• _4_
The debate on the Spanish question terminated last
night, by a majority in tizsonr of Ministers of 36. This
w is greater than the Tories tspected, and would have been
still more satisfactory, had all the Reformers done their
duty. But there are trimmers among them—tnen who
speculate on a change of Ministry, and who are conse-
quently shy of mixing themselves up too closely with what
they imagine to be a declining Government. Now, these
men should be made an example of. The Liberal consti•
tuencies throughout the country should look closely to the
k-t of last night's division, and call upon those who were
absent from the House, to account for that absence. The
Spanish discussion was one which should have rallied all
true Reformers round the Ministry, for it was a question of
1;f0 or death to the principle of Reform, here, as well as
abroad. Had the Tories succeeded, they would at once
have ensccnced themselves in Downing-street ; Ireland
would Lave been convulsed to its centre ; distrust and dis-
content universally rife in England ; and the flames of war
lighted up throughout Europe. But, thank heaven, justice
and common sense have triumphed ; and Sir ROBERT
PEEL'S hopes of an immediate possession of office are ad-
journed sine die. Ministers will persevere in their present
policy towards Spain ; Reform will still proceed ; and the
Tories be compelled, as before, to wither in the " cold
shade" of Opposition.
If ever there was a motion detrimental to the moral in-
fluence of the faction, it was that brought forward so ex-
ultingly by Sir H. HARDINGE. Stripped of all the glozing
sophistry which the Tories flung around it, what was its
m.nu object ? Why, to prove that as the British Legion
had met with reverses—it was no longer trust-worthy—
no longer fit to represent the national 'heroism ! And
who was it that insisted so pertinaciously on this
argument ? One of the veterans of the Peninsular cam-
paign, who must himself have known—none better—
that war, even under the most auspicious circumstances, is
full of vicissitude, and that the vanquished of to-day, may
be the victor of to-morrow. Did Sir H. HARDINGE'S
great idol, the Duke of WELLINGTON, never meet with
reverses? Did he never lose ten thousand men in the re-
treat from Burgos? Suppose, that the Opposition of those
da)s had made that single disaster the peg whereon to
hang a three nights discussion—suppose they had said,
that in consequence of such defeat, his Grace and his
brave troops were no longer qualified to represent the
" national heroism"—what would have been the reply of
the Tories ; what the feeling of the country ? Why, both
would have repelled such an idea with indignation, and
visited those who urged it with their bitterest contempt.
Yet we have lived to see these same Tories insisting on
this same argument, and making the sufferings of their gal-
lant countrymen, the ladder on which to mount to power
Never yet was party so degenerated as these Tories.
The old school, however bigotted, had at least manliness
and sincerity to recommend it ; but the new school is re-
markable only for its low pedlar cunning—its sophistry—
and its inconsistency. The old Tories stuck to their text ;
they did not hoist false colours : but the modern Tories
depart from it every day in the week ; they are Reformers,
yet hate Reform ; advocates for the people, yet holding
them in supreme abhorrence ; statesmen of the day, yet with
their thoughts exclusively directed to the past. Is it for such
men to presume to talk of the vacillations of the Ministry?
Before they condemn their opponents, let them justify the
inconsistencies of their own leader, Sir ROBERT PEEL.
Let them explain to us how it happens, that he who is
averse to every practical and intelligible measure of Re-
form ; who has opposed every Ministerial plan that the
cointry has sanctioned with its approval ; expects to take
offiec!, without eating up—digest he cannot—every syllable
that bo has uttered in Parliament for the last year and
upwards. When these discrepancies are explained to our
satisfaction, then we will admit that the faction, of which
the Right fl6.p. Baronet is the organ, have some right to
complain of the inconsistency of Government. But till
then, let it hold its peace.
Never was there a more humiliating figure than the
Tories cut last night ! Take, for example, the speech of
one of their Magnates, Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT, " He
had no interest whatever," said this adroit special pleader,
" in the success of Don CARLOS ;" he abhorred his " de-
crees and acts ;" was “. neither their abettor, apologist, nor
vindicator"—yet notwithstanding this, he was warmly in
favour of a motion, one of the main objects of which, was
to help this discarded of the Tories to a Throne ! It
,has been well said, " tell me your company, and I'll
to 11 who you are," and the Tory party is a happy
exemplification of the truth of this old adage. Their
soppkirt of Don Nltnuet. and Don CaaLos ; their sym-
pathy with their reverses, never shown to their own brave
countrymen of the Legion ; their gentle deprecation of
these 'Princes' errors ; and their avowed approval of their
,beneficent policy ;—these things prove, beyond a doubt,
" who" and what the Tories " are:' Despotism trium-
phent is their idol. Despotism in reverses, the object of
th,•ir fondest commiseration. Their lips, it is true, repu-
diate.
,Don CARLOS, but their heart yearns towards him.
11, i, e.he impersonation of Toryism. Hence the motion
of Sir h'ENRY HARDINGE. Hence the wish to obstruct
publi • business, and to embarrass Ministers by a debate of
three nights' duration.
It is: with deep regret that we come to the consideration
Of Mr_ ROE-eta:es speech. It was impolitic—which is
tad. It was ungenerous—which is worse. The Hon.
Gente/Imi evidently fancied that Ministers were in ex-
ros ; be was resolved, therefore, to show his valour by

