Arun vainly waiting for many months, we IWO at length a voice from the late Administration on the impending question of Parliamentary Reform. The toes is low bat suEciently clear; the tenor q its utterance cold, niggardly, and doctrinaire; bat its drift, like its authorship, admits of no queetien, and it is at least satisfactory to know what we should have got bad the late Ministers ever brought forward a Bill, and what manner of Bill they aim now ready to oppose. The horn pane through which this light is now shed on the country's poli.kal path is ea article in the latest number of the Eidiallwrpi Review, professing to gins the history and presperts of Reform in Par liament With an eieberats show of particularity as to dates and empesseive proposals on the subject, a narrative is prevented of bald and colourless facts, calculated only to discourage and mislead all earnest constitutional progress. Many interesting sad b e . portant facia are studiously omitted; In est a dew instances grave misstatements are mak r sad throughout the design is palpably revealed el try ing to persuade us that all Lord CiIITIUL Mr. Fox, and the men of their time, valued in Rehm was its tendency to curb the jobbing power of the Crown; and that the only motive which tin riled Lord bone RUSSELL, Mr. LAISSToN, and Earl Garr to advocate electoral change from 1819 to 1831. was the desire of breaking up the clues borough system, which prevented the passing of salutary mesaures. This desire we:are told was accomplished by the Bill of 1832, under which Par liament his become a hithfal and adequate repre sentation of the waste and feelings of the nation; nearly everything has been done which ought to be done, and hardly anything dons which ought not to be done. 'That the existing House of Commonable • reflected with fidelity the predominant opinions el " the great body of the community we hold to be • • matter of fact established by the evidence of *general neferiety. We defy say person to produce " sa instance where the Hones of Commons sines " 1832 has shown an undue disregard of public opisise." If this assertion be good for anything It is good for resistance to any measure of esesotial change. It is a clumsy and prolix reproduction of the old stock argument of anti-reformers daring the reigns of Gamier 111. and GEORGE IV.— never mind anomalies, the eystem works welL The ex-ministerial reviewer does not venture to make such an induction in terms ; but he avows plainly enough that he and his friends consider the Mt of 1633 final and conclusive against all farther claim of popular power.

A I parenthetical exception is made, indeed, in term of what may be called the claims of the commercial magnates. We are informed that there are not a ssmeient number of great monied men in the House of Commons,—that a few more millowEers, bankers, and brewers might be an improvement; they are ; declared to be a perfectly safe and docile element, and some provision ought to be made foe increasing their strength in Parliament. Bat as for conceding wilting whatever to mere intellect or mere ia dnetry, working loyalty sr moral worth, the notion is not even hinted at in the maihsto of the ItENDON•CLANIIICARDI ladies. If the =same about ' to be produced by Lord DERBY be in deardesse with the mending and darning principles d striae i finality thus avowed, it may as well be snowed to I pese. Bat if it attempts to go in the lent beyond i three principles, it ought by all mesas to be re jetted. The article concludes with these words : “ The question has been already three times post . " paned with the approbation of Parliament ; and a ...Aran delay would be preferable to a tame acquies " mots in an imperhet and unsatisfactory radium " which would only lay the foundation for a renewed "agitation of the subject at an early period." Stem the door in the people's faces, and bolt it : such is the "Edinburgh " order of the day. We have not space to enter at any length into an exposure of the multiplied misrepresentations which the article referred to contains. To make out a cue in latest d the adequacy of the present constitution of Perlismaat, and of the inefficiency of that which preceded E. a blank schedule is presented of *side, ' don for the first thirty years of the Notary, while a mimelhmeave catalogue of good, bad, and indifildest mows es. ell labelled " great benefits," are set down j te the essonnt of the staboequent ported. What dem of readers this sort of historical cariadare is meant to deceive we are somewhat at a loss to imagine ; bat most people now-a-days are aware that, bad as the old borough-mongering Par limeet me, it abolished the Blare Trade— it repaled the Ted and Corporation Act— it eimemesed the great miss of tentative measures of Free Trade ; it paned Catholic Emancipation; it consolidated and periled the Criminal Law; and it sanctioned the establishment of National Education in Ireland upon neutral principles. As spinet these great