SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

The Paris Papers of Saturday and Sunday are
chiefly filled with discussions on the news from
Algiers, and speculations on the result of the elec-
tions. On examining the various statements which
the Liberal Papers publish from Toulon and Mar-
seilles, respecting the expedition, we see no reason
to believe that any disastrous event has occurred to
obstruct its ultimate success. The spirit with which
its attack will be received may be estimated from
the account which we have copied from the Mimi-
tear of the treatment to which the ship-wrecked
crews of the two French brigs L'Aventure and La
SyThne were subjected on the Algerine territory. At
no former election have so much activity and zeal
been shown by the Constitutional party as at the
present. Indeed, this is the second general election
which the French have seen' since the restoration►,
and the present constitution of that Assembly.
Before the Septennial Act passed in 1824, the
Chamber of Deputies was renewed by fifths,—a
fifth portion of the members going out every year.
A Chamber, thus restricted in its duration to five
years, and liable to annual changes, voted itself,
under M. de Villele, a contingent existence of seven
years, which it did not live to enjoy. The
Ministry, no doubt, expected that the change
would increase their power, by enabling them, in the
first place, to acquire at once a decided majority
at a general election, and afterwards to preserve it
for a long period without any annual contests at
partial renewals. In the first experiment which M.
de Villele made with his own instrument, it burst
in his hands. When again mounted and repaired by
his successors, the issue of the trial does not pro-
mise to be more fortunate. It is singular, that at
the very time when our English reformers, even of
moderate views, were demanding a shorter duration
of Parliaments, the French Ministry should consider
an extended term the perfection of political wisdom.
This change, be it remembered, was introduced
merely on theoretic principles, without any pretext
of danger, or any immediate prospect of practical
advantage. The popularity of liberal principles and
of the liberal candidate seems to have increased with
the introduction of M. de Peyronnet into the Mi-
nistry, and the anticipated violence of the minis-
terial party. Every where the deputies of the ma-
jority, who voted the hostile address, are received
with applause, and sometimes are invited to figure
in triumphant pageants, which the authorities en-
deavour to obstruct. This was lately the case at
Angers, the capital of the Maine and Loire, where
the Prefect called out the military to prevent an
oration of the two ex-deputies, and where blood
would have been shed but for the prudence of these
gentlemen and the Mayor of the place. The Mini-
sterial Journals having no electoral triumphs to em-
blazon, are endeavouring to excite alarms for the
monarchy at the present aspect of affairs. Their
object is evidently to act upon the prejudices of the
King, and to convince him that every man who
does not see !the absolute wisdom of his late con-
duct is a traitor and a revolutionist. They there-
fore call upon all the friends of monarchy to oppose
the return of the 221 Members of the late majority
on the address, as enemies of the Royal prerogative.
Nothing can be more absurd or unconstitutional than
the language and the reasoning which they employ
on the subject. The alarm of the Chamber at the
change in the King's councils might be wise, or it
might be foolish ; but the expression of dissatisfac-
tion at the appointment of the Cabinet could no
more be an attack on the Royal prerogative than the
rejection of any measure proposed by the Crown.
The French funds continue still so low, as to de-
stroy all prospect of reducing the Five per Cents. in
the ensuing Session:— Times.
It will be seen from the report of last night's
proceedings in the Commons, that very little pro-
gress was made in the public business of the Ses-
sion. Though the House, as usual, sat to a very
late hour, much time was expended in making ar-
rangements as to future business, and some measures
were fixed for particular days: but, we should say,
judging from the experience of the past, to be again
adjourned. It is impossible that the public busi-
ness can be got through in this manner; Ilon.
Members (with every respect be it said) must learn
to be more abstinent in their oratory. At the pre-
sent rate of proceeding, it will be some months be-
fore what may be called the important public busi-
ness can get to the Lords. We suspect we have
pan)), contributed to the mischief by reporting
speeches n hich should have been suffered to die on
the spot the natural death of oblivion. A collection
of the speeches of some of our most diffuse Parlia-
mentary orators would be a good companion for the
wel:-known compilation of the " Epistolce obscure-
rum Virorum." These indefatigable persons, tilas
lose their time:

" Sleepless themselves, they give their readers sleep."—
Times.

