," A 13.0YALIST CONDEZINED TO THE GALLIES ! !
What will become of the Royalists alias Ultras, alias
Momtrchy-men, Gon knows ; one of their accredited•
agents, one of the principal columns of their secret
p >wet., in the South of France, has just been con-
demned by an 6 Iniquitous Tribunal' to the Gailies,
merely for having pretended to be an Officer of the
Police, and seizing the person of a rich Merchant, at
night, and emerging him under the safeguard of a
dozen virtuous Reyalists, or Monarchy-men, to a
house, where they made him sign bills to a huge.
amount, and after making him take wine with poison
in it, merely for this piece of innocent form, as he
called it on his trial, the Court of Assizes of La Parte
Garonne, have condemned, to five years hard labour
ar.d the iron collar, Captain, Rough n'Atanizae, Com-
mander of one of the Secret Companies organized in
the South of France in 1315, which, :is all the world

knows, was the milleninm of the Ultra Royalists,
which, unhappily for all the world, did not last the
1000 years. Oh ! if the anti-Royartst D&CAZES had
not usurged the throne of the pure Royalist M3.tatte,
would any Jury have dared to convict.a Royalist?
And besides, this poor persecuted Royaliit had al.
ready been branded by the sentence of another ini-
quitous Tribunal for merely swindling tradestpen:
this alone would have been sufficient to make a Jury
of monarchy men acquit him. We need not go.far-
ther, this fact of itself is sufficient to pronounce the
speedy downfal of the Monarchy men, ergo, of the
Monarchy, ergo, of France, ergo, of all EUrope, ergo,
of the whole world, ergo, of the whole universe,
which is proved mathematically by the simple fact
of a Royalist being condemned to the galliei!
" It is true, ail France is at present tranquil, not-
withstanding the removal of the Monarchy men,
Prefects, alias Prefects of 1815, and chi* ccitible con-
viction of a pure Royalist : but ought things to re-
main so ? ought 28 millions and three quarters to
rule the roast over a quarter or half a quarter of a
million of Citizens whose ardent virtue makes them
common executioners to save the Tribunals the pains
and trouble of trying offenders? Certainly not, and
I am sure all Europe will agree with me, and the
Conservateur, the Drapeau Blanc, the Quokisfieune,
and the New Tunes, in this conclusion:'

In the House of Commons, last night, Mr. Alder-
man WnitninAN, on presenting the City Petition
against the Insolvent Debtors Act, made some im-
portant statements respecting the frauds alledged to
have been committed under it. But in our mind, if
tradesmen will foolishly entrust their property to
people without character, this can be no reason why
a man who is unfortunate should be left to the mercy
of a merciless creditor. It is wise and highly pru-
dent that such people should be taken under the pro-
tection of the law. For every case that Mr. WAITH•
MAN can 'produce of frauds committed under the
Act, it would be no difficult task to produce a htm-
dred in which for debts not exceeding even five
pounds, expenses have been heaped on them till the
unfortunate debtor wis immured in a prison—sand,
in many instances, perished of want, while the family
that used to be supported by his industry have been
turned to the streets, or become a burthen to the
parish. Is such indescribable misery to be propa-
gated merely to encourage tradesmen to be restiss
and imprudent? If the Act can be improved, by
all means do it ; but never again deliver the poor
debtor to the tender mercies of the cruel.

A Petition was presented by Mr. S. WORTLZY,
from the Town of Leeds, deprecating the resumption
of Cash Payments, under the existing circumstances

of the country. It is well understood in the City
