PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. " There are no plots,- except what I°4 and cowaidiee may imagine, or a few desperate and powerless persons conceive, or wicked and paid 4,i , ,j'ectors plan. Every hour the country must more satisfied that all its alarms were ground- , teris, and that the Suspension of the Habeas Cor pus has saved nothing but the places of the most (I . .jointed, disgraced, and inefficient Administra tiwl, that ever was inflicted on a free people."— Vlorning Chro3icie, August 1.) We have selected, the foregoing passage as a specimen of Party Poison,-and without any reme dies offered at present on our part, we shall merely administer the following admirable antidote., which we hare extracted from The (Dublin) Correspondent of the 28;1) ult. - We shall administer another Pati iotic dose, from the same Constitutional Doc tor, in our next Paper CUISOItY .ItEM ARKS UPON THE TRANSACTIONS OF THE LAST SESSION OF PARLIAMENT. " The last Session, of Parliament was preceded by various predictions, an(P ushered in with no small discrepance in the hopes and expectations of 'parties. Some prognosticated that the House of Commons, would . not bc able to withstand the outrageous reclamations of the populace, for a radical change in that departMent.of the Consti tution ; o'theri thought, that some compromise would be made with what they called the prevail. popular Spirit ; many hoped, and still more feared, that the advisers of the Crown would be overpowered. by the,multitudinons embarrassments of the petiod—and all seemed to,calculate upon some changes, something temporising and experi mental, a kb the feelings and calculations belong ing to the principles and views of parties, respec tively. The lovers of Revolution dated to hope, that every thing peculiar to the ancient fabric of Enulish polity, and all the institutions and esta bl;shments co-ordinate_ with it, would yield to the popular storm, and be soon lerelletl into ruin. Their evil Prophet's promised the event—their Orators maintained it as an inevitable thing—and all their Writers laboured to promote it, by pre paring the Public to expect it. Those who were next in the scale of mischievous expectation did not desire to see so complete a subversion of the Laws, Government, and Constitution of the coun try ; but they foolishly imagined, 41tat the entire nr :chime worked ill, on account of some specific' iMperfcctimas..in its component parts, and that, by taking it asunder, and repairing what May be formd defective, the whole may be put together without any difficulty, and set inoperation, exactly . in.the mariner in which the dupes of stick visions would have it. These were actire and clamototti in their way ; and, although they were desirouS .to shew the demarcations, which 'sepa rated them in their doctrines from the root and. branch pry, who aimed at a total overthrow of the Constitution, yet they did not 'scruple to as ail themselves of as much of the zeal and fury of the most desperate, as promised to lend assist ance to their (sten projets. All the platoons and sob-divi,ions of faction, however their facings may hare differed, professed to act in a certain co opepitifor against the existing order of things; end even the Opposition, the regular, constitu tional adveisaries of the Administration, did not disdain to corptet with all those tumultuary fac t-ions, out of policy ;, to, observe neutrality _to wards the most andacious and violent ; to pick temporary fellowship with those who were next in ferocity and temerity in their schemes; and to adopt the prejudices and the ignoranees, the errors and the intemperance, of all the other fac , ions, As best suited their purposes, from , time to time—as appeared most likely to aid their po licy in exaggerating the difficulties of the occa .lteeping up the fermentation which so ; many designs and contrivances had concurred in producing in the minds of the people ; and itt en deavouring to bring about as much derangement and embarrassment, as may produce popular de losian and impetnosity—just sufficient to expel their political opponents from their places, and to open the way to their own succession. , " Amid views so various, and motives SO ur gent—a ith clamour sounding from every faction— ruin and destruction prophecying from so many quarters —a , spurious philosophy ,scattering the poisons of revolution-=-a frantic populace theta voraciously—ambitions men preparing to hazard every thing in the chaos that they were seek ing for—and an ambitious party, turning.all things to their own peculiar purposes—the Par liament assembled ; and, surely, under circum stances which may have dismayed, the stoutest spirit that ever swayed the British sceptre—under difficulties which may have appalled the firmest Cabinet that ever counselled a Soveleign. With such a Euripos of. schemes and projects, whirl iog its mischievous eddies round the base of the State, it cannot be uninteresting to run our minds over the manner in which this coothination of evils--lierved and strengthened by adventitious stinitaiants, by derangement in'commerce, disap perir;thient in finance, the expenditure of the war, the utAgnation of the, peace, an unemployed po otadtlon, and an insu ffi cient supply of food—woi way : how it was opposed, and how it ittps roUnked and compelled to retrograde. A manly, enlightened Prince- , —anhonest, faithful, and effi cient Ministry—a wise, patient, and loyal spirit among the great mass. of the people—and a firm mind and laudable zeal in the body of the Parlia spcnt--..a1l co=operating, furnished a moral power s:4cient to stay, for the