giving them the last kick. It is somewhat singular that
the only two occasions on which this Gentleman has made
a dead-set at Government have been, first, at the open-
ing of the Session, when he knew nothing of their plans ;
and secondly, in the Spanish debate, when he fancied that
they could not do without his support. We cannot
commend such conduct. There is a want of magnamity
about it, irreconcileable with our notions of a manly, strait-
forward Radical. Has Mr. ROEBUCK more hopes of a
PEEL, than of a MELBOURNE, Cabinet ? Does he suppose
that the former will go on, where the latter would shrink
back ? That the cause, of which he is unquestionably an
able advocate, will gain more by the retirement, than by the
continuance, of the present Government in office ? The
secret of Mr. ROEBUCK'S conduct may be found, we sus-
pect, in his exceeding love of notoriety. He is ambitious
of moving in a sphere of his own—of being a great, and
unapproachable Unit. And so he is ; and so, we have the
pleasure of assuring him, he is long likely to be. The Re-
formers in the House evince, as yet, no symptoms of
coming round to his way of thinking. They stand by the
Ministers, who, take them all in all, are unquestionably
the best set of men we have yet had. They do not shift
to all points of the compass, like the Tories ; or run, like
Mr. Rornucx, afterAthe first Will-o'-the-wisp that catches
their eye ; but move steadily onward—not perhaps so quick
as we could desire, but still at a pace quite sufficient to sa-
tisfy the rational expectations of the country.
Lord PALMERSTON'S speech was incomparably the most
effective that has been delivered this session. It left no-
thing unsaid—no argument unanswered—no sophistry un-
exposed. Sir ROBERT PEEL attempted a reply, but it was
a very so-so affair, as he himself felt, by the soreness and ir-
ritability that occasionally characterized his remarks.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who closed the debate, con-
trasted the situation of the country when the Tories
threw up office in 1830, with what it was at the pre-
sent period, in. his most pungent and sarcastic manner.
His MAJESTY, he said, need not be afraid to dine at Guild-
hall now ; and a farmer might go to rest, without fear of
being roused from his nap by the sight of his barns in a
state of conflwiration. Let the Tories. but resume office,
and the farmer will do well to sit up all night ; and his
MAJESTY to decline the next invitation to dinner he may
receive from the Lord Mayor.

