Y'l' <tr FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENC PAPERS. (From the onstitutionnel.) The Monitettr of to-day contains the following article: There is no sort of calumny which the Journals have not heaped upon the Ministry. According to some it is upon corruption that it founds its hopes; it has from 24,000,000 to 30,000,000 to expend; it knows the price of consciences, and it has di rected an inquiry to be made into the fortune of each deputy. According to others, it calls for fo reign intervention; it is going to create 200 Depu ties by ordinance, and to leave their nomination in the hands of the departmental Councils-General.— If we were to bel!eve them, the Ministry dreams only of State blows, and premeditates nothing but the overthrow of the Charter: it will forcibly exact the impost, if the Chamber, exercising its right, should refuse the Budget; and from thence they argue the necessity of acting in concert, of creating ties, and of federating, in order to oppose legal re sistance to this plot. The intention is evident, and the public reason cannot be mistaken about it. The cry of alarm does not proceed from conviction ; these terrors are counterfeit, and those who propagate them know well, unless they have been deprived of common sense, that the Ministers could not even have conceived the idea of violating the charter and of substituting ordinances for the law. They know that the Mi nisters would in vain endeavour to do so, and that if they dared to manifest such a plan, the King would in an instant reduce them to impotence, by withdrawing from them the power which he only confided to them in his name and upon their re sponsibility. The reports, the fears, the defamations, with which the periodical press of France has been inundated, have alone in view agitation, by abun dantly sowing hatred, irritation, and disorder, over the whole surface of the country. It is a web—the first trial shows the plan, the end, and the means of it. REPLY. At last, after a silence of 40 days, the Ministry has made up its mind to speak. The ltioniteur, which hitherto has not been sullied by any apolo getical sentence relative to this direful administra tion, has this morning published an article, in which it is easily discovered that its anger is only restrained by its weakness. This recrimination against the press, or rather against the general opinion, of which the journals are the echo, is the forerunner of a re treat forced by publ:c alarm and indignation. Those men who pounced upon the budget the moment the Chambers had voted it, and who seemed to watch for the moment of their separation to exercise power without restraint, now pretend to be astonished at the fears which they have created, and at the tempests which they have evoked ! But were not their names alone, and the la mentable circumstances which preceded them, suf ficient to put France on her guard ? And do not their first choice, their untoward procession, their loud menaces of sedition, and the tirades of their hired writers against institutions purchased with much blood, justify, indeed command, the qui vive of all the sentinels of the public liberties, and the alertness with which all France is actuated ? Did a single day pass when they did not scatter the seeds of fear throughout the nation ? Did not Oleir repeated diatribes against the charter, their doc trine of right divine, borrowed from the most bloody periods of the history of our neighbours, their vulgar abuse of the e!Pctive chamber, their denunciations of the electoral colleges, which they transformed into clubs of c onspirators;—their declaration that they came to overthrow ;he edifice of our laws, and to re-construct it from the foundation ;—their con tempt for majorities, their in3entate theories relative to constitutional power, and their incendiary sophis tries relative to the vote of the taxes, burst forth in frightful characters in the pages of their journals, in each line of their libels ? And yet, when they have succeeded in spreading terror in places where confi dence before reigned, and in substituting agitation for repose, they dare to accuse France of being the cause of 0104' alarm, and denounce her because she has read and understood them What a beautiful spectacle is that moral resistance front the whole of a great people, that majestic calm, and that imposing apathy which oppose the coolness of right to the passion of arbitrary power; the homage of that immense population which rushed forward to meet the man whose renown is unsullied, was offered less to the sincere and unchangeable friend of our liberties than as a protest against the avowed designs and the implacable manifestoes of the adversaries of our constitutional institution. The affliction which has taken possession of every hoot, irritated at the sight of the most unpopular men, and at the signal of the most significant menaces, en entire people, who oppose a respectful opposition, and who turn a look of grief and of hope towards the throne, have at last drawn a cry from this dumb ad ministration, which, clothed