It is painful to watch the inroads Of power upon
the rights and franchises of the people. Power
may therefore well be suspected, and even ab-
horred. The conduct of the House of Peers on a
late occasion, in passing one of the detestable five
Bills, urges the mention of a fact in our history,
via.—That the power of creating Peers without the
assent of Parliament, is contrary to the ancient laws
of the realm. This power was first usurped by
HENRY 111., and Lord BLAUCHAMP was the flrbt
who took his place in Parliament by virtue of a
Letter Patent.

CHARLES I. having, made the power of the Star
Chamber arbitrary, he ordered all civil causes be-
tween him and his subjects to be brought before
that Court ; a bloody tribunal, where right and
courage were useless—where llribery and Villainy
were seated on the Bench, holding the Balance of
Justice—where Resentment and Ferocity quenched
their thirst in the blood of innocent victims.

A few respectable inhabitants of the Parish of
St. Clement Danes, paid a respectful visit to Mr.
HORUOLSE, at his anti-sincchro place, which lies
lately been granted to him by order of some of the
Members of the House of Commons. The inha-
bitants of St. Clement Danes have to inform the
public that they found Mr. lloaitoraw. in an ex-
cellent room. quite pleasant (for Newgatel, mid
in good spirits, and apparently quite conscious that
he had not committed ore single act that was con-
trary to the dilly of an itpriglit Englishman: that
he had HO recantation to older to the people, and
most assuredly none to an usurped power.

The Duke of Rosie, upon presenting himself
yesterday to clear himself from contumacy, was
confined in the military prison of Abbaye.—He was
condemned to death three vows ago for contumacy
by the council of war of the first military division.
This sentence will now doubtless be revised by the
council of the same division.—(Jonniai de Paris.)
On the night of the 47th of November, a tri-
coloured flag was found attached to the window of
the Bienr Laos, Cag maker, at Lodere. The au-
thor of this offence has not yet beau discovered,
but stapicion has fallen upon a woman who is
known to hear enmity to laces, and who, it is
supposed, wished by this means to draw him into
an unfavourable situation. The following evening
a skull was exhibited in the same place, with the
inscription of " Guerre a more' allied to it.

nottoctux, Dxe. 16.—The theatre of La Gaits
was almost totally destroyed by Are on yesterday
evening. Fortunately tio lives were lost. The
extent of the damage is not yet ascertained. A
similar accident occurred 20 years ago at the same
place.—(Paris paper.)
A work entitled " France as it is, not Lady Mor-
gan's France," has lately been published, and ex-
cited great attention in the literary world. The
author of this work bas already been before the
public, and if we were to judge of the present, by

SIR FR.I.VCIS DVRDETT AND MR. CODBEIT.

The following is Cobbett't' account of the failure
of the tiegociation between his friends and Sir
Francis Burdett, to procure a reconciliation be-
tween them
" When I came to London, a gentleman from the
country, in a day or two after the dinner at the Ctown
and Anchor, asked me whether there were no means of
producing a reconciliation b.-tweets Sir Francis Burdett
and me. After some conversation upon the subject, I
gave this gentleman his commission, in the following
words
" Deeativr 4, 1819.
" I am ready to tender my hand to sir Francis Bur_
deft, and to tender my wir d,. heart and anitsdlitto be ex.
ertml, in co-operation nith him, fur the purpose of ea.
deavouring to rescue our country from the fangs of its
oppressors. I net read} to bury all private considera-
tions in oblivion. I have sees, all thron:ll the rountry,
progfs of a most ardent desire, that an tonne should take
place ; and, I am resolved, that no private feelings of
mine, shall obstruct that union."

•. Wm. Cimustrir."

At the same time that I delivered this paper, I told
the gentleman who was the bearer of it, what I had told
all my English friends at New York, and what I had
told to particular friends at Liverpool, that I never would
be the wader-worker of Sir F. Burdett again, and, that, I
would have nothing to do with him any more than with
any other common per.on ; that I never would consult
with him; anti, in short, that I would have nothing iu the
shape of co-operation with him, rtrept as one of a public
meeting, perhaps, leaks., As trowld insaiediatcly. sad out

this, I told the gentlemen who was the bearer of the
paper, that lie had my fall liberty to state to any person
whatever, either in eon rrrrr tion or in print. This gen-
tleman expressed his wish that these terms might be
tommunitatell to Sir Francis by myself, to which I bad
no objection; and I told him I should give the terms in
writing. with permission to their bring published as
soon as Sir Francis chose, and with a declaration, on
my part, that I should stake them known to the public
without loss of time.

