There is an article to-day in the Morning Chronicle,
representing the condition of things in ow manufacturing'
•dist&ls, IS, " upon the whole, TAVOIT RA SLR 1"
We are at a loss to comprehend by what mental
process our contemporary can have superiadnoed
in himself such a recklessness of notorious fact, all was
necessary to make this hardened and thrice-brawn as-
sertion. Why, he knows that not only is the distress in
.our imunilivctruing districts unprecedentedly terrible, but
that in those districts—and this only in common with tb"
agricultural population, who are starving dro—the Mate
of the popular mind has reached even to a dangerous ex-
citement. We cart assure the Morning Chronicle,
that it is not by the suppression of truths which
it is so vitally important should be known, that
,the real interests of the country can be served, or
the catastrothe to• which it tends be averted. On the
contrary, it is this misrepresentation of the actual condi-
tion of the community—this dishonest concealment of
the periclitation of the common-wealth—which, quite as
much as the difficulties and distresses which pervade It,
will conduce to bring society to disorganisation, and break
up the civil fabric in general bankruptcy and popular
confusion. For if those, to whom the charge of
national conservation is assigned, be kept in Ignorance of
the national danger, by what witchcraft is it expected
that the State shall save itself ? We have seldom seen an
article in any journal, more deliberately wicked, than
that on which we have just commented; and we lament
it the more, that it makes its appearance in columns law

suspected of prepossessions against the people than
the generality of our contemporaries.
We shall keep our eye upon the Morning Chronicle,
for the sake of that community which we once thought
it incipable of deceiving. We know his principles to
bejn the abstract, pure ; but it grieves us much, to
see them adulterated with such a pernicious leaven, for
the furtherance of the unclean interests and narrow pur-
poses of Party. Let the Country beware of Party.

The project of FlSElCengaging the PACIIA of
Fgypt in its meditated attack on Algiers, is ingenious in
itself, and of high interest to this country. We hers see
the renewal of those designs, which the Cabinet of Ver-
sailles has entertained with regard to Egypt for more than
a century, and the developensent of the SECRET TREATY
which we know to exist between the two countries.
Let not the Noble Dust imagine, therefore, that
while his friend, M. Da POLIONAC, appears to
gb hand in hand with him in his other mea-
sures, that, as a French Minister, he, for one
moment, loses sight of a project long cherished by all
his predecessors. Being pressed for time, we shall only
add, that the scheme of a Freneh naval and military force
co-operating with the Egyptians in a plan of conquest,
is one of the greatest novelties of the present day, fertile
as it is in extraordinary events. We should say to the
noble DUKE...." Look toil

There is a report of aTh7o=. candidate having started
up for the Sovereignty of Greece, in the person of Prince
CARIGNAN°, presumptive heir to the throne of Sardinia.
There are many reasons for believing that this rumour is
not altogether destitute of foundation. As a liberal, no
wonder that M. METT ERN ten should give every en-
couragement and support to the project. But there is
another hid very powerful motive for it. The Duke of
Moony*, a devoted creature of METTERNICH'S, has
long sought to set the presumptive heir aside, and secure
the succession for hiniself. Our readers are aware that be-
sides being at the bead of the Espionage and police system
of Italy, he •is the richest of the Italian Princes. To say
that Austria has no influence in the diplomatic intrigues of
Europe, proves excessive ignorance on the part of those
who mate the assertion. There is no Cabinet of the
Continent, that expends such vast sums for bribing Mi-
nisters, Ambassadors, and Secretaries of State, as that of
Vienna ; whose diplomatists—while they are only second
to those of Russia—are infinitely more astute and ta-
lented than the same Class in France and England. It
is a remarkable fact, that at this moment there
is not an individual employed in the legations of the
two most powerful States of Europe, whose talents
exceed mediocrity. In many instances, we need not say
they are hr below it. What is the natural consequence
why, that neither the Ministers of England nor France
possess any real influence, out of their own territories.
'Witness the destruction of Turkey, and the Treaty of
jedrisispvlso—witness the disgraceful fact of our suffering
Spain—the most corrupt and impotent of all Staten, ex-

