LONDON: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1841. The Tory Journals now unite in saying, and the Spectator echoes their assertion, that Sir ROBERT is to be a true and active Prime Minis- ter. That he may be the more at liberty to ex ercise a complete surveillance over every part of the Government, and keep in his own hands all the clues to an imperial policy which extends over half the globe, he_has separated the offices of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and First lord of the Treasury, which have been usually held in conjunction when the latter has been held by a Commoner. He is to play the lofty part of a PITT Or CHATHAM, Or a WALPOLE, and there fore he consigns the drudgery of the finances to Mr. GOULBURN. His nomination to office is to be considered as a retrocession from a species of democratic or republican Ministry to a real Royal Administration, of which he is to be the chief. The power of Government, it is averred by the Spectator, has been transferred by the consti- tuencies, not by the QUEEN, to Sir RO - BERT PEEL, and no other. Her MAJESTY has, therefore, only one master, for all the other Ministers are little better than Sir ROBERT PEEL'S clerks or ser vants. All the constituencies, it is said, have c ried out for PEEL. Away with all oth ers , and give u s PEEL ! PEEL will we have, and PEEL is therefbre the great Commoner-King of our day, the sole master of the QUEEN and the Govern- ment. The Tories and the Spectator exult at this ; we cannot. What, is there only o ne man i n t h e nation ca pable of administering its affairs, and he little better than a red•tapist? Admitting that the constituencies would have none other than PEEL, t hat they voted for PEEL, what is there hi his con duct to justify their choice ? He has been an excellent party leader, but what has he done for the constituencies and the country? He has laboured incessantly in opposition to strengthen the Tories; in what way has he served the public ? Has he in opposition forced the Ministers to be economical? Has he kept them from encroaching on the public liberties? and has he extended the privileges of the people ? No, he has not. He has encouraged extrava gance. He has aimed at l es sening the public li berties, and at p reven ti n g the eilinisterg from enlarging them. He haskept no tyranny in check, but whenever the Ministers sought in any way to be tyrannical, Sir R OBERT P EEL patted them on the back. lie has been instrumental in preserv ing all kinds of abuses. For this the constitu encies have rewarded him by bestowing on him a mastership over the first servant of a free people. That is less dishonourable to Sir RO BERT PEEL than to the constituencies. In opposition he was always the friend of aristocracy and not of the people. He belonged to the party of the House of Lords. He always stretched forth his hand to shield the Church. All its abuses found in him an advocate. lie always was on the side of the Whigs when they were in the wrong. He was for restricting the franchise in Ireland, and he resisted all measures for extending it in England. His policy was to uphold our institutions unaltered and wire proved and as the Whigs approved of our in stitutions he assailed them with the weapons they put into his hands. When they practically , , 4 4. 4 fk, t u,4.* f?.,,:p;47 , : ; m , mria% titg ffiAtit. • professed themselves Conservatives, by opposing further reform, they really gave up power to him. He and his friends, and not Lord :MEL- " BOURZi E and his friends, constitute the Conser vative party, and Lord MELBOURNE_ could only, and did only, after professing Conservatism, re tain office in subserviency to Sir ROBERT PEEL. Hence it wits that subsequent to the period when the Whigs dismissed themselves as it were from power, the current of opinion set in deci dedly favourable to PEEL. All parties in Par liament, except the few Radicals, acknowledged the necessity of a Conservative policy ; the ac knowledgment of parties in Parliament influ enced public opinion; every man who could read traced in the speeches of Sir R. PEEL, a vast su periority as a man of business and a man of in dustry to Lord. MELBOURNE, and the force that carried him into power was like that of a general law. It was a certain opinion pervading many leading minds, including the Whig Ministers, namely, that a Consevative policy was necessary, and when that opinion was vouched for by the Whigs, it was a necessary ;consequence that Sir R. PEEL should be called on to carry it out. His elevation to power has in it nothing miraculous, nothing capricious, nothing of favoritism. It is the plain result of the principle proclaimed by the Whigs. But will that principle suit the country ? We contend it will not, and we have always opposed the finality doctrines. Is the Church such .13 very useful institution that it ought to be pre served with all its abuses? Is the House of Commons the mirror of the people? Is the House of Lords a well-ordered, well-arranged senate, which deserves the confidence of en lightened men? Are all our laws as to trade so perfect that they need no improvement ? We answer no, a thousand times no; anti, latterly, when the Whigs began, from sheer necessity, to attack our commercial policy, they proved that they, on that part of the subject, had ceased to be Conservatives. _ Conservatism is a general principle, and if t will not now apply to trade, neither will it apply for a long period to the Lords, the Commons, and the Church. Lord ELDON, a consistent politi cian, resisted every change, because he was aware that all our institutions hang together, and that restrictions on trade cannot be removed without enabling fiommerce to throw the landed interest int the back ground, and the landed interest cannot be thrown into the back ground without the Church and the aristocracy being bereft of their main support. Lord ELDON'S principle still holds good, and the