YORK

(From the Yorkshireman.)
We have this week to record an event which has created a most
thrilling sensation throughout the kingdom—and justly so, as inde-
pent lently of the astonishment inevitable upon its sudden and unex-
pect, xl occurrence, it is fraught with the most important come-
quen, ;:es to the nation,—involving as it does, or threat( ns to do, an
absolt te inversion of the principles upon which the country has
been fo. r the last four years governed,—a change no less than that
from lit, ralism to its antipodes, Toryism. To the astonishment and

dismay of by far the greater portion of the community hig
Ministry have been suddenly dismissed, and their constßi -
pouents, the Tories, have been recalled to the councils of-% e
King, under the wing of their leader, the Duko of WC.1111,8-
ton, who four years ago was compelled '• to, relincCi thel'
helm of the state, on account of hlt--declaration' • r,-• •rm
Strong indeed must be the infatuation, liidicleep.tlie-Witgiier of the
party who could allow themselves to be led on seilleapal a contest,
ahieL can issue only in their discomfiture and defeat. We area
wholly at a .1
to account for the movement, upon principles re-
nu
concileable with C.'non sense; and we are forced to recur to a
declaration made by the nuke of Wellington on a former occasion,
*it of taking upon himself the
that he would be mad if he `bought
office of Prime Minister. We wol.:14 ask, now, is the noble Duke,
or are his party in their sound senses? If it were madness for-
merly, it is doubly so now, to attempt goverm:ng this country upon
Tory principles.

BERWICK.
(From the Berwick Advertiser.)
We already perceive that the Times—the foul slanderer of Henry
Brougham—the mighty broad sheet of Truckleborough Square—is
truckling round to his Grace of Wellington ; and its defence of the
Duke is an interpretation of its hitherto mysterious abuse of
Brougham. We loathe and hate the time-servers, who for the sake
of lucre would become the lick-spittle of Beelzebub himself. The
people, however, have a plain and straightforward duty to
perform. Let them immediately meet in every county, in every
town, and in every parish throughout the country. And in addi-
tion to this, if Wellington do not dissolve the Parliament, then let
each constituency address its representative or representatives,
pointing out to them the path which they expect them to pursue,
and if they refuse to comply, call upon them to resign—and if he
dissolve Parliament, then let the reformers in every county, city
and borough make common cause—let there be no division in
their ranks—let reform committees be instantly appointed—let them
vote forno man but such as will give distinct and positive pledges—
for pledges are now necessary—general professions are good for
nothing—and let them have committees to watch over the common
enemy. Do not permit a day to pass without commencing the
good work. Again we repeat " Britain expects every man to do
hi duty," Let your cry be—" Durham and Reform !" and for
the present we only add—" To your tents 0 Israel !"

EDINBURGH.
(From the Scotsman.)
THE TIMES.-We were pretty sure that the. Times' abuse of the
Chancellor was symptomatic of a real though unavowed change in
its political creed, and its language in Monday's number confirms
our suspicions. It speaks of the assurances it has from respectable
quarters of the Duke of Well:ngton's intention to conduct his admi-
nistration on liberal principles I and pleads against prejudging him
and his colleagues—prejudging a host of persons, whose acts and
speeches for twenty years are vouci:?rs for their hostility to all re-
form ! The Times has made a bolt, as ;* is technically termed, and
the true motive of its malignant attacks on the Chancellor is now
obvious. The blows directed against that individual wer.! I.( ally
aimed at the Ministry.

GLASGOW.
(From the Scots Times.)
Citizens of Glasgow !—On the 2d of Nov:Tr-ober, 1830, the
Duke of Wellington proclaimed aloud to Britains, that as long as
he held any station in the Government of the country he should
resist every measure of Reform. Since he utterci these memo-
rable words, he has fulfilled his declaration to the letter. He has
resolutely opposed every reform, however limited its nature, how-
ever loudly demanded by justice or by the voice of the nation.
Citizens of Glasgow ! l'His MAN IS Now YOUR RULES! Are
you prepared to expunge the Reform Bill from the Statute Book
Then look tamely on the scene before you—the work of destruction
is already begun—a few weeks hence, that charter of your liberties,
now in the hands of its sworn foes, may be merely matter of his-
tory ! The toils, the dangers, the achievements of 1832, must be
fresh in your recollection—are you now ready to sacrifice all the
fruits of those memorable exertions to Tory intrigue? Acquit
yourselves like men who appreciate the importance of the great
stake now at issue. Be true to yourselves, your country, and your
principles, and the contest can neither be long nor doubtful.
Above all, Fellow-Citizens and Reformers, we beseech you now to
forget all minor differences of opinion—to banish all petty jealousies
—to concentrate all your energies against the common enemy. We
counsel no violence—we deprecate every thing like precipitation or
rashness. The crisis requires cool heads and prudent hands. Let
every true Reformer be on his guard. Citizens of Glasgow !
The eyes of your fellow-countrymen are upon you. Th day has
come—choose ye betwixt tyranny and freedom, betwixt corruption
and reform, betwixt Tory darkness and the light of a just and
beneficent Government. In one word—FEAßLEssur Do You a
Derv. You owe it to your Country, to yourselves, to your ehil-
dren, and to posterity.
TILE TIMES ARD Tna COURIER.—At a time like the present,
the public cannot have too vigilant an eye upon the Press. The
traitorous, the infamous defection of two leading Journals from the
cause of the people, has excited the astonishment and indignation
of all classes in the metropolis. We refer to the Times and the
Courier, both of which Journals, after months of unmeasured abuse
of Lord Brougham, which the whole country saw with equal pain
and disgust, have hauled down their Liberal colours and hoisted the
Wellington flag. In plain language, they have at once gone over
to the enemy, and 4zre now basely fighting the battle of the Duke
and that of the Tory faction, as zealously as if they had never
lifted a pen in the cause of the people and reform.

