THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOITER 28,

which the Whigs. ached 19 wards of a coory ago,
and they reproach the latter with apostacy because
they have not stopped with the Tories, and have
adapted their conduct to the altered circumstances
of the country.
If our domestic circumstances, including the an-
nihilation of a large party opposed to the reigning
Sovereign, and centering their hopes in a Papal
Pretender supported by Catholic Europe,
are completely altered, the foreign relations
of the country are equally changed. The Papacy,
as a civil power, has ceased to exist, and, as a reli-
gious power, its influence in France, Spain, and
Austria, compared to its influence a century and a
half ago, is next to nothing. France has under-
gone a complete revolution, and though Catholicity
is still the religion of the majority of her subjects,
she has ceased to be a Catholic power. She is,
moreover, our ally. We may again quarrel with
her for political supremacy, but religion cannot
now be an element in our contests. Spain
is also our friend, and cares more for civil rights than
religious supremacy. The elements for a national
quarrel betwixt Catholics and Protestants no longer
exist in Europe. The great opponent, not to say
enemy, of England in politics is Russia, and
Russia has persecuted the Catholics. She is re-
proached with her attempts to convert the Catho-
lics of Poland to the Greek faith, and would no
where find more determined opponents than amongst
the Catholics of Ireland.

At present the policy of the empire and of the
Whigs is to unite all her MAJESTY'S subjects,
and, no longer making any distinction on account
of religion, because religion can no longer be a
source of a disputed succession or a national quar-
rel, to give all the sects in her dominions practi-
cally, as well as theoretically, equal civil rights.
The Tories, however, have blindly adopted
what was true policy of the ►'Whigs at the
end of the seventeenth century, and insist on act-
ing on the letter which killeth, while they reject the
spirit which giveth, life. They would make and
perpetuate differences between Protestants and
Catholics ; they would outrage the latter, and give
privileges and power to the former ; and they would
create in the heart of the empire eight millions of
disaffected subjects who might, if the Tories were
to rule, and a quarrel ensue between England and
either Russia or France, be converted into allies of
the QUEEN'S enemies. The Tories, in their pre-
tended love of Protestantism, still cling, as in the
reign of ANNE, to the errors of a byegone age.
The Whigs, true to the same principles they fol-
lowed in 1688, adapt their conduct to the circum-
stances of the times. Then it was right, when the
Papists were struggling with the Protestants for
supremacy, that the latter should secure their
victory ; now both Papists and Protest-
ants are equally the loyal subjects of the
QUEEN, and both equally merit the fullest pro-
tection in return for their obedience. The Whigs
have not apostatised, but the Tories have adopted
Whig policy a century after it has gone out of date,
and cry out against their opponents and against
society because they have not, like the Tories,
stood still. At the end of the 17th century
the safety of the empire required that the re-
ligious zeal of the Protestants should be nourished
against the Catholics, the Jacobites, and the Tories ;
now the safety of the empire requires that all quarrels
on account of religion should cease ; and those
are the wisest politicians who seek to unite around
the throne of the QUEEN, and for the defence of
the empire, all her subjects, whatever may be their
religious creed.

We have inserted elsewhere an article from the
Inverness Journal on the subject of Sir JAMES
CLARK'S "Statement," and on the spirit displayed
by the parties concerned in getting up what we
may call the '1 celebrated HASTINGS' case." The
Inverness Courier takes the same view of the case
that all the other newspapers in that part of the
kingdom, with, we believe, one solitary exception,
have adopted. The Scottish Press may, therefore,
be said to be unanimous upon the subject.
In England the Morning Post has had but few
imitators even among those of its Contemporaries
who embrace its own " whole hog" system of poli-
tical warfare. Sheer shame will sometimes supply
the place of virtue. This degraded print, there-
fore, stands almost alone in the glory of slandering
the innocent, and of attempting, by the basest
means, and from the basest motives, to excite
public hatred against the QUEEN for doing that,
which, to have left undone, would have stained the
honour of the Court, and exposed her MAJESTY
to the just censure of the moral and right-thinking
part of the community, as well as to the envenomed
attacks of that very party who have found in
the Morning Post a ready organ for the dissemina-
tion of their flagitious aspersions. The QUEEN
has offended this party—offended them beyond the
hope of forgiveness—by her frank and candid
avowal that she preferred their political opponents
to them, and by the firmness of purpose which she
evinced in carrying her avowed predilection into
practical effect. It is for this that her MAJESTY
is treated with so much " disloyal insolence ;" it
is for this unpardonable crime that she is designated
a "barbarian" by the mouth-piece of that traitorous
faction who have already been detected in one plot
for preventing her succession to the throne, and
would have no objection to enter into another to-
morrow for the purpose of dethroning her, but that
they know she has rooted herself too deeply in the
affections of the people, to leave them any chance
of success.

