The death of Mr. RUSK ISSO)I, adds another to those un expected fortuitous events, which appear so rapidly, in suc cession, to be thinning that circle, to which the people of this country have been habituated to look for their states- men. It is a fact which has been observed—but never, we think, satisfactorily accounted for that at the present period of British history, there is not that superfluous crop of first-rate talent, in the higher ranks of this country, which had formerly seldom admitted a perceptible vacancy to be noticed, in the succession of public characters.. Is it that men, as to intellectual acquirements, are becoming so equalized, that to be prominent, is an achievement too heartless and discouraging to stimu late the human energies to exertion ? Is it that the rewards of the statesman, combined with his fatigues and cares, are not appreciated as formerly ?—or, that there is some imperfections in the accustomed mode of culti vating the mental capabilities of the higher ranks, which are not advancing them, in proportion with the mass of mankind, at their feet ? These are questions curious to investigate ; but which we must leave unsolved. We be lieve the fact, however, that while original talent, of all descriptions, is existing in the country, it does not distinguish those in the higher seats of the Synagogue. Mr. Huse isson was of a class of Statesmen, which, al though of the first value, would make his way to pre eminent station in no country but in this; and we are in clined to think, so much has reason gained on the empire of rhetoric, that even his progress in this country, in former times, would not have been so practicable as in these times. That he must have possessed substantial and original energies of mind cannot be doubted ; for it is well known that it was his talents alone, which gradually advanced him from a humble noviciate, in provincial medical practice, to be a leader among British Statesmen. Along with talent he had, it likewise cannot be doubted, that moral worth, which can alone confer permanent influence on the most intellectual solid merit ; and that habitual industry which can alone ren ders talent and virtue useful to society. The loss of such a character must be deeply regretted. If ever there was a period when this country required an efficiently vigorous, and at the same time efficiently sagacious Government, it is the present. The chasms that aro opening in all parts of Europe—the ex tending agitation which is penetrating the most an ciently tranquil quarters—and the wonderful revolution per ceptible iu the public opinion of this country, are ominous of a period of trouble, even to this country, which only can be (liiiiini6bed, in its evil effects, by great fortitude, sacicitv, and decision, in our Statesmen, and temperate support to their acts, by those who have any power to .nfluence the people. We speak not lightly; for when we bee contingencies arising of foreign war, or inter national humiliation, and a fatal financial crisis—the pro bable result of the former alternative...a crisis that will if not postponed, reverse the present position of individual property and rank in this country, we see quite enough to impress our minds with the vital importance of uniting all the energy and wisdom which the country can com mand, in its service. We know not whether any chance existed of Mr. Huskisson going into the Administration; or whether any chance exists of an accession of talent from the Whigs, or any other party; but this we know, that where there is talent and useful real patriotism existing, it would not, and should not, stand hesitating about minor ri valry, and huckster considerations ; but as the sailors say, lend a willing hand, till the storm be over. This is common sense, although, unfortunately, we know it is not the probable " working of the system." We know and foresee, interests will not assimilate—half of the public time will be dissipated in individual rivalry, and in artificial obstruction to necessary business ; and, although some good may be done, it will only be half of what might be done under other circumstances. Our course shall be, to support the executive. The head of our system—our KING —is, as much as personal con duct can do, assimilating the kingly character to the na tional feeling, and the sentiment of the age. His present Ministers have evinced a similar desire, and if they perse vere, that perseverance will give them strength ; and we feel confident, notwithstanding our forebodings, that all that is magnanimous and wise among the Whigs—and much of the magnanimity and wisdom of the country are to be found in that party—will not withdraw from Administration , that support which may be necessary to render it efficient. Hobart Town and Sydney Papers of the 18th April, are this day received at the North and South American Coffee- House. We find the Sydney papers almost entirely occu pied with trials for libel. Tho only article of interest is, that the Banks having refused to take rupees at more than ls. 9d. each, a stagnation in circulation of that coin had occurred. We have this morning accounts from Swan River, of con siderable interest. The population is said to be 2,000 per sons, andlthe property upon which land is claimed, imported into the colony, exceeds half a million specie, not included. The operations of commerce were carried on with great spirit for cash, and all the vessels that had come there had made good sales. Numerous largo sales by auction took place, and the merchants advanced money to Government when required. A bank was talked of. Ono newspaper had been established, a literary institution, one tolerable hotel, and many grog-houses. Magistrates and constables had been appointed ; but no civil law until the charter came out. cm, TWELVE O'CLOCZ.

