BRITISH AND FOREIGN SHARES, TWO O'CLOCK. su•ss. 13razilim , Imperial United 'lezlean PA In. . _ 35 20 72 711 40 ;95 13 A Courier arrived at Dover yesterday morning - from Calais, in his Majesty's Post-office packet, bringing the unexpected intelligence that our fleet had made itself master of the Dardanelles, in consequence, it was sup posed, of some misunderstanding between the Allied Powers. The Courier proceeded immediately to town. If this be true, it helps nothing the cause of the fallen St:LT A N : it only proves that we are endeavouring to be in, at the spoliation which is already begun. About twelve o'clock la; night, M. CONTIXI, the lonian messenger, arrived at the Colonial Office, in Downing-street, with dispatches in seven days from Sir FREDERICK ADAM, at Corfu ; the Honourable ROBERT Gottnoll, at Constantinople, and Sir PuL TI:NEY MALCOLM, in the Mediterranean. M. CON riN I left Corfu on the evening of the 6th instant, and, important intelligence having arrived there, soon after his departure, another Messenger, of the name of A RCH I BOGG I,was sent off next morning, but did not over take CosTl xi till he arrived in Calais, when both Mes sengers embarked in the Post Office packet, and reached Dover yesterday morning, and Downing-street in the evening, with separate dispatches for the Admiralty, the Foreign, and the Colonial Offices.—The dispatches from Constantinople are dated the 20th August. We have perused with great attention the prosecuted paragraphs of the Morning Journal, and we must say that we rise from the perusal as much astonished at the weakness of the noble and gallant Premier, as we do jealous of the spirit which that weakness betrays. It is, nevertheless, exactly such conduct as we had a right to anticipate from the noble Duke, whose arbitrary efforts in 1819 against County Meetings afforded a more than sufficient datum from which to deduce the value at which he estimated the liberties of the subject. Political ex cess belongs, indeed, essentially to political weakness ; and an imbecile Minister never yet failed to make up for his want of moral power, by the large abuse of confided authority. But we ourselves can readily trace these vituperative effusions of our contemporary to their real origin, and even undertake to prove that—though rhap sodical—they are not unnatural, but in the order of things. It will be necessary, however, to do all this intelligibly to our readers, to dissect a little the first indictment, which is subdivided into eight counts: an operation, which it is to be regretted that some member of the GRAND JURY did not think of performing, for the benefit of the country intellects who must have been serving on it in fearful majority of number. The first paragraph of alleged libellous matter recorded in that indictment, runs as follows : We leave so important a question to be answered by the silent response of the reader's own heart. But we can imagine a case and one of not mere visionary application, when the devolvement of Royal ►onours on the next in succession would place in the bands of the Prime Minister of such a sovereign all the power and patronage of the Crown. If such a Minister were an honest one, no danger might be created, no abuse of power might be indulged in, no arbitrary measure sanctioned, no family interest erected into a monopoly of all the gifts of the King. But if it should happen, as it might happen, that the Minister of such a Sovereign were an ambitious soldier—a man of vast wealth, and great family connec tions, proud, overbearing, grasping, dishonest, and unprincipled—,a man having the army at his command, the navy at his nod, every situation under the Crown at his disposal, every sinecurist. every commissioner of taxes, every dignitary of the customs and excise at Lis mercy, what could not such a man do to overturn the very Throne itself, and prostrate to the earth the laws and liberties of England ?" Now, the first remark which suggests itself to any sensible mind after reading the above tirade, is that the whole of it is hypothetical: a case put—and put strongly, if you will—but the application, left to be made by others. We do not, however, desire to take any thing—as the lawyers phrase it—by our hypothesis:, we will admit it to be a tissue of unequiiocal allega tions levelled directly at the Noble Duke : and, that admission made, we will ask—what then? Yes, Gentlemen of the GRAND JURY, we re-iterate our question what then ? Is the right of popular discus sion to be put down—the freedom of political disquisi tion to be taken from the people, who