COPY-RIGHT.

Mr. J. SMITH presented a Petition from Messrs.
Lougmati, Rees, Ilarst, Orme, and Brown, who
c4rrted on a very great busitsets in London, as book-
sellers, respecting a Bill 'now before the House re-
garding Copy-Kiglits, and stating that the delivery
of the eleven copies, from the tiers the Act passed in
1814, had actually cost to them 30001., or nearly

so. That from the great burden of the delivery, they
bare declined the publication of some of some ex-
pensive works, and especially Baron Ilutisboles
Non-descript Plants of South ArneriLa ; that they
ere already obliged to leave another copy at the

one published by the London bookcellers. They

LEATHER DUTY REPEAL.
On the order of the day far the second reading of
the Leather Duty Repeal Bill,
Mr.C. G NT, jun. rase and observed, that the
Petitioners for the Repeal of the Leather Duty came
before the House under rather singular circumstances.
If the House looked at the situation of the leather
trade during the last century, they would see that
every other *elide had horn* additional burdens, ac-
cording to the state of public affairs, except the lea•
thee trade, up till 1812. All•.our staple commodi-
ties, and even the necessaries of life, were taxed ;
but this single trade was exempted. If they looked
at the diderence in the value of many, they would see{
that the proportions were now inferior. He denied
that taxes coold always be imposed in strict proper.
Botts, for it was not possible to make exact caleatis•
lions. But the ground he should lake was, that all
other trades, but this, had borne additional pressure.
Iu Jul), 1812, the is: was doubled, and the Peti-
tioners now wanted to be plaited in the same state
that the trade was in 100. years ego, which appeared
somewhat unreasonable.. It vies not proved that the
trade was iojered by thetas. Could not the tea be
thrown upon the consumer? Were it shown that
the tax had occasioned a constant depression of trade,
and that its repeal could alone. revive it, then he ad-
mitted a prima facia case would be made eat. But

The Prisoner vehemently called upon his Lordship

that there was not the slightest chance of her life

LOUTH SPECIAL ASSIZES.

[FROM TUE WEEKLY FREEMAN'S JOURNAL.)
TM Special Commission for the trial of several of
the persons concerned in the burning of Wildgoese-
lodge, has been silting for some days at Dundalk.
The provincial Papers, which arrived in the course
of the week, brought accounts of two convictions
and one acquittal ; and the Newry 7ekgrapfs, re-
ceived this morning, contain, the trial of a emu of
the name of ili`Grailough, who is described as a
very respectable looking person, possessed of copal-
derable property.
" When DA•Culloegh," says the Newry Paper,
" heard his awful sentence, he suddenly pleoged his
hand, in a hurried manner, into his cont.pocket.—
And cow the cry of a pistol! a pistol!' leas uttered
by many voices. Judge Fletcher, alarmed by ibis
exclamation, retreated precipitately from the Court.
The Lawyers lied pariptests. The jailer instantane-
ously seised the hand of the convict—the Police ga-
thered round him with- drawn swords—reiterated
cries of Seize him ! seize hina. a pistol /. a pistol !
a rescue! a rescue!' resounded from all quarters.—
M'Cullough, who is a strong man, made some re-
sistance; and his straggles kept up the interest of
the scene. At lest he was oterpowered, and the
jailer drew from his, pocket the object of all this

".

There can be no doubt of the Election of Sir F.

