leave carefully spared the mo:;qu es. The Turks 1 plunder all the inhabitants Who are unable to escape, while we are their defenders and pro tectors. Indeed, on the day after our arrival, the people of the town were seen returning.on all sides from the woods and the mountains with their loaded carts to their houses. Were it pos sible always to pursue the enemy, this cruelty might be partially prevented. That, however, circumstances do not on all occasions permit. Carnabat is also ruined ; and when our Cossacks approached the town, 500 of the inhabitants came out to meet them, and hailed them as their deliverers. At all events, it is to be hoped,. that such of the inhabitants as are Still dispersed, will return to their homes, and that the harvest, which has been begun, will be completely got - in by them, and a sufficient supply for our winter quarters thereby provided. " A report from Lieutenant-General Kras soffsky, dated the 14th (26th), informs me that the enemy's outposts have been drawn back to wards Shumla, and established along the little river Bulanyk. That General intends to ap proach the place with his vhole corps, in order, if possible, to induce the enemy to leave it. According to the last reports from Adju tant-General Kisseleff, the troops near Shursha and Widdin were quite inactive. As Adjutant- General Baron Geismar has permitted the in habitants of Ream-a to return to their homes, they have not only been induced to remain, but the Turks within a virch of more than fifty worsts arc conthmally applying for, or sending Bulgarians to mi . nest, Russian protection." CHINA. (Vrom the Boston Commercial Gazette, Aug. 1.) The Editors of the New York Journal of commerce have received a file of the Canton Register to the 16th of -March, from which they have made copious extracts. We subjoin a few of them :--• " SMALL-PDX.---The small-pox was raging in Canton, and had occasioned an unprecedent ed mortality among the naives. Several thou samis had fallen victims to the distemper ; and in the case of adults, not one third had survived the attack. The crews of foreign ships had also suffered to a considerahle extent ; many deaths had occurred, but timely resort to vaccination had done moth to mitigate the calamity. In many inswoces the disease had assumed the con fluent .4tiap, and was very severe. a' CANTON MARKET, IVIARCri 16.—A1l ihe Indiamen have taken their departure, and the American shipping is daily disappearing. Patna and Benares opium has been on the de cline, since the impression that the new opinm is very near at hand. We have flattering ae• counts of the trade existing between this and the Australian Settlements, and which we have every expectation will rapidly extend. The eon suption of tea now amounts, we are told, to 25 efiests per day. it is reported that some fo rests of sandal wood have lately been discovered. Teas have declined here very materially in price, since they have been left with little demand ; and nankins, from the same cause, have been much reduced. The proprietors of raw silk have been more obstinate in their pretensions. Silk piece goods that are already fabricated are vory low. Some Treasury bills on London have teen uegociated at 3s. 11d. per dollar. In ge neral our trade is very dull. The consumption of Turkey opium in the last year is estimated at about 1,600 chests, being an increase upon pre vious importations: " BRITISH MUSEUM IN CHINA. —A mu seum under this title is about to be established at Macao, to be supported by subscriptions of the British community, but open to gentlemen of every nation to become honorary and corres ponding members by ballot. Among the cu riosities already received was a very liberal col lection from an American gentleman." STEAM NAVIGATION BY HIGH PRESSURE. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Few, if any, attempts to introduce high pres sure steam-engines on board boats have as yet bee❑ attended with satisfactory results. It has enerally proved that such engines, however well they may work upon land, do not, when afloat, sufficiently maintain their steam power; and, be sides this, they have been thought greatly to in crease the danger of explosion, and the grunting sort of noise attending the escape of the steam at every stroke has been held to be intolerable. In several trials, however, made within the last few days with a pair of fifteen-horse power high pres-ure engines, of an improved construc tion, all these objections seem to be entirely re moved ; and the success upon the whole seems so complete, as to promise a certainty of the greatest advantages to the art of propelling by steani. These engines have been made for a French order, by Messrs. Busk and Co., of Albany. street, Regent's-park, and have been merely placed in a common coal lighter here, for the purpose of trying