TUESDAY, Szorruisce 10, 182 i.

The modification of the Ministry, consequen
upon the death of the Marquis of LONDON DERRY
is not yet finally settled. The general opinion yet
terday was, that Mr. VANNING will be permitted t
go his way to India; that the Marquis of HASTINGI
on his return, will be appointed to the Vice•Royalt
of Ireland; and that Marquis WELLESLET wil
succeed to the office of Secretary of State fo
Foreign Affair,. This arrangement will require
or seven months for completion; but Purliameu
is not expected to meet until February next
and in the mean time the Duke of Wxxutecrrot
will in/rouge our continental interests at Views
and Verona; and should Parliament meet before th
return of the Marquis of HASTINGS, Mr. Pact,
is presumed, will be able to bear the brunt of th.
battle in the House of Commons for • time sufficien
to prove his strength, or if it should not be fount
adequate, to call in assistance.

Fridsy..see undentond, is fixed for thedeparton
of the Duke of WLLLINOTON for Congress.

The Third Report of the Commissioners to it
quire into the Collection and Management of tI
Revenue of Ireland, &c. occupies s large spec* ii
our columns this day. It is an article of great in
terest, containing suggestions which, if adopted
we think must prove beneficial 16 that country.

We learn from • Hamburgh Paper that al
secret societies hare been recently prohibited i.
Russia by a miuisterial rescript, and that the soviet
of the freemasons has been specially named in tli
rescript. The freemasons have for many years been
the especial objects of jealousy to many. of the Go
vermutnts on the Continent; but we wilt venture to
say this jealousy does not arise so much from the
principles and tenets of the masonic body, as from
an apprehension on the part of the several Courts
that in those countries the people could not met
together for the purpose of interchanging °plain
without necessarily discovering the abuses of th
Governments under which they lived. There is a:
admirable mode practised In this country of pre
venting the possibility of our seeing any politics
tnischiefs arise from the society of freemasons
Our KING is, we believe, still the Greed Master o
the masonic body, and the society embraces no
only persons of every rank among the Commoner
of the empire, but also Noblemen of every politica
opinion, and even the Princes of the Royal Family
Comprising such members, the society could do
harm, but an interdict against their meetings cool•
have no other effect than to infuse an additions
spirit into the society, and to direct the minds c
the members to trace the motives which had is.
duced the Government to suspect danger from an eat
iiitercourre among any portion of the people. W
may prob.tbly suspect, from the anxiety now evince.
on this subject by the Russian Ministry, that some c
the "liberal ideas" which have caused so much slaw
in the southern states of Europe, have made the
appearance among the less enlightened people g
Russia. The Carbonari of Italy, the Liberals g
France, the Illuminati of Germany, have bees
occasionally held up to the detestation of the worli
as the enemies of social order—as scions from th..
old stock of Jacobins, the worthy disciples of 11
CODOS MOLAY. The Freemasons have nothing
common with these but their principle of secres:

grievances, and consider about the means of redres
We certainly should not be sorry to find that fee
lugs and sentiments had arisen in Russia which, I
acting in this obvious manner upon indifferent ci
cuinstances, would render even the meetings of t
Freemasons dangerous to the existence of the rub,
trary form of Government of that immem.
empire.

The Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday ha'

iteeheile conspiracy. Four of the Ptisoners,

similar letters, all of which were sent by the post.
Artoaw aT-Gatv BRA L did Dot fail to avail him-
of this circumstance, to argue that it was proof
positive of the existence of an immense coalition and
conspiracy, and though he did not charge the send-

the undoubted act of 'their accomplices, and
demanded that the letters be deposited in the hands
f justice, together with three which he and his
colleagues had received, and which contained the
I " Dagger" and " Death," to form the sub-
of a legal inqoiry. M. BARTHE, the 'Chief

indignatiou -which they felt et the iniquitous
manoeuvre thus planned for their ruin, and de-
clared that nothing but a hostile hand could have
eodesvoured to revolt the Jury against them.
