LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 17, 1837.

It is singular enough that Sir ROBERT PEEL in
the imaginary picture which he drew of the Govern-
tent in his remarkable speech the other night, painted
Iq striking colours his own condition at the close of the
Year 1830. If there ever was a government that
‘‘
shamefully abandoned the vessel of the state," it was
the government of the Duke of WELLINGTON. The
DUKE and Sir ROBERT PEEL were pressed with
ulfficulties from abroad, the country at home was re-
lueed by their mismanagement to a state of anarchy--
the cry of reform stunned their ears—all, or even one
°f these, would have been a sufficient ground for re-
Lguing office, but to have resigned on such pleas
*°llld have amounted to an admission that they were
lneapable of governing the country ; and therefore
making their defeat on the question of the Civil List
`` a pretext," they abandoned office to escape from
the difficulties with which they were surrounded.
to rhe crew deserted the vessel, and left to their
enemies the task of saving it from the damages which
threatened to overwhelm it." Never was there an ad-
-Ininistration which showed such an utter want of judg-
Ment on the great question that agitated the public
mind, or such cowardice in facing difficulties, and yet
these are the men who have the assurance to proclaim
ay after day that the country cannot be saved without
(lthem. The people know how to appreciate such lan-
guage. The Tories within the last six years have been
twice weighed in the balance and found wanting, and
I.),i'43vided Lord MELBOURNE shows that. firmness and
determination of which we believe him capable, many
Leln will yet elapse before they have a. third trial.
hese men reject with scorn the imputation that
tli''re are certain parties who seek by low intrigue
t 0
; overturn the Government, and then to bring
rt: maturity the measures introduced by their oppo-
-4118. Why, what but low intrigue overturned the
'lllioußNE Administration in 1834 ? What was
Plea of Lord ELLENBOROUGH for his party
t4ii"ng office in 1832 but that of bringing to maturity
Reform Bill introduced by Lord GREY, and on
'it did Sir ROBERT PEEL rest his claim to public
confidence in 1835 but a fair trial—a trial whether he
tet'lld not carry out tilt' principles of Reform better
„ ha
r,-L his opponents? But they reject the imputation
'Ow intrigue now. We give them the benefit of the
4:11,1. We admit they have tried it too often in vain,
100 recently to succeed ; but is their plan not more
401:Ztrous to the best interests of the people ? Is it
the In„..2re dangerous to reject every great measure sent to
44, UPper House by the Representatives of the people,
tow'lltlt a stop to all public business till the Lords be al-
tottitd to Conduct the affairs of the country and controul
old „ICING and Commons as they ever did under the
ject:orcuglimongering system ? That is the plan pro-
d
by Lord LYNDHURST—it is now taken up by
and the people may rest satisfied it will be
eve
.eviered in till a second reform crisis settles for
t the question, whether the people or a grasping
i.hlB4lTelly are to be masters. The Government in the
mu ne have only one safe course to pursue—to
Ceti
)' out unflinchingly, and to the full extent, the
the' at •
the 4.rinciples on which they resumed office—to leave
2into of rejecting them to the House of Lords ;
grem, when the day of trial comes, they will find the
t body 01 the people as ready and determined as
theY were in 1832 to support them in the great cause
of re form.
"We h

:ave ever held but one opinion respecting the
4°l icY which it behoved the English and French
° *ernmenta to adopt, in order to effect the pacifica-
tionf
the
' of the Peninsula. From the commencement
io
t"ie :fratricidal struggle which saturates Spain witht
that of of her children, we have uniformly maintained
14. t Ileace and liberty must go hand in hand in tran-
lellilk ing that country ; and that, to eradicate the
CI, se* of bloodshed and rebellion, a French and Eng-
fo rce, adequate to the destruction of the Carlist
awctiour ought to enter the Peninsula, and at once

