but it is likewise evident that circumstances had produced an
impetus, that not even the utmost stretch of constitutional
vigour could entirely restrain. We sincerely hope, that
discretion in the present men, and a sober disposition in the
people, will not add any stimulus, where none is required.
The wise will be satisfied with little—knowing that much
will not be obtained, without set offs to its advantages, which
will be felt, and, w•e apprehend, not pleasureably, in the
present generation, from the cottage to the throne.
On the other great source of expected relief—retrenchment
of expenditure, and diminution of taxation—we have no
doubt much will be done to meet the expectations of the
public; but we are among those who think that the distresses
of the labouring classes of the community, do not at present
depend FO entirely on taxation, as to be removed by its
diminution.

We conceive there have been, and are other deeper rooted
causes at work, in our social policy, which have produced the
present difficulties. Although we arc decidedly of
opinion, that every government should be conducted
at the least possible expense, consistent with its
credit and efficiency ; and although we are likewise equally
decided in our opinion, that taxation should not be unne-
cessarily extended ; we are fully convinced, that all the eco-
nomy exacted, and all that in consequence can be reduced
of our taxation, without destroying our public credit, would,
if in operation for one twelvemonth, leave the distresses of
the labouring classes unalleviated.
What is to be done, must be done gradually ; and Govern-
ment should be supported by the good sense and patience of
the country, until circumstances and wise measures have
time to operate a change.

We call our readers' attention to the London Jurors Pe-
tition, in the front of our paper. The prayer of that Petition,
we are sure, will be supported by every man of humanity
and conscience in the kingdom.

We have some important amounts from Java this morn-
ing. The sultan of Solo was under confinement on board
the guard ship at Batavia. It is stated that the sultan, in-
censed at the capture of Depo Negoro, was arming his peo-
ple, with hostile intentions, when Colonel Nakings, the resi-
dent at Solo, seized him in his palace, and sent him a
prisoner to Batavia. This stroke of policy, it is said, had
long been contemplated by theßatavian govornment,and gives
them complete power over those states hitherto considered
independent, as the sultan was chief of all the native princes
of Java. The advices from the west coast of Sumatra give an
account of the capture of the town and fort of Tappinooly, by
Seedie Marra, who burnt the fort and govt. house, and the
Bazar. There were about 20 soldiers and followers in the
fort, Europeans and Sepoys. Three of the former were killed.
On this account reaching Padang,theDutchGovernment sent
a gun-boat and another vessel to seize the Chief, and on ar-
riving at Baroos, these vessels fired into the town, but
were driven off by the people. The whole coast from Natal
to Baroos, was in a state of confusion, and there was in con-
sequence a total stagnation of trade.

We have Singapore Papers to the 16th July. They con•
thin a census of the population of that settlement, as taken
on the Ist January, 1830. The number of males was 12,213,
of which 73 were Europeans ; of females, 4,421, of which
19 were Europeans, forming a total of 16,634. The Penang
Gazette, received by these advice., gives an abstract of the
trade of the three settlements for the year 1828-9 : the
imports of Singapore, during that period, are estimated as of
the value of 18,349,162 sicca-rupees ; and the exports at
16,868.335, making an excess in the imports of 1,481,627.
The imports of Penang 6,057,101 sicca•rupees ; and the
exports to 4,320,777, an excess of imports of 1,736,327.
Those of Malacca were, of imports 1,541,499 ; and of ex-
ports 937,450, being an excess of imports of 604,049. The
general total of the internal trade for the three settlements,
was, of imports 55,948,.565; and of exports 22,126,562,
being an excess of imports of 3,822,003.—His Majesty's
ship Southampton, Capt. Fislitu, had arrived at Penang
from Bengal.

CITY, ONE O'CLOCK.
Although we are now supplied with a pretty correct list
of the new Ministry, it has not had much effect on the
funds this morning, which at the opening of the market,
declined about per cent. In all such cases as a change in
the Ministry, public opinion differs ; but it will not be long
before their talents are brought into question ; and it is a
folly to condemn or extol their merits before they have had a
fair trial; but the general opinion is, that they will deserve
well of their country.
Consols left off on Saturday at 82i I, opened this morn-
ing at 821, and went down to 82 ; at present they are 821
for the account.

LivitnrooL, Nov. 20.—The import this week of cotton
is 1873 bags, and the sales reached 22-160 bags, including
2000 American, taken on speculation at an advance of i to I
per lb. In sugar, the transactions in British plantation
sugar this week are confined to 460 casks, at, in some in-
stances, lower prices. In foreign and East India nothing
has been done.

The steam-boat, Nageur, which left Algiers 4th Nov.
has arrived at Toulon with important despatches. The
Sphynx steamer has been sent to the Bey of Oran also with
despatches. General Clausel, on the 3d Nov. had a grand
review.

