Certain official formalities at the Stamp-ojict,neces-
gory upon every change in the title of a Newspaper—and
with which we were not acquainted in time—oblige us
to postpone for a day or two our intention to add to the
STAR the appeTlatioss of the SOUTH AM/RICAN RE-
k.isTeu, the new type of which is already in our print-
ing-roons.

In reply to our valued and distinguished Windsor cor-
respondent, we beg to assure him that the allusion in
our notice of his MAJESTY'S health on Wednesday, to
certain officious interference, did not apply to the
household : for, like himself, we are convinced cordiality
and a mutual interchange of kindly offices never pre-
vailed to a greater degree within the precincts of the pa-
lace, than at the present moment.

We think we can felicitate our readers upon the
brighter prospects, which seem to be opening upon the
country with the opening year : and with all our hearts
we do so. The too long stagnant energies of the people
are exhibiting by little and little, symptoms of re-
animation. The dawning. of a great change are slowly,
but visibly, breaking on us. To us—who have been
accustomed to look far forward—these prognostics do not
show themselves unexpected. We perceived, and hailed
with delight, the restless agitation of the general mind—
even while it lay heaving beneath the surface—in a
neighbouring country, and we augured happily from
that fermenting spirit. But when the PoLto wAC nomi-
nations were announced, the omen which we had drawn
from smouldering principles became realised in declared
events. The outcry against an illiberal and retrogressive
Cabinet rose loud and general. The voice of the people
mounted in concert, like a storm—threatening, but
striking not—for the people knew their power, and felt
that they might stay their uplifted hand': affording thus
a practical illustration, not of the progress of intelligence
merely, but of its moral restraining influence in crises of
excitation and trouble. Their attitude was not the less
imposing for their forbearance, and an odious Ministry
wavered—passive and mute before them—uncertain to
remain or retire. Brittany now stood prominently for-
ward, and was the first to set a glorions example of com-
bination, to resist illegal and iniquitous exactions. Her
name became a watchword in the capital and in the pro-
vinces; the landed interest throughout France ad-
hered to her stirring declarations, and the spirit of
the league pervaded the whole empire to salva-
tion. Controlled, at length, in spite of himself,
by the power of universally expressed opinion,
ClisaLls X. promulgated ordonuances, which proved
that the talisman of a dictatorial government was broken.
If the objectionable head remain, it is now clear that po-
pular alliances are courted by him ; but it is unlikely
that the genuine friends of liberty will either coalesce
with him, or suffer hint to continue Minister. We note
this the more particularly, to show the sympathy of
political manoeuvre, by which the Paeutza—as well
there, as here—is endeavouring to strengthen his hands
against a disapproving people. But the SEBASTIANIS,
and CASIMIR PERRIERS,WO apprehend, are too pure
to associate with POLIONAC; and we may predicate
the same of the Whigs .in this country with regard to
the Noble Luxe, unless—indeed—we except some, the
very refuse of them.

We have laid, advisedly, such a stress upon French
occurrences, because there is a chain of connection
between the two Ministries, which always more or less—
but now, more than, ever—reciprocates a large moral
influence over both countries. We said the other day,
and we repeat it now, that European regeneration already
dawns in Frahce : let us add, that the lambent fires of
popular independence seem once more to be curling from
the earth heavenwards, in our own country. Whoso
looks at the Government, cannot be at a loss for the
pl olucing cause:. to unerring is the truth, that—for
nations as well as individuals—out ofevilproeeedetli good.
At an'epoch, so auspicious as the new year is popularly
ko. 1 to bio;—and so auspicious as we ourselves deem the
pres.mt new year to be—something may, perhaps, be
• kifeetel 'Porn. up, in the way of a confirmation of those
pf which six months ago we undertook to
remodel this Newspaper. We will comply with this ex
peel scion—though we hardly deem it necessary—not by
ashy rru' declaration, but by a reiteration here of a part
of +'..,t we said on that subject, on the first of July

