CHRONICLE.--The Times throughout 1833, and down to the autumn of 1834, was the advocate of popular municipal institutious ; but, having changed sides, that consistent journal now defends every rotten establishment, and justifies (very Tory who profits by " things as they are." The Bill of the Attorney. General, "to facilitate the administration of Criminal Justice in certain boroughs in England," serves as a text for an article in the Times of yesterday (which tells us that "its attention has been directed to some recent proceedings, both in and out of Parliament"), in which it is hardly possible to crowd in the same space an equal number of misrepresenta tions. We hardly need to direct the public attention to the contest which has long subsisted in the unincorpo rated English boroughs for obtaining popular local govern ment as a substitute for courts feet and baron, and local ma gistrates, in the place of nominees of the county lieuten ancy. The eager desire far self-government was of course greatly stimulated by the reform, in 1835, of the old cor porations of the ancient boroughs: On the Municipal Bill of that year, in which authority was given to the Crown to incorporate the new communities not enjoying charters, becoming the law of the land, the populous towns of Manchester, Birmingham, Devonport, and Bolton, im mediately petitioned the Privy Council for charters. Such instruments of local government gave those ill-governed . towns the benefit of popular Magistrates; Courts of Quarter Sessions, with quick periodical trial of criminals; an efficient police for the security of life and property ; separate Coroners, and all the advantages of self-govern ment enjoyed even in Prussia and other continental countries, to the great benefis of the people. The ac cession of power to the Liberal party in the above boroughs, consequent on the grant of charters, and the loss of income by the Tories who worked most advantageously for themselves the old superseded system, gave rise, as a matter of course, to the most viru lent Tory opposition. The charters were contested in the court; of law, and every possible opposition was given to their proper working. After three years of torturing litigation, a majority of the Judges, as we recently reported, decided in favour of the validity of the Manchester charter. An appeal is now pending in the House of Lords which may delay the final decision of the question for a year or eighteen months. In the mean while, the administration of justice is grievously disturbed by these vexaoious and interminable proceedings. The grants of Quarter Sessions are also disputed, on the legal point of their being avoided far want of local gaols. The natural consequence has been, enormous expenses of law, uncertainty of jurisdiction, collisions between the two classes of the Magistracy, borough and county, throwing all rates into arrear and abeyance, while the contracts between the counties and boroughs in respect of custody of criminals are the subject of litigation in Westminster Hall, the Ministers of Justice are unpaid, and a spirit of party most injurious to the towns, has heen engendered, and is daily on the in crease. We had hoped that the recent decision of the Judges would have terminated this deplorable and destruc tive state of matters; but the Times, in the name of the " Conservatives," abets its continuance in a gross attack cn the Attorney- General as " Jack Rapid," and the ob ject of his Criminal Justice Bill is crattily passed over. The Bill does not confirm the Charters, but simply enables the new boroughs to build gaols, or contract with the county Magistrates for custody of prisoners in county gaols. Since theaccond reading of theßill, the active opponents of the Charter in Manchester, aware of the results which must follow the recent decision, and following the example set by the ex-town-clerks in 1835, who compromised the Municipal Reform Act for compensations, have expressed their willing ness to settle the entire question by supporting the At torney-General's Bill, on the condition of the insertion of clauses for compensati-in to themselves for alleged loss of fees of office. Such additional clauses are noticed as amendments," to he introduced by Mr. Wilson Patten, for Manchester, and by Sir Charles Douglas and others for Birmingham ; and for this purchase money it appears that the few losers by the incorporation of Manchester and Birmingham would acquiesce in the Attorney-General's Bill, confirm the charters, and abandon all further litiga t on But the Tories of the Borough of Bolton step in and refuse the accommodation, declaring that they will for no price consent to the incorporation of Bolton. The Times, on their authority, would have it believed that the sop of compensations and payment of costs of all parties is the purport of the Bill, and that this is an object aimed at by the Liberals. Such is not the fact. The Bill, so far as it has passed through Committee, contains not a word on the subject ; and the Reformers in all the towns have rased, ' and will raise, sufficient funds by voluntav subscriptions to fight their opponents. Moreover, we see by the Liberal provincial press a determination to resist compensations. The Manchester Guardian of Saturday contains a report of a meeting of the Town Council of that borough, at which a resolution was unanimously passed against the con ce; ston. The Birmingham Journal, recording the same general feeling in Birmingham, says:_ , : We are not disposed to go quite so tar; we are not unwilling to build a golden bridge fer a il)ing enemy ; but we must first see his back." Such are the real facts respecting the Bill of the Attorney-General, and the representations of the Times are utterly unfounded. We shall on a future occasion state the circumstances re lating to the charter of Bolton, which are equally misre presented. In the meanwhile, we will only observe that it is a disgrace to the Legislatcre of the country that such a state of local government as we have described should be suffered to exist. We cannot, however, believe that Par liament will sanction the esils of its longer continuance. The legal question of the charters is virtually settled in favour of their validity. Are the " forty pieces of silver" charged for the Municipal Reform Acr again to be de manded and exacted in the Lords? Will S:r Robert Peel, who distinctly approved of the Municipal Bill of 1835, step in and put an end to this scandalous contest ? TIM E doubt the wisdom of the " hushing.up" plan. We believ e th a t those who, through fear of dis couraging friends and encouraging fees—of " revealing the nakedness of the land "—and on like pleas suppress the voice of genuine and honest dissatisfaction, arc the worst hinderers o f t h e cause t h ey w i s h t o p r omote. I n narrating the following anecdote we shall distinctly sepa rate ourselves from this class. A few days since, a gen tleman of notorious and uncompromising principle, resi dent in one of the great metropolitan districts, was applied to, in due course, for his subscription to the Conservative Association of which he was a member. His answer was a firm and prompt denial—" I shall subscribe no longer." The agent of the Association respectfully requested to be permitaed to report his reasons for withdrawal. " My reasons are, that you have done, and are doing, no • good." An explanation was offered. The clearest proofs were tendered of the efficiency of the Association. A eon. tiaual progress had been made in diminishing the Radical strength, and in augmenting the, Conservative forces ; and it was clear, to all human modes of calculation, that the very next election must entirely establish the Conservative ascendancy in that locality. " I grant all this," was the reply. " I admit that you have worked perseveringly and well ; and that you have purged the register ; and that it is very probable that the next opportunity will entirely change the representation of this district. But, when all this is done, I still ask what good you will have done? You gain a Conservative majority in Parlia meat—ecu turn out the Ministry. That is, you get rid of Ore set cf scoundrels, and have