Ile wee happy to find that this proposition, which must be offensive to the county a t , large, originated with one who did not belong te the ceenty. It was like that man who watt to a neighbour to borrow leotiey, , end when the latter objected that did not know, him, he replied, - ' It is for that very reason I come, to you, for all those who do know me have refused to lend me a shilling."--(Applettsee It was a little too bad, when his native county of 14rtford, lie could find no one to support him, that he s hb u ld eome there, and expect they would adoptlis schemes. He (Mr. Gunning) was born amongst theist, had lived, and hoped teethe amongst thput ; and he hoped also, that hie county and theirs would be spared the disgrace of having . adopted such resolutioos..(Tare clamour here because so great, that the Under Sheriff was come pelted to interfere.")--It was well known that he had never in .

WANTED to PURCHASE in a Public Simation, near the Inns of Court, a LARGE and COMMODIOUS HOUSE, or a PIECE of GROUND, for Erecting Offices, for the use of the above Society ; a Freehold Estate will be preferred. Particulars, with the Lowest Terms affixed; 'are requested to be sent to Mr. Brundrett, Solicitor, Inge; Temple, or Mr. Anderton, Solicitor, Quality-court, Chancery-lane, Secretary (pro temp.), to the Committee. pendent State, and to admit, in the fullest manner, the right of each State to judge for it self of those reforms or modifications which time might render necessary." There can be no doubt that it was the very unexceptionable qua-1 lity of the Royal Speech which induced , Mr. Brougham to 'admit that " he thought the views which bad been taken . by. Government on this question (the threatened aggression of France upon Spain) were sound and liberal. lie iva:i not sure that they (the Ministers) could have . gone 'farther than they had, until they bad made the' necessary communication to Parliament." In like manner, there was . , something more than or dinarily refreshing in seeing the worthy Baronet 'Sir FlANeis BiIRUETT, speaking so cordially of an United Parliament and an United People." Ohl that . it _were ever thus with 'Legislators ; then might it.be averred, that men-of cultivated.; minds had indeed drawn benefit from 'the Roman maxim, 4 ` Nullunt uupirium, tututn, nisi benevolentia munitum." he declaration made by Lord Livenruoi. in the Upper House is too important to be over looked. " 1 f," said his Lordship, "AVa r be an. cessary, England is in a state to make it, without doing any, thing incompatible with the mainten ance of public credit!" Such'an admission from the Premier, coupled with the promised reduc tion of taxation in his 111.A . JEsTy'S Speech, must inspire the nation with the strongest hope and confidence. It were needless to reiterate that universal joy and satisfaction must be the legiti mate consequences of such an auspicious'state - of things - . From what is known of the Spirit` of Parliament, and the spirit of the people, it may be fairly assumed, that in case Spain is attacked, which, I must confess, seems almost a certainty at this Moment, Great Britain will stretch forth her arm to aid her in her resistance.' And what noble-minded Briton but would wish, with heart and soul, to strengthen and support his Majesty's 11;inisters hi the just and virtuous policy which in their. wisdom they have adopted. There is something, too, so consonant to our best feelin g s, in the line of conduct that seems to be chalked out for us, that we may safely anticipate all that is magnificent and dignified on the part of this great nation, in A struggle that aims at main taining the very rights and welfare of human society. Does anyone pretend to justify 'France and her AllieS in the iniquitous' outrage 'contem plated upon Spain ?

