SUNDAY, OCTOBER 24.

Paris papers to the 20th, and Hamburgh paper
to the 18th, have arrived. Mr. Canning, it seems,
arrived at Milan on the 21st of last month, on his
way, it is said to Pesaro, where the Princess o
Wales now resides. The object of the Right Hon.
Gentleman's journey is understood to relate to the
concerns of that ill-fated Princess, but no intimation
can be hazarded respecting the precise nature of
his mission.

The Emperor of Russia had no sooner returned
to his capital from his journey to the more north-
ern parts of his empire, than he determined to on.
dertake another journey to the capital of Poland,
where he arrived on the 3d of this month. We find
the King of Wirtetubmg travelling also towards
Warsaw. It is conjectured that the Emperor will
accompany the King into Germany, with the inten-
tion of being present in Vienna, at the political dis-
cussions which are shortly to take place in that city.
The interesting young Princess of Saxony, who
has consented to unite her destinies to those of Fer-
dinand of Spain, arrived at Irun on the Qd of Octo-
ber, and was there received with every demenstra-
film of respect and attachment by her floor,. ,I.o•

A material depression of the Funds took place on
Friday, amounting in Consols to nearly 1i per
cent. The first price quoted was 68; for the ac-
count, and the muket remained stationary for
some time after business had commenced ; but when
the decline began it was extremely rapid. The
above stock fell to 68}, to 68, and to 67k, with
scarcely any reaction, and closed at the latter
price. Oruninm is at discount. The Foreign
Exchanges have been looking downwards for the
last fortnight, and on Friday fell in a greater pro-
portion than on the two post-days preceding. The
rate on Paris is now 25 f. 25 c.

The Courier of Friday states, with an air of con.
fidence, that "as a measure of indispensable pre-
eaution in the present reduced slate of the army, an
additit n of 10,000 men is to be immediately made
to the protecting force of the country." We arc
further told, that " this will be accomplished in the
most efficient and economical manner, by calling into
activity those who are receiving from the State the
rewards of their former services, and placing them
under the command of Officers already upon the
pension establishment. The services of a part of
the regular army will be in like manner rendered
available, by relieving the soldiers now in the gar-
risons and dock yards, and by substituting marines
in their place. With this view, twenty men will
Le added to each company of marines, making to-
gether eleven thousand six hundred men."
Tae Ministers seem resolved to display the ut.
most vigour in defending the country from every
violent effort on the part of its enemies. If they
can induce Parliament to accede to their desires
with respect to the extension of our military force,
they will have obtained one of the great objects tin
which their adherents have for some time been en-
deavouring to alarm the country. We trust, how-
ever, that Parliament will not permit its fears so
far to overcome its judgment as to prevent it front
inquiring into the tames of the agitated state of the
public mind, before it sanctions the adoption of
measures which, in their consequences, are calcu-
lated to increase the present anger and discontent.
No duuht can be entertained that in the want of
employment has originated the political ferment
which now excites the apprehensions of the Go-
vernment, and it would be consistent with sound
poicy and common sense to seek for the resto-
ration of tranquillity rather by removing the causes
of diseonnait than by adopting any violent mea-
sures.

The Funds on Friday experienced a serious fall,
to the extent. of 1 per cent., probably on account
of these intended measures,

The venerable and patriotic Earl Fitzwilliam has
been removed by his Majesty's Ministers from the
Mike of Lord Lieutenant and Cu.stav Rotulorum of
the West I;iding of the county of York ! Energy
is a noble quality in an Administration, and so also
i. discretion, and the Ministers have shewed them-
selves just as wise as they were vigorous in inflicting
this summary act of vengeance upon the head of
Earl Fitzwilliam, for presuming to hint a doubt
respecting the propriety of dispersing, by military
force, a meeting of the people at Manchester, and
suggesting the necessity of having some inquiry in-
stituted into a proceeding at once se violent and so
unconstitutional. %%Ind a contemptible efthrt of
puny spite I Did the wiseacres conceive that in
expending the phials of their wrath upon him whom
they have selected for its object they could degrade
Earl Fitzwilliam in public estimation, or d:minish
the respect iu which he is held by every man in the
country, not a member of the Cabinet ? In ofkr-
ing an insult to such a man they degrade and lessen
their own characters, and the indignity which their
petty anger would fling against him is retortea
upon themselves with ten-fold violence. They seem
altogether to mistake the nature of office. The
character of individuals is independent of the tied-
dent of place, and as there are many clothed with
the drapery of power, on whom, from the unkind-
ness of nature, nu external circumstance could confer
respectability, so there are others whose native dig-
nity requires no adventitious assistance from the
wand or robe of odiem Among the latter must
ever rank in the highest degree a British Peer, who,
exercising his rank, iothiciiie, and talcut.:, fin. the
his o,lllltry, and with undevi-
ating; thinness the siiitight path in' psit-hotiNia and
