We publish at full length, from the Dutch Papers, the speech of the King of Holland at the opening of the Session of the States-General. His Majesty makes no revelation about his ulterior views with respect to the war, and does not allude to the treaty concluded at London on the previous Saturday. It may strike the English public as rather odd, that one session should end an the 16th of October, and the other begin on the 17th. This arises from a regulation of the fundamental law, which fixes a particular day for the opening of a session without reference to the time when the previous session ter minates. HAGUE, OCT. 17. This day his Majesty opened the session of the States. General with the following speech : " HIGH AND MIGHTY LORDS, " The difficult circumstances in which the country has for more than a year been placed have prolonged your last session until the present, which I now open. " In the course of that year you have been informed of the progress of the events and negotiations occasioned by the armed insurrection of Belgium. Your High Mightinesses must have been convinced that the constant efforts of the Government, during the whole of that period, to terminate on advantageous conditions the painful state of necessity, in which the faithful Netherlands were placed, of making extraordinary efforts, have been fruitless. " However, to the sacrifices occasioned by this state of things has been added an energy which opens for the nation a consola tory perspective. The country has given to Europe a brilliant example of unalterable attachment to the principles of religion and social order. She has shown a firm determination to main tain herself in that position, and this determination must have an advantageous influence on her consideration among the Powers, and on the decision of her future fate. " The volunteers, civic guard, and militia, have in courage and perseverance been rivals of the regular land and sea forces. Seconded by the enthusiasm which animates all my subjects, their efforts have sufficed, not only to protect the country, but even to attack, on his own territory, an enemy of nearly double our population, to conquer him, and drive him back into the heart of his country, leaving him no other means of safety except that of calling foreign phalanxes to his aid. " Our mind is still deeply impressed with all the proofs of fidelity and intrepidity given by the defenders of the state, and of all the heroic deeds which have shone forth with so much lustre. A grateful posterity will keep them in recollection. " In consequence of this spirit, it has not been necessary to have recourse to the levy en masse, prepared at the commence ment of your last session. On those liable to be called out, nothing more is required than a local service, similar to that which they already perform in several towns, conjointly with the volunteers of all classes, to which they have devoted them selves with the most praiseworthy zeal _ _ . " Nevertheless, no pains have been spared to obtain an honourable peace ; but we are prepared for a new war, if the hope of a prompt and equitable arrangement should not yet be realized. " To this end have been ordered an extraordinary levy of the National Militia, and the rendering disposable the first van of the Civic Guard for the present year. Meanwhile the stu dents of the universities and Athenma, who hastened with so much courage to the armies, but who have now resumed their studies, are prepared to resume the sword, whenever the honour and defence of the country may require their aid. " Amidst the evils so unmerited which afflict the country, the relations of amity with other Powers are maintained and extended. The difficulties which for many years have pre vented the navigation of the Rhine from being regulated, are removed by a convention, concluded with States bordering on that river ; and this convention is now in force. " It is agreeable to me, to be able to announce to your High Mightinesses, that the state of agriculture presents this year snore satisfactory results than it has done for several preceding years. The harvest has been favourable beyond expectation. " While other countries are afflicted with a prevailing and spreading' malady, the Netherlands, thanks to Providence, has hitherto been spared. At the end of last year, the necessary measures were adopted for preventing the introduction of the disease by nautical communication. Aided by the information of men of science, the means most proper for averting this scourge, and for diminishing its intensity if it should reach us, are under investigation and in preparation. " Commerce, navigation, and all branches of human industry therewith connected, have generally suffered ; and, conse quently, that suffering has also been felt in this kingdom through the obstacles which communications have experienced from the uncertainty occasioned by political commotions and other circumstances. This additional evil, though heavy, is, in its nature, temporary, and cannot have a permanent influ ence on our relations. " The canal cut through the island of Voorne has this year been opened for the passage of vessels, and the undertaking completely answers the expectations which were formed of its success. " The draught of a new law, and