awkwardly. We admit that the prejudices or
opinions of the public are not to be rudely shocked
by any writer on any subject, but a want of skill
in authorcraft is neither a 'moral nor an indict•
able offence. In all that the Dispatch has
said about Royalty, the Times and the rest
of the Tory Journals know that it has ex-
pressed in popular terms a philosophic theory
of the government of society ; it may be
false, or it may' be true, but such a theory has
been very widely taught, and a man is not to be
hunted down like a wild beast for expounding
in an English newspaper the doctrines of PALEY
and the practices of the United States.
So again with the remarks quoted from the
Dispatch on the subject of religion, the writer,
as far as we see, always speaks of Christianity
as it is in England. Now, with all deference to
Churchmen, we contend it cannot be a crime—as
it is admitted that gross and flagrant abuses exist
in the Church----to assert that Church Chris-

tianity is wholly at variance with religion. If it
he a crime to entertain End' a belief, we avow it.
Nay, we will boldly assert that the conduct
of the priesthood, perpetually hunting after
worldly honours and wealth at the expense of all
►he charities of life and even of common honesty, has
done more injury to morality and religion than all

the writings of all the infidels who ever put pen to
paper. What did the Bishop of LONDON say of
the priesthood in the House of Lords last Session ?
Why, that they could be got to sign any petition
about the Church, recommended l;y•the Archdeacon
and the Bishop. What did their own petition
about the Liturgy say ? That they did not approve
of all which they are obliged to read and teach,
and which they have sworn to observe. It is the
conduct of the professors and teachers of Chris-
tianity which has made very staunch Christians
say that the Church of England " kills more souls
than she saves." Such a sentiment is coarsely
and continually expressed in the Dispatch,
when the writer condemns the Christian religion
in England. It suits the priest party, how-
ever, to cut out of the Dispatch merely the
abusive expressions, without a single word as
to the occasion which called them forth,
and so to create an impression against the writer
that he is a causeless, heartless abuser of the whole
of Christianity—of all that is beautiful and good
in it—as well as all the corruptions of the English

priesthood.
The conduct of the Tories is as vilely dis-

honest as the false testimony we have already con-
victed them of having borne. In fact their con-
duct is virtually false testimony ; it is that of a
Jesuit, not of an open-hearted honest Englishman.

It may be a part of the truth, but it is not the
whole truth ; not such truth as even rogues tell in
a Court of Justice, and as honest men tell on all
occasions. The whole of the extracts from the
Dispatch which have been published, whether
they have appeared originally in the Times
or in the denunciation in the name of the
Livery, have been made with a view of in-
flicting an injury. They have not been made
to enable the Livery to pass an honest and a
calm judgment, but to lead them astray. The
purpose and the execution are alike dishonest. The
Tories seek a base end by immoral means.

It may be said, perhaps, that, entertaining such
opinions as are expressed in the Dispatch, Mr. Al-
derman HARMER has no right to seek for the ho-
nours of the Magistracy. But Mr. Alderman
HARMER does not entertain such opinions; and if

le did, why should he nut, when he has served his

fellow•citiaens faithfully for many years, ask his due
reward at their hands ? It is not for Alderman
HARMER that we are solicitous, but for the public,
who will be seriously injured if they adopt the prin-
ciple of withholding those honours which are pro-
perly destined to reward good conduct on account
of speculative religious and political opinions.

It is the boast of Mr. SINCLAIR, the Secretary
of the National Society, that the Government and
the Priesthood have now come to a common under-
standing on the subject of National Education.
Whether it be so or not, the Priesthood give it out
that the Government have come into their views,
and are to aid them in subjugating the minds and
hearts of the people. We hope it is not so, and
yet it seems so much in accordance with past prac-
tices, that we fear there is some truth in the asser-

