LORD ABERDEEN AND VIE REST OF THE

GREEKS 1N ENGLAND.

Lord Aberdeen has got hold of a new phrase, if not
of a new idea. At the Lord' Mayor's banquet Lord
Aberdeen dropped his stereotyped "just, lasting and
honourable peace," and talked of bringing " this contest
to a happy termination." Unluckily the new formula
is as susceptible as the old of being interpreted an many
different ways, according to the " mental reservation"
of the speaker. But this is not the worst. flu is a
most unfortunate and ill-comaioned man. Lord Aber-
deen. Last session of Parliament he could scarcely an-
swer a question, or meet a charge, without being unne-
cessarily and unjustly rude to somebody. And iu his
speech at the Lord Mayor's banquet Lord Aberdeen
contrived to insult gratuitously almost the whole of the
English people. Lord Aberdeen, while eulogising his
own valour, expressed the opinion that " many of those
who were most eater fir the war are now the most
easily discouraged 'by those vicissitudes which are the
unavoidable incidents of a state of warfare." Where
has this calumniator of his countrymen seen any symp-
tom of discouragement in airy portion of the English
public ? The public expectation of early triumphant
results of the war has been sometimes more and some-
times less sanguine, but the least favourable anticipations
entertained at any time have only inspired Englishmen
with a more stubborn resolution to struggle on until
things went better. Lord Aberdeen's' wantonly offen-
sive imputation of faintheartedness to the nation whose
indignant voice compelled him reluctantly to assert the
principle of national independence, in opposition to his
friend the Czar, is merely the splenetic effusion of a
cold-hearted and imbecile old man, placed in a position
to the discharge of the duties of which he is incompetent,
and overflowing with malice towards all who make him
feel his impotence.
A very strong feeling. is at this moment expressed
against the Greek merchants resident in London ,and
Manchester. We do not wonder at it, their impertinent
obtrusion of their sympathies with the Czar, and of their
desire that the arms of the Allies should be baffled, has
been more thaii mortal patience could endure. Never-
theless, we are more disposed to warn against excessive
indulgence of the indignation their folly has kindled than
to fan the flame. Men so utterly destitute of right

the beginning of the miserable attempts of the Greek
newspapersour
movements in the frontier provinces of Turkey, there
was a small party in this country disposed to sympathise
with the Greeks, and putt' them as an intelligent, high-
minded race. Nothing has helped so much to disabuse
the English public on this score as the presence among
them ef the G reek merchants in Manchester and London.
These men have been sent hither as among the most
acute and enterprising of their countrymen to manage
their commercial affairs ; they have enjoyed the advan-
tage of mingling with the enlightened society of the west
of Europe ; yet see what poor, silly, waspish creatures
they are. They ought to be tolerated among us, as we
tolerate the monkeys in the Zoological Gardens, in order
that we may have opportunities of studying the charac-
teristics of their race. It is beneath the dignity of Eng-
lishmen to get seriously angry with them.
It seems the more necessary to insist upon this view
of the matter, because the Times has been strenuously
labouring to fan the flame of popular indignation against
the Greeks. That newspaper is denouncing, in its
wonted brickbat style, men whose actions and expres-
sions, reprehensible though they be, merely give utter-
ance to sentiments and opinions which, not many months
ago, were advocated by the Times itself. The Times,
while denouncing the offensive demonstrations of the
Greeks in Manchester and London, claims for any un-
Euglish Englishman who may sympathise with them
immunity and freedom of speech. We confess that,
on the contrary, we can tolerate much in these aliens
that excites in us the most uncontrollable disgust and
indignation when we witness it in any one wile claims
to be regarded as a Briton. The poor stockjobbing and
speculating Greeks of private life can do us little harm ;
but "Greeks in heart," holding responsible situations,
may do. The men of Manchester would do' well to re-
flect that not a few of the most offensive finis-statements
and sentiments of the Greeks living among them have
been endorsed by one of their own representatives in
I Parliament. The most offensive Greek at this moment
n England is, "The classic Thane, Athenian Aberdeen?'
