coolly charged by certain candid contemporaries
with taking Marshal Haynau's part, and defending
all and every OF his actions duriag the late war
II would be Just as reasonable 10 charge those
journals with defending all the unspeakable atrsci-
ties committed by the Hungarians and their allies.
Ii is very natural and proper, of course, that men
should have an opinion on affairs ever so foreign
and remote. But hen an English mob, in vio-
laton of the law, but with the appreciation of
the press, undertakes to inflict summary ven
geance on the distinguished officer of a foreign
interference and of our still prouder and still fresher
boast, that il ID the office of the British navy to
vindicate the rights of hospitality all over the world
Hospitality Is reciprocal idea. We cannot ex-
pect more of it than we give, and if we undertake

Austria and France, il will never do TO connlve at

never allow at Athens or Patras If England
claims the glorious distinction of insulting every
representative of unpopular policy that visits her
shores, and yet backing with her fleets the AFRO
gance of her own subjects-perhsps as justly odo1s
in the eyes OF foreign popuatons-she Will become,
not the lawgver, but the tyrant OF nations Ii Is
but the other day that We were told with much
pomp that the British navy was the police OF the
world and that the security of the humblest British
subject was everywhere protection to The weak

on the verge of hypocrisy, and ever liable to be the
cloak Of ambition or OF petulance, become instantly
ridiculous when the prefer der Is the hrst 10 break

chastse the excuses Of an Athenian mob, if Lon.
don mob is 10 be opP'auded for precisely the same
conduct! Just and reasonable men feel very
great check in the consideration that they ought

There will be an end of this check in the case OF
the British people, and consequently limit TO its
pretensols il, while il pretends TO b. the great
teacher and umpire OF nations II is also 10 rejoice
at tie fact that obn oxious foreigner has been in

IL is utterly beyond the competence OF the British
people 10 arrive at such certain and quasi Judicial
decision on Marshal uayaaus official proceedings

Yet here are publ; organs gravsiY maintaining
that the Marshal Is the enemy OF his species, and

much less substantial inhumanity IN logging wO-
