A RADICAL'S .JDURNAL.

It is lair that the Writer of a Libel should be
pnnished more severely than the Publisher, if
alive, and wi!hin the jurisdiction of our Laws ; if
not, then the Publisher to be considered as the
Writer, provided proof of maliciously and wilful
intention can be fairly proved to a Jury. But,
except in cases flagrantly and notoriously
jicious, the Publisher might be exempted- from
punishment on giving up the Author, provided he
isnot publicly known--a proviso, that would be a
complete guarawee for the respectable part of the
Trade, as well as for newspaper Proprietors, and
also news-venders.

Finally, let news venders be registered—antl, if
any sell (dick wise, are not registered, let that
increase the punishment—as a check to Black
Dwarfs, and o►her poisonous animals, let there be
an active inspection of the Press to report instan-
ter to the Attorney-General, who p►ay then serve
the ►egist ered news-venders with notices, that par-
ticular Papers will he subjected to prosecution,
after whiCh the vender must sell at his own risk.
The cute is rough, but the disease is dangerous !

Yours,

MONDAY, Doc. 13.—Eight o'clock—Awakened
out of a pleasant dream of Mr. EILINT being pro-
claimed King, and myself appointed First Lord
of the TreJsnry. Bosy ain..ng the gold and sil-
ver, when niy wife broke up- my prefet went with
her plagny tongue, calling me to ‘vork.—Mcmo-
ruiolum—Set the great tolks to work when we
have got a Itetorto.—

Ticelre—Ai the (;o+ni►►ittee. Famous speechi-
iying of the Orator ;—tried an oration myself ;
;;;,,t 011 charrniugly, except a lode stuttering. A
flesh stock of pikes ordered, after the Irish pat-
tern.

Two—Dined with Tjin Turnover -and Jack
Jumble; never mind tvile and children—legal in-
cumbrances as the Orator calls them.—Menr.—
LaW almost as inconvenient as Religion.
Six—At Drill. Begin to 'manage the pike
pretty Practised apinst a stuffed figure,
representing a Loyalist.— Mem —Loyalists all
spies ; and spies are to base no quarter. Like
the Black Dwarl's logic amazingly.
Ninc—At the Crown and Anchor. Held up

my hand against drinking wine, spirits, or tea ;
remembered t he Orator's saving clause," unless t hey
are sniggled." Picked a Gentleman's pocket of his
watch.—Mem.--Sure he was a Loyalist. Went
home in high spirits ;—gave the woman and her
brats as much water as they wished ; must be

kind to one's own, after all.
TuEsnAi.—Breakfasted at home on smuggled
brandy and cold beef ;—water gruel for the fa-
mily ;—they must learn to sacrifice their appetites
to the Cause.
Twelve—Committee again. Paid in half the

money I got by pawning the Loyaii,t's watch ;
received the Orator's certificate, which entitles
me to be defended by the Metropolitan and Cen-
tral Committee, in case of being nabbed. Settled
the profits of last night's meeting ;--more pikes
ordered to the amount, to be ready ter " the time

of action," as the Orator said.
•
Two—Dined in public—obliged to drink wa-
ter.—/Ifem.—HuNT had a bottle of Old Tom,
which looked just as radical, and tasted a deal
better. I smelt it upon his first speech.
Eight—At rltill. Bad news from Manchester.
,No rising. The Patriots had not time to take
the arms out of the Gunsmith's shop which they
had broke open.—ille»z. Rise when they are riot
expected ; Christmas 'Day, perhaps'. Who
knows ?—llang the Magistrates—they ate too
watchful !
Nine—Went home. Hurraed as I passed by
Newgate, to comfort poor dear- Master Hos-
HOUSE.

WEDNESDAY.—Breakfasted on some of Mr.
HUNT'S tea—made me sick—liked it as little as
his beer.—Ment.—When we are nt power, the
Loyalists shall swallow both.
Twelve—Committee as usual. Comfortable
news from the North. No fixed day of riiing ;
catch the 'Magistrates napping. The Orator', tea
to be recommended, and the arrears of hzi Trea-
surship to be paid out of the profits. Took my
Instructions about hooting the Regent in the
evening. _ .

