The Prince received P r e c , lll „ ,_ ll his usual affable manner, and expressed himself . in iit t „ - " e „ 11 . that he felt extremely obliged to them for their kind P or "on and well wishes for his future welfare. " I am only a tr o j‘ n gnese subj ec t," sa id h e, " b ut re l y upon i t , m y f r i e nds and tsd' i b le rs in arms, that the brave of all nations, when persecu . i n Y tyranny and oppression, will ever meet with an alu 4 4 ,1 111 Y adopted country from her Majesty, my Royal Consort, req myself and it will be one of my utmost endeavours to . 11„,_ceer the Portuguese people happy, and strengthen the alnlid _ which now exists between the Portuguese peoplea • i s ',liberal Government of England, and all free nations.

This reply gave the irn` atest satisfaction to those brave heroes who have been driven o n mein wives and children to seek refuge in this country stag the I'rbarities of the Autocrat. It has been erroneously her ed it , of the Journals, that the Prince has not seen irb e ,7 4 ,aiesty, or hsa sister the Duchess of Braganza, since 1829, :101:.832, when Don Pecif.7 ." ne escorted the latter to the Brazils.

The partiality shown ti 41th'ouursuke of L euchtenberg, in preference to the Duke of Ne liberal' 8 9 exasperated and wounded the amour propre of the e Citizen -King, who did not forget that the Prince had 1 , 13 ,. b e en .the rival of his son for the throne of Belgium, that a "i notice was sent by the Commissaire de Police, intimat fartigitihat the presence in France of a member of the Bonaparte j at ),' was ag a i nst the law. and that if he did. not quit imme s,ti;,'y, th at b arbarous relic of the Restoration, which pro krt"t:, under s evere penalties the entrance of any of Bona i. him, descendanti into France, would be enforced against Nst.,o Potty-ei g h t h ours ' notice was given him, with his 01 1 / 4 4 l l t , to quit Paris for Germa, or ay othe r pert he hink proper, beyond th e ny french n territory ; with which order the Prince instantly complied, and returned to Munich. This petty tyranny on the part of the disappointed Louis Philip so incensed the spirited Donna Maria, that she exclaimed shortly after at a public ball, " I would not have one of the Orleans family if he possessed the riches of the world; give me the Duke of Leuchtenberg ; I want a ruler over my people." This alliance has highly displeased the French Government, who were in hopes that a marriage be tween the Duke, of Nemours and her Majesty would have en sured the influence of France over England in Portugal. The splendid equipages built by Messrs. Pearce and Co., of Long acre, for his Royal Highness, were shipped yesterday, with 20 horses, and the two full-blood saddle-horses presented by his Majesty to the Prince from the Royal stud, when at Brighton on Thursday last, and will sail this day from the river direct to Lisbon. His Royal Highness, during his short stay in this country, experienced the greatest attention from their Majesties, the Duke of Wellington, and Noblemen of both parties, and is a proof of the feeling of the present Ministry towards Por tugal, the Government of which his Grace the - Duke of Wel lington is most anxious to see settled. NORTH RIDING OF YORKSHIRE SECOND DAY'S POLL. Your, JAN. 20.—The election for this Riding has termi nated, after a desperate attempt to return two Tories, in the election of the Reformer, Mr. Cayley. The numbers at the close, on Tuesday evening, were, as nearly as could be ascertained from the various polling places, a 9 follows Duncombe Cayley Walker .. 4633 .. ...... 3825 The Shoviff will not formally declare the state of the poll until Thursday, but there is no doubt whatever as to Mr. Cayley's election. Nothing could exceed the exertions which have been used by the Tories to return both their candidates. At Kirby Moorside in particular, which is the estate of Lord Feversham, the father of Mr. Duncombe, the Tories refused to hear a respectable gentleman, and a magistrate of the Riding, who wished to address the electors on behalf of the Reform candidate. A coalition was formed between Mr. Duncombe and Mr. Walker several weeks previous to the election, for the purpose of throwing out Mr. Cayley. Votes were brought in by them from all parts of England, and some from the Isle of Man. The Re formers of this district, however, have nobly done their duty, and have shown that no re-action in favour of Tory principles has taken place here ; for while at the last election Mr. Duncombe was 1598 above Mr. Cayley, on this occa sion, it will be seen, that it was With the greatest difficulty, notwithstanding all his local influence, that he could head the poll. MIDDLESEX ELECTION. TO TILE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta,—l had but just returned from Brentford when The Sun of this evening was put into my hands ; and though in some degree acquainted with the celerity of the public press, I could not have believed, had I not seen your report, the possibility of putting in print, in so short a time, such a full and accurate report of the speeches and proceedings this day at Brentford. As one of the parties concerned, I offer yon my thanks for the extraordinary exertions made on Ws occa sion, so highly creditable to your Establishment.

