SIR, BRACKLEY, OCT. 31, 1827. The Papers having given a very incorrect account of the Mail robbery at this place, the following ac count is at your service : Whilst the mail-cart, which runs from Oxford to Northampton, was standing at the Post-office at Brackley, on Monday night the 15th instant, and the driver was gone into the stable for his horse, the Northampton, Birmingham, Towcester, and Coventry bags were taken from the box. The Brackley bags had been exchanged, and Mrs. Lathbury, the post-mistress, was retiring to rest, but hearing a noise at the cart mentioned it to the driver, who finding the Brackley bags in the cart, concluded the others were under them, and did not discover his loss till he reached Towcester, where looking for a bundle of clothes, he found that and the bags missing. Early on the following morning, four bags were found in a stream of water under a bridge on the Banbury-road, about half a mile from Brackley. The letters had been rifled, and were most of them in fragments. Two men were seen by the driver, by the light of his lamp, when he drove up to the office, and two young men of Brackley answering his description, having been on that night in company, one of them, Thomas Hattie, was taken into custody, whose person was recognized by the driver ; but he denied any knowledge of the transaction, and no property was found upon him. The other man, John Spittle, was not to be found. Mr. Hayward, a solicitor, to whom Mr. Latlibury applied for advice, despatched a messenger to Mr. Freeing, with an account of the robbery and a de scription of Spittle. Officers also were sent in the direction of Banbury, and before night one Richard Haynes, who had been drinking there with Spittle, was taken into custody. Information being con veyed to Mr. Freeling that Spittle was supposed to be gone to London by the mail from Banbury, a Bow-street officer (Salmon) was sent in pursuit, who took him into custody at Edgeware, and conveyed him immediately to Brackley, where he arrived on Friday morning the 19th, in time for an examina tion which had been appointed on that day of the other prisoners. Previous to this some discoveries were made by Haynes, and he was sent to Banbury with an officer, to whom he pointed out the place where part of the property, amounting to about 601. in Bank notes, &c. was concealed, and this was fortunately recovered. And the bundle was found under a cock of haulm, in Brackley Field, where it was evident the bags, or some of them, had been ransacked. The prisoners were remanded for a further exami nation till Friday last, when Mr. Peacock, the solicitor for the General Post-office, attended, and the depositions of numerous witnesses were taken before the Rev. Mr. Fasvcett and several other Ma gistrates, which occupied them from 10 o'clock in the morning till 8 o'clock at night, and the three prisoners were filially committed for trial, at the Lent Assizes, at Northampton. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A. HAYWARD. DUBLIN, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 28. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) It is, I suppose, a subject of much greater interest to you, i►► London, to know what are the real opinions of the Irish with respect to the appointment (which the SUN was the first to announce) of Sir Anthony Hart to the Irish Chancellorship, than to learn what was either said or done in the Catholic Association yesterday. Though, by the way, you should not forget that in the Corn Exchange you may not unfrequently learn what are the sent►ments of the Irish Catholics upon subjects of importance. There has certainly been considerable disappoint ment felt with respect to the non-appointment of Baron Plunkett to the Irish Seals. Some of these reasons I have already explained to you; but to all the well-wishers of Government—the supporters of the policy of the present Ministry (and they con stitute the great majority in this country)—l ani certain the appointment of Sir A. Hart will be most agreeable. The truth is, we are sick of party poli t►cs, and the endless miseries and dissensions conse quent upon them ; and if a defeat to one party can