Taxes we are told by Monteiqnieu, " are
absolutely neceGary for the fuPPoit Of govern

OF taxes would draw after it very pernlcious
consequences, and the very iupPofition OF

The very notion of fociety is an aaocation

rules obferved and Imported. 1t is there
fore necehary and confident with tie higheft
reafon, that part of what the individuals OF
this fociety accumulate, (hould be contributed

protected in the enjoyment Of their property.
In this conGRs the idea of taxes. But then
in the regulation of theie taxes, the higheH
wifdom and difcretion is necehary. When
4 proper attention is paid to different indivi-
duas, and the accumulation of taxes pro-
portioned to private property, the machine
OF government moves with yigour and ala
Gritty. While the fun aggregate is collected
from each individual. in proper thares, the
private citizen pays but fmall part, feels
it but little, and gives his quota freely
Bu, if through undue influence, the poor

The consequences of being thus rendered

OF ceniuring the Lord Mayor, tor going, as
fome might think, beyond his due bounds,
they ought to begin with correcting their
own errors.
Al length the houfe divided on he anend-
menr; ,o4 for it, and SO againis it.
The qnefion, as amended, was then put,
and the minlfry put negative. upon it
altogether.
General Conway next moved, That the
Lord Mayor may be aHiifeG this day by
council on all points, exeepf )ucb as n'ayesn-
f,eUerf the priVifrgss Of this Hoylf." After
fome debate, the miniitry carried this motion.
Thus the Lord Mayors counfel can De of
no ufe TO him, as they are not permitted TO
argue upon that ground, where he pats hiSI
defence.
The order of tbe day was then called for
That John Wilkes. E,q; do attend. =
Sir JoIeph Mawbey food up, and gave
letter to the fpcaker from Mr.. Wilkes.
The Speaker Immediately charged Sir 10
feph with dffeipe6t, in delivering him let
ter in TIE chair; faid he had eight TO do as
he plealsd with the letter, tia, he fhould not
read it, and that he would put it into his
pocket; which he accordingly did.
The miniHry took part with the fpeaker,
and abued, Sir Joleph Mawbey moa groA,.
Sir Jofeph defended himlelf with good deal
Of iPiEi;; and aid Mf. Wilkes could 10, a6t
otherwife, unleis they would permit him to
take bis feat, and hear him in bis pLafs.
General Conway jumped up, and in great
rage, called Sir JoGeph Mawbey to order.
Said the houGe had decided that matter, and
would never permit it to be called in suction
by any perfon.
Mr.. Dowdefwcll Imported Sir Jofeph
Mawbey. Said be fhould have done exaaly
the fame he would not have delivered the
letter, until the order oflhe day was called for.
Mr.. De Grey abuicd Mr.. Wilkes ex-
ceedingy. Said that Mr.. Wilkes and Mr..
Oliver were two s6flisns oDJaanf' to the
Lord Mayor, in hopes of being made con-
Gderable; and moved that Mr.. Wlkes's at
tendance might be put off for two months.
He was NOT ieconded.
Lord North likewife abufed Mr.. WIZ.
very much. Said what would be punilhreos
to others, would be reward to him; callsy
him wretched, undone man; and moved,
that Mr.. Wilkes's attendance might be put
off to Monday next.
Mr.. Sawbridge Eaid Monday was appoint
for his motion flor triennial parliaments
and as Mr.. Wilkes WIS a party with tn
LORD Mayor, he ought to attend with his
LordGip this day.
Lord North carried his motion.
In regard to MIR. Wilkes, it is intended to
wink him out of fight. THUS Lord North
can, when he pleafes, make the houfe blind;
and, as on Monday laR, when Mr.. Oliver
fpoke, and ayowed the part he had taken,
and added, that he was a, much a principal
as the Lord Mayor, for he had adviGed his
Lordfhip to do what he did. Lord North
can make them deaf; and the two Onllows
he has ordered to be dumb. Why did he NOT
iflue that order three weeks ago y
Mr.. William Morgan, the Lord Mayor
Clerk, with the minute book of recognizan

