POLITICAL SPECULATIONS.

The possibility OF contest among the
great powers Of Europe, resulting from the
insurrecton 10 Greece. and involving a wide
he'd OF combat. is necessarily m tier OF ia.
teresiing speculation. The British ministry
seem TO SPEAK in parliament language of
entire confidence in the preservation of
peace, and The long delays in briosi ng mat
tiers 70 an issue favour the idea Still in
countries where ambition and various other
passions play their pats in monarchs who
nave nothing To cOn,roul them, but act at
their own will and pleasure, and where im-
mense military establishments are kept up,
very long duration of quiet is not TO be ex.
pected. After the wars of Louis XIV. there
was considerable interval Of peace but
when the temple OF Janus was opened, it
continued so with very Sigh. intermis.ions
to the year 1915, when Napoleon was exiled
20 St. Helena. Seven years of peace have
since passed in Europe: and the recoilec.
tons OF former disasters, and the ties that
connected certain powers together in close
amity, are obviously passing away The
bonds OF the holy alliance are broken. and
sympathetic distrust of any possible increase
OF the power of Russia unltes the other poyy
ers against her, and disposes them TO pro.
tect the integrity of Turkey, not from regard
to her, but from sense of self.preservation.
NO one of them siRgle handed would be able
to check the differentiation Of Russia but
combined together, ard sided by the money
OF England, there is l!tile doubt they are in
a situation 10 contTou! her, though she could
contTive to obtain The aid of The arms of
Prussia. the emperor Alexander maintains
tone OF hrmness, and avOws his intention
not to be dictated to on the subject of peace
or war {: but the opinions of Austria. France
and England can scarcely be passed over by
him with disregard, and in al! probability
will command continuance of peace

SiOOOOe The Committee, in proposing to
| reduce the expenses of the Legislature De-
partment, are Influenced by several consider
atoms They are decidedly Of opinion thae
nothing can save the nation from system
OF internal taxation, but retIenchment in the
public expenditures, a return TO good old
principles which, Tor some years past, have
been lest sight of. The pay of The Mem
bers of Congress, from the formation of The
government until a few years ago, war what
Is now. proposed by the Committee, and
money Is worth as much now is it has been
at any period within the last 90 or 50 years
IL may be objected, that a reduction of the
! pay OF the members will drive all those W no
are not wealthy cut of Congress. To thae
1t may be answered, that the former experi-
IDents OF the government in it. operation
before the compensation was raised, prove
! the contrary; for The best talents in A meri.
ca, since the formation of this govern
ment, have been proud and ambitious Of q
seat in Congress besides, money cannot bey
the object of any man in accepting seat in
Congress An indem nifty is all he can, or
ought TO expect. 1t has been alledged by some
that the pay of The members should be so
high as to make them entirely independent
OF the influence of Executive patronage.
If there be any thing in that argument, this
answer may be givea-that the Committee
are fearful that eight dollars day would
net answer the desired purpose Without
going further into The discussion Of this
question, the Committee are unanimously of
opinion that, in The great and good work of
re'renchmeut, Congress ought TO be the frss
to set an example to the balance of the ma
ton, and begin with themselves. They,
therefore, to etiectuate the objects pointed
out in this report, submit to the House the
accompanying bill.

that the bill will pass that branch.