of a tariff of import, ex port, and transit duties, is at present the subject of serious de liberation, in order to its being finally submitted to your High Mightinesses. This law, I am convinced, will best contribute to the welfare of the old Netherlands, by being made to com bine an entire liberty for foreign trade with due protection to our flag, our agriculture, and our domestic industry. "The internal tranquillity which has fortunately been re stored in our East India possessions, adds a favourable influence to the efforts constantly employed for re-establishing the finances of those countries. Your High Mightinesses will obtain proofs of this by communications which will be made on the subject during the present session. " In the West India colonies industry is still fettered, but the means of removing its embarrassments form the object of our particular attention. " Notwithstanding the difficult position in which we are placed by the Belgic insurrection, the finances of the state have suffered no confusion. The co-operation and perseverance of my faithful countrymen have rendered it possible to fulfil all engagements. The interest of the public debt, and the great expenses of the navy and army, have consequently been paid regularly and without any delay. " In the preparation of laws relative to the expenses of the incoming year, and the means of meeting the same, I have en deavoured to cause to be observed the severest economy as to the former, and the alleviation as far as possible of the burdens which the expenditure mll occasion. " The situation of the kingdom requires great sacrifices, but I shall propose them with confidence to your High Mighti nesses, convinced as I am that it is the unanimous determina tion of my beloved people to prove by every means to our friends and to our enemies, that whatever trials Providence may re serve for us, we can not only provide for the wants of the country, but also maintain those principles on which the honour the liberty, and existence of the people of the old Ne therlands repose, and thereby cause to be respected the national credit and independence. " I have found it necessary to submit to a revision the code already adopted, together with the law on the judicial organi. zation, in order that the same may be made to coincide better with the interests of the old Netherlands. I hope to be able to present to you during the present session a part of this impor tant operation. " High and Mighty Lords,—Our future is still covered with a veil, but with confidence in the wisdom and bounty of the Almighty we await the decision of our lot ; for our cause is just, and all our people religiously persevere in the unanimous reso lution to sacrifice their property and their blood for the main tenance of our beloved country." !nt ' _ FINE ARTS. ILLUSTRATIONS OF HEATH'S PIC. TURESQUE ANNUAL.- 1832. We have just seen the Illustrations of this Annual, which may be justly styled "picturesque," since it is lavishingly em bellished with some of the choicest landscapes, executed too in the finest style, by some of one finest artists, we have ever seen. The engravings are twenty-six in number, many of them from the designs of Stanfield, one of the ablest and most effective landscape paintcrs of the age. They are, of course, of various degrees of excellence, but though some are far better than others, we'can with perfect truth declare that there is not one that is not above mediocrity. Neither time, labour, nor ex pense seems to have been taken into account in producing a veritable picturesque annual. The view of Inspruck, en graved by that admirable artist Heath, from a painting in Stan field's best manner, is remarkable for the delicacy and finish of its execution. The perspective is in the strictest keeping, and a wide range of landscape taken in with consumm a t e s kill. Trent is a spirited engraving by 'Miller, full of life and variety. The subject is manifestly a difficult one to handle, but the artist has done it justice. Porto D'Ossvla breathes the very spirit of romance and beauty , a scene which Moore might illus trate in verse, and Irving in prose. The bold decided foreground —the faint ranges of distant mountains, melting as they recede from view, till they gradua ll y blend with the long li ne o f h azy clouds above and around them —the intermediate space between the foreground and the dista nce, filled up with slender s t rea k s of silvery rivulets, snug, sheltered farm-steads, romantic lages, and teeming meadows-,give a life, a richness, an ani mation to the landscape, which must be seen to be properly ap preciated. Of the remaining landscapes we have merely left ourselves space sufficient to say, that they are well selected and equally well executed. On Monaay,the 17th instant, Colonel WooD, the Member of Parliament for Breconshire, arriv e d a t Brecon about five o'clock in the evening. In consequence of his voting against the third reading of the Reform Bill, his constituents are much dissatisfied. His effigy was ca r . tied through the principal streets of the town, and burnt amidst the yells and groans of the populace, on the Priory. bridge, within 50 yards of the Priory House, the seat of Marquis CAMDEN, where Colonel WOOP resides during his stay in that town.

