The Times denied the other day, with great earnest-
ness. that he had been the eulogist of " the traitor,
BOURMONT :" he will not, however, attempt to deny
that he penned an elaborate panegyric upon an equally
good-for-nothing character, MANG tx—the new Prefect
of Police—and that he grounded that panegyric upon
MANE IN's own account of himself. On this declaration
of the Police Minister, we recollect remarking at the
time, that it was just so much wind against a long life of
contrary experience ; and now comes the verification
of our own conclusions, and the falsification of the fair
prophecies of our contemporary: for this fine promiser
has already dismissed three Prefas because of their li-
beral opinions, and is about to dismiss twenty-five more !
But this is not all. The Press—at which this odious
Administration trembles—has received its maiden
scratch from the myrmidon Minister ; who has In-
terdicted, under penal visitations, the future free
sate, and public exposure of the Messayer des Chambres.
The spirit, therefore, of the new French Government,
to which the Times in the crisis of its formation was so
valuable an Ally, has—to use the expressive phraseology
of its unpaid defender—" begun to develope itself in ad •
ministrative acts."

There is nothing ccrtain from the theatre of war, ex-
cept the resolution of Russia not to negociate upon
any equal terms, and thus turn the passage of the Bal-
kan into a child's game. She crossed it for territorial con-
quest. .

A periodical, which has rendered itself notorious by its
inveteracy against more QUEENS than one, recommends
that we should not merely recognise the bloody Usurper
of the throne of Donna MARIA, but send a British
armament to reduce Terceira for the impotent despot who
cannot do it for himself. As he seems to be re-echoed
by the Morning Journal of to-day with an air of confe-
derate intelligence, we think it right to ask the Duke of
WELLINGTON and Lord ABERDEEN whether they—as
well as Assmt —are at the bottom of this revolting de-
monstration ? We have already announced the occupa-
tion of some Portuguese districts by Spanish troops, and
the Secret Treaty concluded by MONTALEGRIL on the
first of July, is perhaps—afterdall—but a ramification
from their own policy. If the Noble Duke fancies that
he can carry these unpopulatr measures, and remain in
power ; if be believes his foot to be already so firm in
the ministerial stirrup, and the neck of the people so ac-
commodated to his rein, that he can overawe with his
military satraps a dissatisfied and protesting empire, we
think—when Parliament meets--that be will find his
error. In the mean time, this is the most barefaced
symptom which we have yet detected, of the increasing
hopes of the faction of Don MIGUEL ; who have hitherto
fought his battles as if they were ashamed of hia cause,
and under the screen of masks, rather than by open war-
fare. Viscount STRAIGIORD would indeed be s pre..

~~;.

per Anibassadorto such a King ! but let us hope that the
humiliation is not so near.
These reports, which are now assuming such a tan-
gible and systematic shape, coupled with the advice
given to Government respecting the dividends on the
Portuguese loan, may be traced easily to the conclave
which sits in secret at the house of M. ZEA BEBMUDEZ.
We cannot too strongly recommend FERDIN AN D, how-
ever, if he be wise, not to make common cause too
hastily with Don MIGUEL. He should be aware that
British diplomacy, by separating the interest of the Spa-
nish liberals from the Portuguese constitutionalists, pre-
vented in 1826 that union between the parties,. for
which his imprudence had paved the way : but which—
if he suffer his bad passions to betray him again into a
like mistake—he will have no means of averting now,
since he has no longer an KtoußT with him to seduce
Portugal into false calculations of English assistance,
and a reliance upon the faith of treaties, which seems to
be buried in Westminster with Mr. CANNING.

It is not our intention ever to stain this Journal with
the name of the periodical just alluded to ; who, though
his influence has diminished in so satisfactory a degree—
and he no longer even contests the palm of obscenity
with the Age—may nevertheless be still regarded as
the coryphseus of Sunday political corruption. 'lf his
columns, latterly, had been devoted only to his Kings,
MIcuEL and FERDINAND, it is possible that we might
have still passed unregarded his outrageous depravity of
argument in support of these throned abominations : but
his wanton and insulting sneers at the youthful Empress
of the BRAZILS, from the moment it was known that
she intended to touch at these shores, until her departure
from them—and his ruffianly scoffs at the interesting
Queen of PouTuo AL, in violation of common decency
and manliness—are too much in the style of his earliest

