THE STATESMAN.

- ' LONDON:
Tilt WAY, Ares ID 9,181 i.
t3eligolan4 Mail arrived this morning, Which
berely eoutaina tits foliating article :
" BELIGOLAND. Anat.&
" Since last Mail there have been several arrivals
film the opposite coast, and some paisengers, who
have fled from Ilauturgh, to avoid being drawn in
toxxeAatz's new general conscription. By these
we learn, that NAPULIO2I is every day expected to
take the commend of the French Army, in the in-
terior of Poland, in person ; that greet exertions
have been lately made to pave and repair the roads
through wh'e't he is expkted to pasx ; anti that lie is
to hold a conference with the Emperor of' Annutx,
at F►erea, on the Shine, M which place it has been
arranged the two Igesperort are to meet. It is also
stated, that the greatest discontent prevdils all over
the Continent, in consequence of the late extended
conscription:"

itt9f VG OF TIM MINERS t COrtV*ALL.
In addition to the incalculable number of proofs
which exist of the dreadful state to which the Country
bas been tedueed by the ptolligacy of Ministers, we
regret to find that the Miners of Cornwall) no longer
able to bear the inall of evil with which they are op. I
pressed, blue, within these fear days, shewn strong
symptoms of a disposition to proceed to extremities.
On Monday last, they assembled together in the
heighbourhood of Truro, and compelled several fat-
ten to subscribe a paper, obliging them to dispose of
their grain at t greatly teduced price. In other rt.
epeets they behaved very quietly. The assistance of
the military *is called for; and on Monday evening,
When our 'comets came awaf, our Correspondent
writes frees Truro, which place about 1000 of them
had entered, that every thing was then quiet. The
#ollowing is a copy of the letter which we reegived by
this day's post :0-&
" TRURO. Atittl, 6, lets.
eg trade is :el deed here, and every necessary
of life very high.-bread-corn in particular being so
high, bad hardly to be get for money ; the conse-
quence of which isi that the KINILSI Hal's ant!. in
Abe different parishes adjoining, and have been to
several farmers in adfaelghbourbeed,whont they how
made sign a paper to sell wheat at 30s. per bushel,
which was refused it 4ts.—barley which was
riefosed at 30s.—and potatoes at 6s. a bushel, which
were refined at 12s. This is the first day of their ris-
ing, and They hate come into Truro to the number,
I should suppose, of about 1000; but have behaved
themselves very quietly. How it will cud I cannot
; but, from their present disposition, they do
rot appear to be bent upon any mischief, and they
say they do not intend to bur( any one. This,
morning, about elevon o'clock, the drums beat to
arms, to call out till Staff of the total Militia,.
vs hich assembled, and also what ptivates were in
town, to guard against any surprise; but every
thing is now quiet, and the Tinders appear to be
going borne, es *one are seen in the street: it is
now near seven o'clock in the evening."
Here then is a display, altogether uninfluenced by
politics, of the miseries _which the war has brought
on the people of this country. The actual want of
bread—Amine staring them in the face—is the sole
cause of this alarming commotion. But the evil is
not confined to Cornwall. Almost every other
county in the United Kingdom, is groaning under
the weight of those calamities consequent on our pre-
sent political system. En the County of Lancaster, oue
of the most populous of our manufitettving counties,
these evils hare been felt se severely, that no less than
1000 people in the town of Blackburn, have Wee

Impelled to implore the Legislature, for " sympathy
and eommisseration." In their Petition, a copy of
which is in our possession, they particularly point out
the high price of provisions—the tontinued redue-
tioil of *ages—the frequent interruptions of labour—
the cossequent difficulty of obtaining a bare subsist-
enee—th• rapid advancement of parochial rates—the t
inereasing deficiencies in the collection of messed
f antithe exhaustion of the litti•stores of the mid-
ni flosses, who ate fast melting down into the lower
riffs of the community. This picture, which we
oriw to be no way overcharged, way be regarded
us faithful delineation if the situation of every
manufacturing town in England. lii Scotland the
,ituation of this class of the inhabitants, is equally
distressing. There, intelligent people, a which the
number are increasing very fast, bate but One ori-
nion, if those are excepted who are interested in
supporting corruption. The enormous taxes are
r;:nching, lad waking many speak one ; and the op.
preseiremanner in which these are leTied, particularly
the Interne Tat, is exciting universal disgust, and
causing thousaade, we tide* say millions, to hate
the Government, who would otherwise he well ef-
fected. a Those who advise such measures;' says
an 'intelligynt Correspondent in the North, " are
the worst 'itemise of their ICING, and they wilt, per-
