rOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From, the Gazette de Trance of Jan. 27.) " CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 31.-4 have already told you that the Porte had. thought it very im portant to receive a communication of the full powers which authorized the Ambassadors to quit Constan tinople, and that it did not grant them passports, because it considered tho friendly relations between it and the three Pow ors as still subsisting, and the depaiture of the Ambassadors as a temporary mea sure. You 'Know, too, that the Porte made some proposals to N. de Ribeaupierre just before his de parture, which he did not think himself audio-. rized to receive after the departure of his col leagues, though they in some meacere agreed Ivi:11. the Treaty - of. London. It is now said that the Porte - has drawn . up a kind of memorial on the negotia tions, which, together with the note complaining of the conduct"'~-"--'-;.nit intends to trans mits tltr ougl l ."SiWaiNtri;‘:7,, the Courts of Paris, Lur , don, and St. Petersbu ,... l' ‘' It fancies that, notwithstanding • parture sof the Ambassadors, ,no formal rupturela4o be 'reared, and that as soon as the memorial hest-M- o *d the three Cabinets, all difficulties will be removed. It seems too, that since the Austrian Court has re fused the part of tnedintor ' proposed in the Grand Vizir's letter, the Aust r ian Internuneio continues his efforts to induce the Porte to , --yield, but does not take any active part in the negotiations. " TRIF,STE, JAN. 14.—Lord Cochrane is now arriving off Navarin, where he may greatly distress the Egyptians, by intercepting thc:e provisions. It is said that Ibrahim has resolved to employ all his vessels that are still fit for sea to convey his troops back to Alexandria, under the protection of one of the European squadrons. " Official notice was to-day given on our Ex change, that notice had• been received from the. Austrian Consul at Smyrna, that he had received a declaration front the Representatives of the three Allied Courts, announcing that the case provided for by the treaty of London having occurred—viz. that one of the two belligerent Powers would not accept the armistice,—they had decided, in the spirit of the treaty, that every conveyance of troops ,ammtinition, and provisions to the Greek ports, to • he continent, end the islands, must be prohibited."

A. fitting, orwin ning, of a peculiar and in teresting kind, is now in progress at Stoneyhill, near InvereSk, in part, of the very valuable and extensive .coal-fields belonging to the Earl of Wernyss,.. of which Sir John Hope of Pinkie, Bart, is the lessee. The depth of the engine pit • kir the draining of the mines, be- - 90 fathoms, or 540 feet, - to the jewel coal ; and at 30 rathoms above this coal is the splint coal. Both Seams are about six feet thick, and are well known to bc - of excellent quality. The winning is hu such progress that the splint coal will be .ready for the market in a few months. The. engine, from its gigantic size, and the beauty of the workmanship, would well repay the trouble - of a journey from 'Edinburgh to see it. - It is upon 'Watt and - Bolton's prin ciple- for raising water, - being what is . termed a single p ower , or th ree va l ve d eng i ne . The. steam cylinder is SO .inches' in diameter, the working bane) of the-pumps is 16 inches; the east iron. beam, which is formed of two plates, -weighs with its appendages' about 2 . tons ! This immense machine, which -is calculated to perform 15 strokes of 8 feet each per minute, must be of at least 160-horse power. But upon the suppo sition that -it performs 12 strokes per mi nute in common, it will discharge at the surface from this _depth of 90 fathoms, a column of water of 16. niches in diameter, or at the rate of 890 imperial gallons per minute, a quantity suf ficient to turn a -considerable mill, and large enough for the entire consumption of Edinburgh and Leith. The engine is the largest in Scot land, and even larger than any upon the English collieries, shewing in a strong point of view the enterprising spirit with which the business of mining is now conducted in this country. The new fitting of Stoney-hill colliery is to be exe cuted upon a plan hitherto unexampled in Scot land. The coals are not to he drawn per pendicularly upward through a pit or shaft, but a tunnel or culvert is now making, from the surface of the ground descend ing obliquely along the slanting face of the rock, to the bottom of the engine pit, on which a railway is to be made, so that by means of a steam-engine placed at the mouth of the tunnel, the waggons loaded with coals will be drawn up to the surface, and sent directly on ward by the Dalkeith Railway. The coals will thus be delivered at Edinburgh in the original packages into which they were put under ground, without being once tumbled out or shifted.