A letter addressed by the Emperor to the Presi dent of the Council of State bag been published to day, in which his Majesty says : "Our systemof centralisation, despite its advan tage*, is attended by the serious inconvenience of leading to an excess of administrative action. "It is impossible to understand why an unim portant commercial affair should require investiga tions lasting at least two years, owing to the inter vention of eleven different authorities." The Emperor further expresses himself convinced of the urgency of this reform, necessitating the re vision of numerous laws, decrees, ordinances, and ministerial instructions. His Majesty entrusts this labour to the different sections of the Council of State,; " for if," continues the letter, " a Council of State does not administer, it observes the acts of the administration." The Emperor concludes by saying : " As I attach great importance to this reform I rely upon the enlightened zeal of the Council of State to arrive very soon at a satisfactory solu tion." THE POLISH INSURRECTION. ORAOOW, JUNI27. Tho Russians have fallen back upon Suwalki. The insurrection in Podlechia continues un dimic The ewe of to-day says : The denial given by the Russian government to the statement that General Mouravieff had issued an order of great severity against women wearing mourning is false. The fact is that General Mouravieff has condemned women who wear mourning to a fine of 26 to 100 roubles ; but if they cannot pay they are flogged with rods. This order has provoked disturbances among the population of Wilna, in the suppression of which the troops have killed 40persons. A murderous encounter occurred in Podolia on the 23rd ; and on the same day an engagement took place at Oran'', in Lithuania, terminating is favour of the Russians. RUSSIA AND THE DIPLOMATIC NOTES. ST. PETERSBURG. JUNI 2T. The notes of England, France, and Austria, on the Polish question, were remitted to Prince Gorte eliskoff to-day. PARIS, Jun 93. The Mhnorial Diplcnnatique of to-day says :" We are able to announce that the acceptance by Russia of the preliminary bases of the notes of England, France, and Austria, appears certain, although the cabinet of St. Petersburg intends to demand in an explanatory note some modifications of the pro gramme of the three Powers. Russia will, it is stated, also ask that the seat of the European Con ference on the Polish question should be St. Peters burg. In designating her own capital as the place of meeting for the plenipoten tiaries, Russia clearly indicates that she enters com pletely into the views of the three cabinets respect ing the urgent necessity of arresting the effusion of blood before the opening of the Conferences. The Russian government has taken the wise course of yielding to the friendly remonstrances of the three Powers who signed the notes of the 10th April last, being well aware that they are already preparing to form a close triple alliance for the realization of the unalterable aim of their common efforts, in the event of diplomatic means being exhausted without assu ring the pacification of Poland." The Memorial Diplomatique further states that the three Powers have agreed to recommend Brum , sels as the seat of the Conference, and expresses a 6 belief that Russia will accept this arrangement. GREECE. News received here from Zante to the 22nd inst. states that a portion of the English Mediterranean fleet left that island for Malta on the 18th. The Greek steamer Plinaura arrived at Zante on the 21st instant with troops from the coast of the Morse, whither they had been despatched to chastise rebels in the province of Elia, but had found no cause to interfere. The Town Council of Zante has voted an address of thanks to the new Ring of Greece. THE WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS.

