The Ministry is yet unsettled; all persons who possess the least respect for public feeling have de clined forming part of the administration. The individuals named to the vacant ofllces are many of them justly obnoxious as to cha racter. and the merited unpopularity of the change h so universal, that the Prince de Polignac cannot hope to make head against the Chambers when they assemble, or to secure a majority at the elec tions. It seems as if no experience can amend the wrong-headed. ness of a Bourbon King. In this respect a northern and southern &mite makes no difference, the taint Is Inerasible . The news pepert are prosecuted for b oldly tellies the truth ; the Liberals are every Where greeted with acclamations, and societies are formed to resist encroachments on the public freedom. The fanaticism of Charles has changed the quiet and (utterly state of the caviary a month or two ago, into • scene of fermentation which it may be *At fire him if it should not end as did the slmUar 'teasers of James I I. in Wood. It has afforded great gratification to all who abhor despotism, Char the attempt of the Portuguese Usurper to capture the island of Terceira has been defeated, with the ism of one-half of the ex pedition despatched against it. It appears that blood and desolo. don was to Wive followed the capture, by orders of the most con. temptibe animal that ever placed a diadem on his head. The loss of the Portuguese is estimated at 2,000 killed and prisoners—the latter mostly voluntered their services to their conquerors : such is the constancy of slaves to the cause of a tyrant! The attack on the island was made on the 11th July, and a considerable body of the Miguelite troops were permitted to land. They were attacked by the troops of the garrison, while the guns of the batteries were directed against the divisloo of the expeditionary army which was coming to their assistance. The wind et this time was unfavourable ; con. fusion occurred among the boats ; and the Are of the batteries sunk several of them, and did terrible damage to the remainder. The discomfiture was complete ; and the efforts of the survivors were soon directed to save themselves, instead of aiding their companions on the shore. In the mess, time the body that landed was suffer -1 ing still more severely under the attacks of the troops of the Count VW* Floe, and finally, the Whole who escaped the Are of the Loyallitidald down their arms. The number of prisooers taken is great. File hundred have already joined the standard of the young Queen. Most of them were soldiers of the Oporto division. the loss of the expedition is estimated at 1,200 on shore, and 800 drowned; the beach was covered with the dead bodies, most of them being washed up by the sea, the wind setting strongly in shore. COunt Villa Fier estimates, in the proclamation published atter the action, on the 18th of August, the loss of the enemy at more than a half of the expeditionary force. Among the killed of the Miguaites were Lieut.-Colonel Azeistdo and Don Gil An nes d'Acorts ; Lieuteuent-Colonel Doutel and the Colonel of the Ist Cazadores are among the prisoners. Among the Loyalists there were three officers and nine soldiers killed, and twenty-five wounded. The following Is an extract from the prod:motion of Cuuut Villa Fior : " The enemy has left your shores covered by tie dead bodies of his men, which he sought to inundate with your blood. The sanguinary orders which they brought against the garrison and the faithful people of this isle, Providence, which frustrates, and always will frustrate, the efforts of crime, has turned against them. More than half of his soldiers have perished by your fire or the waves, or have received from their generous con querors that reception which religion and humanity dictate, but which the orders of tyranny prohibited them from giving to your defenders, and even to you, if we bad been conquered." The Russians have nearly brought the war in Turkey to a close, under the walls of Constantinople. The Extraordinary Supple ment to the " Journal de St. Peksrsburgh," of the Bth of August, gives the bulletin of the operations of the army of the Caucasus up to that period ; the conclusion of which recapitulates their successes as follows : " Thus in fourteen days, niter leaving the provinces conquered last year, your Majesty's brave troops have passed two lofty chains of mountalos, still covered with snow • have destroyed the Turkish army, taken two camps, with the i mportant fortress of Hassan Kale, all the enemy's parks of artillery, and his field pieces; and having thus made it impossible for him to think of defence, have obliged him to deliver up the centre of Ws . power in the East—a fortress and • citadel, which might have sustained a siege. Lastly, they have taken prisoner the Seraskier himself, Commander-in-Chief of the army, and Governor-in-chief of Asi atic Turkey, and four of his principal Pachas." Erzeruum is the capital of Turcomaida (the ancient Assyria), situated at the source of the Euphrates, and is not only important from its magnitude, wealth, and position, but was made by the Turkish Government the centre of all the forces and resources which it had collected to carry on the war in defence of its Asiatic provinces. In the mean time a strong Russian corps was landed at Suborn to co-operate with' the *sty that was manoeuvring within the Balkan, and ad. vermin upon Ad:temple, which the Russians entered, and from which they continued their advance, almost unopposed, until the Sultan, backed by the Ambassadors of the Foreign Powers, sent to treat with the victorious enemy, Who seems to have conducted himself with great moderation. The Porte adhered to the Treaty of the Bth of July, and gave orders to the Grand Vizier to send Commissioners to treat with the Russians. As these steps are stated to have been taken in consequence of the united reptesenta. dons of England, France, Austria; and Prussia, it may be pm- , mimed that in return. the four Powers will Ise all their Maumee with Russia to induce ,her to grant to her opponent es favourable . terms a, can, under all the circumstances of the case, be'reasohably expected.