A LITTLE CALCULATION.--OUT kingdom, says the Jour nal de Gasd, including its colonies, comprises 12,000,000 of inhabi tants. By the separation of Belgium and Holland our population would be reduced to 4,000,000. Our cotton manufactories supply at present $ population of 12,000,000, from which 8 , 000 , 000 would be cut of. It Is therefore evident that we should be, by two-thirds, the poorer. The exiled Royal family of France are represented as speaking very freely of their situation and of the circumstance which led to it; among other things they assert that even had the famous Or& minces not been issued, the flame which followed them was destined to burst forth in a very abort time.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. MADRID, OZPT. & The following important document has been obtained from the Cabinet of M. Calomarde, the minister of Grace and Justice . ' 6 Most Excellent Senor.—The French RevoluVhiolt disttrilsi the peace of Europe in 1 7 80 , has broken out § diet osateley with all its dreadful symptoms. The faction, goonreihing II is August Family, which rendered the kingdom of Fame astrff powerful, follow up the fruits of victory, and require of the Prod. stood Government the entire abolition of all hereditary rights; they demand that there shall be no privileged religion—that the Catholic worship, and the subsistence of its Ministers, shall cease to be at the charge of the State, and be abandoned to public charity—that the Municipal Authorities, and those who command the armed force, shill be elected by means purely deuiocratired—that some of the tionaries, who were distinguished by their loyalty to the King, or by their adhesion to the institutions of the country for the of legitimacy, some shall be outlawed (psiestos ftreri do. rz ) , atr others deprived of all political influence—and that the ma gistrates who administer justice in the Tribunals, shall be deprived of their offices—together with other measures, showing the p of a great nation worthy of a better fate; and at the same time what Spain Iwo to fear, owing to hervicinity, and the situation she has been left in by the late disturbances. Already do the incorrigible men who, in 1890, fled from punishment, to which their atrocious sentiments condemned their taking refuge in foreign countries, hover about our frontlas, though in small numbers, under the protection and countenance of the events in France, forging projects of revolution and desolation, forgetting that if th e two epochs, called constitutional, procured them many adherents, still the general great mass of the Spaniards, who preserve their religion, is moral, and love their King, an salutary monarchical institutions, with unparalleled affection, will present to them, with the assistance of their numerous Royalist militia, a pore and compact force which neither they nor their accomplices can subdue in any part of the kingdom whither their desperation may lead than, even though they should select , parts that are not garrisoned by the army. Nevertheless these enemies of our repose will, no doubt, endeavour to undermine a power which they cannot attack in front; and for this pur pose they will excite hatred, foment discoed, and inspi re suspicions and distrust against the authorities and their measures. For revolution dis guised in a thousand ways commonly avails Itself of pretexts very dis tant from its principal object to arrive at it : and it succeeds thus in disconcerting the elements which constitute the force of a Government without meeting with any but feeble opposition. It then dictates the law to the Sovereign ; it darts at and overturns the altars,sacriflces their Ministers,prosuates the ilierarchy,attacks the rights of the best acquired property,and inundates the country with blood and horrors, as happened in 1820 and 1823. at which period the principal authors of this scandal increased their fortunes*, entailed upon us the irreparable loss of our colonies, the ruin of our agriculture, commerce and indus try (there is no merchant, proprietor, labourer, or capitalist in Spain that is a liberal, nevertheless they have not opened their eyes to this Royal order), and the payment of immense sums. the discharge of which is required by justice and good faith, and to which those who contributed to our pacification ie entitled; and what is still more pain. ful, the red necessity of employing rigour for the restoration of peace and good order. 