of the full particulars of the trick played off' by the
Tories, which has vitiated the return. The conse- •
quence is, that the anti-rate party claim a victory
of 15 votes. We trust that they may be enabled
to substantiate their views, and convict their arro-
gant oppressors of mean chicane, as wed as of
violent plunder.
The Churchmen profess to be actuated by a re-
gard to religion. At Rochdale heads were broken,
coats were torn, rioting prevailed ; the police
were multiplied, the military were sent for ; bribery
and corruption, lying, and swearing, were all prac-
tised, and fostered. Will they serve the cause of re-
ligion ? Is morality promoted by these heated con-
tests ? Is that union of rnen in the bonds of
peace, wnich is so essential to the public welfare,
strengthened by such violent party disputes about
a sum which is acknowledged to be a trifle, but
which the Dissenters conscientiously object to pay ?
Suppose that by law the Dissenters are com-
manded to pay Church-rates, is it reasonable or
just that they who provide for their own religious
worship should also pay for the religious worship
of the Churchmen ? It is not, and the Church-
men are wrong ; the Churchmen are unjustly the
cause of all the riots and discord, which are the
consequences of levying the rate, and are responsible
to GoD and man for the scandal they bring on reli-
gion, and the injury they inflict on society. The
election of the clergy was taken out of the hands o►
the people at an early period of Christianity, on
account of the quarrels to which the elections gave
rise ; and if those quarrels were judged sufficient to
deprive the people of a most valuable privilege,
similar riots require that they should be imme-
diately relieved trom as serious a grievance.

The Radicals must rejoice to see the strong con-
demnation pronounced by the Whig Journals on
Tory policy and Tory statesmen. What is so
justly decryed we must presume will not be imitated
The decay of Toryism, properly read, is an instruc-
tive lesson for the Whigs. If it be hateful to the
community, if it be placed under the national ban,
to adopt it is wilfully to become outcasts from popu-
iarity and power. Every proof, therefore, which our
Contemporaries bring forward of the decay of To3y-
ism, is a warning to all statesmen to shun that
course of policy.
What, however, is the essence of Toryism,
which made it hated by the people ? Tyranny.
It spurned control, it defied reason, it denied
justice ; it followed, hiding its deceitful heart under
the cloak of dignity, its own arrogant self-will ; it
asserted the perfection of our institutions, it resisted
reform, it coerced the people, and it persecuted
those who demanded improvement. The law was
on its side ; its actions were legal ; the Legisla-
ture was for a considerable period more Tory
than it has latterly been Whig ; the men of
property were most of them Tories. Nevertheless
there circumstances did not save Toryism from re-
probation and decay. For the Whigs now to fall
into Toryism, would be a far greater fault in them
than in the Tories, for it would be to contradict

their own theories, while they see them confirmed
by their own success, and the failure of their
opponents.
They are accused, we see by the Sheffield Iris,
a very respectable paper, "of now having nearly
270 persons imprisoned for political offences,"
" whom they have pursued with a rigour unknown
during the worst days of Toryism." Let them
make haste, however much they may be encouraged
by the men of property, overgrown attorneys,
wealth-swollen manufacturers, great brewers, and
others, who in like manner urged on the Tories,
yet could not save them, to alter this part of their
conduct. Let them lay aside the Tory mis-
trust of the people and re-assume that confi-
dence in them and in human nature which is
the basis of Whiggism. They may be only en-
forcing the law, but the law will not protect them
from condemnation. The law is a Tory law, made
for Tory purposes, founded on those ruinous anti-
social principles of mistrust and discord which the
Whigs repudiate ; and let them be warned that en-
iorcing a bad law, and making other bad laws, ruined
the Tories. We conclude by expressing our hope,
since the very Ministerial Morning Chronicle and
G'obe have both taken the opportunity of the termi-
nation of the Session to denounce Toryism, that the
Ministers have resolved to eschew that ruinous course
of policy, and will begin by releasing political of-
fenders, whom nothing but an excess of coercive

zeal in the 'Whigs,—more Tory than was dis-
played by the Tories, could ever have consigned to
dungeons.

According to accounts received from Berlin,
which will be found in another part of the Paper,
under the head of " Dutch and German Mail,"
the Prussian Government and the Archbishop of
POSEN have settled the differences which have
prevailed for some time between Church and State.
The Archbishop forwarded a petition to the KING,
to which his MAJESTY acceded, and thereupon
issued an Ordinance permitting the return of the
Archbishop to his diocese.