His MAJESTY'S most gracious Speech at the pro rogation of Parliament yesterday, has been produc tive of general satisfaction. He assures the people that he is unalterable in his determination to obtain for them. Reform ; but adds, that if they hope to attain the desirable end, they must practise the les sons of patience and moderation. The Speech, in fact, is worthy of the great and enlightened and patriotic MONARCH who deliver it, and of the people to whom it is addressed. In another part of our Paper will be found re ports of Reform meetings that have lately taken place in Hull, Newcastle, and. the populous and in- fluential county of Surrey. We have also given a lengthened account of the great Birmingham meet ing, which took place yesterday, and which con sisted not of the mere rabble, but of all the respect able merchants, bankers, and tradesmen who repre- sent the wealth and influence of that commercial and highly important district. To-morrow we shall give full reports of the Ayrshire and Northumber land meetings, which in their way are equally im- portant—equally significant, expressing, as they do, the sentiments of the community at large, in the language not of defiance, not of desperation, but of confidence, and indomitable determination. In all these meeting,, it is remarkable that one spirit is uppermost—a spirit of settled, decided re pugnance to the Episcopal Bench for its late inadvertent" vote on the Refcrm question. The men of Birmingham hold the same language as the men of Newcastle; the men of the South vie with those of tile North ; Ireland keeps pace with Scotland; all classes, in short, through out the three kingdoms are equally strenu ous in their reprobation of the officious—we might almost add, the unwarrantable—conduct of the Bishops. Is this spirit to be wondered at ? Far from it. It is the natural consequence of circumstances. The Reverend Prelates having thrown down the gauntlet of defiance to the people, the latter have naturally enough taken it up. The two parties are conse quently at issue with each other, and the question between them now is, ought Bishops to sit in the House of Lords or not ? The Reverend Prelates say Yes; the People say No. We shall see, by and bye, which party will be right in its opinions. In one respect, the votes of the Episcopal Bench, however mischievously intended, have done good. They have attracted the attention of the whole kingdom, to the glaring inconsistency of Spiritual Peers being allowed to decide upon all temporal matters, with the majority of which they have no more to do than Mr. LISTON or Mr. GRIMALDI with the tithe question. What connection, for instance, or what interest can the Reverend Bench possibly have in beer shops ? Yet we do not forget that some of the ghostly fraternity set themselves strongly against the institution of these houses of accommo dation for the poor, while they were discreetly ; silent on the subject of the constant profanation of the Sabbath by the card parties and dinner parties of the higher classes. This is one only, out of numberless instances, in which the Episcopal Bench has quietly, but steadfastly, opposed itself to the wants and wishes of the community. But indeed it was for years the sworn, unflinching supporter of the arbitrary Government of the Ultra Tories; no measure, provided, it told against the people, was too despotic for its approval —too tough for its digestion; and so much was this the case, that Lord CASTLEREAGH, in the prosecution of his insidious designs against the liberties of three kingdoms, always reckoned on the concurrence of the Episcopal Bench. Temporal Peers might waver, but Spiritual Peers were always sure to be on the side of despotism. The people do not—how is it possible they should ?—forget these things. They have longer memories than the Bishops and the Borough. mongers suppose. They see that the former, .in spite of the solemn, kindly warnings held out to them by those who well knew their position with the country, and had their interests strongly at heart, refused to " set their houses in order," and are now resolved to do it for them. The question of the propriety of Bishops having votes in the House of Lords, the Reverend Prelates having themselves challenged the question, being once fairly mooted by the people, will not soon be set at rest. It will be urged in favour of their expulsion, that with a bad Government they are dangerous, anti with a good one useless; that by being allowed to interfere in temporal matters, they cannot but neglect the Church, for that a Bishop who really and truly attends to his episcopal duties, who makes a point of enquiring into the character and ,con duct of the various Prebendaries, and Rectors, and Curates of his diocese, encouraging the worthy, and discountenancing the silly, the idle, and the profligate, can hae no time for interfering with law or politics. Should it be observed, in re ply to these objections, that it is requisite that Bishops should have , seats in the House of Lords, for the, purpose of protecting the interests of the Church, our rejoinder is, Spiritual Peers c a n do nothing for that establishment that temporal ones cannot do equally well. 