(non ova own COBRISPONDUIL) WHIN, JUNII 23. Thereseeme to be a mania for duelling juat now, just as there is sometimes a mania fur suicide. I mentioned in ray last that it was probable the President of the Council, Signor Minghetti, would accept the provocation offered to him by Signor 'Lattanzi, and the event proved me to be right. Signor Rattaszi has now been beaten both in and out of parliament. The sabre wound he received was alight, but it was sufficient to give his adver sary the ,victory. Another duel was spoken of be tween the Minister of Foreign Affairs and ore of the leaders of the Left; and it is almost certain that 1 the editor of the Opinion will measure paces with Signor Corte, or Signor IC cetera. It seems that the party of action ; want An redoes the constitutional print to silence by intimidation. Meanwhile the rumour runs that 1 another duel between two ex-Garibaldians has had a ' fatal termination. It is said that both combatants I are dead, and this is not unlikely, as they were each Ito fire six times at ten paces. One of them, named Deus, is a colonel in the regular army ; the other bad been expelled from the risineent. A eassiadttee lof officers had decided that Colonel Dena ought not to accept the duel, but being provoked by the offensive tone of the challenger be could not resist. The encounter took place in Switzerland. Does it not seem as though there were something in all this closely akin to madness 1 The national rifle contest for the prize of 100,000 francs and smaller sums still continues, the atten dance being very great. Prince Humbert presided at the opening day, and accepted an invitation to be present at the Swiss Federal contest. Every thing went off well, and excellent taste was dis played in all the details. The fireworks were good, and could not have been displayed upon a better spot—near the river, with verdant mountains behind, and a vast piazza and a wide and splendid street in front. It a that since the questions of Bertani, Ri • p • and Manch', and the unexpected and violent attack of Signor Rattazzi, the old majority has been reconstituted, and that the government can rely upon an amount of support in the Cham ber which will enable them to act, with more certainty than before. The ministers have thus been benefited by the very violence of their own adversaries. If this state of things continues, the country will advance in the path of organization, and the measures it needs will be permed. It is thought that Parliament will sit for three weeks more, or perhaps a little longer, and then be pro rogued to the commencement of October. THS DISPUTE WITH BRAZIL OFFICIAL DESPATCHIMI. The following is the text of the decision of his Majesty the Bing of the Belgians u arbitrator in the case of the officers of her Dfajesty's ship Forte and the Brazilian agents : " We, Leopold, King of the Belgians, having accepted the functions of arbiter, which have been conferred upon us by common consent by Great Britain and by Brazil, in the differences which have arisen between these states, in the matter of the •crest, on the 17th June, 1862, by the guard of Brazilian police stationed at Tijuos, of three officers of the British navy, and of the eirenmstaisces which resulted after and at the time of that arrest ; animated by • sincere desire to respond by a scrupulous sod impartial decision to the confidence which the said states have shown towards us ; having to this end duly examined and maturely weighed all the papers that have been produced by one side and by the other ; wishing, in order to fulfil the task which we have accepted, to bring to the knowledge of the high parties interested the result of our examination, as well as our decision in the capacity of arbiter upon the question which has been submitted to ua f• the following terms, namely—whether, in the mode in which the laws of Brazil have been applied towards the English officers there has been offence to the British navy ; considering that it is in no way shown that the origin of the conflict was the act of the Brazilian agent., who could not reasonably have bad motives for provocation ; con sidering that the officers, at the time of their arrest, did not wear the uniform of their rank, and that in • port frequented by so many foreigners they could not expect to be believed on their mere word when they declared that they belonged to the British navy, while there was no outward sign of their rank to support their declaration ; that consequently, once arrested, they ought to have submitted to the existing laws and regulations, and had no right to require any treatment different to that which would have been applied, in similar circumstances, to all other persons ; considering that, although it is impossible to deny that the incidents which ensued were most unpleasant to the Eng lish officers, and that the treatment to which they were exposed must have appeared to them most harsh, it is nevertheless proved that when, by the declaration of the English vice-consul, the social position of these officers had been duly established, measures were at once taken to secure them special consideration, and that their uncooditional liberation was then ordered ; considering that the functionary who camel them to be released ordered their release as soon ss he possibly could, and that in acting thus he was prompted by the desire to spars these officers the disagree able consequences which, in conformity with the laws, must necessarily have been entailed upon them from any further steps taken in the matter; considering that, in his report of the 6th of July, 1862, the prefect of police had not ouly to make a statement of facts, but was also obliged to render to his superior authority an account of his conduct, and of the rumps that induced him to treat them with coaddera• Con ; considering thathe was, from that time, properly. sod without any malicious intention being fairly attributable to him, authorised to express himself as he did, we are of opinion that., io the mode in which the laws of Brazil have been applied towards the English officers, there wu neither premeditation of offence, nor offence, to the British navy.

