MINISTRY.—The elements of discord are at comparative rest—a peace has been patehed up be= tween the members of the Cabinet, and things are allowed to go on as before; with the turderstanding, however., that the Catholic Claim-, to a certain ex tent, are to be conceded, for the consideration of which Parliament is expected to meet so early as next November or December, near three months before their usual time, in order that a Committee on this especial question may be formed. In the meantime, negociations have been and are goitrg on between tire Duke of Wellington and some of the Whig leaders, especially Earl Grey, Lord Russell, and Mr. Brougham, to strengthen his Cabinet, and, from what we have heard, it is not unlikely these negociations will be successful. How far, however, Earl Grey or Mr. Brougham can take office, with out an understanding that Parliamentary Reform is not to be resisted by the Cabinet of which they will form the most talented portion, we can not see. Both these distinguished Statesmen have at different times pledged themselves to this great and fundamental measure. With out Parliamentary Reform nothing can be done but by corruption,--and corruption can rarely be used for a good purpose. The case is quite clear. Ministers of every party must depend on the assist ance of the members returned by the people, or the members returned and paid by themselves. If they expect strength from the former source, they must throw themselves upon the people by opening close boroughs, arid giving the elective franchise to large towns. It was the capital error of Mr. Canning, that, when . he had freed himself from the trammels of the aristocracy, who hated him r. he did not anni hilate, or at all events lessen the influence of Abe aristocracy by putting in force the principle of the British Constitution, that " no Peer shall be allowed to interfere or influence the election of a commoner." had he done so, he would, instead of being defeated by the " Great Untaught," have levelled the crum bling temple of the aristocrats with the ground, and permitted them no longer to famish the people by their high rents, debauch them by their game mono poly, or destroy them to preserve all the immunities and usurpations of " their order." If Ministers seek to strengthen themselves, not by the people, but in spite of the people, by exercising the undue in fluence of the aristocracy at elections, they must please that aristocracy ; and there is no way of pleas ing such aristocracy, but by infringing on the liber ties of the people ; by keeping up the price of bread, by ruining our foreign, and lessening our domestic trade in consequence ; by supporting the laws of en tail and primogeniture, which throw all younger brothers upon the country, to be fed from the Church, the Army, the Law, or the Government ; by preserving all monopolies, and, in fine, by sacri ficing the many to the few. A Minister of Great Britain has no other choice. Either he must work by undue influence or by holiest influence. If the former, he cannot, if he would, do good by evil means; if the latter, he must give the people a power equal to that which will be used against him and against them. It was for these rsasens that Mr. Pitt, in his days of youth and honesty, while the light of his great father's bright career shone on his unsophisticated mind, made the memorable declara tion, " Without Reform no honest man can be !Mi nister of Great Britain." Earl Grey, and his nephew, Lord Durham, then Mr. Lambton, with Mr. Brougham, pledged themselves, some years ago, not to take office without Reform. Will they keep the pledge if they join th e Ad m i n i strat i on of the Duke of Wellington ? Alas! we fear, if they have the inclination (which we much doubt) they will not have the ability. (FROM THE MANCHESTER HERALD OF YESTERDAY.) STATE OF TRADE.—The happy change which has taken place in the promise of the harvest has already produced a beneficial effect upon the trade of this district. The number of London and Country buyers in the market this week is much greater than we have seen for some time ; and the quantity of i 'cloth purchased is considerable. There has not, however, been any material alteration in price. The supply of printing cloth for some time has been smaller than usual, and has barely equalled the de mand. The cause of this is said to be the difficulty of obtaiNing weavers at the low wages which the manufacturers can afford to give; better terms being offered by the manufacturers of worsted and fancy goods. There has consequently been a small ad vance in the price of weaving, and should the Ile. mand for cloth improve, there is little doubt that an advance of price will be obtained. The demand for exportation does not improve. There has been a great falling off in the exports to Germany during the whole of this year as compared with the last, both as respects goods and yarns, particularly the latter. The demand from the United States is of course materially impeded by the operation of the Tariff, and during the last two months the exports have been considerably less than half their amount in the corresponding period of last year. There has, however, been a considerable increase in the trade to Brazil, and other states of South America, with the exception of Mexico. The export of yarns to India is rapidly increasing. The quantity shipped from London and Liverpool during the last two months being much more than double that of the same period lust year. FROM TUE SCOTSMAN OF WEDNESDAY.) The London Journals affect much surprise at the pause in the advance of the Russian army, and the Emperor's return to Odessa; hut to us neither the one