Axecdotb of Hvbks . —From ihe Carlisle Journal . - * -It is not probably generally , known that tke poet once paid our " merry city" a fist , though there is no doubt that he did once at least , get" unco happy " within oar ancient walls . He had come into the city upon horseback , and his nag was turned out to grass for a few hours . The ^ horse , as may well be lupposed , having Buch a master , was a brute of taste , and t * ok it into his head . that the grass , in a field Belonging to our wortby *" corpofatlon , which adjoined that in which it had been putv was of a better and sweeter flavour than it 3 own allotment , and accordingly made good his lodgment there . The mayor impounded the horse , and next morning , when Burns heard of the disaster , he wrote the following stanza : — " Was e ' er puir poet sae befitted , The maister drank—the horse committed-Pair harmless beast ! tak' thee nae care , Thouit be a horse when he ' s nae Mayor . "
His worship ' s Miyorality , we should hare premised , was about to expire on tbe day on which the stanzi was written ; it is paid , shat when tbe Mayor heard whose horse he had impounded , he gave instant orders for its liberation , exclaiming , "" let him have it , or ; he job will be heard of for ages to come . " Ccrras asd the Millbb ' s Dog . —Curran had told me , with infinite humour , of an adventure between him and a mastiff when he was a boy . He had heard somebody say , that any person throwing the skirts of his coat over his head , stooping low , holding- out his anas , and creeping along backwards , might frighten the fiercest dogand put him
to £ igai . He accordingly made the -attempt on a miller ' s animal in the neighbourhood , which would never let the boys rob tb . e orchard 5 but found , to his sorrow , that he had to deal with a dog which did no ; care which end of the boy went foremost , eo as be could gel a good bite out of it . v * I pursued the instructions , " said Curran , " and as I had no eyr-3 save those in front , fancied the mastiff was in full retreat , but I was confoundedly mistaken ; for , at the very moment I fancied myself , victorious , the enemy attacked my rear ; aud , having got a reason-Ably good mouthful oat of it , was fully prepared to take another before I was rescued . —Sir Jonah Barwioton ' s Personal Sketches of his ottn Times .

" Wash , Wabmzb , Warmest . —A house with a wife is often warm enough ; a house with a wife and her motheT is rather warmer than any . spoi on tbe known globe ; a house with two mothers-in-law is so excessively hot that it can be likened to no place on earth at all , but one must go . lower for & aimile .

Frisce Albert entered the presence of Victoria one morning , after having completed his riding lesson , quite elated with the improvement he had made in his equestrian knowledge . ** I haf , mein teir Vic , made von grand leap all de Tay from dis to dis , " placing , as he spoke , two chairs at about six feet apart . " Indeed ! " exclaimed the Queen , " that is a long way indeed—but it is not a millionth part the distance of your first leap . " "Imeedi" rejoined Albert , " Vy—vot for—vot first leap ! " " From a eabin of Saxe Gotha to Buckingham Palace ! " The Pnnce recognised the justice of the remark by a very formal bow . WHEJf Q . CTX was one day lamenting the ravages of time , a pert coxcomb asked what he would give to be as young as he was , to which our wit replied , that he would even submit to be almost as great a fool .

" I Threw Aw at the Q , cek 5 , " quoth Melbourne , while playing a family game of Whist at Palmerston ' s , " to make sure of the knave . " "Ah ! brother , " exclaimed Lady Cowper , " would it not have shewn more tact to have thrown away the knave to make ore of the Queen ?" A Whites in a London paper speaks of a late celebrated actress , " the onee extraordinary Fanny Kemble ( now the amiable Airs . Butler ) . " The
natural transition , therefore is , from tbe extraordinary before marriage to the amiable after marriage . "We guess some husbands will tell a different story . Palliation . — " Pray , sir , " said a Jamaica Commissioner to an insolvent brought up to be discharged on his petition— "Pray , sir , " how could you ¦ wilfully , with your eyes open , contract such a number of debts withoat any risible means of paying them ! " "My Lord , " said the petitioner , " You labour under a great mistake—I have never in mv life xciifull y contracted a debt ; on the contrary , 1 have invariably done every thing to enlvrge them . "
A Pbqspect op Relief . —It is not fair argument in bachelors to adduce domestio strifes as the necessary result of matrimony ; we have entered onr protest against thiB already ; but these incorrigibies require to be frequently reminded , that the fault arises generally from the incongruous tempersj tastes , and habits ox the parties , blinded passion , the inexperience of youth , or a sordid mammonking spirit of tbe parties contracting ; consequently they mast just , * s the proverb goes , " Drink the browst that they iae brewd . " An ill assorted pair had for forty years blistered each other , day after day , with jibes and ta _ nts , * nd as often wished that the circumference of mother fiarth were imposed between them . The better half was of an infirm

Often had she proclaimed , that the grim tyrant was about to remove her , and her consort as often believed , what he made no secret of wishing were true .

