LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 14, 1828

If the present year is to beolistinguished from

;he last, by a respite from political cabal, and
,he establishment of an Administration not alto-

gether ephemeral—h is clear that the nation
will not he indebted for such a blessing to the
efforts of our Cotemporaries, most of whom are
exerting themselves with the utmost assiduity to
perpetuate feuds, and prevent the growth of con-
fidence amongst the Members of the Ad-
ministration, and their consequent amalga-
Before a single step has been taken,
is evidently difficult to blame the mea-
sures of a Government ; but the course
adopted, is to call for tests of political -con-
sistency, and sadly wanting in the balance is he,
who cannot establish his claims to that cardinal
virtue, by " having immortalised hatred," -or by
a resolute adherence to the individuals, if not to
the principles, of his party.
It may seem idle, at this time ofday, to enter into
a definition of the terms Whig and Tory ; but
we much doubt whether any distinct signification
is attached to them by the generality of persons
who make the most frequent use of the expres-
sions. It is clear, however, that a perfect
Tory signifies an individual deeply imbued (as
he• ought to be) with reverence for kingly power,
but .unfortunateiy deficient in sympathy for his
fellow-subjects. He holds the Sovereign
to be the only source of power, and
considers the delegation of it as a boon to be ex-
ercised for the advancement of himself and his
family ; not as a sacred and responsible trust, in
which the recollections of self should be sunk as
far as human nature will permit. He seizes the
reins with avidity, and resigns them with ill-sup-
pressed reluctance, and whilst invested with his
brief authority, he regards those whom he has in
hand with as much consciousness of superiority
as the charioteer does the quadrupeds of his team.
Your thorough Whig, on the other hand, is
not a whit better, only that he substitutes a
haughty Aristocracy for the King, as the legiti-
mate source of all authority. He is just as fond
of a job, just as much mistaken in regarding
office as a possession, not a trust ; and to discuss
which of them is worst, would be as unavail-
ing as arguing whether Scylla or Charybdis was
the most dangerous vortex.

mation.

But, thank Heaven the breed of both
is likely to be soon extinct. They cannot
exist in the searching keenness of the present.
day, and though the antiquarian may delight
himself in the contemplation of some fine
specimens still to be seen, we cannot hold
out the same prospect to the virtuoso of
the next generation. For happily, a third
order of Statesmen has arisen, who in-
spired with a genuine, warm, and disilthested
loyalty to the illustrious head of our glorious
Constitution, and with sincere respect and esteem
for an Aristocracy, (with all their faults, un-
rivalled) still consider the middling and the lower
classes of society as the real source of power, the
base and the shaft of. that column of which
Nobility is but the beauteous capital.
The mighty genius whose hand uplifted the
banner of this order, is alas ! consigned to the
silent tomb, with the deep regret .of an admiring
world ; though it was not likely that he who in-
troduced so vast a change, as to make even na-
tions fleck to his standard, should have effected
it, without incurring whilst living the animosity
of time base, and even of many honourable
persons, who were conscientiously devoted to
'preconceived opinions. But we are con-
vinced that no long period will elapse ere
the antiquated distinctions of Whig and Tory
are lost in some new term, winch may perpetuate
the principles of Mr. CANNING's Administra-
tion. Would it not then be better, in
the - acknowledged political convulsion which
has taken place, to give np, as an "ignisfizturts,"
that spurious and nominal consistency, which
vote or sit as he pleases, no Whig or Tory can
maintain, and that each individual -member of

the Legislature should devote himself with real
consistency, to promoting tho true interests 01
this great;free and flourishing Empire.

We received the Paris Papers of Monday, and
the Gazelle de France dated Tuesday ; the
Moniteur contains a Royal Ordinance, appoint-
ing M. DE VATISMENIL Minister Secretary of
State for the Department of Public Instruction ;
this department was formerly a branch of that of
the Ministry of Ecclesiastical A fairs.

