This afternoon a Cabinet Council was held at the
Foreign Office in Downing Street, and continued
in deliberation for a considerable period.

The adjourned debate in the House of Commons on the
Distress of the Country, was resumed last night by Mr.
FERGIISSON ; and, after a lengthy discussion, was, on
the motion of Mr. Secretary Piet., once more adjourned
till this evening. We shall not now enter into any re-
view II
of the speeches to which this most interesting of all
public questions has given rise ; nor of the indisposition
which is but too palpably manifested by the House to
approach the subject with any view to an elucidation of
the canoes from which so much national calamity has
resulted —or to devise a remedy for the unparallelled
sufferings of the people.—The Duke of RICII MOND
brought forward, in the House of Lords, his promised
motion " that a Select Committee be appointed to inquire
into the condition of the labouring classes, and also re-
lative to those taxes which pressed more immediately on
the productive classes of the country." That such a pro-
position should find no adequate sympathy in the breasts
of the aristocracy, is not a matter of surprise to us—bat
that the Prime Minister of England should, after all that
has taken place in both Houses of Parliament, and
throughout the country, persist in asserting that " he did
not think the distress of the country was general,
and, indeed, he believed it was gradually subsiding,"—
would, under any other administration, have startled

us into a doubt almost of the evidence of our own
senses. But we live in strange times, and it is, after all,
perhaps too much to expect, that a statesman who pro-
fessed but one short month ago that he could not see that
distress which' pervaded the kingdom, and infested_ the
very heart of the Metropolis, should even now be eon-
vinced, by the unremitted complaints of the people, that
distress was general, or that it was not gradually-sub-

siding.--The recommendation with which the Duke of
WELLINGTON concluded his speech deserves to be writ-
ten in characters of brass. He is told that the country
is labouring under unprecedented wretchedness, and the
people enduring the worst privations; and in reply, he
entreats the House of Lords " not to enter upon the
subject"—[that is, the condition ofthe labouring poor]—
" in a hurry, but to wait before 04 adopted any mea-
sure, until the country was restored to a state of
prosperity U!" We cannot trust ourselves to comment
upon such language.

Again is the mighty master, METTERNICH, immortal
for gigantic schemes of political turpitude, checked in the
full course of his unhallowed triumphs—compelled by
the present example of mental advancement and public
principle, so energetically manifested by France, to sus-
pect himself, ere yet he finds a refuge from remorse in
the grave of execration, to hare been but a moral SNIT-
Pmvs,—self-condemned, by the most barbarous and in-
exorable misanthropy, to roll a guilty theory against the
rapid rise of social improvement, only to be crushed at last,
by the returning weight of his enormous wickedness.
The fate of POLION AC must sound a peal of desolation
to his soul, tortured with the damning conviction that his

inhuman systems have wrung Europe's teats in vain. Ye
tyrants of Spain and Portugal—ye fulsome minions con-
spiring against French liberty and intellect—and ye,
graduates in the school of the Holy Alliance, doomed
for your sins and ours to perpetuate the principles of the
unblest, the merciless CASTLF.REAOII--WILLIBOTON,
and ABERDEEN, will ye not awaken to the fallacy of
those hideous precepts inculcated by your living master—
the reynard of Austria—only to secure for himself and his
disciples a fate of unavailing turmoil and discomfiture ?
baited when living, to be unlamented in death. Does not
misgiving and regret grapple faster and faster at your
hearts, while the malediction of nations is in wrath poured
out upon your heads ? Straining as in crucifixion, at the
expence of all that is dear, to realize frantic dreams—
which, till total destruction overtakes those nations, never
more must be indulged in with success by the grandees
of the earth—ye revoke the truth—persecute the million
—and, in the tempest you provoke, sicken at life until al-
most afraid to retuember yealso have carotid arteries. Have
sixteen years of experience not proved the impracticabi-
lity of restoring—or even of preserving—cast-off institu-
tions, and superannuated systems in corruption ! Society,
violently shaken from the sleep of ages, is up and on the
march ; and, to suspend its progress, is to arrest the influx
of the ocean. In spite of the Old Man of the Mountain,
resuscitated with all his mischievous power in the Cabinet
of Austria, whose devoted bands are everywhere commis-
sioned to stab at the heart of liberty, and exterminate
constitutions, the people—feeling that they have heads,
as well as hands—assume the right of judgment ; and

