The Statesman. — London, England, 1810-09-28 00:00:00

THE STATESMAN, . - from a Minister, who could so stupidly or so arro gantly err respecting America ? Aay thing to ex pect or one who could throw the Trade with the United States away, to indulge in ill-timed usurpa tion, and insulting , explanations ? Can the country hire any respect for a man who betrayed his col. league. while sitting in the Cabinet with him, and afterwards shot at him in vindication of his trea chery ? Are we really got thus far in infamy ? God forbid ! The nation must stop soon, and get back into an honest path, or be lost for ever; and let us hope that this desperate proof of rushing still further towards the precipice will not be given. —This maniac proof of replacing Mr. CANNING in the Cabinet. In truth, if Mr. CANNING were as honest, as he affects to be wise, he is not a man to serve this country, by re viving either commercial or public confidence. He has just so much of erigramatic talent as can offend, but he has no wit to conciliate, which 'is what is wanted. He has not even the disposition to accept of useful conciliation, procured by another, as was eminently wit nessed in his throwing America away, when Mr. ERSKINE (by taking Mr. CANNING'S pro fessed meaning instead of his latent one) had conciliated America, and made her as much your own, as if she had been subject to you. If, there fore, Mr. PERCEYAL and my Lord WELLESLEY want bullion, if they would bring that back to England, let them shun the presence of Mr. CAN. NINO. ONNIUIK, and the BANK, can never re. wive under the additional weight of Mr. CAN- Nino's counsels and influence in the Cabinet.— As to Mr. IlusKissott , lie is remembered by the nation with affection, for his honest and most im portant service, in recommending retrenchment in the public expenditure, and stating, that nothing but a retrenchment to the amount of 21,000,0001., picr: annum, could bring our expenditure within ()tor receipt. Mr. HusxfssoN may serve the State, and if he proceed upon his own views he will serve it, and we therefore wish to see him iu the Cabinet ! We have ever looked upon Mr. LANCASTER'S Plan of Education as one of the most useful im. provements of the present day. Unostentatious, it silently produces beneficial effects that will be felt in this country to an incalculable degree, when its author is in the tomb, and nothing remains of him It oat reported yesterday that Peace was restored but his memory, embalmed in every honest and warm bete ern . tbe Turks and the Russians. The preli. heart. It is Reroant spreading its benig n influ suinaries, it is said, were signed on the 3d of the e nee without danger of convulsion, and u naccom. present month. This last article of intelligence is panied by the evils of a change by violence.— _ very probable. If .k.t.ex.% NORM is not the greatest It is a change; bnt it is a change from (hat general jdeot alive, he will pursue this war with 'Turkey corruption which has been overspreadiog this land, no (lath, r; foolish ut the but, and doubly foolish to a better sense of morals, and a less prueigate ;.in the present situation of the Russian Empire, a n d b rn t a l lif e . I t i s surpr i z i ng how ' ignorant our Nateeeeox almost in arms against it! labouring classes arc. Many of them, in cense ' • 1 quence of their ignorance, arc below the beasts of We Isere given an article from The Moniteur, re the fiele, in feeling and understanding. They are twctinOhe conduct of the English in Spain and unfit for the best purposes of society, and are its Portugal. As far is the policy of our Ministers is nuisance as they arc its disgrace.—But Mr. concerned. there is too much truth in this philippic. LaNcerrett's plan does go to mend this cep - But it is unjust to the late SitJOHN MOORE. That dition of the labouring class, and that very - .Officer was thrown, by the blunders of our Cabe.: generally. It is highly gratifying, to see • how net, into a situatieo, from tellich no talents, no extensively this simple, yet powerful scheme is • courage, could snore eft-ctually extricate his operating throughout every part of the country.— itrmy than be did. He was sacrificed, and the not • Schools spring up daily, in which his efficacibte • Pneech (if they had' any generosity) wou ld principles of teaching are adopted, and where one Peer up his memory as a second sacrifice. As to was educated before, hundreds arc now. Nor is it the Itloniteur talking of the liberality of France to merely to teach them to know something, that this commerce wherever she conquers, it is really a eicajeu ' t man has turned his mind. Although he . .good jest ; and the French must be in a pitiable situation, if they are compelled to hear such things exsasprehended that knowledge could not beacquired generally without some general improvement iu the gravely ! morals of the People, he did not trust • wholly The Morning Post has said that Sir Jono St N. to that ; but he included in his plan, the ac. • tual rractice, and the inevitable, direct practice vitt it's P imphlet is an able production; we mean the Baronet's last Pamphlet (for he is a great Author), of morals. He mends his boys, by Informin g the attack upon the BULLION COMMITTEE. Sir their minds; and he mends their habits by th e Jon SINCLAIR, however, aided by his Pupil practice of industry, order, docility, and rati o n a l obedience. We talk of statues to heroes, and " Mr. RANDALL JACKSON, has matte the affair where the name of hero is NOT mi s applied it of the Oink 'so much worse than he found it, as it was left by the BULLION COMMITTEE, is well. But no deed, ur life of heroism, is more and has involved the TREASURY and the CA. deserving of any of the h o nour s which the arts can shed upon utan, or a grat e ful nati o n off er , . pr in such desperate circumstances, by' his dcfence of them, that it is resolved, by the ostcnsi. than he who has actually rescued s o many th en . ble PREMIER, and the real Piteutea (Mr. Pence- sands from a state of brutal i g n o rance, and' has vat. and my Lord WELLESLEY), - to Na il i n t h e a i d planted a rout whose great b ows shall shelter from g 1 . of Mr. C.