LORD Chatham, after giving the waImeG
fupport 10 The Duke tf Ricbmond's motion
on TreiGay, On ne Mldd'eftx EicGt:on, en-
tered largely into Ike melancholy fate OF
the country, the dcpraved lYAem Of govern,
nent, which had, in fcw years, reduced
US from a mch A"usfkifg, to mott milg-
rab'e condition. He went through TIE W. C
proceedings of the Houfe of Commons, in
the laie bufneis of the Printers; he Warmly
defended the nlagiirates, in the confcenlicuS
dtlcharge OF their duty faid thar the
ilouie, in committing them TO priicu, with
out hearing their defence upon the roirt IT
privilege, had been guilty Ct an aGt cf ty-
ranny;---tha, they had heard the pro2i;uted
electors Of Shoreham, in defence ct an artcc-
ment 70 fell a bclt ugh BY auction and t21
refufed to hear the Lord Mayor q London,
in defence Of he laws Of England that their
expureing, by rere force, the entry Of the
recogn;zance, was The aG Of a lIob, tUt thar
their daring TO saame power of Hopping
all projections by their vote, hTuck at once
at the whole Stem of the laws THAI it
was foley owing 10 the meafures Ct Govern
ment, equally violent and ab!urd, thu, Mr..
Wilkes owed all bis importance that
ther, in effe6, had made him an Alderman
of London, and Reprefentativeo Of the County
of Mddeiex and now i. ieems they intend
to make him Sheriff, and, in due cou,fe Lord
Mayor Of London = that, after repeated re-
folutions, by which they had declared him
amenable to their juIildietion, they had
THANKFULLY given up the point at laf, and, in
the face Of the world, ACKNOWLEDGED him to be
their Lord and Mater That there remain
ed but one pohible remedy for the diforders
with which the Government of this country
was numerically affected II hat to fave the
name and inititution of Parllaments from
contempt, this Houfe of commons muh be
dlGolved. This he hoped might fefore good
government on one fide, good humor and
tranquility on the other yet that this was
rather hope in him than any (aneuine ex-
peca'ion. He feared that it might prove only
a temporary and partial remedy that 70 re-
iilf the enormous influence Of the Crown,
fome (tronger batteries muf be eye6ied in de-
fence of the contribution. That formerly
the inconveniency of fhortening the duration
of Parliament had had great weight with him
but that now it was no longer quehon Of
convenience; the Jzmma rernm is at fake;
your whole Contribution is giving way and
therefore, with the mott deliberate and To-
Tenn conviction to his understanding, he nov
declared hmielfa Concert 10 IriennQI Payh-
0Menfs.
His Lordfhip concluded with deGring calI
of the Houfe for next day, and declared his
intention to move an addrefs for the dlholuti-
on of the prefent Parliament.
We hear that the two Kennedy S who are

difpute was quite different formerly to whai
it is now. Ghe dl(pute was, whether the

and whethe- ii was in their power to find a
jPfdal v1dia To this purpofe, fee Raflall
90, 333. Powder o.. Dyer I73, and g.
Coke's rep. II. when the jury could not ,iet-
tie the law, and were willing to ask '.dvice
of the court, for fear Of an altaint, and find
ipecizlly, the court obliged them TO find
generally. To remedy this, this fatute de-
clates qa0d jgqitiarI non famfellant, &c it
cautioply at the fame time pteleryes the ge-
neral ifiue. II declares a jury though they
determine the law, and affirm qEOd Ultima
fl Vel nan, their verdict fhalI itand, admit
fatr VFredit7Hm. And although peiyeTfe
obiiinafr jury A1ould clearly peIvert law, and
determine againf law, il was in the power
of no court under heavens to fet aide the YER
diet on that principles they can be punilhed
only BY attaint; puniihment 70 amazingly
dreadful, that few jures would fiGque it.
Hence fays thel]atute, adia!ttafw eorEm Vae-

This power ofthe iuries has been attacked Z,
but mof feverely in the far chamber court.
lsau INC JUICES Of tfcie days but thought Of
this modern opinion, they need not have
erected this inquiition, which only made
,hemieves odious. They might have heltered
themielves under this canopy, and at the
fame time have profecuted with ef-a the
very mealuses intended in the erection of the
far chamber. They might have refufed YER
diets under pretence of juries medding with
law, until they go, thoie verdas they wilhed
for, either in favour of a party,, or the ruin
and defruction of the fubjeGt But this was
never thought of as law. They were of. ne
ceffity drove therefore to the far chamber
court, which ragged in the reign of Charles
the frR, when by their ex etfcio informations
and other illegal acts, they tbrestned the fub-
verllon of the contribution.
| would ak, fuppoiing in our prefent fu-
perior court, the chiefjuitice lhould be taken
If, as has lately been the cafe, and the four
judges left ihould differ in a point of law, two
on one iide, and two on the other, what mutt
be the eventf The jury are not to weigh
what each Judge iays to them, and refolving
from thence what appears to be law. The
jury mult be d,fmifed, and the parties muit
either wait ill the court have agreed among
themielves what is law, or wait till fome
chief juttice comes, and throws the balance
in one Gcale or the other Perhaps even in
this cafe, the two difcntiRg judges, in the
opinion of gentlemen of dlitinefIon in the
aw, have more to fay for themfelves than the
others, yet as there is a majority, the jury
are obliged to act on the opinion of this ma
jority, though it is in the opinion of gentle
men of the law, and ntheir own conferences,
againit law. Such inconvenience we often
fail into, when we depart from fettled forms.
The jury run no danger of adjudging or
the law, though they do il oppofte to the fen
tlments of the court. This has been at
tempted BY fome judges, who. l6nGbk effbfi'

may give general verdict, though upon a

The force Of whichis, if the words have airy
meaning, that jury may take on them the
knowledge Of The law if theY will, that they
may and a general verdict, and that the
court cannot refafe them this right, but are
obliged to receive it. If they SUiA take on fben

