.The Morning Chronicle
~has adverted to a para-
graph in the Sun of yesterday, and has thought pro-
per , to giye it a sort of demi-official authority,
though we expressly stated, that we were 'merely
collecting the rumours of, the day for the amuse-
nient of our Readers. We are not in the habit of
pretending to knowledge which we do not possess ;
and we did not pretend to any in the article alluded
to •in the Chronicle. But it seems we made use of
the expression, that it was probable that same
changes Might take pface before the opening of `Pir-
liamenti,and we are accused of propagating, in an
insidious manner, that there will be some changes,
but not a change. The Morning Chionicle; ind the
Party, it supports, will not be saiisfied -with any
thing., less. than a radical change : they want the
absolute possession of power, but the groUnds of
their pretensions are most unfortunately select-
ed. The Campaign in the Peninsula, is men-
tioned : surely the Party will not rest their diarae-
ters as Statesmen upon the opinions ty hick they
have delivered upon that subje&.

The public have not forgotten that the Party most
solemnly declared, that, the preservation of -Portu-
gal was of so much importance to this country, that
no sacrifice on our part would be too great to ac.
complkh that object ; but they &dared that it was
impracticable; that Ministers were .charged, on their
responsibility, to Withdraw the Artny,, from that
kingdom, and that it Wks boldly predicted last year,
that within two months there would not be a Bri-
tish soldier in Portugal, except as a- prisoner.-

It may appear unnecessary to repeat these opinions
snd prediaions, but if the Party will ,sat forth their
claims to public confidence; it is necessary to amt...
-mine tbern.

Another pint touched upon in the Chro;fide is,
the case of the Roman Catholics of Ireland. Upon
this point the' Party have most studiously, but most
unjustly, charged the present Ministers with into-
-1 ranee. In what single instance has a spirit of intole-
-rAryce been manifested towards the fri,h Catholics ?
The Ministers have, it Wtrue,,opposed a compliance
with the whole of the demands of that body ; but
if that can be called intolerance," .the mean-
irg, of that word has' 'lately been very much
changed. If, however, it be intolerance to refuse
an unlimited, ,unconditional compliance with their'
demands, the Party, if in power, would, if they
were consistent, be just as guilty ,of it as ti:e
.prehent*Ministers. for the highest authorities among
ti em declared that the concessiooof the veto, by the
Catilolies, was a sine rin4 non, and the Catholics de7
clarcd they, would not concedeit : upon their own
:prin4les therefore,, the Party must 'adopt the
very Conduti for which, they so loudly censure
the present Ministers.

The Cell in the Victualling-Office, who, since
the discontinuance of extra hours, has found time
i,) furnish paragraphs for the Mertung.Papers,• has
committed a slight mistake in that which appears
'in the Morning Chronicle of this day., The Sav-
,
log which he states to be i2OOl. n year, 11,pptps,,
to be more than 15.001.,:a year and instead of an,
increase of thirty established Clerks, at 801. a year
(making an_ increase .f expence equal to. 24001. a
year) we must reitd
.six established, Clerks at 801.
or 4801: a year, Malting the aelual saving by the
a!Timernent upwards of 10001.. a year hut 'the
great adyantage ls not so much tile more saving,
.as

PROBBSSOR DAYY.--This . great ornament- and
prop of the scientific world, and whose valtiable
discoveries in natural philosophy have justly railed.
ban. into. the highest distinaion, is now at 'Dahill);
where lie last week delivered his first leaurfa- on
elearo-chernical philosophy,:: he began with a
comprehensive view of the objed, anti utility of
those lea-lures, and of the rapid progress that chemi-
cal and elearical science had.tnade,.the pectiliar•ad-:
vantages derived from its study, and its general up.
plicazion to the arts and to the economy of nature,r..
That country, he said, stood pre-eminently consok
cuous for advantages that none. other- in the.empite.
could -admit • of, abounding in fossils, minerals,'
and mitres, ,of incalcUlable value, interspersed
with navigable rivers, lakes, lime. stone, and tuel„
and that it only .required the aid of, the opulent
to bring them into action, and' thereby . render
'their country otre of the iirst 'in the- world.
The ledurer, which was of the most- interesting
nature, was delivered with modesty, and in such a'
- manner as trennently to call forth bursts bi applause
from a ,crowded auditory, .composed" of the first
and most enlightened persons, in the", country.--
Mr. Davy recommended strongly to the -fe
male part .of his auditory, who, were blessed
/with afllueneq and leisure, to make the stieneei
ailudea io a part of their study, and pointed out
thee: great advantages that society would derive
from their exertions, and (ha great source of amuSv.,-
meta it would be to them when advanced in yqars':
,This exhortation, we trust, he'd a suitable eilect up'Ort
his heaters) and that it will, prompt them to
ploy their .wealth 'for the ;richest-of society, front
motives more noble:than personal gratificati)ti..