mama it were vain to set up an invidious emparison by any enumeration of those that have Mee been enacted ; yet they ere all coolly omitted by the candid reviewer. Why do we recur to them ? Amerudly sot to prove that nomination boroughs Were advantageous or beneficial ; but simply to illus. , taste the hollowness of the argument as to the sem tansy of the existing representative system, which it Is sought to found upon various useful things that I have been accomplished by means of it. Trot Newspapers have done it all ! We May paint our public virtue en inch thick, but to this com plexion it must come at last. The farsighted patriotism of the Markets will have it that " those " carved newspapers" aro the final cease of all the perturbations of the political atmosphere. It is the peculiarity of men who atheist on the calculation of surprises that they are always taken unawares by events which to mere theoriets, and to speak Napo leonically, idealognes, are as susceptible of interpre tation as the law of storms. Perhaps the truth is that your long-heeded friend whose business in life it is to discount eventualities is seldom well " up" in his premises from which he jumps to the most in soosevient oonclasiosia. When he comes to an awkward fence he takes the bit in his mouth, sod "rashes," with his ears bask and his noes well down. Sometimes, indeed, be affects to be a sleek in the weather offloe, and to have all the elements of change under his controL He makes the wet convenient and desirable •neage meats for days to come, when, by some freak of astute, • sudden shower or • burst of sunshine " lodges" his corn or dries up his splendid roots. It is no joke when you have been going a crow Goan try in your dreams all night, to turn out between six and seven next morning—not to • southerly wind and a cloudy sky, but to a base and brutal frost, There is no cure for it but ill-temper ; anathematise the man who calls you, and smash the barometer. Thedisinterated and dispassionate political meteoro logists who fall foul of the newspapers when any thing untoward occurs, are for ever making their own weather in advance and smashing the barometer when it declines to register " set fair." One would suppose tram the holy indignation of the practical ass, that all the dark uncertainty with which the sky of Europe is overcast had been crested by a gang of cloud-compelling journalists. For the last ten years, and Heaven knows far how many years before our time, the Continent of Europe has suf fered little from exam of light or prodigality of speech. The " practicer men have operated in safety and silence in the midst of armies and police, adder the shadow of despotic thrones. It was not the journalists that created the present Empire in France and placed the passion and the strength of a population of thirty-six millions at the disposal of a conspirator and a fatalist; it was not the restlessness of public writers that provoked the MINSCHIKOFF mission, or the passage of the Froth ; it is not to brawlers of the press that we owe the disasters inflicted by a mad ambition upon civilisation and humanity; or to reckless firebrands with pens in their heeds that the crying wrongs of oppressed nations and the cruel tyrannies of arbi tray power can be ascribed. There are laws and, eognestees, canes' sod effects, in the political ea io the nahnil world; and in the one as in the other essepresisa presides, but never prevents, explosion. The conagessess of public crimes are often digni fied with the nese of fatalities, became the crimes are honoured se lea( as they are successful ; yet in tie sight of a higher wisdom, who can doubt that the catastrophes which the actual condition of Zerope seems to threaten are as demonstrably in evitable as the conclusions of • mathematical problem of which the data are ascertained ? But we preach to men who, if in miogoverned states bonds are worthless, scrip so much waste paper, finance a conspiracy, credit a wind-bag, guarantees sad securities so many snares and pitfall, the meaty market, like the rest of the institution, one gnosis coveters from first to last, danosnese banast newspapers, because honest news papers will est sey Pease, where there is no pew?, and Canalises*, whom distrust is at ones a neoesiity sad a duty. What es the data of the problem which at this mood distracts and perplexes every Government mod every counting-hone in Europe I' Frazee: Austria: Italy. Surely it needs no mire 'oleos gift of cyphering to make out the quotient In web a simple Hale of Three sum as this. All we my is, let the sum be worked out without appealing to the financial genius of England. Given, a military , despotism hampered with rsvolutiooary traditions of glory and conquest, and condoeted by jobbers; an ; oppressed yet ardent and aspiring nationality grata down by detested tyrannies, foreign and domestie.l and panting for the inheritance of freedom which , five millions of their Subalpine brethren