The public are right in their conjectures that
Prince Frederick William Louis of Prussia is a
candidate for the crown of Greece, " resigned before
'twas won," by another Prince : but it is not so
clear that success will crown his wishes, though the
thing is not impossible. His pretensions are, we
believe, advocated by France; but not, as yet at
least, sanctioned by ourselves ; or, so far as we
know, by Russia. We believe that the Opposition
are not only sick of the Ex-Sovereign of Greece,
but of the whole Greek business : they rire per-
plexed and fatigued by the want of uniformity of
opinion in their own body.—Times.
We rejoice to see that a disposition exists to li-
berate the country from the restraints of the Me-
thuen Treaty. Mr. Hyde Villiers, in a masterly
speech, exposed the injurious effects of which that
treaty had been productive to this country. The
Oporto Company have, under it, obtained a mono-
poly by which, at their own prices, they force the
English to receive the worst wines in Portugal.—
Mr. Courtney shared, generally speaking, the views
of Mr. Villiers, and assured him that no doubt was
entertained as to our power to revise the Methuen
Treaty, and that this would be undertaken as soon
as our relations with Portugal should afford a con-
venient opportunity. It appears that the treaty has
been as injurious to Portugal as to England. The
exportation of wine to other countries, which was
once considerable, has fallen to next to nothing,
because other nations are not bound by treaty to
poison themselves with bad wine; and as was ob-
served by Mr. Villiers, " it is notorious that much
of the wine produced in the district of the Oporto
Company is of an inferior quality, while much of
the wine produced elsewhere is first rate." Such
are the effects of monopoly. We need not be sur-
prised, then, that " the wines of Portugal have
never recovered their value in the foreign market
since the establishment of the Oporto Company ;"
and that, " while their exports last year to this
country amounted to 17,950 pipes, their exports to
ad the rest of the world amounted to only 1,232
pipes."—Morning Chronicle.
There was some discussion last night about the
New Police. The general opinion of the House
seemed to be that it had answered very well. Sir
Richard Vyvyan, indeed, went back to the days of
King Alfred, and spoke with marvellous unction of
the institution which, more than any other, contri-
buted to keep alive the spirit of liberty—that which
entitled every man to share in the administration of
justice, and called on him in turn to take his part in
seeing that the laws were obeyed. No doubt, the
old Irish watchmen, and the old stagers who served
deputies for constables, that the Sybarites of this
metropolis might not be exposed to the risk of
broken heads and broken rest, were very much cal-
culated to make us in love with our old institutions.
However, declatnation will not prevail against daily
experience. That man must be very deficient in
candour who will not allow that the state of our
streets, both by day and night, is greatly improved
under the New Police,and the roads;in the vicinity
of the metropolis still more. As to the force being
under the controul of the Government, that is be-
cause I ondon, being an aggregate of towns and vil-
lages, there is no authority to take the command of

the whole, except in the Secretary of State. The
New Police will soon bear down all opposition.—
Morning Chronicle.
The subject of the business of the House was
again brought forward last night. Sir Robert Peel
suggested that for the present Session public busi-
ness should begin every evening at half-past five
o'clock. Mr. Brougham, who approved of the re-
commendation, said that he had formed a plan for
the future management of business ; but he would
not at that late period of the Session enter into it.
The presentation of petitions has gradually gained
ground on the regular business as it is called ; but
as was observed by Mr. Bright, " the presenting
petitions is one of the most important parts of the
business of the House. By petitions they were
able to learn what were the feelings of their consti-
tuents, and to obtain more practical information
than by any other means." The same thing cannot
Le said in behalf of most of what is called private
business. Nearly all that comes under this denomi-
nation could be much better performed by Commis-
sioners. Indeed, we can conceive no reason for
retaining much of this business, but. the pecuniary
interests of a number of officers of Parliament, and
the valuable patronage connected with the disposal
of so many situations. They have no objection to
interfere with the presentation of petitions, or to
hurry Bills through the House ; but they have a de-
cided objection to interfere with the abuses which
are so productive of profit. We trust, however,
that Parliament will always contain a sufficient num-
ber possessed of the requisite honesty and the re-
quisite bodily energy, to inspire Members with a
serious desire of reform, from the most intelligible
of all motives—their own inability to support the
fatigue of the present system.—illonting Chronicle.
It seemed to us somewhat strange, that the Ex-
Governor of Prince Edward's Island, should have
a pension of 500/. payable out of quit-rents, which
have no existence owing to the want of population,
while at the same time there should be an expensive
Government for an uninhabited island. We find,
however, that here, as in almost every thing else,
gross advantage has been taken of the ignorance of
the public respecting colonial matters. We have
received a valuable communication on the subject
of Prince Edward's Island. The writer observes—
" Mr. Wilmot Horton defends the grant of a pension
of 5001. a year to Mr. Smith, the Ex-Governor of Prince
Edward's Island, on the ground that the quit-rent fund
is not sufficiently productive, owing to the want of
population on that island. Sixty-seven Noblemen and
Gentlemen, residing in England, among whom are the
Earl of Westmoreland, the Earl of Selkirk, Lord Melville,
and Sir James Montgomery, hold grants of twenty thousand
acres each, on condition of paying a quit-rent of six
shillings annually per hundred acres, which in the aggre-
gate amounts to 4,0201. a year, to defray the expense of
the Government of it. According to Mr. Horton the
receipts do not amount to 5001., as the Ex-Governor's
pension is more than a twelvemonth in arrear ; and we
know that upwards of 3,000/. are annually demanded of
our Parliament to support the expenses of the civil esta-
blishments of that island. Mr. W. Horton says that the
island is without a population, and strongly urges the ne-
cessity of Mending people thither to purchase and rent the
land of the Noblemen, to enable them to pay the quit-
rents, to pay the pensions allotted to their own relations
and dependents."
" How preposterous ! An island without people to
have a Governor and an Ex.-Governor—the latter at
5001. a-year ; Attorney and Solicitor-Generals, and a
host of underlings—all supported by the good people of
England. I must not forget the Chief Justice, he has
1,000/. a year ; but he continues to reside in Nova Scotia,
where he officiates as Speaker of the House of Assembly,
with another good salary. There is also an Ex-Chief
Justice, and he, too, resides in Nova Scotia. By the bye,
this reminds me of the case of the Rev. Mr. Griffin, who
formerly held an appointment as a Minister of the Church
of England in this precious Prince Edward's Island, or
Prince of Islands, who, like a fool as he was, could 'afford
to have a conscience,' and could not enjoy the delights of
a sinecureship ; he remonstrated with the Government on
the absurdity of maintaining a Clergyman in a place
where there were no people. This created much alarm
among the sinecurists. He, poor man, was deprived of
his salary, and another appointed in his stead, with a
double salary. This man is more prudent, he holds his
tongue ; but continues, however, like the Chief Justice, to
live elsewhere."

