We have alre..dy assignc..d our reasons for discrediCeg the rumours of any disturbances in the Fr‘nch cal,ital to the extent with which they have X:een magnified by the Co/trier and other Ali- Journals, notwithstanding they inform u; 1) 1 :It Lord C.asTr.racxdri has taken up his iesidence at . Dover Castltl, with a view to r..ceive early dispatches Morn France, that our Ministers tniOit avail themselves of any sudden change in the ailairs of that country. In addition to the importance of the Noble Lord's residence at Dover, it is further stated that Louis XVIII. has had an aml;once with the PRINCE RECENT, which, it i 3 conjectured, re lated to the conspiracy, andf that meas:,..es were to he immediately taken for the restoration of the BucitsoN3. We are not disposed to libel the cha racter of the Pitisce, by giving countenance to any such idle reports, and are persuaded they will turn out to be a mere fabrication. A Gottenborgh Mail arrived last night, as will be ce0:1 in a preceding column; we have also received some furtLer extracts this morning, which are as fol low :--- Alusictr, Ocr. 4—The Emperor of the FRENCH, o hearin....: of the battles of the 17th and I:ith Au• g a;:d of General Denot being wounded, atl - the fi:llo,•,'ia; letter to him:— " Genvial of Division, Count Drum, I write you letter to express my critire satiitaction at your di,tinguisheti conduet in the battle of l'olotA, and my regret at your heing wounded.

IJ,—Our Gazelle contains the fidlowing:— " ills Excellency the Marshal Duke of T.t -rtcyrt.;)l, arrived on the .ith instant at Itauske,lwith a part a thk; hoops under his orders.—Since the last battle, of ‘r:.ich we have giFeti the Official Report, ;;.e Russian troops have maintained the same posi • / fiat'. The Russians have not attempted any attack." A large packet of French Papers was received th'i forenoon at the Foreign Office; but they are wholly destitute of hOprest. Government hare received some unofficial comma. mentions from the Peninsula, which are said to wing accounts from 1 4 3111 WELLINGTON'S Army to the 29th ult. At that time, Burgos still held out ; nor was Its fall, which was then hourly looked far, ex;:?cled to be accomplished without a farther coasi. tle,ab:e loss of valuable lives. The pro,spi:t distressed situation of the country, with tip: hopeless prospect of any immediate change !al:jug place that may temd to alleviate, or effordeven a temporary relief to the sutferine merchants, ma nufacturers, and a: titans, appears to he treated by our Government pith ►he most unfeeling indif ference Omni though it appears impossible that the people can long subsist under the accumulating mi. pry which the present system is calculated to pro duce, yet Ministers continue in the same track, di viding the loaves and fishes among the hardened and VlVYMPathisiag part of mankind, while the cries of OP Mee t grAllifig Pude; the weight of toxatioo • TI E STATESNI AN. and poverty, are treated only as rebellious inure muss ! We believe that the people of England, at I this moment, enjoy as few comforts, and undergo mote " r privations, than ever feli to the lot of the Russian i. and Ponal, geastuttry 1 for however they might belle -4grado by acknowledged slavery, they were well fed iantiitreited kindly ,by their Nobles.or Masters.; ho ! sides, the uncultivated bluntness of their feelings re cfincile.them to that condition of slavery which, to Englishmen, would appear the greatest of misfortunes. Yet so it happens, that our countrymen, with livelier i sensations of pleasure and pain, with a brighter •in tellect, and superior kttowledge, are to undergo as much toil as the Russian, with a refinement on feudal slavery, 'arising from the mortifying reflection, that they themselves furnish the means by which they are punished. The British Constitution, which. was established on the principles of liberty and virtue ; and the Par- lianietd, which was constituted and formed from the body of the people, independently, to administer wisely and justly the atLtirs of the nation, have, like all human establishments, become corrupted by luxury and ambition, which have produced a univer sal profligacy of manners, and given to tlid Crown an undue halt/mice, the effects of which hare a na tural tendency to break down the fettgesef liberty,and ultimately ..reader the ,:people tame and contented. vassals. • General Elections. are degenerating into nothing more than auctions of Boroughs, which must tuue Parliament, the Grand Council of the Na tion, once the guardia.a of the state, and terror of evil Ministers, ieta a party of sycophants, dependent and venal I nl..vays ready to cottErte any measures, which the Miaister of the clay .nay propose; and, which ; must tiaa;li degrade the House of Commons to littler mcee. , than a Court for the registering of Royal Edicts. When we view the true state of this once flourishing nation, we see the Government interest in direct opposition to time ititere•ats of the people, at a time when it require, their united efforts to hear up against the formidable enemies by which they are surrounded ; when we see trade destroyed— 'the revenues devoured by a national debt, and store millions wanted to prosecute a disastreus warfare, we shudder at the prospect before us. A 'Govern ! meta surrounded by such adverse circumstances, SHOULD THINK OF NOTHING BUT .5 15 TREAT Dile The Proprietors'of the STAR have lately thought fit to announco to . the public, in a very pompous manner, the extraordinary exertions they are making, at a heavy expellee., to procure early and exclusive intelligence, while, at the same time, they must be conscious of the meagre and contracted sources of their information, when compared with those Journals who subscribe to the French Papers, from which the STAR has withdrawn its subscription for a consider able time past ; since when they have only obtained that important branch of Foreign News from their j contemporaries, and publish it in SECOND EDITIONS ) as was the case on Saturday last, respecting the 23d • FRENCH BULLETIN, WhiCil had - actually cost the !STATESMAN Fifteen Pounds! naturally excites curiosity to know what original and exclusive jute's ligeuce the STAR has to boast of. Is it the vague re ports which are constantly circulated on 'Change by speculators and adventurers, for the purpose of en trapping the unwary and enriching themselves ?- 1 Is it the articles which were written for the S.r tit by lan American poltician, who pretetaLel to slew that his countrymen were the aggressors in the dispute with England, and that a war with America was not to be dre-nled, as it could be justified by our Go vernment?—Can the species of intelligence which we have of late so frequently seen vamped up in the SECOND EemoNs of the STAR, entitle them to boast superiority of intelligence over their contemporaries. One thing is certain—the ST ta may justly be ranked among the number of those Journals which are in the constant habit of publishing the most ridii culeus and improbable reports about the war in Russia, awl drawing conclusions which are not founded eith'cr in fact or probability, but merely cal culated to dkeive the public, and give a temporary eclat to Ministers, of whose conduct the STAR is now become the avowed panegyrist. We have our selves repeatedly received a number of such silly and vague fabrications, which we have not peblisltexl,axtd. thereby trvuldienfinicAfication of being compelled • to contradict them on the succeeding day. • • The Victory, of 100 guns, arived at Portsmouth I from the Baltic last night; she bring s no news of so l recent a date as what is to be foundiu the last Got- • tenburgh Mail.

The Revenge, 74, was released from quarantine yesterday, at Portsmoth. She is ordered to be fitted ' again immediately r to return to the Meditterranean. The Java frigate, with General Iltstoe and suite on board, for Bombay, together with the whole of the outward-bound East India convoy, were s till de- ! tained at Spithead last night, wind-bound. Two Heligoland Mails arrived yr:Acid/Iy, bringing letters to Friday last.
