,F MR. EDITOR,
lit is not only in the .Metropolis, but likewise in
Pierent parts of the country, that Debating Socie-
!s, or, as you have justly termed them, hot-beds,
l' sedition, have within these last two years given
I)nsiderable uneasiness to' the real friends of the
‘lritish Constitution., Indeed it is next to -irnpossi-
ile, that the leading charaders in these Societies,
nho, ii seems, are of similar habits and sentiments
4 those in London—freethinkers, men of desperate
FlrtiArie, or• avowedly disatfeded to the institutions,
ivil and religious, of this country, can engage in
'ny public discussions, of either a moral or political
• future, without either directly or indirealy corrupt,
2riig the moral sentiments of their ,audietice.s.;x4,,is„
islorthy of remark, that when THOMAS PAINE had
'ailed to produce a destructive anarchy in this entrn-
t_ry, by a direct attack upon the Constitution, 'he
, 'iiipi:osed it poisible to undermine the foundations
i): our venerably system, by an audacious and
slasphemons, though contemptible, attack on the
Is writ oracle. The ignorant dupes of this base ar-
kifice are far from being extina among us, and may
lie frequently found in these Assemblies, where
,
'they have, occasionally, opportunities,; not to be
'had elsewhere, of mixing with their discussions
!sentiments contemptuots, or indecent sneers at the-
'sacred writings, and holy institutions, founded
:upon them. And it is a matter of fad, that on mo-
•ral questions, decisions have been palmed on: their
thoughtless attendants, in opposition to the divine
sources, and perfect standards for human condu&.
This is a natural consequence -of their mode .of
discussion. Through an atfeaation for avoiding re-
ligious disputes, even..upon =Yeas on which re-'
• lieioyists _wee,. they will reason abstraaedly on
to; ict-, whiCh have rot only a divine sanction,
but a % the wisdom and experience of ages, like
their truth and. usefulness. In this til% • :like
children or tools, who, having closed
SCI .#6.shiiiterS'-
on the light of day, amuse themselves briViltAir
.
' • .n .1 ty'
Scrabble in the dark.
The least evil consequence of such a mode of dis-
cussing moral subjects, is that of weakening the re-
sped' due to Revelation in the minds of the young
and thoughtless-, who attend these meetings for the
sake of amusement.- This being effected, 'immo-
rality', sedition, 8,-.c. may be the final result, as is too
•
generally. experienced.
It should likewise be observed, that these So-
cieties are organised, and in constant training, hay-.
ing their. Presidents, • Secretaries, &c. and being a'
' Money-getting business, and the prinsAi)ratorsi
part sharers in the profits, they have:#.9fincteurSti-

their subjetts (in which, indeed, they tare net over
nice), to prevent alarm, it is impossible to be with-
out serious apprehensions of the movements of such
prepared machinery, and such principles,--at a more.
convenient season.

LONDON,

FEMAY,_ DECEMBER 30, 1,898.

GOVEIIN!IENT this morning received--Dikifatches

from Coruntra, dated the 23d inst. The most im-

po-;tant faa which they contain is, that 'a .junc-

Con has at let:gth taken place between the ar7

ivies of. Sir Joie` INlocaia and Sir DAVID BAIIID.

Their line extends from Benevento to Toro. Tire

Maltinis dc ROMAN A remained at Leon, with a force

of between 20 and 30,000 wen.

The • people of

dallicia and Asturias were all in the higlltitt;

A Gentleman of the name of LEE town
yesterday- afternoon : he was the bearer of Dis-
patches from 114 r. FR ERE, whom lie left at Talavera
on the 6th inst. Mr. LEE carne to England by way of
Lisbon. As soon as the Peas of the Soma Sierra was
forcal, it was deemed expedient that the Supreme
Junta should.rernove its Sittings from Aranjuez, as
they might there be exposed to the incursions of the
Enemy's cavalry. The Junta intended to repair in the
first instance to Truxillo, and, in case of necessity,
to Widajoz. Mr. LEE, we are happy to say, con-
firms the accounts which had previously reached us.
of the energy and determination which all ranks of
people in Spain continue to manifest. This Gentle-
-11.1 !II has not, we understand, brought any further
respeaing the operations of tine British Ar-
We think that before this howleVer,
tl.cy must have formed a juntaion.'bi3rthe,Fppid
advance of BUONAPARTE they are now placed almost
1' the :ear of the It'rench ; and we should suppose
that an Army of 60,000 men, of which 40,000
are .i3ritish Troops, acting upon the flank and rear
of ihe French, while they are opposed in front by a
, -
formidable army
_of regulars, assisted by an armed
population, woUld place BUONAPARTE in a very cri.
ticl hit uati-on. •