the action of their different pmts previous to shipment. The cylinders are of about thirteen inches diameter, with a thirty-inch stroke, and arc made to vibrate, and act immediately upon the cranks of the paddle shaft, without either beam or inter mediate rod. With their frames they occupy a space of about seven feet by six. • They have a tubular boiler ; the tubes are about one inch and a half in diameter, and are so placed, that in the event of the smallest obstruction occurring in any of them, by removinc , a brass cap at the end of each, they can be cleaned r immediately. The boiler is about twelve feet long, ten wide, and about one foot in depth or thickness ; and the engines and boiler together, including the charge of water in the latter, do not exceed about ten tons in weight. The lighter is a vessel by its formation pecu liarly unfavourable to speed, ,but she made with a five-foot paddle upwards of nine miles an hour going with the tide, and upwards-of-five going against the same, or an average of seven miles an hour. The trials were made chiefly between Green wich and Woolwich, with a fuPy maintained abundance of steam during the whole time. A more favourable form of boat would doubt less have made a very great difference in the rate of going through the water, probably nearly one-half. The noise of the escape of the steam is effec tually prevented by the steam being passed from the cylinders int o a tubular condenser, where it is reduced to the state of water again, and whence it is then returned into the boiler as ; and consequently very pure water. Danger . from explosion is entirely obviated from the small size cf the tubes used in the boiler. The quantity of steam or Water used in any one is so small, that in the event of an ACC', dent no mischief could take place, as Ls been repeatedly proved by cutting one of the tubes through with a chisel, when the boiler has been at its highest pressure. Some experiments were made in towing a bal last lighter, drawing about. four feet six inches of water, and having 81 tons of ballast on board, being hung on, it appeared that the speed of the engine was not reduced more than about two strokes per minute,- or that of the steam lighter more than three quarters of a mile an hour. This result should indicate something pecu liarly faVourable in the use of high pressure en gines for towing ; and we understand that seve ral boats are about to be fitted up, with engines of the above class, for towing lighters and other craft, both above and below bridge, and with a - peculiar paddle, which projects very little beyond the line of the boat's side, acts wholly under water, and is very readily removed or exchanged, and appears to have extraordinary effect in tow. ing.—Morning FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (Fro:n the Journal des Debuts.) . The Russians advanced at full gallop to Aidos and Bourgas. Fresh and brilliant successes have sig nalised their very first steps in the plains of Adria nople, and their last victory at Kirk-Kilissa opens to them the road to the Turkish capital without stt iking a blow. Thus General Diebitsch will pro bably receive the intelligence of the Polignuc Mi nistry at Constantinople. Of all the delusions thus destroyed, and amongst all combinations thus counteracted, what will be the probable upshot? After having thus for two years lulled England to sleep in the vain hope of stopping the giant of the North, after haring smothered the unpopularity of the Russian victories by a species of systematical reverie on the moral impossibility of the conquest and downfall of tile Turkish Empire, what answer will the English Ministry give to its ac cusers ? Who will show them the Russian standard waving from the minarets of Constantinople ? What a fine opportunity for the old Tories, still shudder ing on account of the Catholic Emancipation, to double their virulence and fury against the wretched effects of all these efforts and negociations ? What an awaking to the patty which pushed its gra titude for the liberation of Ireland as far as to shut its eyes to foreign politics, upon which not a single bright.day has shone since the Duke of Wel lington bad the direction of affairs. Will they still forget the cannon-shot fired off Terceirathe scaf folds of Lisbon and the struggling of British sub jects against the oppres.ion of the usurper of the Brag,anza Crown ? All these matters present them selves now to the mind envenomed by eighteen months of culpable indulgence. The Duke of Wel lington is asked What England has become in his hands ?