MAIN IFEST

. MAROTO

Noble and valiant Basques and all you Spaniards

: When I undertook to accept the post of chief of the
staff to the army of Don Carlos, the state of disorder
, into which all branches of the Administration were
. plunged was not unknown to me ; but, witness of your
. sacrifices in a fratricide war, penetrated by the sincerity
of your intentions, and recollecting the proofs of friend-
ship which you gave me, I promised to ameliorate your
condition. Six years of war, in which you have been ad-
mired by the whole world, had for object to support the
absolute will of a Prince ; but Divine Providence, which
ever watches over the fate of the Spanish nation, of
which this privileged spot forms a part, could not
permit the triumph of bad men, hypocritical and am-
bitious, who as a recompense for your works and
fatigues only prepared for you the scaffold. This con-
viction was general ; it is thus that all men of common
sense spoke to me. This opinion was confirmed to me
by the chiefs of division, who gave to me full powers
(the originals of which I preserve) to treat for your be-
nefit in the most speedy manner for the restoration of
peace ; but I also occupied myself with the interests
of the Prince, and I made him the propositions which
appeared to me to be most advantageous. Neverthe-
less, ingratitude, inseparable companion of pride and of
despotism, shut the door to my hopes. In such a crisis,
it was necessary to take a resolution useful to all Spa-
niards, or to the victim of a tyrannical Government
and destruction. We established peace in these pro-
vinces by a treaty, frank, generous, and disinterested.
Europe regards us—the Spanish people bless the work,
and the pages of history and future generations will
boast of the heroic traits which belong only to Spani-
ards. Basques—no more anger, no more enmity. We
are all brothers by birth, by principles, by choice.
None of you will be seduced by the suggestions of
those who, being the first to adroit the necessity of
changing the principles, have wanted the courage
to march in the narrow path of right which we
have adopted, still desiring to burn the brand of discord.
Navarre presents you to-day a picture the most hor-
rible—drawn by a hand who speaks of religion, and who
has the baseness to say that we have failed. Navarrese !
your Chief, the General Maroto, has not fled, as you
have been taught to believe ; he has not sold you for
money, which he detests, and never loved. No ; his
illness, moral and physical, for a long time prevented
him from being at your head ; and, with the help of
God, you are not ignorant of reason and good sense.
The payment made by the intendant of the army of
General Espartero to the battalions which have ac-
cepted the treaty, and to several other persons, and
the four sums given to the other Generals, Chief's, and
officers, who have gone to France, after having sub-
mitted to Isabel 11., are the only interests which have
been stipulated for in this grand and noble resolution
to which I have lent myself, convinced that I should
make it, and because it was impossible for me to re-
main another day in the service of Don Carlos, on
account of circumstances which will one day be pub
lished.

I defy all and each in particular to prove the con-
trary, and I regard with contempt all vile and injurious
calumnies which speak of treason or bribes. The unani-
mous accord of the greater part of the army and the
people of the, provinces in favour of peace, at all price,
would never have been made known by the perfidious
councillors of Don Carlos. In fine, I acted according
to the views and opinions of the chiefs, and of you all,
who manifested your sentiments upon a thousand occa-
sions. I had, in short, the general good of humanity
and of the country for my object ; and I only regret
that a difference with some of the leaders did not allow
me to carry it as far as I desired.
At the first interview which I had with General
Espartero, we.were not of the same opinion, on account
of the fueros, which were not assured ; and we sepa-
rated to recommence hostilities. On that head I gave
the necessary order, and I pointed out the places where
the troops were to act ; but there meeting, with fresh
difficulties, and an opposition against giving battle, I
determined on sending certain Generals to Espartero, to
settle definitely the conclusion of the Treaty which has
been signed by them all. I also publish the names of
those who gave me powers to treat, and a letter from
the General commanding in Biscay.

MAROTO.

Sixteen chiefs assisted to sign the Treaty ; 18 gave
power to Maroto to act ; and 17 signed for the division
of Biscay.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS

(THURSDAY EVENING.)
CHRONICLE.—The weekly meeting of the Bank
Directors this day has been looked for with more than
ordinary interest, as it was generally, although absurdly
supposed that the Court contemplated certain mea-
sures relative to the currency which would have been
attended with very serious results, connected with the
monetary affairs of the country. The prevalence of
this opinion, added to the scarcity of money, and ap-
prehensions relative to the acceptances of the post notes
of the Bank of the Unitod States now due, had led to
a depression in the English Stock and Exchequer Bill
Market, which has been to-day a good deal removed by
the circumstance that nothing particular transpired in
the Bank parlour, And the knowledge that the agent for
the Bank of the United States had made an arrange-
ment with the holders of the before-mentioned American
securities. Indeed, we have been informed that the
whole amount of the post-notes which fell due to-day
were paid.

