FOREIGN JVEIVS. By the arrival of the ship Henry 1uke at this port from Liverpool, whence she sailed August 12tb, we have London dates to the 1 lib ult. Au Express from Paris, received at London on the 10th, announced a total change of the French Ministry en masse. The Royal Ordinance under date of August 8lh, ordains the Prir.ce de Polignac, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The Sieur Courvoisier, is appointed Keeper of the Seals; Count de IiMjrmont, Secretary of the War Department; Caunt de Rigny, Secretary of the M trine and Colonial Department; C u)t de la Bmrdonnaye, Secretary for the D 'partm:nt of the Interior; the Baron de Month?, Secretary for the Department of Ecclesiastical Affairs. Tnis Decree also announces that the Department of Minister of Commerce and M mufactures is suppressed, and its functions are to be incorporated with those of the Dapartrnent of the Interior, The Count Chabrol de Crousol, is natiu'd Secretary of Finance, and the President of the Board of Trade and Colonics is to be placed under his authority. The Count de Chabrol, Prince de Polignac and the Count de la Boardonnaye,

are to hold ad interim the port-fenilles of 1 inance, Marine Colonies, and Lcclesiaticai atiYirs, respectively. The Count de Portalis, the Viscount de Caux, and B iron Hyde de Neuville, arenarnad Ministers of Stale and Member of the Privy Council. Prince Polignac took the oath on the evening ol August 8ih, to his Majesty at St. Cloud. The new French Ministry is decidedly a Royalist ministry, all the members being of what is called the Right or the Right Centre. It is predicted, however that they will adopt some measures of a liberal character to give popularity to their administration, such as doing away the monopoly of the University, and making it lawful for any one to teach and establish schools. A letter from Paris remarks that the change of a ministry is a total discomfiture of the Rus sian party. An article in the Gazette de France, supposed to express the sentiments of the new Minister, says that France wishes to preserve as much as it depends on her, the peace of Europe, that she has a right to inquire that no other power shall pass the limits estab lished by treaties, for were any to at tempt ityshe would be compelled to re member that during twenty years she possessed the Alp6 and the course of the Rhine. The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland has issued a proclamation, stating that a parof Orangemen on their return home after dining together in the vicinity of Aruey bridge, were attacked by an assembly of Ribandmen, when one of the Orangemen was piked to death, and six others wounded, three of whom had died. lie offers a reward of 2001. for the apprehension of the persons concerned in this murder, A London paper of the 10th, says At a late hour we are favored with intelligence, by express, fiom Constantinople, to the 17th ult. It fully confirms our statement that the Sultan instantly rejected ail overtures of peace from Russia, and that the olFers of mediation of the English and French Ambassadors were also declined. A London paper gives the following outline of the arrangement contemplated by the Secretary of State for the Metrepolitan Police, for the organization of which, powers were given him by a law of the late session of Parliament: The Police district is to consist of five divisions, in each of which is to be a superintendent. The total amount of force for the five divisions will not fall short of eight hundred men. The men employ ed will be divided into lour classes. J he superintendent at a salary of 200, an Inspector at a salary of 1001. per annum; the police sergeant will pay at the rate of 3s. Gd. a day ; the ordinary police constable, will pay at the rate of 3s. per diem. The men are to provide themselves out of their pay with a plain uniform of. a fixed pattern at contract prices. E ich man will have some distinguished badge by which the division of police to which he is attached and his number in that division, can at once be mentioned. No man will be accepted for the office of police constable who is not of vigorous constitution, who is above thirty-five years of age, and undei five feet seven inches in height. Thje commissioners require that the whole time of each man employed shall be devoted to the service of the police. No man will be allowed to exhaust his strength by labor during the day at other occupations. The whole police force will be gradually placed in such a degree of discipline, as may enable it to act with effect, should any occasion arise for its services as an united corp; for instance, the late riots in Spitaliields and tumultuous mobs of any kinds. Measures are in contemplation, by which the new noJice will be made useful in preventing aau in extinguishing tires, ana in the

preservation of life and property endangered by fire. By the arrival at this port on Wednesday morning of the packet6hip Ameth)st, from Liverpool, London papers up to the 19th ultimo, inclusive, are received. Accounts from the East agree in stating that the hope of peace between Russia and Turkey is no longer entertained, and that preparations are making on both sides, for carrying on war with increased vigor. The London Courier of Tuesday evening, August 18th, says, that official advices had heen received at St. Petersburg, of the capture, on the 27th of June, of Erztroum, and the fortress of Hassam Kale. At Erzeroum the Seraskier himself & four other Pachas were made prisoners, and 150 cannou had fallen into the hands of the Russians, o f which 29 were taken at Haesam Kale. The capture of this important city leaves all Asia open to the Russians. Intelligence of another character, however, had also been received, which had damped the public exultaiion and created general alarm. It announced that the plague was fast approaching Odessa, and that decided cases of that tremendous disorder had occurred within three miles of that city. An idea may be form

