ANSWER TO TJIE A DDRESS FIiOM TILE WARD OF

C 1 Pt'L EG E-W
I RID deePTY obliged to the Inhabitants and Freeman of the
Watd of Cripplegate.within for an Address so loyal and' so
allectionate towards myself, anti at. the sand! time 'breathing
the. purest sentiments of constitutional 'Welty.
The light of liberty` was tong -preserved in the ara•of this
•Ilfitish Constitution, when it Was extinguished, or almost ex-
tinct, in every ,other part of the world. it is from this light
that the people of other countries have originally derived is
laree part of their present political illtinsination Here the
spirit of liberty:was first kindlrd ; and hence its sacred Geist
aparted to the bosoms of the. wise, the ,gt Herons, cella
de brave, in other branches of the great European family.
But, while other 'stations have been indebted to us for a por-
tion of this heavenly the, we ,have ourselves suffered the
flame to become languid and weak in that temple of Consti-
tutional freedom which it once so iplenditity
It would altord me the •sweetest satisfaction to be in any
degree inst,rumental in 1'0;1'1(11h1g the. dying tire of within:it
liberty, and in rendering the British Constit tition what it once
was—the glory of the world.
In the conflict which b ant Waging with my ruit'ersaries in
defence of my violated rights, I. am defending the rights of
every Etiglishminr. If I sin successful in this conflict, the
victory will redointd less to My own personal satisfaction than
to that which I derive front the reflection that the rights of
individuals and the general liberties of-the nation will hence-
forth be secured against the delminvering views of that Selfish
faction, which is equally an enemy to every improvement in.-
the political condition of Man in this coiintiy, and in every
part of the World.
Perhaps I might to triumph in the indlemnies I have expe-
rienced, and to rejoice in the. wrongs I have suffered. as
those wrongs and indignities have been the sin ant which Pro-
vidence has employed for exciting such a spirit in the nation
as must tend to seem, the rights of the people, and to enlarge
the practical benefits of the Constitution.
ANSWI;II. TO THE SPITALFIELDS ADDP.F.ss.
I have Itecti much gratified by MI Ambtriss So loyal and so
affectionate fount the Churchwardens, Overseers, and other
Inhabitants of the Parish 'of 'Cloixtchurch, -Middlesex, cutn.;
meetly called . •
• There is no pet lout in the liistoty of this country,' in which
the feelings of the people have been 'so 'universally or so
powerfully excited as its the present. A ease of indiyiduat
oppression has int erestedetery heart.. Every-member of the
community who is not enlisted in the service of the selfish
faction, has made my wrongs and sufferings his own sus-
ferings :And wrongs.
The sympathy which my afflictions have excited has pro-
thiet.d a degtee of Close and cordial union in the senlitnents
of the nation, winds augur, the most glorients results. Ustiott

will to have it obeyed.
The great fault in the Statesmen .of 'modern times, ani
particularly of our own country, has been, that they have
not kept pace with the increased knowledge and ithprored
sentiments of the age: -While the 'solids...has been progres-
sive, they have been stationary, or even-retrograde. While the
nation has I)6in making mighty strides it) political science.
