Wit.cannot too often cull the attention of the
inhabitants of the Manufacturing Districts to the
subject of the Corn Bill, in the repeal of which
they, of alt classes of consumers, have the deepest
interest. Mr. Whitmore announced that.itwas
hisinteotion to bring the quesion forward next
SE.l4siori, provided the Government declined to
take' it Bow Ministers, with the principles
respecting free trade, which they have avowed,
can remain any longer passiire, without acknow-
ledging themselves regardless of every thing like
consistency, we are at a loss conceive. But
whether Mr. Whitmore or Ministers agitate the
,quusti•on, it is the duty of the inhabitants of the
'Manufacturing Districts to exert themselves in
'preparing petitions, that the weight of a numer-
ous and respectable body of citizens may give,
weight to the appeal to the Legislature. Of all
the measures ever adopted by the Legislature
the :suceessive Corn Bills reflect the greatest
, diSArnce on it. That the privileged class should
.to monopolize the offices of which the
dotes are the lightest and the emoluments
the highest—to supply Proconsols from their
body for the different dependencies—and
,to, touch a tolerable share of the revenue,—is all
very natural, and people are so used to the thing,
that when they hear that Lord this, or the Bo.'
Hoorah's! :11r. that, i 9 appointed to some lucrative
situation, •they never even think of inquiring
w hetl►nr talents of any kind be possessed in ad-
dition to the Parliamentary interest. If the Le-
gislature had even voted two or three thousand
additional sinecures, worth a cool thousand or
two each, it would have been a trifling matter.—
•Ilut the Corn Bill was a barefaced robbery of
;the people of twenty or twenty-five millions
a. year, of which not more than a fifth part en-
tered the pockets of the Landholders, the re-
ir4sinder being pure destruction of property. The
`conduct of :Judge, who accepts of a bribe to
:pronounce au unjust sentence, is deservedly re-
probated ; but what is the sin of such a Judge,
compared with that of a Legislature, which legis-,
fates wits ts view to enrich its own members at the
expellee of the pockets of the rest of the commu-
nity ? The Judge is only. unjust in those parti-
cular-cases in which he has been bribed ;—in all
the cases in which he has not been bribed, he
tvill'•iiaturally decide impartially ; but the men-
sisre of the Legislature is universal in its opera-
tion, and perpetuates injustice week after week,
and year after year. The odium, tlhe•refore,
s'ihich ought to attach to every attempt on the
part of Legislators to transfer the property of
others to themselves, ought deservedly to be
much greater than that which attaches to the
Judge who merely commits injustice in particular'
cases to enrich himself.

It is asserted that a recent dispatch from Sir
C. Stuart has brought some higt'tly interesting ex,
ulanations, furnished by the French Government,
relative to the proceedings of its active iklioister
in Portugal, 111. Hyde de Neuville. It may be
a delicate matter to touch upon official facts ;
but what we receive from respectable authority
.our 'readers- are entitled On all occasions' to
know. The statement affirms that M. Hy&
de Neuville, during the late tempostuous scenes
it! Liston!, undertook to assure his Most Faith.
ful Majesty, that If ho felt himself in any
,(lauger, the Cahinet of the Tuileries would
authorize hint (the Ambassador) to summon
a hotly of French troop', which Were at
.great distance from the Portuguese fron-
tier, to his protection. Had AI. Hyde de Neu-
ill,- made such an offer by the command of his
:.Court, and had it bcen eveutually actetl on, a
case might have arisen in which England, from
rely defensive considerations, would have been
:Ili 't to.adopt some measures of more that! com-
moo energy. As the thing stands, an avowal of
their intentions appears to have been demanded
front.. the House of Bourbon, when it wits de,'
.clated that M. Hyde de Neuville had exceeded

had no desire to interfere. It is now believed
that the. efforts of our Government wilt be con-
;fined to a moderate increase of the thithher of
marines onboard 'ate British 'men of war on the
Lisbon.station ; and before Ministers conclude

