Alit Admiral %bine had written to him an unpo as

letter. We are authorised to declare from persons who
are well informed, that M. Ellarraan had had every
reason to be satisfied with the manner and the
terms employed in his relations, as well by Admi-
ral Gobins, as by the other persons of the highest
rank, to whom he had occasion to apply at the Hague.
There has been circulated in the city a pretended answer of
the King, which we also declare to be a fabrication.
The King, granting nothing, or next to nothing, at least
could not but return the forms of urbanity, and even a
show of interest, which in politics are very reconcileable
with a firm refusal.

We have heard no more of the appearance of four Eng-
lish frigates off Ostend. At all events it would be ridi-
culous now to flatter ourselves with the intervention e
an English force in our affairs.
Aix-.LA.CIIAPILLIC, DEC. B.—The King has a'-
dressed the following Cabinet letter to his Envoy, the
General commanding the seven corps of the army :
" I have learned with particular satisfaction, from the
report made me by my son, Prince William, respecting the
exercises of the seven corps, that all the troops assembled
near Lippstadt were in the best condition, notwithstanding
the extraordinary difficulties arising this year from the
season and the localities. I am therefore happy to confirm,
in consequence of that report, the praises which the
Prince has already given in my name.
"I am also highly pleased with the excellent spirit which
my son observed among all the troops while they were
assembled, notwithstanding the difficulties with which
they bad to contend. I likewise acknowledged the laud •
able conduct of the Lsndwehr amidst the distressing cir-
cumstances peculiar to this year. I have thus been fur-
ther confirmed in the conviction that this corps, consi•
tiering the good spirit by which it is animated, will not
yield in any respect to its brethren of the regular army,
and will be like them under all circumstances and in times
of danger, the firmest support of the country.

" FERDINAND WILLIAM.

" 13erlin, Nov. 21, 1830."

Mr. SADLER, as we perceive by a long pamphlet
which has just reached us, has again taken up the
cudgels against the Edinburgh Review in defence of,
his favourite population theory, that " the pro-
lificness of human beings, under equal circum-
stances, varies inversely as their numbers vary."
Without halting to canvass the correctness or
incorrectness of this opinion—which the Edinburgh
Review has already done in an eloquent and un-
answerable spirit—we shall at once proceed to remark,
that, asa Statesman,Mr.SADLEß would be employing
himself to far better advantage, if, instead of devoting
his time and attention to abstruse metaphysical
questions, which in nine cases out of ten lead to no
conclusion, he were to cease to mystify his readers,
and apply his energies to more practical topics—
to inquire into the present state of the country—
whence its distresses originated—how far, and
in what manner they may be ameliorated.
A period of universal distress, and of as uni-
versal discontent, is not exactly the fitting pe-
riod for broaching barren dogmas and inconclusive
metaphysical subtleties. Asa Statesman, the country
naturally demands and expects in common with that
of other legislators, the aid of Mr. SADLER'S (not
theoretical) but practical experience. And bow
does the Hon. Gentleman answer this demand, ful-
fil this expectation ? By a verbose long-winded
pamphlet upon the Law of Population,—the Origin
of Evil—the Slave Census of the United States,_.
and, above all, the verbal criticisms of the Edin-
burgh Review! What wretched trifling is this!
How unworthy the shrewd, practical intellect of a
British Senator I Mr. SADLER seems altogether to
have mistaken the nature of his duties. What the
country stands most in need of at present is a
Statesman, not a metaphysician. It demands to
know how its population is to be fed, not how
it originated. Let the Honourable Member for
Newark resolve this former question, and we
will unhesitatingly allow him his right to discuss the
latter—even though the discussion should be as
heavy to bear as the Assessed Taxes.

Messrs. Ssurtt and DOLIER delivered their
Second Lecture on the interesting subject of the
Education of Youth, at the City of London Literary
and Scientific Institution, which was crammed to an
overflow. As the plan that these gentlemen pro-
pose to adopt is simple, concise, and pertinent,
we hope it will meet with due encouragement.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWALVII O'CLOCK.

The private letters from Alediah to the 3d of December
state that the Bey of Titteri surrendered at discretion, with
hi. son, and the General received them in a very affable
manner in his chamber, surrounded by his Etat Major.
The Bev repeatedly asked pardon of the Commander-in.
Chief, which he granted, and at the same time gave permis-
sion to the Bey to send for his wives. They are all of them
to proceed to Algiers, and it is expected they are to be sent
to Marseilles.

It appears by the accounts from Brussels that Mr.
Cartwright, who was said to have proceeded to Frankfort,
has again left that city on the 11th, for the Hague, and
it is hoped he will be more successful than on his former
mission to the King of Holland.
