LONDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 21.

Poorts who like to call a spade a spade ought
to approve the style at least of the letter of Mr.
COBDEN, an extract from which we published
yesterday. The writer does not mince his words,
but whether he describes • sneaking delator in
Paris or a perverse mischief-maker in London he
shows him his true picture. Mr. COBDEN has
evidently written under a strong sense of the in-
justice that has been done him. Whether he is
a party to the publication of his letter is
a matter on which our contemporary, the
Post, in whose columns we have found it,
is not explicit. As to the terms in
which he castigates thaw who publish in news-
papers the unguarded remarks which are allowed
to fall in private conversation, nobody in this
country will think them a bit too strong. The
practice complained of is not an English one, and
we earnestly hope that Mr. Coitiaree just denun-
ciation will operate to check those tenden-
cies towards its imitation by our newspapers
which have within these few years become
too apparent. The wider reflections in which
he has indulged could not, we think, have
been intended for the eyes of his countrymen.
We do not think, for instance, it should be
said that there is a vast deal of systematic
lying in England about the French armaments.
That there has been considerable delusion is
certain, as the poor men who went from our
yards to Cherbourg to build imaginary war-
ship, found to their cost Excited apprehensions
have grown almost to monomania, and no alarmist
report has been too absurd to find eager believers.
But with us every statement is published, subject
to instant and public correction, and there is no
country in the world where attempted systematic
deception has so little chance of success. The fact
is, not that error has not been openly encountered
with truth, but that the public mind is from time to
time brought into conditions in which it cannot sad-
milate truth of a particular kind. The feeling pro-
duced here by the policy of France in Savoy was
not unreasonable or unjust, and it prepared men's
minds on this aide to believe in other aggressions.
In this suspicious mood every new story about
French armaments was believed, and the statis-
tical fact, could not obtain due consideration.

Mr. Coterie, of course, is quite safe in predicting
a great and sudden reaction in the public mind.
As long as men listen to the inexorable logicians
on either aids, as long as it is held that we must
either trust for peace entirely to our mutual
interest in the exchange of commodities, or
else &IMMO an attitude of distrust which
excludes all international concert, whether in
making commercial treaties or in upholding the
interests of peace and justice abroad, so long we
shall live in a period of reactions. But we never
follow this pretended logic in the affairs of common
life ; we rather take a wide survey of all the
facts, ask on the one hand what is unavoidable and
must be borne, and on the other what is possible,
and having ascertained these points we strive after
the utmost attainable good. If we were to do so
now with respect to our present relations with
France we should act more wisely than if we
took the advice either of Mr. CODDIN or of
Mr. Hownse.

It is satisfactory to pans from these considera-
tions to Mr. COIDZN't account of the progress of
the convention which is to complete the Treaty.
Here the honourable gentleman speaks with autho-
rity. He says that up to the present moment
he has experienced nothing but candour and
straightforwardness in his dealings with the
French Government, and that he has no reason to
duubt that matters will be brought to &satisfactory
result. Mr. Cosner has the misfortune to differ
from the majority of his countrymen on some im-
portant matters of high policy, but we have never
seen it alleged that he is deficient in plain common
sense. He cannot but know whether he has beea
met honestly or with chicane. The declaration be
now makes never ought, for our honour, to have
been necessary. For nine-tenths of our country-
men we believe it is totally uncalled for. The
allegations to the contrary, reiterated although they
have been with superabundant embellishment, have
been so evidently the weapons of personal and party
strife that they have had little effect upon the re-
flecting public. Nothing in the recent history of
political controversy Is comparable to the disin•
tenuousness with which the French Treaty has been
discumed by some whore supvrior intelligence and
vast influence should have been pledges of a more
scrupulous course. Ilr.t the time is past when the
public could be deceived in a matter respecting
which it is worth while to ascertain the truth.
The attempts to bully the public out of
the just satisfaction with which it at first received
the Treaty have failed before the calm and patient
good sense of the nation. The errors and imper-
fections which disfigured the negotiation of
the Treaty, the political differences which arose
so soon after its announcement, and the delays

which still attend the adjustment el its ooh
cated details, have rapidly divested it ol the Wait'
enthusiasm which greets every 0011 cause
amend'
sooner to betray it; but wherever the pacific and
humanising influence of commerce, silently worlds('
in thousands of hearts, is appreciated, wherever
the material interests of this country are under-
stood, there the merits of the statesmen who de-
vised and executed this Treaty meet with honest,
sincere, and increming recognition.

A RKIVAL or J. 0. LEVEN, ESQ., M. P.' AND J. A.
EeQ., M.P., lie GAtwAf.—On Friday morning!
placards were posted through the town, ann that
the above-named gentlemen would arrive in Galway y the
four o'clock train, and accordingly at that hour a lame
umber of pergolas assembled at the terminus. The ships
ta the rondo were decked with flags, and banners were
placed acmes the streets in some places. On the snivel of
the train Hera. Lever and Roebuck, accompanied by some
ladies, tame their meets with the Rev. P. Daly, on • carriage,
and with a hied playing in front, the crowd moved slowly
through the town. On their arrival at the residence of the
Rev. Hr. Daly, the latter gentleman stood upon the top
of the =rise and addressed the crowd. He said that in
conferriog such an honour upon the two lion, gentlemen be
