The plea might be valid had any reason existed for our engaging in a war. But that on which we are now entering is one which we ought. never to have had any thing to do with. The contest between 3IIMEMET ALI and the Sultan was at civil war, in which no foreign nation had a right to interfere. No British subject has suffered by that war either in person or property, affording us a pretext to interfere. It would have been terminated ere now, but tbr our interference, by an ar- rangoment between the Sultan and :Nlansmier Am. That arrange- ment was forbidden, not from any consideration of' the rights and interests of the Sultan, or the Pasha, or the people sub- ject to either; but from certain considerations of an imaginary interest which some foreign states ffincied they had in the settle- ment. It is said that the integrity of the Ottoman empire must be preserved : as if the relative positions of the Sultan and 111s11i- NET ALI were the cause of that dissolution of the Ottoman power, and dismemberment of the Ottoman empire, of which they are really the consequences. It is said that MallEMET Am is a tyrant, and that the Syrians must be rescued feom his grasp : then, why do those who interfere to snatch them front it oiler at the same time to give him a more assured lease of power over the Eg■ pt hums? Who is our colleague in this Quixotic crusade in favour of the liberties of the Syrians ?—the man who has annihilated the nation- ality of Poland. Lastly, we shall be told that we are making more ado about this scar than it is worth ; that it is a trilling undertaking, NN'hiell will he achieved immediately; that the power of AlanismEr Am is entirely dispoTortioned to the fierce arrayed against him. It may be so : because the war is (like the frail fair or,C.i baby) " a very little one," it is not the less a thing to be ashamed of; nor are the evils aceruieg from it to Great Britain, which we have pointed out above, the less real. It' the war be as trifling as it has been shown to be without cause, the presumption is that it has been engaged in only for the purpose of finding employment for military and. naval dependents, and allbrding an excuse fur not attending to clamorous urgers of'
grievances. It is more easy, however, to begin hostilities than to bring them to an end. Mere blockades, it is clear, will not suffice : if .Talmtamsr Am is to be put down, European troops must be marched into the territories he occupies. It' Russian troops are employed, what guarantee have we for the " independence and in-
tegrity of the Ottoman empire" ?5—if Austrian troops, bow long will Italy and Hungary remain quiet ? A child may set a house on fire, but it requires the judgment and strength of ninny men to
extinguisli it. •