in power, as in the *Hence of the cloister, seemed only occupied in plotting against the liberties of the country. Behold them now ! They disown their menaces, they repudiate their doctrines, and brand the fore heads of the writers whose pens they had hired, with the mark of ignominy and shame I Those men who came to change the system, who announced a new order of things, are now reduced to the ne cessity of protesting their respect for the Charter end the rights of the Chambers, which they denied eaterday, but which to-day they humbly acknow ledge, What then can they do for power, if they can accomplish nothing against their country, and nothing in fervour of their faction ? Why do they nut withdraw themselves, since they have only suc ceeded in alarming France and in deceiving the Throne, as they are a perpetual source of trouble and discord, and as they have spread anxiety throughout the most calm, the most confiding, and the most submissive nation ? Let them not, then, throw upon her the blame of a state of mistrust, and the crisis which they themselves have produced; above all, let them not profane the name of the King by mixing him up with their disavowals, as they did with their me naces ! They ought to know it ; they are incom patible with France; there is no accord, and there can be no possible truce between 1815 and 1829. At their very appearance the country drew back from them, as well as that multitude of functionaries wh 6 had a horror of putting themselves in contact with t hunpopularity ; and the country, like those e.." honourable rn:' o, will no more believe in their re tractatiou than it ,`.'ill suffer itself to be imposed upon by their rhodomantades. lively man of sense in France, every landed pro prietor, every capitalist, every citizen who thinks of the future, every one who has any stake in the country, is unanimous in repulsing a power incap able of any thing good, and which is reduced to the sad extremity of acknowledging that it cannot even do harm, and which required forty days of vain effort and abortive attempts to decide upon telling France that it will respect her institutions. This Ministry has been its own judge, or, to use the expression of its terrible Chief, it has done jus tice upon itself. From the moment it can commit no violence, it can do nothing; and when it re ii.i.qunces despotism, it renounces power. Its retro gra4e manifesto of to-day may be looked upon as An antipated dismissal. Yesterday pi,Tning an accident happened to the vehicle lately started by 31r. SIIILLIBEER, which was likely to be attended with very serious consequences. The Omnibus was driving through the Old Jewry, on its way from Paddington to the Bank, with about 15 passen gers inside it, when it fairly broke down, and the persons inside were thrown into each other's aims in the most fa miliar manner possible. The greatest alarm prevailed for some time lest the concussion should have done serious harm to the passengers, many of whom were females, I.ut they were all got out " more frightened than hurt." A long time elapsed before the Omnibus was set right, and the Old Jewry was completely blocked op, Ow i ng to t h e great s:ze of the vehicle. The Paddington coachmen re joiced much when they heard of the accident. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 23, 1829. Naremburg Gazettes state, upon the autho rity of a German officer serving in the Russian army under General DIEBITSCII, that its force at the moment of crossing the Balkan amounted only to about 45,000 men, but that taking into account the reinforcements on the way to join it from the Danube and the ports of the Black Sea, it might have amounted to 80,000 men when the General advanced against Adrianople. The total non-resistance of the Turks is now attributed to fatalism, a sorry excuse certainly after the ridiculous boasts of their number, bravery, and religious enthusiasm in the cause of the Prophet, as the SULTAN vainly endea voured to represent the struggle to their fervid imaginations. After all that we have heard of the SULTAN'S mighty preparations, it certainly seems very strange that he could not muster a f7rce sufficiently strong to resist an invading army of 50,000 men. Our wonder is marvel lously increased when we reflect on the natural means of defence within the SULTAN'S power— means which had formerly been considered as impregnable ; but it may perhaps have been owing to this blind belief in the impregnability of the Balkan defences, that the fate of the war has been so suddenly decided, against the inte rests of the too confiding SULTAN. The Balkans once passed, the Turks seem to have given themselves up to despair. They looked upon the Russians as irresistible and so tamely resigned to fear what they might have defended with glory. But they felt like men whose hour was come—and deemed resistance as warring against the in superable decrees of Providence. Hence the rapid success of the Russians—a success so un expected that the conquerors were allowed to march on unmolested, wondering at the sunshine of their fortune. The