FOR 111 , 1 SUN. THE BLESSINGS OF THE CONSTITUTION. (Continued from. out Paper of the 25th.) 13esi;les that protection and succour which the Low enjoins upon !he rich as their duty toward the poor, and the unbidden charities which flow final every purse, gladdening the sorrowful, cheering the desolate, and raising up the fallen ; besides these strong ties of _attachment between wealth and povetty, our Constitution enables every man to acquire riches, and secures him in their lice possession. The Friendly Sodeties and Savings' Banks, witere:lt the poor man's smallest carvings may be -dtposited under the protection of the Legislature, offer to bum a refuge in ca lamity, and an accumulation for the season of age, o f weakness, or of uecet.siiy. bP Britain, evely rti:iti may use Ids money Rs pleeiscs. N exclusion of !lice or IMIk forbid , its a!r!►lic:ation aecottlitig to the. views of 1 , 15 own judgment. N,ithec does any invidious distinc tion shut I)im out from even tbe highest offices. Let him possess but discretion, land wealth is in every man's power.—All, indeed, cannot be eqn.tlly rich ; and God's providence is well shewn i 3 the ; since, as lilave before observ ed, equal !idles would be ty But every one may be rich ; rind lie vvl.n Will no', has only himself to lilmne ; lie must not murmur against Providence nr the Lim. Fri , in the li.kves! oecii- parkin, he may gradually advance himself to the highest ; the ploughman may become a faiiner ; the ‘s caver may become a manufacturtr. These, my Countrymen. are no visionary row pee's. The most elevated ranks of our Sate are occupied by men, whose ancestors or whose stives were for merly in those low occupations ; from whence they rose by honest diligence, and from whence they could not have risen by any other means. There are at this moment persons in high office, possessing estates and dignities, who would have been nothing better than hedgers or journeymen, if !hey or their fathers Lad been idle, or dissolute, ur dishonest. 'Thus we see, that our Constitution secures the effect liberty of acquiring property, and of using its acgoisitiou. So perfect indeed is this liberty, that not any one Nation on the face of the earth eujoys it hi even half the ex!ent which our happy Comm y knows. And it is from the superior wealth of others, that each man &rives the me,ms of increasing his Whence indeed,•cOohl he otherwise fierier it ?—The opulent proptietor &Is hew wants with opulence, Perhaps he only fancies thrin. tie enlarges his houic ; he changes his furniture ; Well—let not his 'cum- Own. Ile increases his retinue. ries, or even his follies, be looked on angrily. They spread out the fertilizing extent of his tacltes over the soil of other men. They promote the industry of the poor, and stimulate their inge nuity. They advance the manufactures of the Country ; they give employment, and consequent ly stipport, to the lower classes. Had all pro verty been equal, not one among our poor hut would have been poorer than they are ; were it all eqoalized, not one of •them but would be still poorer. Employment is necessary to give sup port ; capital is necessary to give employment. But in a state rat equality there could be no capi tal. How much better then is it for the poor, that a few should be capable of obtaining great tidies ?—And, as all may obtain them, not any iojus ice is done by their possessors. Experience is the teacher of fools. I should like to see our Radicals set up with exactly the indi• vidual shares which would fall to them, supposing an equal division bad taken place of all pi operty. But, they must also be put in the same situation as such a division would place every body ; they must derive no btneht front the capital of others ; net employment, no support, beyond what their four pounds a-piece ears give them ; and their only privilege must he, to live upon that as freely as they like, and as long as it lasts. They must be hedged round in their own Radicalism, and shut out from trespassing on their irradical neighbours. It were worth t!!e calculation, how long a time would pass, ere dowinight starvation di Ives them out of their equality into an unequal livelihood anti industrious subordination. People.complain of the want of employment. The complaint may partly be just ;--brit its remedy should be sought in the removal of its cause. To remove that by which it was not occasioned, will be useless, if not dangerous. The want of mo ney, we are told, has created this evil ; the fur ther diminution of money, therefore; by its divi sion, will only increase it. And, by parity of reasoning, the accumulation of money in indivi dual hands will reduce it. If then, such account- . I.ation is necessary to create a fund for employ ment, security is not less necessary for its cooti lination. Our Radicals will do well to consider this, before they throw the thousands who ore emiloyed out of employment, by the destructi , :n of Capital, awl the terror which prevents every Capitalist from its use. They should retnetnber also, how much easier it is to destroy than to create. Pull down a house—it asks some time, and labour, and cost, to rebuild it ;—root up a tree—still more it asks to replace it. But Consti tutions are more like trees than houses ; they are of progressive growth, not of instant erection. How weak then as well as wicked is ir;tO destroy in a moment what years cannot restore !