CONTAIN, AS USUAL,

£!IE LATEST PARLIAMENTAItY
INTELLIGENCE,

At the present period, when liberal principles are
riumphing in all parts of the world, it is in no wise
fitting that England, who has so long led the van of
liberalism, should in any degree relax in her exer-
tions in the great cause of progress and reform. On
the contrary, it is now more especially incumbent
epon us to exhibit fresh ardour and resolution, and
to emulate those struggles of philanthropy and free-
dom for which we have so constantly testified our
anreigned sympathy and aemiration. By an emula-
tion of those struggles we are far from intending to
signify an emulation of the republicanism of Paris, or
the revolutions of Germany. It is, however, the duty
of En;land now to emulate the liberal spirit
which has inspired those wonderful changes, and
to give very unmistakeable signs that her anxiety
in promoting popular liberty and reform is in no one
particular diminished. That liberal principles of the
most extreme, yet- withal temperate and loyal cha-
racter, exist to a peculiar extent in this country is
undisputed ; nevertheless, some especial manifestation
of their existence is just now wanting. Not such a
manifestation as that which last week alarmed the
Government and agitated the country, and the result
of which has overwhelmed the true champions of the
people with intolerable shame and indignation. Not
such a manifestation as that is now demanded of us,

ditional fruits. We are zealous for Reform, say we;
