ii''.Fteldons, if ever, has a Speech from the Throat
'&en couched in language so cautious, so resereen,

Speetiv which his Ma:purr wan advised by his

ruble manner in which it *ma as Usual delivered from
the 'Throne, it really presented no trubjeci either for
praise or censure. The negative tharaCter of the
Speech consequently relieved the Opposition in
l'aritament from the disagreeable necessity ca
moving an amendment to the Address, and tins
circumstance, arising from their own prudence or
timidity, the Ministers very dexterously causerie,'
Iwo a topic of self-gratulation, and exulted is, the
sieniing acquiescence of their political antagonists

~.•

in the terms of the Address, as if the absence of en
• amendment were a concession to their merits o•
their • fortune. The Address, however, in every
sentence conveyed e triumph to the independent
vortionof.slie community. Oa every point of pub-
lic interest which had recently occupied the public
tuind—on every one of those topics which had agi-
tated the country, and were regarded by the parti-
sans of the Miineters as the watch-words of faction
—on all of these the Administration has made the
fullest concession to the voice of the public.
Instead of echoing the werhoop of blasphemy,
sedition, and treason, the Ministers, in ibis Speech,
'mike a full and voluntary acknowledgment of the
moral feeling and sound loyalty of the great body
of the cation—a loyalty too that is admitted to have
passed through the severe ordeal of distress, being
now purer and brighter in proportion to the severity
of the trial. That this admission is not merely a
pretence for neat: Aising the force of Opposition
for • moment, last it is as sincere in feeling as it is
unlimited in terms, is proved by the promise of an
immediate reduction in the military establishment,.
of the country; and the further assurance made by
Lord LIVERPOOL, that in revising the general esti-
metes for the public service, he impsd a consider-
. able retrenchment might be effected in the expen-
diture. Not only, therefore, in the opinion of the
Ministers has there been no increase of danger to
tile State, but the danger which twelve months ago
had rendered en addition necessary to the military
force of the country, has so far diminished as to
• admit e partial relaxation of their military system.
• The Ministers themselves produce the olive branch
-4. prove that the waters are subsiding, and that the
-Constitution is henceforth to repose upon the ex-

clisive basis of our ancient laws. We mu►t, ,how- I
ever, confeas in pity, that this is an unkind blow
to tl:•ise %.,tte,s and addressers who have been
cretliiLu.ly and emulously swearing that the
country Fremisted one corrupting mass of sedition
• and blaap.it Tuy ; who without one imaginable mo-
* live for si.nying their fellow-subject.. beyond
the vague presumption that in so doing they
were performing a service grateful to their pa-
trons in power, have been exposing themselves
to general contempt end derision. We uni-
formly predicted that when Parliament met such
would be the result. There is a vast difference be-
tween the degree of confidence required by an indi-
•idual in ordinary life to repeat a vague and silly
assertion respecting the state of the community in
general, and that which should authorize a respouM.

to exert them, the mart correct means of inforuista',
Lion, to utter an allegation in his place in Parise.
mesa, which he must be aware he should be itnnes•
diotely required to prove and lustily. We have
often challenged the Treasury Writers and the Mi-
Diurnal Addressers to produce a single instance d
criminality such as should, in a reasoning mind,
raise the conviction that sedition and blasphemy
prevailed in the country ; sad now our readers can
appreciate the reasons why our challenge has never
Been answered. We had heard of Magistrates an-
nexing their signatures to such vague charges of
.guilt, hy which they, in fact, imputed to themselves
the no less serious criminality of having neglected
their duty; for although the Quarter Sessions of the
several counties were selected as the fittest places
for authenticating by signatures so respectable the
truth of the allegations, die Magistrate, had not in
the discharge of their duty offered a single case of
blasphemy or sedition to the consideration of the
Grand Juries, that such crimes may be repressed
by the only legal and rational method. Had the
Ministers now injudiciously echoed the silly cry of
their partisans throughout the country, where could
Lord SIDNIOUTH have procured the records of pro-
• vecutiona and convictions to prove that the Govern-
ment had exercised a proper activity, or that the
guilt imputed had merited the reprehension of
Juries? The absence of such documents would
afford a pregnant proof that the charges we►e not
founded in troth, and the danger was too obvious
to warrant any rash experiments.

establishments was not stated in the Spercb from

The tern of the sentence in the Speech relating to
this important point is somewhat singular. The
expression might be called shouty. - " it is a sells.
fiction to me." his Hitt UTT is instructed in Ay,:
to have been ensbted4w asks some reduction in
Our mlFitl►y-eitablishment." Does this passage

