A LEASE being admitted to be an indispensable condition to good farming, it might be supposed thvt leases of farms would soon become general. The question, however, is not a simple one. Lord A, or Squire B, resolves to grant leases : he directs his land agent and his law agent to that effect ; bat when the tenants learn the multifarious restrictions, reserva tions, and regulations the leases are to contain, they are at least indifferent to the proffered boon, while the landlord says, " the outcry about leases is all non sense ; my tenants won't take leases." It may be thought that all this is a matter between the landowner; and his tenants, with which the public can have little or nothing to do ; but that would be an extremely narrow view of the subject. Land in this country may be deemed an instrument for the manu facture of food ; what may be called its natural pro duce bears but a small proportion to what it can be male to produce in the hands of a skilful farmer sufficiently supplied with capital ; and the price of food here is mainly dopoudont upon the amount of good farming, and the consequent productiveness of our soil. Importation can and will occasionally supply deficiencies at home, and will constantly fur nish auxiliary supplies, especially of the inferior grains which furnish the food of stock, and thus be come indirectly a great help to home production. But upon home produce, on progress of husbandry amongst our own farmers, it will chiefly depend whe ther or not our toiling population shall enjoy abun dance. If that be so, and it cannot be gainsaid, the terms of the leases of our landholders have an interest much wider than the circle of their tenantry or the bounds of their estates. When, as is the fact, it can be truly asserted that one-third of increased pro duce might be obtained on most estates in England by giving to the tenants the security of long leases. the public has obviously a deep and direct interest in re moving the prejudices and fears, which have hitherto prevented landlords from granting leases acceptable to the tenants. Now what is or should be the contract into which a farmer enters when hiring a farm ? He should have such a complete possession, and for as long a time, as will enable him to bring the land into its most productive state. This caa only be done by the combination of good tillage, with a large appli cation of manure by means of stock, and the good farmer is always improving his land. lie does not make an outlay at the commencement of a rotation of crops, and take out of the land again all the benefit of his expenditure by the end of the rotation, leaving the land itself no better than when he started. On the contrary, each successive rotation leaves the land in an improved state, and forms the foundation of further improvement. But this can only be accom plished by skill and expenditure ; and to suppose that either will be forthcoming, in the requisite degree, without the security of a lease, is absurd. Practi cally, yearly tenants do not raise the condition of their farms. An illustration of this occurred in a recent discussion at the Farmers Club House, "on the best and most economical method of thrashing grain," when it appeared that to thrash out wheat with the flail cost from 3s. to ss. a quarter, and that horse labour, taking into account the losing the horses from field work at a busy season, was not much cheaper ; but a steam thrashing-machine enabled the farmer to get out his wheat at Is. 3;,d. the quarter. On which Mr. BAKER observed : If you are in a position to avail yourseiwo of the steam-engine, there is doubtless a great saving of expense; but unfortunately it so happens that tit^ nivority of tenant-farmers are so situated with regard to their tenure, that it is impassible, or if not impossible, it would not be prudent to go to the repose of 2001. to 3051. in erecting machinery and they do not end the landlords willing to do it for them. Thu is a groat obstacle to the introduction of machinery. Practically the farmer will have to drain his land if it requires draining; he will have to make frequent, perhaps considerable, outlays in preparing his home stead for a full stock ; for, though all this is properly the landlord's business, it, nine times in ten, falls upon the tenant to do: the work or go without the ad vantages. He ought to be able to remove trees, for he pays rent for all the land, and in many farms the trees prevent the growth of any crop whatever upon five per cent. of the land. The tenant should also have the right to remove hedgerows, throwing together small fields, and so forth. He ought also to be at liberty to break up grass land, at all events except that which may be of first-rate quality. The principle of a lease ought to be that the tenant should have complete dominion of the land during the currency of his lease, subject, of course, to be dispossessed for I non-payment of rent, or dilapidation of the farm. The object should be to minimise restriction. The lease commonly adopted in England is the reverse of all this. We have now before us the form of a lease, published by a well-known land-agent as a "form of a far m lease adapted to the present times," but which is still a most cumbrous docu- meat. After a demise of the farm in the accustomed lan guage, the landlord reserves out of the grant of the farm " all timber and trees, saplings, and minerals," with li berty to cut down the trees, and work and carry away the timber and produc e of the minerals ; also the right to alter hedges "and plant trees in the hedge r rotes or on other parts of the land ;"also of exchanging I intermixed lands ; of making and. altering roads or footpaths ; of diverting streams ; of making ponds ht or leading water into or throu g h the farm ; of rig of entry to view the state of the farm ; also to sow we ds with the last year's corn crops of t tenant. The landlord also reserves the right of