'Sure are we that if Lord ELDON, and those who act with him, cannot sufficiently protect the Church, such Prelate , as the Bishop of EXETER can be of little service. Reverting to the question of Reform, of which the one just glanced at forms a branch, we cannot too strenuously urge our countrymen to form themselves every where into Political Unions and Associations; first, for the purpose of increasing their mora► strength; secondly, for the sake of preserving good order. Let them never forget that it was the Catholic Association that emancipated Ireland. So long as the Papist's were divided and distracted by the feud s and jealousies of party, Ireland was a slave to the Protestant Ascendancy faction; but the moment they flung disunion to the winds", and became unani- mous and organized, that instant they recovered their independence. We refer to another column for extracts from the Paris Papers. The French Ministers, in their infatuated endeavours to perpetuate the Hereditary Peerage, only provoke more certain defeat. On Monday they made another, and we hope a fast attempt, to carry the question by a motion to get rid of all the amendments proposed by the Opposition. This was attempted in a manner si milar to that by which, in our House of Commons, the Report of the Committee on a Bill is sometimes sought to be rejected. The failure was a new proof that, on the great principle of the measure, a vast ma jority of the Deputies sympathises with the public. This had been made apparent in the division on M. DELESSERT'S motion on Saturday it is true; but M. Dugs, and others of the Ministerial partisans, imagined that the impression made to the preju dice of the Peerage, by the conduct of our House of Lords, began to fade away,and therefore determined to make another effort in favour of the heredile—•but with signal and merited discomfiture. The following are extracts from the Allgenteine Zeitung of the 14th inst., received this morning:— FRONTIERS OF RUSSIA, SEPT. 30. —The news of the taking of Warsaw has excited the greatest joy at St. Peters burgh, not only at Court but in the whole city, which celebrated the event by a general illumination. With respect to the fate which awaits the Poles, opinions are by no means agreed ; some eminent and influential persons speak of exemplary satisfaction and severe chastisement of the rebels. The Emperor, however, seems averse to every feeling of rigour, and the Poles may hope for pardon if they endeavour to obtain it. It is said that till the final regulation of the affairs of Poland there will be a Lieuten ant-General of the kingdom, and this dignity is intended to be conferred on Prince Paskewitsch : but some think that the Government of the kingdom will be given to the Grand Duke Michael, with extreme powers. But if dear-bought experience has shown that it is not always advisable to place a Prince of the blood in so important and highly responsible a post, it is nevertheless probable that the Grand Duke Michael will remain for a time at Warsaw ; and till it shall be seen what turn the affairs of Europe will take. For it is the general opinion in St. Petersburgh that all is not finished with the subjection of Poland, and that the active ser vices of the Russian army may be farther required. The lan guage hitherto held by the French has been too bitter, too arrogant, to expect moderation from them after the disasters that have befallen their Polish brethren, as they style them, and the continuance in favour of the pacific Perier Administration seems by no means certain. It is therefore necessary to be pre pared against every contingency. The Russian army accor dingly receives reinforcements. The loan guaranteed by the Russian Government to the kingdom of Poland is still recognised, and a Commission - is appointed at Warsaw to regulate the arrears. The Russian Councillor of State, M. Fuhrman, to whom the direction of the Polish finances is at present entrusted, has positive directions to de - termine in the first place the means that are necessary to meet the payments arising from the loan. Negociations will also be immediately entered upon with Austria and Prussia respecting the sums expended in support of the Polish troops who have taken refuge in the territory of those two Allied States. These troops will now be summoned to return to the kingdom of Po land, and to renew the oath of allegiance to their legitimate authority. Despatches were received this morning at the Fo reign office in Downing-street, from our Ambas sador at Paris. Despatches were also received at the Colonial office, from Bermuda and Halifax.

