LISBON PAPERS.

LISBON, Nov. 3.—His Majesty has been pleased
to restore Antonio Moreira Dias to the place of Di-
rector of the Public Corn Magazines, of which he
was unexiectedly deprived, under the Revolutionary
Government, on the 28th March, 1821 ; and also
that Domingos Manoel a Coutinho, who was put
into the place of Senhor Dias, shall return to the
Commissariat of the Army.
Nov. 4.—To-day, being the Saint's day of her
Majesty the Queen, was celebrated with the usual
demonstrations of respect, by salutes from the ships
and the forts, a gmnd drawing-room, and a general
Ilum.nation in the evening.— Lisbon Gazettes, to
7th Nov. inclusive.

M. LAWLESS left London yesterday for Ire-
lbw]. This gentleman has served all his terms for the
present year in the Hon. Society of Gray's Inn. We

Ire'and.—Morning _Herald.

A correspondent states that at I)evonport, a
few d iys since, the boats all came home heavily laden,
and containing, besides other fish, upwards of 1,400
rnawns of hake (a large coarse whiting). Each mawn
(of SO 0,11) may be estimated at 200 lbs., and the entire
cargo of this particular fish, at once upon the market, was
2b0,000 lbs., or 125 tons! Such a sight was never be-
fore ,een—the quay and its neighbourhood were crowded
with people to witnes, so extraordinary a scene, and to
Le, ome purchasers; the price being one shilling for every
dozen fish (supposed to weigh 84 lbs.), and Is. Sd. for a
dozen of the largest size!! Surely we could not live
el caper than this on the Continent. The hake is a fish
Ai frequent tise on the western coast.

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 23, 1829.

The Express from Paris, this morning, has
not brought anything new with respect to the
French Ministry. The following are extracts :

(From the Gazette de France of Saturday. )
(SECOND EDITION.

PARIS, NOV. 20.

We find the following passage in a letter from
Constantinople, dated the sth of October :
" Every thing here goes on so slowly that the
Turks have taken six days to write a I, the
King of Kings ratify.' " This is what makes people
ta!k of diligence in the execution of the Treaty of
Adrianople. As for the Paella of Scutari, it is true
that he has thought to render himself independent;
but General Diebitsch having threatened to march
against him with his whole force, Mustapha will cer-
tainly be quiet.

SYRA, OCT. P3.—Since the raising of the blockade
of the Dardanelles, the Archipelago offers a remark-
able scene, on every side merchantmen of various
nations directing their course towards the Black Sea.
The commerce of our town is extremely active,
more than 20 ships arrive in our port or sail from it
every day.
After receiving the Treaty of Adrianople the Pre-
sident arrived here on board a brig belonging to the
Government, and, after having stopped six hours,
set out for Egina. We are entirely ignorant of the
object of this short visit. Firmans have been sent
from Constantinople to the Turkish Governments
of Athens and Eubar to evacuate those places. A
part of the garrison of the latter had already been
conveyed to Salonichi. The inhabitants, who are
not soldiers, are to choose a Turkish town to which
they will be removed, unless they prefer to remain
under the Greek Government.

In Candia the Turks now' possess only the for-
tresses and the territories surrounding them within
cannon shot. The late victories gained by the troops
of Ypsilanti, in Continental Greece, are slue, in a
great measure, to the disciplined troops. The resi-
dence of the French troops has greatly contributed
to form ours,

STOCKHOLM, NOV. 14.

Last year the total value of goods exported from
Sweden and Norway to the United States was
1,570,788 dollars, and that of goods imported from
the United States into the two kingdoms 471,754
dollars. In 1827, the respective values were
1,015,507 dollars, and 409,041 dollars.
The Chamber of the Nobles has requested the
other Chambers to concur in a resolution it has
taken to petition the King to have an inquiry insti-
tuted, to discover who is properly to bhime for the
differences that are found in the copies of the con-
tract concluded between the Crown and the House
of Michaelson and Benedicks, relative to the sale of
the men of war, in order that the individual in fault
may be answerable for the loss which the State has
sustained by that transaction.

ERFL RTC NOV, 14.

His Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Con-

THE HAGUE, NOV. 19.