Fielding , the magistrate , was so strongly convinced of the pernicious tendency of the Beggars Operat as to assert that it sends , every time it is acted , an additional thief to the gallows . " He earnestly requested Garrick to hang Mackheatk , and even applied to him to suppress the piece ; to which Garrick consented , provided Coleman , the rival manager , would do the same . The latter declined ; Sir John told Garrick "it was a struggle between bis morality and interest ; " to which David rep lied , " He was sorry be could not return the compliment , for Sir John ' s interest and morality were never at variance .

PBOM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT . Tuesday Evening , Jan . 26 / A , The Queen opened the Session of Parliament this afternoon in person . The line of road through which her Majerty passed , on her way to the House of Lords , was much more crowded by spectators than on any former occasion of a similar nature ; but the plaudits of the people were not nearly so general , nor so enthusiastic as on many previous occasions j nor was her Majesty ' s reception any thing like so hearty as most persons anticipated . The Queen ' s husband sat in the " royal coach" with her ; and as soon a 3 the cortege had passed the horse guards , a divertisement took place , which was deemed equally as good a sight as that which had drawn so many hundreds of spectators together . Two boys here
amnsed her Majesty ' s lieges by standing upon their heads , and in that situation singing tke popular air of "Nix my dolly pals , fake away ! " accompanying themselves by a species of chorus , produced by striking the soles of their fe « t together , as flatly and with as much noise as could possibly b « produced by the palms of their hands . In this situation they continued for fully a quarter of an hour , going though really astonishing evolutions with their f « et upwards , and were regarded with a plentiful harvest of ** tin . " The procession returned to the palace amid a still more apathetic display of popular estimation ; in a word , it is evident , that royalty , although impersonated by a young and interesting woman , is at a discount , excepting among those who fatten on the extravagance of royal and aristocratical institutions .
In the interior of the Upper Trap , great preparations had been made to make the affair look big and impoiing . During the recess the throne , footstool , and cauopy have been regilt and decorated ; the steps covered with a magnificent purple carpet . embroidered with a Norman ruse ; aud on the left of the throne was placed a splendid chair of State for the £ 30 , 000 a-year boy to Bit in . A vast number of the tax-eaters were present , anxious to Fee , and be seen , in the show ; many ot them being those interesting little dears , who , for peculiar services , have been placed on the pension list . So disorderly did the meeting conduct itself , that scarcely a word of the "Speech" could be heard . The following was intended to have been delivered to the " two houses , " had the " two houses" had manners to listen to the little woman , while she read it "in her usual clear and distinct manner . "
"THE SPEECH . " My Lords and Gentlemen , I have the satisfaction to receive from Foreign Powers assurances of their friendly disposition , and of their earnest desire to maintain peace . The position of affairs in the Levant had long been a cause of uneasiness , and a source of danger to the general tranquillity . With a view to avert the evils ¦ which a continuance ot that state of things was calculated to occasion , I concluded with the Emperor of Austria , the King of PniM ' . a , the Emperor of Rusaia , and the Sultan , a Convention intended to effect a pacification of the Levant ; to maintain the integrity and independence of the Ottoman Empire ; and thereby to afford additional security to the peace of Europe . I have given directions that this Convention shall be aid before you .
I rejoice to be able to Inform you , that the measures which have been adepted in execution of these engagements bave been attended with ¦ ignal success ; and I trust that the objects -which , the contracting parties bad in view are on the eve of being completely accomplished . In the course of these transactions my Naval Forces have co-operated with those of the Emperor of Austria , and with the Land and Sea Forces of the Sultan , and have displayed upon all occasions their accustomsd gallantry and sk ill . Having deemed it necessary to send to the coast of China a naval and military force , to demand reparation and redress for injuries inflicted upen some of * ny subjects by the officers of the Emperor of China , and for indignities offered to an Agent of my Crown , I , at the same time , appointed Plenipotentiaries to treat upon these matters with the Chinese Government
These Plenipotentiaries were , by the last account * , in negotiation with the Government of China ; and it will be a source of much gratification to me , If that Government shall be induced by its own sense of justice to bring these m attars to a speedy settlement by an amicable arrangement . Serious differences have arisen between Spain and Portugal about the execution of a Treaty , concluded by those powers in 183 S , for regulating the navigation of tbe Douro . But both parties have accepted my mediation , and I hope to be able to effect a reconciliation between them upon terms honourable to both . I have concluded with the Argentine Republic and with tbe Republic of Bayti , treaties for the suppression of the Slave Trade , which I bave directed to be laid before you .
Gentlemen of the house op commons , I have directed the estimates for the year to be laid before you . However sensible ef the Importance of adhering to the principles of economy , I feel it to be my duty to rectmmend that adequate provision be made for the exigencies of the public service . My Lords and Gentlemes , Measures will be submitted to yon without delay , which have for tbeir object the more speedy and effectual administration of justice . The -vital importance of this subject is sufficient to ensure tor it jour early and most serious consideration . The Powers of the Commissioners appointed under the Act for the amendment of the laws relating to the Poor expire at the termination of the present year . I feel assured that you will earnestly direct your attention to enactments -which so deeply concern the interests of the community .
It ii always -with entire confidence that I recur to the adfice and assistance of my Parliament . I place my reliance upon your wisdom , loyalty , and patriotism , and I humbly implore of Divine Providence that all your Councils may be bo directed a « to advance tbe great interests of morality and religion , to preserve peace , and to promote , by enlightened legUaMon , the welfare and the happiness of all nlmr * of my subjects .

