The grand pens?, of Henry IV. nf France contemplated the arbitra tion of national quarrels by a council of sovereigns. But the generosity of Hen ry’s nature was not proof against the ha bits of his country ; and his grand coali tion was to have France at its head.— Yet the good sense and piety of extin guishing the conflicts of empire, were obvious, and a multitude of the best and wisest men had inculcated the advantage of restraining national injustice, by iui appeal to some great Amphiciyonic seat of judgment. The speculation was ne ver reduced to practice. F.ven the be nevolent looked upon it but as one of those theories of human happiness in which the whole delight must be limited to speculation. The nineteenth centu ry has shewn its practicability. But the wisdom was not of man’s invention, nor the way of man’s discovery. The French war, in its triumph and its catastrophe, tvas the teacher, under the control of that mighty and beneficent intelligence, which, at all times directing the course of things to the ultimate good of society, seems to have in those latter dnys both accelerated the progress, and made more palpable the design. It is absurd to place the French war iu the class of those conflicts, by which nation has been struggling against nation from the first of ages. Its external violence, and it$ ci vil excesses, its disruption of foreign power, and its subversion of the domes tic throne, have no common features with the tribe of war. It was not an army in hostility, but a people ; not a people resisting a single opponent, but u peo ple challenging conflict with the world. The overthrow of the national worship, the monarrb»>- tba rwlvilparcj of every ,o».,,t..ici4body, the subversion ol pro perty within the realm, the assault tfpbth all exterior authority, alike allied, neu tral, inimical ; the furious and sangui nary atpbition, by which tho ends cf the earth were contemplated a? not too re mote for the boundaries of the French dominion, gave the war a gigantic his death lias drawn a veil not to be touched by on irreverent hand. \Vc are Tories, and as such, we are firm haters of the Jacobiu ferocity of the Hunts and Cobbetts, and their abettors in all class es of Society. But hating the sangui nary madness of Radicalism, we not ioss hate, though we much less fear, arbitra ry power. The Whig of IG83 lias de generated into the Jacobin of 1822, The Tory of 1G22 has adopted the principles of the freemen of 1088, and is at this hour the most effective guard upon the possi ble excesses of power, because he is the most rational, consistent, and sincere friend to the constitution. If he haunt no nioh meetings, propagate no calumni ous folly, or make no revolutionary pil grimages through the jails and highw ays of England, if he be neither luord Grey, bending his aristocratic brow to the ma jesty of the rabble, while the nostrils of hi< pride arc wrinkled in disdain of their rudeness ; if he be no Lord Holland, burlesquing the Constitution by tho ridi cule of his defence; if he disdain tlie professional clamours oflhe Broughams, and the boyish mischievousness of the Lambtons, and similar retainers of the cause of absurdity and evil,—he exer cises an honorable vigilance of the con duct of ministers, and would be among tho first to array himself in firm resist ance to an attack on the liberties and honors of England. It may have been remarked that among the public men whose conduct we found ourselves in clined to discuss, the late Marquis of Londonderry was the iudividu.il whom we the least delighted to honor. We were perfectly sensible of his good quali ties, his amenity as a leaderof the Com mons, iiis freedom from venality, and his personal fearlessness. But of all (lie Foreign Secretaries within our memory, he had the least of an English mind. His adoption of foreign phrases, trivial as the evidence is, takes a place among the proofs that the Marquis looked with more than English complacency upon the habits of strangers. But the heavier proof of the charge is, that in the whole new distribution cf Europe, he gained nothing for the influence, the honor, or the dominion of England. We know the folly of n too extensive dominion, (lie crime of o lust of power, and the fc ir- r-ihAT.inl of usurped donu- U1QH.

