[Morning Post.]

F9ch is tlw extreme 2ea.l of the Whigs in the

ca'.7.3e of universal liberty, that it has rendered
• them lukewarm with regard to some of the dearest
• and most valuable interests of their own country.
This comprehensive, or rather discursive' benevo-
le,ncd, is often at. variance .with the affections
avid duties of a patriot ; and a heart which- roams
fiver the wide circle of the human race can-
Dot v2ry warmlj for the spot which ought to
-
be tha object Of its first attachments. The course
n
of o:icy. which the great lurninarieS the p-
r
no.sition recommend with respect to the affairs
of Naples, shews that. the peculiar interests of
• ,-,7;,a,d receive from them only a partial consi-
deration, and occupy buta small:space in the vast
ra.age of their benevolence. -The interference
--.4l7ich they so strenuously urge might interrupt
tie blessings of petice; and disturb the rela-
tiOrs•of commerce, on the part of this country.;
at least it would" inevitably occasion an 'aug-
- mentation of the public expenditure ; for a re.--
mor-.ltrance would be a feeble check without mi-
litary demonstrations, and only• expose this Go,
7errment to ridicule. The 'Whigs have: invaria-
bly_ condemned the, scale of .eipetise adopted by
Mini7Aers, as much too large, and have asuni-
iorrniy (10crihed it as the primary and chief
• ccurce of. the evils, which, according. to them,
press with an almost intolerable weight upon
the country. " Ye.t;the plain object of all their tie-
Clarnation do the subject Of• it apes, is to add
to this suffocating 'weight ; and to secure to
the Lazzaroci of Nr,ples the rights and privi-
leges of freemen, which, from previous habits
of thinking and reeling,,they are so ill prepared
to enjoy, they would increase the discontent, by
zddlng to the burdens of this 'Country. We
prize as highly, and love as warmly, the cause of
rational liberty as the Whigs, and would feel as
Much pleasure at seeing its benefits communicated
to °tint' nations; yet we would not wish -to see

our Government take Up the profession of a
knight-errant, and become the declared redresser
of political wrongs. It. is a commission at best
of a doubtfiil characier, and we might expend
our last blood and treasure without really bene
fiting the party for whom we should make this
sacrifice.

[alo-rnitzg Chronicle.] •
It is witlfthe greatest pleasure that we hail, in
the speeches on Sir J. Mackintosh's motion re-
specting Naples, the return of some of the lead-
ing Members of the House of Commons to the
ancient principles of true Biitisit Foreign Po-
licy. The speeches of Mr. Wilberforce, Mr.
S. Wortley and Mr: Ward, will be read with
the 'deepest interest ; and the :tore to as an
opportunity still fortunately exists of giving
practical effect -to the wishes atci*ed by
those Gentlemen, and of still sayingone
half of the Neapolitan kingdom from the
gripe of Austria. EVen if there should be no
hope of preventing that ambitious Power from
taking. possession of Naples, we know that in the
neighbourhOod,of Naples there is -a British naval
force already assembled amply sufficient to pre-
vent her seizing on - Sicily. Now, then, for the
sincerity of Ministerial condolence over the fate
of Sicily ! Ministers (particularly Lord Liverpool,
'on Earl Grey's 'motion) have poured forth the
most pathetic strains in commiseration Of Sicily
for the loss of her ConstitUtion. Will they, now
stir a finger to save her ? They are in full time to
dispatch a messengerto Sir W. A'Court, with or-
ders to remonstrate against any attempt on the part
of Austria.to send troops to that island. They are
in time to order the comtnander of our squadron. to
frustrate, if necessary, any military enterprise to
take possession of it. Let them do this, which
it is in their power to do—which if they have but
the half of an English heart amongst them they
would do—let them do this, and then we shall
admit that they -have done something to retrieve
the national character, and to remedy the mis-
chiefs of their hitherto imbecile truckling to the
Holy Alliance. If they 'do nothing, they must
confess themselVes, in the face of Europe, to"
be an inefficient set of drivelling placemen, utterly
unfit to direct the affairs of the meanest parish
in England.

