ras Courier of last night not only tinalle I,
what it is pleased to all the present proud mo-
ment for contemplating England's condition, bet it
proceeds to denominate those who have made
" the distrefees of the people the theme of popular .
declamation " as scoundrels," who are now viewed
in tbeir proper light." One would imagine this
abusive journal had fallen into new hands of late,
since those persons who dictated its sentiments,
some time ago, must be conscious that they are
liable to very just and very severe retorts, upon
both their early and later conduct as politicians.
To the word scoundrel, they melt well know that
their adversaries might truly apply the adjuncts,.
" turn about," and which might lead to endless'
blushing details. But probably these modern
Cato., these welling censors, having lost sight
of what they once were, are misled into the belief
that nobody living remembers bow changed they
are now. We advise them, however, to confine
themselves to their sophisms and unfair reason-
ing, but to leave foul names alone, or we have
reason to believe they will get the worst of
that warfare. We know of those who only wait
for a letter of marque and reprisal, to retort
upon the insolent assailants. But personality
apart—the British public cannot be ignorant,
at this time of day, that such journals as The
Courier are corrupted by avarice, to defend the
measures of the worst set of Ministers that ever
presided over the affairs of this unhappy country.
Instead of inculcating an aversion to absoldte
power and military despotism, and exciting a just
' end wholesome horror against tyrann.y, She. pro.
agate writers in them aid the enemies of the
country in subverting its Constitution, the esta-
blishing of which cost our ancestors riven of blood.
Every day are their prostituted columns filled with
encomiums on deeds, *w which the voice of all
ages should brand with infamy the names of their
authors. They are perpetually declaiming against
every popular act or design, and extolling what-
ever the Ministers, their masters, do or devise.
They represent the democratic (and as such we
insist upon it, the strongest and most valuable
part of the community or State), as being ever
ready to yield to the seditious speeches of orators,
earnest in deceiving them for private views; idd-
ing that, if they would turn their backs on such
leaders, and quietly submit to their betters and-the
laws, they might be happy under the wings of a
parental and good Government. Ah, the knaves
know well the tendency of this kind of language
and advice—but they are sold as it were—they
are committed to the issue of the conflict, and
their preservation depends upon the escape from
justice of the great spoilers. If a country or dis-
trict, unable to bear the weight of taxation, at-
tempts to throw off the grievous load, these model-
, tiles brand them with the name of rebels, aid are
the first to declare that they ought to be deprived
of every vestige of freedom, and pat into fetters.—
Every friend of liberty they stigmatise as porter-
baton of the public peace. The great and goad Earl
IhTZWILLIAM does not escape their elanderoue
pens or venemous tongues, though his ooadeseend-
chg iatselestasmo whites has pointed hins out le
these infamous calutaaiatots, arose from the noblest
principles in the human breast, viz, compassionand
commiseration for his sufkring felkow- creatures ;
and patriotism Ow his sanded and menaced omen- .
.try. Thus the hirelings (for their example prompts
us to tall names) wrest the
.views otload :sind
worthy patriots, blast their fair iopstaSisa„ and
brand their memory, instead of reepsethig their.

lowed to return to France, and kiss hands at Court,
are certainlr object* on which an English Quid.-
wwwe aiirlit.tnalte out, a long story, for bit coubtry's
reflection.-
Letters from Paris state, that the Baal of Frames,
in consequence of the very limited appheations for
discounts made in the depressed situation of cow
metre, has accumulated a disposeable capital of 170
millions of francs, nearly seven millions sterns;,
which, at this moment, is in a great degree napes.
ducti ye. This has led to a reduction of the interest
on shares held in that institution, to B per Cost pet
annum, the lowest rate permitted by the conditions
on which their charter is held. As the shares in the
Bank of France are now quoted at 143 Q, originally
issued at 1000 francs, the real interest paid is Ltd.
more than 4 per cent. and that at a period when
the Government securities of the country are real-
ising 7 per cent. per annum. The Directors of the
Bank of France are now meditating a tamers
which will probably approximate their own feeds
and those of the country to the same -level—to Ob-
tain the sanction of their proprietors to the invest-
ment of • the portion of their capital, for which no
commercial demand arises, in the purchase of
rentre. The attempt was made laskyear, and was
then rendered abortive by a majority of one person
