The apprehension* which were lust

have nearly subsided. Il would appear
that this alteration in public opinion
throughout (Europe, has l>een principally
rIV cted by a change of ministry in this
»icu dry, and hy their declaration of non
intervention nnd of their desire t. pre
eervo universal peace, which llicy nnule
on their appointment.
The incendiary mil rapes -which have
hnen committed over ho prent a portion,
of the country, have for the most par.
-oe-ised, on the strict enforcement of the
law, (lie penalties of which now await
the perpetrators. Tho evidence on the
trhil.ofthc prisoners, we doubt not, will
Hltow that the laborers were'iml alone the
polity parties. In many eases there m
good reason to believe that the farmers
themselves have instigated the laborers
to their lawless deeds, and in others that
they have quietly {poked oil, for the pur
pose of arousing their landlords into a
■pease of their distressed stale in const 1 -
qnence of high rents and tithes, with low
prices lor their produce.
If this be correct, and we believe it k>.<
then have they succeeded, we should
tlimk, beyond their most sanguine • v
jn eUnams, fur.not only have the land,
lords e .nsented to reduce their rents, and
the clergy their tithes, lint such a sensa
tion 1' been produced in the minds of
the government and the legislature, that
inquiry, retrenchment, (mid consequent
.reduction of'taxation;) and reform of
Parli.i'iient will certainly follow. The
institutions of the country will be regcnc
ral'id and a long reign of peace und hup
pi* ess, will, in all probability, be the con
sequence.
The cause of Reform in Parliament is
.pothering qn ireesistiil.le force, und it
must soon he grunted, or ns Earl Grey
says, it will be taken. The public inter-,
demand it, ituddenly it *»dangerous.
A,few yee.rs since, urn! the man who u
vowed himself a Reformer,'stood « seif

no safety for the country hut in such a

that the Choctaw Indians have commen

of the obstructions in the navigation of
