The follokvin 'iibser‘arions, taken from The
Royal Cornwall Gazette of the 7th inst. TORY vell
be otteced as an antidote to the poison daily issued
by the chief JacObinical Press of the Metropolis,
which is constantly employed in attempts to ex-
cite popular discontent; and to spread a varnish
over insurrect,on and rehellirin:

" Thus poor foots
Believe false ter,,ehers. Tho' those that are hetray'd
Do feel the trea3un sharply, yet the traitor
Stands in worse case of woe." SHAtiqPEMIE.

This day presents the novel and avvful Spec-
tacle of three culprits led forth to die for the
heavy crime of liigh Treason ; and, perll,lo-, at
the very moment whilst we are vvriting, - the
wretched individuals are nsidergoing all the hor-
rOrS of a pwinful and infamous death ! The heart
bleeds at the melancholy contemplation ; and,.
whilst it mournfully concurs in pronouncing their
s'entenceinst, prntives its fervent though inaudi-
ble petitfOn for their favourable reception at the
bar of the " great Judge of all the earth !"
Those unhappy characters to whose fate we have
alluded, exemplify a necessary lesson to the sedi-
tious.,and otiu which, it appears, they had vvell-
uigh etruced hum the tAletz of their Memory
with the swinge of impanity. The extreme le•
nity.hitherto di,played by Government seems to
have been mistaken fir tintiility, and its unwil-
lingness to punish has been enhstrned into a dread
of increasing the irritation which poisonous
writings and speeches had pushed to so considera-
ble an extent. Let the delusion be withdrawn ;
and let the distot hers of public peace and indivi-
dual happiness find the truth of that archration
of Scripture, which all their sneers at I.gitinta4
cannot controvert,--that Kings and Governors
are constituted by Divine appointment, " for the
punishment of evil-doers and for the praise of
them that do well."

To those who are capable of tracing the eon-
neetiou between causes and effects, it would be
unnecessary to demonstrate the immense mischief
whit!) has been recently clone by the dissemination
of irreligious and disloyal sentiments, not only
through the tracts of itinerant venders, but too
often through the medium of the public press, or
that portion of it which has been hired to coun-
tenance the Utopian visions of political perfec-
tionists ; and which, in the pursuit of its M-
ortified anti ill-understood objects, has prostituted
itself to retail the seditious slang of waggon-
orators and the impious ebullitions of renegades
and apostates. Here evidently lies the root of
the evil,—heute proceeds the virus of the disease ;
and until Government shall adopt measures to
exect and cast away those unsound parts selaicli
taint the pore air of. rational liberty.and general
comfort, we see no reason to hope for the perma-
nent health of the body politic : the poison will
work, surely, though gradually, and inure Man
symptoms will from time to time prove that
" there's something rotten in the state of Den-
mark."—We earnestly hope that the Attorney-
General, after the very seasonable and judicious
observations made by the Counsel for the pri-
soners at the late trials, on the detestable charac-
ter of the writings of Cobbett and otherunprito•
cipled adventurers, will turn his whole attention
to this momentous subject, and vi-it with all the

and that I►is Lordship is iu a fair way of recovery.

M. CLAY (says the Stamford Paper) has ob-
tained considerable celebrity by his ,uperior ma-
nagement of the roads in the -neighbourhood of
Leeds, and other parts of- the country. By rid-
dling the gravel, and adopting ether of, this Gen-
deruan's plans, a surprising change has taken
place on the turnrike'road from Lincoln to N ,w-

these latitudes. In the space of two or three
months a fine substantial plane has been created,
at a trifling cost indeed when compared with the

'with so little benefit arising, that any important
improvement had long been cOnsidered hopeless.
