WE cannot say that we admire Lord PALMERSTON'S feat of putting a pistol to the head of Xing 01%0, and making him stand and deliver. It is an amusing picture, certainly, to behold his Greek Majesty in such strait, Sir ED/PHND LYONS threatening to seize his naval furniture for the debt or for its interest —the fright of COLEITI, the anger of his Majesty at being exposed to the rmienese of such a troublesome customer as Sir Entomb LYONS, and M. PPSCATORY coming forward to oar LOCHS PHILIPPE'S bail, are all very amusing incidents. But are they digmilied ? Are they politic ? Did we really want the Wray P or did we condescend to play the bully he it, iswidy to be avenged of M. C.oxsrri P of Greece has been so ice( and se often unn i r far this " trifle," that it pro bably ad not think the English creditor could be so wipe.. or, at least, so rude. We hope that the Greek government had fair warning of our violent inten tions, for, if unexploded, such conduct was the more' outrageous and unwarranted. We can understand and admire the conduct of the Ameriaut government in boldly telling the King of France, that if he did not pay the American claims, they would seise his ships. That was a manly—nay, a glorious threat, offered to such a country as France, which, we think, also showed magnanimity in coolly paying the dollars. But England to behave in this manner to Greece, BRITANNIA taking MINERVA by the collar, is neither pleasant nor classic to think of. Poor as we are, we must tell Lord Pstmgagron we had rather have done without the money. We are no worshippers of Greece, and regret most profoundly that we ever gave it a Bavarian king, or lent him English money. But Great Britain having stood godmother for the young monarch, ought not to treat him ignominiously. Greece may be froward and ungrateful, may have turned out the contrary of what we wished—despotic, not liberal ; cruel, not humane ; barbarous, not civilised. But shall we mend it by insult and coercion ? The manage meat of Greek affairs is at present in the hands of a party which abuses its influence. Were it not better to observe this conduct in a quiet and disapproving, but not resentful attitude? Sorrow more than anger should become any possible feeling of England towards Greek errors. And the nation itself is so small, so infantine, that, really, harsh treat ment of it is indecorous, as the entertaining any spirit of rivalry towards it, or its ministers, ought to be beneath an English statesman. When a country or a monarchy, which we have raised ap and protected, and with which, in return, we have stipulated that it should found a system of public liberty—when such a monarchy belies its pro- , wise and falsifies its trust, it does not bcbng to us to avenge these broken stipulations by war. We should, however, withdraw our countenance from that people, and mark our disapprobation by the recall of our minister. To leave him at his post forces him to the alternative of either acquiescing in despotism and ar bitrary rule, or of setting up an opposition to the existing king and government within the walls of the British embassy. We think this latter system impolitic and undignified. It is the position of Sir EDMUND LYONS, Who carries on this war with King OTRO, and the opposition to Cocerri, with great spirit and talent no doubt, but with spirit and talent unhappily applied to attain petty ends and foster petty animosities. The quarrel between Sir EDMUND LYONS and M. PISCATORT, at Athens, strikes us as the most puerile affair in the world. Lord PALMERSTON and M. OVIZOT. firing at each other from the benches of their respective parliaments, are equally puerile. Lord PALMERSTON characterises the government of M. Co tern very truly, as a mean and rascally mixture of violence, rapacity, and corruption. M. (10130 T retorts by calling CoLErri glorious, and swearing that he will Fajen the glorious old fellow's debts. Parliament here, the Chamber there, applaud their respective foreign ministers—neither condescending to take a fair and impartial view of their differences. There they stand, the two greatest and most civilised nations in the world, scolding and squaring at each other like a pair of schoolboys, without dignity or purpose. Lord JORN MANNERS' demand of a wordy sentence to be passed against einem by the English parlia ment, we cannot but esteem a very foolish proposal. And we cannot but think Lord emareasros s so cordance of it, and the approbation of his conduct by some very pacific veterans, like Mr. HUME, who ought to know better—a very foolish proceeding. "Young England" may play such pranks, but Old England," in the person of Mr. Hume, and of our foreign secretary, ought not to cut such caper. But the contagion of puerility is very great, and seems irresistible in both countries. M. I3ILItULT, in the Paris Chamber, made a most perfect echoolboy speech, and M. Gnu', of course, replied in his best boy fashion. Nothing could be more rich in puerile eloquence than the ministerial reply. BILLAULT reproached the French minister with sending a naval expedition and envoy to China to conclude a treaty of commerce, to ape England, England driving a trade with Canton of 300,000,000 of francs, French com merce, at the same time, amounting to 397 francs and a few centimes. To this Muter G CIZOT magnanimously replied, that his mission was not a commercial one. It was for the sake of claiming and exercising the hereditary Pro. tectorate which France had in all ages held over Chinese Christians!! What English