SECOND EDITION.

most jesuitical shape ; they were drawn upfby Tory
functionaries ; and but for the admirable exposition
of Lord DJ3NMAN and his colleagues, Mr. O'CONNELL
and his friends would have been left to linger in
prison on the verdict of a jury, which every man of
common sense and honesty now admits was not pro-
perly constituted. however, the wrong is redressed,
and we rejoice to find that it gives the old oppressors
of Ireland such annoyance.

In the reply of Sir ROBERT PEEL on Thursday af-
ternoon to the questions of Sir CHARLES NAPIER
and Mr. Mosses DUNCOMBE, we are bound to as-
sume that the Premier stated with perfect sincerity
his conviction that the French and English Govern-
ments had arrived at an amicable adjustment of the
causes of offence—the somewhat threatening differ-
ence.; of opinion—which had arisen between them
in connexion with the affair at Otaheite, and the
bombardment of Tangiers and Mogadore. But as the
Right lion. Baronet absolutely declined to enter into
any particulars of the terms or conditions on which
our neighbours have consented to give us satisfaction
for what he has himself denounced as " a gross out-
rage," in the Otaheite affairs, we have no better
guarantee for the fact than his own impressions of
the cordiality and frankness of the French Cabinet.
We may be allowed, therefore, to return to the con-
sideration of the existing state of our navy, as if
all hazard of a contingency that might call, abruptly
and soon, for its efficient services, were not, of neces-
sity, concluded by the convictions so avowed by Sir
ROBERT PEEL. In doing this we shall not appear to
impugn the good faith of the French Ministry, but
we shall act on the strength of the old maxim, that
" the timeliest wisdom is the best." Now, we desire
to direct the attention of the public—(for all appeals
to the intervention of the official and Executive autho-
rities on this topic have hitherto proved unavailing)—
to the disgraceful manning of our ships, and the in-
evitable tendencies of the system at present pursued
by the Admiralty, to increase and aggravate the dis-
organisation of her MAJEsTx's navy. Some of our
readers may object to the frequency with which we
recur to this topic; but a sense of its vital impor-
tance and our own duty compel us to this proceeding,
and we have no doubt will be found justify us in
acting on that impulse. And it is evident that, of
all the objects of a policy of precaution and foresight,
the efficient manning of our ships of war is precisely
that on which, "to be wise after the event," must con-
stitute the most ridiculous as well as the most pitiable
—the most deplorable as well as the most absurd—of
predicaments. To set about making provision for the
proper manning of ships after they should have been
actually sacrificed, or too disabled to carry their ade-
quate complements from the weakness of their crews,
would exceed in ex post facto impotency the late
sagacity of him who carefully affixed a lock upon his
stable-door after his steed had been already carried off
for want of one.
It is to be remembered that France is neither the
only, nor the most formidable, competitor with which,
in an event that we put, for out present purpose,
quite hypothetically, our navy would have to contend.
We lately showed that, excepting one or two line-of-
battle ships, and a frigate or so on the coast of South
America and on the 'West India station, one other in
the Pacific, and, we believe, a few frigates of the
larger and smaller class in the Chinese seas and the
Indian Ocean, our force in line-of-battle ships was
miserably deficient, assuming them even to be fully
manned. Their total is soon reckoned. At Lisbon,
the Caledonia, 120 guns—but she ought to be the
slag-ship of the Admiral in command at Plymouth!
On the coast of Morocco, the Albion, 90; in the
Mediterranean, the Formidable, 80. Besides these
three abroad, we have at Portsmouth, the Queen,
110—but she ought to be at Sheerness, where she
,hould be bearing the Port-Admiral's flag ; at Ply-
mouth, the St. Vincent, 120—but she ought to be the
flag-ship of the Admiral at Portsmouth. At Chatham
and Sheerness, none ; at Spithead, the noble flag-ship,
Collingwood, 80—but she has taken out what the de-
nizen's of the Queen's Bench Prison used to call a
" rule "—and although returned in the naval muster-
roll as one of the home-station flag-ships, she is
making a little run presently for the Pacific. Thus we
have, for Europe, cis et citra the Straits, three line-of-
battle ships in commission ; at home, six ; whereof
one—the Queen, doing duty for Chatham, Sheer-
