SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. To whom to the Opposition journals imagine they are addressing themselves in their daily tirades against the foreign policy of his Majesty's Government ? Do they suppose that the public mind is so fle%ible and inconsistent as to bend in every and the most Oppo site direction at the capricious bidding of such pliant politicians ? Or do they think that the common sense of the country can tolerate, much less encourage, these illiberal attacks, as contrary to truth as they arc inconsistent with themselves ? Look at the most recent example. Look at the Standard and the Post of yes terday. Knowing the character of the journal as we do, we may venture, in anticipation, to ask you to l o ok at the Times of to-day. What has been the li „deviating, cry hitherto raised against the course adopteU by Lord Palmerston in the struggle which is desolating, Spain ? That he had abandoned an ally to whom he was bound by the dictates of justice, of humanity', good policy, by the of ex press terms of a treaty, to afford all the assist ance in his power ? No ; this was not the accusation. But week after week, and day after day, he was taunted, and arraigned, and maligned, in a tone and spirit that we solemnly protest has often made us blush for the profession in which we are engaged, not because the co-operation of Great Britain had aided the Queen, but because, in their own strong phrase, it had fallen like a curse upon her cause. Lord Palmerston was charged with having destroyed at once the hopes of our ally and the interests of his own country in Spain. Every act of treachery or inactivity on the part of the Queen's generals, every success attending the maraud ing expeditions of the Pretender's military chiefs, even, outbreak of popular feeling from Bayonne to Barcelona—all were laid to the account of " British intervention." Mark, we -pray you, the consistency with which this attack is followed up. The n-rms of the Queen have been crowned with most important ; we should hope decisive, success ; the object to which the most persevering and vigorous efforts of the faction have been directed, upon the success of which they may be said to have perilled their hopes, has been defeated, signally defeated—when lo ! the loud and bitter complaint of the Opposition journals is, that this has been the effect of Lord Palmer ston's policy. Truly, ye are honest and consistent ad versaries ! The prospect is somewhat gloomy to-day, and the fact of its being so is the ground of your ac cusation against the Government; it changes, however, to-morrow, and out of that very change you contrive to forge a new weapon for attack. It seems the Morning Chronicle " confesses" that the co-operation of his Majesty's Government contributed to the relief of Bil boa. " Confess it," do we ? Why, we proclaim it over and over, with pride and with gratification. Let not these minions of a desperate faction suppose that the King's Government would descend to fall back upon any of those paltry subterfuges with which they themselves are so familiar. The extent of British co operation upon this occasion it is not sought either to deny or to diminish. England did that—and no more —which she was bound by treaty to do. Had she even gone farther, we do not hesitate to declare our own deep conviction that she would have been fully jus tified both by the object and the result. We shall be furnished, we dare say, with another illustra tion of the consistency of the Opposition journals in reply to this opinion. What, let us ask, is the mean ing of those elaborate eulogiurns with which the speech of Louis Philippe is from day to day encumbered ? That " wise and sagacious" Monarch did not hesitate to declare he had fulfilled the Quadruple Treaty in " the spirit" in which it was dictated. It is for those who believe and applaud this declaration to turn upon Lord Palmerston for having fulfilled it, in this in stance, barely to the letter. Away, then, with the hypocritical cant which, regardless of all consistency, finds ground of virulent accusation equally in the sup posed reverses of yesterday and the unquestioned suc cesses of to-day. Well, but even if the cause of con stitutional government should triumph, it will be at the expense of British interests and British influence. And we are told to look at Portugal as an example. We have looked at Portugal, and apprehend we have fixed the public gaze upon it to some good effect. We have shown the condition of British interests and British influence during the domination of the kindred spirits of absolutism in Lisbon and Toryism in London. We have seen Lord Aber deen looking on with the most stoical composure at the unavenged murder of British subjects, the ruin of British property, the unredressed seizure of British ships, even to his Majesty's packet ; and in vain have we asked for a single fact that could be alleged in ac cusation against Lord Palmerston. No, not even the shadow of a charge could be made out. "It is evi dent to the world," says Lord Aberdeen's Consul in one of his dispatches—" it is evident to time world, that wherever there are British subjects in Portugal the arm of persecution weighs heavily over them with im punity.' And:again, as if at a loss to what to attribute the terrible extent of this sanguinary warfare against our people, the same gentleman ascribes it to " a rooted hatred against every thing Protestant and Bri tish !" And this is the country in which British in terests and influence have declined under the Adminis tration of Lord Palmerston ! We spoke of the " con sistency" of the Opposition journals a few moments since, and in taking leave of this part of the subject we cannot forbear quoting one other felicitous illustration. It may possibly be in the recollection of our readers, that in the clamour raised against the presence of our fleet in the Tagus in November, our Contempo rary, the Morning Post, was amongt the loudest of the brawlers. We cannot afford to go through the se ries of charges which our industrious Contemporary brought against the Government on this occasion ; but even had they been trore serious arid more mischievous the Post deserves all the credit of having made an ample antende. In the fifth column - of a formidably long article in its Number of Monday, we find it stated that we maintained a naval force in time Tagus, for—what think you reader?—" For no other appa rent purpose than that of preventing the Portuguese from murdering the young Queen !" How will our Contemporary reconcile this to all the other apparent —so apparent as to be obvious to the most stupid Ga lego in the streets of Lisbon—reasons ascribed fcr the presence of our fleet in the Tagus ? Let it be thought that, by referring to Portugal, we wish to evade any, the most minute, count of the indictmen so laboriously framed against the foreign policy of our Government. This is not our habit, and it never shall be. Nor will we imitate the bad example that is set us, by treating a question of the most vital im portance in the same tone of scandalous objurgation in which we are ourselves too often assailed. We fight with other weapons—and—for the unfounded declamations of our opponents, we throw back facts which cannot be questioned, and whic h - I WS, know the public will rightly and fully a t Where is the evidence that Bririst• r,r ...lion is that thypreciate. lected—that British iy ,o 1.. .. &Any co 'the publiciaithfulhests are neg scientiously.

Even in the track of that political storm that has swept over, and still desolates that unhappy land, making a wreck of its_ oldest and most deeply-rooted institutions, show us the abolition of uric British privilege, the confisca tion of one pound's worth of British property, and, above ad, the sacrifice of a single British life. On the contrary, we know the feeling of heartfelt gratitude `with which British subjects of all classes, in every town of every province in Spain, acknowledge the watchful and efficient guardianship of their Govern inent. Were we so disposed, we might crowd our columns with conclusive evidence of the existence of this feeling. From Valencia, from Alicant, from Carthagena, from Malaga—in fact, from every town in which a British community exists, have we abun dant evidence to support us. We shall content our selves with quoting the following address of the mer chants of Cadiz to Mr. Villiers : " Cadiz, Oct. 18,1836. " Sir,—We, the undersigned British merchants resident in this city and neighbourhood, have, on numerous occasions since your appointment as Minister to the Court of Madrid, experienced the good effects of that zeal and ability with 'which you have advocated the rights of British subjects when exposed to injurious and unjust exactions. " In no instance have we felt more decidedly the benefit of your able exertions than on a very recent occasion, when a demand under the denomination of a' Forced Loan' was about to he made upon us by order of the Spanish Go vernment. . it But the inequality in counties, great it 's, bears but a slight proportion to that of sena..-ate An exaction so injurious (from its amount) in a pecu n:ary point of view—so unjust in its principle, as regards foreigners, in involving them in the dubious results of civil strife—and so prejudicial in its effects, es a precedent, has impressed us with serious anxiety and distress.
