A Whig War ! There is something so exqui-
sitely ludicrous in this notion, that we roustbco-
titilged in a little speculation upon it. A Whig
Ilrar is a contest which the party -called Whigs
"ndemned in. the beginnifig, in the middle, and izt
evry stage—a War, out of which they Unceasing
1Y advised us to get as well as we could. They
thought it the fittest time to Make puree with

Power for they dreaded that if we continued to
irritate the greatest Captain of the Age', be

Whigs were (and are) -for 'Peace with BUONA-
.IIARTE at any time ,or season, upiin any con:-

fears called out Peace : when he is fighting. for
existence, at Paris, their affection for film calls
out Peace !

And these are- the men who, in the present
prosperous state of affairs claim to themselves the
merit of having had their principles acted upon !
The wry' march to Paris was, we suppOse, a sug-
gestion of their own. They never ridiculed the
idea or thought as much of scaling the Moon.
It was not the .vivid and glorious vision of
Lord HAWKESBURY—(a vision worthy of a Bri-
tish Statesman,. even were it too sanguine) but
the policy,recommended by the men whose only
talk at the commencement of Lord WELLING-,

bling prayers for his being allowed to-eSeape•frorn

about 3000'Saxop troops' arrived, here, front the
north, by the route of Louvain, and immediately
proceeded towards Antwerp ; to-morrow a still
greater number is expected for the same destina-

may reckon upon the renewal of the attack on
Antwerp.
