N - OTICE is hereby given to all Persons de sirous of contracting to supply- the following Arti -sles for the Use of the Army, viz. BREAD, . To his Majesty's Land Forces in Cantonments, Quarters, and Barracks, in the under-nnentioned Counties and ' Islands:-- Bedford !Gloucester (includ.

It is easy for ore who is no Statesman to obtain popularity for a moment by false pretences, but the history of the world sbowa that such fraudulent pulley gensrally terminates in 3barne and confusion. r, was through this sort of policy that Poland I'M been sacrificed, Belgium led into, perhaps, inextri cable difficulties, and the power of the Holy Alli ance raised to a greater pitch of insolence on the Continent than it ever was since the overthrow of the empire of Napoleon.—Morning Herald. 3 (No. 12,322.) ' f lieved many were restrained by fear, and hoped that a gc?o,l effect would speedily be produced from the encotiragem_e4.4e held.out to induce them to return. That of course on many properties, where the greatest outrages had been perpetra.;;;i, the negroes would not immediately come in, but the 31m:9m, and a party of riflemen would continue to harass them. : Captain Galloway, of the 3ikl Regiment, reports fronv- . mi estate called Lapland, that he had rescued a brown lr!cly„apd her three daughters on an estate called Belmont; thelusil44 ings had been burnt, and these ladies kept in the greatest terror. At Marchtnont also he rescued a Mrs. Holmes, and several other ladies and children. Mr. Holmes, the proprietor of the estate, had been murdered on Sunday. Captain Gal. loway speaks of Mr. Holmes's murder as having been attended with great cruelty. By the confession of one of the negroes concerned (lately received) it appears that the murder of the women had been in contemplation, and that of the male chil dren was to have taken place on the evening of the day they were rescued. Colonel Grignon reports having sent a party to Marchmonton a similar service, under the command of Captain King; and on his return, at an angle of the road, near a property called lie. trieve, the advanced guard was fired upon by several of the rebels from the negro houses belonging to Mr. Floyd. The el. tack continued fora short time after the main body, came up and were formed, butthe rebels were speedily driven from the negro houses. Captain King could not ascertain what number among them were killed or wounded, In this affair he Issat two men killed and two wounded. Notwithstanding these atrocities I had the satisfaction to learn, by various accounts, and those confirmed by Sir Wit. loughby Cotton, that from the general appearance of the state of affairs throughout that district hopes • were entertained of returning tranquillity. A great inconvenience now- pres.entf ittittltfroOf overseers and bookkeepers of the various prop,,,:s being all serving with the militia. Sir Willoughiri Cotton, with great propriety, suggests that some relaxation of the mi litia law should be made in their favour, as in their absence it will be impossible to reduce the negroes on the various estates to order. (PRICE 7D.) The question of Irish tithes occupied the attention of both Houses on Thursday night. Ireland cannot now complain that her affairs arc neglected. While the politics of England seem almost narrowed to the consideration of a single Bill, Ireland can boast a large supply of debateable topics, both in Church and State, which are never even alluded to without giving rise to protracted discussion. The debates of last night will be read with great interest, especially that which took place in the House of Lords, where, as will be seen from our report, the Bishops themselves are in favour of the course which has been adopted by his Majesty's Ministers. We have only room, in consequence of the space occupied by these important discus. sions, to refer our readers to the speeches of the Duke of Wel. lington and the Earl of Eldon, as eminently characteristic ; the one calling for increased powers, the other portending ruin from change. The result of both debates agrees with the ge. neral tenour of the evidence which pronounces the tithe system in Ireland at an end._. Morning Herald. The second reading of Mr. Sadler's Bill to regulate infant la. bour in factories was to have been moved on Thursday evening, but was postponed to Friday next, at the solicitation of Ministers. The object of the Bill is to abolish a system of Want-slaPerl,,, destructive of the health, the morals, and the comforts of the children of the poor, and to interpose the protecting power of the law between an oppressive cupidity and its helpless sictiuls. The object of the Bill is, consequently, not more consistent with the dictates of benevolence than the duties of sound policy ; for whatever deteriorates any portion of the people physically arid morally is so far an injury to the State—a national nuisance. and ought to he abated. The proof of physical deterioration presents itself to every eye in the squalid, dwarfish, diseased population, that survive the early drudgery of the factories, linger through an existence which never attains, as has beer ; truly said, to "full life," because of the unnatural pressure c, the youthful system, which, at the period when moderate axe,. cise, mingled with cheerful recreation, would develope and strengthen the bodily p6wers produces prep:attire and cur,temda._ attached, to be Lieutenant-Colonel, vice W.