event or the other presents any thing inexplicable. If the Turks will not meet the Russians in battle, what are the latter to do ? It does not follow that because Nicholas has driven his enemies before him in the open field, he is able at the moment of hisar rival to storm formidable works, under the shelter of which one man acting on the defensive is equal to three assailants. What call be more in the course of things, than that the RusSians, before attacking Shumla, where they failed once or twice, should lake a week of two to collect their troops, now scattered over a conquered country as large as Great Britain ? And supposing the troops collected, can tky ven ture to storm without first battering and breaching ? All this evidently requires time; ar:d since Nicholas does not pretend, like Napc;leon, to direct every operation in person, it is surely natural enough that he should retire for a week or two to visit his wife and family, while nothing is going on but preparations and arrangements, which, though very necessary, can confer no eclat, and do not re quire his presence. The New Times says, that Lord Heytesbury, our new Ambassador, is instructed by the Duke of Wellington to demand explanations as to the designs of Russia. We doubt if the Net, Times, or any other journal is the depository of the Duke's counsels; and we doubt if any British Mi nister has, or claims a right to question Russia as to her designs, so long as she is only doing what her position as a belligerent power demands. What can that power do, but pursue her enemy, beat his ar mies, capture his towns, and occupy his territory, till he shall sue for peace, and offer the satisfaction which Britain has admitted to be due. If the Sultan will not yield till Adrianople is in the enemy's hands, are we to act as the gratuitous guardians of his interests, make terms for him without his solici tation or consent, and tell Russia that she must wait with arms in her hands at a certain prescribed boundary till the Sultan's rage subsides, and he be comes amenable to reason ? Every one must sea the absurdity of such a course. (FROM THE GLASGOW FREE TRESS OF WEDNESDAY.) WELLINGTON'S BLUNDERS.---The report, men tioned in our last, of a defeat sustained by the Rus sians before Shumla, has again been repeated with additional particulars, which, if they. do not render the event more certain, render it at least more pro bable• From all we can learn of the plans and dis positions of the two belligerent parties, we arc led to suppose that the Russians have now relinquished their hope of storming Shumla, and have com menced against it a system of blockade—a circum stance which, if true, may be regarded as deter mining the fate of the camp a i gn; an d even; per haps, of the war.lf the grand Russian force sit . down before Shumla, the heat, the scarcity of ti , ater; the difficulty of procuring provisions, .and also the incessant sallies of the enemy, will soon compel it to rise and fall bad: towards the Danube; and be fore another spring girt it an opportunity ot again ad vancing, it is not presuming too much On flitiiritjs fb calculate on the occurrence of events to render that advance impracticable. France, from her position in the Mediterranean, will be able to check at any point the career of Nicholas —at all events, to save from his grasp the city of Constantinople; there exists, also, the strongest probability that Austria will not only countenance, but actively assist, France in such a measure; and even this country may per haps be induced to take up her crutches, and hobble out the length of the Mediterranean, to assist in so judicious an enterprize. That our Ministers are now lapsing into a state of mind which will induce them thus to act, may be inferred from the present mission of Lord Heyttsbury to the Rus s i a n h ea d- qttartersi for the purpose, it is said, of demanding a full and satisfactory explanation of the Autocrat's views con nected with his aggression upon Turkey. The mo tive to this demand can only be, to as cer t a i n , f rom such th thateAuto c w ra e t' n s ee e d xp f l e a e n i atriloo n alarm concerning them ;, whether his vi ews pre or, if they are otherwise, whether we ought directly to enter the lists with him as an enemy, or assume, like France, merely a hostile attitude, ready to act ac cording to the nature of coming events. Now, as it has long been notorious to all save our Ministers, that the Autocrat's views are pregnant with the most imminent danger - to this country, it fellows that the effect of Lord Heytesbury's mission can only be, to demonstrate to his Grace Of Wellington the neces sity of - adopting the two last alternatives,--of either rushinginto - iMmediate war, or' assuming a position with a view to that event at no distant period. . Here, therefore, is a dilemma for his Grace, between the horns of which he must look not a little ridicu lous. He withdrew Britain from the position in which the genius of Canning had placed her along with France, in order to pret ent the war which Russia has since declared against Turkey ; and now, convinced by consequent disaster and disgrace of the folly of that measure, he is about to attempt her restoration to her once proud attitude, at the risk of an almost certain war !--a war, which his bungling policy was the chief cause of producing. The Duke of Wellington, above any other man not in Turkey, has most reason to wish for the defeat of the Rus sians at Shumla, for, should they there prove victo rious, he must plunge this distressed country into a war which it cannot sustain, and which, but for the ascendancy of himself find his faction, we might have avoided. (FROM THE CORI: CONSTITUTION OF TUESHAT.) NUR PROTESTANT TENANTRY.