In paying this tribute, so due to the excellent manner in which your Paper is conducted, proved, as it is, by the extra ordinary precision with which the several speeches made on this occasion were reported (the paper having been received in this room only three hours after the Meeting terminated), the Committee feel they would be wanting in liberality, if they did not offer this testimony of their approbation.

ELECTION AwEcppTE.—The conduct of the Lord Mayor of Dublin in challenging Mr. Rgthven, one of the can dictlf,t4s; calls to our mind a circumstance which occurred about thirty years ago at a Norwich election. The late Mr. Wind ham, who was Re of the candidates, was much annoyed by the mob, the leader of which addressed him in very insulting language, and having had a ring formed, after various antics, put himself in a boxing attitude, and challenged Mr. Windham to fight. Mr, W. was very fond of athletic sports, in which he excelled, and being highly provoked, he sprung from the hus tings, rushed into the ring, set-to with the mob champion, and soon laid him at his feet, and after punishing him severely, re tprged to his friends. n ~L THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 22, 1835. IRELAND-THE ELECTIONS. KERRY.—The Knight of Kerry has, in an address sent from London to the electors, stated, that it would be impossi ble for him, from the state of his health to be present at the contest for the county. The Limerick Chronicle says— " There is concentrated a formidable collection of troops in and about Tralee, for the protection of the peace and voters, at the election for the county of Kerry, on the 20th inst.—two troops 4th Dragoon Guards ; two troops 7th Dragoon Guards; four companies 37th Regiment; two companies 51st Light. Infantry, from the Cork district, under Captains Flamank and Hawley, 51st." WATERFORD.---GLORIOUS NEWS !—Sir -R. Musgrave has consented to be the associate of Mr. P. Power, in the re presentation of our county. Here is an arrangement that will gladden the hearts of alll Every obstacle to the unanimous election of those two estimable gentlemen must instantly give way.— Waterford Chronicle. QUEENS' COUNTY.—There is not the slightest doubt but Monday and Tuesday will secure the return of Lalor and Cassidy. —Leinster Independent. CORK CITY.—Mr. Callaghan and his colleague had, at the close of the election, from seven hundred to eight hundred votes unpolled. CLONMEL.—When Mr. Ronayrre was declared elected, it is absolutely impossible to describe the enthusiasm of the peo ple. From the balcony, at Hearn's Hotel, assembled thou sands were addressed by Messrs. Sheil, Pennefather, &c. ; bonfires were lighted through the town, and the greatest joy prevails. Just now a party of dragoons, accompanied by bludgeon-men, parade thq town. The people are quiet and orderly, and laugh to scorn the faction over whom they have triumphed.— Tipperary Fi ee Press. COUNTY WEXFORD.—LORD LOFTUS.—It is with feelings of unfeigned regret we this day announce that Lord Luftus will not come forward as a candidate for the representation of this county at the ensuing election.---Everting Mail. MONAGHAN.—The public will read with disgust the pro ceedings at Monaghan. One good has been accomplished : it has removed the mask from off the Westenras in that county. We did not, our readers will recollect, advise this last contest. We abstained from an opinion, as we feared that treachery had been too successful. But that contest has unravelled the plot, and has also exhibited another instance of the bloody propensi ties of Irish Orangemen, when secured in impunity by a Tory Ministry. This business will not end here.—Pilot. The two Houses of Parliament are nearly finished. ' The carpenters were yesterday employed laying down the re mainder of the benches, and the platform for the Throne in the House of Peers, and for the Speaker's chair in the Com mons. The walls of the latter are lined throughout with canvas, covered with varnished crimson paper, handsomely or namented. The paper of the House of Peers is a striped pattern and has also a very elegant appearance. The stoves for warming both with steam have been finished and tried, and answer all the purposes intended, as do also the ventilators. PRINCE AUGUSTUS OP PORTUGAL.