Some changes have taken place in the management of this Paper, which, it is confidently hoped, will secure the public approbation. In announcing these, the PROPRIETORS do not feel it at all necessary to make any declaration of principles, in the strict sense of the term: nevertheless, they think this a proper opportunity to state, that they come for ward in a pure and liberal spirit, fettered by no party, though certainly favouring the remains of one, which it was once equally popular and patriotic to uphold. Concerning this Party they have elsewhere given their opinion at greater length—and perhaps with keener animadversion—than comports with the equanimity of these explanations. But they are not bound, nor do they belong, to any set of men whatever; and it is only in consideration that the body alluded to yet contains within its pale some shining and uncorrupt individuals —a nucleus of redeeming purity—that they permit themselves to mention it for a moment. Higher— incalculably higher—is the errand on which they start; yet if, in the discharge of their great advocacies, they find themselves side by side with men whom the people have ceased to count upon as their natural auxiliaries, their satisfaction will be proportionate to the surprise. From their youth upwards, the writers of this an nouncement have always attached themselves to that scheme of Government which has seemed to them to unite the greatest administrative purity with the sound. est views of practical improvement. During the last twelve years they have lent to such principles of policy no feeble advocacy through the press. To the Lim- POOL Administration—of whichLordCarrnzazaGH was the master-spring and informing spirit—they were con scientiously and consistently opposed : but when, at tl-e death of this public scourge, Mr. CANNING suc ceeded in the Foreign Department, they felt that the dissolution of an arbitrary system was ensured —h would be superfluous, after this avowal, to dwell on the animation and cordiality with which they hailed at a later epoch the accession of that great man to the helm, and the anticipations which they formed for the country. They were blighted in their very formation by his death in the midst of his in valuable plans—but the conviction that his enlightened views will yet be realized, is strengthening more and more. The impulse which has been communicated to the popular mind must force it onward—the embank. ments of prejudice are thrown down. The writers of this article have not been inattentive spectators of the secessions which have lately taken place. Among these, the separation of Lord BLANDIORD from the high Tory league has afforded infinite satis faction. It would be presumptuous in them to conjec ture even, how far—in their general views--they will be likely to coincide with the Noble Marquis in his new character: but their impression is, that they may travel far together. It is true, the unconditional adoption of Roman Catholics into the Legislature of this Protestant empire, appears to have alarmed him into some original reflection of his own, and aroused in him a deep anxiety, lest it may be turned to the detriment of the State. But the law is passed, the innovation is introduced: the business is to guard, now, the Constitution—such as it remains. It is true, also, that the abolitions which the Noble Marquis advocates, might still encounter—as they hitherto did—his hereditary hostility, and that his friendliness to ameliorations has been contingent upon his terror at one liberal measure. But he has stretched forth his hand to the Reformers; the writers of this note are of that class—and they take it, though many have rejected it. It is no time now to coquet with true men, and examine too curiously if they exhibit the criteria of party. The views which the PROPRIETORS entertain of domestic government, are liberal : they will never sup port measures which tend to abrogate the freedom of the subject. In like manner, their opinions on foreign policy will be bottomed on the soundest principles of liberality; encouraging free t,ade, and all those inter national reciprocities which foster amity, and diminifh the chances of collision. With regard to the mechanical appearance of the Paper, arrangements are in progress, which the Pao- IMIZTORS hope will reader it worthy of public favour: ,and until, the completion of these, they look for the public indulgence.

