We should hardly have noticed, so pointedly as we do
now, the rumours of a near dissolution of the Noble
Duke's administration, if the pertinacity with which a
Morning Paper re-iterates its contradiction of yester-
day, did not lead us to fancy that there is more in it
than meets the public ear. According to this print,
some proposals have been made to the Noble Premier
by parties with whom he is not accustomed to act,
having for their object an union of these parties with
his Grace's Government, provided that the Noble
Duke will dissociate himself from Mr. Pan.. This,
it is contended, the Duke of WELLINGTON can
never do, without commission of the basest ingratitude :
that they are twin spirits—arcades ambo —in reference
to the great Relief Bill, and that they must stand or fall
together. It is called " unheard-of and stupid inso-
lence ," a monstrous and beastly proposition"—one almost
thinks it is CORBETT speaking up for some genial dema-
gogue, instead of the Times for Mr. PaEL—to stipulate
for the sacrifice of the Right Hon. Minister. We will
not urge now all that we feel upon the subject : we said
sometime ago, that unless a new cause of dissatisfaction
should be given, we would support the Duke of WEL-
LINGTON'S administration for the sake of the measure
which had passed, and—as a matter of course—Mr. Pear.
with it. That cause has not yet presented itself; and, till it
does, we will not go out of our way to assail those political
inveteracies which—we much fear --Mr. Pan. will never
relinquish. But there is a wide difference between ab-
staining from attack upon the Right Hon. Secretary,
and the being ourselves the trumpeters of amazing public
merits, ascribed to him so lavishly by his new supporters
—and ascribed to him, we feel convinced, beyond all
measure of his desert. With regard to the reports in
question, though we are not prepared to offer them any cor-
roboration on our parts, we are by no means inclined to dis-
credit them. We know that there are many private
matters which embarrass the Government, and the more
notorious difficulties arising from the state of the Empire
in general, and the perspective which its finance involves,
are alone sufficient to dismay the stoutest helmsman.

The German Papers pretend that General DIEBITSCH
sent Mr. FOSTER after the battle of the II th June into
Shumla, where they had told us the GRAND VIZIER had
saved himself with only 600 horse, and where he had left
only a feeble garrison, to perform the burial of the dead
fallen at Madam, distant 10 miles, and on ground occu-
pied by the Russians. In the first place, the Turks never
care about their dead, killed in battle against infidels, for
they believe the souls of these martyrs instantly spring
into the presence of Mahomet, and that they are put into
possession of all the joys of paradise, without any previ-
ous process of purgation —Secondly, as the disease, pro-
ceeding from infected atmosphere, is one of the means of
Turkish defence—for we were told by the Odessa letters,
that the Turks even exhumed their buried dead for that
object—it is not likely that Gen. DIE BITSCII could flatter
himself the GRAND VIZIER would assist him in a work,
which, though pious in itself, was most prejudicial to the
surviving Turks under his command, by rendering the
Russian encampment more sanitary. The fact indis-
putably is, though there may be a wish to conceal it in
Russia, from false notions of pride, that Gen. DIEBITSCII
availed himself of his success in obliging the GRAND
VIZIER to fall back into Shumla by the roads inaccessible
to artillery, to open a pacific negociation, and that he
did, from a consciousness of more difficulties being op-
posed to his progress than the Russian State Gazette,
and other writers in the interest of Russia, have ad-
mitted. It is now the 23d July, and we have no account
of any advantage even being obtained over the Turkish

forces in Shumla, or at the passes of the Balkan since the
day of battle, the 11th June : so that the GRANDVINIER
has had at least a month's repose to re-organise his force,
if it wanted re-organization, after a few hours quiet re-
treat, and to receive reinforcements.
It is now said the GRAND VIZIER reached Shumla
With twelve thousand infantry, and six thousand instead
of six hundred home, and this is more probably the truth.
To this force must bn added the twelve thousand men left
to defend the Balkan mats, which, with the five or six
thousand killed and wooded, ill account for the whole
army engaged at Pravadi. jn making. these military

and as delays are on numerous accounts hazardous and
disadvantageous. We want to see a Greece consti-
tuted, in which civilization may announce her labours
under the aegis of the great Powers of Europe, and ton-
stitutionslaecurity for persons and property. We would
not have the Greeks forfeit the protection of the sub-
scribing parties to the Treaty of the 6th of July, which
is the qharter of her virtual independence, by carry-
ing on hostilities when suspension of arms is re-
quired, and is agreed to by the Turks : but we trust,
as we suggested the other day, that without force being
employed, the freedom of Athens will be obtained by the
allied negociators, not as the seat of arbitrary empire, but
as the seat of learning and of the arts, which tend to po-
lish and ennoble the views of mankind.

IXTIACT OT ♦ LITTER FROM MIELIN.

" Denny July 90.

" The Bth Hussars have been marched from Dublin—
three troops to Cavan, two to Fermanagh, one to Mo-
naghan, and an Infantry regiment will follow.
"The Government is resolved on enforcing the laws,
and carrying their prochupation into vigorous and impartial
execution. This decision may not only restore peace for
the present, but have very desirable results, as many of
' the late most considerable leaders of the Orange party

have joined the Government—and seem resolved to co-
' operate cordially for the extinction of its organization, as
well as the suppression of its violences, which are an in-
evitable effect of its existence.—lt is said the unarmed
Catholics at Fermanagh, charged the armed Orangemen
after they had fired a volley, and drove them off their
ground."

The Flanders Mail, at a late hour this afternoon,
brought us the following important intelligence from the
seat of war, by which it will be seen that the Russians
are going on triumphantly. Shumla is next to be in-
vested with a commanding force ; and, from the recent
reverses of the Turks, it is very clear that they will
not be able to maintain the fastnesses of the Balkan, upon
which they relied with so much confidence :

NEWS FROM THE THEATRE OF WAR.

In addition to the news of the surrender of Mania, we have
received the following Russian bulletin from the camp at Jeudechi-
KW before Sitanda, dated the 44th of June :

" The Grand Vizier, who on the Sti day after his defeat no-
ceeded in returning to Sbumla at the head of a small detachment
of cavalry, makes vain exertions to re-organise an army. The
fugitives who succeed in returning to the fortress in small parties.
are not in sufficient number to iU up the immense chums in the
ranks. Besides, most of the soldiers, as well of the regular as the
irregular corps, have taken advantage of the defeat to endeavour to
return to their own homes ; so that of 40,000 men, that the
Grand Vizier had before Privet% carcely 15,000 will have re-
turned to their colours. Our army, awaiting tie issue of the siege
of Silistria, is in a position to observe the movements of the Tarim.
and to hinder them from interrupting, even for a moment, the
operations of the besieging corps. Meantime the enemy, terriW
by his defeat, at Kuintscha, remain shut up in numb, and has
not even ventured to attempt anything against Lieut.-General
Madatoff, who, at the ►ead of sixteen squadrons, advanced, on the
14th of this month, to Bald Dscbuma, which be found deserted.•'
