EVENING EDITION: THE WAR IN THE EAST. (From the Liverpool Mercury.) About seven or eight centuries ago all the potentates of Chri.agmdom engaged in what was termed a holy war, the abject of which was to expel the infidel fol lowers of Mahomet from Syria ; and now we behold the Christian potentates, as they arc styled, ready to take up arms, and to wage a general war, about this same Syria ; not, however, for the purpose of expelling or exterminating the Saracen, as in the former crusades, but in order to decide whether the Grand Turk, or his successful rebel Viceroy of Egypt, shall possess the self-same tetritorv, from which all Christendom com bined to expel their forefathers in the distant ages to which we have Auded. The balance of power, it seems, renders it politic on the part of the European potentates to espouse the part of the followers of Mahomet, who regard them all as Christian dogs, and all Europe may soon be in arms to sopport a Turkish dynasty, and perpetuate the most odious and grinding despotism that ever disgraced and outraged humanity. We have only to turn our attention to the past and present condition of one of the finest islands in the world, as evidence of the desolation which every where marks the withering track of the Turks. The beauti ful island of Cyprus, once a terrestrial paradise, is inti mately associated with all our early classical recollec tions, with all the fascinations of heathen mythology, with the story of Homer, and, more recently, with the achievemoots of our own lion-hearted and chivalrous Richard ; this ancient garden of the world, since it was wrested from the Venetians by the followers of Mahomet, has almost degenerated into a depopulated wilderness. _ . _ If we look at the island of Caitdia. also, which is one of the largest in the Mediterranean, we shall recognize the same system of nil - government, and the same disas trous results. It is lorded over by a grand Pacha with three tails, and two subordinate cormorants with two tails, also unmercifully plunder the miserable inhabitants during the period of their rule, and then hand them over to their successors, to repeat the fleecing process. The consequence of this system is, a total recklessness on the part of the devoted victims, who have no motive for industry in a country where there is no security for property Everything is suffered to go to wreck and ruin ; the houses are mean and ill-constructed ; and the harbour of Candia, the capital, which was once large and corn; modious, is now almost choked up with sand and mud. Although the crops of corn would be most abundant, with moderate attention, such is the insecurity of pro perty that very little grain is raised throughout the island ; and such is the paucity of its inhabitants, that, notwithstanding it is about one hundred and eighty miles in length, by from twenty to thirty in breadth, its population is scarcely equal to that of Liverpool. . . . . We arc aware that as tar as Egypt is concerned some improremrnts hive of late years been made in the so cial and political condition of the people by the enter prising and energetic Viceroy, but according to the re cent report of Dr. Bo wring, made public by order of her Majesty, the work of amelioration appears to proceed very slowly, and it may be wholly arrested by the sue ce,sor of Mehemet All, whoever he may be. TORY ATTACKS ON LORD RADNOR. Coleshill House, Oct. 8, 1840. My dear Shaftesbury,—l perceive that certain news papers persevere in publishing misrepresentations of my conduct in the matter which led to the late lega proceedings between the trustees of the Harnham end Wandford Road, and myself. On this subject I niih to set tnyszdf right with my neighbours ; and for this purpose address this lcttcr to you, as an act i ve trustaf—always, I believe, chairman of the meetings, when prescor, and, therefore, I presume, fully cogni z int of the whole case, and consequently able to cor rect me, if I make any mis-statement. It is asserted, that in the outset I made a demand of I,''oo/., as coaiptnsation for damage done to my farm by the new road, and that I sub.,:equently lowered my ciairn to 9001. Al this is utterly fals!... You know that I never made any demand at all, or demanded any specific sum whatever. What I did was this—On the 30th (or 31st) of December, 1836, I wrote to the trustees, and stated that I was told by persons coinpe ti.nt to form a sound opinion, that my farm was deteri orated to the extent of 301. per annum, and I requested the trustees to appoint same person to meet my steward, that they might cx Amine into the matter, and settle what comsensation should be paid me. No notice was taken of this letter fur five or six months ; but in June . (or July), 1837, I was: informed that the trustees would not comply with my request. I had then two courses open to me—either to acqui esce and submit to the loss, or to take measures to corn• pet them by law to bold the inquiry. I chose the latter course, Before, however, any step was taken, notice was given to the -clerk of the trustees, that I intended - to make application to the Court of Queen's Bench ; and he wrote in answer that his " orders were to op manner" he could. irrare— per,. 0e,,....-z--Lne puhre." - " - -14 -- I`..rthis statement you perceive any error, I shall he much chiiged to you it you will take the trouble to rorrcrt it. I only beg that you will let me have an opportunity of seeing the correction by sending it to me. It I receive none, I shall assume that you assent to and confirm what I have written. I am, deer Shaftesbury, your's truly, RADNOR. UNHOLY ALLIANCE OF THE WAR PARTY AND THE BREAD TAXERS. Again we desire most earnestly to impress upon our readers th:t their cause is the cause of peace. The alarm and Pxcitument caused even by the discussion of the probabilities of war have materially impeded the course of our agitation. Every newspaper is crowded with rumours, despatches, and diplematie notes ; scarcely can room be found for even a paragraph upon the bread-tax. If such be the effects of the mere anti cipation of war, what would be our case if the bells were again ringing the peals of victory, and the news pap-rs mere filled with the stirring details of the last battle ? Atnid6t the clash of arms, and the tempest of detnnniaeal pas ions, the cry of suffering humanity for bread :vnuld cease to be heard. Our enemies, who are 'cunning in their generation, find good cause for exulta ain in the prospect before them ; their delight peeps forth in art-er-dinner orations, and already have their newsp , pers pressed the chance of a war into their ser i cc, as an argument for upholding the bread-tax. Takr, for : sample, the following : " The events of the last few weeks must have caused vrions retlcetions to those who would have us depend upon the produce of foreign countries for the supply of the first necessary of life."—Mark Lane Express. " What, if in eon , equesice of the total and unconditioi al 'weal of th, Corn-laws, we were rendered to any extent dependent on-the Continent for bread, and a general war ensued 1 From whence then would come our supplies?" Manchester Courier. " time last year he did think the cause of the far mer looked doubtful, but now look at the change of events. Would any man wish to b~ dependent on foreigners for a supply of corn just at this present time ?"