le this, the nineteenth notary, mankind has naturally
lest its ides of ultra reverence for Royalty, particularly

antidote to divine right and passive obedience. The cry
of Europe against Borarawre, was on account of his
smithies and desire of aggrandisement. But did be ever

No, if he enslaved them, be usiferinly bettered the con-

The Austrian despot has trampled upon the rights of
the Italian people by force of arms, and quartered his
military automatons on their cities and villages ; coer-
cion and plunder attend the progress of his soldiers.
Again. what is the Czar, but a plundering despot, who
has openly declared that as be did not interfere with
Austria in the conquest of Italy, he should not allow
any intervention with his conduct towards Turkey ;
while Prussia dare not move but at his sod. France
certainly is the only power that appears determined
to do any thing towards rendering assistance to the
Greeks in opposition to the British influence and Bri-
tish Autholities. France is rising fast in political
cousequence, making daily progress in creating a
Navy, and as she has so many Aeon, whose only
trade is war, we should not, if Ministers act op to their
professions, be surprised to see a treaty of alliance with
the Greeks effected is a short time. The command-
ing situation of France in the Mediterranean, gives
it a commercial advantage. of which it will, no

preventing Russia from deriving advantages of
the first consequence to its future prospects. As
to England we tremble for her. There is nothing to
be hoped for from the men who have assisted to in-
volve us in our present difficulties ; taxed beyond
bearing ; *the Trading and Agricultural interests
in a state of bankruptcy ; the most profligate expen-
diture la any department of the state, without an at-
tempt to curtail it to any good purpose ; a tyrannical
system of espoieage encouraged; the people of the
sister country driven to distraction, and established
abuses endeavoured to be eorrected by the kind applica-
tion of the musket, the bayonet and the gallows ;
British Ministers disliked i■ every country, except
where they may pay for favours, and Borough traffic
and gagging bills considered the best remedy for the
miseries brought on by an unjust and unnecessary war.
Hopeful, indeed, are the prospects of Parliament next
February. What may be the opinion of landlords and
tenants, tradesmen and nsechancs, on a correct view
of matters, may be easily guessed at by those who
have so long forewarned them of their dreadful con-
dition.
