Thu intentions of Ministers, in calling. a new Par-
liament,when they might have carried on the business
of a whole Session with the old, have been completely
dt-fsated. They mistaak the character of the people.
ney fancied that alarm created dejection in British
n:inds, and that dejection would produce subserviency.
They felt that the State was in danger, and,
for-
getting that the country knew to whorls the origin
of that danger WAS to be attributed, they expected
the blindest co:tfoience from those who, in reality,
bad greater cause than ever to • distrust their
niadom and to deprecate their guidance. '1 he
last Parliament, though short in its duration, and
chiefly composmi of their friends, had proved trouble-
some, because it contained a respectable portion of
alive and independent Dien. 'I hese, they were con-
vinces!, would now be greatly reduced, if not totally
excludA, and overwhelming tnajor:ties upon all ques-
tions wttuld crab'e them to carry all their plans for
the regsm ration of the State in compliment to the new
Helga. Their bed of thorns would be turned into a bed
of roses, and however the ct,untry might fret and menace,
they would possess ample means to silence her com-
plaints, by the extertn:nation of the complainants.
Sue.h were the Guttering dreams which attended them
through the late Ueneral Election. Its results did
siirittrtttedieeely dispel the Mission. The circum-
stances of the times had impressed a peculiar character
upon that Election. In most places it was disarmed
of the violence with whi.h the 'immediate shock of
parties is usually accompanied. Men, feeling that great
irritation existed among the people, were unwilling
to arid fu.l to the ill-suppressed flame, lest they
should firmly, the land in a general coneagration.
Their speeches were more guarded, their appeals to the
passions less frequatt, and, without any sacrifice of
principle, they displayed ardegree of temper and a spirit
of conciliation which tin: country knew rightly bow

to appreciate, bat which the Ministers construed into
slue pledges of their future support to the cane of
lierernment. Hake the confidence with which useless
a "ointments Ten filled up before, and expensive esta-
blishmaab proposed after the opening of the Session,
with a bold
.deelaration that inquiry was unnecessary,
and therefore should not be granted. But hence also the
sista 'abases* and alarm with which Ministers perceived
the Mitoses of at still greater portion of patriotism

meet. :Their Lit majority, which they intended
olsesd4 bisoissielve, proved he. isoderate. Their second

though the tabjeet in debate had risen in impoaanee.
