Junius against Committals by the HOUSE OF COMMONS. This important question was most ably ar- gued by Junius in his Letters—(Letter 44) The following are the most striking passaget3 in it; u It remains to be considered whether it be for the interest of the people, that Privilege of Parliament (which, in respect to the pur- poses for which it has hitherto been asquies- ced in, is merely nominal), should be con- tractedwithincertaintmuts I do not mean to decline the question f right; on the contrary, Sir.I join issue with the advocates for privilege, and affirm, that "excepting the cases wherein the House of Commons are a Court of Judicature (to which from the nature of their office, a coercive power must belong), and excepting such con- tempts as immediately interrupt their pro- ceedings, they IKIYG 110 legal authority to im- prison any man for any-supposed violation of privilege whatever." it is not pretended that I )rlvl privilege, as now claimed, has ever been de- fined or confirmed by statute neither can it be said, with any colour of truth, to he a part. of the common law of England, which had grown into prescription long before we knew any thing of the House of Commons. A for the law of Parliament, it is c-tily another name for the privilege in question; and since this power of creating new privileges has been fi- nally renounced, by both^Houees, since there is no code in which we can-study the law of Parliament, we have but one way left ten-make ourselves acquainted with it; that is to e<»m pare the nature of the institution of a House of Comnious with the facts upon record. To establish a claim of in either House,, and to distinguish original right from usurpa- lion, it must be made to appear that it is?in-; dispensihiy ntcessary for the performance -of the (itity Lticy ire employed in, and also that it lias been uniformly-allowed—From the first; part of this description it follows clearly, that' whatever .privilege does of right belong to Ihe House of Commons, did equally belong to ihe lirst assembly of their predecessors, was is completely vc^ed in (hem, and might have; been exercised in the same manner. }'ro!l the sec-wiu! we must infer,'that privileges which for several centuries were not only never al- lowed., but never even claimed, the ol Commons must be founded "upon Usurpation. The Constitutional duties of a Mouse ot Com-' motis n-nc not veryiconyilicated, nor mysteri- ous. They are to propose or asssent lo whole- some 4aws, ,())- thebclldit. -of the iiit They arc to grant the ikccessary aids to the t, -Y -,it -,Io fving. Petition for the redress of grievances, aud prosecute .treason or iiigli crimes against the StJtte. If unlimited privilege be necessary to the:peifbrmance of these duties, we have reason to conclude that for tnauy centuries;: after UieitiA'iilution of the House of Commons they were never performed. i urn not bound i to-pro-ve a itcgative but I appeal to the Eng- lish H,j.¡torv, when 1 affirm, that with thcex- ceptions already stated, which yet 1 might j y n safely relinquish, there is no precedent from j the year 1265, (o the death ot Elrzabeth, of the House of Commons having imprisoned any man ^uot a Member of the House)for con- tempt or breach of privilege." The truth is, Sir, that the greatest and most exceptionable part of the privileges now 'j coutcnded for, vere introduced and asserted] ht> House of Mansions which abolished Mo- ) narchy and Peerage, and whose proceedings, although theyr ended in one glorious Act ot substantial Justice, could no way be recon-; ciled to the forms of the Constitution. If, however, it could be proved that an intlimiled power of commitment should be ex- ended to tiie Mouse of Commons, and that,- in fact, they have exercised it without opposi- tion, still, in contemplation of law, the pre- sumption is strollgly against them. It is a leading imixiuiof the Laws of England (and without it .a 11 laws are nugatory,) that there is no right without a remedy., nor any legal power without a legai course to carry it into effect. the power now in question be tried by this rule. The Speaker issues his; warrant of allachmcnt-the party either re- sists force with force, or a^pjieals to a Magis- trate, who declares the warrant illegal, and discharges the prisoner—Does the law provide no kigai means for enforcing a legal warrant ? Is there no regular proceeding pointed out in our-law-books to assert and vindicate the au- thority of the House of ('otiiiiiotis i -'I'Iie question is answered «directly by the fact;— their unlawful commands are resisted, and they have no remedy."

