OF THE LAST CONSPIRACY.

(Modelleiffroa our Paper of yeslerdey )

We think we have proved to demonstration these
essential truths, that to change a system of Admi-
nistration it is necessary to change those who direct
it; that in a constitutional Government nu autho-
rity can be efficient which is not supported by the
organs of public opinion which are called parties;
and finally, that a part cannot he usefully, cer-
tainly, and irrevocably attached in a Government,
except by placing in the Administration its natural
chiefs, the men in whom it reposes entire confi-
dence. But an important question still remains to
be discussed—" In case of. change of system, bow
will the Government decide in the choice of the
party which► it is to call to its aid r' Here all opi-
nions savour of interest. One petty will say, that
that should be chosen which is the most numerous

in the nation at laryie, and both will perhaps pre-
sume to decide in their favour this question. which
can. its fact, never be decided, except be election
free. and exempt Inset all isfluence. The other
party will maintain, that Government should obtain

now sweet is that home where Contentment sit. smiling,
And ilic look so expressive whieli Virtue endear,.
Where Love looks domestic, so pleasing, beguiling,
Arid linnet Sensibility adds cuinfort in years.

Una many a tear have I shed in beholding
The sweets of Contentment, so devoid of all strife,
Where the Pal (Ili so joyous with rapture unfolding
The joy of his beast, and the embrace of a Wife.

Thew bow cbeerly, serenely, duth time glide away,
And the year which bath pasted seems newly cum-

So bright are the prospects of each coming day,
That Hope seems to smile at each blessing dispened.

Then say not that life is a burden too heavy,
While we see those around us partake of its sweets,
Fur the great cause of grief, is time spent unsteady
And the mournful remembrance of youthful conceits.

OUTINIAN LECTURES.

These moral Lectures a►e room' benevolently
to co-operate with the dispositions of sill good sub.
jects to lessen the evil which the lute necessary pro.
visions of Government for the advantage of the country
,must unfortunately cease, in the redaction of so many
Officers of the Army to the balf.pay list. It W9llllll be happy
if all the men of literary genies or superior oratorical to
in that .amber, could obtain the .success winch it is
sot doubted will await the exertions of the young Gentle-
man now appointed by the Gunnies Society, Lecturer of
the Western District, namely, Lieutenant 'Cilium, of Arid-
port, Author of those elegant Poems entitled " Wild
Roses," published at Dorchester, 1818, and who has con-
seined to ►eoriv the profits, and risk the losses of the un-
dertaking. Truly, Therefore, does it appear justiciable to
say of t►ese Meetings (which will recommence in London
at the beginning of next month), what is observed in the
circulated Notices of them, namely, that they have been
aptly compared with the edifying ones held in ancient times
by the primitive Christians, from their likelihood to pro-
mote those improvements in society, which the Lecturer
meditates, as tending both to our present and our future
welfare.

CADIZ, NOVEMBER 7.

Preparations are making to equip the Diana and
the Ligera frigates. They are destined for Vera
Cruz, where they are t• receive six millions of
piabtres, detained in that port for want of a safe
conveyance to Europe. Exertions continue to be
made fur preparing the expedition; the Admiral
who is to command the naval force is not yet named,
nor are the Captains of the several vessels appoint-
ed, which induces a belief that the departure of the
expedition will not soon take place. The General
Count de l'Abibbal is appointed only temporary
Governor of Cadiz. It is thought here that the
Marquis de Casteldorrins, who has been summoned
to Madrid by hia Majesty, will assume this com-
mand.

asked the limier of Ibis superb mansion how much it had
Coat? The Armenian, afraid of appearing too rich, an-
swered promptly, 300 purses (about 4500106 franc.), while
hi fact it had coat 'ripple that suns. The Salta.. i.dik him
at his word, paid down the 300 parser, soul tlethirril him-

COWER V. icutaisok.

This was an action for goods sold and delivered,
and for work and labour, furnished and performed
by the Plaintiff, at the request of the Defendant.
The sum claimed was 431. 9s. and the defence was
a set-off.
The Plaintiff is a painter and glazier, residing
in Bloomsbury ; and the Defendant is landlord of
the Three Tuns public-hotise, inWhitechapel. The
debt was stated to have been incurred for painting
and glazing the Defendant's house, and for erect-
ing abeer-engine in his bar. Witnesses were called,
who proved that tits work was performed by the
Plaintiff, and that the charges were moderate.
Mr. Scaxmirr, for the Defendant, said, if he
wished to rest his client's case on the nature of the
charges, he believed he could make out a very
good defence, for•they were, in fact, must exorbi-
tant. But he would pass them over, as he could
substantiate a clear set-off. Unfortunately the
Defendant became acquainted, some time since,
with the Plaintiff, and a considerable degree of i►►-
timacy grew up between them. The Plaintiff
being in want of cash, the Defendant, as rustier of
accommodation, remitted a bill of 441. for bun—
dle Plaintiff undertaking to meet the bill. when it
became due, and assuring the Defendant he should
have no vouble with it. In the mouth of January,
1815. the bill became due, and it was presented to
the Defendant by the Plaintiff's brother. Defend-
ant objected to paying it, on the ground of its
being a mere matter of accommodation on his part,
and also as the Plaintiff had promised positively to
take it up. The brother went away, and Defen-
dant heard no more of the bill for a long period.
In the mean time, the Plaintiff became a bank-
rupt—soon after which, his brother again presented
the bill fur payment, and the Defendant being
severely pressed, took it up, giving in lieu of it
two bills, both dated the 18th of January, 1817,
one at three mid the other at four months—the first
fur 251. and the second for 41/. 15s. 6d. being the
amount of the original bill, with interest, which he
paid when they became due. After this transac-
tion the Plaintiff called on the Defendant, and ex-
pressed his regret that he should have been put to
any expense on his account. He then said that he
was again in business, and he would take care the
Defendant should be no loser by him, as he would
work out the debt, if Defendant had any thing to
do in his way. Defendant then employed him to
do the work which was the subject matter of the
present action.
This statement being substantiated by evidence,
the Plaintiff was tiontrited.