orator could ever answer this in.. effable burlesque, unless, indeed, poor LISTON, were he alive? What pen could undertake to refute such Brobdignag lies, save SwiFr himself? Englishmen and English ministers must succumb in this kind of argument, nor will they lase dignity by remaining silent and giving up the palm to their rivals. THE Irish landlords are engaged in a perilous war. They certainly have the advantage of ministers in the House of Lords, and can make minced meat of their measures. But this triumphant campaign in West minster must be followed up by battles on a very different ground, and against antagonists much more formidable than liberals can be in the House of Lords. In his amendments on the Irish Poor-law, Lord STANLEY, in the name of the Irish landlords, elites* into war with two important climes—the inhabi tants of towns, and the tenant-occupiers of land in the country. To the towns, on Friday, he procured the denial of all relief or aid from the surrounding coun try in the nourishment of their lower population. To day, the same bold champion takes the field against the occupiers, throwing upon them the whole burden of the poor-rates, and the task of finding coin to meet the coutinued levies of the tax-gatherer. The war between the townsman and the landlord will prove a serious one, for it will infallibly blend with the strife, traditional and flourishing in Ireland, between the upper and middle class. The proposed poor-law gives every advantage to the landlord in making him master of the board of guardians. But this has not contented him ; and we think, that when the act comes into operation, should it do so, he will find reason to regret his having desired and obtained so mach influence and so many immunities. What is to become of the poorandcompletely indigent, in the midst of this 'trifle between the two elapses above him, is painful to contemplate. It is not merely the pauper, but the able-bodied labourer, who will become a shuttlecock between town and country dis tricts. Each will exert itself to afford him no habita tion. Each will shrink even from giving him that work which would be profitable to labourer and to employer. And the Irish peasant will find himself more perse cuted than ever. Under the old system he was ousted from his bit of land. Now, not only will the potato garden be denied him ; but, let him be ever so stal wart a hewer of wood and drawer of water, the townsman will not have his services. Not only will the old cause of great competition for land, and the augmented cause of the desire of the landlord to deer, tend more and more to uproot and unsettle the population; but Lord CLANRICARDR and Lord GRIST, and all statesmen tell us, that evert if the landlord was willies to permit it, the Irish peasant can no longer depend on his bit of land—he must look to employ. The surplus of labour in Ireland will then be tripled. The limiting the rates to electoral districts will act as an laxative to both town and country not to absorb, not to aespiwy aq ensismiciliated labour. Mew diskiete, goese psi one Wawa break down mho the law and make it inoperative, and thereby all tim good and economised management of other diabiets will lose its offset, since the demoralised half of the country will soon swamp and overrun the more disciplined half with poverty and crime. The growth or resuscitation of llockism is, therefore, to be looked to as one of the effects of the Irish poor law, passed as it will be. The only chance of en forcing the poor law, and of rendering it salutary, would be to enlist the efforts and good wishes of the intermediate classes in its favour. But the bill, as passed by the Lords, alienates and disgusts both tenant and townsman, by flinging on their backs a very unfair share of the burden. Passed in this state, it is sot unwise, indeed, to declare it temporary ; no one for a moment could consider such provisions to be _permanent or durable. u B t whatever fault may be found with a poor law for Ireland, and whatever may be the difficulties of working it, and the hardships attendant on it, there is at least this grand argument for it, that no one has proposed any substitute, any other mode of deal ing with the stale of Ireland. The poor law, there fore, in some shape or other, is a law introduced by universal consent. Thus introduced, thus passed in the House of Commons, it would be monstrous were the Upper House so to maim it, as to render it so un presentable to Ireland, or to be impossible for any minister to give it his sanction. What a result would this be of an entire session of parliament ! No result of the congregated wisdom of theompire, but a temporary measure of alms and a few irmhties for tlraieugn! IVhy. it tetrad' be ludicrous. It would not ardy reader parliament ridiculous, but would discredit thi 'vs eye rem itself in the eyes of Buret* of the ro= Ay for the Irish, we cannot but say that they have better grounds than ever were found by them for demanding the repeal of the union; for any resolve of no measures for Ireland would be nothing lees, in the present ease, than an admission, on the pas of England, of its incapacity to govern Ireland. For such failure in the art, and in the ends of government, the state of parties is, no doubt, one great reason. Such is their balanced and divided state, that parliament itself must be considered the execu tive of the country. Its deliberations and decisions are those of a cabinet council, u well as of a legislative one. But in the House of Commons