At Eghem, in West Flanders, SO inhabitants had
signed a petition, in which, as usual, they desire
the execution of the Concordat, the liberty of in-
struction, the abolition of the duty on grinding corn,
the free use of the French language, &c. They had
not read the petition, but believed, as they were
told, that it asked only the abolition of the tax paid
on grinding corn. As soon as they were informed
of the real fact, they drew up a similar petition,
which was signed not only by them, but by 70 more
of the principal inhabitants, in which they declare
that they were deceived; that they do not ask the
execution of the Concordat, as the Bishops conse•
crated, and the seminaries opened; that they do not
ask the entire freedom of instruction, as it would
only tend to destroy that which they now have;
that they do not wish for the French language, be-
cause scarcely any body in their parish understands
it, and they would not like to see the public docu-
ments in French ; that they desire nothing but the
abolition of the tax on grinding corn, and the reduc-
tion of the public buildings as far as consistent ‘Aith
the exigencies of the public service. The Clergyman
and Chaplain were greatly displeased at this counter
petition, and have declaimed from the pulpit, in
very violent language, against the Ministerialists,
against the Liberal Journals, and especially against
the authors of the petition, calling them the instru-
ments of the devil, and adherents of Luther and
Calvin.

The following communication from our intel-
igent Correspondent at Paris will serve to throw
some more light upon the secret causes which
have produced the recent changes in the French
Ministry. It appears that the dismissal of M.
DE LA BOURDONNAYE had been determined on
at all events, and the only difficulty was as to the
mode. At length the appointment of the
Prince DE POLIGNAC to the Presidency of the
Council was deemed the most feasible plan, and
was carried into effect. By the secession of a
bold but uncompromising rival, the Prince has
now the game in his own hands, with the assur-
ance that he has made a desperate and indignant
enemy. If the Ministry of the Prince was not
strong before, it is assuredly not stronger now,
though it be more unanimous, or rather more
pliable to his individual will. The Prince has
made a hazardous step, and must abide the con-
sequence :

" PARIS, NOV. 21.

" The prediction which I hazarded in my last
letter, that M. de Moot bel, the Minister of Public
Instruction, would be raised to the more important
department of the Interior, vacated by the resigna-
tion of M. de la Bourdonnaye, has since been verified
by the event; but whether that event is to be fol-
lowed, as many well-informed individuals continue
to believe, by the return to power of M. de Villele,
yet remains to be seen. The department of Public
Instruction has been given to M. Guernon de
Ranville, late Procureur tlu Roi in the Court
of Lyons, a man who is only known in public
life by some violent declamations against the constitu-
tional party, in which he loudly proclaims himself
a counter-revolutionist. If by this term were
meant an opposition to any fresh revolutionary move-
ment in France, I am persuaded that M. de Ran-
ville would be seconded by the great body of the
people, and particularly by that powerful middle class
which has risen within these few years, and is rapidly
continuing to rise in weight and importance. But
there is too much reason to believe that M. de Ran-
vide has been selected, not from his anxiety to op-
pose a new revolution, the apprehension of which is
utterly chimerical, but from the disposition he has
manifested, in common with the other Members of
the Cabinet, to deprive the people of the rights and
privileges they have already reaped as the fruits of
the past revolution. It appears to me that the French
people show a great deal of forbearance in submitting,
as I am persuaded they would do, to the admini•tra-
tion of the Prince de Polignac, provided he were to
get rid of some of the more obnoxious of his colleagues,
and pursue a course of policy not inconsistent with
the rights and privileges guaranteed by the Charter;
when it must be fresh in their recollection that that
very Charter was solemnly protested against by the
present Mime Minister, and that it was two years
old before he was persuaded to signify his adherence
to it. As to M. de Montbel, he is spoken of by