—Will he dare—will he be able to answer to the Parliament, that he has brought about the Polignac Administration ? A beautiful, an ad mirable compensation for the capture of .Constanti nople. If the Dake has nothing better to allege to shut the mouths of his enemies, there are but two things which he can do. When an English Minister fails in the execution of a plan loudly announced, perseveringly pursued —when events stronger than his combinations, belie the promises he has made to the country, he retires, and leaves to rivals more fortunate than himself the care of accomplishing or changing the political sys tem, .under tbe weight of which he hiniself suc cumbed. Will the Duke follow this system be queathed to him 14 a number of his predecessors ? Will he abandon the helm during the storm, after so many useless efforts to silence its rage ? Were the Duke but an ordinary Minister, the mere principal adviser of the Crown thrust into power by the regular working of representative in stitutions, we should "not hesitate to affirm that under existitqt; circumstances the honour of his re tircment had struck. But with the stupendous recollections interwoven with his past career, with that life connected with all the great events of the world for the last 20 years, and the thrones raised and pulled down in his presence; with tliat singu lar good fortune which ever reserved to him the honours of success, when even the labours of the struggle were entailed upon others ; both as a Minister and as a soldier, the Duke of Wellington cannot be comprised and measured like a common man. Lord Goderich would retire, but Wellington will remain. But will it be for the purpose of dragging along before Parliament in the unhappy way where he is forgiven the present, because the future is entrusted to him ? Will it be to recommence the good or b;:d justification of a conduct which events have j u(lged ? Whilst the Duke of Wellington strategitically demonstrated that the Balkan was an ihsurmount able barrier, and that the Euphrates would stop an army, General Paske„•itch will have thanked God at Constantinople, with General Diebitach, for the prodigious success of the Emperor's arms; and the empire of the Crescent will have strewed both Europe and Asia with its ruins. Words will no longer suffice now for the future Ministerial existence of the Duke. Deeds are re quisite for this. England requires a phantom of par ticipation in the events which formed and devolved themselves, and were accomplished in spite of her. She must hoist the war flag on board of her ships; and, perhaps, it is already displayed in the Black Sea, at the very moment we are tracing these lines. It will remain to be seen whether the burning of a squadron, and of some dock-yards, will stop the projects of Russia ; and, above all things, whether, before resorting to this last extremity, the first sum monses do not find the Emperor Nicholas absolved from his promises of moderation by eighteen months of wishes against his success, and by one year of of against his legitimate claims. Has Russia on her part neglected the means of replying to an appeal of England to Europe, against the developement of her power ? Does she find all these Cabinets stirring to whom she might be bound by promises ? At Vienna, where there is no occasion for upset setting a Ministry to give allies to Mahmoud, they will perhaps rouse themselves from that lethargy which possesses a great Minister, as some people say, when the Russians raised the siege of Silistria in dis order. Some troops may be assembled at the fron tiers of Servia; but ever with an uneasy eye fixed on Daly ; and whilst the Milanese causes nervous ness, their operations on the Danube will be but feeble. _ Prussia is so much identified with Russia; recent promises have so strongly tightened the bonds of a dose alliance, that one single gesture from St. Pe tersburgh to Berlin will act as an immense counter poise upon Austria. Germany has ceased to receive the directions from Vienna with its former humility. There are some young Kings there who are not exactly over fond of M. de Metternich. No; it must be allowed the political horizon was never more pregnant with tempests. Every thing presages a long succession of events, through which Europe will finish by being re-constituted upon a different basis. Such is the state to which the Monitcur of the 9th of August has reduced it. What with M. de Bourmont being Minister of War, M. de la Bourdonnaye of the Home Depart ment, and M. do Polignac, of Foreign Affairs, France expects the first gun to be fired, which is to set the world in flames. We have not, at present, the courage to speak of the character which the fu ture reserves for France. The gratd affair of the new Ministry was about to be completed. Since it came into conflict with the youthful reputation of Monsieur de Rign v , divers names were put in motion. Some of them honourable ones ; others, like the Ministry, who had nothing to lose. M. de Vitrolles had been thought of. A deep hatred against Constitu tional Institutions, good previous conduct, some - ialcnt, and, it is said, - sonic eloquence, tt•ere excellent requisites for service, in order to take a seat alongside of M. de la Bourdonnaye ; but M. de Alludes was left at Florence. How dare they to increase the unpopularity of this Ministry, by a choice so hostile to liberty ? How to affront a new explosion of discontent ? They have thought of particular men, of seamen-.