the inconvenience of this state of things is felt, and the men of most influence there have the good sense, by mutual concessions and by sinking extreme differences and petty rivalries, to allow the main wheels of government to keep iu activity. But the House of Lords would stop the machine altogether, by flinging in their class prejudices to clog it. If they do so stop the machine, the House of Lords ought to be called on to undertake the government of I the country and of Ireland. The Commons should abdicate. The Paris journals and our correspondence of Fri day and Saturday have readied us. The disorganisation of the cabinet, produced by its internal disunion and the uninterrupted succession of blows it has lately received in the chamber, was the, subject of conversation, and supplied a fruitful source of ridicule and invective to the opposition press of every hue, from La Pratte downwards, for that journal has now become one of the most virulent anti-ministerial organs.. It appears to be agreed on all heads that the five resignations or dismissals, mentioned already in our correspondence, will speedily take place. It is not, however, so clear as to bow the vacancies thus produced will be filled. On Friday the chamber re fused one of the credits demanded by the Minister of Marine. M. do Macken bad previously declared that if that particular credit were not granted, he would miser The news of his retirement was accordingly expected on Saturday. M. Moline de St. Yon declared, on Friday, in the salle des coofirho es, that the treatment he bad received in the chamber was such, that he would throw up the war department. M. Leans Laplagne having stipulated for a comfortable berth in a nch sinecure is ready to go. General Schramm is spoken of u likely to succeed to the war depart ment, and among the most curious of the on slits was one which, oddly enough, has received general credit, that M. de Mackau is to be succeeded in the depart ment of the marine and colonies by M. Le Comte de Bremen, rendered so notorious by his share in the Spanish marriages. It is still said that M. Duahatel will pass to the finances, to be succeeded by M.Damea in the home department. The judicial investigation before the Chamber cif Peers, mentioned in our former correspondence, commenced, and shares with the ministerial crisis the public attention. The question raised in this prose cation refers to the incorporation of a company for , working certain mines of coal and salt in the depart-. ment of the Upper Saone, called the company of Goubenans. This affair occUrrerl in 1842, when Gen. Cubieree was Minister of War, and M. Teste, of Public Works. The farmer was the holder of a large number of shares in the projected company, and his personal interest was naturally resorted to by the directors of the company, to obtain the ne cessary concession from his lleague M. Taste, then Minister of Publio Wikka. After mach delay and higgling, it was arranged that fifty shares in the proposed company, each of the value of 1,0001, should be given to M. Teste as an inducement, ' which the concession was granted. By . the code of France, both parties in this transaction, if it be proved, are guilty of a serious violation of the law. The articles of the code under which the accusation is to be made, declare that the agent offering such a bribe, as well as the functionary who receives it, is liable to fine and imprisonment. From the rank and character of the parties inculpated, this affair has naturally created the greatest sensation in Paris. A stormy debate in the chamber, followed as usual by acrimonious discussions in the press, has been produced by the expedition announced to be undertaken by Marshal Bugeaud in Algeria. It will be recollected that an applicatios was lately made it the chamber for a credit in the war department, to support an expedition into that part of the French colony in Africa called Kabylia, the population of which has never been brought into submission. This application was refused, and soon afterwards the government official journal announced that happily circumstances had rendered it unneces sary, a treaty having been concluded with the Ka byres, in virtue of which they were to be free from the intrusion of the French forces on the condition of tribute. Great, however, was the astonishment caused on the arrival of the Akhbar, by its appearing from an African journal, on Friday, that. Marshal Bugeaud was about to head an expedition, consisting of eleven battalions of infantry and two of artillery into Kabylia, notwithstanding the reported treaty, and in spite of the adverse vote of the chamber. The ministry being interrogated by the opposition, acknowledged the truth of the report, but declined to express any opinion as to the expe diency of the expedition. The ministerial organ, however, tries to get them out of the serape by de claring, first, that the expedition is no expedition at all, but only a paeyie promenade of M. Bugeaud, at tended by a few thousand soldiers ; and, smondly, that the territory through which this promenade is to be made is a part of Kabylia, not included in the re ported treaty. La Patrie says that another awkward revelation is about to be made in the chamber relative to the ad ministrative investigation which took place respect ing the deficiency left by M. Benin" in the War De partment. This discussion (says La Patrie), aided by the documents collected during the invativtion, will supply information as edifying as that which be about to be