cian as recent accounts would make him. It is already notorious that the paper called the " South African Adver- tiser," wlhich Mr. Gat-EIG had conducted, was suppressed some time ago by official authority ; but late arriyals from the Cape inform us, that the noble Governor, indignant, no doubt, at being accuset of putting down) the liberty of the press, has enideavoured to swing clearof the odious in,yuta_ sion, by setting up another newspaper! SucI, however, is the distrustful and( censorious temper of mankind, that his Lordship has unfortunately failed of his purpose, in so far as cliaracter might be concerned. The " satirical rogues" have the malice to allege, that anl old Government printer of his Lordship's own choosing has been appointe(d to direct the mechanical part of the business, and that public money has been applied to this constitutional undertaking in support of " the liberty of the press." Then, for the name of the paper, a precedenit was found in the trick of a paltry fellow, who some years since had the impuadence to steal a title for his new catchpenniy prilnt fiom that of an eminent London journal, but whose miserable and well- merited fate ought to have beeni a warning to all swindlers to let their neighbours' goods aloine, and their neighbouts' fame unscan(lalized. In this new fraud the words " Smutth African" were filched from Mr. GaREG's title; and instead of " Advertiser," " Chronicle" was superadded.-." Tam " .ifericurio quamn Marti," says the sagacious manager of our colonial press.
