REPLY.

At last, after a silence of 40 days, the Ministry
has made up its mind to speak. The ltioniteur,
which hitherto has not been sullied by any apolo-
getical sentence relative to this direful administra-
tion, has this morning published an article, in which
it is easily discovered that its anger is only restrained
by its weakness. This recrimination against the
press, or rather against the general opinion, of which
the journals are the echo, is the forerunner of a re-
treat forced by publ:c alarm and indignation. Those
men who pounced upon the budget the moment
the Chambers had voted it, and who seemed to
watch for the moment of their separation to exercise
power without restraint, now pretend to be astonished
at the fears which they have created, and at the
tempests which they have evoked !
But were not their names alone, and the la-
mentable circumstances which preceded them, suf-
ficient to put France on her guard ? And do not
their first choice, their untoward procession, their
loud menaces of sedition, and the tirades of their
hired writers against institutions purchased with
much blood, justify, indeed command, the qui vive
of all the sentinels of the public liberties, and the
alertness with which all France is actuated ?

Did a single day pass when they did not scatter
the seeds of fear throughout the nation ? Did not
Oleir repeated diatribes against the charter, their doc-
trine of right divine, borrowed from the most bloody
periods of the history of our neighbours, their vulgar
abuse of the e!Pctive chamber, their denunciations of
the electoral colleges, which they transformed into
clubs of conspirators;—their declaration that they
came to overthrow ;he edifice of our laws, and to
re-construct it from the foundation ;—their con-
tempt for majorities, their in3entate theories relative
to constitutional power, and their incendiary sophis-
tries relative to the vote of the taxes, burst forth in
frightful characters in the pages of their journals, in
each line of their libels ? And yet, when they have
succeeded in spreading terror in places where confi-
dence before reigned, and in substituting agitation
for repose, they dare to accuse France of being the
cause of 0104' alarm, and denounce her because she
has read and understood them
What a beautiful spectacle is that moral resistance
front the whole of a great people, that majestic calm,
and that imposing apathy which oppose the coolness
of right to the passion of arbitrary power; the
homage of that immense population which rushed
forward to meet the man whose renown is unsullied,
was offered less to the sincere and unchangeable
friend of our liberties than as a protest against the
avowed designs and the implacable manifestoes of
the adversaries of our constitutional institution.
The affliction which has taken possession of every
hoot, irritated at the sight of the most unpopular
men, and at the signal of the most significant menaces,
en entire people, who oppose a respectful opposition,
and who turn a look of grief and of hope towards the
throne, have at last drawn a cry from this dumb ad-
ministration, which, clothed in power, as in the
*Hence of the cloister, seemed only occupied in
plotting against the liberties of the country.
Behold them now ! They disown their menaces,
they repudiate their doctrines, and brand the fore-
heads of the writers whose pens they had hired,
with the mark of ignominy and shame I Those
men who came to change the system, who announced
a new order of things, are now reduced to the ne-
cessity of protesting their respect for the Charter
end the rights of the Chambers, which they denied
eaterday, but which to-day they humbly acknow-
ledge, What then can they do for power, if they
can accomplish nothing against their country, and
nothing in fervour of their faction ? Why do they
nut withdraw themselves, since they have only suc-
ceeded
in alarming France and in deceiving the
Throne, as they are a perpetual source of trouble
and discord, and as they have spread anxiety
throughout the most calm, the most confiding, and
the most submissive nation ?

Let them not, then, throw upon her the blame
of a state of mistrust, and the crisis which they
themselves have produced; above all, let them not
profane the name of the King by mixing him up
with their disavowals, as they did with their me-
naces ! They ought to know it ; they are incom-
patible with France; there is no accord, and there
can be no possible truce between 1815 and 1829.
At their very appearance the country drew back
from them, as well as that multitude of functionaries
wh6 had a horror of putting themselves in contact
with thunpopularity ; and the country, like those
e.."
honourable rn:'o,
will no more believe in their re-
tractatiou than it ,`.'ill suffer itself to be imposed upon
by their rhodomantades.
lively man of sense in France, every landed pro-
prietor, every capitalist, every citizen who thinks of
the future, every one who has any stake in the
country, is unanimous in repulsing a power incap-
able of any thing good, and which is reduced to the
sad extremity of acknowledging that it cannot even
do harm, and which required forty days of vain
effort and abortive attempts to decide upon telling
France that it will respect her institutions.
This Ministry has been its own judge, or, to use
the expression of its terrible Chief, it has done jus-
tice upon itself. From the moment it can commit
no violence, it can do nothing; and when it re-
ii.i.qunces despotism, it renounces power. Its retro-
gra4e manifesto of to-day may be looked upon as
An antipated dismissal.

