Miss MITFORD'S tragedy of Rienzi was brought out here for the first time last night, and received with a moderate degree of favour. It is not devoid of dramatic merit, even of a high character, but la bours under the disadvantage of a hero who has no counterpart in history. Miss MITFORD'.S Rienzi is any thing but the Rienzi of GIBBON. She has made him lachrymose, where he should be lofty and high minded—weak and repentant, where he should be decisive. GIBBON'S favourite epithet, as applied to him, is " inexorable;" this is in no respect charac teristic of Miss MITFORD'S hero. Again, at the banquet scene she makes him talk of " scaring the spectre thought," as if, instead of a patriot, he had been an assassin. We deprecate such begging of the question. In addition to this defect she has ' p made him a lame old man, plainly dr e ss e d, an d ex cept on one or two occasions, homely in his man ners and address. Now Rienzi was directly the reverse. He was ostentatious in apparel, lofty in his bearing (his favourite models in this respect being the stern unbending Romans in 'the earlier days of the Consulate), pro fuse of speech, fond of metaphor, and strongly spiced with a certain chivalrous romance, strength ened, no doubt, by his acquaintance with the immor tal PETRARCH. Moreover, Miss MITFORD has pre sented him with a daughter—perhaps this is a par donable license—and has consequently given a do mestic character to his sensibilities, of which GIB BON makes no mention. Bating these defects, which few perhaps will severely condemn, Miss NIITFORD has produced an effective but somewhat confused tragedy. Her three first acts are full of life and in cident, but the fourth and fifth lag heavily. Time drama is sacrificed to description,—too much is said and too little dope. The following is the outline of the plot : On the rising of the curtain, several plebeian citizens are discovered muttering their discontents near the ruins of a temple, and expressing their sorrow at the election of an Ursini to be the Senator. Rienzi appears in the back ground, pursuing his favourite lore, an inquiry into ancient inscriptions; and observing the ruffled tempers, he agi tates them still further, in the outset by tauntingly de scribing the triumphant profligacy and cruelty of the Nobles, and ultimately by a passionate appeal to their man hood, their love of their homes and liberty. At this mo ment the newly-elected Governor passes by in procession, and one of the citizens refusing to join in the servile shouts of the populace, he is severely struck by the last of the guards, which so excites Rienzi that he snatches the weapon from the soldier and instantly destroys him. He again ap peals to the remaining citizens, who consent to meet him at midnight, to devise means for the restoration of Rome to liberty. Rienzi repairs to his house to complete his preparations. There he learns that the soldiers in the citadel are in his interest; and discovers that his daughter is in love with Angelo, the heir of the house of Colonna, and that her love is returned. He does not, however, let his Claudia know that her secret is in his pos session ; but, after an allusion to the visit of a stranger, he gazes on her with intense affection, as if meditating on his own approaching exaltation, and the security his power will derive from the union of his daughter with the heir of Colonna. He then visits the palace of the Colonna to prevent suspi cion, and the midnight meeting afterwards takes place. Angelo becomes one of the advocates for the restoration of the " good estate," the soldiers are faithful to their pledge, and Rienzi being called upon to assume supreche power, he adopts the title of Tribune, and marches forth in triumph. This concludes the first act, and in the second Rienzi ap pears surrounded by splendour. An Ursini has been guilty of plundering a wrecked vessel ; he is tried and condemned, and all the entreaties of the Colonna, the Savelli, and Frangipani, for pardon, prove futile. The Tribune rejects them with indignation, and on Martin Ur sini pleading in the same cause, Rienzi reminds him that his own brother had been murdered by a menial of the Ursini, and that all satisfaction had been refused. The nuptials of Angelo and Claudia are then celebrated; and the irritated nobles prepare a conspiracy for the over throw of their new master, but he detects it, thwarts their designs, pardons and despises them, and imposes on them a solemn oath not to violate any of the laws or to undertake any scheme whatever against the prosperity of the "good estate." In the subsequent acts, Rienzi gives the Nobles