'fITE SPIRIT OF Tirp, PUBLIC JOURNALS

We publish to-day an opinion of Mr. Canning, to
which- most men will annex. a valne alincist sacred,
. „.
and on a point which goes to the very foundation of a
Wellington Ministry, wider any modifications,
~
on any terms. It is an extract of the letter written,
to the Duke by Mr. Canning, on the Subject °this'
Oriv6's speech of the' 2d of last MaY. The letter
'was dated on the sth. The' peoPle 'of England will
there see, that Mr. Canning nonsidered the tat& dis-
- qualification of. the Duke of Wellington as Prime
Minister, 'to be one which did trot rest' on cirettn-
stances—one which could not be repaired by- dondi-
tioni or precautions,:but which- Was 'absolitte, inhe-
rent,. and
,unchangeable, in his Grace's•person. The
parenthesis of the third paragraph of the extract .con-
tains the pith of this irresistible objection, viz.—.
(" For your Grace, as Prime Minister, could NEVER
Lave drectutray divested yoursel of your influence
over the army.") Mr. Canning then goes on to
say, that. such a concentration of influence " would
. certainly, intny opinion, have constituted a station; too
great for any subject--incompatible . with the pntetice
pia free constitution;" and he adds,, that ‘.‘.itothing
h)ould have induced ma to serve under_suclz a form of
"--:overnnrent." If, then, Mr. Canning would not have
horde such a GOvernt':,ent, whatever . pains !night
t.•()
ino:e been taken divest the Duke of his influ-
ence Over the .army," how much JesS ought the
ccn.tntry to 'endure it, when the pains taken are for
q.be ot,posite purpose—of et ending and perpetuating
Al* influence ? The dying words of MI,. Canning
arc worthy, not alone of his 'conintry'S remembrance,
but of het and nray even yet convey a
usertti lesson to him Whó has apparently despised

to expect it from him. If he keep together such a
civil staff as can fight the afferent estimates through
the House, , and obtain the, necessary Ways and

Duke ever bestowed a thought . upon the cause

in -ithe • order .of things that Ireland should
be ' filled . with a ragged redundant population,
as that she Should hiv'e a hthilid climate and green

the state of things in Ireland, as peculiarly deserv-
ing of perpetuation,, the overflow of Irish, beggary
on Ireland, and the poverty and desperate erimi-
,nAity of our . °mt. population in consequence, arc
i all just and proper. 'Sir Joint Forteptte,"in his
'Treatise of AbSolute and Limited Monarchy, takes
notice, " that When. the ~rising hafh been made in
this iand„before these days by commons, the pOorest
men thereof have been the greatest causers and doers
,therein. And thrifty, men bath been loth there-
to, for dread of losing of their goods, .but yet often
times they, have gonen.with them, through neces-
sity, or . else the 'same poor men would have taken
their goods ; wherein it seemeth that poverty bath
been the whole 'and chief causesof all such rising.
The poor man hath been stiriedthereto-by occasion
of his poverty, for to get goods; and' the rich men
~have gone with, them, because they would not be
,
poor by losing of . their. goOds.7 So was it in the
tunes of Henry VI., and so is it,,in-the time of
George IV. "I .E

TILE MEMORIAL OF THE UNDERSIGNED DIRECTORS OF THE CHAMBER
MANUFACTURES AND COMMERCE AT BIRMINGHAM,

Respectfully slieweth,•
That the established confidence iu the integrity and re-
spectability of the great body of tradesmen in this country
occasions an unwillingness in their connections to sub-
ject them to the unavailing expense, of giving Receipt
Stamps. ,
That as the, principal, eliance of the. Goyernincnt for the
enforcement of the duty must rest upon, the assumed dis-
trust of payers of money in the honour and integrity of those
receiving it, it is improbable that its exaction can become
general. •
• That the comparatively small number of cases, therefore,
in, which the duty is ever likely to be paid, however strong
the measures resorted to for enforcing it, renders it un-
equal, and, consequently, very obnoxious.
That there ate numerous cases of daily occurrence in
which the profits of a transaction bear a very small propor-
tktn to the amount of money paid, and councquently, if it
were possible to compel the payment of the duty in such
cases, it would become intolerablyoppressive and unjust.
Thetas experience has proved this duty to be repugnant,
embarrassing, easy of evasion, and consequently unproduc-
,tive, it appears to, this Meeting that any.benefit it way con-

IkIATTEO-6THE CORSICAN BANDIT.

-

.J. Matteo, one of the most determined rob-
bers and atrocious murderers since the. time of
Theodore, has-at length terminated his exist-
.
ence. This man had, during several years, set
at defiance the local police, the gendarmes, and
the Corsican chasseurs, who were continually in
pursuit of him: But the terror he had struck
into the inhabitants of the island prevented them
from giving any information respecting the resi-
dence of this furious wretch—nay, some of the
peasantry ascribed supernatural powers to Matted,
by whom he was thought to be a demon that
had assumed the 'human form. It appears
pretty certain , that .he had
.been guilty of several
murders, but the circumstances of the following
one are so well authenticated, that no doubt can
be raised 'aato his guilt. A young female, aged
18,. the daughter of a
,mounfaineer, possessing
considerable. beauty, .was seen and loved by
Matted, who, in a short time, made proposals to
marry her. The fatherconsented, but the young
person, without shoWing any aversion to the
suitor, declined giving a positive, answer. The
jealousy of Matted was nowroused, and he deter-
mined to watch, suspecting that some favoured
rival placed Obstaeles in the way of his success
with the object of his affections. His suspicions
proved to be true. A youth, abOut the age of
the female, was loved by her. She had,,however,
a motive
.for concealing her , attachment—the
family of her lover was, in consequence of
some peCuniary transactions, on ill terms
with lier,father, and, Until these quarrels were
terminated, she knew that her parent would
refuse his consent to a union taking place.—
Although,
.until- this period, Matteo had been
leacling.anirregnlar life, he .had not rendered
inself) guilty of imiy, nt ~ that .might forfeit
.11 is
liberty;, but the worst bfipassions, jealousy, took

when his detested riVal.Was•kneeling-at the feet
of hiS beloved, and rushing from behind a large
tree, he stabbed the youth through his heart, and
drawing the stiletto from. his body, he instantly
plungedit into the bosom of his mistress. After
committing these dreadful crimes he became reck-
less .of what Might.'happento him,•and seemed
to take a delight in witnessing, and adding to,
the miseries of mankind. Two murders had _re-
---eerit/y been committed in the neighbourhood of
Calvi, and It was strongly suSpected that. he was
"the perpetrator. Orders, were therefore given by
the Governor to send a number of gendarmes and
Corsican chasseurs'in quest of him. It had pre-
viously been ascertained-that he frequently took
up his residence in an uninhabited chateau,
nearly in a state of ruins. .As soon as Matte°
perceived-the-gendarmes approaching; he fired his
musket, loaded' with slugs, and killed two- of
them oil the spot ; the chasseurs now arrived,
and,several Volleys were fired ; One of these men
was killed, And two,,severelv wounded, but whilst

'dozen more of the banditti have since been taken
into custody. The great vigilance of the Police
arises from the circumstance of a priest having
been robbed and murdered by the banditti.
