LONDON, MONDAY. JUNE 24.

Tees principal and the reiterated sophism on which
the amphibious enemies of the foreign policy of the
whig administration base their arguments, Is • con-
founding of the two terms and the two parties, con-
stitutional and democratic. The high tones of oppo-
sitions are plain and intelligible. They deprecate
constitutional government and its progress any and
everywhere, except at home, where they personally
profit by it. Bat such Politicians es these have
neither bold nor voice in the country, and the organs
which desire to give them force are compelled to
assume a liberalise' which they do not feel—a
Mimi which dors not prevent them, however, from
denouncing as revolutiorary and subversive every
attempt ou the part of the enslaved people of despotic
countries to obtain ever so moderate a portioh of
freedom.
Fifteen-sireenthe of this country would ell
hands at toe successful assertion of their liberties an
rights by these people; and this not merely from the
desire which every generous man must have to see
other nations free as his own, but because the deve-
lopment of • middle class, and its industry and its
freedom, creates in other motet's classes, and inte-
rests, s-d ideas, congenial to our own. Wherever
there is a free country, there Eogland may expect to
find friend,; there it may expect to find cus'omers
and to meet with reciprocity of trade; and if the
agricultur.sts, the femme, and landlords of this coun-
try have one interest more vital and 1 teasing
than another, it is precisely that of seeing the end of
serfdom, of despotiopovereigoty and landlordism on
those shores of the Baltic, the Mediterranean, and the
Black Sea, to which we look for provision supply. The
protectionists may fear that the English farmer can-
not compete with the serf; bat they know be cannot
IN undersold by the cereal productions of a free and
wealthy people.
English interests, whether moral or religion.,
political re economical, are for the extension of
liberty all over the world, not in that extreme degree
and by those violent jumps which lead to nothing
durable, but by the temperate progress which consti-
tutional can best ensure. This English policy

has, in oar opinion, the carver-stone and cardinal
principle of the present Whig administration. We
wilt not say that they have not committed faults, and
derogated from this great principle in Portugal, in
the lonian is;ands, and elsewhere. We have attacked
and will attack them on this point ; but oa the whole
their tendencies have been liberal, and to overthrow
them for these tendencies would be to inetall in their
places a rtactionary and despot hugging administra-
tion.

We have now to choose between one and the other
—between a PALMERSTON and an ABERDEEN. For
every one must be aware, thst even if Lord CLARR.N-
D IN, or any other whig, were put in the place
of the present Foreign Smeary as the re-
snit of the onslaught of the House of Lords,
it is plain, that he conid no longer pursue a whig or a
liberal policy. He must chime in with the " three
mighty powers." He must do, as it pleases the French
at Athens, as it pleases Russia at S:. Petersbur:, and
as it pleases Austria in Italy and Sicily. So evident
indeed is this, that there is cot the least schism or
difference in the cabinet; even the most timid and
conservative of that cabinet admitting that the pre-
sent triumph of the enemies of Lord PALMERSTON,
would put such a total extinguisher upon a liberal
foreign policy in England, that nothing but a popular
revolotion would put the country in a strong, and
natural, and honourabie position again.
We believe, however, that those amongst us who
really lose despotic governments are few. But there
exists a poeocosrante school which says, what to us ars
the revolutions, the advances, or retrocession' of con-
tinental states ? AU that England requires is to be
on good terms with whatever is uppermost abroad.
If Kosturn wins, lot us hail him as a b-other ; if
IitYNAL: is the victor, let us congratulate and ap-
plaud him in the midst of his executions. It is easy
for this school of all pc triage, and no principle to blame
what has been done, and to lay down what should
have been done after all is over. But statesmen
cannot be prophets, nor can they be each waiters on
time as to suspend and defer opintoa. Lord PALMER-
FTON, in common with every man who has a soul
above the calibre of a diplomatic pimp, did but
hope ad believe that the movements in filly and in
Germany would lead to the introduction and este-
bli.liment of some degree of coostitational freedom.
That he did believe this, constitutes the crime
for which be is now plotted against and
arraigned. Austria cannot forgive his hopes
of Italian freedom Russia cannot pardon
his respect for Hungarian independer.m. And
France, which has made herself the cat's-paw of
Austria at Rome, and the tool of Rosie. in Greece,
abhors • statesman that maintains England in an
at-itude disapproving tyranny, ligotry, and reaction.
The crime of Lord Ethmertstox is in fact his htv-
log bad • policy and an opinion, and his having done
Lis utmost in Italy and elsewhere to direct and
encourage the beet intellects of the nation in the path
of moderate and constitutional reform. And in this
he would have succeeded, had not the perverse obeti-
atinacy of ouch rulers as the King of NAPLES and the
Viceroy of Lombardy opened the way for aa out-
break of wild democracy, the two extremes thus
rushing to mortal combat, and extinguishing the
hopes of anything rational or liberal springing up
Intim n them. _

