THEATRE ROYAL ADELPHI.

that since the recognition of the Juntas byithe Spanish
Government, and even for some time before, Louis
PHILLIPPE has been seeking for some favourable pre-
text to bleak off all connection with Queen CHRIS-
TINA, and even openly to espouse the cause of the
Carlists. The Ministerial Journals were not slow to
discover the sentiments of the KING. All at once it
appeared that the QUEEN was in the most imminent.
peril ; that rebellions were' apprehended in every
corner of Spain ; that the British Auxiliaries were
the sorriest poltroons that ever fell with their
backs to an enemy ; and that the Carlists were
neither the blood-thirsty ruffians, nor contumaci-
ous dastardly rebels which these very Journals them-
selves were the first to report them to be. When
the Juntas took upon themselves the management
of their own affairs, and demanded a liberal consti-
tution for their common country, the Journal des
Debats commenced the publication of a series of
articles, in which it endeavoured to furbish up the
opinion-proof armour of the Holy Alliance, as regarded
the right of international intervention. It is well
known that when the Holy Alliance drew up its first
formulary, there was an article inserted to the effect,
that if any neighbouring State, or Empire, established
laws or made ordinances for the encouragement of in-
stitutions, or the dissemination of opinions,liable to
spread beyond the fixed boundary of such State or
Empire, all Princes and Potentates having anything
to fear from their dissemination might take hostile
measures to prevent their being encouraged, not only
within their respective territories, but within the domi-
nions of all other Sovereigns. This doctrine, which
strikes at the root of civil liberty, by subjecting every
country desirous of improving its institutions, to the
combined invasion of all despotical Governments, was
revived by the Journal des Debats as a justification
of the conduct of France, should her CITIZEN SO-
VEREIGN take it into his Royal head to march
an army into Spain for the suppression of
the liberal Juntas. The experiment did not
succeed, however, and so the affair was very
prudently dropped before any serious alarm was excited.
The KING saw the danger of laying down any thing
like a system—any thing which might awaken French-
men to a knowledge of premeditation in the acts of
the Government. Expediency was found to work well ;
and the Ministerial scribe was accordingly directed to
keep his principles and his systems, and his reasons, if
he could give any, in the background, till France was
in a condition to require them. This proceeding was
politic in the highest degree. While the KING con-
trives to make all his despotical acts the apparent re-
sults of an inevitable necessity, he is assuredly safe.
There is no measure so flagitious which ‘a nation may
not be brought to tolerate, provided the Government
can contrive to support it solely on the ground of ex-
pediency. In the growth of despotisms, it is always
dangerous to tell the people that any thing has been
done, or that any thing is about to be done, merely
because the act was or may be consonant to the
established principles of some system. The safest
course is to leave to expediency alone the task
of riveting the chain. The evil which is in-
flicted, with the avowed intention of averting a
greater one, falls lightly on every head. It was a know-
ledge of this most important truth that induced Louis
PHILLIPPE to leave to fate the discovery of some suit-
able pretext for declaring himself opposed to the
spread of liberalism in Spain. Some act of uninten-
tional aggression—some freshly spawned conspiracy
concocted in the office of the Minister of the Interior
—or some alleged infraction of the law of nations,
would, he was aware, serve his purpose a thousand
times better than a series of articles tending prematurely
to dcvelope the future schemes of the French Govern-
ment, particularly with regard to its domestic policy.
The active part taken by England, and the bold and
manly course which Mr. VILLIERS pursued, when the
QUEEN'S authority was in the most imminent danger,
from the short-sightedness of TOREN() and his col-
leagues, have imposed upon the King of the FRENCH
the necessity of proceeding with more than his usual
caution, in withdrawing himself from the position in
which he voluntarily placed himself by signing the
quadruple treaty. All his movements are too closely
watched to allow him an opportunity of picking a quar-
rel with Spain ; and even if he succeeded, he knows
that England would take upon itself to act as umpire
on the occasion, and that her decision would satisfy
the French people, though it might be most galling
to the vanity, and dangerous to the designs, of their
KING.

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 10, 1535.

The whole of the Paris Papers of Thursday have
been received. The Journal de Paris, in a second
edition, gives the following intelligence from Madrid :