Lord Howard de Walden in transmitting the above writes to Earl Russell :—" I expressed to the King oo behalf of her Majesty's government their sense of his Majesty's gra cious and friendly act in having accepted the part of arbi trator in this painful and troublesome affair. The King restricts his judgment to the character or spirit of the pro ceeding of the Brazilian agents, whether, in • national point of view in regard to the British navy, it was to be deemed offensive or not, and on this his Majesty decides in the negative." The following memorandum regarding the assessment of compensation in the case of the Priooe of Wales has been preunted to the House of Lords :—" On the 18th of February Earl Russell directed the Queen's Advocate to be informed that the government of Brazil had instructed their representative in England to notify to her Majesty's govern ment that he wee authorised to pay, under protest, what ever sum her Majesty's government might demand. in the shape of compensation in the can of the vessel Prince of Wales; and his lordship requested the opinion of the Queen's Advocate as to the amount at which that can• ponied= should be assessed. The Queen's Advocate was at the same time informed that the responsibility of mewing compensation bad not been sought by her 3f nicety's government, ho had iodeed propmed, through Mr. Chretie, that the question of atoount should be referred to arbitra tion. The course pursued by Brazil had, however, left her Majesty. government no option in the nutter. The Queen's Advocate's report is to the following effect : —The Queen's Advocate states that be is of opinion that no sum should be c2aimed io excess of tics sum mentioned in Mr. Christie's communiostioos to the Brazilian government ; that oo de maod should be made oo account of freight, or on account of the loss of the vessel itself ; that the &mood should be founded on the plunder of the cargo, of the effects of the crew, and also upon the too probable murder of some or all of them. He estimates, roughly, the loss of wages and effuse at 2901., and the compensation for possible murders at 8401., to be paid to the families of those who were wrecked. As to the cargo, be makes allowances for pro bable and necessary damage, and for salvage had the Mho bitaots of the coast appeared as salvors is place of plun derers ; and he then roughly estimates this item at 2,3601. Upon these data a sum of 3,%101. was fixed by Earl Russell instead of 3,4901., the sum total of the items estimated by the Queen's Advocate. This sum was demseded by a note of the 24th of February addressed by Earl Rumen so M. Moran, and it was paid by M. Mantra on the 26th of February. • "Foreign-office,. June 21." DESPATCH OF EARL RUSSELL. The following despatch has been addreesed Earl Rummell to her Majesty's ambamadors at the count of Austria, Francis, Prom* sod Rorie : " man BUMSLL TO LORD BLOOIITTILD.. " Foreigmofilee, June 10, 1863. "My Loed,—The time is at band when her Majssty's declaration of her 'sadirons to consent to the union of the 'mien Islands with Greece, it the lonian Islands should themselves desire that union, must be followed by practical men see ; and her Majesty's government are anxious, be fore taking farther steps, to free the subject from ambiguity. As, therefore, some unfounded notions are entertained with respect to those islands, it say be useful that I should call your excellency's attention to the truth regarding their position, their rights, and their future condition. "The louden Islands are not, as some pastes appear to mimeos, a part of the possessions of the British crown. They form the Republic of the Seven Island., placed by treaty node: the protection of the Sovereign of the United Kingdom, his heirs and encnessors. The manner in whisk these Woods cane under the protection of the Britt& crown is well known to all those who are acquainted with the European tonsectioos of 1815. Pr:whims nesting be theca were Dot included among the article, of the general treaty concluded at Vienna in the mouth of June( that year, but on the 4th of Jose of that year the plenipotentiaries of the four powers, Austria, Great Britain, Prussia, and Russia, being metal:dad, m corded in a pectorisl what had passed at their mafereess of that day. The plenipotentiary of Austria declared that the question of the possession of the loathe Islands Ming connected with the tranquillity of Italy, and of the former Venetian provinces, the court of Austria would charge itself with the protection of these Wands, and would guaran tee to them the maintenance of their laws and privileges. But the plenipotentiaries of Russia said, that desiring nothing else than to assure to the inhabitants of those islands the happiest lot., and that most appropriate to their situation, they thought it their duty to promote the wish of the inhabitants of those islands, that they should re main under the protection of Great Britain. The plonk potentiaries of Russia also remarked that Count de Caps district, who had been charged specially with this matter, being absent, they could not then make any definitive arrangement, and they proposed an adjournment, and this proposal was finally adopted. It is well known that Couat de Capodistrias, who at that time enjoyed pest favour with the Emperor Alexander, was zealous hi behalf of the na tionality and freedom of his countrymen. Knowing that the lonian Islands could not stand atom as an inter pendent state, he wished to place them under the protection of Great Britain, whose institutions, framed on principles of liberty, be desired to see established among a people of Greek habits and language. Them desires of Count de Capodistrias were, by the influence of the court of Ramie, and with the consent of Great Britain, accomplished by the treaty of Paris of Nov. 5, 1815, between Gnat Britain, Austria, Russia, and Petunia. "The preamble of this treaty recites that the powers concerned, ' animated by the desire of prosecuting the oego Cations adjourned at the Congress of Vienna, in order to fix the destiny of the Seven Imam Islands, and to ensure the independence, liberty, and happiness of those islands, by placing them and their constitution under the immediate protection of me of the great powers of Europe, have agreed to settle definitively by a special act whatever relates to this object, lac.' The first article of tide treaty declares that 'the Wands of Corfu, Cephalonia, Zaute, Santa Mama, Ithaca, Congo, and Pam, with their dependencies, such as they were described in the treaty between his Majesty the Psuperor of all the Russia and the Ottoman Porte, of the 21st of March. 