statement, but thousands will read and sympathise with
it. " The time is come to do something," is now a very
general phrase. Already the monopolists are very. in-
tensely hated, and the only question is, by what means
they can be compelled to yield. The upper classes assert
that they govern, not fur their own benefit, but for the
benefit of the masses ; and when the masses assure
them that misery, not happiness, is the result of
their rule, they must, from shame, • give up their
ill-contrived measures. Their Government for the be-
nefit of the body of the people has not answered:- It is a
complete failure. The multitude are immersed in griev-
ous distress, and the State is endangered. They must
begin to doubt the efficacy of their system, and, shrinking
back alarmed, if they have any shame left, they ought
to allow some other system to be tried. If they are re-
solved to pursue their ruinous career, at whatever cost to
the people, they must not he surprised if T.IIINTONS
spring up in every quarter of the land, and preach hatred
to the aristocracy.
People are evidently tired of appealing to the justice
or the compassion of the aristocracy, and now they talk
of appealing to their fears. This may do some good.
The aristocracy commit injustice by means of legislathin
with a view of obtaining wealth and power ; and when-
ever they find that their wrong-doing is endangering
their wealth and power—.if not before—they will be
ready, and even anxious to alter their course.
As long as they find a shield for their rapacity in the
respect of the public at large, as long as their unjust
proceedings are dignified by the name of the Consti-
tution, and under that name held up to public reverence,
so long will they have irresistible motives fin. Oppressing
those who invite oppression. But the first step to put
an end to their power, which depends on public opinion,
is taken when they are publicly described as worthy
only of contempt and hatred.

Deputations from the Woollen and Linen Yarn Manu-
facturers have waited on Sir 11. PEEL to induce him to
remonstrate with the French and Prussian Governments
against an increase in the duties on linen yarn, and on
woollens. But over these Governments Sir B. PEEL
may have no influence whatever. lie is not Prime
Minister there as well az here. The march of our

their wailing will rather encourage the present policy
of France and Prussia than check it. We endeavoured
to point out, the day before yesterday, that the
duties levied in foreign countries, which are beyond
our control, are much less influential than those
levied by our own Government, which are within our
control. Wee infer, therefore, that the deputations, and
those who send them, would act more rationally, and be
more likely to benefit themselves in the end, were they
to confine their solicitations to what Sir ROBERT PEEL
can do at home. That the total abolition of the Corn and
Provision-laws wouldcompensate for the increased dutieS

saying that it is not desirable to .prevent other nations
from levying duties on our commodities, but it is much
more desirable not to levy duties our.-A,Aves that are more
injurious to our trade than the duties levied by foreigners.
By correcting our own vicious system, too, we may ex-
pect that other nations will follow oar example.

The New Tariff Bill was read a second time in the
House of Lords on Tuesday. The number of Non-Con-
tents, notwithstanding the dire menaces of the Dukes of
RICHMOND and BUCKINGHAM, was only, four ! had the
Bill been brought in by Lord Mmaouartes Administra-
tion, more than two hundred Peers would have voted
against it. It is not measures but tx.en that
sway the judgment of their Lordships. Load and me-
nacing in their tone towards the Whig Premier, they
whine out an humble assent to the slightest command-
ing gesture of their dread master, Sir ROBERT PEEL.
For such an assembly it is impossible for the country to
entertain the shadow of respect.

Advice& from Constantinople of the 17th ult. state thrt
three of the five great Powers, namely, Austria,
France. and England, have resolved to adopt force to
compel Turkey to remove the present Governor or
Syria, and to afford adequate protection to the Chris
tian inhabitants of Lebanon. The Conference at which
this resolution was adopted was held at the French
Ambassador's Palace at Therapia, at which the Repre-
sentatives of the five Powers were present. The Eng-
lish, French, and Austrian Ministers, represented. suc-
cessively that they had exhausted all dignified and be-
coming means of remonstrance—that the Divan treated
their complaints with silent contempt, or only replied to
them by prevaricating evasions, and that nothing re-
mained but either to desert the Syrian Christians to the
cruellest brutalities, and thus ea“ a stain upon the
Christian name, or effect their deliverance by force. The
former alternative could not be entertained for ao

instant by the Sovereigns of Austria, France, and
England, and therefore nothing remained but to
coerce the Porte into the performance of its engage-
memu respecting its Syrian subjects. The Russian and
Prussian Ambassadors disapproved of this course, with-
out direct and positive instructions from their respective
Courts: They were prepared to go all lengths with their
colleagues in the way of remonstrance, but coercive mea-
sure involved serious consequences, which they were not
prepared to encounter. Russia has two motives for
di dining to co-operate with England, France, and Austria.
By remaining neutral she secures to herself the gratitude
of the Porte. She contrives to have it believed that she
is sincere in her guardianship of the Turkish empire, and
thus throws the Turkish authorities off their guard.
Trusting to the great influence of her co-religionists in
Turkey and Syria, she hopeS to benefit by every hostile
step taken by the other Powers. Her next reason for not
interfering is her dread of establishing a precedent which
at some future day Europe might deem applicable to, the
case of Poland. The great Powers are not more bound
by conventions to maintain the liberties of Syria, than
all Europe is bound by the Treaty of Vienna to preserve
the nationality of Poland. Be these matters as they
may, the Representatives of Austria, France, and
England were not deterred from their purpose, and on
the 10th ult. secret instructions were sent to Malta,
ordering, as is supposed, a strong naval force to proceed
forthwith to Beyrout. The present grand Vixier, IzzET
PACHA, has lost the confidence of the Foreign Ministers,
and the worst measures are anticipated from his con-
tinuance in office. The following character of this
Minister is from the Constantinopolitan corre:.pondence
of the Morning Post, dated the 17th ult.:—