his friends of the Royalist party as a man of consi-
derable powers as an orator; a circumstance which
has no doubt materially contributed to his elevation,
as in this respect the Cabinet will sustain a serious
loss by the retirement of M. de la Bourdonnaye,
who was no doubt destined to hare been the leader
of the Ministerial party in the Chamber of Deputies.
" It is at length admitted in the Quolidienne of
this morning, that the resignation of M. de la Bour-
donnaye was in consequence of the appointment
of the Prince de Pelignac as President of the Coun-
cil ; an admission which does not seem to be calcu-
lated to raise either him who retires from the Ad-
ministration, or those who remain in it, in the estima-
tion of the country, since it stews that the change or
modification produced in the Cabinet has not arisen
from a conscientious difference of opinion, but from
a paltry question of pre-eminence and power. The
fact seems to be, that the hot and haughty temper of
the Ex-Minister of the Interior, made him a
rather unmanageable associate. The nomination
of a President of the Council is a matter of
some standing ; and having, when first agitated,
been strenuously opposed by M. de la Bour-
donnaye, the question in deference to his views was
suffered to fall into abeyance. Other causes of dif-
ference having since arisen in consequence of this
impracticability of temper on the part of M. de la
Bourdonnaye, it was resolved by those Members of
the Ministry who wish to accomplish their objects,
whatever they may be, by quiet means, to get rid of
their hot-headed colleague, and for this purpose the
elevation of the Prince de Pelignac to the office of
Prime Minister en titre was resorted to, in the
knowledge from what had previously transpired, as
well as from the known character of their colleague,
that it would produce his immediate resignation.—
From his subsequent refusal of a peerage, and
from the indirect means which were adopted
to get rid of him, it is generally believed
in spite of cal that is said to the contrary in
the Quetidienne and the Gazette, that M. de la
Bourdonnaye is completely alienated from his quon-
dam colleagues. He is admitted to be a mast of
great energy of purpose, and not to be destitute
either of courage or talent ; and as he is understood
to have the command of at least five-and-twenty
votes in the Chamber of Deputies, independent of
Ministerial influence, it was certainly, under existing
circumstances, rather a hazardous experiment to
give serious cause of personal offence to a man
whose character is so little calculated to warrant
the supposition of his soon forgetting an injury.
Before his retirement, the question no doubt was,
whether he was to succumb before the bigotted
and Jesuitical party, who desired to effect their
purposes by indirect means, or whether his sit-
perior energy would enable him to controul
the Cabinet, and use that party as the in-
strument of their common purposes. Having
been unable to withstand the priestly influ-
ence arrayed against him, he has maintained his
resolution of refusing to act in a subordinate ca-
pacity, and it is now believed that he will join him-
self to that party who are known in the Chamber
as the old provincial aristocracy ; who although too
haughty to accede to a system of government in
which the simple citizen is in equal possession of

civil rights with the old noblesse, are also too proud
to allow themselves to be ruled by the ignoble
monks whose influence is now predominant at Court.
" It is spoken of as extraordinary that there are
now two Ministers who are not Members of either
of the Legislative Chambers. Of the seven Mem-
bers of the Cabinet, three are peers, viz., Messrs.
Polignac, Chabrol, and Bourmont ; two are Depu-
ties, viz., Messrs. Montbel and d'Haussez, while
two are neither one nor the other, viz., Messrs.Cour-
voiser and Guernon de Renville; a circumstance
which has not before occurred since the date of the
restoration.

" In consequence of M. de la Bourdonnaye's refusal
of a peerage, that dignity has been offerred to his
son, with the view, no doubt, of conciliating the
father, but whether it is to be accepted has not yet
transpired.
"It was generally understood that the resignation
of M. de la l3ourdonnaye would be followed by that
of M. Mangin, the Prefect of Police, who was ex-
pected to succeed to the office of Procureur du Roi
at the Court of Lyons, vacated by the promotion of
M. de Montbel to the Minister of the Interior, but
it appears that there is some difficulty in supplying
the place of M. Mangin, who is said to have been
strongly urged by M. Nlontbel to remain at the Pre-
fecture of Police. This, however, I have no doubt,
is only a temporary arrangement, there being every
probability that M. Mangin will follow the example
and the fortunes of his patron M. de la Bourdon-
nave."

We understand that Sir GILBERT BLANE,
with the sanction of the Lords of the Admiralty,
has founded a prize medal for the best Journal
kept by the Surgeons of his MAJEsTY's Navy.
The medal is to be awarded every second year,
the Commissioners selecting four Journals,—
Sir GILBERT during his life, and thenceforth
the President of the College of Physicians and
the President of the College of Surgeons, decid-
ing which of such four is best entitled to this
honorary distinction. The institution of the
prize medal is likely to excite considerable emu-
lation in the medical departments of the Navy ;
and by bringing the Journals from time to time
before the notice of the Board, ensure to the
most deserving the promotion which in this most
important branch of the public service is, or
ought to be, only given to merit.

