I •• tilt STATESMAN cable beynnd all movie in the history of Ibis et of any other country. Oar jails full, our workheises mere than foil, and the horde.. working labourers on our land, and in oar manufsetoriet, not able legit, their offspring by a fourteen hoots' toil every day, the commotion human fnod wittiest pat ish help!!! To be told, then, by a Court-a -rites, that Ville Bank be not supported in its nefarious traffic, the C mint of thisgrest country must fall wish it, is an insult of the first magnitude to every honest man in Great Britain. A Government which wends to the Antipodes, to vast ostensive and populous regions scattered over the intermediate space mast brook, actually become bankrupt, if a specs. Wive Incorpnration, composed of speculating indivi. dealt, ha not longer allowed so ►nrich itself at the espence of ell that is valuable In any nation, vit. the labour and the ingenuity of a nation ! What 'sold he the true value, if brought to the test, of ten thousand, or ten millions of such Winos, in blue and buff, as paraded Ilenriesso-street on Monday lost, l as compared tots tenth of their number, though its tat. tired garments, holding the plough or striking the hammer oaths anvil? If our Ministers have let things raw to the length which this Courier alarms, then Is the sea of their crimes a ►undred times greeter than hes bean imagined, and impeached they ought to be in. 'tastily. We do impeach them accordingly, before t►e Connell of the whole nation—thet is, before the opinion of the nation—unless they disclaim the an. natural, the wicked slliance, which is likely to be so fatal to one of the parties, thus infamously coupled together. W. cannot be satisfied with cold and mo derate terms while we are treating a sebject of sech paramount importance. What mast the basest Gen. demon of landed property, inesperienced iu loin. trickeries, think—what most the merchant now, es be concludes sheltered from accident, sod lie. pug in the bosom of his family on his little Tasocaduss, thick—what the industrious tradesman, retired from the hazards of bad debts, 4c. think es Ibis ? Most these, and all the other dosses, making up the cnmmunity of these realms, beat once involved is the shame and lose of the Bank, of whose pato (too long esjoyed)they were never asked to partake? Must they be made penitent eriminis In the marinas concern which is now being laid open in the world? Even now, while we are writing, cease credibly in. formed that suspicion is awakening every where; confidence in Bank.notes hes obsoletely gives way. In the neighhoorltrood of Unclog, that is, fo► twenty miles round, Banknotes cannot be changed without a shilling is given as a premium!! -.CP..- THP. FUNDS. After what has been said •n Bank notes, It is no wonder that the different Mocks should be affected by the rumours: for though the Batik is not answer• able in one shilling fo► the debt of the nation, the interest of which they pay for ■ per center, yet as It has long been known that a criminal conimunica- Won has been maintained between our oeret►icious Ministers end the Lady of Threedneedle.street, and the world not being sure that a divorce can take place without ruin to both parties, people will naturally pot a ►ad construction oo what is so earefelly bush ed up. If all had been right our Court Oracles would have spoken, and our Gou would have reported the good tidiegs. No wonder then that the Fends have fallen so low, and that no endeavour ca• raise them. They are jest as they were yesterday, and it is a wonder that they are so. The whole Nark et has rather a downward cut. For it is to be observed that many confound the Bask of England with the Government •f Eng land. It ought atot to be so, and w• say con. found those who have contributed to make the matter so understood. This idea, however, has had he effect, and is manifesting itself at this moment. Tin Stocks are gone down and so is the credit of the Hank-note. This very day, a Mr. D—, a very eminent Sturk.broker, could not induce a customer of his from Hertfordshire to accept of a payment in those notes, without receiving ono shilling in lb* proud as a premium. Advice. have been received from the Commander. inaChief of lilt expedition against New Grenada, dated the Ilth of January, from New Providence— Ii appears that he was to I•ave Nesse, on the follow ill day, with Colonel O'H*a* and his personal staff. They were Its rendrzvoes at Old Providence. It is asserted that a part of his force most have, by this time, been in the ocropatinn of Santa Martha, as General lioatxxo bed withdrawn his troops from she place, and the militia, it was espected, would wake no resistance. To rai. EDITOR or TME STATESMAN. Stn,—A paragraph in the .Horning Chronicle of this day, attributes the injury received by some Gen tlemen at the close of the Poll yesterday, to the in stigation of the ipeeches made by the Radical Re formers. It is eery natural that the authors of all the outrages Ihat IMP disgraced the vitinity of Ce• vstlf-eurdon daring the latter days of the Election, should be eager to impute to their opponents a crime originating solely with themselves. But it may be useful to the close of troth to refer your Readers to t►e following extract from the speech made be Mr. iloatiouss, at the close of the Pell on Monday lest. et which lime the Committee for conducting the Election of that Gentleman had received the certain intelligence of a gag( of prizefighters and other ridileat, having been hired by the friends of Mr. LANs:—" Ile solemnly recommended to thew to refraln . frons any breaches of the peace, and to leave smelt acts to their opponents. Above all things, he begged of them to be tranquil, and assured thew that they should see justice done upon the afeadere who now assail them." See Mr. Ilnenousr's speech in the British Press for March 2, 1819. It may been. cessery to add, that Mr. flontiouso's Committee are in possession of the list of the above-inentioneJ rot. 6aos, divided into s►parate pugs, under respective Captains, some of them hired to groan end hoot tier ing the speeches of Sir FRANCIS Buiturre end Mr. II ostiousx ; the °theist° fight and battle the Electors proceeding to the Pell for Mr. lloanovas, o►, in the exact ;cords of the institutions given to the., 6 ' to pwnch their bloody heads well." It is ante►ie's to every Individual of the vest mul titude who were present yesterday in Covent-garden, that Mr. I.Asra's bledgeewuren, a band distinguished by their rags end rolls* lonia, commenced the ef figy in Henrietta-street. It is equally notorious that the Bliss end Buff Gentlemen on horseback, armed with stick., rode in span the defenceless crowd; and that the indignatioo of the insulted end hitherto peaceable People was not excited until repeated acts of violence from the hired mob had touted t►em in their own defence.

An Opposition Lord, the other day, in the House of I'ee►s, said, ' the se verity of punishments prevented perilous from pro secuting,' and yet the complaint is the number of prosecutions.