_iltb3n, arid of her Majesty Queen ISABEL we.
I
;vas :intervention, not co-operation, for whicLA
h we. con-
t
ehn4cl; and if at any time we lauded the conduct of
e Ministry in aiding by co-operation the cause of
an Queen of SPAIN, it was because we trusted that
4 imperfect co-operation on the part of so powerful
and high-minded a nation as Great Britain would
!ire cost certainly end in a successful intervention. We
ntill of the same opinion, notwithstanding the
motion which Sir HENRY LIARDINGE, on the part
1 of cor:servatives, proposes to submit to the House
btf Con/1010 to-night, and which we understand will
be pressed to a division with a view to upset the p
sent Cabinet. The motion we refer
to stands thus Ofth the Order Book in the list of notices
of motions
'or this evening :---
pre" Sir H. Hardinge—to move that an humble address be
sented to his Majesty, praying that his Majesty will be
L"I
lII,Lci°II9IY pleased not to renew the order in council of the
hj June, 1835, granting his Majesty's royal license to British
u sOects t to
order i nlist into the some of the Queen of pain
en
council will ex ire on the 10th June next; and
greying Also, that-his Majestyp will be graciously pleased to

give directions that the marine forces of his Majesty shall
not be employed in the civil contest now prevailing in Spain,
otherwise than in that naval co-operation which his Majesty
has engaged to afford, if necessary, under the stipulations of
treaty."
We have no fears as to the success of this double
attack upon the MELBOURNE Ministry and the
Spanish Constitution ; and therefore we would be de-
lighted were some Honourable Member to sound the
disposition of the House by moving an amendment to
the effect that his Majesty be implored to send a land
force to co-operate with his fleet on the Cantabrian
coast. This would be the way to turn the weapons of
the Tories against themselves ; for we are confident
that such an amendment, if moved by any influential
member of the Liberal party, would be carried by a
large majority. Spain would hail such a vote of the
British House of Commons as a sure earnest of her
political and social regeneration, and she would at last
exert her utmost energies to prove herself worthy of
the immense interest thus taken in her pacification.
Nor would such a step be either unnecessary or
premature. Take it we must, sooner or later, if we
would see the Constitution of 1812, as amended by
the Cortes, become the political Magna Charta of
Spain. The sacrifices we would be called upon to
make would not be much greater than they are at pre-
sent ; and as to the apprehensions of a war with any
of the Great Northern Powers who might actively
espouse the cause of the Pretender, which a Morning
Contemporary appears to entertain, we may dismiss
them as the waking fancies of a morbid imagination.
It would be idle to attempt to conceal from Minis-
ters the dissatisfaction with which the British people
regard the system of co-operation adopted by France
and England, in pursuance of the stipulations entered
into by the signing of the Quadruple Treaty. The
people of England are a frank, honest, plain-dealing
race, who pretend not to understand, and in their
hearts despise, the subtleties of a diplomatic system
of policy. They are for decided and decisive mea-
sures—for peace or war ; but they know nothing of a
state in which they cannot hope to achieve the
glory of the one, nor reap the security of the other.
Intervention they can comprehend ; and even what
M. THIERS calls " translimitation," is only novel to
them in name ; but the co-operation system is as un-
suited to the genius as it is above the capacity of
four-fifths of the English people. The true policy
of the Cabinet, therefore, consists, not in abandoning
the co-operation system altogether, but in changing it
into a system of direct and avowed intervention. We
have advanced too far to recede without disgrace ;
and to avoid subjecting Spain to the fatal consequences
of an impertinent, because powerless interference on the
part of a neighbouring State, we ought forthwith to
advance still farther. Spain of herself cannot put
a speedy end to the rebellion—Don CARLOS is
already effectually excluded from the Spanish
throne—and, therefore, we are called upon by every
principle of an enlightened humanity, to put an end
to the useless effusion of blood in the Peninsula.
Sound policy—humanity—the very principles of re-
ligion, sanction a direct and avowed intervention on
the part of France and England in Spain.

" Admiral Rosamel, Minister of Marine."'

Nothing sets in a clearer light the intrinsic strength
of the claims of Ireland to be put on an equal footing,
as regards the enjoyment of constitutional rights, with
England and Scotland, than the total inability of the
faction which insolently opposes itself to those claims,
to bring forward a single objection which is worthy of
being raised to the rank of an argument. The only
resource of the writers who do the daily work of the
Carlton Club, when they enter upon this subject, is
mystification! They have just tact enough to keep
the real merits of the question out of view, and to sub-
stitute in their room the offspring of their own ima-
gination, with which machinery they conjure up all
sorts of dreadful phantoms before the eyes of the be-
wildered old gentlemen who, with spectacles on nose,
pore over their columns.
We find an ingenious lucubration of this kind in a
Morning Contemporary which, though assuming in
other respects a fashionable tone, has of late infused into

