TIIE REFORMER.-ESSAY IV.

While I have again waited for the abatement
of matter, which seemed to claim precedence in
the pahtic cur osity, the time has glided on to the
opening of a New Parliament, the debates in
which are likely still more to interfere with my
much !rumbler claims to attention. In the inter-
val, I have begun to suspect, that my speculations
s 3 e not such as will obtain much favour from any
11.irly in the Country. Ministers will not be eager
for them, bteamte they do not tend at all to ioereaie

their present rawer, or lessen their most pressing
Opposition will be eqwslly indifferent
to them, because they have no immediate ten-
dency to throw the h,lance of r Milled power into
their hands. Reformers nut of Parliament will

tte•pise them, hecanse they recommend no sudden
changes or bold experiments ; and Radical Re•
formers, least of all, will allow them the studlest
shcolow of hymn., because they will think that
they betray the cause of what they call TUE PEO.
PLE ; but ►vhat is in fact oily a part, and, in
many of its finalities, a very interior I►art, of the
Collective people of this Empire.

Under these disadvantages; I should almost he
inclined to relinquish my undertaking, were I not
encouraged by the reflection, that calm, prudent,
and impartial counsel, tho,,gh neglected for a
time, while more active principles are in motion,
may perhaps, after lying long dormant, like good
seesis within the earth, by some favourable cir-
cumstances. be brought up towards the surface,
where they may spring and germinate, and pro-
duce abundant fruit. Should this never happro,.
I still shall feel some gratification in having made
my effort for the public good, and recorded my
sentiments, whether worthy or unworthy of more
notke. ire who gives the best he has,
acquits himself of the demands of duty; and
though his poverty may be despised, his intention
mlst be re.pected.
IVith regard to the ahnse complained of by
IghaAx, of creating occasional votes in close
B, toughs, ,I see no reasonable objection to its
prevented in twit, e, by such a Bill as that
which he advocates. imposing an oa.h upon the
Electors exactly similar to that imposed by former
,acts nuon Electors for Counties, and for Cities
and Towns, which are Counties of themselves ;
only without specifying the value of the freehold,
or so fixiog it, as to comprehend all those who are
at present bona fide voters.
But my plan gots further, nod tends, in pro.
ceas ,•f time, to transfer the right of viring from
all borntiglis, where the constituents are so few,
as to make the name of an election ridiculous,
and to confer it either upon some neighbouring
place of ;;seater importance, or so to extend the
franchise in the same place, as to produce an dee-
, lion liable to no such censure.
But, to exclude the operation of present in-
. tercets and passions, and to prevent all injury to
property, and to privileges, long connived at, it
,not legsliaed, my proposal is, that the process of
change sbould be extremely cautious and slow.—
) would first ascertain, by sworn Commissioners,
or by secret Committees of Inquiry, the actual
state of all the small Botoughs ; or all that are
suspected of being imperfectly constituted. Net.
would I advise the attempt to legislate upon this
information, till the facts ['horrid be fully deter.
mined. I would then propose to frame a Law
st hid] should gradually extinguish the franchise of
such places, only as the lives of the present con-
stituents should fall in. That is, supposing the
actual Electors to be ten, and one to rirop. I would
continue the right to the nine, then to the
eight, and even to the last survivor : after whose
demise, and to sooner, the new regulation, pre-
viously settled add defined, should at once take
place.

I am perfectly aware that many difficulties
would be found in carrying this or any o►her new
plan into execution : but ample time tvotlld thus
be given to consider and to obviate all objections.
No present interests would be injured, no pre-
sent ambition gratified or repelled; but the
amendment would be left to that safest of all
agents, Time.

I perceive, of course, that the Representation,
in such Boroughs, would continually become more
and more imperfect till their final extinction.—
But the end being fully in prospect, that imper.
Jection might very well he tolerated. AS to the
detail of particulars, it is tar beyond the calibre
of an Essay to enter upon it. lly object hms been
only to advocate the principle; hoping that thus
our constitution might at length be freed, even
from specious objections, but leaving the plain to
be matured and perfected by slow consideration
an,l legislative wisdom.

Ilcie, thcrefure, I conclude.

'We received yesterday and this mining the
Paris Papers of ,Thursday and Friday last. The
Chamber of Deputies, on Wednesday, resumed the
discussion of the Articles of the Projet respecting
the Customs, which was also continued through
the Sitting of Thursday, and then again adjourned
till Frioay.

The King transacted business on Wednesday
with the Ministers of War and the Interior, and

fixed for his departure for Spain.
The Electoral College of Rouen (Seine Infe-
rieure) completed its deputation on Tuesday, by
the election of M. ALExANDER LAMIZTH, formerly
a Member of the Constituent. Assembly.

