Despatches were this day received at the Foreign Officio
from Lord STVAST DI ROTIISAY at Paris ; and from
Sir CHARLES BAGOT at the Haghe.

This afternoon at two o'clock the Kiwo held a Privy
Council at Windsor Castle, at which his MAJTSTY'S
Speech for the opening of Parliament on Thursday next,
1 and other matters of national importance, ware taken into
consideration.

The Morning Journal and Times have copied the lull'
portant fact announced exclusively by us yesterday

—we allude to the resignation of the Earl of Mouwr-
CHARLES as a Lord of the Treasury—without any ac-
knowledgment as to the SOMA of their information.
The following sentence was added to the announcement

in the Tinges—" WHETHER HE HAS RESIGNED OR

HAS BEEN DISMISSED, MUST BE A MATTES OF IN,

DIFFERENCE TO EVERT BODY BUT HIS LORDSHIP."
Without referring to the ill-natured and ungenerous
tendency . of this sarcasm, the truth of which we
flatly deny, it shall be our business to prove to
the. Times that, so far from the resignation of this
young Nobleman being a " matter of indifference,"
it is of great public importance at the present moment,
when we see so many individuals of the same exalted
class abandoning pure principle, and coalescing with ar-
bitrary power. In order that the country may jadge
between us and the Times, we state, without fear of con-
tradiction, that the real motive of this resignation has
arisen in the determination of Lord MOUNTCHARLIS to
maintain that independence of character by which he has
always been so distinguished. We should honour the
Noble EARL at any time for such high:miaded conduct,
but we do so more especially, at the present crisis, when
it is by such firmness that England can alone be saved
from the perils which- menace her on every side from
within and without. The pecuniary sacrifice made by
Lord MOVNTCHARLBS on this occasion—and we know
that the emolument which he has abandoned was
of great consequence to the Noble EARL—will be
simply repaid by the applauding voice of his coun-
try. Having said thus much, we shall merely
Odd, as the most probable among the rumours at the
west end of the town, that the misunderstanding which
has led to his Lordship retiring, occurred during a recent
visit of the Noble Dust toWindsor. We have already had
occasion to notice the superior foresight and political tact
which enabled our most gracious SOV gaIION to detect
the impolicy of erecting a• mmaerchy in Greece, and
of putting the Crown on the head of Prises -ten-
liot.n. We stated two days ago that the ideaLe:
'eh* Crown bad been abandoned. •We can
assure our readers that this abandonment . itf
tirely due to the resolution of the liss‘A. •

not give his judgment lhougt,l4l, -CAW
Cabinets had agreed to the terms of the last Protocol.

By this act alone, the KING of En,gland, has proved
himself a better politician and statesman than all his Mi-
nisters put together. That his MAJESTY was always
superior to those who have held power on the Continent
during the last fifteen years, we never doubted. After this,
We shall only add, that if Lord MOUNTCHAULES has
shown a greater readiness to acquiesce in the opinion of
the Kum, than might be pleasing to the Noble DUKE,
he has set an example of public spirit which will not be
lost on the class to which he belongs—and of patriotism,
which ensures him the applause of his country.

Mrs.

