GO URGAUT).

Ma.Enrroa,—For some time -past I 'have been
yecustomed to read, with much attention, many
-articles 'in The Morning Chronicle, which ani-
madvert on the application of the Alien 'Bill in
the case of the French Colonel GOURGAUD ffor
he is !nrt a General of the hundred days.)—
In the at-ticks alluded to, that Journal .display.;
its erudition to a 'Very bad pnrpose-, aid with
manifest design, by openly deckling itself the
Cban.pion of the BiIoNAPARTI on. In thus sup-
porting the cause of the Tyrant who aimed at
the destruction of Great Britain, The Chron.icte

lreftrS ambitious of the cbaTacter of a parricide, in
declaring itself an enemy to its own country ; and
that Journal, in becoming the register of all
the complaints and lamentations of a faction,
whose -crimes have filled Europe from end to
end with misery and misfortune, cannot but
lessen its credit. With what confidence must
not The Chronicle appear clad in declaring it-
self the advocate of liberty and liberal ideas,
and at the same time daily undertaking the de-
fence of a despotic Tyrant, whose plans have
been divested of their mischievous tendency only
in constvience.of his being placed under a watch-
ful gnard. Such Pupils and Agents of BUONA.
PARTE have happily their plans paralysed by the
vigilance of the British Government, but still
bold their purposes, by having the columns of The
Morning Chronicle opened to their communications,
whether directed from Pat-is, from London, from
the Strand, Leicester-square, or from la Chaussee
d'.lutin.

The Chronicle, previously to its undertaking
the defence of Colonel GOURGAUD in such a

warm and intemperate manner, should have
candidly avowed its knowledge of the secret
motives which influenced the determination of
Government in acting as it has done with respect
to Colonel GOURGAUD ; for, having a knowledge
of those motives, it became an imperative duty
on the part of the Paper to remain silent, as
Government acts for the welfare of the Corn-

triunity, and in doing so, it would be enti-
tled to respect for having faithfully discharged
its duty by not exposing the sect et: On the
other hand, were The Chronicle ignorant of .the
matter, which is probable, so far as regards the
reasons which made the terms of the Alien Bill
apply peremptorily GOURGAUDI silence be-
came a still stronger duty, as things unknown are
not to be defined. To censure any proceeding with-
out knowing the cause of action, naturally draws
down on the efforts of the Speculator, who would
venture to deveiop those causes, either ridicule or
discredit, or brands the attempt with presump-
tion or stupidity ; but there are other argu-
ments which would inform The Chronicle why it
. ought to observe a respectful and prudent silence
in this ;Affair.
The absolute want of information betrayed by
7'he Chronicle on thiS subject, is evident by its
becoming the voluntary advocate, the quixotic de-
fender of NarocsoN BUONAPARTE, in taking
under its sage protection the concerns of COL
GOURGAUD, of thil ardent follower and private
eonfidant of that Exile. Instead of blaming Mi-
nisters' for having made use of those powers which
ra British Parliament has placed at their disposal,
for the preservation of the safety and tranquillity
of the Empire, the staunch Briton knows that the
wooden walls of Old England are ample security
against foreign injury ; but it would be curious to
inquire how The Morning Chronicle would point
cut the means of guarding against internal dangers
and intrigues, when such Foreigners are sheltering
themselves here under the national hospitality,
eying been expelled from their native places, and
rho systematically organize disturbance, dis-
order, intrigues, against a Government which
bolds forth the peaceful olive to surrounding

atious.

The avowed organ of a faction known as despo-
tic, crud, vindictive, the natural enemy of Eag-
Jand, who conquered, crushed, and humbled that
very faction, the enlightened Morning Chronicle
may maintain its character, such as it is, of
defective' information ; let it still, however,
yetnain the echo, the avenger of those who
fled from Waterloo ; but such conduct will de-
ceive no person, not a single fact will come forth
established from that press, save one—that The
Chronicle is in no respect the friend of its country.
The Alien Act is, however, only provisional in
its operation, and notwithstanding the represen-
tations of The Chronicle, is truly the padladium
of the tranquillity and prosperity of Great fiti-
tain, a talisman in the hands of the Ministry, tin-
willing, however, to exercise its power in bring-
ing down alarm. and confusion upon the revolu-
tionary spirits, whatever their badges or their
country, who would eudeavour to make- the

T3rltill, Capital The theatre of -their dark .desigM
and dangerous intrigues. This Alien Bill terrines
all Revolutionists, Jacobins, and Buonapartists,
who, blinded by the desire •of veageance for past
defeats and 'disgraces, have mistaken their,reveries
for realities, and have indulged in the insolent
hope cif making these peaceful and industrious
homes, the scene of interminable confusion and
disorder.

