. 'o` , ;" kGR A 'CIif VIIIAL DISTRESSES. to cONTINuATIos OF sEsEx's LETTER. From nearly 50 years' observation„ it appears to me that the rent of lands for agricultural pur poses has in most instances risen treble the value, and in not a few cases tpladruple, effect on the expenditure of the Farmer needs no 'explana tion, n.ar th.l re-action it has occasioned on all ' agricul t oral produce. The iMprovements in agriculture, and the high prices of Corn, hare caused farming to be, during the last 25 years in particular, the best calling in the natio:... Many farmers arc become rich, and the great influx of mime) , has introduced an ex . 'lraVagatit and eXpensire mode of living .among .that class, to many of"which their great inconics have prover Their. haul! : the most vNpensive of wines and the choicest of viands are found at their chtertalitmotts,:' ttittl t ht . der,ominat ion of labour lag farmers ii •' nearly become obsolete—tliat Of ,Gentleintti farmers occupies - the place.

The un commonness of this state 'of'things causes it to be c 035 idered as a ha rd far which all the re !in urecs of the nation are to . be. attacked to produce • it instead of farms emocenpied, we take houses and dwellings empty for want of tenants, it 'may ira well to consider how the latter do proceed to obtain relief.' 'DJ they go to Parliament and pe tition, though perhaps equally dktressed with the tigrieultural landlords ? No ; he lottiers his !Tuts till he obtains tenants, his tenant thereby in Taxi enabiel to moderate hia profits 410' increase ' the sale of his'Commodities. - Cheapness increases -consumption. • What then intitles the agrietslitwil landlord, or (h:s.tentint, either,, that he he upheld in a :state.pf affluence bOrtleiing' on luxury, when all (other daises of the nation feci the pressure of the .sodden ellangeta .

Not long ago it was mentioned in T.ng Stn.:, that ii large farm had fallen out of lease at 60001. );er ann. and nosy only 4080/. would be obtained for it ;. a great defalcation, no doubt : !Inform . - stately for the argument, the paragraph went - on to state,. that this farm had .4cit originally raised front one thousand ponntlll9 six thonsentel ! !

In the debate yestenkron the Canadian Refu gees' BM, Mr. Speaker CLAN' distinctly stated his belief that the present Pence with England could not nor would not be of long continuance. My expectation' is, that these prophecies will fulfil themselves.—Oar democratic leaders, at least saute of them, already talk of the renewal of the war as probable—by and by they will speak of it as certain. In the mean time we are voting large sums for ordnance, arsenals, military stares; &c. &e. Tex these Englund can neither be blind nor deaf—she will see what is done and hear what k said, and to ill of course make preparations for her defence. •This way both nations will come to be armed for war ; and in the expectation of it, when nations are in this state, ean,e: of war, real thus prostrate the dowatai of ri;'l , l produce.
