LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2. of the Black Bea ia, ao far as we can learn, satisfactorily provided for by the Treaty of Paris. We are assured that Nicolaieff—regarding which it was feared some quibble might be raised on the part of Russia—ia to share the fate of that Poser's other military arsenals on the Eaxine. It has also been stipulated that Russia is to maintain . . no military establishments on the Circessian coast. I It would appear, then, that whatever can be effected by a treaty to ensure the neutral character of the sea has been done. It rests with the Governments of Europe—and more especially with our own Govern ment—to take care that the treaty becomes a reality by the eetabl'ehment of competent Consuls in the Black Sea ports. This measure would give security to merchants, acd prevent at all times the possibility , of clandestine military =Meting'. There is reason to believe that the equitation of the Danubian Principalities is not touched upon In the Treaty of Paris. On this head a separate con vention will be negotiated between Turkey and the Great Powers. This is a matter of infinite delicacy ; but the dictates of equity seem petty clear, and the policy of England is to conform to these dictates. The chject of the war was to place on a secure foun dation the independence and integrity of the Turkish Empire; to repel armed aggression in the present, acd to preclude (if possible) the more insidious attacks of political intrigue in the future. To attain these ends, with reference to the Principalities, it is requi site that their relations to the Porte should remain unaltered is essentials, and that the least possible encouragement should be afforded to the ca bals and intrigues of foreigners. Whether the Pro vinces are to remain, as at present, under separate administrations, or to be united, is a matter or indif ference to all except the natives themselves and their Lord Paramount, the SULTAN. That question may safely be left to their joint decision. Bat the question whether the cfhce of Hospedar is to be hereditary, or for life, is one upon which the Great Powers may be called in a mediatorial capacity to pronounce an opi nion. The very equivocal success which' has attended the establishment of a hereditary vice-royalty in Egypt, is a painful warning to abstain from the experiment of making the office of Hospodar hereditary in Wal lachia and Moldavia. In addition to this there is a prima facie case against the recognition of a heredi tary tenure of office in the Danubian Principalities which did not exist in Egypt. The family of Ma ne-Ku ALI was marked out for the Vice-regal office by its established influence and power. Neither in Wallachia nor Moldavia is there any family to be found among the Boyards sufficiently superior to the rest to be able to maintaia a hereditary tenure of office. Again, to create a hereditary Christian Hoe podar, of the native race, would be virtually to declare the provinces independent of Turkey; to place a hereditary Musuilmau Prince over them would lead to incessant jealousies and collisions. We speak with a view equally to the interests of the Wellsehian people, and of England's ally the SULTAN. To separate the Danubian Principalities from the Turkish Empire would be to persist in that mistaken and insidious partitioning policy which, by first proclaiming the in dependence of Greece, and then attempting to erect Egypt and Syria into an independent kingdom, aimed at frittering away the Ottoman Empire by insensible degrees. To confer upon the Wallachisne at this moment • seminal independence would be to hold them out as a prize to be contended for by the great states in their vicinity. The local seltgouniment, the natural development of resources, are better assured to the Wellachiens under the tees of a Turkish sucerainle than they would be under a nominal independence in the vicinity of Austria sad Russia. All that can be done for these Provinces at present is to obtain for them from the Poets guaran tees foe the permanence of their constitutional im munise. It is the duty of the Preach and English Governante to Waist that each guarantees shall be given, allowing the Porte as Serena to choose the manner in which they shall be seaveyed. There is one preliminary step to the settlement of the Danubian Principalities, which cannot be evaded or postponed—their evacuation by the Austrian army. For our own parts we are free to confess that we waver were able to see any advantage that was pad by the Aostrian occupation of these Pro vinces. The disadvantages were saffideetly obvious. To ay nothing of the well-warranted sae* dons that the Austrians played • double game, paralyeing the efforts of the Turkish generals, and covering the retreat of the Russians, their unwarrant able