— These mining operations have been projected, and are now carrying forward by Mr. John Grieve, mining engineer, with a degree of spirit and suc cess which do him much credit in the line of his profession.—Scotsman. INDEPENDENT GAS COMPANY.--The Half yearly nuaing of the Proprietors of this Company, was held yesterday, at the City of London Tavern. Joszraa GRATTON, Esq. in the Chair. The Secretary read the Report of the Board of Directors, from which it appeared that their affairs had assumed a very favourable aspect, and the directors recommended a dividend at the rate of five per cent. per annum, for the last half-year, out of the pro tits of the Company, which announcement was received with acclamation by the Proprietors. A young man named LAURIE, while reading to bis mother on Sunday evening last, complained of being auddenly seized with a pain in his breast ; he immediately fell forward and expired. A young lady at Bridgend died suddenly- tbe same day ; and ou that morning a married woman, in the Meal Venuel, who had retired to rest in good health on Saturday evening., was found dead in her bed.— Perth Couriir. EXTRAORDINAItY FACT.------A foal, only six months old, the property of Mr. WILLIA,I CA ME, of macash, ,pari:ll of Killinchy, was lately observed to have a large udder, and on the Ist inst. the udder being pressed, produced a quantity of milk; since which it has been ne reEsary t o h a ve the foal milked 'several times each day, to prevent the teat from being hafted.-- 117We/ford Chronicle. ROBBERY AND D4EADFUL MURDER.— Eirly this (Sunday) morning, about two o'clocle,the neigh ' bout and watchmen in Marlborough - buildings were . alarmed by the reports of pistols and repeated cries of murder, which were found to proceed Irons a window of No. 16, in the above-named buildings. On the arrival of the watch men and others, a dreadful spectacle presented itsa The servant--a fine young woman, nearly 30 years of ag e __4„ lying on the floor in the kitchen, with her throat cut from ear to ear, quite •tlead. The servant who had fired the pistols was ill his bed-room, and the d oor screwed together. The servant was awakened by th e noise of the screwing, and filed first of all through the key hole. The thieves, -it appears, nothing daunted by this, bad not only committed the horrid murder above described, but had regaled themselves with what wines and spirits they could meet with au the kitchen, and packed up reve al things ready to carry oft': but, in consequence of the arrival spike watchmen and some of the neighbours, it is supposed that they decamped without any plunder. Tile murderers had left a large bludgeon by the side of their victim. The increase of crime is really dreadful to con template. Our paper of this week presents a most fright ful catalogue ; added to which are many petty larcenies which we have not noticed,—Bath Journal, TO THE FREEHOLDERS OF THE COUNTY OF DURHAM. GENTLEMEN, N receiving intelligence of the steps taken on my behalf by my relation, Mr. C. Tennyson, I did not lose an instant in returning to England. If the kind support of which he has shewn me the proofs, should ultimately place me in the proud station of your Representative in Parliament, it would be the object of my life to chew that I am as anxious to discharge its important duties as to obtain the distinguished honour which I now seek at your hands. I am aware that my continuance in that station must depend upon the manner in which I justify the confidence reposed in me ; and, be assured, Gentlemen, I shall not, by abusing it, betray myself into any deserved loss of your favour. I shall iinnwliatelv proceed to the county of Durham and pay my respects to you, so far as the short time now remaining will permit. I have the honour to be, Gentle men, with the highest respect, Your most obedient and humble servant, Clarendon Hotel, Bond-street, WILLIAM RUSSELL.