bare woe and kept : these, no doubt, are not conditions of a lasting rocs. Bat wie ask the creatures of panic ee whom newspapers areas abominable 4 to soldier salmly whether pubis writers in a free asentry where the sensciemee decoders is the severest cen sorship, on fairly elmaleable with the ealamities to which the peace and prosperity of nations are in oessaotly exposed by Governmenta which barely tolerate the unbidden tongue, much less the un licensed pia, within the limits of their sway ? How is it that all the signs and warnings which have struck every Bonne with palsy proceeded from that great patron of credit and preserver of order and stability whom all the men of money have de lighted to worship as a second Providence? How is it that all Ai. journals, official or officious, never broke the silence of complicity until millions of negotiable securities had changed hands; and then after ten days' convulsion, protested—too much to be believed—that warlike preparations and hostile compliments meant peace and amity, and reaped for treatise ? Every independent journal on the Conti nent, every influential journal is England, has un equivocally declared for peace. It is only in the smells of gamblers who play with bolted doors that conspiracies of war are idly and recklessly staked. When in decent society we meet a notoriously " suc cessful" player, are we to be branded as quarrelsome and mischievous, because we warn the company against the shakers of loaded dice and the de►lers of marked cards?

The action of the pseud law is abolished or suspended for all crimes punishable with the first or seoond degree of punish ment, " °online," exile, or lines, provided they are crimes committed before the date of this decree. Art.B. Those are excluded from the present sove reign indulgence who have been accused or con demned for theft, for " Waits," for fraud, for simple bankruptcy, or fraudulent failures. Such are the in dulgences which it has pleased thsgovernment to pub lish. There are others so called of which no official notice has as yet been given. Let us examine this amnesty a little in detail. On Sunday afternoon, Jan. 9, the royal judge of the district visited the prisons of Montesarchio, and read the royal decree in the presence of all the pri soners. It was dated Deo. 27, and grants " grazie " to upwards of eighty political prisoners who are condemned to irons, on condition of perpetual exile from the kingdom. Amongst the names of those mentioned there are ten imprisoned in Montenrchio, that ;is to say, Piruiti, Castromediano, Nino, Pica, Daro, Braioo, Mollies, Palermo, Oerain, and Poerio. After the decree the judge read a ministeriale, dated Jan. 6, which limits the above grazia, providing that they whose punishment was to be commuted should be tranported to Cadiz, and thence to such part of America es each might choose. Lastly, they were asked if they ac cepted such conditions. Some replied that they accepted the decree, but not the limitation expressed in the ministeriale, which would be only an aggra vation of their sufferings, being nothing more than a transportation to the continent of America, whereas a man exiled perpetually from the kingdom his the riili e t r y going where he wills. The decree is fact is a commutation ; the ministerial e an illegal, a one but thoroughly Neapolitan mode of setting it aside. Thu after Iy s ar. of imprisonment and of punishment in the galley s , men with reined health and paralysed in their lim are to be some thousands of miles hence, and this is an amnesty. I understand that others of the ' amnes tied' have been almost morally compelled to ask for or to assent to the proposition of transportation ; but what is worse than all is, that a commissary of police, either yesterday morning or Sunday, visited the pri eon of S. M. Apperente, wherein are confined up wards of 100 men who have never been brought to trial. By him it was intimated to these unfortunate untried and uncondemned persons, that if they did not consent to leave the kingdom for America they would suffer perpetual imprisonment. At present the facts are not generally known, and all those who adopt the tone of the court are talking of the ele mency of the paternal sovereign, whilst the majority receive the decree with the utmost coldness, es an individual good only, as a final measure made to please and to delude the Western Powers. But amongst those who are informed of the manner in which the decree hes been modified there is getting up a " fretnito and we shall have a greater excitement than has been yet known. In fact, oil has been thrown on latent fire, and I can ill describe the disgust and in dignation with which those measures have been re ceived where they are fully known. America is said to have been suggested by Lord Malmes bury as the place of deportation. If so, the fact should be received with indignation by every Englishman ; and though foreign politics are not much in favour at