To return to the subject with which we set out, it is

amusing to perceive that while the writers of city articles
e. the agents of stock jobbers—are mead% that
" every thing is arranged for the departure of Prince
LEOPOLD," all the accounts from Paris sod Vienna agree
in stating that Russia formally disapproves tithe choke.
We 'have already expressed our firm belief in this impor-
tant fact. We are not therefore surprised, at engraving
coolness between the Noble Mug and Count Num.-

ROD/. weans that thaPOLTONAC Maill4 114 tanking

changed. We would not give tines socuttAs purchase for the
existence of the actual French Ministry, nor for any po-
litical combinations got up by such statesmen as are now
labouring to settle the affairs of Europe, and stay the
coming tempest.

We gave, a few days ago, the copy of the King of
Wartemberg's address in opening the Reprelentstive
Chambers; we now call the attention of our readers to
the following extracts of their replies. These addresses
cannot be too widely circulated, and may not he without
their effect in exciting useful reflections on this side the
German ocean. They are more than usually apropos on
the day before our owe, Houses assemble.

THE ADDRESS OF THE UPPER CHAMBER WAS DZ.

LIVERED BY THE PRESIDENT PRINCE DE ROUEN.

LOHE-OEHRINGER.
" SIRE! accept tho public expression of those senti-
ments with which the Chamber has been penetrated, en
receiving assurances no less noble than satisfactory, and
which emanate from the love which a wise thtber be-
stows on his children. If the First and loyal.
Chamber is so happy as to contribute to the
hopes and aspirations of your MAJESTY, It Will
be the best recompence of their efforts. If Mr
consider the seal with which your MAJsinT labours ' •
out ceasing fur the well-being of the nation; if we call to
mind that the Constitution, which we celebrated tan rem
No, is a gift that we owe to the equitable mind of your
MAJESTY, how is it possible not to be stimulated to imi-
tate such exalted seal'—and in reflecting with gratitude So
the magnammons author of this fundamental law, bow Is
it paid le to avoid any exertions to exercia, 41a *tigbio,
and accomplish the obligations, to the litZT4l4ll
with which we find Miniver Immured ? n per-
seise is sustained by a sincere will, and Mrs* to
such a noble object, there is no necessity for say eibar-:
Wes to insure its accomplishat.to Chamber
the Lords will, therefore, influenced by their unalterable
fidelity, never depart from the line of duty and
assr, which it has the flattering conviction of pursuing:
It will never entertain any other object, but the good a<
this King and country, which are inseparable. It will ad;
here constantly to that which it promised solemnly iss
years ago. Guided by the example of your 11411SITT;
their faithful Chamber will never lose sight of thiiwiemr.
able position in which it is placed. All our efforts shall
be constantly devoted to co-operating in the develops-
meat of a wise legislation, and to perfecting all the
branches of the public administration.
" The continued efforts of your MAJESTY to diminish
the burthens of the people, is a new proof of your paternal
desire to promote their happiness. We wait with impati-
ence, but at the same time with joy, and in perfect confi-
dence, for the communications relative to the reductions
to be made in the public expenditure, and the consequent
ameliorations in the taxes. The country which, noddle
the sceptre of your MAJESTY, owes you so many acts of
beneficence, will implore, in acknowledgment, of these
benefits, the benedictions of Heaven on your MAJESTY
and all the Royal Family."
The following brief extract is from the address of the
Lower Chamber :