That the backers of the Morning Post meant to
have proceeded a few steps farther than " disloyal
insolence" there can be little doubt, among those
who have watched the proceedings of the faction.
Before the serpent swallows his victim he besmears
it with his slime. The Post was merely the utensi
employed to bespatter her MAJESTY, and it must be
allowed that the work was done in a scavenger-like
manner. Slime, and that of the most venomous ,
kind, was used in abundance; but, unfortunately for
the plotters, none of it would stick. It all rebounded
upon the assailants, covering them, if possible, with
a thicker coating of infamy than that which enve-
loped them before. Had it been otherwise—had
they succeeded in their preliminary project of
lowering the QUEEN in the esteem, and of alienating
from her the love of the people, the other acts of
the eventful drama would have followed in quick
succession, and Hanover would have supplied us
with a Sovereign more congenial to the taste of
Toryism.

So far, however, from injuring her MAJESTY,
the wicked attempt made to vilify her has had a di-
rectly contrary effect. It has acted, as such
attempts always will act upon the hearts of En-
glishmen. It has rendered its innocent object
dearer to them than ever. Wherever an oppor-
tunity occurs where masses of the people can
express their sentiments, there we find attachment
to the QUEEN manifested with a warmth which is
no less gratifying to the friends of morality, of
justice, of civil and religious liberty-, than it is
hateful and confounding to her persecutors.
A signal instance of this cordiality occurred only
the other day, which is worth recording, on account
of the marked contrast which the assembly drew
between the present and a late occupant of the
throne. Mr. JELLINGER SYMONS, while lec-
turing

We have not room to-day for the speech of the
ATTORNEY-GENERAL at Edinburgh. It con-
tains a straight-forward statement of what had been
done, and also of what had been undone, in
the last Session of Parliament. Though we
had reason at the time to blame some of his pro-
ceedings against the Chartists, we cannot deny him
the merit which he claims for having set his face
against any attempt to put them down by the mili-
tary, or to introduce gagging laws, after the fashion
of Tory Governments. His assertion on this sub-
ject is fully intitled to credit, for it is consistent
with his practice, which forms such a contrast with
that of a former Attorney-General, who had an
absolute rage for filing ex-sincio informations.

We stated on Friday last, that the Journal des
Debats was mistaken in asserting that the Cabinets
of London and Madrid had severally importuned
the French Government to grant passports to Don
CARLOS. We have the best authority for an-
nouncing that the statement which we then made
was perfectly correct. So far have the Govern-
ments of England and Spain been from soliciting
the liberation of the Pretender, that they have both
formally and diplomatically protested against such
a measure on the part of France. We regret to
have to add that such strong remonstrances had
become necessary, in consequence of the disposition
evinced by the French Cabinet, of paying more
regard to the wishes of the Northern Powers than
to the faith of a solemn treaty. But though
the passports are for the present with-
held, we doubt whether they will be so for
any considerable length of time, unless Louis
PHILIPPE happens to make a discovery of the
very obvious fact, that it is of far less importance to
him to conciliate Austria than to lose the confidence
of England and Spain. He ought to be sensible
by this time of the impotence of the Northern
Powers, as the Conservators of Royal dynasties,
when become obnoxious to the hatred of the
people ; and,las he has irretrievably lost the hie:A-
ship of the CZA R, it is in vain to endeavour to aver t
the consequences of Russian antipathy by courting
the embraces of Prince 'METTERNICH. The King
of the FRENCH repeats, with a well-feigned con-
viction of their force, all the set phrases of the Le-
gitimists about the unworthiness of acting as the
jailor of unfortunate Princes ; but he needs no
ghost to tell him that the restraining the actions
of a faithless, bigoted, and sanguinary despot is
more likely to be accepted as a guarantee of his
personal attachment to Liberal principles by the
French people, than his letting loose CARLOS is
to be attributed to any generous impulse. The
extent of his commisseration for the unhappy is too
well known to be mistaken in an instance of this
sort. There are situations in which it is the inte-
rest of despots to express the greatest horror of
despotism ; and LOUIS PHILIPPE can afford to
do so with the better grace as, by an existing treaty,
he is precluded from extending that Regal hospita-
lity to the Pretender of which he affects to be
so enamoured. But after all we can hardly per-
suade ourselves that the King of the FRENCH would
prefer being charged with a breach of a solemn
Treaty, ratified in conjunction with three other
Sovereigns in the face of all Europe, than with
being wanting in Regal commisseration for the
well-merited misfortunes of a rebel member of the
Spanish BOURBON family.

