Prince Regent's Mestwge on the slate
of the country .
Lord Siilinouth brought down (he
following message from the throne
ou the Mate of the country:—
“GEORGE, I» R.
“His royal highness the prince re
gent, art infill the name and on the
behalf of his majesty has given orders 1
(hat. there he laid before the house of
lords, papers respecting the continu
ance of combinations, moetiugs and se
ditious practices, in dilfcrent parts of
tire kingdom, similar to those to which
his royal highness had already called
the attention of parliament at the
commencement of the session, and
which arc still carried on in such a
manner, and to such an extent us to
excite the most serious apprehensions
fur the public tranquility, and to en
danger the established constitution of
the country. His royal highness,
therefore roi-ommcnds them to the
immediate and serious consideration
of the house.”
The address was agreed to.
Lord Sidinouth rose and observed,
' that all they were called upon to do
was to pledge themselves to an imme
diate consideration of the subject, with
which view he should move that the
papers be referred to u committee of
seoiefry.
Aft er some debate, the originalmo
tion for referring the papers to a se
lect committee was agreed to without
A division.
Viscount Sidmoulh then moved,
“ that the commiMer do consist of:
“The lord Chancellor, the duke of
Montrose, the earl of Liverpool, the
earl of Harrowby, the earl of pnwis,
the eat 1 of Si. Germains, earl Fitz-
William, earl Talb»t.(in (he place of
Ihed.-tke of Bedford.) Viscount bid
mouth, baron Greenville, aud baron
lledeseale.”
The carl of Liverpool proposed that
Viscount Sidmouth, should he one of
the committee, as (he nobio viscount i
; could not propose himself.
I 1 Earl Grey, as we understood, ob
jected to his appointment, but the mo
tion was carried in die affirmative.
Earl Grey observed, that there did
lull appear to be any virtue in tho
number eleven, and proposed (hat the
name of the earl of Rosslyn be add
ed to the original mini her.
Lord Holland thought nothing pre
cluded (hem from increasing the num
ber to twelve. H would not appear,
by (he journals, that they had eleven
for (welve.
The earl of Liverpool thought that
it would appear as if they had made a
mistake, if after agreeing (hat tho
committee should consist of eleven,
they increased the number to twelve-
The lord Chancellor—*•! think the
lord Chancellor might he left out on
account of Lis ether occupations.”
(a laugh)
A motion was then made from the
Woolsack, the “Earl Rosslyn to be
placed on the committee, instead of
ol lord Chancellor,” which was ner
; gatived without a division. Tho o
tht p names were agreed to sub si
lentio.

country will have the honour of his
foil?—-whether he will owe it to Rus
sian or French Intrigues, is at present
unknown; but his throne toilers, and
his existence is in danger. The revo
lutionists, however, may be an over
match for his enemies.
In Prussia there are movements of
no common interest; liberty, hitherto !
a total stranger in that despotic re- i
gtoo, begins to make her appearance;
the work of establishing a represen
tative government has actually com
menced. A council of stale and a
commission court have been nominat
ed by (he king, and are now both sit
ting; the organization of a represen
tative body is their first duty, and in
j deed appears to he the sole object of
the commission court. Precautions
will he taken of course to prevent the
repre«e tatives from being too popu
lar, but the admission of the pcojdo :
into any share of the government, |
which has liceh hitherto a pure, un
jnixed. and unqualified despotism, is
a new et a; it is an event more im
pnrtnnt than one hundred victories.
It proves that mart is becoming of
more value, Unit the moral fermenta
tion has pot prevailed in vain. It
shews that there is a force-of mind in
Europe, which can already awe mili
tary det uf/tism into respect; and while
England is sinking fast into slavish
habits ami despotic propensities, (he
peopE of Europe are raising them
selves up into the station and post of
freemen. Strange revolution, when
England shall he put to the blush by
Prussia, a Prussian become enthusi
astic fop that.liberty respecting which
the Englishman is clay cold!
