pion of Jacobinism," and the creature of a Ravolu.
tion produced by military achievementsfand enter-
prise. They assume that England and France will
support their measures, whatever their intention
may be, though we form no part of the Holy Alli-
ance, and the Earl of Liverpool has candidly,
declared, that it is not the policy of Great Britain
to join any project against Naples, and that we are
now in amity and friendship with Spain. The
Allies allude to existing treaties. These conse-
quently must soon be developed, and then it will be
seen if' Lord Castlereagh has committed himself or
not. We could never believe that he would ,igree
to any compact pledging England to join in the
eternal degradation of mankind. The Allies, before
they denounce, should endeavour to show that the
Neapalitan Constitution is unjust. It is founded
upon that of Spain, where the Sovereign authority
is scrupu!onsly respected, and the people enjoy more
happiness than ever they did in ages that are passe'.
Why then should the Sovereigns at Troppau med-
dle or iaterrt.pt their repose? Are they anxious
" that chaos should come again," and think it a duty
that the Ils'y Alliance should enter upon a crusade
to re-establish the Holy Inquisition in Spain t—lf
such is the beatitude of the pious Triumvirs,
Heaven grant that we at least shall be spared from
heir interference !

While the Whig Addresses or Amendments are
condemnatory of Ministers, as a necessary conse-
quence of rational and constitutional loyalty, the
Tory Addresses are totally silent on the subject.—
Wow abstinence from praise of the Ministers of the
day (of whatever complexion they may be) in a
Tory, is equal to positive censure in a Whig These
two great parties have never for years before approx-
imated so neat each other. Their opinion is the
same ip suhrtanee,, and only differs in the mode of
expression—the Whigs say that Ministers have
either weakly or wickedly violated almost every
principl: pf the Constitution, and the Tories, that
their conduct is indefensible. The abject nature of
the Tory Ministeralist can never, even in his most
elevated mood, when something like good feeling
gives him something like spirit, reach the manliness
of the Constitutional Whig ; a cautious reserve,
therefore, is the strongest mode of disapprobation
which his instinctive servility will allow him to
conceive. Thlt these ultra loyalists should have
strained their faculties to this pitch of political
virtue, is the miracle.. It is certrsinly indicative of
one of two things; either that the eonduct of Mi-
nisters is in itself beyond the possibility of defence
—or that -there is a distant probability of a change
of men and measures, and as their principles always
hung lossely about them, they are preparing to cast
their skin. However, be it indicative of what it
may, it is clearly evident from this public coalition
of the two great opposing parties in the state, one
of whili generelly directs and the other follows
public opinion, that Ministers have lost (if ever
they bad) the confidence of the country! If it be
said, that the loyal Addresses, as by a miserable
perversbn of languaoe they are called, arc strictly
and distinctly Iklunstcrial, then the promoters of
them are most artful hypocrites. Knowing that
Englishmen are distinguished (as we trust they
always will be) fur attachment to their King as
the executive guardian of law, they appeal to it for
promotion of an object which they da?e not avow,
and make loyalty a mere stalking horse of Mi-
nisterialism; for in their Addresses, they studiously
abstain front the mention of Ministers al all--and in
their speeches they professedly di:j.rin the King flout •
them, and make a freedom from party purposes
the distinct ground upon which they ask for sup-
port to their addresses.
The Norwich Reform Society have proposed a
Petition to the House of Commons, which prays the
exertion of the influence of the House towards ob-
taining the restoration of the Queen's name to the
Liturgy, and to all the rights of a Queen Consort.
They entreat that further proceedings against her
Majesty may be stopped—inquiry instituted into •
the Milan Commission—that the support of the
House may be withdrawn from Ministers—and the
corrupt state of the representation taken into early
consideration.