" It appeared to him that it bad been the custom to fix on tbe moet inexperienced person in that House to- move , the Address in answer to the Speech , from the Throne ; and on tbe presentocca-8 i « n Lord Melbourne had certainly not shown himself a reformer , but had adhered closely to th » , old custom . " After this Appropriate introduction , the '" noble lord * hobbled along with a ? erjrwto * sayi i | i the course bf which he Mserted that we had " piace at home , and our anns bad been "victorious abroad Peace at home had beeh 'feciired by tW-Atrict enforcement of the law , and tbe resnlts ' that hkd taken place In the East "Were attributable to the admirable policy that had been adopted by her , Majesty ' s Foreign Sceretary *^' ' - \ "• ¦¦; ; ' ' " / " /\ ^\ " .. . ... '" . ' i '"' He concluded by moving the , address , which was , aa usual , a mere echo of the speech . , - ¦¦ ., . 1 Lord Lorgan seconded the address , and said
that " He felt conscious of hfs deficiency to do justice to a eurjject of such importance . " He truly said , — ' The Address was but a dull copy and spiritless echo of the communication from the Throne;—( a laugh ) , but he did not think the worse of it for that . The session commenced under very auspicious circumstances ; and he wished ho could state that any of those auspicious circumstances had diffused any ot their
bright beams through the nature and composition of the Address ; but proud as he was at having the honour of standing sponsor to the Noble Lord ' s production , and a very promising production he fully anticipated all their Lordships , without exception , would pronounce it to be ; and naturally disposed as he was to take upon himself that sort of after-birth paternity that was put on tbe seconders of tbe Address , still , with all his feelings of partiality for it , he confessed that he could not discover in it any of those sentiments that would have made it . more agreeable to himself . —( Suppressed
laughter ) . Lord BROUGHAir saw enough in the tone of the speech to fill his mind with the most gloomy apprehensions . It was true that our arms had been , owing to British valour , triumphant-, and it was possible tbat the wars we bad engaged in were defensible ; but if defensible , it could only be upon the strict ground of absolute necessity . He could not concur in the opinion entertained by some people—that this country should ^ on no account , interfere in continental politics ; but there was a great difference between keeping aloof altogether and eternally intermedling and keeping up a sort of ubiquity , always acting , negotiating , and intermeddling everywhere , as if each country in Europe was part and parcel of Great Britain . The Noble Lord then adverted to the singular policy pursued br this country wife the professed view of
preserving the integrity of the Turkish empire . The only power of whom there was any apprehension , aa regarded Turkey , was Russia , and yet England united with that very power to carry out the recent policy in the East ; and be intimated that Russia was very unlikely to have entered into any such scheme— a scheme apparently opposed to her own interests and to her designs on Turkey , unless she could perceive greater advantages in perspective , and these advantages be thought her policy would foresee as an inevitable result o ? a breach between France and England . He thought also that if France had any real designs 011 Exypt and the East , this country bad more to fear from an alliance between that country and Russia to carry out their respective objects , than she could have to fear from either , while the good understanding with France was preserved .
Viscount Melbouuse wat unprepared to enter into a defence of the foreign policy of the Government , more particularly after tbe effects which It had produced . ; TheD . ukeof Wellington defended the policy of Ministers in reference to the East In justice to Russia , he must say that , on a former occasion , no power could be more anxious than she was to induce the maritime powers to prevent the invasion of Syria by Mehemet All , in etdet to obviate the necessity of her sending an army to Constantinople . He
believed that no person had done more than himself , since lie bad tbe honour of serving the Crown in . 1814 , —nay , no one bad done half so much to preserve the peace of Europe , and to keep up the best understanding between this conntry and France , and to place France , as such a great nation ought to be , In the councils of Europe ; feeling convinced that if France did not hold her proper position in those councils , there would be no security for the peace of Europe , or for justice or souud decision upon any subject .
Lord Brougham thought that , in drvwlng that loot statement from the Noble Duke , he had rendered moat essential service to tke peace of Europe . The address was then agreed to , and tbeir Lordships aditmrned .

