bill very inimical to personal liberty,
IS now on its progress through the Upper
House, to which may be added, Lord Cas-
tlereagh's defence bill, which is well caIcu-
lated to destroy the long boosted rights of

open the land side, can be so effectually
starved, as reported, or how a nation should
perish for want of -four, who are stated to
have beef, pork, fruit and vegetables in
such abundance, as to enable them to offer
plentiful supplies Of these necessaries to
