The Morning Chronick of this day concludes an or tide on the subje.t of the Corn Trade with the fol lowing paragraph It is the duty of every man who loves his country, and wishes its prosperity, to support Ministers at this conjuncture. The land holders of England are arrayed against the people; they have an interest distinct front that of the people. It is highly honourable to Ministers, that, circumstanced u they are, they should have the hardihood to prefer, on this occasion, sound principles to the preju dices of their masters. But they require iupport, and if the people fail them cinemas a tuomenteus oeeailbu , they will deserve to be for ever afterwards trodden in the dust. How can it be expected that any Minister should ever dare to think of the public interests, or to listen to any other consideration than. that of his own convenience, if the ripple be not true' to themselves at this trying crisis?' In the whole of these sentiments we entirely concur : fur, although the true and permanent interest of tha landhollers never can be distinct from that of the people, yet, by the systematic efforts which that body have recently commenced, it is most evident that they are pursuing measures which are directly at variance with the interest of the people, and thus they are la bout ing to establish a state of things which will con duce no less to their own ruin than to that of all the manufacturing classes. It appears, that at the Agricultural Meeting, in idge-street, the land-owners have agreed to coalesce with the discontented maiter-manuracturers, who op posed the removal of the restrictions on foreign trade, in order to compel the Ministers to retrace their steps. And thus the one poly proposes to deprive the poor arthnn of employment, while the other intends that be Lab pay an enhanced price for bread. Both factions con cur in deprecating free trade of ar.y kind. But to v hat will those insane councils ultimately lead ? Ruin— lcritable ruin to both parties, unless their purposes are abandoned. By opening our ports to the manufactured produc-1 tirns of foteign countries, it is self-evident that no in ktry is occasiuned to the native monepoli,t, unless he desires to sell his wares for a higher pike than that s.Lich the foreigner is willing to acc•pt for the same at Oafs. But is not such enhanced price a tax on the consumer, for the sole benefit of the home manufae tore ? not the consumption also of the de trer article diminished in quantity by reason of the high pike? Consequently there is so n.uch subtracted float human enjoy mews. Besides, no foreign .article whatsoever can be sold in these markets unless an equirbilent vAlne in B•itish Manufactures is expnt-ted in exchange. Consequently, the greater 'tke import, the greater the employment provided. for the industrious population of our country. And are we to 'return to pauperism and wretchedness :4 :Id crime. and demoralisation, the constant concornit u::•s of idleness, merely that a few capitalists may retain their accustomed profits . on 'a sthall scale, whereas, if tLey were more eral ghtenicl, they wnuld ceivc that the same amount of profit, is very consistent with a ell apen and mote extensive supply ? They are actuated by the spirit of the Dutch E ist India Compiny, which' destroyei the spice tices _in order to lc,•ep up the price of the article. If out manufactures are not extended by ope n ing 10e%ign . market,, ow artificers mii t ealigra , e or ,t.n ve ; ,vicither of which vdl they con.ctit to do, so lung a, - there is.'thin their reach a more nbvions remedy r— I and thereinre, the enlightened peaty of our 'Ministers js labouring to establish the security and happiness of the very men who so resolutely oppose all improve ment. truly does our totemporary assert, that Go vernment requires support: and we do trust that they will receive that support from the vast majority of a grateful people. We have received the Moik of yesterday, no Journal sppe3ring in Pails on Monday. It contains nothing further respecting the death of the Emperor ALEXANDER, but very properly ridicules the absurd story in a Lon don !Wining Paper, of the EMPEROR having been assassinated. It appears that it was on the 17th of November that his Imperial MAJEent returned to Taganrck, from h's tour in the Clime.). The Emperor cossrANTINE set out from Warsaw on the 17th inst. for St. Petersburg!). On Sundt y the King of FitAxda presided at a Council of Ministers, at which the DAUPHIN assisted. His t)IA ' ZESTY afterwards gave audience to the Committee of Revision, who presented their Re p ort, and thanked them for the zeal and assiduity with which they had discharged the important task with which they were entrusted. " A King." said his MAJESTY, " should only govern by the laws. It k necessary that our laws should be in harmony with the present state of things ; this is my wis►t and desire, and I hope all my subjects will assist in accomplishing it. Nothing is more Ilene. ficial to subjects than well constituted laws, and nothing can facilitate more the duties of the throne." It is announced that a new amnesty will he granted to four persons condemned for political offence, ; Co SIN, FOURRE ) ARTUAUD, and LAWCAT I are named, as the persons. The Duc Ds BLACAS, Ambassador from Fra tce to the Court of Naples, arrived in Paris on Monday. A letter from Leghorn states, that Mtatnts had placed himself between the Tutkish and Egyptian fleets, in such a way as to prevent 'hem f►om assis:ing each other when he attack, d them. IBRAIIII4 whose army is sa , d to amount to nearly 16.000 men, is said to be in the neighbourhood of Navatino, where he intends to p.ss the winter. One account states, that he has lost 14,000 men in the Morea, in the several engagements, and three hundred by sickness. This forenoon we received German Pipers to the `22,1 inst. The Austria's Übzervcr of the 15th and 160) instant, does not contain any account of the Emperor of RusstA's death, on account we presume, of the in telligence not having officially reached the Court of Vienna. Accolnts from Odessa, of the 4th December, state that there is no chance of the Divan listening to any proposal of the European Powers, to negociate with the Greeks. It is said, that the Russian Ambassador at Constantinople, M. MINZIACKY, has delivered a new Note to the Reis Effendi, in which he complains, that the Beschli Agas (as is confirmed by accounts from the frontiers of Bessarabia), after they had left the Principa- lities of Moldavia arid Wallachia, soon returned, and had been the cause of dreadful excesses. Tbe account says, it is evident from all the circumstances, that the Porte, in the first impulse of fear which it felt at the visit of the Emperor ALZIANDIR to the army, gave orders for the departure of the Beschli Agas, but pro• bably gtve them, at the same time, secret instructions of a different natui e. Accounts from Constantinople of the 29th ult. std.:, that on the preceding day the Mufti had been dis- missed from his office, but the cause of his disgrace was unknown. The article from Constantinople mates, that SOO Greeks from Samos, who landed in Candia, had all been killed ; that in the Morea, on tLe arrival of the Tuikish fleet, Napoli di Romania offered to capitulate, and that an insurrecti )n had broken out there, in which three of the Members of Government were murdered : better authority is, however, neces sary, before we give these reports credence.

Coat, Dec. 20.—The Britifbnia, of Padstow, 72 tons, was lost ' in the gale of last night, at Ballyaudrine Bay, about ten miles west of Ball cotton. She struck on a rock, quite close to the store, at about Sit o'clock, and was dashed to pieces. Every person on board, except the Captain, was lost. I send a list of all on board when she struck ; she was in ballast :—Joys Biomes, Captain, was saved ; James Simmons, Owner; William Power, Mate; John Gibbs, of Monmouthshire; David Williams, from Newport; David (surname unknown), of Marino, near Passage. The ellptain lashed himself with another to a rack, where they remained, with thus waves breaking over them, for six hours, till they were per ceived at daylight. The Captain was with the utmost diffatuilty got off, but his companion was at the time quite dead,sand has been since washed away. Medical aid for the Captain was procured by Faants itowtaND, Esq. and he is likely to do well. The principal Louden .bankers are doing all in their power to le.sen the circulation of one and two pound - note. in the country ; and instances have occurred in which a positive refusal has been given to continue to conduct the agency for country banks, unless the small notes within a given time shall be withdrawn from circulation. The ohiet is, if possib!e, to exclude all country bank-notes under the value of Ed. each. The Court of France went into mourning on Sunday last, for twenty-one days, for the late Emperor ALexa ANDtft. The mourning is to be black for the first eleven days,•and white ior the last ten. The Court of the Netherlands has also gone into mourning for six week, r the first three weeks in full, and the remainder in hail mourning. The* rs ryal Military Academy of Wo ir.vich is at pre sent so. much exhausted of CaJets, who had passed that Academy, in consequence of the numerous Corn miss;ons that were*given them in April last in the line, that to meet the vacancies now in the Artillery and Engineers, puticu:arly . the latter corps. circulars have . been forwarded to those Ensigns with their Regi ments at home,' to know if they will be re-commissioned in the 0. dnance Regiments ? Their answers generally have not been favourable to the measure. A party of the Police and a Bailiff, on E.iday mot mng last, proceeded to the house of a Capt. Beggs, at the top of Phipsborrgh Avenue, Dublin, •in order to at rest him. One of them, mote daring thaw the rest, ascended seine 'tees, for the purpose of getting over the garden wall; :tad, tough cautioned by the Captain, not to proceed further, I:e utsregarded the caution, and jiimps•d into the garden, when the Captain immediately discharged a gun, the contents of which were lodged in the neck of tie policeniati, and lie died instantly, Captain Beggs then armed him•ulf with a case of pistols, proceeded out of the fu,use, and threatened to shoot the firs man that approached hia,, by which in:ans he -stapes!.

