cOutain the full sum and substance of all the ob-
jections which they can muster in opposition to
Tu ThiDENINITY BILL. The Noblemen' in ques-
tion have, no doubt, their reasons for publishing
this Curious Manifesto at present, for though they
are not themselves candidates, they cannot be
supposed to be indifferent to Parliamentary lute-
Fests, hut, on. the contrary, pnay be presumed
to be desirous, of conciliating the favour of the

constituent body in support of particular indiyi-
di!als. The eve of an expected Gellertll Election
is indeed a period which produces a considerable
bustle among the members of both HOuSes of Par-
liatuent, aml will therefore fully account for the
hstling Of this POLITICAL BULL at the present
Moment.. But if they have their reasons for pub-
lishing it at first,. wt have ours also for giving it
creased publicity, as it Unfolds their prinriples and
characters, and will .enal.,le the people at large
to judge how fur they are qualifiel to•assome the
reins of,Governinent, if it should ever hApirwo that
again they, fail into their hands. But let us now
eXamine this Party Document: It begins ‘Tidi
l'uerting, that there hat !nett " no widely
Precki traitorous conspiracy, nor even any
•lieosive to the Government,"

11°twiths!autti(,g the evidence of facts v.htch has
(filly s.atisfi,.ti the nation that such conspiracy did
aetttanyexist. Now they must be very inatten-
tive to triose. occurrences which-spread alarm over
tfte Country, wholly incapable of forming a proper
"liinate of probable consequences it they hail not
been checked in time, or they must voluntarily
have shut their eyes to the truth. Hence they
be negligent, weak, or they:must dissemble
opinions. Therefore, in whichever of these

points of view they nn'iy he considered, it is evi-
-denttliEtt they are totally tinfir to be trusted with
tote concerns of a great Ernnire. Whether they are

"41ess, shallow, or insincete, ail of which, in-
Ileed; might be inferred from the Document before
41, it unegitivocaliy proves that they are ineligible
I'4 the high stations to which they aspire. Grant-
14g that there was " no extensive disuffection,"
are "Ye to be limitrd in our judgment to the

actual stale of thios, and n►st to look forward

to the events which might attend them ?
There Was " no extensive disaffection " on the
t)rigin of the French ReVolution., but wicked till('

Before we take leave of this precious,composi-
tion which The Morning Chronicle of to-day
ascribes to Lord ERSKINE, we cannot but express
our surprize, -as .11',.‘ Lordship has always been
esteemed a very intlitf,rent Politician, and not

much superior as an author, thong-lithe title pa•7e
of one of. his pamphlets passed through many Edi-
tions, that the rest of the noble Suliscribirs should
Wave annoxed their signatures, p4tticulaoy Lord
HoLLAND, who can write, though lie certainly ap-
pears as an Orator •to most advantage in the Par-
liamentary Reports of the Newspapers... To con-
clude, we borrow the words of The Chronicle

with some variation :—" We hold it to be our
fluty to say', that if the House of Commons shall
pass- this necessary Bill, it will furnish the
best of all possible rules in the choice of. a
new one. If the Peol►le.shall not send back 'to
Parliament any one who votes for it, they will de-
serve no pity," for if they should chose such
Candidates as may be likely to support the pre-
tensions of the'PaoThsTons to a return to power,
and to forward such sneas►ires as those PaoTesToßs
Wray be expected to propose, our victory at 1V.1..
TERLOO will be rendered nugatory, and France
may again " cry Havoc, and let slip the Dogs at
War."

SIR SAMUEL RoMILLY.—n is painful to see the
effect of Patty feelings upon minds of a superior
cast. Jo the Chancery suit relative to the pecu-
niary claims of the Princess of Wat.Es, which our
Readers will find in another pert of our Paper, this
Gentleman shewed such a lamentable want of
taste, as to mix his politics with his duty as a
Counsel, when he said, adverting to Lord Lt

VE RPOOL, " he could not suppose that the con-
science of a Prime Minister was more than that of
another man." This,\ surely, is an effusion of
vulaar spleen, totally unworthy of the Hun. Gen-
tleman. By the way, if.. what we have heard of
the pecuniary Claims, in question, be true, it is
highly, and esseni ially, .proper that the Defendants
should have a full opportunity to examine the do-
cuments on which those claims nee founded.

Most vi the Country Journal•, we regret to
say, teem with lawentable accounts of the recent

hurricanes.

a numerous audienre, and with unabated ap-
plause.? -Mrs. RowNioN, who appeared, to so'
much advantage in Desilemona, again gave an in-
terestin charm to that character, and MAYwoon„
who does not seem to be sufficiently bought
forward, acquitted hims'elf so respectably in Itgo
as deservedly to excite much aprobation. The
farce was Three Weeks after Marriage. one of Mr
NILIRPHY'S best ,compositions of that kind,- and