We have received an important Letter frum Lord &Amman, in reply to some constructions which had been put by us on the Parliamentary principles and opinions of the Noble Marquis. It shall appear tomorrow. MilCaTell is only delayed from the press of imperious matter. The state of Ireland is certainly feverish, and there is a great tendency to further excitement ; but we ascribe much of its present irritation to the injudicious exclusion of the Member for Clare from Parliament, by the operation of one of the clauses of the Relief Bill, and to the continued machinations of a vindictive faction, who, moaning over its for ever lost monopoly, like dogs in the manger, will not allow national repose to be enjoyed. We know attempts are also making in this country to kindle feuds of religious denomination, though in fact of anti-religious character, but the good sense and hourly advancing intelligence of the people at large will render such mischievous designs abortive. The nation will not divide itself into sects for personal ob jects, but constitute a whole, animated by one feeling —the common good—administered under " the Con stitution—nothing more—nothing less." The Duke of WELLINGTON and Mr. PEEL, under the sanction of the KIN% and by the approbation of Par liament, have passed a great measure of justice. We expect they will not allow the beneficial effects to be circumvented in Ireland. Let the Government take some means to declare that it will not in any way interfere with the election in Clare; and let it show. by its acts, that it will not permit with impunity any encroachment on the laws, which henceforth can have no partial ope ration without an abdication of the duties of Govern ment. Ministers need neither fear any Court nor party in trigues—they will have, they may rely on it, supporters enough to uphold them in a righteous course. We congratulate the French Government and nation on the timely arrival of the courier at Naples, sent to prevent the execution of M. GALLOTTI, who had been delivered up by the Prefect of Corsica, under an order from Paris. It would have been a grievous reproach to France, if the victim of a most atrocious perfidy had been immolated. The Neapolitan Government, how ever, owes a signal reparation for this insult to French honour; and we trust the next advice, from Naples will announce the restoration of the prisoner to the French authorities. Let us hope good may come out of evil, and that this flagrant abuse of good faith may make all civilised Governments more scrupulous before they violate the asylum of misfortune, and deliver up a fu gitive under mere ministerial statements of an anti social criminality, not entitling him to a sanctuary. We this day insert the first Letter of a short series, intended to appear in the STAR, on Portuguese affairs. In taking up this subject, as we shall—and making it a prominent feature of our early labours—we are ac tuated by no captious nor vindictive feeling towards Government. Our only object is to clear the character of our aspersed country, not less at home than in the eyes of the whole civilised world; and to vindicate— at least for the people of England, if we cannot do so for its Ministry—some credit for a love of justice, and the common feelings of humanity. It has been asserted, and this in highly respectable quarters, that our Cabinet —and more especially the Foreign Secretary—have been all along acting on a conviction that they were con sulting the best interests of the country, in their conduct towards the Portuguese: and that they do not conceive themselves to have departed, in any degree, from the strictest rules of equity. Difficult as this supposition is, we should be truly rejoiced if we could persuade our selves of its accuracy : there would then be some hope for the friends of freedom, that the Ministry might revise its measures. We desire only to see the question treated on the broad basis of justice and public principle; and we wait with painful anxiety the moment, when maturer deliberation may induce the Government to retrace its steps. In the meantime, we shall proceed to develop that system of wrongs, which— in our opinion —a policy far from neutral on the part of this country, has infbcted upon suffering Portugal. And if we can prove that the throne of that kingdom has been usurped under the eyes of a British army, and in open violation of a solemn treaty, guaranteeing legi• timate succession in the House of BRAGANZA: that from the moment of his usurpation, up to the present hour, the career of the tyrant has been marked by the most 'evoking crimes: that, not content with wholesale murder and proscription among his Nsion's subjects, he has persecuted with equal vengeance and audacity the subjects of Great Britain residing in his usurped dominions—exercising, even upon them, confiscation, torture, imprisonment : that our flag has been in sulted, and our ships plundered—while our commerce has suffered incalculable detriment, from the in security and terror which he inspired: if we can prove that the toleration of such a monster is dangerous to those understood doctrines by which all the other Princes of Europe are antlered to retain their thrones : above all, if we can prove that his longer sufferance where