hold it prescrip tively, guaranteed as a sacred birthright, an inalienable privilege—because its exercise may prove occasionally inconvenient to an incapable, or an unconstitutional Minister ? Admitting, then, Gentlemen of the GRAND JURY, that all these allegations were not only directed against the gallant Field-Marshal who presides over the civil Cabinet of the King, but admittting that they could be all disproved ; we will still press our question upon you, and demand—what then? Is the liberty of public opinion to be coerced, and its expression penally visited, because an error of political judgment has led to imputa tions which in reality there was no ground for raising Have not experience, and the law too, shown that such erroneous imputations are always sure to be corrected by the unerring general judgment—while the collision of many judgments tends to mature and rectify the popular mind, and' to keep the Minister on his moral mettle ? No, no ; these very mistakes—or extreme indulgences in dis cussion, if some prefer it—are not without their bene ficial effect, and originate in ipsissimd naturd rerum. For it is established by the charters of this realm, that the people shall enjoy a large latitude and freedom in State animadversions ; and this latitude and this freedom—so long as they do not trench upon the private fame and interests of individuals—must be kept sacred from the vengeance or caprice of power. If it were not sn—if these were liable to be invaded, and suppressed, at the impulse of Ministerial passion—what security would the country possess, against the superinduction by a vicious Government of the ancient tyrannies and feudal forms ? Stet Panum—net; In Wee ulus est PALLADZ SOW If we come now to a somewhat closer examination of the article under discussion, it will not only be not difficult for us to account for its very natural emanation from the Morning Journal, but we shall be able to bring forward some considerations, which will go far to elucidate, if not to justify and defend nrtny of its most vehement ex pressions. His imagined case about the devolvement of Royal honours, is a farce which we may prmtermit but when he asks if it should happen, " as it might happen, that the Minister of such a Sovereign were an ambitions soldier, a man of vast wealth, and great family connexions,"—nerer mind the five epithets ix italics, there is no libel in them: but when he asks, if having " the army at his command, the navy at his nod, every situation under the Crown at his disposal, every sinecurist, every commissioner, every dignitary at his mercy :"—we say, when he asks whether such a man could not do much to overturn the institutions of the kingdom, his question finds an echo in every bosom where thought inhabits. Impressed with these sentiments our selves—powerfully affected by them—we protested at the very outset against the Noble Duke's translation from the Horse-Guards, to the political and civil supremacies of the realm. We did not disguise our feelings ;we gave them their faithful and vehement transcript—if not in language as exasperated as that of the Morning Journal, yet at least as unambiguous—and to those ardent expostulations of ours', the Times bore not an un remembered record. At that epoch, when the then fa_ vourite journal of England was in the very crisis of his tergiversation—moulting, one by one, the feathers of his public faith and popular sincerity, and gazing with syco phant fascination on the sudden sun-burst of arbitrary power—the letters of LAMBDA recalled him for a brief in terval to his sense of duty, and shed through his semi converted columns the spirit of constitutional remonstrance. But that was to subside presently for a base, truckling, and subservient attitude ; and the proud journal, who pro tested at our instigation—with all his characteristic elo quence—against the dangerous and unconstitutional union of incompatible powers, fell prostrate before the individual thus anomalously invested, and blew the trum pet of his degradation in the ears of an unsuspecting people : Servitium junk populo ail tale verged. The principle of the Noble Duke's appointment was a departure from the spirit and usages of the Constitution, which ought to have been universally resisted—as well without, as within the walls of Parliament : for it was easy to anticipate, that—that which has happened could not fail to happen—we mean the filling up of the great offices and civil posts in the State, with military minions. We mean, also, various collateral encroachments, towards the con solidation of a