SECOND LETTER TO LORD PALMERSTON . " Two thousand souls and twenty thousand ducats , Will not debate tbe question of this straw . " Shakspeare . Mt Lord , —Ton are one of those-who will not let well alone . You mnst be meddling , nor will yon take a plain course , but choose an intricate one , to display your talents for diplomacy , to out-devil the devil . Like the fool of Hamlet , yon are not content with the duty that is set down for you ; but mast play off some extra fooleries of your own . " This is villanous , and shows a most pitiful ambition In yon . " You mast adjust the balance of power in Europe , ae if it -would

not come to an equilibrio of itself ! and you moat do this after a fashion peculiar to yourself ; that is , by going to war to preserve peace f - , Egypt- first liberates itself from Twklsh tyranny , and tbea rescues Syria ' s " land of roses . ? ThePacba pays [ England the compliment to make oar institutions his models for civilising , ^ hia . newly-rfielaimed :, PSOpl France , the friend of freedom , favours him ; but England , the land pf liberty I , jouis . the jnoat . despotic countries in " Europe , to prevent the progress of his humanising poWcjr . * We ' Jola whb the Hoot 1 « hs , the Austrian *; and th * Tarks against one ' podr old man , aid incite his half-cjvilisid subjects to revblfc and Ve " - japsd into hhrbwiBm ' .,, ' The French would not join against him ; the French would most gladly have rushed t « his teacoe ; but their king forbad .
Overgrown power weakens itself ; bnt , supposing , for argument's sake , that the balance of power was really threatened by Mehemet All ; are there not other nations more nearly concerned in tbe matter than we f Why should England be the foremost to sacrifice blood and treasure in this foreign quaarrel ? America did not interfere ; no , America knew better ; she is a Republic ! and which of the powers , now allied with us , attempted to force America back into our gripe ? What had we to fear from far-distant Mehemet ? We had everything to hope . He admitted ub—he admired usbe imitated us . But , what if be bad hated us ? Are we
not masters ef the sea which surrounds us , which separates us ? Could we not have kept him , and , all the world , at bay ? Oh , but we bad to dread French influence in Egypt ! Why , we have gone tbe direct way to increase that influence , by acting tbe enemy to one disposed to be our friend ; by thrashing him in a fit of jealousy to make him love us , we have increased the sympathetic power of the seducer . We have rendered bis alliance necessary to retaliate the injuries we bave done him , and to procure a restitution of tbe property we have wrnng from him . Yes , Syria will again be restored to Mehemet aud something more .
If my Lori loves interference , why did be not interfere in behalf of Greece or Poland ? Alas ? he does not } love liberty ; and therefore it is that be allies himself with the tyrant-rulers of those unhappy countries against tbe rising dignity of Egypt . But , tbe independence of the Ottoman empire must be maintained ! —tbe integrity of the Sublime Porte must be upheld > —and Lord Falmergton ' s method of doing this is by shaking the independence of England , and by forfeiting bis own integrity . Yes , my Lord , you . were pledged to peace ; your lust for war was curbed by a sacred pledge . I trust France will judge England by the pledge the people required of you , and you by your
dishonourable breach of it . But , then , France may ask , why are you allowed to retain your place?—and this question we must answer satisfactorily , or expect the consequences of your vile policy . It were nothing , had you merely committed yourself ; but you have committed England along with yourself . How could we prevent it ? You kept us in the dark , intending to astonish us by a fine streke of Machiavelism , and what have you done ? You think you bave settled the Eastern question ; why , that was a matter of no moment to us , whatever way it was settled ; and , for this question of a straw you have involved England in a probable war with the -whole world .
Was It not enough that you should send a fleet out to China to massacre an innocent people for a crime , I if it were net an exemplary act of virtue , ) which , their governors bad committed ? That you should revenge a robbery ( if it were not a just confiscation ) by endless murders , instead of giving up the smugglers to the law which they had broken ? Was not this surficiently h » rrlble , sufficient to render tbe name of Englishman odious throughout the globe , but you must take a mean advantage of tbe defenceless and unprovided condition of an old man , . " . " Aa full of grief as age , wretched in both . "