LONDON, MAY Fl.
7b: Earl efCHATHAm's SPEECH, zobea
be made mOtion 70, the Diholution Of the
brs(fnt Parliament.
My LORDS,
TT is not many years ince this nation was
the envy and terror of its neighbours.
Alone and unaifiled it ieemed to balance the
half of Europe. Nor was the afpea of It's
affairs abroad more Aattering than at home.
Concord and unanimity prevailed throughout
the whole extent of the BIitiff1 empire.
Whatever heats and animoGties might Gub-
fit between the grandees, the body of the
people was fatisfed. No complaints, no
murmurs were heard. No petitions, much
lefs remonfrances, for redrefs of grievances,
were carried up to the throne; nor were
hired mobs neceGary to keep the fovereign
in countenanCe by their venaI lhouts. No
thing was heard on every fidc but one general
burf of reclamation and joy. But how is
the proipea darkened How are the mighty
fallen ! On public day, the royal ears are ia
luted with hiles and boots and he fees ihels
againR bis perlon and government written
with impunity; juries foemnly acquitting
the publifhers. What greater modification
can befal monarch Yet this facrifce he
makes to his miniGers. To their falfe ffeps,
not to his own, he owes his dlGgrace. By
their intrigues the lait inglorious peace, the
origin of our evils, was effected, and approved
by parliament. though it was loudly con-
demned by the nation. BY their inlrigues
the laff fhameful convention received the
fame fanefion. Were this facri6ce of our
honour and interef abroad compensated by
the wif1om of our domefic government, it
would be iome comfort.-- But the fact is,
that Great Britain, Ireland, and America,
are equally diaatis6ed, with the miniffry.
The impoitic taxes laid upon America, and
the lyRem of violence there adopted, have
unfortunately Toured the minds of the people
and rendered them di(afeced to the prefent
parliament, if not to the King. Ireland has
various reafons to complain. An enumera-
ton of them would be tedious. You may
judge Of their number and magnitude by the
prefent fame. The mealures taken to carry
the Middefex election in favour of the court,
the deciGon of that election, the murders in
ST. Georges fields, the refUfal of the Gem
mons to enquire into theie murders, and into
the conduct of thoie who advifed his Ma
jefy to below thanks and rewards upon the
perlons Immediately concerned; the payment
ofthe irnmenie debt contracted by the crown,
without inipecfing any account; all thefe cir
Cumfiances had juRly alarmed the nation,
and made them uEcommonly attentive to the
operations of parliament'---Hence me publ
cation Of the parliamentary debates. And
where was the injury, if the members acted
upon honeR principles 4? For public aAem-
bly, to be afraid of having their deliberations
publlfhed, is monfrous, and fpeaks for itfelf.
No mortal can confrue fuch procedure to
their advantage. 1t, and the prsaice of
locking the doors, are lnfficient to open the
eyes of the blind (; they mutt fee that all is
not well within. Not fatis6ed, however,
with lhutting their doors, the Commons
would oyerturn the liberty of the prefs. The
printers had fpirit, and reiiied. The ini-
tated Commons exerted their privilege above
the laws of the land, and their fervants acted

