We ore bound to Europe, we make part of it. The onnexions and the sym pathies between us and it daily sequin more emisistency and force; and that wire welch now communicates the wants and the thoughts of men to one another over immeasureable distances is not more subtle and all pervading, than the unseen links by which tither sympathies and wants, moral and politiml, are pissed from mind to mind. If Europe does not follow us to the light of liberty, we shall follow it into the night of deepoti-m. Tne theories of self-isolation, fora time admits d by some of our philosophers, may be recommended for their apparent cheapness. bat these principles are not the only kind of cheap bargains that are found to be the &wrest and least durable in the end. We have wandered somewhat from the debate in an sonisty to set ourselves right on a most important *at But we should be wanting rot to mention the great importance and the great ability displayed in the last day's discussion. Mr. CoCKBURN'S was a most masterly expos,; it showed that there are still lawyers that can be statesmen. The speeches of the four leaders were equally remarkable, save that Mr. DISRALLI, 'peaking so late, could not be wort hily reported. Sir Ronnie PEEL's speech was no of the mor re markable he ever uttered on foreign policy. It was ex tremely temporate, and in nothing illiberal, perhaps, save in its tint' vote. With most of its criticisms on parts of Lord PALMERSTON'S policy we fully agree; but we thought those parts trivial or irrelevant, when taken in comparison with the =rive, the conduct, and the aim of the entire foreign policy of the ad ministration. (in the whole it adds to oar deep re gret at the aciident which has befallen a man so gifted, and see capable of still rendering eminent ser vice to his country. But the most important part of the debate appears to WI to have been Lord Jowl At:agent's plain state ment of his policy with respect to /Luria. The Bri t:sh Beet, he said, was sect to the Dardacilles to support the SULTAN, in ease Russia should have per sisted in her outrageous demands. Had Russia per sisted, said the prime minister, we were prepared to stand the risk.

Ova advantage, at least, may result from the late debate, that people in general will direct more atten tion and interest towards our foreign Militias, and that politicians in particular, seeing that the fate of parties may be mole to hinge upon them, will find it advisable to muter that pert of state affairs, 'effect upon and digest the knowledge concreted with it, and thu. VINO to the subject, not as most of them did last week, crammed for the nonce, and uttering the most inconsiwent crudities, but with something like con science and conviction, and with the information re quisite to form • judgment, not merely gathered up hastily, like pebbles from a high road, to pelt an ob noxious minister. Foreign politics have not for a long time had their due importance in parliament. Notning so plainly manifests this as the number of voters, who were actuated by views exclusively of domestic policy, and by the results likely to teems to it, and not to the general cause of liberty by the de cision about to be taken. Such results are no doubt well worthy of consideration, but for our part during the pregress of this interesting debate, we could not bat thtnk far Isle of domestic progress than of the tate of coutitutional government and popu lar progress in Europe, so much of which hung upon the violent and condemnatory overthrow of • whig foreign policy, to be followed by the installation of a policy antago . iistie th it. In the general indifference which exists u to our I foreign relations, it is a very prevalent opinion that'' that police is best which causes least expense and least troupe ; aud, caner quently, that a policy should be formed, rather conforming to the prevailing tone and principle of European govei laments than antago. nistic to them. In order to render this system perfect, we ought to have a double relay of foreign 'I ministers, one to set up when literalism was in the zenith and constitutional government in pro gress, with souther ready to supersede him whenever despotic monarchy and the law martial should have triumphed. There would be in this see-saw of par ties and altercation of power a kind of guarantee that we should, whatever happened, be en good terms with the powers uppermost ; and that influence which we bad neither the hooest7 nor the courage t a de mand and maintain as a right due to cur greatness and our justic, we at least might procure by a sate and cringing subserviency te, whatever ides, courtly or po pular, happened to predominate. Now, for our part, we do not aKroee of Lord ABERDEEN'S policy