DB.. NORRIS'S FEVER DROPS.

1-IEVERS of every kiwi, whether Typhus, In-
awm,aleire, Putrid, Bilious, or Nervous; the Yellow
nod other Fevers, Fluxes, and Bilious Complaints endemical
to hot climates, but especially destructive in the West In-
dies anti America; in the core of 01 which cases these Drops
m.te he pronounced a perfect specific.
l•Vitliout waiting for a crisis or paroxisin of the disorder,
given agietably to the directions in the several and distinct
Cases, not a single instance has ever come to the know-
led4e t:1 Dr. Nonsts, in which they have failed to cure.
As a febrifuge, an antiputrescent, and a tonic, these in-
valuable Drops stand at present unrivalled, and if it were
po,:ible for any :ledicine to merit the name of universal, the
most extensive k successful experience declares this above
all others to lit e;ititled to it.

person cannot make a conspiracy, so erne person,
cannot form a coalition ; though one perspu may
coalesce with soother, and thus deny it, agreeable
to set form .raiol fashion. Besides, Sir, even
though Candidates keep clear of absolute personal
co,,lid,m, that does not prevent their Committees
from coalescing., nor, as it seems, the Candidates
from asserting their own personal innocence.
Bat to the Old Story.—X,SOP, you remember,
tells us of two thieves—l bet pardon—two Gen-
tlemen, who stole a piece of beef, hut divided the
affair so, that one took the beef, which Abe other
carried : on being questioned, however, their an-
swvrs were ready—they did not deny the joint
(WithO'it a pun), or coalesced robbery, but whilst
one declared that be had not the beef, the other
AS loudly urged that he did not take it.
Again, Sir, when we find Mr. HUNT indicted
for illegally calling and assembling an unlawful
meeting for improper purposes, and for taking the•
lead at the meeting, for which he was taken up
before he could proceed to greater extremities—
I ask, Sir, who that knows this, and then hears
Mr. HUNT cross-question the witnesses as to
whether any actual riot took place, a matter of
no importance either as to the proof or subversion
of the real indictment—who, indeed, can fail to
recollect the old story of Paddy and the Spade ?
" What have you to say, fellow," said the Jus-
tice ; " here are two men who swear that they
saw you steal it Plaze your -Honour," re-
plied poor Pat, " it your Worship will only give
me fi!,e, I will bring TWENTY that will swear they
(lid not see rue take it !"

P. S. Mr. MINT has published seven reasons
%vhy he shall apply for a new trial ; but he forgets
the eighth and mist important of all—He does not
like the OLD one !

FOR THE SUN.

MR. EDITOR-1 was truly glad to see your con
tradiction of the report, concerning an Illpstrions
Military Character, who, sincerely wish, :nay
io addition to the glory he has acquired (for a
"conquering Hero" he certainly has been) main-
tain that respectability, which can only be secured
by an attention to all the moral and religious
duties in all the public and private relations of
life. In saying this, I irnst.l am really " Unus
nattiorum," and here, let me observe, that your
alteration (perhaps accidental) of my signature
to " ?hens multorum," though it preserved the
sense its some respects, for I believe 1 expressed
the " mind," (opinion and feeling) of many, and
1 hope the great majority, yet it does not com-
prehend that more extended sense in which I wish
it to be understood, and in which Hottace puts it
into the mouth of his friend " Fuscus ARIsTrUs,"
(" Sum polio infirtnior, torus tnultorun►")—in
answer to his own " Nulla mihi, inquatu, religio
est." I- believe it has before been observed of
this passage, that it affords a proof that some of
the Romans of that time were acquainted with
the rites of the Jews, (possibly with the funda-
mental tenets of their religion) and had even a
respect for them, probably arising in part from a
sense of their respectability, and also from that
wavering in religious opinion, which the con-
sciousness of the absurdity of their own mytho-
logy would naturally produce in thinking minds,
and which all the pride of their philosophy could
not afford them a satisfactory resource against.
And this, perhaps, was no bad preparation for the
reception which Christianity afterwards met with
amongst them. HoRACE himself, " EPICUKI de
Grege" as he was, and eviden,ly as he meant to
oppose his Epicurism to Judaism in his " eredat
Jurftis Apella, non ego,"—(but hew absurd his
" Deos didici securun► agere cevum," &c.) is
obliged to confess a change of opinion in his
Ode, (" Patens Deurum coltor," &c.) where he
renounces those he held,-" Insanientis tldu>t Sa-
pieudie consultas,"—a confesSion we might well
enough expect from time good sense and feeling
that pervade his works, and front the amiable
frankness with which he sometimes regrets, and
sometimes laughs at his errors. Who that has
enjoyed the charms of tioRACE'S Conversation
(tor to read an author, may in some respect be
called convers►nr~ with him) and that believes (as
every reasonable man must do) in the immortality
of the soul, but must wish and hope, that