time—let it be hoped lihogether—the progress of ibis portentous aggre gate of evil. "The Session commenced with a Speech from' the Throne; in which his Royal Highness the Re. lent lammed the Parliament, with' the utmost frankness, of the nature of the public difficulties — adverted to their causes, which were princi pally.ot a temporary kind—pointed to the remes d'es!avhich a little time would provide—and repro bated, in terms restrained only by the eminence of the illustrious person who was speaking, the attempts- , which had been Jamie to take advantage of the distresses ot• the country, for the purpose of exciting a spirit of sedition and violence. in such a state of things, the first step which would naturally suggest l't•elf wottld Tte, to take mea sures to frnstrate all those attempts to svnicn al lusion had been made in' the Speech from the Throne ; because, sedition and violence are so cial evils, which must alarmingly enhance the ill effects of unavoidable.misfot tune, and incommode the very best efforts of policy and wisdom, and circumscribe the sphere of their 'services. If we would abate any actual evils with which a people may be beset—or if we would render the expe dients of zeal and wisdont effective—or if we would keep in view the accomplishment of both those ends, as far as possiblc—we musl, first, take clue and proper care that sedition and violence do not _intercept our good works for tile public advan tage. These, must be suppressed, before any sa lutary energy can work ; and, therefore, it was incumbent upon the advisers of the Crown In see that so essential a preliminary measure slrould not be omitted. • - ir! Parliament addressed 'the Throne in a spirit congenial to the sentiments which they had beard delivered by the Sovereign. The ‘ opponents of the Ministry iu Parliament, however, - were re solved not to allow these useful designs to be smoothly execnted- 7 --they thought it expedient to meet the difficulties of the crisis, by discovering that certain paragraphs in two distinct Speeches, delivered by leis Royal Highness the Prince, Re gent from the Theoue, upon two different ocea sions„ were not of the same import ;—and.assum ing, that because those paragraphs 1..4 not the same tendency, his Royal Ilighuess's advisers were incompetent to their stations, they moved certain amendments to the Address, for the ob vious purpose of embarrassing theinmeasmese— Those amendments were moved by the late Mr. Ponsonby—a gentleman, 'whom it was impossible to know without esteeming, and whose sudden fate it is impossible to reflect upon. without deep regret. He was a man of a mild and amiable na ture ; but, in the course of the public life which he had elected, be found himself associreed with So many refractory spirits, that, in order to maintain any restraint over their passion for excessive poli tical enterptise, he was drawn out of thesphere which he would have willingly revolved, and obliged to go a certain length in their -erratic movements. He had a great love for the - C.4' insti- Union ; possessed a certain good breeding in de bate, which did not deduct front his vigour. He was always more plausible than convincing— scarcely ever the author of any political 'proposi tion of arty comprehensiveness or pregnancy—Was . more of the private than of the leader, in the man ner in which be acted during his Parliamentary warfare; and was, without a question, one of the best perverters of an adversary's speech that ever was in any public assembly, ancient or modern. Mr. Ponsonby's powers were not spared in sup porting the amendment to the Address which his party lead predetermined to press. He prefaced his motion with a long and a miscellaneous speech, in which he swept' together as many topics as were likely to remind the Parliament and the Nation, of every real or imaginary difficulty. He 'ranged through the circle of ; grievances ; touched many topics on his way in which he Was not praoundly informed ; and concluded with moving those amendments, with which the public .are already made acquainted. " There was no great merit in the Opposition for suggesting to the: licuse to declare, that they saw, with the deepest concern, " the continued embarrassments of our agriculture, manufactures, andeomMerce ; the alarming defleiencY of the re venue, and the unexampled and inereasing di-S -tresses of all classes of his Majesty's subjects"-- especially as the distresses were not unexampled, nor the causes of them new or unknown, upon former 'occasions, after the Nation had passed from war to peace, or froni peace- to war. In short, there was nt)thing suggested in those amendments that could he of 'lse ; nothing palpable in sob 'stance, and remedial in design ; - nothing, thd adop tion of which could afford either . benefit or re lief—and it was finite plaits, that the design with .which they were moved was, to collect together a , few notorious circumstances, prefaratory. to the favourite motion of all regular opponents, in Parliament, of the measures of Govern ment—zainely a motion for going into a Com mittee upon the State of the Nation. A motion of this sort is rarely intemied for any other i pur pose than to afford an unlimited field for opposi tion to disport its ; -a boundless ranee for attack to practice in ; for ail sorts of disputants—the .prosing calculator—the high-mettled debater—the copious harangner-s—and the frOntless vilifier of motives and measures--to act in concert. The State of the Nation, as a subject of a Parliamen tary motion, really means nothing palpable or specific. It is a mere tactical effort' of a patty, to employ all their force with effect ;—it is, more over, an opportunity for placing in a state of jnxta-position, every thing, under the popular idea of a grievance, that - industry can rake out ; anti to deceive, by placing. in a' mass, all those im perfections which are scattered over the whole surface of the public affairs. There never has been, nor will there ever be, to the day of judg ment, a nation, however prosperous, glorious, or. splendid . 