shoot ing, and all game, except hares and rabbita, the te an nant u ndertaking to preserve the reserved game dto prosecute poachers. The tenant's name is also to be used by the landlord in all actions for trespass. A given quantity of arable land may also be taken away at any time for allotments to labourers. In point of language the s u gg ested form is less verbose than most leases,but where else is there improvement ? The reservation of existing timber is perhaps not un reasonable, if accompanied with a stipulation for its gradual removal; but the right to plant more trees, and the reservation of saplings and so forth, constitute one of the moat objectionable stipulations a lease can contain. Then the reservation of game is kserious source of discomfort and loss to the farmer. It implies destruc tion amongst his crops, a band of gamekeepers and gainewatchers ac ting as spies over himself and his men ; he must keep no dogs, lest he disturb the game ; he must employ no rat-catchers or rabbit-catchers, lest they poach the game; he must not plough up his stubbics, lest there be no cover for the game : in a word, he is i nvolved in all the annoy aneL s and vexations of a game farm. The keepers tattle about him, the landlord is jealous of him, and the farmer's life is a continual brawl. In truth, any reservation of game is ' a bar to good cultivati on, and must effectually prevent a man of independent mind accepting a lease with such a reservation. The other reservations arc perhaps of less practical importance, but they constitute a power, on the part of the landlord, of dealing with the land as ho pleases, notwithstanding it is under lime to a tenant, which must always be offensive, and may be most prejudicial to the tenant. At this point of the reservations out of a proposed model lease, we must, for the present, suspend our comments. Anton all our contemporaries in Paris, and some of those at home, seem, in their views and discussions upon foreign policy, to assume a principle which, however true at one time, is no longer either true or applicable in the present state of the world. Of old, princes or nations might be considered in the light of a collection of wild beasts, exclusively bent on the pos sibility and the pleasure of devouring each other. The only exception was when two or three of these potentates agreed to suspend their canine appetites with regard to one another, in order that they together might devour with more case and satisfaction some other of the party beyond the limits of their alliance. We will not deny, that there exist relics of this appetite, and that gross instances of its greedily satis fying its desires upon helpless and innocent victims, have occurred in our day. But we must, at the same time, admit, that European states have in general advanced from these habits of savage policy, to higher, more domestic, and at the same time mor e philanthropic views. Aggrandisement is not every thing with them, nor the means of aggrandisement, being armies, treasure, cunning diplomatists, and able generals. These things arc indeed prized, but far more as the means of prevention and defence, than of the old system of offence. The Parisian journalists, however, and too many of their readers, proceed upon the supposition that the great aims and the true spirit of policy, are and ought to be the same in the nineteenth as they were in the sixteenth end seventeenth centuries. To extend frontiers, to conquer, to dominate and domineer, ought, iu their opinions, to be the motives of free countries, of its representative assemblies and consti tutional governments, just as much as such motives actuated Louts THE FOURTEENTH and CHARLES THE FIFTH. The form of government has been changed from despotism to freedom. But, according to this school, freedom should simply take up the selfish task that despots have laid down,and go careering through the world, upon the old goose-chase of glory. Hence their ideal of a constitutional king is that of a sovereign, who keeps up large fleets and armies, and unembarrassed revenues, and who, limiting his measures of domestic government tokeeping his people quiet and governable, applies his energies and address to the old habit of taking every possible advan tage of every neighbour--cheating the one, beat ing the other, taking the place of a third, the territory or the trade of a fourth ; and, in fact, enacting on the throne the part of the most clever, unscrupulous fellow in the world. The Napoleon of war and the Napoleon of peace are both heroes of this school; heroes, in deed, of a different caste, and by different means; but with eye, intellect, and policy exerted towards the selfsame selfish aims. One of the corollaries of this system is the impera tive necessity of classing all countries either as friend or foe. Alliances form a necessary part of it, since political game cannot be ran down by the single hunter. France, therefore, with such writers, cannot possibly exist for a single year, developing its re sources, extending its freedom or its activity in its trade. It must be the member of an alliance; be leagued either with England against Russia, or with Russia against England ; whilst all the effects of domestic policy must be subservient to the grand idea. The Presse holds forth every morning on this theme, and even the more rational Djbats indulges in a little coquetry with Russia whenever England shows ill humour. We pay far too much attention to these bouderies of the press, these menaces and phantasmagoria of alliances, which have slight foundation in truth, or possibility. France almost alone in dulges in these superannuated dreams, which do but prove her national spirit and civilisation to be the most backward and retrograde of Europe. England is quite insensible to such things, nor would inch ideas ever come before her vision, if the fume and fret of French impatience did not conjure them up and