" Size ! Your MAJESTY saluted the representatives of
your people with expressions full of love and confidence.
These expansions Sowed from the heart ; it is also the
heart which heard them, and which will preeerve their
remembrance with the most heartfelt gratitude. The
more sublime the vocation of the Sovereign,. the mere
necessary does it become to be convinced of the im-
portance of casting a glance at the past, in order to 'rea-
der an account of it, and establish useful' points of
comparison.
`. Tow Mailers may certainly look :*ksith
fioction on the ten years which have elapeW. This period
offers numerous and imperishable roommate to peva
the laws you have consecrated WIN good of the State.
The personal liberty of the subject has been consolidated
and rendered inviolate. The nation prospers. The woes-
queues, of these ameliorations introdueed into legislation
are fast developing themselves. The abuses anAdisoeders
of the administration have incurred punishment and con-.
tempt. Arbitrary power has yielded to law. The
Taintless of the people, arts, and sciences, powerfully sup.
ported, have experienced a new impulse ; several wants
previously experienced, have attracted the attention of
Government. It is with the profoundest gratitude that
your subjects have read these benefits, and so many
others ; and Wilsey even required any guarantee fat the firm
resolves of your MAJESTY, to procure every pomade
for your people, it would be found in the fast,,eit
the augmented revenues of each year bluing lime emu-
pulously reservedpand placed at the of the lista,
These will not be less scrupulous in en the
best mode of economising the public Feesenves, and in
perfect accordance with the intentions otriur-MaassTyo
they will labour to meow& every plan dreamt utility,J
with their duties towards posterity, and that of preventing
public adamity.

COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.

ROBERT THE DRVIL, DUKE OF NORMANDY.

In the present " docile* and fall" of dramatic talent--
when even the happiest *Sorer of our play-wrights are
confined to servile imitations of the elder assetem of the
lyre—'onto mawkish arbiptations from die French 'school—
it is as consolatory as asy thing can he ender such dr-
annotating, to no the autogyro of eV great National
Theatres, comeciess of their inability to excite or gratify
public trate by the novelty of meek, tidying solely Sir
publit quppore Upon the merit of nowt*. To some such
cause are we, doubtless, indebted foe the production of
such a nondescript mileage as Robert the Devil, Dike
Of Norntandy—s melodransadc opera, in which no male
singer appears—an operatic melodrama, the heroine of
which is supported by a fair vocalist I—a musical ro-
mance, fuß of pantomimic tricks and harlequinede con-
trivances—a new piece, without one original situation,
character, or incident I—a dramatised legend, which, as
Tow Moose (who made it the subject of a poetical tale
of horror, entitled The Ring) tells us, FROMM A
quotes flora BILLUAC &HSU, awes many other
stories equally diabolical and iatareating"—ia which
Kaer.zr, as a peripatetic philosopher and trusty
squire, cites verse of the days of Queen Axis
—and a female ghost (prod p&p. 0 quotes stanzas
from " Littk's Poems!" And yet, despite these
manifest and glaring incongruities, the performance
elicited very coraidemble applause—for which, however,
the author must not deceive himself into a belief that he
is in any way accountable ; for in truth the favourable
reception of his composition—or compilation rather—
was attributable to the praiseworthy zeal of the maps
drasnatire—to the skill with which the scenic effect of
every passage was heightened—and, above all, to the
display of vocal talent, which we could have wished had
been less sparingly introduced. Miss HUGHES, as the
Lady Blanche, was deservedly encored in the song with
which that character somewhat abruptly commences ; and
the sew, " When shall the lover rest?" with its thrilling
replication—or mysterious echo—is perhaps one of the
most elective compositions that has been heard for some
time. Miss CAWS*, who appeared On this occasion as the
heroine of mele-drome, was the excellent representative
of Lodine; and, in the artless simplicity of the rural belle,
charmed, as in the unwonted assumption of more con-
flicting passions and feelings, she surprised us. In the
only air allotted to this meritorious favourite---" I saw
what seemed a harmless child !"--there was such a

Atleading et playfulness with `power—of sweetness with
senthasse-.that front the enthusiastic plaudits and the
rapturous encore which followed upon the " dose of that
rich melody," it was evident that the success of the
" Musical Romance" was ensured ; and, in his grati-
tude for that success, the Author may exclaim with
Othello—" It was the Calm, my soul it was the
CAWSZ."

M. Berryer (the Minielerial candidate.) says the Ga-