We have no arrivals this morning, consequently there is a great dearth of information. The King's Speech is generally looked upon in the city as favourable in regard to Reform, and the public are now satisfied that he is staunch in the cause. The chief topic of conversation relates to the answer ex pected from Holland and Belgium in regard to the decision of the Five Powers. The Dutch are a nation that will take every thing they can get, and no doubt will accept of the terms. The Belgians are expected to make a strong opposition to the treaty, and as this is the day when the Congress meets to discuss the terms, we may expect to hear some violent speeches and a great deal of dissatisfaction in their meetings, which may last for several days. Our city politicians arc now speculating on the return to this country of King Leopold, as according to his oath he will not be able to accept of the terms laid down by the Five Powers; but we have a different opinion on the sub ject. The Congress may make a new law, and rescind that oath, therefore we have no doubt that he will continue King of Bel gium. The above supposition, with the Stock Exchange specu lators, has had an effect on the funds, and damped the market. Consols. which left off yesterday at 81 X 82 for the account, opened at the same price, since which they have receded to 814 i, and at present they may be quoted at SI X. The Dutch mail is expected, which bring one day's later information. There is nothing doing in the Foreign Market. HALF-PAST ONE. Up to the present hour we arc very dull in the city, for want of information, and the funds have also been langu'd this morning, but within a short period they have resumed a little activity, owing to a report that the King of liolland has accepted the terms, but as yet we do not hear it from an official source. Con sols have been fluctuating during the morning flmm 82 down to 81:%, up again to 81X 82, at which price they are at present with little doing. We do not as yet hear of the arrival of the Dutch mail. In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing. THREE o'o4o eic. Consols, 62. FOUR 0 CLOCK.—CLOSING PRICES.

OLD COURT. James Reeves was indicted for the wilful murder of Mary Bunyon, in the parish of St. James, Clerkenwell, on the 19th of September. At the request of the prisoner, only one witness was ordered to be in Court at a time. Mr. Henry Whitmore, surgeon, stated that he examined the body of Mary Bunyon several days after her death. On open ing the skull he found decomposition going on rapidly, and a great fulness of the vessels ; none of them were ruptured. He could not tell whether there was any concussion, for the signs were not such as could indicate a simple concussion. He opened the body, and found the left lobe of the lungs healthy, but the right lobe extensively diseased ; the pericardium con tained considerably more water than usual. There was a bruise on the right hand, but he saw no other external in jury ; but there might have been injuries which the decomposition would not enable him to perceive. He subsequently examined the windpipe, which he per ceived was partially ossified. On the whole examination of the body, he could not state whether the deceased died by vio lence or otherwise. She had a mortal disease upon her, but it had not advanced far enough to cause her death. Mr. Henry R. Whittaker, also a surgeon, stated that he had been in practice three or four years. He examined the body of the deceased with Mr. Whitmore. He agreed with Mr. Whitmore as to the appearances as far as he had gone. There was a slight contusion in the external part of the era. nium, but no internal injury to correspond. The appearances were not sufficient to induce witness to state whether the de ceased had died from natural causes or from violence. Mr. Henry Whitmore, jun., son of the first witness, gave similar testimony. Thomas Blanche stated, that he knew the prisoner and the deceased, who cohabited together at No 6, Glass-court, Clerkcnwell. On the evening of the 19th of September wit ness saw her; he was at work in the court in which they lived. Prisoner came up to him, and asked, " Have you seen my old b—h ?" He replied he had seen her half an hour before. Shortly after the deceased came up the court, and prisoner asked her where she had been ; she replied, " I have been to get something for your supper, my dear." Prisoner and de; ceased went away together to a public-house, and afterwards returned, and went into their own apartment, shut the shutters, and locked their door. Witness could not tell which of them shut the door. Directly afterwards lie heard them begin to quarrel, and heard a table thrown down with some crockery on it. The deceased said twice to the prisoner, " For God's sake, Jem, don't murder me !" and witness heard dis tinctly the sound of blows, and the deceased screamed out dreadfully. Witness remained at his work outside nearly half an hour, during which time ho heard this. Ttfe deceased's cries became so faint at last as to be very indistinctly heard. While witness was outside, one of the