Oar political Readers will discover in our French intelligence of the proceeding. in the Chamber of Peer., respecting the Loa of Elections, that the new 'Winkler. are not firm in tl•eir situations; that they foend themselves in a minority of forty votes!

The most extraordinary part of this ebrept bislang is, that it seems to bare been 'introduced by the Ma- Rog. ethos. Wit will endeavour to sweet' this mystery, and explain it to our Readers. Of this we are coo. winced, that till the Goverrinsmsts of Europe, whether Kingly or Republican, are mere completely based upon the principl►s of the Rights of Man, they an. not be considered as stabile.

What ilaceraing was, solo( things I. this slate, can raped 16ea to nation long so : what compassionate wan nn wish that they shoold! I Timely Reform, in all countries and at all 'sumo, obviates the necessity of a Revolution. Of the Weeesserrce ELECTI•II there is not room to say much. It cannot bet be confessed, that the Friends to Reroute were dispirited yesterday at the Nate of the Poll; end yet the aspect of G&W was wine fee sr Ws days ago. The Whig Aristocracy are powerful, and they have quick intelligence and, speedy communication. Many people think it 1011 1 be wonderful, indeed, if Mr. illonuousr should be returned, seeing so vast, so nenoleral se alliance formed against him. Whig and Tory united! Nothing bat the agile. ties *ached by the un►appy session of certain friends to Refers, could has held them together is wishes fee e day even. It is by agitation alone that ell ■od water can tippet• homogeneous for a me. meet. All is, however, sow at rest, and ire have hope to see the Father of Reform personally vote et length for the seams of what the children of Reese have so much at heart. Suc► a step would endear threat:silent patriot to the political affections of bis compatriots : this and a spirited eserti-m mese the majority of the Flecters of the City of West. slows (for half have net polled) will pet net of sight the hybrids: political monster, so hideous to the view of the Patriot's cossisleat eye.

Whet a noble sight does lima City of Westminster present at the present moment ! A hand of plain, bat well-Wormed and high-minded citizens, united In the purest and most god-like of all coulee, the freedom not wily of their owe City, bet of the whole lini• pire, and, perhaps, of the world ; and to compla• the picture by contrast, opposed to amino all the wealth and power In the kiagdom a Ministry the avowed enemy of men, as a free sod comfort able being; sail to a Whig Aristocracy, his pro fessed friend, but secret and insidious foe. It is a spectacle that might arouse CA/0 from HS tomb ; and if LEONIDAS could emerge from the grave, he would join your ranks aid fight the battle of Thermopylm again. But sou ova • LEONIDAS, prove your selves Spartans ; the rampart of Liberty is in your keeping ; defend it, sod let not the fair plains of Bri tish Freedom be over-run and ravaged by a host of tyrants, mercenaries, and slaves. The combination of two apparently discordant parties, of professed saints and practical sinners, against your independence, is a convincing proof of their congeniality of sentiment in the rause of Corrop lion : and shows how two dissimilar instruments may be an modulated as to produce an ha rmoniou toacert, a Ministerial bamr-vini aid a Whig 'serpent; peal colarly when the performer are accustomed to Ihn roogh•base. The character of the anion, and the Government they slab to establish en the ruin of oar rights, is written on their front In Romeo capitals, DIEMONOCRACY—and it roost's., no micrnsco. pic eye In read it. On the Freedom of El.ction de pond+ the character of the Hove of Commons; on AR character ef. the Holm of Cosmoss depends the spirit of our laws. We have area that spirit abro gated or nullified at the will of a Minister, by a soimmerrient Parliament. We have seen the bounty of Heaven. in so ehundant harvest, defeated by a Corn Bill! We have 110,f1 the Act of Habeas Corpus, and the lives and liberties of Englishmen, 'upended in a Green Bag! Who will pastime to say that at ammo future period, end that, perhaps, prefer distant, some other pious hypocritical Minister will hesitate to destroy, that " Palladium of our Libros," the Freedom of the Prom? It hes already been at tamped, In the corrupt *eludes and lotisoidation of Amin; and we owe the preservation of that bal . work, not to the Aristocracy, not to the IFAigs or Thrice, but to individual talent, courage, and air toe. If ever the Freedom of the Press should be abolished, politic education aid public morals will decay ; and we shall descend to that degraded state, is which society shall consist only of a prolligate • Aristocracy, and a popalacy of meolals and slaves. —This is not an overcharged picture ; Greece and Rome are both before your eyes : consider what they once were, and what they no are! Con you coo. template, withoot horror, your posterity sinking, like them, into mental and corporeal vassalage, an der the insulting donsioatioa of the Crescent, or the isiteltmeteal thraldom of the Papal Croat Is this a DA MONOCRACY onset ? Remember, that Corruption, like the Nile, aim from small springs; like the Nile, it receives its tributary stream+, and becomes a treason does vim, not to be tamed; like the Nile, it ir rigates the country ; but not like the Nile don it fertilize; for it irrigstes with tears and blood. It is enoogh.—filassy of you are capable of all that reams perform : you have not the cunning of your opponents; for no conning man was ever yet a wise one ; hut you have all the right-hastried wisdom that is necessary for the occasion, and you most ezert it : your ancestors, says Junius, " delivered an hoe. ditary freehold into your hands, and it is your duty to transmit it unimpaired to posterity." You must not only sactifice ill patois and personal prejudice to the public good ; bat its the social, as well so pub lic circle, you must dispassionately reason with the ignorant, animate the indolent, and strengthen the weak-hearted ; and shove sll, invite the assistance of the female sea : persuasion is the pecolier province., woman • and let no person use that trite and feude expression, " / have nothing to tits rith po. Wks." Every men has to do with politics, oho regards his social duties. The science of politics Ia a branch of moral philosophy, end includes oar well being and well-doing is skis hie, and distinguishes the civilised Nation from the e horde ; for, as the great Lord CAMDEN NW, " If life bethe bounty of Heaven, we reject the noblest part of Ike gill, when we surrender that certain r•le of Using, with. out which human nature is not only miserable, bet contempt ihlss." , Feb. 25. 1919.
