The recent DE,PUTATION of BOOKSELLERS and
,PRINTRUS Who. %VaiLeti Itpoll the Earl of ..Livaa.
root ..,on. account of the Bill respecting Seditious

Putlicatiois, were received, %yc t oderstand, t)

his Lot dship wi►l► the most gra:Hying 'attention.
It was the general opinion of the D-putation that
his Lordship displayed such an accura►e know-
ledge of the subject in question, as seemed to he
surprizing to those so well qualified to judge by
long practical experience.

We yeverday gave a brief report of the Radical
Meeting which took place at the Crown and An-
chor, and we see no necessity for entering into it
detail of proceedings that in general were quite in
the hackneyed style of those pretended Reformers
who seem disposed to destroy that noble political
fabric, the Btitish Constitution, which has long
reodered us the freest and the happiest people
on the face of the globe. So we should still be,
if it were not for hordes of Rebek led by Impos-
tors, who seek nothing but their own elevation,
t the hazard, or even the probability of ruin to
the greatest Empire on Earth. Sir FttaNcts Butt-
purr, who acted as Chairman yesterday, having
delayed his arrival till the mob assembled because

impatient, stated that he had been to Netvgate to
give security for the safe de.ention of Mr. Hon-
nousc. Ile then proceeded to deny the power
of the House of Commons to commit for the im-
puted offence, and tittered such reflec ions upon
that branch of the Legislii!ure,ss, in our opinion,
mould expose him to expulsion, if his words had
been taken down and submitted to-the House.---
The rest of the Speakers were IIuNT, TiIaLvCALL,
and several obscure men, ‘vboie opinions are too
contemptible to deserve any notice. As. to M,r.
floanousE, if he had not Written so ;much, and
whit so much bitterness, a,,.;ail;st the pre eat older
of things in the Country, if he had not bet-. 41 the
panegyrist of the greatest Tyrant th_at the wotid
ever saw, and the Defamer of the glorious
Victory at Waterloo, we sholld be inclined
to pity his errors, and impute them to the
sanguine character of youth. It is obvious,

however, that such a spirit requires tamispg,, anal,
as he possesses learning and talents, we hop:, that
confinement will bring him to reflection, and then
he may do credit to himself, and render service to
his Country. But as to the Baronet ‘se have no
hopes ; he can no longe'r plead youth- in mitiga-
tion of the folly and danger of his conduct, con-
duct that, incited by a fleeting popularity, is cal-
culated to involve himself, his family, and his
Country in universal ruin.

Doctor WATsoN.—This unlucky Reformer has
written a long Letter, adlressed to the Reformer b
in general, awl dated at ‘Thitecross-street Prison.
It appears that this unfoitunate man has been at-
rested tor the Dinner giver, on the day when
flupiTmade his triumphant entrance from Isling-
ton into town. 1-ItiNT was the obtrusive Chair-
man at this Dinner, an honour which properly
belonged to the poor Doctor.,--WATSON CeEltdiiiy
in this Letter, which appearain a Mottling Paper
of this day, bris brought heavy charges of incon-
sistency, artifice, ingratitude, and, perfidy a4ainst
HUNT, who will probably deem it his best..po-
Hey to take notice of a Letter which hears
so hard against him, and to which it seerns diffi-
cult, if not impossible, to return a svistactoty
answer.--1 he Morning Paper in which this Lrt-
ter appears, says of WaTsosr, that " he was,
perhaps, the most honest fanatic in their whole
set." We are tomilling to add to lite weight of
distress which confines this man in ptison, btrt
be is the victim of his own folly. We deem it,
however, .our duty to notice one passage its his
Letter, which may fairly be retorted on himself.

He says of HUNT, " may not himself have been
.playing a deep game., to make himself wolth a-price
with Government." Now the Public will remember
that we stated, upon the authority of a Gentleman
of high respectability, who left his name at our
Office, that during the time when WarcsoN way
in the Tower, he offered to renounce all political
connexions and pursuits, if Goeernru'ent wooed
provide him with the means to remove
liis family to another country, or
able him to set up. shop in his prol'essig-n
in London. We pledged ourselves to repeat
this eila'rge as °hen as the Doctor obtruded. hitn.
self 'con the Public. He has never tbo-itg!it proper
to answer it ; but we certainly should not have
brought it forward under his present condition,
if it were not a duty to the Public, to let them
know the --real character of those who pretend
to patriotism, and to Reform the Consritution
tipa* principles that would lead to its total sub-
version.
