Front as Westminster Regime, No. XIX. le there any man of understanding that would! save him from being the dupe of one of the Bour bon sanitary cordons, who can doubt that THEE TORIES MEDITATE A RE-ACTION ? It is true their preparations are against the cause of the people in the progress and results of the Reform Bill making an attack upon property. Let nobodji pretend there has been any misrepresentation upik' . • ,this head. The Tories will aver that their pre.: parations are for another object, and that " nooing but malevolence can misinterpret their inten tions ;" but who will be misled by the plea ? Here is a distinct levying of war against the King's people ; officers pointed out, on whom the leviers think dependence can be placed, and the pro bable way in which the army will divide upon the question, calculated. The civil war is begun ;an if It is not stopped by the prompt exertions of t community, from this to the battle of Edge-hill will possibly be some ten weeks. It may be a lamentable thing that the opponents of Reform should have chosen to bring things to this issue ; but at the same time it is a blessed thing, that the Tory staff should in their cups and their taunting have prematurely let out the plan. No man of common sense can misunderstand either the danger or the remedy. They calculate upon having every man at their mercy, who has committed himself by assistance to Reform. A' brave time' is coming; and the Lord Chancellor is to get his fairing by and-by.' Did this mean a time when the people should make an attack upon property ? No man mistakes the meaning of slang of this kind, in the pouths of a desperate party. It means the op portunity of sangulnary revenge, on all who have resisted or opposed them. The war is to be espe cially against the " manufacturers, " who, with those " employed in trade," are stated to be " two thirds of the whole population of Great Britain ;" and the manufacturing towns are pointed out by name for " blood." The men are now at their work in the shops and the fields, whose wives are marked to be widows, and children fatherless, un less the designs of the enemy are nipped in the bud by the prompt exertions of the people in every quarter of the country. Are the tender mercies of the Tories unknown ; or have men forgotten their massacres, their suspension of law, their military executions, their half hangings, their putting to the torture, or the grinning beads of the time when dissectors' assistants were in requisition, tts do the Tory vengeance on their victims ? All this is what it must come to again, unless the people of Great Britain have the vigour to prepare themselves in stantly for their defence ; and that not leisurely or by half measures, but by one of those simulta neous displays of energy which, in moments of crisis, save nations. Not a man, high or low, who can be pointed to as having in any instance abetted the cause of refetm, but will be exposed to the measure of revenge which his importance or his activity may have made it worth while to bestow on him. Height will be no protection, and lowliness no security. It will end—to take the highest first—in the deposition of the King for another, and the endurance of all the calamities which, in the actual situation of things, such an event would bring with it in its train. There is no instance of a king so foiled ,who has survived as king. The weaknesses of declining years, which all must come to, will be made the pretext for remov ing him from his high office ; and a crowd of events are within the scope of probability, which would make the temptation too great for any party, si situated as the Tories will be, to resist. Not that the individuals into whose hands these warnings will chiefly fall, are of all men the most keenly moved by prospects of royal woe ; but still there is a decent adherence, an honed anxiety, a plain manly wish and instinctive determination, that a king who has gone beyond the mark of vulgar so vereigns, and incurred the risk in the promotion of the people's cause, should not personally be a sufferer. What the other portions of society will have to undergo, is best told in the words in which the enemy recalls the glories of the gone-by time, " men, women, and children, having the excuse of utter ignorance, hunted by cavalry, cut down or trampled under their horses' hoofs by yeomanry, thrown by crowds into dungeons, and afterwards pursued to ruin and beggary, exiled, or even decimated by the executioner." This is the Tories own description, of what " but a dozen of years ago,'! they inflicted on the people for " less than the least" of what the people has now been guilty of attempting. It is no exagge rated statement; it is the enemy's own thoughts in the enemy's own words. The people who cannot t.alte a hint when their enemies speak thus plainly, (tight to take the locks off their doors when they hear of thieves being abroad, and run about saying, " Come eat me," like nest pigs in the country of Cockaigne. There is not the smallest reason for despair. The Tories calculate upon the army ; but never were men more wrong in their reckoning, than when they sav " it might be counted on with great security. Themselves appear to have an inkling of the fact, that "among the regimental officers" there would be abundance aho from one cause or another would side with their opponents. As the Tories have chosen to begin the calculation, it is but fair to follow it up. And first then, if there should be itny attempt to divide .the army, let the people recollect the intense interest which, independently of the ideas of honour and duty