Ili rut EDITOR o► ins STATESMAN. Sts,—At the Windsor Establishment will moo and., the consideration of the House of Commonest, Monday next, and the allowance to be made to his Rnysl Ilighnets the Doke of Yo■c, as having the cesthdy of the King's Person, is likely to be a sub jest of dim:amino, it may not be improper to draw poor *Hendon to the situation in which his Royal Highness et present stands, as well es to the claims be may be conceited to base on the cannery. The theme which his Royal Highness enjoys, yea ere on doubt aware, amounts to doable that skit* icy of his Royal Brothers possesses, in addition to which be is Colonel of the lit Regiment of Garde, consisting of three battalions, Colonel in Chief of the , 60111 Regiment of Foot, and bolds the eppointment of Commander in Chief. I would not willingly eons twit an error in estimating the amount of all thew waren of income, bet it will not be difficult to as cestain It accorately. Now, Sir, when the country is to be celled es to grant a further increase to this greet revenue, it he. Comes • defy almost imperative to review, impartially, those pretensions which Isis Royal Highness is sup. posed to have ; sod bower angrasioes the task, to set against them his faults, and whet say be called dis.servicts, and by thes bslancing between them, past oil to the Public notice the tree 'startled's is which his Royal Highness deserves to be held. It has been usual, in the courtly language of these who connect with the preseut high rank, the pr.. templive expectations of this illestoions persoo, to attribute to his Royal flightiest alone all the credit of that improvement in the discipline and regale. tioes of the army, which. since the early periods of lb. war, its 1794, has undoubtedly taken place ; and this, c o nsiderable as I admit the erects to have been, is, 1 believe, the sum of all that the most servile adolatiou can bring forward. The day is past when his merits in the field would have borne mentioning. The joyous conviviality of private hears, the Isaati. leas enjoyment of the pleasures of the table, or the siring attachments of priests friendship, are not grounds to constitute a claim on the country. Now, Sir, I am willing and anginas to give every praise where it is deo, and heartily agree in admit. ting, that his Royal Highness has materially aided and furthered she improwomeats I Wen alluded to. 11.1 I cannot forget that the situation of Commander in Chief calls on whom fills it to do his duty, and that these esertiows are no wore than such a duty,' that any other Officer so appointed ought to have done, and most have done the same; and we aro toot to imppose, that the ernolomeuts and large income arising from that situation, are only ism remuneration of the great trouble attendant on the disposal of so esteasive patronage us appertaitis to it. Is every Secretary, every Clerk in office, who is' active in the performance of what is his allotted besieges, entitled to call for eatraordinary grantssod seheard of allowances' Is this then the ground on which his Koval High. sees stands. or on what other ground is it ? If such there art, I know them not ; I am actuated by nn ill will, I have esperienced sin unkindness from him, and should be glad to learn them; bet if there are none, let es not, in GOD . / oame, be led by the iu cliniseions of the party in power, and the cautious forbearance of the party who would be in power, to add to the burdens of the country, in however small a degree e grant of 10,0001. may effect them. Bet, Sir, I have sot dose: I base mentioned the services of the Duke—l am grateful for them. If wetting was asked, I would stop here; bat I am bound to disclose these eiscemstances which bear on the opposite side, wad which I may be bold, bat I am warranted, in asserting, are sods that, instead of the tribute of praise. are deserving the severest censer*, nay coetein materials for pebtic cognizance and Pas laments ry enquiry. I do net allude to the disposal of Commissions through the influence of a mistress, and the landing himself to a disgraceful tragic. That offence be. been punished, and the partiopatioo was denied on the honour of a Prince. That honour differs, per. baps, from the honour of a Gentlemen. I should hese been content with the latter pledge. Bet, Sir, I assert, that a fund has been raised by the sale of recent Consatissions in the dray; that money has been received and disposed of ',theist the au. think)? of Parliament; if not under the sanction of the Duke of Yana, open what authority kalif been so disposed of? Tbs amount of this Is said to be very considerable!! I aced not ask you, Sir, if this is legal, or if it is constitutional ; if seek a power be recognized in England, it *eight and most be look ed to, and I should like to legit answered. Farther than this, Sir, I take topes me to afßrm ' and I will maintain, for I know it, that It hes been made a condition on appeietieg to the Coloorley of a Roe meat, that a certain person should be the Agent, and this not once, bat in leveret instances, and this net in the way of a recommendation, bat a positive condition—ter what peeps* I will not protease to my. Now, Sir, if au Nicer, who for his services receives the reward of a regimsint and most incur a risk by ass agent, let him choose with whom be will TIN it, and not be drive., against his iodisation to • man whose desk may embezzle 100,0001. without discasosv. Who can ho safe where inch irregularity prevails ? rhea, are acts, qr, which would not be borne in an individual, but in • Prince are merits. I hope some independent Member of the ileum of Commons will take up this business, and the country will appreciate his honesty.— Sir, your obedient Servant, Feb. eJt b. JUSTUS.