Letters and papers from Madrid, of the 19th
inst., state that the Fueros Bill was under discus-
sion in the Senate, where it was warmly supported
by the Members of the Government. The Depu-
ties postponed the debate on the address in answer
to the speech from the Throne, fixed for the 18th,
till after the adoption of the Fueros Bill by the
upper branch of the Legislature.

The QUEEN REGENT has conferred the Grand
Cross of Isabel the Catholic on General MAROTO.

CABRERA is stated to have made vast prepara-
tions for the defence of all his strong holds in Ca-
talonia, Arragon, and Valencia. Can tavieja,
Morella, and Segura, are provisioned each for a
year ; and for more than five leagues around them
the roads are either entirely destroyed or blocked
up with immense rocks, so as to prevent the ap-
proach of cavalry and heavy guns. It was the
prevailing opinion in Madrid that if ESPARTERO
succeeded in dislodging him before the spring, he
will have well earned all the honours recently
showered upon him by his grateful Sovereign.

The news brought by the French "Journals of
Friday and Saturday is varied and interesting,
though not of much political importance. It con-
sists for the most part of an account of the pro-
gress of the war in Circassia ; of the latest diplo-
matic gossip from Constantinople and Alexandria ;
and of the aspect of affairs in Spain—the substance
of which will be found under the proper heads in
another part of The Sun. Of domestic news we
find little or nothing of any moment in any of the
French Journals.

The Quo/idiot:re, a Carlist organ, states that
CABRERA attacked and defeated General DIEGO
LEON at Arniella, and took two battalions and three
squadrons prisoners, besides capturing three pieces of
cannon. It is a less questionable fact that the same
CABRERA caused the unfortunate Brigadier-Ge-
neral BERENGERO to be shot, for proposing all
accommodation with the QUEEN'S Government.
Among the inhuman atrocities committed on both
sides we learn with horror and indignation that
the Christinos, by way of reprisal, caused the
daughter of PALILLos, a young girl only seventeen
years of age, to be led forth and publicly shot !
The Sentinelle des Pyrenees, has an article, beaded
"TheEnglishinGuipuscoa,"complainingoftheoccupation
of Passages on the coast of Spain by the English. The jour-
nal allows that it might he necessary for the English to
raise fortifications during the war, and does justice to the
bravery displayed by them on many occasions ; but
adds, now that the provinces arc pacified, the coast
has nothing to fear from the Carlists, of what use, then,
are the English at Passages ? Let it not be said that
the French Government has counterbalanced the in-
fluence of England by sending the Hermione to anchor
in the port. This is no counterbalance at all ; for in
the first place the English have two ships of war and
all the advantages of the position ; Great Britain
has what France has not, the Royal Marines, who
are well disciplined, consisting of the finest
and most intrepid men ; they are quartered in the
Jesuit Convent, which they have made the gate
of the town, so that if anybody wants to go to St. Se.
bastain, they must pass through the English Furcw
Caudinw. At a short distance from Lese you have an
English redoubt on your right hand; beyond the Pond,
near La Herrera, you have another on your left, and
some others in different parts. In short, the English
redoubts command everywhere, and the post itself is
entirely in the power of the English ; it is enclosed on
both sides by the heights, of which they have taken
possession, so that if they had a mind to drive us from
Passages, they would burn the Hermione by the fire of
their forts, without our being able 'o make any resistance ;
nothing would be more easy. Our seaman are almost
always on board, the English troops are always on
shore, living among the people, fraternising with
them, perhaps giving parties. The French are
hardly known, the English are as if they were natives of
the country. Such is the position which this eternal
rival of France has gained at Passages. We do not,
however, accuse—we warn ; and being persuaded that
without English

