LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 25, 1828.

We understand that the Right Honourable
THOMAS WALLACE iS to be raised to the
Peerage, by the title of Baron WALLACE, of
Knaresdale, in the county of Northumberland.

It is said that Lord G. G RANVILLE SOMER-
SET is to be one of the Lords of the Treasury,
in the room of the KNIGHT of KERRY.

The opening of Parliament will probably be
distinguished by violence of declamation against
the New Administration on the part of the
Ultra Tories as well as of the Ultra Whigs, for
moderate men and moderate measures will ever
be scouted by those to whom the triumph of
party is of more importance than the safety of
the State. Whilst Lord Er.DoN will reprobate
a Ministry tainted with liberality—the pure
Whi.y will condemn wholesale a Government
containing three more Tories than they admitted
into the last, and all this without the possibility
of knowing what line will be taken, and what
measures proposed by the New Administration.
But nothing leads its to augur more favourably
of the New Government than the exclusion from
office of the Noble Earl to whom we have al-
luded—the late Lord Chancellor, ELDON. Feel-
ing great respect for the private character of that

venerable Nobleman, and yielding to none in our
admiration of his stupendous professional talents,
we still think it matter of high congratulation to
the Country that he either has not been offered,
or hag not accepted place on the present occa-
sion. The Ditke of WELLINGToN has been
so much occupied with battles and sieges, and
the command of Armies, that he has • scarcely
had time to consider many questions of
internal policy, and Mr. PEEL is liberal
on every subject but one, so that the fact of
their having associated themselves with Mr.
HuslassoN, and his party, may i;f3 fairly
construed into a pledge that their minds
are open to conviction even on the Catholic
question. And though there is little probabi-
lity of the - coming round, we trust that a strict
neutrality on the abject will distinguish this Ad.
ministration ; it being equally blameable in one
party to employ patronage in backing their
opinions, as it would be in the other half of the
Executive to endeavour to force Emancipation
on the people of England, till prejudice and
bigotry have died away (as they certainly will),
when no longei fed by the public money.

But in the case of Lora JF,,Loos, it would be
insanity to expect or even to hope for change.
His mind has, for half a century, arrayed every
faculty it possesses against the spirit of im-
provement—and Catholic Emancipation, im-
provement in the Courts of Equity or of Law,
Free Trade, and the manumission of Slaves have
alike encountered his determined opposition.
Having witnessed the ravage of Revolutionary
principles towards the close of the iaist century, he
still hears the howling of the storm, nor call be
credit the testimony of his own senses, that the po-
litical horizon is more bright, aaf.l the atmosphere
more serene, than if that hurricane had never
swept the earth. Flattered by the applause of
creatures whose deficiency of intellect scarcely
authorises the naturalist to class them with
his Lordship in the scale of creation, and deserted
even by his former Colleagues, the Noble
Earl will now regard himself as a martyr
to that species of political consistency, which
haughtily,
but vainly refuses to accommodate it-
self to the changing scenes of this varying 1
and
eventful world.

The Moniteur of Tuesday, and the Gazette
de Ranee dated Wednesday, have been re-
ceived. The former contains an official docu-
ment, being a report to the KING, reconitnend-
ing the appointment of a Commission to inquire
into the state of the Ecclesiastical Schools
throughout the Kingdom, in order that they
may harmonize with the Political Legislation and
the maxims of the Public Law of France. Count
PoRTAL Is has 'obtained his MAJESTY'S, ap-

