There is no species of sophistry to which some men will not have recourse, to support positions, to render which tenable, honest means are insufficient. Thus in both Houses of Parliament have the lead- Wig Ministers, in answer to the motions, having for their end the protection of Naples from a much more tyrannical interference than ever disgraced Napoleon's reign, replied, that for the last twenty years the Whigs had been loud in their condemna tion of war, and now, that Ministers had resolved not to interfere, they censured them fur their pacific determination ; but do Lords Liverpool and Castle reagh suppose, that because by their influence majo rities may assent to this statement, the people are to be gulled by it—do they suppose that the country will not see through the shallow falsehood of it ? The Whigs were always opposed to a war of aggres sion a war commenced against the liberty of a people opposed to tyranny; and the same feelings of liberality actuate the Whigs when they would hold out the protecting arm of England to save the Neapolitans from the infamous, lawless dictation of the " lloly Alliance."—Had a revolution been effected in oppo sition to the wishes of the King, we hold that they would have no right to interfere; but when the good old King, studying the happiness of his people, willingly acceded to the proposed alteration,for these despots to unite to prevent his goodness is, perhaps, an instance without a parallel, on the score of its shamelessness. We know, however, that " a people to be free need only to will it," and we hope that if they should attempt to carry their menace into effect, the disasters of Napoleon's expedition to Moscow may be rendered trilling, in comparison with those of the Aggressors against Naples. Lord John Russell's motion for a Committee to inquire into the outrage committed against the liberties of the people by the I ugh !iherifF of the county of Dublin, has been defeated by a vote of the House. Ministers referred the complainants •o the legal tribunalsos they did those who complained of the primpiilude of the Magistrates and Yeomanry at Manchester—As if a fair investigation could be Loped for in either situation before a Grand Jury, over which Government has influcnce.