Yesterday pi,Tning an accident happened to the
vehicle lately started by 31r. SIIILLIBEER, which was
likely to be attended with very serious consequences.
The Omnibus was driving through the Old Jewry, on its
way from Paddington to the Bank, with about 15 passen-
gers inside it, when it fairly broke down, and the persons
inside were thrown into each other's aims in the most fa-
miliar manner possible. The greatest alarm prevailed for
some time lest the concussion should have done serious
harm to the passengers, many of whom were females, I.ut
they were all got out " more frightened than hurt." A
long time elapsed before the Omnibus was set right, and
the Old Jewry was completely blocked op, Owing to the
great s:ze of the vehicle. The Paddington coachmen re-
joiced much when they heard of the accident.

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 23, 1829.

Naremburg Gazettes state, upon the autho-
rity of a German officer serving in the Russian
army under General DIEBITSCII, that its force
at the moment of crossing the Balkan amounted
only to about 45,000 men, but that taking into
account the reinforcements on the way to join
it from the Danube and the ports of the Black
Sea, it might have amounted to 80,000 men
when the General advanced against Adrianople.

The total non-resistance of the Turks is now
attributed to fatalism, a sorry excuse certainly
after the ridiculous boasts of their number,
bravery, and religious enthusiasm in the cause of
the Prophet, as the SULTAN vainly endea-
voured to represent the struggle to their fervid
imaginations. After all that we have heard of
the SULTAN'S mighty preparations, it certainly
seems very strange that he could not muster a
f7rce sufficiently strong to resist an invading
army of 50,000 men. Our wonder is marvel-
lously increased when we reflect on the natural
means of defence within the SULTAN'S power—
means which had formerly been considered as
impregnable ; but it may perhaps have been
owing to this blind belief in the impregnability
of the Balkan defences, that the fate of the war
has been so suddenly decided, against the inte-
rests of the too confiding SULTAN. The
Balkans once passed, the Turks seem to have
given themselves up to despair. They looked
upon the Russians as irresistible and so
tamely resigned to fear what they might
have defended with glory. But they felt
like men whose hour was come—and

deemed resistance as warring against the in-
superable decrees of Providence. Hence the
rapid success of the Russians—a success so un-
expected that the conquerors were allowed to
march on unmolested, wondering at the sunshine
of their fortune. The disgraceful capitulation of
Adrianople, proved, if any proof were wanting,
that the Turkish Commanders had partaken of
the paralysing panic which ha,l prostrated the
energies of their men. In this deplorable
state of military disorganization, what had the
SULTAN to look forward to, but submis-
sion, which to be at all effectual, must be
timely ? Hesitation would have enabled the
victorious Russians to have aroused him from

his doubts by the startling echoes of their
" hurrahs " thickening upon the affrighted
inmates of the Seraglio. The very courier that
announced the surrender of Adrianople bespoke
the fate of the capital, if resistance were pro-
longed. The SULTAN felt this—and was con.
strained to act accordingly. What the result
has been we have yet to learn :—perhaps to-
morrow will dissipate a world of doubt which yet
exists, notwithstanding the assertion that the
preliminaries of peace have already been signed :
BANKS OF THE MAINE.

A letter from a German officer, serving in the
army under General Diebitsch, contains the follow-
ing details of the strength of that army :
The Russian army which has crossed the Balkan
was only from 40 to 45,000 strong; but the rein-

forcements expected from the ports of the Black
Sea, where they were to be landed, and also from
the banks of the Danube, may be estimated ta at,
many more. Thus it may be estimated 'that the
Russian General had not fewer than 80,000 men
when he advanced against Adrianople, which is suf-
ficient to disperse the doubts that have been enter-
tained of the possibility of his victorious march to
Constantinople. His army was in excellent condi-
tion, abuts antly supplied with every thing, and in
the highest spirits. It appears to us that there was
nothing to be apprehended of a general rising of
the Turkish population against the Russian army. The
Turkish troops have shewn themselves to•be totally
discouraged, which may be accounted for by their
belief in fatalism, and the little success they have
hitherto had. In fine, this letter represents Con-
stantinople as the goal which the Russians will in a
short time infallibly reach.

SILISTRIA, AUG. 25.

