* TO CORRESPONDINTS. . t.
Tam Out Laernm—Me ham receiml nmmomenieadon front
this steady (rind and champion of Ramey ithostiaboare far tiM
public good have bees long watehed—and idiftily appreciated by
us—in the columns of the RelloborghiCaaminon ala Leiter ahall
appear to morrow.
The expedient of adjourning the meeting of the French
Chambers till the 4th of March, a measure unprecedent-
ed since the restoration, is of the highest importance,
and calculated more than any other sign to show
.the
alarms of the Court. It win add greatly to the irrita-
tion of the people, without preventing the inevitable fats
which awaits. the POLIGNAC Sinishy. The 'political
horizon of our teeighbours becomes hourly men glessuy.

Some intercede* dUtalis have reached us by the 'Lis-
bon mail, but too WO fa/nannies to-day :• we lave also
sera a friend who arrived in the packet. He describes
the situation of the Capital and Provinces to be most do-
pbrable. The whole country is, in act, only waiting for
ilie.execodon of those =wares, which are looked for
with, the greatest impatience, in order to throw of the
yoke of the Apostolicals,. now become equelly bagful
and intolerable.
The continued predilection and furious • inal. of a cer-
tain Individual, in favour of the ruling factios, nod to

which we have more than wee called the attention of
Lord ABILZDILLIT, is still II subject of loud and bitter
complaint. The valuable letter of our Correspondent
shall appear to-morrow.

We have received a letter signed Civic, on the sub-
ject of the representation of the People, for which—al-
though a rues of other matter does not admit of its publi-
cation—we desire to thank him. Many others, besides
Civic, have been roused—and will be—by the perusal
of SI DN CT'S letters. " I ask you'—says our Corre-
spondent—" in the solemn voice of truth, in the simple
character of a plain citizen of this great empire deploring
the prostration of my Country's energies,—whether the
present House of Commons is a Representative Assembly
of her aggrieved, afflicted people ? and I anticipate your

- -
No r' In sooth. it needs no powers of a cos-

juror, to have anticipated this, to whomsoever the ques-
tion had been addressed : but it is gratifying to find how
universal the conviction is become, not only that rotten-
ness exists at the very core of the Constitution, but
that this rottenness must be cat assay, or we shall
politically perish. Our Correspondent continues :
" The present system of Representation cannot—we
might almost declare—shall not last. The nation
will no longer be hoodwinked. Such boroughs as

Lmersham and d Wendover—two out of two hundred

such—must not be permitted to mock the great pri-
vilege they hold. The dignity of the assembly of a great
people is not to be insulted, by the thrusting into its

councils and debates mere

straws and stubble—while such cities as Manchester and
Birmingham are without any representation at all."
Assuredly not: but the extinction of such boroughs as
those above named—whose case has long been hopeless

even with those, whose best hopes are entwined with
corruption—would go but a short way towards the
remedy. The entire borough system must be cut
away root and branch—it must be superseded by one of
district, instead of town, election—and the elective pri-
vilege must be very greatly extended. The franchise
must be conferred on copyholds and leaseholds : for after
all, the respectability of the mass of the people is lease-
hold in a large majority—and it is the mass of the people,
or it ought to be, who compose the constituency of
England. This farther popularisation of suffrage will do
much to diminish the mischief arising from individual
corruption, which will naturally grow dispirited, when it
perceives the great extentof surface over which its no
longer sufficient bribes must be spread, and their propor-
tionally hazardous application, and uncertain efficacy.
We said a long time ago that we were not the advocates
—and that we never should become such—of Um t v e as AL
SUFFRAGY : but, without departing from the spirit in
which we made that declaration, we do here profess
ourselves friendly to the principle of the greatest possible
extension of the elective privilege, as one of the surest
safeguards of purity in our Parliamentary returns. Even
BEN TII AM —the pure, the radical, the unqualifying—
excepts whole classes from this important exercise, in his
plans of reformed election: it may be predicated,
therefore, of UNIVIRIAL SUFFRAGE, that it is a mine-
seer originating with the distinguished and learned
Reformer himself, who means no more by it than
a judicious generalisation of the right of voting. For it is
a self-evident proposition, that in the same ratio
as our elective constituency shall be limited or nu-
merous, the power, or incapacity to corrupt that consti-
tuency, will be found always to correspond. We advo-
cate, on these grounds, the principle of a greatly ex-
tended--but discriminate—delegation of the right of
suffrage.

The rumours of an embryo RICHMOND administration
have died away, but the ministry of the Duke of WEL-
LINGTON is affirmed—with greater confidence than Oyer
—to be in its mortal agonies.

We this day conclude the second series of the letters
from Columbia. It is unnecessary to observe upon their
importance, and the ability with which they are executed.
The third series, however, which we have received, will
establish still more solidly the reputation of the writer,
as an Historian, a Statesman, and an Administrator.
Hitherto that class of readers must have felt most in-
terested, who attend chiefly to the political transactions
and general events which mark the career of nations :
but the third series will, towards its conclusion, particu-
larly merit the attention and study of every one connected
with the industry, commerce, and financial resources of
the New World.
