The want of seal and energy in the friends of
RATIONAL LIBERTY; the intemperance and miaow-
! duct of others, who have been actuated by dishonour-
, able and sinister motives; and the annual expenditure
lOf ONE HUNDRED mit.r.ions a year, have, no doubt,
. been great causes of the continuance and the increase
of oppression and corruption In the governors and
governed. But it is principally to an ignorance of
the Constitution, a criminal cupidity, elide cowardly
neutrality, that we must impute all our evils, and par.
ticularly the degraded state of the British Press. If
we are thus unjust to ourselves, how can it he expected
that we should be liberal to Ireland ? And if in our
conduct towards Ireland, there is much of Mindere,
there is certainly more of bad policy. If the Irish
cannot comprehend that a proud oligarchy excludes
from representation 7.801 es of the best part of Eng.
land's population, nod thence denied the exercise of
their rights and privileges, still would it be politic
for that oligarchy, as the only means of conciliatioa,
to grant them a stare of the spoils of the Constitu.
tiou, and thus make them partners in the profits and
!participators in the delusion of this part of the Em.
I pito.

EAS? INDIA COMPANY.

It might be supposed, following the ordlnety iouise
of reasoning, that, after so much of princlple bid
been mutually conceded by Government and the Eliot
India. Company, the Act by which the Charlet; of the
latter has been renewed,' whatever might be the opi.
nion respecting it of the community at large, would,
at least, have been thoroughly understood in all its
lights and heti-lags by the parties to the srteeping
compromise of so many conflicting interests as *as
thus affected.

But, alas ! how different has been the result of the
very first matter of importance which has occurred
under the new order of things!
Government and the Honourable Directors are at
this moment at actual strife, respecting what we
should have conceived to be the plainest • and easiest
to be understood of all the clauses of this, important
batremont

If England forgets the good stand principles by
which she arrived at a state of alinence and prosperi-
ty, and spurns them as the rattles of a puerile fancy,
abets would, however, be something of fairness in
liereks. ractilis tik.sitaaa lusa,blosaingsaa weiliwarrses
with Ireland, and we should not now have to lament
the realized fable, of the members being at war with
the belly,

By the 53d Geo. 111. cap. 155, w. SO, It is pro-,
virted, that all vacancies of the offices of Governbr
General, or of Governors of the Presidencies of
Fort St. George, Bombay, &c. shall bP filled up and'
supplied by the Court of Directors of the said United
Company; subject, nevertheless, to the approba)
tion of his Majesty, to be signified its writing under
his Royal sign manoal, countersigned—by
.the Presi-
dent of the Board of Commissioners for the Affairs'
of India.

The Resolutions of the Kilkenny Meeting, are
worthy of the proudest periods of opposition to the
odious tyranny of the Stymies, and are the best
comment opin the able, the eloquent, and dignified
speech of Mr. LIDWELL. They arraign the Duke of
RICRXONIVS Administration- is intolerant, bigoted,
and intemperate, in its general conduct towards be-
hind, and in the particular prosecution of the vir.

let Post, fur his generous devotion to the cause of
freedom and his country ;—the partialities of the
Beach, and insignificance of a vulgar Law Officer,
are held up to public view. We see, likewise,
something more than a barren English sympathy for
his situation in the subscription on his behalf.--
Generous liiberniAns! this is but a just tribute due
to his merits, and honourable to your importance,
your wealth, anti your numbers. This is discharging

Provided always, that this Is not o- affect the
right of the Directors, to remove, MA, or dismiss
any such Governor.general, at their will and plea-
sure.

The 81st Sec. adds, all other. vacancies tit India!
(with certain exceptions) not NI be supplied by the.
Directors without the approbatick of the Beard:
Such is the substande of ibis part of the Act, and
yet, in the very face of it, Ministers In periouily no
minated Mr. Wallace to the Cknarnment of Fort St.
George, in the room of 4ir George Barton: And
though this appointment is resisted by twenty otif of
twenty-four of the Directors, Ministers persist In Itt
contending foe the right of nomination'; er" Its other
words, assuming that their reedlamendition Is eit tin:l
perative on the DirectiOn as a Gunge &elite it on the
Dean and Chapter of a diaCese.
it InuA be confessed that this condo& Whet tetyi
reconcilable with the great printiple of the Act id
queition, which expressly states that the possession
of the British territories in India continues in the
East India Company—nor With the profession' of e
Government who ere so. very anxious to persuade'
the world, that they dre quite indifferent about pa-
treetop Of ail kinds, and that virtue and merit are
their only objects In the seledtiod of candidates, for
puldic situetions.
There may, perhaps, be other Instance* of a sin&
lat misunderstanding—but for the present we Akan
confine ourselves to lidding, that It ieut.-Gen:Anew:l
enom Bic has resigned the command In chief of Fort
St. George, and desires that his successor may be Im:!
mediately tionlinated.

your duty nobly and manfully; and had you not so
done, you would have been guilty of the foulest in-
gratitude to your defender; and injustice to your-
selvea, by a pusillanimous silence, which must have
rivetted the chains that tyranny has forged for you.
Here is no English timid neutrality, no criminal in,
giterence, no skulking into. the dark corners of per-
'final fear, orisiug from jealousy, or any other base
sostive,
I would hope that this example of Irish patriot-.
ha, spirit, and grotitude will trot be lost upon the
good people of England. By it the venal scribes
who dip •heir pens in the ink of corruption, and blot
the fair pap of Magna Charta with thestygiets sen.