INSANITY IN FRANCE. The celebrated physician, M. Eaquirol, has just pub lished a statistical report on the " Maison Royale de Charente" (the French Bedlam), which contains some interesting informitiOn respecting the nature, causes, and influences exercised by age and seasons on the segmentation or decrease set that most humiliating of all human sanctions, insanity. He begins wish a short history of the " Matson Royale," which was founded is 1641, by the benevolence of Sebastian Leblanc, as an hospital fur tbe treatment of ordinary diseases, but in after times lunatics were admitted into it. The building has been enlarged at different periods, and in 1790 contained between eistl4 and ninety insane persons. Its inmates at the present day vary from 490 to SOO patients. The ancient edifice, constructed in an age when the dreadful malady for the cure of which this asylum is devoted was very little understood, is in every respect far from convenient, hut the more tandem additions are well planned, and whets finished the " Mason de Charenron" will be one of the first establishments of its kind. In $ series of statistical tables, M. E•quirol gives the number of admissions, with a comparative view of the time of the year, the ages, the sex, the profession or calling, the civil condition, and the causes of the malady. It is curios, to notice the luduence width these different circumstances possess over one of the bitterest afflictions which can visit the human race. During the last three years the mean proportion of admissions amounted to 206 annually, and the same number was observed to have been yearly received from 3813 to 1822. In the table of the seasons the months of June, Aussie. and July produce the greatest, and the months of January, November, and May, the smallest, number of patinns consequently, in the French climates maniacs are more affected by I high temperature than by a cold one. This observation, however, had been made before in England. as well as in Napks. In the table of ages it is observed, that the frequency of madness is not in conformity with the progress of age generally. The most considerable number of admissions consists of persons between 30 and 55 years, and from 25 to 30. After 50 the number diminishes very abruptly. Madness is more frequent under twenty years of age with men than with women, and maniacs of seventy appear to be very numerous (particularly males), in comparison with the small number of individuals who attain that age. With respect to the acres the proportion of male to female is as three to two. But this result, which is so little in unison with the reports made by other establishments in France and iu other countries, may be ac counted for from the circumstance that at Charenton the wards foe the mates are more spacious than those allotted to females, and that soldiers and sailors afflicted with mania are sent there from all parts of Ike kingdom. If we refer to the accounts furnished by the madhouses iu France, the mamba of female maniacs exceeds that of males in the proportion of fourteen to eleven—that iu Spain the women exceed the men by one-fifth ; whereas beyond the Alps, in the kingdom of Naples, out of 1,877 lunatics 1,30 were males, an enormous difference, being in she proportion of two and a half to one. The same calculation has been made in a very opposite climate, St. Petersburgh• In Cork, Dublin, and other parts of Ireland, the number of males and females suffering under mental alienation, appears to be about equal ; but. on referring to the documents .f Bethlehem hospital and St. Luke's, in London, we obtain a total of 28,582 patients of both sexes, of which 15,865 are men, and 12,487 women, being at the rate of thirteen to twelve. In abort, on comparing the statements furnished from all countries. U. &qui rol arrives at this general result, that the number of males is to that at female patients is the ratitiof thirty-seven to thirty-eight. The observations on the civil state are very curious. They prove that more than half the number of individuals admitted at Charm. ton are unmarried. With regard to the sexes the difference is enormous, since there are 206 unmarried men, and only 87 women. The military profession seems to furnish the greatest number of patients to this establishment. During the last three years forty nine officers and forty-seven private soldiers were received, in all ninety-six military men, almost one-sixth of the total admissions. And when we consider that, although in the army the somber of officers is much inferior to that of the privates, it will appear re markable that more of the former than of the latter should be coo ked at Charenton. The real ranges of madness are very difficult of determination, as medical men seldom receive any satisfactory infornaatios on that score. The most positive information procured by U. Requital gives the following results : " Insanity was Caused by the use of ardent spirits in fifty-two instances amongst men, and only twelve amongst women. " Ninety-three petsons laboured