MORNING SUN.

LONDON:
TUESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1841.

We have deliberately called Sir ROBERT PEEL
the Tamworth quack, and our reasons for doing
so ought to be stated. First, Sir RonEnT PEEL,
with the very essence of quackery, calls on us to
turn away our present physicians, and, without
condescending to say one word in explanation of
his own method, lie assures us that he knows a
specific for our disorders. " Only turn away the
other doctor," as he says, "and. place the patient
in my hands, I will answer to cure him." "But
how ?" is the reply., " you were one of his doc-
tors formerly, and your remedies made him

worse and worse. What new one have you got ?"
" That," answers Sir ROBERT, with a most ora-
cular shake of the head, " I will not state; but
place the patient again in my hands." That is
quackery, and the man who uses such language
Must be a political quack.
'Secondly, Sir ROBERT is determined to ad-
minister a poison which all the cleverest
modern State doctors who have most attentively
studied State disorders, such as ADAM SMITH,
DAVID HUME, M. TURGOT, Mr.' RICARDO,
M'CuLLocn, Mr. MILL, &c. &C, declare to
be
_most deleterious in • its ultithate effects, and
not even soothing of any. Painful symptom. Dr.
PEEL, in spite of all the knowledge and warning
• of all these great physicians, is to administer mo-
nopoly—nothing- but monopoly—one of the
deadliest poisons that ever statesman adminis-
tered. When the find a wretched empiric crying
up his own peculiar nostrum, which all those
who have analyzed it and witnessed its effects
have demonstrated to lie most injurious, what,
can we call him but an obstinate, unnlitig-o.ted
quack' and such a quack is Sir R. PEEL',
Thirdly, Sir R. PEEL knows nothing whatever
of the disease he pretends to pre!cribe for. He
says it is a temporary intermnittant fever, the
result of a little,- cold chill and stoppage of the
caught from America ; when it is
cifeula,tion,
plain that it is a vital disease affecting the
strength of the patient, and gradually wearino-
him out. The poison he propwes to administer,
in -fact,
has been so long prescribed by the Tories
that, he patient is already sinking
under it, and
t .
the bungling quack who is to undertake the cure
is thoroughly ignorant of the symptoms.
Sir ROBERT PEEL, at the best of times, Was a
mere compounder of medicines which others pre..
scribed; and on the faith of that empirical know_
ledge, he is now going to start as .a physician.
He bled and blistered under LIVERPOOL and
CASTLEREAGH, he applied anodynes and soothing
syrups under WELLINGTON, and when he acted
for himself for a short time, he applied the Whig
prescriptions. He never has been a chief prac-
titioner, and the wretched school of quackery he
has been bred in ought to convince every reason-
able man that, in. starting from a compounder.
of other men's prescriptions to prescribing him-
self, and at the same time prescribing the deadly
poison of monopoly, he is an arrogant as well as
an ignorant quack.
What does he,,or what can he know about the
disorders of society? Or what does that mean
Lord, his great coadjutor, know about them, who,
to conceal his own wrong, threw the blame of
dear bread on the miller and the baker? What
can any Tory know of society, who refuses
on principle to consult titself, and will act on the
rules which Tories have acted on time out of
mind? How is it possible from such principles
for any Tory to form. the slightest correct notion
ofthe disorders of society ?:A. more delicate subject,
and more exposed„to-Complicated disorders, than
society is not known; and whoever pretends to
cure its disorders by any nostrum, and particu-
larly such a HOSITIInt as monopoly. is and mn.o I,e

l'rOni India, though of no political or corn-
mercial interest, encourages the indulgence of a
hope that our dispute with China. will not be
much longer suffered to disgrace the British
name at the Celestial Court of Pekin. Sir Gon-
DON BREMER'S activity in procuring reinforce-
ments, is an earnest of the promptitude with
which he will carry into effect the measures
Government has directed against the

