FOREIGK JAT,EI4.IOENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. Mora the GazePe de France, Nov; a 1 . ) Pants, Nov. 20.—The revolutionary journals (for the language which they hold this morning does not deserve another name) announce that serious dis orders took place yesterday eveningein the quarter of St. Denis. In truth they know it very well, for it is their work. The evening had passed very quietly, and the authorities suffered the fumes of the short and noisy joy of liberalism to evaporate. The troops. only. appeared in' cousequence of the attack COM mitteri• upon a citizen, who, being pursued by some desperadoes, took refuge in a guard-house, where he demanded protection. The guard-house was besieged by the rioters, who barricaded themselves, and violence was necessary to force the barricades and deliver the corps de garde. It will be seen in our article Paris, and in the sequel by the narrative of the events,- what measures were necessary to re establish order in that quarter, the only one where it was seriously interrupted, for the disorders corn mitted.in the Place Vendome were immediately re pressed by the arrest of the rioters. And what are. the causes of these troubles ? What are the in struments of them ? The Journal des Debats has undertaken to inform the Constitutionnel. This journal, which recognizes by the names of the elect of liberalism, the silliness of the bargain which it has signed as the price of the nomination of only one of its friends, is already out of humour. " This evening," it says, " about 20 ragged wretches were seen running about the streets with torches in their hands, and mingling with the names of the deputies of Paris, cries of—' Long live the Emperor !'— Invocations to this Emperor, who now lives only in history, these invocations proclaimed by twenty dis gusting mercenares, forward but little, in the coun cils of the throne and in those of the country, which has not yet entirely pronounced its judgment, the affairs of the opposition." Let us admire the prudence of this journal, which takes care to remark that the country has not yet entirely pronounced its judgment. For it divines, it already knows, what the departmental colleges pro , mite to the friends of order; it knows this, and from. the terror with which it is inspired, doubtless by the joy of its new friends, we might believe that it is reduced to the shame of desiring it at the bottom of its heart, and that it is afraid of its own work. Its work will remain incomplete, we repeat, to all -flee friends of order. Their sentiments did not ap pear, doubtful on 'Change yesterday. In vain do cur ae iversaries suppose that news from the East; s in some city of the kingdom, had given or disore l .er the alarm. No news have arrived from Constan tinople, and t i:anquillity has not been interrupted at Lyons. The troe cause, the only cause—of the fall of.the funds yesterday, is the terror inspired in the monied men, who Are friends of peace and of the Government, and • enemies so confusion and revolutions, by the Liberal elect.:;on: .‘ hich journalism proclaims as revolutionary triumphs I This triumph will be of short duration, and the disgrace of these saturnalia, in which the apostacy of the Debuts is kill more disgraceful than the popular intoxication which it has denounced this morning—this disgrace will fall entirely on the beads of those who make a sport of re "'solutions for the pride of one or two men. .‘ TO 'THE ELECTORS. We now know the greater part of the nomina nations made by the colleges of the arrondissements. We shalt not imitate our adversaries byindulging in classifications and enumerations, which in our opi nion are as indecorous as uncertain. Those who for these two days past have been speaking of the mis calculations of the Government (du pouvoir) are probably destined to find they have made many more themselves when the sessions shall be opened, and the %vied= of the deputies, and their respect for the true interest of the country, shall disappoint tha hopes ec threats which outraged the elected and the electors. is One remark on'y which is connected with general considerations, and which in this view is worthy of attentiotes results from the elections known up to this day. It is irident that the epirit which haci directed thore-of the great towns, and of places subject to their influence, from vicinity or other considerations, differs- fronx,the opinion which bas guided other eel leges. This fact as the more worthy of remark, t)e- CAW, in spite ale wholly different electoral system, and tinder' circumstances necessarily' different, the same phenomenon appears in England. London and Liverpool are accustomed to send to Parliament de puties in opposition to the administration of the country, whatever it may be. This spirit of