exactions, and the brutal ended tithe soldiery, have been each u ought not to have been indicted on any analfending people. The least that cube done fee the Wallschians is to liberate them from the Austrian visitation. Nor ought it to be forgotten ' that Austria aimed at the conquest of Wallachia sad' Moldavia before Russia was in a 'oddities to make each an acquisition, and that she has ere sow availed herself of wars between Rada and the Porte to ob tain temporary possession of these Previous. do lug ws one Austrian soldier is allowed to remain in the Principalities, Europe has no security @gala some in data attempt to subject them to the fate of the Lombard and Venetia' territories. Ws adverted in a recent slumber to the mane which it is nadentood Government 'atm& to per... with regard to the Militia es the sitars of pane. A statement respecting the future destinies of the Gor man Legion published is the Noma, Herold et yesterday appears to contain a modicum of truth. somewhat distorted by misapprehessioe, sad Whim as to drew attention to the position and promo* d our foreign contingent.. The amount given is dm Nursing Herald is in effect that th. German Legion is to be sent to the Cape of Good Hope, ea sees • pesos is concluded, to " garrison the missy! Now we may safely take span us to say that no liberal Ministry could dream of outraging the feelings of the Cape colonists by offering to impose a foreign garrison upon them. The thing, indeed, is impossible, foe the sot of parliament which em. powered the Government to raise Foreign Legions for their being disbanded within els ter the termination of the war. We ham believe that the real state of affairs le seamy on foot at present three Porgies Italian. the Swim, and the Germs. be duly disbanded in conformity with parliament. With regard to the 'taloa soldiers there Is no difficulty; they will, after they hare been paid off, return to their homes. With regard to the Germane it is prv~ moirafte ' r er t 1 reason to belie as (allows : We have Legione—the All three will the act of par and Swiss sol of course, arc respective Inn different : it would be unsafe fora great many of these men to attempt to return to their former homes. It is, therefore, we understand, in entemplation to offer to as many of them as choose to accept, grants of laud in the British possessions in South Africa, on a tenure similar to that by which the Pensioners hold their lands in New Zealand. They will be free colonists, liable to be called out during a short period in each sear for drill, and to be permanently em bodied in the event of a war. The benefit our colts• nits in South Africa might derive from an influx of etch settlers is obvious. They would easily assimi late with the mixed population of English and Dutch who already occupy these regions; and their military habits would render them most eligible far holding lands on the frontiers of the native tribes. Nothing can, of course, be decided, until it shall be ascer tained that a sufficient number of the Legionaries shall agree to proceed as colonists to South Africa; but in the event of their doing so, their location will probably be in the immediate neighbourhood of the Kaffi rs. There will remain, after these arrangements have been completed, two other bodies of foreign troops in British pay to be disposed of the Turkish Contin gent and our Bashi-bazooka. It seems to be pretty well understood that the former will be transferred, in their existing organisation, to the service of the SULTAN. An offer may also be made to the Porte of thus Bashi-bszonks who have bees embodied under British officers. In the event of the offer being declined, they will be paid off and supplied with means to return to their own homes. For the sake of Turkey it is to be hoped that the Porte may exert itself to retain u many of the European officers of the Contingent as can be pre vailed upon to take service under it. This element, combint d with the young and intelligent Turks who have been trained in the Government military and medical schools, would be a most efficient agency in the hands of the Ottoman Ministers for the regenera tion of their army—perhaps, in time, of the civil administration also. For the same reason the Porte will do well to maintain, in a state of efficiency, that gallant corps, " The Cossacks of the SULTAN," and to conciliate their attachment by kind and equitable treatment. It is impotrible to foresee what may be hidden in futurity; bat it is obvious that emergencies may arise in which thus soldiers may be able to render services to Turkey of which any others would be incapable. Their mere existence will be a warn ing to ambitious neighbours not to provoke hostilities. Vbe Court. Her Majesty sill bold a Privy Council on Friday mat, at Backieglaa Palace.

