LONDON :
TUESDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER S. 1842.

The Morning Chronicle yesterday, afte
making a series of observations on the many
strange parties into which the community is
divided, sneering at the extreme opinions )f
some, and the pertinacity with which they uee
adhered to, recommended a renewal of political
activity.
" Instead," said our Contemporary, "of that general
kind of apathy which prevails at present—that sulky
indifference which characterises some, and that selfish
indifference which characterises others, we should
like to see something like a movement of activity and
life. Something like an indication that the present
social condition, and future welfare of the country,
are not wholly indifferent to public men or private
individuals."
Who may be meant as sulky and sel-
fish, though not named, we can only guess. It
cannot be the working classes, for they have
recently exhibited great, but mistaken, political
activity in a general and alarming insurrection.
[Their associates, the political Chartists, are and
••;• kfAi.e been in a state of activity too violent for
4.-QNVII perfect safety. The Complete Suffra-
rswhave summoned a convention at Binning-
inurry and they have been lecturing to crowded
andieneeithrOughout the country. Our pages
'have' testifit'd that the ultra-Retbrmers of the
mqroPvliS have
.not been wholly idle. The

Of the Millennarians, of whom
the Chronicle speaks, we have
no information
but if they be the Puseyites, or any members of
the Church, the columns of
the pub l c j ooufr ntahles
every day prove the increasing activity
priesthood. Mr. OWEN and the Socialists, toe,
are by no means asleep. Though the Tories,
the possession of the fruits of victory, ',aye,
of
all
parties, the least occasion to exert them-
selves, yet the proceedings in the municipal
elections, at many of which they have
gained advantages, which the Radicals have
gained on others, and the Whigs seemed to have
gained nowhere, show that the Tories even have
not been idle. The only persons of whom it can
be said with any truth that they look on with
sulky or selfish indiffe •t ,ice' are the leaders of
itiihtoe Whigs,an
igthe hs. T.hey have betrayed the Government
of the Tories, they have placed
; the people under the hoof of their old enemies,
they have contributed
.to bring on the national
;'difficulties and the national distress, and, with
more regard to selfishness than magnanimity, they
now leave the people to help themselves as they
best can. The Whigs see no hope of being
Speedily restored to office by popular support,—
they wait for that possibility till they show them-
selves,
and they are correctly described by the !1
Chronicle as looking on with sulky or selfish in-

difference at the great struggles which the Suf-
fragists, the Socialists, the Free-traders, the
Chartists, the bulk of the people, under different
denominations, are making to improve their social
condition.

We may be asked what would we have the
Whigs do? We will answer. They were de-
feated on a series of measures which they said,
in 1841, and their partisans say now, would have
sustained the revenue, and prevented the im-
position of an Income-tax. The measures of
their opponents are decided failures, and the
Tories are becoming unpopular with all classes.
Now is the time, then, if the Whig measures
would have been so beneficial—if those who pro-
posed them, being , the Ministers, and a great
political party, have still faith in their own wis-
dom, for them to call public meetings, and pro-
voke, as the Chartists with their small means
are doing, a serious public discussion on their old
policy. Let them, if they have faith in it, at
once declare that it shall be the basis of their
operations in the ensuing Parliamentary cam,-
paign. Let them write pamphlets and artieleS
in newspapers, which is more worthy of them as
statesmen than writing ballads about the Ro-
man Mythe, and let them at once appeal to the
country fur support, on the ground that their
measures would save and serve it. They have
money to spare for such objects, and, if they
win, they will be rewarded by large salaries and
patronage. Not one public meeting, however,
have they convened—not one public demonstra-
tion have they attempted. Nor will they do
anything of the kind. In fact, they have no
faith in their own policy. They know that it is
quite inadequate to the exigencies of the coun-
try ; and they know, moreover, that it would ob-
tain no support from any class. If the Whigs,
then, cannot possibly rally the public round the
standard of their past measures, what are they
to do still to remain leaders of the people ?
They must frame a new system of policy.
They must be aware that their old scheme failed,
and they must give it up. What that sys-
tem should be is for them to consider. To
frame it is their business, not ours.. They know
the diseased condition of the country, and they
ought to know what will cure it. How to pro-
mote the national happiness has, we suppose,
been the study of their lives, and; having framed
such a scheme of policy, they ought to bring it
before the public. In the present state of the
representation, the influence of public opinion.
over a sitting and septennial Parliament is, very
great, and if the Whigs wish to obtain . power
they must begin by gaining public opinion. It
is now their business, therefore, as their Oppo-
nents have failed, to lay before the public a large
and comprehensive scheme of policy which shall
be superior to that of the Tories—which shall
give us reform and keep away revolution ;
which shall restore prosperity and contentment;
which shall shadow forth at least the principles
if not the details of measures; which shall gradu-
ally, through a course of years, bring and keep
our institutions in harmony with the continued
progress of society. A few fine phrases about
free trade, such as Lord PALMERSTON sported
and Mr. MAcAuLav hammered out, will not
satisfy the yearnings of the nation. They will
cure no poverty, and lesson no discontent. The
nation requires a well defined scheme of policy,
which shall be as its guiding pillar of flame
for years to come. If the Whigs cannot
or will not lay down such a scheme, and will not
appeal to the public to rally round it, what claim
can they possibly have to the character of leaders
of the nation ?