rulers and people of the " central flowery land,"
now that he is disencumbered of that political
pendulum, Captain ELLIOT, whose oscillations
between London and Pekin would haveifeen -in
the highest degree ludicrous, had they not in-
volved so deplorable a waste of British treasure,
blood, and honour. How far a different line of
policy, at the commencement of the dispute with.
China, might have contributed to render an
appeal to physical force unnecessary, is a
question the solution of which is now of
little consequence, so far as concerns the
immediate contest. The philosopher might ex-
tract alesson of wisdom from it for the guidance
of future statesmen, but in the present advanced
stage of hostilities it is the future that concerns
us, not the past. Enough that we are now actu-
ally at war with China—enough that we have for
an enemy a barbarian Power, by whom any con- 1
cession on our part would be regarded as:
prompted, not by justice, not by the dictates of
humanity, but by a craven fear, a dastardly dread
—enough that nothing short of the most signal
triumph of British arms in China can secure to
our merchants a respectable footing in the in-
dependent States of Central Asia—enough
that any compromise now would convert
the British name into a laughing-stock, and
provoke insults and injuries, which must '
be resented at ten-fold disadvantage—enough,
we repeat, is any of these considerations, to impress
us with the necessity of following up the blow
already struck with an earnestness, a celerity,
and a force, which shall convince the Celestials
that while something may be hoped from our
clemency, everything is to be feared from our
vengeance. The miserable procrastination of
Captain ELLIOT will only appear a proof of our
signal forbearance, if the hostile measures now
adopted be enforced with spirit, energy, and
promptitude.
But how great soever may be the activity of
the British invading force, several months
must elapse before tidings can reach us of
the restoration of amicable relations with
China. The reinforcements which left India
in May were not expected to reach the Can-
ton river before the middle of July at the
earliest—perhaps not before the close of that
month. It was supposed that Chusan would be
re-occupied; and as the south-western monsoon
which now sets in greatly impedes navigation in
the direction of the Peiho River, much time
must unavoidably be consumed before a British
force can make its appearance in the vicinity of
the Chinese capital. When once there, we have
no doubt that the experience of Admiral EL-
LIOT'S blunder will neither be lost upon Sir
GORDON' BREMER nor Sir HENRY POTTINGER.
They will not be sent with their lingers in their
mouths on a fool's errand back to Canton to
squabble with inferior Mandarins for conces-
sions' which their duty requires them to wrest
from the EMPEROR in person. They know the
worth of Imperial promises too well to trust
them without obtaining such a bond for their
performance as even the sacred brother of the
" Sun and Moon " will not dare to cancel in
their absence. To settle the Chinese question
effectually, we must make the Government and
people of China properly acquainted with the
stuff Joni.' BULL is made of. If we begin again
with negociating we are lost. Our proper course
is to fight first and negociate afterwards. When
we have thrashed the Chinese, it will be quite
time enough to discuss the grounds of quarrel.
We can afford to be as moderate in our demands
then as now ; and when the Celestial Govern-
ment i 3 made to understand that even an at-
tempt to dupe us cannot be made with impunity,
self-interest will demonstrate to it that honesty
is the best policy.
We are unacquainted with the exact footing
upon which our Government wishes to establish
British relations in China. We only know that
they are intended to include a formal recogni-
tion of our national equality; to open a direct
channel of communication between the Repre-
sentative of her MAJESTY in China and the Court
of Pekin ; and fix upon a clear, recognised. basis
the commercial intercourse between British
and Chinese subjects. These objects are all just,
reasonable and praiseworthy, but it is only by
the complete success of the expedition that we
can make sure of obtaining them. The crafty
ingenuity of the Chinese will raise a thousand
objections, Which will soon be removed if the
British Plenipotentiaries refer them to the arbi-
tration of the blue jackets. These are the boys
to settle in a twinkling the Ko Tou controversy,
which cost Lords MACARTNEY and AMHERST SO
much trouble.

Nor ought it for an instant to be forgotteu
that the most complete triumph of British arms
in China is demanded by the precarious tenure
by which British ascendancy is maintained in
the East. Great discontent prevails in various
districts of British India, and several of the
St ttes on our frontier only await the appearance
of any reverse of our good fortune to take the
field against us. The King of AVA wants but a
pr :text to break openly with us ; and in Cabooi
an 1 Affghanistan, we have as many open and
secret enemies as we can wen:manage at present
without seeking to increase them. Let us be
tut victorions in China these hostile
Powers will endeavour to conceal their
designs, and tremble at the very thought of
provoking our wrath. Thus one war reso-
le.tely and successfully carried on, will avert
a Feries of conflicts fatal to our best interests,
and to the progress of civilization throughout
Central Asia.

e refer with pleasure to an advertisement of
the Metropolitan Anti-Corn-law Association, in
another part of The Sun, announcing that the
Association is prepared to send lecturers to any
part of the United Kingdom on the payment of
the lecturer's travelling expenses. This is a
good move, for the ignorance of the people in
many places is most deplorable, and nothing will
so soon enlighten them, except some dire misfor-
tune, as discussion. If the Budget, bubble
though it be erroneously named by the Tories,
have done nothing else, it has kindled a . spirit
of inquiry into the Corn-laws which will not be
satisfied without a thorough and complete inves-
tigation. The effOrts of the 'Association will pro-
mote this useful end.

The Quoridienne pronounces the fetes of July
a failure. It would be strange indeed to find one
of the leading Carlist organs satisfied with them.
It cannot be denied, however, that there is much

truth in the following picture of the existing
state of things in France :

The parasites of the present system flatter themselves
with having put anarchy in chains and what have they
done with order ? Where is it ? Is it in the celebration
of that anniversary which fills the vanquished with ter-

ror, and which is repudiated by the victors ? Yes, withott
doubt, there is an order which puts on foot a whole le-
gion of gendarmes, which sends into the streets and
public squares swarms of sertens-de-ville, which
surrounds Paris with 60,000 men until it can be
enclosed between fourteen ,bastilles, which orders
the soldiers of the garrison to remain in their
barracks, with their knapsacks on their backs, as upon
the eve of a battle, and which displays in the midst of
the population all the preparation- of police and war.
This is purely physical order, whose only principle is
force. It may keep down action, but it cannot command
the mind.

