'80RQB OPABfei GEORGE RA WSON, A fact has recently been disclosed, which illustrates yet more strongly mercenary attachment to place, and shows in what degree of estimation they ate' held by their Royal Master. It is stated by. the Durham Chronicle, on' the authority, we presume, of Mr. Lambton, as an unquestionable fact, that the Government was twice offered to the leader of the Whig party Giiey), during the' late proceedings against the Queen, on the sole condition that he would carry on the pending prosecution. Loud Ghey, like.an honest man, spurned the proposal, and thereby cast the severest censure on the opposite conduct of Ministers; but in what a predicament were these Ministers placed by the offer? After they had consented to forfeit their characters, and to embark in that sea of filth to gain the harbour of power and emolument, to be so despised by their' Master, while in mid course, that he offered to turn them off! When they were reluctantly performing a disreputable part for the sake of office, to see that office tendered to another! Important Trial A.

trial of greatImportance to the cause of religious liberty, took place on July 33d, at the Quarter Sessions, held at the New Bailey Couvt-House; Manchester. Mr. Samuel Waller, a gentleman of respectable character in and a preacher in connection with, the new sect called Primitive Methodists, was indicted for causing nuisance, obiiruction, by preaching on the King's, highway, hear to Ashton-unuef-Lihe, in Lancashire. Mr. Starkey, having stated the case for, the prosecu- tion; the Chairhian (the Roy, Mr.

Hay?) intinsated that theconductof the defendant had certainly been illegal. The fact that the defendant had preached in the highway to about200 persons was thenproved, MrvCourtenay, for the defendant, jrnade.amost 'animated arid-impressive speech, in. the course of which, he animadverted on the rash and nremature opinion' which had been expressed by the Chairman. He alluded to tbe manner in which the Coronation bad been celebrated a day or two before, and masted, that if if were lawful and proper that the streets of Manchester should be entirely for several hour's, by. a procession in honour of the King, with the Magistrate themselves at its head, it ought not to be considered as a nuisance and an illegal obstruction, for ltiO or 200 persons to meet in the highway, in honour of their Creator.

He referred also to several parts of the New Testament; from which it was evident that our Saviour and his Apostles had preached under exactly the same circumstances as the defendant. The-Jury, after having retired an hour, returned with a special verdict Gai of an oMruclioK only. The Chairman then intimated, that as the prosecution had been commenced for the purpose of preventing the practice of preaching in the highway, the matter might be accommodated by a promise of not offending in that manner in future. Mr. Courtenay said the defendant was entirely in tbe-hands of the Court, and was willing to with patience, whatever punishment might be inflicted upon him; but what he had done had proceeded from a sense duty to God, and his conscience would not 1 permit him to make any concessions for the past, or promises for the future.

He was sentenced to be imprisoned for three months. general Trade of the West of Scotland is goingfavourablyon. The Cotton mills are brisker just now than. they have been for a considerable time.

Wonderful Undertaking. Captain Henderson started on Wednesday morning at day-break from Teignham, Herts, for a stake of 200 guineas, to ride four horses 64 miles in four hours, over 12 measured miles of ground, part of which was turf. The Captain is an intrepid steeple chase rider, and although this match is inferior to that performed by Milton, the horse dealer, in 1810, the odds were 6 and 7 to 4 against him.

The match was decided as lost by the referee's watch by two minutes. The rider would have won, but from, the time lost in mounting the third' horse, which was not very quiet, though the fastest of the three when off. The Captain seemed more mortified than fatigued at losing the match. Fairs in this County, in August.

Wc refer our readers to. the report of the Committee for-gratifying information on the.subjeet ot the extension of our Foreign Trade, which'; during the last session, engaged the most assiduous attention ot Committees of both Houscsof the Legislature. Amongst other measures likely to result from the inquiries or these Committees, an Act has passed to allow any ot his. Majesty's subjects to carry on trade and Warnc, directly and circuitously, between any ports within the limits of the East India Company's Chatter (except the dominions of the Emperor of China,) and any port or ports beyond the limits of the said belonging to any state or country in amity with his Majesty." Thus a most important extension ij obtained to our Free Trade to the East Indies, and by the establishment of free ports in the Indian Seas, great advantages, from which the subjects of this country have hitherto been excluded, are thrown open to the enterprise and capital of British merchants. It will be in the recollection of many of our readers; that the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce presented a Memorial to the Lords of the Treasury, and Petitions to the Legislature, for the revisal of the Laws restrict-ing our Foreign Commerce and it is creditable to tlie persevering exertions of the Birmingham Chamber to owing to their petitions, and to those of similar commercial bodies in other large towns, that the Committees of Parliament were appointed, whose enlightened inquiries are likely to prove so beneficial' to the trade and commerce of the United Kingdom.

