JASSY, MAY 10. The Governor General is busily engaged in orga nising the Administration of Moldavia. Our liospodar has been taken to Bender. The Beckli Aga of Molda •ia has retired to Czernowitz, in the Austrian territory. Several of his inferior Officers have been taken by the Russians. The foreign Consuls, who at first intended to leave Jassy, seem now to intend to remain there.t It is announced that the Russians have taken Gallacz, which had only an insignificant fort, accompanied by a small number of Turks, who set fire to some houses, and retreated towards Braila. They were pursued by a considerable corps of Russians. Preparations are making for the siege of the latter town, which will be directed by the Grand Duke Michael in person. This place has a very favourable military position, a garri son of 5.000 men, and is abundantly supplied with all kinds of provisions. An obstinate resistance is expected. The Emperor is to be at Ismail on the 18th, and it is thought that he will immediately go to Bucharest, to direct in person the operations of the army of the Danube. Some persons say that Count Wittgenstein will remain in the Principalities, while the Emperor will ad►ance with the army to Constantinople. Count "Nesselrode and M. de Mattuschiem are ex pected here on the 22d. Quarters are already prepared for them. M. de Stoumdza, who is at the head of one division of the Foreign-office, is also coming here. It is not known whether the Grand Duke Constantine will come to the army. It is generally said he will command the reserve% which is composed in a great measure of the guards. BUCHAREST, Maylo. A division of the Russian army arrived yesterday at Toczany, and will prob4bly enter the city to-morrow. A strong division has marched from Toczany for the Danube, PARIS, Max 28.

Though the news of the cipture of the Mexican brig of war Guerrero, by s Spanish frigate, has already been given from the New York Papers, sortie of our readers may be desirous rf seeing the following official account: " Eztract of an Official Dispatch from Captain MAW[I2.I3, corn tnanding the Herman, to Commodore roars'', dated C.ayo- liutso,iFebruary 14. '' With extreme regret I have to announce to you the loss of the brigantine Guerrero, and her brave com mander Doti David H. Porter, an officer whose services were of the greatest importance to our navy, after a desperate action with the frigate Lealtad, of fifty guns, 'and a crew three hundred strong, maintained on me part of the Guerrero in so gallant and determined a manner, that it may be said she has gained a victory, though ultimately captured. "As far as I have been able to learn the particulars of this event, from friends in the Havannah and through other sources, it appears that on the 10th the Guerrero fell in with a squadron of small vessels under the convoy of the Marte and Amelia brigs of war, the former mounting 14 guns, and the latter 5. The Guerreto engaged these brigs off Mariel, and da maged them so much that it was with difficulty they escaped and took refuge under a battery to leeward, which the Guerrero also attacked. As the acticn took place close to the land, the news soon reached the Ha vannah. The Lealtad immediately put to sea, and in half au hour reached the scene of the contest. The Guerrero endeavoured to escape by bearing away for the Tortugas, and 'maintained a running action at intervals during the night. In the morning of thelith, however, the two vessels came to close quarters, and continued firing their respective broadsides during the whole of the action, which lasted two hours and twenty' minutes. The Guerrero having fired her last cartridge, was obliged to strike. Captain Porter was killed at the close of the action by a spent ball. Yesterday the Guerrero was towed into the Havannah by the Lealtad. 'the Guerrero had both her masts carAied away, and had received a number of shots between wind and water. The enemy states the loss at 40 killed and wounded, but this is uncertain. It isbelieved by many at the savannah, that it the Guerrero had not run out of ammunition, she would have captured the Lealtad; at any rate she certainly would not have been taken. " Captain Porter was to be interred this morning at Ifivannah, with the honours of war. A note is added, stating that . by ,strbsequent information it was learned, that one of the Lieutenants of the Guerrero had been killed In the action: According to coniiier - cia - l - adriCes from several parts of the Continent, the article of grain has been much in mand of late. We find that on the 19th inst. there were on the market of Marseilles, '20,000 loads on transit account; 175.000 of home growth; and 7,000 sacks of flour, going off rather briskly. At Leghorn, on the 10th of May, there were 340,000 sacks, of which 110,000 were for account cf an English merchant, who would sot take less than '2O livres—a price so esorbi• tarn as v o preclude the hope of the parcel being made marketable on the place; but the owner was likely to obtain his price at length, inasmuch as the remaining 21)0,000 sacks would only suffice for a few weeks con sumption. The last sales in Odessa soft wheat were effected at Leghorn from 12 to 14. The same quality obtained at Genoa, on the 17th, from 19 to 21 'lyres. On the 23d, wheat continued to be in demand at Am maim and Brussels; and at Hamborgh, oa the 2.oth, th e hems were still numerous, though prices had ua• dergoas no change. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS MAT 30. Mr. 11. CLA RKR, from the East India Company, presented an Annual Return. Mr. Alderman WOOD presented a Petition from the Master and Wardens of the London Lighterman's Company, against cer tain parts of the London Docks Bill, and praying to be heard by Counsel against the same.— Referred to the Committee on the Bill. new WRITS. - Mr. PLANTA moved that the Speaker should issue his warrant to the Clerk of the Crown, to issue a new Writ for the County of Perth to elect a Representative to serve in the present Parliament, Sir George Murray ham* accepted the office of one of his Ma jesty's Chief Secretaries of State (the Colonial Department) since his election for that County. Mr. HUME said, he was aware that that House was not competent to interfere with any of the arrange ments that his Majesty might think fit to make as to the persons who should fill the ministerial offices. But still he felt himself justified. ash Member of that House, in offering his opinion with respect to the changes in the Ministry which were about to take place, or rather had taken place. lie certainly had trusted that a new system was about to be pursued to our Colonies, and a system, too, which would, as far as practicable, remedy the evils which had arisen out of the old one. The Colonies required some relief, and when he loooked at their condition, and at the condition of the Canadas especially, he felt considerable alarm. He regretted the change Khich had taken place in the person who was to fill that office in the Ministry, the particular duty of which was to administer the affairs of the Colonies. He did not wish to dett act from the merits of Sir G. Mur ray as a military Officer. From all he had ever heard of that gallant Officer, he beliesed him to be most able in his profession. He believed that he was perfectly obedient to command, and that he had always evinced great anxiety to execute the orders he received ; still he could not but look upon the appointment as dangerous, when he remembered that he had heard the Gallant General, in his place in that House, declare he knew the British soldiers perfectly well, and that they would like no system of discipline so well as that of flogging. He feared that Sir G. Murray might adopt a similar notion with respect to the Colonies. He (Mr. Hume) had ever deprecated the system of coercion adopted by Earl Bathurst, and he had hoped for a beneficial change under the direction of the Right Hon. Gentleman who had lately presided in the Colonial Department.— (Hear). Those being his opinions, he thought it his duty to take the earliest opportunity he could of pro testing against the renewal of the system of coercion towards our Colonies, and to express his apprehension at the evils to be expected from the appointment of the new Chief Secretary. He protested against the system of a military domination, which led to extravagance and maladministration beyond all precedent. The state of the country and the wishes of the people called for a very different course, and he strongly objeCted to military men holding a great number of those official situations which, with a very few exceptions, ought to be filled by persons of a purely civil character—(Hear). Colonel LINDSAY—Sir, I find it impossible to listen to the oh,ervations made by the Honourable Member. for Montrose, without feeling desirous to say a few words in answer to the observations he has made upon the appointment of my Hon. and Gallant Friend. And first, Sir, I will ask, whether it follows, that because a man has botne arms, be is, therefore, unfit to hold a civil appointment ?—(Hear, hear) Is a man, because he has been brought up in the school of integrity and honour, the less fit to devote himself to the service of his country in a civil capacity?—(Hear, hear). Sir, I cannot help observing, that, under all the circumstances, I consider the observations of the Honourable Member for Aberdeen, to say the least of them, a little prema ture and uncalled tor. As to the Gallant Officer, w hose recent appointment has been made the subject of those Asservations, I must state that I know no man more competent to fill it. He had been long stationed as a Military Officer abroad ; and had an opportunity of making himself acquainted with our Colonies ; and par ticularly in that Colony to which the Honourable Member for Aberdeen had alluded—l mean the Canadas. For he was specially deputed to that Colony by Go. vernment, for the purpose of making a Report upon its internal institutions and regulations—a duty which he discharged with credit to himself and advantage to the country. Sir GEORGE WAR RENDER—Sir, I can bear tes timony to the high character and excellent military talents of my Gallant Friend (Sir George Murray), and feel sorry that any personal allusion should have been made respectin g him. That Gallant O ffi cer has, upon every occasion , discharged his military duties in a man ner alike honourable to himself and advantageous to the interests of the country—(Hear, hear). But I cannot help taking the earliest opportunity of expressing my regret, I will add, my dismay, at witnessing the fre quency with which our Administrations have, in suc cession, been broken up by private dissensions and in• ternal quarrels. I confess that I, in common with the country at large, feel alarm at these sudden and frequent changes. I should look upon these changes with distrust at any period, but they are peculiarly to be dreaded when coupled with the state of the country, the state of our foreign relations, and the state of our Colonial possessions. There are great public questions shortly to be agitated, as well in this as in the other House of Parliament, which must depend mainly upon the character and principles of the Cabinet; and I hold i u i to he a heavy responsibility on the part of those bo . create disunion and distrust, where union and ' ...Operation ought to prevail.