disgraceful capitulation of Adrianople, proved, if any proof were wanting, that the Turkish Commanders had partaken of the paralysing panic which ha,l prostrated the energies of their men. In this deplorable state of military disorganization, what had the SULTAN to look forward to, but submis sion, which to be at all effectual, must be timely ? Hesitation would have enabled the victorious Russians to have aroused him from his doubts by the startling echoes of their " hurrahs " thickening upon the affrighted inmates of the Seraglio. The very courier that announced the surrender of Adrianople bespoke the fate of the capital, if resistance were pro longed. The SULTAN felt this—and was con. strained to act accordingly. What the result has been we have yet to learn :—perhaps to morrow will dissipate a world of doubt which yet exists, n otwithstanding the assertion that the preliminaries of peace have already been signed : BANKS OF THE MAINE. A letter from a German officer, serving in the army under General Diebitsch, contains the follow ing details of the strength of that army : The Russian army which has crossed the Balkan was only from 40 to 45,000 strong; but the rein forcements expected from the ports of the Black Sea, where they were to be landed, and also from the banks of the Danube, may be estimated ta at , many more. Thus it may be estimated 'that the Russian General had not fewer than 80,000 men when he advanced against Adrianople, which is suf ficient to disperse the doubts that have been enter tained of the possibility of his victorious march to Constantinople. His army was in excellent condi tion, abuts antly supplied with every thing, and in the highest spirits. It appears to us that there was nothing to be apprehended of a general rising of the Turkish population against the Russian army. The Turkish troops have shewn themselves to•be totally discouraged, which may be accounted for by their belief in fatalism, and the little success they have hitherto had. In fine, this letter represents Con stantinople as the goal which the Russians will in a short time infallibly reach. SILISTRIA, AUG. 25. This place begins to recover from the miseries of a ruinous siege. The population has, indeed, been much reduced by disease, and the health of the city is not so good as might be wished. The Russians, however, do every thing possible to alleviate the distresses of the inhabitants. Great sums are ex pended in repairing the fortresses, on which the inhabitants, both Christians and Mahometans, are employed and well paid. Our commercial inter course with Bulgaria begins to revive, and our Governor does his utmost to favour it. RUSSIA, AUG. 25. _ While the messengers of victory from our army beyond the Balkan rapidly follow each other, the exchange of couriers between our Cabinet and foreign Courts, especially London, is equally active. It is inferred from this that negotiations are going on simultaneously with the military operations, in order to obtain in the shortest time pos sible the blessings of a glorious peace. The French Minister, the Duke de Montemart, has re turned from \Viborg, where he has been for the benefit of sea bathing, and immediately on his re turn, had a long conference with Count Nesselrode, and afterwards a private audience of the Emperor. We now hear nothing of his recall, which was ex pected to follow the change in the French Ministry. It is even said that he has received new instructions, which tend to draw still closer the friendship be tween Russia and France. It may be presumed, therefore, that any differences between our Cabinet and that of England are fully adjusted, and that the great work of the pacification of the East will be completed with the full concurrence of all the European Powers. We perceive by a report of the proceedings in the Court of Aldermen held yesterday, that Mr. WINCHESTER was sworn in as Alderman for the Ward of Vintry—an honour to which he should have been called upwards of two years ago, were it not for the blind obstinacy of that - Court of which the worthy Gentleman is now a rightful Member—thanks to his own perseverance and proper sense of justice. Of Mr. WILDE, his antagonist, we shall say no thing—enough for him is the contemplation of his own defeat, though backed by the influence and monied support of the Corporation of London ! The generous and well- merited welcome with which the LORD MAYOR and Court of Alder men received Mr. WINCHESTER yesterday, as a member of their body, reflects credit upon their feelings, and proves that their opposition was not prompted by any individual motives, but solely from a mistaken notion of Mr. WIN CHESTER'S eligibility. It was upon this misapprehension that they supported Mr. WILDE, believing him to be the rightful Candidate, but now that they are :con vinced of their mistake, we have no doubt they will, in the same spirit of impartial justice, reimburse Mr. WINCHESTER in all the expences to which he has been put through their own instrumentality. If Mr. WINCHESTER did not happen to r be a man of substance, and able