ton of the laws, and of the ciy's franchltes.
The Commons Fill proceeded with the fame
outrageous violencc. They called upon {! e
magiRrates to juiiify their conduct and,
would not fuffer them &c be heard by council.
1hefc men, who had allowed the pFoitltu'e
electors of Shoreham council 10 defend a bar
gain to fell their borough byau6tion, would
not grant the fame indulgence to the Loid-
Mayor of London, pleading for the laws of
England, and the contentious diicharge OF
his duty. Accordingly they committed him
to the Tower, for not violating bis oath.
The mott iacred obligation of morality and
religion they vote criminal, when It happens
to itand in competition with their sllufned
privilege. Their next hcp was the act of a
mob, and not Of parliament. r::an the
recogniZanCe entered at GuildhaIl. We have
heard of iuch violence committed by the
French King and it iecms much better cal
culated for the latitude OF Paris thar London.
] be people of!his kingdom will never iubrnit
to fuch bare faced tyranny. They mutt fec
that it is time to Iouff, when their own crea-
lures dare 10 afumc power offopping pro-
fecutions by their vote, and confquentiy Of
refolving the law cf the land into their will
and pleafure. The imprudence, and indeed
the abfolute madnets of ,hele meafures, &C.
monRrate that they are not he refult Of tina:
anembly's calm, unbisHed deliberations, but
the dictates of weak, uniformed minihers,
Influenced by thofe who mi0ead the fovereign.
1t is impoAibe that grave, and once vene-
rable body of men, it left TO itfeif, lhould
have converted government into a fcume
with a Jingle individual. Were the Com
mons rot abloIute Aayes to the man who
holds the golden keys Of the treaiury, they
could never have rendered the very name of
parliament ridiculous, by carrying On con-
flant war againf Mr.. Wilkes. To them it
is entirely owing that he is become perfon
of ccnlequence in the fate. They hrff
made him representative for Middlelex, and
then alderman of London. Now they leem
determined to make him iheriH, and, in due
courfe, Lord. Mayor - Wien he fet their
authority at defiance, in the cafe IF the
printers, they repeatedly declared him anne
nable to their jurifdi6tion, and actually ferved
him with more than one order to attend.
Upon being found refractory, they fhame-
fully gave up the point after puniihing the
chief. magfrate of the city, they filtered
him to elcape with inpunity, and, in the
face of the world, acknowledged him to be
their lord and MATER.
Matters being thus circumRanced, the
Commons being both odious and contempt
Bile, there remains but one poflible remedy
for the evil. In order to fave the name and
infiituticn of parliament from ruin, the Com
mons muf, according to the earnef requeit |
of majority ofthe electors of England, and |
the with of almof all the nation, be diilolvcd. |
This Rep may reRore good humour and tram
guilty on the one hand, and good govern
ment on the other. Not that | imagine this |
atf alone efficient. No; have no fuch |
fanguine expectation; | lulpea it will prove
but temporary and partial remedy. The
influence of the crown is become 70 enor-
nous, that fome ftronger bulwark muf be
erected for the defence of the contribution.
The act for continuing Gptennial parlia-
ments muf be repealed. Formerly the in
conveniencies attending ihort parliaments
had great weight with me but now we are
not debating upon quehon Of convenience /; !
our all is at fake; our whole contribution is |
giving way; and therefore, with the mott |
deliberate and folemn conviction, ] declare |
myfelf a convert to triennial parliaments.

Cou'd the hidden acts of fate reviie,
And fee the ancient Gtiis of the fkies /; ~.
The chain Of canIfs could but difplay,
And fee how consequences there Sby;
Difcover mighty works of majeRy,
And know not only rOb0t be does, but SOby.
This ihould be firff of all that I'd enquire,
And this the utmof bounds Of my deiire,
W1y bs0vsn psvmits the sVorf Of men to rule,

Why he gives power to princes to dcifroy,
And waite the pleafAnt world they fhould en-
joy:
Why fame bellows her M-ds(rV'd 0fpLagk,
Where violence triumphs on natures laws !:
Where jaftice feels tn opprefIive load of might,
And ufurpasion fets her foot on right;
And he that's mightieit grown in huff and
blood,
Scorns human praife, and claims to rule from
God.
Why heaven PROVOKED with infults, and with
Pride,
Let's naughty vice the fpoils of heaven divide ;
And the rewards of virtues are poilefs'd,
BY him that iinks the man to raife the beait.
Why private miracles concern'd for blood,
AHd~iecret murders are by heaven purfu'd:
Ndtsvs's at lOarJ, and all the brutes combine,
To mix their vengeance with the wrath
divine
The fecret horror of the bloody fact,
AfhRs the malefaetor to detect
The guilty trembling hand, the falt'ring
tongue,
Hurries the vengeance Of his crimes along;
The wand'ring ffeps the wiih'd-for fight
refuie,
And make the guilty wretch hmfelf accufe /;
Confidence the hated iecTet will betray,
And make himfelf the debt to jufice pay
HaRen the punilhment the laws defer,
And make himfelf the execu,ioner
Why ihou'd juh heaven purdue the junior
crime,
But leave exalted criminals to time :
For princes guided by the CUFF of power,
In their ambitious heat the world devour.
They that have nations in their huff deiiroy'd,
And ffrove to make the whole creation void
That facri6ce whole kingdoms to their pride,
Revel in blood, and natures fpols divide:
Thefe with impunity in peace remain,
And heay'n feems 70 far to command in
vain.
In conquea uncontropd they tyrannize,
And feas of blood can fcarce their Thrift fuf-
fee,
Virtue and innocence refift in vain,
Whole nations groan, and injur'd lands com
plain;
The dying breath of millions vengeance calls
And cries of orphans fcale the heavenly walls,
Yet deaf and unconcern'd he neutral Aauds,
Deaf to th'expeefing eyes, upiifted hands,
AS if he'd bid them not look up to him,
Referr'd the vengeance back again to them.

