SITUATION OF ENGLAND,

The unparalleled distreESeS which have
visited the manufacturing districts of G..
Britain, involving in their vortex immense
masses of population, who can see no hope
Of relief from the wretchedness, despair,
and starvation which surround thcm-have
naturally excited in the minds Of the re-
flecting, the most fearful apprehensions for
the consequences, which, it would seem,
must inevitably result from such statesof
things. 1T is stated in the latest London
papers that the, government are at length
convinced, by the Representations which
have been made to them by gentlemen en-
gagged in the Northern manufactures, and
from their own observations, that public
subscriptions are quite inadequate for the
relief Of the distressed. In answer to
some application on the subject, from the
Committee at Lloyd's, Mr.. Feel, it is said,
advises them not to make any attempts at
raising new subscription, as the govern
ment had determined to adopt more ex-
tensive and efficacious measure.

A Liverpool paper, in allusion to these
distresses, holds the following strong LAM
guage:--" In our opinions the time has ar
rived for the country to meet the Difficult
ties in which she is Involved. We are at
peace, and may adjust our affairs: for the
present state of our finances resembles, in
| no slight degree, the state in which France
was when she stood on the verge Of the
Revolution, and when the yirtuous Turgot
told his infatuated King that the, first cam
non ball which was fred would involve his
Kingdom in Bankruptcy. We ought, then,
to seize this opportunity, and, by the a
| doption of wise and Vigorous measures,
place ourselves in position to repel insult
and to compete with other nations. The
expenditure of the country ought, with an
unsparing hand, to DO reduced. The pub

Isaac B. DEsHA.-The accounts from
Kentucky relative to the recent attempt OF
this man upon his own life, are extremely
contradictory, according to the party pre-
JUDGES Of the paper through which they are
received. Thus, the Frankfort Common
tator, opposed to the Deshas, says he is
getting well and the Argus of August Cd
a Desha paper, informs us that " this young
man, though yet alive, is literally dying By
inches. That he can yecouer of the wound
inflicted on himself, is physically impossi-
BILE. The windpipe is cut entirely asun-
der, and the ends have receded, SO that
they are more than an inch apart, and cam

wound heals at all, it must be with this

only he can ever breathe. If it be posi-
BILE that a man can live with his windpipe
cut in two, breathing only through the tear
full cash, then may I. B. Desia yet be an
old man. But if, as we suppose, nature
cannot long support the system after so
material arrangement other organization,
then must he soon sink into the grave. Our
information is, that he is gradually pining
away. and as we have already said, dying
by inches.-BGH. Pat.
