by the Bill being committed, 63 voting for and 17
zgainst the motion. A motion to substitute the Town
Council, for her MAJESTY to appoint the Commit-
sinner, was lost by 63 to 10. The other clauses were
agreed to.
The Bolton Police Bill also went through a Com-
mittee.
After passing several other measures through one
stage, and after Sir F. TRENCH had indulged the
House with a dissertation on short and long threes,
the House adjourned at the very early and un-
usual hour of Five o'Clock. It begins to have little to
do, and as what little it does is destroyed by the Lords,
it has no temptation to continue its labours. Parlia-
ment we hope, and the country else hopes, is about to
be prorogued.

ever, manifested no haste to receive the opium, and
appeared resolved, before opening the trade, to
exact from the Consul of each European nation
trading with China a distinct pledge that ho more
opium should be imported into the Celestial Empire.
Most of the merchants affected to think their
opium well disposed of, as they regarded the pledge
of the British Superintendent as binding the Go-•
vernment of this country to make good their losses ;
while others were not a little apprehensive that
Captain ELLIOT had exceeded' his instruc-
tions. The question will give rise to serious
discussions. The rate-payers of this country will
not readily consent to advance from one to two
millions sterling to cover the losses incurred by
merchants carrying on a fraudulent and immoral
traffic between the East Indies and China ; nor is
it at all probable that the instructions given by
our Government to Superintendent ELLIOT, would
justify him in incurring in its name so heavy a
responsibility. But supposing Captain ELLlor's
instructions sufficiently ample, the Government, we
apprehend, must look to the revenues of India—to
the revenues of the country producing the opium—
for the means of liquidating this debt of honour.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in his place in the
House of Commons, declaims against the Chartists
for talking of employing physical force to attain
their political objects, and ends by moving to in-
crease the Army by the amount of 5,000 men.
He very justly reprobates them for carrying dag-
gers and arming themselves with pikes, and he
hastens to organize a police throughout the coun-
try, and in three of the principal towns, to be
armed in some way or other, and drilled .so as to
overbear all resistance. The Chartists talk of
having a sacred holiday, and hint at the propriety
of compelling other men to come into their terms.
All the Journals of the Empire abuse them for
dreaming of compulsion ; the middle classes de-
nounce them as physical force men, and hasten,
much to the satisfaction of the journalists who assert
that it is a sin to have arms, to arm themselves
with the baton of the special constable. " Scoun-
drels," roars the yeoman after dinner, echoing with
vociferous lungs the lesson he has just learned from
the squire and the parson, " they talk of arming,
do they ? I'll arm then." And he girds on his
sword, brings down his fusee, and mounts his
cavalry horse, ready for the charge. These are but
types of what is going on throughout society ; and
from the first Minister of the Crown, down to the
most ignorant farmer, the use of physical force is
denounced, to arm is spoken of as a heinous offence,
and at the same time every man is ready to take up
or employ some kind of arms, and organise phy-
sical force to support his opinion. What is the
army—what the police—and what the yeomanry,
but an armed physical force ? It is not therefore,
arming in the abstract, or the use of physical force
in the abstract, which is condemned, but those
modes of attaining an object are condemned when
adopted by others. A monopoly must be had of
them to preserve other monopolies. The use of
physical force and the arming must be all of one
side—all against the masses, all in favour of the
few privileged classes, all to support political con-
stitutions as they are, and then they are right ; they
are only wrong when the object is to effect a change.
They are right, to maintain the monopoly
of electoral power—wrong to obtain Universal Suf-
frage ; right to support laws, such for example,
as the starvation code—wrong to extort free trade ;
