THOUGH I feel as much Indignation, as any Man possibly can, against those who endeavor to hurt the peace of families, or wound the reputation of Individuals, by Ma- lignant publications.—Yet I should be heartily sorry to see them limitted by any restriction, on the FREEDOM of the PRESS, because I am every day more &c More, convinced that it's unrestrained productions, (the Licentious News-pa- pers themselves not excepted) have con- veyed to every corner of Great Britain, along with much impertinence and scur- ility, such a regard for the Constitution, such a sense of the Rights of the subject, &c such a degree of general knowledge, as never was diffused over any other Na- tion. Suppose a Law was in acted to protect Individuals from unjust Attacks in print, would it not at the same time remove the just means, (in many cases) of their clearing their innocence, and making known their wrongs, when in- jured in a more Essential manner; it would limit the Right which every Bri- tain has of publickly addressing his Country men, when he finds himself Injured or Oppressed by the perversion of Law, or the insolence office.— Every Mans Observation may suggest to him, many kinds of injustice and Op- pression, which the Rich, the Insldious, or the power full can commit in spite of Law, or perhaps by the Aid of Law, against the poor, the unsuspecting, and the friendless, many who can silence conscience and evade LAW Tremble at the thoughts of their injustice being pub- lished. Nothing is nor nothing can be a greater check to the wanton hess of power, than the privilege of unfolding private grievances at the Barr of the Public, for thus the cause of Individu- als is madea Public concern, and the ge- neral Indignation which their wrongs excite, form at once, one of the severst punishments which can be inflicted on the Oppressor, and one of the strongest Bulwarks that can be Raised in the de- fence of the unprotected. No confusion in my mind, can be more terrible than the stern disciplined regularity, and Vaunted police of Arbitrary Govern- ments. where every heart is distressed by fear, when Mankind dare not assume their Natural Characters; where the free spirit must crouch to the base slave and hireling in Office; where Genius must Repress her Effusions, or like the Egytian worshipers offer them in sa- crifice to the calvern power.—I hope to see the time, that by the assist- ance of some of the Gentlemen of the long Robe, the limits prescribed, how far a private Man may venture to de- clare his thoughts on Public matters; because a true lover of the Community may think it hard to be a quiet Stander- by, and an Indolent looker on,—while a publick error prevails, by which a whole Country may be ruined. Every Man who enjoys property, bath some share in the Public, therefore the case of the Public is in some degree every such Mans Concern. A person of the most sincere and in- nocent intentions; and a well wisher to his Country may possibly, by the Ora- tory and Comments of Lawyers be char- ged with many Crimes, which from his very soul he abhors, and consequently may be ruined in his fortune and lest to Rot amongst Thieves in some Stincking Jail, merely for mistaking the perlieus of the Law. To shew you at once how words may be play'd on by Lawyers.— Hear the following Storey. Sir George Rooke, many Years ago was Indicted for calling a Gentleman KNAVE and VILLIAN, the Sage Lawyer for the De- fendant brought off his Client, by alledg- ing that the words were not injurious, for that Knave in the Old and true fignifica- tion imported only a servant, and Villian in Lattin is Villicus, which is no more than a Man employ 'd in Country labour, or rather a Baily. Heaven defend me, and every Honest Man from such so- phistry. I am SIR Your very hum. Serv. J. W. S. ———— FRAGMENTS. Continued from our Last. "AND if the husband happened to have been guilty, in the same way him- self, the draught had no ill effect on the woman, though she had been ever so culpable.—Natural justice this. The Spanish inns makes a charge for noise always in their bills, whether you make any or no. The Bishop of Beauvois, who succeed- ed Cardinal Richlieu, as premier, in France, proposed to the Dutch, that they should all turn Papists, or be turned out of the allianc with the grand monarch. Lewis the Fourteenth. Though a king, Rewarded merit, and encouraged literature, The two last letters in Shibboleth would be as good a tell of an Irishman as the two first were of the Ephraimites. The Athenians always cast their Chil- dren into the sea, that happened to be born with any manner or defect or defor- mity. What can be the reason, that all the little children of Great Britain and Ire- land universally say Me, for I?—Me love you—Me is sleepy—Me is hungry? &c. Madmen are always constant in love, which no man iu his senses ever was.— Our passions and principles are steady in phrenzy but begin to shift and waver, as we return to reason. It is an hard case, that the laws should not have made any manner of difference, between murdering an honest man, and only executing a scoundrel.—I realy think that these things should be fated ad valorem. Pliny says, that the crocodile increases in strength to its latest age, and dies in full vigour.—This would be a good