home when such im mense domestic interests command attention, at all events let acts he well canvened which may compromise the honour and the humanity of our government and our country. I have said a hundred times that the return of a Bri tish minister to this court on the foundation of a simple amnesty would be a great error, but under such circumstances as those which have now been created it would be to sanction an illegality,a decep tion, a barbarity, and would bring down upon us the contempt and anger of all Italy. Of one thing I think you may feel assured, that France will not send a minister. I may be mistaken, but Ido not think it is her policy so to do. Ske will certainly maintain her honour by not sending one. I must return to this subject, for from want of time I have not been able to explain all the facts of the ease. INDIA. THE BOMBAY MAILS. The following telegram from Mr. Acting-Consul. General Green arrived at the Foreign-office at 1.30 a.m., Jan. 18, dated Alexandria, Jan. 10, 1839 : ,‘ ALEXANDRIA, J kw. 10. " The steamer Benues arrived at Suez from Bom bay on the 6th instant. The dates are—Bombay, Dec. 24; Aden, Dec. 31. The subjugation of the disturbed districts is rapidly progressing; the in surgents are dissolving before the merciful condi tions offered by the Queen's proclamation, and the dismantling of forts and disarming of the population is being carried on rigorously. "On the Ist December Brigadier Troup's column met a large body of rebels at Siam, in Oude, com manded by Ismael Khan. Our artillery and cavalry only were engaged, but the enemy made very little stand, and fled. The result of this affair was that, on the 4th, Ismael Khan gave himself up, with a considerable number of adherents. Some others have since followed hie example. " Tantia Topee is still at large. When last heard of he was supposed to be making for Oodejlore, in Rajpoottna. " On the 6th December a party of rebel fugitives from the Fil Faith, at Biswa, eluding the vigilance of the British troops posted along the banks of the Ganges, between Cawnpore and Kimong, crossed at once into the Doab, with intention, it is conjectured, of joining Tantia Topee in Central India. This party, under Ferode Shah, mustered 900 horse, 300 foot, one small gun, and some elephants. On the Bth they were encountered by Mr. Home, who was forced to retire upon Hurchandpore, where he occu pied a small fort. " On the 12th the rebel party was at Tangeooa, moving south, plundering and burning as they went, and closely pursued by General Napier. "The following telegram, dated Owalior, 18th December, from Major Msnakersen, gives the latest intelligence of them at Ranade:— "' On the 17th December, Sir R. Napier's force beat and pursued with slaughter, for eight miles, the rebels under Ferode Shah. Captain Meade, 14th Dragoons, captured six elephants. Captain Pretlyaho, 14th Dragoons, wounded in leg, and eight or tea men wounded, none killed.' "J. GREEN, Malta, 14th January. "ARTHUR FANSHAWE, Vice Admiral." PRUSSIA. BIRLIN, SATIMSAY.

(nom ova OWN C011111POND1IIT.) PARIS, SONDAT EVTNINO. The Memorial Diplomatique and other journal continue to preach pesoe. The Steele is very war. like. The Presse rests upon its oars. The Nord of Brussels says very truly that whatever the Con. atilutiorosel, or any other semi-official journal, may say, nothing can be known definitively u to the in tentions of the French government until an answer comae from Vienna to a diplomatic note which has been sent there. My own private opinion, founded upon a great variety of circumstances, is that the Emperor means war. The Indepoisianos Belga contains a piece of news touching Prince Napoleon's projected marriage, which, if true, is highly intnesting. You will have rems•ked that the Mositur in announcing the Prince's departure for Turin said not a word of the object of his journey. The reason for this silence is now suggested to be that the King of Sardinia will act impose a husband upon his daughter whom she may not like. The Prince. Glotbilda has never seen the Prince Napoleon, and he has gone to Turin to show himself, and endeavour to Sod favour in her eyes. To the uncertainty as to the choice of the printer is attributed the extreme reserve with which the Sardinian Ambeasador, M. de Yillamarina, spoke of the marriage at the lad ball at the Tuileries. I cannot, however, bring myself to think that • cousin of the French Emperor would go all the way to Turin to be refused. I have no doubt that before another forty-eight hours have elapsed we shall be told that the elderly imperial bachelor and the young royal prince., fresh from the nursery, are ss deeply in love with each other u Romeo and Juliet. This evening's Pain's says that the betrothal, which wee "erroneously" stated to be fixed for Monday, will not take place till Tuesday or Wednesday. The telegraph from Turin will now be watched with tense interest. It is stated both by the Nord and thelndependamee that