COMMON NALL.

Yesterday there was a numerous attendance at the
Common Hall, convened for the purpose of consider-
ing the propriety of petitioning against the renewal
of the Property Tax.
The LORD MAYOR came forward, and stated the
object tor which they were convened, pursuant to a
requisition which had been sent to him, and which
would be read to them. He begged that they would
recollect, that in the discussion of this question, there

was a duty imposed upon him of reserving order
and regularity. He hoped that every person who
should come forward to deliver his sentiments would
be heard fairly and distinctly, in all the oMervations
lie had to offer. On the indulgedee and support of
the Livery he relied, to enable him to preserve upon
this occasion, as upon every occasion he was deter-
mined to preserve, the dignity of the situation of their
Chief Magistrate.
Mr. WAITHMAN then came forward. In calling
their attention to the business of this day, he thought
that it was hardly necessary to remind them, that in
the year 1798 (the period when this tax was first im-
posed), the Livery of London had come forward with
very strong resolutions against it. On many other
occasions they had presented petitions against the In-
come Tax, between which and the tax that was now
called the Property Tax, he could see no difference.
He saw no cause now for pursuing any other course
than that which he had taken, a few days are-in the
Common Council. He then forebore to state instances
of individual oppression, suffered under the operation
of this tax : if he had been disposed to state such in-
stances, he could have produced them in thousands.
He could have produced as many cases of oppression
as would have covered the floor of the Hall in which
he was then addressing them. He wished to confine
his objections to the tax, under two general heads:.
Ist, as to the principle of the tax ; and 2dly, as to the
xnode in which it was carried into execution. He
thought that it was an incontrovertible position, that
if the war with France was undertaken (as it was said
to have been) for the protection and preservation of
our property, the system of taxation for the support of
it, ought to be fair, equable, and in proportion to the
property that was to be taxed. What could be more'
unequal than that, if income was taken as a criterion
of property, the same property tax should be imposed
on an income derived from annuities or from preca-
rious sources as from landed and funded properties ?
It must be -obvious that the sort of income which was
derived from mere personal exertions, and which was
lost when those exertions could no longer be made,
was by no means of that value that an income derived
from landed property or other certain sources was. If
a man possessed of an income from land or the funds
died, there was something left for the provision of his
family; but in the case of income derived merely
from personal exertions, there was nothing left for a
family. In tact, in this case, it was only out of the in-
come made by personal exertions, that any provision
could be made for a family, and this income tax struck
directly at the only means of making this provision.
Now, it, too often happened, that when a man died,
his family was left absolutely destitute and starving f
and this was often produced by the operation of this
*eery tax. It never was originally supposed, nor could
it have been supposed, that any tax of a permanent
vetere,,would have been raised on a 'principle so un-
fair and unequal. The objections'to the tat were in.
superable ; and if it had not been represented at a time
that it was imposed, that it was only of a temporal y
nature. ‘nd intended merely to meet the difficulties
cf-the. peculiar times in, which it was raised, it was
impossible that it could ever have been sukimitted to.
When it was considered how.oppretssve this tax had
been, and how degrading it was to the feelings of Eng-
lishmen, the wonder was, how it had beery endured
14) long ? Tbis could only be accounted for by 'recol-
lecting the peculiar circumstances oT thecountry when
the tax was imposed. We were then told that it was
abiolntely necessary for all parties to untie : that, by
such union, we should soon get rid of the war ; and
that the lax, would. be levied with the. utmost mild-
ness bi torarnitsjoners appointed by the people them-
seli4s. Although all this was said at the time, yet
there were many, as well as himself, who even then
opposed the tax. If any man, however, then ven-
tured to raise his voice against the tax, he incurred
the dangerof immediately being called a jacobin, and
an enemy to his country. He, however, thanked
GOD, there were some men whom no danger could
terrify • they had; therefore, notwithstanding, freely
delivered their opinions. With respect to modifying
the tax, and it had been somewhere said, that such
an idea was in contemplation, and that instead of 10
per cent. five would be taken ; he hoped the people
would not submit Whew even that sum squeezed out
of their pockets. Any thing in the shape of modlE.
cation, if complied with, would be bad ; because It"
would establish the principle of the tax, and would
never be got rid of.. The evils attending it were
great. There were a set of Commissioners with fixed
salaries, which could not be taken from them by the
people. The machine altogether was curiously con-
structed; it might truly be called ig The Irifernal Mak
chine," for it was calculated to biirg, about tyranny,
and fix fetters on the people.— (iliolauler.)—First, as
he had observed; there were the Commissioners;
then there were a set of officers above them, called
Surveyors, who were at liberty to assess the people as
much as they pleased ; and if they did not comply
with their assessment, might take them before the
Court of Exchequer. Then there were another set of
efticers called Inspectors, and their duty was to look
ever the Assessors; these Assessors ton, in mort cases,
were become Cdllectors—(44 ..111 are Collector:!" was''
e.t.lieed in the Hall.)—If the people did net take care
eery would, by the powerful operation of this ma-
:::e, be g: ound to dust. He seould not indulge in
personalities in respect to these Commissioners, some
of whom had justly excited the indignation of the
Livery—(Applawee). It mattered not who were the
Commissioners, the machine was tyrannically con-
.:tructed, and could not be honestly carried into effect.
One great hardship of the case was, that while one
set of individuals escaped its rigour, another were
. compelled to send in large returns, while struggling
to maintain their credit ; and others, actually in a
state of insolvency, paid their quota of Incomes out of
the pockets of their creditors. Such was the state of
Ithe public Traders, that within the last 10 years, there
were no fewer than 15,000 bankrUpts, and more than
20,000 had compounded with their creditors within
the last few years. He know a man, who was in a

