Resolved, That as on the one hand it would be improper

Mr. WADE, of Berbice, who lately arrived-in
this country from Norway, makes a very favourable
report of the disposition of the Norwegians tOwards
Great Britain but the despotism of their Danish
MaSters'terrifies -them from'any open avqwal of their
sentiments. The existing Government of Norway'
is vested in three persons, the Prince of HoLitEIN
SLESWICK; and the Counts Movrka and R 08424-.
CRANTZ. Mr. WADE describes the Prince as week,
capricious, and violent, but the Counts Mos.Taa and
RONENOANTZ are men of sound judgment and ex-
tensive benevolence. • The •intetior of Norway sut-
lers dreadfully from the want of corn but that lir-

it is extravagantly dear. No articles of British Ma-

time, ''orally Gentleman to procure anew coat iu
any pat tof the country. Bnt accotiling to this Gen-
tletnan's report, there ,is nothing that excites such
toad complaints as the scarcity of tobacco. Mr.
WAnE was arrested in Christiana, ott his way to
Russia, when the war broke out, and has received
the ttiost getwous treatment, both from the Govern•
anent and the people.

The Royal Assent by. Commission was on Satin

already arrived laden with stonl, for the purpose, an
every thing qgw bids fair for the accomplishment
so desirable In obje6t. That part of High-strei
so materially injured by the storm of January lanE
has been wonderfully improved by the erection of
new jetty, and the removal of the old bathing
rooms, which makes a considerable addition to th
width of the street. The packet-boats to and fro!

eighty passengers each trip;

Tna TIIRItTRE.—An. Mr. LEWIS, the ABor,
announced his intention of taking have of the stag.'

filled at an early hour, and a vast crowd that throne.

excellent Atior performed on this occasion was' Thi
Copper Captain, and his merits in it are so well
known, that it is only necessary to observe that I'4

private feelings, to leave upon the public ttiiiiti
vivid impression of his professional excellence. In'
deed, we never saw him support the part Willi More

YOUNO, who displayed the energy and good sense
which usually mark his tiding. After. the plaY.Wlr'

the following manner:—

Tuft address Lewis delivered with very strong
mat ks of agitation, but 'without any indication of
unmanly weakness. r He was heard with aniawlel,
silence, except in those parts which we have noticed;

Mi. TIMMY' s SPEECH.

