The charge was brought !mine against the pri-
soner ; but some witnesses being called nt his de-
fence, one of them, in particular, gave him a moil
excellent character for integrity and honesiy, till the
Court cross-examined him somewhat a little too
closely, when it came out that this hurqst man had
been tried a few Sessions ago, c,,,,victed,
.and re-
ceived his Majesty's pardon,on condition of entering
into the Marine Society's service, which he acci;rd-
ingly did, but from which he afterwards contrived
to escape.

The 4zcoRDER, on ascertaining these faEts, most
severely reprimanded the witness, and had nearly
c(immitted him. The pri,oner wasTound Guilty.
John Molloy, John Williams, and Mav, the wife
of Henry Hetherington, were put Lo the Bar, the for-
mer charged with stealing, and the latter with re 4•

It appeared that the Copp.l- article was stolen from
the door of a broker's shop,_and the, two prisoners,

TH Til ATtz R.---Aftvr the Tragedy of Isakella,
in which we were sorry to find (hit Mrs. Swoons
was atreabd•bY a severe cold, a new Farce 'was re-
presented lost night at Covent-Garden Theatre; un-,
der the ingot. " X, Yi Z." I've plot depends on
the perplexities which arise from -ife adoption of
these ,letters• by two persons who adverfse in pub-
lic prints, the one, whois manager from
America, who • wants a few:ate perterm,fr, and the
other is a country squire, who wants a wife, and
the references to both of the :advertisements is Old
Staughter's Coffee-house. A e;.untry actress an-
swers one of (lid adeurtisements, and a roguish at-
torney, who is guardian to a young lady who has
three thousand pounds fortune, answers the other.
The letter from Ihe athess is ideliver«l to the coun-
try squire, and that front the attorney to the Ameri-
can manager. Fl,mcc the wrong partiesare brought
together, and touch Olin:steal and divert.ng
voytte ensues. Th..t aNress ad,lresses the looby squire
with all the teconical ptir:Aes of the. green-room,
and the American manager, 01 course, employs the
same language with the guardian of the young lady.
The atultor has so ingeniously contrived the an-
swers of the loot)), squire and the roguish ntwrney,
that thlugli all parties are at times somewhat sur-
prised at the peculiar expre•stons with h occur, ect
the way' in which the manager describes the qualities
that he requires in the actress, coreeslionds so well
with the accomplishments of the young lady, and ,
also with the accounts which the actress gives of
herself, and with what the squire wishes to find in
a wife, that the general misconception is well sus-
tained, and is admirably calculated to please a mixed
audience.

FAwcEl' who performed the part of the Ame-
rican Manager, gave a ludicrous specimen of the
trans-atlantic taste in his attire, and supported thv
part with great humour. .
BLANCHARD was eery- natural and effeQive in the
part of the rognsish Guardian, who offers his Ward,
on condition that he shall have halt her tmtun.:. /14
the.Maoager conceives that she is proposed as an
actress, be others to take twenty more on the same

terms.

LisToN was the booby Squire, and Mrs. DAVE..
PORT the Actress. The scenes httween these part tcs
Wag' exquisitely ludicrous, as n..ay easily be 'conceiv-
ed when such an aCtur as LIiTON appears as a
rustic amarogo.

The Ward, of coarse, is provided with her own
loser, a young officer, to, whorn she contrives to
slope, by the assistance of a Yorkshire servant,
which is admirably pet formed by EMERY.
Miss liot.Tots played the Ward with easy spirit
'and humour.
Upon the whole, this new Farce is a good addi-
,!inu to the stock of harmless pleasuresr it is
vt:ry whimsical itsell, and is supported with great
comic skili by the resiseative perfortners.
Some of the passages did nut seem to please, but
they are easily altered or omitted. The Farce alto-
gether was well received, and though matly opposed
the .annuoi,cing of it for repe,ition this nigh!,
yet a very great majority
.was in its favour.
-It was impossible tor the Theatre to be more
ero‘‘dtd.
This F.irce is ascribed to Mr. COLMAN, and it
bears strong marks of his tact tious pen. We un-
aerstand Mr. Mttuats has applied tUr an iniundio;
against the perforalance of th.s Knee, up. n the pica that he has a right, as one of the Proprietors of the
Haymarket Theatre, to alf the dramatic produc-
tions which Mr. COLMAN may produce.