Minister, whatever political creed he may pro fess, who aim a blow at our commercial restric tions is not a good Conservative. The Whigs, therefore, when, they proposed commercial re form, admitted the impracticability of that Con servative policy which they gave up power to espouse. _ _ . We are not sure that the leader of the Tories is not himself practically convinced of the hope lessness of strict Conservative policy. But who ever is opposed to our fiscal regulations and commercial restrictions is, in fact, opposed to Con servative policy. In fact, while both parties pro fess Conservative principles, they also both practically admit the impossibility of car rying out the Conservative policy. We feel confident, therefore, that it is no longer suitable to the circumstances of the age, and that the most intimate union of the two parties in Parliament, could that take place, would not suffice to carry Conservative policy into effect. The nation must go forward or go to decay ; and those who are such determined Con servatives that they will not amend our tariff should prohibit the formation of railways and the building of steam-ships. It does not say much for the constituencies, in our opinion, that they have carried a man into power who has never conferred any benefit on them, except they be benefited by the pre servation of abuses, and who professes an imprac ticable policy. The cause of his elevation, how ever, is not confidence in him, but mistrust of others. The Ministers for the time being, let them be ivuu ing laws into execution which general opinion pronounces to be erroneous or mischievous. Those who administer them become invested with the attributes of the law, and thus the very ex ercise of power, under our present system of legislation, involves the loss of public confidence. This is now the case with the Whigs, and the public reject them. The Tories are now to begin to carry the same laws into execution, and ere long the public will withdraw its confidence from Sir ROBERT PEEL. The dismissal of the Whigs, therefore, is the certain beginning of the public mistrust in him and his policy. For ten years the Whigs have stood between the democracy and the aristocracy, and protected the latter. When the Tories again lose power the Whigs will not again be allowed to throw their shield over the public enemies ; and hence the over throw of the Whigs, brought about by the Tories, will ere long end in the complete overthrow of the Conservative principles. At any rate we have a thorough conviction of the truth of our own principles, and we cannot for one moment despair of their complete, speedy, and triumphant success. We have accused the Whigs of neglecting their party interests, and the elections conse quent on the acceptance of office by the new Mi nisters will confirm or invalidate our charge. If Sir RORERT PEEL be allowed to come in unop posed for Tamworth, if Lord STANLEY walk over the course in Lancashire, if Sir EDWARD KNATCLIBULL be re-elected for East Kent without opposition, if Sir JAMES GRAHAM be not disturbed in Dorchester, if Exeter be not won from Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT, we shall conclude that the Whigs have made up their minds to succumb completely to the Tories and give up all party ties. .In all these places, by dint of exertion, they might find a large party in their favour, and though they might not suc ceed in the first instance, they would gain strength, and form a party which would ulti mately be successful. Letters from Constantinople of the 17th ult. state that instructions were sent on that day to the CAPITAN PACHA. at Candia, who had not then completed the subjugation of the Sphakiote mountaineers. The Peiki Schevket steamer, which was to convey these instructions to the Turkish Admiral, was laden with military stores fur the purpose of arming the Osmanlis, who have all made their submission to the SULTAN. This measure is more likely than any other to make the Greeks desperate. Only a few weeks have elapsed since thousands of them voluntarily delivered up their arms to the PACIIA, on the faith of the most solemn promises of protection; and now to put arms in the hands of the exas perated Turks falls little short of directly sanc tioning the slaughter of the defenceless objects of their fear and hate. The population of the whole island of Candia is estimated at 180,000 inhabi tants; of these 150,000 are Greeks, so that of native Turks there are barely 30,000 in the whole island. The Turks occupy the fortresses and rich acid fertile plains of the island, the Greeks were early driven to the mountains, where they maintained a sort of wild indepen- dente, which they did not entirely lose even after the Porte had, in 1826, bestowed the go vernment of Candia upon MEHEMET Art. During the Greek Revolution the intervention of the Great Powers was required to pre vent the Candiotes from achieving their independence ; nor have they ever since abandoned the prospect of sooner or later break ing the fetters which subjected them to the tyranny of a race of unbelievers more ignorant than themselves. Although the sway established by MEHEMET ALI over Candia was not SO op- Prebbive as that of the PORTE, yet so anxious were the Christian inhabitants for freedom, and so impatient were they of the state of thraldom in which they were held, that the VICEROY was • compelled to keep a force of from 8,000 to 9,000 men constantly in the garrisons of the island, independently of the Turkish militia. When the Treaty of the 15th July deprived MEHEMET ALI of Candia, the PORTE had not provided for the government of the island in accordance with the genius of the people, and the relative strength of the two races occupying it. The same blind course which it is now pursuing in Syria, it adopted in Candia. Instead of allowing MUBTAPHA PACHA, who, under MEHEMET ALI, governed the island tranquilly by discouraging the system of rapine which the Turks were