of the Corn-laws will not be so formidable as we
should wish it to be.

Still there will be no quietness under our present
institutions, but much agitation. It has been said,
but not, we suppose, believed, that Chartism is ex-
tinct. That is impossible. It will never
die till it has effected some great change.

It may assume another name, it may take another
form, but its principles are laid in human nature and
cannot be eradicated. No human power can recon-

law. Every step they make in knowledge, every
revelation which comes to them of their own condi-

non, of their own power, and their indispensable
services, must indispose them more and more to
live oppressed outcasts from our political system.
It is plain, by what recently occurred at Birming-
ham, that they will not be fooled by other men,
whatever tricks their own passions may play them.
At Birmingham they carried by a great majority a
resolution declaring that they would not trouble
themselves about foreign matters, but would devote
their energies to improve their own political con-
dition. To some persons that should sound
ominous. The lark and her cheerful
brood rested quietly amidst the farmer's corn
as long as he looked for the help of neighbours and
friends to reap it, but when he took the sickle into
his own hand, and called his sons to begin their
work, she knew it was time to depart. We shall
have agitation, deep and wide-spread agitation, not
to pull down the Corn .laws nor set up the Church—
not to turn out the Whigs and put in the
Tories, but agitation to raise and better the condi-
tion of the industrious classes, by securing to them
a share in the power of making laws equal to their
numbers.

We yesterday alluded to the very numerous and
powerful classes who supported Toryism, but could
not save it from falling under the ban of the nation.

It had with it also, iet us now add, nearly all the
squires and all the parsons ; moreover, it had nearly
all the wits on its side. Couriers and Posts daily
abounded in smart epigrams on unwashed Radicals
and eighteen-penny dinners. The satire on the
greasy mob was bitter and pungent. Every kind of
political enthusiasm afforded the Tory poetasters a
theme for ridicule; and, from CANNING to PRAED,
every Tory rhymester directed the earliest efforts of
his muse against those who endeavoured to protect
themselves against the faction which plundered
the people in the sacred name of the country.
Every hungry student from Dublin, or every young
parson from Oxford, who preferred poetry to theo-
logy, offered his pen to the Tories to satirize the
Radicals, and was employed at a high price. All
these helps—all the power of the priesthood and the
squirearchy, all the persiflage of all the hired and
bribed witlings of the hour, could not save
Toryism from decay and from contempt.
The thing has actually died out.
have yet some Tories, but they hide them-
selves under the new name of Conserva-
tives, and Toryism is extinct. The hot,
recreant Whig STANLEY, and cautious, slippery
PEEL have glided into Conservatism. They have
consented to abolish the Irish Corporations—the
fastnesses of insulting and tyrannical Toryism in
Ireland—and they have agreed to unite the Canadas,
giving up the divide-and-rule system established by
the Tories. They have agreed to something like a
Reform of the Church, however inadequate, and
have declared by the mouth of the Duke of WEL-
LINGTON that the old, lumbering, wheezing Cprpo-
ration must live, like bears, on its own fat, and must
not look to be further pampered by the State. The

necessities of the Tories have, in fact, forced them,

like ocher paupers suing for the alms of public sup-
port, to give up their high-bred Toryism, and ap-
proximate towards reason and the Whigs.
From such a change it is plain that there is
something in truth and honesty stronger than the
whole combined power of the parsons, the squires,
the would-be aristocracy of the middle classes, and
the witlings. With a sincere and honest purpose,
these are powerful auxiliaries, but they cannot
make a dishonest and insincere purpose tri-
umphant. On the contrary, when injured men
are made sport of, their sense of injustice be-
comes sharpened by indignation, and they never
rest till they have overthrown those who find
food for merriment in the misery they cause. When
religion, too, is prostituted to inflict or gloze over
a political wrong, the hopes of future and of pre-
sent happiness are crushed at a blow, and men
fancy it is a duty to GOD and themselves to root
out the injurious system. A corrupted literature
and a corrupted priesthood, with all their power,
cannot save a party from destruction which does
not follow sound and honest principles, and ruin
will fall on every party which relies on them. A
Government is the weightiest and most important
of all human devices and undertakings, or it is a
mere engine of mi,chief, and it cannot be success-
fully defended by the same arms as a pageant or a
ball.

LONDON:
FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1840.

Now that the Parliament is prorogued it may be
expected that the people will begin to ag;tate. To
expect repose under our present institutions is
hopeless. The authors of the Reform Act always

spoke of it as a means to an end, in which the
Uhra-Radicals and Chartists agree with them ;

though both parties contemplate somewhat
different ends, and each would work the
Reform Act to obtain different objects. The Tories

acknowledge the same fact, and endeavour to mis-

direct the movement they cannot stop. Some per-

sons demand more Church, some less—some more

Courts, some a narrower limitation of the judicial
power—some require extension of the suffrage,

others to curtail that which has been granted. The

aristocracy thick the democracy have gained too

much ; the democracy assert that they must have a

great deal more. No patty, no class, and no con-
dition is contented with Gu r institutions as they now

exist, and it is therefore impossible that the country
should be free from political agitation.

