Honour with quoting from that part of,the book which describ-

immoral or hi'hly dangerous tendency to the rising generatien.
It Wee not, hOweVer; 'in hntriorality alone that this work"
abounded. It was pregnant with doctrinee of the Mom revolu.

which errogated to itself, exclusively; the Noession of those
sentiments which struck at the existence of every well consti-
tuted flovernrnent, and endeavoured to attain Its object by
holding up to ridicule characters the moat venerated for their

and ferment revoWtion, in the works of Paine, than in the ful-
,lowing stanzas

" But never tnind:—` God save the King,' and Kings
For if he don't I doubt if men will longer,—
I think I hear a little bird who sings
The peopk by and bye`will be the stronger.
The veriest jade will wince whose harness wrings
So much into the raw as quite to wrong her,
Beyond the rules of posting,—arid the mob,
At last fall sick of imitating Job.
At.first it grumbles, then it swears, and then,
Like David, flings smooth pebbles 'gainst a giant,
At last it takes to weapons such as men
Snatch, when despair makes human hearts less pliant.
Then comes the
.tugof war'—`twill come again

I rather doubt;_ and I wouldfainsay ' fie on't,'

If I had not perceived that revolution
Alone can save the earth from Hell's pollution !"
Then to prove this author's sweeping denuncietion and ridicule
of everything moral or sacred, he need only refer his Honour to
the 26th stanza of the Bth canto, which was at follows !---
" I almost lately have begun to doubt
Whether Hell's pavement—if it be so ;data--
Must not have latterly bean nnitetiorn out ;
Not by the numbers good intent heth saved,
• ,But by the mass who go below withoiet
Those ancient good intentions which once shaved
And smooth'd the brimstone of that street-of Hell,
Which bears the greatest likeness to—Pall-mall."
The noble author might think all this very witty ; but his
Honour would say that it was only an apology for witticism,
and that his Lordship might have found a better subject
for the exercise of his talent in that way, than' by reviling
everything which the great mass of the people had always been
accustomed to reverence and respect. IThere were other pas.
sages, which were of a description so obscene, as would, he
was certain, deter any father of a family from allowing the
book to be seen by his daughters. He need only refer to the
128th and following; stanzas of the same canto.—( The reading
of those stanzas excited much laughter, and drew a smile even
from the Court :)
He should only quote another passage, which showed still
more forcibly than that which he had, read before, how dem.
ed the Noble Lord was to the propagation of his revolutionary
rinciples. It was where the Ituesian General writes his did..
etch, announcing the capture of Ismail.
" He wrote this polar melody and set it,
Duly accompanied by sighs and groans,
'Which few will sing, I trust, but none forget it—
For I will teach, if' possible, the stones
To rise against earth's tyrants.—Never let it
Be said, that we will truckle unto thrones ;
But ye—our children's children ! think how we
Showed what thing: were before the world was the;
That hour is not for us, but %Is for you,
And as, in the great joy of your
You hardly will believe such things were true,
As now occur, I thought that 1 would pen you 'ern.
But may their very memory perish too !
Yet if perchance remembered. still disdain you 'em,
. More than you scorn the savages of yore,
Who painted their bare limbs, but not with gore,
"And when yon hear historians talk of thrones
And those that sate upon `them, let it be
As we now gaze upon.the mammoth's hones,
And wander what old world such things could ire,..:
Or hieroglyphics On' Egyptian stones,
.The pleasant riddles of futitrity....:
Gnessing at what shall happily be hid
As the real pUrpose a pyramid."
The author, he had no dOubt, had imagined to himself such a
litillenittna as would' sweep away di' the existing orders of
society; and .if his writings,had the effect which be and his
votaries anticipated front them, there was no doubt that
there would be another Revblution, as dangerous and as
sanguinary as the French Revolution, upon which his Lord.
ship looked as the beau ideal of a. peefeet government. It
was well knoWn' that his present publishers were as much
devoted to the dissemination of Revolutionary prieciples as'his
leorelehip bitnaelf; but there wai another object to which' their
patriotism, as they ca 11,41 it, must give way, and that wa5.....
their desire to make money,' If this were not the case, why
did they net, like their great prototype .Paine, allow the in-
waeteminete publication of their works, and thus give a greater
eireulation to their' dothitibs i' Whatever might be their inn.l.
titres, however, he trusterthis Honour would sett the propriety
of following, the principle laid down by the Lord Chatioellore
when he refused to grant an injunction to Mr. Lawrence, whose
i work WAS couched n scientific language, read Only by scientific
persons, and .consequently much less -calculated to do mischief
than the present irublication, which was clothed in all the beau.
tiful language of the tine but most immoral poet of the age,
and which made its approaches in a manner the most calculated'
to make MI impression on the youthful imagination,
from the easy style of the versification, that impression was not
'likely to be Noon effaced. The. Defendant concluded by thank.'
inghis Honour for his indulgence, and requesting him to rend
.over the whole of the work, when he was stile lie would, per-
;reive that there was no ground for the present injunction.
Mr. WaxEr it eta said, that he should not occupy the ;then.'
tion of the Court very long in replying to the strong language
which the defendant had applied to the work of his Client. He
had complained of its immoral and licentious tendency; but
there was nothing, he submitted, even in thepassages which had
been selected to justify such a charge. It the justice of the ae-
cusation, were admitted in this instance, there was no work of
imagination, no novel, play, or romance in the'Engl6h language
which would not be equally liable to imputetion. Ire would
grant that; in reading this work, as in readintany other work
of the lighter kindt Rll impure and prurient imagination
would he apt ,to . discover meanings and detect meriting