tion.
Our statesmen may well be alarmed, we admit,
by a great movement of the public mind, which
does not originate from them, and appears to defy
their control. Under the influence of that alarm
they may very naturally look for help to those
spiritual contrivances which have for their object to
drill mankind into patience and obedience under
particular systems, and have long been accredited
amongst nations. The clergy have proclaimed
aloud that all kinds of political and social disorders
spring from their own want of power ; and our
statesmen, having no cure for the alarming disease
of an utter separation of the people from their rulers,
may have been and are willing to correct what
they deem wrong by strengthening the hands of the
priesthood.
We may perhaps be mistaken, but we think the
silence of the two Ministerial newspapers on the
election of Mr. HARMER, is an elucidation of such
an alliance. Is a Liberal to be silently sacrificed,
that the Bishop of LONDON may be propitiated ?
They are very short-sighted politicians who
suppose that society is either to be governed or
controlled by any such means. All laws and re-
gulations must have a close connection with
the wants and knowledge of the people.
At present they want bread, want room,
want physical comforts and enjoyments. Will
establishing more churches supply them ? Will
increasing the number of opulent clergy teach them
contentment ? We answer, No. They are already
aware of what the clergy can do for them. They
have experienced that through many years. They
know pretty well, too, what they can do
for themselves ; and whatever a few prim
Oxford students, like Mr. GLADSTONE, may
say, or a few Bishops may preach, the
knowledge of the people is as completely
opposed to the renewed and extended do-
minion of the priesthood as are the wants of so-
Those statemen, therefore, be they Whigs
or Tories, who expect to strengthen their power
and model society according to a plan of their own,
by the help of the Church and of laws, will be
egregiously mistaken. The attempt, supposing it
to be made, will supply a proof of want of saga-
city and want of skill to appreciate the present
circumstances of mankind, and will sink state-craft
faster and deeper in public estimation.
Unobserving persons take hold of this matter at
the wrong end, and suppose that regulations make
society, instead of society making regulations.
Look at it as a whole, take it not only as it now
exists, but as it existed—waxing and seldom wan-
ing, through all past times ; see the extent of
its commerce, its literature, its science, its va-
ried industry ; see how they continually grow
and alter, without being either fostered, pro•
tested, or dictated by either the State or the
Church, and then probably the conviction will be
attained that neither now, nor in any past time, was
the progress of society, or its happiness, much de-
pendent on the guiding care of either. If, then, our
present rulers suppose that they can give society a
new phasis by increasing
the powers of the Church,

cietv.

if they fancy that they can by any such means
put an end to want, and change conviction
the growth of much experience, they will only
convince the world that they have learnt much
less than the people they essay to govern. Fur
such an end it is not worth while to sacrifice
party consistency and the approbation of the
people, which those who cannot attain it stig-
matize as popularity.

When we condemn the conduct of the Horse
Guards and the Earl of CARDIGAN, the former
for listening to backbiting stories, and the latter for
carrying them, and indulging in wanton impertinence,
we cannot believe that such conduct would have
got to such a height, or been continued so long,
had the junior or subaltern officers always shown a
proper spirit, and resented such unjustifiable and
ungentlemanly proceedings. No doubt there has
always been found in the army, as elsewhere, young
men who have relied more on flattering their supe-
riors, and on doing their dirty work, than on their
own merits for success in the service, and the ser-
vlity of such persons has encouraged that arrogance
in Colonels and in Generals, of which the army
now begins to complain.

In our opinion, Colonel the Earl of CARDIGAN,
who, at the mess-table, is merely, we believe, one of
the mess, had no right or authority to send the mes-
sage he sent, or any such message, to Captain REY-
NOLBS. If he had no right to send it, we can con-
ceive no j ustification for the officer who carried it. For
messages the Colonels have their orderlies, and we
were not before aware that Captains performed
such office's. Still less were we aware that they
would condescend to bear insulting messages, which
no gentleman ought silently and submissively to re-
ceive. If Colonel the Earl of CARDIGAN had not
found a willing agent, he would have been obliged
to deliver his impertinence himself ; and then he
would probably at once have received such a reply,
as would have prevented him troubling the Horse
Guards with a partial statement.

At length the friends of Mr. Alderman HA R-
MER are beginning to stir themselves. A meeting,
we perceive by a❑ advertisement in our paper, has
been called for this evening at the London Coffee-
House, which, we have no doubt, will be numerously
attended. The independent members of the Livery
will hasten to embrace the opportunity of testifying
to Mr. HARMER that they are not to be deterred
by threats, or deluded by promises, from support-
ing their oldest and longest proved friends.