of " and conforming, and having no oprciva of OLO'A own. Arid we believe that it leads to war just as directly as the contrary extreme, which beads to nothing. We have • strong example in the Spanish marriage qii , e o a r Vro, adduced by Lord ions Rcsszu.. Had ABEIDEEN dezlatel, boldly and frankly, from the first, that Eoglud would not admit the marriage of the Queen of SPAIN with an Os&z,os, neither the event, nor the quarrel arising out of it, would have taksu place. But he faltered, and shiily-shallied, and feared to offend. And it is this which led to the brink of a serious quarrel with France. Foreign monarchs, of come prefer a - . E-gludi minisrer who will hum ble to them ; but it does not follow that either peace or %natty ere secured by such means. Vs England require., is, not a minister to bully, nor a mitt:btu to sneak, but a minister that will repre sent the sentiments of the country, ferule avow them, and act upon them, so far as justice, fairness, and wisdom perna.t. There can be no sounder prin. plethan that of con-intervention—not interfering rn other people's affairs. If every European nation would admit of, and act upon, this principle, we should have an end of differences and war. Bat, ursfortuuately, other countries will interfere, and unfortunarely the entire net work of law and trea ties, as Europe is full, not only of excuses, but irjune tions to interfere. We have guaranteed Belgium, and we have teed PortugsL The fiercest opponents • Lord g a n. a u fs aszott aver that we have guaranteed Schleswig to Denmark, and summon the foreign secretary to go to war and send ships to enforc= the guarantee. To establish non-intervention fairly and folly, we should re-model the written international law of Europe. We know of no better mode of explaining and illus trating the doctrine of non-intervention than by considering the policy of Earl Gaze's administration. That statesman laid down more formally and solemnly than any man the principle of non-interven tioo—it is, in fact, his declaration that is universally invoked. His resolve was not to in tervene himself. Perhaps his resolve was equally not to intervene (teen to prevent other interveners. But did he declare this to Europe? Far from it It is well known that nothing prevented Prussia, backed by the two eastern powers, from int nog in favour of the King of HOLLAND, but the attitude assumed by Lord GEES'S administration in support of France. That attitude went to say to the great powers neither more nor less, than that if they inter used to crush Belgium and put down France, Eng land might intervene to resist that attempt. It was this attitude of England and Lord GREY that pre vented a Europeanwar... _ _ _ These words are very simple, but, at the lame time, unmistakeable. They will go through Europe, east and west. And they will go, moreover, with a rote of the House of Commons, passed immediately afterwards, approving and backing them. Count SesseLeoDE may write es many notes, with as great an amouut of insolence, as he pleases. Here is his answer—and nee. r answer came more opportune. Our readers will have perceived in our foreign in telligence the account of an insurrection against the Turks in Bulgaria. All letters from the Danube for the hat twelvemonth have repeated that an insurree tion was in preparation, that it was the next move of Ituesia against Turkey, and that it would infrllibly break forth the instant that the Cabinet of fie. Pete rsburgh found a moment favourable. That moment It did find, or thought it Lund, in the successful explosion of the conspiracy in Albers, in Paris, and in L'indon—a conspiracy that was to oust Lord PALNEtterox, and to neutralise his power. We look upon this insurrection in Bulgaria to he am much a par. of the plot, as the false report conveyed by the Times of Baron Gaos having told Mr. Wvsa of the coming conven'ioo, and of Mr. WYSE having slighted his communication. All parte of this plot hung well together, and certainly it was most ingeniously contrived to hurt and hams liate this caurory. Tile humiliation was indeed de- , trounced in the debate, as having &reed the Eogliii government to accept the French Conditions, which it had an recently rparned. If humil:ation there was. however, who is to blame for it but the House of Lords, which sought to place Mi.. country at the foot of the foregoer, and which fortunately only partially succeeded? But whilst thus affirming the existence and ad miring the ingenuity of the plot, we must protest against its being ever supplied that such men as Sir ROBERT PEEL or Mr. COBDEN were privy to it. No on. breathes such insinuation save themselves in re pelling it. It was almost altogether a f 'reign plot, eagerly concocted