everywhere pursuing, to remain at the head of the Administration, a succession of Governors were appointed, whose arrogance and insatiable avarice filled the Greeks with alarm, and drove them to take up arms once more to effect their independence. Letters from Constantinople of the 7th ult. led us to believe that the Candiotes were completely crushed for the present ; but advices of a date ten days later apprise us that a formidable body of them still occupies the almost impassable passes of the Sphakiote ridge of mountains. In arming the Turkish population, the Porte is preparing the way for a war of extermination. The Turks once armed, will not restrain the indulgence of their brutal passions; and the Greeks, fighting for their lives, the inviolability of their wives and daughters, and their hearths and altars, will show no mercy. It is surely the duty of the Christian Governments of Europe to take upon themselves the tranquilization of Candia. Al ready have the Candiote insurgents implored their protection, and offered to submit to their award. Generosity, humanity, the very welfare of Turkey itself, demands that their prayers should not be rejected. The Paris Journals of Sunday have all reached us. The Journal des Debats devotes an article to the accession of the Tories to office, in which it states that Sir ROBERT PEEL is not only the leader but the master of his party—that in the Cabinet his will is as absolute as his majo rity in the House of Commons. Has the Debuts read the significant speech of the Duke of RICHMOND ? That champion of monopoly boasts in the House of Lords that the agricultu rists have fastened a halter round the neck of the Cabinet, and if it prove restive, the men who gave it an existence will strangle it. The old Tories are not the men to follow in the wake of the leader, who, of all others, most deceived them. The most interesting part of the article in the Debats is the following sketch of the late distinguished Premier:— " The favour with which the Queen honours Lord Melbourne gives offence to nobody, for it is well known that political ambition does not disturb his mind. Gifted with the most inoffensive character in Great Britain, Lord Melbourne is generally liked by both parties, and this will be still more the case when he shall be no longer Minister. He is now sixty-three years of age, and the native good nature of his mind is imprinted on his face. The Queen has a strong affection for Lord Mel bourne, and his position at Court will not give umbrage to any person. He will now have all the enjoy ments of the Court, without the responsibility 9f Govern ment; not, indeed, that he bore any ,considerable share of it, for the Cabinet of Lord Melbourne might with more propriety have been called that of Lord John Rus sell, who was its presiding genius. As to Lord Mel bourne, he had always an air of astonishment when asked a question as Prime Minister in the House of Lords, and invariably replied, I really don't know, but I will inquire.' His last speech on the Address was very characteristic. Everybody, except Lord Melbourne knew beforehand that a motion of censure was intended in both Houses ; but Lord Melbourne rose, and in the most serious manner in the world, confessed that the mo tion had come on him like a thunder-clap." We stated some days ago that the French brig La Victorieuse had been detained by the Spa nish authorities at Mahon. The Commerce in alluding to it has the following remarks : " The insult put upon our flag has created a great sensa tion, the consequences of which it is impossible to fore see. France must act with energy. Negotiations are useless. By fair or harsh means we must get back La Victorieuse. Spain, perhaps, will not give in, and as England has, for a long time, looked about for a pretext to take possession of the Balearic islands, she, by her in terference, will, no doubt, aggravate the question, and thus the matter may become a very serious one for France." In this way French journals write about sub jects of which they know nothing. Now, the fact is, that La Victorieuse was not detained by the opamsu -..aiorities, nor was the shadow of an insult offered to the French flag at Mahon or elsewhere. The Toulon Sentinelle de la Marine of the 2d inst. contains the following : " By a telegraphic despatch, which will shortly be followed by another, explanatory of the same, six vessels, names as follow, under the orders of Rear-Admiral Cary, are to sail for Brest within a fortnight : " Jena (Admiral's ship), Suffrein, Jupiter, Marengo, Triton, and Scipion." A letter from Barcelona, in the Sud de Marseilles, and dated the 28th ult., says " All the French men-of-war have received orders to put out to sea, without any knowledge of their destina tion. The Commanders are to open their despatches only when they are at sea." The reported determination of the United States Government to increase the tariff on foreign goods twenty per cent., has called forth a remonstrance on the part of the French Envoy at Washington, of which the following is the conclusion : " The Secretary of the Treasury, in his report of the 2d of June, proposed to Congress a duty of 20 per cent. ad valorem upon all the articles mentioned in the 4th section of the compromise of the 2d March, 1833. " The 26th of August, 1810, the United StatA concluded with Portugal a treaty, the third article of which leaves no doubt that the advantages granted to French wines by the United States, will cease in the month of February next. This state of things, so unfavourable to French trade, would be so much aggravated by the adoption of the plan pro posed by the Secretary of the Treasury, that it would become impossible for the French Government to with stand at once the complaints of its shipowners against the treaty of navigation of 19Q2 ; of its wine merchants against the consequences of the treaty with Portugal ; and of its manufacturers against the duties imposed