MEDICINE.

TO T. TAYLOR, Esq. No. 9, New Bridge-street, London
HONOURED SIR,
IBEG (cave to inform you, that ever since the
year 1790, I had been afilicted with the Laes Venereal,
which, from its obstinately resisting every course of medicine
prescribed by the most eminent of the faculty here, and un-
dergoing severalsevere courses of salivation, and twice dis-
charged from the Hospital with little relief, would appear to
be of the most inveterate nature. In the spring of last year
flis, disorder had got to such a head,as nearly to put a period
to my existence—l had a large ulcer on the crown of my head,
one on each arm, and Illy legs were broke out in a frightful
manner ; my right was dreadfully painful, and had been in a
state of ulceration for the last seven years; my left had also
two large nodes on it, wo. very much discoloured, and gave
me such excruciating pain, particularly when warm in bed,
-as nearly to deprive me of rest ; in this lamentable state, I
was recommended by Mr. J. Thompson, (who received so
great a cure by them here), to take your Leake's Patent Pills,
which I began to do on the efith o. May ; in the coarse of a
fortnight I began to receive beneSit -in little inure than a
month the ulcers on my head and 4rms were soundly healed—
soon after, the sores ots my legs healed also ; hoW-
ever, considerable discolourationt in the skin, and pain in the
bone of the left, which, by the 'blessing of God, anti a little
longer perseverance in your invaluable Medicine, sulssuled ;
-the nodes dispersing, the skin regaining its natural hue, and
the nocturnal pains gradually going thus became, by
your liberal advice and medicine, perfectly free trout all my
former complaints—have recovered my teenier spirits a nd
. strength, and am become jolly and fat, in which state having
continued many Months, to the astonishment of all who knew
e, I am at a loss in what terms to es press my gratitude, but
beg you, for the good of other sulferinw• mortals, to 'ltalic
this my case as public as possible, as I shall on every occa-
sion;, its so doing you will greatly oblige,
Sir, your grateful, obedient, very humble servant,

approved of the conduct, both of the Magistrates
anti Yeomanry, on the occasion ; and this cir-
cumstance ought to have the more weight, as
we know that Ministers have on all other occa-
sions advised a different po:icy than that which
they now approve of in the Magistrates at Man-
chester. When the Lord Mayor of London pro-
posed to prevent the Meeting at Stui(hfield, lte
was told from the Secretary of Suite's Office that
he bad no such power, and th the right of the.
subject to assemble for legal purposes was un-
questionable. The plain inference from all this
is, that there must have been something in the
Manchester Meeting which distinguished it from
those at Smithfield, and this has been such as'to
induce Ministers to approve of the change in the
system, which has hitherto been followed in those
cases. And this supposition is confirmed by the
circumstance of Hunt, and the other leaders of
the patty on that day, having since been com-
mitted on a charge of high treason.
" For our own part we have no hesitation in
saying, that there is quite etiough ona the very
face of these assemblies to constitute their illega-
lity. For what purpose are they called ? Not
surely for the mere purpose of petitioning for a
reform in the mode of electing Members of the
House of Commons, but for altering that mode
altogether, and introducing practices complete-
ly at variance with the spirit and letter of our
institutions. The object of their prayer is to
introduce a spirit of democracy into the frame
of our Government, which would destroy it
altogether, and set up in the place of our limited
Monarchy the form of a Republic. This is oot
a Reform, but Revolution. They might as well
begin by petitioning for the abolition of the
Crown, or the House of Peers, -as by detnand.
ing such a change ill the House of Commons as
would lead to its extinction altogether. One
can easily observe a great alteration in the
tone of this party of late. It has- become more
bold iu its pretensions, arid more daring in
its designs. To such lengths, indeed, are their
present leaders disposed t o run, that the more mo-
derate of the, party have found it necessary to
abanduu them altogether. It is time, therctore,
that their violence should be opposed by a cor-
responding energy, and that they should know
they will not be suffered to assemble for the pur-
pose of agitating such unconstitutional questions
as universal suffrage or election by ballot. It

Government, were it to suffer any set of melt to

ing itself. It is the dirty ut the Public Officers of
the State to employ the authority vested in them
for the public good, and to oppose all designs
against that Government of- which they are the
the organs. At Rome, in times of emeigency, the
Consuls were ordered to exert all thek authority,
" ne quid detrimenti respublica capiat,". and the
same duty is assigned to the Officers of our Go-

vernment.
" It is quite apparem', indeed, from the temper
and conduct of the tirsaffected in the neighbour-
hood of Manchester, that nothing but the utmost
vigilance and energy on the part of the Executive
Authority will suffice to preserve the country from
the. most serious evils There is no question that
the most dangerous and traitorou, designs are
meditated .by many,, and arty: there -are .others

