vourablp to this country or,otherwtse, is ,teiz4d by
the Opposition as,a grounik for attaching the Admi-,
nistrationi‘it )s not surprising that ,the alteration
whiet is stipintsed to have taken plac4. in the tlispo-.
sitioniof the Court of Palermo, should be urged by.
these Gentlemen as a subject of accusation• againsi
the. British Ptivernmeot.

" no longer attempted to be oncealed," sip
the Morning CArdnick, ",that the Couft.of sitily is
hostile to this Country, and we are now Obld by the
of 146:extriioidi nary (Ala ngeft Init'has
taken place), As it a .miraele had.: been
,Suddenly ef-
feoe4Laltliough every one in tile: least acquainted
With: tbe state of: Sibily, know long since; that,
.without.some strong and deeisi‘.e measures .on the
part of our. Government; the very consequences
that it appeals have at letigtlt ensued, must, follow
the persisting iti the'system bitlierto Alec! ui,on, in
the saute manner as a certain eflee t. must be in°-
, dutecl .by any given cause."

. .
We wish very flinch that the Riper in ryeition
I.lcl been a little more• explicit upon this:ppint,
and had. eXpl.iine.l to us: what it means by " the
strong and decisive measures" Win.ch'it rccutuntends.:

It c':innot mean measures for, the defence of Sicily,
because even I.IIuRAT himself must acknowledge
that :our measures' have bten
,qUite strotig and de.

cissive er4ough: for I hit purpose, It cannot mean
• .
that we ought to have taken .stroug and, deci-
sive measuro with regard to.. the S'xitiau Govern-
ment, because those who dirclaitned so loudly'
againsta. supposed 'interference with tbe internal
government of France; our enemy, could never re
cemmetid such a measure with respect to-Sicily; CIUr
.ally. We al'enot giving any opinion upon the tight or

propriety of such an interterence we are merely
contending 'that the Opposition cannot, with any
'regard to consistency, reconarnend anal a theasuie.

But kt •liaid thiat.tlA,,.systear.NOickhie been adopt.
ed by th 4 country towards Sicily; must have pro.
Auced the consequences which have ensued. Now

we really cannot ,see why a stria adherence to our'
engagements with the Sicilian oyernmentr—why,
the must-liberal assistance, and the-mostetficacious
.proteCtion .affortled to that Gavernment, should
have inspired it with hostile feelings tovvardt
this country.. are, there Tore, utterly un-
able to discover this crinnetiOn'between the Caine
and , cad which the Cliroizicie speaks of. But
we are attacked for having said that .the con-
nexion by marriage between BIJONAPAIITeiand the
Queen of SICILY may live,had some etTeCtin pro
ducing a change in the disposition in the Court of
Palernto.H. We do not perceive any thing very ab,
surd in such a supposition ; but then we . ate'
asked, did not Ministers knoW 'of this: connexion.
before ? :and did Ministers send'out Lord ,WILLIAbr
ity,NTINCts without any . instruCtions applicable
to the actual slate of atfairs ? Without waiting for
an answer ,to this question—without knowing the
aClual state of': affairs in 'Sicily, without knowing
• what LMd W.I3ENTINCK'S instruetions
Without knowing the real cause of his Lordship's
return. so Ebgland, the Morning Chronicle, without
hesitation, and without mercy, proceeds to condemn
the present Ministers for misconduit: Such is the
candottr, and-such the consistency, of the party
•
they acknowledge thothselves ignorant of the merits
of the,caie, and the same
.moment take upon
themselves to pronounce a decisive judgment. .