—FAL MOUTH, JAN. 18.—We have just paid a visit to the Monarch steam-ship, commanded by Captain Bain, which arrived here yesterday morning from London. This splendid vessel, mea suring 206 feet long and 54 feet broad, 200 horse power, and 2,000 tons burden, is, we understand, employed to convey the Prince Augustus of Portugal and suite from this port to Lis bon, and will sail with the Royal Squadron on the 21st. The grand saloon, 33. feet long and 28 feet wide, is fitted up in th e most superb style. It is covered wtth a magnificent blue and white Persian carpet, over which are suspended two richly carved chandeliers. Splendid mirrors are appropriately ar ranged, bearing the crown of Portugal, and a fire stove of ele gant workmanship in the centre. The bedchamber of the Prince is separated from the saloon by curtains of rich brocaded blue satin, fringed with silver. The state couch, in imitation of a sea cot, is covered with velvet of the same colour, broca ded with silver, and the dressing and sitting rooms are fur nished in the same elegant style. The apartments for the accommodation of the suite display the same ornamental finishing ; and a splendid band, under the direction of the able Pead, gives an eclat to the whole highly honourable to_the V taste and liberality displayed on thi s happy event by Mr. Mendizabal, who has judged wisely in selecting the expe rienced Captain Bain to convey his Royal Highness to Portugal. The floor of Mr. Ronayne's committee-room gave way on Monday evening. Several people, Mr. Ronayne amongst the number, were precipitated to the floor underneath. Providentially no serious accident occurred ; several were slightly bruised.--Clonmel Herald. MASQUERADE AT THE ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE. —The first masquerade for the season was given last night at the English Opera-house. There was the usual quantum of romps, Highlanders, Paul Prys, huntsmen, sailors, beggars. butchers, and barristers ; but no character was well supported, and the whole thing moved heavily along, and would have died a natural death at an early hour, had not the maskers been resuscitated at intervals by potations of Cape wine. The house was tolerably well filled. THE KING'S THEATRE.—The assignees of Mr. Chambers have at length closed with M, Laporte, and on terms which, althou-2,-11 highly favourable to the latter, are not. likely to prove acceptable to the creditors of the estate. The rent will be 80001. only, with the usual privilege of having concerts, &c., to which the assignees had in the first instance objected. The theatre cannot be opened till the first week in March, so that the season will fall several nights short of the customary number. M. Laporte's company will very strong, he haring already engaged Lablache, Tamburini, Rubini, Ivanhoff, Grisi, Taglioni, Duvernay, the Elslers, Perrot, Albert (as ballet-master,) &c.—Evening Paper.—[We do not see why the rent of 80001., which M. Laporte has engaged to pay, should- not prove acceptable to the creditors of Mr. Chambers's estate. It is a very proper amount of rent. Ex perience has by this time abundantly shown that no manager can succeed in making both ends meet if he has to pay more. All the difficulties in which most of the lessees of this theatre have hitherto been involved, have arisen solely from the exor bitant rent they had been foolish enough to agree to. We doubt whether the theatre could have been opened this year, if it had not been taken by M. Laporte. The - creditors should therefore rejoice at the prospect of getting 80001., which is much better than keeping the theatre shut up, as would other wise have been the case this year. THE LATE EARL OF PORTMORE.-.