UNATTACHED. cause is " agitation," and that there will always be disturbance until agitation be put a❑ end to ! Did it ever occur to the Noble Duke to inquire what was the cause of the agitation itself? Before the Ca tholics were emancipated, Ireland was in perpetual disturbance—that disturbance his Grace must, with his characteristic acuteness, have observed, arose from agitation ; and " suiting the action to the word," his Grace resolved to put down the agita- ried. The Ministers having by timidity or trot:fiery be come objects of public execration, the Tories will walk quietly into their places, get up a snug war with France, and place this country under a Military Government.— That such are the present hopes of the influential Tories, and that such hopes rest on a seeming safe foundation, is most certain. Knowing this, lam ready to sink into desp.iir; but I rouse myself and say it is not possible that Earl Grey, when he said that he would bring in a second Reform Bill as efficient as the former, could mean to de lude the country by truly bringing in a Bill that appeare to redeem his pledge fully, but at the same time intending that it should not pass; and such must have been his in tentions, if he resolved to resist the only measure that could enable him to carry it—the creation of Peers." tion. He did so—and how ? Was it by coercion ? No; his Grace knew better. He put an end to the penal laws; and the Catholic Association, by which Ireland had been agitated from north to south, was dilpersed in a moment. If Ministers, then, view ing the agitation produced by tithes, shall borrow a leaf out of the Duke's own book, and abolish the penal law of tithe, will not his Grace have some fellow-feeling for them ?—Times. • OATS, To his Majesty's Cavalry and Artillery Horses in Canton ments, and Quarters, in the under-mentioned Counties : -- Bedford Gloucester (includ-) Northumberland Berks (including the ing the city of Bris.: Nottingham town of Hunger- tol) Oxford ford) Hants and I cle of Rutland Berwick Wight • Salop Bucks Hereford .

To the evidence of common observation, medical men have added the testimony of science, as to the influence of thi« slavish toil, and the want of sufficient rest and youthful pAi• time, in subjecting the human frame to habitual weakness, dis, ease, or deformity. Thus occupied as the time of the chil. dren is, in severe and distressing labour-14, 16, sometimes iii hours, almost without intermission—it is quite evident that there is no opportunity of receiving moral or intellectual in struction. It would, perhaps, be cruel to inflict any mental labour upon them during their brief hours of remission from toil, which are necessary for repose, and during which they must he in a state of most enfeebled lassitude. It surely is not the policy of any State to allow any portion of its people to be brought up in such a state of physical infirmity and moral de. gradation. Mr. Sadler's Bill proposes to cure the main evils of this system by a reasonable limitation of labour to ten hours, This is quite enough for any purpose which does not partake of the spirit of the oppression which the children of Israel suc. fered under their task.rnasters of Egypt. The masters call out for 1:2 hours; if so, we say, let there be two distinct set, of children to work out that time at six hours each—lierald. Mr. Panton, a gentleman whose name I mentioned in my former despatch (lath of January), called on me on Friday last, and informed me that no doubt remains that the plan of insur rection among the negroes had long been meditated ; that on pursuing those who had absconded to the woods in the neigh bourhood of Manchioneal, in the parish of Portland, thirty-one houses were found by the Maroons completely ready for occu pation, and these placed in such deep recesses of the wood as might probably have long escaped attention. Although all was tranquil in that parish at the period, I caused his Majesty's Proclamation to be issued, and nothing more than the excite ment usual among slaves at that period of the year had mani fested itself ; yet upon its being read on the Sunday follow ing in Manchioneal, the slaves treated it with marked con tumely and derision. Accounts from Major-General Cox, dated the 14th instant, were received yesterday, stating that a numerous gang of the negroes on an estate called Unity Valley (but marked Haw thorn's in Robertson's map), at the south-eastern end of St. Ann's, had refused to work, and otherwise manifested insub ordination. He had sent a detachment of the St. Ann's regi. ment to that estate, under the command of Major Hamilton, and one example had been made of a ringleader. This part of the island had hitherto enjoyed the greatest tranquillity, and, therefore, such information was quite unexpected. I immedi. ately caused two companies of the St. Catherine's militia, under the command of Colonel Archer, to march from this town to that neighbourhood, in the hope thereby of overawing any further mischief. The information I have received from Sir Willoughby Cot ton, as well as the Custos of Saint James's, leads me to hope that, with the exception of some of the ringleaders and princi pal offenders, it will not be long before the great body of the negroes may be induced to return to the estates and resume their labours. He reports to me that he is now obtaining information of the different slaves who are absent, in order that rewards may be offered for the apprehension of the ringleaders. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) DELMORE. Right Hook Viscount Goderich, gre. Bre.