be avoided, without exciting disgust in the other, who expected a triumph, so much the better. This, I think, the Ministry have completely effected in the present appointment, for there ►s not the slightest doubt that the success of Lord Plunkett would have been regarded as a triumph by the Catholics, and a defeat to the Orangemen or Tories of Ire land. Now, Sir Anthony Hart conies to this coun try avowedly no party man ; his legal abilities are (thanks to the London Press) extremely well known throughout Ireland ; and, though he is not possessed of the deep knowledge Lord Plunkett has of our Magistracy, still, as his character and his love of justice are well known, and as he has no factious feelings to gratify, it is not improbable but that our Magistracy may be deterred from all kinds of mal practices, and thus the new Chancellor prevent much of that evil which it was expected Lord Plun kett would have completely removed. As the long vacation is now nearly over, our " orators by profession" are beginning to flock ►nto town. We had, for instance, Mr. O'Connell at the Corn Exchange yesterday. Although the day was extremely wet, there was an immense number of gentlemen collected in the rooms to welcome him to town. He appeared in his Liberator's uniform, blue coat, yellow waistcoat, and Associatio►► button. We expect to have an extremely busy and interesting term ; and I am told our theatre will open with great eclat—of all which things you shall have due and timely notice. MR.GRANT--ROMAN CATHOLICS—WhiIe Mr. CHARLES GRANT was Secretary in Ireland, be esta blished the Fishery Board (somewhat similar to the late Linen Board), nineteen of the resident Nobility and Gen try were selected for Commissioners, five whom were Ro man Catholics, viz.:—The Hon. EDWARD PRESTON, Sir JOHN BURKE, Bart., JOHN THERM', VAL. O'CONNOR, and Thomas M'DoNNELL, Esqrs. ; also one of the Pro vincial Inspectors-General, and at least one-third of the Local Inspectors, &c. &c. were Roman Catholics, all nomi nated by Mr. GRANT.—Dublin Eveniny Post. THE MUSEUM AND TILE KALEIDOSCOPE. —There are two publications in Liverpool, called the Museum and the Kaleidoscope, the first published on Sa turday, and the second on Monday. The Editor of the Museum announced, by bills on the walls, that he Would, on Saturday last, give with his paper a supplement, containing Sir WALTER SCOTT'S new tale of The Two Drovers. No sooner did this announcement meet the eye of the Editor of the Kaleidoscope, than he determined to steal a march on his cotemporary, and, instead of waiting until Monday, to bring forth his publication on Friday ! This be actually did, and the motives for his doing so are stated in the Mercury, which contains four distict notices on the subject. "In the last Kaleidoscope," says the Editor, " we promised to introduce an excellent tale from the forthcoming work of Sir WALTER SCOTT, which ap peared exclusively in the London Review of Sunday last. It is looked for with such avidity, that, before the regular publication day of the Kaleidoscope, we shall probably be forestalled in several quarters. We have, therefore, for once, antedated the Kaleidoscope, and shall publish this day, at one o'clock." Now we have no hesitation in de nouncing this as a most untradesman-lik e proceeding, and without a precedent in the whole history of periodical pub lications. It is evidently intended to crush a talented and industrious individual, who has had the temerity to cross the path of the Editor of the Kaleidoscope. What would the latter say, if some one of his cotemporaries were, to an swer a temporary purpose, to bring out a paper, "for once," on the Friday morning? Would he not be loud ini condemnation of the disgraceful conduct of his " brother Editor," and would he not load him with every abusive epithet? And, yet, where is the difference between the case under consideration and the one which we have sup posed? We are glad to fi n d, that the public opinion on the subject coincides with th at w hi c h we h ave e xpressed re speeting it, and that the untradesman-like conduct of the t Editor of the Kaleidoscope is reprobated as it juetly merits. —Liverpofl Albion.