LIFE of WM. DAWSON', Secretary of State, and Privy
Counsellor to Queen ELlZalittair. I3y NICHOLAS UARIL,
NICOL" EN. of the Inner Temple.
We are now called upon to notice a valtiahle
Ilistorien-Biofraphical. Work, relative to the
Elizabethan Era. ft is complied from MS. State
Papers and other documents,' on which the Ws-
torian may confidently rely, and will doulttless
be worthy or a prominent place among the many
productions relating to the reign of this heroic
QuPen.

The early history of Davirion is 'Very obscure :
but when he became connected with the Court
he shone conspicuously as an Ainbassador and, a.
Privy Counsellor. The tripterioult conduct of
Elizabeth With regard to the cruel execution of
the fair but unfortunate Mary qtteen of Scots*.
are, with great judgment, necessarily develop
in thesis Memoirs. The subject.. of them was ark
tool ent'ployed and instigated by Elizabeth,
Prevarications of the Queen respecting the sign-
ing of the warrant, and her subsequent contradic-
tions (when she knew it was past recovery) of the
very, orders Which she had before given, confirm
the assertionof Wellwood in his " Memoirs," and
other authors, that Davison was made the inno-
cent dupe of the Queen ; and that by his " over-
diligence" to please Elizabeth, as well as his zeal
for the Protestant religion, furnished. .a better
opportunity to his Royal Mistress, than she other-
ways would have bad, to," saddle him with the
odium of the transaction."
Th., question of the guilt. or innocence 9t. 1V Vary
is nbt in the slightest degree discussed ; nor are
Divisoti's sentiment's on the 'necessity of her de-
strUctiOn either approved or defended.
It has been argued that Elizabeth was com-
pelled, for her oiin safety, to sacrifice Mary ; even
admitting this,' why was her innocent Secretary
to be brought before the Star Chamber, tried
,for
" misprision 'alto! contempt," and heavily lined,
Only, because, he executed the orders of her Ma-
jesty. 'When Elizabeth foind that every me-
thod, to get rid of Mary by underhand asanssine-
dim, which could .be suggested either by that
adept in murder, the Earl of Leicester, or any
others, had been tried, and failed, slid was con-
strained to. act more openly, audliprefore de-
termined to make Davison her scope:, eui, or dip
sea info which she intended to drown her sins.
From pp. 78*to 94, we have the whole trans-
action of the signing of the warrint and Eliza-
,
betlt'S prevarications by which we learn that
by her Majesty's cononmltis the warrant was put
into, the lu of 'Davison hy Burleigh, for him to
get engrossed; and then taken to In r for her sig-
nature ; this he: did in a few diayys afterwards,
but the then refused toslgn, " berati4 the Scotch