SUPPLEMENT to the LONDON GAZETTE. COLONIAL DEPARTMENT. Downing-street, March 9, 11,32. The following communication from the Governor of Jamaica has been received at this office : King's House, Jamaica, Jan. 16, 16132. MY Loan,—l have the honour to continue my narrative of the proceedings which have taken place since my last despatch. I then transmitted to your Lordship the copy of a letter from the Custos of Falmouth, in which he stated that a person of the name of Box (who I then imagined belonged to the Baptist Society, but since have learned is a Wesleyan missionary) had escaped from Falmouth, and I also informed your Lordship I had caused him to be detained here, waiting for further infor mation. Finding, from the reply I received from the Custodes, that there was no substantial charge against him, I caused him to be immediately liberated. Sir W. Cotton, in a despatch of the Bth inst., stated that from all the accounts he had received he thought he could assure me that the neck of this widely spread and organized insurrection was broken; that the negroes, although in diffe rent places, were continually moving about, without any fixed plan. Sir W. added that the Militia Regiments of Hanover, Westmoreland, St. Ann's, St. James's, and Trelawney, met his wishes with alacrity upon all occasions, and that he was highly satisfied. Major-General Robertson transmits a Report (6th January) stating that he had sent troops to prevent the rebels escaping by the Maroon Tract into Mile Gully. A detachment of the Manchester Regiment had visited Spur Tree and the neigh. bourhood, which were in a state of insubordination ; many negroes were taken in the act of rebellion, and four of the ringleaders were shot. A despatch (7th January) from Sir Willoughby Cotton states that he had visited several estates, and reconnoitred those posts which were stated to be occupied by the rebels, some of whom had surrendered themsmselves, but the greater number had retired to fastnesses in the mountains, where it would be impossible to follow them without very great loss. The Commander-in-Chief had established a strong post in a mountainous position, which effectually overawed those in surgents. He states that General Robertson, Col. Williams, and Colonel Campbell, were all at their posts, hut complains of the officers commanding the Trelawney Regiment having ne glected his orders. The Major-General mentions that the rebels had endea voured to destroy the road of communication between Montego Bay and I.ucea, which he had ordered to be re-established; that Mr. Beaumont, a Member of Assembly, and whom he states to have been exceedingly useful and active, had brought in fifty negroes, who were of the greatest use in removing trees and abbatis which the insurgents had thrown across the road leading to Catadupa ; that on his arrival there, in searching the huts, he found several muskets and a considerable quantity of gunpowder. The overseer of the property of Mocho was found wounded in a cave, where he had been left as dead, and his brother murdered. The Maroons were behaving remarkably well, and the Militia daily gaining confidence in their own effi ciency. A letter from a Major of the Hanover Regiment, dated the9th inst., stated that flint River, Trial, and Orchard Estates, in Hanover, were destroyed, and that five fires were then burn ing on the mountains, at thcback of the town of Lucea. The head driver at Trial, who endeavoured to protect his master's property, was shot by the rebels two notorious villians had been taken in arms, and one found burning a house. They were tried, found guilty, and hanged. Sir Willoughby Cotton laments the necessity of these ex amples, but he considered them indispensable. All minor offences the Court-Martial was to visit by corporal punishment. A party of the St. James's Regiment were attacked at An. chovy Bottom by a body of armed and other negroes ; the officer instantly drove them before him, and killed the chief; who was dressed in uniform, and eight rebels. The number of slaves in this parish is stated at 25,000, including women and children, one half of whom were out, dispersed in various di rections ; numbers, however, were hourly returning. Major-General Crawford reports (January 11) his detachment having visited Bull Head, Hopeton, and Kingsland, in Man_ chester, which properties were in a state of rebellion ; that six of the insurgents were supposed to have been killed in action, and two of the ringleaders taken, and subsequently shot, which had the instant effect of restoring order. A despatch from Sir Willoughby Cotton (January 11) states that the post of Vaughansfield had been occupied without oppo_ Bition, that the Maroons had been sent to reconnoitre the chain of the Cockpits, a remarkably strong post, where the Maroons had long maintained themselves during the Maroon war. That he in person had visited a great number of estates, and explained .to the negroes he found upon them the nature of the Procla mations which had been issued, and he believed with effect. That upon other estates, where f ew s l av e, had come in, he be- SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Nothing can be more illustrative of the difficulty of making laws for Ireland than the opposite con structions whiCh have been put (and in almost every instance by well-meaning men) upon the