We have, however, a work under our eyes. published in 1820, which contains on this subject some correct remarks, as follows— " Nothing is more painful than a change of dynasty. Almost always it is accompanied by the horrors of civil war ; and if it be effected at firbt without resistance, it is infallibly followed by many years of agitation, by the discord of the citizens, by con spiracies, rebellious, the oppres.ion of the weak, the tyranny of the strong, and all those other things which it is the buainess of a Con,titutional order of things to put an end to. The Re volution of lona was effected without combat, but during sixty years it corrupted its author., and persecuted its opponent.. The annals of Britain at that period are lull of revolting injustice. aid deplorable misfortunes. The long Parliament, however, and Cromwell, had not bequeathed to Ragland factions similar to those which agitate us. The Independents did not resemble our Jacobins. Amongst them there was nothing like the reign of terror. Cromwell did not leave behind him a large party devoted to military regime and closely united. Cromwell's force, found a rallying point nowhere. A new shock, there fore, did not expose England to the perils which surround us. 'fbe old Parliament, firmly tooted in the country, was always there to put an en 4 to any uncertainty. We possess none of the guarantees then possessed by England. We should be a prey to obscure danger, while the most vigilant courage would fail to conquer. The danger would be great, and the means of defence weak. Perhaps to escape from social dissolution, the must intoler able of evils, we should probably finish the scene by having recourse to some despotism, full of shame for the present, and dooming all the future to sterility."

TO THE EDITORS OF TIIE GLOBE—PARIS PAPER. Lausanne, July 115. Gatmoteri—The credit which the Glebe enjoys is so justly merited, that it cannot be matter of indifference to see it express an opinion on facts which are not sufficiently authenticated. The 534 number of the 7th volume furnishes an instance of the negligence of which I complain, in the article headed " Holy Alli ance," the materials of which appear to have been exclusively drawn from a pamphlet of N. Empeta, an ecclesiastic of Geneva, formerly a disciple, or auxiliary, of Madame de Krudener, and who, about a dozen years after the period of the formation of the Holy Alliance, made all the haste he could to reveal to the public the secrets of hat epoch, and the hand which he had in that holy work by his prayers and his influence with Heaven. When this pamphlet' appeared in Switzerland, where people un derstand the boats paces of those men who feed themselves upon a manna a little more substantial than the manna of Heaven, the virtues of which, however, they extol to the faithful, it was rem'• timed as the trial of a new engine deolned to revive a zeal, which had much need of resu , citation, by the recital of great events per formed by Divine Grace, through their interposition. It was,be sides, observed that the assertions of the author of the pamphlet were not accompanied by any document calculated to confirm them ; and what ought to complete their discredit was, that the Pythoness, whose miraculous influence had been extolled by the author, had not found, on her return to St. Petersburg!), what she might have hoped from that influence had it been real and merited. Being considered with that calm impartiality which the Glebe professes, it does appear to me that the pamphlet of M. Em peta could not furnish it with sufficiently accurate data. Without at all prejudging the Holy Alliance, as it appeared to the civilized world in its results, still it may be acknowledged that its first conception did not merit the reproaches which were so liberally heaped upon it upon its subsequent developments. Though intrepid in the midst of dangers, Alexander I. bad a horror of war. Being thoroughly acquainted with the abuses which caused the discontent of nations, he hoped that during the con tinuance of a long peace, the want of which began generally to be felt, the European Governments, recognizing the necessity of un dertaking the refotms which the wants of the age called for, would seriously employ themselves in executing them. To accomplish this purpose, a profound tranquillity was Indis pensable; and as the disorders which had followed each other du ring nearly thirty years, appeared to have greatly weakened the old ideas of order and subordination, he thought that he could supply their influence by making a solemn appeal to religion. On the part of this monarch, at least, there can be no doubt bat that this appeal emanated from the pure impulse of his noble heart; and I shall shortly have occasion to state to you some facts in proof of his sincerity ; but the genius of evil quickly attacked these philanthropic conceptions, and turned them perversely against their benevolent author. The saemblage in the plain of Vertu* of a Russian army, amounting to 160,000 men, ready for service, had struck with stu por the diplomatists of Europe. who were present at the imposing spectacle ; but.this display of the military forces of a great empire caused much less terror than the invisible and moral power, which had created the magnanimity and the well-known principles of the monarch who commanded these troops. At this moment it was that from the north to the south, and from the west to the 'egoist, eyes of the oppressed were directed towards Alexander I. but from this moment is al-is to be dated the conspiracy which was concerted in secret to despoil him of that formidable moral power, which bad given to hint as auxiliaries, all the friends of knowledge and humanity, in a wor d all good men. Disposed from his innate moderation to congest to every thing which might inspire confidence ag drat his preponderating Influence, and willing at any price to dissipate the terrors which it was pm tended were experienced, he agreed to the tormation of an Areopsgean Court, where the simple plurality of suffrages should decide upon the measures to be taken in common for the mainte nance of the general tranquillity. The genius of evil quickly perceived what might be