rendered his discomfiture as complete as his advocacy
had been 'disingenuous and unprincipled. Yet he must
earn the bitter bread of Court dependanee; he has be-
trayed the confidence of the people beyond all hope of re-
stitution ; and • he must do the bidding of his proud and
peremptory patrons--be that bidding what it may. The
incipient measure of that daring project which these Pa-
trons are now cautiously and gradually developing, must
be defended ;—the public mind must be reconciled
to the existence, and then to the necessity of the
gendarmerie force, when deprived of the Constits-
tional Police ; and the public eye must be familiarised
to the appearance of " the poor men in coarse blue coats
and oil-skin capes" before our absolute Ministers will
hazard the introduction of that perfect military system
which they are now busily organising, or fill our streets
with a standing army, under the popular denomination of
a constabulary power. That inch a form of Govern-
went is even now preparing for this country, we
no more doubt, than " we look upon the New Police.
as part and parcel of a plan for introducing des-
potism,"—to use the weld& of the proselyte Globe,
which we have taught to consider (deny it as he may)
" espionage as inseparable from the establishment of the
blue-coated watchmen."--It is pleasant to meet with
even one indication of candour in so apt a pupil of the
courtier's school, and when such apostates admit of their
" own absurd boasting," they betray at least one pang of
lingering regret for the abandonment of professions
which they could only relinquish with dishonour—but
having once fallen—
' They fall like Lucifer never to rise again !"
It moves our pity—almost as much as our contempt—to
see the shifts, the devices, the tricks, to which the un-
masked mock-patriot has recourse, in the vain hope of
so assimilating two such conflicting tasks as to acquire
credit with his new allies, and to uphold that specious de-
lusion which he has practised so long upon the objects of
his treachery, that " custom hath given hypocrisy in him
the property of nature." Dismayed by the easy exposure
of his subtlety, he shrinks from the attack which he had the
temerity to provoke, and dares not " singly face the foe :"
but gathering courage from the example of mightier
minds, debased by their alliance in the same bad cause,
he keeps aloof from the point from which he was first
beaten, and contents himself with a random shot or two,
in the securest sort of bush-fighting. We hear no more
of his mock-heroics--his blundering ridicule of the
espionage instructions—no vapouring about " the improved
condition of the streets,"—" the nests of pl underers broken
up"—" the rarity of complaints or the easiness of redress
against the New Police, as compared with those against
the watchmen."—No, no :—these are matters capable of
proof—and requiring something more than vague asser-
tion ; and they are therefore no longer discussed by the
Globe ; who not satisfied with " begging the question,"
in the most contemptible fashion of the most contemptible
servility, indulges in a long and unmeaning disquisition
upon the qualities of " mobs"—distinguishing par-excel-
lence the " desperately rough mob of London," which we
are told "is now a matter of history." Is it so indeed ?
Is the Meeting of Spa-fields so soon forgotten ? Or was,
that only " a bugbear played off by the Government
against the people of property ?" Really, Ministers
should institute some species of Censorship over the
pages of the parasite, who, in the height of his adulation,
vilifies the very Government whose tool he has become,
by accusing them of " playing off the mob as a
bug-bear against people of property,"—an expedient
so full of danger,—so unconstitutional—so monstrous,
that those who dare to re4ort to it should be impeached and
prosecuted with the utmost rigour of the offended law.
The Globe, however, merits some indulgence at the
hands of Ministers, for the boldness with which, in the
face of the people of England, he talks of " the modesty
of the Government" that invaded the liberties of the
country, by the infamous " Six Acts."—The modesty oti

CITY. TweLvs o'CLota.
The Funds, which were yesterday rather heavy. have somewhat
improved this morning. owing to the various reports of the
Illness
of the &Irma of Russia being discredited. Consols, which left
off yesterday at 941 j for the Account, have been done at 94j,
since which they continue, alternately buyers and sellers at the

latter price.
In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet.
CITY, HALF-PAST ONE.
The Funds have remained stationary the whole of the morning
at 941 / for the Account, without a feature of importance, and the
business doing is scarce worth obsersadon.

We bate neither reports or 'Utica information.
Bombay Papers have come to hand to the 2d August.
They do not contain any information of oonseque.nce.
Quebec Papers to the Bth Nov. and Montreal to the
10th Nov. have been received at the North and South
American Coffee-house. Both these papers contain an
account of a severe storm which was experienced at
Quebec on the Saturday, which has done great damage
to the small crafts, and three or four schooners.
11 At the North and South American Coffee House letters
are received from the Havannah, of the 26th of October,
which state that the whole of the Spanish fleet had ar-
rived there. The Chilian, Butler, and the Cornelia,
Constant, from Tampico, arrived at the Havannah on the
24th October, with 19 Spanish Officers, and 448 sol-
diers. Accounts from New Orleans, of the 22d of Oc-
tober, received at New York, state, that General Bar-
Iradas was still in that city. By a passenger who arrived
in the above city, reports that, in the late gale at Tam-
pico, the United States sloop of war Hornet, was dis-
masted ; and the Hound and Eclipse, of New Orleans,
were lost.
NIAGARA, October 16.---On the 2d instant, his Ex-
cellency the Lieutenant Governor, accompanied by two
gentemen, pasted through Dundee, on his way to
Amersthurgh. We understand his Excellency had a
consultation with the Indian Chiefs, respecting the
title for the lands, on whiCh the beautiful and
flourishing village of Brandford stands.—lt appears
that the title for this ground is founded on a lease
from the Indians, which is considered not secure
his Excellency is, therefore, anxious that the land should
be sold and surrendered to Government (by the Indiana)
from whom a good and sufficient title might be obtained'
by those who have already built, or might wish to build
thereon.
