136 THE EXAMINER.-----
in the advantages of our improvements in machinery. We understand,
however, that the cotton manufacturers assert, that the new tax, added to the
present tax of a half-penny per pound, will have considerable effect on the
sale of the manufactured article; and that they intend to prove that our
export would be greatly increased if all taxes were taken off raw cotton. The
Ministers have consented to allow the drawback on printed calicoes on exportation
for three months; but have refused to allow drawback on the stock in
hand for home consumption. This appears to us very unfair on the persons
who have stocks of goods fitted only for the English market.
Instead of allowing the drawback only on exportation, and that but for three
months, the drawback should be allowed on all the stock in hand; and the
holders should be permitted to export when they please, and not forced to glut
foreign markets with existing stocks, and throw the trade out of work until
they are cleared off.

NOTICES.
The sentiment of the Journal treated of by 'Pubicola' is unworthy of his
contempt.
Surely nothing that was inserted in the Examiner could have had (even at
the time) the mischievous influence apprehended by 'An Old Subscriber.'
We believe that Bolivar did not deserve the character.
We extremely regret that we cannot make room for the letter of Me. Ensor
in this Number.
Our correspondent mistakes in supposing that any slight was intended to Col.
Jones, whose labours, under the signature of "Radical," in the Times, for the
exposure of jobbing and abuses, entitle him to respect and gratitude. Anything
cavalier in our tone was addressed to the Vice-Suppressing Society.

LONDON, FEBRUARY 27.
The late tumults in Paris have been viewed by all parties in France
in a far more serious light than the accounts at first received in this
country made them appear to merit. Moderate, time-serving
newspapers, and moderate, time-serving deputies, have now publicly
declared their conviction on the following points:—That it is now
obvious that the National Guard, and the middle classes, at least, of
Paris, are not satisfied with the present state of the government,
either in respect to men or measures;—That, until they obtain a
government with which they are satisfied, the feeling of security
will not revive;—That until there is security, the laboring
population will be without work, will be dissatisfied, a prey to agitators,
and ready for continual tumults: which tumults, so long as they do
not endanger human life or private property, the National Guard will
give themselves as little trouble as possible to suppress. All this has
been obvious to every man of common sense for the last six months;
and the popular journals have been dinning it into the ears of the
King and the Chamber since August last. But they would not listen
to Reason, when she came with a gentle whisper; and now they
must be fain both to hear and feel her, returning with a loud shout
or a thundering blow.
