-.-. THE HIGHLAND PATRIARCH.. In the•course ul .a.t +uromer a Oentleinan travel ling in north of Scotland, was told at the manse of ./ft of a Highlander; living in that parish, who reached the unusual age of 108, and still pre•ci vc,i the faculties of his mind unimpaired.— Curiosity induced him to visit the old man's cottage. H e found him, as had been represented, still vigor ous of mind, though greatly enfeebled in body. He had been out, he said, in the Forty : five ; a phrase by which the survivors of that unhappy period are in nit to express their having taken arms in behalf of the P. et ender. Where had he fought? «I stuck to the in; t•.' said Patrick Grant, for that ii the old Inan's name, "frae first to last; I was we him in England, and I was we him on the bluidy field o Culls den: Oh! waefu', waefu' day !" He proceeded, at his visitor's request, to relate the particulars of the battle very nearly as they are represented in the histories of that period, and brought out the " braid sword" which he had used on the occasion, and, waving it over his he.id, chewed how "other fields were won." On inquiring into his circumstances his visitor was sorry to learn that he depended entirely for support on the charity of his neighbours, and was destitute of all the comforts which declining age reunites. " But for mysel', said Patrick, I lia'e rae melkle now to care for; it 'ill no be lang now till I'm below the eird. But there's my puir lassie there," pointing to a silent old woman sitting by the ingle check, "I am unto fear's! they'll forget her whan auld Patrick's dead and gene." "Never fear, Patrick," said the worthy Clergyman of the Parish, who ac companied the stranger, " while I am Minister of Lctbnot she shall never want." On leaving the cottage the stranger suggested to Mr. S—, the Clergyman, that weir a representation pf the old man's patriat dial age and destitute situ ation ,aid before the KING, there was everything to Lope from his Man:ivy's generosity, never more strongly hewn that* it has been to many followers r.f the esiled house. Mr. S—ri— approved of the idea, utsi, since the stranger's return to the metropolis, the P.ev. Gentleman forwarded to him the Petition to ki s MAJESTY, of which the subjoined is a copy. It was immediately submitted to the LINO through the rr.editini of Sir BENJAMIN BLoomstEDD, Batt. and an :lamer as promptly returned, stating that his as v has been most graciously pleased to Or der Out f his private purse, a pension to Patrick Grant and daughter, and the survivor of them, of one guinea ,er week. His MAJESTY had the generous comic cension to add that be was only sorry he had not ado an earlier application.

" MAY IT ?LEASE TOMS MAJESTY, " The E:me of your Nlajesty's distinguished generosity and benevolence having reached your Petitioner in this remote cor ner of your Empire, he is therefore emboldened to approach his S.tverdgn with a Representation no less urgent than true. " ls.ev IT CLtASE vont MAJESTY, " The year; of your Petitioner are many, being no less than one hundred and eight ; and he is, perhaps, the oldest enemy your Majesty la; now alive, luring fought at Culloden. &lo cated a Ilonlan Catholic, at-:1 in 411 the prejudices of tie times, he drew Lls sword in behalf of another Family, and fought with, all the energy of a 11011m:der ; but time and experience have corrected his views. Under the mild administration of your Y.oyal predecessors, he has seen the Nation Sourish, and its glory ~ ;d1.:11 by their wise, able, and vigorous measures. With equal zeal, then, would he gladly draw the sword in defence of that 'Monarch who now fills the throne, and who be trusts in ins, for the good and happiness of his People, will continue to do so for many years to come! -" But, alas! my Royal Sire, though the soul of the aged highlander is still ardent, the frost of age has chilled his vigour. Me who in former times had experienced all the luxury of a com fortable independence, is now, in the evening of his age, reduced so poverty and want ; for he has tot even strength left to travel in search of his daily bread: and to aggravate his distress, to one affectionate daughter, Ann, the only solace of her aged and surviving parent, your Petitioner can only bequeath poverty • ard rags. " May it, therefore, please your Majesty to take your Peti tioner's case into your Royal consideration, and to grant such ',lief as his circumstances may seem to merit ; and your Peti tioner shall ever pray.

