DEczwess 27. MO* The injudicious anxiety of the Ministers to be hold their deeds lauded in Addresses to the KING, and to cost at the ►acne tine the severe reproach of disloyalty and sedition uponitheir opponents of every class throughout the kingdom. will place them at the meeting of Parliament in an awkward di lemma, from which not even the ingenuity of Lord CASTLYR6AGII can easily extrizate them. They must either confess that the charges preferred against the people were false, and that no traces of the crimes alleged were discernible except in their own bewildered fancies, or they must commit to stand eissivieted of want of energy, wisdom, and ca pacity, fur not having made a single effort to check the foul contagion of such dangerous criminality. The guilt must surely be very apparent, at least to ministerial eyes, which could call forth loud and angry invectives, joined with pitiable lament'. nuns from the Cabinet and its immediate adherents in oil parts of the empire ; nor could it, from the 'Ettore of the charges alleged, he so limited in action, or be confined to individuals so few and so reserved, as nut to have afforded many opportunities of vindicating the authority of the laws, and the outraged nrijesty of society by the legal conviction and punishment of wicked and desperate offenders. The imputed crimes of stslition, blasphemy, libel, disrespect to the person and government of the KING, tumultuous And seditious meetings, the violation of the public peace, and various other offesices of the same class. are all known to the laws of our country ; and it was only in the Session of ['Aliment before the lust that the Legislature, at the special demand of the Ministers of the Crown, consented to strengthen the hands of Go vernment with respect to this very class of offences, to the degree required by the Ministers themselves. if the crimes now imputed by the M • tens be really in existence, why are mot the g uilt y indivi duals prosecuted, and let us hear no more whin ing and whimpering about the prevalence of offeuces which the laws are capable of checking, but which the Government adopts no measures to restrain. For what purpose are laws made but to prevent or punish guilt ? and shall it be endured that a Goternment armed with extraordinary powers, intrusted to its discretion fur the protectioo of so ciety, shall indulge.iii idle lamentations at the rapid growth of crime, have recourse to addresses for cor recting its peruicions influence, and suffer the sa lutary terrors of the law to remain inactive ? The Ministers, however, white they affect to lament the existence of an evil, are williug to suffer private in dividuals to undertake the punishment of the of fenders. Thus we tied that a new prosecution has been commenced agiiiist that wretched woman, Mrs. CAaLILE, fur some blasphemous publication, but t he prosecution is commenced, slot fly the AT TORNF.Y-GaNERAL on behalf of the Government, hut by the Society for the Suppression of Vice. Is this miserable woman the only culprit in the country ? is her shop the only mart for seditious and blispliemout publications ? are her solitary exertions the only !RUM that are or have been mode' to overturn the whole fabric of the Christian relis Om, and pull down the pillars of the ConStitution? If there he other offenders equally daring and equally formidable, we have a right. to complain of the inactivity of the Ministers in not enforcing the laws for the welfitrs of society ; and we are well convinced that there is slot a man in the em pire whose good opinion is worth possessing, who would not rejoice .in the conviction and punish ment of those who commit such offences as are ins puled in the Ministerial Addresses, and recog-" raised in the Answers which the Ministers instruct theliton to return. We will venture to affirm on the part of the legitimate Whigs, that suds are their sentiments upon this subject. They love their KIND as ardently as any Tory in the empire; they venerate the Constitution, which they Wu- When the state of the country shall he made the topic of consideration in Parliament, as it iso doubt will on the lint night of sitting, ►houtd the Mi nisters venture to urge a charge of disaffection, as they now do in their daily exercises against any portion of the people, they will be met with this counter charge of apathy and neglect—apathy end neglect not from any tenderness for the guilty. should guilt exist, but for purposes less wise and more selfish. Rut does not this apparent remisaticas on the part of the Government to enforce the exist - iug laws for the suppression of crime, naturally justify the presumption that sedition and disloyalty, libels and blasphemy, have not risen to that alarm ing height which the Ministers and their agents im pute ? We have heard that persons have been known to hawk chap publications of a seditious nature through the country, but we do not think so ill of the local magistracy as not to feel convinced that if this statement were true we should long since have heard of the arrest and punishment of • these itinerant venders of sedition. We have heard charges of libels against the public press, but fur our own parts we have no where wen libels so gross, so atrocious, so revolting to every hottest and generous feeling, as have appeared in the Ministerial Paper 4. We have heard charges of blosplienty, and a prosecution has been commenced sitg,atnst Mrs. CARLILE by private indivi►tuals ! We have heard of sedition too, but it has not been marked by a single act of violence. IVe have looked for it iti vain, have challenged those who impute it to point out one instance of sedition on the part of any portion of the people, hut our challenge hay not been answered. In %shot then consist the motives of public alarm ? The Ministerial Prints c 'isnot tell us, we must wait the meeting of Parliament to hear some explanation from their masters. Paris Paper• not haviog arrived since our last, We are still in doubt respecting the correctness of the report which we published yesterday of the passage of the Po by the Ausiriau army. The event was in itself probable, and the apparent precision with winch the number of the divisions forming the line of march, and the names of the Generals command. ing the divisions respectively were mentioned, gave to the report au imposing air of authenticity.

An alliance between these great Powers, founded on principles of reciprocity, and of mutual benevolence and good will, is on event which the interests not only of both nations, but of Europe in general, imperiously demand. The alliance to which the Frankfort article refers, is, of course, one of a commercial nature, and is, we understand, actually entertained Ivy the resptetive Cabinets. It is said to be in contemplation to reduce the import duties on certain enumerated articles, from 75 to 15 per cent. did valorem—a rate which would increase the consumption in both countries of the articles which they respectively want, and which, while it puts an end to the expensive and useless preventive system, would in all pro liability, rather add to than diminish the revenue. 0 • i z "'~ s • TIII DUCHESS OF CL•ARENCE AM) THE PRINCESS ELIZABETH.
