In Kent tranquility had been partly restored
the burnings having somewhat ceased. In
Bucklnghamshire, however, riots and fires con.
tinued, and the loss of machinery and other
property was estimated at fI2,000 sterling
In Berkshire, Surry, and Middlesex, the mobs
had set fire to rieks of grain of all kinds. Simi.
lar accounts of the destruction of property we
observe in the papers under the heads of Bed
fordshire Oxfordshire, Lincolnshire, Hunting
donshire, Cornwall, and Hampshire. The riot
ers appear to direct their excrtions principally
against grain and machinery.
THE NEW MINISTRY. By the speech of the
Earl Grey, in the Lords, it appears that the
Administration have pledged themselves spon-
taneously and solemnly to three great principles
of policy, domestic and foreign. His lordship
announced, as the grounds on which he means
to rest the claims of his government to the
national appreciation and support =
/. A correction of those abuses which have
been introduced by time into the representation
of the people in Parliament
=. An unsparing retrenchment of all but tho
most unavoidable expenses in the public estab
iishments
3. A complete system of non-intefercnce on
all those questions which are now disturbing
and dlstraetiBg the Continent of Europe, so far
as the national honor would permit.
Ii these pledges are kept, it may fairly be
presumed that, directly or indirectly, every
duty Ola minister, and every right and interest
of the nation, may be comprehended and pro
vided for under these heads
IT is understood that the Duke of wellington
will support the present Administration a de
termination which we consider more strongly
indicative OF. his Grace's love of his country
than even the most brilliant of his military
achievements-Cou Journal
WARLIKE PREPARATIoSs AT THE TOWER
Ehe Tower is now completely closed agains
the public; and no person is allowed to ente

quantity OF ammunition, are piled up in variou
places, and pieces of ordnance have been rails

STATE OF EUROPE.
The connections which have taken place,
seem to have agtated the governments of every
nation in Europe, and from all quarters. &C.
counts are received of the raising and arminp
OF troops and of other warIike preparations. We
should hope that these are only precautionary
measures, in anticipation of tho worst that NAV
happen, though many suppose they indicate the
intention of commencing immediate war. Tho
