POLITICAL DISQUISITION.

ON THE LATE SESSION OF PARLIAMENT.

TN our last number we took occasion to lament The
Ilank which the death of Mr. Ponsonbv has left in the
Nino• ity, and also to state our conviction that no com-
petent successor to him could be found among the
members of that body. H' any circumstance stronger
than another had been wanting to confirm us in that
opinion, it would have been fiunad in the Parliament-
ivy proceedings on the last day but one of the Session,
when Mr. Brougham brought forward his motion on
the State of the Nation.

In the brighter days of the Opposition this was a
question which generally gave birth to a display of tal-
ent, fur which the public were thankful, whatever
might he the fate of the motion. It was a subject which
allways seemed to inspire the mover with new powers,
and to make all his supporters eloquent, but in this in-
stance, whatever might be the cause, Mr. Moog-ham
'fell many degrees beneath himself, and not one of his
supporters exhibited even a mediocrity of talent. If we
were to seek for another cause than that of a lack of abi-
lity, it would-be in the untenable nature of the ground
which the Learned Gentleman had chosen. To censure
or pruise by ioliolesdc will seldom be safe, because it
will seltionabe true ; to assert that nogling had been
done by Parliament to•reiieve the'Country, was at any
rate unwise, because the power of refutation was ut
.the haels of every one; and to leme'the straight for-
ward road which the nature of the motion pointed out,
to indulge in personal skirmishing with au
whoso alledged crimes had certainly nothing to do with
the matter in larid, bespoke a littleness of mind which
we too often find tincturing the eloquence of men whose
habits of public smiting have been acquired by long
'practice in the Courts.
Bat setting aside all Mr. Brougham's personalities,
we will candidly enquire what has been done by Par-
lament during the late session, to relieve the distresses
of the people.
Amongst the many causes to which our national
:distress has been attributed, the existence of sinecures
has held a distinguished place; both in and out of the

Childs, landlord of the Horse-Guards Sutling house. appeared before
Mr. White, the sitting Magistrate, to answer to an information laid
against him, at the instance of Henry Pluckwell, his predecessor in

may be recollected that Mr. Pluckwell, when he kept the same house,
had been prosecuted by informers under similar circumstances, till
he was compelled to leave the house, and by which he lost consider-
able property, and had been since then confined in the King's Bench
inconsequence. Prom this ci rcum stance it was intimated the present
information had been laid through malignity; however, this ease was
',roved upon oath of John Has .clay, a Buw.street patrole, and Serjeant
:•lajur Child was convicted in the penalty of los.

The accounts received ft;m;. India in the course of the
week, •bring the satisfactory intelligence that the Mahratta
war was considered an event no longer within the range of
probability. Mr. Elphinstone, by a masterly decision at
Poonah, gained the victory without a battle. The civil con-
test, however, if it can be so called, was still carried on in
the Company's eastern ten Rory. The rebels, though appa-
rently on the point of being overpowered, had not been ac-
tually quelled. lint if the difficult nature of the country
was such as to afford any chance sf a protracted warfare,
the immense milieu iority of force on our side left none what-
ever of a fortunate result .
On the first of Jane, the Magistrate at Cuttack made
known, that the Pykes were laying waste the district inr all
quarters ; that the insurrection was extending itself to Bala-
sore, and that some attention would be required in that di-
rection. The Pykes are found to be exceedingly tronble-
some, not on account of their numbers, but because of their
anode of warfare. They harbour like tigers and other wild
beasts in thick jungles, and lire upon small parties. 'l' hey
can always effect their retreat, and at the bailie time, by their
tlire::ts pus seat the inhabitants from returning. Under these
circumstances, it is a task of sonic difficulty to restore tran-
quillity throughout the district whiclEthey have occupied.
From Calcutta it is stated, that the 21st of May, Shai k
Dultou, with about 800 Pindarees, had succeeded in his at-
tempt to cross the Nerbudda, with the intention of pushing
forwat dto the southward. This desperate movemem, as it is
called, is conjectured to have been occasioned by a re.
hellions party in the Poonah dominions, with which these
iriuriarees had determined to co-operate. The British forces
are so strong in the direction they had taken, that there was
Little expectation uf their being enabled to escape.
Jean Baptiste, and other distinguished officers iu Scindiah's
service, have taken up arms against the Biitish ; but their
followers ale kw, and not of a warlike description.
From Cattack we learn, that Mukhuond Deo, the Rajah of
Khoordah, and his sou arrived at that station on the I th of
)lay. They were to be conveyed from thence without delay
to Calcutta with a strong escort.