oppo sition, which is the natural attribute of democracy, appears, therefore, to be inherent in all great Masses of population. Crossing the seas, we find it' at :New York and Philadelphia; and in antiquity the same fact appears in every page of history, The lama which govern society have, like those in nature, their invariability. Lut, wherever society maintains itself, this tendency has its counterpoise. In Eng land the elections of the boroughs and counties—of which at least one half are under the influence or even the direct patronage of the Upper Chamber—are the corrective of this democratical spirit. In France, where individual inflnences are nearly nothing, the Jaw. has . supplied their places by collective influ ences ; hence the establishment of the great col leges. They represent the conservatory principles and the permanent interests of society, while the • co ll eg es of . arrondissements are ehe more or less faithful expression I.f what is moveable and variable in the divers wants to which the country is subject by the progress of ime. Unhappily, in France, the i men and the things connected with the conservatory principle have too often been wanting to society ar the moment when it had the greatest need of their assistance. 'lt will not be the same on-this occasion enlightened as we are by experience. " If, as the Opposition says, democracy and revo lution strongly repressed at the elections of 1824, re-act upon those of 1827, And obtain successes which might become dangerous to the country, this is a warning given to the departmental colleges. Their duties are moee strongly marked. Ie is the results of their choice which must present an insare mountable barrier to every guilty hope, to every direction, to every seduction, which Might threaten, even remotely, the tranquillity which we enjoy. Before the stability of the throne and of aIP institu tions, many other plots, other faults, other efforts of a day, will vanish. Ilut the strength of Govern. • ment.and of society may . be better employed for the - prosperity of France than in internal sttuggles, the most fortunate issue of which would be to replace us where we are. Let the votes of the great col leges, superior to every other consideration, be given to tried men, whose devotion to the King and his f a mily is entire and absolute. Under the present circumstances, this is the first of all guarantees. The Ministerial questions are of such a preca rious nature, and so much out of proportion with the interests which are agitated in tl!e Ales:toml colleges, that we should not speak of them did not the jour nals of the Opposition ,eontinually recur to them, Less exclusive than those violent papers, we:will say to the Royalists, Do not inquire whether the can didate whom you bring forward has voted for or against the Ministers, but ,examine which of the Royalists offered to your choice has the most chalice of being elected, and give your votes to him.' What is necessary is, that the Deputies who are called to discuss the dearest interests of prance he mei.' of honour and talent, and, above all, faithful subjects." Yesterday several streets in Paris were entirely illuminated. Barricadoes were formed at the bottom of the street of St. Denis; and thence stones and petards were thrown, and pistols and muskets fired. The troops of the line were not able to disperse the crowd, except by making use of their arms. - (From the Moniteur of Tuesday, Nov. 20. ) • PARIS, vov. 19. " TO-THE ELECTORS OF THE DEPARTMENTS. " The-.elections of the' College of the Aroodisse !stouts are terminated.. We leave the journals to t r iumph in the language which is habitual to them, 3 r the nomination of sot 4. Ilemos who are them- selves perhaps alarmed at the joy of these journals; fbr they see dearly in the cries with which their election is greeted, the conditions that are imposed upon them, the oath that is expected of them, and they perhaps already ask, themselves, if the hopes •,vhich journalism dares to found on them agree with the first words of the oath which every Deputy takes to the King and the Charter on entering the Chamber. The conscience of the new Deputies will solve this sufficiently. We will only remind them that journalism has often insulted its idols, and that the names of some even of the Hon. De puties of Paris have received from it more insults than flattery. " The tiles of the Constitutionnel are at hand, to disenchant all sensible minds of the effects of the incense of the journals. • " A candidate and a Deputy are different things; journalists and electors, too, are different things ; :titer the event, justice is rendered to everybody. We take a pleasure, therefore, in clearing the names of the newly elected Deputies from the preposses sions which the fatal favour of the journals