A few days ago the Times took under its
patronage a new mode of carrying on warfare, which
is to annihilate a fleet at a great distance, and
render wholly unavailable that skill which, as we
showed, is the source of Great Britain's maritime su-
periority. We observed then that this wonderful in-
ventor ought to be hanged as soon as possible, if
all was true that the Times said of him, and if the
ordinary policy of States was worthy of the least
approbation. Perhaps we might add that the
Editor of the Times, as a particeps criminis, ought
to dangle on the same string ; particularly as the
wonderful and self-denying patriot whose cause it
espoused, is said, by a provincial paper, to have
largely profited by the puffs of the 'limes, and
made money of the invention. He has sold it, so
goes the report, to the foreigner. For his gains the
Times is answerable, partly responsible for any in-
jury which may therefrom accrue to the country.
This morning the Times has gone on a different
tack, and with much nautical eloquence about " a
mooring chain, which links together the shores of
opposite hemispheres," and about a " floating
bridge, securing the peaceful and profit-
able intercourse of their inhabitants"—which
two figures make a navy at once a thing

half buried in the mud, intended to hold
a ship in one spot, and the thing it holds
floating buoyant on the ocean,—the Times this
morning has gone on a different tack, and has talked
very learnedly and very terrifically about the great
difficulty of procuring seamen for our ships. But
why should it be anxious for seamen when it pos-
sesses a secret, which is to render their services un-
available ? Or, if that secret be sold to another
State, is it not cruel in the Times to stimulate the
public into providing more seamen, and more ships,
to be sunk and annihilated by the newly-invented
lightning, without a possibility of helping themselves?
If we were not aware of afar better and more enduring
reason why our ships cannot get seamen than the
hard work on board them—a reason which demon-
strates, not the wickedness (for that was before
known), but the extreme and glaring folly of injus-
tice, we should be induced to believe that the
fearful inventions talked of by the Times had de-
terred men from exposing themselves to be blown
to atoms with out help or rescue. But the Times
knows that there exists such a reason, for it was
formerly assiduous and eloquent in denouncing
the depraved system by which our fleet
was manned. It has now, however, taken up a
different view, and for the purpose of hitting the
present Ministry makes, this morning, the follow-
ing notoriously incorrect I-Iris-statement :
" Alter lavishing her treasures upon every region of
the earth, and mixing her best blood with the waters
of every ocean, England, by the help of Providence,
possessed herself of both the above great prizes—(A
fleet of unrivalled strength, and a system Joe giving sta-
bility to such preponderance). She had acquired the
most formidable fleet that ever existed in the world,
and had established and matured a systenzfor the sup-
port of it unequalled by anything in the records of prac-
tical administi a lion."

......_ ____
It is not only unequalled, according to the
Times, but calculated to give stability to our
maritime preponderance. We find this asserted in
the Times, which some few months back copied
Captain MA RRYAT'S account of the habitual
desertion of our seamen to the United States, and
which contained the records of the destruction of
the prestige of our naval superiority in the capture
of our frigates by the Americans before the close
of last war. We find that in the Times, which, in
common with every other liberal and intelligent
Journal, has long and continually denounced the
favouritism and patronage practised in the govern-
ment of the navy, by which valuable and deserving
officers were disgusted with the service, and driven
from.it, and by which commissions, giving them an-
nuities or pensions, were bestowed on the scions of
the aristocracy.
In another part of the Times it is asked,
" What are the grandest men-of-war in our dock-
yards but torpid masses of wood and copper with-
out tars to animate and move them ?" The Times
is well aware, therefore, that seamen are the soul of
our naval greatness, and yet it has now the scan-
dalous audacity to praise the barbarous and matured
system of impressment as unequallsystemed
for securingdidand
our naval preponderance. rrr
it still does, by its consequences, drive our sea-
men to America, and prohibits them, by its
terrors, from entering our ships. If the Times
does not mean by the language we have
quoted the barbarous system so long the disgrace
of England, and whicilatis
doesu ditestirnoeyainng?herlfmai-t
ma-
ritime supremacy, w
mean that, can any writer sink lower than to be-
come the apologist of that cut-throat, man-stealing
theing
system, after having for years denounced it, merely
for the purpose of raising an argument against
MINT() Board ? Let the public judge. At the
same time we are not the apologists of that Board.
Till more rational means are taken to ensure the
free and voluntary services of seamen, not only
I now, but at all future times, beginning by a