An open Meeting of this body took place yester day at the Freemasons"Favern, W. WITHAM, Esq. in the Chair. Mr. BLOUNT, the Secretary of the Association, read a number of letters from Catholic Clergymen in England, in answer to a late recommendation of the Association, requesting them to use their influence among their flocks in raising subscriptions, for the purpose of printing and distributing tracts to counter act the false impressions made by their adversaries. Most of these answers stated their congregations were in general so poor that they had little hopes o f raising money for such a purpose. One of them stated the fiearers attending his chapel could with difficulty spay a penny a week for a seat on the benches in the chapel. Mr. Blount then read the minutes of the last Meeting, and the Report of the Committee. Mr. QuIN, in rising to move a resolution, would take the opportunity first of objecting to a standing rule of the Association, that four Meetings in the year should take place at stated periods. The in convenience of that was frequently manifest, and on no occasion more so than the present, when so few attended, on account of the greater part of the Nobi lity and Gentry who took an interest in the Catholic Question being out of town. He should, on some future occasion, propose that an alteration as to the time of meeting should be made. He then mo ve d that the minutes of the last meeting be confirmed, and the Report of the General Committee be adopted. Mr. FRENCH objected to the motion. One of the ' resolutions of the last meeting was to the effect that the Association regretted the " heavy calamity" which it had sustained by the death of Mr. Canning. He was sorry to see that such opinions as generally prevailed, had gone abroad respecting that Minister, and however the audience might differ from hits on that point, he hoped they would allow him to pro ceed without interruption.—(Hear.) He never could believe that Mr. Canning was sincere in what he said respecting his zeal for the Catholics, either in public or private, for he never had been in a hurry in advocating their cause, and there never was the smallest probability that any thing like unqualified con cessions would have been obtained under his auspices. The people of England had been enlightened on the subject, and to no man did they owe half so much for this favourable change of sentiment as to Mr. Cobbett.—(Hear, hear.) To Cobbett, and not to Canning, was the praise due. Mr. French then moved that the 'word special in the resolution in praise of Mr. Canning be left out. Mr. SULLIVAN seconded the motion, when, after some desultory conversation between the Chairman, Mr. Blount, Mr. Quin, and Mr. French, he moved an amendment, that the resolution in toto should be expunged. Mr. BLOUNT was serry to see such a subject of discussion excited at that moment. Mr. TERRY expressed his most unqualified dis approbation of Mr. French's attack on the memory of Mr. Canning, and regretted exceedingly that such a course had been pursued. There was always a set of persons like Mr. French, who took every op portunity of selecting a course different from that of the great body, in order to raise dissensions and in jure the general cause. The great body of the Ca tholics—he might say the whole of them—looked upon Mr. Canning's death not as a public but a pri vate calamity, and no statement could be more false than that he destroyed the effect of any speech he made in favour of the Catholics by the peroration. He would only appeal to the recollection of those who heard him, whether the peroration of his last speech on the subject was not in direct contradic tion to what Mr. French had stated. He compared the hardships of the Catholics to the bondage in which the Israelites were held by Pharaoh, and concluded by stating, " that if by the vote of that night the House refused to agree to the motion, he shuddered to contemplate the consequences."— (Hear, hear.) Mr. FRENCH rose to reply, but was called to order by Mr. E. MACDONELL. He still, however, conti nued to reply amidst loud cries of " Order, Chair; spoke, spoke." " I will be heard," said he, " I will not be put down by noise." He then addressed himself to Mr. Quin, and imputed to him that he took part with the speaker who had made an attack on him, in order that he might get ,his own speeches into the papers. Mr. QUIN declared, that so far from being on ha bits of intimacy with the gentleman, he had not spoken to him for the last twelve months. Mr. ANDREWS—This Association represents the aristocracy of the Catholic body.