We feel the utmost grief at being compelled
to acquaint the Public, that after some dreadful
paroxysms endured by Citizen HUNT last night,
he appears this day sunk in incurable idiocy.
Unless his frenzy should return (which the
medical Attendants would prefer) the Bulletins

THE TH SATRE.

COVENT-GARDEN. The Provoked Husband,
last night, introduced Alias O'Nratt. in a new
comic character, that of Lady Town 'in which
she was played to by the gietuest actor of the
age, Mr. KIMBLE. RS her liege Lord. With
such support it may be exrctet; that all the Lady's
powers in this fine were•elicited, and if they were,
we • can only state as our opinion that her ex-
cellence lies elsewhere. Not but that there
was much to admire in her delineation of the part ;
still it wanted the tone and fashion and ease which
belongs to it,' and was, upon the whole, not well
calculated to add to it reputation so high as Miss
O'NEILL's. _ _ _

Same critics have foan,l Out that Mr.K EMMA Is

older than he was twenty years ago—we wish all
their discoveries were as true. But there was
none of the failings of years in his Lord Townly,
and all that was old about it, was the exactitude
with which a Nobleman of the Old School was
pourtrayed. In the more serious and passionate
scenes, where connubial tenderness struggles with
and is overcome by a sense of wrong, we never
witnessed any thing more just and impressive.
Talking of wrong, rem►nds us th►►t we have a
compliment to pay to the representatives of the
Wroughead family an:l their adherents. FAWCETT'S
Sir hands, Airs. Gull's, Miss Jenny, LtsTotes
Squire, Mrs. DavENPORT'S Lady Irronghead,
EMEUYY'S John MoOdy were all highly amus-
ing of their kind. Mr. ABBOTT played Manley
well, and Mrs. FAUCITT Lady Grace.

The Officers of the 3d Battalion Royal Scots

A journal of the capital announces the sudden
death of an, Advocate at Dunkirk, and attributes
the act of despair. which induced him to put en
end to his days ti) poverty. •It would be more
reasonable to assign, us the cause an unfortunate
adventure %villa' occurred to him, and the pain.
tot recollection of which was never absent from
his mind. While lie Was practising in 1812, be-
fore the Court of Liege, he- was one day official-
ly appointed to defend a young man accused Of a
serious crime. On going to communicate with
the prisoner, he discovered him to be his own son,
of whom he had not heard for five years. He
pleaded with eloquence... Abe cause ot the untortu-
nate youth. and • succeeded in mitigating his
punishment to hanishineot. The unhappy father,
however, afterwards lust his reason melancholy
and distraction of mind have at' length 'driven
him to the net which has been improperly as-
cribed to poverty.--(French Paper.)
There is now living at Kingdom!, in Hereford-
shire, a woman in the hundred and sixth year of her
age, who retains all her faculties in a remarkable
manner; her daughter, who lives with her, is
nearly eighty, and on going to the Overseers of
the parish for the relict all. wed her mother,
a few days ago, she remarked that the old lady
would have come herself, but she thought three
miles too far for the venerable dame to walk in the