If they will not or cannot do this, with what
right can they or their organs complain of pub-
lic men being distrusted? Why should the peo-
ple trust those who have deceived them, and
who do not now show them the way out of their
difficulties? Whigs and Tories have all promised
us prosperity and peace,
.and they have all de-
ceived us. The people will put faith in men no
more, whatever they miglit do in well defined
measures. Let the Whigs show us how we may
hope to prevent revolution and secure the pro-
gress of civilisation—how we can give perfect
freedom to industry with the least possible in-
jury to monopolists—how punishments can be
made to prevent crime without being murderous
to the criminal—how the lower classes may be
elevated and ennobled without the higher classes
being depressed—how religion may be promoted
and priestly arrogance held in cheek—in fine,
how all, having one common interest,
may be made freer, wiser, better, and hap-
pier than we now are, and the W higs
will soon rally round such a standard the
bulk of those who now aspire after improve-
ment by isolated or conflicting efforts. If the
Whigs can sketch no such system of policy,
and want ability to make it the common creed
of all reflecting men, what right have they, we
ask again, to put themselves up for national lead-
ers, or pout and sulk because their mere exclu-
sion from offlite is not considered a recommenda-
tion to unbounded popularity ?

The importance of the intelligence from
Affghanistan and China, warrants us in giving
the details at great length. We rejoice to state
that it is generally of a very favourable character,
and that the British forces in both these coun-
taies are carrying on operations with great spirit
and success. By the latest accounts General
NOTT had marched from the west on Caubul
by Ghuznee, and General POLLOCK, with Sir
ROBERT SALE, from the east, for the same
place, with powerful and well equipped armies,
anxious to avenge the treachery of the Alf-
grans and the cruelties inflicted on our
unfortunate countrymen and allies, and no doubt
can exist that the capital of Affghanistan is now
in the possession of the British forces. A ge-
neral opinion seemed to prevail in that quarter,
from the great preparations made by General
Pommel( and the firm determination exhibited
both by the officers and men, that they would
meet with little resistance. The Affghan chiefs
were divided amongst themselves, and the con-
test would be not with the English, but between
one another, in order that the more powerful
nus
might make their peace with h
Commander, by betraying and dteliever Bigriti up
their comrades. It is gratifying, there-
fore, to contrast this aspect of affairs,
with scenes which would certainly have
occurred had the orders of Lord EL-
LENBOROUGII been carried into effect, and
our troops been ingloriously withdrawn from a
country which honour, policy, and character
alike urged us to retain. We trust that opera-
tions all along the banks of the Indus, and in
the interior of the country on the west, will now
be carried on with vigour; and that this great
and navigable river will be made the highway to
the regions in the north of Ilindostan, as well as in
the direction of Candahar and Caubul. By means
of small iron steamers, it could be opened up as
far as Kalabagh, a distance of 1,500 miles, and
afford easy passes into the Affghan territory,
from the ports of Dera Ghazee Khan and Dera
Ismael Kan ; the latter of which is only 150 miles
distant from Ghuznee, and Kalabagh is less than
iOO from Caubul. These two ports are the best
commercial marts on the west banks of the Indus,
and might be of vast service in opening the
trade with the populous regions in the north, as
well as controlling the restless and warlike tribes
on the west of our Indian possessions.
For the intelligence from China we must refer
our readers to the numerous dispatches published