which of themselves would make thousands of officers take the popular side, all that most influential body the captains and su balterns would feel in supporting the side which held out the prospect of escape from the aristocra tical monopoly of promotion. Putting out of question, as before, the higher ideas of duty whi c h would make this ass of officers join the portion of the upper classes which sided with the people, this motive alone would operate with intense force on at least three-fourths of the individuals described. And if it operated on them, with what vastly increased force would it act upon that more numerous and still more influential body, as regards the conduct of the masses, the non commissioned officers. The Spanish constitution alists sank under the Bourbon invasion, because it never occurred to them to make a dozen serjeants 'captains upon the field of battle. The French their revolution were aware of the irresistible ell produced upon an army, by the prospect of ad , ling the lower classes to their fair sbare of pr tion and reward. If the English soldier cool conquer" under the cold shade of aristocracy,' (what might not be expected from him, when thi deadly bar to exertion was removed. But this( 'is a worse reckoning for the enemy still ; there, would be a cause operating with peculiar force, upon the men who have never aspired to a corpo- 1 ref's stripe, a cause which appears to have been cherished with particular seal, as if on purpose that it should operate at a crisis like the one supposed. The moment a division of the army was attempted, there would be the whipped army against the un whipped. All men, except the rotten part of the aristocracy, know that an officer who, with the prodigious faculties given by military law, with a power of solitary imprisonment almost unlimited, and an opportunity of indicting misery, disgrace, and suffering, on every hour of the life of every man beneath his orders, cannot maintain discipline without having recourse to the brutal methods which dishonour the British service,—is one, in the more contemptuous than elegant expression of the common soldier and seaman, " not fit to carry gar bage to a bear." But then the rotten part of the aristocracy could not change their mode of disci pline or substitute wisdom for folly on the spur of the occasion ; or if they made the attempt, their men would laugh at them, and point to they opposite ranks as what they had to thank fors the indulgence. Besides these, there are numerous' other means by which the portion of the government which acted with the people would operate upon the armed bodies. The navy and marines would be strongly led by professional feelings to side with the sovereign ; and they and their officers would at once furnish an incomparable artillery for the defence of posts and passages, and the basis of a disciplined infantry. In the corps a talens, the artillery and engineers, the interest of the worst part of the aristocracy would be found feebly in proportions tethe degree' tlt whiat the officers are drawn from the middle, which are the scientific, classes of society; end it would be completely nul lified by the sweeping interest which might be created, by opening to these corps the way to gene ral promotion, and giving the prospect of the com mand of armies to the young Napoleons they may contain. In addition to all these, would come the vast energies derivable from the people's own ex ertions. It is well known, that with a mixture of old troops, a good infantry may be made in three weeks. Cavalry requires a longer time; but with good horses and willing mer,—tailors, if desired, like those that composed Elliott's regiment,—it is hard if in three months a cavalry could not be made, that with careful leading and some small advantage in numbers, should ride down the proud est of the proud. Make fifty troop-serjeant majors captains, and the same number of serjeants and corporals subaltern officers, on condition that they brought their troops into the field in good order in three months ; and it would be seen how certainly the thing would be brought to pass. These considerations, and many more that might be added, show the utter rashness and folly of the plan the Tories have formed of bearing the people down with the army, and executing their vengeances at " Manchester or elsewhere " in " blood ;" provided only the community acted with moderate promptitude and vigour. And here there can be no doubt or hesitation about what the community ought now to do ; take instantly all legal measures, in combination with the govern ment, for being prepared against the sanguinary reaction the Tories have been pleased to threaten. The trouble is of their own making ; they have no right to threaten ' blood,' and expect that other people are to sit down quietly and wait their plea sure. They have no right to print a list of the officers they wish to see employed upon their staff, and expect that their opponents are not to be ready with another. The country must be prepared against brute force, and will be; and the evidence of the necessity is in the printed documents here presented. As the further means of reducing temptation to violence, impress every where the necessity that will exist, if the attempt is made and put down, of demanding increased security for the well-being of the people ; and let that se curity be the ballot. Impress moreover on the ministry the necessity of making more extended concessions to national feeling in Ireland, and of engaging the hearty co-operation of the Irish people against an enemy whose success will in fallibly be followed by an attempt to restore the old religious inferiorities in that country. The times are urgent; and every man must incur some trouble, to avoid trouble. The Tory plan is in a nutshell, if the country proceeds like one man to quash it without delay. Give it head and time, and there is no defining to what overpowering magnitnde of evil It may rise. One new reason for exertion has presented itself within the hour. Warsaw has fallen ; and the Holy Alliance is now in full march on Paris. The French people has suffered itself to be cheated and betrayed, and it is doubtful whether any measures can now arrest the progress of its enemies. The liberal party in the different states of continental Europe cannot be expected efficiently to oppose that progress, at all events till France has a govern ment on which their confidence can be reposed.