But, befog, wi proceed to these subjects, we moot offer i reo44llw.wit. on what wassaid on the Petition by Mr. , J. MaatlN.'Who 'is, we believe, the son of Old Mr. • Mimi, SAo waS in the place so many years, and who wan a banker of Teockesbury. This Mr. J. DIAIIITIN wished the lionseto reject the Petition altogether, or, if they did not do that, not to separate without coming to a • specific RESOLUTION, never to reduce the in terest of Me Debt! The house knew better! The Ministers knew better then attempt either. If they had done the first, they knew that there would be enotkeieolinty meeting in Kent, leaving our, not the additional Ounce, but a sentence, or some words, in • the body of the petition, which alleged, that the mtney was expended in obtaining a corrupt injluenee in Me House, anti which might hate been made a ground aad which was the only possible ground, foi rejecting this petition. If they had done the served they would only have reminded 'people of their having once solemnly resolved, that a one pounder and a shil ling. were equal in value to a guinea in *coin and were so demised by tire public; and, of their having, in shout a •mooth afterwards., passed os lea to compel landlords to take paper in payment of rent instead of the gold that they had contracted fur, and to punish people for giving more a sue . . • pounder and a shilling for a guinea". The resole lion, so sighed for by Mr, J. arm would, in fact, only have .tended to convince people, that the game teas hp.' The Min' knew better than to at tempt either of these expedients ; and, therefore, they prudently swallowed the charge about public money etpended in corrupting Me House, tithing which even the •Itadicals darer said to them is such plain len guage.—Being upon -this subject, we will notice a little stupid vapouring-in a paper, calling itself the `Trarclfer, and that others call the Tramper. 'tines . -odd enough, that this paper. Which is the main instru ment in the hands of the Westminster Ramp, should. run counter, in . this way, to Sir PIRANCIS BUIDETT • but, in the first place, be is now is the right, and the • villainous Rump is always in the wrong. Is thy next place, the Tramper inbound up Is a sort of partnership • with co/maws-stuck Societies in London. It is, in aloft, a trading cotter's of Jews and Jobbers.—The Tramper asserts that then is no necessity fora reduc tion of the interest pi the debt; that there are five Misdeal thousand persona interested in preventing it; that they an sere auseroas this the perms Wes- ,ailied is dig land.

As" , to the five hundred thousand Ferries interested in Maintain ing payment of three for one, where aye they? How comes it that not a man of them was 'found at this great meeting in Kent? If there, what port of spirit meat they bare ? Sat, what gross stapHite Sup posing the five hundred thousand person" exist, what ate they, compared with thosnloterettig4ll,lo land!

