atemy diminishes our awn, and increases his wealth ;
nor is the commerce which must be carried on to pro-
cure these hostile luxuries, capable of being defended
on the ground of affording a favourable balance of
trade. The subjects of NAPOLEON are not permitted
to take in return for these any commodities of British
urigin—they must be paid in gold—the want of
which, in this country, is sufficiently notorious. The
real depreciators of our paper currency are the con-
sumers of French articles.

But even the consumption of the prod'acts of the
countries of the enemy, enormous as thii evil is, con-
stitutes but a small part of the injustice that is done
to our own industrious community. For every fo-
reigner employed in service or in trade, a British
subject is left unemployed. This is a grave and affect-
init truth, and if every family that is infected with
the Alien Mania would consider, when they hear
themselves addressed by their foreign sycophants, that
an equal number of beggars who at the same moment
Tare imploring alms throughodt the kingdom, are
beggars Merely because these foreigners are permitted
to usurp their rights; much of the prevalent distress
would be speedily removed. Are these outcasts from
from their own cduntry, these reptiles, swindlers, and
spits' better servants than our own honest Country-
folks ? Had not this Alien Manhi nearly proved
fatal to the Duke of ComBERLAND ?
How many other atrocious instances of its effects
are to be found in the records of on:. Courts?-14ow
many swindlers, gamblers, poisoners of morality, in-
-1 fest this kingdom; under the different denominatioris
Of Panders, Princes, Fiddlers, Dukes, Danceri,
Barons, Doctors, Counts, cut-purses, valeii, and
villains ?—We cannot speak of them With temper.
Every Nation is a body, complete within itself, and
every part has a natural and political claim upon the
Others. Those who employ foreigners are guilty of
political turpitude, and act against nature. They
deserie to be considered, in the first place, as unsound
parts of the body to which they belong ; and, in the
second, they merit more than the indignation of those
that suffer privations by their shameful disilegard of
natural obligation. They are, fact, sores, if yiot
excrescences, upon the body politic of which they.
Should be members ! •

The, Nest stone of Druryline Theatre is to be laid
in the course of next week.
COYERT•GARDEN THEATRE.--Last night Mrs.
StnnoNs once more delighted the public with a re-
petition a the pact of Isabel, in Sitaxcskattpt's
charming Pity of Measure for Illeasnre. Het stippli-
cation to Angelo, and her subsequent indignation at
the proposal he makes, were each excellent, and their
;effect vMs striking, from the admirable manner in
which the genius of our immortal Bard has contrasted
thorn with each other. A 'similar observation will
apply to the scene where she visits Claudio in prison.
—ln the last scene, she was all that could be wished.
Her application to the Duke, her despait at his harsh
response, and the succeeding appeal to HRAYEN, we
know not how iiitficiently to praise. M. Kusrat,e
personated the Duk of Austria with due solemnity ;
and Mr. Bat:Nrof's C/dtidio, afforded no grounds to
regret the absence of Mr. C. Kestaus. The play -al- i
together was uncommonly well performed ; and we i
hope to see it often repeated.
A numerous and respectable meeting yesterday
dined at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, to celebrate'
the acquittal of Messrs. Twee and HARDY in 1794..,
D. W. HAnvt.l. Esq. was in the Chait, attd the even-
ing was spent with much conviviality.
The follow ing were among the toats :—The Kint.—The Prince
Regest ; sod may hr never forzet the principles that seated his
illustrious family on the throtie of these kingdoms—with three
I times three.--The Rights of Man—The Trial by Jury—with
three times three.—Lord Erskine.—The Memory of Vicary
Gibbs, Esq.—in silence.—Unconstrained and universal Liberty
of Conscience, With Thanks to Lord Sidmouth and Wellesley
' Pole, for their undesigned labours in the cause.—The Honest
Jury who acquitted Mr. White—with three times three.
A few days since, the youngest son of CRANO-A.i.
Low, King of Easter Island, was baptized at Rother-
liithe Church, in the name of HCNRY EASTRR, after
the island. This Prince came to England about six
years ago, in the ship Adventure, Captain Nos,
South.W:haler, who touched there to refresh the crew,
they having the scurvy. When he departed, King
CRANG-A.LOW was supposed to be 1.25 years old,
scarcely able to walk, and his hair as white as milk,
and father .f 23 children, all of whom were ghee,—
This young Prince is about 22 years of age.
Monday se night the Glynn hounds unkennelled
a fox in Dunmear Wood, which ran the dogs through
[ Cotter Wood, and thence across the country for a
'voile beyond Dubb-Walls,—batik again and over
Rougtor, and thence through Blisland, St. Tudy, and
t Teeth, where Reynard lost all his followers, but about
seven couple of dogs, which witre left in pursuit of
him, and up to Wednesday night had not been heard
of, The horses and their riders were completely boar u/t.
A gentleman of great fortune and respectability,
in Nelson's Crescent, Ramsgate, had a narrow escape,
a few days ago. Taking his favourite walk to Broad-
stairs, by the Cliff, he fell, and was almost precipi-
tated to the bottom of a hideous chasm, most repre-
hensibly left unfenced in that direction.
So frequent and so daring are the robberies at pre-
sent, that not less than four houses in Soho-square
were robbed on Monday night, namely, the houses
Nos. 22, 23, 24, and 25. From one of these, that of
Robert Adair, Esq. the robbers carried off two time.
keepers which cost 70 guineas each, several gold
watches, dl( in cash, and other property to the
amount of £350.
The building of a new Prison near St. George's
Church, in the Borough, instead of the Marshalsea,

ated for the exclusive custody of persons termed Ad-
miralty prisoners, who are sentenced to iatiotts pet