This being the day to which Parliament was prorogued, the Session was opened by Com mission. HOUSE OF LORDS. At ten minutes past two o'clock the LORD CHANCELLOR entered the House, and took his seat on the bench usually occupied by the Lords' Commissioners. The other Lords Commissioners were, the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, and Lord ELLENBOROUGH. At twenty minutes past two, the Usher of ;he Black Rod proceeded to the Lower House, or the purpose of summoning the attendance of ;he Commons to their Lordships' Bar, to hear he Royal Speech read. The SPEA KER of the House of Commons, was attended by about fifty Members, among whom were—Mr. W. Y. PEEL, Mr. Alderman WOOD, and Colonel TRENCH, One of the Clerks having read his MA- J ESTY'S Commission, the LORD CHANCELLOR proceeded to read the Royal Speech, which was as follows : MY LORDS ANI) GENTLEMEN, " We are commanded by his MAJESTY to acquaint you, that his MAJESTY continues to receive from all Foreign Princes and States, assurances of their Desire to maintain the Relations of amity with this Country ; and that the great Powers of Europe participate in the earnest wish of His MAJESTY to cultivate a good understanding upon all Points which may conduce to the preservation of Peace. His MAJESTY has viewed for some time past, with great concern, the state of affairs in the East of Europe. " For :several years a contest has been carried on be tween the Ottoman Porte and the Inhabitants of the Greek Provinces and Islands, which has been marked on each side by excesses revolting to humanity. " In the progress of that contest, the rights of neutral States and the Laws which regulate the intercourse of civilized Nations, have been repeatedly violated, and the peaceful commerce of His MAJE,srv's subjecte, has been exposed to frequent interruption and to depredations, too often aggravated by acts of violence and atrocity. " His MAJESTY has felt the deepest anxiety to termi• nate the calamities; and avert the dangers, inseparable from hostilities, which constitute the only exception to the gene ral tranquillity of Europe. " Having been earnestly entreated by the Greeks to in terpose his good offices, with a view to effect a reconcilia tion between them and the Ottoman Porte, his MAJESTY concerted measures for that purpose in the first instance with the Emperor of Russia, and subsequently with his Imperial Majesty and the King of France. " IliS MAJESTY has given directions that there should be laid before you Copies of a Protocol signed at St. Ps tersburgh by the Plenipotentiaries of his MAJESTY and of his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Russia, on the 4th of April, 1826, and of the Treaty entered into between his MAJESTY and the Courts of the Tuilleries and of St. Pe tersburgb, on the 6th of July, 1627. " In the course of the measures adopted with a view to carry into effect the object of the Treaty, a collision wholly unexpected by his MAJESTY, took place in the Port of Na varin between the fleets of the contracting Powers and that of the Ottoman Porte. " Notwithstanding the valour displayed by the combined Fleet, His MAJESTY deeply laments that this conflict should have occurred with the naval force of an ancient Ally ; but he still entertains a confident hope that this untoward event will not be followed by further hostilities, and will not im pede that amicable adjustment of the existing differences between the Porte and the Greeks to which it is se mani- festly their common interest to accede. " In maintaining the national faith, by adhering to the engagements into which his MAJESTY has entered, his MA. J EsTv will never lose sight of the great objects to which all his efforts have been directed—the terminatioa of the contest between the hostile parties, the permanent settlement of their future relations to each other, and the maintenance of the repose of Europe, upon the basis on which it has rested since the last general Treaty of Peace. " His MAJESTY has the greatest satisfaction in inform ing you, that the purposes for which his MAJESTY, upon the requisition of the Court of Lisbon, detached a military force to Portugal, have been accomplished. The obligations of good faith having been fulfilled, and the safety and indepen dence of Portugal secured, His MAJESTY has given orders that the forces now in that country, should be immediately witkdrawni . " We are commanded by His MAJEsrr to acquaint you, that His MAJESTY has concluded Treaties of Amity and Commerce with the Emperor of Brazil, and with the United States of Mexico ; copies of which will, by ills MAJESTY'S commands, be laid before you. " GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, " His MAJESTY has ordered the Estimates for thc cur rent year to be laid before you. They have been pre pared with every regard to economy consistent with the exigency of the public service. " W e are commanded by His MAJESTY to recommend to your early attention an inquiry into the state of the Revenue and Expenditure of the Country. " His 'MAJESTY is assured that it will be satisfactory to you to learn that, notwithstanding the diminution which h as taken place in some branches of the Revenue, the total amount of Receipt during the last year has not disap pointed the expectations which were