r e congratulate the Morning Chronicle on the recovery of its

healthy and independent tone. Within the last few days, something of its for- mer freshness and vigour of thought and expression has been infused into its columns. This change is more creditable to the Chronicle than agreeable to the Globe—till lately the supposed organ of the Ministry as a whole ; but now, it would seem, under the patronage only of the Tory section of the Cabinet. At least, that is the only conclusion which we can draw from the following passage, which appeared in the Chronicle of Thursday. .6 What is our contemporary the Globe about ? It assumes to itself the character of a Ministerial paper. It has the run of the Foreign Office, and peeps in at other Oakes on the road to it. Ace we then to consider the tone which it has of late adopted as

amt'ouctl by the Ministers? Me the praises of Sir Robert Peel, the abuse of the 101.

o. .t and the recumutendaltunts of a " union between the Mth.erate Whigs MI 110.h.r3te Torlei" to be taken as indications of Ministerial wishes anti Ministerial in. tffam•s? If so, the sooner the mask is torn off the better. The power of the weal Litterat majority which supports the Goveroment in the noose of Contutousoultst not be applied to such unworthy purposes. That majority ROW keeps the Ministera tu place, in the Itoneit belief that they intend to use the power so-vestral In them for the mainte- usttee of true literal Idinciples, and the stead y prosecution of reel mens me, of reforma- tine and ituprovetueut. If we are to judge at their intentions by the language of the 01ae. they are of a very different tendency—the baseness of which cant uly be equalled b) their treacherons nature. Let us hope that these feelers proceed only from that por- tion of the Ministry, who would fain redeem their abandonment of the Tory ranks three years ago, by as signal a return to them the moment they conaelvo the fitting oc- casion pmseuts itself. We will take leave to inform these plottera, that their attempt will be Gullies,. There are those in the Adminiat ration who will ' ftnstate their knavish tricks and ahOvT. all, them is a spirit in the Constituent Body and their Represents- tic's to Parliament, which will, when called forth, greedily annihilate these petty and igtiorant intrigaers, and prove ta them that they must not mistake the forbearatre un- der %shit+ they have been suffered to remain a part of a Liberal Administration, :or usc- uui • mouce in their principles or eneourageutent of their schemes."

Not satisfied with this, the Chronicle, in another article, referred in terms by no means complimentary to the Gtobe's advocacy of the cause of Sir William Smith against a portion of the Ministry. The defence of the Evening Paper was made in a very subdued strain, and consisted of little more than an apology for having attacked any act of Ministers ; and a declaration that the articles in its columns were written by differ- ent persons, who " perhaps frankly express their own opinions." Yesterday, the Chronicle returned to the charge ; reminding the Globe, that in November last the political tirade of Baron Smith pro- voked its severe animadversion ; and thus alluding to the injury which the G/obe had done the Government by its advocacy of the unpopular side of several questions- ,. We yesterday reluctantly directed the attention of the public to certain recent sus- picious and Conservative paragraphs in the Okke, which we know to have been highly injurious of late to the Whig Administration, aud to have begotten a suspicion that sonic port in of the Government was better affected to Toryism than to liberal princh ples. We did this with regret, bee ruse the Globe was formerly the propagandist of every enli,Atcued opinion, and of the most liberal policy. Bat the nt•rvons system or or contemporary has been recently strangely affected. and hiS demiadlicial character hfIS greatly puzzled and chagrined the supporters of Government. We have seen ye- pettier! instances of misconception of tire intentions of the Ministry extracted from the columus of the Globe, and severely tommented upon by the Country Calera; and we have one ins' anee before us of a Northern Provincial paper so late as last week. We ardeutly hope that the Govertnneut has been misrepresented through this organ or imbue commonly:Won, because tlm tenor of some of the Conservative effitaions of the Globe has been strangely at variatwe with the proF•ssed opinions of the Liberal part of the Ministry. Lord Brougham's Bill, the Diffusion of lin mledge, the Abuses or City Companies. Church Reform, the Law of 1,ibel, anti various pending subjects of legisla- tion have Iwo, at times most ambiguously stated; and the Ballot, tormetly so emouriie an :Wide of Milli with our contemporary. has been lately denounced NS the typo of' destructive opinions ; told fall/hies against its efficacy put forth, which none so ably retuted in former times as the (Robe • of old.'" All this, in spite of assertions to the contrary, indicates a division of opinion in the Cabinet, and a very marked one too. For, till within a

few days, the two papers, now at war, worked harmoniously together. _