—Capt. Rama. ton's Speech at the late Bucks Agricultural Association. "And when they looked at the necessity that might arise at any time, considering the uncertainty of peace, and the probability of war, of their not only possessing the best beef for their soldie7s to cat, but the best horses for their cavalry to ride, they would feel the debt they owed to the agriculturists very deeply, when the farmers dedicated themselves to the breed of a description of stock so essen tial to the development of the energies of this great country, should they at any time be called into action.— ( Cheers. )"—Speech of the Vice-President at the Dar li Agricultural Association. This is no place for entering upon the causes or con sequences of hostilities ; but we tender the fraternal band to every friend of the human race, whatever may be his motives, who is labouring to quench the execra ble and murderous passion for war. Let the peace makers be active and diligent in their several circles in the endeavour to counteract the effects of the poison which the periodical press is administering to the public mind. Let them shoe/ that war is not only in itself the greatest of crimes, but that it is calculated to foster and cover eery other existing national evil. What stronger proof need we seek that all things false and immoral are in natural affinity and alliance with each other, than the fact of the bread taxers being the parties interested in the cry for war ; that they Who have taken th e poor man ' s bread now cry aloud for his blood also Ahti. • Corn law Circular.

Thomas Hornby Birley, Ford Bank, Didsbury ; Hugh Birley, ditto ; Joseph Birley, ditto; Richard Birley, ditto ; Hugh Hornby Birley, ditto ; Charles Cardwell, 62, Rodney street, Liverpool ; Edward Cardwell, 26, Woburn-place, St. George's, Bloomsbury ; Samuel Flet cher, Birch Hall, Rusholme ; Robertson Gladstone, 24, Abercrombie-square, Liverpool ; Stephen Heelis, solicitor, Manchester; James Lord, Buile-hill, Pendleton ; George Rainy, Exchange-buildings, Liverpool; William Slater, solicitor, Manchester ; John Abraham Tinne, Brearley, near Manchester • James llibbort Wanklyn, Crumpsall, Manchester ; John Bradshaw Wanklyn, Crescent, Sal ford, were severally objected to by the Reformers, all ap pearing to claim for an undivided seventeenth part of a chief rent of 36/. issuing out of lands and tenements at Brinksway. The first case taken was Mr. Thomas Hugh Birley. Mr. John Speakman, managing clerk to Messrs. Slater and Heclir, solicitor?, Manchester, being sworn, produced a paper which was handed up to the Barrister, who opened the same and perused its contents. Mr. Coppock, of Stockport—May I, at this stage of the proceedings, ask whether this is a paper or a parchment vote.—( Laughter.) Barrister—lt appears on paper. Mr. Coppock—Mllay Ibe allowed to look at it. In this manufactory of votes the minutiae of the trade are inter esting. The deed being handed to Mr. Coppock, it appeared to be a grant from Mr. neelis, the solicitor to the claimant, of one.seventeenth of the 361. chief rent. Mr. Speakman, examined by Mr. Coppock—Was pre sent when the deed was signed by Mr. Heelis ; ether similar deeds were also signed to the other claimants; each party's share is 21 2s. 6d. ; Mr. Heelis bought the chief rent about a fortnight before the 29th of January last ; it is conveyed to him on the 29th, and these deeds were all signed on the 30th ; Mr. Heelis's deed is here —(deed produced in parchment)—these deeds to the claimants are all on paper ; has possession of all the paper deeds ; were not prepared before the parchment one was executed; all made after the 29th and signed on the 30th ; Mr. Heelis, the granter of the rent, has alone exe cuted the paper deeds ; the claimants have none of them executed them ; the consideration money for each vote ap pears to be 47/ ; Mr. Heelis has signed the receipts for this sum : has never received the chief rent of 361., nor paid any money to the claimants; does not know whether they have received any of the rent or not ; does not know whether it has been paid or not; knows nothing further than being a witness to the deeds. Mr. Vaughan—That is my case. Mr. Coppock—Will Mr. Vaughan allow me to suggest, that as one of my objections to these votes will be the non possession of the parties, that if he intends to call any fur ther evidence of their enjoyment of this 21. 2s. Gd. fran chise it will be better to do so now. The Barrister—Yes; I think that will be the proper course ; have you any more evidence, Mr. Vaughan, to of fer? It not now ; you will be heard in support of this vote. Mr. Vaughan—l am not prep ired with any further evi dence. I have produced a decd granting a chief rent to Mr. Heelis, and a deed from him granting a sufficient in terest for a county vote to Mr. Birlcy. The latter deed is dated and proved to have been executed before the 30th January last, and therefore as the execution of the latter deed immediately by operation of law, vests the possession in Mr. Birley, I contend that I have established a suffi cient case. Mr. Vaughan, at some length, and with a good deal of vehemence of ;tanner, contended that this was a bona fide qualification, and one which could not be impeached. _ . Mr. Coppock—Allow me, Sir, before I go into the question of law in this case to make some few re marks on the extraordinary nature of the votes now attempted to be foisted on the electoral lists of North Cheshire. Seventeen gentlemen—men high in sta tion—proud of their politics, and vaunting of the wealth and respectability of their party—Tories who decry the humbler forty-shilling freeholders, and say that reformers are supported by the lower classeS, and arc want ing in the means and appearances which betoken respecta. bait) , and affluence. These are the- men. Birley, (re peating all their names and addresses), Esquires, gentle men freeholders, clubbing their joint purses, not to buy estates, but interests amounting to 2/. 2s. 6d. by the year ; which though unseen, for it is a mere rent-charge, yet they are here to contend, gives them the means of outvot ing thousands of acres, and of misrepresenting the interests ' of the bona fide freeholders of North Cheshire. Arc the freeholders of North Cheshire to be swamped by such an importation of outvoting partizans? I hope not, Sir. But if such should be the case, it is a game we can play at with the odds in our favour ; for, in a game of fabricated votes, we, who have the majority in our favour, can only blame ourselves if we arc beaten. If these votes can be allowed, every artizan can have his county vote, and a paper fran chise will be one general humbug of universal suffrage. lam glad the Tories have begun the game. I scorn their means, but they must be met by their own weapons. The Barrister—Mr. Coppock, I do not wish politics to be introduced here ; and I am happy to say that this re vision has been conducted by both sides with an absence of political discussion which has been very gratifying. Should you 11r. Coppock—l beg pardon, Sir, but really this is a case where, irrespective of party, strong language may not improperly be used, and I am sure you will find an excuse for any little warmth I may have displayed. I will say no mrrc, !R.: p err_ Q. , 1 to deal with the legality of these votes • - 0 .4.1nt._04 , 7 --.