An article from Yrun, dated the 201 h ult, states,
nn the authority of travellers who bad arrived
from Pampetuna, that apprehensions were enter-
tained of a commotion in Navarre. It is said
that the enthusiasm of the Navarrois for MINA
had diminished, and that they appeared inclined
to oppose fir Projet of his for raising a corps of
3000 volunteers, and sending away the troops of
the line. It is added, that on the 16th, to pro.
vide against an expected disturbance, all the pa-
units were di►nhlyd. The article goes an to state,
that at Saragossa and Tarragona, nothing but
anarchy prevailed, in consequence of its not be-

An article Iron) Constantinople states, that
at the Isle of Chios, in the midst of a tremen-
dOns storm, a violent shock of an e,rtlirlis.k t;

THE QUEEN.—According to the French Papers,
THB QUEEN is likely to land in this Countty
Within a very few days. We have little depend-
ance on any of the reports which announce ibis

character of our Paper, that it is by no means
likely to nappen. The Public may fairly ex-
pect some positive information on this subject,
from the Gentlemen who have recently been ap-
pointed her legal Representatives, and their silence,
we presume, may be considered as a negative proof
that the'report is ill-founded. The agitation which
her MAJESTY'S presence will excise, as there is
certainly a strong spirit of Party ready to rise in
her favour, in order to disturb the'country, renders
it in a great degree the duty of those Gentlemen
to afford some authentic intelligence On a point
so interesting to Government and the People.

of 300 men killed, missing, and prisoners ;
and it was with difficulty the Colonel escaped,
with fifty in number, in a very sickly condition ;
he was on his way to Mompox.
The Expedition which proceeded front Cartha-

As early as five o'clock this morning,, the difFe-

literally crammed by spectators, to view the aWtui
scene of death to eliich these poor misguided men
were subjected, .and :he windows and tops of the
houses for a great distance wei:e filled by spectator,.
Detachments of the Life Guards were stasioned
on Ludgate-hill, Newgate4tteet, Old Bailey,

of the Guards were privately placed between
the Court -yard of the Session- House, Comp-
ter, &c. in case of disturbence. There were
,other detachments, public and private, in other
Tarts of the town. Loot!. poles were placed at the
corner of each street, to prevent the ropulace from
corning too close to the gallows, and they were not

and, accompanied by Mr. Pollen, the tinder-
Flieritf to Shelia. Pat kilts, immediately went to
the condemned room, in which were sitting those
who!" ere ordered for execution, attended by eight
officers. When he entered they rose in the most
respectful manner. He held in his hand the Re-
cor6er's writrant, of the contents of which they
appeared roost:logs. A dead silence prevailed,
ipit ;title was not the slightest agitation observ•
able in the countenances or nlatilier of any one of

the prisoners.
7,1 r. Brown addressed them in the following
voids :—" It is my painful duty to communicate
to you thaz I hold the Recotder's warrant for the
execution of you, Thistlewood, logs, Brunt,
Davitison, and Tidd, on Monday morning. 1 hope
anti trust that the short time you ii3VC to remain
in this world will be employed by you in making
preparation for that to which you are going."
Thistlewood said immediately (and in the calmest
manuer)—" The sooner we go, Sir, the better.
Our wish is to die as soon as possible." The
others expressed the same sentiments.
Mr. Brown,—" 11 any of you wish to have the
assistance of a clergyman of any persuasion dur-
ing your preparation, let roe know it, and I shall
apply to the authority by which I am convinced
you will not be refused."
Not a word was uttered by any of the pri-

SOUlers.

Mr. Brown then said, " Let me entreat you
With effect to give up your thoughts to the con-
templation of the change which you are about to
undergo. Your time in this lite is very short
devote it to repentance and prayer to that Bring
who tc it not des:rt you at the motnent of fatal
separation.•
The prisoners did not speak nor make any
sign.

Mr. Brown then left the room, and the miser-
able men turned to the concerhation in which
they had been engaged before he entered, with-
out nay reterenee to the tidings they had just
heard.

Upon going to the condemned room, where the
six conspirators who pleaded guilty were confined,
Mr. Brown observed a very striking contrast to.
the scene which he had just quitted, as tar as re-
garded Strange, Bradbitt n, Cooper. and Gilchrist.
He entered with the Recorder's warrant in his
hand, which contained cheering intelligence to
them. Strange, Bradburn, Cooper, and Gilchrist,
seemed struck with consternation ; hilt Harri-
son anti Wilson showed no symptoms of agi-
tatior:. but appeared ratite' to despise that, to
pity the deplorable condition of their companions,
and uttered !•-ft a word expressive of hiye
Mr. Brown then inhomed them, that motley
had been extended to them, and that their lives
were spared.
Strange, .Cooper, Bradborni and Gilchrist im-
mediately tell on their knees, and after a lows r,
,ave utteta;;ce to incoherent and onintelligilde
expressions of gratitude. Harrison and VVilson
were still silent, and ;apparently unmoved.
Mr. Brown said, " I have now to show you
the dark side of the picture. Your unfortunate
miserable compamons in crime who were tried,
are ordered for execution on Monday morning;
and you, Harrison, Wilson, Cooper, Strange, and
Bradhurn, are transported for lite."
Wilson, who helure had appeared perfectly cal-
lous, now exclaimed, " Ah ! our poor friends; I,
am indeed sotry for them." Harrison said no-
rhiog ; the others were too much occupied with
the joy of their own escape, to bestow a thought
upon those who are to forfeit their lives.
Mr. Brown said, " There is one of the most re-
kable circumstances attending your cases that
ever took place upon any occasion ; and, if you
have any feeling, it must make a deep and inde-
ithle impression upon you. Those very persons
against whose lives your hands were about to be
raised, are the men by whose intercession your
lives have been saved."
Gilchrist has been respited, without mention
