GOODWOOD RACES.

Tatuasnar.—ln every respect the Meeting' has more
than realized all that had been promised—the company has
been numerous, and of the first rank, the sport of the &o-
rate description, and the weather, with the exception of
the first day, exceedingly favourable—the improvements
effected in the race•coto se have made it the most com-
plete in this part of the country—the wall that formerly
separated it from the wood has been raised, and the new
grandstand has been erected on a site which affords a better
view of the running—the building cost *early 7,000/., and
decidedly the 'most compact and elegant stand fin- its
size that we have seen. The races this afternoon did nut
possess touch interest, nor curs the attendance by any
means so numerous as on either of the preceding days.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

The Ex-Kieg of Franco and his family proceed
slowly to the coast, though their steps are, we infer
from the French Papers, to be now somewhat accele-
rated; while the legislative bodies proceed, with
temper anti regularity, in the settlement of the king-
dom. The new oath to observe the Charter could
not be tendered to the Deputies from the accidental
want of the previous notice required by the forms of
the Chamber; but it was tendered and taken by
the Peers generally. We respect the conscientious
scruples of the Peer who declined it, yet it must be
observed that his doing so is a proof that he is not
under the pressure of fear. This Peer, M. Dam-
bray, the late Chancellor, is the only one who has
yet declined to take the oath. The Duke de Fitz.
James took the oath, after a speech which affected
the Chamber in the most sensible manner, and by
which some impression also must be made upon the
city of Paris and the country. The printing of the
speech being required, other Peers qualified their
mobs with expressions of regret, or a summary of
their motives. The oath, however, was taken by
102 members (all, with the exception of M. Dam-
bray, who were present) of the Upper House, among
whom were many ultra-Royalists, One of the
Liberal Papers—we think without sufficient reason—
quarrels with the oath. It is thus conceived—" I
swear to be faithful to the King, to obey time con-
stitutional charter, and the laws of the kingdom,
and to conduct myself in all respects like a good
and loyal Peer of France." This is the old oath, it
is true, and may probably be altered ; but it is ge-
nerally applicable to the new state of things : at
least we should suppose that the veriest Jesuit that
ever lived could not pretend, that having taken such
an oath, lie had not bound himself to be faithful to
the new system, The first attempt to create dis-
satisfaction with the proceedings in France has been
made in the BatOtiall land of Holland. Some of the
French fugitives probably have got possession of a
Dutch Paper, and are therein endeavouring to ex-
cite the King of the Netherlands to do they know
not what against the French patriots. His Majesty
is by far teo sensible a man to engage in such an en-
terprise. He may view, as others do, the lot of the
miserable Charles Capet amid his fumily with sor-
row,—that is he may regret that they have been
such unprincipled fools, but he cannot but see that
their chastisement is merited.. The truth is, that if
the late King of France had succeeded for a while
in his treacherous attempt, the Sovereigns of Europe
ought to have combined to chase him from his
throne for violating the charter, and thus making
theßoyal office despised and abhorred all over the
world, to the disturbance of every nation, as well us
the danger of every throne.—Times,
We call the attention of our readers to an account,
in another column, of the fate of a requisition to
the Lord Mayor, presented yesterday by Mr. Richard
Taylor, the Common Councilman, and two other
citizens, requesting his Lordship to call a meeting
of the inhabitants, in order to give them an oppor-
tunity of expressing their* congratulations at the
triumph of Constitutional Liberty in France; their
admiretion of the courage anti moderation with
which the struggle has been conducted by the brave
citizens of Paris ; and to promote a subscription
for the wounded, the widows, and the orphans of
the sufferers. Hie Lordship said he entirely ap-
proved of an expression of public opinion, of the na-
ture of that stated in the requisition) but he felt a
difficulty in giving his official sanction to it. The
majority of the stamen attached to the requisition
was, it appears, of citizens of high respectability,
who do not mutiny come forward on ordinary poli-
tical occasions. We understand that the requisi-
tionists have determined to call a meeting at the
London Tavern on Monday next, at' twelve o'clock.
It was stated, in the course of conversation, to the
Lord Mayor, that the subscriptions were going on
well at Liverpool, Manchester, and other places; and
that a letter had just been received, stating that at
Edinbingh a requisition was in progress, and had
been signed by persona of opposite parties. We