measure about to be brought forward by his Ma jesty's Ministers for the settlement of the tithe question. Settled, indeed, we are sorry to say, it cannot be by the law now on the point of being in troduced, if the law be framed in precise conformity with the resolutions of Lord - Lansdowne; because, no arrangement can be durable or final which limits its provisions to the interest of the Established clergy, and leaves out of the question that of the Catholic priesthood and of the helpless poor. In reading over the debates of the two Houses on Thursday evening, it is impossible not to be struck by the analogy between the parties within the walls of Parliament, and those which agitate and distract the wretched country which furnished the subject matter of Lord Lansdowne's arid Mr. Stanley's propositions. On one side were the Duke of Wel lington and Lord Eldon, ringing the changes on agitation, spoliation of Church property, &e. ; while on the other Messrs. Shell, Grattan, and others, were vehement in their denunciation of the plan of Ministers, on account of its threatening to coerce the people into a payment of the arrears of tithe. There is as much unfairness in this last attempt to throw blame upon the Government for its resolution to vindicate the law as it at present stands, and to claim the arrears due by those who have dis obeyed it, as there is a folly in the assumption, that if the tithe be but meddled with, the Church is of necessity " despoiled." All are agreed that the existing clergy ought not to be stripped of their in comes : it follows, therefore, that they must be in demnified for their arrears of tithe. But then comes the objection of the anti-churchmen. " Although we do not oppose your intention of paying these distressed gentlemen (what is due to them from their parishioners) out of the Consolidated Fund, you must not think of assigning over their right of recovering such arrears of tithe to the Crown — you must not dare to exercise such a right, even though it be to replace the sums which with our consent you dole out to the clergy ; that is coercion, and the Irish must never be coerced." Now we have not skulked from declaring our own opinion that tithes must at once be got rid of. It is the worst mode possible by which the clergy can be maintained, for it is that which, of all others, tends to their unpopularity with the Irish (and, in deed, with the English) people. But if the arrears due to these unfortunate clergymen are to be paid out of the Consolidated Fund, we should like to learn front what source the Consolidated Fnnd itself is to be indemnified ? Must a new tax be imposed to supply the loss ? If so, the unoffending body of tax-payers, who are guilty of no wrong, will have to pay the tithe of the parochial defaulters. Is it not more just and upright to insist on the recovery of tithe-artear from those who have illegally with• held it, than to saddle the community with a fresh tax for their especial benefit ? This is obviously quite distinct from the question whe ther tithe ought not in future to be abolished. If, however, the specific plan to be recommended by Ministers shall contemplate nothing beyond the maintenance of the Established Church, we fear that they lay the ground-work of incalculable discontent and trouble. The abolition of tithe will go but a little way towards the satisfaction of the people of Ireland, if a substitute for tithe, applicable exclu sively to the same invidious end, viz., the subsistence of an alien priesthood, should be the immediate con sequence. Of the Catholic part of the Irish nation, the sagacious will not be caught, nor the restless tamed, by any such expedient. They will regard it hut as tithe under another name, and it will be come a similar pretext for the machinations of the demagogues. We are aware of the difficulties now pressing on Ministers from various sides, and deterring them naturally from an encounter with the whole of this arduous question ; but the day will come, and it approaches rapidly, when the relation of the Government towards other Churches, besides that of the existing Establishment, and to the poorer classes of its subjects likewise, must be finally fixed. As for his Grace the Duke of Wellington's theory, upon the cause of these national disturbances, and their remedy, it has the merit at least of being simple. His Grace assures Parliament that the It was to be expected that our articles of Wednesday and Thursday last, in relation to the supposed prospects of the Re. form Bill, would bring forth a great deal of querulous re. monstrance on behalf of personages whom, on the whole, we are far more inclined to treat as objects of respect and confi dence than of censure. In representing our expressions, how. ever, the volunteer defenders of Lord Grey's understood policy would have served his Lordship better, had they confined their justification to those topics on which we had declared our fears that he might really stand in need of it. We have never de. scribed Lord Grey to be " wanting in all the qualities necessary to the Prime Minister of a country like this." Let his advocates who have raised the phantom, lay it at their leisure. We never spoke at all of Lord Grey's bsing "forced out of afficc, , ar thought of his resignation, but as a subject of the deepest alarm. He alone can expel himself from