and abetted by foreign po•entates and courts, state-men and stateswomen. But the men of station and eminence in this country were more its dupes than its sccomplices, and a great number its unconscious accomplices; its true agents in this country being so subaltern, that we doubt if it will ever cansist with the dignity of history to name them. WANT of opus has prevented us hitherto from no ticing the somewhat irregular, though not uninstrue tivediscuseion, which took place some nights azo in the House of Peers, on the scheme for abolishing the local goveromeut of Ireland. The bill for that pur pose is still in the other house of parlia ment, and has not as yet got even into com mittee there. Nevertheless, their lordships hav e , ' in the exercise of their inscrutable wisdom, seen fit to anticipate the contingency of its eventu ally reaching their chamber; and in the plenitude of their privileges have been busily engaged in debating details about none of which they p. oleos to be, or in point of fact can possibly be, certain. We can hardly say, however, that we regret in the present case this erratic method of proceeding. Whatever its general inconveniences may be, the result in the ectual cue before us will un doubtedly be to save the public time, by showing ministers the hopelessness of pressing the measure further this session. We have arrived at the Ist of July. A vast quantity of urgent busi ness still remains undasposed of. The many wbo vote after midnight oa questions they have sot beard debated, and the few who are wont to debate questions for the most part without an audience, are alike weary and impatient of their flee mouths' attendance on the legislature. The day of sessional judgment approaches, and a numerous troop of unrealised projects of law await their inevit• able doom. Was, howe4r, this policy of Lord ORLY a strict and rigid following out of the principle of non-in tervention? Mr. COBDEN lays it down sa a rule, that we must not intervene in any case ; and in order to prevent other powers from intervening to crash a liberal party, for example, or a constkutiou, we have no other means at our disposal than to declare that we will not intervene. By thus setting other powers a good example, he says, we will more effectually prevent their intervening than by any other mode. Now, with unfeigned respect for Mr. COBDEN'S general principles and opinions, we can not admit the sense or wisdom of such a polidial view. We would go his length so far, perhaps, se to say, that we should rarely, if ever, interfere. But we should strongly recommend a minister not to make too open and positive a declaration of such intention. Nothing preserves Turkey from Russia, or Belgium from France, or Portugal from Spain, or indeed the entire south and west of Europe from the powers of the north and east, but the belief that in certain cases of wrong, of aggres- sion, of ambition, or tyrannical encroachment, the spirit and the power of England would be moved to interfere. Now, what we Day is, don't remove that salutary fear, which is one of the great safeguards of the freedom and independence of the nations of Europe. We should be delighted to see Mr. Con ned and Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH ministers.. And we have no doubt the good they would work would be very great. But we should strongly recommend them not to rise up on the first day of their hold of office, and declare that in no cue would they interfere or intercede in the afire of Europe, and in no ease would they entertain the idea or the possibility of war. We should tally approve of such intender; but the wisdom of declaring them we doubt. Fr we feel convinced that such a declaration from any English ministry would have the effect of letting loose the passions of conquest and ambition, whisk prevail in the breast of the most barbarous part of Europe, and with them would go forth unchecked the incalculable evils of rapine and of war. We are, indeed, confident that the time will come, and that at no remote period, when the nations of Europe will have made such progress in the meioses sad habits of self-government and the arts of poem that no man will be in fear from the ambi tion of Kings or the restlessness of peoples: and when a thought, much less a polio, of intervention, will be as idle and lee pertinent as it would be hazardous. But that time has not yet come. fart of Europe is still gowned by the capricious will of autocrats, or by In such a state of affairs and feelings it is not to be expected that the government should wientonty waste any portion of the short stock of time and attention that is left them, in further controversy regarding the viceroyalty of Ireland. It is plain