Viewing this s u b. 10 bring those gentlemen into Administration, i s i n ject as we do, it is with extreme pl easure we f o l. ‘• great progress; and it is believed has little or no low Mr. LANCASTER with our n o ti ce , a n d w ith • difficulty in the way.

We have this moment received the melancholy in. telligence that Mr. AIRAUAII Got.osattp shot Mik e self this morning, about eight o'clock, at his houses at Merton. Ho had yesterday discharged all hil servants. The consternation on the Exchange, oc casioned by this event; is not to be described.-- Osmium was ilond as low as 10 per ccut. discounti, and the Consols fell to 631. ..- . . _ His Royal Highness the Prince of War.Es gave a grand dinner yesterday, at Carleton House, to his Royal Highness the Duke of CotaticaLtuo and se. veral Military Officers. The Duke of NORFOLK is at present, with asolect party of convivial friends, at Home Lary, in Here fordshire. On Wednesday he splendidly enter. tained the Mayor and Corporalion of Hereford. The venerable and scientific Sir JOSEPH BANKS is now at his seat, in Lincolnshire, cujoying the parting rays of summer. Lords YARMOUTH and DoNCIAS are upon a short visit to Sir JOSEPH. Mr. HORNE TOOKE was considered worse yester. day. He is attended by Dr. PEARSOII. The Lord Bishop of ST. MANI has collated the Rev. JAMES DRAKE, A. M.

P. for the County of Roscommon), is about to proceed on active service with a brigade of heavy cavalry, which is to consist of those two highly disciplined and distinguished corps, the sth and 7th Dragoon G uards. We are reluctantly obliged to state, that several,. new failures were announced yesterday, and that Omnium fell to 61 discount. This is very strange, nay wondrous strange, after the notable pamphtot of Sir JOHN SINCLAIR ) and the celebrated speech of Mr. JACKSON. MATHIAS ROODER, of Lubeck, failed lately for two millions and a half of marks, equal to about 250,0001. sterling. Most of the bankers in Paris are considerable creditors. Letters received yesterday from Amsterdam and RoitZrdain to the 25th inst. rate, that the Dutch will be placed by BONATARTE in the situation of the Papal Territories, subject to the laws of France, but not identified with the Empire. The English Offici.r and boat's crew, who were recently made prisoners at Marstrami, hive been ordered by the Swedish Government to tie released.

'file Imperial Decree which lately appeared in France, by which the different Political Journals published in the Departments Were placed under the inspection of the Prefects, has. given occasion to a similar order from the Count Vow WOLTKADT, thd Westphalian Minister for the Home Department, with reference to Westphalia. Tki Journals and Gazettes are, in every department, pitftd ender the inspection and censorship of the Prefect, who is to take care that nothing appear in them which may craittprotnise the interests of the kingdom of France and her allies, and particularly those of the German Confederation. t.