And now, because despotism has prevailed over
dunceracy, Lord PALMER.STOS is blamed for cot hav-
ing sided with despotism from the first, with not hav-
ing scooted the Hangarians and aided the Austrians
to Overcome Italy, with the vindictiveness, but with-
out the excuse of 1816. To have done this would
have been what the Austro-Russian organs please to
call our Esiglob policy. And in truth it is now for
the House of Commons to answer the challenge,
and decide what is English policy. If it be our
English policy to approve of the successive abolitions
of Polish independence and Hungarian rights
—if it be oar English policy, that Italy
should be partitioned between the Austrian police
and the papal inquisition—if it be an English
policy to deiiver up the Sicilians, to whom England
gasw• constitution, to that perjured King of NATLEQ,
who can swear and unswear a constitution, and send
all who followed him in either curb to a dungeon
—if the butcher and women-flogger HATNAU be a
hero to English mind and tare—if it be an English
policy to deliver up the Sultan to be
bullied with impunity, and not to dare to
send a vessel within the Dardanelles as a
token that we are near and can assist him—
if it be an English policy to protect every fraud and
admit every wrong that a monarch of our own crea-
tion, King Onto, may thing proper to inflict, in
vengeance on our advising him to be liberal and just
—then truly the House of Commons had better
declare it to the world as soon se possible.
It concerns, indeed, not only the European world,
but England herself, to decide whether the foreign
policy in which we glory and in which we will
persevere, is that of Queen EIJZABITH, who
protected freedom abroad, and who was so
hated by despots on that account that they
sent the Armada to punish her—whether our policy
is, in fact, that of Etinernr, or of bloody and pu-
aillanizeous haven MARY, who sold Calais, as she would
have sold the realm and honour of England, to the
foreign prince, whom she loved better than anything
English ? The House of Commas should decide and
deduce, whether the hours foreign policy of the
country is to be that of JAMES I. Of of L'IOMMELL—
of CHARLES and limas 11., who were the pensioners
of France, or of King who was the libe-
rator of England and of Europe ? Is our policy to
be that of a MAELD0l01:011 or a HARLEY—of a

