JASgr, Drs. 15.—There is probably no country that
has eNperienced in a short time such salutary changes as
this principality
since the establishment of the new Go-
vernriient. ,It may !).-3 affirmed that the Hospodar 'fully
understands his - t - task has • completely justified
the confidence placed in him 13-Y,,the powers, and by all
It ell disposed persons, to effect the happy regeneration of a
people who have been neglected for many years, and have
suffered various misfortunes. He not only conscientiously
observes all the duties-imposed upon him by the .organ:\c
statute, but endeavours to .introduce all the improvement s
that are generally needed.; Impressed by the truth that edu-•
cation is the first necessary foundation, he has taken great
pains to introduce resolutions to promote the diffusion of
scientific knowledge, and the moral and religious improve-
ment of all classes. This indefatigable activity has suc-
ceeded in checking the excesses that were committed al-
most with impunity by
.regularly organized bands of robbers
that. infested the principality, spread terror everywhere, and
were a real scourge to the country. Security is 'every-
where restored, and several houses of correction ' and
asylums have been provided, in order to afford the
evil doers a means of repairing their wrongs to soc iety.
Every thing possible is done for the distressed, and neat is of
employment are afforded to all which they need but to: em-

.
ploy, to secure themselves from want. In fact, the pvLo„
nc
prosperity is greater than it ever was before,whichis c.hioflY
to be ascribed-to the effects of the superior administra ti on
though the protecting hand of Providence, has been es v•,2-
cially Inanifested in'the blessings of a most productive h,
qr-
vest. Is it not, then, to be lamented, that amidst sm. 41

happy-improvement, which everybody who has the good o
the country at heart ought to promote, base passions and
interests should interpose, to impede the good intentions of
the GoVermont, and of the powers that g:ve their protec-
tion to the principality. Unhappily all kinds of intrigues
have lately taken place ; and notwithstanding the above-
mentioned efforts of the Government to promote the public
good,- the authors of these 'intrigues, thought themselves
called on, under the appearance of patriotism,. to step' for-
ward as the defenders of the rights of the people, thoiugh
they ~were in no manner impugned, and the pretended
patriotism of these unauthorised
,and' 'selfish advo-
cates of the law had
,never been manifested. other-
wise • than in the violation of every well4ounded right.
Embittered by the conviction that their present influence in
the affairs of the State would in future fall away, and that
• the power of the laws would alone prevail—offended by
their exclusion from high public offices, which they sough t
to obtain, but which public opinion forbade to entrust to
them,, they had recourse to their old intrigues, and asso -
ciated themselves with reprobate and ill-famed men, in
Order to act with them against the Government. They
began by disseminating-false reports, propagating one lie
after another, calumniating in every way the intentions of
the Government : nay, they even ventured to support their
allegations- by signing a paper addressed to the Russian
Consul-General, the natural result of which was that serious
measures were taken to put a 'stop to these intrigues.
When, this lamentable state of things came to the knowledge
of the Porte, it hastened to issue a firman from the
Sultan, in which what had passed was severely cen-
sured, and the prerogative of. the Prince dwelt upon,
which gives him alone a right to enforce obedience to
the laws, .and to remedy all abuses and grounds of cdm-
plaint, as he has hitherto-done, to.the best of his knowledge
and judgment, at the same time, the Prince was called ou
to act with energy against the instigators of disorder. For-
this purpose he called together the superior Clergy and No.--
laity, who met on the ‘24th of November, in the Palace.
After the Sultan's firman had been read, the Prince made a
speech' viith the dignity peculiar to him, and. forbade all
illegal meetings at the game time, making the Director of
the
.Police answerable. But neitherthelirman nor the pa-
ternal exhortations of the Prince, could bring the deluded.
men back to their duty ; they assembled the same evening,.
to pursue their guilty projects, and insulted the Director of
the Police, who, in. obedience to the Prince's' cofnmand,
came to close the meeting. Such contempt of the laws
could no longer be tolerated, and, in order to dastroy the
focus of the intrigue, the Logothet Count 'Stourdza,
the VeStrarius Alexander Stourdza, and the Vornick
Geord.. Ohika were ordered to repair to their own.
estates in the country. A great uum:ber of those
who took part in these illegal coteries, have already applied
to the Prince for pardon, and the representative of Russia
having decidedly disapproved of their conduct, the authors
of these intrigues arc conscience-struck, and bitterlirepent-
having risked the national honour by odious attacks OTA a
Government whose constant' endeavours are directed to
promote the public welfare, and enforce ,obcdience tia the
laws.—.Prankfort Papers, Jan. 5.
BRUSSELS, JAN. 7.—We are informed that M. I:Anti-lieu,
mechanist, has deposited at the department orthe Interior
the model of a new steam-engine of his invention, which,
as a locomotive power, surpasses everything hith6rto known.
The minimum of its velocity is stated to. be 6Q leagues in
an hour, and it could perform the journey from Brussels
to Paris in the same time, on an iron railroad prepared for
it, without any other guide or impulsion than .the stock of
fuel and water which it had at its departure.

