SIR CHARLES NAVIER IN THE

HOME OF COMMONS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

OCT. 12, 1841.

SlR—Having been'one of the most enthusias-
tic supporters of Sir Charles Napier at his late
election for our borough, giving him at that time
a plumper'on my own score, and bringing seven
friends to the poll besides, you may without
doubt suppose that I am one of those more than
usually
.interested . in watching the Parlia-
mentary career of a. representative in whom I
considered. from the. first, high trust and expec-
tation were to be placed. I,have, therefore, forr
warded to you my notes, of Sir Charles's doings
in the House, during the pastshort session, and
they will, no doubt, be looked upon as excellent
augury for the future ; and I would suggest, that
by their occupying a place in your valuable
journal, they might tend to confirm to. the Libe-
ral party in the borough, many of those wavering
constituents, who now stand doubtful upon the
borders of Toryism.
The old Parliament, upon .the termination of
the elections, opened by commission on--,
AUGUST 24.—0 n the very same evening Sir
.Charles Napier delivered his maiden speech in
rising up to answer Mr. D'lsraeli, who had
blamed the Whig Ministers for thefaultiness of
their foreign policy. Sir Charles, in commenting
upon the reproaches of this " accusing spirit"
vigorously twitted him upon the expression
" little wars," which our Gallant Representative
showed would have been "great wars" but for
the tact and energy employed to counter-check
them ; and summed up before the House, in able
review, the measures which the late foreign po-
licy had effected.
AUGUST 27.—The 'distresses of the Syrians
were matters of too urgent a nature in the eyes
of Sir Charles Napier to allow of being post-
poned. Accordingly, on the third night of his
appearance in the House, he questions Lord Pal-
merston whether it was the intention of the
Government to see that conipensatien-was made
to the peaceable inhabitants of Syria, and those
also of St. Jean d'Acre, for the fosses they had
sustained from .the British troops,' Which were
unavoidably necessary during the operations of
the siege; to which inquiry Lord Palmerston re-
pliedin the affirmative.
AUGUST 30.—The. day on which the Whig
Ministry resigned, Sir Charles Napier addressed
a letter to Sir Robert Peel on the state of the
navy. This pamphlet was introduced to me
through the columns of. The Sun, where your
leader ofthe day notices it thus in the following
words:—"The gallant Sir Charles Napier is as
untiring as he is brave. Scarcely elected fur
Marylebone, he made a sensible speech in Par-
liament.; Sir Robert Peel is scarcely in office,
than the vigilant officer addresses a letter to him
(published by Ridgway) on the subject of the
navy."
The new Ministry, or Peel Parliament, changed
sides of the House on the 6th of September,
after which the Commons adjourned to the 16th
of that month. Four days after Sir Charles
again brings forward important subjects.
SEPT. 20.—0 n the earliest opportunity on the
re-assembling of the House, Sir Charles Napier,
addressed Sir Robert Peel, : in the debate on the
Ordnance Estimates, as to the propriety of there
being a naval officer at that Board, and sup-
ported his motion with cogent arguments.
SEPT. 22.—0 n the meeting of the house this
evening, Sir Charles Napier, with the determi-
nation and promptness which so characterize
him, convinced the House that it
.was not his in-
tention to drop the 'subject of reform in high
places ; and accordingly gave notice that, after
the recess, he should bring forward a motion to
place a naval man at the head of the Admiralty,
couched in the following terms :—" That an hum-
ble address be presented to her Majesty, praying
that she will be graciously pleased to give direc-
tions that a naval officer should be placed at the
head of the navy, as military officers are at the
head of the army and ordnance, a lawyer at the
head of the law, and a clergyman at the head
of the church." _
_ _

Parliament stands now prorogued to the 11th
of next month; when it will meet no one can tell;
but when it meets, Sir Charles will no doubt re-
sume his legislative functions with new activity
and enterprise.
Upon his conduct during the last session I
shall say nothing; the notes and dates before
you speak for themselves. I will only conclude
by remarking that it must be matter of great and
heartfelt rejoicing, not only to the naval profes-
sion, of which he is the highest ornament, but
also to this commercial country at large, whose
maritime interests are so unbounded, to find a
man now in the House of Commons, who has not
only the ability, but the independence of -mind,
to speak truths, however unpalatable they may
be to the Government, be it Whig or Conserva-
tive. Sir Charles's election to the House is an
event to be hailed with infinite delight, and from
it may be augured immense advantages both to
the Service and the country at large.
Submitting the above to your favourable no-
tice, I have the honour to remain, &c, &c.,
AN ELECTOR OF MARYLEBONE,
AND WARM SUPPORTER OF SIR CHARLES.