Tut injury to the Manchester Rectory Bill
threatened by tie Biala of SALISBURY in the Lords'
committee, has, we Motes to hear, been resented in
that city; for on Friday last, at a meeting of the
" Association of Mensbersi the Establalsed Church
for promoting a Affirm us the Beeksiastiat Pro-
mising for the Parsai of Massekester," more numer-
ously attended than any previous assembly of that
society, a series of very strong resolutions was unani-
mously adopted 'guest the projected injustice, and
a deputation appoietad to confer thereon with the
Bishop of MANCILESTSII,WhO, it is satisfactory to add,
is just as much opposed to the proposition of his bro-
ther prelate as the promoters of the bill.
What the Bishop of SALISBURY proposes is this—
that the amount of payments which the Ecclesiastical
Commission have fur some years been making, at the
rate of 1,5001, a year, to several ecclesiastical districts in
the city, shall constitute a primary charge on the sur-
plus to be obtained by the bill now before parliament,
sod that the Ecclesiastical Commission shall, after its
enactment, either altogether withdraw or greatly re-
duce their present contribution of 1,5001. a year to the
spiritual wants of Manchester.
Now, to this proposition there are insuperable ob-
jections, in its essential injustice, in its mischievous
tendency to deprive Manchester of the benefits of the
measure now before parliament for many years, and
in its inconsistency with the principle of the bill, vie.,
that cure of souls lies in the collegiate clergy.
Apparently, it is burdensome that Manchester
should take 1,5001. a year from the insolvent and
bankrupt capitular fund of the Ecclesiastical Com-
mission. But the fault rests, not with the laity
or working clergy of Manchester, but with its
chaptet- and the Ecclesiastical Commission itself. In
preparing the Capitular Revenues Act, the latter body
proceeded in the case of Manchester on the assump-
tion that its collegiate church was in substance a
capitular institution ; whereas the truth was that it is
a corporation aggregate founded for the better per-
formance of parochial duties in a huge and cumbrous
parish. Actiug on this misapprehension, the commie-
lion called for returns of the revenues of the college.
Those returns exhibited an average yearly income of
7,5001. a year. Upon the statement of such an in-
come, the L'apitular Revenues Act converted the ree-
-1 giate into the cathedral church of Manchester, made its
warden a dean, and its four fellows canons, and gave
them stipends amounting to 6,0001. a year. By this
arrangement the Ecclesiastical Commission would, it
is calculated, be in receipt of 1,5001. a year from the
collegiate, or cathedral, or, more properly speaking,
the parish church of Manchester; which would be
applicable to the endowment of new districts and
churches in the city.
When these handsome incomes were secured by
statute, then the chapter clergy of Manchester stated
that their returns had been misunderstood, and that
their actual revenues were under 6,0001., instead of
7,300/.; consequently there was no surplus to pay over
to the Ecclesiastical Commission. Still the spiritual
wants of Manchester were, from the neglect of their ob-
ligations by the collegiate clergy, so great, that the
Ecclesiastical Commission from its other funds con-
tributed 1,500!. a year to Manchester. And it is re-
payment of that yearly allowance which Bishop
Drumm is now seeking, under the pretence of eco-
nomy, to recover from the chapter, or rather the
parish property ; without, however, as we proceed to
show, the shadow of justice. Had this 1,5001. &yew
been granted to Manchester by the Hcleeiastical Cora-
-1
mission when there was any probability of a
surplus coming to that body from the chapter or parish
estates, something might be said iu favour of Dr.
Desisox's claim. But as the grant was made
with a fall knowledge that there was no surplus, and
as the Ecclesiastical Commission has no legal authority
to treat grants cf this sort as a debt to be repaid, the
claim is a mere attempt to deprive the church laity of
Manchester of the benefit of a surplus which they,
and not the Ecclesiastical Commission, are now creat-
ing for particular and special purposes, and it looks very
much like a scirvy piece of episcopal spite at the in-
terference of the laity with church property, even
though their inter erence has for its object the
church's welfare and extension.

But Dr. DENISON'S claim IS founded on a complete
misapprehension of the position of the chapter or
parish property. It has now been decided by both
Commons' and Lords' committees, and by the House
of Commons, that the cure of souls of the parish of
Manchester, with its 400,000 inhabitants, lies in the
dean and canons as rectors. It, therefore, irre-
sistibly follows. that the ordinary parochial duties
of that great parish, and the common services
of the church therein, are the first charge
on the property of the rectory of Manchester, and
that until those duties and services are fully and
cunpletely provided for, the cathedral clergy, in
their character as such, as distinguished from their
character as rectors or parochial clergy, have no
clam on that property. And the force of fairs crgu-
meet, carried to its legitimate conclusion, involves the
payment of the Dean of Manchester as dean, and the
canons as canons, from some other source than the
property now charged with care of souls of the
parish.
What can be a mare crying evil and a more flagrant
injustice, than to provide for a cathedral chapter out
of the revenues of a parish when the clergy are so
inadequate in number to the wants of the population,
and, at the same time, so scantily endowed—when, in
short, some of them are occasionally in want of a
dinner?