Another County Meeting has been held at Northwich,
Cheshire, attended by a large concourse of Magistrates,
Members of Parliament, and the most influential persons
of the district. Mr. EDWARD DAVENPORT opened
the business of the day in a speech of consider-
able animation, remarking by the way, that
when Whigs, Tories, and Radicals afforded—
as they did on that occasion a spectacle of
close union and harmonious co-operation, the cause
which united them must indeed be cogent ; and the
Meeting might be sure that it was high time,
now, for all classes in the country• to combine,
and endeavour to save themselves from destruction.
Mr. DAVENPORT finished by moving a string of spirited
resolutions, which were instantly opposed by Lord Ds-
LAMER; "as not being sufficiently respectful, and as
being calculated to cast aspersions upon his MAJESTY'S
Ministers." If we were inclined 'to be plea-
sant on so serious a matter, the grounds of
my Lord Dasutzat's objection to these Resolu-
tions would furnish rich materials for jocularity : as
it is, we cannot afford to waste more ink and paper on this
Lord, than to chronicle here our reprehension of such a sy-
cophant example, satin such a crisis, by a man in such
a station. These are not the spirits, who will con-
tribute to save the country : scarcely do they deserve
to be saved with it, for the repulsive antipathies which
they lose no opportunity to exhibit, whenever the redress
of its grievances, or political amelioration, is the theme.
We have always thought favourably of Mr. EDWARD
DAVENPORT ; but in this instance it is impossible
not to regret that he should have suffered himself to be
superseded by a person like Lord DELAMERE, and per-
suaded to forego his own popular and independent re-
monstrances, for the breakfast-table inanities of an in-
competent and parasitical Aristocrat.
The men of Birmingham understand better, both the
crisis and the remedy ; but the news of that bright ex-
ample has yet scarcely reached all the extremities of
the empire. When the publicity of that federation is
completed, there is no, physical nor moral force of suffi-
cient power to prevent the universal adoption of its
principle.

Years.

It would appear that the naval armament continues
with increased activity at Toulon, and a correspondent
of the Messager des Chambres talks of the great events
which are about to take place in the Levant. We
think, as we said before, that all these preparations
look very much like a wish on the part of the French
Ministers, to draw aside public attention from themselves.
If Algiers be the object, we should not be in the least
surprised at the failure of any attempt against that place,
by a French force. Such are the efforts which have
been made for its defences since the attack of Lord
EXMOUTH, that it may now be considered as impreg-
nable, if properly defended. The DEE has, besides,
been stimulated to new exertions during the three years
in which be has been laughing at the French blockade,
one of the greatest absurdities of M.H Y D E DE NEUVILLE,
and soi-disant liberal colleagues. Whatever may be the
result of this quarrel, it is a fact no less ludicrous than
true, that a handful of Janissaries, with a barbarian at
their head, has defied the whole power of France for three
years !

Private letters of a recent date from Cadiz are now be-
fore us, which communicate several important facts.
Among these, we have to notice that on the 7th of last
month the authorities of Cadiz despatched a deputation
to Madrid, offering to Government to contribute a levy
of one thousand soldiers, clothed and armed at the ex-
pense of the town, to aid in a second expedition for the
reduction of Mexico. Our correspondent states further
the belief was general that the other provinces of
Spain would follow the example of Cadiz. At the same
time, naval preparations, on an extensive scale, were go-
ing forward. The French Government had just sold to
Spain four frigates, four brigs, and four schooners of
war, at the sum of three hundred ihousancipounds ster-
ling. The Royal Marine were also paid up to the month
of June ; and on the 14th of December, a Spanish
packet had sailed for the Haiannah with one hundred
and seventeen soldiers. On the occasion of the Kt tio's
marriage there had been great promotions of the marine
officers ; and this eventhad been universally celebrated with
the greatest demonstrations of joy. No lees than

100,000 foreigners—chiefly persons of distinction—had
flocked into Madrid, to witness the arrival of the new
QUEEN, and to join in the public amusements ; and up-
wards of twelve thousand dollars were expended by the
authorities at Cadiz hi festivities on the interesting owe-
sion. As we stated in a former notice, we fled that
the state of trade in Gibraltar had been in the most
wretched condition—many merchants having quitted
town, with the intention of establishing themeelvse • •
Cadiz. Silver coin had become scarce ; and a person
changing the gold doubloon of sixteen dollars, bad to paY
mu shilling premium.

We to-day exhibit a complete view of the extent of the
eseissercial operation in Great Britain in Foreign Grain,
idiring the year 1829. As we anticipated, the Wheat

The above statement, however, after all, exhibits but a
partial view of the occasional dependance of Great Bri-
tain upon external sources for a supply of subsistence.—
If a comparison of the supply from Ireland, since 179 q,
be taken into account, it will prove that the foreign suo -
ply in 1829 regarding the supply from Ireland as foreign,
has very considerably exceeded that of any former year,
as the following etatement of the supply from Ireland in
corresponding years will show. In 1800 and 1801, none.
