Private letters, dated the 3d December, from Rio, just
received by the Brazil packet, and on which we are in-
duced to place the utmost reliance, state that a change of
Ministry was on the point of taking place. All we have
been able to collect relative to the new nominations is,
'that the Marquis of BARBACEN A was named Minister of
Finance, and that M. CA LmoN comes to England as the
Brazilian Envoy. A frigate was fitting out to bring the
EMPEROR'S second daughter to France for her educa-
tion. She will land at Brest. Among the passengers in the
Princess Elizabeth is M. VIDEOAL and suite. This
gentleman is said to enjoy the particular confidence and
personal friendship of Don PEDRO.
The loan contracted by the Marquis of BARBACEN A
previous to his departure from London, has been fully
confirmed by the Emperor.

We re-publish to-day, in one compact and consecutive
form, the six letters of SIDNEY, which appeared at short
intervals in this Paper. The interest, which the subject
matter of these letters is calculated to inspire—without

any reference to the style, or author of them—would
alone amply justify in us their so early re-production in
the same columns, as to be quite a departure from edi-
torial usages. But that interest, which their subject
matter alone inspires, deepens in the reader's bosom into
an almost incontrollable sensation, when he reflects that
these patriotic and magnanimous sentiments—these
loyal appeals, half supplicatory, half warning, to the
FATHILA, of his People—these courageous attestations of
the pristine'principles of the Constitution, emanate from
one of the highest Noblemen, and certainly one of the
purest spirits, in the realm. We know the intense feel-
ing which their perusal has already excited, in quarters
where their distinguished authorship has been unknown :
what, then, will not be the deep and augmented interest
which they shall to-day create, when it is understood
that they swell an already large debt of ancestral gra-
titude? When it is understood that the descendant of
one of England's most illustrious and renowned Sons, is
the inditer of these compositions ? But we will not
weaken their effect—after this disclosure—by dividing
attention between ourselves and them.

The Times is an old tactitian, we are well aware ;
but either he much overrates his own powers of delusion,
or greatly underrates the sagacity of Sir FRANCIS
BURDITT, if he fancies that a vulgar jeer—such as that
which he has permitted himself this morning—
and a cant application of the term radicalism, can,
weigh aught against the long experience and
sound political decision of the Honourable Baronet, in
the career which be has determined to pursue.
As to the manner in which the Times has
treated the splendid example of purity set by Lord
BLANDFORD to the House of Commons, and the asper-
sions which he has thrown on the Honourable and
Learned Member for Clare, they are too identical with
the style and spirit of our contemporary, to excite
surprise, or indeed any emotion whatever. We all know,
that whenever it suits the malignity of that Journal to
misrepresent, or defame, slander and false accusation to
him are as congenial as mother's milk. And what does
the bass WILLLINGTON satellite mean by radicalism, if
he employs it thus to disgust or terrify ? Is he prepared
to contend that the time is not yet arrived, when the
canker which corrodes the State ought to be cut away
every root and fibre! Does be mean—addressing him-
self to anile, or imbecile prejudices—to revive in society
the old bug-bear, with which a corrupt faction frightened
it twelve years ago ? Let him spare himself the pains :
we understand now too well the meaning of the term
radical, and the country lies bleeding from too many
arteries, not to court the application of such a stanching
principle.
The venality and corruption of the Times newspaper—

which so many people even yet NOM to view with asto-
nislunent—is, in our opinion, traceable to very simple
causes : and those PAINS all lying within a very small
comps's, namely, the Stock Exchange. If our con-
temporary were capable of giving a candid answer on
such an occasionrwe world ask him whether his extensive
jobbing in the. doves and/burs does not imperatively chain
him down to an abominable advocaciss--the desertion
of which, would be ineurious to his money speculations ?
It * terrible to see the flagitiousness of our public men,
but **venality of the public press is even a yet more
calamitous contemplation. For if public men Gould only
be placed in awe etipablic opinion—if, whenever they

stood up to vindicate abuses and oppressions, they had
'before their eyes the salutary fear of honest and indig-
nant censors—they would be more pure in the discharge
of their high services to the State. But it is their secu-
rity from exposure, and their removal from popular re-
sponsibility, through the connivance of a dishonest press,
which makes their general corruption so deep and ulce-
rous. For it is immediate impunity which makes men
knaves. The distant and problematical discovery of his
delinquency seldom restrains either the public or private
thief, forgetful—in his intentness upon the spoil—