If, then, Bishop DENISON will raise this question
of repayment, he must be prepared for the cense-
quence—vis , fur an agitation to throw the payment
of the cathedral clergy of Manchester from the perish
revenues= to the capitular revenues of the Ecclesias-
tical Commission : for we can assure him that the
very moderato and reasonable provisions of the bill
which he is busily endeavouring to emasculate, have
been very reluctantly accepted by the more ultra
churchmen of Manchester as a compromise of the
question.
The bill already gives the Ecclesiastical Commis-
sion far too much power to meddle, and make with,
and to mar church property and church policy in
Manchester; and to wend it back to the Commons
with clauses that will enable, as Dr. DENISON wishes,
the Ecclesiastical Commission to avert its Immediate
benefits from Manchester to the coffers of that ill-
administered body, will only create a collision between
the two houses: for it is a principle that will be re-
si4ted to the uttermost by the church reformers la the
Commons.

And sorely there is a very great indecency in the
Bishop of SALIIIIORY thus attempting to alter, to vary,
and to upset arrzngements made by the Bishop of
MANCIIJIMR with the churchwardens of that city
about the property of the church therein. He might,
we submit, And much more suitable occupation in en-
deavouring to teach better manners to the notorious
Vicar of East &sat, or to venture oa his sobriquet, to
" liv. Omuta without the (dragon) drag-oo." When
superintending the dimes* of Bath and Wells (during
Dr. LAW'S incompetency) he gave his brother (the
Rev. G. A. Dantene) the beet living that became
vacant therein ; and ever since, that person has been
very industricusly disturbing the pesos of the church
by his folly and his unties.

Pacilloo's Portuguese bond.