BURDETT And Sir SAMUEL RomiLLy for NVestmin.
ster, notwithstanding the extraordinary efforts of
the Government to defeat the popular party, and the
unexpected elevation which its Candidate has in
consequence Attained upon the Poll. Were the
whole extent of the arts, the exertions, the threats,
the desperate mAtceovres, and stratagems put in prac-
tice by the agents of the Court, to secure their ob-
ject on this occasion, known to the Public at large
as they are to individeals, no sotprice would be ex-
perienced at the partial success which has attended
these endeavours. But in spite of all the Circulars of
the Board of Green Cloth, the requisitions to Clerks,
the midnight canvassing', the threats rind orders to
tradesmen, or the bludgeons of Caleb Baldrcin's gang,
and the strange sort of justice which, when called
'open to check outrages of the most flagrant de.
scription, resolves to consider such offences, when
committed on person'. attached to the popular side,
nothing more than " electioneering squabbles ;" in
spite of all such conduct in favour of the Government
cause, we say the Friends of Popular Freedom,
and _the intrepid and disinterested Enemies of
Corruption, will ultimately triumph, and cover
their opponents with lasting shame. Ample use has
been made by the supporters of Despotism of the i
personal attack upon Sir MURRAY MAXWELL.—
The unjustifiable act •f an unknown individual, has
been converted into an electioneering manceuvre,
and power has been assumed by the professed pre-
servers of the peace, which, instead of securing pro-
tection to the freedom of voting, has been shown to
have a very different object in-view. Whilst we
deprecate, as we have done, the disgraceful in-
dulgence of private or political dislike, by
personal insult and acts of atrocity, and think it a
pitiful expedient to endeavour to torn a breach of the
peace to the advantage of a cause that pretends to be
so well supported, troth demands we should state
that the outrages against the public peace and personal
safety are far from being all on the side of those who
are stigmatized as the mob, and that whatever may be
the behaviour of some among the assembly thus de-
signeted, the conduct of a tang of persons yesterday,
injudiciously added to the hundreds of constables,
now displaying their authority towards the voters of
Sir F. BURDETT, did indeed strikingly evidence that
there was no want of the support of ruffians and un-
principled vagabonds on the aide of the Court as
well as the People. We speak from no reports in
this particular. We yesterday witnessed as daring a
breach of the peace as any yet specified, in a son.
goinary outrege,on the person of a respectable voter
for Sir F. BURDETT, whose sole offence appeared to'
be, that be had brought up 43 voters for the
same cause, and had given plumper. to the Ho.
'mumble Baronet. This man was knocked down

This led to some conversation on the impossibility
of conveying the requisition in !efficient time to

fixed for ten o'clock to-morrow (this day) at Brent.

EXTRAORDI VA Rl' CASE.

Abost three o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, a re-
spectable looking man, abuts, 45 years of age, went
into the shop of Al r.Jacnes Ripley, a barber, residing
in Portland-road, and waiting until he found the
barber alone, he took his neckerchief from his neck,
opened his shirt collar, and sat down on the chair as
if to be abased ; whilst the bather stood over him
with his razor in his hand ready to begin the opera.

handful of Bank notes, he thus addressed the barber :
—" See these notes, there is as much here as will
make you comfortable for life, to me they are use-
less ; you have a family to provide for, I have no
persost living to look to, or that cares for me; do not
be alarmed at what I am going to propose to you,
you run no danger, and will have nothing to account
tor; I am sweaty of life, and do not wish to commit
suicide, and if my body he buried in the cross.ruads.;
I do riot care; take your razor, be not afraid, and
whilst lam reading the Paper cot my threat. Do

to their Chairman to the single point of furnishing
salt to agriculture with additional facility, but it is
desirable that a Bill should be brought forward in the
ensuing Session ; and that in the mean time any relief
that can safely be given by official regulation should
be afforded; and that menus should be adopted to

Tam PRIVJTEERING SYSTEM.'

The Public are already aware that a class of corn.
mercial speculators, residing in Baltimore, hate beep
accused of purchasing commissions issued by Artigat,
and availing themselves of that cover to plunder Por-
tuguese vessels of every description, and in many in-
stances than enormous meld. The subject is likely
to undergo a strict investigation in Baltimore; we
have, therefore, considering the affair of some ins.
portance, retracted a letter from a New York Paper,
wherein the whole plan and operation, whether truly
or not, we are, of course, disable to State, are die.

TlH•sitE, TO THE EDITOR, DATE() SEPT. 20.
44 As I perceive that the system of privateeriag.,-
which our merchants have carried on fur some time
past, has been reprobated by you, i now comniuoi.
cate some of their proceedings for your information.
It seems that the Spanish property having been swept
from the ocean, their cupidity has been attracted by
the valuable Portuguese vessels and cargoes which ne. •
vigate between Portugal, the Brazils, and the E*st In-
dies. Bank commissions are procured from Artie.,
who occupies the banks of the river Plate, oppositeßue.
nosAyres ; under colour of wisich,vesselsarmed,equip•
pod, and owned in the United States, and more particu-
larly in this city,attack all thePortaggese and Spanish
vessels they fall in with, plunder them of the specie
which they find on board, and if the vessels have va.
laable cargoes, order some for St. Bartholomew's,
where it appears an arrangement of mutual conve-
nience has been made with the Governor ;others, f .e
small ports in the West Indies ; and some even for
the ports of the United States. Two privateers
which lately arrived at this place have carried on
their depredations to a most ruinous Went. One
of ahem, called La Fortune, formerly the Fourth of
of July, has captured from eight to' twelve Portu-
guese vessels, among which are the Rayuba dos An-
jos, front which he took out Bt.ooo dollars; a large
ship of 900 tons, called the Monte Alegre, loaded
, with a cargo valued at hstf.s.millson of dollars ; the
brigs Vasco da Gr.tna awl' Dan Joao Lesto, valued
et 100,000 dollars each, besides others of less value.
Another privateer, called I:irresistible, with left
. this place in January last, returned a few days

THE FLORIDAS.

