the distressed state of the country cannot be sufficient-
ly deplored. Even the array estimates produced an
mere discussion, than if the debate applied to the
erection cf a new pagoda to the pavillion. Thus a
formidable army, the most galling badge of the na-
tional prostration, and the most mischievous instru-
ment in the bands of a rash government, has again
received the sanction of a legislature, which pretends
is be the guardian of the people's rights. But the
can, the pride and security of this insular empire, is
suffered to sink into neglect, in order that a species

,f force, at once unconstitutional and anti-national,
oar be encouraged at its expence. The state of the
poor, as far as the labours of this session are concern-
ed, remains unexplored and unremedied. Not a word
has been said respecting our foreign relations; though
events ban recently occurred, which have ground to
powder the effects of our vaunted successes in the last

Such are partly the consequences of theprocestlings
aping her Majesty ; and the vital interests of the

rosatry have been neglected, and the liberties of the
O invaded in the person of the QUERN, with nu
WWII*" bat to extricate the most odious and inca-
pable Ministry ever known in the country, from the
eoponrosad disgrace with which it was threatened
at the commencement of the Session.

An English Parliament, over complaisant as it is
to the Crown, will take good care not to oppose the
whole country upon any question, particularly upon
foe, like the present, of a most mischievous tendency.
It will speak is rather sonnding terms of its contempt
for popular clamour; yet it will give way at last ; and
a man of sense will be the first to excuse a little bluster-
ing, when it is followed by a wise and seasonable con-

cession. The moment the conduct of ministers

a desperate character, they will inevitably be deserted
by Parliament ; and the latter would have taken this re-
solution before now, in spite of all its attachment for
this place—title—and pension—bestowing adminjstra-
don, if it had not hopes that the prosecution would be
abandoned without so harsh and decisive a determi-
nation. We therefore earnestly press upon the con-
sideration of the country the inanifest utility of em-
ploying the interval of the adjournment in giving a
coaatitational utterance, in the most unequivocal man-
ner possible, to their sentiments upon this most alarm.
ing coarse of proceedings. The people should meet is
part of the kingdom as early as they can. The
questiort regards every thing that is dear and valuable
to them ; and it Is hardly necessary to say, that they are
as mach, or rather mere, interested in the acquittal of
her Majesty, than this noble-minded and much-injured
lady is herself. A sense of right easily raises an Indi-
vidual above the effects of oppression. But as unjust
sestence imprints an indelible stigma upon a nation;
whllatit plants • sting, that will not suffer them for a
sammeut M forget their deratiattes.

As to the ides of trusting to an armed force in a ques-
ties between the Crowe and the people, it would be so
rash a one, that we have no small dithenlty to believe
that it has bee. entertained by the servants of the Crown,
arrogant and improvident as they are. In any time it
wosid be highly impolitic in a government to ea*/
the instrumentality of the sword to compel a nation to
acquiesce in a wrong measure. But, at this particular
time, it world be downright madness ; and we raise oar
warning voice from motives that are superior to fear,
because they embrace the good of all parties. The ex•
ample of recent convulsions puts our argument in so
forcible a point of view, that we should absolute!
weaken it, if we were to enforce it by the usual
of reasoning. The circumstances, to which we Auk.
convey so powerful • lesson, that large armies, we are
ful• peeseaded, will be as little in favour with kings, as
with even the most zealous of their subjects. Cowan,'
the few remarks which this branch of our an Jed ise
elicited from us, spew, in a manner so clear sod ess.
vincnig, the dangers of further agitating the portentous
which engrosses the public mind, that they
alone form an irresistible motive for abandoning them
immediately. Since the explosion in Naples; there is set
eves a conk parasite who does not perceive the dangers
which threaten self-willed rulers at this moment. In-
deed, it may be justly said, that there is not an arbitrary
government in Europe that may not be said to be sus-
pended over a barrel of gunpowder with the head thrust
in : whilst close to it a set of rash and extremely violent
men are dinging about combustibles.

It is rumoured it 11* *lag will proceed to Ports-
mouth in the course of the ensuing week, to embark

the Royal Sovereign and Prises Regent yachts, which
latter are fitted ant for a splendid retinue, who are to
attend his Mejesty. A squadron of ships have also
bees ordered to readesvons at Portsmouth, sad held