By special decrees the rank of Grand Crass of the Legion of Honour is conferred on Count Walewaki, as an acknowledgment of the eminent services tendered by him as Minister of Foreign Affairs ; and the Baron de Bourqueney is raised to the dignity of a Senator, for services rendered in the recent diplomatic negotiation,. The official journal also announces the Emperor's decision, that the soldiers of the clue of 1848 who have been retained until this time under the military banner shall be restored to their homes. Orders for the immediate execution of the Em peror's will have already left the Ministry of War. The ceremonial announcement of the conclusion of peace was made to the Senate and Corp. Legielatif on Monday, in the words previously employed to proclaim the event in the Illoniteur. The Minister of State added: "The Emperor has charged me that, in bringing the fact to your knowledge, I should thank you for the patriotic support which you have alwa3s afforded him, and which, with the admirable devotedness of the allied fleets and armies, has so powerfully contributed to the happy issue of the war."

A review in Paris, whether the occasion be the proclamation of peace or war, the anniversary of an existing government, or the advent of a new one, is always a popular show. The one of to-day was more successful than any of the many that it has been my lot to witness. Whether as regards the fineness of the weather, the nsmb:r and appearance of the troops, the accom modation for the spectators, or the brilliancy of the reviewing cortege, no spectacle of the kind, since Louis Napoleon's accession to power, has ever I in any single particular surpassed, and none has ever equalled as a whole, that of to-day. Never before did Napoleon lIL ride at the head of such a follow ing. The observed of all observers was the Russian plenipotentiary, Count Orloff, in full uniform, with a helmet and long black plume, mounted on one of the Emperor's favourite war horses. Count Orloff rode very near to the Emperor throughout the day. But there were in the cortege a number of foreign uniforms, such us was never probably before seen in the world at any single review. All the Powers of Europe, down to the most petty German principality, were represented. The only plenipotentiaries that I observed, besides Count Orloff, were the Turks (Aa li Pacha and Djemil Bey), the Marquis de lirellamarins, who wore the uniform of a colonel of Sardinian light cavalry, and Lord Cowley, who wore a civil uni form, and was followed by two military officers. The other plenipotentiaries went, I believe, in carriages to the places assigned to them at the &ohs IliStair*. The Princess Mathilde and a vast number of ladies were present. To give some idea of the demand for places, I sissy mention that a Minister wrote to a friend of mine—" I will do what I can for you, but I have only twelve tickets, and I have promised a hundred." The Champs, de Mars appeared quits fall of troops; but, u is always the case, the numbers on the ground were greatly exaggerated. Instead of 160,000 men, I will venture to say confidently that there were not 60,000. That, however, is a very large numb3r, and I am snored by an officer of rank that it would be impossible to place any such larger number upon the ground, unless they were so closely packed sa to render the usual review movement' impossible. General Play's division, almost every man of whom wore Gana Victoria's Crimean medal, was very much abased by the populate. It was a happy arcane same that the March dust, which has kept up its skeeter this year to the fall extent, did not, as it too oftea doss, trench epos the let of April With the sane eau bins sky which we have ,had for many days, there was an absents of the harsh wind which prevailed rap to yesterday. I never saw the Chimps de Mare seers free from diet. The uniforms shone is the clear sunshine with dealing brillisay. All Paris was abet. Not rely the terraces of the Champs de Man itself, bat all the streets for at least a mile reand it were crowded throeghent the day. _ _ _ _ _ It Is a most remarkable cathoideniis that the Giant Orloff who was looked at to-day with so much cariosity is the identical individual who, oa the 30th of March, 1814, being than Colonel Orloff, aide-do-eamp to the Emperoe Almada, affixed the Bret signature to the capitulation of Paris, and on the 30th of March, 1836, he signed the treaty of paw of the Canvas of Paris. The settlement at the Bourse has been disastrous fee the N Tlux priees elapsed for isaning over accounts ars higher than aver. The Rents today fell 45e. for cash, and 76e. for account, closing at 72fr. 25e. Credit Idobilier fell 90fr. Railways were considerably lower. Orleans fell 20k., and Eastern' l and Southern. 12fr. 60r. each. The eagle pea with which the treaty of peace was sigma was palled from a wing of the imperial eagle in the Isiah: des Plantes. The statement that it wee augmented with moms stoats is contradicted. Immediately after the sigaatare, the pea wee attaehed to a sheet of partsboard, and 'amended by the seals of sash of the Powers represented at the Coagreek and by the signatures of the Plenipotentiaries. M. Fesillet de Ceachee, the chef du bursae of the pro kook, wrote underaeath es follows: I (artily that this pea wee voted by.. from the Impe ✓ial wale of the Jardia dee Plante), sad that It i• the pea which was wad fer the streams* of the Wady of peen if Kara. 1866._ TIM pasteboard wee afterwards framed and glued, to be presented to the Empress.

