Witness the French Revolution —vitae* the Spanish RCA olution now in progress. hthsinstance of returning fraternity in the two i g . i i; personages, the prospective advantage is the on to be relied on, as the overture for exchanging tact ca came from the highest of the personages. Th e ;Kt is as follows :—The Dukes of YORK and etatENCE expressed on Monday to the Duke of - Sussex the KING'S desire to see him at Carlton L *i Palice. and accordingly the interview took place Tuesday, and ended in that brotherly union 16 every loyal heart must desire to exist among 6 branches of the Illustrious Family. la a State jealous of its liberty, there ought wrer to be wanting men ready to reclaim the Con on when violated by either king, Ministers, vorropt Parliament, and to awaken the peo their lethargy, to guide them in difficult and bring them back to their rights. But human mind, when too long intent upon abject, becomes weary of it, all is undone, if, • • abspateicaties sea eat tba_people. their, •11 be exhausted, and their zeal extinguished rendered inert. This unfortunately has hap ned to us, in some degree, in our late dissen tions. Inundated with so many writings weekly, 4:ly, and hourly, we are now in danger of Seen; exhausted by our own efforts ; and in that else, we shall be reduced to such an apathy tuotbing will he able to fix Our attention. It of no less concern too, that the public cause Aoki be pleaded in a masterly manner. Whereas ■ay writers have stood forth the champions of arty, with no other qualification than an ardent sell • and thereby, for want of judgment or ex perteate, have prejudiced it.—Mere inflammatory productions, without assistance of lOgic, do not pernade, they do not even beneficially animate the reader; and the alarm they inspire among the timid, and the acerbity they create in the powerfully tioi.tile, do perhaps much more harm than good ib the end. Mr. ll(JaitousE is proceeding in his laudable re late!** into law lore. The weapon lie has taken le band, against the odious pretences of privilege old precedent, cannot be objetted to by the con tentious part of the Bench itself.

The IPrisdiction which the House of Commons has iislised is so obnoxious to the feelings of every au who has reflected on the Constitution of his ftalitry, and so repugnant to that reason which everyman is or ought to be endowed with, that we M 'nrprised that the SPEAKER, who is singled out 'knot the Members at large as a personage endowed lith lure learning, judgment, reflection, and know *of earlianientary rights and just privileges, 111, 41 hare coantenanced such an outrageous ma lea.

We shall, u we hare before observed, not let this important subject sleep under our pen, till we hale awakened in the minds of the public a due' sense of its weight in the scale of libration in the different powers constituting the Government. STOCK EXCHANGE, ONE O•CL(CK. The Funds did not continue long in the flourish ing condition we mentioned yesterday : for, towards the afternoon, the principle operators finding them selves heavy bunk, the closing of their accounts turned the market, which, with some sellers, broucht the price to 681, at which they le!t off, buyers. This morning they opened at EN: which is now about the price, the market looking very . steady. The French papers speak or twenty thousand troops being put under the command of the Duke d'Angotileme, and sent to the frontiers of Spain. as a corps trohaerration. Every, the feehlett, politician knows what the intelligence means. We do hope, however, that the King of France, though he has not travelled far or much, has yet made some useful obserrations on men and things. His Nta., jesty will not. therefore, we are persuaded, propose nor permit stick a body of troops to be sent to the foot of the Pyrennees, and especially under the command of one of the Princes of the blood of the Bourbons. As well might the good Louis the XVIII. think of sending the Viscount de Chateau brian t as an Ambassador Extraordinary, or Plenipo tentiary to the Court of Madrid at this critical juncture. M. CHATE% VBRIANT. of ancient literary celebrity, now become the political (Mn Quixotte of France, has dreamt of a thousand democratic windmills, which in his waking reveries he is attacking. Cohatitationnel,in its poignant satire, but which is bytter, in his well-directed censure on the noble Viscount's demand of four-score expiatory victims on the ilst January., adds, that, in this charitable view, so conformable to the genius of tAriationity, it is to be feared that the bloody expiation might be only a simple prelude to the catastrophe of the intended oligarchy tragedy, which might bear a similitude with that of &tent Bartholo►new. We copy the following °Nervations from The Exeter .41:fred. They convey a just censure on those measures which have been chiefly instrumental in occasioning the distresses which now overwhelm this country : From time Throne, his late Majesty, in his first speech, deliurateil the TLOCRISIIING state of his king- doni—descanted on its HAPPINESS, prided himself on its LIBERTIES and laws—hut had retnrnieg reason, before bis Majesty departed from this life, given him porter to retrace past events, to remember the scenes of Isis Tooth —could he hare seen the condition to which this king dom is reduced—heard the mournful tale of the friendless' sailor, starving in our streets—seen the weaver bilis thg. jperketjp6cgfor want of i ja ,, x;;;;. „ . , and t labourer let old Tenire 'IMF 1 31ajesty have beholden the rights of Englishmen openly trampled upon tinder the base pretence of pp.r• crier the Cuestitittio"—the Press hound in fetters, in lied*.