Birmingham Gazette. Lord and Lady Grantham have left town for their seat in the Isle of Wight, for the season. It is well known that several discussions have taken place in the Cabinet, on the recommendation of Parliament for a reduction of the public expenditure; and there have been many poor clerks discharged in consequence of that recommendation. The Earl of Liverpool is understood to have protested loudly against this cheese-paring system, and to have pointed out a more dignified course; viz. as great a reduction in the higher departments as might be consistent with the necessary splendour and influence of the Government of such a state as Great Britain.

The Noble Earl is said to be greatly, and we are sure justly, disconcerted, that there should be no reduction in the higher offices, whilst positive distress has been brought upon thousands by the dismissal of persons who enjoyed only small salaries. True Briton. We understand that a reduction in the army is now settled, and will amount to about thirteen thousand men, (notwithstanding Ministers opposed every motion for reduction this Session) and we believe it has now received the King's approbation. We have not yet, heard what that of the Navy is to be, but we presume considerable, as well as the reductions in the ordnance; some of the latter have already been proceeded on. Morning Chronicle.

There is reason to believe that his Majesty will not be able to carry into effect his intention to visit Scotland this Summer. The season will be too far advanced, on his return from Ireland, for him to visit either Scotland or Hanover, and the gratification he anticipated from both these journies, must be deferred to another year. Sun. Her Majesty, we understand, (says the Times) persists in her intention of visuing Scotland, but will decline taking the manufacturing districts in her route. She means to go to Edinburgh, and from thence to see a little of the Highlands; in short, to make rapidly what is called the tour of Scotland, and by the most ordinary route.

The King's voyage to Ireland will display a highly diversified aquatic procession. An immense number of vessels of every description belonging to private persons, noblemen and gentlemen, will follow in the train of the Royal squadron. French Institute. The prize proposed this year by the Academic lioyale des Sciences, in the class of Physics, is to determine, by means of accurate experiments, what are the causes of animal warmth, whether chemical or physical? The Academy expressly requires that the quantity of caloric emitted in a given time by a healthy animal and the quantity of caloric produced by its respiration be ascertained with the Utmost exactitude also that this caloric be compared with thatproduced by the combustion of carbon, in forming the same quantity of carbonic acid. The prize will be a gold medal, of the value of 3,000 francs, to be adjudged at the sitting of 1823.

Letters from Alexandria, dated' the 8th of THE MERCURY. The French Chamfers have" recently been in very long ana warm discussions on the mi-listerial projet of law, for prolonging the censorship 'of he political journals, and extending that censorship to journals literary and The term of prolongation is one year, and the curried their point in. both chambers, though opposed by the. united parties of the ultras and the tiberaui. Of the anomalies displayed in the political condition of Europe, scarcely any is more striking than that a free press should hayebeen erected where the Inquisition itood for ages, while a censorship is established over lolitics, literature, and science, in the country of.

Mod-jsauiEU, and the conntry of the Revolution and the Under espotic governments political incongruities and absurdities abound, and they continue unreformed through many generations, owing to the facility with which the minds of men accommodate themselves to circumstances. But hardly any thing is more difficult than to accommodate knowledge to irrationality, or an enlightened nation to an arbitrary government. An ignorant boor, who has never heard the sound of liberty, may easily be persuaded that kingly exaction necessary, that a war of ambition is just, and ought to kiss with reverence the very foot that spurns him but is impossible that the man of genius and learning in see his happiest productions mangled by the shears a sycophantic censor, and view the daily suppression or perversion of'truth, without the strongest feelings of indignation and disgust. Yetthe irovernment.ot' is now about to provoke these feelings in the best part of her population, and wantonly to augmen the ardour of that flame of sedition, which is said to burn among Hie worst. There are peculiar, circumstantes in the condition of France, and in the history of liurope-.

