'I C • • Zhe ~~:.., LONDON: -. SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 25, Ift3. BOURBON WAR. The newi of yesterday seed's to decide this point. The public will now see, who has been right and whe wrong, from the commencement of this question. FroUt the very outset, tee predicted WAR. What was the Old Times, the Chronicle, the Herald, the late Tramper, the the great Globe itself, the twinkling Star ; what were all these silent; had they no intelligence? Were they blind as buzzards; or,are they engaged in stock jobbing? Be this as it may, we were right and they were wrong, from the very outset. IVe were not biased by stock jobbing propensities. We took the, facts that the case famished; and having no particular interest at stake, reasoned fairly on those facts, and came to the conclosioa that there would be war. We ridiculed the idea of Mr. Caysixe's shield. When our friend, Old Chromes, talked of France not daring to go to war in despite of the advice and remonstrances of our Government ; when Chronny talked of the "power of the whole British Rue " pire;" we said, dear Chronny, the" British Empire" has so power; the "British Empire" dares not go to war, Chronny; the French knew that; the French know our situation as well as we know it ; the French know that we cannot go to war without blowing up our Debt; they know that the Debt cannot be blown tap without blowing up Hatton and Old Sarum; they keew that to blow them up would break poor Mr. CAN. MING'S heart ; in short, dear Clammy; we dare not make ear desoatches smell of pireder S therefore, the French will not be etoppe4 en their marelsfor one single mutual by the advice o r the remotutrantres of our gerovranwato—We --ewil—opostesho pablic, and, especiaily,the. traders is Spanish loads to remember that this tea s one lapguage to our Mead, Chronny. And what Is nave come to light ? Why; the literal verification of these o pinions : for, what 'Willa French papers now tell us They tell ' i s this; thatthe Holy Ally•blen have withdrawn their arntitsia dors from Spain, and nee about to send aratessaddis to the Rebel Regensey. But this is not the thing *bleb we have now particularly in view. These French papers tell us, that our tiovernment TWICE OFFERED; ITS MEDIA lION: first, by the DeRE of IVEmiNcrox, and second, by Sir WM. A. COURT ; and thati Fr.ince REk'USED tO ACCEPT OF THE MEDIATION —This is what has not happened to England, we believe, for upwards of four hundred years ! What! have your mediation refused, in a case like this, and not go to war !—However, the bare fact is enough to excite the indignation of every Englishman who has any portion of feeling or understanding. This is Chronny*, shield Yes, Mr. CANNINO held it out; but the Bourbons dashed it away with the back of their hand ! This is only the beginning of sorrows, however. This is only the beginning of what this nation has to endure, for the folly and the baseness of Orange Bore* and the White Cockade. We remem ber the baseness that reigned when CASTLEREAGH was received with clapping of bands in that Assembly which passed Sid:notate:: pow er•of-imprisonment•act, which sanctioned Sidmouth's circular, which would not inquire into the Manchester affair and into the Oldham Inquest, which passed Six Ag i t% which passed the kiame Transportation Act; we remember the baseness that reigned in the nation at the date when-Casmanimou was received by clapping of hands by that Assembly; we rem-tuber the applause heaped upon Old Bhurtma because he was the first to rifle the .Itfitscems of PARIS, we remember. aye, and the whole world realembots, the death of bIARSUAL NET and the captive of HUDSON Lowe; and this same world now beholds ktwiee prof fered mediation of England rejected wMb acoro.4 the men of tlie.teirio cockade !• We (orient hundred years, such .an indignity has not been offered to this country. Mark the folly, too, of the proffer t When you are about so offer your mediation, in a case like this, you ought to be sore that it will be accepted of at once, and with thanks; or you ought to be prepared f or war. This has been a maxim in diplomatic affairs for centuries. Advice, in a case like this, must be command; or it ought not to be given at all.--To a pretty state is ringland faller, since that day when a.bleitiber of the Noose of Commons iaid," a single cannon ought not to " be fired rein Eyrc.pe, without the permission of Eng. lend." Vot.ralits cites this speech, not as a speci men of arrogance, but as a proof of the high spirit and great power of the English Nation. We have always predicted that this Debt would make. thi s nat i on t h e lowest aid most despicable cpon 11:e face of the earth This Debt has been cuntr:irted for the sake of Hatton and Old Sarum ; and to the wretched Borough System, vre shali owe calamities ten thousand times treater than now oppress the CoUntry. . FRIGHT QF THE MINISTERS! We noticed io the Statesman of yesterday that the Courie► newspaper had, in the name of the Ministers, dieowoed the 'Penury pamphlet pallisheti 4fiann •p. We remarked on the iinpasfeoce of thedastiwo lag ; bat the impudence is by no means the tang most .STATESIJAN worthy of attention. This pamphlet' has how been 'Wished more than three weeks. It bail, from Its first appearance, been imputed to the Treasury has bee° brought forward as a Treasury manifesto : and particn laxly at Hereford oa Abe 17th INSTANT, where it Was one of the main subject. of discussion; and very pro perly so; because, it was of greit irnportince, when a county was going to petition on the subject of distress, that