RUSBELL.-Bir, the hon. gentian= who ha just eat down has referred to two points the first, as to the fora maintained in Canada ; the second, a to that kept up in this couatry. With regard to the Canadian force, I admit that it may be now nearly twits as great as that maintained in that colony previous to the awakes out of the rebellion; but when that rebellion broke oat the smallness of the force there was a matter of mach alarm and anxiety to the go. remotest. It is true that that force acted with great intre pidity, and the rebels, not being well organised, did not nuke each a resistance as might have been espeeted, and by tke skill of the commander and the bravery of the troops Miler bim tbeiaturreetion was happily put down; but I on set Risk that we were not in mate degree to blame for bolas se moll • force there at the time ; sad I should be may, thallium, well-disposed se the provisos now is, to me any very arrest diminution of the force now maintained there. With regard to the colonies generally, no denbt in some of them reductions in the military force may be made from time to time, and in some the force is now less than it was in 1835. But the meat paint on which the hon. gentleman has touched stands more in need de:plans Lion. He has objected to the system of keeping up troops for the purpose of keeping down the people, and says that ti It is now for the first me avowed by my right hon. friend (Mr. F. Hauls) that that is the object of maintaining a brat in this eminery. I heard what my right hon. friend said, but certainly I heard nothing fan from him which could fairly bear such an interpretation. (Cheers from the Tna wry bench.) My right hon. Mend stated, and stated meet truly, that during the past year there were many please— the greater past of them being manufacturing and sem enamel towns—from which demands were made, not by the military authorities, but by the civil and inanicipd as thorities, for troops to preserve crier. Bat were tholes troops employed to keep down the people? (Hear, bear ) By no means. (Cheers.) They were employed to keep down a certain number of ill-dispceed, ill-affected persons— (cheers)—who wished to create dkorder—who wished to promote tumult—in order that they might obtaia Lea ties fir plunder. (Hear, hear.) And it would be a libel and a calumny to confound them with the people. (Cheers.) The hon. gentleman mike why should not tke municipal au thorities in the large towns appoint special constables to keep the peace Why, sir, they are at full liberty—not only are they at full liberty, but they are invited—to swear in'opecial constables if there exist any apprehension of tumult. (Mar, hear.) Bat it is after they have sworn them in that themenerally make appliestion for the military, In order to aid the specia l constables. la feet, the state of society has changed from the time when every man was ready to arm to go out into the streets be the purpose of keeping the pesos of the town. The great mass of the people in our towns are accustomed to peaceful occupations, indus trious habits and trades. Yon, therefore, look to other forms to image the poem of those towns to be pre served ; and if you refused them all military assistanes, and that they were to be harvemed night after night and week after week in doing the duty of special constable', you would have great discontent manifested spinet the civil government foe not having OM them sestatanee •' and in feet, therefore, when you allall out the troops in thieconntry, it is not to keep down the people, but It is to defend the majority against the miscall. It is to defend the great star of the well affected and peaceable people, but certa rely a people not well accustomed to arm themselves for military duties—it is to defend them molest a small number of the turbulent, very ohm . ponsons hardly connected with the town, very Ohm a number of young boys, bat who, if there were not seem widens, given to preserve order, would be not only very mischievous. bu t t would commit merlons injury.

On this rote being pit., Mr. HUME expressed a hops that some of the officers on halt pay might be brought into full-pay. Mr. F.

BIBTHORP said he had supported the hon. member for Montrose in his motion far a general statement of the revenue of the country before the estimates were voted. He was also prepared to support him now. When, however, he saw the hon. gentleman surrounded by so few of Lis friends, be could not help thinking that his opposition to the govern ment was not sincere. Mr. HUME said that they were now only voting money oa account. He would hays an opportunity en a &bun on. codas of opposing these estimates, and then he would try the austerity of the hon. and gallant member's promise of rapport. The vote was then agreed o, as were also the following votes on account: 22,0001. for foreign half-pay. 64,0001. for widows' pensions. 48,0001. for companionate list. 17,0001.f0r Chelsea and Kilmainham hospitals in-pen al ners. On the vote of 600,0001. far the ont-pensloners of Chelsea Hospital, Mr. HUME inquired what wu the number of out penaioners now enrolled. The number did not appear in the estimates, but he saw it variously stated at 15,000, 14,000, and 17,000. Mr. F. MAUL'S was understood to say that the number wu 20,000. Mr. HUME.—How many In Inland ? • Mr. F. MAULS —6,000. flir H.

