enforcement, as the first guarantee or the pub- ' he peace, and the most solid basis of a con stitutional monarchy; and that the Chamber prays the KING to preserve that law in its utmost extent. The Chamber determined that it would bear the derelopentents of this Resolution on the ‘Virlites- J.v following, in Secret Committee. The project o f the law relating to the trade anal minufacture of gunpowder, was adopted by the Charnl►er. Several ',onions were p►esented to the Chamber an Saturday, but of these perhaps the most singu lar was one from an individual apparently possessed of various schemes of taxation, who prayed of the Chamber that a premium may be offered by way of encouragement for ingenious permits who might dev►se new taxes. This fellow should have pro ceeded by other means, if he sought encnuragru►ea.t from those most interested in promoting the exten sion of taxes, but should lie fail of sriccess iu France, no doubt he and his huilgrtall be favour ably received by a certain set of Ministers not far from Whitehall. Tie Moister of War, Mar Aral Govvlnts Se. CYR, IS dangerously ill of a it, tl ox ion o f t h e chest. The KING is still unable to 1.-ave Isis apartments, but he devotes himself without inter thission to the nfrairs of the State. The Fund: continue to decline. The Five per C. IliF. on S,at%i,alay closed at 67 francs. Bank stock a! 1,190 francs. We have received Mtlifux Papeis to the 3.1 ult. but Ifiry roiltain 110 11.2 WP. Petnions still continue to be presented to the II iwe of C'ennmons from various mats of the country, praying for assistance to the agricultural interests of the country by the imposition of pro tectiog duties. Although we dissent most heartily from the prayer of theree Petitions, co far as the pre:posed means of relief is concerned, we cannot bit consider these Petitions as affording irrefragable center re of the very distressed state of the hoed hohleis, fanners, aud agriculturists in general. i t i .t tcs ., it is evident, dots not originate within their we t. healy, for the agriculture of every coun try, with respect to the support of those employed in it, is the most independent occupation in the community, but it flows from the wreteheil c time of the manufacturers, of whom a eery large propottion t-, flow the pressui of taxation and the cousegner.t low wages of labour, thrown no the land for support. Notwithstanding Lord CAs . r boast, in the presetice of the country genet oleo, that the nation n.,s eminently prosperous, it will be imperative opine Parliament in the pre-sent Session to extend some relief to the people. I,:est evening the Ilustraiolry Horses Bill was ordersel to be rr roininitred, for the purpose, as Mr. BROGDEN said, of having its provisions reconsidered. We hope, from this circumstance, that some pity has at length been felt for the sufferings of the people, and that this most oppressive and impolitic tax, which seems t:r have been devised by malicious in genuity as the most effectual means of preventing ihe imioreiveinelit of agriculture, will be repealed. This is the only mode of uffordihg protection to the agricu:tutists, which will be an unequivoc.l hoop to them, without throwing an injury upon the other classes of society. An attempt having been made to introduce the Anti-Cutholic Petition into the Barracks of Dub hn fur signatures, and thus convert the Glirrison of that City into a Political Association, this high cirence 1135 been promptly and wisely investigated Ly General WittTE, and the following Regimental Order has been issued :-- o R. 0.

WESTMINSI ER ELECTION. To he forced into publicity is a great discomfort 1 to those who wisii to he private. This isifliction, a however, is a ran of the many blessings shed upon a society by the tactics of those triad friends of liberty I MIA decorum. the Jacubiii Sosias of the Covent garden If ostiogs. The Jupiter of this radiant (4. mini, Sir Faancts BURDETT, appears by the re ports ad hi* speech of yesterday, to have compli. melded the writer of the following said with • a I greater knowledge of Election iniquities than is possessed by any other mortal man. Sir FRAMCis quoted a poet in the same speech. In that cele brated author the Honourable Baronet will find the fullo•ing couplet : Tbe world l knew, bat amide ft sot sia rids ; And in a seem of fully lived no fool. If it were true that the person alluded to really possessed all the imputed knowledge of • election iniquity. the merit would not he the less of dis claming to practise it. Now, if during 39 years' connexion with Westniiuster and with other elec tions, any • election iniquity' can be proved against that person—if through all the violence of so many contests, a single instance can be shewn of that person's having traduced the private characterof any nisei, still less of any woman, he will sign a carte • blanche, to he filled up with a confession of every crime that can he invented by Jacobin malevolence, dipping its pen into the gall which traced the pla card of Friday last against some Noble Ladies, living and dead. The still surviving females may, by • the daily beauty' of their innoxious lives, ex tinguish ally foul impres-ion from that placard— but, how can the dull cold ear of the deceased de fend itself against such vileness ? Until that odious, unmanly, inhuman, impious, execrable placard made the chief part of Friday's Covent.garden pageant, the writer of ' the card' strictly aolherral to his original determination of not voting or canvassing in the election; and Ise de clares dial if on 11w side of Mr. LAME, the Ladies in behalf of Mr. Hoanousa were vilified by ally thing like equal atrocity, his conviction of the uni versal destruction that intuit be the infallible result of the success of Jacohinium, could scarcely have pret ruled hint from voting for Mr. Hoatiousx. With regard to the misreprisentatioas of Mr. Fox, the coninidiction, as far as it went, by Mr. LatiBTON, is quite exact. The extent, however, of the systematic perversion of every thing referable to Mr. Fox by the Jacobin party in this contest, can only lie known front tradition, if known at all, to even the Noble authorities quoted in Mr. LAMB• TON'S contradiction. But the Jacobin assailers of the dead may he assured that their conduct shall not be forgotten. In the meanwhile, to that impartiality, which is more honourable to a public Journal than any pos sible partisanship, the writer addresses h.mself, for inserting, word for word, the card which has fur. wished occasion for !Ilia unexpected assault; with the correct detail .of which the person interested is, at this unsinesit, but imperfectly acquainted.
