AxecdotB'OF Bubns , —From the Carlisle Journal , —It is not probably generally rfcnown that the poet once paid oar ' merry city" a visit , though there is no doubt that he did once at least , get" unoo happy " within our ancient walls . He had -come into the city upon horseback , and hi 3 nag was . turned o . nt to grass for a few hoiir 3 . The horse , ' as may well be supposed , having such a master , le&s a brnte of taste , and wok it into his head that the grasa , in a field belonging to our worthy corporation , which adjoined that in which it had been pot , was of a better and sweeter . flavour than its own sllotaent , and accordingly made good his lodgment there . The mayor impounded the horse , and sext morning , "when Burns heard of the disaster , he wrote the following stanca : — " Was e'er pair poet sae befitted , The maister drunk—the horse committed—Pair harmless beast ! tak' thee n&e care ,
Thou'k be a horse when he ' s nae Mayor . " His worship ^ Mkyorality , we should have premised , ¦ was about toexpire on the day on which the stanza "Was written ; it is said , that when the Mayor heard "whose horse he had impounded , he gave instant orders for its liberation , exclaiming , - " let him have it , or the job will be heard of for ages to come . " CcRRjjf ahd the Miller ' s Dog . —Curran had told me , with infinite humour , of an . adventure between him and a mastiff when he was a boy . He had heard somebody say , that -any person throwing the skirts of his coat over his head , scooping low , holding out his arms , and creepiag along backwards , might frighten the fiercest dog and put hun
to i ' ght . He accordingly made the asttempt on a militr ' s animal in the neighbourhood , -widen would never let the bojsrob the orchard ; but found , to bis sorrow , that be had to deal with a dog which did not care which end of the boy went . foremost , go as he could ge' a good bite out of it . " I pursued the instructions , " said Curran , " and a * { had no eyes save those ia front , fancied the mastiff was in fall retreat , but I was confoundedly mistaken ; for , at the very moaieat I fancied myself victorious , the enemy attacked my rear ; and , having " got a reasonably good mouthful out of it , was fully prepared to take another before 1 was rescued . —Sir Jonah Harrington ' s PersonaliSxtches of his men Times .

" Lodfc here upon this pi Wiadflor , Jan . 12 , 18 * 1 . " In consequence of the continued severity of the weather , ind the consequent diminution in agricultural and other employmenta , tne poor in the districit gxn&ttiiding Windsor are suffering severelj from the combined effects of a dearth of food and fuel . Half-starved leoking cieatures—the women
generally with cbildien inthtir anna , may be met with wandering about in search of temporary relief , preferring the chance charity of the public , to the inhospitable shelter of a workhouse . Some days since a poor ¦ woman , with an infant in her arms , both is a state of extreme destitution , called at a publichouse in Kgham , for the purpose of soliciting alms . Her ststement to the
landlady , Mrs . Clarke , was , that for several days she had scarcely enough of food to support life ; that , for the four days previous , she had been an inmate of the Windsor union , and that she was at that time suffering from absolute hunger ; the wretched creature ' s appearance , being that of a person in the last staje ol consumption , fully bore out her statement After receiving relief and the price of a bed for the night , she the next day crawled on to Stainea ; here her strength

Northampton , Jan . 17 . A traveller and his wife , in pregnancy , and in great distress , applied for relief to a relieving officer of a parish near Northampton , on Saturday night last , and after urging their suit fox a considerable time without effect , the relentless functionary closed his door against the unhappy couple , leaving them unprotected , houseless , and pennyless , to the mercy of the pelting snow Btorm . After remaining some time , the poor ¦ w oman was seized with the paina of labour . —

