of a masterly hand. There is too much reason to fufpect, that the Dutch Merchants refiding in England, have both by their discourse and by their influence, given too great encouragement to the people of Holland to fupport their claim to that illicit trade, in which they are now engaged, to the prejudice of these kingdoms. The Writer, therefore, A puts them in mind of the obligations they owe this country, where many of them have been long refident, and fome have acquired immenfe fortunes, eftablished friendships and connections, and united their interefts infeparably from those of this state. He does not, indeed, fuppofe that these have been actually concerned in the contraband and hoftile traffic complained of, because it is treasonable in fubjects, and unjustifiable in friends; but the profufe thanks and careffes which have been received upon the Exchange of London, by the Agents for the Claimants for pretended Dutch Cargoes, are, he fays, proofs too notorious, that the people in Holland are, by no means, the fole and principal proprietors of the Cargoes contended for.

To err, is a blemish intailed upon Mortality, and Indifcretions feldom or never efcape from Cenfure; the more beavy as the Character is more remarkable; and doubled, nay trebled by the world, if the Progrefs of that Character is marked by Succefs; then Malice fbons against it all ber Stings, the Snakes of Envy are let loofe; to the Humane and Generous Heart then muft the Injured appeal, and certain Relief will be found in impartial Honour. Mifs Fiber is forced to fue to that Jurifdiction to protect ber from the Bafe- B nefs of little Scriblers and Scurvy Malevolence; he bas been abufed in public Papers, expofed in Printfhops, and, to wind up the whole, fome Wretches mean, ignorant, and venal, would impose upon the Public, by daring to pretend to publifh ber Memoirs. She hopes to prevent the Succefs of their Endeavours, by sbus publickly declaring, that nothing of that fort has the fighteft Foundation in Truth.

2. A Letter from a Burgess in Wiltshire to the Author of the MONITOR. 8vo. 6d. ----Who does not rejoice (fays the Author of this Addrefs,) with the prefent Minister in his fuccefs, and give him his proper share of praise in taking Senegal, Louisbourg, Du Quefne, and D Gorce? But are you fure, Mr. Monitor, that Louisbourg is to remain to us? Has not Mr. P

fhamelessly declared, that he would fooner part with it, than forego one fingle Iota belonging to the Electorate of Hanover? Would HE were King of Hanover.

These reflexions, you will perhaps say, proceed from unjust prejudices....

Yet Germany is not only to be the gulph of our treasures, but the grave of our people, 1200 of our gallant countrymen dead, and 1100 at one time fick in German hofpitals! Let Nature, as well as Politicks, deter us from this land of flaves. Its climate is fatal to the fons of Liberty...

But our Minifters are virtuous, and ought to be Supported by the virtuous ; not ridiculed by the vicious. They bave put an end to corruption. You mean corruption of members of parliament by money; for as to corruption in the country, I can look round me, and fee it flourishing as much as ever. In fimple, honest truth, his G- and his corruption, are the main fupports of P- and his virtue.

Suppofe the man, whom we this time two years fo much feared to fee fet over us, the patron of the Teft, had fucceeded. He would have bribed away, I doubt not. He would have fent money by wholefale to the Continent; but though I am truly fenfible of his good-will that way, I ask you, Mr. Monitor, whether he could have fent fo much, as is now fent? No, Sir. Our honeft oppofition, from which we have now fcandalously departed, would have rendered it impoffible.

With regard to Courts of Juftice in England, it is a most amazing inftance of neglect, and self-sufficiency in Foreigners, who often for that very reafon, give themselves much unnecessary trouble, and no little vexation to the British Minifters, that they take no more pains to inform themselves of the first Principles and fundamental Laws of the Conftitution of England, than they do to speak its language, or read its authors.

But Foreign Minifters who are inftructed, that the common course of Justice must take place in England, even in regard to Foreigners, cannot but revere the equity of a government which is formed upon fo excellent a plan; where the contests of their own countrymen are put upon a level with the Rights of Native Subjects, and are left, as they themselves might wish and entreat to have them left, to the Laws of Liberty, uncontrolled by Power.

