Some changes have taken place in the management of this Paper, which, it is confidently hoped, will secure the public approbation. In announcing these, the PROPRIETORS do not feel it at all necessary to make any declaration of principles, in the strict sense of the term: nevertheless, they think this a proper opportunity to state, that they come for ward in a pure and liberal spirit, fettered by no party, though certainly favouring the remains of one, which it was once equally popular and patriotic to uphold. Concerning this Party they have elsewhere given their opinion at greater length—and perhaps with keener animadversion—than comports with the equanimity of these explanations. But they are not bound, nor do they belong, to any set of men whatever; and it is only in consideration that the body alluded to yet contains within its pale some shining and uncorrupt individuals —a nucleus of redeeming purity—that they permit themselves to mention it for a moment. Higher— incalculably higher—is the errand on which they start yet if, in the discharge of their great advocacies, they find themselves side by side with men whom the people have ceased to count upon as their natural auxiliaries, their satisfaction will be proportionate to the surprise. From their youth upwards, the writers of this an nouncement have always attached themselves to that scheme of Government which has seemed to them to unite the greatest administrative purity with the sound est views of practical impruvement. During the last twelve years they have lent to such principles of policy no feeble advocacy through the press. To the LIVER. POOL Administration—of whichLordCastutazAoit was the master-spring and informing spirit—they were con scientiously and consistently opposed: but when, at tl - e death of this public scourge, Mr. CANNING suc ceeded in the Foreign Department, they felt that the dissolution of an arbitrary system was ensured —lt would be superfluous, after this avowal, to dwell on the animation and cordiality with which they hailed at a later epoch the accession of that great man to the helm, and the anticipations which they formedfor.theleountry. They were blighted in their very formation by his death in the midst of his in valuable plans-but the conviction that his enlightened views will yet be realized, is strengthening more and more. The impulse which has been communicated to the popular mind must force it onward—the embank meets of prejudice are thrown down. The writers of this article have not been inattentive spectators of the secessions. which have lately taken place. Among these, the separation of Lord lhartnroen from .the high. Tory league has afforded infinite saris• faction. It would be presumptuous in them to conjec• Sure even, how farrn their general views—they will be likely to coincide with the Noble Marquis in his new character: but their impression is, that they may travel far together.. It is true,• the unconditional adoption of Roman Catholics into the Legislature of this Protestant empire, appears to have alarmed him into some original reflection of his own, and aroused in him a deep anxiety. lest it may be turned to the detriment of the State. But the law is passed, the innovation is introduced s the business is to guard, now, the Constitution—such as it remains. It is true, also, that the abolitions which the Nuble Marquis 'advocates, might still encounter—as they hitherto did—his hereditary hostility, and that his friendliness to ameliorations has been codtingent upon ittrdfnt.one, 1. oral measure. .But4setas stretched fortbhii to the Recormer.s.; the lathers of this not. are of that-class—atid they take it, though many have rejected it. ..It..is no time now to coquet with true mei; afid . exainine .too curiously if .they exhibit the criteria of party. 4phics 4he Paoramoas entestain of domestic totantasep's are liberal : they will never sup poi tonsures which 'tend to abrogate the freedom of the'sitkieic.

" HARLING, JULY 6, 1629. that the abolitions which the Noble Marquis advocates, might still encounter, as they hitherto did, his hereditary hostility." Passing by the question you have raised upon the probability or non-probability of my here• after proving faithless to the cause I now advocate (certainly in these days of apostacy no unreasonable hypothesis), I desire to remark, that I have never exhi bited nor entertained any hostility to the question of, Parliamentary Reform—and that when the late Mr.' CANNING, whose accession to office you hailed as " ensuring the dissolution of an arbitrary system," vowed, nevertheless, eternal enmity to the Reformers, I was neither of the number of those who, by their cheers, applauded the audacity of the declaration, nor of those who, by their shift of places, supported the individoal offering this unmeasured violence to the feelings of a large class in the community. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient humble servant, BLANDFORD." To the Editor of THS Evnrtaa Sus. Such a letter, from such a personage, will not fail to be read with intense interest. I The fact of the Noble Marquis's secession from the Tory league, was already notorious enough; but it was by no means so well known—until his Lordship announced it by this unequivocal declaration—that he , g never ex hibited, nor entertained hostility, to the question of Parliamentary Reform." Tai s is a most important avowal, inasmuch as it secures the Noble Marquis irre vocably to that interesting advocacy, the circumference I of which is extending itself every hour. It is difficult to say all that Lord BL.MJDVORD merits, on the score of such a candid manifesto: the accession is felt the more, because it was so little expected. We remember well the impression, which his new attitudes produced upon the House. A great Party—one of whose cardinal aims is confessedly to abolish the traffic and sale of seats—stood aloof, and left him to plead,unsupported, the cause which i c2as its NM 41 Mr. HOBHoUSE alone"—we quote from a document trot unknown to that Party —among all the ranks of the Reformers, bad either the courage or the virtue to stand up: and even his support was given with an air of aristocratic jealousy, and costive and uncandid reservation, alike inde cent in a professed regenerator like him, and ominous of the fate of the question. On the other hand, it was amusing to witness the overawed mediocrity of Mr. Pm, doing homage to the noble seceder. He felt that he could not oppose any argument, to shake his lost disciple in his constitutional determination ; and he tried to Ratter him—it was a clumsy essay—on the scare of his descent from an " illustrious warrior." As if the quartering. of an adventitious ancestry could come into comparison with positive public virtue: But it will be seen with regret, that the eloquent and manly assorances, in which our noble corres pondent distinctly pledges himself to support the great measure of reform—and denies that he was ever hostile to it—are not unmixed with charges of a grave character against the principles of Mr. CANNING. These .we will endeavour to meet, because we regard that great man as wrongfully treated, not merely on this very point of Parliamentary Reform, but misrepresented in aunts other lights, by the enviout satellites of present power: by the sycophants of that military chief, who sits now supreme in the civil seat, from which death only—as death did—could have divorced his predeceisor. Shall it be said that the man, whose posthumous infltience . has notoriously carried eman cipation itself—that mighty measure which equa lises excluded millions, and • throws wide the door of the " Constitution " to all alike—shall it be said that he would have resisted in detail those minor Re forms, those secondary purgation., which he could not bat know and fed to be, the nnavertible conse quences of his better prevalence? ' When we say 'daft we respect the Neble Marquis, Ike term is too weak to convey the sentiment with, wBi~h pis condaci 'has iaieired is: we adMire him, l 'We cabins • interest in him, we - gaped, stack .froot Wei • feel ,. . that ws • shalt nor 110144 , ' • . . el 4 • •ti We feel greatly obliged to Mr. &mow for his kind wishes: he will perceive that his communication has been acceptable.—We I cannot furnish, at present, any list of the Yacht Club for 119. We have received the following letter from the Marquis of BLANDIORD, calling upon us to correct a mis-statement, into which we had been inadvertently betrayed : Stn—Having noticed in your Paper of the 2d instant some observations relative to myself, I beg perminion to correct the following mis-statement—"lt is true also pointed. But it is precisely on this account, that we are anxious to vindicate Mr. CANNING before such a mind as his. Does Lord BLA/IRFORD imagine that the milder tone—when contrasted with their for suer arrogance to the country—of the present Minis ters, is imputable to any voluntary chaage in them ? Does he suppose that the stubborn bigotries of the Ex-Chancellor—the arbitrary bias of the Duke of %VII.. LINGTON—the contracted and mean-spirited policy , of Mr. Pair., have been spontaneously abdicated for a system of more generous adoptions ? He can not think so. Oh, no: it has been the impetuous rush of the popular mind—the burst of light—the torrent and diffusion of knowledge—which have carried their unresisting degeneracies down the flood ; and will con tinue to sweep and purge, until the moral surface is utterly cleared of its incumbtances. This WAS the so %VAR OF OPINION which M r.CA NN ING SOSCitated, Mr. CANNING waged: and now that he sleeps in the grave, to which his anxiety for the public welfare prematurely consigned him, his principles are misrepresented, hig memory insulted, and the laurels which are due to him exclusively, usurped by one who ought to rest con tented with his own. We cannot resist—as most opportune to these re marks—the following quotation from a little pamphlet, never much circulated; and we strenuously recommend its argument, not to Lord BLANDFORD only, bat to all those, who—from whatever cause—have been either disinclined to examine, or incapable to appreciate, the character of Mr. CANNINU. " It has been affirmed—and there Is no reason a doabt the assertion—that in all which related to his own immediate depart ment, the late Foreign Secretary was impenetrably dose. Such, at least, Is one of the posthumous charges of his quordans fellows in the Ministry, and it does honour to the accused. It wu a natural and necessary circumspection. He felt that his liberal and enlightened