THE MORNING JOURNAL.
In consequence of the harsh and oppressive Mea-
-ures that have been resorted to with a view to effect the
ruin of Mr. Alexander (now a Prisoner within the walls
(if Newgate,) and to destroy " The Morning Journal"
Newspaper, of which he is the Editor and principal Pro-
prietor, it has been resolved by several distinguished
Friends of the liberty of the Press to recommend that a
Public Subscription be entered into forthwith, in order
that those who love freedom, and desire to preserve un-
impaired the Constitution of Great Britain, may be
enabled to testify their sense of the recent Measures,
under the effects of which he is suffering.
It is obvious that the nature and object of these Mea-
sures have been to destroy the Freedom of the Press—
to prevent the possibility of Free Dismission in a free
Country—and to give to the Government of the day a
power most prejudicial to the liberty of the subject, and
destructive of the very spirit upon which our noble and
glorious Constitution is founded.

That such is the fact is not only felt and believed in all
parts of the Kingdom, but has been asserted by indivi-
duals of all parties in the Commons' House of Parlia-
r►ient, as well as by the various Public Journalists of the
Metropolis, of the Provinces, of Ireland, and of Scotland,
with scarcely an exception.
It is, therefore, now proposed that a Subscription be
immediately raised—the objects of which shall be to pay'
the Fines imposed by the Court of King's Bench, to de-
fray the heavy Expenses consequent on the recent Pro-
locutions, and to negative the attempts to ruin " The
Morning Journal," by upholding that Paper, and by
supplying it with the means of being conducted with
energy, ability, and effect.
Several of the Public Journals having already, in a
spirited and generous manner, directed the attention of
their readers to the propriety of the course now adopted,
their zealous and warm co-operation is earnestly requested
—that they will give force and effect to the statement
now put forth—and that they will receive and transmit
such Subscriptions as may be forwarded to them.
Subscriptions will be received at Holmes's Hotel, Par.
'lament-street, Westminster ; at Garraway's Coffee-
house, Cornhill ; or at the Office of " The Morning
Journal," where a Committee sit daily from Twelve to
Four ;—to whom Communications are requested to be
addressed.
