PERT CHILDRIC or, POT/ Tll 110'D MIND CIIILD TO THE EDITOR OF Tile RTATERMAN. - - Sir—Children should never be permitted to speak in company, nor should any person of common discre tion speak to them. Besides their innumerable other . eanoyaoces. their avisaxassre are intolerable, and are sum to be seedbed to, and to be revenged upon their parents. In nine eases out of ten it is too certain that • they have either beard or been prompted to say the im pertinent things they dote visitors, and it is-as certain elso,that meta opinions and sentiments, Tlllllll likings and dislikes are the opinions, sentiments, and feelings of the It is quite an every day piece of ignorance and folly to hear parent,' boasting to one visitor what insulting things their dear disagreeable brat had said to any titer, nester considering that they are not only exposing their own rudeness and vulgarity, and holding their beloved Urchin np to additional execration, but that they are courting retaliation for those very affronts, by putting them into circulation. Por who is there, no matter bow amiable, or bow insensible, can bear to be masked by a brat, notoriously made the mouth piece of its satirical or parsimonious mamma, or of its " Prydrat" and deceitful daddy, and not resent it: Many and many a family have lost their best friends by the - pertness of" Master Harry," or of" Miss Mary Ann ;" but blinded by the infatuation of parental fondness, they cannot see how or why. If, at length, the cease be suggested.—What is the reply ? Poh, - who'd wind a child."—Poh, who'd mind pen and ink— who'd mind t ree. Why, the brat is the mere type of the Jae/ it utters. In fact, most people's children cannot do wrong at all.—in high life, and in low life, it is all the same, they are all " ungth." In middling life a thousand times have I heard parents sat• upon complaint made against their unruly brats, yen, in their very presence too, " Jlt child never dome the like."—Sensible parent—oh, Adored child So swarm the streets of London with JCWENILE vagahonds. Let our ;collies or our vices he what they may, the last person we expect will expose them, is a friend, and therefore the greater is our disgust and resent ment, when, by a friend they are exposed ; but, how mortifying, when this is done with cowardly artifice and hypocrisy, and that a Cunt/ is made to say what its parent risAes to say, but dare not, or what its parent Ail say, and OVIIIIT not. :inch duplicity generally carries its own punishment wills it, and detection and contempt are its reward. It is really a most gracioas thing to ask persons to one's house to be insulted by " Jacky" and " Mary Ann," and to be made a butt for the next six-months visitors, Mamma declaring to Goo—she was ready to expire with shame at the " • young toad's" impedance. The late Lord —, who though reputed a great bait, was the valtuble friend of a certain worthy gen tleman to whose house he was constantly invited. Not. withstanding this nerghly propensity of his Lordship, it was Hs ambition that all his marvellous stories should be considered as scriptures, and that he should be esteemed'a man of veracity. One company day at the house of this " fiiend," Lis accomplished Lordship had, as usual, delighted the party with various of his elegantly told ems, ►►hich no doubt, he assured them, were so mealy errs. Stuck np at the dinner table was Master " PERT," the darling son of the silly host and hostess, with his fingers no doubt daubed with grease and sauce, the torment and disgust of the company, the fiddle of his •• Pa" and " Ma." In the excess of his Lordship's exultation, that no person had either contradicted or even seemed to dis believe his Legends of wonders; he commenced a lecture upon veracity, and inveighing violently against the terrible crime of LYING, turned to master hay with a cautionary admonition. " There" said his Lordship, pointing to an ox tongue that was near him, " there is a toarite Met never told a lir." The reply of the urchin almost every body knows.—"l wires it was in yaw, r,ordsAip's swath." Although so mach of the story is pretty generally known, the remainder is nut. Mammy and Daddy were in extacies at the wit of their insulting brat, and could scarcely contain the chuckle, whilst his Lordship, who was all penetration and address, laughed himself out of his present disgrace ; hut he never for gave the family, from whom lie not only withdrew his friendship and society, but upon whom fell his eternal contempt and hatred ; which, from the well-known talents of his Lordship, was no small punishment. As society is at present all duplicity, I would advise those who see company to keep their " lava s" in the nursery, for if they're permitted to " ba" in the par lour, they'll sorely bring " Pa" and " 31.‘" into dis grace.

