suppressed exultation of gigantic deception." If
British Statesmen betray not the interests of the
British people, the day here described will never
dawn ; the thunders of victorious Russia will never
roll along the shores of Marmora ; and the shouts and
cries of Calmuc triumph will be never heard in the
Bosphorus. But the time to prevent this is now—this
very day, if possible ; and the way to prevent it is by
sending a British squadron, with full powers, to com-
mence hostilities, if Russia does not forthwith evacuate
Silistria, and every rood of territory procured since the
signing of the treaty of July, which was virtually a
swindling transaction, not morally, nor by the laws
of nations, binding on the PORTE. This is clearly
the doctrine Of PUFFENDORF, GROTIUS, and VAT-
TEL. The former of these writers says distinctly,
that " an oath is not of any force when 'tis evident
that the party who took it supposed some matter to be
otherwise than it really proves to be." Now, in the
single article of the debt for which Silistria, the finest
province in the heart of Turkey, is mortgaged to Rus-
sia, the agents of the EMPEROR led the Turkish Dra-
gomans to suppose that four hundred thousand pounds
was the same sum as four millions, and the treaty was
signed under that impression. And is England to
look quietly on, while Russia crowns her perfidy by
attempting the overthrow of the Ottoman Empire ?
No, no ; England wears a sword.

Dutch and German papers have been received. In some
of the former we find confident anticipations that the
Tory Government of England will bring about are-union
between Holland and Belgium. This hope has been
raised by the language of the Duke of WELLINGTON in
the House of Lords, where his Grace protested against
the establishment of Belgium as a separate sovereignty.
Whether the Duke has since then communicated with
the King of HOLLAND on the subject, we, of course,
do not know ; but this we do know—the people of
England will not support any system of foreign po-
licy which shall tend to excite a war in Belgium. The
German Papers contain no interesting intelligence.

'We have received the Paris Papers of Thursday.
The substance of them will be found in the extracts
which are given in another column.

The latest intelligence from Bayonne is dated the
Bth inst. The most important information then re-
ceived from the theatre of war was the death of Don
CARLos's cook. The Prince is reported to suffer
greatly from this unexpected shock. The loss cer-
tainly touches him vitally. We have not learned that
the rebel army is to go into mourning on this occasion,
but we should presume such will be the Prince's
pleasxre.

We are highly gratified to learn that Sir JAMES
GRA HAM, acting with the same regard to principle
and character as Lord STANLEY, has also declined
office with the Tory Administration.

MOVEMENTS FOR A GENERAL ELECTION.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, DEC. 11.—All parties are pre-
paring for the ensuing combat in this, and the adjoining county
of Durham. In Newcastle, it is confidently expected that
Mr. W. Ord, formerly the member for Morpeth, will displace
Mr. Hodgson, the corporation member at present ; an effort will
also be made by the Radicals, who state their determination to
bring forward a candidate, to remove Sir Matthew 'White
Ridley, but of this no sanguine hopes are entertained. The
Radicals, however, will support Mr. Ord.
. .

Mr. Rippon, the member for Gateshead, has announced his
intention of visiting his constituents to-morrow ; but at pre-
sent there is no opposition in the field against him. His re-
election is considered certain. For the northern division of
the county of Northumberland, the Hon. H. T. Liddell has
appeared as a candidate, doubtless, for the purpose of ousting
Lord Howick ; and in his address he states that his " poli-
tical principles are founded upon a very sincere, deliberate,
and deep-rooted attachment to those institutions under which
our country has so long flourished." Lord Ossulston, the
Tory colleague of Lord Howick, has also put forth an epistle
breathing the very essence of conservatism. For the Southern
Division no one has yet declared himself to oppose the sitting
members, though two are talked of.

STATE of PUBLIC FEELING in LANCASHIRE.