shutters was thrown open violently, but he did not see who opened it ; the window was immediately shut again. The following morning, about eight o'clock, witness saw the prisoner, who told him " My pal is dead." He said she had died about ten o'clock. Witness saw him then go into a broker's shop close by, and, upon coming out, he said that Mr. Bowden, the broker, had charged him with killing his wife ; he said that he had not struck her at all, and only had given her a violent shaking, at the same time showing how he shook her. Cross-examined byl:Mr. CLARKSON—Witness could not tell whether they were married, but had lived together for 17 years. Witness could not tell which of the two first began the quarrel; there were violent words on both sides. Deceased had been ill for some time, and had been in the habit of drinking. Witness had seen her a little intoxicated but not very often ; had seen her so at times. _ _ By Lord TENTERDEN—That evening witness could no say whether she was in liquor ; she appeared to have had a little drink but no great deaL Hannah Allwood stated she lived in Glass.court, near the prisoner ; about six o'clock in the evening of the 19th September lie came to witness's house and looked about ; she asked him if he was looking for his wife ; he replied he was, and he would break her neck when he found her. About half an hour afterwards witness saw the prisoner and the deceased come into the court together apparently very peaceably ; Blanche was at work in the court. After the prisoner and deceased had got into their apartment witness heard a violent blow, and the de ceased beseeching him not to do so. She heard just afterwards another blow, and the deceased begged him not to beat her. The next morning witness heard of the deceased being dead. Cross-examined—Witness lived in the adjoining house. The deceased appeared to be a sickly woman, and had often corn plaMed of the prisoner's ill-treatment towards her. W. Bowden, a broker living near the prisoner stated that on the evening in question he saw the prisoner and deceased going down Glass court together. The deceased did not appear to be in liquor, but the prisoner did. The deceased said at that time that her health was better than it had been for a long time. About seven o'clock the next morning witness saw prisoner, who said " his old pal was gone." Witness asked him what he meant, and he replied, "she died last night at ten o'clock." Anne Day stated that she lived in the same house as the prisoner. On the evening in question, about eight o'clock, the .prisoner asked her (the witness) for a light, and she went down stairs to give hisn one; lie did not open the door, but took the light in at the window, and said, "my b—h has fallen down, do come in and help me up with her." He got the poker, and wrenched the door open, having mislaid the key. Witness then went in and found deceased, lying on the floor ; she did not speak ; witness and prisoner lifted her up and laid her on thebed. The deceased moved her legs, but did not speak. She had been ill for eight months before, and witness had often expected her to die. At about a quarter after ten o'clock the prisoner called witness again, and upon going dOwn she found the deceased lying on the bed quite dead. There were some liver and bacon, not cooked, in the sumo. Cross-examined—Had known deceased for many years; she was very much given to drink; she never took snore than a pennyworth at a time, but took it often ; she could stand a good deal before she got drunk. When witness assisted in lifting deceased on the bed she smelt much of liquor, and prisoner was also intoxicated. Sarah Howard also lived in the same house as the prisoner and deceased, anti corroborated the preceding witness's testimony. Cross-examined —Deceased was much given to drink. When the prisoner was sober his conduct was very kind to her. Two other witnesses gave similar evidence. Mr. Whitmore being recalled stated that in the state the de ceased was described to be, a violent shaking would occasion death, and so would some blows. Cross-examined—The appearance of the body indicated a disposition to drink. Drinking might have produced similar effects in the pericardium. If she were intoxicated, and fell down, death might have ensued. Mr. Whittaker was also recalled, and stated his opinion that a violent shaking or blow given to a person intoxicated, might produce death without leaving any marks of violence. Cross-examined—lf she had fallen on the ground in a state of intoxication, and remained lying down some time before she was lifted up, it might be possible that death would ensue, The prisoner, in his defence, said he never touched the de ceased, who fell down. Lord TENTERDEN, in his address to the Jury, said there was no evidence to show a preconceived malice ; and, therefore, the case could not amount to more than manslaughter, if the Jury should be of opinion that the deceased received her death in some way or other at the hands of the prisonos, His Lordship then very minutely summed up the evidessee; after which, The Jury acquitted the prisoner.

