DUTCH PAPERS.

HAGUE, JUNE 2.—Great exertions are making in
the office of the Minister of Finance to draw up the
new scheme for the Decennial Budget, which is to
be laid before the Second Chamber of the States-
General. It is said that most considerable retrench-
ments will be found in it ; and we hear that his
Excellency has already proposed as one means of
economy, a deduction of 10 per cent. from the sala-
ries of all persons in office throughout the kingdom,
without distinction, from the highest to the lowest ;
a measure which, if it is adopted, will, it is said, ef-
fect a saving of a million of florins.
HAMBURGH, MAY 29.—Letters from Christiania,
in Norway, say that the accounts respecting the oc-
currences on the 17th May vary extremely.

It seems that the number of Students who arrived
to celebrate the Anniversary of the Constitution of
Eithvold was not great ; but-that, among the crowd
that collected on the occasion, there were severul
persons belonging to the better class. It appears,
however, that nobody was seriously hurt. Some of
the inhabitants intended to send an address to the
King, in order to prevent ill-founded opinions on
the affair. _ _ _

The Estates of the Duchy of Brunswick have ex-
peeled to his Serene Highness the Duke their sor.

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENLNG, JUNE 10, 1829.

We direct attention to a letter inserted in our
columns of to-day, on the subject of Mr. CA-
VENDISH and his claims to the favourable
consideration of the Cambridge Electors. With
the spirit of the remarks contained in that letter
we cordially coincide.

It appears by the Dutch Mail that great exer-
tions are making on the part of the Minister of
Finance for effecting considerable retrenchments
in every department of the State. The mode he
proposes is simple, but not likely to be very
agreeable to those whom it will affect. It is said
that his Excellency has already proposed as one
means of economy a deduction of 10 per cent.
from the salaries of all persons in office through-
out the kingdom, without distinction, from the
highest to the lowest ; a measure which, if it is

adopted, will, it is said, died a saving of a mil-
lion of florins.

With a certain portion of the public press,
which honours—we beg pardon—which dis-

honours the Government with its servile sup•
port, it is the fashion to represent the pending
contest for the University of Cambridge as a
political conflict—a war between Whig and
Tory.

Puffing away from us these idle names, we
should be glad to ask the supporters of Mr.
BAKES, if they will specify any one political
principle, which is at issue in the struggle ? Let
them only state what is that line in politics
' which they even believe themselves to be main-
taining or countenancing by their promotion of

;he cause of Corfe Castle ; and we are content.

O yes ; their favourite " differed from Mini-
sters on the Catholic Question."—Be it so ; but
do not the same scribes inform us that, in the
present struggle, he enjoys the ardent support
of Ministers ?—And of what Ministers?—Why,
of that very Cabinet, which, according to Sir
CHARLES WETHERELL, Sir EDWARD
KNATCHBULL, Sir ROBERT INGLIS, and
all the other most conspicuous and influential
opponents of Catholic Emancipation, have
Iscarioted their names for ever by basely be-
traying that Protestant Establishment which
they were doubly and trebly sworn to defend !
What then is the nature of this contest, even
were it (what it is falsely called) political ?
Clearly it is a contest to accredit, to establish,
to restore caste to, that Government which for-
feited the favour of all staunch 'folks by passing
a law for Catholic emancipation.

The Tories of Oxford branded Mr. PEEL as
a traitor and an apostate. Those of Cambridge
are endeavouring to remove the stigma.
It is unnecessary for us to say that we are

uttering, not our own sentiments, but the sen-
timents which ought, in common consistency, to
he held by those who assume to themselves the
title of the Church and King Party.—We de-

fended and we applauded Mr. PEEL and the
rest of his Majesty's Ministers on the very occa-
sion which severed them from their Ultra friends.
We defend and we applaud them still. But
we say, this is not a political contest. It is one
which manifestly does not involve pOlitical consi-
derations ; and the very results which we have
shown to arise from supposing the contrary, con-
stitute a proof ex absurdo (the Sophs of Cam-
bridge will very well understand the term) of the
correctness of our position.
With regard to the sincerity of Mr. BA ICKES in
opposing Catholic Emancipation, we express no
doubts ; for insinuations against the motives of
individuals are hateful to us. But, when that
gentleman is proclaimed as a martyr to the
Anti• Catholic cause, this monstrous canoniza-
tion of a living subject does confer on us the
right of asking two plain queBtions ; to which
we request that some " Magnus Apollo" from
the Universities will favour us with equally per-

sincuous answers :-
1. Is NOT MR. BANEES NOW IN THE OFFICE WHICH

iE HELD AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SESSION?

