A Morning Journalist expresses himself in very warm terms respecting the d•smissal of the Duke of Otranto; and an Evening Journalist has defended him with warmth. Nothing can 'be better than all this. His cause may, perhaps, be a good one; but even the worst of causes, when it Is hopeless. has an interesting side for honourable minds. The first ut those Journalists has remarked, very sagacimi.ly, that the circular addressed by Fouche to the M , Ostrates of the departments of the West, and inserted in some Public Journals, Must have produced the most dangerous effects; and be thus supports his reasoning :—•• if the facts related in this circular are false, the Minister is inexcusable ; if they are true, it is still worse for him—he ought to be prosecuted with all th- rigour of the law." The Advocate for the Minister answers, that the events related are true, and that the papers to justify toem ate in existence; that there war nothing to pre vent the Minister from publishing them, since their Publicity is a necessary consequence of the principle of the responsibility of Ministers. But what answer will the Advocate make to the following letter ? Our duty eqmpels us to give it the greatest publicity : " PARIS, SZPT. 21, ISIS.

We subjoin the fol lowing extract from the Papers which tire above Mail has brought u•: BRUSSELS, SEPTEMBER Q The town of Montmedy is nearly reduced to ashes. The Prussians having taken the lower town, have lodged themselves in it in such a manner that they are covered from the fire of the besieged. Notwith standing a violent bombardment, the Governor will not submit ; he has again hoisted the tricoloured and it seems that he can depend upon his garrison. A fresh Prussian corps is marching to attack Verdun. A furious bombardment is now opened upon Charles moat. In proportion as fresh Prussian troops arrive upon the Meuse, they advance further into France. It is positively asserted that the number of the Prus• sian troops now upon French ground is 250.000 men. The cuirassiers are being remounted in Normandy. Great fear seems still to prevail in French Flanders and Artois. The military duty in the fortresses which are still occupied by the French, is performed with the greatest exactness and rigour ; and in some of these fortresses no stranger is allowed to pass a single night upon any pretence whatsoever. Yesterday morning the Duke of Yoaz came to town from Oatlands, and transacted military business with the PRINCE REGENT, at Carlton House. The Dukes of KENT and CUMBERLAND visited the PRINCE REGENT yesterday, at Carlton House. Yesteiday the Saxon General, who has lately arrived in England on a tnission, was introduced to the PRINCE REGENT, at Carlton house, by Earl BATHURST.