solemn condemnation of the scoundrel man-
stealing practices of impressment, we shall hold
the MINTo Board, and every other Beard of
Admiralty, to be regardless alike of their duty to
humanity and to the naval supremacy of Great
Britain. To be durable that must be founckd
on justice, and justice is doubly recommended when
it begins. at home.

The following news from Spain has
greatly sur-
prised us ; it is copied from the Paris journals of
Wednesday. We had heard that Queen CHRIS-
TINA, when in a pet at Barcelona, threatened to
take refuge in France ; but it never occurred to us
that King Louts PHILIPPE could have sanctioned
such a proceeding, as he must have known that
once out of Spain the REGENT would never Le
suffered to to-enter it as the head of the Govern-
ment. That the Camarilla has been supported in
all its intrigues against the Constitutionalists by the
countenance of the French Court is known to
everybody ; but that so sagacious a Prince as
Louis PFULIPPE would prepare for re-enacting
the libetticide tragedy performed by France; at the
instance of the feeble
and despotical FERDINAND
VII., in the present state of public feeling in
France and England, is an idea which we refused
to entertain for an instant. And yet intimations to
this effect must have reached the REGENT from
some quarter in correspondence with the Tuileries.
Fortunately, however, for the REGENT, Sir
ARTHUR ASTON, the British Ambassador, did
not conceal from her MAJESTY that to abandon
the kingdom would deprive her of the sympathy of
the British Government, which was only pledged to
support her MAJESTY while representing the Go-
vernment of Constitutional Spain. His Excel-
lency, moreover, gave the REGENT to understand
that the British Government regarded the Munici-
palities Bill, passed by the present Cones, as sub-
versive of the Constitution ; and stronOy recom-
mended to her an adoption of the counsels of
ESPARTERO and the Junta. Nor was this all.
Seeing from the firm conduct of the Junta and the
obstinacy of the REGENT that affairs were hasten-
ing to a crisis in which the Throne might be pe-
rifled, the British Ambassador left Madrid for Va-
lencia on the 13th inst, to make a last effort to per-
suade the QUEEN to listen to the salutary advice of
General ESPARTERO. What follows is known to
our readers—EsPAßTEßO's appointment to the
Presidency of the Council having appeared in The
Sun of yesterday. The following is the news al-
luded to, as we find it in Wednesday's papers :
A private letter from Madrid of the 15th, gives the
following information :—" It is reported in the best in-
formed circles, that Louis Philippe would have Queen
Christina and her two daughters leave Spain. I am
just informed that despatches have been intercepted,
which decidedly referred to.this subject. But the Juntas,
who are vigilant, have taken the most energetic
measures ; tey . certainly do not wish to oppose
the departure of Maria Christina de Bourbon, but
they do not wish that Spain should be thrown into con-
fusion, parties divided, and civil war inevitably kindled
by carrying away the young Isabella and her sister.
England has engaged to second us to hinder it ; and it
is very probable that the principal object of the depar-
ture of the British Ambassador is to see that these pro-
jects of Louis are defeated."
We find the following article to the same effect in
the Memorial Bordelais, of the 21st.—
It was reported at Bayonne, on the 19th, that
Queen Christina and her two daughters were to em-
bark at Valencia, on board a Franch vessel, which was
to convoy them to Bilboa. In our opinion, this would
be equivalent to exciting a new civil war in that un-
happy country ; it is even said, that the journeys of
M. de Miraflores and of the Marchioness of Santa
Cruz had some connection with 'this project."
The Madrid Journals of the 16th say, that most of
the towns in Andalusia had followed the example of
the capital.—Le Commerce.
At Toulon, Admiral Latande had been released from
quarantine, and was to leave for Paris on the 22d inst.
It was reported in Paris yesterday, that the French
Levant mail, due at Marseilles on Monday last, had
arrived with the intelligence of the capture of Beyrout
by Commodore Napier, and the commencement of the
blockade of Egypt. The capture of Beyrout was not
credited,

