Long and practical experience the 'treattnent of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in tr-bitdnee, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous "ebil t tsp,"hrtoth forms or Tdsinity, 'l7nhapprand Unfraitftd ?darn ligeVlnipoteney, Local and Constitutional weakness, and their erldleas modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are r r l nc iPlei of personal management which cannot be v i o l a t e d without the heyday grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed heyday of inconsiderate self-indnigence, how these penalties w aY be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, !..nci how the evil and it s oon . equenc es ma y b e av oided, and above all, rat there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional ' e ,„rangernent to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply ie:reArded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated irlblications assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues their Patentliostrnms, have inflicted serious 'injury on those who aye been induced to place faith in their pretensions. . .

SUPPLEMENTS TO THE MORNING ADVERTISER. THE extraordinary increase which has tak en place in the circulation of the " Morning Advertiser" since its enlargement, three years ago, has been followed by so great an influx of advertisements as to render indispensable the publication of a series of SUPPLEMENTS after the commencement of the approaching session. Supplements to the " Morning Advertiser will accordingly be issued as often as the pressure cf Advertisements or intelligence may render their publication requisite. To form an idea of the increase which has taken place in the circulation of the " Morning Advertiser," it will only be necessary to give the News paper Stamp Returns for 1850, and the circulation, as nearly as may be ascertained, of the various morning papers, except one, at the present time. In 1850 the Stamp Returns gave, the following re sults : MORNING ADVERTISER • • . Daily News .......... •• •• •• ...... .• 1,152,000 Morning Herald .... •• • • ..... .......... 1,139,000 Morning Chronicle .. .. • . .• .. •......... 912,547 Morning Post .............. ....... • . 828,000 It will be observed from this statement, that, omitting the" Times," the circulation of the " Morning Advertiser" was then far above that of its morning contemporaries, Were tile Stamp Returns to be given down to the present time, the relative circialation of the" Morning Advertiser to its four morning contemporaries - assuming that their circulation has undergone no diminution—would be as f llows: MORNING ADVERTISER ... • ...... ' 2,356,260 Daily News • • • • • 1,152,000 Morning Herald .. • • • • Morning Chronicle .. . • • . . • .. 912,647 Morning Post .• . .. ••• • . . It will be seen that the present circulation of the "Morning Adver tiser" is more than double that of the two highest of its four contem poraries, and nearly treble that of one of their number. The annals of journalism contain no instance of success at all approaching to this. Such brilliant progress is the best compliment which could be paid to the " Morning Advertiser's entire Independence of all parties and Governments, and its earnest and unceasing advocacy of the popular cause. Published every morning at 127, Fleet-street. January, 1854. LI F E ASSURANCE; REPORT of the SELECT COMMITTEE of the HOUSE of COMMONS, ,ftpd the DEPOSIT SYSTEM—the New and Important Feature of Life Assurance adopted by The DEPOSIT and GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. The following is an, extract from the Report of the Select Com mittee : - '` THE OBJECTS which persons HAVE IN VIEW IN' EFFECTING IN SURANCES upon their lives, are GENERALLY OF AN IMPORTANT AND SOLEMN character, viz., the PROVISION FOR WIDOWS AND ORPEANS after the death oltheir NATURAL PROTECTORS ; unlike any ordinary transaction of trade, a CONTRACT ONCE ENTERED INTO CANNOT BE ruscuaßGED os ABANDONED, if doubts of the stability of an office should arise, WITHOUT A SACRIFICE OF PREMIUMS PAID IN PAST YEARS, and the necessi'y of effecting new policies in other offices at increased rates of premium, owing to the greater age of the assured ; persons are thus placed in the ANXIOUS AND UN HAPPY DILEMMA OF BEING COMPELLED TO PERSEVERE IN PAYING PREMIUMS FROM YEAR TO YEAR, with 809 E suspicion and doubt as to the ultimate advantage Of doing SO, OR OF INCURRING atiE SE RIOUS LOSS WHICH. UNDER THE MOST FAVOURABLE CIRCUMSTANCES, MUST ATTEND THE ABANDONMENT OR SALE OF A POLICY."' • On the DEPOSIT SYSTEM a person is NOT "COMPELLED" to pay from " TEAR TO YEAR," and he does not, if desirous of " ABANDON ING" his Policy, incur any'' impious Loss," but, on the contrary, he may pay such amounts, and at such times as he may find most con venient; he can stop paying whenever he pleases, and he can with draw the whole or part of his premiums. If the whole be with drawn the Policy is cancelled ; if part only, then the value of the Policy is diminished by the assured value of the part withdrawn. A B, aged 20, opens a deposit policy with a payment of Cl., which it will be seen he increases from time to time, and occasionally diminishes. z _ 2 0- od, „4.0=.0.,.....m—.....0 rltig 4''7 .227 . 9. al w ggi4 4 , -.N..,Mr-M , MN,.. , ...M0 O 4.0 Q .-.02.7 , --M,V.V.OV74 i.