—The COlO - of the North Lincoln Militia becomes vacant by the death of this Noble Peer, who was the fourth Earl of Port more, and Viscount Milsington, in the Peerage of Scotland. His Lordship's Countess was Lady Mary Elizabeth Bertie, only child of Brownlow, fifth and last Duke of Ancaster, by which lady he had an only son, the Hon. Brovvnlow Charles Colyear, who succeeded in the vast personal wealth of th e Duke of Ancestor, on his Grace's death in 1809: Mr. Colyear unhappily died at Rome in 1819, from wounds received in an encounter with banditti in Italy. Lord Portmore leaving no issue, and his brother, the Hon. Colonel Colyear, having died before him, his honours are extinct. He had two pensions on the Civil List, the first dated April, 1835, 233/., and the se cond October, 1821, 2761 The Countess of Haddington has taken her depar ture from Berkeley-square, to join the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland at Dublin Castle. The Noble Earl has not yet dimi nished his establishment at Tyningham, near Durham, North Britain. The last time his Lordship was in office was when he was Member for Rochester, as Lord Binning, at which pe riod he was one of the Commissioners for the Affairs of India. The new private Secretary to his Lordship is Captain Hamil ton, R.N., one of his cousins. MR. HILL —We are informed that a number of ladies, zealous friends of. Mr. Hill, have commenced a sub scription to purchase a piece of plae, to be presented to him as a token of their great respect for his talents and integrity. The subscription has made a very gratifying progress.—Hull Ad vertiser. MRS. HENIANs.---We regret to learn that this ex cellent lady and admirable poet is alarmingly ill in Dublin. She has resided in that City several years, chiefly to obtain for her sons the advantages of a College education at a rate more within her limited means than could be procured either at Ox ford or Cambridge.— The Watchman. A report is current of an attempt to assassinate Ma dame Malibran in Italy, but whether by a professional rival, or from a despairing amant is not stated. It is said that in returning from the performance of Otello she was wounded by a stilettoin the throat, in a manner to prevent her ever, again exercising he; talents, if even her life be saved.—Galignani. Some persons had the temerity to venture on the ice yesterday in St. James's Park, though warned of the dan ger by persons employed for the purpose. The ice gave way where two lads were amusing themselves, who with difficulty were saved from being drowned. The new Turkish Minister, Namick Pacha, will not take his departure for Constantinople until the arrival of his successor, Laliekin Pacha, who is not expected to arrive in this country until the first week of February, as he will make a short sojourn at Paris and Vienna. COOKERY.—Dr. W. Philip, in his " Treatise on Indigestion," gives the following opinion on the Art of Cook ery ; the pithy description is sufficient to excite the indignation of M. Ude and o'her culinary artistes :—" Beyond a proper degree of roasting and boiling," says the Doctor, " the art of cookery is nothing but that of pleasing the palate at the ex pense of the stomach." Napoleon had a French cook, who undertook to dress a fowl for his Imperial Majesty's dinner in a different manner every day, for a whole year. He fulfilled his promise, and succeeded in gratifyingthe Emperor's palate in 365 Off' ferent ways, every one of which was unexceptionable. A curious gold. medal was discovered a short time ago, by a labourer, who was excavating a part of the road, on the Ashford line, near Tunford Bridge. It is one of the Ro man Emperors, and the obverse is a Roman head in relief,. with an inscription, which is said to denote its being comme morative of Severus. The head is encircled with small gar nets, inlaid. It appears to have been worn as an ornament, as a rudely chased suspender is attached to the top of it. This piece of antiquity is now in the possession of Mr. Eastes, of Canterbui y.—Kentish Paper.