Accounts from Vienna state that Austria has formed a
Cordon Sanitaire on the side of Russia to prevent the cholera
morbue penetrating her states.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK
Nothing is thought of in the City but the new Adminis-
tration, and the general topic of conversation relates to the'
House of Lords this evening. It is expected that Lord
GREY will make some kind of exposi, in regard to the po-
litics of the new Ministers. It is believed that the Houses
will adjourn this night for a week. Report says, that the
first popular movement of the new Ministers will be the re-
Iduction of three or four millions of taxes ; but at present this
is only conjecture.
In the early part of the morning the Funds were looking
very heavy, and Consols were done at 82 for the Account.
This was attributed to the French Rentes cowing consider-
ably lower by the Express from Paris, also the state of
the country, in regard to the incendiaries; one of the
ringleaders, we are infcrmed, has been taken, of whom
limportant communication is expected.
Consols may at present be gamed at 821 for the Accoant,
and 83 1 for next time ; they have been done in the course
of the morning at 831,
In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing ; Spanish
Bonds 141 to 1.

Lord Granville is to succeed Lord Stuart de Rothsay, our
Ambassador at Paris, and Sir Frederick Lamb will return to
Madrid.
The Duke of Gordon has resigned the Great Seal of
Scotland.
We understand that Lord Fitsroy Somerset, as well as
Lord Hill, continues in his present situation. i

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE-EXCLUSIVE.
TO THE EDITiItTrF THE STAR.

PARIS, Nov. 20.
SI o.—Tbo last meeting of the Chamber affords nothing
of sufficient interest to make a paragraph in a letter ; and
of course, the particulars of what did take place, are before
1 you by the time this can reach your hands : nor are the
changes in the Ministerial arrangements of much more in-
terest. The appointment of the celebrated Soult, Duke
of Dalmatia, to be Minister of War, and the supersession
of Marshal Maison, by Gen. Sebastiani, are thought to be
changes, adding to the vigour and popularity of the govern-
ment. Marshal Maison was not so unequivocally of the
revolutionary school, having been employed under the abdi-
cated Monarch, to have much weight with the popular
party. It is said that he retreated from his new post with
disappointed feelings ; but as ho has since accepted the Em-
bassy to Vienna, the stories which you will find in the papers
onthe subject,do no tgain credit in respectable political circles.
The change, which appears now certain to take place, in
your ministry, occupies the attention here now, mush more
than the partial changes in our own ; and, perhaps, in some
degree, that subject may prove a favourable diversion to our
Government, who really require a little quiet rule, to make
those efficient errangements,which are necessary to the in-
terests of all Administrations. As your late Administration
had not developed any policy at variance to the principal of
non-intervention,except in the amicable way, it cannot be ex-
pected that any great effect can be contemplated on the foreign
relations of the country. There are not, however, wanting
politicians, who maintain a different opinion. There are those
who think the leaders of the republican party in Belgium,
are not unlikely to repudiate the acts of the Congress ;
and the retirement of M. POTTER from the Provi-
sional Government, is thought to augur an opinion, that
the preliminary terms proposed from London, will now at
once be rejected. I have seen a brochure, published at
Brussels, even before the change in your ministry was
known,entitled Le Tocsin Belgique, in which this ground is
decidedly avowed ; and although obscure, and without a
printer's name, it proves there are some who maintain that
view. The amicable intervention, although avowedly not
to proceed beyond amity, it is well known, had all the weight
of the suspicion arising from the well known old doctrine of
the parties : and now,when new men aro coming in, who even
blamed that moderate interference, some maintain that
the event will at once relieve the republican 'party, which
although not the most influential, aro the most numerous
body, from their apprehensions of foreign force being pos-
sibly in the distance.
The discussion of the laws of the press will now come be-
fore the peers; and the printers of all the leading papers
are preparing to urge their plea there. They are, you
may depend upon it, not conquered ; and only wait to take
the regular mode of redressing grievances. If the govern-
ment do not yield, in some respects, they will still, I think,
be a thorn in its side, which will produce much evil.
I am, Sir, yours, Sce.

We hope, as it has been pledged by our young Mini-
ster of the Interior, in his communication to the Bourse, that
the name of Lord Grey may be a guarantee for the peace of
Europe ; but, in spite of the confidence so decisive and so
prompt which has been expressed by the French Cabinet in
the presumed succession of Mr. Canning, and notwithstand-
ing the known leaning of the Noble Lord towards moderate
reform, we still recollect his conduct to Canning. We know
that, if be is the first man in the English Parliament, he is
also the most haughty, and we have ourselves but very re-
cently recorded his oath, to die upon his seat in defence of
the privileges of his order.—National.

M. de Montalivet deserves the thanks of his country,
for he has done that which is too often neglected—apprised
commerce, at the very earliest moment, of an event which
is calculated to have the most extensive effects upon public
credit. The English Ministry, then, is dissolved. Lord
Wellington, the chief of the Aristocracy of Europe, bas
seen Sovereign power slip through his fingers. Beaten
upon a question of vast importance, he has teen compelled
to retire. It was a complete parliamentary defeat ; or, rather,
the entire overthrow of a system of policy opposed to the in-
terests and views of England. His fall was not the result of
accident, it was the effect of the impulse which has been given
to the minds of Englishmen by our revolution of July. From
this moment all antipathy between the two people is consigned
to Its tomb. No more will the English be oppresed by that
ungenerous national prejudice, which was but too carefully
fostered by Governments inimical to liberty ; England will
now feel that the triumph of July was not for France alone ;
but that it is calculated to assist the progression of freedom
throughout the world. The ominous word intervention,'
which the English Ministry put into the mouth of the King,
was a mortal wound to that cause ; but the Wellington
Ministry has been broken up, and the joyful note of it's fall
will be re-echoed upon the Continent, as it is in England.'