—(No, no.) Mr. Canning was the bitterest enemy the Catholics ever bad.—(Hisses and cheering.) The great body of the Catholics were adverse to Canning. The Bill of 1813 was introduced through his means, and con demned by the whole Catholic body. How, then, think of lauding a man who never had done any good to the Catholics, English or Irish, who trampled on the rights of the people ? and he there -fore sincerely hoped that, for the sake of their own character, they would reject that resolution. Mr. ENEAS MACDONELL said, that whatever might be the result of this meeting, he should take care there should be no misunderstanding as to facts. This Committee would not submit to be styled the aristocracy of the Catholic body—they had been appointed by the Catholics of England, and if now these Catholics believed them unfit for their situa tion, they had only to say so, and they would re sign their situations. He must say that this discus sion, in every point of view, was painful—the re sult would be disagreeable in whatever way it might terminate : on the one side or the other it would be nearly the same, and nothing could make amends for the bare mention of such accusations. Besides, the attack was unfair. Mr. Canning, who had been thus assailed, was not here to defend himself. He was no admirer of Mr. Canning's political opinions, but he hoped no political feelings would ever induce him to consent to such a proposition as that made by Mr. Sullivan, or to agree to the opprobrium cast on Mr. Canning by another speaker. Who could stand be fore George Canning in advocating the general principle& of liberty ? Who had done so much for the cause throughout the world ? None. But not withstanding this, he was decidedly opposed to him on the question of securities'; and if a Bill were carried through Parliament clogged with restrictions, he would sooner throw all up than accept it if ac . coMpanied by securities.—(Hear.) Mr. SHEA called Mr. Macdonell to order, and submitted the impropriety of discussing the question of securities on that occasion. Mr. MACDONELL thought there was no impro priety in mentioning the subject. It was a subject of great importance, and if a Bill should ever be passed having for one of its clauses that the Crown should have the power of interfering in the nomina tion of Catholic Bishops he would oppose it. But besides this regret for Mr. Canning's death did not imply that he was all perfect. If no man who had faults was to be praised, whom could they praise ? The very fact that the Tory party made such a violent opposition to him, was the most convincing proof that his principles and theirs were not the same—and it was well known what the opinions of the Tories were regarding emancipation. Mr. Macdonell con cluded by appealing to Mr. French whether this op position and angry discussion, would not delight their common enemies, and called upon him to with draw his motion. • Mr. FRENCH.—The motion is not mine ; and pro ceeded again to address the audience on the subject. Dr. COLLINS rose at the same time, and insisted on being heard ; but Mr. French refused to yield. and continued for some time, amidst loud cries of " Order, order ! Chair, chair ! Hear, hear ! Hear him !" Mr. BLOUNT.—If this scene of confusion is not put an end to, I must request the Chairman to dis solve the meeting. Mr. QUIN submitted that Mr, Freueii had also W spoken, and moved, that the sense of the meeting should be taken as to his right to speak. Mr. FRENCH—I see they have come to trick me in this way. - Dr. COLLINS—Is there no possibility of making him hold his tongue ? The CHAIRMAN, in answer to what had fallen from Mr. French, that he had not finished his speech, argued that, instead of finishing his speech, he had for some time been replying to the speech of another. Mr. FRENCH—Aye, but I had not done with speaking, and I wished to dilate on the subject. Dr. COLLINS--I am a clergyman, and cannot submit to be interrupted constantly. Mr. FRENCH—You interrupted me. Dr. COLLINS could not submit to this interruption when his own conduct was called ill question. He had been a Member of the Committee, and approved of the resolution. He considered Mr. Canning had done much to do away with prejudices on the Catho lic question. A Mr. CALLAGH, a Catholic clergyman, who had stepped in on passing, proceeded at some length to inveigh, as was understood, against Mr. Canning, but he spoke in such a wild outlandish accent, that it is useless to attempt to give an outline of what he said. Mr. BLOUNT regretted exceedingly the course which