gained from this generous abnegation of a preponderating influence. To the odious direction which was given to the match of public affairs, is to be imputed the change which toms place in the confidence of nations, and the magnanimous Monarch who had so just a title to it saw it pass Sway Irons him, amidst the impious applause of the enemies of his glory, who dared to impute to his all-powerful will the most unpopular measures which they bad themselves dictated at their Areopagus. Europe knows now whom to blame for those deeds, and posterity, ever just, will mark with its ineffaceable seal the guilty. I have promised to relate facts which would prove that Alexan der I. availed himself of the peace created by the Holy Alliance, to apply himself to the reform of abuses. On the 16th Slay, 1816, the ukase was signed which enfran chised the serfs of Estimoia, as well as the organic law which Used their rights and duties—a difficult measure. which had been in preparation from the commencement of the reign of Alexander I. and prosecuted by him with indefatigable perseverance—a inn sure which demanded equal respect for the rights of all, on which account it was supported by the Nobles who had extolled his phi lanthropy. On the OM of August, 1817, a similar measure was adopted in favour of the serfs of Courland, and the Emperor, passing through klittau on the 30th of the same month, at the moment when the deputies of the serfs were assembled to hear their enfranchisement Proclaimed, with his accustomed kindness took the trouble to ex plain to them himself thereat nature of the ukase. January, 1819. he repealed the ancient laws which prohibited certain classes art his subjects front the exercise of trades and ma. isufactures. ' A decree of amnesty, published on the 14th of December. 1819, in favour of the Polish insurgents who had joined Napoleon, re ' pealed **sequestration of their property, commanded eternal for . gedubsess of the past, and prohibited for the future all inquiry as to that affair. The regeneration of Poland followed in 1818. On the 47th of March in the same year, on opening the Diet, Aleut'. der pronounced these memorable words :—••• The organization which was in action in your country has permitted the immediate establishment of that which I have given you, and the putting into practice of the principles of those liberal institutions which have constant* breathe object of my solicitude, and whose influence, I hope. with Goes assistance, to extend over all the countries wrds Penniman has confided to my care. You have thus afforded me the memo of showing my country what I have king since prepared for It, which it wiU Obtain when the elements of so important a work shall have obtained the necessary development." Tb. speech which he delivered on the 13th of June, in closing the Diet of 1945, is not less remarkable, and allows in what gene rous sense be peeviously contemplated the Holy Alliance. On the sth of March, 1819. the Deputies of the Province of Livonia presented to the Emperor the bases of the (*gadget* prepared for the epodsof the enfranchisement of the serfs of their province. The Mamma replied to them* these terms :—" I am very glad to see that the Nobility of Uvoala has fulfilled my ex pectations. You have afforded ao maple worthy of imitation; you have acted is the spirit et oar age, sod have telt that liberal principles alone can establish the happlaese of nations." Oa the 6th of January, 1820, the procianiatioo of enfranchisement was carried into effect in a solemn manner. These are words, gentle. men, which I trust will have sense weight with you. Doubtless the actions of public men, and especially throe of Princes, belong to history, which bas the right of deciding on them, without respect to penonst but can this judgment ex tend to the religious opinions of a Statesman, Sovereign. or other ;moon. when the individuals placed in dep endence on him could profess them in fun liberty. and whoa be imposed his on no one?

If Alexander I. entered Paris at the head of his army, it was because the Dictator of France had sought for bins in his own capital; but the French can never forget the magnanimity of his conduct. The individuals who bad the honour of approaching him at this period could satisfy themselves that it was the result, not of political calculation. but of the philanthropy which formed the basis of his character. Perfectly convinced that France could not be happy without ob taining the liberal institutions which she bad sought after since 1787, at the price of so many sacrifices, he was so much disturbed on learning the machinations carried on to dissuade Louis XVIII. from the concessions which were to precede his entry to Paris, that, forgetting the dangers which be might incur by sing the can tonments then occupied by the 4:i-demist Imperial Guard, he pro ceeded to Compiegne to make the King acquainted with the truth. The Proclamation of St. Ouen peeves that the Sovereigns came to an understanding. Goo forbid that I should doubt the influence which belongs to Poolrooms in the affairs of this world ; only it appears to me that one can often account for them without having occasion to explain them by the immediate intervention of that power. Having had the honour of being placed near Alexander I. from his seventh year. and having early observed the development of the rare qualities which subsequently distinguished themselves, his conduct as a public man has presented to my mind only the natural example of one of those great and noble characters who adhere firmly to the principles whose truth they have recognised.° The too short reign of this monarch, which was disturbed by so many important events, did not permit him to realise all the useful projects be contemplated for his empire. However, a great and salutary example was given ; it will not be lost. YOU will, Gentlemen. pardon these somewhat long explanations on the part of an old man, whose latter years have been grievously afflicted by the loss of him whom he bad so much reason to love, and it will not appear extraordinary to you that he collects his last energies to drive away the birds of night who still endeavour to soil the tomb of a citizen Monarch.

