As far as our recollection serves us all these
persons are identified with the new order of
things in France and will maintain the character
of their own Government in the respective Courts
to which they are accredited. Their appoint-
ment had become necessary on various
grounds, but on none more titan the new
relations between France and this country. It
would have been impossible for the French Court
to have given effect to the representations which
are necessary for the completion of a commercial
treaty with England without such a change.
We would recommend to Lord PALMERSTON
to follow the example of the Duke de BROGLIE,
and appoint new Ambassadors to several of those
Courts in which the Duke of WELLINGTON is
much more efficiently represented than Earl
GREY.

The Message). des Chambres contains a long
article, in which it is stated that a triple alliance
between Great Britain, France, and Austria is
on foot against Russia, but insinuates that the
condition of the adhesion of Austria is the
adoption of Anti-liberal principles in France.
The idea, however, is absurd. Louts PHILIP
will not so readily abandon the tenure by which
he holds his Crown.

The Nouvelliste contains an article from the
Lisbon Gazette of December 19, in which it is
stated that the Pedroites had made a sally, in which
they were repulsed on all points. This is the
affair of the 17th, which we know terminated

in favour of the Constitutionalists, and placed
a great part of Villa Nova in their hands.

We understand that the avowed object of
M. Pozzo DI BonGo's mission to this country
is to obtain the concurrence of our Government
in some proposal of the Russian Cabinet in
favour of the PoRTE, and against the Pacha of
EGYPT, the Emperor NICHOLAS haring, it
seems, for cer►ain concessions, and with a view
to a continued influence over Turkey, consented
to take the SULTAN under his protection. The
French Government having a leaning towards
Egypt, and it being considered by NICHOLAS
that there is still enough of the old Leaven in
our Cabinet to join in the regret expressed by
the Duke of WELLINGTON at the " untoward
event," which crippled our " Ancient Ally"
at Navarin, the Northern Autocrat hopes to
sow dissension between this country and
France. We trust he will be disappointed.
If there be any point of foreign policy
in which the Cabinets of Great Britain and
France are likely to disagree, they will do
well to discuss the question calmly and in the
,pirit of friendship, and not allow the emissary
of a Power, w hich is hostile to both, to convert
into enemies two nations whose interest it is to
he perpetual friends.

Several of the Papers have announced that
Prince TALLEYRAND is on the point of re-
signing the post which he holds as Ambassador
from the French Court. This is not quite the
fact. M. de TALLEYRAND has mentioned his
intention of retiring from public life,—a decision
worthy of the judgment of this extraordinary
man, for although now in the full vigour of in-
tellect, the Prince feels that when men become
Octogenarians they are better qualified for a sta-
tion of repose than for a life of turmoil—but he
does not mean, we understand, to retire at the
earliest for several months. Three persons are
already named by their respective friends as his
probable successor—General SEBASTIANI, Ge-
neral BAUDRAND, who was here some time
ago on a special mission, and Count FLAHAUT.
The latter, we think, the most reasonable state-
ment. M. de FLAHAUT is a man of the
highest talents, and being the husband of a Bri-
tish Peeress (the Baroness KEITH), he must
have feelings towards this country in unison with
the policy which unites it with France.

It appears that the British and French Charges
d'Affaires at the Hague have not communicated
any thing very satisfactory respecting the project
9f a convention submitted to Holland by Lord
PALNIERSTO'N and Prince TALLEYRAND. The
Dutch Ministers separately have stated their
nixiety to terminate the affair, but the KING is
as obstinate as ever.