fresh cause to regret their less of power ; and for getting himself entirely the conduct and bearing of an ancient Tribune, he professes to summon the Pope and all the other Princes of the empire, and to challenge their submission to his authority. Thus goaded, the Colonna and the Ursini forget their inveterate rivalry, and unite with the Savelli and others in a new attempt to destroy Rienzi. Angelo, too, "even on his bridal night," finding that his father is sunk into the r assal of the Tribune, remembers the ancient honour of his family, falls off frau% his new alliance, and resigns love in the search of glory. The attack is made, but the popu lace assemble at the sound of the great bell, and protect the ruler of the " good estate." Old Colonna and Ursini all, anti Angelo and other nobles are made prisoners. Rienzi struggles hard and long to regain the confidence and friendship of Angelo, but in vain, and at length con demns him with the other patrician prisoners to death. But no sooner is the fatal decree about to be put into exe cution, than Claudia rushes into the presence of her father, and implores the pardon oilier husband. Nature trimnplis, but too late, for scarcely is the signal for his .deliverance given to a messenger than his knell is heard. Claudia is borne off insensible, and the agonies of Rienzi are in creased by his learning that his severity has created a re action in the mind of the populace, and that, struck with remorse at the sufferings of the Nobles, they have de serted him, and demand his life. Still, however, his firm ness is unshaken, and wearing the insignia of his office, he throws wide open the gates of the citadel, and singly confronts his new enemies. He resigns all power ; but the people, urged by the Lady Colonna, assassinate him just as his (laughter, who having heard of his danger, has encircled him in her arms. Mr. YOUNG'S Rienzi was a masterpiece of spi rited acting. The sarcasm of the character, though scarcely refined enough, lost nothing of its energy in his hands ; and the few, the very few ap peals put into his mouth, t• the past glories of Rome, were delivered with fire and dignity. But his bearing was not sufficiently chivalrous, and he allowed himself, in this respect, to be played down by COOPER, whose manner was highly imposing.— He was also dressed too old for the part : certainly for the early triumphs of Rienzi, between whose first and second fall a period of nearly eight years (of which we hear nothing) elapsed. His most effective point was his allusion to his brother's death, when requested to pardon some obnoxious nobleman ; it brought down an electric shout from the whole house. , 1 The Angelo Colonna of Mr. COOPER was everywhere characterized by good sense and discrimination. It is, however, an inconsistent part, worthy only of melo drame. Of Miss PHILLIPS, as Claudia, the Tribune's daughter, what can we say worthy to express our sense of her exalted merits ? In a word, then, she evinces more promise than any actress, not even excepting Miss F. H. Kelly, of the day. Her figure is slim, but exquisitely symmetrical, rather above the middle height; her voice is the very spirit of melody—so soft—so mellow—so equably and fully-toned, it is quite a treat to hear it; her face beautiful, a tender pensive softness lit up with a sort of half smile, that redeems it from the charge.of insipidity, being its predominant expression; and her action varied and animated, though here and there perhaps a little too abrupt. Her performance last night went a considerable way to secure the suffrages of the audience in behalf of the tragedy; and her exquisite delivery bf one passage in particular, where in a vein of pretty girlish melan choly, she regrets the flowers and the scenery, and the simple pleasures of her obscure childhood, struck home to the heart, and elicited the most enthusiastic applause.of the evening. Alrs.Fawcer, as the mother o f Angelo Colonna, had little to do, but that little she did impressively. Her description (to sonic scoffing nobles) of Rienzi, " when he has smiled I've shuddered," was finely conceived, and proves Miss MITFORD'S acquaintance with the minute shrewdness of a woman's knowledge of character. With respect to the language of the play, it is ornamented, yet not redundant, familiar, but poetic; its greatest charm being its perfect uniform equality. On one or two occasions an attempt at terseness is made, in imita tion of our Elizabethan Dramatists, w h om Mk s MITFORD evidently idolizes. Taken as a whole, the drama does credit to a female pen, but it is not pre cisely the sort of subject to which a