Two discoveries resulted from this tremendous convulsion ; the first, that result, was the sole consequence reaped from a tiiumph that ought to have been an era of constitutional freedom through the world. It is the peculiar and noble But it is now gratifying to u« to speak of the prospective good. Mr. Canning has eminent advantages in iiis accession to the public service. Among the first we rcg.ird his eloquence, the next is his disengagement from foreign partialities. No man w ill be a favorite with the na tion, or a beneficial servant of (he em pire, who submits himself to a foreign policy, or foreign predilections. The Englishman must have an English minis ter. The most popular speech of the most popular predecessor of his Majesty, was that m which be declared hiQlselt born a Briton." The most popqtaf 1 sovereign ot England before the Bruns- wicks, was Cromwell, the man who de-‘ dared that with foreigners no umba-sa dor wus equal to a ship of the line. The most popular minister that F.nglaud ever saw—the man to whom she gave her heart and hand with unrestrained cosfi- deuce—-was Chatham, the avowed des- piser ot foreign professions, the aivo of the whole tribe ot slippered diplomtcy abroad, and the contemptuous and reso lute claimant of every right of England and human nature. Chatham is the great model for a British minister. What Mr. Canning w ill do, it must be idle to conjecture ; what he ought to do, it would, perhaps, he presumptuous to decide. Cut what the people of England desire to ree done, is of easy knowledge ; and it is by the public will that a minis ter must shape his course, if he will do honor to himself, or service to the na tion. Popularity is essential to his pow er of doing the greatest good. A sub mission to the honorable will of the peo ple is the best auxiliary for his wisdom, i he freedom ot English discussion,—the infinite variety ofmind, interest, and ex perience, which are called in to act on any high public matter,—places the ge neral decision almost beyond error ; and the. widest question that can he asked in a dubious Cabinet is, what is the opinion in the streets ? \Yc look upon (he ge neral public judgment as next to infal lible. In the late war, full of strange and untried circumstances as was that fearful shaking of established thoughts uwU tbiugg. „ r.„i„a i, pj-eHiev led the results of every expidi.A from that of Qniberoo Bay to that of Walcheren ; and its prediction was fa tally true. It pronounced upon every commander at once ; and defeat or vic tory followed as sure as the stroke the fl.ish. It is remarkable, that the first fa vorite general of the nation was Sir Ar bloody and torturing barbarism of l urk ish avarice and revenge. For the first time during centuries wc have Been a slave trade in Christian prisoners.— Women ol houor exposed in the human shambles of an Asiatic butcher ; men ol wealth and character flung into a horrid captivity, or slain ; the servants of the alter racked and murdered ; and the horrors ot the wildest ages perpetrated by tho 1 urk, with an open declaration, that these things have been done in ha tred of Christianity. Is England, which could put » Atop at once to this wolfish execution, to shrink from the common duty of humanity, on 1 suffer it to go otj * Her official ootes are nothing—mockery, worse than mockery. The Turk will feel them an excuse for her shame in suffering these atrocities, and a pledge that all her hostility will he on paper.— He taunts her ambassador ; he repels her feeble remonstrauce ; lie scoffs at her tardy humanity ; answers note by note ; nrid, before the seat is cold, sets forth ugaiu on his work of massacre. What treaty can bind a nation to an ac quiescence in those horrors, that would not sanction au individual iu a conspira cy to see murder done, and see that none, impeded its being done ? A few Greek revolters landed on Scio ; they were re ceived with natural congratulation, but obtained no assistance, or none of mo ment. The Turk let slip his dogs of war among thi - ucoplc, and a great and flourishing community of the Christian world was made a smoking desert. Its population was massacred, or dragged away to indignities worse than death— and the butcher was our ally ! In Cy prus, there has been no alleged ground ol devastation. The Turk found it guil ty of peace, and wealth, and more than all, ot Christianity. Cyprus one of the finest islands of the Archipelago, has, by the latest accounts, been utterly sacked ;—tbe island a tomb ; the streets full of blood ; and thousands, and tens of thousands ot its innocent people flung into a reUirnfess slavery, among the ruthless passions and tauntings of the savage infidel. Is England to stand by anil sec thnne crimes before God and man committed ? Is she to be justified ft, tier ’-ari hmsnt trra'v am', in the midst of the hourly violation of its spirit, feed justified before Heaven and earth by pointing to the letter ? If vve have declared to tho Turk our reso lution to prohibit a cruelty worthier of the devil than nf man, and if he have persisted,—all treaty is at an end, no single powercau overthrow the unit- j} ,,lunc ’ °* Png,and, that her happiness, „,t rrd. n„A .iw> „ f „„,t freedom, and wealth, arc palpably cd force of the rest ; and the second, that to secure Europe from gradual ruiu, a combination of the iending powers was nf absolute necessity. For the first time in history, un army of empires was form ed ; and by the choice of Wellington for its chief, England was virtually declared the head of this most magnificent of all coalitions. It is beyond our purpose to examine whether all that might have been done by this great arrangement has been done ; whether the Holy Alliance, a compact of a distinct order, has been pure in all its purposes ; whether the rights of nature have been violated, in the eagerness to restrain the offences of national irritabi lity. But one fact is unanswerable, that ihe great primal object of Inc coalition has been accomplished ; that France is no more the disturbing spirit of Europe ; that her Revolution, once stricken down, has been kept down ; and that the gal lantry which smote France has been turned into the vigilance Ly which its fugitive jacobinism has been cqerced in its vow of foreign ruiu. nected with those oflhe whole great cir cle of European society. She sits on the throne ot Europe by a voluntary so vereignty of good. All nations feel dm! the mighty Eland cannot he the enslaver of the continent; England is the great central fortress in which the suffering and the brave of all countries must take the common interest of a common safe ty. Her renown is their security.— They rejoice to see the battlements of her power—the Acropolis ot - nations, rise above all the strong holds oflhe earth and lie glorious in its imperishable tro phies and temples ; because they know that her strength and glory are the hope of freedom among mankind. To have those feelings of the higher minds of the Continent universal, ought to have been the labour of the Foreign Secretary. The Marquis of Londonder ry occupied himself in superintending the distribution territory, not the assur ance of freedom.