entertained at the commencement of it. " My LORDS AND GENTLEUEN, Hi s MAJESTY has commanded us to inform you that a considerable increase has taken place in the export of the principal articles of British manufacture. " This improvement of our foreign trade has led to a more general employment of the population, and affords a satisfactory indication of the continued abatement of those commercial difficulties which recently affected so severely the national industry. " His MAJESTY commands us to assure you, that Ile places the firmest reliance upon your continued endea yours to improve the condition of all classes of his subjects, and to advance the great object of His MAJESTY'S solicitude —the prosperity and happiness of his people. When his Lordship had concluded, the SPEAKER and Members of the House of Corn mons retired. Among the Peers present were his Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE and the Duke of ST. ALBANS. The Duke of WELLINGTON was not present during the reading of the Speech, but entered the House shortly afterwards. At 20 minutes to Three o'clock their Lord ships adjourned to Five o'clock. Lord BERESFURD is to be the Master General of the Ordnance. We understand that his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON has this day resigned the com mand of the Army, in which he is to be suc ceeded by the Earl of DoNouGxrloßE• The re-assembling of Parliament, for the des patch of business, will naturally lead men to reflect on the changes which have taken place, and the vacancies which have occurred, since it last met. But, eventful as the period has been, we would venture to say that one reflection will be uppermost in the mind of every individual on re-entering the Chapel of St. Stephens,—that every eye will first seek the place occupied by the late Mr. CANNING on the Treasury Bench, and that a simultaneous, though perhaps transitory, homage, will be paid to the manes of him, whom, at parting, they left occupying the pinnacle of human ambition,—the able, accomplished, and brilliant leader of that great assembly,—the eloquent and effective assertor of liberal and enlightened principles both at home and abroad, and the acknowledged umpire of the destinies of the world. Even personal hostility must give place to melancholy reflec tion on the transitory nature of so much glory, and 'those who did not regret his death, can not revisit the scene of all his triumphs, without some feelings of compunc- tion for the rancour which they exhibited, and which embittered, if it did not hasten the hour of his departure. But to those whom that great man numbered amongst his friends, who knew and could appreci ciate all the fascinating wit and brilliancy of his refined and cultivated mind, to those it must in deed be a renewal of sorrow, when they see his place occupied by any other person, and when they are recalled to the certain remembrance of their loss, by hearing the new Writ moved for a successor to his seat in Parliament.— Let them, however, take comfort in the comic- Lion, that to their friend will be assigned, by the latest posterity, the honor of esta blishing, by his eloquence, those principles which must ultimately pervade all Go vernments,—principles as distinct from the unhallowed machinations of the radical, as from the uncompromising spirit of the bigot and the oppressor. But though the day of his death was full of omen to the cause of 'Civil and religious liberty, and its most sanguine votaries were for a time appalled,—as " Freedom shrieked when Kosciusko fell;" we rejoice to think that the clouds are pass- ing - - away, and that the triumph of the cause has been only delayed by the loss of its great cham ion. The Gazette de France dated Sunday, and the Paris Papers of Saturday, have been received; they contain little news. A few extracts will be found in another column. We received this morning the Austrian Ob server of the 17th inst., from which we extract the following interesting particulars relative to naval affairs in the Archipelago:— ZANTE, DEC. 14. On the 17th of last month an European ship of war, bearing a flag of truce, entered the harbour of Navarin from the west; this ship was the English sloop of war the Pelican, Capt. H. A. B. Hamilton ; it reconnoitred the pert, and without having any communication with the Turkish ship lying in it, soon left it and put to sea again. The Pelican, which has since anchored in our roads, is appointed to cruize in the lonian seas as far as Cape Ma tapan. The following day, the 18th ult., there appeared on the south side, in sight of Navarin, a frigate, a cor vette, and a brig; the first had the French flag, but the two others had none. These ships remained off Navarin till the evening of the 19th, and then withdrew, but ap peared again in a few days; and it was observed from Mo don that two schooners joined it from,time to time. On the 25th November a strong north wind obliged all those ships to leave the coast. There is no doubt but these ships were the Hellas frigate, the corvette taken from the Egyp tiaps last summer, and the brig Sortir. Ibrahim Pacha is said to have declared, that if Lord Cochrane should again chew himself near Navarin lie would send against him the best ships he had at Navarin, and try the chance of a battle. The