he is, is quite incompatible with the repose and harmony of Europe—we trust that Ministers will hasten to change their policy. But whatever course they may adopt, let them rest assured that the people of this country are nct so fallen and degraded, that they can ever be reconciled to an act which has already roused the indignation of Europe, and—if persevered in—will fix an indelible blot upon the scutcheon of English honour. It is understoo3-4nd is said to have been proved by figures—that the Duke of WELLINoTora is in the receipt of L 56,000 a-year personally, either by grants of Par liament, or through the favour of the Crown; and that his Grace's four brothers enjoy among themselves £34,000 a-year more: thus making a total of £90,000 a-year—public money—among the five WELLESLEY' alone. The assertion, however, is not altogether correct. The incomes which are incidental to the Duke's brothers, ought not in fairness to be charged as aggra vations against his own quite sufficiently indefensible rapacity: and besides, they do not receive all this from the public purse. Lord MARYBOROUOII discharges functions pear his MAJESTY'S person, of which the Ktzto is the indisputable nominating and presenting patron; and the revenues of Doctor WELLESLEY arise from ecclesiastical preferment. But in the instance of Lord WELLESLEY, it is a pension for past services, to which he is well entitled as a retired Minister, and there ought to be no grumbling about it : and the £14,000 a-year received by Lard COWLEY at Vienna, is national salary for national representation. There is no crime in Lord COWLEY'S receiving that, which must have been paid to some one else, if not to his Lordship, for specified service in a high public department. If Lord CowLaY is inefficient in his great office, the corruption is in his appcintment to it, infinitely more than any crime in his receipt of salary. The case is far otherwise with the Noble Premier, who holds more paid places by virtue of Eoo papaws Tou.o, than all his military desert—if it were ten times greater—could justify. High honours— high emoluments—high place—are undoubtedly doe to the conqueror of Waterloo : (there is no question here, how much he was favoured by chances) ; but in a crisis like this, of threatened financial extremity and great ge neral privation, that laurel ought not to be the leviathan that swallows all. It is true, there is no late to make the Noble Duke disgorge; but therefore his delicacy ought to be the more susceptible. If we were desirous to draw invidious contrasts, we should say, behold what he did in the field—and what he has done in the Cabinet ; look on this picture—and on this ! No, no. Fifty xis thou sand a-year out of the public purse—and received by a man who affects economy and retrenchment to such a degree, that he stops an estra ten pound note from the wages of a treasury menial—;s, as Lord LIVERPOOL memorably remarked, something " too bad." Retrench ment, like charity, in the case of a public functionary, ought to begin at horse. German papers to the 30th ultimo are received this morning. They are perfectly silent on the present movements cf the Turkish and Russian troops. The following are extracts— FRONTIERS OF RUSSIA, 3999 19. In the course of the summer three ships of the line, of from 110 I to 100 guns, besides a great number of smaller men of war, are to be launched at Cronstadt. A large pojion of the pecuniary in demnity which Persia has paid for the expenses of the war is said to have been allotted to the naval department, for the purpose of increasing the Imperial fleet. According to private letters from St. Petersburgh, the presents. don of peace with Persia is considered as very problematical.—.. Russia indeed has not, at this moment, any interest in provoking a war with that Power; but on the other band, it has no reason to fear it, as ha troops assembled in those countries are fully sufficient to oppose both the Turks and the Persians. FRANKFORT, Jima 29.

Consols have remained during the morning at 88a I for the Account, and 88i i f a Money. In the Foreign Market tbere is little doing, except in Br az i l Stock, 5,000 of which has been purchased at 57. The other Foreign Securities remain firm, owing to higher prie rs of Foreign Stocks coming from Holland. Exchequer Bills continue at the same price as yesterday, 69 70 The Dutch steamer, which ought to have arrived yesterday, has come this morning, but the information she brings has not as yet transpired. The private letters from Amsterdam bring the new Russian Loan at §to j premium. All the furrier, Funds in the above capital have improved. The Preach Papers received this morning state, that four frigates are to be dismantled at Toulon, and it is reported that several ships are to experience the same at Brest. From the North and South American Coffee-house we have the following copy of a letter, dated Omoa, 4th May "My correspondent in the city of Guatamala informs me, that that place has surrendered to the forces of San Salvador, and that dis. patches from the Government have been received to consider thus fortress under the coatroul of the State of San Salvador." Extract of a letter at the North and South American Coffee House, dated St. John's, 12th May: " The last packet