— The probable results ate two; either that France will be conquered and partitioned, the Bourbons taking their share; or that it will throw off the form of government that has given up all its out works and brought it to its present pass, and esta blish a republic, though with every chance of being too late. In either case the English Tories will make their market. In the first event they will ride over us with their Russian allies, as when the English minister pointed to the state of the Conti nent, and asked what chance there was for popular resistance at home. In the other, they will cry out against the perils of popular power, and the emir. mity of a people's not submitting to foreigners when asked. If either from carlessness or con tempt of danger, the threats of the calf are not provided against now, it will be a bull when the time comes for putting its threats into execution. In the meanwhile there are sundry measures which the government might pursue, as the means of diminishing the peril of the general fever of the times. The Reform bill has displayed the fact, known indeed before, that a certain portion of those who pass under the name of radicals, dislike reform, as being a preventive of revolution ; and their special object is, the funds. Even of these, the majority are actuated rather by a vague idea that the destruction of the debt would be public wealth, than by a simple desire of spoliation. But i the governm en t s h ou ld ma k e prov i s i on a • t storm from this quarter, by doing aomethiug to encourage the subdivision of funded property. If every man held a sharp in exact proportion to hie taxes, none would call for confiscation, because it would only be confiscating from one pocket to. put into the other. A government cannot abso-, Int* direct the disposition of funded property, any' more than of any other kind ; but it can do much to direct the stream. It is time to consider whether something might not be effected in this way, by a tax on Funded property in the shape of a moderate per-centage on the excess above a certain sum, as for instance above £3,000. Such an arrangement would shoot over the heads of the small annuitants, and act as a premium on dispersion ; and if the others object to it, they should be bound to find a plan which would produce an equivalent effect in promoting subdivision. The question is a public one; and not of the likings or dislikiogs of indi vidual stock-holders. A provident ministry would further insist on the church's commuting its unpo pular and dangerous form of holding its posses sions. Two points are especially to be recollected in such a change, as essential to making it in any shape a peace-offering to a people whom it would not be safe to attempt to deceive. One is, that whatever the church may charge for, she has no right to charge for the gains that would ensue, but of which no part could come to her under the exist ing system. And the other is, that the commutation must be final, and free from all reference to future valuations ; the country being incomparably too enlightened to be taken in by a commutation which should preserve the old gratuitous check on the improvement of the land. On these points it •. ht be necessary to use a little gentle force. The church is clinging distressfully, like a fat old ady to a wreck; and must be carried shrieking into the long-boat, by those who are better able to discern the symptoms of the times. Without in the slightest degree waving the principle, that what is ailed the property of the church is as simply the creature of the legislature for the time being as the property of a colonel in his regiment, subject only, like that, to a decent regard for existing *nterests,—an agreement on this point between he government and the great mass of the re formers would be a source of confidence and trength to both. If any of these statements displease the timid 'and the feeble, they must be told that the English people cannot afford to throw themselves away like the French and Belgians, in the hope that some thing will hinder them from being attacked. The enemy's plan is out ; and if by this last imprudence the Tories have thrown away their chance, let GOD be thanked and nobody but themselves be blamed. It is the English crisis ; and Europe waits to see whether the people of Great Britain will make the lame and impotent conclusion which has befallen in the otker cases. If they do, let them recollect, when the hoof is in their bowels, that they were warned of the danger, and exhorted to prepare. THE ROYAL REVENUE IN FRANCE. In a manner to make it pass unperceived, the French ministry has presented the project of law of the Civil List, mixed up in the ;discussion of the 'eerage. It is the same project as that of last year, upon which