LITBRATURE.

Memoirs of the Right Honourable Sir Robert Peel,
Bart., M.P., 4-e. Published by the Trustees of
his Papers, Lord Kamm+ (now Earl Stanhope) and
the Right Hon. EDWARD CARDwzu., M.E.-
Part I. The Roman Catholic Question, 1828-9.

London: John Murray, 1868.
The first hundred pages of this Memoir or cura-
tive are more instructive than edifying. Had the
whole volume been of the same stamp it might ap-
propriately have been designated "Reasons tar sty
Ratting." But with the commencement of the
Cisco election it acquires a deeper and more regrow-
ing interest, which continues unabated, or rather goes
on increasing, to the close. Altogether the volume
is an invaluable contribution to the history of Great
Britain in the first half of the nineteenth oentury.
It is a truthful presentation of events and men who
have passed from the stage of human existence. It
is the voice of a statesman of no ordinary powers and
experience speaking from the tomb to the rulers of
Europe in our own day. It is an invaluable legacy
from one who " though dead still speeketh."
We learn from the melees that Mob, the name-
roes manuscripts bequeathed to the charge of Lord
Stanhope and Mr. Cardwell, are "two narratives or
memoirs drawn up by Sir Robert Peel, in his own
handwriting, and placed together ; the first on the
Roman Catholic question, the second oa the Corn
Laws.' These (at least he first of them, which is
sow before us) appear to have been prepared in the
year 1848 or 1849. There is also a third memoir
among the papers, which appears to hays been drawn
up at an earlier period, and which relates to the for-
mation of Sir Robert's ministry in 1834 and 1836, and
comprises the letters that were despatched to him at
Rome. These three memoirs the editors have deter-
mised to present to the public as the first instalment
of the Peel Papers.
It is obvious, from the tone of the exordium of the
memoir relating to the Roman Catholic question,
that we are to regard it, and its twin narrative on the
Corn-law question, as the writer's appeal to the judg-
ment of posterity on what he °moldered the two
most importaat incidents in his political career.
They are, in fact, his vindication for having twits in
his lite yielded up cherished convictions under the
irresistible premiere of events. They form together
one work; they are pictures of • political Canute
forced to recede from an untenable position by
the Tieing tide of political opinion. But though they
are apologetic in their character, we are convinced,
after a deliberate perusal of the first, that the author
has throughout striven to view his own conduct as with
the dispassionate eyes of en impartial spectator, and
that he bas emeeedird in this difficult undertaking to
a wonderful degree. He is fully entitled to say :
I propene to connect the doraments by a brief narrative
of
events, and I shall probably be ia pilled, by feelings
which it is difficult for me to restrain, to eminent upon
these events and their mosequesoes ; but it is span the
doeseasou themielves, and sot upon the narrative or eons-
emote, that I rel for tbe esplasetlou of my motives and
the vindication elmy eendset.
It is my firm eon that set one of these &casts
was writtes COI • view SI Subsequent publication. They
relate and Cane lialealliMerreeees as they sok plan from
day :0 day, and Vey thieelely rats the feelings sad im-
pressiou to CSC sash essurreares eats ries.
We may observe that by confining his narrative
to the events of the years 1828.9, Sir Robert Peel
has failed to pat the whole of his case before the
reader. It is impossible to arrive at a final judgment
on his character and conduct until we are in posses-
sion of an equally full sod explicit account of the cir-
cumstances under which he separated from Mr. Can-
ning sad adhered to the Eldon party in 1828. We
can wait, however, until his literary executors find
time to favors is with the documents relating to
that earlier and not lees important, epoch in his
lefelery; for the everts recorded in the present volume
pews= a deep interest in themselves.
We have already spoken in what may appear to
some a tone of undue levity of the first hundred
pages of the volume. We rah, however, find no words
that convey a more exact notion of the impression
they made upon us. They present a picture more
veritable than pleasing of a hollow, conscious con-
ventionalism, clinging4oari:pearanoes from which all
life and vitality had rted. They are occupied
with the details of the tion of the Wellington
administration in 1828, and of the negotiations and
d_bates about the Test and Corporation Acts—the
preliminary skinniek to the great Roman Catholic
battle of Armageddon, with all its root and
deny. In them Mr. Peel appears as the clever
champion of the ideas of his Alma Maier—
of ideas impressed upon him when at college,
and kept alive by associating with ci-descant
tutors, who had ensiled from that grub state
of existence into the Cull-blown latter or bishops.
Neither in himself nor in his episcopal correspondents
can we detect any trace of an earnest conviction.
The passions of a protestant prelacy were scarcely
stirred by a mutest with mere nonconformists. They
were reluctant to yield up one tittle of their prece-
dents over dissenters ; but this was merely a dancing-
master kind of reluctance. They felt they were
struggling for matters of mere outward show. Their
hopeful pope' felt it still more strongly, and expressed
it with mom of levity. The contrast between their
confidential annimunicetioas and the grave speeches
they were asking in parliament is startling. They
are more desirous them the French noblesse on the
eve of the Revehation. bet they are quite as frivolous.
In a letter le the &Amp of Oxford (Llojd) Abet
meritorious young elnesnmee, Robert Peel, speaks
this irreverently of the mem of his oratorical glories:
"The best argument—ceded. I am speaking always
of Hones of Commons argemeeb—of arguments for
people who know very little of the matter—care not
much about it, half of wham have dined, or are going
to dinner—and are only forellely struck by that which
they instantly comprehend—the best argument is,
&e. On the subject of declarations and oaths he is
particularly insti native :—" It certainly would be
very edifying to administer to midshipmen, young
ensigns in the Guards, state trumpeters, all the
King's household servants, all gaugers and tide-
waiters, a solemn declaration that they would
not me their influence to the injury of
the Promtant Church." And again :—" I much
doubt whether half of the Cabinet Ministers have
ever taken the oath of allegiance." What follows
has a curious historical interest at this moment
"As the bill" [[for the repeal of the test laws)" was
sent from the Commas, the declaration was not re-
quired to be made ' on the tree faith of a Christian.'
These words, objected to at the time by Lord Holland,
were inserted in the Lords, at the suggestion of Lord
Eldon and the Bishop of Landaff." Yet of these
things, at which he laughed in private, even with
bishops, Mr. Peel spoke with the most decorous
solemnity in public. And so do many members of
parliament at the present day, in all probability with
exactly the same amount of sincerity. 'This portion
of the Memoir is • terrible blow to the Spooner school
of politic.
But the Clare election introduced the champion of
conventional modes to a graver school of experience.
The correspondence from the beginning of that
struggle to the close of the volume presents • striking
picture of • country on the verge of a revolu-
tion. Had the forms of the English constitution,
and the habits which that constitution impressed
upon English statesmen, admitted of the popular
excitement being grappled with after the fashion of
continental despotisms, the same scenes which were
witeeseed in Germany and Italy in 18489, might
have been witnessed in Greet Britain twenty years
sooner. Bat the weakens of our government saved ne.
The promptitude with 'babas Duke of Wellington
and Mr. Peel dimmed tam trim state of stairs,
sad the almost isidiesthe sagacity with which
day anelmemi to tams, entitle them to a high
plasm main tree detemmee. The following remarb,
with whist Ms egmative closes, show how meet
Peel Whim& by passing *mega this Itid p they

