SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS,

We stated some days ago that the English GO-
Yernment would of course recognize, the Constitu-
tional King of France. We may now state that it
is determined to immediately acknowledge Louis
Philip as King of the French. The recognition
will, we understand, be made in a manner equally
prompt and cordial. The King of England, with
the good sense and good feeling which belong to
his character, has expressed in the warmest and
most energetic terms his anxiety that no unneces-
sary delay shall take place in this act of sound po-
licy and international justice. It is not, we hear,
yet decided whether the recognition of Louis Philip I
will be made through the medium of a special mis-
sion, or through the regular medium of Lord
Stuart de nothsay. The accession of the French
Monarch has, it is true, been specially notified to
the English Government by General Bandrand;
but the absence of the Duke of Lava) Montmo-
rency from England rendered this step necessary.
It is known shut diplomatic etiquette allows the
English Government the option to avail them-
selves of the regular channel of the resident Am-
bassador, or of selecting some person especially
for that duty. As the wish and determination to
recognize Louis Philip are so decidedly strong and
cordial, both on the part of the British Cabinet and
the British Sovereign, the mere form of the recog-
nition becomes very unimportant. Of one thing we
are sure, that neither in form nor in substance will
the King of England or his Ministers do any thing
which tan throw a doubt on the zealous sincerity of
that recognition. We think now, that even the
most incredulous of that stupid and malignant fac-
tion who have charged the Duke of Wellington us
being privy to the atrocious measures of Polignac,
will allow, with whutever reluctance, that neither
directly nor indirectly,—neither by himself nor any
of his colleagues,—has there been any communica-
tion between the English and the French Premier,
which might not be proclaimed at Charing-cross,—
The time is fast approaching (for, as we have else-
where stated, Parliament will meet for the despatch
of business on the '2Bth of October) when the Duke
may publicly contradict this infamous calumny.—
Meantime he may challenge his enemies to produce,
either in France or England, one tittle of proof,—
one atom of probable evidence,—that he had even
means of knowing, much less that he approved of
those insane projects which Charles X. and his
Cabinet conceived and attempted to execute for the
overthrow of their country's rights.—Times.
Accounts from Spain have been received from our
Ambassador, Mr. Addington. They come down to
the 12th. We understand that they indicate the
existence of a disposition in Ferdinand to yield to
the circumstances of the times, and to make those
concessions voluntarily, which would otherwise he
wrung from him. We suspect this repentance comes
too late : who can trust the promises of such a
Sovereign as Ferdinand ? Has he not repeatedly
broken his word—his oath ? What guarantee can
there be for one who has shown that neither the
ties of gratitude, nor of honour, nor of religion, can
bind him ? Let him again escape the toil us he did
at Seville, and afterwardsat Cadiz, and he will first
laugh at, then persecute to death, the dupes who
trust him—

4, Ease would recant
" Vows made in pain, as violent and void."
The Constitutionalists of Spain have committed
many follies,. which have made their friends blush,
anti which they themselves are now the first to con
fess with regret and humiliation. No, no; they
cannot again commit the enormous folly—worse In
their case than any crime—of putting any trust in
the concessions however plausible, in the vows how-
ever solemn, of Ferdinand the perfidious.—Tieres.
The Throne which the Usurper of Portugal has
ruised upon the ruins of the Constitution, which he
had sworn to protect, rests, we should think, at
present, on a very frail foundation. We are aware
that his patron saints itro powerful, and that the
miracles of the Church caw do much in favour of so
pious and obedient a believer. Still Charles X.
found that there are limits to " apostolic" power,
and that holy perfidy is not always successful. Like
that infatuated Monarch, Don Miguel may find that
oaths " registered in Heaven" are not at all times
broken with impunity, and that those who consider
themselves above the obligations of human laws,
may yet incur, even in the guilty splendotfrof their
(*outlet', the chastisement of Divine vengeance !
We make these observations without knowing what
effect the `Hews of the mighty events of which France
has been the theatre, and which have created a new
era in the civilised world, bag produced on the
banks of the Tagus. By the latest accounts which
have reached us from that country, and which will
be round in our paper today under the head of Lis-
bon Correspondence, the perfidious candidate for such
historical honours as grace the memories of the kin.