2. HAS liE EVER BEEN OUT OF IT

The Orientals, it is well known, often talk of
true believers " drinking the sherbet of martyr.
dons."—And really, sherbet is a very pleasant
beverage!

The following are extracts from Germar
Papers, received this morning:—

CONsTAXTINOPLE, MAY 11.—Since the Porte is
certain that the English and French Governments
Avill send their Ambassadors here again, it plys more
attention to the negotiations, and wishes to excite
beforehand a conviction of its moderate sentiments.
When the Reis Effendi was informed that Mr. Robert
Gordon would come here as English Ambassador, and that
Count Guilleminot would return, he is stated to have said
to a foreign Dragoman, " Confidence is not placed in the
Porte in vain—it will justify it—it will endeavour to settle
all existing differences, and to prevent any cause of com-
plaint, which may snake the residence in Constantinople
disagreeable to the Ambassadors." The Mehmanders,
who are to receive the Ambassadors at the Dardanelles, are
already appointed, and preparations are making for their
reception. The military preparations are carried en with
rather less activity, and it seems as if the Porte felt itself
more secure from the approach of the two Ambassadors,
and thought the great dangers at which it lately trembled
more remote. The most distinguished diplomatic charac-
ters in Peraryne take this view of the Ottoman Ministry,
i❑ as much as they consider the integrity of the Ottoman
empire as secured by the re-establishment of the friendly
relations with England and Fiance, even supposing
the Russians to have the greatest success, and especi-
ally they believe that no hostile attempt will be made
upon the capital, so long as the Ambassadors of these
two powers reside in it. That the English and French
agents have great influence, is proved by the withdrawing
of the Russian men-of-war from the seas between Candia
and Boudaoun, by which the communication with Alex-
andria is free, and the blockade of Candia raised, contrary
to the wish of Count Capo d'lstria, who is said to have
received the news of the regulation with great regret, and
to have done his utmost to prevail on Admiral Heydest to
leave some ships to cruise off Candia. But the repre-
sentations of Admiral Malcolm seems to have had
more weight with Admiral Heyden, as he has arrived
with his whole squadron off Tenedos, and will com-
mand the blockade of the Dardanelles in person, while
Rear-Admiral Ricord, with one ship-of-the-line, two
frigates, and several brigs, is cruising on the coast of Ru-
tnelia. The Sultan is gone to Tarapia, to be near the fleet,
part of which, attempting to enter the Black Sea, was de-
terred by the appearance of a stronger Russian squadron.
Since then the Russian men-of-war remain constantly
cruising off the Channel, and do great damage, both on the
European and Asiatic coast. The Capitan Pacha, how-
ever, is said to have received positive orders to put to sea,
at all events, and it is supposed he will sail with the fist
fair wind. When the European Agents lately
paid a visit to the Capitan Pacha, on board his
Admiral's Ship, Baron Van Znylen, the Ambassador of
the Netherlands, suffered a severe coup de soleil, and is ill
in consequence. He now takes baths, and is expected to
recover. The French General Isloulet, who has arrived
here, engages the attention of our politicians. He was
presented a few days ago by M. Jaubert to the Reis Ef-
fendi, mad it is said that be has a special emmiesi.n ta

him. lie frequently visits the Austrian internunolo, and
is present at the reviews of the regular troops. The
arrival of a Persian Ambassador at Scutari is another sub-
ject of attention. It is said that he will conclude an
alliance with,,the Porte and then proceed to London.
We have no news from the Danube. The accounts from
Asia seem not to be favorable. Gen. Paskewitch is said
to have received great reinforcements, especially of artillery
and to be preparing to march against Erzeroum. We learn
from These ply that almost all the Albanians have returned
to their obedience. The supply of provisions for the
capital is regular, and no want is now felt. (We have
just received by express news from Constantinople of the
14th of Alay The removal of the head-quarters, and the
+standard of the Prophet, from Ramis Tchitlick to Tarapia,
took place with great solemnity on the 15th. No account
of operations on the Danube or in Armenia had been re-
ceived. The report of the arrival of a Russian negociator
in the camp of the Grand Vizier proved to be unfounded.)
VIENNA, MAY 29.—Metalliques, 951; Bank Shares,

