wow fiat great shock which otherwise apposes
wawa A man little thinks how much he pro-
*. existence of tyranny all over Europe by
voiell ally disposed of : for whe-
lher ?gee or bribe now, or under the
hope 04 Paiale return hereafter for his suf-
frage, he is still committing bribery ; the transac-
tila is sinful and corrupt, and such a person is one
aldose whose!l their country.. It may, with truth,
be aid, that the unpolled citizens of Londen at
this moment have it in their power to obtain re-
e,A.ss for their grievances—to prevent their
re-
frwstrance; to the Throne from being again re-
,setett with disdain—to prevent their sacred
riztits from tieing flagrantly violated by their Re-
-iresentatives in the House of Commons. and, in
,hurt, to l rornt a very great calamity from be-
bole the whole. empire. No one doubts of

IVArnimAN possessing strong sense : can he
brim, any design against the country for a mere
tesoaal ‘aii;. who tins a great family of chit-
,iro to live in it, and, as he no doubt hopes, to
prosper in St? We don't know that he wishes,
qua his own account, to cuter the contaminated
Howe if he consulted his own ease he

would not wish it. Indeed, wi'th a proper sense

of his oyrn indc.pendeoc,:, and spirit, be said, eu tie
ct tap at Guildhall, that he would not walk across
foca Seat in Parliement. We admired and
~ted him for riving so ; but we would walk
serest, tray farther, to put him and a few others of
lin composition among the heterogenous mass of
ten id I. Stephen's Chapel. The hour has now
:Kr.aiebcd when a few honest men may do won-
der!. if tbev have actunny promised votes to his ad-
itisnr:es. they may honourably withhold them upon
the rtnind of their tIM duty being to serve their

eniutry: A nutrywho is indifferent whether he
enters farliatuent or wt, is the one we should eon-
flrsia to go into it ; this is not the case with his
opponent, who knows well the value of an obse-
oisisnmeee to Minitters, having tested of its fruit in

Of the affairs of Spain, as w•e have before more
than once oiserv(ll, we must be contented with
very scanty and irregular information until the
eqablishaitot of the coRTEz. This may be ex-
pected at no.grwit distance of time, since the last
receited l'reNi Papers speak of Corunna having
ra;led for the ConAittition and tlie Cortez. By all
.we can learn through private letters from Madrid,
ristootaNn, like other imbecile and yet head-
or , Rings, is alarmed at his past conduct ; and
the only instance of his possessing one quality of a
General is evinced in his inquiries about a safe re-

trei: from the field when he may be beaten out

What perversity in human alTairs ! It would seem
a silly clnt•st;nn to ask if mankind were always
what it is now, and by what chain of circumstances

itlias curer to pass, that a few drivellers, with
Crowns on their heads, should have lorded it over

millions of men for a thousand and more years!
The Royalist Papers of Paris call the division of
RIECO the " thing column," not being willing to
issign it too much importance. it is certainly not
inaptly designated in another sense than the one
they ratan to fix on it, for it appears indeed to
ny hy the army of O'Domsec, which, though so
• superior in numbers, is representod -aa too much
fati.e med to follow the rebels.

The last Paris journalscannot but be thought in-
tsrsting, to eery man who knows the value of
a.freedom. The great topic of debate in their
lArAlsture N the individual liberty of the subject,
which. in the view of the French Ministers, and the
