TH : E WIIIGS AND;ili4; As to the Whigs., we plaiiily , andin the face of the People of England, deny that the Cou'fitry looks to them in any treat emergency. The experience of - nearly fifty years has proved, to the people of England, the real character of this party; haughty and pusilanimous, rash and short-sighted % neiV demo , crats when out of place, insolent aristocrats, ,when In—lgnorant of the noble qualities of their own countilittrr,'und - eleprdciat. ors of their glory, while they are ever vehement and ready to applaud the efforts, and magnify the successes of foreigners. Such are the men whom, we are told, England is to regard with veneration and affection! If we know anything . of the nature of our countrymen, we say, that there ciiiinot . b - e any sym pathy between them and these un-English .self-olected champions of England's cause.—LONDON TIMES, AUG. 21, 1830. , ( From the London Press.) With a view to the General Election, no doubt, the ad herents of the ministers are putting forth - their claims to public confidence in various ways. We formerly alluded to the querulous article in the last Edinburgh Review:, A pamphlet has just appeared, entitled " Whig Govern ment, ,or 'Two Years' Retrospect ;" in which the services of ministers' are somewhat . pompously blazoned. The pr4luctiOn has a very demi-official tone, and speaks; with great - confidence, riot only of . what Government has done, but of what, it intends to do. The pamphlet tells us, for instance, that "arrangenientsareeven now in progress for a further rethiction in the estimates , of the ensuing year, to the amount of one million and a' half." We heartily pray that this may be true; though it hardly chimes in with Lord Althorp's late desponding declara tion, that he did not see how any further reductions were to be effected. The, writer refers to the three pledges of the'whigs on acciepting,office,—Peace, ;Parliamentary Reform, and Re-i trenehnient ; and cOntends, that all these have been fully redeemed. On the subject of Peace, the writer takes credit to the Ministers for having preserved it. This boast sounds ra-1 ther awkwardly at a moment .when a combined Renell and English fleet have actually assembled for the purpose of making a descent on Holland; at it moment, too, when three of the greatest, powers of Europe; our co-mediators between _Holland and:Belgium,lhavedeclared their dis-ap,' probation of enforcing their proposals by. bombs and ba)H onets!—Spectator. THE first step to war has been ta.leni and, although we hold a war with Bottaid to be a very unimportant affair in rise J, yet the consequences .tbat may. arise.from:# are far from being without deep and serious interest. An embargo has been laid on all Dutch vessels within, or coming into our ports, and a prohibition has been put •on British vessels clearing oat for the Netherlands. Our fleet will soon be on the waters, with its virgin flag float ing within view of William the Obstinate. The coast is exceedingly difficult, and all our vessels have to fear are the dangers of a shore upon which the 'oldest pilot cannot ensure security. As to a battle with the flat-bottomed boats of the Dutch, the notion is preposterous. We go to war with Holland, as children do with card soldiers—: blowing up and blowing down at pleasure.; and lingering ; over the, victory which we can 'consummate when .we choose. Atlas. We have fairly embarked in a war against Holland. The question now to be asked is,—how, being fairly in, • are we to get out again ? The other question which will' also be asked—namely, why did we get in ?—is subordi nate to this. We can easily imagine the French troops in motion, and the citadel •of Antwerp surrendered toy their batteries, backed by the cannon of the combined fleet. We can conceive Venluo occupied by Prussia, come of Antwerp what may. So far the course is plain. But will the Dutch King, when driven out of Antwerp, be more disposed to treat with his late subjects than be lore ? and, if he then refuse, as he may, what forther steps are to be taken ? If we do not follow up our blow, ;it has been dealt to no purpose; if we do, we shall n o : longer be contending, even in name, for Belgium, but against Holland. The difficulty in which we are placed is enhanced by the secession of the other three powers. We cannot see the force of their argument. They withdraw because, ,leaving commenced as Mediators, they will not end as 'belligerents. But if the mediation was to' be effectual, it was necessary for. the mediators to enforce their award. There is no superior court to enforce it. From the' be ginning the powers Must have seen, that their interfer ence in the disputes between ;Belgium and: nonand could , come to a peaceful issue only by the unlimited submis sion of those two powers ;• and that unlimited submission could only be expected-from a thorough' conviction in the .parties, that, if mt. 'voluntarily - rendered, it would be compelled. Would it have been better to leave' the two parties to fight it out? It has been said, that a general war has been prevented by the interfeienee ,the five powers. This is assuming, that the forces of Belgium; and Holland were so nearly balanced that the contest must have been lengthened: and doubtful. But what if; A general war have been delayed 'only ? Are the pro-' spects of peace more or less t remote were such a war now {1 to break forth, than, in that event, they would have been two v ears ago ? These are questions which are not easily solVed. After all, we suppose we must leave the case to the chapter of aociclents !--Speetator.- This is not the time to discuss - the question of infer rer lence or non-interference. No matter 'from ,what cause, Great Britain:is entangled in the settlement of the Ba ' tavii-Belgi - O question. - . - We will not now - e - Ven on the propriety of the present step of coercion by a naval blockade. All other considerations are, for the present, sunk in the paramount necessity of Vindicating ,the premacy of the power of Great. Britain. This country,: -before-now, has-engaged with greater odds than thecor :tinent can .now array against her. And we, are'ready to do so again.