—(Hear, hear, hear).— ch a course of proceeding must of necessity create a *ant of confidence in this House and in the country, and without confidence it is impossible that public busi- i ness can proceed. In justice to myself, I feel bound to acknowledge the eminent services rendered to this country by the Noble Duke now at the head of his Majesty's Councils, in his military character; but I en tertain apprehensions of the - continuance of his civil career. I trust in GOD, that the military glory which he has achieved may not be eclipsed by the misfortunes of his civil appointments. I feel that we have a right to call, in a plain straight-forward manner, for such explanations as will remove the doubts now generally existing ; for if the rumours abroad are at all to be cre dited, the slightest difference would again be sufficient to dissolve the Cabinet so recently called together. As other opportunities of delivering my opinions upon this subject will no doubt present themselves, I shall not detain the House further at present ; 'nor should I now have trespassed upon it, but that I am apprehensive of a continuance of disunion in a quarter where confidence and cordiality are so necessary. . Si! A. HOPE —Sir, I cannot help expressing my iur . prise aethe objections urge's' against the appointment of military men to civil offices. The House has now before it the manner in which civil appointmeitts have Been ffischarged; and !tont that specimen you may judge of tbe . general Atuess oT military men fbr such appoint ments. Sir, I maintain that, geneisilly ape:king, they have been the 'most fit and competent persons to hold them. If yob mainta i n that a military education dis qualifies a man for a civil appointment, then you have a right to say that it disqualifies him for . a teat in this House; nay, the argument will carry you the'len gth that it disqualifies him f or the ssession of every right of a free citizen—(Hear, hear I) It should be remem bered, that the period was- not far back when every aGremnstlti.mi defence thought icoceof i hi t s d c isho t,on o tr o y u , r a a n be d i th n i o s t b t e o in h g av u e b lec o a r s n e e , that professiontieno of h cannot ia beitis tight looked upon a pos a citizen. n assu iz fficientto deprive M y Right Hon. Friend, who has lately filled this appoint ment, would, if present himself, bear testimony to the talents and abilities of my Gallant Friend, and would, lam sure, express satisfaction at his appointment. Sir George Murray highly distinguished himself as Ad jutant General in the West Indies, and also in the Canadas, at a most delicate and trying moment. The question was again put from the Chair, Mr. HORHOUSE.—Sir, although I was not in the House when the Honourable Member made the motion called for by the recent Colonial appointment, I teel it necessary to say a few words upon it. If all I have heard since I entered the Howse be correct, I think the appointment of the Gallant Officer in question as good as any which it is in his Majesty's power to make. But I do hope and trust that at one time or another we shall have an assurance that the Administration is perma nently settled; for I think it would be better that we should go on acting upon a system in some degree de tective, than that our whole policy should be in a con tinual state of vacillation and change. lam sure that all who have witnessed what has taken place in this country within the last twelve or thirteen months, must see the necessity of coming to some fixed determination with respect to the Administration. Within the short period to which I have alluded, we have had no less than four Colonial Secretaries, not to allude to the other equally numerous changes of place. Under these circumstances, how can we hope for any perfect' system of Colonial Legitlation ? but that we must shortly adopt one, the present delicate situation of our West India Islands renders perfectly evident. Sir, when we look around us—when we see the state of Europe, as well as of our trans-atlantic possessions—we must feel convinced, that if we are not to have one set of individuals, we ought at least act upon one fixed and determinate system. In some of our Colonies, it has for some time been unknown who was Colonial Secre tary. We scarcely sent them out the name of one indi vidual, than they were informed that that individual had been displaced. Under such a system of change, how can any efficient Colonial measure be expected ? Let us turn our eyes which way we will, we feel con- vinced of the neeirssity of having a fixed and permanent Administration, that will have the confidence of the House and of the country. As to myself,l beg to state, that I am perfectly ready to give my humble support to any Ministry formed on sound Constitutional princi ples, without caring from what party, or set of men, from whom they may be chosen. And lam sure that Ministers have had no occasion to complain of the sup port they have received from the