LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, MAY SO, 1828.

We have the satisfaction of finding the opi

nion we • stated yesterday,—namely, that the
recent breach in the Cabinet has originated in a
difference of principle,—confirmed by the almost

universal voice of the Public. The Daily Jour.

Ilals, whatever be their politics, concur (with A
single exception) in that view of the sub 7
ject. The sober regrets of all moderate men,—
the violent raptures of all shades and &greet;
of High Tories, whether Ultras, Semi-Ultras
or Demi-Semi-Ultras,—all unite in speaking

the same language.
Whatever corroboration this opinion may
be thought yet to want, will be found in
the annals of that high mass of impos-
ture, calling itself the Pitt Dinner. The Corn-
Inander-in-Chief of the State sat, it appears,
very well pleased—(he must have been pleased,
for the Ultra-Reporters say that "he spent a
very delightfid evening")—while his neigh-
bours, right and left, complimented him on the
skill and success of his recent evolutions in the
Council-Chamber : while that enlightened gen-

tleman, the Earl of HAREWOOD, assured him
that, as soon as he should present to the country
as firmly united Cabinet. all would go well
while the " venerable the Earl of ELDON, ex
pressed with a flood of tears his earnest hope
that things would now be settled " on a satis-
" factory basis," and that " confidence and hope
" would yet be restored to every friend of the
" Constitution."

We press this view of the matter, because we

deem it most material for every thinking man,
who feels an interest in public affairs, to form
a proper estimate of the nature of the change
in question. Be the change right or wrong,—
be it a purification of the Government by re-
moving its dross, or a deterioration of it by
leaving only its dregs,—still it was the crisis of
a conflict respecting the principles on which
the country ought to be governed. ,The Mi-
nistry had been formed by amalgamating two
parties. It has been dissolved by the discord
of those two parties,—by the ejection of one of
them,—and by the unqualified ascendancy of
the other.

This being manifestly the state of things, we
do not mush complain, that some of the warm
admirers of the Premier, should highly laud
the " generalship" that has gained him
his victory. We do not complain that they
eulogisa is discretion or his dexterity. We cannot
indeed quite concur in the encomium ;—for the
achievement thus praised really appears to us a
very ordinary sort of mancenwe,--but, we repeat,
we do not think these commendations of it a
matter of complaiut. What we complain of is
this, that, in celebrating the merits of a Captain
whose unrivalled fame is the property not of
himself but of the nation, the eulogist should pre-
cisely select the recent enterprise as the happiest
possible instance of his openness, manliness, and
straight forwardness, of character.
It appears to us that the plain, frank, and
simple course for the Prime Minister, on receiv-
ing Mr. HumussoN's letter, would have been
to say, "In my sincere opinion, we do differ in
principle too much to sit any longer in the
same Cabinet ; and therefore let us amicably
part." The only doubt we feel is, whe-

tiler this ought not to have been said before
Mr. WsKissoN's letter was received, and even
before the occasion occurred on which that let-

;er was written.

It appears to us, in a word, that, if a dif-
ferenceprinciple was the real ground of the
upt of
rupture, it ought to have been the ostensible
ground of it also. Instead of snapping (as the
Times well expresses it) at a letter which spoke
of resignation, to fasten on that word,—and, in
spite of all explanation, all remonstrances, all
enquiry, still obstinately insisting that a resigna-
tion it was, is, and should be,—we should have ex-
pected that the Duke of WELLINGTON would

have acted quite otherwise ;—that he wdttld
clearly and candidly have declared his objections
to the politics .or -to the Parliamentary con-
duct of Mr.,HusKissoN and his friends, and
would have rested on this broad and intelligible
14sis that seParation, which it was perfectly un-
important whether it was called a dismissal on
one side or a resignation on the other.

We do not merely say, this would have been
sensible and soldier-like.--It would have been
just ;—just to both the parties concerned ; just
to their respective principles ; just to their res-
pective friends ; just to their common Sovereign;
just to their common country.
Our readers.well know that we have en many
occasions given to the eminent personage in
question the bumble tribute of our applause.
The offering may have been in itself worthless;
but it had at least the merit which belongs to
the oblations of a sincere heart. Our duty
however to the public is paramount to all indi-
vidual feeling. On the present occasion, we
must relinquish the laudatory functions which
we should gladly have exercised, to other minds
and other pens. " Let others hail."

Lord ELDON said at the Pitt Dinner that
the recent change in the Ministry had " re-
" stored col!fidence and hope to every friend of
" the Constitution." We rather collect from
what we hear, that the confidence and hope of
one conspicuous individual among the friends of
the Constitution alluded to by the Learned Earl
are not very likely to be justified by the event.
It is positively said that the Learned Earl him-
self is to form no part of the new Cisbinet.