The general complaint, and the corn- . :thiin jeer, has been, that .Ministers have not adopted a de cided. tone ; that their mediation has been no more than . a, eAreceting of never-ending,: still beginning, Protocols. , Eat such complaints are really their best comniendaticn.i They'lliti , .e made every effort,- adcpted. every plan . ; 'they.

But Holland, instead of being an asj, sailant of ours, only did us the mischief of purchasing „our, iron, cotton and woollen goods, cOal,‘ &c. ; and we pre-:. pare to blockade her coasts, to cut off one of the best out.- lets for the productions of our struggling manufacturers; and all this because we will not allow four millions of Bel.; glans to settle their own dispute with two millions of Dutchmen !--I,forning Herald. The ministerial journals of the morning and of the evening chaunt aduet, responsive to thefinale of the Con-, ference. Their harmony is marvellous. The Confer ; epee is at an end, they say, because the Conference has accomplished its labours. Accompliehed its labours ! What did it undertake to accomplish? The peaceful ad; justment of the separation of Holland and Belgium. For this was Protocol on' Protocol succesSively piled; for this, ostensibly; was the sage PahnerSton called into the secret councils of the simple Talleyrand. , But where is this peaceful adjustment, which, if the Conference have accomplished 'its labours, must be in existence ? No the Confbrence which met for the peaceful adjustment of the differences between Holland "and Belgitim has aecom-, plished its labouri by separating---:three of the parties re tiring to rest and non intervention, while two of them are left to action ; that is to say, to an attack on Holland by naval and military forces. notable'niethod this of ac complishing peaceful labours and avoiding war ! If the nference found they could not accomplish what they had met to accomplish, viz., a peaceful adjust ment, they ought to have separated with a declaration, that the arrangement they had resolved upon would hot be received by the parties in the dispute. It they thought proper, and were justified in proceeding further in the bu siness, a new Conference should have met to determine what should be done to compel a settlement of the , differ= ences which existed, and, by their elistence, endangered the tranquillity of Europe; but that a peace-arranging Conference should conclude, by some parties retiringand others going to war, is the most extraordinary 'determi nation, to be called an accomplishment of its labours, that . ever the world heard of!—Albion. Orie of the most singular, and, certainly, the least com plimentary feature of the war, is the peculiar contempt and acrimony with which the ministerial papers flaunt about coercmg •the Dutch King an his merchants. Time was when Bonaparte, with a powerless sarcasm, thought fit to stigmatize this as the shopkeeping nation. We accepted the soubriquet, and the shopkeeping na tion' not long afterwards, encaged the insulting foe, and heard him, in his whine for pity, change the note to that of magnanimous England. The overhearing arrogance of a whig aristocracy, domineering over King and peo ple, may, and does, despise the ,honourable calling of merchant; but we venture to tell the pride-swoln block heads, stilt-mounted for theinoment, that their whole vo cabulary could not have furnished a title in which the Dutch would more delight,' and in the honour of which the English nation would more proudly -share and sym pathize with' them. We tell the ministerial minions who use this sneering language, that England glories her se lf in being a nation of both shopkeepers and merchants; and that she is content to own the honest and honourable Hollander as her predecessor and her teacher in those arts which have led civilization in their train, and of which liberty and the British Constitution are the eldest born. We tell them, that the character of an English merchant is a passport of nobility through the whole world, whe ther of barbarism or advancement; and that the charac ter of Dutch merchant is of equal worth, with the addi , - tion that he boasts a pedigree of more remote antiqUity, and that he was the first to'emblazon, for' our lionourab:e emulation, the glorious armorial bearings of _which in dustry and the bee are the crest and the shield. Let us hear no more of these insulting ebidlitions of, aristocratic whiggery against the honourabl e an d uni— versal calling'of Holland and England I--Guardian and Public Ledger. The number of Dutch ships are very limited, being chiefly confined to small vessels with butter, cheese,•tels, &c. ; the large proportion' of the other andmore valuable shipments being carried on 'in the vessels under the l3ri tish, flag, The chief injury Will, therefore, be i n fli c t e d upon the merchants and shipowners of this country. The Whig• Ministers, in their si re de to- harrass _our oktitily, will find their measures recoil upon the distressed Eng lish shipowners. The public - feeling in the city, of, dis content and disgust at these new measures, is very strong ; but thedevoted shipowners have been so long oppressed by the unwise measures' of the Free-trade system, that they now . fall into a state of despondency, in place of re sisting.and boldly taking every measure tOplace, them selves,in ainore favoUrabrepositiori - , Calling public,meet ings, petitioning the King,both Houses of. Parliament, and the Miiii4ters.