Stet—l do not consider myself an ad►pt in politics ; neither am I partirttlarly fond of attempting a II Wass ion of political subjects ; hat when an enormous load of is imposed. on a people, who have for a *rift irf beet in the jaws of poverty ; when the mottlby *hieh through the means of the tastes, Nails its way to the hands of ministers, who latish it extravagantly: and when the misery of the people has, at this . proaent mo ment, reached an extent, hitherto Unprecedented, you will perhaps excnse me for indnlging in a few remarks. nhi,h 4 trust will, at least, hare the merit or ing totally exempt from all party prejudice. That the country is at present in a state of extreme misery, if what ministers themselves have never had the hardihood to deny ; that exeestire taxation and an unnecessary standing army, are the two getat pro-1 curing causes of that misery, is a fact, of ;414 they are equally convinced, though of coarse they wield be reluctant to acknowledge it.—The nitegnivoeal man ner In which the people in all parts of the country, have complained, in the hearing of ministers, athese two great evils, nittlt have temoved all doolass, if they had any, on the subject. Though convinced of the causes and nature of the disease, they do not, however, seem inclined to apply what they know would prove an infallible remedy. It is true, that eminent Surf, Physician, Lord Liverpool, prescribes is eerfain anti: dotes against the dist . d state of the eountry—:irit and 'warmer ; ■nd, in one sense, his Lordshtp is tient far time will certainly core the disease to which the country is at present subjected, and a short time too ; hut it is highly desireable to see some other remedy ap plied in the present stage of the disease,.heranse if the application is defered until time shall prove a cure, it may be attended with worse consequences. Ou this I point, Lord Londonderry seems to hold the same opinion, though he differs materially as to the manner of effecting the cure. His Lordship appeared to think that if the country were a little more restrained, the country woul.l be well. Ile most be ignorant indeed of the principles that actuate human manes., who mould imagine, that the more a people are restrained, the mom-' mon wealth would prosper ; and the absurdity of the supposition is redoubled, when it is considered that the people thus proposed to he r. strained, are a civilised, enlightened, and magnanimous people. Stich a sup position neither accords with she principles of philoso phy, northe annals of history. It is only nee • to instance, in proof of thin, the events and re►olutions of the last and present year, which hate taken placebo surrounding nations. If ministers are determined not to take warning by the beacons which ,other na tions have set them, they will have themselves to blame ; and, it is to be feared, they will have cause in the end to repent it. They may fondly solace themselves with the idea that the extraordinary tranquillity of the present slay is a favourable and consoling augur. I look on it in a quite different light ; for when I con sider what has preceded other revolutions, we regard it as a sure presage of the coming storm. " When violent resistance," says that celebrated philosopher,' the late professor Drown, " appear. the only mesas of relief: anti whets the bodies of men are wither effeminated by luxury, nor enfeebled by climate, aor their mini's brutified by ignorance, [bey earnest fail -110 suer or later, to shake off the yoke 6f tyranny, s t. dd• to break her sceptic in pieces."

An intelligent writer, in a late New York paper, ex presses his surprise that the general &minks shield be so winch fixed upon the proceedings at Laybaeh sad in Europe, when such majestic scenes are displaving themselves on the theatre of South America. Wiwi / provinces are there casting of the Spanish yoke, sad associating themselves in the cause of independent". The armistice between Bolivar and blorillo has sot suspended the progress of the cause in other district• Maracaybo, and Rio de la Bache, bare declared then independence; and Spain has scarcely a strong held on the southern shore of the gulf of Mexico. The r. large province of Quito on the Pacific has also raised her banner ; so that If San Martin has not already re• volutionized Peru, she is pressed on both Wes; on the south by Chili; and on the mirth by Quito. The Isthmus of Panama will pro- bably sympathize in these moments ; and even Mexico herself is exhibiting symptoms of the earth quake. If Spain be wise, she will acknowledge the independence of Buenos Ayres, of Co4sethis, mml of Quito ; she will trust to her owq great reowaveres for the elements of her own prosperits. ; but if the Coitus should continue blind to the progress of the age, his believed that 114 immense region of South America will no longer be attached to the fluctuating &dues of so distant a Peninsula; and that those whom Red had not joined together, the sword of man may tit asunder. Even if South America be not calculated for the enjoyment of a purely republican constitaties; if experiment should prove that she needs a few yeses of instruction to enable her to burst into the full blue of liberty, still let her be " independent of Europe." At all events," says this writer, " the time is not die taut when we, the citizens of the same continent, ass take her by the right hand of fellowship, and recssenise her independence. We ought to be the first to d01t.... In Brazil, too, some interesting revolutions are ex• peeled to be at hand. Bahia has declared herself is favour of a representative constitution; and Rio Ja neiro mill probably imitate her example. The Ports geese of America will not be slaves, while those el Europe enjoy a representative government." The only measure of importance at present pending in Parliament, that professes to have for its object the .relief of the country, is the llill introduced by Mr. ScsnLETT fur the amendment of the Poor-Laws. 110 original aim of this Bill, as oar readers are sewn was first to check that dependeure on external sidwia the existing system engenders, by limiting the VIM' sion for the support of the poor, and fixing ea the sa• eminent of the year 1820 as a maximum, or tbehigh -ost assessment which It should be lawful le make. The seeen,l aim was to render it illegal to afford pa. rochial relief, except in cases a here the peed* , weft ' incapable of taboos- from sickness, infirmity, Of a t e = and the third and last was to repeal what is called the law of settlement, and leave the poorman to carry his labour to the Care he thought it would be most produr tie,, and make that p wish maintain the labourer is witch be found he was incapable of maintaieing self.