He thought that if employment was offlred to pensioners in the public 0813411 as carriers, msessegers, Ace., andlin other lines where manual labour alone was regmired, it would be a greater indueem•at to men of good character to enter In the army and navy than the amount of pensions which they might receive. There were 3,000 men employed in these capacities, at leas than 3s. a day, and the fact of employing persona having pensions would operate as an inducement to greater honesty than had been found in the porters of the Custom-hews, where frauds to a large extent had been connived at. Mr. F. M AULB mid that a great number of pensioners were already employed, not only in the public envies, but by private gentlemen, in consequence of the °Milli:atm of good conduit which they received on leaving the unsay. It altogether depended on those who had the patronage of the various public °Mese, whether they would employ the pensioners to a greater extent. The vote wee then agreed to. 19 0091., on account of superanuation allowances, was then votea. NAVY ESTIMATES.

The Eogliah and French fleets reached Palermo on the Bth, and on the following day transmitted to the Prince of BuTzlia the missive of his Majesty the King of NAPLES. The answer was not publicly announced on the Bth, bat the universal opinion was that the constitution was utterly unacceptable, and that the only alternative was war. The admirals declared that they would stay to the last moment of there being hope of en enoonunodation. The S:cilians look to nose. In order that the English public may be fully aware of the nature and cause of the war about to arise, we will state what are the objections of the Sicilia= to the royal of In the first place the Kieg abolishes their hereditary peerage. The old, historic families, the heads of each of which have formed the Sicilian upper house from the time of the Normans, the King sets aside by the stroke of his pen, manifesting by this, and by his resolve to have no upper chamber save composed of members of his own nomination, his purpose to root out the noblesse. We mentioned on a former occasion that the only two countries in Europe that had the materials of an hereditary peerage, mid which had kept that hereditary peerage by means at an ancient mestitution, were Mastery and Sicily. The despotic seeds of both countries have resolved to 'belie time hereditary peerages. For our own pet, we mast be much chagrined to see despotism Ibis doing the work of democracy. Yet we somewhat sympathise with the liberal aristocracy of Sicily, making common cause with citizen and passe, and demanding nothing more than their most ancient, well *Anted, and impreecriptible rights. If Sicily resembled England in the parliamentary privileges of its nobles, it had another striking point , of resemblance in its municipal freedom and indite tions. These secured to the lower and middle claws their self government and independence, and a certain degree of political education. The King of NAPLES will not allow of municipal freedom, no more than of aristocratic rights. He insists on introducing the French levelling and centralising system over all, administering provinces and villages by prefact and police. The Sicilians, moreover, had a habeas corpus law, and trial by jury. These and all other liberties disappear under the new constitution. The electoral qualification required is absurdly high, and profes sional votes, at present admitted, are excluded by the charter. Such a mere gif: of the king, too, every one feels, might be revoked by the same authority which gives it, whilst the ancient constitution is, and ever has been, a durable compact between prince and people. Tne grand objection of tie- Sicilians is, however, to the article fixing the amount of the budget. By this one article, the King in reality assumes the en tire and uncontrolled power of the legislature and the government. As the Sicilians are hereby bound, whether they choose or not, to provide the requisite quota for the military, naval, and diplomatic expendi ture, it follows of course that the taxes may be raised, independently of the authority of the Sicilian parliament. Of what use then can be their national assembly? How cal it enforce its will, how exer cise financial supervision, how retain even the shadow of authority, or usefulness ? Nor need the Sicilians look far for an exemplification of what they are to expect. In Naples, at this moment, the chambers re fuse to vete the taxes, being the constitutional way of =ng their utter want of confidence in the . The King, however, 'rains both in re taining his ministry, and in levying the taxes, and this under a constitution also of the King's own for mation, and with as assembly elected after the laws and conditions which his Majesty , himself laid down. In the face of su.h facts, we ask, how are the Sici lians to blame, if they are forced to refuse the insi dious proffers of so faithless a tyrant? The Sicilians at present make no exorbitant de mar ds. They merely ask their ancient constitution, with such modifications as the necessities of modern times demand. They ask that constitution which the King empowered Lord MINS° to present to the Sicilians, in March, 1848, before the events of February in Paris were known, and con sequently berme the revolutionary convulsion.had agitated Europe. The King at that time, with his usual habits of treachery and men dacity, whilst he sent Lord Miter° with this fair conentutioo, despatched at the same time through other channels other