another set in their room ?" We aver, that this conversation took place v. , ry recently ; and that the malcontent was a highly respectable, swot thy, and well principled man, resident in this metropolis. Now, we are not going to defend his mode of reason- I ing. To him, personalty, and to the very many persons who may feel half-disposed 0 agree with him, we should say—" Do not disfranchise yourselves, do not commit po litical suicide, merely because you do not approve. tLe course taken by certain political leaders at a given mo ment of time. You have clear and strong opinions of your own. Stand prepared to assert them. Claim and maintain your own franchise. Who knoWs how soon the opportunity may arrive, which may call forth all your energies in maintenance of your own principles ? At all events, what but ruin can arise from a wilful and deliheiate cession of all political power ,to those into whose hands the Government itself must fall, should your example be a gencrally followed ? " But, while we thus entirely admit the irrational charac ter of this sort of despair, we would ask, on the other hand, whether the Conservative leaders ought not to be made aware of, and ought not seriously to lay to heart, the appearance and growth of this sort of feeling. The persons among whom it is spreading are firm and resolute Conservatives; they have been warm and zealous Conser vatives also ; but disgust and despair are t eking place of ardent expectation. Is it not desirable to understand thoroughly to what this serious charge is owing ? The causes are not at all inscrutable. Part of i?, the ground work of the whole, may be traced to ‘• hope long deferred." More, much more, to the numberless reprieves, quite unin telligible to folks " out of doors," which the Conservative leaders in Parliament have given, within the last two or three years, to the rei , erables on the Treasury benches. But the crowning fault, that which turns wonder into wrath And dissatisfaction into disgust—is, un questionably, the tolerance, and more than tolerance, shown by the Conservatives in Parliament to the new Poor-law. W., are welt aware that this frank revelation of that state of zbings which mere party politicians would counsel us to 1... cp out of sight, will be eagerly snatched at by the Downing-street journalists, who well knew thst their masters have lived for these three years past, and are now living, not upon their own strength, upon their own merits, but upon the weaknesses, the "liberal concessions," and the avant of merits on the part of their opponents. Let them pounce upon the admission, as they doubtless will; and let them take with it the declaration which they cannot gainsay, that the moment a Conservative party in Parliament, whether consisting of the present or arty other, shall heartily and sincerely throw itself upon the people, making the faith and the spirit of Christianity its rule, that instant the swarm of unclean things which now prolesges to call itselr a Government vanishes away, like hats and birds of night before the rising sun. The fact, however, with which we began this article is a serious one, and merits grave consideration. What must the state of things Le, when the Conservatives turn in disgust from their own leaders in one place, and when Conservatives and Chartists are found in amicable compact in another ? Let no man be so foolish as to call this “ a desertion cf priineiphs." It is the contrary—it is the highest tribute to principle. The man who breaks up all party ties, like the indivialual we have just described, in the metropolis, or the Chartists' who support Mr. Walter in Nottingham, does so in the fervency of a zeal for principles, compared with which such trifles as Whiggism and Toryism are mere childish dreams. The tie which binds man to his brother men, is older than the annals of England can re tch, and will endure when the names of Peel and Russell sisal be alike forgotten. MONEY MARKET and CITY NE WS. FROM run MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIM ES.—The prerninin on gold at Paris is 8 per mine,' which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 35, and the exchange at Paris on London at shcrt being 25 45, it fullows that gold is 0.40 per cent. dearer in London twin in PwiF. By advicas from Hamburgh the price of gold is 428 per murk, which, at the English Mint pric , ! of 31. 17s. 101 d. per mince for standard gold, gives an exchange at 13. 61, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at shr rt being 13. 7-1-, it follows that gold is 0.34 per cent. dearer in Lon don than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 1061 per cent., and the par of exchange between Eng land .And America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 2.83 per cent. against England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bilk at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. Business in the English Stocks to-day was very limited, and in consequence of the disinclination to deal, the aspect of the markcq, notwithstanding there was no niatelial alteration in prices, is considered flatter. There was a call for Brighton shares in the errly part of the Og.y, and the discount upon them decreased to IA.; hut towar.ls the close of business some few sellers appeared, and the last quotation was 24. to 1y discount. Other de setiptiorrs were firm. The tate on Hamburgh was much the same as last post. CHRONICLE.—An abstract of the Bill for the relief of the Banks, which has passed both houses of the Pennsylvania Legislature, and which was then before the Governor for his signature, is is received by the Baltimore, which vessel touched at Falmouth, iron. , New York, bound to Havre. Consider able doubts rested upon the question, as to whether or not he would sign it, and public opinion varied considerably. Sec. 1.

Gives the Bank power to issue small notes to the amount of fifteen per cent. on their capital stock, for five years. 3. Liabilities not to exceod double the amount of ca pital. 4.

Authorising the capital of the IL shed States Bank, if the shareholders desire it, to be reduce 11 to fourteen mil lions, and the bank to be released from r ,art .of the bonus. The author, whose work on the conn.merc,e of British India we quoted yesterday, observes, th at since the East India trade'was thrown open, in 1830, there has been a surpiising increase in the importations from thence of indigo, jute (coarse hemp), hides, raw silk, fl.ix seed, wheat, flour, ginger. caster oil of the fire est quality, and numerous other articles of European con: ;umptiota The Bengal indigo has driven the Carolina article out of the market. The hemp from British In& ► competes with that from Russia and Manilla. The imps irt of hides to Liverpool from India in 1835 was 367,00( 1 , and in 1839 443,000. In 1835 the importation to Liverpool from India of wheat flour for the manufacturiq: of starch was 4,300, and in 1837 equal to 18,700 bags_ The Govern ment tables show a great increase also in the articles of ginger, saltpetre, and pepper. Yet the present consump tion of British manufactures in the E sat Indies is esti mated at not more than 13 cents a year 1 'or each individual in the whole population. Jamaica co asumee, says our author, 20 dollars a head, Trinidad 30 al oilers, Cape Co lony 30 dollars, Australia 40 dollars. , Give justice to India in law and commerce, and at the me a lerate computa tion of five dollars a-head, she would tali e five hundred million dollars of British manufactures am wally. When it is considered that India has made such progress since 1830, notwithstanding the unjust system of • duties which regulates the admission of British goods to I lindostan, and the products of native industry to our pertt , we may cal culate on an immense increase under a fair ti riff. At pre sent British cotton manufactures pay only 3A per cent. for admission to India, while the rude produce • Of that country is taxed at the rate of 10 per cent, in this: country. The exports of Indian muslins, silks, and cotta in goods have in consequence greatly declined, while th sse of the raw materials have rapidly increased. SUN.--The public securities keep up a tell.