last. " In announcing these "—that is, the arrangements.'
by which we came upon the STAR—" the P- ROPRIRTORS
do not feel it at all necessary to make any declaration
iof principles, in the strict sense of the term. Never-
theless, they think this a proper opportunity to state, that
they come forward in a pure and liberal spirit, fettered by
no party, though certainly favouring the remains of one,
Which it was once equally popular and patriotic to up-
hold. Concerning this Party they have elsewhere given
their opinion at greater length—and perhaps with keener
animadversion—than comports with the equanimity of these
explanations. But they are not bound, nor do they be-
long, to any set of men whatever ; and it is only in
consideration that the body alluded to yet contains within
its pale some shining and uncorrupt individuals—a nu-
cleus of redeeming purity—that they permit them-
selves to mention it for a moment. Higher—incalcu-
lably higher—is the errand on which they start :
yet if, in the discharge of their great advocacies,

they find themselves side by side with men wham
the people have ceased to count upon as their na-
tural auxiliaries, their satisfaction will be proportionate
to the surprise. From their youth upwards, the writers
of this announcement have always attached themselves
to that scheme of Government which has seemed to them
to unite the greatest administrative purity with the
soundest views of practical improvement. During the
, last twelve years, they have lent to such principles of
policy no feeble advocacy through the press."
It is for the public to say—since the above sentences
were first printed in its columns—with what effect the
STAB, has stood forward, in the Caine of rational free-
dom. On foreign politics, it appeals fearlessly to its
discussions respecting Portugal and Greece, and—
with equal confidence—to the sentiments which it was the

first to promulgate, on the accession of the ultra-royalist
Cabinet in France. On questions of domestic admi-
nistration, it has equally scorned a wavering and equi-
vocal career. It has proved by incontrovertible argu-
ments, that popular opinion can make no peace with a
Ministry compounded of such pernicious ingredients
as military overbearance, and an attachment to
principles which antagonise with the spirit of the
age. Impressed with the conviction that there is no
salvation for this debt-encembered country, but in a
downright and pure REFORM, it has been advocated to
its greatest practical extent ; but the system of uni-
versalised suffrage and annual elections, has been steadily

diseonntenanced : above all, the total abolition of the
proprietary influence in boroughs, has formed—and wilt
continue to form--a conspicuous feature in its arro-
gations.

Looking forward, as we do, to the assembling of

Parliament, and the important notices that stand
for motion there, it is not possible to pass in si-
lence—now that we have touched on reform—the name
of Lord BLANDFORD. We should not stand excused
to the country—we could not forgive ourselves High
are the hopes that animate the public bosom, as
the hour draws nigh for the Noble Marquis to redeem
the pledge that he made last summer. Never—to our

knowledge—were the eyes of an anticipating people con-
centered with more confidence ,even on the tried champions
of our Constitution, than they are on this virgin patriot.
Nor will the prevalent expectation be disappointed in the
Noble Marquis, who—we do not fear to predict—is des-
tined to restore all the ancient splendour of the glorious
coronet that he inherits, and to make the name of
MARLBOROUGM as illustrious in civil history, as it is
yet unrivalled in military fame.

It was our intention in this ankle to have spoken at

same length concerning the state of Portugal, and also
on the subject of South America : but topics so important
as these—branching as they do, into all the interests and

vitalities of freedom—are better reserved fora specific dis-
cussion. Concerning the lax principles of our contempora-
ries, air*, it may be well imagined that we could say much.
The Panes is the natural bulwark and guardian of the
people's rights and liberties,but we have not found it always
forward to defend them : though, latterly—in the cafe of the
late Old Bailey trials —it has manifested somewhat of a
redeeming spirit. We have no desire to speak in-
vidiously ; at this happy season, we will rather

look forward with hope : and with these senti-
ments we end--as we began—wishing our country all
' happy changes, and anticipating them from many sus-
picious signs and concurrences.

The Allgemeine Zeitung to the 25th ultimo is re-
ceived this morning, in which we find a contradiction of
the reported relapse of the Emperor NICHOLAS; and a
repetition of the current rumour, that Prince LEOPOLD is
-to ascend the throne of Greece. The subjoined notices
will be found interesting.

generous founder be reasenthered with gratitude to the latest
posterity.