number of Turkish and Egyptian ships of war now in the harbour of Navarin, is 29, viz. one ship of the line of the Constantinople fleet much damaged ; four frigates of the same fleet in a similar condition; two frigates of the same fleet fit for service; one cut down Egyptian ship of the line in tolerable condition ; five corvettes, eleven brigs, five schooners of the Egyptian fleet in good condition, and 25 transports. The following had left Navarin since the battle of Oct. 20.:—one Egyptian schooner, which con voyed merchantmen from Navarin to the neighbourhood of Zante ; one Constantinople corvette, which conveyed Tahir Pacha to the capital ; one Egyptian corvette and schooner, which are gone to Alexandria, and a transport which is still at Modon. On the 6th instant, Ibrahim Pacha received from the Governor of Tripolizza, Soliman Bey, despatches, in which he states that his troops are in good condition, and that the fortress has provisions for three months, and has nothing to fear from an attack. On the other hand, the Egyptian troops in the camp at Navarin and Modon appear to suffe r from the want of provisions, so that the rations have diminish ed by one third ; this caused sonic excesses on the 6th inst. at Modon, where a part of the garrison attacked the bakers' shops an d pl un dered them. Ib ra hi m P ac h a had the guilty severely punished. Supplies have since reached Ibrahim's camp from Zante, which alternately sup ply the Greeks and Turks with provisions. On the 6th inst. a Greek brig cast anchor in this road, which on the 12th proceeded on its voyage to the coast of Acarnania. It carries provisions to Dragomestre, where General Church landed with several thousand men at the end of last month. On entering this port the brig hoisted Greek colours, but was obliged to take them down by order: of the English resident here. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 22d instant, has the following warlike article respecting the situation of affairs in the East : FROM THE FRONTIERS OF BOSNIA? JAN. 7. The military preparations are becoming serious in this province also. Mehmed Abdurhaham Paella, Governor of Bosnia, summoned all the Capitanis and Agas to come without delay to Serajevo, and asked them in what state their districts were, how many troops they had at their dis posal, what stock of arms, ammunition, and provisions they had, and in what state the fortresses, ports, &c. were? On the almost unanimous answer, that the fortresses were not in a good state of defence, and that the supplies were deficient, the Capitanis and Agas were made acquainted with the Sultan's firman, commanding all those places to be immediately repaired and provisioned ; a general arming of the Mussulmen, that they may be ready at the first call ; the payment of a certain sum of money for defraying other expences ; and, at the same time, or dering increased activity in the cannon foundry at Ban jaluka. It was also announced to them by this firman that they had not the 'cast came to fear any thing from their pacific neighbour Austria, even in case that power should station an army of observation upon the frontier. All the Mussulmen are therefore ordered on pain of losing their heads, to refrain from any offence to Austrian subjects, in cluding the Christian individuals in Bosnia; but at the same time to have a watchful eye upon all their proceed ings. As a proof of the friendly relations between Austria and the Porte, it may be mentioned that at the desire of the Porte an island lying near the fortress of Broslo, was a few days ago solemnly tlelivered up to it, which island, like all the others in the Save, has been since the last peace in the hands of Austria. ' By his Majesty's brig Mutine, At Fal mouth from Rio de Janeiro, with a:mail, letters have been received of the 30th November. These represent trade as improved, and sales were readily made at fair prices. The Exchange was 32 32-k; coffee, 3 mil.; sugar, Ist quality, 3 mil. 500 reas.; Muscovadoes, 2 mil. 600 reas. ; and hides, 220 reas. per lb. Considerable quantities of specie were shipping on board the packet, and merchant ships, both for Government account and the private merchants. The former were in the market, wanting bills to remit to England for the April dividends. No peace between the Brazilians and Buenos Ayres had actually taken place, but confident hopes are expressed that we may shortly expect the news of the desirable event having taken place, and to which point the EMPEROR, in closing the Session of the Assem bly, particularly adverts, as being extremely pro bable, and on terms mutually advantageous. It is proper to observe, at the time the packet sailed, no later accounts than those already re ceived sonic time since had arrived from the Rio Plata. On the day the packet sailed, his Ma jesty's brig Sphynx was seen going into Rio. The Maine has brought a number of pas sengers, among which are a deputation of the Haase Towns, Messrs. GILDEMESTER, SIEVIKING, and SCHRAMM, who return from their mission, after- having completed a treaty of commerce with the Brazilian Empire. Rio de Janeiro Papers to the 30th November inclusive, have arrived. The contain the EMPEROR'S Speech on closing the Session of the Chambers. Its tone is mild, and it holds out a prospect of