the ministry has reflected during six months ; reproducing it, such as it was, save a touching and very ingenious delicacy, of which we are not aware of a precedent. The ministry has occupied itself with simply specifying the domains which will continue to form the property ap pertaining to the crown. These domains, are the Royal Chateaus of the empire and of the restora tion ; the royal citizen cannot exist with less ; he cannot exist decently without the pomps of Napo leon and Charles X ! Who does not remember those first days of intoxication and folly, when it was agreed that the new royalty would 'content it self with two chateaus? The rest were to be sold ; 't was so much money which was to be paid into the treasury, and the land was to be given up to cultivation. Three months had not rolled on, when those economical projects went to defray the expense of the programme of the Hotel-de-Ville. The royal citizen will preserve then all these chateaus, of which the revenue amounts to 3,500,000 franca. That sum is insufficient to support them as may be easily conceived : for ' there are some of these chateaus which c on t a i n 1,500 bedchambers; but bow be contented with less ? There are also attached to these chateaus vast private parks, where the public, who pay for keeping up the 1,500 bedchambers, and all the rest, are not admitted, which is very just; for it was thus formerly, and the revolution of July was not made to alter that which formerly existed. In fact, there is found in the chateaus in question the Majesty of Souvenirs, for which we cannot pay too dear ; for it is evident by respect, that the people of July drove away the elder branch of the Bourbons to establish a new dynasty ; it will not be then any way inconsistent to demand from the people the fruit of its sweat, in the name of the old monarchy, of which it had believed to have swept away the dust! To colour the new project, a very delicate ex pedient has been formed. In the month of Decem ber last, eighteen millions were demanded. This time, nothing is demanded ; all is left to the goodness and generosity of the Chamber; it 111 the chamber which will fix the amount : give os the chateaus, the collections of jewels, &c. as to the money, any bagatelle you please, and we will be content ; only think of the honour of the throne; the majesty of souvenirs ; the dignity of Prance; and the splendour of commerce; for it is, recognized in the new political economy, that it is the money which is taken from the pocket of the tax-payer which causes commerce. to flourish. There is in this an admirable disinterestedness, resolved by the nomination of a commission, which the Ministry will contrive to obtain, in order that it may propose the amount which the ministry will no doubt give it beforehand. Then the Govern ment will demand nothing; it is the Chamber which will have pronounced ; it is the nation which would absolutely give its money. But pia tided it grants the chateaus ; that it grants mil-1 lions enough,what enormous concessions the mink try make to the country ! With what harshness it declares to royalty that the domain, of the Crown pay the local taxes, that there will not be established domains extraordinary, &c. ste. Hear what the Ministry says applicable to thee. cosa tunnel impositions : " As a good example, the King, like every other citizen, gives proof of submission to the tax, and he feels the weight of that charge. 7 Worthy and lofty • language! The King paying taxes With 'the taxes—giving the example of submission to the taxes—how incumbent is it upon all shifts, to lade* a Wit of honour to submit as .he deist ! Thelisyntent oftitxti is the read essential—it is /al which ministers demand ! The finances bef ore every thing ! ! As it is necessary to have a civil list, that the arts and commerce should flourish, the amount fix -41 by the Chamber will doubtless exceed considerablv eighteen millions ; for if we are well informed, the King, since the month of January, reccivell 1,500,000 francs permonth, which is at the rate ci 18,000,000 annually, and no one exclaims that commerce is in less distress. If, then, the Cham ber confines itself to granting the eighteen millions demanded last year, behold the splendour of cotn merce indefinitely adjourned. To be prodigal of millions to the crown, in order to let the merchants live, is the same thing as giving a hundred thou sand francs to an Archbishop, to become the simnel to the poor. The heavy taxes make bankrupts by hundreds, and poor by thousands ; and their pro duce accumulated in some few favoured hands, to tender the circulation general, simply procure , profit to some thirty merchants, and a scanty sub sistence to perhaps a hundred necessitous. Such are the benefits of these rich dowries. It is an incontestible axiom that the money which best profits a country is that which is left in the pockets of the tax-payers. The eclat of the throne, the splendour of the crown—the majesty of souve nirs—are words void of sense, created by courtiers to oppress the people; the royalty of July should lay aside these old worn-out expensive frippery ; it should shine from a more better and lasting eclat, by showing itself sparing of the sweat of the peo ple—by taking its models amongst those Princes, who are not citizen Princes— and who do not les s give an example of simplicity of manners, by look ing at the present King of England, contented with a civil list much inferior to that of bis prede cessor ; but the present King of England was not placed upon the throne by a revolution. issessmesemommimm MARRIED-0o Thursday, at St. Mary's, R.
