"Ilia Excellency the Governor having received and per-
used the Jourii,il of a Tour lately wade by Charles Throsby,
Esq. by the way of the Cow Pastures to n.ethurst, in the new
discovered country westward of the Blue Mountains, takes
this early opportunity publicly to announce the happy result
of an enterprise, which pi °wises to c,ndtice in a very emi-
nent degree, to the future interest and prospciity of the Co-
lony._

"The communication with the Western Country baring
been heretofore over a long and ditticti.:, range of ni ,nataios,
alike ungenial to man and cattle, from theirparched and bar-
ren state, it became an ohject of great importance to discover
another route, wh‘ereby those almost insurmountable barriers
would be avoided, and a more ',lactic:able, and consequently
less hazardous, access effected to the rich and extensive plains
of Bathurst;

" His Excellency ad% erts with pleasure to Mr. Throsby's
general report. of the capabilities, qualities, and features of
the country intervening between the ('ow Pastures and Ba-
thurst; which he represents to be, with few exceptions, rich,
fertile, and luxuriant; abounding with fine run, of water,
and all the happy varieties of soil, bill, and valley, to tender
it not only delightful to the view, but highly suitable to all
the purposes of pasturage and agriculture.
The importantle of these-discoveries i 4 enhanced by the.
consideration that a continuous range of valuable country,
extending from the Cow Pastures to the remote plains of Ba-
thurst, is uow fully a.ccrtinned, connecting those countries
with present settieme:its on this side the Nepcan.
°' His Excellency the Governor, highly appreciating Mr.
Thrusliys services on this occasion, offers him this public
tribute of acktiowledment, for the zeal and persevel ance by
which he was actuated throughout that arduous undertaking;
arid desires his acceptance of one thou Sand. acres of land in,
any part. of the country 'discovered by himself that ha may
choose to select,

By the Shipley, that had sailed on the Ist of
April, but has not vet arrived, between two and
three hundred troops were sent home, which has
lett the colony with a force of only five hundred
men for its protection. The number was deemed
inadequate for the purpose, and the settlers (in
other respects gt►in4 on prosperously) were in
auxiey and al;+►ln on that account. An increase
of military force has been long expected by the
Colony, as well as a brig of war at Sydney. All
the benevolent institutions, especially the Orphan
'School, founded by the excellent Lady of their
former Governor, Captain KING, are producing
the btst effects on the rising generation.

A NARROW E,cApa.-.--On Thursday last a lad,
of 14 years of age, residing in Park-street, Cul-
lese-street , observed an old iron swivel guu lying
about the house, and being desirous of cleaning
it. be pot the breech into the fire, and seated

himself before the muzzle to watch it. In a few
si..eo..ds an explosion took place, and the boy felt
himself wounded in the front of h:s throat. He
was conveyed to the Infirmary, where a large ta-
ble-folk, withoot the wooden part of the
wag taken from the wottinf, the whole of tie iron
up to the prongs, (between tour and fire inches

in length,) been buried- in his throat.—
'fire fork, it is supposed, had passed between
.the
windpipe and the great blood vessels on the left
side of the neck. If the powder had not been
very -much damaged, or if the fork had taken a
direction a little either to the right or tolliekitt
it would, probably have caused instant death.—
Ar present, however, the latLappears to be doing
well, but is by no means*tiurvol danger.—(Bristol
Journal, .Oct. 30.)
. Sousa TuttoATl.—At this season of the year,
when many people are afflicted with that danger-
ous and distressing complaint, a sore throat, the
following Recipe for its cure is said to be very
useful :—Take a glass of olive oil, half a glass of
spirits of turpentine,.mix them together, and rub
the throat externally, wearing flannel round it at
the same time. It. proves most effectual when
applied early. Swett oil will answer the purpwe
equal)? well,

TO EA R,L G R 0 SVEN OR.

Y Lot D—i-The.refusal of your Lordship's cop-
;:iburion to the gencrease of the armed force in

your'Count-y, ,arises neither from an empty purse
nor an insensible'beart. Every one knows your
opulence, and rna,ry hove telt your liberality. In
cases vetich interested your feelings, the one has
always been commensurate with the other. You
give, beeattve you.approve the object and with-
-bold, because you dislike it. Had the defence of
the Country appesred to you necessary, it tvonld
have :mired as willing a subsc►i_ption as that
you accorded ►o nJr. Hot.a. Had the re-
lief of a Radical Bookseller aipeared yam iu►-
prof►er, it would have reccived as ready a detti 1
As that which you returned to the Cheshire Com-
►uittee. All thi:it your Lordship requires,
whe-
ther for ascent or refusal, is " to be s4tisfied that

the occasion is a proper one :" as you of cour..,e
were, when you patronised the Bookseller, and
When you disconoteumnevd the armament. Of

course, too, your Lordship 10,,kefi iu each (pies-
tiou to uoihiug else thAtt " the faithful execution

" of the laws, and the prcstrvation and prospe.

