and to request their corporation in such
measures as may be best calculated to pre-

From the London Courier Of Oct. 10.


The information received from different
parts of the Kingdom, Of the progress Of
sedition, becomes, as might have beer
expected of more and more Importance.
The Radicals, rejoicing in the impulse
given TO their cause by the few foolish
Wings whom they have deluded, no longer
conceal their detestable projects, but speak
openly, and without disguise, of "the
Revolution already begna."
Such is the impression produced on the
minds OF good and loyal men, where the
spirit Of instruction against the constitu-
ton chiefly prevails, that some of them
are proceeding with all the vigor in their
power, as individuals, to protect each
other against the danger they apprehend.
When bad men conspire good men
must associate This was the awful
warning of BURKE. But what can indi.
vidual efforts do against the open violence
OF an armed populace. intent on the de-
strHction of property and the subversion
oil all that restraints their RIGHTEOUSNESS I?
Effectual protection can. at the present
moment, proceed only from those 10 whom
the constitution has placed the power Of
the state: aud we should tremble for the
tate of this envied land, il we saw any
want Of vigilance or courage in the gov
ernment.
The Monarchy of France was surren-
dered to an infuriated mob, boarding the
King upon bis throne, by the timidity and
laxity of his Ministers. An early effort
on the part Of that Government had stop
ped those torrents Of blood which after
wards swept away both the throne and
the altar.
We congratulate our peaceful fellow
countrymen, that our Government is fully
alive TO the danger which threatens us.
Their determination TO assemble the lesis-
iature was decisive indication of their
sense OF the present awful times, and We
have no doubt their precautionary meas
ures. until Parliament shall have met. will
continue to keep pace with the ferocious
activity Of our modern Catalines.

which is no other than dream Of rapacity
and madness-and unhappily such is their
ignorance, mental inbecility, and over.
