calculation, that he reserves fur himself, it is said, the Presidency.
and wants nothing else. Why, then, was not the game played
fairly? Why did not this Ministry present itself with the Budget
to the Chamber immediately after the withdrawal of the Municipal
Laws? Why postpone to the next year ari experiment so little
basardoss?
To speak the truth, it was feared that the first day of the Mi-
nistry would be its last. Is was wished vs obtain sis nasidpr
respite, if possible, and to govern, in the absence of the Chambers,
as if there were none. because they were prorogued ! What man
of sense will believe that M. de la Bourdonnaye, who, during the
10 years that be has struggled to become the leader of a party, ne-
ver could collect 100 votes, will at once find complaisant auxiliaries
on the benches of the left centre ?
Thank Goo! the position is as clear and decidedly marked out as
it well can be ! In the Foamier of such sites, every one immedi-
ately knows what he ought to do, and there remain. neither pre-
test nor excuse for the most yielding conscience. The Ministry
belongs entirely to the extreme right. Let it then be surrounded
by those who have bee* most distinguished foe their hatred of
the liberty of the press--for their declamations agalolt the demo-
cratic spirit of France ! Lei us, then, know on whom these Mi-
nisters rely for support. Manstaqueste they will diubekes obtain
as many as they wish. Prayers and indidgenCies will not be re-
hoed them. By the aid of Prefects, glad to escape from a cooed-
tutional system, they will cause to be repeated by some departmen-
tal couticils what they have previously said in their journals. This.
is what they may live on for some few days. lieu soon will come
embarrassments of every kind, the resistance of public *Woo, the
hundred voices of a free press, and the Chatither.
It le not fur the cause of liberty that we fear at this moment. It
cannot fail to be vicuitious out of this short and last trial ; what-
ever may
.be auempted to its detriment, it is stronger than its
enemies, and to roots have taken too firm hold to be phicked front
our soil. We compassionate the old age of a generous Prince, who
breathes only love for his people, and whom bold men endeavour
to deceive for the profit of their guilty ambition. It is the
monarchy that we must save—it is the gravy and repose of the
King than we must defend; as to liberty, It is able to defend itself,
and to triumph alum.

The new Ministers thought M. Menem* would condescend
to keep the place in which he has acquired so many claims to the
esteem of his fellow-citizen • they hoped that a name so justly
popular would give them lonic popularity ; consequently they made
him the most brilliant proposals, and, and the finest promises. 51.
Debelleynie rejected the proposals as a dishooour, and the pro-
mises as a trick ;he has given in his resignation. His resolution
is irrevocable. It is understood that 51. Bert ye, jun. will succeed
M. Debelleyme.
M. Villemaine, so honourably expelled from the Council of State
under the Villele Ministry, and restored a few months ago, has

