I find that I have already transgressed the bounds of your Paper, though I ban done little more towards the case than similes it of the esters and miscruception which obsessed the ground-work.— The real task of the question don net depend on the greeter or lesser eatension proposed by most men to tio given to the elective franchise, nor whether P.rliaments ought to be I or trienaial ; bat whether such a state of Representatiou does net osist as norm' ha reconciled with the Bill of Rights. If such a grievance does exist, then is it Mot duty of b..th King and Parliament " thereof to provide reme dy, and do law for the voiding of such mischief," as Mr. Justice RASTAL osmoses it. This is the tree rate of the case, and every man of cosmos ender standing must be sensible of Its truth. As aeon I has, however, been poi forth by the lioroughenongets, bat the pies which their advents has missend is so I weak and futile, ad so totall irreaseileable with dm British Constitution, that it would be quite on. I worthy of a reply from ay man, if thi vast import 7 once of the can to the motion at large did set give it that claim to notice which its own intrinsic merits I cannot communinte. Oa tech an eccasios, the tree pa triot will not consider the most puerile attack as be. •path his notice, and therefore I shall enter the lists with this twiny adversary when I have nothing better to occupy my attention. At present I shall only say, that he has the best claim to be the champion of a cause who has already sanctioned it with his prac tice; nor do 1 believe there is a borough in the kinadoes better qsaiiied than Great Marlow to fur nish material, for such a combat. I questios much whether Pewits and Grampoend posters equal pre tensions ; for I have been et both those places, and I do not remember to have noticed the squalid poverty en conspicuous as at Great Marlow. The fact is, that borough influence produces, on a small sale, that pahlic misery which a corrupt Ministerial anew does ran • largo one. The may are oppressed to loutish benefits for a few. The People are starved, to create jobs for fasossitn ; and the misapplication of tle public money, public charities, and so forth, falls not upon the rich, but upon the poor, who are sometimes sent to the grave by the effects of absolute Off s•tion to make room for' therl, whose eseodicity is tJ • save, but concealed to prevent the loss of their elective franchise. These things concern moo as Chtistiaos, who way take little or no interest in po litics. sod for that reason many facts of this gloomy corn. I•zion will be exhibited to the Plastic, and ,vi dew.. of them tendered nest Sessions at the bar of that li as,. whose duty it is to redress mil wrongs, tad particularly the wrongs sustained by Mot setTetitsg poor. 11.01101 helpromark ing here that money (Maio od by the breach of the la untiring" predeces mwcbbe seem to Its possessors. The gains of smugglers sad poachers see great, bat these men are never enriched by them, and that perhaps easy be one can of the poverty so conspicuous in rotten boroughs. This seems Wind to Wattage with Marlow, for although vemoserstion comes at regular polled, after every election at that plea tile a refreshieg shower, and the people stood gaping to receive it with their months I wide open like oysters at tido time, yet the benefit is soon OM, belt the poises remain, circulates in lbe system, ad gradually corrupts end destroys all Ike virtues of social life, whilst ell that remains is a filthy turas*, *Pain to every man eadowed w ith 'limy stare of moral sensibility.

We say, let the People alert and discuss their grievances, sod consult about the proper reset dies for them. This is the way to ovoid mischiefs and assassinations. The French would never have committed the 'scours they did, but for the kind of circemvallation made roped Patio by Bans:Mei army. A wise Sovereign keeps his Untied attend sets, and their bayonets, at • distance from his People when about to deliberate on their public wrings.

M. de Montarlot, in replying to the interrogations of the President, avowed he was the author. lie added, that he did net wish to menace the Swiss, bat only to give them salutary advice by recommending them not to eache the hatred of Frentitesen by acts of outrage and murder. The Anvocaea•GracaAc insisted that be intended to menses the Swiss with a general massacre. The Jury, however, thought otherwise, for after a short libitum they returned a verdict of Nog Guilty.

