The great cry of Sir ROBERT PEEL at Tam-
worth, was turn out the Whigs, turn out the
Whigs, and all will go well. They have lost
the confidence of the country, therefore turn
out the Whigs. That, and that alone, has been
the object of the Right Hon. Baronet's policy
during the whole time he has been in opposition.
For this, and this alone, he has built up, as he
says, the Conservative party; for this he sum-
moned his followers to do battle in the Registra-
tion Courts, and for this he has patiently strug-
gled through eleven years of wearying defeat to
a temporary triumph. Other politicians may
have had nobler motives. Some may have
struggled to serve the people, others to gain a
victory for the Crown; some have been enthusi-
astic for a theory, others have formed a broad
and comprehensive scheme of policy. Sir Ro-
BERT PEEL has laboured and fought exclusively
for office.

The - assertion that he was contending to
preserve our institutions and uphold the
Church is a mere pretext, for neither
he, nor any one of his followers, has ever really
believed that the Monarchy and the Church,
with all our institutions, were not as safe in the
keeping of the Whigs, as in the keeping of the
Tories. He has more than once, indeed, re-
proached the Ministers with being obliged to
make concessions to the Radicals and to Mr.
O'CONNELL, because they were weak; but they
were weak only through the factious opposition
of the Tories; and if the idea of serving the
State, according to his own principles, had ever
predominated over obtaining office, if he had
wished to prevent injurious concessions, he would
have offered his services to the Government, and
strengthened it by his support. He rarely or
never did so, though he was frequently found vot-
ing on its side, where it adopted Tory principles,
or resisted attacks on the Constitution. The
opinion that Sir ROBERT PEEL—Who, rather
than give up office, consented to be the instru-
ment for passing the Catholic Emancipation
Bill, which he had all his life opposed—is the
enemy of
the Whigs from any enthusiastic at-
tachment to the Monarchy, being disposed of
there remains no other clue to his conduct bill
that we have already given into the hands of
the reader; he has laboured for nothing else
mself in office.
than to place hi
With that clue to his conduct, he having no
broad and comprehensive scheme of policy laid
down, but being a mere waiter upon Provi-
dence, and ready to adopt any measure which
time and circumstances demand, consistently
with his sole and grovelling object of remaining
in place, the demand to turn out the Whigs,
so vociferously echoed by his followers,
which means turn in PEEL, becomes power-
fully expressive. A wise and a thoughtful
roan, preferring his country's welfare to his indivi-
dual aggrandisement, would never have adopted
such a course, or used the same language as Sir
ROBERT PEEL. Whatever
t., his followers may
bawl, he must be sensible that the difficulties into
which the country is plunged, deficient revenue
and deranged trade, are not the result of mal-
administration, but of unjust and improper legis-
lation'. The additional expense which the con-
duct of the Government brought on the country j
—even if we were to admit that they were to
blame for the Canada troubles, which were a
Tory legacy; for the Chinese dispute, which was
the consequence of barbarian folly, and the unwise
legislation which placed a Government repre-
sentative on the waters of Canton to watch over
our trade ; and for the Afikhanistan and Syrian
expeditions,—the additional expense, we say,
caused by the conduct of the Government, ad-
mitting it to have been blameable, was met in
1840 by additional taxation ; but the resources
of the country have ceased to expand under the
pressure of short-sighted legislation, and the ad-
ditional taxation, resulted in a positive loss to the
revenue. For that no change of Ministers can
be a remedy, and that man must be blinded
by
a desire for office who could teach the multitude
that to turn out the Whigs and turn in the
Tories would be to restore our damaged finances
and bring back prosperity to our unemployed and
slatkr.rinurtisans.
T:- It will restore confidence for a time, we admit,
in the Goir'ernment, because at
jority th,t electors
Tori • • have confidence in the
Tomes but Executive
Government, as such,
can do uQtbing, and, in the hands of the Tories