Several of the French Journals persist in regard-
ing France as insulted in her honour by the signing
of the Quadruple Treaty without any official inti-
mation having been given her that such an event
was decided upon by the Four Powers. In this
the writers manifest an entire unacquaintance with
the etiquette of diplomacy, and mislead the public
mind on a question upon which it is of the utmost
importance that no misconception should exist.
The susceptibilities of nations are easily roused
against any imputed act derogatory to their honour
on the part of their allies ; and blood has often
flowed which a frank and loyal explanation on the
one part, and a just comprehension of official usages
on the other, might have easily prevented.
In the signing of conventions by several States
it is not usual to give formal notice to Powers who,
without being principals, might feel called upon to
protest against their ratification. To do so, and
yet to persist in ratifying them regardless of such pro-
tests, would be regarded in no other than the light of
a most aggravated insult, and would be resented on
the part of a great nation by an instant. declaration
of war. Thus when the Quadruple Treaty between
England, France, Portugal, and Spain was signed,
no notification was given to Ausn ia, Russia, or
Prussia, who, by protesting against its ratification,
would have perilled the peace of Europe. These
Powers were sufficiently acquainted with diplomatic
etiquette to take no offence at the existence of such
a treat)—they were merely content passively to
throw obstacles in the way of its fulfilment. Trea-
ties are, after all, but the expression of a strong in-
ternational opinion, and are least offensive when not
paraded in the teeth of a dissentient.
With respect to the Quadruple Treaty for the
settlement of the Eastern Question, everything
connected with it was well known to the French
Government from the moment the first draught of it
was put into the hands of the plenipotentiaries.
M. GUIZOT was as conversant with its contents as
Lord PALMERSTON, and it was the wish of the
British, Austrian, Russian, and Prussian Govern-
ments that he should be so. When no doubt re-
mained that France would not rsior the treaty, and
had receded from the policy advocated by her
Cabinet in January and Jtily 1839, and again in
January 1840, care was taken not to give an official
notice of the signing of the treaty to M. GUIZOT,
inasmuch as ie Four Powers could not proceed
without disregarding the protest of the French
Minister, and thus offer a wanton insult to the
susceptibility of the French nation. We repeat
there was no concealment but such as delicacy to-
wards France rendered imperative. In the question
at issue she could pretend to no interest not shared
to an equal extent by England, Russia, and even
Austria. She had herself previously given her
sanction to the main conditions of the treaty, and
l was only prevented from co-operating in carry-
ing them into effect by the accession of a statesman
to the presidency of her councils who unfortunately
had given pledges to MEHEMET ALI by which he
has since laboured to bind the KING and the
French nation.
This explanation is intended to make the French
Press sensible of the fact, that had the English
Government adopted the course winch they have
indicated as the most friendly, an insult would have
been offered to Fiance, and that the Four Powers
studiously avoided it on that very account. The
state of isolation in which France stands was of her
own seeking. The negotiations on the Treaty were
all indirectly communicated to her from (lay to day,
in the hope that she might be prevailed upon to
unite with the o•-her Powers, who would have been
delighted to be joined-by her then-.or even now.

Nothing was sought inconsistent with her honour
=nothing demanded opposed to her interests—and
everything consonant with a determination to re-
strain Russia by securing the integrity of the Otto-
man empire.
The French Press has called for the tdctiAce of
Lord PA LMEitsToN. We may, with more reason
on our side, suggest the temporary retirement of
M. THIERS. Not that we wish to excite a pre-
judice against that Statesman ; but on the Eastern
question his hands are unfortunately tied up, and
until that be settled we shall regard his continuance

aEtutrhopeeahneactlzioifnityth.e
WFhoerenigtnhe
Eastern question is
settled we shall be the first in this country to wel-
come his return to office, if such be the will of the
French nation.