You outwitted bis only friend by a trick of rascality , sucb aa he could not stoop to meet , could not dream of . You took external force , four agaiHst one , whosa internal difficulties required all bis care and strength ; and , like a bully , you boast of having knocked him down . You have broken the two greatest laws on earth ; tbe law of nature , which is the law of God ; and the law of nations , which is the law of universal man . Most anwarrantably , and most insolently , you have provoked France to please Turkey , and formed a hollow alliance with Russia , which she will break , as soon as , through your baseness and
blunders , she can have England " on tbe hip . " " You have sown dissension where there should be peace . " With France , we could have preserved the peace of all Europe ; without her , we cannot preserve our own . Our motto should be , — "Peace -with France , though we bav « war with all the world . " Franee wished to pursue the path of freedom and civilisation , coupled with us : and ia this the nation which you have gone out of your way to disgust ? which yeu are driving Into an alliance with Russia , or with hell , to be revenged on us ? The demon of war bad fallen asleep , gorged with victims ; you have roused him with tha roar of cannon , and now , evil exorcist ! lay him if you
can . Say , that you wished to display the power of Great Britain ; pity that it was not in a better cause ! The Turkish Government is the most despotic in Europe ; and , though it is said tbat the subjects under such a Government are always kept the quietest , insurrections are more rife in Tarkey than in any other country . Turkey alienates her own provinces from herself ; and England , forsooth ! must force them back uncler her hard yoke . What bave we to do with the independence of the Ottoman empire ? Let . her maintain it herself , or take the just consequences of
her despotic conduct Why should Christians fight to uphold Mahometan tyranny and bigotry ? Victoria , the reputed head of the Protestant Chnrch , is made to league witb Romanists , Greekists , and Mnssulmen . Tbe Queen of a free country is allied with foreign despots , and fights upon the Holy Land to destroy those principles which Jesus Christ died to save . Tbe Pope styled Henry VIII ., " defender of the faith , " for writing a book in defence of Popery , and the Sultan is to , present a diamond necklace to Victoria , for supporting Moslem integrity . Had she not better turn Su ltaness ?
My Lord , yon have gone so much out of your way in this " bloody business "— it was so plainly the interest of this country not to interfere , except , indeed , on tbe other side—tbat we cannot but suspect the Grand Turk won you over by motives of a private nature , which outweighed your regard for the public good . Or were you overcome by the importunities of relations , who besought you for an opportunity to distinguish themselves in a safe service , that they might procure promotion ! Or , lastly , shall we say that , fearing your date of office was out , you were resolved to gratify your spleen before yon retired and give yon successor
a red-hot wand to handle ? Brave men nave been sent on services only fit for the vilest cowards ; the British flag has been tarnished with guilt and sent round the globe to show its shame ; an angry fend has been exoited in France ; passions , long laid , wantonly provoked into action ; the Indignation and contempt of all humane and honest men excited ; and all this because our foreign Minister happens to be a busy-body , a mischief-maker , a > second marplot , who rouses the very objections which be seeks to allay . We mast brew ear tea with blovd , because , in return for that cheering
herb , we are determined to make the Chinese take a poisonous drag ; and we must bring all Europe about oar ears , because we could not let Egypt alone . Nay more , it is likely tbat tarkey , for -whose Bake we bave made so many enemies , will itself join them against as , because we do not compel Egypt , as well a » Syria , to submit to her bow-string . Tbe morality of the action Is not affected by its success . And this is the boasted Paimeratoh policy—your policy , my Lord . The -wise Lord Bacon says that Christians should wage a war of extermination with books , you have fought for the Koran , like a good Islamite . -
You bave alleged several reasons to excuse your folly and turpitude ; the mut flimsy of all Is , the pretence of regulating the balance of power . France , with us , throws a weight in tbe scale that makes , all the other nations kick the beam . France neutral , it fluctuates in uncertainty ; France opposed , and we . find our equal at sea , our superior on land . Another reason is , the integrity of the Porte—he is the legitimate sovereign" fine word that legitimate r and you synq » athise with him , while M . Thiers sympathises with the Pacha , who is certainly more fit to be a sovereign . But the strangest of your reasons is , that Mehemet was ill-using bis subjects ; as if the Sultan would use them better . My