under that head, which they will find well
worthy of perusal. Sir HENRY POTTINGER is now
frightening the " Bright EYE," in good earnest,
and convincing the " Celestials" that they have
entered into a contest of no ordinary character.
Our forces had proceeded up the river Yang-tze-
Kiang, and captured the firrts at the mouth of
the Woosing and the city of Shang-hae, with a
vast number of guns,
having
only two killed andtwentyfils,uesltvaoiunnedd a
wounded. The
iolef
troops, on occupying the city, destroyed the
public buildings, and gave the
extensive grana-
ries to be distributed among
the people. The
Mandarins in the two most f •
le provinces of
China were dreadfully alarmed lest Warrr-Choo-
fon, Nankin, and other important places, should
be taken and sacked, and the mouth of the Great
Canal seized. They evinced a wish to make terms,

and sent for a son of HOWQUA to act as interpre-
ter, but as the British Plenipotentiary suspected
their object was only to retard operations, and
their overtures were not based on conditions.
which he considered satisfactory, he refused
treat with them. Sir HENRY very properly'
seems to think that the EMPEROR is not yet
brought sufficiently to his senses, and that the
only way to accomplish this is to communicate
personally with himself. A proclamation, is-
sued by his orders in the month of June,
breathes the most decided hostility to the " bar-
barians," but makes no allusion to victories or
the valour of his Generals and Admirals. The
capture, however, of Shang-hae, and the
near approach of our troops to the Great
Canal, by which the entire communica-
tion with the most wealthy and populous
cities of the empire might be cut off, may open
his eyes, and finally compel him to ac:.ede to our
just demands. It is said the Russians are busy in
exciting the Chinese against our claims, and even
assisting them with officers. The United States
alit' France have sent frigates to the northern
parts of China to watch the movements, and
expect, no doubt, to profit by our victories. The
scene altogether is one of -the most remarkable
on record and may well attract the attention and
interest of civilised nations.

We gave in our last intelligence from China
to the 7th June, containing a short notice of the
capture of Chapoo, the Government Gazette ac-
count of which we now publish. Our present
dates extend to the 26th July, and notify
further operations, and other all but bloodless
victories. We have also given the Government
Gazette account of the operations in May.

We have received Lisbon news to the 31st
ult„ brought by the Montrose steamer. The
latest proposals of the Portuguese Government,
which were looked upon, indeed, by some as its
ultimatum, had been forwarded home by Lord
HOWARD DE WALDEN. They were not consi-
dered as satisfactory so far as their contents had
transpired, unless they were to be viewed (as
they were, indeed, in the highest quarters), as
merely furnishing a basis for future negotiation.

The French Princes had set off on a tour to
Alcobaca, Batallia, and Coimbra, accompanied
by M. ROUEN. There was a military parade, in
honour of their visit, on the 27th, on Campo Pi-
queno, where the KING and French Princes re-
viewed about 3,000 troops of the Lisbon garrison,
Sir C. NAPIER being present among the General
Officers in the Royal cortege. The QUEEN and
Duchess of BRAG ANZA were present in open car-
riages.

The Portuguese manufactures appear to have
progressed under the encouragement they have
received: the old convents form excellent fac-
tories, particularly as they get them nearly or
quite rent free, and very little money is required
to adapt them for the purpose required. Machi-
nery is allowed to be imported free of duty. It
was believed that a special alteration would be
made in the tariff as regarded Madeira. It was
expected that there would be warm debates on
the tariff question when the Cortes met.

