has taken place, and some easures adopted
Of an alleyiating description but they BY no
means come up 10 the wishes of the agricul
tural interest. A steady resistance is opposed
to the Catholic emancipation T; and with re-
gard 10 parliamentary reform, the matter has
been so long before the public, the words
have been so constantly in the mouth of every
politician, that the topic is considered as com
mon place, and the various solid arguments
employed 10 its favor have greatly lost their
Influence The poor in Ireland continue to
perish from hunger; and this effect Of bad
government is one of the most extraordinary
occurrences of The times in which we live


When we reflect that England and ireland are
both fruitful countries, that immense quanti
ties OF grain are in the warehouses, and might
be purchased al reasonable price, it is truly
surprising that the British government per
mts valuable part of lis population to die
for the want Of food. The evil lies deep, and
may be traced TO the grinding system Of
double rents, of tihes, and of taxes which are
wrung from the hands of The laboring classes
to pamper the nobility and the higher order
Of the clergy Private contributions for the
reIie. OF the suffering Irish have been Iiber al
but by no means adequate 10 their wants
With respect to foreign affairs, the chief in-
cident Of British policy is the relaxation OF
the rIgor of her colonial system in relation TO
| the West India trade. The occurrence is
memorable in the history Of commerce and
The change, we presume, is TO be attributed tc
The revolutions in Spanish America, TO The
revolutionary temper manifested in Cuba, and
several other islands, and 10 the territoria
dominion which The United States have ac-
CURED on the Gulf Of Mexico. Up to the
preseut year, Great Britain had uniformly
refused TO our navigation any reciprocity Of
commercial intercourse with her West Indian
and North American possessions And now
that she admits Il, we expect to see il con-
necied with other projects oftrade calculated
to give advantages TO British bottoms. This
must be expected and our commercial men,
as there is no board Of trade in our govern
ment, ought TO be on the alert to ascertain, as
early as possible, the exact practical results Of
the new regulations affecting the colonial COM
merce Of Great Britain.
