.ANOTIIER LETTER.

a PA It IS, OCT. 26. 181 5.

Y I perceive that as a good' Engii.hman, rictus-
onsed to plain dealing, in your admirahle and excel-
rent c‘,Bintry, you cannot imagine that the true centre
.. G-vernment. which Is composed of a Ministry.
► C amber of Peers, and a Chamber of Deputies,
:1:ould. be friend in a Wait, the number and nature
of which vary every day, v.s fires attCotdillg to the cir.
eumstances of the moment, and which derives, pre.
cisel y, from this fluctuation, the means of escaping the
notice of the greatrr part of observers. AS well as all
legal action and all t...spqnsibility. IsTltwithstanding
this, however; it does not exist in France, and this
coterie forma the secret Committee in which the real.
power resides.
66 Unfortunately this practice is not new in France.
We remember the disgusting recess to u hich it was
carried in the rtigns of Louis XV. and XVI., when
we beLeld t: e reins of the Government fall -succes-
Avely into the hinds of Lottery Agents, of Madame
de Pompadour, of Madame du Barry, of the Duchess
Je Polignac, Ste.
66 This sha'neeful irregularity was one of the prin-
cipal causes of the Revolution, for nothing less than
t revolution was sufficient to extirpate this pernicious
system. and the weakness of those Princes who had
occasioned it, were dragged beneath its ruins, from
the unceasing obstinacy with which 6,1 identified
themselves with their Court and separat-d from the

natiutt. But has it been extmpated ? Uu thecon-
trary tame of our Princes seem still to behold theit
atety in that same system and in those same :ma.
sum which caused their first calamity.

•46 In England you have Ministers who govern,
who bestow offices, who take them away, wit.) dis•
Tribute pensions and titles, who propts.• laws, and
regulate all the great political ioterests cf the coun-
try ; one of these Ministers liss a preponderatitT in-
fluence, he is at the head of Administration, all his

in the progress of aff.ors.
" It is not thus in France. The Ministers are only
Clerks Weft de bureaux), who obey the orders of the
Princes and PI inces,es or the Royal Variety, in send-

ing away those whom they (hale and introduciag

Among our extracts from the Continental Journals
will be fond some articles worthy of attention, par-
ticularly the proceedings at Stutgard. the King of
WURTENIBRIIO has addressed a new Rescript to his
subjects on the points necessary to be attended to in
settling the Constitution of the Kingdom. The States,
or some of them, as our Readers know, have required
the restoration of the ancient Constitution. The
King objects, thtt new territories have been added to
the kingdom ; that the new subjects had other laws
and usages than the old; that their wants and wishes
must also be attended to: but cypresses a readiness
to retain as much of the old Constitution as may be
found applicable to the new circumstances. If the
Diet and the Commissioners of the King shall meet
is a proper temper of mind to discuss this important
question, there seems little reason to doubt that an
arrangement may be come to calculated to promote
the general interest of the King and the State; for,
in truth, they can have but one.
In the absence of any new French Papers, we have
laid before our Readers some Private Letters received
by the•lait Mail, which furnish some information
respecting the way in which public business is
transacted in Paris. The French, who imagine they
know every thing, have yet much to learn respecting
the frocedure which should characterise every deli-
berative assembly.

It will be seen by referring to the Port Letters in-
serted to-day, that the gale on Sunday night last has
been, mast severely felt all along our coast. In the
Downs 12 transports, beside other vessels, have drove
from add lost their anchors and cables; two of the
transports and the Venus cutter got into Dover, wad

•.• . .
the Mariner transport reached Portsinonth, the re.
tnainder are at sea. From Sheerness we hear of the
loss thj ee vessels on the MAplin Sand) one of them
with all her crew. Two vessels have been list on
11:e Scrohy. tear Yamcuth, and another is on shore
at Winterron. The. Ebenezer is on shore at Pool.
The brig Salv.tdore that went on chore near Deal)
went to pieces during the gale on Sunday night.

