SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS In:noticing in our Paper of yesterday the budget presented by the Brazilian Minister of Finance to the Chamber of Deputies, at Rio, on" the 15th of May last, we were probably too brief to gratify ,t he curiosity of some of our city readers. Thotigh, therefore, the subject can only be interesting to a few, we shall make no apology for a more extended statement. The Minister, the Marquis of %ilia eerie, begins by describing and lametiting the evils of the existing exchange—the excesisive rise in the price of ell commodities, from a depreciating ,eur rency—and the hardships to which all public aervants were thus subjected by its effect on their incomes. Ile derives hopes, however, of amelioration from the spirit of the Chamber, and the honest exertions of the Government. Having enlarged on these preliminary considerations, his Excellency proceeded to divide the information he had to give into its proper headse as relative to the income 'and expen diture for the year, the estimates of ,both for the next two years, the state and amount of the public debt, and the condition of the Bank. The revenue, ordinary and extraordinary, for, 'Le year ending in May, was 24,069,791 milreas. Of this sum the province of Thu do Janeiro supplies more then the half—or 9,030,225 milreas ordinary receip and 5,248,30 extraordinary. Such a revenue svouid more than answer all the demands made on the State, if the above .sum were its ordina r y a nd re l' pro duce( ; but this is not the case, a CODSI erable portion of it arising front loins, seigniorage on money and the doubling of the taxes of nearly all the provinces. To show how un certain are the calculations of Brazilian fitniciers, and consequently the danger of placing Sny re liance on the estimates submitted to the Chamber. the Minister mentions that the revenue of t e pro vince of Rio de Janeiro, which was estin ated at 13,409,989 milreas, had produced 9,030,2 5 mil reale making a difference of 2,620,285, or nearly half a ?Italian sterling. The Minister estim tes the expenditure for the year at 22,818,245 milieus. — An account is next given of the amounti of the public debt contracted both at borne ands abroad, funded and floating, liquidated and unliquidated.— The foreign debt had been increased by iii loan of 400,0001. in , London, but as there had been a payment of 257,8180/. 35. Od. on account of the 350,0001. which were due•to his Majesty, namely, 211,1181. 17s. 6d. for London, and 43,4611. 61, fur ILio, in the sinking fund of the loan of 1824, the real increase was only 98,45114 from whiqh was to be deducted the sum which temained in linden for paying the half yearly div i d end in A p ril hist. Thu home debt had increased by 447,386 mitre s, at the endendi of the financial year, and since then ,043,200 milieu, by means of loans. The interne floating debt .amounts to 19,095,128 milieu, which, toge ther with that due to the Bank of Brazil' amount ing to 4,015,722 milrotti, makes the whole fl oating debt 24,520,857 marmot. The sum of rto whole debt of all kinds is estimated tit 13.5,000,000 of eroxadoe. This amount of debt,, the Minister ad mits, is great, but he contends that it dogs not ex ceed the resources of the empire. Against it the Government bud to sot doWn 2,000,000 of square miles of unoccupied i poly of great' value. This debt is es imated, in Loglialt money, at 15,000,000/. sterl ng. The I other parts of the Ministeri al statement efer rather to icternal affairs, and do not affect the c edit of the empire with fortogneri.—Times. .• "The triumph of the Liberals in Franco isimuch more complete than was anticipated in this country.