We have recently heard an anecdote connected
witk the late election for West Kent, which
affords so striking and complete an answer to
one of the favourite fallacies of the opponents
of the Ballot that we cannot forbear relating
it. Sir WILLIAM GEARY, a young man,
indeed so young that he cannot or ought
not to have been very long from school, was
set up as the Conservative candidate against
Messrs. HODGES and RIDER. The clergy
enerally, and a large portion of the squirearchy,
used the most pressing arguments with all over
whom they had any influence, to vote for Sir
' WILLIAM. The question of whether their
poor dependents approved of his principles was
never put to them, the command being distinctly,
" You go with me to-morrow to vote for Sir
WILLIAM GEARY." Among those to
whom some such argument was addressed,
was a poor, but exceedingly honest and
industrious man, who, to eke out his
means, acted as clerk in a certain parish of West
Kent, which had Tunbridge for its polling place.
We have said that he was honest and indus-
trious, which almost implies that he had good
plain common sense, and that plain sense inclined
him to the liberal side in politics. We are not
quite sure that he had not promised to vote for
HODGES and RIDER, but at any rate it was
well known in the parish which way his inclina-
tions tended. The polling day came, and PRICE
(for so we beg to call our hero) was met at
Tunbridge by some gentlemen of his parish,
but residing at a distant part of it. They offered
to shake hands with him ; he drew bacl7,
burst into tears, and said, " What, will you
still shake hands with me, when I have been
forced to vote for Sir WILLIAM GEARY ?"
The gentlemen did shake hands with him, and
it seemed to sooth his feelings, but he left the
town bowed down with the sense of his degra-
dation. He had acted a lie to promote a cause
he did not approve of. The opponents of the
Ballot pretend that that mode of voting will give
rise to lying and hypocrisy, but what did this
man do when he gave his vote, but lie ? The
act of voting is a form, if we may so speak, of
saying, " I consider this the most fit man offered
to my choice to represent me in Parliament." For
a man to give his vote, not so thinking, is,
as we said before, to act a lie. Supposing,
then, that a man does promise his landlord to
vote for a particular person, and by means of
the ballot votes for some one else, the utmost
that can be said is, that in giving the promise he
played the hypocrite and lied. But no ouc will
venture to say that the offence is any thing equal
to that which is committed under the present
system, when a man is obliged to vote against
his conscience. We imagine, too, that a man
who broke such t promise would, if any thing,
feel himself elevated instead of degraded,
like the poor wretch whose feelings were
trampled upon in the case we have mentioned.
What we say is, that under, the Ballot, landlords
will not ask for promises, the performance of
which they cannot insure ; but if they should,
which they would have no business to do, the
sin, if any, lies at their door, and not at
that of the man who promised, under fear of
them, to do that which he believed to be
Wrong. Of course what we say goes to the
total abolition of the present system of canvass-
ing, which we hope to see considered just as

infamous as the solicitation of Judges on Jury-
men, to influence their decision upon a trial.
Let Candidates plead their cause at the bar
of public opinion, at meetings, through the
periodical press, and in pamphlets, and we
will answer for it, that the vote by ballot
would, in its results, accurately vindicate the
esteem in which they were respectively held
by the constituency. We have, in another
column, inserted a letter upon the subject of
vote by ballot, signed " A Friend to Mo-
rality and Honesty," which, we think, gives a
very fair explanation of the causes of the mis-
apprehension which exists in the minds of many
with respect to it. We have great pleasure in
referring our readers to it.

Several of our contemporaries, the Chro-
nicle especially, have been, very needlessly, we
think, lately wasting a number of angry words
on the subject of the Speakership of the House
of Commons. They look upon the election of
Mr. MANNERS SUTTON as a defeat of liberal
principles and a triumph of Toryism. How stand
the facts ? Mr. SUTTON is acknowledged to be
an excellent Speaker. If he retires the country
is saddled with a large pension, if he preserves
his place the pension is saved, and instead of
the Tories reaping a triumph the fact would
only show the utter contempt in which their
strength as a party is held by the Reformers. The
election of a Speaker used to be considered a trial
of party strength, but such need not be the case,
nor do tine think it will be in future. The
Chronicle considers the very " suspicion of the
Tory representative for Cambridge University
keeping order in the House as disgusting." We
are surprised that our excellent contemporary the
Chronicle should be so far misled by sounding
words and ancient prejudices, as to lose sight of
the substance, which we take to be the obtaining
of an efficient Speaker at the least possible cost.
That object will be attained by electing Mr.
MANNERS SUTTON ; and as to the good he
will do to the Tory cause in the office of Speaker,
it will amount just to none.

A letter on the subject of Ireland, signed
" DALETI-1," will be found in another part of
The Sun, to which we invite the notice of our
readers. It takes a comprehensive view of the
subject, is written with feeling and energy, and
on the subject of that most intolerable nuisance,
the Irish Protestant Church, is remarkable for
the boldness and sagacity of its opinions. Nor
must we omit to allude to the spirit in which
the writer views the Repeal Question, which he
considers will, if carried, be unquestionably
the cause, not of a partial, but of a
complete separation between the two countries.
It is in this light that we have always viewed
the question,—while we have allowed (for is it
possible to do otherwise !)1 that Ireland has
many great and crying injuries to be redressed ;
while we have allowed, that, under the regime of
the Tories, she was always looked on as a slave,
on whom courtesy would be thrown away ; yet,
nevertheless, we have considered the Repeal of
the Union as a measure likely, not to heal
these wounds of centuries, but to aggravate
them,—in fact, to put the seal to Ireland's ruin.
If the Repealers hope effectually to benefit
their country, they must be content to do so in a
United Parliament. On a satisfactory Church
Reform, as well as on the removal of many other
flagrant abuses, they may confidently reckon, if
they only make common cause to secure it, in a
constitutional manner.