It will be seen by our Prwate Correspondence, that there is no room to doubt any longer concerning the fate of Constantinople. Its destiny ere this is sealed, and the Moslem power extinguished in Europe. What con sequences are likely to arise from this ominous and long-predicted consummation, is now a matter or deep— and almost breathless—interest ! Will the colossal victor be persuaded to relinquish the long-sighed for an nexation, and fall back within his anterior limits ? Never. How, then, will the geographical chart of Europe be reconstructed ? At least the Noble Duke and the Noble Earl have not been taken by surprise. It is reported that the Funds have risen five per cent. ! The Globe of yesterday, in a note appended to an ex tract which it makes from the Courrier Francais, vindi cates a great contemporary from the charge which has been brought against it by the French journalist : no less than that of being in the correspondence and the pay of POLIGNAC ! This, the Globe says, it is due to the Times to state, was contradicted immediately on the appearance of the article at Paris, by the friends of the new Minis ter : a very suspicious contradiction, we should argue, if it were a case within suspicion. But it is even more idle than malignant, to suppose the mighty journal so fallen, as to be accessible to douceurs from the Rue du Bac. We wish, nevertheless, that it were as free from contamination at home, as it is clear from Pa- risian gold. There cannot be a doubt that the tone of the Times, since these infamous Ministerial changes, has afforded a handle and a justification for much dishonesty to be imputed to it. Why has it forsaken the popular cause ? Why does it range itself under the banners of arbitrary power, false to its old principles and pleadings, and leave the war for freedom—in which it led the van—. to be conducted by so much obscurer, and less efficient champions ? Has he neglected to consider that if the cause of liberty prevails at last, under the disadvantage of his powerful advocacy withdrawn from it, the triumph of opinions in which he formerly gloried can but aggra vate his public shame ? Are his eyes shut to the difference of his own reception in liberal circles? Does he circulate in the club-houses and coffee-rooms, and not hear the note of condemnation echoed against him from mouth to mouth? We can hardly think it possible. What consideration, then, if it be NOT a bribe, can have occa sioned such a deplorable divergence from his pure career ? We know that he has too much prudence—and we are convinced, also, too much integrity—to apostatise for common lucre ; but this is the chain of argument that sug gests itself to vulgar reasoner' : and if they were reasoning on vulgar men, the concatenation would reach the truth. Perhaps, however, the Times will maintain that he has not apostatised, but that the Government which he is now upholding is itself converted to patriotic courses? Let him prove this, and he will find eager coadjutors in us : be knows of old how much we have admired his talent, and that it is only his want of principle with which we have ever quarrelled. And how proverbial — we cannot forbear to ask—must not that want of principle have become, before he could be taxed by foieigners with taking a foreign bribe ? We know that he never took it ; we know that he is incapable of taking it ; that he is too English for such extreme prostitution : but again we say, has he not laid himself open to the imputation ? Is he not the thick-and-thin defender of the Noble Duke, upon the most flimsy and insufficient pretences ? Does Lord ABERDEEN want a bolster for his double-dealing, and fail to find it in the Times? Has he not asked, with impatient petulance, how much longer this great country proposes to defer the recognition of Don MIGUEL ? These are substantiated apostacie', which it may suit our contemporary to blink : but there they are—regis tered in his own columns—so many damning testimonies of his desertion of the people. What can be his mo tives for it ? Where his reward ? As a Journalist, he was covered with glory while he adhered to the cause .of political improvement : nor did Europe present a nobler spectacle than the Times, awing back the invasions of unconstitutional power, and battling with the corruptions of the world. Hes ! Isis tam Wean poteit soplre draconem? Through the dark night of the CASTLEREAGH adminis tration, and up to the period of Mr. CANNING'S death at Chiswick, the Times was the consistent friend and ardent advocate of those principles, " for which He MP DEN bled in the field, and SIDNEY and RUSSELL on the scaffold." During the feeble throes of the Noble Viscount's Government, he began sensibly to alter ; and more than one straw was sent aloft from Printing-House square, to find out the direction of the wind. But when the Noble Duke was nominated, he cast aside the veil ; he fell down before the risen sun. In vain his letter box teemed nightly with expostulations and remon strances : some of them produced a momentary effect, and the lights of his dying patriotism gleamed desul torily athwart his columns—only to make their setting the more remarkable. We do not hesitate