office. Our great object was to impress upon his Lordship and on the people the dreadful calamities which must result from the failure of the Reform Bill; of which calamities, the first, though assuredly not the last, would be Lord Grey's downfall. But if Lord Grey have not the moral courage to adopt such means as are in his power, and as are likewise essential to the success of Reform, then, and then only, do we agree that it would be infinitely more desirable for his Lordship to resign at once, in favour of some less timid and hesitating statesman, than to wait until after the actual miscarriage of the Bill, when his successor must be chosen not by him, and from among the reforming ranks, but from those of the enemy, and in spite of him. Is this hostility to Lord Grey ? No, but honest devotion to that cause on the success of which his Lordship has staked his political reputation and existence, but from which cause in its immortal triumph over corruption, our anxious and earnest hope still is that the name of Grey may be inseparable. It is not true that we "insinuate distrust" of Lord Grey ; we have declared, with. out circumlocution, our distrust of the efficacy of the means which he proposes. As for the charge of " vanity" against us— which is a pitiful retort—what shadow of ground can be shown for it in this our painful effort to compel the performance of other men's duties, that they, not we, may be shielded from eventual disgrace ? As for " jealousy" of Lord Grey ! how, in the name of wonder, can such a chimera visit the brain of his advocate ? An obscure private gentleman, a humble jour. nalist, jealous of a first Lord of the Treasury ! Again, it is from "treachery" we have admonished the Noble Earl. Is our counsel fitted to promote the success of the Bill, or to defeat it ? Answer us that. Then let the blame' of "treachery" rest on him who offers, or eagerly grasps at, advice, by which the public cause must, ere long, be abandoned to the mercy of its bitterest assailants, or the final decision be transferred from the floor of Parliament to the field of battle. We are told that when Lord Grey shall really " connive at the mu tilation of the Bill, or enter into any disgraceful com promise of its principles," that in that case certain persons will be among the first to condemn him as unworthy of public confidence ; but till then, that they will not shrink from giving him their most zealous and steady support. Now we waive all question of comparison between the zeal and steadi ness, and efficacy of support, which it may have been our for. tune to afford Lord Grey's Administration since its first instal. mcnt in office, and the assistance which it has received from other quarters ; but as to Lord Grey's connivance at the muti lation of the Bill being the condition on which Reformers were confessedly justified in withdrawing their support from him, we shall say thus much,—Lord Grey has been engaged in confidential communications with sworn and irreconcile able opponents of his own Reform Bill, nor do we question his right of so communicating ; but when it is gene. rally known, on one hand, that the plan of Tory operation announced, without disguise, to Lord Grey, is to let the Bill be read a second time, for the sake—first, of avoiding the odium which would accrue to the Tory party by their rejecting the principle of Reform ; second, for the sake of enabling them to work the destruction of the Bill more effectually by extirpating every mite rf it, most popular and essential provisions ; and when, as is acknowledged—nay, boasted of by Lord Grey's ad. vocate—there is to be no creation of Peers, until after the whole damage projected for the Committee shall have . been accom plished—we ask (although deliberate Connivance may be out of the question for a man of Lord Grey's known honour), will not all the effects of the most wanton and iniquitous connivance be produced ? They talk of making Peers in time Par bringing up the report of the Committee, and so re. storing the eradicated clauses. But can the choice of such a time have been seriously reflected on by the Noble Chief of the Cabinet ? Is he prepared to yield such tremendous vantage-ground to the enemy ? Is he blind to the enormous accession of encouragement, ascendancy, and power, which must result to the Anti. Reform faction from a series of victories over the most important principles of the Bill, gained night after night by repeated majorities of the Tory Peerage ? Is not the preference of remedy to pre. vention in such a case equivalent to the fabrication of diffi. culties for the pleasure or glory of overcoming them ? What is it but unhinging the whole mechanism of national confidence, alacrity, and comfort, for the sake of striving to repair it in the midst of confusion and dismay ? After the Lords shall have actually thrown out the Anti- Tory clauses— the metropolitan clauses, the equality of household franchise, and the county vote of town freeholders,.