etwe and on this . ' " Windsor , Jan . 14 , 1841 . A new dog-kennel has either jast beaa or is immediately about to be commenced close to Virginia water , for tie sporting dog » of Prince Albert , consisting of pointers and setters . His Boyal Highness has secured an excellent breed , aod mack sport ia anticipated by tie Prince and his friends as « oon as
the weath « r becomes more favourable for the enjoyment of the sports « f the field-Twenty of the Queen ' s saddle-horst-s arrived at Windsor on the day before her Majesty , and it was expected , as the completion of the new ridinghouse was hastened in consequence of the departure of the Court from Buckingham Palace for
Windsor , that her Majesty would hare occasionally taken equestrian exercise "within the new building . The interior of the new riding-bouse is completely finished , with the exception of a small portion of the walls , which require plastering , and which have been delayed in consequence of the setting in of the frost . Extensive stabling will shortly be erected in the immediate vicinity of the course at Ascot-heath , for the express accommodation
of the horses of her Majesty , when the Court proceeds from Windsor to the course . Further alterations and improvements are progressing at the stables at Cumberland-lodge , to accommodate the hunters and other horses of Prince Albert . The interior , which has been thus far completed , is most coutenienVy fitted up . Convenient st' Mii have aleo been ni&de for the sick horset , and other arrangements of a somewhat expensive nature .
Windsor , Jan . 24 . Upon the return of the Court , afterthe christening of the Princess Royal on the 10 th of next month , and which will be within two or three days afterwards , some magnificent entertainments will be given by her Majesty . It is rumoured at the Castle that amongst the honours which will be die-: pensed by her Majesty immediately upon the christening of the Princess , j Viscount Melbourne will be created a marquis , and that an English earldom
• will be conferred upon Lord Palmeraton . It will be remembered that about five or six months ago it was stated that her Majesty was then about to present to Lord Melbourne a splendid piece of plate of the value of 1 , 000 guineas , in testimony of the high respect and esteem in which the noble Premier was held by the Sovereign . It is rumoared —although so long 3 time has elapsed since the report was first circulatedthat the presentation of the plate will not be deferred beyond February .
Backingham Palace , Jan . 25 . Mr .

Progress of Repeal i > Ibelasd . —As to the Repeal progress , perhaps this may be best gatherec from the following statement , published by th < Repeal Association on Saturday week , of th < funds received since its formation on the 15 th oi April . We fcave added to it the population of ths several provinces according to the census of 1831 The receipts stand thus : — Population From Leinster and its counties , including Dublin - - £ 1 , 949 « 10 1 , 927 , 967 Munster , 256 14 e - 2 , 215 , 36 J Connaugbt , 104 15 0 - 1 , 3 * 8 , 977 Ulster , 2 2 0- 2 , 293 , 12 * England and Wales - - 355 14 0 Scotland , 16 14 0 America , 3 0 0
Total , - - 2 , 688 5 10 Of this sum , the account of expenditure sets down £ 1 , 078 9 s . 2 d . for registry expenses . It should hare been stated whether this was for the purpose of registering repeal roters , or merely place-expecting "Whigs . Here is cert * inly not much appearance of national enthusiasm for repeal . £ 649 , tne accounts tell us , were collected in Dublin by subscriptions of members at £ 1 each and upwards . So that the Repeal Fund is not nearly equal to what the poor Chartists collected for their Convention , besides supporting their delegates in London . We fear the Irish people stand as much in need as ourselves of that definition of repeal which is necessary for a fair discussion , of its merits . —Stoletman .

FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT . Tuesday Evening , Jan , 26 th . The Queen opened tho Session of Parliament this afternoon in person . The line of road through which her Majerty passed , on her way to the House of Lords ; was much more crowded by spectators than on any former occasion of a similar nature ; but the plaudits of the people were not nearly so general , nor so enthusiastic as on many previous occasions ; uor was her Majesty ' s reception any thing like so hearty as most persons anticipated . The Queen ' s husband sat in tho " royal coach" with her ; and as soon as the cortege had passed the horse guards , a divertisement took place , which was deemed equally as good a sight as that which had drawn so many hundreds of spectators together . Two boya here
amused her Majesty ' s lieges by standing upon their heads , and in that situation singing tke popular air of " Nix my dolly pals , fake away 1 " accompanying themselves by a species of chorus , produced by striking the soles of their feet together , as flatly and with as much noise as could possibly be produced by the palms of their hands . In this situation they continued for fully a quarter of an hour , going though really astonishing evolutions with their ftet upwards , and were rewarded with a plentiful harvest of tin . " The procession ieturned to the palace amid a still more apathetic display of popular estimation ; in a word , it is evident , that royalty , although impersonated by a young and interesting woman , is at a discount , excepting among those who fatten on the extraragance of royal aud arist-ocratical
institutions . In the interior of the Upper Trap , great preparations had been made to make the affair look big and imposing . During the recess the throne , footstool , and canopy have been regilt and decorated ; the steps covered with a magnificent purple car pet . embroidered with , a Norman rose ; and on the left of the throne was placed a splendid chair of State for the £ 30 , 000 a-year boy to sit in . A vast number of the tax-eaters were present , anxious to see , and be seen , in the show ; many of them being those interesting little dears , who , for peculiar services , have been placed on tne pension list . So disorderly did the meeting conduct itself , that scarcely a word of the " Speech" could be heard . The following was intended to have been delivered to the " two houses , " had the " two houses" had manners to listen to the little woman , while ? he read it " in her usual clear and distinct manner . "
"THE SPEECH . " My Lords and Gentlemen , I have the satisfaction to receive from Foreign Powers assurances of their friendly disposition , and of their earnest desire to maintain peace . The position of affairs in the Levant had long been a cause of uneasiness , and a source of danger to the general tranquillity . With a view to avert the evils which a continuance of that state of things was calculated to occasion , I concluded with the Emperor of Austria , the King of Prussia , the Emperor of Russia , and the Sultan , a Convention intended to effect a pacification of the Levant ; to maintain the integrity and independence of the Ottoman Empire ; and thereby to afford additional security to the peace of Europe . 1 have given directions that this Convention shall be aid before you .
I rejoice to be able to inform you , that the measures which have been adopted in execution of these engagements have been attended with signal success ; and I trust that the objects which the contracting parties ha 4 in view are on the eve of being completely accomplished . In the course of these transactions my Naval Forces have co-operated with those of the Emperor of Austria , and with the Land and Sea Forces of the Sultan , and have displayed upon all occasions their accustomed gallantry and skill . Having deemed it necessary to send to the coast of China a naval and military force , to demand reparation and redress for injuries inflicted upen some of my subjects by the officers of the Emperor of China , and for indignities offered to an Agent of my Crown , I , at the same time , appointed Plenipotentiaries to treat upon thfcse matters with the Chinese Government
These Plenipotentiaries were , by the last accounts , in negotiation with the Government of China ; and it will be a source of much gratification to me , if that Government shall bo induced by Us own sense of justice to bring these matters to a speedy settlement by an amicable arrangement Serious differences have arisen between Spain and Portugal about the execution of a Treaty , concluded by those powers in 1835 . for regulating the navigation of the Douro . But both parties have accepted my mediation , and I hope to be able to effects reconciliation between them upon terms honourable to both . I have concluded with the Argentine Republic and with the Republic of Hay ti , treaties for the suppression of the Siave Trade , which I have directed to be laid before you .
Gentlemen of the House of Commons , I have directed the estimates for the year to be laid before you . However sensible of the importance of adhering to the principles of economy , I feel it to be my duty to recommend that adequate provision be made for the exigencies of the public service . My Lords and Gentlemen , Measures will be submitted to you without delay , which have- for their object the more speedy and effectual administration of justice . The vital importance of this subject is sufficient to ensure for it your early and most serious consideration . The Powers of the Commissioners appointed under the Act for the amendment of the laws relating to the Poor expire at th « termination of the present year . 1 feel assured that you -will earnestly direct your attention to enactments "which so deeply concern the interesta of the community .
Uis alway 8 wita entire confidence that I recur to the advice and assistance of my Parliament I place my reliance upon yonr wisdom , loyalty , and patriotism , and I humbly implore of Divine Providence that all your Councils may be so directed as to advance the great interests of morality and religion , to preserve peace , and to promote , by enlightened legislation , the welfare and the happiness of all classes of my subjects . After the show was over , and the interlopers had departed , the u Upper House" resumed , wnen Lord Beaumont ( late Mr . Myles Staple ton who has made good his claim to the dormant peerage of Beaumont ) , took the oaths and his seat Viscount Melbourne laid the Convention entered into between her Majesty and the Emperor of Austria , the Emperor of Russia , the King of Pxuwia , and the Sultan , for the pacification ef Turkey , on the table . *
The Lord Chancellor then read her Majesty's speech , during the reading of which Lord Brougham entered the House , and , -walking up to the Conserw tire side , shook hands with the Duke of Wellington , and then took his seat in his usual place . The speech having been read , Lord Dccie rose for the purpose of moving the Address . He said—

