cation of the Bill to tie weeks after the commencement of

WEDNICSDAT, .APRIL 4, iSiOe

Tanta was an arrival of Dutch papers last
night to the 28th ultimo. The columns "of these
Journals are almost exclusively devoted to des.
criptions of the Journies of the &onion from
Paris, and the young Estrous from Vienna to
Comptigne—the magnificence of her dresses—
the extent of the preparations for the entree into
Paris—and the anxiety of the frivolous inhabi.
tants of that capital oti this approaching epedasle
...to view which the narrowest windows in the
Netd,of the processioss kayo bee. bought ap at
end II Louis d'ors 0261—and all to behold' what ?
—the nuptial procession of a near relative of
that very Queen, who by the same eyes was
viewed with savage joy, on her passage, in a ,
common tumbril, to the guillotine; and that, too,
with the concurrence and cooperation of , the rti-
avant Sans-culolte. who now conducts to the
altar this niece of Meats AsvousErral ! !
The :fickleness of public opinion, in France,
may be justly said to rival even that of the blind
Goddess !
Tux arrival of the Greyhound cutter 'at Fal-
mouth, from Gibraltar, which she left on the
22d nit. will probably bring some intelligence re.
specting Centa—that place certainly was not in our
possession on the 2d of .March, the latest date of
the litters by the pieceding arrivals.
A Deputation had at that time been sent by the
Spanish garrison to Gower .or CAMPIIRLL, offering
to put Ceuta into oar possession on the very cheap
terms of paying and feeding the Spanish garrison
then in the fortress. This offer was, however,
from some unseasonable and absurd delicacy, de.
clined, as fearing that it might offend the Junta.
Whether the redoubtable Mr. FRICE, who was
at (Mix, was the organ on this occasion, is not
known—but with our recollection of the treatment
of Sir IL Nona* isac.this -sok Litiploonttivatteit,'
the delicacy displayed in declining the psuasion
of Ceuta: might seem somewhat fastidious.
. The cooduette, the French party, which toot
possession of St. Rogge,: ii represeuted.lo have
been peculiarly atrocious ;, but the country
.their rear having risen, they are
.stated to have
been cut off to a man.

sale ; and the French sailors, who eo.operated
with the army on the - Danube, are now •en
their march air Spain. The general opinion
is, that this corps is destiued to co-operate
in the attempt to reduce Cadiz. The fortification.,
and uatural situation of.the place are such, that'
it is believed to be capable of making a very long
resistance—but the fund and water for 160,000
individuals must form an almost insurmountable
obstacle to a permanent possession of the place
in the face of the enemy.

Tia Constitutional Letter in the lad page of
this Paper will be foand highly interesting at the
present moment, as connected with the important
question about to he discussed in the House of
Commons, on the subject of Sir FRANCIS Bea.
DCTT'S Aadress to his Constituents.

The dispatching if thii India fleet, which was
expected isl take place yesterday aftetnoon, is
postponed indefinitely. This extraordinary delay
is ascribed to various causes. •
The German foot troops, now •at Porchester,

Barracks, in the Isla of Wight.
Yesterday a Court of Aldermen was held at
Guildhall, to take into consideration the claims of
a great body. of Coal Porters einployod • on the

To thi EDITOR or THE STATESMAN.

Silt, Enfield, April?, 1810.
The adjournment of the discuvsim on the notice of Mr.
LLTIIIBRIDGE, respecting Sir Fruncis BORDITT'S Letter
to his ConstiineMs, affords us hopes- of ts tieetildn IroOthi'of
the-great question involved. As the question:* of high im-
portance to every Englishman. in as much as his liberty
ought not to depend un the discretion, or the temper, or
even of the judgment, or the integrity; of any individual, how
high wiever his station; nor of any set of his fellow-Ahjects
whatever, indrpendent of some known and recognised taw,
with your leave, Sir, 1 thall °O'er slew observations op some

parts of the case.
As the Prime Minister, Mr. Pe RCEV AV, nppedra to have
gone more fully into the qaestion than any other gentleman
on the same side, and was long a practising laWyer, I incline
to imagine, that in what he has already said, we, have the
strergth of what can be said agaiitt Sir FRANCIS.
M lien we find Mr. Pencav AL criticising, paragraph by
paragraph, all (hat he considers as improper in the publica-
tion of Sir FRANCIS, we naturally look for his refutation of
the baronet's Loa; for on that must turn the fitness, or unfit-
ness„of Ins complaint against the House of Conitiom," for
having, as he thinks, acted illegally aid Mattstifiably-tossards
Mr. JONES.
Notwithstanding all that Mr. IPaneryat, insinuated re-
Ipecting the Baronet's manner of speakiug, )et I conceive it
t I Ise very clear, that, if his needier be sound, his manner, al-
though not pl,asing to tbe;party complained of and censured,
will not be found legally reprehensible.
On one of the expressions selected by Mr. PESCEV AL, RI
particularly offensive, namely, that in which Sir Fe Nen
alludes to " the means by which the Home is collected tit-
getlser ;" another Honourable Memlier, Mr. BRAND,
allud-
ing to what was matter of notoriety; considers RS peculiarly
temperate and forbearing. But to confine myself at proem
to the criticisms of Mr. PeRCEVAL, who was MOO& '0111•
serve you, for an immediate decision, I do unt, on again
reading the report of his speech, find that he had any succela
in his attempt at refuting the reasoning, or overturning the
conclusion, of the Baronet, namely, that the House of Com-
mons had violated the law, and invaded the liberties of the

to no more than this, that like imprisonments had, in former
instances, been inflicted; whereas the soundness, or the on-
souadness, of thost very acts, as well as the repetition in
Jost its's case, Was the matter brought in question by Sir
faANCIS BURDETT, who thereupon appealed to all that is
venerable in our law, with a view to putting an cud to the
practice.
Here, however, Mr. PERCIIVAL, a lawyer by profes-
sion, and of long practice in the Courts, does not venture to
&Nile with the Baronet; but, taking "the disputed right of
the House rot granted, treats the very denial of that right as
criminal, and ice reference to. that imputed criminality, cries
Libel! libel! libel! Nor does he fail to insinuate, or rather
to charge upon the Baronet, something very terrible, al he
seems to think it; about " a roll by the llonourable Baronet
" upon the people to resist the authority of Parliameot."—
This surely must be the language of inadvertency in the
Learned Gentleman; for it is Nor " the authority of Par-

a good deal upon the Baronet's doctrine of resistance, let us
bestow a little of our anemia° upon it.
I am well aware of the violent inflammation ever excited,
by the very sound of the word resistance; on the 'centrism