state of intolveney, who bad been asstaftd frbth a few
hundreds to £3OOO per annum. Many for the last
twenty years had not, though in good business, been
able to lay aside £lOO a year for the support of their
families. It was not necessary to furnish proofs of the
injustice and iniquity of such a tax—every man had
those proofs within his own breast. Mr. W. then no-
ticed the observations made in the Court of Common
Council as to the necessity of the tax for carrying on
the American war. Was it to be told to the Livery
of London, who had gone up with Petitions and Re-
monstrances upon the subject of reformation in the
public expenditure, and the abolishing of sinecure
places and pensions, that they must submit to this
Tax, when the necessity had ceased to exist ? Could
Ministers call upon the People to submit to such a
.Tax, when they had done nothing themselves to re-
here them from the pressure of sinecure pensioners
and placemen —the worst of public bur thens?—(///r-
-plauses).—lf the People suffered an unjust war, like
die present, it was allowing one abomination to fol-
low another—it was an unjust war and an unjust tax.
The Honourable Baronet (Sir W. Curtis) had said,
speaking of the Tax, and the necessity for continuing
it, that it was owing to the American war—that he
would (not in the homely expression) give the Ame-
ricans a good drubbing ; but " he would give them a
confounded flogging. If such was to be the reason,
the Tax might as well continue for two or three years
as one. He remembered to have read some biogra-
phical anecdotes of one of the best of our Aldermen,
in which it was said, that he received his education
by inoculation, and that inoculation was performed by
the athletic arm of a country Schoolmaster on his m at
fleshy part.—(Laughter).—Probably this worthy Al-
derman having suffered so, might have given the
idea to the worthy Baronet to wish to have the flog-
ging of Jonathan.—( Laughter).— He had suffered at
Walcheren—it was a pity that he had not sailed for
Lake Champlain, and there he might have suffered
too, or have confoundedly flogged Jonathan.—
(Laughier).—But, to be serious on the subject, there
was not a man, he believed, differed, in respect to
the question of the war with America, and did not
wish this country to uphold her rights, and, above
all, her maritime rights. Would they, however, wish,
just when the contest was ended on the Continent, to
go into the desarts and wilds of America, to carry on
a war of revenge ? He was persuaded they would all
declare against the continuance of a Tax for such mo•
tives.—(4olauter).—lt would be recollected, that
in waging war with America, this country was de:
prived of the very best customers which she had had,
forthe last 30 years. Mr. Waithman concluded with
reading his Resolutions, for which see the Advertisement:
Mr. FAvatr. seconded them. He considered it un:
necessary to add any thing to convince the Livery of
the evils of the Tax. He• thought that the Lord
Mayor might instruct the Officer to cry out for any
one to speak in the Hall who had any thing to say in
its favour. That would be the best criterion of its
merit.—(dmileure). —lt was honourable to the City,
that in a season of necessity they had borne the Tax
so long. If, then, it was honourable to bear it in sj
season of necessity, how irresistible must be their claim.
now, when the necessity ceased to exist, that the Tie
should cease also I He deprecated the policy of en.
tering into wars on light grounds. On the subject of
Reform, the best way would be to lay the axe tuthe
root, as the means of preventing usissot taxes, - •
Mr. Panama had heard so many unanswerable'ar-
guments from the worthy Mover, that be did not ap-
proie of the introduction Of any topics irrelevant to
the subject. As the war with America had been
introduced, it ought to be recollected that it was
forced upon us by America—( Hisser and Applause.)
He Jid not expect perfect unanimity, on the present
occasion, but it was evident that America had taken
advantage of the distress into which this country was
plunged, and doubtful 'of the contest being termi-
nated successfully, had commenced a war. To bring
the contest to a happy conclusion some sacrifices were
necessary.
Mr. HUNT (of Bristol) wished to notice a few to-
pics not treated upon. It h'd been sai.4 that it was
nut easy to point out a mode of supplying the defi-
ciency of fourteen millions (which this Tax produced)
supposing it was given up— (Ilirrer.) —He aborin.
nated the Tax as much as • any man ; there were
means of supplying the deficiency by abolishing
Places and Pensions. Mr. H. then read a short list
of twenty names of the most distinguished Members
of both Houses; among whom were the names of the
Dukes of Grafton and Richmond, Lords Grenville
and Erskine, Mr. Ponsonby, &c. ; and he calculated
that the pensions of these persons, amounting to
nearly £200,000 per annum. would, at the rate of 15s.
per week, keep 5000 famiies, of sit in the family.
He th.ught, therefore, that these Noble Si Ives of
State should be •compelled. to give up their pensions.
Dr. Johnson defined a pensioner to be a person re-
ceiving a sum without an equivalent—os A Slave of
State, bound to the will of the Master." Pope thus
illustrates it :
" In Britain's Senate he a seat obtains,
• And one more Pensioner Sc. Stephen% gains."
He condemned both Whigs and Tories for imposing
the Tax.
Mr. HARVEY conceived there could not be a more
difficult question to propound than the reconcilement
of parties. With respect to the Tax, the great eva
consisted in the Commissioners being allowed to take
evidence not upon oath, and then afterwards to sit as
Jurors upon the party summoned before them. He
deplored the tyranny which this Tax so generally
created.—The Resolutions were then severally read,
and agreed to unanimously.
Mr. WAITIMAN then presented the draft of a Pe-
tition, embracing the whole of the Resolutions. He
disapproved of the introduction of topics of disunion,
and should not meddle with either Whig or Tory
-parties. The opportunity for a discussion of that
ki,ud was ill chosen in his opinion. He agreed that
there was plenty of ways of supplying the deficiency
(if the Tax was given up) by reform and retrench.
Anent. To that subject he had often called the atten.-
Itien of the Livery. The only object in introducing it
DOW seemed foe the purpose of bringing the heads , f
all parties into contempt. The Livery of London
had a great battle to fight, and their object must
e
to conciliate all parties, and obtain their support in
abolishing this odious Tax. In respect to dieoproton
of Mr. Fox on the subject, those opinions hadbeen
misrepresented and misunderstood,
as might be seen
by reference to his speeches. This he
ri Waith-
man) knew, that it was the opinion of Mr.
Fox (and
he had it from an intimate friend of that great man)