female is likely to do justice. The character:of Fienzi can only be can vassed by a mangy; his strange inequalities of mind, his alternate mixture of courage and cowardice, of tem perance and dissipation, of eloquence and buffoonery, of the greatest acuteness with the most singular want of tact ; are and must, from their very nature, be nearly, if not quite, incomprehensible to a Woman, even though that woman is Miss MITFORD. ADELPHI. A new piece, entitled The May Queen, or Samp son the Sergeant, was brought out last night at this enterprising little Theatre. The piece was very succesSful, and deservedly so. HOP PLANTATION OF SUSSEX. We received this morning the following letter from a resident in the middle of SusseX, dated Oct. 9, 1828, on the state of the. Hop plantation in that county : TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR—I beg leave to request the favour of you to insert this as a correction to an erroneous statement which ap peared a few days since in several Papers in the shape of a letter, dated Rve, relative to the hop plantations of Sussex, making a palpable false statement of the quantity of hops grown this year, calculated to make a wrong impression on the public. The motive for such a statement is obvious enough to those acquainted with the trade, and that it was made by some little dealer or dabbling speculator. Al though the planters have reason to suspect there is a union of merchants to lower the price of hops, already mu c h under what will remunerate the grower, yet, notwith standing the endeavours (that are suspected) of the trade in general to impress a belief of an abundant crop, and to an ticipate its consequences, I am well assured that no respect able merchant (and I have the pleasure of being acquainted with many such in the hop trade) would condescend to countenance, much less to be the author of such dishonour able and false statements as relate to Sussex, which, instead of producing a greater quantity than last year, will be one-fourth less : so far, I believe, the matter is already decided. The upper part of the plantation is now down, and so far weighed off as to leave no doubt of a great defi ciency compared with last year; in some grounds not half so many—of the principal growers about two-thirds—and but few more than three-fourths; though there are in stances of small gardens of two, three, four, or five acres. which may produce nearly or quite a ton an acre, and I know of one which will do more ; yet it is probable there are not a dozen such cases in the whole county, and on a scale so small as to be of little consequence in the aggregate amount of duty. My statement is meant to be confined to Sussex, but it would also well apply to the adjoining part of the county of Kent. Middle Kent will do more, I am told, but nothing equal, I believe, to what has been talked of.—l am, Sir your obedient servant, * UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

Owing to the Epsom Races the attendance yesterday was thin, and the betting dull. Some offers were made on the horses mentioned in our report on Monday's betting, but they were either too indefinite, or too near the prices of that day, to require any quotation of odds. We must, therefore, refer to our last report for the present prices. The Derby and Oaks betting is expected to be very mate rially affected by the running at Newmarket next week, as several of the favourites are engaged in the Two-yr-old Stakes to be decided there.

The October Meeting, or rather its renewal, commenced yesterday under the rnost,flattering auspices, and with the most complete s uccess. The Sportin g W or ld are i n d e b te d Uto Mr. 'sherly for this addition to the metropolitan races, and to him also are owing the liberal support afforded by the breeders of race horses, and the consequent excellence of the sport. Of the general arrangements of yesterdiy's business we cannot speak too highly. There was the same attention to the strict keeping of the course, aind a still greater precision in other important respect s , th a t distin guished Mr. Maberly's stewardship at th e l as t meet i ng; no time was lost between the different stak es , an d t h e spec tators were gratified with aqulck succes s i on o f races, from one till five o'clock. Nothing can more strongly demon strate the fairness and good judgment displayed in the weighing of the horses, than the single fact that out of the 31 entries for the five stakes decided, only one horse did not come to the post. The manner in which they ran was as follows : The Metropolitan Stakes of 10 soya, each, with 50 added from the Race Fund, for