In no instance have (Ley seized upon

the it prey with tnore avidity thatt on the late pro-
ce,dings of Ministers to extirtrite the seeds of

sedition, %I Lich wete planted in the hot-beds of

conspiracy throughout the kingdom. This was
their bone of co►►tention, whereon they, have
feasicd, as hounds do 00 carrion ; and having
picked the last morsel, they have thrown it, in
their hunger, at the heads of his Majesty's ser-
vants, whose patient endurance and good conduct
set them at an eternal distance.

It is a pity that any set of men, among whom
strimg sense properly al. plied is not walited,shoulti
saftt themselves to be overcome by the worst of
peSSioll, the spleen; and it still more lament-
able, Gat thcir lust fur offices and profit should
le:td than so systematically to abuse those who

tin !Leal, only because they want to share them.

Cert,iinly, if nothing be ever found fault with,
nothing u ill ever be amended ; but this precious
Opposition rind nothing in Ministers to approve.
Lvery thing they do is wrong. Their late sup-
pression of an insurrection in embryo, and bring-
ing &Unguents to judgment and execution-, was
all a plot against liberty. This dirge they have
sung in unison, and proved their music by their
discord. They have held up tiny son, Ooviss,
as one of the instruments to draw the nicked
out of their holes, and milse manifest to the

world their treasonable intentions ; but he has
shaken off the load or obligny cast Upon him by
a degradvd and mortified Opposition, and cleared
Ministers of their dirty ch.irge, that they em-
ployed hitn to entrap these latent Traitors into
crime, and then to destroy them at the block or
the gallows. Shame ; shame ! Gentlemen !
Cease peace yout.swan-like notes, which are only
listened to by the gspin!.; vulgar;

Who swallow nonsense and a lye
With eagerness and gluttony.

But it is whispered, that they should be ex-

by a MAD 14"OXITE, for which let us humbly pray
that they may soon recover from the highest of
•
all human afflictions.

tlipse MARAUDERS (Write LAW, we feel mile!, plea-

sere iu drawing'the attenti,o) of our Readers to
What passed in the House or Commons ou Fri-
day, on a subject so interesting to the regular
Practitioners, and so important to the Community
at large, in all cases of the transfer of property,
which, if committed to the management of such
Empirical Conveyancers, may produce endless
disputes, and tioaliy bring ruin on those who may
have reposed in a delusive hope, that whatever
they pussesselwas secured to them on the most
solid fautidation.

" Earl GowEa(on Friday last) presented a petition from
the A*torni,s of the County of Stafford, praying, that the
practice of iicensing Conveyancers might he restrained. The
Noble LOrd thought that the object of the petition was one
highly worthy of consideration. Many persons were in the
hal.,it of obtaining, at a small expeoce, a licence to
practice as Conveyancers, without ever having been
regularly bred to that profession, without. which they
could not naturally he supposed to possess the requisite
qualiticationi. The.conserinence was, that men who were re-
gularly qua ified, who had spent both their money arid their
time i.i acquiring that degree of knowledge necessary for the
discharge of their duties, were injured in their business b.O
the facility with which licences were obtained. The evil con •
sequences of this practice was not confined to Attornics alone.
It extended also to those by whom such conveyancers were
employed.

" Mr. Lirrt.r.zoN spolie in favour of the Petition. It was
necessary, his opinion, that some measure should he
adopted similar to that prayed for the Petitioners. The re-
spectability of the profession could riot he otherwise pre-
served. 'File evil was extending itself every day, and was
to increase, unless some law were passed to che,:li its
progress.
" rile Petition was ordered to lie upon the 'fable."

STATE PAPER.

DIET AT FRANKFORT, INB. 7.

The Baron
.D'Anstetr, the Minister Plenipo-
tentiary of Russia in the Germanic Confederation,
ltrs communicated to the Diet a most important
Note from his august Sovereign, which evinces
anew the invariable sentiments of his Imperial
Majesty for the assurance and stability of legiti-
mate order in E!,rope.

We received yesterday the Paris - Papers of
Thursday last, and this morning those of Friday.
The most important part of the contents of the
former, the paragraphs respecting the diabolical
attempt made upon the life of the Da, of WEL-
LINGTON, ive give in a seprme torm, and some
further extracts will be found in our last page.
The Papers of Friday, contai7Lnothing further
upon the snbject, no mention being made of the
discovery of the assassin. The Journal de Paris,
which had no announcement of the circumstance
on Thnrsday, gives the statement of it on Friday,
which the Moniteur published on the preceding
day, sit h the following additions:—
" In his (the Essassites) Bight he passed
near two servants of the Duke of Wellington,
who were returning to his .Grace's Hotel,
and who at the moment were between the Rae
des ChampsTElys6es and that of the Faubourg
Saint Vonore. Having heard at the instant the
cries of the sentinels and the other servants, they
also pursued the assassin, but it appears they
lost sight of him near the Church of la Made-
leine."

The following are further extracts from Friday's

Papers :

" CHAMBER OF PEERS, FRB. 12.

" The Recruittnent Projet was referred to a
special Committee'of five, consisting of the Mar-
quis Dessolles, the Marquis de Latour Maubourg,

same montb.

