XII.] [ Puicz 9id. 430Ittical lartxospecr. EVERY man who feels the sli;;litest interest in public affairs, will not fail to be impressed with the extraordinary character and awfulness of the times through which we arc now passing. The news of this last week needs lint be simply recorded to rouse the must torpid from their apathy, and to make them open their eyes to tho prospect that lies before them. 'The 'great County Meeting at York, held for the sole purpose tO.' addressing the Prince Regent in a Petition for a full and fair enquiry into the fau'l proceedings at Manchester, conducted with a modc:nition suited to the solemnity of such a cause, with an ability which has excited universal admi ration and with a courtesy towards those who dif fered in opinion, which even the most bigotted par • tizan could not but honour and admire, has been fol lowed by the dismissal of Lord Fitzwilliam from the Lord Lieutenancy of the West Riding of that C.nity, for no other crime than that he personally attended those deliberations. To what lengths will not the .impotency of passion and the despair of wicked men sometimes dri‘c them ! Can n good cause, even for .a moment need such measures to support it ? Lord Fitzwilliam is seventy-two years of age, his life has been a course of tried and unsullied loyalty, of services conferred upon, his country of the most signal and valuabie kind. He has'been deservedly looked up to by moderate men of every party as a rare exam *of genuine patriotism and unsullied virtue. For men, such as compose our present administration to presume, to dare, to wreak their paltry vengeance upon such a character, to flatter themselves that it van do either credit to the work they have under taken, or discredit to the olject of their wrath ; is to suppose that the reason of mankind is gone. and that justice and injustice have changed their sub stance and qualities each - with the other. No, that venerable Nobleman, bony retire to the enjoyment , plan unsullied fame, which will never attach to his opposers, and remember with conscious satisfac tion the wise remark of Addison, •" hi a proud 411.1 inq iun. Mien bear sway, " 'rite rt,t ul bottom, - is•a private statism." The other grand im.asure ofh;s NiajesWs Ministers, and a very fit accompaniment it is, is to cull out the Chelsea Pensioners, and enerease the companies of marines, to tin garrison duty, and thus leave the r;gulur army disposable tbr the open and avowed object of governing the people by the sword.— Eleven thousand six hundred men are to be imme diately added to the army ; whilst not a single object can be pointed out for their services, but their fiwn fellow subjects, and this heavy expellee is to be incurred at a time when the revenue of the country is not only inadequate even to defray the interest of the poblie-debt, but week after week , most rapidly and alarmingly decreasing. The funds are day by day depreciated, public credit has re ceived a shock unknown in any yeritsl of former days of tranquillity and peace, and in short, the whole fabric of Society amongst us is shook to its very centre. Two things :dente remain to our wretched and harassed eoantry, to relieve us from evil councils, or to prepare 11r a tremendous struggle Law and force are now in direct opposition ; they are engaged on contrary sides and girding them selves in all the habiliments of conflict. English men never submitted without a struggle to the loss of freedom, they were never patient under the yoke of slavery They arc a loyal people, and a generous kindness may -attach allegiance, but severity can never properly enforce it, and woe he to those rulers who think that the crown can be upheld, the veneration due to constituted aathority be long maintained when every feeling of love and gratitv'le and contentment are banished and destroyed. We are, however, fully sensible of the difficulty with which Government has now to struggle. Vc see with regret a very• nu•nerous body of men in the State whose turbulence is and whose designs no man attempts to , Bat the hest and wisest of our laws were tempestuous times, and were expressly tweet the much looked fin. exigencies. The of • Britain is not a Summer binl, that brilliant plu mage in fine weather, and its carols in calm and sunshine, and then ashen the storm blows, or the frosts but is a noble and massy fabric., which proof aga ius t every attack until it shall ' and dela pid3ted by those whose maul duty it is to preserve and guard it. then bet be left fairly and honestly to its own , • energies.

Lord Mil en, attended by several Gentle men of respectability, was resent, and aildrcssed the assein'tly.