eembleesin this country the people of property begin
stri.length to plottivti that they are at the mercy of a
set of till4mendicsfits, who, by means of what is
sietsed repretteetstion, have been enabled to
tax the people fir their own separate benefit, to
squiteder the easliees of itelitetry, and mortgage our
future resources. A ;Hinted placard has been trans-
mitted to us, containing a list of 100 sons of Peers,
who sat in the Lower house in the lust Perlin-
meet. It is observed, "if the Lords are permit-
ted to usurp the place of the Commoners m time
Lower house, it necessarily reduces the number of
parts (of our Constitution) to two only, viz,—King
and Lords. The List of Lords, and sues of Peers,
plainly ,shows what incroachments are making on
this Constitutional part of our Parliament ; for, in
addition to time annexed list of sons of Peers who sat
in the late House of Commons in time late Parlia
ment, we mtmst add the numbers of Commoners who
are returned for Boroughs belonging to Peers, and
who likewise are under the controul of their Petrol's."
Time Peers are lit fact the Constitutiou of England,
for all who are able to command returns are instant Ie
transferred to the Upper House. The interest of
the Peers in the country is chiefly based on the spoil
of the rest of the community, for the share of private
property possessed by the order bears no proportion
to time amount of money which they draw from the
public in a hundred ways. No estitnete of time pri-
vate property of the House of Peers has ever made
it at more than between two and three millions a
year. But without speaking of Church livings,
Crown lands, sinecures in colonises not appearing
any public account, ,55,000,000/. per ammum, ex-
tracted from the pockets of the people of this
highly taxed country, eve at the disposal of this
Aristocracy. Never sitice the beginning of the world
was a people so ground down by burdens of all sorts
as the people of England are gromid down. The
55,000,0001. a, year, too, are far from hieing soy-
thieg like the whole of the taxes wrung from the
people, as every citizen well knows to his cost,
when ie turns up time various rates levied on him—
some in the shape of direct money taxes, others as
tithe*, mixed up with the price of his food. So
Wig as the House of Peers retains its present us-
f.'"l"oY, so long must this profligate expenditure
ire COntinutd. There must be a rairon rzilli,ranie
for the vote of every member of the body. They
are
accountable only to themselves, and it would be
*ingtar:r if they seers to be over-scrupulous in re-
wi"dinft themselves. Let us bear always ill mind

the burdens of the people -who had no comaliteit;eria
tion for the productive demise—have for the must
part Nen thrown out, in ape of all the left„„nee and

arise to improve the diameter of those old Mainbers
kitntilad t() 6lme new ralliaintiit, who supportee In

the last the system of profusion. They must look
on the ejection of so many thick-and-thin voters as
a warning not to be despised. The salvation of the
country depends on the protection of the productive'
classes from the fangs of the Aristocracy. We are
happy to learn that more union and combination is
about to be devoted to this all-important object than
heretofore. It is understood that certain Members
of the new Parliament, staunch advocates for
inquiry, economy, and reform, are taking mea-
sures to insure a greater earnestness of pur-
pose, and unity of action, than have been
yet known in Parliament. One of the means
to be adopted, is a systematic arrangement of the
votes on every question on which there may be a
division; and whenever this arrangement exhibits a
laxity of attention on the part of any Member, ap-
peals will be made to his constituents to call on him
either to resign or to fulfil more conscientiously the
trust reposed in bitn. Members of Parliament ought
not to consider the House of Commons a place of
ainusement, to which they may repair when they
have no other more agreeable engagements on hand.
They are, or ought to be, the deputies of the people.
The old Aristocratical insouciance must be grappled
with. A. rock is perforated in time by successive
drops of water. Successive efforts on the part of
the people must be rewarded with good results.—
Let no man despair. The Representation of Eng-
land is not, like that of France, an organ of the
people; but the late elections show how much the
people may gain by perseverance. A great moral
lesson has been read to the Aristocracy, as well as
to Ministers.—Morning Chronicle.
If the journal culled the Nederlandsche Gedach-
ten, in commenting upon the political affairs of
France, speaks the sentiments of the House of
Orange, we must say that the principles of rational
freedom of which that family were once the zealous
and heroic defenders, have perished from among the
race who reflect no credit upon their glorious an-
cestry--sentiments worthy of the Escurial, or the
College of the Propaganda, come with an ill grace
from the descendants of William Me Silent, whose
illustrious life was devoted to the establishment of
civil and religious liberty. Such were not the senti-
ments that called to the throne of Great Britain n
member of that family under similar circumstances
to those which have elevated the Duke of Orleans
to a supreme rank in a Constitutional Monarchy, by
that which confers the noblest of all titles—the
choice of a free people. It is curious enough that
the family of Orange should now entertain those
opinions of government which deservedly caused
James the Second to be driven from the throne
of his ancestors, and broke the line of here-
ditary succession in favour of a stranger, whom
the public voice called in as a deliverer But !
this is not the first indication that we have had
of the tyrannical doctrines of the King of the
Netherlands. The prosecutions in which he
has been for some time past engaged against the
Press become a crowned monk better than a Pro-
testant
King. The paper in question tells him that
he ought to " oppose, with all the means that Di-
vine Providence has given him, any change being
made in the form of Government, and, If ordinary
means will not suffice, the King would have a right
to resort to extraordinary means to maintain the
Charter and the laws." It is obvious what is meant
by this, though it might be more clearly expressed.
If the King of the Netherlands feels conscious that
he has been doing a great deal to provoke his sub-
jects to revolutionary acts, the best way to effec-
tually oppose any thing like a revolutionary spirit is
to take into his own hands the task of political im-
provement and amelioration. Thus will be disarm
the democrat she dreads—thus will he render power-
less the spirits that ride on the storm of popular
commotion, and bind all classes of his people by
the indissoluble bonds of an affectionate allegiance
to a constitutional throne. Let him act otherwise,
and it will avail him nothing that he bears a name
which once acted like a spell upon the hearts of
those who felt it a holy duty to resist oppression.—
Morning Herald.

