LONDON:
THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1841.

Some of our Contemporaries seem strongly
oblivious of facts. Ministers are accused by the
Tory Journals of not having brought forward at
an earlier period their measures of free trade, and
of having done nothing to meet the deficiencies
in the revenue.

To reply to the last statement first : we must
remind the public that Ministers, no longer ago
than 1840, proposed an additional per centage
on all Customs and Excise duties, and all Assessed
Taxes, calculated to yield upwards of 2,000,000/.
Their measure had the complete approbation of
the Tories ; and had it realised expectations,
there would have been no deficiency in the re-
venue. It did not realise expectations; on the
contrary, the revenue fell off, and hence the
necessity this year of trying free trade measures.
But, till the present year, that unfortunate con-
dition and resources of the country could not
possibly be known, and could form no ground
for introducing a measure into Parliament.
Why were not the free trade measures tried
sooner? When, till the revenue became deficient,
let us ask in return, did any person find out
the utility of such measures ; or when, till that
deficiency came to light, would those measures
have been for one moment tolerated ? The Corn-
law, which was passed in 1828, was not severely
felt during the fertile seasons of 1831 to 1830,
and it was only with the year 1838, when prices
had risen very high, that a general de-
mand for the repeal of the Corn-law arose. Till
1838 or 1839, there was no ground on which
any ministry, knowing the sentiments of the
landlords, could dare to propose a modification
of the Act of 1828 ; and any Ministry would
have brought instant ruin on itself by making
the proposition. The same may be said of sugar,
which only reached at excessive price in 1840.
Until the present year, when the revenue, in
spite of the increased taxation, first began to fall
off, there was no pretext for practical states-
men adopting the deductions of science and abo-
lishing the Act of 1828. The two charges of
taking no measures to meet the deficiency, and
of having delayed to bring forward free trade,
which the Tories now brine, against the Minis-
ters, are wholly unfounded and false, like the
majority of the assertions of the Tories.

A most astounding discovery has just been
made, which must at once put an end to all
alarm and apprehension for the future fate of the
country. It has within itself the means of safety,
susceptible, by the piety of our statesmen and
the contributions of the people, of indefinite ex-
tension. Compared to this wonderful machine,
our armies and navies are impotent to defend,
and.our commerce to enrich us. Even our agri-
culture, the delight of the Tories, is worthless to
this sublime invention, of which nothing is so ex-
traordinary as the blindness of our people to its
prodigious merits. We, however, want words to
describe them, and, therefore, we must borrow
the language of the Standard :
Where lies the strength of England ! In her fleets,
her armies, her wealth, her fortresses and palaces ?
all these would be the prey of the enemy, but for one
shrine of transcendant power. The strength of England
lies in her morality and her religion—her parish churches
are her real bulwarks, worth thousands of even her fleets
and armies. And where lies the strength of the Conserva-
tive party in England ? In clubs, and cameras, and lit-
, tle cabals ? These are drawbacks, aye, and fearful
drawbacks, too, upon the strength of the Conservative
etrty.
_The Church of England it is, and the Church of
raigiand only, which has righted the country.
or a similar description is the language of the
- Dublin University Magazine, which has kindled
the
little e hy frreenin: our Contemporary. Here is a
ol
pee-
Alva uoxv, reader, what is the instrument by which

