'HA, Brazillar, imperial United Mexican r*rn. 20 22i 73' say, thou of the centre, inclining towards the crone left; NW presence in the Council, therefore, will be muse of division, anp consequently a principle of weakt;eol'ritielifibugh he was wrong II accepting a place there, he has work for us, and he will create in the new Cabinet more thus one difficulty which it does not even foresee. His accession, on the contrary, in spite of his dissent upon some points, is looked upon for the moment by some of his colleagues as an important victory. In the first place, it will as touch weaken that violent portion of the Adminhtration, as NI. Polignac fears to em ploy it. Besides tido, it reckons upon M. Courvoisier to regain a part of the cent, e-ieft, u it does upon M. Cbabrel to captivate the centre-right, and upon M. de la Bourdonnaye to enchain the extreme right. Such is, in fact, the pretension of the principal Minister. He aspires to nothing less than to unite three great fourths of the Cham ber. And why should he not succeed ? Has he not for guarantee his own powerful talents and the calculation of M. Raves? It will be asked, how is it that the latter does not form a party of the Coun cil? This would, in fact, appear surprising, but nothing is more simple ; M. Raves is not a man of a serious turn of mind, and be likes neither business nor responsibility.' A great friend to profits without trouble—what be wants is a Government which pleases him, chooses him, and satisfies him, but not one which employs him; and this is why, it is said, that far from being ambitious to retain the stormy honours of the Presidency of the Chamber, he seems anxious for retirement by going to the Chamber of Peers. Such is the history which is given of the-formation of the Council. and it will be seen from it that its position le more violent than its intentions; and that with the exception of M. la Bordonnaye, per haps, noon has consentedto form a part of it with a view to violate the laws. Thus, when 'we feared irregular measures and state trials, it was because we foresaw them as probable, as the natural consequences of the radical incompatibility which exists between the ministry and the nation, We care little for Its declare tions of wisdom and its promises of moderation. If they were sincere, they would not be the less vain, for necessity is more powerful than human desires ; and * the public hatred does not soon succeed in delivering the throne from the advisers with which it is infested, ft will serve to make them tyrants. • Letters from Lisbon, of the 15th ultimo, received in Paris, state that the Spaniards were going to take possession—if they had not already done so—of the fortress of Almeida, and the district of Cimacoa ; the cession of which places—made by MIGUEL to FEE-. DINAND—is one of the conditions of the Secret Treaty of the Ist of July ! In another part of our Paper, will be found a letter addressed to the Editor of the Times by a Reader of that Journal, for which we bespeak the most attentive per:petal. It will be borne in mind what we remarked a few days ago, concerning the expostulatory communications, with which—just after the Duke of WELLINGTON joined the Ministry—the letter-box of that print was inundated. Nothing can demonstrate more forcibly than these ex probrations on the part of his correspondents, the inde fensible abandonment of his old popular attitude, with which we have felt it our duty to charge the Times. At the period to which we are now referring, the Times was no stranger to our own pen;and we could prove—if we thought it necessary to make the quotations—how much purer than his then swerving inclination sanctioned, we com pelled him for a space of about six weeks, ipso repug nante, to appear! But nature, with her recurrent pre dilections, was too strong, and came back in" spite of the pitch-fork." Does ho remember the letters of LAMBDA? If he does not, we can assure him that the public does. Once more, then, behold him upon his own defence be fore the people, and hear the argument of his vindica- tion. " A correspondent, signing himself " a Mutant or The Mies" has thought proper to arraign this journal for not being sufficiently in the front of the opposition to Ministers; and the instance by which the gentleman would illustrate his accusation of our support ing the views of the present (Bakiab) Government, is our alleged 4' attempt to uphold the appointment of the traitor Houma= to a high station in the French Ministry." Now, in the first place, we made no such attempt to " uphold" the traitor Boussconr. We remember having cailed him a man of ability—and se for a useful colleague to Prince Poilorac. But if it be meant that we had any wish upon the subject of BOURNONT, or of Prince Po. actiac himself, as to their accession to office, or their tenure of it; we cared one straw about the success of either of these forlign,politicians as Ministers further than might be connected with, the chance of their measures ot foreign , policy being favour. able to the peace of Forope, and to the duration of cordiality be tween their country and our own,—the civil person who insinuates his animadversions upon us, is very sadly mistaken." This is but a lame repulse of so heavy an imputation. The civil person is very sadly mistaken! But why does he not show where the mistake lies ? Why does he not refer hint fearlessly to the articles which he put forth • in such quick succession ittt the elevation of the Prince BE POLIO N AC to power ?