6 , This deplorable picture of our last discords being incessantly before the mind of our King our Lord, he endeavours to prevent the return of those unhappy times, and is persuaded that the best means of maintaining the immense majority of the nation in sound principles, whose moral condition is entirely opposed to that of France, he has already considered, and purposes to order various measures, to secure to us this inestimable advantage, and to repress and destroy in the bud every attempt against established order. At the same time, whilst the world awaits the issue of these mea sures, he has condescended to resolve that I should write to the Right Reverend the Archbishops, Bishops, Presidents of Chanceries, audiences, to inform them as 1 do, of the situation of our neighbours, and of the risk there is in the existence of such a nation, and to desire them in his Royal name to employ their authority and personal influence for the preservation of public tranquillity, and respect for the laws, that they may inspire their subordinates with confidence, by which means his Majesty's wisdom will avoid the contagion of the evils which take place before our eyes, and to expound to them the interest all classes have in co-operating in the fulfilment of his beneficent and august in tentions. This is the hope of the King our Lord—and executing his Sovereign orders, I state all this to you for your information, which is thus expressed by Royal order, and foe the alleged purposes. Goa preserve you, &c. St. udefonso, Aug. l ir. CALONAIDL" The Clergy of Navarre having offered, in the name of the province, to take up arms if his Majesty required it, the Mi nister of War has ordered two Deputies to come from each of the Basque provinces, to state what number of men and sup plies they could furnish in case of necessity. These Deputies are hourly expected here. Last night the first regiment of the Chasseurs of the Guard marched out for Saragossa. The regiment of Bourbon goes to-morrow to Santona. Yester day a courier, despatched by Ccunt °falls arrived with ac counts of the insurrection in the Netherlands. It is rumoured that the troops have vanquished the people, and that the latter have been reduced to obedience. There is also a report of Don Miguel having disappeared from Portugal. Vales Consolidated, 37 37i. • The Intendants Torros, Yandiola, O'Brien, and others, who ma naged the revenue, are now asking alms ; whilst Aguado, Burgos, Abo. dino, Vasconi, the Minister Ballosteros, and others, who have managed, and still manage, the revenue of Spain, from 1823 to 1838, have pur chased magnificent houses, estates, and other possessions, whilst they were poor beggars before, but ride now In their coaches. Much might be said on this subject. FRANCE. TER Pears Pam ranc--Sixteen pressmen and ap peared yesterday before the Tribunal of Correctkeal=an e charge of combining to prevent the continuance of week at the print ing offices where machinery is used. Among a number of witnesses examined was M. Duverger, sub-director at the Royal in= who stated that the mutiny of the workmen began that on the 3d inst. when the men employed at the presses left their work, be caws the mechanical presses were to be again employed ; and, on the same day, the compositors left their cases, and joined the printers at the Berrien du Maine. Other witnesses stated that the workmen declared they would not work where there were mechanical presses. M. Agier deposed that be had received seders from the General-in-Chief, nor the 2d inst. amid night, to march with one or two battalions to the Royal printing-office. He executed the order, and found the sub-director surrounded by the deputies of the journeymen printers. He then received orders to proceed to the Berrien du Maine, and to late part of the mops in the Place der Pantheon. DI. Agier, accompanied by the Lieutenant-Colonel, went to the barriers, to see what was going on there. They found a great number of men collected together ; and several came up and asked them whether they would join General Carbonnel, who was among them, as well as M. Fain and M. Baadouln, who were recommending cond. tzeTyeasures. The deputies of the workmen maintained that might be destroyed by Government if public utility re quired it; they also maintained that they had a rigbt to leave off work. M. Agier told them they were wrong. Some of them re plied that they were deputies there to prevent disorder and mischief. In the large room where the meeting was held, the greatest eider prevailed. The deputies drew up articles. IU. Agier heard them climes them. In his opinion, it was by no means their insenden to farm a combination. A promise was made that no malmsey should be used at the Royal Printing-office; but two days after, maw to promise, an ordinance appeared, prescribing the use of the mahanW MOMS. Several etherwitnesses were bard to the same effect, and the fact of a combination not Wag proved, the tri. banal acquitted the parties. The individuals armed upon the chap of having taken part in the late disturbances at Rosen, have been tried by the Tribunal of Correctional Police. Several were discharged, one was condemned to imprisonment for two years, one for one year, and one for one moth. THE DUKE DE BROGLIE'S SPEECH. (From the Courier Fretspie.)