ed ol the importance attached to this intelligence by the Russian Government, when it is recollected that Odessa was the grand depot whence all the magazines of the army were supplied, and that if it be reduced to desert for the space of a few months only, the legions now beyond the Balkan may be slopped for the want of provisions in their victorious march, or delivered up helptess by famine into the hands of their enemies. A report from Count Diebitsch, dated July 21, says that in the action of Gan. Roth on the 19th in passing the Kamtchitu, and taking the Turkish camp, Ibrahim Pacha, who commanded there, was killed. Letters from Greek houses at Odessa were shown on Change at Vienna, Aug. 5, stating that Gen. Paskewitch had taken Etzroum in the middle of July and had made 10,000 prisoners. The Paris Constitutionel has a paragraph under date of Bucharest July 24th, which says, "at last the Balkan has been crossed by 60,000 Russians, and it is natural that all the eyes should be turned to the movements of this army, whilst the Grand Vizier remains with from 30,000 to 40,000 men at Shoumlain his position." Letters from Berlin, received at Fraikfort early in August, state that Russia is about raising a new levy ol men, 4 out of every 500 males. The promulgation of the Ukase has only been deferred until the Emperor has ascertained that his attempts to bring the Porte to terms of peace are useless. The popular Journals in France are loud in their expression of distaste and alarm at the new ministry. The Courier of the 17th says, we have just received a communication from Par is. It asserts that Admiral de Rigny has refused to join the new Ministry, and assigns au extraordinary reason for his refusal. From Niles' Register. MEXICO. Address of President Guerrero at the opening of the extraordinary session of the Mexican congress, August 4, 1829. Citizens, Deputies and Senators! It surely was incredible that a nation like Spain, without efficiency, without decision, and without resources, should persevere in the mad attempt of effecting the reconquest of Mexico. Present experience, however proves the contrary; and we know that the slaves of Ferdinand VII, have dared to profane the soil of our republic. Miserable men. They forget that the Mexicans are always independent ; thatthey are acquainted with their rights; that they kuow how to be free; and that it is an assault to offer themthe degrading condition of colonists, to which in times less fortunate they were reduced by a wretched adventure in 1519. Here follows a paragraph alluding to the information which had been communicated to the republic by the executive in relation to the Spanish expedition, and the preliminary measures which had been adopted to secure the safety of the republic And that nothing might be lacking in the present circumstances of the country, the executive, with the advice and consent of the council of government, decreed the assembling of congress in extraordinary sessions, having for its first and principal object, to provide such means as might be necessary in the departments of the treasury and of war. No determination could be more auspicious to the Mexicans, or more disheartening to those who seek at least to re-; duce us to slavery. Decision, patriotism and resources, exist in the bosom ofJ the republic, with the very interesting! and happy circumstance, that the same! system of government is the surest guarantee and the firmest support of our political existence. How has it triumphed in the uiueteen states, the district, and

the territories of the federation! What power can destroy it? The valor and hardihood of the soldier on duty, and the deliberation, prudence and wisdr.:l of the supreme powers of the union and the states, all combine for the safety of the republic. Fortunate, without doubt, is this day, fellow citizens! the country is receiving a new existence; and already on its altars every party is sacrificed ; there is not the slightest sym-

tom of disunion. Lteroal piaise to the patriotism and good judgment of the Mexicans. Senators and Deputies; accept mj congratulations! Continue our important and useful labors, give days of glory to your country, aid of confusion to y our enemies. Sustain your firmness and admirable institutions which afford so much satisfaction to the Mexican people. De pend upon the faithful adhesion of the executive in all things; with the solemn protest which I this day repeat, that 1 will never have any other rule of conduct except the constitution and the laws. I have done. We have no certain advices of the proceedings or prospects of the invading Spaniards, who, at the latest dates, were yet at Tampico. With so small a force, no important purpose can be accomplished, except to harass the people and government of Mexico; and with the power to subsist and transport even 3,000 men from place to place threatening one port or landing at another, Spain can accomplish a mighty mischief, and ex - ceeuingiy perplex me :uexicans, an eauj much embarrassed in their pecuniary resources, and rent by political feuds. It is probable, however, that the invasion will tend to pacify the parties and unite the people in the defence of the republic: i i i it. , T T : . 1 .. bul any considerable defection may lead! to a long and cruel civil war aud, if Spain can possess herselt ol, and hold, any of the large ports, he may indemnify herself fur the cost of the mischief she inflicts. But, if the invasion bhall teach the Mexicans the necessity of muon and of strict obedience to the constitution, and bring about an actual submission ot ihe military to the civil authority, this mischief will be amply compensated in the future welfare of the country. It is now said that Commodore Porter, is not under arrest as was stated, but was at the city of Mexico urging a settlement of his accounts. Additional Informatjox. The situation of our minister in Mexico, would appear from the following article, which we copy from the New York Mercantile Advcriispr, to be very un- ! pleasant, if not dangerously critical In speaking of the proposition made by several of ihe state Legislatures, and afterwards in the congress, to order Mr. Poinsett out of the country, the Sol says ; "Is the preseuce of Mr. Poinsett in the republic of more consequence than union amnn MpVmans?