What uneasiness for the Charter! Pure hypocrisy. How can
they respect those who have constituted the perinusency of the
electoral colleges under the authority of a committee who have
violated the commute! immunities, contested the prerogatives of
the King, claimed for thent.elves the discussion, and the vote of
treaties, demanded the rejection of the religion of the state in the
fundamental act. protected every kind of revolt, disturbed all In-
terests, and alike troubled Use internal, as well as disconcerted the
'sternal relations of France ? Respect for the Charter manifests
itself a respect for the law of Goo : it must commence by cherishing
the royalty which has given it, and surrounding it with emaciation
and love.
It is asked if the people were ever more obedient to the laws,—
if the royal authority has received the least impediment, justice
. any obstacle, or religion any disrespect?
We might deny, with reason, the unanimity of the submission
and respect which is that invoked, but we will admit the assertion.
and ask in oar turn. bow a Ministry devoted to the royal who-
' ally. to religino. and the reign of law, can have frightened such a
people as have been described to us? It appears to us, on the coo-
teary. that the more cootent any one is with the just limits of his
rights, with attachment to his Sovereign, and the impressioo of
religious sentiments, the more will be respect. in the choice of the
Crown, the emanation of the Royal judgment.
But let it not be believed that the new Ministers are a red of
iron, with Which' the supreme power is armeel to chastise an in-
tractable people. What signifies the i queotlei language of
these journals,which cannot reconcile the with the, cause,
and who can weave nthority arming itself with rigour against a
people tranquil, religious, and loyal?
Yes, it is true the people ire so, notwithstanding the efface made
to corrupt them ; and should Charles X. again Waverer the pro-
vinces, he would find the same marks of love, veneration and
confidence. It is only a troop of factious intriguers, who seek to
obtain their end by public tumult and &puke —who cry out for
civil war as the means of bringing the people under their iron yoke ;
but what signifies the cry of those whose projects are destroyed,
whose hopes are 'mashed, plans overwhelmed, and unbitten ship-
wrecked?
He who has looked above factions and vulgar passions has dis.
covered public opinion. The King has attached himself to it, and
separated from those who had daily falsified it.
In the midst of these confused clamours, we answer, What is
it that has passed? Is the Coostitutioo violated because Minis-
ters, feeling their impotency, have resigned, and the King has
replaced them by devoted subjects? Nothing is surely more con-
sdtutionaL But this choice, is seem-,irritates the nation. What!
already before their acts? In truth, a sedan capable of being so
precipitately irritated, would be much less worthy of the benefits
which it has received from its Klass.
As to the Elective Chamber, they hasten too quick to answer
for its sentiments. If they are right, what blame can attach to
royalty fur having inchaed to the side which offered to it the greater
security, better guarautees f..r order, and more advantages for the
country ?
But is all the power of society in three Journals and ninety-five
Deputies—is Royalty then nothing by iced? The Peerage, NM
Members of the Elective Chamber, the Magistracy, the Adminis-
trative .Order, the Episcopacy and inferior Clergy, the mass of
Electors, the Army, the People, in fise,--have all these evinced
irritation? are they all exasperated at the perusal of some names? .
We shall show them our strength, let then. produce theirs! Some
worn-out fragments of the revelation add the Empire, some
writers without conscience—Gnatics—cam.s unhappily celebrated
—a small number of greedy speculators who eakulae upon dis-
order—these constitute the natioa,which it irritated without know-
ing why, at the' appearance of some devotedness.
They, indeed. have well respected public opinion, who trailed
our soldiers and drew our treasure to she Mores, against the gene-
rally expressed public feeling, and in spite of the diminution of the
public revenue, and who had recourse to every measure calculated
to plunge France into • ruinous war,the end of which could not be
foreseen. And three, too are the eople who speak to us about
the uneasiness of the nation—of the initiate whistle overload the
country—of the ruin of commerce—of the paralysis of iudustry,
, aed the sufferings of agriculture and the contributory. Surely,
, other charges—other sacrifices—other shocks for industry and
commerce—would have arisen, if that sad system of *eternal policy
were persevered in to which we allude. Public opinion wants in-

Nine miles from Nottingham, on the grown of a bleak Common
lately reduced to order, stands a wild country inn, called the Hut.
and nearly opposite to that house spreads an immense oak, which
commands the entrance to Newstead Abbey, once the seat of the
family of the celebrated Lord Byron. This immense oak gives
you au expectation of antique grandeur. and of old and extensive

place had been comagoed to. Th load blink better than a bridle

This- is not the prinsiipal front; but, in former days,,it was so, and
it preserves the strict air of the ancient monastic edifice. The
entrance to the house is at alb side; and, though it is much ne-
glected, Colonel Wild:inn, the present owner, intends to improve
it, and to bring a new avenue to bear ups. it. On entering, you .
are first admitted to a banquetting-hall; which Colonel Wildman is
engaged with, and which will occupy the. entire front it this side.
It bears an interest, as being the dining-room of Lord Byron,
and: connected with a small room where Lord Byron loved
its sit and gut upon the lake. and where his arms over the mantel-
piece are preserved. Yon are then conducted over the principal
rooms, fitted up with magnificence and taste ; but I am sorry to
say there is Very little to remind one of the fame of its last owner.
The only records which I perceived in the house are the pictures
of his dogs—a wolf-deg, and his favourite, Boatswain ;an ordi-
nary bust, and • a portrait by Philips, In the state *drawing-
room ; the drinking-cup, made out of a skull, mounted in silver,
and inscribed with verses. In the garden stands the monument
erected to his dog, with the lines familiar to every Reader ;
and these are the only traces of his immortal name. Colonel
Wildman has renewed the principal treat of the Abbey at
immense expense, reclaimed the gardens. and he is now engaged in
designs of vast extent. When he purchased the property the cattle

