to the bulk of the industrious classes. There is,
consequently, no more moral demerit in wishing
to alter existing institutions than in wishing to
retain them, and on this point Sir R. PERI. has
no other pre-eminence over Mr. O'Costrat than
that he flatters the prejudices and the passions
of those who are in possession of political power,
and anxious to keep it.
Mr. O'Costston,andall that class of men, affirm
that they mean to promote the public welfare.
In general their motives are considered different,
and it is shrewdly suspected that they only
want to promote their own interest. Nor can
we wonder whatever protestations they make at
the existence of the suspicion. So many persons
in various ages and countries have tried their
bands at schemes to this end without success; it
is felt by all reasonable men, at least when new
political schemes are broached—that society is
so extremely complicated, its interests are so
varied and so vast--so much beyond the compre-
hension, let alone the grasp, of any ordinary
human intellect—that those who propose schemes
12,000 for the re-formation of society are generally

'lOO do.
do. very ignorant men, or men plunged in despair
from the long continuance of unrelieved oppres-
sion, believes their assertions, or derive any hope
from their promises.
But if these men are suspected, none but sheer
spoonies believe the landlords and their toadies,
when they assert, or it is asserted for them, that
they have the good of society at heart. Selfish-
ness, unmitigated selfishness, is engraved on all
their acts. They aim at no other object than to
preserve their own power, secure their own
ease, increase their own enjoyment, and augmen t
their own wealth. We do not state that as a
reproach to them; it is human nature,
and it is too well known for their pro-
testations of disinterestedness to be for one
moment believed. Between them and the
demagogues there is no other difference what-
ever than that they are in possession of privileges,
and the others wish to share them. The insti-
tutions which they seek to preserve, are as ex-
clusively founded on selfishness as would be the
institutions the others propose. On this ground
we cannot see that the demagogues are more
blameable than the aristocracy ; or that those
who flatter the multitude have any greater de-
merit in their attempts to attain political power,
than those have who flatter the prejudices of the
selfish landlords to the same end.
If, as the opponents and enemies of dema-
gogues—those who, being in possession, wish to
remain undisturbed—assert the conduct of
the demagogues is so worthy of reproach, we
hope they will excuse us for saying that their
own greatest favourites are just as liable to such
reproaches as the demagogues. That the dema-
gogues know better is not certain ; but it can
scarcely be supposed that statesmen do not. We
conclude on the whole, therefore, that the former
are possibly the better men of the the two, as
they are more honest and more sincere.

It is said that the high and important office of Go-
vernor-General of India is likely before long to be
vacant. It is stated that the last dispatches addressed
from the Honourable Court to Lord Ellenborough,
in reference to the war in Affghanistan, are couched
in such strong and reproachable terms, as to the
orders sent for the forces to re .cross the Indus, as to
render it almost certain that the Noble Lord will
deem it an imperative duty to return to England to
vindicate himself from certain imputations alleged to
have been made against the policy he has pursued
while he has held his high official appointment.

FLANDERS and HAMBURGH MAIL.

Baussms, Nov. 10.—The Director and three
keepers of the prison of the Petits Carmes have been
suspended from their functions, in consequence of the
escape of General Vandersmissen.

judicial investigation was immediately com-
menced, and still c3ntinues. Circulars containing a
description of the fugitive have been sent in all di-
rections.

Yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock, the ex-Ge-
neral Vandermeere now convalescent, Was removed
from the house of his mother to the prison of the Petit
Carmes. :Yesterday the son of General Vandersmissen,
accused of having favoured the escape of his father,
underwent a long examination by the Judge who
conducts the inquiry.
Al,l the furniture of General Vandersmissen was
taken in execution :yesterday, at the instance of his
creditors.

Places and private Boxes to be had of Mr. J. Kerschner, at
the Box-office, from eleven to four.

WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE THIS DAY.
46 minutes after 0 1 Evening .... 6 minutes after 1.

It appears that some persons were waiting for Ge-
neral Vandersmissen at a short distance from the prison.
They threw a cloak on his shoulders, and proceeded
to a spot where horses were ready, which the fugitives
instantly mounted, and taking the road from Schaer-
beck to Eva and Westerloo, at half-past eleven, on
the following day, they were in a place of safety, ex-
hausted with fatigue ; they had not stopped a moment
by the way. The riders were 'obliged to be lifted
from their horses, and the poor beasts immediately fell
to the ground.
The Magistrates have received information that
Madame Vandcrsmissen and her youngest son have ar-
rived at Aix-la• Chapelle.
HANOVER, Nov. 4.—We have received from &Ahern
Kirchen, where his Majesty the King has gone on a
hunting party, the afflicting intelligence that the con-
tinued indisposition of his Majesty has so increased
that he is obliged to keep his room.
When we perceive with sorrow that the King's
vigorous constitution is no lorger capable of great
bodily exertion, and that almost every journey is fol-
lowed by indisposition, it seems unlikely that he will
undertake the long journey which the journals have
spoken of.
