unmixed to the lin4diai of the administrative bierartily, has too
much the appionnalnlie imposition of the chiefs of a ed.:meow
-party unsaved on the mass of the people, for the country not to ,
expetience a painful but natural sentiment of disteniq.
From this general view, if we pass to the individual, We "'wet
brat with M. de Po3gnac, whose youth and mature age, nourished
in domestic conspitades and foreign intrigues, hue naturally con-
tracted habits and adopted doctrenselittlacompatiblewitk the con-
stitutional Government. A recent and eager profession of faith ,
in favour of the Charter. has not made his votes with the majority
et the Madre intrusted*, nor his aristocratic predilections be for-
gotten. As to principle he is not to be separated from his brother,
with whom be has always acted, who did not take the oath' to our
fundamenial compact, until after a long hesitation, and who some
years after declared, in a printed opinion, "that the moral interests
of throuvoisdon, Wine the offering.o crime sad Impiety,, were
contrary to all virtue and all moral and political legitimacy.'
It may be.doubted whether these two brothers are reconciled
to the offspring of piste, and it is not unreasonable that we should
he astonished, that ki one of them are now intrusted the moral
interests of the revolution,.onless he have imposed the task upon
hienieff with the intention of stifling the Ministers. However, in
strikint at doctrines, win Ms de Pulignac be indulgent to persons?
The question will seem absurd to those who recollect, that, con-
demned to death with Pichegru and eseefies Cadoudal, the noble
Dully Wai indebted for his life to Napalms; or that he was one of
the judges's( Gen. Lalleautnd. : .
Hardly • was Prince de Polignac Secretary of State, than he
countersigned the nomination of MM. Courvoiskr, Monebel.
Bourmont. and de la Bourdonnaye, doubtless to sketch his policy
plainly and without delay. NI. de Coarvokier, a soldier of the
army of Oonde. Advocate and Attorney-Geperal, Deputy, has
marked bile legislative career by the most fregyent and abrupt oscil-
lation.; attacking or defending on the iy, in the same dis-
course,. arbitrary power, liberty, the right side, the left side, the
ministry': Ice are enured that the colour of his balls were more
uniform. As a magistrate, he has broken against the press lances
' which to him were doubtless worth the triumph be obtained ; ass
private man, it is to the Jesuiti he has vowed a love which his eon
does-not partake. One can conceive a resignation capable of the
sacrifice of Abraham, an eloquence flexible and violent, bringiag
resources to an organized Ministry, in ;treat part for the service 01
the congregation, and the ruin of our liberties. ' .
..
Id the person of M. de Montbel are re-Instated and represented
' M.M. de Vinci. and Peyninnet, of whom he w;s the Intrepid
advocate. It is a trick 'Asian to have them thus returned by pro
curation, so soon after the nation bad repulsed them, and they bad
escaped a criminal accusation.
All who do not like M. de Villele, ought to understand what
means the nomination of Al. de Montbel : it la more galling for the
partisans Of public instruction that he is raised to the functions of
Grand Master of the University.
Thus, the nation whine to take an attitude worthy of her strength
and independence in the midst of the immense struggle which Is
prosecuting I. the East, and goes to seek in British intimacy a
Minister fur foreign affairs; the nation is uneasy at the Jesuitical
attacks directed against the press, and the ambiguous circular of
M. Bourdean. Yet M. de Coutvoisier Is given to it. It has lately
evinced an antipathy for M. de Villele, and some sympathy for
the *Ministry who had favoured, though timidly, a less IMberal
plan of instruction, and M. de Montbel is assigned to it.
The nation is still, perhaps, too proud of her military glory ; her
children have preserved, under the pacific flag, the impatient en-
dow' of their predecessors, and preserved those traditions of ho-
nour, loyalty, and heroism, which have so often illustrated our ar-
mies—they have redoubled their hatred and contempt for treason,
and are more than ever averse from the domination of foreign
diplomacy, and, above all, of English intrigue. • yet, nevertheless,
in the suite of M. de Pollgnac arrives M. de Bourmont as Minister
of War, the same man whose errors were denounced by Bonaparte
in exile, and still more strongly by Marshal Ney before the 'Court
of Peers:—the M. de Bourmont, from which history has already
demanded an explanation, in energetic terms, of his conduct on
the night before the battle of Waterloo. which suddenly changed
. the whole plan of the campaign.
Ii now remains for us to characterise M: de la Bourdonnaye, in
/ order to conjecture what he will do from what he has wished to do;
but this arm of the executive, if he may be judged from his
speeches, ought not to be made the subject of a rapid sketch. We
shall therefore reserve the picture of his character add deeds for a
separate article.