--they have been selec•t ed, and then parted with. Who knows whom they will not refuse likewise ? Finally, the ilioniteur has spoken out this morning, and the country was not a little astonished to find that the office of its Minister of Marine was filled by Baron de Haussez. Monsieur de Vitrolles at least belonged to the party of the Ministry—he was of the same opinion, and will, and formed an additional mediocrity. France knows what to be at with respect to him, and was quite prepared to receive him. But M. de Haussez ! Who -is he ? An individual that is a complete cipher, a Prefect under M. de Cazes, a Prt•fee; under M. de Villele, a Prefect under M. de iMartig. nac, a Prefect under M. de la Bourdonnayc. M. de Haussez is a fixture, an immovable Member of the centre, a pure Ministerialist these 12 years—speak ing little—never voting quite aloud—a man keeping his place, and never making any noise in it; such is his political illustration. The Ministry, in taking M. de Haussez for their colleague, in descending to such an insignificant, mean, and poor a choice, shows the extent of their weakness, and proves that, with all its anxiety to exist, at any price, it cannot succeed in the attempt. M. de Haussez, seventh in a Ministry of 1815, is, at any rate, a sinaular symptom of impotence or of fear; and this shows sufficiently that before a strong and united nation—before a Constitutional Chamber —before a long and inexorable unpopularity—the boldest must want courage, even during the first intoxication of power; even at the debut of a Mi nistry they had been dreaming on these 15 years. The Duke de Chartres, Colonel of the First Re giment of Hussars, accompanied by M. Baudrand, his Aide-de-Camp, sets out on Tuesday for the camp at Luneville, where his Royal Highness will perform the great cavalry manoeuvres. The young Prince will have, every day, a table of twelve covers, where, no doubt, the officers of all the regiments forming the camp of Luneville will be invited. Letters from Toulon of the 18th of August say — The Scipio ship of the line, which arrived from Navarin three days ago, sailed yesterday for Mar seilles, where she will land three hundred troops. After coming out of quarantine, this ship will be paid off and dismantled. The Conquerant ship of the line had received orders to sail for Brest, where she was to be paid off and laid up ; Lut fresh orders continued her in com mission, and`she is to sail for the Levant at the first signal. The son of the Russian Admiral Hey den, who commands La Lyonne (the Lioness) fri gate, arrived three days ago in the roads on Toulon. He has been receive:l with much distinction by the authorities, though be holds only the rank of a Lieutenant de Vaisseau. _ _ _ The armed bombs had received orders to proceed o Algiers. This day fresh orders arrived to stop heir departure. - - - - - The Clorinde frigate, which was to be paid off here, will perform that operation at Brest, whither she will carry the undischarged seamen of the Pans Syrenc frigates, who are to be paid 'off here when coming out of quarantine. The eybille and Circe frigates sail to-day or to morrow, the former for the Levant, and the latter for Algiers. The _Doily schooner, commanded by M. Florence de Molitard, Lieutenant de Vaisseau; arrived last night in Toulon roads from Nayarit). . . (From the Constitutionnel of Tuesday.) • JAssY, AUG. 6.----The more rapid the progress of General Diebitsch becomes, the more the fresh troops destined to reinforce the different corps of the army in the field, seem to accelerate their move ments. All Moldavia is covered %vial them. Those troops, consistng moitly of infantry, take only such re , t as is absolutely necessary, and advance towards !he Danube. Many of them join the corps of ob ser%ation kept before Sliumla, to keep the Grand Vizier in check, who might be tempted to make sallies, in order to maliCCUvre on the Russian flank, and to endanger their operations. It is true the Grand Vizier's corps has much diminished since the battle he has lost. But he still maintains his position, which is so much the stronger as he can daily receive reinforcements of fresh troops through the southern and western passes which it is impos sible for the Russians to shut up against him. An abundant harvest has destroyed every appre hen,ion of a famine, and the peasants begin to be in good pirits, seeing that their subsistence is secured. For