The pleasure-grossed; are now laid out in the moat favourable

before the principal front ; patches of Sowers are happily disposed;

The church of Hacknal, whine the family vault of the Bursas
is, presents an unsightly object in a most secluded village, to which
one has access by most vile roads. about three mike distant, from
Newstead Abbey. It is here the urn; containing the'lleirt and
the brains of Lord Byron, are disgraced (as I must say) by the
paltry memorials erected more in his mockery than in his honbur.

is by the removal of a flag, with a large Iron ring attached. Here
nine of his family aft•laid—and here be, the greatest of chest; is
recorded as if he were but the sorry poet of the parish. There is
no monument—there is no inscription written by one of bit inspired .
leiend4—there is no commemoration of his works—the only tribute
is a bit of white marble plastered into the wall, on which the foil-
lowing paltry epitaph is written :

Lord Byron of Rochdale, . . •

The Author of " Child. Harold's Pilgrimage."

He died at Missolongbi, in Western Greece,
The 19th of August, 1924,
Engaged in the glorious attempt to restore that country to her
ancient freedom and renown.
Is this the way to mark the grave of the first poet of his age?
Author of " Child. Harold " indeed!! Is that the only triumph
of 6 s genius? Or is it that thow of his family who erected this
tablet are ashamed of hie works? and do they seek to sink his
poetical renown in the elaborate mita' of his wild; but &foam
attempt in Grace? It was even •more than a year before this
stone was put up, and the grave was as unmarked as that of any
village peasant. I obierved in the visiter's book a powerful re.
monstrance from the pen of Mr. Bowring on this shameful neglect.
That gentleman will see in bow paltry a manner the duty which
he so ably enforced has been complied with ; and it would be well
worthy of him to communicate with Mr. Moore, and to levee
the grave of Byron from so inefficient a memorial.

leThree per Cents. have experienced tualay a further decline
of pie frand ten centimes. Messrs. Berlin Demme. Hely-d'Olasel,
Alexandre de Laborde, and VWensaine, Councillor of State under
the late Ministry, have glens in their resignation. The Moositeur
of to-day, which was impatiently expected, contains no act of the
new Ministry. In the state of things, which is still only numbul,
opinion, with its sudden impressions, has only itself to guide it.
All that it feels' all that it supposes, all that it fears, has alone a
real existence in the presence of an Administration which was un-
expected, and is still silent.
The Courier Pews and War of Nuremberg, of the Sth August,
announces from the frontiers of Wallachia, of the 17th July, that
immediately after the surrender of Silistria some divisions of ca-
valry. 2.300 volunteers, and several thousand pioneers, were sent
to the Heiken, to pick up the Turkish stragglers, and put all the
roads and defiles in good condition. The reserve coming from
Tulcsyn, to the number of 48,000 men, is to pass the Pruth in
four columns on the 13th and 17th of July; and on the 10th and
44th of August, 12,000 men will go to Giordsevo, and the
remainder by any of Ransack against Shuck and the Bal-
kan. Immense supplies of provisions are expected from the
interior of Russia. Letters from Verna say, that General
Roth has received a reinforcement of 20,000 men from Odessa.
Constantinople continues to receive large supplies of cern. It is
asserted that the French and English Ambassadors are ordered in
no case to leave the Sultan ; even should he go to Iconium' they
arc to attend bim. There are, however, many things that must
happen before he will have to go to the Asiatic side of the Bospho-
rus. Bad news comes in quick succession. Rudsebnk is said to
be invested; and Sheath attacked: the Sultan, in his camp ai Te-
rapia, dares not send away the troops for fear of the Russians at
Sizeboll. This unexpected diversion has confounded all Ms plats.
It seems certain, however, that Z. 0,000 men from Bosnia and Al-
bania have arrived on the Danube.

