LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 21, 1828.

Having constantly and steadily supported the
principles of Mr. CANNING, it was witl► un-
feigned regret that we witnessed the disso-

lution of a Cabinet which comprehended
so many of his friends, and we were filled with
gloomy anticipations of the future, when it was
announced that a complete and radical charge of
men and measures was about to take place.
But luckily our fears have prove 4 visionary,
and we sincerely hope that a spirit of liberality
will continue to pervade the Councils of this
nation. If it be asked, oh what grounds these
expectations are formed, we would say that it is
on conviction of the utter impossibility of any
other principles being acted on in the present
age. The days of jobbing must be over for
ever, and we do believe that no men among
their political opponents are more free from
such a charge, than, the two most influen-
tial members of the Tory Party, we mean

the Duke Of WELLINGTON and Mr.
PEEL ;--and' in the character of Mr. HUSKIS-;
sON and his Friends we have a farther gua7
rantee, that no departure horn those principles
will take place whilst they continue in Ad-
ministration. Indeed, as to Free Trade, we
suspect that Mr. PEEL goes as far in his views
as even 'Mr. liusicissoN himself.

But whilst we profess our intention of sup-
porting the measures of the present Administra-
tion, on the grounds which we have shortly stated,
let not the Catholics for a moment suppose that we
shall ever desert their cause, or cease to advocate it
by every means in our power. Theirs is no
Cabinet Question, but it is a consolation to think
that they can still reckon half of the Cabinet as
their friends, and that half would be deficient in

:be sincerity and principle for which we give
:hem credit, if they permitted foul play or any

thing but the strictest impartiality towards a
.cause in which. are involved the deepest interests

of the Empire.

We cannot, however, conclude without ex-
pressing our unqualified contempt for the con-
duct of a Cotemporary, who, in announcing
the new Cabinet, has thought fit to vilify
Members of that Administration, to which but a
few days since it offered the most extravagant
adulation. But even the " Vicar of Bray" died at
length, and without pretending to the spirit of
prophecy, we perceive i❑ our Cotemporary every
symptom of approaching dissolution.

The French Papers of Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday are more important than usual. The
Moniteur of Thursday contains an article marked
by sound sense and manly feeling, being an
appeal to the French nation in favour- of. the
new Ministry. The tone of this article is at
once moderate and firm, relying upon the good
sense of the people for an impartial opinion
on the conduct of the Government,- who
wish to be judged by their acts rather
than their professtons. . But as professions
may serve as an index to their future acts, the
Government manfully avow themselves loyal
to the. KING and friendly to the Charter,
whose spirit they intend to enforce in all their
measures. , The very modesty of this appeal be-
speaks confidence in their favour. Men" who
intend to depart from the strict line of duty,
would be loud in their protestations of
ontt e
ex-
elusive loyalty and unrivalled- patriotism. But
to meet it
here the very reverse, we trust, is the fact. The
t eursst areenc opposition
they opposition
withhecoming fortitude. The Charteris their lead-
ing star—in its light they are determined to march
with a firm step--whicli will acknowledge no
tiViheiynims
power but legal power—which shall busy itself
with our institutions only for the common inte-
rest of the throne and the citizens,--which shall
seek salutary advice and repel nothing but dan-

rgerous principles and pretensions, unjust or ex-
aggerated,--such -it Ministry need not trouble
itself in making 'calculations to obtain a Parlia-
,
inentiry Majority. That majority will come to it.
It i in'this strain that the new Administration
will 'address itself to the honest men—to the
sincere friends of the KING and the Charter; and
so far as modesty and pretensions go, we think
—indeed, we hope—it will not appeal in vain.

On Thursday M. COUCHOIS LEMAIRE was
sentenced to fifteen months' imprisonment, and a
fine of 2,000 francs, for the libel on the tjUlce
Of ORLEANS. The publisher was sentenced to
three _mouths' imprisciment, and a fine of 500
francs.

It appears by instructions given to one of the
Dragomans of the Prussian Legation at Constan-
tinople, dated the 17th August, that the Court
of Prussia, though it was no party to the Conven-
tion of the 6th July, yet acted up to the true spirit
of that important document. Had Austria been
equally generous, we might even add just, the
question. of Greek Independence would have
been long ere this settled to the satisfaction of
all parties.

Extracts will be found in another column.

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 14th inst.
has been received. It tends to confirm the re-
ports of a new levy of recruits in Poland, and
other matters of a warlike nature ; but these may
be only precautionary measures. On the. 16th
Dec. the harbour of Odessa appears to have been
covered with ice :

AUGSBURGH, JAN. 13.
A Journal contains the following article from the Polish
rontiers, dated Jan. 2 :

" A new levy of recruits throughout the whole kingdom
has been ordered, in conformity with the Constitution, for
the purpose of augmenting the reserve battalions and squa-I
drons to their full complement. The frontier fortress of
Zamorze, which, after the enlargement and completion of
its works, may be compared with Mantua, is being sup-'
plied with all necessary stores. Large magazines are form-
ing, whence the prices of corn continued to rise in conse-
quence of the purchases made both by Government and
speculators. Lastly, numbers of horses are purchased at
high prices."

