Our letters from Germany, which we have just received, bring us also letters from Bucharest of the 2.1 of April, which say, that the arrival of the Russians was every moment expected there. Another letter from the Turkish frontiers, of the sth of April, says, that letters from Constantinople of the 26th of Match, and from Bucharest of the Ssi of April, contained no important news; only it was announced from Constantinople, that the Divan, seeing that there was no means to avoid war, had resolved to second the Sultan, and to repel force by force. Notice has been received at Bayonne that the first column of the French garrison of Pampeluna had quit ted that place on the 18th April. Major General CIPIDII Balthasar will leave P.umpeluna on the 24th, with his Staff, and will arrive at Bayou's, on the 29th. It is' affirmed that the 55th of the line, now forming the gar rison of St. Sebastian, which is to return at the begin ning of May, will be in garrison at Angouleme. It seems from information worthy of credit that the fitness of Jaca will not be evacuated for some time. Seven Spanish malefactors, who committed robberies in Catalonia, were shot on the 16th April, at Figuera. The Swiss Regiment of Bleuler, in garrison in that place, has received notice that it is shortly to depart. We extract the following article from the Journal du Commerce: " It was reported yesterday on 'Change that news had been received from Gen. Guilleminnt, anmiuncing the resumption of the negotiations with Turkey. It was also affirmed that it 'was agreed on between the' ' Powers that no territorial indemnity should be required of the Porte, but an indemnity in money, the amount of which it was even said was fixed. The bulletin of the Exchange will show the favourable effect which this news produced. We relate it as it was generally given. Pei haps it may be incorrect. 1 - I , 4wever, it seems car , ta.n that part of the clouds which obscured the politi cal horiz in begins to disperse." The Semaphor gives a list of the vessels which might make part of the expedition from Toulon. There are ' at anchor in the roads two ships of the line, eight fri ' gates, two corvettes, eight brigs, four schooners, four gabarres. In the arsenal one of. the line, one corvette, two brigs, two schooners, two gabarres, and one steam L boat. PRIVATE LETTER, DATED PARIS, APRIL 27. Lord in certain the intpsr believed also !new, difficulty Lord and - cola the MOT, The the'' The whi one In nothing has public opinion made greater progress in France than on the question of national indepen dence. Not many years ago, the meeting of a Con gress. or the arrival of an Ambassador at Paris, inspired general alarm. It was known that the effects of such an event would be felt in the acts of the Government, and sometimes in the enactment of laws. This year our journals have mentioned the arrival of Lord London den y. They have added, that be comes in cnncert with Au,tria to make propositions hostile to the liberty of nations : but the news has produced no greater effect than if his Lordship had been sent as the Envoy of the little.republic of San Marino. It is not that England has lost het influence, but people are convinced that if she had a Government opposed to the principles pro- fessed by Mr. Canning and his friends, that Government could have no influence on our internal affairs, and could act but feebly on our foreign policy. If his Lordship, therefore, has come to France with any sinister views, be must be surprised at the litde sensation which his presence has excited. Our industry and commerce seem to be in a state of embarrassment. One of our first commercial houses has failed. Prince Talleyrand, the Duke of Aremberg, and Baron Louis, have suffered great losses by it. The first has lost several millions. M. Paravey, the chief of the house, committed suicide before the failure was known. He was a mah highly esteemed, and has left a family fox whom great sympathy is felt. He bad left home for executing his fatal purpose, when an offer arrived of assistance, which would have enabled him to re-establish order in his affairs. His death is ascribed to reproaches, which offended his delicacy. addressed by the chief of another banking establishment. It is said that The deficiency will be 16 or 17 millions of francs, but nothing certain is yet known. . . ever, think it necessary to trespass on their Lordships for any very considerable time. The County Lunatic Asylum Bill was a Consolidation Bill. It consolidated seven statutes, and thus simplified the law without making any great alteration in it. The object of the Bill was to enable Magistrates