We are authorised to assert that the paragraph in the
City article of the Times of yesterday morning, in re-
ference to Mr. Jaudon and his recent transactions with
the Bank of England, is a tissue of inaccuracies and
untruths. None of the parties giving guarantees have
withdrawn, and none indeed have yet been called upon
to act. These gentlemen, moreover, spontaneously of-
fered to come forward to assist the agent of the United
States' Bank, and are still willing to act, if necessary.
The fact is, that the application of Mr. Jaudon was a
precautionary, and not a compulsory step, and this is
proved by the fact that he has not yet applied for any
portion of the money promised to be advanced, while it
is more than probable that he will have no occasion to
avail himself of this resource. The meeting alluded to
by the Times took place at the residence of Mr. Jan-
don, and at that gentleman's request, that he might
consult with some of the most influential men in the
City connected with or interested in American matters,
as to what course they would recommend under certain
circumstances ; and we feel confident that it will be
found that they all approved of what he has done, as
well as what he proposes to do, and more especially
agree witii him in opinion that there is no necessity for
his availing himself of the arrangement with the Bank ;
at all events, not until the arrival of the Great Western,
which, it is expected, will place Mr. Jaudon in a per-
fectly independent position.

POST.—The uneasiness which has been experienced
in the City for some days past with respect to the affairs
of the United States Bank in this country, has been re-
lieved this afternoon by the knowledge of the fact that
Mr. Jaudon has made arrangements which have given
satisfaction to all parties interested. The acceptances
which fell due to-day, and which were made on behalf
of the United States Bank, have all been duly ho-
noured. With respect to the post-notes, which in due
courso ought to have been paid to-day, the large holders
(who consist principally of two or three of the leading
London banking firms, seine noblemen, and a private
merchant) have, on consultation with Mr. Jaudon,
consented to allow payment to stand over, in some in-
stances for six mood's, collateral security being given
by the agent of the Bank, and an allowance of interest
at the rate of ten per cent. per annum until such notes
are liquidated. The small holders of these post-notes
have had the option of immediate payment of their
claims, or of accepting the same terms as the more
wealthy possessors of this species of investment. This
arrangement has given general satisfaction in the City.
It is, however, necessary to state, as we do upon the best
authority, that Mr. Jaudon, in discharging the bills he had
accepted on behalf of the United States Bank, which
became due to-day, has net had any necessity for apply-
ing to the Bank of England for any assistance from the
Directors of the Bank of England. The gentleman
referred to has a full confidence that the arrival of
the Great Western steamer will put him in possession
of most ample funds to meet engagements of the Bank
here without being under the necessity of availing him-
self of the assistance the Bank Directors have, on ap-
plication, tendered to him. It is not, we are assured,
the fact that there was any meeting of the American
merchants either yesterday or to-day, as has been re-
ported, to consider the best measures to be resorted to
under the present state in which the agency of the
United States Bank has been placed. The leading
holders of the post-notes met the wishes of Mr. Jaudon
with much readiness. It is hoped that this subject,
which has created certainly much conversation in the
City, has been fully adjusted, and that a speedy revival
of confidence will be exhibited among the merchants in
the American trade.

TIMES.—So various have been the rumours to-day,
and even the direct affirmations of persons usually well
informed on the subject of Mr. Jaudon's engagements
and the affairs of the Bank of the United States, that
any sifting of the truth out of them has become a
matter of extraordinary difficulty. That all the post-
notes due to-day have been paid, no one believes, and
the best account that can 'be given is, that a portion,
probably a considerable one, has been paid, and that on
the remainder time has been granted at a rate of interest
suitable to the state of the market, which would be
equivalent to 8 or perhaps 10 per cent. These securi-
ties lie, it is said, in few hands, such as those of the lead-
who can afford a little delaying hankers and capitalists,
without inconvenience, and who would have strong mo-
tives for not pressing very urgeutly for payment at this
critical period. We acquit Mr. Jaudon readily of
one thing which has been laid to his ehaxge—viz.,
his having claimed three days grace on the peat_,,teo,
according to the usage with bills of exchange, which he
has too much experience of business to think of, and
which would besides have been an admission that the
post notes fall under the same description of securities