—after, besides, they shall have restored the second Representative to all the raise. table boroughs of schedule B, and deprived the lesser towns in schedule D of their franchises—is it not obvious that many half-reform Lords, arguing with no mean portion of lordly plausibility, will say, " The House is so pledged to these great changes in the Bill, that although we voted against them, and with Ministers in the Committee, note that they are carried, it would be childish to disturb them ; so that, on the report, we shall deem it our duty to oppose the :Ministers, and defend the alterations?" What, then, is the consequence? Why that many supporters of Government in the Committee will, from motives of alleged decency, turn against them on the report, and thus compel Lord Grey to make 100 new Peers instead of perhaps 40 or 50, who might suffice were the creation to take place im mediately after the third reading of the Bill in the House of Commons ! We, therefore, who cannot flatter Lord Grey, do supplicate and conjure him, by his natural zeal for his own Reform,—by his predilection for a moderate, over an inordinate addition to the Peerage,—by his value for the unaltered love and veneration of his countrymen, and, finally, by the confidence with which at such a time as this it is his bounden duty, apart from all considerations of personal interest, to inspire the people of England in the resolution, decision, and stability of the ex isting Government, to do boldly and speedily what must be done at last, but what will lose somewhat of inherent advantage with the delay of each passing hour. If this be the language of jealousy or treason, let the present race of mankind judge; for sure we are, that if Lord Grey so regards it, posterity will take' hut little trouble about his Lordship's reputation.—Tinos. As the period approaches for the introduction of the Reform 13111 into the House of Lords the public anxiety naturally increases. Though not without our apprehensions (and how many accidents may nfluence the result!), being unwilling to say any thing at all calculated to shake the public confidence in Ministers, we have remained silent on the subject of the means to be adopted by them for carrying the great measure of national regeneration in a hostile Aisembly. We have taken it for granted that Earl Grey, after the lesson which he already received, will no longer attempt to cut blocks with razors— that he will not incur the contempt of the present and every succeeding generation, nor abandon his country to the calamitous consequences which would necessarily flow from a second r4-jection. An esteemed Correspondent, who does not seem to share our confidence in Earl Grey, writes to us that— " At pres en t h o p e and fear alteraat e ly g o vern th e anti cipations Of the Reformers. At such a moment (he says) it may be useful to know what is going forward in the enemy's camp. It is not only lawful to gather instruction from the enemies of Reform, but becomes a duty to make public th e i r h opes an d i ntent i ons, i n or d er t o d e f ea t, ;f possible, their machinations. I therefore, awe, without fear of contradiction, that the most influential of the moderate Anti-.reformers say, they will allow Ministers to have a majo r ity on th e seco nd r e ading of the Bill, amounting t o near l y t hi rty , i nc l u di ng P ro xies; that on this condition Earl Grey has agreed to abstain from en larging the P eerage, a l t h oug h presse d by his best friends to create a sufficient number to ensure the safety of the Bill. The Anti-Reformers thus c onfidently hope to Burhe the Bill in Committee, by depriving it of its most popular clauses ; and th us th e y w ill turn the tide of public indignation against its authors, who declined the only in n anti by Which they must have known it would be car; " And now (says the reviewer) we must address a few words to a party which seem to have of late separated themselves in some degree from the Anti. Reformers, and whom we hope we may venture without offence, and fur want of a better word, to call the Wartrers. Those Nohlemen and gentlemen are, generally speaking, nearly as adverse to the Reform Bill as the steadiest of the Anti- Reformers ; they dislike its principle—they detest some of its details—and if they do not look to its consequences with quite the same despair, they at 1:: :.tat. contemplate them with the same painful alarm. Yet still they are in clined to submit to what they consider an inevitable ne cessity, and to give the Bill a trial, by advocating, or at least consenting to its receiving, a second reading in the House of Lords. This course, as far as we can under stand, is grounded by its advocates on that kind of expedi ency which men of timid tempers call moral necessity: they allege that they have no option ; that by letting the Bill go to a second reading they have a chance of extracting from it some of its fatal provisions; and that if they should fail in this, they still may reject it on the third reading. This alleged necessity they infer, we are told, from the supposed fact that the King has consented to per mit hes Ministers to make as many Peers as may be neces sary to carry the Bill—' so that (say the Waverers) not only will our opposition be unavailing, but it wilt have caused so fatal a breach in the Constitution as the creation of a mass of Peers to overwhelm the sentiments of the ex isting Ifotiaz.' Now, to us it appears that this argument is pusillanimous, and unbecoming men of honour ; im moral, and unbecoming men of conscience; and illogical, and unbecoming men of sense. We reply to it, in the first place, that we will not, cannot, believe that the King, or even his Ministers, could be brought to so desperate a step—a step that, even in the opinion of the Waverers themselves, would be a death-blow to the Constitution. But, we ask, how long has it been a law of the Court of Honour, that the menace of an insult or an injury is to induce the person threatened to be injured or insulted to submit quietly to the wrong, and save their adversari.