Now, Sir, could I in stronger words than this Act supplies express my abhor rence of this paper constituency ? The Act goes on to say, that fur the purpose of preventing fraud, all these grants shall be registered twelve months before the election, and the grantee of the rent is to declare that he is bona fide possessed of the rent so registered. Now, Sir, though former Barristers have decided that this registra tion is necessary, yet, as you have decided the contrary, I am not now going to argue whether your position is cor rect, merely contenting myself with stating the fact, that these rent-charges are not registered, so that should any question thereon hereafter arise, I may not be debarred from the advantage of such objection. But, Sir, if the registration for twelve months with the Clerk of the Peace be no longer necessary, sur e ly th e bo n a fide possession must still be reqeisite. What evidence have we here of possession ? A piece of :parchment and a piece of paper—no rent received—no payment made to these claimants—no tenant to prove he acknowledges them as landlord. A mere scrawl, written in Messrs. Slater and Heelis's office at Manchester, a fraud upon the county constituency, proved by their own clerk— the grantee in possession of original deed, and of all its numerous splits—having, in fact, both his own deed and the deed professing to give parts of his rent to others. He, the only person executing the deeds, and not one grantee being proved in possession of any document whatever to show his title. Really, lam surprised that Messrs. Slater and Heelis, gentlemen high in the profession of the law, as they deservedly are, should have so condescended to be parties to so direct and paltry an infringement on the electoral rights of North Cheshire, as appears in this case. I therefore, Sir, object to the bona fide of this transaction. I object to their possession. They must have been in the possession or receipt of the rents and profits thereof for six months previous to the 31st July. There is no such evi dence. The evidence, if any, contradicts the paltry pre sumption of law that the signing a mere piece of paper in a lawyer's office confers a freehold vote in possession. They cannot say they have had no notice of my objection. Since the 25th of August they have had notice; surely therefore it was incumbent on them to be prepared to prove their case. But my friend Mr. Vaughan says you must presume pos session. Granted in a bona fide transaction. But what right has he to ask for a presumption in his favour in such a case as this. I appeal to you, Sir, where the avowed ob ject is the fabrication of votes to presume everything against the vote. There may not be such a chief rent at all. The only evidence is parchment and paper. No rent received ; none proved to be paid. The make fides of the whole case is so clear, and the evidence so deficient, that I do most confidently expect your decision of to-day will prove a salutary check to these electoral frauds. Let us ' A il vie are to have a property qualification for the choice of knights of the shire have substantial freeholders and not these invisible men—these paper freeholders. If other wise, I see nothing but an unsubstantial and despisable lot of paper freeholders, making the Reform Bill a mockery and the county franchise a mere matter of paper, ink, and fraudulent deed-s. Mr. Vaughan relied upon the law which vested the in terest the moment the deed was signed. Mr. Coppock had not affected the validity of the vote. He ( Mr. V. ) depended upon the possession which the deed vested in his clients. The interest was sufficient, and be left it in the hands of the Barrister. The Barrister—l am bound to say that much that Mr. Coppock has urged is entitled to great weight on this ques tbn, and it would have been much more satisfactory to me in giving my decision had some evidence however slight been given that these gentlemen had received their shares of this chief rent. Still in the absence of any evi. dente to rebut their presumed possession, I cannot make up my mind to expunge their names from the list. What Mr. Coppock has said in reference to this mode of making votes no doubt was intended not so much to influence my judgment but for the public. I have nothing here to do with that, and though I might have been better satisfied with further evidence, still I must allow the votes.

