LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 11, 1829.

The change of Ministry in France, which we
announced yesterday to our readers, has been
confirmed. For particulars on this important
subject we refer our readers to the extracts
which we have given from the Moniteur, in
which they will find the fullest information. The
Prince de POLIGNAC, it seems, is to be the
new Prime Minister, a Statesman who brings ta-
lent, experience, and discretion to his task. His
plans, so far as they are at present known, are in
accordance with those of England. It is sup-
posed that he will use his best endeavours, in
conjunction with the British Cabinet, to pro-
cure the restoration of peace between Russia and
Turkey, and the legitimate independence of
Greece. He has expressed also, in the Chamber
of Peers—a circumstance to which we referred
at the time—his earnest wishes in favour
of the continuance of a representative form
of Government, of a tolerant, enlightened,
and impartial nature. As a man of the world,
and one who knows " the value,"—to quote the
language of the Duke of WELLINGTON on a
recent occasion—" of a good character," the
Prince will not fail to act in accordance with
the spirit of this declaration, and if so, he
will secure to himself the respect of his country,
and the good wishes of Europe. We should
not omit to mention that one good feature in the
new Ministry, is the appointment of the Baron
de MONTBELL (a layman) to the Secretaryship
of State for the Department of Ecclesiastical
Affairs and Public Instruction. This augurs
well ; Ecclesiastics are seldom well calculated for
the discharge of State duties, and the more they
are restricted to their own particular avocations,
the better.

Letters from Ostend to the 28th April state,
that the loan last raised by the Emperor DON
PEDRO would be payable in Europe, and that
upon this fund the Emigrants would be main-
tained, and the affairs of Portugal managed.
Many superior Portuguese officers, who were
refugees there, had received letters from Rio, in
which they were assured that the EMPEROR
would never abandon their cause, or that of his
daughter.

Letters from Bourbon to the 29th April state,
that there were a great number of vessels there,
and that freight was falling every day.

The Cadiz Papers received this morning state,
that the expedition from the Havannah had
been ordered to possess itself of the province of
Merida de Yucatan. The duty paid at the
gates of Cadiz on Wine, vinegar, brandy, and
other liquors, porter included, had been reduced
to ten reals the arroba.

By the Hamburg steamer, which arrived this
morning, we have received Hamburg Papers
to Friday last. The following are extracts :

HAMBURG, Auc. 7.—BonsEzi-lIALLE, FOUR P.M.—
In Wheat few purchases have been made during the week,
except fur exportation, and even these have been extremely
limited. This has been chiefly owing to the high prices
demanded by holders, and from which they do not at pre-
sent seem disposed to make any abatement. The arrivals
during the week are stated at 218 lasts ; exportations at
274. The demand fur Rye continues limited to the wants
of our own consumers. The continuance of rainy wea-
ther has tended to maintain prices. Oats, if of good qua-
lity continue of easy sale: Some new Rapeseed made its
appearance in the market, and was quickly bought up

at the prices quoted below.—During the last seven days
Of July, 119 cargoes of corn passed through the Sound ;
40 were bound for British, 45 for Dutch, 11 for French,
and 15 for Swedish and Norwegian ports ; 1 was bound
for Hatnburg, 2 for Leghorn, and of the remaining 5 the
destination was unknown.

ST. PETERSBGRGH, JOLT 27 —We have just received
intelligence of new and brilliant victories gained by the
army of the Caucasus on the 30th of June (2d July, N.S.)
An Extraordinary Supplement to the Tiflis Gazette of
10th July, contains the following report :
"On the 26th June the corps of the Caucasus effected
most difficult movement over the steep and wooded sum-
mits of the Saganlu mountains, where the enemy hoped
to detain us, but was deceived in his intentions by a skil-
ful manoeuvre. While our left wing made a feigned attack
on the Turkish camp, the corps effected its passage on the
right side, marching by another road, and took a position
in sight of the enemy's flank. On the 29th, 1,600 Turks
approached our position, and took possession of some stone
entrenchments, from which they were driven by Major-
General Baron Frederiks, with the loss of 100 prisoners
and .one standard. The Commander-in-Chief, seeing that
it was impossible to attack the enemy with advantage in
the positions he bad taken on the flank of his camp,
resolved completely to turn it. On the 30th of
June he marched with all his baggage, and the
next day fell in with the enemy, who prepared
to attack him. It was the Seraskier himself who, as we
afterwards learned from prisoners, hail come to support
Hagki Pacha, whose troops occupied the entrenched
camp. The Commander-in-Chief having by a skilful
manseuvre rendered it impossible for Hagki to come to the
support of the Seraskier, attacked the latter it; the course
of the day, and defeated him : he pursued hint for 30
wersts, and repulsed him beyond the Saganlu mountains.
On the 2d of July, after a march of 15 wersts, on a road
which presented the greatest obstacles, over the ridge of
the mountains, General Paskewitsch attacked the camp of
Hagki Pacha in the rear. As all the communications
with the Seraskier were wholly cut off, his army was to-
tally defeated, driven 30 wersts from the camp, and he
himself taken prisoner. In these two actions, the first of
which was near the village of Kainli, and the second near
a place called Milliduse, two Turkish corps, the one of
30,000, the other of 20,000 men, were entirely
defeated in the space of twenty-four hams; all their
art'llery, consisting of 31 pieces of cannon, their
ammunition and provisions, two camps, one of which was
fortified, nearly 1,500 prisoners, and 119 At-I.:dards were
taken. Pacha Ilagki himself fell into the hands of our
victorious troops. The loss on our side was not consider-
able. This news was brought by Prince Dadianow, Aide-
de-camp of Count Paskewitsch. He left the head-quar-
ters, on the sth instant, near Ardassee, 60 wersts (40
English miles) from Erzeroum. Count Paskewitsch was
still in pursuit of the enemy."
COPENHAGEN, Auo. 4.—The marriage of their Royal
Highnesses the Crown Princess and Prince Ferdinand took
place on the Ist inst.

