be any intention of removing a tried servant.—.
Gratitude wilt at last have its representatives."
This is an ebullition of mere personal feeling, for
Louis XVIII. could not do more than he has
done in favour of the emigrants, whatever the
consolidation of the Monarchy may enable his
successor to do, without endangering its very ex.
istence. Neither can the removal of Mr. de
Chateaubriand (the " tried servant," we sup.
pose), from his Councils, be considered an act
of ingratitude ; for the Minister who opposes
the line of policy espoused by his Sovereign and
the majority of his colleagues cannot expect to,
remain entrusted ►cith the execution of the Royal
will.

In the German Papers received yesterday, the
charge is repeated on which we made some ob-
servations a few days ago, viz. that assistance is
rendered by the English agents in the Levant for
the subjugation of the Greeks. In this instance

t is roundly asserted, that there are 44 English
seamen in the Captain Paella's fleet; obtained
through the intervention of Lord Strangford."—
This calumny so outrageously absurd, that it
hardly deserves any kind of notice ; nor should
we, after what we have recently done, have be.
stowed a word upon kin refutation of the charge,
but that 'we have seen with regret that an
Evening Paper is disposed to countenance these
slanders, by calling for a 46. more distinct reftna-
tion " of them. We would rather wait till the
charges are more regularly preferred. When we
hear the Greeks themselves raising a complaint
against the unfairness of our Government, or the
unfriendliness, of our countrymen, it may be
time to give a clear and distinct refutation
to'charges clearly and distinctly preferred ; but
while we have no authority but French letters
and German. 3,ournals, it is enough to return a
broad and general denial to the loose and sweep-
ing accusations made against us. There can be
no doubt, we apprehend, that his Majesty's Mi.
nisters are determined to act upon the principles
of a strict neutrality between the parties in this
struggle. The Greeks know well, that any re.
presentation as to the misconduct of the diplo-
matic agents of England would meet with imme-
diate attention, and as they have every facility
for communication with this country, and are
aided by a Committee of great talent and re-
spectability, who at the same time are certainly
not liable to the suspicion of being desirous
to smother any reasonable matter of complaint
against the Government, we conclude that the
silence of the Greeks goes further in our favour
than the charges of all the Frenchmen or Germans
that ever existed. It may be, however sorry we
should be to learn the fact, that some English
seamen have entered into the Turkish service.—
Among the virtues of English seamen, it is not
usual to include much depth of reflection, or
careful consideration of the nature of the under..
takings in which they embark; anti some may
therefore have been picked up by the artful
agents of the Turks in the ports of the Mediter-
ranean. If any are in this situation, we have no
doubt, however they may dislike their duty, they
will, with characteristic honour and courage, dis-
charge it ; but, even in that case, no ground will
be laid for a general attack upon the British pen.
pie ; nor is any journal warranted in saying that
the conduct of these men is " a stain upon the
British Government."

[MORNING "JERALD.
There is in on Evening Paper (The Courier). of
last night, a long and somewhat curious descant
upon the foreign poliey of this country, since the
accession of Mr. Canning to the Ministry. It is,
in fact, a sort of umende honorable to'the Right
Hon. Gentleman for something of shyness shown'
towards him on his acceptance of Office, and for a.
lingering attachment either to lu deceased pre-
decessor-.;..-or thoie of his survivors in the. Cabinet
,Who inherited his policy and his personal:feel-ings. .
The.deceused Minister is now sacrificed to
the
,livingand even certain • persons of no
mean name, station, or jufluencer who suspected
Mr. Canning of Liberalisth, and wished:a diner
intimacy with the , Holy Alliance, are thrown
overboard. --,.Through a thick envelope of
flattery and ambiguity'' there are discernible
in this .article some glimpses of right Bri-
tish policy and of jug observation. It com-
mences, however"' with a panegyric upon Mr.
Canning's disinterestedness in accepting office,
which might have been spared. He could, it is
true have gone out to India. But is it matter