MUNDEN is still on the sit k list. His disorder has been' a very severe attack of the gout. He has
taken the French medicine.

GREATILLE'S SPEECH,

4E REGENCY QUESTION, IN 1788.

•' • - (Concluded front Saturday.l •
7 s for me to consider the several restric-
have been this day proposed. My opi-
, • ieseect to tht!se follows so mtich-ftoal the
' which I have alre.idy stated, that I should
eenecessary to enter into any more particular
,it re,soning concerning them, if I were not
ties!, .es on every part of this important subject, to
8 '•• so, sentiments di-tinetly and • unequivocally.
, 1 agree with the resolution kivhich restrains the
p s'er of creating Peers, mid I do it on two sepa-
, tate grounds. First, because I am'clear that during
the sh rt period for 'which -we are now providing,
, no meonvenience whatever can result from the sus-
pension of this branch of the prerogative of the
•evie: that there is, for this reason, no necessity
for our delegating this power to any other hands,
and that. we have, therefore, according id the prin-
ciple on which I have t wore enlarged, no right to
conferit on the regent. But ,there:is, in the Second
place, a more important consideration which applies
to this subject. • ,
()fall:4lw powers of the, Crown,' this is -the most
liable teibe abused under a -delegated and ternperary
Government ; -and it • is also that from the abuse of
which the most -injurious consequences would arise
to the permanent ,interest of the Sovereign. The
povjer to create at: chseretion a lasting influence on'
the deliberations of one of the bran Ches of the Le-
gislature; is a prerogative of so high a nature, that
nothing but a strong necessity would justify that
principle of the
.Constitution, which has placed it.
in the hands of the Sovereign -himself. As exer-
cised by
,hint, it is, however, subject to this re-
straint, ,that the mischiefS a:tend:sot ote its abuse,
operate against the peace aid security of that Go•
vernreent, of which the Kieg is not'ouly in actual
possession, but which be is ao eat4in for the ,whole
period of his lite, and which, he can have no interest
weaken or embarraiise •
The case of a- regent. is °widely .different.. .we
suppose him enhappily -to be misled by.t he councils
• oi ten desire,u, ofaVading themselvesbf a short :ite-
terval of authority, ,in order to establish for them-
selves an infiaence the state, paramount.to that
ot heir Sovereign-, what other mode: couid. be
naturally resorted to for this pureose, as the abuse of
this particular .branch of . the prerogative ?
cohld they hope more effectually to secure the cons
tinuance of their own, powyre than by retaining the
means, .it not of preventing the King's TetUr. to
the exercise of his authority, at least of enettarrass-
ieg acid thvkateing in-every instance io which he
tt?iglet fed it his duty to counteract their views of
peteohal :inierest or ambition. It may, indeed, he
said,
.that same restraint which I have before
meoticared, as operating ou the. exercise ,of this
Fewer by the Sovereign himself, doe, in some de-
gree eat), w it, eeemin the hen,is of a regent whose
authority vvas pet-mallet-it, or even cetteiu in its duia-
tithe But let it be considered, that in the present
ease, exaetlye in proportion as the probability of-the
ng:s recovery iricreased, the force oi this restraint
e eeee gredually be weakened, and the temptation
the abuse o ould grow mole pewerful. Toe per-
eeess who aevised time regent would then leel it less
that the cone-quences of- any misconduct
thensl would. be injurious to the Goveraweat is
their o'Nu bands; aril they perhaps, irutf-
gine, ilia: they had an interest in the miseeiets which
it kApoe.l oft the subsequent admirestration-of
Sohtile, reign. firive .donsideration, : therefore, of
the short! ess Of the hoe: val for which we now pro-
vide, s4erns.et once to skew, that. LW otcessity.can
exist finegiviog. :this poweE; and to etford a great
addition-I weight .to the apprehension of datager.re,
suiting frotai it.. In the present tuomeut, I can en-
-4•ll:iii no doubt that-the griming it would exceed
' tee fituks et' our authority, and that even if that
mere not the case, it would be the dtuy of Parlia-
ment to, withdraw .it on grounds of expediency.
The limitation which would pre‘cat the regent
fiont anticipating the King's authority by reversions,
apd Ilona Jettering tt by the giant of offices for life,
is a parteef the same principle which has just been
stated, an though in its consequences certainly not
of equal importance, is nevertheless, in my opinion;
hip!y necessary to be adopted. • • •
;I:he propriety of the restraint
.on the disposal of
the real and personal property-of the Kite is ad-
mitted on all hands, and •is founded on the same
principle which would be adopted-in the case of any,
othre individual in similar circumstances.
The only remaining question is that which relates
to the filth resolution, opened • to us in the begin-
ning. of this debate.' That the care of his Majesty's
person should be entrusted to the experienced vir-
tues, to the anxious and long-tried aflection of the
Queen, is, in my opinion, self-evident on eery
ground of public duty and of private semitnent, in a
case where even private sentiment should not be dis-
regarded. As a point intimately and inseparably
couneded with- the discharge of ties interesting trust,

