GOVRINNIPI have taken the plunge. The Out claws of the EICH6QIIIIII has intimated to the members of the Bunk Richanp, through the medium of the Bank of England, that the Pint= and hint ing, will be reedy ea Monday next to see any gentle men who are desirous of contracting for a loan for the service of the present year; and that they will this inform them what amount will be required, end will settle the preliminary arrangements. There ma be no doubt that in adopting this resolution Goverement have met the wishes of the great body of the public. Much, no doubt, will depend span the teems on which the loan is to be raised ; but the pablie feel that industrial enterprise, and ossonstelal operations in general, will be lees die. torbed by raising a loan, than by increasing taxation to seek an amount as would render it possible to delay the expenditure of the year by the revenue 'stated within the year. There will be lea danger of labourers being thrown out of employment. But the anneenoment of the intended loan is welcomed Wither and higher reasons. It is understood to be tun temoant to a declaration on the part of Govern ment that they have abandoned—if ever they enter tained—all ides of patching up a premature and pre mises peace ; and that they are alive to the impor t's's, of 'saying oa the war with vigour, and oa a seals essamensurate to the magnitude of the interests st Make.

Material welfare, the sassessfel cultivation of art, mienos, and literature, seri the asesudaney of the law, are great blessings fa a nation. But of infinitely more importance than ail of them is civil liberty, the only stock upon which they sea be permanently engrafted. For the sake of the Mamma himself—endowed as he is with many admirable qualities—we regret the relation of anta gonism in whisk he has placed himself to the sup porters of Parliamentary government. The French na da hes &Maimed to that grade of moral and intellectual development in whisk a free press and popular repre sentative institutions become a necessity of existence fur a people.

It is not easy— especially foe kweiguere—to see how be is to extri cate himself from the false position he has taken up. Bat no me who bows France and Freedmen can doubt that the permanent occupation of the French throne can only be oscura to his family by large con cessions to the spirit of the age. That these concise sins will require to be made cautiously and gradually may be admitted, but made they mast be if the autho rity of his family is to be rendered secure, and France spared the misery and horror of new esulatims.

The best service that Bog. lishmen can render him is frankly, though respectfully, to express their real sentiments on the subjects now adverted to. Ho will meet with many during hie visit, who will address him in more honied secants ; but, if m um has not blinded him, his own innate sagacity and dear-bought experience mast have taught him how little courtly flatterers are to be trusted. Many will bow low to him, and affect to be gratified by Ids notice who hold very different language in their pl eats emeiliabeloo. It would edify him could he learn how the prospect of his visit has been canvassed in certain exclusive circles—what devices have been re sorted to for the purpose of deterring him from paying it. When he elevated the EMPRESS to a share of his Throne—the witted and most genial step he has taken since he assumed the purple—he boldly declared himself a parvenu.

It is not often that the Sam treats us in this manner, but the Globe systematically takes from us, without acknowledgment, to nearly the same extent. Now if we are thus pirated under the existing law, what are we to look for when we are exposed to the tender mortise of an augmented number of competitors equally unscrupulous?

Tllll national flat bas gone forth, and a majority Of the House of Commons has confirmed it: Waa l/meth there shall be perfect fres trade in newspapers. It is in vain for the most reluctant to straggle against the degree. If the Newspaper Stamp Bill is post poned this year, it will be carried next. The delay an only injure newspapers by introducing unosr tainty into the operations of the trade while it lasts. It is therefore with regret that we see some of our pro fessionel brethren eagerly pressing small modifications of the bill, which, however well and honestly in tended, can only complicate the measure, and render the application of free-trade principles to newspaper spesalations less complete. We cannot but think that our friends would act more wisely by frankly accepting the application of free-trade principles to our profession, and resting satisfied with ensuring that the measure be made as simple and intelligible as possible. Let es all—existing newspapers and newsps -_ in fair Wider the new law. _ Under it any man may, free from stamp or stamp duties, publish a newspaper, or serial more or less approximating to the character of a newspaper. But if he desires bo obtain postal privileges, he must register his publication, sod have that part of hie impression which is to be transmitted by poet stamped. In other words, if he do not employ the Poet -ogles be will have nothing to pay to Govern ment ; if he do, he must pay the Post-Aloe for the service he receives. This is quite fair. For our own put, we are ready to accept of the postal tariff proposed by Government as a rough but pretty near approximation to a fair payment for the strokes we expect to have rendered as by the Post. Aloe. We confess that a graduated scale--charging less foe small and more for large papers—would be to our apprehension more consonant with exact justice. Bat rather than endanger the speedy passing of the bill, we are °outset to waive this objeetion. But as seine qua non of our acceptance of the pro *did newspaper stamp law, we demand esomity for our right of property in what we publish.

Pala, FRIDAY BTINUIG. I sea informed that, in misplianse with the special request of the Emperor ui Austria, M. Drouyn de Lhay. will remain at.