force theta upon us. Prussia is completely and wisely absorbed in civil and domestic policy. Austria is the same. Even the Czar has turned in dis gust from his childish piques and frenzied wish to re-subdue the west. The black eagle seems wisely to repose in its own strength, and scorn the old puerile habit of seeking foes, friends, and alliances, all un natural, all forced, and consequently all vain. The French press has, however, got astride its cheval de &stalk of foreign policy, and scorns to use its It in treading the soil of peace and domestic im provement. Conquest, glory, grandeur, rivalry, the most Quixotic aims, and fumes obfuscate it. The sensible old King is himself carried away with it, and sets off now and then in a canter to Algeria or to Morocco, or Tahiti and Madrid, in search of a gain, or a triumph for his policy. He is intoxicated with the self-same folly, for which he himself must laugh at Louts XIV., and thinks himself fortunate to have acquired a formidable foe and a possible war, as a dowry for his youngest son ! Active politicians cannot avoid feeling resent ment, and taking precautions against such mis chievous over-activity. But if one withdraws, even in fancy, to some far distance from these deeds of mock grandeur and puny ambition, so as to take such a view of them as posterity will take, the sense of ridicule overcomes that of anger, and we dismiss with contempt what at first sight appeared worthy to pro voke.indignation. MR. HOOD'S return from the Rio de la Plata, with his mission of peace =accomplished, is truly unfor tunate. When that diplomatist sailed, the French Government was probably sincere in its wishes to put an end to the war, even at the expense of some con cession to its old enemy, ROSAS. Louis PHILIPPE, personally, is known to have always had an objection Paris. Tom'• on either aide of the channel has disappeared; mutual desire to thwart and to annoy has probably succeeded to anxiety to conciliate. Icor can we hope that the power of DEFFAIIDIS to resist any agreement, at all calculated to satisfy RoSAS, will be diminished. It is to be hoped, however, that the good sense of M. OUIZOT will prompt rather to control his agent than indulge his spleen. Our interference in the Plats has been as null in its aim , as disgraceful in its opera tion. The blockade of such a place as Buenos Ayres is idle, and the vain repetition of it has merely em boldened its rulers to resist every European demand. If tho great aim of Franco be the independence and prosperity of Monte Video, these are so far from being secured by the continuance of the war, that, we should say, it could scarcely long survive its present state of suffering and inanition. The little state must be left, in come degree, to self-support; and to something more than a legion of folligners encamped and armed within its walls. SomeTf the French ministers seem to put great hopes in a city thus peopled with French emigrants : they even regard it in the light of a colony. They forget that this alone, were it certain to prevail, would unite against Monte Video every man of peninsular race in South America ; and would necessitate, as indeed it has already done, a sempiternal intervention to sup port it. The Paris journals of Sunday are devoid of interest. The ltoyal family still continued at Com piegne. Marshal Soult arrived in Paris on Saturday evening. On Friday evening Lord Normanby gave a brilliant soirée at the hotel of the Embassy, at which all the members of the diplomatic corps at Paris were present, those of the Spanish Embassy excepted. Neither the Spanish Ambassador, nor his secretaries, nor any of his attaches or employes, were seen there. The Legitimate journals having magnified the public importance of the alliance of the Duke of Bordeaux with the Princess of Modena, have con tinued for some days to taunt the dynastic journals with the silence they have observed on this sub ject, and have ascribed their reserve to vexation at the brilliancy of the connexion formed by the Pretender. The Journal des Debuts has at length been provoked to a reply, and has devoted its leading article on Sunday to this subject, declaring that the rights of Louis Philippe and his race, having their origin and foundation in the charter of 1830, cannot be affected either by tie continuance or extinction of the race of the elder Bourbons, assert ing at the same time the analogy between the relation which Louis Philippe bears to the dynasty of the elder Bourbons and that which Queen Victoria bears to the Stuarts. The ministerial journal breaks through its usual tone of forbearance, and alludes, not without a certain sneer, at the number of houses at whose doors the exiled prince knocked for a wife, before he could find one to admit him, and was at length compelled to content himself with a princess several years his own senior, sister of a petty Italian sovereign, the only potentate in Europe, great or small, who has never directly or indirectly acknowledged the monarch of the Barri- elides. Our Paris correspondent states that a cabinet council was held on Friday, at which M. Guizot submitted the answer to Lord Palmerston's late elabo rate despatch, that this document was sent to Com piegne for the approbation of the King on Saturday, and will probably have been despatched to London either Sunday or Monday. The substance of this diplomatic note had not transpired, but it was under stood to be a reply to Lori. Palmerston's arguments, conceived in a moderate spirit, concluding, however, with a declaration, of the strongest and most explicit I kind, that the French government can never consent, lunder any circumstances, to the renunciation on the part of the Duke and Duchess of Alontpensicr, for themselves or their offspring, of any hereditary rights whatsoever to the crown of Spain. The price of bread in Paris for the last fortnight in I November has been fixed at 46 cent. per kiln : , being an advance of about 7 per cent. on the last price, and equivalent to 2d. 3-10 per lb. English. The ceremony de possesso ' of which an account will he found in the letter of our correspondent, was observed at Itonie on the Bth instant. The Pope seized the occasion of the day for the an nouncement of several measures of civil and political reform, conceived in that liberal spirit which has distinguished the advent of his sovereignty. Three commissions are appointed of a mixed kind, composed partly of ecclesiastics and partly of laymen. The object of the first is, a reform in civil and criminal processes, and, accordingly, the magistrates and most celebrated advocates of the country arc members of it. The two others arc for the amelioration of the muni cipal system, and the suppression of vagrancy and mendicancy, which forms one of the most discredit able features of the Italian states. The Roman nobles and persons most distinguished by their for tune and enlightenment, are members of these commissions conjointly with some of the higher clergy. Another edict was published on the same day relating to the construction of railways through the Papal states. The Moniteur has the following paragraph:— " In the tempest which lately took place in Terra Nova, the commander of the French war steamer the Flambeau, saved and received on board the officers, crew, and pas sengers of an English vessel, which was wrecked in sight of Miguelon. His Excellency Lord Normanby has expressed to the King's government the gratitude of the English go- I vet nment for the assistance that the governor and authorities of St. Pierre, and the commander and officers of the Flam beau gave to the shipwrecked vessel, and those whom it contained." We find the following in the Constitutionel :-- " We, a few days back, expressed an opinion that the government would not engage in any expedition against Madagascar, at least for the present. Our prcstontiona appear to be in course of realisation, as a part of the vessels on the station in those latitudes arc said to have been recalled." Advice! from Switzerland, of the 11th, state that the Vorort has addressed to the states of the confede ration a circular, by which it informs them that the provisional government of Geneva has apprised it that the grand council was constituted on the 20th October; and in consequence, the Vorort has put itself in com munication with the provisional government. This act of the executive body of the confederacy will im pose on all the states the legal necessity of acknow ledging the Genevese revolution, which was previo usl y refused by some of them. A letter from Lucerne, of the 9th, states that the government of that city was preparing itself for defence, in case the free-corps should renew the strug gle of last At the hour of closing the poet on Sunday the Madrid mails of the 10th had not been received at PARIS, Nov. 14. The visit paid by Lord Normanby to the Duke and Duchess de Montpenster, which has moved both the court and the city, caused the funds to rise, and made the ministry assume airs of triumph, as if they bad gained a great triumph, has, however, wrought no change in the actual condition of affairs, or of public opinion. Is England desirous of renew ing her friendly relations with France? Has Lord Nor manby received instructions different from those which de cided him not to join the corps diplomatique when they pre sented their congratulations to the King and the royal family ? The joy of the ministers at what has since occurred would lead one to suppose so. M. Guizot, however, is more reserved in his language ; he even affects to say that the situation remains the same, and that the instructions sent to Lord Normanby prescribed to him not to be present at the marriage rites, but not to abstain from those acts of courtesy which governments exchange with each other through their official representatives ; and that, in waiting upon the Duke de Montpensier, the English ambassador bad only earriedoutthe real intentions of his government. It seems then that this act of Lord Normanby does not possess all the importance which the public has allowed itself to believe. After, as well as before, the relations of the two governments remain cold and constrained. A kindly feeling exists no longer on either side, and events are progressing towards a rupture. There is no greater proof of the wish to preserve the English alli ance than the anxiety with which the public watch all the phases of our diplomatic relations with your government, and the favourable impression which every hope, or every appearance of a reconciliation between the two cabinets, produces. To explain this double movement of public opi nion it is necessary to go back to the events of 1810. The national sentiment here has retained a lively irritation against the British government, and a long series of amicable acts was necessary to overcome it. At the same time, men's 1 :T 1 k . 4- -riff. TUESDAY EVE/914 4 3, ..NOVEMBER 17, 1846 - ri4ilisfully impressed sdrii : moral impossibility of a rupture between England and - France ; feel that the pesos of the world depends on the geed understanding be tween the two lotions who are at the head of civilisation. This fact ought to assure you that there is no chance of a coming al li ance between France and Russia. The Emperor of the-Muscovites may make what advances he pleases, and load our diplomatists with caresses, but the phantom of Poland will always rise between him and France. This alliance, therefore, is chimerical, but there is a power to wards which Louis Philippe principally inclines, and whose name is looked upon by the nation as an emblem of treason and turpitude. I mean Austria and M. de Metternich. At ddlerent periods the cabinet of the Tuileries has made attempts, which it has thought have been crowned with success, to come to a good understanding with the court of Vienna. Very