SECOND ANNUAL REPORT of the COM-
mrrrE.Eof the BRIGHTON FRIENDLY and pnpvi-
DENT iNsmuTioN.—Among the various expedients to
lessen the sumtrf idleness and vice among the inferior classes,
none-has operated with grelter success than the Institution
which we -are this day met to patronize and support. It
strikes at the root of pauperism and indiscriminate gratuitous
bounty,--two of the most formidable obstructions to moral
improvement with which the poor in general have to contend.
Your CoMmittee are happy to perceive that the fundamental
principle of this Institution is at length recognised and acted
upon .by several parishes; and that a'spirit of inquiry, as to
the best mode relieving the necessitous, is now abroad.
The parish of \Valera, in Bath, has adopted a plan, which
in one year reduced the parochial expenditure 1,0-251. The
parishes of-Chester hearing of this system of Parochial Eer,
norny, applied to the Overseers of \Valcot for information on
the subject, which by the latter was readily afforded ; and
which unequivocally states that, except in cases of sickness,
extreme old age, and infancy, relief was never bestowed, but
as the stimulus or the reward 'of industry. Nothing can be
inure rational nor more productive of real advantage to the
distressed poor than the plan detailed by these judicious
Parish Officers, which, if universally adopted- in connection
with Piovident Institutions 'supported alio•by the Parish, wilt
go far to annihilate Pauperism, and to wipe off this foul re-
proach from.the social economy of England. This, and not
suicide, has become "or Island's shame, and the mass of out
population will never be virtuous, contented, or happy, until
it is completely removed.
By a reference to a parochial expenditure of the. past and
present year in our own parish, it will be evident. that our
rates have been materially reduced, while our population has
beet► rapidly on the advance. This is in a great measure to
lie -attributed to the wisdom, energy, and firmness of our
Assistant Overseer, Mr. Chassereau, and the enc-ruragement
afforded him by the Directors and Guardians; and it is only
necessary for these authorities to support the Provident In-
stitution, to render the poor-rates fur the future an insignifi-
cant bagatelle. _ . _

Your Committee report, with unmingled satisfaction, an
increase of one hundred poor fatuities as subscribers to the
Institution, making a total of 130, during the present year ;.
comprising no less than 539 individuals, the greater part of
whom, in all probability, would have required, during the
winter, parochial assistance ; but who are now, in Conse-
quence of having regularly paid their weekly money, entitled
to a very liberal provision of the principal necessaries of life
at a season of the year when otherwise they would have been
exposed either to the moral degradation of pauperism, or to
the most distressing personal privations.
In.oider to supply the requisite articles of food, clothes,
and fuel, of the very best quality, to these deserving families
and individuals, the Committee have effected the following
contracts :—M eat aid. per pound ; Flour, 164 per gallon;
Coals, 154 pvi bushel; Flannel, l3d leer yard.; so that Ike
poor amity which during the snowier months subscribes Is Gil
per week, receives 8s Gd per week during thirteen weeks in
winter, which is laid out by the Committee on the above most
advantageous terms; nearly doubling the amount in the ne-
cessary articles of life.
The funds of the Institution are in a flourishing state; and
will enable the Committee to commence the ensuing year un-
der the most flattering auspices ; still, however, exertions
are necessary, as it may fairly be anticipated that as the ad-
vantages of the Institution become better known, the number
of applicants will greatly increase. It is confidently hoped
that an Institution which confers unmingled good on the ob-
jects of its benevolence; which throws every farthing of its
income into the treasury of industry and economy; which
draws the line bet Ween virtue and profligacy ; which lessens
the parochial burthens at the very moment it is promoting,
in the highest degree, the well-being of those who would
otherwise increase those burthens,—will continue to enjoy
the patronage of the great, the contributions of the wealthy,
and the personal support of all who desire to ameliorate the
condition of the pour, and to advance the interests of genuine
morality.
Your Committee likewise indulge sanguine expectations
that a certain sone will be annually allowed by the Directors
and Guardians, for the purposes of the Institution, ifeeliitp,, as
they do, perfectly assured, that a stint so devoted will in a
very short time treble its amount, in a saving of the poor-
rates. 'I hey would also respectfully suggest.to the benevoleot
visitors and residents of this immense town, that if they would
make the Provident Institution the chief medium of their
bounty, they would protect themselves from imposture, and
no longer be doomed to encounter the importunity of the idle
and vicious. 'Thus wouldouv streets be freed born their worst
nuisance, nhile every individual that really required assist-
ance, and had a reasonable claim upon the compassionate,
would be effectually relieved.