this they are indebted to the Russian authori ties, who compelled them some time ago to culti vate their fields against their inclinations. The abundant summer showers have done the rest. The state of salubrity causes no serious uneasiness eithci; and if the contagions are represented as very dan gerous to strangers, there are, no doubt, good rea sons for doing this, were it only for having pretence to assemble troops at the frontiers tinder the dis guise of a sanitary cordon. The letters from Odessa are full of complaints re speceing the stagnation of trade, which b ecomes, from day to day, more intolerable. The maga zines are overflowing with productions from the ad joining provinces, that find no market. The mar kets are much embarrassed, and the farmers still more so. On the other hand, as Odessa is the prin cipal point from whence the Russian armi es derive their supplies, the shipping of the place has much increased. The number of ships employe d in the conveyance of provisions is truly astoui3hing, and increases daily ; and, what is most remarkable is, that the Russians, dreading the moment when they might cease to be masters of the Black Sea, have constructed their ships in such a manner that they can still run along the coast and supply their armies in Turkey, without apprehension of large ships keep ing the open sea. By the preparations made at Odessa at the Go vernment Palace, it would appear that the Etnpe ror Nicholas intends going there at the end o f the summer. (From the Allgemeine Zeitung of Aug. 21.) BUCHAREST, AUG. 4.—A courier arrived here yesterday from the army. Since that time a report is in circulation that the Sultan has fled into A sia upon the intelligence of the arrival of the Russians before Adrianople, because the feeling of the capital was becoming hourly more critical and dangerous. • Great hopes of peace are entertained ever since the arrival of this courier. It is thought that the Porte would accede to the conditions proposed by the Russian Government. A Te Demo was chaunted here on the 2d instant, on account of the capture of Aidos, Bourgas, and Messembria. MUNICH, AUG. B.—From M. Eynard we received the following extracts of letters from Greece, dated the 28th of May and 29th of June :—" Col.l-lei degger, who is obliged to recover his health, has obtained leave from the King, of Bavaria to leave Greece. Count Capo d'lstria is, at present, ac cused of being too much of a Frenchman ; but it is natural that the President should show his gratitude to a nation which sacrificed most for Greece. For the sake of the Greeks I should wish the English to take their turn in receiving the best treatment, for this would be a consequetwe and proof of their showing more sympathy for this unfortunate nation ; but up to the present moment the English agents have de played little friendliness whenever they came in contact ;rid, the Greeks. The English consul executes with harshness the orders sent him by his • Government ; very differently from French and Rus sian agents, who make every effort to benefit the Greeks and to give facilities to the President. The surrender of Mis.3olonglii, which proved a day of festivity to the Greeks as well as all the foreigners, seemed to cross the views of the English agents ,— Many persons believe these things proceed from individuals and not from the English Government. They say, we cannot believe that the gallant warrior who directs the Cabinet of St.James's has grown an enemy to Greece; but we have to complain of the conduct and manners of the agents ; but we never suspect the noble character of the Duke of Waing ron, that he deigns to sow dissensions among us. " Others maintain that the English are slyly en deavouring to it jure the French, and to overturn the President. I can candidly assure you that ap pearances warrant these charges; but I cannot be lieve that the English Government would approve such intrigues so unworthy of it. Being neither a Frenchman, a Russian, or Englishman, nor a Func tionary, I report matters plainly, just as I see and hear them, knowing that you love details." (From the Gazette de France.) The French Government has received intelligence from Constantinople up to the Bth of August. In the accounts received not one word is said of the great victory reported to have been gained by the Russians at the distance of 20 leagues from Con stantinople, vet the news of this victory is said to have reached Vienna on the 12th instant ; the battle must then have taken place, and the result mnst have been known in Constantinople, pre viously to the '7th instant, the date of the despatches received. The news of tbe,battle .of Kirk-Kilissa was conveyed to Munich by a Russian Minister, the Count Potemkin, who said that. he got it from Ta tischeff, the Russian Ambassador at Vienna. There can be little doubt now of its being an invention.