that many tedious nights mast be devoted thereto, if the bill should be caged through committee. The widest difference, of sentiment are known to prevail es to the most essential features of the plan. On a matter involving questions so comprehensive and important to the sister country, it is but natural to expect that its representatives will feel called on to insist upon minute and searching investigation. And when beyond all this is discerned the probability of a brisk and resolute opposition in the House of Lords, the courage of the most obstinate doctrinaire may well be damped, and his zeal for centralisation forgiven if it seems to cool. On the motion of the Marquis of LONDONDERRY the peers on Thursday last occupied themelves with discussing the aims and tendencies of this most un lucky and ill-conceived measure. Of the speech of the mover, as of those uttered by some of his sup porters, it is not oar purpose to say much. But the *llion!' of the Duke of WELLINGTON and of Eat FITZWILLIAM deserve greater c maideration. As in dicating the sentiments of two important sections, they are of equal interest and importance. The vete ran head of the tory, or physical force, meet of the aristocracy, naturally enough laid most stress on the obvious e ff ects the bill would have upon the strength and stability of the executive in Ireland. The duke well knows how little disposi tion there is among his section of the dominant class on either side of the Channel to forego the sys tem they have hitherto steadily pursued. He knows well and calculates shrewdly upon the Inevitable dangers such a determination entails; and in this spirit he asks bluntly—wto is the commander of the garrison to confer with, and from whom is he to re ceive orders in caw of exigency, as the highest civil authority in the realm P This is a grave question; too grave to be mingled, as it unfortunately was, with the ribaldry andfanfarosnek in which his Once thought proper to indulge about lord mayors of Dublin and other civic functionaries.

Lord Frrzwlti.reit, the best and ablest represen tative of the liberal aristocracy, connected by property with Ireland, came to the same moult by a different path. He had no objection to the change of title if that were deemed desirable ; and he appears to have expressed the opinion so forcibly urged by those who resisted the second reading in the Gm- Meta, that the pre/eves in parliament of the head of the Irish administration would be a very great im provement.

FRANCE. PARIS, BATIIRDAT. Nothing is talked about but the severe check which the ministers received yesterday by the defeat of their intention to brirg forward the law of mayors before the recess. The influence of the government over the municipalities is strenuously restated by the legitimists, who uphold the franchises of the com munes, not from any love to freedom, but because they feel that here hes the stronghold of their own power. It was in accordance with this9pinion that the legitimist reporter of the committee, M. Laboulie, drew up a report so unfavourable to the govern ment's bill. The union which prevails on this subject throughout all shades of the legitimist party was evinced yesterday with remarkable clearnees and it became evident that by a coalition with the Left they could at say moment defeat the government. This has been often apprehended but seldom shown in 9J striking a manner. Hence the conserva tives, as they are called, or the party of Thiere, ac knowledge the necessity of modifying the ministry in a way which may prevent such a coalition, by giving a seat in the cabinet to some marked legi timist like de Vatimesnil. The rest of the debate was chiefly occupied with discussing the motion of M. de St. Priest for the more rigorous re pression of usury. There is a law in force on this matter which is continually evaded, principally on account of the rigorous penalties enacted : but it does not provide severer punishment for repetitions of the crime. The motion of M. de St. Priest goes to fill this breach. But it is thought on all hands that it will only aggravate the evil instead of abating it, so that although no vote was come to yesterday, it is certain of being thrown out. M. Prosper de ChaseeloupLaubat had his report on the press law in his hand, and was about to mount the tribune to present it, when the blow dealt to the go vernment on the law of mayors, produced such an agitation in the Chamber, that he thought the moment inopportune fur presenting a new law to which the legitimists are equally opposed, and retired. leaving Venter Hugo and a host et other orators who came up to get themselves inscribed to speak against the law, baulked of their intention. At a meeting of the