' The violence Of, 13.uoriapAitTE's, temper, and the
iadignation he telt against General IVl,atut,A, seem
tompietely to have got the better of ins judgment,
not only in the to movable interview 'which took

place before Madrid, but in the publication, of
conversation afterwards in a Bulletin. For a- man
ltlru calls hi►-Ist:it an Emperor, to abuse, :in .the"
grossest , terms,_ an Officer for loyalty to his Sove-
reign, certainly was not very decorous ; but t o commit-
nicate to the people of France the in which' that
, abuse was conveyed, seems to indicate either great fol-
ly or great forgetfulness on the part of his Imperial
Majesty. When the people of France read that 800
NAPARTE abused General MOR LA for not performing
the conditions of the Convention of Baylen, they will
naturally want some information about this s.iid
Convention. It is true BUONAPARTE did conde-

scend to tell his subjeCts that, 'owing to the
and incapacity of one of his Generals, he had
lost some troops. in the South of Spain, but of the
Battle of Baylen, of the Convention of Baylen, of
the surrender of Gen. DUPONT and .f 2 0,0 0 0 men,
the good people of France knew knothing till Btio7
NAFARTE.Iet the secret out in this dialogue with
Gen. MORLA. Another very interesting piece of,
intelligence which this Bulletin conveys to the
people of France is that, about. half a year ago,
the whole French Fleet which was in the harbour
of Cadiz was captured ; an event,which has not-0941Y,
not been direEtly mentioned, but• has never even
been alluded to in the French Papers. Perhaps in
some future fit of intvmperance mid passion BUON,A,
PARTE may condescend to givehis subjects a few de-
tailS respeaing the Battle of Trafalgar, about whiCh
he has hitherto preserved a total silence.

We understand. that the amended Report of the
Court of Inquiry has been submitted to HUI MA'.
JtSTY. From what .we hale heard, this. Report
does not recommend a Court Martial, or any father
proceedings in that Court, nor does it cast the least
refleaion On the condu& of the respeaive Com-
manders.

Whatever events may happen abroad; the'Oppo-
sition-Writers are sure to discover, or to insinuate,
Chat, some error is to be found at home, unless the
distant event is of a favourable nature, and then in-
deed those Writers will be very solicitous to prove
that Government have had no hand in it. Nay,
they will most probably maintain, that the fortunate
event, wlhateVer it may. be, would not have oc-
curred,' if- the Counsels of Administration had been
implicitly followed. The delay in the junction be- I
tweeu Sir JOHN Moons and Sir D. BAIRD, these
Writers say, appears to them " most extraordinary."
If then they consider it as extraordinary, and they
are unable to account for it, they must be rash and
foolish in venturing to make'any assertion upon the
subjeet: But though this protracted junction of the
British Generals appears extraordinary to the Oppo-
sition Writers, yet they confidently declare that
" the Public may rest assured. that there is some
cause for this unfortunate state of inadivity, altage
Cher foreign to the judgment and wishes of those two
gallant Commanders." Here then we might infer,
that this cause, foreign to the judgment and wishes
of the British Commanders, is foreign altogether as
to this country ; but that the Writers begin to ask
invidious questions, which shew that they ,are re-
.solved to discover some fault at home, to cast odium
upon Government, even upon a point which their
total ignorance induced them to represent :as.-". most
extraordinary."--" Is it, (say they) for want of
horses to draw their cannon, or are they cursed with
a Commissariat who can neither. make provision for
the Army, nor apportion the food among the troops
when it is procured, that they are thus divided " ThuS
then, what the Party Writers have pronounced." most
extraordinary," they have endeavoured to explain by
insinuations against Alinisters, and by reflections on
the Conuniyariat. these riters do not look for itn-
pediments to the expe&ed jundion in the posture of
affairs in Spain, in the arrangements and strength of
the Enemy, or in many untoward events which
'time will develope and explain. No, the fault must
lie :it the door of Ministers, or upon, the Corn-
missariat, without any consideration of the nnavoid-
abler ditftoulties and ob6tacles that may have arisen.
After these insinuations and relledions, however,
the writers think proper to add, that they do—not
say " it is.to either of these causes that Sir JOHN
Moons has been for three weeks at Salamahea, and
Sir DAVID BAIRD.HS long at Villa Franca," yet they
.•
still affirm, that this " apparent inactivity" is " most
unaccountable indeed." Why, then, do they not
wait till-Sir JOHN MoonE or Sir DAVID BATRD have
explained the cause of this " apparent inadivity
and when they do, we predid that.the Writers will
be satisfied with what Sir JOHN Moons .may say on
the subjea, however it may fare with Sir DAV).I3
BAIRD. •
