TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL S, IS''3.

COLLECTIVE CATECHISM.
The Collective meet the day after tomorrow. it is
thought, that the " gentlemen opposite" will be rather
divided, as to the course which they shall pursue with re-
gard to the Bourbon War. Mr. Brougham, after what
be said at the beginning of the Session, cannot very well
remain silent, and see the Bourbons actually at Madrid.
Yet, what is he to propose ? For the Stock jobbers are
for peace! lie has the Morning Chronicle against bitn,
if he breathe war; and, if the contrary, he isfor the Mi-
nisters! What is he to do, then ? Will he, when he
comes to see the Verona negociation papers, find fault
with Mr. CANNING ? Will he say, that a tone sufficient&
vigorous was not used? This is what the Chronicle is
paving the way for now. We doubt, however, whether
Mr. Brougham will venture on this mode of attack. In
the whole kingdom there is not a man to found, to
say that big talk could have done any good be,
big, vague
talk. To talk of rcui• might have been of use. But, will Mr
Brougham venture to say, that to talk of war wonhl have
been prudent, unless war, in case of neccssity, could have
been made. Then comes the question to he put to Mr.
Brougham: can tee go to war? Will he say, yes? Let him
then, show os how it is to be dome, without an issue of assig_
mats! Itupossible, and this the Stock-jobbing crew
know well. When they bawled against the Holy Allies
and so extolled the speech about the " three gentlemen
of Verona," they woe in a rage at their loss by Spanish
bonds. But, that is over. Those who dealt in the
Bonds are donef,r. The thing to he considered now, is
the home afiitir ; the power of sucking vp the relit and
the fruits of labour. War would destroy this sucker.—
It would make another " Bank Kesttiction ;" that would
he an open dud avowed bankruptcy. This, the Stock-
jobbing press, as well as the Stock jobbers in general,
know very well ; and, therefore, Mr. Brougham will find
them all for peace! This the Government knows very
well ; but not better than the French Government has
known it from the first. That Government was not
blind. It had paid attention to our distresses. It saw,
that, without reduced taxes, or without assignats, our
landlords must be ruined, and, in short, society broken
up. It saw, that to reduce tuxes and to make war at the
sane time could not be. It therefore despised the hints
of our negociaturs, and it would hate despised their
threats.