legi timists in their club of the Hue de ltivoli, it has been determined to oppose a strenuous resistance to the , press law. The four bishops chosen to sit in the Superior Council of Public Instruction, in virtue of the law on moondary te:ching, are the Abbe Parisi., B shop of Laegres ; the Abbe Morlot, Archb sop °ATOM'S; the Abbe Dupsnloup, Bishop of Orleans; nod the Abu. Clausen, Archbishop of Rheims. Yesterday, a valuable report by:M. Leverrier, on admitting the public to correspond by miens of the electric telegraph, was distributed to the Assembly. The committee recommends the adoption of the bill. They propose the following tariff : For a d spa•ch of one to twenty words a fixed charge of 311, and, in addition, 12c. for every myriamiitre (rather more than mix miles English); above twenty words, the charge to increase one-fourth for every ten words. The charge is to be augmented one-half for . . d;ringthe night. Several of the journals state - that the prorogation of the National Assembly will positively take place en the 13th of August. Preparations are making at the palace of Saint Cloud for the reception of the President of the Re public, who intends making it his summer residence. The Amidu Petsple was yesterday seized at the Poet-office and at its offices, fur an article iutitled " Assassins et Atheer," sad proceedings have been directed to be taken against the responsiMe editor, for exciting hatred amongst citizens, and provoking to the crime of ruwassination. The Conseil d'Etat has rejected the ministerial pro position to adopt a protection of IU. per 100 kilo grammes in favour of native aad colonial sugar, bat bas agreed to 13f. 500. It has rejected the proposi tion to allow the executive power to lower the duty without recurring to the law by 2f. 50m But the Conseil d'Etat has agreed to a bounty for three years in favour of colonial sugars. The bankers of Paris, at a numerous meeting, have adopted the resolution proposed by M. Felix Verres, i from the 24th of this mouth forward, not to pay or admit into their portfolios any bills not stamped. They will therefore return to their oorrespondebbs all commercial effects which do not comply with this rule, imposed by the late stamp law. SUNDAY ETININO. M. Chasseloup-laubat presented yesterday to the Assembly the report of the committee on the press law. The amendments made by the committee in the government's bill greatly mitigate the severity of the measure. The committee rejects the proposed aug mentation of the caution money to 513,0001, retaining for Paris and the zone of the capital the present amount of 24,000 f. For other parts of France 6,000 f. is the amount of caution money demanded for de partments including towns of 30,000 souls, and 3,6001. for the other departments. The half only is exacted for journals which appear only twins during the week. The principle of a postage stamp is adopted, the amount of which is fixed at six centimes for the newspapers of Paris and the Baulk% and at two cen times for the rest of France. The SiFele was seised yesterday, in consequence of an article alluding to the old affmr of M. Trate, and drawing parallels which reflected on the government. The Siede is to be prosecaud for exciting to hatred of the authorities. A diplomatic dinner has been give at the Elysee in honour of the reconciliation of the French and English cabinets, at which Lord Normanby and General Lahitte were present. The vote by which the House of Commons huvin dioated the honour of the British legislature was known in Perim yesterday afternoon, by means of a telegraphic despatob, received by the government from the French charge d'athaires in London. This great event, by which the tide or reaction throughout Europe will be staid, was no sooner known in the Assemblo than • general bust indicated that some remarkable novelty had been launched into the legislative hive. It became immediately the nucleus of speculation and the theme of talk ; and in vain the oontending opinions of MM. St. Beuve, Bt. Priest, and Pierre Leroux upon the subject of usury clamoured to be heard. It was observed on all bands as a singular coincidence that the number 46 of the majority in favour of Mr. Roebuck's motion was identical with the amount of votes by which the French ministry was saved from dissolution on the cabinet question of the dotation. The detest of the government on the proposal to bring forward the law of mayors has given rise to Polemics of a bitter and violent character between the organs of the legitinaisfs and those of the Elyse.. M. Baroohe expressed himself with great vehemence on the occasion, saying that the legitimists wanted war with the government, and should have it to their heart's content.

