The Viscount Althorp, Chancellor of the Exchequer, &C., &C., &C England has not been engaged in war for nearly seventeen years, and this long period of uninterrupted peace has presented nothing but a series of calamity and suffering unequalled in any country, even during the most ruinous and expensive contest. The plea of transition must be considered as 'long. Since at an end. Far from experiencmg the often promised alle viation of our distress, not even a hope of improvement remains: each revolving year plunges the country into deeper ruin; and, after havrng swept away the fortunes of thou sands, having consigned to bankruptcy the com mercial, the manufacturing, and 'the agricul tural interests - having sent despair and suicide through the land and increased to a fearful de gree the amount of crime, the mighty evil has, at length reached the public revenue, and ifi sufl'ered to pursue its destructive course, will soon fatally affect that very interest, to the nu just aggrandizement of which, the productive classes have been thus mercilessly sacrificed.