The very circumstance that a motion such as that of Sir
HENRY HARDINGE should be brought forward in a Bri-
tish Parliament must excite deep regret in the breast of
every freeman, and call forth the indignation of the ene-
mies of despotism against the man who was placed on a
throne to defend liberal institutions, and is now the first to
trample on them. Had LOUIS PHILLIPPE remained faith-
ful to his engagements, such a motion never would have
been made by any Member of the .House, if we except
Mr. GFOVE PRICE ; nor would the powers of Europe have
so long lavished their money in support of Don CARLOS.
In 1834, when the King of the FRENCH was believed to
be sincere, the Duke of WELLINGTON avowed his determi•
nation to maintain the Quadruple Treaty, and one of the
first acts of his Government was to send stores and arms
to Spain in support of the QUEEN ; that treaty
was to be maintained at all hazards, and ths,
foreign policy of the MELBOURNE Administration
strictly adhered to. Whiit is his policy now ?
To recall the British Legion, to limit i❑ every posskle way
the services of the British navy and marines, to leave Don
Carlos to march on -Madrid, and satiate his revengeful
spirit in the blood of those men whose cause the Duke but
two years ago engaged to defend. That is the policy now,
however the party may conceal their real sentiments.
Louts Pill LIPPE and the Northern Powers have come to
an understanding on the nature of the support which he is
to give to Constitutional Government ; and the frequent
visits of some of our Tory statesmen to Paris since the
spring of 1835 and the period at which the motion has
been brought forward, leave little doubt that they have
been parties in the conspiracy to suppress liberal institu-
tions in the Peninsula. If we look for a moment to the
effect of Louts PHILIPPE'S conduct on the Carlist troops,
and also on those who profess to serve the cause of
the Qu EEN, but are ready to join the successful
party, we can he at nojoss to account for the present posi-
tion of affairs in Spain. But the friends of liberty have
not mile!) to fear. Though Loris PHILIPPE and the
Northern Powers combine to put down liberty, and though
they are secretly abetted in that by the Tories in England,
the spirit which animates the great portion of the people of
France and England, is too powerful to be conquered. The
leading statesmen in France, and the greater part of the
French people, are friendly to the cause of the QUEEN ;
and but a short period nsust elapse, before the King of the
FRENCH is compelled to accept a Ministry entertaining the
samq sentiments, and ready to support the Liberal party in
England against Don Calmos, and the despotic Powers
of Europe.

la another part of The Sean will be seen some extracts
from a letter addressed by Mr. O'CONNELL to the Secre-
tary of the General Association of Ireland. The Hon.
Gentleman hesitates not to state his conviction that the
restoration of Tory domination would occasion a convul-
sion, and be a signal for the commencement of civil war.
To avert so dreadful a calamity he advises Tiis countrymen
to reiterate the cry of agitation from Cape Clear to the
Giant's Causeway—from Connemara to the Hill of Howth.
" Call (be says) upon your gracious Sovereign to save
the high-minded, the generous, the brave, the loyal people
of Ireland from the prospect of scenes at the sight of which
human nature would shudder—seek the shield of the be-
neficent Monarch who now happily rules these realms, to
protect his faithful people of Ireland from the machinations
of their and his enemies.
"Especially pray the representatives of the British nation
to rally round the first Ministry which ever showed them-
selves the real friends of Ireland, and to declare their entire
confidence in the policy which has dictated a course of
conduct equally wise and useful to the entire empire."
The course which Mr. O'CONNELL recommends his
countrymen to adopt is not only strictly constitutional, but
seems best calculated to secure the integrity of the empire,
and to save us from the horrors of that civil war at which
the Hon. Gentleman deprecatingly glances as an alterna-
tive within the limits of possibility.