This place begins to recover from the miseries of
a ruinous siege. The population has, indeed, been
much reduced by disease, and the health of the city
is not so good as might be wished. The Russians,
however, do every thing possible to alleviate the
distresses of the inhabitants. Great sums are ex-
pended in repairing the fortresses, on which the
inhabitants, both Christians and Mahometans, are
employed and well paid. Our commercial inter-
course with Bulgaria begins to revive, and our
Governor does his utmost to favour it.
RUSSIA, AUG. 25.
_

While the messengers of victory from our army
beyond the Balkan rapidly follow each other, the
exchange of couriers between our Cabinet and foreign
Courts, especially London, is equally active. It is
inferred from this that negotiations are going on
simultaneously with the military operations, in
order to obtain in the shortest time pos-
sible the blessings of a glorious peace. The
French Minister, the Duke de Montemart, has re-
turned from \Viborg, where he has been for the
benefit of sea bathing, and immediately on his re-
turn, had a long conference with Count Nesselrode,
and afterwards a private audience of the Emperor.
We now hear nothing of his recall, which was ex-
pected to follow the change in the French Ministry.
It is even said that he has received new instructions,
which tend to draw still closer the friendship be-
tween Russia and France. It may be presumed,
therefore, that any differences between our Cabinet
and that of England are fully adjusted, and that
the great work of the pacification of the East will
be completed with the full concurrence of all the
European Powers.

We perceive by a report of the proceedings
in the Court of Aldermen held yesterday, that
Mr. WINCHESTER was sworn in as Alderman
for the Ward of Vintry—an honour to which
he should have been called upwards of two years
ago, were it not for the blind obstinacy of that
-Court of which the worthy Gentleman is
now a rightful Member—thanks to his own
perseverance and proper sense of justice. Of
Mr. WILDE, his antagonist, we shall say no-
thing—enough for him is the contemplation of
his own defeat, though backed by the influence
and monied support of the Corporation of
London !

The generous and well- merited welcome with
which the LORD MAYOR and Court of Alder-
men received Mr. WINCHESTER yesterday, as
a member of their body, reflects credit upon
their feelings, and proves that their opposition
was not prompted by any individual motives, but
solely from a mistaken notion of Mr. WIN-
CHESTER'S eligibility.
It was upon this misapprehension that they
supported Mr. WILDE, believing him to be the
rightful Candidate, but now that they are :con-
vinced of their mistake, we have no doubt
they will, in the same spirit of impartial
justice, reimburse Mr. WINCHESTER in all the
expences to which he has been put through their
own instrumentality. If Mr. WINCHESTER did
not happen to rbe a man of substance,
and able to vindicate his own rights, we
see that Mr. WILDE would have been the suc-
cessful candidate, for money, and not justice,
would have prevailed. As it is, we trust
that the Corporation of London will hasten
to repair the injuries which it inadvertently
inflicted, by rendering Mr. WINCHESTER the
only thing now in its power—a repayment of all
his expences—expences incurred in asserting his
own right, and in maintaining those of the Cor-
poration at the same time.

Mr. SADLER, having resolved to belie the
prophecy of COBBETT, that he would go down
to posterity under the name of single speech
SADLER, has delivered an oration at Whitby

that has thrown the enemies of improvement into
ecstasies of delight, and has been pronounced
by them to be an admirable counterpart of his
maiden effort on the Catholic Question. That
number two is indeed worthy of number one,
we freely admit ; for we know few better exer-
cises for juvenile detectors of fallacies than the
productions of the Member for Newark. He is
a man of showy information, a shrewd observer,
and not deficient in the art of composition, and
is consequently successful in making an impres-
sion on those whose wits arc not sufficiently alive
to prevent their taking for Gospel all that falls
with plausibility from his mouth, particularly
when it coincides with their preconceived opi-
nions. But Mr. SADLER has a fault, or misfor-
tune, which we apprehend must greatly interfere
with his fame with posterity as a politician ,
namely, that he is unable to reason, or to deduce
correct consequences from premises. Hence we
find him perpetually blundering when he endea-
vours to ascribe effects to particular causes—at-
tributing existing circumstances to events with
which they have no more relation than the
building of Tenterden steeple had with the ac-
cumulation of Sandwich Flats, evidence to which
effect was once given before the King's Com-
missioners.