for the lat year, which give to this act the' character of nonstrous infatuation. We do not allude to the great hanges which have tiiken place in that country during ie last thirty years, and which have laid so bare to the as of the people every trick of legitimacy and all the of power, but to the numerous conspiracies, pre-nded or real, which burst out in Paris'on the enslave--nt of tile press, and to the recent abolition of despo-m by the will of the people in Spain and a France, the refined, the enlightened, be supposed endure a censorship, when Spain, where arbitrary wer was entrenched behind stronger bulwarks than quisitors and soldiers, behind popular ignorance and rcjuilices, has cast it off'? If the French were untitled they must now be exasperated, through shame lat the despised peninsula should be the seat of while they, who have spent so many years in f-glorying, and have deemed themselves the first of the earth, should be thought unworthy to ave liberty of speech. Kor the last twelve months eir journals have been despised and disbelieved all cr Europe; and now miserable degradation their ry records of science are to be' subjected to the ty-nny, and moulded after the caprice, of a ministerial' nsor. In the glowing words of Chateaubriand, ho, though the champion of the ultras, strenuously iposes the censorship," If there should arise a Co-I'EitNicus or a Galileo, a censor may, with one stroke of his pen, plunge into oblivion a secret, which the genius of man had derived from the omniscience of God." The same distinguished charac-spcaking in the Chamber of Peers, thus exposes lecessary machinery of the proposed censorship: I have already spoken to you of the censors. I have said that it will be necessary to increase their number, and consequently to augment the expenses of the state.

But this is not all the former system of the censorship must be renounced. A council will not now answer the purpose. Every journal of science must have its own censor, competent to decide on the subject of which it treats. Will they increase the number of the council Will the council be divided into different sections one for fashions, and another for astronomy one for spectacles, and another for French industry If this do not become ridiculous, it must become formidable."

3 Pj. r- I ncfiorl whetvl first conceived the idea that common answer me purposes ot aerostation, made frequent experiments, all of-which completely succeeded; nor was my ardou'r'dam'ped whim "I knew'that, even within an-hour of my ascension, per-' soia of gnat experience: in aerostation expressed their opinion tliat-I should hot be able to ascend." Atfive minutes before one o'clock the ropes were.divitled and having taken iny seat in the car, tile balloon rose in a majestic manner, nearly perpendicularly. The almost dcafeiiihg shcats of the populace, and the roar of cannon that took place when I had ascended a considerable distance from the earth, agitated the balloon; 1 felt the effect of it most The moment the discharge, of cannon took place, 1 knew it was the signal to be given when the crown was set upon the head of my most gracious Sovereign, and I drew the cork of abottlcof brandy, and having poured out a. full glass, I drank Health, long life, and glorious reign to his Majesty." The effect of the air upon the brandy is worthy of notice: when I drew the cork a report took place, which I attribute to theraicAcation of the air, similar that produced' by drawing a cork out a bottle' of soda water. When the balloon travelled at its greatest rapidity 1 felt not the least motion it appeared as if the car in which I sat was stationary, and that the earth was receding from me.

The balloon took a north-east direction at first and on my looking down upon the vast assemblage, of persons in Westminster, the delight I felt is out of my power to describe. The view presented one entire living mass of more than a million of human beings'. Having ascended as high as I could without throwing but Ballast, 1-dctermined, as the weather was so fine, to keep ill sight as long as possible. I threw out two bags of sand, of lOlus. weight each, and immediately the balloon rose with astonishing rapidity, almost perpendicularly, according to my wish.

When the balloon arrived at its utmost altitude, which, in my opinion, (I could not be certain, iu consequence of the oscillation of the quicksilver in the barometer; was ahout feet from the. earth, I found that I had entered a current of air, conveying me towards the Nore. The cold was CKtieme. I put oii-a cloak whicli I took up with me, and on looking atiny glass .1 found that it was below 3(1 two degree below the freezing point. 1 was fearful of being carried to sea, and immediately opened the valve; the gas issued in considerable quantities, and I found, by the increase of the size of objects below me to my that I was descending very rapidly.

