An entire change is about to be made in the diplomatic arrangements of the Court of France. The following list has been published in the Mo?z it cu r : Marshal Unison St. Petersburgh. Count St. Aulsire Vienna. M. de la Tour Maubourg. Rome. M. de Mareuil Naples. Baron de Talleyrand Florence. 31. Breason Berlin. M. de Vaudreoil Dresden. Count St. Preest Rio Janeiro. Duke de Monteb-110 Copenhagen. Count Charles de Mornay. ...... Carlsrhue. M. Bellocq Hanseatic Cities. M. Edward de Bassieres Darmstadt. As far as our recollection serves us all these persons are identified with the new order of things in France and will maintain the character of their own Government in the respective Courts to which they are accredited. Their appoint ment had become necessary on various grounds, but on none more titan the new relations between France and this country. It would have been impossible for the French Court to have given effect to the representations which are necessary for the completion of a commercial treaty with England without such a change. We would recommend to Lord PALMERSTON to follow the example of the Duke de BROGLIE, and appoint new Ambassadors to several of those Courts in which the Duke of WELLINGTON is much more efficiently represented than Earl GREY. The Message) . des Chambres contains a long article, in which it is stated that a triple alliance between Great Britain, France, and Austria is on foot against Russia, but ins inuates tha t the condition of the adhesion of Austria is the adoption of Anti-liberal principles in France. The idea, however, is absurd. Louts PHILIP will not so readily abandon the tenure by which he holds his Crown. The Nouvelliste contains an article from the Lisbon Gazette of December 19, in which it is stated that the Pedroites had made a sally, in which they were repulsed on all points. This is the affair of the 17th, which we know terminated in favour of the Constitutionalists, and placed a great part of Villa Nova in their hands. We understand that the avowed object of M. Pozzo DI BonGo's mission to this country is to obtain the concurrence of our Government in some proposal of the Russian Cabinet in favour of the PoRTE, and against the Pacha of EGYPT, the Emperor NICHOLAS haring, it seems, for cer►ain concessions, and with a view to a continued influence over Turkey, consented to take the SULTAN under his protection. The French Government having a leaning towards Egypt, and it being considered by NICHOLAS that there is still enough of the old Leaven in our Cabinet to join in the regret expressed by the Duke of WELLINGTON at the " untoward event," which crippled our " Ancient Ally" at Navarin, the Northern Autocrat hopes to sow dissension between this country and France. We trust he will be disappointed. If there be any point of foreign policy in which the Cabinets of Great Britain and France are likely to disagree, they will do well to discuss the question calmly and in the , pirit of friendship, and not allow the emissary of a Power, w hich is hostile to both, to convert into enemies two nations whose interest it is to he perpetual friends. Several of the Papers have announced that Prince TALLEYRAND is on the point of re signing the post which he holds as Ambassador from the French Court. This is not quite the fact. M. de TALLEYRAND has mentioned his intention of retiring from public life,—a decision worthy of the judgment of this extraordinary man, for although now in the full vigour of in tellect, the Prince feels that when men become Octogenarians they are better qualified for a sta tion of repose than for a life of turmoil—but he does not mean, we understand, to retire at the earliest for several months. Three persons are already named by their respective friends as his probable successor—General SEBASTIANI, Ge neral BAUDRAND, who was here some time ago on a special mission, and Count FLAHAUT. The latter, we think, the most reasonable state ment. M. de FLAHAUT is a man of the highest talents, and being the husband of a Bri tish Peeress (the Baroness KEITH), he must have feelings towards this country in unison with the policy which unites it with France. It appears that the British and French Charges d'Affaires at the Hague have not communicated any thing very satisfactory respecting the project 9f a convention submitted to Holland by Lord PALNIERSTO'N and Prince TALLEYRAND. The Dutch Ministers separately have stated their nixiety to terminate the affair, but the KING is as obstinate as ever. We have recently heard an anecdote connected witk the late election for West Kent, which affords so striking and complete an answer to one of the favourite fallacies of the opponents of the Ballot that we cannot forbear relating it. Sir WILLIAM GEARY, a young man, indeed so young that he cannot or ought not to have been very long from school, was set up as the Conservative candidate against Messrs. HODGES and