for panegyric that he was not so destitute of
public Spirit or legitinnite ambition—so sordid or
so vain—as to prefer ,mere revenue and the gor-
geous pageantry of Asia, to the eminence which
hi has attained at home iR the State, the nation,
and in history ? The patinode comes next.—
Fears, it seems, were entertained, that the public
service would have suffered by the suhtraction
of Lord Londonderry; WhQ, gi by having mingled
largely in the great transactions of the, pre-
ceding eight or nine years, and by having
personally assisted at conferences with the
Monarchs and 'their Ministers, had necessa-
rily acquired With FurA,ign Powers great personal
influence and consideration. But, on the other
hand, it was hardly in the nature of
rthings flint
those perional conferences should have left him ;
4s perfectly' unshackled as if he had discharged
the functions of his office through the ordinary ,
diplorriatio channels. .11is successor had none of
these advantages; but, on the Other hand,he was 1
free and unfettered. Therecould be no implied
assents ; no assumed :agreements; no tacit in.
ferences, to embarrass the decision upon any
question that might come before Mr. Can.
ning. Whatever course might be, decreed,
was susceptible of unobstructed execution."--
Possibly such fears were entertained—but by
whom, and to what extent, is 'another ques-
tion. The real truth is, that Eord London-

derry,' by his personal intercourse with the Fo-
reign Monarchs and Ministers, was disqualified—
absolutely spoiled and adulterated, for a British
Minister, independently even of the assents, in-
ferences, and embarrassments, which the Courier
acknowledgeswith tolerable fairness. No Dri.

tish, Cabinet, Minister, and least of all, Lord
Londonderry should ha've been sent into this
circle of Monarchs.. and Ministers. Ho could'

hardly avoid committing himself. He must have
been borne away by the current, even from a
sort of
,false shame. He finds himself in the
midst.of Ministers, possessing and exercising un-
bounded discretion and power, without the fear of
a Parliament or a people before their eyes. An
English Secretary of State in such society feels
mortified at his limited powers, and will commit
himself rather than avow the full extent of his
restrictions and his fears. There is, besides,
the danger of being drawn in, by constant
intercourse
.and communion, within the whirl.
pool of arbitrary principles. Who can doubt
that Lord Londonderry suffered both influ-
ences ? Even his advocates allow that he com-
promised himself and his Government by indis-
creet engagements, expressed or implied—and as
to his being tainted with the doctrines and no-
tions of the continental Monarchs and Ministers,
he gave but too many proofs of it even from his
own lips. He could hardly conceal here, what
he openly avowed abroad, that there was some-
thing exceeding vulgar and bourgeois in British
liberty. His mind and his vocabulary—the one,
by the bye, an image of the other—both weak,
vacillating, and incorrect, were alike infected,
even to a silly affectation, with, if it may be so
called, continentalism. This affectation, too, was
equally absurd and pernicious. It is well known,
that from his imperfect use of the French lan-
guage in conversation—his ignorance of the ordi-
nary topics of discourse—the literature, the arts,
and the Court gossip of Europe, he was
little better than a baby in the circles in
which he moved—the very reason, perhaps,
why his affectation was so flagrant and exagge-
rated. Had a mere diplomatic representative
been sent out for this purpose, his, perils and
temptations would have been much less. It is
to be hoped no Cabinet Minister will be sent
again on such an errand into such a school of
perversion. The probability, indeed, is, that
such another occasion will not occur; as the situ-
ation of the contracting parties was at the time
really unique. Whether Mr. Canning, had he
gone out, would have returned with his principles
and his vocabulary in a state of derangement, it
is useless to speculate. But it is certainly an
advantage to the nation and himself that he was
not exposed to the danger.

Some most important Parliamentary Papers
respecting Ireland hav4. just been distributed.—
One of these is a Report of the Committee ap-
pointed to consider the beet mode of apportion-
ing more equally the local burdens collected in

that country, and to provide for a general sur-
vey and valuation, with the Minutes of Evidence,
and a valuable Return of the Baronies, Parishes,
and Town-lands, with the extent of the latter
in acres, of the different Counties. But a still

unis coejectural estimate is fully borne out by

51,880 Irish acres of arable land and 11,390
acres of mountain and bog. Derry contains
41,804 acres cultivated, and .63,032 acres uncul;.
tivated. Clogher has returned 9.1,320 acres cul-
tivated, and 5,747 acres uncultivated ; but some
of the tenants have omitted to make returns from
inability, and we are left in the dark as to the
proportion their possessions bear to the whole.—
Meath has 11,880 acres, arable and :pasture,
and 6,494 mountain .and bog ; Dublin, 15,049
arable and pasture ; Elphiu, 22,776 arable and

8,543, the whole including mountain, bogs, &c.
49,2812 acres. Wakefield estimated it at, 8,600

it be borne in mind, that the most of these
see lands are among the most productive. in
Ireland, and the wonder c not be lila

also taken for leases current during the future

appearance they make. compared with the rest of
the country.