DEATH OF REAR ADMIRAL ANDREW, C.8.--Rear Admiral John W. Andrew, C. 8., on the retired list of 1846, died at Chudleigh, Devon, on the sth instant. The services of the gallant deceased afloat extended over, 28 years, all rendered during the war. He entered the navy , in June, 1798, on board the Foudroyant, 20, Captain Sir Thomas Byard. He was present at the cap ture, in the following October, of a squadron of French ships under Commodore Bompart, destined for the inva sion of Ireland, after which he removed to the Royal George, 100, bearing the flag of Lord Bridport, in the Channel, where, and on the Mediterranean and East and West India stations, he subsequently served in the Seahorse, 38, Blanche, 36, Conqueror, Leopard, and Canopus. While in the Leopard, he served in the boats in the celebrated catamarin attack of 1804, on the Boulogne flotilla, and was present in the Cano pus in Sir John Duckworth's action off St. Domingo, Feb. 6, 1806. Being advanced to the rank of Lieuten ant, he joined on July 24, in the same year, the London, 98, which ship escorted the Royal family of Portugal 'to South America ; in July, 1809, he was appointed to the Ajax, 74, Captain Robert Waller Otway, and during the two years that followed, saw a. good deal of active boat-service in the Mediterranean. After acting for six weeks as captain of the Rainbow frigate, he was confirmed as commander of the Weasel, 18, Sept. 26, 1811; and on Feb. 21, 1812, was in company with the Victorious, 74, in the Gulf of Venice, when that ship encountered an enemy's , squadron, consisting of the Rivoli, 74 ; Mercure and Jena, of 18 guns each ; and Mamelouck, 8. During the action that ensued, Captain Andrew, whose exertions were ex tremely creditable, was 40 minutes engaged in close contest with the Mercure, which vessel eventually blew up. He then chased and put to flight the Jena, by whom he had also been opposed ; and having likewise driven off the Mamelouck, bore up to the assistance of the Victorious, stood across the bows of the Rivoli, and twice poured in a broadside shortly after whioh the latter ship surrendered. For his exem plary conduct he was promoted, his last commission bearing date Sept. 26, 1812. His last service was as captain, from Oct. 1, 1814, to Jan. 24, 1816, of the Dee, 24, and during that period he visited Hudson's Bay. Rear-Admiral Andrew was nominated a C.B, June 14, 1815. DEATH OF CAPTAIN HAY.—Captain Patrick Duff Henry Hay (1833), on the retired list of 1846, died on the 6th inst. He entered the navy in 1805, and served afloat 16 years. As a lieutenant he served with Sir Thomas Hardy in the Ramilies, at the blockade of New London, and the capture of the islands in Passamaquoddy Bay, and the bombardment of Stonengton. His latest services were in command of the Redpole, Medina, and Pylades sloops. DEAT OF COLONEL MURTON, R.M.—Colonel Henry John Mrton, on the retired full pay of lieut.-colonel Royal Marines, who died at Brompton, Middlesex, on the 6th inst., aged 73 ; he entered the service in May, 1798 ; became first lieutenant, Feb., 1804 ; captain, Oct., 1813 ; major, January, 1837 ; lieutenant-colonel, July in the same year ' • and colonel, N ov ., 1851.