GIRAT.DI'S CAMBRIENSJS, a native of South Wales, and who wrote in a period when their manners were pure and ulladulterated by fo- reign intercourse, says, That the Welsh a nation light and nimble, and more fierce than qlroii,, from thc lowct to the highest they were devoted to arms, which the plowman, as well as the courtier were pre- pared to seize on the first summons. Their management in their works of husbandry, was, that for oats they opened the oil once olll) in March or April; and for wheat or rye, theytllrned it up, twice in the summer, and a third lime in winter about the season of thrashing. Their chief food was flesh, and oats, besides milk, cheese and butter; though they usually eat more plentifully of flesh-meat than bread. As they were not engaged iu fo- reign traffic either by sea or land, their time was almost entirely employed in military af- fairs. They were so anxious for the preser- vation of their country and its liberties, that they esteemed it delightful not only to fight for thera, but even to sacrifice their Jivlcs; and agreeably to this spirit, they entertained an idea, that it was a disgrace to die in their beds, but an honour to die in the field., in their defence. Such was their eager courage, that although unarmed, they often dared to engage with men entirely covered with ar- tnour; and in such engagements, by their ac- tivity and valour, they usually came off con- querors. Those that coutd obtain armour, that they might not be much encumbered made use of that which was very light, such as-smaller coats of mail, shields, and some- times iron greaves; their offensive weapons were arrows and long spears. Their bows were usually made of slight twigs, joined or twisted together, and with these rude wca- pons they discharged arrows with great force. ( To be continued.)

Tilt: CLOTll OF GOLD. It i., staled in one of the Paris Papers that Bonaparte meant to revive the ancient Tour- naments of the Field of the Cloth of Gold.- The following was the origin of that title :— Henry VIII. in the early part of his reign, went o-verito Calais with his Queen and Court,1 to visit the King of France. The two mo- narch* met in a field within the English pale, between Guisnes and Ardres. Such was their profusion, as procured to the place the name of the Clolh aJGtlld. Henry proposed to make some amendments of the Articles of their former alliance, and he began to read the treaty. I Henry King these were the first words, t>f England, without adding, France, the nsuaisfyleoi ihe Englitih Monarchs. Fran- cis remarked this delicacy, and expressed, by a smile, his approbation of it. 'I'll t' I repaid by Fran- cis. That generous-prince was-shocked- at the precautions which were observed whenever he- had an interview with I he Knglish Monarch. In order h^brciik this tedious ceremonial, he took with him two gentlem; and a page, and rode directly into Guisnes. The guards were surprised at the presence of the Monarch, who called to them, Jou are n't ririj prisoners ntc to t/uur .MasterHenry was equally astonished at the appearance of Francis, and taking him in .his arms, My brother," said he, "You have here played me the most agreeable trick in Ihe world, ;11111: have shewed me the full confidence I may' place in voti I surrender myself your.prison-, or from this moment." lie took from his; neck a.collar.of pearls, worth 15,000 angels,: and putting it »-li<mt Francis's, begged him to wear it sike of his prisoner. Francis agreed, but. on condition that Henry should: wear a bracelet, of which he made him a pre- sent, and which was double in value to the coliar. The King went next day 10 Ardrc. without guards or attendants, and confidence being now fuiiy established between the mo- narchs, they employed the rest of the time eu- lirely-m tournaments and festivals.

To plant the waste laiitl in different parts of Estates, which is of little use for any other purposes, such as moss, moory, or common lauds, river, brook, or waterbanks, hedge- rows, old pits, &c. with plants of all sizes and sorts, best adapted to the various soils and si- tuations. 2. Upon moss or light hog, Larch, Scotch, aud Spruce Firs; and where the earth is of more solid nature, ash, bcech, thorn chesnufs Ii«ii.s, oaks, phptars, arbeli, sycamores &c. intermixed with the other kinds above* mentioned and where the ground is mere wet and swampy, alder, Huntingdon, aud red wil- lows; which being ranged in proper places, willllot only be very ornamental but of great service as a screen to shelter and preserve farm- ing-land, and cattle, and likewise an harbour for juccouring all sorts of game. t, El 8. The trees ought to be planted at Ihe dis- tance of from one to three feet (according to situation) and regularly interspersed with firs and pines, evergreens being a protection to the others from high winds and severe winter- ly weather. They may be kept as a nursery, and will admit of thinning out for several years, to prevent their being drawn weak, and then will be suitable to make immediate covers, such as screens, clumps, blinds, hedge- rows, and other plantations, where they may be removed when of larger size, with balls of earth, in great safety, and in 12 or 14 years, thinned again annually, which without any expencc, but the labour of falling, will an- 6wer the necessary iises for making rails 10 inclose or divide land, also for bleacher*, dy- era, and for scaffold poles; ladders, spars for thatching, piles for river banking, and foun- dations of buildings, props for collieries, and numbers of other purposes used as a substitute instead of foreign timber, which of late has been selling at the exorbitant price of seven shillings per foot. 4. A statute acre contains 4840 square yards, and trees at 21. per thousand will cost £9. 14s. Od. per acre, and will accumulate at 3d. each £'60. 10s. Od. and at 4d. jeSO 13s 4d .per annum. 5. One statute acre of waste or bog-land at Ss. per acre for SO years, will cost £ 1 10s Od; 4840 trees, in sort.4, with planting and insur- ing their lives one year, will cost j £ 9 14s Od, t71 amounting together to £ 4s. Od. 6. The yearly advance in value at 3d. each, is R60 10s. od, which in 20 years will be worth the sum of £ \210 Os. Od.; and in 30 years will be worth the sum of £ 1810 Os. od. which without any additionat expencefrom the time of plantillg- will clear the value of .911912. 7. £100 laid out in planting trees, advanc- ing Sd each, in 20 years will he worth X 12500 •in 30 years will be worth = £ 18750., el(lo laid out in planting trees advancing 4d each in 20 years will he worth JJI6{Jû6. In 3.0 years will -be worth £ 25,000. This is not only the most.uecessary improve- ment required in Agriculture, but has the ad- vantage of exceeding all other business in respect to profit. Raise forests for a tRaritimc peepte, and they will soon convert them into ships, and these-ships will create trade and commerce, introduce manufactures, build cities, beautify i the country, and raise the value of land and of its produce. The necessity ofratsing suchj forests iii Wales will appear still greater, if we consider that oak timber is daily becoming 1 scarcer in England so that the owners of land in Wales, as their soil is fit for the pur- pose, should raise timber to serve;tbem«elves, audio help to supply their neighbours.

