/ sSC dSSStcu. NOW, tiliS we lament the more,
because it has been abundantly proved before
the Committees of Foreign Trade in both
Houses Of Parliament as well as FREQUENTLY i'm
the Court OF Exchcquer, that the lace and
silks OF Great Britain far excel those of any
| country whatever. We are not disposed TO
bring the trappings of life too rgidly in iudg-
ment, but we think there is kind Of heavy,
serious tring, not very suitable to the cha
racter OF the country, in too much of the royal
expenditure. Upon the whole, we would wish
for any means by which trade could be assist
ed and it cannot be denied that the King is
entitled by the law of the land to this public
Coronation. Perhaps it would have been
wiser To defer it,-but it is claim of right,
ana therefore could not be refused, when de-
manded, as We understand it was.
The following extract from the speech OF

Mr.. Stuart Wortley's motion respecting the
Laybach circular, will shew the reason that
the British Ministry have set their faces
against the Greek insurgents well as the

declared were directly opposed to those which
had been put forth in the declarations from

position OF the Allies, or likely TO disturb the
peace of Europe, and to deprive us of that

In the debate of the British lIoure of Com
i m, tlrs. hrt-.. ,n ,
Mr.. Ward. member WHO usually acts with
the ministry, drew the following picture of
the Austrian potentate and his government
| The two last wars in which Austria had
bcen engaged were but short; and at the peace,
i;y which England gained immense glory but
was content to forcgo selfish objects the
Emperor, who had gained no glory at all
was compensated by more solid advantages
| Never was laborcr of the eleventh hour so
richly repaid. He was placed not only on
an equal footing with those that had borne the
toll and heat of the day, but on a far superior
one. He might, indeed, justly say, that the
sacrifices he had made on the side of feeling
and charactery were such as entitled him TO
liberal equivalent on that of interest. He
had violated the most solemn public engage
ments; he had broken asunder the closest
domestic ties--he bad degraded his grandson
| lie had made his daughter widow, by con-
dcmnng his son-in-law TO perpetual exile and
imprisonment punishment due, perhaps, TO
the guilty ambition of that great disturher of
mankind-iust from Russia-just from Prtls-
sla-.lust from England, but from Austria.
altogether cruel, peridious and wicked. For
these deeds, his Imperial Majesty had retciv-
ed Damatia, the Tyrol, Saltzburgh, all Lon,-
hardy, and all the Venetian Statcs-gome of
the finest and richest proyinccs--sorne of the
noblest and most famous cities in all Europe
and from these hc had never ceased to- draw
money 10 the capital Of what is Ironically call
ed his patcrnal government, by every art and
every severity of fiscal cxaction. This case.
indeed, will br widely different if Austria could
say, "true ills, that these are rich and fertile
countries, but we have not taxed them to- Che
utmost-wc have purposely spared themLyye
are desrOtis 10 concalc the affections of ,he
people, and TO contrast the mildness Of our
Government with the severity of the French
dcspotism that preceded it." Dut, in fact. she
had sacrificed every thing TO pclf-money had
been the only object OF her government-un-
der her iron rule, no ease, no prosperity could
be enjoyed. When the fertile soil of those
fertile countries poured forth its immense
produce, the condition of the Inhabitants was
not improved by it. For then, too, came the
Austrian eXtnrtiOner TO stand betwixt them
and the bounty of nature and Providence, and
to demand for his master the whole difference
betwixt famine and plenty.
"No doubt Austria was valuable alIv TO
! England, but the advantages were not equal
on both sides. England could maintain her
independence, her power aud pre-eminence,
not only without, but in spite of Austra---but
Austrian ascendaucy entirely was the work
