Mr. Hass°les Letter is an Advertisement, and shall appear ► on being paid for as such. A Cabinet Council, which was numerously attended, assembled this afternoon at the Foreign Office, in Down ing -street, and continued in deliberation for a consider able period. The Private Correspondent of the Times, whose at tack on the friends of freedom in France called forth our remarks yesterday, hinted pretty plainly at the project of M. DE POLIO x Ac to dissolve the Chamber of Deputies. An article in the Gazette de France of Tuesday labours hard to prove the necessity of this measure, which it prin cipally justifies, on the plea that, " a large body of well intended persons were seduced into the ranks of the revolutionary faction, and a Chamber formed hich was not calculated to express the feelings, or to provide for the wants of the country. This Chamber, the offspring of violent antipathies against the VILELLE Administration—was always ready to oppose and calum- niata the authorities of the State, and presented a ma- jority on all occasions, to answer hostilo passions." Tliere can be no stronger proof of the difficul ties which beset the new Administration than their wish to try the effect of a new election. A more desperate alternative could not possibly be embraced—and certainly none, the issue of which can be so little questioned. With the result of the last elections before them, the in- tuition ascribed to the Ministers appears toms inconceiva- bly wild : so much so, indeed, that we can hardly per suade ourselves of its being other than a manceuvre got up to intimidate those moderately liberal deputies, who might be apprehensive—in such an event—of being supplanted by still more ardent friends of constitutional freedom. For it is well-known, that during the memorable elec tions of 1827, as many as three—and even four — liberal candidates were frequently put in nomination for the same city or department, to the entire exclusion of the ultra-royalist party. With such a fact, so recent in its occurrence coupled with the rapidly increasing distrust of the whole French people in the reigning family it would be an act of insanity on the part of M. DE Po- LIGNAC and his friends, to subject the irritated feelings of the electors to such a test. We therefore regard the article in the Gazette as a mere ruse to entrap the unwary, and gain over a few wavering members of the left side. But whether this be a correct view, or not, it is our firm conviction— should the experiment be hazarded—that it would conduce to events of the highest importance. Those who rea son on the general state of France, and the progress of public principle there, are but too apt to lose sight of many causes connected with the distribution of property, the increased dissemination of knowledge, and inveterate predilections of the Coy nT,which render it utterly impos sible to govern that country on the principles so conti nually reverted to since the Restoration : a for tiori, to govern it with a set of men notoriously opposed to freedom even in its most limited accepta tion. Nothing, in fact, but a cruel fatality, as well as a total misconception of the real:interests of his fa mily and crown, could have prevailed with CHARLES X. to select the present men. Even the late Ministry, by far the least arbitrary which has been chosen since 1815, was by no means popular or approved of by the ma jority of the nation : but to have selected for their succes sors, names among the most odious in all France, was an act for which it is impossible to account by any process of ordinary reasoning. To judge of the tenden cies of these men, it is only necessary to explain that they have selected the Gazette de France—a Paper established by, and devoted to the Jesuits, and most furious of the Ultra royalists—as the organ of their political opinions and projects. Surely, a more barefaced outrage on the pa tience and good sense of a nation was never witnessed! Here we: come to a most important question. Is it true that the Noble Duke and his colleagues have had any influence in the formation of the PoLiosAc Adminis tration ? and if so, what effect is such an interference in the internal concerns of France likely to produce —both as• regards ourselves, and as regards the French? These are questions entitled to the pave canonic of those public men, who are—we trust—soon destined to form a Government more in unison with the interests, feelings, and wishes of England. Our own opinions are made up on the subject. We shall content ourselves, therefore, with one simple interrogatory. If it be the interest of this country that tranquillity ' should prevail among our neighbours—and there are few who will deny this—can any policy be more absurd or insane, than that which would encourage and support, by a system of despicable intrigue, the nomination of ministers, whose marked unpopularity, and odious con duct, not only justify a spirit of resistance among the people, but stimulate both countries to a reciprocal dis trust and animosity ? - We have Pet era burgh Journals this day to the 28th of last month, with news from the Russian Army now occupying the Turkish Empire. The contents of these papers are very important, inasmuch as they prove how entire and undivided is the sway of the Northern Power