General BERTRAND'S -house is scarcely 20 yards
distant. The chance of seeing BON•PARTR rarely

early, takes exercise on his horse in the most se-
cluded spots, and afterwards works very hard with
a spade in his garden, Ile refuses to have strangers
introduced to him. ON my way to,Loogwood, a
place very similar to the Devil's Punch Bowl (on
the road from Portainooth to Loudon) attracted
my notice ;. it is inferior in size, but in form eery
like. 4 SI. Helena abounds with sallies, ipterspersed
with country seats; it is fortified all round, and
numerous telegraph posts are planted, whereby ret-
ools are descried ninety miles distant. The watch.

gience upon the one that we have passed—to
review the principal measures and events that have
distinguished it. progress, and to estimate their
character by the tendettcy they discover .to promote
the individual and general Welfare of society. The
year 1820 is now mingled with the ocean of eter-
nity, it has become the property of the historian,
and however much men are naturally disposed to
exaggerate the magnitude of the occurrences that
mark their own peculiar time, and to give the pre-
sent hour an importance that does not properly be-
long to it, no one can doubt that to the records'
which the year just closed has left, our posterity will
look with deep slid intense interest, and from the
inspertanee sad peculiarity of the events, will sub-
ject to a severe and rigorous scrutiny the condliet
of the individuals who, during its turbulent and
agitated course, have appeared upon the-busy stage
of public life.

Ihe year 1840 is rendered illustrious as being
the first year of the ►eign of his present mast
gracious MAJESTY, by the meeting of his first
Parliament, and still more by the prosecution of:
hit Qvgix. As the first year of a-Moisarcli's reign
is almost univetsully supposed to impress the cha-
racter of his future government, we.ahould feel as
much unwillingness to speak or it otherwise than in
the language of panegyric, as is ever Amain by the Op-
position in Parliament to quarrel with the Address
thloposed by the Ministers of the Crown in answer
to his MAJESTY'S first Speech to his people ; but
this notion, however correct it in:ly be when ap-
plied to foreign Kings, can never be true of a Bri-
tish Monarch, whose government is essentially the
government of his Miniiiters, and which mussel!

course, vary in character will' the succe.l74lll
changes in the members of his Cabinet. There is
not, in paint of fret, a government in the world
more purely elective than that of Great Britain,
for although by the wise disposition of our Consti-
tution the monarchy of.the State i► hereditary, the
Ministers who constitute the executive power are
elective, not at any particular epochs, or at any
periods regularly returning, for which they might
prepare by cabala and influence, or cover the
errors of years by some act of tardy wisdom,
but ut any and every moment during the
Sitting of the Legislature, at which the Representa-
tives of the nation-might choose to withdraw their
confidence from the Cabinet then existing. A re-
volution of the most complete and efficient nature
is thus at• once prodtitcd, withotit the slightest con-
vulsion, or injury to the public peace. No ill
blood is generated, no rebellions need be appre-
hended; the scheme of government proceeds with-
out let or hindrance, the public relations are iii nu
respect affected, the laws retain their accu►tomed
power and sanction, and are administered with their
wonted impartiality, the great principles of society
remain unaltered ; but there is a promise that greator
energy end greater virtue will, for at least a season,
be infused into the system, and an assurance that
the strong sense of the nation, on any given Wine
prevailing et the moment of the change, will in-
fluence the leading measures of the successful can-
didates.

The first Parliament of the poeselit rise
met on the 21st of April, end on Thursday; the
27th, his MAJESTY formally opened the Ses-
sion with a Speech (ruin the Throne, its no re-.
spect inure remarkable than for the careful;
avoidance it marked of every topic which by pact-.
bility might excite opposition. The Address, as
is usual at the coinatericerueutuf a monarch's reign,
was voted without oppokion. On this point it ii
impossible nut to observe how very much the im-
portant duty that properly belongs to the Crown 91
I.9ing before Parliiment at the commencement
of a Session s view of the events that have occurred
during the recess, and of the circumstances of the
country with regard to its iuteroal economy and ,
foreign relations, has dwindled into a mere form.--
How meagre will one of- our speeches from the
throrre•appear, in comparison with a message from
the PRESIJAKT to the Congress of the United
Sates of Anierica-• sketch • which, were al! the
other records or the Uoioar destroyed, might still
serve es a history orthut country, awl as • guide to
direct the judgment of posterity in the delightful
took of anscertaieing the character of those counsels
which are calculated to raise a few miserable
settlers on an inhospitable shore to the post
and dignity of a free, numerous, and powerful
people. The meagre nature of the opening Speech
from the Throne, as controsterl with a run-
DENT'S Message, is much to be lamented,' as it

•

entieeely limits the toMin‘ ..et eelleetint earect
intelligence upon public-atlas, end diminishes the
legitimate resources or history. The causes of it
are, we believe, to be traced to the injudicious prim-

sentiments and language of the speeches. Ministers

veer to frame the speeches fur that purpose,
and the interest and value of the communication
from the Monarch to his people are sucrifirred to
obtain an object foe Ins Ministers of momentary
and contemptible imponance.

