WE hasten to acknowledge the letter of our distinguished Corres pondent, SIDNEY—on the State of the Country—which shall appear on Thursday. A POLITICAL IN tox—sugges ted by, and formed after the model of that organised at Birmingham— awakens into existence this day in the metropolis. We said, at the time when its provincial parent first sprang to light, that the sacred principle would soon communicate itself to congenial masses of the people. London, now following the example of its patriotic precursor, is blazing with it in the van of regeneration. The country has perceived at length—and it is testifying its conviction by deeds— that no hope any longer exists for it, out of the pale of popular association. The House of Commons either evades every call . which is made upon to eject from its bosom the corruption which it so doggedly fosters—or it sneers at all proposed ameliorations, as theoretical experimenti, and • dangerous departures from time-sanctioned practices—and scouts openly every project of reform submitted to it, without shame es without apology. A sr *JO ZIT Y the constituent parts of which were well described the other day, by the correspondent of a Sunday Paper—stands always ready to' crush every effort made in that Heti.e by the few friends of a better system, and to do the bid ding of the Minister—moved more like automata, than men. It is, then, only' from a SALVATORY LIAOIIII— that which has been formed in the City Road to_ day—that the down-trodden and almost pulverised people can look with any well-grounded hope, towards the future. An authentic copy of the Resolutions, and important ob jects of the METROPOLITAN POLITICAL UN lON, appears exchisive/y in the STA R to-day. Founded and directed by such a man as Mr. O'Comi ELL—and on such a !node' as the parent UN lON of Birmingham—there can be no doubt that it will strike deep root, and put forth branches to national renovation and redemption. The Honourable Mr. WELLESLEY has withdrawn from the contest for the representation of Essex. When we advert to the excellent principles professed by that Gen tleman, in his manly address to the Freeholders, we can not refrain from recording our sincere regret, at this pecu liar juncture, In losing from the ranks of generous and intelligent patriotism so firm a Champion of the cause of Parliamentary Reform and National Relief. We are not distinctly informed of the motives, by which Mr. WELL ES LE Y was actuated in his secession from a contest, iu which, from his manifest popularity, we should fearlessly have predicted his eventual and emphatic triumph. But there are sometimes causes, which, if disclosed, would inevi tably lose their momentous effect ; and we must there fore be guided by Mr. WELLESLEY'S unequivocal pro fessions, if we attempt the solution of his prompt and decisive retirement from the competition, on which he entered with characteristic ardour, and pretensions im measurably superior to those of his opponents. To those who are acquainted with the arduous duties of a county canvass, it is obvious that Mr. WELLESLEY'S late appearance in the field was highly prejudicial to his cause ; that, in the option of the representatives first afforded to the freeholders—inauspicious as that option was to the vast importance of the public exigence —many suffrages were given in support of the less objectionable candidate, as the forlorn refuge of electors reduced to the terms of a discouraging alternative ; and that many votes were promised to the less injurious competitor, which must infallibly have been the portion of Mr. WELLESLEY, had he been early at his post, or of any man possessing equal claims to the support of the county, on the score of property, connexion, rank, and the affectionate regard of a numerous and grateful tenantry. In times like the present, demanding the seal and sin cerity of such a man, Mr. WELLESLEY'S representation of the county must have proved of eminent advantage to his constituents. As it is, he has, no doubt, acted from provident considerations in the step which he has taken; he has evidently made a sacrifice of personal ambition to the paramount object of the county's preservation, and has con• suited by a palpable token of self-denial to resist the efforts of an inveterate, corrupt, and unpopular ascendancy, by transferring his own quantum of support to a party less offensive to the feelings of the people, and less inimical to the struggling independence of the county. We can hardly suppose an act more remote front selfishness, or more indicative of principle and foresight, than Mr. WELLESLEY'S resolute determination, under the perils of an uncertain result. He has done the utmost that united zeal and prudence could effect to frustrate the'encroact• ments of a party essentially attached to the mass of anti quated evils, which oppress the rising energy of England ; and in doing so, be has afforded to every candid and en• lightened capacity an earnest pledge of his devotion, to which he may justly and confidenly refer on the next General Election, when he asserts his irresistible pre tensions, as a landlord and a politician—in his public and individual character—to the strenuous support of the freeholders of Essex. We know not a man more adequately qualified than Mr. WE L 'As E T for the furtherance of the just—the indis pensable—objects, which he proposes to the achievement of a party, inspired with the wise and generous ambition of abolishing the sources of national calamity, and re conquering, by vigorous unanimity and persistence, the salutary means of social order, contentment, and pros perity. We maintain that these momentous purposes are not to be effected, as long as their pretended advocates are held to have discharged their duty by the disheartening lan guor of a solitary vote, or a reluctant and qualified dis sent from the imperious will of ministerial despotism. Mr. WELLZSLET has been led, by more undeserved and rancorous invasion of his private rights than ever wounded the domestic peace of any individual, to the exercise of an accomplished and reflecting mind ; and the persevering ardour of his character has been strikingly developed, in the long and bitter conflict he has maintained—at fearful odds too, let us add—by the sacrifice of forttine, friendships, and tranqoillity,—, Averse, as we are, from the revival of such painful topics, we revert to them as evidences