If The Morning Chronicle finds reason 'to com-
plain that the Alien Bill has been enforced
against Mr. Gouttoato, the intimate and confi-
dential friend of BUONAPARTe, who also is one
of the vanquished Heroes of Waterloo, your Con-
stant Reader, who is well acquainted with the pro-
jects of the Bunnapartist Faction) will maintain
that if the Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment has commuted any error in his ditty it is only
because he has not applied the same efficacious
measure to Messrs. C--, M--, D--, J--,
D--, L-, and G--, and charac-
ters of the same description, c-.-ho remain in this
country solely with a view of retaliating for the
downfall of their Hydra, by the prowess of the
British Arms. Here 1 beg leave to quit The Morning
Chronicle in its hopeful exertions in behalf of a
cause, to overturn which England has expended
the treasures and the blood of her generous and
gallant' sons. The only benefit arising from such
a policy as that pursued by The Morning Ch'ro•
nicle, will be to its shame, defeat, anti disap•
pointmcnt.

LONDON JOURNALS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT,

[iVlorning, Chronicle.]

The public have for some time past been kept
in a stote of the greatest uncertainty with regard
to the French Ministry. One day the divi-
sions among them, we are told, were such,
that every thing like a reconciliation was im-
possible; and then, close upon the heels of this
news, would come an account of the satisfactory
adjustment of all their differences. However,
all uncertainty on the subject is now removed.
The whole of the Ministry, with the exception
of the Duke de Richelieu, have given in their re-
signations, which have been accepted.

[Morning Post.]

There was no arrival of Paris Papers yesterday;
but private letters inform us, that an almost total
change has taken place in the French Ministry,
the Dac de Richelieu being the only Ment!•er of
the late Cabinet retained in his Majesty's Conn-
eds. The immediate cause of this event is not yet
accurately known, but the Election and Recruit-
,ing Laws are supposed to have formed the princi-
pal grounds of difference. The reports are various
respecting the constitution of the --new Cabinet ;
and so little was known upon tile subject, that
even the resignation of the Duc de Richelieu, in
favour of Prince Talleyrand, appears to have
been speculated upon a few hours before the de-
parture of these ndvices. The next arrival will
probably furnish us with souse
_data upon which
to reason in. this respect ; till then it would be
only trifling with our Readers to dwell any fur-
ther upon the subject.

[The Times.)

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

PARIS, Dec. 26.—At last the divisions I,n the
Ministry have led to,a general rtiptine. On Thurs-
day all the Ministers gave in their resignations,
and the King accepted of them all, ►with the ex-
ception of that of the Duke of Richelieu, who im-
mediately formed a new Ministry, composed as
follows :—M. Cuvier (the great n ituralist who
was lately in England), the new Minister of the
Interior; M. Mollien (formerly Minister of the
Treasury during the reign of Buonapare, a place
which he occupied even during the hundred days),
Minister of Finance ; M. Simeon (Member of the
Chamber of Deputies, who had been Counsellor of
State under Buonaparte, and Minister of Justice
in the kingdom of Westphalia), Minister of Jus-
tice ; M. de Villele (Member of the Chamber of
Deputies), Minister of Marine ; and Count Law
de Latiriston (Peer of France, Aid-de-camp of
Bunnaparte, and his Ambassador at the Court of
Petersburg!) during the years 1811 and 1812),
Minister of War.

According tothis'new arrangement, the Minis-
try of Police was to hare been suppressed. Yes-
terday, by 5 o'clock in the afternoon, all these
Gentlemen had declined the places tendered them,
with the exception of M. Cuvier. MM. Mollien
and Simeon refused office, from a fear that/ they
might be required to give their sanction to mea-
sures which they regard as anti-national ; and
MM. de Villele and Lauriston (two Ultras) de-
clined to act, unless it pledge were given by their
Colleagues, that they would support such modi•
fications of the Laws of Election and Recruit-
ing as would render them more monarchical. It
was easy to foresee, that a Ministry composed of
such heterogeneous and discordant elements could
not go on a single day ; and it is generally be-
lieved, that in the present state of affairs the
Duke of Richelieu will not be able to form a Mi-
nistry which will act in concert or last for three
months.

