posterity, that while the crowned heads of the
Continent tried to enslave the nations—
BROUGHAM SENT TILE SCHOOLMASTER
ABROAD and emancipated the People !

There are still several places vacant in the va-
rious departments of office—and we would hum-
bly suggest to Lord GREY to think of such men
as Mr. HumE, Mr. TENNYSON, Mr. GORDON,
Mr. LABOUCHERE, Mr. KENNEDY, Vis-
count MORPETH, and Mr. LITTLETON,
—men who, to great knowledge of business,
sound views, and enlightened sentiments,
bring acknowledged readiness in debate, and
a practical as well as an independent judg-
ment. We are sincerely happy that Mr. Pou-
LETT THOMPSON goes to the Board of Trade,
for there has for some time past been a great
blank in that department.
In short, as the principle of Parliamentary re•
form is to he made a Cabinet question, we think
that Lord GREY will do wisely to select men
who will best serve his purpose, and that
of the country after the Boroughmongers are
put on the shelf. He may depend on it that
measures, not men, will henceforth be re-
spected by the people, who are now, thank
Heaven ! completely awake to their own
interest—and what is more, to their own power !
The people want no party, nor party spirit, be it
Whig, Tory, or Radical—they only want the
party of the PUBLIC, and that they must and
will have.

It is stated, in the Journal des Debats of
Thursday, that the king of HOLLAND had at
length acceded to the terms of the armistice pro-
posed by the Ambassadors assembled at Lon-
don. We do not see how he could do other-
wise ; and the only wonder is, that he should
have been so mad as to have issued the Procla-
mation declaring Antwerp and other places in a
state of blockade, after the decided turn affairs
had taken against him. But there is no rea-
soning with wilfully obstinate men—and the
KING must now, like other people, bend to cir-
cumstances which lie might' have controlled by
prudent foresight, good faith, and conciliatory
conduct.

The opinions of the country on the subject of
a full and fair representation of the people in
Parliament, will be found pretty generally ex-
pressed in another part of The Sun. It there
appears that men of all parties and grades in so-
ciety, with the sole exception of the Borough-
mongers, are unanimous on the point that there
must be a prompt and at the same time an ex-
tensive Reform in the House of Commons. On
this subject there are actually not two opinions
in the country. The only point on which the
Reformers differ, is on the extent to which
their plans shall be carried. For ourselves,
as the question is yet in linaine, we shall offer
no further opinion on the subject, than that that
plan of Reform is the best which gives the
voice of the people the fairest chance of Wag
heard within the walls of St. Stephen's—not in
a half-strangled doubtful whisper, but in the
commanding and rightful tone of authority.
Till within the last few days, the only place
where the opinions of the country upon Reform
have never been heard, has been in the House
of Commons. It is high time, therefore, that
it should now have full licence to express itself.
The Boroughmongers have had their day (and,
gracious Heaven, what :a day it has been for
them !), it is now the people's turn. The former
have had the country parcelled out, like a
large farm, among themselves and their depen-
dants; for ages they have been the one ruling power
of the realm, the monarchical being the first only
in nume ; and have now to put in practice the
difficult task of descending,'step by step, from
their unconstitutional elevation to their fitting
level, with what grace they may, and with as
little hesitation as possible. Like the gigantic
idol that fell prostrate in the dust before the Ark
°idle Lord, theßoroughmongers have fallen before
the force of moral truth and justice. They may
still linger on a few years of doubtful and meagre
authority, but even this henceforth will be the
utmost extent of their power. As Englishmen,
standing on the threshold of freedom, with the
gates of the Constitution thrown wide open to
receive us, we rejoice with all our souls that
this is so. We rejoice; that despotism has
found its level ; that the Sampson of corrup-
tion has been shorn of his locks ; and that the
high road to honour and preferment is no longer
confined to the titled, the wealthy, and the un-
deserving. Perhaps we may be considered pre-
mature in these opinions, but a few days will
decide their truth, when the tliscussion of Mr.
BROUGHAM'S motion on Reform has level-
led the first and last deadly blow at the un-
natural power of the Boroughtnongers. Mean-
while, us we observed yesterday, the country
cannot put forth too much zeal on this impor-
tant occasion. It should be Argus-eyed,
and keep every individual eye fixed on the de-
bate in question, for the Boroughmongers, though