recently it flattered itself with having interested M. de Metternich in its quarrel with the English cabinet. But the moment tbeententecordiale was renewed on one side, came the marriage of the Duke de Bordeaux with the daughter of the Duke of Modena, a marriage made with the consent of ' Austria, and which excited our emigres of the Faubourg St. Germain to cries of joy. This is certainly an unpleasant event for the king, and may be looked upon as a proof of the equivocal intentions of Austria towards him ; but no farther importance is to be attached to it. The King of the French is hurt at.d humiliated at the pretended rivals of his dynasty finding a good reception in foreign countries. As to Austria, without entertaining hostile lineations against the House of Orleans, she is not sorr vey to have in reser, in case of need an heir to the elder branch of the Bourbons. If embarrassments are created for her in Paly, she will make a diversion in La Vendv , e, provided the embonpoint of the Duke de Bordeaux admits of his making war agaiast the Chouans. But beyond that point M. de Metternich, or rather the shade of that statesman, will hold the most friendly intercourse with Id. ROME, Nov. 8. The grand ceremony of taking formal possession of the Lateran Church began thin morning, and is not yet termi natsd, though the gunsofSt. Angelo are just now marking by their reverberated roar that the must solemn stage of the business is being enacted. To this exhibition of Papal pomp the whole country round has been flocking in for the last two or three days, and the constant arrivals from Naples and Florence have evinced no less interest on the part of foreign visitants. The Olympic games of Greece could scarcely pre sent a fairer gathering in epitome of the various Hellenic tribes than Rome presented this week of all the surrounding towns in a circuit of ens hundred miles, diversified in cos tume as distinctly, and as easily recoginsalsle by a peculiar justapeedtion of primitive co lours, as the highland clans. Down from the suburban hills came bands of music and troops of p . illerari, to describe the general effect of which would require the classical bagpipe of Mr. Macaulay; ex. gr. The horaornen and the fsatmen " For aged folks on crutches, Came pouring in amain, And women big with child, From many a stately market Mid mothers gloating o'er their town— babes, From many a fruitful plain— That clungto them and smiled; From many a lonely hamlet, And sick men borne on litters, Which, hid by beech and pine, High on the necks of slaves, Like an eagle's nest hangs on And troops of sunburnt bus the crest barmaid; Of purple Apennine. With reaping hooks and staves, " And droves of mules and asses Laden with skins of wine," fce.&c. &c., literally " choked every roaring gate" of the city, princi pally on the side of Tivoli, rascate, and Albano. For several evenings past the theatres have resounded with accla mations bestowed on a dell drama of Abbe Metastasio, dug out of oblivion for the purpose of political allusion, La Clemenza di Tito; and it was obvious that a popular de monstration, on a gigantic scale, was about to be given to his I lel Mess, expressive of the public resolve to sustain him against all reactionary efforts. And most overwhelming was this day's exhibition of physical strength along the whole line of the Pope's progress from his Quirinal Palace to the Lateran, amid shouts of enthusiastic devotion, such as the unanimous heart of a whole people, long . estranged from such feelings, could alone give forth. The richest tapestries lined the pa laces on the line of procession • festoons, garlands, and silk hangings profusely ornamented the inferior dwellings, and every balcony was a focus of patriotic ebullition, as thesPon till" was borne onward in the midst of as picturesque a cortege as the imagination of this fanciful land could conjure into existence. An idea of the dresses worn by the Roman Court in this singnlar cavalcade, can be only conveyed to the English realer by referring him to the gorgeous picture at Hampton Court, of the " Field of the Cloth of Gold ;" almost all the costumes in that glowing representation being reproduced in the retinue which rode with the Pope in this splendid revival of a mediaeval ceremony. AU the judges were on horseback, as well as all the prelates, bishops, pates, the Governor of Rome, the senators , and other indescribable functionaries of a variegated and many tesselated government; men in armour, the noble guard and the Pope's standard-bearer, on his obligato mule, leading the van. Formerly the cavalcade mounted the steep ascent of the Capitol, but slice Ganganelli fell off his horse on ,getting down towards the arch of Septunius, it now enters the forum by a circuit. An immense crowd of swarthy peasants from the S thine, Volseian, and Latin districts, filled the Campo Vaccine, and rent the air with reiterated shouts on the Pope's entering the old Via Sacra, at which moment the great bell of the Capitol, which is only heard on such an occasion as the present, roaring above the voices of the mul titude, uttered its singularly deep vibrations " pealing solemnly." At the triumphal arch of Titus, some curiosity was excited, in expectation of the Jews' representatives in Rome paying homage, as usual, to the new sovereign, and craving toleration ; but the Pope's good taste dispensed with a display which only keeps alive the sense of inferiority, and difference of caste—a prelude, we hope, to ulterior measures on behalf of Israel. AU the rising ground on the Palatine hill was densely covered with spectators, but the Colosseum, divided into boxes and hung with silks, se, med to bo what the great rand is at Newmarket races. Farther on, at the church of St. Clement's, celebrated on many accounts, and now tenanted by a few Irish friars, some curiosity was ex cited in the crowd, and expressed by the Papal cavalcade, as to the meaning