in the principalities. " Our troops continue"—says the Russian—" to enjoy the most perfect tranquillity in the same position in Rumelia ;" and the Pacha of ScuTam, and others, having attempted to approach the lines which the Russians had chalked out for them selves, they were ordered to desist : " all the move ments of the Turkish troops must be immediately sus pended, otherwise he—the Commander-in-Chief — would be obliged to take measures to oppose them." Where upon the poor Pacha of Scutari and the rest of them stopped—according to DIEBITSCH'S desire—pleading as an excuse for their stirring, the difficulties of procuring provisions, when they remained for a long time at the same spot. Thus, while DIEBITSCH and his troops are rioting on the wealth of the Principalities, the legitimate owners of the country may starve. The subjoined are our official accounts : _ _ _ ST. PETERSBURGH, Ocr. 26. Ntirli MOM Tin AMT. The latest accounts from the army of operation, dated 24th Sept. (6th Oct.) are to the following effect : " Our troops continue to enjoy the most perfect tranquillity, in the same positions in Rumelia, with the exception of some changes of little importance,which have appeared necessary to be better able to observe the Albanian troops ; which, before the coaclosioa oldie peace. had advanced from Widdin to Sophia. Their commander, Mustapha Pacha, of Scutari, who during the whole war had not taken the smallest part in the hostilities against us, and who after his arrival at Sophia had not made the slightest movement since the month of August, thought proper, about the middle of Sep tember, to bring his troops nearer to the points occupied by us, in order to have greater facilities for their subsistence ; and in consequence he caused his vanguard, under the command of Emir Pacba, to march to Philippopoll ; while Ketrue Mehemet Pacha, who was encamped at Huskiol, between Philippopoli and Adrianople, seamed disposed to pass through the town of Demo tic°, occupied by our troops, in order to proceed to the village of °usual Kupri, which had been assigned him for his winter quu ters, but which was within our line (riven). Perceiving by these movements that the Turkish Commanders were ignorant of their obligations to our troops, since the conclusion of the peace ; and desir ing to prevent any misunderstanding which might interrupt the har mony that prevailed between us, the General in Chief acquainted the Pacha of Scutari, as well as the other Pachas, that not only they could not penetrate with their troops into the circle of our posi tions; but that, by the treaty, they were bound to remain in those which they occupied, on the receipt of the news of the conclusion of peace : consequently, that all the movements of the Turkish troops must be immediately suspended, otherwise he—the cam pander-in-chief—would be obliged to take measures to oppose it, As an additional precaution, Lieut.-General Rudiger advanced, at the same time, with his corps from Adrianople to the village of blustapba Pacba (Djesalr) and occupied the right bank of the Maritza : while the brigade of }ILIUM, under the command of Major-General Scheremetjeff, was seat from Irepolis to Demotic°. On the 26th of September, the Com mander-in-Chief sent to the Turkish Generals a summons to sus pend all their movements ; and on the 28th he received an answer stating, that according to his desire, the Pacha of Scutari has stopped the march of his troops—alleging as an excuse the dim. culty of procuring provisions, where they remained for a long time at the same spot. The next day, the 29th, the Turkish Plenipo tentiaries announced that they had received from Constantinople the ratification of the peace. On the Ist Oet. General Rudiger. with his corps, returned to Adrianople; and on the 2d a great part of the troops that had been sent to Demodco also returned—leaving only a small garrison in that place. " As soon as information was received of the movements of the Pacha, orders were sent at the beginning of August to Gen.Klueleff, to leave the number of troops indispensable for the defence of Wal lachia, and the fortress of Sillier's ; to pass the Danube with the remainder of his corps ; to advance against blustaphaPacha, to dis perse his forces, and hinder them undertaking anything. Being informed of the march of the Albanians from Widdin to Sophia, Gen. Kisseleff raised his van-guard of four battalions of infantry, eight squadrons of cavalry, 500 Cossacks, and 30 pieces of cannon, under General Geismar, to proceed from Rachova to Vratza. On the 14th September, the van-guard occupied Vratsa ; and the other troops, appointed by Gen. Kisseleff to act on the right bank of the Danube, passed that river on the 16th ; and on the 19th left itschova to march to Vratsa. Having performed this march with great rapidity, Gen. Kissekff 's corps advanced beyond the last. named town; and had already reached the foot of the Balkan, and had occupied the defiles near the village of Novosteil, where they received, in that position, the news of the conclusion of peace.