On the formation of the Lawyers' Corps of Infan t-7 in Dublin, it was whispered to the Regiment that a certain popular Barrister, who was lame, and with whom Mr. CVRRAN was particulary intimate, in tended to offer himself as a recruit. This so chagrined )Ir. CURRAN that he was determined, if possible, to save him from the mortiScation that he knew must inevitably attend upon this application, namely— getting himself laughed ist for his vanity, and rejected as unfit. The day following that upon which Mr. Ceitnas: obtained this information, he stepped up to the blemished Barrister in the Hall of the Four Courts, whilst }:e was in confab with an eminent Attorney, and with his bewitching, but incorrigible vivacity, accosted him, " Ha !

ChiNTLEKIW-1-Lee as now pass to other plans of relief popularly agitated. It is said; that es we can not raise corn to the price required by taxation, we hmouwst? The e g down taxation to the price of corn. But borrowed money was in a debased currency, it is said, and we ought not to pay it in a currency of higher value. This is easily said, but to make the distinction thus laid down, I conceive to be .in prac tice impossible. Half of the debt was contracted be fore the Bank-notes were depreciated, and the interest upon that part was paid, during the latter part of the war, in the debased money ; the other ball was contracted when money had sunk in value, and we are now paying the interest in the restored currency; so that some of the public creditors get too little, and others are getting too much. But the different parts are so mingled and confounded together in the course of trade and business, that to separate them is quite unpracticable. " There are persons who advise a large reduction of interest on the whole debt. But this is a measure only to be resorted to in a-case of extreme necessity'. The nation thereby declares itself bankrupt. " Consider what it is for a country whose greatness is mainly founded upon commerce, to proclaim itself insolvent. Reflect upon the national dishonour ; the extensive ruin; the embarrassment of all dealings between man and man ; the difficulty of restoring cre dit; the danger to the peace of society that a bank ruptcy implies. I think you will then agree with me, that every other resource ought first to be tried. " Among these resources, there are two very obvi ous. The first is, a severe system of retrenchment; a spare regimen for all who live upon the public money. When an individual is unable to pay his debts, he does not, or ought not to say, " My car riage and horses are necessary to me, I must keep them;" he says, " I have no money, and cannot keep my carriage and horses." In the same way, the Go vernment ought to renounce every species of luxury. Mr. Hume stated last year, that we might save by economy £3,000,000 yearly. I will suppose only L 2,000.000 of this retrenchment to be practicable, and £500,00Q to be saved in other ways that Mr. Hume did not contemplate, we have thus £2,500,000 taken off our expenses. " The other source from which some relief may be obtained. is the Sinking Fund. The operation of this Fund was very clearly explained in a Paper written by the Earl of Lauderdale some tame ago.— During the war, an artificial prosperity was created by an immense expenditure of capital, which raised the price of all produce ; since the peace, on the con trary, the Government, instead of raising 00,000,000 or 1.343,000,000 alrear, by a loan, to be laid out in the food, clothing, and pay of our army and navy, have been raising as much as they could collect be yond their immediate wants to repay the holders of Stock. Thus capital or money, 'instead of being ex pended with profusion, has been collected and ac cumulated in the hands of the capitalists or monied men; and inasmuch as the one excess created artifi cial prosperity, the other tends to produce artificial distress. I know, indeed, that Mr. Vansittart, ar d the Agricultural Committee after him, have held, that the accumulation of money, and the low rate of in terest consequent thereon, will enable the landlords to relieve themselves in part from the heavy burden of their mortgages. " It is unnecessary to say that to encourage men to pay their money in taxes, that they may after wards borrow the same money from merchants and broke' s, paying interest for the use of it, is but sorry comfort. It is, indeed, merely a scheme for making one set of landlords come to the relief of another set, through the agency of the monied men, who are to be enriched by the transaction. But dirk as such a hope must be, in point of fact, the landlords are likely to be deprived even of this resource. Instead of lend ing their money at a low interest to English land. holders, the monied men find it more profitable to get seven and eight per cent. by the purchase of Danish Bonds, Prussian Stock, Shares of the Neapo litan Loan, &c. &c. 44 But the money which is extracted by the hard gripe of