unveiled to the ottuntry by the prose-i cation of General Cubiares. Our correspondent states, in a postscript, that the changes in the cabinet above alluded to as I probable have in some part taken place. It ap-; pears that, on Friday evening, Marshal Sault. President of the Council, and M. Guizot, Minister of Foreign Affairs, waited on the king and informed him that they could not continue at the head of the cabinet miler a change in its members were effected, and proposed that M. Lacave-lAplegne, Minister of Finance, M. Moline St. Yon, Minister of War, and M. de Mackau, Minister of Manse, shaliiebe removed, to which proposition his Majesty acceded. The three ministers just mentioned were accord ingly apprised on Saturday morning by Marshal Soult, as President of the Council, with the decision that had been taken by the King. They accordingly had an audience of his Majesty at the Tuileries, when MM. Moline St. Too, and de Mackau delivered their resignation into the hands of his Majesty. M. Lacave-Laplagne informed the King, that not knowing is what respect be had merited removal, be did not wish to tender his resig nation, but would await his dismissal. Queen Christina will take her departure on Mon day for Naples, where she goes to see her mother, the Queen Dowager of Naples. It is said that the stay of her Majesty in that capital will not be of long dura tion, and that she will return direct to Paris. The French court is to go into mourning for a fort night, owing to the death of the . Archduke Charles of Austria. Adrices from Madrid have been received to the 3rd May inclusive. The court was to have departed on the Sth. for Aranjaes, there to remain until the end of May. The Carew was to have been adjourned during that interval. It was expected that the budget would be brought before the Chamber on the 4th, after which the house would be prorogued till the end of the month. The report upon the project of law respecting the sale of corporate property (proprios) was expected. The majority of the committee is opposed to the project. The news from Catalonia was unfavourable • various manufacturing establishments had been clo sed, and disorders were feared in consequence of the number of workmen thrown out of employment. Although appearances are consulted to a certain extent by the king cocsort, no one doubts the con tinuance of the same unsatisfactory state of the domestic relations of the royal pair. In reference to Nis subject, PI Tiempo of the 3rd has the following : A project exists for concentrating round an augustperson age a centrum of power, which can only be inenwd to the THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 10, 1847. & m om s if ti.peeitim rights of the grown, legitimately repts=inii=mott of Imbella II I.

ROME, Aran, 28. Concerning the anniversary festival of the founda tion of Rome, held in the baths of Titus, amid a 0311- course of 20,000 spectators , 800 sitting down to the banquet, you will have, ere this, heard much ; but the speech of the evening, that of Marquis Aselis, which eloquently denounced the presence and prido of " Goths, Huns, and other Vandals "in Italy, elicited thunders of applause, and has been printed by autho risation of the new board of censorship, in a supple ment to the Coteniporane.4 The only other allusion sins to England, which the speaker designated our elder sister in "manufactures, commerce, and free dom."A For obvious reasons no reference was made to France ; • the recent instructions and conduct of Count Rossi having taken the gold off his gingerbread completely. The liberality of the new censors is the topic of general praise ; and, indeed, it is . eonsidered that the palpable . truths uttered is the presence of so many applauding auditors, and kntilled by the oommop sense of the whole peninsula, would amount to a suppressio yeri, equivalent to a eaggeatio falsi. Altogether, this awakening exhibition will not fail to tel throughout Italy; and if the founder of the baths, " the beloved of mankind," were permitted to hover in spirit over the scene, he' veld not repeat that " he had lost a day !" . I am sorry to record the sequel of what took place oa the publication of the speeches hailed with such enthusiasm. Four hours elapsed from the moment of their issuing from the press: they were greedily dowel in every coffee-house, club, and private Niftily in Rome i blessings were invoked on the orators, and on the whole proceeding: when, lo! the agents of the police, " blushing as they entered," made their appearance in every hole and corner of Rome where the Cotemporaeeo was supposed to be taltai, and begged and menaced until they got back *the " supplement of speeches." Not in all cases were they successful ; but at the post-office they succeeded bat too well • and such was the rigour of the search that I have been unable to transmit a smuggled copy of plat was spoken. This I have ascertained on in- Jqiito-day among officials in my confideace. This is simply another quasi concession to Lutzow, the Austrian minister, whose "demand for his pass ports" recorded by me produced some weeks ago the Otte apt at suppressing the Roman journals—an at pOt which, as I then chronicled, was defeated by Ho4em attitude of the press. To " ask for his par ports" appears to be the only diplomacy of which he ii imitable, and in this instance he has only rendered leja•i s m a 'tion at Rome really, what he recently de it in a letter to Metternich, as "pas tenahk," ' 's sake, since evidently go he eventually must, .