certainly will do nothing to restore the national
prosperity. The cure must come from the Le-
gislature. The plain fact is that the resources
of our industrious and ingenious people, vast as
they are, are inadequate to feed themselves
comfortably, which is their first duty, and
comply with all the demands which the Le-
gislature makes on them. Their skilful toil,
however productive, is inadequate to pay all the
expenses of the State, and all the still heavier
expenses imposed on it by legislation, establish-
ing and maintaining a great number of mono-
polies. It is physically impossible for the peo-
ple to comply with all the demands made on
them by the Legislature. They are required to
run with their legs tied, to swim with a load they
cannot carry. The Legislature, by its laws, not
the Executive Government by executing those
laws, imposes these burdens on the people,
and the Legislature only can give relief.
The Tories, however, and the monopolists,
are one and the same; and their subservient
tool, the Tamworth quack, takes office to fix
more securely, if he can, all those burdens on
the people, while he teaches them that a change
in the Executive Government will give relief.
The people will be deceived if they expect that
having confidence in the Government will pro-
duce any such effect; and Sir a. PEEL, though
he takes on himself the responsibility, knows
that the Executive Government, however much
it may be confided in, cannot restore the prospe-
rity of the country, unless the Legislature
abolish the monopolies.
So far, however, does Sir ROBERT PEEL share,
or inculcate without sharing, a vulgar prejudice,
that he refers to the repeal of the -Union, and
the Lichfield House compact. as affording an
explanation of the state of the country. That the
justice done to the Catholics by the Ministers
has raised against them the bigotry of the ultra-
Protestants is not doubtful ; and Sir R. PEEL'S
allusion to that subject must carry conviction to
every man that bigotry, though little publicly
and openly appealed to during the late elections,
has had considerable influence in deciding them.
The No-Popery feeling was active, if the No-
Popery cry was not heard. Whatever might
have been the effect of the Lichfield House com-
pact, in a party point of view, it had no more
tendency to increase the expenses of the State
than disbanding a few regiments. It diminished
the expenses, and by producing tranquillity it
augmented the resources and revenue of Ire-
land. By acting on contrary principles Sir Ro-
BERT PEEL may increase the public expenses,
but he will grossly delude the people if he tell
them that the Tory Government he is to form,
with the help of the whole army of monopolists,
will augment the revenue, increase trade; and
add to employment, profit, or wages.
We repeat, as we have
,before more than once
stated, that the country has not been brought
into its present condition by the maladministra-
tion of the laws, but by the laws being unjust.
Sir ROBERT PEEL has no plan to amend them ;
he has no settled and comprehensive scheme of
policy, except that he will as long as possible
maintain the unjust laws; and he has no higher
motive for supplanting the Whigs than the de-
sire of possessing place and power.

The demand which is generally made on Sir
R. PEEL by his opponents to state what he will
do when he is in office, would seem to imply, on
their part, an opinion that he must succeed
Lord MELBOURNE. Certainly the assumption of
the Tories that he must be Prime Minister,
makes very light of her MAJESTY, and implies
that she must do as the temporary majority of
the Tories dictates, however attained. There is, in
truth, less admission in the demands of his op-
ponents, than arrogance in the assumption
of his friends. Sir ROBERT PEEL has
been the forward and active man in
breaking up the present Government, and
therefore the public have a right to demand
of him what he suggests in place of that budget
which he would not allow to pass into a law. At
the same time it does not follow that her MAJESTY
must make the leader of the mischief her chief
counsellor. Really the Tories, who boast
so much of their loyalty, do not show
any great respect for her MAJESTY, since they
speak of her as the humble tool of their ma-
jority. They do not leave the grand-daughter of
GEORGE 111. any will of her own. They exer-
cise her prerogative for her; they fill up all the
public offices; they make this man First Lord
of the Treasury, and that man Viceroy of Ire-
land,
without ever consulting her MAJESTY, any
more than they consult her waiting-wom'an. Her
MAJESTY, we apprehend, is not deficient in that
spirit which her father and grandfather possessed,
and she will scarcely allow Sir ROBERT PEEL
and his friends to treat her as if her highest
duty was to obey their directions, and lend her
signature, when they bid her, to carry their will
nto effect.

The French journals of Thursday have reached
us, but the news they bring was anticipated in
the express from Paris published in yesterday's

Sun.

