e,—When nor brethren in North America op.
posed the oppressive measures attempred to be prac-
ticed upon them, by the orders of the then Ministers
of this country, it was little calculsted •hat might
be the stupendous results, from the soldiers firing
open the townsmen of Baton ; bet the blood spilt
that day, raised • feeling ise the breasts of the de.
scetidenis of Englishmen, whose foietathers had left
the tombs of their ancestors to dwell in the uncelti.
sated forests of North Americo, to avoid the tram.'
mils of slavery, a feeling *hick vibrated is so Strong
and general a manner as not to be repressed. The
brave and injured Americans flee to arms from one
extremity of the reentry to the other. The happy
termination for suffering freedom was received with
joy by all civiliied men. Whci could have jodg.rl
that the indecent anti oppressive conduct of • brutal
tam-gatherer, should bare roused socli so asiembly
us that led to the field by the injured but breve %VAT
TYLER, which asventhly had nearly destroyed the
Imhof's of the:, opplessi.m; hut the melancholy fate

dissroyed by this rode but oppressed assembly.
When • piola ass demanded (which amounted to
ten.pence) by a Genoese tas-gstherer, and the goods
of a Corsican old woman seized for that sem, it was
; littlerjedged that the foreign oppressor should bedsit.,
from the island from so trilling a ciecomstsoce.

Who could hare thought that such dreadful melts
should arise from the Governer of the Beadle, DC-
LALITIT, ordering lhe soldiers to fire upon the no-
erased citizens; could it have been cooterplated that
the Government would bare been overwrite& the
King hroeght to the scaffold, and millions of lives
sacrificed ?
The massacre of Glance shows the danger of a
Standing Atinv in a Gee State; fur no doubt the creel
and enjest orders of Kiog WILLIAM for this bloody
business led to the Rebellion of the years fifteen sad
forty-five.
The sheeting young ALLEN, in St. Goorp'ea
fields, was a most unjustifiable and creel ac ; and
although the soldiers were brought le trial fir the
offence, no punishment followed.
The melancholy but just fate of Capt. Potytus,
of Edinburgh, arilettug the soldiers to fire or • t the
people, is a strung pouf of the danger to a fts.
Slate from the frequent calling upon military, instead
of the constitutional ciail power.