'its condition, la the state of which, those, whose object it is to find causes for de jectiog representations, will not discover some thing, which, in popular prejodice, will appear to be avoidable misfortunes—such as exist, but such as the Government, it they would, may remove.—e_ Hence all disciplined opposers of Government are eternally struggling to have " the State of the Nation" brought under discussion—for, if the nation were the admiration and glory of the world, it would be an easy matter, argumenta tively, to make out, that it was deformed by the number .and severity of its ruisfortunesand sufficiently, to spread delusion and error amoug. those, who neither do nor cal think for them selves, as well as among those, whose expecta tions and interests depend upon changes in those. entrusted with power. The Opposition, however, were too much irs dread of the Reformers, to advert, in their amend ments, to that part of his Royal Highness the Prince Regent's Speech which counted upon the indignation of the House, at the attempts which had been made t• take advantage of the distresses ► of the country, for the mirpose of exciting a spirit lof sedition and violence. They did riot pledge. I themselves tst oppose the practitioners its setlitiot, nor tLe calculators upon the efficacy of violence ; they did not deprecate the abuse and theperver sion of the public distresses into means of.revolu tion and uproar—they, did not assist in giving one salutary admonition in their amendments, designed to rebuke the . enorthons speculations which were afloat, concerning the expediency of changing the Government, as well as' the social constitutibn of the country; and, for any thing they had, done, to maintain the established order of things, as a body, the Spenceans might have divided the land into agrarian minuteness, and the writers and orators of revolution have dictated a new form to the Government.. Events, however, presented an unerring commentary upon the necessity there was of the Parliament paying a prompt regard to the allusion in the Speech from the Throne, to the attempts to inculcate sedition and ,violenceamong the populace. The person of his Royal Highness the Prince Regent was assaulted, whilst returning from the exercise of his Sovereign duty, on the very day that the Opposition were pressing their amendments, to lead to an inquiry.into.the State of, the Nation. While their lips were.nttering • the language of hostility to the sentiments con. , taiiied its the Royal Speech, as well as in the Ad- dress from both. HOuses of Parliament, the despe .rate and inipat lent abettors of revolution were at.; tempting ,the most atrocious • outrage _.upon the person or the Sovereign. The Amendments were negatived in the Lords without a division ; and - the AiHress there agreed to, was adopted In the Commons withon; any dissent—the attack upon the Prince Regent having been communicated to the H ouse, and the circumstances invest.igated, to a certain degree, before the question was put upon it." from the LONDON GA7grl'l?,, Aug. 9, 1817.

Saturday night, as a. woman was bargaining for a lamb's head. at the shop of Mr. Cross, butcher, the corner of Gil bert's-passage, Clare-market, late cat the Strand, a young man, apparently a tradesman, stepped up. and said, Ma'am you had better have a calrg head, 1 can let you have one at a cheap rate;". he immediately snatched up a large knife that lay ; on the block, and before any person 'was aware of his intention, be cut his throat from ear to ear. Mr. CrOss, with the greatest promptiturie, lost no time in rendering assistance to the unfortunate young man ; he had,hiin placed on a shutter and carried into St. Clement's watch-house, which was within a dozen yards of the place,• and Mr. Can non, surgeon, of Cary-street, who was sent for, attended immediately ; the wound was very des perate, the windpipe being nearly severed ; Mr. Caimon stitched up the wound, and rendered every possible assistance. The man was an entire stranger, and unable to speak, but from some sign he made with his band, it was supposed. he wanted to write ; a pen with ink was put into his hand, and smite paper held for hint, on which, With 'much difficulty, he scrawled " George SMith, Holborn."' After the wound was dressed he was removed to the workhouse, about one hundred yards distant, and put to bed. Every attention was paid to bins, but about four o'clock in . the morning, ouperceie, ed by the nurse, he tore the bandages front off hi 4 neck, and opened the wound afresh. The alarm. was given, anti timely assistance procured ; he was quite derapged ; he made se vera l a ttempts tutea his throat, b u t was prevent e d ; it ,was found. ne cessary to Confine him in a strait-waistcoat ; two surgeons a ttended, the wounds were sewed up afresh and dressed, but from his great loss of bro od , they have no hope of 'his recovery. It ap peared' frein his handkerchief being-loose about uiSlieck at the time he committed the rash act that he came there prepared for the purpose ; a m essenger was dispatch to Smart's-buildings, Where it was ascertained ;that he was a single map, 22 years of age, and resided With his mothei-, whose sole support be was.