In the Chamber of Peers M. de Cazes has al-
ready been in a minority. Joined by a party of
24 other Members, he opposed the draught of the
Address, which, notwithstanding his opposition,
was presented to his Majesty without amend-
ment. Nobody can calculate the result of this
crisis in the Administration. It appears certain
that the Chamber of Deputies wilt to-day refuse

THE SUN.

iI•LY)[ QUIS DICERS FALSUM AUDEAT ?

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1818.

The Pails Yelpers of Sunday last, which were
due this morning, have not arrived.

We yesterday stated, upon good authority, that
nearly a total change in the French Ministry had
suddenly taken place, with hardly an exception.
Atter our Paper was put to press we learned that
the only exception was the Duke of RICHELIEU.
We have taken from the Morning Papers of this
day, those articles which fully confirm our infor-
mation of yesterday, with other particulars which
reached us too late to be then communicated to
our Readers.—We are still at a loss to conjec-
ture the grounds and motives which have pro-
duced this extraordinary revolution in the French
Cabinet, but we have little doubt that it will lead,
as we have often predicted, to Revolutions of a
more formidable and terrific descriptirin.—This
event may be considered as a justification, in a
great degree, of the arguments which we have
repeatedly 'urged, in order to prove the impolicy
of removing the Allied Armies' from France, be-
fore the Government of that Country could be
established upon such principles as might give it

full security in the eonriticnce of the peopli at
large, so that Faction should in vain attempt to
weaken the authority •of lhe Throne. The late
French Ministry had certainly snewn great, weak'
•ness in advising the KING to permit die 4rettui of
those who had. been in§trumentar in mating er
supporting the dire Revolution which had die'
turbed the peace of Europe, shaken it to its centre'
overthrown the legitimate Possessors of several
Thrones, and placed upon them the detestable re'
tat ions of an execrable Usurper. Not only there'
„tore ought those who voluntarily assisted in pre'
ducing, but in supporting that dreadful convolsioo
of Society on the Continent, but all who were 01
minions of the Usurper, promoting his vie"
and propping his authority, should never hare
been permitted to return into Fiauce. It won't'
have been absurd to expect that such wretche
could be cured of their errors. It might be
naturally supposed that they would by all possible
means attempt to regain situations of profit and
power.—We are therefore confirmed in opiniom
that the A!lied Vowels too haslily determined to
withdraw their troops, and we are fully convinced
that none of the Continental Potentates should yei
reduce their military strength, but keep it for some
time upon a footing calculated to enable them to be
prepared for events, and to defend themselves anti
each other .in case the Jacobiuical spirit which
is so prevalent in France, and which communicat-
ed its contagion in some degree to every people
in Europe, shall be kept under by ,the good
:rose and loyalty of the majority in that
and every other Stt;te. But as we have
not at present full information as to the
secret springs whica have produced the ex'
tinction of a Ministry that appeared to posses'
the confidence 'of the French Monarch, we shall
suspend our observations, concluding with repeat-
ing our entire conviction, that this is the first
fruits of that too hasty removal of those Annie,
which defended France herself from the evil of
domestic factions, and constituted the safeguard
and protection of all Europe.

We i►ave received other accounts this day front
an authentic and Most respectable source, confirm..
ing the statement, that the Duke de R►cHei.ieu
the only Member of the late Ministry who remains
in power, and that he had been commissioned -by
the Kisg of Trance to proceed immediately to the;
formation of a new Cabinet.

Boston Papers to the 7th instant arrived thi4

morning :

(From the 13ortni. Paper of the sth.)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-1 learn with plea•
sure, that the reduction of the present standing
Army, which many consider, in its present estete
blishment, to be worse than useless, is content..
plated ; indeed it is. loudly called for by the
sombre statements of 111 r. Secretary CaAwroan,
By his report it will be seen, that the estimate"
for the military department next year only, will
exceed the enormous sum of eight millions and,.
half of dollars ; vastly more than double the
whole naval expence, including the annual mil-
lion for the gradual increase of the navy. The
intention, it is said, is to retain only one Major-
General (BROWN) and two Brigadiers ; but as the
troops will he stationed in small bodies in remote
garrisons, it may he found expedient to dispense
with even these two, and make the Colonels re-
port direct with the Major-General at Washing-
ton. It is hoped by all friends to economy, that
a gieat part of the present General and Medical
Staff will be abolished ; they now consist of more
than 120 Offices, most of which are mere sine-
cures : indeed those Staffs have been pronounced
more than sufficient' for an army of 40,000 mew
in the field. •

We still have hope that something will be done
on the subject of the Bankrupt Law. The Bank.
bubbles excite much attention and much quaking
here, and I tear it is but the commencement of
the most distressing embarrassments.

