THE SUN.

LONDON, THURSDAY, DEC. 1, 1859.

The speech of Mr. ROEBUCK at Bath is well
worthy of attention. A. great Liberal assemblage
was held in that city on Tuesday evening last, at
which the working classes presented a handsome
testimonial to Mr. PuINN, the defeated candidate
at the late election. Mr. 'ROEBUCK, M.P., and
several other members of the Legislature were in-
vited to honour the meeting with their presence.
After the complimentary ceremony was concluded,
Mr. ROEBUCK took occasion to aedress the assembly.
He reminded them of his last public appearance in
Bath, seven-and-twenty years ago, in the midst
of all the strife and political agitation that
ushered in the Reform Bill of 1832. Mr. ROE-
BUCK, an independent and consistent Reformer,
proudly referred to his defence of the bill on the
occasion of his unsuccessful contest twenty-seven
years ago. In answer to the lamentable prophe-
cies so freely indulged in at that time, he
pointed out the fact that England had improved
more in the last 27 years than in any 27 years
of her history. " She alone," observed the hon.
gentleman, '• She alone of all mankind is a free-
trader, and she is the greatest trader of all man-
kind." No wonder, after such a triumphant vindi-
cation of his former principles, that the member
for Sheffield should insist on the necessity of the
additional and complete reform of the representation
of the people; justly maintaining that it must be
wrested from those in power by the loud and unani-
mous voice of public opinion. On one point Mr.
ROEBUCK especially expressed•our own views by
insisting on the importance of the ballot, the key-
stone of real Reform. "It will come," he said, and
the realisation of that cheering prophecy greatly
depends on the resolute and consistent course of in-
dependent Liberals like himself, supported by that
portion of the great body of the people who honestly
desire the diminution of those corrupt influences
which are a disgrace to our constitutional govern-
ment. In allu,ion to the coming session, Mr.
ROEBUCK exprt sled his anticipations that it
would be chiefly occupied by the discussion of
foreign affairs. lie deprecated the idea of

our joining in the proposed Congress.

gave the followicf; sound advice to our legislators:
" I would say to England's rulers, consider, first and
foremost, the in terests of England. Do not mix
yourselves up in continental politics. It may suit
certain gentlemen to appear as great men at a Con-
gress of the Great Powers of Europe, but it will
not suit Englan ." He had lately been much
abroad, he said, al L d had heard our policy often dis-,.

M. DE MONTALEMBERT had called our

-position ignoble, but he denied the accusation.
" Vii. MONTALEMBERT may wish to keep the
Por E upon his throne by English bayonets; and
other friends of Italy may wish that we drove out
the three dukes by English bayonets. We should
make e.lemies whatever course we took. We should
make en emies of those whom we put down, and we
should make ungrateful friends of those whom we
set up. TlLerefore I say to England, keep your-
selves, my insular countrymen, in your own island ;
mix not yourselves with European contests. If
you are attacked, strike back a blow that shall an-
nihilate the invaders and maintain our position.
(Applause.) If you wish for friends, look at the
great colonies that you have established in the
world. If we are to adopt this course, there are
millions of men speaking the English language
who have derived from England their literature,
their institutions, and their laws, who would then
be ready to maintain us in the position we now
hold, as the only free people in Europe. We
alone have a free pros; we alone have a Govern-
ment which represents the people ; we alone de-
serve the name of freemen. (Applause.) Shall
we say that we at this time are afraid of anybody ?
Not a whit of it. (Laughter and applause.) Afraid
we are not; but let no man dare to offend us.
When they talk of invasion, that army that puts
its foot upon England will never take its foot off
the English soil."

After referring to the unsatisfactory results of
our former interference in the affairs of other
nations, who never manifested the smallest grati-
tude for our services, and generally arrogated to
themselves the credit of the successes we had
gained for them, Mr. ROEBUCK went on to say :
" But I am now very much afraid that there is a
meddling spirit abroad; that there are people in
power who delight to have the honour of being
talked of, and I do therefore fear that their med-
dling spirit will entangle us in European affairs.
I may be called a narrow-minded man. I have
been accustomed to a great deal of abuse in my
life, and I don't care for it. (Laughter.) But this
has been my great object through life—England
and England's greatness. For her I have laboured
late and early. I have not sought my own but my
country's welfare. To her I have dedicated
what intelligence I have had." This manly decla-
ration might justly be made to his enthusiastic
audience by the honourable member for Sheffield,
who, by a long course of Parliamentary labour and
public serviees, in spite of his occasional acrimony
of speech and ebullitions of temper, has earned for
himself the title of an upright and consistent
patriot.

Several months have elapsed since her most
gracious MAJESTY, in her speech from the Throne,

made stern allusion to the wrong-doings of the

Mexican Government.

A twelvemonth, indeed,

has gone by since the Sovereign of these realms
thus so solemnly intimated to her lords and cora-

moners in Parliament assembled the sore need there

was then, according to the opinion of her coun-
cillors, for some interposition at last between Bri-

tish subjects and British interests on the one part
in Mexico, and that disorganised Mexican Govern-

ment on the other, by which both those British
interests and those British subjects had been so
long and so flagrantly outraged with im-

punity.

We have yet to learn how far

these recommendations from the Crown itsel

to the Imperial Legislature have been re

sponded to by the vigorous action of the
Executive. We have yet to learn how far the

Mexican authorities have been called to account

for acts thus demanding roprobation from the
lips of Queen VICTORIA.. Tue situation, for the
most part, has all this while remained unaltered
within the Mexican boundaries. Anarchy still

threatens to result from the collision of the riva

parties established respectively at the city of

Mexico and at the seaport of Vera Cruz.

Mexico, under MIRAMON ! At Vera Cruz, under

JUAREZ ! The latter—JuntEz—representing wha'

is called the Liberal, but what is, in reality
the American party, or party of ultra-demo

crats, under a pseudo-Constitutional Govern;
men t ! The former—i\liaAmoN---representing on

the other hand the so-called Clerical or Absolutist

party, but in truth the one only party expressive
of purely Mexican or national sentiments ! How

theze parties have been cunningly pitted against
each other by the diplomatic influence brought to
bear in that direction by the United States' Go-
vernment has been clearly explained in tho course
of a simple narrative of facts by the " Mexican,*
who, on Monday last, recounted in a lucid and
succinct narrative of facts, the general affairs