To refute formally the opinions expressed by
Mr. SADLER at Whitby, would entail on us the
task of discussing at length every political ques-
tion that now divides the public mind. But it
is the less necessary to attempt it in the present

1 • instance, as the speech contains no new argu-
ment of any kind, but is merely a string of as-
t sertions which may be answered by pleading the
general issue, as the lawyers say. It is more-
over impossible to suppose that Mr. SADLER'S
notions can have the slightest weight with the
Government, or that the Duke of WELLING-
TON would think them deserving of any other
notice than that with which NAPOLEON used
to stop the suggestions of his officers—" Tenez,
ma resolution ea prise
As a specimen of Mr. SADLER'S logic, the
following is curious :—Our glorious Constitu-
tion, quoth he, was not formed by any one great
effort, or struck off as it were by one stamp, but
the various laws for our religion, our commerce,
&c. have been made from time to time, as the
circumstances of the country led our ancestors
to see fit ; ergo, there never should be any change
in those laws. Now this is the very argument
in favour of change ; because if our Constitution
had been deliberately framed at any one time, upon
any one defined plan with reference to the future,
as was the case in the early Republics of Greece,
then the presumption might have been against
alteration ; but when «e see that our laws have
all along been made with a view to existing cir-
cumstances, like the Anti-Catholic Laws, the
Navigation Laws, the Prohibitory System, the
One Pound Note System, and so forth, the
conclusion is irresistible that when the circum-
stances to which those laws were made to apply,
have ceased, they ought to be altered to suit the
state of the present times.

In contradiction to Mr. SADLER'S statements
about Free Trade, we refer to the Parliamentary
Returns of the gradual increase of our com-
merce and shipping. In answer to his vagaries
concerning population, we beg attention to an
article in the Edinburgh Review just published;
and, as an antidote to his lamentation for the
falling off of the present generation from the
religious principles and intellectual attainments
of their ancestors, we cannot recommend a bet-
ter work than the pamphlet of Dr. ARNOLD,
the Master of Rugby School, on the Catholic
Question. Real piety and learning are always
found united with common sense.

In the peroration of 1/r. SADLER'S speech
there is a passage of a prophetic nature. The
country, he foretells, will eventually be rescued
from its difficulties in the following manner :
" The Deity shall appear, and smiting the
" unfaithful Palinurus, himself' seize the helm,

and pilot the vessel through the succeeding

" storm into the haven of prosperity and
" peace !" Palinurus, of course, means the
Duke of WELLINGTON—but whether the
" Deity" is intended to typify the Duke of
NEWCASTLE, Lord WINCHILSEA, or the
Member for Newark himself, our skill in the
interpretation of prophecy does not enable us
precisely to determine.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, Twiars o' CLocr.

Consols opened this morning at the same price
they left off at yesterday, 89i for the account, and
89 for money, at which prices they remain steady
without any business doing. Up to the present
hour we have no further information from the
theatre of war.

The Foreign market is also in a very inactive
state as yet.

Our arrivals this morning are but few, conse-
quently we are shy of information.
Quebec Papers to the 26th August, and Mon-
treal to the 28th August, have been received at the
North and South American Coffee-house.

STANSTEAD, AUG. 20.—1 n consequence of the
private advices from England, intimating that the
Bill to mak:: a new division of the province, and to
increase the representation thereof, which passed in
the provincial Parliament last session, had received
the Royal assent, notices have been put in circula-
tion calling meetings of the freeholders of several
townships, for choosing delegates to a general meet-
ing, which is to be holden at Lennaxeville on the
26th inst. _ _

The Montreal Paper of the 27th August states,
that his Excellency, Sir James Kemp, is to leave
Quebec for Richelieu, to land at Nicotel, from
whence he is to proceed through the Eastern town-
ships, and is again expected at Montreal about the
middle of September.

TWO O'CLOCK.

There has been but very little fluctuation in the
Consol Market this morning; they have been done
at 89f for the Account, and at present may be
quoted at 89f -a and 89-1- for Money. Some sur-
prise is expressed in the City that no confirmation
has as yet been received of the armistice and the
prePmina►ies between the Turks and Russians.
The delay, it is supposed, is owing to its being sent
to the Emperor, at St. Petersburgh, for his ratifica-
tion before ►t is officially published.
Accounts from Araquipa of the 29th March state,
that eight Commissioners have arrived from Bolivia,
with the hopes of persuading General Santa Cruz
to accept the Presidency of that Republic, and it
seems he has not been able to resist their entreaties,
and will set off in a few days for the Bolivian capital.
In the Foreign Market Brazilian Bonds have im-
proved nearly one per cent. All other foreign
securities arc much the same as yesterday.

Consols for Account, 894.

Yesterday the Mum of Drogheda steam-
packet came into our harbour about twelve o'clock, after
encountering the very severe south-easterly gale which
took place the night before, and during the early part of
the morning. The Town of Drogheda sailed from
Drogheda at one o'clock on Thursday for Liverpool, and
had on hoard, we understand, nearly 700 bead of rattle,
of various kinds. The decks were very much crowded
with them. On the vessel coming into birth every exer-
tion was made to reland them. They were in a most
wretched condition, and sheep and pigs died in abundance.
The horned cattle were so weak on being brought on
shore that they could barely walk, and some of them died
also. The vessel did not SCUM to suffer in the hull or rig-
ging. The great embarrassment in navigating her arose
from the quantity of cattle on deck.—saunderes News

FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

MEETING AT LLOYD'S-(THIS DAY.)