The largest fields, which a few minutes before appeared to be not more than six inches square, increased in size greatly, and I very soon saw the sea and a number of vessels most distinctly. The balloon had a rotatory motion, and turned about four times in a minute. Still fearing that I should fall into the sea, I opened the valve to its utmost extremity and having descended so as to be able to recognize small objects distinctly on the earth, with great delight I found that the balloon bad entered another current of air, which was conveying me from the sea; I was then travelling north-west. I sat down and ate some sandwiches with a good appetite, and saw the clouds rolling beneath me, apparently on the ground. About, twenty minutes before two o'clock I descended in a field belonging to a farmer named Lainluns, which in situated about four miles beyond Bar-net, in the parish of South Minis.

I was net aware that I had descended so rapidly before I had time to draw myself up to the hoep, the car struck the earth with great force, and I was thrown out of it on my back; I was nearly stunned from the cfl'ectsMi a blow which 1 received. I still held the hoop of the balloon and the'grappling iron, which Iliad thrown out when about a quarter of a mile from the earth, not taking firm hold, I was dragged on my back along the ground a considerable distance. The balloon was eventually secured, with the assistance of a gentleman named IVaugh, and conveyed to a place of safety in his park, and I was afterwards most hospitably entertained at his mansion; to him my gratitude is due, and, but for his kind exertions, I have no doubt the balloon would have suffered considerable injury, from the great crowd of persons that assembled on my descent. I believe, from the best calculation I can make, that I travelled altogether, iu various directions, upwards of fifty miles. 41), Goswell-strcct, July.20.

However respectable the authority on which the above fact rests, we had a much stronger conviction of its truth, after reading the Courier's remarks upon it than before. That paper not only does not deny the statement in words, but it argues upon it as if true, and shows clearly enough that it is worthy of credit. The Courier, however, has a notable argument to prove that the Whigs, and particularly Lord Grey, were placed in a more dishonourable predicament than Ministers, by the offer of the Government; for that offer, he says, could only have been made on the presumption that Lord Grey was base enough to accept it.

By this mode of reasoning it might be clearly established, that Judas, who yielded to temptation, was a better man than whom Satan supposed capable of yielding; and thus only can it ever beshown that the pliant consciences of Londonderry and Eldow are to be preferred to the incorruptible integrity of Grey. LEEDS, SATURDAY, Jug. 4. We have to congratulate our readers on the opening of the road from Thwaite-Gate to Barnsdale, which passes through Pontefract, and makes the distance from Leeds to-Doncaster four miles shorter than by the other way. The new road is much less hilly, there is a better line of road, and the tolls are lower.

The distance from Leeds to London is thus shortened by four miles and, in addition to this advantage, it is expected that the Glasgow Mail will in future pass this way, and arrive here by nine o'clock in the evening, three or four hours sooner than the present London Mad.

The ship Essex, Pollard, of Nantucket, has been lost in the Pacific Ocean, by being struck by a whale; the crew were compelled to leave her suddenly in their boats (three in with a scanty supplv of provisions; shortly after, in a gale, the boat in which the Captain was separated from the other two, which have not" since been heard of.

The Captain's boat soon getting out of provisions, the survivors were compelled to subsist upon 'the carcasses of such as perished, until their number was reduced to three, when they "were at length driven to the dreadful alternative of casting lots which should die to subsist the others. In this nianner.the two lived until they were fortunately picked up. The Captain was one of the persons saved. In the Jury Court, Edinburgh, on the 17th ult-damages of 100. were given against the Rev.

A. Robertson, of Inverkeithing, he having, in (he pulpit, uttered various against the late Mr. Walker, of Sunnybank, then Provost of Inverkeithing. The action was carried on by the son of the deceased. In the, Court of Common Pleas, last week, a Miss Hillier obtained 30.

damages against a publican, of 'Eton, named Davis, for a breach of promise of marriage. The defendant had made the promise wliile the plaintiff was living as the kept-mistress of a gentleman named French and the Judge held, that lie having full knowledge of this circumstance, (as appeared by some ri Mculous and ill-spelt letters to the lady, which were read in court and excited much laughter,) could not plead it in bar of the action, though it would have been fatal had it been concealed from him. At the Court of Excise, on Monday, July 1.6, James Smith, a publican, was charged with having feloniously compounded six gallons of liquor witii grains of Paradise, quassia, and other pernicious ingredients, not malt and hops, with intent to defraud the revenue. Samples of the contents of a cask seizfd on his premises were produced in court. It was a fluid of a most powerful nature, highly concentrated, intolerably hot and bitter.