( Signed) " MARIA CHRISTINA. " Valencia, Oct. 12, 1840." MADRID, OCT. Is.—With this I transmit you transla tions of the official documents connected with the grave event which has just taken place amongst us here. A foreigner, Maria Christina, never amalgamated with the people or habits of the country which she temporarily adopted. Surrounded by the lowest society, and excluding from the Court all that was pure, virtuous, and patriotic in the country, she bocame an easy prey to moral and poli tical intrigue, and ended in disgusting the while nation by her connections and sordid avarice. Even all this might be pardoned; but what the Spaniards never could pardon was her becoming the centre and agent of a plan for placing Spain at the feet of France, and of robbing it of the institu tions which it secured at the expense of torren a of blood. Instead of a Queen, they come to sec in her but a spy upon the throne, ready to betray them at every opportunity. The endurance of such a state of things became impossi ble. The removal of it has been effected in a manner that does honour to the Spanish name and character. As to the fears of other civil dissensions or of foreign aggres sion, the Spaniards themseives do not entertain them, nor do I believe them well founded. Ordinary prudence in the Government will suffice to avoid the first ; Spain was never, perhaps, so well prepared us at this moment to re pel the second. Without sad mismanagement no Spaniard will rise to fi:4lit again for Carlos or Christina ; a nume rous, disoiplincd, experienced, and hardy army, with the known peculiar local and moral resources of the country, set aside all apprehension of foreign threats being realized. Under such circumstances, and with moderation and judgment displayed in conducting the events which have called for these remarks, I think better days may be hoped for Spain. She certainly loses nothing by the abdication of Maria Christina. JUNTA OF THE PROVISIONAL GOVERN- MENT OF MADRID. Through an express which arrived last night at nine o'clock, from Valencia, the Junta received the following official communications:— " Office of Secretary of State. " SIR, - Her Majesty the Queen Regent was pleased to dissolve the Cortes yesterday, as you will perceive from the enclosed printed copy of the Decree issued for that purpose. " Her august Majesty has been also pleased to re sign the Regency of this kingdom this evening, which was confided to her euring the miuority of her daugh ter Isabel IL, which free and voluntary act has been performed in the most solemn manner, all the authorities and other persons of this city, whose circumstances could contribute to its authen tication, having assisted on the occasion. An auto. graph copy of her resignation, and directed by her Majes'y the Queen Regent to the Cortes, is herewith subjoined. Of the whole an act has been formed, of which I shall transmit you a copy to-morrow, it being impossible to do so to day. The most complete tranquillity prevails in this city, and her Majesty and the Infanta continue to enjoy the most perfect health. God grant you long life. "JOAQUIN MARIA FERRER. " To the President of the Junta of Provisional Government of Madrid. " Valencia, Oct. 12, 1840." " TO TILE PEOPLE OF SPAIN. " Appointed Ministers of the Crown at the pr.;posal of the Duke de la Victoria, we considered it our sacred duty to accept an office of so much difficulty in the critical and delicate circumstances of the nation, when her Ma. jesty, in the Royal Order of the 16th of September, by which he was named President of the Cabinet, with au thority to select his colleagues, manifested her desire of establishing peace and concord, and of omitting no means of satisfying the wants and wishes of the people. These, too, were our sentiments ; and we could do no less than endeavour to e ffect their realization, without ceasing to deserve the name of Spania*ds, of whom we are proud. " We proceeded, therefore, with all the speed possible to this city, and presented ourselves to her Majesty, to commence our duties. We expected nothing less than that a programme would be demanded from us, because we believed it to be required, and even formed by the existing circumstances, and more particularly the Royal order al luded to. We had, however, to present one, and later events render it necessary that Europe should know the bases upon which it was founded. These bases were, that her Majesty would give a manifesto, in which responsi bility of Ministers for the past would be insisted on ; that a promise should be made that in future the Constitution would he respected and fulfilled religiously ; and that in the new era commencing in Spain, the natural conse quences of that Constitution would not be obstructed or neutralized by the sinister influences of either na tives or foreigners. This we conceived to be one of the first -necessities to be satisfied ; and in order to save her Majesty the disagreeable feeling that would arise from the supposition of those persons who had recently en joyed her confidence being criminal, we attributed, in the manifesto which we had the honour of presenting to her, the lamentable consequences which had ensued to errors in their Administration. The dissolution of the Cortes, and convocation of a new one, preceded by the election of provincial depute. tions, although not strictly in conformity with the condi. tions assigned by the Constitution ; the suspension of the municipal law until revised, supporting ourselves in the unconstitutional nature of that law ; the preservation of the Juntas till the assembling of the Cortes, with au auxiliary character only, and without exercising, aoy , authority in matters of GOverament,; the deferring , towards-the Cortes the , decision of political. questions *bleb' :had i been-started, and especially that of the Regency, assuring her Ma jesty that it was very possible that the opinion• enter s tained on this subject might changer in the interval, it ii - ur;og iiii; --.4 = .C.'.liiral.,^. Dn.i,' 4,- shoes, nror- , Sed to 1 ov ui;Laitlect by co-regents v,i.ri ri:ii—these, the say, Iwere the wants which we considered called for by cir cumstances. " The document in which these bases were proposed having been read to her Majesty by the Minister of the Interior in our presence, her Majesty, without having made any objection to what was stated, required us to take the oaths of allee, which we did without hesitation, because we had more than suflioient reasons to believe that the mea sures we laid before her Majesty would be accepted. But great was our surprise, upon hearing her Majesty imme diately after object to then all, and assert her firm and de cided intention of resigning the Regency, anti of travelling for some time. In vain we endeavoured to convince her Majesty that such a step might be dangerous to the welfare of the nation, perhaps to its institutions, and even to the throne itself; but nothing could induce her to alter her resolution. " Convinced, she said, that the good of the country re quired her to take this step, and adding that the state of her health did not permit her to continue in the discharge of such her% y duties, our arguments were entirely rejected. In this critical situation we occupied ourselves in preparing the means of giving effect to her intentions, which could not now be resisted, and with the decorum and precautions which the case required.. " The act of resignation took place in the presence of all the authorities and persons of distinction in the city, and was reduced to an autograph document, to be pre sented to the Cortes as soon as they assemble. Copies have been transmitted to the diplomatic representatives of the allied and friendly nations, with all the respect and speed possible, in order to prevent the errors into which public opinion might run upon a subject of . such grave im portance. The preparations for her Mapsty's departure have been made with all the decorum which the nation and the dignity of the mother of our Queen demanded. The Provisional Regency has been estatilished, and the Spanish people may rest satisfied that for the short time which the Provisional Regency has to last, it is real) , to sacrifice itself for the security of the public happiness and liberties, and prepared to satisfy wishes which have been so worthily and imposingly manifested bt the nation.

