As lioglishrajbe ply allerted with sorrow, and alarmed
by the gross ay/ wished violation of our rights and liberties,
as manifested in the imprisiousteut of yourself and Mr. J. G.
Jones, fur alleged Litill,4 we cannot refraiu from expre--sing
to you our sentiments upon your virtuous and it:tea:tippled pa.
triune conduct iu Parliaineut, and the opposite conduct of
our domestic I:ninies, the llivrouAti-niongeriog
who have, fur a limg time, by their veual iutinence,

At this moment, su critical fur our liberties, when the vital
spark of our menom is attempted to be extiuguished, such P.
triots are put to the test ; and are compelled, by your fires
and virtuous conduct, either to dispose themselves to follow
yourcoostitittitioal example, or throw off the mask. nod ap.

by reason for our protection, are now used ens a plea to co-

surprising cupstancy to persevere in, for your Country's
good, during a period of upwards of fifteen years;
and the small Minot ities that have Usually divided

nothing but the parity of your motives, and the conscious
rectitude of your own Dean, could have supported and borne
you through so many diliculties. Maturely reflecting upois

lively interest we fed iu whatever relates to your
health. liberty, mid happiness. Wt hope that you will twig

His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK gave a
grand dinner, yesterday, at his hone in the Stable
Yards St. James's Palace, to several persons of
distinction.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cs.anitets, we
are happy to say, is considerably better.

The PcnstAN Aat BissAnon constantly takes his
evening's promenade, when the weather is fine,
on the lawn Of Portman.square, where he is at.
tended by all the Ladies of rank and fashion re.
maining in town. On Saturday evening there were
nut less. than ten or twelve hundred well.dressed
females on the lawn, admiring the dignity of his
movements: his Excellency paid particular attn.
lion to malty of them in their turns (particularly
to the young), which, no doubt, were envied the
notice of this gallant stranger by the aged dames.
Towards the close of the evening he,wat accom.
panied by thrift lovely children on one side, and
four beautiful women on the other, with. whom
he appeared highly delighted, and well he might
be with the latter, for it is ten to one that four
such Bytes can be found ou the parterre of hit
Excellency's Seraglio.

We perceive by the Advertisement in nor first
page, that Mr- Wino, of the Theatre Royal Co.
vent-gardeti, takes his Benefit To-ntorrOw Evening.
Ho has judiciously chosen the Beggar's Opera,

Theatre; of course there can be iw doubt of a
46 bumper," .which we heartily wish him, sad
which certainly his merits demand.