FIRST LORD of his AIAJESTY'S TREASURY. 31v LORD,—Nu event within the memory of the pre. sent generation has afforded a more elitire satisfaction to tlx great majority of your countrymen, than your Lordship's elevation to the first place in hi. Majtety'• beheld in it the commencement of an era full of hope and p-omise—the pledge of a wise and liberal policy, sd spted to the sprit of the age, and moving forward with the ad vanced footsteps of knowledge and civilization—the ren vation of our politica) institufon. and the full developemen of principles, calculated to nourish and maintain the true interests of the nation at home and abroad. And we have a right, my Lord, to look in due time for these fruits from your Administration of public affairs, for are they not the objects to which your whole life has been elevated—Nipi is not the beauty of that, life its uutarnislissl consistency. It is your glory, my Lord,Sehat in a sliding age, and amid manifold temptations, you have kept the " whin-mss of your soul"—and that the principles which a wise and ge nerous youth so warmly enforced and defended, were %UN.. taireed by the mature vigour and more enlarged wisdom of manhood, while even the winter of life has not been able to chill the warmth of these your early attachments, or im pair in the smallest degree your power of supporting thew. But lest it should be considered that my object is merely to pronounce an eulngiusn upon your Lordship's character and actions, I hasten from the gra•eful theme to offer, with tl e deepest and most sincere respect and admiration, a few upon some points of the greatest present por,arsu When your Lordship accepted office, it WIN upon the ex pre , s understanding with your Sovereign and the people, that Parliamentary Reform wad to be btought tot ward ao a Cabinet measure, and supported by all the power of Go— vernment You bare amply redeemed your p!edge Lord, to the satisfaction of the uountry and theiverlestitl K honour of your character. You have,retleemed your pledge, to the amazement of thosepraiticalstatomen, whose whole li'e his been a series of vulgar expedi,nts, to deceive the public and to explain sway those principles, which iu an unguarded moment, or in the rack enthusiaans of unrkliect lug youth, the lip had proclaimed, but in which the t hail never cordially acquiesced. Rush Darn naturally es. c aimed against the monstrous eonsistency—they suak under the conviction that here at least Was a Statiouao, who havin►; promised to bring forward► a measure of Itt form of real efficiency,lisd with an unparalleled folly realized his promise—their only hope was, Shat is this art they he held your Lordship's political suicide. Yen might have been generous, said they, without being profuse—oo mo.o i, obliged to be on ragcously honest—why nut make the ex et intent., if less would ha✓e been taken--you could have advanced in your biddinge if you found your customers dif !icult—it was your business to have di iveu as hard a bar -4,i0 u s p o ssible with the publer—to higgle Mr the odd ho iough—and to have chaffered like a Dutch merchant for he difference of the franchise. 'These were the views and sientiuteats of the enemies of Reform, deceiving and deceived—but be did the people ,eceive this great measure ? Room r were they iu session of its leading feature, the destination of the nou:i nation boroughs, and the wholesalt extension of the fran chise to the middling classes, than they welcomed it with a burst of honest and grate'nl enthusiasm from one end of the land to the other. A eentre of union, and a rallying pint were at last afforded to Reformers of all degrees of opinion--a common ground on which they could honeAly :veer, and a general fund in which to deposit their mutual differences, to be re issued in a definite and practical shape, for the common advantage. Here at last the restless foot of Reform found a firm and secure resting place, and the wild sea of speculative opinions, on which the friends of political improvement had long been test, and which had les often beheld the shipwreck of their hopes, suddenly be came tranquil, and from its untroubled depths reflected back the harmonious gratitude of an applauding nation. To h rye achieved such a consurnmatian, and to have fixed and regulated the thermometer of public opioi..re on the most delicate of questions, was in itself no mean proof of the sound discretion of the penetrating sagacity cf your Lord ship's views,and those of your Right Ilen.Colleagues, as phi losophical as well as practical statesmen, and justifies the san g ue expectations of the people of Great Britaiu, as to the important benefits y , t to be derived from your Mini. nistratioa You have been trite my Lord to the people, and they have been true to you—you disdained to delude