HAMBURGH, Nov. 15, 1836.
OUR Friends, and all those who may have to write
to us, are requested to he particular in directing,
HEINE BROTHERS, in lIA3IBURGII,
and to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage
only, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus
10/., 201., or 30/., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng-
land Note would only cause double Postage, but 10/. remitted in
two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there-
fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham-
burgh, to forward the amount in One Note; or having to receive
Money from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when-
ever possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England,
surpassing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may
rather be made in Bills of Exchange, on London.
To save expenses that may as well be avoided, we request our
Correspondents not to overlook these particulars.
HEINE BROTHERS.

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 13, 1836

Sir ROBERT PEEL, it seems, has declined the
Edinburgh invitation to dinner. " The deputation,"
says a local Journal, " .%vhich left Edinburgh on Friday

evening, to convey to the Right Hon. Baronet the in.
vitation to a public dinner here, returned to town yes.
terday afternoon from Drayton-manor. We learn that
Sr ROBERT, although he felt most deeply the coin

pliment that had been paid him by forwarding a re-
quisition from the metropolis of Scotland so nume-
rously and respectably signed, yet was under the ne-
cessity of declining the honour intended him, having
also declined other invitations, on account of the as-
sembling of Parliament so soon after the public dinner
at Glasgow, and the little time afforded him in that
short interval for other arrangements." This is no
more than we had anticipated. The Right Hon,
Baronet is a discreet, wily statesman, and has no
idea of putting himself ostentatiously forward as the
leader of the Incurable Tories. He prefers rather to
bold a neutral position between Reformer and anti-
reformer ; to be amphibious in his politics, so
that—as circumstances arc favourable or otherwise—he
may be claimed by either party. To dine at Glasgow
is, he well knows, merely to show his gratitude for a
great public compliment that has been paid him ; but
to dine at Edinburgh, with the rank Ultras of that
metropolis, would be at once to commit himself—for
on what other principle should they invite him ?—as
one of the heads of that incorrigible faction. Now
such a decisive step would not, at present, suit the
views of a waiter on the chapter of Accidents, wle
has, besides, an example in Lord LYNDHURST of the
danger of premature boldness ; so Sir ROBERT de-
clares off, leaving the Edinburgh deputation the com-
fort of knowing that they have put themselves to the
expense of a journey to Drayton-manor for. nothing.
However, as virtue is its own reward, we have no
doubt these hyperborean patriots will disburse with
alacrity. We have always looked on Sir ROBERT
PEEL as the most dexterous of small politicians. His
powers of evasion are prodigious ; and he see-saws be-
tween Whig and Tory—Reformer and non-Reformer—
with such unrivalled skill, that it is next to impossible
to say to which party he belongs. So long as the
Ultras had it all their own way, he was a stiff Ultra ;
when something like liberality crept into the cabinet,
he too relaxed a little in his creed ; now that open
Reform is the order of the day, behold, he, after a
fashion, is a Reformer ! Wherefore these variations
in the political temperature of his mind ? Because
he wants fixedness and strength of principle. He is
guided to his conclusions by expediency ; and has but
one object in view—the furtherance of his own personal
ambition. This, we confidently assert, is the secret of
his present conduct. Just now, he cannot see his way
clearly ; -the Tories may, or may not, regain power ;
and while matters are in such a doubtful state, he

deems it his safest plan to hold a mean course between
Liberal and Conservative, throwing the handkerchief
to neither, but coquetting with alternately
both. He
is Janus-faced and double-tongued ; and were the
party under whose banners he first enlisted once to be
put down, with no chance of their ever rising again,
we will venture to say that he would be among the
them the parting kick, and pro-
readiest to give
claim himself as staunch a Liberal as even Mr.
O'CONNELL could desire. Before we dismiss the
subject of Sir ROBERT PEEL and the Edinburgh
no-dinner, we will just beg leave to ask how it is that
Lord LYNDHURST, the very coryphams of the
Tory faction, has not yet received an invitation " to
eat, drink and be merry," from any one city, town, or
village in his MAJESTY'S dominions ? Surely, if the
re-action in favour of Conservatism is so great as we
have been assured, Lord LYNDHURST ShOUld be called
upon to rejoice in, and give additional eclat to, the
fact ! The Ultras themselves acknowledge him as
their Leader ; how comes it then that not one of the
squad proposes to treat him to a dinner ? Is this
grateful ? Has Edinburgh no sense of gratitude ?
For shame, Glasgow : if PEEL deserves to have a
" tent" erected for him to dine in, LYNDIIIJBST
merits a palace ; and we call upon you accordingly to
build one in his honour !

Since the return of Lord DUNCANNON to town
measures have been taken for the purpose of immedi-
ately transferring the Post-office Packet establishment
to the Board of Admiralty. We feel assured that the
1474.----ciovernment will see the propriety of carrying fully
to effect the recommendations of the sixth report of
2 Ictommissioners of Inquiry, by getting rid of these
Van tlishments entirely, and " provide for the future
7) rrmance of the service by contract, on every sta-