upon their productions. " The French Government would, I repeat with the most sineero regret, find itself under the absolute ne cessity of annulling the Convention of 1822, and alsa the reduction of 50 per cent. on the cotton (called long staple), the produce of the United States, since the exe cution of the treaty of July, 1831. " Whatever may be the price which France attaches to the maintenance of a good understanding with the United States, the French Government must withdraw the concessions made in return for advantages in the Union markets ; so soon as those advantages are not only effaced by the projected changes in American legis lation, but also replaced by measures prejudicial to the interests of French productions imported to the United States." The following extracts from the French Jour nals of Sunday include all the miscellaneous news they publish of any general interest : The projected expedition of the Porte against Tunis attracts attention and inspires uneasiness. The France having asserted that Lord Palmerston had delivered to Mr. Bulwer a sharp note protesting against any inter vention of the French Government in a dispute between the Sultan and his vassal, the Bey of Tunis, and de claring that if France took any part in the affair England would espouse the Sultan's cause, the Courrier Francais remarks, that it was quite true that a serious misunder standing had broken out between the London and Paris Cabinets, but that it does not believe threats had been used towards France. It was said, indeed, that the appearance of a Turkish fleet in the waters of Tunis would certainly be the signal of a conflict be tween the naval firces of England and France; but it was added, continues the Courrier, that England feel ing that it was not becoming in her at this moment to assume an attitude of provocation, was endeavouring to dissuade the Porte from this expedition. " However this may be," concludes the Courrier, "if the expedition took place, the most cowardly could not retreat, and if England intends a blow at our influence on the coast of Africa, at the very gates of Algiers, M. Guizot himself could not allow our flag to be dishonoured." The Emancipati on o f Toulouse of Sept. 2 says—" The Journal is Pays, published at Auch, is going to be pro secuted, on the ground of having excited to opposition of the law, for having published, at the head of its number of 31st August, an article advising the tax payers to keep their doors closed against the revenue officers, and copied, if not the expression, at least the substance, from that which the Emancipation has so often printed." It seems that the garrison of Toulouse is going to be reduced, and gradually brought back to its regular esta• blishment. According to a report which gains groc in the Staffs, several corps will remove within ten days, having received orders to leave the city. M. Alphonse Colin is appointed Commissary of Police at Toulouse, in the room of M. Lenermant. The Semaphore of Marseilles announces the death of Silero Pellico :—" We have before us," says the journal, " an afflicting letter from his friend Count Porro, who was present at the last moments of the illustrious author of the Prisons." —Le Constitutionnel. The Courier Francais Says For some days past a report has been circulated which we find it difficult to believe. It is affirmed that the Ministry thinks of punishing the Municipal Council of Paris for the several decisions which it has adopted respecting the mode of ; executing the census trap t ibyed by the Government. It is added, that itnftiecliately after the Session of Council- General of the Departments, the Municipal Council of the Seine will be dissolved."—Le Commerce. The King has given 500 f. towards the monument which is to be erected at Bordeaux, by public subscription to the memory of the late M. Henri Fonfrede. The Minister of Public Instruction has named M. Leclerc, President of the Academy of Inscription, Messrs. Hase, Reynaud, and Libri, of the Institute, and M. Danton, chief of the secretariat in the department of public instruction, to be members of the Committee for drawing up the general catalogue of MSS. in all the public collections of France, those of Paris excepted. The Hungarian papers state that the creation of a national Hungarian Bank at Pesth has been authorised by the Austrian Government. The Swedish Government has issued an interdiction against the publication of any translation from the German of Strauss's " Life of Christ." The Impartial of Smyrna relates that soon after sun set, on the 15th ult., a bright meteor passed across the western horizon, leaving behind it two . zi;-zag trains of great length, of paler hue, which lasted several mi nutes. The superstitious portion of the people considered the phenomenon as indicating the approach of some re markable event. The report of the Committee on the affair of the Con vents of Argau was made to the Swiss Diet in its sitting of the 30th ult. It is as follows :—lst. The convents, respecting which the decree of suppression of Argau is to be regarded as null, shall have all their constitutional rights restored ; 2d. The three opinions annexed to the present report, as to the convents to be re-established in their rights, as also the opposite opinion of a single member of the Committee, shall be submitted to the deliberation of the Diet ; 3d. If the affair cannot be de cided during the present session, the Diet shall adjourn to the 1 1 thOctober, for the discussion of the question. M. Neuhaus, President of the Diet, recommended that this body should declare itself satisfied with the conces sions of the Canton of Argau. The opinions alluded to above were modifications of the opinions of the majority, more or less in favour of the radical party in Argau. There was little doubt that the question would be ad journed, as the Berne papers state. HAMBURG BORSENHALLE, Sen. 3. Bills. Mnney Austrian 5 per Cents.

