Dutch Papers, Sept. 30.

A letter published in the Tines yesterday,
says that Lord PALMERSTON, " within a very
few days of his resignation, I believe, created
five new paid Attaches, three at 3301. and two at
'230/. a-year each ; they were at Vienna, St. Pc-
tersburgh, the Hague, Dresden, and, of all other
places in the world, Stutgard." Now, we pre-
tend to no knowledge whatever of this fact; we
will say, toe, that if the offices were necessary,
we know not why a HOWARD, an ELLIOT, or a
DUFF, might not be as proper persons to fill
them as a GORDON, a GRAHAM, or a GLADSTONE;
but if the places were not strictly necessary, no
reprobation can be too severe on the conduct of
Lord PALM.F,ILSTON. The charge, however, is
publicly made that he created five useless places,
and the HouSe of Commons will neglect its duty
if it fail to investigate the circumstance. It
ought to inquire into the whole of the diplomatic
establishment. In the account of the civil con-
tingencies for 1840, there is a sum of no less than
51,9981. for " the extraordinary disbursement of
Ministers at Foreign Courts, together with outfit
and equipage." ~Amongst the items included
under this head, are 18,468/. for special missions,
and 15,0001. for the Governor-General of Canada
and suite, beyond the amount replaced from the
colonial funds. Such expenses might be tole-
rated did the Exchequer overflow with the wealth
of voluntary contributors, but when every far-
thing of public revenue is extorted from the
people—when the employers and paymasters of
the Government, are, many o them, without
meat, clothes, or fire—suer expenses are not jus-
tifiable for any species of service. We can only
describe them as a wanton invasion of the pro-
perty which the Government is constituted to
protect. They are more to be reprehended
tihen they take place under a Whig than a
Tory Government, because they are agreeable
to the nature of the latter, but they are foreign
to that of the former, and corrupt and destroy it,
while they'are equally injurious to the people
whether praeqised by Whig or Tory. In the
present condition of the expenditure and the
revenue, it is the duty of the House of Commons
to institute a close examination into the public
expenses before it take a single additional shil-
ling from the people. A skikal pruning knife
might lo? off a million a-year from the miscel-
laLeous estimates and the civil contingencies,
and at the same time benefit the public service.

The Journal des Debuts of Tuesday has a long article
assuring us that France has no intention of disarming
any of the twenty sail of the line which she has now in
commission. Notwithstanding our vast Indian empire,
and our numerous colonies in every part of the world,
France contends for the right of keeping a navy afloat
equal to ours. This is surely not over-pacific, consider-
ing the burst of joy with which the Debuts hailed the
accession of the Tories to office. What would the Debuts
think of our pacific intntions were we to propose rivaling
France in the strength of our Army ? And have we not
about the same claims to become a great military power
that France has to become a naval one ?

From the style in which, in the following passage,
the Morniug Herald speaks of Lord Palmerston, it is
evident that the Tories consider him a formidable mem-
ber of Opposition :—" The loss of office and of pay
seem to have galled Lord Palmerston more than tiny of
his late colleagues ; and so they may, for in truth the
Noble Lord so loves place, that for inure than thirty
years he has rarely been out of and never long.
Lord Palmerston hes been throughout life " a swerded
Switzer;" to him the " best of causes has been the best of
pay ; he has never " vexed his head" for pleas of right;
office has been the polar star by which he has steered
his political course, and his compass has been his own
individual interests. Party never had such strong claims
on him as his own advancement ; and though at last he
had all that he sought—" King-eeGlainis—Cawdoe—all!"
yet "he pinyed Meet foully" for them. Lord Paltner-

friend ; in whom no livieg soul has the least confidence ;
who is equally incapable of bestowing confidence on any.

ment to be prorogued ivithont any eepression of defer•
cnce, to the opinion and the anxious expectation of a
large portion of the people of the United Kingdom ?
Sir Robert Peel is not asked to do what he to much
abhors—to pledge hitnself to details. flu is not asked
to declare what it is he specially means to do ; he is not
asked to pledge himself to a five shilling duty, or an
eight shilling duty, or a ten shilling duty. lie is not
even to pledge his Cabinet to any definite change what-
ever. All that is at present required is, that, in de-
ference to the loudly ettpressed opinion of a large
portion of the nation, he should enter on an exami-
nation of the matter of which they complain ; that he
should make inquiry into their allegations ; that he
should give a fair and fitting opportunity to the Le-
gislature to inquire whether or nn this Ceili:l4* 13
really the mischievous enactment that it is affirmed to
be; and also to consider what fair and fitting remedy
may be provided for the mischief. The request is a
reasonable one. It requires no deep consideration in
order to comply with it; and in complying with it Sir
Robert Peel would merely fulfil the moral and social
duties which devolve on him as the head of the Govern-
ment of the country. But if Parliament is to be pro-
rogued without any indication that the Goth-law is to
be taken into consideration, a deliberate insult will be
given, and a cruel wrong will be done to a large portion
of the people of the empire."—What cares Sir Robert
Peel for inflicting " a cruel wrong " on the people,
backed, as he is, by an unscrupulous majority of ninety-
one? He has the power now; and that power lie will
exercise after his own fashion, and at his own good time,
cedless whether the country approves of his measures