NAPIER, K.C.13., AT LIVERPOOL. (Front the Liverpool Times of yestei-eay.) LANDING OF THE COMMODORE. As we have previously intimated, it wa; expected that the order for the relea e of Commodore Napier from qua rantine would have been received on Sunday morning, and that he would have landed about eight or nine o'clock. A great number of persons, including several military and naval officers, comequeatly congregated on the pier head at an early hour; but their expectation of seeing and welcoming the hero of Sidon was not then realiser. In the course of the day, it was confidently stated that the long-anticipated release would be in Liverpool on the following naorring, end arrangements were entered into between Sir Charles and the Managing Commit'ee that the landing should take place at ten O'clock yesterday morning. _ Oa - Monday morning the town here evidence that the celebration of some joyful public event was at hand. Guns were fired; bells were rioging ; the Royal Standard of Eng land flaunted in the breeze on the front of the Town-h ; and the vessels in the docks were gaily and lavishly deco ra., d with their many-coloured and countless flags. Large bodies of people began early to assemble on the pier head, and the Town-hall was also surrounded with a con siderable number of people. The arrangements entered into were, however, in some degree rendered nugatory, ether by the Commodore's impetuosity of spirit, or by his desire to escape as quickly as possible from bis con finement on board the Oriental. It was intended that the Mayor and Managing Committee should have re ceived the gallant Officer at the pier -head, precisely at ten o'clock, and that a large body of the po lice should have been drawn up to receive him with due honour, and accompany him to the Exchange ; but about an hour before the appointed time, Sir Charles Napier and his naval friends having received intimation of the receipt cf the order for release, got on board a Government tender, the Redwing, commanded by Captain Tudor, and landed at St. George's Pier, at a few minutes after nine o'clock. A deputation of gentlemen, having with them a band of music, was ready, notwith standing this anticir ation of the appointed time, to receive Sir Charles Napier ; and Mr. Whittv, the head constabP, with a body of police, was also present ; hut the gallant Commodore seemed to fancy that their protective services were unnecessa•y, and titre w himself in the midst cf the gratified multitude, who gave him an enthusi stia recep- Con. Accompanied by the deputation, the police, and vast crowd of persons, and pree,ded by the band, playing " Sec the conquering hero comes," the Commodore pro ceeded to the Town-hall, and on his arrival there, he briefly addres e 3 the dense crowd of persons congregated there. He thanked them for the hearty and hospitable welcome which he had received on first landing in his na tive country, after his return from Syria, and said that the recollecrion of their kindness would dwell with him to the last day of his life. Sir Charles Napier and his friends then entered the Town-hall, and spent a short time in conversation with the gentlemen assembled there. At ten o'clock he left the Town-hall in the illayor's carriage, and was greeted on his departure with a shout of applause from the crowd. At one o'clock, aceoralg to appointment, the Mayor and members of the Town Council, together with a num ber of ether gentlemen, proceeded to the Adelphi Hotel, where Commuc.'ore Napier had establi4ied his quarters, fcr the purpose of presenting to him the address agreed to by our municioal body. Amongst those present were Mojor-General Napier, tie brother of the Commodore, Sir Thos. Usher, and several naval officers. The gallant Sir Chat It a, on entering the large room, was greeted with a round of applause. . - The Mayor formally introduced the Commodore to the company, and then, tarnirg to him, begged to concratn late him on his arrival in this country, after having achieved a series of brilFar.t victories which would hand down his name to pos:e:ity, and on havirg brought a short but suc cessful war to a teimiralon by an honour,ible penu. He then,rt a 1, and ;-.lecwards presented to the Commodore, the following address:— " To COMMODORE SIR CHARLES 'RAPIER, K. C. B. " We, the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of Liver pool, beg to offer you our sincere congraudations on your arrival in this country. • We gladly avail ourselves of this opportunity of expressing the high admiration with which we regard your valour as a warrior, and your ability as a negotiator, and of declaiirg the feelings of piide and sa ti faction with which we hail your return after a career of glory, wheicby the naval supremacy of her Majesty's arms has 'been upheld, the best interests cf commerce sustained, and the peace of Europe preserved. " Your example Riil have its influence on the distin g.,iihe: service to which you belong ; and, under the di rection of Commanders like yourself our navy will be reedy to maintain the honour and independence of our country, and to promote the happiness and peace of the c.vilized world. "Gven under the Common Seal of the Borough, the 14 , h_ of April, 1841." Sir Cuenees NAPIER replied that it was with very great pleasure that he received this mark of kindness from the Mayor and Corporation of Liverpool, and he thanked the company gratefully for the very flattering manner in which he had been received in this own. He was sure that, for any s.aviees that he had been able to perfern, ah ~ .her as a military or naval mar, or as a negotiator, he had receivedan ample reward i n th e ki n d ness exten d e d to him on that de . ). He was glad to say, teat after a very long peace, there was no reason to be apprehensive of the naval stryce of England having fallen into decay ; for it never was in a more efficient state than at present. The campaign in which he had been engaged, though short, had been one in which he had never seen displayed more zeal and courage than was displayed by the British navy, and there were really many officers who were as able as himself to have carried on and brotoeht to a successful close tl.e operations in which he had been engaged. Should a war take place, he was quite certain that officers would always be found who were able to carry it on w ith glory. In conclusion, he again thanked the company for their kindne%s, and wished every prosperity to Liverpoel.— ( Load and enthusiastic cheering.) The MAYOR then iav'ted the gentlemen present to ac company Sir Charles Napier and himself to' the Town hall, there to partake of some slight refreshment. Before leaving the hotel, however, the Gallant Commodore pre sentedhimself at tl.e balcony, mass of people had assembled, and was received by them underneath which a great eirli vehement applause. IL: addressed to them a few words of acknowledgment for their hospitable and hearty accompanied by the Mayor, the 7o c. ,TeL i( c ) l n .: ' rle a , n a d nd th t e ll i e l, other gentlemen present, as well as by an immense concourse of people, he walked to the Town-hall. After the company had partaken of some refreshment, the Commodore wzs conducted to the large ball-room, from one of the windows of which he brit flv addressed the persons assembled in the area of the Exchange, amounting to several thousands. The applause which commenced at the moment that Sir Charles presented himself having subsided, he said that it was quite impossible for the Mayor of Liverpool to have brought him to a more appropriate place than the neigh beurlicod of Nelson's monument for the purpose of thank ing them for the very great kindness which he had received from the.n. He hoped and trusted that as long as they nsidmhldi double urn e bat n l odre, ready sa a toad n i7dty d e mttsahosi that heiemulatelongria etoidl uea nny a lived,th ey were a e s r e l o s n a g i I o a r s s , t andNrye.is Nelsons they wouldnhda d t o beende thereforef defend o " All he had to do was again to thank the people cf Liver pool, and to assure them that he should never forget the attention which they had shown to him.