The Tories are great idolators, and the pre-
sent object of their worship is PEEL. Eleven
years ago he gave them not the cruel domina-
tion they prayed for, and they threw him down
and spat on him, and turned him out of their
Oxford temple, just as the black idolators of
Africa maul their fetiche blocks when their
enemies defeat them, or the harvest is blighted.
In truth, there is a much closer resemblance
between the man worship of the Tories
and the stock worship of the heathen, than is at
first sight apparent, and both will be sure, in
the end, to suffer from their superstition, and to
quarrel with their idols. We see, in an excep-
tion to the rule we have just adverted to, the
certain commencement of disappointment and
desecration. The Times is a sort of free thinker
amongst the Tories ; it begins to flout their
idolatry, and proposes to substitute for it the
Whig creed. It said, yesterday—
The fluctuations of price and supply, the vicissitudes
of seasons, the state of the producing countries, and our
moral, social, and political relations with them, the re-
venue laws and commercial systems of foreign States, the
prospects of peace and war, the state of credit and cur-
rency at home and abroad, the exigencies of the Ex-
chequer—these are all circumstances which must be
taken into account in settling the time, the manner, the
direction, and the degree, in which those commercial
maxims on which all parties are agreed, and which were
first acted upon under the Tory Governments before
1830, are to be practically applied. To facilitate the
operations of trade, and to provide for the necessities of
the public service in the manner least burdensome to the
community,. are objects which recommend themselves so
plainly to the ordinary sense of mankind, that no Minis-
ter, however stupid, could avoid appreciating them, or,
however dishonest, could have any motive fur disregard-
ing them. There can never be any fundamental differ-
ence between Whigs and Conservatives upon points like
these ; and it is idle for either party to seek to invent
one. A stationary policy is impossible ; and even if it
were possible, it would be not conservative, but destruc-
tive. Advance, we must ; the only question is, in what
direction ? and when means, not ends, the physical and
not the moral department of politics, are under discus-
sion, all must agree to answer—in the direction of the
greatest practicable utility.
All this is what the Whigs say, and the Times
can find no language better suited to its own
views than that Which has been employed by the
Whig Ministers. Their whole budget was
founded on the principle of providing for the
" necessities of the public service in the manner
the least burdensome to the community." The
Tories never attempted to show that such would not
be the result, they kicked out the budget because
as they said it would impede the success of our
project for abolishing slavery; and they after-
wards censure the Ministers, and mean to kick
them out, because they were unable to carry
their budget. The Tories might, perhaps, have
proved, but they did not, that the necessities of
the State could be still better provided for by a
further reduction of the duties on sugar and tim-
ber, and by the abolition of the Corn-laws, than
by the budget of the Ministers ; and they kicked
out that budget, because it was an approximation
to a principle which the Times now implies all
politicians must act on.
•

The passage in our Contemporiry is very re-
markable on several accounts. It is not written
in a party spirit ; it is, therefore, a genuine ho-
mage to truth. it is a great honour conferred
on the Ministers. It admits, as they assert, the
impossibility of a statioll'ary policy. The Times
asserts that Sir ROBERT PRZCS must be a Re-
forming Government, and it mu..7t facilitate the
operations of trade. The Times is alre.vlY a con-
vert to the Whig creed, and attacks the iNatrY
of its co-tori es.

We do not notice this matter with any refer-
ence to the character of the Times, which cannot
be damaged by its conduct, whatever that may
be, but to set the tactics ofits party fairly before
the public. The Tories, urged on by the Times,
have made a furious attack on Ministers for walk-
ing by those principles which that Journal now
says, because they are consistent with reason and
justice, must guide the Tories. At the same time
that Journal condemns the Whigs for "recently
endeavouring to draw subjects relating to trade
and commerce into the category of party
questions." The Times and the Tories have
actually made party questions of such subjects,
have defeated the Ministers on them, and now,
adopting the principles of the Ministers, plainly
Prove that they opposed them six weeks ago on li

the pure Tories, the holy Church-loving Tories, all
things are pure, and they may turn out the
Whigs on a question of trade or commerce which
the Whigs must never make a party matter of.

Church-loving Whigs must

Such, too, are the despicable arts by which ho-
nest and intelligent electors have been led by
the Times to give a verdict against providing for
the "necessities of the public service in the
manner the least burdensome to the community."
There is another part of our Contemporary's
leader deserving of notice, because it carries with
it a forcible condemnation of the policy of his
party. " Our institutions," it says, " have bound
together the different classes of British society
by a thousand links of mutual duties, mutual
good offices, and mutual affection, which cannot
be paralleled in the past history or present con-
dition of any other nation." In the main that
is true, and in those institutions there must be
some principle of honesty and of generous li-
berty to work such effects. No Englishman will
deny the great merit of these institutions, at
least in times past; but no reasonable person will
say that the Corn-law of 1815, or the Corn-law
of 18:28, was one of them. It is a thing of yes-
terday, and is, both in its moral nature, as in-
fringing on the property of the subject, and as an
encroachment on liberty of trade, a gross viola-
tion of the principles which linked the different
classes-of society together by mutual affection
and good offices. That law sets class against

