London, September 13.From the London Morning Chronicle, of
September 6. . . [49 lines on freedom of the press and
libel]
  Who steals my purse, steals trash; 'tis something,
nothing---
  Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands;
  But he that filches from me my good name,
  Robs me of that which not enriches him,
  And makes me poor indeed.
. . . [signed] Philo-Publicus.