Two--Early drill, not to lose time. All the
troops .vastly improved.-1-lad our new pikes to-
day ; very bandy and cheap : only, two shillings
a head. We'll stick the Loyalists, never fear.
Four, till Midnight —At the Ambassador's.
Climbed the walls, and did all the mischief pos-
sible.—Mein. No Foreigner to.come into our Ra-
dical Republic, except Bonay and his men. Got
a sore throat vvith shouting against the lie-
GaNT, and my left little toe grazed by a trooper's
horse. • Never mind—it will make a good griev-
ance, and 1 shall call on SIR 808 JAvFA, the
Theasurer, for a shilling a day till the nail,comes
on again.
THURSDAY.—At borne all (lay, to receive the
Central Committee's visit of inspection to my toe.
The venerable Major staid, four hours after' them,
and read me to sleep with his pamphlets.—Mem. A
stupid old proser, but must not tell biro.so, [lad
rather by‘balf read COBBETT or CARLILB. .Dream-
ed again of our 'Radical Republic, and thought 1
was guillotining the Whigs.
FRlDAY.—Committee us usual.--Upon Orator
1-IuNT'S motion, voted Doctor INATson a perma-
nent sitting in the Marshalsea.—BlLL SNACKS
presented his Map of the Estates of Lord FITZ-
WILLIAM, Mr. COKE, and Sir FRANCIS BURDETT;
could not agree abort the division of the two
last, as every body wanted the best hits. Settled
about Lord FiiTzwiLLitates; when we ordered an
Address of Condolence to his Lordship on his late
dismissal, and divided Milton. Abbey among our
best Patriots—Diem. he Orator has an eye on
the Abbey.—Eta Cher Mem. Ilad rather have it
myself.
SATURDAY.—CtiIIed up in a hurry.—Parliament
passing. all those tyrannical Bills ; and the Radi-
cals must be quick in their hoodoos. Double drill
to-day; and practised wirh our new daggers.—
Printed lists distributed of all the Aristocrats'
houses.—Plan for the simultaneous rising 'Ton
. [Here, unluckily, the Manu-
IGNOTUS. 1 script is torn of.l

LONDON,
MONDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1819.

We received yesterday the Paris Paper:, of Wed-
nesday last. Those of Thursday and ri iday,
which ate due, have not yet arrived. The only
business done in the Chamber of Deputies on
Tuesday, was the appointment of a special Com.
mittee, to examine the projet resPe6ing the six-
eitths, and to make a Report to the Chamber,
fur the purpose of receiving which a public sitting
was expected to he hell on Wednesday.
'the KING on Tuesday tratipacted business with
the Count DecAzEs. The Duke de RICiii.LIBU
breakfasted with his Majesty on the same day.
Marshal SERRURIER died on Tuesday morning.

These Junrnals quote a paragraph how Brus-
sels, stating that the French Exiles there have
received passports to return to France, but no
notice has been officially published in the French
Journals that such a measure had been finally
agreed upon by the Government.
The Count de CARAMAN, at present the French
Ambassador at Vienna, is, it is said, appointed to
the Embassy to-London.
The accounts from Spain state, that Te Deum
was sung at Cadiz on the Ist instant, to celebrate
the entire cessation of the yellow fever,
From Vienna it is stated, that the Congress
had, for the better dispatch of business, appoint-
ed Special Committees of its own body, to dis-
cuss and arrange different questions, and to report
them to the whole, The greatest secrecy was ob-
served , whit respect to the deliberations of this
body. •

Halifax Papers arrived this morning to the sth
of December, and Boston to.the 26th of Novem-
ber :
(From 7'he Halifax Paper of the 4th Dee.) •

TEXA4 EXPEDITION.—A letter front an Officer
of the Revolutionary Army of Texas. says, the
Expedition is closed; it has now the fate I anti-
cipated. The Army is bt.ken up and dispersed.
General LONG has departed for Galverstown.

