Tea PROPRIE eon of this Paper feels it incum-
bent upon him to notice a most flagrant and
unprincipled combination formed by the late
Editor of The STITES:44y, (falsely and arro-
gantly styliag himself the late sole Conductor),
in conjunction with certain other persons,
with a view to injure the circulation of THE
SrArEsmAy. Some of the Agents concerned
in this nefarious business have had the auda.
city to state, that this upstart Paper is vir-
tually Tut STATESMAN, under a different
name; and some unwary persons have actually
been imposed upon by such misrepresentations.
Bribes have also been offered to some of the
News Venders to induce them to substitute this
new paper for THE Sri ris a.s v; and one of
them has been dctected in substituting one
paper for the other, against whom an action
at law has been commenced, and stands for
trial next term.

We have received Dr. 'MILNER'S Leiter. explaining the
whole of the important and interesting Question of the rise
of the VETO. We heg that eloquent writer to accept our
thanks fur the honour he has dime s, in requesting its in-
sertina in Tut ST ATESM t 74. and we most gladly give it a

pod/ brought this subject before the Heusi of

DV RY—•
" liis fist ACT: comes forward, forward let him come,
Ye VULGAK, at your peril, give him room"—

His Grace Of CANTER.JURY knocked on the
head, by a single blow, the equitable design drily
Lord HOLLAND. His Grace must have learnt
boxing, mid transferred the science into a de.
bate, (a debate among Lords)' or be could
never have put in such a complete blow.—
. But the best way is, to give our Readers a little
history of all this affair of the TENTHS arid Fl KST
FRUIiS, and then we shall all see the dexterity of
his Gancz's argument. The Aucitutsuor says,
he 'Axing taken away a certain ground on which
the Noble Baran's Propositions stood, of course
they had nothing left to stand on. We mean to
see how that is—in truth, we mean to enquire if
they do not still stand on the'purity of our Holy
Religion) on the good faith. of man) and on the

Taws which give security to all Property. The
Revenues in question, the Twilit:l and FIRST
FRUITS due by Ecclesiastical Dignities andllc.
ueficett in England and Woks., were, by the Act
of the 26th of illsenT VII!. (to go no further
back than necessary) annexed to the Crown, and
by the act of the 2d and 3d of ANN given to the
Poor Clergy, as is stated in the following RCSO.

lutiutt
" Resolved, dthly. That in the Act of 2. and SANNE•e• 11.,
enabling her Majesty, by her letters patent, ander the Great
Seal of England, to incorporate sorb persons, as her MAJE sr Y
shall therein nominate, into a body politic and corporate., to
have a common seal and perpetual snecession, and to grant to
such incorporation, in trust, for the augnientatiou of the
maintenance of• tha.Poor Clergy, all the revenues of first
frdits, and yearly perpetual tenths of alt dignities, offices, be-
negacs, and promotions. spiritual whatsoever, payable to her
NIAJESTY, her heirs, and successors, by virtue of an Art of
Parliament made in the reign of-King Tinnier VIII., it Was
declared and etutets.d, that all and every the statutes and prn-

visit's's, touching or Concerning the ordering, levying, true an-
swering, and payment or qualification of the said first fruits
and tenths, or tonching the charge, discharge, or alteration
Of them, or any of them, or any matter or thing relating
thereunto, which were in force at the time of making this
Act, shall be, remain, and continue in their full force and
effect, and be observed, and put in doe execution, according
to the tenors and purports of the same and every of them."

Thus far we hive a very plain story ; nor does it,
like the plot of a play, afterwards get entangled

for the purpose of a clever and happy develope-
ment. The House of Commons, who have often
done well, eamo to the following Resolution,
which ought to he recorded in every poor Clergy.
man's heart, although little known to them, be-
cause their education does not lead them directly
to that point, and because their occupation leaves
them no leisure, but barely to eat the bread they
hardly earn.
" Resolved itlily, That with a •iew of relieving the dis-
, tresses of the inferior Clergy, and of avoiding all unnecessary
addition to the burdens which a long and expensive war has
entailed on his Majesty's People. and n ith due regard to the
great increase of the Ecclesiastical Revenues which has token
place of late
,years, it appears to thi% House, that the first
fruits and tenths, by law appropriated to the augmentation
of the maintenance of the poor Clergy, ought to be made
more effectual to that purpose, in conformity with the true
intent and meaning of the above recited Acts of Pailiament."
That Resolution seems as if it had passed last
night in the Rouse, fur the apt application of
every ►word of it to the present hour. But inde-
pendent of the resistance which wi.s given to this

reasonable proposition in one House, the other we
know have something c6e to do than to think of
the means of relieving the poor clergy, without
adding to the people's burden... To tlo any thing
without adding to the people's distresses, is a diffi-
cult task, anti they have no time for any more
difficulties. The proposition, however, is a rea-
sonable one. Let us see what the ucxt Resolu-
tion is