APRIL 13.—The dimension on the Third Point will not ecustuenos till next week, by whieh time the Rusin Plenipotentiaries will have received their new instructions." . General Mellinet, the officer second in command of the Imperial Gaud, has left for the Beat to-day. General Regnault de IR. Jean d'Anply, the com mander-in-chief of that force, will accompany the Emperor to London. I am told that Queen Victoria will not come to Paris at the opening of the Exhibition, but that she has promised to pay the Emperor a visit in September. With regard to the period at which the Exhibition will open, many conflicting statements have been made of late, it having been repeatedly asserted that the Emperor was determined to inaugurate the Palace of Industry at 12 o'clock precisely on the day originally fixed (May 1), and, on the other hand, the manifest impossibility of completing all the sup plementary buildings by that time, has countenanced the rumours that a postponement would take place. A report is current to-day by which these two stories would be reconciled. It is said that the Emperor will formally open the Exhibition on May 1, but that it will be closed the next day, to re-open on May 21. In connexion with this reported arrangement, it is said that his Majesty will leave Paris for the Crimea on May 10. The Bourse was very heavy. A further fall of 1 per cent. in Consols exercised an influence, notwithstand ing the explanation that the fall was to be attributed to the forthcoming loan. The Rents fell 25c., closing at 691 r. 350. Bank of France fell sfr., the monthly returns, although showing no marked variation under any head, proving that business is stagnant. Rail ways were calm. Lyons, Grand Central, and Orleans were firm. Orleans rose 10fr. In other lines quota tions varied but little. The appeal of Mdlle. Dondet against the judgment of the Tribunal of Correctional Police, sentencing her to two years' imprisonment for cruelty to Dr. Mars den's children, came on this morning before the Im perial Court. In all probability the case has been adjourned to the 24th instant. M. Bailer will de fend the accused on this occasion, instead of her former counsel, M. Nogent St. Lau rens. MR. RFZIDEL, C.E.-ENGINEERING OPERA. TIONS IN AND AROUND HAMBURG. HAMBURG, Aram 10. I have to-day to report the arrival of the celebrated civil engineer, Mr. J. M. Bendel, from England, whose visit is one of the greatest importance for the future weal or woe of the commerce of Hamburg. For many years the navigable channel between this port and the mouth of the Elbe has been gradually growing narrower and shallower every year, until It threatens to preclude altogether the arrival of loaded vessels. As it is, a bar or sand-bank has been formed at Schulau, about ten miles down the river, which has not more than 14 feet water on it at high tide, and from three-quarters flood to a quarter ebb will not admit any large sea-going vessels to cross it at ali. This impediment to the navigation is very severely felt, for the vessels must drop their anchor and wait for the rise of the tide, which is of course attended with great delay, expense, and even danger, if it should come on to blow hard, and the ships dragged their anchors, for the channel there is very narrow. And not only that, but all the larger class of vessels, such as East India and Chinamen, emigrant ships, &0., are obliged to drop down the river below the bar whet loaded up to 14 feet, to take in there the rest of their cargo sent down after them in lifiers, and on arriving from abroad to discharge into • hters till their draught of water does not erased 14 t. Our authorities are fully aware of all these draw 'backs to our navigation, and have for some years had a steam dredging machine at work, to prevent, at least, the channel from becoming more choked up, and thus to neutralise the action of the current in de. l positing sand at this particular spot. Hamburg is entirely left in this respect to her own resources, for neither Hanover nor Denmark are inclined to stir an inch or spend a farthing in the improvement of the navigation of the river. On the contrary, they would be delighted to see the trade of Hamburg ruined, particularly Denmark, which would then attract all the trade to the Baltic provinces and in airier of Germany to the Sound, whilst Hanover would then find a plausible pretext for executing her losteherished plan of making a navigable ship canal from Stade up to Hamburg direct, so u to evade altogether having to pass by Hamburg. litany long years have been passed in discussing I i the steps to be taken in this emergency, and all sorts of plans have been made to overcome the dif- I flculties, but without leading to any . result. Com missions have been formed, and foreign and nett,* hydraulic engineers been consulted, but their repot', and recommendations are so widely at variance, that our many-headed authorities, divided amongst thew selves, and secretly favouring this or that plan, bawl ciaS never been able to decide on what to do. Am I the proposals made, those sent in respectively 1 Mr. Lindley, and the Hamburg inspector of hydra works, Mr. Hfibbe, have excited the greatest appro bation ; but as they both had their supporters, no final decision has been arrived at. Under there oir- oumstanoes, it was proposed to take the professional advice of Mr. RendeL All the different plans and projects were sent over to him for his inspection and examination, and he has now oome over himself to examine the channel and the state of the navigation with his own eyes before giving in his final decision as to the plan he would recommend for adoption. i There s also another project of equal importance that will be submitted to Mr. Randal for his advice. Your readers will have still fresh in their recollec tion the doleful accounts of the damage done to this city from the frightful inundations with which this neighbourhood was visited last New Year's-day, and which it was my unpleasant