the papers hint openly enough that un-;do. less he leaves the country he may he! Captain Eathen Allen Hitchcock, in-

made a bloody example, It will be perceived, from the following paragraph for which we are indebted to the same paper, that a Mexican force numerically equal to that of the invading Spanish army, and probably its superior in valor and resolution, as it is in the

up its march for Tampico. I An army of J500 infantry and 800 cav-! airy, left the city of San Luis on the 2d 1 August for Tampico, where they must! have arrived about the 13th. Tire troops' that composed the garrison of Tampico, the number of 400 were at Altimira, 20! miles from that place. One of the last papers mentions a report that an express had reached Mvxico, with information that a squadron of nine vessels, supposed Spanish, tilted out at Manilla, had arrived on th i west coast ot Mexico, and had been seen oil' Acapulco. BUENOS A YRES The civil war that lately prevailed in the provinces cf the Rio de la Plata has ended, after several small battles between the opposing parties. The terms of the treaty were, that hostilities should cease from the date of the treaty, and that communication between the town and country &hculd be established upon the same footing as formerly, the election of representatives to taUe place according to the laws, the duty of preserving peace in the country districts to devolve on Gen. Rosas, who was to takecharge ol the necessary arrangements. Alter the election of a permanent government, Lavalle and Rosas were to place their respective troops at its disposal: the troops under the revolting general were to be paid, and all the obligations entered into by their commander for their support were to be liquidated. No individual of whatever class or con dition to be molested on account of his political opinions anterior to the convention. Later accounts (to the oth August,) say that the election had taken place, aud that Lavelle had teen retained in power, much to the dissatisfaction of the better part ofthe population; and that

some account of the state of things in Mexico and Buenos Avres. Reports from Colombia and Peru shew also a much cuturbed and very unsettled condition, and "Central America" has been exhausted by its civil feuds. Chili, 'alone, seems to have something of a lib eral and regular government, no wnere eke does persons or property appear to be safe, and even Chili is vexed with conspiracies. This is a melancholy result of the sufferings of the people. They have become the prey of individuals less merciful, perhaps, than even their old masters, the Spaniards; and a very large proportion ot their best citijzens have been slanghtered in theendless conflicts, or expelled bv the never ending fluctuations of political misrule. We just learn that another revolution has taken place in Peru, effected without bloodshed, and resulting in favor of the "Bolivian party," general Gamarra being made president. Gen. Standander, late vice president of Colombia, who has suffered a very long and severe imprisonment, has, at length, obtained hbert) to depart exclusively for Euiope, with the condition that 'he shall not leave that part of the w orld

that many are suspended or expelled be fore the expiration ofthe four years and it is generally rather a small minority of the whole number that is seen to pass through the whole lour of service.

MR. VAN BUR EN. No Secretary of State, since the foundation of the government to the present moment, has had the labor to perform, or the difficulties to contend with, which Mr. Van Buren has since the present administration went into power. Neiiher he nor the President had ever been placed in situations previously, in which lojihey could have made themselves famil jar witn all the papers belonging to the Department of State, and the details of business belonging to our foreign reiaHow had it been withother Presidents and other Secretaries of State. General Washington had Mr. JelTe rgon, who commenced his political career with the commencement of all our republican institutions who had grown up with all its concerns. He had contributed to form it, and had been a foreign miiiister shortly after it went into operation. Mr. Jt fTereon was made President after being thus drilled in all our foreign affiiirs He, of course, was familiar with the business ofthe Department ol Slate, and particularly with our relations abroad. He selected Mr. Madison, who had the advantages of Mr. It ffereon's familiarity with the State Department and our foreign affaire. Mr. Madison selected Mr Monroe, who had also been a foreign minister. Mr. Monroe, Mr. Adams. The latter had been a long time a foreign Minister; and after serving eight years in the Department of State was made President. He selected Mr. Clay, to whom he could impart, at any time, his knowledge of the papers and details oi the rflice. I he two nrst Presidents had assisted in layirg the foundation of the Republic; of course, they were familiar with its history. The foiir following Presidents had all served in the Department of State, and of course we re familiar with the business of that office, and could render any assistance to a recently appointed Minister of State f which his new situation might demand.

His lofty patriotism his glorious t-ervi-ccs -nia all-in integrity and unwavering honeslv, had justly made him the favorite of the nation, and placed him in the Presidential chair. " Independent erf these considerations, Mr. Van Buren has had to fit out rriofo foreign ministers, in the same time, than ny becretary of State ev er had before. He has had to furnish 3 or 4 ministers equal to the great occasion, he will have tested his character, and given evidence ofa strength of mind and fertility in resources, which must place him very high in public estimation.
