.wss this composition from the Speech of the Ameri-
4en-President, which had lately appeared iii the Pub.
iritt Jciornals. In that Speech, from the Chief Ruler
:of tiots which •our Ministers threatened and
po to destroy in, the late war, there was a dig.
itsl of evidence to prove its growing and ge.
"level improvement. In the Speech before the house
there was no doubt a confident assertion of tiatiousl
..•
prosperity, but there was no specific instance of that
prospoitty evets alluded to. The reason, however,
was obvious' for no specific instance could be cited.
'That indeed wee impossible amidst the minty that
uelversally prevailed, while the
.Revenue was stow.
rinusly deficient, while the workhouse* were crowd-
:4 with paupers, SOHO.* streets were thronged
MO starving seamen, -and the Pours' Rate advanced
beyond any former precedent. if indeed any evi.
;device were adduced to establish the fact, that the
country was in that state of prosperity which this
Speech alleged, Ministers might have something
to offer in their defence, or rather in proof
of the energy ...a industry' of that People whom
their misconduct and ettraasgance had been unable
tohresk down. But what bad those Ministers
presented in elopement for their delinquency ?
Why, truly, wmeontrnendation to build Churches:—
This, however, was not a new espedient, for it was
the practice of siuneis in all ages to build Chinches.
If, indeed, Ministers bad proposed to enlarge the
jails or the alam.honies, where at least the inmates
were saved from starving, or to do any thing for the
solid benefit of the Public, they might have some
claim to praise. . But their allegation of prosperity,
and their proposition of improvement, really mocked
the public updertrandiug. It was obviously impos-
sible that any• country could go on in the state in
which England was at present, with a falling Re.
venueand a .starving People—with a greater degree
of misery among the population, then was to be
found ender any arbitrary Government which the
British Ministers might desire to imitate. For in no
nation in Europe, not even in Spain, Italy, or Portu-
gal, could such metulicity and wretchedness be found
as were at present daily *homed in the public streeti
of this great metropolis.. For the reasons lie had
IMenlitloed, he could not hesitate to prononoce this
Address a direct insult to the feelings and to the nu-
derstanding of the country.
The motion Was unanimously , agreed to, and a
Committee wa3 appointed to draw up the Address.
Lord CAST LEREAGII.gave notice of a motion
for to.roorrow_ for Ad4jeases of Condolence to her
Majesty and to Prince Leopold ; also of motions
with regard to the arrangement of Orders, and the

• LONDON:
asoxtenAt, JAIL tTART 28, 1818.