" Thy of our happy Constitution."
Your Lordship has examined both " recent
'' events" and " local orcorrences." In your
inlonent, the law of the land and the religion of
the law are entirely safe ; becatise one blasphemer
has been convict ed,and the Nation is too wise to be
Taken in by " pernicious theories." It is some•
'.v hat startling, my Lord, that your examination
of " local occurrences" has not observed the
theoretical danger to have risen into practical mis-
chief. One among the most enlightened and the
most wealthy of our Senators cannot surely hare
resided—almost I might say, in the centre of the
late " local occurrences," without having seen
that drillings awl marcliings, pikes and proces•
sions, bannetz and bludgeons, are something more
than theoretical. His great stake ia the Empire,
as well 8$ his honourable interest in her satety,
Intim have rendered him peculiarly anxious to
prevent them front becoMing more practical.
While the Reformers are about something more
than deliberation, it surprises me that your Lord-
ship should be content with deliberating only :
and that you nor merely question the propriety of
using our arms, but of preparing them. You
will not let us proceed with our adversaries part
passu :—we may not assemble when they collect :
v,e may not associate when they combine
in;,y not prep:ire our sword when they have drawn
theirs. That your Lordship would zealously
go.rd the Constitution, when it appears to you
endangered, who shall question ? but, if you do
not now discern " a determination openly and
E' distinctly acted upon" for Its subversion—when
will arrive the crisis of your discernment 1--tWe
admit your loyalty, we admire your liberality;---
hut we must not wait for your concurrence.—
After having saved the Constitution, we shall
expect to he rewarded with your apprribition.
Yet, with all your Lordship's confidence in the
pacific theory of the Radicals—with all your sus-
picions of some unconstitutional error which may
have offended these " enquiring" patriots.—You
consider our form of Government " th© most per-
feet with which any Country was ever blessed."
I will not strain your words, my Lord, into an
erdmissiou of its actual perfection :—but surely
they are strong enough to infer an opinion, that
lie who attempts its alteration must be either a
fool or a traitor. Will not your Lordship allow
the possessors of such a Constitution, to whip the
one, or to hang the other-i

The matt, perhaps, may be very wise and very
Loyal, %rho questions the. purity of our Elections,
sind who lowfully endeavours at correcting their
tleficiencies.—But the unlawful endeavour, which
your Lordship so positively disapproves?—Has it
never been made by the Radicall ?—Are their ar-
maments so lawful, as to forbi,l the legality of
ours P—iLis no " determination" been •' op►enly
" and distinctly acted upon,'' to obtain Helmut
" by force ?"—And if it has—shall it not be re-
e isted as " openly and distinctly ?"
That the Laws will be strengthened, I do most
earnestly hope :—but parchment vigour will he of
little serriee, if it be not aided with the vigour of
the sword. To enact a severe law, without pro-
ticling of enforcing is severity, were but
an added ttt'ck upon that Conbtitution, which,
aahen assailed by physical force, must be protect-
ed by physical force ako. l hope, therefore, that
if the Army is not to.be inerea)ed, the Law will
not be extended.

Certainly, my Lord, let the Manchester pro-
ete►lings be referred t►► the !',►rliarnent, of to the
C.;ourts of Li w. Let it be enquire►l, whether the
,liagivracy did not " produce," the '' unlawful
qamhivation" which they " rest aintdr—whe-
ther, according th yuur Lordship's arrangement,
tl►ry did not par the Radicals (town by making
them assemble, and then make the Radicals
;►t,scmble, by potting them down. Your Lord-
;ltii► is a gt eat Master of rhetoric ;—the by-
srerologic figure is familiar to your practice;—
..od, it we were to accept your instruction, we
ahouid soon realize in our own persons, its ceie•
br,►ted instance in 'Virgil—

ntoricmur ct in media c7;:la ruainul—

let IP3 first perish, and then take to arms.
• But, my Lord, while you will not determine
richer the '' immediate" or the •" ultimate" object
of the Radicals, will you not forbear to determine
so very delerminately the inexpediency of any de-
hpre against them ? While we expect the in-
restigation of Parliament, are we not to prepare
:hose means of protecting the old or of enforcing
rise new law, which Parliament may perhaps decide
to he needful ; and which, if we wait for such (led-
!.ion, may be impossible of preparation ?—Surely,
)otir Lordship feels, that without the Legislative
saw., ion, the arms which we seek to prepare can-
t,ut. be us.cd ; but that they must be reviously

yrepared, if the Legislative unction of ileir use
is to be of any- effect.
Most sincerely I join in your Lordship's prayer
—that the exertions which you have made against
" a foreign enemy." may never beneeded against
" a domestic one." But, my Lnrd, if tire 'trea-
sonous avowals of the Radicals are any thing be-
yond a " the ry ;" if their speeches and placards,
and convocations, have any spice of practice about
them ;—will THAT he a time for your Lordship's
peeparationsi Will,the Constitution be saved by
your enlisting troopers, anti purchasing red jac-
kets—when the horses should be saddles! and the
sabres drawn ?

IVhat !—when the ." domestic" foe is in tl►e
field—shall we exclaim to Earl Gaosvatioa—
" Where is thy pos'ver then to heat him back ?

4' Where are thy tenants and thy followert. ?"
I into, that we shall not have to wait for his
Lordship's aostvrr.
