those from power to whom inn+ a vicious slate of thiugs
was attributable.—{(real app/owe.)--Nothing was moor
cantinou than for dery awed Minister., when they had
reduced a whole community to digesetiou and distress,
to assign false causes fur the evils which nerved. d the State.
Nothiag was more easy, as had been well said by Mr.
Nicholls, when Ministers had Outwit their hoods deep in,
the pockets of the people, this. to call in the assistance of a

the ryes of those whom they defrauded, by emendate the
public mitery to all sad fortify cause, save the real one, which
was to be loom! if their own condoet.--(opolowee.)--
Various were the ceases to which, the digressed situation of
the entlilify was attributed; for Minister* ilietwarlera cooed
not deny—no person. indeed, could deny—that great distress
did at present prevail. Differeut political writers load, how.
ever, agilefted different reasons for the tx;stesice of that dia.

Once separate heads. Ore class of politicians told them
that a redundant populations was the cease: another elms

of an aggravated taxation, rendered still mute bisrdentowne
by a wit ked, unjust, nail impolitic tampering with the cur-

a redundant population, and a soperabosolatire of food at the
same time, was such au anomaly, was le grin. so absurdity,
that it could not be treated seriously, it most give rine to
feelings of levity. That there was a body who argued that
the evils of the country arose from a redundant population,
was known to every over; and the mention of this met pat loin

where she resided, counselling the 'imitate against marriage,

But the most pouting part of the matter was, that the hus-

—(Applause)—But there was SIM thee thing connected with
ibis tatersive taxation, which, if wit attended to, bade fair eo
ileatriiy what some CeNtlfSPee were Arty fund of talking above
—namely, social order. He alluded to the resiimptiott of cash
payments. As he touched nom) this subject, it world be nes •
c y for him to go back to the root sad attain of all the
evils under which 'lie country was now suferine. In the year
1797, Government thought proper, by an order is Conecil,
to hairnet the Directors of the Bank of England to Mop
payment—nr, in other weeds, toil to do that which every one
of their notn promiswel to iLl;•1Z IS pay the nominal amoust
of those news. us demand, in cash. This measure, *bleb
was now felt like all electric shock ihniugh every pert
of the body politic, was the work of an iudividual, whoa,
friends met every year to toast his memory as a great
man, as a beeves-bore Minister ! He believed, however,
that the country •t large thought otherwise of his merits.
They considered biro an apostate from those principles,
the avowal of which, aided by a powerful tloquelke,
procured fur him the respect sod esteem of the nation.
But he who of one time said, that nit honest nom could
remain Minister of this country, coustituted as the House
of Commons then was (and it was still ex:militated in the
moue way), afterwards made a wreck of honour, sod
saciificed public principle at the thrice of power. (Applaves )
Instead of procuring indemnity fur the part, iud security for
the future, he left behind him misery and pauperism; and
the people of England ap:wared to have been very busy of
late in taking possession of the effects thus bequeathed to
them.—(Apphatire.)—The find conaequeuee produced by the
rystriellou on cash payments was ratted, slid fa'aely called,
agricultural prosperity. And it was very remarkable, that
the return to the system from which Guverumeut had for-
meetly departed was sow complained of, by the same
class of persons, as agricultural adversity. The effect of
the restriction was to change completely the whole of
the dealings between man sad man. ladeeel, even the
Constitution was changed ; few it was the prerogative of
the Crown to superintend and watch over the currency
of the country; but this measure trassferred that important
right of the Sovereign to a company of merchants. The
currency was to be managed as the Directors of the Bank of
England pleased. To sum the matter np in a few words,
Ministers sabstituted Iteglsir for the mines of Mexico,
and made the Old Lady in Theradneediewtreet Master uf tbe
Miut.--(Lorghler.)--But, for the purpose of patronage,
they kept up the establishment. They paid the officers of
the Old Mint for doing nothing, and they remunerated the
sinkers of the New Mint fur doing worse than nothing—fur
&shag olothief.—(Applause.)—The effect was to depreciate
the cureenciof the country ; and it was felt—where it always
would be felt—is an Were...red price of the necessaries of life.
