Sea —Aldine/It Mr. LOVELY. is no were, yet I
hope his ardeoer in the cause of fre►dow will meet
with kindred spirits to assert (in the Snerismax)
its WIWI. MSllkilld. _ _

The rimming Session of Parliament will be
guislied by the zeal sud talents of a few tried Patriots
of owl-milted courage, who will, I trust, be ibis to
remove that despair from the minds of many of my
kindred which is shoot to drive thew to foreign
climes, in pursuit of what they have a light ti et
home, viz. subsistence for proffered labour. State-
role most he strongly perverted when the indostrioas
or infesting. of its subjects cannot obtain the here
necessaries of life is exchange for their labour.
" They manage these things better io Franco,"
and 'tis hoped we shall not long be behind nor sties.
boors in so essential a part of Government.

Gist. Porteous. whose name became associated
with the famous commotious of Esliebergh le the
year 1736, hod been st that period an Officer in the
City Guard of the Northern Metropolis. That
City Guard oils an market Corps, attendant on and

ployed in the character of watehmen and constables.

of very irrascible temper as well as of other bad
qualities, and to have often employed these Guards
as instruments of sewerrantable wittily whenever
irritated by the populace in the course of his cloy.
