circulation, no lives were lost amidst these dis

orderly. proceedings. Some of the Chief Agita

ors have been apprehended, and conveyed to

conduct of the Magistrates, whose wise arrange-

highest praise, and must excite the gratitude of

The intelligence from the Spanish Main corro-
borates the preceding accounts of the complete
success of the Royalist Cause throughout the
Northern parts of that vast Continent, and ob-
serving how devoid of truth the Insurgent stories
from this the most important quarter have been,
we are led to pay little attention to their asser-
tions from other provinces where they and their
American Partizans. pretend to, be successful.
There are no men, and there never was a Party,
so well acquainted with the value of the Press as
those men and that Party now by common con-
sent, or moral limits-standing even without inter-
course
(as M. DE CHATEAUBRIA ND Sc, tr.* describes
them), arrayed against legitimate Governments
in every part of tl*9lohe. There is is Goneepta-
neotis spirit at Jacobinisn► alike traceable in the
hiblie Meetings wherevi;iiir England is afflicted,
in the insurrection of South America, in the matk-
ed proceedings of still revolutionary France, in the
workings of German liber►tlism, and the expa-
triated machinations of Spanish patriotism. And
all. these, in all their various aspects and labours,
are Int idtious in ,ntonying the same engine—that
engine, the Press, so potent in perverting the

tug and establ6hing the false, till reason is Ins

in the conflict ; and that is made doubtful to the
whole world which the Conspirators do not desire
should be believed, and that is received as fact
which it answers their purposes should be cre-
dited.

It is on the other hand lamentable to find how
little use is made of the same instrument in the
better came. So neglected is it, generally speak-

_ .
ing, that we almost esier :find the sick of truth it-
self labouriog on hypotheses, instead of being
' empowered to liestroy the audacious and wicked
falsehood at 'once with prompt and broad re-
futation, It seems- as if it escaped the penetra-
tion at 'those whom it most concerns to see the
matter clearly, that what is so powerful it: (Us
seminatiug error might, as it ought, be made
still more efficacious in propagating the light of
truth. The state of our own Country . and the
unsettled appearance of many foreign nations
at this titne,, when universal peace should, 4C-,
cording ro rarionnl calculation, be the source
of sound principles, diffused intelligence, con-
cord, and happinet,s, is but ton painful a com-
mentary upon what we have said. Poison is flow-
/ Trig' from that tree which, with proper culture,
would produce balm ; and chiefly through the
instrnmentalk.y of the press (a blessing wiled
into a curse) mankind are agitated, Misled, and
estitiritsted, till the very foundations of social
(Order are shaken, and gond men, naturally the
lovers of freedom;are almost inclined to wish for
despotism to save them from the fiercer horrors,
-which tinchecked.anarchy and unopposed faction
seem to be preparing.
Such appalling considerations may, we trust,
wake from their day-dream all those whose su-
pineness leaves the barrier to be run down end
the current to augment in portentous force, till it
may be too late to stem its dreatiftil title.

When we first noticed the report from Ireland
of the stoppage of tile Distillation from drain in
that cottony, we assured the Public, on good

" Just as we were preparing for Press, we
received intelligence, upon the .correctness of
which, we feel,"we can reli, that the suspension
which had been laid upon the Distillation of Spi.
tits from Corn, has been taken off, and that the
Distillers will• be pernfitted to 'work as hereto-

'are." .

We have great pleasure in referting to our last
page for various communications from Ireland
and Scotland, respecting the highly improved 'and
favurable state of the Harvest, in these Countried.

In our latt page he found a sensible
and well-written Essay on the subject of the
Demagogue Meetings so prevalent at this era. It

cannot be too widely diffused, nor receive too
much of the consideration of all classes of
the community ; but especially of the inferior
orders, to whom it is more particularly addressed.
The truths it tells in, homely languare are incon-
trovertible, and the arguments it employs, if they
have their just weight, must tend greatly to put

the multitude on their guard against the vile arts
of those infamous men who are endeavouring to
make them their instruments in destroying all
that is valuable to Britain—all that is great in
her character and situation—ail that constitutes
her internal weal and her external glory', to raise
indeed these ruffians to power, and plunge in mi-
sery the misguided tools with whose aid they ac-
complish their purpose..