-s the trouble and disgrace of perpetrating it? . „ . Is it certain that the Ministry will dare to create these oc casional Peers? or, if they do, it it calculated how the House at large—how even some of the Reformers in either House—may be affected by such a measure? We have to much reliance on the honour and spirit of the Peerage, as to believe that such an attempt would probably produce a vast revulsion—that for every ten Peers so created, twenty of the ancient Nobles would secede, and that the rest would show such a spirit of discontent and disappro bation, that no Minister, even though bolder and more reckless than we believe the present unprincipled Govern ment to be, would venture on so desperate a career—con• vinced, as we are, that no King would sanction it." What a satire on Reforming Peers, to suppose that if Ministers took a step which, by the showing of this Reviewer, is essentially necessary to the car rying of the Bill, they would turn against them ! We say boldly that such a seceding from the na tional cause would produce a separation between the Peerage and the nation never to be healed. To delay Reform by means calculated to destroy all con fidence in the Peerage would never ersect the object. the Peers, who should thus sacrifice the people to their own vain glory had in view, Such a course would not be displaying courage, but the foolhardi ness of insanity. But in the above passage our readers will have remarked, that the Waverers count on destroying the Bill on the third reading, if they have not destroyed it before. What security have Ministers that they will net at the very last moment do their utmost to destroy a Bill, which they sups pose would destroy the corruption in which they live, move, and have their being? Who would rely ott a victory to be achieved by the consent of this enemy ? Beware of the Waverers ; they may be fi m when Ministers least think of it. No, we can not think so poorly of Earl Grey, as that he will thus allow himself to fall into art obvious snare.— .Morning Chronicle. In reference to the French expedition to Ancona an Evening Paper—the Courier—has the following passage, which it gives upon the authority of a letter from Paris :—" The great leading Powers (says our authority), clearly understand that the maintenance of Casimir Perier's Ministry is essential to the peace of Europe, and that, surrounded as it is with many enemies, it is necessary to do something to control the national feeling. The French expedition to Ancona will, it is thought, do this, by flattering the French nation, as it will, at all events, have some weight in Italian affairs. The smallness of the num. her of French troops cannot give cause of jealousy to Austria; and it is observed that as the French Ministry will, in all probability, be strongly attacked on the foreign Budget, it was requisite to have some popular feature on the side of the Minister." This statement, whether true or false, evidently .;- , ones from a quarter friendly to Casimir Perier's Adminis tration;and,iftrue,what doesit amount to? Only to this, that Casimir Perier, as we have more than once, from the evidence of circumstances known to all the world, declared, has an understanding with the Holy Alliance to conduct the Government of revolution ised France on principles of which the despotic dic tators of Europe can approve, and which principles mu , t be, of necessity, hostile to the liberties and civil prosperity of France, as well as to the inde pendence of nations, and the progress of political im provement throughout the civilized world. Only think, reader, what would have been the condition of England if the Ministry of William 111. had so stulted the principles of the Revolution of 1688 as to have conducted the. affairs of this country in timid and abject subserviency to the then great despotic Powers of the Continent. Then would Louis XIV. have realised his dream of universal Monarchy, for he would have been left at liberty, as the Emperor of Russia is now, to crush the free States of Europe, while the British lion crouched at his feet, and no vindicator of the honour of England and the rights of nations would have wielded the thunders which scared his criminal ambition, and crushed his guilty pro jects on the fields of 131enheira and Malplaquet. For tunately for England and the world, this country had not then a Casimir-Perier Administration. The system of " peace at any price" is precisely the sys tem that encourages insult and invites aggression. Mr. Canning was aware c,f that when he used the language of salutowy intimidation to the Holy Alli ance, instead of bribing Russia with somc millions of English money to be pleased not to disturb the peace of Europe. But Casimir Perier does not think it prudent, it appears, to he the avowed agent or tool of the despots whom he courts. He wants a " popular feature" to his Administration, and, therefore, he obtains permission from the despotic Powers to send a military force to Italy, pretending to