The Paris papers have been received, but with
the exception of the fallowing announcement in
the Sentinelle de la Vicrine, their contents are
unimportant :

" Eight ships of the line to remain armed—viz.,
I'Ocean, le Gemappes, l'Alger, le Marengo, la
Ville de Marseilles (on her passage to Rio Janeiro),
l'lnflexible, in the Levant, and two others amongst
those which are at Brest.

" It is not said whether Admiral llugon will re-
main at the head of this reduced fleet.

" The remaining twelve ships of the line will re-
main in commission within the harbour."

Our private letters state, and are borne out by
the Ministerial papers, that although the idea of
a Customs' union between France and Belgium
had for the moment been abandoned, the KING
Was resolved that it should be resumed, and the
measure carried.

The Journal des Debats states that, according
to the official returns made to Government on
the Ist instant, the population of the kingdom of
France amounts to 34,494,373 inhabitants divided
amongst 363 arrondissements, 2,816 cantons, and
37,040-communes.

The KING and the QUEEN of the Belgians left
Paris t r Brussels on Thursday evening last.
The Tunisian brig of war Scheieu, commanded
by R.ixs M AHOME r DJERRI, cast anchor in the
Toulon Roads on the Ist inst. This vessel waits
the arrival of the BEY'S Envoy, at present at Paris.

CHINA EXPEDITION.—TO all those who wish to
understand the operations of our forces in China, we
recommend Mr. Wyld's admirable map of the scene
of war, where they will see and comprehend the scope
of our movements a thousand times better than by
newspaper descriptions.
Mr. Wyld's map of Affghanistan, Caubul, and the
adjacent countries, where our Indian' armies are em-
ployed, will also well repay the curious (and who are
not?) in these heart-stirring and momentous enter-
prises.

Lord Mountcashel and Captain Fitzgerald, R.N.,
arrived early yesterday at the Brunswick Pier,
Blaekwall, having had a most splendid passage in the
General Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship
Wilberforce, Captain John Stranach, of only eighteen
hours from Antwerp.

MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENS OF FRANCE Th
fromsh,e_
an-
nouncement _ e,
excited considerable attention. A very slight know-
ledge of French history in the reader will assure him
that the Memoirs of the French Queens present fea-
tures of extraordinary interest. We have only to
mention the names of Mary of Anjou, Anne of Brit-
tany, Mary of England, Mary Stuart, Mary Leckzin-
sky, and Marie Antoinette, to bring up a host of the
most pleasing historical associations ; while others,
sueli as Mary de Valois, Mary de Medicis, Anne of
Austria, and Catherine de Medicis, afford no less
striking pictures of the times in which they flourished.
With the " Memoirs of the Queens of France," the
author ha:, we understand, introduced notices of the
Royal favourites, who were not unfrequently of much
greater influence in the State than the contemporary
Queens-consort. An allusion to Diana of Poitiers,
Agnes Sorelle, Gabrielle d'Estrees, the Marchionesses
de Montespan and de Pompadour, the Duchesse de la ,
la Valliere, and Madame de Main tenon, makes this
immediately manifest. The work of Mrs. Bush cannot
fail of being a desirable acquisition to every library in
the kingdom.
SIIIPPING INTELLIGENCE.—The smack Alacrity,
which started last week on a voyage of discovery
round the world, ran aground opposite the Isle of
Dogs. Crew saved. The barge Bungle was seen in
a state of horrible distress athwart the piles at West-
minster Bridge, with loss of one oar, and the other
broken. A hat was picked up a little below, supposed
to be the captain's. The wherry Warspite broke
from her moorings opposite Battersea. Crew in a
state of insensibility at the Red House, and removed
D 9, of the Battersea (Coast) Guard to the
Station. The Playful Polly thrown with her keel
uppermost on the beach. Crew, who had chartered
her for two hours from Searle's, bolted.—Punch.