JESTY QUEEN ISABEL BY THE COUNCIL OF MINISTERS. " Madame—From the moment the election of the ac tual Cortes was announced, a general outcry was raised against the measures adopted for carrying the elections into effect. Experience has taught us the justice of this outcry, and no one presumes now to assert that these elections were conducted with the freedom required by the electoral law. The fatal project of the municipal law came to confirm the suspicions which had been formed, and the obstinacy with which it was maintained and ap- proved, and even the unusual course pursued in its dis cussion, increased the unpopularity of the Cortes to such an extent as to produce public demonstrations of dis content against it. The law of tithes and others which public opinion rejected completed the work, and one of the principal demands made by the nation upon ris ing bas been that the actual Cortes be dissolved—a de mand that, in the circumstances under which it has been made cannot be opposed. We have therefore the honour of proposing to your Majesty the dissolution of the Cortes; and, that it, may take place in the manner required by cir cumstanc:s, propose the following decree:— " Duke de la VICTORIA.

" TO THE CORTES, " The actual state of the nation and the delicacy of my health have decided me to resign the Regency of this kingdom, which was conferred upon me during the mino rity of my daughter, Isabel the Second, by the constituent Cortes of the nation, convoked in 1836, notwithstanding that my legal advisers, with the honour and patriotism which distinguish them, bavo besought me most earnestly to continue in - the Regency, at least till the meeting of the next Cortes, believing such step to be beneficial to the country and the public cause : but being unable to yield to some of the demands made by the people, who, maintain itself, but then still the question will be doubtful. " Guizot will leave London on Sunday next." (From the Morning Post.) " The Ist of March Cabinet has ceased to exist. The cause you will find in my letter of Tuesday last ; but I did not anticipate that Louis Philippe would have been forced to form a new Ministry on the eve of the meeting of the Chambers. On Tuesday a draft of the Royal speech was presented to the King, who objected to the paragraph setting forth a cams belli. Yesterday a Cabinet Council was held, and the obnoxious para graph was still maintained. On the King refusing to agree to this warlike demonstration, M. Thiers and the remaining Ministers tendered their resignation. I cannot positively state that it has been accepted, but I have good reason to believe that it will be. Marshal Souk is with the King at the hour I write. Not the slighteA doubt seems to be entertained by political men of all shades of opinion that a Guizot-Soult Cabi net will be formed, Guizot to take the Department of Foreign Affairs, and Soult to be President of the Coun cil sad Minister of War ; Admiral Duperre, Marine ; Duchatel, Finance ; Dufaure, Interior ; and Ville main, Public Instruction. M. Passy would also have a post in this Ministry. Nothing can be more alarming than the political aspect. We have the alternative of war abroad or convulsion at home. The abdication of Louis Philippe before fifty days is confidently predicted. " Rumours were current last night of the break up of the Cabinet, but they did not assume sufficient pro. hability till noon this day to justify me to send an ex traordinary express ; nor unless anything particular should occur will that course he taken by me to-night:' (From the Morning Herald.) "PARIS, OCT. 22, FOUR O'CLOCK. " I sent you at two o'clock this afternoon an extra ordinary courier, with the important announcement that the whole of M. Thiers' Ministry had given in its re signation, and that the King had accepted it. " The cause of quarrel between the King and M. Thicrs arises from the different colour which his Ma jesty and his Minister wish to give to the speech from the throne. The King desired to have the speech so clearly indicted that all the world might read France wanted peace, and peace only ; while M. Thicrs was resolved that the preparations for war which have been made should be justified from the mouth of Louis Philippe. " The discussions on this point have been going on for several days ; but at half-past twelve o'clock last night the difference came to such a height, that the Ministers in a body resigned, and the King accepted their resignation. " The King instantly sent for Count Mole, who is his favourite, and who has the confidence of the Conser vative party and of foreign Courts ; but Count Mole excused himself under same pretence, and declined the intended honour. " Marshal Soult was then called for, and he at once accepted the trust reposed in him, and undertook the formation of the Cabinet—the basis of his arrangement being that M. Guizot should be the Minister of Foreign Affairs. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stß,—The of the Military in quiry into the case of Captain Reynolds, has given rise to a meeting ht.re, of friends to justice and supporters of gentlemanly discipline in the British army. Without trespassing at any length in reporting the feeling exem plified in consequence of the decision of the Court, by which it appears that a gallant officer has been sacrificed to tyranny and oppression, I beg to announce that the gentlemen composing the meeting have determined to set on foot a penny subscription, thus giving an oppor tunity for all disposed to express their detestation of oppression ; and I shall be happy to forward the receipts and other information to any central or metropolitan Committee, which may be formed, for the honourable and necessary purpose intended. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, JA MES BA.TTERSBEE, Treasurer. • Gcorge•strcet, Croydon. The resignation of the Thicrs Ministry is a most alarming event in the opinion of well•informed persons. " As M. Thiers goes out for war, he throws on the King all the popular odium of submitting to what will be called a dishonourable pc,,ce. He will be the apostle of the war party, representing the most violent as well as the mast numerous portion of the French people, and supported by the journals of the greatest circu lation. "'The King will be overwhelmed with public cla mour, and, possibly, forced to the desperate measure of an aLdieation. " Had M. Thiers permitted the King to open the ses sion with a moderate speech, M. Thiers must have fallen beneath the scorn of his o: , :n party, and the weight of the 221 friends of order and of peace. " The King called the Chambers with the hope of, by their votes, getting rid of an obnoxious Minister, and a still more obnoxious policy, but he has failed ; M. Thiers was too cunning to be betrayed to his own ruin, and by thus resigning Lefore the Chambers meet, end on the question of peace or war, he holds the King in a vice from whence his Majesty may never extricate himself. " In my opinion the King will find so much difficulty in forming an Administration that M. Thiers must be recalled, end a warlike speech be framed, or s uch a pa ragraph introduced into it us will save M. Thiers before the country. "It is possible that M. Thiers will accept of no middle term, and that the King must submit to all he dictates. " I judged rightly when I said three weeks since that the convocation of the Chambers aggravated the diffi culties of the situation. " It is useless my repeating to you whet the Journals of this day say, as they are all written to a state of things which existed yesterday. " The Siecle is the only one which appears fore warned of the event. CAPTAIN REYNOLDS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stn,—The 'account of the result of the Court-mar tial in the case of Captain Reynolds, contained in The Sun of Wednesday, produced a very strong feeling here, and if you approve of the subjoined, and will give it a place in your paper to-morrow, it would be very gratifying to the parties here, who so promptly entered into the spirit of the resolution : At a meeting this evening at the Duke's Head Com. merciat News-room, it was proposed, and seconded, and carried unanimously, that a subscription of Is. each, should be immediately entered into, as a token of re spect to Captain Reynolds' general conduct, and to show their distpprobation of the sentence just pro nounced against that gentleman, and the meeting flatter themselves, and earnestly hope, that the country gene rally will follow their example. FRANCIS K. REYNOLDS, Chairman. Lyme Regis, Oct. 22, 1840. Sixteen gentlemen present subscribed their Is. each, and the numbers are increasing hourly. " P.S. ' Five o'clock, " Marshal Soult has named M. Duchatel for the Interior ; M. Guizot, Foreign Affairs ; M. Dufaure, Justice ; M. Pussy, Finance ; M. Villemain, Public Instruction ; M. Teste, Commerce. Marshal Soult, War, with the Presidency. " M. Guzot has been sent for by telegraph " Count Mole has certainly Duke (le tirogiie is to be offered the Foreign Affairs by courtesy ; but he will refuse. "'rite Chambers will be convoked in fifteen days." The following important communication is copied from the Afternoon Edition of Galignanrs Mes senger of Thursday : We have just received the important intelli gence that M. Thiers and all the Ministers have given in their resignations, on account of a differ ence with his Majesty relative to certain para graphs in the draft of the Speech from the Throne, which the King considered too warlike in their tendency." Count MOLE and Marshal SOULT had been sent for, to whom, it was supposed, would be committed the formation of a new Cabinet. The Funds were but little affected by the intelligence : ‘, The Three per Cents. which closed yesterday at 721.95 c. for the Account, are now at 721., looking heavy. The Five per Cents. arc at 105 f. 40c., so that the fall is not certainly more upon an ave rage than If. There is no excitement upon the Bourse, where it is said that M. Thiers alone has resigned, and that the peace portion, the larger section of the Cabinet, are determined to rally round the King. Long live the King !" (From Galis.ronni's Messenger.) We are confidently assured," says the Univers, 6' that the drawing tip of the speech from the Throne for the opening of the Chambers is giving rise to serious dissensions between the King and the Council of Mi nisters. His Majesty, it is said, wishes that the speech should contain a paragraph, in vague and pacific t erms , containing the new position of rance with respect to the Allied Powers. The Council, on the contrary, is said to insist on adopting a language more significant, and more in accordance with the demonstrations made since the 15th of July. If we are well informed, the solution of this discussion has been postponed for a couple of days, and may give rise to a Ministerial crisis." ELEVENTH DRAGOJNS. TO THE EDITOR 01 THE SUN. Sin—Lieutenant Crookshand, in 1814, was charged with a breach of the Articles of War, was found guilty, and cashiered ; but the Court-martial added the follow ing remark-: The Court cannot close its proceedings without commenting on the provocation offered to the prisoner by Captain 'F., and in consideration of the unprovoked and illiberal sentiments of Captain T. to that branch of his Majesty's service to which the prisoner belonged, recommend to consideration, &e.," I cith this only as a proof that at that time of day provocation was given in evidence, and allowed to weigh in extenuation. Yours, &c. A CIVILIAN. " James on Courts-martial," 626. LORD CARDIGAN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,--I beg leave to say a few words to you on the sub ject of that aristocratic gentleman, my Lord Cardigan's affair with the gallant young Reynolds. lam one of those dissatisfied politicians called Chartists ; and I put it to you as an honourable man, whether we are not perfectly justified in acting as we do, considering the manner in which the laws of the land can be administered in cases of partiality. How can we poor fellows expect justice, much less mercy, at the hands of the ruling power, when one of the very order they rely on to intimidate us, one of that order, without whose support we, the disturbers of social order, would be overturning the Constitution, is to be denied either; and this in the tee th, too, of public sympathy and the common laws of manly feeling. I feel this the more acutely when I reflect upon the injustice to which many of my own party have been victims, and the way in which the laws of the land and the " letters of the laws" have both been outraged to gratify the vindictive feelings of our oppressors. NVith the poor incarcerated victims of tyranny no one sympathises but the very poorest, for whose cause they suffer ; but when a gentleman is ill-used how very quickly you rouse public indignation to the circum stances of the case. Are we no•. entitled to some consi deration also—are the poor insulted Chartists to be en tirely forgotten ? We have received a hundred times more provocation than Captain Reynolds, and if we have a little retaliated are we not entitled