It is almost certain (says the New l'Ork Gazette)
that Mr. fal A uTsstz,who arrived here in the brig Bon r-
donor. brings out a Treaty, from the Court of Ma-
drid, ceding the Floridan to the United States. The
fact is mentioned in a postscript of a letter from
France by the vessel in which Mr. M. arrived, and
he is mentioned as the bearer of ibis highly important
news.

Passengers lately from Buenos Ayres report, that
the Director of Paraguay, FRANCIA, has been put
down by the People, in consequence of a belief that
he had been gained over by the Portuguese. Some of
them also state, that his successor entered into a
friendly understanding and connection with General
A ItTIGAS against the Portuguese. They state that
'this fact was known, though net published, at Buenos
Ayres.—(Censor.)
The important MO of Commodore TAYLOR, men-
tioned in the Baltimore article under the head of
" The P►ivateering S) stem," in another column, was
argued on a point of law in the District Court of the
United States, New York, before Judge Van Nits&
Suits had been instituted against him by the Spanish
Consul, to recover the value of sundry captures made
by TAYLOR. The Court decided—

_
First.—That it had no jurisdiction over prize
cases as between Spain and her colonies ; or the co-
lonies and any other power at war, where the vessel
making the capture was not fitted out of the United
States. .

Secondly.—That where the vessel making the cap-
tore, was alleged to have been fitted out of the
United States, bot was cruising on the high seas, un-
der the commission and authority of one of the bel-
ligerents, the Court would not interfere, sonless the
captured property was brought withiu the jurisdiction
of the Court.

Thirdly, That the Court deemed the question •f
damages to rest entirely upon the question of prize or
no prize; that not hawing jurisdiction of the latter,
it could not have any of a matter necessarily grow•
ing out of, end depending upon it—and, therefore,
that it would not hold Commodore TAYLOR to bail
in the suit instituted against him for damages ; the
properly not having teen brought within the jurisdic-
tion of the Court.

Tuna/DAY. NOVEMBER. 5, 8{ 8.

American Papers to the Ilth ult. reached us this
morning.

Considerable irritation exists at Halifax in conic.
(pence of the order of the American Government re-
specting the trade to Nova Scotia. The interdiction
of British vessels from Nova Scotia to an entry into
the ports of the United States, commenced on the Ist
of October. This proceeding of the American Go-
vernment is considered at IfsWs: as excessively ill.
natured. Two reasons,it is observed, arreaviiipied :
111. That the act of opening the ports of Halifax and
St. John to American vessels is limited in its duration ;
and '2d. That it restricts the importations in them to
certain article.. Had the Act been pissed, say the
Halifax Papers, without the limitation and restriction
alluded to, " the American Cabinet wosid, we have
no doubt, discovered by Its selfish policy, some other
grounds equally plausible for the adoption of the
harsh and unfriendly measure." This is perfectly
true. The American Government would have been
at no loss to discover plausible reasons sufficient in
our own anti. Commercial and anti-American policy
to justify the retaliatory measure it has adopted.

The teopestoos weather has prevented the arrival
of the Foreign Mails. We have therefore no Foreign
news to-day.

Though Ministers, have declared, and their de-
claration has been re-echoed by the instruments of
their faction, that their Bill of Indemnity was in no
manner intended to bar any actions or proceedings
that might be commenced for legal redress by persons
who may consider themselves aggrieved by the acts
under the Suspension, the Reader may feel some in-
dignation, but, perhaps, little surprise, at reading
the concluding paragraph in the following abstract
of the Bill now before Parliament, for indemnifying
64 the persons who, since the Ist of January, 1817,
have acted in apprehending, imprisoning, or detaining ,
in custody persons suspected of High Treason or
treasonable practices, and in the suppression of
tumultuous and unlawful Assemblies." The Pream-
ble, like the speeches of the Ministers, and
the Report of the Secret Committee, builds upon the
old slang of " general insurrection, tumultuously,
unlawfully, disorderly, disloyal—peace and ter-
quality!". &c. &c. But here it is—" mark it, Cs.

peace and tranquillity of the country, and to counteract each
traitorous conspiracy, it has been deemed necessary, since the
Id day of January, 1817, from time to time to apprehend, com-
mit, imprison, and detain custody divers persons suspected of

of divers of such persons, and also to disperse the persons so to-.