From the Journal des Debats.
This morning grief—we would rather say public indignation—
was at its bright. A Grit moment of surprise, and almost of in=
credulity, In spite of the official iournal,soon gave way to the most
violent explosion of angrr and contempt. Was it, then, for•thoee
wlti are about to profit by it, that a confidential vote was given
for the budget, augmented as it was by a vote of credit amounting
to ferry ? Was it to the military genies of M. de Baur-
moot that the Chamber means to intrust an army of 400,000, too
honourable nut to detest every thins that resembles treason? Wu
k o 6 M. de la Bourdonsaye that the Chamber relied tsr promoting
to it nest year a municipal law? Did it consider the foto of
Greece wog secured is the hands of a friend, a caolideat of Iral.

serous to the timid?

Foe our parts, such this's, it may well be believed, levee oil no
doubt as to the part we ought to take, and our conduct eves fit
two years past, prudent and moderate, will perhaps give dome •
weight to the energy at oar remonstrances. It will not be as.
petted that we are prompted by i spirit of sedition and of hatred
against authority—we, who wish for nothing more earnestly doh
to see the Government strong and respected, provided that k
turn respect the public feeling—we, whose most earnest with hos

What have we nut dime to attain this end? Has any Ministry
found us unfair or unjust adversaries ? Have we refused the Go-
vernment our support is time of need, at our risk and peril, when
the embarrassment of its posidon demanded some indulgence?
The fact h, there is a something which places us far above the
peuy interests of party, and the fragile success of self-love—the
repose of the Monarchy, the glory of the King, the maintenance
of the national liberties ! In our solicitude for these sacred interests,
we dreaded to di,tutb, by too rigid or high claims, the gond bar.
many established between the Prince and his pearl.. We have
therefuee been seen on more than one occasion holding out a helping
hand to men whom a brilliant departure front the Ministry ab-
solved bons any suspicion of implication with the enemies of
France ! Therefore have we not hesitated to defend suck of their
memoirs, which, thoogh not perfect, appeared to us good for the
present, and full of hope for the future !
. Will it be believed that we have not, as well as others, often
lamented their uncertainty 10 Will it be believed that we took a plea-
sure in shutting our eyes that we might nut ere that it was possible
to do better ? Na; but it is with us a maxim to give credit to
authority for the difficulties it has to overcome. To reduce men to

despair, ie not the way to conciliate them.
The event justified our foresight. Good Heaven! where should
we now be if too scrupulous—if, from a theoretic levee of perfect
legislatione—we had allowed that law of the press which abolished
the censorship, and has placed our enemies between povrerkesaese
and the necessity of resorting to arbitrary acts, to escape us? How
would France, accustomed to a mild and respectfol poike, like to
be placed under the yoke of pnli:ical espionage? ..old to Goa,
that in addition to the laws on the press, and the electoral lists, we
bad the communal and departmental laws! The choice of new
mini would ant then have coincided with the convocatioss of
the departmental assemblies. That choice would have been post-
poned until thole assemblies bad voted their budgets, and drawn
up their complaints!
It has been proved. We have known how to do justice to power,
fallen or not. Now. however, every thing is changed, and the
finest words in the world shall not make us rein our vigilance.
Wbo are thew men who, without a majority in the Chambers,

without iofiunice in the country, seize an interval between the -
Sessions to Intoxicate themselves with the momentary pleasure of
ruling, and fancying themselves great prism:l4es? Whence do they
come? One of them is from the benches of the extreme right,
where he termed almost alone his little factions, violent and sop°.
pular even in the opposition to a detested Minister. The name
alone of ibis man would suffice to cause a cry of alarm thronghost
France. Let us seek another name which predicts mare lathier-
time and disorder. This Roman Prince comes to us from
England? Who knows?—perhaps Franet was on the point of
drawing her sword from the scabbard and casting it, brilliant and
victorious, In the balance of Europe. Perhaps dart moment was
you rabic for her to revise treaties made without ber and against her,
when the hatred and alarm which she inspired among Kings was still '
lively and profoupd. The Cabinet of St. James's, however, now
intervenes ; it may now with safety open the !mns of Great Britain,