en being told that the people did not like the Income
Tat, =he said—c. lam glad of it, for now the people
Will Mon be tired of the War."
The Petition was then read by the proper 01
and agreed to unanimously.

Mr: Wastuatak then proposed a Resolution for
instructit* the City Representatives to support the
Petition ui Parliament.
Sir-Wis.•Ctotais came forward, amidst great ap-
plause.. He expressed his readiness to attend to the
instructions of his Constituents on most subjects. In
respect to the Tax, which was one of necessity, the
country, by subscribing to it, had been enabled to
come out of the war with honour and safety. He
was convinced that the Livery were, like himself,
disposed to act rightly and justly—that they were, in
short, like himself too, honourable and just men—
(loud shouts) —that is, they were disposed to pay their
just debts. Unless the debts of the nation were paid
it was impossible this Tax, which produced so large
a sum, could be abolished.—(Murmur: and hims.)—
'lf the necessity of it was shewn, they were bound to
support it, at least
.until the accounts were adjusted.
In Parliament he should act according to the dictates
of his conscience; and he wished them to recollect,
" That those who rule over freemen must themselves
be free."
Sir J. SHAW was disposed to attend to the instruc-
tions of his Constituents. He had read the Petition,
and had great pleasure in giving it his support.—
(Amiatme.—With respect to the Tax, there was no-
thing so clear as that it was to cease with the war.
He was not quite sure that Ministers meant to renew
it. But it they did, before he gave them support,
they must lay strong grounds for the renewal. He
always considered it as a Tax tolerated only from
extreme necessity. Conceiving that its renewal must
be called for only on strong grounds, he should go
to Parliament, and use that discretion which became
ne duty of a free Representative and an honest man,
! uninfluenced by those in power.—(Afildators.)
Mr. Alderman ATICINS considered it his duty,
placed, in the high situation in which he stood, to state
his view of the subject. Taxation, he obseserved, had
risen to a height beyond what it was conceived it
could obtain. For more. than twenty years this Tax
had been borne ; it had crept, as it were, into the
doors of the poorest person, and had been laid almost
upon the food' which he ate. It was improper on that
accoult. Still dire necessity had compelled Govern-
ment to adopt it. He had, when sitting in Pailia.
ment for another place, objected to it, because he
could not discriminate between income and property.
'He thought that property ought to be taxed, and not
the poor loan who had none—(ilmlauser.) He could,
however, give no pledge, and must go unshackled to
Parliament—(Murerurri Would the. Livery have
him not vote for the Property Tax, and: thereby
crouch at the feet of America—America, who, when
she thought this country at her last ebb, declared war
against her ?—(Applause:.) He was disposed to-give
a pledge not to support the Tax, if it affected incomes
derivable from trade and annuities—he would not sup-
port a Tax on industry. He would endeavour to
discriminate ; bet, at the same time, he must support
his country 'against its enemy—(Applauser.)
Mr. WarrumAN,then said that their other Repre-
sentative, Mr. Alderman Combe, could not attend
froth indisposition, but they all knew how he would
4ote--(ANtlaure.) As to the declaration of the three
irorthy Members who had just spoken, he should for-
bear to comment, for one reason—because he could
hot understand from any thing which they had
ut-
teted what they meant to do— (Altltlatuer.) All that
he could learn was this—that let them get into the
House of Commons, and then they would follow their
own inclinations.
The Resolution was then agreed to.
On the motion of Mr. COLLINGE, thanks were voted
to the Mover and Seconder, who expressed their ac-
knowledgments of the honour in suitable term's.—
Thanks were then voted to the Lord Mayor for his
impartiality iq the Chair this day.
The proceedings were then ordered to be published
in all the Papers, and the Meeting was dissolved.

ADWRiILTT SESSIONS.

BAR3AROUS MURDER AND MUTINY.

Four natives of Java, called Malays, of the names
of Panjang, Sootoo, Moodie, and Callen, were yester-
day indicted for a murder on the high seas, commit-
ted on the body of Antonio de Costa, on board the
Governor Raffief, on the 9.11 of November, ISIS,
off the Cape of Good Hope. They were also in-
dicted for the murder of Joseph Rater Madiena.
Mr. GURNEY opened the case on the part of the
prosecution. He began by observing, that this was
the most melancholy transaction he ever had to
state to a Jury. The ship Governor Raffles was an
East India country ship ; she sailed from Batavia in
September, ISIS, under the command of Captain
King, with a crew composed mostly of Malays, whb
ad voluntarily consented to act as sailors, and were
perfectly satisfied with the agreement. When the ship
came within a short distance of the island of Mada-
gascar, the Malays, who were natives of the island
of Java, came upon deck in the night, while the Cap-
tain was asleep in his cabin ; they attacked the man
who was steering her with knives, and threw him over-
board, and afterwards struck at the Captain and
wounded him as soon as he came upon deck. After
stating all the circumstances of the case, he said this
horrid business originated in a conspiracy and mutiny,
into which the barbarous natives of these countries
were too frequently tempted to engage. Mr. Gurney
then called his witnesses.