Foutihly. Becaufs the Eaabliihment OF

would tend greatly to weaken the Conneeh'
ON between The Mother Country ard her Co.

dering it as extremely indecent for the Clergy
to make fuch an Application without the
Concurrence of the PRESIDENT. COUNCIL,
andREPREsfNrATIyEs of this Province; an
Ufurpation directly Iepugnant to the Rights
otMaukind.
Slxthly. Becaufe the Biihcps OF Lordon
have always, hitherto, exerclied ecctliait'-

Objections to that Part Of the Refoiuuoa b

Proceeding, in our Opinion, contrary TO the
universal PEzaice of the Chrfian ChuIcb,
il having been cuRomary for the Clergy to

procuring their Concurrence now propofed
is unworthy the Decctum and Dignity by

ThkRE is only one par, ofyouf mehage,

think ii necsnary, at prefent, to make any

In nv fpeech TO both houfes at the opening
the EfIion, Ie2pteAcd my opinion of the ne
GETTY Of tffs6tuaI meafuTes to prevent any
father intuGors upon the eaRern parts of
the province, and to remove fuch as have been
already made.
The council, in very obliging addres or
anfwer, declare their willingness to 60 every
thing they can, in conjunction with the other
branches Of the Legislature, to convince the
intruders that they ale under intake ifthey
expect to acquire Ute by force of their poi
fEious.
You tell me, that am fenGble fcme of
theie fettlements are in conlequence Of grants
made by the general aaembIy of this province
agreeable to the Royai Charter, and # any o.
,her fetilemenis are made there, without any
colour of title. ,ou spprehend thatthe penalty
provided by charter, and the appointment OF
lurveyors is fufTicient to prevent treiPaiies on
the Kings woods and that there is no ne
GETTY, at prefent, of the interpolation OF this
or any other Legislative for that purPoie.
The words in the charter are, /" that no

20 reduce them 10 reaion, or TO their private
ftation, and faai5 them for betraying the
tuh repcled in them.
The ilicklers for The right divine of
Kings to govern wrong" may cenfure this,
but the friends 10 the houie OF Hanover NUT
be perfectly aoquieicent with this doctrine /;
it is doctrine according to godline(s.
Whenever tyran, fets up his soia for law,
it is Immediately called pryqga:ivs. if pre-
rogative be 70 extcniive as lome men ((och
as luft after power elpecially) would have it.,
the law cannot relfrain magiitrate, and it
he pleafes to govern wholly by what he may
pleafe to call tyregativf, the people are TO
ali ia:ents and pupofes llayes. P,srqga''te
works miracles in this province, and yer the
Indignation Of this people feePs The Ge-
neral Court is removed from its legal feat,
againH plain law, ahtnted to by the King,
and by that means become a part OF ne Ia
cred compact between the King and this
people, here ALTO the pretence IS p:eEogatiye /;
but of this in fome future pspeTM
Whether Governor TTyon v pesd pre-
ropative for numbering the noMrouAy ag-
g,ieved and oppreiied people under his GO
vernmeat, time muf determine, | think it
is plain he leaps all bounds of law in puriulng
them fword in hand, and deferves that pu-
nifhment which murderers Of lower c!ais
would not efcape. Suppoie the regulators
were an uoawful and dangerously riotous
aiIemb!y, has not the law made fuficient
/, provliion to queI them, and reduce them TO
obedience If not, they have right to run
riot, for where no law is, there is no trani-
greHion. But it there are laws Efficient 70
queIl the croft OUTRAGEOUS riots, then the LAW
and not the SWORD fhoud refrain them.
The law is great, and if rightly executed,
will alqcayt prevail. If the regulators were
really the bad and dangerous men they are
reprefented, by fome men to be, yet then the
Polc CsmntatRy is more than fuficient TO
bring them to juaice. The method is plain
and eaiy; there is no Englifh province
without an Auorney-G General, there are no
counties without courts of jultice, Grand
Jurors and Sheriffs, or other executive Of
hcers, there is therefore no place North
Carolina is not excepted) where rioters may
not be puniihed. The Attorney-General
does, or lhould keep a watchful eye on the
people, Grand Jurors india, courts iflue
warrants, Sheriffs and other officers are to
execute them and to make them omnipOtent,
they have right to raiie the whole power
of the county to ania them in the execution
of their Office; if the regulators had been
purified in this manner, and had relilted the
LazU they might have been lawfully killed,
their blood would have been upon their own
heads, and thofe that killed them wouo have
been OUTLETS. 1t perhaps will be replied
that the power of the county could not be
RATED in this manner, and therefore the chief
magifrate took upon himGelf the talk Of re-
claiming them. If this was really the cafe,
the fault mutt be in the rulers, and whoe-er
is acquainted with the hihory of the regu-
lators, 70 called, mutt know that their grie-
vances are iniurmountable, juiice is fub-
verted, and their Liberties are trsmped upon,
they have not the benefit of the laws, their
grievances are unredrefed, and they GcofFed at
the queflion then is, &c Whether fuch people
fhould bend their necks with non reliance
and tamely receive their bondage, or refiH
their troubles, and by oppoGng end them ?
the anfwer is eaiy.