The French Papers of Tuesday and Wed-
nesday have been received. Their contents are
by no means encouraging to the cause of the
SULTAN, whose people now begin to flag in their
enthusiasm as the day of danger approaches.
It is even said, that the number of the Turkish
army has been greatly exaggerated—and that the
disposable force about Constantinople does not
exceed 20,000. A few days will no
,doubt fur-
nish us with some important news from the East.

The Allgemeine Zeitung of tile 23d inst.•
contains a paragraph from Hermanstadt, stating
a division of Russian Cavalry had defeated a body
of Turks near Gallatz, but we apprehend this is
only another version of what we gave yesterday :-
11118,MANSTADT, MAY 11.

We have received the news that a Turkish light
caps had chew itself near Oallatz, but it was not known
whether it came from the other bank of the Danube, or
from Braila; that a division of Russian cavalry had de-
feated this corps after a short engagement, which had then
retreated across the Seret, towards Braila, where there is a
Turkish garrison. It is reported that Gallatz was burnt
down on this occasion, the Turks themselves having set
fire to Doe of the suburbs.

SWITZRRLAND, MAY 16..
A circular letter of the directing-Canton, Zurich, of the Sd
May, acquaints the Governments of the Cantons with the
subjects that are to be discussed in the Diet this year, which
is to open on Monday the 7th July, inviting them at the
same time to furnish their legations with the necessary in-
structions.

It is advised that the resolutions of 1822, relative to the
abuses of the press with respect to foreign countries, and
also to the police regulations for foreigners, shall be con-
tinued in force, and to these is added the proposal of a new
resolution 'F On the abuse of publicity in internal affairs."

TREVES, MAY 20.

The propensity to emigration still continuing in some
degree, the Government has been induced to publish the
statement given by a man of the name of Losch, who in-
tended to emigrate to Brazil with his wife and seven chil-
dren, and with this view sold the greater part of his pro-
perty. The warnings, however, given by the Govern-
Anent made him cautious, and he resolved to go first to
Bremen alone to learn from impartial persons whether
warnings published by the Government against emigration
to Brazil, or the accounts industriously circulated of the
great advantages to be gained by it, were founded on
truth. At Bremen he soon found that the favourable re—
ports were spread by rapacious speculators, who hoped to
make large gains by the passage money; that numbers of
families who had come to Bremen well provided with
money, had been detained there; they had spent all, and
were forced either to enlist for soldiers, or beg their way
home to Bavaria or Switzerland. He therefore resolved
to return home and support himself by his daily labour,
rather than expose himself to greater losses than belled
already suffered by listening to the advice of interested
persons.

The Echo du Midi gives. the following, under
date of the frontiers of Spain, May 19 We
this moment learn that the French Ambassador
has set off in great haste for Saragossa, to have
an interview with the KING. It is said that his
mission is of the highest political importance.

Extract of a letter from Belize, dated March
14, received at the North and South American Coffee-house.
via Jamaica :--" A vessel yesterday arrived front Izabal ;
One letter dated Guatemala, 18th February, confirms the
report that Colonel PERKS was compelled to resign the
command of the army ; that the President ARCE was
also forced to resign, and the Vice-President appointed in
his stead. No mention is made of PERKS or ARCE being in
prison. Commissioners to treat for peace have . been ap-
pointed on both sides, but itis not thought that those of St.
Salvador will appear at the meeting. The general opinion
is, that the troubles of that country are far from being at
an end. Little prospect of business.

It appears that on the 18th inst. the Scipion,
the Breslaw, and the Syrene, a frigate, left Toulon, to
reinfore Admiral Ittortv- The Circe frigate left Toulon
the evening before, for Alexandria. It was expected that
the remaining veskel, amounting to twenty-six, would im-
mediately sail.

REDUCTION OF RENT.--.-We understand
that at the memorable period of agricultural pressure, the
Rev, DENHAM J. J. CoosEs, lord of the manor of Bent-
ley and Astley, in this county, reduced the whole of his
rents 20/. per cent. and only 10/. (or one half) has been
resumed since that period.— Worcester Journal.
Sisterpathmill was truly a merry place in days
of yore ;" fur it is recorded that a convivial party, having
met in one of the bostleries precisely as the landlady was
setting a hen,—that is, placing it upon its eggs,—did not
rise to depart until the chickens were running about the
house ! Chambers' Scotland.