(:.,,,,,,,it of 4renc e._ will never again retrograde. For such a pbenomenon in the history of mankind can never be forgotten. Though the object aimed at in this event, may not be attained, though the revolution or reform of the Constitution of a people should in the end prove abortive, or after enduring for a time everything should return to its former state (as politicians now predict), still the philosophical prediction will lose nothing of its power. For the event is too great, too much interwoven with the interests of mankind, too extensive in its influence on the world, not to be held in remembrance by the nations, and to give rise to fresh attempts whenever circumstances, are at all favourable; and thus at length, instructed by the experience of former failures, the Constitution will infallibly receive the qualities which will ensure its duration." In another part of his work the writer observes— " This Revolution of au ingenuous people, which we have seen in our times, may 'Succeed or fail; it may so abound in misery and cruelty, that a well-disposed man, even in the hope of conducting it to a successful tenping. tion, might hesitate to repeat an experiment at such an expence;--still this Revolution, I say, finds in the hearts of all spectators (not themselves implicated in the game) a sympathy that borders on enthusiasm, and which no danger has been able to repress. The enemies of the Re volution could never kindle in the minds of their adherents the enthusiasm and greatness of soul which waH produced by the cause of justice, and even the honour of an old and warlike nobility disappeared before the arms of those who had the rights of the people in their eye, and stood forth as their eliampions," The victories of the enemies of mankind over na tions never extinguish the desire which is implanted in the human breast to live under the dominion of law and justice. Even if Charles the Tenth bad succeeded in the late attempt on the liberties of the French, the victory would only have been post poned, On every favourable occasion the passion for independence would have burst forth. The smallest spark is at any time sufficient to kindle the spirit of resistance to misgovernment. Though good, the people of England are far from being in circumstances so favourable for vigorous resolution as the French: let no man despair. We appear lost in selfish considerations, and timid, as selfish and luxurious men usually are; but let not the Oli garchy of this country be too confident. The prin ciple of hatred to them is indestructible, even in the bosoms of those who live on their bounty. The first favourable moment their power will be assailed, and will yield to the onset.—Morning Chronicle. Ilia Majesty's active and (as we may, without /donee, be permitted to call it) inquisitive' mode of life, is said to have been found alreadi rather incon venient by some of his servants, who have not been used to be interfered with, or, in any similar degree, subject to that kind of supervision and inspection which they must now undergo. What may not, however, be very agreeable to Ministers, is' precisely whet the country at large rejoice to see, It was the misfortune of his late Majesty (and what he is stated to have lamented as such on his death-bed) never to have been led, by inclination or necessity, to habits of business, and to have Wien latterly for want of it, into a life of ease. Not so the present King. Bred in early life to a profession, the very nature of which implies perpetual motion, the King has never ceased to be the active character that pro fession made him, and seems likely now to bring those active habits into most seasonable play for the welfare and service of the country. It is the misfortune' of Kings to be continually deceived from want of personal knowledge of the true state of things. As in private so in public life, an indolent master produces lazy, indolent servants, who shrink from exertions which they are sure will never be scrutinized or appreciated, This has been one of the misfortunes of the last reign, and the peculiar characteristic of the present Mibistry. Uwe mistake not, it will be so no longer. The King seems determined to see and know things through the medium of his own senses ; awl hie Ministers will soon find that the rule of " tel maitre, tel valet" must be their lot, To the country at large this will be a source of unmixed good, especially aided, as it evidently is in the King's case, by kind heart and a condescending disposition. It is difficult to deceive any man who determines to see and judge for himself, and this determination is in calculably the most valuable in the bighescrank, because it is the fate of those who 'occupy high station too often to be surrounded by those whose trade it is to deceive. We have no doubt but that the real state of the country was keptfrorn the late King; and we entertain as little but that in the ease of the present King such attempte will be Una vailing. The King, by mixing with his subjects, will learn more truth in one day than he would obtain through the medium of the best of courtiers in a month ; while the people will be inclined to bear even misfortunes without murmuring, when they see and feel the personal interest which the Monarch takes in their fate.