METROPOLITAN MEMBERS' ADDRESS.

( From the Mo;ning Chronicle.)

We received at a late hoer last night the following
excellent Address from the majority of the Metropo-
litan Members to their Constituents. This important
document is opportune and seasonai;le, and we recom-
mend our Liberal contemporaries to g;ve it every pos-
sible publicity. Copies should be posted oil the walls
of every city and borough throughout the three king-
doms. To be forewarned is to be forearmed : and the
sentiments of this Address will, we are convinced, be
adopted by the great majority of the electors in Eng-
land, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland.

TO THE METROPOLITAN ELECTORS.
We, the Undersigned, your Representatives in the first Re-
formed House of Commons, unable at this season to make our
sentiments known in our places in Parliament, feel it our duty
to address You on the present critical state of public affairs.
We rejoiced, in common with yourselves, at the passing of
the Reform Bill, in the confident hope that it would lead to
those extensive practical ameliorations which we conceive the
country to require ; and that it would ensure both redress of
national grievances and continued progression in good go-
vernment, without the smallest interruption to the public se-
curity and repose.
It is with deep sorrow that we now find this hope extin-
guished by the re-appointment of an Anti-reforming Ministry.
We can expect no prosecution of the legitimate consequences
of the Reform Bill from those who in every stage denounced
and opposed it. We can anticipate no correction of social or
political abuses from those whose voice has uniformly been
raised in their defence. From such men Reformers have no-
thing to hope ; and not only nothing to hope, but in our opi-
nion, every thing to fear. For we cannot conceal our appre-
hension that any attempt either to withhold wise and necessary
reforms, or to impose upon the people delusive and inefficient
measures in place of them, will be attended with serious
danger to the peace of the community.
It is not our purpose in this Address to express any united
opinion as to the conduct of the Ministry, since the opening of
the Reformed Parliament. On that point we are not una-
nimous. Many of us are of opinion that the Ministry have
greatly fallen short of the legitimate expectations of the
people ; and our conduct in Parliament shows how far we
have respectively acted on that conviction. Others among
us think that considering the difficulties with which the Go-
vernment had to contend, no blame is imputable to them for
not having effected more extensive reforms. But what-
ever difference of sentiment there may be as to the
measures of the displaced Ministry, we arc all of one ac-
cord in proclaiming that the recent appointment is a change
for the worse—a change greatly and fearfully for the
worse—a change fatal to all prospect of efficient
and peaceable reforms, and involving the near possi-
bility of perils, such as we shrink from contemplating.
We have thus, under an imperative sense of duty, expressed
to You, through the only channel at present open to us, our
opinions on the recent changes in the Government ; we be-
lieve that those opinions will find accordance among the large
majority of our constituents. It is not for us to suggest to
you the proper mode of giving effect to your convictions on
this momentous topic ; but we trust that You will concur with
us in laying aside all slighter differences of political feeling for
the purpose of preventing the restoration of Tory misgovern-
ment, and the retrogade movement of the Cause of Reform.
A Dissolution of Parliament, is, in all probability at hand ;
and, on the result of the ensuing Election, depends all chance
of future political progress, and, perhaps, even the preserva-
tion of the Reform Bill itself, from iepcal or mutilation. Wo
anxiously hope that you will unite in repudiating not only the
declared enemies of that great measure, but also the sup-
porters of a Government avowedly hostile to those amend-
ments in our institutions for the attainment of which alone
Parliamentary Reform is valuable. Your example will be
followed elsewhere ; and a new Parliament will be chosen,
such as no Anti-Reforming Ministry will be able to encounter.
This is our fervent prayer : we rejoice to add that it is at the
same time our confident expectation.

The Duke of Wellington's political manceuvres will
utterly fail in the " home service." From all parts of
the country we are assured of the confidence and over-
helming power of the Liberal constituencies. The
Pes2l and Wellington impostors will meet their deserts
at tio hustings.
