will be for farmers to relinquish thos2 
extended tracts of land which their 
avarice led them to engross, and for 
landlords to rebuild those farm-houses 
which their insensibility to the dis- 
tresses of industry led them in wan- 
touness to destroy. These things done, 
the blessing of heaven will return to 
the country—prosperity will be equal- 
ized—and industry will enjoy the pro- 
duce of its virtue and labour. We 
agree, at the same time, with the Duke 
of Sussex and other illustrious autho- 
rities, that if the people had been fairly 
represented in Parliament, or if Par- 
liament had not been filled with 
members for rotten boroughs, the 
crimes of the last thirty years would 
not have beeu committed; and there- 
fore we hope that all the interests of 
the country will unite in bringing 
about such an improvement in the re- 
presentation as shall be compatible 
with the security of the Constitution, 
and the strength and durability of the 
Emyire.—The meetings alluded to are 
described in our Provincial Intelli- 
gence, and we hope, in our ensuing 
Numbers, to have occasion to notice 
more of them. 
But while these distresses accumu- 
late on the landed interest, owing to 
the emancipation of South America, 
and other causes, the Manufacturers 
are generally fully employed; and 
owing to quickened collections of the 
revenue, the coronation, &c. the amount 
has improved half a million.

Political Affairs in January. 
[Feb. 1, 
The revenue of the year ending the 5th 
Jan. 1822, therefore, is nearly 51,000,000). 
and exceeds that of last year by nearly 
600,0001. On reference to Mr. Vansittart’s 
budget of June last, it will be seen that he 
stated the total charge for the year to be 
52,000,0601. The income to meet this 
charge is as follows : 
Total revenue for England 51,000,000 
Supposed revenue for Ireland —_ 3,500,000 
54,500,000 
The surplus, therefore, of 2,500,0001. is 
the whole of the Sinking Fund, available 
on the 5th of January, 1822. 
At the great dinner, in Norfolk, to 
celebrate Mr. Fox’s birth-day, the 
Duke of Sussex, on his health being 
drank, made the following observa- 
tions: 
“In former times, he said, when Eng- 
Jand interfered in Continental politics, it 
was to save the people of one state from 
the oppression of another ;—such was the 
interference of Queen Elizabeth ; but now 
there was a community of effort to crush, 
not to save, the oppressed. The system of 
Spies and informers of late years so orga- 
nized, were not the growth of an English 
soil. No; they were the emanation of the 
Holy Alliance, and one of the evils it in- 
flicted, or, as some would perhaps say, 
the glories that attested the salvation of 
the country. Of a piece with these do- 
mestic proceedings was one circumstance 
connected with that Leautiful Bridge-street 
concern, which he was surprised had hi- 
therto escaped public notice. He would 
not be foul-mouthed even respecting the 
contemptible agents of that society; but 
it was worth notice, that their secretary 
was the treasurer of the society for the 
relief of foreigners in distress—a situation 
which necessarily gavehim access, as often 
as he pleased, to the whole foreign diplo- 
matic corps resident in this country, and 
afforded the most convenient opportunities 
for any practices in which he might be en- 
gaged. This was another branch of the 
Holy Alliance: from such might the Lord 
defend him! Next to the system of espion- 
age, came the system of terrorism. The 
base operators of that system knew that 
though there were some who scoried their 
arts, there were others wlfo would be de- 
terred by their base threats—he was one 
of those who would always scorn and defy 
them. This most infamous and wicked 
system was carried on under the unworthy 
artifice of assuming a name associated 
with every thing that was the reverse of 
such baseness. John Bull was incapable 
of tolerating the atrocities which wretches 
were found to commit under the cloak of 
his honest name. Mr. Denman had said 
truly the other day ina court of justice, 
that
