PreViollol to the Meeting ,4 Parliament the
Montiim Chronicle by " the ridr I)irt;ct..• assured

the Public that it had taken listatities ta.report the
Debates so, excellent a tuaonee as to maintain
the superiority in that respect Over its Morning Con"
temporaries,'Which was so eonspicuous last Sessinit !
W.O, of course, who knkrio'all the Morning Publi-
cations in order to select the best for our_Evening'
Paper, anticipated fullneis, fairness, and candour
from Reports so vaunted. Guess our surprize on
finding about forly.
.lines allotted to the Speech of
Mr. CANNING in the Chronicle of Wednesday ! We
rubbed our eyes ;—as the leading Minister in the
House, we pored into the paper for some items of
the statement which Government made for itself
as a brilliant Orator, we endeavoured to ferret out
someof the beauties of an address, acknowledged by
the House unanimously to have been splendid, if
by the Opposition not allowed to be convincing—
but alas, nor argument, nor rhetorical ornament,
nor statement of fact, nor poetical image, did
the Impartial Chronicle allow to the circumscribed
Spokesman of the Government ! His fair propor-
tions were inhumanly squeezed into forty lines,
while the dismal croakings of Raven GREY, and
the dry dross of PONSGNDY, Were extended over
half the Journal. Oh, the wonderful superiority
of the Chronicle Reports !

But let us do it justice. Though the Country
was not totet what Mr CANNINU said, the Party
felt it, and yesterday and• to-day nearly two co-
lumns of the leading ankles of their Organ have
been devoted to answer and to turn into ridieule
that which they affect to despise, and (lid not
think it necessary or at least expedient, in Common
justice, to promulgate.

We rejoice to ,see the. LOYALTY, GOOD SENSE,
and l'itoreaery of the Country rousing into ac-
tion, io order to stem the torrent of revolutionary
fuly. We yesterday presented to our .Readers
the admirable Resolutions passed at the Meeting
at SAlford ; we now I►ave the pleasure to submit
those of the County of Leicester, and, from our
communication with all the principal Towns and
Cities throughout the Empire, we hope, in inc..
cession, to present similar manifestations of pub,.
lie spit it and virtue fron► all quarters