Hawkins, of the flag-ship Impregnable, 104, was shooting wild fowl in a boat in Hamoaze, and while adjusting the lock of the gun it unfortunately went off, and the charge lodged in the thigh of the boatman, William Algar, of Devonport, who was immediately conveyed to the Devon and Cornwall Hospital, where he has since expired. Lieut. Hawkins has, we understand, undertaken to make provision fur the widow of the un fortunate deceased —Plymouth Mail. REPAIR OF THE RUSSIAN SHIPS IN HER MAJESTY'S DOCKYARDS.—This fact, which the Czar bad the auda city to require of Lord Aberdeen , was published to the population o f R uss i a , thus—" hile the English dare not send one chip into the Black Sea, we order them to receive our ships into the very inside of their dockyards, and the miserable Nanders obey." This is the language in which England is held up before the Russian serfs.— Ranta Advertiser. GREENWICH HOSPITAL.—Rear Admiral Sir W. Ed ward Parry, the newly appointed lieutenant-goverpor of this institution, joined the establishment on 'Wednesday last. He and Lady Parry are on a visit at Sir Jas. Gordon's until his house is ready for his reception, which will be in the course of a few days.—Kentioh. Mercury. THE AFFAIR AT SINOPE.—The following particulars have been received from Mr. Thomas Taverner, of New ton Abbot, master of the British vessel Howard, which was destroyed by the Russians in the harbour of Sinope. Under date of Constantinople, DeceMber 11, he states that, "On the 30th of November, he was lying at an chor, the Turkish squadron being also at anchor in the bay. The Russian fleet, taking advantage of the thick weather, ran in with a strong breeze from the E.S.E., and were not more than a mile and a quarter distant when first seen ; and in 15 minutes from that time an engagement took place, without giving any notice to him to reipove his vessel or get away. He used every exertion to slip his cable, which it was impossible to effect, before continued showers of shot and shell were striking the hull, mast, and rigging, directed from the Russian ships of war. The Howard, with the whole of the Turkish squadron, were in a short time involved in flames. The Howard was partially blown up abaft, when one of the Turkish frigates drifted foul of her. The remaining Turkish crew, about 100 in number, jumped on board the Howard, and with axes, chisels, &c., cut and slipped her cable ; both the vessels drove together, when, the fire having reached the powder magazine of the Turkish frigate, an explosion took place, and what was left of both vessels was blown to pieces. He then describes the loss of the Turkish fleet, &c., and finishes by saying that 'everything was destroyed ; he had only the things he stood upright in ; that, after reaching the shore, he was attacked by robbers who were plundering the town, and they stripped him of everything, leaving him only his shirt and drawers. He then made for the woods, and remained there in a large tree all night with the remainder of the crew, two of whom were missing (one the steward), having jumped overboard in a state of insanity produced by fright. On the following even ing he made for the town, and finding the Austrian Con sul, he placed himself and crew under his protection." RESIGNATION OF SIR R. H. INGLIS, BART., M.P. OXFORD, SATURDAY. --- The Vice-Chancellor has this day received a commu nication from Sir R. H. Inglis, Bart., M.P., announcing his resignation as one of the representatives of this University. Sir R. H. Inglis was elected in 1829, when he op posed Sir R. Peel, who had resigned his seat in conse quence of his views on the Catholic question having undergone a change since his election for the Univer sity. On that occasion Sir R. Peel offered himself again as a candidate, but was defeated, Sir R. H. Inglis polling 755 votes, and Sir R. Peel 609. Sir R. H. Inglis was re-elected without opposition at the general election of 1832, 1835, 1837, and 1841. At the general election in 1847 there was a contest, when Sir R. H. Inglis polled 1,700 votes, Mr. Glad stone 997, and Mr. Round 824. Again, at the general election in 1852, the University was contested, when Sir R. Inglis polled 1,369 ♦otes, Mr. Gladstone 1,108, and Dr. Marsham 758. Thus it will be seen that Sir R. H. Inglis has sat for this University for 25 years—namely, from 1829 to 1854. His loss in Parliament will be severely felt by the University, especially in the present session, when Uni versity Reform is likely to engage the attention of th e Legislature, for no member was more attached to the academic body, and none resisted with greater perseve rance any attempt to " weaken its influence," or " in vade its privileges." The right hon. baronet is in his 68th year, and in declining health, which he urges as his reason for withdrawing from the turmoil of political life, for which he feels himself unequal. The