The Sun. — 1835-01-20 (London, England)

VHE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1835.  of the Holy Alliance cannot endure the existence of a Government based on the principles of civil and religious liberty. They only seek a pretext to destroy it ; and for the last four years, every means has been resorted to for the purpose of obtaining some plausible pretext for carrying their infernal design into execution. But let not the little Despots, who lord it over some five or six thousand German serfs, imagine that the free Governments of Europe will suffer the perpetration of such a scheme. The President of the Aulic Council has always evinced a very warlike disposition when himself and his royal compeers were called upon to discuss the effect of Swiss liberty on Austrian serfs ; but his Imperial MAJESTY will find that he will have a power to deal with very different from the army of the Republic, should he attempt to carry his despotical and murderous designs into execution. We have not learned what answer the Swiss Government returned to the,insulting note of the Austrian emissary ; but we should hope it was worthy of a nation of freemen.  We have received the Cape Town papers, which contain the following Resolutions of the Council re lating to moral and religious instruction of the Hottentots, and other free people, of both the appropriation of land for the benefit of the same, and the  subdividing of the districts, with the prevention an( punishment of vagrancy  Art. 1. That considering that the communication of Christian instruction to the coloured population of the colony in general is a paramount act of duty, we have learnt with great satisfaction that 'n the resolution of the House of Commons of the 25th June, 1834, relating to the internal Government and prosperity of his Majesty's Colonial Possessions, " The flouse, before proceeding to pass an act for the abolition of slavery throughout the British Colonies, resolved, That his Majesty be enabled to defray any expense that may occur in providing upon liberal and comprehensive principles for the religious and moral education of the negro population to be emancipated.' Art. 2. That it is in our opinion an imperative act of justice towards the Hottentots, to restore them to the enjoyment of freedom and security of property, the means of subsistence in that land which has been emphatically designated as originally and exclusively their own, which is at same time a measure of the soundest policy towards the coloured classes in general, to stimulate them to exertion, by giving them motives of industry, and to endeavour to elevate their character by encou= raging and rewarding the industrious—that werecommend that whatever lani.s still remain available for this purpose in the colony, may be, without delay, granted for absolute possession, to the Hottentots, and other free people of colour, according to such rules as the Colonial Government may deem necessary, reserving a sufficient portion of land for the use of a clergyman avid teacher, and the erection of a church and school.  Art. 3 enables his Majesty to defray any expense he may incur in providing for the moral and religious instruction of the negro population about to be emancipated. Art. 4. That of adopting, to the full extent, the truly Christian and philanthropic sentiments expressed by Mr. Wilberforce.  We have received intelligence from Bayonne, dated the 14th inst. The Carlists are still before Elisondo ; but, owing to the bravery of the garrison, their attacks have all been unsuccessful. The recovery of MINA is growing more and more doubtful every day ; and it is now rumoured, that LLAUDER having failed to oust the Ministry, will himself take the command of the troops. The Carlists are extremely active in Grenada and Old Castile, where it is reported that ERA so, the Carlist General, obtained some advantages on the 4th. There is not the slightest appearance of an immediate termination of the civil war ; and should it continue much longer, famine will do the work of the sword—especially among the peasantry.  Brussels and German papers have been received. Their contents are not important. We have, however, given sonic interesting extracts from them, which will be found in another column.