They both hold high rank in the Turkish army, and travelled through Germany and part of France, on their way to'England. FRENCH_ PAPERS. PARIS, JAN. 19.—The French journal of Frankfort o the 16th contains ihe following article : It is .pretended. that M. fubecki, Envoy of the-Et-0,7 ror Nicholas, at this moment actively K osedutinethe' claim of the Czar, as Sovereign of Poiaild, to the amount, it is said, of 200 millions.. It is said that the principle of the claim is conceded, and that the only point in debate is the amount, the greatness of which causes some demur. It is with confidence that we.make the following obser vations, with the intention of guiding the public opinion : The journals have said and repeated, without having been hitherto-contradicted, that M. Lubecki had been sent to Paris, in. consequence of a claim of the Emperor of Russia, who acted in this affair as a pressing creditor. We believe that we can affirm that his Imperial Majesty, at the the moment of our writing, h ignorant, as well as every body else, whether the Russian Government is the creditor or debtor .of France. Far from arguing the arrangement of this affair, the result of which depends on the examination of a multitude of documents, we are assured that the Emperor Nicholas did not think of entering upon it, when the French Go vernment thinking it had some claims to make itself, re quired that some person should be sent by Russia to Paris. It was then, and upon this application of the French Mi nistry, that Prince Luhecki was intrusted with this mission. The interests of many private persons, military and others, are inplicated in this affair. Among them we ob serve the name of M. Lafitte. A liquidation is the more necessary, as these affairs date from the year 1812 ; the Government of Poland found that it had claims on its part to oppose to the demands of France. Such is the state of the affair. We see how the question has been misrepresented. An affair to be examined at the desire of the French Government transformed into an urgent demand of the Russian Government, which has thus become an importu nate creditor without knowing it. Prince Lubecki, sent to Paris at the solicitation of the French Ministry, has been represented as an,agent sponta neously sent by Russia, which before it knew whether it was a creditor or a debtor, is stated to have demanded two hundred millions. Is this probable ? In short, if France, which alone asked and demanded this settlement, should prove to be a creditor, it will be paid . ; if it is a debtor it will doubtless pay the debt ; but this cannot be known till after the verification of a vast number of documents, which Prince Lubecki is now com missioned to examine conjointly with the French Ministers, and at their express and re-iterated demand. Such is the mission of Prince Lubecki, which the Paris Journals have affected to represent in an odious light. They might, and ought perhaps to have corrected public opinion, which was deceived on . this point. They have not thought fit to do so. The Journal de Frankfort, which has been enabled by chance to be thoroughly informed respecting this question, does what others should have done, in not suffering the truth to be any longer strangely disfigured. We shall now look for the answer of the Ministry.— difessager, Jan. 20. FRENCH FUNDS —PAkts, JAN. 20. Five p,r Cents., 107 f. 10c. 25:. Four per Cents., 93f. 5 0 c. "Three per.