—Morning Herald. Whet to-day is fact," says Junius, " to-mor row is doctrine," Let us apply this. A Morning Paper, which has been for some time past the re flection of Ministerial wisdom on every question, says " We have often stated it as Our sincere opi nion that, provided a Government i could keep the wheel: or Stale in motion, the weaker it was in Par liamentary numbers, the more desiraide would it be that such an Ailitiinistration should Continue." This is only the major 'proposition of the intended syl logjam—ale minor and the conclution have been modestly omitted, and which wei shall take the trouble tp sppply ; the whole specimen of political logic will then stew! thus :—Theiweaker an Ad ministrition is in Parilamentery numbers, the more desirable is it that it should corttimUs. The present Administration has been weak rp 'Parliamentary numbers ; therefore, the present t Administration ought to continue, We admit, upon this reasoning, the case is clearly made pet ; for, if " Weakness Parliament" entitle an Administration to the confi dence of the Crown and the support of the country, no Administrition ever proved itself better qualified than the present one for political longevity. In deed, so far did It sorry that political excellence in the science of Government denoted by the words " Par liamentary weakness," that it could hardly in the last Sessior keep ifie wheels of ibe Male I n 'me, lion—so reluctantly did Parliament afford the mar serial with which it is necessary to oil them—namely, the "supplies." In the present instance we are not expressing any opinion of our owns as to whether the A..doenistretion ought or oughenot to continue — we are only eornmenting upon the paradoxiesl dis covery of the Ministerial organ a; to what consti tutes the best claim which an A.thninietr4tion. Fen have on the support of ' the Sovereign and the people. Let us try this new theory by the test of the reductio ad absurduni, If a Government that can barely keep its power alive is to be supported out !of Parliament propprtien to the weakness which it exhibits within, it follows t.big, a government, so able and so fortunate us to succeed in combining tlm suffrages of all the representatives of the people in its support, ought to be declared incompetent to go vern, ao pp immediately turned out. Let us sup pose that on Atiminietretion was ,to inspire Parlia ment with that confidence in itR Oiliries and wisdom which would not only secure to its measures tile vutes of that venal and submissive class whose creed it is ,to rt whoever happens to be in p ower, but KI T a lso of a t; rke filisiptereste , e n lightened, and pa triotic representative of urge independ ent bodies of electors, who gene rall y veted against t.nts present Administration, --let Administration conduce( us IstitilTeospei:bl7ce a u fria l ir i s sa t su a cl i : ama v n i u r e tu t , o r ut s 6, to as co vi m e b i n a e t o h i e t v h o e t e o f f aw aLt i l g te p w or is a c and . sues, wooer) suff rages c ome, of courser it support, then such an Administr a ti on must be I utterly disqualified to sway the destinies of this country; it is in a state of political reproba time, as displaying the very opposite of that excellence which consists in the exhibition of " weakness in Parliament," and, consequently, it neeht to be dismissed from the direction of the +t,. Sovereign's dis- Government which the indefatigable purveyor to the " lion" of the day has just discovered, and which will, no doubt, make a valuable accession to ,the political philosophy of modern times. As to the metaphor about keeping the wheels in motion, we will restore it to the original owner—a Brighton coachman, and ask him whether it is his " sincere opinion that, provided a coach establishment could keep the wheels of the coach in motion, the weaker it was in horses, and the more unskilful in whips, the mote desirable would it be that such a coach establishment should continue ?" We will allow his answer, and the grin that would accompany it be imagined. Suffice it to say, that answer would not be such a one as would induce our sagapious' contemporary to - Raise him from a coachman's fate, To govern men, and guide the State. But it is curious enough that, while the Ministerial organ is endeavouring to persuade the public that the great claim