How rarely Janus, In her tramp,
Lets off the anteceding scamp!

r Since we last addressed our readers, our ears have been
open to all the various opinions and judgments which
rare yet floating about society, concerning the closing
'phenomena of Friday night's debate; and we are com-
pelled—in our character of impartial narrators of fade
and feelings—to state that one universal sentiment of
congratulation and approval predominates. Men begin to
feel that a new era is dawning upon them : that regene-
ration renovation —redintegration —not the idle,
lacknied, and much bedaubed thing, called " Reform"—
is at length bursting into existence, bringing with it its
concomitant blessings, and hastening to cherish with its
genial influence the fast decaying interests and drooping
energies of their once happy country. And why, it may
be asked, do men so reason t Why do they draw such deduc-
tions from the present aspect of the political horizon ? The
answer supplies itself. When the nation sees presented
to its admiring notice such a spectacle, as the House of
Commons afforded on Friday night—a spectacle so
unusual in these times, as one of its highest Aristocrats
denouncing the corruptions of the Aristocracy, and
throwing himself into the scale of the People, to be
a barrier between them and his own encroaching Order—
how can the commonest observer hesitate to interpret
such a sign ? The People have been down-trodden so
long, only because they had no leader to undertake their
defence : now, they have found a champion, and all
doubt of their certain and signal redress is dispelled.
It is true, there is no lack of a party to pour out
abundantly the phials of its wrath and disappointment
over the Noble MARQUIS : a party, that stickled not to
characterise his manly perseverance in dividing the House,
as " most unparliamentary usage"—and which even
went so far as to threaten him with the loss of its support
on the eighteenth, if he did not withdraw his amendment.
This party objects to the Noble MARQUIS, that he has
injured the great cause, and that—by his precipitancy—
he has forced many to resolve to vote against any
measures, which he may propose to the House !
Throats, calumnies, and injurious expressions like the
foregoing, are rife in the mouth of these disinter-
ested and trustworthy patriots; who deem no vitupe-
ration too coarse to be heaped upon the Noble LORD,
because he persisted in his determination to show
the country who were really worthy to be trusted
by it. Of the conduct of one Honourable Member
for Westminster—had we not long since learned to

temper our politics with philosophy—it would be difficult
to speak in measured terms : but of counts, he has made
up his mind to sit in future for some place, that more
congenialises with his unpopular principles. Joux
CAM Hoanousz can never stand up again in Covent-
garden, and confess to his inquiring Constituents that he
voted against the amendment, to keep the Duke of
WELLINGTON in power. Yet, it is notorious that
he has given this reason for his vote. As to Mr.
BROUG AM—though he supported the KNATCHIUJL
amendment according to his own avowal, with great
pain and reluctance--it is well known that he
entreated many on his side of the House to save
the Minister, by voting for the Address. But we will
not farther soil our columns, by dwelling on the corrupt
associations, intrigues, delinquencies, and abominations,
which have been brought to light in these opening
discussions.

This conduct of the Party—as it calls itself—towarat
the administration, accounts more than sufficientlr for its
virulence and hostility to Lord BLANDIVAD. In the
Noble MA RQVIS.B purity, it sees the accusing record of
its own corruptions. Its first attempt, therefore, is to
discourage, and—failing in that—to blacken the cha-
racter of one, whose intention it knows to be so sincere
and whose views to be so much purer than its own. But
those who look askance at their new and formidable rival,
regarding him with ill concealed envy and jealousy,
deceive themselves, if they hope to blind the country
to the true motives, which have induced them to
stand aloof from this popular and incorruptible nobleman.
In the mean time, it is a solecism In the politics of 1830,
worth recording, that a military Tory Ministry is indebted
for its conservation of place to the adhesion of about forty
Whigs.

A public meeting was held in Dublin on Thursday hat.