The the men of the Centre find themselves sentiattally redeem, to the alternative of yielding to the intolerable pretensions of the legitimists in separating from the Oyu% or of favourlog the unressocable hopes al theßonspartists. _ . . In the meantime many are of opinion that the ministers pot themselves in the way of this • defeat, purposely to pick a quarrel with the Assembly, and to prove to the country that the jealousy of factions in the legislature is such as to cripple the exertions of the executive fur the suppression of revolutionary ti ndencies in the provinces. The language of the Die Pecembre is, that by refusing the Government the power of turning out the democratic mayors, the Assembly makes all order impossible. Tne question is one between the advocates of a strict system of centralisation on the one hand, and of municipal independence on the other, the legiti mists ranging themselves, fcr obvious reasons, on the side of the latter. Nearly connected with this question is the bill for granting extraor dinary powers to the councils-general in case of in surrectioo. Tho club of the Rue de Itivoli are going to hold a meeting on this subject on Tuesday. Greet objections are entertained by several against the ten dency of M. Mole's repot t, to put a dictatorial power into the hands of the military authcrities in the case of disturbance. MM. de Nlontigny and de Riancey are to move an amendment consenting to give the military commander the power of declining the state of siege in concert with the prefect of the department, and provided the council-general be called immediately to deliberate on the question. M. Baroche made in the committee a remark which is much commented upon: " What do you call a grave event, such as to jnstify the extraordinary meeting t f the councils. general ; would you consider a conflict between the President and the Assembly such a grave event ?" MM. de Larcy, Chapot, Saint Priest, and other representatives, have brought up the following pro petition to the Assembly : Fur the purpoes—l. Of protecting the financial rad com mercial lawns% of France, menaced by the d.lay in the execution of the important line from Paris to the 'godlier , 2. To open as promptly as pooible, and before the winter, some great public works, which, while contributing to the future prosperity of the country, shall secure work to the laborious cisme, They propose to the National Assembly to mute a special committee of 15 members, charged to oonsider and prepare the w►ys and means the most fit to insure the immediate execution of the railway from Paris to Avignon, which committee shall concur with the committee ou the budget as to the financial arrangem ata necessary to raise the funds for the execution of the work.. A meeting was arranged for yesterday morning between two representatives of opposite politics, MM. Clary and Valentin, in consequence of an uncivil interjection of the former on the occasion of M. Valentin's severe treatment at the hands of the presi dent in the sitting of Thursday. The police having got wind of the affair prevented the encounter, which is thus postponed. The vote which took place on Friday at tl.e National Assembly as to the law on the mayors has caused a decline, the inevitable consequence of any apparent division in the majority. The Five per Cents., which closed on Friday in the ConHese at 94.80, fell in the evening at the Passage de l'Opera to 9145, closing at 91.30. To-day the fall has continued, the Five per Cents. closing at 94fr. loc., and the Three per Cents. at .58 r. 35:. It is true that a great many primes were abandoned, and that some forced cafes occurred in consequence, which would in some measure explain the decline.

GERMANY. BERLIN, Jess 28. The Provisional College of Princes for the Bifurt Union meets regularly. In the last sitting the vacan cies in the Federal Comet of Arbitration were filled up. The Oldenburg reply to the Hanoverian note was read. It contains a refusal to enter into the Hanoverian scheme for creating a North German Customs Union. The Frankfort Assembly seems likely to dissolve itself, in consequence of disunion. The treaty of commerce with Belgium will most probably not be renewed. Count Rernatorff has arrived from Vienna. Count Meyendorff is about to proceed thither as Russian ambassador, to replace Count Modem. DENMARK. We have advice. from Copenhagen to the 26th ult. The secret sitting of the Reichstag took place on t`se 24th. The promised 'ministerial communication was made with respect to the present rsition of the no gotiations with Germany and the Duchies, and the future plans at the government. The nature of the communication appeers . to be, that the Danish coves n went has forwarded its ultimatum to Berlin, re quiring either a separate peace with Prussia, or to put in force the first of the secret articles appended to the armistice of July, 