The Capital begins already to experience the heti-
fits resulting from the termination of the disputes
between the sailors and ship-owners in the Nurtll.
The Pool is now pretty full at colliers, and a consi-
derable reduction has taken place an the price of that
indispensible article Coals.
On a subject not altogether foreign to this, it can-
not be improper to offer a few c.bst:rvations—the dis-
tressed situation of the sailors who crowd the streets
of the Capital, and are unable to find employment.—
We have many individuals in this large city ever
ready to exert themselves in the cause of humanity.
Never was there a fitter, a more imperious occasion
for their united exertions, in some benevolent asso:
ciation, %Oki% should be instantly formed for the
relief and benefit of the bravest, but, when on shore

die most lerlftl•rr, beeitu,e the most inconsiderate of
131itanni.i's children. Their situation is at this mo-
ment most t;eplorable : many of them must either
beg, or steel, '.r perish for want!
The Public at this time labc:ur under a great mis-
take respecting these men. It is taken for granted
that all who served in the Navy have a right to a
pension.—They must have served 14 years before
they are emitted to even the lowest pension, ae:O.
12s. per annum—nay, they must have been rated for
14 years as all, seamen.—Again : The Public have
been told 11;41 the Navy have advertised for sailors.
True : but the ships receive
.only fit men ; that is,
only the picked sailors.—Ne comment is wanted on
We tact t what then is to become of those who are
not prime sailors ?
We can see no remedy—no relief foe these men
but from some such institution as we have suggested.
Some kind of society is Wanted which may act the
part of a parent to these destitute men; endeavour:
to prccure them employment ; direct them. in the
steps necessary for recovering their parish settlement
till they can do better, and furnish them with the
means for the journey. •
Had the extent of the present evil been foreseen,
some legislative measure migi:t have lessened it—as
a law prohibiting for a lime the binding any new ap-
prentices, or receiving any landsmen on hoard mer-
chant-ships. But the Pariiami•nt is not to
.meet
till February 1 Private individuals should there-

tore exert themselves at the present moment : nor
can we think of any quarter so likely to originate
such a S rciety as that respectable body which has,
had the merit of so often standing forward for the
destitute and helpless—the Gentlemen of Lloyd's
Cofree-house.—But pray do it speedily. We know
with what energy and LfExt it nil ue accomplishel,
if certain indivOuals in your house only set their
shouldet s to the work.

Pe7E,T to N issr.—Another Pedestrian is about to
start at Rochester, for the amusement of the ama-
teurs of athletic sports. His name, as already men-
tioned, is palm : and yesterday be made his appear-
ance on the ground selected for his achievement,
although the period for the commencement of his
undertaking is not yet fixed. His snatch is precisely
the same with those of WILSON and TUSWEE. BAKER,
while on the ground yesterday, betted a trifling wager
with Mr. CHALMERS, jun. a respectable Gentleman
farmer, at Rochester, that he would go a mile in ten
minutes : he accomplished this short task, with. ease, I
in nine minutes. Ia the course of yesterday, FRANCIS
PATTEN, Esq. the worthy Mayor of Rochester, sent
a message to BAKER, at the Cossack Public House,
to say, that if any person molested him in his pro.
gress, the offender should be immediately secured;
adding, that proper Officers should be in attendance
to keep the peace. Mr. PATTEN, with proper atten-
tion to decontrol, thought •it his dirty, at the same
time, ro intimate, that IMKaLt would not be permitted
to walk during divine service, on. Sundays. This
mark of attentive condescension gave the •.Pedestsian
and his friends great satisfaction. Ilets.are at present
in favour of BAKER'S performing Coe task:.

This morning, abcut hall-past ten o'cllck, an
alarming fire broke out at the work-shops belonging
to the New Mint, just finished on l'osvor.kill. At
the moment this PAper went to prep the fire was
raging most furiously. The mint Itself had cot
been injured, hut the conßogr.tion was spriadinT,
and ihre.itened the destruction of tht whole. The I've.
men were using every exertion to slop the progress of
the flames, and, we hope, with success. The :Addict"
are all placed in front n! the building to keep off the
crowd, ail thousands of spctatiul were accumulating.
By the Hatuburgh M. of this inorning, atc,,unis