should seem to attach to them. We see in them only can didates legally elected, independently of their perso nal qualifications, (leer notabilite personelle), by in fluence of which they have not always the choice— ititluerfces to which the electors themselves are sub ject without knowing it, but which nobody dares to avow after success. " Have not the Journalists run the risk of causing a still greater and more deplorable evil? I mean the division of the Royalists, which is the work of the Journals, all of which are not, or do not believe themselves to be, revolutionists. Happily, again, these divisions, on which was founded the hope of revolution (which does not forget its history, as its victims forget it), have not had the effect which the contrivers expected tiorn them. But ►t is enough that they have been able to produce their fruit in a small number of points, for Royalist hearts to be deeply afflicted by it, and for the electors of the departments, who are called upon more naturally to represent the higher interests of the country, to feel the necessity of protesting, by their votes, against combinations as Insensate as they are culpable. " The Electors of the Departments, placed by their social situation, above the political passions of the multitude against which the electors of arrondisse ments found it more difficult to guard themselves, know also that society, in confiding to them a sepa rate commission, by calling on them twice for their suffrages, by raising them by a second vote in a raanner to temper the first, even that which they might have given to the pressure of circumstances, and the importunity of the affections, has confided to them a part which is essentially moderatingfor the general interest of order, and of the mural equili brium which is the first condition of it. The re forence.made to them is, in some measure, an ap peal open to general interests against the too exclu :ive triumph of private interests or party opinions. They have shown themselves faithful to this distin vuished commission given by the King and the na tion, and it is in presence of the union of extreme opinions and of hostile passions (a union more scan dalous than even their struggles) that they will know how to execute the ministry of wisdom and peace which has been confided to them by the King and for their country. Journalism does not rise to the elevated sphere of this special magistracy of the great colleges, which seems to be a bond between the aristocracy of the Upper Chamber and the dee mo.eracy of the inferior colleges, as if to maintain the harmony of powers by forming between them a more gentle trans►tion. ‘,‘ Truth, justice, good sense, and right, cannot op strongly concentrate themselves when all errors, even those which are the most different and icon• trary to each Qther, coalesce against an order of 'pings, the ruin of which would be a triumph for no body but the friends of disorder. Among the jour nalists whose despair of frivolity mocks at the des tiny of States, all this may seem a game, which is more or less silly or ridiculous; in their eyes it is, its; they say, the war des - feuilles contre le; porte leuilles. Among the electors called upon to Second the solicitude of the King for the public happiness, the game would be fatal and criminal for them : it is the war of revolutionary doctrines against the throne, and of party ambition against the Royal authority. " They see that the nominations gained by the constant enemies of all the administrations, even the mast different which have suaceeded . each other since the restoration, have for the most part fallen to their share, only in consequence of their fatal di visions, which, while they threaten society with a Moral anarchy, promise no real advantage either to their authors or their accomplices ; forsuch is the in fatuation of so monstrous an intrigue, that it serves nobody, while it injtaea every body ; and that each party cannot expect from it, io ,case of success, any thing but more hatred mid perseentjon frig; the apposite party. - The departmental electors are placed on a level with their rise thoughts, and we shall see them repulse with one haru the enemy- who would com bat the restoration even in its source perhaps, and with the other the perfidious friend ; who, feigning an attack nothing belonging to the restoration but its works and its instruments, gives it wholly up to the hatred of the real enemy. goyalists and French men, they will listen to the voice of the Prince, and of the country, who only ask of them one and the same thing ; men of integrity, strangers, and suPe dor to parties,—men who desire justice, order, peace, and the laws,L—Royalistf according to the Charter, —Constitutionlists according to the King,—men of sense and courage; and, above all, no mischief makers. PAnts, Nov. 20.