THE DUTCH WAR.

On Friday, the first blood was shed in Lord Grey's
atrocious Dutch war. Happily it was the blood of the
aggressors—of Frenchmen—of our allies—if the TimeB
and Globe please to remind us of our shameful connec-
tion; happily none of the gallant Dutch have yet suffered.
At day-break on Friday morning the citadel of Antwerp
was summoned to surrender—General Chasse answered
by a notification, that if the French presumed to continue
the prosecution of their hostile works after the noon of
that day, he would fire upon their working parties. His
notice was disregarded, and with strict punctuality, at
twelve o'clock, a- single discharge of grape shot. swept
away a small detachment of our worthy allies, engaged
in the task of preparing batteries against the citadel.,
'ThiS kind. of admonition was repeated through* day,, as
'often as our allies shOwed themselveS in the trenches. It
.does not appear how far the French. have 'answered the
fire of the citadel, and as Chasse!s, fire • was directed to
-meet a-particular object, of but occasional occurrence, it
iwas-extreinely slack.' Tlie Dutch hake succeeded in in-
undating a great part of the adjacent country, and frcm
:the course. affairs are taking,_ it is,plaintliat nothing but
an Orargeist insurrection in Brussels, which is not impro-
bable, or a retractation of the insane-policy of 'England,
of which there is less hope, can save the city and" ni4ig-h-
-bOurhood of AntWerp froth utter desolation. Tlie,Fiench
had begun:to ledge them'selves in the city, from which
they must be expelled by. a bombardment, and every, day
Was•addiug,ta the extent of champaign country laid under
water. It is indeed manifest that if France gains, the
citadel, she at the expense of a kingdom's
'ransom, to the Belgians and to herself—to,say nothing
caf English.loSses and cost, and there is even ground to
hope that all this monstrous sacrifice will not ensure the
purchase. We say to hope, and we say it with a full re-
Collection that the expression of such a hope has been
called by the Times high treason, and by the Globe a
proof of " wanting a national spirit." As to the "treason"
blockhead, we need say nothing more to him, thus. con-
victed of ignorance in the commodity which has, for -so
tnany years, been the staple of his trade; but we must
say a word of remonstrance to the Globe. We pray our
respectable contemporary to say in what, if not in na-
tional interest and national honour, can national spirit
sympathise ? And having answered this question, as our
contemporary must, by saying that, by national interest
alone, and national honour, is the patriotic spirit of a
nation properly engaged, wO would again request our
contemporary to say in what respect are the interests or
honour of England concerned in the success of the attack
upon the King of the Netherlands ? But then the glod-v
Of conquest—could we wish to rob. England of that ?
The glory of conquest! ! The glory of conquest, where
sixty millions make war upon two millions—the glory of
conquest, in a struggle to which the war terminated-by
the destruction of lie armada was a game of complete
equality. Oh, no; these are the wars in which the event
can never determine the meed of glory—that is awarded
at the commencement: all the glory to the devoted regis-
ters- of oppression7---infamy to the powerful aggressors,
greater or less in proportion to their success and their
perseverance in crime. The direction of a national spirit
of patriotism in England, therefore, must now h.: to
hope, by whatever means it can be brought about, that
the harvest of disgrace to which Lord Grey has intro-
duced us may be the lightest possible and of the short-
est dur,ation.—Standard.

Ina popular assembly a minister has a difficult part to
play. It often happens, that in. defending himself against
the attacks of one-party, he lays himself open to the at-
tacks olanother: Thus, for instance, M. Thiers latljust
before been dwelling on the difficulty which; after the
revolution of JUly, the French government had 'had in
inspiring foreign governments wiih confidence. "They
dreaded .(he' says) lest France should give way to the
love of conquests, and the disorders of anarchy. Appre-
hensione were entertained lest the French revolution
should become an
.universal convulsion. - What was the
duty of the government ? It was bound to prove to fo-
reign powers that it would conduct itself like a ,regular
government ; that is to say, that it was not fermented
with the love of conquests, and that it would recognise
existing treaties, instead of tearing them asunder, as it
was wished it should be driven to db." But immediately
after this argument to justify the inactivity of France,
comes another to justify the government against those
who contended that the interests of France had not been
attended to in the case of Belgium. Here M. Thiers an-
swers, " France had• beside tier a kingdom which was
alWays in a state of hostility, a kingdom which, in all
pericds, hadbeen organized to arrest her ambition." Well,
then, without war, by the eject of her negotiations alone,
this hostile:.kingdcm has been broken ; in place al this
hostile limit', atriendly kingdom has been created, [de-
nials-at the extremities.] Yes, a friendly kingdom has
been created, by her and, or her, without having recourse
to the means of arms. i ask, if ever, at any period, such
results were obtained by negotiations ? I ask if ever
there has been seen the breaking up of a kingdom, and
the creating.. out of it another kingdomewithout war;
and if it can be said, that a nation which obtains such-
oSultSby its diplomacy is a nation humiliated, and with-
out influence in Europe,? (Agitation ?)
'This chuckling over the triumph of French diplomacy,
-in haVing succeeded in breaking up a kingdom always
opposed to French ambition, and erecting out of that
kingdom- another kingdom friendly -to, France; is not
likely to prove very gratifying to the allies of France,
nor very tranquillising with -regard, to suspicions: of
French ambition:

"It.has been said," adds M. Thiers, " that the nego-
tiations would terminate in war, as the powers were in-
terested in preventing the division of the kingdom of the
N,etherlands. We have continued the negotiations till
the moment in which we could make them bear their last
fruit ;..but.then came a moment in which we could no
longer consent to the uncertainty of Belgium, and the
uncertainty of our position in front of this new kingdom ;
and,,,therefore, from that time we have claimed the exe-
cution of the, treaty, and we, have claimed it, with force,
and with the disposition to obtain_ it."—Morning Chro-
nicle.

It will be.seen, from our report, of the county meeting
at Hertford, which appears in another column, that Lord
nacre,. aided by several .partisans of the present govern-
ment, succeeded in defeating a resolution against the
Ditch war. •

Never was a question .argued` more distinctly upon
party, grounds than the question of peace or war .vas ar-
gued, upon thiS occasion, by his lordship and the, speakers
who followed him on the same side. If the proposition
had been, "Will-you prefer a Tory to a Whig; will you
turn out a referming., administration, or will you rein-
state your Old'adversaries in power ?" the arguments ad-
duced by the noble.,Mover of- the amendment, and his
friends, could not have been more plainly directed• to
those topics than they.were upon the very different pro-
position of interfering ,to prevent hostilities against
holland.

Theinanceuvre answ_erelthe,purpose4br .vilvichit was
resorted to. The old prejudice of Whig and Tory, the
recent conflicts .of reformer-and-anti-refOrmer, were all
pressed into the service. of „Amster Jo
5 y, their adherents;
and the deCiion of the meet ing'-WaS rn corißiMity with
their .recommendation, that, because of considerations

which had nothing to do with the matter, it was es.pedient
to leave Holland to its fate, and the ministers to fair
career of aggression and war. But, though this resuit
may be fairfir enough appealed to as a proof" of the
strength of Whig influence in the county, it will scarcely
lzta regarded as a set-off against the great city meet-i2g,
Where commercial and pratical' men of all parties carried
a resolution similar to that which was lost Hertford-
shire. There still remains the opinion of Parliament,
and of the nation, and a little time will show whether the
approbation vouchsafed. to minisqers, from Hertfordshire
and other places, bears any proportion to that which the
public in general are prepared to reclt)g.nize i4l their osirn.