power which is alien from our English laws and precedents : especially the disbanding of the militia—instead of reducing the army—and the in troduction of a soldier police. in the other counts of this indictment, the principle of our contemporary's invective against the Noble Duke is not so pure, and he degenerates into party ravings, which mark him as a creature of the Duke of Cu MBER LAN D. But his " Respice—Aspice—Prospiee"—ad dressed to that Prince—is at least as innocent as it is ridiculous, and in no part of the alleged libels does he expose to public notoriety the personal follies and private vices of the Premier. As to his assault upon the military glories of the Duke, it is like the manning of a rush against a wall of adamant ; for they are high lifted above such contemptible annoyance. We cannot, how ever, conclude these observations, without deprecating in strong terms the facile predisposition in the GRAND Ju ay to find Bills, which a moment's calm reflection ought to have shown them it was imperative to ignore. For it is one of the last proofs of a degraded press, and of a people reduced to vassalage, when Jurors can be found ready to send up bills on a charge of con structive libel, and to range themselves—by such forced and curious inferences—on the side of vindictive power. The Algemeine Zeitung of the 7th instant, received this day, has a powerful article on the conquest of the East of Europe by the Russians. " The Russians," says the writer, " are in possession of Erzeroum and Adrianople ; and no Turkish army is to be discovered capable of disputing the advance of the conquerors. Thus, the incurable weakness of the Ottoman Empire is placed beyond a doubt." This article then proceeds to set forth that— The helpless condition of Turkey has been long no secret ; the unanimous testimony of all travellers had announced, for years, the inevitable fall of the Sublime Porte. In addition to this, the long struggle with the weak and disunited Greeks proved India. putabiy the impotency of their tyrants. But rsilticlans would not acknowledge what was manifest, because they found it 'neon. venient to accommodate themselves to the new state of things, and to create a new order when the old bad perished. They ac cordingly preferred deceiving themselves by vain hopes. It was hoped to make the Greeks incapable of longer resisting the Turks, by keeping up their internal disunite. Sultan Mahn:Dud, who preyed on his own vitals,—and, with dreadful barbatity,masmered Christians and Janissaries, was represented as a gnat refeenner ; whose government, as Sir R. Gomm says, " was charaineeined in so distinguish ed a manner by the otesquest of dilleskieened ides a d a g n i t ind o e, Rut the warlike spirit 1 11 #1 14 1 *Slog man In the murder of Ida defenseless selissls wan the ala at ell the natural and artificial obstacle sigendes tio MIK bees able to hinder these trims pomades buss the heat of hie as. pin and threatening his capital; the oesafreswe of dificiddes, the wise Governor, knows not bow to advise ise help himself; and the help of his friends proves to be 12611111lieln. In vain have they endea voured to detain the enemy by accounts of his defeats; in vain have they annihilated him by plague and famine; it vain resented his numbers as inconsiderable, his skill as small, and the Balkan as as inseparable barrier. This enemy subdued by famine and peed tenet, and frightened at mountain passes,--this little band of ad venturers is now within a few marches of Constantinople • and finds no army that needs to be conquered. This is the naked truth of the serious fact which has suddenly put an end to delusions. Some friends of the Turks still comfort themselves with the deliverance which is suddenly to come with the speed of the telegraph from Eng land—" Me oldfrierod." But the organs of public opinion in England, already acknowledge that it would be foolish to hope that the Christian Powers will unite to restore a fallen Musaulman empire ; and the Duke of Wellington finds that the old friend in Constan tinople has drawn the misfortune on himself by his own obstinacy. The boasts of the Times, which would annihilate the Russian navy, with some ships in the Baltic and the Reline, have met with the fate of other boasts, and the world sees that too much im. portance was attached to them. It is not forgotten that on the twentieth of February, 1807, the English fleet under Admirals Duckworth, Louis, and Sidney Smith, indeed, passed happily through the Dardanelles ; but was obliged to return a few days after with considerable loss, and