blackguardisms, not to rouse in us some of our old sensa-
tions and antipathies, at the contemplation of this un-
natural Paper. He knows the meaning of the epithet.
When we reflect, moreover, that he owed his origin to
malignity, and grew into circulation by an appeal to the
basest passions which deform society ; that he fattened
upon the fruits of slander, and the wages and hire of
infamy ; that, not contented with tearing to pieces living
character, he became the vampire of dead reputation,
and desecrated the sanctuary of the grave to libel its un-
conscious tenants : when we call to mind that he started
in his career as a journalist, on the exclusive principle of
most foul and mercenary speculation ; that his weapon
was ever aimed in the dark, and its venom only tran-
scended by its venality; we confess we wonder, that he
still continues to find persons unashamed to read him.
Ask the wretch what public principle he ever supported ;
enquire of him what public oppression he ever fined to
vindicate ? Polluted to his heart's core, can he point
to one clean espousal—one disinterested advocacy ?
If he can, we will retract and forgive him. Is
it not, then, too bad, to see this Asseca-subsidized
libeller of unprotected strangers, flinging his dirt con-
tinually at exalted purity ? To hear him from week to
week reviling youthful innocence, to gratify the demon
vengeance which employs him on his work of calumny ?
Is it not disgusting to find him pouring upon the public
mind his coarse and personal ribaldries, without an indi-
vidual among all who are scandalised of sufficient manli-
ness to arraign him, and cry shame upon the ears that
listen to him ? The moral portion of the metropolitan
press has been too lenient with this enormous nuisance,
and has kept measures with him till its silence is be-
come criminality. For ourselves,we have refrained even
to the extremest point of refraining : but we have been
provoked to notice him at last, and set our brand upon
the pestilent infestation.

It is our duty to record a case of oppression to-day,
utterly unparalleled since the extirpation of the Suther-
land tenantry, which will remain for ever a blot upon the
scutcheon of the guilty perpetrator : and in putting this
case upon record, we direct our remarks especially to the
Marquis of ANGLESEA, whom we recommend by every
consideration of character—if he thinks a stainless cha-
racter worth preserving in his exalted station—to clear
himself before the public of any participation in so infa-
mous a business.

There is an immense tract of waste land known in
Staffordshire by the name of Cannock-Chase—part of
the territorial Seigniory of the Noble Marquis—and which
stretches along a Rae of country, equal in extent to half
the length of the entire county. On this enormous
Chase, or Common, the poor hare—from time immemo-
rial—enjoyed the liberty of expatiating without controul,
and gathering such wild productions as its brambles and
shrubs affords in fact, to use the words -of the
popular contemporary to whom we are indebted for
taking the lead in this exposure—" the surface of the
soil is essentially a common property, as a promenade and
a sheep-walk where the Peer and the Cottager have equal
and coeval rights." The tale of oppression may be now
told in a few words. Upon this wilderness—this tract of
uncultivated Moor—this Cannock Chase—a poorpeasant
`woman, with four or five of her children, went out to
gather bilberries, to make a pudding for her homely
table ; and—will it be believed by our readers !—she
was seized by one of the game-preservers of the Noble
Marquis, on the pretence that she disturbed the black
game, and dragged immediately before a Magistrate on
a charge of trespass. Trespass, in the meantime, let
it be remembered, there could be none ; for the
heath is not private property, and the poor have possessed
a right of common upon it, from a date beyond the me-
mory of man. Heavy penalties were nevertheless inflicted
by the worshipful mal-administrant before whom she was

brought penalties too heavy for the poor creature to
pay ; for they were made to amount—along with the con•
stable's expenses—to several pounds. Her person there-
fore was adjudicated in default : and the mother and her
children were sent to expiate this inoffensive act in a cell
of the county gaol !
This is not an inflammatory statement, overcharged
for a petty, personal purpose : it is the simple naina-

• •
•
tive of a grievou wroap—of violated laws, u well
as disregarded rights—and we call upon the Noble
Marquis to see to it. He will not surely encou-
rage oppression like this to be perpetrated in his
name, and—by his non-interference--become an ac-
complice after the fact in such scandalous and guilty
transactions. If the Noblemen of this country are for
re-establishing with such penal rigour the inviolability of
their game preserves, let them soon look to themselves,
for the sport will come nearer home ; and the people will
not be backward—with but a very few examples like this to
fire them—to let slip their dogs of chase at a higher quarry,
and hunt down the feudal insolents themselves. In the
hope, however, that the Noble and Gallant Marquis has
not been privy to this tyrannical outrage ; and in the
confidence, that—when it comes to his knowledge—
he will cause immediate and substantial reparation to
be made, we will not pursue the irritating topic. But
it is high time for a repeal of the odious Game Laws.

