It then appeared that the crop of wheat, (about the failure of which these papers lately toi l us so tmir h), w ouhl be an average one. T'.e distress of the laboring poor continues, and there was not at present any prospect of relieving it. The people were meeting in large numbers, and they were gloomy and sad. in eneial, but not so much disposed to riot as heretofore. They were evidently becoming more and more misera ble. The wages of women and children, in some places, had been reduced to one jwnnif a tiny the price of articles had been greatly diminished in the hope of increasing the sale, but without effect, the markets heig glutted. For instance, a piece of goods that lately cost 3s Cxi. paid to the weavers only, was selling for o. JJ. The

cotton spinners, in general, it seems, will be hardly pushed to sustain themselves from becoming bankrupts. Business of cverv desciiption w is languid. The people, in the manfacturing districts, were reported as supply ing themselves with arms. We think that society in Kngland, by the increase of the people pressing upon the means of subsistence, by the con -I iws, the taxes, the excises, by Ivthes and the poor rates has nearly reached a point that will

command ome great change in the policy of the cotintn for, as before observed, the people must live. Reformati m may not take place for some time to come the poor may yet subsist through

the aid of thoe whom thev have enriched, but these supplies will not last; and some j radical change? must be effected to place ! th" people in a condition suitable to the I nrw V uf tilings to which they have been introduced by the revolutions that have j taken place in the commercial and mai.ti j fat -Hiring interest of most nation, and the

many improvements that have taken plan in almost every country.

With the preceding principles, and those that are naturally attached to them it is possible that the Portuguese will become possessed of as large a portion of the rights of human nature as they are. at present, abb? to understand and preserve. Mind has been so debased in most of the old monarchies of Europe, that a generation or two must pass away before the people are sufficiently improved to enjoy those blessings which the combined power of the "altar and the throne' have deprived them.