aware of all the healing powers of the noble con-

fingers at picturers of commercial distress and
dying artisans, conscious that the facts could not
be, as stated, with this blessed means of national
salvation in full working condition. As it con-
fers such inestimable benefits on society, Messrs.
Thortoooon and BAINES, with all their friends
and supporters, are ignoble men to repine at
being made martyrs for the welfare of the whole
human race. The Catholics, too, as well as the
grumblers at Church-rates, must at once confess
the sin of their antipathy, and ask pardon for
their unpatriotic conduct towards this most use-
ful of all possible inventions. We have no
doubt of the sincerity of those who thuS eulOgise
the Church, and we fully accord with the 'Stan-
dard, which we trust will be always remem-
bered by the bulk of our population hungering
for food, that the Church of England has been
the main instrument for securing to the country
a monopolist House of Commons, determined to
maintain the starvation laws.

Sir ROBERT PEEL at Tamworth has replied to
Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S address to his constituents,
and his speech appears in another part of The
Sun. Sir ROBERT is resolute in refusing to tell
the public what they are anxious to know. He
employs half a column to refute the tittle-tattle
of the Globe, as if his great mind had been
sorely wounded by it, but he declines telling the
people what he will do in office. He calculates se-
curely on being called to the administration of af-
fairs, but he obstinately refuses to inform us how
he will administer them. He shelters himself un-
der a metaphor, and declares that it will
be time enough for him to prescribe
when he is regularly called in. It would
be, he says, the part of a quack-doctor, not
of a professional man, 'to conclude without being
consulted by the patient—that he had a valuable
nostrum which would be a perfect remedy for
the disorder. How admirably the political quack
describes himself. He boasts of possessing
a quack nostrum—Toryism, which he insists
1 on administering to the patient, and swears loudly
by all the saints in the Calendar that no other
medicine can possibly cure him. Nay, with a
great deal more impudence than most quacks,
he has persisted in continually adminis-
tering his nostrum after its inefficacy has
been repeatedly proved ; and has prevented the
regular practitioner from curing his patient by
the fbrced admission of his own deleterious drug.
Quack, indeed ! Of all the patient-killing
quacks that ever infested the country, your
Tory quack has the most lives to answer for.
Sir ROBERT mistakes the state of the ques-
tion; and fancies he is called upon to satisfy his
opponents, when he is really asked to inform
the confiding public. If Lord JOHN RUSSELL
or the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER have no
right tolp,oulmieps,hiwnoluflodr anßotudaglelot,wthtehpeubmTlichihgasvet.o
He has broken up the Ministry that proposed to
supply the wants of the Treasury by extending
trade; and it will be very like Dr. EADY, his
worthy prototype, to demand that the other
doctor shall be turned away, and that the patient
shall be trusted exclusively to his care, while he
stedfastly refuses to state how he will act.
There is the greater necessity for this, because
Sir ROBERT PEEL implied that the Ministers'
measures, which Sir ROBERT defeated, are
plausible and popular measures. The cries of
cheap bread and cheap sugar he describes
as acceptable to the people. They did not con-
demn, lie said, the mere policy of Ministers; it was
not the question relating to corn, no, it was that
the people had no longer confidence in the Whigs.
If the people- do not disapprove of the Whig
policy, is Sir H. PEEL prepared, as he has done
before, to adopt their measures ? The best part
of his reputation rests on the wisdom he filched
from his foes. He may again imitate his own
conduct in 1826 and in 1829, as the safesvway of '
disarming an opposition that will speedily crush
him; but he shall not repeat his treacherous and
mean conduct without being thoroughly exposed.
The readers of The Sun will agree with Sir
R. PEEL that the elections have gone so much
against the Ministers, not because the people
dislike their Budget policy, but because the
Whigs have lost the confidence of the
people. We will not now inquire into the
causes of this loss, but the fact is confirmed by the
concurring testimony of all parties. The Whig
measures; according to Sir ROBERT, were popular;
but the people, urged by the misrepresentations
of the
carry them into effect. Sir R. PEEL will pro•
bably take office, solemn quack as he is, to ad-
minister the medicine he finds already prescribed
for the patient,
Sir ROBERT promises to answer Lord J. Rug-
SELL'S address, but, except as he shows that the
Whigs were defeated in the several towns as
well as in the counties, he forgets his pledge. Hasty
as has been our notice of Sir ROBERT'S speech
we shall probably not recur to it; it is too slight
and contemptible to provoke remarks.