Ou the 9th of December. I received the following
note from the geutiensan, who had beta the bearer of the
paper above hunted :
" Duce Sta.—Freon a conversation I have just had
with Sir Francis Burdett. I ant persuaded the enclosed
cannot be rendered availahle. This ceases me regret;
bat I have thought it best to return it to you with my
asauraswe that it has not here used or sees."

price; until the total exhaustion of his slender store has
acquired him the privilege of Ming at least on a level
with the lowest of his fellow-safferers; and spared addi-
tional torments so loager lucrative to their inflictors.
Even day a capital fertile in crimes pours new of-
fenders'into this dread receptacle; and its high walls and
I deep recesses resented every instant with imprecations
and curses, uttered in all the various idioms of the Ot-
toman empire. Deep moans and dismal yells leave not
its dismal echoes a moment's repose. From nournisle
until night, and from night until morning, the ear as
stunned with the clang of chains, which the galley-
' slaves drag about while confined in their cells, and which
they still first about when toiling at their tails. Linked
together two and two fot life, should they sink un.:er
their sufferings, they still continue thus linked after the
j death it either; and the man doomed to live on, dr.,gs
after him the corpse of his dead couipauion. In no lA.-
reetion can the eye escape the spectacle of ate:scions p•s-
nishments, and of indescribable agonies. Here, perlia;
you see a wretch whose stiffened 'limbs refuse their
lice, stop soddenly short in the midst of his labour, and.
as if already impassable, defy the stripes that lay open
his flesh, and wait in total immobility the last nierc:lal
blow that is to end his misery ; while. there, you rior
his companion foaming with rage and madness, tent
against his own person his desperate bends, tear la's
slotted hair, teed his bleeding bosom, and dub to pices
j hi. bead against the walls of his dungeon.
' A long unpunished pirate, a liberated galley•slay.,
Aclamet•reis by name, was the fiend of bell who, be
ingenuity in contriving new owners, and his infi•ri. t'
delight in beholding new suffering, had deserved to i -
some the chief inspector of this place, anal the chief it, -
mister of its terrors. His joys were reat, but they were
not yet complete. Only permitted thus far to exert i•e
his craft on mortals, he still was obliged to calculate
' what degree of agony the human frame could Mai, at 1
to proportion thopein he inflicted to the powers of suf..
' feting which man possessed, lest, by dispatching his vie-
tints too soon, he should defeat his own aim. Ile wits
rot yet received among his brother daemons, in tine
blissfal abodes were torments do not kill, and where tI e
isoffirser's pangs might be iocreased in an infinite ratio.
Wilds truth the very hour of my arrival had afforded
' bias a sorely lamented proof! An Armenian cubic,,
suspected of withholding front the Sultan—sole heir 1,.
dl his effscers—the deposit of a deceased Pasha, bail
, just been delivered over into Achoset's bawls; and many
were the days of bliss to which the executioner looked
forward in ilie diligent performanee of his office. On
the very first application of the rack, out of shear albs
lice, the Scruff expired !
Two days later, the whole of Achmet's prospects of
sublunaryhappiness were near coming to a close. Some
wretches, driven by his cruelty to a state of madness,
had sworn his destruction. Their bands, tied behind
their back, could be of no use to them in effecting their
purpose. They determined to crush him with their bo-
dies. All at the same instant fell with tbele wish
weight upon the executioner, or upon their sirs essapa-
sioss already pressing to the ground the prostrate mon-
ster, in hopes of burying his corpse under a living tu-
mulus. But Achmet's good star prevailed :—ere yet his
suffocation was completed soldiers rescued the 'miscreant.
He recovered, to wreak on his disappointed enemies his
fiercest vengeance. Their minishosent was dreadful.
Sanguinary but not cruel, prose to shed blood in aeries
yet shuddering at tenure. l was horror-strork at the
scene, and the yells of the victims still ring in my ears.
The horrors of this scene are dreadfully aggra-
vated by the introduction of the plague, which is
thus described :