horses of all ages, (2-yr-olds excepted). The Derby Course. The winner to be sold with his engagements for 200 sovs. Mr. Scaith's Vulcan, 4 yrs Lord Mountcharles's Coronet, 3 yrs 2 Mr: Haird's Profile, 5 yrs 0 Mr. J. Day's Busk, 4 yrs 0 Sir L. Glynn's Upae, 5 yrs .. General Grosvenor's John de Bart, 3 yrs Mr. Bromley's by Skim, 3 yrs 0 Mr. De Burgh's Sunshine, aged . Mr. Dickenson's Prima Donna, 3 yrs Mr. Bacon's Bugle, 3 yrs 0 Mr. Coleman's Whisk, 3 yrs pd These Stakes afforded two excellent races from an unto ward circumstance. Shortly after one o'clock, the eleven horses above stated came to the post, and a start immedi ately took place, five or six of them coming away in a good racing style, and making a very fine race, Busk being first, and Coronet second, by a-head ; however before the race was finished, it was evident that there had been something wrong in the start, for many of the horses came in a long way behind. It was stated that the start had been a false one; which, on investigation by Mr. Maherly, proving to be the case, he ordered all the horses back immediately, and the actual start took place without any delay, and with no other difference than that Whisk was drawn, and Pavis put upon John de Bart. In the second race Profile made strong running, followed by Coronet, Vulcan, and Busk ; the others keeping in tolerable order till near the distance, when they were evidently beat, nor did Busk hold it much longer. Vulcan and Coronet then went a-head, Profile still being in good place; these three made a very fine race home, Vulcan winning by a head with great difficulty, for, we are satisfied, he could not have run many yards further. Profile was not placed, but ran a good third, and Busk fourth. The winner, rode by Conolly ; Coronet, by * Oliver (who rode exceedingly well); Profile, by J. Day ; Busk, by Chapple ; Sunshine, by Dockery ; Upas, by Cal loway ; and the others by boys. A Match for 100 cove. each, h. ft. One mile.

Three quarters of a mile. The winner to be sold with his engagements for 200 sore. Mr. Ramsbottom's sister to Noureddin, 3 yrs 1 Mr. Coleman's Whisk, 3 yrs 2 Mr. Dickenson's b. 1. by Waverly, 2 yrs Mr. Maberly's br. f. by Nicole, 2 yrs 0 Mr. Bacon's Eugene, 2 yrs Sister to Noureddin made the running as hard as she could split, with Whisk next her, and Mr. Maberly's at her heels. At the turn Whisk went up, and rau her an 'tagonist head and bead to the finish, being beat only in the last stride or two by a head. The race was beautifully run throughout. The winner was rode by John Day ; Whisk by Pavis ; and Mr. Maberly's by Oliver; and the other two by lads. The Burgundy Stakes of 5 soya, each, with 25 added from the'Fund. Heats, two miles. Ur. L. Charlton's Constantine, 4 yrs 1 1 Mr. Bacon's Dandelion, 4 yrs 2 2 Mr. Coleman's Sally in the Valley, 3 yrs 0 0 Mr. B. Bond's Mirage, 5 yrs 0 0 Sir L.

Upas gave way some distance from home, and left the contest to the other two, who finished it in style, Constantine winning by a neck only. In the second heat, he did as he pleased, allowing Dandelion to make the running to the distance, when he came out, and won in a canter, by several lengths; rode by Chapple; Dandelion, by Conolly ; Upas, by Calloway; Icarus, by Snap; Mirage, by Macdonald ; Charnwood, by Dockery; Bhurtpore, by J. Day; Whisk, by Pavia; and Sally, by a lad. The Wellington Stakes, a Free Handicap of 25 soya. each, 10 ft. with 25 addA from the Race Fund. Two miles. Mr. Sadler's Tears, 5 yrs 1 Mr. Westenra's Conrad, 4 yrs Mr. Day's Maldouia, 5 yrs Mr. Wyndhana's Colleger, 5 yrs. 0 Lord Alountcharles's Constance, 4 yrs Mr. Clark's Scipio, 3 yrs. Maldonia made the running, followed by Tears and Con rad, till near the distance, where she was beat off ; the other two made a fine race home, Tears winning by half a length. Scipio belted at going off. After the race was over, there was some altercation about the start, which some alleged to be false, but which proved to have been perfectly correct. The winner was rode by Chapple; Con rad, by Conolly ; Maldonia, by Pavis ; Colleger, by J. Day; Constance, by Oliver ; and Scipio by a lad. A Match 50 soya. h. ft. Mile and a half. Mr. L. Charlton's Constantine, Bst. rec. ft. from Mr. Bacon's Dandelion, Bst. 121 b. There was very little betting on any of the races, and that too indefinite to quote. The company was highly respectable, and much more numerous than we had expected : the weather was fine, the turf in fine condition, and the sport admirable. Se veral interesting races are fixed for to-day. RICHMOND RACES. TUESDAY, OCT. 7.—The Members' Plate of 50 sovs.— Heats, two miles. M e .

