Europe counts 215,000,000 of inhabitants. more or less civilised, spread over 58 great or petty States, and . subject to forms of Government more or less perfect, beginning with France, and ending with Turkey. The revenues of those States reduced to francs amounts to about three billions eight hundred millions. Their maritime forces In time of war offer a total of 30,000 vessels. • It appears useless to appreciate their military strength in the approaching struggle, for it is not now a contest for some portion of territory or disputed frontier. A principle upon which political regeneration must be brought about is op posed to an opposite principle. The thing in question is a war between the people and old dynasties—between masses of hostile population, some contending for liberty, and others for absolutism. The relative strength of these masses must be taken into calculation, and not the mere organlsation of armies, which are no more than the ate' troops:oi the hostile muses. i We must divide the whole population of Europe n two enemies' camps, with the exception of a few States, which, under particular circumstances, are for the present out of the contest. In the first of these camps the Constitutional Army is fighting for its own interests. In the other, the army of absolutism fights against its own interest, and for the benefit of a few sovereigns, joined to that of three or four thousand noble families stationed upon their es tates, and forming a neutral corps. The latter are mere spectators, who will sooner or later join- the victorious WTheV first of these amiss is composed, not only of all the people who enjoy the advantages of a representative govern ment, but also, all those who are ripe for liberty, and who only wait for the 'signal to pus under the standards. ' At the head of this army, and under the command of Louis Philippe, march France and England, uniting under their banners, Belgium, Rhenish Prussia; Switzerland, Italy, Greece, and nearly all the Germanic Confederation (except Austria and Prussia beyond the Rhine.) Holland herself, suffering be tween Belgium and Hanover, is forced to join the ranks. The army of absolutism, commanded by Prince Metter- Oich, will be composed of Austria, Ruisia, Spain, Portugal, and, for a time, by Prussia beyond the Rhine, with a few small States of the Germanic Confederation, too weak, and approximating too close to despotic States, to avoid their influence. In addition to these great armies, we find States whose policy or geographical position will place them for a time'out of action, such as Sweden, Denmark, and Turkey— these form a neutral army. The constitutional army counts a force* of 98,000,060 individuals. The absolutists' army 202,000,000: but if it is admitted the enlightened man possesses a moral force, which doubles his physical strength, and that that force is still augmented by the conviction that he fights for his own interest, it will be found that the enlightened man is thrice stronger than the ignorant man who fights for a third party; The result is, that the constitutional army, though : weaker in numbers, is morally much stronger than the others. - - The consiltotioilal army has'a revenue of 2,700,000,000. francs, the absolutist army 'has one of only 9IXI lions. The army in the cause of civilization reckons 1,660 ships of war, that in the cause of absolutism 540 ; the sur- The condition of the Courts of Bankrupts' so long awl heavily complained of, has been taken up actively and in earnest by the Corporation of London. The grounds on which the existing system is deprecated are comprehended in the following statement : The plan of appointing Commissioners upon Bankrupt lists would, in the opinion of imeral high authoritie,. have long since disappea-ed, had it not been for the vast and lucrative field of patronag7e which it present,. In the year 1706, the London lists were established upon nearly the same footing as they exist at the present mo ment ; and it has been the general opinion ever since, that every attempt to improve the Bankrupt Laws, what ever be the advantages with which it may be attend ed, would be productive of the three great evils in the administration of justice, uncertainty, delay, and expense, so long as the present mode of administering the law re mains unaltered. In the year 1818 the merchants and tra • ders of London set forth, in a petition to the House of Com mons, that through the excessive charges of Commissioners of Bankrupts, and proceedings thereupon, in most cases of bankruptcy the estate and effects of bankrupts are swallowed up, and the creditors become losers, often very considerably, for the 75 Commissioners, and numbers of others, mediately and imthediately concerned, must be fed from the estate, to the detriment, in some instance, ihe ho est creditor. This was followed up with a 11 of the in convenience, which any body. s into any of the lists will at once perceive, for mg can equal the confu sion that generally exists, and ah adjournment is always beard of with gratification, amidst surrounding bother, and clamour, and nonsense. It is rather extraordinary that Mr. Ward, the Member for the City, upon being asked yester day to attend the meeting on Friday, at which Aldermau Thompson is to preside, declared that be never V. 114 iu the Courtof Bankrupts in his life. Indeed, in order to have an adequate idea of the manner in which the business is done in that hopeful place; it is necessary to enter a list at a time of full employment. No judicial situation is more painful than that of a commissioner. Commissioners are generally young banisters well qualified, but they connect with that object advancement in their profession. Pressed by their professional avocation, they are compelled tc crowd into one day a number of cases, which probably require gloat deli beration. It is not unfrequently the case that, during a meet ing of importance, one commissioner is substituted for ano ther, who is wholly ignorant of the case, sud whose atten tion is distracted between two or three cases, all going oa at the same time. Our correspondent had an opportunity of seeing the effect of this crowding of business at the last meeting of Prior's creditors, when one of the commis sioners mistook the creditor of another bankrupt, whose case was going on rapidly at the same time, fur the creditor of the former, and vice versa. Indeed, there is scarcely an adjournment of a bankrupt's examination where the Com missioners at the adjourned meeting are the same Commis sioners by'whom the adjournment was ordered, in which case the business is, as it were, to begin again, to e.ri vex ation of the bankrupt, and the expense of the estate and of his friend*. It has been admitted by some of the most en lightened of the Commissioners that the law never can •be properly administered until the Commissioners devote their whole time to the administration of it, because it .is too much to expect of any men that they should neglect their clients in order to attend a commission productive of but little comparative emolument. It is very frequently the cue that two lists of Commissioners will give two directly opposite decisions, in which case the expenses are, enor mously increased by the necessity of an appear 'to the Vice-Chancellor. The above are some of the grounds upon which the most able and influential members of the Corporation combine to oppose the existing absurd plan. They have seen a number, sometimes a great num ber, of different commissions occupy the attention of the Commissioners at once. The attention of the Commission er was solicited at one and the same moment by many soli citors all equally pressing, and entitled to despatch and deci sion upon their respective cues ; and these often involving many nice questions of fact and considerations of law. One party gained the attention of a commissioner, who was' in stantly broken in upon by another party; the half-heard case was repeated, and the second judge soon gave way to a third, and so the case went on, as it were, through the list, and re mained undetermined until the right to the undivided atten tion of the three commissioners was insisted upon. It is not ; we understand, at all the intention of thou who I are bringing forward this most important subject on Friday, at the London Tavern, to suggest any mode of improving upon the existing plan. They will leave the abode to tie judgment of Parliament, whom they will most earnestly press ter a' chin*.
