French Press and the bombardment of Barcelona
" Of all the events which have furnished subjects for
the extravagant declamations of the French narre
against this country in the course of the last thirty
months, none appear to have produced so violent an
effect in distorting the judgments and disturbing the
Barcelona. To connect this calamity

it evident that the +odes would rather give la
more than all, the Whigs promised, than let go thect
advantages of power and place, to which they raise,
themselves by every species oihypocrisy and fraud.'
The following is from the Herald:—" Lord Auck-
land's advocntes and defenders, repulsed from evert
other point, are once more compelled to justify the in'
vasion of Affghanistan by asserting that Dost Ma-
homed was unpopular, 'and that the exceeding popu-
larity in 1838 of the thrice-ejected Shah, our pen-
sioner Soojah-001-Moolk, excused the assault the late
Governor-General made on a friendly people. If
this plea were as true as it is false, it would not con-
stitute the slightest palliation of Lord Auckland's
offence. What right has the Indian Government to
depose a neighbouring chief because of Ws unpopul
rity amongst his own people ? To exercise any such
power is an act of unmitigated tyranny. Apply
the principle therein involved to the western
world, and all Europe would confederate to anni-
hilate the State that attempted to put it into practice.
We have at the present moment more cause to assume
that Louis Philippe is unpopular in France than Lord
Auckland had for his belief in the unpopularity of
Dost Mahomed; yet, were his Lordship to propose
the invasion of France, his friends and admirers would
not, we presume, be impressed with any very exalted
notions of his sanity. If non-interference in the in-
ternal affairs of European States be the recognised
policy of England, what is there in Asiatic countries
that made interference necessary on the Indian Go-
vernment discovering that a neighbouring Prince was :,.1
disliked ?, The world was not made for England ;and, el
did we indulge in this quarter of the globe in the Is
fantastic tricks Lord Auckland perpetrated elsewhere, se,
the British Empire would be quickly blotted out of ~.0
the map of Europe."