it should take into view the actual intentions °faze Ministers. This Treasury pamphlet, therefore, sutu rally became a thing to be exposed and very much dwelt on. In it were the designs of the Ministers laid down ; and, therefore, the Petition which the county was about to frame, would oataralltitave these designs in v:ew. The fact is, a great deal was said about this pamphlet. Strong reprobation was expressed of the de signs which it developes.And we really do believe that it was what passed at the Herefordshire Meeting, that produced the disowning of pamphlet, which, as we noticed in oar paper of yesterday, has now appeared in the courier. At the Meeting of Hereford, the grand error of the Ministers, as developed in this pamphlet, was stated ; and it was also clearly exposed, to the en tice satisfaction of the Meeting. We allude to the error plating to the ultimate safety atilt, Vandlerd sod Far mer arising out of the necessity of the loam futlissAr up nion the consumer. In short, this pamphlet was so sough iv handled, and made to appear nab' emeteloptiblerind, above all things, was so clearly shown to be a manres to in direct hostility to the landlords, that It appears not to have been thought to be safe to continue ally longer without disowning it. It is of great consequence for us to forts acorrect,oßi nion as to whether this be a pamphlet of the Treasury, or not. In the first place, it is written in proekelytthe same style, published in the same form, and it comes from the same shop with the Treasury pamphlet of last year. It may be said that note libstanding these cir cumstances, it might• possibly proceed from some one not receiving authority from the (lovernment. It may be said that some kind friend of the Ministers might base undertaken the task of his own accord. Let us now see, then, what this task is. Let us see what this kin.' friend has undertaken to say for the linisters.— He has undertaken to say a great deal, a part of which we will state in distinct propositions, as follows:- 1. That the Ministers, if suffered to proceed in their own way, will reduce the four per cent. stock, to three per cent. 2. That they will not repeal PEEL'S BILL ; and that they will do nothing to weaken the effect of that Bill. 3. That they may be induced, if the wishes of Par liament should be unequivocally expressed epos the sub. ject, to abandon their scheme of cotnpoesd interest open the Sinking Find ; and may be induced to apply this portion to the remission of taxi, or a any other form which the pressure upon particular classes ins.y require. 4. That the Ministers feel confident that, if their sys tem .be . sneered to be pursued, they shall not onlj be abie to /mien *below lief Debts. to three per cents, bet that they shall be able en take off another million of taxes this year, is the following manner:—Greenwich :Hospital 320,000/; extra charge for Ireland 350,0001; interest of five millions, Sinking Fund, 130,0001 ; arrest to the Bank (not to occur again)200,0001; which makes the million, and 30,0001. more. 5. That some other savings, from the consolidation of boards, and from retrenchments in the Civil service, will probably carry this amount beyond a million ; but that, " It mast always be borne in mind that His Majesty's " Ministers can propose snch forth.r remission of taxes " upon this ground only; that the Sinking Fend shall " be left untouched, and that, at all events, a surplus of " five millions shall be secured." 6. That it is the wish of his Majesty's Ministers that the Sinking Fund should go on to accumulate at com• pound interest. Now, these are amongst the things stated in this; pamphlet. Who wonld have the impudence to state these things, unless from authority ? It is impossible for any man to believe such a thing. When the writer speaks of the past taken by the DCKC 01/ WELLINGTON at the Congress at VERONA, he goes into the matter as much in detail as the Duke himself could have done . but it is to.the above statements that we wish to direct the attention of the-reader ; and we again ask him • who would have thought of making these statements without authority from the Ministers ? Nevertheless, it is barely possible that such a man should be found. It is barely possible that a man should have been found not only to have stated the intentions of the Ministers in the gross, hut to go into Cle above detail about Oreenuich Hospital, and the rest :of the items of saving; and to talk about the intended consolidation of hoards and other retrenchments in the ' Civil service; this is barely possible ; but it is absolately ..fsspoosikk, thell'.iack a mai should hare induced Mr. HATCUARIItOI4I/b/i3A EVA a pamphlet! Mr. HATCU AR D is the Bookseller of the Treaeury. He, it will be recol lected, published the Treasury pamphlet last year. He published Lord psi:spool's speech. In abort, he is as much the bookseller Of the Treasury as my son in Fleet Street, is my losokseller; and be would no more publish a pamphlet upon such a subject, without the approbation of the Treasury, than my son would publish a pamphlet Without my approbation. which pamphlet contained a manifesto of my wishes and intentions. This is so plain a matter, that it can leave no doubt in ' the mind of any wan. Besides, the pamphlet has, for three whole weeks, been imputed to the Treasury. The Morning Chronicle contained the imputation, the first day after its appearance; and the STATCSUAN contained the seine imputation on the fourth day after its appear ance. The Treasury must have seen these imputations ; and yet they suffer the pamphlet to