It is' reported the Phaeton is to proceed to the Medi terranean, to bring the Queen to England." The new reign, it is said, will usher in four Dew Dukedoms, in the persons of the four following Noblemen, vit. Stafford, Buckingham, Hertford, and Hastings. In addition tb the names mentioned of indivi duals present at thel'oronation of our lainenksil Sovereign, stands Mr. Francis Hankwirod, one of the Royal musi cians, who is now in good health. and in his titsth year. Mr. Hackwood was in the procession at ,the funeral of George the Second, and at drat time was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Musicians. He was horn in the parish of St. George's, Hanover-square, in the year 1731, and has long been considered as one of the greatest pedes trians, for his age, in the United kingdom. There is an old adage, which says, " M ben peacocks die, crowned heads fall." It is a fact that all the peacocks, kept at the Palace of Carlton-house, died during the late intense frost ; anti the 'legater verifica tion of the adage, at the present moment, forms one of the principal tea-table ina dies among the matrons of St. James's. Mr. Cawthorne has declared his intention of again standing the event of a poll for Lancaster, and two other candidates are expected to otter themselves. An active canvass has already commenced the respective friends throughout Devonshire, by of Mr. Bastard, Sir Thomas Ackland, and Lord Ebrington. M.

Mr. Denman opened his argument by observing, that if he should be able to pteve that the defendants, in common with the other Liverymen of the City of London, had a right at a public Hall, to enter ii:ion the discussion of public grievances. which hot no reference to the particular object for which thy, were convened, then the gentlemen on the other side would be put in a very awkward situation, inasmuch as it would show them to have been guilty of the very of fence which the, charged upon their opponents. Mr. Mu mon Cues referied to a similar case, which had taken place i n the year 13. when it was referred to the Re corder of the City to decide, whether the Liverymen of the City, when essombled to elect their Chief Magistrate, hail a right to proceed to the consider,stion of other &after..

The gentle- men who funned the procession consisted of a t le as t fifjp, and every thing was conducted with the greatest order and regnlarity. The bells of the city were tolled in the forenoon fur twu hours. The day was remarkably line. We learn from Paisley, that the sncression of his Royal Highness tieorr, late * Prince of Wales, to the Imperial Crown of the loiter' Kingdoni, was proclaimed there, on Friday, with due solemnity. Th e p eu el am aion of his Majesty King George IV. was made at the market-cross and pier-head of Dunbar, on Saturday, by the Sheriff Substitute of Ilauldingtoo shire.

Nothing. can appear more favourable than the lands after the breaking up of the late frost. The snow fell and melted deeply, and all its salubrious particles have fattened and enriched the soil. The last week, which has been dry, yet of mild air, without frost, ex , apt to a small degree on Friday in the morning early, 1 has enabled the farmers to see the good effects of the snow,w hich they much wanted last year. Theyoung crops are now springing ; the vegetable gardens are promising much luxuriance, and the grounds show well for receiv ing early seeds ; anal although the pasture seldom grows till March, yet its prospect is very favourable, espe cially to those which have been =mired before the mow.