is making uie OF the power any one has IN
his hands not for the good of ihofc who are
under it, butfor bis own private fePerate adj
vantage. When the Governor, however in

rule and his commands and actions are not
directed to the preiervation of the properties
of his people, but the fatisfaefion of his own
ambition, revenge, covetoufnels, or any other

Il is : miflake TO think this fault is proper
only TO nloaaichiss; Other forms Of govern
ment arc liable to it, as well as that For
wherever the power that is put in any

thofe that TINS ufe If are one or many. hus
we read of the thirty tyrants at Afben5, as
well as one at Syaeu6 and the in,oierabIe
dominion of the DeeemZIyi at Romf was nc
thing better.
Wherever law ends, tyranny begins. if
the law be tranfgfeiIed to another's harm.
And whoioever in authority exceeds the power
given him by the law, and makes ufe Of the
force he has under his command, 20 compass
that upon the fubje6t which the law allows
not; cealcs IN that to be magiftIate, and
aeing without authority, may be oppofed as
any other man, who by force invades the right
of another. This is acknowledged in fubor-
Ginate magifrates. He that hath authority
to feize my perfon in the ffree', may be oppo-
fed as a thief and a robber, if he endeavours
10 break into my houfe to execute writ,
notwithstanding know he has luch war

power him to aref me abroad. And why
this ihould not hold in the higheR, as well as
in the moff Inferior magifrate, | would glad
ly be informed. Isit Reasonable that the eld-
eft brother, bscaufe he has the greafeit part
of his fathers ena;e, ihould thereby have
right to take away any of his younger bro

opprtfIion, which the exchanging another
without authority, is, thar it is great aggra-
walton of il. For the exceeding the bounds
of authority is no more right in great
than petty officer; no more jufiifiable in
King than ConRable. But 70 much the
worle in him, as thar he has more truf pu;
in him, is fuppoied from the advantage of
education, and Councillors to have better
knowledge and leis realon to do it, having
already greater fhare than the ref of his
brethren.
May the commands then of a prince be
oppofed MAY he be refiaed as often as any
ore lhaIl find himfelfagrieVed, and but ina
CINE he has NOT right done him! this will gn-
hinge and overturn all politics, and inftead Of
government and order, leave nothing bu, an

To this anfwer That force is to be OPP

the Prince by the law is facred ; and 70 what
ever he commands, or does, his psrfon is till
free from all gueaiOn or violence, not liable

of is plain bvcauie the ono uGng force,

when it was gone, it was too late to appeal.
The law could 10, reaore life TO my dead

to deRroy him who had put himleifinto fate

ing in danger, may have the benefit; of APP
psaIlng to the law, and have PREPARATION tx

Fenrtb5, But if the unlawful acts done
by the magiltrate, be maintained (by the
power be has got) and the remedy which is
due b. law,be by the fame power obRruSed ;
yet the right of reiilfing, even in iuch mani
fcf acts oftyranny, will net faddenIy, or on
flight locations, difurb the government.
For if itreach no farther than lome private
mems cafes, though they have right TO de-
fend themfelves,an to recover by force, what
By unlawful force is taken from them yet
the right to do 70, will not eaGly engage them
in contelf wherein they are fure to perrin ;
it being as impofible for one or few
oppreiied men to diifuih the government,
where the body of the people do not think
| tilemeves concerned in il, as for a raYinS
mad man, or heady male-content to overturn
a we'll fetted fate, the people being as little
apt to follow the one as the other.
But if either thefe illegal acts have extend
ed to the majority of the people, or if the
mitchell and opprefiOn has light only on fome
few, but in fuch cafes, as the precedent and
consequences ieem to threaten all, and they
are pef(uadedin their condolences that their
laws, and wishthem their eilates, liberties,
and lives are in danger, and perhaps their re-
ligion too how they will be hindered from
relifing illegal force, uGed againf them,
cannot tell. This is an Inconvenience, l
confefs, that attends all governments whatfo-
ever, when the Governors have brought i, to
this psls, to be generally fulpeaed of their
people, the mott dangerous fate they can
politely put themlelves in, wherein they are
the leis to be pited, becauie it is 70 ealy to be
avoided. 1t being as impofiible for Co
vernon, if he really means the good of his
people, and the prefervalion Of them and
their laws together, not to make them fee