Let him try how America will like him. We would besides wish that every King or Emperor wbo plunges his subjects Iran an unnecessary war, shoeld be compelled to make a few campaigns with his armies. Under such e castes then would wars be less frequent. It is with pride sod pleasure we present to our Readers a long letter (It cannot be too long in so well quslified a writer) from our much-esteemed Correspondent TISIOTHT TRUMAN. It IS 1/00 pecu liar advantage of the Sr.sresm.ss (of which it is doly sensible), that it is counteosnred by some of the ablest and best Patriots in the kingdom, and adopt. eel at the vehicle of their honest, modisgaised, and highly.prized sentiments. Times change and men change with them. A few Tories, we see, are becoming Wig:, and • good many Whip are felting into the ranks of Reformers. This is as it should be. The New and Old Timer, will both allow, that the more of the latter have shirts on their backs, the better for the State : and no men kapw better thee a certain class of Whigs, which is nearest to them, their skirt or their skies. Letters have arrived from Rio isnerio to the 9th of May. The brig Alexander, which left Lima about the middle of February, had arrived there. She left Lima in company with the Blossom and Andromache frigates. The Captain of the Lantern, one of herd Cocuaxnes squadron, hailed the Andromache, and desired to know what vessel she had in company (meaning the Alexander), end to whom the property on board of her belonged, worming an intention of searching her. Captain Swampy declared his reso lution of wooing this proceediug; but, fearing the threat would be carried into serration, removed the passengers, treasure, and letters, from on board. — In the evening the Laster° actually boarded and smirched the Alexander, but heed nothing 'WA taking.—( New Times.) The Emperor of Morocco, 1111111. IT SoLtUAW, glen out, in the beginning of June, that he should visit Tangiers. But instead of repairing thither, beams. bled a force behind the river Sebes, with the {slew. lion of imposing a tribute en the Inhabitants of the moontsius of Trills, who bed revolted against his au thority. His troops were scarcely collected, whim those mountaineers, papally denominated Herberes, surprised the Emperor's camp, under cloud of night. His Negro Gear& were almost to a moo cut to pieces; his t , estimated at 400 goistals of silver, 12 of his wives, his own tent, and his baggage, fell into the hands of the rebels. The Governor of Tangier died of his wooed% and Molt! Inak atm, the Emperor's eldest son, was wounded is the brad. This young Prince, it was reported, had ar rived at Fes, under the protection of some Moors.— A rumour had been current for 10 dart, that Mut.st Soutaxii himse3 bad been killed ; bet it appears that be had been able to reac h Megirines in disguise, escorted by a single Moor, one of the rebels, who having entered the Emperor's tent during the ac tion, apprised him of his danger, en dsucceeded in cenve)ing him to his capital, amidst the greatest perils. A letter from Calais, dated timil(llb lost. says : " The arrivals here from Englanders becoming again as monologs as per. Since the beginstleg of the week from 60 to KO peruses have arrived daily. Many Members of Parliament and families of distinction take the direction of Paris and Boulogne. In the latter of these cities it is reckoned that there are more than 2500 English residents. A number of Officers es the half-pay of the British service have established themselves there and at other towns along the coast. Twenty-eight paket boats, of which four are French. sad 24 English, are employed ie the conveyance of passengers between Calais and Dover. Last year several Gentlemen had conceived the project of esta blishing a post by pivon.iirriers between France and England. A best trial has takers place from Calais to Brussels. Today 32 of thew sew messeogers arrived at Calltis from Antwerp, having passed the Straits. Some will also be let of at London ; sod it is hoped that we shall soon succeed by this means of establishing a safe and rapid medium of correspon dence between London and Antwerp." The following is an extract of a letter from Holy head, dated the 15th. instant :—" The Talbot steam vessel, which arrived here this morning from Bondi, took fire, whilst lying close to the Pier; bet by the great outdoes of the persons then present she ass saved from total destruction. A considerable part of her deck, however, has been cot away, to prevent the fire spreading. A poor fellow, who pre am t in this work, bad his finger chopped off in the hurry and confusion inseparable from so alarm ing an accident. The vessel has, fortunately, In this lawmen, been saved, as it was perfectly calm; had thee been a breeze she must have Wu burnt down to the water's edge."