A Morning Paper says—" The decline of bnsi-
ness is such in Dublin, that the bankruptcies
average about -25 per week."—We are sure this
news is neither obtained from the Gazelle not the
the Newspapers, which do not mention one. tythe
so many bankruptcies.
it Would appear by the Orders already given for
Tickets and Shares of particular Numbers at the
different Lottery Offices, that the Pahlic mean to
give the present Lottery more .general patronage
than they have given to Lotteries of late—Cer-
tainly the Scheme, being as it were a Bantling
of their own, it would b 9 unkind, after having
brought it forth, not to foster it.
RIOT AND COMBINATION 'AMONGST THE RESUR.
RECTIDN Ml:lN.—Tuesday evening the inhabitants
of Canterbury-square were extremely alarmed,
in consequence of a riot, which assumed the most
alarming aspect, having taken place at the house
of Mr. Millard, beadle to the dissecting-room at
Guy's Hospital, whose family was attacked by a
desperate gang of resurrection men, namely, Ben-
jamin Crouch, captain of the gang, James Hol-
lis, William
,Naples, Patrick Uarneth„ Peter
Ilannagan, Israel Chapman, and several others,
who were proceeding to acts of violence, and
threatening 'destruction to the family of Mr. Mil-
lard, in consequence of his infringing on their'
profession, by employing men ignorant in their
art in procuring snbjecta for the numerous stu-
dents at the hospital. Their vengeance, it ap-
peared, arose front the circumstance of two or
three persons having been emplosed by the stir-
geoos to procure subjects On one occasion, which
came to their knowledge, and they were deter-
mined to be revenged on the beadle, who was not
at all concerned. The inhabitants having col-
lected, the rioters signified that their allowance_
must be raised from four guineas to six, that they
wool(' allow fourteen days for an answer, and
unless their demand was complied with, they
would pay the beadle a more severe visit ; at the
same time %visiting it to be made known, that they
could command trade, bad as the timesAvere ; and
In the country their payment was no less than
201. on some occasions. The niob became exas-
perated, and but for thelnterference of:Mr. Mil
would have torn them to pieces ; they, how-
ever, got clear off, and Mr. Millard applied to the
Magistrates at Union-hall, where procured a war-
'vent for their apprehenSion. Some oldie party
were held to bail a tray weeks ago, at the cum-
plaint of Mr. Ashley Cooper, fos a similar offence;

As recorders of all events which are of sufficient
weight to merit notice, we have 'many painful,
and some disgusting duties to perform. To .the
latter class belong ',Lose accounts of factiows meet-
ings, which have of late so much disgraced the Bri-
tish character with those who do not consider them

in their proper light, as excrescences growing out of
our national liberty, endured foribe sake of a better
principle, which might be invaded eren by repress-
ing licentiousness too soon, and despised by the
mass of the people. Like other follies, this is
dying away, and what opposition might have ren-
dered important sinks into insignificance under
the weight of its own rubbish.

As public Journalists, we have also pleasant
duties to pertorin—duties dear .to humanity, in
discharging which the humble individual who
condUcts a periodical walk May feel himself exalt-
ed among the philanthropists of the age, em-
powered.to contribute his share to the patriotic
purposes Which improve the condition of his fel-
low creatures ; inspirit chat ity by shewing its
prevalence'; :and aid the spirit Of benevolence by
disseminating'the means in which it •can be. most
beneficially employed.
It is with these feelings that we continue to
copy front our provincial friends such intelligence
as suits the title given above. Such honourable
proOfi of the virtue, christian compassion, and
humane sentiments, which exists in this great
and glorious country, compensate us for the min-
tifications we endure in devoting our columns fit
other time to the annale of vice: and depravity. •
We have only one ivord more to premise : it is
this—" EMPLOYMKNT Is the TRUE RELIEF for

the Poor."
M Liverpool a Meeting of /be clergy, gentle-
men, merchants, &c. convened by the Mayor, was
held on Friday in the Town-Iran, to take into
consideration the most effectual means of afibrd-
ing relief to the labouring poor of the town, now
destitute of employment. A number of plans
were proposed and suggested, and certain resolu-
tions were finally adopted by the unanimous con-
sent of the meeting. The most prominent lea-

. _ .
lure in the resolutions is, the recommendation
to raise a loan, in order to enable the Trustees.
of the Docks to employ an additional number of
labourers upon their stupendous works at the
north and south extremities of the town, during
the winter season. The Trustees undertake to finrl
employment, during the winter, for two thousand
persons BOW unemployed, in-addition, to the num-
ber of about one thousand at present employed by
them, upon different public ti,ter,d works, provided
the sum of 20-,000/. or Upwards, be subscribed for
the Trustees, arid lent to them, upon the security
Of their redeemable bonds, payable in fire yews,
but convertible, at the option of the purchaser,
into untedkentable ones. These public works trill
not only be beneficial to Liverpool, but also to-'
the whole empire. Twenty thousand pounds,
says the Liverpool courier, is a small sum, when
distributeiramoug the. Wealthy inhabitants of Li-
verpool. The sum subscribed for this purpose,
we rejoice in saying, already amounts to 23421.
and the columns are rapidly swelling.
At Fiona., for the relief of the industrious
Poor, it has been arranged, that so many as arc
out of employ, on application to the Parish Offi-
cers, are instantly engaged in quarrying stones
by the load, at which they earn Bs. or Ws. per
week : .the stones are then taken to a- depot, and
disposed of, for ..the purpose of budding stud re-
pairing the toads.
A Subscription for the Relief of the Poor has
commenced at l%Voicester.' The plan of relief is
referred to a Committee.