Mock inceudiarism might have &p -rimed a capital joke to Glen, but the Austrian minister did not see the point. People were seen screaming at the windows, mock flames were visible, ladders were uplifted, fire-engines worked assiduously, and • mob of 8,000 people had gathered to witness the uproar. Unluckily the carriage of Lutzow was descried by the populace, when howling and yelling began in earnest; the blinds of the vehicle were in stantly let down, but they knew their man, and, amid shouts of execration, accompanied him to the seat of embassy. He thought himself lucky to have got clear home. CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 30. A ref de& of discontent has been excited, not only sieimpt meow; engaged in trade, but also amongst the taesabese el the diplomatic body, by a recent act of the Turkish government. M. Anion, who for many years had acted r beaker to the Porte, has resigns I his functions, and bossemended by the M. Bahian who obtained such noto riety valise tbe administration of Rica Pasha.

At the end of that disastrous war it was iseda, that the tribute which she exacted from the be peal, oat in piastres, but in ducats.

During the two years in which M. Baltaui continued associated with M. - Anion, as banker to the Port c, loud and constant complaints were made against him by the whole trading community of the country, in consequence •of the way in which he employed the funds placed at his cam nand. It was a creature of Mows Safeti Pasha, in whose household he had originally filled some menial em ployment, and it was with the concurrence of that corrupt minister that he carried on those transactions which excited so much indignation, and which called so frequently for the intervention of the representatives of some of the foreign powers. Through the samatence of the minister of finance, with whom ho shared his pins, he nereeded in monopolising all the trade of the country. He had all the contracts for the supply of the army, the fleet, Sc. He furnished the worst materials and received the highest prices. The mockery was always gone through of receiving proposals from other merchants, but it was afterwards found that these proposals were never even opened. When M. Baltaszi wished to pur chase any of the productions of the country, an order from the government prevented the holders of the articles from sallies to any other than M. Brelrami, lam ezetseepasey tamed them at what sate he titt piper. Thais are the prceemlings whisk Ugly cue the awarthruar of Mengel Sakti Pasha, sad the plualpitate mama of M.

The contract wu then draws up and signed by Tayker Bey, the director-general of the mint, and it wes announced in the official Gazette that M. Allem had again been chosen as banker to the government. Three days after M. Allion's contract had been signed by Tayher Bey, he waa tent for by Sari= Paella, the minister of finance, who announced to him that an a ffer had been made to the go vernment by M. Baltazsi to accept the contract for 16,0001., but that the preference wuuld be glean to M. Ithb:ron, is consideration of his long and faithful urrvices. Filled with surprise and indignation, M. Anion at once refused to accept the contract on any terms, and instead of employing the mean, which the law affords him of obtaining redrew, he haseven refused the interference of the Preach ambassador on his behalf. It is a question whether the engagement which the Porte best entered into with Baltani wilt not be productive of a good deal of embarraaament to the one, and perhaps of ruin to the other. The present moment is certainly a fortunate one for the banker. Large sums of specie are weekly imported from Europe for the payment of grain. Almost all this money is acne to the mint, where it is melted down and eon . verted into good Turkish coin. In consequence of this influx I of capital, tee rate of exchange, during the lot six months, has not exceeded 105 piastres for the pound sterling, and it has been sometimes as low as 100. But it IA not at all certain that the next year may be so prosperous. A crisis may arrive like the late one, when, during five months, M. Allion bad to send weekly specie to Europe to the amount of from 40.0001. to 10,0001. M. Alleon principally owed the triumphant manner in which he surmounted all the ts rrible difficulties of that year to the support which he received from the great banking-houses of Europe. It is not to be supposed that, under similar circumstances, a man of Mr. Baltaze s character would meet with the same sympathy. ' The state of relations between Greece and the Forte is every day becoming more serious. Without a re priseentive, without a consul, the position of King Otho's subjects who reside in Turkey is anything but enviable. The administration of their commercial affairs is in the hands of Muchtar Bey, the director-general of the custom-house—a Tarkish Tnbois, who will do nothing without a eon-si.de-ra ti-on ; whilst those of the unfortunate Greeks who may be committed to prison for any bretteh of the police laws are not released till afar the payment of a heavy ransom.

