true, but its forms were respected. When Villele's Ministry was turned out, after the elections of 1829, a law of Representative Government, which is the Government of opi nion, was also obeyed. Opinion was against the Ministry, and its voice was listened to. By the appointment of the new Ministry, will the Chamber—will public opinion—be satisfied ? Neither the one nor the other. On the con trary, they are both braved and irritated. What then has happened ? We have no longer a Re presentative Government—we have no longer even the appearance of it—we have not even a Government of good pleasure ; we have chaos, confusion, and vertigo. It was thought that the present Chamber would not agree with the Villele Ministry ; they were not even brought together, and now to this Chamber a Ministry, a hundred times worse, is given. What then has happened within eighteen months ? Undraibtedly the Chamber did not fulfil all its promises ; but has it ever shewn any wish -I 'n. the return of Villele's system ? When tk - e Chamber of Peers lifted up M. Bucher in FaVour of M. de Peyronnet, what a large ma jority of Deputies repelled this hazardous at tempt ! It is then plain that the men and sys tem of Villele's Ministry are hated by the present Chamber, as they are execrated by the whole people. They are now not to be re-established merely ; they are to be strengthened ; and appa rently the frauds of 1824 are to be combined with the proscriptions of 1815. Has the Cham ber then any attachment to the Jesuits ?—Quite the contrary ; nevertheless the apologist of the Jesuits is re-established, and a Minister brought into the Cabinet, who has praised them so as no member of Villele's Ministry ever dared to do ; the direction of public education is to be con fided to this man, who in public instruction can et nothing but a parcel of religious orders. Now therefore, we are to have a Ministry who do not represent the majority of the Chamber, and re present no part of the nation. In deciding on having a Ministry from the minority, have distin guished talents been selected? F ar f rom i t; what ever, it possessed obscure and unskilful has been 'carefully chosen. M. de la Bourdonnaye has been nothing for two or three Sessions, and we only think of him in conjunction with the cate gories of 1815. M. de Montbel has done worse than M. de la Bourdonnaye in the last two Sessions—he has spoken several times. If the Government wishes to connect itself with the trifiii T counter-revolutionary movement which was visible in the Chamber of Peers, it ought at .cast to connect itself with those who made a figure on that occasion, such as MM. de Ville franche, de Rouge, &c. &c. But it has sent, it has chosen M. de Chabrol, who was coy. In thus braving the opinion of the Chambers and the national voice, perhaps it had for its object to satisfy those masters of different interests which collect in groups beyond the Chamber ? Not at all. Will the Magistracy, for example, demand M. Courvoisier for their Chief? Have they not in their ranks persons on whom this high dignity would have fallen more conveniently and gracefully ? Have not the teaching classes a right to demand something superior to M. Montbel ? Is it supposed that the army desire General Bourmont ? Take care not to have stash a thought. That brave and loyal army suf fered with some impatience the Ministry of M. de Clermont Tonnere ; and it was never sup posed that such a successor would be allowed to follow. The army will, like all France, feel this unexpected blow. What then is in view ? on what did they rely on nominating a Ministry in opposition to the Nation, to the Chambers, to the great bodies of the State, to all the interests who fight under a common flag? This is neither false policy nor unskilful combinations ; but, as we have already said, it is folly. Is it not natural, in seeing a Ministry rejected by all the strength of the nation, to believe that it is disposed to leave the legal path and try measures of violence ? But for this pu►pose something must be relied on for support. A General who has saved the country has the soldiers on his side, and all that part of the po pulation who are seduced by the glare of glory. In this case where is the victory—where are the prejudices ? There is nothing but an uneasy nation—a country overwhelmed with taxation, with a ruined commerce, a paralysed industry, a suffering agriculture, and tax-payers unable to meet the public demands. By a Parliament in fluence, by an active solicitude, by a benevolent moderation, the Government ought to make it self felt in a country so suffering, particularly when the people, calm and resigned to its suffer ings, only require employment and a market to have the means of supporting their intolerable burdens. In place of this they receive the Jesuits, the Categories, and Coups d Etat. Perhaps M. de Polignac means to copy what is passing in England—that he means to change men without changing measures—that he will follow Whig principles in employing the Tories' pure presumption. In England there is no