—(Applause. ) Commodore Napier then visited the Exchange News room and the Underwriters'-room, at both of which pieces he was extremely well received by the assembled merchants and others. The demonstration of feeling was throughout of a general and popular kind, and in no instance partook of a party chaiaeter. PUBLIC DINNER TO THE COMMODORE. Ti e public dinner to Commodore Napier took place, ac cusing to announcement, at the Amphitheatre yesterday evening. The company began to arrive shortly after five o'clock, and before six o'clock, the hour fixed for the corn meneemeet of the dinner, the provided seats were nearly all occupied. The issue of tickets was limited to 650, and the whole number, we believe, was disposed of. The boxeswee filled with an assemblage of fashionably dressed ladies, who added lustre to a scene which was in itself most brilliant. The circle of the amphitheatre was boarded over, so as to be on a level with the stage. Across the stage, and on the line usually occupied by the footlights, was placed the head table, and there diverged from it, at right angles, backwards, a number of small tables. The circle was occupied by a number of long tables also placed at right angles with the principal table. Suspended around and in front of the stage were about a dozen of flags and banners. Two beautiful small banners bore the inscrip oed x E vvi honour3l.in work dl kat tier, " Napier and Victory ;" a third, on which were painted the arms of the Commodore, had also his motto— " Ready, aye ready," and was headed " Napier ;" a fourth, similar to the others, bad on it the words " Eng land triumphant." At the back of the stage were hung three largo banners; the subject of the first was the Death of Nelson, and its inscription was, " England expects every was to do his duty ;" the second contained the arms of Liverpool, and the third the Duke of Wellington on horseback, with the lines— " The defender of old England's rights.—. 'Die hero of a hundred fights." Over the centre of the principal table was suspended the Rayal standard of England, and ber eath it were two silk flags, bearing in golden letters the names of " Cape St. Vincent, Busaco, Ponza"—and " West Indies, Beyrout, Sidon, St. J, an d'Acre." In other parts of the Amphi theatre there were hung other flags. Amongst the company there were present Commodore Napier, Major-Gen. Na pier, Sir Chas. Shaw, Capt. Sir Thos. Usher, K. C. H., N. C. 8., Lieuts. Pritchard, Tudor, Patch, Hancock, and Green, R. N, ; Capt. Paley, of the 10th Foot, Liverpool; Lieutenant Cannon, R.M. ; Colonel Wallace, 11. E.l. service; Lieutenant Ponsonby, ditto; Paymaster Pen nirg,on, and Manekzu Cursetzu, a Parsee merchant. If we were to attempt to chronicle the names of the princi pal heed gentlemen present, we should have to form a list of neat ly all our in fluential and well known public men, of both parties.. His Worship the Mayor, Thomas Bolton, Es q , presided. Commodore Sir Charles Napier, Major-Gen. Napier, eine other principal guests, accompanied by the Mayor, entered the Amphitheatre about twenty minutes past six o'clock. They we re greeted with a burst of enthusiastic rind long continued applause. Li the gallery were stationed Mr. P. Stubbs's military hand, tog, titer with a company of handbell ringers, styled "The Victoria Harmonic's Youths." They are nine in number, and are from Oldham. A company of very ex cellent glee-singers was also engaged, and added most ma , (riany to the pleasure of the evening. The dinner, which was provided by Mr. Lynn, of the Waterloo Hotel, was such as would have done that dis tinguished caterer credit, even though the period allowed for preparation had been much greater. The wines were excellent. Dinner concluded at half-past seven, and Non nobis Do:nine having been sung by the professional gentlemen, The CHAIRMAN rose, anti after having bumper, said that the first toast which he "called for a s hould have the honour of proposing was one which, whether it related to their duty as subjects or their gallantry as men, would be received there with the greatest satisfaction. He there fore proposed the health of " Her Majesty the Queen, Duchess of Lancaster—(Tremendous cheering)—aml may she long be the grace and ornament of the Court which she now aderm."—(Renewed cheering.) " God save the Queen" was sung by the professional singers, the band and whole company joining in the chorus. When the words "confound their politics" were repeated, an attemrt was made to get up a cheer, but it was speedily sup pressed. The CHAIRMAN rose again and begged to propose the health of Prince Albert and the Princess Ro}al.—(Three times three.) Glee—" Hai% smiling morn." The CHAIRMAN after - wards gave " The be elth of her Nlaje'y the Queen Dowager and the other branches of the Royal Fatuily."-( Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN called again for a bumper. The next toast, he sail, which he would have the honour of pro posing was one rel . dch related more immediately to the binincs; of the evening, which was to receive with hearty congratuLtiens the distinguished gentleman whom they had the honour to entertain.— (Loud cheers.) They vv. , re honoured that evening with the company of Commodore Sir Charles Napiee (Tremendous cheering.) His achievements in the East were fresh in their recollection, and were more like witchcraft than the action of a human being. lie had achieved, in the period of one short month, what in former wars required years to accomplish.— ( Cheers. ) He believed he had been forty years in the ser vice of his country—( Loud cheers)—and from his youth upwards he had been distinguished for bravery, for coure.g , , and for an enterprise which would carry his name down to posterity as one of the greatest commanders the British nation could boast of.--( Loud cheers.) He had attained paramount victories in the West Indies, Cape St. Vincent, the coast of Portugal, and more re cently in taking of Beyrout, Sidon, and Acre.—(Tre mendous cheering.) Although he (the Chairman) in the abstrrct and individually was not favourable to war, yet if occasion arose, for the honour of the coun try and for the interests of the country, which made it necessary for them to take up the sword, be hoped that thcir arms would be conducted by men like the dis tinguishei gentleman they had then the honour of meet ing with.—( Applause.) In past periods, end in periods in the recollection of most persons present, they had bad Nelson in the navy, Mocre in the army, and they had then living the Duke of Wellington—( Reiterated chre.ing)—and their guest, Commodore Napier.