(From the same Paper of the Ist.)
MOUILI!, OCT. 30.—8 y letters from Havannais
of the 6th inst. we learn, that on the day before
advises from the Court of Spain were received
there through Don Urals, that the affairs of the
Floridas are settled for the present, and Pensacola
is to be restored positively to Spain. In conse-
quence of which a new Governor, Don MARIANO
CALONJA, is appointed, and will sail immediately

with 200 men Au garrison the place. The persons
who have speculated in real estates in and about
Pensacola, we are fearful, will be much injured,--r
If we are not mistaken, no person under the ge-
neral law of Spain can legally hold a freehold
unless he in some manner becomes a Spanish
Subject. •

The Spanish Captain GARCJA, captured on the
Coast of Africa by a British sloop of war, was
executed for piracy at Fort Royal, on the 7th
Sept. Previous to his execution he made several
r►nsucces3ful attempts to destroy himself with a
Mass bottle, and to jump into the sea. 'He was
a man of family and of considerable wealth.

CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 30.—1 n consequence
of the advance in the price of Flour of ss. per
tack, at the close of Mond,iy's Market, there was
an increased demand for Fine Wheat this morn-
ing, which sold at 2s. per quarter higher. Fine
English Barley fully supports Monday's prices,
although we had an additional supply from Suf-
folk and Norfolk. Oats were rather more en-
quired after, and sold full as high as on Monday.
In Pease and Beans there is no alteration.

The term of the General Mourning expired
yesterday.—A change of Court Mourning takes
place on :Sunday next, viz.:-

".The Ladies to wear black silk, fringed or plain linen or
muslin, white gloves, black and white shoes, fans, and tippets,
white necklaces and ear-rings, no diamonds.
" Undress—White or grey lnstrings, tabbies, or daniasks.
" The Gentlemen to wear black, full trimmed, plain er

to value and divide the private property, which is
to be equally divided between the Princess AU.
GUSTA, the Princess of HESSE HOMBOURG, the
Duch, Js of GLOUCESTER, and the Princess So-
1-911A. The valuation of the property at the
Queen's Palace, Windsor Palace, and Frogmore
is ►early completed. Out Monday Lord
ARDEN and General TAYLOR, the Executors to
the QUEEN'S Will, attended a►. the Queen's Pa-
' lace to proceed with the arrangements, as.direct-
, cd by the Will ; the Chamber of her late NIA-
. JKSTY, which had been sealed upon her demise,
-was opened. At two • o'clock Mr. Serjeau►.
VAUGHAN and Mr. HART, the QUEEN'S Attorney

.and Solicitor-General, attended the Executors at
the Queen's Palace, t'o make the necessary or-
' rAngemefirs. Yesterday the Executors attended
at the King's Mews, Charing' Cross, to view the
-carriages and horses of the late QuKert, previous
to their being sold. The Royal Arms, except
'the supportets, are obliterated from the carriages
-with paint, the colonr of the panne's. Yestet day
morning five of the horses were shot on ar,ount
of their age, being between. 30 and 40, to pre-

vent their falling to the work of dust carts, B:c.--
The jewels of the late QUEEN were removed from
, the Bank of England, to be inspected by the
•Execut.ots, and valued by Mr. BRIDGE.

The Las!) CHANCIILLOK attended the House
'of Lords yesterday ; and we were happy to ob-

smuggling is carried on along the Sussex Coast.
A few days ago I saw no less than eleven

LANDING OF THE DUKE nOF WELLINGTON,

As observed from Dover Castle.

EDITOR,—A party of Officers on the look-
out for the landing of the Doke of WELLINGTON
having assembled round me last week, and the
subject of their conversation naturally taking a
turn as to the time his Grace had been employed
in •giining the vast renown he has acquired, your
Paper was mentioned as a prophetic chronicle
upon the occasion, and in a way that I think
must gratify you is hear ; and as you ate
known occasionally to give insertion to the Inca-
brations of the Buoy OF TUE Nova, the same in-
dulgence may perhaps be extended to the GWEAT
Uu at this Castle.