By the Papers of thiS morning we perceive
that Lord STOURTON has put forth a sort of
apologetic statement of the reasons which in-
duced him at the last meeting of the British
Catholic Association to object to a vote of thanks
to Mr. O'CONNELL. These reasons—which
by the bye we do not very clearly comprehend—
are, to say the least of them, vague, indefinite, and
unsatisfactory. They are the reasons of a man
who seems to feel that he ought to say
something, but does not very well know how
to go about it. His Lordship observes that
his objection to the vote of thanks was
" grounded on the conviction, that from the mo-
ment the Relief Bill had passed, the Roman Ca •
tholics should no longer appear before the public in
any corporate capacity, but as dissolved into, and
blended with the general mass of their fellow sub-
jects." Assuredly they should, no one ever doubted
it for an instant, but what answer is this to the refusal
of certain of their party to vote thanks to Mr.
O'CONNELL—to that very individual by whom
their further existence in a corporate capacity has
been rendered unnecessary ? Why should their
last act be a resolution to pass over the services
of the man who has emancipated them ?
Would it not have been more graceful, more
creditable- to have characterized their dissolution
by avote expressive of their grateful recollection of
the past ? They met to go through the several
minutia✓ of business, to speak upon this, to en-
large upon that tt ifle ; why then did they forget—
or rather strive to forget—the only act that would
have conferred dignity on their last proceedings as
a body, the only one that would have entitled them
to a column in detail from the daily Journals?
Even in the more mechanical and common-
place relations of life, no firm or body ever
thinks of breaking up without at least discharg-
ing its legitimate debts ; but here we have an
instance of one or two Members of that lofty
and long-established firm, the British Catho-
lic Association, striving to dissolve partnership,
without paying even that most imperious of all
debts of honour, (to say nothing of justice) the
debt of gratitude, on a mere quibble, so shallow
—so very shallow, that if it do not create gene-
ral astonishment, it is only because it cannot be
generally understood.

THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.)

CITY. TtVET.rE Ctocr,

The Bank, Stock Exchange, and Foreign Mar-
kets are open this morning, but up to the present
time no business has been done, owing to the great
dearth of arrivals and information. Consols may be
quoted at the price they left off at yesterday on
Change, 88i for the account.
A Rio Janeiro Mail has been brought by the
Hains transport from Valparaiso, and on her way
home she touched at Rio Janeiro; the above trans-
port has on board the crew of the Dori 3 frigate,
which was condemned. The Mail she brings is of
an old date, the 23th March, which is anticipated
by accounts of the 6th April, received a few dais
since. There is great anxiety felt in the City for
the arrival of the Mexican Mail, which is some time
over due.
The Foreign Market is in the same state of stag-
nation as that of the British ; prices are nominal

The Consol Market remained steady, till within
a short period, at 88i j for the Account, since which
they have receded to 88- owing to the Saving
Banks having sold fifty thouslnd Consols, and other
sales having been effected. The Money Market is
also very heavy, as the scarcity of that article still
prevails. The Commissioners purchased in Rrduced
at 87i.
We are informed that Count Villa for with
eight or ten officers of his Staff have sailed to
Terceira to take the command of that island, who
are determined to defend it to the last extremity
against any attack from Don Miguel.
A strong report prevails at the west end of the
town, that some serious disagreement prevails again
amongst the Ministry, which causes great anxiety to
his Majesty.