decrees, utter at variance with inch constitution, and intende d to nullify it. One, for example, prescribed an oath of im plicit obedience: to the King's will,:tand to whatever laws he might personally ordain and issue. Such manifest duplicity and bad faith caused not only the failure of (Lord Muno's mission, which, had the King net acted underhand, would at the time have succeeded, but drew down from the Sicilians the well merited, though extreme, decree, deposing the House of BOURBON. This, however, did not proceed from the disaffection or extravagance of the Sicilians, bat from the manifest and provoking treachery of the King, a treacher practised, indeed, on purpose to provoke, and to make a fool of, the Earl of MINTo. Never was ant of deposition by a people more justly merited by a faithless Sovereign ; and the inmirals of the French and English fiesta acknowledged the justice of the sentence, by saluting the Sicilian flag with all solemnity, in the waters of Palermo. We are by no means now pretending that it be hoves England or France to interfere. They have interfaced too much already. But in the way of me diation, after the fair conditions which the admirals and envoys of France and England did stipulate, they noun not have condescended to be the barns of a charter so insulting, so disgusting to the Sicilians, and so subversive of their rights, as that constitution which the organ of his Neapolitan Majesty in this country has published. Better have egged away at once, and allowed the Swipe and lascaronibutchers of FERDINAND to resume their task of destruction and blood than come with these false and insidious proffers, and make the refusal of them an excuse foe the withdrawal of a countenance and an arbitration that ought not to have been given without the power and the honest intention of carrying it through. IT would be difficult to cut a meaner firm, or to have submitted with more solemnity to ab 7 ick, admi nistered by a military boot from behind, than the FAA India Company or their executive did on Satur day. The Merchant of Vella% when he came to borrow motley of efilsyloci, and spat upon his gaberdine, did not behave more rudely than Sir CHARLES NAPIIR in receiving and acknowledging his appoint ment. In return for his health being drank, the gallant general " That he went to India at the com mand of her MAmsrt, at the recommendation of the Duke of Wauxacrrott, and with the approbation of his eountrymen. As to the Bast India Company or its directors, they would no doubt give him co-opera tion and support, But on this point," quoth Sir Camas bluntly, " the lout mid the soonest mended! We think so too. The East India Company has an immense emphe to govern, protest, and improve. The improveter a rt of the basins. it has deferred tothe Chuck Thu* pouneed de country in which it basked audience iwastft,it cannot make a railroad, or even sneesrage toe to procure foe the country the supply to Issisad *Me peat material of its staple manufacture. This would be some return to India for its impoverished, dimmed, and disaffected state. But no—the East India Company is a huge war-offios. It never has been, and never will be, any thing else. And yet it is a war-office that cannot rear a general, at least cannot reward or choose one. Even when military talents are manifest, the East India Company c3mmits itself, and its empire, to the rule of c hi nos. Some old martinet, the senior in command and in sedulity, is entrusted with the lives of some 20,000 English soldiery, and the fortune of millions of natives. A short time since, ' they conquered an empire, more by hazard than 'kill, and with a Hisao° of life at which military science blushes and humanity shrinks. Yet no sooner is it conquered than it is neglected. One would think that the only capacity of the Com pany and its servants was for over-running and over riding a country. For no sooner was a semblance of tranquillity restored to the Punjaub, than every officer and civilian of experience, of knowledge of the coun try and the service, scuds out of the c3untry to enjoy honour, and gains, and prize-money in a better climate. Sir C. Rena is packed off from sok& Lord Han ninon packs himself off to the House of Lords. The Levranneze give way to the CURRIES, the HARDINOES and NAPIRRS to the Gonna; and blunder after blunder reveals the iggnomrannaccee and incapacity of every Indian functionary. Moonnsz is tormented into died fection, and thin provoked into rebellion. The Indian authorities stand aghast, and do nothing, leaving a lieutenant of irregulars to defeat the farces of Mord tan. A regular general and army then march up, merely, however, to be beaten back from the mud walls of Moultan, and fill its ditches with their dead, _ . concluding with a disgraceful retreat. The I , filth; emboldened at the news, rise, and, at length, Lord I Goma marches after them in • passion, allows them to choose their own position and field of battle, and flings away the lives of his best soldiers in an attack, of which the strategy was only to be equalled by the Irish hurrah upon the police defenders of the cabin of Ballingarey. The East India directors and ministry are repreache I with having entrusted such a command to a general of notorious incapacity. The answer is, "We knew his incapacity, but we did not expect war." But is it not proverbial that whenever the directors :expect war, and send a general to India, peace is sure to ensue ? Whilst if they nominate • civilian Clovernor-General, with a long prospect of peace, war is