Lord , how happens it that you can spy tyranny *> £ off , and be so Indignant at ft , and yet not see h home , or be indifferent about it 1 . Yonr foreign piJL is not-less detestable than the domestic policy of « colleagues . I believe that the true teasen of you * mity against Mehemeti -was envy Of his fame , and , ito that , a desire to vex France , if itcanld be done ^ impunity .

I would not jojwl this ; bat the evils which you have voluntarily don « t , him , were for the sake of evil—you have said , —"« be thou my goad . " The friendly feelings which &
hemet entertained towards England and the EagQA and of which he has given us many flattering p ^ J were not so much as interrupted by your most unjJ yoked aggressions . He sent Ma sons to be edocjjd bete ; he paid particular attention to all English t « w lers , and be constantly employs English brokers to ^ him every scientific improvement made in EnguJ How barbarously , bow monstrously he has been * qulted ! whatever reason be might have to exiM hostilities from Russia , ' Austria , and Tiub .

TheFrM could only express useless pity for him , and indW , tion against us . They bave been vilified for this , w tbeir " fine frenzy" ridiculed ; but you , my Lord , m incapable of appreciating their generous character , m tbe high-minded designs of tbe man they Bynipatofc witb . There is poetry in tbat people ; and God foity that they should ever ceas » to detest and despise (^
cold-blooded policy of a Goth and Vandal , such as jm have shown yourself . Honour , honesty , and hum&jitj were all forgotten or trampled upon by you ; and tin chance of Christianizing Egypt , which , under tit tolerant sway of the Pacha , was more than probabfeunder the intolerant Sultan is all but impossible Though these things will not grieve you , nor the aitk . devils , your middle-class Whig supporters , yet hot will you answer to them in a matter of far gretty importance in their eyes , the loss of such a good
catomer as Mehemet has ever been ? You are a cunning- gambler , my Lord ; you make sn > of winning before you play . You send an armameot against one nation that can be killed—but knows m how to kill ; and you take overwhelming odds agai * another . Tbe easiness of tbe conquest shows the 4 » honour of it . No brave men can boast of it ; although the gasconading Napier has received additional bonem

How many boys and pli have bad tbeir little limbs shot off by the guns wiii you commanded to be fired ? How many infants 2 un been killed at tbeir mothers' breasts 1 What devastation and horror not to be spoken of , not to be thought of , have you spread among families that never did joutsj barm , that do not so much as know the reason vb ; The very devils , engaged in this hellish work , sickened at the sight of what they bad done . Ah , my Lord , lad you been anything but a Whig , every cannon ball find at the houses and homes of tbe poor Chinese ud Syrians , would have knocked at your heart . I viii that , instead of sitting at ease , in your arm-chair , vili

The Tories love you hmo you are like them , and your middle-class partioai care not what cruelties you commit to spite the Cbar > tists , who alone pity your victims . True , you bin the power to meddle and make mischief ; but the am power you have , the more mercy you should have , fflj should you needlessly provoke tbe curse of God onto country ? Can the friendship of Turkey compeoati tbe enmity of France , or even of Egypt ? Englaniii like a turtle on the ocean , safe while It keeps within Si own shell : but you have thrust out its head intoi foreign quarrel , and thereby endangered the wiolt body .
All honour to the manes of Lord Holland / though » member of a Whig cabinet , he took the enlightened yiew of the Eastern question , which M .