What rapacity ! what dishonesty ! Can we
wonder that the population, familiarised day after
day with these examples in the higher classes of
this country, should so often be tempted to look on
invasions of property as a sort of retaliation, and to
view penal law as an injustice, to which they must
submit because the weaker party ? The two
poachers described by Mr. Potter Macqueen, con-
demned to support their wives and children on the
parish allowance of a few shillings a week, arc in-
nocent in comparison with many of their superiors.
Religion is one of the most approved means for
emptying the pockets of a people ; and hence no
small part of the dissatisfaction in our colonies is
attributable to the attempts which have been made
to turn religion to worldly accounts. Mr.W. Horton,
on Monday night, maintained that the people of the
Church of England in the colonies required the
assistance of the Government. Mr. W. Horton
means by this, that the Clergy of the Church of
England should be crammed clown the throats of
people of other persuasions. The Church of England
is but one of many religions in the United Kingdom ;
and even in respect of establishment, it is only
one of two that are legally established. When
people leave this country for a wilderness, to which
their industry alone can give value, if they happen
to be all of one religion it may be practicable to
establish it; but when they are of a dozen or a score
of religions, to establish one only with a view to a
monopoly of good things will rouse the jealousy of
the other sects. Hence in Canada, notwithstanding
all the attempts of Government and the Society for
the Propagation of the Gospel to bolster up the
Church of England, that Church has only 33
Clergymen out of 235. Our contemporary, the
Standard, ought not to have compared England
with countries in which the people are all, or nearly
all, of one religion.
" England (says our contemporary), as Sir Robert In-
glis truly observed, is the on'y nation possessing Colonies
that has not established her Church in them. The Popish
and Mahomedan countries make it a point of setting up
their superstitions wherever they conquer or colonize; and
Holland, the only Protestant country holding Colonies
besides ourselves, established her Church wherever she
settled."

But in Holland, before the Union with the Ne-
therlands, the people were nearly all Calvinists. If
Scotland were a separate country, and had Colonies,
it might establish Presbytery, as nineteen-twen-
tieths of the people are Presbyterians. But the
Church of England is not the religion of one-third
part of the population of the three kingdoms ; and
of the emigrants of late years it is not the religion
of one-twelfth.—Morning Chronicle.

Our colonies, in general, which ought to be the
valuable appendages of empire, seem to be go-
veined on the principle of rendering them as onerous
as possible to the parent country. It sounds proudly
in the ears of Englishmen to say that the British
sceptre extends over dominions on which the sun
never sets; but it is a boast more vain than profit-
able. Better would it have been that the limits of
the empire had never extended to the remote regions
of the other hemisphere, than that suck vast and
&stria accessions of territory should have been made
only to drain the resources and to increase the bur-
dens of the British people. In the Committee of
Supply, the other night, we observe that a sum of
120,000/. was moved for and voted for the civil
establishment of the colonies of New South Wales
and Van Diemen's Land, and for the expenses of
convicts in these settlements. That sum was ex-
clusive of the military expenses, which, as the an-
nual estimates showed, amounted to 150,0001. more,
making together a sum of 270,0001., voted out of
the pockets of the people of this country to defray
the civil and military establishments of these two
colonies. This is indeed but a small part of the
price which England pays for the expensive glory
of ruling a dominion on which " the sun never goes
down 1" Let us suppose any private individual was
m possession of a productive patrimony, which he
Increased by thousands of additional acres, and, when

