THE LONDON PRESS. T ervier of the Lonny Puss—the dirsits of the Loom Vases—the superiority of the Lonny Pans, are words in current circulation with numbers who pick up, and bandy them about, without attaching to them any distinct idea. These backnied ex pressions are particularly common with the LOMDOII Pans itself, front which they are borrowed by the vulgar, with many otbrr things that but little improve their language, understanding, prin ciples and manners. In a multitude of public prints of all colours, shapes, parties, divisions, and subdivision of parties, showering like rain upon our devoted capital, we hourly read of the Lorton Pans being the flambeau of society, the bulwark of liberty, the cham pion of virtue. and scourge of oboe ; in fine, the greatest benefit an Englishman inherits. Though dithering in conception, and contradictory in sentiment, we are told its influence on the mass is so salutary, that any increase of improvement is exclusively owing to its precepts and example ; indeed, so clamorously !otitis insisted upon, that it becomes a duty with the public to inquire into the truth, and ascertain precisely : how far we are, or are not, indebted to its agency. First,—knowledge, judgment, versatility, decorum, good taste, polite forms, and, above .U, honesty, should be the attributes of those who truly profess to instruct and lead the public mind.— Now, are the persons conducting the almost innumerable News papers in this Metropolis possessed of such qualities? Are they at least, what is no prodigy in these times, scholar, and gentlemen? Would not the public feel somewhat surprised, were it to learn that, with few exceptions, they are persons of the most ordinary capacity, moving the great part in obscurity, and are to general as ill bred as in private life they are little respected. Numbers of them, with scarcely more than the acquirements of a common education, untravelled abroad, and ahut out from high experience at home, after having skirmished ingloriously- without a name la the outskirts and ditches of literature, have at last been fain to dabble in the public prints, and play the Mister Roma upon spe culaUon—less anxious for character than for broad. The vanities, presumptions, tricks, and subterfuge of this fraternity, termed by Voltaire in his times the "filiwaslaires," would, if fully divulteds provoke the strongest ridicule and compassion. Armed with a political jargon, gleaned from the rubbish of RIDGWAY, the two volumes of JUNIUS, and a style in which words of pretension are geometrically arranged to astound under the dictatorial Ws;—minutely master of that narrow knowledge called " stem qf parties"—oarnely, the senatorial slang and futile distinctions of my Grandmother's question, Whig and Tory,—tho Candidate for Editorial honour confidently takes the field, am- Woos immediately to become the dime Dostai of MUM patty. at whose feet he crawls to offer up his conscience and his inkhorn, as •if it were an honour to be a dirty mouthpiece. A servile advocate of every opinion of his patron—even when promoting tyranny and bloodshed—he defends without examination u with- out scruple, and calls it consistency and public duty. Invete rate animosity and BiMngspte, felt and showered down on all opponents, be styles seal and energy in the cause. Should be be a liberal, be cautiously watches the public ; and, having felt its pulse to ascertain its bias, be treats the multitude to their own opinions, and calls it leading the people.—Confined by a narrow mind and plodding ►abitudes to the squabble of local interests, he distils mannered twaddle upon domestic questions ; and leaves the great pose of foreign policy at the discretion of whatever Minis ter may govern. With these he sides or differs on this grand sub ject with a carelessness or levity demonstrative either of guilty complaisance, ignorance, or indifference. Should he, however, touch upon the matter in woos, be, free from all embarrassment, at once borrows his information and opinion from some foreign Journalist. Tenacious only of his part In the " osic-woc"of Catholic emancipation, free trade, game laws, and select vestries, Greece or Portugal may be rescued or exterminated—Rusda or Turkey aided or opposed—France molested—America invaded—and Aus tria obeyed to England's infamy ; and, with scarce an effort to re- enonstrate, be will suffer ►imtdf to be bullied into silence. In re venge, however, be is careful to satisfy all the idle curiosity of the 'gossipping frivolous. Here the hnpertinent detail of a sprained auk or a broken pane appears, where we look for news of an pirea. There, some vagabond pins his dirty penny by detailing the disgusting ribaldry of St. Giles's In the slang or thieves—by insulting Magistrates—and betraying the names, addresses, and private affairs of persons whom accident or some venial slip has made amenable to a Court of Justice. until the tenadous of cha racter prefer to suffer every offence rather than seek a redress which subjects them to the degradation of a malicious exposure, An " en dit" in another place blasts female benoor, or stamps sin picioa co persons in trust. There, again, he panders to the filthy imagination of the obscene, and liquorishly dwelt on the minutest circumstances of an adultery, a rape, or nameless crime. Mae- where he gives honourable renown to the Blackleg, and trumpets his gambling transactions on the turf. Then we Snd the dinner speeches hiccupped out by some drunken Alderman, vulgar radi cal, or bruin Squire, lowing maudlin down the page ; or lo the revolting language of rulßan blackguardism, be triumphantly nar rates the brutal combat of self-devoted wretches, degrading hu man nature by surpassing the ferocity of wild beasts. All this he calls useful intelligence, and it is with this be boasts of polishing and instructing society. Amidst this impurity, the daily excrement of his own brain, costive from hard use, in empty magnitude, parades in leaded and double-leaded long primer, which, in sounding poverty, contradicts himself one day to explain away his errors on another. His own sordid profit, and not the pro- mulgatlon of his caudentions sentiment, being hie object, be is candid with no contemporary, even when professing similar opt- Woos—for every contemporary Is an enemy, whose success be • curses, and whose fall fills biro with joy. He measures the im portance of himself and rivals, not by the force of genius and purity of principle, but by the extent of circulation. If In this be is cir cumscribed, he fawns, barks, or bites ; but should he luckily vend his ware, be is supercilious and Bruhn. Forced to acknowledge the prosperous, be reeks himself in revenge on his contemporary is decay; while, against any rising Journal, be leagues In a trick of trade never to mention its name or acknowledge its articles.— Should you direct an argument at him, he takes It up according to your influence with the public—dare you to thrash and sift his rhetoric, and detect by force of reason the penury of thought or the utilized or corrupt principle, be at a bound deserts the mild forms of manly discussion to defile you widt;torrents of personal abuse—lying from the subject at issue, be attaeks one's red nose— blind eye—palsied limb—or be insinuates against your wile, sister, daughter or friend. Should you resent as becomes a gentleman, he is seised with a sudden respect for the laws; and prates of the de- coney incumbent on the literary character, and the expedirney of discussing with the pen, and not with the sword.