duty to report to the Daily News. These inundations have occurred more or less for centuries. As soon as they take place a great cry is raised of the necessity of taking steps to prevent their recurrence in future, and to allow the inhabitants of the cellar and basement stories of the houses in the lower parts of the city to sleep quietly in their beds, without the feu of being aroused from their peaceful slumbers by the signal guns, to save their lives and property from being lost by the sudden rush of waters. But as soon as the danger is past the cry cease*, and no one thinks any more about it. To remedy this unpleaeing state of things many . projects have been started for guarding the city vaunt similar misfortunes in future by build ing kola and massive embankments on the river side; but all these plans were considered impracti cable, se they would interfere with the inland navi gation, for one-half of Hamburg is as much iota:- seated by canals as Veaioe or Amsterdam, and these canals are the great highways of our commerce in enabling our merchants to bring their goods and merchandise at a trifling expense, in flat-bottomed lighters, from the ships in the harbour to their own warehouses. It is, however, to be hoped that some mode can be discovered in these days of scientific ittventions, by which on one band to guard the city in future from such disasters as those to which we are now daily exposed, and which did so much havoc on life and property only three months ago ; and on the other by the judicious application of dock gates in the right place, and of the proper height and force to allow the free and uninterrupted intercourse be tween the canals and the port. It is reserved for the genius of a Bendel to overcome all the engineering and other technical difficulties of the case; and the reputation he enjoys in England is security to us for hi s p o wer o f mastering ail the obstructions in his way. • GERMAN EMIGRANTS TO AMERICA. THE HAGUE, Aram 11. The Netherlands Chamber of Commerce sad Manufactures have prepared an address to the States- General, praying the legislature to embody a series of regulations for the improvement of the condition of em!grants while staying on transits' in Rolland. It is indeed disgraceful to the authorities that this matter his not been attended to ere this. As soon u the Rhine boats arrive their emigrant passenger; are pounced upon by a set of touters, the most Wee. Latins cheats in existence, who, knowing the inability of their poor victims—" unfriended and nokoown"— to make any complaints in quarters wher e th ey can be redreseed, dreg them to lodgings in pothouses, swarming with vermin sad filth, and then t a k e ad. vantage of the confidence placed in them on account of their being able to stammer a few words of the language of the fatherland, to rob them o f their little cash, and to pilfer their articles of clothing, ending but too frequently b 7 insulting them or ill treating them for their simplicity. In coneequate of these villanous practices the Germac paper s ma . taro from time to time official intimations to intending emigrant', that unless they have particular partiality for being swindled and cajoled, and at last sent on board flamed and penniless, to be landed as beggar. fa America, they must not proceed via Holland. This fey indeed, a grave charge to be made officially, win s that it is so generalised that it might be concluded that this cruel and disreputable system, or rather total want of system, exists under the auspices of the State, sines it is evidently the duty of the State to see that each things are rectified ; and with States, u with i n . dividuals, duties omitted are sins committed. But this elate of things is is impolitic as disgraceful. So fa r ae locality is concerned Holland is, to a large majority of emigrants, the most convenient for embarking. But Bremen encourages emigrants by t them well when they arrive ; and this is an ample set-off fora . geographioal incon venience. Thus but few American vessels come to Holland ; for in 18.54 only 4,000 emigrants embarked here, while at Bremen 75,000 embarked. These vessels imported goode from America at a compare. lively nominal freight, for their return freights more thanindemnified their loss. 41,000 casks of Whom alone were imported into Bremen, in 1854, by those emigrant vessels, while only 9,600 casks were imported into Holland, but at a con. adorably higher freight. Thus Holland is effee• Melly driving from herself a market which is enrich. ing other states, bat which she herself might elm* exclusively enjoy. When will statesmen become men of the State, and see in its welfare a charm more potent than in holding in paralysed hands the coveted reins of power? PREPARATIONS FOR THE DEFENCE OF BT. PETERSBURG. CRACOW, A 7. PRIL The Clas contains the following improbable account taken from a private letter of the 2nd inst. from St. Petersburg :—" The whole of the bridges on the Lower Neva, built of granite, have been demolished and thrown into the bed of the river to render it imps. sable for large ships of war. The Russian fleet is fully armed, manned, and victualled. Two divisions are at Cronstadt, and the third at Sweaborg and Revel Great exertions are being made to fit out the light flotilla, consisting of 300 gunboats. Fearful of a landing at Rigs, which is only defended by two small fortresses, Narva and Jamburg, and defencelees towards Oatschioa, the Russians have concentrated in the Baltic provinces and round St. Petersburg an army of 120,000 men, composed of a part of the corps of grenadiers, a part of the first army corps, of the infantry of the guard, and irregular cavalry, which will be distributed en echelons along the coast, whilst entrenched camps will be formed at the most important points." The Danube of Vienna lays :—" Intelligence has been received here from the Crimea to the 30th alt. On the 29th a combat of cavalry took place, in which the Russians lost 200 horses and 400 men."