Honourable Members who sit around me during the last thirteen months. I dont ask for this or that Ministry; but I say, that the time is at length arrived, when Honourable Members have a right to withhold their confidence, until they see a peimanent Administration formed, instead of going on like children from day to day, without know ing who is in office, anti who is not. ' Lord NORMANBY—I do not rise, Sir, to prolong the discussion on the present occasion, as other oppor tunities of expressing my opinions on the subject will doubtless present themselves, and the continuance of the discussion is not very desirable or expedient during the absence of his M. , jesty's Ministers. lam only anxious to observe, that I am glad, in the present preponderance of military promotion, to see the Gallant Officers, in the absence of Ministers, lead up the advance guard of the Ministerial phalanx so courageously—(a laugh). • Sir A HOPE—There appears to be an insinuation contained in what has fallen from the Noble Lord, which I am anxious to rebut. If the Noble Lord means to insinuate, by leading the advanced guard of the Ministerial phalanx, that I am going to take office, he is mistaken. Lord NORM ANBY—I assure the Gallant Officer that I meant nothing disrespectful by what. I said. Sir A. HOPE was about to proceed, when be was interrupted by cries of " spoke." The motion was then carried. NSW WARM • New Writs were then ordered for Saint Ives, in the rem of the Right Honourable C. Arbuthnot, who, since his Election, has accepted the Chancellorship of the Duchy of Lancaster; for the County of Westmoreland, in the room of Lord Viscount Lowther, who, since his Election., has accepted the office of Commissioner of Woods and Forests, and:Receiver 4,1 his Majesty's Land Revenue ; for Durbain, in the room of Sir H.

Courteuay, who, since his Election, has ac cepted the office of Vie 2-President ut the Board of Trade; and fur Plymouth, in the room of Sir W. Congreve, deceased. Sir J. NEWPORT gave notice that he chould, on Tuesday nest, introduce a motion to prevent the appointment of any addi tional Commissioner of the Navy until time was given to consoli date and regulate the oCice. • Alr. W. PEEL accounted for the absence of a Right Hen. re lative of his (Mr. Secretary Peel) by stating, that he was attending a Cabinet Council. The Air and Calder Navigation Bill war read a second time. Petitions were presented boy' Mr. Alderman Woon, from ►tams gate, against Colonial Slavery ; from Chipping Norton, by Mr. AiIICAST, on the same subject; by Mr. GRATTAN, from the town and county of Westmeath, praying relief to the Cotton and Linen Spinners, and also praying some Provision for the Poor ; from the Protestant Inhabitants of a district in the county of Monaghan, by Mr. SHIRLEY, against the Catholic Claims; from Swansea, an , l a district in Glamorganshire, by Sir C.

W. PEEL brought up Returns of all the Courts which had, or may have had, the power of granting Probates on Will,. Mr. W. PEEL brought up the Report of the Committee re lating to Charities. Chi the motion of Mr. 11. GRATTAN, Returns were ordered of the quantity of Glass exported into Ireland from England and Scotland during the last three years, distinguishing the different qualities, and the drawback allowed thereon. Colonel MABERLY presented a Petition from the Members of two Friendly Societies at Northampton, against the Friendly So cieties' Bill. The Report on the Rights of Executors' Bill was ordered to be taken into consideration on Wednesday next; and the second read ipg of the Promissory Notes' (Ireland) BiU, was fixed for this day se'nnight. SHIPPING TRADE. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON requested the Gallant General below him to postpone his Motion regarding the numbers of British Shipping, to a more distant day, as, under existing circumstances, it could not obtain a full and satisfactory discussiOn. General GASCO YNE said, it was his intention to have postponed the motion; and as he did not know when the appointments would be 611 ed up—(hear), h r could fix no precise day at which he would bring it on, The Gallant General was about to explain why he must wait for those appointments, and what the nature of the question was, v. hen The SPEAKER observed such an explanation w ou ld be out of order on a postponement ; and Vie m ot i on was then, after a short deliberation, Axed for Tuesday fortnight. Mr. BUCK presented a Petition from the inhabitants of Exeter , respecting the circulation of One-pound Notes. Mr. CU ItTRIS gave notice that he should take an early oppor. tunity to move a Resolution of the House on this subject, as he thought a limited circulation of small notes would be beneficial. Mr. BUCK presented a Petition from the Magistrates of Sud bury against Negro Slivery. Mr. HUME presented a Petition from the Shipowner...od other Inhabitants of Dundee, against the making of what they declared to be peculiarly unjust laws, to uphold the pike of bread; and pray_ ing that a certain duty might be imposed, that should dintirish gradually from the time of its imposition. Mr. HU MH moved for Accounts of the Revenue of the two Indian Presidencies fur the year ending 30:5 April, 1826, and 30 t p April, 1827 ; and also an Account of the Amount of the Inter, st uG the Territorial Debt of each of the two Presidencies for the sam e two years, being a continuation of Papers laid before the Huuse the course of last year. _ _ _ Mr. W.

