LONDON, -
THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 26, 1830

—We
are assured, upon authority that cannot
deceive us, that Sir GILBERT BLANE has with-
atawn his name from the list of his MAJESTY'S
medical officers. The public will probably be
!eft to conjecture the motives of this step ;—but
, what has already transpired, there can be
1141 e difficulty in assigning the true reason. If
report speak true, however, the degradation this
aged awl respected physician has suffered from
the office he held under his late MAJESTY, and
that he held in the household of his present
MAJEsTY, when Duke of CLARENCE, is not the
m:b
Onl Ali
y so of his retirement,—had the place
04 een assigned him by his MAJESTY, he
, is all probability silently have acquiesced
In 4114 decision. It is currently reported and
"shoved that his MAJESTY, anxious to spew
his regard for a great branch of the public ser-
vice, in which Sir GILBERT has so long been
distinguished, directed his name to be placed at
the head of the medical part of the household.
How then
.came it to occupy any other station ?
Perhaps those who benefitted by the change can
give the explanation. We shall return to this
subject.

It is amusing to tee the way in which the Ex-
Icing 'of PRANCE and his Ministers talk of the
late ordinances. By their different conversations
.Pkthe subject, reports of which have been scat.
tered.through the French and English Journals
for the last ten days 'or a fortnight, it seems that
the:whole fraternity are as innocent as lambs of
AS obnoxious ordinances in question. CHARLES
~the Tenth vows and protests that he bud no
la; d in the business ; Prince POLIGNAC asserts
'that it was absolutely forced upon him ; the
41chesses D'ANGOULEME and DE BERRI,
both
iß,.equally decided terms, declare that they
ere averse to the promulgation of the decrees
from the first moment to the last. Not a soul,
• In short, neither KING nor Ministers, are guilty
.having suggested the ordinances. They
must, therefore, have suggested themselves.
HOW absurdly puerile is this evasion on the
Part of men who presumed to wield the des-
tinies of one of the noblest nations on earth !
now like the conduct of school-boys who, when
!ailed up to answer for some peccadillo that has
been.committed anonymously, are sure, one and
slls to reply.that they are innocent. The letter
PtiticaoidoNAc, in particular, is one of
the
most eljihtish, inconsistent productions ever
published., It Would disgrace a fourth-form boy
: Aot a declaration in it but is refuted by
'lnt a sentence but breathes the rankest
'''"v,t(lice.--the most besotted imbecility. . And
yetivl this is the man whose notorious mismanage-
: __tilt has caused the massacre of thousands of his
wt!ittnt-countr men I Most.earnestly do we hope
that
Punishment will be awarded to him strictly

f7PdePt as it is unwarranted by justice, for had
7le• l'oLicalAc Ministry triumphed, there is
little'doubt that the scaffold would have reeked
With the blood of 'the bravest and the most
pstrietic Frenchmen.

At a very late hour this afternoon we received
by'expresS the Gazette de France dated yester-
day, and Paris letters of Tuesday evening.
The French Funds have experienced a still

further decline, as will be seen by the following

The Lisbon Gazette, of the 9th of August,
gives from the Moniteur, of 26th July, the
Report of the French Minister to CHARLES K.,
and the three ordinances abolishing the Liberty
of the Press, dissolving the Chamber of Depu-
ties, and changing the mode of Election, at full
length, and without any comment.
Thefive captured vessels, which arrived in 19
days from the island of St. Michael, are the

following :
The English brigantine Amelia, with two passengers,
vis., the Captain of the brigantine, and a servant.

The English brigantine Margaret, with six passengers,
viz., the Captain, four of Ilia crew, and Joso Pedro de
Miranda, a merchant of Hamburg, who acted as supercargo
of the vmel when it was taken.

The English schooner St. lidena, with nine passen-
gers, viz., the captain and eight of the crew and passen-
gers, that were on board the schooner when it was taken.

The English brigantine Velocity, three passengers, viz.,
a Lieutenant of the Army, the Captain of the brigantine,
and a servant.

The American schooner Ann, with two passengers and
a servant.

The Santa Antonio Feliz, a Portuguese
yacht, arrived on the 11th August from Oporto,
at the tower of St. Julian, with twenty-four con-
demned prisoners, who have been lodged in the
casemates of that tower.

The Lisbon Gazettes, to 12th August inclu-
sive, contain nothing but extracts from French
and English Journals.

