Give them employment, by which they may be able to procure food and clothing for their families, and we venture to assert, that not a happier and more contented people bill be fuund on the face of the earth. If some disorder has lately arisen from the beat of necessaries, let an appeal he made to the judgment of our countrymen, as to the impropriety of violence; let apart of'tbe money wasted in foolish expeditions, and in pensioning uudeserviug individu als, be applied to their relief; and instead of presenting a bayonet to their bosoms, let the REGENT implore tbeM, in language becoming the Father of his People, not to forget the duty which they owe to him, and to themselves, and there can be no doubt that such of them as have erred will speedily be convinced of their folly. But if the reign of terror is to be established, this will assuredly produce a contrary effect, and in- Iroise, instead of diminishing the evil. The causes which have brought about the present public calaMity, have been secrotly corking ever since the commence ment of the war; but nothing tended so powerfully to hasten the crisis as the promulgation of the Orders in Council. These have now operated nearly five years, during the greater part of which, the country has borne the most unheard-of privations, scarcely M about a murmur ; yet, before two short weeks are allowed to expire from the date of the D'claration re pealing these obnoxious decrees, do we find Ministers determined to overcome, by force of arms, those un }rimy OCCIMIFeIiCe4,- Millith, a. few -weeks kessee„iss. dulgence, joined to treatment such as we have recom mended, could not fail to counteract.