Marquis of Bbinclford, M.P. for Woodstock, is spoken of as a candidate on the low church interest, and Mr. R,undell Palmer, M.P. for Plymouth, and Deputy High Steward of this University, on the high church side. The Marquis of Chandos and Lord Mahon are also named as probable candidates. The high church party now in Oxford, held a meeting this evening, in Oriel College, Common Room, to con sider what steps should be taken under the present cir cumstances, but the result of that meeting has not yet been announced. Late in the evening the Vice-Chancellor issued a notice that a convocation would be held on Monday the 16th, at two o'clock, when a letter addressed to him by Sir Robt. Harry Inglis, Bart., one of the representatives of this University, would be read to the house. It is anticipated that the high and low church party will have so matured their arrangements as to he able to announce their respective candidates in the course of Monday. i . ..

Out of respect to an old and gallant officer we (Morn ing Herald) publish the following letter, although we have exposed the error of our contemporary. We may take the Opportunity of repeating that the son of Lord Exmouth was offered a command by a Whig Board of Admiralty. We believe it was understood that the gal lant vice-admiral would only retain the command-in chief of the East Indies and China station for a year ; but although the twelvemonth has just expired, there is no doubt that he has been formally recalled, and that the official intimation of the public decision of the Board of Admiralty is now on its way to the Win chester : TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD. Sir,—Will you be good enough to insert in your paper, which contains so much naval news, the accom panying letter,• the copy of that sent to the editor of the Times, explanatory of Vice-Admiral • Sir Fleetwood Pellew's services ? and 'I have since heard that Sir Fleetwood's appointment to the Revolutionaire was in 1817—only three years after the Resistance was paid off.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, ROB. W. G. FESTING, Rear-Admiral. Maiden Bradley, Jan. 12, 1854. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir, —I n justice to Vice eA - d — mi ;al - — Sir Fleetwood Pellew, I must request you to correct the mistake re garding his sea services ; for the comment upon his cha racter in your paper of yesterday states the Resistance to have been the last ship he served in as a captain forty years since. Now, allow me to inform you that Ad. miral Sir Fleetwood commanded the Revolutionaire, a frigate, under Sir Graham Moore, in the Mediterranean —from 1820 to 1823 (I believe). I mush also mention that I commanded a frigate — t he Psyche—which Si r Fleetwood had been the captain of p reviousl y , and that I never heard a word then of h is bein g a severe officer. This was on the East India station in 1811 , where h e was well known as a gallant and promising young officer.—l am, sir, you r ver y obedie nt servant ' ROB. W. G. FESTING, Rear Admiral. Maiden Bradley, near Frome, Jan. 6, 1854. MANNING THE NAVY, TO THE EDITOR OP THE DAILY NEWEL si r ,--The recent proclamation relating to prize money will not materially improve the c on di t i on of the class upon whom our defence at sea will mainly rest—our able seamen. It will still be true, by way of example, that, of a given prize taken, the captain will take as his share 791/. 13s. and an able seaman will take 61. 12s. At least such is the result of a useful analysis recently published. Further details would encumber the question. You want to man your fleet at a time when it can be proved that men receiving 121. a month from Australia to Lon don actually left a ship touching at Plymouth and paid a class of men called runners 3/. 10s. a head to take their places on the voyage to London, thus enabling the owner to get his ship navigated to the Thames for nothing. Under such circumstances how can you help raising wages largely unless you make the shares of able seamen more attractive ? The true proportion should be the same as that which subsists between the respective emoluments of any two classes. If seamen, before the mast, had a chance of rising to the higher grades, it might be argued that supe rior advantages given to the officers of a ship act as an incentive to the men to distinguish themselves. As, how ever, the fact is otherwise, the Admiralty p rac ti ca ll y main tains a system which tends to discourage from the naval service the very pith and marrow of the nation's strength. The consequence to the tax payer will be increased bur thew while the men you get will bei of an inferior deaerip- LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 16, 1854. . - 4 1 XPORTERS to AUSTRALIA, EAST IN -1 DIES, CAPE, &c.—Genuine YARMOUTH BLOATERS. — For terms apply to Tuosses LETTIS, Fish Merchant, Great Yarmouth.