Improving on the traditional maxims which heretofore go-
verned the diplomacy of the Porte, and which tended to banish,
from its intercourse with other nations, all confidence and
kindly feeling, and, in short, everything hat cements the union
of man and man, or nation and nation, Izzet Paella has, in
-all his relations with them, displayed a bad faith, to which
the Porte, from motives of self-respect, was hitherto a stranger;
while, from the native malignity of his disposition, he has suggested
an exhibition of ingratitude which has lowered beyond redemption
the tharacter of his Government, and which coubionly have been
prompts d by a man like himself, who (the, fact is well known) had,
among other atrocities, wantonly murdered a personal bene-
factor. And yerthis man has his admirers among Christians
and Europeans. Their admiration must have its source in a
feeling somewhat akin to the morbid sympathy now so, gene-
rally betrayed towards criminals in England, and which, in their
case is the more sublime, that certainly no felon, who ever
darkened the threshold of Nerigate, or whose, deeds-have
blackened the pages of its calendar, could for a moment have I
compared, fur the number, variety, and enormity of, his of,
fences, with the miscreant who is now Grand Vizier.

According. to' the latest accounts from Syria the whole
country was overrun with the Albanians, whom the
GRAND VIZIER pledged himself to the English Ambas-
sador, were not to be allowed to pass beyond the walls
of Acre. Murder, rapine, and outrages, too shocking
to name, are said to be daily perpetrated by them with
impunity. There is no protection in the country for
life or property beyond the walls of the Consular esta-
blishments. We fear it will not be otherwise while the
sovereignty of Syria is in the hands of the Porte. There
is no disguising the fact that the Ottoman power seems
absolutelyworn out. While the rest of the world is pro-
gressing, Turkey stands still, resting one hand upon the
sword, and the other upon the Koran. The promulga-
tion of the Hatti Scheriff promised a great reform in the
government of Turkey, but the movement was rather
the result of electric shock than the action of a body
abounding in good health and spirits.
The following extracts from a letter from Constanti-
nople, dated the 17th ult., contain the latest miscella-
neous news from the Turkish capital :

Private reports had, however, been brought,
these gallant officers were detained in steictconfine statingt that
not permitted the use of pens and paper. It is hop; confinement,
news of successes, which have undoubtedly crowned our arms
in Caubul, will contribute to their release from the hands of
the capricious and tyrannical Khan, whese ingratitude to these
officers is upon a par with his barlArity. At the present
moment, various cases containing valuable presents, consisting
of useful articles, are now waiting at Teheran to be conveyed
to Bokhara. Mr. Shakespeare- has succeeded at Khi„ in
obtaining the freedom of all the Ru'sian slaves, and it is
hoped that Mr. Abbot will he equally successful in procuring
the release of the Persians.

There is very little news in the French papers
apart from the extrac.rdinary despatch intelligence,
published in The Suss of yesterday. That little re-
lates, for the most part, to the elections, with the ex-
' option of the follovirfing telegraphic despatch from

Africa, which appears in the official columns of the
Moniteur

" THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF THE FRENCH POSSESSIONS
IN AFRICA TO THE MINISTER OF W.

4' Maytag, Juxic 30.—Tbe column from Medal has
a second time destroyed the fortifications, partly rebuilt,
of the fort of Boghar. All the tribes on the route,
and even at a distance, have submitted. This division
has brought- back one piece of cannon and a number of
deserters from the regular troops of Bakani, which were
completely destroyed. Our troops return because they have
no more enemies to combat. All the chiefs of the tribe of
Herd Meussa made their submission yesterday at Algiers. The
entire East appears disposed to follow the same course. Com-
mercial relations are being established rapidly."
As the election struggles draw nearer, the violence
of the different organs of parties increase. They at-
tack the partisans of each other tooth and nail. The
Ministerialists are taunted as the tools of Eng►land ; the
partisans of the Opposition are branded as the enemies
of all order, regicides, revolutionists, and terrorists.
These are hard names, equally undeserved on both sides.
OKAN, JUNE 23.—The Etna steamer, which arrived on the
20th from Algiers, brought orders for the 2d regiment of the
line immediately to embark for Bona. The first battalion of
that regiment embarked accordingly on hoard the Etna i.nd the
Tartars steamers, which left during the night.
The ;mast complete tranquillity prevailzt in the provinces,
and the communications between Oran, Mascara, Mostaganem,
and Tlemcen, are perfectly free.
Men are going to cut the hay in the valley of the Tlelat, to
which a company of infantry has been sent.
The Volage brig, which arrived in the road yesterday, from
Cadiz, Gibraltar, and Malaga, announces that the Jena of the
line and the Africaine frigate continue to cruise on the coast of
Morocco.