, Robert King said, be was Master and Commander
of the ship Governor Raines ; he took the command
of her at Batavia in September 1813. Her cargo
consisted ot rice, coffee, atc. The crew consisted at
first chiefly of Malays. He sailed on the 30th ot Sep.
Itember. Before he sailed he changed some of the Ma-
lays for Lascars. There were nineteen Malays when
he sailed; among them were the four prisoners.
There were 21 Lascars ; he and his brother, who
was a boy, was the only English on board. There
was a Dutchman, a Swede, a Batavian boy, a French-
man, who was the mate, a Spaniard, named Ma-
deira, who was the gunner, and De Costa, another
Spaniard. Before he sailed, the Malays were on
shore every day, and they had notice of his intention
to sail. Cceden was a boatswain for the Malays, and
received 20 dollars from the witness for himself and
countrymen : and they all appeared satisfied. They
had beet% hired by the Captain who commanded the

. • .
Airbafoen hm, They all knew of the time thii the
ship intended to 'CH& England. After he sailed
_of he Malays applied for higher pay, as they
could steer ; the witness told them they shoulahllTC
it. Soon after they applied for warm clothing when
wet weather came on, and this was granted. In all
respects they were well treated, and had no reason to
be dissatisfied with their condition. On the Sth of

1 _
~

November witness was ill ; they were then sailing to
the westwatd, before the wind, wish all the sails set,
and about 200 miles of Madagascar. That night he
heard a noise on deck, he jumped out of his cot, and
was running up the companion stairs. He had his
shirt and trowsers on ; when his head was just on deck
he perceived the Malays beating some onc: he was
immediately struck with a cook's cleaver ;he got two .
blows, and fell senseless down the ladder. He could
not see who struck him. When he came to himself

he was sitting near the cabin door, and found his
servant Pansho, a Lascar, binding his head up; the
Chief Mate was lying senseless by him. In the course
of the night the carpenter and some others, Lascars,
forced their way to his cabin through the bulk-head.
They had some muskets and pistols. They immedi-
ately loaded those weapons and armed themsaves ;
the companion above the stairs, as well as all the
hatches, had been fasttrd by the mutineers. At
day-break they endea to break open the hatches
but they could not fire, because. the Malays threw
water on them, and put planks on the hatches ; they
then tried the hatches, but could not break them ; at
last the Carpenter cut the compaiiiiin, and %vanes%
saw the Javanese throwing the spars over board, while
some of them were guarchng the companion. When
the hole was made in the companion, they tired at the
Malays, and at last brolte,,put about ten in the mor
ing. On coming out witTtbeir fire-arms, they drove
the Malays below, and"Cceden and Panjaii:i, not
being able to get dowailii fore.scuf tee, surrendered.
'They all appeared to be armed in some way or c Cher.
The rest of the Malays were not subdued that day ;
the party were obliged to Keep watch over them.
Next day (the 10th) five of his party volunteered to
go down and attack-Aids ; there was a great conflict ;
' muskets were fired; talitYpfllre Malays were killed,
and one of his party wounded ; Moodie and Sootoo
were brought upon deck. There were only four.
fective irons on deck, and the lour prisoners at the
bar were .:put in them. It was impossible to guard
and take care of all the prisoners that were taken,
the Lascars wanted to have the other Malays shot ;
they were, however, put into a long-boat and sent
adrift. The deck was covered with blood. He missed

seven out of his own party, and one was found dead)
five of those were Lascars, the other two, Madeioa

and De Costa, were Christians. The witness then

prosecuted his voyage; had been ill ever siuce ; he
had not found the bodies of any of the Malays, those
that were killed having been thrown overboard, and
the rest sent adrift.
The next witness was Morita Kranur, a native of