which the present Administration has to a continuance in office is their weakness in Parliament, the Ministers themselves should be doing every thing they can to get rid of that Ina& fication for power, by endeavouring on all sides to strengthen their hands by nkw accessions of Parlia. mentary influence. Suppose they should succeed in securing ninety-three additional votes by the en suing elections, as another Ministerial paper pre dicted, they will certainly deserve to lose their places for abjuring that which constituted their chief excellence as advisers of the King, and made them most trust-worthy as stewards of the commonwealth —namely, their 9.weakness in Parliament." To be thought worthy .tif the power they enjoy by the great Council of the nation would, according to our contemporary's theory, he the severest sentence of condemnation that could be passed upon them; and, no doubt, be will mourn over their large ma jorities as the evidence of their incapacity and the symptoms of their approaching dissolution.—.. Mor ning Herald. THE PLAGUE. Now the cloud is very black, and the storm comes down very sharp. Death rides trium phant on his pale horse through our streets, and breaks into almost every house, where the inha bitants are to be found : people fall as thick as leaves from the trees in autumn, when shaken by a mighty wind. There is a dismal solitude in London streets : every day looks with the Bice of a Sabbath, observed with a greater so lemnity than it used to be in the city. Shops are shut up; people rare; and few that walk about, insomuch that grass begins to grow in some places, and a deep silence in almost every place, especially within the city walls. Th ese scenes of desolation and woe excited in the mind of Pepys the following train of thought and extraordinary moral reflection :—" Sept. 3d, —Lord's day. Up ;' and put on my coloured silk suit, very fine, and my new periwig, bought a good while since, but durst not wear, because the plague was in Westminster when I bought it ; and it is a wonder what will be the fashion after the plague is clone, as to periwigs, for no body will dare to buy any hair, for fear of the infection, that it had been cut off the heads of people dead of the plague." Sydenharn concludes his chapter on the plague in the following remarkable words It the reader shall find that I have any where erred in theory; I beg his pardon ; but us to practice I declare I have faithfully related every t h ing, and that I never proposed any plan of cure before 1 had thoroughly tried it. Indeed, when I tome to die, I trust I shall have a cheerful witness in my breast, that I have not only, with the greatest diligence and honesty, attempted the recovery of the health of all who committed themselves to my care, of what condition soever they have been (of whom' none was otherwise treated by me than I desire to be, if I myself should happen to suffer the same diseases), but that also I have laboured to the utmost of my, power, if ,by, any means it might be, that the cure of diseases may be managed after I am dead with the greater cer tainty : for I esteem any progress in that kind of knowledge (how small soever it be), though it teach no more than the cure of the tooth-ache, or of corns upon the feet, to be of more value than the vain pert) of nice speculations." From this treatise on the gout, which has always been considered a masterpiece of descrip tion, we learn that he had suffered from the at tacks of that painful disease during the greatest part of his life. In the dedication which is t o the learned Dr. Thomas Short, Fellow of the College of Physicians, he mentions, that w hil e composing the treatise itself, he was so tormented with the gout, that be was unable to hold a pen, and was obliged to employ an amanuensis. It was written in 1683, and begins thus Without doubt men will suppose that either the nature of the disease I now treat of is in a manner incom prehensible, or that I, who have been troubled with it thirty-four .years, am a very dull fellow, Seeing my observations_about it and the Cure of it little answer their expectations." With the graphic • pen of one who has suffered the terrible martyr dom of this disease in, his Own person, he de scribes i••••"."

The next day, and perhaps for the two evening, the torture return s , b ut =its towards Pr three Mowing days, towards the time of cock-crow. In a few days, the other foot is destined to endure the same excruciating agony." Sydenhain goes on to enumerate the co4lpvie of complaints that afflict the gouty perso6,-- 4 f till gt last hp is worn out by the joint attacks of age and of the disease, and the raise , rable wretch is so happy as to die."-- , Familll Library, No. XIV. . • Sr'.

Some very singular reports are in circulation re specting M. de Villele.