Pan's, JULY 28.—The audience granted by the King
yesterday to M. Mahul has been the general subject of
conversation to-day. It was asked whether M. Mahul is
restored to favour, and whether his letter to the Journal
des Debuts is considered as a sufficient expiation, in
which letter he declares with such ferocious naivete that
he did not hesitate at the shedding of the blood of the
factious ; that it was his right and his duty.
A letter from Toulon of the 24th informs us that

the Marengo and Triton of the line are appointed to go
to Vendres, to take troops on board and convey them to
Africa. It is believed that the troops which received
this destination are those that were at Toulouse at the
time of the troubles, and which it is thought proper to
remove from it.—Le Commerce, July 29.
PARIS, JULY 28.—Joussouf Bey, who commands the
regular Spahis of Oran, has arrived at Paris. He had
an audience of Marshal Soult yesterday. The 33d re-
giment of the line,- which is shortly to proceed to Africa,
continues its preparations at Toulon. In a few days
the battalions and the baggage will be embarked. The
Toulonaise repeats on this occasion what it has said se-
veral times that it is very imprudent to send fresh troops
to Africa in the middle of the summer, and that their
departure might very well be deferred till the autumn.—
Le Temps, July 29.
A miliary fever has been raging at Coutances, in
the Manche, for a month past. Between the 18th and
24th inst. there have been upwards of 140 cases and 15
deaths. Among the last is a surgeon of the hospital and
one of the first physicians of the town. As there were
only four medical men left, application has been made to

A few days ago, in the village of Merle Gu„, in
Brittany, a white flag, bearing the inscription, " Bre-
thren, remain faithful to Henry V.. and never forget
your legitimate Prince I" being displayed from the top
of a beech-tree, a brigade of gendarmes proceeded to cut
it down. This was accomplished with resolution, al-
though they were violently assailed with stones and
other missiles from the people. Some of the most re-
fractory persons were arrested. •
The Algiers correspondent of the Toulonnais states
that, on the 16th inst., a party of six soldiers and thirty
Inisbandmen were surprised in the neighbourhood of
Boufraricic by 100 Arabs, disguised as Moorish gen-
darmes, who carried them all off. Next day the Mctidja
was on fire in many places, the Arabs destroying all the
forage wherever they could find any standing. The
Sentinelle states that eight soldiers had been carried off
the day before near Douera. This journal adds, that
several despatches have been recently exchanged be-
tween the Bishop of Algiers and Abdel Kader ; that the
French Priests go about in perfect security, even beyond
the advanced posts, with Arab passes ; and that there was
an improbable rumour afloat of the Bishop being in ne-
gotiation with the Emir for a peace, by the terms of
which the latter would quit Africa, and come to France.
The Hanover Gazette of the 22d instant contains the
following notice from the Minister of the Interior

"His Majesty has ordained, with reference to the pro-
clamation of the 14th instant, that all illicit resistance
to the Constitution shall be combated with energy, par-
ticularly all influence in the elections ; every attempt of
this kind will be punished according to the existing
laws. A prosecution will be immediately commenced,
and the parties be arrested. The administrative autho-
rities of the police are invited to exercise the strictest
surveillance in this matter, and they are to act with
energy without waiting for superior orders. They are
to put into form the dispositions of the electoral:law of
September 9, 1840, and in case of need those of June
27, 1838, relative to imprisonment. All offences are to
be immediately brought before the competent criminal
tribunal."

Captain-General Alvares addressed the following
proclamation to the people of Malaga on the 16th in-
stant :—" The revolted company of Alhucemas has
ceased to exist. The guilty survivors had their uni-
forms torn, as unworthy of forming part of the glorious
Spanish army. Of the 19 leaders in the revolt, 12
are to be shot at Alhucemas, Melilla, and Penon,
where they have been transported for execution on
board the brig of war Heros. The seven others, and
three more chosen by lots out of the 25 who were to
be decimated, have been shot, and the remainder are to
be conducted to the prisons of the arsenal of la Carraque,
where they will await thu fate reserved to them by the
Government."