Frankfort Papers to tho 25th ult. are likewise received
to-day. By an article dated Bucharest, 4th December,
we find that General ICtssaturs, the new President of
the Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia, had ar-
rived in that city. The day after his arrival, he
assembled the executive Divan, and addressed him in a
speech, of which the following is the substance :

" The Reapetor haa confided to me the administntioa of those
provinces. ram sensible of the importance of the duties imposed
on me, and shall be happy to justify the choice of my Sovereign,
your powerful protector. whohas strengthened the protection which
his ancestors granted to you. It is for you, Gentlemen, to com-
plete the work. When the war commenced, it was his Majesty's
intention to make it as little burdensome as possible to the priadp.e
Udes ; and the burdens would certainly have been light, if the
authorities of the country had been penetrated with the Idea, that
dills:skies thrown in the way would be injurious to the general
interest. A new ergs:deaden Is preparing by a committee. whose
members, chosen from amoog yourselves, are distinguished by their
perfect knowledge of the laws and customs of the country. I in-
form you, Gentiomen.that the present mode of administration will
be wholly retained. till it shall be satisfactorily proved that changes
are necessary or useful. Lastly. I venture to hope that we. guided
by the wisdom of the brave Commander of the Army, shall Mill
the generous intention of your august protector; and that the me-
mory of this time will be transmitted by a happy people to the re-
motest posterity."
Manuel Argyro Nubs, one of the members of the Divan, made
a suitable reply to this speech.

FRANKFORT, Dm 24.
litscuLsos on Lams—Two months, 1514.

The subjoined article from St. Petorsburgh is highly
important. The universal feeling throughout Russia is
clearly against the arrangements made at Adrianople,
" both on the whole and iu the details." It also appears
that great disunion prevails amongst the leading mem-
bers of the Imperial family.

s' St. Pinianuacu. Dac. 10.

" Notwithstanding the public rejoicings and religious
ceremonies with which the Treaty of Adrianople has
been celebrated here, it is no less true that this peace has
caused great discontent among all classes. The stipula-
tions of the treaty, far from answering the expectations of
the nation, are universally blamed both on the whole and in
the details. The indemnities stipulated are not propor-
tioned to the sacrifices which the war has caused ; and
whatever pains may be taken to diminish the losses sus-
tained by our armies, it is however notorious that the
two campaigns have cost us above 100,000 soldiers. And
when at length, people, say with indignation, sour brave
soldiers had passed the Balkan, which was never before
forced, and had entered victorious the second capital of the
empire, they are suddenly stopped, as if they were envied
the fruit and the honour, which 'key so well deserved, of
planting their victorious stand%rds on the walls of Con-
stantinople. The pretended danger to the Christian popu-
lation of Constantinople was probably a vain pretext.
On the entrance of our troops into that capital
we should have beheld the same spectacle as in all
the other towns conquered from the Turks : instead
of attacking their Christian fellow-citizens, the Mahome-
tans would have hastened to meet our troops and implore
their protection ; still less reason was there to fear the pas-
sage of the Dardanelles by the English bet. In 1807, Ad-
miral Duckworth, having passed them, was glad to escape
with pretty considerable loss, though he had to do only with
a single man, General Sebastiani. The reason that our
troops were envied the triumphal entry into Constantino-
ple was, that they alone would have had all the honour,
and that no ally would have shared it with them.
" The Emperor Nicholas is not ignorant of this lan-
guage, which is heard among all classes. His brothers,
the Grand Dukes Constantine and Michael, were the first
to hold it to him, which, as well as the mission of General
Muffling, has caused that coolness between the brothers
which still continues, and in which we must look for the
chief cause of the melancholy of the Emperor Nicholas,
and the slowness of his convalescence. Heaven grant
that he may not have a dangerous relapse ! His Majesty
is pale, feeble, and gloomy, which does not • little in-
crease our fears.

The following has been received at Lloyd's :