right to preserve order, such as a purple-clad capon-
fed Hierarchy and meddling Aristocracy on the
one hand, and a ragged and starving, though in-
dustrious and ingenious people on the other—
wrong by their means to reverse this system, and
reduce the priests and the Nobles to dependence on
those whom they say they serve. It is all nonsense
for the privileged classes to decry the use of phy-
sical force, and of arming, for they adopt both, and
by both maintain their privileges.
As they say, it may be for the good of the ex-
cluded, unprivileged classes, for they do say this,
that they should maintain and preserve their privi-
leges by the sword ; but then they ought to change
their theories and their language, and ought to praise
the use of arms and of physical force when confined
to their side, and ought to tell the masses that
they are quite unable to judge of what is for their
own benefit, which they must leave to the few.
They should at once say that the people have
nothing whatever to do with the laws but blindly
to obey them ; with the taxes, but humbly and un-
repiningly to pay them, and then they will obtain a
a character for honesty and consistency, and have
a chance of preserving their power. It does not
add to their strength to stand convicted of hypocrisy.
They declaim against the use of force; and em-
ploy it ; they appeal to the people to judge of their
acts, and will not hear of a condemnation ; they
pretend to be only the servants of those whom they
insist on ruling, in spite of themselves, and whom
they will not allow to have a will or thought of
their own, much less a musket. The present
language and the acts of the privileged classes are at
variance ; they are a house divided against itself,
and to succeed they must begin by bringing their
own words and conduct into harmony. If they suppose
that their inconsistencies are not read and noted by
the masses, let them read what Mr. BRONTERRE
O'BRIEN addressed to the meeting on Kennington
Common on Monday. He said he had not exhorted
his followers and friends to arm till Lord J. Rus-
SELL had called on the respectable classes to arm.
To decry taking up arms, and at the same time to
arm, will not deceive the classes whom it is neces-
sary to humbug. They may be subdued, they may
be enslaved, but they can no longer be duped.
It has most unhappily, we grieve to say, been de-
cided by Parliament that the grievances of the peo-
ple shall not be redressed, that the Corn-laws shall
not be abolished ; that extravagance in every depart-
ment of the State shall be continued and extended ;
that the administration shall in every part be
made more costly and extensive ; that the Debt
shall be increased, and the taxes not remitted ; that
the franchise shall not be extended, nor any practi-
cal benefit conferred on the people ; and such being
the resolution of Parliament, and of the classes who
support it, they must be prepared for the other
alternative of subduing and enslaving those whom
they will not content. We see no other way of
continuing the society. The masses are as well
aware of the object of social institutions as the Mi-
nisters; and finding in their instance that object has
totally failed, knowing nothing of the laws but
through the privations, sufferings, and distress they
inflict, they can have no rational motive for obe-
dience, and must be put down by force. They are
now turning against the aristocracy its own maxims,
and are arming to attain their own object. They are
imitating their betters, and in due season, if they
obtain power, will use the gibbet and the bayonet,
just as the aristocracy does, to secure it. Arrayed
against those who will grant them nothing, they can
only be subdued by terror ; and accordingly the
army is increased, the yeomanry are preserved, and
the police is to be augmented. The question that
we formerly asked, how the people were to be go-
verned, is answered. They are to be enslaved.
Such a consummation of following out Tory prin-
ciples, governing the empire according to the wishes
of the Aristocracy and the Priesthood, and deny-
ing justice to the people, should make our States-
men and all the middle and upper classes, who have
at heart the preservation of our national liberties
and our imperial prosperity, pause and reflect on
their course, and resolve to try another.

