LETTER 111.

SIR,—I have been reading (as I have very often
done before) the details of the glorious and ever-
niemorable Battle of Waterloo ; and the thought
has come back to me, with the fresh force, as it has
returned upon every perusal, how completely that
worst demon Faction has contrived to extinguish
every British and eve!), human teelin:z, in those
bosoms which he governs. In the ungrateful
movements of turbulence, for which the peace so
dearly purchased gave opportunity, what sham
Patriot has ever expressed even a transient hint of
satisfaction at the nocaralleled glory achieved at
Waterloo ? Who has ever mentioned to the popu-
lace the Duke of Wellington and his invincible
associates ? Occupied with titer visionary dreams
of a better hepresentation in Parliament, which
them has ever reflected how glorionsly the
whole nation was represented in that deadly field?
Lew esented in the eyes of the whole world, as a
bation W' heroes ; as men devoting their lives for
the rescue of nations from tyranny ; as willing to
meet death, in his most terrific forms, for the de-
liverance of their country. True, this was no
representation of the Hunts and Waithmans, the
leaders of disaffection, whose courage lies in
braviug those who have not power to punish
them ! It was no representation, afforded no re-
semblance whatever, of those Common-Hall
heroes, woo value the glory and the safety of
their country less than their own poliiral whims
and specul.it ions. Bin I it trit it wt,s a true repre-
sentation and strict resemblance of nine hundred
and ninety-nine out of every thousand British
throughout the United Kingdoms ; who, though
some of them may he for a moment deluded, by
attifi,es of the anti • patriots, all reflect with
congenial feelings on the ttiumpli of Waterloo,
all shed tears of the like warmth and rapture at
the perusal of the natrative of that day.
But observe, Sir, bow that Anti-British spirit,
I,ich made two suspensions of the Habeas Cur-
Pus expedient, has gradually prevailed to damp
the genuine feelings of the populace. When
lticlier came, soon after the event, what were
the raptures with which he was received ! How
t!id John Bull display his natural honest disposi-
tion, in welcoming the Noble Foreigner who had
In ably seconded our British Hero ! Bnt when,
kfttr a period of absence, occasioned by ditties
consequent upon our triumph, IVellingttsn hinl-
- came home; where were the shouts, the gra-
tolations, the eager desire to behold him and to
tto him honour ? All ost all smothered by the
)',ilinr.„'s of Cobbett, awl the anti-social move-
tents of his abettors and admirers ! Do these
kien suppose, t hat if we had possessed universal
Itarage, with annual Parliaments, and their whole
‘tain of imaginary improvements, We should have
kid a more glorious army, or stood more highly
benefactors to the world ? No : the probahi-
6ty is, that we should have rather been grovelling
itt the feet of the Despot we have humbled ; and
Perhaps been split into departments, annexed to
his Belgian dominions.
Mark this, however, and see if it be not a true
tench-stone of political honesty, or the contrary.
phew me the men who rejoice at the successes
ki)(1 triumphs of their country, and those ‘‘ho
repine at them, and depreciate what they cannot
the former I will wear for ever,

."
In my heart's core, aye, in toy heart of hearts;"
the latter I will never regard but Vvith suspicion,
at,d N weil-grounded persuasion, that whatever
llley advise must have some latent mischief in it.
Yours,
Itagast 20. SOMERS.

ConN ExcnANGE, AUG. 22.—We have had
%utile considerable Arrivals of Foreign Wheat
%ince Monday, but there was but little business
tluing this morning ; the few Sates made in Fine
Wheat and Oats were at Monday's prices, hut
qrdinary was dull ; Fine Barley supports its price ;
111 Pease and Beans there are no alteration.

The accounts from all parts of France and Ger-
continue to assure us that the harvest is
ttvciyerhere most abundant. The rye and barley
!Ire already entirely cut, and the wheat now reap-
is :mind to he even more ahnndant than either
those grains. Our accounts from ere, y part of
them ISt itnin are equally gratifying ; and we are
11lost happy to find, that our statements relative
14 the extraordinary produce of the ears of wheat
iltove to have been correct. %Ire were yesterday
ktvoured by a friend with samples both in ear and
"therwise, which serve to slim at once the fine
10alily of the grain and the abundance of the
od tic . (Morning Post.)

The harvest has partinlly commenced in this
brighbourbood ; a field ot heat, belonging to Mr.
l'ubitt, at Seacombe, was cut during the last week,
'id the accounts are Of the most flattering de-
hription.-=-(Liverpout Gazette)

Shotild the Harvest prove a wet one like the
List, it is strongly recommended, where the
‘Vheat is beaten dawn and green, to adopt the
qd herring bone fashion of laying each handful of
'heat
corn across the other, by which means the
'Vheat ears he upon the stiatv, and being thus
from oaf the ground, become dry in a shorter
nie. The smaller the sheaves are made up after-
*4rilS the bettor.

TUE PERPETUAL 11J0TioN, it is said, has at
:4gl h been discovered, though to what use it may
applied, it remains for time to show. Another
44t ion, unfortunately not perpetual, has been long
14, practice, which G. CARROLL can assure his
tt n n
ltnils has bee the nicas of enriching thousands.
,Ilk is the rot3tory motion of the Lottery Wheels,
is ill 'evolve upon their axles on the 10th
i:ptemb,r, nod distribute, amongst many other
'l'wo Capikils of 20,000/. which it is sup-
i%ed will fall to the share of those who make
Purchases at Nu. 7, Curnhill, or 26, Oxford-