Hon Ace's good tinalities may have atoned, eve
lor his " mine ptiellartirit, imeiorton rile fu

cores 1" But, Sir, it is much more important for
us to wish and hope, that we, who have obtained
tar" superior light to those possessed by the hea•
'hens, who, as " Gentiles," were to be " judged
by their owit'laws"=•-that we, in spite of the
" Wild( acts'' (as PETER MORRIS justly calls them)
of " Republicans and Infidels," should adhere
firmly to that " ancient loyalty and ancient faith,"
without viltich we cannot hope to preserve the
prospriity with which we have so long been
lavoto ed. In these beraialent3, 1 hope I may
again sign myself,

UNUS MULTORUNI.

Bard to the rights possessed by your. Saxon
cestors individually, they could not be very nu-
merous when a great proportion of the People
were serfs of the soil, and obliged to plough or to
fight, daring the Danish invasions, which com-
menced in 832, just as their superior Lord or
Thane directed them.

You may be told, indeed, that a great proportion
of your family are now obliged either to plouglt
or fight to gain a maintenance; but then observe,
my good friend, that they have, at the present day,
a choice. He who prefers the plough or the
loom may stick to it ; whilst he who loves fight-
ing or rambling, need never want amusement
either in a red jacket or a blue one.
For several reigns, until the accession of
ALFRED by the deaths of his brothers, there was
little but the right of hard knocks, until a great
body of Danish invaders being defeated by that
Prince, he, with a generous elemenq, spared their
lives, a thing not much in fashion at that time,
and, with a most heroic prudence, formed the be-
nevolent design of rendering them useful to Eng-
land and happy in themselves. For this purpose,
lands were assigned to them, and thus, JonNNY,
you came to have the first dash of Danish blood in
your veins; but it brought you do rights—Pri-
soners of War, whose lives were merely spared,
could possess no rights or privileges except thoie
their Conquerors chose to accede to them.

It was in the reign of ALFRED that the couseque►►ces
of the rapid change of circumstances which ensued
from the Union, under EGBE RT, rendered it ne-

zessary for the King, not by Act ot Parliament,
but by his own sole order, or Older in Council, if
your please to have it so, to make an entire new
regulation anti division of the whole Kingdom,
which appear to differ considerably from the esta-
blishment under the Cornier Provincial Chiefs;
and for this purpose a strict survey was taken,
and collected into a book called the Book of Win-
chester, the first thing that ever appeared in the
kingdom like a registry of- lands, or written au-
thority by which claims of descent and inherit-
ance could be regulated and secured—not an un-
important thing,JoiiNNY, for rur right of pro-
perty.. This was the first division of England
into Counties ; and therefore, notwithstanding
Major CARTWRIGHTIS loud assertions about early
Parliaments, i+ is evident that if they eratted be-
fore this period, they could nor Live had any
County Members ; nay, 1 ques•ion whether a
Seditious Baronet, or a Patriotic Brewer, could
have been found at that period either for West-
minster or Middlesex. Indeed, I suspect i, would
be very difficult to ascertain where the ancestors
of Our great Reformers were at that period ;
as Carts were unknown, CARTWRIGHTS had of
course nut been heard of. PORCUPINE, the BLACK
DWARF, and the LORD of the MANOR of GLA,TON•
BURY, would find it equally difficult to prove he-
reditary claims to Rights and Privileges at that
period : and as for the lsleworth Baronet, it is
well known that his paternal Ancestor did not
visit England until the time of the Norman Con-
quest, when be accompanied WILLIAM, and for
want of something better, was content to be bile
!cued upon one of the Monks of Ely Cathedral,
until the Conqueror robbed some honest Saxons
of their lands, in Leicestershire, and bestowed
them upon Sir Huta°, the Ancestor of this great
stickler for Liberty and Property
Let us leave, however, the contemplation of
such supporters of freedom, to record the noble
declaration of the really patriotic Monarch, the
direct Ancestor of our late lamented Sovereign,
a declaration that will he remembered when
IVILICRA'S 45, BECKFORD'S Statue, and BURDETT'S
Letter, shall be forgotten—" That Englishmen
ought to be as free as their own thoughts."--Af-
ter such a declaration the puny Speeches and
the rebellious Resolutions of Baronets, Brewers,
and Reformers, whether at Brent ford, Manches-
ter, Spatirlds, or Southwark, sink into nothing,
and your own wonder, JoieriNe, at being deceived
is not greater than that ot Your's,
IGNOTUS.

