Mr. M'Leait, A pamphlet entitled, " The Trial of DANIEL ISAAC EATON, for publilhinga supposed Libel, comparing the King cf England to a Game Cock," has lately made its appearance, and in my opin'on, is, in some refpedts, not the least excellent, among the several reports with which we have, from time to time, been p.vefented.—This mar;, who appears to be a bookseller, was ar reted, and committed to prif>n, .vhere he lay three months, becatife his pover ty or want of a friendly patron, would not admit of finding bail, himfelf in 100 1. and two sureties in 5001. each. At the expiration of that term his trial commenced at the Old Baily; and it yields singular pleasure to humanity, that the jury, after retiring one hour, returned a verdict of net guilty. If we reflect upon the tyranny exercised north of the Tweed, upon several defsrving characters, who labored, in concert i with Mr. Pitt and the Duke of Rich mond, to efFect ateformin Parliament, we cannot but Hand aftouilhed, that any man could be found hardy enough to decide a praise worthy conduct to be sedition, as was the cafe with Muir, Gerald, &c. It is equally Orange, and equally claims attention, that a man was found guilty for merely repnbli/hi'ig Mr. Pitt's speeches, ancf the Duke of Rich mond's letter ; things not deemed cul pable a few years since, but now prodi giously criminal. The instance before US of poor Eaton, is .some relief to the mind ; and I hope ed as I am) thai '»e re-publilher (Mr. Wayland) will experience "We public favor in a rapid fa*. I •»»« howcver > fugged to him, that ;s <sJ.is too much for a bock of its size. I think it wouL do better at is. od. It would be more profitable to himLlf, and more within The reach of the indigent. He must reflect, that the public are a.molt lated with matters of this for:—Policy will then induce him to attend to the recom- mendation. , . , Mr. Gu'ney's speech in favor of the defendant is an elegant thing, and mult afford plea fir e to every reader of talte. If he is a yonng man he certainly bids fair for eminence. He lays (and the ferttiment ri obviously applicable) " The Empress of Ruilia is the Skpherdefs * of a vast flock ; bin as it was not fufh:- cntly numerous for the exercise of her boujidlcfs pbilant^;"jp : , f flw has late y, by a little gentle augment ed it by a cons dciable number of the Polish breed.

" Gentlemen, if you find the defendant guilty, con filler what you de termine, under the awfui fan&ion of an attestation of the Supreme being. You fwcar lo the 'truth of every word and fyliable of tins indi&menl. You swear that by this Game Cock, this haughty and sanguinary tyrant, nursed from his infancy In blood and (laughter, is meaot the King of Great Britain and no other. You swear, too, that that King is a tyrant, for so the indidtmcrtt charges him to be. You sweat that an t.bfer vat ion on Kings in general, must neces sarily include him. Besides that, you not only Iweftr that so you underltand it, but that so did the defendant mean. Can you lay your hands on your hearts and ivvear ail this ? Can you lie down on your pillows without feeling thorns in the reflation that that man, who has already been impi ifoned near three months upon indiSment, is to be im prisoned two or thiee years longer, and his wife and children reduced to beggary and want, sis aufe you have fancied that a [enk prima facie so foreign, may 'pos sibly belong tu this paper."