the exciseman from the English farmer and labourer is placed in the hands of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, who buy Stock with it: the seller of the Stock purchases with his cash a share in Mr. Rothschild's Neapolitan loan, and the English man's tax is then sent off for Naples, to pay the Aus trian troops for preserving the Neapolitan nation from the horrors of a free Government. And this is the manner in which Mr. Vansittart and a Committee of the House of Commons propose to relieve the dis tress of the farmers of England ! " I think you will agree with me, that k would be better to abolish the Sinking Fund, and repeal the taxes which go tO its support. With respect to the amount in 11119, the House of Commons voted, that there ought to be au effectual Sinking Fund of five millions; but it cannot fairly be taken at more than two millions and a half. In twenty years of peace, this Sinking Fund would pay but a small proportion of our Debt. It would be much better, certainly, to relieve our present embarrassment, and provide for the Debt by other means. "If we add the two millions and a half,which we had before saved by retrenchment, to the two millions and a half of the Sinking Fund, we have five mil lions that may be taken off the taxes. The next question is what taxes ought to be taken off? For my own part, I should clearly say, take off the taxes on salt, candles, leather, soap, and part of the Malt Tax, which press upon the farmer and agricultural labourer. Political economists will tell us, that these taxes do not affect agriculture more than any other taxes, for they are all paid by the consumer. That is, indeed, very title, if you can persuade people to consume; but the difficulty lies in this, that men will not be consumers of an article that is over taxed. .---Thus, if A, a farmer, wishes to sell his corn to Li, a consumer, B having no longer the same quan tity of paper money at command, has retrenched the quantity of puddings and pies with which lie regaled his friends, and has laid down two of his horses.— Thus A, the farmer, is unable to sell his corn at the price which would pay him fur the taxes and wages lee has laid out in producing it. But if these cases are taken off, the farmer can afford to sell his wheat at a lower price. and evesa if he does not. obtain any . .-.• :;- . . Oat profit, Yet his-corn k way, of a value maintain himeelf andhis family, and smite sutplus will remain to lay oat on' ibanufacteres: To resume what I haik said then; .it appears to the that your exertions, if &fitted to petitioning for Corn Bill, will certainly fail iif inccess, And in all probability drag you into d ivrdrse situation: it sp.; `ran. me, likewise, that itethbig ban be dbhe, with justice or true policy, to lighten the pressure of the debt. The only safe remedies that are at baud, see& to consist in a retrenchment of the public expenses, the abolition of the Sinking Fund, and the repeal of some of the most obnoxious taxes. 1 have advised you, without any factions motive, not to look for re lief from measures that the Ministers are likely to originate; still more strongly would I advise you not to place your reliance upon what is called a discus- Ilion in the House of Commons of your grievances, your interests, and your prospects. " Too often bay, you looked ton debate as an occa sion from whence some specific cure for Your disorder was to proceed ; but what has been'amally the event ? In an assembly which is on these occasions, " A Nadi of f3eadesnen who speak with ease." one Member gets up' after another to state his pe culiar views and his peculiar nostrum ; but even though each of these nostrums were endowed with incomparable virtue, the mixture of so many pro duces nothing but confusion. It is the Minister alone who can pass a measute, and he must be impelled to do it. . I too have my nostrum, but I see no use in proposing it to the incre dulous. I shall therefore conclude by advising. you to resolve for yourselves, after patient meditation, what measures are likely to be of service to you, and, when you have done that, to embody your wishes in a Petition, firm, strong, and resolute. " I cannot conclude without reminding you, how ever inflammatory it may be thought, that the ex ' penses of the country are closely connected with the question of Parliamentary Reform. In 1816 and 1817, motions fur the reduction of the Army, and the appointment of an efficient Finance Committee, were supported by a great majority of County Mem bers, and negatived by a large majority of the House, consisting almost entirely of Members for small Bo roughs The few County and City Members who supported extravagance on these occasions, only retain their seats from the great expense of elections. Is not this a practical proof of the necessity of Reform ? " I have the honour to be, " Your faithful and obliged servant, J. RUSSELL." mr•••••••• , ••••Troxew *• • • • THE ARMY. MILITARY PROMOTIONS.