The following are extracts from German
Papers received this morning :

CORFU, Ana. s.—The Grand Vizier has arrived at
Monastia, on the frontiers of Albania, with 10,000 regu-
lar troops. He has detached the Pacha of Scutati from
the league to which he had acceded, merely from his re-
gard for Selictar Poda, a brave and able chief. The Grand
Vizier has married his second son to the daughter of the
Pacha of Scutari. The Albanian Captains, alarmed by
the loss of so powerful an ally, who has now joined their
adversary, have submitted, and are proceeding to the
places assigned them by the Grand Vizier: Those, there-
fore, who were lately in a state of insurrection new de-
clare for peace and obedience. But for the submis-
sion of the Pacha of Scutari and Selictar Poda,
Albania would have been lost to the Porte. The
celebrated Nikitus was killed by a musket shot in
endeavouring,to quell the riots which had broken out
among the Mainots on account of the taxes,
The President of Greece has intimated to General
Church to quit the territory of the new state.
Commercial letters from Alexandria announce the death
of the Viceroy of Egypt.
BERLIN, Ana. 12.—The account I gave on the Bth,
respecting the reviews in the Rhenish provinces, requires
soma correction, as they will take place as usual, but that
first not the. King, but Prince William, his Majesty's son,
will be ;present it them ; and eteondly, Abet :the pr-
risons of the frontier fortresses will take no part
in them. This seems to he the best mode of pro-
ceeding in the present state of France. If we had
a really official, journal, it would doubtless have already
contradicted what the French journals have invented re-
specting Prussian military preparations and alliances. It
is affirmed on good authority, that official declarations
have been received here from London, stating that Eng-
land will not interfere in the internal affairs of France,
unless the French should think of passing their own fron-
tier:, : this is, doubtless, the principle on which our Go-
verntnent will also net. Our State. Gazette continues to
give the news from Paris with extreme rapidity. This haste
is commendable, and indeed necessary, as it obviates the ef-
fects of any false news spread on 'Change, which might pre-
judice the merchants, and even private individuals. I intend,
as soon as the horizon shall be a little more clear, to givean
account of the great impression the late unexpected revo-
lution in the midst of tranquillity and peace has made
here. Our Exchange is still greatly agitated, and our
foreign Funds fluent ite considerably. Letters from Paris
brought yesterday news from Spain, which caused
Spanish Stock (Agisados) to fall to 50.
VIENNA, Auo. 14.—Metalliques, 99; Four per Cents.
931. ; Bank Shares, 12 99.
HAMBURG, Aua. 15.—The revolutionary mania seems
to have spread even to this city, at least it manifests itself
in various ways in the coffee-houses on the JungfOirsteig
(Ladies'-walk), for instance, by the eternal repetition of
the long-forgotten " Mursellois Hymn," which (and not
always at the desire of French merchants' clerks) must be
played from morning till night. The lilies on the sign of
a French hair-dresser have been painted over, and the
three colours are seen here and there in places and on per-
sons where one would not look for them.
The Cassel Gazette of the 15th says, that the Elector
had so far recovered of the effects of the two apoplectic fits
which lie had at Carlsbad, that there was reason to expect
his speedy recovery. The Electoral Prince passed through
Normandy on the 17th, on his way to Bohemia.
Alla. 18.—Exchange on London, 149 i.
CHAMBER', AUG. M.—Last Sunday their Majesties
our august Sovereigns, honoured the theatre of this city
with their presence, and were received with the most joy-
ful acclamations. Yesterday their Majesties having re-
ceived the compliments of the military and civil officers,
&e. set out for Turin, where they arrived on Saturday
evening.

OPINION OF POPULAR APPLAUSE.—I'he
street in which BONAPARTE'S small residence, No. stood,
was named Chantereine; but during the night of the 10th
--11th December, received the appellation of- " Vic-
tory," in consequence of a public decree. This and
other incense offered to his name, the acclamations
which every where followed his appearance, altered not
his estimate of the position which he knew himself to
occupy in publics opinion. He used to say to me, "In
Paris they soon forget every thing. If I remain long
here idle, I am- lost. One reputation in
,this great
Babylon eclipses another. People will not have seen use
above' thrice at the theatre, when I-shall be no longer an
object of regard : therefore I shall appear but seldom,"—.
When he did go, it Was to a private box. '" Nevertheless,"
observed I, "it must be agreeable thus to be followed by
the admiration of- one's fellow.citlzens." " halt! the
same crowd would run after me, with the same eager-
ness, were I marching to the gillows."—Constabie's
Miscellany, Vol. ,LVII., •

RIENDSHIP.--One of BONA PA RTE'S
greatest misfortunes consisted in his not believing in
friendship, and in not feeling the necessity of laving,—..
the sweetest aspiration of which the human heart is
susceptible. How often has he excleined in my hear-
ing, " Friendship is but a word : I love no one We;
not even my brothers : JOSEIII, perhaps, a little ; still,
if I do love him, it is from habit, because he is
the eldest of us.—Duaoc ! Yes; him 1 certainly
love. But why? Itscharacter suits me. Be is cold,
severe, unfeeling ; and then, Ounoc. never weeps !" As
to me, it is all one; I well know that I have no true
friends. While I remain whet I am, I can make as many
of them as I like in appearance. Look ye, BOURRIENia,
we must leave tender-heartedness to the women—that is
'their affair;
.but no sensibility, for me! It is necessary to
he firni—to have the heart of adamant; otherwise let no
one, meddle with war, or politics !"....Coxstablis Mind-
',any; vol. LVII.