The discussion of these measures has lot yet com menced ; a vigorous opposition to them is expected in the Chamber of Peers, from the reason that the proposed tax will chiefly affect the members of that body. Bad weather still prevails in Portugal. Exchange on Loudon 51,1. THE UNITED STATES. (raom ova OWN mwr ) NEW YORK, MARCH 18. An enormous debt to Europe is now being con tracted by our importers, especially for dry goods. The Bourg may export its cotton, the west its bread stuffs, and Calitornia may send her gold to Europe; but such enormous importations as we now witness, from week to week, in articles mostly of pore luxury, will overbalance it all. We shall surely experience the legitimate results of this headlong system before the year has expired ; and Europe must participate more or less in the consequences. It u needless to add that all talk about ;difficulty with England has nand. Universal confidence was inspired on the departure of Mr. Dallas, the new American minister. Nobody supposed that Mr. Buchanan was incom petent to the duties of his station, but everybody knew that Mr. Dallas would be likely to prove far more acceptable to her Majerty's government, while it scarcely could be doubted that he would represent America with greater ability and eclat. No news of the Pacific. Captain Hartetein, one of oar Arctic navigator., who some weeks ago ob tained permission from the government to go out in the naval propeller the Arctic in search of the Pacific, made a short cruise over a certain district of the sea, and, touching at Halifax for a larger supply of coal, pushed his way into the region where he thought it most probable the Pacific might be fond. He was amply furnished with all the means he required, and his experience in the Polar regions had specially qualified him for this cruise. His ship was built for such a service. Rigged as a brig, he said before he started that he could probably remain at sea at least two months, and still retain a stock of coal sufficient to bring him to the coast after the search was over. This seems to be the last hope on which we can Listen for the security of the mining Pacific. No business of much importance has yet been done in Congress, or is likely to be, until the present mea sure before the House of Representatives, in regard to the conferring of authority to send for persons and papers, shall have been decided. Upwards of forty speeches have been made on the subject, and the struggle is not yet over. The election of Mr. Banks as Speaker did not give to the Frani' men as established supremacy in the house, for it was only by a majority of two or three that he reached his post. Some men who voted for him will vote against this great measure of his party. But let them vote as they may, the Free State men will concede nothing in this struggle. nor is there any prospect that the North will be willing, no matter who the candidate for the Presidency may be, to give up this struggle, which has become the only question of any importune is our domain stain. The aggremiesis of slavery must cane. This is the feeling of the North, and her acts will conform to R. HELIGOLAND. HBLIOOLAND, MAxcn 28. Orders have been received here to swept no more recruits for the German Legion after the 4th of April next. On the whole, the conduct of the men has given no came of complaint, for, with but very few exceptions, they have behaved themselves in a quiet and orderly manner. But there are other concomi tants of a large military &pee, which the inhabitants of our former quiet island will be very glad to get rid of, as they toad alike to sap the morality and the health of the inlanders. The grand and expensive waterworks for distilling fresh water from the use, emoted by the government, are at length completed, and give general satisfaction. This useful article is now abundantly supplied, and ia far superior in quality to the rain collected in our tanks or the brackish water of our imperfect wells, on which we have hitherto been dependent for our supplies of this grand necessary of life. It is not yet known if the British oomenis' sariat and other authorities will remain longer on the island. The number of recruit, at present in the dep6t oa this island amounts to about two hundred.