Batavia. He corroborated every thing stated by the
Captain ' • he was a sea-tunny, or quarter-master on
board. He was on the deck, and he saw the Malays
rushing up, and attacking the person at the helm.
This was Antonio de Costa, who cried out, N Oh,
Lord I Oh,. Lord !" and he was thrown overboard.
Four or five of the Malays were at the same time at-
tacking Madeina on another part of the deck ; he was
himself violently attacked, and received IS wounds
altogether; he endeavoured to escape do o n the
hatchway, but was prevented; he then ran to the
'companion just as the Captain was putting his head
up; and witness saw Moodie give the Captain a blow
on the bead, when he feU down ; witness jumped
down after him, Moodie struck him on the shoulder
as he fell down.
A Lasear next gave his evidence thmngh an inter-
preter. He said he was the serang or boatswaiii on
board the ship; when the claim broke out he was be.
low, but immediately came on deck, and saw two
Malays standing over the hatches, with weapons in
their hands. Panjang and Sootoo belonged to his
watch; and they ought to have been below, as their
watch had been out about two hours, but they were
on the deck with the others. Witness being ft ighten-
ed, soon went under deck, but in the morning he
was induced to go oa deck, on a promise of safety
being made to him. They took him to the compass,
and as he understood navigation, asked him whitq
way the ship was going? He asked the Malays to
what place they meant to go ? They answered,
that they would go to Acbeen or Pedang, where
there was a Java Rajah, who would purchase all
their goods, meaning the goods in the ship. Cteden
was steering the ship; he had a large knife and an
augur in his haad. Panjang was sitting forwards
by the long-boat; Moodie was on the larboard side
by the long-boat ; Sootoo was on the starboard side
of the capstan, and was armed with a crow-bar.--
All the Malays were on deck, and they were all arm-
ed except Panjang, who was sitting on the bit, with
one foot on the tore hatch; all the hatches were
guarded by the Malays, and they all appeared to be
acting together, and the four prisoners were acting
with the rest. Some shots were fired at them, in con-
sequence of which they sent a man down to scuttle
the ship; witness asked them the reason for doing so?
they said they meant to sink the ship and take the
long-boat; and Moodie began to clear the long-boat
tor that purpose.
The whole evidence was then read over to the in-
terpreter of the Javanese language, and repeated in
that language to the prisoners.
The prisoners when called oa for their defence
said, generally, that they had not committed the
murder, and that the persons who were guilty had
been either killed or sent out of the ship.
Mr. Baron GRAHAM, in charging the Jury, wished
to impress on them this circumstance, that the pri-
soners were not in any respect in the condition of per-
sons trepanned, and compelled to serve on board A
ship. They had voluntarily agreed to serve, received
wages, and appeared perfectly satisfied with their con-
dition on board this ship. Then with respect to the
persons who actually committed the murder, it was
'sufficient to bring the crime borne to the prisoners, if
it appeared that they were acting with the others in
the mutiny, and in the endeavour to seize the ship.
The Jury withou hesitation found them all Guilty.
The Judge of Mil Admiraly, Sir Wm. SCOTT, then
addressed the prisoners, and dwelt on the enormity of
mutineers and piraticalpractices, for the purpose, he
said, of giving admonition to others, and then sen-
tenced the prisoners to be executed on Thursday next,
and their b9dies to be anatomised!

MR. CURRAN'S LEITER.

" Loromat, Aucurso SI, 1814.
" I write again, because I judge from myself, at.d how kindly
I felt your last, that you would like to hear from me. Perhaps
the nut being able to abstain Irons wilting to the ablest, it the

By-the-bye.it does some credit is the character of humanity,
that we sometimes exchange the sufferings ot egotism fur a nobler
sympathy, and lenient over others, instead of keeping all our tears
for ourselves. What exquisite nectar most they be to those Over
whom the; are shed? Nor perhaps shoold the assurance that they
do not suffer alone be always withheld, beeaoseit may net be al.
ways true, because, for the purpose of tonsolation, it is enough,
it it be believed, whether true of not. If the paymein is complete,
is it worth while to enquire whether the cola be counterfeit or
not t But, with respect to our poorezilese the sympathy breams
sincere as well as ardent. I had hopes thatEngbed might lot then

number is almost too small to do credit to the nutty that casts&
look upon them—hut they are destined to give their last recoilless
don of the green' fields they are never to behold on a foreign

a distant grave. Yet, is not even that exile better than the des-
tiny an outlaw at home ? Yet, to that are we now reduced.
You catwot believe the transition from sympathy, to detestation,
which eve have excited in England—an hatred of our barharism:
a contempt of our strength, which has acted only upon and
against ourselves. 1 see only one, way of,gettiug out. It Irniend

for the very reason why they shossiel have left him where he was
--namely, because he was deserted by the English Catholics.
In their persecution of Lalor aud Caulfield, they openly attacked
whatever right of election remained. They attacked their most
tried friends in Parliament—Canning not au boom man—Giat-
tau a fool—Castlesingh a knave--Plunket a deserter. They
abused the English Catholics, under whose long sad tried cha-
racter of property and allegiance our cause might have found shel-

that does not go to the root of the evil, our want ot capital, will
ever relieve us ; and nothing, but the slow toleration of a foster-
ing Legislature, removing cruel and impuhtic restnitute, can have
the least tendency to our benefit. But, provided eve could act up
the throats of the Liberty, we were perfectly regardless of their
interest. Our lower orders, COD help then ! How easily. can
every Quack deceive anal; Their misery might be softeued, by