peace. At Buenos Ayres a revolution is said to have broken out, and there was a general cry for peace : RIO DE JANEIRO. On the 16th Nov. the Emperor closed the Session of the Chambers with the following speech : " I cannot but congratulate myself on the happy result of the labours of the Assembly during this Session. My love for Brazil, the present political circumstances, and the national interest, oblige me to remind you that the abode in this capital of the majority of the Members of the Cham bers would be extremely useful, because, as we are still at war, and in hope of concluding a treaty of peace, it may happen to contain some article on the determination of boundaries which requires legislative measures, and without which the treaty cannot be concluded. I leave it to the wisdom of each of the Members to consider what passes.— Hoping a result which may show to Brazil the interest we all take in its happiness, the Session is closed." The Diario is chiefly filled with the debates of the Chambers, and with the official promulgation of the laws passed during the Session. The Deputies were occupied in some sittings with the subject of the counterfeit copper coin in the province of Bahia, and passed a resolution to the effect that, " It being notorious that the authorities of the province of Bahia had tolerated the manufacture and free circulation of counterfeit copper coin, receiving it into the public coffers, the attention of the Chamber had been called to this scandalous proceeding, and it had resolved to lay the matter before his Majesty's Geverinnent, urging the necessity of making the above-mentioned authorities re sponsible for the abuse." RIO, NOV. 20. Letters deserving credit, dated Monte Video, the 2d inst. say : " There is a revolution in Buenos Ayres. The Gover nor and Alvear were arrested and sent to the province of Mendonca, and there is a general cry for peace. I believe that the secret of the duration of the war was discoveted, and that the people are not disposed to suffer any more for foreign policy. Nov. 22.—The Diario announces the change in the Mi nistry. The following are the names of the new Ministers. Dr. P. de Aranjo Lima, for the Interior. Marquis de Arac Foreign Affairs. Miguel Calmon Du Pine e Almeida, Finance. Lucio Soares Teixeira de Gouvea, Justice. Brigadier Bento Barrozo Pereira, War. Commodore Diogo Jorge de Brito, the Marine. These nominations are all dated Nov. 20. The Ariadne English sloop of war arrived on the 18th at Marseilles front Malta, in 1,2 days, with despatches, which were immediately for warded to their destination. THE COURIER AND CONSISTENCY ! The Courier and Consistency are, like Lord GREY and the Ultra Tories, wide as the Poles asunder. Within the last twelve months Eng land has had Four Prime Ministers, and the. Courier Four sets of Principles A Fifth Prime Minister may arise, an the serpent will change its skin. The public are too well aware that the oracle of a office" has deceived—that the jobber has been caught in his own stocks, and stands self-exposed to the cutting derision of its friends,—that the mighty of other days has fallen upon evil times, and been forced to drink the cup of humiliation in all the bitterness of wounded pride, and all the remorse of affected self-complacency. Thrice it turned with the uncertain breath of public opinion, and a fourth time it confessed that all was vanity and vexation of spirit. We would fain be charitable, but our contemporary hides its face, choos ing rather the pity, which galls, than the sympathy that conciliates, for, being lost to principle—it lays no claim to character. It has deceived its friends—flattered its enemies—abused its readers—and ended, like the scorpion, by committing suicide. A public inquest is now sitting on its remains ; and the following are its last dying words : ~ THE COURIER. " The EDITORSHIP of the COURIER has passed into " other hands ; not, however, into strange ones, but " into those that conducted it for the long period of " nearly twenty years (from 1799 to 1817)—from the " close of the war that was terminated by the hollow " peace of Amiens, to the end of that more stupendous " contest which placed this country at the head of the " world. Fresh wars we may yet be involved in—but " our greatness was consummated in 1815." The Editorship of the Courier h►►s passed into other hands, and its readers to other Jour- nals. After lauding the Earl of LIVERPOOL it thus abuses its late friends:— " From the termination of the War, the Whig Party had, " with a few exceptions, conducted themselves with suf " ficient moderation. So punished bad they been by " their own prophecies, that the country almost began " to construe their prostration into penitence, and their " silence into shame. But, humbled though they were, " they were not tamed--dormant though they lay, they " were not dead. The political demise of the Earl of " LIVER,MQL restored their hopes, and refreshed their " machinations." Out of its own mouth will it stand con- demned— " Nought like itself can chronicle its shame :" With the circumstances that led to their introduction " into the Cabinet of Dlr. CANNING every one is suffi " ciently acquainted. Whether Mr. CANNING would " have kept them long under discipline, is now not " worth enquiring; but