ttoolosi tli Cad( . Dthing the whole struggle, they
114vr been abusing their power without reason,
Staving at d,ffetent times, and on mere suspicion,
at rested tipwards of forty of the principal mer-
chants. It is generally believed that, finding
teeir power gone and their lives at stake, they
urged on the 11.001)3, by bribery and liquor,
to commit the excesses of which l have
given but a faint descrio:ion, The King's
signatote to the Constitution has been made
public this morning in an official manner,
but the Civil Authorities refuse to attend
any meeting till the troops are removed ttoto
Cadiz. The public mind is becoming more
traeqiiil than for several days past, hue'. still the
troops must be removed front the city before any
matt can consider his life as .secure. The fatal
consequetices of the 10th have not been confined
to the natives of Cadiz, but I am told that several
foreign Captains lost their lives in the confusion.
The Caplan' of the Navagores received a wound
in the side, and was robbed of every thing. It is
to be hoped the different Consuls will seek satis-
faction for the numbers of their countrymen killed
and wounded, and for the ricks to which they have
been iodividually exposed, Poor John Bull is
never properly represented. Our Consul, who is
bound to be in Cadiz, resides in the country, and
consequently we have no one to stand up for our
ridtts. The enclo•ed proclamation was publish-
ed by the Captaiu•General oil the morning of the
day when the work of butchery took place ; iu
fart, many wele reading it at the time they re-
ceived heir deaths :

" foliallitatits of Cadiz! Your decided will has pronounced
for the oath of the political Constitution of the Spanish Mo-
n achy. This event has caused no tears, nor produced any
of the disorders which rarely fail to accompany political con-.
vul-ions. The people of Cadiz have given on this occasion a
new proof of their good sense, and of the virtues which
form the basis of their character. But the extraordi-
nary nature of the circumstances in which we are placed
obliges us to talic measures to secure older, and to prevent
ill-designing individuals from introducing the' monster of
Anarchy inta the midst of virtuous citizens and true Livrrs of
their conotry. The formation of a constitutional municipal
!Jody must he the first of those measures. The individuals

who composed it in 1814 were nominated by your suffrages.
Let thenr. tet urn to falte charge of the security of your per-
sons, of your Foray, and of public °tilts* wh►ch it is
of so nitich importance to luaiitoin.

