STANDARD.—The Morning Chronicle has today an article of some length upon what it is pleased to call Sir Robert Peel's anti-Brazilian policy. Now the policy in question is anti-Brazilian only in this, that it gives first a preference to our own colonial sugar, next in order a preference to sugar the product of free labour, in whatever country grown. A British and anti-slavery policy (be they always united) it certainly is ; but in no respect is it antiBrazilian more than it is anti-Cuban, or anti anything rise. It is the Morning Chronicle that compliments the Brazils by representing those countries as the embodied type of the accursed slave trade, the Brazils being also the special clients of " the League." The question of slavery apart, however, we have sufficient proof that nothing less than the sacrifice of our colonies will satisfy the rapacity of the Brazilian Goprnment. Baron Langsdorff, the Envoy of the French Government, sent with a proposition for the rdnewal of the expiring commercial treaty between France and the Brazils—without any stiFtlation in favour of free labour produce—has I. teed no better than Mr. Ellis. The Brazilian Government will listen to nothing less than an lisolute monopoly of the sugar trade ; and this monopoly M. Guizot is as little dispesed to grant, to the destruction of the French color :03 and to the ruin of the home manufacture from 1 eetroot, as Sir Robert Peel to concede the sacrifice (if all our tropical dependencies. The Brazils, theref ,re bid fair for a condition of commercial " isolation." Tisk seems foolish ox the part of the Government f Ifio ; but, after all, that Government is, perhaps, ii a so much to blame for the folly. The freetraders of this country have been for years exag• verating the importance of the Brazil trade to our manufactures, and the power of Brazilian Government to exclude our r: duce to a degree to persuade the Brazi-1 ,ns that they may dictate what to -ms they p'ease to England, and as, it plain from Baron Langsdorff's loll:7e, to France also. The folly, howtver pre(laced, of Brazilian isolation, can he cured only by a sharp lesson, and that lesson is in preparation. The F. ht)ol.naster will he soon abroad in the unwelene garb of a smuggler, unwelcome we mean to Govermnent, but always too welcome to the .ople, and he will not he long in teaching the utter feipossibility of withholding from the people what they want .or desire, along a frontler of 7,000 or 8,000 rules at the very least. The Brazilians have the best imaginable means of knowing the impossibility of guar4ing, by any expense of money, skill, and zeal, a coast of half the extent of their frontier; fer they pursue their murderous trade of man-smuggling along the whole coast of western Africa, almost nemolested, notwithstanding all that England and France can do to interrupt it. If, under the advice of our "Leaguers,' they persist in their ridiculous s. heme of isolation, they wi'l soon have their practices retorted upon them, though in an infinitely buzeanized form. In the article to which we refer, the Mnrming Chronicle modestly claims for the Vt'higa the credit of the success of the 13:itish arms 1 in China, and the acquisition of the China trade. T ;is is somewhat more than commonly audacious. What was the state of affairs in China when the Whigs were dismissed ? They bad undoubtedly created a quarrel with that country, in which, with their usual ingenuity and good fortune, they managed to place England in the wrong In the first instance, a 4 having got the country into this quarrel, they, after their fashion, secured a sufficient quantity of I-, verses and disgrace. They were dismissed just at the moment when China threatened to repeat the tragedy of Affghanistan, and in China as in Central Asia, the Conservative Government just reversed their measures, and ti.e condition of our affairs, substituting honour and firmness for trickery and cowardice—vict.eies fcrr retreats or defeats—peace and an a- cured hope of its continuance, for disastrous ar and black despair. It is too early 'for the Chronicle to call upon the people to forget these Clogs.
