The Prefect of Grenoble has issued r Atha swims
order : it savours so strongly of the Lano of the hi'
losophists, Revolutionists, and Bonapartists, thdwe
strongly suspect the worthy magistrate to be an elms
of their school: not being able to discover the authors
of certain seditious placards, but judging c I
offal
that they mast come from disaffected persons, h: 61%
upon certain persons by name, who he says are bon
to be agitators, and announces to them, that it the
authors are not discovered they shall be punished in
their stead. Shame ! shame'! Monsieur le Pain!

revived with a vengeance.
It is a curious circumstance that an income rlt

poles a Ten per Cent. Tax on ail Incomes exceeding

ENGLISH PRISONERS IN SOUTH
AMERA.

By a vessel arrived at Liverpool, we have received
letters from Jamaica to the 31st January, with some
farmer pairiculars respecting our countrymen con-
jolt st Carthagena, Our Readers know that a
• British frigate was some time ago sent from Jamaica
cothagena, by Rear-Admiral DOUGLAS, to de-
ed the release of these persons. The following
me believe, be found a correct copy of
vigaNSWElt OF GENERAL PAUL MORILLO.
4, Head quarters at Carthagena of the Indies,
7th January, 1816.
o liost Excellent Sir—l have detained no other
Englishmen in tilt; city than Messrs. Wellwood
Nyslops and Eckart, the first of whom I have de-
piled over to the tribunals, to undergo judgment
for crimes which I will make your Excellency ac-
quainted with in due time. I did intend to have him
stied by a military tribunal, together with many other
Spaniards; but in order to give your Excellency a
sew proof of the esteem I entertain for your person,
sod in consequence of Hyslop's being a subject of
the English nation, the ally of Spain, I will do every
thing I can fur him, which will be to have him tried
at once by the civil tribunal, to whom I will recom-
mend, your Excellency's mediation : but I must ob-
serve to you, that the laws must have their course,
and that I cannot alter them.
el Should there be any other Englishmen in the
Province, capable of returning to Jamaica, as well as'
Eckart, I will give your Excellency notice thereof in
proper time, that .you may send a conveyance for
them : this shall be done as soon as the blockade is
tsised, which 1 inteod doing as soon as the same shall
be consistent with my operations.
• May GOD preserve your Excellency many years.
(Signed) " PAUL SIORILLO.
▪ Ts his Excellency Rear-Admiral Douglas, commanding
the &lush Squadron, Jamaica."
On this letter we have to remark, that it corn.
lances with a statement, that only Messrs. HYSLOP
and Eccaar were detained in Carthagena. Could the
Genet be ignorant that the crews of at least five,
(one of our letters says six) British vessels, are in con-
finement, and some of them in irons or does he
speak true to the ear, but false to the fact ? If these
prisoners have been removed to the interior, they are
no longer in Carthagena. We know that several
Gentlemen were so marched away—without even
shoes or stockings, air common necessaries, tied two
sad two, lite telons.
Another fact is confirmed by this letter : that the
Ptensible blockade of Carthagena is kept up for the
purpose of decoying more British vessels into that
port. Such a nefarious proceeding will of course ob-
tain early attention from Ministers, as well as the
danger to which our countrymen are exposed, by
charges to whick vindictive persecutors are never at
a loss to give some colouring. We cannot suppose
Ministers to be ignorant respecting any of the
points connected with the imprisonment of our
countrymen, nor shall we be easily induced to
believe that their fate is viewed by Ministers with in-
difference :—but we may.add that this is not one of
those occurrences which can adroit of delay in their
deliberations. We know that much valuable British
poperty was depositeu at Carthagena, but impera-
tive as this circumstance may be for pi -milt exertion,
it nabs into insignificance when the wavelet dangers
Is which these prisoners are exposed is brought into

Never did we witness such a display of exultation
and joy as pervaded all ranks ye.terday, in this great
31140 polis, on the victory gained by the Nation over
&friends of the Income Tax. Ministers, till the
lot moment, expected, in spite of the general sense
N the people out of Parliament, to carry their mea-
nt& by the Vote of the House. They had even
counted heads, and had settled the precise number
On which they could reckon. Their expected mak.,
my had been fixed at sweaty awe. This tact we
hare from a Gentleman who gave them his vote and
bllY expected to be on the winning side.

Are we come then to that pass in this free country,
tit the vote of a majority in the Houscof Commons,
Warm of any measure recommended by the general
"ice, should be a matter of exultation and triumph/
The thing, in its very natures seems impossible, when
k is considered that the Members are sent to the
House on the service of their Constituents—that they
are their Representatives—that they speak their sen.
daunts, and watch ever their interests. It is high
hale that the modern sophistry of Members being the.
Representatives not of their Constituents but of the
Nation at large, should be exposed to proper con-
binPt i and especially the corollary attached to this
411ste, that the Member is to be the sole judip of
Mist is best for his Constituents apd the Country.
This impudence deserves severe reprobation, and