•••••Why does he not quote from himself some burst of indignant patriotism, and cover his correspondent with confutation ? The fact is, that the articles which he wrote on the formation of the Po- LION AC Ministry, do not bear to be referred to at all; and that the language of indignant patriotism has long since been banished from his columns. He knows this, and, like a prudent General, abstains from an exposure a his own weakness. But it is in every body's recol lection, that if he did not launch into the direct eulogy of this very BOURMONT, there was a studied avoidance —in all that he wrote—of that condemnation with which a pure-spirited publicist would have fastened on such a profligate appointment: and in this forbearance to con demn he betrayed grossly his public duty. But when he asserts that he had no wish with regard to M• DE POLIO- N 4c himself, or his continuance in office, he flies in the face of his own elaborate and daily advocacies of that Minis ter, .t.no palpably to require contradiction : nor would it be worth while to argue with the Times about so despi -cable a set of itien as compose the new French Govern ment, if the spirit of their confederation—as detestable as it is to be dreaded—had not its connecting links iu this country... But the Times knows, even better than we do, what ramifications of dark and villainous diplomacy are at work in Europe to keep down the fermentation of intelli gence, and re-animate expiring feodalities. The Portu guese marriage, at which we hinted yesterday—and which the Noble Earl has so much at heart— was a conception for the furtherance of this system : and the nomination of M. DE POLIO NAC, and his band of Ultras, was to have heralded in mea sures and recognitions, which the storm of popular disap probation has alone retarded hitherto, and will either avert —or not—as Polignacism, or happier principles prevail. But the Times feels himself arraigned—and very natu rally—for not being sufficiently in the front of the opposition to Ministers ; and he endeavours to justify this relaxation from his purer attitude, by pleading the Noble Duke's claim to popular support, because of the single measure of Emancipation. But it is a plea that is worn out: it served a long while, but it is gone by. We, also, bore with the Noble Premier— and even with. Mr. PseL—because of the removal of those disabilitiss.• It was a grand measure, and we meted out to those who carried it no sparing praise; but we were not to bear with them for ever. While we could, we suspended—in gratitude for that measure—our active opposition to the principle of the Noble Duke'a eleva tion ; we intermitted our—till then incessant—protesta tions, against the unconstitutional union of the civil and military power of the kingdom in one person : we made a truce with him, even against our consciences. Est nso. dus in rebus. After giving him and his colleague the most patient teal that we could,we were obliged to fall back upon those unerring principles on which alone the public press is justified in supporting the public ministry. The Times ought to have done so too. When he saw that the Noble Duke and the Noble Earl treated Portugal with dupli city, and abandoned Grege to decimation; that the voice orMETT tax icu was influential in the council chamber of England, and that the intrigues of the miserable despot FERDINAND were suffered to triumph over a more righteous policy—he should have turned round, and denounced them to the people. It is a miserable shuffle to say that he bears with an incapable and a bad Minister, because a more efficient one cannot be found. The truth is, that the Times is cor rupt himself; and he will stand or fall with the corrup tions which by his advocacy he has made his own. From his Head-quarters at Aidos, General DIESITSCH issued the followlng Proclamation on the 31st of-July : PROCLAMATION. The Commander-in-Chief of the Russian army, which victory has brought into the plains of Rumelia, cannot but regret drat the Ottoman Government rejects whit blind obstinacy the proposals made to it in