SPIRIT OP THE JOURNALS.

Cnionrci.a...—The intelligence from the Netherlands leaves us still
in the dark respecting the denomination of the Government. Reports
of further engagements are in circulation; but we know not what cre-
dit they are entitled to. We are satisfied that a change, and an im.
portant change, must take place. The King has himself to blame for
the desire of the Belgians to separate themselves from the Dutch, be.
cause, instead of endeavouring to conciliate the two nations, he has re-
edy availed hkrnelf of the Dutch to any measures odious to the
Besides, the Belgians are fairly entitled to know how their
ailitanaire managed; and to prevent that petty interference with trade
which may add to the wealth of the King, but must injure the people.
However, kis a question for their own settlement. It is understood
that the uke of Wellington thought, that as we had been at the ex.
pence of large sums in constructing this kingdom, and saucing It from
abroad, we bad a title to see that our wink should not be rendered of no
avail, but that his Grace did not find the King disposed to second his
views. The King, likes sensible man, it is said, thought we might
have better employed our money than in building castles in the Nether-
lands; but having so spent our money, if the people of the Netherlands
did not choose to take the benefit of our outlay, it would be a foolish
thiintg in us to throw away mere money on them. The King fads as an
Englishman ought to feel reopening this absurd Continental system.—
His Grace is hardly an impartial judge in matters respecting the Ne-
therlands—the scene of his glory.

Cline'mtg.—The appointment of Prince Talleyrand as Ambas-
sador to Great Britain cannot fail to be gratifying to those who look
forward to an enduring good understanding between the two countries,
on the basis of a common interest in the support of the principles
of the British Revolution. In the first place, it cannot be coo.
sidered as ether than complimentary, that the French should
play their great card (for so be dearly is) to England, when there
were' so many other quarters where diplomatic relations were much
less Clear and mound. Secondly, the fact itself is no mean confirms.
dot of the strength of the existing Government in France. Every
body knows that the Napolooniets declared to the last, that they
should have infallibly succeeded, (f only TaUeyrend had Mud.—
Thirdly, though there may be individuals in England bitterly hostile
to the establishment of French independence, who could ride Prince
Tallerand down at the bead of a regiment of heavy horse, these same
individuals are very likely to be kept in check by the acknowledged
mental superiority of the veteran of Continental diplomacy. Foly
and lastly, the abeoludsts in

have given tokens, that *het for
these roomette, or some others, they very much dislike the t.
After which, it may almost be permitted to wind up, like with
" Which we. to be demonstrated." The most important part of the
paragraph relating to M. de Tallman' is the following from the
Consfitediausei s—" This latter rentialossmos (that of the Ciegreees of
Vienna) has, doubtless, its part in the simpler favours which entrust to
him a mission equally important and dames; for we are aentredybai

However, that time is gene by. la the emus et Ramps there is sow a
notion of thirty-two mMos,, who have bunt tie hams of the Holy
Alliance. Them can be no longer any secret semplendes of Despots
against the liberties and independence of the People of Imps; because
there can be DO Cabinet Seams where the yelmdpal endue of Europe,
without whose concurrence not a cannot dwelt trod, must be con.
suited. The French are men and not bass see, who can only fight
under the fear of the Knout, the Cudgel, or the Cat-0%1;1;104AM ; and
the Despots of Europe know this right well. It has been often observed
that men are never so ready to hazard their lives, es at that period when
life has most attraction. Of all nations the French seem to have the
most enjoyment of life; and yet, without detracting from the malt of
any other nation,:it may be safely said, that the French are the readiest
to rush on death.

Tuuts.—lt is not easy to °oarlike a man who has got but one ides
in his bead, that his single notion h a wrong one. The difficulty is
much enhanced, when the individual or class led away by his or its In.
fatuation has been forced in a manner to adopt it, as a desperate expe-
dient for the relief of some severe praetkal suffering,—a condition of
mind which makes the error extremely pitiable, and which entitles the
entertainer of it to the kindest consideration and forbearance. The mon•
moue mischief which would have been entailed upon the Parisian
workmen themselves, as well u the criminal outrage perpetrated upon
the property of their employers, and the serious evil to society, had
they succeeded in their project of destroying all printing machinery,
and in establishing a system of manual to the exclusion of mechanical

labour have beta dwelt upon by the press both of France and England,
and been so ably maintained by others in illustration of the sim-
ple and almost elementary truth, that maehihery is In the long tun be-
neficial to the working manufacturers themselves. almost in the direct
proportion in which it supersedes for it cannot wholly banish—manual
labour. Destroy machinery in one country, and what follows? That
the consumption of that country is forthwith supplied br foreigners,
who are wise enough to retain their engines unbroken. Destroy ma-
chinery all over the world, and what follows? That an immense pri-
vation will be visited upon the great bulk of mankind—that a vast in.
crease of labour must be employed in the production of every article of
taste or use, or necemity—that the prices of such articles must be en.
helloed in all directions—the enjoyment of them foregone by great num-
bers who now poems them, much fewer articles of exchangeable value
created--a less general surplus of the produce of industry, after pro.
viding for the coarsest wants of mankind, called into being. With de.
creasing majors everywhere, there must be everywhere a steady but
rapid extension of absolute poverty, and a corresponding relapse of
society into the rudest and most helpless barbarism. Many letters re-
ceived on this subject are not argumentative, but vehement and decla-
matory. The assumption which runs through the whole of them is
perhaps the must revolting for its absurdity that could be imagined, via.
that for every machine destroyed a number of hands would be brought
into employment capable of producing she some amount of marketable
commodity as had heretofore been manufactured by the discarded
mechanism. The reason why no such consequences could be
looked for is, that the demand would no longer take up the
same amount of merchandise at triple or quadruple the
former price. The consumption diminishing In propottioa to the rise
of price, it follows that three-fourths or four-fifths of the workmen
would be sent adrift because of the destruction or abolition of the ob-
noxious machinery. But the sacrifice of workmen would not stop
there; for in consequence of the yeses& destruction of mechanical up.
paratus, the whole community would be so much impoverished, that the
number of consumers for may sae commodity in any branch of trade
would fall sheet evenof an Invereeproportion to theaugmented cost. Our
