LONDON :
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1839.

Government have received to-day full details
from Newport and the districts in the neighbour-
hood, if which the following is the substance.
Since the severe loss and check sustained by the
rioters on Monday morning it does not appear
there has been any further violence or breach of
the peace, and the deluded men are believed
to be entirely dispersed.

, The Magistrates are busily occupied in taking
measures of precaution, but the danger is believed
to be at an end. FROST, and a great number
of other persons, have been arrested. In the
neighbourhood of Brecon, the furnaces had
been blown out, as in other parts of the district, in
the course of Monday, and the workmen had come
into the town, but up to the hoer of the postleaving
it yesterday, there had been no attempt at violence.
A part of the depot companies of the 12th
Regiment, are stationel in the town, and a
large body of special constables have been
sworn in. No apprehensions are, therefore,
entertained of a breach of the peace. The force
which has been ordered to the districts of Newport
and Monmouth, consisting of eight companies of
the 45th Regiment, and two field pieces, are pro-
ceeding by forced marches. Their presence will

be fully sufficient to restore again a feeling o
security, and will effectually provide for the tran.
quillity of the country.

We have just seen a letter, written from Newport
Yesterday, by an eye-witness, a gentleman of that
a lace, who was engaged in repelling the attack of

L.c Chartists. It states that twenty-five persons
were killed, and more than one hundred wounded ;
and that they hate made forty prisoners.

It is one rather satisfactory feature in the New-
port riut that no person on the side of the insur-
,gents has been injured except those who actually
trade the attack. We understand that those who

fell were at the moment rushing on the soldiers, at
whom they had fired without doing any injury, up
;:lie hall or passage of the inn, and were all shot by
i one volley as they were advancing. The movement
i .;8 said to have been most extensively combined, and
ia. nuch greater force was expected to join in the
o aerations. On Sunday night, however, the weather
w ,as remarkably had, which prevented the whole
hod,.- from assembling, and made the attack much
less serious and more insane in appearance than
jr. FitosT and his friends intended.

the same breath, that they entertain these senti-
ments, but they know them to be wrong. It can-
not be difficult to refute and overcome such
cowardly hypocrites.

We beg the attention of our readers to tile pro-
ceedings of the Common Council, and particularly
to the speeches of Mr. STEVENS and Mr. NORRIS
in relation to building new churches. The ob-
servations of those gentlemen make it unnecessary
for us now to enlarge on the subject, but we cannot
fail to express our reprobation of the Common
Council voting the money which they obtain from
taxing the coals of the poor to such a scandalous
purpose as that of increasing the patronage of the

The Augsburg Gazette publishes a letter from
the frontiers of Russia, dated the 23d of October,
contradicting the report of anv conspiracy having
broken out in the corps of the Russian army com-
ruandediby Genera! GEISMAR. The writer sup-
poses the report to have reference to an affair of an
older date—the discovery of certain abuses in the
garrison of Wilna, which procured for the Governor
of the city, his Lieutenant, and some dozen or
more officers, the honour of a removal to Siberia.
We attach very little credit to Russian denials of
such statements as the abore, and none whatever to
the one which we are now noticing.

Madrid Papers of the 28th ult. have reached us.
The debate in the Deputies was still proceeding
with much animation. The capital was tranquil,
and the Funds firm at 322 for cash. No later in-
telligence had arrived from the head-quarters of
ESPARTERO.

Nothing can exceed the dulness of the French
ournals of Monday, the whole of which we have
duly received. They bring no news either from
the East or the South of the slightest moment, and
the soporific tedium of their columns is even unre-
lieved by an attack on either King, Cabinet, or
Opposition. One article only claims an exception
from this wholesale description of the contents of
the journals of Monday. It is an official defence
of the Ministry, published by the Moniteur in
reply to the repeated attacks of the Opposition
journals. No one can read it over carefully
without being satisfied that the principal allegation
of the opposition press was well founded—namely,
that great differences of opinion existed between
the KING and his Ministers, and that the Council
table presented some curious scenes betokening any-
thing but an excess of harmony. It is quite clear
that SOULT thinks Louis PHILIPPE a great deal
too clever, and that his MAJESTY'S management
is a task which gives trouble enough to himself and
his colleagues. Here is the Ministerial manifesto,
which we are not surprised to learn has created a
great sensation in the French capital :
" A morning journal (the Debais), undertaking to
defend Ministers against opposition, congratulates the
members of the Cabinet on having abandoned, since
their entrance into the Ministry, the opinions which
they previously held. We will not stay to inquire into
the true nature of these compliments addressed to Mi-
nisters on what is called their conversion. We prefer
thinking that the journal in question had no secret mo-
tive, and that, led by experience to defend the Ministry,
it merely endeavoured to find in it those principles
regarded by the writer as the essential conditions of
Government. This is a mistake which we cannot let
pass without correction. When the Opposition prints
are blamed for merely repeating the same common-
place objection to all Ministers, the prints uttering the
censure ought to avoid repeating the same com-
mon-place arguments year after year in favour
of all Governments. The persisting in placing Govern-
ment and Opposition still on the same old ground is
hurtful, and calculated to perpetuate old dissensions.
The present Ministry cannot suffer itself to be called
the simple continuation of the last Ministry, either by
the partisans or the opponents of Count Mole's Cabinet.
In domestic affairs the struggles of six months back
sufficiently manifest on altogether altered situation. In
foreign affairs, the rank and regard held by France in
Spain show, also, something to have been changed ; and
when the Eastern question is cleared up, it will be seen
whether Ministers have been less jealous of national dig-
nity in power than out of power. With respect to the
delicate question of the relations between Ministers and
royalty, no Ministers have more fully recognised, than the
present ones, the superiority of intelligence and experience.
But the more remarkable these qualities are, the more
do Ministers believe it necessary that the counsellors
of the Crown should show themselves jealous of con-
stitutional responsibility. The present Ministry rests
invariably attached to this great principle, which is that
of its existence. In the midst of the Parliamentary
struggle, the members of the present Cabinet never
ceased to be profoundly respectful towards Royalty, and
they cannot but censure those who now mix up the
King's name in public disputes. Whatever may hap-
pen, and whatever contests it may have to engage in,
the present Cabinet will never invoke the King's name
in its defence. Such are the Ministers, the same as
they have been. Some of them refused to take office
as long as their conviction was not in harmony with the
march of power. What they condemned in others they
cannot accept for themselves. The writers who sup-
port them, as well as those who oppose them, must
consider them in this light, for it is the only true one."
The KING is about to create a new batch of
Peers. Nineteen names are inscribed on the Royal
list. Many of the persons about to be elevated to
,the Peerage are very obnoxious to Marshal SOULT
and his friends, but the KING has overruled every
objection in a question which so nearly concerns
the Royal prerogative. The Commerce, a few
days ago, made a furious attack on the Ministry
for allowing M. PERSIL to be included in the new
Peerage List, and we do so far agree with that
journal as to admit that the King of the FRENCH
cannot offer a greater indignity to the Soult Cabi•
net than to make it in any way instrumental it
raising this political recreant, and unprincipled too
of arbitrary power, to the dignity of a Peer o