There is no political news of importance in the
French Journals of Tuesday, except what ap-
appeared in the Afternoon Edition of yesterday's
Sun. The Moniteur publishes the usual pro-
gramme of the fetes of July, which includes
the distribution of alms to the poor of Paris,
the celebration of funeral services in the churches,
the erection of May-poles, with pantomimes,
dances, theatrical performances, fireworks, and
illuminations. The troops were to be confined
to their barracks, fully equipped, and ready to
attack the enemies of public order at a moment's
notice.

From the south of France we have favourable
accounts of the state of the crops, notwithstand-
ing the late heavy rains.
The Emancipator of Toulouse of the 24th says,
this morning there has been a review of all the troops
of the garrison by Lieutenant-General Bulhieres. who
has been appointed to the command of the 10th division,
in the room of Lieutenant- General St. Michel. The in-
spection was made in the following order :—The Vin-
ciennes riflemen, the sth, 25th, 37th, 38th, and 47th re-
giments of the line, stationed at Madron ; the Bth and
9th of Artillery, with all the batteries mounted. Another
grand review is announced for Thursday next, the 29th
of July. The National Guard will, it is said, be called
to .jake part in it.

the sympathy and confidence with ,:•hich the conduct of

"M. Germain P—," says the Droit, "a widower
with an only son two years old, being deeply in debt,
retired to an obscure quarter of Paris, to avoid arrest,
and ther,e lived in the utmost penury. Two days ago
he was met on the Quai de Billy by one of his creditors,
who reproached him in harsh terms, threatening to send
an officer immediately after him. I. P. pleaded his
utter destitution, and his being burthened with the main-
tenance of his child, then in his arms. The creditor re-
plied, that the State took charge of all orphans. Cut to
the heart, M. P. placed the infant in the arms of his re-
proacher, saying—' Then do you take him to the hos-
pice and rushing to the water's edge, plunged into the
river. Though irritated, the creditor was not obdurate
—he immediately called for assistance, and his unhappy
debtor was S'aved from death. Affected by his distress,
the creditor at once relinquished all his claims, promised
to induce the rest of the poor man's creditors to do the
same, and declared he would afford him means to re-esta-
blish his fallen fortunes."
The Toulonnais, in a letter from its correspondent
at Algiers, gives the following account of a conversation
showing the view which the Arabs take of the security
enjoyed by the French in that place :—"The Bey of
Milianah received a young Frenchman in his tent
.a short
time since, and appeared to be much amused with his
discourse, and pretended to take a warm interest in his
welfare. Lend your ear to me for a while,' said the
Bey. I advise you on your return to Algiers not to go
any distance into the country, for you will most assu-
redly be made captive, and perhaps be decapitated.' 'But
I shall only go to Dely Ibrahim.' "Chat would be a
great deal too far ; you will run the utmost risk.' Well,
I will go no further than Fort Emperor.' Even that
will be dangerous ; I will not guarantee your safety.'
Well then, I won't go beyond the Place du Gouverne-
ment in the middle town.' Upon this the Bey took time
for reflection and then replied—' Yes, you may walk
there without danger, but you shall be watched by a
biskris, one of our spies.' "
Adviues from Djigelly, between Algiers and Bona,
represent the state of the garrison as very unhealthy,
200 men out of 893 being laid up in the hospital.
A Constantinople correspondent of the Sud says
that Mr. Anderson, Inspector of the Oriental Company's
steamers, Dr. Davy, and an English mineralogist, have
been allowed by the Turkish Government to go and in-
spect the coal mines lately discovered on the shores of
the Black Sea. Every facility was given for this pur-
pose, and guards hid been sent with the party, which
had not returned on the 7th inst.
Extract of a letter from Alexandria, 6th inst., in
the Semaphore of Marseilles :—" Twelve superior naval
officers.have accompanied
Said Bey and gamy Bey to
Constantinople. The Porte is said to be disposed to
return to the most -friendly intercourse with the Pacha.
On this the Divan is believed to be unanimous, and in-

