JAN. 7. THEE NATI' OtsiAL lIEGISTER. Victory ; and the enquiry is becoming now general, what is the cause of this, where is it to end, how can it be remedied, what shall we do, what can the parliament do? Shall we go to war again ? Shall we fight amongst ourselves ?—for none but our selves dare contend with us. The answer to all this is plain. The evils we describe are the evils of war, which at last are felt. It is the soreness of the hack from fatigue, it is the pain of our bruises, it is the anguish of our wounds which are felt now that we have a day of rest, and would have been felt even in the battle, if we had not conquered. We are like the Knights returning from the holy Wars ; we have subdued the Saracen, we have planted the standard of the Cross on the holy city of Jerusalem; but we have returned jaded and fatigued with our long marches ; and like them, we shall be found to have mort gaged our lands for our subsistence in the crusade. Like them, we return home to pay our debts, enjoy our honours, to find that Glory is bought with a price, and that the GUERDON of Chivalry is not to be gained without pain and sufli ring. Like them we must have patience. This is not all we shall find that twenty years have not passed away without some changes in society. Revolutions aie not always sudden; the wheel moves unperceived ; and Time has its innovations, which nothing can resist. 'the age of War has been that of Paper credit ; a new experiment has been made. Brake, were he alive, might exclaim, Joy to all nations, for the age of Chi. a' ry is returned, and all the Knights of Europe have unsheathed their swords for the daughter of MARIE ANTCINETTE. Since his time it has been an iron age ; and we have tried, like theA/ehensysts, to find a subAitute fur Gold. We have laughed at the wisdom of past times ; we have despised the practice of our forefathers, who dealt in hard metals, and • we have bought arid sold for paper promiss. We have deemed universal c , edit, universal capital. We are about to be unde ceived ; the del usiou is passing away, and we are now suffet ing what other nations have suffered, who have contracted large debts and paid them in 1 aper. There is a great convulsion thriughout be whole of our state from this single cause, that we have departed from the true measure of value, and called one pound notes money. We shall undertake, in a few papers, to discuss this subject, and to point out the nece•sity either of getting rid of one pound notes entirely, or of manufacturing them in such quantities as Islay enable us to pay our rents and taxes with facility. These are the only alternatives; and till one or the other is adopted, all the fruits of our victories will be disorder and discontent— !misery and confusion; destruction of capital and ruin of trade ; failure of taxes, and convulsions of the state. Adopt, on the contrary, the only measures which a knowledge of the evil will enable us to point out, and the rewards of victory may be peace and plenty, moral improvement, and public prosperity.