asked,how much his rent-roll had been enlarged by
those additional acres, was to say. " They have not
produced me any thing, nor do I mean that they
should—they are a positive expense to me—they
drain me of a great part of the income which I re-
ceive from my patrimonial property—they make me
poor,instead of adding to my wealth—but still it is a
glorious thing to say that I have extended my estate
miles beyond what it was in the hands of some of
my ancestors, though I lose money by every acre of
laud added to the original demesne." Would not
any body suppose that such a man was insane, and
utterly incapable of the management of his own af-
fairs ? Yet such is the nature of our boast with re-
gard to our colonies : every accession to our terri-
tory becomes an accession to our burdens ; and the
taxes of England must be increased that the system
of colonization may be extended. As to New South
Wales, it appears that, instead of becoming more
able to maintain its own establishments as it ad-
vances in population, agriculture, and commerce, it
becomes more burdensome to this country. Surely
it must be a strange sort of statesmanship which
produces such a result. It appears that, five years
ago—namely, in 1825—the revenue had been
68,0001, and the expenditure 77,0001. From that
period there had been an advance in the revenue,
but h still greater one in the expenditure, and in
1829 the former amounted to 94,0001., and the latter
to 131,000/. ; and, in addition to this, the country
is now asked for 120,000/. exclusive of the military
expenses before stated. It was said by Mr. Hume
(whether correctly or not we have at present no
means of ascertaining) that the colony might be
maintained at half the expense, and the revenue, if
well applied, would cover the whole expenditure
within 30,000/. or 40,000/. He said he bad moved,
three months ago, for the accounts of the colony, in
order to be prepared for this Vote, but could not
get them. He added that every department was
under the supremacy of an individual, over whom
there was no control, and who had three funds to
draw upon, consisting of the colonial revenue, bills
drawn on the Treasury, and the Commissariat bills
drawn on account of the military. We do not
know what to think of another statement made
by the Honourable Member. It would seem
scarcely credible but that the Secretary for
the Colonies seemed to confirm it. Mr. flume
said, at the time this sum was asked for, the Se-
cretary of State was in possession of no accounts;
and the House was called on to vote 270,000/.
without knowing how it was to be expended. Sir
George Murray attempted to account for this by
stating that the Hon. Member called for papers of
1829, which could not be produced, because they
had not yet arrived from the colony ; and, with re-
spect to other returns for which he had asked, he
(the Secretary) told him there was much time and
great labour to be employed in getting them, as
some of them were connected with other depart-
ments. Never have we heard of more lame and in-
sufficient excuses for requiring Parliament to vote
away the money of the people without furnishing
the requisite documents as to its necessity and appli-
cation. If the papers which were to afford Parlia-
ment the intelligence on which alone its vote
could be justified had not yet arrived from the
colony, what would have been the obvious
and proper course to pursue by a Government
anxious to appear correct in the eyes of the
public? To postpone the vote until they did arrive.
if those who want the money do not furnish the
accounts in time, then the money ought to be kept
back until they did furnish them. If that were
done, we are quite confident there would not be so
much delay the next time. As to the other reason
given by Sir George Murray for not laying before
the House another portion of documents connected
with this subject—namely, the " much time and
great labour to be employed in getting them"—one
would suppose it came from a person who did the
duties of his office gratuitously for the public; and,
even so, it would not be very creditable to the zeal
and industry of the patriotic Minister who undertook
the task of managing the colonies, and accounted for
the non-production of necessary documents by com-
plaining of the time and trouble that must be ex-
pended in procuring them. But the Right Hon.
secretary, as well as others in his department, is
paid well for transacting the business of his office,
of which we conceive the preparing and furnishing
to Parliament the documents in question formed no
unimportant part. If, indeed, he had accounted for
the absence of the documents on the ground of their
not being necessary, that would have involved a dif-
ferent question ; but he did not deny their import-
ance; and so, because it was troublesome to procure
them, Parliament must vote away the money of the
people, without knowing whether they were doing
right or wrong ! Such a mode of Colonial Govern-
ment is evidently calculated to engender extrava-
gance. Secretaries may be immaculate, and Gover-
nors may be honourable; but it is in the nature of
such a system to beget prodigality. No wonder that
in New South Wales the press is so obnoxious to
power, that it is found necessary to keep it in due
restraint by repeated ex-officio informations, and the
verdicts of military Juries ! Morning Herald.
