:;,ve Liven at considerable length the
•4 •
Wspatches and correspondence relative to
Briti- affairs in the East. Emhracing as they
do srrli a vast surface of country, extending from
Chil:a on the East, o Affghanistan on the West,
a u;f:.;aitce of dearly six thousand miles,. the
ey,qt-t ,;itre.: of a multifarious character, but on
tl4e:v„r4e av satisfactory. Since fresh instruc-
tionn i,td b€en sent out to India new vigour has '
beeti :aspired into the Governor-General. He
was t.). leave Allahabsld towards the* end of
and proceed by Delhi to Simla,
at6l:;,,,,,ence probably to Ferozpore: for the
pec4(,„4 i
,inspecting the troops collecting in that
quar;-,T, mid also tor communicating-more speedily
with English Generals in Affghanistan. The
arm:. ohsemation, which will amount to fifty
men, it; placed under the command of
Sir APITCR, an Indian officer of some
repute, who, we trust, will rival his
naine 'a;:.e, and render the name as celebrated in
India as it is on the Syrian coast. L. ap-
pears that the selection is highly approved
or thc army in general, and that
great c;tutidence is placed iu his military skill
a:nd jidg,ntent. For what purpose this army is
assc:::bing, no correspondent can tell, as Lord
Ei.r.:.::_;3n oucn, to the surprise of many, keeps
the ec:ec 'wonderfully well, but it is generally be-
liev.!Li to have two objects in view—to give moral
strength to the operations against Caubul, as well
as tu itch some expected movements in the
,;b, around the frontiers of which it is
chietly -to be collected. Fortunately for
all these movements, the rest of our posses-
sions,. in India, as well as the adjoining
Bt-lit(;s, are quite tranquil. We regret that affairs
China display much less vigour, and that
qwiLr.i-, no doubt, to the want of troops, Chusan,
alsa Ningpo, with the exception of a small
garr;son, are to be evacuated. Had a few of the
regiments, which for years have been lying idle
in Ca.lada, been sent to that quarter, the Chinese
s''ar.y.•o,iild have exhibited very different results.
Let trust, however, now that our relations
with America are placed on an amicable footing,
that a new system will be adopted, and that by
dispatching all the forces that can be spared, and
by exhibiting the same spirit and activity as
displayed in the West,. the differences between
this country and China will be brought to a
speedy conclusion. •

Tier soreness of the Tory journals towards Sir
ROW. 1T PEEL still continues to be conspicuous

in elef: diurnal lucubrations, notwithstanding
their
,evident anxiety to keep it under. When-
ever they can plant a safe hit they never fail to
do sn, and sometimes they even borrow the soft,
triel:(!ly language of compliment in order to con-
vey the bitterest sarcasm. Thus a Morning Con-
iemporary, in an article on the Church Extension.

queq :on, s:tys:—" Few men, be their opinions
ConFervative or Radical, doubt that Sir ROBERT
Las a very just and sound concep-
tion u 1 the wants of the country ; few hesitate

in aeknewledging the Premier's ability and great

judgmi.4' ft; but vthere is, notwithstanding, a ge-
• .nerat4esitation in anticipating good measures
at,,Sir:lt.. PEEL'S hands, because of his continual
dalEance with that ' unclean' beast, expediency,
r:," be it remembered, has brought the
councry,' to its present condition. Sir R. PEEL
is dian'otless surrounded by difficulties, but the
greatness of statesmen consists in their conquest
Of cl:fli:;a1 ties ; and expedients and compromises

obsecved, that under the plausible guise of coin-
pliweiti. our Contemporary here adroitly con-.
tai v isOlAvsinuats the most stinging invectives ;

and at the very moment when he is expressing
the u: most, respect nit; the Tory Premier, as
statesman who " has a just and sound conception
of ti.c wants of the country," he accuses him of
" a c,,,ntinual clulliance with that unclean beast;
expediency"—in other words, of being a mere
temporising expediency-monger ! " Call
yon this backing your friends?" But this is not
the worst. Sir R. PEEL, itseems, isnot only a time-
serve:--an obsequious waiter on the chapter of
accidents—but, hints our Contemporary, there is
a natural distrust of him even among his own
rail)• a general hesitation in anticipating
good measures at his hands !" So, the " hesita.
itiorrto place confidence in the Premier is not
;partial, but "general"—not confined exclusively
to his own adherents, but shared equally by all
of the community! Why, this is worse
,and %-cnse ! ,We ourselves have often spoken in
.terni.., anything but laudatory, of Sir R. PEEL;
,Put NVe know not that we have ever used lan-
bitter and so sarcastic as that which we
have dust quoted from our Tory Contem-
porarj'. We have frequently said that he
:trual; led too much to expediency ; but we
vever ,ztid that he was generally distrusted by
n try men. We thought at least that his own
party confided in him ; but we are now assured
(A.hat they do not ; and this assurance we have on
the best authority—namely, one of the most in-
iluential of the Tory organs. From the abuse
-tire :s now so constantly lavished on him by his
own heretofore adherents, we begin to entertain
.qu4e a litvourable opinion of Sir ROBERT PEEL,
lOr.lilirely there must be some redeeming quali-
ties i.i thut statesman whom prejudiced, purblind
-Torvi-it-considers undeserving of its confidence.

it a:i‘;:.,ars that the • GOvernment had imposed
such o:hyrous conditions on the contract for the
quiellver mines of Almaden, that no capitalist

" 11,:t oily leading articles of interest in the

from :geria: Both the (-tonsil tutionnel and the

• t P. wrier Fi.ancais, after severe remarks
111-' • "
cief,'confluct of the Government in delaying
'':_the,..p„4blic4tion of the dispatches, has the fol-
public mind may tranquillise itself. The

success of our army in Africa has not been inter- t
rupted, and the Arabs will no longer seriously con-
tend against the domination of France. The affair
of the 19th and 20th of September, was a military
imprudence which the valour of our troops and the
skill of their chief has gloriously repaired. We
may regard this unforeseen but glorious en-
counter as to its results as having augmented
our authority in Algeria. If some tribes, whose
territories were deemed unassailable and who had ef-
fectually resisted Abd-el-Katler himself, have not
been able, under all the advantages of a surprise, to
shake the steadiness of our soldiers if the losses
these tribes have sustained., have spread, as General
Changarnier affirms, desolation through their country,
we may well believe that they are half reduced to
subjection, and the trial they have made of their
strength is not likely to be renewed."
La Presse states that M. DE LA -NGSD9RF, the-
French Minister to the Court of the Brazils, has
been specially sent there to prevent the renewal
of the commercial treaty concluded between
Great Britain- and that country in 1827, and which
is to expire on the sth of November next.
The weather had become fine, but was still
cool in France. The vintage was proceeding fa-
vourably.

The Echo Tournaissen states, that the cold had
been so intense in the north of France for the
last few days, that " the swallows which had not
taken their departure fell lifeless to the ground,
and were picked up by the peasantry in clusters
of six or seven." •
The French Government has received a tele-
graphic dispatch from Bayonne, announcing
that the Spanish Cortes are convoked for the 14th
of November.