poetical simile for Avarice which " Grows with our growth, and "strengthens with our weakness." A lady of my acquaintance told me one day, in great joy, that she had got a parcel of the most delightful Novels to read, that she had ever met with before. They call them Plutarch's Lives, said she.—I happened, unfortunately, to in- form her ladyship, that they were deem- ed to be authentic bisiories.—Upon which her countenance fell, and she never read another line in them. A servant maid I had once—her name was not Dorothy*—returned home cry- ing one day, because a criminal, whom she had obtained leave to go see execute happened to get a reprieve. She had no spleen to the Fellow, for he had been condemned only for a rape, nor was she of a cruel natnre.—but she had lost a fight. Ravisius Textor has given us a cata- logue of persons who died laughing. The Lex Papia for bad men to marry after sixty, and women after fifty. I think the law was wrong in the first article—because men may have children, long after that age—or their wives may at least, which answers as well for the community. But matrimony is generally thrown away upon any women after Wilkes's number. To have Children, is the only modest reason, a woman can give for marriage. —And after such pretence has ceased, what an indecent thing must it be, to see her proceeding to the gratification of her concupiscence, at the very foot of the altar? * See last paragraph but one. ———— Cawn pore 2 Jan., 1782. To Mr. HICKY, SIR, I HAVE just now perused the Orders of the Hon 'ble Board, dated the 17 Ult. Appointing Captain Alexander Maglashan a Brevet Major, to Rank in the Infantry and Army from the date of said Orders on condition that he imme- diately Resigns the service to avail him- self of the Pension. As I take it for granted that the Hon 'ble Board have been imposed on, by granting that Officer this Indulgence, I think it incumbent for the honor of the Army. And the good of the service, to make a few remarks on this Gentleman's conduct since his Admittance into the service as a Cadet in 1770. As the early part of his being a Soldier passed away in Obscurity, no- thing can be worthy of remarking. In the year 1779; or 80, he came down to the Presidency a Lieutenant, and made Application to Government to be made a Captain, and sent home on the Pensi- on, Alledging as a plea, that he had lost his health in the service, this he was positively refused, finding that his sham sickness could not impose on Govern- ment, for really he was as strong as a Ticket Porter—what were the next steps to be taken? after a little serious consi- duration, and consulting his Patrons, he finds Major Eaton in the possession of the Command of Buxar, and surmis- ing this deserving Officer was friendless, which an enquiry, proved to be really as He and his Friends supposed,—all their Low, Cunning, and Dirty In- genuity was immediately employed to undermine this gentleman, they suc- ceded agreeable to their wishes, and this Worthy Officer, after serving the Com- pany in every corner of India; was re- moved to the Sepoy Corp, without his consent—to make room for this Prodigy of an Officer, when this change was An- nounced in Publick Orders, the before Sick Lt. now appointed a Captain, and to Buxar, loses every Idea of the pension he a few days before applied for—Recovers all at once—and to the great Astonish- ments of his friends and the Faculty in General, he setts off postto take the Com- mand of Buxar, and so great was his Bodily strength on this Occasion that he out run even the Dawks, to Secure the Emoluments of his New Command, here he remained for two or three Months, as happy and contented as rude health could make him until Major Eaton Recovered from the Surprise of his removal, made application to be re-appointed to the Command which he lost by Treachery, and without a cause, and to the honor of Government, let it be Remembered, his complaints were attended to, by Ordering him to Buxar again, Now the Scene be comes dreadful indeed, What's to be come of the late Commandment of Buxar? Why he must immediately visit the Capital, and the Old plea of Indisposition, pitifully pleaded to Government, im- ploring them to take into their serious consideration, his length of services, & Misfortunes, by losing unhappily his health and constitution, on his March from Buxar, from which he was cruelly Ordered to the Presidency. Now arrived at Calcutta, I suppose he acts the part of an incurable, and solicites Govern- ment in piteous accents for the Pension of a Major, prudently as I suppose— confining himself to his Chamber, while his worthy and Virtuous Patrons are de- liberately imposing on Government by presenting his Petition, and bemoaning his very dangerous and Miserable situa- tion, with that low cringing Meanness, which unsuspecting Gentlemen cannot guard against, taking it for Granted, as I very sincerely do, that the Gentlemen of the Council were imposed upon, by false and infamous Representations, his Petition from real motives of humanity has been Attended to, and to the sur- prize of us all, Appears a Major by Brevet on the Pension, by the Orders of the 17th Dec. 81, thus has that humane Fund which was Originally intended for Worn out Vetrans ONLY, been publickly PROSTITUTED to serve a Man every way disqualified to receive such a Bounty, from motives of Christianity, I hope the Oath was not administer 'd to him, if it was Heaven have Mercy on him! To prove whether this prayer is Necessary or not, "I thus publickly call on you, Major A. " Maglashan, to acquaint those, that you " have so very GROSSLY DECEIVED, " whether you have not already, or have in " readiness to send home a larger sum—then " that prescribed by the Military Fund, dis- " qualifing Officers of your present Rank " from the benifit Arising there from?" The complexion of this [ILL] without he is callcus to every feeling Must convey horror to his Mind! yet for his inward tranquility, I shall be happy if he is able to confute me in this asser- tion; and how far he may be worthy of this Indulgence. I hope it will be the serious consideration of the Court of Directors, his Military Genius I believe is not very Conspicuous, unless his very Active Retreat from the late Colonel, Leslie's Camp, may be deem 'd honorable in the time of Service the only time he was ever employed.