ness, and Portsmouth, all at once, has but half of her
proper crew ! A Correspondent of the Times, who
signs himself " Tom Tough," in a well-written letter,
illustrates the system of bungling, improvidence, and
invidiousness on which, what we shall take leave to call,
the business of dispersing, discouraging, and disgust-
ing the seaman force of our navy, is carried on. This
sailor complains as one of those suddenly thrown out
of employ by late reductions in the navy, that, for the
last three months, from 500 to 600 prime seamen
(" able men," in the technical as well as ordinary
sense of the phrase), have been starving about the
purlieus of Portsmouth, vainly awaiting the commis-
sioning of the experimental brigs ;—that numbers of
others who have been, all their lives men of wars,
men, after pawning all they had for mere subsistence,
have been compelled to go into the merchants' ser-
vice, not a few into that of America.
Let us pause, here, to consider the hardship to which
this great, but ungrateful naval country, subjects those
brave fellows, from whose undaunted intrepidity and
never-tiring energy she derives so great a portion of
her grandeur and power in the array of nations. The
very zeal they display in her service, their matchless
activity, coolness, and resolution in the discharge of
their professional duty, by expediting the achievement
of victory, if engaged on war duty, or the completion
)f any given service assigned to them in time of
peace—work to their own disadvantage. They are
paid off with a rapidity proportioned to the vigour of
their operations; and then, too much after the fashion
idopted with those whom Byron calls
' The tools, the broken tools, which tyrants cast away,"
they are left uncared for—unprotected against those
only dangers, the dangers of being ashore, against
which they know not how to defend themselves—un-
provided for against the wretched destitution of that
period at which their confirmed habits of a sea life, and
:heir ignorance of all others, leave them the despoiled
and helpless prey of all the arts wherewith the most
nefarious fraud and wholesale dissipation, surround
old overwhelm and ruin them in the first days of their
inaction on shore. Why should we not provide
isylums and a moderate sort of half-pay for these
iine fellows, and thus accomplish at once the two in-
valuable ends of saving them from those sensual and
legrading habits into which, at present, they are apt
:o plunge with a sort of reckless desperation--in the
very despair of doing any good for themselves, or find-
ing themselves better off by abstaining from them ;
—and of having always in hand as it were—at our
call—in any emergency—a permanent reserve of able
men, from whom certain proportions might be drafted
into our ships of war, and incorporated with a sufli-
-.!ient number of newer or younger hands to com-
plete their respective compliments ? The very ex-
pense, even, of such a scheme, would scarcely exceed
that entailed by our present clumsy, impolitic, and
inadequate modes of advertising, bounty-giving
rimping, sending round steamers to pick men up in
mtports—and, worst of all, occasional impress-
inent. But the result would be to get able hands
Instead of raw landsmen—expert sailors, accustome I
handle great guns as well as sails—and to render
i.he service so popular and desirable, that every un-
imployed able hand should be volunteering to enter
in the first vacancy which might offer. In this way
we should assuredly revive the enthusiasm of the
orce (which was only equalled by its never-failing
taring), that imparted their brightest lustre to the
laurels of DUNCAN, and ST. VINCENT, and NELSON.
We should hear no more of British seamen fighting
under other colours than those of their native country,
or that country wants but one tie more irrevocably
to attach the bravest of her sons to her ser-
vice and her vindication, and that is, the
,nsuring, not alone, for their old age, or for
she physical disability, resulting from wounds and
Injuries sustained in her cause, but for those seasons

subsistence. The charge upon the country for such
provision ought not of itself to stand in the way of the
adoption of some such plan ; for, in the meanwhile
what are the dangers we are incurring in the absence'
uf any such arrangements ? The writer we have
quoted from above, remarks, on the entry of 100 sea-
nen on the dockyard-books, in lieu of 100 labourers,
that good seamen, accustomed to an active life and
ever-changing scenes, would soon grow weary of
such occupation as this plan opens to them. He says