[British Press.]
Lord Castlereagh did not meet Sir James Mac-
kintosh's motion respecting the affairs of Naples
fairly, when he represented it to the House of
Commons as a' motion involving a censure upon
his Majesty's Government, instead of treating
it, as what it really was, a motion for further
information. The Noble Lord and his col-
leagues have already practised this device
with admirable success in the several ques-
tions submitted to the House of Commons
connected with the prosecution instituted against
the Queen, and 'they seem resolved 'to pur-
sue it. It is an instance of skill in Parliamentary
tactics with which, fre•.n long experience, Lord
Castlereagh is intimately acquainted ; but' the
expedient, however serviceable it may prove to
the Ministers, cannot fail of doing an injury to
the Country. It will' become impossible to col-
lect_ the sense of either House of Parliament
upon any topic submitted to their consideration,
for the discussion, no matter upon what point
instituted, will be governed by a secret reference
to the question of Ministerial stability, and the
decision of the House • will tell—not the senti-
ments of the majority upon the matter appa-.
rently in debate—but their judgment respecting
the propriety of changing the Members of the
Cabinet.

[Arew Times.]
We perfectly agree with the independent and
highly honourable Members who raised their
voices in solemn protest against the principle of
allowing a triumvirate of Monarchs to prescribe
forms of Government to all the rest of Europe;
which would indeed be merely establishing
a Triform Napoleon, in the place of the
Despot who has, been overthrown. But that
principle being distinctly disavowed on all
hands, the practical question still remained,
whetbeeNinisters were bound to remonstrate
against the advance of the Austrian troops Upon
Naples. On the part of Ministers, the argument
was simple. It does not become a nation like Bri-
tain, said they. to remonstrate, unless she be resolv-
ed to support her remonstrance in case of need by
ar-us. Nov, we are not prepared. to say, that the
advance of the Austrian troops upon Naples would
justify us in going to war with Austria. We offer
no opinion on the conduct of that power; re-
serving to ourselves the right of judging it
hereafter on fuller information ; but in the mean
while we think neutrality the wisest course to be
pursued by Great Britain. On the -.other hand,
taking the arguments of the Whigs on Wednesday,
tagether wWI those which they • had previousiy
urged, to wbat did they amount? Briefly to this,
that the - C.; state
Atntry mao extreme misery
and distresl--that the Finances are ruined.—.
Now, is this the time, therefore, to break with our
Allies—to rush into a Continental War—to attack
a Coalition which has " two or three• hundred
'thousand bayonets" ready to support its preten-
sions.—And why are we to encounter all these
difficulties. Why, truly, to sanction the Neapo-
litan Rebellion !

[Morning lierald.]
The debate of Wednesday in the House of
Commons, has by this time produced a deep im-
pression throughout the country respecting the
question of Naples.- The minority was so large,
In proportion, an comprised individuals of such
unequivocal impartiality, or rather,' who must
,havelieen.powerfully influenced by the merits of
the case, to conquer their bias towards the Ad-
ministration„that it may be considered a decisive
expression of the opinion of. the nation. It is
a singular incident in the, history of Parliament,
that not.one Member defended the attack upon
Naples. We suspect that Ministers themselves
have a much stronger
.opinion against the Allies
than they think proper, or indeed, would be pro-
per for them to express; and improbable as the
thing may appear, and as we .think it,. we heard
yesterday from persons not deficient is judgment,
or the means of information, that serious obstacles
to "the march to Naples," had recen al been rais-

ea, and by the British Government ; but we
have no such hope. Austria has a hankering to
regain her sway in Naples—for the kingdom of
Naples was little more than a province of Aus-
tria, governed by the Austrian General Nugent,
from the restoration to the recent revolution.