The meeting of the members of the audacity ou
Thursday night at the club of the Conseil d'Etat to
deliberate on the course to be adopted in regard to
the Dotation-Bill was very numerously attended ; the
debate, which lasted till midnight, in Wbich all the
great conservative loaders figured, was animated In
the extreme; aid the °occlusion, as far as any minolis-
aloft can be said to have been adapted, was far less fa-
vourable to the government than ministers hoped.
About 300 representatives were present; M. Placa-
tory took the chair. Duple, Montalembert, de Broglie,
Thum, spoke strenuously in favoer of the government
bill. They acknowledged the utseasoosblenees and
impolicy of the application, but it would be a
still greater blunder to weaken the executive
by throwing it out. Such a course would deprive the
majority of the fruit, of their victory on the electoral
law, and bring on an antagonism between the go-
vernment and the Assembly fatal to the progress of
conservative legislation. M. de Montalembert, who
seldom ventures on a set speech without biting some-
body, made this time a furious onslaught on the kgi-
mist.. He was fresh from the Me d'Or, and harsh
as young Beaune. On the bead of the legitimists
would light the responsibility of the struggles and
divisions that would plague Fracas if the law of the
three millions were thrown out. During his voyage
the only legitimists he bad seen were in the cha-
teaux. The blood of Larochejacquelin chafed at the
imputation oast upon the loyal peasantry. Berryer
thundered indignant denial. For the rest he would
espouse a vote that would only settle the past, nor
effect any change for the present or the future in the
constitutional position of the President. He would
vote • grant I f two millions. The motion of M.
Kerdrel, explained in previous letters, was backed
by a large number of moderates, who wish to make
it the pivot of ur.derstandirg with the government.
M. Titters said he was neither • republican nor
a Bonapartist, yet be should vote for the
bill. Jules de Lasteyrie ch;med in with Berryer's
two millions ; Laruchejacqutlin, having been teased
by interjections from his own sec., which begged he
would speak for himself and not in the name of the
legitimists, fairly lost hie temper, and apostrophised
MM. Bechard and Ressignier in language which
pointed to the Bois de Boulogne as the fittest place for
settling their dispute. Three sets of second, were
appointed, who arranged the matter pacifically. The
s Wag broke up after midnight in greet agitation.
The legitimists were to meet sgain on the fullowing
night. It seemed likely that many would disavow
the line taken by Berryer. An unfortunate inter-
loper, who had crept into the meeting in order to
furnish a newspaper with a faithful report of this
extraordinary meetiog, was detected, and politely
requested to absent himself from the diacusiion.
'fhe members of the majority belonging to the club
of the Rue Richelieu, met last night to agree upon
the terms of an amendment on the I)otation Bill
favourable to the government. The five members of
toe minority of the committee, MM. leiverrier, Le-
febre, Darnfie, Buroux, Augustine Giraud, and For-
tool, were present. Several members, fresh from the
country, spoke of the favourable reception of the bill
in the departments. The amendment of the five,
which only differs from the bill of the government by
the insertion of the word "extraordinary," was pre-
tented by M. Dampierre before "tap. news."
To-day nothing of importance occurred in the As-
sembly. M. Chevrix complained that dozuments
relative to the budget, particularly thus@ concerning
civil pensions, were not forthcoming. After some
words from M. Fould, the Assembly passed o the
order et the day.
The report on the Press Bill is ready. The prin-
ciple of a postage sump is definitively adopted, and
very favourable to the departmental press.
The Patric contains a communication of ministers,
in answer to the latest despatches published by the
English pipers on the Greek question, which is
stripped of all interest by the definitive settlement of
the dispute.
The Mondeur says:—" The Minister of Commerce
has submitted to the examination of the Council of
State a bill for modifying the tariffs of sugar and
c Afee. The bill, which has been examined by the
Council-General of Agriculture, Manufactures, and
Commerce, enacted th_t the new legislation should
come into effect for the Ist July. It is, however, no
longer permitted to hope that such can be the case.
After the examination of the Conceit of State, the
bill will have to be submitted to the legislitive
assembly, where it will have to he read three times,
which will require a long delay. It is even difficult to
foresee the period at which the new bill will be
adopted, but the government will do all that depends
on it to hasten the vote, and, if necessary, to carry it
into execution."

Official returns show that, from the beginning ofl
the lesson for manuffc'oring sugar up to the end of
May, the quantity of sugar produced was 60,000,000
kilogrammeP, though in the corresponding period of
last year it was only 37,000,000 kilos. The consump-
tion, however, did not increase to the same extent ;
there remained on hand in the manufactorits
14,000,000 kiloP., and la the r ntn-pote 6,000,000 kilos ,
whilst last year the quantities were only 10,000,000
and 3,000,000 kilos.
We find the following in the S ,lui Pu6lie of Lyons
of the 19th :—" M. de Laminate passed through our
city yesterday, en route for Smyrna. In order, doubt-
less, to avoid any demonstration, he had int rmed no
one of his arrival, except some privilegi d friend..
About eleven o'clock be left the hotel by a door
which opine on to the Huai du Rhone, end embarked

