L 0 N D 0 N, 7.UE31 - 1, AUGUST 11, 1312. Another day bas elapsed without the arrival of the expected dispatches from Lord WEI-Lir but we trust that in our next publication we have an opportunity of relieving the anx:ety of our Readers upon this subject. . Accounts have been received fyoui Sweden that the Expedition from that Kingdom is on the point of sailing. It is represented as being much more . , formidable than we have been hitherto led,to be - lieve ; a very considerable Russian force is to embark with it. The destination of this force is not known ; the general opinion seems to be Pomerania, but some persons suppose that it will be landed considerably higher up thelltic. We are mostanxions to hearOf its departure, because a body of 50,000 men acting in the rear of.Buo-, SAPAIITE, Whether in Pomerania Or in the neigh bourhood of Dan4ic, would, in all Probability, give a decided turn to the campaign, • . Letters were yesterday received. in town from Cluebec, which ,state, that tkVo. British ships whiCh bad been taken by the Americans On Lake On tario had been restored to their owners. From this a.ccou'Ut, and others which have reached this country, there is reason to believe that some change has taken place in the disposition of the American `xectitive. It is stated,% \ at the knowledge oLthc death of Mr.XEacr.var. has produced this change : we.are inclined to attribute it to other causes: we believe that the strong expressions of dissatisfac-, tion which have ,proceeded frtnn the whole mcr -cant ile interest of America have led to the change, if indeed that change shall have taken place. If 'Cie accounts which have been received by way • of Liverpool arc correct, the conduct ofAmerica to •wa.rds. this country has been most singular. • "While she was at peace' with us, she passed the most severe laws against qur commerce, and the nio r went she declares war against us, she begins to rrpcal them L peace she is hostile, and in war Decific. We tordi some notice of Major CARiAt'irrMiti. ; speech, addressed to the motley.ltieeting on Wed nesdaY last, in Palace-yard ; but the chkf orator of the day, Sir FRANC:s BUllDETT, : uttered many things, wiiieh seem to shewthat nbthing _will cure him of his political follies. VW Baronet was evidently mortified that ':"O very indifkrent nil au dience attended him, scanty in nuMber, zna of a very low description.. fie .appeared to feel very sensibly, that the lower, 'Vve might almost say, the lowest order of the people arc his chief admireri ; and he vented tom! bitter 'complaints - against • the men of property who were ab s ent,--for, speaking . of the Gentlemen of England, he said, " it really seemed as jf they took no interest whatever in the land-411ot they would patiently. •allow their estates to be • taken ftwoy, under their noses,. without the least eif j oll." We beg leave to ask the Worthy B:ironet;. Whether the MeMbers of the House of Lords and Cermisons May not, be considered as.' Gentlemen of England, themselves, and as the representatives of those Gentlemen who are not in Parliament, 'as _well of the collective body of the people 'not - these Persons attend their duty in Parliament, and are they more likely to have " their estates taken away under their. noses" than the Baronet and his Party, who, affect to pbssess all the wisdom and virtue in, the country, for they avowedly despise. the Talenti, as they are called, and are not less sparing of at , tack's on them, than in their abuse of Ministers. and their 'friends ? Rut he proceeded to say that, " the Gentlemen.of this country would tamely sit qt home, and suffer all this to be done without the smallest expression of complaint, out of fear that the people of this country might he lei to re assert their rights."—Surely the Baronet will admit that, his Party are to be classed .among " the Gentlemen of the country,' and' if so, he cannot deny that they vent their coin plaints pretty f-eely, wherever they can get. a mob. to attend them.. But the Baronet, we.suppose, is angry, because the men of property do not at tend his Meetings, and listen to his harangues. We hOpe the men of property, or gentlemen, as the Baronet calls them, will never so fat forget their rank in the State, for, if they do, they will ,sink into contempt, and' lose all the influence yliich they might derive from their talents and possess; ~ a s. ,Bet what are the rights Which the Bat ry - s .ys the Gentlemen of this country are. acr, ;hat the people might •be led to the right of innovatiou, under a pr nded reform of Parliament; the right , to overturn our good old Constitution, in or der to re-mould it upon the model of France, that we may indeed have a Senate, like that of the French Usurper, who would, in the natural course of things, " sit tamely," to use the words cf Sir FRANCIS, and not only let some military despot, who might arise among us, pursuing the model of that Usurp er, take away " under their , noses" what property he liked, but dispose of his unfortunate subjects just as his ambition might re quire. The Baronet, it seems, is, not cared of his partiality foi Annual Elections. It is need less 'to dwell upon what. has been so often shewn, viz. that if Annual Elections were to take place,. the whole year .might