to vindicate his own rights, we see that Mr. WILDE would have been the suc cessful candidate, for money, and not justice, would have prevailed. As it is, we trust that the Corporation of London will hasten to repair the injuries which it inadvertently inflicted, by rendering Mr. WINCHESTER the only thing now in its power—a repayment of all his expences—expences incurred in asserting his own right, and in maintaining those of the Cor poration at the same time. Mr. SADLER, having resolved to belie the prophecy of COBBETT, that he would go down to posterity under the name of single speech SADLER, has delivered an oration at Whitby that has thrown the enemies of improvement into ecstasies of delight, and has been pronounced by them to be an admirable counterpart of his maiden effort on the Catholic Question. That number two is indeed worthy of number one, we freely admit ; for we know few better exer cises for juvenile detectors of fallacies than the productions of the Member for Newark. He is a man of showy information, a shrewd observer, and not deficient in the art of composition, and is consequently successful in making an impres sion on those whose wits arc not sufficiently alive to prevent their taking for Gospel all that falls with plausibility from his mouth, particularly when it coincides with their preconceived opi nions. But Mr. SADLER has a fault, or misfor tune, which we apprehend must greatly interfere with his fame with posterity as a politician , namely, that he is unable to reason, or to deduce correct consequences from premises. Hence we find him perpetually blundering when he endea vours to ascribe effects to particular causes—at tributing existing circumstances to events with which they have no more relation than the building of Tenterden steeple had with the ac cumulation of Sandwich Flats, evidence to which effect was once given before the King's Com missioners. To refute formally the opinions expressed by Mr. SADLER at Whitby, would entail on us the task of discussing at length every political ques tion that now divides the public mind. But it i s th e l ess ne cessary to attempt it in the present 1 • instance, as the speech contains no new argu ment of any kind, but is merely a string of as t sertions which may be answered by pleading the general issue, as the lawyers say. It is more over impossible to suppose that Mr. SADLER'S notions can have the slightest weight with the Government, or that the Duke of WELLING TON would think them deserving of any other notice than that with which NAPOLEON used to stop the suggestions of his officers—" Tenez, ma resolution ea prise As a specimen of Mr. SADLER'S logic, the following is curious :—Our glorious Constitu tion, quoth he, was not formed by any one great effort, or struck off as it were by one stamp, but the various laws for our religion, our commerce, &c. have been made from time to time, as the circumstances of the country led our ancestors to see fit ; ergo, there never should be any change in those laws. Now this is the very argument in favour of change ; because if our Constitution had been deliberately framed at any one time, upon any one defined plan with reference to the future, as was the case in the early Republics of Greece, then the presumption might have been against alteration ; but when «e see that our laws have all along been made with a view to existing cir cumstances, like the Anti-Catholic Laws, the Navigation Laws, the Prohibitory System, the One Pound Note System, and so forth, the conclusion is irresistible that when the circum stances to which those laws were made to apply, have ceased, they ought to be altered to suit the state of the present times. In contradiction to Mr. SADLER'S statements about Free Trade, we refer to the Parliamentary Returns of the gradual increase of our com merce and shipping. In answer to his vagaries concerning population, we beg attention to an article in the Edinburgh Review just published; and, as an antidote to his lamentation for the falling off of the present generation from the religious principles and intellectual attainments of their ancestors, we cannot recommend a bet ter work than the pamphlet of Dr. ARNOLD, the Master of Rugby School, on the Catholic Question. Real piety and learning are always found united with common sense. In the peroration of 1/r. SADLER'S speech there is a passage of a prophetic nature. The country, he foretells, will eventually be rescued from its difficulties in the following manner : " The Deity shall appear, and smiting the " unfaithful Palinurus, himself' seize the helm, and pilot the vessel through the succeeding " storm into the haven of prosperity and " peace !" Palinurus, of course, means the Duke of WELLINGTON—but whether the " Deity" is intended to typify the Duke of NEWCASTLE, Lord WINCHILSEA, or the Member for Newark himself, our skill in the interpretation of prophecy does not enable us precisely to determine. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, Twiars o' CLocr. Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off at yesterday, 89i for the account, and 89 for money, at which prices they remain steady without any business doing. Up to the present hour we have no further information from the theatre of war. The Foreign market is also in a very inactive state as yet. Our arrivals this morning are but few, conse quently we are shy of information. Quebec Papers to the 26th August, and Mon treal to the 28th August, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. STANSTEAD, AUG. 20.—1 n consequence of the private advices from England, intimating that the Bill to mak:: a new division of the province, and to increase the representation thereof, which passed in the provincial Parliament last session, had received the Royal assent, notices have been put in circula tion calling meetings of the freeholders of several townships, for choosing delegates to a general meet ing, which is to be holden at Lennaxeville on the 26th inst. _ _ The Montreal Paper of the 27th August states, that his Excellency, Sir James Kemp, is to leave Quebec for Richelieu, to land at Nicotel, from whence he is to proceed through the Eastern town ships, and is again expected at Montreal about the middle of September. Three per Cent. Consols, 89/ i; Ditto, for Account, 391 I; Four per Cent., 102,4 3; India Stock, 221 2 ; Bank Stock, shut; India Bonds, 63 4; Exchequer Bills, 71 72.

There has been but very little fluctuation in the Consol Market this morning; they have been done at 89f for the Account, and at present may be quoted at 89f -a and 89-1- for Money. Some sur prise is expressed in the City that no confirmation has as yet been received of the armistice and the prePmina►ies between the Turks and Russians. The delay, it is supposed, is owing to its being sent to the Emperor, at St. Petersburgh, for his ratifica tion before ►t is officially published. Accounts from Araquipa of the 29th March state, that eight Commissioners have arrived from Bolivia, with the hopes of persuading General Santa Cruz to accept the Presidency of that Republic, and it seems he has not been able to resist their entreaties, and will set off in a few days for the Bolivian capital. In the Foreign Market Brazilian Bonds have im proved nearly one per cent. All other foreign securities arc much the same as yesterday. THREE O'CLOCK. Consols for Account, 894. Yesterday the Mum of Drogheda steam packet came into our harbour about twelve o'clock, after encountering the very severe south-easterly gale which took place the night before, and during the early part of the morning. The Town of Drogheda sailed from Drogheda at one o'clock on Thursday for Liverpool, and had on hoard, we understand, nearly 700 bead of rattle, of various kinds. The decks were very much crowded with them. On the vessel coming into birth every exer tion was made to reland them. They were in a most wretched condition, and sheep and pigs died in abundance. The horned cattle were so weak on being brought on shore that they could barely walk, and some of them died also. The vessel did not SCUM to suffer in the hull or rig ging. The great embarrassment in navigating her arose from the quantity of cattle on deck.—saunderes News Letter. CANTERBURY. Sept. 19. We had a large supply of Wheat this day, mostly very fine and dry, which was readily disposed of at 745. to 765. per quarter, hut not more than 2s. per quarter ad vance upon the general quality. New Barley, Beans, and Oats, come slowly to hand, having in many parts of East Kent still a great quantity in the field. We have also Wheat unharvested, which from the late heavy rains must prove of little value. Wheat, white 6os. to 725....... Old —s. to —s. red 525. to 70s. Barley, Malting 34s. to 40s.

A meeting of the Subscribers to the establishment of Lloyd's took place this morning at twelve o'clock for the purpose of having laid before them the half-yearly report° The LORD MAYOR in the Chair. His LORDSHIP congratulated the meeting on the fiaaw vial statement he was about to lay before them, and formed the subscribers that a sum of 5001. had beet' vested in the Three per Cent. Consols during the half year, making an amount of 2,000/. during the twelve - month. The sum now in that stock to the credit of Lloyd's was 15,5011/. His Lordship further stated that owing to the pressure of business in the last Session of Par liament, the subject of Marine Insurance had not been brought before the House of Commons, but that he had the assurance of the Chancellor of the Exchequer that the subject occupied the attention of his Majesty's Govern• :pent. It was then moved and seconded that the half-yearly report be received, which was carried unanimously.