The time has not yet arrived to speak of the
wishes and the position of the KING. Per-
sonalty his views are widely different from
those of his IVlinistel2,-He knows that however po-
pular a war might be onAle first breaking out of
hostilities, the consequences would not be more fatal
to the prosperity of any couktry than to France her-
self. Her limited resources, notwithstanding the
boasted strength of her army and navy, are well-
known to the KING, as well as the inability of the
great bulk of the people to sustain the weight of
fresh war-taxes. Ships are rormidable things, and
so are armies, especially when:composed of French-
men ; but without money—the real
.sinews of war—
they are powerless against a combination such as is
represented 5y the Quadruple Treaty.
What is intended to be J..set forth in this article
then is :-1. That a formal notice of the determi-
nation of the British Government to sign the last
Quadruple Treaty could not be given to France
before the ratification of such treaty, without
thereby insulting our ally, and that a contrary
course was adopted out of respect for her. 2. That
though France was not officially cognizant of the
existence of the treaty, yet that in another and a
more friendly form her Government was made ac-
quainted, through the medium of Lord PALMER-
STON, with its purport, and with every stage of its
advancement. 3. That the Four Powers, in not
communicating officially the treaty to France before
ratification, were anxious to prevent the signing of a
protest on her part, which would tie up her hands,
before sufficient time was allowed her to examine
her isolated position, and to weigh well the conse-
quences of withdrawing herself wholly from an al-
liance with Powers, who would be happy, in con-
cert with her, to concede to MEHEMET ALI
every claim which he could advance not inconsis-
tent with the complete integrity of the Ottoman
Empire. 4. That the retirement of M. THIERS
from office would remove the greatest obstacle that
exists to the re-union of France with the Four
Powers—that Minister having pledged himself, to
an extent not binding on the KING or the French
nation, to make common cause with the VICEROY,
in the event of his being threatened with, an inva-
siom by the Four Powers.

The German Papers just received bring the fol-
lowing.' intelligence from Constantinople. It is
highly important, inasmuch as it represents the
VICEROY as anxious to come to a settlement with
the SULTAN previous to the adoption of any coer-
cive measures by the Great Po ;vers. Seeing that
the VICEROY objects rather to the dictation of the
Quadruple Alliance than to the terms which the Four
Powers may deem it expedient to propose, and that
France shares in the susceptibility of the PA CHA,
we think it would perfectly accord with the dignity
and the pacific intentions of the Powers to leave tothe
SULTAN in the first instance the arrangement of a
treaty on a
.basis regulated by them, under a guarantee
o 2 not consenting to its modification without their
permission. The only object of the Treaty of
Alliance is to maintain the integrity of the
Turkish empire ; and if that object can be per-
fectly realised without the ostensible interference of
the Four Powers, we should regard such a course
as the most desirable.

Another important subject touched upon is the
continuance still of disturbances in Syria. The
suddenness with which the mountaineers were re-
ported to have la'.d down their arms astonished us
more than that they had taken them up to resist
the tyranny of the VICEROY. The news now
communicated of their being still in arms appears
to us not at all improbable.
CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 22.—Sami Bey left on the
19th on board the Nile steamer, to return to Alexandria.
His mission may be considered as having totally fe•led.

Reschid Pk.cha's answer was, that it was now impos-
sible to accept even the best intended proposals of the
Viceroy, as the Porte had repeatedly declared that it could
not make any arrangement with the Pacha of Egypt
without the concurrence of the Powers ; that it had entered
into engagements to this eff,ct, which it could not disregard.
Besides the terms proposed by Mehemet Ali for an ami-
cable arrangement did not answer the expectations of the
Sultan, many important points not being touched upon.
The Porte would, however, immediately communicate the
Viceroy's proposals to the Great Powers, and wait for what
they might decide in the conference at London. Saari Bey,
however, expresses his opinion that the proposals he brought
are by no means to be looked upon as an ultimatum ; on t
contrary, he hopes shortly to return with the whole
Turkish fleet, as the bearer of more accely able proposals,
it being the most ardent wish of the Viceroy to be in a
situation to give the Sultan proofs of his devotedness and
h
attachment, the sincerity of which had hitherto been un-
justly doubted. Sarni Bey was treated with great dis-

The .Hydra packet, which arrived here a few days ago,
brought despatches from London, dated the 4th of July,
on the receipt of which Lord Ponsonby immediately com-
municated with Reschid Paella. It seems that the Porte
has received very serious exhortations not to enter into nego-
ciations with Egypt, because the Plenipotentiaries of the
Porte and of the European Powers were on the point of
agreeing to a solution of the Oriental question. Accounts
from Syria say that the French Consul at Beyrout had
again hoisted his colours.
The troubles in Syria were not quelled, and it was
thought the Maronites would hold out some time longer.
BRUSSELS, Auousr 9.—The accounts from Prussia,
Bavaria, Baden, Wurtemberg, and in general from all
Germany, respectirig the crops are highly satisfactory, and
it is expected that the harvest will be one of the most
abundant that has been for a great many years.
If we are rightly informed, orders have been given to
break up the camp at Beverloo about thenth of this month.
General Daine has received his Majesty's orders to express
to the troops in the camp his entire satisfaction with their
appearance and proficiency.
His Majesty has caused forty
francs to be distributed amongst each company.
BRUSSELS, AUGUST 10.—The Count of Syracuse,
brother of his Majesty the King of the Two Sicilies, has
arrived in this city on his way to Holland.
The magistrates of Brussels have reduced the price of
bread.