SPIRIT OF THE JOURNALS. CnaoxicLz.—A gentleman of distinguished ability, who has been above a month in Paris, where be had EMI to the first characters in that mennpoUs, assures us that there is no party in France not attached to the King, in whom the greatest confidence is reposed. It is said in Paris, that the King is in advance of the Ministers, and the Ministers in advance of the Chambers. He assures us that there is no disposition in France towards a Republic, pprroopperaly so called. He believes that hereditary Peerage will be abolished; but one great reason for this is, that Peerage for life only would give greater strength to the Charter , than hereditary Peerage, in a country in whi eh' there are. no large estates, and no rotten boroughs to give political power to in. &Mush; and in which, consequently, personsl reputation and character are such important elements of authority. A Hereditary Peerage would throw-Into the House individuals without talents or elsa. reeler, and consequently lower the House in general estimation. In order, however, the Peers for life might not be mere creatures of the King, a qu alification was suggested of having previously served in certain distinguished situations, or been a certain number of years a Member of the Chamber of Deputies. Our informant says, the present Chamber of Deputies are naturally averse to the extension of the fran chise ; for they at present have the whole patronage of the departments, and be believes that the patronage is now employed in managing their constituents. Great hopes are, however, entertained that the Members about to be returned to fill the vasancies will give a more liberal corn. plexion to the Chamber. The slily fear:of our informant is, lest, if the people should be disappointed in this expectation, they should become impatient, and have recourse to violent messages. However, he has so much confidence in the good sense and honesty of the King, that he be lieves, long before matters could come to melt an extremity, be would dissolve the Chambers. It is a common saying among the people of Paris, that the King and M. Dupont de rEure are the only Liberals in the Government. if Franc* were even to be a Republic, he believes the King would be chosen President by acclamation, such is the attach. ment to him. Hmtaen.—There have been of late divers rumours in circulation with regard to a total or partial change in the Ministry. They have been of the most varied and opposite description ; and, improbable as many of them were, so little opinion have the public of the stability of the present administration, that they appeared to gain very general credit. There were many persons who were ready and, perhaps, anxious to believe that a coalition had really taken plate between the remnant of the old Tories and the Whig party, in order to effect the complete ousting of the Duke and the whole of his estaldiehwieni. While the most preys. lent report was that of the accession of the Canning or liberal party to that Administration, whose head, so short a time back, dbeed in so abrupt anti unceremonious a manner one of its leading Members. Which of these reports may be the most likely to be verified we will not pretend to say ; but we may observe that it L now very genteelly coned. ered as certain, by persons of nearly all parties, that, unless the Duke ire. mediately arengthen his tanks by consenting to act with more able and efficient officers than those whom he brought into the field during the last campaign, he will be unable to stand a month's campaign Wow the new Parliament. And this becomes by no means the less probable, when we consider that there is little chance of our again seeing the singular phenomenon, which so much astonished and perplexed the uninitiated at the commencement of the last sessions—via. that of a ministry being preserved from destruction through the con sideration, and, we may say, self.devotion, of their opponents. Foe our present most gracious Sovereign, having no personal hatreds or pri vate piques to gratify, is only anxious, it would seem, that the affairs of the State should be conducted on a liberal and enlightened policy, by men who really possess the confidence and support of the country ; and for the Duke to expect that he can in any way face Parliament with his present collagnes--particularly after having seen the result of the late elections—can be nothing else than the most perfect infatuation. Un der these circumstances, every one is asking what is likely to be done ? For our own part, we can only say that we feel confident that some change must and win tare place. Times such as the present, when so many difficult and intricate questions, both of civil and commercial policy, must be brought under discussion, call for a very different ekes of men to those who have endeavoured to work the vessel of the State during the last two years. The times call for men both more desirous and capable of acting, whose whole time will not be oc cupied in contriving how they may keep their places. The principles on which the present Ministry have acted we have been totally at a loss to discover. We have heard them called a Tory Administration acting on Whig principles. This, probably, may mean an Administration acting on no principlle at all. The only principle which has been ap. parent is that of self-preservation; for we shall find that nearly every measure which they have earried bas been either thrown out as " a sop to Caberus," or yielded to the threats of their opponents—or, as pa. laps, they would term it, to the force of circumstances. Trams..—The death of Mr. Haddam will be deeply felt throughout this country, as the loss of one who exercised, whether in office or in opposition, a powerful and protecting authority over one great branch of the national interests of Oust Britain.