of a huge green banner floating from the porch, and bearing a harp uncrowned, with other heraldic puzzles. The Pope's heraldic colours are white aud orange, and such were the pervading tints of every other attempt at decoration on his passage. The caval cade ultimately 'cached its destination no doubt; for me, the crowd prevented all approach to the Lateran church ; and certainly no Roman triumph, nor mediaeval pageant could have surpassed what we witnessed to-day. To realise one part of the old classic procession, there were only want ing the Rev. Dr. Newman, Ambrose St. John, and George Talbot, to walk in the character of war captives. Britannus ,it darn:do - et Seers catenatets rim. Turning from this topic to profane news, the indefatigable Lieut. Waghorn arrived here in the night of Friday and routed up the English consul, with whom, having been closetted some hours, he started post-haste to Naples on his way to the port of Brindisi, on the Adriatic. The Pope has offered this morning, by placards on the walls, a gold medal, value 1000 dollars, to him who will present the best plan for crossing the great Apennine harrier trom Ancona to Rome. Should Waghorn and Pius IX. succeed in bringing the over land route from India to Europe into this channel, they will have done no small deed ; and it will be curious to find that the earliest engineer who laid down the line of railway with its gradients and terminus was the playful poet, g " the end of whose journey and letter was Brundusium. CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 29. The following memorandum has been sent by the Porte to the different embassies " The Sublime Porte having learned from official reports that the agricultural productions of the province of Bigha are insufficient for the population, has thought it advisable to prohibit the exportation of corn from that province. In pursuance of an established right, it is forbidden to buy or to export all sorts of grain from the ports of Cars, Belem Linnpeaque, Tchanlaq, Calei-Sultame, Onim-Cale, Chihli, and Aivadjid, till harvest time next year. That, however, this prohibition may occasion no loan to the mercantile body, it does not extend to the Cora which, up to this date, has been bought by contract. And, also, that the ships bound fur them ports should not return empty, and their owners thereby suffer loss, one month from the present date Is granted before this proscription be put into operation. You are re quested to make known to all of your nation whom it may concern, that the aforesaid measure will remain in force during the whole of the time specified. The last day of the moon of Chewal (21st Octo ber, 1846)." Though this prohibition is confined to the province of Bigha, that is to the whole of the Asiatic side of the Darda nelles, it is more than probable that the Porte will gradually extend it to other parts of the empire. Throughout the northern provinces of European Turkey the harvest has been most abundant. The quantity of corn shipped from the port of Varna is unprecedented, and the quantity of grain which still continues to pour into that town from the neighbouring districts is so great, that room cannot be found for its stowage. Ships are in great demand, and freights have risen to an enormous extent. Vessels have been chartered at a higher rate than the whole of their prime cost. Brokers have been known to make 5001. and upwards in commission on a single ship. It is this scramble for the agricultural productions of the country which naturally gives uneasiness to the Porte. The small land holders in Turkey are a simple people who never look be yond the results of the day, and trust to fate for the future. Deceived by the prospect of selling their corn at a high rate, they will dispose of it without reserve, till they find them selves at length forced to buy it hack at a still higher price, for their own personal subsistence. It is from a laudable desire to prevent such a result that the Porte hi applied the above measure to Bigha, where symptoms of scarcity pro duced by the drain on that province were already beginning to show themselves. A cry may be raised against this mea sure, but it will be the cry of the selfish, and not of the phi lanthropist. Merchants will murmur because it will con tract their means of gain, but men of humane and generous views must approve of the steps taken by the Turkish go vernment. The influence, not only of France but of Russia, seems to be in the ascendant. Since the departure of Sir Stratford Canning, even the name of England seems to be forgotten amongst the Turks, or it is only heard in the courts ofjus tice, where Maltese and lonian murderers and robbers are daily brought up for trial. The Emir Bechir, the former chief of the Lebanon, who, chiefly at the instigation of the British Ambassador, was some time ago banished from the capital, has again returned. Sir Stratford Canning had discovered that the Emir was engaged in dan gerous intrigues with French emissaries, and, therefore, pointed out to the Porte the propriety of removing him to the interior. The Turkish government at once admitted the necessity for such a measure, and banished the Emir Bechir to Vinn-Chellir. True to the old proverb, the French Ambassador and some of the ministers of the Porte, showed their mischievous playfulness whilst Sir Stratford was away, and we now have M. de Moutalembert's amiable hero living untrammelled in the midst of hisformer advisers. Russia has just obtained a fu man from the Turkish Govern ment, ordering that all the Servian youth destined for the church shall be educated in Russia! Were it necessary to prove that Reschid Pacha is nothing more than the titular chief of the Turkish Government, the foregoing Set would be sufficient for that purpose. You will remem ber that during the Sultan's late tour through the provinces, when he could listen unhindered to the advice of his faithful