—these sicrifices, perhaps" can scarcely be hoped from Priests
and Landlords;, our,Clergy have been up in arms against any
relict, or even temporary euceuragement, to the reelaimer, how-
ever, to their own ultimate benefit. Our Peasantry must, there-

—But what sueasore did oar Reformers propose with any such
design ? Certainly nom. •Don't mistake me—l do not mean
that any thing, save the Petition, should have been mentioned
arthat Board,-but I mean that their silence on the real causes
and remedies:of eur sufferings thews them grossly ignorant or
regardieks of them. Su far as they allotted at all to these sub-
jects, the tendency was merely, to inflame—to make our lower
drift•rs tutbulent and turimix, and :so far expose them as unfit as
undescr% it:g of mild or rational iteutment ; lint these notables
thought they were raising theins/hes by the apery of legislation,
by appealing to the mob on points et law and cunstittit on. They
replied in their meetings to the speeches in Parliament ; and,
finally, (and I ace no apology that can he made fur it,) they em-
broil the country still more by forcing upon it points exclusively
religious, and .with whith the Laity should nut have presumed
to meddle. First, they complain that the great mass of the
people (and that most truly) are kept in a degree of ignorance
unknown in any other region of the earth. And next, they call
upon these honorary theologians, upon this very barbarized mass
to decide upon the Veto as a most profound point of clerical dif-

ficulty.
" With rospect to the Clergy themselves, a most respectable
order, this has been peculiarly unfeeling—for reasons in which,.
I remember, you agreed. It has involved them in cruel and un-
just suspicion on all sides, lessening their credit with the high,assl
their authority with the humble. And see the fruits of all this!
no Member of either [louse would venture to stir our question,
and, instead of an extension of civil rights, we get the insur-
rection Act passed, without oppositiOn, and, enabling Govern-
ment, by a single dash of the pen, to put Ireland in a state such
as the world never saw. An our affectation was for our beloved
Prelates and our dear Poor Orders ; and upon these, peculiarly,
have we ;tilled down these lorrors. A man of property may
roll home drunk- in hie chariot, and laugh at the curfew ; but
what shelter has the peer man to 'save him from such a pitiless
storm. But the gangrene sinks still deeper--the spirit of the
Government springs directly front that of the law. Now, this
last act can be justihed on no human ground, except that the na-
tion is peopled by monsters that must be ruled like beasts. See
here the deplorable stateof our poorer people. Goat help them!
they are always ultimately the sufferers--they are the cards with
which gambling adventurers play; they never fail to be soiled
during the game, and after it to be flung into the fire. No mat-
ter what abuse may be committed in the exercise of Such a.i Act.
What appeal can we make ? what a number of men have we
among us, who will look to fortune and power by shaipening its
edge ?—to what a frightful union between the Judicial and Exe-
cutive must it lead i au union peculiarly formidable in a Pro.,
viuce, and, at a time when sayings of our Courts, whether truly'
or falsely, are circulated, statine that our people are so ferociated
that civil justice will no longer do? No doubt the public mind
has beeu not a little disturbed. And what else could be expected
Irons the perpetual diens to irritate ? But I should never hare
done if I thought to have exhausted this killing subject. I shall'
fur the present only gild a weal. England must ku6w that war,
and leery soon, is possible; that her darling France, by nature
her enemy, and the Peninsula, and the Continent toe, may join
