Tickling John Bull
The British Chancellor of the Exchequer consoles the in
dgent people Of England with the assurance that two
thirds of the additional taxation consequent the
will be levied the Weather classes and the time
comforts the rich by telling them that the addition the
incometax will still leave it less than that levied during
the with Napoleon The beer-drinkers who form the
of the people of England consoed
by being told that the tax malt which be increased
than onethrd and that sugar which expire
in July last is to be continued indefinitely will still
leave them less burdened than they were once upon time
The Chancellor of the Exchequer is also of opinion that
the good people Of England will not be the off for
drinking one-thrd less beer and and then RECALLING
on cup of tea without sugar most especially carry
war undertaken expressly to please them and the sole
object Of which is to vindoac the rights of and the
independence Of nations If John satisfied with all
this he must be cantankerous fellow What are 500
100000 to begin with for the glory of bombardns Odessa
and putting down the nsurrec,on of the rascaly Greek
Christians?

the rivers and the fishermen from the seas the people
Paris RECALLED with royal s and gorgeous reviews Of

The Nee Crusade
Fuller in his Historic of the Holy Ware speaking Of
the first crusaders, says quoting Of the contemporary
historians Yet must not here forget that such
at this time Jerusalem whether ridiculousy
blasphemousy both let others udge did carry goose
before them pretending 10 be the Hoie Ghost" His twen-
yeghth chapter Is devoted inquiry Whether it
probable that this Holy Ware will ever hereafter be set on
foot again. and his conclusion is We may safely say that
the egainng of Jerusalem and the Holy Land from the
Turks may be better placed among desires than our
hopes as improbable 10 pass except the PA

The Patonick year has certainly come to pass the wheel
has turned round and brought the spoke Of the Holy

That the protection Of the Christians Of the Ottoman
empire is the object Of the Ango-French alliance is
sufficiently evident not only from their late declarations
but from their having aided in suppressng Greek nsur