London : Chapman Mid Hall, 193, Piccadilly. France from the alliance of England, and to carry her over to the side of Russia, or to persuade her that she is acting in subservience to the interests of a foreign and unfriendly power. The first would ; at the point t o which matters have gone, be fatal to her dignity and her honour • the second would prevent her acting with energy and unanimity in the proSecution of the war. Either might well subserve the interests of the Fusion, but both would be eminently disastrous to the welfare of France. It might serve the objects of declining factions to dis honour the Government of France by isolating and weakening the policy of ihe country, or to neutralize her resistance to Russia, in order to facilitate the triumph of that mighty patron to whom the re united Bourbons look for support. The essence of such efforts is to raise a faction at the expense of the country, and to postpone the interests of the first empire of the continent to the paltry intrigues of two repudiated dynasties. 'The question of the East is, we are informed, a ques tion of preponderance between England and Russia in the Councilsnf Turkey. The embassy of Prince Mens chikoff had, it seems, no other object than to re-establish the interest of Russia against that of England. Because England protected Tnrkey in 1840 against Mehemet Ali, by which she gained nothing whatever, she must be actu ated by the most sordid motives in her present support. of Turkey agains t Russia. This is the Fusionist account of the present quarrel with Russia. We appeal to the manhood, the honesty, the truth of the nations and Governments of Europe, whether it be the just one ! Is it to support the preponderance of England that France, Prussia, and Austria have joined with her in recommending terms of agreement to Russia, in which England claims no right, no power, no privilege, which is not equally conceded to each of the great Powers ? We know what preponderance Russia has aimed at in Turkey. By treaty after treaty she has stripped her enemy of her provinces, her privileges, her rights of free navigation and of in ternal government, until at last nothing remains but the provinces she is about to invade, and the capit a l she already prepare s t o s t orm . This is, indeed, ambition and preponderance ; but what privilege has England demanded ? What advantage does she now demand at the expense of Turkey ? Where are the provinces she has ravished from her, or the concessions she has enforced ? In concert with Russia and France, England established the kingdom of Greece, but with out seeking or obtaining anything by the change. The Fusionists tell us that an union of the Five Powers is impossible ; that England and Russia can never act to gether. England desires this union, which has suc ceeded so well on so many other occasions, but Russia refuses to allow any one but herself to judge of her claims. Is this the proof of England's desire for pre dominance ? The Fusionist organ desires for France a position tion at the head of the neutral powers of Europe, leav ing to Russia free liberty to violate the rights of nations, and to England the glory and danger of maintaining them alone. The seizure of Moldavia and Wallachia is, it is said, nothing to Franee, which seeks no predomi nance, and is only a blow to the gimping spirit of Eng land. Why, then, should France trouble herself to repel an invasion which is really only levelled at our greedi ness and lust of empire ? We cannot descend to notice at such a time the long catalogue of invidious reminiscences which the organ of the Fusion has deemed it for the present interest of its party to disinter from the annals of France and England —unfortunately only too fruitful in such unhappy topics. Whatever they have been, France and England, at any rate, are now friends, united in one noble cause— the champions of a common, civilisation—the enemies of barbarism and aggression. It would be disgraceful for England to seek, under the pretence of vindicating the national law of airope and curbing the outbreaks of brutal violence, for any private or personal advantage. The Fusionists are determined to find such a motive, though they are perpetually varying in their estimate of what it may be. At first it was for the sake of our Indian Empire, then for our trade in the Levant, and now for the vague and shadowy object of preponderance in the East. We emphatically deny that England is actuated by any of these aims. It is to resist the preponderance of Russia, not to establish her own , th a t she is now on the threshold of a war from which her every feeling recoils and every interest revolts ; and, instead of trusting to obtain anything for herself in the coming