A Hundred Years Ago
THE " SPECTATOR," OC'TOBER 20TH, 1832.
The French Press continue their attacks upon the new Ministry with unrelenting bitterness ; in which, we perceive, they are joined by the Press of London also. The Times is excessively indignant that W. TRIERS, an bi--editor of a newspaper, should be a Minister : and the Chronicle rails at the theorists; or Dootrinaires as they are called, for their practical inefficiency. If we recollect aright, the denunciation of CASIMIR PRIMER'S Ministry was, at its commence- ment, quite as violent, and yet it stood its ground wonderfully. The present Cabinet of France has indeed no PERIER among them. TALL RAND seems satisfied, and we- look upon him as a better judge than either French journalists or English : he returned to London on Monday, having delayed his departure till the Ministry was formed.