Is Hamoaze—Britannia, Windsor Castle, Dis patch, Jaseur, Trinculo, Leveret, Dove, Sphynx, and Speedy. At the Island—Bramble and Nightingale. Sound—Royalist. Commissioner Ross, from Malta Dock-yard, will succeed the late Sir George Grey, at Portsmouth. The Nimrod, 20, built of African oak, and about 550 tons burthen, has been commissioned at Dept ford by Commander S. Radford. Captain Walpole has commissioned the Ranger, 28, fitting out for the West Indies. Lieutenant E. Collier, late of the Windsor Castle, is appointed to the Ranger. Second Lieut. Shepheard (son of Major Shep heard, Barrack Master of this Division) and I'9 men of the Royal Marines, with a proportion of non commissioned officers, embarked on board the Wind sor Castle on Saturday. Lieuts. T. Archer, J. Garrett, E. J. Hopkins, and Jos. Marshall, Purser, are appointed to the Shan non; Mr. W. A. Bates, to be Surgeon of the Spar tiate ; Assistant-Surgeon Miller to the Ramilies ; Assistant-Surgeon G. A. M. Munro to the Corde lia ; Assistant-Surgeon Thompson to the Asia. Mr. W. James, of the Hobart, condemned at Portsmouth, is appointed to the Spey, at this port, coming forward for the packet service; it i. 4 sup posed the Variable will supply the place of the Dove. All was well on board the Britomart, off Lisbon, on the 28th It appears now, from good authority, that Rear- Admiral Sir Ed. Owen will proceed to the East Indies. All was well on board his Majesty's ship Hussar in Halifax harbour, on the 19th of August. She had just returned from cruising in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. During her former cruise in company with the Tyne and Acorn, the Hussar, though a dull sailer, had beaten both those ships, the Columbine being considered the best, particularly on a wind,and said to be a perfect beauty. It is reported at Hali fax, that when the Acorn and Contest parted from the Hussar, on their way from Bermuda to that port, though the wind was blowing a hard gale, it was not such as might be supposed to endanger any vessel, particularly one of the Acorn's description ; and it is concluded they must have started butt-ends, or have been taken aback under a press of sail.-- The Hussar fairly ran the Acorn out of sight, and the Tyne, hull-down, in ten hours, under single reefed topsails, and royals going free ; likewise hull down under double-reefed topsails, blowing strong, upon a wind. The Medina arrived at St. Jago, Cape de Verd, Aug. 13, and sailed the 14th for Sierra Leone. The Hussar, Ringdove, and Columbine, arrived at Hali fax from Bermuda, Sept. 8. The Hasty arrived at Mauritius from the Cape of Good Hope, June 3. RUSSIA AND FRANCE. (From the Dublin Evening Post of Tuesday.) We have already acknowledged the blockade of the Dardanelles by the Emperor of Russia, and not only munitions of war, such as saltpetre, gunpowder, muskets, sail-cloth, ropes, bombs, cannon, &c., will be prohibited from entering into Constantinople, but all kinds of provisions, including sugar and coffee, will be most carefully excluded. .The effect upon the population of that capital, in consequence of the Russian Emperor having revoked the waiver of his maritime right, and the ready com pliance of the British Government in acknowledging that right, need not be told. Constantinople, in the course of six months, should the Russian vessels be able to keep the sea in winter, will be reduced to the utmost extremity, and the effect cannot fail to be communicated to the operations of Sublimity in Thrace. In short, it will expedite the termination of the war. By the last accounts, however, we learn that the Porte has added another, and a powerful one to its enemies. It has declared war against France, so that the French King, it is probable, will send a squadron to blockade Smyrna. Will the British Government acknowledge this maritime right on the part of France ? We do not see how, in compliance with.the principle on which the Duke of Welling ton's Administration is conducted, his Grace can refuse his assent to the rights which may be claimed by France. Again, should France proceed another step, and take military possession either of Smyrna, or of some of the Greek Islands, which, as a belligerent, she would be fully warranted in doing, could Eng land interfere ? No doubt she will. She will write and negociate and send diplomatic notes, and receive dexterous replies; but will she tell her cannon to interfere ? We confess we think this exceedingly doubtful. If she do not interfere, however, the trade with Turkey for the present is at an end. We need not hint that the Mediterranean commerce is the very best and most productive which the British mer chants carry on with any part of Europe. At present the outcry of the Turkish merchants agoinst the Duke of Wellington is very extravagant. We doubt whether it is even surpassed by the de testation in which his Grace is held by the Bruns wickers of Ireland. Yet, after all, what would they have his Grace do ?