RIDER. The clergy enerally, and a large portion of the squirearchy, used the most pressing arguments with all over whom they had any influence, to vote for Sir ' WILLIAM. The question of whether their poor dependents approved of his principles was never put to them, the command being distinctly, " You go with me to-morrow to vote for Sir WILLIAM GEARY." Among those to whom some such argument was addressed, was a poor, but exceedingly honest and industrious man, who, to eke out his means, acted as clerk in a certain parish of West Kent, which had Tunbridge for its polling place. We have said that he was honest and indus trious, which almost implies that he had good plain common sense, and that plain sense inclined him to the liberal side in politics. We are not quite sure that he had not promised to vote for HODGES and RIDER, but at any rate it was well known in the parish which way his inclina tions tended. The polling day came, and PRICE (for so we beg to call our hero) was met at Tunbridge by some gentlemen of his parish, but residing at a distant part of it. They offered to shake hands with him ; he drew bacl7, burst into tears, and said, " What, will you still shake hands with me, when I have been forced to vote for Sir WILLIAM GEARY ?" The gentlemen did shake hands with him, and it seemed to sooth his feelings, but he left the town bowed down with the sense of his degra dation. He had acted a lie to promote a cause he did not approve of. The opponents of the Ballot pretend that that mode of voting will give rise to lying and hypocrisy, but what did this man do when he gave his vote, but lie ? The act of voting is a form, if we may so speak, of saying, " I consider this the most fit man offered to my choice to represent me in Parliament." For a man to give his vote, not so thinking, is, as we said before, to act a lie. Supposing , then, that a man does promise his landlord to vote for a particular person, and by means of the ballot votes for some one else, the utmost that can be said is, that in giving the promise he played the hypocrite and lied. But no ouc will venture to say that the offence is any thing equal to that which is committed under the present system, when a man is obliged to vote against his conscience. We imagine, too, that a man who broke such t promise would, if any thing, feel himself elevated instead of degraded , like the poor wretch whose feelings were trampled upon in the case we have mentioned. What we say is, that under, the Ballot, landlords will not ask for promises, the performance of which they cannot insure ; but if they should, which they would have no business to do, the sin, if any, lies at their door, and not at that of the man who promised, under fear of them, to do that which he believed to be Wrong. Of course what we say goes to the total abolition of the present system of canvass ing, which we hope to see considered just as infamous as the solicitation of Judges on Jury men, to influence their decision upon a trial. Let Candidates plead their cause at the bar of public opinion, at meetings, through the periodical press, and in pamphlets, and we will answer for it, that the vote by ballot would, in its results, accurately vindicate the es t eem in which they were respectively held by the constituency. We have, in another column, inserted a letter upon the subject of vote by ballot, signed " A Friend to Mo rality and Honesty," which, we think, gives a very fair explanation of the causes of the mis apprehension which exists in the minds of many with respect to it. We have great pleasure in referring our readers to it. Several of our contemporaries, the Chro nicle especially, have been, very needlessly, we think, lately wasting a number of angry words on the subject of the Speakership of the House of Commons. They look upon the election of Mr. MANNERS SUTTON as a defeat of liberal principles and a triumph of Toryism. How stand the facts ? Mr. SUTTON is acknowledged to be an excellent Speaker. If he retires the country is saddled with a large pension, if he preserves his place the pension is saved, and instead of the Tories reaping a triumph the fact would only show the utter contempt in which their strength as a party is held by the Reformers. The election of a Speaker used to be considered a trial of party strength, but such need not be the case, nor do tine think it will be in future. The Chronicle considers the very " suspicion of the Tory representative for Cambridge University keeping order in the House as disgusting." We are surprised that our excellent contemporary the Chronicle should be so far misled by sounding words and ancient prejudices, as to lose sight of the substance, which we take to be the obtaining of an efficient Speaker at the least possible cost. That object will be attained by electing Mr. MANNERS SUTTON ; and as to the good he will do to the Tory cause in the office of