— ( Trerneadous cheering.) Ile was proud in enumerating those distinguished commanders, because it justified the hope that, whenever occasions arose, there would be found good and true men to take the places of those who had gone before them.—( Applause.) Their friend was cor rect in his habits, possessed of an acute and decisive judgment, well acquainted with the modern arts of war, and wherever occasion has arisen, in the discharge of his duty, with that knowledge, that skill, that decision, be has been permitted to being the resources of his mind to act, and commenced those under him with a success which has accomplished the late victories, however im possible they might have appeared. In addition to these qurlifications, he (the Commodore) had a higher claim upon them for his excellent good sense as a nego tiator. With a sound and enlarged judgment, not wish ing to make tine most of the persons he had vanquished, and with just and considerate views, he had proposed plans which had been confirmed by the parties; and as the end of all wars was peace, and as a very short war had brought about peace, when they had been threatened with t 6 e beginning of a long and expensive war—that consideration would fully justify them in thinking that that country was greatly indebted to the discretion and bravery of their guest who acted on that momentous ec casion. With retesrd to the Pacha of Egypt, although an opponent en that occasion, be (the Chairman) might be .justified in alluding to the generous act which that in dividual permitted to be performed, and from which the country derived great benefit, lie alluded to the gene rous conduct in permitting the mails to go to India whilst they were at war with him, and which entitled him to the admiration of every Briton, and ever: just and noblc minded man in the country.—( Applause.) In enume rating a very fes of the nets and <f the conduct of the distinguished intivideal whom be had the honour of in troducing, be was conscious that he was unworthy of ren dering justice to the nie•i•s of the great commander, and he was sorry chi:A the chair was not filled by one who could do greater justice to the guest who now honoured them, but however unworthy he might regard his he evo&d yield to none in sincerity and thankfulness for the peat services which be Ore Commodore) had performed, and which entitled him not only to the gratitude of every person present, but of every individual in the country. He (the Chairman) might scorn niggardly in his praise, but he was not so in his heart, and tie Irlj;el they would a:- tribute any defect on his part to his being unaccustomed for any length of tints to express his sentiments in public. The hearty manner in which they had received the distin guished Commodore must be highly gratifying to that ta lente.igentleman, especially so as there were so many ladies the. e to do him honour.—( Applause.) if an opportunity oc curred of those ladies expressing their opinions they would have a flood of elequenee.—(Cheers.) He would not invi.e an invidious comparison, which would annihilate him altogether, but would join in the siceero thanks they were about to (act- to their guest. He begged to propose " Our distmguished guest, Commodore Sir Charles Na- „ . pier. May cur commanders ernukte his courrge in bat tle, and his hill and decision in the ;civic:” of his cour t,y ; and may their effiJts, like his, ever terminate in the right rebuq of war—honourable peace. '—(Tremendous and reiterated cheering.) Commodore Sir CIIARLES NAPIER arose amidst a re newal of the animated applause, and of the waving of ladies' handkerchiefs, and said that it was a very usual thing for persons, wile.] placed in a position similar to that in which he then stood, to say that they could not find words to express their feelings, end to thank the company for the hohour conferred upon them ; but when he looked around him, and saw 600 gentlemen villa had done him the ho nour to receive bins in that distinguished manner; and when he looked, too, at that circle of Lancashire witches (Cheers)—who had thrown around their spells to charm the hearts of all—aye, (sr en the hearts of the deaf and dumb—n ho could wonder that he should be unable to find words to express his feelings, to make known his gratifi cation at the manner in which he had been received in this commercial town, and to thank the company present that eseaing for the mariner in which they had received his health ?—( Cheers.) This, however, was not the first time that he had been in Liverpool. He had the honour of paying a visit to the town, some years ago, in company with Marsh al Soult, that illustrious warrior, who had been fighting all his life against England, but who, when the sword was sheathed, was received in England with that enthusiasm which so distinguished the English character. He did not think that he should be going too ler in saying that the .manner in which Liver poi l received Marshal Soult was one of the chief causes of the preservation of peace between France and Eng land.—(Very marked applause.) But if this town had received in such a trimmer Marshal Soult, wbo had been fighting all his life against this country, it was not sur prising that they should receive him (the Commodore) in the manner they had done, considering that he had been fighting all his life in the service of this country.— He had been placed within the last few months in a very peculiar position. He was in the Mediterranean at the time the insurrection began. It was an insurrection against his friend, Mehemet Ali. He might u:e that term, for he was proud to say thet Mehemet Ali was his friend. The Pacha did not understand the proper way of governing and managing Syria. He did not receive proper instruc tions a.d information; and the consequence was, that he managed them in the oriental way, which was not exactly the way in which our brother Christians in Syria liked to he managed. They rebelled, and Mehemet Ali, a vigo rous and resolute man, determined to put them down. He therefore sent a great force against them, and, spite of our Ministers and bureaus succeeded in putting down the insurrection. This was done in the most moderate man ner that he (Commodore Napier) over saw. Nocruelty was practised, with the exception of one day. He did not be lieve that a single act of outrage was committed against the inhabitants of Syria. That insurrection was certainly pro ductive of benefit ; it expedited the Ministers of this and other countries in the signing of the treaty of the , 15th July, for the liberation of the Syrians from the tyranny'— for so be must tail it--of Mehemet Ali. He then hap pened to be senior naval officer on the coast of Syria. The treaty arrived on the 10th of September, and there was little time to lose; it was necessary to carry the thing through at once—( Cheers)—for the greatest of all evils nasan European war. They had double tides to work. He was placed in the position of both Admiral and General, and was obliged to act up to the best of his knowledge and ability ; and he was happy to say that in the course of one short month they succeeded in driving a large force, amounting to about 100,000 men, from Syria, and in liberating the inhabitants of Lebanon.