INDIA AND CHINA. We have received our advices in anticipation of the Overland Mail. The dates are: Calcutta, Feb. 23; Bombay, Much 6; Houg.liong, Feb. 15; Shanghai, Feb. 7; Canton, Feb. 13. The following is from the summary of the Bombay limes, of March 5: " The arrangements for the administration of the affairs of Oude proceed as tranquilly and peaceably as if the kingdom annexed a fortnight since bad been one of the old provinces of the empire, undergoing a slight transformation in its organisation. The seleo tions of the new officiala are said to be judicious, but in many cases not quite such as were expected. There seems ro reason to apprehend but that everything will go on smoothly and auspiciously, and much to hope that Oude may escap3 the official swaddling clothes and red-tape bandages which so fearfully trammel enterprise, retard improvement, and encum ber all proceedings in the elder portion of our domi nions. The Calcutta Citizen states that the number of soldiers whose arrears have to be paid up amount to 70,000, and the sum due to rs. 48,00,000. The amount found in the various treasuries of the Oude kingdom amounts to re. 28,00,000, which, ac cording to the balances as entered in the Trea surer's books, shows a defalcation of re. 39,00,000. This alludes only to the current Pules year. It is suspected that the King, minister, and eunuchs have made away with the amount and buried it in secret vaults. A very large treasure, said to amount to ' rm. 1.30,00,000, is reported to have been buried be tween the 19th and 27th January, under some plum. trees in the D,ll-Koch palace. General Outram, it is asserted, has taken the bold step of arresting Wajid Alli Shah Padshahi as an accomplice in the sanction of the state frauds. The King's ladies buried almost all their jewels three weeks before the annexation. " We have heard of no disturbances in any part of India for the past fortnight. There is still some incertitude about the capture of Herat, and not the slightest apprehension entertained by any well informed person of the consequence of Persian hosti lity or Russian intrigue. The tales of military ar rangements now in progress, seat home by this day' s mail, are unmitigated tables, and there is no more idea at present of war in the British dominions in the east than in any part of the United Kingdom. "The advantages of the railway, though not yet a year in operation, seem to be beginning to manifest themselves in the commerce of Bengal, Calcutta ex ports having, chiefly on this account, increased con. siderably within the last six months. "Lord Canning reached Calcutta on the 29th Feb., and was immediately sworn in as Governor-Ge neral; the Marquis of Dalhousie was expected to leave to-morrow or next day, proceeding direct to Suez. An address and statue have been voted him at a public meeting in Calcutta, and addresses from Bombay with various addresses from other parts of India. Sir William Gomm, the late Com mander-in-Chief in India, arrived yesterday from Kurrachee, and proceeds by this day's packet to Europe. "From the scantiness of last season's rain, India is threatened throughout with a scarcity, which may, it is feared, in some oases amount to famine. Trade, both import and export, has improved, and the money market is easier than at the date of our last." LORD CANNING AT MADRAS. Lord and Lady Canning arrived in Madre, on the 15th of February, whea gusrde of honour {paraded, fl 1 hoisted,•ilutes were fired, and ladies and gentlemen assembled on the beech t 3 witce , s the landing. The new Governorta l amid his kill departed on the mcreing of the 231 under the tame ceremonies, basin during the nine days they were here visited all the lostitudona of Intl lotereit, held • levee, and produced (says the Madras Ar/soireass) • pleasing impression oa all by their affability and courtesy. To an address presented him at Madras, Lord Canning replied in the fellowirg terms : You smarm pray more earneelly chin I do that the room of peaceful improvement in which of late India has Wye:aced so rapidly, may suffer