SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

The French nation:must be presumed to under-
stand best its own internal condition, or at least,
whether correct or otherwise the view which any
people may take of their own interests, it is they
only who have the power (which foreign dissentients
have not) of carrying such views into action. We
find from the Fads Journals, us well as from our cor-
respondents, that however the institution and the
prodigious extension of the National Guard may be
looked upon by distant observers, like ourselves,
as a body in some measure distinct from the nation,
because regularly organized, and devoted to peculiar
uses, or as a fair object of wa►chfulness, if not of
suspicion, from being a body self-officered and
completely armed, the French regard it as in-
corporated, or rather identified, with the country,
and incapable of being moved by any interests
or impulses which are not common to it with
the whole of constitutional France. Undoubtedly,
if it is to be understood, as some of our contem-
poraries have informed us, that the National Guard of
France is commensurate with, and does actually con-
stitute the entire French people who have means
of providing themselves with clothes and fire-
locks, there is an end of the question, so far as con-
terns the diitinctness of the two communities. Still
we may be permitted to remark, that even a people
might be disposed to act differently with arms in its
bands, from its mode of behaving itself without
them ; and that its own interests and those of other
nations -might be affected through the immediate
operation of a million of hands each grasping a mus-
ket, and prompt in the use of it, rather more criti-
cally and irreparably than by any civil government
and legislature, were it even possible to conceive a
legislative body amounting in numbers to a million
of men. As we have said before, however, the
French ought to know their own affairs best ; and
if they feel that a general armament of the nation is
requisite towards the assurance of peace abroad, and
towards the consolidation of order and liberty at
home, it becomes a manifest indiscretion to a fo-
reigner to press opposite counsels on their notice.
Such an establishment, nevertheless, will exercise
unavoidably—we must not venture to say injuri-
ously—a paramount and permanent supremacy in
any country where it exists. But then, say the op-
timists, that is still the government " of the people."
Undoubtedly, we admit that it is so; but it is the
people making and administering laws in person, not
through deputies; arid thus discarding from its prat.
the noblest improvement of modern times upon
antiquity—the invention of representative eonstilu-
lions. We see that the Constitutionnel puts in the
same rank, as equally essential to the well-being of
Prance, the trial by jury for offences of the press,
and the spread of the National Guard, or civic
soldiers, to .the remotest extremities of France.---
llfntee.