under hereditary madness. " Jealousy, love, and even religious frenzy, appeared more fre quent than other moral causes, particularly amongst women." Many interesting details are related of the malady known under the appellation of monomania. This strange delirium, which dwells on one object only, is the nand obscure point of insanity. A cavalry officer, having been crossed in his affections, was attacked by reli gious monomania; he thought himself commanded by heaven to convert mankind, and wanted to kill his fellow-creatures to purify them from their sins. On every subject unconnected with his sup posed mission be reasoned calmly and collectedly, and his general deportment was equally as mild and placid as that of a lady, who was afterwards perfectly restored by M. Esquirol, but who had been actuated by a mint vehement desire of murdering her owe child, of whom she wu doatingly fond. As a relief to these sad records of human affliction we will observe that in the course of three years 209 individuals have been restored in a perfect state of mental health to society, at this hospital, being about one-third of the admissions. This statement appears so much the more favour able when we consider that the establishment at Charenton re ceives persons of all ages—those whose disease may have 'silted for many years, the infirm and paralytic, as well as patients termed incurable, who are sent to the hospital when their cases have been deemed by others utterly hopeless and despairing FRENCH PAPERS. From Me Messager des Chambres of Sept. 28. VIENNA, Szrr. Is. At the beginning of the exchange Bank Shares were at 1193; towards the close they suddenly fell to 1190. This decline is at- Handed to the news of serious disturbances at Constantinople. and of a definitive advance of the Russian force towards that capital. rams INC stboxp =mon. CONSTANTINOPLE, Scrr. 5. —By Farms*. The negotiations for peace are opened at the Russian head quarters, and couriers are constantly going backwards and forwards betWiett• Adrianople and the capital. The Porte alone is informed of the conditions on sad& the Russian General insists; It se v en to make a mystery at them to the Foreign Ansbassadots. It has constantly shown itself distrustful latterly of the European Powers, and it seems more particularly disposed to lean towards Russia. The Russians, say the nulls have handled us roughly ; but, at least, there is frankness in them; whereas most of the o her Powers conceal evil intentions under the mask of kindness. The Prussian General Nlufiling is said to be the only person who I. petfittly acquainted with the conditions of Russia ; but his active part in the progress of the negotiations is probably going to cease. since be is on the point of embarking for Genoa. It seems that the neeociations are founded on the Manifesto pal:dished by Count Nesselmde at the commencement of the war, and that the Sultan is disposed to make immediate payment of the indemnity claimed by liutsla for the espenaes of the war, as well' as all the necessary guarantees for the performance of the Treaty. The concluilon of peace offers at present very few difficulties; we may he convinced of this by the despondency of the Turkish Mini/ten, and the pompous terms in which they eiptess their et teem and regard for the Emperor of Russia.

PARIS, Sart. 28. The attempts which are making at persecution and spying by th• new Mast.•r of the University have revived the question of " the liberty of instruction." A journal which is a zealous panisan of Dun Miguel and the late Ministiy has been attacking what it cans the entaneiriatioo of public instruction. By attacking certain well known Professors, it also attacks the present organization of in struction. Shall we preserve this university scaffolding, at the bead of which Is the Trono—ass intruder? Will this numerous stall, those Counsellers who are so richly paid and who give so counsel —those official inspectors of public Aces for which secret ob servers are substituted, be preserved? Or rather is it not time to suppress this vast Intellectual and fiscal Government. appointed at so great an expense, to place, displace, watch, and serve hun dreds of professors who are the tarpon of that plantation? The question as to entire liberty of instruction is grave, anti is calculated to occupy all minds sincerely attached to monarchical and constitutional order, promised by the restoration. The esta blishment would, indeed, be a fine result. But is this within the power of the present Ministry, and do its writers wish it? The freedom of instruction required by the Journal of M. Slontbel, is just like that general liberty of conscience , decreed at a fatal period of English history. Then, as now, the only object is, by this appa rent liberty. to destroy the legal restrictions which there existed spinet the Jesuits. And they then subjected all opinions to the chain, the end of which was held by the Jesuits. Let sot the sincere and geseeoss friend of free instruction lose sight of this gross artifice. .