After the close of last Session the Tories and the
bigots combined commenced a furious agitation,
and appealed to the people to stand by Protestant-

sm and the Peerage. Their gain was so small,

the divisions amongst their own parties which en-

sued were so great—the enthusiasm of the bigots

The Madrid Journals received are of the sth

Although this declaration of independence of the Ministry
as to the opinions expressed by the Constitutionnel may be
regretted, when the objeet is to disavow, on the part of the
Cabinet, language which had given intense satisfaction to
all the friends of the alliance between the two nations, and
which had contributed in no slight degree to tranquillise
the public mind, to restore confidence in the funds, and to
give stabilit3 to commerce, thus really showing how little
a rupture is desired by influential parties in France; yet,
taking the declaration of the Constitutionnel to be sincere,
it establishes a highly important fact.—viz., that the non-
official Journals. which are supposed to express the opinions
of the Cabinet, are really not i's organs. This fact once
established, the violent language of some of these Journals,
which was attributed to the Cabinet, and which, therefore,
produced alarm in the public mind as to the state of the
relations with England, must be set down at its real value

We find no other news of any moment in Wed-

advices from Alexandria, stating that MEll EmET
A LI would not give up the fleet, in consequence of
instructions received from France. We can place
reliance upon none of these reports. Those of one
day are sure to be contradicted the next. The
present is the very reverse of the one which pre-
ceded it by twenty-four hours.
Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON arrived on Tuesday
night in Paris. He is confined in the prison of
the Concierger ie.
" A report was spread yesterday afternoon," says
the Commerce of Wednesday, " that the Govern-
ment had just received notice of a revolution at
Constantinople for dethroning the SULTAN, and
placing his younger brother on the throne. The
revolution was said to be the work of the old
Turkish party, headed by KHOSREW PASHA.
Nothing on the subject appeared, however, in the
Evening Journals. If the reports are true, it is to
be regretted that they were only communicated to
some privileged persons, and that they should have
coincided with a fall in the funds. M. TurEas
ought to avoid more than anybody having his name
and those of his friends mixed up with stock-
jobbing." The closing remark is not uncalled for,
inasmuch as, during the last Administration of M.
THiEits, the funds were daily affected by rumours
which were said to influence the fortunes of some
members of his Government.
Accounts from Wilna, dated the 15th of July, contain
the details of several decrees for punishing numerous Poles
implicated in the insurrection of 1831, or in subsequent
political movements. A letter from Vienna. dated the 31st
ult., mentions that a secret society, coraposed of young men
mostly from the
covered. The parties, however, pretended that they were
province of Gatlicia, had just been dis-
merely associated to cultivate and extend the Slavonic lan-
guage, but their real object was political. Amongst those
arrested are two Austrian functionaries.
Malta letters of the sth inst., and our Alexandra
correspondence of the 27th ult., three days later than
the advices by the Indian mail, reached Paris on Wed-
nesday. The Bombay mail, of the Ist of June, by the
Suez route, had not yet arrived at Malta. All was
quiet at Beyrout. Admiral Kosamel, with the French
squadron from Tunis; had arrived in the Levant.
The Papin, French steamer, touched at Malta on the
3d, with despatches from Alexandria to the French Go-
vernment. All its ships of war had arrived at. Malta,
from Naples. The British squadron in the East is now
increased to nine ships of war, three frigates, five sloops,
three brigs, one cutter, and five steamers—a total of
twenty-six pendants.

A report was in cireulation that the Childe Harold,
Captain Willis, from London to 3ombay, had been burnt
at sea This, however, proves to be incorrect. The cause
which gay, rise to thii was the fi,ding of a bottle, con-
taining a slip of river in it, which instead of reporting
any damage to the vessel, states that all was well, and is
dated April 23. This must have been thrown overboard
on the last homeward-bound voyage of this vessel, as she

THE HAGUE, AUG. 10...—The Second Chamber of the
States General discussed to-day, in a secret sitting, the
address in reply to his Majesty's Speech from the Throne,
which was agreed to by a
wished to insert a paragraph in the address, declaring that
more .Iterations in the fundamental law than those pro-
posed wire necessary, and that the Second Chamber had
a right to endeavour to obtain them.
The Address was senttno"jthoery Hirst

The Handelsblad observes :—" This, however, by no
means shows that only seventeen members entertain this
opinion, but that some who participate in them did not
see the necessity of introducing the subject in the ad-
dress."

Private letters received this morning from Paris are of
a warlike tendency. Both the English and French are
assembling their naval forces from all parts of the Me-
diterranean, for the coast of Egypt, where the English
fleet has already arrived, to the number of twenty-six ships
of war ; therefore in a few days we may expect to hear from
that quarter news of the greatest importance.