its politics a vulgar coarseness more becoming the un-
scrupulous caterer for the appetite of the rabble, than
the reflector of aristocratic proprieties. In the article
to which we allude no attempt is made to show
that there is justice in withholding from the Irish
nation, as an integral part of the British empire,
their fair proportion of constitutional freedom. The
writer does not say that the Irish have no right to re-
formed Municipal Institutions ; but he thinks it would
be dangerous to what he calls the Protestant Church,
were these Institutions reformed. And how does he
demonstrate this danger ? He does not point out a
single result—he does not, because he cannot show

how allowing the /people of Ireland to manage their
own municipal concerns, as is clone in England and
Scotland, would have a more dangerous bearing on the
true interests of that fragment of the English Church
which exists in Ireland, than the present state of
things by which the said payment secures to itself the
undivided and implacable hostility and hatred of every
man who has Irish blood in his veins. Nothing of
this sort is attempted to be done ; the writer confining
himself to the easier task of firing off an ill-directed

tirade against the Emancipation Act, which he regards
as the rojt of all evil. He is above all things angry
with Lord JOHN RUSSELL for stating that that Act
had produced no other effects than might reason-
ably have been expected from it. This is no doubt
very provoking to those who wish it to be believed
that the Emancipation Act has proved a failure, and
who would use it as a sort of beacon to warn the pub-
lic against conceding measures of justice to Ireland ;
but we think that no reasonable man could have ex-
pected any other result than that which has taken
place ; that is, a demand on the part of Ireland to

have all those distinctions removed which have so
long placed her citizens in a position of inferiority to
those of England and Scotland. This constitutional
equality was in fact the very soul and principle of the
Emancipation Act ; and we in our turn assert, that if

that Act had had the effect of reconciling the Irish
people to oppression—of making them more insensible
to injustice, or more submissive under injury and in-
sult it would indeed have been a—failure, and one much
to be lamented.

But when the writer in the Morning Post com-
plains of the ingratitude of the Irish for the concession
made in granting the Emancipation Act, and the dan-
ger of following up such a precedent by further con-
cessions, he is endeavouring to mislead his readers, if
he can find any simple enough to be so mis-
led, by what he must himself be aware is a great
mispresentation. May we ask what there was in the
granting of Emancipation that constitutes so powerful
a claim on the gratitude of the Irish. Was it the
readiness—tit,' off-hand generosity, that yielded to the
voice of justice the moment it was heard ? Or was
it the confiding grace with which the boon was con-
ferred ? No. The people of Ireland long com-
plained and petitioned in vain, and might have been
complaining and petitioning to this day, if they
had had no other resource than the inherent justice of

their claim. It was not until Ireland rose as one man
and threw down her gage to England, that she ob-
tained the right for which she had as a suppliant sued
in vain. She said to England, " iVly right, or war."
The Duke of WELLINGTON and Sir ROBERT PEEL
prudently declined the latter alternative. They yielded
the right, and this is called a concession for which the
people of Ireland ought to be grateful—this measure
which was extorted from the fears of the Tory Ministers

is to be placed to the credit of their justice and their
generosity.
And then, again, as to the manner in which this
boon was granted. Was it graceful ? was it con-
ciliatory ? Kas it such as ought to have made up for
any shortcoming in the extent of the boon itself ? In
the first place, as if Ireland were never to receive a be-
nefit without a corresponding injury, the whole of the
40s.freeholders were disfranchised at a blow. The upper
classes of Catholics were admitted to a capacity—for it
was nothing more—of holding civil offices, while the
lower classes were deprived of an actual privi-
lege which they enjoyed. What was gained at the
one end was lost at the other, and as if that
was not sufficient to mark the animus of the Le-
gislature, it was deemed necessary for the gratification
of a magnanimous S3vereign, that a personal insult
should be offered in the body of the Act to the man
who of all men had been most instrumental in accom-
plishing this deliverance for his countrymen ; and whom
they held in the highest esteem. Thus a drop of royal
malignity was infused into the cup, which turned its
sweetness into gall ; and this it is that calls for the
gratitude of Ireland I

The whole of the Paris Journals of Friday and Sa-
turday have been received. The Moniteur contains
no account of the reconstruction of the Cabinet ; but
most of the Jotirlials publish the list of a Ministry
which, according to them, has been approved of by the
KING. It is as follows :
" Count Mole, Minister of Foreign Affairs and President
of the Council.