that has opened their conception to all those other
rights which free citizens should claim. From frontier
to frontier the sublime light of truth is extending, like
the rapid dawn of a new day ; and all Europe presents
the interesting spectacle of regenerated millions, about to
break the insupportable chains of barbarous ages to vin-
dicate this—the noblest privilege of Man—Liberty ! In
spite of the extinguisher, the forbidden spark still smoul-
ders in the Peninsula. Italian minds ferment in silence ;
improving civilization is gradually rousing the people of
the North to a full sense of their proper dignity ; and
France, holding a bright flambeau—anxious to atone for
the too violent convulsion of her first effort to reform—
promises now to be their leader and their model. It was
to counteract these portentous movements, that POLIGNAC
wnspromoted,with the band of conspirators, in league to up-
hold despotic power. His blind veneration for crowns, and
the halo which gilds every thing appending to them,
formed him to a tool after Austria's own heart. While the
exclusive Aristocratic principle which has grown with his
growth, and strengthened with his strength—fixed mere
deeply by sufferings and resentments in exile, together
with the disgusting recollections of a people in revolu-
tionary delirium, misled in ignorance, and betrayed by
demagogue monsters—fitted him also by characteristic
bias to march in unison with our illustrious DUKE. Se-
conded by the zeal of FERDINAND, MIGUEL, and ABER-
DEEN, Europe was yet perhaps condemned to writhe under
increasing fetters, had not the people of France spurned the
agent delegated by this black confederacy, to impose the
secret chain on Europe's strongest member—now doubt-
less compelled to abandon a place he pretended to hold,
whether the people would or not. We must hope he
soon will be relieved, by one of liberal principles and
modern notions, a friend of public improvement and con-
stitutional rights ; and as CASTLEREAG 11, with the other
blessings he conferred on mankind, promoted and sup-
ported the Cabinet of VILLELE, while CANNING
helped our neighbours to the liberal ministry which
broke down under the WELLINGTON influence—so let
us pray that the British people in turn may profit by
the example of our neighbours and deliver themselves—
or rather be delivered—from a Cabinet so ineffective
and mischievous as that which now presides over our
destinies—a Cabinet, in which a shameless majority
daily disgraces us in the eyes of all Europe—blind to
truth—deaf to our prayers—tender only of their blood-
money; namely, those salaries and pensions they hold
by the atrocious sacrifice of millions of their suffering
fellow subjects.

In a letter to which we willingly give insertion this
day, Mr. Buciatiouz at has ably, and in our opinion
triumphantly, vindicated his character from the prejudi-
cial aspersion to which it has been so unmeritedly sub-
jected. The plain unvarnished statement which he has
there given of the services which he has so zealously la-
boured for fifteen years to render to his countrymen and
to all mankind--and of the sacrifices which he has so

freely made in the pursuit of his patriotic object, forms a
striking contrast indeed to the melancholy picture, which
a rense of self-respect compels him to present to the
world, of the condition to which he has been reduced by
the unmitigated rigour of those to whom he is but too
well justified in attributing all his sufferings; and
the ingratitude—for it deserves no milder term—of those
who, whilst they eagerly availed themselves of his power-
ful

elucidation of the true policy of England,

and profited by his dear-bought experience, bad neither
the generosity nor the justice to reward, as he unques-
tionably deserves, the man whose " valuable labours"
they so warmly eulogized.—Upon this subject the Ply-
mouth Journal makes the following observations :

" Mr. Bacrusteatix still nobly:pursues his patriotic career,
and convinced as we feel of the enormous advantages which the
Poet of Plymouth is, from its peculiar situation, capable of deriving
from the hes extension of our Oriental eanunerce • to every part of
the British empire, we are at once grieved and astonished that the
inhabitants of these towns should be so blind to their own interests,
and so indifferent to the general prosperity of the nation, as not to
solids the memos of this Illustrious champion at British rights
and the delivery of at last one course of his interesting, enter-
taining, and Instructive ketoses. When national delusion hur-
ried forward sambas to petition for a dangerous invasion
of the fundamental principles of our Protestant constitution,
under the sereneass impression, artfully created and factiously main.
tainted. that they were thus contributing to the extends. of that
civil and religious liberty which they were, In geed truth, fa-
tally undermining—so laiumenanses was percepdble in the
party madness of the bosh-es sophistry was wanting to con.
inn Musks—and strength= holm. But when a question
is under ameideestion, which involves, not the intense; of the

small minority, not the cause of a six* religious seat—but the in-
terests, the rights, the liberties, and the privileges of every free bay
Briton, of any, of every, or of no, religious persuasion ; when a
question is under consideration whose decision may either give fresh
vigour to our Commeree—staunch the bleeding wounds of the nation

—and infuse health and prosperity into every ieparunent of the oa.
Halal resources, every dependency of the British empire—or lock up
our national energies in barren torpor foe another half or quarter cer.
tury of unavailing sorrow, and withering despondence—can the men of
Plymouth look on with apathetic silence—can the townsmenof:the
mighty Brume hesitate to participate in the general feeling which
the illustrious BUCKINGHAM has so successfully awakened through.
out the country—Forbid It shades of the honoured dead—forbid it,
ye departed champions of Britain's fame—ye canonized directors of
her avenging thunders."