The following is the wording of this protest, which is signed by one hundred and seventy members, and the observations accornyway ing it: The United Diet resolved Os plena, on the 16th of April, to pre sent an address to his majesty, and expressed therein its sentiments of attachment and esteem, whilst many members regretted the want of a perfect conformity between the patent of February 3rd and anterior laws. if, at that awe, it was not toought fit to enumerate, in the address of thanks for the convocation of the diet, the points on which that want of conformity bore, it becomes now the imperative duty of the diet to come to an understanding respecting them, and to set them forth in clear terms, in order to avoid all confusion for the future. It is with that intention that the undersigned have the honour to present your excellency with the subjoined explanation, in eider that you may be pissed to refer it to a special committee far their mature mmaldwetien and for their adoption, and also in order stint it may be appended to the minutes of the debate of the diet. [Here follow the signatures.] I. It is enacted in the second par, of the third wet of the pastel law of June 6, 1823, relative to the estahliehment of provincial states, that " Caafornsably to that previa:la, so long as the assemblies shall not be convoked to a general diet, we shall submit to the deliberations of the provincial states all the projects of law having is view any modifica tion of the rights of iniividuals or of property, whenever those modifications have relation to the respective pro vinces." That law has an ineontestible anises:Oen with the fourth section of the ordonnanee of May 22, 1813 which de dares that ro The sphere of action of the pvinci cl al states ex ten Is to the d iroux , ion upon all legislative subject., so far so the projects of law relate to the person and to property, as well as to taxes." In opposition to that enactment, the twelfth sect. of the Patent of Feb. 3, 1847, relating to the formation of the diet, declares that "We reserve to ourselves (with reference to all pr jests of law having in view any modifica tion of personal rights, of the rights of property, or of taxes, so far as those laws regard the entire monarchy, or several provinces at the same time), the right to deniaud the advice of the states, es required by the law of Jane 5, 1823, advice which the stales are authorised to give in the exercise of their rights. Nevertheless, should we think fit to claim the advice of thestatesreopecting changes which,as affecting tkeoonsrie•-• ' of a provinje, cannot be discussed by the elites of that pro vince, e shall seek the advice of the general diet alone, to which the right of discussieg those changes is reserved." Moreover, the 3rd sect. of the Patent of Feb. 3 contains the following provision respecting the convocation and the attri butes of the committees of the general states: " With regard to the assistance required from the states (by virtue of the general law of June 3, 1823, relating to the formatioa of the provincial states) in the discussion of laws affecting alterations in the rights of property or in personal rights, or which have in view the effecting of other modifications in taxes than those pointed out in the 9th paragraph of the ordonnsnee of thin day for the formaticn of the diet, we shall in general, when those laws affect the entire monarchy or several provinces, a:4c the advice of the committee of the united states; and we bestow on it the full and entire right to give such advice. The provision of the 3rd an. (No. 2) of the above quoted law is carried out by the present enact ment. But in the same way that we reserve to our selves the right of claiming the advice of the general diet in such cues as we may deem necessary. we reserve to ourselves the right of submitting emptionally to the advice of the provincial diets these laws which concern the entire monarchy or several provinces, if such a course should, for particular reasons, appear to us advantageous, and more particularly if a result should thereby be more quickly arrived at." We entertain the profound conviction that the above terms of the patent of Feb. 3 are incompatible with the provisions mentioned in anterior laws, inasmuch u, according to those laws, no project of law affecting personal rights, or those of property, or relating to taxation, shall be lad before the provincial states, except when no general diet is assembled; and inasmuch, atomiser, so by those laws the sphere of action of the general diet extends to the discussion of all objects relating to personal r:ghts or those of property, including tines, whereas, according to the patent of Feb. 3, that right of giving advice does not, elder all cir cumstances, belong to the united diet, but may be exercised equally by the committee of the general assembly, or by the provincial diets. 2. The 10:h section of the ordonoance of February 3, 1847, relative to the formation of the general diet, is to the following effect " In case of war, we reserve to ourselves the right to levy extraordinary taxes, without the previous consent of the general diet, whenever, under existing circumstances, it does not appear advisable to assemble it. But in ouch a case we shall lay before that body, so soon as circumstances allow, and, at the latest, on the termination of the war, the neces sary information respecting the employment of the extraor dinary imposts." We are convinced that that paragraph is also incompatible with the above gusted provisions of pre ceding laws; for, according to those provisions, the discussion of all the projects of law affecting personal or civic rights, including the levying of taxis, is amongst the attributes of the represeotatives of the country, or of the general assembly of the states; wtibt, according to the ordonnanee of Fcb. 3, extraordinary taxes may be levied in ease of war, without the consent of the general diet, whenev, r the government, with reference to the political aspect of affairs, shall not think it proper to convoke it; and, consequently, the discussion of all the laws of taxation by the represen tatives of the country will not take place, con trary to the prescriptions of the