certain to break out. Indian events always go by contraries—that is, contrary to the wisdom and expectations of the directors. Should they not, there fore, direct their policy and appointments by contra ries too, seeing it to bs the established prcoedent that they are always mistaken, and age after age in the wrong ? We are promised, however, a debate in parliament upon this war in the Pun nub, not with those closed doors which form the delight and the habit of the' gentlemen of Leadenhall-street. And it is to be hoped that the public, from whom they delight to conceal their doings, and to whom they never disclose their policy or their motives, will at length show itself . curious and inquisitive on these points. HAMBIIRG, Mixes 15. Yesterday a rumour spread on Change that the armistice was to be prolonged for three months. The declaration of the Prussian Minister for Foreign Affairs, as appears in the Berlin papers, gave rise to it. The Danish papery, however, which we received to day, do not leave any doubt as to hostilities beginning again on the 27th inst., unless their government alter its mind at the eleventh hoar. The minister having stated that Nome temporary measure is to be brought on by the mediation of the British govern ment, you will be informed of it if &manful, before we shall. _ _ Two Danish men-of-war made their appearance off several of the Baltic pertain the duchies to reconnoitre the coasts for the purpose of examining what pro gross the fortifications have made during the armistice. At Rendsbarg all is activity : troops are coming from the south and going to the northern frontiers or to the sea-coast. A gun-boat, built by subscriptions of the ladies, and called " Der Franenverein," was sent to Kiel ; and to all appearance the Dana will not find the coast in a defetceleas stat-. With that part of the German navy . which is stationed here no visible preparations are making; the steamers and the frigate are not manned, but officered, and the gun-boat is, I believe, in the same state. Two Prussian gene rals paned into the duchies yesterday. PORTUGAL. The Oriental Company's steam packet, Jupiter, Capt. F, auks Meehan, arrived at Southampton yester day, and landed her mails under the charge of Lieut. Peter Rainier, R.N., Admiralty agent. Her dates are : Gibraltar, March 9; Cadiz, March 10; Lisboa, March 13 ; Oporto, Marsh 14 ; Vigo, March 16. The Jupiter bring" 16 packages of specie. The following is the letter of our correspondent : LISBON, MARCH 12. Most of my former lettere will have prepared you for some kind of revolution ; in truth, one is now go ing on, and rather an important one. One party of the Caiistu, and many of the Progreseistas acknow ledge there is something " rotten in the state of Den mark." Th'y acknowledge the constitution has not answered its end, inasmuch as instead of organising the country, it is in a complete state of disorganisa tion • and, therefore , as almost every method has been tried which the new men could think of, unsuccess fully, they say that many things ought to be brought back to their former state. Thus they avow the pre-eminence of the laws and establishments they destroyed. The Minister of War has formally de ' elated that they must set asideall other oonsideratioas and return to the date that existed before, when the line was always recruited from a well-constituted militia, to which every male capable of bearing arms was liable to be selected, such male belonging to a description of force called " ordinanges," which, al though not embodied, did various duties, both civil and military. In the course of the last week another report of revolt and outbreak occurred. The government were on the psi rive, sent 200 men to St. Übes, and or dered the Ist &adores to proceed to this place. It arose as follows :—The administrator at St Übes put into his pocket the rent allowed for his offices, keep ing them in apartments of the barracks; the colonel of the let Caoadores wanted the apartment', but the administrator refused to surrender them, whereupon the gallant colonel, Joaquim Bento, expelled the ad ministrator and his effects vi et arms,. The latter officer being a brother of the aide-de-camp of the civil governor of Lisbon, gave such an account of it, that his brother, the aide-de-camp represented it as a revolt of the regiment ; the whole garrison was ander arms, patroles made, guards doubled, and artillery placed at the different points. I am deeply concerned to say no rain his yet fallen. We have a strong, dry north-easter, lots of dust blow ing, a scorching sun at mid-day, and the appearance of the country that of an arid desert. There has been a public procession to avert God's anger from this unhappy nation, and although on all former occasions it was the cust om of the sovereign to attend it as • penitent, yet Donna Maris, in violation of the people's religious prejudices, and, setting all de corum at defiance ' went magni fi cently dressed to see it, as if it had been a raree-show ! Neither the theatres nor any public place of amusement were that, Donna Maria herself setting the example by giving her with. All the old nobility, that is, such as could go, walked in the train, and the Queen, finding how much her conduct had beea deprecated, gave notice to the brotherhood of N. Soaker doe Pascoe that she would cci the next day there to prayers ; but to show how her conduct Id: estimated, all the old nobility were &beret. This speaks volumes. Donna Maria governs, not reigns, by virtue of the protocol, and the