the care and sup -intenL!a:,ce of hii M.ijesty's-houst.-
bold must be invested in the same handy. The oniy
doubt, indeed, which could arise upon this subject
would be, whether, under the prt sent circumstances,

the cisting establishment ought to be maintained ;
but if maintained, it can be put under. no other di-
redb:: than ilvit to which the care of his Majesty's
pens is entrusted. For, that any ot::er authority
sliouiJ be suffered to interfere in points so intitnately
con ietted.with this dutv, and that thedninestic un-

easiness • inseparable, fro.n; such a system should be
allow,ed to add to the weight of the severest
is, I ant sure, an idea too shucking to be en-

tent-hued by any of those perdoos whom I addless

this place. -
The propositinn pf reducing the King's establish-
rn?.nt in the present moment would, however, as it

appears to me, be searcely_less repugnant to the feel-
ings of a gencrous People. The smallest degree of
relleetioo upon this subject; must ruder it impossi-
biL. that we_ should reconcile our minds to such a

sf:T. It -wilt crria'.nly be felt to be inconsistent
s,vitti 'lie sentiments which we all enteria it towaids

our Sovcieign, a en if we cooll be assured that he

must always remain unconscious of the disregard
- which he
.would thus have expel ienca from the
Representatives of the British nation. But if we
early our eyes farther,and look to that. happy period
to which our wishes and our IMpes ate turned,
what a picture must then present its.ll! Let us, if
we can, imagine, .what twist be.h;s feelings in such
a moment as that, when he is told that his Podia-
mont has availed itself, vVitlr-eagerness and avidity,
• even of the shottest interval, to new-model the'
others attendant on his person, and by a miserable
mconomy, to degrade their Sovereign from those
circumstances of splendour which belong, to the
rank in which he was born, and to the station which •
he still occupies. ,„
- But; Sir, that iS'not all ; thfingh I trust this is
Infinitely more than sufficient, to rouse the feelings
'of every English heart. We profess in our delibera-
tions' here, and we have published to the country
in our resolutions, that we mean to establish a sys- '
tem which is to continue only during the King's-in-
disposition. If we are sincere in this declaration,
we' shalt be careful to -keep alive arnong the reople
at large, the impression of that allegiance, which is
still due to him, and IQ him
,alone: Can e be-
lie ve that it is consistent with.this purpose, to with-
draw from him every mark of dignity,' every exter-
nal circumstance by which lies is distinguished as an
objet of respect, and to reduce him in this instance
to ihe same level with,every common subject ?
We know, and it will, not be disputed, that the
splendour which attends our 'Monarchs in the ex-.
etcise of their authority is not:created Bran empty:
I pageant ; is not given to
,gratify an idle vanity,
which they would be ashamed to feel; 'nut is esia-

