POLITICAL INDIcAT ss.—The apparent cordialities be-
tween the Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord Castlereagh, Mr.
Canning, Lord Darnley, and others of his party, are indica-
tions in the political world not to be overlooked. From circum.
stances which have transpired within the last week, there are
evident approximations between the parties alluded to, which
lead us to concluie, from the avowed determination of Lord
Castlereagh and his immediate party, to concede every thing to
the Papists, and to abandon the old maritime and commercial
principles of the Country to the advocates of a Free Trade, and
the introduction of a more liberal System of Trade with Fo-
reigners, that there are differences in a high quarter, which the
want of energy and firmness in their present Chief cannot re-
concile or controul !

Last week the worthy Archdeacon- BOW ER, Vicar of

The brewers at Weymouth have enabled the landlords to re-
duce the beer one penny per pot; and a farther reduction is

lire have great"rcason to believe* that Some of the Cabinet

by Lord CASTLEREAGH and a certain Nobleman not very dis-.
tant from the Stewart family, on the subject of Catholic Email-
eipation.—(l'rom a Country Paper.)

PIiPIATE AND AUTHENTIC CORRESPONDENCE•

•
MAncur.l,s.7--A.„curions scene took.
place yesttrday on the, trial of GOYEt and SAN-
QUAIRE SCIULIGNY.. The Marquis de la. FAYETTI:
and M. BENJAMIN CONSTANT were called as
witnesses ; their correspondence with 6Citur
had been seized, and they Were interrogated as
to .their, contents. One would really think that
the French were as young in jurisprudence 'as
they 'are',- in legislation. The;President of the
Court _entered into a very ridiculous conversations
with M...LA.i FAYETTE, and gave him a lecture
on the nature. and tendency of his letters, on
which;.lie_hacl no right to descant. M. L.t..
FATETTg avowed having written them, and; said
be, if they. contain matter of accusation,- why
don't you punish vie ; but I have no need of a
lesson from you;: confine yourself to your duty;
.and' he so completely turned •the laugh. against
the President, that, the latter said in a passion,
Sir, it is improver to turn the President into ridi-;
cule. The Advocate General got him out of the
scrape, by asserting, that if the letters had been.
published, they would bare prosecuted
Now, with all deference to M. YATIMESNIL, we
apprehend the sending a letter by the -post
another person is a publication; we know that
Lord ELLENDOROUGH decided it to be such; and
his legal judgment is worth more than that of the
whole Bench of French Judges, who seen'', to
possess neither talents nor dignity. -Indeed)
the French Judges not. unfrequently enter into
conversation with criminals, and argue the point
with them, calling the very person they hope
to condemn to death, " Mon ami." An
tire reform, at least in the manners of the
Judges, is necessary ; for a Court to be respected,.
it must respect itself. As to thecase of GOTET and
his companion and fellow-prisoner, there can be
no doubt of their guilt, but the goverurrient takes
the worst means of proving it they merit,
richly merit, punishment, yet • it :Were almost an
injustice to punish them, as precisely the same
system is carried on, and has been so since 1813,
by the Ultras. When will the Government have
energy-enough to strike boldly at the root of
these abuses and criminal attempts ? It was the
occult Government that occasioned all the inas•
sacres of the South, and severed the perpetrators
from justice; it was that against which, M. Dr
CAzus struggled so long; and at last fell a victim
to it. It is that which will overthrow the pre-
sent Government; for whatever indulgence the
MinisterS may chew towards it on account of the,
primum mobile, its tenderness is regarded only
as weakness, and it longs for the moment to get
rid of what it calls the " mongrel Ministry," to
have nothing but the immaculate Ultras.
A pamphlet has just been published, which is
a direct attack on the charter ; it insists on the
right of the Emigrants to the restoration of na-
tional property, and suggests force to obtain it.
We are persuaded that the Government will,
seize it, and prosecute the author. If he escape
with impunity, it will be a shock to public con.
fidence, and a fatal one too.

PRUSSIA.

In the official Catette We find, under the heat!
of "Scientific Intelligence," the following re•
markable expression :
The 'English Constitution (says Count de
Vass, in the Preface to the very respectable work
on the Constitution of England, which, he has
translated from the French) has not been giVen
(octroyee), bat it has arisen—it has developed it-
self in a natural manner in the progress of time :
its manifold intertwined roots spread in all direc-
tions, and are so intimately woven with
the native soil, that neither external nor
internal storms, in ancient or modern times,
have been able to shake the . free aspiring.
stem. The little work in question shews in a
clear and convincing manner how this gradual
development has taken place, how little-has beers
done by -abstract speculation, how much 'by
chance, just feelings, and 'steady perseverance.—
Nurnerous as those are who repeat the general
praise of the English Constitution—there are few .
who are acquainted with the essence of'it; nay,.
they scarcely know that there is no such thine
as an English Const:tutionalist--that• no dead
theory ever furnished chapter and section for
it. The English Constitution has originated
in actual life, and consequently so peculiarly
national, that in it is displayed the highest per-
fection of the English national • character,-,--
The general longing for - Constitutions Which
in our times every where shows it softly, anil,
abounds in strength, and in writings, is a pleasing:
rather than an alarming phenomenon. But the
error which is at the same time widely spread is.
injurious-7-namely, that a Constitution is to, be.
attained by an intellectual process, and that ti,o
share of it belongs' to past times ; that there may.
be Normal Constitutions, which, with, at the
most, some local modifications, would make one
State happy as well as another. This error has
spread to such an extent, that most persons when
they have the Iford Constitution, think ofa written
document, which they: can lay open before them •
either in a splendid edition, or in a size fit for a
pocket. The longing for. Constitutions in itself
comprehends only the allowable wish, that what
time has changed in'the rOatjons of civil society,
and by the progress of li.now.ledge in all classes,
developed, may
,constituted into laws, and
those lawS,aS well,aS al.l. thefollowing ones which
may. thnS arise in a nattfrixl
.manner, may be re-
ceived py some "means, according as custom and •
the local circumstances of the country point oat,
and thus withdraw, from the influence of ar-
bitrary will, anif there is surely no ,Govern-
:pent which can have the intention to,leave this •
wish Unsatisfied, or belieite on the possibility .of
absolutely suppressing it, and the accompAishment •
of it might' perhaps.
.be more easy and simple-.
than it appears; its only respect foraneient
tutiocis is-continued With the modelling of also •
'new. Even There, where the I.principleS of qt.,.
unsparing progress have already'prevailed, and?_
have begun the work of destruction,.which is in 7
separable from them, there will be still so mere=
mains -tot* earlier institutions, which hts.yeioi yet
been swallowed up by a new systens;:of adrni-
nistration, and to which the changes, tie necessity •
Of' which is felt, may be successfully connected."