TO THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND.
" Grant me, indulgent Heaven, that I may live
To see the miscreants feel the pains they give ;
Deal freedom's sacred treasure free as air,

Till slave and despot be but things which were."—BuaNs.

FELLow-CourrraymEN--The time has eome, when you
are called upon, by the principles of humanity and jus-
tice, to come forward like men, and demand those rights
from which you have been so long debarred by unjust laws
—the right of selling your labour in the best and cheapest
mirket- You must be up and doing. There is no time to be
lost. The foundation of the present Government is
based upon monopoly. Nothing but coercion will make
the landlords' Parliament give way. I do not mean
physical but moral coercion. Let every city, every town,
every small village, hold their meetings. Let them de-
clare before God and man--not wtth defamatory lan-
guage, but with language that will prove them to be
reasoning men—their opposition to the Corn or starva-
tion laws—laws that are at variance with the laws of
nature, humanity, and religion ! What did Sir
Robert Peel do before the late Parliament wa3 dis-
solved ? Why he made Lord John Russell pledge
the (then) Government, that the new Parliament should
be called together as soon as possible, in order that the
public might know the fate of the Corn-laws. Well,
Parliament has been calle.l together, has declared its
" want of confidence" in the late Government, and
has placed Sir Robert Peel in power. But the plau-
sible Sir Robert no sooner gets into .office, than a
" spirit comes o'er his dreams, and he finds out all at
once that lie is ignorant -of the subject—that he
must have official information—and that the public
may wait for six months ! Does not this prove
two things ? First, that his only object was, .to
get into office, and be " a Minister of the Crown ;"
and, secondly, that he opposed and defeated the
late Government measures—measures that were wise
and just—without having any others to substitute for
them, thereby proving, if proof were wanting, his inca-
pability of holding the reins of. Government ; and when
you look at the men that form his 11Iinistry, and exa-
mine their declared opinions, you.cpn expect nothing
from them. - They may alter but they will not improve the
Coen-laws. Nothing but "pressure from without" will
make them move in the right direction. Sir R. Peel has
a. sliding-scale fur principles as well as for the
Corn-laws. You must therefore agitate ! agitate !
agitate ! ! ! if you wish Sir R Peel to slide down to the
declared wishes of " the people." it may suit the Tories
to say that the people are represented -in Parliament,
but they know it to be false—false as hell ! ".The
people"—the democracy of England are not represented
in, Parliament. It is the landlords' Parliament, and Sir
R. Peel must do their bidding. He is their tool fur the
time being, not their master. Parliament is prorogued and
the people are starving—actually dying of starvation ! 1
—and that, too, in the midst of plenty, from which they
are debarred by one of the most unjust and demoralising
laws that 'ever disgraced a great nation, calling, or ra-
ther miscalling, itself free. No, you cannot call your-
selves free while you remain in your present enslaved
condition. You must first shake off the chains of mono-
poly, free commerce from its fetters, and place the poli-
tical power of the State in the hands of " the
people," before you, can, with any justice, call
yourselves free men. As commerce extends, so
will civilization advance. It therefore remains
for you, my oppressed countrymen, to say whether you
will any longer remain slaves. If you exert yourselves
like men you will save your country from ruin, your-
selves, your wives, and children from starvation, misery,
and death ! Agitate, then, until your labours arc
crowned with victory. Unfurl the flag of liberty,
truth,
and justice, and say with the poet,
Do thou, great Liberty, inspire our souls,
And make our lives in thy possession happy,
Or our deaths glorious, in thy just defence V'
You have the power to free yourselves from oppression,
and, having, may you learn how to use it.

POPULI.
Old 'Change, City, Oct. 10, 1841.

has sometimes its incidental result of evil; and an. PENNY PosTAGE.—A measure of great good
un-
just law may yet, here and there, be the occasion
of
some particles of benefit to the public, or to individuals.
But generally, we apprehend, the inherent character of
a measure will diffuse itself over the indirect results.
It is thus with the penny postage, at which our Tory
Contemporaries are still nibbling, and spitting their
venom. A direct tax was removed, which, to many
claSses in society,
.was an inconvenient pressure.. And
not only so, ..but in countless instances opportunities
have been seized for industry and enterprise that would
else have been lost; kindly feelings have been sustained,
gratified, and strengthened; charities have multiplied;
new and useful occupations have been called into exis-
tence; old and valuable books have found purchasers and
readers that would have been mouldering into waste
paper; and mind and morals have been reaping the bless-
ings which Sir Robert Peel anticipated as the result, al-,
though. that anticipation did not avert lain tostility to the
nigagave—Aiprning Chronicle. -
