LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 9, 1829.

It seems that the worthy Ultras are mightily
offended at that part of Mr. HusictssoN's Elec-
tion Speech, in which he explained the circum-
stances connected with the formation of the new
Ministry. On the resignation of Lord GODE•
RICH, their Journals succeeded in persuading
half the world, that his MAJESTY was re-
solved to make a radical change of men
and measures, and .as a fit and proper in-
strument for effecting summarily the Royal
will, that the Commander-in-Chief had been ap-
pointed to form a pure Tory Administration.
They gave out for his Grace's direction sundry
sketches of an Administration, in which high Offi-
ces were assigned in exact proportion to the sup-
posed uhraism of the parties, and, of course, no
person tainted with liberality was to be admitted.
Subsequently, however, they began to think that
this would notquite answer,-and so, on the rumour
of the Duke's interviews with Mr. liustussoN,
they hinted, and at last boldly asserted, that the
Noble Mice, with a view of circumventing them,
w.„ 7kitthig tu uccc3eity, in admitting some Of
theseliberals for a time ; but that the nation might
depend on it that they would be gradually
weeded out. It was, of course, matter of little
importanee, that with such a laudable object in
view, they should charge his Grace with the
basest insincerity, a crime that. 'his bitterest
enemies have never suspected him capable
of. They were, of course, long since sure
that the Noble and Gallant Duke (because
most unfortunately agreeing with them on
one subject) would restore those golden days of
patronage and corruption, when no small part of
. •
the'" Secret Service-money" found its way to
the capacious pockets of the hireling advocates
of oppression and misrule. But in supposing
the Duke to be •the friend of corruption, we
suspect these minions Will find that.they were as
far out, as they undoubtedly were when they in-
sinuated the possibility of his acting with dissi-
mulation and artifice. •

These statements having, been _unblushingly
and incessantly made, and having succeeded in
deceiving a great part of the community, it was
of course incumbent:on Mr. I-Itralcissoti to vin-
dicate himself and-his friends by a plain state-
-
ment of facts. As to the term pledge or guarantee
(which it seems has given offence) we really
cannot perceivelthatit was.anyways objectionable.
Public rumour and the Tory Journals announced
a complete change of measures, and on being
invited to join the New Administration, .We do
not see how Mr. 'HUSKISSON, with any regard
to character, could possibly have avoided en-
quiring
_whether the policy -with. which he Was
identified, was to be abandoned. lie was told
that no such purpose was entertained, and
' what' can this he Called but a' pledge or
guarantee. The word of the. Noble Duke
was, in his eyes, Sufficient ; and Mr. Hus-
Kissox may be said to have given his guarantee
to. a liberal ,pplicy as much as the other contract.,
ing party.. :Indeed, to attach any .other signifi
cation to the word. guarantee is equally insulting
to both. It suppqesthat Mr. liusicissoN,
, .
feeling his co-operation necessary, presumed to
beard the.-Conqueror' of"..E4n4ljet no that that
great man had- the unaccountable meanness to
subscribe to a line of -policy which he, in his
heart, disapproved. This then is surely the " de-
ductiO ad absurdum," and.. consequently no
rational ,man can doubt that the . Duke and Mr.
PEEL {notwithstanding the insinuations bf the
Ultras) approve as much as Mr.. Husic sso -
of the principles of Free Trade, arid.:kif,,that
strict economy which is alone suited to thy-state
of our finances. •

But in thy eyes of your thorough-going

Tories econom! of the public money, and the
absence of jobbing,' are mttch more seriotii evils,
- • -
tban the passing of the Catholic Queston--
which would be only objectionable to their in as
much as Catholics would be then admitted to a
share of the loaves and fishes. They will there-
foTe do 'all in their power to sow dissension
amongst the Members-of the present Adminis-
traticin, which is by no means such as they would
'
wish for, but we- trust that their exertions' will
tr as unavailing as their purpose is indignant.

In another column will be found some extracts
from the French Papers of Wednesday, and the
gazette de France of Thursday. The only
I thing worthy of remark is the circumstance of
the Emperor of AUSTRIA'S extending his pro,:
tection to the Jesuits, to compensate their recent
discomfiture in France. We are not sorry for this
additional proof of his MAJESTY'S solicitude for
an order, whose vital interest is so directly op-
posed to the progress of liberal opinion and en-
lightened institutions. The EMPEROR'S power
is founded on despotism, and those who incul-
cate doctrines favourable to him nrot so far
support his power, and be therefore acceptable
to his. MAJESTY. But how long can Austria
resist the all-pervading spirit of improvement ?
The march of armies cannot controul the march
of mind.