.Miscellaneous. An occurrence has recently taken sprlace at Lancaster, which excited a strong sensation there a young lady of good connections was suddenly taken-ill in a large party, and a phy- sician being sent for, he declared in the pre sence of the company that the young person was in a way 41 all ladies wished to be who loved their lords," The lady having tiirfor- tunately no lord to love, was so shocked at fhe exposure, that she quitted the house, Rnd never stirred abroad for some months. 5he persisted in denying-the Doctor's declaration, but at kngth pri vatdy delivered herself of the child, which she was suspected to have thrown out of the window into a pool of water. By some chance the infant was found in time to preserve its tife; but before the mother could be identified, she made her escape, and is now on her voyage to America. She was notwith- standing indicted for the misdeaiuoanor, and a fine bill found accordingly. Oxford.—His H.

Doc- tor Borland having applied to the Physician General respecting the attack, the latter de- clared that he was a total stranger to it, thus contradicting the statement of the Surgeon- General Kcale. It iq an extraordinary circumstance, that those who have to fix the Moveable Festivals, and to communicate them to the Almanack? makers, should have made such a blunder as to have fixed Easter Sunday to be on the 22d of April, whereas it ought to have been on the 25th of March, as may be seen by the Prayer-book. it will occasion soinedifficul- ties with respect to the L-iw Terms, unless an Act of Parliament pass to remove them. We conceive the understated enumeration of the several editions of the Scriptures, print- ed and issued by the British and Foreign Bible Society, will best explain their active exer- tions, and the want which must have been felt, to render such a demand necessary.- At Bristol and at Manchester Societies have been formed, denominated The Auxiliary Bible Society."—We also understand that the inhabitants of Liverpool have .such an institu- tioll Ili contemplation, and that other p laces will foiJu s- tJnese lafu Jabie examples we truly hope; English, various editions, Copies. i Bibles 20,000 J Testaments 30,000 r < Hibles 20,000 10 ?

To shew that the above clause has already been acted upon, we observe that a qui tan' action was tried at Leicester Assizes last weel., brought to recover a penalty for reftisiti,- t" allow a deduction of the tax; viz. the i'lait", tiff had borrowed monev of the defendant upon mortgage, whose réfllsal to permit bitv- to deduct Lite tax was distinctly proved th's penalty being treble the amount of the princI- 1 pal borrowed, the leitrned Judge recommend" I ed a compromise. A verdict accordingly wa' given to the plaintiff, subject to the approba- 11 pp tion of the Court of Exchequer. i The following authentic anecdote of the lite most amiable Bishop of Elphin, Doctor La^ deserves to be recorded as furnishing au use* ful instance of the wise aud genuine liberality of that revered character. When he took possession of the See of Ki liala, aod lcarut: that almost the whole of the populat ion were Hornaii Catholic;, he used these expressions, Thai as it was a hopeless task to make them Protestants, it would answer every desh.fil1^ purpose to make thesn good Catholics«lU* with this view he got printed, at his own ex- pence, and distributed gratis through [,lie (iio- cese, a new edition of the works of the HeV" v John Gother, which breathe Ihe piety, .11)j, in plain and intelligible language, illculcal the morality of the Bihlc. jf l\ Mineral and Manorial IHghts.—M the lal Moniuouth assizes, an action for trespass Will brought against Hiie and Hopkins, I'(Irq, lessees of the Earl of Abergavenny, erton, Esq. in order to try the bounds ofthet Manor of Llanellen, and the important ques- tion, whether the grant of a mesne manor h carried to filc grantee the mines and itiiierall under the waste lands or whether they s1' remained in Ihe lord paramount.
