LONDON:
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1811,

The Parliament stands prorogued till Novem-
ber 11th. The Ministry have refused to allow
that body to consider and redress the injuries it

inflicts on the public. Be it so. It does not,
therefore, follow that those injuries are not to be
redressed. The nation is not without help be-

cause Dr. PEEL, after having taken his fee, will

not prescribe. Constitutionally and legally the
Parliament is the offspring of the people's
choice, and intended to do the bidding of their
sovereign will, and the power which constitutes
a Parliament can be neither legally, constitu-
tionally, nor physically incapable of redressing

its own wrongs because the instrument it has
• chosen for the purpose refuses to perform its
duties. The people are not to starve because it
suits the convenience of Sir It. PEEL to pro-
rogue the Parliament. We, however, are glad
it is dismissed, as that will convince the people
they must rely on their own resources.
The Speech with which her MAJESTY'S Mi-
nister prorogued the Parliament is before the
public. According to the custom of those who
will have their own way, it gives no other reason
for proroguing Parliament than " that it appears
advisable to her Majesty ;" poor lady! she never
was consulted about it; her masters wish to get
rid of the annoyance of receiving petitions and
remonstrances, therefore to prorogue the Par-
liament appears advisable to them, and there-
fore it is prorogued.
It seems hardly worth while solemnly to tell
the two Houses that a new Ministry has been
-
formed, which is the substance of one-fourth of
the Speech, when that has been known these
three
weeks ; but Royal Speeches generally con-
sist only of such nothings solemnly uttered.
the meaning language used by
Now different is
the American President. Every sentence he
-
writes is necessary and useful. Evil counsellors
lately beguiled him to give a half consant to a
Bill establishing a fiscal agent, or a national bank
cling sed under another name, contrary to his
.ili
own views of what the Constitution prescribes.
He discovered his mistake before it was too late,
length for his conduct,
he giving his reasons at
_ by
he vetoed the Bill. He provedhis up-
Tight conduct that his office and his
power were not fictions, or mummeries, esta-
blished to enable a faction to lord it over the mil-
lions, but realities and truths, whether his powers
were wrongly or rightly exercised. When we
contrast the Speech of her MAJESTY'S Ministers
at this important phasis of the condition of Eng-
land with President TYLER'S Alessage to Con-
gress, we blush to think that Englishmen should
now allow themselves to be mocked and fooled
by empty fictions.
After the Ministers had thanked the House of
Commons for the supplies which the Ministers
and their men voted, those Ministers tell us that
Parliament will have to equalise the public in-
come and expenditure, which •is another circum-
stance almost as well known as that PEEL is in
office. They use the following language •
The measures which it will be expedient to adopt for
the purpos,e of equalising the Public Income and the
Annual Expenditure,
an, other important objects con-
nected with the Trade and Commerce of the country,
will necessarily occupy your attention at an early period
after the Recess.
What would COBBETT, were he alive, say to
this paragraph ? Are trade and commerce dif-
ferent and distinct things? Certainly not; and