—The late French i<Tiniste► at the Court of the Netherlands took leave of the King on the 15th, and presented to hjs Majesty the Mar quis de la Moussaye. (From the Journal des Debate.) (MIVATE LETTER.) MADRID, Nov, t3.—The English Legation having insisted on the necessity. of Elie French troops evacu ating Spain, our Ministry answered, that the princi pal obstacle consisted in the: impossibility of paying Our debt. A new note was then sent, demanding that measures should be taken for acknowledging the loans of the Cottes, and particularly the English loan, before that of France. Without attempting to foretel the decision which will be given on this wbject, it is certain that a collection of all cairns, and a calgulation of all the national property which served as a pledge for those demands, has been ordered to be made out. It is said that the Diplo matic: Body has represented to the King the incon venience resulting from his absence,and proposed to join him at yOepc4 or Barcelona, if his stay was in tended to 'tae prolonged. It is to be supposed, that during the present low state of the Treasury, the Ambassadors will be requested to do every thing at their own expense which they shall consider neces sary for the performance of their duty. (From the .10 . 1rial . des Debuts.) PARIS, Nov. Villele bas' finished no thing that he has begun ; of consequence, he remains culpable for all that he has undertaken. Our inter position in Spain still remains where it was, and its future issues are unknown. The price of the So vereignty of St. Domingo is not yet paid, The Sinking Fund, taken away from its lawful destina tion to be sacrificed to the perilous operation of the three per cents. must yet ca)l for an investigation by the Legislature. The Jesuits are tolerated, and are established every where; but they are still unlaw ful, in spite of the notices of the Cours Royale, and the remission of the petition of M. de Montlosier to the President of the Council of Ministers. Seventy six Peers have been nominated, but they are not yet received. The part which we hare taken in the affairs of Portugal and Greece requires an explana tion, which nothing but time can give, and yet it is at the moment when every thing which the Minister has stirred up remains in suspense on his head, that he dissolves a Chamber which he has gained over, in order to ask from France a Chamber where he must necessarily find judges. Does M,,de Villele !know the opinions of France ? The events answer that question. It is from his labours in destroying the Journals, which he had bought up, and to the Censorship, which he h as u nceasingly l aunc h e d against the independent Journals, to which must be, attributed his ignorance of public opinion. When the report of the dissolution of the Chambers be gan to circulate, no one would credit it ; for we are all capable enough to judge of the interests of a Mi nistry independently of the sentiments which he in spires into us. When this report became so gene ral that it could no longer be disbelieved, every one thought that M. de Villele would begin by break mg up and recomposing the Ministry, if it had been only for the purpose of trying to deceive the electoral colleges, by diffusing an opinion that he intended to revert to a less irritating system. His prefects, his Ministerial writers, his worn out deputies, would have had at least something to say to honourable men, whom the love of ease disposes to be credu lous on all points. Had he only given up M. de Peyronnet as a pledge of reconciliation, it would have been something merely by way of deception. Far from that, it was in all his 'Ministerial integrity that hr presented himself before France, and it was in the position of an accuser, of one that boasted of the hate that he had inspired, that he came to seek the means of retaining the country for seven years more in all the uncertainties of his destructive but impo tent genius. France did not allow him to wait for an answer. Not knowing that in all things time is an element of power, he thought he should gain everything by precipitating the operations of the electoral colleges, and the result has been as we pre dicted, that he has merely taken from them the pos sibility of division. Electoral France could even now give him back one half of the days of sovereignty that he has bestowed upon her, Dreading what he terms Journalism, he conceals in the capital those libels which he sends to the departments, in order to avoid answers which the journals might have given, and it is the electoral colleges which have to answer in their stead. Thus, according to him, the Journals performed the work assigned to the electoral col leges ; and, according to the trutp of thg case, it is the electoral colleges that have performed