the kingston chronicle saturday october i 1831 we won merely enabled in a short postaipt to our pacr of saturday to uflbrd our readers nn epitome of the news that the recent arrivals at new york had furnished a short lived and un- sanguiuary war the duration of which did not exceed ten day supplied the american prints with a copious field of speculation as well as the british parliament with a momentary respite from the tedious and tiresome discussion that invariably attends every minute alteration in the subject of reform upon the former point wc have selected from the latest english and french print such extract as may interest our readers the appearance of 50000 french troops upon the frontier as well as a powerful british fleet in the scheldt quickly reduced the belligerent spi rit of the contending parties to submission a circumstance by no means unacceptable to the belgians who with that delicate sense of self- preservation peculiar to their nationavailcd them selves of all the stratagens that cowardice and rapid retrogade movements could supply to avoid the noxious vapours of those implements of war that human ingenuity had invented as the arbi- trators of political collision such is represented as the panic of the belgians that forgetful of every thing but their own safety they abandon ed their newly appointed sovereign to his fate whose valour and determination were conspicu ously displayed and unable to commandthe at tendance of one of his staff his majesty was compelled to accompany his dastardly subjects in their rapid and ignominious flight- with this

the weather for the last week has assumed a something more than an autumnal character the storm of wind on wednesday evening was for many hours exceedingly remric ttus was followed by a night of

pursuant to public notice the main guard house in this town was sold by order of tho magistrates with the design we understand of rendering the ground on which it stood available to the public benefit by ex tending the shambles beyond thcirpresenl limit we would suggest the propriety of removing the whole establishment and erecting a handsome and commodious building upon the site af fording every species of culinary material a dis tinct apartment and relieving the housekeeper from the present obstruction that the number of wagons presents to his progress through the square no arrangement can

and benefit it is of considerable importancein this discus sion to remember that in all that mr burke has said on the question of colonial representa tion he never once objected to the theoretical and constitutional principles which the project involved he always took care to keep at as areata distance from this point as a mariner iocs from rocks and quicksands as to this he l p ears constantly to have held a compass in me hand and a quadrant in the other the othola force of his energclick mind was accord ingly brought to bear not on the end proposed m on the man of its accomplishment which e

far such a sys tem will be an improvement of our constitution according to any sound theory not that i mean to condemn such sscculative inquiries con cerning this great object of the national atten

possiblybemore alsurd nun to urge objections in limine to the executicn of any plan or scheme before the plan or schema itself is formed we see clearly that mr burie docs not disapprove of colonial re presentation but on the contrary admits it to be a position which may with safety and propriety be discussed as tending to clear doubtfu points possibly leading to real improvements it was certainly then inconsistent it was cer tainly premaiure to anticipate as well as to main tain objections to the operation of a measure before the measure itself had been matured in this way we could defy all art and science in this way we might defend ourselves against the whole institutions of society itself we should be justified in saying to the legislator u sir do not at your peril pass that law for