information against a Gentleman of the natne of
Freres, on the affid,:tll of a Mr. ll'aPace, who
complained of various libels and trovocations to
fight a duel. The differences bet‘.reen the parties
had been of considerable standing., and, in the
latter part of the li:st year, Mr. WaHite receive:l
a letter from Mr. Freres, containing these ex-
pressions—" When I met Mr. Capper, and the ,
other Gentlemen, at the Royal Lintel (Birming-

Mr. Wallace took no notice; but subsequently,
in the month of October, he met Mr. Frere4, woo

COVRT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov:. 16.

TIM XING V. WALTER oGRAPY. '
Jurors being sworn to try the information
in this calm,

Mr. Kumuts stated the pleadings. He said that
this :tills au information in the nature of a writ of '
quo warronto; filo by Majesty's Attornoy
nerai. it stated that the office of Clerk of the
Pleas in the Exchequer was an ogee ot great pub.
lie trust, and that die defendant, 'Walter O'Grady,
had usurped that office without warrant or au-
thority, &c.
The, defendant's plea in substance stated, that

the office was an micient public office relating to
the business of the Conn of ErschcqUar ; by
letters•patent the .flight Hon. Standish O`Grod‘r
was aptiointed..Ghief Baton of said Court, With all
and singular the powers and authorities belonging
to it ; and by virtue of said appointment, and by
the usage and course of said Court. he (the Chief
Baron) had a right to the nomination and ap-
pointment of any proper. person to till the office
of. Clerk of the Fleas, It further stated the VR-
vaney that bad occurred, and the grant of the at:.
lice by the said Standish O'Grady to the said Wak.,
ter O'Grady, and that the deed was duly enrolled.
It also set out, that the said Walter O'Grady bud
produced'the. deed containing his appointment to.
the Barons of the Court of Exchequer, and Was
thereupon admitted to said office ; that he took
the oaths, and has since exercised the ditties. of
clerk of the Pleas ; and he traversed the fact
stated in the information of having tisurped the
office, &e.

- .
To this plea a replication was filed on the part
of the Crown, which stated, that from the time
whereof the memory of tnan rnnneth not to dip
contrary, his Majesty, in right of his Crown, had
the sole and undivided right of appointment to
this Otfite, Btc. There were other averments in

he repheatiou, denying that the Chief Baron, by
he custom and usage tit the Court, was vested

with the right of apPointineut to the Office. To
these were added a rejoinder and a surrejoiuder
and‘the issue to be tried was, whether he, the
said Walter O'Grady, had usurped the three, o ree, no
being the Appointee on tile Crown, or was legally'
entitled to exercise it by virtue of the right he de-
rived front the Chief Baron, and the rest of the'
Barons of the Court of it 'lobe/pier.

The ArrifaNtri-GONKHAL stated at comi'ider-i
able length the ease on the part of tl?e Crown.
Mr. 'famous() then read the evidence given to
sustain the information. It consisted of certain
records, by which it appeared that the Crown, by its
letters-patent, had exercised the right of sppoio.
ment to t he °dice of Clet k of the Pleas of the Coot t

at Exchequer from the 41st year of the reign or his
present Majesty, in the administration of the
Earl of Hardwieke, in this country, up to the ith
year of the reign of Edward 111. over France, nod
the 9.0111 of his reign ii England ; or, in othve
words, from the year I'Bol, up to the year 1346,

OBSERVATIONS ON TOE► HOLY ALLIANCE.