with America in deltuding their maritime rights against her ma-
ritime claims. It would be no new alliauce. If she has common
sense, she must. see that justice and prudence would recommend
to her to make the strait waistcoat the common dress of Ireland
for ever. But such an hope would surely be much ripened, If
we made her understand that what has been done and said of
late is not to be attributed to the honest or thinking class of our
people—that we have not the remotest idea of severing the con-
nexion or attacking her religion. Of this, perhaps, more hereafter. 1
" I continue to reel an increasing dislike of every thing here.
I probably shan't remain long. 1 have left some things in Ire-
land uuarr.inged that I must settle, however I may dispose of my-.
self after. England can't arrest me tong. I have never found
any good in watering-places. My malady, a constitutiongl de-
jection, accumulated by a life of no little disaster, can hope for
.no remedy in water or lu wine. In general, the benefit of those
.places is attributed to the attendant temperance; but a person
little given to excess any where has not much to add that way ;
and as to evening parties, in a crowd of strangers, I never liked
'Wiens, nor was fit for them ; I have therefore given my cooties,
sire the 'Theatres ; Ipreferthem to English, notwithstanding the
difficulty of a foreign language. I prefer the stile of their stage
to ours. Ours always appeared to me fiat and dull, with never
more than one or two of tolerable merit. On the contrary, here
you never find attar very bad. A comic nation is perpetually
sending young aspirants to Paris, where, of course, there can be
DO dearta. In England you must put up with what you can get.
No doubt, it Is hard to hied any exact principles of acting. It is,
in a great degree arbitrary and accidental. bull uature will ID-
sea certain boundaries. in France there may be bombast and
1 tinsel; and the eternal monotony of amour in their plays is liable
1 to objectifies lying much deeper than the mere criticism of the
stage; it goes vitally to the morals and manner. of the people; it
goes to make the woman a bad sort of man, and the man a bad
sort of woman; it goes to take away the solid basis of every vir-
tue of either sex ;it leaves the men little to wish—to the women
little to bestow. It annihilates the fine spirit of attachment.—
What can he feel for confidence given en a principle of good
breeding ? To faecinate, there must be no doubt of its being ex-
clusive.
"When I am -writing-my bad verses, I would spurn the Muse
if I suspeeted her of whispering the sense idea' to twenty other
poetasters. In the sante principle, if you have only a sixty-fourth
of a ticket in the lottery of regard, the prize is, in fact, a blank.
How can you join in triumph with sixty-three other fortunate'
adventurers ? Still these exhibitions amuse. The acting is flip I
pant and graceful, and the music sometimes excellent. The Ear
lish, who have no national music, affect to despise french. It le
sometimes, perhaps, tinsellnia—hut 1 own, it irequensly catches
niy tansy, and even my heart.
" But too much of these topics. I am net sorry for having
come hither when I did. Perhaps you see society better when
cut into piece-meal—as in anatomy, every thing is laid bare to
the student. Perhaps It is seen to great disadvantage. The best
le son that nun can learn is toleration, and traveling ought to be
the best school. There are many points in which this people must
be allowed praise—lively, cheerful, a constitutional philosophy,
disposing them to be always satisfied. I wish as to Government
they could be brought to an anchor. Whether that is to happen, 1
' Who can. tell ? Nothing can be mere divided than the general
sentiment. The higher military men have got safe Into harbour,