—( Applause.) But the business was not then over. They bad a very small force—there were about 10,000 Turkish men— whilst Mehemet Ali mustered between 50,000 and 60,000 troops. Shortly after the taking of Acre, he sent six sail cf the lice to Alexandria. The winter was then coining on ; and he took on himself what was truly a very great responsibility, for he was destitute of instructions or advice from the Gevermnent at home, or from his superior officer, and proposed to Mehemet Ali peace. After three or four days' discussion—not like the usual dis cussions in such cascs—(Laughter and chcers)—terms were settled, and in four days peace was made, and an agreement signed. He then thought that the war in Syria and Egypt was at an end. But when the treaty agreed to between him and Mehemet Ali was sent to Constantinople, it was repudiated by the Porte; it wa s protested against by the Eloglish Ministers, and upset by the authorities in Syria,—denounced as hasty and unauthorised by the Commander-ir! Chief, and abandoned without reflection, and all the business was obliged to be done over egain from the beginning. But be hoped and trusted that he might be permitted to cleim that Syria had been evacuated—perfectly evacuated; and this notwithstanding the improper terms sent to iVlehemet Ali —terms that it was impossible he could accede to 'Without setting the whole country into rebellion and discord, creat ing dissension in his family and mutiny in his army and navy, and be was right in rejecting the terms with scorn,but the liberal part of the terms he received ; he abandoned his monopolies, and gave up slavery--(Cheers)—and all that he asked was that he sh ou ld b e l e f t i n qu i et possess i on o f . order that he might devote his whole energies to its civilization : " For," said Le, " I have given up all ideas of conquest." It ens his (Com. Napier's) duty to say that lie believed the Pacha was honest and straight forward in his conduct ; that from the beginning he acted wish the most perfect sincerity. He surrendered the Sultan's ships, he victualled the fleet; he ordered his army to evacuate Syria, and put the country in a po sition to obey the Sultan. But the Porte was ili-advised in the matter. Their commander had secret instructions to examine into the strength of the army of the Pacha, and if it were feund uesk to attack him, and if strong to let him alone. A brother officer of his (the Commodore's) named Stuart, and Calonel Mitchell, protested against the act of the Porte, and fortunately it was not carried into effect. Syria was evacuated, Mehemet Ali ret;red into his country, and certainly had a right to expect jus tice at the hands of the Sultan, and of the foreign Powers leagued against him.—(Cheer;.) In his (Corn. Napier's) long stay in Egypt he had frequent opportunities of conversing with Mehemet Ali. He was a man• who should not be measured by a European standard, but measure him by an Oriental standard, and he (the Com modore) would bound to say that no country of the East had produced such a liberal and open-minded man as Mehemet Ali.—(Cheers.) He had had opportunities of stopping our trade and mails, and of doing an immense injury to Great Britain; but what was the course he bad pursued, and the feelings he had expressed ? He said, " I am not at war et ith England, but with the Ambassadors at Constantinople." He (the C ommo d ore ) touc h e d upon the impropriety of the monopolies of the Pacha, who te.orted in a manner not lam a expected y h b m( certainlytheCom modore) He said, " Why,mo nopolist i _1 am in circumstances which force me to be so ; but you are also monopolists in England —you have got the corn trade in England.---(Laughter and cheers, mixed with a few hisses.) You ace I am a farmer and mer. chant, and want to send corn to England. I find, on inquiry, that the price is up to 80s. a quarter, and I send a ca-go, expecting to bring back a whole cargo of menu facoired goods ; out by the time the corn has waived in England the price has fallen from 80s. down to 503. That, however, is not all ; there is a duty of 20;. or 303. clapped on it in addition.:'—(Laughter and cheer;, and a few hisses.) Then, as to the opening of the navigation of the Nile, he (the Commodore) had recommended the propriety of opening it, as it would be an advantage to the trade and commerce of Egypt. The Pacha admitted that such was the fact, but, said he, " You must recol lect that 1 ant an Oriental. You bad once is your country a monopoly of the East India trade. It re quired a great many years for you to do away with it, and you must allow me some time for the accomplish ment of what I conceive to be beneficial. When I can see my own interest, nothing will give me greater plea. sure than to open the whole trade in Egypt and on the Nile to British commerce. What I expect is, that Eng land tsill tell me what she wants, and I will go it. Our interests are completely identified. You want a passage to India, I want your trade ; and just tell me what it is that you expect, and I shall be happy to enter into all your views, whatever they Ere." He (the Commodore) also spoke to him about the propriety of abolishing slavery. The Pacha acceded perfectly to his views, and said, " I detest slavery, but our religion, in fact, our whole system, admits it. What can I do? How many years did you take to abolish it? Ilot: many millions did you ex pend before you abolished it altogether? I have no money. The religion of the country is against me, and what can I do? Give me time and peace, and I promise that there shell he no monopolies, no slavery in Egypt. And everything shall go on to your heart's content." When Mehemet Ali had done all that man could do, and had rec ived a promise of the Pachalie of Egypt in hereditary possession, the Commissioner of Turkey came to bias and said, " We will make Egypt a Pachalie, and your son shall succeed to you,—that is, he shall not, but we will appoirt any one of your sons that ice think right." Now what was that but to create discord in hie family ? The provision had obviously that effect, and the Pscha rejected it. He said ° There is Ibrahim Pemba, whom I brought up as my son and successor. He has an army of fifty thousand men under him, and if I attempt to turn him out be will come against me, It is therefore impossible that I should accede to yoor terms." Another tax put on him was that the Porte demanded to have the appointment of all his officers above the rank of subaltern. The reply of Mehemet Ali was, that in that case his troops would not obey him, and he was obliged to reject the condition. He (Corn. Napier) did hope and trust that after all they bad seen, the five Powers, or at least the four Powers, who had a right to exact from the Porte that it would do justice to Mehemet Ali, would finish by givieg him the bone fide government of Egypt, and establish 'aim is the Pachalic of that country, and if they did that, he (the Commodore) was mora'ly sure that no country in the world would benefit half so much by the arrangement as Great Britain herself. —( Loud and long-continued chesring, in the midst of which the Gallant Commodore resumed his seat.) The ,Mneon again rose, and said that the company had just lead the pleasure of expressing the feelings which they entertained towards an excellent commander, then teen guest : but they must all be sensible that he (Commodore Napier) had had under his command excellent sailors and soldiers, who, from the confidence they had in that Commander, the result of former knowledge and experi ence of him, did whatever he wished them to do cheerfully sod devotedly. He (the Mayor), therefore, begged to propose " the Army and Navy," and he must be permitted to associate with the toast the names of two gentlemen will where compel)/ they were favoured upon that occasion. He alluded to General Sir Charles Napier and Captain Sir Thos. Ussher.