It was of a yellowish semi transparent colour, and when the cork was drawn a pungentsmell exhaled. A witness-was giving his evidence, when Mr. Mayew, the solicitor of the excise, stepped forward and stated, that the case was compromised. Judgment was accordingly awarded against the defendant in the penally of 100. The above case excited the greatest interest.

It is said that about 90 puhlicans are implicated in similar practices. By the application of drugs like those produced before the other ingredients of a similar description, it is stated that they are enabled to compound to the extent of converting two butts of- porter into three.

TAH.EXiiAJiB.,. sneaking bnUthe ame occasion, laid down two propositions 1st. "That the liberty of the press is a necessity of the age;" and d.

That a government exposes itself, when it obsti- 1 natcly and too long resists what the age proclaims lecessary." Do you know," continues he, in illus-ration. what in 1789 weie the true necessities of the age? All that constitute the deliberate wishes of enlightened men, I call the necessities ot tne age. The constituent assembly was its interpreter when it 1 proclaimed the freedom of public worship, individual il liberty, the right of jurisdictions, and the liberty of the press. It was not in unison nun tne age vncn it instituted one sole chamber, destroyed the royal sanction, and tortured the conscience, Let us then hold for certain, that that which is desir ed, which is proclaimed good and useful by all enlightened men of a country, without variation, and during a course of years, is a necessity of the 'age. Such is the liberty ot the press.

1 nanress my. self to all of vou who are more particularly my co- 1 temnoraries. Is it not the object of the wishes of all those excellent men whom we have admired in our youth of the Malesheiibes, the d'Estigkys, thp TRnrtAiNES. who' certainly were equal to any men whom we have since seeii The place which the men whom 1 have named occupy in our memory proves that the liberty of the press consolidates legi timate renown anil it ruins usui peu Kpu ujtioce is the evil? Those societies which' are the most tranquil and deserve to be the most happy, contain always in 1 their bosom a certain number of men who aspire to obtain by disorder the property which they do not i and which thev otight not to possess. Is it nrudent to place in the hands of those enemies of social order, motives ior uiscu.uc.ii., uni their perversity would be for ever impotent The good faith of a government ought never lo be com-' promised.

In our days it is not possible long lo carry on the work of deception. There is a party which has more talent than Voltaire than Bo NAr arte than any member of the Directory than any minister past, present, or to come 1 mean the public. To begin or continue a struggle in which all the public is interested, is an error; and at pre sent all political errors are dangerous. When -the press is free, when every person can know that his 4 interests arc defended, he expects from timen certain though tardy justice: hope supports him, arid with 1 reason for this hope cannot long be But when the press is enslaved when no voice can Ve raised in its defence, disaffection soon exacts from the Government either too much weakness or too 4 much restraint." WE can add nothing to remarks so just and forci cible, except to express plainly an opinion, which tEvaAND evidently holds without venturing to declare, that the Throne of the Bourbons must be dangerously weakened' by a measure like this, and that the French will soon begin to conceive that, with all the weakness of their ancient government, Louis is endeavouring to bring back some of its most odious iniquities. The close adhesion of the present Ministers to officej under all circumstances, has long been remarkable.

For the retention of power, they have many times disgracefully sacrificed their opinions, and indertaken the performance of jobs, involving a direct compromise of honour and principle. The Queen has shown, in her eloquent protest against the recent decision of the Privy Council, that this might have been said of them long ago; since the same men, who in 1807 had advised his Majesty to disregard a certain locument as unfounded, brought forward that very locument in ISM, to justify an unmanly arid harsh act towards the unfortunate Lady whom they had deserted. A most flagitious instance of their sacrifice of honour' to interest, is found in all their proceedings connected with the prosecution ofthe Queen. It is well known that they, entered on these with extreme reluctance, because they were solicitous to save appearances; yet when touched in the tender parti by significant intnnations from our inflexible and relig ious Monarch, they consented to rush blindly into those measute, which convulsed and threatened to itvolu-tionize the country. -f' to a King, Maie it no conc to destroy.