BRUSSELS, AUGUST 11.—Mr. Northomb had, on the
sth of August, a formal audience of the Grand Duke of
flesEe at Darmstadt, at which he delivered to his Royal
Highness his credentials as Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary of the King of the Belgian-J.
ANTWERP, AUG. 10.—Yesterday the Prince and Prin.

the Soho steamer, for London.
Mr. Fox Strangways, Envoy Extraordinary to the

The ordinary arrivals.
from Paris of Tuesday's
date bring very little news of
any interest. The
Ministerial Journals, the Constitutionnel and the
Moniteur Parisien of Tuesday night, condemn
the determination of the Council to send Prince
Louis NAPOLEON before the Court of Peers,
instead of a Jury, for trial ; whereas the Court
organ,
the Journal des Debuts, applauds the trial
of the Prince by the highest Court in the realm.
M. TH I ERS then was for trying the Prince by, a
common Jury, but the King over-ruled the advice
of the Minister, and insisted on a trial before the
Peers. In this instance, we think the Minister was

significance the surest way was to. have tried
and to have reduced him
him as a vulgar offender against the laws. As
for the objection of the Debals, that the Crown
could not depend upon the verdict of a Jury, it
speaks as ill for the loyalty of the nation as for the
subserviency of the Court of Peers, which cannot
find the Prince guilty without casting a stain upon
the Chambers which in January last voted the

legitimacy of NApoLEO.N". However much the

The further accounts received of the affair at
noUlogne will be found in another part of The
Sun. They supply no materials for con-in-tat.
The tone of the leading Paris Journals is still
pacific. Still, many of the hest-informed persons
in Paris seem to think that, without a modification
of the Cabinet, which shall include the retirement
of M. THiERs,-the difficulty of preserving peacc
is not at all lessened by the amicable speech of Lon,
PALMERSTON and the moderation of the English,
Journals. Tnis op;iiion is not borne out by tlb
Constitutionnel of Tuesday, which thus gives ex
pression to the modified and pacific intentions of the
French Premier :

" The English journals comment upon the speech of
Lord Palmerston as the homage rendered to the French
alliance, and as a guarantee for the preservation of peace.
We have ourselves received with satisfaction the language
of the English Minister, and we have found th, rein the
proof that public opinion in England will not n,aard the
chance of w, r, and that the ‘Vitig Cabinet has deemed it
necessary to tranquillise the alarm which it had involun•
tartly raised. In this respect the discourse of Loid Pal-
merston is very important, and we are not of the number
of those persons who think that a statesman can act in a
contrary sense to the language he has held in Parliament.
We are, then, sure that acts will follow wt.rds, and that
our alliance with England, for a moment shaken, will
soon have resumed all its intimacy, and will be still more
fortified after the misunderstanding which bad just compro-
mised it."

This is satisfactory enough ; and were the report
true which has reached us, that the courier sent by
M. Ells to Egypt is commissioned to apprise
the VICEROY that France cannot openly espouse
his cause against the Four Powers, and that it is the
wish of the French Government that he should an-