them with a measure of mock Reform, and they have not deluded von with a mock support—may this good understanding be twixt you and them he perpetual, and all difficultly; will vanish before so holy an alliance. The people of this country are an intelligent, and therefore x grateful people_ they know their own interest, and how to value the states man who considers these with a single eye to the good of the whole—such a man they will repay with their beat 4ffeotions, and their enduring confidence—and in all his trials they will stand lay to cheer and to support him. Be then the confidence and good will of the, people my Lord, the pular star of your political chart, and you need fear neither rocks nor quicksands on your voyage. In been,vs t 1 butst fursituattihoen,firmmyneLssoro.liewutt:hug:rdaciyooaus powerfulat andar beloved iddesperate present s ale vereign, and the cordial suppo rt of the people—the coop t edn'eetmuLdsoofaßrtefuff!rlymp,raepndareedx4 by executed with so reckless a disre gard of consequences, could not hit to have overwhelmed you. But the bolt which it was expected would have struck you to the ground, may shivered to atoms the ;Nit hopes of your opponents—and now that the thunder., clouds of faction are clearing away, your Lordship's Administration stands out firmer than ever, on the strone , bases of the people's affection, and the confidence of the Sovereign. Honesty is indeed the true policy of public life as well as private ; for what motive could the people have had to come to your rescue as they have done, but that they felt their own iuterest to hnt bound up in yours; a fact deducted by them from the integrity of intention visible in the great provisions of the Bill of Reform, and which commended itself equally to their hearts and their understandings. The people of this country huvc for many years regarded with comparative Milacron* the contests of their public men far plat* and power, aware that in these they beheld, not the real conflict of opposite prin ciples, but the selfish struggle of friction, for its own sel fish and sinister purposes. From Pitt to Peel, a race of political adventurers and apostates, have, with few ex ceptions, held the reins of government, and by their inexe crahle persecution of liberty at home and abroad, to up hold the fabric of their power, have degraded the mute of English statesmen in the eyes of their country, and of all Europe. Had your Lordship brought forward a muck, or ss some would cal! it, a moderate Reform, your name and tire names of your Right Honourable Colleagues would by this time have been added to the dark catalogue to which we have alluded—and your inevitable fall have been he ' held without pity or emotion. But in you, ray Lord, your countrymen recognised the man who had dared to be honest in the worst of times—the man who would hold fast iris integrity let who would be Minister ; or however distant the vision of power might heconie—who would maintain when /it office the principles which bad so long been the cause of Iris exclusion ; and who, as first Minister of the Crown, had not hesitated to say, that in his eyes, liberty was no vain thing, and that a people could scarcely pay too dear a price for the inestimable gift. Your Lord ship and the people are as one on this point.-.the value of liberty, or which is the gams thing, of Refocus ; and there is no practical illustration of their profound appreciation of this Maxim, that, if necessary, they are sot prepared tq afford in corroboration of your Lordship's statement. Such sentiments, my Lard, separate you from the horde of vulgar statesmen—the mere tenants of place, whose history is the humbling detail o petty expediesiai for the temporary objecti of the day and the hour—men who ran never penetrate beyond the limited circle of their official labours—still grey with. intrigue," and reverend in the small circle of office, they descend to the unimpeachable obliyion which awaits them. There is a wisdom which %ewe wise, because it looks net beyond the accomplish meat of its immediate object ; but the true wisdont of a statesman, which men of all ages recognise and admire, is that which embraces the comprehensive sweep of conse quences present and remote, and which with a prescient saga city anticipates the wants of the future, from its profound appreciation of the spirit and requirements of its own age and generation. I have occupied your time, my Lord, I am afraid, very icily, as I have not t::s yet touched upon those topics; which have been the thief motives of nay addressing you at pre sent ; tha consideration of these will probably induce we to trouble your Lordship with another letter, in the mean time I remain, with the utmost respect, Your Lordship's humble and mast devoted servant, LUCIUS VERUS.
