if they did not do that, not to separate without coming
to a•specific RESOLUTION, never to reduce the in-
terest of Me Debt! The house knew better! The
Ministers knew better then attempt either. If they
had done the first, they knew that there would be
enotkeieolinty meeting in Kent, leaving our, not the
additional Ounce, but a sentence, or some words, in
• the body of the petition, which alleged, that the
mtney was expended in obtaining a corrupt injluenee

they would only have reminded 'people of their having

ling. were equal in value to a guinea in *coin and were
so demised by tire public; and, of their having, in

lion, so sighed for by Mr, J. arm would,
in fact, only have .tended to convince people, that the
game teas hp.' The Min' knew better than to at-
tempt either of these expedients ; and, therefore, they
prudently swallowed the charge about public money
etpended in corrupting Me House, tithing which even
the •Itadicals darer said to them is such plain len-
guage.—Being upon -this subject, we will notice a
little stupid vapouring-in a paper, calling itself the
`Trarclfer, and that others call the Tramper. 'tines

ment in the hands of the Westminster Ramp, should.

Lis talking about the robbery of friendly societies and
savings banks for the " sake of Dukes and Bishops,"
he must not expect to gull us in this way. The re-
formers of 1817 knew very well what they were-about-
They sere chiefly of the class of operative lewsanfac-;
turns. They petitioned to be protected against!'thel
Debt called National ;" and well they
_might; foe
they knew that the taxes took away one-half of their
wages, and that four-fifths of that half were occasioned
by the debt. But who proposes any such thing as a
robbery of benefit societies and saving banks ? Tbs
people of Kent, pray for a just reduction of the debt
and though Lord Jon° RIASELL cannot discover Shill
there eau be a just redaction of the debt, he will be
taught what it ie in the copra' of a year; apd In the
mean time we can tell the Tramper that it Would be
unjust to take from benefit societies and taring banks
that which they have deposited from deep•laid dele-
tion or from compulsion. No : no matt has ever
dreamt of
.such a thing. A just reduction means, as
Mr. Monet pointed out, a diserieriteatiag reduction.
In means thatalte Jews and Jobbers should not have

deeply interested in it; for he suffers bodily from this
iitolerable load of taxes, aid the lord does not. The
labourer Las been pinched for years and years; helms

ject slavery ; his days have been shortstops% by :those

last stage of misery is come. teen wo- hive the oa-
ten! Minh of this Hellish systee of paper-money
sod of National Debts. Hire we see what it comes
to at last. The misery and the buntings in Norfolk
and Suffolk flow from the same accursed source. In
the midst of peace with the rest of the world, n have
eternal war in our own bowels; and this war
'eau cease until this Debt be greatly reduced. Re-
form! This wretched Troniper pretends to be the
friend of Reform. Does he not know that it is this
Debt that has all along prevented Reform. Does be
sot recollect that the Debt was first established in or-
der to bind the base and selfish part of the people to
the Government, and thereby to snake it too strong,
for the rest? Has be forgotten, that, io 1817. when'
the Bill was passed to cram Reformers into dungeons,
the funds rose instantly ; and bas he forgotten that
the infamous bands of Jews and Jobbers issued a de-
claration against us, sod thanked the ministers for
having procured the passing of that Bill. In abort,
it is this accursed crew that stand between the nation
and its freedom and happiness.
In the Lords (on Friday) the Marquess of LANS•
nowt's made a motion -Web was to declare that the
House " thought the state of Ireland required the at-
" notion of Parliament, and the adoption of measures
to io;prove its conditiat and secure its trawluillity."
Lord Lir TRPOOL moved the previons question on this;
and finally Lord LANSDOWNes motion was rejected by
108 against 60. There was nothing new irt the de-
Late, and nothing very interestiog; except that Lord
LANSDOWNE, having spoken about tyikes, and deno-
minated them taxes, the LORD CHANCILLLOI observed
in answer, that the property of the church had as
good a title as that of the Noble Marquess. and that
another Noble Lord ought to remember t bot.had
no mote right to interfere With thri'prs 'retort",
Church than he, the LORDCHANCELLOR.iIa a right to in-
I infer' with his property. If this be sound doctrine, how
comest•tthatthe Parliament does so often interfere with
Church property; as,for instance.by cot:Tellies the rec-
tor to give so much a year to a curimend the like; not
to mention the total alienation ors part of the property
by Act of Parliament, under the name of lend-tax ?
To us, it appears most whimsical to consider toile.,
glebe% and church laud as any thing other as° public
property, to be disposed of as the Parliament shall
think best for the nation, whether in part payment of
the lot of the debt, or for soy other purpose.

.In the Centmons, Stu J•wes biscuit...rout bad the
very great misfortune to tteTrepared fur a line speech
oo the Alien Di:Aaiun the lively subject 'of theKeotish
Petition;` and, as would appear from Ole plaintive
commencement of the worthy lawyer's Spuds, It ap-
pears that he found himself pretty quickly stirrouaded,
in great part, at lust, by empty benches. Mr. Mutt
moved nu ajouroment of the debate, which the House
did not agree to. After which the Hill was read a se-
coed dow, the House continuing to be very this.
The Matt is, that this It a matter which does not
sash concern mei now, in time of Debt. We recoi-
