_ (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)
VIENNA; Nov. 15.—1 t is said that Prince Met-
ternich is on the point of changing his political sys-
:tem; having become sensible that the important eir-
c7—._ cumstifiices induced by the treaty of Adrianople re-
•, • quire_ very different measures from those which were
employed at the time when the Emperor Alexander
was at the head of the Holy Alliance. The new
ideas of Prince Metternich arc ascribed to a strong
but frank and kind remonstrance which an ancient
diplomatist has addressed to him on the present
state of Europe. Without being able to warrant
the correctness of this fact, it is, however, interest-
ing to know what some persons in high offices say
of this change in the Prince. They pretend that
he is endeavouring to gain the Cabinet of London to
assent to the absolute affranchisernent of the Greeks,
with the free choice of their form of government.
On the other hand, according to the same state-
ments, M. de Metternich will propose to the Cabi-
nets of the great Powers to make an unanimous de-
claration to the Government of Portugal, tending to
put an end to the disorder which has been too long
tolerated in that unhappy ceuntry, finally to arrange
its differences with the Emperor of Brazil, and to
give a guarantee to the nation that it shall hence-
forward be governed only by the laws and good
order.

Lastly, what will appear to you the most incre-
dible, M. de Metternich intends to impress on the
French Government, that tile Great Powers being
guarantees of the legal order established in France
by the Charter, these Powers, in case that order
should be disturbed by the new Ministry, would be
obliged to interfere to secure the stability of a legal
system.
What are we to think of such a reso ution ?
This tardy return to a system adapted to circum-
stances appears too reasonable for us to believe that
M. de Metteinich has adopted it; but it is asserted
that he is determined to try every thing, in order to
reconcile himself with public opinion. v Perhaps he
has received news from St. Petersburgh, which has
informed him that the Emperor Nicholas is by no
means disposed to grant to the Cabinets of Vienna
and London to interfere in his relations with the
Porte ; that he is willing to do his utmost that the
Porte may ensure the liberty of commerce, pro-
vided they agree with Russia to grant to the Greeks
a political existence which will enable them to help
themselves in case of need. Perhaps, too, Russia
has made proposals to Austria which would be more
profitable to that power, than an inconsiderate per-
severance in the system of Wellington. At all
events, we may be sure that the most important in-
terests are now the subject of the communications
between the several Cabinets, and that each Minister
considers the interests of his own country ,rather than
the wishes of its allies.

PAS►s, Nov. 27.—While the public funds conti-
nue to rise, the produce of the revenue also increases.
The last month, compared to the same month of
1827, shows an increase of 3,000,000, and it is be-
lieved that there will be a considerable augmentation
also in this month.
Will the liberal journals please to explain to us
why, daring the eight months of this year, the pro-
duce continually diminished, and why it has progres-
sively increased since the formation of the new
ministry ?
All the Journals of the faction, the Conslitutionnel,
the Debats, and the Courier, the Journal du Com-
merce, the Tenths, &c., have agreed to disseminate
all over France the same alarming reports. This
coincidence is a remarkable circumstance, as well as
the identity of the reports that are mentioned. A
Royal declaration, modifying or abolishing the char-
ter, tl►e employment of the military force, the armed
intervention of Europe, a change ►n the representa-
tive system,—these are the odious lies with which
anxiety and alarm are excited in people's minds,
when it is perceived that they are beginn►ng to grow
calm, and to understand the real state of things.
This infernal manoeuvre, which must come from
a centre giving the impulse, is one of the most cri-
minal that can be employed. The magistrates have
prosecuted Acts less criminal. To disturb the public
tranquillity,—to excite in the nation distrust of
royalty,—to calumniate the intentions-of the King,
—to shake the confidence and the zeal of the public
functionaries,—to check business and speculations,
—to throw a whole nation into anxiety,—lastly, to
falsify public opinion, and to alienate the electors
from the Government, in order to enable them to
adopt every thing factious that the country contains,
—such is the immediate result of these sinister re-
ports, forged in the ateliers of the revolution.
Is ►t necessary for us to contradict them ? Do
they not confute themselves in the minds of all ho-
liest men, by the impure source from which they
emanate ? They were designed to excite public in-
dignation, but will fall with its whole weight on the
guilty authors of these infamous falsehoods.
