Too longhave the eyes of the people of this coun try been fixed with expectation upon external cir cumstances. Thoy have suffered their imaginations to wander abroad in search of vanities, confiding in the profession; of those who " keep the promise to our ear, but break it to our hope," till comfort after comfort has been suffered to eXpire under the fangs of insidious domestic destroyers, and the fancy, like a bad house-wife, fears to return home, and trembles at the view of the ruin which her unmindfulaess and the power of the ravager has occasioned. It is now time, however, to leave those " jugglers who palter with us in a double sense," and attend to objects and interests that more nearly concern us. Happy should we be would truth allow us to paint our internd affairs in such a light, as must have the effect of reconciling.thelseart to domestic contemplations—but the case is other• wise. Yet we must learn to look upon the dismay ing prospect. The feverish dream of heated ambition, which sought to build its palaces on the ruins of every thing dear to human nature, has ceased for a time to embroil the nations in war, and to urge the work of human slaughter from one end of the world to the other; and Reason, which returns when every other happiness is flown, is now speaking in intelligible accents to many who would not hear her voice before. To too many, and, alas! to thousands who should never have shared in the over-charged cup of calamity, she points a precipice that will no longer be shaded by sophistry. Peace has indeed come to the aid of the millions who tottered on its brink, but too late to have the effect which could be desired. The powers of the body politic have been cruelly racked to their utmost tension, and now the mere prospect of relief brings a fainting-fit, almost as fatal as the oppres sions that have weighed upon k so long. It is worth while, now that we have time to consi der, and thought is necessary, to give a pause to controversy on the subject of the terms of the Peace with America, leaving the disputed point of national honour to be settled by that impartial power which strips every thing of disguise, and attend a little to its real and probable effects on the comforts of the com munity. Of mortified feeling we have had enough, and we wish we were doomed to listen to no other lamentations than those of wounded vanity. But it is speaking a melancholy truth, which, lovers of peace as we are, we sincerely regret to utter, that the peace has wounded deeper than any dis grace the nation has suffered under the guid ance of the indiscreet bands that so franti cally plunged it into a war, where victory was ruin, and wasted her resources on unattainable ob jects. The effects of this sudden stoppage, when hopes of the highest attainment were imparting a buoyant impulse to the spirits of the innumerable multitude who now depend upon war in this country, or are under the necessity of seeking an indemnity in the restrictions which it brings, in respects that are advantageous to them, for the burtheus and pri vations which it occasions, and has long occasioned, to them and the country in others, is seen in the pa ralyzing influence it has upon the Agricultural inte rests. We could pursue this topic farther than might he pleasant, with refere►►ce to its consequences to the empire at large, and the means of averting or remedy ing these alarming evils ; bat we will close our obser• aro f1...... .___ _. ...__.;.....__ reu.a. rations at present by making the following qll O . l . ' lion from the Dublin Evening Post, inucfroive o f the state of the agricultural interest of Ireland. " Almost in every county in Ireland the Tenants have declared th..ir inability to meet the demand s o f their Immlloids. Some have already lowered their rents, 10, 20, 25, 30, per cent. but it is supp,s.j, that those under lenses from the year 1801 and up. wards, cannot afford to bold, eten -if there was a I depreciation in their refit cif 'at per cent. 11 0T10 ,, iwhich three or four years ago brought 601. may now :be easily procured for 401. Oats, in the country, i s for seven shillings a barrel, anti 11tsef and Mutton, ! which a year ago was tettpence and a shillin 4 p ee pound in the interior, is now at Si. an-I eld. The re is a most ntfarious' effort making to keep up the Dublin markets, but it cannot long continue. Now, when he 'receives such miserable return for his in. dustry, it is totally impossible for (he farmer to t i ly hii rents. The fact is, that emigrat! on, and to an alarming amount, will soon take place. France hul,ls out many tempting advantages to the annuitant. These advantages hare been embraced, particularly by the middle order of the English Gentry. It is corn. puted, even now, when the Peace has scarcely been of silt months' duration, that England already loses at the rate of five millions annually, in absentees. But to the Irish farmer—to the Irish ' middleman—to the manufacturer—to the artizan— and even to the peasant, if he could afford his pas. 1 sage, America presents a prospect the most tempt ing, indeed. The land only wants hands to dear and till it ; it can be had in some places at the fee o f , : a dollar or two an acre. 'No doubt, that acre would • cost many dollars to prepare it for grain ; but two crops would pay the purchase.money and the labour etpended on its preparation. The farmer must hare a little capital certainly—bet he can sow with the satisfaction of being certain that he shall reap, and stack the entire prodece in his haggard, without any fear that the parson or • the proctor, the grand jury ' jobber, or the parish conetahle, will subtract, from the fruits of his industry, tithes, to support a system which he bolds in religious abhorrence—or taxes, .to feed the cupidity of the village tyrant. This subject • is full of matter; bat we shall dismiss it for the pre. sent. We cannot conclude, however, without re. marking, that the etistersce of a great Republic, within a month'S Joarney of Europe, is a blessing to humanity, and a comfort, even in thought, to the 'Meted, the oppressed, and the persecuted of all ua. I tions." We have given n brief minute of tl.e proceedings of a Meeting of Land Owners at Lewes yesterday. We shall probably make some observations to.mor. tow upon the Resolutions adopted on this occasion. The Gazelle of this evening is expected In contain a further Ordinance,. which 'was signed at ii:i„hten two days ngo by his Royal Highness the PRINCE RE. GENT, relative to the new Carsles of the Order of she Bath, according to which fifteen of the moss ditdin. guished Officers in the East India Company's ger vice, will be advanced to the dignity of K ii;ghts Comman ders ; and a proportionate numbr-r of Wirers he. longing to the same army, will he admitted into the third Class as Companions of the Order. The marines of Plymouth division are weekly re• ducing to the peace establishment; we understand the number to be kept is 5000 effective men. A requisition has been sent to the High Sheriff of Hants, requesting him to give public notice of a Meeting, in the course of next week, to petition Parliament on the subject of the Property Tax ; and the inhabitants of Winchester have made a requisi tion of the same kind.