the discussion had taken. Mr. QuiN disclaimed all personal hostility to Mr. French, acknowledged his talents, and regretted only that the Learned Gentleman had not succeeded so well in politics as in literature, and every thing connected with it. With regard to the subject be fore them, he would only ask in what a state the Cabinet was in:-August, and whether they (the Catholics) were not called upon to express their regret for the death of Mr. Canning. In June, July, and part of August, the majority of the Ca binet were in favour of the Catholics, but on the Bth .of that month the centre of the arch was dis solved, and the Catholics expected every moment to see the Tories,_ their unbending opponents, sub stituted in their:ptace. Mr. FRENCH here interrupted Mr. Quin, and asked if he was a member ? • Several voices replied at once that he was. Mr. FRENCH—I deny that he is a member, and notwithstanding what is said, I will not believe it till I see it in writing. The books were then produced, but Mr. French at last took the clerk's word that Mr. Quin had given him a cheque for 31. after entering the room. Mr. QUIN resumed, and asked if any man could deny that Mr. Canning's death was a heavy calamity for the Catholics, and he was convinced every Ca tholic of any judgment, regarded it as such.—(" No, no," from Mr. French.) It remains to be seen if the sentiments of the meeting are like your's, and if the Catholic Association will sanction such a mea sure. Mr. Sta.uvAN.—Do you call this the Catholic Association ? There are not more than fifty persons in, the room. Mr. Quis.—lf a stranger had come into the room during Mr: French's philippic against Mr. Canning, he must Have concluded at once that he was a supporter of Londonderry, Sir T. Lethbridge, and all those opposed to liberal opinions.—(" I am no Jacobite," from Mr. French.) He asks what monument Mr. Canning left. Has it been forgotten that he released us from the yoke of the Holy Alli ance, and that he introduced and passed through the Commons a Bill for allowing Catholic Peers to sit in Parliament ? But he should consider it disre spectful to the memory of that great man to say a word more, and concluded by opposing the motion. Dr. COLLINS begged, to state what had been said by a high authority on the subject. Lord Eldon had given it as his opinion, that if Mr. Canning bad recovered from his illness, the Catholic Question would have been carried next Session. After a few more attempts to speak on the part of Mr. French and Mr. Sullivan, the amendment was put, that all the resolutions be confirmed, excepting that which praised Mr. Canning. For the Amendment 9 Against it 2O The original motion was then put and carried. Mr. UALLAGt4 then moved a resolution, which, as far as it could be understood, disapproved of Mr. Canning's conduct respecting the securities and the " wings." Mr. FRENCH seconded the motion, and was pro ceeding with digression after digression—one time speaking of a monument to Canning; another time of one to Brougham, when the greater part of the Meeting lost all patience, and left the room. Our reporter was carried away in the rush, and cannot give any account of the breaking tip of the Meeting, The remains of the Earl of PEMBROKE are to be removed to-morrow from Privy-gardens, for inter ment in the family vault at Wilton, near Salisbury, Wilts. Miss PATON is confined to her house by a cough and hoarseness. PROGRESS OF LITERATURE IN AFRICA.— At a late meeting of the Academie de Geographic, M. Q. Barbie du Bocage read a letter from M.

The beautiful seat of his Grace the Duke of Grafton was last week the scene of considerable festivity, the noble owner having invited a large and fashionable party to partake of the well-known hospitality of Euston-park. The party consisted of the Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter,; Lord and Lady Charles Somerset, Lord Anson, Earl and Coun tess of Euston, Lady De Roos, the Hon. Miss De Roos, Lord Alvanley, Sir John Shelley, the Hon. Colonel Au son, Irby, Esq., Lord James Fitzroy, Lord John Fitz roy, Greville, Esq., and many others. The greater part of the week was occupied in hunting, shooting, fal conry, and other field sports ; and, by way of a wind-up, the week closed with horse races, all the horses being ridden by noblemen and gentlemen, and about a mile hav ing been allotted in the park for each race. Great skill was displayed by the gentlemen jockies in the following races, which were all excellently contested : Match. Lord Alvanley's cl►. b. Piccadilly Mr. Greville's roan mare 2 Won easy.