proval of this Commission, which is expected to
execute its task with strict integrity. If it do
so, the Jesuits will have good. reason to lament
the dissolution of the last Cabinet, under whose
fostering care their influence took deep root in
almost every institution in the Kingdom. The
Jesuits are confessedly the most subtle, ambi-
tious, and persevering sect that ever existed.
With them the spread of pernicious principle,
the love of dominion, and the uniform abuse df
power, have been synonimous terms. Grasping
at exclusive privileges, they had at last provoked the
suppression of their order in almost every coun-
try in Europe, from their excessive intolerance
and insidious policy. Their reign began with
the cradle and left not their victim when the
grave closed over his earthly remains, but pursued
his spirit into a world of their own creation
always exacting from friendship, as a last memo-
rial, that tribute which poverty perhaps denied
the dying penitent. Like harpies they hovered
over the bed of sickness, waiting, if not precipi-
tating, the dissolution of their victim, that the
Church might benefit by the dying bequest of
the alarmed, but confiding, sinner. But the
day of their glory has gone down—the mockery
of superstitious faith—the blind belief in their
eternal doctrines—has been shaken—almost de-
stroyed by the palpable fact of their own
fallibility. That power which they arrogated
beyond the grave has failed them in their
late struggles for temporal existence. The
illusion which charmed so long has at length
been dissipated by the light of knowledge pene-
trating into, and exposing the dark recesses of,
their mystical hypocrisy and artful superstition.
Deprived of authority, they had almost been
banished from society, till the late return of con-
genial spirits to power recalled and priiately
countenanced the revival of that secret influence
which aims at the mastery and direction of mind
throughout the varied duties of life, till the de-
parting spirit rely on its protection in another
world. The Jesuits know that as the seed is
sown will the harvest grow, till ripe for the
sickle,—and the education of youth is therefore
the field upon which they can best, because most
effectually, display their talent. For this reason
they exert their utmost abilities to procure the
superintendance of public and private instruction--
and their motive is the more urgent, because
their purpose is selfish. But they have over-
stepped the bounds of prudence in their eager-
ness to prevail : the excess of their devotion has
insured their ruin. Not content with the unex-
pected progress they had lately made in the en-
lightened mind of France, they lost sight of their
uniform caution in the momentary joy of their
success, grasping at unlimited dominion. But
they have happily missed their aim. The insti-
tution of the present Commission is a deaib-
blow to their hopes.- They may still, ha‘tever,
receive the private condolence of royalty, but it
will be of bale avail, provided the stream of
public opinion is set fairly against them. Let
the French people look to themselves, and the
liberty of conscience will be as secure as the in-
dependence of the Charter. If they neglect their
duty they must expect the consequence.

(From the Monitcur of Jan. 22.—Official )
" REPORT TO THE KING.

" Sire,---The necessity of ensuring in all the secondary
ecclesiastical schools the execution of the laws of the
kingdom, is generally acknowledged ; the measures which
that necessity commands shall be complete and efficacious.
Tlo should harmonize with our political legislation and
the maxims of the public law of France. They are con-
nected, at the same time, with the sacred rights of religion,
with those of tie throne, with the paternal and domestic
authority and the religious liberty guaranteed by the Chartar ;
they cannot be prepared with too much maturity, since
they are not foreign to any of the principal interests of the
country. That they may be so prepared, with full and
entire knowledge of the subject, your Ministers, Sire, have
thought that it was useful and fitting that the state
of the facts should be ascertained,—that they should be
compared with the laws,f and that the regulations ac-
knowledged to be indispensable for the maintenance of the
legal regime should be submitted to a previous and thorough
examination, before they arc submitted to your council for
discussion, and to your Majesty for approbation : they have
thought that this important mission should naturally be
confided to men,- more particularly pointed out to your
Majesty's choice by their rank, their situation, and their
knowledge.

" If tiiis measure should be approved by the King, I
shall have the honour to propose to your Majesty the for-
mation of a commission of nine members, composed as fol-

lows :
" The Archbishop of Paris, peer of France.
" Viscount Laine, peer of France, Minister of State.
" Baron Seguier, peer of France, First President of the
Royal Court of Paris.
" Baron Mounier, peer of France.
" Count Alexis de Nonilles, Minister of State, Member
of the Chamber of Deputies.
a The Bishop of Beauvais. -
" Count de la Bourdonnaye, Member of the Chamber
of Deputies.
" M. Dupin, sen. Member of the Chamber of Deputies.
M. de Courville, Member of the Council of the Uni..
versity of France.
" I am, with profound respect, Sire, your Majesty's most
humble and most obedient servant and faithful subject, the
Peer of France, Keeper of the Seals, Secretary of State for
the Department of Justice,
" Approved Jan. 20,

" By the King,

" Count PORTALIS.

VIENNA, JAN. 12.--The news of the change of Minis-
try in France arrived here yesterday evening. As we bad
been prepared for it for some days, it did not excite much
surprise. The funds rose a little this morning, but have
declined this evening to their former price. Metalliques,
Sn. Bank Shares, 1,030.
It is reported that the Government intends to contract a
loan for the purpose of withdrawing the greater part of the
paper currency in circulation in the monarchy.

Frankfort Papers and the Allgenzeine Zeitung
of the 18th inst. have been received this morning.
Affairs at Constantinople continued in much

the same state as when the Ambassadors loft.
The PonTE is indefatigable in making prepara-

Lions for defence, and the. SULTAN appears
somewhat puzzled how to act—that is, how
to yield with the best grace. There is some
talk about a powerful guarantee for the duration

of the state of things whiel may be produced by
concession ; but who can guarantee the duration
of any thing in a country where anarchy is—order
If the SULTAN wish to perpetuate his own dynasty
he must first bring the refractory disposition of his
subjects to a due sense of obedience, and the
benefits resulting from a civiliied life. The
diffusion of knowledge is the only true way of
improving the people : the more men become
enlightened they become the more vi: tuous, and
respect in others that quality which they cultivat'e
in themselves :