Speaker, it will amount just to none. A letter on the subject of Ireland, signed " DALETI-1," will be found in another part of The Sun, to which we invite the notice of our readers. It takes a comprehensive view of the subject, is written with feeling and energy, and on the subject of that most intolerable nuisance, the Irish Protestant Church, is remarkable for the boldness and sagacity of its opinions. Nor must we omit to allude to the spirit in which the writer views the Repeal Question, which he considers will, if carried, be unquestionably the cause, not of a partial, but of a complete separation between the two countries. It is in this light that we have always viewed the question,—while we have allowed (for is it possible to do otherwise !)1 that Ireland has many great and crying injuries to be redressed ; while we have allowed, that, under the regime of the Tories, she was always looked on as a slave, on whom courtesy would be thrown away ; yet, nevertheless, we have considered the Repeal of the Union as a measure likely, not to heal these wounds of centuries, but to aggravate them,—in fact, to put the seal to Ireland's ruin. If the Repealers hope effectually to benefit their country, they must be content to do so in a United Parliament. On a satisfactory Church Reform, as well as on the removal of many other flagrant abuses, they may confidently reckon, if they only make common cause to secure it, in a constitutional manner. A correspondent informs us that the police are actively engaged in removing from the walls a placard which has been placed upon them by some disappointed men who have returned from Oporto, and who appear to be patronized by the Miguelite agents in this country. False and calumniatory as the placard in question is, we still think that if the police are acting, as our cor respondent states, their conduct is unwarrantable to the last degree. If the Police Commissioners are to determine what may or may not be made public in the streets, what security have we, that a placard for a public meeting, for the legal expression of feeling on a political sub ject, may not be removed, provided the police think it unpalateable to the Government ? Setting aside the illegality of the present act, we have great pleasure in noticing the source from which it proceeds, as it proves that the wishes of the Ministry are with the righteous cause ; but where is the necessity, to say nothing of the right, of such a proceeding ? If the wretched adven turers who have issued this placard against Don PEDRO had not been thought too contemptible for prosecution, the agents of that personage would have taken legal steps. They have, how ever, adopted the wiser course- No man of common sense can read the placard without being struck with its scurrility and falsehood, without being convinced by the statement of the lih; filers themselves that they have been driven from Oporto for reasons which they are ashamed to own. Every body knows that, from indiscretion, or some worse cause, many of the inferior agents of Don PEDRO had sent to Oporto men who would have disgr a ced any s oc i et y, and brought discredit upon any undertaking. No wonder, then, that some of these men have been sent back to their native shores. The only real cause of complaint that they can have is that they have not received the whole of their pay ; but has Don PEDRO had the means of paying up all the arrears, and is it not a fact that his own secretaries, who, from having had their property confiscated by the Usurper, are destitute, have been nearly two years without salary ? When men of honour are compelled to make such sacrifices, we must not be surprised at a little deficiency of payment towards persons who, if they had their deserts, would be paid in a very different way. Had they behaved well, and waited patiently until funds had been pro vided, they would not have had to complain of ill treatment from the Chiefs of the army which they have endeavoured to disgrace. Those who have not seen the placard alluded to, may form some idea of its character when we tell them that one of the paragraphs is headed in the following words:--" MIGUELITE HUMA NITY AND BRITISH BARBARITY." MI GUELITI; HUMANITY! ! Really this is draw ing too largely upon our credulity. Frankfort Papers, bringing Vienna dates to the 26th, Berlin to the 22d, and Frankfort to the 30th ult., arrived this morning. The former state that the young King of HUNGARY was at the point of death, and announce that the negotia tions respecting Portugal are going on favourably. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

This vessel ar rived at Liverpool on the 6th instant. The Industry, Main, of Atka, struck oil a rock at the entrance of Lochindabl the let instant, and sunk; crew• saved. The Thomas King, Williamson, Railed from Portsmouth the 21st October, and arrived at Demerara on the 20th November, all well.