Sept. 1 We have letters and papers from Madrid o the 30th ult. Queen CHRISTINA having it no longer in her power to appropriate to her own use and that of her minions the proceeds of the Royal domains, the Government is now employing them in adorning the Royal palaces, gardens, parks, and pleasure-grounds, and in placing everything about the person of the young QUEEN upon the most magnificent footing. The Palaces of La Granja and Aron juez which the QUEEN MOTHER ,ba4 ,allowed to fall into a state of ruin, that she thigh t' appro priate the money set apart for their. rep'air's, are being elegantly fitted up, and the approaches to them improved and enlarged. Trees and shrubs from the Island of Cuba, and exotics flora South America, are sent for to embellish the pleasure-. grounds. The efforts of France to gain an entire ascen dancy in the Councils of Spain are not seconded by the whole of the Madrid press, as we gather from the following extracts from an article in the Eco del Commercio : " Everything combines to induce Spain to aim at being on friendly terms with Great Britain. She has witnessed the evils as well as the sterility arising to her from the alliance with France, whilst she cannot forget that whenever a question has arisen involving Spanish nationality, when it has become a question of territorial integrity, of independence, sr of her liber ties, the colours of Great Britain have invariably undu lated by the side of ours. Its co-operation and assist ance in ships, arms, ammunition, soldiers, clothing, and money have ever been ready in order to contribute to the attainment of the noble object the nation had in view. The policy of Great Britain, so vast in its views, so powerful in its results, whether directed by Whigs or Tories, was invariably opposed to French policy ; and everything likely to lead to emancipate us from the latter will find the most energetic and sincere support in the Cabinet of St. James's. " From which we deduce-Ist, That the Salic law and family compact imported from France enslaved the nation and made it dependent ; 2dly, That, as well under the reign of the principal branch of the Bourbons in France, as in the times of the Re public, tee znipire, the Restoration, or of the Orleans dynasty, the tendency of the French Cabinet has ever been to influence our policy and dispose of our re sources; idly, That France has occasioned us evils of vast consequence, compelling us to take part in all its quarrels, interfering in our internal affairs, and making a cruel war on us, when we were not condescending; 4thly, That our alliance with Great Britain, whilst it favours our political regeneration, interferes with the views as well as with the future fate of France—and, lastly, that the bad Spaniards are united to the intrigues of the French Cabinet, and appear as if charged with misleading public opinion as well as with the bringing about a quarrel with our ally." EXPRESS FROM PARIS The Moniteur Parisien of Monday contradicts the report of the detention of the French frigate Victorieuse by the authorities of Mahon, and adds, that the evacuation of the military hospital on the Island Del Rey by the French had taken place without any difficulties being raised on the part of the Spanish authorities, who had been full of attention to the French invalids. The Sentinelle de Toulon, referring to this re port, observes that it was an absurdity to believe that a well-armed corvette, of 24 guns, manned with a brave crew, would suffer herself to be locked up in such a place as Port Mahon, and that the Regent 9f Spain, who was not disposed to go to war for trifles, would order a measure without example in the annals of civilised nations. Count D'Appony, the Austrian Ambassador, was on the point of leaving Paris on a conge from his Government. The Baron de Thom would, as Minister Plenipotentiary. conduct the business of the Embassy in the absence of the Count. A Tunisian steamer arrived at Marseilles on the Ist inst. having on board the Chevalier Raffo, Prime Minister of the Bey of Tunis. Advices from Algiers, of the 30th ult., state that an expedition on the Hadjoute territory had been postponed in consequence of heavy rains which had deluged the ground, and rendered it totally impracticable. According to the Moniteur Algerein,_ the ap pointment of Hadj-Mustapha Oalid Osman to the Beylick of Mossaganein had been hailed with the liveliest satisfaction by the tribes inhabiting the banks of the Cheliff, numbers of whom had submitted to his authority. On hearing that the Emperor of IMorocco had ordered two small ships of war on a eruize (their destination was said to be the coast of