Chaque Nation doit ac gouverner scion k beroin de set A d mires 41a Conservation du bier{ Pub ape." " Never has the character of our . Country risen higher than it stands at present since the wise, manly, and independent line of policy silently pursued by our Government for the last few months has been distinctly avowed by *Ministers, and pro. claimed from the Throne." I cannot resist the opportunity, Mr. Editor, of offering my sincere congratulations upon the heart cheering example of that entire union of senti ment so recently displayed in Parliament. That we have frequently sharp bickerings amongst ourselves—owing to the freedom of the British Constitution—is matter of notoriety : call it par ty-spirit, or what you please,—it is immaterial.— But let the discussion of a great political ques tion, involving the rights and privileges of one of the co-estates of the great European family come before the Senate, and men of all parties, for getting their differences, boldly step forward, and thunder in defence of the outraged rights'of mankind. Labor ipse' voluplas. Yes, I repeat it, Mr. Editor, the debates in Parliament last Tuesday evening constituted one of the most im portant and gratifying scenes that have occurred for a long time. From what I perceive at a dis tance from the Metropolis, I am quite sure of this —the minds of the people are considerably grati fied ; and confidence in Government is daily in creasing, because it is obvious that the measures of Ministers are bottomed on good old British prin ciples, within the comprehension of all classes of the corritnunity.' It is quite natural that a nation, whose every Institution is idea tified with liberty and independence, should view the threatened aggression of Franc e with horror and dismay. II is not possible that England could have given vent to its feeling in any other way than it has 410ne. At`the same time the policy of Ministers is not less noble, because it chimes'in so com pletely with the popular voice. The spirited aiid independent tone of the Counsellors of the King justly entitles them to the national thanks, the highest possible reward they can be honOUred with in a free country. • now - truly like a British Statesman are the to,tmorable wordsof Mr. PEEL, " The p r i nc i p l es that actuated this Country," he observed, went to acknowledge the Sovereignty of every We-. Is it alleged that Spain . has brought evil upon I France ?, No; all that constitutes the gravamen, is —the reform brought about in civil and 'eccle sinstieal affairs in Spain is offensive to Louts the 18th and his old emigrants ; and they are deter mined to make a crusade to crush the nascent itnproretnents in that fine country. The whole , affair amounts to this: it is a mere Popish War. It assutnes this character from alt the indices we can gather. The King. of Fitaier, when 'he, .proies about the Spanish Monarch ' s dispensing' 'the befitting Institutions to his people,• means, in fact, nothing else but to invest FERDINAND thelth with absolute sways--a sway to be'bot, towed in the must odious and resulting supersti tion. But it will not do. All the mad acts of France will not be able to.replunge mankind in the gross Popery and imbecility of the dark ages. Had there been any thing approximatipg to wisdom in the restored governments, instead of coalescing to put down vier arwis, every at tempt at political improvement, on the part.of any Nation, they would have shewn au eager ness to repair the errors for which some of their predecessors had smarted so severely. But" old, dogs,"they say, " learn no tricks;" by the same rule, it would seem, old emigrants are incapable of improvement even in the school of bitter ad versity. Were it not trespassing too much I could wish' to be permitted to add a few words more. And I the - rather claim the indolgence, - Mr. Editor,' because, what I am about to' offer, involes - an honest and well-meant testimony to the worth and cheratter of your excellent and patriotic journal. if there be anair of compliment in this, I can safely aver,. it is legitimately acquired on your part. While almost the entire bulk of,the London Press, (some of, them with considerable pretensions) have trumpeted forth nothing but fables and incongruities, in regard to the sup posed sentiments of the British Cabinet, on the momentous question of our foreign relations, your spirited and intelligent Paper has, without a boast of any sort, steadily thrown out light and information of the most valuable kind. It has been demonstrated, by what took place in Par- liament last week, that 'l'iii SUN (no matter Whence arising) had with, great . ' accuracy' pin. pounded for It length of time, the seutimenteef the British Statesmen in office, in regard to French cabal. You are aware, of course, that you already enjoy considerable fame at Pari,s. The Journal des Daals insists upon it you are the organ of the Foreign Secretary : Often as you have been quoted previously, your argumentative Tensoning, on French poli ties, borne out as - ,it haa been by the avowals o$ his Majesty's Ministers, will justly gain for m suN„ both at home and abroad, that considera tion which is pre;entittently due to cool Investi gation, intelligence, and foresight. Had' time French Government been wise enough to make a proper use of your strictures, they would. in all probability, have owed you an eternal Banks of the Tyne, Feb: 1112.1 cms: " r will'not detain you now by a single argiitnent in favour, of a reform of the representation of the people in Parliament.— There will, lam sure, be many on the Market-hill, on Fri: day; far abler than myself, to advo;ate and enforce this great measure. You know thy unalterable sentirnents upon it. r seek no_ to destroy with a rash innovating hand, but to restore the constitution to its original purity, by making the-House of Commons thereat representatives of the people in Parliament, acting as an efficient control over the power of the Crown, and not, as it has emphatically been callCd, ' a convenient infant; ment in the hands of the Government, to register the edicts of the Crown.' " I trust the teal frl4nds of Reform in the country 'of Cam bridge will be united in their object. We have much to con. tendagainit—the overgrown influence of the Crown operating through endless channels, has spread corruption over every part of the country, paralyzing the efforts of honesty and intlepend, ent men ; but we must not be deterred `by difficulties ; the county of Cambridge has done itself infinite honour by its Un shaken perseverance ; we must steadily pursue the great object we are seeking, in one straight undeviating Course ; ant." as our cause is that of sound policy, truth, and justice, it must and WM ultimately prevail. 1 am,' Sir, with sincere esteem, your faithful and obedient servant, " BkIDFOR1):" Sentiments so noble, so patriotic. • And so manly, refieetett honour on this excellent nobleman ; and "lie could 'not com mence better than by,reading tins excellent. letter.

And what was the cause of this overv;lielniing misery, front v:hich no one could escape, SIM those who were base enough to fatten on the vitals, of . their country?

That the Freeholders and Inhabitants of the County of Cambridge and Isle of Fly, anxious to fulfil the purposes for which they have been convened, In a manner worthy of the character of a free, liberal, and enlightened people, possessing and acknowledging one common interest, declare to' their fellow-countrymn, that although, in common with other Agricultural Counties, they are labouring under peen liar and extraordinary hardshipe, they desire no advantages in consi:statit uith the Leneral welfare, and in particular they dia.' claim 'the vain end 'delusive projects which are still in agitatiare for relieving the lan d eil interest at the ex penee of the Indust/lone part of the etionnunity ; and they are ready to co-operate with their fellow-countrYttien at large in rescuing the nation from the solid tyranny of the borough faction, and restoring to the people the exercise of their .undoubted right of being fully re- presented in Parliament. " , 2. That excessive taxation in the great and paramount grievance of this kingdom, and the immediate cause of the present unparalleled distress ; and that the taxes which pre. lionsly to the late change of the currency consumed so vast a proporlion attic annual income of the "nation, have been so enormously increased in their real amount, by the operation of that incomplete and ill-digested measure, that they are now rapidly devouring the capital and fee-simple of the estates of every one who does not in some degree live upon the public re venue ; and that the Parliament, by restoring cloth payments, withont melting suitable provisions, has established a legalized system of confisciiinn of property throughout the kingdom. " 3. That the landed interest, besides the general.