"It appeared to Urn that it had fceen the custorn to fix on the most inexperienced person In that House to move the Address in answer to the Speech from the Thiona ; and on the . present occasion Lord Melbourne had certainly not shown himself a reformer , but had adhered closely to the old custom . " After this appropriate introduction , the " noble lord" hobbled along with , a very wise Bay , in the course of which he asserted that we had " Peace at home , and oar arms had been victorious abroad . Peace at home had been secured by the strict enforcement of the law , and the results that bad taken place in the East were attributable to the admirable policy that had been adopted by her Majesty' « Foreign Sceretary . " He concluded by moving itee address , which was , as usual , a mere echo of the speech . Lord Lorgan seconded the address , and said that
"He felt conscious of bis deficiency to do justice to a subject of such importance . " He truly said , — "The Address was but a dull copy and spiritless echo of the communication from the Throne ;—( a laugh ) , but he did not think the worse of it for that . Tho session commenced under very auspicious circumstances ; and be wished he could state that any of those Auspicious circumstances had diffused any of their bright beams through the nature and composition of tho
Address ; but proud as he was at having the honour of standing sponsor to the Noble Lord ' s production , and a very promising production he fully anticipated all their Lordships , without exception , would pronounce it to be ; and naturally dispesed aa be was to take upon himself tbat sort of after-birth paternity that was put on the seconders of the Address , still , with all his feelings-of partiality for it , he confessed that he could not discover in it any of those sentiments that would bare made it more agreeable to himself . —( Suppressed laughter ) .
Lord Broughah saw enough in the tone of the speech to fill his mind with the most gloomy apprehensions . It was true that our arms had been , owing to British valour , triumphant ; and it was possible that the wars we had engaged in were defensible ; but if defeusible , it could only be upon the strict ground of absolute necessity . He could not concur in the opinion entertained by some people—that this country should , on no account , interfere in continental politics ; but there was a grtat difference between keeping aloof altogether and eternally intermedling and keeping up a sort of ubiquity , always acting , negotiating , and intermeddling everywhere , as if each country in Europe was part and parcel of Great Britain . Tho Noble Lord then adverted to the singular pplioy pursued by this country with the professed view of
preserving the integrity of the Turkish empire . The only power of whom there was any apprehension , as regarded Turkey , was Russia , and yet England united with that very power to carry out tho recent policy in the East ; and he intimated that Russia was very unlikely to have entered into any such scheme— a scheme apparently opposed to her own interests and to her designs on Turkey , unless she could perceive greater advantages in perspective , and these advantages he thought her policy would foresee as an inevitable result of a breach between France and Eaglaud . He thought aleo that if France had any real designs on Egypt aud the East , this country had more to fear from an alliance between that country and Russia to carry out their respective objects , than she could have to fear from either , while the good understanding with France was preserved .
Viscount Melbourne waa unprepared to enter into a defence of the foreign policy ot the Government , more particularly after the effects which it had produced . The Duke of Wellington defended the policy ot Ministers in reference to the East In justice to Russia , be must say that , on a former occasion , no power could be more anxious than she was to induce the maritime powers to prevent the invasion of Syria by Mebemet Ali , in order to obviate the necessity of her sending an army to Constantinople . He
believed that no person had done more than himself , siuce he bad the honour of serving the Crown in 1814 , —nay , no one had done half so much to preserve tho peace of Europe , and to keep up ths best understanding between this conntry and Franca , and to place France , as such a great nation ought to be , in the councils of Europe ; feeling convinced that if France did not hold her proper position in those councils , there would be no security for the peace of Europe , or for justice or sound decision upon any subject
Lord Brougham thought that , in drawing that lr « st statement from tho Noble Duke , he hod rendered most essential service to t ! -e peace of Europe . The address was then agreed to , and their Lordships adiwurned .

SECOND LETTER TO LOBD PALMERSTON . " Two thousand souls and twenty thousand ducats , Will not debate the question of this Btraw . " Shakspeare . m 4 Lord , —You are one of those who will not let well alone . You must be meddling , nor will you take a plain course , but choose an intricate one , to display your talents for diplomacy , to out-devil the devil-Like the fool of Hamlet , yoa are not content with the duty that is set down for yoa ; bat mast play off some extra fooleries of your own . " Thia is villanous , and shows a most pitiful ambition in you . " You must adjust the balance of power In Europe , as if it would