the work that belonged ordinarily to the Journals. The alarm by which he had been seised, must, at last, discover itself, in spite of the efforts made to disguise it--in spite of assurances, always ridiculous where events are hurrying onward to explain themselves - . By giving in his Journal news from Marseilles, and from the department of the Lower Pyrennees, whilst he appears not to know what is passing in the De, partments around the Capital, he has proved that he can no longer deceive himself, but that.he would like yet to deceive some one for twenty-four hours at least. What is the use of such an attempt? How can plain common sense avoid revealing to the most prejudiced eyes, that the man . who has vilified France in the elite of her people, is the same who hild declared that he could answer for the result of the elections, and that consequently his honesty is equal to his foresight ?

FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER vi, ISt?. The non-arrival of news from Constantinople or Navarin, is most unaccouniable. A fortnight to-morrow will have elapsed since the arrival of the despatches, announcing the action, and not o u Q syllable has since.been received from Sir EDW. CODRINGTON. The anxiety for intelligemee daily increases, and we hope to he able shortly to relieve it. Up to the latest hour of this after noon, however, no despatches had been received at any of the Offices. W e received this morning the Gazette de Fiance dated yesterday, from tivhiclr we extract the following, which is the latest news respecting Turkey : (oNsTANTINOPLE, OCT. 25. Nothing is changed here. The Porte, faithful to its system, will not listen to conciliation. The orders sent to Ibrahim are pressing, and recommend him by every means to hasten the close of the insurrection.— ;The Reis Effendi has announced to the European Mini sters intelligence of a victory gained by Tahir Pacha over Lord Cochrane. The Greek newspapers, however, naake no mention of this pretended victory.— Gazette d'4ugs burg. People are now beginning to calculate the probable re sults of the battle of Navarin. Those who know little of the East augur inevitable war, together with a general massacre of the Franks; but those who are better acquainted with the character of the Turkish nation, do not share in these apprehensions, but think that there is a greater chance than ever of an amicable arrangement.— Letters from Genoa state, that Government is going to send out a squadron to the Levant for the protection of the national commerce ! Gazette d'Augsburg. PARIS, NOV. 21. In our Number of yesterday, we stated some details on the, scene of the I 9th the disturbers separated ; but saying they would come in stronger for to. morrow, they did no t fail, and their excesses were against the peaceable inhabitants. The force sent against them for a longtime did not act; they barracaded Rue St. Denis, and becoming more numerous, pursued the armed force, throwing stones and hooting sediti ous cries; at length they were driven from street to street; they entrenched themselves, and supported a regular siege,and fired some muskets. At ten o'clock the troops assembled on the Place de Chatelet, and three Commissioners of the Police preceded. the detachment of the troops of the line and cavalry. They were again summoned to retire, b u t i n vain; th e b arr i ca d es were a t tac k e d, a volley of stones were thrown, muskets fired from the windows, se veral of the military have been wounded ; at midnight their entrenchments were carried, and the streets were evacuated. Several of the military are wounded by stones and bullets : many of the rioters have fallen victims, and a great num - her have been arrested. PARIS, NOV. 20. The disorder which took place yesterday hes been re newed more seriously. New barricades have been formed in the rue St. Martin and St. Denis. The troops have overthrown these feeble' obstacles. At the Palais Royal the gates were shut at half-past eight o'clock. FRENCH Furrns.—Five per Cents., 99f. SOc. ; Three per Cents., 66f. 40c ; after 'Change hours they got up to 68f. l Oc, as the Minister was gaining ground. We have inserted in a preceding column some additional extracts from the . Paris Papers of Tuesday, and the Gazette de France of Wednes day morning. The result of the elections in Paris has produced some of those excesses which usually attend any strong ebullition of public feeling ; and it is evident, by the articles which the Moniteur and Gazette de France have both put forward on the subject of the elections, that the Government are seriously alarmed at their probable consequences. The first and natural effect of the triumph of the liberal party, an event which is spoken of as nearly certain, must be the overthrow of Yr. VILLELE, and of that system which