But it is aftonishing that Dutch Merchants fhould, of all people, be unacquainted with the facred privileges of British Tribunals: they who have fo many private acquaintance, men of knowledge and honour, who might and could inform them, that the King himself, in cafes of Property, is fubject to the laws of England. For thefe, therefore, to raise a Clamour about delays of justice, and expences of appeals, is of a piece with the other parts of their behaviour, never to be forgotten.

-This ironical little piece is full of humour. The Author's fentiments of Mr. P--t may be gathered from the Reasons he affigns for his Removal, which are these. 1. Because he is the M--ft--r of

the People. 2. Becaufe he was the chief Promoter of the Militia Act. 3. Because he harraffes the Army beyond all example. 4. Because he fets himfelf in oppofition to the established manners of the age. 5. Becaufe in his fortune we have feen an example to what height a man may rife by Eloquence and Magnanimity. 6. Because he has

C

- Mr. Shirley, in his Examination of the Merits of this Sentence, objects against the legality of it; for, furely, fays he, no procefs ought to be deemed legal that exprefsly violates the fundamental laws, B or that receives a fanction solely from the Crown for extending the punishments and forfeitures of the Criminals beyond the limits of established ordinances, and the precedents of former practice. With regard to evidences, they are wholly concealed, tho' no good cause can be affigned why they are not produced in the acts of public juftice. The Practice of the Inquifition, fo highly detested by all enlightened and humane people, must have been their example for this method of Civil Procefs in "that kingdom; but how well foever fatisfied the. people of Portugal may be with it, other nations, to whofe opinions this fentence is fubmitted, have a right to reject it as unfatisfactory to the world, and unfair to the parties. We are juft told, fays he, that the Judges had examined the defences made by the Criminals; but what those defences were, they have not been pleased to inform us; and among Englishmen, at leaft, a declamatory fentence fhould have no kind of weight.

8. The Day of Judgment. A Poem, in two Books. By John Ogilvie, A. M. 8vo. pr. is.

---The Poet takes his principal materials from Scripture, which must be more acceptable to us as Chriftians, and more fatisfactory to us as Men; fince the account of this great future Catastrophe, as delivered in Scripture, however defcending to the notions and comprehenfions of men, is more nate, than any thing we meet with on this topic fublime and striking, more complete and determiin prophane writers. These materials he very pathetically describes and details, as fucceffively reprefented to him in a dream, in which a mighty feraph is his conductor and fupport, through every fcene of fublime terror.

---This work is evidently the production of a man eminently killed in Jurifprudence, and intimately acquainted with the Court of Exchequer, It is true, we do not find that nice arrangement of matter, which might be expected from fuch a hand; neither does the Author always exprefs himfelf with fuch Perfpicuity and Precifion as the fubject requires. Nevertheless, a diligent reader will receive both Entertainment and Improvement from the perufal of this Treatife; as, by collating it with other authorities, he will gain new lights on fome interesting points of antiquity, and confe

antient Republics. 10. Reflections on the Rife and Fall of By E. W. Montagu, Efq; 8v9. 45. ---The defign.of thefe papers, fays Mr. Montagu in his Preface, is to warn my countrymen, by the example of others, of the fatal confequences which muft inevitably attend our inteftine divifions at this critical juncture; for as the British state and the antient free Republics, were founded upon the fame principles, and their policy and constitution nearly fimilar, fo, as like caufes will ever produce like effects, whenever we fee the fame maxims of ftate prevail, the fame measures purfued, and the fame co-incidences of circumftances happen to our own country, which brought on, and attended the fubverfion of thofe ftates, we may plainly read our own fate in their catastrophe. Unhappily, the refemblance between the manners of our own times, and the manners of thofe Republics in their most degenerate periods, is, in many respects so striking, that unless the words of the Original were produced treat the defcriptions of those periods, as licentious as vouchers, any ordinary reader would be apt to fatires upon the age in which we live.