To effect this he would fain have deprived the Prince of the aid of the English Journal, the Times, a great Champion of the Ministry of the Bth of August, and khavti ob tained the good will of a certain Ambwitdor by the most extraordinary confessions as to the 4termi nations which he would direct, or rather I wou Piot direct, to the war of Algiers preparations for hick e T were then making, if he should obtain an - vial reinstatement, or if his counsel should be ask . ~ It is added, that the correspondence of the ' me: has been concocted in the o ffi ce of the Gazette de. ' France for some time past, and as evidence ()phia l the praises which the Gazette has bestowed on the correspondence are cited. The Marquis de Rezende, the Brazilian Minister, and the Baron de Reudufe, sent from the Regency of Terceira, appear to have reason to be perfectly satkfled with the reception which the Emperor , Nicholas bestowed on them at Warsaw. They feel assured that they will obtain from Russia the re cognition of the Regency of Terceira, The Em peror has authorised the commencement of con ferences between them and kis Ministers, and as a token of his good will, has ordered that they should be furnished with post-horses to St.. Petersburgh at his expense. A letter, found on a Turkish officer killed in the affair of the 29th ult., has been translated 'by our interpreter, which leaves no doubt as to the difficul ties the D eyi experienced in carrying on the war. This letter is curious; it is from an Algerine emis sary,charged with recruiting from the Arab tribe. He gives an account of his mission, and says that the Bedouins will only march if they are well paid; that they want the ducats of Hungary, the golden mah moudies of Constantinople, or at least the gold money of Egypt. THE EXPEDITION TO AFRICA. The London Express quotes, respecting Algiers, a curious document, which is not generally known. It is certain that Napoleon long cherished the - idea of seizing the Regency. The secret history of the . Cabinet of the empire cites a secret paper on the Treaty of Tilsit. We give a copy of this very singular document, the authenticity of which is un questionable, and which unveils the policy of Na poleon:— " SECRET TREATY OF TILSIT. " Art. 1. Russia shall take possession of Turkey in Europe, and shall push her conquests into Asia, as far as she may think fit. " 2. The dynasty of the Bourbons In Spain, that of the Braganza Family in Portugal, shall cease to exist : a Prince of the family of the' Emperor Napoleon shall be invested with the crown of these kingdoms. " 3. The temporal authority of the Pope shall cease, and Rome and its dependencies shall be united to the Kingdom of Italy. " 4.

It is said that Don Miguel slapped the face of the Secretary of the Spanish Embassy, and that the Ambassador (Acosta) having remonstrated with him concerning the conduct of the Dey of Algiers, thegracious Sovereign drove him froth his presence. This statement appears incredible at this juncture, when Don Miguel has just received 6,000,000 of reals from Spain; the fruit of a collection made in the ecclesiastical chapters, to enable him to pay his troops, and to avoid an impending mutiny. We have received the estafette of Algiers, which gives the following interesting account of the inter view which took place between General Bourmont , and the Dey of Algiers. M. Bourmont was the first person that entered the palace of the Dey, and was • received by his Highness with great com- posure I am come to ask you for an apartment, said the Commander-inrChief; to which the Dey re plied,' General, my palace, as well as the city, are yours, since you have been the victor; you' may dis pose of them as you please; but I request of you a couple of hours to remove. the furniture, which is my property.' 4 Take all the time you please, end all the effects you may require." Two hours will suffice,' answered the Dey. Accordingly, in that short time the whole : of the Dey's furniture was conveyed to a private house, and M. Bourmonr, with the whole of his staff, was settled in the palace. Shall Ibe safe ;U. the town ?' asked the Dey. - Yet; but you would do better to retire to France or England. The Dey paced the apartment, and made no reply : after a moment's silence, Hussein uttered a few words—' I governed without fear, and I abdicate in the same' . manner.' He then,, after taking off his royal garments,.retired into a private dwelling, and he is, now to be seen walking about the town, and mingling with the crowd." Fnoat Tomori.—The French camp is filled with Arabs, offering their provisions for sale ; the en gineers are busy in repairing the fortifications of the caitle.of the Emperor, and the damage done to the batteries on the sea coast will also soon be repaired; 18,000 cannon-balls were fired on the 3d from the fleet and batteriec" (From the Massager des Chambres of Saturday, July 17.) PARIS, Jutx.ll3.