S'IA'ITSMAN.

We consider the pursuit (after " the engine for
wounding our trade is shivered to atoms")' as little
less chimerical than that of delivering the Holy
Lind from the fnfidels. Our zealots, in this latter
pursuit, are little inferior in chivalrose warmth
of brain to the 'LIMA mos and the Mutates of
those days. But what, in the name of wonder,.
has brought us to such a pass ? What deleterious
system must that he, which has so long been pursued,
! and which seems to have thrown us into this dilemma,
that if we stop we are said to be in danger, and if
we proceed it is highly probable we are undone
Where is to be the end of all this? Mr. CA MN [NO,
whose figurative language, after being stripped of the
artfully woven veil, is little better than mere cant:
for although he describes Bott.teaterz as foiled
and beaten out of all his designs, yet will not
venture to say the game is won, nor talk of the ter-
mination of our labour, and the attainment of re-
pose. Yet is it declared this is not a time to talk of
the terms of peace, nor even of the basis of negocia.
Lion? No, " we hate BONAPARTE to the marrow',
and must have (to use a vulgar and goaint phrase)
another touch at him ; another round with him, since
his antagonist has so many valorous bottle-holders."
Yet this consistent supporter of the Noble Lord, at
whom he, the other day levelled his pistol,telle to "we
must contemplate and expect frogs-the-eliserter of the
enemy, a renewed and veheoient strugfle."' Virtu)
can assure us we shall, after that, be forwarder in
our views, if we have oily precise ones? But as this
dealer in trope beat/WAY apostrophises, by saying,
the " spark in Spain once nearly extinct, has burst
into flame, and dazzled aild illuminated all Europe :"
so may this 'Gentleman's speech dazzle all England,
thnngh not illuminate it. But let us hear what a CR IM,I
sensible, and sincere lover of his country ; a Senator !
who, by fortune, &c. can have no distinct interest i
from its honour and prosperity, who has tie ambition t
to shine in the Cabinet ; but to place in stn.olosions
and clear light the condition of the couttry. Sir
G. HEATIICOTE deprecates the granting or large fo-
reign subsidies, while the annual tazea bear to
heaiy on the community, and our financtis not war-
'ranting such expenditure. That the Allied Powers
never so effectually opposed the French as when an- ,
supported by the pecuniary Rid of England—that the
system pursued, resembled to, much that of.a person
in private life, who tiled on ti,e principal iestead of
the interest of his fortune (what can more forcibly
show the extravagance and danger of our proceed-
iegs than that apposite simile!). He observed, that
England stands too pre-eminent to necessitate her to
alter her demands upon any fresh suro.ess.—

whic;; m) said rrect,wr► bereinbeforc-nanted ure hereby re-
qui red to take notice.

That her Minivters should at, once fix the terms on
which she would make peace, and adhere to. them
as a basis of negociation. Now, what Briton, who
is not bereft of his reason, or warped by a sotidldla-
terest of profit or place from the war, can retain
from wishing, however unavailing, that thalot-
tone of the country were in the hands of sbch
a man, or of men of congenial sentiments. Would
we had as many mouths as ARGUS had eyes, we
would from every one of them advise the 'PRINCE
REGENT (if he would be great from his kingdom's
prosperity) to call upon such men to counsel with
him in the present state of affairs.
Mr. Wurrearanivery ably defeaded the observa.
tion he made on the opening of the Session, with
respect to obtaining an honourable peace; and he
as successfully attacked the vanity of Mr. CAN.
NING, who had assumed much consequence to
himself for the share he pretended to have in so
favourable a turn of affairs. In opposition to this
talkative Gentleman's self-complacency, Mr. WHIT•
BREAD observed, and justly too, of the many occa.
sions lost for effecting an honourable Peace, while he,
Mr. CANNING, had a share in the councils of the
country. But, an observation worth all the rhe-
toric of the Member for Liverpool, was made by
Mr. WHITBREAD on the occasion, whose' senti.
ments, like his actions, are all of a great and mascu.
line character, that " he hoped Mr. CANNING would
recollect, that his Majesty's Minis.ers would recol-
lect, and that even the Allies would recollect, that
it was, the mad ambition of BONAPA fat, Sibidcar:
vying bum beyond all bounds of prudence or juatice,
had produced that reverse if•jortune which so many
were desirous pf taking creditfOr ;" and added, with
ettooljoadosisa, *mother rem**. tlgit 44

the conduct of this country *ilia had .enalited him
to proceed so far as he bad done in his unprincipled
career."

Yeterday, at half-past 11 o'clock, her Pota.rEsirr,
acoompanied by the Princesses 'ELIZABETH and
MARY, arrived at the QUEEN'S Palace from Windsor.
•At half-past three o'clock he,r. Ilda,tarrY held a
private Court, when the Duke* of BRUNSWICK was
introduced to her by herlrtm:Cuamer.at.tos. His
Highness took leave of the QUEEN previous to • his
departure from England.
Soon after six o'clock the QUEEN and PeoxcussEs
went to Carlton-house to dine with the PRINCE RE-
GENT.

The house in Connaught-place, fitting-up for the
Princess of WALL', will soou be ready for the recep-
tion of her Royal Highness.
The bust of the Marquis of WELLINGTON, ordered
a few days since by the Corporation of the City of
London, for their Council Chamber, is to be from
one in the possession of the Marquis WELLESLEY,
which represents the noble warrior decorated in all
his honours of the Garter, the Golden Fleece, and
the Tower and Sword.

The county of Meath, the native county of Lord
WELLuverox, has resolved to show its sense of the
eminent and glorious services rendered to the coun-
try by his Lordship, and, at the same time, to per-
petuate the honour of the county, iu giving birth to
the illustrious hero, by erecting in the hall of the
new Court-house, at Trim, the shire town, a statue
of him in bronze, to be executed by a most eminent
ratist.

The Gottenburgh and Heligoland Mails-•are still
due. Our Yarmouth letter, however, mentions the'
Ariel sloop of war, having arrived there from
Gottenburgh, oish the Members of the Depu.
teflon who went to present the Order of the
-Garter to the Emperor of RusstA.,---ft is
therefore, highly, probable, that Ministers have
received some information by these Gentler ten, rem
lacing to the operations of the Allied Powers since
the 19th ; and we are in hopes to learn the particu-
lars befote oar Paper goes to Press. It is re-
ported that the head-quarters of the. Allies were

which the shells and gravel brought in bf the force of