—Should the experiment fail—as the chances are one t 0 ft that it wonld—where were the remedy ? Should it even succeed, where were the ad• vantage ( [To be eontitio,d.) LONDON JOURNALS. FROM FEW. MORNING 1 3 :\1'IltS OF Tuns DAY. [Morning Chrmticie %Ve teceivt d un Wcthicsoay evening, at a late itOM titter letters, said to be writ• ten by het Royal llighttess the Princess of WAL.F.s, the last two of which are dated !tom Marseilles, the 26th December and 6th January instant. They came to us anonymously, and we have not 'been able to verify them. We cannot, therefor 4, give ihem insertion ; but we have no doubt, bat they were sent to another office as well as to this, in consequence of the rtmooir ;hat a Rill is prepat et! to be btonght into Parham , tit, to enact that, in case of the Demise of the King, a Warant shad not issue, tinder the Sign - AI aactal, for her Corona tion as Queen. 'rite pat ticulars of this interest ing process will soon transpire. It was said to he the lute, turn or the Princess of Wales to god Marseilles on the 20th of this month on her return to Italy—but that, if needful, she would come to England by sea, instead of travelling through France, as her Royal Highness had reason to be lieve that she would not be well received at Paris. If the hirers should be authenticated, we can have no objection to their publication. On the subject of the intended proceeding it is said that t h ere i s a variance of opinion in the Cabinet, and it is believed that some changes will take place before the matter shall be taken up in the two Houses. [Morning Herald] STATE OF IBS MAJESTY'S BODILY HEALTH. It was very generally reported yesterday that the dangerous state of his INIAJEsTY's health was rapidly increasing ; htit i is probable these reports were much exaggerated. It is a face that the Duke of York has not been at Windsor since Tues day last ; and it is also a fact that arrangements have been making at Cal lion [louse for the last two days, preparatory to the Prince (Regent's going to Brighton ; both which circumstances make against these rumours. 'Dive is also another circumstance which induces us to think that no im mediate danger is apprehended—the Cabinet Mi nisters are most of them in the country—all of them, we believe, with the exception of Earl Ba thurst, awl thoagh town yesterday frith) Lord Castlereagh, yet no time was fixed by his Lorikhip for his return.— We should state, however, that the follo win g ap peared in an Evening Paper of yesterday " Fire o'clock —This afternoon, the death of our venerable Sovereign has been again reported. We ate able to contradict the rumour most posi tively; at the same time it is our duty to acknow ledge, that the King has become much weaker, within these few days, and does.not leave his bed for more than two hours at a time. II a his information from authority not to be doubted, we stop the press to menrion.it, painful as it ib." [Morning Post.l We have been assured by a personal friend of the Duke of Sussax, that strange as it may ap pear, his Royal Highness was utterly un:►cgnaint ed, on Monday night, with the n ature of the bulletins which lied been published in this paper Friday and Saturday. This is the more strange, as Norwich is only one day's post distant from town. It was yesterday reported that the Government of Gibraltar, vacant by the death of the Duke of KENT, is to be given to the Earl of COATITAM, who is to perform the duty in person.—The Mar quis of IIuNTLY is spoken of as the probable suc cessor of the Duke of KENT, as Colonel of the Ist Regiment of Foot ; in which case the Colonelcy of the 41 , 1, at present held by the Noble Mar quis, w►ll become vacant.--(lbid.) TILE MARKETS. s.itil:ioil. CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 2.9. —Notwithstanding the brisk demand for tine Wheat on Wednesday, a tolerably large quantity remained over for this morning's market, the sale of which was not so free as on Wednesday ; yet, what was disposed of was at that day's prices. Fine Barley also fully supports the advance that took place on Wednes day, but the inferior qualities continue very lieavy sale, although not cheaper. In Beans, Peas, and Oats, there is no alteration.