" Count Montalivet, Minister of the Interior.
" M. Barthe, Minister of Justice and Public Worship.
"'M. Laplagne, Minister of Finances.
" M. Salvandv, Minister of Public Instruction.
" ' General Bernard, Minister of War.
" M. Martin (du Nord), Minister of Ccminerce and
Public Works.

This is a ricketty affair indeed. Such a Cabinet
may weather the storm in the Chambers for a week or
two, but it cannot outlive the present Session, far as
it has advanced. The Royal Retiarius has thrown
his net to little purpose. Most of his entangled vic-
tims are already politically defunct.

The army is in a fearful state of moral disorgani-
zation ; and we are not a little apprehensive that the
means taken by a part of the officers to instil loyal sen-
timents into the breasts of the men will produce a re-
sult directly the reverse of what is intended. Accord-
ing to such of the Journals as contain any ob-
servation on this important subject, the aim of the
officers who seek to be distinguished at the chatesu for

the exhibition of an ultra-devotion to the reigning
dynasty, is to sow the seeds of distrust of the humbler
classes of the people in the minds of the soldiery, and
above all to inspire them with a contempt for such as
obtain their livelihood by the sweat of their brow. The
French army is too intelligent to become the dupe of
this stale trick of aristocratic despotism, which can only
increase the distrust of the subalterns in the liberal pro-
fessions of the Government. The Siecle has the fol-
lowing article on the conduct of General RUMIGNY,
Aide-de-Camp of the KING, which is not undeserving
of serious attention :

" Yesterday General Rumigny assembled upon the Espla-
nade at Viucenes his brigade, or rather division, composed of
the 9th Light Infantry, and the 2d, 10th, and 60th Regiments
of the Lino, and passed the quarterly review.
" In the interval of some of the evolutions the General made
an appeal to the loyalty of the officers and non-commissioned
officers, recommending them to avoid public places and be on
their guard, as anarchists were busily employed in endea-
♦ouring to seduce the workmen and soldiers from their duty,
and adding, that several of the latter had lately been assas-
sinated for having evinced a repugnance to join in those guilty
projects.
" On that evening all the pickets were doubled, and patrols
traversed the saects of Paris from midnight to 4 o'clock.
" But, should the public wish to know what all these 'assas-
sinations' amounted to, it will be amounted that the full extent
was nothing more tha❑ a common public-house brawl, in which
a soldier was slightly wounded by the knife of one of his own
companions, whilst in a state of intoxication.
_ .

"Is it not, therefore, our duty to caution the n orking classes
to be on their guard, and is it not evident to the most near-
sighted that a desire exists in certain quarters to excite a bad
feeling between workman and the soldiers of the garrison ?
But the promoters of these manoeuvres should also be on their
guard, for they are attempting an awkward imitation of similar
efforts tried in 1829 and 1830. The same observations were
made to the troops at those periods, and the answer given to
them during the July days was too well known to require any
details upon that subject."

The officers would perform a part less fraught with
danger to the KING if they left the men to think for
themselves on all questions unconnected with military
discipline. The French soldier is a citizen, armed to
defend his liberties and those of his country ; and not
a hired mercenary regardless of every consideration but
that of a pecuniary reward for his services. This, in
some measure, is owing to the mode of levying troops
in France, so different to the British recruiting system.

the following Proclamations addressed by General
Count DAMREMONT, the new French Governor of
the French possessions in Africa, to the French Colo-
n.. Is and Army :
" TO THE INHABITANTS OF THE FRENCH POSSESSIONS
IN THE NORTH OF AFRICA.

