Itcauses SMCII —II duet not appear that Ger
able Ministers are tery conversaot in the Works of
philosophers, or they would have taken Lord BACON'S
advice on a recent occasion. Lord Ilscos says,—
" Princes had need, in tender !natters and ticklish
times, to beware whir they say, espcially in those
short speeches which fly abroad like darts, and are
thought to be shot oat of their secret intentions.—
For as to large discourses, they are flit things, and
not so meek noted. I have remarked that some witty
and sharp apeeclam which have fallen from Princes,'
have given fire to %editions." Ministers appear in
the business alluded tn. to have acted quite contrary
to his Lordship's counsel, incept that none cars accuse
them of introducing any thing " witty" or " sharp"
in the Speech.—God knows, it was flat enough,
though abort.
Ilitestim, A vo. 3.—ln on. of Re pulpits here, a
Picture of the Pince was lately drawn, which ap-
pears to us to be only too true. We hope the words
of the worthy Preacher will ant he lost in the wit-
Ilerness :—" A dreadful distrust now prevails be-
tween the People and their Prior's. The one party
sees the promises which were made in holy gratiterle
for the most distinguished fidelity, lamely or only
half fulfilled ; the other party sees conspiracy and
revolt stealing through all provinces and ranks,
where men are only united together by unity of see..
tioient. Here so individual is deprived of his cffice
soil his liberty for the boldness of Nis language in
public; there nine hundred men, who merely %jelled
to lay their humble petition at the feet of their Sour-
reign. are not even allowed to be heard' • • • • •
• • IP. What thousands have achieved, suffered,
sacrificed, sod struggled for —what they offered up
with joy for their country—seems new to be wholly
forgotten. The graves of oar fallen saviours are
hardly green, sod yet their work seems alrestly es•
tioguished from the memories of those in whom,
when dj ins and conquering, they reposed their cons
fi•lertce. The claimant must beg for justice as an
alms, and even then scarcely obtains it. Even those
persons who in the dreary night of arbitrary power,
were be eeeee of light and justice, who by their wit...
logs and speeches elicited the spirit which broke tie
fetters of the People, who from their wisdom and dis•
position, sod courage, and
.lent
,are
speakers

ed and consecrated by d mno tor one
cwentry or province, bet for ibe age and for sin-
kind, have Weems the victims of a blind fery.''.