-- Thanks wore then moved to the Right Hon. Chairman, and the meeting terminated. OPENING OF THE NEW POST OFFICE, THIS MORNING. This splendid edifice was opened in the presence of a great concourse of people, for the commencement of the business of the Post-office department, a short time before five o'clock this morning. During the whole of last night workmen were busily en gaged in making all complete in those offices more imme diately required, and all the principal officers of the de partment were at their posts. By the arrival of the mails every thing was ready. The Holyhead Mail was the first to enter the court-yard of the new Post-office, and came in in gallant style at about a quarter past five o'clock. The other ►nai'.s followed at intervals of ten minutes to half an hour. We are extremely sorry to state that a serious accident befel the Brighton Mail. It would appear that a rivalry existed among all the mail-coachmen to be the first who entered the new Office, and a confident expectation wa s indulged that either the Brighton or the Dover Mail 4 o from the short distance they have to come, would lain reached the new Office first. In their desire to arrive firs t it is scarcely to be wondered at that the mails were drivel' with more than usual rapidity, in order that each c oach might get the preference. The Brighton coach was cola" ing to town with great speed, and when it arrived one mil e on the London side of Coventry it upset, and the coachma n was seriously hurt. In the coach was one of the gentlemen connected with the Post-office, he escaped unhurt, and ita' mediately came to town with the letter-bags in a p.or chaise. The coachman was left in a very dangerous state' With the exception of this, no other accident occurred. The imp:oved system adopted in the new Post-office , under the judicious arrangement of Sir F. Freeling, o r abled the inland officers to sort and arrange the letters by about eight o'clock, and at half-past eight they were ready for delivery. In the course of the morning four vehicles were stationed within the railing at the back of the Post-office, built a fter the manner of the Omnibus. In those the letter-carried having to deliver letters at the west and north-westen parts' the Metropolis, took their seats about half-past eig o'clock, two of the carriages proceeding up the Strand, as the other two up Holborn. There were about fourteen letter-carriers in each. In the city the early delivery of letters insured under the new regulations was very remarkable. At Lloyd's Coffer' a house and other public places the letters arrived full Xv minutes earlier than usual. During the whole morning great numbers of people f were inspecting the new building, at least, those parts it now open. Unqualified praise was given to the arch , ' tect for the chaste manner in which the new Post-offic e has been completed. The mail-coachmen and guards are to have a dinner on the occasion, at least, such is the understanding at present The obelisk at the top of St. Martin's-le-Gra n d appear': to be in the way, as the mail-coaches have to make a vert sharp turn to go round, in order to pass down the sotto' side of the new building ; indeed, ft am the rapid marine; in which the coaches came in this morning, it was kitten that some accident would ensue. This edifice, which has been nearly ten years in th e c ,urse of erection, has now been completed, and the publi c will derive much accommodation from the central situation in which it is placed. The branch offices were in a ctive operation this morning, and it is some satisfaction to WO that the lives of the public will no longer be endangered k 1 the mail-carts. They are to be put down altogether. The letters at the remote ends of the town will be deli vered at least an hour earlier by the new regulations. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DA: MANSION-HOUSE. A DISORDERLY ORDERLY.—A Spaniard of peculis . r l Y ferocious appearance, who had been in military ser v r was brought before the Loan Alavoa, charged with hell" beaten a body of watchmen in their sanctum sanctorunb after having broken windows and knocked down those Oho questioned his right to disturb the public tranquillity. , e A shopkeeper stated that the defendant, either under t". influence of drink or some other powerful excitor' , " moved along the streets like the common enemy of °Ow kind. If any person happened to stand in his way the obstruction was speedily removed into the kennel by tme vigorous arm of the Spaniard, who at length took °fen ce ,. at one of the waxen heads which stood in a hair-dresser,,; window, with sundry beautiful curls about it—" said he, " I vill kill dat head," and without more he;tj tion he dashed his hand through the glass, and tumbie n i .ibe head on the ground, to the woeful dilapidation ei r ag features. This adventure gathered a crowd of blacke,. 3 . !o g round the Spaniard, who seemed bent upon distinge ls ,", himself still more. The police at l as t got hold of it io o , tied his arms together, as if preparing him for e xeen t e a, and endeavoured to place him in a coa c h. It aPr e t r t he however, that he was as active about the legs as abOi g ici arms, for, taking a steady aim at a watchman vith°„ostber d hint by one leg, lie gave him such a kick with th e t as laid him flat. At length he was shoved into A man's cart, and taken to the watch-house. ,, c e The constable of the night said that in all his experlehere he never met with such an obstrupulous man as thi, s ; t his Spaniard.
