and no more. Others again would repeal the Reforms
already made, call out the army, and cut down, a la
Peterloo, all who might venture to express this dissa-
tisfaction. Thus the possession of office is the one
thing sought for by the Tories, however they differ as
to the means of obtaining it—and while exulting
in the disunion of Reformers, save on this :subject,
there is as little unanimity amongst themselves. Ex-
traordinary sympathy is manifested by them for that
section of the Liberals which threatens to secede from
the Ministry and the main body of Reformers, unless
they pursue the exact line of march which it injudi-
ciously points out. The leaders of that section have
but little cause of exultation in the patronage which
their threatened defection has enlisted for them. The
adulation of the Tories should in itself be sufficient to
convince them of the impolicy of their conduct. We
believe that there are many individuals in that section
influenced by an indiscreet enthusiasm, and a natural
impatience of the aggravating check which has been
given to the progress of Reform ; but we believe also,
and we are pained to believe, that there are some
urged on by personal animosities, disappointed ambi-
tion, or underhand dealings with the Tories—and
while we regret the indiscretion of the former, we
must execrate the baseness and turpitude of the latter
—those traitors who care not what misfortunes they
entail upon the country, provided they gratify their
paltry malevolence, or their equally paltry ambition.—

The political curtain being about to draw up, pro-
grammata of the entertainments for the ensuing season
already begin to circulate. In Downing-street, as
sometimes occurs in other theatres where the nominal
managers happen to be noodles, an undue share of
power necessarily devolves on any one or more impu-
dent, forward, bustling, and intriguing personages
o n amo g the actors—those who are in general the
greatest scamps of the company—who vociferate and
bully, and keep the whole green-room in such an
uproar, that at length the choice of performances and
the cast of parts are, for peace-sake, left to their sole
dictation. The present " managers" of Downing-street
are creatures like those we have described. They are
patentees, moreover, of the Theatre-royal, though
merely from month to month. But so little conversant
are they with the political drama of the kingdom, and
so incapable of either leading or consulting the national
taste, that every piece they have yet brought out for the
last two years has been damned at the first represen-
tation. They have now, in pure despair, negotiated
with some of their own refractory performers to take
the management bodily out of their hands, they them-
selves still retaining their official salary and profits ;
while the other party, knowing what they are about,
agree to terms thus seemingly unreasonable, in the con-
sciousness that if they once get hold of the direction, they
will soon find means to send the presentfaineans out of
it. This is at last freely (perhaps somewhat unskil-
fully) announced to be the relation henceforth subsis-
ting between the nominal Ministers of the King, and
the real, though not yet official, rules of his Govern-
ment. A revolutionary newspaper of Thursday last
proclaimed, while a Ministerial hack of the same
evening and of yesterday repeated, what in effect
amounts to this—ihat the Whig placemen (we will
not libel them by the name of Ministers), finding
they can no longer play fast and loose with the ultra-
Radicals, but that the latter arc sick of being hourly
cheated out of their hopes of revolution, and for no-
thing, have consented to let the Radicals—English
and Irish—take their own course, in bringing for-
ward political measures, without the risk of being
—in any manner—opposed by the Whigs, as a Go-
vernment. On the contrary, the blockhead who as-
sumes to be, and we dare is, an evening organ
of the official Whigs, talks loftily about the natural
weakness of a mere popular faction, without the aid of
an Aristocracy, and actually affects to encourage the
fierce Radicals by promising that in their wildest and
most outlandish freaks they may now hope to have
Whig Ministers for their " leaders !"—revolutionary
Radicals led by baffled, mortified, cringing, trembling
Whigs of the Melbourne rump 1 I This out-hoaxes
history. Why, do these miserable coxcombs conceive
that the Radicals will accept them for " leaders" with
any view but first to laugh at them, and then shove
them by the shoulders into the nearest ditch ? Do
the Whigs so much as dream that the Radicals here,
or the Papists across the Channell, will tolerate even
their co-operation, otherwise than as vassals, while
they can perform the menial offices of revolution ? or
that they will spare them, more than they would so
many troublesome vermin afterwards? Theßadicals have
certain public objects to carry—pernicious ones, as
we think—frightful ones, as a little time will show
to these self-deceivers, that the British nation con-
sider them. But still they are not merely definite
purposes—they arc of a political, and, to Republi-
cans, of a legitimate nature. But what is the pur-
pose of the Melbourne Whigs ? Is it constitu
tional ?—is it political ? Unquestionably not. 1
simply personal ; and it is so far definite, in that
has never undergone the slightest change or modifica
tion. In 1834 it was—office. They refused an ap-
propriation clause to the Irish Papists, because they
fancied it would lose them more liberal and constitu-
tional votes in England than it would gain for them
' among the ultra-Radicals in both countries, because
there had yet been no coalition between the English demo-
crats_ and the O'Connell Tail, and because the Whigs,
as a party in the House, were strong enough to bid de-
fiance to the partisans of revolution. In 1835 the end
was—office. By the election consequent on the forma-
ton of Sir Robert Peel's Ministry, the Whigs lost
more than half their preceding strength. The Radi-
cals and Papists throve upon their plunder. The
Whigs could then exist as Ministers without the pro-
tection which they had before despised. They
bought O'Connell and the English Radicals by a
specific sacrifice of the Protestant Church of Ireland,
and by a general, though vague, assurance of "liberal"
measures in Great Britain. The appropriation clause,
withheld not nine months before, was coined by
these traitors into the price of a set of mercenaries
only less flagitious than themselves. But there were
wolves in England to be appeased, and adequate con-
cessions were not made to them in fulfilment of what
they had taken for pledges. The ballot, universal
suffrage, the extinction of the House of Lords, had
not been expressly stipulated, although they were
reckoned on under the Whig profession of " carrying
out" the Reform Bill, which indeed in the Radical
estimation seems to have meant nothing less than
throwing the monarchy out of the windows. Radi-
calism sulked full as much because the cravings of its
partisans had not been sopped, as because the march
of its principles had not been accelerated. The schism
became more serious every day. There was an arrival
from North America—an ill-omened arrival. The
object of the Whig Rump still being office, a fresh
bargain was made with the Radicals—the Whigs re-
tain their salaries. There will be some better pickings
for individuals of the Destructive' crew. The Mo-
narchy is once more to be the price of support from
them, and is to furnish, as before, the wages of Whig
prostitution. What in the beginning of 1835 was
vague, is now, at the close of 1836, to be specific.
The Ministers, as Ministers, will protect neither
Church nor Crown. Each Cabinet placeman will vote
as his own judgment, or want of it, may incline him.
It will serve to a given point the purpose of the Radi-
als that point once passed, they will kick their ab-
ject instrument down stairs. But the people of Eng-
' and will be beforehand with them both, and will take
that operation into their own keeping.—Times.