The proceedings in both Houses of Parliament yes-
terday, had more of interest in them than generally
characterises the first day of the Session. 'the Speech
'of,the Commissioners is exactly what we inticipsted—
"Dell, fiat, and unprofitable," sad coached in
words of such wide and general signification, as to
rendee it almost impossible to 'sprees an, opinion .
upon its meaning. The mention of the death of the
Princess CHAllLorra, and the lore thrown 'out for
lathes expression of condolencerrom the Houses, (a
hint on which the Movers and Secooders of
the Addresses amply improved,) is concluded by
an obscure notification of the plan we have be-
O'ure noticed for lakieg care of the succession.
It is said, that amidst his own sufferings, his
Royal Highness the Pelisse REGENT 66 has not been
unmindful, of the effect which this sad event must have
on the interests and future prospects of the kingdom."
_We hope this kind attentions to the interests and pro-
spects of the kingdom, wilt be continued. But we
still have some doubts whether these interests are
much consulted in the igseal remedy of Royal mar.
sieges. But this is not the ingst brilliant part of the
" national exposition." All.is.firm friendship abroad,
and peace and prosperiti at home. The Foreign
.Kings are much pleased with his Royal Highness's
Government. The Treaties.. which Lord CArrLe-
uLAGH is still in the habit of signing are mach to the
mind of the Foreign Powers, particularly it • would
afterwards appear by the mention of the Slave Trade
Treaty with Spain, which our Readers are aware has
been accompanied by a round sum of money, a piece
of as base political simony and hypocrisy es we have
baud mentioned fu ell the 'soirees of the Apostle'
of Legitimacy fur a long time. And the stability of
our resources at home are such 84 to enable Ministers
to carry on as confidently as ever their well-chosen
system rif policy. AU these assurances of internal
tranquillity, foreign friendship, the increase of trade,
and improvement of our national means, would lead us
to look for a reduction of oar Military establishmeots,
and a. general abatement of our State eppences. It f
is even intimated that 66 his Royal Highness feels the
fullest persuasion that the tranquillity of the country
will be preserved by the good sense of the People,
and (what is never wanting, in the set, or forgot in
the general order) the activity of the Magistracy."
We are not; therefore, to depend of the indis-
pensible aid of a Standing Army, or the vigilance of
hired Spies and Informers, for the preservation of
this public blessing ; yet, in the most oppressive de-
partments of public espenee, and that military power
which Is declared to be unnecessary, no farther re-
daction seems to be meditated, and even the usual
professions of regard to economy and frugality are
entirely excluded from this opening document. Bat
whet will most strike the attention of the Reader is
the *ova recommendation of the Prince to.the Par-
liament and the People to set immediately. about
erecting an additional number of Churches, not
because it is proved that the Established. Cbarches
are over filled, but because there is a na-
tion entertained somewhere, that the number of
places of worship belonging to. the Established
rChurch is deficient, compared with the population of
the country, who (It should have been explained)
choose to resort to other places. This is a curious sign
of grace,and we should be as loud in hailing it as ear
devout Ministerial brethren, if we did not suspect
that the number of churches and well•endowed edi-
fice. in the Establishment, is perfectly adequate to
the population who are disposed to resort to theta,
and admire the persons who officiate in them; and
at confidently believe, that the-Public would be made
to pay its a way very much calcolited to cool their de-
'odors, for the. purchase, erection, or endowment of
any further buildings, which might be added to our
number of churches, in Compliante with such a re-
commersdatioo. As Lord CotalaANit said, Ministers

The swomit prosecutions in England and Scotland are

prosperity of the country are entirely owing to their

Segleod and the Loan ADTOCATI of Scotland es-
hibit as contemptible a figure in • this luminous state-
meat of facts, as those under whose more criminal
orders they acted. Neither Ministers oar the Ai-
7-01111ST-GENEIAL have dated to remove the veil
from the horrid proceedings which seek place pre-
vious to the taking op of arms by the deluded-
men who *mired in hostility to the public peace—,

Lord Advocate of Scotland, who ran to the House of
Commons with a letter in his hand, apparently before,
be had road it, to accuse his loyal countrymen of tree-,
son and insurrection and of taking unlawful oaths,
•was not able to procure a single conviction out of
hotuiseds of accused persons, after three attempts so'

CALTLERE4GH has, however, undertaken to demon-
strate to the satisfaction of the House that his Green
Bag stateatents were true; bat it is by another old.
Bag Committee of his own appoint*. lie will,
however, be assisted in his proofs by mtposeres from
another source. Lord ARCIIIBALD HAMILTON
has given notice of a Motion for Enquiry into
the Proceedings in Scotland, which Inst summer
excited so much attention throughout the ;Ern.,
Aire. Otter parts of the conduct o —Weld
were also noticed incidentally in the of Coes.
ins way which leads to an esPecta that they
become the subject of serious discussion. In the
mean time Ministers areto hurry throvgh the Repeal
of the Suspension Act, with even greater preoipitandry
than they pressed for that measure. A Repeal ,
the Act for Impending the right of HabealCorpuel
will gloved fur by lira Smintarts, is the Hoop
of Lords, and probably passed this day, the Standing
Orders of the Hoes. being all suspended, that the
Repeal avay pass with rapidity through its different
stages: This measure was expected by the country,
bat it is not the only measure which the People ea-
pect. The country demands that the
violators
of its
rights shall not only part with their ill-gotten power,
but that they shall be made responsible to law,
brought to condign punishment for the injuries they
have iuflicted on contending humanity. They are in
haste,not io atone for their unconstitutional violations,
but to obtain a Bill of Indemnity to screen themselves
from the consequences that ought to attend their illegal
proceedings. Shall they be thus allowed to fence
themselves in acts of injustice before an insulted na-
tion ?—Forbid it, voice of the People, and ye pre.
tectors of innocence and the laws in their chiefest
sanctuary ! fur the voice of GOD is against such op.
pressions.