Our Ministerial journals , think that nothing is more ' simple than declaringan 'embargo Om Order in Coun cil, according ,to tthctri, is all, that is necessary ; but they will, ere long-, find 'that we shall be called • upon; if we persist, to. discuss questions widely remote from that which we have permitted to involve us in a war.

The nation which has acted as the Dutch have done may well appeal to Providence. No country at present. - stands in -so nunourable- an • attitude as Holland; and William I. may have the consolation of looking back to the-histOry of his house;‘ which, under the first Prince of Orange and our glorious William 111. withstood, and finally, triumphed over coalitions•ns flagitious. .princi plc, and, in all human appearance, as irresistible, as that which is now iniquitously bandied against Standard.

What will France have gained by the War ? There is no. purpose which France for centuries has so constantly kept in view as the annexation of Belgium to her territory. Royalty and Republicanism, the. Directory and the Em.: , Pire, • Louis Capet arid Louis-Philippe, all have per 6eived, what their neighbours till now nave perceived no less distinetly, how flattering it would be to the vanity; and, how useful to the ambition .of France to advance he r boundary to the Rhine: . How far such a design will b e : served by the proinotion, for the present; of the interest s .01 the.new.sov.ereignty .of ,Belgium, let those W- 11- 9 - have watched the movements of French diplomacy during th e last twelve months determine. Moreover, war, for what-. ever object, is necessary to the French nation. The un settled ThrOne, the Unstable ministry, the restless ambi tion of the people, all invite war. ExCept by war the King cannot retain his crown, nor the Ministers remain in office, nor the populace be withheld from rebellion. What will Belgium have gained by the war? Her profit is Obvious. She . will have secured to her subjects the: passage of the Scheldt t - On the - payment of merely nominal -duties y she-will-have confirmed to the use of her - citizens' the canals and roads which . have been made by Dutch men at the expenie of Dutch purses; she will have com pleted the. integrity of her territory by the accession of Antwerp, to which she has as much right as England could assert over Jericho or Laputa ; and, which is more than all, she will finally have established the independ ence of her soil; and it will be undeniable that Belgium is Belgian, until it shall please the doctrinaires or their. successors to make her French. But what will - Eng land have gained by the War ? Anxious for peace, she, will have been hurried into an unnecessary strife ; 'load ed with debt, she will have seen new burdens added' to those she already bore; a' free- and a Protestant, country; she- will -have supported bigotted and ' Po pish Belgium against free arid Protestant Holland; a producing and manufacturing country, she will have ;aggrandized the producers and manufacturers of Bel gium, and impoverished the traders and purchasers of Holland; - she. wilt have opened- to- all nations the unre strained navigation of the Scheldt, in which Holland, for, a thousand reasons, would give her, if she could give her, a preference; -and she-will nave guaranteed to Belgium that-communication with the Rhine by which Belgium may, at any time, throw open to all nations the full ad, vantages of the German markets; and, finally, she will . have given Antwerp to Belgium, and, in giving Ant werp to Belgium, she Will have given Antwerp to France. We have unifbrnily-condeinned the injustice, the tyranny, the perfidy, of the Dutch war. If the ends proposed to be gained were clear and magnificent, we should yet repeat the condemnation. Let us be convinced that our quarrel is just before we calculate what we may win by its prose cation. But, for the day, let us omit the consideration of right and wrong. Are the benefits to be won by the war sufficient to recommend - the pulling of a trigger ?