---011e cannot read over the speeches delivered at various Protes tant festivals, without feeling astonishment, that so much reason, and information, and genuine talent as these display, should have slumbered so long, while open war was carrying on against Protestantism in all its interests. At the Protestant entertainment given to Colonel Irwin at Sligo, some of the speeches were above all praise. If Colonel Irwin's plan of remedy for a condition of things, so abun dant in dangers to the free Constitution of a Protes tant State, in consequence of the transferring of farms from humble Protestants to Roman Catholic peasants, should happen to be adopted—the " Mem ber for Clare" though rather " in the sear leaf " for a political adventurer, may live to see such a change in the Constituency of Ireland, as may tend to still the tempest of catholic ambition—to dry up the springs of the Catholic Exchequer; and further, to see that peace and quiet restored to the country, which perhaps can never be expected, so long as fiery zeal or intoxicated bigotry may delude itself with a notion of its power and the consequent hope of a chance, for the extirpation of the Protestant re ligion out of Ireland. Happily—most happily—the eyes of Protestants are opening at last—and they are atoning by vigour and intellectual energy, for au inactivity, which in a little time would have proved fatal to them. The " Member for Clare" knows, that the push must now be made or never, and for that reason the Protestants are bound to strain every effort without the less of a moment. (FROM THE COAL MERCANTILE CHRONICLE OF MONDAY.) THE PUBLIC PEEss.--The Press is not what it ought to be. There are too many connected with it, in all parts of Europe, whose pens will speak truth or falsehood; whose talents are purchasable for any purpose ; and the god of whose adoration is the best paymaster. Let us but look to our own Irish Jour nals, as well those of the capital as of the province. What lie, in the way of statement, can you not get inserted in them; and what speculation► is too ab surd or mischievous for the calculations of some of their proprietors. The public are, however, to blame for much of this iniquity, if Press Men, who knowingly inserted falsehoods, were to be treated as private liars arc treated, the business of Jour nalists would not be now what it is, overrun by mis creant s of the most unprincipled description, who would write for plague, or for blood, if rvriting them up could bring money to their coffers. The Courier, which gave its readers such a true and particular ac count of the late rebellion in Ireland, has not been able to make good its intimations respecting The terrible check of the Russians at Shumla. It does not appear yet that the Russians have been worsted before that fortress, whence we must conclude that their wonted success has attended them, and that, however the Courier may like it, they are still tri umphant, as the Irish are still tranquil. FROM THE DUBLIN FREEMAN'S JOURNAL OF WEDNESDAY. PROOFS THAT THE ENGLISH PEOPLE ARE FAVOUR.. ARLE TO EMANCIPATIO.I.—We have had a conversa tion with a gentleman of great intelligence, who has returned within the last week from England, whither he had been during a considerable part of the sum mer, not more for amusement than for the purpose of being accurately informed as to the progress made by the Catholic Question in that country. The fol lowing is, in substance, what he said :—" In the summer of 1827, I found the antipathy to Catholic Emancipation so great, that if the question was at all introduced, its introduction but testified the almost unconquerable hostility of the English mind to its fa vourable adjustment. The case, however, is now quite otherwise. Ireland is the topic at every table, and the burden of conversation with the old and young. I met one gentlerrean, at Sidmouth, who spoke of it as a bore, by which his very existence was embittered, and prayed devoutly for its speedy settlement. Amongst the youth of the country there are scarcely to he found any unfavour able to Emancipation—particularly those under or about thirty years of age; and the old, who had not yet relented, were either Irish Orangemen, or some of their dependents and connections. It is very generally believed that the Duke of Wellington has progressed considerably in tke arrangements for the pacification of Ireland ; and I can assure you that his conduct is not less generally approved of." The tone of the British Press confirms us in the disposition to confide in the above statements. If a Journal of such wealth as the Times cannot afford to run counter to public opinion, the provincial Jour nals of England, whose circulation rarely extends beyond their respective districts and shires, assuredly are not the vehicles of editorial opinion alone. The privilege pronoun we, no matter what is said of the independence of the Press, always comprehends the portion of the community for whom he writes, as well as the writer himself. When we observe, then, amongst the strenuous advocates of the Irish ques tion, the ablest conductors of the English and Scotch Press, are we riot strictly logical in the inference, that the British public go the full length with the British Journalists ? The soul and spirit which should animate many of our own lending Prints, seem as if transferred by some political metempsychosis into the " broad sheets" of the North of England. Until we received the Durham Chronicle, we could not, for instance, be persuaded, that so liberal and independent a print flourished beyond the heal"' Of the tOnsciale estate.