the name of his Majesty the Emperor of ail the'Rus• slam, the acceptance of which would put an end to the evils of war, and restore repose and tranquillity to the peaceable inhabitants of these countries : he Is thus placed under the absolute necessity of following up his victories, occupying the country, and advanciig as far as raoviozoca shall please, in order by this means to compel the Sultan to listen to the voice of reason and humanity. In fulfilling tide painful duty. the Commander-in-Chief feels the most ardent dope to spare the peaceable inhabitants, filabsuneuns as well as Christians, the burdens of a military occupation, lir order to prevent their ruin, which would be inevitable, if terrified by the approach of the army. they should take the unhappy re solution to abandon their dwellings, their villages, and their towns. The Commander-is-Chief has therefore thought fit to issue the following Dodo : _ _ 1. AU Musatimen, inhabitants of the towns and villages, are called upon to remain quietly wit► their wives and children fa their habitations and possessions, and not to fear being molested by any person whatever. They are only bound to give up all their arms, which will be preserved in a safe place. An accurate list of them will be kept, and they will be punctually restored after the conclusion of peace. std. The inhabitants shall enjoy entire liberty In the exercise of the Mabornetan religion; they shall retain their Mosques and their Imans, perform the five prayers at the appointed hours. and conti nue to say as usual the Friday's prayer, the Ilubbk in the name of the Sultan Mahmoud, then Sovereign and Caliph ; for it is a mat ter of course, that the Mabometan inhabitants, who do not abandon the districts recopied by the Russian troops, are not obliged to become in consequence Russian subjects, but remain, as before, subjects of the Sultan. Sd. All the local authorities of cities, such as Adrian ople and others, the Ayans, Cadis, Notables, &c. were also called upon not to leave their abodes, but to continue to direct the Administration, that the peace and pros. perity of the Mussulmen inhabitants may be protected and main tained. No Russian authority will interfere in the concerns of the Mussulmen with each other, which will be examined and regulated by the competent Mossultnen Authorities of the place. " 4. The Inhabitants win get in their harvest, and put the corn into the barns for their own use, the overplus net roe quired by the :foe their own use may be sold by them to the Russian army, wilds will pay for every thing according 16 the real value of it. ' S. In all the coshes, the Musselmen authorities will give up to the Russian army 'ail articles belonging to the Turkish Govern. ment, such as cannon, arms, ammunition, and provisions. When once this is done, no person whatever will be permitted to meddle with private property, and every inhabitant shall keep and dispose of, at his pleasure, all that be possesses. 6. In the cities, towns, and villages, the soldiers will not occupy any ot the houses inhabited by the Muuelmen, and the strictest measures will be taken that the Itlnuelmen inhabitants, their wives and children, may not be exposed to any insult or oppres sion from the troops. _ _ All the points herein specibed shall be particularly observed, and the '3lusselown authorities will take care that the Commander-in. Chief shall be informed of every thing relative to the strict ob servatsce of them. An Extraordinary Supplement to the Journal de St. Petersburg 4 of the 18th August, contains various details of the proceedings of different detachments of the Rus sian army,•extracted from the journals of the operations from the 25th July to the sth August. Although most d i these details relate to facts already known, yet they are highly interesting and important, and to the follow ing effect : Lieut.-General Krassowsky, who on the 26tb had set out with bla camp to Sunda to reconnoitre, met, en the 27th, two of the detachments of the enemy, who bad left the fortress with 10,000 men, and taken a position oa the right bank of the Straschl. The attack made by these detachments on our flank was repulsed, and as the enemy made no further attempt, Gen. Zrassowshy's troops returned to Joui Bazar the same day. Ave. S.—Major-General Scherematier, who left Kamobat the 30th with the od brigade of the 4th division of Halms, tour cannon, and a company of Cossacks, to make a reconsoissaoce to wards Jambol, encountered on the 30th, under the walls of that place. 