are areaterenemies of disorder than snh•-
jeatton and melancholy- ' . .
" Let me not, however, be suspeaed of consi-
dering. a ?Magistracy orPolice, appointed to 'preserve.
the public peace, as in itself either useless or-oppres-
sive. On •the contrary, it- is 'my firm persuasion,
toot without such an 'institution, without its .unre-
ruitting viOlaece, neither tranquillity nor subordi-
reaien ' call be preserved. ~.I ,arn well aware that
license hovers on' the very confines• of liberty, and
that some restraint must be,devised to keep in those
who would pass.'the limit's. This is, indeed, the
reost delicate point in civil jurisprudence; and 'it is
this' that se tinny in:rudicieus..MagistrateS mistikeje
:by confoundieg vigilance with oppression. Hence,
at every festival, at every public diversion, or harm 7
'less aniusernent, they. obtredgeopon the • people the
ipsignia of Magistracy , and power: To judge.- by.
appearandes, one should suppose that their aim was.
to build their anthority un the fears of the subject,and fo purchase their own convenience. at the -ex-.
pence of the freecloni and pleasure, of the public....--, ,
. In :every other view such precautions are idle.. For

the Police in direct opposition to the vieWs of its in:-
stantien, only- eexe.s and molests, the.perons whoa n it

.. '." Such and my ideas -npon pepular diversions.
There is neithee. province not distriel, fewn nor' vil-
lage, brit has particular 'usages in 'its amusements,
' praetise,' either 41)in:tally,. or at particular periods of
the year: V3tIOUS exercises of strength, for instance,
:or teats of agility ; - balls too, or junketings-, walks,
holidays, disguises, niasl,i-egle and mummerieS.—
:Whatever their iliversions maybe, 'if they are-plah-
lice they \must be-innocent.. It is the duty then of 1
the good Magistrate to 'proteCt the people in theSe
inn* pastimes, to lay out an,d'keep ht .'order the i

places deStinNi for them, to. remove all obknies,
and to leave,the inhabitants at full liberty to, aban7
don thernseivej:tc; their boi§,terous merriment—their
rude but harmless effusions .of joy. If he al3oear
sometimes among there, it should be to encoayage,
not to intimidate them ; it should be like a father
gratified at'the mirth of his.children ; not like a ty-
rant, envious at the gaiety- of his slavq.
In. short, to return to our former-remark---the
people do not call upon the Government to di7
vert theni.,-. but merely 'to permit them to 'divert
themselves." , '

No Messenger had arrived in Town from Paris
when this Paper was put to Press.

WE understand that, in consequence of, the intel-
ligence brought by 'the Champion, respeding the
rete;an, JEROME BONAPARTE'S Ship, orders have
been sent doWn to Plymouth for the sailing of the
following Men_of War
sunder the command of Ad•
miral Louis, viz.

Guns.

Guns,

Theseus 74 Ganges -

. ,
Canopus - 74 Repulse'
Captain - - 74 Resistance Frigate' - 44
Malta - So Kingsfishzr Sloop of War,

for, the purpose of intercepting Admiral Gu4.-
LEAIJNIE' Squadron. It is generally believed that
the whole.of the French Squadron is' on its return to
TuFope ; for it very iinpi•obable that JExoME
should have been sent home alone.

The Captains of the Quebec Ships • taken by the
Veteran were informed that JEROME bad separated
froth thexernainder of the
.Squadron in the Gulph of
Florida, and that he was proceeding' to Europe.
with his single Ship Of Course no ieliance can he.
placed upon intelligence corning from such a quar-:
ter, and therefore the orders before-mentioned were.
sent to Admiral Loul,s"; and a Telegraphic.llispatch
reached the Admiralty yesterday evening, stating that.
he .had sailed. There is every reason to apprehend,
•
that before this time JEROME has been fortunate
enough to reach some friendly. Port.
Admiral GUILLEAUME'S Squadron was left on
the loth of July off Charlestown in lat. 32. 40. N.
long. 76. W. There is strong reason to hope that
he will be intercepted.

Yesterday morning the Duke of YORK transacted
business with His MAJESTY'at Windsor. Afterwards
HIS MAJESTY, .Dukes of YORK and CAMBRIDGE,
Princesses AuptrSTA. 'and SOPHIA; accompanied by
Lady THYNNE, attended by Generals CARTWRIGHT
and FITZROY, rode in Windsor Great Park, add re-
turned about twelve o'clock.'
,HER MAJESTY, Princesses ELIZABETH and AME-
,LIA, and Lady ILCHESTER, took an, airing in.. Her
Majesty's barouche, through Slough, Salt-Hill, Mai-
denhead, and back ; as did Princpss MARY and Lor4
ELY in the landaulet. Returned about half past two,
o'clock. •

Her Royal Highness the Prtncess of WALES en-
tertained yesterday a sele.-1 party to dinner, at
seat at Blackheath.

Thar Royal. Highnesses the
,DukeS of
CUMBERLAND, and SussEx, Lord SlDN.tot.rn, and a,
large party of distinguished Personages, dined yes-
terday with Sir B. WATsoN, at.his seat, East Sheen.
We stated on Wednesday that a Person Who holds
a situation in the Bank .had made a .direet charge
against a Noble Lord, conneEted with
,Adthinistra-.
tion, for having made,use of his official information
ta speculate in the Funds. We understand that the
Noble Lord, against whom this most serious accu-
sation was preferred, immediately gave dire&ions for
d. prosecution against the accuser.. We have heard
several more particulars respe&ing thiextraordinary
affair, but as it is likely to undergo a,legal investiga-
tion, 'it,iierhaps .now r be improper to state
t bent.

Mr. O'BRYEN is appointed Marshal of the Vice-
Admiralty Court at the. Cape of Good Hope._ The
Office is said to be of considerable emolutnenti/ and
not the least good part of the situation is, that it can
be" done by Deputy.