The following pertinent Observations are taken

temperate, and judicious Paper :
Leery day that posses tends to confirm the sa-
lutary consequences 's hich we anticipated from the
measures which we►e ad,,pted at Manchester. It
is not necessary that we should repeat our senri-
tnents upon that subject, but were we to concede
all the worst statements and reproaches of our oppo-

rents, as applied to those measures, we should s•
be prepared, looking at the results, to apnhnd
them. As the tumult of passion subsides, the voice
of reason becomes audible ; and we ask any regson-
able man in the kingdom, whether, if the country
he henceforward rescued from seditious Meer-

logs, convened for no earthly purpose but to pro.
mote disaffection, the decision and enerzy dis-
played at Manchester, will not be prodn,qive of
infinite good ? We know the danger of admitting
the maxim, that the end will justly the means ;
but we also know, that both in public and private
life the practice of it is formed upon us. Ail
that is human necessarily partakes of human
frailty and imperfection. 'the purittennical hy-
pocrisy which designedly overlooks this law of our
accountable nature, and fixes its envenomed
fangs upon what is unsound alone, in order to in-
flame and gangrene, performs a very rlsv pa: t.

THE 'CONSTITirrION.-,(LETTEIt IV.)

Mr. Datirolt-Our happy and most admirable
Constitution was not drawn from any theory, or
built upon any political speculations. The theories
and the 'speculations that have seduced so moty
minds, have been drawn from it, but with a total
misconception of its design and spirit. The Bri-
tish Constitution is essentially and fundamentally
a Monarchy : the theories- lead generally to a
Detnoetacy. If every man had an equal right to
a vote or Suffrage, the Constitution would be
essentially Republican. But that it never was,
nor ever ought to be. The system of Represen-
tation grew out of the prudence of the Mona' ch,
and proved at the same time most beneficial to
the People : but beneficial in its actual form, not
in that to which pretended Reformers would re-
(lace it. I argue not at present which is best,
but I insist and urge, that the one has made 5,5
great and glorious and powerful ; what time other
might make us is yet untried, but better than this
it could not do ; nor did any other Constitution,
in any part of the world, ever do so much. There-
fore, it is, that all sound Politicians adhere to the
old motto,

:Columns loges Aug mutari.
We will not change what we know to be good,
for that of which we have either no experience,

or experience decisively against it.
Still, as I Would not infringe a single right of
the People, so neither would I refuse diem any
thing that is really for their good. For the hour
of discontent and tumult, indeed, nothing ran be
conceded ; because every concession then obtain
ed would be considered as a victory ; and would
lead, not to contentment and sad:faction,- but to
still further dernand4, and more inflamed &scow.
tent. lilt when 'tranquillity was by legal means
restored, and the authority of the Constitudonal
Laws vindicated, then
I should think it a duty to
consider what were the ciicumstances on which a
pretence for clamour had been fonoded, and hots
those evil consequences could be in future pre-

vented.
First, however, let me say that I believe the
pretence of corruption in the House of Commons
to be perfectly unfounded. I will unequivocally
assert, that since the Representation existed at
all, there never was a Ilouse less corrupt than
the resent. Perhaps none ever so little, from.
causes that might he easily explained. But then
I must also state what I mean by corrupt. I do
not think a Member of Parliament more corrupt,
or less to be trusted, as a man of honour, because
he has been chosen by ten electors, than if he had
been renrned by the majority of ten thousand.
Nor do 1 think him so, even if he had purchased
his seat ; for the fact is %yell known, that many
such members have been the must independent,
and inflexible Patriots (in the true sense of the
word), that ever graced that honourable assem-
bly. Not to mention that popular favour and po-
pular applause are often a more corrupting spe-
cies of bribery titan any Minister is able to em-

ploy.
lint tl►e return of Members, in this apparently ,
irregular way, the real, opera ion of which it is
impossible ever to explain for the multitude, gives
occasion to misrepresentations, to calumnies, and
discontents. Therefore it should be changed ;
but changed in the true constitutional way, with
as little infringement as possible of any man's
sight or property. The Laws made for that pur-
pose should not take effect till the expiration of
the regular period of a Parliament ; and they
should go no further than this—to extinguish all
that can properly be called Rotten Boroughs;
and to appoint, with very CdtItIOUS regulations,
an equal number, and no more, from places of
consequence, at present not represented. That
this, or any other change whatever, would really
improve the Legislative Body, is what Uwould
not assert ; but if it cut off the strongest holds
of faction, it would render a valuable service.

Among other outrages committed by the Re-
fotiners in the ocighbout hood of Manchester, was

that the conduct of Captain GoLoze, and the
whole of his squadron, without a single exccp-
titm, has been such as to have secured them the
esteem of every well disposed person in the town.
The plincipal inhabitants, upon heating of the
outrage, Ivith the most laudable promptitude,