GERMAN PAPERS. BERLIN, JAN. s.—lt is understood that Baron Von Bu low will return to his post as Ambassador at London. His lady, a daughter of Baron William Von Humboldt, is ho.: noured with the friendship of her Majesty the Queen, and is said to be not without influence in political affairs. It has frequently occurred that much delay and embar rassment, in the execution of the laws, has been caused by the practice of delivering up to the military authorities sol diers guilty of any offence, while absent from the regiments on unlimited furloughs,--this inconvenience is now removed by a Cabinet Order of his Majesty, which decides that, henceforward, all privates and subalterns absent from their corps on unlimited furloughs, shall be subject to the civil tribunals, and, if guilty of any offence, be punished by them. —Frankfort Papers, Jan. 15. VIENNA, JAN. B.—The mail from Constantinople, with letters of the 25th December, has arrived. The measures adopted by the Porte dearly shewed that it believed in the continuance of peace, and the late assurances of Mehemet Ali. The Ottoman army was to be greatly reduced, and placed on the peace establishment. The sending of troops to Asia, which had been so long continued without inter ruption, had ceased. The Sultan seemed to be entirely taken up with the in ternal affairs. of the empire, and disposed to introduce a better administration of justice, and an improved system of taxation. The latter is very necessary, and would be highly advantageous as well to the tax payer as to the treasury. The greatest resources of the Ottoman empire have not been at all turned to account in the financial sys tem hitherto pursued, and the country has been in the greatest misery, notwithstanding all its riches. Endeavours are now to be made to in:prove agriculture, and the work ing of the mines, and in general to promote every means of deriving advantage from the soil. The principle of the freedom of trade is to be adopted as the basis, and the Sultan has given another proof of his desire to encourage it by granting entire freedom of trade to the island of Samos, hoping thereby to give an indemnity to the Samiots for their losses through the . melancholy events of late years. These concessions do not give any favourable prospects for the commerce of Greece, for Samos and Rhodes have al ways had the most extensive trade of all the islands of the Archipelago, and now that they are in a degree emanci pated, threaten to be dangerous rivals to the Greek flag, RoME, JAN. .s.—The holidays have been kept thig year with the usual solemnities, and the head of the Church per forrned in person all the sacred functions. A deputation 4 the inhabitants of Rome testified their joy,at this, and their wishes for the continuance of his health. Business was of course not thought of during this season, and foreign affairs seemed to be quite in the back ground. They are again the subject of more eager attention. The state of affairs in Spain and Portugal gives all thinking men subject enough for reflection, on the relations between the Peninsula and the Church ; the hierarchy being threatened with a very serious loss. Ido not mean pecuniary loss, for the sums that come to Rome are by no means so large as usually be lieved ; they depend entirely upon dispensations and con firmations, which are not every year the same, but the loss is that the influence which has hitherto emanated from Rome, and which is necessary to the unity of the church, becomes weaker and weaker, from which the worst conse quences are to be apprehended in course of time. On the other hand, the accounts which are received from the New World are more cheering. In the United States of North America the Catholic religion is making great progress, and the Roman Propaganda is amply rewarded for its exer tions. Several new Episcopal Sees are to to be established there. Our internal affairs are gradually getting into better order, and it is hoped that divers abuses, which still prevail in many branches of the Administration will be abolished, to`which end the Government shows the greatest desire to contribute. The Roman public has for some time past been much interested by the plan of an iron rail-road, to be made from Ancona to Civita Vecchia, and to pass very n ear t o R ome . Several foreign capitalists have submitted a plan for such an enterprise to the Government, in which the conditions are said to be highly advantageous to the country. Con siderable sums are offered to the Government by way of security. It is affirmed, that valleys have been found by which the greatest ascent would be inconsiderable, and this would doubtless cause the expense to be much less. The affair has already been discussed by the Government, but no resolution has been taken, as many doubts and objec tions were stated. It cannot be denied that such a com munication, between our two chief sea-ports, would be ‘.s.. e . the greatest importance to trade, as the voyage round the south part of Italy, and through the narrow but strong Adriatic, is attended with great loss of time, and many dangers.

Great care will be taken to form the crew of men who have already been in northern seas. The expedition is to be partly scientific. Dr. Gaimard, who has already gone twice round the world, in the Coquille and in the Astrolabe, will be on board.

On the night of Friday week a dreadful murder was committel in a place called Sutton's-row, in East Retford, on the body of a man named Francis Taylor, better known in that town and neighbourhood by the name of " Old Frank Nuts." A respectable jury was summoned by the bailiff, which met at 6 o'clock on Saturday evening, and sat until near midnight, and on account of the interference of the election and the county sessions, was adjourned. A man and woman are in custody on suspicion of having committed the dreadful deed. The Jury have since returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against both. • ....

A few of Mr. Elliot's neighbours, hearing the attack on his house, repaired to it with fire-arms, to protect Elliot and his family. The rioters, after having previously retired, returned and again attacked the house, when some shots wore fired out, by which a man named Henney was killed, and others severely wounded. The quarrel, it is said, was of a party nature.---Dub/in Paper. A melancholy and unnatural homicide, the effect of ungovernable passion, took place in the vicinity of Newtown butler, on Friday.

