ingl—whether we have properly or not-124.6.4
attitudes, such is the great Powers at theCongre,,
of Vienna have been practising for the bei„,rit
and edification of mankind here and hereafter—_;,„d
moral altitudes, not such as those which a min rms.
be supposed to assume, when at one powerful (lei:un..
ciation he abolishes, instantly and for ever, the matt
horrid system of moral degradation that ever di,
graced humanity—the trade in human Ilesh—ti,e
commanding attitude which bids tens of thousands of
unhappy wretches

T:teir thanktets labour urge,
And trembling take the pittance and the wourxe."
But we must take such an attitude-0 such attitudes!
as may authorize and support the continuance of that,
dreadful violation of divine and human law for
,:jeurt,
aye ! and the siolation of many solemn engagements,
guaranteeing freedom and independence to states that
bled to acquire it :—Great Britain it seems must do
this, and all this—Great Britain that should feel
covered with a universal blush to hear it, for the page
of her eventful history has never been stained uith se
foul a blot.

It is to the Congress of Vienna—to such menu
Lord CASTLEREAGH MO TALLEYRAND---te the spirit
1 whith breathes in such letters as these two worthy
Statesmen have been addressing to one another, and
the countries who were to receive their doom frost
them, that the world is indebted for the re-appearanos
of NAPOLEON BONAPAwni on the theatre of events,
clothed with imperial power, and garments per.
haps dyed in the purple stream of many natinns;_
and that almost every State R hich kid a , ht to be
I acknowledged and maintained, or a boon t., receive
I from the Congress of Potentates, has been filled sith
indignation and complaint at the proceeding of the
Great Assembly; and yet Lord CASTLEREAGHO4O6
up, attitudinizing before the British House of Com.
' mons and the world, and talk! about the " presiding
wisdom," and the other wonderful endowments and
just and magnanimous acts of the said Cangress,
where he and TALLEYRAND; 'end the rest of tha
political Jesuits, were seen so conspicuously pre.
siding, and the blessings that have crowned their
perseverance, and the universal satisfaction that their
decisions have given, and must give, when they arc
all told !—and there are persons in this country, whs
think his Lordship speaks sense when he talks in this
manner, and that it is just and proper we should
have a war, and fifteen millions of additional tem.
lion to maintain these decision!, and his Lorikiiip's
ideas of a political balance, which cannot, it seetv,
be completed, unless the dead-weight of the Lion.
EONS be upraised and thrown into the scalq!
But " the country is in a mixed state,"—and so
have been the brains of those who hove oecaiioned
this fearful and universal mixty maxty, which War,
and the Property Tax, and the other Taus 164 must
follow, will not tend to lessen.

We understand that several respectable Memhert
of the Corporation and of the Livery of London
i hare signed a Requisition, which is to be presented
to the LORD MAYOR, to procure a Meeting both of
the Common Councij and of a Common Hall, is
I order to take into consideration Addresses of Re•
! monstrance in a suitable form, to prevent any preci-
pitate measures that may be undertaken by Ministers
to plunge this country into a protracted and destruc-
tive war, until it shall have been ascertained that
every attempt to preserve peace by fair and honour-
able negociation shall have failed of effect. Similar
Meetings are also intended to-be held with the view
of opposing the renewal of thelloppressive and imai-
sitorial Tax on Income.
