LONDON. MONDAY, DEC. 11.
Tile quite evident Men the tone of the ministerial and
aristocratic press:. that the parliamentary melon of
1849 is to be ushered in es that of 1848 was, by a war
budget. This was the very time last year, when the
lame organs of the press began to blow their military
tramps% when the southern coast of England was
discovered for the first time than forty=
lamentably defenceless, when London was
to be but a wealthy victim, tricked out to tempt the
spoiler, and when poor Loom PRILIPTR was depicted
es an ogre, with everything in readiness to steam to
Hastings, and take military poseession of the metro-
polis. On the strength of all these bubbles and base-
less lies, Lord JOHN ROPULL actually proposed to
call forth the militia, and to add another million and •
half to the estimates.
It mutt be recollected how our Mend, the Times,
joined the concert, and beat its big drum about French
invasian and (*demeans emote, until it perceived
that the public, instead of being alarmed, began to I
laugh. Then it began to hedge, and half mock, half
encourage, the alarm. At present, however, the good
English public seems inclined to be serious. Foreign
turmoil occasion it no little alarm ; and instead of
drawing the right conclusiem—that the more foreign
countries are embarrassed at home, the Is. they can
threaten or embarrass se—people are too prone
to believe that England is menaced by Osman
war or French elections.
Now, Joins Butt may depend upon this, that there
are two moods in which he is very much given to in-
dulge, and in which, when he does indulge, his rulers
never fail to filch his pockets and devour his sub-
stance. These times are when he is in either the
exuberant enjoyment of prosperity or under the de-
pretwing influence of terror and. despair. Look at the
history of past years, end observe when activity of
trade and speculation has swelled out privets prate
and the public revenue, the result bee ever been
augmentative of expenditure. Or observe equally the
epochof pilitical panics, stirrings, and menaces abroad,
then too the eritnates have taken a ntride. Now, JOHN
Beta. should be warned against either imprudence. He
should never show himself confident and happy, or
terrified and panic-stricken, towards the opening of
a parliamentary session. For, se sure as he does, he