The petty annoyances and indignities to which the
Government of France is having recourse against the
liberal cause' in Spain are, however, of small conse-
quence. That cause must ultimately triumph, despite
of all opposition. A weather-cock Morning Contem-
porary, who never has an opinion of its own, and
which alternately supports every party which promises
to become triumphant, devotes a whole column to
enquiries as to what M. MENDIZABAL has done
since his arrival in Spain, and expresges some signifi-
cant doubts as to his chances of being more successful
than MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA OT TORENO. These
enquiries are rather premature. M. MENDIZABAL
was for fourteen years a stranger to his native country,
and he is not yet quite a month returned to it. Yet in
that very short time he has actually done more to tran-
quillize Spain, and to effect an union among all parties,
than did either of his predecessors for a period of
twelve months. His very presence in the capital ren-
dered the continuance of martial law unnecessary for
the maintenance of public order. By a single Address
he reconciled to the Government seven of the most
powerful juntas in Spain. He repealed, or caused to
be repealed, the Royal Ordinances against the liberal
juntas throughout the kingdom; and he has summoned
the Constitutional Cortes—the legitimate guardians of
the liberties of the people—to assist in saving, and to
give a constitution to their country. If this be not con-
sidered a great deal for any person to perform in the brief
space of one month in Spain, all we can say is that the
dissatisfied know nothing either of the country, or of
the nature of ministerial functions. The restoration of
public confidence is in itself of the utmost importance,
and this has been effected in Spain solely by the ma-
nifesto of M. MENDIZABAL. We ourselves recom-
mended to him at the commencement the adoption of a
bolder, but perhaps a less prudent, course. We ad-
vised him to draw up the outline of a Charter for Spain,
and to address copies of it to all the provincial Juntas,
in order that the opinion of the public respecting its
various articles- might be expressed before the assem-
bling of the Cortes. This we still think would have
been the best course. But MENDIZABAL, perhaps,
considered the responsibility of such an act too great
for any single person. He may have feared to awa-
ken the jealousy of the popular leaders among the
Cortes, and thus decided upon leaving the drawing up
of the Charter to a Committee selected for that pur-
pose by the national representatives. Without a know-
ledge of all the circumstances, it is' difficult to deter-
mine whether MENDIZABAL was right or wrong in
the course which he adopted. One thing, however, is
very certain. He acted throughout with the cordial
concurrence of the English Government, and the con-
sequence has been that all parties in favour;of liberalism
are united in support of his administration.
The only recent advices from the Noith of Spain
will be found in our extracts from the French papers.
It is our duty to caution the public against giving im-

" By a decree of the 28th, the QUEEN convokes for
November 16th the actual Cortes, in order to the
drawing up of an Electoral Law, in virtue of which
new Cortes will be convoked. This assembly will re-
vise the Estatuto Real, and will proceed on the prin-
ciples of government developed in M. MENDIZA BA L'S
manifesto of the 14th. The Junta of Saragossa dis-
solved itself on the 2d ; proclaiming at the same time
the fullest confidence in the Government. MINA
was setting out for Barcelona. A decree of the 28th
changed the name of the Urban militia into that of
National Guard. The nomination of Los HEROS to
the Interior, and GOMEZ BELLARE to the Depart-
ment of Justice, complete the Ministry."
The telegraphic despatch, of which the above is a
copy, must have remained for upwards of twenty-four
hours in the office of the French Minister of the In-
terior, before it was communicated to the public Jour-
nals. Will M. THIERs be so good as to explain the
reason of this ? Has he declared a telegraphic war
against the Queen of SPAIN ? Latterly no telegra-
phic communication favourable to the QUEEN has
been published in Paris before the facts were known in
London through the ordinary channels. We know

plicit credit to the various reports now circulated by
the organs of Louis PHILLIPPE. The object of the
French Government is to embarrass MENDIZABAL,
and through him to crush the liberals—now regarded
by the KING as the deadly enemies of the Orleans
dynasty.
The new law for abolishing the liberty of the Press
has been brought into triumphant operation. The
Editor of the Rffornzatcur, M. JAFFRENON, in
making some observations on the Peers, made use of
the expression :—" One must despair of a society
which suffers itself to be ruled by such a power ;" and
for this a majority of Jurors, after the new fashion,
found him guilty of a libel, for which he is sentencA
to three months' imprisonment, and a fine of 6,000
francs ! Englishmen may find in this a commen-
tary on the Fieschi Code. Did they understand
the composition of the French Chamber of Peers, they
would only feel astonished that any court of justice in
Europe could hear the libelous sentence read, without
rising up and applauding the honesty of the persecuted
gentleman who gave expression to it. God knowi the
British Peerage has no surplus wisdom or honesty to
boast of ; and yet rather would we accept the legisla-
tion of the Lords, without the interference of either
King or people, than submit to the authority of a re-
presentative government, under the controul of such a
sink of imbecility and corruption as the French
Chamber of Peers. ,
Another conspiracy has been discovered in the
French army. What are we to think of so many con-
spiracies ?

We have received German Papers, which, however,
contain no intelligence of any public importance. The
Political Gazette of Munich publishes a long letter
from Athens, dated the 26th of August, which is too
general and. desultory to suite the taste of English
newspaper writers. The substance of it may be
summed up in a few words :—The Greeks are ad-
vancing in civilization, and the cholera is decreasing in
violence.