The accounts fro..n Warsaw, though speaking
of active preparations, confirm the opinion that
there will be no war, unless the PORTE provoke
it by conduct which does not, under present
circumstances, appear at all likely.
As the affairs of the East begin to lose their
feverish interest, the genius of discord awakes in
the West. Spain is the focus of dissatisfied
spirits, and the prey of unwise or ignorant Ceun-
cils. As the French troops depart, the strength
of the Constitutionalists becymes more manifest
when contrasted with the weakness of the regu-
lar troops, and the acknowledged pusillanimity
of FERDINAND'S Government, which is in the
greatest alarm for the reign of absolute power.
To repress the rising discontent, six new regi-
ments of 3,000 men each, are to be immediately
embodied. That Spain can never be happy
under the present system of misrule is clear, but
we should not be surprised it' FERDINAND
already half repents the departure of the French
troops, and countenances the concoction of fresh
plots, as a pretext for a portion of the French
army remaining a little longer in possession of
the strongest fortresses. The French themselves
will not like to give un Barcelona, far less Cadiz,
without a large recompense, and where can
FERDINAND find the money ?

SWITZERLAND, I'M 1.
Baron Ottenfels, Pruisian Envoy to the Swiss Confede-
ration, delivered on the 15th of January a new present
from his Sovereign to the Protestant church at Lucerne

His Majc-sty has given 300 crowns towards the purchase of
a burying• ground. The Protestant Cantons have con-
tributed 800 francs for the same object. Baron Rayneval,
the French Ambassador, has been summoned to Paris. It
is thought he will not return to his post is Switzerland,
but be employed in the Ministry at home.

FROM THE LOWER ELBE, JAN. 29.

The beneficial consequences of the free navigation
of the Elbe to the countries on its banks, become
more evident every year. Without this the con-
signments of Bohemian and Saxon manufactures to
the ports of America could not have become so consi-
derable as they now are, with every prospect of increasing.
The exportation of linens in particular from those countries
was very great last year, and piomi•es to be much more so
in the present one, because several Bohemian 'Louses have
united for the purpose of promoting this branch of com-
merce, and have established factories of their own in South
America. In order to give the merchants in, other parts
of Germany an opportunity of sharing in the advantages of
this trade, the above-mentioned houses have issued shares,
which, as we bear, have already been much sought after
in several commercial cities, particularly in the north of
Germany.

NUREMBURG, JEB. 4.

The following is given, on good authority, as the answer
of the Hanoverian Minister, Count Monster, to the dial-
lenge which his Highness the Duke of Brunswick heel sent
to the Count through his Conuselle of State, Baron Mun-
ehausen, with the proposal of the city of Dresden for the
place of meeting :
►" Since the middle of last month information had been
received here, through several channels, that his Highness
the reigning Duke of Brunswick had openly expressed his
intention of challenging me to fight a duel. The day
before yesterday, in the afternoon, M. Tattemson brought
me your letter of Nov. 5, in which this challenge is contained.
The offensive expressions which his Serene Highness has
found in the Refutation drawn up by me by the order of my
Sovereign, and signed by his Majesty, and which may have
induced him to this step, cannot be put in comparison, if
they are read without prejudice, with the insults which
are contained in the pamphlet published on the part of the
Duke of Brunswick, as well towards his Majesty as towards
myself. But if notwithstanding his Serene Highness wish-
ed to overlook the important considerations which result
from the whole dispute, and make it possible for ►ne to ac-
cept the proposed challenge, it would have been necessary
above all things to avoid the very extraordinary publicity
which has been given to the affair. This publicity inevitably
produced the result, that in consequence of a direct com-
munication from his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge
to the King, dated October 29, an express injunction from
his Majesty not to accept the challenge was given to me
a week before I received the challenge itself. Under these
circumstances, I can only regret that his Serene Highness
the Duke of Brunswick, should have been induced to take
a step which the King has looked upon as a fresh offence
towards himself. CHARLES, Count de Munster.

LEIPSIC, FEE.
Though the new year's fair was very unsatisfactory in
general, yet very large purchaSes of manufactures were,
made by merchants from Tiflis, sonic of whom are still
here. It is affirmed that they have brought 4,000 cwt.,
and perhaps more, of Swiss, English, and Saxon articles,
which are now being packed up for them. We bear that
these Asiatics will be here in still greater numbers at the
Easter fair, and.thh:ty ere mentioned who3e arrival is al-
ready announced.'

There is a curious document, drawn up in
1823 by the late Lord AsNavivros, in existence. It is an
abstract of a genealogical tree of the descendants of the
ill-fated 'MARI, Queen of Scots, from which it appears,
that at that period every crowned head in Eu-
rope was included in the number, except the King of
PORTUGAL (but his Queen, however, is there), and the
King of BAVARIA, and BERNADOTTE, the King of Sweden. The Times has just heard of another COURIER