ordonnanee of May 72, 1816. The royal ordonnanee of Jan. 17, 1820, relative to the future management of the nat.onal debt, contains the fol lowing passage: "We have been informed of the entire condition of the national debt, and we have resolved to lay that information before the country. By such publicity, and by oar intention to submit the debt for the future to the super vision of the imperial assembly of the states, we entertain the hope that we shall stre ngth en the sentiments of confi dence in the government, an manifest more clearly °insincere desire to satisfy all the creditors of the state, inasmuch as we hereby make in an irrevocable manner the necessary &meg*. ments for the guaranteeing of all the debts of the state, as well so for the regular payment of the interest and for the formation of a sinking fund." The remonstrant. next quote the 4;h and 7th sections of the patent of Feb. 3, and declare that tae latter are ncompatible with the foregoing puagraph, for the following reasons : First, because, by the ordonosuce of Jan. 17, 1820 (an ordonnance declared to be an irrevocable one), no public bonds concerning a debt contracted at the charge of the state can be issued without the co-opera:ion and under the co-guarantee of the future general assembly of the states of the kingdom, whereas the 4th section of the royal patent of Feb. 3 restricts the neces sity of that co-operation and that colitis:antes to such sew loans, for which the fortune and entire property of the state are given so securities. Second. Because, according to the 6th section of the ordonnance of Feb. 3, relative to the formation of the g ene r a l di et , t h e co - operat i on of the states is replaced (in c as es f orerun b y t h at paragraph, and tor such loans as may be contracted in the cases alluded to) by the cooperation of the committee of the states which is spa cially charged with the debt.—After pointing out many other discrepancies between the patent and preeediog laws, the remonstrant, conclude by stating that they eatertain the loam" aarrietiaa that the anterior laws referred to are tital to *ear, with respect to the particular poling pointed out Th. precast has been received by the marshal.

Incendiary proclamations had previously been circulated; and the government fearing some demonstration, had taken pre cautionary measures. The troope of the garrison, and a part of the National Guard had received instructions to be ready, and troops and artillery had also been ordered from Ludt. igsburg. On the evening of the 4th, the house of • baker, in the Hauptstsetten.strasse, was stocked by th e mob, consisting of workmen of every description. At S o'clock the National Guard was called out, and the goveruc g of the town, Count de Leppe, accompanied by Prince Frederick of Wintemberg at the head of the cavalry, Ina sense detachments of infantry, made their appearance, hut their exhortations to the mob only inereas-d the tumult. The troops endeavoured as quietly as possible to clear tba street, but they were assailed by a shower of stones; • barricade wiu thrown up and a shot fired. S ams of the officers and men were wounded by the stoma, The cavalry then charged, and the ir.faatry Monied the bar ricade ; the mob was dispersed, but speedily re-assembled is other quarters. Stones were thrown on the military y am the roofs of the houses. The King, accompanied by the Prince Royal and his staff, proceeded to the scene of the dis turbances. At the Mesenbach-bridge a detachment of in. fantry fired upon the mob, which was approaching ay person of the King. One man was killed and severat wounded. It would seem that the jnbeate had a somewhat political character, for cries were uttered insulting to the I King, and wishes were loudly expressed that he should yield the throne to hie son. AUSTRIA. THE LITE ARCHDUKE CHARLES.-- The Archduke, with • decided call to the military WNW, became a soldier at an early age ; in 1793 he had a command in the army of the Prince of Coburg. He was then only two and twenty. In 1795 he was appointed to the co mmand of the Austrian army on the Rhine, when, as chief, be had the glory of beating Jourdan, and of compelling Moreau to that famous retreat which is perhaps the brightest page of his military career. He was called to Italy to repair the disasters of the Austrian generals, and there he displayed talents such rto acquire him the esteem of Napoleon. Os the rupture of the peace of Campo Formic., the Archduke Charles again found himself at the head of the Aultriaa forces on the Rhine. Ile took a share in the operations of the Russian armies, which were destroyed by Morin in Swit zerland. The Russians laid ell the Ram, of their defeats lathe door of the archduke, and the (*hire of St. Petersburg, powerfully seconded by • party in Austria jealous of the renown and popularity of the archduke, obtained hie recall But after the battle of Hotteolindrin the court of Visor was but too glad to recall him from hi, disgrace. At he peace of Lune ills the archduke was made !Caner of War, and in this capacity he brought the Austrian anag to a state of parturient it bad never preeimady obtained. In 1805 the Austrians spin took the field against France, and the archduke was sent to Italy, hat was recalled after the battle of Austerlitz. After the peer of Preabarg, he was charged with the organization of another Austrian army, though he did all that was in his power to prevent the Austrians frees again entering the lists against Farm, and Austria had to enter the disastrous defeat of Wagers. It was he wheeramended the army is that memorable cam paign, and this was the last act alas military career, He withdrew her active service in 1809, and had since led s retired life. He wee the author of different stnitritic works of high interest. By his wife, a pejo-col of Nassau, he lessee her lens, three of whom hold different grades in the Asstrian service, and the fourth, Archduke Frederick, is Vies Admiral and chief in command of the Austrian nary. He also leaves two daughters : the eldest is the present Queen of the Two grille*. - - ----• MADEIRA.—The Etna, ]hutch war-steamer . which arrived in Holland on the 3rd inst., has brought Intel: licence hose Madeira.