of Europe—,t day which will never be faraotten—a day
horrible and cruel. Ott the 9011 adiz seas (vie, and tranritio.
.1t 12 o'clock at noon nu that day General Freyre arrived
Iron. Porf St, hart's, and reacted Cadtz by the sea gate —A
crowd of pearl, wale collected to witness his catty. On his
stepping OIL share, he called out in a laud voice, which was
distinctly heard by numbers. " City of Cadiz, I am come to
establish you:. Censtitution." A gicateuthusia,nt was mani-
fested among the mass of the people; but the step ttppeared so
eatuttostiinary t,. many, that distrust could not he whally ba-
nished. "file Come-tat, however, at 4 o'clock, again -made his
appearance iii the square of St. A tomtit), and in pet atm gave
notice to the anblie, that on the following wanting, at 10
o'clock, he would install the stone of the Constitioittn, and
taw it should Ice sworn to immediately atterwal di. The peo-
ple, eat satisfied at Otis, feta, ray call, ti aloud, Now! now 1"
Geaural Freyre, apparently acted on Ity this dvclarittbil at the
public will, drew from his packet the beak of the Constitu-
tion, and kited it, exclaiming, " Now, then, the oath is
taken ;" to-merrow the reinaiuing requisite solemnities shall
be pet formed. Iratuediately after a flag was displayed, with the
emblem, " Live the Catistit titian, and live Freyre our regene-
rator." The General thorn required from the people an:issue-
:slice that no animosity crligvailCt: should lie shown against
any body: upon which the people called out, that " in free
hearts out iri.tliCe existed, and that all would be forgiven." At
this time I was in a !muse that commanded the whole scene.
Imsuediately after the gout and the castle were opened, and
all the persons sego had been arrested ware hi-might forth.—
This hustle cant limed the whole eight, during which the city
Swat 1111111111)altd, kilt Po liitiorder of any kind tuck place. The
1 tlhoring morning, in the Diariu, an order sigued by the Ge-
neral was issued, that all the houses should be decorated ;
that the municipal authorities should form themselves into
a arocessiun, in eider to assist at the regular Proclamation of
the Constitution, and that the city should be illuminated for
three 'tights its succession. The Stolle of the Constitution
was carried into the middle of the sqeare of St. Antonio, in
preparaition, for the ceremony. A message was sent to the
Isle of Letia, to ievite General Quirega and his Staff to be
peaCeUrain the occasion. The whole city on the morning of
the tath, exhibited a scene of pleasure and hilarity which
nailoug could equal. A large party proceeded towards the
land•gate, equipped with cockade,' of green and red, to wet-
. come the troops from the Isle of Leon. The haur of tea
approached; hut—my God! how can I expiess it?—as the
cluck struck, the humps began tiring upon the Unhappy people,
crying aloud, a Live Ferdinand, and down with the Canso-
tutitta !" The greatest teriair aud consternation ensaed among
the poor sntlerers, alto, in their confusion, ran against and
fell over each other, tint haws Mg in %% hat way escape could
with safety be attempted. I am credibly intOneed that iirataly
had been previously administered to the soldiers in laigequan-
titles, in entree to stimulate them to this deed of blond, and
in mder to inciease their ferocity and brutality. General
Freyre himself, I tau also assured, was sten at the head of the
troops, giving orders, and urging them on. As soon as the
aasenniled people had neatly ail dispersed, the oiticers disap-
peared from animig the soldiery orbit, deprived of the littlecon-
nail exercised neer them, saws lost all subordination, and the
whole city resembled a place delivered over to the horrors of
military assault. This settle of drunken violence and savage
brutality fasted from ten in the moratag till eight in the even-
ings when the officers again interfered, and by degrees suc-
ceeded in conveying the iutoxieated treops to their quartets.
The dead bodies iu the streets ext., tiled 400, and the wounded
are without tutu her. At flie scaffolding which was erecting
fur the ceremony of proclaiming the Canstitution eight car-
penters were at work, of whom five wine killed. Fill' bears
after the termination of this horrid business we were,loelsing
at each other, litre of us able to conjecture the causes that
produced it, yet no man venturing to question his neigh-
bours. Ibe whole business, it is now believed, was a stia-
tagem, fur the purpose of deceiving the troops in the Isla, anti
of decaying them to their destruction. Quiroga, it appears,
was deceived Icy the precetaliugs going on within the city,
but, by some accident, was compelled to defer his entry till
12 o'clock, by which tucaas he had time to hear of the com-
inencenseat of this horrible 'massacre, and guard against the
cousequences to himself and his troops."
" Cant z. Matiett 14.-1 tea. snit this merely to give you a
general idea of the dreadful situation into which this city has
been plumed by treason anal perfidy, not to be equalled since
the ereatimi of man. The meriting of the 10th, agreeably
to at: order published in the Diarie of the preceding day,
was fixed mein by the Governor and Civil Authorities for the
Proclamation of the Constitution iii the Place de San An-
tonio; and nut fur a moment duidning the truth, all PallictlSC
concourse of people attended; but, instead of meeting with a
Constitution, numbers of them lost their lives, and still more
were exposed to every kind of ill-treatment. Soon after their
aasemiiiing, the military, for-the major part ilitoxicated, en-
tered and fired upon the peaceable inhabitants, destroying
them without discrimiurniun, old or youtia, women and chtl-
dren. The town was given up to pillage, and the brutality of
a drunker' soldiery-.
" Dreadfel as it has been, however, I consider the horrors
are not ended, and so strongly an: I persuaded of the deter-
Minatiatt al the people to be revenged, that I am hourly ex-
pecting a mute hurrid scene titan the tragedy of the 10th. I
intend quitting Cadiz, if possihle, for Gibraltar, as it is a
long Irene before order can be re-established. All is fear and
(mint sion, and never did I witness any thing similar."
" CaotZ, faiitacit 14.—SinceFeiday last we have been in a
state little short of anarchy. . The publication of the Consti-
tution has been resisted by the garrison, who alleged that
the decree of the King had been exacted .from him be force,
and the morniag of the 10th, appointed for the celetuony,
was chatted intu a scene of massacre and confuaion. The
titansfi of course prevailed, as the populace were taken by
surprise ; but we much apprehend a repetition of the same
scene, in which the result may lie diliereut. All the houses
are closed, nor dues any one venture into the streets."
" SEVILLE, MARCH 15.—Cadiz is to a dreadful state, and.
we are not without apprehensions that similar scenes wilt
be exhibited here. Freyre proclaimed the Constitution at
Cadiz on the 9th, and on the following day collected nearly
all the people to witness the conclusion of the ceremony, to
which all the Foreign Consuls were invited. In the midst of
it, without any previous intimation, the unoldending people
were fired upon, and charged with the bayonet, the soldiery
fist even sparina, women and children ; 400 killed lay in the
'streets, and 900 were taken to• the hospitals. Freyre, the
next day, Heel to Putt St. Mary's, his head-quarters, whence he
issued orders to the Governors of all the towns in Andalusia,
calling on them to abjure the Constitution, although the
oath, by his own order, had been taken on the 9th. Gene-
ral Olatinoja, our Governor, received the order of abjuration
on the llth; hut, instead of counnunicatiag it to any one,
sent back for answer, " that an oath once taken must be ad-
hered to, and that it was nut to be assumed or cast off like a
part of dress." I think, therefore, that Seville will remain
hate to the Constitution. Valdes, Campana, and Colonel
Barrotelo, are said to be instigators of the affair at. Cadiz.
" I'. S. We just hear that tranquillity is restored at Cadiz,
and that the Constitution is to be 6W-01.11 to this day."
" Caw z, MAUCH 14, Twelve a'Claci, at Niiirlit.—We just
learn that the troops engaged in the late massacre are at this
moment hard pressed in their barracks, where they had bar-
ricaded themselves, be the people, and the other troops on
their side. It is possible that they may remain a long while
in this situation, a; they are by no means in want of provi-
sions. IVe have reason to believe that the barracks in pus-
session of the besieged troops are those of Santa Helena and
San 'toques, which are situated withia the two bulwark.; so
named to the front of the fortification of La Puerta de la I
Tierra."