The Paris Journals of Tuesday have all been received.
They bring a report of the proceedings in the Chamber of
Deputies, up to the departure of the mails. On Tuesday,
Count Mor.E, the President of the Council, attended by
his colleagues, occupied, for the first time since the last re-
construction of the Cabinet, the Ministerial benches. The
business of the day was commenced with the reading of a
document by the President of the Council, which might be
indifferently called a Royal Message and a Ministerial
Manifesto. It commenced with informing the Chamber
that the marriage treaty between the Duke of ORLEANS
and the Princess of MECKLENBURG-SCHWERIN had been
concluded ; and that, as a matter of course, the Chamber
_would be called upon to provide an establishment for the
DUKE and DUCHESS, commensurate with their future ex-
pectations. The KING left the Chamber to fix the amount.
The President of the Council next informed the Chamber
that the KING had given his consent to the withdrawal
of the NEMOURS Appanage Bill. This is a great
triumph obtained by the people of France over both the
KING and his Ministers. The KING saw that the Appa-
nage Bill would be lost, and therefore he consented to with-
draw it, to escape the consequences of so disgraceful a de-
feat. Respecting their own conduct, Ministers refused to
offer any pledge. They were known, and would be judged
by their acts, not by their professions. So be it, say we.
When the PRESIDENT retired, Marshal CLAUSEL delivered
a long speech on the Supplementary Credits' Report, in which
he denounced the conduct of the Government towards him
in depriving him of his command, without allowing him an
opportunity of wiping off the stain which the defeat before
Constantine had cast on his military reputation. He in-
stanced the liberal treatment that the Duke of WELLING-
TON had received from his Government when driven from
before Burgos, and maintained that he himself was not
less worthy of similar indulgence. The debate had not
terminated up to post hour.

Madrid papers to the 11thinst. inclusive have reached,
but their contents are unimportant.

New York Papers to the 25th ult. inclusive have been
received. The Money Market, which daily goes on from
bad to worse, in consequence of recent advices from Europe.
is the only important topic dwelt upon in these journals,
Several important failures have taken place in New York,
New Orleans, and other commercial districts throughout
the Union. On the I ith ult. some stocks bad fallen ten
per cent. in New York, and others were threatened with a
decline equally rapid and ruinous to the holders. The
want of money was so extreme, that the great commercial

house of Messrs. JOSEPH and Co. bad been compelled to
suspend payments ; and to add to the pressure, advices
were received, which were afterwards found to be too
true, that the firm of HERMANN, BRIGS, and Co., of
New Orleans, had failed to the amount of three mil-
lions of dollars. Several Banks had united to sustain
the credit of this House, but up to the date of live pa-
pers nothing had been done in the way of a eedaite ar-
rangement.
Letters from Vera Cruz announce the arrival of Ge-
neral SANTA ANA in Mexico, where he was received
with great coolness by the people, and still gre ate • by the
public authorities. On the 25th of February t►e Mexi
can Congress had nominated General BUSTAMENTE to
the Presidency, and it was expected that he would be re-
turned by an immense majority. It is expected that the
new President will formally disannul the treaty signed by
SANTA ANA, recognizing the independence of Texas.

Want of space prevents us from inserting to-day the ob-
servations which we had prepared on the Finsbury Reform
dinner. But the subject is so important, that a reference
to it at any time cannot fail to command the attention of
all honest Liberals.

Nothing of any importance took place in any of the

ROCHDALE ELECTION.

CLOSE OF THE POLL.

J. Fenton, Esq.
C. Royds, Esq

. 383
339

Majority for Mr. Fenton
This makes a difference of two votes in favour of the
Liberals.

The result as to Rochdale is, that out of 695 votes in 1835,
the Tories had a majority of 43; and now, of 722 votes, the
Reformers have a majority of 44. If it be said that the Re-
formers have carried this election, as the Tories did the last,
by the gin-shop and beer-barrel, we may answer that, while
there were a great number of open houses for the other party,
the Reformers had not one open house throughout the borough ;
that the Committee set out with the declaration that they would
sanction none but lawful expenses, and they possessed no fund
out of which to defray any; and that, during Monday and
Tuesday, tl:e great majority of the persons to be seen stag-
gering along the streets, either wore blue favours, or shouted
" Blue for ever," or gave some other equally strong proof of
their having been in the strongholds of the Tories.—illanches-