being able by his Jingle RreDgth to lIbyert the

ihould any Prirce have 70 much wesknels
and Immature as to be willing TO DO it, the
inconveniency Of fjne particular mIichiefs
that may happen lome times when a heady
Prince comes to the throne, are well recon
penled by the peace Of the Public and fecu-
rity of the government, in the perfon of the
Chief Magiilrate thus lei out of the reach of
danger. 1t being fafer for the body. thar
fome few private men fhoud be fometimes in
danger to fuffer, than that the head of the
republic ihould be caiy, and upon fig &C
cations expofed.
Secondly, But this privilege belonging
only to the Kings petfon, binders not but
they may be queftioned, oppoled, and reGGed,
who ufe unjut force, though they pretend a
conrmifiion from him, which the law auth
lilies not. AS it plan in the cafe OF hiTr tiiat
hath the Kings writ to auef man, which
is full commiflion from the King and yet
he that hath il cannot break open a mans
houfe to do it, nor execute this command of
the King upon certain days, nor in certain
places, though this commHion have no iuch
exception in it, but they are the limitations Of
the law, which if any one tranlgrtls, the
Kings commifion executes him not. For
the Kings authority being given him only by
the law, he cannot Empower any one to act
againH the law, or juaify him, by his commit
fion in 70 doing The ccmmiGion,o or command
of any magiarate, where he has no authority,
being as void and iDEgni6cant as that Of any
private man. The difference between the
one and the other, being that the Msgifrate
has fome authority e far, and to fuch ends,
and the private man has more at all. For it
is not the commiaion, but the authority tina,
givesthe right of acting and aganR the laws
there can be no authority. But, notwith-
Randing fuch reiaance, the Kings perfon and
authority are till both fecured, and 70 no dam

Thirdly, SuppoGng government wherein
the perfon of the Chief Maginrate is not thus
facred yet this doctrine of the lawfulneis of
refiflng all unlawful exerciles of his power,
will net upon every flight location endanger
him, or imbroil the Government. For where
the injured party may be relieved, and his

can be no Pretence for force, which is only to
be uled where man is intercepted from APP

10 f5e PUBL G.. n
TOHE number of fuddcn deaths from ex-
L cciiiye heat, even here upon this ceol
pehnlula, gives me very unsaly sppreher-
fions for the good people in the mole inland
and unven,ilated parts of tie country: To
preveht, OF remedy as much as may be, the
i'll effects of bad regimen in This dangerous
period is the deiign OF this eilay.
BY intenfe heat and hard cxercife the
blood and juices are rari6ed, and the thinner
parts discharged in great plenty. The fat
alto quihed and mixed with the circulating
fluid tends much TO thicken if, and render
its motion through the finer trainers more
difficult. OF all parts of the body the liver
in this cafe is mott futj.et to diforder.
Reing in the direct courfe of all the blood,
fat. Sc. collected in the abdomen, and placed
between the thin covering ofthe right hypo-
choGdrium and the homach, it IS extremely
T! liable to have IT'S contents chilled and thick
]. ned by cold drink taken down in large guam
,i.y, by TOO fudden an expofre to cold air,
or what, is very imprudent, plunging into cold
water, ltrcrching at length on the cold moin
ground, slafs, &c.
The concerted fat has after fuch rnifrha
nseements Been discharged by the bowels,
both of man and beait, and the bodies of
either reduced TO ikeletons hom the want of
| nouIiihment fuch total deprivation of the
dieefiive juices Caules. From this circum-
fiauce it clearly appears, tl.at as foon as the
patient begins TO complain of hoppsge of per-
fpiration, heavy, and lomeimes lharp con-
vulGve pains at the heart pit, as If a Cannon
ball was immoveabIy fixed in il, a fw,Bsming
in the head, ringing in the ears, dlmnei: Of
fight, &c. Some tea of any kind moh agree
able to tbs tafe, lbould be prepared, and
exhibited gradually as hot as the patient can
bear it, and if lugar or honey be not d;la-
greeable, the more Of them is added the
better.
The patient ihould be held in a mode
rateIy warm place, and a unlverfal fweat en-
couraged by every gentle method. A tea Of
lean beef, well charged with crude fal ar
moniac or even common falt, where the
other cannot be had, and drank very warm,
is very ferviceable. Purges of calomel and
Ihtibarb, each ten grains, made up with
conlerve of roles, or even melaiies, are me-
ccGsry, perhaps weekly. Ripe mild fruits
are NOT only good to prevent the ardent Thrift
which tempts to the exceiiive ufe of cold
water, but wonderfully ferve to remedy the
i'll consequences above defcribed. A very
mild and yet efFeetual remedy win be found
in an intuition of a quarter Of an ounce Of
rhubarb, and half as much pearl. alh, or falt
or NORWOOD, made in quart of foh fpring
or brock water, in aglafsbottle corked and
taken to The quantity of fn,aII ,ea-cup fall,
once or twice day. Vt. YOUNG.
p. S. To prevent injury from fudden
! draughts of cold liquors, take moderate
mouthfuI, and after holding it fome time,
iwaow it Icifurely and thus proceed twice
or thrice till gradually cooled. Moderate
uie of fpirhs (houd not be forbidden, but to
| drink rum when PERTURBATION is topped by
any accident is to iet the body on FIRE.