A meeting of the Subscribers to the establishment of
Lloyd's took place this morning at twelve o'clock for the
purpose of having laid before them the half-yearly report°

The LORD MAYOR in the Chair.

His LORDSHIP congratulated the meeting on the fiaaw
vial statement he was about to lay before them, and
formed the subscribers that a sum of 5001. had beet'
vested in the Three per Cent. Consols during the half
year, making an amount of 2,000/. during the twelve-
month. The sum now in that stock to the credit of
Lloyd's was 15,5011/. His Lordship further stated that
owing to the pressure of business in the last Session of Par-
liament, the subject of Marine Insurance had not been
brought before the House of Commons, but that he had
the assurance of the Chancellor of the Exchequer that the
subject occupied the attention of his Majesty's Govern•
:pent. It was then moved and seconded that the half-yearly
report be received, which was carried unanimously.--
Thanks wore then moved to the Right Hon. Chairman,
and the meeting terminated.

OPENING OF THE NEW POST OFFICE,

THIS MORNING.

This splendid edifice was opened in the presence of a great
concourse of people, for the commencement of the business
of the Post-office department, a short time before five
o'clock this morning.

During the whole of last night workmen were busily en-
gaged in making all complete in those offices more imme-
diately required, and all the principal officers of the de-
partment were at their posts. By the arrival of the mails
every thing was ready.

The Holyhead Mail was the first to enter the court-yard
of the new Post-office, and came in in gallant style at
about a quarter past five o'clock. The other ►nai'.s followed

at intervals of ten minutes to half an hour.

We are extremely sorry to state that a serious accident
befel the Brighton Mail. It would appear that a rivalry
existed among all the mail-coachmen to be the first who
entered the new Office, and a confident expectation was
indulged that either the Brighton or the Dover Mail4o
from the short distance they have to come, would lain
reached the new Office first. In their desire to arrive first
it is scarcely to be wondered at that the mails were drivel'
with more than usual rapidity, in order that each coach
might get the preference. The Brighton coach was cola"
ing to town with great speed, and when it arrived one mile
on the London side of Coventry it upset, and the coachman
was seriously hurt. In the coach was one of the gentlemen
connected with the Post-office, he escaped unhurt, and ita'
mediately came to town with the letter-bags in a p.or
chaise. The coachman was left in a very dangerous state'
With the exception of this, no other accident occurred.
The imp:oved system adopted in the new Post-office,
under the judicious arrangement of Sir F. Freeling, or
abled the inland officers to sort and arrange the letters by
about eight o'clock, and at half-past eight they were ready
for delivery.
In the course of the morning four vehicles were stationed
within the railing at the back of the Post-office, built after
the manner of the Omnibus. In those the letter-carried
having to deliver letters at the west and north-westen parts'
the Metropolis, took their seats about half-past eig
o'clock, two of the carriages proceeding up the Strand, as
the other two up Holborn. There were about fourteen
letter-carriers in each.

In the city the early delivery of letters insured under the
new regulations was very remarkable. At Lloyd's Coffer'a
house and other public places the letters arrived full Xv
minutes earlier than usual.

During the whole morning great numbers of peoplef
were inspecting the new building, at least, those parts
it now open. Unqualified praise was given to the arch,'
tect for the chaste manner in which the new Post-office
has been completed.
The mail-coachmen and guards are to have a dinner on
the occasion, at least, such is the understanding at present
The obelisk at the top of St. Martin's-le-Grand appear':
to be in the way, as the mail-coaches have to make a vert
sharp turn to go round, in order to pass down the sotto'
side of the new building ; indeed, ft am the rapid marine;
in which the coaches came in this morning, it was kitten
that some accident would ensue.
This edifice, which has been nearly ten years in the
c ,urse of erection, has now been completed, and the public
will derive much accommodation from the central situation
in which it is placed. The branch offices were in active
operation this morning, and it is some satisfaction to WO
that the lives of the public will no longer be endangered k 1
the mail-carts. They are to be put down altogether.
The letters at the remote ends of the town will be deli-
vered at least an hour earlier by the new regulations.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DA:

A DISORDERLY ORDERLY.—A Spaniard of peculis.rlY

round the Spaniard, who seemed bent upon distingels,",
himself still more. The police at last got hold of itioo,

and endeavoured to place him in a coach. It aPretrthe
however, that he was as active about the legs as abOigici
