From a late London paper.
The Prophecy of plenty for the year 1833.
Listen, good reader, I sing unto thee,
The plenty we'll have in the year thirty-three!
ENGLAND IN 1833.
Plenty of changes, and all for the worse,
Plenty of blessings exchanged for one curse;
Plenty of nostrums that never were tried,
Plenty of Jiberty, all on one side.
Plenty to overturn, few to uphold;
Plenty of poverty, great lack of gold!
Plenty of promises, and nothing in hand,
Plenty of paupers, all gaping for land;
Plenty of dupes to a handful of knaves,
Plenty of freemen vast verging to slaves,
Plenty of atheists scoffing at God,
Plenty of faction at home and abroad;
Plenty of colonies cutting adrift,
Plenty of demagogues lending a lift;
Plenty of newspapers springing ihe mine,
Plenty of readers to think it all fine.
Plenty of projects with misery fraught,
Plenty of fools byno precedent taught;
Tlenly of Quixotry still in the wrong,
Plenty of humbug that cannot last long.
Plenty of lawgivers, "tattered and torn,"
Plenty of delegates fettered and sworn;
Plenty of noblemen swamping the peers,
Plenty Conservatives all by iheears;
Plenty of gentlemen cutting their throats,
Plenty of waverers turning their coats;
Plenty of rogues with h all their own way,
Plenty of honest men skulking awav:
Plenty of Whigs to send England to ruin,
Plenty of Tories to let thembe doin
o
Plenty of meddling without a pretence,
Plenty of war that is all for "offence,"
Plenty of mitres that tottering sit,
Plenty of churches with notice to quit.
Plenty of ancestry, just to disown,
Plenty of rats undermining the throne;
Plenty to day to work mischief and orrow,
Plenty to vote a republic to-morrow.
Such is the plenty, I promise, will bo
In the land of old England, once merry and free,

strongly reprobated his conduct, and
committed him to prison for having de

Biitish Colonial Slavery. The act

drawn up a documentary liLstory of imready made sausages from one end, and i
emu LMuitrss or s averv in ihP Daie.ni scruimititr itrtihm ih nth
West Indies, and submitted a copy of
the same to each member of the British
Puriament. The sum of the whole mat
ter is, as stated by the Journal of Com
merce, that the slave trade was urged up
on the colonies by the British Govern
ment; that various attempts were made
by the colonies to check the importation
of slaves, by legislation, remonstrances,
&c. but that such attempts were uni
formly resisted by the government of ihe
mother country, until, at length, in 1775,
on order was issued by the Kino to the
Governor of the island, forbidding him,
under pain of being removed from his
office, to give his assent to any acts en
creasing the duties upon slaves imported
into the island.
The colonies, by the agent of Jamaica,
remonstrated against the resolution of the
government; but the Earl of Dartmouth
replied, "We cannot allow the colonies
to check or discourage in any degree a
traffic so beneficial to the nation."
Su;h was precisely the course of poli
cy pursued by the British government
towards thse United States previous to
me ivuvoiuuon. ueat to the repeated
petitions of the Legislature of Virginia,
and other American colonies, shercfu
Bed to abolish, nay absolutely encouraged,
the slave trade in this hemisphere. And
we ask, with what shadow of justice, can
agland now emancipate the slaves of the
West India Islands, without making full
compensation to their owners? Pet. 'PL