faction which desires to destroy the Constitution for the behoof of absolute power—there is not a Priestly party hungry for gold, for power, and for vengeance. M. de Polignac is the in strument of this faction—by it he is placed in power—he will submit to its yoke even though be has not beforehand laid it on his neck. The late MiniStry was certainly feeble, timid, and even too little rational for its own interest. We are not, however, surprised that no one of its Members could co-exist with the present Ca binet. Something has been said of the delay of M. Roy. It appears, however, that at the deci sive moment the refusal of this Honourable Peer was very firm. He declared that the new system, and the composition of the new Ministry, ap peared to him impolitic and dangerous, and that nothing would make him consent to unite him self to it. There is, therefore, an entire rupture between the past and the present. We have launched on a new sea with M. de Polignac for our pilot, and M. (le Bourmont for our general, when many foreseeing men have predicted long ago what other honest and well meaning would not believe, is to be tried with more rashness and less capacity than when M. de Villele tried it.— The re-action will not be immediate ; it will not begin to-day or to-morrow. The first words will be soft—the laws will at first be respected, and men unharmed ; and, perhaps, the Government will be so conducted till the Chambers meet.— But the promise is rash, and the design impos sible. By the Ordinance of yesterday, all those insiiiiiitents;:iifirgi: 7 ary power which R. de Mar tignac, so imprudently preserved, tempering them a little, will return to their violent courses, and defiance and hostility will again begin be tween the people and the Administration. On the other hand; - what will M. de Polignac and his colleagues do except increase the num ber of their adherents, calling around them a reinforiemenrtifiXongregationists, as f ormerly _ th e Leaguers "Ted, recruits "of lansquenets. They will n unskilful timidity of tP, f9s the late Ministry ; they will place in every office men they can rely on ; that is to say, ready to violate the laws to manufacture the electoral lists, and prepare for an election either by fraud or violence. If the good sense of the public— if the integrity of the Judges—make shipwreck of their manoeuvres, then we shall have coups d'etat excused on the score of necessity. In the meantime what will become of public credit, of trade, and of our foreign policy ? It is of little consequence ; we have M. de Polig nac for our Minister ; and when we seek for the cause of his elevation, we see nothing but a fo reign intrigue which will throw us out of our proper alliances, and drag us along in the wake of England. Will it be said that M. de Polig nac is Minister here, as Wellington is in Eng land ; that it is in both countries a Tory organiza tion—an appeal of the Crown to its most faithful servants, to execute, by their means, the most li beral measures? A pleasant parallel—Wellington is sometimes in England. He is the most import ant man, and his is the most celebrated name in the country. And what is M. de Polignac ? A courtier without talents and without real power. 'Wellington, with or against his will, from calculation or policy, was obliged to eman cipate Ireland ; he has done an immense thing for public liberty. What can M. de Polignac do ? Re-establish the Censorship, destroy the electoral guarantees, and change the law of Elec tions. What else can he do ? Let us cast aside this ridiculous parallel. We have not a Tory, hut a Jacobite Ministry. We have not a Wel lington in the Administration ; but, freedmen, the followers of Wellington—men who went over to him in the field of battle, and who will not be able to defend against Council the dignity of the throne and the country. If, however, England and Austria have de sired to receive themselves the assistance of a submissive French Cabinet, will not this servility of our policy drag us into an immense war ? Will Wellington say to the Emperor Nicholas, that strong in the alliance of MM. de Polignac and Boutmont, he forbids him to pass the Bal kan ? And is France, instead of being a neu tral and predominant power, to become a subal tern auxiliary of England, and spend her blood and treasure for a Ministry the most anti-national ever yet seen in France ? To make war, a Mi nistry must belong to the age—it must be po pular—it must rally around all that is noble, energetic, and wealthy, and it must inspire con fidence ; will the new Administration effect these things ? By the public mistrust it is condemned to be either impotent or arbitrary. It lowers public credit by its mere existence ; it threatens liberty, and excites dread ; it announces a con test between power and the interest of the people.. The best thing it could do would be to paralyse France ; but can it do this with a Chamber of Deputies, and the public voice to kindle enthu siasm ? The Liberty of the Press belongs to France : the elections are under the guardian ship of the Tribunals ; that the Ministry delays or hastens its attack on these liberties is of no consequence ; it requires that they should be destroyed ; it requires every thing which France dreads—the Censorship, arbitrary power, and even it requires M. de Villele. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Messager des Chambres of Tuesday.) PARIS, Auo. 10.—The 3 per Cents. have ex perienced to-day a further decline of If. 10c. Messrs. Bertin Devaux, Hely d'Oissel, Alexandre de Laborde, and Villemaine, Councillors of State tinder the late Ministry, have given in their resig nation. The Moniteur of to-day, which was impatiently expected, contains no act of the new Ministry. In the state of things, which is still only nominal, opinion with its sudden impressions has only itself to guide it. All that it feels, all that it supposes, all that it fears, has alone a real existence in the presence of an Administration which was unex pected, and is still silent. AUG. 11.—The Courier of Peace and War of Nuremburg of the .sth of August, announces from the frontiers of Wallachia of the 17th of July, that immediately after the surrender of Silistria some divisions of cavalry, 2,500 volunteers, and several thousand pioneers, were sent to the Balkan to pick up the Turkish stragglers, and put all the roads and defiles in good condition. The reserve coming from Tulezyn, to the number of 48,000 men, is to pass the Pruth in four columns on the 13th and 17th of July ; and on the 10th and 24th of August, 12,000 men will go to Giurdzevo, and the remainder by way of Kalarasch, against Shumla and the Balkan. Immense supplies of pro visions are expected from the interior of Russia. Letters from Varna say, that General Roth has received a reinforcement of 20,000 men from Odessa. Constantinople continues to receive large sup plies of corn. It is asserted that the French and English Ambassadors are ordered in no case to leave the Sultan ; even should he go to Iconium, they are to attend him. They are, however, many things that must happen before he will have to go to the Asiatic side of the Bosphorus. Bad news comes in quick succession. Rudschuck is said to be invested, and Shumla attacked ; the Sultan, in his camp at Terapia, dares not send away the troops for fear of the Russians at Sizeboli. This unex pected division has confounded all his plans. It seems certain, however, that 30,000 men from Bosnia and Albania have arrived on the Danube.

On Friday last Mr. WALLACK took his benefit, and the attempt was renewed to drive Mrs. WEST from the stage. At the beginning of the fifth act of The Stranger, scarcely had she appeared, when she was assailed with the loud hissing of seven er eight individuals spread through the pit. The trembling actress sought refuge behind the wings of the scenery, and the curtain was dropped. Animated debates arose between the riotous conspirators and the re spectable people, who were astonished to witness an hostility so spitefully malignant. A young man, who ' was not hissing himself, but who was known to be the leader of the cabal, was ordered by the police to withdraw. The Stranger was finished without much further disturbance ; but the mal contents had reserved their strength for the following piece, which was Douglas. Mrs. WEST was again violently hissed, and again the performance was interrupted. Some young men in the orchestra answered the appeal made by Mr. ABBOTT to French gallantry and generosity, by get ting over into the pit and ignominiously expelling the disturbers.--There was no more hissing, but instead of it Mrs. WEST was greatly applauded as Lady Randolph. WALLACK played Young Douglas with energy and ability. The Journal des Debals remarks, that " this tragedy, which is said to be founded on an old Scotch ballad, appears only to be a spiritless imitation of the Eresphontes of EURI PIDEs, and of the Merope of MAFFEI and VOL.. TAIRE ; there are several passages evidently bor rowed from these three tragedies." LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 14, 1829. Due. We received this morning, by Express, the Paris Papers of Wednesday, and a Second Edition of the illessager des Chambres, with the prices of the Funds. Up to the last moment, it was expected that the new Ministry would publish some declaration of the course intended to be pursued with respect to its Foreign relations ; but not one word ap peared in the Moniteur of Wednesday, nor was any act of the New Administration an- flounced. The Gazette de France says, " It is reported that M. RAVEZ has been raised to the Peerage," but if such had taken place it would have been notified i❑ the Monitcur. The Constitutionnel says, " It is reported that M. de BoululoNl' has resigned the post of Minister at War," but as these Papers all speak their wishes rather than their belief, such reports are unworthy of credit, until officially confirmed. The other Paris Papers do not contain any thing important. The Courrier Francais affects to have some diplomatic disclosures, touching a triple alliance between England, France, and