France appears to be fast settling down into a
state of quiet and repose; and the intense interest
which her peculiar and novel situation excited is
daily subsiding. But it is curious to observe the
very opposite views which different persons take of
the momentous events which have just occurred ;
though they all agree in this—that they are calcu-
lated to give a fresh impetus to human thought, and
that their effects are likely to be long and power-
fully felt throughout the whole political structure of
Europe, though, for very obvious reasons, less, per-
haps, in England than elsewhere. We fund one
party contending that the success of the popular
cause will produce every where a restless desire of
change, totally destructive to all regular Govern-
ment. This party consists of persons who are the
' friends of what has beers happily termed [he repres-
sive system, and who object to every change, on the
ground that it roust necessarily he opposed to the
collected wisdom and experience of former ages, and
who appear with the most perfect seriousness, still
to acknowledge,

I. The right divine of Kings to govern wrong."
We have another party, who, though not so nume-
rous in this country us in some of the Continental
States, are now speculating on the establishment of
Republics and universal equality, to the subversion
of all Regal and Aristocratic power. These persons
contend that the present system of European politics
is a monstrous composition of Kingeruft and priest-
craft, and an unwarrantable domination of the privi-
leged few over the wronged end insulted nanny.—
We consider both these parties to have been equally
the enemies of true liberty, and equally the retarders
of human improvement ; and we think we shall not
be hazarding much when we assert that the real
friends of liberty and social order will be found to
steer a middle course between these two parties,
whose principles are so diametrically opposed to
each other. Since, then, it is universally acknow-
ledged that to reduce Europe to its former state,
and to re-establish arbitrary power, unaccountable
to any human jurisdiction, is impossible (for, before
this can be effected, the recollection of what has
taken place during the last 40 years must be buried
in oblivion, and what has been done merit be ren-
dered as if it had never been ; which is beautifully
expressed by the Roman poet to be impossible in
the eye of reason—
Non tauten ;nitwit,
Quoticunque vetro fait, ellieiet, mine
Diflingst ilifeetutnque retitle,
Quail logien* semel bora vexit)—
and sines France has just shown to the world, in the
Clearest colours, that to keep the people in ignorance
must 60011 be impossible, or to preserve authority by
military Coercion must, ere long, be equally itopractis
cable—let us hope that this useful lesson will not be
thrown away on the Monarchs and rulers of Europe.
Let them understand that it remains for them to
take the cause of freedom and Immunity out of the
hands of political enthesiasts, and of needy and des-
perate utiventurers, by promoting judicious reforms,
and estentling the iafluence of knowledge and edu-
cation. Let them, finally, instead of endeavouring
to compel a slavish anti insecure obeditmee, do what
is far easier—establish a constitutional authority,
which Own be founded on the affections and good
sense, 'instead of on the fears and ignorance, of their
subljects ; taut in which the rulers and the ruled may
easily discover their identity of interests.—Morning
Ikrald.