A foot race will be run on Monday next, between Berry, a Lancashire man, and Clarkson, of Birkenshaw—for 50 sovs. a side. The race will bt run on the high-way from Bradford to Birkenshaw and bank—a distance of ten miles. Berry is the favourite at 6 to 4.—Manchester Mercury. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE is to be the new Lord Lieutenant for Wiltshire, vacant by Earl PEM BROKE'S death. The Marquis and Marchioness of ELY, their family and suite, arrived at Ely Lodge in the course of last week, where, we understand, it is the intention of the Noble Marquis to fix his chief residence for some time. The carriage in which the Marquis and Marchioness rode was met at a considerable distance from the lodge by the work men in his Lordship's employment, and other persons in the neighbourhood, and drawn to the lodge amidst the greatest cheering. Bonfires were lighted on the surround ing eminences, and every demonstration of joy manifested. The crowds of persons about the house were copiously re galed by order of the Noble Marquis. NOVEL MODE OF QUALIFYING WIT NESSE& —At the Middlesex Sessions, yesterday, in an in dictment for keeping a house of ill-fame, two parish con stables, both married men, were brought forward to prove the character of the house, which, to enable them the bet ter to do, each had been instructed to take a girl to the house. The Chairman held, that witnesses coming forward in this manner to give evidence of their own immorality, were not to be relied on, and the consequence was the ac quittal of the defendant. A CHEAP HUSBAND.--A young servant girl who had conducted herself much to the satisfaction of her mistress, was presented by her with 5/. to save as a marriage-portion. Some time after her mistress desired to see the lover. He was ugly and mis-shapen. "My good lass," said the lady, " what a comical husband you have chosen."—" Ah ! Madam," replied the girl, with much simplicity, "what can one expect to get for Si." STANISLAUS, King of POLAND, had ass astonishing memory. VOLTAIRE waited on the MONARCH by his invitation, to read to him his Tragedy of ifEdi pus, then revised. While the reading was in progress, the KING engaged in a game of chess with the Duke of NAR BONNE. " Sire," said Vovratar, at the end of the third act, " I shall be deprived through your present occupa tion of your excellent advice." " Not at all," replied the KING, " and to prove this, I will now point out to you those changes which I think the most happy." The KING then quoted one hundred and eighty new verses, made judicious remarks on them, and finished, notwithstanding, by winning the game,....,Farpt de Londre:. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Most impartial and discriminating persons who had an opportunity of reading the letter pub lished by Sir Walter Scott on the 14th of Sep tember, in reply to General Gourgaud's attacks upon the veracity of the worthy Baronet, Where Sir Walter, in his Life of Napoleon, had been compelled to touch upon the dirty subject of the intrigues and squabbles connected with the im prisonment of his hero at St. Helena, were, we think, pretty well agreed that the English author, however defective his original work, as a history of the most striking and awful period in the an nals of modern Europe, had nevertheless dis posed sufficiently in the said epistle of this M. Gourgaud—of his objections to the figure under which he was represented in the book, as well as of his pretensions to the praise of straight forward integrity, of virtuous pride, and of gene rous devotion to his master ; General Gourgaud, however, has not, it seems, had enough: - The official documents brought forward by Sir Wal ter, in justification of the part which he had - as signed to Gourgaud in his history, were too much for the patience of this slippery retainer of Napoleon : they have provoked him to a fresh indulgence of his anger, and we must really add, at the expence and to the injury of no reputation but that of General Gourgaud ; as we sometimes find the refractory inmate of our hospital tear off a" blister because it itches him, and scratch the sore until it bleeds. Sir Walter Scott had accused General Gourgaud of having made certain communications to the British Go vernment, and to the diplomatic representa tives of two others of the Allied Powers, in substance that Buonaparte's health was good, his finances,. overflowing, his means of escape both easy and frequent ; while the General him self pretended that he knew the situation of Na poleon to be in all respects quite the reverse : as also, of having by these, (whether true or false representations), very naturally produced an in crease of rigour in the precautions taken by the Governor of St. Helena to prevent his prisoner m ascribedta taking advantage himanta by his ownofthese formidable faci litiesAide-de-Camp. This was the offence of Sir W. Scott,—a grave one in the eyes of Gourgaud, who sputtered prodigious things