There is great reason to believe that
the emperor Alexander is availing
himself of his present opportunity
to make all the other powers
of Europe subservient to him. It
would sceffi that he has designs upon
Hungary. By the bounty of the Porte
he has acquired the domin
ion of the province of Muldavia and
Wallavhia; and the first notice of I
t'his valuable acquisition in the Eng
lish papers, was in an article from
India, which alluded to the progress
of the Russian force in Persia. It is
quite certain (hat Alexander is insist
ing on * some sacrifice of territory
from Austria. Dare Austria refuse?—
Certainly not without the aid of his
son Napoleon. Strange if this quar
rel were to bring ba< k\he great Na
poleon on the stage again; but w e have
seen strange times, ami for the soul
of us we cannot but believe (hat we
shall see times still t more strange. This,
however, is beyond a doubt, (hat \
Russia is in motion, and by treaty or by I
force the power of Alexander will in
the present year he greatly increased. {
The Bourbons are his slaves, Prussia
is vassal, Poland is his own, the minor
states of Germany have acceded (oh
blashemy!) to the Holy Alliance, of
which he is the head protector; and
whether he shall this year seize Hun-1
gary, ItnW or Greece, may be doubt
ful, yet there can be no doubt but that
he will haveone—perhaps all.
We were the first io Ireland to turn
public attention to South America;
we have also been the fir.-* to rouse

CHRONICLE.
I — .. ■■■
Wedficsd.iy, August 6, ISI7.
A masterly address on the sub
ject of William Cobbctl’s departure
from England, has been re-published
iti this country from the Black Ihqarfs
a periodical paper recently got up in
London. The publication is very
; lengthy; but every period in itis full
iof thought and energy. From this
specimen of (he writer’s talents, he
promises not only to be as able an ad
vocate for Pol ideal Reform, but much
more of a practical commentator upon
his political creed, than (he fugitive
i Cohhelt; whose conduct in leaving
j England is stigmatised as a pusillan
imous abandonment of the cause he
had espoused. With a rigid discrim
ination he analyzes Cohbetl’s farewel
address to the people of England, and
adroitly exposes its pitiful and absurd
inconsistencies. When Mr. Cobbett
gave up all as lost, and said there
was no hope fur the advocates of re
form, the writer thus indignantly ex
claims ; v
1 “ And Mr. Cobbett, in the face of
■ the public, tells us that there is no
hope remaining for us; that nothing
could have induced him to ’quit us
while there remained (be smallest
chance of being able, by remaining,
to continue to aid her cause. He in- i
soiently adds, “no such chance is now
left.*’ Would to Heaven, we could
stand upon some eminence, from
which our Uplifted voice could reach
the; coward, as the full sail wafts him
away from the firm, gallant hearts he
has deserted, that we might thunder
in his shrinking ears, HE LIES !
JVo chance foi England! No hope fur
England!—-Grant us patience, spirit
of freedom, while we recurd this in
sult to thy influence; and write that
it was Uttered by the flying Cobbett,
under the reign of Castlereagh and
Liverpool.”
“ Mr. Cobbett goes on to say, that
it is impossible to write according to
the dictates of truth and reason with
out drawing down upon our heads
certain and swift destruction; as Mr.
Broughman has observed in a late
speeuh, that every writer who opposes
I the present measures must feel that
be sits down to write with a halter
about his neck! And because (he min
isters have prepared themselves with
halters, we must take to our heels,
and run away instead of turning and
wresting them out of their hands.—
But allowing there is seme danger, is
it not more becoming our leaders, as
they call themselves, to fall at the
head of their troops, than vilely to a
bandon them in (be day of trial ? Is it
not more noble to meet that death
courageously at once, if death must
be the certain lot of oUr opposition to
; tyrannick measures, than meanly to
! fly from the danger of the day, Ren
counter the same end at a more dis
| tant period, disgrace;!, despised, hal
ed or unknown ? A dungeon in per
spective, has operated so powerfully
upon the nerves of Mr. Cobbett, that j
r he saw no alternative between flight 1
and silence; and not being able to
1 bold his tongue, he has fled his coun
try. It must be confessed, however,
he made some effort to reason himself
into silence, that he might be able to
live amongst us whom he esteetns so
much. “1 asked myself,” says lie,
*‘ What, shall I submit io silence ?