German Papers have been received ; the only
point they contain worth notice is, that the regu-
lar troops in Smyrna, about 1,500 in number,
have received orders to go to Constantinople :

CANEA, JUNE 11.-The secret object of the President
of Greece, in his measures with regard to this island, is to
cause such difficulties and embarrassments that the Allied
Powers, being tired out with the eternal confusion, may at
length concede what he cannot obtain otherwise. Unhap-
pily he is but too successful in rendering the unhappy si-
tuation of the island more complicated. The French brig
Alcyone, Lieutenant Dubourdiett, is come to relieve the
Yolage. The Commander, like his predecessor, desired to
have a conference with Captain Hann, the delegate of the
President of Greece to the Council of Crete. This confe-
rence took place on the Sth, in the village of Calives. The
French Commander announced the speedy arrival of the
English Ambassadors at Constantinople, by whom the fate
of Crete would he determined, and that a cessation of hosti-
lities was much to be desired. Captain Hann replied that
it was not in his power to make any engagements on this
subject; that the Greeks were under several chiefs,
who carried on war on their own account, and listened to
his remonstrances only when they approved of them ; that
an armistice was not desirable for the interests of the Greek
insurgents, because only the contest preserved in them the
love of their country and of liberty.
16.—The remonstrances of the Officers sent suc-
cessively to this station by Admiral Rosamel appear to
have had an effect. The bloodshed has ceased, an ar-
mistice de facto exists, and though the two parties retain
their positions, some communications take place between
them, which manifest less acrimony than usual, and rather
a wish on both sides for a reconciliation. Count Capo
d'lstria, however, has hitherto replied to positive proposals
by vague declarations only. Suleiman Pacha requested
the Commander of the Alcyone to invite the Greeks to go
to several cities of Crete to trade, and to procure the pro-
visions which they cannot get on their mountains. He pro •
lathed them entire security. These beneficent offers were
laid before the Council of Crete. A Papa answered—
" The Cretans want for nothing; Greece supplies them
with all things in abundance. They cannot, and will not,
conclude any arrangement with the Turks. They have
taken up arms to conquer their freedom, and will never
lay them down again. They will sooner die than yield.
If they have no bread, they will feed on the roots which
grow on their mountains." This is not the first time that
the Council of Crete has held this language. The mission
of the French Officers is confined to attempts to effect a re-
conciliation, and has already done much good. Fort Ca-
rabousa is commanded by 31. Fouche d'Aubigny, a French
Officer in the Greek service.

The snne Paper, of the 27th of June, says the English
naval officer (Captain Hinchett), who was going to enter
the service of the Sultan, has not been able to agree with
the Ministers of the Porte on the terms of his appoint-
ment, and is going to return to England, and had arrived
at Smyrna. The regular troops in Smyrna, about 1,500
in number, have received orders to go to Constantinople.
SYRA, JuNe Kalergi, the Extraordinary
Commissioner of the island, resigned his post to the gene-
ral regret of the inhabitants, as during the short time he
has filled it he has given numerous proofs of justice and
disinterestedness.

Nnrces, Joty 26.—Lieut.-Gen. Muffling, accompa-
nied by two aide-de-camps, has embarked here on board
a Neapolitan man of war for Smyrna, whence it is said lie
will go to Constantinople. It is true there is a Mr. Fon-
ton here, but there is another person of the same name at
the Russian head-quarters. _ _ .

VIENNA, JutY3l.--Aletalliques, ; Bank Shares,
136.

The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND, we per-
ceive, has issued a proclamation, offering a re.
ward for the apprehension of some Ribandmen
concerned in the late murder of one, and the
wounding of six other Brunswickers, three of
whom have since died. This proclamation is a
very proper and just proceeding on the part of
the LORD LIEUTENANT. It is in a strict
spirit of impartiality, and cannot fail to please all
parties equally. All that Ireland desires to see,
all that she at present stands in need of, is fair
play. She is anxious to see justice done both
to Orangeman and Papist. She asks no ascen-
dancy of faction ; she wishes not to see the
Papal power rise on the ruins of the Protes-
tant, for she feels that such supremacy in-
stead of healing, cannot fail to protract the
sufferings of her country. Hitherto justice has
been a luxury enjoyed only by the privileged few
in Ireland. It has been tainted deeply with the
leaven of party, arrayed in the insignia of

„i
Orangeism. Surely it is high time to cad
sio
these odious distinctions, from the remoo
which—and the Duke of NORTHUMBERO,
seems inclined to adopt the experimental
greatest and most lasting blessings may be e
pected to accrue to the sister island.

We recommend our readers' attention t°'
trial for murder, which took place yesterM
at Bury St. Edmund's, and is inserted to 0;
columns of to-day. This trial—which by d
way is remarkably well reported in the 7'ilsej 1
this morning—is one of the most affecting al'i
extraordinary of any that ever yet took place i°,l
Court of Justice. Its effect upon all %Ili° `jl
nesscd it seems to have been proportio"dt,'
great. The Counsel on either side were 0101
pathetic, and supplicating; the Judge (Bat
GA a now) was all but in tears ; the Jury sce
overwhelmed with grief ; those inside the 01
were weeping, and those outside were 60'441
Altogether it was a scene more like what 011
reads in the last volume of a sentimental luce'
tale than any thing that transpires in real life
li
The denouement of the catastrophe is still rfi°
extraordinary, for whatever may be the gral'C;
expedients to which love—ever fertile in ifivelji
tion—occasionally compels his victims to 1161 i,