pass for their's for three whole weeks; anti never think about disown ing it, 'rill they hear of the thundering reproof it re ceived at Hereford. If the Treasury knew nothing of the pamphlet from the begior'eg ; we ask if it be possi bk that they would have suffered it pass for their's, for such a length of time, and at a period so critical. Then, *erre. that, in the space . of a few• t h i s, thi s Ounpblet gets ism a great nitta‘a of idiliens. Here is a pamphlet, dull as the goddess of - duluess herself # . C It 4 stupid is the very essence of stupidity ; a style to dl. gust any titan ; an arrangement, that may truly be called hitglaty-piggiety ; two hundred and seven pig,' of as iespicable rubbish as ever was put upon paper ; only that this rubbish contains an expression of the wishes and the designs of the Ministers. How shoill several editions of such a pamphlet get about in a few Jays ; and that, too, at the monstrous price of fire Mhi'- tinge sixpence ; and besides this; with scarcely an advertisement to let people know that it was published The eoi.y that we havewas purchased the morning of the* day after the publication ; and yet oar copy is of a at. cond Edition ! Who should have bought the first Edition ; will Mr. Hazettanto tell us who bought that . first edition? Will Mr. IlsTcoano say that the wholif was not clapped upon the shoulders of a good strong.- well•fed Treasury 'porter? The point might be settled' at once by a declaration from Mr. tfirrenewts. We et: srrt that Mr. lIATcIIABD ptallStied the pamphlet by authority from the Treasury; and we challenge M . Hazciatto to deny the fact. The fact is quite clear ; and a very interesting fact it is ; because the Tailor and Barber of the Courier new.-• paper have now been ordered to tell the public that the person who wrote the pamphlet, did not write it unde authority q/' the Government, and does not hold dA o, dal situation. We do not believe one word of this. 'the 'fact, coald not have been stated in writing, except ao. der the authority of the government. We artquite satio fled that the pamphlet was written within the walls of . 'Whitehall itself. But time question is : will Mr. H ATCII. ARIN,ISEX that it *as PKBLISHED without authority from itho Treasury. Weir then, whahre we to infer from this contradic tionlWhich DANIEL STEWART. the Tailor. and MCI:WM:to the Barb* have been authorized to publish? Whv this the t itfzence, that the Ministers find, froM the piguilignqt of Ws . feeler, that they cannot venture to standby the statements which the pamphlet contains. They have learnt that they must do something more than that which it is in this pamphlet said they intend to do. Their positive determination to adhere to Peel's Bill ; that determination which is expressed in the pamphlet, in each resolute language, they begin to think that th 4 must flinch from. In the pamphlet, it is said, " they are fired and immoveable in their opinion" upon this point. We Inspect that they begin to waver as to this which they call the main point; and we furthe r suspect, that it is ibis wavering that has thiren Mx. Vaxstrraazfrorn his post! In the former part of the pamphlet, a high eulogions is pronoanced upon this gentleman. It is there said that the high price of the funds is to be cheifly attributed to the " approbat:or. " on the part of the public, of the g I system of se Finance adopted by Mr VANSITTART." Hey day' What put out such a Minister as this ! Get rid of the Minister, the public confidence its whom caused the funds to be so high ! Put the two facts together : the disowning of the pamphlet, and the turning out of Mr. V A NSITTART : put these two facts together, end it is impossible eve to be co/visaed that some divisor, had takes place in the Cabinet with regard to thifinsocial useaseresteitilsm. sued ; and that those measures aro to be such as to con tradict the professions and principles of Mr. Van n/TART. However, far are we from supposing that the Minis, tees have settled on any plan. IWe are very sure that they have not ; and we have not the smallest hesitation to sty that they know not what t 3 do with the concern which they have in hand, We shall find thew, when.the Parliament has met, waiting to take their cue from what will be told them by the landlords. Their easels fall of difficulties. Without a Reform of the Parliament, a reduction of the interest of the debt is impossible; but it is very possible to strip the Ministers of the Sinking Fund, to pare down their establishments ; to leave thou with hardly any thing to snpport themselves with; and this we think very likely to be done. We are not yet come to that state which will force Reform upon those who have the power to grant it ; but we are very fast approaching towards that state ; and we expect to see the thing done; really accomplished before about two years front this 'lay. The security of the people is this, that, nnless the House of Commons be Reformed, th e landlords must lose their estates! STOCK EXCHANGE, AT HALE PAST TWELVE o'CLoca.— &sera! Forp have arrived this morning from Paris, which continue to bring accounts of the fall of French funds. By these accounts the funds left off on Thursday at 79, 40, and in the course of this day they were done as low as 77, and Spanish 40, but a private letter in Town of Thursday evening, states them at 79, 45. The fall of time above funds has created in our market a very deep sensation, and this beirg coupled with the answers of time Spanish Uovernment to the demands of the Foreign Ambassadors for their pssaports,the shirm has beau very great.
