We have received the melancholy intelligence of the death of Mr. Tor.— ( Afeinirer. s!PT. 18. From the backs of the Thames to the borders of the N• ''s. a kind of warring epidemy has seized all the j ,tl2 nalists. It would seem that their voice is going t I raise armies es Deucalion made men, by thrnwieg stars behind him. They form magazines, they etc. sit whole battalious, they have plans of campaign seedy traced nut ; some of them already braid crowns, and Mr. Kotzebue prelude-, they say, by irvedtive, to hymas of vinory. To the paroxysms of this warring fever, the death of Mr. Fox cannot fail to add a degree of heat, al though England is to be pitied, it the decease of a h 'litotes is to bring snout a revolution in the man ner of weighing her interesis. Mr. Fox died, with out it being known what he could do fur the happi ness of his country. We are well aware that the aothotity of his name may now he made use of to excuse fresh political blunders. and prepare new mis fortunes for Eto ; but. u,.cri All occasions. what. ever oral be the apeearancei, once %Nould wait for filets to judge men. We are all liable to be mis take's in probishilines. 1 he crass o bids Europe has just experienced could nest be terminaied without pulis¢al convulsions, from which she must reap great advantage for her tran iipsillity. She may be looked upun as in the last stage el the disorder whi:b Enelith influence had hrou, t ht upon les. The eretlion of several new Ktngsli•ms, she abolition of feudal anarchy, the dis intititioluedhe Get manic Empire, howevcr necessary they en s ; have been to the tutnre prospei ity of Ger many, have r.rtainly met with secret obstacles to te surnsontred, or given r'se to hopes to be repressed. 1 boss war were to tall, i are resisted ; those who wished to apparislise traCrlift Ives. have made demon. gratioos of power, measnreti by the extent of their pretensioits. A conceder:soon, similar to the One of the RNuse, has appeared to be forming. for the pur pose of binding in the same f.ues the Powers of the North ; but it is still in the secrecy of cabinets.— The military dispositions which are spoken of ate, douhilets, co.:ne:ted with this objeift ; but the cause should he known before the elietl be decided upon.

The Chevalier D'Oubril is disgraced. He is to be sent into exile. What, however, is the reproached with ? He aged with the usual powers, and, pre vious to his departure. the Emperor Alexander, dur ing an audience of three hours, gave him particitlar instrudions. ln,the Council also, shish pronounted his disgrace, the Emperor hesitated a long time be fore he delivered himself up to what we call here the English fadion. Kurakin, Romanzow, those persons, in short, who are of the most consideration, and who are the most worthy to exercise some in thence in Council, likewise hold sentiments favour able towards M. •)'Ouhril and his mission. The levy of 120,000 men, which is talked of in the late Ukase, is one of those inventions which may serve to amuse the coffee-houses of Europe. It is for us a great business to raise 90,000 men to re cruit our army. When one reads in the Ukase of a levy of 120,000 men, in order to raise the number of troops to 600,000, whilst it is known that we have nut so many as 180,000 troops, one cannot help smiling at the boast which reveals too evi dently the gross snare laid for the credulity of foreigners, who, not knowing Russia, may be thus caught. The writers of the Ukase could only have hit upon this ridiculous phrase, in order to endeavour to make it public that we have an army of 600,000 men. It would be much better to display this innu merable army in tire field ; but, unfortunately, this kind of demonstration is not to our taste. The po pulation of our empire is known, province by pro. vince ; it is not sufficient to explore the riches of some part of our soil, and place at a distance the weakness of our immense deserts. If we have 600,000 troops, how happens it that France, the greatest and the most populous nation in Europe, has no more ? The 600,000 men which we certain ly have, France has, and has shewn Europe that she can send tiveaixth► of them beyond her frontiers ; whtlst, with the efforts of several armies, and with the most alive recruiting for three years, we can scarcely repair our losses, keep within bounds the Persians and Tartars, and he able to send 100,000 men to a foreign territory. When affairs are evidently in such a state that it is inspossibis for us, in this respel, to have any hope of deceiving others, would it not be wiser for us to occupy ourselves its repairing the misfortunes which we have caused upon the Continent, in remedying those which we have drawn upon our selves, in endeavouring to renovate our army , to re-establish our commerce, and renew our con sideration in Europe? If we are not sufficiently powerful to establish our influence by force, we are pet fedi? enabled to succeed by negocia:ion and prauenee. Of all nations, France is the only one which eau p•tt on toot armies more considerably than those which she had announced. The other powers always (lees-ire those wt.o are disposed to believe them, and finish by deceiving themselves. Who would flatter himself with being able to fright en the Emperor of the French, by the foolish asser tions of an Ukase, published at St. l'etersburgh ? what will be the consequence ? By