— The main body then returned to Vratsa—leaving the vanguard near the village of Reberkowa, and its advanced posts near No vestal." In the hurry of other matters, we omitted to notice, at the time of its appearance, a no velty in the Court Circular : we mean, the inter view of the " Baron d'Assica, AGENT FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF DON MIGUEL with the SECRE TARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS." Of course, the person, to whom we have so frequently alluded as the Visconde D'ASSECA, must be the man meant: but for what reason his name is thus distorted, we are at a loss to conjecture, unless—indeed—there be a desire to smuggle him into the Foreign Office. Prepared as we are for every degradation, we shall not be at all surprised if the next Gazette should announce that " His EXCELLENCY" the Viscount D'AISECA pro ceeded to Windsor, and being introduced with all the usual formalities, presented his credentials as Ambassador from his Majesty Don MIGUEL I. Yet —no ! we cannot ,a moment persuade ourselves that, after the reception given by our gracious Sovereign to the legitimate Queen Donna MARIA, he could ever be induced to recognise the Usurper of her throne—even if the latter could be purged from the long catalogue of crimes which stand against him, and cry out for condign retribution. We have more than once had occasion to notice the personal attention of the KING towards the interesting young stranger, and now recur to it with pleasure, since nothing could so well illustrate the natural goodness of heart, and generous sympathies of his MAJESTY. We really and conscientiously believe that the recognition of Don MIGUEL by a KING of ENG LAND, would be one of the most ruinous and fatal incidents which could befal the civilized world. Such a step is alone wanting, to throw down all the barriers which have hitherto pre served thrones, and consecrated the great principles of legitimacy. Surely there are friends and councillors about the person of the King, to point out the various instances in which no sacrifice of blood or treasure has been thought too great by this country, for the assertion and maintenance of that sacred principle ? We know what Europe would say if such a calamity were to befal us—but, notwithstanding present appearances, we deem the thing impossible ! Although we anticipated more decisive accounts by the Mexican Packet, still there is nothing to be either sur prised or alarmed at in the news from Tampico. It is true, the Spanish armament could not have chosen a better moment, so far as regards the finances of the re public, or the dissentions which prevailed among a few of the political leaders. But, as we have already stated, these obstacles to a prompt and vigorous defence could hardly fail to disappear, when sufficient time had been afforded for the friends of their country to rally, and organize a proper force. If there has been some delay in collecting troops at the point of attack, it should be recollected that Tampico is several hundred miles from the capital, and that the communi cations are extremely mountainous and difficult. On the other hand, it is evident, even from the contradictory accounts we have received, that BARRADAS has not advanced a mile beyond the position he first took up. This inactivity is not less calculated to dispirit his own troops, than to inspire confidence among the Mexicans. With respect to a second enemy with which the Spaniards have to contend—we mean the climate—it is truly formidable, more especially at Tampico. When the Mexican residents in London heard where the landing had been effected, they were unanimous in de claring, that so far as the climate was concerned, the Spanish General could not have selected a more insalu brious or pestilent spot. Nor would the rainy season and hurricane months be likely to improve it. We shall wait with confidence for the result. In the mean time, it may be as well again to remind Ministers of what we said some days ago, relative to the policy which had allowed Spain to pursue her projects against the South American States ; but more especially against Mexico. We then said that this State is a natural ally of England, and that our apathy would probably force the Mexicans to solicit the aid of the United States. We have now but little doubt that what we then put forth as a conjecture, has actually taken place. Two frigates have proceeded to Vera Cruz, where some other American ships of war had been al ready collected. At a moment when it is so • self evidently the interest of this country to counteract the designs of Spain,both as they regard Mexico and Portugal, it is lamentable to reflect that so much indifference should prevail on the subject. It is when such high interests are at stake, that M. ZEA BERMUDEZ is going about telling his friends that the relations of Spain with England were never upon so cordial and amicable a footing as at the present moment ! We noticed a letter in the Morning Chronicle of yes terday—signed CIIARLES PEARSON—on the sale of City Law Appointments. It would seem, from the statement of Mr. PEARSON, that on the elevation of Mr. BOLLAND to an Exchequer Barony, one of the offices of Common Pleader—which had been long held by the new Judge—has been transferred by him, for money, "to a young man just called to the Bar." We believe the name of this young Gentleman is GURNEY, and that he is a son of Mr. GURNEY, the eminent King's Counsel: whoever he is, his youth and inexperience disqualify