Several other gentlemen spoke on the subject ;

From Lut’d,n Paper*,
Lonpon, December ?5.
Trobabte ifulc "f part it* on the. opening of Pat tin
nurt.
So much b is been lately said upoti the eof
the ( ahinet, th it it ap;-e irs imnee.-ssiiry end impos
sible to .id I any thing farther. Tile whole conduct
»nd issue of government, nr wh it is the same thing
amongst iis,nl adminislialion, depend so entirely up
•n the relative strength of the rhA-rent parties in
parliament, that this su' jeet ran not he ton cleinlv
•xp] nned. It is not oiten tli.it our history presents
the spectacles of parties so equally balanced, For
* long series of years the minority has been con
temptible, and the treasury h is had little difficulty
to support itself on its own feet. This ordpr of
things is now changed. F.ven the treasury, as it
were, that is to say, the hitherto fast interests and
ronn-ctii os of government, those which adhered to
It til every change, and pointed to it under every
Variation of the political wind, this interest and
tiles-* connections are now divided against theiu
»elvts. Lord Grenville is at the feet of the king,
and lord Castlereagh has resigned.
In the ensuing .-neeling of parliament four par
ties will not fail to ;hew themselves, and each of
tin .11 Iroin the lute c-venls, will possess a strength
end influence which did not hitherto belong to
tl-em, and which nothing could have given but the
distractions of the cabinet aud the indignant neu
trality of the people.
The party first in order, and in apparent strength,
is that of the ministry headed hy marquis Welles
ley. on 1 marshalled .md disciplined by Mr. Perct
Val and lord Liverpool. This party, for so it must
be railed, will now present a new spectacle. From
£ vaiy natural leehng, every prior minister has beeu
reluctant in obtruding on the publick eve his own
ferulmr force, the household and treasury body.—
le ^j», accordingly, generally contrived so to mix
lirein with auxiliaries, and mercenaries, and his
•wu immediate .personal dependants and cnnnerti
#n3, that the grossness and prominence of their
characteristic distinction 1ms been lost in the crowd ;
•ltd though every one knew that the greater part of
bis efficient army consisted of these household
(maps, iio on - could point them cml in group** and
horlr », Under Mr. Percival the country will now
have a new spectacle. Since his separation from
lit. Canning, he has been deserter! by almost all
except these retainers of the treasury. He is left
•surety to tbe household body guard. In bis very
£ .
lint division the ifreogA of A* court oratt U tetri,
•nd for ihe fafciiine lor these hundred year* ranv
U* couuted pi^und Unnnxed w the body of the
boose. The nmrquis Wellesley indeed; by nw«ns
of bi* recently ariptired wealth and former Indian
patronage, may rouot about it dozen bead* which
l •long to bun m the political pen, hr.f with l.'.t
siogfe exception of the marquis, there is not another
(nan in the present ministry of any romjderahle
boreugli influence or personal parliamentary con
nection, In saying this we speak only ns to fan.
and without any intention of reproach or detraction
towards such estimable eharac ters as we arkuow
bdge lord Kldim and Mr. Pertevul in every virtue
of domestick life.
The second party—and which of itself will be
nearly soihrient to overwhelm the ministry, is that
of lords Grey and Grenville. The former of these
noblemen is at the Itead of that small remnant who
remain uttarhed to certain principles which they
consider as having belonged to Mr. Fox. Their
number in Ilia house of commons may be about
thirty five. Lord Grenville htfs a inoch more coin
manding parly. The personal dependants, we
speak of borough members, in the Temple family,
are nearly equal to the whole amount of ihe Fox
[tarty, and when (lie interest of the dukes of Devon
shire, Marlborough, and, as it is said, of Nor
thumberlrtiiri, are added to the weight, it will be
scarcely possible that the mere treasury influence
and government parliamentary property ran hold
out iigainst therm
to tins parly IS to be added a third, which will
probably fall into it* and be amalgamated with it
— Mr. Canning without wealth, and without fami
ly connection, had formed a considerable puny to
Inmselt by the reputation, and merited reputation
of his abilities, like Mr. Cut and Mr. Fox, he was
rapidly forming a circle ot friends around bun, who
attached themselves to him, and rendered him their
h>ad. I his party may amount to about a dozen or
more, end will most probably be added, in the
progress, if not in the commencement „f ir.e sessi
on, to the opposition under lords Grenville and
Gley,
A fourth party, and which will shift and veer, and
Wait the event nl things, if under lord Sid

eceiy one must acknowledge that a more veisatile,

and '.he victory, on which ever side it may he, will
not be of easy acqosuion. Minister Perreval,