no iaterruplion or chick, from with nit or from within, diming my tenure of the trust which I am about to assume. I am well roevinced that st. ady progress in that course is the surest means by which to tr mote the happiness of her peaple, cad the hullos, of bar ration. " I thank you for year coolideace is the interest which I cennot fail to feel is the piosperity of this great empire. Undoubtedly if scything c .uld make that interest more keen. I should Sod it in the rsc ;Section of the circum• stances under whir h the name I bear was for a time asso ciated with the government of India. " It is painfal to know that, as regerdo this presidency, the anxiety which must always press upon tl ore who are charged with the administration of India Government is at this time more this una/ly heavy, on account of the droughts with which the country has been visited. Short as my experience of India hes been, this is net the first instance which I have met oh well•founded apprehensions of suffering from the same cause. But it is its rtsin that a mitigation at least of such sufferings is is our own hand ; and that the resources of the country, carefully fostered and wisely expended, may go far to I.ghten them. There to some emulation in this, and much encouragement for the future. _ " 1 beg leave to thank you Is Lady Cenning's came for the 1/11.C31111l which she has received at lOW hand.." AFFAIRS IN OUDE.

LATEST FROM AUSTRALIA. THE LOSS OF THE ROYAL MAIL STEAMER SCHOMBERG. THE DEATH OF SIR CHARLES HOTHA/41. By way of Batavia some copies of the Melbourne Argus have been received to the 7th January. The death of Sir Charles Hotham, K.C.8., Governor of Victoria, took place suddenly at Melbourne on the 31st December. The remains of his Excellency were interred on January 4, marked by the moat public regret, all the shops being closed out of respect for the departed governor. The loss of the Royal Mail ship Schomberg within about thirty miles of Port Phillip Heads, on her outward passage, has caused the utmost excitement in the colony, and the peculiar and aggravating cit. cumatanoes connected with the disaster have been notified by the passengers in an " iodiguation"meet. ing held at Melbourne. Some days after the lose was known Capt. Forbes addressed a letter to the Argus s which that journal deems most unsatisfactory. From the Argus of January 7, it appears that the matter was to be taken up by government. The emigration agent was about to lay informations at the imitation of the passengers. The wreck of the Schomberg had been visited by Voyd's agent; she was not totally broken up, bat there was no opportunity of c )mmunicating with the wreck—it was not expected thst any thing would to saved. The mining and commercial news from Melbourne were, on the whole, satisfactory. Trade was dull, as usual at this season of the year, and very few of the diggers had quitted the mining districts for Melbourne, as customary at Christmas. News from Ballarat states that mining operations were somewhat slack, and the miners were enjoying the festiviti.s of the season. Disturbances between the miners and CXinese were still of fro. quest occurrence, the Europeans being the principal aggressors. Great preparations were made at the diggings for new year's rejoicings, which were inter rupted by news of the death of Sir Charles Hotharn, and the rejoicings were everywhere postponed. At Melbourne gold remained quiet at 31. 18s. per ounce. On January 5, H.M.S. Fantome sailed for England, via Sydney. The price of wool had a downward tendency; 171 d. was realized on one large flock, which, at the beginning of December, would have commanded a penny more. Tallow, good mixed, was sold at auction at 39!. ss. ; very superior mutton tallow at 421. A large parcel of hides wail sold on January 6at 139. 63. Agricultural la bourers were in great demand, as also female ser vants for the diggings. The temporary government of Victoria is in the hands of General Macerthur, commanding the mill. tary. The Red Jacket was to leave Melbourne for Fog land on January 8.