New York papers to the 10th of September have
been received at the North and South American Cof-
fee-house. The Charleston Courier, in alluding to
the proceedings of the Anti-abolitionist Meeting in
this city, remarks—
., We can readily conceive, that in the great excitement
that existed, and the immense concourse present, resolutions
far less strong thati was desired by the great body of the com-
munity may have been carried ; and we have no hesitation in
Believing, that the people of New York are even more disposed
to do us justice than would appear from these proceedings.
We had hoped that the resolutions would have been clothed in
language that would have carried-conviction to the very soul
of the fanatics."

The Brooklyn Advertiser of last evening says—
We learn that serious riots are just now enacting at
Red Hook, among the Irish labourers employed there,
and that the military are assembling at the request of
the Mayor.
The New York papers are void of interest.

What with its malignant abuse of Mr. O'CONNELL,
its forlorn defence of the hereditary incurables, and its
still more forlorn defence of itself, the old Times seems
to,have enough on its hands. Indeed, the last men-
tioned undertaking, to say nothing of the others, is
not only fully sufficient to employ its energies, but far
beyond its utmost powers. The difficulty of the task,
too, seems to increase every day ; for not only has it
to struggle against the overwhelming host of enemies
—comprehending all the well-principled part of so-
ciety—whom its unparalleled apostacy has raised
up against it, but it has to ward off sundry well-
dealt, back-handed blows, from some of its new
associates. Whether it be, that the party to which
the political Bravo has sold himself have fOund out his
worthlessness, and cannot conceal their chagrin at being
so completely taken in, we cannot tell ; but certain it
is, that their ablest and most confidential organ, the
John Bull, has (of course not without orders from
head-quarters), begun to deprecate his assistance in de-
fending the common cause. The John Bull speaks
his mind freely, and tells the bully of Blackfriars that
he is acting very imprudently, and in fact materially in-
juring the cause he pretends to support by the course
he is pursuing. Though this severe and well-timed
rebuke is levelled directly and avowedly at the ab-
surd ravings against Mr. O'CONNELL, who (though
tco contemptible for notice 1 !) has been the daily
theme of the renegade for the last month, is no doubt
intended to apply, and is in truth no less applicable,
to his clumsy and injudicious attempts at a defence of
the House of Lords.

What has been his main, we had almost said his
only, argument in favour of the hereditary peerage ?
What proof has he brought forward of their indispen-
sableness as a branch of the national legislature ?
Why this, that they rejected " the Music and
Dancing Bill !1" Upon this " Music and Dancing
Bill,•' he has been harping day after day with
a dogged perseverance which shows at once the im-
portance which he in his wisdom attaches to it, and
his utter unconsciousnes of the ridiculous position in
which he was placing both himself and the unfortu-
nate persons whom he took under his patronage. To-
day he is at it again—again throwing the sevenfold
shield of " the Dancing Bill" between his clients,
the Peers, and the indignation of the people, whose
rights they have trampled upon, and whose innocent
enjoyments it seems their wish to suppress, and where
they cannot suppress, to curtail.
But mark the consistency of this miserably
degraded creature. Look at the humiliation—or
rather the prostration of character which he is ex-
hibiting with regard to this matter. The Bill which
he is now beslabbering the Lords with his nau-
seous praise for rejecting—tile Bill, " the kick-
ing out" of which he now pronounces " an act which
entitles the House of Lords to the gratitude of all
reasonable and conscientious minds,"—the principle
of this very Bill did he himself advocate on a late oc-
casion, deprecating, as it turns out, with mock huma-
nity, any attempts to interfere with the pleasures of the
poor ! ! What value can be set upon the opinion of
such a weathercock ?

LITERATURE.

MILTON'S WORKS—VoI. V.
Macrone, London, 1835.

One of Turner's most gorgeous and imaginative
illustrations, the " View of Ludlow Castle," with the
Rising of the Water Nymphs," embellishes this
Number. The Castle, with its grand illuminated win-
dows, and pictureSque back-ground of wood, and rock,
and river, exceeded by nothing that the painter has
yet attempted on canvas. The other illustration is
L'Allegra," a sketch by Westall, and goes far to
realize our ideas of the laughing heroine of the
finest of Milton's minor poems. The literary
portion of the volume consists of " Comus" and
Sampson Agonistes," which are prefaced by some
pertinent remarks, from the pen of Sir Egerton Brydges,
on Milton's versification.

HISTORY OF ENGLAND Vol. XVII.
Valpy, London,

Contains an account of one of the most important
periods in English history, commencing with the year
1786, and concluding with the year 1794, when the
progress of the French revolution had convulsed the
kingdom from one extremity to the other. Mr.
Hughes, to whom we are indebted for this continua-
tion of Hume's History, is, generally speaking, faith-
ful in his details, though at times he is apt to be too
indiscriminate in his eulogies on the policy of Mr.
Pitt. The volume is adorned with an engraving of
the ,c Battle of the Nile," executed by Rogers, from
the well known design of De Loutherbourg.