(PROM THE AMERICAN PAPERS.)

Citautuston, OCT. 21.—A gentleman who left Fernandina

been it. a state of great-confusion fur some days before he

was the general expectation that blood would be idled befor,
the commotion ended. Such was the of the Go
v ernment, that New Councils were formed every two or three
days.
On the 15th an arrangement was entered into, which ex-
cluded the military entirely front 'mace ; and there was tutu
doubt that this Council would be overturned soon by the
military, who in their turn, would exclude the cis Ulans of
this rising empire front all participation in the administration.
For the last three days the parties were actually in arms
against each other % and it is next to impossible, even on the

The COllllllodOle had issued a proclamation in the name of

LONDON:

MONDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1817.

THE Paris papers from Sunday, to Wednesday last,
were received on Saturday. The Chamber of Deputies
Suet on the Rgth ult. and the Minister at War (M.Gou-
'ion de St. Cyr.) brought forward the project of the
-new law for recruiting the army. The speech with
-which the Minister introduced it, was principally di-
"'meted to an explanation of the law, and, except the fol-
lowing passage, contained little of a political nature,
41 With the exception of those circumstances which de-

fy all calculation, in which France would not find less
resources in herself than any other people have found,
the proposed military organization will be sufficient to
secure that independence, and that dignity, without
Which there can be neither King nor nation. It is no
longer a question of going beyond our frontiers to at-
tack, aggrandize, or defend, other States, we only wish
to protect our own homes, our families, our king, and
our country." The whole of this passage is so much
in the Buonaparte style, that we naturally attach more
importance to it than it perhaps deserves. What
those " circumstances," are, which " defy all calcula-
tion," •it will not be very profitable to enquire, but
with respect to the forbearance expressed in the close
of the paragraph, we were so long accustomed to the
same affectation, of humility, under the usurpation, that
we view it with considerable suspicion.

There papers say that Eugene Bcauharnois is placed
by the King of Bavaria next in rank to the Royal Fa-
mily,-of all the Bavarian subjects; his titles are do-
-scribed to be Prince of Eichstadt and Duke of Leuelt-
tenberg.
It is asserted in private letters from Paris, that the
'French Ministers are menanced with a powerful and
-troublesome opposition, which will exert its principal
strength against the Concordat and the law of the liberty
of the press. The point to be insisted Oat with regard
to the later topic is the application of trial by jury to all'
cases whatever in which the delinquencies of the press
.ar:: in question.

ALIEN STOCKHOLDERS.

Mr. Gn excELL, in pursuance of the notice given by him on
a former tidy, brought forward his Motion for a Return of the
number of Aliens residing abroad, having money in our
Funds. The Hon. Gent. said, it sons no satisfaction to the
public to know, that in consequence of the Book being
allowed to make these enorralillS profits of the public, a cur-
trio Noble Lord, on the ..:3d of April last, seceived as a bonny
from the Bank, no less than 70,0001. He was convinced, if
all the retrenchments possible were adopted, savings to the
amount of 4011,11001. per annum might be made to the public.
He moved I,:r a t eturn of the number of proprietors of Bank
Stock, on the 31st of March.
Mr. VANSITTAUT did not think it prudent that the House
should call for such an account. It could has e no other
rtiret than to create alarm in lie MIMI% of foreigners, and
induce them to WillidraW their capital. The motion, if'
agreed to, could not present aliens, even if it was desirable,
Rout holding stock of any kind. As to the profits ofthe Bank,
touched upon by the Hon. Gent. he would nut go into that
-subject ; it had no counectimi with the present motion.
Mr. PossoNav said, lie had sees so much good result from
the labours of his Hon. Friend, that he was persuaded he had
some good object ins view in milking this motion. The Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer said, ands a motion as this %sould
Rive alarm to foreigners, by exposing their property. What
exposure could there be? Ht• lion. Friend roily asked for
numbers, not for names ; and he would ask, what alarm could
be excited by a return which stated, that 50 foieigners had
600,0001. in one funds.
Sir J. NEW POUT al•n supported the motion, he said, hi:
Hou. Friend, by his motions and persevering; indmai y and
exertion., had saved more for site public than all the Finance
Committees put together.
Mr. MANNINO I/pi/OM:41 the motion.
Mr. GuEssimi. replied, and said, he could state. that one-
tenth of the proprietors were foreigners ; and they had,
*Rhin the last 20 years, received their proportion of
bons, the eIIUIMOUS profit which the Bank bad abated within
that period.