confusion, she has been careful, before. draw ing. Jhe sword, clearly to record the terms on which she will be always ready to sheathe it. But, if that griping selfishness which the Fusionists impute to England be unworthy of her motives and degrading to her character, what shall we say of the part which the organs of a dynasty which claims France as its natural heritage mark out for the land which it aspires to rule ? To abdicate its historic position among Euro- I pean nations—to leave the care of asserting public law and redressing the balance of power to other hands—to stand tamely by and see the battle on which the liberties and civilization of Europe may depend fought out with out daring to strike a blow for the right —to affect the office of a mediator, when, on the one side, there has been nothing but injustice received, and on the other nothing but injustice inflicted,—this is the destiny which the sons of their ancient Kings propose to the gallant and high-spirited people of France. What interest may be served by such policy we will not stop to inquire ; but assuredly that interest is not the interest of France, nor that policy the policy of a great country. 'We are happy to believe that these degrading propositions are rejected by the good sense and magnanimity of the French nation with a scorn fully equal to our own. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. APPOINTMENTS.

The Medea steam-sloop; Commander Augustus Philli more has been taken into the west dock, and on examin ing her bottom it was ascertained that she had entirely lost her false keel, as not a vestige of it remained, and the fore and aft parts of the keel were completely destroyed. The gripe was gone, and the bottom of the rudder reduced to fibres. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 15. We believe Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, C. 8., of the flagship Victory, will succeed to the command of the Excellent. Sir Thomas is admirably qualified for the responsible post. He is an active and strict officer, and liked by all smart officers and good men. Rear-Admiral Chads, C. 8., left Portsmouth for the Admiralty yesterday afternoon. The following promotions in the Somerset-house de partment of the Admiralty took place consequent on the retirement, from ill health, of Mr. D. S. Smith : Mr. Thomas Weigall to be clerk of the first class ; and R. W. C. Richardson to be clerk of the second class, vice Weigall. The Banshee steam despatch yacht, Lieutenant-Com mander Reynolds, left Spithead on Friday night for Constantinople, with despatches from the Cabinet for the British Ambassador and Vice-Admiral Dundas. She Would put in at Lisbon for coals and speak Rear-Admiral Corry. Lieutenants John James Rolling (1812), Robert Lee Stephens (1826), and Patrick Campbell (1835), of the Coast Guard service, to the rank of commander, being the annual promotions in the Coast Guard. We are informed an increased expenditure for labour in the steam factory in the dockyard, to the extent of 50/. per week, has beep lately ordered by the Admiralty, in order to forward the progress of the engine works required for sea service. Rear-Admiral John William Andrew, C. 8., on the retired list of 1846, died on the sth inst. at Chudleigh. The Rev. Dr. Woolley, D.D., Inspector-Geueral of Dockyard Schools, has proce e d e d f rom this port to Devonport, to hold an examination to-morrow of candi dates qualified for inspectors, leading men, &C., who arc wanted to fill up vacancies in Devonport Dockyard. The Termagant, 24, new screw frigate, is to land half her boilers and furnaces, and to lose one-half of her nominal horse power (620 1-220 more than given to the 131-gun three-decker Royal Albert). This is considered likely to make her a good auxiliary power vessel, but it is believed 'she will never prove a vessel of any great merit. _ _ _ The Blenheim, 60, screw guard-ship,• Captain the Hon. F. T. Pelham, is undergoing a thorough refit. Her fore mast is not replaced, having been found very rotten. Wing passages are to be constructed between her coal bunkers and the ship's side, no possibility having yet existed of stopping any shot holes that might be made in those vulnerable positions along the orlop deck. A.ddi- THE FUSIONIST POLICY. - Our Paris contemporaries having evinced extra ordinary,interest in the argument put forward by the Times of Monday week, in its leading article, in reference to the Fusionists and their policy, we deem it advisable to give that artitle iv - its entirety, as subjoined : " If chivalry were to be looked for anywhere in these degenerate and mercaptile , days. it should be in the Fusionist press of France. The advocates of a cause Which has little save one-sided historical