" The King has intrusted to me the government of the
French possessions in the North of Africa. On arriving in
this country I recal with satisfaction the part I took in its
conquest. This recollection is a guarantee for the disposi-
tion I bring with me—that what I assisted in gaining I come
to consolidate. The King wills the preservation of Algiers
and in order to insure it wishes that everything should be.
done to render it beneficial to France. His Government
entertains the same desire, and will do all that is necessary
to obtain this great object. We have long been compelled
to tight in order to convey into all parts a just conception of
our power, to prove that our arms were able to penetrate,
wherever they were required to protect our friends and punish'
our enemies. This object has been fully accomplished ;
and, although the influence of the French name in these
countries requires satisfaction at Constantine, be assured
the necessary preparations have been made to insure its
attainment. Seven years of warfare and sacrifices must have
their reward, and the moment is come for gathering the fruits
of victory. To concentrate our force at the most important
points—to establish ourselves at them as masters, absolutely
and permanently—to deliver up the soil around us to cultiva-
tion, and thereby fix ourselves firmly in Africa—to encourage
enterprise in individuals, by insuring them protection—to cover
their works with an impenetrable circle of defence, enlarging
that circle as their undertakings expand—to advance step by
step with wisdom, and at the same time with utility and secu-
rity, making such advances only when by resolution we are sure
of maintaining our ground—to create for the commerce of
France and the south of Europe a new source of prosperity—to
open to their ships commodious and safe ports--to offer for its
commerce advantageous means of exchange, and every facility
compatible with the conjoint interests of the mother country and
tle colony—to render our domination mild and beneficial to the
natives—to induce them to attend our markets —to give them
a taste for industry, by insuring to them a I e ,vard for their
labours—to instil into them a love of order—to attach them to
us by their own interests—in a word, to cause a state of war
to be succeeded by a state of peace, founded on those interests
and on principles of justice, but at the same time on force—a
benevolent and protective pacification for those who observe it,
but menacing to those who attempt to violate it. This hence-
forth is the mission confided to the Administration of this coun-
try—a mission slow and difficult in execution, but to which I
am come to devote myself.

" TO THE ARMY.
" Officers and Soldiers,—lnvested by the King with the
government of the French possessions in the North of Africa,
I consider the command of the army as one of my grandest
attributes, and its welfai e as one of my most important duties.
I engage that it shall have all my solicitude. I expect in re-
turn that complete obedience, without which no army can
exist ; and that devotion to its king and country which alone
can render it capable of great actions. Operations are pre-
paring in the provinces of Oran and Constantine, and
others may become necessary in the province of Algiers.
At all points I expect from the troops that ardour and con,
tempt of danger which can alone insure success. If works
of labour are to be performed, I rely on their docility and
porseverance. At all times, and or, all occasions, I place my
hopes on their discipline, their self-denial, and their love of
order, and of their duty. My daily care shall be applied to
the means of lightening their fatigues, in relies ing their suf-
ferings, and diminishing their privations. I will, above all
things, set them the example of justice, and be vigilant that it
shall be rendered to them by others impartially and entirely.
Officers arid Soldiers I you shall know me by my acts, you shall
be convinced of my devotion to your interests, and you will
,give me your confidence.

single acre of African territory. On the contrary, they
pledge France to push on the conquest of Constantine
against all opposition on the part of the natives.
The following are extracts from the journals :

Tbo Sentinelle dc Pyrenees of the 11th, received by ex-
press, confirms a fact which we have announced—viz., the ar-
rival of important sums at the head-quarters of the Pretender.
" Last week," says that Journal, " a million in gold passed
the frontior." We further see in the same paper, that on the
sth there was an exchange of prisoners at Berres Plano. The
Carlists were given in good condition, but the Christinos were
in a wretched plight.
The letters from Bayonne, of the same date, announce a
complete suspension of military operations, in consequence of
the bad weather.

By a Royal Ordinance of the 14th, Marshal Count d'Lo-
bau, Peer of France, is confirmed in the post of Commander-
in. Chief of the National Guards of the department of the
Seine.

The Nfoniteur publishes to-day the comparative tables of the
revenue fo:• 1837, and of that in 1835 and 1836, from which
it appears that the receipt during the first quarter of 1837 was
greater, by 3,121,0001., and less than that of 1836, by
1,746,000 f.

BAYONNE, APRIL 13.—.. The mails from Madrid, Bilboa, and
St. Sebastian, have not arrived, in consequence of the fright-
ful mass of snow which covers the mountains and the valleys.
The Onate Gazette of the 7th has no news of the theatre
of war.