plans would be jeopardised by their unreserved dis closure to men, who recoiled instinctively from any system which tended to constitutionatist nation, and thus to trench upon the no longer imprescriptible privileges of absolute power. " On the subject of Parliamentary Reform, great public repara tion seems due to Mr. Cassixo, for he cannot new be misunder stood. From the date of his accession in Downing-street, the eye of the Nation was never withdrawn from him a single moment, but watched, with a deep and growing interest. his patriotic tendencies unfold themselves in the House of Commons. Ever and anon, some liberality of sentiment, more philanthropic than ministerial—some burst of public spirit, which found sympathy among his constituted opponents—removed him from his colleagues, and drew him closer to the people. How, indeed, could a mind so comprehensive and expanded as his, have been ever false to its polarity for freedom ! " He was averse from innovation in the Representative system, nut bemuse be was friendly to esisting vices, but because he saw that the Parliament must inevitably referus itself, under the in fluence of e eternal agencies already working. It was a favourite doctrine with him, that no compulsory compact could ever be made available against the slippery and invisible Prows of Par liamentary corruption : but that all those desirable purgation; and changes within it, are to be accomplished by the moral force of •public opinion acting upon individual minds, rather than by any coercive legislation which would outstep the march of its advancing probities. His hostility to this cardinal affection of the men with whom he coalesced, originated solely in his con viction that they were prose9iting inexecutable plans. That it was futile to attempt—and.unphilosophical to expect—any violent purification in human morals, or improvement beyond the standard of actual intelligence. That at this became exalted, public sera ant would more clearly perceive that their own interests are identified with those of the country, and their sincerity in its service become commensurate s but that, so long man oblique perception of things led men to prefer the furtive and sinister advantages of malversa. don to honourable reward, in that ratio they would be liable to the thossansd sorrupSer iajlucnces which are too subtle for any penal ties to overtake, or legislation to comprehend. " Such were the considerations which induced Mr. Cassais to resist all forcible inroads upon the Constitution, attempted by the popular Reformers. In his union with some of the Chiefs of that party the 3110111tIn be became free to act, he never abandoned his original grounds of dissidence; but in the simple fact of that coalescence alone, be was regarded—and riglals—by the country, as pledging himself to all attainable reform& " It wu the peculiar felicity of Mr. Camases genius, both to discover and illustrate the truth, that the best interests of a public Minister are the interests of the State he serves. While his Col leagues were retrograding into the darker ages, be kept pace with the ameliorations of his own. • That the exalted character which be lived to develops as a Statesman, and as the friend of Nations 'was nurtured into its glorious ripeness by the Sun of public Opinion, there cannot be room to doubt. He was a master-specimen atheist minds which, under the vivifying influence of her Fast Psass—are only to be found indigenous in the clime of England. " The adherents of the late men, and the late men themseives- r • who fell self-precipitated from the heights of power, like the swine in the Guspel, by some Divine impulsion—represent Mr. Canonic as the deadly enemy, and sworn, against every species of amend ment. He was, however, nnesur, the great Reformer and Re-caster of the Government : the Herculean cleanser of that asigean Cabinet, which had so long exhaled its pestilence upon the afflicted land. " Let his ophdons, then, about /Worm have been what thEy may the advocates of all substantive improiement will remember his lame with gradtude. He will be regarded as the blending point in which parties—who were long opposed—met only to amalgamate and disappear; as the annihilator of the senseless disdnetions of nig and Tory t as the reconciler of jarring interests, and victor over personal animosities in the highest quarter : who scoured the plaguaspets from the purple of the Monarchy, but succumbed under the after-infection of the filth which he had washed away." The Courier of yesterday, announces with an evident air of triumph, that Mr. STODDART, whose case we stated in the STAR of Thursday last, has been liberated by Don Moult., through the intercession of our Consul Mr. MATlitWi. When the shortness of this Gentleman', incarceration is compared with that of the many other British victims of persecution in Portugal, it is certainly a fit subject of congratulation. We have already stated that like nearly the whole of our countrymen who have excited the malignint wrath of the tyrant, Mr. Brox,. DART was seized without even an accusation beingtpie- , (erred against him. Here it may be again asked. how long Englishmen are to be left at the mercy of such ruffians as are s now adMinistering the affairs of Porto. gal? While we applaud the conclum.of