to the same expression of popular sympathy ? But the middle classes and the gentry affect to despise us as no respectors of the Consti tution, and you see how these 4. Constitution sticklers" aro treated. In the affair or my Lord Cardigan, the Press, both Whig and Tory, have been against him from the beginning. The military, to a man, have also repu diated him, while the public at large have marked the pro ceedings with more than usual interest—yet the Horse Guards decides against them all—yet :the Crown confirms this decision, end neither Duke Wellington, the Tory, nor Lord Melbourne, the Whig, venture to, interfere in the matter. Oh, rare middle classes and gentry, how very little the Crown, and the Crown's created, care for you Can you do as much for Captain Reynolds as we did for the Dorchester labourers ? They were restored from slavery to freedom, from expatriation to home, from COM paniisn.hip with felons to the society of their families. Can you get restored to the brave young Reynolds his commis sio❑ again ? Try ! Clerkenwell, Oct. 22. A CHARTIST. COWES-ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORREMONDRNT.) OCT. 23 —The fineness of the weather, the opening of the Southampton Railroad, or the fear of passing the winter on the Continent, or in Guernsey or Jersey, has given us a much larger share of company than ever before remembered at this season of the year, and there are still we hear numerous applications for houses. The Earl of Munster and family embarked from the Fountain on Sunday. Lord Yarborough is gone to Appal.. dercombe. Lady Down, the Marquis of Conyngham, the Hon: Mrs. Norton, Lady Shadwell, Henry Bradley, Esq., and many others have left this week, but we have almost an equal number of arrivals. Mr. Meiklam has taken Egypt House for the winter ; Thomas Dent, Esq., Harriet Lodge ; Mrs. Arkwright has applied for Earl de Grey's villa ; Captain Meynell, M. P., is still at Oakhill House ; Lady Harriet Mitchell at Bath-buildings ; the Earl of lhlmore at Mrs. Good win's house; and Lady Ashbrook at the sth Cliff Cottage. The yachting season has nearly closed, but we have still some few yachts afloat—the last birds of summer. Nawronr.—Two desperate characters, Hart and Dore, broke out of our gaol last week, by cutting through the wall and dropping into the brook ; the former was com mitted for a burglary at Cowes, the latter for a robbery at Mr. Nunn's factory : by the actiity of Allen and his assistants they were both retaken, and lodged in solitary confinement, to be secure for the Sessions on Tuesday next WOOLWICH, OCT. 23.

Rey.. nolds, of the II th (Prince Albert's Own) Hussars, to gether with her Aldjesty's pleasure thereon, was promul gated in general orders to the Royal Regiment of Ar tillery, on Thursday, and ordered to be read at three parades. The troops in garrison at Woolwich commenced wear ing their winter dress on Saturday, the 10th instant.

It was at first understood that this vessel was ordered round from Chat ham to Woolwich to embark Captain James's company, under orders for some time for Malta. On the evening IVter her arrival orders were issued that the men under the command of Lieutenant- Colonel Colquhoun should em bark to-day, which they did this morning at eight o'clock. The baggage was put on board yesterday. Lieutenant- Colonel Colquhoun, Lieutenant Ross, the 25 non-commis- Isioned officers and gunners, are all that have sailed with the Hecate connected with the Royal Artillery ; the re maining portion, to form a company, not having been com pleted, they will be forwarded by a future conveyance. A non- ccmmiasioned officer and ten men of the Royal Sap pers and Miners embarked at the same time for particular service in Syria.

The English steam-boat which brought Prince Louis and his attendants to France, i s going to be restored ti its owner, by an order of the President of the Glam. ber of PCM. which has ordered the sequestration under wh . oh this :vessel has b een detained in the port of Boulogne, to be taken off. It is to be sent back to England as soon as its owner has ;rr;ved from London. • The Seidinelle de la Mari ne , a T ou l on J ourna l , o f the 18th, says--“ We are assured that the reserve squadron will be increased to nine ships of the line, and will have several frigates. It will be called the Me diterranean Squadron of Evolution, and will remain separate from that of the Levant. Admiral Lalande will arrive at Toulon on the 25th of this month, and will, it is said, take the command of a division of our second squadron. It is said that Rear-Admiral Hugon will shortly be promoted to the rank of Vice -Admiral: • • Captain Burand, commander 6 - f-theUranie,,has re turned to this port, to superintend the armnag• of that frigate. . • • Admiral Leland° is derfainly . - - leek Paris to-day for Toulon, where he will Wait,for the - mission which is promised hinr..• Admiral Duperre, it is said, has not yet r..ceived any communication from thc Mi nistry. The Univers of to-day says—" The armaments which have been commenced within these three months give us an army of 450,000 men ready to take the field. At the opening of the session the Miniger is to apply to the Chamber for a vote of credit to raise our army to 600,000 men." All this looks very grand on paper, but from the 450,000 men spoken of we must deduct first the 60,000 men employe,: in Algeria, then the 100,000 men that are going to be assembled about Paris ; then the garrisons of Lyons, and other great centres of popu lation, where matters have been so well managed that, instead of National Guards, which would have sufficed to defend such towns as Metx and Strasburg, lit tle armies are required to keep in check a population which should constitute one thought, but which has been made an obstacle.