actual and impending, short
inetly for our calamities,
of a Reform of Parliament ; or of a Reform of Par.
liament, short of an extension of suffrage to hotme.
holders, and equal representation. This is the
smallest quantum of reform, which is compatible with
the extinction of corrupt influence ; and therefore,
the snit hest for which the nation ought to contend:
and, if the opposition are not ready to go this leer*
and at once, they shall have no vote of mine. I ds
not like the recent declarations either of Lord Grey,
or Lord Holland, upon this suhjrct. They are, kri
oho means, sufficiently explicit : they are, on the cos.
teary, guarded With a degree. of caution, which is hat
01 calculated to inspire vonfitlence, and quite unwortliv
of the high character of their authors. The ides of
.r 1 Orey in particula:-, with respect to time, which
even in a few months the fate of the country mar br
decided. I must, with whatever pain, most earnestly
deprecate. A great deal to. lunch time has bee%
already lost: and, in my own humble opinion, the de.
lay of a single clay, ought not to take place, after the
lousiness of the Queen is disposed of, in bringing to.
ward this all important question. But it seems, as
the affairs of her Majesty are drawing toward amine's,
sion, new tubs for the whale ale to be looked out for, to
prevent us from undertaking too close as examinstiee
of our real condition ; and a),plying the only remedy
for our distresses ; and the first of these tubs is to be
presented to nit by the Whigs. An attsek is to he
made on the Press, on Thursday next, and It is to be
commenced by that venerable Whig gentleman aid
Irish patriot, Sir John Newport. It seems that some
one has questioned the divine right of the two

It is of course a breach of this privilege to say that
Castlereagh and Co. do nut possess the confidence of
the people, since they possoss the eoafideuce of the
House of Commons, and the House of Commons ate
the virtual representatives of the people; however
unanimously the people then.seives mot express their
detestation of them and petition for their dismissal
from office. We shot! see how far the proceedings
announced by Sir John Newport may be calculated to
show that his party are the fittest persons to mead
them. Between these two parties, the pithlic eta
hive no reasonable ground of preference : and, is

faet; they do not care a straw which of them are is

missal of their actual misrulers, is their sense of the
gross insults and injuries, which they have meetly
heaped upon the nation, in the person of our Quell;