When the Tay, which arrived on Saturday at South ampton, left Tampico, on the 31st of March, it was occupied by an American force of 2,000 men, ander Col. Gates. She arrived at Vera Cruz on the let Aeril and found the town and Castle of San Juan d'Ullos in possession of the Americana. Nearly a third of Vera Cruz (the south part) is partially destroyed. More than 4,000 shells are @opposed to have been thrown. The loss of life was less than might have been expected. About 130 inhabitants were killed ; principally old men, women, and children. When the Tay left, many were still lying buried ander the ruins of their houses. About the same number of wounded were in the hospital. The Mexican troops who marched out and were allowed to disperse, in terms of the capitulation, amounted to about 4,000 men. Our previous intelligence, ria the United States, brought down the narrative of events to the hoisting of the American flag over the town and castle, on the 29th of March. We have now received a copy of an order of the day, dated the 29th, intimating that Major-General Worth had entered upon the duties of commanding officer and governor of the town and castle. It had been announced the day before, in a general order, that he was to become the temporary governor, as soon as the city was garrisoned by his brigade. His functions were described ea being: Without disturbing the ordinary func tions of the civil magistracy, as between Mexi cans Red Mexicans, to establish strict poliee regula tions ; to establish, subject to the approval of the general-in-chief and the commodore, a temporary and moderate tariff (to be continued until the instructions of the government at Washington shall be made known) on all articles imported by sea from countries other than the United States. The proceeds of the tariff are to be applied to the benefit of the wounded of the squadron and army, and of the indigent inha bitants of Vera Cruz. The tariff was proclaimed on the 31st of March. Al,' articles known as soldiere 'mecum-ice and supplies for officers, introduced by regularly appointed settlers, are duty free ; all articles imported by that clan, however, must be entered at the Custom-house, and arrangement made with the collector for payment of duties on the whole cargo, subject to restitution of duty on articles sold to officers and soldiers. Cargoes from the United States, in national vessels, pay—On provisions, 5 per cent. ad ralorem : on wines, cider, ale, and porter, 15 per cent, ad raloron : on all other liquors, 73 per cent. ad ralorem : on raw cotton, 4 cents. per lb. ; on all other articles of merchandise,l o I cent. ad valorem. Foreign vessels, under detention before the occupation, are admitted, subject to these re gulations ; all arriving subseqaently, are to be charged with such duties as they would be required to pay in all port of the United States (or exhibit evidence of entry and payment of duties in the United States), object to the additional duty before-meutioned. Foreign in deposit in the United States, arriving at ret s Crux in American bottoms, will be admitted as per tariff of United States. The collector of the pet had received instructions to draw up port regniatienai and submit them to the governor for approbation. The Tay found the same tariff in force at Tampico ; " As the sole civil authority of the city," the acting adjutant-general promulgated orders to the following effect from the governor on the 30th of March: That the Alcalde should cause the citizens to deliver up their arms into hie custody. ; that he should caus•sill pedperiae to be closed, and none to be reopened with out a license, and none of these after ti p.in. ; that be should require every citizen to apply for a letter of domicile showing his occupation ; that the Mexican laws should continue to be administered by the re gular tribunals as between Mexicans; that im military commission shall adjudicate in cases between American citizens of the army or its authorised followers ; that all Mexicans might enter or leave the city freely between n'reille and retreat; that soldiers on pass should only enter the city by the gates of Mexico and Mercy, and between the hours of tea a.m. and six p.m. and all soldiers not on duty to retire from it at the latter hour. Ths same and four other orders of the day promulgated on the 31st of March and lit of April intimate the ap pointment of Mr. F. M. Dimond, collector of the port; Mr. Felix Peters, inspector of revenue ; and Mr. Jonas N. Levy, harbour-master. They contain, also, a tariff of prices for bread, meat, and milk, and notices of the appointment of one notary public, and several licensed keepers offondas and coPs. Oa the 3rd of April appeared . the first number of • newspaper, entitled The American Eagl , .