1849. The duchies are then to be subjected by force of arms, if n ; and, on paws being restored, the King of Denmark will appoint an equal number of Danes, Sohleswigers, and Holateiners, to draw up a plan for the final adjustment of the relations of the Duchies to Denmark. The ministry are said to have added, that the have been acting until now with the advice and support of Russia and England. A long and v i o l en t debate is stated to have ensued. The plane of the ministry and their previous conduct were violently assailed by members of the Right and Left, but terminated without any decision being come to. Another secret sitting was to take plat* on the 28th inst., when an interpellation was to be made by Christensen, with the view of obtaining further ex planations from the ministry. Some expectations ap pear to be entertained that the Reichstag will be diosolved. The ministry are very severely blamed fur having broken off the direct negotiations with the men of confidence from the Duchies. RUSSIA. Reports are in circulatioa, both in Berlin and Visona, that lie Emperors of Ramie intends, on the let of December next, taabdieste in favour of his son, the Matadi , / Orand Prirce Alexander Niro lagewiterb: The motives of this resolution are said to he a desire to retire from the fatigue of govern ment, and the recollection of the old superstition that no Russian emperor can ever govern more than 25 years. A variety of particulars are added, which would be interesting if the report were known to be true. GREECE. (By Electric Telegraph.) ATHENS, Juss 19. There are reports of a ministerial crisis. The jour nal Petrie has been emanated. New and more lever* preen-lawn are expected. The treaty of trade with Ramis has been promulgated. THE LEVANT. By the Levant mail we have received Consttnti nople journals to the 14. h June inclusively. The c .n- Min nothing of political intern'. The Ammo: de Constantinople gives the folio% log account of the ex cursion of the Sultan : The &iliac, after parte" the night of the 2nd off lemnoe, on board the steamer Tait, proceeded towards to Isle of Candle. On the 4th the Suaaa &relied at Penes, wilt re he was received with the most etthusiastic demonstrations of joy . ty the inhabitants, the air resounding with cri. a of "Long live the Sultan, our well. beloved sovereign." His ittsjesty was much affected at this tint err expression ut welcome, and shortly after admits. d tte visit of the primates and the principil inhabi tants of the town, whom he received in the most affable 'tanner. The Sultan remained at Canea two der, during which the whole town constantly testified to his Ma , jeety sentiments of the greatest submission and gratitud, fur the intentions and benefits of his Imperial Government. Oo the third day the Sultan paid a visit to the country-house of the CLivernoi-General of the Wand, Houstsfa Pacha, so bn sour which the latter well merited by the manner in which he has governed the island for many yeah. The Sultan lett Canes, on the 7th, for Sonde, where be attended mosque. He efterwerds went owarde Reties., and the city of C.oatia. Frem Candle the Sultan will proceed to Chin, and thence r - turn to his capital in the middle of next week. At all the places he has visited the Sultan has left marks of his imperial munificence to all the public establishments, and to the people the assurance of his paternal solicitude. MALTA, Juin 22. On the 13tb, 14th, 15th and 16th we had most singular weather. The wind blew fresh from the N.E., accompanied with rain and thunder. On the 151 b it was so cord after sunset as to remind one more of Decemb.ur weather than the month of June. The effects of this sudden and air gular change in the atmosphere soon showed itself, in the shap3 of seve ral attacks of cholera, sporadic the Maltese doctors called it, whilst the English medical& deeded that it wu no cholera at all, but very rapid dysentery. All I can sly is, that if not cholera, it wu very much ltke it, and carried off its vicime quite as rapidly. On the 15th and 16th several persons at Florian were attacked with cholera symptoms, five of whom died in a very shirt time. A soldier of the Malta Fen-i cibles was also attacked on the 16.1 i, taken to tie!, hospital, and died in a few hours. Attacks of dysen tery also occurred on board of several of the ships of ear in the harbour, evidently occasioned by the eat ing of unripe fruits, so plentiful at this season of the year; the admiral in conat (pence stopped the men's leave, and gave orders that co fruit whatever should be admitted on board any of the vessels. Two merchant vessels came in to-day from Tunis, with ninety-nine passengi n. A Turkish frigate c ime in at eight this evening from Tuner, crowded with passengers, some say as many as three hundred. The cholera is making dreadful ravages there; the cite is deserted,the•re are no dr e'ors ar d e o medic'ne, a me say notan ounce of calomel in the place. Tne siten.