. " MANHEIM, JULY 6.—New Conferences have
taken place at Frankfort between the Ministers of
the ptincipal Powers, for the purpose of defini-
tively arranging all the objects respecting the
affairs of Germany, which are not yet decided
upon. In these Conferences they were exclusively
occupied- with every thing that relates to the
Germanic Confederation."

The more we consider the Speech of Sir FRAN-
CIS BURDETT, at the Crown and Anchor on Mon-
day last, the mole we are struck with the folly of
the man, and, the more we are convinced that we
should rather pity him for weakness than condemn
for evil intentions, and the more we are per-
suaded that his chief object is vulgar popularity.
Is it possible to suppose that in the loose, desul-
tory, declamAtion of a taveril dinner, when his
awn feeble powers were perhaps, indeed probably,
clouded by the liquor which he had drank, that
he ,was capable of discussiog the important matter
contained in Mr. CANNING'S last speech at Liver-
pool ; a speech that would have done honour to
the wisest man ot,ancient or modern times, and
that demand 4 the deliberate and profound consi-
deration of the ablest Statesmen, and most
learned, intelligent, and experienced
sopljerS ? Sir FRANCIs BURDETT is a mere.
shallow, ad captandunt Orator, with a little better
education than the CLEARYS, the JONESES (GUA,
the STURCHEs, we may well add the PRESTONS, the
DYALLS, the WATsONs, and the whole tribe of

men who never could rise into notice except in
the tumults of sedition, and who would soon be
consigned to the whipping post in any other coun-
try. But the public existence and toleration of
such. men th effect of our free Constitution.

" A bad effect, but from a glorious cause."
As to the Baronet's hackneyed abuse of Minis-
ters, that was to be expected ; it is the political
pabulum with which he feeds his empty followers.
But if his Agents had not fed them with some-
thing more substantial, he never would have risen
so high on the Poll, or hare appeared in the Car
of sorry elevation it) which he was beheld with
pity and contempt, by all but a weak and mis-
chieroos gabble, on Mcinday.—.llr. CAN N ING'S
brief, but luminous, exposition of the true nature,
character, and operation of the political system
to which we are indebted for all our happiness,
freedom, and that pre-eminence as a people
which render us the envy as well as admiration
of all other Stater, ought, as the phrase is, to be
written in letters of gold, and conspicuously in-
scribed in every place where it might impress the
nation with a sense of the blessings which they
enjoy under such an unrivalled Constitution.—
To try the tampering arts of modern Reformers
' upon such a system of Govern Meta would be
patilica/ suicide, and he present state of France
ought to be viewed as an eternal memento against
such dangerous empiricism, or rather national
destruction. The New Times of this day has en-
tered into a sort of comparison between those
who style themselves Whigs and the Burdettites,
and seems to consider the former as op-
posed to the latter on account of the " out-
rageous doctrines"—" the wild and visionary
projects of political regeneration," and the
" dangettous doctrine, that would seek im-
provement only in a radical Reform" incul-
cated by the Burdettite3, and who affect to treat
these doctrines as equally absurd with those of

Universal Stiff 'rage and Atritial Parliaments. nut
it is well known that these very Whigs have
advocated the very same doctrines, and in a more
subtle and dangerous manner. Did not the pre-
sent [lead of those Whigs), if they have now any.
Head among them, Sir SANIUEL ROMILLY, more
than insinuate, when he condescended to appear
on the ilostiugs, that he would endeavour to
shortim the duration of Parliaments, and if he
did avuiv an 'equal intention to promote Uai-
versal Suirrage; he was perhaps testrained by
the fear of appearing to blend too intimately the
Whip And Burdettites. The truth is, that there
is no difference between the two bodies, they are
both Patriots and Po/iticirtnE of the same princi-
ples, and have the same views. They ate both
corrupted by the success of the first Revo-
lwionists in France, and think that if they
could overturn the present system of Govern-
ment, and obtain the same power, they would
be able more firmly to hold it, end not Suf-
fer the saute fete. Besides, do we not see in
France men reisNl to high ranks, end suffered

tinetinn between them in their principles and thor
objects, the /Rigs are Burdettites, and the Bur:
tlettites are Whigs, and they merely differ in tbell
relative positions in society, the IPhigs 1101116
something to lose, but wanting something more,
and the 13tirdettiteshaving nothing to lose and ererif
thing to gain,

Having given a full account of the Arvrt
MONOPOLY MEETING yesterday, at the Crown 3n
Anchor, for the purpose of pointing out the in'
juriuus nature of the Licensing Systetn
with re'
spect to Public-houses, we need say little moven°
the subject. Great praise is certainly due to Air'
BAttnett BsatimoNT, to whom the Public are
.
highly indebted for having first set on foot all
vestigation into the nature of this edlo and f():
his perseverance in having essentially contributru
to the measure of submitting that evil to the Etv
tention of the Legislature. The subject was eV
tensively and very ably treated yesterday by this
Gentleman, who fully vindicated himself against
the aspersions of Messrs. BattcLaT and Csevaler''
who are too much interested in the system for it
to be supposed that they could conduct them',
selves with impartiality towards those wilt)
opposed it. Public-houses, under proper •re‘.
gidations, are essential to the comfort of the
middling and lower classes of the people: '11)(1
consequently Publicans are a class of wen eg)i'l
newly useful in society, and might be re"deret
as respectable as any order of Tradesmea, if they
were exempted from despwie coniroul. If eg°l'.

pamphlet, which was circulated not for its merit,
but &he popularity of his ?tame, as a hackney ad-
vocate, that the Treaty of Pilnitz was formed for
the destruction of the French Constitution, and
the dismemberment of its Empire ; strongly insi-
'mating that our connivance at the hostile system
of Lorope against her, and all our conduct against
her [Niers, contributed to the murder of Louis
XVI., though the direct reverse of this, through
any other optics than Mr. Ersiiine's, and his
minded Party, is seen to he true, as eviiently ap-
peared in a masterly answer by the late Mr.
Gifford.
