Sir Arena hear is said to have commenced a negotiation with the Porte. in which he demanded that Egypt should be delivered up to England unti the period of a definitive peace with France; but how, "rhea. or set ere, this negotiation was com menced, is not mentioned. With the exception of Otis teautheeticated paiagraph, the foreign papers coot sin little else that is new, of any interest, elcept confirmation of old reporte. The surrender of Cettu. and the oilier 'nun Wands, by Russia to France, and their occupation by the latter. we com arunicate.l on Tuesday. This event took place on the 19th last. It does not however :wear that Rns ►ia has, with the abandonment of Cattaro, and thy- Republic of the Seven Islands, entirely rencu;.ced het schemes of ambition in the tinurh. tier troppt are marching from the North fur Moldavia and Y4lactria, notwithstanding she had stipulated to evacuate these provinces, and that hostili ties have ceased between her and Turkey. These movements may be direfted immediately against Turkey or Austria, which latter power appears to be a little alarned, but they may ultimately affeel Egypt and India. To Ho. AAAAA a these are not objeCts of :emote ambition ; however im praClicable such views may appear to us at present. The measures against British Cr.m:nerce are en forced with great severity in Holland. The Ham burgh papers contain some accounts of the damage suffered by Copenhagen, in which the number of killed is e.timated at fifteen hundred. An article from Stralsund, of the 7th instant, mentions that the island of Itugen has been evacu ated by the Swedes; but this intelligent: is probably premature. The Treasury Jnurnal; are all by the ears. Two of them, The Sea and C9Urter, lately fired off a tremendous shot against the charafter of the Danish nation. 1: was a charge composed of catamarans, 40uhle.headeel, grape, and cannister, with a priming of FVLSeti'll torpedo, and various other devices for blowing up, or scuttling and sinking ships of war. A third of the fraternity, The .Ih,rlim: herald, from wham this precious information was withheld, stung with jealousy, has ventured to give a point-blank contradiainn to its corm atriots, and, stepping forth the champion of the libelled Danes, asserts that the holes in the bottoms of the Danish ships were merely for the purpose of sinking them in their own har bour, if necessary ; and that there was no in. tentirn of concealing them from the captors, they being visible to the first boats from our fleet that approached the shore. The Merald, not content with this revenge, with a view to recover its lost ground in eaily. official, authentic. confidential, private intelligence, made a start on Monday, and, in revenge, announced a new Ministry, in which it cashiers Mr. CANNINS, and places the Marquis Wexivsi v in hi: efFiee ; and tops the Mini-terial Pyramid by superae.nuating the Duke of Po RTL ANo, and appointing the Esrl of CH A [HA '1 his successor. This has brought down upon %he Lrrald all the weight of its rival Candidates for the golden smile; of the •I'reasury. Yesterday they repeated their at tacks, and returned, with increased spirit, to the charge. One of them, The Sea, last night gave vent to ils vexation in the following strifteress 0. We noticed yesterday the profile of a •new nisterial Arrangement given in a morning Paper ; we coped it maely as the remour of the day, which h ici lot even ?rohatririty to give it:zredit. Tile Duke of l'oai LAND, we believe, entertains no sort of int..!nii'm of resigning lit poet. He was ended to i: by his :,overt ties, to whom he was at t.)diedhy every puslie and personal motive. when that SJTEIFION was s!es^rted by Ministers who assumed t' themselves the sole capacity of carrying on the Government. His rank, his character. and his ta lents, rt , abled him to form an Administration, which has, by the confession of all Foreign POWetil, exhi bited a degree of firmness, of vigour. and of wis d. m, unknown to their 'predecessors. That any set of wen should wish to dissolve this Administra tion, oleo weaken the baud. by which it is kept to gether, we can impute. to no patriotic motive. We may venture to assert. that the proposed arrange ment, *lit all its parts. is totally without foundation. These repotts, however, as far as they concern the People of this Country, are of no great moment; they are known to be the mantifaaure of a party anxious for change, and little solicitous of the means by which is may be produced, and will be invalidated or refuted by the stories of to-morrow ; but the serious evil is, that the Ministers of Foreign Powers, resident in this Countty, and who are not so well acquainted wits the resties,ness, the ingenuity, nor the hostility of Opposition, and who dread no thing so much as a change an the present spirited and energetic Administration, are agitated and de ceived by them; aud, it is to be feared, some. times aft upon them in their dispatches. Op pesitioe are well aware of this, and perhaps we need seek no farther for the real origin and motive of these and similar fiaions. With regard to a paragraph which appeared in a P. per of this m3rn iiig. xespeZling the " assistance and advice" afforded to the Administration by a Noble Marquis, of whose talents there can be but one opinion, it scarcely seems to require any notice from us; no Cabinet would or could admit a person wholly irresponsible into their Councils; and if, for argument sake. we admit the possibility of such au anomaly, that person must he incapable of making the aid whi:h he is here supposed to give, a circumstance of public notoriety. Upon the whole, we caution the Public against giv ing credit to all those rumours. which selfishness and intrigue may spread:* Having given the words of Thr Jr,, we are not afraid of being charged with is,:sre2resentation s in them the report of the rumoured change is charged as the roanutatclore of a party, stranet. to any pa• trintie motive, and it reprobates the idea cf Marquis Wzxxist.er, as originating inn,.b bee source. Now we do rrpeat, that the List of t le new-Ministry was given originally by h e Ai orhiit Herald ; and the insinuation of the Nlarqais Wats xesi.ay being a principal behind 0.! cariai n , ginated in Tim Morni,g Post of yesterday, latter vestion is certainly one of great ennui, importance. How the lirasury Jo4riatt have beets led to commit thern.elves with each ether upon ir, and the Change of Ministry, so advanced by one, and iirnily contradieled by the test, we do sit pre. tend L.) say, but anxiously wait fur their explaration.