- tion of the inhabitants is described as truly awful. The American consul and family came here this nintrn leg in an English schooner. All 'II • vessels are in quarantine. A board of health will sit ta-mmvic, when I shall obtain full particulars. Business it , Malta is completely paralysed ; nothing occupies men's minds but the contiuu•d arrivals from Tunis, and the disease now prevalent here. Ice squadron is perfectly healthy, but are in readiness fir a start should any sickens break out. The crews are still kept on b 'Lard. 1 thick it very probable that the Medina will undergo a score quarantine at :Mar seilles. Her Majesty's ship' Ganges came in on the 16th clueing the N. 1.1 Rile, in beautiful style, and took up her monings. On the lith, the admiral held* coun cil of all the captains in the fleet, respecting the rumoured existence of the cholera in Malta. It was decid. d to keep the crews on board, and prepare to put to sea immediately its existence was verified. There is a report abroad that the governor. Mr. More O'Ferrall, willlesve for England via Mars:tiles in the steamer of 24th. Greece has put Malta in quarantine, and so, I am also afraid, has Alexandria. The French steamer came in yesterday from CAl stantinvle. Smyrna, and Athens. The Sultan, after leaving Constantinople, went to Crete; on the 4th he arrived at Cenea; from thence be went to Suds, where he was most enthusiastically received. From Suda his Majtsty went to Caudle, where the Governor.gereral, Mustafa Pacha, had made great preparations for his reception. After seeing Cecilia the Sultan went to Rhodes, whence he despatched a letter to Smyrna stat;ng that after visiting Cus and Seto he would visit S:nyrns. Ile has been every where received most cordially, and this visit will uu doubt be of immense advantage to the Ottoman government. - The rebellion in Bosnia is quelled, and many of the chief leeders are on their way to Constantinople to ask fur pardon. One of the Sultanas, 'Mehl Faban, died, after a short ilium, and was buried with great Pom Letters from Smyrna mention that several slight shocks of an earthquake have been again felt. Athens letters have nothing new. The municipal elections are going on, and so is the old system of bribery and intimidation. Letters from Naples mention that the King of Naples has admitted the principle of the claims for indemnity to British subjects for losses during the bombardment of Messina and Catania, and that per sons are to be appointed to ascertain their amount. On the occasion of the King's birthday he released • hundred prisoners who bad been guilty of murder, theft, military insubordina'ion, &0., but not one of the thousand now contieeil in his dungeons for political offences. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. We have received Cape Town journals to May IS, and those from Grahams Town to May 11, both in clusive. The report of the commissioners appointed to Fs amine into the claims of the sufferers by the late Kafir war has been rendered to the government, and the commission itself dissolved. The report is a long and elaborate document. It sets forth the distressing na ture and large amount of losses endured by the fron tier settlers in this war ; and make, apparent the impossibility of affording full compensation for such enormous losses. The claims preferred to the hard amounted to no less than 323,5921. From this amount there was deducted the sum of 24,174 L, on account of captured cattle distributed to the claimants; and the further sum of 93,41ti1. for claims disallowed on various accounts, although the intrinsic justice of some of them is admitted. l'here still remains 406,002/., for which the commission consider that the claimants are entitled to compensa tion; and even this, as they show clearly enough, forms but a portion, and perhaps not the largest por tion, of the losses suffered by the inhabitants of the frontier districts. The commission propose, in accord ance with what were understood to be his ezellency's views, and also those of the colonial minister, that the sufferers shall be indemnified, u far as prac ticable, from the proceeds of the land sales in the !et tory conquered from the Kafiri. They propose that ' certificates shall be issued to the several claimants, and shall be available, under proper conditions, in the purchase of these lands, and fur no other purpose The answer to this proposal is sot favourable. The Hoard are reminded that there are other and preferent demands upon the forfated territory, which must be first satisfied. These demands are: " the payment of the civil and judicial administration of the new divisions, thu maintenance of military vills,:re, the estahAshment and maintenance of a Iro•itter militia and Kafir police, and a fair proportion of the other permanent espens ea of i-,:7-..,_.'
