• The Search for Arms Bill, and the Bill to punish
Libels, but in truth intended to muzzle the Press,
both passed the Lords last night ; but not without
Protests from those Lords who had'opposed their,
progress. Let us hope that it will yet receive many
modifications in the Commons, fol. incleed it needs:
them. To make a man give security for good beha-;
viour upon thernerg presenting of a charge againstl
him—by perhaps a tool or alireling—and chat be-
fore any evidence has been. produced of his having
committed an offence, is—nor can the Law Lords
be ignorant of the fact—contrary to the fundamental
principles of the English Constitution, and yet therel
is a Clause of this kind in this Bill—lt enacts that
" it shall be lawful for any of his-Majesty's Courts-1
of Record at Westminster or Dublin (&c. &c.) before
whom any per-son shall be brought, charged with hav-
ing printed, &:.&c. for the purpose of giving bail upon,
such charge, to make it a part of the condition otthe
recognizanceto be entered into by such person, and his
or her bail, that the person so charged shall be of good
behaviour during Mc continuance of such recogni-;
nonce ! This is not yet law, and therefore we give
it its proper name, it is cruel injustice. Yet this is
but one of the minor clauses. To demand Securities,
to an indefinite amount for the payment of undefined
penalties for an undefined offence, is to put an impri-
*icier on the Press. And why is this tp besdemanded?
To preserve the Constitution ? It tears up its very
foundation. To make men love and venerate the
laws? Indeed! What man who loves truth and jus-
tice can do otherwise than reprobate a law like this?
The following are the sober sentiments of an old
servant of the Public (the Editor of The Morning
Chronicle) on this Bill :
" It is not possible for ns to.aad any argumept to strengthen
the eloquent and conclusive reasoaiags of the Noble Lords who
seised their voices against what they justly denominated the
hdeous measure which is devised against the Press. Our hum-
ble testimony, from long experience, may be given to correbo-
rate the objections so forcibly urged by the Marquis of ,Lares-
vows, Lcirds Gasv, Bums, and HOLLAND; for the Editor of
- this Paper, after an experience as a Journalist, of between forty
and fifty years, knows not to this day, how, conshteutly with an
honest ditcharge of his duty to the Publin, he, could avoid prose-
cution for that anomalous misdemeanour called Seditious label.
He has fortonately so conducted himself, as never to have in-
curred the verdict of, Guilty by a Jury, though he has not
escaped infqrnuitions a Ode. If it should be said, that this
long course of ufay may be advanced,as a priof, that while a
ionrailii conducted on constitutional principles, and with a just
regard to public decorum, its censure of the Administration for
the time being will not subject its Authors to the penalties con-
templated by this Bill; we answer, that one instance of relief
by the irresistible powers of persuasion, such as we found in our
illustrious Advocate, and also by having• the advantage of an
enlightened and conscientious Jury, holds out no dependence for
successful defence hereafter, under the impression which the
13ills now pusiai through Parliament are calculated to make on
the public mind.
"islets. by dese Bills, terrify the People. They mag-
Vititheexisting clamour into a burst of seditious rebellion, and
they hold forth the Press is the active and dangerous instru-
ment of this popular ferment. Under this prejudice, what mall'
prosecuted by the Arronsurr-Gmumax can hope for escape?—
Juries must have stiong mindi, indeed, to resist the influence of
this panic. And, notwithstanding the affected boasting about
the inestimable blessings of a free Press, we are sure that the
cry against its licentiousness would be kept up whenever a victim
was to be persecuted. If this hideous Bill should pus in its
present form, we ask, could any Editor, Printer, or Bookseller,
procure responsible persons to become bail for them to an inde-
finite smooth, against any fine Which the discretion of a Court
might impose? The writer of this article declares, that he
knows not how he could presume to ask a friend to enter into
such en engagement for him, however much that friend might
be *lined to trust to his lodgment, experience, and integrity—
atom she law makes no allowance for error, to which every
human being is subject, nor for absence, nor for positive igno-
rance of the matter that espy be complained of. If this is ue be
required, it is an imprimatur on the periodical Press; and rose
know alto, that the most respectable Booksellers feel it to be an
. impediment to the public-mien of almost-any work upon P,o*
and Government.
It has been justly said, that the power of the
GorsirAL to hold over a prosecution for any length of daub I.
a dreadful grievance; but what would it not have been but forl,
the rule of Court which we happily were the means of estab-
lishing? In the memorable period of 1795, an lafornsition er
oileio was filed against the writer of this article and his printer,
for words contained in an Address from.the Town of Derby.
The ArTORNr.T-GoisiLAl did not proceed, after repoaseghette.%
until December, 1793; and be moved for a new .Tner ashes he
etlon to ttiaL This was resisted. Mr. Ennuis phew, bee
the Jury first struck and reduced was the Jury that snort dram '
cases; amt he argued, that with the power which 'the Law et,
ficers of the Crown had to postpone, trial for any length ef
they might do so from year to year, until they found a .112riln'l
- whose devotion they might have confidence. Mr. Bessawe's ar-
gamest was iirmistible, and it seas made a Rule of Court, that
the Jury first struck should be the Jury to try the cause.
et we rely on the IrMependeut Representatives of thp People,
that wises this Bill shalt come to the Commons House, It will
• twinge the same scru.iny that it has undergone in the House of
'lards. but with mote success. From the speeches of ewers

