VIENNA, Sm. 25.

An English courier has arrived Mere, who left Constantinople
on.the 10th. He brings word that General Diebitsch was will at
Adrianople on the 12th. Though the news of the taking of
Shumla has reached us by different channels, it does not seem to
be fully confirmed.
The official publication of the treaty of peace is every moment
expected.
From a more recent letter from Vienna, it appears that mercan-
tile letters from Bucharest, received on the 26th Sept. have announ-
ced and spread the report that peace was signed on the 14th.

We confine ourselves to reprinting the following phrase of the
Moniker :—" The Charter being the guarantee of Royalty, as
Royalty is the guarantee of the Charter, how is it possible to
suppose that the Ministers should be so ill-advised as to destroy
the contract which unites the King with the nation, and oat
which their common inviolability reposes?" And we should not
return to this imprudent and guilty phrase if it did not appear to
designate the desperate crisis of the Ministry. They evidently
wanted to he considered as royalty, and to make it run their
risks, expose it to their perils, and oblige it to enter into a personal
defence. Obliged to retreat, and being as cowardly as they are
presumptuous, they expose to danger that royalty which is so
necessary to the safety of all. In order to justify themselves. they
declare in principle in the Monitesse, that if a Ministry were found
capable of that with which they are reproached, royalty might
cease to be inviolable.
We do not comprehend what is meant by the inviolability of the
nation, but the inviolability of the King is indestructibly engraved
in our hearts. It is the fundamental principle of the Charter; it per-
vtdes every part of it, and it will survive the partial and fleeting
alterations in the laws. If a Ministry, therefore, was so ill advised, so
audacious, so la Bourdonnaye, to make a violent attack on any one of
our institutions, the passive resistance of all good men, the protests of
the powers of the State, the refusal to pay taxes would be legiti-
mate and necessary ; but only the Monsieur dares assert that
Royalty would be no longer inviolable. There would be treason
among the Ministers, and sooner or later they would be impeached
before the Chamber of Peers. That would happen which has been
provided for by the 56th Article of the Charter ; for what greater
treason can there be than a conspiracy of the Ministers against the
laws of the country ? But Royalty would preserve its grand and
inviolable Charter.

PARIS, OCT. 5.

Perhaps the theory of M. Bonal.l may not be generally remem-
bered; but the clever members of all parties will not have for-
gotten it. Administrative Constitutions, said M. Bonald, in
the Conaervatestr, being an artificial combination, more or less in-
jurious—every Nliniuer„ according to his mind and disposition.
enters more or less into this artificial system, and takes or re-
jects the two conflicting systems nut of which it is formed. The
ingenious solution given by M. VlBrie of the system of the Charter,
is also to he found in the Conservateur. His representative system
includes the Liberty of the Press circumscribed, Petitions discussed
with closed doors, two species of Election, the candidateship being
placed in the lesser properties, and the vote in the large properties.
Such is :he Charter as it is drawn up by the legislator of Toulouse—
a system which has since been amplified by M. Cottu.
After hearing M. de Villele as a Publicist, let us look at hint
as a Minister, and we find him practising despotism in the name
of the Charter, and giving to caprice a legal form. This is now
definitely and completely carried into effect ; it is the object for
which 31. de Pulignac and his colleagues are united. This pro-
ject is not new; it was first conceived in 1815, after the events
which favoured the contempt publicly announced for the Char-
ter :n 1814. It was then perceived, not only that the Logone
ought to have been different, but that it might be made use of
as a respectable cloak to cover the nakedness of some pretrudona
too Aristocratic or Ultra-Monarchical. Under this point of view,
the veneration and love displayed few the Charter by the majority
in Ist 3, Were very remarkable. By biro:jog t" s Charter, M. de
la Bourciontiaye and his friends, and, at a lake period, M. de

Vinci,. have enacted measures the most destructive of our regional
institutions. M. de Polignac has not hesitated to avow that he i 4
converted to the Charter, of which he nuw undertands the naysir-
rious meaning.
The same plan of biding one's self behind a word, and making
things lie for us, is now more than ever the order of the day.
It prevails in all poets, and is apparently allowed to be seen by
design, in order to prepare the mind of the public for greater
changes. The Charter is undoubtedly the wooden knew ut
which our enemies wish to conce themselves, in order to sur-
prise and conquer public liberty. The Quotiditane was the
first to enter the breach to the cry :of Monarchical interpretation.
These words express the whole Ministerial plan. The counter-
revolutionary victory is in the fundamental law properly inter-
preted. By these means we shall have a Representative Govern-
ment, which represents the doctrines of the emigrant, the preten-
sions of courtiers, and the interests of privileges ; a Press which the
Minister shall be at liberty to silence or not.

THE EAST INDIA NAVAL SERVICE.

FROM A CORRESPONDENT.

The investi;,►ation which has for some weeks past been
going on at the East India House, relative to charges preferr. d
Against Captain Thomas Larkins, Commander of the Hon.. Com-
pany's ship Marquess Camden. terminated ye,terday.
The charges preferred by Mr. Hayiett, Captain Larkines Chief
Officer, were tried before the Shipping Committee ; Capt. Wm.
Stanley Clarke, President of the Court.
The following is the official statement of the charges preferred
against Captain Larkins :
" re Tat 1110FOUILIIIILZ THE comstrraa or SNIPPING. EAST INDIA 'totter.

" HosoultAllLE Stas— In presuming to appear before you, believe
me I Dave a painful teak to perform ; but impelled by a sense
of duty which I owe to myself, and which to surrender would be
almost criminal, I have no alternative, and feel bound to peeler the
following Charges against Capt. Thomas Larkins, commander of
the lion. Company ship Marquis Camden :
`t First Charge—Fer putting me under close between the
hours of two and three o'clock on the morning of the nth Novem-
ber, 1828, whilst moored in the Whampoa River; and although
serious indisposition was the consequence of this solitary confine-
ment, and my life was considered by some in imminent danger,
yet it was not until the 25th of the same month, when, by the in-
terference of t►e President and Select Committee, an order was
issued by them for my immediate release.
" Second Charge—ln challenging me to personal combat on the
poop of the Hon. Company's ship Marquess Camden, on the
evening of the 26th March, 1828, during the period that I was
officer of the watch.

" Third Charge—ln addressing Die at various time during the
voyage iu language the most gross, revolting, and insulting—de-
moralising in its example, emanatini from the Commander of the
ship, derogatory to the character of a gentleman, disgraceful and
highly censurable as an officer in the Honourable Company's Ser-
vice. (Signed) WM. HAYLETT,
Chief Officer H. C. S. Marquess Camden."
The Court has sat upon these charges almost from day to day.
Nearly all the officers and crew of the Marquis Camden have been
examined at great length, and separate evidence taken on each dis-
tinct charge. Several of the common sailors spoke to the validity
of the statements preferred by Mr. Hallett, whilst, on the other
hand, the officers and part of the crew wholly negatived them.
The evidence having been gone through, the Court proceede.l to
consider of its judgment. The complainant was served with two
distinct notices, apprizing him of the day on which the case was to
be decided, but to neither of these notices was attention paid.
The Court therefore proceeded to suns up the merits of the rase
in the absence of the accuser, and through the President, Capt.
Clarke, the Court honourably acquitted Captain Larkins, who
immediately received the congratulations of his friends.
The Court of Dire. tots of the Company, at the usual weekly
meeting, held yesterday afternoon, confirmed, as is understood, the
proceedings of the Court of Inquiry.
