Taking for the Queen’s apartments,

who infifted on her telling her where 
fhe was going to; when fhe replied, the 
was going to her ‘¢ Mother, Mrs. 
Guelph, the Queen,”’ who had got fome 
writings belonging to her; and if her 
mother did not give them up, fhe would 
find means to commit fome horrid act. 
Upon which fome of the fervants fe- 
cured her, and fhe was given into the 
cuftody of the patrole; and on Monday

On the 23d of January, a meeting of 
the general committee of the Whig- 
Club was held at the Shak{peare Ta- 
Vern, the right hon. .C. J. Fox im’ the 
chair, when a declaration was agreed to, 
and direéted to be publifhed, as the 
< Weclaration of the Whig Club,” in 
which they call upon their fellow fub- 
jects to affociate, in erder to obtain the 
repeal of two laws, paffed in the prefent 
feflion of parliament, and which have 
been freque itly termed lord Grenville’s 
and Mr Pitt's bills. The declaration is 
ably drawn up, and ftates, that, by one 
of the ftatutes objected to, public aflem- 
blies of Britith fubjeéts, though their 
proceedings fhould be the moft orderly 
aad peaceable, and their object unquef- 
tionably legal, are fettered by reftrictions 
hitherto unknown to the law and practice 
of this kindom; and that thefe reftric-.

tions amount to an abrogation of the moft 
important article, in that folemn com- 
pact which took place between the Bri- 
tith nation, and the new. race of princes 
who were raifed to the throne at the 
revolution. By the other flatute, thofe 
boundaries of treafon are removed, which 
were afcertained and eftablifhed by the 
act of Edward the Third; a law which 
had been endeared to Englifhmen by the 
experience of four centuries; and one 
claufe of this aét, which authorizes the 
punifhment of tranfportation on the fe- 
cond conviction, even for words fpoken, 
appears to be totally repugnant to the 
merciful fpirit of the law of England. 
The minitiers, it is added, who have 
procured thefe reftraints, which amount 
almoft to a prohibition on the right of 
the people to aflemble, to deliberate, and 
to petition, have thereby fthaken the fe- 
curity of every other civil and political 
privilege. The Whig Club, therefore, 
recommend ic to their fellow fubjedts, 
throughout the kingdom, to fubfcribe 
the following declaration : 
“¢ We, whofe names are hereunto fubfcribed, 
calling to mind the vittuous and memorable ex- 
ertions of our anceftors, in all paft ages for the 
public hzppinefs and freedom of this nation, do 
folemnly engage and pledge ourfelves to each 
other, and to our country, to employ every legal 
and conftitutional effort, to obtain the repeal of 
two ftatutes, the one entitled, “* An A& forthe 
more effectual preventing Seditious Meetings 
and Affemblies,’’ the other, “ An A& for the 
Safety and Prefervation of His Majefty’s Per- 
fon and Government, againft Treafonable and 
Seditious Praf&tices and Attempts.’’ Statutes 
which we hold to be fubverfive of the ancient 
and undoubted liberties of Englifhmen, as claim- 
ed, demanded, and infifted upon at the glorious 
Revolution, in 1638, and finally declared, af- 
ferted, and confirmed by the Bull of Rights.”’ 
Within the lait two years, the afto- 
nifhing fum of 5,300,000. has been fub- 
{cribed in Great Britain, for the purpofe 
of cutting forty-three additional Canals ; 
which have alfo been actually begun!