Portugal), the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Holland had sent notice to the Chamber of Commerce at Am sterdam, recommending that although there were no reasons for suspecting the Morocco Govern ment of entertaining hostile intentions towards the Netherlands, Captains of ships bound to the East Indies or the Mediterranean should furnish themselves with Turkish passports. The Commerce publishes a letter from Athens, of the 24th ult., stating that the Hellenic Com mittee were exerting themselves to revive the Candiot insurrecti on , an d that the Greek Jour nals in the pay of Russia openly preached a crusade against th e T ur k s . The English and French Minister s h a d r emonstrated with the Greek Government for not repressing those de monstrations, which impeded the consolidation of peace in the east. The King of Hanover had left Ems and passed through Cologne on the Ist on his way to his capital. The Prussian Government had deputed Gene ral Von Holchen, Inspector of the Fortresses of the Germanic Confederacy, to attend the camp of Compeigne. Several Prussian officers were to accompany him. M. Thiers arrived at Frankfort on the Ist in stant, proceeding to Wurtzburg. The French funds rose in Paris on Monday, in consequence of an article of a very pacific cha ratter which appeared in La Presse. The Actives were done at Madrid on the 30t1 ult. at 26 tbr cash. rid ACTIVITY OF THE MARKET LOOKERS.— The Market lookers on Wednesday last seized and threw into the river Croal, about 5,000 herrings in a putrid state, which had been offered for sale in the fish market, and yesterday they seized nearly 1,000 herrings, in Little Bolton in even a worse condition, and also the greater portion of a cow, that had died of the distemper.—Boltcn Free Press. - - • .CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE. — There is at pre sent in the possession of Mr. Archibald Bell, Melrose, a lien, which has, for three successive Sears, changed the colour of its plumage.

There is some talk of another serious misunderstand ing between France and England. The Porte is sending a naval expedition agethist; the Bey of Tunis, the Sultan's vassal. rrance has engaged to protect the Bey, and Eng land has bound herself to uphold the dominion of the Porte. If, therefore, the Divan persevere, a hostile col lision between the English and French fleets is regarded as certain. This is distressing news, if true. We have already risked enough for Turkey, seeing the mode in which she governs Syria. The Government ought to dis suade the Porte from any attack on Tunis. Rear-Admiral Cay has received orders to sail for Brest in a fortnight, in command of the following ships of war :—The Jena, the Suffrein, the Marengo, the Triton, and the Scipion. A letter from Barcelona of the 28th ult. says—" All the French men-of-war have received orders to put out to sea without any knowledge of their destination. The commanders are to open their despatches only when they are at sea." The French Minister of Marine is partial to sealed instructions. They have before been issued when a cruize for exercise in the Mediterranean was only intended. Possibly on this occasion the destination of the fleet may be Tunis. The Emperor of Morocco has given orders to the Ad miral of the two ships of war bearing his flag, not to molest any vessel bearing the British or Hansiatic flag. Such respect for our flag on the part of his Moorish Majesty calls for the grateful acknowledgment of the First Lord of the Admiralty. Spare our flag while at the head of a fleet of two ships of war ? What magna nimity ! On the 16th ult. a Swedish Captain in the Baltic fell in with a Russian squadron consisting of nine ships of the line, carrying from 80 to 100 guns, two of which carried Admiral's flags ; three frigates, and a large brig. Nothing is said of their destination. There is no truth in the report that the Spanish authorities at Mahon detained a French brig. Chevalier Raffo, Prime Minister of the Bey of Tunis, has arrived in France. This looks as if a collision be tween the Porte and the Bey was apprehended. The Hellenic Committee is doing all in its power to support the cause of the Greek insurgents in Candia. The French and English Governments are said to re commend Greece to observe a strict neutrality. verned its distribution—has not been almost eiftlrtsively conferred on turbulent political members of their divii communion,"—The affectation of political liberality at thnbjetiqeffient of the above passage com es w ith a peculiar ill-gfae4 fiord the Times, which, but the other day, recommended the carrying matters with a high hand in Ireland.

