Thus has been produced the strange anamoly, that during. the reigns of some of our greatest tyrants, have been erected the strongest bulwarks of English li- berty. The more arbitrary the ex- actions of the prince, the more. sires nuous and determined became the l opposition to his demands; the abridgcrncnt of his power becoming more certain in proportion as he at- ‘ tempted unreasonably to extend its limits. The reign of the worst king , that. ever disgraced thothronc of England produced a. ‘ Magma Cliaria.’ Under the most despotic of the Stuarts was enacted the ‘ Pcti-a‘ tion of Right,’ one of the strongest defences of our constitution; and during the protligate and extrava- gant carccr of the succeeding prince of the same line, was passed the ‘IIobecls Corpus Act,’ the strong; est safeguard of personal liberty.â€" l .thc tc>timony 1t) his favor, by the foi'cn‘iai’i, the became his bookâ€"keeper and clerk, a 1810' M 1811,1ie again reverted to the ,he completed his time as Attorney’s Clerk. him an uncnviable notoriety. lfections he succeeded in winning, and she pccted, the marriage turned out most un~ fortune. ,{e‘tirig promotion in the printing oflicc, which was under the control of that gentleâ€" man.