15,000 of the enemy's cavalry and infantry. The impe tuous attacks of the cavalry commanded by Halil Pasha, were constantly repulsed with great loss to the enemy. Two squadrons of the Regiment of Courland, which had found their way into the town, burnt the camp. On the Ist of August, Major-General Seherematieff returned to Karnabat. having left too Cossacks to observe the enemy and the town of Jambol. After these decisive actions with Major-General Scherematiers division, which the enemy probably took for the van of the main army, the Turks hastily retreated, in the night of the Slat July, towards Adriano ple and Saki Suer ; and the Cossacks left to observe Jambol, after• wards took possession of. General Roth's corps was encamped before Aldo, General Rudiger's in Karnabat, and General Count Pahien's in Karabamar. Head-quarters still at Aida. '• August 4, Lieutenant-General Rudiger reports, that up to the 34 there had been found at Jambol, after the retreat of the enemy, 350,000 cartridges, a million and a half pounds of gun powder; biscuits, a great gustier of wheat, flour, and cattle. General Rugowsky, with the third brigade of the 19th dhisioa 'of infantry and a company of artillery, arrived on the sth at Rat nabat, and left it the Drat day. On the Id he entered the village of Dobrol, which the armed Turks who wen in it abandoned on the appearance of our troops. The battalion went to the village of Abrader, live waste from Dobrol, in pursuit of the enemy, over took and dispersed them. abd released the Bulgarian Inhabitants, who returned to their. habitations, soliciting the protection of the Rusilans." WARSAW, Ava. 40. According to accounts from the main army of 6th Anpst, the head-quarters were still at Aldo* on that day. One corps was at Karnabat, another at Karaberna. They were on the point of going forwards. • . The news from Buenos Ayres received this day is of a pacific character. Here we have a proclamation of I.et VALLE, stating that the civil war had terminated,—he swears to forget the past,—harmony has been established, —and no one must dare to interrupt it. On the subject of this affair, the following letter has been this day re ceived at the North and South American Coffee House : " The civil war, which has desolated the country for these last seven months, is, I trust, concluded ; and peace between the contending parties was formally signed and sealed on the 4th June—the Monteneros having h arrassed the city night and day, and cut off its sup - plies, and in a manner besieged it, fighting almost in the streets with LAVALIA'S regular troops, whose horses were reduced to the last extremity for want of provender, and dared not venture out of the town; and men were killed and wounded every day. Exchange on England 101 per Dollar ; all business has been suspended in the shipping line. Some of them have been lying here for eight months." _ BUENOS AIRES, Jon W. The following has been published :-. 7 _ " Banos Area, Jars 10. " When by the glorious revolution of the 115th of May, ism, these provinces separated themselves from the mother country, Spain held the important possession of the Islands of the Mal. vines (Falkland Islands), and of the others which approximate to Cape Horn, including that known under the denomination of Tierra del Fuego. This possession was justified by the right of being the first occupant, by the consent of the principal Maritime Powers of Europe, and by the proximity of these Islands to the continent which formed the Vice-Royalty of Buenos Ayres, unto which government it depended. " For this reason the Government of the Republic. representing every right which the umber country previously exercised over these provinces, and which its Viceroys possessed. it has continued to exercise acts of dominion in the said Islands, its ports, and coasts, notwithstanding circumstances have hitherto prevented this Republic from paying the attention to that part of the territory which, from its importance, it demands. Nevertheless, the neces sity of no longer delaying suck precautionary measures as shall be neeessait to secure the rights of the Republic, and at the same time to possess the advantages which the productions of the said Islands may yield, and granting to the inhabitants that protection of which they stand in need, and to which they are en titled, the Government has ordered and decreed : Art. 1. The islands of the Malvinas and those adjacent to Cape Horn, in the Atlantis Ocean, shall be under the command of a political and military Governor, to be named immediately by the Government of the Repoblic. 2. The political and military Governor shall reside in the island of de la Solidad, on which a battery shall be erected, under the flag of the Republic. 3. The political and military Governor shall cause the laws of the Republic to be observed by the inhabitants of the said islands, sod provide for the due performance of the regulations respecting Seal Fishery on the coasts. 4. Let this be made public. (Signed) RODRIGUEZ Salvador Maria del Card]. BUENOS AYRES, Ism 27.