minister Reechid, that the intrigues of Russia in that part of the empire received a severe check. General (*abbe was sent from St. Petersburg, and the Logotheti from Constan tinople, to organise a Russian family party at Rutchuck. There the Prince/of Wallachia, Moldavia, and Servia, were, under the auspices of the envoy of the Czar, to present their homage to the Sultan. Alexander of Sere,* by the order of Reachid Pasha, remained to receive his Imperial master at Kisanliek. In the readiness with which he complied he gave a proof of his obedience ; and the style of his reception of the Sultan showed, at least, a desire to be thought attached to the person of his sovereign. On the other hand, the insolent bearing of Beliesco of Wallachia , was the cause of a peremptory order from Re sehid that that prince should instantly dismiss the numerous retinue by which ho was attended, and that ha should doff his Russian uniform, and invest himself with one suited to a vassal of the Porte ; and it was then only that he was allowed to fall into the suite of the Sultan, when he was lost amongst a crowd of boyards and officers of the seraglio. Thus wan the good and excellent plot frustrated. Russia has not forgotten this defeat, which she has since been labouring hard to repair, and the firman to which we have alluded above, is part of the fruit of her exer tions. Bedhu Khan Bey, backed by two other Kurdish chiefs, is preparing a new attack upon the Nestorians. About 3 years ago nearly the entire of the Christian tribes classed under that name were massacred by Bedhu Klian Bey and his fol lowers. Bedhu Khan Bey is the Abdel Rader of that put of Asia. His prowess and severe observance of the laws of Islamism base gained him an immense ascendancy over all the wild tribes that invest the border land of Turkey and Persia. Though the Porte wishes to prevent his committing any outrage, it is yet very far from desiring his destruction. On the contrary, it would rather attach him to its interests, that through his means the tranquillity of that part of the frontier might be secured, and as he would aL o prove a valua hleally in the case of any serious disagreement with Persia. The Nestorians are a Christian population of about 30,000, occupying the district of Hakiary, which is situated between the province of Mossoul and that of Erzeroum. They have long been a bone of contention between Catholic and Me thodist missionaries, and it was principally in consequence of the religious riots got up in the country, that they fell vic tims to the fanatical Bedhu Khan Bey. By orders from the Porte, the Paellas of leloa.wil and Erzeroum have taken measures to prevent a fresh massacre. Mar Shimaun, the exiled patriarch of the Nestorians, exiled because he had had some spiritual trafficking with the American Methodist missionaries, has fled from his residence at Mossoul, with the intentlan, it is supposed, of exciting his countrymen against his mortal enemy, Bcdhu Khan Bey. Th,s has increased the gravity of these events, and we therefore wait with im patience for the next courier from Mossoul. Bedhu Khan Bey's object in undertaking the present attack, is to render himself master of the country of the Nestorians, and to force that people to pa:: him an annual tribute His first onslaught was the effect of pious wrath at seeing the indecent squabbling of the infidels about matters of faith: his preeent expedition springs from a motive much more mundane. Great fears are entertained that the choler .I will finally reach Constan tinople. Reports from the iater.or state that it is committing dreadful ravages in Syria. It has taken exactly the 6111111 route as when it last visited Europe. THE EXPRESS, .T 1. 1 J .11. 0 3. t V y to a ctive iitie*enee 1N Whe Playa li9w , joVirew e that the e4eavows of Mt.

The good feelin between ministers _.r Aonnel h as disappeared; the PORTUGAL. By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam vessel, the Queen, Captain Weeks, which arrived yesterday evening at Southampton, we have advises from Gibraltar to the Gth, Cadiz 7th, Lisbon 10th, Oporto 11th, Vigo 12th, and Corunna 13th inst. From Oporto, which is still blockaded by the Donr.a Maria frigate, we learn that Baron Casal, with 1,000 foot and 200 horse, was at Chaves ; Se de Bandeira at Villa Real, in pursuit of him with about 2,000 men, mostly mob. The advanced guards of the armies of the Count das Antas and Marshal Sandanha, were within sight of each other, and a battle was daily expected. The supplement to the Diario do Gorerno of the Bth inst. contains a despatch from Major Schareo, attached to the column of operations to the north of the Tagus, in which he states that on the 7th inst. he fell in with and defeated a body of rebel guerillas on the road to Cintra, commanded by Ignacio de Barros, with a loss on his own part of only one man killed and five wounded. The rebel force amounted to from four to five hundred men, two hundred of whom were regularly armed; the rest had only pikes and fowl ing-pieces. The exact less of the rebels could not be ascertained. A correspondent states that Ignacio de Barros having, as he said, expended all his ammuni tion, 6,000 rounds, fled the field disguised as a pea sant, and took refuge on board the English Admiral's ship—a somewhat unlikely place fur a rebel chief to fly to. The Government, he adds, had issued orders for his being instantly shot if taken. The fol lowing is the letter of our Oporto correspondent : OPORTO Nov.ll. The Count dos Antes, President of the 'Revolution ary Junta in Oporto, who had marched to Coimbra with two columns of regular troops, consisting of the 2d, sth, and 15th regiments of the Line, part of the Municipal Guard of Oporto, 3rd Artillery, ith Cassadores, together about 2000 men, left Coimbra wilt the same force, and a number of guerillas, armed at and round Coimbra, on the Lisbon road, and by our last accounts was at Leiria. The