As a specimen, , we lowing remarks on the present Administration: " It must be admitted that there "as anm et hi t i g . ol . peculiar goo , ' luck in the circum gances p :h o i ,d ch wil n the brough t :he present Foreign S•cretary and the Chancellor of t h e Exchequer into power, preci.ely at the general prospects of the .State had begu n brighter aspect ; when, to use the commm plira,e. th e corner of our difficulties Hid been in a manner tur ne d , and the period of sacrifice and privation was ab out to be succeeded by general improvement in our resource s , and gradual remission of the pressure of public bur. dens. But we do not think that the popularity ( f t h e Ministers in question is altogether ascribable to this circumstance: or that much of it is not to he directly attribited to the more enlarged and enlightened view which seem to mark the measures of the Cabine t since the period of the changes in cpsestion.. Tat it bimiii.i fall to the lot of the present Chancellor of the Etche. quer to takeoff taxes, instead of laying them on, as wa s the more invidious duty of his predecessor, i. no Juubc to be ascribed to circumstances over winch neither the 'one nor the other of those statesmen could.exerci e ..:). effectual cuntroul ; but there still r. mains much to a; ,.. plaud in the greater simpli c ity and directness ~f Mr. Itobinson'sfivanCial arrangement and ezpoinn3, arl its the manner in which he has sought to inalot 1'...e re. mission of tasa.ion co-operate towards the revie4l k 1 our foreign trade. So with respect to the m , re eu• larged and enlightened system which Air. Hublci,sta l has introduced into our c3nametcial ald colonial po. licy. After admitting the full merit of his predeces. sors at the Board of Trade, for the opening which they had made to this important change, it must be ;dined that the present President has cam. d a spirit into those measures more decided and systematic of reform, which promises to accomplish, within no very distant p erio d, the most important revolution which our commetcial histor y has witnessed, " In considering, under this point of vied, the los reign relations of the country, we perhaps 5.11411 111 some measure invert the application of our remark; for here it is the fashion to give Mr. Canning the credit of having directly reversed the general policy of his pre. decessar. But in this also, as in every other case, Lir. cumstan:es have done more than individuals. Lord Londonderty, had he lived, whatever may have been his monarchical or aristocratical propensities, must, at the Minister of a free country, have cea-ed v. co.ope. rate with his friends of. the Holy Alliance, from the moment of their declaration of a systematic crusade against any attempt to introduce a' more liberal system of Government ioto the Continental Stites f Europe.. This disuniod of policy on the part of fi igland was, ire tact, sufficiently manifested, both in our conduct to wards Naples, arid still more in the dispatch in which, shortly after the outbreaking of the Spanish Revolu tion, the late Foreign fiectetary deprecated any inter• ference on the part of the Alliance, for the interruption of suppression of *at movement. So far the conduct of the Government was necessarily. dictated to it, bat by the spirit of oar own institutions and the prevailing direction of public opinion in the country. el Mr. Canning's peculiar merit, we think, lies much less in the particular c .urse of proceeding which he has adopted in these transactions than t..e language he has used, and the principles which he has pu forward in justification of that course. In. saying this, we are very far f i r. m intending any depreciation of the value of his services; on the contrary, none can rat: than more highly. In these days of the almost paramount authority of public opinion, the language of the Eng lish Minister is, perhaps, of as much importance as bit measures. Our simple protest against the iweasion of Spain, grounded as it was upon a general disclaimer of the principles on shicti that act of aggression was professed to be founded, was a measure prohably . of I more salutary consequence to the liberties of Europe 'than would have been the expedition of a fleet sled army to the assistance of the Spanish Constitutionalists,_ if attributable to no other.purpose than that of resisting the political preponderance which France was abut to acquire in the Peninsula. It is much less by the stees which he his adopted, than the tone in which h e has spoken, that Mr. Canning has, to use the phrase of the French politicians, placed his country at the head of el viliaation.. We doubt not but that a large, powerful, and growing party, throughout Europe, 10.. k up to hint as the best assertor of their. principle,, an d the mutt effectual protector of their rights. This is a hie, but critical and arduous situation: Mr. Canning, we are sure, perfectly appreciates all its importance and glory: and has hitherto manifested no want of that refined diss cretion and delicate precision, which is necissary to guide both his movements and his language in a 13 , isi• Lion , of such nice and complicated dif f iculty.' a. • Janus; or, the itdinburgh Literary Almaaack for H.ee Such is the title of a new annual publication which has just appeared in Edinburgh: - In Germanys, the most popular writers send their contributions to the Almanacks, and from the contents of this .yolutne we should say the example has been followed in this ho stance. Indeed manrof articles are evidently theflros ductions of the ablest pens, and we have heard the names of some of the writers, whose literary reputation is so high as to confer a distinction on any work to which they contribute. We take, almost at random, the ing characteristc sketches, which we extract from a very clever article, entitled " Glasgow Revisited: „, "'Duly I fi nd sad havoc among my fatn . ' t faces.'