It is understood that overtures. were lately made
to Lords Melbourn and Palmerston, Mr. Charles
Wynne, and Mr. Charles Grant, but they refused
to join the Administration without Mr. Iluskisson.
This circumstance sufficiently indicates the arrange-
ments on which we may calculate. A respectable
'manta (the Maneherder Guardian), alluding to the
dinner given in that town to the Premier, observe;
ghat—
" Certain journalists have been in the habit of telling
us that the Duke of Wellington's Administration was
hated by the country ; and that wherever the public voice
could make itself beard, the general prevalence of that sen-
timent was made abundantly manifest. Well ; the con-
puny at the Manchester slimier consisted of between '7OO
and 800 persons of the middle claim of society—men who
individually neither want the favours of Ministers nor
dread their frowns, but who, in the best sense of the term,
are independent ; and how did they receive the toast of
d his afeptsty's Ministers ?' Why, with vehement applause;
and when the Duke of Wellington, lek ar,17e11;04,0 his ao.
knowledgment of it, had stated that hit colleagues end
himself desired to retain his Maleity's confidence, only
so long as they possessed the confidante and good opinion of
strap assemblies as that,' the whole company rose (at least
we did not see a single exception,) and there was one of
the most enthusiastic bursts of cheering that we ever wit-
timed. It is not, however, to be inferred from the cir-
oninstance, that the people of Manchester are satisfied
with the entire construction of the Administration. Their
favourable opinion rests chiefly on Sir Robert Net in one
Douse, and on the Duke of Wellington in the other; and
their feelings towards the Government, by no means those
of undiscriminating confidence, are founded on the general
tendency of its most important measures ; on its great
extensions of religious liberty; on the tolerant spirit of its
&mettle, and the cautious and prudent character of its
foreign p Airy; on its maintenance and presumed incline-
gun to extend the application of a liberal and commercial
system; on its declared intention to introduce a strict
economy into every branch of the public service ; and on
the disposition, for which credit is given, it, of a readiness
to Was those concession* with regard to the improvement
of our institutions, which the spirit and the intelligence
of the age so loudly roll for."
We are here told that the people of Manchester
are riot disposed to withheld their confidence from
the Administration ; but then the confidence is given
to eu Administration in posse, and not in ease. It
is at present like a regiment returned from the West
Indies, with the colours, drums, and one or two
officers—a very good regiment, only requiring to be
renewed. Credit is also given to the Administra-
tion for tut intention to introduce strict economy
into every branch of the public service, and a readi-
ness to make those concessions with regard to the
improvement of our institutions, which the spirit
and the intelligence of the ago se' loudly call for.
We do not doubt that, as far as the people are con-
cerned, they will support any Minima who en-
forces economy, and is disposed to improve our in-
stitutions. A Ministry disposed to act faitly , to-
wards the country may set faction at defiance. But
is our contemporary quite certain 'that the Duke
really means to promote mu:lnm), and reform ? Last
Session opened with high promotes; but the per-
formances did not exactly keep pace with thern. It
is supposed, we know, by some, that the Duke, who
is a diligent reader of the,eigns of the times, and
knows when to adeance and when to . retreat,
will endeavour to cut the ground from under
the Opposition by proposing, himself the mea-
sures on which alone they eat(' hope for po-
pularity. 'Be it so---eo matter what the mo-
tive. 'Elie Ministerial Manifesto of Government
without Whigs, tells ,us, indeed, that " it is most
evident that the Duke of Wellington's Adminis-
tration is that most calculated of all which the va-
rious parties could supply, to meet the present wants
and wishes of the country. There is hut one voice
heard from each extremity of the kingdom to the
other, raid that voice is for retrenchment and eco-
nomy. Many men, when out of sower, have
talked of retrenchment ; the present Ministers alone
have attempted to carry it into effect, and they,
therefore, are entitled to our credit when they pre-
pose further reductions. We observe, also, that
Mr. Hume is a firm believer in the good dispositions
of Ministers. At the dinner given to him in Gies-
gow, he observed, " That he believed the present
Ministry were ready to be operated upon by public
opinion, and it was the fault of the people if they
did riot take advantage of this dispwition. Nothing
has been effected without being lousily &Mantled
and if not demanded it never would be got." Mr.
Hume is a sanguine—a very sanguine man. He
bas becu tit his post in Parliament ever since be en-
tered it, inceesent in his endoontirs to arrest the ex.-
travugant expenditure of the public money, and yet
lie Oils the, people of Glasgow that " the taxes sire
as high as, ever t" that " the expenditure of the
army was nearly as great as in war." Still ho has
faith in the Duke of Wellington, and the followers
of Johanna Southeot are not more conlid" the
advent of their Shiloh, than he is the regeneration
to he effected through the Premier.

was a free driver, and declined payment. The Hon,
;Member then explained, at considerable length, the Parlia-
mentary exertions which had gained him the good opinion
of the people of Middlesex. He owed his success chiefly
to the middle classes. Had he depended on the higher he
would have had but a small chance. In the Session before
last, in opposing the standing army (which was larger than
it was in 1821), be bad stood in a minority of only ten ;
'and even, when be was supported by Mr. Maxwell and
other six. Was it not to be loudly deprecated, that while
incomes in general had fallen a half, the taxes should re-
main as high as ever ? The salaries which were raised
during the depreciation of the currency had not been re-
duced when money had regained its old value. This made
a difference in the price of food of thirty per cent. If
;there was any man present who thought the country could
-recover from its embarrassments without a large reduction
of taxes, he was very much mistaken. The large expen-
Aiture was kept up to gain the support of the Aristocracy.
The Duke of Wellington, if lie remained in office, must
'turn over a new leaf. The Duke was the man to check
the Aristocracy, if he was supported by the King. If he
would seriously set about retrenchment, he (Mr. Hume)
would like to see the Whig or Tory who would oppose him.
:the expenditure of the army was nearly as great as in
war. Out of 5,500 Officers, not above 500 had seen
actual service ; and promotions were kill going on. This
was another mode of giving pensions to the connections of
the Aristocracy. The King could not give a pension of
201,, without nn Act of Parliament, but he could make
and promote as many Officers as he pleased."
The Duke of Wellington was the man to cheek
the Aristocracy, if he was supported by the King I
Be it so. 13ut there are some awkward obstuelei
in the way, even,by the confession of Mr. Hume.