Mr. HENRY WYNNE, the British Minister
at Copenhagen, arrived in town last night, and transacted
business at the Foreign Office.
THE KING'S COUNCIL.—HiS MAJESTY,
as we announced on Monday, held a Council this day, at
St. James's Palace, which was attended by all the Cabinet
Ministers, Great Officers of State, Judges, &c. &c. The
Duke of WELLINGTON and Mr. PEEL arrived in State.

We are authorised to state that Lord STOUR-
Totes reasons for thinking that thanks to Mr. O'CONNELL
were ill-timed, at a Meeting specially called for the disso-
lution of the British Catholic Association were grounded
on the conviction that, from the moment the Re-
lief Bill had passed, the Romsn Catholics should no longer
appear before the public in any corporate capacity, but as
dissolved into and blended with the general mass of their
fellow-subjects. This feeling had guided their judgment
in not addressing the Throne, in not thanking their Par-
liamentary friends, and Lord STotrazox thought it held
equally good for not expressing any vote of thanks to Mr.
O'CoiewsLa...—/Iforning Paper.

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY ELECTION.

Copy of a Letter to a Member of the Senate of
the University of Cambridge from ROBERT
GRANT, Esq., M.P., Fellow of Magdalene
College
MY DEAR SIR,

It would be presumptuous in me to expect
that any reflections which occur to me on the
subject of our expected Election could have the
effect of influencing your yet wavering decision.
I will, however, state very shortly the considera-
tions by which I have felt myself impelled to
adopt the cause of Mr. CAVENDISH, and will
leave it to you to estimate their force.
I beg to say that personal attachments can in
this matter have no place. I have never been
acquainted with the gentleman referred to, nor
with any member of his family.
I should observe also that, in the case of a
representation so peculiar as that of one of our
Universities, and of individual merit so emi-
nent as that of Mr. CAVENDISH, I am disposed
to attach less importance to the question respect-
ing the political opinions of the candidate, than
might fairly be exacted on ordinary occasions. It
is my belief that, if we elect Mr. CAVENDISH,
his public conduct will be marked by good sense
and moderation, by a steady and intelligent appli-
cation to business, and by a watchful regard to
the maintenance of our National Establishments.
For this belief a sufficient assurance is, I think,
afforded by the estimation which he generally
enjoys among those who know him, by his supe-
rior talents, by his studious and reflective habits,
and by the unimpeached regularity of his aca-
demic life.

Ills distinguishing merit, however, consists in
the assiduous diligence and brilliant results with
which he has cultivated the departments of
science peculiar to our University. Unlike the
greater number of young men of high rank and
connexion, he has devoted himself to a course
of Academic study in the spirit of a student by
profession. With a predilection still more rare,
he has selected as the principal objects of his atten-
tion those abstruse branches of knowledge which
Cambridge pursues with so much success and
celebrity. And, after a patient endurance in the
career which he had thus chosen, he has at length
borne away the most Exalted honors which his
University awards.
With this decided vocation to the studies pre-
eminently characteristic of the University of.
Cambridge, it is not, I conceive, inconsistent
with any just or constitutional view of the na-
ture and objects of parliamentary representation,
to assert that a fitter candidate for the dis-
tinction which he now seeks could scarcely
be found. In the course of the two cen-
turies during which we have enjoyed the elec-
tive franchise, we have often been creditably,
and even splendidly, but I question whether
we have ever been so appropriately, represented ;
and I own that, as an attached and faithful mem-
ber of the University, I should not without
jealousy witness the transfer of his services to
any other body of constituents.
I cannot help adding that the merits which I
have described as peculiarly belonging to Mr.
CAVENDISH, are such as may safely be in-
disparagement to
implying
gwever considerate.
asinsytedotiownr, wqiiitallmifiuctatiiomnpsl,y
Elsewhere, perhaps, he might be more than ade•
quately rivalled ; but at Cambridge I confess
that I should have expected his claim to be
deemed paramount. Among those to whom
the studies and the fame of the University are
dear, and especially among the resident members
of the Senate, I should have thought that no
canvassing would have been required ill support
of his pretensions, and that ill opposition to
them none would have prevailed.
I have the honor to be, my dear Sir,
Your's very faithfully,
ROBERT GRANT.
