" ords, to the public veal or nar c,.nutrv, ina,
we come under AN obligation 70 suffer any re-
ON our own personal liberty, which
The pn''i'c good may require. But IN order 10
Justify this demand on the par; OF the public,
the Legislature must prove, that the sacrifice
re'ini,ru is propnrIionately conducive to the
puolic benefit. Otherwise, whatever the laws
substract from personal liberty is 50 much na-
iiiral freedom unnecessarily taken away. Ii
is So much pure COS; paid for no adequate re-
turn.
With regard to the, other proposed bill, To
allow The free emigration of our workmeu il
has our cordial concurrence. The law, as IL al
present stands Is both useless and mscliiey ous.
IL Is useless, because lis sole object is so pre-
vent the publication abroad of our mechanical
processes aud machinery, whereas it is notori-
Gus To all The would that nothing of this kind
eau be eoncealed or is concealed. Ia the pre-
sent Intercourse of nations and individuals
there ate no secrets Og this kind and, i'm the
present modes ut conveyance, and in the
chcapness aud abundance ot them, il is totally
tspp5ssible to prevent The emigration Of our
artisans Ia foreign parts. /, rs mschieyuus,
likewise, first, because il leads to fraud and
secondly, because il prevents the return of
these artisans, though not their departure.
rms law, therefore, ought unquestioDably to
he repealed, as Il is "A useless aud mischieyous
restriction upon natural liberty, and without
any possible good whatever.

SIR: In consequence of the many miscon-
ceptions that are abroad, with respect to the
share which have mad in the destruction of
Lord B,rons Memoirs, think it right to state
the leading facts of that transaction to the pub
| lie.
| Without entering into the respective claims
"f MIR. Murray and myself 10 the property in
| these Memoirs, Ia question which, now tina,
they are destroyed, can be but of little mo-
ment 10 any ope,) it is sufficient. to say, that
believing the manuscript still to be rhine, |
placed it at the disposal of Lord Byron's sister,
Mrs. Leigh, with the sole reservation OF a
protest against ITS tcioi destruction-at least
without previous prrusaI and consultation
among the parties. The majority of the per
suns present disagreed with this opinion and

any difference bei,ceen as. The maouscrp,
was accordingly torn and burned before our
Eyes; and immediately paidto Mr. Murray,
IN the presence of the gentlemen assembled
two thousand guneas, with interest, &C., being
the amount of what owed him upon the
security of my bond, and for which I nov
stand indebted 10 my publishers, hlessrs.

Since then, the family of Lord Byron have,
in 1t manner highly honorable to themselves,
proposed an arraOgcment,b by which the sum thus
paid 10 Mr.. Murray might be reimbursed me:
but, from feelings aud considerations which il
is unnecessary here 10 explain, have respect
fully, but peremptorily declined their Offer
