TO THE TWO HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.

MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN-10 your discharge
of the high duties which you are so speedily to
resume, the Empire expccts to find itself protect-
ed from the machinations of disaffected men.
These have acquired a shape sufficiently danger-
ous to demand your interposition ; but which
would be more dangerous if it were less tangible.
Since the enemies of our State have stirred at all,
it is well perhaps that they have gone so far.
Treason is more to be dreaded in its ambush, than
in its open array ;—we are the captives of the
tosser, before we know our peril; we see the

latter, and resistance is victory.
The Constitution requires her safety at your
bands. For that paramount object, all laws
which you enact are constitutional. Earnestly
therefore, and respectfully, I submit certain mea-
sures, to be by you propounded to the Sovereign,
and by him, / hope, passed into laws. These
may seem severe, but no peaceable man will dread
their severity; they will be the confidence of the
loyal, because they will be the terror of the dis-
affected. In exact proportion as the Radicals will
exclaim against them, so will the King's faithful
suhiects rejoice in their protection.
Instead of positively suspending the Habeas
Corpits Act, let the power of its suspension rest
in any five Members of the Privy Council sum-
rmeaed by the REGENT, until one month after the
meeting of the next Session of in

cases of Treason and Sedition cult', arid upc,n in
formation given before them on oath.

Magistrates ut the Quarter Sessions, or at
any meeting where tinee of the Quorum shall at-
tend, may call ou any person to give up his arms ;
and whoever refuses to give theta up, or sball be
found to lave kept back or subsequently obtained
any antis, shall be sentenced, upon summary coo-
vicrion, to a ccrt,iin imprisonment.

The said Magistrates should have power to
search for arms in any suspected Louse or other
palace, and carry the sante away.
Ali arms given up, should be restored at a pro-
per season ; but all which are seined should be
forfeited and tent into the King's stores. A Re-
ward to be paid to all persons giving information.
The seller of any alleged seditious or blasphe-
mous libel, against which a bill Las been found
by a Grand Jury, or infoctnation Uled by the At-
torney-general, before the same shall hate been
stied, ebould, upon summary conviction before a
Dioghtrate, be sentenced to a certain in-Triton-
Went, and ell the copies found in his possession
should he forfeited.

The teller of such libel, 'after a conviction bad
thereon by the verdict of a ?cat 7ury, tbouid be

raresporte4/.

AN persons assernh,ling rage than twenty in
windier, for the purpose or pretence of pe:ition-
ing the Regent or either House of Parliament for
the alteration or enactment of laws, or for the al-
leged redress of grievances, should be guilty of
ifigh Tre4ls-oil, uoLss such meeting shall be pre-
viously sanctioned by the written autbotity of at
least five Magistrates of the County or City in
which the said Meeting is held, and of the Quo-
rum : and unless, itt default of such authority, the
said tneeting shelf not disperse tvithio five minutes
atter any one Magistrate shall have reader caused
to be read the Riot Act.

No MOM witnesses eilOtetd be required in eases
of treason thau iu arty other cavital charge.
With these enactments, the zfety of the Coun-
try will be zecurerl. Without these ertactments,
shoiild be very sort; to be answerable for its se-
cud y. You, my Lords and Gentlemen, will do
your duty; unheedin;- the clamorous terror of had

For the prominent part take++ by Earl FlTZ-

he occupied as Lord Lieutenant of the %Vest Rid-
ing. lirleed, it was not likely that any cotdial
co-operation could be cupected between his Lord-
iki3d his :Nlajesty's Ministers, when he was
found An so conspicuous a station amongst the
opponents of the latter ; neither could any confi-
deuce be reposed in bins as to the faithful dis-
cliarge of the important office with which he bad
been entrusted ; when, regardless of the high re-
sponsibility attached to his situation, he could be
guilty of such a dereliction of duty as to bestow
the sanction of his name and authority to pro-
ceedings avowedly at variance with the Govern-
munt by which he bad been appointed, and
which it was his bounden obligation to sup-
port. Of his Lordship it may too truly be

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Saturday last. The following are extracts :
" Nuts, OCT. 30.—The King did not go out
yesterday; his Majesty transacted business in his
Cabinet. The King has experienced a slight in-
disposition, but his Majesty was better yesterday.
The Duke of Orleans had an audience of his Ma-
jesty for half an hour yesterday.
" The relations between the Spanish Cabinet
and the British Court become snore and more
intimate. A Courier front Madrid passed through
Bordeaux cia the 26th instant, on his way to
London.

