The Ministerial Papers are, endeavouring to shew the proaperity of England, by vaunting accounts of the exeeedings of introave-imid „tstattants,, of the present year. We: had met that fallady by antidpation, in showing that the trade tvf Ehg. ' land Is no Wager reel, that she has tin balance in her faiour . .any where, and that thaexports are sent, out, either not to sell, or sell far lose. Thu Morning Chronicle of this day has an. %were , ' these paper statements very properly; and has, in few words, devtloped the nature of their error. Wu aro glad The Morning Chronicle has done so ; because it has a large circulation, and is very justly in high repute, and Can serve the cause of truth, and the interests of tlapeOplo., Rut we do a little lament, that the writers iu that Paper, who have had much experience, and have a good deal of knowledge, should not have learnt that it is weakness and cowardice only, that leads men to be disingenuous, and that he who his a, conscious strength never is afraid of acknowledging an error. Bozo has The Chronicle answered the bffuhterial Pa. pers ? Could any one have dreamt of the ,an. Se y Will any one believe it, utter reading The Chronick of to.day ? Will . not people rather think that they NW treititing in their sleep, and ,hearing things that are not P Is it possible' to credit this fact—that The Chronicle had. to. elai answered the Ministerial Writers by the oi* ',gement we used in answering some Omatnerelal summons, in The Chronicle, a fray or tan since ? The Chronicle ought to have lope* receded from its errors, if convinced, by., us; and certainly ought not to have stolen away from Its bad p2sition to creep into our strong bold. We say thus much to that paper, as a sincere admonitioa to itself ; for, we cannot be sorry, that The Chronicle, by its great circulation, has given new currency to a doctrine which we did , sad (since thin adoption of The Chronicle) Wow more firmly hold to be of the first import &pee. Until England sees the nature of her tubas, she can never revive; and we are glad Chronicle works together with us, fur the Itholesome purpose of opening her eyes, at , present dosed up with worse than plum.tree gum !,..get although The Chronicle has well argued the mat ter, and we have already shown, that it is not sending goods to II ELIGOt AN D 1 GIBRALTAR, MALTA, and Seem America, where they are [socked up, or sold for less than the first cost, that will enrich E NOLA NB ? we may, perhaps, use. fully just touch this argument again. .EXPOATS pre of pp use, unless they bring back some • that we want, or chuse to have, 'to the r fell extent or the value of the exports, toge. ther with a little balance that smut eventually be paid in the precious metals. It is this balance that Intakes therapies of wealth in a Nation ; we say fintrplus, for we should chuse to place all that we. being from foreign countries among the stalk of . Our wealth. But if there is no exceeding of - one EXPeeTs, there is no Wealth, in the ordinary sense si the word; sad in point of fact, there can be no precious metals, to back out the paper circulation, and in a sterling meaner to represent the weelth that it in stock, &c.