—The only effectual way of stopping the war of France and Russia against our ancient Ally would be to go to war with these Powers. Nov, we ask, does any one man contemplate the possibility of this ? A war with France and Russia! Oh, no, Gentle men, it will not come to this. A war with France with Russia, with Wheat 120 shillings a quarter — with Gold rapidly leaving the country—with the American Tariff in your teeth—with Lancashire and Yorkshire on the point of suspending their looms—with Ireland, on the verge of an Orange in surrection, with the Poor Rates at 7,000,0001. And the National Debt, at virtually one thousand mil lions. No—we shall have no war with France and Russia. We should not be able to subsidize Austria. Three or four millions of sovereigns would be no trifle just at present. We should not be'able to take the carrying trade out of the hands of America, without exercising the right of search—and an attempt to exercise that right would add America to the number of our enemies. By going to war with France we might endanger the stability of King William's Throne in the Netherlands. The French might cross the Rhine once more. By going to war with Russia, the Baltic might be closed against us, and, what is more material, the King of Prussia might occupy the Kingdom of Hanover. s a i llesdetctoll'it By going to war with the United States, we should put the safety of Canada to the utmost ' hazard. The accounts received Yesterday from Quebec show clearly that the Canadians are anxious to become a component part of the great American ' Republic. Finally, by engaging in war at all, we should en danger Ireland. But what would be the dangers from within ? Bank Restriction certainly and immediately —a re ductionlnaela•slitandiize of the interest on the debt in due time— universal confusion —and financial anarchy. Go to war with France, Russia, and Atrierica with either of the three ! It is out of the question. We must set our house in order first securities ; and, first. In spite of t r l it e rs I h v i o c l k d e e r r s s and o f the e e E n s a t t a i b o l t i i Must emancipate Ireland, magnanimous! Church,d we un conditionally. We must come to an finally, the people must have enough eat. France, therefore, may go on, and so will Russia, without receiving let or hindrance from the King of Great Britain and Ireland, NtVhiethl4 SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS. At a crisis of such infinite delicacy as this, when the Government is feeble and the country feverish, it seems to us a most important object to uphold a right spirit in our countrymen, and to direct it rightly ; because, if we should ever for a moment give way, either to false theories of political action, or to feelings unworthy of a great people—such as have a tendency to impair oiir strength at home, at the same time that we are compelled by their adoption to acquiesce implicitly in the resolves of other Powers, where foreign interests are concerned—there is no force in the composition of the - present Government of Englandpublic to mind, but, withstand on n the c a on y , vicious t rary , a n ü bias nd e or understood the t ood inclination to take advantage of the most perni cious prejudice s by Which the baseSt factious of the most corrupt communities could he in fluenced—namely, those which would lead to the assumption of unjust authority over their fellow-citizens, and to the abandonment of that which is just and wholesom e in relation to fo reign states. The two maxims which the exist ing crisis makes it necessary to impress upon the minds of Englishmen are, justice from fi,_ reigners ; and, that we may demand it•with con fidence, justice to each other. If the people of England, as we have already hinted, suffer them selves to be seduced by hots blooded fanatics into a denial of justice to their own brethren, they will be likewise driven into the arms of those sophists who would deter them from " inter meddling," as it is called, with the polky of other nations. That this repugnance to inter meddling is a foolish disposition, we are pre pared to show. If England had nothing to fear but the landing of an enemy upon her own soil, and no property to defend but her agricultural produce, it is probable that by enrolling a militia on the . principles of that of Switzer land, and