—( Applause.) General Sir CHARLES NAPIER first rose to acknowledge the compliment, and was very warmly received. Ho said that it was extremely difficult for him, a humble individual, to return thanks on behalf of the British army, but as he was the oldest, though cm teinly not the best soldier pre sent, it fell to his fortunate lot to have that pleasure. The armies of England were not like the armies of any other nation of Europe. They were differently formed. They did not consist of slaves forced into the ranks at the will of a despot. They were enlisted by men animated by the deeds and stories of Wellington and his followers. Tne young men of England, so animated, voluntarily entered the service of her Majesty, and it was to them, for that reason, a great satisfaction whenever they were in this manner pahliely complimented. It was particularly satis factory to them when they were complimented in the pre• sence of so much beauty as then beamed upon them. He must regret sincerely that a worn-out veteran should be called up to be the representative of the young and handsome soldiers of England—(Cries of ' Hear, hear") —riben surrounded by so many of the Lancashire witches, who bad already been -more then once com plimented that night, thought not sufficiently ; but they knew when the witches turned their minds to ir, that though the representative of the army might be an old and battered soldier, they had sufficient discrimination to find young and handsome ones.—(Laughter.) He would not, however, waste the time of the company in trifles, but assure them seriously, that when the army beard of the honour that had been done them, they would be most grateful for it; their wish was, that they should always serve their young and beautiful Queen, who, by the by, was also a Lancashire witch, to gain the approbation of their fellow-citizens, and he was sure that it would afford satisfaction to their minds when they ascertained that their health had been drunk in union with that of the British navy, which had ranged over the world unrivalled, and which, when it found the rolling waters too limited for its victories, had invaded the land—(great applause)—and as his gallant relative had just related, defeated their whole armies ; but here delicacy prevented him from going fur ther, and he must confine himself, though the field was open for a good deal of remark ; he should therefore con clude by drinking the health and happiness of the com pany, including also the ladies in the gallery, and pros perity to the town of Liverpool. —( Cheers. ) Sir THOMAS Ussiran next rose to speak to the toast; he sail that be could have nothing to remark on the subject of the navy in the presence of Sir Charles Napier, who had acted so gallant a part in the Mediterranean, tending fully to show that when the fleets of England were called into action they would do their duty manfully and well, as had been done under the command of his Gallant Friend. He begged leave to return his acknowledgments for the very handsome manner in which the company bad responded to the toast. Glee, " Britain's best bulwarks." The MAYOR observed that they were that evening hon oured with the presence of several officers of the East India Company's service; he would therefore beg to pro pose the health of the East Indian army, in connec tion with the name of Col., Wallace. He need not men tion, for they must be engraver' on the hearts of all, the distinguished services which that army had performed in past years, and also very recently, to the very great advan tage of the community, and he hoped that be might say that peace was again establishel in the East. Colonel WALLACE, in responding, said fiat he was at a lass to express how much he was gratified by the distin guished honour that had been conferred on the Indian army. He had returned to England after thirty-two years' service —(Cheers)—in eves y part of India, in the Eastern Islands, in Java, in the whole of Hindostan, and within the last three months in Affg'aanistan. He only regrettel that the honour of replying had not fallen to the lot of a more able officer than himself, in order that full justice might have been done to the toast; but be did assure the company that he most deeply appreciated the honour which had been conferred on the Indian army, and he wished, at the same time, to state that there was not a man in that army—which, at the present moment, consisted of two hun dred thousand fighting men—who was not entirely com manded and controlled by British officers.—(Cheers.) He was really at a loss to express his feelings on that occasion, and the company must therefore permit him to conclude by returning his most grateful thanks. The CHAIRMAN propcsed 'The Iligh Sheriff of the county."—(Drunk amidst loud applause.) The CHAIRMAN—The next toast which I have the honour of proposing is, " The Lord Lieutenant of the county—( Applaure)—evith our best wishes for his better health."—( Applause.). Glee—" Here, in cnol grot." Commodore NAPIER then rose and said, there was a toast pet into his hands which require I him to address not only the gentlemen, but the ladies—it was the health of the Mayor of Liverpool—(Cheers)—the conservator of peace, trot only between the gentlemen, but between the ladies.—(Laughter and cheers.) It was with pleastre that he 'had the honour of proposing the health of the Mayor of Liverpool. They had heard the very eloquent speech which the Mayor had made that night, and a moat !Uttering one it was towards him (the Commodore). It was his duty to endeavour that the toast he was propos ing should be drunk in the most open, honourable, and distinguished manner that it could be done, and in a way worthy the Mayor of the second town cf the nation. There was not a place inure honoured than that of Li ' eepeol, for the conquests they had made owr the ele ments. The difficulties and dangers of the entrance; to the port of Liverpool—net second even to London —they had teen able to overcome, by their exercise of the abili ties of the inhabitants of Liverpool, over which the Mayer at the present moment presided. He begged leave to pro pose " The health of the Mayor of Liverpool, with three times three."—(Great applause.) The CHAIRMAN said he could not but feel highly gra tified at th e ',cry friendly manner in which his h. alth had been proposed by the Gallant Commodore who had ho noured them that day with his c ompany It sp as a source of pleasure to him that he ELM the office of Mayor at the time so distinguished a visitor came to see them, H e, i n common with every one who had gone before him, and he trusted with all those who s hould sue 'cod him, would ever be willing to render a just tribute to such honourable gen tlemen est the one who I:ad just addressed th AD. He begged to return them again his thanks, and also assured them that it would be his sincere desire to discharge the remainder of the period of hie Mayoralty in a manner that would give satisfaction to those itl the town where he had so long lived, and in which he should in all probability die.—( Loud app lause. ) Th e C K AIRMAN—I beg to prop; «TheHealth f the Members ; Members for the Counry."_(Drunk loud applause.

