his own person, by his mere acceptance of the seals of Colo-
nial or (we wish it miglrt have been so) Forei7n Secretary—

nay, or a.iy ot!;Pr of:lee of the Government—:7ollb; have been
received with open arms by the country as a Pledge of the
liberal and straightforward measures which could not fail to be
pursued. Lord Durham would have brought with him, as
allies to the Government, the whole weight of the numerous,
intelligent, well-organised, and now, we are afraid, alienated
and embittered, Dissenting body. They know the steady and
enlightened attachment of that Noble Earl to their cause, in
so far as it is the cause of good government, including that
of equal justice; and we repeat, that the Dissenters would
have claimed from Lord Durham no further immediate pledge
of his support, beyond his personal accession to the Ministry."
These' observations were made on the secession of
Mr. STANLEY and others from the Cabinet, and the
public will naturally ask what does the Times say to-
day in support of Lord DURHAM'S conclusive claims
to office ? Here is the recommendation :
(From the Times of this day.)
" We have hesitated, and indeed now bring ourselves with
no little difficulty, to allude to a circumstance which rather
concerns ourselves than the public. A Noble Lord, for whom
we have often expressed esteem, and whom we wish still to re-
gard with friendly feelings, is reported to give out that he can
influence this journal by means of one or two individuals with
whom he has some acquaintance. We think we shall equally
serve his Lordship and ourselves by stating, most emphatically,
that he neither has nor can have any influence with us except
such as he may derive from our approbation of his public
conduct, and that any attempt to exert any other influence, or
any vaunt of such influence, can only redound to his own
discomfiture. His Lordship has, we are told, .acquired a
right by property to influence the opinions of another
journal : let him be content with that : we doubt, though
we have not a mean opinion of his abilities, his power to
manage more than one such engine—nay, if we may
judge by what has already appeared, we should say he
has much to learn before he can manage that one, either
by himself or by attorney. However, the field is open :
he has a right to try his skill, and we will not pronounce
a decisive opinion on the endeavours of a novice. One salu-
tary caution, however, we give him for his own sake ; let him
not listen too implicitly to the flattery of his friends or to the
suggestions of his own self-love ; else he may afford to his
enemies that species of sport which the poet speaks of when he
describes an engineer hoist with his own petard.' "

We should not perhaps have troubled our readers
with these matters, but that our attention has been
lately called to the eccentric turns of our very clever,
but not very consistent, contemporary.

Don CARLOS is now in Spain—at least so say the
French Journalists, one and all—and from all that has
yet happened, threatens to give no small annoyance to
the QUEEN'S Government. It is not for us to speak
definitely of the sentiments entertained by the King
of the FRENCH relative to the state of affairs in
Spain ; but there are rumours abroad which hint that
his Most Christia,n Majesty is not as ill-affected to-
wards the usurper as is consistent with his public re-
cognition of the lawful sovereignty of his Royal Niece.
Considerable excitement has arisen in Paris in con-
sequence of the arrest of M. JAUGE, the banker, who
published a letter in the Paris Papers, on the 15th
instant, stating that he had been officially in-
formed of CARLOS'S arrival in Spain, and was
empowered to raise a loan in favour of the pre-
tended rightful heir to the Spanish Crown. His ar-
rest took place on the Bourse, at three o'clock on the
very day on which his letter appeared ; and he was in-
stantly carried before the Prefecture of Police, to an-
swer a charge of attempting to extort money from the
people under false pretences, he having made proposals
for raising money to recruit the resources of an usurper.
What the result will be—whether M. JAUGE will be
subjected to any penalty for what has occurred is not
yet known ; but the whole particulars, including his
examination, will be made public in a day or two.
However, the conduct of the French Executive in
this affair is highly praiseworthy ; and, if sanc-
tioned by the KING, refutes all that has been
circulated respecting his MAJESTY'S fears of the
dangers which the House of ORLEANS appre-
hend from the spread of constitutional liberty in Spain.
It would be useless to waste a supposition on what
will be the consequences of CA os's expedition ;
everything about it will be soon matter of history, not
speculation.

If we may believe the latest foreign arrivals, Swit-
zerland is at last prostrate at the feet of the Holy Al-
liance. She has been sacrificed by the non-interven-
tion of France, whose interest it was to have stood by
her, and supported her in her diplomatic struggles with
the three Great Powers holding their councils in
Vienna. We learn, by arrivals so late as the 10th
inst., that M. HESS, the President of the Vorort, on
recommending an unqualified compliance with the
will of the Allied Sovereigns of Austria,
Russia,
and Prussia, declared, with tears in his eyes, that
there was no alternative, as the States had been be-
trayed by their enemies, and forsaken by their friends.
A division took place in the assembly on the question
of unqualified submission, when the votes were 114
for, to 61 against. So that unless France bestirs
herself, the only barrier which defended her from the
inroads of Prussia and Austria will be levelled before
the termination of many weeks.
The apathy of France and England with regard to
the proceedings which have been going on for some
months at Vienna, is really astonishing. France
knows well that Switzerland is the only defence she
has against the encroachment of Austria; and Eng-
land is equally certain, that the subjugation of the.
Swiss by any of the Allied Sovereigns, would destroy
the balance of power in Europe. There is now no
time to be lost. Switzerland is at this moment in the
clutches •of Austria ; and she must be extricated, or
France and England may prepare for a war with the
crowned despots of the North.