Though the Leicester trade is far from being in a healthy condition, yet a considerable business is doing in goods: At Stockport the prospects of the working classes are gloomy in the extreme. At this moment 2,000 factory operatives are out of employ, and the number will in crease. Emigration to America is the last resort of many. At the Hull docks on Wednesday week, dock dues were paid on forty vessels arriving at this port, being the largest number ever known in one day. They were principally laden with grain. PARLIAMENTARY. Me OW. .1,•• The parties in the two Houses last night changed their places, the Duke of Wellington and the Tories occupy ing the Ministerial, and Viscount Melbourne and the Whigs occupying the Opposition benches. Lord Lyndhurst took his seat on the Woolsack. The Administration of Justice Bill went through a Committtee. On the Report, Lord Brougham proposed an amend ment not to allow more than one additional Chancellor, which was negatived. Lord Campbell moved to insert words which would ensure the eligibility of Irish barristers of fifteen years' standing under the Bill, but he consented to postpone it. The Duke of 'Wellington promised the Earl of Wick low, in calling his attention to the subject, that he would inform his Right Hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Home Department, of the fact that the punishment of Death Bill was not extended to Ireland. In the Commons the Tories mustered in considerable force; the Whig Radicals were but few. That Mr. Wakley kept his old seat amongst the Tories was un doubtedly a mistake. A number of election petitions were presented. Lord Scarborough's IndeMnity Bill was passed through all its stages. Dr. Bowring and Mr. Roebuck severally gave'nOtite3 of motion Telative-to, Tariff and the Correspoudenc s o concerning M - ocl. No new'ivr4were moved for as some persons seem to have expected: " That cannot be done till the Bth. Both Houses rose at an early hour. The new writs, consequent upon several members having accepted office, cannot be moved for until Wed nesday, it being required that there should be fourteen clear days after the formal opening of Parliament, and the issuing of new writs, in order to afford time for elec tion petitions to be previously presented. It is at present understood that on Wednesday, after the new writs have been moved for, the House will be adjourned till Monday week, to afford time for the re-elections ; that then there will be some unopposed money grants, and a continuation of the Poor-law Act for a short period, as it would otherwise wholly expire. This business having been got through, it is expected that the Parliament will be then prorogued, with a view to its re-opening by her Majesty, with a speech from the throne. The Lords will be also adjourned, and for the like period. In the Lords, last night, some slight laughter was caused by the Duke of Sutherland, who, on entering the House, went to the place he usually occupied on the Ministerial side, took his seat, and did not seem to find out his mistake until he saw some of the ex-Ministers op posite to him. The Noble Duke enjoyed the joke to which his error gave rise, and made his way to the other side, along the front of the Ministerial bench, every Minister on which good-humouredly shook hands with him as he passed. Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Sussex and Cambridge were present during the sit ting, and sat together for some time. Both the Royal Dukes appeared in excellent health and spirits. PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Post assigns the following reasons for the accession of the Tories to power :—" Highly us we esteem the Conservatives, we do not deem it necessary. - - :o ascribe their elevation to power to any supernatural means. We do think that the effectyonies:by eause, and that cause the old and accustomed one for the ac- cession of any party to the powers and responsibilities of British Government, namely, the constitutionally-ex pressed preference of the people, to which preference it bas plea . sed the Sovereign to give effect. The Consery a Lives have not gained power by a triumph over the peo ple and the Crown, but by the choice of the people and the .._ Constitutional concurrence of the Sovereign in tliat choice." —lt is not true that the Tories have gained power by the choice of the people. They have gained it by the folly and supineness of the Whigs, aided by their own dexte rous electioneering tactics, and the neglect of the Liberal party to attend properly to the registrations. The people are still—what they have been for the last twelve years and upwards—Anti-Tory at heart ; and only just en dure the new Ministry from a hope that it will stultify its nature by adopting a liberal and enlightened policy. We need scarcely add that this hope will be disappointed. The Peel Cabinet will pursue the stand-still system of legislation, and make it its greatest boast that it does not retrograde. The Advertiser states the following as a fact, for the accuracy of which it pledges itself—" Are there still to be found persons in the country who incline to the notion that Sir Robert Peel contemplated an anti-Corn law line of policy ? If so, we beg to inform them—and we pledge ourselves for the accuracy of the information— that the Duke of Buckingham declared a few days since, in the Carlton Club, in the presence of a number of per sons, that Sir Robert Peel before he (the Duke of Buck ingham); would consent to take office, had completely sa tisfied him on the subject of the Corn-laws. This is decisive." —We never supposed that Sir Robert Peel—saddled as he is with two such embarrassing burdens as the Duke of Buckingham and Sir E. Knatchbull—would make any alteration in the Corn-laws worth having. The utmost we expected from him was, that he would amend them in the same fashion that the Irishman mended his blanket—that is to say, by taking a piece off at the head, and clapping it on at the tail. But let the present rain continue but a few days longer, and, whether the Bucking ham and Knatchbuli's like it or not, Sir Robert Peel must either convert to make a sweeping alteration in the Corn-laws, or else request another " eight minutes " in terview with her Majesty, in order to tender his resig nation. The Herald is beset