Ctossmis—The civil war which afflicted us has terminated by a peace, which satisfies she reasonable pretensions *, the contending parties, and which is about to re-establish the authority of our institutions, and the enjoyment of unalterable tranquillity. Th e party which would obstinately endeavour to complete its triumph, would have consummated the ruin of the country. I have dis dained a victory which would have cost so dear. I have resolved to coosent to every thing which was asked of me, when it was not too far removed from the object for which I contended, my only wish being to secure to my country its dignity. Cidzens—To obtain this object. Hive departed from the ex onerated pretensions of all parties. I have sworn to forget the past. because in those who were opposed to me I have found only Portents,. disposed to consecrate co the hooter of their country those arms which were raised against their brothers. atizens—Harmony has been established; let no one attempt to interrupt it. Woe to him who dares insult the territory of our country. JUAN LAVALLE. Buenos Ayres, June 25, 1829. —Buenos Ayres rapers So Asses SW Although we have ever deprecated the highly improper practice of anticipating judgments in cases under con sideration of competent tribunals, speculating on the merits and. demerits of parties undergoing trial, merely to satisfy the gossip appetite of a curious public, yet the letter signed H. in this sheet, comes from SO respectable ii quartet, that we cannot permit ourselves to decline its insertion. The hesitating—we may say equivocating— character of the evidence of Sir EDWARD CODRING TON has, we must confess, created a most unfavourable impression to the prejudice of that distinguished Officer, in the minds of the candid. But let it be remembered that the hero of that brilliant action—styled by the Turks in office, "an untoward afair"—is also the friend of an exalted personage, whose liberal sentiments are viewed with jealous apprehension by our present temporary Ministry and its authorities; — that the laurels he wears are as deadly night-shade in the eyes of a party who rejected the fair opportunity gained with them of erecting the Greek power on a firm basis—of compelling Turkey to the necessity of professing a more rational policy,—and of Check ing the Russian invader while on the banks of the Pruth. The frequent allusions which are made by Sir EDWARD CODRINOTON to certain papers connected with Mr. ChoKER, or the Admiralty, involving some mystery which cannot, it seems, be yet prudently revealed, may account in a great measure for that indecision so apparent in his testimony. Yet how these can relate to Captain DICKENSON in any way, we are fairly at a loss to conceive.—We must now only wait the issue of the trial to form just opinions,— sincerely hoping, in the meantime, that they may end to the honour of all the parties implicated.

Accounts from Odessa state, that General WITT, who commands the Russian reserve of 80 , 000 men, has ar rived in the above town, where he has established his head-quarters. From St. Petersburgh, of 19th August, we learn that on the 17th their Majesties left Peterhof, for their pa lace in the island of Yelaguine. From Brussels, on the 30th August, we learn that two Russian Cabinet Messengers passed the previous evening through that city, both from St. Petersburgh, with dis patches for London A Cabinet Messenger passed through Brussels on the 30th nit. on his way from London to St. Petersburgh, a ith dispatches. A Russian Cabinet messenger arrived at Brussels on the 31st ult. from London, with dispatches for St. Petersburgh. Front Bucharest, of 7th August, it is stated : "We learn from the army that the Grand Vizier was preparing to, quit the camp at Shumla, to harrass the army of General Diebitsch, but that he had renounced his plan on hearing of the occupation of Karnabat by the Russians on the 27th July. This place seems to have been occu pied by General Kraseowsky to keep open the communi cations with the army beyond the Balkan." Prince Chosrew Mirza arrived on the 13th at Zarsko jiselo from Peterhof, and on the 16th, in the afternoon, made his entry with much pomp into the capital. The following is an extract of a letter received by a resident in this city (Hereford) from a gentleman of Gloucester, who ha% lately visited Oporto, and who hu manelysaved the life of a respectable merchant of that devoted town :—" You have probably heard that while Ave lay at Oporto, my vessel afforded shelter to an unfor tunate gentleman, who had nearly fallen in the power of the agents of that blood-hound Miguel. For three days I concealed the fugitive between two pipes of wine in the hold ; in this situation we were unable to convey any food to him, and were obliged to watch for the moment in which we could safely give him a little wine, by pla cing the spout of a tea-pot in the aperture of the boards. You may imagine our anxiety for our prisoner, especially while the police were visiting us ; they searched the cabin and every other part of the vessel, except the right one., and thank God we effected our escape. During our stay at Oporto there were ten most respectable men decapi tated, because they were suspected. The manner in which they were executed exhibits a picture of refined barbarity. They were dragged together to the place of execution, where they suffered consecutively ; thus forced to witness the savage exultation which would again be exercised when they should be immolated by the officers of justice to this modern Nero. Among the ten who were beheaded were the partner and book-keeper of the friend whom I saved ; judge then of his chance of escape, bad not my vessel presented to him the means of concealment. —Hereford Journal. bk 4 ~f ..:.,( .' , N * ,f , „ ...ez-.4, i , ) , eRk-pu Iti, .