—a consequence which would have proved more injuri-
ous to his principals on the other side than Imy short
postponement of payment. All that has occured to-day
however, has been without any intervention of third
parties acting as guarantees, which proves that the re-
solution to which the principal parties came yesterday
has been adhered to. The post notes, in fact, rest on
their own merits, and have either been paid or post-
poned by consent without additional security. As obli-
gations of the Bank of the United States, they are pre-
ferred to the shares in the stock of the bank, since they
must under any circumstances have priority of payment
over the dividends. With respect to bills of exchange,
no difficulty of any sort appears to have presented itself'
to-day.

There was an error committed, it seems, the other
day, in the statement that Exchequer bills were avail-
able immediately for payments on accounts of duties,
and the inference from it, consequently, that the Re-
venue was likely to suffer unless they were kept above
par by some advance in the rate of interest, was wrong.
The mistake is not material in itself, being mainly a
question of time ; and if it should turn out that the
correction of it shall afford the means of exposing one
of the last " kicks" of Mr. Ex-Chancellor Rice at the
monied interest, it may be more than an atonement for
the error.

No greater mockery or delusion was ever practised
than in making Exchequer bills, which is the case with
the batch now afloat, only available for duties after they
have been twelve months in circulation. That is the
period which the bills have to run before they arrive at
maturity, at least according to long established Parlia-
mentary practice, and the alternative of paying them in
for duties becomes, therefore, worth nothing. Under
the old system of Exchequer bills, and until a very re-
cent period, they were uniformly made available for du-
ties after they had been a few months in circulation,
and this was a most fair and wise provision, as well
for the Minister of the day as for the public creditor,
as better terms were obtained by it, when the bills came
in to be renewed, on the security that this
contingency of payment for duties afforded him against
loss. But after the occupation of office for a certain
period by Mr. Spring Rice, and getting into sundry
scrapes by his management of the unfunded debt, he
came to the conclusion that he would be much more at

his ease if he could manage to get rid of this condition.
Accordingly he arranged with his friends in the Bank
parlour (or if he did not so arrange, the coincidence is
most fortunate for him,) to support his issues of Exche-
quer bills by making temporary loans upon them,
until he had renewed and got out his whole circulation
for the year, he changing at the same time the maturity
of his bills by issuing them in March or June only, in-
stead of spreading them, as heretofore, over the four
quarters of the year in equal proportions.
This being all settled, and, as is presumed, concocted,
when Exchequer bills were at a premium of from 30s.
to 505., the condition altogether a new one, by which
they are made available for payments on duties only,
after an issue of twelve months, is introduced into the
bills—instruments which no one thinks of reading, be-
cause never imagining that the old form could have been
changed ; and the Bank confederates, at the same
time, strike out Exchequer bills from the list of
available securities upon which advances are to
be made ; the bills become thereby a drug upon the
market ; bankers find themselves suddenly with-
out help from that which they had always
deemed their best and mast certain resource ; and when
driven by this series of adverse circumstances to the
old remedy of payment for duties, which would at least
secure the capital sum, they find even that cut away
from them, and are compelled to await patiently the
maturity of the bills, at a rate of interest about one-
third or one-fourth of the present current value of
money. Those who are conversant with banking af-
fairs, and understand the nature of the ordeal through
which they are now passing, can alone estimate the ex-
tent of the injury thus inflicted on the monied interest,
and the trick, for it deserves no better name, which has
been practised upon them.