Some superficial observers have expressed sur-
prise that the Emperars of Russia anti Austria, and
the King of Prussia, vnlered into a convention,
the 26th of Sept. 1815, " to act conformably to
the wirtls of the Holy Scripture, which com-
mands ell men to consider each other as brethern,
land in which -they recommend to their people,
with the most tender solicitude, to strengthen
'themselves more and more in the principles and
exercise of the duties which the divine Saviour
taught to mankind ;" but the object and
policy of it most be obvious to those who nre ac-
quainted with the senguisrary and intolerant
canons of the Romish Church, which are truly
described in our statutes, as False, impious, damn-
able, and herctieal, or with the minuet:aide Cot...
laniiiies which they produced in most parts of
I.lnropo, by promoting treasonable couvirecies,
111110rirreS) and rebellions. I shall
lay before the reader a specimen of these canons,
and a sketch of the Runtish hierarchy, by which
they have been enforced :

solving their subjects from their oaths ot elle-
giaocc. By the 3tl canon of the 4th .Lateran
Council it is &Creel!, the. they who under the
badge of the Cross will set about the extirpation
of heretics shall enjoy, a full remission of their
sins—Concil Bina, vol. li. p. 645.
By the sante, and by the general Council of
Constance, whoever apprehends heretics (which
all persons kivt: liberty to do), are empowered to
take front them all their goods, and tree liberty
to enjoy them. Pope Urban decreed, that no
one i, to be deemed a murderer, who, burning
with zeal for the interest of time Mother Church,
shall kill excommuniested persons—Deerct, 2d
pars cans, :33, quasi 8. It was ordained by the
.24111 chapter of the 3d Lateran Council, " that
all those who are any way bound to heretics are
absolved front all fidelity and obedience due to
them —Concil Binii, vol. i I, p. 608. Pope Gre-
gory IX. .iltcrceil thus, in the 13th. century.

nion of heretics, that they arc set:free from every

in fire year 1643, by the Treaty Of Mstplia-'
lit. The contracting patties mutually bound
each other by a solemn oath to the observance of
it ; but the Pope published, a flaming Bull, in
which he declared that the Roman Catholic
Princes ‘WeVe not bound by the oath, as it was
made with heretics. This iniquitous Bull was ex-
posed by Ilorndak, ass emittent German Disine,io
at book entitled, " Examen Billie Papalis, qua