are fall of the mellowed wisdom of a philosophical
statesman :

Thu taresinatsd the parliamentary atflict on these he-
portsat measures. I eaasot advert to that conflict, even

But the charge preferred by those whose favour aad good-

had without soy snakiest reason, nay that I had fees
nsaillashnous sad airworthy motives, counselled the alma-
domain, of resbtaace, which it would have bees easy, u
well as win, to continue twanged.
I mast leave it to others to determine. after weighing the

to which the lapse of time will so doubt give access, who-
thee, at the period that concession was determined on, the
naloas in favour of concession as opposed to continued
tied uncompromising resinous did or did not preponderate.
Of my own motives sad Janette= I may be allowed to
speak.
Pusillanimity— the wart of moral courage— would
have promoted a very different course from that which I
pursued. If I bad been swayed by any unworthy (ten—
ths fear of obloquy—the fear of responsibility—the fear
of parliamentary cocaiet—l might have concealed ray real
opinion—might have sheltered myself under the dishonest
plea of a take oonstateney, and have gained the hcUow ap-
plause which is lavished sue those who inflexibly adhere
to as opinion ones pronowned, though altered eircumstaacee
nisyjastify and donned the medal:oboe or abudeamsst
of lt.
If I had been stimulated by personal ambition—that sort
'of ambition, I mean which is cloteat with the lead of a
political party, and le pommies of official power—l might
have eaouaraged aad deferred to the scruples of thesoversigs,
sad might have appealed to the religious feelings of the
country to rally round the throne for the maintenarne of,
the protestant religion, sad the preemies of the royal con-
mime.

From. the imputation of ether motives still more
sawarthy, the documents I sow produce will, I
toast, sufaos to protest my memory. I can with
teeth alarm, as I do solemnly alarm in the presence of
Almighty dod, "to whom all hearts be open, all desires
known, sad from whom ae secrete as bid," that in advising
and promoting the 111111NI/11 of 1829 I was swayed by co fear
except the leer of public selamity, and that I acted throtigh-
oat on a deep en:ivied= that those nosivires were sot only
conducive to the general welfare, bat that they had become
lmaerstively asemeary in order to avert from Interests whist'
had a special claim apes my suprtt—the intereett of the
'Ann* sad of institution sonneeted with the shock—ea
imminent and iscreasiag danger.
It may be that I was unempeionsly influenced by a:Wive'
lees pertectly pare and diaisterested—by the secret satisfies-
don of being,

«--whoa the waves want high

Bat at any este it was no ignoble sabitlos which prompted
as to bear the bract of a dellperite 0058iet, and at the NUN
till. to submit to the sacrifire of everything deer to a pub-
lic mine empties the approval of his owa annosieris, and
the hops of ultimata justice. RODIAT POOL.
Strange that oes who had so profited by expe-
rience should twice in after life have repeated the
same error se that which exposed him to so mash
oontumely in 1828 9.
It would have been still mere strange if, at such a
momentous crisis, George IV. had failed to evince his
inherent, inveterate feebleness and falsehood. The
following extract proves that most contemptible of
monarchs to have been consistent in his frivolous
meanness to the lest :

I took sty seat on Tuesday, the 3rd of blereb. We had
eontinued our delthersdess is cabinet up to that time, and
hal agreed with parfait asenisaity au the general outline,
mid indeed es the details, of the several measures to be
proposed to parliament. We acted wider the impression
that we had the mention (the relaetant sertainly, bet still
the oemplete sanction) of the King for our pecistedisge.
Meg *axiom that there should not be a moment of us-
memory delay, I gave notice on the ird of March that I
would at Thursday, the 6th, all the attentims of the Home
et Cosmos' to thst part et the speech from the thrum
utilise' related to the state of d, and the removal of the
civil ditabilities wader which the Roma* eatholisa laboured.