THE CON-SEQUENCES. AN old gentleman having occa- sion for a footman, desired his nephew to look out for one; and as he could not find any other whom he thought would suit him, he desired his own to hire himself to his uncle. The man who revered his young master reluctantly quitted him, but being persuaded it would be for his advant- age he repaired to the old gentleman, who being confident that his nephew would not recommend him an im- proper person, only asked him, if he understood sequences. "I do not know Sir (replied the man) but if you will be pleased to explain yourself, I hope I shall be able to give you satis- faction? "—" I mean, said, the old gentleman, that when I order you to lay the cloth you should understand by it all the things connected with it, as the knives, forks, salt, spoons, &c, &c. And so upon all occasions, not to do barely what you are bid, by word of mouth, but to think of the Con-sequences, Sequences or de- pendencies of one thing upon ano- other." The man assured him that he had not the least about of pleasing him, accordingly he was hired, and for some time they agreed perfectly well but at last, his master finding himself suddenly ill one morning ordered him to fetch a nurse, as soon as possible. Instead of returning with speed, he was absent for several hours; and the moment he came into his master's presence he severely reprimanded him for having staid so long away, when he had sent him on business that required dispatch. The arch fellow waited till the old gentleman's passion was abated, and then proceeded to justify his conduct in the following manner. "That he went and found the Nurse who was below, that thinking the consequence of a Nurse might be an Apothecary, he had been for one, who was also below: that knowing, a Doctor always followed an Apothecary he had likewise fetched a Physician who was in waiting. A Surgeon was of- ten he said the Sequence to a Doctor, and an Undertaker the Consequence of all, he had therefore brought them, and hoped he had thoroughly under- stood his orders." The old Gentle- man was so pleased with the humour of the man, that he ordered him to fetch a Lawyer to make a codicil to his Will, by which he left him a valuable legacy. ———— CALCUTTA.

POET 's CORNER. If you think the following Lines worthy a place in your Poets Corner insert them and oblige. Your obedient Servant, A Subscriber. A Song addressed to Miss W—l l—ms. I. O Anna, thy matthews delight; Ineffable goodness is thine Sure never was Nymph half so bright, Or soul that felt passion like mine.— Thy smiles are like blossoms in may When our senses with odours thy greet When the Buds of gay flowers display And each Tendrill diffuses a sweet.— II. Ye powers of love hear my pray 'r Make mutual all our desires Of often the edge of despair, Tho' you torture me still with your fires.— Her frowns rob my soul of it's rest, Like the fever's intemperate heat Whilst I live, give me place in her beast, When I die, let me die at her Feet.— M: D: Chinsura 10th January 1782. ———— ELEGY to DELIA. THE tedious night was spent in tears, And now th' unhappy morn appears; On which my Delia quits the shore, Ah! Must we part to meet no more? The cruel thought has chill 'd my frame, But not despair can quench the flame, That love has kindl 'd in my breast: Ah! Whither shall I search for rest? Thy Kiss no more a balm supplies For wounds inflected by your Eyes, Nor on thy breast can I recline, And mingle all my soul with thine, Eeach day the former day surpass 'd Injoys alas! too great to last; Fortune was envious of our bliss, And plung 'd us into deep distress. Distress too great to be endur 'd, By absence never to be cured; Hopeless, my Delia, I deplore, For ever, tho' unseen, adore, Delia, tho' compell 'd to part, Still, still for me preserve thy heart; Nor dire absence nor wars alarms, Nor fate shall keep me from thy Arms; Our vows are feald—This parting kiss, The sacred pledge of future bliss: For ever on my lips shall dwell, O! heaven the weeps, farewell, farewell. Cold pale and trembling I retire, And yet my very Soul is fire; Support me heaven, my breath is gone, My grief has Changed me into stone. J.—DURGEE. PULTAH. May the 21st. ———— SIR.
