wear unitorrus nor receive pay, and only to be er-
e:chat* on Sundays ; and are to be dratted oecasiu •-

newspapers say, ought by no mesas to be looked
upon as militating against the pacific system adopted
by our Court; but as one wines was proposed' or-

LONDON,
THURSDAY, Ssuaw.,i 21.

%%Fe this day resume our eitraesTrom the foreign
papers which we received on Monday, and give also
the substance of Dutch papers t.) the 20th, and Ham-
burgh Journals of the 160 instant.

Sir Arena hear is said to have commenced a
negotiation with the Porte. in which he demanded
that Egypt should be delivered up to England unti
the period of a definitive peace with France; but
how, "rhea. or set ere, this negotiation was com-
menced, is not mentioned. With the exception of
Otis teautheeticated paiagraph, the foreign papers
coot sin little else that is new, of any interest, elcept
confirmation of old reporte. The surrender of
Cettu. and the oilier 'nun Wands, by Russia to
France, and their occupation by the latter. we com-
arunicate.l on Tuesday. This event took place on
the 19th last. It does not however :wear that Rns
►ia has, with the abandonment of Cattaro, and thy-
Republic of the Seven Islands, entirely rencu;.ced
het schemes of ambition in the tinurh. tier troppt
are marching from the North fur Moldavia and

Y4lactria, notwithstanding she had stipulated
to evacuate these provinces, and that hostili-
ties have ceased between her and Turkey. These
movements may be direfted immediately against
Turkey or Austria, which latter power appears to
be a little alarned, but they may ultimately affeel
Egypt and India. To Ho. AAAAA a these are
not objeCts of :emote ambition ; however im-
praClicable such views may appear to us at present.
The measures against British Cr.m:nerce are en-
forced with great severity in Holland. The Ham-
burgh papers contain some accounts of the damage
suffered by Copenhagen, in which the number of
killed is e.timated at fifteen hundred.
An article from Stralsund, of the 7th instant,
mentions that the island of Itugen has been evacu-
ated by the Swedes; but this intelligent: is probably
premature.

The Treasury Jnurnal; are all by the ears. Two
of them, The Sea and C9Urter, lately fired off a
tremendous shot against the charafter of the Danish
nation. 1: was a charge composed of catamarans,
40uhle.headeel, grape, and cannister, with a priming
of FVLSeti'll torpedo, and various other devices for
blowing up, or scuttling and sinking ships of war.
A third of the fraternity, The .Ih,rlim: herald, from
wham this precious information was withheld, stung
with jealousy, has ventured to give a point-blank
contradiainn to its corm atriots, and, stepping forth
the champion of the libelled Danes, asserts that the
holes in the bottoms of the Danish ships were merely
for the purpose of sinking them in their own har-
bour, if necessary ; and that there was no in.
tentirn of concealing them from the captors,
they being visible to the first boats from our
fleet that approached the shore. The Merald, not
content with this revenge, with a view to recover its
lost ground in eaily. official, authentic. confidential,
private intelligence, made a start on Monday, and,
in revenge, announced a new Ministry, in which it
cashiers Mr. CANNINS, and places the Marquis
Wexivsi v in hi: efFiee ; and tops the Mini-terial
Pyramid by superae.nuating the Duke of Po RTL ANo,
and appointing the Esrl of CH A [HA '1 his successor.
This has brought down upon %he Lrrald all the
weight of its rival Candidates for the golden smile;
of the •I'reasury. Yesterday they repeated their at-
tacks, and returned, with increased spirit, to the
charge. One of them, The Sea, last night gave
vent to ils vexation in the following strifteress
0. We noticed yesterday the profile of a •new
nisterial Arrangement given in a morning Paper ;
we coped it maely as the remour of the day,
which h ici lot even ?rohatririty to give it:zredit.
Tile Duke of l'oai LAND, we believe, entertains no

sort of int..!nii'm of resigning lit poet. He was
ended to i: by his :,overt ties, to whom he was at-
t.)diedhy every puslie and personal motive. when that
SJTEIFION was s!es^rted by Ministers who assumed
t' themselves the sole capacity of carrying on the
Government. His rank, his character. and his ta-
lents, rt,abled him to form an Administration, which
has, by the confession of all Foreign POWetil, exhi-
bited a degree of firmness, of vigour. and of wis-
d. m, unknown to their 'predecessors. That any
set of wen should wish to dissolve this Administra-
tion, oleo weaken the baud. by which it is kept to-
gether, we can impute. to no patriotic motive. We
may venture to assert. that the proposed arrange-
ment, *lit all its parts. is totally without foundation.
These repotts, however, as far as they concern the
People of this Country, are of no great moment;
they are known to be the mantifaaure of a party
anxious for change, and little solicitous of the
means by which is may be produced, and will be
invalidated or refuted by the stories of to-morrow ;
but the serious evil is, that the Ministers of Foreign
Powers, resident in this Countty, and who are not so
well acquainted wits the resties,ness, the ingenuity,
nor the hostility of Opposition, and who dread no-
thing so much as a change an the present spirited
and energetic Administration, are agitated and de-
ceived by them; aud, it is to be feared, some.
times aft upon them in their dispatches. Op-
pesitioe are well aware of this, and perhaps we
need seek no farther for the real origin and motive
of these and similar fiaions. With regard to a
paragraph which appeared in a P. per of this m3rn-
iiig. xespeZling the " assistance and advice" afforded
to the Administration by a Noble Marquis, of whose
talents there can be but one opinion, it scarcely
seems to require any notice from us; no Cabinet
would or could admit a person wholly irresponsible
into their Councils; and if, for argument sake. we
admit the possibility of such au anomaly, that person
must he incapable of making the aid whi:h he is here
supposed to give, a circumstance of public notoriety.
Upon the whole, we caution the Public against giv-
ing credit to all those rumours. which selfishness and
intrigue may spread:*
Having given the words of Thr Jr,, we are not
afraid of being charged with is,:sre2resentation s in
them the report of the rumoured change is charged
as the roanutatclore of a party, stranet. to any pa•

trintie motive, and it reprobates the idea cf
Marquis Wzxxist.er, as originating inn,.b bee
source. Now we do rrpeat, that the List of tle
new-Ministry was given originally by he Ai orhiit
Herald ; and the insinuation of the Nlarqais Wats
xesi.ay being a principal behind 0.! cariain,
ginated in Tim Morni,g Post of yesterday,
latter vestion is certainly one of great ennui,
importance. How the lirasury Jo4riatt have beets
led to commit thern.elves with each ether upon ir,
and the Change of Ministry, so advanced by one,
and iirnily contradieled by the test, we do sit pre.
tend L.) say, but anxiously wait fur their explaration.
