with the eseeptios of some itinerations in tY
up of that Project.
M. Di Lk BOODDottrallit spoke ID fewest of the
umeedieent for voting the army *nasally. " If,"
said he,t"yoe give the Monarch the 010MOr of re.
crulting the army without the authority of the anti.
hers; if you great him an anneal levy of '40.000
. etre,' without omit-Galin( the another; if you thus
lnrnish him with the meting of arbitrarily segment-
ing that panther, yon give him absolute power; it
will then only require a strong inclination to repress
opinions, to sabdoe the Chambers, and to command
all taaes"-L(Great agitation in the Assembig.)-7
However, placed in the Midst of Europe in arms,
forced to cover immerse frontiers, to guard nemeroos
fortresses, -to maintain internal tranqitillity, France
cannot do without an army. The question was, how
to establish a Constitutional mode of having that
army. Ile did not think thipropoiked Project would
accoMplish the object, and therefore be should volt!
for its rejection:

ance. Can the facts be denied ? They are larnemable•
circumstances for tl.e poor sufferers, whose Aressese
coder misfortune entitles them to more commisera-
tion and attention than, we fear, have been bestowed
on their case. The Editor of the Courier imagines
he makes a very logical remark when he says,
" Those who are known to have committed specific
crimes are not susptlcted of committing them."
Quere—How are the Evamses known to have com-
mitted crimes, when no trial bas been instituted
against them, and not even their accusers are known,
bet by suspieion ? The Courier so doubt thinks I
that sort of justice the best which' is said to have pre-
vailed in some parts of his country, namely, the old
practice of hanging persons and then judging them.
The prisoners wished to know their accusers, a right
which the lowest subject is entitled to demand by
the laws and Constitution of England.. This Inquiry
is met with the Inqiiisition doctrine, " that the
safety of the State, an extreme necessity, paramount
to the technical forms of lase, rendered that disclosure

neither law nor reason to justify their incarceration,
Nay, it is even yet inespedient to say on what
grounds they have thus been trotted. This Is equal
to the worst days of the horrid Inquisition. If this
doctrine of expediency is allowed to justify such dark
end cruel minded proceedings, punishments will be
multiplied but justice will be unknown. The Old
Bailey and the costly establisbmebt of the Judges and
Judicial Courts may, under soch circumstances, be
dispensed with, and one lawless and resistless tyranny
swallow all.
It is reported that a Bill of Indemnity will be
brought in at an early period of the ensuing Session,
to protect Ministers from the consequences of their
conduct ender the Habeas Corpis Suspension Act.—
The-two Messrs. ETANS2-however, by refusing their
release.on Ike proffered teems, evidently stood upon
the broad ground of justice, the nature of which no
laws can alter or destroy, and expect that compensa.
tlon which is ever due of right to injured innocence.

RELEASE OF THE MESSRS. EVANS.
We bare just been informed, that the above Gee.
denten were liberated from Horsemanger.lane Jail
yesterday evening, by an unconditional order from
Lord SIDUOVIU.

We mention with pleasure, and the Public will,
we doubt not, be glad to find, by the Advertise.
ment which appears in this. Paper, that a Public
Meeting is called by an intelligent and active Janis-
trete to take into considenttlon the-beans of adopting
some mode of petting a stop to the arbitrary mono•
poly of the Brewers; which enables them to gala
and to fis their own prices for the most necessary
beverage of themiddling and lower classesof the People,
without even any intimation, or professed regard to the
ability of the consumers. The Meeting will take place
on Monday nett, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern.
We hope the proposers of it, and the object it bas in
view, will be well supported. The raising of the
price of Porter to its psesent extravagant pitch,
whilst this beverage has decreased in quality, and the
means of the labouring and lower classes to reach
it, have been greatly reduced, appears as creel
as it is unreasonable. We believe Beer is now
sold at a higher price than was ever charged before in
.a time of peace. The War Malt Duty, -which the
Cuxocetwo of tit. Excnzqusa beiterookey re-
mitted, has now been put on again by the .Brewers.
With that duty charged on it, with the axles of
labour each high% and conseqeently with all the
articles that contribute to its production mucb.deseer
-than they ate at prose,. and with the oppressive In-

