from the press of this country having followed in the wake of the French press, which accuses Russia of being an enemy to free institutions, in or- der to avert our eyes from their own republican tendencies, 547-let the cases of aggression against Russia be calmly considered, and first in regard to Khiva, which was only a movement after all on her part to protect her great trade in the east, from the de- predations of the Khivan marauders, 548-in regard to the British testi- mony against Russia on this and other points, it has all been derived from Bri- tish officers in the cast, whose minds were prejudiced before leaving the country, 549-that testimony, there- fore, is good only for its facts, and amongst its facts, only for that part which depends on official report, ib.-Is it then for itself that Khiva is occupied? No.-550-Is it a step- ping-stone to any thing connected with this country? ib.-Let the situa- tion of Khiva be considered for this purpose, 1st, it is hostile, ib.-2d, it is difficult of access, ib.-3d, it is under water for a long season of the year, ib.-4th, the passage of artil- lery from it to Bokhara is nearly an impossibility, 551-facts and argu- ments to support these points, ad- duced, ib.-Russian expressions of hostility have been disavowed, and what is the Russian interest in India? None.-554-besides the difficulties of a Russian invasion in India are insu- perable in various respects, ib.-The selfish motives of France detected in the attempt to excite hostile feelings against Russia, and especially in re- gard to the signing of the quintuple treaty of 15th July, 1840, 556-a caveat entered against the misrepre- sentation regarding the part taken by Russia in putting down the last affair in Poland, 558.-But the object of this paper is not so much to raise a scruple of Russian hostility as to notice the great revolution for mankind, which seems at present going on to force Great Britain and Russia into friendship, for the purpose of Chris- tianizing the East, 559. et seq.

Stanley's, Lord, Irish Registration Bill, 135 the motive of the furious oppo- sition set up by the Ministry against this bill, is obvious and natural, it is because only by the disorder of the election franchise that an O'Connell influence exists, and only by an O'Con- nell influence that a Melbourne cabi- net exists, ib.-they cannot allege against it that no reform of the regis- tration is required, for, for three successive sessions they themselves brought forward measures for that particular reform, 137-but the actual objection brought against it of its being of a restrictive character with regard to the franchise, may be urged against all measures of true reform, 138 this bill has the higher tendency of strengthening party principles though it may injure personal inter- ests, 139-It has also the great merit of putting the two parties, the Con- servative in favourable contrast with the Whig; for, first, it forces the Ministry to the public support of Irish perjury, 142-secondly, it confers a benefit on Conservative policy, at the
same time that it confers a public benefit, inasmuch as it annihilates an extensive system of fraud and perjury, ib.-thirdly, it abolishes the hypocrisy of personation, 143-and fourthly, it exposes the bullying threatenings of the Irish agitators, ib.

Part XII. 431-Part XIII. 623. Ten Years of Whig Government, 563— the evil consequences of it now seem about to fall on us, ib.-the first delu- sion that overspread the land was Reform, and to its success all the others may be ascribed, ib.—the next delusion was the popular mode of con- ducting our finances, 564-another favourite delusion was the manage- ment of the Romish population of Ireland, 565-the West Indies was another theatre on which the new principles were to be advocated, ib.- Canada has also been made the theatre of the new system of government, 567 -while wounds were inflicted in the West, dangers have been allowed to accumulate in the East, 568-but if the East and the West have been the theatre of reform innovations. Europe has been the theatre of unaccountable vacillation and perplexity of policy, 569-first, in regard to Turkey, 570 -then, as to Holland, ib.-next, in regard to Spain and Portugal, 571— and now, as regards Egypt, ib.—it was the shameful desertion of our old ally Turkey, that has been the root of the whole evil, 572-the imminence of the present crisis is thus great, ib. --and what have we gained by sup porting revolutionary allies? 573- nothing but loss of trade, as proved by public documents, ib.-ultimate advan- tages, however, will overbalance these perils, first, by unmasking the revolu- tionary projects of France, 576—se- cond, by producing unprecedented una- nimity in the Conservative party, ib.- and lastly, by placing in a clear point of view the enormous peril, both to the interest of the individual and the safety of the state which arises from pursuing that wretched system of economy which has so long paralysed the naval and military strength of Britain, 577.