George Smith was found guilty of stealing the till, containing about 31., from the shop of a baker at Stepney causeway, named Burmpstead. The CHAIRMAN had no doubt but that in the prisoner (aged 14) the Court had got one of the leaders of those numerous gangs of young street thieves ; therefore it was his duty to make an example of him, in order to break up the system.—Sentenced to seven years' transportation. Two other young boys, one 12, and the other 13, were indicted for the same offence, but as they were only seen picking up some of the money when Smith upset the till, they were acquitted. George Yarflo!d was indicted for stealing a quantity of wearing apparel and linen from the house of a mangler, in High-street, Poplar. Verdict, Guilty; sentence, three months' imprisonment and hard labour. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK The only arrivals this morning are two French mails, by which the accounts from Bruss e ls an d A n t werp state, that the Belgian army under the command of General llaine, entered Antwerp on the 3d January, and was to leave immediately, to take up a position in advance on the road to Bergen-op-Zoom. General Evain reviewed the troops in the PI ,ce de Meer, and the enthusiasm was great, which became louder on hearing the mu- of cannon from the direction of Fort Lillo. A general report pre vai'ed at Antwerp, and letters direct front Holland also state, that the Dutch troops were on the eve of attacking the Belgians. The Belgian army which is going to meet them, consists of the Civic Guard of Courtray, one regi ment of the line, eight squadrons of Lancers, two regiments of Chasseurr, the sth and 12th regiments of the line, with a battery of artillery. It was reported that the Dutch were going to make an attack from two points, Breda and Venloo. Accounts from Boulogne state that a new detachment of 500 volunteers were embarked for Oporto there on the 29th of December, and set sail on the 30th for their des• tination. The journey of Field Marshal Paskewitsch to Prussia has caused great fear that a general peace will not be long maintained, but others assert that his journey relates to the affairs of Poland. The capitulation of the Citadel of Antwerp, when made known to the Prussian troops stationed in the Rhenish pro. vinces, caused some fermentation amongst them. THE FUNDS. Consols, which left off yesterday at 871 for the Ac count, are stationary this morning at the above price, with very little doing at present. The speculators and jobbers are anxiously waiting the answer of the King of Holland to the convention proposed to him. A Morning Journal has published an account of a loss sustained by Don Pedro's troops of 800 men. This in formation is said to have come by the last arrival from Oporto by the Osprey, which left on the 25th. All we know positive on the subject is, that the letter from the C iptain of the said vessel to his owners, who was three days at Oporto, does not make any mention of the above event, and we do not hear that any other letter has been received. It is rather extraordinary that we have no authentic accounts since the l7th ult. from that quarter. In the Foreign Market nothing doing. HALF-PAST ONE. We have every reason to believe from our private source of inform ition that the King of Holland's answer• to the proposals of the English and French Governments will be of a favourable description ; it is not expected that it will be despatched from the Hague until to-morrow. Consols have become, since the early part of the morn ing, rather heavy ; at that period they were 87- for the Account, and went up to 88 to ; at present they may be quoted at 87j For the first time this day the Commissioners for the Sinking Fund have purchased, but to a very small amount, only 250 3i per cents. ; but have purchased to a greater extent for the Saving Banks—about 25,000. This pigmy puraha•e boa the efccot of improving the Market. In the Foreign Funds little or nothing doing. THREE 0' CL 0 CK. Console for the Account, 87ii. CLOSING PRICES.-FOUR O'CLOCK.

AN AWFUL INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATH. —Yesterday afternoon an inquest eras held at Mr. Palcz's the Sun, Long-acre,: before J. litcxs, Esq., Coroner for Westminster, on the body of JOHN LABINERT, Esq., chief clerk to Mr. BELsitaw, wise -merchant, of Covent garden. The deceased was a few moments before his death taking tea with Mrs. PRICE, and conversing in the most cheerful manner ; after drinking a cup of tea he rose for some purpose and left the room, and on returning to the tea-table he placed his hand upon his heart and ex claimed 0, my Gon ! fell down, and instantly expired Dr. RoatxsoN, of Long-acre, who had attended the de ceased for some years, stated that the deceased bad met with his death through an internal haemorrhage. His con versation was at all times of the most intellectual descrip tion, he having been a Member of the University of Cain bridge, and a classic of the very first water. He had for some months previous to his death complained of violent pains in his chest; but on Sunday, the day on which he died, he was particularly cheerful. Verdict—Dirt by the visitition of God. • SECOND EDITION. S UN- 0 U., Seven o' Clock. 1 1 11 E LONDON GAZETTE THIS EVENING. LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S-OFFICE, JAN. 7, PFf-13.

ADELPHI THEATRE.—A new three-act piece, called Don Quixotic ; or, The Humours of Sanco Panza, was produced at this Theatre last evening with decid-d success. The piece, as the title declaree,sitne more at broad and rather extravagant humour than at precise wit. It obtained its end, and created considerable merriment troth the beginning to the close. The scenery does great credit to so small a theatre, and we particularly admired the scene of the Windmill and Sheep Valley, and the last scene, Falls of Real Water. The piece was preceaed by a very pretty, if ant original Overture, by Mr. H. R. BISHOP. Mr. YaTXS announced the repetiton of Dor. °la.:vile every night, amid very general applitiee.