A few days ago. at an auction sale of household fur-
niture at Etreval (Meurthe), the flooring of the room
on the first floor, in which the sale was held, gave way,
anal all who were in it fell through to the ground floor.
More than fifty persons were severely injured, and several
were killed, but the number is not stated in the letter
from v hich we take this account. Amongst the persons
severely injured was M. Saulnier, avocat of the Cour
Royale of Nancy. One female had both legs broken,
and they have since been amputated. - Her daughter, a
girl of fourteen, had also a leg broken.
The Augsburgh Gazette says—" The advantages of-
fered by the Austrian Government to the contractors are
stated to be as follow :-Ist. The contractors are to be
at liberty to transform their bonds into Italian rentes.
2d. The Government engages not to pay off or convert
into other stock the total amount of the 5 per cent. debt.
3d. In the event of the 5 per cent. bonds falling below
par, the Government engages to assist to the utmost of
its power in raising it, by having recourse to the sink-
ing fund. 4th. If from unforeseen events the new bonds
should be so depreciated as to be for 15 days together
under 92 on the Exchange of Vienna, the Government
engages to come to a new arrangement for relieving the
contractors from the monthly instalments which might
still remain to be effected. sth. The Government en-
gages to contract no other loan based upon the system
of public credit, before the 31st January, 1843. The
Augsburgh Gazette adds, that the new loan is solely in-
tended for the consolidation of the old debt, and is not
to be used to cover any deficit of the budget or to meet
any extraordinary expenditure.
It is stated in a letter from Hanover, of the 17th inst.,
that the Prince Royal had for some days been much in-
disposed, and that he would, as soon as he should be
well enough to undertake the journey, go to Norderney
for sea-bathing. The rumour of an intended marriage
between the Prince and a Princess of Anhalt-Dessau,
his cousin, which was current some time ago, is again
revived. The King's physicians are said to have urged
his going to Ems for his health, but he objects so much
to leaving, that the proposed journey is more than ever
doubtful.

OPERATIVE REFORM ASSOCIATION.—A Society with
this title has been formed at Preston, so well known for
the Liberal opinions of its inhabitants, and we trust
many other towns will folio* the good example. The
object of the institution is thus stated in a circular
which we have received :—" Formed, and intended, for
the purpose of cementing and perpetuating that bond of
unity which has been so eminently successful in the late
contest, for confirming the strong and establishing the
wavering, the Committee propose accomplishing this ob-
ject by supplying good political information at a trifling
charge, by placing the perusal of the best London daily
and weekly papers, and a selection of the most popular
provincial ones, at such a small amount of subscription as
to come within the reach of all classes. Although the
Association will be decidedly of a Liberal character, no
specific declaration of principles will be required from
its members, the Committee being convinced that the
adoption of any such restrictive measures would frustrate
the intention of the society, and prevent many persons
becoming enrolled as members. The subscription has
been fixed at the low sum of one penny per week, for
which the Committee will endeavour to place the Opera-
tive Reform News-room on an equality with any in the
town."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS

PARIS, FRIDAY, JULY 30.—The despatch of yester-
day brought up the news to one o'clock, P.M. From
that hour to midnight the Champs Elysees were crowded.
The illuminations of the avenue, like a Moorish gallery,
were superb. The fireworks were brilliant. At the
concert, in the Tuileries gardens, some seditious cries
were heard ; and the " Marsellaise " and " Parisienne "
were played on the demand of the people. All paseed
off quietly except this little incident. The opposi-
tion papers persist in the statement that the Paris
Municipality has declared, by a stoag majority, that
the fiscal measure of M. Humana was illegal,intolerable,
and an attack on municipal privileges. Some disturb-
ances had taken place at Strasburg, owing to the foot
Chasmurs taking offence at some squibs, in the shape of
advertising placards, which they tore down with their
bayonets. The King this morning, at half-past seven
o'clock, went to Corbeil by the railroad, en route for Fon-
, tainb'teau, and will return this evening. Baron de Bu-
low a rrived on the 22d at his seat near Berlin, and will
shortly go to Frankfort as Envoy to the Germanic Diet.
TI to provincial journals state that the fetes concluded
on the preceding night in the best possible spirit. Re-
sistai ice to the new fiscal measures of Government had
been manifested atNismes, at Strasburgh, and elsewhere,
but nothing serious had occured in any part.
The weather in Paris continued to be magnificent.
