areas, and the prudent realer nos which are fill
continued. tee, thank Goo, have nothing to remind
us of the late rebellion. We are come back to that
Rate. when with the increafe of public fecurity and
conSdetreva fnbjeds of public curiofty are leffening.

howevero has furnifhed me with an incident which
thews, at once, the adive hollility of our *common
enemy, and the counteratßing vigilance of our own
Government. A Frenchman, ar, emitfary of his na-
tion, was ta;en lip in the neighbourhood of Lime
rick and bronght top to town, under an elcort of light
honk. He tray eita• ''ned at the Caine. and remanded

ful, .. lirrng, and an unprincipled foe to contend
with, and it behoves us to call into adinn all the re-
fources of our moral and phytical ar.mgth to oppofe
him.