that no able seaman worth having will respond to the
invitation now promulgated to them, to enter on board
, the flag-ships of the Admiral superintendents; for sailors
like to know something of the captain they are to sail
under. But these facts are also fearfully significant.
He talks of the "number of seamen now strolling about
the streets of Portsmouth, who have pawned everything
they have rather than do so, and, by and bye, when
the Admiralty take it into their wise heads to com-
mission some ships, these fine old men-of-war's men
will be refused because their kit is not complete, and
they hare not got a good change of clothing." . . .
" Some years ago, out of twenty-six able seamen who
were paid off from a brig at this port with me, nine-
teen left the port for New York, unable to get
another ship, and are now in the American navy.
This is the way, after John Bull has been put to the
expense of making sailors, they are treated; and it
is a proof of the badness of the system, and the utter
disregard that the Government has for them whc,n
they no longer want their services." We ask, how
the Admiralty propose to get any respectable squadron,
if they had one in commission, efficiently manned,
under their present pedlarising and stop-gap system ?
They know the thing to be impossible. What will
they do, then, to secure an object, the immeasurable
importance of which has just been demonstrated
by the very dangers to which their antiquated
management would have been so utterly unequal ? We
have weathered the Otaheite gale. We have
worked out of the storm that so nearly overtook
us at Tangiers and at ➢logadore. If our Admiralty
are not instantly up and doing, we may be overtaken,
in our present unprepared state, in a tempest blowing
from the direction of Tunis.

The decision of the House of Lords in the case of
the "Irish conspirators"—as they have been called
for the last six months—will, we trust, go far to re-
move the notion so long entertained in Ireland, that
that country had nothing to expect from the justice of
England. The highest Court of Judicature in the
Empire has now proved to demonstration that this
notion is an unfounded one. Justice has been done to
Ireland, and common sense asserted its supremacy by
the unconditional release of men who ought never to
have been found guilty. The news of the decision of
the House of Lords occasioned a great sensation
throughout Dublin the instant it reached that city; the
decision was evidently an unexpected one, and in their
first surprise people seemed scarcely to know whether
they were justified in giving credit to it or not. By
this time the auspicious intelligence must be generally
diffused throughout the sister country; and are we
indulging in too favourable an anticipation, if we say
that it is likely to moderate much of the ill-feeling
and distrust that of late years Ireland has expressed
so decidedly towards England ? Whether it will have
that effect or not, we cannot undertake to say with
confidence ; but we hope it will, and moreover we
hope that it will tend in some degree to check the pro-
gress of the Repeal question, by convincing Irishmen of
all classes that England is by no means such an inve-
terate enemy to their natural interests as they had
imagined. Meanwhile, in what light will Mr. O'CoN-
NELL regard this important decision, which unbars
the gates of the Richmond Penitentiary, and leaves
him free once again to rove with his gun and
his dogs over the mountain steeps of Derrinane,
or listen—to use his own favourite poetic phrase—
to " the murmur of the Atlantic wave that rolls in
unbroken from the free coast of America." Will he
regard the decision with lofty indifference,
or with eager exultation ? Will he be
stimulated by it to make fresh exertions in the
cause of Repeal, or will he quietly lay by for a
while, watch the progress of events, and be guided by
circumstances, ready to renew his agitation the in-
stant he discovers that nothing is to be hoped for
Ireland at the hands of the Conservative Ministry ?
If he be wise, the latter is the course he will adopt,
for Government has already led people to believe that,
during the recess, they will be busy with some reme-
dial measures for Ireland, which they will take the
earliest opportunity of bringing forward next session ;
and it would be scarcely just or fitting—notwith-
standing that they have been so tardy in coming to
some determination on this point—to which, by the
bye, they have been brought evidently less from in-
clination than from the pressure of inexorable ne-
cessity ; it would scarcely, we say, be just or fit-
ting in Mr. O'CONNELL to throw any obstacles in
the way of Government's remedial measures by con-
tinuing the vigorous agitation of the Repeal question
By so doing, he will not only in some degree he
crippling the movements of Ministers, but be fur-
nishing them also with an excellent plea for backing
out of their projected remedies, in case—as is by no
means impossible—they should be smitten with a
sudden fit of decided Toryism. The most prudent
game that Mr. O'CommEnn can play at the present
juncture, is to rest quietly on his oars, and vigilantly
watch the direction that events are taking. If these—
notwithstanding the conciliatory announcement o
Sir ROBERT PEEL towards the close of the last ses•