not come to an equllibrio of itself ! and you most do tbiB after a fashion peculiar to yourself ; that is , by going to war to preserve peace . ' Egypt first liberates itself from Turkish tyranny , and then rescues Syria ' s "land of roses . " The Pacha pays England the compliment to make our institutions his moduls for civilising his newly reclaimed people . France , the friend of freedom , favours him j but England , tne land of liberty . ' joins the most despotic countries in Europe , to prevent the progress of his humanising policy . We join with the Russians , the Austrians , and the Turks against one poor old man , and incite his half-civilised subjects to revolt and re-Iaps 9 into barbirism . The French would not join against him ; the French would most gladly have rushed to bis rescue ; but their king forbad .
Overgrown power weakens itself ; but , supposing , for argument ' s sake , that the balance of power was really threatened by Mehemet Ali ; are there not other nations more nearly concerned in the matter than we t Why should England be the foremost to sacrifice blood and treasure in this foreign quoarrel ? America did not interfere ; no , America knew better ; she ia a Republic ! and which of the powers , now allied with us , attempted to force America back into our gripe ? What had we to fear from Var-distant Mehemet ? We had everything to hope . He admitted us—he admired us he imitated us . But , what if he had hated us 1 Are we
not masters of the sea which surrounds us , which separates us ? Could we not have kept him , and all the world , at bay ? Oh , but we had to dread French influence in Egypt ! Why , we have gone the direct way to increase that influence , by acting the enemy to one disposed to be our friend ; by thrashing him in a fit of jealousy to make him love us , we have increased the sympathetic power of the seducer . We have rendered his alliance necessary to retaliate the injuries we have done him , and to procure a restitution of the property we have wrung from him . Yes , Syria will again be restored to Mehemet and something more .
If my Lord loves interference , why did he not interfere in behalf of Greece or Poland ? Alas ! be does noty love liberty ; and therefore it is that he allies himself with the tyrant-rulers of those unhappy countries against ; the rising dignity of Egypt . But , the independence of the Ottoman empire must be maintained ! —the integrity of the Sublime Porte must be upheld ! —and Lord Palmerstcn ' s method of doing this is by shaking the independence of England , and by- forfeiting bis own integrity . Yes , my Lord , you were pledged to peace ; your lust for war was curbed by q sacred pledge . I trust France will judge England by the pledge the people required of you , and you by your
dishonourable breach of it . But , then , France may ask , why are you allowed to retain your place?—and this question we mast answer satisfactorily , or expect the consequences of your vile policy . It were nothing , had you merely committed yourself ; but you have committed England along with yourself . How could we prevent it ? You kept us in the dark , intending to astonish us by a fine streke of Machiaveligm , and what have you done ? You think you have settled the Eastern question ; why , that was a matter of no moment to us , whatever way it was settled ; and , for this question of a straw you have involved England in a probable war with the whole world .
Was it not enough that you should send a fleet out to China to massacre an innocent people for a crime , ( if it were net an exemplary act of virtue , ) which their governors had committed ? That you should revenge a robVery ( if it were not a jast confiscation ) by endless murders , instead of giving up the smugglers to the law which they had broken ? Was not this sufficiently horrible , sufficient to render the name ot Englishman odious throughout the globe , but you must take a mean advantage of the defenceless and unprovided condition of an old man , " As full of grief aa age , wretched in both . "
You outwitted his only friend by a trick of rascality , such as ho could not stoop to meet , could not dream of . You took external force , four againsfc one , whose internal difficulties required all his care and strength ; and , like a bully , you boast of having knocked him down . You have broken the two greatest laws on earth ; the law of nature , which is the law of God ; and the law of nations , which ia the law of- universal man . Most unwarrantably , and most insolently , you have provoked France to please Turkey , and formed a hollow alliance -with Russia , which she will break , as soon as , through your baseness , . and
blunders , she can have England " on the hip . " " You have sown dissension where there should be peace . " With France , we could have preserved the peace of all Europe ; without her , we cannot preserve our own . Our motto should be , — "Peace with France , though we have war with all the world . " France wished to pursue the path of freedom and civilisation , coupled with us : and is this the nation which you have gone out of your way to disgust ? which yeu are driving into an alliance with Russia , or with hell , to be revenged on us ? The demon of war had fallen asleep , gorged with victims ; you have roused him with the roar of cannon , and now , evil exorcist / lay him it you
can . Say , that you wished to display the power of Great Britain ; pity that it was not in a better cause . ' The Turkish Government is the most despotic in Europe ; and , though it is said that the subjects under such a Government are always kept the quie test , insurrections are more rife in Turkey than in any other country . Turkey alienates her own provinces from herselfand England , forsooth ! must force them back under her hard yoke . What have we to do with the independence of the Ottoman empire ? Let her maintain it herself , or take the just consequences of
her despotic conduct . Why should Christians fight to uphold Mahometan tyranny and bigotry ? Victoria , the reputed head of the Protestant Church , is made to league with Romanists , Greekists , and Mussulmen . The Queen of a free country is allied -with foreign despots , and fights upon the Holy Land to destroy those principles whfch Jesus Christ died to save . The Pope styled Henry VIII ., " defender of the faith , " for writing a book in defence of Popery , and the Sultan is to present a diamond necklace to Victoria , for supporting Moslem integrity . Had she not better turn Sultaness ?
My Lord , you have j $ one so much out of your way in this " bloody business "—it was so pl&inly the interest of this country not to interfere , except , indeed , on the other side—that we cannot but suspect the Grand Turk won you over by motives of a private nature , which outweighed your regard for the public good . Or were you overcome b y the importunities of relations , who besought you for an opportunity to distinguish themselves in a safe service , that they might procure promotion ? Or , lastly , aba 11 we say that , fearing your date of office was out , you were resolved to gratify your spleen before you retired and give you successor
a red-hot wand to handle ? Brave men have been sent on services only fit for the vilest cowards ; the British nag has been tarnished with guilt and sent round the globe to show its shame ; an angry feud has been excited In France ; passions , long laid , wantonly provoked into action ; the indignation and contempt of all humane and honest men excited ; and all this because out foreign Minister happens to be a busy-body , a mischief-maker , a second marplot , who rouses the very objections which he seeks to allay . We must brew our tea with bloed , because , in return for that cheering
herb , we are determined to make the Chinese take a poisonous drug ; and we must bring all Europe about our ears , because we could not let Egypt alone . Nay more , it is likely that Turkey , for whose sake we have made so many enemies , will itself join them against us , because we do not compel Egypt , as well as Syria , to submit to her bowstring . The morality of the action is not affected by its success .. And this is the boasted Palmerston policy—your policy , any Lord . TU « wise Lord Bacon says that Christians should wage a war of extermination with books , you have fought for the Koran , like a good Islamite .
You have alleged several reasons to excuse your folly and turpitude ; the mwt flimsy of all if , the pretence of regulating the balance of power . France , with us , throws a weight in the scale that makes all the other nations kick the beam . France neutral , it fluctuates in uncertainty ; France opposed , and we find oar equal at sea , our superior on land . Another reason is , the integrity of the Porte—he is the legitimate sovereign" fine word that legitimate 1 " and yoa sympathise with him , while M . Thiers sympathises with tne Pacha , who is certainly more fit to be a sovereign . But the Btrang ^ st of your reasons is , that Mehemet was ill-usiug bis subjects ; as if the Sultan would use them better . My