r Wished for solid reasons of sound policy. It serves
to mark and to define that tank in which the con-
; stitution of this country has,designed them to stand.
it serves to create ,resped among the people a; large,
and to impress continually on their minds those seri.'
titnents of habitual reverence which are. justly due
to the higher attributes of Royalty. I mean
,nut
certainly to compare th&se .ex,ernal circumstances
of habitUal reverence which are) justly due to the
with- the real and Substavtial dignity Of a King....„
With the power of administering justice in mercy,
or: with the power of 'conferring:happmess on mil-
lions of his tellow-creatuits. But •if there.exisf's a
iiination tinier which our Monarch is tor a time
unhappily debarred 1.10 IT) a personal exercise of these
best prerogatives of his station is it not rather an
additional,reason for continuing to hint the outward
forms and ensigns of §overeigniy 1 I trust and be-
liee that the sentiments which his virtues haVe in •
"spired, are so deeply rooted in the heart's of all his
subjects, that no length of time that could elapse, no
misfortune that .could overwhelm him, no disregard
tinder which he could be suffered .to fall, would
weaken their attachment, diminish their affection,
or repress'the ardour of their lobatty.. But surely,
we shall not feel ourselves .at liberty, from these
considerations, to neglecit the natural and obvious
_Means of preserving in the country a just remenr-
brapce of his rights. We must be sensible that.
every wise Motive which before induced us ro main-
tain the splendour and dignity Of his exalted, rank,
has.-fiom the circumstances of .his situation
acquired an additional and stronger claim to cur at-
tintion. Even•if our present hopes should be dis-
appointed, and it by the comma:nce of this calairity
we shorild hereafter find ourselves compelled to

resort to
.a new arraogetneut in this respect; yet let

it never be forgotten, neither at this, nor at any
• other period of his life, that the duty who!' we are
at this day to discharge, is not that of eleCting a
King to reign over us in his Aead, but that of -crew-
ing a delegated trust to administer the Government
during hiS indispositinu; in his name, and on his
behalf. •
Sir, r nave now trespassed upon the attention of
the Howe much 'Unger than' I have dune at any
• tot wer time, or than I had in'ended upon this occa-
sion. The niture the subjeti, its extent; its

consequences, and the deep impression which it has

. .
made upon my mind, must be suy applo,,,y.

The

question is one-o 4 the most intele-stilig'th'ii has at
any lime be: ) agitated within these walk It is
probably the most important that will ever occur

doriou the cioase of wy fife. And-Nure I am th.it there

will be no izoment ot- it, at which it will llot be -a

satisfadion to me to rctleet, that I have discharged
this high and sacred duty, faithfully and conscienti-
ously, without, resped of Rersous, or consideration

of interest, and looking only 10 that allegiance which
I owe to my Sovereign, and to that concern which
due to the peace, prosperity, and happiness of
my Country.

THE COR7'ES.

" The right of can sling the actions of the
Govonment, is an iMprescriptible right, which no
nation can resign, without ceasing to be one:
" But let me recal-your attention to the merrier-
able Decree of the 2-1-th of September. What did
we _then do ?. We declared the Decrees of/Bay-
Onne unlawlnl and null ! and for w hat reason ? Be-
cause the at of renunciation was enteted into with-
out the consent of the nation.' To whom has that.
' nation now devolved its cause ? To ourselves. We
are its representatives, and.by our original consti-
tution could take few steps without the will of our
constituents. But when the people placed po‘l er in
our hands, did they deprive themselves of the itn-,
portant right of inspecting and canvassing our ac-
tions ? Why'did we, on the 24th Sepietnber, de-
cree the responsibility of the Executive Govern-
ment ? Why did we assure-to ourselves the power
of reviewing its actions ? Because we were plac-
ing power in the hands of Men who- might easily
abuse it, if-there were no. bridle to check them,
and there is no bridle but the. Cortes. But are we
infallible ? Are we not liable ro err i Can the
people, on our fist assembling, have such conft
deuce in us as to requ;re.no precautions ?, Have
not the people the same right over us that we
have over the Executive Power Suppose the
Legislative and. the _Executive were to unite tere,
stwedespotism, have the people no defence ? -No
resource ?
' " Let ,us not here, be perplexed by metaphy-
sics, but let us be guided by fa;:ts,-- teast.tn, and ex-,
pertence.
" The people have one resource, -the Press.. But
if that be debarred them, what signifies it, w. he-
qier they be enslaved by one, by five, by twenty,
oi by an huhdred.
a41.,` Wh saf4y for their right have the people
er ourselves ? \ The people
_Of Spain, have ever
detested civil wars. But there is a Poe fie mode
of...obtaining redress, namely, the bold .expression
of Public 'opinion. This is the people'; 'safe-
guard, and we are not yet sufficiently awake to its
vast -power of forcing Government's to be just.—
Yet by this, and,by this 'atone, can time nation be
saved.