VIDENT INSTITUTION, held at the Old Ship Tavern on
Thursday, the 22d Nov.,
Sir DAVID SCOTT, Bart., in the Chair,
Resolved—l. hat this sleeting derive the highest satis•

Resolved—ill. That the thanks of this Meeting be given to
the Committee, for the important services rendered by them
to this Institution, anti that they be requested to continue the

HOLY ALLIANCE.-7(LETTER IV.)

MR. EDITOR—In the struggle that ever exists
between a Nation and its Rulers, the forces on
each side are not upon an equality ; the numbers
on the one side being more than effectually coun-
terbalanced by the power of the other. This must
necessarily be the case, from the very' nature of
the two contending parties. The one' has a dis-
tinct and decisive object, which is the mainte-
nance and the gradual increase of its authority ;
the other has certainly a wish no less strong of
loosening its bonds, but this desire is generally
vague and undefined. The established Govern-
ment is always powerfully supported, not only
by its immediate dependents, by the troops in
its pay, by- the force of habit, &c. but also by
tl.ose who consider that a popular commotion
might endanger their fortunes and their lives.—
We cannot bestirprised'at,the attachment of the
soldier's for the Head of the Government, which
being ever the fountain of wealth and honour,
thereby possesses the means of purchasing and
securing its fidelity and affection ; whence the
defenders of their country are easily rendered
the oppressors of their countrymen. It is not
singular that a Sovereign should' feel desirous of
extending
.the prerogatives of his Crown. The
love of domination is natural to man, and must
necessarily act More powerfully upon the minds
of the privileged beings who are born to rule
over their fellow-creatures. But the love of
berty acts with equal force upon the human
mind. There exists in all men an innate desire
of freedom, though this principle be active in
some and latent in others. It is generally active
in mixed Governrnents,where the'people, through
its representatives, carries on an open warfare
with the Crown. In absolute or despotic Mo-
narchies it lies dormant, and is pressed down by
the strong hand of power ; but awaits only one
spark to burst out into a terrific conflagration.
The change from a moderate to a more abso-
lute form of Government is, for the most part,
slew and gradual, often scarcely perceptible.—
It generally proceeds more from the course of
events than from any deep laid or premeditated
plan on the part of the Rulers ; but the Army is
necessarily the principal instrument by means of
which the change is effected in a permanent man-
ner. In the course of external occurrences, some
will naturally arise that must necessitate a con-
siderable increase in the military force of the
country. It may happen, on the other hand,
that the internal state of the country will be such
as to require a larger army in order to preserve its
tranquillity ; and in either case the hands of
Government are necessarily strengthened,and the
popular force as necessarily diminished. It is
likewise possible that a successful Sovereign,
loved by the Army, may at once overthrow the
Established Constitution, and become the abso-
lute master of the lives and fortunes of his sub-
jects. When the resources of his country are
thus placed at his entire disposal, the spirit of
ambition Still urging him on to extend his domi-
nation, he will become the scourge of mankind ;
he will carry' war and desolation around him ;
and strew with mangled corpses the most distant
regions of the world. This idea may be Con-
sidered as fanciful or far-fetched, but is it an min-
poSsible or an improbable event? That there is
a continued struggle between the Governor and
the governed, cannot be reasonably denied: that-
this struggle must eventually terminate in favour
of one or the other, is no less certain : and it
seems equally so, that any such change may pro-
duce a re-action dangerous to the peace and tran-
quillity of Europe. To prevent the possibility
of popular encroachment or usurpation, the Sove-
reigns of one portion of the Globe have entered
into a close alliance but what security does
this alliance giVe to the People that its rights and
privileges will not be trampled under foot ? None;
on the contrary, 'every nation must view it as
avowedly formed to restrain any attempt it may
make to lessen the burthen of the yoke under
which it labours, and to support the oppressive
measures its Rulers may chuse to adopt. Where
then is the jdstice of this anomalous institution ?
How can it in the 'least promote the -welfare of
nations, and the tranquillity of Europe ? To
produce these beneficial effects, and prove itself
really entitled to the gratitude of nations, and
to the approbation of every liberal and n ell re-
gulated mind, it should studiously maintain the
balance between the Sovereign and the People in
perfect equilibrium ; and not incline it wholly to
one party, and that too towards the party' whose
preponderance is likely to prove most pernicious
to the peace of society.
It may be, indeed, questioned, which form of
Government is, in its nature, more hostile to the
peace of its neighbour. I should scarcely hesitate
in deciding that the least so is the mixed, and
the most so, the absolute Monarchy ; and I am
inclined to believe that the Republican holds a
sort of medium between each of these. Experi-
ence teaches us, that the mixed form of govern-
ment is the result of a contest between the Peo-
ple and the Sovereign, in which the former has
proved victorious, but has made a moderate use
of its victory. This character of its origin
stamps it as one to which the lloly Alliance is,
from its principles, decidedly opposed. Whence
it may not •be very unfair to conclude that it
must unavoidably operate to prevent the esta-
blishment of that Constitution which is most be-
neficial to the country, and the best calculated
to procure the peace anti pr asperity of a nation.
The immense force of an absolute monarchy con-
sists, not only in this, that the whole power of a
country is placed at the disposal of one man, but
in the great energy of action that ever ensues

