The M,./sitter. contains the Sixty-fifth and Six`y-tixth Bull-tins of the Grand Army, both dated Orterode, the farmer on the 10th, the latter the lath last. 'the position of the respective armies is dis tinaly laid down in these articles. The French oe copied a lime (torn the mouth of the Passarge. at Besonsherg, along that river, to Liebstadt and Moh rin*tl4 thence crossing to the right bank through Gus' stadt and Allenstein, to the little river Omulcio. The Rusin Army appears to be concentrated on the side of B.vtinstein, upon the Abe, and the Prus sian division ma the side of Crentzbourg, ahout said-way between Bartenstein and Koningsberg. Both armies thus appear to be very much concen trated, p.irticularly the Russians. They effeeled this by a re:mgr.-Ide movement towards Koningsberg, a very judicious measure ; as it appears to hare teen tha intention of BONAPARTZ to repeat "e mamceuvre which brought on the bat tle of Cyltu, by auempting to turn the ene Tny'; left wing. In this situation. the Bulletins "y. the French army remains in cantonment, where it continues to tike its repose. Such re 97se few will envy it; for scarcely a day ap -,vars to have passed. on which this repose was rot et:• , erbod by the Russians. These restless and tmnlilcsorne neighbours beat up the French quarters the Ist of Id arch ; afterwards. at lA'illen burgh ; and on the Mb at Guttstadt. Pie atlions, however, are represented as mere skirmishes. anti the resuiss favourable to the French. Meanwhile, the 7rench have invested Dainzic and Colberg. An attempt, on the part of the Russians, to relieve than, would bring nn a general ergagernent. The French Papers ako contain an intercepted letter to the Ri's.laN A 4RAssAllnk, at the Poore, ex plaining the policy of Ops'a, in relation to Turkey. Some of Elie Papers are sn much carried away by party spirit, and sa many attempts have been made N Ora the public mind, we are almcst afraid to make an observation of any force or strength spun the present critical state of effeirs, lest we should Maw the suspicion of bring adu tied by the prin ciples and motives which we condemn in the con do& of others. This contreektion is not confined to the collision of Prints in adverse interests; it preveils even among the' I reasery Pilots, which drink at the same feuntain of knowledge, and take their lessons from one and the same master. Thus, a Morning Paper of yesterday, devoted to the Minister, assures us, that the uctv Ministers have already pre pared a grand expedition, end that they have not lost a moment to cultivate nun improve our fore* re lations. An Evening Print, in the same interest, on the contrary, assured its readers, last night, " that not one Foreign tvimis:er has been yet recalled, nor any one eppoiutment yet taken place; but that these reports of cheiiges are only • meietterre of the &- Milian's, to impress the public with an idea, that every thing is to be thrown into confusion " Under these circumstances, then, we feel it our duty toavail ourselves of every means in our power. to awe! that censure which We bestow upon others. One obvious mode of caution is, to quote the identical words of the petty Prints which we seek to expose. Our premises will taus stand free from the possibility of contredletion. and upon the fairness of our in ferences the public will decide. We stated. in a former paper, that the •prestint Ministers casuot stand without a disseltrion of Parliament; and we have good season to believe it has been signified to them, that they must not epee that expedient will he resorted to for their convenience. It we wanted, ever, any'proof teat such is the fad, The Cowie., f last night, would he surge ent to re cove al: doubt. It curtains a long and elaborate article to prove he wisdom and volley of a dissolution of Polio. ment, at this particular moment. That we may not be charged with misrepresentation, we give the following passages. " There is a complete justifi• cation," says The Courier," " of the exercise of the Kino's Prerogetere of dissolving Vehement, when the Kisto's Servants; who. on such occasion, must be eSing agreeably to his wish cannot ob tain the support of Parliemeat to the resistance or support of some great measure " Again, " A Par liament, which has not set four Jays, may render a dissolution necessary by ire condo& ; indeed. it is ob vious that such a Parliament is mere likely to ireur this necessity, than one which, having sat keverel sessions, has preyed its principles, and is known by its coneuet." Ateerding to tint mod. of reason into the Parliament is to be conei ierea as a poee man would iris child. It is better that it should the in its infancy, than after he had the trouble and expense if rating it. But why net apply the same argument to the Ministry ? The Mi ' iiistry is still younger than the Parliament. and has bad no orportunity of endearing itself to His MAJESTY. If it be a qaesam, then, whether the Minister or the Parliament is to give way, the for -1 ener. according to the rule laid down by 'I& Courier, is entitled to tile preference. That the Kora, by hi: prerogaive, may dissolve the Parlienient, when lout days old, or four heurs old, no man will dispute ; hut it would be a waste of time to enumerate the consequences of this ergument, if pushed to its ex , mine. If the KING were to dissolve every new Parliament, the mimetic it was chosen, the Gen try would be worn out in a year, and the Hnuse of Commons be filled with only such persons as the Minister should think fit to appoint.—lt is idle, therefore, to argue these extreme cases. The spi rit of the Censtitution will always assist the Royal Prerogative to aveid them. But why dissolve the Posliament ? " There are," says Tire Cour.er, es iff almost all boroughs. cities, and even in many comic:, certain persons, from Dukes down to shop ' keepers ; who, from situation or effort, acqeke an ascendancy among the Elettors. These persons will not stir with their troops, till they can make their assistance a great favour. for uhich they look to a return. The Treasury knows them all ; or, if it does not, they take care to mike themselves known. The Treasury sends to reqiiest their as sistanee. or they offer their assistance; in either case, the consequences are pettedly understood. In this way it is, that the Government Depar tments, but the Treasury in particular, possesses such an influence in a General Election, and lays the Cendi r dates under such obligations ; compelling them, in point of honour. for there is what they call honour, even in these infamous transadions, to vote through thick and thin with the Ministers who thus ass i st them." So then, the Ministers seek a dissolution of Parliament. that they may corrupt the Eaters, and those who influence the Eleetres, Ilona the Duke down to the ,;iopkerper, in every county of Engi Ind. The bitterest enemy of the Ministers could not, dare not make so wicked a charge against them ; nor could the most violent Jacobin ever produced by the French revolution' have drawn a piastre more calculated so degrade the Commons of England in their own eyes, and id the estimation of /Metro' Powers. had yet • /4e Corrlir rails against Pnikisq, Votes Religion for its purp.se, sad annonsides itself the very vilat of the Constitution, in Church end State. We statedin a former Paper. that thw reports of an intended ineurretli‘ n of the Negroes in J4rnaieea were without any solid inundation. They are now ascertained to have originated only in some tnflirg excesses of those people.