OPOSig,OI I.
where much bad usually been drank, resoletioes
were entered into against the Brewers' esactions,
anti they excluded it in some instances altogether till
be price should be reduced ; or agreed, under certain
lees sod penalties, only to admit it in diminished
quantities. The consequence of their acting up to
these wise resolves, was that which they bad pro.
mired themselves should be their reward. The
Brewers saw their avarice had carried them too far;
they found the Public too steong fee them, and the
advance at that time was not persisted in.
We wish not to threw sumerked obloquy On any
class of men ; bat really, at this moment, we know
soot how to account for the additions' charge of two.

city which eau only be effectually repressed by elm
.our se ' I. Ave recommended. As yet we have heard
no satisfactory reasons urged in justification of tke
parties of whom we complain ; and these who hold
them guiltless would do well to make it known
without delay, whether the rise is to be considered
as prospective or retrospective. .
This indiction upon the Public by the Brewers has
been 'meowed to be justified by the statement that
Beer ceneot the node from new Malt ; and that, its
fact, it is new that he this article we must' !offer for
the bad harvest of 1/116. This may, be a more
plausible story than the one first circulated about the
failure of the Hops; but if it be true, we hope it
will be borne in mind at the end as well as at the
beginning of the year. if we can help it, this shall
not be forgotten, when the period arrives at which,
supposing the statement to be tree, we ought, when
drinking our porter, to revel in that abundance with
which Providence blessed the year that has jest
closed. li.ve the claims sent abroad led the Brewers
to anticipate a renewal of the War Malt Doty ? is
it to meet this that these Gentlemen, who ate Meted
with So large a portion of- that comfortable tithe,
'prudence, have 'already raised the price of their
Porter?—We hope this question will not mei&
ssAfeed their delicacy, as some among them most
be aware that within the last three years, it was
stated by one of their seen number 'in the House of
Vivito-eons, that *asp of the price of Porter sot

with respect to duties which affected them that is,
_they- bad, as they themselves confessedk lazed the
Public for some months unnecessarily, from an ap-
prehension that after a time, to add to their bards°a
would be unavoidable !

It will be twee by the Articles in another coleren,
that the Grand Jury, at the dose of their labours at
the Old Bailey yesterday, made a Presentment of tbs
Prison of Newgate, on account of ,its envolabte want
of cleanliness, of classification, the nekedness of se‘
seal of the prisoners, and other evils. This is a
complaint which has freqeently been made. We
hope, however, that the effect will be a removal of
the evils complained of: On the same colemn with
the Grand Jury Presentment, we place also an in-
teresting 'strict from a pamphlet just peblished by
Mr. Bentrwrr on the necessity of en immediate re-
form of the abuses existing in Newgate.

The answer to the enquirers respecting the state of
the Duke of YORK, yesterday was, " His Royal
highness has had a good night, and is much better."
Yesterday the Duke of Wer.usovoe and Lord
STEWART transected business at the Secretary of
State's Office for the Foreign and Colonial Depart-
ments. At five o'clock the Duke of ,Wer.orravos
bed a long interview with Lord CASTLIIRRAGII, at
his house in St. James's-square. His Grace after.
wards dined with Lord CASTLEREAGU, at men, is
company with several foreigners and personages of
distinedon.
We eke. authorised to state, that there is not the
10014
,oidotion for the repprt- of the death of the
Eair4 ( trim*. k letter received lateen yesterday,
franked by hiaLordsbip, states, that he is much better.
and, greet hopes are. entertained of his speedy re-
coverts:
Gazettes from Rio de Janeiro to the .13th of No.
'ember, have been received. They describe in glow-
ing terms the arrival of the Austrian Archduchess
Lzornottre, now Princess Royal of Portugal awl
Brazil, in her adopted coeutry. The debsrkatioe
took place in the forenoon of the 6th, when the
King and Queen, with the Prince Royal, west ill
grand procession to the shore, where having received
the Princess Royal on her landing with every mart
of splendid. ceremony, proceeded in the same state
through the principal streets, crowded with applaud-
ing spectators, to the Royal Chapel, *bete the
nuptial benediction was pronounced. The Kora
Personages then retired to the Palace, while the
people were amused with siilitery spectacles, theatri-
cal exhibition& and brilliant illuminations.
In the Royal Almanack for Spain, the Duke. of
WELLINGTOX and Lord Bterstoan are mentioned
with the rank of Captains-General. The Sonia
Army consists of 50 regiments of infantry, of three
- battalions each. 30 regiments of caralry,• figs
squadrons of garlic-eviller'', and* 64 comptaniva of Ir.
