READ. THAN WHAT TO BEAD.

Of all this, the ultimate remedy lies 'vitt' the,
Legislature. When the ancient test of stiffrage
shall he restored ; wben its amount shall be cal-
culated according to its relative value ; when the
lowest freehold shall be brought back, as it was
in the time of ilartav the SIXTH, to a yearly rate,
now amounting to twenty pounds ;—then, and not
till then, the Elective Franchise will be rescued
from ignorance, and corruption, and violence,
and replaced with its legitimate possessors. Then,
and not till .then, such men as Mr. BaouGnard
and his Electors, will sink to their proper level.
Then, and not till then, the only Reform which
is needful or salutaty, and God knows how much
it is wanted, and what good it would effect !
win be okained:' then, and not till then, the
preponderant power of an Election will be in
those Electors only, who have au interest and a
stake in their County's welfare ; whose station
and whose intellect place them alike beyond cor-
ruption and delusion.

How near may be tilia blessed Reform, 1 know
not. Intermediately, however, you have in your
own hands, not an entire redress of the evil, but
its partial counteraction. Exert yourselves, Gen-
tlemen, by your precept and your exaurple. Ido
not call on you to continue your former kindness to
the lower orders ; for 1 know that it will not relax.
But 1 adjure you, as you value the happiness, the
honour, and the security of the soil wherein your
nheritance is cast, that every Cleigyman, every
Magistrate, every Landed Proprietor, will resist
the baleful power and temper which have sprung
tip from that detnoralizing measure—the extension
of the Electoral Franchise. Your perwool exer-
tions, Aided by the institution of National Schools,
Savings Banks, and Friendly Societies, under the
direction of sensible Managers and the test of
sound and loyal principles, will do much toward
'restoring your County's morality, and peace, and
concord. 1 have little hope of abolishing the exr
istent evil, which bad men hive created for their
own purpO,ies, without the remedial hand cf the.
Legislature. But your active patriotism, if faith..
fully and energetically applied, will mitigate the
disorder. For your own individual sakes, for the
general sake of our County, I call you to the in-
stant and incessant exertion.

We received yesterday the Paris Papers of
Thursday last. Those of Friday, which were due
this morning, have not arrived. In the Chamber
of Deputies on Wednesday, the discussion was
again continued on the projct respecting the
Journals and Periodical works. Ai. Dmiux
proposed an amendment to he added to the 4th
article, to the rift-et that the Censors should allow
the free circulation of opinions unless they were
evidently contrary to the principles of m,►rality,
of religion, of the Charter, and of the Mo-
narchy. In the course of the discussion upon
this AMendment, M. Marquez. detailed a num-
ber of instances, in which, he stated, that
under the previous
,censorships, the most tyran-
nical controul had been exercised over the
Press. The Amendment was rejected, and this
result gave rise to violent murmurs. After
rejecting another amendment, the Chamber
proceeded to th consideration of the sth
Article, which, after the rejection of an antend-
ment for diminishing the punishment for pub-
lishing works or articles not previously com-
municated to the Censor,s, or not approved by
them, was agreed to. The 6th Article was also
agreed to, after rejecting an amendment proposed
by M. BENJAMIN CONSTANT, for exempting from
prosecution the authors of articles approved of
by the Censors. The Chamber then proceeded
to the 7th Article, in wl►ich an amendment was
moved to strike out the words giving a po.ver to
the. Government, upon a second offence, defini-
tively to suspend the publication of any journal or
periodical work. Upon this question, after some
debate, the discussion was adjourned till Thurs-
day.

DEFERRED SFOCK
Of the 22d March, 1817, B7 f. 50 c.

The Persian Ambassador left town yesterday,
morning on his return home, having accomplished
the Ratification of a Treaty between this Coon-
try and Persia. This event is highly honour-
able to Ministers, as well as of great ins...
pmtance to the Country, as it shows that they
have been able, to obtain an ascendancy in the
Court of Persia, and thereby to have added to.
the security of our possessions in the East.

The verdict on Ilosur's trial is considered by
that most despicable of all public Journals, the
Old Times, as a sobieet of triumph over Ministers,
whom they accuse of hating too credulously listen-
ed to reports of the alarming state of the gangs of.
Reformers from various places who appealed at
Manchester on the Ifith of August, And whom
do they chiefly accuse of having givert this false
information to Government—why respectable
Magistrates, as different from the writers in the
Old Times as light from dariness. That rancos.
rout Paper has the impudence this day to say,
ie We learn that some (4 the iklinisterial adherents .
talk of striking those Alagist rakes out of the Come
mission, whose inventions had intposed so strange-
iy upon Government." This is a mere wicked in-;
!motion of The Times, which itseit knows, that the
information giVen by the Mag:sATates to coverne
went, was in every respect well founded:. For
our oa-n parr we believe, as sre ',age before as"
sewed, upon the most onimpea,thable infaro"ti°llt
that the mob of Radicals went Strrned Ili.) clubs,
&c. end provided with stones, lust as they had
been described as having paraded to Matt-
chester. We inserted two I:tag articles Eoon
after, fully detailing the formidable state in
whißh they approaches! the town, and the horrors,
that tn;ght have been expected if the vi).lilance
of the Magistrates and the activity of the Military
had not promptly interposed. AVe do not racers'
to impeach the testimony of lioNT's witnessea.
They most probably said all they knew and
saw ; but they were doubtless selected for
their very limited knowledge on the soh-
ject, while it is well knows!, that persons
who, from actual knowledge could have givers
a contrary testimony, were afraid to coma
forward lest they might become the future victims
of Radical vengeance. It is highly honourable
therefore to Ministers, that they were more
willing\ that the leading Culprits should ese
cape than that ' the lives of honest men
should fall a sacrifice to Rebels whom re-
venue would have induced to resort to any
,horrible extremity to gratify disc rage of dis-
appointment on an occasion which they hoped •
might have led to -the total destructiAn of the
Government. The malignant 'finzes proceeds to
say, " them were no stones, no blick-bait4Ao
bludgeons used ; oo hootings or hissings na
Riot Act was read ; no obstrattion was givers
to the execution of the warrtant before the
military were called ; no Constables were atoned
to death, no guns or pistols fired, or even pow
sessed by the mob." The Times, in this broad, •,
and impudent denial, has introduced witiatnever was
reported—no Constables were s, ill t&. have been
atoned to death ; but the Times knows that all the
other circumstances which it so aualsciouslypretee"
to deny, did actually take place. We are-really 89"
tonished,with all we know ofth.a Times, at thistle'
ing outrage of truth and insult ti; authority. l'irs
tepeat our full dependence on t,ae existence of the
whole of what the Times so b(. 1;;;; denies, as well
as our firm belief, that Li U N.r- positively uttered •
, ithe words charged upon him b E tst Tvvi3L6, one

gave the negative testimony were not near en•
to hear t hem. Whyshould Ern's% 7.sts,who positi'vel