without accomplishing its object, and without having met any enemies but Turks, and the bold eloquence of the French Ambassador, General Sebastiani. We remember also the total failure of the attempt of the British fleet, in 1810, to destroy the establishments at Cronstadt, on which occasion several of its ships suffered severely. Only such expedi tions as those to Copenhagen, Washington. Parga, and Terceira, seem to be the classic field of English policy and warfare. The Russians might therefore have good reason to be easy in ease of threats. Happily these are not to be expected. England will not go to war against the fate, against the sound sense of pub lie opinion, and against the sacredness of Treaties—to attack an ally whose rights it has solemnly acknowledged. If such an attack on public morals, and the law of nations, might have been possible a few months ago, the state of things is now mate rially changed. Europe will ;bus be indebted to the decisive, perhaps unexpected, progress of the Russian armies for the pre servation of peace. It has become necessary to learn to agree with Russia ; a war against that Power would be In every respect out of season.—Algesseine Sedum. Sept. 7. A Brazil mail has arrired this morning, bringing files of the Diario Fluminense to the 11 th July. These Pa pers do not contain much of particular interest; unless we remark that Don PEDRo'S choice of his kingdom seems to be a good one, inasmuch as the Brazils form an empire infinitely richer and more powerful, both in point of extent and population, than the wretched spot now usurped by his brother. The following are extracts : RIO DR JANEIRO. From the Diario Fluminense. JULY 2.—ln the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies on the 27th of June, the Archbishop 14 Bahia proposed the erection of three new Bishoprics in the Empire of Brazil :—" Divided," said he, " into eighteen provinces, each of which is larger than the greatest kingdoms in Europe, with a population of four millions of inhabit ants, disseminated and dispersed in places extremely remote from each other, and with great difficulties of communication, our Em pire has hardly nine Bishoprics; while the little kingdom of Por tugal, with three millions of inhabitants, has three metropolitan and fourteen suffragan Bishops." The Archbishop proposed the erection of three new Dioceses ;—viz. Cera, St. Pedro de Sal, and Minas Genes. JULY a and 9.—The Diario published officially the Treaty of Commerce between Brazil and the United States of North Ame rica, with the date of 12 Dec. 1828. _ _ In the Chamber of Senators, on the 4th July, Senor Verqueira made a speech observing the necessity for a law relative to the marriage contract. As long as the Catholic Religion was exclu sively recognised, it was natural that it would be required to be solemnized as prescribed by that religion ; but now that the Con stitution tolerates all religion, a new law is requisite. He there fore read a project of law on the civil celebration of marriage, of which the following are the first two articles : Article I.—Marriages contracted according to the present law shall have the same civil efficacy as those contracted according to the canon law, adopted in the empire. Article 4.—A marriage is valid if contracted in the presence of the Justice of Peace of the district of one of the contracting par ties, or of another Justice of Peace specially authorised by the Government, and the President of the Province and of his Secre tary—the latter putting the contract in writing—unless there are any of the legal impediments stated below. . . Among these Impedimenta are—The male being under 14, or the female under 12 years of age ; want of the consent of the father, or of the guardian and mother jointly, when the parties are under 21 years of age. Certain degrees of consanguinity. CITY. TweLvs o'CLocx.

Accounts from Colombia state, that the Colombian forces were drawing themselves around Guyaquil, which place was expected soon to surrender. Every necessary preparation was making to dispatch the Colombian fleet to the Pacific. The New York Gazette states that the amount of ditty secured at the Custom-house in that city, for the month of July, is upwards of 1,200,000 dollars ; daring the month of June it was upwards of 1,800,000 dollars; and the amount secured for the last five months exceeds six millions; full equal to the amount bonded last year dur ing the same months. _ _ A private letter from Madrid, 31st August, states that it was expected, that on the landing of the Havannah expedition in Mexico, they