To his MAJESTY'S ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

Silt--The Eleventh Number of " The Republi-
can," published by RICHARD CARLILR, on the
sth instant, calls the Jury which lately convicted
him " a predetermined Jury."
Is not this a LIBEL against the Administration
OF Justice
'

3/,, In the Twelfth Number of the same work,
vtblished by the same person on the 12th inst.,
be tOtes the following expression That arcb
" fiend and curse of mankind, CASTLEREAGH, is
" plotting the same scenes of blood and cruelty,
" in this country, as he lately enjoyed in Ire-
land."

Is not this a Libel against one of the King's

Dlir►isters ?

In the same Number be proceeds thus :—" A
" civil war is evidently the it of the Re-
" GBNT and his Ministers : ehey publicly avow
"it they have no hopes of Continuing the pre•
" sent oppressive system, but by, military force
" and execution."

Is not this a Libel against the Executive Power 2
Is it not something worse than a Libel?

Throughout the same Number he advises the
People to take up arms against the Government.

Is not this HIGH TREASON ?
In the same Number he declares his resolution
of disseminating his Anti-Christian Doctrines from
his prison, so long as pen and paper are allowed

Ought he not to be interdicted from the means
of circulating his poison, by the privation of All
instruments of correspondence ?

Sir, the Indulgences of the Law were not made
for its Violators. He who puts himself out of the
pale of Christian belief, has no privilege in the
circle of human protection.

MORE RESIGNATIONS.

The following Letter has been transmitted to
that much•injured Character, Mr. NICHOLAS
NIM, late Corporal in the Coldstream Regiment
of Guards. Our Readers will see by it, that the
name of virtuous indignation has extended from
Messieurs PILLBOX and STUMP. to the equally
honourable Patriots of Lewkner's•Lane.

" Dear Corporal Nim—l am this day informed,
that the Officers have disgraced themselves and
alarmed the service, by your expulsion from the
office of Corporal in the Coldstream Regiment, in
consequence of your having opened certain letters
addressed to your comrades.
" If such me❑ as your Carporalship, of neat
accomplishment in seal breaking, and of such in-
disputable dexterity in your vocation, as your
rank, your experience, your long lite of regimen-
tal opposition to the encroachments of arhitrat y
regulations, entitle you to—if such men, my dear
Ntt►s, are to be removed from the subordinate
posts of the Army, fur the simple offence of open-
ing other men's letters, it becomes the province
of every lover of Radical Freedom to express his
decided abhorrence of a system, which seems to
sport with the convenience of our active and dex-
terous fraternity.
" As one of the rum Lads of Saint Giles's, and
as one of the Fancy, I am eager to participate in
any presumed disgrace which the infatuation of
an absurd law may inflict on those who doubt the
justice of the sentence of the Court Martial at
St. James's, and the propriety and humanity of
the punishment appointed by them.
" These two Documents have deprived me of
that assurance, which is obviously indispensable
for every dexterous chap, that he shall not be
ordered, as a member of the light-fingered corps,
to relinquish the purses of the unsuspecting men,
women, and children ; and I cannot consent any
longer to serve in a gang, wherein the only secu-
rity I have for not being shipped off for Botany
134 y, is the discretion and temper of the Officers
who composed such a Court-martial, anti the
Drummers who executed such a sentence.

1 must request you, therefore, to communi-
cate my resignation. The day is come when the
friends of free purse-cutting must fhsh their
ivories, as my friend the Tooth-drawer says, or
have Y lucked jaw for ever.
" 1 remain, my deer Ncl,
Your trusty and loving Brother Radical,
" Knave's-acre, Nov. 17. " PETER FILCH."