" The Aristocracy (he said) were never more dependent
on the Government than they now are ; and this estate,
which ought. to be living on their own properties, a check
on the rapid movement of either of the others, now shared
among its members a great portion of the taxes; which
Was not wonderful, when it was considered that they put
in a majority of the Members of the House of Commons,
who direct the appropriation of these taxes.—(Loud
cheers.) —lle attributed the situation of the country to
the prowess of these abuses. The House of Commons
was not the representatives Of the People, but servants to
the Lords, in levying and appropriating taxes, which
ought never to be larger than the actual wants of the Go-
vernment required. The country possessed the means of
making all happy, if it had proper guardians ; but not
having them, they see a great amount of taxes levied, to
support friends and connections, who ought to support
themselves out of their own properties.—(Cheers.)—lm•
pressed with these opinions, he had followed one course.
When he entered the House of Commons, the mode of
appropriating the revenue was not so well known as it is
now.—(Cheers.)—He soon found out the *buses which
arose from a trial-administration of the taxes levied on the
eountry—taxes which would not be required in a different
order of things. They were appropriated in pensions and
In sinecures, which were not required, and it was found
that most of these sinecuriate owed their places to Perna-
inentary influence, not to their talents or industry. The
only remedy was the lessening of the means of corruption.
The earnings of industry were taken to give to those who
did not deserve it, but who, in consequence, became the
More strenuous supporters of corruption. They were, in
fact, in a circle of corruption, and in it they would conti-
nue till the people stepped in and cut it.--(Cheers.)---
Every act of his had in view the lopping off, piecemeal,
if not by wholesale, this or that little stream of corrup-
tion, to lessen the wholesale effect of the fountain.—
(Cheers.)—He did not speak against individuals ; it was
the system he opposed. It was the system which made
these men what they are, and if others were put in their
place, let their ease and luxury be equally ministered to,
and he would wish to see the man who would decline it."

Those, then, who name the majority of the Mem-
bers of the House of Commons have an interest in
keeping the expenditure high, and Ministers can
only obtain the support of that majority, by conti-
nuing the large expenditure. The country celled
loudly for retrenchment last year, and obtained it
not. 'But it is possible that circumstances may lead
this year to that which could never before be ob-
tained. The Duke has a formidable opposition to
'encounter. In this country, whatever the views of
an Opposition are, the grounds of attack must al-
wept be liberal. To attempt to oppose..the measures
of a Ministry of mere aristocratical' pretensions;
would excite such general indignation throughout
the country, that if a Minister were to dissolve Par-
liament, they would gain in consequence greatly in
'the new elections. We take it for granted, then,
that the most exclusive and haughty Aristocrat that
ever entered the House of Commons, must at least
assume liberal pretensions. A Minister who can
count on the Sovereign, may follow the plan alluded
to by our contemporary (the Scotsman), of granting
as much as the Opposition would venture to ask. If
he were a hollow reformer he would thin the ranks
of the Opposition by letting the principal families
,know conlidentielly, that he should be obliged, in his
own defence, to adopt measures which would break
.down tha Aristocracy ; and that, therefore, it was
not for their interest to drive him into a corner. If
he were really inclined to retrenchment and reform,
he would allow the Opposition to commit themselves
'so far that they would be obliged, for the sake of
consistency, to push him on liberal measures. We
assume that the Ministers of. this country are almost
'always more liberal than Parliament-. Hence the well-
kuown expedient to which several Ministries have had
recourse of naming Committees, composed of the
most honourable and respectable lembers, to pros
pose savings, and thereby, sheme the other Mem-
bers out of an opposition to the Ministry when they
are proposed. But still, a Ministry, though gene-
rally better than Parliament, cannot be much better.
The advocates of economy in Parliament amount to
about twenty or thirty at most, and seldom divide
more than a dozen. The eagles must be fed. Mi-
eisters will always, we suspect, take care not to al-
low their virtue to carry them so far as to make
them risk losing caste. There is no making bricks
without straw ; no cutting -blocks with razors; no
making virtuous men nut of those who think only
'of their separate order. Mr. [headsmen, who had
nerves of iron, was able to make head against the
hatred borne to him by the aristocracy for his liberal
measures, which they viewed us sapping the foun-
Autions of the Corn Laws ; but how few men there
'are who would not have sunk under the trial. The
;extraordinary tenacity is not a quality on which we
ro.t3 at liberty to count. Most Ministers will'prefer
run easier course; the approbation of Parliament to
the.approbation of their consciences. The time is
litst. approaching when it Wlll:birsierewhether better
measures will be dealt out to the people in this than
in former Parliaments. Events have been teaching
114, and the country is more in earnest about reform
'than it was. It remains to be seen what Parliament
and Ministers are to be.—Morning Chronicle.