LORD MELOOLJRNE-LICENSED

VICTUALLER'S SCHOOL.

(From the Morning Advertiser.)
The grand ceremony which, is appointed to take place on
the 21st instant—we mean that of laying the foundation
stone of a new school for the maintenance, clothing, and
education of the children of deCayed, distressed, or deceased
Members of the Friendly Society of Licensed Victv.allers,
by Lord Melbourne—is likely, in addition to the noneur-
able and noble company which will grace it on tlrat day, to
be greatly enhanced by a splendid assemblage, of the Li-
beral inhabitants of the borough of Larr.oeth 'td con-
gratulate his Lordship upon his first elppearance, in a
public capacity, within its precincts--to thank him for-
his past achievements and .end',!ave,urs in the cause of
Reform, and to express the .4n6.l.y.ited confidence in him-
self and his colleagues ":;hieh they entertain that they
will continue to promote, the cause of Reform, where Re-
form is needed, and to, eradicate the numberless abuses and
grievances which a long series of Tory misrule has entailed.
upon the country.

. .
Such a course of proceeding, we need, scarcely say,
neither forms part, or has any connection, d;,reet or indirect,
with the great object which the License %d Victuallers; have
in view ;` but it cannot but be as satisfactory to tLem, on
the one hand, that the first occasi';n on which Lord Mel-
bourne is about to make a publ;,6 appearance in Lambeth,
is likely to be accompanied "by a splendid and unsolicited
tribute of sympath(Jiic fer.;iing, and, on the other, most gra-
tifying to Lord ldelVatirne to find that his Administration
has given sat'.,:faetion in one of the largest boroughs of the
tnetropol'...,, as well as the most liberal ; and that wherever
he a''ipears ho is greeted with that honest, honourable, and
n'Aightful sympathy, which, whatever the Tories may plan
or devise, assures him of the unvaried and successful sup-
port of the country.
Let us also add that it is highly honourable to the bo-
rough of Lambeth to adopt such a proceeding, and espe-
cially at the present moment, when the Tories are exerting
themselves to the utmost,. not only without, but, within, the
camp, to expel Lord Melbourne and his Cabinet from
office, and to take into their own bands the reins of power,
and govern, as they have always governed—by patronage
dishonestly used,. and milito:q power supported by the
e
country, and employed for the obstruction and suppression
of the people's rights. •-w are right glad, in fact, that
they'are about to tah the lead—let all others follow their
example, ap.d the ~ iii_omenecl birds of night" win flee in
they hoped to.-seize
terror ailti dismay from the prey whichb
and to make their own. .

The annual income of the Marquis of Westminster,
upon a moderate calculation, it is said, amounts to I,OOPL
sterling per day at present. Whenever the leases in &I-
-n-rave-square, AVilton-erosc.-ent, and the vast number of man-
stens recently built in thrd streets and squares in that quarter
of London expire, his .Lordship's .1 dl•'s re venue will be more than
a
doubled.