proclaiming that we will levy 1?0,000 men, we afford him a pretext to make an effedive levy of a like number, and thus ,:ell to increase :is immense armies. Wise men, who only desire the prosperity of their country, hold, one and all, this linguage. Those of the opposite party, that is to say, those who wish for war, say, that we are too far distant from France to be attacked, and not strong enough to do her any injury; we CAM still carry on the war in Turkey, raise an insurreition in those provinces which do not profess Islamism, restore the Greek religion, and make the Black Sea a Russian Lake. They will not listen to sensible people, kilo reply that these great projels cannot succeed; that, after some years of painful and dangerous efforts, sickness, the plague, and the Turkish sabre. will weaken our armies ; that France will then come to the aid of the Ottoman Empire ; and, lastly, that ae cannot hope to per suade Prussia, Austria, and England, longer than it suits them, to suffer us to annitilate a great empire, unless we succeed in spite of tliem. What should we do, say Kurakin and Roman row ? Encourage population and commerce. ‘Ve have an abundant produce, hut, without commerce, this is timeless wealth. We have an extensive terri tory, but, without population. this is useless power. 'l . O sell our commodities we must use different flags. To keep up our population we must have peace: still more is it necessary, in order to draw amongst us foreigners who may increase it. Nothing of this can happen during dim war. Every one, therefore, wishes that we should be doe friends of peace ; and that we should endeavour to deserve and to acquire the influence of strength united with virtue. These principles strike the Emperor; they operate upon his reason, at least as much as upon his dis position; but he is compelled to yield to that secret sentiment which brings to his recolleftion. that there are also in Russia, Chiefs of the Janissaries The Chevalier D'Oubn . ., is an innocent 'Aim, but opinion avenges his disgrace; and, what is not less impm tint in his exile, the consolation of knowing that his Master, at the bottom of hi, heart, pie serves in remembrance the powers which he gave him, and the instruaions wlach he detailed to him, in the long conference with which he honoured him. If we wished to snake common cause with Eng land, why WAS M. D'Oulord sent to France ?—We know very well that so early as the month of Ma: c::, the Cabinet of the Tonilleries refused to treat with England and Russia united. By this condua, the Emperor ...ire:miler bas floundered deepor and deeper the erroneous path into which hefiad thrown him self. Already has his reign effaced a number of brilliant and prosperous reigns, whilst he has excited discontent in Lis States. The Grand Duke Con stantine only escaped being assassinated, by the Yaw -1 bet Icrclkil at him flashing in the pan. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, *Sietszussit 24. The new Ministerial arrangement, in consequence of the death of Mr. For, WAS given in Tae GLOBE of yesterday, as follows : Earl Ftrawitcts se resigns the Presidency of the Council, but retains his seat in the Cabinet. Viscount Sinuous- it exchanges the Privy Seal for the Presidency of the Council. Loid flai.t. AND ObtALIS the Privy Seal, and a seat in the Cabinet. Viscount Howse resigns the Admiralty, and succeeds Mr. Fox, as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Earl Seracsa resigns the Secretaryship of the Home Department, and succeeds Viscount Howie at the Admiralty. Mr. THOMAS Gasevit.t.r exchanges the Presi dency of the Board of Cont oul, for the Secretary ship of the Home Department. The New President of the Board of Controul is net yet finally settled. It will be seen in the above arrangement, that some new Members are added to the Cabinet.— When it shall have been carried into effeet, the ex isting Cabinet will be one of the most numerous ever known.---ille removal of Earl Fit zwit.t.tast from iberelgiency of the Council was at his Lordship's request. His MAJBSTY is expefted in town this day, when this subjea will probably engross his attention.— Until the arrangement shall have received the Royal sanaion, it would not be respeaful, or constitutional, to consider it as fixed and certain.— We may, however, presume, that it well be the ob. jea of his choice ; and, therefore, foal OS liberty to observe upon it, as an event that may be an ticipated with confidence. The enemies of the present Administration appear to have groanded 1 their hopes of success, in an attempt to excite jealousy and suspiciln among its leading Mem bers. Mode et Ince,a, has been their ptinciple, their motto, and rule of aaion. Lord Gua ymas was told, that he was oily a whet in a Cabinet of his own for:nation, and that the Foaites had the ascendant. Mr. S , ,saits•s was assailed in the same way. The offi.:e of Treasurer of the Navy, a place which Viscount Mst.vaxa, when he could pick and choose, prets-tred to every ether, was represented as unworthy of Mr. Sme ars so's notice, and he was told that he was dis graced by a place unaccompanied with a seat in the Cabinet. The new arrangement Las exposed the impotence of these attacks, and d ssipated every guilty hope founded upon them. It shows; that all these iasidiou, a:tempts, and mischievous coon eels, have hat no effea uppn Lord Gaaavetta.