(From the Morning Edition of The Sun.)
Mr. Jaudon has made satisfactory arrangements with
the large holders of the post notes of the Bank of the
United States, which became due to-day. They have
allowed the notes to run on for six months in some in-
stances, with collateral security, and interest at the
rate of 10 per cent. The small holders will be paid
off. All the bills accepted by Mr. Jaudon on behalf of
the Bank he is connected with, which became due to-
day, have been paid, and this, too, without any as-
sistance from the Bank or other parties. Mr. Jaudon
has full confidence that the Great Western steamer
will put him in funds to meet all engagements with the
United States Bank, without requiring aid from the
Bank of England. The adjustment of this matter has
afforded great satisfaction to the Comniercial interests
in the City this afternoon.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
(From the Times.)
In turning- up their eyes and exclaiming at Lord Mel-
bourne's late appointments of Ministers or minor func-
tionaries, people have brought an unjust charge against
his Lordship. They assert that such nominations as we
have witnessed within the last month prove a design on
Lord Melbourne's part to " change the principle" cf his
Government. It proves quite the reverse ; for what is
that principle ? Simply "to remain a Government." It
it be said that a Cabinet so misconstructed can never
stand one week after the existing vacation terminates,
and therefore that the retention of office could not well
have been the directing motive to such a defiance of
public opinion and of political decency as has been visi-
ble throughout the whole of these scandalous promo-
tions, the answer is, that all portions of time as well
as space are comparative. That which is a century in
the annals of an insect, to a nobler creature may be but
a winter's day. The trading beggarman who seizes on
the vacant corner of a thoroughfare, and makes it at
once the scene and instrument of his extortions, calcu-
lates his freehold by the time that may elapse bofore the
next policeman shall gripe him by the shoulder, and
adapts his arrangements to the necessities of his mean
and vile position :—he reckons his receipts by each mi-
nute as it succeeds. Such is the humble rapacity of the
Queen's advisers. Their chances are desperate : they
live not even by the day but by the job. Their cares
and their estimates are all on the scale of an ephemeris ;
their tables of longevity deal only with fractions of an
hour. Imagine, therefore, what a prize to beings
thus constituted must be a cycle extending to three
whole months.

(From the Morning Chronicle.)
We yesterday published an extract from the minutes
of the Committee of Council on Education, which
evinces that the commencement has been made in a
right direction, and that, however trifling the grant, in a
pecuniary view, its distribution is likely to lead even-
tually to the most useful results. The third regulation
is of immense importance, and we trust will be rigidly
adhered to. It claims, over every school to be hence-
forth aided by public money, the right of inspection.
The inspectors are to be appointed by her Majesty in
Council. They are not to interfere with the religious
instruction, or discipline, or management of the schools,
but to collect facts and information, and report the
result. Of this, no church or sect, no patron, sub-
scriberß, or conductors of schools, can reasonably

will those who are zealously, but ignorantly, wasting
time and money in unskilful tuition regret the facility
thus created for improving their methods and increasing
their efficiency. The tricksters and partisans, whose
pupils are chiefly upon paper, and whe get up a hol-
low show of education for the sake of drawing upon the
public funds, or imposing upon the gullibility of party
meetings, will of course cry out against the
hardship of these visitations, and denounce them
as tending to Popery and infidelity—that is to
be expected. As, however, such pitiful cant has not
availed to prevent the commencement of this
blessed work, we have little fear of its staying
the progress. The practical effect of the inspection
will be, in the first instance, to detect the abuses or im-
perfections, and so to raise, by their correction, the
character of the schools dependent upon public aid.
The benefit cannot long rest there. Attention will ine-
vitably be directed towards the schools in which it is
known that popular education is practically exhibited
in its most improved form. This country is digrace-
fully behind.a large portion of Europe, not only in the
extent to which education is diffused, but in the me-
thods of conducting it. The reports of intelligent and
well-qualified inspectors, acting under the authority of
Government, are as promising a mode as could be de-
vised of wiping off this disgrace. The process is a
most simple, unexceptionable, and gradual one for the
accomplishment of that educational reform which is
known by every one who has studied the subject to be
largely needed, not only in our charity schools, but in
seminaries of much higher pretensions.
(From the Morning Post.)
Cold must that man's heart be, and insensible to
all the best impulses of patriotic feeling, who does
not read with pride and joy of such a meeting as
that which took place the other day in the south of
Scotland to welcome home the Duke of Buccleuch
to his estates. We see in such a meeting what it is
that constitutes the real strength and dignity of this
country. We behold in it evidence of the prosperity

that they will not be robbed of those advantages which

the encroachments and effrontery of restless inn,.,vators,
and bankrupt speculators in affairs of merchandise and
of politics.

