Agiiigibui.iii( Sir F'eaiicie ou'ide. it. - cults worthy of• the orators tef the human racea—llow ever.as to the first, bilr.Walloget snored for the re-appoint went of the CoMmittee on 'Pariiiget Tilde. This gen- Annan his belonged to the Bpardif trade; and, we interpret the speech of Mr. Canning. to: man that Mr. Wallace, who stood next in place to Mr. Robinson, bad i , resigned, because Mr. fluttitisron was brought in and put over his heal.—All manner of praises were, upon this occasion, bestowed on Mr. Wallace, by Mr. Baring, Mr. Ricardo, Mr. Botterworth, Mr. Wilson and Mr. lime. Tbis gentleman has been pursuing a new sys tem of corstnerce, or, rather, of commercial regulations and law,. He is a Scotchotan, and like all Scotch poli ticians, withont one single exception appears to bo wholly insensible of the benefit of the Navigation Laws. The system which he has pursued, therefore, is a system which mist, If persevered in, destroy the wheleof those Laws. He appears to have been a very active officer; and we d'art say that he may merit. all the praises be . stowed on his intelligence and his seal; but we are at the same time, not the less perfectly satisfied that the system which he has been pursuing would, if pushed to its fall extent, totally destroy the naval power of this country, and render it what the Dutch long have been. ...This is a subject, with which many of our readers are not much acenainted.— --A f..w words, however, if we can contrive to place them well, will give to those readers a sufficiently clear view of deg matter. Commerce and Navigation, when those words are applied as in the present case, differ in this the first relates to the affairs of the man who deals in the goody that ate carried in ships; and the second relates to the affairs of the men who own the ships themselves. It was the opinion of Our sensible and public spirited ..,___onerioys_,,..9kat to have numerous ships and numeroos sallorsoiad tatlier:leraidnosreateree, erns letter ler elee Nation thait to have boundless Commerce, with comps• fatively few ships aid sailors. Out of this principle arose those laws, called the navigation laws, the great object of which was, to keep up the number of ships and sailors. These laws are numerous, and contain a great diversity -at regulation ; but the whole have a tendency to vanse English ships and sailors to be employed in pre ference to the ships and sailors of other countries. For instance, they lay a heavier duty upon the same goods brought into our Ports by Foreign Ships. This is only one thingonention?d merely as a speciusen.Now, there is no doubt that this has a tendency to abridge Commerce. if Commerce be abridged, so much is not gained by it. But our sensible ancestors preferred the smaller gain with the greater security and power,to the greater gain, with the smaller security and power.' n our present dope tate circumstances, loaded with Debt, as we are, and anxious, as the Ministers have been, to augment the revenue, there has for some time, been going on, i gentle chipping away, of these navigation laws; and Mr. - WALLACE appears to• have been the thief instrument in this work. Mr. Hoots compli mented Mr. IVattacx on having done so much to remove restrictions; so much to enable our merchants to c.c. art ell their. energies, " and to put forth all their strength in the pursuit of' their own interests." Alas ! Mr. Hume, that strength most, necessarily, produce weakness to the country. It is, in fact, a barter of power, permanent, solid power, fur temporary gain ; for the gain must be temporary, seeing that, without the power, it cannot be preserved. Whether the Ministers Mean to pat a stop to this destruction of the naviga- Ilion laws; is .mere than we .can say ; but, though we i have no doubt of Mr. Wattact's beteg a very upright and clever man, we ere quite sure that hie :schemes ,zonldioe'destrative to the naval power of the mutter.' lamtne, the talk Abuut Mr. WALLACZ. Mr. RICARDO said something about* exports, which has drawn forth a set eulogiuta from the Morning Chtoniele, which eulogium .conlal not hare been much Meier,' even if Mr." Ri cardo had written it himself; or, which is much about the same thine, if it hail come from the pen of the a ' SCOISMak." • The Chronicle imputes to Mr. RICARDO. a sort of oracular discovery; namely, that a superiority of I , xports conipared with imports is no proof of gain to tie country. A discovery, which, it is said, the great PITT could not make. -It was made, however, in the second part of Paine'i Rightsof Has,",published just on e wad thirty years ago; in that book, against which a Royal Proclamation was issued ; for publishing which hook, some one or other is regularly put In prison about once a month; in that book, of which mere than a bun g aired and fifty thousand copies have been published in England; in that book..the thing is explained in a man net, which Me. RICARDO could not imitate, even with the Chronicle and the Seolamon to assist him, if be were • . to sit down and try at ,it, till the, day when the Jews ahall be rettoredsed their heritage, that lamed .day, when they shall Oise sent off packing bash to miens, and cease its leas the blood of this galled pad sin pitied naticta.--Upos this occasion, toti, AT f.