occasional presence here of a British fiat. Many of the deputies evincing their coolness to wards the government have been called to a meeting, at which they were alternately threatened to be db missed (those who were in employment) and cajoled ; Saldatha saying he would resign, but some at the meeting desiring he should still continue in his post, he "consented to sacrifice his comfort and his ease hr his country's good." Bat every one knows that if he were to resign he would be in danger of starvation, as It is well known he is u destitute of funds as he is of spasm and principle. The budget has not yet been presented--nor has any measure been proposed by the government for the amelioration or the condition of the country or the people. The miserably (tepee* state of the northern pro vinces (the wine district) is alarming, and cannot long continue without a change. The Vasco da Game, the only line of battle eMp the country possesses, has sailed to the Brazils, Ao touch at Madeira. The Chambers are to have a secret meeting; it le said the object is the affairs with Rome. BRAZILS. DEFEAT OF THE REBELS. The Seraphina arrived at Liverpool on Sunday from Paraiba, after an extraordinary passage of 22 dais. By her we have received dates from Pernambuco to the 20th, Bahia 2nd, and Rio Janeiro 8 h Fob. Active and successful measures had been adopted in regard to the rebels. On the 10th they were in position at Pus made, eight leagues north of Pernambuco; bit on the approach of the imperial forces they retreatedto Goianna, where they made a stand. A battle toOk plea on the 18th, the rebels numbering 1,500, and the royalists about 1,300. The rebels were beaten. They lost some hundreds, including Roma, their leader, which disheartened them consider ably. They retreated to Brijo d'Aria, where it was expected the decisive struggle would take place. Of the even tual success of the government hardly a doubt was entertained, u the army had been rein foroed by 300 men from Bahl% and 1,800 more were daily expected from Rio Janeiro. This prestige bad caused many persons in Pernambuco to give them selves up, and commerce was reviving. Sugar was coming into the city in plenty, but cotton was scarce. At Bahia exchange ruled at 251. The 241 to 25. Freights 355. to 40s. Letters bad been received at the latter plum from Buenos Avres, which mention the impoitint fact that Roses had declared war against Paraguay, and Wu following up the threat by levying an army. It was rumoured at Paraiba, on the 22d Feb. that the rebels were then at • place called Onus, where they intended to await the coming up of the royalists, and that Roma was not killed, but that his nephew had been taken prisoner. WRECK OF THE ACADIA. The loss of this magnificent steam-ship, 1,600 tons burden, recently one of the North American Ocean Steam Navigation Company's best mail steamers between Liver pool and Halifax, was announced on Saturday afternoon, in the merchant's room at Lloyd's, and was mentioned amongst the casualties in our shipping news yesterday. From her previous character, having accomplished some of the quickest passages between the two countries on record, her wrack bas given rise to considerable interest in the City. The Acadia, with another of the steamers composing the fleet of the North American Steam Navigation Company, the Britannia, also 1.600 tons measurement, were purchased about two months since by the Central German Con federation, to be convened, if our information be correct, into war steamers, and for that tn purp ose had under roe at Liverpool, in the Co Docks, vast tmprovensente as regards strengthening, order to carry heavy guns, le. The Acadia steamed from the Mersey on the morning of Friday week, fully equipped for the service in question, manned by a crew of 60 seamen and officers. under the command of Capt. Jackson, the Britannia follow ing last Sunday. The destination of both shimmers Was Bremen, and from the time of the vessels leaving the Mersey no tidings were heard of their progress until yesterday, when the mail from Amsterdam, dated Wednesday last, announced the sad misfortune—the subject of this notice. The details of the ship ' s Ices are exceedingly meagre, al though from the source they were received , no doubt can be entertained as to the correctness of the fact. It appears thaton the night of Sunday last the Acadia was steering along the oust of Holland, the weather being buy, and tho wind some what boisterous from the north. Towards midnight, from some unexplained came, the ship struck with great forte on • dangerous shoal, known es the outer bank of Tern:hailing. All efforts to get her off proved unavailing ; owing to her continual thumping the remainder of the night, she quickly filled, and settled over on her broadside. All hands, to ' gather with the representatives of the German confederation, ' who were on board, were saved, but from the position of the skip, it was apprehended that she would become a complete less. A portion of the crew reached Amsterdam by a Dutch vessel on the 14th; and the remainder, who had taken refuge on board another vessel, were expected there in a few days. The ship and her machinery, with steam-engine of 600-horse power, are estimated at nearly 100,0001. Zbe Court. The Queen and Prince Albert, aeennpanied by the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, the Prinoesiltiliee, the Princess Helene, sad the Princess Louisa, left Osborne, Isle of Wight, at seven minutes put two o'elock yesterday afternoon, attended by Lady Portman, Hon.