— However, the accounts from Constantinople speak of the uneasiness that reigns in that capital, and the dread of the arrival of the Russians at Adrianople. The accounts likewise state that the old Janissaries who were at Erzeroum revolted on the approach of the Russians, and that without doubt the revolt facilitated the taking of the fortress. It is added that this is the worst feature in the late events; and the truth of this observation may be very well conceived, for should the ex• Janissaries in other parts of the empire follow the example of their brethren at Erzeroum, it may lead to the most fatal consequences. The Prus4an agent, Muffling, had arrived at Constantinople. General Guilleminot was unwell. The negociations with the Porte had taken a favourable turn, and the Ambassadors had hopes of succeeding in their mission ; but this, of course, could have no effect upon the war with Russia, that being quite a distinct queStion from that of the settlement of Greece. Much - Las been s►id sere within the last few days of the entrance of Ad- mind Malcolm into the Black Sea, but the accounts received 1)3 , the Government here state that the English Admiral was at Ipsara on the 9th inst.; it is added that he was then cruising to keep the crews of his vessels in good health. It is not true that the Ministry of Police is to be re-cstablished, and con fided to M. de Villele. GERMAN PAPERS. ST.

Honduras Papers have reached us to the 29th June. Lieutenant-Colon e l I\I'DONALD had arr ived in his Majesty's ship Victor, and been sworn in Superintendant over the Colony. The r eport of the death of Major-General CoDD, on his way to England, had reached Belize. The trucking system had terminated on the 30th of the preceding month, owing to the r ains having commenced, b ut not sufficient to the wood down. Th e bring quantity of wood was short of last year's cutting. It appears by the accounts from Central Ame rica that the Salvador troops had been ordered by their Government to withdraw within their own State, and that MoßAzArr had determined to r emain in the capital, where a plan was in pro gress to have him assassinated, and create a counter revolution ; he, h owever, h a d deter mined to put to death several of the leading men of the Guatemala party. Plunder was the order of the day, and the Chiefs did not possess sufficient determination to prevent it. There is little or no further intelligence of mo ment from the theatre of war. The reported battle at Kirk-kilissa, which was so confidently stated a few days since in the German Journals, turns out to be a fabrication. On the 7th inst., when the latest accounts were despatched from Constantinople, the Russian army was still at some distance from that capital, though fears were very generally entertained of their speedy approach. Doubtless by this time they are either in possession, or encamped close under the walls of the " city of the Faithful." The following are extracts from German Pa pers received this morning ; ODESSA, AUG. s.—According to accounts from Varna, of 18th (30th July), the sickness which pre vailed at that place in the month of June had greatly abated in violence. The authorities are now engaged in purifying the town. A great quan tity of effects belonging to the lazaretto are being sent thither from this place, for that purpose. We have observed before that we replied by farts and geographical data to articles in foreign Journals relating to the operations of our armies. Now we have a crowd of facts to support our observations. While foreign Journals are taking all possible pains : to throw doubts on the defeat .of the Grand Vizier on the 11th June, and its consequences, arid be- wilder themselves in dissertations to prove that the Turkish army *as again concentrated at Shumla,' and that the operations of the Russians were checked by the impossibility of taking the key of the Balkan, for the various names of which mountain they ransack history, in order to give it a formidable appearance, the Russian troops have answered these erudite investigations by passing the famous chain of mountains without troubling their heads about' the unconquerable key. The intrenchments on the Kamtchik, the artillery that defended them, the fortresses of Messembria, Achioli, Aidos, and Bourgas, are in our possession. We shall see what aid military geographers will now be able to invent, as well with respect to these events as to the un fortunate position of the Grand Vizier, who is posted at Shumla, while our army, with a fleet in the fine harbour of Bourgas, effected its junction in the rear, almost in the road from Shumla to Constantinople. More than CO transports, with provisions and am munition of all kinds for the supply of the army, are at this moment on the point of putting to sea. These are facts, these are geographical data, these are the answers to such diatribes. A few more such answers and there will be nothing to discuss. VIENNA, AUG. 17.