.
from this power being directed only by one %via:
Here are no contending factions to shackle,thii
operations of Government, no rivalry of ti 0 _
impede the tide- of success. One ma
whole force of the State, and Ivek
pleasure. Had Hannibal been absolutc,Vrrof
Carthage, the second Punk War WOWo
laid the Roman Eagle prostrate at his feet.
In a Republic the case is widely different. There
exists no doubt the sante ambition, the same desire
of extensive domination ; but therels ever a want
of unity in the Government, which continually im-
pedes the progress. of the political machine, and
subjects *it to frequent vicissitudes- of fortune.
If it sometimes extends its power abroad, inter- . '
nal factions bring it- upon the brink of ruin,
and 'afford an opportunity to distant Colonies to
recover their independence. This was striking-
ly exemplified botlf at Sparta •and Athens, but
more especially in the latter. If the Romans
appear to be an exception, the cause of this will
be foiind in the nature of the Government,
though. strictly republican) left, at the same
time, the direction of military of to Consuls,
anxious, in the first place, to Outdo one another,
and in the second, to illustrate the short time
they_continued in office by some considerable
exploit.'

From all that has been said, I trust every un-
prejudiced mind will adMit, that it is not leSs
necessary for the peace of society that the Car-
bonari. of Naples should be put down, than that
the power of Russia should not be increased by
espousing. the cause "of the revolted Greeks ; an.
act of friendship on her part, which, considering
the longing eye she has 'ever had upon Constan-
tinople, may not be wholly disinterested. The
Holy Alliance most assuredly quiets 'all our apse
prehensions in respect to the former evil; but,
unfortunately, it offers no guarantee as to the pos-
sibility of the latter. The Emperor of Russia
has proved himself thus fat a good sovereign, a
faithful ally, and even a magnanimous enemy ;
let us hope, therefore, that the same principles
of honour and of moderation which he has hitherto
made the rule of his political conduct, will point
out to him the injustice of interfering in the na-
tional concerns of a neighbour, to whom he is
bound by the faith of solemn treaties.