VIENNA, JAN. 9,
M. de Degrange, first interpreter of the French Lega-
tion at Constantinople, has arrived here ; he left that city
on the 14th December, and travelled by the way of Bu-
charest, and was every where treated on his journey with
the greatest respect.

CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 16.
' (ay WAY OP BUCHAREST.)
News having been received from Odessa, that the har-
bour was covered with floating ice, and that a ship had
even been lost in consequence, M. Ribeaupierre, tired of
long delay, resolved to go to the Sea of Alarmora; after his
two colleagues, who intended to stop a fortnight at Vourla,
and carried his purpose into effect without any obstacle.
_ _

M. Franchini, his chief interpreter, and the persons at-
tached to the Legation, wait for a favourable wind to go to
Odessa.

After M. Ribeaupierre's departure, M. Franchini caused
the Russian► Arms to be taken down from the hotels in
Pera and Bujukdere, which appeared the more extraordi-
nary, as the English and French Ambassadors had left the
Arms at their Hotels. The most complete tranquillity
prevails here, notwithstanding the great armaments, which
however, seem to be in some degree paralysed by the pacific
party of the great men of the empire and iu the Divan.

The Sultan himself exerts all his efforts to conimunieate
to every body his own energy.

The following extracts, from the Nuremberg
Correspondent of the 17th inst., are of a corn-

mercial nature :

UREMBURG, JAW. 12.
We received the following commercial intelligence from
Rhenish Prussia. According to an authentic list of the
goods which passed Cologne up and down in the course.
•f last year to the end of November, the total amounts
to above a million cwt. During that time there were
brought from Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Dort, and Antwerp,
500,737 cwt. ; and from the Upper Rhine, the Maine,
the Neckar, Moselle, and the Lahn, 558,658 cwt. Tak-
ing the goods brought up the rivers as imports for the con-
sumption of Germany, and those coming down as exports,
there is an excess of 58,000 cwt. in favour of the latter.
With respect to the value, the balance would probably not
be so favourable. For among the imports there ars

168,784 cwts., of sugar, including 4,796 cwt. raw sugars.
Coffee was 103,634 cwt. ; then tobacco 45,743 cwt. ;
cotton-19,397 cwt. ; spices are the smallest amount, viz.
73 cwt.

Among the exports, corn and wine are the most
im-
portant articles, viz. rye 118,536 cwt. ; barley 68,356 ;
wheat 42,257 ; and wine 170,131 cwt. ; glass and glass
goods 16,730 cwt. ; iron goods only '775 cwt. ; and ma-
nufactures of cotton, &c. 1,083 cwt. The exports of
wool by this channel were 6,361 cwt. ; and of oil 979 cwt.
If we consider Cologne as the chief staple for the Ger-
man import and export trade by the Rhine, this view of
the result, in the course of last year, may be considered as
important in a political and commercial view.

Lisbon Papers to the 13th inst. have been re-
ceived, but they do not contain one paragraph
worth extracting.

American Papers to a late date have been re-
ceived, but their contents possess no interest in
a political point of view. A Bill is said to have
pcaasrsoelcilnate
,hby Housaveoteof
oAss f
71einbly of South
against
42,
prohibiting the instruction of persons of
colour in reading and writing. If this be really
so, we must lament the little progress which
learning has made among the members of the
Assembly,—certainly it has taught them no
charity.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, on coming down
to Lincoln's Inn Hall, this morning, sent to the
VicE-CHANCELLOR, who immediately pro-
ceeded to his. Lordship's private room. After a
conference, which lasted nearly an hour, his
HONOUR again
returned to his Court- The
LORD CHANCELLOR was shortly afterwards
waited onT
by uANES SCARLETT, who also
had along conference with his Lordship.

. Sir JAMES SCARLETT was dressed in his
robes, and it was stated that the object of his
visit was, to tender his resignation of the office of
Attorney-Gel

Yesterday se'nnight a man, who was digging
in a field at CaVersham, near Reading, discovered a pair of
plated candlesticks, two' silver tea-spoons, and a -cheese,
knife, part of the property stolen from the house of Mrs.
RICHARDS, of Rose hill, on the 21st of September last.
Hants Chronicle,

O►i Saturday morning last, the London Mail
coach was overturned between Brough And Appleby, in
consequence of the state of the wads from the recent fall of
snow. The mail was more than two hours after time;
but a considerable pait
,of the delay had been previously
incurred in consequence of the weather,. Carlisle Joyrnal.
