We sheald be sorry it wen imagiatd, that be•

cease we have net eicesraged the Meeting of yester-
day, we are Ins ardent in oar wishes for, sod en-
&vetoers to Aisle, a Radical Rums. We are set
to be frightened by a word, nor by a skk•aimse
neither. The honest Reformers of Fleece, (w►o
have dear) weeders on the score of liberty foe that
country,) gloried in t►e sick-asme sost•cslaffet and
Jacobins. Any Reform that does not go to the root
of the evil, will bat " much the spoke," net ►ill it.
What this country doss is that respect, it mast be
quick in doing. No cousultations with the Sove-
reigns of other States ought to be Mislaid es to the
wets, to which coecessiees shall be side loth@ people
of this cavalry for the injuries they have sestaleed in
their liberties and franchises. We know that theEm-
wore, Rings, and Nieces on as Costliest, are es
the tip-toe to see at what pilot we shall settle diva
is that regard. They might lo have nothiog to do le the
wetter, we knew best what assaidfoodagred with our
constitations. They may deal their weerishmest out
is smaller (pomades, end their 'objects may be se.
tisSed with the trilllig portion : our stomachs, mere
accustomed to Islam, are in no danger from replo.
lion. It has bees said, and well said, that liberty
to a Briton is seat and drink. Princes of themselves

cannot rein liberty: they must bass the aid of bad Mi.
nisters,whosre the tools with which they work : time
being sensible that they owe every thing to Royal fa•
veer, are reedy to support the power of the Crown,
though at the ',peace of justice sad oatlesal privi-
leges. Thus tyrannical Princes sad corrupt Mi-
nisters entangle themselves with each other, being
unwilling to part, escept forced to do so: for the
Master, knowing the servility, devotedness, and
tonality of his servants, end these, in their terns,
being let into the despotic or sm►ities, designs
of the former, they, in some degree, lie at the
mercy of each other. The earlier a divorce between
sod parties tekts place, after their mutual dodges
are suspected by the people. the more snore are the
persons of all of them. IllattY VII. always rated
by a faction, sod that by the lesser faction. To glee
fell scope to his t►rsnatal rapacity, he nomlasted
for his Ministers Emnom and Dunt.ar, two pro&
gate men, equally esabled by their knowledge in
the Iste to pervert the forms of justice to the oppres-
sion of the innocent, awl perfectly qsailliod to prey
upon the defencelrs people. With the view of be-
coming obsolete, COMMIS 11. established s Cabbie
Council, koowo by the same of the Cabal, equally
destiteto of Monogr and virtue; nay. they even
boasted of their ewe vices, which they took can to
have known as not olfensive to their Meter.—

Favour elweys proves sellicient to render Ministers
sesloes, bet impunity alone makes them audaciously
enterprising. They take care to obtain a promise
from their King or Prince to protect them against
these laws •hick they have violated, shasever
may have bees-ibe crimes they have committed.-.-
lIINBT VIII. granted to WOLsIT the follow-
ing pardon :—" Thai the King. out of his mere
motion and especial favour, did pardon MI and
8U manner of treason. misprision of treason. mar-
dere. felonies. and outrages whatsoever by the said
Water committed. or to be hereafter asmasitted."