Austria, the object of which is to curb the ambi tion of Russia. England is to send her dis posable naval force to destroy the Russian fleet, and naval depots in the Black Sea ; France is to send 30,000 men to Constantinople or its vicinity ; while Austria is to march an army to the fron. tiers of (where does the reader think ?) not Turkey but France ! to overawe the people while the French army is in Turkey ! ! Really this is a diplomatic disclosure with a vengeance. Would it not have been more effectual to send an Aus trian army into Wallachia and Servia, for the purpose of cutting off the supplies and retreat of the Russians, than to the frontiers of France, where it would only rouse the vengeance of the people, and precipitate the danger it was intended to avert ? But it is idle to reason upon such absurd reports. The following is interesting : (From the Message,. des Cham — bres-2d Edition.) PARIS, AUG. 12, AT NOON.-Letters from Warsaw of the 12th of July, say that the Polish Diet is to open in the month of October, and that the Emperor will come from St. Petersburgh to open it in person ; that some other Sovereigns will be there at the same time, and that there will be a Congress. Great efforts are making in the interior of the Russian empire. Very considerable rein forcements are sent to the army. General Witt is gone to the military colonies to exercise the troops which are fit for service. They amount to 60,000 men. The Journal of Odessa of July 22, says, "The news of - the total defeat of the Grand Vizier's army, as we learn by arrival of the English brig Helen, from Constantinople, lad spread consternation in the Turkish capital. It was ttported that the Ottoman army had lost 35,000 men, .with all their camp and artillery."—Augsburg Gazette. Letters from Orsowa announce that one of the towers :of the citadel of Widdin had been very much damaged by the explosion of the powder magazine, which seems to have been set on fire by design. Many lives were lost ; it is feared that the attempt may be repeated. The Pacha, who greatly distrusts the regular troops, wishes to send theM all out of the town, and has requested the Pacha of Belgrade to send him some militia, which he immediately did. The news from the Turkish army is by no means sa tisfactory, and every body foresees that the Porte will be obliged to ask for peace, after having exhausted all its means of resistance. The levy en masse has produced only 30,000 men in the course of a month. Meantime the Russian army is marching towards Constantinople, the for tifications of which are by no means sufficient for the de fence of so litrge a city. . _ FRENCH FuNns.---PAars, AUG. 12.-Five per Cents. 109 f. 20c. 20c. 25c. 109 f. 20c. 10c. ; Three per Cents., 79f. 50c. 70c. 65c. 70c.

Advices from the frontiers of Italy to the 29th July state, that a treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, had been concluded between Sardinia and a great power (Austria) for guaranteeing the integrity of the Sardinian territory against inva sion. The Piedmontese cavalry had been re mounted on 3,000 horses brought from the north of Germany. We have Cape Papers to the 7th June. A Literary Society had been formed at Cape Town with the sanction of the Governor. Man die tures were selling at a very disadvantageous rate in Cape Town. All accounts received at Vienna from Con stantinople preclude every hope of peace be tween the Turks and Russians. The SULTAN will not make" the least concession, and even ap pears more obstinate than ever. With respect to the protocol of the 22d March, he says that it is inconsistent with his honour, dignity, and the interests of his Empire. The same spirit he manifests with regard to the Treaty of the 6th July, declaring that he will only grant to his revolted Greek subjects an armistice and some privileges as before promised. This is all very fine, but the SULTAN will soon find that he must lower his tone if he wishes to preserve his station. The opening of the Post-office will not take place, it is said, till the beginning of October. It is certainly far better to wait till every thing is fully prepared than to precipitate a matter of such general importance. In the meantime the various arrangements are carrying on with alacrity. The new General Post Receiving House in Vere street, Oxford -street, and that at Charing-cross, are fitting up with all despatch. In order to expedite the business at the General Post Office, the letters at these receiving houses will be sorted as they come in, which will enable the General Office to extend the period of receiving letters up to a quarter to seven o'clOck. We do not see why it might not be seven o'clock, as it will only take five minutes to go from Charing-cross, and ten minutes from Vere-street, to the General:Post office_ But we must wait till the new plan has had a fair trial : subsequent improvements can easily be adopted. Many improvements would have been carried into effect long ago, but for the fear of " innovation," and an overdue regard for the interests of the