ticipate, by a timely concession, the demands of the
Powers, we might look forward to a speedy settle-
ment of the question in which France would figure
in the respectable chatacter of a mediator. That
war was not anticipated in Germany is attested b)
the following extracts from the German papers
quoted by our Paris contemporaries iii juxtaposi-
tion with their own comments on Lord PALMER-
STON'S speech :
" The quadruple treaty," says the Frankfort Journal, of
the 9th, in a Berlin letter of the 31, " concluded by Rus-
sia, Austria, Prussia, and England. for the pacification of
the East, has exercised here less ialuence on the funds
than in the other great European cities. The wsrlike de-
monstrations of France are generally laughed at here, as
she certainly would not plunge into the embarrassments el
a war for such remote interests All this fuss m.y lead-to
a change in the French Ministry, which the Great Powers
would, perhaps, see with pleasure. So little is a con
centration of a French army on the bails of the Rhine
anticipated bete, that the formation of a corps of observa-
tion has not been dreamt of. Under the present circum-
stances, France appears to us to be above all other
Powers, the one which must most ardently desire peace."
The Nurenzberg Correspondent expresses the opinion
that war is impossible. " eeace," it says, "is necessary
for all Europe, and it will not be disturbed, even if the
quadruple treaty fir the pacification of the East should be
carried into execution. France will do as Russia did dur-
ing the siege of Antwerp—leave the sword in the scabbard.
The warlike tone of the French papers does not alarm us,
and we are astonished at the panic on the Paris Bourse."
The Frankfort German Journal in its Cologne corre-
spondence states that, so far from there being any signs of
a corps of observation in Rhenish Prussia, orders, on the
contrary, had arrived to disband provisionally the troops
which base been two year in service, and such a step
would not have been taken but front the conviction that
peace was certain
One.party in Paris will have it that M. THIERS
will at last sacrifice MEHEMET ALI to the main•
tenance of his own power, and the British alli-
ance. "M. THIERS," say they, "is an able
man—the cleverest man perhaps in France ; but
he is not a man to sacrifice the Presidency of the
Council, and the glory of directing the internal
policy of Europe to a punctilious regard for some
rash pledge given in a moment of Egyptian enthu-
siasm to the Government of Alexandria."
The Journal de Rouen mentions among the persons ar
restel two new names, M. de Chateaubleau and the Duc
de P., peer of France. The Due de Padouc, whose moue
several k.urnals give at full length, is not a member of
the Chamber of Peers, and his name is not mentioned in
any official document.
The infatuation of. the Bonapartists is inconceivable.
Not to understand that, at this moment, the army will al-
ways folio,. the movements of the Chamber, betrays com-
plete ignorance of the state of things.
The Chamber has the kegs of the treasury, and regu-
lates by law the fate of the army. The officers have now
no private fortune. Their whole dependence is on their
profession. They cannot, therefore, expose it to the
chances of fortune, and it is very is markable that
in 1814, 1815, and 1830, the army did not divide
into two parties, it did not eneage in a civil war
either for Napoleon or Charles the Tenth. It went over
altogether to Bonaparte, to the Bourbons, and to the Duke
of Orleans. The army, then, is Parliamentary, because
the Parliament must govern it. and it will therefore be
always for the Government. If, instead of a Parliament,
the election of which is a monopoly, we had a Parliament
chosen by all the tax-payers, the army would be national
instead of bring parliamentary.—La Gazette de France.

cial visit to M. de Redorte, which t:ie latter returned on

long, and they seemed much satisfied with each other.
" General Van Haien and Pastor have likewise visited
our Anibissador. Ey( rybody at Barcelona, and M. de

counts given by the telegraph and certain journals, of the
events of the 19th and 21st."

Lieutenant Janvier, of the French navy, is said
to have discovered the means of getting up the steam of

is, it is added, to be accomplished without any additiontl

MEDHURST—MANSLAUGHTER.---All appli-
cation was made some days since to the Marquis of Nor-
manby for a commutation, or rather remission, of the sen-
tence of the young gentleman named Medhurst, who is
under sentence of three years' imprisonment for the man-
slaughter of his schoolfellow at Hillingdon. The refusal
was a decided negative on the merits. He has, therefore.
somewhat more than a year and a half still of his term of
imprisonment to serve. He is allowed, however, under
proper restrictions, to occupy himself in what is called the
engineer's room with a lathe, as be has a strong mechanical
turn, and manufactures toys, such as chessmen, and similar
articles. He seems much subdued in spirit, and conductss
himself very submissively.

PRSNCE ALBERT.—In a portion of our first edition
last evening, we gave an account of an alarming acci-
dent to his Royal Highness, which was furnished by an
occasional contributor of local news. The individual
subscribed his name as usual, and as we had no time to
make inquiry, we inserted the communication, at the
same time expressing a confident hope that the
report was greatly exaggerated. On applv'ng in the
proper quarter for information, we were glad to learn
that the report was entirely destitute of truth. How
it originated e have no means of ascerta ning ; but
from the following pnragraph in an Evening Contem-
porary, it appears that a general belief prevailed that
the rumour bad some foundation :—" A report got into
circulation to-day that Prince Albert had been thrown
from his horse and seriously injured. We are happy
to say, however, that there was not the least foundation
for the rumour, as upon inquiry at the Palace the an-
swer was that Prince Albert had not been out to-day,