In the Cham ber of Deputies on Saturday, the Minister of Finance presented the Annual Projet of Supply, fixing the amount of the Public Expenditure for 1820, at 511,371,b50 francs, which, Wit It 228,341,200 fr. for We interes , , expences, &c. of tl►e Public Debt and Sinking Fund forms a total of 739,712,750 francs, (somewhat above 30,800,0001.) to be provided for. The P►ojet was ordered to be printed and distributed. On Monday there was no public Sitting, and nothing was done in the Chamber but the appointment of a Special Committee to examine the Projet re specting the Customs. The following ate ex tracts : " PARIS, JAN. 25.—The King on Sunday re ceived the Alinisters, Alarshals, &c., and yester day a number of Peers and Generals. The Coma Decazes transacted business with his Majesty. " Dreadful ,inundations have taken place in the Netherlanda in consequence of the thaw. A vast'. extent of Country, reaching front Brussels to' Ander &c, seemed transformed into an im mense Like, in which here floating drowned aoi mals and wrecks of furniture. Several individuals have perished. " The King of Wortemberg opened the Diet of that Kingdom on the 12(1) instant. " The Eleetress of Hesse died at Cassel, in the night of the 13► h instant, aged 72. "The Duke de Richelieu had a conference with the King yesterday. " The Count Decazes is entirely recovece ; ,d.

Thanks to the zeal and firmness of the Authorities of Cadiz and Seviile, neither the garrisons nor the inhabitants of either 01 those cities have taken any part in the revolt contrary, they have strongly manifested their at tachment and fidelity to the King. The disposi tion of the Country is also satisfactory. The Lain attempted to se ,, i%Catli*,.., They were, fcirced-t; renonkic the en terprize.

A Letter has been communicated to us ; it contains nothing respecting the late events, except the following passage :--‘ It is understood that the King of SVAIN has demanded of the King of FIiA>4CE an aid of 25,000 men to _com pel the Rebels to return to their obedience.— It is added, that they is ill remain in Spain dur ing the ensuing winter.' The Madrid Gazette of 'the 13th inst. maintains the most guarded silence as to the events in Andalo,ia. Private Letters • Roth • Madrid, however, though written with the greatest reserve, seem to confirm the apprehen sions inspired by the silence of the Spanish G overnment. Letters from Bayonne, dated the 13th instant, speak of the disturbances at Cadiz as being serious: Several battalion., sent against the Revolters, are said to Lave joined.

The rumo►►rs of movements for an intende►f DIVORCE, in a high quarter, from What we learn, begin to wear a more probable aspect. There are many teabons which render such an event yell proper, if not altogether absolutely necessary. We do not believe, however, that one of the Parties will fare the Inquiry, or endeavour to thwart the oceedings, The Norwich Dinner, was truly a Radial Cele.' bration, little different from that of the HUNTS , the WooLERs, the \VATsoNs, &C. &C. &c. excepts as we have said before, in the quality, ranks and opulence of the leading Orators, and the guests in general. I.nrd ALBEMARLE is a fit Orator for Palate-Yard, the Crown and Anchors or even Spafields and Smithfield. In face, th.c IIuNTs, and the other Reforming Gang whom, We' have mentioned, are more entitled to lenty than , the Norfolk Reformers, as they are fleetly ruffian's , ho have nothing to lose, and every thing 5 0 gain; hut the other Refot mers,. who degrade their rank, make their titles contemptible, and foster principles calculated to promote their own ruin ana the downfal of their Country, are only to be con" sidet ed as madmen anti fools. The chief, the onlY cause of regret on this occasion is, that it involves the character of one branch of the ,Royal Family' We repeat our conviction, that the Duke of Stir.is Ex could not possibly have heard of the death of brother, and that he tnight have believed th.!t psi real cause of alarm was oVer hut still it must 1)0 Idiallte( l'ij c h , 1,1 hilt that tall u p , w ent, la rge M till ° W 1 iSt enCe the hart /111 have I ltiti wis t o have t he prey 4111 Y, b, *tires ad the tau of the k uppose instilteil Meetin l Posses s , ' l ever 1 , tf a In the tile Mire A thenlor' that p vivialit but it liessiok ° nee is li on of 11 ' Co Me Th p ur Visit oi ci rcoa Oh 101 1111 b le arn a bOt ev e , iw as his , ''ily., Proir) o ' 4 adi ca NI ref bred ( tioti .