has enchained the nation by enforcing the most odious restrictions on the Press. So far, every Englishman will rejoice at any defeat which the pre . sent Ministry of France may sustain ; but M. VI LLELE'S policy has been so decidedly in favour of maintaining the existing relations between France and Great Britain, and of avoid ing any measure which might bring the interests of the two countries into collision; and his con- tinuance in office being from a variety of circum stances considered as securing, in some measure, the peace of Europe, any event which may remove him from the helm of public affairs in France cannot but be regarded with much appre hension. His place can- hardly be supplied by one whose policy will be so decidedly for peace. Hence we apprehend arises that alarm in the public mind in Paris which is so strongly shewn in the rapid decline of their Funds. The probabi lity of M. VILLELE'S financial plans being over thrown by another Ministry would of course have its influence on the Money market, but the grand operating cause of the fall of the Rentes is that the preservation of peace will be less secure, if the party opposed to VILLELE should triumph. - The following are extracts from the Nurem berg Correspondent of the 15th instant, and Austrian Observer of the 11th, which reached us this morning BUCHAREST, NOV. 2. By the ordinary post we have letters from Constanti nople to the 25th October, but which .contain nothing of importance. M. Minziacky, the Russian Consul, has left us, and gone to Jassy. His departure, the object of which is to see to the repair of the building's belonging to the Russian Consulate, which wete much damaged by the late fire at Jassy, excites some sensation under the present circumstances. ANCONA, NOV. 4. The Dartmouth frigate, which arrived here on the 2d, has landed 37 wounded men at our Lazaretto, of whom two are already dead. It is related, that as soon as the firing of the Christian squadrons commenced, the Turks massacred all the Greek sailors on board their ships. The Turkish batteries in the Hand of Sphacteria were silenced and taken by the Russians. It is said that the Turkish Admiral's Secretary, who was taken prisoner, has declared that the Admiral wished for and sought an en gagement, having received orders from Constantinople, by the aid of his are-ships, to destroy the Christian ships on the first opportunity. It is mentioned in letters from Paris, that the Florence Gazette states that the Secretary of the Turkish Admiral, who was made prisoner, had declared that the battle wilS; provoked by the Turks, in compliance with secret orders from Constantinople, which enjoined them to burn the European vessels. A letter also from Ancona, published in that Journal, confirms the above, and mentions that the Greek seamen who were compelled to serve on board the Turkish vessels after the action, were massacred by the Turks. The Diario di Roma of the 7th contains 'a letter from Corfu, giving the same details. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 16th instant, has been received this forenoon. It contains no intelligence from Constantinople later than the 25th Oct. It appears by an article under date of Ancona, 4th November, that the Turkish batteries on Sphacteria, the island in front of the harbour of Navarin, were taken by the Russian ships. The following are extracts : FROM THE DANUBE, NOV. It. According to letters from Vienna, immediately on the receipt of the important news from Trieste, the acceptance of all bills of exchange drawn from Constantinople was suspended, till it should be ascertained what measures may have been taken against the Greeks and the Franks in the Turkish capital, in consequence of the late events. The despatches sent from Vienna to Trieste, Fiume, Venice, and Ragusa, as well as those sent by a courier to the Gene7l commanding on the Turkish frontiers, are said to be very important:. FROII THE FRONTIERS OF ITALY, NOV. 9. The English courier, who has passed . through with Ad miral Codrington's despatches for London, says that a con siderable number of English wounded had been brought by a brig of war to the Lazaretto at Corfu. The French and Russian wounded were brought to Zante. The commerce with the Italian sea-ports with the Levant, which suffered extremely from the piracy exercised under the Greek flag, is now wholly paralyzed by the hostilities with the Turks. All vessels freighted fin• Turkish ports remain in the hay - boors, and most of those that have lately sailed have re turned. Insurances can scarcely be effected on any terms. Admiral de Rigny hail ordered back several Austrian and other merchantmen, laden with a mmunition, and hound to Turkish ports, which have sailed to Zante to discharge their cargoes.' VIENNA, NOV. 11 • Tlie Austrian Observer