about calumny, falsehood, baseness, and so forth, in the Baronet, but left the question of " who tdld truth ?" at issue upon the word of the English historian weighed against that of M. Gourgaud. Sir W. Scott did that which would have occurred to every honest man, whose fair dealing had violent im putations cast upon it. He produced his autho rities, extracted from the Colonial-office. To these General G-ourgaud's present pamphlet professes to be a reply ; but we do conscien tiously declare, that with every readiness to ac knowledge—and, indeed, with every wish to dis cover—something like a defence of the character of General Gourgaud, whose good name has alone been implicated, (for that of Sir Walter was abundantly cleared, even had the official documents which he consulted turned out to be as false as they appear to be unquestionable),— the charge against the General stands precisely where it was before this ill-judged attempt at re futation was published, and in no one instance can we make out a satisfactory answer to the plain assertion, that Gourgaud, had in repeated instances either betrayed Buonaparte, or sacri ficed the truth. In the reply subjoined to Sir Walter Scott's statement of September, there is enough, even to satiety, of declamation against the English Government under Lord Castle reagh, of subterfuge and equivocation with re gard to the words on record against himself, and of gross abuse and Billingsgate against the his torian who has placarded him ; but of direct and successful negative there is not one syllable,—. the Aide-de-Camp of St. Helena shows himself linanis:e' Session, to be nothing better than a cross between a blus terer and sophist.—Times. The public has reason to regret the further prorogation of Parliament—for it must be clear to every one at all conversant with the subject, that the ordinary period allotted to the Session is utterly inadequate to the full and fair discus sion of the various measures submitted to the Legislature. If this be the case in times of nu ()Teat difficulty, and when the object is to com pareb the balance sheet of the public accounts and make the income meet the expenditure— how much more forcibly will it not apply to a period like the present, when our foreign embar rassments are thickening on all hands—when millions of our people are unemployed at home —and when the ordinances of Parliament are set at defiance by our Colonies. We shall not at present further advert to the very critical state into which hasty councils have betrayed us, be cause in the unaccountable absence of all positive intelligence, we can neither calculate the amount nor' real nature of the subject. ff all were straight and right, we think the Government should announce it to the public—and whether it be so or not, they should have called Parlia ment together to assist them in devising the best scheme, either to get rid of the inglorious struggle, or pursue it with promptitude and vigour. We do not see in the present Administration those elements of wisdom, quickness, or com prehensiveness, which would induce us to plane ment cannot be taken as other than a dispo. timainpliyicittherelfivanrtcheer opnrotrhogeiartiornesoolvfest,boandpmeleira: sttiit think, la°, cessitynki i d, ~notcompels s deferut to ffi renderingcie 1 meet lt th efoi the lir stoil anthe o country,d accounts y( i i 0 s u . ti This, e i Tl of evil leabsolutetybhteh seem,however, rew xe vo l i eft e . ro, . e u o r. ple have a right to is stew ardshipnot the till I return the which eleventh the eh people e fi x d p e e n e c t e for w t h h i e cii th mistaken eyex b h u i t bi s t t e il d l generous toards c th o e u n t when, like the fragments of a ruin, no hand-was to be found adventurous enough to g ather and again unite them into solidity. Where much is given, muchwill be expected ; but give what we can we apprehend the place-despising Whigs will still be expecting more. However, as we have just said, we shall abstain from further reference to relations—to the the state of our foreign dis tractions of our colonies. But we beg leave to ask the retainers of Ministers, what they intend to do with Test Acts ?—what with the annual it)—Ca tholic Emancipation—what course will they take with the Corn Bill—what means devise either to find e mployment for a surplus population at farce (as Sir Francis Burdett phras t e h d ee r o s n t e o omfeet muarrtteenrst home—or tax the nation to find it for them in one or other of our colonies ? What, we should only y ire ample time for deliberalion ; and like to know, is to become of the promised re trenchmentbut to make for all up all the deficiencies of the last. It is notorious that objects of the most pressing importance wh yet,uo s u i n ' ld e o s t business o ng the h a Surelynvee I V t were neglected—were sacrificed in the last Ses sion, in order that the late Mr. Canning might, by hook or by crook, string an Administration together--and yet his successors, the Whigs, I i