The men and lads agreed TO conceal the I'M
happy caule of theGe deaths; which they did
until examined by authority.
We hear, the ia,cf adVices from France
are, That the parliament of the province of
Brittany, being greatly diiiatished at'he mea-
lures ofthc French Court, particularly that
the Duke of Aiguillon, who for many afro
cious crimes proved againft him, had been le-
gally condemned TO lofe his head, was not
only fcreened from punilhment but favoured
BY the King. and fuppofed to be the iecfet
director of his councils and that the King
psliilfcd in refuiing to permit the fentence to
be executed; wherefore the parliament had
paned and pubilheo an order, that all their
Members, Especially the Rohan family, and
the mobility, of which the Plince Soubze, a
great favouritc of the King, was the chef
ihould immediately leave sheir cmployrcnts
at Court, and return honlc, under penalty OF
the forfeiture of their eiiates. That IN order
to couuicraa thcfe proceedings, the King
had lent new Governor, properly inaruGt-
cd to Runnes, The capital Of the province.
That the inhabitants refuied to acknowledge
or admit him $ That the King to enforce
obedience, had ient an army Of 10000 men.
That the army were refuled adnittarce into

to draw what infeIencco they p'ea!c from
thcn. Al meeting Of the Ciais about
fortnight: before Commend nlcnt, a large
committee was chofen to s6t from that time
iii! Commencement as the clais this Com
mittae which coniiited OF ten, at afutilqrcn
meeting, elected a fub- committee for the pur-
pofe of employing Printer, to print the
Iheic5, repeating TO them the ir.lr6tlons
they had originally received from their conRl-
tuents, viz. that they ihou'd employ The
cheapef workman. Mr.. Diaper immedi-
aieIy applied for the work; being aiked his
price, he replied Iool being again aiked
whc,hcr that was the Ioweh he could afford
i, at, lie an(wcred YES but rather than lo,c
inc ID he would d. it for per cent cheaper
thaa any other, or for nothing, l he Com
mitsce leioincd that they did not dehFe he
ihou|d do it a penny les than he could
o61d, and if no Printer could cGard It for
lels ihan what he had offered he ihould have
tue employ, The Committee then app led
to Mr.. Thomas to know his price, who i'll
Fnediately made a calculation, and in few
minutes told them he would undertake il
for Q s !. aud this being s. cheaper than Mr..
Draper could afford i, for, the Committee
aw fl to employ Mr.. Thomas. The Com
mit,ce Afterwards ordering paper of better
quality, as well IS Of larger iize, agreed
TO allow o8l. los.
This being the true fate Of the affair, !
fhali proceed to make few remarks upon
the pieces publifhed by Mr.. Draper, upon
the occaiion; beginning with his poet, who
undoubtedly laboured whole nights and days
10 apply the word 4" faction" to the conduct
CT the Clals. But how the meer ACT of paiEng
by Mr.. Diapers Office without employ
him may be termed fat7ien, / am unable to
account for any other way, than by,7irtue of
that poeticaI licence, which was granted
only TO the great geninES :hat Aouriihed un-
der the republics Of Greece and Rome. Per-
baps your poet, Sir, intends that Greece and
Rome fhaIl not Re The 0aJ ftaies that can
boat Of grta: gfnigEJ.
In tie piece hgned by yourfelf, you inf :
nusrc as though it was a crime that we did
it " frona bsliticaI vitSO'," for my own part
(for can lpcals bat for one) bad thu, been
my motive | lhouId have gIoried in the Uirfaf,
and am very lenlible that iuch conduct
would have gained me, the highe& honour
ny wiihes can aiPire to, the appreciation o!
every gosd citizen.
A: your fht writer from Cambridge fys
little mcre shan to allow, that :" the Clals
had az Uncomfortable rign; to expend their
money rs they pIeaiea )" we would adVi!c
hin to leave US 20 the free exeicile OF an
iacentG9ab!e right without his imPeEtlnent
medication --but ffay---he has f4ld iome-
thing nloEe. -. that the Cals did not coniuIt
their owu honour in this particular is ;oo ap-
parent much leis did they pay any attention
TO the lnclinations of his Excellcncy." To
pay any attention to the inclina,ons of any
enc, or even oar oIVn, when they initiate
with our injfruGisnt, his Excellency himlelf
knows, is 70 far from reAeaing an honour
upon the agent, that it is Immediately dero-
gatorY thereto, and why the Committee
fhou'd give away 81. or sd. of the Class
money merely to crafty his Exccilency's in
clination, 10 quefion perhaps they lou!d
not have anlwered.
Upon your aR weeks letter from Cam