BUCHAREST, DEC. Si.
Since the departure of the three Ambassadors from Con-
stantinople things continue in the same state. The Porte
is preparing to make the most obstinate resistance, and no
means are left untried to revive the spirit of the Mussul-
men, which has been much depressed since the late r -
forms. Meantime, well-informed persons still entertain
great hopes of an amicable arrangement, and they are the
more confirmed in this opinion as the Austrian Internuncio,
whose health, indeed, is still very indifferent, neglects rm-
thing to induce the Porte to yield, and to make it sensible
of the dangers to which it would be inevitably exposed by
a breach with the three Powers. At the same time, the
answer to the Grand Vizir will powerfully support the
exertions of the Internuncio, and the Sultan may, perhaps,
be convinced by it that the question is taken np very se-
riously in all quarters, and that the preservation of peace
depends only upon him. How far it may be allowed him,
in the present moment, to change the policy hitherto ob-
served, and thereby to see himself protected against near or
remote danger, can hardly be judged of at Constantinople,
At least, a wish appears to prevail there for a powerful
guarantee for the duration of the state of things which may
be produced by concession. Whether the other Powers
will find it proper to give such a guarantee, may, if the
case should occur, become a different question,
The Ambassador of the Netherlands, to whom, on the
departure of the Ambassadors, their archives were ea-
trusted, bad also the jurisdiction over the subjects of the
three Powers assigned to him, The Porte, however, ha',
not allowed him the formal protection of them. Within
these three days, several English travellers and Polish
Noblemen have passed through this town, coming from
Constantinople,

BNtYENA, DEC. 10.
The French and English Ambassadors, after a few days'
stay at Vourla, have proceeded on their voyage. Tran-
quillity prevails here; but the Consuls of the three Powers
are making preparations to depart.

TRIESTE, JAN. 12.

The Osservatore Triestino of to-day confirms, on the
the
authority of accounts from Corfu, of the 4th Jan., the ar-
rival of Mr. Stratford Canning at that place. It also states
that two Greek brigs of war, which had put into Corfu,
had been obliged, by an order of the Government, to leave
the port.

STUTGARD, JAR. 16.

Several important legislative measures not having been
completed in the last Session of the States of the Kingdom,
his Majesty was induced to convoke an extraordinary as-,
sembly of the States, which was opened yesterday, by his
Majesty in person, with a speech in which he developed
briefly the measures which it was intended to lay before
them, and expressed his confidence that this fourth Session
of the States would, like' the preceding, afford new proofs
of the strict union between the Sovereign and his faithful
subjects.

ST. rETERSBURGII, JAN. 1.

Two Circassian Princes had an audience of the Emperor
on the 29th December. They offered to his Majesty to
raise, and place at his disposal, a volunteer regiment of
light cavalry, which should be clothed and maintained at
its owe expence. Tlaey brought with them various uni-
forms, for the Emperor to .choose that of the regiment._
The Emperor decided that the officers, as well as the sot.
diers, should wear a steel helmet, a coat of mail, ball-proof,
coming down to the middle of the thigh ; over that a short
blue habit, richly embroiJered, long white pantaloons, and
long gloves of buffalo hide. The hand is covered with
steel rings interlaced, and the upper part which goes above
the elbow with steel plates, highly polished. Their arms
are a long sabre, a dagger three-quarters of a yard long, a
pistol of the same length, a steel bow and a quiver of
arrows. These warriors gave considerable proof of their
skill in the use of these weapons. The Envoys received
rich presents from the Emperor, who, on dismissing them,
assUred them of his special favour.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TWELFR C.l.orr.

The transactions in the British Funds this morning have
not been characterised by any business of the least import-
ance, and the market seems of a dwindling description.
Consols opened at 851 for account, dropped to 85!- sellers,
reached 8.51 again, and are now 254 -1. India Bonds are
91 3 ; Exchequer Bills, 60 1 pm. ; the Commissioners do
not buy till Thursday next.
The Foreign Funds are in a state of quiet, with the ex-
ception of Mexican, on . which considerable uneasiness still
continues, and the next packet from that quarter, it is
hoped by many and expected by some, will bring a more
satisfactory account than the one received yesterday by way
of America; she was expected to sail about the 10th of De-
cember, and may be therefore hourly expected ; the Bonds
are 144 5. Colombian have suffered from the above depres-
sion, and are 23 4 ; Buenos Ayres Bonds are a trifle lower,
being 41 2 ; Russian, 93?; 4 ; and Danish, 61 -.lr.
There is little to communicate relative to shares ; Colom-
bian are 24 5 per share ; Anglo Mexican, 571 5 dis. ;
Brazilian, 69 71 pm. ; and United Mexican, without the
most trivial variation, 21 20 dis.

The only arrival this morning is from Lima of the 31st
Aug., we do not learn any news from this quarter.