He certainly —exploit that the Yeomanry and Militia will be •on the side of the fondholders ; • and this is to eery aenreel a con clusion. that we shall leave it where it i.; but, as tn ' Lis talking about the robbery of friendly societies and savings banks for the " sake of Dukes and Bishops," he must not expect to gull us in this way. The re formers of 1817 knew very well what they were-about- They sere chiefly of the class of operative lewsanfac-; turns. They petitioned to be protected against!'thel Debt called National ;" and well they _might; foe they knew that the taxes took away one-half of their wages, and that four-fifths of that half were occasioned by the debt. But who proposes any such thing as a robbery of benefit societies and saving banks ? Tbs people of Kent, pray for a just reduction of the debt and though Lord Jon° RIASELL cannot discover Shill there eau be a just redaction of the debt, he will be taught what it ie in the copra' of a year; apd In the mean time we can tell the Tramper that it Would be unjust to take from benefit societies and taring banks that which they have deposited from deep•laid dele tion or from compulsion. No : no matt has ever dreamt of .such a thing. A just reduction means, as Mr. Monet pointed out, a diserieriteatiag reduction. In means thatalte Jews and Jobbers should not have ;three for wee ;. and in putting in esti 4° .Nei attune injustice, the common labourer is as die 'Wrested ea the first lord is the land ; nay. he It Yore deeply interested in it; for he suffers bodily from this iitolerable load of taxes, aid the lord does not. The labourer Las been pinched for years and years; helms been debased into a pauper; reduced to a.state of ab ject slavery ; his days have been shortstops% by :those • diseases which arise from. rzW:ks s Wilhiplo: the last stage of misery is come. teen wo- hive the oa ten! Minh of this Hellish systee of paper-money sod of National Debts. Hire we see what it comes to at last. The misery and the buntings in Norfolk and Suffolk flow from the same accursed source. In the midst of peace with the rest of the world, n have eternal war in our own bowels; and this war 'eau cease until this Debt be greatly reduced. Re form! This wretched Troniper pretends to be the friend of Reform. Does he not know that it is this Debt that has all along prevented Reform. Does be sot recollect that the Debt was first established in or der to bind the base and selfish part of the people to the Government, and thereby to snake it too strong, for the rest? Has be forgotten, that, io 1817. when' the Bill was passed to cram Reformers into dungeons, the funds rose instantly ; and bas he forgotten that the infamous bands of Jews and Jobbers issued a de claration against us, sod thanked the ministers for having procured the passing of that Bill. In abort, it is this accursed crew that stand between the nation and its freedom and happiness. In the Lords (on Friday) the Marquess of LANS• nowt's made a motion -Web was to declare that the House " thought the state of Ireland required the at " notion of Parliament, and the adoption of measures to io;prove its conditiat and secure its traw l uillity." Lord Lir TRPOOL moved the previons question on this; and finally Lord LANSDOWNes motion was rejected by 108 against 60. There was nothing new irt the de- Late, and nothing very interestiog; except that Lord LANSDOWNE, having spoken about tyikes, and deno minated them taxes, the LORD CHANCILLLOI observed in answer, that the property of the church had as good a title as that of the Noble Marquess. and that another Noble Lord ought to remember t bo t .had no mote right to interfere With thri'prs ' r etort", Church than he, the LORDCHANCELLOR.iIa a right to in- I infer' with his property. If this be sound doctrine, how comest•tthatthe Parliament does so often interfere with Church property; as,for instance.by cot:Tellies the rec tor to give so much a year to a curimend the like; not to mention the total alienation ors part of the property by Act of Parliament, under the name of lend-tax ? To us, it appears most whimsical to consider toile., glebe% and church laud as any thing other as° public property, to be disposed of as the Parliament shall think best for the nation, whether in part payment of the lot of the debt, or for soy other purpose. .In the Centmons, Stu J•wes biscuit...rout bad the very great misfortune to tteTrepared fur a line speech oo the Alien Di:Aaiun the lively subject 'of theKeotish Petition;` and, as would appear from Ole plaintive commencement of the worthy lawyer's Spuds, It ap pears that he found himself pretty quickly stirrouaded, in great part, at lust, by empty benches. Mr. Mutt moved nu ajouroment of the debate, which the House did not agree to. After which the Hill was read a se coed dow, the House continuing to be very this.

Ur LORD—You now, it may be presumed, must perceive the beoefit of these meetings, in which the elevated and the humble corns together*. equal terms ; where--not the weight of purse, but ofargunseut,—not the extent of acres, but of information sod talent, give direction to the public mind; as they have dose at the late County Meeting for Kent, on the subjects of the debt, which is called National ; and on the spe cies of the presentation, *birth is indicated by the term Universal Soli age. It being the wisdom of legislation to keep pace Itrith the knowledge of tie age, it-mill be worth your Lordship's while to go to the bottom of these two questions; and, instead of drawing cooclosiuns from false remises, to ground you : future conduct on sound pa pies. FFiirst then, in respect of the debt, we are to enrolee, in what systems of policy, the debt, which is called na tional, originated ; as well as on what authority it was contracted. It is matter of undeniable historical fact, that a/ending . System was utterly unknown prior to the Revolution of 4311. It is equally well known, that it was a scheme for answering tiro purposes ; one, to enable our new Dutch King to wage a war that gratified his propensities; the other, to create a sup port of his government, on a very different •fnunda.; ties from that of personal attachment ; namely, by engaging as many persons as possible in Isis support, bet borrowing their money, for the interest of which they should depend on the future tares : a crafty lied vil lainous policy, whereby it was contrived that, for the benefit of political Jews, the rest of t;'- cutaluttoiq should be metamorphosed into beasts of horde°.