German and Dutch Papers to a late date, have
keen received this morning, from which we make
the following extracts :
MIAMI, JAN. Si. .
In the Second Chamber of the States-General, a message
from his Majesty was read, accompanying a project of law
for the establishment of public entrepots in the principal
maritime cities in which goods may be deposited, and sub-
sequently re-exported. To the project of law, which is very
short, a memorial is annexed explanatory of its intention,
and of the advantages to commerce which it is calculated
to produce.
HAWBURGH, JAN. 29.

The treaty of commerce between the Hanseatic cities
and the empire of Brazil was ratified at Rio de Janeiro by.
the Emperor on the 24th Nov. The import duty upon
all German goods, as well as on the produce of the North
of Europe, imported into Brazil by Hanseatic ships, is fixed
at 15 per cent.
CHRISTIANIA, JAN. 19.

It is confirmed that two of our brigs of war are to be
fitted out for the Mediterranean. They are to sail from
Frederickhvarn on the 22d Moral, and to arrive at Gotten-
burgh between the 2bth March and Ist April, where they
are to Rijn the Swedish ships.
COPENUAGEN, JAW. 26.

On the 16th of this month, by a very important Royal
Ordinance, relative to the due and speedy Admiaistration of
Justice, with a view to check, as far as possible, the abuses
which have crept in since the Ordinance of the same
nature, issued on the 3d of June, 1796, the principles
and regulations of that Ordinance' are not only renewed,
but so improved and enlarged that persons engaged in law-
suits will he secured, as far as possible, against all undue de-
lays and protracting of their suits.

- STOCKHOLM', JAW. 25.

We hear that Admiral Wordenskold is appointed corn-
mandereof the sqnadron of oni ship of the line, and two

There were formerly at Augsburgh one gymnasium for
the Catholic youth, and another for the Prote.4tant, so
that every father of a family was able to entrust his
children to a Catholic or a Protestant teacher, as he
thought fit. Under an administration which is beyond
the reach of blame, since it has ceased to Inuit, the,
two establishments were united, and parents were
obliged to intrust their children to Masters of a religion
different from their own. On the accession of his Majesty,
Xing Louis, who desires all his subjects to enjoy the benefits
of justice and reasonable liberty, the constraint which
had hitherto been imposed on so many parents ceased, and
_:
the two seminaries have been-re-established.

The Journal of St. Petersburgh contains no, political
new•, but numerous promotions, among which are the
names of four officers of the squadron in the Alediterranean,
who received the Order of St. Georg', of She 4th Clots, for
Aril. conduct at Navarin. esi4i

We have on a former occasion expressed our
gratitude to the General Post-office, Dublin, for
the uniform attention and politeness paid to our
communications upon matters of business, and we
willingly avail ourselves of an opportunity to
renew our thanks, and to record our high sense
of the liberality, correctness, and unwearied
anxiety to benefit the public, with which that
Establishment is conducted. The public have
occasionally, and the Editors of Papers more
frequently, had reason to complain that news-
papers miscarried from causes unexplained, or
over which they had no controul. The Postmaster-
s have evinced every disposition to rectify
these mistakes ; but the evil in many cases was
beyond their power. If is not fair to suppose that
all newspapers lost are attributable to neglect at
m
the Post Office. Many are lost on their way
to, and many more after leaving, the Post
Office. So far as this can be corrected, our
readers will see in another column, that the
P°sntinas.

tude the most effective

Lordships for securing
the comfort and protecting the property of the
public ; and. we trust that it will he conducive
to the attainment of its object.

To our readers in Ireland we have much plea
sure in saying that they are entirely indebted
to any satisfaction they
may receive from our
extra exertions to the great alacrity and public
spirit manifested by the Post Office, itt seconding
'our attempts to diffuse early and in in-
formation. Without the Post Office our exer-
tions would he useless : that establishment is en-
titled to our gratitude, and meritd • the thanks of
the Irish people.