•relace to the past, the present, or the future ? Have
the reddetions been made, are 'they now in the
'course of being made, or are they to be made at
the discretion of Parliament ? 'Considered gram-
matically, the passage undoubtedly bears reference
to the past, but as yet the 'public know of no dimi-
nution actually-elrected in oat Militsry forte. At
• all events, tIrC rimy astitnates for the current year
are to be lea. Ilion those of year preceding. But
• how Much'? The last increase of the standing army
amounted to 10,000 nuns bat we were it the same
lion* told,.that, with the exception of the first equip..
went; ibis force should be attended with no increase
eoffenpeteliture, as the men enrolled were pension-
em, !elitist pay on alive service did not exceed
whist they received in retirement from the bounty
of the country. Should the proposed diminution
embrace these men only, the country will, its this
view of the subject, pin frothing. for the pay of
these men will be continued, while the very act of
disbanding the regiments, including the charges of
bringing some of them from Ireland, where they
slow ore quartered, will be attended with a very
considerable expense.
The clw-stion of this proposed reduction is ne-
cessarily convected with the view of our financial
conditron, as noticed in the Speech from the
Throne, nod subsequently adverted to by the Ertl
of Ltireenoot. The Speech exults in the appm
rent increase of revenue in the year just closed, as
compared with the produce of the year preceding.
When the accounts for the last year and quarter
were first published, we expressed our sentiments
upOn them at length, and rilthough these opinions
received on Tuesday night the ranctiun of Mr.
TIERNET'S concurrence, we can assure our readers
that we felt no pride or self.elevation at the cir-
cumstance. We are convinced, too, that Mr.
TIERNEY himself, while he exposed the fallacy of
the reasoning that led the Ministers to prompt the
Etna to represent the revenue as improving,
lamented as sincerely as we do that the representa-
tion was not founded upon a firmer and less equi-
vocal basis. When the estimated produce of the
new taxes is taken into consideration, who can
doubt that, in point of fact, the state of the revenue
of the last year was an evidence of any thing but of
improving resources? and how much more strongly
dots it support the same distressing inference, whets
the state of the revenue for the last year is coin-
pared, not with the produce of the year 1819, but
with that of the year preceding it !
Lord LtvetteooL, however, tells us that the
revenue has at length arrived to • state in which
the expeuditure of the year can he provided fur
without a loan, or, as he stated it, " without creat-
ing any new stock." This, lie truly observes, is a
new epoch in the financial annals of the country
since the return of peace. This can be accom-
plished by either of two ways: a large increase in
the revenue, or an extensive reduction in the pub-
lic expenditure. The latter is tint only by far the
better and wiser mode of effecting the object, but
i. ut present the only one that is feasible. We
lately remarked that a retrenchment in the public
services to the amount of right millions should be
required to bring the expenditure within the
income. Will this be done? or will any thing
short of this be sufficient for enabling the Ministers
to accomplish their purpose? These we fear will
he found to be questions difficult to be solved,
but fur the present we shalt tint withhold our confi-
dence from Lord Lteetteoot.'s statement.
This is the second great point on which the
Ministers have conceded the qtiestion to the force
of public opinion. They hare pledged them.
selves to an extensive system of retrenchment,
and Lord Ltexiteooes undertaking to bring the
expenditure within the income, reduces to some
degree of precision the vagueness of the promise
entiveyed in the Speech. The lag I t, and
certainly 110 l the least in importance es a party
question, on which the Ministers have turned
their backs upon the Addresses, and bent to public
opinion. relates to the treatment of the Queer.
Her MAJESTY is recognised as Queen Comott of
these realms from the Throne itself, and her pe-
cuniary concerti% are to that capacity referred by
the KING himself to the consideration of Perlim
ment. To treat her MAJESTY with respect, there-
fiWe, will not in future, we presume, be either
treason or blasphemy ; and it is also so be hoped,
that henceforth the hirelings of the Treasury will
not consider indecent ribaldry and iambi directed
against the QUEEN, us the at convenient anode
of testifying their orthodoxy ur their loyalty.
Should the Ministers of the Crown pursue this ap-
proach to peace and amity inn conciliatory and
respectful manlier, we certainly should not he
pleased sit soy anemia to review the late painful
proceedings, nor to revive ancient arsimusities,
which, for the peace and respectability of the
country, had much better rest in silence.

DEATH OF SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL, G.C.B

This diatingslialied Officer, who was Admiral of the
White, and Commander.in.Chief at Portsmouth, we regret
to announce, has, by one of those unaccountable and ex-
traordinary aberrations of reason, whirls have lamentably
visited at all times, and in all ages, men of every class and
every rittaliacation, hull. mental and persoual, put • period
to his existence ow Tuesday morning, by shooting himself
with a pinto'. No possible cause can be assigned fur this
act, bust a peculiar illness which has lately 'labeled him,
and which carried occasionally a considerrble flow of blood
to the head, and has of lair occasioned him evident on•
easiness, but which by attention, as he was conscious of it,
he meant to have removed by medicine and exercise, though
we regret this determination was made too late, as in one
of these depreasiona of apirits mid natural oppression in the