Another son, who had been her witness on the occasion, went to execute the decree for her.

MWMM SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The public are favoured, by some of the- , Radical commentators on passing events, with a new construc tion of the causes to which have been owing the re turns of so many Conservatives for counties. West , Kent and East, Surrey having chosen Members disc posed to support the Ministry, the obvious conclusion one would think might be, that under.so large a mea :4lre of reform as that which now determines the choice of Members of Parliament, few or none can be the objects of such choice, who have not with them the force of public opinion. That, however, appears to be all a mistake. Instead of Conservative Members being indebted to public opinion for their seats, we have seen it written in some of yesterday's liapers„ that they could not have been chosen at all, had not the public been excluded from the constituency by the Reform Bill being of too narrow and limited e na ture. If, say the Radicals, Reform had been carried. far enough, we should not have seen a Conservative member in the House of Commons. That, indeed, is a self-evident truth. If, from the establishment of universal suffrage, the cons tit uency h a d embraced the very lowest of the people, why it is plain that this class, being ten times more numerous than any other, would, after periods of public excitement, return as many representatives as they pleased, and no small proportion of them from the most tur bulent and audacious of their own body. The con sequence of such an improvement upon the Reform Bill would be, that the property and intelligence of the country must remain altogether, or very nearly, unrepresented in the House of Commons, and instead of them we should see destitution and ignorance armed with irresistible power. The fate of the • Monarchy would soon be decided in an assembly thus delegated by the physical force of the nation, but repudiated by its mind and moral principles. The phenomenon would present itself of a constituent and representative body, neither of which had a solid stake in the soil of England nor in her commercial capital, but a fancied one in the plunder of both. The first blow of such a Jack Cade democracy would be struck at the very exis tence of the House of Lords,—the next at its pro perty, as part and parcel of the great Aristocratic mo nopoly of wealth,—the third at the Crowd ; and the first re-action against this convulsive anarchy would be in the shape of arbitrary power. The exclamation, therefore, that we must have an extension of the elec tive franchise, in order to obtain a larger infusion of . this class of Representatives into the House of Com mons, means simply that a perfect Reform is one which would, in practice, confine the choice of Representa tives to a single class of the community, and that the least capable of making a judicious choice in times of excitement. All Englishmen, who tre not devoured by the spirit of faction in the pursuit of a selfish and temporary object, will deprecate such a Reform. However, we must in one respect presume a good . understanding to *exist between the Whig-R a diC a l an d Conservative. parties, or assume that one or other is in a InP.7vellous error as to a most important fact. "or ANothing is so remarkable as the loud and exulting gratification which the Whig-Radical papers express from day to day upon the general state of the election returns, and the gross amount of the majority already ascertained, which indeed grows wonderfully with each succeeding post. Some of these optimists have gone - so far as to make out " by figures' which everybody knows cannot possibly go wrong, that the Reformers or anti-Conservatives, or what you please to' call them, exceeded 370 Members, while the friends of Mini sters were only 212. The reason, therefore, why we affirm that there must be a fatal blunder somewhere. or a secret convention, is that Sir Robert Peel an nounces his entire satisfaction at the result of these very same elections ; and, in a speech to his con stituents at Tamworth, on Friday last, the Right Honourable Baronet declares " his firm convic tion that lie shall be able to conduct the Govern ment of the country, tvith the new House of Com mons, on Conservative principles, and in the spirit of those constitutional reforms on which all reasonable and reflecting men are agreed." 