When an old woman is hard pushed to " earn a
living," her friends say to her " Why don't you set
up a mangle?" Were it not that this is too honest
a shift to find favour with the old women who fre-
quent a certain house of bad faMe in the parish of
St. Margaret, Westminster, we would recommend
to them, when all other shifts fail them, to try their
hands at the craft and mystery of " mangling."
If we may judge from the specimens of handiwork
which, as mere amateurs, they are turning out
every night, under the scientific instruction of two
or three highly accomplished members of the
society, who have served a regular apprenticeship
to the trade, we really think • they have a good
chance of doing a fair stroke of business.

But to be serious—is it not " too bad" that
the Duke of WELLINGTON and the two Ex-
Chancellors should, apparently for no other reason
than to show their power, persist in mutilating and
destroying the Bills which have, after passing the
Commons, come under the cognizance of the Upper
House ? They ought to be held responsible for
the discredit and contempt thrown upon the Cham-
ber of Hereditaries, by the proceedings of which
they are the authors, for what can the poor noodles
who constitute the mass of the assembly of Oli-
garchs be expected to do but " follow their leaders ?"
l'hey are little better than automata, and are moved,
or at least shelter themselves under the pretext of
being moved, by wires pulled by men having the
credit of being wiser than they can pretend to be.

The news from the East is more curious than im
portant. In order that it may be fully appreciated we
quote the following paragraph from the Tempt, relative
to the negotiations between the Cabinets of London and
Paris, respecting the defection of the Turkish fleet :
" On the first news of the defection of the Capitan
Pacha having reached London, the English Cabinet
showed the greatest irritation against Mehemet for hay
ing accepted the surrender of the Turkish fleet. The
English journals became the organs of their irritation,
and exaggerated it. The English Cabinet saw in the
capture of the Turkish fleet the pretext for intervention
on the part of Russia ; and the integrity of the Ottoman
empire appeared to it menaced by the circumstance.
Perhaps the English Cabinet was not sorry to have cause
for being thus angry. At any rate the English Cabinet
took a resolution ab &at°, and demanded-Ist, That
Mehemet Ali should be immediately enjoined to sur-
render the fleet: 2dly, That, on his refusal, the Eng-
lish fleet shou'd receive orders to burn the Egyptian
fleet. This resolution, taken in a few hours after the re-
ceipt of the news, was transmitted to the Cabinet of the
Tuilleries, with an invitation to adopt a similar one and to
co-operate. The vivacity of the English resolution pro-
mised great obstacles to the prevalence of the more mode-
rate measures that France thought it just to propose. It
appears, however, that these obstacles have not been met
with. The French Cabinet substituted for the No propo-
sitions of England the following ones:—First, that the
Pacha should be invited by the two Courts to restore the
fleet : Second, That if he refused the Pacha should be told
that he would be allowed to make no use of the two fleets
against Turkey. The English Cabinet has consented to
those resolutions."

Whether the part of this statement which refers to
the conduct of the English Government he correct or
not, we cannot presume to determine ; but the impres-
sion is that it is altogether erroneous. However, the
Augsburg Gazette informs us that the propositions ap-
proved ot, if not actually suggested by the French Cabi-
net,were submitted to MEHEMET ALI by theConsuls-Ge-
neral of England and France, and distinct answers required
for the satisfaction of the two Governments. Nothing
could be more characteristic of the Viceroy than his re-
ported conduct on this occasion. With the gravity pe-
cular to good Mussulmans his Highness assured the
Consuls that he was himself the lowliest of the slaves
of the glorious and mighty Sultan ABD-UL-AIEJID ;
that all he possessed belonged to the Representative of
the Prophet ; that whether the fleet was at Alexandria
or in the Bosphorus it was equally within the SULTAN'S
dominions, and subject to his sway ; and finally,
that he was ready to accompany the fleet
himself to Constantinople on receiving a firman to
that effect from the Sublime Porte. This answer left
the Consuls without any excuse for anticipating conse-
quences ; and yet it must have been clear to them that
nothing was really gained by so frivolous a negotiation.
No such propositions ought to have been made, if it was
intended to learn the real designs of MEHEMET Au.
The course which the two Governments ought to have
pursued, was to have demanded that the Turkish fleet
should be delivered up to them under a joint guarantee
that it would not be employed against the VICEROY, in
the event of the SULTAN renewing hostilities. Such a
demand would at once test the sincerity, and discover
the real designs of MEHEMET ALI.
The only other piece of intelligence from the East is
contained in the following extract from a letter from
Alexandria, dated the 15th ult., which we quote from
the Augsburg Gazelle :
The English Government has presented a note to the
Pacha respecting the movement of his troops in the vicinity
of the Persian Gulf. The English demand whether the
Pacha intends to occupy Bassora. The Pacha laughed at
the idea as absurd, his only aim being to chastise the pi-
rates. But, to prove his good intentions, the Pacha has
sent orders to Kurschid to evacuate the Bahrein islands.
We do not credit this statement, Mehemet's influence being
great in the Persian Gulf. The war against the Nesdel
was undertaken for the sake of procuring 30,000 camels, in
order to carry on the war against Assir. Ismael Bey,
having been defeated near Deraich„Kurschid, with three
regiments, took Deraich, and the Prince Ebu Turki, and
marched upon Cosseir, which is but ten days' march from
Bassora. From Cosseir Kurschid hesitated if he should
riot march upon Bassora. But he was diverted from it by
the Arabs, and by the accounts which they gave of the
value of the pearl fishery of Bahrein. '

Letters and papers from Madrid, of the sth inst.,
have reached us, but they bring no intelligence of ge-
neral interest. The scrutiny of the elections for the
capital was not closed, but it was ascertained that
Senors ARGUELLES, MENDIZABAL, and CANTERO were
among the Deputies legally returned. Dispatches from
General O'DONNELL were received at the War Office
on the 4th, demanding two millions of reals for the sup-
port of his troops. Count TORLNO, who has just ar-
rived in Paris from a sojourn in Italy, has been returned
by the electors of Oviedo. The Exaltados are in high
spirits, as they confidently anticipate a majority in the
ensuing Cortes.