The present contest in Essex affords a striking
specimen of the mischievous and 1111110114 mode of
now carrying on county elections. Fifteen days are
alio-wed by law for taking the poll, which may gene-
rally ho considered as so many days devoted to cot-
ruption, excitement, and expense ; whereas, were
the poll, in addition to the county town, taken on
op) and the same day, or, at most, in tw o or three
11 y?, in every par►sh or hundred, the whole of the
Icriet,e4ohttehri:tirw,tcneld.hav,e a fair opportunity of exer-
el un INWAnieo candidates would be

no longer deterred or ruined by inordinate expenses,
and something like free and unbiassed suffrages
might be expected to be obtained.— 4forn. Hera/d.
Philip 1., the King of the French, is proceeding,
if we may judge from the reports sent forth in such
abundance by his supporters, ii grand train, and in
the true republican style, to the abolition of every
thing in the shape of monopoly or exclusive privi-
lege. There are, for example, to be no longer any
lords in waiting, as wider the ancient regime—no
formal introductions, except four times a year, when
the King will hold a great Court, and receive with
every possible form the Diplomatic Body, the Chiefs
of the Army and Magistracy, the Peers and the
Deputies—no ceremony except such as might be
used by the first gentleman in France—no ridiculous
requirements in point of dress, vestibules, and ante-
chambers I What would Louis XIV. say to such a
profanation of his system of tinsel, and frippery, and
mock dignity ?—But this is not all. The new King
is not wily to conduct himself in every respect as a
private gentleman; but even what may be con-
sidered the private property of the Crown, is to be
as free as the air they breathe to his subjects. The
Grand Master of the Stag-hounds is to be dismissed
--the stag-hound establishment to be broken up,
and the Royal chases to be let by auction for the
benefit of the State I The times have been when
we might have justly feared that such extraordinary
changes in Court demeanour would produce an evil
influence at home; but as it is, these changes could
not have happened at a more auspicious moment,
or at one when they could produce less effect than
at present. Our Gracious Sovereign, without
affecting the republican simplicity of Philip I. is, in
every respect, as popular, and bids as fair to attract
the love and veneration of his subjects. He is ac-
cessible to all who have any just claims upon his
attention ; while, in point of dignity in bearing,
when dignity is required, and a desire to improve
the condition of the country, he yields to none. On
the people of Spain, Austria, and the Netherlands,
the changes at the Court of Philip I. may be pro-
ductive of uneasiness—here they fall us harmless as
any which might happen at the Court of the King
of the Ashantees.—Morning Advertiser.
The Essex election is now almost the only one in
this part of the country which excites particular
notice; and even it would have been looked upon
with considerable indifference, but for the vigour
with which the contest is carried on, and the strong
doubts which bang over the result. Of the three
candidates Mr, Western is the best known to the
public, as well as the most advantageously. He has
invariably acted with independence and spirit as a
Member of Parliament, and we should regret ex-
ceedingly that any foolish conduct on the part of
his Committee should compromise his election. It
is alleged, however, that a coalition has taken place
between those who support his pretensions, and
those who are in the interest of Colonel Tyrell;
and this step, to say nothing worse of it, was not
only ridiculous, but exhibits an apparent want of
political principle, which is operating strongly
against Mr. Western; for Colonel Tyrell is a
thorough Tory, and with his supporters those of
Mr. Western ought to have had nothing to do.
Had a near coincidence in political feeling justified a
coalition with either of the candidates, Mr. Welles-
ley was the man with whom Mr. Western and his
supporters ought to have sided;
is all can b
for formeer
gotnot
only professes—and re
at present—every principle for which the latter is a
stickler, but even goes beyond him, by declaring that
he is a reformer, both in the representation of the
people, and in our financial concerns I We know
not what the freeholders of Essex may do; but they
will stultify themselves if they return either Mr.
Western and Colonel Tyrell, or Colonel Tyrell and
Mr. Wellesley. Both will vote in opposition to
each other ; and the vote of the one, in consequence,
nullify that of the other. Such returns have not
been unfrequent ; but it would puzzle a wiser than
Solomon to discover the advantage that would ac-
crue from them.--Morning Advertiser.