VIENNA, JAN. 31.—A Comier, who arrived
at Bnchare«t in the night between the I4th and
15th instant, has brought intelligence of a great
change which has unexpectedly taken place in the
Ottoman Ministry. . The Kiaja Bey (Minis-
ter of the Interior), Tscanshco Basclii '(Mar-
shal of the Empire), and the Grand Vlzier have
been &posed, the latter is succeeded, in the first
dignity of the States by Perish Pacha, ci-devant
Paella of Brousso, a man generally known for his
severity. The Selihdar Aga has also been deposed,
but without being disgraced."

New Yoik Papers to the 21st ult., Boston to
the 19th, and Philadelphia to the 18th, arrived
this morning.
The private. letters continue to state, that the
troops of. the Ijoited States had taken possession
of the Florid is ; but there are advices from Wash-
ington, so late as the 15th ult. which make no
mention whatever of Mr. BAGoT being about to
take his departure ; • the report on Saturday is,
therefore, doubtless unfounded.

The Papers contain the Correspondence re-
spectirg Amelia Island. We have only room to-
day for a • small part of it, and must deter the
rest.

" Fernandina, Amelia Island, Dec. 24, 1817.

" have the honour to lay before you the corres-
pondence held with General7Aury, the late Commander of
this place, and to inform you that the American flag was
raierl here yesterday afternoon.

" Several days will elapse before General Aury can with-
draw his followers, but 1 have taken every measu.e to ensure
tranquillity, by ordering all his black soldiers to he embarked
on hoard one of the ships lying in the Port, and by not suffer.:
ing any person to appear in the town with arms, but his offi-
cers ; and the moment their vessels are prepared to receive
the whole of them, they shall depart.-
" Most of the inhabitants of this place, at this time, are
followers of Aury, and those persons who have been drawn
here from motives of speculation.. are, I suspect, of that
profligate character generally engaged in the violation or
evasion of our Revenue Laws. I shall, therefore, consult
with Commodore Henley, and will enforce such regulations
as may be most likely to preserve order, until I receive in-
structions from the Government.

" Until this place is completely evacuated by this band of
Negroes and privateersmen, I have deemed it prudent to keep
the' whole of my force here. On their departure I shall wove
all but one company to Point Petre.

" I have the honour to be, very respectfully,
" Your most obedient Servant,
" JAMES BANKFIEAD,
" Major Ist Battalion Artillery, S.D.
commanding Detictiment U. S.

troops.
" George Graham, Esq. Acting Secretary at War."

" Fernandina, .thnelia Island, Dec. 27, 1817.

" Stg,-4 had the honour to forivard to the War Depart-
ment, on the 24th lost. a copy of the. correspondence with
General Aury, previous to the lauding of the troops under
my command; and 1 herewith send a duplicate of the same.
" Some difficulty has arisen from a want of competent au-
thority, to settle the disputed claims of the residents of
this place against the late Government and. the followers of
Aury, who do not seem disposed to comply with their en-
gagements.

" One or two vessels have arrived hers with cargoes,
which the owners are desirous to land, and it might be hu-
ploper to permit it without obtaining security for the duties
which the laws of the United States require ; and other ves-
sels loaded in this port have met with some delay in clearing
for their destination ; but the counsel of General Gaines,
who arrived here last night, will regulate my conduct, and
will, in a great measure, relieve my anxiety.
" f have been obliged to exercise my authority, as Com-
manding Officer at this place, to preserve order; •and I am
happy to say, that nothing unpleasant has occurred. I can-
not say when General Awry and his party will sail. Their
vessels are much out of order, and their arrangements to
that effect progress hut slowly. The morning after I landed,
I ordered all the black and French troops to be embarked on
board some of their vessels ; but the crews of their- priva-
teers, and many others of all nations, whom it is difficylt to
restrain from violence and excess, are still here.

" Until I am honoured with your instructions, I hope that
the course I way pursue may meet the approbation of the
President.

4, General Gaines leaves this for the western frontier of
Georgia the day after to-morrow.

• I hare the honour to he, with high respect, your most
obedient servant,

We areeon fidently assured, on authority on which
we rely, that the, rumours of prevailing differences
and intended changes in Administration, are with-
out foundation. Such rumours are usually circulat-
ed on the eve of an expected GENERAL ELECTION
by Opposition Members, and are then actively
diffused, in order to operate upon the hopes or
fears of their Constituents, and we doubt not t hat
to this cause may the reports in (pies' ion be attri-
buted. Indeed, if the CATHOLIC QUESTION should
hereafter be introduced in the CABINET,We should
tbeu be somewhat alarmed, If ae did not rely on

1

the firmness of a considerable number of ill
Members, who wilt be su of
ppm tet
ere:the People at large. We therefore give as little
dit to other rumours, which state that the 3.larq°l;
Of %VELLESLEY, the Marquis of Buct(lNGnAg,3ll
others of their friends, are likely to become gent'
hers of the Administration, and that Lord LIVER'
POOL and Mr. PITT'S other friends are about to
tire. Should this report, however, unfurrunatell
prove true, the Papists would t heii have reason f°
anticipate theiconsummation 0f their wishesl 13°

be for these rumours, we are sorry to