If all the Catholics were to become Protestants this precious body of patriots would be quite as full of rage as at present." The Nottingham illereuu also says, " we hail with much satisfaction, .Ihe sent-- meats delivered by Mr. Da ws on a t t h e Derry anni versary, as they confirm our opinion, that it is the intention of the Duke of Wellington to bring the Catholic Question to an amicable adjustMent. We have so repeatedly given our Own views of the pro priety of Emancipation and so much has been Said and written on it, that scarcely any thing of a novel nature can be brought forward." With a similar spirit the Editor of the Plymouth Herald contends : I' It, is generally held by the well informed in political economy and who have weighed well the state of the-1 British Empire, that some step of this nature (ernanci, tuition) is absolutely neoessary s in order to ensure tran quillity to our sister kingdom." The Tyne Mercury says that Mr. Dawson "made an excellent speech at Derry, in favour of the Catholics; that it was a bold effort, and, if sincere, a manly one to do so, at an Orange meeting." " Whil e t h e C at h o li cs o f Ire land," observes the Manchester Gazette, " were for years addressing their supplications for a very limited share of freedom to those who held them in bondage, they were told with an insolent and un feeling taunt, that they ought to emancipate them selves. They have at last met that challenge to in dependence as it ought to be met. They have retorted contempt and defiance ripen their contume lious oppressors, and they have emancipated them selves, not by violence and outrage, not by secret association, nor even by that open appeal to arms, which the Constitution sanctions as the last resort of an injured people, but by the calm and dignified vindication of their sacred right of suffrage." These evidences of the fact, that the English people are no bar to the pacification of Ireland—we could multiply twenty, thirty-fold; but its truth is already established. (FROM THE DUBLIN EVENING rosy OF TUESDAY.) BRUNSWICKHRS I—So then, it is just as we anticipated—the Orangemen will not publish the lists of their rent contributors !

Oh ! if the King had not his seven millions to draw upon, ad libitum, what a miserable country would Ireland be. No, no, they find the ground receding from under their feet—they know in their hearts that the Duke of Wellington has decided to bring the queition of Eniancipation before Parliament next November ; they know, for we have told them so, and from authority, dirk arrangements are in pro gress with a view to the final settlement of the question ; despair has made them , mad. We did intend to analyse the characters, and the kind of in comes which the managers of these clubs derive from the public purse ; nor have we, as yet, aban doned the intention. For the present we shall dis miss the subject by whispering in their ears, that the defection of Mr. George Dawson has been followed by that of Sir George Hill, and that the Church— we mean the decent part of it—namely, the Church of England, has been brought round, Lord Kenyon and the Marquis of Chandos notwithstanding. On Wednesday his MAJESTY, attended by the Marquis of CONYNGHANI, the Earl and Countess MOUNTCHARLES, Lord and Lady STRATHAVEN, Lord FARNBOROUGH, COI.