We direct attention to a letter from our Correspondent
MERCATOR, on the revived business of the Lonach. It
is quite clear from it—whatever may have been the
private compensation which has quieted Mr. DRISCOLL

—that no redress has been yet obtained for the indignity

offered. to the national flag: neither do we believe that
the Noble Earl at the Foreign Office cares one sixpence
about the insulted honour of the country.
We are informed by private letters from France, that
an extraordinary Couhcil of State• has been assembled in
Lisbon. Among others who were called to this Council
by special summons, was the noted Senhor GUIAO,
one of the Special Commissioners who brought. to the
gibbet the unfortunate victims in that capital : there

assisted, also, at that Assembly, the Prior of Christ,
Tor Att—LucAs DA SILVA, the Attorney-General—and
the Conde de NIESQLTIOLLO. Their opinions were
required concerning the -expediency of maintaining the
squadron. before Tercelli,. the admirable organisation
of which island, joinbd to the known skill,' as well
as intrepidity of l'ts defenders, has • excited the
serious uneasiness inf Don MiGutt.'s administr a-
I tion. At the end of a long deliberation, it was
resolved unanimously to order the ships home to
Lisbon, as the riotous spirit of the troops at Saint Mi-
chaels might contaminate the whole Beet, and thus de-
prive the Government of its naval•force. The Minister
of Pinance,"in Supporting this opinion of the Council of
State, declared that the Treasury was. in en exhausted
condition, and that the rbiourcei oCthe kingdom were
Iquite unavailable to replenish'it.

Accounts, also, had arrived in Frirce from Rio de Ja-
neiro, representing the Emperor Dow PILD RO fle seriously

Rio on a mission to the Court of 'Union. We do
not pledge ourselves to the accuracy of this information,
but we attach great credit to it from the respecta-
bility of our Correspondent.—lt was affirmed, also,
through the same chanbel, that the detachment of Por-
tuguese emigrants which had arrived at Rio, had been
embarked on board a vessel belonging to the Goa marine,
and received orders to direct it's passage to the capital of
Portuguese India. This vessel is said to carry out dis-
patches to the Viceroy, DOD MANDEL DE PORTUGAL,
a brother of the Marquis de VA LENS:A, who sent some
time since a messenger to Don PEDRO, requiring from
his IMPERIAL MAJESTY instructions for his own con-
duct, in the existing political circumstances of Portugal.

The Times is again occupied in discussing and de-
fending the French ministerial changes. We have said
enough on that subject ourselves, not to leave in ant-
bigno—with any reflecting person—the results which
they are likely to produce : in the meantime, we must
observe that the impression entertained at first by se-
veral of our contemporaries, that these changes pro-
mised advantageously for. England, appears to be
decidedly weakened. There is a Character of Bo ca-
MONT, the War Minister, in the Times, which—though
drawn evidently by a favouring pencil—stamps him in
the. most unequivocal manner with . treachery, inhu-
manity, and treason. Acts of indemnity, under all
Governments, are allowed more or less to wipe out the
stain of the last-enumerated among these enormities :
but perfidiousness and cruelty are still left, the pro-
minent essential compounds of his character ; and we
are sorry to,add, that M. DE BOURMONT is not out of
place, in the Ministry of M. DE POLIONnc:

Every line of intelligence from the Continent, at the
present crisis, is of the highest importance ; and we have,
therefore, laid before our readers very ample details of the
state of public feeling in France, on the sudden and
alarming political changes that have taken place in that
country. In our Private Correspondence, we continue
these details down till the 12th- - the day before yester-
day. With respect to the wretched, the lost condition
of the Turks, and the sweeping triumphs of the Russians,
we have to bring forward the following extracts from the
German Papers, received this day, in confirmation of the
statements which we were among the first—if not the
very first—to publish on this subject.
Augsburgh Gazette, Aug. 8.
SEMeIN, Jinx 26.

Letters from Orsova state an important occerrence that has
taken place at Widdint—the explosiou of a powder tower in the
fortified castle of that city, which has in consequence been much
Injured, and also attended with a considerable loss of lives. It is
said to be the effect of design ; and people are, on that mount, in
greater perplexity than if it were the work of chance—considering
the firm character of the Turks, the same er some similar attempt
is to be apprehended. Many persons ban been arrested, and are
under examination; especially individuals of the regular troops.—
It appears the Pacha is disposed, since this event, to remove
from the city all the regular troops ; and that he has request-
ed the Pacba of Belgrade for militia, which, In fact, as was
yesterday oaths& are already on their march. The accounts frost
the army are anything but cheering ; and it is believed here we must
soon have peace, since the Poets has already nearly exhausted her
mesas of defence. The BAD, to be sure, is proclaimed ; bat with
the very best disposition, not more than 30,000 men can be col-
lected is four weeks, and the enemy is in the mean time on his
much upon C^ostftathsople. According to authentic information,
notwithstanding all that has been said, the whole [mantises cas-
sias of 10 open batteries, which at the most can but protect a
part of the town from a carp de main.
