WHO.

After complaining against the New Laws, and
the Parliament by which they were ellaCt ell, ►lie
leading RadiCal-exclaims—" But let us talk- no
" more about them till Spring—till days are
" longer and warmer—and then, a deal of fingers
" will itch if they are not in action."

Our Readers will not desire to see the original
bad spelling, which is genuine.blackguard.—They
may be assured • this is its literal interpretation.—
But stay—upon second thoughts, Mr. Wane shall
not have the plea of our mis-stating its mischief :
" Bo lets tavtk nn moor o-hcativt ual till spring—
" till days ar langur un warmur—un then o-deeol
" o-fingurs ul itch iv they arnot in action."--Let
Mr. WROE put any other meaning upon this spe-
cial invitation, if he can. 1

How admirably the Radical plan accords in all
its parts and members !—" A deal of fingers will

" itch if they are not in action," says Mr.
Witos at Manchester :—abstain from excisable
articles, and " it will strengthen you for the time
• " of action;" says Mr. IILINT at the Crown and
Anchor.—They are all in a story, and, like the
ancient Orator, Action—action—action—is their
first, second, and third requisite.
The Jargon which we have above interpreted is
not used for concealment. No. It is the lan,,,,:uage
best understood by the wretched ignorants in
whose district it circulates. And they will, of
course, practice its lesson ; and shortly effect the
'' action" for which it " itches their fingers."—
If the blessing of education is tins ungratefully
perverted—if the faculty of reading is applied, as
we fear it too generally is, to the mental pruriters
of blasphemy, sedition, and impurity—if the lower
orders are rendered incapable of positive virtue,
and can bold their innocence in its negation only,
then—they most be shelte).ed from clime in igno-
rance. 'Better it were, that they knew not A from
Z, than that they employed their knowledge
Upon WROE, and WOOLER, and CARLILE., and
COBBETT.

We are led by this consideration into a question
which has long occupied our minds. IT IS NOT
SUFFICIENT TO GIVE TDB POWER OF READING,

UNLESS THE DISPOSITION OF RF.ADING RIGHTLY,

EIIALL BE GIVEN ALSO. Hitherto, our institu-

tions, praiseworthy as they ate in their intent,
have given the power only ; and trusted the dis-
position to the human heart. They have selected,
certainly, modes and vehicles of instruction, which
Carried in their very elements the means of piety
and morality :—hut they have not created or se-
cured the disposition. Perhaps it was impos-
sible : perhaps it was an object to be wished
rather than attained. He, however, who could
solve its problem, would do more good to man-
kind Than art or science ever yet accomplished,
In the mean time, we are perfectly content to
be thought the friend of ignorance and of despo-
tism. But, rather than see Blasphemy or Treason
made the study of the labourer, the theme of the
scribbler, and the profit of the schemer, we would
consent to see the advantages of educa,ion nar-
rowed with its mischiefs, and•the Liberty of the
Press abr•idgedi with its danger. It is an excellent
thing, to he good and free together :—bu!,, let us
be good at all es,,.urs.

A melancholy instance of the danger of preci-
pitate interment lately took place in the city of
Pau.—A man who had been deaf and dumb from
his birth, awl who followed the trade of a far•
rier, went out to sup with a party a friends.
Having drank a great quantity of brandy, he be-
came alarminmly ill on his return home; a physi-
cian was sent for, who administered some po-
tions, which...however produced no effttct. In a
short time all signs of life ceased, the unfortunate
man was supposed to he dead, and his funeral took
place on the following afternoon. The funeral
service was ended in the church, and the body
was about to be conveyed to the burial ground,
when a noise was heard within the coffin, accom-
panied by groans. The terrified mourners imme-
diately stopped, the coffin-lid was °pencil, and
with horror they beheld the supposed corpse rise
up. Medical aid was immediately• procured, but
it was too late. The cold at;d privation of air
which the unfortunate man had endured while
shut up in the coffin, together with the horrible
sensations he experienced on his recovery—all
combined to deprive him finally of the lite to!
which he had thus been restored. lie survived
only a few hours.--(Lilerary Gazette )

HIS MAJESTY'S HEALTH.
This morning's Account of the State of the
Kitio's Health is as follows :

" CARLTON-PALACE, FEBRUARY 7, iseo,
" Half-paa Eleven o'Clock, A.m.

" The KING I►es hed a very good night. MS
MAJRVI Y proceeds in His Recovery in a very sa-
tisfactory maul-ter.

"HENRY HALFORD,
" WILLIAM KNIGHTON."

We understand, that the teason the above Bul-
letin WAS not signed by Sir MATTHEW TIERNEY
is, that the KING was So much better on Satur-
day that he left town fot Brighton.

The following Bulletin was issued yesterday :
" CARLTON PALACE, FIIFIRVARY 6, 1820,
" Half-past Eleven o'Clock, A.M.
"The KING continues better.