—Metalliques, 99 5-16; Bank Shares, 1,133. CANEA, JULY 11.—The tranquillity which pre vails at this moment is a decisive proof of .the general lassitude. The Greek Government makes continual efforts to keep tip irritation,war,and massa cres, but the native population is remiss in seconding its view. The 100,000 cartridges sent last month, have been expended in feux de joie, though the orders of the President expressly directed that they should be employed in taking some military position from Mustapha Pacha. Mustapha Pacha now makes use of the leisure which the Greeks leave him, to establish•a very active police, and tb prepare the way for the complete return of order. He shews equal justice and rigour. No crime re mains unpunished, and the Greeks come with equal confidence to ask his protection or to make corm: plaints to him. The Lionize French schooner arrived at Scala on the Ist, in the evening, with M. Ant. Fometti, the French Consul at this place. Mustapha Pacha sent the next morning an cflicer of his household to com pliment hint, and a guard of honour of 100 horse men to escort him to the town. As soon as the Consul appeared in the maritime quarter, the French colours were . hoisted on the flag• staff of the Con sulate, and immediately saluted by the guns of the fortress. Mr. Capogrosso, the English Consul, had already repaired to his post some days before ; but as he lauded very early from his vessel, which was at anchor in the port of Canea, and had not a flag staff to hoist his colours, his installation took place without the ceremonies usual on such an occasion ; but his Excellency •Mustapha Pacha sent an officer to inform him, that as soon as he should have got his flag-staff, and hoist the colours of his Britannic Majesty, he should have great pleasure in paying it the same honours as had been shown to the French flag. We gave yesterday a letter from, our intelli gent Correspondent at Paris ; we have this morn ing received the following fro:n the same source : " PARIS, A UG. 26. , 4 In proportion as opportunities open to me of observing the place which is held by the new Ministry in public opinion, I am more and more impressed with the conviction that it cannot stand against the overwhelming tide which con tinues to set in against it. It is no doubt desi rable for France, as well as England, that a good u nderstanding should continue to subsist be tween the two countries ; and it was probably because the English Journals were so generally imbued with this idea, that they have lent their powerful aid with so much unanimity to sup port the Cabinet of M. Polignac. It cannot be forgotten, however, that the Prince, and his chief coadjutor, Labourdonnaye, are decidedly and irretrievably committed as ultra-royalists, and that by whatever stratagem they may have crept into power they must ever be opposed to the princi ples of constitutional freedom. Knowing, as I do, the great weight which is given in Paris to the opinions expressed by the leading journals of London, I have been daily looking for that change of sentiment at your side of the Chan nel, which for the last fortnight I have been convinced must take place of those panegyrics which have been so liberally bestowed on the new Administration, and I am rejoiced to ob serve from your paper of Saturday last, that you take such a decided lead in expressing the opinion that the present order of things cannot and ought not to last. o y u l o n cc occur.

Another Prefecture, that of the Rhine, has been given t o the Baron Loc n a — rd "e , a r person who, in the time of Napoleon, and under t the auspices of NI. Benoist, when Minister d the Interior, had contrived to raise himself from one of the lowest official situations in the Bureau of that Minister to the rank of Prefect. At the time of the Restoration he held tl►e Prefecture of Cantal, when he distinguished himself by the' arrest of the gallant but unfortunate Marshal Ney,—a circumstance which is said to have cow tributed to his subsequent stability in -office uti.: l der M. de Villele, as well as to his present ad vancement. A third appointment, which has just taken place,—that of M. Jordan to the Pre fecture of Ille and Vilainc,—is, I believe, the, most unpopular of the three. The new Prefect bears no affinity to Camille Jordan, his cele brated namesake. " All Paris is in a state of extreme agitation to-day, with the trial of the Journal des Debuts, for its attack on the new Ministry. The result will not be known until after the departure of the post, so that I shall not be. able to communicate it. From the judgMents which have already been pronounced in similar cases, it seems to