The Chronicle has columns enough, Gov knows: it has pens enough, too, of both Jew and Christian. Thepart of the Register relating to this matter would lie in the space of half a column. Let it, then, if it dare, copy that short part of the Register; and let us see what Scotland, united with Jerusalem, has to say, in the way of answer. Never, in , oar lives, did we decline the challenge of the OhPonicle ; and never has it accepted of any one challenge of ones. Here we give it soother cballene t and. if it burl not the courage to accept df est.if, it continue to put forth these as orto4l44 . ltitill be treatetslitb that stogjpetaad korth Wfaitilt 'will 'acridity merit. We dolittaroat _ _ if to Aff a. We stand in no need of puffing. ,Events have putrid ate enough. But we want it to act fairly ; and, above all things, we want it to desist from its en. deavours to sacrifice the gentlemen, the Yeomen, the Tradesmen, the journeymen and labourers of England, to that band of Jews and Jobbers, who are actually sucking awny their substance, and driving them from their mansions and their home sheds, and reduce ing the industrious millions to starvation.-- -The dther subject which came before the House last night, became of importance, on account of the op position which Mr. Huai met with from Mr. BROUGHAM and Sir FR COM BURDITT ! The subject was this : Lord BIiRIiFFORD has been appointed to be Lieutenant- General of the Ordnance. This is a place with a great salary attached to it. A Committee of military enquiry long ago reported that this place was useless. Mr. Hulls shelved that this Lord BERESTORD already re• eaves from the public four thousand, four hundred, and ' nine pounds a year. This new salary would make it ' sir thousand pounds a year.--Mr. Mug, therefore, s eeing, he said, the enoesnous sums the Beresford family already received, *Mr. Hume wished to grant no supply of money to the Ministers, " uotil the House Lad information, why this place was given contrary to the recommendation of the Committee of Military enquiry." Nothing in this world could be more reasonable; nothing more consonant with all the principles of the Constitution of England, which, as Lord STANHOPE observed in the House of Commons, the other night. says that redress of grievances is to go be fore supply. Now, then, let us bear what Mr. CANNING said. It was this : that the post had been offered to the Earl of HOPIITOWN and to Lord HILL, and that they had refsee,d d; and that this was a proof that the office was it girikkftene ritrapttoreOltrewt Such * pouf, was never was ofered In this world before. Oh! what a volume of sarcasms was here to be poured out by Mr. BROUGHAM! Here was "matter for a May morning," indeed ! Well, come, let its get on, to hear what Mr. BROUGHAM' said ! Alas,l he regretted that his Hon. Friend should bave brought forward " so import " ant a motion in such a way"! Mr. BROUGHAM, in deed, wanted information about the office ; but he thought, " there was something harsh as well as ineon " :latent, in proposing that the House should withhold " all supplies, until they were:pat in possession of in for. 4 4 illation, which had never been mentioned until that " morning."—Mr. HGME manfully answered that he only wanted a delay of forty eight hours in granting the supply; and that it would he better to leave the House altogether, and let the Ministers do what they liked, if such a delay was not to be obtained. for such a reason. The House was go ing to divide; bat Mr. WARRE having said that he liked the practice of giving notice o Motions, the Honourable Mr. BEN NIT declared that he would vote for Mr. Hum, if he chose to divide the house, upon every item of supply ; and as to the prac tice of giving notices, it was of no use but to enable the Ministers to bring forward their sweeping Majori , ies.- 46 Mr, BROUGHAM then said, that "God forbid that be " should object to this, or any other, measure of economy. 44 All that be wished to do, was, to disentangle the sub " ject, from that of supply," which, by the bye, was precisely what Mr. CANNING wished for.—Mr. Am- CROMBIS was of the same opinion with. Mr. BROUGHAM. " He had no . wish tv underrate the value of his Honour. " able . Friend's proposition, FAR FROM IT; he 44 wished that proposition to come befor•.the house in' " such a shape, that it could be Wadies* folly and " freery."----And pray, Mr. Alrettcuostits, when would this be better done than now ?—Nerw, thee, we will not be charged with misrepresenting Sir FRANCIS BUROITT. We will insert his words, and the whole of them, just as we find them, in the Morning Chronicle.