MANCHESTER, DEC. 11, 1834.—There have as yet been no
steps taken to disturb the present representation of the north-
ern division of the county, and it is therefore likely that Lord
Stanley and Mr. Wilson Patten, who are both liberal Con-
servatives, will be again returned. Lord Molineux and Mr.
George William Wood, who are both moderate Reformers—
the latter especially was a general supporter of the late Go-
vernment—are the present members for the southern division,
which includes Manchester, Liverpool, Bolton, Oldham, &c.
The Noble Lord, it is expected, will not contest the division
again ; and therefore the Conservatives have invited Sr'
Francis Egerton (late Lord Leveson Gower), who has re-
cently acquired a large accession of influence in the country
by his accession to the immense canal and other property of
the late Duke of Bridgwater, on the death of the Duke of
Sutherland. Lord Francis, who "goes the whole hog" with the
Tories, has accepted the offer, and has put out a confession of
faith, in which he professes all due regard for the Church.
MANCHESTER.—Both the present members, Messrs. Mark
Phillips and Poulett Thomson, who are thorough-going Re-
formers, are prepared to contest the borough again, and their
friends are sanguine of success. Mr. Poulett Thomson has
addressed a letter to his constituents, in the course of which
he alludes to the difficulties which the late Government had to
encounter ; and he is expected down here in about ten days or
a fortnight. The Conservatives have not been idle mean-
while. Finding that Mr. Hope (the defeated Tory candidate
at the late election) would not stand again, on the common
plea of indisposition—indisposition to be again defeated—
they have put out a requisition to Mr. Benjamin Braidley, a
gentleman of Tory principles. He is of the low or Evange-
lical Church party—rather, a Sir Andrew Agnewite.
SALFORD. —Mr. Brotherton, the present member, will walk
over this time. He is of the Durham, or Hume, class of
politicians ; and possesses much personal influence among the
electors, on account of his long exertions as a local reformer.
OLDHAM. —This is the strong-hold of Cobbettism ; and
Messrs. Cobbett and Fielden are certain of re-election..
ROCHDALE. —There will be a severe contest here between
the present Member, Mr. John Fenton, a Reformer, and Mr.
Entwisle, of Foxholes, a Conservative. The predominant
feeling is certainly in favour of the former.
ASHTON-UNDER- LYN E. —lt is doubtful whether Colonel
Williams, the present Member, will again stand for this bo-
rough. The Colonel is a stanch Reformer, but not much
enamoured of Parliamentary life. In the event of his retire-
ment, it is most likely that Mr. Charles Hindley, of Dukin-
field, the unsuccessful candidate at the late election, will be
again brought forward. He is a zealous Reformer. Mr.
Helps, a Tory barrister, a defeated candidate at the last elec-
tion, is it town, and canvassing the electors. A meeting of
the inhabitants was held on Wednesday evening, at which the
most determined hostility to the Tories was expressed.
BOLTON. —There will assuredly be a contest for this bo-
rough. Colonel Torrens, one of the present Members, and a
Durhamite, arriveel in the town on Saturday, and has been
canvassing his constituents. Mr. W. Bolling, the other
Member, and a liberal Tory, has been doing the same ; and
Mr. P. Ainsworth, a gentleman of great influence and a mo-
derate Reformer, has put out an address offering his services.

The Duke of Wellington transacted business yes-
terday at the Home Department for a considerable time.

A Deputation from the hamlet of Mile End, Old
Town, attended this day on his Grace the Duke of Wellington
at the Home Office, with an address to his Majesty. His
Grace very respectfully received the Deputation, and pro-
mised to lay the address before his Majesty. '

M. T. SADLER, ESQ.----It is reported that this
gentleman, in the event of a dissolution of Parliament, will
become a candidate for the city of Belfast, in Ireland.—Hull
Packet.

BOROUGH OF BRECON MEETING.—A public
meeting of the friends of reform and of civil and religious
liberty was held on Tuesday, at the Swan Inn, Brecon, which
was both numerous and respectable. The Member for the
borough, Lloyd V. Watkins, Esq. having been called to the
chair, explained the object of the meeting, which was to ex-
press its regret and alarm at the abrupt dismissal of the late
Ministry, and at the formation of another under the auspices
of the Duko of Wellington,—Shrewsbury Chronicle.
The Earl of Lauderdale's health, which had bean
for three or four years on the decline, has recently rallied.
Hopes are entertained by his Lordship's friends that he will
be able to attend his duty in Parliament.
It is a curious circumstance that since the new
police has been established up to the present time, the size pf
the men taken on has gradually increased to such an extent,
that the contractor for the clothing supplied to the men con.
sumed, in the last year, 1,000 more yards of cloth than in the
former years.
