Saa,—lt is only through its finances that the course *remits in Fr wee can affect this country, for while they continue prosperous, the influence of the C ro wn, end that of the aristocracy, will always be able to hinder any change in the Government. Pa triots may preach, and Patriots may write, but it will all lie to no purpose, as long as the tases can he collected, and Ministers cart pay the interest of the National Debt ; when these thing, cease, a Revolu tion will come of itself, without any aid from the f r ie n ds of liberty ; and of what nature that Revolu lien will he, there can he little doubt. It will he Jost whet it would have been in the year 1791 ; i t may not go to the snbversion of the Monarchy, but it wilt go to the utter extermination of all its abuses. Whether it will be bloody or not, depends on the degree of opposition it meets with ; but the feeders cis corruption and its friends may thank Mr. PITT for a reprieve of one-and twenty years at least, for had he net engaged the nation in a war, and by that means turned the French Revolution out of its na tural direction, a great change must have taken place, and considerably altered the Constitution of the Monarchy, but not greater than that produced by the Septennial Act, and the restoration of placemen and pensioners to their seats in Parliament. Although that which was almost treason in 1791, may be con sidered as patriotism in 1816, a difference of circum stances cannot alter the nature of things. Mr. PirT; by all the arguments and all the means that he em ployed against Parliamentary Reform, only laboured the more strenuously to increase its necessity ; and every million which he and his successors have added to the National Debt, has taken so much from the weight of their arguments, and added it to those of their opponents. In using the word Revolution, as applied to this country, it cannot have the same ex tensive signification as when applied to France. In that country a radical change in the Government was effected, from an unlimited to a limited Monarchy; end we have had what is called a Revolution, bu' it was only a ch rage in the / wenn of the Monarch, and a reform o f the Rbit.eg us He. have erept in since that period, ought tint to be co.v.i !.!re , l as a to!al revolution, but a change from a bad • of pa:it ic al health to a gorid one. W. cannot easily end • fern of our il u . refitment for the better ; but by altering I i.e • eta.ive situation of the different branches we may improve it. By diminishing the influence of the Crown and of the aristermirv, which have grown to an uncon rtitetional size, and increasing that of the people, has been too much diminished, we may restore to health end vigour that which is fast approaching to decrepitude and imbecility. Wi'hout this we must expect a greater change than any that can be eftected by a Reform in Parliament ; we must ex pect to see removed all the constitutional cheeks and restraints which have been placed upon the Mo narchy by the wi-dom of our ancestors, and des. helium rear its head in a country which has for ages beets freed from it—and the worst of despotisms too, that %rich is exercised under the forms of law. Even after Itome had lost her liberty, and submitted to the most odious ty rants, she retained all the forms and offices of a free government ; she had her Senate, her Consuls, and her Tribunes, and yet she groaned under the most oppressive tyranny,- to which these very Officers lent themselves as the twilling ngents.-11 France continue free, the rest of the Continent rtinnot long be enslaved ; and if France cats shake off the yoke of the Allies, she may he free even under the BOURBONS ; but the BOURBONS and the emigrants most be humbled. IVith en army of 500,000 men at their barks, they are talking is language which must not be heard In a country wishing to remain free; bet when these foreigners are expelled, the insolence of the nld Aristocracy and the Clergy w'.ll be silenced attfl things will then find their true and proper level. A Monarchy can only be tolerable in any coontrs as lopg as it is under the controul of the People's Re. vicsentatives, as long as it is the executive, not the comniamlieg power. To that state it was reduced by the Constitution of Spain, and may that C:nsti limier) soon be revived, and fifty thousand suffering patriot's be restored to their liberty. I remain, &e.

NEwcAsTLE, Oct. 2t.—The naval and military power made their grand muster to-day, and com pletely 6ucreeiled in regaining possession of the port, but nnt,in inducing the men to return to their duty. About 2O skins get away with crews mixed with apprentices, and, if the wind holds, I think there aid be many seceders among the sailors if they find they ran be protected. The Town of Shields ia wider the charge of the MO Sheriffs and County Magistrates, supported by a strong military toter. The business was accom plished Without Itloothitied, which was more than any one expected from the temper manifested in the morning. The some,' have most zealously gupposted lbe ma riner% in . their projeeta, not, those who withheld their assioaoce note exposed, by hiving their caps turned wrong sirh• out. It is alit' great pleasure we have to state, that thene is ever) reisfin to beli. , re that the disturbances nt S!iielis are at an end. The Mly or of Newcastle uent on hoard the 7'artarits, at Shields, at two o'clock on Saturday, and, with the oilier Magis tiling, took the most effectual measures to obtain the command of the harbour, and by six o'clock in the afternoon 25 ships had put to eve. The di4position of the military and natal force by Major-General Itiale and Captain Toker presented so imposing an appearance to the RePrilVil, that nn oppncition was made. The boats in which the seamen had been IR-Customer, to assemble, rind with which they had blockaded and commanded the harbour, were se „cured by the marines under Capt. 'Coker. On this result we heartily congratulate all parties interested in the trade of Newcastle, and the public at large. Another account says, "That on Saturday last the cavalry were drawn up, and almost instanCy made a c! , arge upon the whole body assembled, and at that instant the whole fled in all directions. — About 30 of the ringleaders were secured, since which several have been discharged, and others re. mained in custody. The charge was made by the cavalry with that order slid prevision, that not a single life was lost, and not even a carbine or a musket fired. A few hours after the charge was made, being then high water, about twenty sail of yes.els put to sea (manned chiefly by apprentices), and it was espected that upwards of fifty sail more would get to sea at the neat tide. When the ac. counts krt Newcastle, it was considered that the wholeelfair would be finally settled." The following is a copy of a letter from Lord Sidrnouth to the 11layor of Newenstie, to which we have sul.joitted a letter from Newcastle, dated the slay before yesterday.