1800, shall form a single, free, and lode -1 pendent state, under the denomination of the United States of the lonian Islands.' The toroth article declares that 'the Lord High Commissioner of the protecting power shall regulate the forms of convocation of a Isghlative se suably, of which he shall direct the proceedings, in order to draw up a new constitutional charter for the stet/ which his Majesty the King of the Llotted Kingdom o Great Britain and Ireland shall be requested to ratify.' The fifth article is as follows In order to ensure without restric t ties to the inhabitants of the United States of the loaian Islands the advantages resulting from the high protection under which these states are placed, as well as for the exercise of the rights inherent in the said protection, his 1 Britannic Majesty shall have the right to occupy the fortresses and places of those states, and to maintain garrisons in the same.' A like provision places under the order of the Commander in-Chief of the troops of hie Britannic Majesty the military force of the said United States. " It appears clear from these provisions that the inten tion of the high allied powers was to found in the Seven Islands a free. independent state, which, by the protection of so powerful a country as Great Britain, might develop its resources without fear of external aggression or internal anarchy. It appears, also, from the fifth article that the ' main object of the stipulation placing the fortresses in the hoods of Great Britain was to insure 'to the inhabitants of the United States of the lonian blends the advantages resulting from the high protection under which the stator are placed.' The constitution established in execution of the articles of the treaty contained is its fourth article • provision that ' the established language of the states is , Greek,' thus showing conclusively that the intention of Count de Capodietrias to create a Greek nationality was sti,l kept in view by Groat Britain, as the state en trusted with the protectorate. The British government having received this trust, have endeavoured faithfully to discharge the duties im posed upon them by the Abed powers. In spite of many obstacles, they have ameliorated in all respects the cordi Moo of the inhabitants. With regard, however, to tl• exercise of the constitutional functions of the Lord High Commismiooer and the legislative body, complete harmony has seldom prevailed between them. But the great change which took place in the condition of some of the neighbour. isg Turkish provinces, when the Greek people of those pro winces smarted their independence, altered materially the political condition of the inhabitants of the Seven Islands. From that time the sympathies of the locum people began to turn towards Greece, end when the Greek kingdom became a recognised state of Europe, the wish to be politically united with men of their own race took root among the people of the lonian Islands. This wish has been often laid hold of as a pretext for factious opposition ; it has been expressed since 1850 at times when Great Bri tain could not listen to it without yielding to projects of ambition very foreign from the freedom of Greece. But is is origin and tendency there is something in this lonian wish of union with Greece which must obtain the respect of the British nation. A love of independence in loam with a kindred race has in itself claims to regard from a nation which prides itself on its love of freedom. It is thus that. with a view to strengthen the Greek monarchy, to fulfil the original objects of the foundation of the lonian Islands as a state, and to comply with the wishes frequently, though irregularly, expressed in the lonian Islands themselves, her Majesty's government have dechied their readiness to con sent to the union of the laden Islands with Greece. " Her Majesty's government are not insensible of the value of Corfu as a maritime and military station, nor are they unaware of the apprehensions felt in Austria and Tur key at the prospect of the abandonment of the lonian Islands by Great Britain. It has been suggested in Esss. land that Corfu might be retained while the other Wanda might be given up. But her Majesty's government con mire that it would be a perversion of the trust confided to them by Europe, and a breach of faith towards the Loden people, if Greet Bntaio were to tern a portion of a single free and independent state under her protectorate into a part of her military remissions, and ter make Corfu an element of her European power. Her Majesty s government pro pose, therefore, now that a King of Greece has been recog nised by the protectiog powers, to consult in the meet formal and authentic manner the wishes of the inhabit ants of the lonian Islands as to their future destiny. If those wishes, deliberately expressed, should be in favour of a union with Greece, her Majesty's government would pro pose that,' with a view to considering the future condi tion of the lonian Islands, • eonfereme should be assembled, to consist of the representatives of the powers who signed the treaty of November, 1815, and of the protecting powers who, in 1827 and 1832, signed the treaties by which the kingdom of Greece was constituted.-1 am, lee..