it is not at all impossible that " they would again have given themselves the coup de " grace, by repeating the notable expedient of beating " their brains out against a wall of their own building. " The elements of discord which bad shown themselves " before the death of Mr. CANNING, gained strength " during the short Administration of a Nobleman, " whose name is synonimous with all amiable and ex " cellent qualities. In the elevation of Lord CODE " mut there was no insolence—in his ambition there " was not the least taint of selfishness. ' Nothing in " life became him like the leaving it.' " The Vicar of BRAY has thus given the coup de grace to its inconsistency by doing that which it imputes to its late idols, beating its own brains out. -There was a time That when the brains were out the man would die, And there an end. But not so the Courier, for " it can turn, and turn, and still go on." Short as the period had been from Lord LiltEarooes " illness, it had produced a great effect upon the public " mind. Men became involved in doubt and perplexity " —they wandered in the dark, without star or com: " pass—they could not take a safe departure—they could " not keep a steady reckoning—old companions were " lost by the way, and new ones were picked up— " friends were maltreated as foes, and foes were mis " taken for friends. In so new a state of affairs, it " can hardly be a matter of surprise that the Jour " nalist should not have been free from error, or " that, with one end in view—the welfare of his coun • " try—he should have sometimes been mistaken in " the choice of his means. Inconsistency, naturally " growing out of the strange coalition of Whig and " Tory, became the order of the day. But its reign has " passed away—the experiment of making a Cabinet " half Whigs and half Tories has been tried, and failed. " If they begin by mutual concession, they soon 'suspect " that they have " professed too much." Each en " croaches upon the other—reproaches become recipro " cal—discord grows and gathers strength—there is no " making up -no renewal of affection—the ire alum " tium redintegratio amoris is never applicable to the " quarrels of Statesmen." Those who run may read,—yet pause to read again :—Short_ as the period had been from Lord LIVERPOOL'S illness, it produced a sad effect upon the Courier. Its readers became in volved in doubt and perplexity—they wandered o'er its columns without principle or character to guide them—they could not take a safe de parture, because they could not reckon on its steadiness ; ultra Tories were lost, out of office, and moderate ones filled their places ; liberal men were abused as Whigs, and Whigs were mistaken for Radicals. With such a kettle of fish it can hardly be wondered at that the Cout ier should have burnt its fingers. Inconsistency became the order of the day, —but the experiment has failed. When the Courier, turned against the Ultra Tories, one third of its readers flocked to a new Stand ard. The Courier then made a long confes sion—in favour of liberal principles, but soon had good reason to suspect that it " professed too much,"—for the lost sheep returned no more. Sir Oracle proceeds proved that the Cabinet e b x ee el n usively a Whig Cabinet or " B ,, e m yo u n a d t a ei l t l he d r ou b b e t a , im it o h st as " a Tory Cabinet." Where is the proof? In the columns of the Courier, for the last six months in praise of coalitions ? We have not space, or we could heap accumulated proofs from the Courier against the Courier in defence of coalitions as being the one thing needful for insuring the dig nity of the Throne and the happiness of the people. But we leave this task to its superau. nuated Editor, who will find enough to reconcile in his new vocation. We now come t o the last passage in thi s " eventful history," and our readers will. not be sorry. " Of the New Administration which has just entered upon " its functions, a contemporary remarks, with some " levity, that had he been the manager, he would have " cast the parts differently. Without advancing such a hi g h pretensions ourselves, we can only say, that we " trust we havdagain a Tory Administration, deter mined upon maintaining the Constitution, as it is " established in Church and State--an Administra tion by whisk the principle of Parliamentary Re ‘: form. will not be supported—nor the Catholic Ques " tion be conceded, nor the Test and Corporation Acts be repealed." The wolf has thus thrown off the mask, let us hope, for the last time. Illiberal to the very core, it has exposed the rotten nakedness of its heart.

General GUILLEMINOT, who arrived Toulon on the 18th, on board the Junon, foul there orders for his immediate return to Corf u join the English and Russian Atnbassado : and act in conjunction with them. Letters from Cadiz of the 4th Jan. state the Soberano, 74 guns, has at length s a iled the Havannah, with a tolerably good cre w, c oo sisting of Galicians and Catalans : it is ac cool plied by a brig and five large transports, vci tj materiel and provisions. - It appears that the Algerines and the Cola bians have an understanding, as the latter we si the African costume ; it is assured they dis° barked at Marbella, and committed great der dations, and captured two French merchantni r near Majorca.