FIFIDISX APO OF A 11711.11 IN ?11l MOM ADMINZIII2/11101f Illaisters do not hold their office long it France, and we hope that the present will pass away sooner than others ; but if their Eminencies are fleeting, the abuses are permanent, sod it i. alway, the country which suffers. There is not a single well meaning Deputy who does not bring to the Chamber a lively desire to diminish the expense of the Ad ministration; terrified, however, by the details, he has been cop tented hitherto to vote for some resluctimis on the whole. The Ministers, however, take care that these reductions thsli not reach their sinecures and accumulated salaries, but they cut off something from the funds destined for literature, or Isom the resuorce des tined to the hospitals. The Deputies wish to check abuses; the retrenchments, however, are made of useful things, and the re ',tidy thus increases the disease. Ought we not to seek to put a stop to this course of proceedings, at that time when, with Gods help, we shall have Ministers capable of effecting good ? Three things contribute to make the public expenditure extra's. pnt—the system of:public offices, the choice of persons, and the scourge of recommendations from powerful persons. - . • . Under th e Consular and Imperial Governments e e ry thing was to be created in France. The elements of the old Mtinatchical establishments had disappeared—new institutions were necessary to meet the Dew cirtansetances. To frame them was for a long period the study of skilful men, who sought for men to suit duties. not Wiese to suit men. A la udable emulation in the chief ex tended through the subalterns, and every one conceived and planned, and digested a body of Instructions. The Restoration changed the administrators without changing the system. The men who. from every quarter. in 1818, made an irruption into office, like the Cossacks, looked much more after booty than labour. The abuse of office was preferable to the dangers of inex perience and presumption. But now the principles are known, the foundations are laid for a practical Administration. If there are any new ideas, the Administration rather receives than com municates them. Is it not time, therefore, to put an end to that multitude of reports, to that emission of circulars, which teach nothing to people a little informed, and which generated at Paris in order to govern. The Basses Pyrenees, the Rhone, or the Cates de NOW, are not more applicable there than would be the same dress for twenty different persons, or than would be the same medicine to all the tick of an hospital. .Heimootat. or Tee Patric? or awe Vows.—We perceive by' thi Yondc.sr, that M.

We shall net quote the W. but bring the ciressumstances before our readers in RNA. tt tae Supposing that the Russian Commander in Chief bad tht iiitetstinst not to stop till be reached the goal designated by the wants of his country and the order of his Government, it is reasonable to adm•t. that having in view the capture olConstantmople„and only seems the accomplishment of this by overcoming many obstacles, be thought first of securing his position. without daring to flatter himself that this town would survive the conquest. It was, in fact, the result of foresight—knowing the character of the Turks, and that they. forced to give up the territory, would set fire to the building-. To save the city and its popu:ation, and perhaps the Sultan himself, it was the ssary to give up the use of force and employ the arts of diplomacy. The most important interests. and humanity itself, required from him a firm attitude and conellia . ory proceedings. The generosity of this resolution it is difficult fully to appreciate. A march of thirty leagues might terminate the war by the most important acquisition. The discouragement of the Turkish armies and the weakness of the Sultan were notorious, and placed no obstacle in the way of thus concluding the most me morable expedition of our times. In place of acknowledging that delay has been dictated by prudence, the most wild conjectures have been indulged in. lie has been stopped, It has beets said. by a word from the Ambassadors, and by a proinise given by the Emperor, that whatever might be the chances of war his troops should never occupy Constantinople. Peace at. longer depends on the Sultan, but altogether on the conqueror.— When be has accomplished his mission, he will grant pe'ace. It obliges him to drive the Sultan into Asia, or it the promise at tributed to the Emperor Nicholas has been made, he will only leave Isialunoud at Constantinople, on the same footing as the King of Poland was left in his capital, till the definite dismenthermetit of his kingdom. In the former case, Constantinople will bee dor a Russian city in the latter, it will for a season have i:s Poilia towski, under the guardianship of another liepnin. General the • bitsch has been obliged either to obtain possession of the City by a rapid march, but then it would be a heap of ashes and slaughtered Christians, or to resider himself master of it by negoc4tiens. Ile appear. to have preferred the latter, which accounts fur the slow ness of his operations. Fez/scat Fuons . —lientes 'Five per Cents. 107 f. 30e. 25c. The. e per Cents, 81L 80c. SOc.