before Prince Napoleon left for Piedmont the Emperor asked bim point blank whether it wee true that he had inspired the warlike articles that had lately appeared in the Presse, and that the Prince positively assured hie Majesty that he had nothing whatever to do with them. This convene. lion must have been the foundation of the disclaimer of the Prince inserted in the Press* the other day, and to which I alluded at the time. Parisians, without of course doubting the Prince's word, which is no doubt as much to be relied upon as that of the Sovereign himself, continue to believe that there is a mysterious connexion between bim and the Press.. The Duke de Broglie, an Orleaniet par sang, was called as a witness before the slave-trade comer lion, presided over by Prince Napoleon. He pro. nounced an unhesitating opinion that the " immi• gration," as practised by the Charles-et-Georges and other French vessels in like case, was to all intents and purposes identical with the slave trade. The duke's evidence was listened to with great attention. The Prince Napoleon overwhelmed him with polite ness, and while conducting him to the door assured him that his views would probably be adopted by the commission, but at all events by the govern ment. It has long been notorious that Mgr. Suomi, the present Nuncio in Paris, is not a favorite at the Tuileries. Mgr. Spam Pietra and others have from time to time been talked of as likely to super. rode him. The latest rumour on the subject is that the Emperor has expressed a preference for * Corsican prelate, long devoted to the Bonaparte family; but the Court of Rome objects that the personage in question has no diplomatic experience except what he may have gained in the course of a temporary mission in the Court of the Emperor Soulouque. PARIS, SATERDAT EVENING. The period for the final celebration of the marriage between the Prince Napoleon and the Prince. Clothilda will not be fixed, till after the ratification of the marriage contract by the two courts. Imme diately after the " betrothal" the terms of the con tract will be settled by diplomatic negotiations. The marriage will be celebrated in the first instance by procuration at Turin. The Sardinian laws do not recognise a civil marriage, and, therefore, the for mality prescribed by the Code Napoleon cannot be complied with until the bride arrives in France. A Paris letter in the Sbnaphore of Marseilles My/ : Not only has the English government expressed its faction at the projected marriage of Prince Napoleon, but in formation has base received that Queen Victoria will be re gressated at Turin at the marriage ceremony. Is not Eng land also the ally of Piedmont ? When the Prince brims his royal bride to Paris he will take up his residence at the PEW. Royal, his private house is the Avenue Montaigne being intended for another purpose. It will always be at tbs disposal:of the Pliocene, bet, instead of being bet moue place of residence, it is to be made a kind of country hour, where the Prince will repose from the fatigues of his administration. It is also said that the Prince intends to make • prevent of It to the Princess. In order to increase the charm of this artis tic...Ll residence, Prince Napolets la &bonito make it a kind GI where, amidatnumerous other objects of err, be sal placed! the curiosities which he has collected in his voyages. The Bourse has been firmer than on any day since I the panic set in. The reproduction in the Nositeur of certain paragraphs of a pacific tendency from the German papers, added to the various rumours to which I have above alluded, encouraged confidence. The great fall in prices has brought forward a great many small purchasers for money. The Rente rose 25c. for cseh and 45c. for account, closing at 69f. and 681'. 9.1 e. Mobilier closed without change. The railway market was calm, with little business doing. Orleans fell fif. 75c. ; Northern rose 7f 50c. ; and Southera and Western, sf. each; in the other lines there was scarcely any change. A meeting of the directors (French and foreign) of the Isthmus of Suez Canal Company was held to-day at the offices in the Place 'Vendome, and was very fully attended. Mr. D. A. Lange, the English dele gate, addressed the meeting in French, and in the course of a long speech read letters front engineers and adduced the opinions of a large body of the English public, and of many members of parliament, as evidence against the objections which have been urged to the practicability of the scheme. The meeting passed resolution, to the effect that a con tract should be entered into for commencing the works immediately, and that • sum of 20,0001. should be appropriated from the funds of the com pany to make a beginning. Most of the English journals were detained at the Poet-office till a very late hour to-day, in come quence of their reports of Mr. Roebuck's speech at Sheffield ; but the authorities ultimately resolved to allow them to be distributed.

