" Be it resolved, by the Senate and Hons. of Representatives,
That the State of Indiana •hall be one, and is hereby declared to

ONE OP HIS INTIMATE FRIENDS, ANN MIATELT

a Cold Bash Fields Prison, Saturday-, Jan. 4, Is 7.
66 MY DEAR FitIE.D—I proc.N.l to comply with
your desire, of obtaining from me the particui Ars of
the transaction which involved me in my present si•
tuation. I thank you fur your anxiety on my behalf.
I feel little on my own account, but rtric:i more than
can express on ace,sunt of my dear family. I trust
the Public will con.ider their situation not brought
on through want of sufficient care, industry, and eco-
nomy, on my own part or theirs, but entirely through
the pressure of the times blighting the happiness of
the whole nation: You will excuse any little in.iccu-
racies: the interruptions of this place are not calcu-
lated to leave me in possession of a mind tranquil

enough to give descriptions satisfactory to a critic.
I know, indeed, you, my friend, want only a plain
tale, honestly told.
4, At the conclusion of the fatal 21 of llnember,
which appears to have been reserved to consummate
all my calamities, and extinguish even the last lin-
gerings of hope, after having ineffntu illy endea-
voured to ascertain the correctness of the reports re-
specting my son's being taken prisoner to the House
of Correction, his leading the populace, hi. crying to
the people to follow to vie Mansion House and
Tower, wflich I heard repeatedly stated while stand-
ing before the gates in Cold Bath Fields, during the
space of five or ten minutes—l followed precipitately
with two gentlemen to Smithfield. where we over-
-1 took the rear of the multitude, which then extended
equally towards Little Britain and towards St. Se-
pulchre's Church.
[ instantly decided to go enough Cloth Fair to
Wood-street and Cheapside, that I might, if possible,
arrest his progress ; but when I arrived there through
Honey-lane Market, neither seeing nar hearing of him
or the populace, we walked deliberately forward to
the Mansion House, in the company wf a youth who
had strewn us the nearest road. Here bne or 1411/0
persons came running up to no, crying out, 44 To the
Tower! to the Tower, Gentlemen!' Thither accnr-

dingly we ran ; but when arrived there, seeing no-
thing more timid common, we went into a house for
refieshment.

" Being thus foiled in my endeavour to meet my
son wherever I sought him, and hearing varions.nn•
happy reports, one of the Gentlemen who had been
with me in Spafields, and throughout our walk to the
Tower,-earnestly advised me, talking all the circum-
stances of the case into consideration, not to remain
in town another night. I was the more easily per-
suaded to accede to their opinion, as in fact I had
determined a week before to go into the country to
a friend, from whom I expected to borrow a sum of
money to recommence my professional pursuits. as I
had hired a house, reasonably rented, for seven years.'
I delayed this intended journey from a desire to at-
tend the last Spafields Meeting, having been so re-
quested by sever4l friends, and from a desire to
counteract a proposition made by an individual.
which I was afraid would create confusion at the
Meeting. The particulars of this shall hereafter be
stated to the Public...
" I knew I had to contend with an impetuosity
rwhich
.excited considerable alarm• in my
Wltblat I was speaking in2the Yields, being repro-
, tedly pulled by the coat, I at length gave over, and
instantly my son jumped up in my place. My aro-
, trisbnieut cannot be described, as I had the evening
before got a promise from him not to attend• there.
Thl consequences that ensued are too well known.
These, with what I heard by report, induced me to
follow the advice of my ewe newly-formed friends.
°After tilting some refreshment in Fleet Market, we
set oft about nine o'clock for Northampton, designing
myself to branch off to a friend, who, I had every
reason to believe willing to afford my son protection;
and having previously to my leaving town, given di.
rections for' his future safety, provided he could have
gone where L expected be would. When we bad
proceeded as far as Highgate, I proposed we should
sleep there during the ought) but was overruled, as
We should be likely, by goog ono to overtake the
coaches, and get forward to Barnet. Just through
the bar. we were talking of the occurrences of the
day. when 'horseman passed us. looking steadily
towards as.

" The suspicion immediately arose in my mind
that he was a highwayman. I eommanicated it to
my companions. They at first ridiculed the idea,
but perceiving him returning in a crouching and con-
cealed manner to pounce opal us, one of them ob-
served; Good God, be surely is a higbwaysisan.' I
was outermost, neat to the supposed bighwayrnao,
with a bundle in my left hand, a dirk-stick in the
other, and a pistol in my breast pocket, as when I
travel I nsnalli tarry arms; the pistol was placed
carelessly in my
.pocket, the butt-end partly out, to
chew any who might be inclined to molest me, that
was well prepared. Immediately after my corn-
panioo's observation, the man seined me by the col-
lar, and demanded to know where I was going ? and
, instantly reaching towards my bundle, took hold of
be inquiring that I had got there L I frankly an-
Swered, clothes. He polled them towards him, pre-
senting at the same time a pistol to me. Haying
'dose this, he placed the bundle upon his saddle, seized
my pistol, which was in my breast pocket and very
visible. At this moment I beard a rustling behind
me. My companions seeing me rubbed, and two
other men mine suddenly up, apparently comrades'
of the *opposed highwayman, precipitately fled.—
For my own part, the shortness of the time and the
Confusion, hardly enabled' me to recover from my
surprise at being stripped of my property, and held,
by two seeming footpads. Whilst reflecting what
would be my probable fate in the hands of the ruf-
fians that held me, I was alarmed by the discharge
of a pistol, some distance ac-head, followed by a loud
and deathlike shriek. Confounded as I was before,
it appeared to nit now that my very life and the lives
of my friends were in imminent danger, and that
the pistol just fired must • have been discharged at
one 01 my companions. Having a dirk stick in my
hand, I decided instantly to risk myself, and fly to
prevent the murder of my friends. I drew the dirk,'
and told the two men to let is go, that I could do-
41t1sy them both s but being dark, they could not see
ebeir danger. Had I chosen, I could absolutely
have ran *era both through, lving the free Use of

