~,~ `--

The sootol part of the People, who, we are
pp,rstiadeo, cotooitute H vast majority, will hear
with ri gret, that several :11enihers of the House
' tit Lirds have thought roper to issue two Pao-
loosTs against the Nleastires tvioch the State of
the Couutry imperiously demands for its safety.
The first of these Proiests is directed against the
tot ponishing Libel by 'l‘ ransportation. We
wish to speak witli doe respect of high charac-
ters'io the State, but we co,iceive that the rea-
sons offered by the Noble Sobscribers indi-
cate a narrow view of the dangers that threat-
en us, alit! the arwmtents they offer appear
to us to he vet y weak in themselves.—The
Noble Protesters speak as if the Libels which ex-
pose the Authors or Pi,blishers to such punish-
ment were the result of mere ignorance, hut they
do not seem to have attended to zhe Provisions in
the Bill ; for the pooishment of trinsportatiou ie
only to be inflicted On persoos after they have a
second time committed the saute offence, and con-
sequently must have been taught by previous
punilonent the nature of their offence, and
of the punishment to which they are liable.—
This we conceive to be a sufficient answer
to the first PhOTE6T. The second is directed
against the Bill authorizing Justices of Peace
to seize end detain arms, &c. We do not
think that the Noble Protesters have shewo
more sagacity on this than on the former occa-
sion, or that they have duly attended to the mea-
sore in goestion. They do not seem to recollect,
that arms are not to be seized but on informa-
tion upon oath ; when there is reasonable ground
to suppose that they are kept for unlawful
purposes ; and then the Magistrates will have
a discreti-wary power to act according to the
character of the person who gives the information,
and the grounds of probability which rotend it.
Magistrates will themselves be responsible for
their conduct on sort: occasions, and having the
eye of the Law and oldie Public upon them, are not
likely to abuse their authority. But the safety of
the Country is at stake, anti the Noble Protesters
do not scent to be aware of the danger which
threateris the whole commooity. They refer to
the legislative meastoesohat were adopted doting
the rebellions of 1715 and 1745, but they do not
seem to have made a ii;ht use of history, or to
have taken a proper view of the difference
between those periods and the present. The
People at large, who had escaped from the dan-
gers of Poeb-icy under a bigotted Homan Ca-
tholic Prince, were alive to the dangers of its re-
storation, and were anxious to support a Pro-
totatit Family upon the Throne. But the
REBELS of the present time, against n'how the
Bill is directed, are enemies to the very none of
King, and are aiming at universal siwliAtion and
the entire destruction of the Country. The se-
cond PROTEST, therefore, tippeais to us to be as
untenable as the other, and we (both( not that
the People in genet al will flout oil!, ',wet that it
is subscribed to by one of the Royal Fitoily, whose
private worth is so mull eatwut.:o, that they
