WAR POLICY.

The conductors of the Morning Chronicle have..,ll_'
last, discovered that a respectable portion of the lAD';
rals of this country are opposed to our barbarous ae
bloody policy in Syria. They are. But we
re-
turn the compliment. For, with the exception of
is
Ministers themselves and their immediate followers
01.
Parliament, no respectable portion of the Liberals of
this country approve of the meddling and uncalled !
line of action which has been adopted in that quarter.
The respectable Libel als of this country are for Peac!
if possible, with all the world, but especially they are,.
for peace vt ith France. The respectable Liberal,
.0:
this country utterly cannot .
abhor that meddling spirit to
affairs of other people which Lord Palmerston has le"
The re-
herited from his Tory predecessors in office.
spectable Liberals of this country are opposed to all en;
necessary warfare on moral and religious grounds, ana.
shudder at the very thought of the hecatombs ot
victims whom Lord Palmerston 's bloody PelitcY
has offered upon the altars of Moloch on tut
Syrian coasts. The respectable Liberals of this
country wish for the practice of that economy and re'
trenchment to which the Ministers pledged themlesv
upon taking office. The respectable Liberals of Of:
country want to remain in that state of tranquillity an'
lar
quiet which is required to fight the battle of the pop
rights and privileges against the enemies of both. Mi.
serably, then, are the Morning Chronicle and its pa-
trons deceived, if they fancy that the mad and savage
interference with Egypt is applauded by any consider•
able portion of the Liberal party. The people have been
silent, because, recollecting the Belgian war of proto•
cols, they conceived that our Egyptian hostilities were,
in like manner, to be conducted with paper pellets. But
tl.ey will be silent no locger, and woe to those of their re-
presentatives who, when Parliament meets, shall support
tt,e policy which has been adopted, or help to lay on the

THE NOBLE MURDERER.—The Court Of
Ass'zes oi Limoges, has, within the last week, been °col'
pied with a case of murder, which has caused great excite-
ment in that part of the country, as well from the nature
of the crime as from the station in society held by the
party implicated in it. M. Antoine Barthon de Montbah
a dcacendant of one of the most ancient and noble familiest
in that part of the country—a man upwards of 70 years €.ll
age--was accused of having committed a voluntary horn
cide on the person of a man who worked on his estate.
The accused is a man of tall stature, his features passes!
an air of dignity, blended with a look of hauteur as if proud
of his aristocratic descent. During the trial, where a long
continued string of acts of violence to which he had given
he
way during his whole life were brought to light,
stood with the most perfect unconcern, not at
ell,
affected at the awful situation in which his violence hoe
placed him, and appeared during the whole time he v!!s
s
before the Court as if he thought it was derogatory to_ f!io
dignity to give any account of his actions. The facts of th
case which gave rise to the charge are as follow :—On
Au'
a.
10th Oct. last, M. de Nlontbas sent his man, named A
cher, to sow the field of '3 neighbour. The man, after finish'
t
ing his work, returned to hismaster's house,ho but was rather
late, and on his seeing M. de Months,

witnesses were called, who deposed to the violent temper
of the prisoner, who was in the habit of threatening death
to parties on the most trivial provocation. The juryt
found him guilty, hut (as is usual in nineteen out of twenty
cases of murder in France) with extenuating circuro_
stances, and the hoary culprit was only condemned to
1.0
general
chateau, and was not arrested till the next
years' close confinement, without even the usual accompani
ment of exposure in the pillory.
TEA. AND SUGAR.—Next to bread, the two
primary articles of European consumption, are sugar and
coffee, or tea. It is alarming to what an extent the con-
sumption of sugar has fallen f, and what a fatal deficit in
the revenue has thereby accrued. The pri- eof sugared i!
at present so high, that the article has twill), disappear
from the poor man's table. It is high time that our Cus-
toms should be somewhat relaxed, and the principles a
free trade come into play. We want sugar, timber, cot-
ton, and thousands of things which can only be obtained
by concessions to the foreigner. A grand commercial re-
form of this kind, bringing borne comfort and plenty at a
cheap rate to every man's board, would do more to restore
the popularity of the Whigs, than a hundred battles won ;
and we are glad to perceive that the Report of the Com-
mittee on the Import Duties, affards suggestions of this
co
sort, which cannot fail to be acted on. —Merlin.
THE COURT AND TIMES OF WILLIAM 111.9
EDITED BY Mr. JAMES.—A niche in our national historical
library that has hitherto remained empty, is at last filled
by the publication of a series of highly interesting fetters
illustrative of the character and times of William the Third,
which is now presented to the public by Mr. James, the
popular novelist and historian. This collection of letters
deserves to rank among the most valuable acquisitions of
the kind that have for some time issued from the press.
They arc written by James Vernon, Esq., who filled the .0
important office of Secretary of State, and was private Se- ,41
eretary to the Duke of Shrewsbury at the period in quer- a:
tion ; and who therefore possessed greater opportunities
than any other person for knowing the state of ),
soc'ety at that stirring era, and of becoming acquainted with
the public men and measures then so much the objects of
popular attention ; and the light which he throws
on the proceedings of the secret adherents of the exiled
F,•nwick, ofp

King James, in his detail of the conspiracy of Sir John

borough, Shre wsbury, and Somers—his accounts of navel

the calmness and fulness of his intelligence in every matter
of a moral or political nature, testify the admirable use be
could make of his advantages. In short, no historical
work, perhal s, has ever appeared so indispensable to 3
library as these " Letters, Illustrative of the Reign of
William III."

101 AtiovEa, DEC. 29.—1 t seems that the absurd and
ttth‘less attempt of Louis Bonaparte does not deter
&_ers from- similar undertakings. At least, this ap-
'o,,,tt from a notice issued by the Minister of the bite-
ILt to all the provincial authorities and magistrates.
4i7l:diag to this notice, the ex-Duke Charles of Bruns-
til'ilntends to attempt to regain possession of his domi-
IhY arms ; that for this purpose he is purchasing
14 ammunition, &c., and his plan is to be executed
Iltlii"cember, or at the latest in January. The