There is poetry in that people ; arid God forty that they should ever ceas 9 to detest and despise ^
cold-blooded policy ot a Goth and Vandal , such as jn have shown yourself . Honour , honesty , and humanity were all forgotten or trampled upon by you ; and tin chance of Christianizing Egypt , which , under tolerant sway cf tho Pacha , was more than probably . under the intolerant Sultan is all but impossible Though these things will not grieve you , nor the eartk . devils , your middle-class Whig supporters , yet h « will you answer to them in a matter of far greats importance in their eyes , the loss of such a good cm . tomer as Mehomet has ever been ?
You are a cunning gambler , my Lord ; yon make am of winning before you play . You send an ormaniesj against one nation that can be killed—but knows uoj how to kill ; and you take overwhelming odds agaiut another . The easiness of the conquest shows the d * honour of it . No brave men can boast of it ; a lthonjii the gasconading Napier has received additional hononn for not refusing to " erabrue his hands in innocaa blood . " But why resort to force at all ? He is buti poor politician—he is the worst of politicians—tijj cannot arbitrate without arms . It was expected tht your wisdom would preserve us from war ; but yw foolishly and wickedly plunge us into it How cmi , how vulgar-minded it is in you to sit coolly in flu cabinet , and transmit common-place orders , by whics the '
" Inhumanity of man to man " is licensed snd excited . " What countless thousands " you have made to mourn ! How many boys and giih have bad their little limbs shot off by the guns ¦ whici you commanded to be fired ? How many infants hm been killed at their mothers' breasts ? What devaststiaa and horror not to be spoken of , not to be thought d , have you spread among families that never did you any barm , that do not so much as know the reason ibj . The very devils , engaged in this hellish work , sickened at the sight of what they ha * done .

True , you lun the power to meddle and make mischief ; but the mom power you have , the more mercy yoa should have . Wbj should you needlessly provoke the curse of God on IMj country ?

Tender-conscienced religionists scruple to pay churchrates . Can they , as consistent moralists , pay war-rites ? Our present government , both Church and State , is founded on force and fraud , and equally deserves ths reprobation of all pious men . To pay for the wars is worse than to pray for them . Yet where are tha Quaker-protests against tbem ? Wars more unjust and more unnecessary were never waged , and , if the fate « Sodom and Gomorrah was to befal this country , who shall say it would not be fit retribution ? Alas ! the worldly spirit of these Whig times has corrupted ens