my stills. T hoped, however, hi tem molest meat;
to get rid of the *lett, feeling convinced I ought to
prevent, if possible, murder. Reason and jiaiict
forbad me rettiaining any longer a passlie spectate*•
of robbery and vielente I and I was well aware, that
the laws of nature and of My country required me
to assist in sunpressing crime. The supposed high-
wayman quickly returned, dinnolinted, and theci
being sou-minded by several people, I mat: dragged,
after a scuffle with the two Men, in which I bad '
fallen, and was covered with mud, into a house ;
when there I perceived the men who held Me were
inturicated, one of them to very much, that whilst
I was pressed down, he stood brandishing over me at
drawn dirk, which I expeeeed. es•el moment, he
would plunge into my body.
" A person present testra:ned hith, and .catitionc3

afterwards was committed to this place: wivee I lay

of shooting at Charles Miel. The charge Wai with-

'4 If I should be found guilty tar this traheictioii,
no man can it nature be secure of lift -or property.
A gang of nulling may at all times stop any rnAn;
rob him, and it he makes resistance and they should
find themselves in clanger of detection, they "ray

will a clAose of the Bill of Rights be rendered circa
pletely nugatory, that one which allows every Eng.
lishmin who is a Protestant, the right to carry arms,
because, under this • Cu:ting and Maiming Act,' it
will renter it dangerous for any Englishman to de.
fend himself it attacked and robbed, lest should!

pernicious effect which supercedes the wisdom cf our
forefathers and puts in jeopardy the lives of the most
worthy characters in the kingdom on the groundless
suspicions of ignorance and brutality.—l am, my dear
Friend, your well-wisher. JAMLA wArscre."

. serves—We understand that of late, in several of the
principal towns of Germany, certain individuals
/at declare that they have react Commissions from
Rome, and must from time :o time give an account
of the result of their efforts. The obscurantism lately
revived in Germany, and which has chosen the Felde-
r:ran Literary Joureal for its theatre of operation's, is.
- labouring in toe same • cause. There the areurartil
openly declare that nothing can preserve the Catim..
lie Religion in Germany but the restoration of the
Order ot the Jes,iits. In the number for August it
is said.-64 It the Order of the Jesuits is not to be ad-
mitted into Germany, we know hut one way 01 doing
without them, namtiy, that. the Clergy should deter-
mine on renouncing all selfish views, and he of one
heart and mind —in ihort that dry should act as the
Order ot the Jestiits formerly acted. It U..- Clergy
cannot possibly do this, then they ought, for their
own sakes, to wish the restoration ot the Order of the
Jesuits, or some similar Order." These lovers ot
darkness would persuade the world that the Jesuits
were free from all selfish views ; and yet-it is well
known that the contrary was the principal characte-
ristic of true Jesuitism.
To re-stahlish a State within the
Smut' is the incessant endeavour of obscurantism ;
and for that purpose the Monkish System, from the
connexion with a foreign General, is capable of doing
exbelleat service.
It is now more than forty years since the princi-
ples of a Rautenfraneh, Riegger, ac. were first.
taught in all the chars of the Catholic Universities
in Germany, and carried into execution by Maria
Theresa and Joseph the Second, as well as by the
tour Catholic Archbishops ; and by that means the
false Decretals on which Ultra-montanism rests sunk

back into the empire of fiction, from which they pro.
ended. The German Clergy will allow no Mt• sa-
china beside them—that is determined ; and icy

laf power ought to be narrowed in favour of there.'
ercist of a tree clerical power ' • they, on the con-.
trary, entertain the conviction, that the secular power
ought to be s.rengtlu n.:d is much as possible,
for the sake of affording them a secure protection
against the arbitrary dominion of spiritaal superiors.
The Clergy have no lenge: an interest in withdraw-
ing themselves from civil relations s but know from
experience, that their existence, their respectability,
and their tree and truly useful efficiency, are best
protected when they are closely and inseparably in-
terwoven With the State. They remain steadily at
•their honourable pests. and lab..ar with certainty for
Religion and its internal diffusion ; and, Gob be
thanked ! any assistance from without is no longer
now necessary, as, with the exception of a few Jews,
all are Christians. They enjoy, in the tranquil
sphere of their duty, the support dills State and its
laws, which the Court of Roam and its Agents can-
not ere them.