8 MOAT A PTIRNOON.

•
A cabinet council was held yesterday at the Elyeke.
It is reported that the government agreed to adopt
the amendment of the club of the Itue Rieheleu,
which proposes to grant neon the budget of 18.50, a
credit of 2,160,000 fr. for the extraordinary ex-
penses of the presidency in 1819 and 1830. This
sum, together with the 1,200,000 fr. which the Pre-
sident actually receives, and the 240,000 fr. charged
on the budget of public works for keeping up the
Elysee, makes exactly the 3,600,000 fr. demanded
by the government bill.
The legitimist club of the Rue de Rivoli have not
succeeded in bringing their divergencies to a conclu-
sion. The amendment of Dampierre, which pro-
poses an extraordinary grant of 2,160,000 f., charge-
able upon the budgets of '49 and '6O, takes from the
bill its permanent character, its monarchic principle
and look of civil list, and is therefore adhered to by
many. A similar amendment, but not distributing
the credit between the two years, was adopted by
the club of the Rue Richelieu. If the bill pass, there
is, beyond doubt, an intention to bring forward a pro-
position for a decennial prolongation of the President's
power. This is already openly spAren of.
The meeting of the club of the Coneeil d'Etat last
night was lest crowded and considerably calmer than
that of Friday. It was known that the nucleus of
cohesion would be the amendment adopted by the
club of the Rue Richelieu, which grants the money
demanded by ministers; but, by the insertion of the
ward " extraordinary" before "expense'," leaves the
Amembly with hands untied for the next year. Fre-
quent in'erviewe have taken place between tne chiefs
of the parliamentary majority and the President and
ministers, in order to prevail on the government to
aooept this amendment. MM. Btrryer, de Broglie,
and Mole represented the great exertions which had
been made to procure the acceptance of this modifica-
tion of the ministerial project, and hoped that the
government would not lean too bard on the majority,
and rick a collision with the Assembly, by an uremia-
promising adherence to its Brat resolution. The least
imprudence might preei °Mate ari open rupture between
the executive and legislative powers, lo irritable a
eusoeptibility and distrust prevailedamong all part's'.
It is reported that the government surrendered to
these arguments and agreed to adopt the amendment
in quetMon. Yesterday, at the end of the sitting,
people were employed In calculating the opposition
to the bill. It was made out that 126 members of

toes weal against it. Thoth 125 vote,
to 360 glee of the Moantainitiaeleift, apt
the tiers- • giv ien fatal of 375 against thobill, &ado
as sot seeea.than Ail mambo's will be d at the
division, it weellethisi at the first IA time the
eceetaeat is pi testy sore of being beaten. • Bat t
.extraordinary perverseness of the extreme Left .ia
determiniag to oppose any increase whatever of the
Preside &novena, is calculated to modify chums,
soinewbat In the ministers. In fact in the
debate on Mandy OWN distinct opinions will dispute
the field; the San is the • asHeisierial pre set,
which will b. advocated by MM. niers,
Niontalembeet, de Broglie, sad the party whose
organs In the press are the Constitetionnel and
the Dia Deeembre r the second is the amendment of
the committee, supported by MM. Croton, de Mornay,
Flaudin, three-fourths of the legitimists, the tiers-
parti, arid some of the members of the Left; the third
is the radical opinion maintaired in the committee by
M. &Lewd., which would leave the President's past
expenditure at his own charge, without adding a sons
to his future allowance. Of course the last opinion
will only be supported by the Mountain. The
serious contest will lie between the government
and the committee. But if the Left stand up with
the party of Thieve and Montalembert against the
corelusion of the committee, it is pretty more of being
thrown out. Then the bill of the government will
stand a good chance of parniag. The moment is a
critical one, and the contest is at bottom between the
burgraves and their reactionary policy on the
one hand, and the constitutional republicans
on the other. A better opportunity for,
turning the scale in the favour of the latter could
hardly occur. In the meantime the Potwar, organ
of the Elyse*, abates no jot of its menacing tome, and
talks of a project of national subscription, the pro-
gramme of which is to convey. a censure upon the As-
sembly. Such a document;sigeed by millions, would,
it pays, completely destroy the authority of the legis-
lative power.
The committee of the budget of lesl sits in perma-
nence, and has completed its work all to two minis-
tries. The report is expected before the end of the
month; and the debate will then take place probably
in the first fortnight in Jul). The fagged legislators
are extremely anxious to begin their holidays with
August; but if the dotation question Is not settled in
a manner satisfactory to the President end the As-
sembly, the Litter will probably give up all notion of
prorogation is order to be prepared for all events.
In the Assembly yesterday Pierre Leroux gave
vent to a strange medley of jargon in defence of PO-
cisliesn, which drew roars of laughter, and was finally
set aside for tho order of the day.
A letter from Toulon, of the 19th inst.. announces
the arrival on the preceding evening of Baron Oros,
the late minister plenipotentiary at Greece. The
tome letter states that one of the Levant steamers