has a short account of the :male of Navarin, as given by one of the couriers (an Eng fish Naval Officer), who landed at Ancona on the 2d Nov. I'This letter concludes with the following remarks :- 1 " These accounts have thrown the merchants here into alarm, because so many mercantile interests are closely interwoven with the fate of the, Europeans in Turkey ; , md, in case they should be endangered, great losses may accrue to all countries, especially to those lying in the Mediterranean and the Adriatic, which have their pin_ ! cipal commerce with the Levant. Those houses, ton, which carry on the corn trade with Odessa are exposed to great risk, for a great many ships are at Odessa, taking in cargoes of grain, which, in case of a breach with the Porte, would not be able to continue their voyage ; and yet the bills drawn fur the amount of invoices must be paid; and, under such circumstances, no money would be ad vanced on the bills of lading, notwithstanding the insurance, as is otherwise usual. It is, therefore, much to be wished that all these alarms may be soon dispelled by the receipt of more pacific news. VIENNA, NOV. 10. .. 91 ..1,053i Metailiques Bank Shares..

At this information may use ful to the mercantile interests connected with the above, we submit the expediency of your giving it publicity. We are, Sir, yours, &c. CUTLERS & WILSON. A Learned Gentleman, named FRENCH, thought proper to move the Court of King's Bench, yesterday, for a criminal information against us, on the assumption that an article commenting upon the Learned Gentleman's conduct at a late public meeting went, not only to destroy his character, but to deprive him of the means of subsistence. The Learned Gentleman said that his family were thrown into the greatest affliction, and for what ?—because Mr. FRENCH'S attack upon the memory of Mr. CANNING, was exposed in our columns as ri diculous—silly, and uncalled for. Why, does the Learned Gentleman think that the field of invective is to be left for his plea sure—that he is to be allowed the exercise of his fine talents to assail the memory of the illustrious dead, and to wound the an guished feelings of the living relatives and ad mirers of Mr. CANNING ? We had no inten tion whatever to wound the feelings of Mr. FRENCH'S family---in fact we did not know that he had any—but when a man comes forward in public to denounce the character of others, he ought to have some care for his own ; and whatever touches the feelings of a man must by sympathy extend to his friends. But we deny the charge made by Mr. FRENCH, that we insinuated he was disordered in his intellect, and we think that he would have proved its strength much better by taking no notice of the article, than by adopting the ob noxious course pursued, to substantiate the solidity of his intellect in a Court where the exhibition must have been considered quite superflous by his learned brethren. But there is no accounting for tastes, any more than the eccentricities of the human mind. We had thought that Mr. FRENCH'S intellect was too great to be affected by the paper bullets of the brain, and that he would have rested satisfied with taking in good humour a part of that cri tical observation which he delighted in bestow ing upon others—men who had ►merited the ap plause of their country, and who sunk to the tomb lamented not only at home but abroad. Does Mr. FRENCH think that he is to attack the memory of great men with impunity ? Would it not have been more praiseworthy—more magnanimous to have abstained from attacking Mr. CANNING'S memory at such a time and on such an occasion? If he say that the character of public men is public property, then surely, the public censor ought to submit hi s ltt the own conduct to the ordeal of public opi nion. Had he done unto others as he wi s h e d they consulted should his o d l o v n u c n h t a o r, a him, e : er he "onl wounding have bet , without' would feelings of those who mourned over the loss of Mr. CANNING. MALTA, OCT. 22.—His Majesty's ship Jasper, arrived here to-day, sailed from Chesme with 22 English vessels under convoy. On the 11 th inst., off Scio, three Greek misticos efime from the shore, took in tow the Elizabeth, Noctes, (she being about two miles from the brig of war), and before assistance could be pro cured, she had got out her long-boat, laden it with fr u it, taken it on shore, returned, and laden it again with stores, when the Jasper's boats came up and secured the bo a t.— The Jasper called at Milo, and found lying there the English brig Kitty, bound to Alexandria, which had been plundered, and waited another opportunity for protection. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE gave a Grand Dinner on Wednesday, at their seat in Bushy Park, to a numerous party of the Nobility and Gentry.
