(471) PUBLIC AFFAIRS, In June, 1797. [For an Account of the Mutiny at the Nore, fee the latter part of this Magazine.] ONE of the most important circumftances which has occurred in the courfe of the month, is the feceffion of the minority from both Houfes of Parliament.-A measure of the fame nature was in agitation during the American war, and of the nature, plan, and object of that feceffion, we expect to be enabled, in the courfe of the fucceeding month, to afford our readers a fatisfactory account. Previous to this fecetlion, however, Mr. Fox conceived it a duty to his country to fubmit to the Houfe of Commons, on the 23d of May, a motion for the repeal of the Treafon and Sedition Bills, which were paffed into laws near the end of the year 1795. With refpect to the first of thefe Bills, namely, that which came from the House of Lords, he did not trouble the Houfe at much length, but confined himself to obfervations upon two points, ft, That the Bills unneceffarily extended the laws of Treafon, becaufe the Statute of Edward the Third, in the plain, fimple, and obvious conftruction of it, was entirely adequate to the prevention or punishment of that offence. The life of the king was guarded as carefully as the valuable life of the chief magiftrate of the country could be. Secondly, that another part of the Bill is productive of the most serious confequences; he meant that part where all publications of libels upon a fecond conviction, enable the judges to go far beyond what they have ever been allowed to go before. If fuch a law had been paffed a hundred years ago, fome of the greateft ornaments of the country, whofe writings have been admired, and whofe principles have in ftructed us, might have been tranfported to Botany Bay. There might have been times, he faid, in which, upon the modern principles, a great part of the works of Locke would have been conftrued to have had a tendency to bring the government of the country into contempt. Mr. Fox then referred to the cafe of Mr.WILKES, who had been profectted for repeated libels; if the Bills in queftion, he faid, had exifted before the prefent reign, Mr. WILKES would, upon the fecond conviction, have been fent to Botany Bay. We are told that a part of this ifland, the North, was fubject to that barbarous law, which was fo lately introduced into this country; Mr. Fox faid, he had been prefent at debates that took place upon this fubject, and had read other documents which clearly convinced him, "that fuch was not the law of Scotland, and that those who had inflicted fuch fentences, would meet with the day of just retribution." But whether it was the law of Scotland, or not, he knew that we had minifters here, who were refolved to fend men to Botany Bay for fo vague a crime as that of fedition; who would have facrificed the lives of men for their political opinions-facrificed them for what proceeded from an excefs of love for the conftitution of Great Britain-for carrying opinions, which were right in their principle, to a degree of extravagance which might deferve cenfure. Such was the crime the punishment was to fend perfons, who might have been excellent men in other refpects, to die in diftant climes, to tranfport perfons of extraordinary learning and abilities, fuch as Mr. GERRALD poffeffed, and to mix them with the most illiterate and abandoned of the human race; fuch was the conduct of minifters. Upon the fecond Bill, Mr. Fox obferved, that the fundamental Rights of the People were, to fpeak their minds freely, to ftate their grievances to légal authorities, and, by fo ftating them, to procure redrefs. This is recognized in the Bill of Rights, refpecting the power of the fubject to petition the Crown. The Bill in queftion, he contended, went to abridge and diminish the exercife of the right the people had to petition the Crown and Parliament. It tended even to circumfcribe the right; it left us in full enjoyment of it, as far as relates to laws that were pending, but it clogged it in every thing that refpected grievances felt from the laws that have paffed; it made a diftinction between affemblies called by fheriffs, and affemblies called by other individuals; a diftinction of the moft dangerous kind, because it made a difference between thofe who had an elective franchife, and thofe who had, not. He farther contended, that the Bill added greatly to the power of the magiftrates, and that there feldom had been fo many refufals to convoke meeting, as fince the paffing of this Bill. The fheriff of Suffolk, when requested to convene a meeting, gave as a reafon for not doing it," that the points had been 3 P 2 oftea |
