We have received the following from Dover :—Ar-
rived—in his Majesty's Post-office packet the Crusader,
Captain LlNE—the Hon. HENRY WELLESLEY, from
Vienna, with dispatches from his Excellency Lord
COWLEY. Mr. WF.LLESLEY left the Embassy on
Thursday se'nnight, and brings, it is said, the important
news that the head-quarters of the Russian Commander-
in-Chief was Heydos (Aidos), and that the advance on
Constantinople had not yet taken place, as was reported.

News have arrived from Madeira that the garrison
there was in a state of mutiny against the actual Captain-
General MON TEIRO.

The Times being brought at last to his better con-
victions, which we feared he had altogether abandoned,
has found himself compelled—by the portentous aspect
of affairs—to turn right round upon the Noble Duke,
and accuse him and his colleagues of Ministerial im-
potency, only twenty-four hours after his declaration
that he supported his Grace because of his superlative
Ministerial efficacy. We hope he will not attempt
to go back, nor to deny, nor explain away his
meaning, which is too unambiguous to be mis-
taken : " the day"—he says—" is past, for manifesta-
tions of vigour by the English Government." Let
him stick to that, and we will presently throw up
our caps for him again. To be sure, the day is past ;
but under the Mton of the Noble Marshal, that day never
existed. Vigour ! What vigour could we expect from
such men as Lord ELLENBOROUGH and Mr. GOUL-
BURN—the Earl of BATIIURST and Mr. PEEL? A
rat Lord Chancellor, and a rat Attorney-General ! We
will not argue here about the five or seven swords in the
Administration, because it is political— not military—
vigour which we are now discussing, and swords cannot
impart that to a Cabinet. But look at Mr. HERMES !
What do you think of him, by way of a vigorous Minister ?
At all events, he had the praise of defeating some who
were " vigorous." As to the Noble Earl at the head of
the Foreign Office, and the Noble Duke at the head of
all the Offices, they vindicate for then:selves a vigour
which is peculiarly characteristic--the vigour of perfidy

and intrigue : they mal-administer their own Govern-
ment, and assist foreign tyrants to mal-administer theirs !
But if it be a question to preserve untarnished the
honour of the English name—to avenge the national
flag, insulted by a minion of METTERN ic it on its own
prescriptive dominion—to coerce within its proper limits
the encroaching spirit of the North, when its ob-
jects are become too visible to be mistaken by this
country : if it be a question to rei.oera the pledges
given to Portugal, and assurances of protection
guaranteed to Greece—a question, in fine, whether
England shall sneak and trackle, or maintain her just
pre-eminence among the kingdoms of the earth—the
compromising, and not the commanding alternative, is now
the invariable choice of the British Cabinet. A sensi-
ble, and really popular contemporary, evidently refer-
ring to an article in the Journal du Cominerce, which we
publishid yesterday—and which the Times treats with
more levity than discrimination—expresses himself con-
cerning this political degeneracy as follows :

" We should regret exceedingly to inculpate the policy of a
Minister whose glory it was to have saved Europe from an universal
monarchy ; but we cannot but recollect that the time was when a
word was the signal for a blow from this country, and that the
blow generally preceded the word—that Russia, at one time, durst
as soon have threatened to take the capital of England as to
have despised a remonstrance on the part of her Govern-
ment.—and that now her armies are within a few leagues
of the capital of an ancient ally—her fleets sailing boldly
through the English Channel, to aid in the work of aggrandize--
ment, and the degradation of England—and that as yet only we
hear of Cabinet meetings—of messengers traversing the Continent,
of interviews with Prussian and Russian Ambassadors, of two
hours' interviews, and such like nonsense! Would it no: have
been better to have dispached a fleet to the Mediterranean, and
(to use the language of a gallant Admiral, who knew of no other
mode of negociation or interview than that which was held
through the medium of broadsides from British men-of-war), to
have " captured and sunk, as per margin, so many Russian ships
of war ?"

This is language worthy of the purest times of English
policy, when the heroic national spirit was unbroken,
and undegraded ; but which we may yet soon hear again
resounded from all sides, if men of principle—instead of
mercenary speculators—can get possession of the public
press. How sincere is the language of true patriotism !
How impossible to mistake in its purity, or to be con-
founded with the specious brilliancies put forth by knaves
to mislead the honest, or by partisans to uphold a party !
Names do not stand in its way, nor powerful patronage, to
choke its utterance : it is no respecter of persons, but
fastens fearlessly upon the public delinquent, and sus-
tains—without fee or favour—the man who deserves beat
of his country.

