Ambitious or weak Princes (we mean weak is
intellects), with obsequious and corrupt Ministers,
seek every occasion of augmenting or perpetuating
their power by creating new dignities. We, is
like manner, bear nothing now but LORD die, end
Sin that, tent which ever way we will. The sto-
mach may be sickened and nauseated with toe
sue! high-seasoned food. Another method pm,
old by Governments of the above stamp I, is
ibultlply offices or enlarge the boundaries of others

and our inferences drawn from other countries) it

the braver department had not patronage enough
before. Whatever any trick of this kind is to be
played off, there are hundreds of expectants, like
the holder of a lottery ticket, who, hoping to be
the favoured objects, say nothing against the mea-
nie tin all is over, when the disappointed manner
dident, which, like the passing gale,soon dies away.
There is another means which Governments of the
above description take to make themselves of im-
portance : to those stubborn PATRIOTS, whose spi-
rits they cannot break down, nor convict of misde-
meanour, they give them many causes of disgust, in
order to make suet, persons feel the weight of their
authority ; and either artfully provoke thee to
furnish reasons for their being dismissed, IMPRINWI
. them to resign a place they can no longer hold with
honour. And, to make the affront more col*
cuous and effectual, they give the office to a paws
of wooled worth, and of inexperienced talent, not
considering the country's interest ; and this tiny do
as an example to all other refractory spirits!!

After such legislation as we have witnessed for
this last month—legislation which cannot fail, at
no great distance of time, to involve the Legislators
in difficulties and dangers, we must observe another
order of tactics ftom that which has usually been
practised in descanting on the measures of the
Government. The perspicacious eyes of the Law
Officers of the Crows will, no doubt, watch the
press, even " the most respectable part Of the
press," with • malign solicitude, after the last
sanction is given to the remaining part of the sive
Date (they are to pass the Royal Assent this day

Pot we would most gladly vote for putting the
Mt man to death who should propose, in the
Council of the Nation, to append that tersosul se-
curity Act. If the State cannot subsist without

Constitution and wise legislation to the People's
real representation, let it go, and a better, a wiser,
an honester, he established in its room. A suspen-
sion of the Habeas Curpas of itself, in reason, is
justice, is common sense, implies that the State has
run out of its course, and ought to be brought bath
again, or a new one formed. These patriots,
then, with many others, who deserve eqnal cen-

people. A few of these men always trim the be-
ldam in an animated libration of powers, and turn
the scale against the liberties of their country.
Some of them are luxurious, and most have a table
and wine ; some are libertines, and must have wo-
men and equipages; and as the Minister, under
Inch a I.y stem as governs England, can deal out or
withhold these desiderata, they grin over such
plated, not sterling, patriots. This is the way,
that, on emergencies, the KING, or the Patwee, and
his Minsters, triumph over every resistance of the
people, and trample on their franchises. The Ha-
Seas Corpse is the first franchise of a people. The .
people meant it should always operate, and never
be put in abeyance. It is illustrated in this simple
story:—The people of ell ages knew that rower

A Flanders Mail arrived yesterday with Brussels
Papers to the 23d, and two Hamburgh Mails with
Papers to the 18th instant. On the 19th, the
French exiles, Huhn, Arnault, Bory St. Vincent,
Mut!filet, and Vandamme, residing. at Brawls, re-
ceived an official intimation that passports for their
return to France would be de!ivered to them by the
French Consul at Antwerp. The Spanish Govern-
ment. it is asserted, has received dispatches from
General Murillo, in which he earnestly solicits
reinforcements, until the arrival of which, he
sinks, that he must act entirely on the defensive.
The Diet at Frankfort is to be enabled by the Ger-
manic Powers to decide with supreme authority as