The Madrid Journals received are of the 17th
inst. In the Gazette of that date we find a De-
cree of the Junta of the capital, ordering the other
Juntas to arrest the late Ministers, EVARISTE
PEREZ DE CAETRO, I.ORENZo A nnAzOLA,
RAMON SANTILLAN, SERAFIN MARIA 'DE
SOTO, COUnt DE CLONARD, AGUSTIN Alt-
MENDARIZ, and JUAN DE DIOS SOTELO, for hav-
ing advised the QUEEN to sanction the Ayuntami-
entos Law. This Decree is dated the sth inst.,
and is followed by the answers received from dif-
ferent Juntas promising compliance therewith.
The following article from the Madrid Gazelle
of the 16th inst. is in answer to some severe
strictures on the anarchical state of Spain which
appeared in the Presse, the Journal des Dehats,
and the Constitutionnel:—

Now that the political horizon is somewhat cleare
from the mist in which it was enveloped—now that the
powerful voice of the conqueror of Luchana and Mo-
rella has dissipated so many illusions, and baffled so
many guilty designs—it appears to us both opportune
and seasonable to examine into some of the probable
consequences of the memorable events of these latter
days. We shall limit ourselves for to-day by foreseeing
in what manner the manifestation of the Ist September,
and those of the provinces, which have been the echo of
that of the capital, will be judged by hbcral Europe.
When once the opinion is rivetted by impartial recitals,
it will be promptly known that Madrid never wished
to lower the dignity of the Throne ; that a whole nation
rose like one man to exact an observance of the funda-
mental law, and nothing else ; that in the midst of the
natural effervescence of the passions not a drop of
blood has been shed, and no excitement to revenge, no
hatred to gratify, and no revenge which has been so
long suppressed. It will be known that the unani-
mous voice of the people, from Guadalquivir to the Tor-
mes,fi am Manzanares to the Tagus, and front Guadala.
viar to the Ebro, has been the Constitution 0f1837, and
the constitutional Queen Isabella 11. ! That harmony
of sentiment, that unity of object and plan, that gran-
diose spectacle of the most admirable order, given by
those very persons who were declared to 1,„ 1
tile
most inveterate enemies of the people, will assume of
more determined tune to Europe than the voice 0
anger and deception, by justifying our intentions and
desires, and will reveal, in short, those who arc the re-
volutionary ones, those who are the instigators of
revolutions by arbitrary acts, or those who,
urged on by them, put them in force. The manifests.

lieve that it will increase, if possible, the fame of our
valour and virtues ; and we entertain the deepest con-
viction that the natural consequences of the manifesta-
tions of September Ist will be to inspire respect every

the place which so justly belongs t

The following intelligence from Constantinople,
from the Augsburg Gazette, is of a date one day
later than the correspondence direct from the
Turkish capital received this morning. It appears
from the private letters, that MEHEMET ALr's
refusal of the ultimatum of the Four Powers did
not in the least surprise either the SULTAN or his
Ministers.
The latest ailvices from Persia are of the 14th
August. The SHAII was then at Hamadan with
his army, but so ill with the gout as to be unable
to quit his tent.
That most high, most potent, and most sage