ui*," Thus some at the Emperors were hurled
from their throne: by their own subjects, whom
the Pope raised io .rebellion against them; and
others, through tear of sharing the sante fate,
were compelled to butcher them as heretics, or to
embark in destructive warfare, at the head of the
Crusades, against neighbouring Princes. The
present Pope has had the presumption to reprove
the Emperor of Austria, for having tolerated Pro-
testants in his territories, and for having appointed
Bishops therein. The Electors of Brandenburg!),
the predecessors of the present King of Prussia,
suffered a most cruel persecution, and narrowly
escaped destruction, in the Nth century, in the
struggle which they made to renoostee the errors,
aunt rescue themselves from the tyranny and rapa-
city of the Holy Sec. The following event in
Poland should alarm the Emperor ot Itossia, and
conviticeltim that the.Rousish Clergy will eves be
• zealons to carry into practice the sanguinary and
intolerant caliolls of their chords. The Protes-
tants and Dissidents in Poland had been cruelty
persecuted by the Papists ; anal because Ponia-.
towsky, the last Monarch thereof, hoentled
to
protect them, he narrowly escaped stssassination.
Mr. Cox tells us, in his Travels through Russia,
Poland, and Sweden, " that the Papal Nuncio
its Poland, inspired with a furious zeal against
the Dissidents, whom he believed to be protectsil
by the King,, not. only appruead of the scheme
Ito' assassinating his Majesty, but hhessed the
weapons • of the' rouspirators,, at
,Czertachew,
previously to their setting not on the expedition."
The fears Mot indignation of the Emperor ,of
Russia should be awakeued, also, at the presump-
tion of the Pope, in restoring the Order of the
Jesoits in everyvoutory its Christendom, by virtue.
of the plenitude of his apostolical authority, at a
linty that his Majesty, alarmed at their furious
spirit Of proselytism, had ordered thetn.to be ex-.
pellet! from his territories. The King of the Ne-
therlands has recently acceded to this religious
convention, and surely no Sovereign Prittee
in
Europe can have stronger reasons for doing so,—
His illustrious ancestor, William 1. who by his
wisdom and valour laid the foundation of the sub.,
setinent greatness and glory of the Dutch Com-
monwealth, was assassinated by. two P'opish fa-
Harks, Jarsrigny and -Balthazar Gerard. The
former boldly acknowledged, that meditating
this Homier, lie had been souse time, before with
a Jesuit at TreVCS, ter whom lie confessed his de-
sign at committing it, and who kept him some
time in the College, inking the counsel and. 'ad-
vice of the Jesuits thereon.—Sitype's Ecclaiustical
Annuls of Elizabeth, vol. 3, p. 214.
Strada, 'a lestrued Jesuit, assures us in his his-
tory of the Civil ‘Vars in the Low Countries, Host
Gerard, previous to the perpetration of this assas-
sinetieu, obtained absolution from a Domitsichu
Friar. The religious butcheries its the Low Coun-
tries, during the reigns of Charles V. and Philip 11.
eXceerled those which .took place its any !tau of
Europe since the Reformation ; and it is evident
that the stinetlistary'..prineiples which produced
theft are still for., the 'leading ceelesissties
in +lenders protested against the 'excellent con-
stitution which has beets trained for their country,
merely because it, allowed , religiosts toleration •;
(5) nod the Pope has epproved of their determi-
nation. The illustrions.Prince Regent has also
acceded to this Holy "silicoses; and surely every
person must applamt his Royal Highness for hav-
ing done so, considetiog the calamities wt,ieh
Papal ambit iotrand avarice•have preduced in Great
Britain nod
In.almost- every reign from that of William I.
try the preseut, the Gevernotent has been motor a
Peet ssity of adopting rigorous measures, and
enacting strong laws, to looteet itself from Papal
eneroachtuents... ;Stich, of these laws as Welt,
enacted by Popish Parliaments, previous to the
Reformstion, are called the Statures of. Provisor
'god P tenvinire,, and the Readcr will find a list ot
than in Coke's 3d institute, h p, 126, 7. Lord
Coke tells es therein, that Quect. Mary, notwith-
stauding her furious zeal to restore the 'Papal
Power, did not venture to repeal any of those
venerable guards and muniments of our Constitn-
tioui and yet some Iltititit Statesmen, actuated
by st rash spirit of innovation, and desirous of re-
pealiiig, not only them, but those salutary test
laws, Closeted since the Reformation ; which, Sir
William Blackstone calls .the bulwark of our
ititatiotratid.says that-they are,absOlutely neces-
sary to secure our civil and religious liberties.—
On- this Ahey seem intent, though the malignant
hprinciples of Popery have been more terrific inlre-
rod, us the last 2 years, and since the repeal of
the Penal. Laws, titan at any former period : for
soon after .it :was effected, they endeavoured to
deprive our gracious Sovereign of his Crown ;
though with singular dissimulation they ackuow-
ledged with gratitude, that it was the result of
his Majesty's pareutal recommendation. There
is a more cogent reason than atiy of thesC why
his Royal Highness sltould enter into the Holy
Alliance. It is, declared bit? the general Council
of Constance, staiion 4 and 5, by that of
Basil, session 2, that the sanAtlinary cations
which I have sinter!, are infallible anti immuta-
ble ; and some of the most colitis:so modern di-
cittes make t,he same assertion. The Reverend
Doctor Milner, Bishop in partibus of CastubSla,
trils us, in pages 93 and 97, of leis Ecclesiastical
Dell-Willey, that the-Council, of Constance, Ba-
„
sil, Trent, and the 4th. Lateran, are infallible;
sntlfle says that the last, by "wily ot distinction,
is called tine ()resit Council. Doctor Troy, Titu-
lar Archbishop of Dublin, makes similar asses,.
tions of she same Councils iu p. p. 31 and 32 of
his famous Pastoral Letter, publislred in 1793, and