—Lc Commerce. The Gazette des Tribunaux states that a frotteur, lodging in the Rue Montmartre, was arrested yesterday morning on a warrant from M. Zangiacomi, the examin ing Magistrate. It appears that, from what has been elicited by the interrogatories in the prosecution of Darmcs, great importance is attached to the securing of this man, who was an old and intimate associate of his, always participating in his extravagant notions. Another man was taken into custody the day before yesterday on the spot where Darmes made his attempt. He had excited attention by his violent and incohe rent expressions, among which was " The mur derer of the last of the Condcs shall be punished, and die as he deserves !" On being taken into the guard-house, he gave his name, and said he was a journeyman tailor. The man was partly drunk. The DrUit says :—" Darmes, when he made his attempt, was in the utmost state of destitution. He had been for twenty-four hours without a morsel of food, and thus pressed by hunger, borrowed of a wine -dealer, whose house he frequented, 10fr. upon a ticket from the MOnt de Piete. A porter who assisted him in his removal from his preceding lodgirg, declared that there were no arms among the articles he carried, and every person who was in the habit of visiting him have attested that they never saw any in his possession. Others, who lived in the same house, have deposed that they saw Dames go out and return several times till twelve o'clock in the day. on, which he committed his crime, but not one of :them observed him to have any weapon. In the various low cafes in. the neighbourhood frequented by him, he .WAS. accustomed.to talk politics in terms so violent that,lae was, frequently turned out of doors. Among the persons arrested is said to be a man established in business who was known to be intimate .with Darmes, and also to have bid some connection with Alibaud, for whom at one time he obtained em ployment. Nothing, however, has transpired to prow. that he was in any way cognisant of the crimes of his two associates." The Toulonnais says that never, since the occupa tion of Algeria, have ,tive• - rv , . - tttiops been 44; tacked arta prr:nreranee by the Arabs that, (luring the march of General Changarnier's column to Milianah and back. The enemy , was enntinually close round the rear of the column in a body ofS,onnß,.hp... and from 7,000 to 8,000 horsemen, and the French had continually to fight with the armies blanches, that with sword and bayonet. At times, it adds, the Arabs and the French rear-guard were all mixed up together, in confusion, fighting hand to hand. The garrison of Milianah, this journal also states, had only 150 men capable of doing duty when the column arrived. AU the 'regular battalions of Abd-el-Kader's own division had taken up a position on the Col de Teniab, in order to binder the French from re-victualling that place, and it was thought that it would requireall the disposable force of the Governor-General to enable them to get a convoy to that place. A letter in the Commerce says that some of the muskets taken from the regular troops of Abd el- Kader are of English manufacture, with heavy barrels and bayonets larger than the French, and that the bear the Tower-mark on the breach. A correspondent of the Capito/c writes :—" There were left in garrison at Milianah 550 of the foreign legion and 600 of the 3d Light Infantry, of th ese 220 have been brought back sick, 180 of th em b e l onging to the Legi o n. Out of 1,170 men w h o occup i ed l‘tilianah, 700 found their graves there, in the short space of four months, 250. re main there dangerously ill, and of the 220 who were sent away, 40 have died on th e road, and 80 have been placed in th e h os pit a l s at Douiera and Belidah. Out of two battalions which left Algiers four months ago to garrison Milianah, scarcely 100 have been brought back, and these more or less sick, and in the most de plorable plight." RESIGNATION OF THIERS' MI MS FRY. ( From express x p Chronicle. ress th ) We have received Paris Papers of Thursday, w i t h a l e tt er f rom our correspondent dated Thursday aft ernoo n. Ou r correspondent says— " I have already sent you, by special courier of this morn ing, the fact of M. Thiers and his colleagues having tendered their resignation on Wednesday evening. Ministers had brought 1 heKing a draft of the Royal Speech. His Majesty objected, not to the warlike wording of the speech in general, or to that of any part of it, but to the announcement in one paragraph of the im mediate levy of 150,000 troops more. This included the atvicipated levy of the conscription class of 1841 • It seems that the German Powers have made stron g representations against the increase of the F • ren c n army, pointing out its inevitable re sult to b e , not to settle the Eastern question, but to di sturb the peace of Europe. The King, therefore, objected to - any such great addition for the moment to the military force of the country. Ministers imme diately tendered their resignations. Whether they would be accepted by the King persist i ng in his objec tions, or whether his Majesty would consent to the an. no uncelnent, was to he decided this afternoon, when a personage on behalf of the Ministry was to wait upon the King at S t . C loud. The B ourse , h owever , an d the Parisian public had already decided the question ; and it was universally asserted that the King bad accepted the resignation of Ministers, and had already appointed Marshal Soult to form a Gibinet. Count Mole, it was said, would join Soult. Great efforts have certainly been makin g to bri ng the M a rshal into an understand ing with Count Mole ; but the combination did not at all seen, to have succeeded hitherto." (Prom the Times.) W e have received also the following latter from an occasional correspondent : " Marshal Soult and MM. Duchatel and De La martine have arrived in Paris. Immediately after, a meeting of the principal Conservatives took place, and decided on the formation o f a new Ministry, which is already agreed upon between the principal leaders. The Ministry will be composed as follow s : " Presid en t o f the Council and Mi ter of War ................... Marshal Soult. Minister o f Foreign Affairs •••••• M. Guizot. " Minister of the Interior NI. Duchatcl. " Minister of the Marino Admiral Duperre. " Minister of Public Worship .... NI. Tes te. " Minist e r o f J ust i ce Minister of Public W0rk5........ M. Dubuc. Minister of Commerce ... ..... M. Cunin Gridaine. " Ministe r o f Public Instruction ••• bl. Viilernain. " Minister of Finance " In a word, it is the Ministry of the 12th of May, minus General Schneider and with the addition of M. Guizot and M. Martin (du Nord), the latter as a gage to the political men of the 15th of April. M. De Lamartine, without any personal conditions for him self, has undertaken to support this Ministerial combi nation, which, it is considered, will be infallibly realised, should the adhesion of M. Guizot bo obtained. Most of his friends advise him to adhere to it, and in that case the new Ministry will appear to be certain of a majority of 30 i n t h e Chamber of Deputies. In case , even M. Guizot s h ould not break w i t h M. Thiers se bornercit d laisser faire, which 1 ' the line of condue+ r - V 1 A ~ ,u all pTphabilpy uc I 7611 pursu, it i$ thOught that •,, not be able to I