be understood among the best-informed per' sons about the Palais de Justice, that send. tence of imprisonment for r. considerable period, besides a fine of more moderate amount, will certainly be awarded. The terrors of impend ing punishment have not, however, deterred the conductors of this able and spirited journal from doing that which they conceive to be their duty, although they cannot fail to be aware that the unremitting castigation which they have con tinued to inflict on the party in power, will cer tainly be urged against them in aggravation. All the talent of the bar seems to be engaged on the popular side, and under the protection of their professional privilege, they indulge them selves in a strain of invective which certainly proves that one channel, at least, is open to the free expression of popular opinions. Whatever be the amount of the punishment, an appeal will undoubtedly be taken for the purpose of affording fresh scope for agitation, which seems to be here quite as well understood, and as ' actively practised, as it was on a late memorable occasion in another country. The Constitu- tionnel of this morning illustrates the case of the Journal des Dehats by a sort of apologue, which is said to be founded on historical fact. A King of France was about to throw himself over a precipice during a mo tnentary aberration of intellect, when one of his most faithful servants having ventured to inter pose, restrained his master in the attempt and, so saved his life. Some time afterwards This generous action was represented by the minions of the Court as an attempt to curb the royal will, before uhich they said every thing should yield under the pains of treason, and this faithful servant was condemned to expiate. on the scaffold the rash service he had thus rendered to his Prinee: " M. Deval, the late French Consul at Algiers, has died suddenly of apoplexy. A few. weeks ago the death of this gentleman would have removed one of the obstacles to an amicable arrangement with the Dey, who refused to submit to the condition . insisted on by F ra nce, and which the Dey regarded as a degradation of again receiving M. Deval in his official capacity. There was besides a difference of some millions of francs between the sum claimed by the Dey, and that acknowledged to be due to him by the French Government. Now that the personal . obstacle is removed, will the Dey be disposed to make the death of M. Deval an apology . fer - yielding, or will France send another Consul to Algiers with some extra millions ? " At a banquet lately given at Puy by the Marquis Lafayette, one of toasts was France —let her strive to maintain what she possesses to obtain what she wants.' A sentiment which I believe to be very generally entertained by men of all ranks in this country. The Gazette, how ever, observes upon it, She hai liberty, she has licence ; what more does she want ? Revolution• " Mademoiselle Sontag is at present at Dieppe for the benefit of sea bathing. She returns to Paris at the end of the month to repeat her favourite performances in the Semiramide, the Donna di Lago, the Barbiere di Siviglia, She then leaves France for Berlin, where she is engaged as first singer in the Chapel Royal of the King of Prussia. Mr. Young, the tragedian, has just arrived in Paris. In another column we give an abstract from the Times, of the Reports lately presented to Parliament by Mr. TELFORD, touching the im provement of the Mail Road to Liverpool, and various suggestions for shortening the distance. In the judicious remarks of our Contemporary we perfectly agree, with the exception of that portion which refers to the saving of four miles, because the expellee would be 80,0001., while the time gained would " only be half an hour." And we will state our reasons. In the first place, as the communication between Liverpool anti London is among the most important, if not the most important in commercial mat ters of any town in the kingdom, we think that every minute which can be saved ought to be saved. Secondly, if it be really worth the while to save a space of four miles, 819 yards, at an expellee of 69,4501. 12s. 6d. it is surely as " prudent," since the saving of distance is every thing, to expend 80,0001. more to save a dis tance of four miles, 328 yards—the distance being nearly equal, and the additional outlay only about 10,000/. Thirdly, though economy he very desirable, we ask whether, if expense 1 5 to be incurred at all, the sum of 80,000/., for an advantage so immediate and so manifest, is to be gi edged, when the occasion is not for a tem porary purpose, but for all time ? The interest of 80,0001. is only 4,0001. at 5 per cent., and w ill any man contend that the sum of 4,000/. is to be put in competition with the permanent advan• tages derivable from so great an improvement ?