The French Cabinet is divided in opinion upon more
questions than those involved in the affairs of the East.
M. CUNIN GIUDAINE has pledged himself to reduce the
duty on colonial sugars, and as his colleagues have nei-
ther taken nor will approve of such a pledge, it is sup-
posed that some change in the Ministry must take
place. The question of reducing the Customs' duties
between France and England is also giving rise to touch
difference of opinion. Belgium has so improved in the

A letter from Posen, of the 3d instant, quoted by the
Commerce, states, that according to accounts from Po-
land, a camp is about to be formed at the gates of War-
saw, besides that already announced near Kalisch. It
will be composed of eight battalions of infantry of the
line, four battalions of foot chasseurs, 24 squadrons of Cau-
causian regular cavalry, one of horse artillery, and 32
guns. The Kalisch camp will comprise 16 battalions of
infantry of the line, eight battalions of foot chasseurs, 24
squadrons of hussars, 20 squadrons of Cossacks, and 64
guns. The amount of these corps is reckoned at 50 000
men. If we are to believe the aides-de-camp of Marshal
Paskew itsch, the two camps will form the vanguard of an
army of 120,000 men, to be assembled on the Borodino."
Letters from Rome mention that the young Princes
Camillo and Marc Antonio Borghese had taken their oaths
to the Pope, as Romish Princes, after their father's death.
The former styles himself Prince Aldobrandini. The

THE MAIMETS (THIS DAY.)

The Memorial des l'yrentes of the Bth contains the fo
lowing letter :

" To!osa, 7th August.
" It is reported among the best informed persons, that
three delegates from these provinces are going to France,
And are on their way to Paris, in order to solicit the medi-
ation of Lours PHILIPPE, and the marriage of one of his
sons with Queen IsanELLa ; it is affirmed that MAItOTO and
ESPARTERO have agreed in this step. Some Carlist
letters pretend that the three English Lords who are
now in the Provinces are come for a political purpose,
which is connected with the interview between Maroto and
Lori! Jolla flay. These assertions are completely false ;
the Noblemen in question are gone to the provinces merely
to gratify curiosity. These same letters publish a pro-
clamation by Maroto, dated from Orosco, the 23d
of July, in which he declares himself favourable to
an amicable arrangement. I have however, every reason
to believe that this document was f rged at Bayonne,
and the more so, as the Gazette of Onate makes no
mention of it. _

THE LXCHEQUEit BILLS' LOAN

As we were going to press we received the fo!.
lowing important correspondence relative to the
proposed Loan of four millions :

SIR,—`VC take the liberty of addressing you on the
subject of the proposed Funding of Four Millions of Ex-
chequer bills, and shall feel greatly obliged by your in.
forming us fur our own guidance, as well as for that of
the public generally .

I,t.—Whether Tenders can be made for any portion of
the above sum, or if it is necessary that the whole of the
four millions should be offered for at once, by each party
sending in proposals?
21.—1 f the Subscriptions should fall short of the four
millions, whether Tenders will be entertained ?

the four millions will be accepted on the terms proposed
by the different parties, or, if all the subscribers will be

Downing street, Aug. 14, Wednesday morning.
Gentlemen,_l have this morning received the favour
of your letter to me of yesterday's date, requesting some
explanations in reference to the proposals now before the
public for the funding of four millions of Exchequer bills.
In reply to your first question, viz,, Whether tenders
can be made for any part of the above sum, or, if it be ne-
cessary that the whole of the four millions should be offered
at once, by each party sending in proposals," I beg to say,
that under the Treasury notice of August 10, parties desirous
of contracting, may send in tenders for the whole amount
of the four millions ; but, if it be more convenient to the
several parties, the Treasury will not decline receiving se-
parate tenders for sums not being less in amount than
500,0001. each, of Exchequer Bills.

Your second inquiry is, " Whether if the subscriptions
should fall short of the four millions, tenders will be enter-
tained?" to which I have to observe, that the Treasury
will entertain any tenders which may be made, whether
for the whole sum of four millions, or for any portion of
that sum, provided that no tender be fur a less sum than
500,0001. in Exchequer Bills.

Your third question is, " If the Tenders, at various
prices for portions of the Four Millions will be accepted on
the terms proposed by the different parties, or if all the
subscribers will be admitted on equal terms, provided they
are above the minimum determined by her Majesty's
Ministers ?"

To which I have to inform you, that in the event of re-
ceiving separate tenders at different rates, for sums smal-
ler than the proposed sum of four millions, the
Treasury will give the preference successively to
those tenders which are above the price con-
tained in the sealed paper, (or in other words,
which contain an amount of stock in Three per Cent. Con-
sols, below the amount in that paper), on the terms pro
posed in each Tender ; and in the event that such Tenders
shall in their aggregate exceed the amount of Four Mil-
lions, the excess above Four Millions will be struck off the
least advantageous of those Tenders.

Subject to this condition, the parties will be admitted

I must further observe, that in case of equality of Ten.

in proportion to the Tenders.