CRIMINAL coURT.—(THIS DAY )

OLD COURT

George Cant, a respectable looking man, was in-
dicted for a rape upon Jane Bolland on the 4th of the
present month. _ .

Mr. Adolphus and Mr. Ballantync conducted the
case for the prosecution ; and Mr Phillips and Mr.
Bodkin defended the prisoner.
After a lengthened investigation the Jury returned a
verdict of guilty.

NEW COURT.
(Before the RECORDER.)
Win. and Frtderick Hager were indicted for as-
saulting Thomas Reynolds and Wm. Lawrance, two
constables of the Walthamstowe Police, in the execu-
tion of their thity, on the night of the 28th of St'ptem.
ber last.

It appeared from the evidence given by the police,
and two inhabitants of lArdthairistowe, who were
called from their beds, that about half-past eleven
o'clock on the night named in the indictment the
prosecutors were oti duty, and saw a crowd of nearly
twenty persons conducting themselves very riotously
near the Coach and Horses, one man was on the
ground, and appeared to have been knocked down by
one of the prisoners. Reynolds went up and wArneti
them to disperse, when one of the prisoners
threw off his coat and began to attack him.
He wrenched his stick from him, and beat
him very severely. He gave an alarm, and Lawrance,
his brother constable came up to his assistance, but he
was immediately attacked by the other prisoner—his
stick was taken from him—both the constables were
knocked down, and so severely treated that both of them
were bleeding, and it was scarcely expected that
Reynolds would live during the night. The police-
men having been taken home a surgeon attended,
to dress their wounds, and information was given at the
station house. The sergeant and two other constables
went to the house of the prisoners' mother, but they both
effected their escape by a back door. The police took a
younger brother, but he was liberated, not being
identified as one of the parties. While lie was
in Reynold's house the two prisoners forced the door
rushed in and attacked the Sergeant and the two con-
stables—they were very violent, and the Sergeant was
ob,iged to use his cutlass, by which both of the prisoners
were severely cut on the head and legs—the prisoner,
William Hagger, was so violent that he could not be
secured until he was knocked down with a handcuff,
which severely cut his cheek. They were eventually
secured and lodged in the Station-house, where their
wounds were dressed. The policeman, Lawrence, was
much marked, and Reynolds was still lame from the in-
juries he received.

Mr. PRENDERGAST addressed the Jury at consider-
able length for the prisoners, and contended that the
witnesses had very considerably coloured the evidence.
The Jury found the prisoners guilty. Some of them
were anxious to recommend them to mercy, but the
Learned Recorder said he could not take it as part of
the verdict, unless they all agreed in it.
The RECCMDER sentenced them to he imprisoned in
the House of Corroction for nine ,al,nflar months.

HATTON-GARDEN.-(THIS DAY.)

PROSECUTION OF A SON BY HIS PARENTS.—A
hardened young ruffian, named William Charles Pellet!,
who behaved throughout the whole of the proceedings
with the most impudent nonchalance, was placed at the
bar, charged with stealing a silver snuff-box, the pro
perty of his father.

The father, a respectable looking man, who carrics on
the business of an egg merchant in Bloomsbury Market,
stated that the prisoner, who is nineteen years of age,
was his son ; that he had apprenticed him to various
masters, with none of whom would he stay, declaring
that he never would, work for his living ; that latterly
he had taken him borne, whet...-. he had been in the habit
of stealing everything he could lay hands on, and ex-
pending the proceeds of his plunder in the rookery at
St. Giles's, among thieves of the lowest order, and
that he was unwillingly forced to bring him before a
Magistrate, in order, if possible, to save him from de-
struction.