recollections and traditions to'support it, their somewhat sentimental view of politics should them to place duty above expe diency,.and to urge the sacrifice of anything except honour. But it is always dangerous to reason from antecedent probabilities, especially in the case of baffled and de feated factions, for they generally prefer their animosities to their principles, and the gratification of a momentary spite to consistency in action or elevation in opinions. Of all who have written on the questions at issue be tween the Western Powers and the Emperor of Russia, none have taken so mean and grovelling a view of the Controversy as the Fusionist press. They have busied themselves in suggesting the meanest and most improbable motives for the action of this country in opposition to Russia. Unable to believe in anything but sordid objects and .hollow professions, they have set themselves, with a perverse ingenuity, to persuade the public of France that their alliance with England is a bargain in which France has been craftily overreached, and that, instead of maintaining the violated law . of Europe in the coercion' of a barbarous and aggressive Power and in the preserva tion of the rights of nations, France . is mad e th e mere tool of British poli c y, an d is fighting for a prize which .her perfidious ally is destined to bear away. The in terest of England, we are told, is " evident and consi derable." It consists in her preponderance in the Levant, in her immense commercial relations with Turkey and Asia, in confining Russia within the Black Sea, and driving her from the East towards the West and North. These are the objects for which Liverpool, Glasgow, and London, we are told, are content to go to war, and for which France is to be involved in a profitless struggle. e have on a former obcasion disposed of miserable insinuations of this kind so far as regards India, and a very few words are sufficient to show'the hollowness of the rest. The whole commercial system of this country has undergone a revolution which excludes the possibility of its deriving any advantage from the prosecution of War. England seeks no exclusive commercial privileges. Opening her own ports to all nations, she is content to receive from them such treatment as their more or less enhghtened views of their own interests may induce them to give. She asks no pre-eminence, no predomi nance ; and where, as in China, she has dictated peace to a conquered enemy, she made no better terms for herself than for every other nation in the world. 'Liverpool, Glasgow, and London are well aware that, in this age of the world, commerce is not to be extended by arms, nor forced as a burden on conquered nations at the cannon's mouth. It is to the interests, not the fears of mankind, that the commercial spirit of England appeals. Arms may protect her com merce, but that commerce must work out its own ex tension. The spread of our trade, and the increased de mand for our manufactures we find in the power, not in the weakness, in the progress, not in the barbarism of foreign countries. Our interests are inseparably con nected with the peace, order, and good government of the world. Every step in advance is to our advantage, every retrogression to our injury. We have nothing to fear from the risral industry and eommerce of Russia, crippled by restriction, borne down by taxes, choked for want of internal communication, starved for want of capital, and pining under the withering shade of des potism. The Russian fleet may be terrible to the Turks, but its destruction, should it take place, will add nothing to our nautical predominance, and will destroy the only hostage we now possess for the good behaviour of its master. But there is one thing which this country de sires, which Glasgow, Liverpool, and London desire, and the preservation of which is worth all that could be wrested from a barbarous enemy by a hundred successful campaigns. That one thing is Peace. The bare apprehension of war has already destroyed more capital and defeated more enterprise than would have served to convert the coasts of the Black Sea from a howling wilderness to a smiling gar den. Blessed with the means of internal prosperity and progress such as she never possessed before, it is not the call of interest, but of duty and honour alone, that Eng land permits herself to be turned aside from these allur ing pursuits, and is ready to enter on a contest which she views with reluctance and abhorrence. Such we believe to be the feeling of France, and, therefore, when the Fusionist organs ask what gain these countries pro pose to themselves by the war in which they are all but involved, we answer None. War is a pursuit in which the most brilliant success