From the present state of the receusement, it may
be predicted that the result will be above 400,000 houses,
which have hitherto escaped the tax.—Le Temps.
Yesterday, in the same street, the residence of M.
Rothschild was illuminated with a festoon of lamps ;
close to it the hotel of M. Laffitte was in darkness.
There is an, entire history in the comparison.—Gazette de
France.
We have received the following letter from Oran,
dated the 18th inst. We have received accounts
from our expeditionary columns, which are still occu-
pied with forming amidst the rich harvests 'of the large
tribes. The damage sustained by the Arabs in this
campaign is enormous for them, and in the memory of
man the country had never suffered so much from the
war. Their loss in barley alone is estimated at 300,000
boudjous of if. BGc. each. The column of General do
Lamoriciere is to return soon. It has had to sustain
several rather serious engagements. Our troops are
much fatigued, and the heat is almost intolerable. Prompt
measures must be taken to secure the comforts of
the soldiers during this forced rest; for the transition from
so active a life to absolute rest is always attended, par-
ticulary in this country, with serious diseases. The
Arabs have appeared in great numbers near Mostagaren
and Arzew, and have attempted to carry off the flocks
of the Government, after having failed in their attempts
upon our out-posts. The intentions of the Governor- Gene-
ral have pretty well transpired, and our divisions are
not to begin their campaign for the province of Tlemcen,
before the end of September or the beginning of October.
The chiefs have attempted to renew negotiations with
the Marabout Tedgein, and wished, as during last winter,
to proclaim him Sultan ; but this chief, intimidated by
the menaces of Adel liader, and by the remembrance of
the seige which he caused the town to sustain. in 1838,
would not accept these propositions, and has left among
the regular troops of the Emir, the 400 infantry whom
he sent to him in April.—Lc Constitutionncl.
The Commerce says :—" There was yesterday a
marked rise in the prices of. *the stocks. This was ex-
plained by an asserted resolution taken by M. Hurnann,
to meet the Chambers without making use of the power
with which he is invested of raising a loan. It was
added that, in order to prove he was not in want of
money, the Minister of Finances had announced his in-
tention of reducing the interest on Treasury Bills from
4to 33- per cent. Other persons accounted for the rise
by the perfect quietness with which the anniversary of
the fetes of July has been celebrated.
The German Journal of Frankfort gives the follow-
ing from Vienna:—" It was stated some time ago that
Don Carlos had obtained passports from M. Guizot, and
tbat.after a short sojourn in Italy he would go to Sals-
burg, to fix his residence there. The Prince was to
come here and present himself at Court. It is now said
that the French Government has raised new difficulties,
and demands either the abdication of the Prince, or the
recognition of Queen Isabella by the powers of the
North."

As the diligence of Laffittc, Caillard, and Co., was,
the night before last, arriving in Paris from Betncon, it
got the wheels on one side upon a mound of earth, near the
foot pavement, on the Quai de la Tournelle, above the Pont
de la l'Archeveche, which had been left without any lamps,
and it was upset with such force that seven persons were
dangerously injured, three of whom, the conductor, a
father, and his child, still lie in almost a hopeless state.
An officer of the Octroi, who got upon the coach at the
Barrier, had his thigh broken.

The Univers states that the Pope has conferred on
the Hon. James Talbot, second son of the Baroness Talbot
de Malahide, and on his descendants male the dignity of
Count of the Sacred Palace of the Lateran.

The manufactories of Beaucaire are represented by
the Courrieradu Gard to be in a very flourishing state.
The silk ancrcotton works, and indeed all articles of the
department, are in great request, and at good prices,
and there is every appearance of an increased demand
for the winter. The cloths, linens, and other manufac-
tures of Rheims and St. Quentin are also in the same
promising condition.
The King of Bavaria has issued a decree, that in
all prisons and houses of correction Roman Catholic pri-
soners shall be kept perfectly separated from Protes-
tants ; and Catholics, condemned to hard labour in for-
tresses, shall be sent to those of Marienberg, Ober-
haus, and Rossenberg, while Protestants are to go to
Wurtzburg.
A fire took place on Thursday morning at the
house of a manufacturer of chemical matches, on the
Boulevard Longchamp, from the explosion of the fulmi-
nating powder, employed in making the matches. The
fire was soon got under, but all the windows of the ma-
nufactory were broken by the explosion, and the owner
of it wasmuch burnt in the face, hands, and arms.

This King, upon the recommendation of the Minis-
ter of Public Instruction, has issued a Royal Ordon-
nance, creating for the College de France, professorships
for the languages and literature of Germanic origin, and
also for those of Southern Europe. Other Ordonnances
appoint 1)r. Philarete Chasles, of the Faculty of Paris,
to the first of the above chairs, and Dr, Edgard Quinet,
Professor of Foreign Literature at Lyons, to the second.
