to them in the obnoxious fpeeches. Your
political creed is there pretty faithfully copied.
The only injury done you is, that your con-
ceptions are better arranged, and better ex-
preled. At any rate, if particular member
thinks that he is mifrepreiented, or rendered
obnoxious to bis confituents, why does he
not commence an action at law ! A jury will
give him ample damages.
But, though your warrant had been unex-
cep,ionable, in thefe three points, yet the
conclufion would have made it absolutely IL
legal and abominable. For it does not order
the priioner to be fafely kept till he be dill
charged by due courfc oflaw, but ,ill it ihalI
plesfe the Houfe to difmiE him. What can
be more fubverGve of our contribution, than
iuch an unlimited, fuch an arbitrary power I
1t is, equally dangerous in the hands OF
fmall body of men, and in the hands OF
Jingle perfon. It's in vain that we have re-
lcued lfelves from the arm ofthe fovereign,
if we are TO be left to the diicretloa of the
commons. In my mind, one tyrant is pre-
fefabe to five hundred.

The Jews Of Alface have offered the
French King, fifty millions Of livres, for leave
to fettle in Paris, to enjoy the privileges OF

Charles Fox, we hear has been promiied
the firft vacancy at the Treafury Board:
It affirmed on good authority, that France
in the laf eight years, has expended twenty
million Eerling, in repairing, increailng' &C.

We hear the committee of the Livery late

learch into the city records, as well as into

We.learn that the Marquis &c Bully, who
iii faid has been nominated 60 replace NJ. dc

and was brought from the Indies, where ne
was Governor for France, to Portimouth, IN
the late war he is fuppofed TO be the rich

of this embaify, that he intends to defray the
expence of it himfelf. His extenilve know
ledge in EAT. India affairs, and the facility
with which every body traficks in the public
funds, proves that the views of the Duke d
AiguillOn, by making choice of iuch an am

and advantage ofhis Mater.
1t is a lhame, that the arbitrary fcheme OF