of the medal temperament, from which alone we can . exist performances of moral magnitude. Mr. Wsr.Lastak• too unites with his intensity of feeling and justiee of political opinions a very rare and powerful adjunct—a perspicuous and vivid eloquence, sufficiently remote from the mechanism of everlasting speech-makers, and the frigid vein of preconcerted declamations ; an eloquence adapted to every purpose of persuasion, exposition, and resistance—without poverty or pedantry ; in short, the powers of inherent elocution, uninfected with stays, affectation, and impressed with the elegant facility of or well-bred scholar, habituated to the forms of candid, aeri es', and polite discussion. Such are the grounds on which we hope and pee*, that Mr.Wara.ta LEY, on the next general election*** County of Essex, will find himself placed by an htiviet able majority at the head of the poll. His intrinek merits are sufficient to ensure his success, and we trust be will confide in them, and in the activity of a well ap pointed agency of friends, in preference to the pretended. patronage of speculative parties. If the County, with the patriotic part of England, is seriously anxious to • subvert the gross min-government and dire abuses, which paralyse the national reeourese, and bid fair to perpetuate their languor, o r hasten &sir complete may, there is in Mr.[WsLizer.vei inmates table principles and open character enough of virtuous design, and resolution, to inspire the freeholders with hope in so judicious an election. We were highly grati fied with the sarcastic. vivacity with which Mr. WELLESLEY chastised the- dispicablo slander of some legal hireling in the crowd ; and we have very little doubt that such a specimen of calm and self-possessed acumen will prove a salutary admonition for the future to such opponents as recur to infamous fabrication or vulgar falsehood—to vitiate the unanswerable avowals of a fair antagonist. Mr. WELLESLEY said, with equal truth and animation, " There is not in England a man who has been more meanly and unworthily calumniated than I have been. I felt, gentlemen, the sting of such aspersions, until I learned the despicable sources of my detraction, and found, to my surprise, that such low and scandalous inventions—though hnown to be untrue-- were assumed, in the affectation of credulity against a man, who has always fought his battles palpably and boldly, in defiance of the worst that enmity could ad vance, or ingenuity could strive to prove. I have now learned, gentlemen, to treat such ungenerous rancour with calm and indifferent contempt. Faults I, doubt less, have ; and, moreover, I have the candour to confess them. These aro ample acknowledgments —I may say superfluous acknowledgments, for a man in my situation on these hustings ; but there is one point to which I am desirous of drawing your attention ; I have in this county a numerous, re spectable, and intelligent tenantry ; now, let any man, or let all men, inquire if my transactions with them have been niggardly and oppressive, or whether they have been invariably considerate, liberal, and kind ; whether I have been a harsh and grinding landlord, or a lenient and accommodating friend. These are the tests by which I desire to be tried by the freeholders, whom I have now the honour to address. If ono solitary tenant of mine as signs me the unfavourable resemblance, I will never look to nor solicit one suffrage from the freeholders of Essex ; but if, on the other hand, I have been what, in my opinion, every landlord should be to his tenantry—a feeling and consistent friend, I think I may deride the peevish ef forts of party spleen, and rely on the only ground, which can permanently support a man in my situation, the genuine, unbought, and unbiassed sentiments of the constituents, whom he aspires to represent."—Mr.W Et.- LESLILY'S short address, which we have here abridged, and—as we fear—impoverished,was clamorously received ; and though, we still imagine that success must have awaited his perseverance in the contest, his retirement from the struggle is reconciled to us by the unquestion able result of a general election, when the honour, inte rest, and independence of Essex will again be committed to the hands of its enlightened freeholders. Mr. WEL LESLEY has, in our opinion, contributed largely by his public spirit to the patriotic cause in whi4h he is en gaged ; and we regard the example of his devotion as one of the most auspicious, that could enlist the co-operation of kindred talent, and of just and generous enthusiasm. We have frequently had occasion to notice the vacilla dons both of our own Ministers and some of the Continen tal Cabinets on the subject of Portugal. Nor have we ever been slow to give the former full credit for any symptom indicating a return to the only policy which accords either with British interests or the broad principles of justice. We have now unfeigned satisfaction in being able to state, that a very friendly interview tdok place between the Marquis of PALMELLA and Lord ABERDEEN previous to the departure of his Excellency for Terceira. We have been further informed from sources on which great reliance may be placed, that no obstacles will henceforth be thrown in the way of these efforts which the Regency may be called on to make for the restoration of the QUEEN'S authority. As we have already hinted, one of the first measures of the Regency will be to issue a declaration to the people of Portugal, setting forth the palpable injustice of the usurpation, and detailing the evils which have arisen from it. It is supposed that this document will be drawn up in such persuasive and conci liatory language, as will hardly fail to produce an instan taneous effect both on the Portuguese nation and all the cabinets. The fluctuation in Greek Stock this morning has been to some extent, and the quotation has been as high as 51. This has been caused by the intelligence received to-day from Holland, by the Dutch mail, which states that the Greek Bonds were in great demand there, and had advanced to 47. Since the extreme improvement, some sales have been effected which have caused some alight re-action, but the quotation is now 50 to 506, and the Market is firm. . Paris Papers including the Gazette de France of Sunda'', March 7th, and several Papers of Saturday, have arrived. The following are extracts. From the Gazette de France.