Be it known to you then, Mr. Editor, that it
was stated by one of the Officers, alluded to, who
appeared a middle-aged. man, and to have seen
much service, that THE SUN Newspaper was at
one titre the only daily publication that persisted
in the rosecution of the Peninsular NVar, and
founded its best hopes for success upon the eter-
tions of the Hero who commanded the British
Army. The subject was disputed, and a reference
made,when the Officer alluded to (who said he had
your columns tiled for years back) produced THE
Stn paper of the 511) March, 1810, where it was,
among other things, expressly stated (in Italics, as
learnt)—" Let a detertnined stand he made in
" Portugal under Lord Wellington,—so orga-
." nisetl, it will cost Buonaparte more' men,
" trouble, and treasure, again to subjugate that
" justly irritated people, than his subjects, vas-
' " sals as they are, will approve of or submit
" to," !

He fut"ther referred to your Paper of the
2d of August, in the same year ; where
the same subject was again treated upon :
but as I cannot charge my memory with every
interesting or prophetic particular, by re-
ferring to the dates and knels about that period
(for it was repektedly pressed in your Paper upon
the Public), it will occur I-) you whether, in jus-
tice to Tile Sus, any part of such documents,
truly prophetic as they appear to have been, are
worth reprinting,
I embrace the present occasion to offer, through

you, to his Grace the Doke of Wellington (and
w!,ich I trust may prove sccervable, as contiiig

from an old and experienced Warrior) my sin-
cere and cordial congratulations, and hearty wel-
rome, upon his arrival in this happy land, after
achieving all that a heart the most anxions for
fame and glory could achieve or aesire.
Whether the first footstep of such return should
be marked by a pyramid., left to chance, or chi-
selled by man—whether the Great Captain of the
Age should he suffered to seek his seat at the
Council Board of the Kingdom in silent admira-
, tion only—or whether, in recurring to 'the period
when Sir Arthur Wellesley firt leaped ashore in
the Bay of Figueras in 1809, the human mind
has cspaeity to contemplate the various chances
and changes which ten revolving years, all of
eventful import, must have produced, to return
him as he now is I o his Country—became subjects
of free discussion amongst the gallant Officers
by whom I was surrounded. The whole result of
as far as I could learn, may be summed
up in their general opinion as follows, viz. :
That aS his Grace would now be deservedly
plaCed at the right hand of his Sovereign, in the
bosom of his Councils, and the hearts of his
fellow-citizens, it was their hope, and must be
*the hope of Europe, that whatever situation may
be assigned to him, it may be subject to nu poli-
tical change ; hut placed, like me, upon a lasting,
fixed, and steady pinnacle, he may he enabled to
'overlook every change in the political horizon:
capable as he must be of aiding by his experience,
inspiring by his energy, teaching by his precepts,
or inciting by his example, all the Ministers and
all the men whom change of time or circumstances
may or can create in this Kingdom's Cabinet.

I am, Sir, your's,

27th December, 1818.

BRIGHTON, Dec. 28.—The dinner party at the
Palace consists of the suite of Royalty, without
any visitants whatever. His Royal Highness's
health is remarkably' good, and his spirits are
torch improved within the few last days.' His
Royal Highness generally takes exercise on
horseback, before dinner, in the Riding-school.
On Monday the Duke of Yoax came to town
from Oatlands, and yesterday his Royal Highness
left town for Brighton, on a visit to the REGENT.
The accounts front St. Petersburg!, inform us,
that the great demand 'there for gold and silver
bullion is beginning to decrease ; the Government
is willing to tike the gold, but having no longer
the same pressing occasion fur it as formerly, will
not agree to pay for it befote July next, thus re-
quiring a credit of More than six months ; this
condition is an effectual damp to speculations in
bullion, which may therefore be -expected to go
in search of a better warket.

SATURDAY.

tri glowing terms I would the day indite,
(Its morn, its noon, its afternoon, and night);

The busiest day througimat the week—the latter day;
A day whereon odd matters ate made even ;
The dirtiest—cleanest tooof all the seven ;
The scouring—pail, pan, plate, and platter day;
A day of general note and notability,
A plague to gentlefolks;
And prim gentility,
E'en to the highest ranksnobility
And yet a day (barring all jokes)
Of great utility,
Both to the rich as well as the mobility.
A day of tlinof clack—a clatter day:
For all, ho►ce'er they mince the -matter, say
The day they dread,
(A day with hippish, feverish, frenzy fed);
Is that grand day of fuss and bustle, Saturday