Segrave has seen a screw loose • and in what part it
may be of the crazy vehicle whose speedy overthrow he
foretels is of little consequence to us, or to the passen-
gers. Lord Segrave has been well taught, whoever
may have been his teacher. But he might have
gone farther. Whatever may be the prospect of
the return of the Tories to power there is a possibility,
there is a probability, there is an absolute certainty, of
the dismission of the Whigs from it. It never yet was
seen or heard that an Administration should continue
long to retain office, refusing to plaCe itself in the front
of either of the hostile parties which struggle in the
Parliamentary arena. We see two hostile parties mar-
shalled in this hour for the most momentous political
contest that ever Europe beheld. The one party would
abolish the House of Lords—would destroy the Church
Establishment—would introduce the ballot : the other
party would maintain the House of Lords—would
perpetuate the Church Establishment—would repu-
diate the ballot. Upon each and all of these three im-
portant questions the present Cabinet holds a language
which entitles it to the support of neither assailant nor
defender. It neither advances with the Leveller nor
resists with the Conservative. For a few weeks, or a
few months, it may trim and truckle by turns : to-day
conciliating the honest—to-morrow courting the base ;
here professing to be moderate—there affecting to be
firm ; soothing Sir Robert Peel with an " if," and
propitiating Mr. Hume with a " but." This cannot
last. The line of difference between the antagonist
opinions become daily more broad and plain ; and
daily the position of the statesman becomes more diffi-
cult and more laughable who would govern the country
without even a professed sympathy with either.—

Whereas our Parliament stands prorogued to Thursday, the
Bth day of December next, we, with the advice of our Privy
Council, do hereby publish and declare, that the said Parlia-

ber next, to Tuesday, the 31st day of January next ; and we

Kingdom called Great Britain, to prepare a commission for
proroguing the same accordingly; and we do further hereby,
with the advice aforesaid, declare our royal will and pleasure
that the said Parliament shall, on the said 31st day of January
next, assemble and be holden for the dispatch of divers urgent

Whereas it bath been represented unto us, by our Commis-
sioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral, that
considerable doubts have arisen on the interpretation of those
clauses of our royal proclamations, dated the 19th of March,
1834, and 3d of February, 1836, which direct that the said
proclamations shall take effect from the periods at which notice
thereof shall have been received in the several Courts of Vice-
Admiralty ; and that in many instances the distribution of
bounty for captured slaves is actually delayed in consequence
of such doubts ; and it bath been humbly submitted to us, by
our said Commissioners, that, in order to obviate the same, it is
expedient to assign a precise and uniform date at which each of
the said proclamations, of 1834 and 1836, are respectively to
take effect: We do, therefore, by and with the advice of our '
Privy Council, think fit to issue this our royal proclamation,
hereby directing, that distribution be made by the scale autho-
rised in our said proclamation, dated the 19th of March, 1834,
with regard to the proceeds of all captures made within its
scope, which shall have been, or shall be, condemned in the
High Court of Admiralty, in any Vice-Admiralty Court, or
any Court of Mixed Commission, from and after the Ist day
of August, 1834, inclusive ; and hereby further directing, that
distribution be made according to the scale authorised by our
proclamation dated the 3d of February, 1836, in regard to
the proceeds of all captures made within its scope, which shall
have been, or shall be, condemned in any such courts as afore-
said, from and after the Ist day of July, 1836, inclusive ; save
and except, that in cases of distributions already made, the
proceedings therein are not to be subject to revision, as being
in any way vitiated by this our royal proclamation.
Given at our Court at Brighton, this 13th day of Novem-
ber, in the year of our Lord 1836, and in the seventh year of
our reign. God save the King.
