vain for hint to bring forth trick or legal quibble. If :
the rights of the subject, and the common law of the '
land are not guaranteed by the practice of the Loans
all purchases, contracts, and commerce must fall to*
ground, and Magna Charts become a dtad letter. Wt
find a gentleman purchase a horse, an estate, a bold,'
a lease, an appointment, a commission in the army,*
cording to the law laid down for the purchase of seek !;
things. Row would law or equity interpose, if *1
indge said, you shall give back that horse, the i
estate, that bond, that lease, that appointment,*
that commission ? Pray, would not the Lawyw
recommend their onset to appeal for redress te
great Council of the nation, who are in duty bed
stand forth in defence of those laws which 'moan
equal share of liberty and sale of property. We
entreat our readers' forgiveness for excepting the-
of seats in a certain Assembly, which is as no
as the sun at noon-day, although a great law &mho
declared in that House, that could our ancestors h '
of such infamy, they would stand up in their coS
with surprise and abomination at the perfidy of
act. In the actual position of a purchaser, as it sta
st NI regard to Sir ItonuaT Wixsom, he bought hi c"
way up, and by a stroke of a pen he is deprived d
more than 6,000/., according to the present price of I
Lieutenant-Colonelcy of Cavalry ; and that without ;
hint or inuendo fromthe quarters where the celebrated
Maas. ARKS CLARKE once cut so conspienons a figure..
If Sir Ron Err WILPON'S political irinciples did**
accord with those who would approve of the slangli et•
ing his 11l AJKarr's subjects at the funeral of his wife--
if Sir Roueur WILSON attempted to stop the effusion
of human blood, or a sympathy in the suffer/ail 4
the Royal Martyr stimulated him to pay a last tribute
of respect to the remains of persecuted greatn.s., is be
to be deprived of his property at the whim of aquas
or set of men ? It is too gross a perversion of justice ,
and of right. Let those who revel in the earnings of

then they will spew to the country there is some dill*•
once between British right and Turkish despotism...
They will ;hew, that it is not their intention to plate
1 an army of English freemen under the lash of Reno'
despotism. That the soldier who has so often reward
his life in defence of the people and of the Minion

Spanish papers have arrived to the 25th wk. Tlei