A correspondent informs us that the police
are actively engaged in removing from the walls
a placard which has been placed upon them by
some disappointed men who have returned from
Oporto, and who appear to be patronized by the
Miguelite agents in this country. False and
calumniatory as the placard in question is, we
still think that if the police are acting, as our cor-
respondent states, their conduct is unwarrantable to
the last degree. If the Police Commissioners
are to determine what may or may not be made
public in the streets, what security have we,
that a placard for a public meeting, for the
legal expression of feeling on a political sub-
ject, may not be removed, provided the police
think it unpalateable to the Government ? Setting
aside the illegality of the present act, we have
great pleasure in noticing the source from which
it proceeds, as it proves that the wishes of
the Ministry are with the righteous cause ; but
where is the necessity, to say nothing of the right,
of such a proceeding ? If the wretched adven
turers who have issued this placard against Don
PEDRO had not been thought too contemptible
for prosecution, the agents of that personage
would have taken legal steps. They have, how-
ever, adopted the wiser course- No man of
common sense can read the placard without
being struck with its scurrility and falsehood,
without being convinced by the statement of the
lih; filers themselves that they have been driven
from Oporto for reasons which they are
ashamed to own. Every body knows that,
from indiscretion, or some worse cause, many
of the inferior agents of Don PEDRO had
sent to Oporto men who would have disgraced
any society,
and brought discredit upon any
undertaking. No wonder, then, that some of
these men have been sent back to their native
shores. The only real cause of complaint that
they can have is that they have not received the
whole of their pay ; but has Don PEDRO had the
means of paying up all the arrears, and is it not a
fact that his own secretaries, who, from having had
their property confiscated by the Usurper, are
destitute, have been nearly two years without
salary ? When men of honour are compelled to
make such sacrifices, we must not be surprised
at a little deficiency of payment towards persons
who, if they had their deserts, would be paid in
a very different way. Had they behaved well,
and waited patiently until funds had been pro-
vided, they would not have had to complain of
ill treatment from the Chiefs of the army which
they have endeavoured to disgrace.
Those who have not seen the placard alluded
to, may form some idea of its character when we

tell them that one of the paragraphs is headed in
the following words:--" MIGUELITE HUMA-
NITY AND BRITISH BARBARITY." MI-
GUELITI; HUMANITY! ! Really this is draw-
ing too largely upon our credulity.

Frankfort Papers, bringing Vienna dates to
the 26th, Berlin to the 22d, and Frankfort to
the 30th ult., arrived this morning. The former
state that the young King of HUNGARY was at
the point of death, and announce that the negotia-
tions respecting Portugal are going on favourably.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

George Smith was found guilty of stealing the till,
containing about 31., from the shop of a baker at Stepney-
causeway, named Burmpstead.
The CHAIRMAN had no doubt but that in the prisoner
(aged 14) the Court had got one of the leaders of those
numerous gangs of young street thieves ; therefore it was
his duty to make an example of him, in order to break up
the system.—Sentenced to seven years' transportation.
Two other young boys, one 12, and the other 13, were
indicted for the same offence, but as they were only seen
picking up some of the money when Smith upset the till,
they were acquitted.
George Yarflo!d was indicted for stealing a quantity
of wearing apparel and linen from the house of a mangler,
in High-street, Poplar.

Verdict, Guilty; sentence, three months' imprisonment
and hard labour.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK

The only arrivals this morning are two French mails,
by which the accounts from Brussels and Antwerp state,
that the Belgian army under the command of General
llaine, entered Antwerp on the 3d January, and was to
leave immediately, to take up a position in advance on
the road to Bergen-op-Zoom. General Evain reviewed
the troops in the PI ,cede Meer, and the enthusiasm was
great, which became louder on hearing the mu- of cannon
from the direction of Fort Lillo. A general report pre-
vai'ed at Antwerp, and letters direct front Holland also
state, that the Dutch troops were on the eve of attacking
the Belgians. The Belgian army which is going to meet
them, consists of the Civic Guard of Courtray, one regi-
ment of the line, eight squadrons of Lancers, two
regiments of Chasseurr, the sth and 12th regiments of
the line, with a battery of artillery. It was reported
that the Dutch were going to make an attack from two
points, Breda and Venloo.