monarch, OTHO of Greece, had sent an Ambas-
sador to the Porte with a sword in one hand, and a
commercial treaty in the other, with orders to R Es-
CH ID PACIIA to take his choice. The Mus:ul-
man politely declined both, as well as all recogni-
tion of the person of the bearer ; so to avoid an
acquaintance with a Turkish prison, the warlike
Greek was constrained to put himself under the
protection of the French Ambassador.
CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 3.—Extraordinary
diplo-
matic activity is observed here. Conferences upon
conferences are held. The Ambassadors of the Five
Powers meet alone almost every day; to watch over the
interests of the European States in the East ; and on
the other hand, there are frequent consultations in
which Redschid Paella takes part either at Lord Pon-
sonby's, or at the Porte itself. In one of the European
conferences the question was discussed, whether in the
present state affair the Consuls of the Four Powers
shall be recalled from Alexandria. It was decided that
they should remain there for the present, but that,
meantime, instructions should be given them to leave
Egypt if they should judge it proper on any occasion,
however trifling, if it arose from Mehemet Ali's per-
verseness in his conduct towards them. But as Me-
hemet Ali has refused to comply with their proposal to
confer with him on the alarming state of things, they
Will no longer act as a body, so that there can
he no cellision with them, except individually,
so that only the one concerned will have to leave Alex-
andria. This may be attended with the advantage
that will be obtained without eclat, which would other-
, wise cause the greatest uneasiness to the Europeans re-
siding in Egypt. The conferences of the European
Ministers with the Porte are ,equally imp,rtant ; they
all relate to the measures of coercion to be employed
against Mehemet Ali. The result of these consulta-
tions is kept profoundly secret. All that I can learn in
the best-informed quarters is only that the Turkish
expedition to Syria (about 6,000 men) is to go imme-
diately from Cyrus to its destination, as the Viceroy
has already lost all right to Syria, including the
Pachalik of Acre ; that this expedition will be followed
immediately by a second much more considerable one,
of 14,000 men ; lastly, the Pachas now commanding in
Syria, who were all appointed by Mehemet Ali, shall
be copfirmrd, in order to break the force of their pos-
sible resistance, or to facilitate their defection from Me-
hemet Ali. But an influential voice (of a European
Ambassador) is said to have expressed doubts on this
last opinion, which induced the others to adjourn the
decision of this point to the next conference. Prince
Licven has arrived here from St. Petersburgh, with in-
structions from M. Von Titoff.

The news contained in the French Journals of
Wednesday was yesterday anticipated by the ex-
traordinary expresses from Paris. The political
atmosphere is still gloomy. From the court to
the cabin the cry of war prevails throughout
France.

The Cons/U:l6mnd says :—" The recruiting depots,
as they were in 1830, continue to be completely be-
sieged, not only by young men, but by old soldiers,
eager to enrol themselves as volunteers. During the
short time that this enthusiasm has existed, the depot
at Paris has inscribed as volunteers a greater number
than the whole class of recruits for 1839 for the entire
department of the Seine."
MILITARY PREPARATIONS.—The number of pieces
of field artillery has been ordered by the Minister of War
to be increased from 1,000 to 1,600. The store of mus-
!sets, &c., possessed by Government is very considerable,
but steps have been taken to have 500,000 manufactured
annually, if necessary. Orders have also been given for
the founding of 1,000 rampart cannon, and for making
large stores of copper, iron, tin, &c., besides sulphur and
saltpetre. Equipages for the waggon train and tha ar-
tillery are organizing on a very large scale, and pur-
chases of cloth for the uniforms of the new levies have
been made extensively. About 80,000 huts have been
r ordered to supply the means of lodging 30,000 soldiers
and workmen at Paris, 15,000 men at Metz, 15,000 at
Chalons, 15,000 at Befort, and 5,000 at St. Omer, the
barrack accommodation now existing not being suffi-
cient. All the military contingents havo now been
called out, and by the end of next month the total
force of the army, including old and new levies, will be
about 510,000 men. The number of infantry regi-
ments is to be increased from 88 to 100 ; and the
cavalry are to muster 60,000 horses, of which, how-
ever, 48,000 have to be purchased. The Minister
of the Interior has just ordered a new roll to be made
out of the National Guurds that can be mobilized.
MOVEMENT OF TROOPS. FORTIFICATIONS OF
PARIS.--" As there were not sufficient barracks," says
the Commerce, " to receive all the troops brought up to
Parrs from the camp at Fontainebleau, it became neces-
sary to quarter them upon the inhabitants at Charenton,
St. Maude, Vincennes, and the surrounding communes.
To put an end to this annoyance, it is said that a camp
is to be formed on the plain of Besons, between St.
Denis and St. Germain. All these troops, it is believed,
will remain there, not only dering the trial of Prince
Louis Bonaparte and his conferates, but until after the
remains of tne Emperor Napoleon are deposited at the
Invalides.