But if you deprive the People of the liberty of
speaking and writing, how is this to be de-
clared ? It 1,. were to tell my const,tue'nts it", Es-
tremadani, of a previous censorship of the Press,
what would they say when they found, that to ex-
press their opinions 'threy must .send to the Cortes
for a license ? •• -
" It is, therefore, one of the rights of mankind
to have the free liberty of the press ; a s)stein both
wise in theory, and confirmed by pra&ice and ex-'
perience. England, .by enjoying it, has successfully
resisted despotism.- Whilst the Liberty of the Press
exists, Parliaments cannot be suppresse4 : ,on the
contrary, they gather-strength to curb the Crown.
The high situation in which England now is placed,
arises from the Press; for-a free Press, in a free
Country, gives that powerful arm of public opi-
nion without which all others are vain.

l'he second point I have to call to your notice
is its, necessity.

Grounding, as I have done, the liberty of the
subjeet on a tree Press, '1 next declare, that in no
other way can Spain be saved. I repeat, that if the'
limitations with which we propose. to. curb- the
Executive Power are necessary, much More so are
those restraints on'ourselves, which afford our Con-
uents the ine.ms of watching over our condud.
I have spoken ot
.experience. It St4in had been
able to express her public opinion; would all those
tolaan;us scenes ot totrigne have been permitted
in the Escurial ? Would Godoy have long' re-
tained a 'power which has proved so fatal to his
country ?

_!‘, If the Ptince of Wales in England were placed
a prisoner in own' palace,'under flip, will 'of bad
Ministers, would the English nation. be silent,? Yet
we have been silent ; and this sufficiently proves,
that Rwrty, without a tree Press, althought it may
be 11w good man's dream, will still bc: nothing but a
dre:4ln,

I wish to argue this question' dispassionately,.
and with calm reasoning. The difference between
myself- and my opponents is, that they conceive the
evils of a-free Press to be as a million, the good as
twenty. I, _on the cow rary, think the evils are-as
twenty, and the good as a million. They have
warmly digressed on all its dangers., If I were now
to run over all the e4ils incident to civil society, the
curses of ambition-, the horrors of war, the woes of
faMine, and the devastation of pestilence, I could
frighten you all. But from •the• dreadful picture
I might draw, would you forget the good of
society, and conclude to destroy it ? Here we
have no Republic of Plato. Here we stand, fal-
lible men, with
_all the mixtrire of- good and evil
Wonging to our condition, and it is from a balance

alone of advantage and inconvenience that we can
torm a ills t decision on any question. A great in-
quisitor of Spain was desirous of translating' the bible
into Spanish. What torrents of abuse were poured
on hitn for the attempt! The same language was
applied to his efforts as to ours. What was his
answer "I do riot deny its inconveniencies, but
is it usetur or not ou the baldnce ?" The same is our

_ .
Case, Had Gat inquisitor succeeded,-the good would
havebeen lies own-7—die evil, that DI our natures.

" To conclude. I believe tije nation to possess a
sacred and inviolable right to the freedom. of the
press, as the only means by they can assert
their just controut over the conduct ot their
sentatives. This principle is general but at this
Motnent they doubly require it in the absence of
their beloved King. When he returns, he will
have the power, in attending to the proceedings of
the legislature, to assert his awn prerogatives. Un-
til then, the-people have not only their own rights,
but those of the monarchy to maintain. It they
do•not.maintain them, who can say -that this coun-
try will'not follow the steps of Revolutionary Fiance,
and the Cortes become a National Assembly. -Let
those who dread Republicanism from alit Liberty of
the Press, lout: at the reverse of the picture and
tremble. I again repeat it--7the only safeguard for
the Rights of toe People, and theprerogative ol the
King, lies •in the tribunal of public opinion. Let

the Cortes be rreserved pare. 11 they became cot'
rupt, the people will become so too. We rmist,
therefore, strengthen ourseiveS From the only source
of purity—the public opinion.
