PROVINCIAL JOURNALS.

( From the Liverpool Courier of October 23.)
THE CoNGßEss.—The language held by the
disaffected press at the aproach of this assembly is of the most
violent kind, and shows, as much as any part of their recent
conduct, into the hands of what unprincipled men it has fallen.
It is either language dictated by a malignant and mischievous
disposition, or it is the language of a fear which indicates guilty
designs ; and, in either case, it exhibits the character of the
faction with additional touches of political and moral deformity.
These very candid and virtuous gentlemen, assume, that the
Sovereigns and Ministers, when assembled, will agree to invade
Spain ; to abandon Greece ; to put down the freedom of the press
in every place, not even excepting England ; to establish every
where a coalition to destroy the freedom of mankind ; and that
the Ministers of Great Britain will become parties to the whole.
This, they tell their readers, is the plan resolved upon ; and to
show that they do not doubt, in the least, the certainty of their
own conjectures, and to prevent their readers, as much as pos-
sible, from doubting too, they proceed to vituperate every Court
and Minister of Europe with abuse the most gross and viru-
lent. Now, we ask, what kind of estimate such prints must
form of their readers ? They cannot consider them people of
even the usual share of common sense, for every man possess-
ed of intellect, and in the habit of the healthful use of it, must
ask what ground there is for all these allegations ; and, when
he finds that there is nothing but the mere imagination of these
writers for these projects, and this imagination has been volun-
tarily sat to work for the purpose of misleading and inflaming
the ignorant against all that is dignified ; that it is one of the
wretched manoeuvres of jacobinism to bring Kings into contempt,
and to produce an impression that legitimate monarchies and po-
litical freedom are absolutely incompatible, he must turn from
them with disgust and abhorrence. For a very different class of
persons are these efforts of disaffection designed. They are for
that part of the populace which they have already corrupted, and
by the gratification of whose blinded passions they have their gain.
The Allied Powers, who have overthrown the military radi-
calism of France and tranquillized Europe, have committed
offences sufficiently great against the abettors of war and mili-
tary despotism, under the names of Liberals, Political Regene-
rators, &c., to bring down upon themselves their maledictions;
anti this band of conspirators against the peace and• the true
liberty of the world will not find, that those who saved Europe
out of their hands, will readily surrender it again to be the sport
of their plots and machinations. It would be a singular infatu-
ation, indeed, were each of the confederate Powers to surrender