(Signed) " HENRY HALFORD,

1, WILLIAM KNIGHTON,
"mATTHEw JOHN TIERNEY."
The Porters at the gates of the Palace, and all
the Servants appear in deep mourning.

We received yesterday and this morning the
Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday last. • The
Chamber of Deputies had a public sitting on Wed-
nesday, at which M. de LACROIX-MAINFILLE re-
ported from the Committee on the projet re-
specting the sales of national property. The Re-
port proposes a variety of amendments, and in-
deed a new modelling of the projet ; but still,
however, retaining the chief objects of it, security
for the possessors of national property against
both the claims of the Government and those of
the original proprietors. The Report wps ordered
to be printed, and the discussion to be opened this
day. The Chamber then proceeded to hear Reports
from the Committee of Petitions, but which pre-
sented nothing remarkable. A petition from cer-
tain individualss, who contributed to a loan of
12,000,000 francs to the King of Saxotay in NIL
secured upon the revenues of the Grand Duchy of
Warsaw, then in his possession, praying for some
security for the re-payment of their capital,was or-
dered to be referred to the Minister for Foreign Af-
fairs. At the conclusion of the Public Sitting, the
Chamber resolved itself into a Secret Cornmiittee,in
which M. de LAFAYETTE submitted a proposition
for praying his Majesty to direct his Ministers to
propose a.Projet for the definitive organization of
the National Guards of France. • M. Mastust. also
brought forward a proposition, praying that a
Projet might be presented for a new organization
of Juries. The consideration of both these propo-.
sitions was postponed for a week. It does not
appear very clearly when the Projet was to
be presented for the modification of the Elec-
tion Law. The Constitutionnel of Thursday has
a curious pat agraph, stating that " The new
Electoral Committee assembled yesterday (Tues-
day), under the Presidency of the future Grand
Elector of the Kingdom. All the different
Projets framed in the course of a year past by
the Doctrinaire's, the Ministerialists, and the
Ultrai, passed successively under consideration.
The Projet of 137 articles, prepared by M. de
BROGLIE and corrected by M. de SeTtßa, spas the
first under discussion. It was found too long, too
diffuse, its principles were considered too Demo-
cratic,aud its results appeared likely to be too con-
formable to the views of Monarchical men par ex-
cellence. It was put to the vote, and rejected by a
majority of 3to 2." The paragraph then goes
on to assert, that all the other Projets were suc-
cessively rejected, and that a Committee was ap-
pointed to prepare a new one, but which was at
all events to have for its basis the quinquennial
renewal of the Chamber. How far this statement
is correct remains to he ascertained. The Gazelle
de France records, that on the evening (Tuesday)
mentioned above the Ministers held an extraor-
dinary Council, to which were summoned the
Chancellor d'AMBFAY, the Duke de RICHELIEU,
the Abbe. de MONTESSUIOU, and the Marquess
GARNIER. This Council, whose deliberations were
prolonged till late in the night, is isserzed to have
had for its object the final examination of the
Projet resp-eciing the Election Law,,,but the result j 1

is'not stated. It appears, tht.-etofe, to be still
uncerrain, 'not only tvhat day the Projet will be
brouilit.fOrward, but as to what the arrangements
are, which it is intended to comprise.

The KING gave audience on Wednesday to the
Polies NUNCIO, and to some of the Ambassadors.
Sir CHARLES STEWART, the English Ambassador,
had -a private audience of his MAJESTY for an
ko

Froth Hamburg!) it is stated, that Geuerdl
GOURGAUD had been 3 entenced to quit that c`ty,
and territory a 3 3.0011 as be could procure passports
tor some other place, unlii which period he was
to remain confined.

General GILLY, who has arrived at Paris, is a
prisoner at the Abbaye, until he gets rid of the
sentence awarded against him par cantumace.
The Monitcur of Friday, contains the following
intelligence respecting the affairs of Spain
" The Spanish Courier brought yesterday, let-
ters from Cadiz of the 14th ult., Ronda of the
18th, and Madrid of the 24th.

" The Cadiz letters announce, that tranquillity
continued to prevail in the city, and that the po-
pulation remained estranged from the cause of
the troops who had assumed the title-of the Con-
stitutional Army.
The King has, appointed Gen. Freyre Cap-
tain-General of Andalusia par interim, and Gene-
ral in Chief par interim of the expeditiorary
Army: M. Valdes, Governor of Cadiz, is Chief of
the Staff ; be has been summoned to Seville by
the new Captain-General, to concert uteasto es
with hint.

