LONDOX:
WEILINSID•T STENING. An&L 16, 119

It has been stated in a Ministerial paper, as from
0041 autherPg, "that an arrangimeat betsien rats
ilnurtauttsuen ransoms is nearly, if not qui,e, uu.
pleted ; and that the Lady will rontinue w •emp
abroad." In forming this determination, it is sehict!,
She is tail to have been influenced by the advice
an habitual Oppusitionist, who did mot esmsalt his p 6
lilies at the expense of his duty." It would hr ti „,
ridiculous affectation to pretend not to understaml tLe
meaning couched in this laragraph. The sortx•
cuirtits.o reasoms alluded to, occupy to Isle s 1.-.
tion of the public attention, not to be immediately
discerned beneath the veil thrown over their maul;
and as the subject is of no common inspertsace, ui
the Lady, on her part, requires, heretic she meth,
so cosecs/meet, there can be uu impropriety et inde-
licacy in restoring the 'withal' to its peeper skape.
fsta Qc rem, it therefore appe.srs, has hos mks
more advised to sacrifice her interests M the wislos
rap din a high quarter, and the tepee et
Ilsriterl's Ministers. It is surely net yet holm-
ten, that it was a similar disposition is seethe sad
conciliate, which induced her sons years since
to banish herself from a country Owe than:
she was destined to share. Neither can it be denied
that, instead of producing the abet which her cos-
descension merited, her absence basally served to is-
crease the malice of her /emirs, and to encourage
them to heap additional co Is of fire upon her head.

be attended with salutary results to its keg ratering

difficulties of Government, the infliassmability

sacrificed her just rights, and the enjoyineut

convinced, will be found the only prir.iple

Peace of Amiens was made, still rose in the scale. In
1903 the War was renewed—in 1801 Bonaparte as•
sated the Purple, and Pitt returned to power; all
events of the deepest importance. in 1805 the Battle
of Ansterlitx was fought—in Itso6 Mr. Pitt died —in

• An 1508 the War in the Peninsula broke out ; all

,to ling events are fresh in the recollection of our
leviers : the retreat of Moore, the successful campaigns
of Wellesley, the snbjugat ion of all Germany, and, finally,
tSt invasion of Russia—the destruction of the French
tansy in 1813 was more important than any year that
Lail occurred since the beginning of the French Revo-
lution. It terminated in the delis erance of Ilermany.
'l'hr next year was crop nod by the conquest of France,
t;.r orrnpation of Paris and the deposition of Napo-
iron. Here our laboars might be supposed to have

,en, A, but the people began to cry for bread, work,
. nil reform, and the year concluded by passing !ix Acts
at Parliament, which changed the whole frame of our
C institution.
The effects of all these terrible event. are row felt
in
the Revolution being closed, it is manifest to all that
a tremendous explosion is at hand. Indeed the Hero-
lotion has already begun. In one little month it has
laid the greatest despotism in Europe in ashes. The
Spanish Constitution is theoretically a Republic. The
King is rend. red powerless. The t reach are in a
state of the most fearful agitation, increased by a sus-
rnsion, if not a total repeal of their Charter. tier-
witty is agitated from its centre to its utmost extre-
mities—and England, the envy anal glory of the world,
is toiling on the mighty wean, like a goodly ship,
befitted by the winds of Heaven, and by the waters or
the Isep. Her finances, her great stay, her rudder,
are deraneed, and the crew are in mutiny.
Such is the period at which the Representatives ofl
the nation are called together—a period, paramount in
importance, we will venture to say, to any that has
gone before. They assemble at a time in which com-
rneree is poralired, agriculture ruined, and a great
.airtion of the people stare ng and disaffected. 'I key'

taxer—the artisans are starving—the agricultural in-
terest. notwithstanding what has been done for them,

abettor we look abroad or at home, was England in
such a crisis as she is at this moment—never were the
Representatives of a great nation so deeply responsible
—never were men placed in such awful accountability,
as the Member, of the present Imperial Parliament.