to place in a proper asylum those unfortunate beings in the louver class of society who were drprived of reason, arid thereby re duced at once to absolute poverty. The very terms, pauper lunatics, expressed two of the gre ite.t cala mities to which mankind were subject. As soon as a poor man was afflicted with insanity, his arm was para. Sped; his means of subsistence were cut off, and his unfortunate wife and children were driven to the refuge of a workhouse. It was necessary not only to provide for the subsistence of persons in this deplorable situation, but to provide for them also the means of cure. Now this Bill enabled the Magistrates of every county in Englaad to provide for those unfortunate brings not only the means of subsistence, but the opportunity of g subjected to a curative process. The great mischief of the present system was, that the paio chial officers were tempted to send their lun.ttic paupers to the cheapest asylum that could be found ' for them. In many instances they paid only nine bela shillings a week. The consequence of this was, that when Magistrates visited the Asylum, the proprietor had a ready excuse for any impropriety or defect of arrange ment. He would say, .. I can lodge and feed the pa. tient at this rate, but as to any curative process at such a scale of remuneration, it is entirely out of the goes lion." it was only while the disorder was recent that any hope of cure could be entertained. By the present system, that period was suffered to elapse, and the re. suit was, that the pauper became an incurable lunatic. The machinery of the present. Bill was to enable two Magiptrates on the representation of any parties having an in the fate of the patient, to order his re moval from the parish authorities to the County Asy lums. The County Asylums now in existeoce hal effected much good, but not so much as might have been effected had it not been restricted by their limited funds. It was only,necessaiy, however, to visit one of them to be convinced of the superior advantages ecjoyed by the patients confined in them, in respect to space and classification and general treatment, as compared with those in any private .receptacle. He anticipated no objection to the second reading of this Bill, and he in teuded to propose to their Lordships to refer it,.together with another more general Bill on the subject ot Luna tics, to a Committee above stairs. It was his anxious wish to secure the passing of this Bill, from the opera. tion of which he anticipated the greatest advantages; and he knew no better method of surmounting difficul ties and obviating objections ) than by appointing a Se lect Committee. Lord CALTHORPE said, he had been an eye wit ness of some of the shocking abuses in one of the Asylums to which the Noble Lord had alluded. His hope was. that the Bill would prove an effectual chec Is upon those abuses. The Noble Lord entertained the most ardent hope that the Bill would receive the sup port of that House, and pass into a law. The Marquis of SALISBURY considered the Bill liable to objection. The Earl of MALMESBURY said, that the obser vations of the Noble Lord applied to the more general Bill, of which he would move the second reading pre sently. The DM was then read a second time, and ordered to be referred to a Select Committee. The Committee was named, and the va. riots Pedtioas on the table open this subject were ordered to be Wetted to It. REGULATION NOR LUNATICS. The Earl of MALMESBURY then moved the second reading of the Bill for regulating the care and treat ment of Insane Persons. This Bill, she Noble Earl said, appeared to repeal three Acts, but in fact repealed only one—the 14th of George llL—the other Acts being merely declaratory of that. It was not necessary fcr him to advert to the several clauses of the Bill, nor to the enactments it proposed to repeal, but he most ad vert to the evidence for which be had moved on a for mer occasion. This evidence bad been taken before a Committee of the other House, and he was convinced that it was sufficient to justify he new enactments. He was not fond of ultra legislttion. but that evidence showed clearly that the 14th of George 111. had not been effectual. In that evidence some account uas given of two lunatic establishments, kept by Mr. War. 1 I: I I . .• " frti 1,1 I :~ ij • rt. ,• , - , P••... ~.. . ..'' `\ ' . 4 , .1.. 1., :"- .iii r ,: . - t o . . ... _......_ . , [PRICE SEVENPENCE. _ I -: IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. , , ~ —.a._ HOUSE OF LORDS, APRIL 29. • , 1 THE LLCM emotion. , be House met at teno'clock this meowing, and sat in a Cons. ee of Privileges.