with uneasy apprehensions lest the people should expect an over. dose of Reform from the Tamworth quack-doctor and his apprentices. Now our Contemporary need not be at all uneasy on this point. The people take a very proper measure of Sir Robert Peel as a Reformer ; and having given him the fair trial which he has been so long clam - nu — ring for, will just reward him according to his deserts. He will be allowed ample rope enough, and if the usual proverbial result should . follow, we are by no means prepared to contend that the affliction of the country will be Of a very heart-rending character. We subjoin the - Herald's remarks : —" If the public, from their abounding confidence in, and habitual respect and personal regard for, the chief of the Conservative party, should be apt to expect the ac complishmenr of more beneficial objects of foreign po licy and domestic amelioration within a given period than can possibly be realised in so limited a term, the Queen's present Ministers and their supporters are bound to re gard the very extravagance of the expectation as an in voluntary compliment to the integrity of their purposes." The following is from the Chronicle:—" The political friends of all liberal policy have been much too supine. They have grumbled, and with excellent reason, at the vexatiousness of the registration system ; but meanwhile their opponents have turned all the capabilities and all the vices of that system to account. As we have more than once shown, the late elections have been turned, and the Tory and monopolist majority obtained, not by the desertion of Liberal voters, who have generally brought undiminished numbers to the poll, but by Tory additions to the registers. The landlords grow votes upon their broad fields, as thick as any other kind of crop. Besides the tricks and chicanery which no honest poli tician will imitate, Toryism is largely indebted to its legal manufacture of votes. It sees for how many safe ones every inch of property is good."— In addition to these malign influinces exerted by the Tories during the late elections, we may mention their intimidation and exclusive dealing system, which they practised to a rigorous excess, and by which they ex torted the votes of many timid Reformers. They knew that the election was a question of life or death to them, and stuck at nothing to carry their point. Well, they have succeeded, and are now " Thane, Cawdor, Glammis, all ;" and it may be added with perfect truth that they " have played most foully for it l" The Times says :—" Far are we from insisting that Protestants shall be the exclusive occupants of place and trust in Ireland. Give us individuals cordially attached to the existing constitution of the empire, as admi nistered by a Government willing, on all fair grounds, to avoid giving the slightest offence to any portion of the population ;—and, whether these in dividuals be Roman Catholics or not, by all means let them be promoted to the offices for which, if properly recommended, their character and abili ties may fit them. But Earl Fortescue, we are bound to declar. - 2, has followed no such impartial rule. Nay, we appeal to candid Roman Catholics themselves to say, 1 , t ether his Lordship's patronage — now that they can es 7 1 . to the sordid designs which go- AGRICULTURAL. ------- _ _ _ The heavy rains of Sunday night and Monday morn• ing caused the Devon to rise to an alarming height, sub merging all the fields and meadows contiguous to the stream.

Detachments of the 11th Regiment succeed the Rifle Brigade at Newport, which latter are expected to be ordered to Ireland. The second bat Ilion of the Rifle Brigade has arrived at Bristol from Wales, and troops now on their march, will be distributed at Usk, Port-y-pool, Cardiff, Swansea, and Montgomeryshire. COURT—FASIEXONAILLE. The Duke of Newcastle intends to leave Hafod in South Wales about the middle of the next month for Clumber Park, Nottinghamshire. The Marquis of Londonderry has arrived in town from Wynyard Park. The Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne arrived in town yesterday from a visit to Woburn Abbey. The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland arrived at Powis Castle on Friday last. Lord Beresford is reported to be going gn favourably. The Earl and Countess of Chesterfield leave town to day for Leamington. MISCELLANEOUS. The Navigation Committee, with Mr. Walker the en gineer, and Mr. Cubitt, the builder,• surveyed last week the banks of the river above Vauxhall-bridge, and laid down a line of embankment, which will be the cause of very extensive improvements to the metropolis.

Money in the Stock Exchange seems tighter to-day, and the Unfunded Debt is lower in consequence, The feeling of the tea-trade, it was expected, would have been correctly ascertained to-day by the manner in which the public sales went off, but as the holders will not at present make any further re duction, considering the decline that has already oc curred, quite as much has been done as circumstances will justify. Scarcely any business has been done, and a good portion has been withdrawn. We may, therefore, call the market firmer. _ _ _ Consols Account, 898 00 ; Spanish, 22 *; but little doing, and no transactions in any of the other Foreign Funds. THE MARKETS-THIS DAY.

SIR—We find The Sun of Monday contains a com plaint from Colonel Napier of our having advertised the above Essay as written for the Vindicator. In explana tion, permit us to state that, whilst the Essay was in the possession of the Dublin Law Institution, Col. Napier promised us the publication of it in our Paper ; and when the copy was brought to our office, we found, in the Colonel's writing, " For the Vindicator " written • upon it. This, we conceive, conveyed the Colonel's permission to 'us to announce it as " written for the Vindicator." _ Ve - ;Cb regret the misunderstanding upon the sub ject, and utterly disavow any intention to " deceive" the public. Colonel Napier having permitted us to publish the Essay in our Paper, it was not a matter of great im port to us whether it was written for our Paper or not. We would on no account wilfully misuse the name of any gentleman so highly respected by us as Col. Napier. We are, your's obediently, VINCENT AND PHILP. 1, Chandos-buildings, Bath, Sept. 7.