the insolent levity of his nature in frivolous plea-
sures, while his myrmidons continued to insult the
British flag, and to show by every means in their
power their contempt for the united " wisdom and
energy" which preside over our foreign relations I--
Will it be believed in after times that this despicable
imitator of the worst models of regal imbecility and
vier., should dare to treat with scorn the symbol of
our naval glory, anti to defy the power of Great
Britain on her native element, while the gallant
companion end patron of Nelson was on the throne,
and the hero of Waterloo ut the head of her Cabinet!
Yet so it is, and even worse ; for, as we are in-
formed by our Correspondent, and as some of the
foreign papers haVe stated, a special interest is
taken in the promotion of the ambitious projects of
this mindless reprobate by other' Courts of Europe,
that ought to regard his connection as the last dis-
grace. We recollect the amiable coquetry of Lord
Aberdeen last Session on the subject of the recogni.
tion of Don Miguel ; and we also recollect the Tel-
evil.* tragedy ; yet we were not prepared to hear,
after all which has passed, that new efforts are making
to negotiate a treaty of marriage between the Infant
Queen Donna Muria and her unnatural uncle, through
the intervention of the great European Powers—great
they may cell themselves, but in this transaction, if it
be true, they look exceedingly little. It is added that
this allience it to be founded upon the exclusion of
the Constitutional Charter, and that the Emperor
Dori Pedro, sensiblo of his inability to arrange mat.
ters in a snore satisfactory way, has given this pro-
ject his reluctant consent. We hope, for the honour
of human nature, there is no truth in this report. If
any British Minister he engaged in such a traninie.
tion, we are riot aequainted with any terms strong
enough to characterise his couduct The patience
with which our Government have already borne the
violence which he has been guilty of to British sub-
cts, and the insults which he has heaped upon the
BBritish Ng, has suflicieedy compromised the na-
tional dignity; but to make ourselves a party to

The Brighton Guardian, in a long article, occupy-
ing neatly a column, while directing attention to
what the writer conceived " the sad and melancholy
effects of adulation from the people to the Prince,
furnished by the late bloody scenes in the streets of
Paris," was so unfortunate us to use the expression,
" the King is not a strong-minded man." There is
a time for every thing (says the wide man), and the
editor of the Brighton Guardian has experienced the
truth of this. We may add, too, that there is a place
for every thing. Now,at the time of this unfortunate
expression, or " unguarded expression," as the
editor of.the Brighton Guardian admits it to be, the
King was on a visit at Brighton. What might
have escaped notice in London, or Leeds, or Man-
chester, or Glasgow, was sure to attract attention at
such a place as Brighton, and especially at such u
time. Brighton, too, has to atone for the sill
against Royalty, which drove our late most gracious
Sovereign from it; and the people of that place
must, from that circumstance, be peculiarly alive to
their reputation for loyalty. No man hints anything
against the Church in the house of one who has
gone over from the Dissenters—no one expresses
liberal sentiments in the house of a Jacobin Rene-
gado—no one speaks of Moorish blood in certain
districts of Spain—and no one should express any-
thing but the most unqualified loyalty its a place like
Brighton, which may be said to be on its good
behaviour. The King is, we believe, a well-mean-
ing worthy man; he wishes to make the best use of
his abilities; and as no man likes to heir his
strength of mind questioned, we should not, even
if we thought him weak-minded (and we have not
heard that be is), venture to express so unpleasant a
truth. It is with Kings as with wives in this country;
they are taken for better for worse during life; and as
they cannot be changed, the telling them unpleasant
truths, while they are acting us well us they cats,
may do harm, but can hardly do good. 'I best
wife would hardly bear being told by her husband
that she has not a good face ; and the best King
may be soured by hearing that he has not is strong
mind. The time for telling truths of the King was
before the illllOBB of the Duke of Ymk, or, at all
events, before the illness of his late Majesty. Un-
der these circumstances, it was, perhaps, well for
the Editor of the Brighton Guardian that the Kings
and Ministers who have been committing murder
by wholesale in Paris have not had a hair of their
heads touched, end that la douse hantanite in the
present day does slot require to be propitiated by
martyrdom. The loyal people of Brighton have
caught the humanity of the age, arid instead of
burning the editor of the Guardian in person, they
merely burned him in effigy. Duo credit will be
given to them, when the nature of this " wanton
and atrocious attack upon the King," as they phrase
it, is fairly considered. It was proposed, however,
to call a sneering of the inhabitants, to express, in a
solemn way, their abhorrence of such a wanton out-
rage, as to doubt, that a 'King on the throne is not
always the best and wisest of Kings. A Reverend
Gentleman, who has suffered much from the dis-
loyal principles of the paper, was anxious for a pub-
lic meeting.
" Ile wished (be said) to see the Guardian put down.
Forbearance bad hitherto been adopted, under the blest
that it would speedily sink; but it had found supporters,
and be desired to see it discontinued. He had no hatred
to the Editor—be would assist him; but the paper ought
to be put down. Ile need not say bow he had been re-
viled by the Editor, whom be had refused certain adver-
tisements he had applied the.
" Well said ; this Church Parson here spoke the truth ;
put down the paper—the organ and advocate of Dissenters
—the opponent of Lidice, and fat livings, and plu-
ralities; oh, certainly, destroy that vile Guardian which
exposes all chicanery, and abuse, and intrigue, and which
has guarded the town against the rapacity which would
have imposed still further taxes on its industry to light
St. Peter's Church with gas! The Reverend Gentleman
Raid on one occasion, so long as that paper lasts, we
(the Church) shall never get any more front the parish,'
and it is therefore natural that he should wish us extinct.
This parson is doubtless exceedingly angry at what be nick-
names our disloyalty; but he is still more angry at our unworn-
promising hostility to the Church ; because the insolence
of thew Churchmen should never he lost sight of—they
even presume to rank themselves shove the State. It is
not State and Church,' but ' Church and State.'"