the French people that it is to be a check upon the Austrians, but assuring the Austrians that it is to co-operate with them in setting tip the arbi trary authority of the Pope. This is not governing a nation by either wisdom or policy, but by that. low cunning, trickery, and mere deception, which The question of the Glove Trade was yesterday brought before the House of Lords by Lord STRANGFORD, in a very able, elaborate, and con clusive speech. The arguments employed by the Noble Viscount, and the facts which he stated in proof of the unpreceden•ed distress now afflicting that branch of our manufacturing industry, must make their due impression upon the hearts and upon the minds of all men, excepting the professors of political economy. But this vain science, to which our present Ministers are so blindly attached, appears to render its disciples callous to the ordinary feelings of humanity. If, according to the theories on which they pride themselves, any trade or ma nufacture ought to thrive, they refuse to look fur= Cher. Satisfied with the conclusion to which their theoretical reasoning leads them, they resolutely shut their eyes to its practical refutation. When the fact of the distress that exists is forced upon them, they either deny it, or contend that sufficient time has not yet elapsed for the benefits of their system to develope themselves." Wait," say they to the ruined manufacturer, and starving artisan, " wait, and you will soon experience the happy re sults that must ultimately arise from the plan upon which we are acting." Our manufacturers arid traders have waited, and year after year they find their situation growing worse and worse. Aver), if inquiry ho granted, as in the recent case of the silk trade, it is granted avowedly for the purpose of taking advantage of the opportunity to aggravate the cause of the distress,by reducing still furthee the duties on importation. As regards the glove trade, on the other hand, all inquiry is obstinately refused, though :t is certain that there never was a case more impe ratively calling for it. Such is the pertinacity in error, the injustice, and the inconsistency, of pc lineal economists, and of a Whig Reforming Go vernment. They who profess to be, par e.reellence, the friends of the people and the guardians of their interests, are the very men who refuse to advance one step, or to concede a single point, when the im poverished and degraded condition of large classes of their industrious fellow-countrymen is brought under their consideration. The people must nst length open their eyes to the true character of tile philosophers who have unfortunately established themselves fora time at the head of affairs. They are men of high-sounding doctrines, but not of sense or judgment ; of great promises, but of no perform ance that tends to good. Their quack nostrums in matters of trade and commerce are precisely of the same quality as their great quack nostrum of Be form. All are on the same level of utility, The theories they have been pleased to adopt leed them to judge that the glove trade and ti.e silk trade ought to be in a flourishing con dition; practice, however, proves the reverse. In the same manner they attempt to show by theory that the ancient British Constitution is faulty in all its parts, and is utterly unsuitable to the country, though it has, in practice, raised us in power and glory above all other nations in the world. Is modern philosophy, in its application to the Government of a great empire such as this, more likely to prove beneficial and successful than in its application to the affaits of trade and c tmmerce it may be said that the system to which we trace the depression of the manufacturing inttre-ts origi fluted with a farmer Administration. Strictly speak. ins, this is true ; but it was forced upon them by the Whig party, and was in effect the work of a Whig Member of the Government. Looking, moreover, to the present time, we find the Tory party—they who are stigmatised as the borough mongering oppressors of the people—urging the ne cessity of that inquiry into the real grievances of the people which a self-styled Liheial Mi nictry is stedfast in refusing.—As regards the question of the glove trade, we must notice one argument of the economists on which they appeat mainly to rely. The quantity of skins imported has increased, and therefore, they contend, the glove manufacture must be in a state of ineteas,d acti. vity. Now this argument assumes that all the skies imported are employed in the glove trade, than which no assumption could be more tenacious. Without enumerating the multiplicity of articles in which these skins are used, we will mention one in particular which will come home at once to the apprehension of the M nistry. We allude to the bags in which official despatches are conveyed. The endless and unwearied diplomacy of the present Government must have effected an immense CoQ.' sumption in this way ; and, since the Belgian Treaty has engaged their attention, whole hecatombs of sheep must have been sacrificed as propitiatory offerings to Russia, Austria, and Prussia. In con elusion, we earnestly invite attention to the excel lent speech of Lord Strangford, and to the subse quent observations of the nuke of Wellington, set ting forth as they do the merits of the question in the strongest light.