-- "Sir P. BURDETT thought himself hound, upon most " occasions, to support the Member for Aberdeen, who In " his teal to save the public money really deserved support. .64 Still he could not go along with him Its the present ease. 4 It would be 6w/insistent in the House, on the one band, to "cull upon his Majesty in the present critkot state of Eli " rope, to support the honour and dignity of the nation, and " on the other to withhold the supplies necessary for this " purpose. The stopping of the supplies was, as it were, " thenttimate power of the House of Commons. and should "not be resorted to so boog es there were any other means "of redress. The Commissioners deserved credit for their " recommendation with regard to this office; and the Hon. " Gest. deserved commendation for his seal In see what " they had proposed, carried into effect. He (Sir F. B.) " bettered that the Hon. Gent. had grounds for what he had " stated; but then he ought to beware that in the manner " in which he pursued his object, he did not go beyond what " was warranted by prudence and discretion. If be had a " hope of carryiog this measure, he would risk it upon sit " issue of this description. Considering the state of En " rope. thb relation in which this count r y stood, an i the _" secrinces which it might be called upon to m ake he h ed " his Hon. Friend mould not press it. He would do w to " consider the state in which he placed his friends, and on -0 that moist be induced to withdraw his eseadmeet." There, ye stupid, ye grunting, Ye grumbling Reform ers, who bass been sayitig that the Hossontabisi Baronet - Sever did -any thine; Is not .tbere soot! serves supplant" Ise iota that his seal " de. :erre. commendation ;" he says, that he " be lieves" .that Mr. Home." has grounds" for what he states. There ! ye grumbling dogs, is here not support of Mr. licate ! The worthy Baronet dors, indeed, seem to object to jest of the thing; he is for doing it in ano ther faunae,. and is, in •case like this, for proceeding with great "prudence sad discretion".—Now, with all submission to the superior judgment of this Great Re former, and great historical Constitutional Lawyer, contend, that in matter, in manner, in time Mr. Wares motion was perfectly consonant with all the principles and practices of the English con stitution, which always said, " grievances before sup ply;" for hsw are grievances to be redressed, if the money were given first ?—The close of the Honourable Baronet's speech, is worthy of attention. He looks at the state of Europe, and at the sacrifices which we may be called upon to snake. So that he has war in his eye! And the Ministers.if they have it nut in their eye will hi great fools indeed if they have not it upon their tongeea, whenever there is soy talk of reducing taxation !—We de not believe, however, that the landlords who are not tat! eaters, and not fundholders and stock jobbers, will• be diverted from' their endeavours to reduce taxation, by any talk about wer.—SirFrancis desired Mr./lusts to cob alder. "the state in which he placed HIS FRIENDS." This was a very good hint ; but the worthy Baronet does not seem to have stated tape those friends are! Mr. Hung has sagacity enough, however, we dare say, to know Isis friends from his foes, to distinguish those who really applaud him for his great industry and uncon querable perseverance; se gaeity quite enough to dis tinguish these, hie friends, from those insincere pretend ers to friendship, whom he finds here and there, about tits country, aid so forth ; and who, busy, or selfish, or unjustly ambitious, or all these, at one and the same time, themselves, would, Instead of seeing him bestir himself as be does, for the benefit of the Nation, gladly see bite a rowel ATROCIOUS CALUMNY. We are about to give a specimen of that atrocious calumny; that matchless venomousness, which has for a long time marked the character of the Old Times newspaper. One would think that even devils were in capable of suck malignity as that of which we are about to give an instance.—Every body that knows any thing of Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire knows something of the respectable family of Fordbam. They are gene rally yeomen of considerable substance, and, as far as we have always heard, of even rare integrity and honour. They are numerous ; and have invariably been steady and zealous friends of civil and religions liberty. We have bad no personal communicatios with any part of this family for many years; bat, we have always heard of the family of that %Lids we have now stated. At the kleetfordeistre meeting the other day, Mr. - George Fordbam moved certain resolutions to be added to the Petition, which, oceordlos to (60 Report, were seconded by Mr. Edward Fordhans, and oppleig by Mr. Kin Fordbate. Fordhans's resolutions prayed the Howie to proceed to " the abolition of sinecures and unmerited pensions ; to .. the reduction of the salaries of public offices; the re• &idiot of the army ; and the sale of public proper " ty."—These are the resolutions as stated in the Old Times itself. Our readers will see bow far they fall short of the petitions actually carried in several of the coun ties; bow far they fall short of the petition in Carusar theosire ; of Mr. Charlton's petition in Herefordshire; of the petition of Somersetshire ; and,in Abort, of every peti tion except that of Yorkshire. They were, it appeors, lost in Hertfordshire, only because the meeting was assembled to deliberate on nothing but Reform of Par liament. How moderate they were, our readers them selves will perceive; and now let these readers of the vile Old Times read, while they blush for themselves, the abase which this villainous paper has heaped upon the the family of Fordham.—We are about to lay two paragraphs before our readers ; one published on Monday, and the other on Tuesday last: .- M•NDAY'II PARR .