(From the Morning Herald.)
Though we have not been so f'oriunate as to meet
with " the admirable volume of Mr. Wyse on National
Education," which, from the name and eharaqer of its
author, we presume is little 'else than a Douay version qf
" the 117isclom of Solomon," we think ourselves bound in
civility to accept the challenge of the Chronicle, and to
make good our assertions, that modern Popery and
modern infidelity arc now officially banded together for
the ruin of our Protestant Church and Constitution in
the Privy Council scheme of national instruction. If
any doubt could be felt as to the reality of our distinc-
tion between ancient and modern Popery, it would be
settled at once by remembering that the one is the
real and honest patron of popular ignorance ; the
other the professed and mock patron of popular edu-
cation. Not that Popery, under any circumstances, can
be the honest and sincere advocate of popular educa-
tion ; but that, when compelled by Protestantism to
change its tactics, it can assume that love which it never
feels, and that, rather than behold the triumph of
its adversary, it can become the advocate of infidel and
perverted literature. Its real hatred of popular educa-
tion is to be seen in its former struggles against the
restoration of learning at the era of the Reformation,
which all the wit of Erasmus and the raillery of Reuch-
lin could scarcely overcome. It is apparent, also, at
the present time, wherever Popery reigns sole and para-
mount—witness the suburbs of the Eternal City—the
lazzaroni of Naples and Sardinia--the boundless
wastes of Portugal and Spain. And yet, With the most
unblushing effrontery, Mr. Wyse can chide the Clergy
of the Church of England, as the patrons and apostles
of popular ignorance, the foes and antagonists of national
education ! And why is it that modern Popery has
adopted this change of tactics ? Because it now seeks,
by the separation of secular from religious instruction,
to obtain that very object which, in former times, and
under different circumstances, it sought to secure, by
the prevalence of popular ignorance. To divide faith
from reason is the grand secret of Popery.
(From the Morning Advertiser.)
We are exceedingly surprised to find that in the ar-
ticles which have appeared in this Journal on the
subject of the Comptrollership of the Exchequer, it
should have been for a moment supposed that our object
was to vindicate the appointment of Baron Monteagle
to that office. We only intended to show that since
the formation of the Governments of Lords Grey and
Melbourne there had been so great a disposition, so
earliest a desire, to economise the public money, that
a reduction in the expenses of that establishment alone,
to the extent of 30,0001. a-year, had been effected, as
compared with its expenses during the existence of any
previous Governments, not even excepting that of the
Duke of Wellington himself, though his administration
carried out the principles of economy more fully than
any of the Ministries of his predecessors in office. And
having satisfactorily established this, we have claimed for
the Melbourne Government that credit to which they
are so justly entitled. On the subject of Baron Mont-
eagle's appointment, we have expressed no opinion, feel-
ing that it were not only premature, but unjust to all
parties, to do so, until such time as official documents,
which shall enable us to get at the real merits of the
case, have been brought before us. If it shall then ap-
pear that the country, in his person, has been unnecessa-
rily saddled with an additional 2,000/. a-year ; if' it shall
be found that the expenses of discharging the duties of
the office as filled by him arc 3,4001. per annum, while
they were only 1,400/. when the office was held by Mr.
Ellis ; if it shall turn out that Baron Monteagle is to
have 2,000/. a year for doing nothing ; if, in short, he is
to receive that sum for holding a mere sinecure appoint-
ment ; if such shall eventually be proved to be the fact,
then we say that a grosser job was never perpetrated—
that a more discreditable act was never committed—
always, of course, excepting that of the Duke of Wel-
lington conferring a large retiring pension on each of his
two private secretaries, though they had only been nine
months in his service. If Government- shall have lent
themselves to so barefaced and unprincipled a job—if
they have sought to practise so gross &deception on the
country, they will soon find, and very properly too, that
they have greatly dainaged themselves in public es
mation.

On this matter of the " Repeal of the Union" we are
inclined to think that Mr. O'Connell finds himself in
a dilemma. He cannot deny, and indeed admits, that
all parties are opposed to it ; and how does he seek to
account for it ? Why, by asserting that so strong is
the " antipathy" of the English to the Irish, that they will
not consent to the repeat. Surely if Mr. O'Connell is
correct in his assertion of the "antipathy " of the
English, that antipathy would prompt the English
rather to desire a disunion political and social with a
people towards whom Mr. O'Connell says they enter-
tain so strong adantipathy. It must be an odd sort
of an antipathy—quite Irish—if it be true that in the
ratio of its. intensity the disinclination of the English
to disunite themselves from the objects of their
antipathy increases. Will Mr. O'Connell never
understand that the antipathy is to himself, his
designs, his agitation, and to his incessant endeavours

to create jealousies, misunderstandings, and be-
ttveen two countries, whom nature and political circum-
stances have decreed must form one kingdom and one
people, and whom, in spite of Mr. O'Connell's plots and
denunciations, we firmly believe will continue to remain
in union with the same kind-heartedness and cordiality
which the English have always exhibited and felt towards
their Irish brethren.