letting the world take its course, she might remain for half a century unmolested. We need not speculate upon mere dreams. England, whether wisely or not, has made numberless foreign conquests ;—whether happily or not, she has launched her commerce upon everyssea, and moored it to every shore upon the earth's surface ; whether for her security and tranquillity we say not, but there is no political occurrence in either hemisphere of a nature to aff'eet the spirit of any Government, or the con dition of any known people, in which Great Britain, by virtue of that same commercial and colonial existence which contains a portion of the life-blood of her own body, has not a direct and substantial interest, - sufficient, not merely to justify, but to require a positive interference for the " public, good" of the empire. The cry in favour of indifference to the affairs of other countries—to their forms of government—their changes of dynasty—their wars—their treaties— their international transactions, is, in the extent to which some men carry it, altogether indefen sible and absurd. The scheme of being sees, and " keeping to ourselves and our own islands," would be an exceedingly plausible scheme, if we had no rights .or interests beyond the precincts of these islands ; and if, moreover—which is well worth considering—other States would leave us to enjoy our isolated system undis tuibed. But every colony of England is Great Britain—every English merchantman is Great Britain : we cannot look on tamely if we would —we cannot sleep on in quiet ; for if our neigh bours did not wake us by mere noise, they soon would try what pinching and kicking might ac complish. The debts incurred by our succes sive wars are alleged as arguments against our interference with foreigners. The debts may be one consequence, and an evil consequence, of the warlike promptitude of England ; and so far as those debts were - aggravated by misma nagement, whether imbecile or corrupt, we can say nothing for them. But how many of these wars since the time of the revolution were unwise ? The war of the succession was undertaken on the most solid grounds of policy, and its object failed from no cause whatever but the baseness of an Administration of Tory traitors. The war of 1756 was to pre serve a Protestant Ally in Europe from destruc tion, and the British colonies in America from conquest ; they are both sound objects, and we succeeded in both. The war of 1776 was a civil war, for the defeat of justice, and provi dentially justice triumphed ; but the portion of debt incurred through that contest was not an effect of the system of interference so much complained of withfiffeign states. The war of 1793, this journal has always maintained, was forced upon Great Britain by the calculated hos tility of BrisSot and his colleagues. Why it price t is t : e is “ s s eLer; was continued to the overthrow of Buonaparte, Had we need not explain : it was a death struggle,- l inestimable—it was slay .or be slain,—and we destroyed him who ourbsought e independenceot ridestruction. purchased asa nation. was policy been ofanyo e f e o preferred etiu three egr b e y a England, t foreign o w ar i s i occasion a there.sio ii was a fourth of less moment) of the 18th cen tury, she might have had less debt, though of that we are not certain ; but she would have had less industry, less wealth, civilization, knowledge, and of whatever constitutes the greatness of a nation also. Having achieved this greatness, the question comes, can she " have any safety in littleness ?" Assuredly not. There are two who look to no thing parties onb beyond o n state policy ; the other, • feels that eff orts ought to be made, and risk u incurred, when ade d this passivesubject e x :4twho one, n e as the end of a ll may be anticipated. Or t h e latter class was Mr. Canning ; of the f ormer class, for the first t ime in their Nees, are t o be found men who se onl y war cr y is , " Down with Mr. Canning; his p olic y s cares us, his memory. blasts t t e s e value :le i let us sn sacrificethe pre a s i e l preservation of public p ro _ s pub petty and honour c objects, an d ac t ill defiance of all his prin c ipl es ; and then chases the result of such sacrific e and desertion upon hitn." We turn the attention of ourreaders to two letters from correspondents Tunes, which in this day's which concu r in the one design of con t ras ti ng the conduct of' Mr. Canning with th a t o f his actual s successors.

So Mr. Canning protected Greece, because freedom every where is a " British inte rest," and security to commerce a " British in terest," and because it was a British and an I