jerity secure against domestic disturbance,

We have had the gratification to see in some
of the last files of Papers from the United States,
that the people of North America do full justice
to tire Ultima policy pursued towards. the Nov
Co,.erninents of the South by this country. This
cirr Anstance affords us the highest pleasurp, he-
cause from the rtoximate knowledge which the
North Americans possess of the wants and wishes
of the former colonies of Spain, aml front the
rued of rivalry with us in meeting those wants
arid ttihes,' which they have hitherto run, it is
oltvimks that they not only enjoy the best oppor.
unity of judging correctly on the subject—hut
that self-interest would never have allowed
them to declare tire extent and value of
1 ngtr'dr fvlPothitip, already conferred on iheir
southern neighbours, unless the fact extortd as
well as bore out the testimony. We may likewise
observe that it is only, a' middle Power, such
as the United States, and looking right and left
on the conduct of this country, and the effects
of that conduct on South America, which is in a
position to .estimate both it»partially, and fully.
What, then, are the ionfission3 which we dis.
cover in the Journals referred to ? First, that
the. Brit's). Government lies tbevotir'v exclusive
a toinhiped attack
1704 of having prevented
immediately after the late outrage oil the .penin,
sale, from Spain, France, and the
South
generally, upon the independence of

America. Nor is it disguised, that but for our
manly and energetic interposition to avert that
calamity, the long-continued and glorious
achievements of the Patriots would sooner or
later have been overthrown, and Spanish tyranny
re-established throughout a whole hemisphere.
So much upon the most important point of all.—
Could any Minister have earned higher fame
than Mr. Secretary Canning has acquired by this
at once splendid, permanent, and bloodless
triumph in the cause of civil and religious freedom,
as well as that of national honour and prosperity ?
In the next place, the Journals of the United
States acknowledge the superior talents of all
the foreign agents of this country employed on
the foregoing service. The Consuls General,
and Commissioners, &c. which we have sent to
South America are stated to be better qualified
and more successful than the persons similar-
ly accredited by the United States itself.—
Thirdly, the most flattering description is
given of the vast commercial advantages which
we have already derived from our intercourse
with tl:e former possessions of Spain ; and the
harvest which may ultimately be expected from
the care, skill, and assiduity with which we are
at present cultivating that immense field of en-
terprise and wealth, is spoken of in terms of
mingled astonishment and awe. What more
could we have, or could we desire? The mere
form of recognition is all that remains, and while
that is delayed we possess nearly all the substan-
tial gbod such a step can confer. The aim and
tendency indeed of our late policy manifestly
have been to obtain every fair benefit which we
could, without taking that final decision, and by
this course both to render the transition to an
absolute acknowledgment of the independence
of the new Governments easy as well ns inevita-
ble, at the same t ime that the mother countryos he.n.
ever we took that determinate measure, would
thereby neither suffer any real loss itself, nor have
any just cause of complaint or quarrel with us. If
any thing can add to the satisfaction which the
preceding circumstances are calculated to produce,
it is the reflection that the people of this country
feel and appreciate to the utmost the great talent
and address with which Mr. Secretary Canning
has throughout protected and advanced their
interests in this difficult and momentous proceed-
ing. No Minister perhaps ever enjoyed more
unlimited public confidence than this great States-
man does at present, or ever more deserved to
enjoy it.

PR Ess.:l
The Brussels Papers of Saturday reached our
office last night. The report of the Prussian Mi-
nister of Police, respecting the secret associations
of Germany, is, it appears, to be followed by
the arbitrary punislunent of some of the students
who are marked out as the intended victims of
the fears, real or pretended, of the Prussian
Government. We observe, that Muller, the
student in divinity, whose arrest is ordered,
is charged st ith no specific offence, but situ.
ply us a member of the secret association. Ile be.
longed, probably, to the reading societies, in which
the Spanish Constitution was discussed. Let us
hear no more of the excellence of the simple
dEspotism of Prussia, as contrasted with the in.
conveniences resulting from the complicated laws
of a limited monarchy, like that of England.
We can patiently endure all the evils that flow
from that source, when we reflect that we are
not liable, at the will of a Police Minister or Se.
cret Commission, to he suddenly seized, and
buried for the remainder of our days in the hide.
ous fortresses of Custrin and Magdeburg.