--" The proceedings at the noun " ty meeting of Hertford present another instance of the " happy triumph of constitutional principles and moderate " reform, over furious, stupid radicalism, on the one side, " and corrupt servility on the other. The meeting had but " one Jacobi* and one servile speaker—men of about the " same calibre as to intellect and character, as the two fag " ends of their respective parties. If we had not rendered " Cobbett, alias Castles, a person to be deprecated on these " occasions, probably he might have exhibited in the place " of, or in union with Fordham ; and if the more elevated " serviles of the county had chosen to appear, Price would " not have been listened to, The resolutions really passed "are worthy the attention of the countryand of Parliament. " One of the gentlemen who attended on our part was so "respectably assured of the truth of the following stale " meat, that, horrible as it may seem, we are inclined to '• give it publicity; for the purpose (if uncontredieted) of " elucidating t h e real character of the Radicals with Mr " their affected skims to humanity. It was stated to our " friend, then. that not only the person who moved the "furious resolutions. but that his Whole family had beaten' " down the wages el their poor labourers—even those with "wives and children—to the lamentable pittance of Pre , " shillings and sixpence a week: and when the geatleusee " to whom this was related, being incredulous, exclaimed, " • Good God ! are there no Clergy, no Magistrates in that '" neighbourhood, to stop such cruelty ?' The answer was, •• • Tne Clergy, you see, they wish is get rid of ; and as to " ' the Magistrates, there are but few in the remote part of " • the county in which the property (for they have property) "• is situated.' We make this statement as we have heard " it: we hope, for the sake of human nature, we shall be " able to give it an authentic contradiction ; or. if not, that " such people will not in future be suffered to infest county " meetings." TS ' PAR LO RAPH.—" 111 the comment on the speech " of Mr. Fordham, who moved the amendment at the " Hertford meeting, The Times of Monday spoke of his "family in terms which might imply that they acted In •• concert with him. This is far from being the case. Except !' his own brother, Mr, Edward Fordhatn, who on this and similar occasions has come forward as his second, Mr_ "George Fordham, junior, has been disclaimed by every " member almost of a very numerous family. Tney, who •• are zealous friends to the cause of civil and religious li " berty, have been not a Mlle annoyed and mortified t►at " one of their name and kin should wine forware as the "(Hee* of CobbeU, by whom he has had the honour to be "praised. Mr. 'Clog Fordham, of Roysten, the head of " the family, has bees repeatedly under the necessity of " oppoeing,in public, hie nephew,vrith whoa he has 40 per " tonal intercourse. bat with whom he and the rest of the " Wally have occasioaaily the inevitable ialsfottgate of be " her confoended."

But, after all, it is the incomaarab;y 4'w; motive; it is the matchless malignity, which is ijt.t thing to be dwelt upon here.—=No knowleers' at all have these malignant wretches of Mr. 6'orge Ford:dint ; but the monsters have seen in the ST.4: - .1. MAN and in the Yronian's Gazette, two very able letisrs written by this gentleman on the comparative merits•of Mr. Cobbett's and Mr. Attwood's plans for reiievibg distresses of the country, in which letters the writer • gives the preference to the plan of Mr. Cohbett. No ashen earthly offence hat this gentleman given to these trod.: ing wretches of the Old Times ; no other c tuse of anfti; has be given them. Nis letters were in a style the atoq inoffensive that can be imagined ; and yet be and alibin family along with Linsowe to be harrassed, and. if pos sible, to be mordeted ib reputation by these wretches of unparalleled rialignity. The ta uth is. they are oinking in sale. They *scribe that sinking to the pelt nf Mr. Cobbett. They are a set of money loving wretohes; And indeed, the money is necessary:to their existent's ; but • • when it is considered the great injuries which Oil 04 Times newspaper has inflicted on the public. in general ; when it is considered the terrible mischief* which it has lately done to the holders of Spanish Bonds; when it is considered how ignorant, how stupid, how hase and how' prostituted a vehicle it has been; when thete things are ‘ considered, can any reasonable and jttst man blame kr Cobbett for his endeavours; for his strenuous and suc cessful endeavours to pull down such a paper. Yet, supposing such endeavours to be unjustifiable. Are the family of Fordisam to be torn to pieces because this vil lain chooses to call one of them a disciple of Mr. Cal' bett ? Say that Mr. George Fordhatn is in , error. Why not show the errors of Mr. George Fordham ; and not tear out his heart and that of his family along with it? if he be a disciple of Mr. Cobbett, it is notorious that he is, in that respect, only upon a footing with thousands, and indeed, with millions. Thete thou: sands and millions too, may be in error. But are they to be annihilated; are they and their families to bare their reputation murdered, merely because they bold opinions in common with a person whose hostility is . fatal to this Old Times newspaper? We leave thp answer to an honest public but, we cannot leave it thga• • without observing that that man, who, after this, can , give encouragement to so infers:tout a publicatiowas this, cannot have very deeply engraven on his mind any of those principles hitherto held sacred amongst all the "—stet of mankind.