would have the co-operation of Generals SANTANA ' GAZA, and ARMIG O . G AZA was the person who had ITURBIDE shot. The same letter also states that the Duke of WELLINGTON has sent to the Spanish Government the list of officers im pugned, and those who have served in the army of the faith, who are supposed to be in connection with the emigrants in London to bring about a revolution in the peninsula. A person is going about the Continent with forged letters of credit; at the same time he has a co-partner in London who regulariy sends, through the General Post Office, the letters of advice. These letters are purporting to come from London bankers. The following is an ex tract from a letter from one of the first bankers at Paris : --" We sent you yesterday the copy of a letter apparently signed by Messrs. BARNETT, HOKE, and Co. requesting you would ascertain whether they had any knowledge of the individual described as Sir H. FREEMANTLE therein mentioned : as Messrs. BARNETT, &c. refuse to accept the draft drawn upon them by that individual, we have no doubt that both the letter of credit and letter of ad vice are forged by a person well acquainted with the establishment of these Gentlemen. We inclose you the letter of advice, in hopes it may lead to the discovery of its author, and that it will put Messrs, BARNETT and Hoax on their rani against similar forgeries upon the correspondents.' The individual representing himself as Sir H. PIIBEIIANTLI was a few days ago at Lille, where he obtained cash from several bankers against his drafts on us. THE KING. WINDSOR, SEPT. 13.—This forenoon the KING, with the members of his honsehold in waiting, attended divine service at the Chapel Royal, adjoining the Royal Lodge. —ln the afternoon, at half-past two o'clock, his MA - JEsTY, accompanied by the LORD STEWARD, left the Royal Lodge in his pony phaeton, attended by his usual retinue. His MAJESTY always drives his own phaeton, but frequently has a change of ponies, which he in general drives in a fair trot at the rate of 12 miles an hour.— They are beautiful animals inured to hard exercise, but well attended to. His MAJESTY'S drives in the course of the afternoon were chiefly confined to the Great Park. Thursday afternoon the KING, accompanied by the Lord Steward, in his pony phaeton, and attended by Sir HERBERT TAYLOR, Sir CHARLES PAGET, and Lord and Lady STR ATI( A VEN, in the double-bodied phaeton, with the usual retinue of out-riders, left the Royal Lodge, and in the course of their recreative drives visited the Castle, where the Royal party remained but a short time, and returned by the new line of road into the Long Walk, proceeding direct to the Royal Lodge, where they ar rived at half-past five o'clock. The distinguished party had the honour of dining and passing the evening with his MAJESTY. Saturday Sir CHARLES PAU ET and Sir HERBERT T.%vtoit left the Royal Lodge on their return to town ; and, owing to the unfavourable state of the weather, his MAJESTY did not leave the Royal Lodge. This afternoon the bands of the Royal Blues and First Regiment of Foot Guards gave alternately, for upwards of two hours, a grand display of their musical talents on the Castle Terrace, to the great delight of a numerous and respectable assemblage. Her Royal Highness Princess AUGCSTA continues her visit to their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, and is not expected to arrive at her resi dence at Froginore until Friday next. His MAJESTY is expected to leave the Royal Lodge about the middle of the next month, for the purpose of paying a visit to Brighton. His M AJ ESTY is expected to stay at the Pavilion for at least three months. The private band expect orders to attend.— Windsor Express. The Kum has at length signified to his Coterie at the Royal Cottage his intention to visit Brighton before the close of the present year—probably early in November. The site on which the Lodge in the Great Park stands, notwithstanding every effort in the way of draining and trenching made by the most experienced builders, is far front healthy in a wet winter. The Pavilion at Brighton is always ready for the KING'S reception, by merely un covering the furniture, and putting up the curtains. A certain portion of that Chinese Temple is composed of such fragile materials as to require constant renovation, to prevent its crumbling into ruins. These repairs the Brightonians annually convert into " note of prepara tion" for the return of the KlNG—in the present instance they are right. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. CHANGES.
