that though few Of them, comparatively, have any
i'm Mediate interest therein, yet that there is sufficient
public spirit amongst Efgishnreu 10 make them
sympathiZe with wrongs which DO no. Immediately

llowing-years may show that this is question in
which they are not altogether unconcerned Be-

yideo there had long been heart burnings and jeal
Susies which at last broke out Into open rupture.
Both LORD Aberdeen and Sir Robtn Peel have re-
peatedly declared W Parliament that they would not
interfere ia the quarrel rher than using their good
Offices to try 10 u.ing about peace and yet, in spite
Of these declarations they srs nerfersd, and that

The domestic policy Of Cen Rosas, or any other

Now complaint Mas beer niade OF any lnfraction Of

and sefcontrol he has exhibited under the most IL

and shall be surprised at nothing; but, otherwise,
we are not disposed to give credit to the run,ors