[Morning r °nide.]
Letters received from Lisbon bring advice.
that Lord Beresford had al.ered his plan of going
over to Rio Janeiro, as the motives which had
given rise to it had ceased to exist, or it was per-
haps thought his presence might be required at
the head of the Government with which be hail
been entrusted. In consequence of this, the fri-
gate sent from England for the voyage, would not
bewauted. it is evident that a greal deal of fer-
ment and dissatisfaction lurks among the Portu-
guese, and certainly the success of the Revolution
in Spain would not tend to allay or diminish those
feelings. The residence of the Court in the Bra-
zils has not been favourable to the inhabitants in
Portugal, who besides. loudly complain that they
are overrun by foreigners in the army, -Hod most
of the offices of trust and emolument.

Gallicia put himself at the bead of a handful of
Militia, has been chased from that province, after
the entire dispersion of those under his orders.
• But they had the misfortune to lose Colonel
Acevedo, Chief of the National troops. His loss
is seesibly felt, as be was almost the only one to
quote in the Revolution of Gallicia.
• Some persons assert, that General St. Roman
has found a refuge in the Asturias, and that be is
still at the heed of a party.'

MADRID, MARCH 20.—Melancholy events
have happened at Cadiz, to disturb the ge'
neral joy. On the 10th and II th instant)
when the Constitution was about to be proclaim"
