Not one of our Readers will accuse us of parasi tical feelings towards Mr. Wodehouse, when we de clare, that in our opinion, be was the only man who met the question fairly, boldly, and as every honest man ought to have met it—he declared he would rather never enter the House of Commons again than enter it under a necessity of supporting a pro position so monstrous, as a breach of faith with the public creditor—Mr. Woke equivocatingly said, be thought reduction of exposee ought to be enforced bef,re such a measure was had recourse to—and does Mr. Coke's memory serve him sufficiently to present to his recollection the fable of the carpenter who asked of the Wood to grant him a handle to his axe— which being granted, the whole Wood was felled by the aid of this foolish first-step. Let the Fine- . • holders be assured that their standing by while the Fundholders are robbed, will be the sure avant warier to the division of their lands—the Stocks are the handle—and if Mr. Coke consent to grant that boen to the Radicals, " the heir of Holkham," the “ child of his age," will never inherit the immense estates which his father has amassed—besides, what claim have the Agriculturists to so dishonest an in terference in their favour ? While the Fund holder was driven almost to pauperism by the ex cessively high price of provisions, did the farmers or the landholders ever volunteer to assist him No—instead of doing so, they wasted their enor mous incomes in dissipation and extravagance— they acquired habits of luxury and indolence which they now find it difficult, though necessary, to resign, but resign them they must—the GEWILIMAN, who was made out of the FA Ryan, must be re-transformed .-we must again see in our markets their wives and daughters, with their poultry and butter--dobbin must be mounted instead of a music stool, and Wafter all this, the Farmer can not live -why then, and not till then,must aemeilting be done by the legisla ture, but that somethisg must bear equally on all property—on landed estates and money in the funds —in short, a very heavy tax upon ell real property must be bad recourse to. - saameesuut German Papers to the 4th instant have just are rived. They contain an article from the Banks of the Danube, which mentions that a Plenipotentiary is about to be sent to Constantinople, who, without appearing u an Ambassador, or in the serviee of Russia, shall endeavour to preserve peace with the Porte. In ease this plan should be adopted, it is said that Plenipotentiaries will appear at Constanti nople in the name of the Congress, for the purpose of effecting arrangements between the contending parties, and that the principal Powers would sup port to the utmost the negociationa of the Plenipo tentiaries. Surely it would have been more desira ble if the Powers had interfered at the commence. ment of the war between the Turks and the Greeks, and have, by their endeavours, prevent the blood that has been spilled, and the revolting cruelties that have characterised the sanguinary warfare. We _ - doubt much if their intended negoeiations will sue teed, and should they not, if the snide in the Ger- ' man Papers be correct, the Emperor of Russia, ac cording to the right he assumed at the Congress of Verona, will actively interfere in the internal affairs of Turkey, and it is added, that in such cue an al. liance has already been upon between Russia, Great Britain, and ano a tte re r e O l f the great European Powers. Such, however, does not appear consistent with the present policy of our Government. _...,,.. .~. , THE NATIONAL, OP THB KANO.