—The delivery of a note by the Ambassador of England, relative to the occupation of Algiers, and the supposed intentions of the French Government.,with respect to that part of Barbary, is a piece of news wholly destitute of truth. We can only .confirm in all points what is said on this subject by Galignani's Messenger...-. Universel. Instead of invectives against the electors, and ebullitions of anger against the deputies reelected in spite of it, the Ministry should order its writers and confidants to make France easy' respecting fo reign policy. Some words respecting our projects in- Africa—some positive explanations respecting our relations With Vltigland . -....-;svould be of more use than the disputing about .cpiestions already so delicate, Tlie occupation of Algiers is a ; prodigious end new turn given—to-:.foreign policy. The result of this great Soil gloripos,affair will be either to restore our'rredit in the eyes off - the world, to regain a i eg i, timate influence, or to sink lower than ever. Glory. or shame, strength or decay.-sill depend on it. Instead of that loyal confidence which a great people ought to feel, the public is obliged to have recourse to uncertain information to learn what its patriotism is so interested in knowing. The follow ing is the outline of what we have learned from various quarters of the state of the question. - Our P`inorlitinn to Al/tiara netbi6...l Powers, and particularly to England. France did not enter into any engagement with England, or England with France, relative to the results of the enterprise. England gave its assent, foreseeing ob stacles rather than success. Now . Great Britain sees an easy career secured to us, where it antici pated only immense sacrifices—perhaps impossi bilities, it is astonished and out of temper at its foresight, but this is all. A degree of embarrass ment in the language of the London journals shows the, feeling of general surprise, which is equivalent, in our opinion, to the absence of premeditated hostility. As for the imperative notes of Lord Stuart, it is certain they have not been presented, and could not be. „On the death of the King of England, they mustphave new credentials, which Lord Stuart has hot :lie continues, indeed, to maintain the interests 'of. his Court, but in this situation he cannot pre niont official notes; he would only express himself with much more reserve than he is reported to have done. It appears that the last Council of our Cabinet was wholly devoted to the examination of conse quences of the occupation of Algiers. M. de Polignac is said to have promised to make the English Cabinet, where he thinks he hat great in fluence, listen to reason. But what is of more consequence than the speeches of their Excellencies is the resolution of tivo august persons, unequivocally expressed, for the retention of what we have just conquered. It is added that this resolution has inspired a sudden dislike to the policy of coups d'etat. It is very true, as we -have already said, that M. de Mortemart has been invited to return immediately to St. Petersburgh, but the moment of his "departure seems to be still undecided. ANECDOTE OF THE PAINTER AND THE PORTRAIT. An artist recently visited Hampton-Court, intent upon obtaining a portrait of his supposed future King. Communicating his wiihes to the domes ties, he was informed that it was impossible to ob tain an interview with the Royal Duke for such a purpose at that afflicting season: The painter sug gested that if he might' be, allowed to catch a glimpse as their Royal Master passed through the hall, he could gain an exact likeness. The servants of the establishment were, however, not to be moved either by bribes or entreaties, and the painter, thus foiled, bid defiance to the vigilance of the Royal guards, by seeking an opportunity " where all men are equal and equally privileged." One thought alone saved him from despair, and he told the domestics' he knew how he could get it, and he would not be foiled in his resolution. Accordingly, he repaired to the church which his Royal Highness gene rally attended, on the following Sunday, now only a few weeks back. Having fixed himself - in an ad vantageous position, he awaited the arrival of the Royal visitor. The painter, ignorant of the person of his Majesty, but nevertheless delighted by the approach of his portly object, seized the opportunity afforded during the morning service, and rapidly made what he considered an admirable portrait of his future Sovereign. To the triumph of a faithful sketch, he added the delight of evading the vigi lance of the inexorable domestics at the Palace, and resolved on exhibiting his work as an aggravating trophy of his skill and perseverance. On the wings of delight and revenge he repaired to the palace. " Here it is," said he, in an air of triumph ; I have got it-1 have got it, notwithstanding all your ob structions • I told you I would; and