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.

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.