Resoled Stilly, That a Committee be appointed to prepare
an Address to his Majesty, humbly praying that his Majesty
wou:J he graciously pleased to appoint Cumtnissionera under
the Great Seal, with power and authority as well to examine
and search for the true and just value of the said first fruits,
by all the ways and means that iiiey "can, as to compound and
agree for the same; and tlca hi- Majesty would be grad-
nasty pleased to command his 1. crd nigh Chancellor of Eng-
land to direct into every Diocese of Lngland and Wales,
Commissions in the King's name, under the Great Seal, to
such persons as his Majesty shall name and appoint, com-
manding and authorizing thesaid Commissioners to examine,
search and inquire, by all the ways and means that they
can, by their discretioas, of and for the true and just whole
and en ire yearly value of all Ecclesiaslical Dignities.
and Benefices, and with such deductions as are specified
and allowed in the Act of t 6 Ii all V c. 3. and none
other; to certify the same to the Chancellor and Barons
of his Majesty's Exchequer; in order that his Majesty, with
and by the advice of his Parliament, may direct the whole or
a part of the tenths payable therefrom, to be levied and ap-
plied to the relief of the inferior Clergy. and may take such
other steps therein, as to his Majesty and his tan Houses of
Parliament shall seem just, equitable, and expedient.
Now this is what my Lord HOLLAND wants ;
and how any man cats oppose co fair, so just, antY
so necessary a proposition, is a matter of asto.
nishment ! We are certainly getting worse than
our forefathers were—it is no longer a cry of the
Wotp, the Wor,r, but the %VOLE' is here!---
Well, but how is all this answered by his Grace of
CANTERBURY ? Oh, here is the Clause?-..here is
the pugilistic blow ! He answers with a clause of
an Act, and he reasons that a clause of an act is
law. No doubt of that ; but let us see how the
case stands. The following is the clause his Grace
produces against former law, and against reason
and humanity.
Clause from the Act of the 2d and 3d ANNE, e. 11, being
the last clause of the Act.
‘ YE. And whereas four bonds far four half-yearly pay-
ments of the First Fruits, as the same are rated, and also a
fifth bend for a further value or payment, in respect of the
said First Fruits, have been, required and taken from the
Clergy,to theirgreat and unnecessary burden and grievance."
For remedy thereat*. he it enacted and declared by the au-
thority aforesaid, That from and after the twenty-fifth. day
of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hun-
dred and four, one bond shall. in such case, he given or re-
quired far the four payments of the said First Fruits, which
said First Fruits, as well as the Tenths payable by the Cler-
gy, shall hereafter be answered and paid by them, according
to such ratrsand proportions only as the same have heretofore
been usually rated and paid : And, no such film bond already
Oven shall, front and after the said twenty-fifth day of March,
in the year um thousand seven hundred and four, be sued or
I recovered.
This Clause is not consistent with the meaning
and intention of the Act of which it does some-
Way happen to make a part. It is not consistent
with the intention of her Majesty, nor of her
Majesty's advisers, nor of the Parliament invited
by the Government (and wisely so invited) to give
the poor Clergy al( the Tenths and First Fruits.
nut a Clause steal into a Bill by it pious or

wicked fraud, vitiating the whule intention of the
Act, (hen such Clause is in law as well u reason
Tom, and of no EFFECT. " What say you to
that, Master DEOGIIFItay ?" And need we say
any more ? We will ask any reasonable man, if
we need ?—Yet two words more—let special
pleading, or what is worse; the pleading of the
words of a clause against the spirit of an Att,
and against justice and humanity, let that be con.
fined to the BAR. There it is no disgrace; fur it
is the man's calling mad bread.