The mo ttle whole Continent is at this hour in a stale of internal convulsion ; that, like the spirits of Pandemonium, there is a- mongthe more powerful raindsof Europe a sense of loss and defeat, a desperate love of fierce hazards—a wild and fiery dream of rebel grandeur, to ba won by , - .... , force of arms.

It might have been dillicult altogether to counteract this ; hut an English Secretary ought not to have seen those tilings done without an honest re monstrance. The Melternichs and Har- he shook his wet mid weary wing, and, eagle-like, again towered to tho sun. j Th" Spanish war was the war ol the I British nation. Whiggistn, Ihe univer sal abettor of insurrection, hero found one insurrection entitled to the honor of its hostility. A mighty revolt to protect a king not to murder him,—to protect a nobility, not to rob and massacre them, ]—to protect a national worship, not to I wash the altar? in tlie blood ol tlie priests, I—was a revolt repulsive to English ja- Icobinism, and tbe old rejoicings over po- honm able tpsliinonirs of confidence, ac knowledged the appointment of Mr. Can ning. The English Minister has before hiui the first field ever offered to a high spirit for establishing an immortal name for himself, and an irresistible, yet ge nerous influence for his country. The death of the late Foreign Secre tary would of itself, entitle him to tie al luded to with respectful pity. He fell almost a sacrifice to hi- zeal.

The punlic opinion, sneered at Ly the Oj territory, it is not our purpose to otject. T hey may have.been improvidently li beral. tLey may have been wi-e. But wq foel deeper regret in the fact, that to this hour the promises of the Conti nental sovereigns, either to England or their subjects, have been almost wjthout exception eluded ; that among the lead ing powers no constitution has been giv en to the people, except partially in France ; that no general equivalent pri vileges have been given, if such could be ; that the favorite and honorable wish of England, the extinction of the slave trade, has been eluded in the grossest & “■■owaldfi discussion ; and ypl over these ; most nefarious manner bv the tradine position, was adopted by the Govern ment; and those noble Lords who had cheered the insane declaration, that “ the troops sent to Spain under Welling ton might belter have boon shot in St. James’s Park!” were refuted Ly tri umphs, which were nt once those of mi nisterial energy nnd public opinipn. We now come to the most important inquiry :—What is the desire of the English nation in its foreign policy ?— The most inlcresting object is Greece. Il is beyond at! doubt the national desire, that the.butchery of this war, should be stopped at onep. There lias been much guilt and sacrifice of guilty life cn both higher concerns of a!! ; a mode of go vernment suited tithe noble lecollec- tinns and the natural circumstances o! Greece. The new Greek representa tive empire would at once check the ambilion of Russia in the Mediterranean, strengthen Constantinople and Ionia, and give n powerful and honorable ally to England. Deeper and richer hopes might come forth to light from this draining of the deluge of misery and blood. The climate of Greece, its mountains nnd sea«, its brilliant skies and balmy air, are made for the finest e’e- volopemcnt of the human body, and with it of tho mirnl. It is idle to doubt the influence of climate upon races of people, when every man feels their daily action on himself. Greece wants nrthing but lho impulse of honorable ambition....the hope of distinction,....the certainty of a tree range and reward for her powers, to be the Greece of JEschylns and Peri cles. The Public desire to see the Spanish civil war extinguished. They lament tho havoc of .Spanish life, the ruin of a noble country, and the execution of the finest peasantry of tbe South. ..they hear of the battles, in which those unhappy men are left to the dog &. vulture, with indignation & sorrow...they feel that now is the moment to interpose. The roy alist and constitutional armies are stand ing face to face, like charged thunder-i the Doctor, the following compliment to the author of ihe Sketch Book. “ Il struck ine forcibly, ns 1 gazed on this portly pfcrson (Ihe author of Waverley) that lie realized in iny imagination, the Stout GentleinanNo.il, ivho afforded such, subject j 'he winter’s frost.
