Athens and Lacedaemon

At this jointure I rejoice to price my opinions corroborated by these of an in a position and a discovered writer (Mr. Lecky) who has visited this conflict floor, and contemplated the state of affairs of the groaning progeny of Athens and Lacedaemon with the enlarged thoughts of a thinker and the data of a profound statesman.

Not like a dilettante, has he admired the monuments of its fallen grandeur, and in a Hood of tears exclaimed, “O Grecian glorify surprised knelled toe reminiscence” however he has projected its restoration, and, as a real patriot, feeling additionally for his personal nation, he has demonstrated, that on this occasion rely the glory, the interred, the salvation of Britain.

Mr. Lecky presents the general public with a plan, not pricey in males or cash, however abounding in reJourc.es of each—he proposes, that we (loudly occupy the Greek islands, and provides to the individuals a free authorities, private tour Ephesus akin to would fulfill their ambition, and place them within the full enjoyment of that rational liberty they pant for.

Mr. Lecky fays u the plan to occupy; the Greek islands has been rejected by our ministers, and zee belief proceed to how that the niggled of it should enfetter to the French the entire accomplishment of their views in Afta. I’m as keen to consider Mr. Lecky is inulin fashioned of the intention of ministers, as 1 am satisfied of the reality of the consequence he attracts.

The discuss of censure I due to this fact go away to Mr. Lecky. However it’s the obligation of each devoted Briton to state manfully the knowledge he acquires, if it could promote the respect and curiosity of his nation: who shrinks from this, is unworthy of his birthright: and no minister, no matter his personal opinions could also be, can have the littleness of thoughts, 1 hope, to connect blame to the noble of sentiments, devotion to our nation.

Pursuit of spouse measures

We don’t reside in instances when social gathering distensions ought to occupy the thoughts of the statesman, or ministers be obtruded within the pursuit of spouse measures. If they’re incapable, allow them to be eliminated by the united voice of reality, not the outcry of faction. The final welfare, nay, the very existence of the Hate, requires unanimity of council and for the dispassionate listening to of cause, come from which fide it could, or events can be annihilated with the annihilation of the late.