Mr. MAntsws in this and other transactions; rie ,hOpe and trust the time is fast approaching, when British subjects will no longer be trampled on with impunity, In reflecting on the uniform conduct, and number.. less atrocities •of this contemptible wretch, we ire often induced to ask; 'what must be the fate of thou whom he ivies his subjtiits, it those of die oldisf ally a his soi disaitt kingdom are treated with such wanton lentality, • . • . . Wesaid we should advert w lb* state of Maio), which is a country that has excited, and for the time disappointed, so many hopes; but the English are apt to be too sanguine, and too depressed—they rush and tall Into extremes.' Mexico certainly possessed more of the characteristi c features of a political State than any of the Spanish South American Provinces or Vice• Royalties. The population was more considerable, and more condensed. Ihe communications were better. The establishment s had been formed on a more independent basis, and the arts and useful sciences were more cultivated...— But the ardent and sanguinary struggle for independ. ence unhinged the social as well as the state fabric. and left the conqueror in a feverish and restless agitation, which made him the wily agent of ambitious and tur. bulent chiefs who had survived the contest. Time, however, was cooling the passions, and in dustrious habits were beginning to reorganise the coos. malty. when the envoy of North AaleriCA, with the design of rendering Mexico a vassal to her policy, and commercial views, introduced under the pretext of Masonic Institutions, those Ultra Republican Lodges, which, aiming at the controul of the Government, occasioned revolution on revolution. A Pamphlet lying before us, entitled Spaxish America, and coot sining the instructions of Mr.ADaids to the American Envoy at the Congress of PAnama, clearly and unequivocally exposes those machinations But supposing, which is said to be the case, that Mr. Powsxrr should be recalled by his Government, that Mexico should no longer be disturbed by United States intrigues, and order, the first want, should be established, is Mexico in a condition to maintain a profitable trade with Europe ? to pay her debts, and internally and externally exhibit the character of an independent and prospering nation? Mexico, in her late most disturbed periods, has ex tracted annually from her mines, ore which has pro duced from 11 to 14 millions of dollars. This new capital is as regularly converted into a circulating medium,which she barters against foreign commodities; and hence a trade, very advantageous to those concerned in it, and who, to keep it snug to themselves, often write by their agents—is Trade is very dull. Nothing doing. We advise no shipments." Besides this precious metal trade, there is tobacco— cochineal—and every other article may be produced which is wanted for an European market, and which is producing by a people becoming daily more in want of European goods and commodities, by the inter course which has been established, and the convenient habits of a mere civilised state of society, which are rapidly extending. But, it is said, if this wealth really exists in the country, why is it that the Government is always in want of money? why is it we always hear the army is without pay, and that there is oo prospect of any remittances for the dividends? The people of Europe, learning that the treasury is empty, suppose the taxes have been screwed to the highest degree of pressure, and are yet unproductive.—An empty trea sury is the image of an exhausted, impoverished no. tion—but that is not the fact in Mexico—there are no internal taxes, properly so called. The Government depends for its general revenue on a Tobacco Duty and the Customs. It depends on the contigencies therefore of the Smuggling Trade, the de monstrations of LABORDIei squadron --11 possible blockade; but the quiet of the country, is again dependent on the former contingencies; for if the Tobacco Duty be not paid, if the Customs be not flou rishing, the army of military and civil emplosils becomes disaffected and disorderly, and every thing is at a stand still. Trade and commerce are suspende,d. It is necessary to get out of this vicious circle. This can only be done, Ist, by a vigorous Government, re solved to maintain the laws inflexibly and inexorably against factions, and offenders. General GUIRRERO seems to be a Governor of this description—a discipli narian not to be trifled with, and who ought not to be, if be acts only as the conservator of the peace, and exe cutive of the Legislative Body.-2d. By a direct taxa tion, which may secure to the Government the means - of paying the forces and commanding their obe dience—if not, eustosks qui eustodiunt, in the moment their allegiance are most indispensable—and which cer tain means of revenue may put the credit of Mexico on that footing of respectability as to inspire general con. fidence, Ind obtain all the traits of confidence. This seems also to be doing—the last advice: from Mexico intimate such a design. The bead Minister of Finance is a very clever man, and knows that good credit is the best mode to reduce a public debt, b orrowe d a t s i x p et cent—that it affords the only honourable, real, safe, 1 , and certain means of liquidation.