%Ire have Letters front New Orleans to the 25th
ult. The fever of that place, although somewhat_
mitigated in its malignity, still raged, making the
town as it were a grave-yartl.—lt is also stated
that the Sextons of this City, in a Report to the
Mayor, state, that upwards of 1200 bodies were
deposited in the grave..yards, in the course of GO
days. The number buried during the most fatal
60 days of 1519, is stated at 400.

Advices from .the Havannati, state, that it had
rained, without intermission, from the 12th to the
28.11 of October ; during the whole time business
was almost entirely suspended. $o severe a
storm, in the mouth of October, has not been
known there within 20 years; the harbour, it is
said, continues very sickly.

The efficacy of the measures for the protectit.n
of the Countly against Seditious Meetings, and a
seditious and blasphemous Press, begins to be alt-
parent. 'Fhe infamous Radicals have not ventur-
ed on a Meeting, and the factious Prints begin,

not to " assume a virtue If they have it not,"
but at least show that the venomous and. traitor-
ous Scribblers in their service write with the
caution which fear naturally excites. Ti►us a
great progress has been made in securing our
Consti►ution and Religion-, even hoore

Legislative enactments Lave been pot in ope-
ration. The Government, therefore, h-as

ditional claims on the respect, justice, and
gratittufe of, the people, for having raised the
National Character by the deliverance of Europe,
and secured our Political and it eligions Esta-
blishment from the daring and insidious assaults
of ATHEISM and REBELLION.

The Times of this day has made a very clumsy
attempt to acquit itself of the charge of having

supported a menace of assassination, held out "

some anonymous ruffian against Mr. CANsitio.""
The Times says that the threat was not direct, b°
conditional. It appears that thesPorronym°
se'oundrel who wrote the palm let which
this threat, .was iittNetely connetied
with The Times, for the pamphlet in Voi
non was transferred into that Paper, with varlP
lions, which could only have been made by tb'
author. The Times, on Saturday, revived much
of its malignity against Mr. CANNING, and is abli
handled by The New Times of this day, for its black'
blooded malevolence on this occasion. Who 01
anonymous Defamer was, has not been discovered
and he wisely hides his infamy, which, however'
must be shared by the The Times, that repeated
his execrable threat. It is observable that The
Times couients itself with alleging., that the
menace of murder was condilional, not direct, MI
says nut a word in censure of so atrocious* an
!ennui).

CnimeTT.—«c inserted on the 18th inst. an OC-
count of the attempt of this man to renew lilt
intercourse with Sir FRANCIS BURDETT. TO
account first appeared in THE SUN, and wag
cvpied into most of the Daily Papers,—The fact
is ceitain, and as even Cc/BRETT hirnseU cannot
deny it, be has' attempted to Cipain it in
own way, but as the explanation .depends
his own tes:intoov, we believe that. tticre
ate very few persons in the world who will place
much confidence in it. He sap, that wird
persons urged him to endeavour to rororc
conciliation between himself and the B.lronet,
that having obser.ed in he letter of Sir FAANcI/
to the Electors of Westminster, Hod other poll
of the Baronet's conduct much that he approvett,
he was willing to protno'e the reconciliation, 04
wrote a paper, expressing Ins amicable sentiment/
on that head. The Baronet, as we stated,
inexorable, Now, in the conditions which Cos'
BCTT proposes Ds the ground of the reconcilia#
lion, one of them was, that the Baronet should
" out of his own purse," .facilitate the entrance of
HUNT and CORBETT into the rouse of Comment'
A very modest proposal from a man who is under'
stood to owe the Baronet many thousand poonfro,
and who had reviled his Creditor in the grossest
terms is observable that COBBETT never B.l'
ludes to the debt. IVe have not room for the ce
lions Document this day, but we shall insert it
to-morrow, with other_ matter that will billy:
irate character of this Morose Reformer.

A F.auders Mail, at:d ttAo Mails from Hato'
burgh, artited yesterday evening with lirusstil
Panels to Wednesday last, and Hainhurgh it)or'