Baron de Casal, with 1001 foot and about 200 horse, in favour of the Queen, came down to Vallocgo, about five miles from Oporto, under promise that the 3rd Infantry and 2rl Cassadores stationed at Oporto, would declare in favour on his arrival, and join him. Tots plan has, however, been frustrated, by all Casal's cor respondence having been intercepted, and the officers of those two regiments were partly removed, and partly put in prison: so, Casal not being strong enough to take the city, retreated, and by our last accounts was at Chaves (Teas os Montes.) The Viscount a' Bandeira went out from Oporto to attack him,with the greater part of regular troops and Muni cipal Guards, and about 500 volunteers of Oldveiro doe Amele, Vista Alegv..i, Aveiro, &c., and is said to have arrived at Villa Real. It is generally asserted and believed that all the province of Trestle Mentes as favourably inclined towards the Queen's party ; all the Minho province is in the hands of the revolutionary government, but the inhabitants, mostly Miguelites, take no interest in favour of any of the parties, except when forced. Of the inhabitants of Oporto at least nine-tenths are in favour of the Lisbon government, but have not got courage to move for want of a proper auide, whilst the revolutionary government has been very active and take energetic meesures. The fortifications all around Oporto are getting very strong, and the National Guard is mustering in force already, but certainly will not stand fire, even behead the walls. Notwithstanding the frigate Donna Maria being off, in order to blockade the Bar, vessels are coming in and going out pretty regularly, except on Sunday, when two Portuguese vessels, one from Rio Grande and one from Pari, were sent to Lisbon by the frigate. The l'ortu guese steamer Duque do Porto has been sent out by the Junta with sealed orders; some say, to take money to the Algarve', others to fetch troops from the Azores Islands. She can only transport 130 men at the utmost. The Spanish steamer Peninsula left on the 9th, for Vigo, with despatches of the consul. The (ilandiator is at Oporto. ANCONA.—PROPOSED NEW ROUTE TO INDIA.— A letter from Ancona, of the sth inst., has the following " Mr. Waghorn arrived in this city from Vienna the day before yesterday, and set out the following day for Rome, after having had a long interview with the English Consul here. His visit has reference to the establishment of a new route by Ancona, Lombardy, and the Splugen, for the trans mission of correspondence between England and India, the first experiment in which is to be made next month. It is said that, in order to facilitate the transport of the India mail by this route, a railway will be constructed along the southern shore of the Adriatic. The Austrian government is disposed to second all the efforts of Mr. Waghorn. It is further proposed to abolish completely the quarantine, so far u relates to all Turkey in Europe, and to Asiatic Turkey as far as Smyrna." GERMANY.—VIENNA, Nov. 7.—The ordonnance issued by the Bavarian government, imposing a duty of twenty-five per cent. on the exportation of corn, has caused an unfavourable impression in Tyrol, which imported most of its grain from Bavaria, and which enjoyed the privilege of only paying one-half of the usual duty on the importation of corn into the Austrian dominions. The Austrian govern ment has found itself, with regret, obliged to deport from its principle of not hindering the free circulation of grain, and has - placed restrictions on corn exportations. Archduke Stephen, before leaving for Prague, had a conference with Prince Metternich, which lasted three hours. BERLIN, Nov. 7.—A petition to the provincial Diet is circulating among the citizens to solicit a constitution of the States-General. The fact is important, as hitherto the citizens of Berlin paid but little heed to the question of a constitution. The inhabitants of Naumburg persist in their opposition to the government, and refuse to appoint new delegates. Nov. B.—lt is now positively asserted that the taxes due from July to September, which are usually re quired to be paid in the month of December, need not be paid on this occasion till March next year. Consider ing the present scarcity of money, this delay is certainly entitled to gratitude. We are able to state on good authority, that the punishment of the basti nado is entirely excluded from the new draught of the penal code ; it may bekecollected what opposition this punish ment met with in most of the provincial assemblies, when the draught was first laid before them, and that only two of these assemblies were in favour of retaining it. This news will therefore undoubtedly give great satisfaction. STETTIN, Nov. 4.—The government has ordered the construction of a number of gun-boats, for the defence of the port in case of war. A letter from the Maine states that the towns of Wurzburg, Bamberg, and Ratisbon, are to be declared free ports. BADEN, Nov. 11.—While the attention of the German people, and of the German press, was turned exclu sively to the affairs of Schleswig-Holstein, an event which seems worthy of serious consideration, has passed almost unnoticed. We mean the resolution of the first chamber in Baden in favour of the press. If the second chambers in Germany have hitherto petitioned for the freedom of the press, this can create no sur prise ; but is a very novel and significant occurrence that a first chamber, consisting of the moat aristocratic and con servative elements of the country, declares its opinion that :5. :1 the censorship is forbidden by the act e r tiThe 4(1 and that, on the contrary, the liberty of the p%. ab 42 considered as s an original right of th e Ger ien. i r content ourselves at present with this notic ed wegidi ingly hope that the time is not far off which will l e o . fulfilment of the promises held out is the lath artide c• act of the confederation.