We have frequently beard of black Monday, bet from the great deemed for cash on Friday se'nnight, eke last Friday, end neat Friday being settling day, we anticipate that the application will be transferred to black Friday. There has been a /actuation of 3 per cent. daring the presest account ; and as Elisio, approaches the Bells appear elsdrified, and the Bears terrified. at the terrific black board displayed iu the Stuck Exchange, with the eases of those who waddle. It is a well.known fact, that numbers of persons have carried over their accounts from Friday to Friday, paying a great difference for the cootinwation ; bet the final settlements most take place on Friday neat; and from the connections some of the great failures of late have with the Moose, some Mammies to a large ascent are es. peeled to be declared.

Sra,—Seeing with "rinser, the spirit with which year Piper is co idected, I am desire's of siting yen all the assistance my feeble hied can afford to. wards the laudable object you hassle view ; and I the mete readily take op the pin, at this time, from °Were's( some Bisections and reflealons in the New Timer, Which are calculated to do mach mischief, as far as they Afield be read and be relied on. It is, whether Millibars of the Howse of Commons oeght or not to look to sad be strayed by the opinions and interests of their Constiteonts f The false reason. ing of the writer of t►e Nem Times, grew oat of the circumstance of Doe a the present Candidates for Westminster, promising to consult end Conform to /he wishes of his Constituests, or to resign. I offer the folloning obserraties on this important point:— " Something most exist in a free State, which no pare of that Slate can be authorised to alter er de. stray, otherwise the idea of w Coaditution cannot subsist ; for, unless we allow the Froeholdere anti Electors of Great Britain to be supe►ior to a finest of Commons, we great to them an absolute issrer, a posit/ inconsistent with the notion of • FREI. Prong, and destructive of the principles of A MIXED GOVERNMENT. " Should it be acknowledged, that, though the Cesnmotis lam exercised • power of annihilating many privileges and rights belonging to the Penpi., 14 , 11 , 5 ,,,, ji no legal title In du so, then ■ll laws subversive of MAGNA C . :HAUSA. the Bill of Rights, Act of Settlement, and spirit of the Conrtil•- tion, are an 4 of their authority and violation of their trust, for .hick such infamous Parliament ought not only In be dostolved, but every MetnGer who engaged in the destruction of the People's rights, should sever punishment, tegetber with those bit- NISTUS who framed a design of enslaving the Peo ple; and it must Le equally jest, as well as neces sary, Id' call to a strict arc. tot THE FIRST MA GISTRATE, who could encourage the destruction of nut I.i•eavtu, soil • subversion of the Constite lion, as so @sample to future Kings and Ministers. " if any Ministerial hireling should assert, that nor Representatives, after the beer of election, are so lunger answerable for their conduct, and ate legally invested with o•therite to destroy our end for liberties at their pleasure; then, sslist did King JAMES do more than this by his prer.g'iris.? and of whet advantage has the Revolution proved to us, Unheard's( the Constitution he placed in the bendy of the Representative ? in what does the idea of a free State, or the liberty of a People exist, when it depends open nothing more permanent fpr established, than the vague, rapacious, or interested inclination of a majority out of Six HUNDRED AND Firer-EIGINT M tee, open In the insidious attacks of a week or designing Prince and his Ministers; sorely it will be granted. that whether King or Minister, who, by rodeo influence, should prevail in passing laws subversive of the Statutes before.nientiotted. must he deemed an offender against the most sacred (gall batman enjoyments, liberty and the Conatite• lion of his country, and equally criminal with JANE' ft. and his illinisters. " The whole prosomptise title a Parliament ran pretend to bate of disposing of our RIGIITI ASD Patvit.rogs can be bet Iliaattnoamt, which. in many iusteacm, hag tree carried be) and the limits of liberty and the Cnnstitotion. It is there fur, necessary that we should raw to the spirit of the Constitotton wink tie alrietest rigour au I parse. VittelitV. " The only reason that can he given why our ferefaapits, in the ai.ciont fundameotal Status►c of this Realm, hate delivered nothing verbally •splirit on this heed, of limiting the power of their /Ulan mantises, derives its origin from the sam. coon that the Housars bad no laws against porriide : they never conceived that the thought of &fraying or sell ing a Paortes I.IIIILIITIRS, any more then murdering o father, could enter the hem.. heart : they Dever 'bought that the liepresentatise could ever possess an interest distinct from that of his Constituents, or that a pecuniary edvantage could outweigh the public good in his breast ; they did oat perceive that Minis. fens might have occasion to oppren is for the gratifi catioa of a weak or wicked P►Gce; or that English. men, no longer animated by the soul of pohlk pro. sperisy, mightdegenerateint•greetiogopywessfeelaxes, till the nisilon would be hroeght within one drys of ruin; or that laws essential to the establishment of hoydens and security of the State could be made to burst at the mandate of s Minister, by the breath of a majority among 658 ann.