is a heavy loss—a loss exactly proportioned to the degree of social and political advancement of the belligerent country. • flat France 'and England propose to them selves something better than territorial aggrandisement, political preponderance, or commercial , monopoly. They propose to establish the claim of the great European public to consider itself something better, than a band of robbers, where the s trong. plunde r th e weak, and those not immediately attacked, view the outrage with passive indifference. They propose to vindicate the supremacy of law over violence—of .the con science and reason of mankind over barbarous might ; to preserve the tyranny and overbearing faith of treaties and the transactions of nations with each other from that anarchy which is gnawing the very vitals of their internal polity. When they shall have di sc h arg ed this sacred duty, when they shall have chas tiSed the aggressive power which tramples on public law and spurns at the very idea of national independence, France and England will gladly lay aside their arms and return to the arts of peace, proud in the consciousness that they have gained nothing by their sacrifices and dangers except the respect and gratitude of Europe. This is the only answer we can give to the question of the Fusionist journal as to what France has to gain in t tstruggle doubt, it would be far ea withbletoboßthusbaria. No anches of th e Bourbon family, m r eagre united in nothing, we believe, 80 s t rongly as in their hatred of this country and their subserviency to the Czar, to see France false to her treaties, her honour, her high mission among European States, covering such baseness under the pretext of moderation and neutrality, and suing for the employment of mediator, instead of speaking with the tone of imperial command and autho rity. Whatever France lost by th e eje c ti on o f th e e ld er and younger branches of the Bourbon family, there is no doubt that Russia has every reason to regret their fall. The Revolution of 1830 intercepted an alli ance between the King of France and the Emperor by no means favourable to the interests of Great Britain, and Louis Philippe, in a long series of humiliating over tures, compromised the dignity of Franc e i n or d er t o procure the support of the Emperor Nicholas for the title of the Orleans family . . What wonder that the fusion of these two families should be inaugurated by an attempt to divorce Francs from the alliance o f . a country from which they have received so many benefits, repaid with such signal ingratitude ? What wonder that they should seek' to degrade the policy of their, successor to the level of their own, and to substitute for an equ a l an d honour able league with England in a good c ause a base depen dence on the crooked policy and ba r b arous pretensions of the Court of St. Petersburg ? ( From Ae Times of this day. ) A few days ago we called attention to the cynical tone, the total absence of political morality, and the inability to conceive any motives higher than thofie of the most sordid, immediate, and short sighted interest, which characterise the Fusionist journals of F rance . Embarked in a cause which appeals to no immediate interest and holds out no pros pect of material a d van tage, the organ of the re-unit e d scions of the house of Bourbon has made itself above all things conspicuous for its rejection of the feelings of honour and duty, and stands at the bar, of public opinion a criminal c onv i c t e d o f sac rificing the int erests of its country to tho se o f it s p ar ty, without ho nour and expe diency, and without conciliating the esteem of the gene rous, or com man di ng th e a pprobation of the prude n t. In ii tone of abject humility this journal tells us that, at the moment when the question of war has become imme diate, and before the struggle begins, it has felt it its duty to examine the interests of France and England in the struggle, without party spirit, and without the pre tension to influence the decisions of Government, and that, a war once commenced, the policy of France shall be its own. In this intermediate stage, then, the po licy of France and of the Fusionist organ in not iden tical. While peace lasts the interests of its party are to be served at the expense of its country, an d only in the case of war is the larger duty to predominate over the smaller. This is no obscure confession of faith. On what patriotic principle,.could the .Fusionist party be moved to select the moment of impending war for seeking to sow mistrust and, discord between France and her principal ally ? This policy can only have one, of two objects—either to separate 7 E. n Feb. ~ Jan• Jan. is Unce Jan. n Jan• n Jan• ( - 1 p h i t II