be, employ- . , ed in the formation of a Parli3nnent and the business of the State stand still, to say no thing of popular tumults 'and the general fer-: mentation that woold prevail all over the Empire. Such a scheme is suited to the heated iMag - ination . of enthusiasts, or the speculations of mere theo rists who are, incapable of .reflecting upon the les sons of experience, and the dispositions of man kind. The Baronet exclaimed vehemently against Bortugh Traffickers And Oligarchs, but if his system were to be carried into effect, we should see a race of more desperate Borough Traffickers, or rather seethe seats in Parliament occupied by. a herd . a Reformers; that ,would, soon remove every land . mark of the 'Constitution, and prepare the way for snne single Tyrant, like Buo:stotAßTE, ,who would trample . 'upon every principle of . public freedom,. and reduce us to, the sany, degraded Condition as the peOple of .France ande her dependent staLes. But. the. Baronet, with a sitciplieity which could hardly- be e.xpected from him, says, that if there " were, annual - Elections, the bulk. of the people would not he looking to the' making of .fortunes by their Parliamentary tactics, as at .present." So then, it is not the mere class of Borough- - trqffickers and "Oligarchs . ;*ho emleavonr to get fortunes by.. Parliamentary tactics, but " the bulk of the people." • We leave him to reconcile this grosstontradiction, and sub mit to the judgment of all reflecting linen, whe 7 Cher the - Baronet's scheme of annual Elections would not, indeed, open a way for a very great number, if not " the Whole bulk. of the peo ple," to become conversant in Parligmentary tactics, and to prove Borough Traffickers, it not more dangerous Oligarchs, in dot time, than those of whom-the Baronet now so bitterly complains.—We have much more to say on the Subject of the Baronet's late speech,, y but we shall drop it at present, and see' whether an y of the Writers, on his side of the question will endeavour to vindicate his absurdities" ml 4 re concile his inconsistencies.. assert ? - ble for large ships, which transport either to tog-; land, or the English Antilles, articles of the first necessity. The navigation of these rivers is pro tected by the maritime station , of Ilalifak, consi dered as the capital of New Scotland: This is not the only aAvantage which the English drav,-.froni the possession of Cinada : it affords them the means of eluding the Non-i»tercourse Tiaws,pass ed by the American Congress:. Front 7.Alontre4ll. to Fart St. Jean,'the distance by-land is very in consideri_Ole, therefore this town has become an -entrepot for English goods, by Lake Cham plain arc easily introduced into the. States of Ver mont and New York. _ . _ " War once commenced between the United States and. England, the latter will. quickly be deprived of all those advantaOs which feed her, pride and cupidity. TheAmericans' . have Only to size to the inhabitants on the frontiers of Canada liberty to invade that country, and it will soon. be delivered froM the English &Minion. Vermont State alone has frequently cffered at its, own expence to conquer Canada, whose 'frontiers are open on all sides, and Which has for its dcfence only a few English res'iments, and a militia more dangetousAhan'useful s , because a' national antipa thy still exists in all its force between the-French and their Rulers. " Quebec is a strong place, but the events of the war, in which the brave Montcalm.perished, prove that it cannot long resist after the reinainder of the province is conquered., if it cannot be taken by main force, it may easily be reduced • by fa mine, particularly during the winter, by cutting . off-ail the communications, by means of which: its garrison receives subsistence.. it is probable the • Americans will strike the first blow on this part of the Continent, and that considerations so sim-. ple will not escape their sagacity. " The effects of the conquest of Canada can alone be appreciated by thoSe who thoroughly understand that country, and the resources which England for some years has drawn froie it. From. that time the station at Halifax would become an useless expense, and the British Antilles, which receive the principal part of their supplies from Canada, would be exposed to famine, and of con • sequenee fall into the hands of the nation which tonldfeed them. An important' debouche is cut off from English merchandize ; the London capi— talists interested in the fur trade would be depriv ed of their incoius, perhaps of their capital, and fresh bankruptcies would shake public credit and private fortune. The English Government, ever faithful to its incendiary policy, had raised the savages against the United States, in the hope that this new war would have diverted the attention of the Ameri cans, or made,them fear a rupture with Great Bri tain. This hope has been deceived—the savages, worthy allies Of the British Minister, have been defeated by the army of the United States ; and I itnow not what prophet, raised up by the Cabinet of St. James's, who came at an unfavourable time, has been hting. Enlightened men have discover edin this system corruption a ( la Pitt, and the in . dignation against England has risen to the great est pitch MAILS.