brought us important information respecting our trade. It is the intention of our Ministry to take off the tonnage duty upon American vessels, and permit them to bring coastwise to the free ports in this quarter all such productions, fret from duty, as are now brought down the river St. Lawrence, or other rivers, by what is called inland navigation; and such articles are to be neutralised and exported in our ships upon the same con ditions and privileges as colonial productions. This will materially, if not entirely, alter the American trade; and exports to Neutral Islands, for the supply of the British islands in the West Indies, and British ships, will call here on their way to the West Indies, and take in a general cargo—thus throwing the long voyage into British bottoms. This news comes from our Province Agent in London, and I have no doubt of its correctness." Down till two o'clock this day, there bad been no emote of the arrival of the Ilambro' steamer; and the City , oliticians are in hourly and anxious expectation to have further aformation from the East of Europe. We have received Barbadoes and Trinidad Papers. They contain no political intelligence worth repotting. Lieutenant General Sir James Lyon, the Governor of Barbados., had arrived at Trinidad in the armed brig Duke of York, on a tour of loopec. tion of the West India troops. QUARTER'S REVENUE. The Times of this morning exhibits an article, nearly a column long, "On the Revenue," and signed " Hermes." It would be an imposition on the patience and common sense of our Readers to expose the fallacy of all the various points set forth in the snick in question; one or two shall suffice. Hermes makes out a statement, by which it would appear that the total decrease of Revenue on the Quarter just ended, as com pared with the corresponding Quarter of last year, is £879,693, stead of 43 , 13,693 as shown in our Paper of yesterday; but how does he make this difference ? He says that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in his speech on the sth May last, stated that by a transfer of the Duties on Tea shipped to Ireland from the Irish Customs to the English Excise, there was now an annual gain by the latter at the expense of the former of £800,000; " but here," says Hermes, " I think the Chancellor is mistaken, and I doubt much whether the Irish Tea Duties ever produced more than £BOO,OOO per annum, or £150,000 quarterly; and it is at this sum I shall set them down." New, in the year 1828, the gross receipt of Duty on Tea con sumed in Ireland, instead of even £600,000, was only £442,4e4 ; and in 1827, £446,142 placed to account of the Customs in Ire land ; and in 1828, there is .E 241,634 14s. 9d. placed to account of the Excise in Ireland, and not in Ragland, for Duty on Tea. The whole of the 1i50,000, which Hermes sets down in such an off hand manner is, therefore, an unwarranted assumption. It would be a wase of time to pursue the eaposure: let it suffice, that the entire article is equally unworthy. Yet such is the matter which this great Newspaper has made its men, by giving insertion— let us hope hurriedly and without inspection, to the communication of its Correspondent. CHURCH PLURALITIES. The case of the Rev. Mr. Wray. and the new Editor of the Clerical Guide, are supplying daily diversion for the Editor of the Morning Chronicle; and in his Paper of Monday last, the Lux moons and the Majendies were held up as the most voracious of Clerical cormorants Turning to Majendies, in the alphabetical list of the Incumbents, there appears " Majendie, Henry Wm. DD. Bishop of Bangor—Archdeacon of Anglesey and Bangor—Llanr harader, R—Llanynys, R—C aer hy n , V. annexed to the See.....Am twch, R—Langrastirhn, R. and C. as Archdeacon of Anglesey— Llandegar, R—Llannor and Deala R. as Archdeacon of Bangor -ILlandyfran, R. and C—Llandyrnog, R. in commendam." Now all this certainly looks very formidable ; but examine it fairly, and what does it amount to? Why, neither more nor less, than that Dr. Majendie is simply Bishop of Bangor, and his own Arch deacon, which by the tenure of the See he has a just right to be. AU the above recited Rectories, Vicarages, and Curacies being an nexed to the See and Archdeaeonries, and held in commendass and as such, Dr. MAJENDDI is not a pluralist in the sense in which the talented Editor of the Morning Chronicle rather insidiously re presents him to be; and collectively, with the Archdeacoories and Bishopric included, in point of emolument, they are not equal to any one of twenty parochial incumbrancles in the North of England which might be named. We are no apolo• gists for our Ecclesiastical system ; on the contrary, we think it re quires revision, being incompatible with the spirit and intelligence of the age : but there is a disingenuousness in the Editor of the Chronicle, when treating oo this subject, unworthy of his intellec tual attainments and the influeLtial position in which he is placed, which we hope this notification may, in some slight degree at least, he the means of correcting. The Bishop of &. Amen, is the Right Reverend Jong Lam ming; D.D. and a similar elucidation to the above might be given respecting the Luminous, which seem so strongly to have excited the Learned Editor's ire.