. We were prevented by want of room from giving
Mr. TIERNEY'S admirable Speieh on Friday at full
length, and therefore take this opPortunity of laying
it before our Readers. Nothing can be more pointed
or more critre& than the observations of Mr. TIER..
NET upon the charaaer, the condtiet, and the ob-
jets of Sir FRANCIS Bneoerr and his associates,.
,Mr. TI.ERNIY said, if thedesign of .the Noble
Lord (Nrchester) . who bad just sat down, was to
prove himself an honest man, he might just as well
have remained silent, far certain persons would never
think either him or any one else so, who did not
fcquiesce in all the chimeras of the Honourable
aronet. It was the design of him and his friends
to excite such an opinion. among the people ; and he •
believed, in his soul, it was also their wish not to
have many supporters in that Houle, lest their de-
signs should tail, apd
,the public would begin to think.
too favourably of the House. It was t heir desire to raise
a poplar ferivent, by talking of abuses which often
bad no existence, and by vaunting of remedies
which they never meant to put in execution ! Far.
vas it from
.their thoughts to come manfully and
constitutionally down to that House and. state their.
.complaints, if any such•-they really had. No, it
suited them better to make harangues at taverns, to
mount the tables at the Crown and Anchor, to tell
- the people to'meet as:people, and look not
,for re-
dress to their Representatives', who were no longer,
lit to be called an House of Commons. It was their-
plan to raise a cry by which the infatuated people
might be hurried to their ruin, by hinting at corrup-''
tions which never had existence, and rousing ex-
peetations which never could be gratified. Now the
Honourable Baronet, '.whom he did not mean to de
signate as the leader of the party (a diitinaiou in his
mind due to others who did not choose to appear so
opeely as himself), had favoured that corrupt House
with his pure presence, be wished to per a few
questions rq him as to one of his reputed harangues
at the Crown and Anchor, which pointed pretty
plainly at his (Mr. Tierney's) charaaer. , Broadand
indelicate were the freedoms which had been used
with his name and.political life in the course of the
speech to which he alluded; and in one part of it
the worthy Baronet was actually represented as hay.
invite audacity to say, that on his (Mr. Tierney's)
Tr tiring from office, his pockets were filled with
Public money. Was this charge true ? He now de-.
madded of the worthy Baronet, would he dare to
repeat his assertion ?" If not, he would recommend
it to him not again to vilify the name and eliarataer
of an absent man ; or if lie did 'not so vilify it, to
take care that a corre& report of his real sentiments
should go forth to the public. How did he know
what effea such insinuation might have in the course
of the summer ? How could he hope not to be at-
tacked by some seditious mob, roused against him
by such unfounded calumnies Such au assertion
,was directly false, and he called on the worthy
Barottet either to deny or own it. He did nut know
bow the worthy Baronet could bring himself 'to
make such awassertion ; for his amiable manners in
private life, and hie conciliatory conduct, were pro-
verbial. .No Man could be more mild than he 'was
until he Mounted 'the rostrum at the Crown and
.Anchor--then all was changed—all was abuse, and
Xla..fare.as related to him, calumny. In this instance
OPI
~Aisity his design but his ignorance wasexposed ;
Ahdriprove it, be would offer the 'worthy Baronet,
,
.he wished to turn a penny honestly, some than-
lend pounds, provided tc would take on. him the
Ptofit and loss of his political speeulatiens. But
what.were. the worthy Baronet's, qualifications for
thisienertil censorship ? 'What had he ever done?
What, feats had he performed ? • Why,: indeed, he
had harangued the mob- and mounted the tables
most eloquently at the public taverns, He. had
never. warded off any 'real danger, but had fluttered
about durine, his public life, a politiCal sea-gell,
screaming at'id screeching/ and sputtering about 'fop'
weather which never arrived. It was true the
worthy Baronet had never been troubled with office;
the reasons for that might be various i perhaps the
cause might havebeea his ewn disinclination ; per=
.baps his immense fortune might have exempted' him
from its cares; or pettPs be bad never been impor-
tuned noon the subjtft. , Certainly lie' (Mr. Tier-
ney) had been in office; for lie had not such a for-
tune' as could support hint independently out of it,
end he would, pei-haps; be compelled to live upon
bleed and onions, when the worthy Baronet was
firing snmptnoasly. (a laugh.) As to his tavern ha-
rangues, they might go on for him long 3S the
ortity Baronet chose ; and he welcome to
tack whatever political changes Or tergiversations he
chose, in hii conduct--let him spout away--if the
*Pie believed it, well and goixl if not, why then
the worthy Barohet would enjey the applausea of
'Lie speech, and he (Mr. Tierney) would have the,
",atisfitaion to think nti one believed a syllable of it.'
'4" him' iii*Ount the. table, and cry, " They are-all
rogues and rascals, j ant the man for you, the
h n"e4t man ! We mtrsc lay the axe to the root.
w
e n'Llat have a radial reform." And then there
-)uld.he a general hai24, and the 'worthy Baronet
alight retire, covered with glory,,and highly delighted
at his Popularity. One Hon. Gent. of the worthy
Idaroutt's friends (Mr: We'clle)" had made a great
.discovery it appeared—lie was to demofish the In-
cOme Tax ! Now he liked this; indeed lie never
';r41,60 pleased in his life as when he tirstt bend of
"nt discovery. It Was the pleasantest way of laying
time axe to the root he had ever irnagin:d.---lie was
114re' it ‘vould gratify the Chandelier of the' Exche-
l'ithlr wonderfully to be able to.strike off eleven Mil-
-I'ous and a half of taxes. Now he had at last found
out the reakPft why the'Hotiourable Gentleman and
the Chaneellorof the Exchequer were perpetually
cbtriPlirnenting each other. No doubt they Were
Pulling together all this time, Indeed, if the plan
was realiseJ; it would' be exceedingly ;
but if it was only a fallacious assertion, held out for
the •wicked purpose of exciting discontent, it.. was
One of
't the vilest and most execrable hisinuatiorts,—
He now called upon that Honoprapie Gentleman to
Produce his plan, or stand convitted in the face of•
the world. As. to the worthy Baronet;:he also
called upon him solemnly to state the truth or falsity
of the expressions with which he charged him. He
might be superior to him in point of Wept or ability,
but superior he could not be
,in political integrity,
sothhe boldly challenged hint to a comparison of their
• lives,that their deeds Might speak their dem is, nerd
'Vile calemnintors become silent