desired, " reserved it till it morei convenient Sea-

after. - Hut deileg these siX weeks Dov:aon was
frequently remoostrated with, both by Leicester
and Burleigh, and once in- her Majeity's presence
by Burle4,); for hie,tiot taking it up innnediateiy.
Here is no overbastiness on' the part of Davison.
The strange rumours told by Lord' Heward, the
High Admiral, about Mary's (*ape, insurrec-
tions, Btc. (p. 76), induced Queen Elizabeth to
desire Lord Howard to send for Davison to bring,
tip the warrant.
The following extract will sheW the eagerness
of Elizabeth to sign the warrant
" She then asked him what he had in his hand, and wheel
he informedher that it was different Warrants and other things
for her signature, her Maje Sty demanded if the Lord Admi.
ral had not ordered him to bring up the, warrant for the Queen
of *OW execution r and on Davison's replying that he had
Spoken with his Lordship in the privy chamber, and un.
deratood train him that it was her pleasure that be shoUld
bring the warrant to her to sign, Elizabeth asked for it; and
immediately after reading it, called for pen and ink, signed it,
and laid it down by her upon the mats, and explained to him
that the motive whfch had induced her to delay it so long, was
her regard for her own reputation, that the world might perceive,
that, Itoweyer justly she felt provoked at kiary*tottences, yet
that if any other means could have been devised tot the seen.
thy of her own person and 4lf the state, she would have felt
extremely sorry to hate taken such a course; and tbat'lt'rear ht
been appear she had not induced "'violently" to adept this'
measure trout any sentiment of malice or revenge towards the
Queen of Scots."
The deep designs of Elizabeth,' in eildertvoltr.
rug to'sift the opinion of Davison, together with
his admirable answer on that occasion, are thus'
related •
Elizabeth then ironically demanded of Davison Whether'
he was not extremely sorryto see the warrant signed P he re,'
plied, that he was tar from feeling pleasure in the Wein tunes
of any one; and that, instead of wishing. the death of the
Scmuith -Queen, he could not be otherwise than, sincerely
grieved that aon of her rank and station, and one so nearly
related to her Majpers esty, should render so fatal a resolution ne. cessitry ; but that, as his Sovereign's life was in danger so lung.
as Mary lived, be thoaght every man roust beat. opinion that
she, could not defer the execution without-manifest ukitunice to
herself and to the whole realm •, and consequently he could not. feel sorry to see her adopt an honourable and just course for'
securing both; ond that he preferred die death' of the platy
rather titan the innocent. This answer the Queen appeared to
approve,"

Ni NT ARO, JULY 30.----This morning, at three
o'clock, the garrison of Barcelona made a sortie.
The principal attacks were directed upon a point
occupied by 9.00 Frenchmen. A strong detach-
menfof cavalry came ottt soon after, to sustain
the column of infantry. Our two hundred btave
fellows suffered the enemy to approach to within
half musket shot. Three discharges were suf.'
ficient to break the Constitutional ranks ; and
two 'pieces of cannon, masked by a hedge, hay-
ing played upon the cavtilry, the route was corn
They speak with admiration of the conduct of
Marshal Moneey ;in the brilliant affair of Jorba.

''Constantly in the midst of the fire, 'he received
no wounds, although several balls tore his clothes,

incredible. • • Now a General, and now a soldier,
he was seen gking "his, Borders with the greatest

We find in a letter from L'Orient, dated July
27, details as to the captivity of M. de Riche-
mond dfisr Bassins:—
. .
" Wp have had herefor some days the Counsellor of State,
Baron des Bas Sins 6 Richemoud, who for many years has
filled high stations in India and the Isle 'of Bourbon. lie ar-
rived in this port in a Spanish cartel, with the crews and pas-
sengers of 10 or 11 Frenekvessels, which had been taken and
carried into Corunna.. M. de Richcniond Was taken in the
vessel in which he was returning from ilia Isle Of Bourbon, by a
priVateer within sight of hand. It appears that it is to the in=
terference of Sir Robert Wilson, an English General serving in
the ranks of the Liberals of Spaiu, that :IL de Richetnond Is
indeb`ted for the cessation of his Captivity, which 'would proba-
bly have otherwise lastCd to the end of the War. The intention
of the revelutlimary General Vigo, Gdvernot of Corunna, was
to keep him as a hostage 'to answer for severities which might
be exercised towards the heads otitis party.
" Thewife of Gen. Qdiroga is also among the passengers in
the cartel. She waits, it is said, foi passports to go to Eng-
land."