It is clear—from the moral phenomena which
are accumulating round us—that the WELLINGTON
Ministry cannot hold its ground ; and although
we do not deny to that illustrious Commander

the glorious fame which he has acquired, u well for
England as himself, by leading her armies to victory,
we are not the less convinced that he is now feat
hurrying her to political degradation. But it seems
that the Noble Duke's memorable averment of his own
incapacity was to go for nothing with those, who were
determined to hazard even the existence of the Con-
stitution upon the experiment of bringing back the
CASTLEREAGH system of government under so con-
genial a leader. It has been tried to its farthest extent
—and GOD knows—the patient people have endured
it quietly : but they find, now, that it is time to change.
Aut nunc—aut nunquam ! It cannot, however, be too
often reiterated, that a greater support to the Noble DUKE
than all his band of confederating oligarchs—with the bro-
ther of that unconstitutional Minister at their head—was
derived from the tergiversation of the Times. Its esta-
blished popularity made it an engine of inconceivable
power, either to gain the acquiescence of the people,
or excite its dissatisfaction at that critical conjuncture.
It abused it for the former purpose ; but it is now
turning round again, and seeking to conciliate the rising
storm, by denouncing—as incapable, yesterday—zits
whom he lauded for superior attributes the day before.

The Beglerbiglicz—in other words, the provinces tri-
butary to the GRAND TURK—are at present the most
afflicted country on the face of the earth. In addition
to the plague and the presence of a victorious enemy, a
new scourge has visited them in the shape of locusts.
Egypt, in its days of wretchedness, was scarcely less ag-
grieved. The following are extracts from the German
Papers received this day :
FRONTIERS OF WALLACHIA, Auo. 7.
_ _

A new scourge has within these few days threatened our pro-
vince. According to an official account from Tockschany the dis-
trict of Rimnik, and the country about Wrislaw, have suffered for
the last week by the ravages of swarms of locusts, which come from
Moldavia and gradually spread themselves towards the Danube.
The President bas issued the most urgent orders for the extirpation
of this plague, and the Divan is enjoined to have them punctually
executed. Some days before the arrival of the locusts the
district of Rimnik was visited also by a dreadful hail.torm,
in which many cattle and even some men lost their lives.—
The plague which, as the weather grew warmer, made greater
progress, and for a fortnight carried off between forty and
fifty persons daily, has been less fatal for a few days past, the
deaths being seldom more than five or six in a day. Nevertheless,
the number of persons infected and of suspicious cases, is still very
great. Measures have now been taken to preserve the hay in
magazines. The two principalities are to have 4$ magazines, in
which provisions of all kinds are to be deposited. The Commis-
sariat in Jassy has concluded with a merchant from the Backswina
a contract for 50,000 chetwerts of oats, and 5,000 chetwerts
of flour, and the Commissariat in Bucharest is said to have orders
to send 70,000 chetwerts of flour and oats front Moldavia and
Wallachia to Tourmoul, whence these supplies will be sent to their
further destinations.

ODESSA, Aug. 10.
The Board of Health has enjoined all the inhabitants to confine
themselves to their houses. Only the masters of families are al-
lowed to go to the markets, each attended by a servant. On the
same day, notice was given that in the village of Little Knjalnik,
near Ynatory-Khutova (a village previously infected) three per-
sons had died of the plague; and that in the same place there are
four other persons attacked by the disorder. This village being
out of the district already insulated, has been surrounded by a
cordon of Cossacks.—Though the sanitary state of the port conti-
nues to be satisfactory, it has nevertheless been resolved to send
away the merchantmen that have been freighted by the Crown :
they are to go to other ports to take in their cargoes, as there is
danger at Odessa under present circumstances.

CITY. Twinve o•CLocc.

Consols, which left off yesterday at 883 89 for the account,
opened at the same price this morning ; but owing to the various
reports of naval preparations, and fleets going to the Mediterranean,
being contradicted by the evening and morning papers, and a
report this morning also of the great probability of an approaching
peace between Russia and Turkey, the Consol market has im-
proved, and Consols are at present 89a, and 881 for money.
The foreign market, to this hour, is not worth the least notice—
nothing doing.

CITY, HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.

The Consol Market continues rather heavy—not on account of
political information, but owing to some Money Stock being
brought to Market. Consols may be quoted at 89, alternately
buyers and sellers during the whole of the morning; and 881
for Money.
In the Foreign Market, Portuguese Stock has Improved. In
other foreign securities nothing doing. Portuguese, 47.