I have." Saying which, before the astonished domestics had recovered their surprise at the portentous manner in which they were accosted, the portfolio was opened, and the por trait triumphantly held forth. The effect was irresistible; the servants could not refrain front hearty laughter, to the no small mortification of the 'painter; for the object repre sented a faithful likeness of the jolly landlord of the inn at Hampton Court, who had that day been mistaken for his now Royal master. Whether be had occupied his Royal Highness's usual seat, or some wag had imposed on the unhappy limner by pointing out the wrong object, or, in the absence of the Duke, the painter's, like the poet's, " eye with fine phrenzy rolling," had instinctively fallen on the " biggest," instead of greatest man in Europe, is uncertain; but his present Majesty, to whose ear the story soon made its way, has more than once related the anecdote, with an elegance and effect which has suffered much in its transmission to us, though we are the first to give it publicity in our gleanings from high life.—From the Lady's Magazine, No.. 6. CRUSADES JUSTIFIED. No war is just which is not defensive. By that principle the exp e di t i ons f or t h e recovery o f the Holy Land must, like all other wars, be tried. It must be owned, at the outset, that the Europeans of that ago did not conform to the technical , rules of our international law. They did not make a formal demand of reparation for wrong, and of security against danger. They did not inquire whether the possession of Pa lestine could directly add to their means of de fence. Nor did they Content themselves with a moderate succour to the Greek empire, as some modern philosophers have required. But, is the disregard of technical rules always attended by violations of their principle ? There was no doubt that embassy and negociation would be vain. It was lawful for them to defend the safe exercise of their religious worship in Palestine and it was for them to determine where they could best defend any of their rights which were either violated or threatened. The avowed prin ciple of all Mahometans, that they are entitled to universal monarchy,—a principle consecrated by their religion, and enforced by their law,— might, in itself, be considered as a perpetual de claration of war against states of a different .faith. But in the eleventh century this insolent preten sion was maintained , by arms, with a success very alarming to Christendom. About that time Europe, in different, parts of her frontier, showed the sense of danger by beginning to resist the in vaders. The expeditions against the northern. and Sarmatian pagans manifested the like vague and confused fear in an unwarrantable form— The tottering state of the Greek empire, and the successive invasion from Tartars, which renewed the valour and barbarism of the southern. Maho' metans, combined to threaten the eastern frontier of Christendom. The Mahometans acted on one principle, and as one body. The Christians were justified in acting, and compelled to act with the like union. According to the most rigid principles of: international law, an attack on any Maltometan territory was an act of self-de fence : it was the Anemia of securing themselves against attack. The European rulers could un dertake no such perilous enterprise without the hearty, and enthusiastic concurrence of their people. Nothing but a Strong feeling could have bound together all the scattered power of a feudal force, It .was lawful to rouse their spirit against the wrong-doers, and excite a zeal'necessary for the effectual exercise of just defence. The only means by which these ends could be reitebed were an appeal to the fellow-feeling and religions sentiments of the body of their subjects. These grand springs of hitinan action we re ma d e to - act by an expedition for the safety of the pilgrims to Jerusalem, who could not be really safe without the establishthent of a Christian authority ill Palestine. No cold representation of distant and disputable dangers could have put such masses in motion. But were not the feelings of the people per fectly justifiable ? Is it true that nations, while they may maintain at the point of the sword - •• i• forbidden to defend the undisturbed aerie of religion, which may (and if it be real, muilhil their dearest and most precious interest? WI assault on their territory cannot more wound 0 , degrade them than outrage towards what Illt! most reverence. They had acquired, by an uq older than Mahometan power, a right peacek to visit Bethlehem and Calvary, and their rulo were morally bound to protect that right. As every state may maintain its honourV cause it is essential to its safety, tio Euror a right to defend her common honour, wb," consisted materially in resisting, or Lifertiuo chastisement, attacks on her common ' Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopedia, .....