Shall 1 be as dumb as one of my
horses Shall that indignatian that
burns within me be quenched; Shall I
make no effort to preserve, even the
chance of assisting to better the lot of
my unhappy country? Shall that mind,
which Mi communicated its light and
warmth (o millions of other minds,
now he extinguished forever ? and
shall those who, with thousands of ■
r«J
secure Irom that pen, l»y (K„ ,«■
of Which they Wtl Vi,,,. 1
whelmed? Shall truth oeveijl
tered? ShJI> p *** .e.jj
be heard, even from a distant at!®
And this admirable reasonin* »»
Cobbett teHs us, turned the £|9
and he determined that his Vai W
astonishing powers, would be M
across the Atlantiek. We shall *»
ever, he says, hear from hj m !■
We shall have the happiness O fS
iog apart of what he will wiitß

And he thiuks that we shall be s J
simpletons, such blockheads asl
need the advice and assistant c o|
man who has fled two thonsl
leagues from us, to advise us ho\|
act with more safety to himselfil
we are prepared to wait for these I
sfrnctmns, we may as well at ul
submit tn the fetters which arc i]
paring fop us at home ; for he cl
i eludes with the assurance, that cl
I in America, there shall never <l]
from his pen any thing, which, arJ
ding to the jaw of the land, he mfj
not safely write and publish in 11
land. .What does he mean by n
j “paltering with ns in a double sen!
j Why should he leave the eountnl
Write that which he might sal
publish in if ? Why remote from I
( scene which alone can enable himl
ivrite with effect, when he come
| plates writing nothing for wlii< h
could be responsible to the laws
England? \ 1
■ * The next paragraph of Mr.C
betl’s farewell is soconclusive agdf
himself and his previous declareri.
t(iat we must transcribe it entire:
' “ Though I quit my country, /
be it from me to look upon her cat
as desperate ; and still farther be
from me to wish to infuse despn
dennj into your minds. I can si r
that oaufc no longer by.remain!
here; hut the cause itself is so goc
so just, so manifestly right andvin
ou», and it has been combated
means so unusual, so unnatural, a
: so violent, that it must triumph
the' end. Besides, the circunniaor
of the country all tend to favor t
cause of rfeform !” This is the co
Cession of the man, who says we ha
no chance! that! our cause cannot
served by exertion f that he should
to America, and write in safety,
accelerate the progress of liberty ai
happiness in England.”
Cobbett is thus, throughout, ham
led with a seventy he never befoi
experienced. In another part, tl
writer goes on '
“ As he bids us good bye, at ■
end, he gets bolder, and says, “(ll
have life for only a year or (wo,
farthest, I shall be back again"
Indeed, what, whether, things am
tend. or no ? Should he return atih
consummation of oar wishes, in lb
establishment of a general and radtf
reform, he should be exiM for lb
lomdion good, as a wretch who coal
fly from a participation in danger, a
eagerly as he could return to enjoy
state of happiness. He should b
shunned as a thing to be despised b
every man who would obtain the ca
teem of his fellow citizens, by an bo
norablo perseverance in a just an
honest cause. As to but writing^ l
New-York, they can contain iiolhip
that we need. We have learnt oui
lesson in (he rudiments of liberty,
have gone beyond our master in I" 1
application. Let him in future i®
struct children. It will do him m® 1 ’ 1
credit than to mislead men.”
Wc regret that our limit!
confined us to these garbled extra ft,
We fear we have only tantalized oaj
readers. The following is the I® W |
hie manner In which the address it
concluded;--- ...