" According to the last accounts from Spain,
the Queen was expected at Madrid the 21st inst.
The yellow fever was still confined t. it single
quarter of Seville, bat' it continued to make great
ravages at Cadiz.

U RATIIISOS, OCT. 21.-A detachment of Ata-

425 men. Tkey rnarche thin morning for

illayeuce:'

Boston Papers to the 3Orli Sept., and Pl►iladel-
phia to the 27th Sept., arrived this morning.

(From the Philadelphia Paper of the 15th Sept.)

WASHINGTON ClTY.—.Letters have been re-
ceived in this City from Officers on board the
United States' frigate Congress, of a late date.:---
12th July, the frigate arrived at Rio Janeiro,
after a pleasant passage : the 'Minister (Mr.
GRAHAM) and his family had landed.—The letters
speak rather unfavourably of the apparent dispo-
sition of the people of Rio Janeiro towards the
Americans.

(From the Boston Paper of the 291 h Sept.)

HEALTH OF THB TOATNI.—It gives us much
pleasure to be able to lay before our Readers the
following official document :

" Health Office, Sept. 97.

" The Board of Health of the TOWN of Boston
have now the pleasure to publish, that the Town
of Boston is at this time wholly free from any
contagious or malignant disease ; and the Secre-
tary of this Board is directed to cause the same to
be published in the Newspapers.

" JAMES ROBINSON, Sec."

There does not appear to be any abatement of
the fever at Baltimore ; during the 48 hours, end-
ing Friday last, 21 new cases had been reported.
In New York, at the last dates, only one new
case had occurred.

We do not believe the report now going round,
that the nesident has ordered the United States
troops at Nanchiloches to march to the Sabine
to prevent auxiliaries and supplies going to the
Independents of Texas, because it is the custom
and kw of this land for the Civil Authority first
to interfere to prevent violations of the laws ;
and we have not heard that the Civil Power has
been resisted, or refused to act once on any occa-
sion requiring the interference of the Military
Authority.

Private letters, received in town this morning
from New York, of the 27th September, state, that
the fever was raging there with such violence,
that it caused nearly hale the inhabitants to leave
the City.—Letters also from New Orleans and
Philadelphia mention the same account as above.

The Morning Chronicle has a long leading ar-
ticle, furnished by his friend Dr. O'MEARA, re-
specting Mr. STOKOE, the Naval Surgeon, who,
like the former Worthy, found that innocent and
unoffending Sufferer, NAPOLEON BUONAPARYE,
labouring under an incipient hepatitis of three
years standing. This long " Narrative" finishes
by an observation, that it " requires no com-
ment,"—none but one, certainly, and that a very
short one—it is false front the beginning to the end.

There never we; a more contemptible degrada-
tion of the Public Press than what appears in The
Morning Chronicle of this day, and we shall copy
the article referred to, that we may the more
completely hold up that Paper to the scorn and in-
dignation of the People at large. After stating,
with callous impudence and falsehood, that " it
was part of Mr. PITT'S system to degrade the
ancient Nobility," The Morning Chronicle at-
tempts to degrade the Nobility of a later date in
the following article .

PRESENT CABINET.
Earl of HAnnowar, —Ancestor, a Draper in the Cloisters,
Smithfield, created a Peer in 1700.
Earl of LivearooL—His father the first Peer created in
1786.

Lord ELDON—Created a Peer in 179 D; his father a fitter
at Newcastle.

Viscount CASTLEACAGU—His father the first Peer created

ili 178:).
Duke of WELLINGTON'...-liiS father the first Peer created
iu 174 G.
Mr. CANNING (has no Peer)—ilis father a Tradesman.
Lord St/amount—Created a. Peer iu ISW 3 fat her a Doctor
at Reading.
Lord NicLrtr.tE—liis fattier the first Peer created in 1802.
Duke of DEnientlD—Created a Peer in 1358.

Earl of FrrzwlLLlAlki—Do. do. 1620, the e2d in pa-
ternal descent Goa/ Sir Wm. Fitzgudirick, who was cousin to
King Edward the Confessor.'

To the rapid rise of families by the exertion of superior
talents and honest service, no one objects—on the contrary,
it is the glory of our 6 yvtrin; but it surely should be the duty
of men in rank and high situation to preserve the Jeipect
which is due to ancient Nubility.

