The same paper adds, that during his last visit to his ; capital some very important subjects were debated in the Council, in the presence of his Majesty. A levy of 190.000 men is confidently spoken of ; it is also said, that aupia has invited Austria to take mi litary possession 'of Bosnia and Servia, pro tempoPe.

In the vicinity of Moscow above 30,000 men are encamped, who have been raised for the most part by the late levy of recruits. According as they are trailed and equipped, they are marched in detachments of 300. towards the south-western frontiers of the empire. The number of regular Cossack corps is said to have been increased very considerably, and that a large part cf the reinforcements lately sent to the army of the Caucasus consisted of troops of this description. . .

Mr. Smith, the Russian Vice Consul, and two other persons, died. Search was made for the owner of the vessel who had brought them, bat be had left, and is not known. A . ship Captain, who was brought up to the lobster fishing, and now resides at Carlsham, says that when lobsters are to be sent to a distant part, it is usual to parboil them, and to strew each layer with 1 , salt and - a little mercury, to keep them fresh. This seems to explain the mystery, into which the Crown Prince has ordered a strict investigation to be made.

By thelaw of nature, and by the law of the country, the Lusitanian crown be longs to the eldest son of our Monarchs. T:te eldest is, Don Pedro IV.—the other S )veieigns have acko9w• edged him As the legitimate King of Portugal; V.e' Portuguese swore allegiance to hint ; and an &hoc was , raised to them in the 'stein of every one of them, when, moved by his high wisdom and magnanimity,. he de- creed the Constitutional Chatter which we swore to 1 maint tin and to observe, and which, for ever secured our happiness and freedom.

My head alone would answer for all, if adVerie tate should make us succumb, and perfidy triumph. I take the whole re sponsibility upon myself; but mind, that thin sacrifice on my part requires the fullest reciprocity Irom you; and this is to consist in unlimited obedience.

POLICE OF THE METROMILIS. Continued from our Paper of Yesterday. AGENCY OP POLICE OFFICERS. With respect to the agency oI police I.f cers in these transacti•,ns, the evidence befote pour CoMmittee is confined to those of the City and 'of Bow -itteet. No others have, it is believed, been engaged in the riego ciations about the property of hankers; and though general imputations upon other offices have been thrown out by-some who acknolledged theirown delinquency, your Committee have no proof 'of such transactions, and wish their remarks to be understood ac limited to the two sets of officers above snenti. ned. In Sir Richard Birnie's esausinationr before the Police ComMittee of • - 1822, the following statements occur: " Are you aware at all of a practice which is supposed to take place, of persons who are robbed cosh•ng to terra with the robber through the medium of the oficers?-1 have heard if such a thing, but I Dever could bring it tame." " From the manner M which the nieces are regulated, and the means the Magian:atm have of obtaining information as to the con duct of their olliceri, that species of crime to which the last ques tion relates, could not be committed to any great tlttllt without your detecting it ?—I think it impossible; the Magisnates must Menthe means of detecting it." In his ezatninatiiiit before this Co uniittee, Sir R. Bit= nie has again stated as foll•'w. : " Do you conceive that the character of the police officers is lamb bettey.now than it used to be, prior to the year 1822 ; that they are eta ►etter description of men ?—I think they are. " From that circumstance you consider th.t they ire not con. earned now, as you have reason to believe that they were in for. mei years, in negotiating between thieves anti persona Who bt been robbed of their property ?—I do certainly say. that I never knew au instance where I had ant thing like posjtive reason to suspect they were concerned in any thing of the kind since the year 1821. the year in which Sir Richard began to take charge of the office.] Previous to the years 1821 or 1822," he states. • " I had been told that tome of the old offinirs had been Concerned is it--sonteof the old stagers that beleged to the office." During ,the latter years the attention of Magistrates must have been often called to it by general rumours and detailed statements in the Newspapers. Sir Rickard admits Gime to hive had suspicions • formerly, and that subsequent inquiries have been made, as, when questioned, whetter in the late casts of parcels being stolen from coaches being restored, he bad been able to trace any connection between the police officers and the parties who had lost their pr 0- perty ? Ile replied, " Certaioly not; and I will venture to say that in one particular case, where it was roundly asserted • that it was dem through the medium of a police officer,' I have reason to believe that it is untrue." Mr. Halls also avers: " I had my ma picieos, but I had no knowledge of it ; and so far from having any ►nowledge of it, I had given my Mind, if possible, to ascertain the means of acquiring a knowledge of it." An inquiry also was instituted by the Home Office during the last year, into a compromise, in which an officer was rumoured to have been concerned, without Any discovery being made, though every officer in the establishment w-s sworn And examined. This ii!norance ccsuld not therefore arise from attention not b a yi ng been called to the subject. Your Committechaving discovered, that through those years compromises have repeatedly taken place by the intervention of police .fficers, and a regular system to facilitate them has been gradually maturing, conceive it is at least incumbent upon Government to exact a more vigilant and intelli gent supeointendence . generally, and mote active in quiries wheneler suspicion shall arise. Your Committee thnik it right to state, that, how. ever' readily the officers of Bow -street and the City Police .have undertaken the neguciation of these com promises, they frequently seem to hbre been induced to it without a corrupt or dishonest motive; and indi viduals of them have been satisfied with a much lest sum for- effecting Ase aammornisec than the reward effered f yi: the apprehension of the guilty parties.