to say that, from that time forward, his career has been equivocal, immoral and impure : and we arraign him of political baseness—baseness of the deepest die— for compromising with the government of the noble Duke. The principle of that appointment in volved a flagrant and flagitious violence to the Constitu tion, and no considerations of expediency ought to have prevailed with the Times to relax in his protestations against it. He stood at that conjuncture unassailably high, and his moral elevation gave him a great power and advantage over the people. They looked up to him, they confided in him ; he was their bulwark against Ministerial encroachments—he had kept alive their spirit through years of trouble. This pre disposition on their part to be guided by him, augmented the facility—as it did also the crimi nality—of their betrayal. Trusting implicitly to their tried advocate and guardian, they received un examiningly many novel doctrines and opinions from his pen, at which they would have started had they made their approach from more questionable sources. In this manner, partly by the prescriptive influence which be had come to exercise, and partly by the subtlety with which he disguised his new inculcations, he wore away insensibly in the popular mind those outworks of public principle, which would have been impregnable to directer assault: and having achieved by circumvention that change in it which he could never have operated by open appliances, he now takes a more unequivocal attitude, and stands forth the avowed supporter of the men and principles that he formerly denounced. Hence the singular apathy with which the government of the Noble Duke has been hitherto apparently regarded : hence the toleration on trial—through false expectations predicated of them in the Times—of the Noble Earl, and five or six General Officers—and of a military, Tory Cabinet. But the prevalence of sounder opinions is undoing this work of our contemporary, and the betrayed country is waking to its real position. The Greeks are again plunged into misrule and misery. The news touching their state to-day is of the most distressing nature—it will be found in the following article from the Frankfort Papers. With respect to the Russian triumphs, we have only at present to state, that knowing the spot where the advanced guard was sta tioned on the 30th ult. it is likely we shall have to present an official account of the fall of Constantinople—if not to-day, in a very short time. In fact, there is no such Empire in existence at this moment, as the Turkish Empire : SYRA. Jinx 8. The evils which the friends of order and peace have feared, as the inevitable produce of the seed which the protocol-policy scat tered in Greece, begin now to manifest themselves. The violent passions which this policy has excited and cherished, that they might serve as means to forward the views of Rusk, are going to give the President more than be asked, and very deservedly en tangle him In all the embarrassments which be had so diligently contrived for others. Thus we have another instance that the di plomatic artifice, which no* teeg ability,--aud whisk egotists in deceiving all for the beside q:oise,—.fails of Its object lat gives new arms to the cause of probity and sincerity. Tice Clsiliarth Christi Palo Hadgi Pedro, whom the President bad pardoned for the excesses committed at Lepanto, and who, after a few days arrest, was seat back to command his battalion— the finest and most numerous in Western Greece—has again railed the standard of remit, in concert with the notorious Sumo, one of the authors of the troubles which in 1827 stained Nark di Re, mania with blood for several months together. He has starprieed the fort of Lepaito, expelled the garrison, consisting of 200 men (regu lar troops), under the command of Col. Pieta, and taken possession of it,—driving out all the Meets appointed by the President. Colonel Pieri received a wound in the head from a stone, and is believed to have died in consequence. According to a report which, however, is not yet cosirmed, one of the first secretaries of the Panhellenko, who was but lately placed at the bead of we of the departments of the administration,—.shod a share in this plot. This report has excited at Egins a sensation difficult to be described. Count Augustin Capo d'lstrias, who was on board the Hellas hive, wished to tsessbard the fort ; but those about hiss db. .suadod his. It is Mows that be has arrived at Napoli, to at. quiet the Preddent with what has happened.

It is even repotted that Count Augustin bawds to take holy orders, that be may in the sequel became Patriarch of Greece.--a report which does not ap pear to be wholly ustosnded. Ovule Rayko. Governor of Pert Palamidi, has been promoted to the risk of Lieutenant-Wesel, and the chief command of the fortresses of Moms and Passes.

The last news from the East strived at Munich. announce that -a great victory has been gained by the Russians, twenty leagues from Constantinople. The tint dispatches will bring details of important fact, and probably the news of a fact still mote impor tant, the occupation of Constantinople.—At this moment all is consummated.