sion—be unequivocally adverse to Irish interests ;
if it be made undeniably manifest that Ministers can
do nothing, and will do nothing for the welfare
of the sister country, then it will be time enough to
renew the agitation for Repeal—an agitation which
is only justifiable when it is shown to be the last re-

source of national despair. But to agitate that ques
tion just now, when the Ministerial plans are incom.
plete, and may possibly, when matured, turn ou
to be much more efficient than was anti

cipated—what is this but to refuse __
fair

play to Government, and in some degree to
incapacitate them from satisfactorily accomplishing
that which, nevertheless, you most wish they should
accomplish ? By delaying the agitation of Repeal
for a season, Mr. O'CONNELL deprives Ministers of
every plausible pretext of backing out of their reme-
dial projects; he gives them an opportunity of show-
ing their faith by their works, and at the same time

he satisfies that love of fair play which is a conspi
cuous feature in the English character.

Madrid journals of the 30th ult. have been received.
According to letters of the 17th of August, some
of them received at Gibraltar from Oran, the Moors
were again assembling an army on the frontiers, near
the camp of Marshal BuGEAuD, who, it is said, had
ordered fresh reinforcements to join him from Oran.
This, however, is very improbable. Intelligence from
Cadiz to the 26th had reached Madrid, but no men-
tion is made of the Prince de JOINVILLE and the
French squadron. We are therefore to infer that a
paragraph which appears in some of the Paris jour-
nals, announcing the Prince's arrival ttiere on the
24th, is incorrect.

Intelligence of the acquittal of Mr. O'CONNELL
and his fellow-prisoners was received in Paris by
telegraphic dispatch, on Thursday, and excited uni-
versal joy. The Speech of the QUEEN, and the result
of the deliberation in the Cabinet Council on the
Otaheite affair, were looked to with much interest.
The article put forth by the Times of Tuesday, an-
nouncing the probable settlement of the misunder-
standing between the two countries, had been re-
ceived by only one journal ; and, as far as we can
learn, had given much satisfaction to the friends of
peace. Whether the manner in which the affair has

been arranged will please the war party, is another

matter. All the articles in the Opposition, and some
of the Government journals on Tuesday, were written
in the belief that the ultimatum of the French
Government would be rejected. The Globe, M.
GUIZOT'S paper, is an exception, and contains an
article which leaves no doubt that it had received
some communications which could be depended on.
That journal says :

" Our readers know that we have never ceased to
believe, not only in the preservation of peace between
France and England, but also in the maintenance of good
harmony and a cordial understanding between the two
Governments. We still have the same confidence, and,
indeed, adhere to it more firmly than ever. As the
question becomes stripped of its extraneous complica-
tions, in proportion as the men who have to resolve it
are relieved from the pressure made upon them by the
Chambers and the journals, they have drawn nearer to a
mutual understanding, and daily made steps to concilia-
tion ; and, we venture to say, that the incident which
has so much occupied the public mind is on the point of
receiving that solution which is so earnestly desired by
all the friends of order and peace in both countries.
We are bound to congratulate the two Governments on
the good sense they have shown in suffering themselves
to be guided, not by an exaggeration of the point of
honour, but by a calm, intelligent, and elevated ap-
preciation of the serious interests of two great nations,
in whose concord is involved the peace of the world.