We regret to find that the opinion gains ground in
'Franee that the Ex-Ministers of Charles X., if con-
victed—arid of that there can be little doubt—shall
Assuredly suffer death on the scaffold. That their
crirne deserves this punishment we admit. We will
igo farther, and say, if treason ever deserved the axe,
thttir's does. Never was there a more wanton and
violent subversion of order than they committed, or
!one attended with more sanguinary consequences.—
The violation of oaths—the tearing asunder of the
Charter—the devoting the inhabitants of Paris to
military execution, for refusing to submit to their
outrageous decrees, and placing the destroying sword
in the hand of a King who bad sworn to keep invio-
late the chartered privileges of his subjects-....are of-
fences whilst:, whether we look at them in a political
'or moral point of view, admit of no palliation in the
eyes of stern justice. But a victorious people can
;afford to be merciful—and mercy is an attribute of
niagnanimity. When we look at the great events
.which have changed the destinies of France, and
,converted the extreme peril of a people into their
`imperishable glory, we confess that we wish the
sword of freedom, which has been sheathed in peace,
may not be drawn in vengeance ! We wish that
-blood which. has flowed in civil r:onflict may not be
`followed by fresh streams upon the scaffold. Nobly
littve the people shown their power—they have
i given tyrants a lesson of great revenge—now let
idiom teach them one of clemency; let them prove.
`that
..mercy is . not merely a part of the
iprerogative of Kings, but also sheds a serene aplerl.r
''dour round the giant-strength of a liberated people.
We speak of the people as the arbiter of the fate of
titeue great public delinquents, because it is said
that if the ex-Ministers are put to death it will be

in compliance with the popular desire for their ex-
ecution. Our Paris correspondent, in his communi-
cation in another part of our Paper of this day, says,
in adverting to the probabilitq of the infliction of
the capital punishment upon the Ministerial crimi-
nals," this alteration in the general belief (for the
contrary opinion prevailed some time ago) arises
from reports that documents involving Ministers in
horrid crimes by anticipation had been found in the
Government offices, but principally from the know-
ledge that the acquittal of the Ministers would, in all
human probability, lead to another revolt." As to the
acquittal of the Ministers who signed the ordonnances
which deluged the streets of Paris with gore, we
never contemplated the possibility of such an event.
If the Chamber of Peers acted so weakly or corruptly
as to acquit them for the purpose of saving their lives,
they would be unworthy ever again to exercise the
functions of a judicial tribunal—but we did think
it possible that their conviction might not be fol-
lowed by an exaction of the extreme penalty of the
law ; and we thought so because we hoped the
people of France would take a pride in having it
written in their annals that they not only offered the
most heroic resistance that ever a nation did to their
tyrants in arms, but that they gave as splendid an
example of mercy to their fallen oppressors. It would
add a lustre beautiful in the sight of humanity to the
victory which they have achieved, if the history
which shall record the exploits of their glorious
days of patriot conflict, shall also proclaim to
succeeding ages that, with the exception of the
life destroyed in actual combat, their political re-
demption was accomplished by a bloodless revo-
lution I Would we, then, have the state male-
factors protected from the visitation of the laws?
By no means—there are secondary punishments,
which, though not sanguinary, are yet of severe
example. To sentence Ministers, convicted of con-
spiring against the Constitution, to the (;allies,
would be novel, and calculated to make a great im-
pression on those who, being entrusted with the
sacred duties of Government, are disposed to break
through every barrier that religion, morality, and
justice, place in the way of sordid and profligate
ambition. As living instances of a just retribution,
Polignac and his accomplices would afford a more
impressive example of the consequences of gross
abuse of power, than if they perished by the hand
of the executioner. Thus incapable of further mis-
chief, and thus degraded, they would exhibit in
their fallen condition the ignominious servitude that
seems to be the most appropriate punishment for
the abuse of political power, while a magnanimous
nation, that conquered them in the midst of their
armed legions, would, in disdaining to shed their
miserable blood, gain a second and a noble triumph,
by treating them with contemptuous mercy !

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF SUICIDE.

On Saturday afternoon a lengthened inquiry took
place at the Rising Sun, Water-lane, Hackney, be-
fore THOMAS STIRLING, Esq., Coroner, touching
the death of Lawrence Johnson, of 15, Retreat-
place, Ilackney, late clerk to Messrs. Robert Flynn
and Co., anchorsmiths, at Shadwell, who committed
suicide.

