BAMILTOR (BERMUDA). JULY 3. —This Colony has already resisted the attempt of the Lords Com. missiosers of his kt 'jetty's 'rotatory to modiste the Fetes of the Customs; and an /act, establishing al Docket of Fees, not only for the Casino-house, bet for the other public offices, was passed by the Isle House of Assembly at their recent Session. The lA. gislsfore of Barhadoes have also lately had the tune 1 subject ender consideration. Th• f,,linvio r , are ea• ',acts from the proctediogs of the Assembly of that island in May last : " Resolved, That any attempt to establish any tat, duty, or fee, spun his klajest,'s subjects, intim. bitants of this Colony, by the Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury, is illegal, and oeght to be resisted, " Resolved, That the Committee of Correspond• once be itto.tructeddlo direct the agent to remonstrate with promptitude nod firmness against ti.ete orders : that this House nill nreer recognise any authority in the !mods Commissioners of his Majesty's Ties• tory to raise any sum or sums of money, *heftier in the nature of fees or otherwise, from the inhabitants of this Colony. " Resolved, That the Orders of the Loris Com. mistioneys of his Alajesty's Memory, by which ere. tails fees are sought to be established for the regnant• ration of the Officers of the Customs, ere in otters violation of the iuhertnt rights of the iultabilauta.of this coldny; ss having a direct tendency to impose • tat quo them, ender the authority of such orders, and without the consent of their Representatives in IGeoeral Assembly."

We abosld have had uo American nor French war, aid consequently no debt of a thousand millions. There might indeed have been much in. trigging among Ministers to gain and keep majorities. Bca Donotscrom illustrated all that systems of cor ruption. Bet then Ministers would never have been so long in office as to grow as conning and as ferocious as so old bull-These beasts are never kept beyond a certain number of years, because they become dangerous even to thiir keepers. An old Minister is ten times more mischievous than an old bull. Tbe. latter may gore one person, perhaps bill him, after which he is usually carried to the slaughter-house, prosided a rope can be pot round his neck; there is then an end of him : but a wicked hlioister may stir up a oar for the en riching himself and his creatures, and the gratify iug the ambition and vanity of his King, who is always pleased with the account of battles, and in the exclamation. ," the bravery of my 11000."

Such wretches can never be brought to account but by a Gamer N vrions,t. Cover of Eseutnr. Their own petty will not only allow them to go on in the ruinous system, but share with them the profits of their iniquity.

Happy should we be 0 a general armistice could be imposed to-morrow upon the warriors of the quill. There would be an imme diate reformation in the Government and in the morals of the People. For the erkkedness of the former is now brutalizing the manners of the People so fast, i that presently it will not be safe to walk the streets. The moral pert of the country has already undergone the change sought for long ago: the physical part has, to be sure, not kept pace with it—it will, it must, ere long, from the inevitable nature cashing', fellow the impulse—and it will he with a terrible and Sudden force it will revolve, like the windlass of a great crane, •bett the power gives way that should held, or rather impel, it. Woe be to those who ate wisest that wheel at its revolting : they will not 41., serve pity, because it is the desire of place width keeps them there, end that desire must arise either' from self.ioterest, ambition, the love of sway, or a Mese of guilt, which makes lbemafrsid to resign their Situation ! •. What has been said above may appear to be die- 1 teted,by an indignation not sofliciently restrained: 2 It is impossible to treat the sul jet.' with a cold. blooded calculation of what may be the immediate ere remote effects of such reasoning. The very Times en which we commented yesterday, has this mons- Inv; afforded a new and still mote striking ezemplill cation of all we urged with respect to the time. serving conduct of the Press. The influence of that Journal is vast upon the minds of the People of Ettg'aod : and it likely, if it persists in its present course, to prolong the 'uterine of the unhappy Bri ton to a point beyond all enduring, end defying all resuming. It is now d g more injury to the li berties of the country by far then even the Courier, because the loner, like au over-acted tragedy, produc ing a rontrary affect to the one intended by the author, is becoming harmless. It is also discovered to be uni formly given to deny and distort the truth in any thing and every thing, which tends to take from the strong and give to the seal:. A base and cowardly disposition. 'Ube generous always Ay to succour the steak. Man, in his natural condition is riot cruel or hard-hearted. It is in his social stale that he becomes vicious ; it is in his social relation that be is unreel. log and brutal, which really is changing the ostler of nature, but it is no less true. The luxurious. the leo temperate cannot live contentedly without being pains' pored, and having his inordinate appetites petit ed, he therefore makes court to those who kvep . the keys of the nation's Treasury ; and he sells his soul accordingly to admiolster to his seuseality. Ile may be said, without an eitlawfol stretch of me !arbor, to feed upon his fellow-creator's. The turtle he 'its, consumes the flesh and sinews of the once brawny husbandman, end the robust mechanic. The Claret and Burgundy he drinks, pours nut the arte rial blood of the artisan and tabourer—so that theate classes of men who, before the sits of fittincierieg were brought to as mach perfection as the stem. engine, looked rosy and cheerful, now resembl• the Greenlanders, Laplanders, or Eatleinimos In dians, and upon whose face • smile or selasstion of muscle is never seen, except when some fellow. creature, with the gift of speech, from motives of sympathy slat commiseration (ender the Times' designation of a reforming DEMAGOGUE), addresses them and as them that their enemies and plan deters will, 'era long, be brought to account. Then something like a gladness of the squint countenance breaks out, bat it is transient in duration, for no sooner does he cast Isis regards et a fellow-sufferer near him than he reeds his own bereft and neglect ed condition, and hideous horror smiles his total with dismay and despair, sod he is half-willing to throw his life away..--Suppose in these moments one of the itinerant orators should whisper men in this dreadful condition that it would be cow ardly to throw life away while they might sell it to the advantage at least of their children ? What would the heard•hearted, nver : trown wealthy Aristocrat say to this? What could their Couriers and their Times, NCO and Old (we could almost quote a well•known phrase of " a plague on both these houses," or make Iparody ors it and say, "a plague on both the Times, New and Old), we would ask those time serving, trimming J ournals what they could do for the iiitEAT, if an attest warfare commenced between • • . _~~ tieYi aria. hi 1e kg. it wnu'd be like the war betwetr) i the lkoaeve owl the Sans. co/of/V.Be France : or that bete eon the well-fed tied well.clotbed regular tirades of Fortino, end the bare•footed men of colour in ;it.