The Sentinelle des Pyrenees of the 11th says that General
Seaone, who returned to Bilboa on the 2d, is to come back
to St. Sebastian to take the command of a division. It adds
—" There are 6,000 men (infantry) in garrison at Bilboa.
The fortifications of that city are increased every day. A
battery of four pieces of heavy artillery has just been placed
on the height of Santo Domingo. The disorder which pre-
vailed in the city has considerable abated.--Journal de Com-
merce.

Letters and papers from Madrid, to the 9th instant,
have been received. The Cortes were engaged in dis-
cussing the articles of the Constitution, apparently
finite indifferent to the outrages committed by the
rebels in Valencia and Murcia, under the command of
CABRERA and ESPERANZA. The capital continued
tranquil.

Brussels and German Papers have been received,
but their contents are unimportant. The Austrian
Observer has an article lauding the Czar of RUSSIA'S
2'encrosity to the Sublime Porte.

The arrivals of both Grain and Flour last week were incon-
aiderable, and the Trade remained without alteration from

the previous Monday. This morning there has bean a short
supply of all descriptions of Corn. The weather is still
cold and dry, which retards vegetation. Only a few
samples of fine Wheat was shown this morning, which
met a ready sale at one shilling per quarter advance
on the prices of this day se'nnight. Other qualities are firm,
at last quotations. Barley continues to experience a slow

" St. Helena, Feb. 13, 1837

" SIR,—I am in receipt of your letter of the 27th October,
in reply to mine of June 18, communicating to me the result
of the Committee's application to the Colonial Office, regarding
the Island Signal Stations. They arc now part'a ly esta-
blished at the expense of individuals, and by-and-bye, perhaps,
we may get them on the old footing, and have the full benefit
of reports of shipping approaching the Island.
" I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
" W. Dobson, Esq., Secretary, Lloyds. J. BAKER."

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)
Cl7'Y, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CTC.
We have received Montreal papers to the sth March, and
Quebec to the 3d March.

The Montreal papers do not contain any news of conse-
quence. The Quebec papers state that the weather during the
last days of February and the first of this month had been more
cold than usual at this season. The ice above Quay has again
become stationary, and there is now every probability it will so
remain, at least till the next spring tides.
The Halifax papers of the 13th February state that the he-
gislature of Prince Edward's Island has committed three of
its members for improper and illegal conduct at a public
meeting, and refusing to apologize to the House for the same.
Since writing the above we have received a Montreal paper
of the 9th March. The Special Committee of the House of
Assembly of Upper Canada, to whom was referred the cele-
brated letters of M. Papineau to the Speaker of the Upper
Canada House, accompanying the ninety-two resolutions, have
at length reported, and the result of their labour is, in their
opinion, that had time been given to th e last House, the letter
and the resolutions would have been unceremoniously returned
to Mr. Papineau, and never have disgraced the journals of the
Assembly.
The Toronto Constitution of the Ist inst. says, that private
letters contain positive assurances from a high quarter that the
Canadas will be positively united during the ensuing Session
of the English Parliament.
(From the Singapore Papers to the 27th of November.)
" PENANG MARKET.—OPIUM.—We have heard of the sale
of eight chests exported per Attaran, at 725 dollars cash.
" EASTERN Goons.—Of Bengal and Madras piece goods
there have been a few importations since our last.
" OPIUM.—The operations in the drug since our last have
been important, about 30 chests Ihnares have changed hands
at 735 to 750 dollars, according to the term of credit and of
payment.
We have several arrivals this morning. Those from the
East Indies are of old dates—the most important are those
from America. From New York, it is stated, of the date of
the 16th, that the scarcity of money was so great, that for dis-
count of Bills from 30 to 60 days to run, 2f to 3 per cent. were
given monthly ; those of longer dates could not be discounted ;
and many of the dealings in Bills of Exchange were upon
credit. The Exchange on the 16th was 10 to 10i ; United
States Bank Shares, 1161 and 117. No specie has been
brought by either of the packets. The packet of the 16th
brings a report of a failure at New Orleans to the amount
of seven millions of dollars. Some accounts state, that
the United States Bank had assisted the House.

Two packet ships from New York still remain due—that of
the 20th, for London, and 24th, for Liverpool—which are
anxiously looked for, as it is expected they will bring im-
portant accounts.
