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 ROBERT 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, he assures us that he knows 4
viziy Lulu 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 Sit' itonEnT, with a most ora-
cular shake of the head, " I will not state 5 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;
DAVAT,I) HUME, M. TURGOT, Mr. RICARDO,

M'CuLLocn, Mr. MILL, &C. &c., declare to
.I__l7!bi..i most deleterious in its ultimate effects, and
not even soothing of any painful symptom. Dr.
PEEL, in spite of all the knoitledge and warning
of all these great physicians, is to administer mo-
nopoly—nothing but monopoly—one of the ,
dep,filiest -polsonS that ever - statesman adminis-
teied.,_ When we find awretclied'ertipiric crying
up his own peculiar nostrum,'which all those
who haVe analyzed it and -witnessed its effects
have demonstrated to be most injurious„.what
can we call him but an obstinate, unmitigated
quaCk? and such.a quack is Sir It. PEEL.
Thirdly; Sir R'PEEL knows nothing whatever
of the disease h 9 pretends to prescribe for. He'
says' it is' a temporary intermittent fever; 1
result of a little cold chill and stoppage. .of
circulation; Caught from America ;-v when it' is
plain that itis a vital disease affecting the
strength of tle patient, and gradually wearing
him. out. The poison he proposes' to administer,
m fact, has been so long,iirescribed by the Tories.,
that' the patient is already sinking under it, and-
the bungling quackwhois to undertake the cure
is th4rouglily :.gnorant, of the symptoms.
SirollOnEwr PEET.ii at the best of times, was a
mere' compounder of'medicines which others pre-
; 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
CAsfait.E.t.uu, he applied anodynes and soothing
syrups under WELLINGTON, and whenhe 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 141.111-
self, and at rile same tithe prescribing the-deadly
poison of monopoly,. he.is an
_arrogant, as well as
an ignorant quack. • • •
What'clOes he, 'or what catt'l 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
tear bread on the miller and the 'balker What
"cad any Tory know of Society,., who refuses
on principle to consult itself; aintwill 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
of the 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 particti
larly such a.nostruru as,inyopoly; is and must be'
•
an errant quack.

The news brought ,Yr the Overland Mail
from India, though political or
coin-
mercial interest, eileom'ages the indulgence of a
hope that our dispiite with China will not be
much longer suffered to disgrace the British
name at the Celestial Court of Pekin-. Sir GOR-
DON BREMER'S activity in procuring reinforce-
ments, is an,earnest of the promptitude with
which he will carry into effect the measures
whieli our GOvermaielit kas directed against the