easted—loorarrears due. They cannot employ them abroad for
want of money, and, when the devil is raised, and can't be kept
in work, we know the story. The favour to Bonaparte is the
more singular, because, allowing for his extraordinary energy, I
doubt if he had a single great quality. It was clear he was no
.Itatesinao ; force alone was sufficient for all be did. Men here
cif the best authority pronounce him a man of uncommon energy
in action ; but of no talent for retreat. The question is of more
I"ceriosity than moment; if otherwise, it might not be easy to ,
I
`prove what credit to give to these criticisms.
,
" At last we have got our passports, and ordered a carriage .
for
.tp-morrow. We shall go by Dieppe—neither my fellow'
traveller nor myself in the best health or spirits. I have a great
kindness for him, though no human beings can be more diffe-
rent. I don't think diversity is incompatible with friendship sr
affection; but strong contrariety, I fear, is. How different are
they from the volatility of France—as well as from the fond, ar-
dent, Indiscreet vehemence of our poor people! Certainly it it
not mere interest that forms the weight to the clock, though the
setter want of any regiating power makes it a sad time-piece;
but I consider it now as nearly a wedearanst eat, and the 'astir.
re cdon Act little other than a monumental inscription."
" LONDON, TOIDDAY.
" A new renue.—After a day spent at Dieppe, we sailed, and
after forty hours landed at Brighton. I don't like the state of
my health. If it was merely seatain, tinder sailing orders for the
undiscovered country, I should not quarrel with the passport.
There is nothing gloomy in my religious impressions, though 1
trust they are not shallow. I might have been better.-1 know
:Aso that others have been as blameable--and I have rather a
-cheerful reliance upon mercy than au abject fear of justice; or,
were it otherwise, I have a much greater fear of suffering than
of death.
" I had almost made tipsily mind to bestow a citizen to France,
aryl 1 ant anortilled at hudiug any drag upon the intention; yet a
drag there is. I have no doubt that revolution has thrown that
county a century back. Yet she has quilities that might have

In Paris might answer better.
" I just now .(Wednesday) return from a long conversation
with the truly Royal Personage who saves you the postage of