Bril’t freckly Mefscngcr.
From iht Edinburgh Reiieie.
“ The parliament of England Is about to assem
ble oar* inure ; and the authors of out calamities
canitot prevmt their conduct from being at least
brought before this illustrinus tribunal. Hilbert"
they have not itl.de any defence ; nut* huve they
hinted that they bud miy to make. They have-ad
milted all their failures to he complete and fatal ;
they have confessed, that the opportunities which
they have lust, will in all likelihood never return._
After a few wretched attempts to divide the blame
among themselves, in shares ditfarent from those in
which the counliy i* disposed to apportion it, they
have been compelled to allow that among themsel
ves it must all be divided, and upon them alone
must the responsibility rest. They have Out dared
to deny, tliat the prospects of the continent are be
come more dismal than ever; that its confidence
in England is cone ; that the map of Europe from
Moscow to Paris, and from Lapland to Calabria, of
fers to the eye only a collection of slates iiggrnn
diged by her hostility, or ruined by the perilnu.
bounty of her alliance. Abroad and at home, which
way soever the eye can turn, our ruleis have amply
j adni'tted, that our affairs are only not desperate,
and have themselves come forward to declare, that
t:-e empire is reduced to a state of difficulty, from
which there can be at least no precedent of i'» ever
having escaped in former times. And after all
these confessions, their only excuse, the only at
tempt they make to regain the confidence of the
people, is fo tell us, “ that the king has reigned fif
ty yeais.” They have ruined our allies; they have
failed in every plan ; they have brought us through
slaughter and disgrace, loaded with ignominy, auil
weighed down with almost intolerable burdens—to
the veiy brink of destruction :—‘ but the king is ve
ty old,’ and 4 he has reigned above half a century.’
“ remains to be seen, whether that parli
ament, which stands in no need of reformation—
! which is a fair rcpiesentation .if the people of Eng
land—which speaks the sentiments of the country
—will be satisfied with tins set off, and once more
acquit the ministers of all blame for their recent
mismanagement. Holding, in common with (be
parliament itself, the doctrine of its purity and of
its sufficiency t« save the state, we cannot antici
pate such a #rision.
“ But it, unhappily, we should find ourselves
mistaken ; if, again, every measure and every mi
nister, he covered over with its approbation, then
we will venture trt predict, not that the government
is acquitted, hut ijpt tin. parliament stands con
demned ; and we shall be compelled to appear in the
foremost rank of those who most acknowledge that
they are conuuscad and converted.—For U is asad
U* ft dk*of«t*e- tptfrer. A refcwTt* p«ni*i
the author* of our nftfforumc* can only mean one
•■I' two thing* -cither that there ha* heetr» blame
iiiearredfbir that it i« expedient to derlJPlit, be
cause such a resolution would drive the guilty pcr
son* from the government. In the ow rir*e, the
parliament wit! show that it it not the representa
tive of tins country ; in the other, we shall have a
conclusive proof that the minister* of the ir»«*
.no irit movable. The responsibility W our rulers,
that fanest feature in the theory of the eonstittiti
ou, will he no longer even a name, wherewithal to
round parliamentary periods ; and the people will
thenceforward recognise, in the great council of the
nation, not the guardrail of their interest, and the
champion <rf their right*, Lot a well contrived in
strument of taxation.
“ I he cunseqoenre of surh a decision therefore.
1 will be productive of incalculable mischief; it will
complete the alienation of the country from the go
vernurem, and shame away the boldest defenders of
the present system. In the mean lime the pressure
of the war, ar.rf ofthe public burthens, will rapidly
increase. The scene of hostilities will approach to
our own shores, and the tuxes. whi< h, like the war,
have as yet only been felt at a distance, will at
length come home to every man** This truth will
then break upon the minds of all, even of the most
confiding and inconsiderate, the truth with which
we opened the present discussion—that there is an
intimate and necessary connexion between the fn
rei?u policy oi the Stale, and the happiness ul each
I individual within its boundaries; that every man
who pays taxes—every mail who values the securi
ty of Ins property, or his own future safety from fo
reign dominion, is immediately affected by the mis
management of the war ; that not a plan falls to
the ground, not a bad appointment of commander
or embassador is made at court, not an opportunity
of heating the enemy in counrils, or iu arms, is
lost, without oor being, a little sooner, or a little
later, individually sensible of it. W’liat will then
remain for the people to do, we need scarcely p„i„l
out. If they value their personal happiness and
national independence, they will watch with re
doubled jealousy, and neverrest satisfied until their
efi'oits «h«ll h ive restored the indisputable countr
lion between misrule and retiibution.