At the commencement of the Session the ques-
tions that numediately pressed upon the attention
of Parli4nient were—the amount of the Civil List,
the mate of the 6issisees of the country, the extent
of the military and naval establishments, and the
meatus of promoting the foreign trade of the em-
pire. It was universally admitted that the coun-
try still continued to labour under great priva-
tions, that In every pursuit, whether comiiier-
cial or agricultural, the industry of the people
was not sufficiently encouniged and rewarded,
that pauperism still flourished to • frightful de-
gree, that the reveuue was not sufficient to
meet the expenditure of the nation, and yet that
the taxes were felt as a grievous and intolerable
burden. The object, therefore, of the independ-
ent Members of Parliament war to induce the Le-
gislature to cousent to the reduction of the public
expenditure below the receipt of the revenue ; to
obviate the necessity of having recourse to further
loans ; to diminish the burden of taxation, as it
pressed upon the !sheering and industrious part
of the community ; and to form en efficieut sinking
fund, which might justify a hope of reducior
the enormous load of the national debt. Let
the public see how far the Ministers concur-
red in this patriotic view of the independent.
Members, and let the comparative merits of the
principles entertained respectively by Whigs mod
Taries be thence determined. The Ministers
obtained a Civil List to the amount of 850,00.111.
fir England. and 2(1,0001. fur Ireland, making
• total of 1,057.000/. which, considering the,
charges formerly payable from the Civil List, and
removed from the Civil Lin to the Consolidated
Fund by the Act of the 56111 of the late KING,
and also consideting the removal of the Windsor
Establishment, the Pat NCE RXEENT'S Privy
Purse, end certain other matters, is • larger
Civil List than was ever grained by Paths-
, merit to • any 'former King. The House of
iillipnens, at the same time, voted, by it intijo-
r
eify or. - 155: that the Omits of the Crown,
comprenug a variety of colonial taxes, and giving an
average during the Lite Kt wo's reign of 317,6361.
a-year, should remain at•the sole and uncontroled
disposal of the •executive power. The standing
army was maintained at a war eatablislitnent of
92,586 men, exclusive of the immense Indian army,
and at an estimated expense of 6,807,466/. 6s. 6d.
The slimy eaclimstes were fixed. at 2,c216,746/ 31. I Id.
Both of these sere larger than the estimates for
the respective ite#hres during the preceding year.
111 the mesa time Lord MILTON'S motion for •
repeal of the WOot 'fax, which pressed with such
injurious severity upon our staple trade, was re-
jected by a majority of 74, for not a shilling could
be given up by the CULINCELLOR of the EXCHE-
QUER, and on the very same day, the 26th of May,
to meet the extravagint expenditure of the Mi-
nisters beyond the income of the nation. to sup-
port an impoverished Treasury, to maintain the
influetice of the Cabinet, but to entail bur.
dens without end upon our posterity, and to de-
prive us of the only hope we had still left of seeing
the debt diminished. Mr. Hiss was instructed to
co 11111 l unicate to the Stork Exchange that it was
the intention of Government to fond Exchequer
bills to the amount of seven millions, to raise a
loin of about the same amount, and to draw twelve
millions from the Sirrking Fuud ! Succli werb the
measures pursued by the Ministers for the relief of
the country, to restore its fivatteer, improve its
credit, and foster its resources! In vain' did the
independent Members of Parliament labour against
to dreadful a system ; in vein did they -hive to di-
rect the Levi:cloture to • salutary sense of what
was due to the necessities and wishes of the country,
and to induce even an inquiry into the means of
reducing the burdens. Colonel Davres' motion
fur au inquiry into the military expenditure was.rr-
jected by a majority of SO. Mr. BROUGHAM'S
motioa for subjecting the Droits of the Crown to
parliamentary control was rejected by u majority of
118. Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON'S motion re-
specting the fifth Baron of the Exchequer in Scot-
, lamed was rejected, but only .by a majority of
Lord Mturott's motion for a repeal of the Wool
Tax was rejected by_ a majority of 74.
Front the discussion of these cptestions, in which
were truly involved the immediate interests. of the
nation, Parliament was rudely dragged- to the con-
sideration of a topic, irnportunt indeed iu is nature
and character, but in its details so " derogatory
from the dignity of the Crown, and so iojurimis
to Elie heat interests of the empire," aryl.° excite
the warmest and moat indignant freliegs through-
0* every class of the community. But to
counnent upon the prosecution opium the QUERN.