or no.
The Advertiser thus comments on the tricky conduct
of the Tory Ministry, in determining to renew the
powers of the Poor-law Commissioners for a term with-
out restrictions :—" So the powers of the Poor-law Com-
missioners are to be renewed for a term, without restric-
tion of stay kind, Sir Robert Peel most resolutely re-
fusing to permit any meddling with the details of the
subject, until after he shall have had time to ponder
over it in all its branches, and to make up his mind
whether any, and if so, what, alterations may be deeme(
expedient in the law. Never was there a more disgracefu,
piece of legislative business--disgraceful as many of the
proceedings of the Legislature have been—than this, re-
lative to the continuance of the Poor-law Commission
by the Conservative House of Commons. Base and
unfeeling, as all the world knew the Tories to be, fee.
imagined them to have been so steeped in dishonour
and degradation as their treachery upon the Poor-law
question now proves them to be. It is notorious, that in
at least six cases out of ten in which the ConserVatives
distanced the other party at the recent elections, they did
so by the course they took with reference to the New
Pour-law, which they held up as abominable, diabolical,
and damnable,' while they characterized the official pro-
eeedirgs of the Commissioners as the tyrannical govern-
ment of the three devil kings of Somerset House.' "
The Morning Post is by no means so.positive on the
merits of the Corn-laws as it was a few days since.
After writing a host of heavy leading articles, to prove
their intrinsic excellence, our Contemporary now con-
tents himself with the expression of a modest doubt en
the subject. The Corn-laws may be right, or they may
be wrong ; he is not quite certain which. We quote
his remarks on this point :—" There can be no greater
mistake, and where it is not a mistake, no more malevo-
lent calumny than that of certain brawlers. who say that
the present. Ministerial party do not care whether there
as enough of food for the people or not, and only concern
thems:eves about high prices for their own advan-
tage.' .'Be the Corn-laws right or wrong, they are
maintained from a belief that the whole body of
the people derive benefit from them, and more espe-
cially.that class which depends upon manual labour for
subsistence. So long as the Corn-laws continue the
labourers of. this country must be employed in raising
Eifel for this country's cm:sue:pc:ion. %Yee° the Cent-
laws repealed, and were our supply obtained by exchang-
ing our manufactures for foleieu corn, machines, and
not men, would be the chief sources of our supply of
feed, aed tLc men who are no..v employed in providing
the - supply would have no one to hire them, and would,
consequcetly, laneuieh in the utmost distress. until they
thud."
The WorcesLr Chronicle is of opinion that no reme-
dial tneaeures of value are to be hoped for from the pre-
sent Government, observing—" Would. that we could
feel ourselves justified in holding out the pleasing antici-
pation that something like justice would at last he ren-
dered to an oppressed people by a Tory Administration.
But with the weight of a Buekingham, a Manley, a
Ripon, a Knatenbull, and a Graham, in the scale of the
landed aristocracy, who can so hope against hone as to
indulge in the deceitful vision that the scale of the popu-
lar interests will preponderate? How much more likely
will it hick the beam."
The Dublin Evening Post observes, in an artiee sug-
gested by Lord Shrewsbury's pamphlet :—" To what db
do the professions made on the part of this Ministry
?j
aril, the will adopt the very
.system of even-
hatitiei in the Government of
Ireland for which the Whigs had been daily and hourly
slandered and denounced—that, in fact, the Tories are

OLD COINS.—The ingenious Count Caylus,
the restorer of painting in encaustic, says, " to read an
inscription on a silver coin which has become obliterated
by wear, put the po!icr in the fire ; hen reel, hot, place
the coin upon it, and the inscription w:I1 plainly appear
of a greenish hue, but will disappear us the coin cools."
This method was Practised at the- mint to discover the
genuine coin when the silver was called in.