There never have been so few parties at the Royal Cottage as during the present season. With the excep tion of Lord and Lady Svit.tvits v ex, Lord and Lady MOUNT CII A RLES, and Lord and Lady MA KY notion° H, there has been scarcely a visitor beyond the usual and unvarying cortege of the Court. Even the Duke of CIIA RTRES'S visit occasioned few additional invitations. The life the high attendants upon MAJ EST Y lead here is sadly dull and monotonous ; they all reside at Cumber land Lodge (except Lord and Lady STRATII A EN, and the Marquis and Marchioness of CON YNG II AM, who have apartments in the Royal Cottage), where they re main upon the qui-vire until two o'clock in the day, waiting for orders; by which time, if the Royal Com mand is not issued for all hands to muster, and either to enter the open carriages and phaetons to join the pro cession, either in a lengthy ride, or to enjoy an aquatic excursion, each man is master of his time" until the hour of dinner, when, as a matter of course, he is ex pected at the Cottage. During dinner, which does not, as in the olden time, continue long, the Royal Host is exceedingly entertain= ing. He quits the table soon after the Ladies, and the guests follow shortly. Coffee is then served, and sub sequently the company seat themselves before a regular tea equipage ; a little music from the private band, and the fine flow of eloquent conversation and anecdote from the supreme head, generally terminate the pleasures of the evening. The party separates early, and thus each day's pastime terminates. His MAJESTY had for a length of time determined to lay the first stone of the monument to the memory of his venerable Father, on the summit of the hill in the Great Park, on the 12th August; but it was intimated from authority that the circumstance should not be published generally till afterwards, to prevent a crowd— consequently the company present was not numerous. The dinner given that day at the Cottage was merely to the members of the Royal Family, the King's Ministers, the usual appendages to the ("court, and a select few, including the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, who, for several years, has been honoured with an invitation on his MAJESTY'S Birthday. Such of the company as were not accommodated with apartments at Cumberland Lodge returned to town early, and the KING him self, according to the usual system, retired before twelve. The Cottage, the Castle, Belvidere, the Chinese Temple on the margin of Virginia Lake, and the delights of ang ling, wholly occupy those hours of Royalty not dedicated to the business of the State. Until within a few days the Duke of WELLINGTON had not seen his MAJESTY for nearly a month; but when they met there was the usual kind and cordial greeting and familiarity by which their inter views have been previously distinguished. Although it seems to be the wish of a certain party to weaken the in fluence of another Minister with his MAJESTY, we are confident the attempt is ineffectual, forthe attention of the KING on his natal day to that particular party was pecu liarly marked and condescending—so much for rumour. WINDSOR, Aug. 16. Yesterday his MAJ EST Y'S visitors, with the exception of the Doke of DORSI? and General Sir H TAYLOR, took leave of his Majesty, and departed from the Royal Lodge for their respective residences. The weather being unfavourable, his MAMMY was prevented taking his usual drive and visit to Vir ginia Water in tie afternoon.

The cry of injustice setup the Turk against Russia, and which Is so well echoed by his Holy Allies, resembles the dying bowl of a hyena under the paws of a lion Where or when has our bloody friend the Ottoman ever shrunk from iniquitous t ooss i oo , bloodshed, and spoliation from a principle of justice?

Dues he not sit in Europe like a robber in the midst of spoil and desolation, made with his own hand, during the days when youthful vigour seconded au dacity? bat now that age and decrepitude has weakened him, be clings to his booty with desperate anguish, and calls the invader of his guilty hoard a spoliator and oppressor. In the plenitude of splendour and power, the sentiments of the Ottoman were as follows, pronounced by the awful mouth of the redoubtable So. limas 11. to the Grand Master of Malta, after be had signed and sworn to observe the capitulation : " Although I might justly and worthily infringe the Articles I have prescribed with such an enemy (that Is a Christian), tVoni whose deserved punishment iseitkeefailk nor oath ought tit . stiy a most just conqueror, yet I have determined to be generous and li beral to thee if thou wilt by well doings amend thy life:* &e. On the Grand Master's departure for Rhodes, Soliman told him:— " What I have done unto thee was not for hatted, but desire of sovereignty."—" I ored not war fur riches, hilt for honour, fame, and immortality, and the extension of my empire ; for it is the pro perty of a Sovereign, royally descended, by the strong hand to take from others, and to invade others. not f a coeetou. mind, but from the honourable desire of rule and sovereignty ; for while my neighbour atandeth, I count it just by force of arms to remove him."

The speculations of the Morning Papers on the motives and in tentions of the French Crown in its new change of Ministry are extremely amusing; and, with fear exceptions, betray complete ignorance with regard to France, and her present political affairs.

From what wonderful source of ihfortnation bas our contemporary picked up this? Doubtless from some Cake weouch. of the Marais.
