ASTONISHING PERVERSENESS.

The Morning Chronicle repeats again to-day, that an
improved commerce trill "create a consumption which
t annot be controlltd, either by bank paper or by Peel's
Bill." This paper seems to have formed the deadly re•
solution t 3 prevent any effectual r lief being given to the
land. Nearly the whole of the press is, indeett, included
in the jew and jutbing combination ; bat this paper is
per'ec ly deadly in its resolution. It seems resolved, at
all risks, to do every thing in its power to blind the land-
lords and to delude them on to their desirncion; and,
if it cannot succeed in that, to stir np all possible hostili-
ty against them. Its sranda'ous partiality in the case
of Mr. Richards's letter, is a clear proof that it will leave
nothing untried, fair or fuel.

Pais papers have arrived to the 18th instals% but, ex-
cepting the eriden nt they give of the active continuance
of military preparations in France, they are barren of
public in'elligence. The Journal dee Debate, hooerer,
contains a private letter from Zante, dated January 6,
which states, that out of 32,000 Turks who entered the
Norco last August, only 8, or 9,000 now remain, and
