on the 6:lr inst., but neither its nature nor the means
by which it was brought to light are mentioned. The
party of the present Ministry, and the party of the Coo-

the military Chiefs of the opposition have been sent to

We do not forgot that, previous to the opening of
the present Session of Parliament, we expressed some-
thing like a sanguine expectation that the abuses of
which the nation complains would receive some cor-
rection from the bands of the Country Gentlemen. A
superficial observer of the proceedings and votes in
the House of Commons, will, perhaps, be inclined to
say. that we have erred considerably in our calcula-
tion ; and the cries of triumph which fill the Ministe-
rial journals, will seem to be justified by the conduct
of the House. The &fanny Gentlemen have not
opened their eyes, we are ready to confess, to the ex-
tent we had anticipated. But Nighties stand with
them upon very different ground from that which they
have heretofore occupied. Lord LONDONDERRY be-
trayed a sense of the danger of their new position,
both by the tone of his arguments against ' -
Boogamass'a motion for Retrenchment. znd by
the anxiety and art with which he declined to
call upon the HORN to meet Mr. Booroil ow-
this with a direct negative. The large mino-
rity on Lord ALTRORPR'S motion, the minority
of one hundred and eight, 'hewed that many of the
Country Gentlemen ►d forsaken the standard of Mi-
nisters. That division on Lord A vemonea's motion.
affords positive proof that Ministers have an, longer a
majority among the independent Members of the
House. Their majorities formerly consisted, in part.
of really independent men. who voted conscientiously,
and were merely blinded by the various false alarms
(and other artifices) to which Ministers resorted to
effect their purposes. But now, it is plain they have
lost by far the greater part of the iadepeadent men la
the lloase--41 is palpable, they have not a COON-
try Uentkman, who is mot also a plarendan, a pensionee.l
gain expectant. These last words will explain the
contradiction there seems to be between the late ma-
jorities of Ministers, and the opinion we entertain of
a ehttage baying been effected is the minds of the Coun-
try lhatleasoo. The persons of rank and fortune
who have drawn large revenues from the Government,
for a long series of years, perhaps during their
whole political life, cansot easily be persuaded to fore-
go the ativaatage. Ahoy of them still rest open the

The view taken by Lord Londonderry of the elate
of our commerce and manufactures is highly coheres!,
and by no means a faithful representation. It letter
that a great deal of business is transacted. sad that
the labouring el generally, is the manufacturing

'many comforts as daring the present winter ; bet we
bear, on every hand. and we believe from mummies-
able authority, that manufacturing and commercial
profits were scarcely ever so low as at the present der.
There is also much speculation to the pertly opened
markets of South America, and it remains to be gee
how these speculations may terminate before the resale
arising out of them can be pronounced proqems).

The 31iiiisters' plan for reducing the Five per Cron.
is obviously founded on the plan of Mr. Pelkaw. is
the year 1749, of which the following is a brief
sketch :—The woollier of 4 per Cent. Stuck them to to
reduced was 57.000,0001. It was propose'. that 41'
holders consenting to the reduction of interest shen;.l
continue to receive 4 per Cent. until the 25th Derea•
her, 1750, and 3/ per cent. until the 45th Dec. NSW.
1757, when the full reduction to 3 per crud. would
be completed. Those who assented to the plat teen'
required to subscribe their names previous to the 2:111
Feb., 1749, with an extension of the period for ear
14 foreign residence, and other circumstances. 'Flit'
plan was so successful that it only became necessary
to make a loan of about 2,0110,000/. to pay Wall these
who did net signify their consent to the reductioo of