revenue. The " total amount" on Quarter-day was every thing—and absorbed all other considerations. But the new and " happy" change will facilitate business and also swell the revenue. By advices from the Mauritius, we learn that the following Government Order had been pro mulgated :—" His Excellency the Governor in Council having taken into consideration that the dues hitherto collected on some of the smaller articles of consumption at Port Louis Bazaar, pressed too heavily on the poorer classes, and on those who expose such articles for sale, and his Excellency wishing to encourage the industrious part of the community by rendering . the market supplies:as abundant as possible, has been pleased to order those dues to be discontinued, and it is therefore ordered that in future all contributions or dues on the following articles shall cease to be levied, viz. —fowls, live pigs, cakes, oysters, salt provisions, shrimps, snuff and tobacco." Another vacancy has occurred on the Judi cial Bench, by the death of Mr. CHARLES WARREN, Chief Justice of Chester, who de parted this life, at his house in Bedford-square, on Wednesday afternoon, in the 66th year of his age. The Commissioners on the Common Law have recommended in their report to abolish the Welch Judgeships altogether, and the present opportunity seems a very fair one to begin with, should Government really intend to carry the recommendations of the Commission ers into effect. Unnecessary patronage only serves to perpetuate error. A wise Government will only wish to maintain such offices as are for the benefit of the public ; and if the Chief Justice ship and other Judicial offices in Wales can be dispensed with, they certainly ought. In the Police Report from the Mansion- house, inserted in our columns of to-day, our readers will find an interesting trait of Irish cha racter, developed in the person of a poor woman who came to thank the LORD MAYOR —which s he did in a most graceful and expressive manner—for the assistance he had afforded her in the recovery of a favourite daughter. This trait of gratitude we believe to be peculiarly cha racteristic of the native Irish, whose virtues, not withstanding the centuries of misrule under which they have laboured, infinitely outweigh their vices. What might not be made of a nation, whose leading features are of so high and noble a cast ? How might not Ireland be ex• alted in the scale both of intellect and civilization, were but fair play given to her by the sister coun try, and were she but allowed to develope her energies, unfettered by the despotism of party spirit ? But happier (lays are, we trust, in - store for her ; already the differenc es of creed—those watch-words from time immemorial of discon tent and tyranny—have been swept away, and time only is now wanting to soften the asperity that party spirit, excited t o an a l most ungovern able excess by the late glorious Relief Bill, has elicited. When this is effected, the case of the poor Limerick widow will no longer be a sub ject worthy of comment, from its impressive singularity. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE o' CLocr. Private letters received from Constantinople at Paris, state that the Reis Effendi, after having re ceived the official communication of the Protocol of the 22d March, from the French and English Am bassadors, signified to them that the only basis on which the Porte would treat was the re-occupation by the Turks of the places in the Morea, and the return of the Pacha of Tripolitza, as well as the resti tution of Turkish property in the Morea before the insurrection.

The report is that the three Powers, France, England, and Austria, are going to sign a Treaty, offensive and defensive, against Russia, to prevent her further progress in the East; but this is only report, and perhaps for Stock-jobbing purposes. They write from Paris that General Bourmont has not as yet taken the oath. Also, that several Generals have already offered their resignation. One of the new Ministers has declared that it will not be possible to govern while the liberty of the press continues. - We understand that orders went off yesterday to Paris to make extensive purchases in the French Ren tes. Calcutta Papers have been received to the 25th March, three days later than the last accounts, but they do not bring any information of importance. A gentleman has arrived in town from the Ha vannah, which he left on the 2d July : he states that at the above period the troops had not em barked, and even the names of the regiments, who were to form the expedition, were not known. There were at the Havannab only 6000 troops of the line ; the rest were dispersed in different parts of the island ; he did not suppose that more than 2,000, or 2,500 men would embark, and with these few troops it was the general opinion that the expedition would not succeed. The Foreign market continues inactive, without a feature worth observation, except that Russian Stock has also lowered one per cent, in consequence of the reported alliance against Russia.