him for all efficacious purposes, and it is bad taste in Mr. BOLLAND—even admitting that he have the right—to thrust forward an incompetent successor. If we infer correctly from the representations of Mr. PEARSON, the facts of the case appear to be as follow: That the Court of Aldermen, in whom originally vested the patronage of these appointments—influenced either by extreme folly, or corrupt considerations—sold to Mr. BOLLAND not only the situation itself of Common Pleader, but even the right of presenting to it in per petuity, whenever he might find it advantageous, or in dispensable for him to retire. Now this is a profligacy on the part of the Corporation, which we cannot find terms adequately to characterise. Mr. CHARLES PEAR SON'S exertions in the recent affair of the City Secondary —another office connected with municipal jurisprudence, the nomination to which was also scandalously bartered —must be fresh in the recollections of our readers : and he appeals on the present occasion to the public spirit of the Common Council, to put a stop to such disgraceful traffic. We fear, nevertheless, that the Augean Stable of the Corporation will not readily be. purged of its cor ruptions : and in truth, while it can justify the practice of place-selling by the example of so much more exalted an Assembly, we think it unreasonable to expect that purity will commence with Aldermen. The following has been received at the North and South American Coffee-house :—Liverpool, 11th Novem ber—Our Cotton Market this week has been very ani mated ; the sales of Monday were 6,000 bales ; yester day, (always a dull day) 3,500 bales ; and to-day, 4,000 bales—making a total of 13,500 bales. An advance of ith on the lower description of American cotton has taken place. Accounts from Madrid, of the 29th Oct. state that the King and the Infantes were still at the Escurial, enjoy ing good health, anxiously waiting the arrival of the Princess of Naples, and it is certain that a general armistice will be proclaimed on her marriage.

Let us banish for ever from our memory all that has passed ; and henceforward let us be united with the most fervent de sires to secure the happiness of our country. Veteran Soldiers, covered with laurels, ought to be the support of order, and the model of discipline. If your duty has led you to combat, it now calls you to defend the Laws. Spare me the pains of punishing a single valiant Soldier, and the wishes of your General and friends will be satisfied. JOSE VIAMENT. The Hamburgh steamer still remains due ; but the ar rival of the Dutch steamer has anticipated the information by the above steamer. We have received a file of Buenos Ayres of the 12th Sept. but they are not of a later date than those received yesterday. On the departure of the Russian fleet from the Darda nelles, the Russian Admiral hoisted his flag ; on each was that of the French and English fleets, firing twenty-one guns ; the English and French fleets followed with the same compliment. There still remains in the Darda nelles, six English ships of war. Accounts from Lisbon, via France, state, that the two sisters of Don Miguel are dangerously ill, and Dina Isa belle Marie has been attacked by a paralytic stroke on one of her sides. TURKEY.—By no means the least important of the changes which the humiliation and conquest of Turkey is likely to produce, is the probable secession from its authority of some of her vassal principalities, foremost in which ranks the Pachalic of Egypt. The germs of independence which have been care fully cultivated by the acute and subtle mind, which has directed the government of these vast districts for some time past, appears to be breaking out in all their vigour at the moment most favourable for their growth and prosperity. The subjugation of Tur key has annihilated the authority of Mahmoud ; it has rendered powerless the mighty spell which bound his vassals to acknowledge his sovereignty.-it has removed the obscurity which gave to Turkey a weight and im portance even in the eyes of Europe, to which recent events have proved it in reality possessed no claim, and afforded to those under her sway an opportunity of dis enthralling themselves from a yoke which it is now per ceptible to all she has not the means of maintaining. With Greece wrested from her—with the immediate prospect of an independent throne being established at Cairo.—the Treaty of Adrianople, is spirit, though . not in letter, ceding the provinces of Wallachia and Mol davia, and the free passage of the Dardanelles giving the key to the Capital, the political power of Turkey is extinct. The influence of such an event upon the future policy of the great European Courts remains to be proved, but it must be seen and acted upon at no distant day. Russia has advanced too far to retro grade, and Great Britain, notwithstanding the Chris tian forbearance which seems recently to have exer- • cised so extraordinary a sway over her councils, must he prepared to assert, or to resign, the high station she has long so proudly occupied in the scale of nations. We fear we shall too frequently have occasion to revert to this subject ; for as yet, we are in the first scene of the drum which the hostile passage of the Bal kan bß ussia has brought before us.- Cheltenham Journal.