The Venerable Baronet, we understand, was
formerly Physician to the Fleet, sailed for a long
period with Admiral Lord RODNEY, and was
present in most of the celebrzted actions fought
by that great Commander.

We direct the attention of those who are in-
terested in a reformation of the abuses in the
Church Establishment of Ireland, to a very sen-
sible and clear exposition of the manner in which
the Clergy of the Church of Scotland are paid.
The article is headed " Tithes"—and is ad-
dressed to the Editor of a Morning Paper (the
Herald), by a Correspondent, under the signa-
ture of " Presbyter." We think that if a
plan similar to that described by " Presbyter'
were adopted in Ireland, it would be productive
of incalcuble benefit, by effectually putting an
end to the discreditable and even rancorous
squabbles which constantly occur in that country
about tithes. Perhaps the extension of the prac-
tice to other quarters might be found not less de-
sirable than conducive to the promotion of that
good fellowship which should always subsist be-
tween the Pastor and his flock.

Since writing our observations on Saturday on
the China Trade we have perused a pamphlet, pub-
lished by Mr. EFFINGHAM WILSON, professing
to be a " Review of the Arguments and Allega-
tions which have been offered to Parliament against
the renewal of the East India Company's
Charter." After some trifling criticisms on the
phraseo!ogy of the petitions presented to Parlia-
ment last session from Manchester, Liverpool,
Wigan, Wakefield, Carlisle, and other places,
the objections taken to the liberation of the trade
as advocated by Mr. WHITMORE, Mr. CRAW-
FORD, Mr. BUCKINGHAM and others, are prin-
cipally these—that the American commerce
with China has not increased since 1814, but
rather diminished, and that the prices of tea in
France, the Netherlands, and the Hanse'rowns are
so unreasonably low as to be in some cases be-
low the prime cost in China. Now to use a
legal phrase, these assertions are not issuable
pleas, but are demurrable, because, supposing
them to be true, they do not bear upon the
question at issue. The question is whether it
is just that our own ships should be debarred
from a trade enjoyed by the Americans ; and
whether the Americans have or have not
over-traded, is really nothing to the purpose.
The speculations of merchants must be left to
their own judgment, and if they are at first some-
what wild, they will eventually be adjusted b 3
experience ; but, from fear of overtrading, to
shut up the trade altogether, is a specific which,
with the exception of Mr. SADLER, we should
have hardly expected to find any one person
gravely to recommend.
If the consumption of tea is capable of in-
crease (and that it is so cannot reasonably be
doubted), the presumption is extremely strong
that the China trade will also be augmented.—
Whether the English will dash at once into it
so largely, that we shall be able to buy tea in
London under the invoice price, it is impossible
to foresee ; but when we complain of tea being
too dear, it is really nothing to the purpose to
reply that there are countries where it is far too
cheap. Nor is it fair to compare the retail
selling prices in other countries with the prices
of tea in bond in London, because, as we have
before shown, the weight of the ad valorem
duty is attributable altogether to the prevalent
high prices; consequent!,-, i. is a fallacy to lay

If any one believes ti

of the

wards of 100 per cent., as is exhibited in the
above account, he may also give credence to the
allegation that tea would never be cheaper than
at present. It seems extraordinary that the
Company should suffer pamphlets to be put
forth in their defence, and evidently under their
indirect sanction, containing such overwhelming
proofs of the necessity of a change. The Di-
rectors are individually men of high honour, and
most of them of strong sense : why then do they
not adopt a course more straightforward and
candid, than to suffer this underhand sort of de-
fence to be carried on of a system which, all
attempts to bolster up, only tend to convince
the public the more clearly of its intrinsic im-
policy if not injustice ?

Despatches were received at the Foreign-
office this morning from the British Minister at

state, that at length the Spanish Government have
published the new Code of Commerce, which has
been kept back for these three months past, and
which is to go into force on the Ist of January next.
Accounts from Corfu state that two English regi-

The Consol Market, which left off on Saturday
very firm, opened this morning at the same price,
92/ for the present, and 92i 93 for January ac-
count; but the French Eentes having come higher
by the Express this morning, and there being an
indication that on the settling day of Consols there
will be a scarcity of stock, owing to the Hebrew
party holding firm the large amount they are already
in possession off, has caused a further improvement
in the Market, and Consols may be quoted at pre-
sent at 921 for this time, and 93i ± for January.