The mean qualifying note at the end of this

'nvitlioutt and most despicable attempt to

lessen the character of Persons who owe their
elevation to the services of their immerliate Pro-
genitors, or to their own merits, is, no doubt, in-
tended as some palliation. It is observable that
in this venomou ecord, no fault is imputed to any
of the Persons, nor is there any notice of the causes
of their elevation. All that has been said against
Lord i-lattaowav is, that his ancestor was a Draper,
of Lord ELDON , that his father was a Fit ter, of Mr.
CANNING, that his father was a Trader. Strange
'charges from a Radical Print which is constantly
advocating measures tending- to elevate the Rabbi!.
The chief imputation against the other noble Per•
sons is, that their respective fathers were the firtt

• Peers in the family. No notice of that personal tit'
tachment to his MAJIISTY, that profound knowle4
of business, and long public services ‘vhich raise
the late Lord Li vEnPoor, into well-meri(ed dt
4 tinction. No notice of those einineot ti.ileor, 864
deep legal knowledge, which raised Lord ELOOtJ:
through all the proper gradations to the highest pr.°.
felsional honour. Nut even a word in favour
the Duke of WELLINGTori, who obtained his title
as the Deliverer of Europe. Tile great 684;4
against ,14-,rd SIDMoUTII is, that his father wig a
Doctor, the Member of a Profession of the 110°31
importance to mankind, and who was the lad:
mate friend of the great Earl of Cua-zaAkt. Lord
SIDMOUTII himself haying been universolli-
allowed to have been one of the most eininc°
Members of the House of Commons who 'id.
graced the Speaker's Chair, a Nobleman
tinguished fur private virtue and indefatigable
zeal in the discharge of public duty. The 011
Persons in this most despicable attempt to `l4'.
grade distinguished characters, exempted if°
the reproach of having had ancestors who sr°!:
by honest industry, and, most probably, person'
worth, are the Duke of BEDFORD and Earl
WILLIAM. As we do not wish to follow 411°.
odious example of The Morning Chronicle, 'cc
shall only refer to Mr. BURKS'S Inenlbrabig
Letter to the late Duke of BEDFORD, for tris
origin of bis Grace's family wealth and hottou's;
and as to Earl FITZWILLIAM, we shall dismiss big!
Lordship with the following passages from dic
satirical Poet :

4, Some stand for fame on their forefathers feet,
By heraldry/ proed vaiiant or discreet"—
" If virtues at their noble hands you crave,
" You hill them raise their fathers from the grave
'"
" Titles arc marks of honest tun, and wise,
" The Fool or Kmtve who wears a title hes"--
" They who on glorious Ancestors enlarge, „
" Produce their debt, instead of their ctscharge•

A more despicable Meeting than that which t°fl.
place yesterday in Finsbury Market Place, Dell"
insulted the Government of a Country ; but tiril
picahle as it was, and must appear in the eye
all rational and well-disposed People, such Met'
ings should not be suffered to disturb the Publl.l
Peace. To the credit of all the decent inhilbi#
tants of the neighbourhood, they united in treao4
the miserable Radicals and their infamous Lettdes
with the contempt and ridicule which they descry'
ed. Many of the tradesmen in most of the avenues
leading to the scene of action, were obliged f°
shut up their shops, and consequently their mewl
for supporting themselves and their families vfcld
suspended. Should this perpetual disturbance
public peace and obstruction of honest indostil
be tolerated ? Should such a fellow as Ttsts-ro'
WOOD, who attempted to escape from the Pursuit
of law, and was taken on board of a vessel on the
eveof departing for America—should such a wretch'
ed fanatic, or rather trader in Radicalism, as Sirt'l'
sox, who, while in the Tower, offered to sell hip'
self to Government if it would enable him t°
set up a Shop, or to transport himself and his
wily to the same country in order to join his s°°l
wlso,if he:had been taken into custody here, sfOul4
most probably have been hanged—should o'4l
fellows be permitted to collect an immense multi'.
tilde when they please, in order to seduce 6EOII
inflammatory harangues, and be suffered to proceed
in this mischievous course, till the lower tirelli
of the People, throughout the Country, are fil'e for
rebellion, and may bring on its all the horrors of
a Gallic Revolution ? Nu—if the Law is not c 3
ciliated to meet the evil at present, let the fiegi;
lature, in its wisdom, enact new measures for I
security of the Constitution, which even its orP°'
nents allow to be the best system that human sags,
city ever devised for the freedom of a People 3
the protection of a State. As to the wretched rPctie
ar
WATSON, we repeat, and shall often repeat, "'lll
he obtrudes himself upon public notice, dot ijs
offered to abandon politics for ever if GOl.erfv.
went would buy his silence. We have itieltsilat-
able authority for this fact, which we are pa;
misted to disclose ; and after this damning pf°'
of his mean, sordid, unprincipled oar to sea
o 0i

impudence for such a man to sites his hot,
