that city to the 25lh, all inclusive.
Our papers are filed with accounts OF
the increasing spirit OF discord from vari.
GUS parts Of the kingdom. The govern
ment experimenting an approaching strug
gle, are preparing TO meet it with prompti-
iude and vigor. With this view they
have resolved to add 10000 men to the
standing army. Earl Fiizwilliam, who
had consented TO preside at the meeting Of
Reformers in York, was Immediately re-
moved from the office of Lord Lieutenant
of the West Riding Of York. These and
other measures OF Government increase
the tone Of the Radicals, as they are
termed; and there is reason to apprehend
that there is uotling, unless it be the
prompt exercise Of the strong arm OF pow
er, that can save that country from san
culinary civil war. To as it appears, that
the course pursued by the radical reform
ers, is calculated, not to accomplish the
object ostensibly 10 view, (the ameliora-
ton Of the condition Of the peopIe,) but
10 render the burdens of the people teufold
more oppressive than they now are. and
the government teulold more despotic, than
it has been for centuries past.
To show our readers, that the present
state OF England is indeed alarming, and
that the alarm is deeply felt in London,
we will here quote a paragraph from our
latest paper, the Sunday Monitor of the
oath of October. The writer, il will be
perceived, censures both the Ministers
and the Retormers, aud calls on the pub
lie TO defend the Constitution and the
throue.
Aiarming State of the Country
Never, at any former period, were we
called upon more strongly TO protest
against the MEASURES of government than
at the present. 1t is is indeed an affair OF
peculiar delicacy, but OF fearful import.
Its former character would incline us to
avoid it, but the latter leaves us without
a choice. The situation OF the country
is at this moment so dreadful, that no man
OF common sense can view it without a
horrid presentiment of the future: The
axe is laid 10 the tree. The foundations
of our faith are plucked up-the main
pillars of our morality are shaken. Inf
deity walks abroad in the open day, a.
hiaeoas a8d corrupted mass. The pe.;t;
cal Demagogue and the Blasphemer of
Religion have shaken hands together. In
them there is no trust, nor safety. To
what are they opposed ? Lifeless masses
of heavy Divinity--the foolishness Of SUI
perstition, OF the madness of enthusiasm.
Political profligacy-the laws derided-
the nobility degraded--the people impov-
erished and desperate-the Government
blind and stupid. Good Godl how shai'
we treat this subject so as TO awaken both
sides to their danger? We love our coun-
try and our countrymen--we glory inthe
Constitution and We are ready TO lay
down our lives for the protection of the
throne. But Of what avail is our 10y atty,
or our love, when the Constitution, in
which our only safety rested, is beleagur
I'd round, and the Ministers, who should
watch over its safety, and the people who
should rise up in its defence. are both,
with rapid strides, Fastening TO its de-
struction. To stop their mad advance
seems almost hopeless task. Yet we
will not despair. While one fragment oil
the great edifice, which our ancestors
constructed, remains, we shall be found
at our post We will take our stand by
its lettering base, and survive or perish
with it."