There can be no doubt that Spain is now in a state
to invite all kind of enterprises on the part of her neigh-
bours to work the resources now, for the first time, ren-
dered available. Lord Clarendon has referred to the tracts

of property liberated from sloth, and opening a new field
for capital and for cultivation. The Debats talks of a fresh
treaty of commerce with Spain as highly desirable, and of
the powers possessed by France of establishing a mutually
beneficial interchange. There can be no doubt that the
improvement of Spain will derelop at least equal faci-
lities for highly profitable commercial relations with

this country. The capabilities of her soil and people
arc not merely unexhausted, but untried. A dead
system of spiritual and secular absolutism, and an an-
tiquated colonial and commercial regimen, have re-
pressed her energies. It is only now—we again quote
Lord Clarendon's authority--that Spain has begun to
rouse herself from the long sleep of ages, and to ad-
vance in the course marked out for her by
her noble site, and antique character. It was
well remarked by Lord Clarendon, that if the
Spaniards have not yet recognized the benefits of un-
restricted commercial intercourse, we should not forget
the existence of the Corn-laws in England. In the
career of national improvement to which we trust we
may look forward, the extension of her agriculture must
long hold the first rank in Spain. It is impossible
to look at those territories which once peopled
the south of Ireland, to see them brought by steam
within forty-eight hours voyage of her wretched
peasantry, and not to be struck with the open-.
ing to cheap and most productive emigration
which appears to be held out by the fertile fields
of Spain under Liberal government. The great
problem every where demanding solution is to bring la-
bouring people (the source of all wealth, as well as all
power) in contact with a field of production which
.can,
employ and repay their labour. Spain appears to.open ,
such a field to immense numbers of cultivators. And',
here exist those sympathies of religious tradition and
education, which the Debats talks of between Spain and
France, but which are far more real between Spain and

Another of the Elliots has been provided for. Ad-
miral the Hon. Chi rtes Elphinstone Fleeming, cousin
to Sir Charles Adam, half brother to Lord Elphin-
stone, and Commander-in-chief at Portsmouth, has
been appointed to the Governorship of G. reenwich Hos-
pital. It has hitherto been the practice to make this
appointment the reward for long and distinguished
sertines ; but these are considerations which her Ma-
je,ty's Government rower allow to influence them in the
distribution of their patronage. If, however, Admiral
Fleeming has seen no service at sea (and we are assured
he never had the good fortune to take part in a battle in
his life), he possesses what in the eyes of Lord Mel-
bourne and his associates constitutes a much stronger
claim to reward ; he has been an active supporter of Whig
principles for many years ; and recently assisted to stay
the torrent of public indignation against Ministers for
their neglect of the British navy, by describing the
Russian fleet as a " pasteboard fleet." This clever
sally has been quoted on all occasions by Mini-
sters I.'S a proof that no precaution was necessary
against such an antagonist, and Admiral Fleeming
was forthwith rewarded
.by the naval command at
Portsmouth, having previously held those of Sheer-
ness and the Wed Indies. ''his was not deemed com-
pensation enough for so distinguished an officer. He
has accordingly been appointed to a situation where
his tenure is more secure than it is likely to have been at
Portsmouth. How worthy a successor of the gallant vete-
ran in whose arms Nelson breathed his last, and who shared
with him the most glorious of his triumphs, is Admiral
Fleeming ! It would seem as though every succeeding
appointment of the Whigs were destined to exceed in
corrupt favouritism its predecessor. Of all their re-
cent performances, however, this is the most dis-
gusting and the most corrupt. We predicted
that Greenwich Hospital was too good a thing to
be allowed to pass out of the Elliot family, and our
anticipations have not been disappointed. Per-
, haps the confidence which prevented Sir Charles Adam
from appropriating the , appointment to himself was

judged ; at all events, an Elliot, and an active supporter
of Ministers, has hen provided for.