Accounts from Boulogne state that a new detachment of
500 volunteers were embarked for Oporto there on the
29th of December, and set sail on the 30th for their des•
tination.

The journey of Field Marshal Paskewitsch to Prussia
has caused great fear that a general peace will not be long
maintained, but others assert that his journey relates to the
affairs of Poland.

The capitulation of the Citadel of Antwerp, when made
known to the Prussian troops stationed in the Rhenish pro.
vinces, caused some fermentation amongst them.

THE FUNDS.

Consols, which left off yesterday at 871 for the Ac-
count, are stationary this morning at the above price, with
very little doing at present. The speculators and jobbers
are anxiously waiting the answer of the King of Holland
to the convention proposed to him.
A Morning Journal has published an account of a loss
sustained by Don Pedro's troops of 800 men. This in-
formation is said to have come by the last arrival from
Oporto by the Osprey, which left on the 25th. All we
know positive on the subject is, that the letter from the
C iptain of the said vessel to his owners, who was three
days at Oporto, does not make any mention of the above
event, and we do not hear that any other letter has been
received. It is rather extraordinary that we have no
authentic accounts since the l7th ult. from that quarter.
In the Foreign Market nothing doing.
HALF-PAST ONE.

We have every reason to believe from our private
source of inform ition that the King of Holland's answer•
to the proposals of the English and French Governments
will be of a favourable description ; it is not expected that
it will be despatched from the Hague until to-morrow.
Consols have become, since the early part of the morn-
ing, rather heavy ; at that period they were 87- for the
Account, and went up to 88 to ; at present they may
be quoted at 87j For the first time this day the
Commissioners for the Sinking Fund have purchased, but
to a very small amount, only 250 3i per cents. ; but have
purchased to a greater extent for the Saving Banks—about
25,000. This pigmy puraha•e boa the efccot of improving
the Market.
In the Foreign Funds little or nothing doing.

Breaking up of Mr. OwEN's Institution.—
A meeting was held yesterday afternoon at the Institu-
tion of the Industrious Classes, in Gray's Inn-road, Rev.
Dr. WADE in the Chair, when Mr. OwaN announced
that the institution could not he carried on within the
same premises another year, unless the public came for-
ward with donations and subscriptions to enable the asso-
ciation to pay the enormous rent of 1,4001. per annum.
AN AWFUL INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATH.
—Yesterday afternoon an inquest eras held at Mr. Palcz's
the Sun, Long-acre,: before J. litcxs, Esq., Coroner for
Westminster, on the body of JOHN LABINERT, Esq., chief
clerk to Mr. BELsitaw, wise-merchant, of Covent-
garden. The deceased was a few moments before his
death taking tea with Mrs. PRICE, and conversing in the
most cheerful manner ; after drinking a cup of tea he rose
for some purpose and left the room, and on returning to
the tea-table he placed his hand upon his heart and ex-
claimed 0, my Gon ! fell down, and instantly expired
Dr. RoatxsoN, of Long-acre, who had attended the de-
ceased for some years, stated that the deceased bad met
with his death through an internal haemorrhage. His con-
versation was at all times of the most intellectual descrip-
tion, he having been a Member of the University of Cain-
bridge, and a classic of the very first water. He had for some
months previous to his death complained of violent pains in
his chest; but on Sunday, the day on which he died, he was
particularly cheerful. Verdict—Dirt by the visitition
of God. •

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

At the time when President Jackson, by one
of the boldest experiments which has been an-

nouneed to Congress for the last twenty years,
. .

proposes not only to modify the existing import
duties, but to alter the very principle on which
they are founded, and consequently to readjust
the commercial relations between the United

States and their great customer, England, it is
of the gravest interest, if not of the utmost im-
portance, to obtain accurate inf,rmation in this
country on the fiscal laws of the Union, and the
acts lately passed for regulating the trading in-
tercourse between it and foreign nations. A
fifth or a sixth part in value of all the trade of
Great Britain is carried on with the North

American States, and by the modification of the
tariff that trade may be expected rapidly to in-
crease. It is therefore with pleasure that we
see the announcement, and have received an im-
perfect copy, of a work, to be published in
London, by an intelligent German, who has
long resided in America (W. R. Renss), en-
titled " Calculations and Statements relative to
the Trade between Great Britain and the United
States of America." One of " the statements"
or rather tables in the 144 pages of the printed
sample which has been sent us is rendered, in
the arrival of the President's message, of an im-
portance which the author could not have anti.
cipated at the time that he drew it up. Both
the President and the Finance Minister, it will

be recollected, declared their wish to abando
all import duties intended only for protretion t
peculiar branches of industry (excepting a few
rare cases), and to levy future duties for revenue
alone. As the American debt was to be ex-
tinguished, as far as it is redeemable within the
year, on the Ist of January inst., and as indeed
no debt but a sum of 37,000,000 dols. remaine"
to be redeemed, it would be easy to calculate flit
amount to which the aggregate produce of thl
tariff would be reduced by the new system o 1
policy', on simply comparing the existing expen-
diture with the custom-house income. Mr.
Maclane's estimate for the whole necessar\
expenses of the General Government amounted
only to 15.000,000 dots. The tariff last year
produced 28,000,000 dols., which,together wits
the sale of the public lands, the interest of Bank
stock, foreign indemnities, and other items, raised
the revenue to more than double the ordinarN
expenditure, and thus enabled the Government
to cancel a proportional amount of debt. But
as the import duties were modified and reduced
by the act of last July, the tariff could not pro-
duce so great a revenue by several millions .31
dollars in future years as in the last. According
to the Minister's calculation, it would only ex-
ceed the expenditure by about 6,000,000 dols..
and consequently that sum would be the limit
future reductions. The work before us, pro-
ceeding on the amount of imports in 1830, does
not give so sanguine a' view of the estimated
revenue ; but it ought to be recollected, that
within the last two years the trade. of Americi,
has extended to a degree totally
,unexampled.
In a table showing the amount .of_ duties accord.
ing to the rates of the tariff of 1828, and the
amount of duties according to the Modified tariff
of 1832, calculated upon the importations o'
the year ending September 30, 1830,We find that
the former was 21,714,770 dols., while the latter
would only have been
.15,126,959 dols. Such a
produce would amount to little more than the esti-
mated expenditure, anti therefore would permit no
further reductions, unless we took into account
the increase of importations, which the Presi-
dent stated was last year nearly one-third beyond
the year 1830. Thus do the calculations formed
in Europe, and the official accounts of the
American Government, nearly agree. Thougl
we entered at some length into the contemplated
change of policy on the tariff question, in our recent
remarks on the President's message, we omittec
to point out some of the other important changes
of which he announces the execution if he can
obtain the consent of the Congress. Tires(
have all one principle and one object, namely, to
narrow the basis of the General Government,—
to detach from the central Administration at
Washington all subjects of dispute or different(
between it and the separate states,—to permit
each section of the Union to enjoy as much t)
its sovereignty as is compatible with a confedera.
tion for eternal defence or for the prevention o
mutual quarrels about their limits or juris.
dictions,— and never to interfere with the
freedom of their individual action except whet
it would compromise the general safety
Hence he has refused his consent to the renewa
of the Bank Charter, because he thinks that tht
General Government has nothing to do with bank-
ing, and should grant no exclusive privileges ii
the separate states under its authority,—hence,ht
seems even inclined to dispense with the federa:
• judicature,—and hence he proposes to dispos(
of the public lands to the separate states in whicl
they be, instead of reserving them as a source o
revenue, and a subject of management for th(
federal Administration. In several of these pro.
jests, and particularly the last, he is opposed tit
men of great talents, profound political science,
and undoubted patriotism. To them tires(
lands, bought with the federal treasure, and de.
fended by federal troops, appear a legitimate
source of revenue to the General Government
Their allotment in the hands of the latter is
more uniform, their survey more accurate, and
their registration more secure. The inhabitants
of the states whose population is so dense as to
render emigration to the back settlements desir-
able, are always sure of dealing more easily
with the officers and agents of Washington than
with local proprietors. In these and other are
guments, ably stated and enforced in the America?,
Quarterly Review and other recent American
publications, the European public will generally
be found to concur, though they may allow ere•
dit to General Jackson for the motives whicl
have led him to recommend an opposite sys.