H e sa id, the Decoration Committfe—(Loud lauglittßeftript":tik confusinn)-:-.he begged to assure them that, in rea p ott - " 4 ing to ths.t toast, he had only to express his -gratification t 4 that the town of Liverpool should be represented by two such men as Lord Sandon and Mr. Cresswell.:—(Applause and hisses, cries of " Chai-, hear," and uproar.) They bad met on that occasion to pay proper respect to Cf En- ' modore Napier, an officer in the navy of Great Britain, and there was no man who bad a higher regard for the navy of Groat Britain than be (Mr. Dawson) had,'' for he had a brother in that service who had signalised himself. He vas most anxious on every occasion to-do everything he could to support the navy of Great Britain, and en tha present occasion, in the decorations which graced that as semhly, there was not the slightest political allusion. He ' concluded after thankirg tit:in for the attention with which they had listened to him. The CHAIRMAN said the next toast was one which would be received with the g,reate;t satisfaction. He begged to propose " The health of the brave companions in arms of Commodore Napier," and associated with it the name of Captain Massey, one of those who had distinguished them. selves in the late warfare in the East. Tht en times three. ) Captain MASSEY returned thanks. He was most pry ud, in the name of his brother soldiers, to return thanks tor the honour conferred upon them for their services in Sy, Wherever tbtir Gallant Commineer went they followed. —( Loud applause.) The British navy were more et le. bratrd for deeds than words, and he could only say that he ' had n: t words to express how warmly they would thank them. He only hoped that their deeds would prove that they were grateful for the honour they had received that day. Once more be begged to return them h's hearty : thanks.—( Applause. ) Glee, " Rule, Britannia." The CHAIRMAN said they had been honoured that even irg by the presence of a Parsee, and he begged to' propose that gentleman's bealth.—( Loud applause.) • S MANACKJEE CußsErikk, of Bombay, dressed in the COS , tume of the country, wan received with much applause. The distinguished honour they had done him that night was as great as unexpected, consequently he was at a loss in what manner to express his sense of it. He sincerely thanked them, however, from the bottom of his heart, and felt sincerely fl itteiel, and would ever retain a grateful sense of it.—( Cheers.) The town of Liverpool was like a modern Tyre, celebrated for the en' e, prise of its mer chants, and to whose enterprise it owed its greatress. They were all aware that that enterprise had increased the commercial enterprise of India, and /3ornbaY in particular.;. therefore, in return for their mark of honour, be proposed the health of the merchants of Liverpool, and particularly those interested in the prosi:eity of India..--(Clicers.) Major-General Sir CHARLES NAPIER said there had been a toast put into his hands, which he felt the warmest disposition to give, and yet had the greatest ignorance to speak upon, it was, " The good old town of Liverpool, and the trade thereof." Now, great the town of Liverpool was, and good also; but he who had been forty years in her Majesty's service knew little about the trade thereof ; but the East Indian bad at that very mo ment given him the power of addressing them on that subject, for it was very easy to speak of the trade of L'. verpool, which five minutes before he could not do. He now knew that the trade of Liverpool was ,so g: sot and noble that it had raised the East Indian trade, and the trade of the whole world by its force. He had always thought Liverpool second to London, but from what he had heard that Evening he thought it greater than Lon don.--(Applause. ) London was the great moneyed pro prietor, and Liverpool the great agent who broughtin the revenue from the estate. He would not e.der Into a deep sea, and talk about what he did not understand, but for the honour tie had that day received in the presence of his gallant relative, with all his heart he ga. ,- e that toast.-- (Loud applause.) He hoped some of the merchants of Liverpool would respond to it.—(Applause.) WILLIAM BROWN, Esq., rose to respond, but spoke in a tone of voice quite ins:at:dole at the reporter'; Ho wan loudly applauded at the conclusion by those immedi ately around him. The CHAIRNIAN said they were that evening faviurcd with the company of a gentleman who was endeared to all by whom he was known fur the urbanity with which he discharged his duties. Ho Le gg ed t o propose th e health of " The Colonel Commandant of the district. r—( Chr-ers.) Colonel FALCONER said it few w , reds which •cvere in. rudible except to those immediately around him, its re turning thanks. Commodore NAPIER said, as tint was the class of the eveoing, they cool not do , batter than drink to their amiable friends. who came there to superintend, he. was almost going t ) say, their meeting. He begged to pro, pose the toast of the .‘ Lancashire Witehes."—( Applause.) This being the last tat of the evening, the company began quietly to disperse about ten o'clock. This festive meeting, the first at which the two great political parties of Liverpool have mat fa , r some years, formed perhaps as magnificent a scene as has cvur been witnessed in the town, and with two or three very slight exceptions, it was characterised throughout by a spirit of harmony and forbearance which was exceedingly creditable. COMMODORE NAPIER'S TRIUMPHANT RE CEPTION IN LIVERPOOL. • This gallant Offices, whose fame has spread through Europe and the East, landed in this port yesterday... amongst the warmest anl most unanimous expressions of respect tii t ever erected a successful commander on his return to his native country. If he had not taken the public of Liverpool almost as much by surprise as he took Sulymaa Pacha by his landing at D'Jouni, Ibrahim Pacha iii the attack on his army at Calat Meiden, and the Go. vernor of Sidon, in the heroic assault on that fortress„ he , would hare been ee'comed on his landiag,by s!s‘e greatir part of the male poputatien of Liverpool. As zt was, be did not move a single step during the whole day without receiving the warmest rks of respect from all classes of , the community, and he itat entertained in the evening at a public banquet, worthy of himself and of the second com mercial city or the empire. Tl.e reception given to the gallant Commodore, warm and eothusisstic as it was, in no degree surpassed his dr serts. To hire we are holebted mainly fur a series of the most rapid and brilliant successes ever achieved by the British arms—successes which preserved the integrity of the Turkish empire—kept open to British commerce the overland routes to India, and secured the peace of Eu rope, by settling the possession of Syria before the war party in France had time to throw the world into confusion. Widle the journals in the pay of M. Thirrs were trum peting forte the heroism of Ibrahim Pacha ,and his Licuteatoo, Sulymen, and predicting that the Anglo- Turkish forces would be dispersed by their veteran regiments, Napier was marching from victory to vic tory, routing their armies one day. and .storming their fortresses another, until the occupation of Syria by its rightful masters hid become a fait accompli, and that be fore poor M. Thers could get on his armour, or come to the assistance of his Egyptian friends. By these rapid successes the threats of that little great man became as ridiculous as his intentions were odioue k and he was compelled to give pl a c e , am id s t m i n gled exi*essions of ridi cule and disgust at home and abroad, to the able and excellent men who now preside over the affairs of France. If the war in Syria mod have been protracted to the spring of the. ;, present year, as in all probability it would have been if the . victory of the Turks and Marines over Ibrahim Paths had not broken the spirit of the Egyptians in the field, - and the storming of Sidon had not shown them 'that they were not safe ev ea behind the ramparts of, their fortified cities, the war party would have been able to maintain themselves in Fiance, and, according to their presentown co demands on have the made,Al iAllied in h dPowers o t we e spring rswh of eh would the uid unquestionably have been followed by war.