-- The same disinterested, manly, • sad gamma spirit, that sought to place Mr. Fez at the head of . . the Foreign Department, now wishes to behold Viscount Howls; succeed to his place. This libe ra:ity is the mote striking, as Mr. Tuossas G4ts. vet sa, his Lordship's brother, is pe ci di e l y fled for the office of Foreign Affairs. I.lrd Hot.- i.• O is also brought into the Cabinet; and thus, at the moment when a few faaious intriguers flattered themselves that the Forms were extin guished with the life of their great leader, they appear in greater strength than in the late arrang, ment. When a body is animated ardguiJed by such a spirit, it is idle to talk of parties. Parties only exist where the Members have different interests, ptinci. pies, and views. In the present arrangement, there is but one wish aad one principle. 'lle Ftutircx and the Caserta'. its are consolidated in one indis soluble mass, w::hout difference or distir.-lian. We cannot, however, be angry with those writers wilt: prophecied the utter estinetion of Mr. Fox's ftiezds. upon the death of that great man. Judging be their own selfish and sordid views, it was natural for them to presume that the GRENVILLIS, unre strained by the weight and talents of Mr. For, would trample his friends under their feet, and con sult only their own aggrandizement. We stated yesterday, that the French troops had marched from the Coast for Germ any.—The Paris Papers brought over by Mr. Sol [To, the Messenger, come down to the 20th, and corroborate this iseel ligence. The has which they disclose, and the observations in which they indulge, are all indicative of an immediate war between France and Prussia. The camp at Meudon began to break up on the 16th. A delay has arisen in the return of the grand army from Germany, and the military face at Paris are consequently postponed. 800 AP A nrE is also prepar ing to leave Paris. Part of his stud, and detachments of his guards, have already left that city. Holland, is avowedly his destination ; but there is strong ground to believe that be is going to put himself at the head of the army which is to aR against Prussia. Marshals Nb;v, D A VOUST, and Am. meat:, have been summoned to Paris, probably to receive new commands. The political strinures is the French Papers, we con , ider still mote decisive or war, than the fans which they an nounce. Nothing short of the dire& sandian and orders of a Government, that exercises an absolute tyranny over the Public Press, could encourage the Paris Papers to indulge in so much abuse of fo- reign nations. They fabricate letters, which they date Petersburg, Cassel, Dresden, &c. purporting is contala the sentiments of the people in these res7cc. ti►e cities. In these letters, Prussia is charged wits perfidy, and made the subjea of much other vulgar abuse. The power of Russia is depreciated, and her policy condemned ; and Saxony and Hesse are falsely represented as having refused to co-ope rate with Prussia, although it is well known that the Hessian troops have joined the Prussian army. ' This species of literary fraud and imposture is daily increasing in all the Continental Papers, within the influence of Bon A r ART e, and cannot Ise suffi ciently exposed. The Stock-jobbers of Paris, hoar• ever, seem to understand how the tide runs, whes this pLmnomenon, of a Paris Paper, unmuzzled, makes its appearance. The Five per Cents. which were so high as 671 on the 11th, were on the ISth so low as G 2 1-sth. The troops embarked at Portsmouth sailed oa Monday, in fifty transports, under convoy of the Fury and Hearty brigs.

With twenty years of peace we should become the greatest power on earth. bat ivory year of war, every year of tronble on the Continent, retards, in the proportion of twenty years, our prosperity. — Happy Russia, when her Emperor heard of nothing but Russia—when ht only sought to send his flag into every sea, but to export her produce into every port. but to draw hither foreign colonists. Then we should be triumphant in Europe, without clothing our families in mourning, without cteatiag alarm in our Councils, without shedding a drop of blood.

Nothing can mike against these results, for dironghout the ex tent of our vast Empire there is not a man who holds se-timents conti as y to this opinion, which es rtablishes itself by means of that influence which great and sablirne conclusions always have over the mind.

AUGUST This morning, at half past one, a shock of an earthquake was felt, which fortunately caused no accident here, but has done considerable damage in other parts of the Pontifical States. At Valletri, the Peirce and the Cathedral have greatly suffered. The church of Our Saviour, two chapels, two other churches, and several houies, were thrown down.— At Frascati, Zagaroli, and Nemi, much . damage was done, the Convent of the Observance was de stroyed, and the church opened in tour parts. At Aricia, a church was thrown down, and at Marino several houses were much damaged, many of the in habitants wounded, and some killed. ••• The Independent Electors of Westminster are most earnestly and most particularly requested to suspend, fur a day or two, all promise of their Votes and interest, as, in the event of Sir Faasicts B declining the high and distinguished honour intended him, another person will be proposed forWest staple's, worthy of their suffrages.