For several nights past, says the Carlisle Journal
,of Saturday, a party of the Sixth .Carbineers'have
patr'oled the neighbourhood in different directions,
with the object of dispersing or securing personal
futind assembling for military training; but hithertol
no • persons so employed have been apprehended,
though we are told by one of the Carbineers, that he
lately saw five men exercising with pikes near the
southi end of the City. As a precautionary measure,
the Cavalry have received orders to get their swords
sharpened, which operation, we understand,i;in pro-"
cess. Additional precautions Kaye been also taken,
to secure the troops and horses from surprise: in ad-4
*dition to which, the few spare arms belonging to
them were last week removed from the store-rooro,
behind the West walls, into the Castle, which is its
safely kept as if the place was in a state of siege.

The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived this forenoon.
The Duke of RicriettEu arrived in Paris on Fri-
day, and had immediately a private audience of the
KING, which lasted about, an hour.
The Chamber of Deputies was crowded with visi-
tors on Friday, in the expectation that the question
respecting the validity of the election of M. GREGOluzi
would come on for discussion. It was, however, de-
ferred till'Monday. An objection was made to the.
return.of General TA It),T RE, for the Department of,
Charente-Inferieure, on the ground of an informality
in the proceeding, and sustained by a majority of 111
votes to 95, in consequence of which a new election
must take place. The chamber afterwards proceeded
to the formation of a list of candidates for the Presi-
dentship. 'The number of Members present was 214,
and' the only individual who obtained' an absolute
majority of this number was M. Ravzz, for whoa
there were 136 votes. Another ballot, to completel
the list was to take place on Monday.
The following Members stand next to M. RAvez,
in point of votes—M.Biuusot lot; M. LAMY, 95;

By the frost which set id the beginning of the
week, the Upper Elbe was partly covered with ice,
by which the communication with Luneburg and
Magdeburg was impeded ; but as very mild wea-
-1 ther set in yesterday
,evening, and seems likely to
continue, the ice, which is drifting, will probably'
soon disappear from the Elbe.

By the last intelligence from Rio de Janeiro, it ap-
pears that the Court of Brazils has lost all hope of
an adjustment with Spain relating to the affairs of
the Rio de la Plata, and that the former has, there-
fore, taken all the precautions dictated by prudence,
to protect her trans-Atlantic dominions from any in-
sult That the Spaniards may intend against them, if ever,
their hoisted expedition should reach those shores. -
Every exposed point of that Monarchy has been put
into a state of defence, and Monte-Video has been
provided with every means of resistance.
Orders have likewise been transmitted to the Go-
vernment of Portugal, directing that a quantity of
ammunition and provisions be sent immediately to
Monte-Video, with a body of fresh troops, 'escorted
by two men of war, which are donbly-manned,' that
they may fill up any deficiences in the garrison or
the squadron which they are going to joia.ih the' Rio
de la Plata. -
This intelligence is corroborated by that which we
have just received from Lisbon, stating, that in con-
sequieoce Of the ahove-mentioned order having been
received from the Brazils, an expedition; consisting,
it, is said, of about 5000 men, (including volunteers
and recruits, to complete the corps already in the
Brazils), and two sari of the line, was fitting out in
that port, and would certainly arrive at Monte-VV=
deo before the Spanish expedition, should it ever
again be heard of, could leave Cadiz.
Yesterday, at two o'clock, his Royal Highness tile
PRINCE REGENT held a Court at Carlton House, foe l'

Guard of Honour with presented 'arms, the hand-
playing an approiriate air r, they mastered between

rounded by several of his Cabinet Ministers. 'De.