itself' to inaction and inobservance, and leave the adherents of
Buonaparte anti his system, every where, to undo their work,
unsettle the political relations of Europe, and stir up another
confederacy of jacobinism. The Holy Alliance may be taunted,
but there is readiness enough among the disaffected of all
countries to form an unholy alliance. The military confederacy
of Kings may be held up as terrific portent to alarm the
foolish ; but Jacobinism has shown itself quite as disposed to
form military associations, and it has employed them effectually
to put down the liberty of nations. The liberty contended for
by this faction formed the Freach armies, an i created and
upheld Buonaparte. As they pursued their march of invasion,
the Liberals, Radicals, and Carbonari of all countries flew
to their standard, assisted to overthrow their own govern-
ments, to oppress their own fellow-citizens, to rob anti drain
their own countries, for their personal enrichment and that
of their foreign confederates, and to set up their own des-
potism over the world. They are prepared for the same
cAtrse of conduct now. The L'berals in France aim at set-
ting up another military chief; the Carbonari of Italy looked
up to the Generals Who served under Buonaparte; and the Ra-
dicals of England and Germany are as anxious now, as when
the Neapolitan Revolution inspired them with hope, to afford
them military or any other assistance. The Allied Courts are
not so little discerning as to consider the efforts of this party
as struggles for political freedom : they are obviously just the
contrary; they confine not themselves to the internal relations
of the countries where they are made ; they are essentially
hostile, not to the abuses of existing governments, but to ex-
isting governments themselves ; they affect, and do not disguise
it, the present system of the public relations of the European
States, and are, therefore, to be repressed. The Allies are
bound to each other, to their own subjects, and to the peace
of the world, to watch the movements of this faction, and
to be prepared, by a proper uuderstanding with each other,
to meet and counteract its movements. This curb they feel,
and this explains the violent, but impotent, rage which they
exhibit. That the Allies have any intention, or ever had, to go
beyond this, there is no evidence in fact, and it would be too
unreasonable a scheme for enlightened statesmen to even
dream of. We are ready to grant, that this confederacy, not
of Courts only, but of Nations, assembled in their august
representation to preserve the peace of Europe, may have,
in some instances, a difficult and a delicate conduct to pur-
sue. This arises, however, not from any fault in the prin-
ciple of their association, but front the manner in which the
guilty principle of jacobinism, which is at war with the world,
often mixes itself with those interior movements of nations
which aim at that improvement in their own internal condi-
tion which they have a right to seek, and in which they ought
not to be counteracted by any foreign power or influence.—
For this reason, we think, not only that the proceedings of
the Allied Cabinets ought to be carefully watched, but to be
the subject of fair, liberal, and candid discussion. The in-
temperate malevolence with which the guilty faction assails
goes for nothing, except as it is the indication of its own cha-
racter ; but in the enlightened opinion of Europe, and especially
of the British Parliament, and the sound part of the British
press, they will see the polestar of their course through the
most pressing of their difficulties. From the design of doing
wrong, till explicit proof be affbrded of the contrary, the can-
dour which one man owes to another demands that they be
acquitted ; nor is it for their interest to act contrary to right-
To error they are subject, and the more freely every principle
and every measure is discussed, the better will they be guarded
against it. The measure of thus meeting in frequent congress
is, in fact, one of a very interesting character, and none but
merely prating politicians, or those who are essentially at en-
mity with Monarchical Governments, will object to it in itself.
We can conceive of .nothing more likely to maintain peace
nothing more likely to diffuse just and liberal views, and to
infuse a principle of common friendship, than a wise and
well-conducted association of this kind ; and nothing which
is so favourable to give influence to the enlightened, moderate,
and just political views of the British Cabinet, the most per-
fectly trained of any in solid anti virtuous politics, confirmed
by the long experience of our country, ant, the greatness, virtue,
happiness, and intellectual elevation for which it is distinguish-
ed. That the Ministers of Great Britain are there, is a power 7
ful security ; but, after all, the Congress may do too much or
too little, and erroneously interfere in what ought to be left to a
self-governing influence ; and free discussion is alike called for
by their own interests and those of others. Upon the *hole, we

have no reason to conclude that any thing but good will, then,
be the result. As to the cause we mentioned in our last as likely
to occupy the attentiion of the Congress, they are surely not
only fit, but most important and necessary subjects of delibera-
tion and mutual understanding; and as to the changes which
may occur in the internal policies of any of the States of the
confederacy, this is the plain rule, that when they are purely
internal, and have no bearing unfriendly to the public relations
of the State itself, they are to be left without controul, except
as friendly counsel may be thought necessary. lf, however,
under what pretence, the jacobinism which aims not at reform-
ing states, but at subverting all the ancient thrones of Europe,
is clearly the spring, and guide, and end of the convulsions
which may take place, for the reasons we have given, a righs
of interference exists, and ought to be exercised, whenever
the case is cleared from doubt. That any intention of apply-
ing that right to Spain and Portugal exists, we do not be-
lieve ; this is only asserted for party purposes. No reason
of interference, except it may be by advice, has been given.—
There have been extravagancies and political follies and crimes
in both countries. There has been, and still is, some infusion
of the mischievous agency of anarchists ; but the public rela-
tions of the two countries remain unshaken ; changes were ne-
cessarily pressed on both by imperious circumstances; and there'
is no reason yet to conclude, that the agitations of both will not
subside into civil quiet ; or, if interior tumults should, for a
time, continue, they have not yet that character which calls for
the interference of other nations.