The Dutch Mail this day has brought us a variety of
important information from the East. It is affirmed, in
an article from Constantinople of the 24th of August,
that the Treaty of the 6th July had been definitively
agreed to by the Porte, and that a Haul Scherif is shortly
to proclaim the liberty of Greece ; but there still hangs
a doubt on the authenticity of these statements. From
another quarter we are informed, that although the re-
port of the consent of the Porte to the conditions of the
said Treaty had been most industriously kept afloat, yet
no official— or even demi-official -- confirmation of so
welcome an event has yet been published ; on the con-
trary, it was very generally apprehended that the total
silence of the Prussian State Gazette, and the Austrian
Observer, must be considered in the light of a tacit con-
tradiction. In the meantime the Russians are advancing,
regardless alike of the warlike or pacific intentions of
the Porte. The following selections will be perused
deep interest:

HAMBURGH, AUG. 31.

Private letters from St. Petersbuigh, of the 22d inst. announce,
that shortly before the departure of the steam-boat, official news
had been received that Count Diebitsch had advanced on Adriano-
ple, and Count Paskewitsch on Trebhond. However, as we learn
from Belgrade that on the 13th inst. Adrianople was still in the
possession of the Turks, and as the report of Count Paskewitsch,
which came down to the 22d of last month, does not speak of
operations against Trebisond, these statements require confirmation.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Ann. 24.
The Treaty of the 6th July was definitively agreed to by the
Porte on the morning of the 7th instant, subsequently to the
receipt of an urgent note from the British Ambassador,
in which he is said to have declared that " on acceding to
the terms of that Treaty, to which England had bound herself,
the Porte would be immediately taken under the protec-
tion of that Power, and might rely upon her assistance." A Haul
Scherif is shortly to be published, proclaiming liberty to Greece.
No intelligence probably ever caused such a sensation here, and
general anxiety is felt respecting the influence which it win have
on the march of the ;Russians. It is said that an English advice-
boat has sailed to-day for Bourgas.
The Russians are advancing rapidly towards Kirk-KiUssa, and
the force that can be opposed to them is not sulncient to stop
so enterprising an enemy. It is known that Count Diebitach has
60.000 men under his command. The Porte has published no
account .f recent events,. but it is affirmed that the Grand Vizier
has left Shumla with most of his troops, and gone towards &limo,
whence he hopes to reach Adrianopk, which has DM been put in a
state of defence. The Sultan is sometimes at Terapb and some-
times in Ramis Tailing, and neglects nothing to forward the
measures taken for the defence of the capital. Tranquillity prevails
every where, and the Government doubles its vigibnce to maintain
order on the approach of danger; this is the more necessary, as
several of the great men advise peace, and this wish is even re-
peated an t►e Divan.
Of the levy of 80,000 men ordered some time ago, about the half
have been raised.

BELGRADE, Aua. 17.

This afternoon the Paella received dispatches by a Tarter who
came in fear days from Adrianople. The Grand Vizier is said to
have arrived from Shamla with part of his troops for the defence
ot that important city, hay* Hussein Pacha to command in
/hernia.

BERLIN, „Alto. 211.
It is Armed here that the Sultan has sent Commissioner to the
Russian head-quarters, with very extensive powers Inc the conclu-
sion of peace.
It h reported that the Russian Government will contract a new
loan for 55 million' of dollars, with the houses of Frey. in Leipsk.
and Rothman, in Frankfort. The paper (80 per cent.) bears in-
terest at 4 per cent.
STOCKHOLM, Auo. 25.

On the 19th (two days before the Queen's Coronation) there was
a debate in the Chamber of Nobles on a motion of N. Von Ro-
sengevist, of Ackerahuit, that the Diet should request the Queen
to embrace the Evangelic Lutheran Religion. Baron C. H. Von
Anckersward opposed It as unworthy and indecorous, as the reli-
gious faith of the Queen could never be a subject of uneasiness to
the Swedes, or interrupt their religious peace. It was a disgrace.
he said, to our age, to the Chamber. and to the Nobles, that such
a proposal could ever be made. He therefore required. amidst
general cries of approbation and hurrahs, that the Land Marshal
should take no notice of it.
Count de U Gardie and other Members supported him, ea which
the Land Marshal. declined putting the question on the motion.
which was therefore wholly repulsed.

It appears, from various accounts: that the intelligence received
at Vienna from Constantinople is of the eth of August. What
has been said about letters dated the 10th and 14th of August has
not been confirmed ; and as the letters of the 10th were anxiously
looked for at Vienna on the 24th, it appears that no news of later
date than the Bth had then been received there. and farther Intel•
lime* was eagerly waited for. to see whether the Sultan and his
Counsel/ors bad given any farther proofs of willingness to accede
to the wishes of the Powers for the restoration of peace. The Aus-
trian Official Paper gives the following report from Odessa,Aug.l4 :
4, The plague seems to increase in the infected villages. The
physicians are of opinion that it has abated in maligns .but that it
spreads more quickly. About SO persons have died. The number
of suspected persons is equally great.—Heark. Courtmel. Sept. S.
