ADMIRAL FLEMTNU.

The editor of the Ayr Observer, a high Tory journal'
is highly indignant with his brother Tory of the Times
(whom he denominates a " plum-pudding blusterer")'
lor his rabid attacks on the Government relative to the
appointment of the gallant Admiral to Greenwich Hos-
pital. It is amusing to find the party falling foul of
each other in this way. Has anything fallen from the
Liberal Press at all to be compared to the following
piece of virtuous indignation ?
The Editor of the Times has well nigh grown rabid
on the subject, and gives vent to a spirit of national
jealousy, which, front the days of the famous John
Wilkes, of "cap-of-liberty" notoriety, no one ever c 5"
petted to find resuscitated in the columns of any re-
spectable journal. Admiral Fleming's worst feature, it
appears, is not his Whiggism—he is a Scotchman--aaa
that is wormwood to the pure English blood of the
Editor of the Times. He d‘ signates the Admiralty a
Scotch Board, and in his frenzy, gives vent to the fol-
fowing mouthful of insanity—" England leaps forward to
rescue her palladium from disgrace ; she proclaims to the
Scotch Board of Admiralty_' You shall not job in the
sanctuary of nip veteran seamen.' " This of course is sheer
raving—nonsense which every man of common under-
qanding will denounce ; but the impudence 0f the
writer exceeds anything we could have conceived in
the conductor of a public newspaper, writing at the of
of nearly a century and a half from the union 01 l"e
Crowns. "We stand erect," says the editor of the
Times, for the navy of Great Britain ; and for neither
Whig nor Tory will we surrender one particle of its
claims to justice." This is all very well, but so long
.is it is the navy of Great Britain, 'we cannot possibly
see the right of England to say to the Board--unrn-
posed of Scotchmen as it may be—" You shall
not job the sanctuary of my veteran seamen 1." The
philippic is a wanton insult to a country which con-
tributes more than her equivalent of the Public
revenue, and assuredly much more than her pro Per:
Lion of men, both for the army and the navy—tha"
palladium of which the Times is so very erect and
conscientious a supporter. When this plum-pudding
blusterer shall show us the enterprise in which Scotch-
men have not been engaged ; or point out the victory,
either by sea and land, in which the best blood of the
nation has not flowed, in defence of the Crown and in'
terests of Britain, then we may pardon the arrogance
which could dictate such a sentence ; and perhaps un:
derstand how it happens that Scotchmen have not equal
rights with their Southern neighbours ; and why it comes
that they are not as eligible to constitute a Board of Ad-,
miralty as any set of Englishmen in the country ! The
editor of the Tones may rest assured that the- cause he
espouses with so much. warmth, is not to be promoted
by such wanton ebullitions of national prejudice as this.
Every honest Scotchman, whether Conservative or
otherwise, must feel indignant at the insult offered.

DON CARLOS
A PROPER HOSTAGE THAT HIS SERVANTS
CABRERA AND D'ESPAGNE COMMIT NO
MORE BUTCHERIES IN THEIR MASTER'S
NAME AND BEHALF.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Inner Temple, Oct. 24th, 1839.

SlR—Your remarks of this evening, on the subject
of the indispensable detention of Don Carlos are the
very best I have met with on the subject. Reverses
of fortune, and no invitation, or offer of hospitality.
or refuge, placed Don Carlos in the power of the
French Government, i, e. of one of his declared ene-,
mies, as the Quadruple Alliance exists to prove. Novi
this enemy of his pretensions, and without doubt of bit
merciless character) has an unforfeited right of
detaining the refugee, whom the chance of war has
driven upon its sod ; at least till he gives orders, which
shad be obeyed, to his Lieutenants and agents to cease
prosecuting those pretensions at the edge of the sword
France, as one of the tour declared enemies to the pre-
tensions of Don Carlos, has not only the right so to
insist, but, in consideration of its engagements with the
other three, is, in honour and justice to them, bound to
follow such a course. The obligation of detention is
imperative ; the policy and humanity without ques-
tion. I have only to add, if matters were carried in
such cases with a high hand, as they ought to be for
the sake of human life and human happiness, the
French Government should notify to the monsters
named in my heading, that unless they laid down their
arms Don Carlos should be cast into gaol.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
A BARRISTER.