'We insert the ex tract from the Premier's speech, for which we are in debted to last night's Albion, leaving it to the " braw lers" to settle with Sir Robert the knotty point of their " triumphant" lists, and to digest as they may the sly allusion made by him to " three tailors" in Tooley street, who, once upon a_ time, issued an address to his Majesty, beginning " We, the people of Eng land," &c. In the meantime, since we began this ar ticle, we have accidentally seen a striking work by Fisher Ames, an able and eloquent citizen of 'the United States, who, in the following, passage, con firms curiously enough, and, as it appears to us, in controvertibly, some of the remarks which we have of fered on the destructive tendency of an ultra-democra tic constitution. The writer speaks of his own coun trymen, the people of the " favoured region," and to them, but the principles on which he reasons are of universal application : " Many persons seem to despair of the commonwealth. The address to the popular passions, they argue, is gene rally successful ; and always very encouragingly rejected, even when it is not. While the friends of order rely on the sense of the people, the Jacobins appeal to their nonsense with infinite advantage : they affect to be entirely on `the people's ; and their mistake, if by great good luck it is suniosed they err, is ascribed to a good motive, in a man ner and spirit that invites fresh attempts to deceive. Thus the deceivers of the people tire out their adversaries ; they try again and again ; and an attempt that is never aban doned, at last will not fail. What, then, it is asked, can be done ? We have an enlightened people, who are not poor, and therefore are interested to keep Jacobinism down, which ever seeks plunder as the end, and confusion as the means. Yet the best informed of this mighty people 'are lazy or ambitious, or go over to the cause of confusion ; or are artfully rendered unpopular, because they will not go over to it. The sense and virtue, and property of the na tion therefore, will not govern it ; but every day shows that its vice and poverty, and ambition will. "We have been mistaken. In our affairs, we have only thought of what was to be hindered, and provided.suffi ciently for nothing that was to be done. We have, thought that virtue, with so many bright rewards, had some solid power ; and that, with ten thousand charms, she could al ways command a hundred thousand votes. Alas ! these. illusions are as thin as the gloss on other bubbles. Politi cians have supposed, that man really is what he should be; that his reason will do all it can, and his passions and pre judice no mare than they ought ; whereas his reason is a mere looker-on ; it is moderation when it should be zeal ; is often corrupted to vindicate where it should condemn ; and is a coward or a trimmer, that will take husk-money. Popular reason does not always know how to act right, nor does it always act right when it knows. The agents' that move politics are the popular passions : and those are ever, from the very nature of things, under the command of the disturbers of society. Those who would defend order, and property, and right, the real friends of law and liberty, have a great deal to say to silence passion, but nothing to ,offer that will satisfy- it ; nothing that will conAince 'a sans culotte that Ms ignorance, or vice and laziness; ordain that he should be poor ; while a demagogue . tells.him, it is • the funding system that makes him poor,And revolut,',On shall make him rich. Few can reason, all' can feel ; and such an argument is gained as soon as it is, pro posed. While, then, the popular passions are sure to go vern, and the reason of the society is sure to be awed into silence, or to be disregarded, if it is heard, what hope is there that our course will not be as headlong, as rapid, and as fatal, as that of all Governments by mere popular im pulse has ever been? The turnpike - road of history is white with their tombstones. " If our Government must fall, as it may very deplo rably, and soon, and as it certainly must with.a violent Ja cobin Administration, lot the monstrous wickedness. of working its downfall really be, and appear, if possible, to the whole people, to be chargeable to the Jacobins. Let the lovers of the Constitution cling to it, while it has life in it, and even longer than there is hope. Let them be auxiliary to its virtues ; let them contend for its corpse, as for the body of Patroclus ; and let them reverence its me mory. Let them delay, if they cannot prevent, its fate. Despair not only hastens the evil, but renders any remedy unavailing. Time, that sooths all other sufferings, will bring no relief to us, if we neglect or-throw away the means in our hands. What are they ? Truth and argument. They are feeble means, feeble indeed against prejudice and pas sion ; yet they are all we have, and we must try them They will be jury-masts, if we are shipwrecked." —Frogs a republication of a work entitled Influences of Democracy with apreface by Henry Ewbank, Esq.—(Times.)