TURIN, SUNDAY EVENING. Prince Napoleon arrived here at 3 p.m. ; he wu received at the terminus by Prince Carignan. The concourse assembled to await his arrival greeted him with shouts of " Viva Napoleone," " Viva ii Re," " Viva Francia," and "Viva Italia." The Prince drove direct to the Royal Palace, and was received at the foot of the grand staircase by the King and his ministers. This evening a grand representation will take place in the Theatre Royal in honour of his Imperial Highness. (mom oca own TURIN, JAN. 12. A regiment of hussars is stationed at Maggenta, a place not more thee a mile and a half from the Sardinian frontier. The Austrians give out that them human, are to prevent desertion on the part of the new oonsoripte, but that part of the country is quite a woodland, which cavalry is incapable of guarding. It is true that the conscripts have not as yet presented themselves at quarters, end some s;xty or so have crossed the borders. Milan is full of troops, and rumoo• says that they number twenty thosimed men. The reinforcements have all come from Lower Austria. At Cremona they are Kill busily engaged in constructing an entrenched eamp, which is to be more than a mile round. It abuts on a place called Montioelli, which is situate in the Duchy of Parma, and it will put the troops of the camp in communication with the for tress of Piacenza. General Giulay has gone to Venice, where he will wait for the departure of the Archduke Maximilian, and then swum. the sole command of Lomb-do-Venetia. I mentioned to you in my last that he was • very ambitions man ; and I now leant that he is extremely wealthy. The trust reposed in him at Vienna would be extrava gant under ordinary circumits noes ; bat he is • Hungarian, cordially detested by his fellow-oonntry men ; and u he knows this—he has sold himself, body and soul, to the imperial government. His temper is haughty, and he is capable of any violent act. He has often declared that at the very first symptom of a movement by the Milanese of an armed insurrectionary nature, he would put them to the sword, and make the canal run with blood. His military abilities, oo the other hand,are not above mediocrity, so that in ease of war he could not be placed at the head of the army. It is General Hesse who is destined for that command, and who it is said will very probably come to Italy before long. We are informed by many letters that Hungary is beginning to awake. In that country also smoking has been discontinued. There is great discontent at Vienna itself. The presence of a regiment of hussars so near to the frontier caused this city to be a little agitated yesterday, notwithstanding the great confidence reposed in the government, and in the active foresight of General La Marmon. Persons said that greater and more vigorous armaments were required. Be this as it may, they are working indefatigably day and night at the war-ministry ; and the troops are disposed in such a manner, that 60,000 men can be concen trated on the frontier within two days. English diplomacy indulges in the belief that our differences with Austria can be adjusted in a pacific manner. Some semi-official journals at Berlin give utterance to the same hope. I, however, have good and serious grounds for believing that this is all a vain illusion. The language addressed to Baron Hubner was the unmasking of the first battery; the second point is the threatening no's sent to Austria, and to which I alluded in my last; the third has been the approval bestowed on the speech of the King Victor EmmanueL There will bs no doubt feigned retreats and armistices, but war has been decreed in high places. Should Mere be no tear— and pray note well these words — .amts ewe would signally break his plighted faith and compacts already sealed. Whether the pesos will be broken io two months, or later still, I do not know. Do not be surprised even at hearing a Congress spoken of. The getting up of the drama for representation may be long and laborious, but it will eventually be played out, and be no less sanguinary than terrible. At this moment, whilst I am writing, serious news has just arrived from Milan. Three hundred arrests were made last night in that city, and a great many also in Pavia. The garrison in this last place is being strengthened every day, and it now amounts to about 8,000 men. The College of Ohisilieri and other public edifices have been converted into bar racks. All this coincides with a rumour that has been current foe some time past, to the effect that the Austrians were in expectation of large reinforce ments, with which they might be enabled to change their tactics and commence the work of suppression vi et amis.