Mr. Thomas Greenwood, of Aldgate, surgeon,
for the last twelve months had known the deceased,
who was in the habit of calling to see his assistant,
Mr. Watkins. On Wednesday evening he called
at witness's shop, and he then appeared dull, but not
unusually so. lie had two glasses of wine with
witness; and, on going away, he gave witness's
assistant a handsome silver snuff-box and a sovereign,
desiring him to take care of them until the follow-
ing morning. Witness did not then know that the
deceased was a married man,but he had since learned
that such was the fact, and that he was paying his
addresses to another female. On. Thursday morn-
ing witness went. out, and, upon returning, about ten
o'clock, he found his assistant greatly distressed, in
consequence of a letter received from the deceased,
dated from No. 15, Retreat-place, Hackney, though',
his residence with his wife was at Shadwell.

The witness then begged leave to read the letter,
but hoped that, as a young lady's. name was men-
tioned in it, who was highly respectable, and whose
family were in the most poignant grief, owing to the
misconduct of the deceased, it would be sufficient
only to call her by her Christian name-Eliza. The
letter was then read; it breathed sentiments of the
most ardent attachment to " Eliza," whom alone
the deceased said he could love ; that he had•been
unfortunately united to a woman with whom he was
miserable ; but that his previous marriage having
become known to Eliza's friends, they had ac4used
him of villany, and threatened to kill him; that he
was now miserable, and intended to destroy himself.
Mr. Thomas Robinson, of Green-bank, Wapping
—Knew the deceased, as clerk to Mr. Flynn. On
Tuesday he was at Mr. Flynn's country-house, at
Ilford, when that gentleman showed him some let-
ters which he found in his office, and said that he
was fearful his clerk was corresponding with a young
lady, which would be her ruin, and desired witness
to make some inquiries upon the subject. These
letters were from the young lady to the deceased,
proving a great attachment on her part, and that
she expected shortly to be united to him. The
witness knew the deceased to be married, and to
have two children ; besides having great reason to
believe that he had another wife and child in the
city. Upon seeing the young lady's (Eliza's) rela-
tives, heleurnt that the deceased and she were to
meet at a party of friends, on Wednesday evening,
and witness got himself invited to the party, that he
might the more effectually expose the deceased's
ittrocioutconduct. Accordingly the party met, and,
upon the deceased entering the room, witness, in
the hearing of them all, asked how he was, and how
his wife and children were ? The deceased be-
came agitated, and the young lady's relatives (she
'herself having been prevailed upon not to go to the
party) were extremely indignant. Iler uncle threa-
tened to shoot him; another gentleman was for
throwing him out of thicvindow viind witness, for
some time, kept the door to prevent his escape,
which he wished to effect; but at last he was al-
lowed to depart. The young lady was only 18
years of age. The deceased brought her from a
bearding-school to town, in a post-chaise, the pre-
vious Saturday, and on Tuesday he took her, her mo-
titer, and another friend, to take tea et his new house,
at Hackney, which was intended to be their future
residence. It was well furnished,
h,aisndu,,afgreosmwtelrieel
style of extravagance in which he lived, it was mys-
terious where ho found money, as
only 325. per week. He had been clerk to Mr.
Flynn for several years, iLid was much respected by
his employer, except as regarded his intrigues with
females, and Mr. Flynn had done all he could to
reclaim him. The deceased's wife was a very
amiable woman, but broken-hearted from his tyranny
and bad usage. A few days ago his wife, after
drinking some beer for supper, felt very ill, so much
so as to require the attendance of a doctor, and she
requested the deceased to go for one, but he re-
fused. One was sent for, however, and he found it
necessary to use the stomach-pump, -when ke gave
his opinion that poison had been given to her I Mr.
Robinson concluded his evidence by stating that, if
necessary, ho could relate many more cases, in which
the deceased had nearly succeeded in seducing
females. The Jury thought it WAS unnecessary, and
they were obliged to him for what he has stated.
The Jury, after a long consultation, returned a
verdict, " That the deceased poisoned himself while
in a sound state of mind."

The Colton:it then issued his warrant to bury
the deceased according to the Statute, without read-
ing the funeral service, and declared that all the
deceased's property was forfeited to the King', whose
collector would. immediately take possession of it.
The jitry.expressed their readiness to assist the
widow, who was {gently distressed, in petitioning
tha Lords of the reasury to allow her what the
deceased died possessed of,