Cape of Good Hope Papers to the 26th of Septem-
ber, contain the details of military operations against
the Caffres, which have nearly been brought-to the
d,sired termination. A large body of these marau-
ders were gallantly attacked on the 4th of August by
a corps of Burghers, and completely routed. The
notorious Chiefassa, well known .to the colonists
by the atrocities he has for many years beer commit-
ting on their territory, fell in the action.. From the
4th to the 14th of August frequent skirmishes took
place, all terminating in the rout of the Caffres, and
the recapture of the herds they had carried of. On
the 15th, one of their Chiefs, named Lyn:, surren-
dered at discretion ; this man was believed to ,be a
prophet, and • possessed an extraordinary influence
over the Chiefs and people. Another Chief, named
'Tsambie, offered to surrender also, if Lyn; could
be shown to him ; but this could not be'done, as he
had been sent to Graham's-town. By the 86th of
August, the forests of the Fis.h-river bad been en-
tirely cleared of Caffres; their Complete dispersion,
and-with it- the *return of tranquillity to the colony,
'was confidently anticipated. : The Caffre Chiefs had
become far less formidable, as, in addition to the
force brought againt there by the colonists, they
had to contend with the hostility of some of their
own tribes.

Because the right of having arms for their defence, suitable se
' their condition and degree, is secured to British NODjects•by the
ancient laws of them realms, is declared to be in by the Big
Rights, and is, .in the wends of Mr. Justice Blackstone, "a
public allowance of the natural right of resistance e..tt sell pcti
servatiun, when the sanctions of society. and 1 iv.a are found in.
sufficient th restrain the violence of oppression."
Because rawsufficient evidence has been laid before the Rom
to prove " that arms and weapons of various sorts have in vari•
ous parts of the kingdoms been collected, and are kept fat per
poses dangervus to the pablic peace." We doubt the fact, aid
we distrust the renfedy. ff arms have really been procured for
!tub illegal purposes, the persons engaged in these eriznieal de-
signs will have ample notice, before this Bill can psis, se ream,
them to places of concealment. Whilst thbpower, therefore, is
likely to be in a great degree inefficient with respect to its pro.
leased object, it is liable to be moat iisjusiously and vexatiously
need-in cases where arms may have been provided and kept fu
the legitimate purposes of self-defence.
Because, in former periods of mock greater danger to the
Crown and constitution of these realms, *hen mospiracies
the adherents of the Hm.use of Stuart were known to be directed
against both, witen preparations were making for s 'baton wide
the assistance of France, when mem of the highest rank, statisav
mad hieuence in both kingdorns,were deeply engaged in UMe
designs; nay, during two formidable rebeiiimes aad
1145, no such power was granted to the Crows ; yet the new
line of succession was defended,. and our free Constitution sac.
easefuliy maintained against all these dangers. ' The prindples
the- Revolution bad been. too firmly imprinted in the harts sad
minds of our ancestors to allow them, on the spar of any enter_
gooey, however alarming, to hazard tip eristence Of a nos
which they had so recently asserted.
Seesaw this law is, in its very nature, peculiarly liable is
,alasse. Interest, credulity, malevolence, revenge, party-vio.
luxe, and indiscreet seal may, equally with a sense of duty,
contribute to call it into action; and, the powers given for jy
execution, of breaking, either by day or night, into any home
sr place where information asfy have been received that anus
are kept for illegal purposes, must uaavoldably expose the per-
sons and property of his Majesty's subjects to injury and an.
lance, which cannot be sufficiently guarded against by the pm-
visions made in the Bill for that psalm& This is not a mere
apprehension. Experience proves that sash effects may be ex-
pected from it. In Ireland, it is well known, wititiog more con.'
tributed to irritate the People, .and to provoke acts of private
resentment and revenge, than the abuses wLish took place, and
partieularly the insults which were acted to women, in tin
Icterelas of a similar power.
Deanne we rurther ,abject to the enactment of this Law ta
part of a system which, in a season of unexampled distress and
misery, rejecting every proposition for conciliation or coneessioa,
resit on force alone for the suppression of the prevailing clas-
=stem, and is calculated to give additional weight to as
don *beady too generally entertained--that the Parliament is
mere reedy to presume against the People, and to enact lies
for their restraint, than to attend to their just complaints, and se
afford them that protection which they have a right to (lake
against every species of injustice and oppression.