" Eight hundred men arrived on the 13th, from
Seville, at Cadiz.
" Several Proclamations announce that an im-
posing force was marching against the Revolters;
that 8000 men had left Madrid, and were march-
ing upon San Fernando, the capital of the Ida de
Leon ; and that the rest of the Expeditionary
Army had been sent to the interior.
" It appears that the Governor of Cadiz had
been too late in sending reinforcements to Ca-
racca ; it was only on the 12th that he sent 500
men thither of the Regirent of Sot ia, to reinforce
the garrison. But the Revolters presented
themselves in superior numbers before the place,
which was surrendered to them. The let-
ters explain this want of resistance by saying,
that the insurgents manifested- a determina-
tion to burn the Arsenal and all the Naval
establishments ; to avoid this calamity, the garri-
son decided to abandon the Fort.

Caracca is in the Isla de Leon, at -the
extremity of that part of the Bay of Cadiz,
which is called the Bay of Puntales, on the
river of Santi Petri (this 'must not be con-
founded with the river of San Pedro, which flows
on the side of Saint Mary,) The Revolters
seized the ship Saint Julien, which was in the
Port. The Officers were allowed to proceed to
Cadiz ; the Governor was sent to San Fernando.
" The Govertatnent of Grenada has put at the
disposal of General Freyre, six regiments of in-
fatitry, which are designated by the title of the
Division of Grenada. These are the regiments
of the King, Gallicia, Zamora, Malconia,Valencia,
andXaen. They are commanded hy Gen. O'La wlor.
General Freyre is to be furnished in the king-
dom of Seville, with the Regiments of Spain and
of the Crown, and also the Provincial Grenadiers.
His Cavalry consists, Ist, of the Cavalry which
forms part of the Expeditionary Army, 2,500 men,
2d, of the Royal Carabineers, SOO Men, and of
CuiraSsiers, 450; Numancia, 300; Santiago, 250;
LuSitania, 500; Algarve, 300; total, 5,000 men.
" This General will have, besides the , Regi-
ments of the Expeditionary Army, which remain
faithful ; namely, ti►e Regiments of the King, of
the Prince of America ; 2d, of Cordova, of
Valencia, and of Guadalaxere, which are to unite
at Marchentt, under the orders of General Crux.
The army is reinforced by 6,000 militia ; orders
have been besides issued, that four companies by
battalions of the militia of Andalusia, are to be
placed at the discretion of the GeneraL

" The above details are extracts of letters from
Ronda and Cadiz. The following is from Ma-
drid, the 24th
It had been said, that Admiral Cisnero had
succeeded in escaping from the revolted army,
and that he was on board the squadron ; he is,
however, still a prisoner at Cusco. What gave
rise to the report, was the presence at Cadiz
of M. Vile Vicience, appointed to replace provi•
sionally the Admiral.
The intelligence of the entrance of the Insur-
gents into Caracca, has probably given rise to the
reports which have been circnkted at Madrid on
the 221, that the pots of Cortadura was in their

possession.'
" Letters from Cadiz, of the 18th, received at
Nladrid the 24th, positively state that that port Was
maintained by a garrison of inviolable fidelity."
" The Journal de; Del)ats after mcotioning some

of the above ta.cts,says, " The best ppitit prevails at
Cadiz, where the inhabitants rival the troops and
the Royal Navy in making the places secure against
the attacks of the rebels ; General Freyre after
reinforcing the garrison of Cadiz with a regiment
of Infantry, has assembled between Seville Pod
Uirera, 12,000 Infantry, and 2,500 Cavalry•
On the 20th tilt, he was ready to march at the
head of his troops, to attack the Rebels, who by
their numerous desertions, remained reduced to
about 2,000 men, and %tit° would be obliged
yield to superior nu►ubers."

The Journal de Paris says, " Letters frool
Madrid of the 22d ult. mention a report that the
Rebels had obtained possession of the COrta.dorSi
and had entered Cadiz ; but this news is eoutr¢'
dieted by ad vices how Cadiz of the 18th."

Papers of PI itiay :
" The Council of Ministers which was to 100
been held yestei day, is countermanded.

We have now the pleasure of congratulatin4
the Country on such an amendment in the state
of his MAJESTY as promises an entire a id speed,'
restoration of that health which is so interesting
to the sv;llare of the Empit e. Front all we hear,
and on which we confidently rely, the new Reign
is likely to become one of the most beneficial that
the Country has ever enjoyed. The precarions„
health of our late venerable Monarch rendet ed it
necessary that the Mir Apparent should
pare himself for the exercise of those bloc.
tions to which he might be suddettly
and we have reason to believe, that though
he did not deny the pleasure of s(,cial society,
he had been for some time more than usually
attentive to his health, and devoted a considerable
portion of time to study, and particularly to tlt!il
subje6t of national policy. Ilk MAJEsrv's long ex'
perience, his various attainments, his knowledge
mankind, and especially of the character of (hoe
who aspite to the Government of the Country'
after having opposed every measure that led
to the deliverance of Europe, as well as to !be
honour and security of the British Empire,
his enlightened mind, and filially, his getiuillf
NATIONAL CHARACTER, promise every blessing tw:
