HAMBURG, Nov. 25, 1834.
HEINE, BROTHERS, Contractors, for the
Great Lottery, published and drawn, by authority and
under guarantee of the Hamburg Government, beg to inform the
public, that the 65th Lottery of 10,000 Tickets will be drawn on
the 18th of March, next ; and tickets are now selling at 108 marks
banco, or 8/. The prizes are one of 100,000, one of 50,000, one of
30,000, one of 20,000, one of 10,000, two of 5,000, four of
3,000, seven of 2,000, twenty of 1,000, forty of 500, and 1,500 of
of 108 marks, which 1578 money prizes are altogether stated
in marks banco, and payable without any deduction whatever.
Four thousand tickets are delivered gratis to the holders of the
2,000 first drawn tickets, as per scheme; in consequence of which,
those purchasing one ticket, at the trifling cost of Si., may obtain
three prizes : and thus, if fortune prove favourable, gain 180,000
marks banco, at the present exchange, the fluctuations of which are
of a very trifling nature, equal to 13,000/. sterling.
Owing to the gratis tickets, the number of tickets on sale is a
very limited one, so that, of course, they will be cleared off very ra-
pidly, and a rise in price occur very soon. Those desirous to pur-
chase at the present first price of 81., are requested to direct, by
one of the first mails, but only for whole tickets, to the above named
contractors, Heine, Brothers, in Hamburg. Those remitting a
101. note will receive an order for the balance of 21., together with
the ticket; on the contrary, those preferring to pay Heine
Brothers' draft for the cost, are recommended to pay such draft im-
mediately when presented. A full scheme, and every desirable in-
formation, being always sent with the tickets, those giving orders
will only have to write a line, ordering the ticket et rickets, adding
the money, or an order for the same, or stating the mode of pay-
ment that may be preferrtJ to the more convenient one of remitting
bank notes, and giving their full and plain directions.

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 11, 1634.

It will be seen, by the Cour: Circular, that Sir R.
PEEL has received the Seals as Chaocellor of the Ex-
chequer. Other arrangements must &Fend on the
answer to be received from Lord STANLEY. Parlia-
ment has been further prorogued to the 15th ;.'f.
January ; but a dissolution may be expected in the
course of a week.

Had the Tories, when in power five short years ago,
conceded a little, how much had now been spared to
them ! Then, the granting of the elective franchise to
some half dozen towns might have tickled discontent
into a placid humour, and in all probability have
secured to themselves undisturbed power for the fifth
of a century to come. But their evil star was in the
ascendant, and their dogged obstinacy was the agent
by which destiny wrought out a great national bless-
ing. " There is a providence," saith the poet, " which
shapes our ways, rough-hew them how we will ;" the
very act whereby the perpetuation of oppression was
attempted, became the means of arresting its career.
What since has been the consequence ? Thoughts
soon grow into words, and words into deeds ; the
people were first made to murmur—murmuring begat
enquiry—and enquiry has ended in fixed opinion.
Tw,enty years rago the utterance of a tithe of the
bold and startling language which is now heard
daily, had stamped a man as a " Jacobin," a " Tom-
Painite," and all that deserved reproach and oppro-
brium. How changed are times and thoughts I
In a little pamphlet addressed as " A Letter to the
King," from the Bristol Mercury office, the writer,

very temperately, promulgates his views upon the ne-
cessity of a reform in the House of Lords :—" Let,"
he says, " the reformed House of Peers consist of
three hundred members. Let one hundred be nomi-
nated by the Crown—the second hundred be elected
by themselves—and the third portion by the people ;
and from that period we shall witness no more un-
seemly collisions between the Commons and the Lords.
* # * It is immaterial how many Peers we have,
so that the House of Lords is limited and electoral.
The greater the number of Peers, from which to make
the selection, the greater will be the probability of
selecting such as are qualified to discharge the duties
of their situation. It will be but one extraordinary
exercise of the Royal prerogative which will be re-
quired to render any such for the future unnecessary."
This, extremely cool method of propounding one of
the items of reform, by " suggesting" so extensive an
alteration in the Constitution itself, can hardly be palat-
able in certain high places. Yet such mighty changes
are openly discussed, and deliberated upon reasonably
and dispassionately. Artillery may mow men down,
but it cannot check the current of opinions once loosed.

We do not extract the passage as being consonant
with our own notions, but rather in illustration of the

tone of the times. The seed is planted, and the fruit
must follow.

Mr. SPANKIE has inflicted another. .epistle upon the
unhappy electors of Finsbury. In the few remarks we
made upon the former production of this gentleman,
we stated that his object was to confound. Reform with
Revolution, in order to frighten the timid from opposing
the Tory Administration. In this second effort of the
learned Sergeant's genius, the purpose is more dis-
tinctly avowed. All the horrors of the French Revo-
lution are revived, and made to pass in review before us,
and the writer's imagination is taxed to the uttermost to
conjure up others, with the view of persuading his consti-
tuents that there is no other way for them to avoid similar
calamities, than to sit still and see their liberty invaded—
their dearest rights trampled in the dust by a Military .
DespaL Now, if Mr. SPANKIE had not been blinded,
we do not say by the zeal of a new convert, but by
something very dazzling that glitters before his eyes,
he would have seen that the revolution which he holds
in terrorem over the good people of Finsbury was oc-
casioned by the delay of Reform—by the accumula-
tion of one abuse and one oppression upon another,
until the patience of the people could endure
no more. Then the torrent burst forth with ungo-
vernable fury, and the devastation which it committed
is to be imputed to those who, like Mr. SPANKIE, had
opposed its being gradually let off through the safe
and regular sluices of Reform, and who, be it re-
membered, were the first to suffer the punishment of their
transgressions. The conclusion, therefore, which a dis-
interested and honest man would draw from the French
revolution, is directly the reverse of that which Mr.
SPANKIE wishes to impress upon his constituents.
But the trick is too stale to succeed. It has been so
often tried by every time-server who had an object to
gain by ingratiating himself with the Tories, that one
is surprised to see so " respectable" an aspirant for
Tory favour have recourse to it.
We have not time to go into an examination of this
" wha-wants-me" manifesto ; nor indeed is it worth
the trouble, if the task were more pleasant than it is.
It is the lamest and the most contemptible apology for
" ratting," that ever was attempted to be palmed upon
the credulity of the public.

Church reform, upon which the mass of the people,
both Churchmen and Dissenters are unalterably bent,
is " inuendoed" to mean the abolition of the Church,
and we are told that it would " introduce among us
a set of low meddling priests or presbyters." Would
any one believe that this sneer proceeds from the pen
of a Scotch Presbyterian Parson ! We suppose, as
he has deserted his ancient political faith, he has also
forsaken the " puir auld Kirk."

We have received a very clever and very important
pamphlet, published by R DowAY and So Ns, on the
present Political Relations of England, France, Rus-
sia, and Turkey, which we intend making the subject
of more than one article. The great object of the
author is to point out the alarming extent to which
the aggressions of Russia are being carried ; to warn
England and France of the dreadful consequences
which must follow the downfall of the Ottoman
empire, by the machinations and intrigues of the
CZAR. ; and to show in what way so great an
evil may be averted, without proceeding to the last
extremity—a war throughout Europe. The author'
well performs what he has undertaken ; and we
shall be greatly surprised if his statements pro-
duce no effect on the councils of this country. For
years have we devoted our columns to the exposure of
the tyrannical domination of Russia; and during the
whole of the dreadful struggle for Polish independence,
we daily besought the prompt interference of the power
of England and France, to arrest the devastating
flight of the Northern eagle ; knowing well that
the slaughter of the brave but unhappy Poles was but
the prelude to scenes of more horrid carnage. The
Cabinets of London and Paris heeded us not ; one
excuse was pleaded after another ; and before these
Governments were prepared to take the subject into
serious consideration, the best blood in Poland had
saturated the streets of Warsaw ; and the nationality
of a brave Christian people was blotted out of the
map of European sovereignties, leaving it almost a
matter of speculation whether the balance of power in
Europe was not destroyed. We do not rightly corn-
p;Thend the author's meaning when, after asking
" How it happened that the two first nations in the
world, in a state of peace and of closest union, should
suffer the incorporafiPn with Russia of any people
whatever, whether guaranteed by treaties or not—far
less of that people universally recognised the bulwark
of Europe against the' organized overflow of the
Sclavonic hordes ? "—we repeat that after asking
this question, and a variety of others in the same
strain, we do not know in what sense to understand
the author's words when he answers himself by saying
that the extinction of Poland " was lamentable, but
irreparable. It became even generous to silence, in
favour of suffering humanity, the voice of national
'Acres t." Is this irony ? Or does the author think
that charity wears so wide a mantle, that she can afford
to fling a skirt of it over the past conduct of the Eng-
lish and French Cabinets ? " Poland," he says, " was
only to be supported by a war with the three Northern '
Powers." We doubt this. We believe that Russia would
have-giVen up all claim to Poland, rathe'r than risk the
consequences of a war with England and France.
We are firmly persuaded that the slightest preparation
for hostilities on our part would have saved unhappy
Poland. But waiving this point altogether, and ad-
mitting a war inevitable—what then ? Does England
dread the moral or physical power of the Northern
Despots ? Were a war necessary, is there any thing
in our present condition to deter us from undertaking it
with spirit? In such a cause as that of preserving the in-
dependence of Poland—yea, or even of attempting her
resuscitation, and raising her again from the ashes of the
burning pile on which she was treacherously and mur-
derously immolated—England would be herself a match
for the combined forces of Russia, Prussia, and Austria.
The Despots of the North calculate upon the vast-
ness of our national debt, being a sufficient guarantee
for our remaining neutral, whatever may happen. But
they have already reckoned too far on this obstacle.
Every war does not add to the national debt of a
country, and should England again take the field in
support of the liberties of her allies and of Europe,
she will not furl her banner, and sheathe her sword,
wholly at the expense of her own people.
The culpable conduct of France ; the means where-
by the power of Russia may be crippled ; and the
consequences of adapting such means, are thus briefly
and forcibly stated :
" The impulse of France, when the most trifling succour
would have served Poland, was arrested by the objection, that
her armies must pass over the body of Germany. Did France
not know that she could cast her shadow over the sea ? Had
she no chart of the Euxine—no thought of Turkey? No me-

mory of their common and historic hostility to the destroyer of
Poland ?

" Is the substance of Turkey, too, to be added to the
growth of Russia? Is the Mammoth f the Sarmatian plains
to become the Leviathan of the flesperian seas ? Is another
victim to be sacrificed within so short a space of time on the
same altar ; and because the same trifling succour is again
withheld? Are the remains of Turkey to be laid on the tomb
of Poland, to exclude every ray of hope, and render its doom
irrevocable ?

"- It is by the Dardanelles that we must reach the heart of
the Ottoman empire ; it is from the Bosphorus that our fleets
must issue, to arrest the invader. Invigorate Turkey, you not
only save her, but repair the disaster her weakness alone has
brought about. The existence of Poland is bound to that of
Turkey. One hand of iron is laid on both ; unlock that
withering grasp, and both start simultaneously to life. The
Dardanelles are the key to both ; both are to be secured by its
possession, or sacrificed by its loss."

Russia is, at this moment, advancing with the most
rapid strides towards the conquest of Turkey. . Her
emissaries are at work everywhere. Her first step
was to kindle the flames of civil war in Greece, which
she afterwards offered to extinguish, provided the
Sultan ceded to her the whole of the rebellious ter-
ritory. Failing in this she declared herself an
advocate for slave emancipation, and threatened
Turkey with a war to protect the Circassians.. The
PORTE, reduced to the last extremities, was glad to ob-
tain repose on any terms, and Russia seized upon one
district of territory after another, till she is now in
possession of all but the Dardanelles. She next turned
her attention to the internal state of Turkey, and by her
machinations produced a revolt in Syria, and now de-
clares for the establishment of MEHENIED ALI, as
the sole and independent Sovereign of Egypt.
By this scheme Russia hopes to render the
PORTE unable to assist his European Allies,
should they at last be induced to draw the
sword in his defence : and as to the premedi-
tated designs of Russia, we give a full explanation
of them when we say she is now fitting out a powerful
fleet ; her armies are everywhere in a state of prepara-
tion for hostilities ; and at this moment she has one
hundred ships of war cruizing in the Black Sea. - The
banks of the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles are lite-
rally bristled with Russian arms, and the choicest
troops are being stationed there on the most trifling
pretences. Will England and France witness the down-
fall of Turkey with the same philosophical indifference
with which they beheld the extinction of the nation-
ality of Poland .? If justice and good faith are to be
dispensed with whenever Russia thinks proper to
infringe them, must the interests of two powerful coin-
mercial nations likewise give way ? Is the iron embrace
of Russia to encircle one-half the globe ? Must her
footstool extend from the Northern to the Southern
Ocean ? and are we to stipulate with the CZAR of
Muscovy and his " Sclavonic horde 3," to become
his tributaries for the permission of carrying on our
trade in the East ? These are questions for the immediate
solution of the Cabinets of London and Paris.
The downfall of Poland only heralded the down-
fall of 'Turkey, provided the CZAR is permitted to
complete his first scheme of conquest. But there
is still room for altering our policy. We are still in pos-
session of the power by which we may humble Russia,
if our Government will only consent to act as becomes
the Representatives of a great nation. Our fleet is
unimpaired, and in so good a cause England would
still take the field, single hand, against the combined
despotic Powers of Europe. We cannot devote more
space to this subject to-day ; but should we not be
pressed with more important matter we shall return
to it to-morrow.

The Paris papers of Tuesday, received this morn-
ing, do not contain a syllable of domestic intelligence
worth giving. They are full of accounts of the
Ministerial choppings and changings in Eng-
land; of the state and prospects of the war in Spain ;
and of the tournamental marches of the Emperor NI-
cHoLA s from Berlin to Warsaw—but of their own
affairs they say nothing which can in any way interest
an English reader.
BOURSE, TUESDAY, DEC. 9.—Couriers have at last arrived
announcing definitively the conclusion of the Spanish loan, at
60 per cent., 3 per cent. commission, 2 per cent, for sundry
expenses; Messrs. Ardouin and Ricardo the contractors.
The French stock is very steady to-day ;no business. The
price of the 3 per Cents. has only fluctuated between 77f. 25c.
and 30c.

HALF-PAST 3 o'CLocK.—Five per Cents., 106 f. 70c. ;
Three per Cents., 77f. 30c. to 35c. ; Five per Cents.,
Spanish, 431 ; Cortes, 40; Guebhard Royal, 454-; Coupons
Cortes, 25 ; Differes, 35 ; Ducats, 94; Romans, 95 ; Belgic,
99; Pedros, 842; Miguels, 27-1.

The German Papers received this morning, state
that on the 27th ult. the Emperor NICHOLAS entered
Warsaw, in excellent health, accompanied by his
Guards. His Imperial Majesty was received with
acclamations of joy by the Council of the Adminis
tration, the Bishops, and the General Officers. There
were no Poles to impede his progress in the ancient
capital of the kingdom.

Arrivals from Madrid, of the date of the 2d instant,
have been received. The Spanish Government
has at last settled the affair of the loan, M.
A RDOUIN, of Paris, being declared the purchaser
by the Council. The tender of M. BERTRAND
DE Lys would have been accepted, but he
failed in procuring the required security, other capi-
talists declining to support him in what they consi-
dered a dangerous speculation. Ohl. A RpotuN has
agreed to pay 60 per cent. for the whole loan at all
risks, but should the stock rise to 66 per cent. within
six months after the signing of the contract, he is

to pay 60 per cent. for one half, and 66 for the
other. It is further stipulated that 12,000,000 reals,
advanced by M. ARDOUIN to the Spanish Govern-
ment, since the Bth of July last, with 5 per cent. inte-
rest due upon it, together with 60,000,000 reals ',due
to the Messrs. 11 oTtiscitiLD, of Paris, shall be all
accepted by the Government in part payment of ,the
loan. So far the loan merely pays off' one debt to ac-
cumulate another.

The Madrid Papers, likewise state that the Spanish
Ministry are under considerable apprehensions from
the accession to office of the Duke of WELLINGTON ;
but that they, nevertheless, have great hopes that his
Grace will undertake no measures which would have
the effect of rendering the fate of Spain more disastrous.
MARTINEZ' DE LA ROSA has already dispatched
a note to London, insisting upon the fulfilment of the
quadruple treaty. What the British Government may
think of this anticipation of Tory policy we cannot
tell ; but it will naturally produce rather unpleasant
feelings in Downing-street.
The principal intelligence from the North of Spain
is a Bulletin from General CORDOVA to General
MINA, dated Maestu, the 26th ult. detailing the ac-
count of a victory gained by him over the Carlists,
near Salvatierra. The engagement was obstinate on
both sides. The number killed on, the part of the
Carlists was 70 ; on the side of the Royalists 50 fell.
On both sides the number of the wounded was still
greater.

The other news from Navarre is little more than a
catalogue of murders, rapines, robberies, on-slaughts,
and crimes of the most horrid hue, moving in the wake

of rebellion. The success of both parties is vaunted by
their respective organs ; and that success consists in
adding a few more murders to the list of previous mas-
sacre. One of the Madrid Evening Papers, in the
confidence of Government, contains the following :
" We know from intelligence worthy of credit, dated
Logrono, 26th inst., and on the authenticity of which we place
every reliance, that Brigadier Oraa had seized six individuals
belonging to the rebel junta of Navarre, and that he had also
made himself master of 1,000,000 of reals, of two cannons,
800 lances, and other matters. This capture was due to the
passing over of 10 officers belonging to the faction."

This is important, but not sufficiently so to be
made the subject of extended observation. Many
such victories must be gained before the Carlist faction
are completely subdued. IVleanwbile murder stalks
abroad at noon-day, and so glutted are the people
with slaughter, that death has lost all excitement, un-
less accompanied by torture. They are become very
epicures in the atrociousness of guilt. The Madrid
correspondent of a morning contemporary thus speaks
of them :

" The taste of the Spaniards, who during three centuries
were taught to look with pleasure at the autos da fe and the
bull-fights, has grown sanguinary and even brutal. Every day
the newspapers are filled with accounts of prisoners shot on
both sides of the civil strife ; but it appears reserved to " the
defenders of the throne and altar" to commit atrocities on their
prisoners which not even the Indian savages would attempt.
The most sensitive parts of the human frame have been burnt
off, or torn out by the roots, before the wretched sufferers re-
ceived the stroke of death, which was slowly caused by stabs
and gun-shots. Such was the fate of some persons lately
in La Mancha, and such is the account published in the
Bilboa Journals of what took place at the death of a Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Boneta, and three other persons taken on the
17th inst. at Durango, near that city. Those unfortunate men
were first stripped of their clothes, and then forced to go five
leagues without stoppage, to the place where they were thus
inhumanly butchered. There is more legality shown by the
adherents of the Queen, for the accounts published state that
none are shot except by martial law, unless when caught in the
fact of rebellion, with arms in their hands."

We have several private accounts before us bearing
testimony to the faithfulness of the above appalling
sketch. Cadiz and Granada are in a state of tranquil-
lity. A cargo of muskets, for the use of the QUEEN'S
troops has been landed at Santander from England.