Crux—the actual inlet of our commodities to the immense regions and ad vancing population of Mexico. In Spai n we are prohibited, or superseded by the French. From Portugal,—the kingdom whose ruin, by calmly witnessing it, tire British Government may be said to have ensured,—the commerce, or industry, pr revenue of England can now de rive nd benefit. ,France and Russia both repel us from their sea-ports. With Belgium we have taken no measurtb to improve, by commercial intercourse, a kindly feeling into a source of re ciprocal advantage. Where no besieging squa dron operates, we have ja a ll.niey or impolicy to act in its room ; but where the n;:rchant might under ordinary cir cums t ances rea p A 8n(1 overflowing harvest, from a trade undisturhet: by the spirit of monopoly manifesting itself in prohibitory laws, in steps—as witness Ame rica and Madeira—the self-imposed nuisance of the modern blockade policy, which /eaves the manufacturing and commercial interests o Great Britain at the mercy of any miserable ty. , rant who can muster half a dozen sloops of war': We do not deny that there may be found tbr our submitting to such inflictions an apology in that sort of law which England has done so much towards establishing. The principle contended for is, no doubt, that when the belligerent seeks to distress his enemy, the neutral has no right t relieve that enemy by administering to the supply of his wants. As laid down by the jurists, the law of blockade applies in strictness only to towns besieged—that is to say, towns of which the capture is attempted by the blockading power. In that case common sense directs that all merchandise which goes to the satisfaction or human wants, of such wants as, if left unsatis fied, might force the garrison to capitulate with the besieger, shall be considered as contraband of war, and be subject to confiscation if laid hold of in transitu to the hands of the besieged. Arms, ammunition, and military stores, are PbviouslY , therefore, contraband of -war,—so are, and vught to be, provisions, clothing, &c. ; and since oppor•- tUnities of escape, ar of communication with, its own court or allies, might be effected easily through the ingress or egress of merchantmen, it is right that all intercourse of every descriptl4s/1 with a port under siege should be forbidden.— But how is it, or rather (the law being assumed as positive) how ought it to be, where there is no land force to inTeit a city, and no idea of re ducing it by arms ? We are somewhat doubt- ful, whether, en abstract principle, the right of blockade, as against vessels not freighted with warlike stores or articles, but merely with the fruits of peaceful industry and materials of civilized comfert, ought to be recognized in all instances where an immediate military object is not to be attained through its enforcement. We speak now of the reason—by no means of the law as it exists, but for a reason we Beek in va in—why war should be so rigorously aimed against the non-combatant and helpless part of the community, to . the greatest possible exten sion of its evil s , i ns t ea d of their greatest pos t pos sible diminution. W e h ave se ld om h eard that the distresses of wom en an d c hild ren h a d much ff resolves onth o e fwars.L of Governments be a s it mad-, o on tli Let h while other maritim e St ates decide trampling down the blockade s y s t em w h enever it suits their e : et duration u convenience, we see not that England gains, by her adherence to it, anything but gratuitous in jury when she respects it, with the risk of fresh hostility when she strives to enforce it upon others. Our merchants are suffering dreadfully from the consequences of "effective blockade. —Times. By an express which came from Constanti nople to Vienna, letters were yesterday received in the city from the first mentioned capital, dated the 6th ult. Although the tcnour of their lan guage does not upon the whole bespeak a greater disposition on the part of the Sultan to yield to the force of circumstances, than lie has all along manifested, a favourable in ference was drawl t signed . the treaty from the fact of the Grand V i zier ' s havin g been ordered to take the field, and having taken with him to his head-quarters the individual who ne ttle Grand Vizier is, front the nature of his sta tion, invested with unlimited his of every kind, it was supposed that ' presence in the army was as much mea nt to f avour the work of p acification as to conduct ne gotiated and military operations so long as these were deemed Constantinople unavoidable. It was, however, feared at by the Eu ropean residents that in the I, , event of Shumla lacing compelled to surrender, great disturbances might ensue in that capital, as the road to it would thereby be 1 left entirely open to the Rus sians • but ; E this perhaps will not, at all events . , be very soon the case it bein stated in letters from Odessa, dated 1 ' I g • t le 12t.1 ult., and written by well informed persons, that Shumla was likely to hold out some time longer, the Russian army having determined to reduce it by famine, and having resolved nett to attempt it by storm, Owing to the d e sperate defence whicli would be made by the troops shut up in the place, and amounting to fifty thousand men. Although well supplied with necessaries of all kinds, it had been calculated by the Rus sian Generals commanding the siege, that the number of persons shut up in Shumla, , altoge ther upwards of 80,000, must hasten the con sumption of the supplies, and filially lead to the reduction of the place without much spilling o of