The principles of the Clergy at present are every
where sound, as is evinced by their votes for the
Treasury Candidates, But voting and even preach-
ing is not enough. We would suggest that a Loyal
Library, consisting of a collection of the various trea-
tises published by Clergymen during the last fifty
years, recommending the most unqualified passive
obedience, be made, with the view of forming a
library of really useful knowledge, to be circulated
assiduously through the country. We could name
at least two hundred, containing more slavish, and,
therefore, more 'found principles, than are to be found
in any publication in Paris since the return of the
Bourbons. They might commence with the " Sys-
tern of true Politics, humbly addressed to all his
Majesty's subjects," by James Illingworth, D.D.,
Lecturer of St. Alphuge, London-wall, an admirable
little manual.

" Among many disagreeable appearances of the signs of
the times (observes the Rev. Bettor) the spirit of reviling,
judging, and condemning administration is not the least.
This is one of the crying sins of the nation. , ,
To revile, or speak evil of rulers, is a direct violation of
the spirit of charity, or law of love, which is the die:
tinguishing characteristic of Christianity. It is therefore
incompatible with the character of a Christian, and mann-
sistent with the duty as well as the interests of British
sultjecla, to speak evil of their King as supreme, or of their
governors appointed under him, to assist him in the
government of his people, and in the great and important
work of managing and conducting public affair., for the
good of the whole body politic—, For they are God's
Ministers'—' By me, saith Jehovah, Kings reign and
Princes decree justice. By the Prinme rule and Nobles,
over all the Judges of the earth.' Kings, Princes, Nobles
and Judges are all appointed of God ; but whatever God
appoints most be according to infinite wisdom, conse-
quently right in itself. Therefore it is inconsistent with
the Christian character to speak evil of God's appoint-
ment. . . . The Kingly office of Christ, which

cannot be separated from his roediaterial character, nor
abolished till all his enemies be finally subdued, for he
must reign till he Nth put all counties under his feet'—has
no sign upon earth but the government ofKings to repre-
sent his sovereign power to the world. He bath on his
vesture and on hie thigh a name written, Kitig of
Kings and Lord of Lords but Mke away Kingly go-
vernment, and this Scripture must be erased nut of the
Secret! Canon, because it could not be true, The relative
terms, therefore, of office-character or derived power,
under the names of Kings and Lords, show, in the strongest
manner, not only their divine appointment, but the certainty
of their continuatieu, es a standing figure of the power of
Christ es Supreme King and Lord over all, till time shall
be no more. . Kingly Government, therefore,
must continue till all the above Scriptures have their full
completion, viz. to the end of time. This doctrine, they
who are of Republican principle., necessarily deny, became
it strikes at the root of what they Ball a popular govern-
ment, or a free state, where the people have the govern-
ment in their own hands. But whatever conclusions men
drew from their own rea'onings, or more truly from their
own prejudice*, if they oppose the word of God, their con-
clusions are false"

Whut advantage to a country to have a body
of men well paid to inculcate such wholesome doc-
trines I To speak against en Administration is, we
see, to fly in the face of Christia►►ity. Might not
tho editor of the &Warm Guardian be tried for
blasphemy for this wanton outrage against Majesty ?