CORI~ACT Ltxl NL'SB aFrlti u AckNßAt PEDESTRIA.v. FIFTFENTII DAY. Wilson fas we mentioned in our last) did not finish hi% fifty miles on the Wickham-road till half past five o'clock yesterday morning, a delay snore protracted than any which had taken place since the commence ment of his labours. This may be attributed to two causes--first, the great impediments which were thrown in his way on Sunday, both from the severity of the weather, and the badness of the two pieces of ground which he first tried ; and, next, fram an un generous as well as unmanly inurruptiln which was offered to him soon after he had completed his forty second mile. The interruption to which we allude was given by some persons who, while sitting in a public house in town, heard of the hardships to which the unfortunate man had been exposed, and at once concluded that it would be impossible for him to finish his labour before six o'clock, Bets were im mediately offered against him, and some went so far as to wager ten to one that he failed. No sooner were these wagers closed than the doubt which ex isted induced the persons into rested to take a post. chaise and proceed to the scene of action. On their arrival at Lord Gwydit'a Lodge, they alarmed its in mates by loud cries of--44 Ten to one he does not do it," and other vociferations equally disheartening to the mifn. Some time was spent in altercation, ana in. treaties to these persons to depart. They , were, how. ever, not to be moved. Wilson, who had been re freshing, was then brought forth, and placed on his ground, unaffected by their words, and pursued his course with determined activity. Those who bad, as they now ascertained (to all appearance), unwisely laid such immense odds, im mediately-changed the features of their attack, and accused Wilson with having only performed two and forty miles on Friday tri;;llt. This assertion' was at once negatived by those gentlemen who had kept an account of his progress ; and they at the same time declared their readiness to testify, in any way, however solemn, that he had not failed in a single yard of his task. For ourselves, we can only 6.47, that from what we saw, so far has he been from wish. irg to flinch from the full measure of his distance, that he has always declared his wish rather to go a few yaids over the mile, than under. On Sunday, especially, he frequently went two paces beyond the limits of his hall mile, lest any ground of objection should exist. At the conclusion of the fifty miles, which com pleted the :even hinisfredth mile of his whole comple ment, he was priced in a post-chaise, and was driven gently to Mr. Dyer's house, aCtismitanied by that gentieman's brother, Mr. Stephenson, and Mr. Mase. Having - had some refreshment, he was put to bed at eight o'clock. He had previously slept well in the chaise, and after three hours further nap, he was awoke. He then breakfasted, and after this meal, was drawn in the usual way to the starting post, where he atrived at ten minutes before twelve o'clock. Hering drank a glass of water, he addressed the mul titude by which •he was surrounded, nearly . in the following terms : GENTLINIIII4-1 have now completed my seven hundredth mile qtlite to my own satisfaction, as ti I hope to your's. In hav ing accomplished so much of my task, I have done as much as any pedestrian who bas preceded me, in the ante time, and-I am now about to commence th ree hundred more miles, which I hope I shall be permitted to perform without molestation. This will be more than any other man has hitherto done. I ant but a• poor man, and I have no wish to give offence to any person indeed I would rather put up with insult, and I have barn ex posed hut to.too many, than be thought captious or 111-mannered. In starting this morning I have only to request you will gin me room, kis all the accommodation I %Ant. A free circulation of air is almost as necessary to me as food, and 1 entreat you will keep at a distance." Having made this address he was loudly cheered, and the wannest expressions of admiration burst from quarttrs. The poor fellow then set off in high spirits, accompanied by his usual friends, and in '2O Minutes finished his first mile. On this occasion he again addressed the populace as follows " I have now, Gentlemen, gene one mile more than any pe destlian, under similar circumstances ; 'and, with the help of }lmminence, 1 have tm doubt I shall complete the whole ens j Ammar.' miles within the twenty da)s. I feel myself well and contfortable, and I sincerely hope the Magistrates of this county will not feel it n:ccssary to disturb me. I mein no disrespect to these genikmen ; but I am quite unconscious of having, in any one instance, been imtruntental to riot or tonludon. If, however, they are determined to stop me, I must only declare, that my ,is duns not arise front any wan: of physical sirengi h." The poor fellow then took another glass of water, And pursued his walk. The crowd by which lie was encompassed was as great as on any former day ; their conduct was, however, marked by the utmost decorum, and nothing occurred which could be term ed at all indicative qt an intention to riot. His second wile took him 18 minutes—the third mile 17 minutes —and by four o'clock, including stoppages ter re freshments, he had done l 2 miles —the last four in 67 minutes. His pace was as steady as on any for merday, and his friends still entertained hopes, with perseverance, that lie would be enabled to succeed. Having washed his feet, he partook of some calves foot jelly, and then lay down on the bed, where he slept for about half au hour ; and on recommencing . • . _ • his course, at a citiaiker before . five o'clock, he start with additional spirits. At starting he shekiecd alittle stiffness, bilt he soini birercaine this, and in the ensuing tw.' hours and * qu met, that is to sly, by seven o'clock; accom plished his twentieth mile. He now Ate a heairy meal of cold fowl sent him by Mrs. Dyer, and dear! same Madeira and water. His rest was but sh, et, however, and he was soon again on fiat. By twelire o'clock last night he had reached his thin precond mile, a considerable time having h.:eu in the interim front seven &toted to rest and tort sh".ent. Yesterday was altogether propitions, both to the. pfdestrian himself, and to the numerous visitors of all ranks, who flocked to the Heath to witness hit motions. The path over which he tr teat lined on both sides by persons of resreem ;lay, who did not fail to express for him their go d wi4i.s, in return for which he always made some assurance of personal confidence in his ability to go on. In the course of the morning sevetal !titers were received by the landlord of the Hare and Bullet, and from different parts of the kingdom, ircommending various expedients to prevent the excoria.ron of Wil son's feet, and expressing a warm des re for his s% el. fare. ,There were two or three letters from ured.c al gentlemen, suggesting specifics which they had seen used with the best effects by soldiers rin long marches: In fact, there seems to be a most extraordinary in. serest excited in the event of this match, in alp pats of the kingdom—and that it may be completed :or the poor man's sake, we sincerely wish. At present it is impossible to form a correct judg. mart. The odds are certainly agaiose the match. but in contradiction to these stands the undiminished confidence of Wilson in his own ability. After ibis day there will remain but' tour collets to accomplish the whole. Sir] EENTH DAY: Wilson finished his arduous task of fifty miles this morning at twenty minutes before six o'clock.— He had, of course, completed 7.54 miles out of the 1000. At the close of the performance he appe.irod in high spirits, and assured the by.st.ndeis tfiat he still felt confident of success, if he was not interrupted. He had repeatedly, during the night, expressed him self in the same terms. From midnight to the mo ment at which he left off, he was still attended by 40 or .50 persons, whose repeated cheers greatly aided him in 'his career. He retired to rest at the usual place of entertainment, and started again at eleven; and, at half-past twelve, when our Reporter leit the Heath, he was walkiag as well as ever.

The number re viewed was about 63.000 men, including the H tno. verian Hussars under the command of Baron ALTEN. Among other manceuvres was that of an attack upon Montmartre. The Allied Sovereigns were present, and appeared highly gratified at this military display. A more numerous or splendid Staff perhaps never i graced the presence of the most illustrious chiefs that) that which surrounded the Duke of WELLINGT9N: His Grace appeared in most excellent spirits, and conversed a great.part of the time with their Impaial and Royal Majesties, the Archdukes CONSTAN lINS and PAUL, Prince WILLIAM, &c. &c.