deed we have proof in an order sent to Mehemet Ali to
march troops into the Hedhz, to put down disturbances
which have existed for a lo'ig • time. The Porte, not in-
tending that thePacha sheald be burdened with the ex-
penses of this expedition, ht: desired him to furnish an
account of them, and the amount will be allowed out of
the tribute. The plague les entirely left us. European

In fact he employs most of his time in agriculture, and
has lately purchased several villages, in order to carry on
farming on a great scale."
The Semaphore of Marseilles has the subjoined
from Bevrout, 23d ult. :—" OtiXount Carmel is a fine
French 'Convent, built under the direction of the cele-
brated monk Jean Baptiste. Within it is a grotto, also
formed by him, in which, when the army under Bona-
parte was in that country, in 1798, were deposited the
bodies of such of its men as died in the convent, then
converted into an hospital. The present monks, having
lately collected the bones of these brave men, carried
them in solemn
.procession to a monument erected in
front of the principal entrance for their final reception.
This ceremony was performed by Brother Jean Baptiste
himself, assisted by another monk, in the presence of
Captain Cavalier, of the French brig L'Orient, and M.
Sauvaire, a gentleman of the same nation, long resident
in the country, who represented the French Consul, kept
away by official engagements."
A correspondent at Naples writes on the 18th inst.
to the Semaphore:—" The King has given up his' pro-
posed visit to Palermo, being deterred, it is believed, by
the extreme heat of the weather. His Majesty remains
at Castellamare, with the Royal Family. A fortnight
ago a carriage, with six horses, containing a family of
five persons and two femme's de chambre, was stopped
about half-past eight in the morning by three robbers,
who occupied themselves for a whole hour in plundering
the baggage. This was between Sessa and Capua, a part
of the road generally considered as particularly sate, and
the surprise excited by the audacious attack has conse-
quently been the greater. Two of the men have been
discovered and arrested, and the officers of justice are said
to be on the track of the third. A part of the property
stolen has been ,covered. Another attempt at robbery,
though of a different nature;. is altiz a:subject of conver-
sation. A few days ago, two well-dressed young men,
during the heat of the day, when scarcely any one was
about, entered the shop of a chemist, at the end of the
Chiaja, near the Pie-di-Grotta, and demanded all the
money he had. On his refusal to submit to this robbery,
they beat hint cruelly with their sticks. His cries, how-
ever, reached the Swiss guard, and eight of them came
in time to save his life, end arrest the audacious assail-
ants."

-- A letter from Gueret (Creuze), in the Constitution-
nel, states that an English officer, named Capper, who
had resided there fin' several years, shot himself on the
22d instant. The suicide is attributed to long physical
suffering.

PROPER* AND THE ToutEs.—The Tories begin to
fear the consequences of their seizure of the Govern-
ment. They know that their example of forming a Go•
vernment on the principle of plundering the people will
and must find imitators ; and to throw at once the blame
on others they begin to cry out jacobinism, and the vio-
lation of property. (See the Morning Post of yesterday.)
We have told the plunderers by law months, and even
years ago, that they were bringing all property into dan-
ger, and now the fools are beginning to cry at their own
folly. It is, however, rather late. What is past cannot
be recalled, and the men who used the law to swell
their rent-rolls have destroyed the authority of the law,
