existing Establishments is the cause of all our
oe s (which by the bye are grossly and mis-

ebievously exaggerated), how it happens that
(luring the war, when our annual expenditure
was infinitely greater, and our t,4'stablishrnents
upon a lilt ger scale, how -it happenS that
the pressure was then nnfelt) and we were

prosperous, while the lesser pressure wears. us
down to ruin and despair ! It -will regnire sOine
skill to demonstrate, that the 'nation which could
sustain an expenditure of 110 millions a year,
of which much was paid in Foreign Cu►ln-
tries, must sink under en expenditure of fifty
tuillions paid at home, and three-fifths. of it in
the shape of luterest to Native Creditors of the
state.

One Combatant in this political discussion com-
pares Great Brirain to an exhausted horse, bornt,
down by a long journey with a heavy load on his
back, and he, recommends his being immediately
divested of his pack-saddle, and hulled out to

frolic and pasture. The comparison is not
complitnentary, and, like most of such illustra-
tions, it is inapplicable to the case. As well
might a War Horse be substituted for this Hack
of the Titnes, and the conclusion of the-argument
run thus : He has been engaged in battle, and
come off victorious with some noble scars and
much fatigue. • Divest kim of as much off' his
war load as you can, without exposing him to
be found utterly unprepared, while yet the sound
of the trumpet is in his ears, and the clashing
'elements of discord are uncomposed. Loosen his
girths and groom him well, but still retain the
saddle, and be ready, for you must travel on, and
cannot stand still. Moderate exercise is better
after the race than an entire cessation of motion.
But, after all, this dispute, though of extreme
importance, has very hale to do with the Lon-
don Meeting, which, as we have repeatedly stated,.
\41% not competent to remove political causes of
distress, but simply to relieve the, distress, by
Whatever it is occasioned. Those who stirred up
the political question, have more of the leaven of
Faction than of Charity in them, and accordingly
they have ctnabletl us to read their opinions, in
:stead of their names in the list of subscriptions. •

A Morning Paper (says the Times) has been
long and strenuously conterolin for a Reforni in
Parliament and we rejoice to perceive that it lots
at last., even by its..own account, obtained its
leislies in A,vitat it calls " a perfect representation,
of the Realm," assembled last Monday at the City
er London Tavern. These are its words : "We
3+ ever knew a Meeting of greater respect" (re-
spectability). " It was composed of a per-
fect representation of the Realm : fey the
Cr("vo, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, 'with,
the Commons, in all their degrees of Land and
Sttfekholderi,' Clergy, Professions, Merchants,
Ilantifactuters, 'Traders,, Artists, and Artisans,
were all represented by Princes of the Wood Royal,
Archbishops and Bishops, Peers, Knights of the
Shire, Citizens and Burgesses, Ministerial and
°Pllosition, in Parliament and out. Never was
formed in one room a more complete epitome of
The Y. tole Natiop."
We are sorry that the opinion of the Paper in
Sltiestion should have been so much mistinderstood.
Po far from considerkug the meeting to.day as it
did YeSterd,iy, it roundly asserts that, " but for
'he'll/Tie voice of Lord COCHRANR Ministers would

't loch they had by circular letters invited a host
Phteemen, pensiotnrs, sinecure holders, con-
tractors and dependents), to the publication
throughout the country of a gross delusion. By
'he Noble Lord's seasonable interference the in-
design was frustrated—the CRUSe of na-
tional calAtnity was put in its true light,----and
thus (:very pall of the kingdom will be taught