The mother of the prisoner, who was so much af-
fected as to be scarcely able to give her evidence,
stated that on Saturday last she saw the snuff box pro-
duced, which is the property of her husband, safe in the
secretary. That the prisoner shortly after came in,
and on his going out again the snuff-box was gone. On
his return in the evening he was given into custody.
J. Baynton, a pawnbroker, proved that the prisoner
pledged the box with him for twelve shillings.
The prisoner, in his defence, said he was in liquor.

He was fully committed.

THE POLICE AND THE APPLEWOMEN.—Mary
111u!looney was charged with creating an obstruction,
and following her worldly calling on the Sabbath.
It appeared that the defendant had been selling fruit
in Goswell-street yesterday afternoon, and had been
warned repeatedly against creating an obstruction, that
site moved off when told, but immediately returned to
her old situation.

The policeman said be was obliged to take her into
custody, for she followed him to the station-house, and
would not go away.

In her defence she said she had no other way of
maintaining herself and her husband, who was ill in bed.
Inspector Penny said he knew what she stated was
a fact, as regarded her husband.
Mr. GREENWOOD—You have committed two of.
fences, pursuing your worldly calling on the Lord's
Day, and creating an obstruction. Will you promise
not to do so again ?

Defendant—l will not go out during the time of
service ; but what am Ito do, I am willing to work, but
can get none? I must get my living.
Mr. GREENWOOD—Not in an unlawful way. I shall
discharge you now, but if the practice is continued, I
must enforce the strict letter of the law by way of
example.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

(THIS DAY,)

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF A SPANISH NOBLEMAN
AT THE CLARENDON HOTEL BY HIS SERVANTS.—
Amongst the night c;‘arge, brought to this office this
mornin, was the following one of extensive robbery. A
Spaniard of dwarf stature, twenty-six years of age, and
very fashionably dressed, was charged with stealing one
diamond pin of the value of '2501., an emerald pin value
501., a ruby ring, a quantity of goid and silver foreign
coin, a 20/. and a Si. Bank of England Notes, a large
quantity of wearing apparel, and other property to the
amount of 4,5001., belonging to his master, Count
Nicholas Santos Shuaraz, a Spanish nobleman of high
distinction. It appears that the Count was on a visit
of pleasure to this country, and for the last few weeks
occupied a suite of apartments at the Clarendon Hotel,
New Bond-street. The prisoner had accompanied his
Lordship to England in the capacity of travelling ser-
vant, and unlimited confidence was placed in his integ-
rity. On Saturday afternoon between 4 and 5 o'clock,
the Count returned home, after taking equestrian exer-
cise in Hyde Park, and was surprised at finding his
servant absent, and the doors of his apartments all
locked. On one of them being forced, the discovery was
made that several drawers had been broken open, and
For icns of their contents were strewed about the floor,
and the property in question was directly missed. In-
formation of the occu►rence was immediately sent to the
police station-house of the C division, in Vine-street,
Piccadilly, and Inspector Beresford, after proceeding
to the Clarendon ,and closely investigating all the circum-
stances under which the robbery was committed, proceeded
to trace out the prisoner, whom he knew by sight. Sus-
pecting that,as he was a foreigner, and could not speak any
language but his own, that he would immediately make
for the Continent, the inspector resolved on overlook-
ing every steam-vessel leaving the port of London for
foreign ports ; and just before ten o'clock yesterday
morning, as he was stepping on board the City of Bou-
logne steam ship, then just about to start from London
Bridge Steam Packet Wharf, he saw the prisoner stand-
ing on deck amongst the passengers. The recognition
seemed to be mutual, for the prisoner instantly darted
forward, and was found concealed in a water-closet.
The whole of the property was found in his possession ;
the emerald pin he was wearing in his cravat. He made
not the slightest resistance.
Since he has been in custody he has shown much
vivacity for a person in his situation. He has endea-