BURDETT postponed the further contideratioo of th e Freeholders' Registration Bill till Monday nest. LAW AND MOTT COMMISSIONS. Mr. BROUGHAM wiihed to know whether the Commis sioners on these two subjects had made any Report on the matters referred to them ? and if so, when those Reports would b e l a i d before the House? He presumed, that tf the R-;ores were com pleted, there would be no objection to laying cup:es of them before Parliament. Mr. Secretary PEEL said, that with respect to the inquiry into the state of the Common Law, a Report bad been completed ; but he disl not think the other was quite finished. lie believed the sig natures of the Commissioners had siqt, been attached to it, but if they had, both Reports should be laid on the table of the House directly. If both were not now completed, they would be at a very early period, and in the course of a night or two should be laid before the House. Mr. HOME DRUMBIOND postponed the further considera. tion of the Scotch Alehouse Licensing Bill to Wednesday next. Mr. HUME moved to discharge the Order he had obtained for certain Returns from the Prerogative Court of ezliterbury. He made this motion in order that he might, on Friday heat, move for a more complete Return.—Discharpd. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. On the motion of the CUMICELLOR of the &COMM, the Home resolved itself into a Committee of Supply. 111 r. DAWSON moved that a sum not exceeding 140,0001. be granted to his 'Majesty to complete the sum necessary to defray the charges upon the Civil Contingencies for the year 1828. HUME thought ti would be much better to take every item contained in the vote separately. There were many to which he strongly objectEd : he objected Ito the'charge for the Cape of Good Hope C , rtarmssion: £50.000 had already been expend:-d upcn that Com mission, and he wished to know whether it was likely that it would soon cease to exist? anJ also Whether it' Report would be laid before the nousel. The CHANCELLOR of the 14.15.Cflt.QI;ER was not prepared to say whether the Reprt of the Commissioners was of such a nature as to be fuliy laid before that House, but he would make inquiries upon the subject. Mr. HUME contended that the whole of the Report ought to be laid upon the table. In reply to questions put by Mr. Hume, Mr. DAWSON stated, that the Sierra Leone Com mission was no longer in existence, and that for the West Indies would have to sit some time longer. Sir J. NEWPORT concurred with the Hon. Mem ber for Aberdeen, in thinking that the whole of the Commissioners' Report ought to be laid before the House. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had been misunderstood. The only part of any Report which the Government could 'wish to withhold would be that which referred to quarrels between private parties, and were not at all essential to the elucidation of the point in question. After . a few wor:ts from Mr. Goanox, Mr. Secretary PEEL said lie did not see how there could be any difference of opinion upon the subject. Surely no Hon. Gentleman would contend that it was desirable to give publicity to private quarrels ss hich bad been healed, and might be renewed by a publication of the circumstances, especially when a knowledge of those quarrels would afford none of the information required. Mr. BARING said that in Colonial questions personal matters were often the principal part of thv case. The Colonies were at present in a very dangerous stat; nd required to be treated with kindness. Whether they would be pacified by the crew Secretary he could not pretend to say ; but certainly pacification did not vne t ally proceed from Gentlemen of his profession. Upper Canada had sent in Petitions signed by nine or ten thousand persons. The Petition from Lower Canada was signed by eighty thousand persons. Abel the Cage of Good Hope, in common with the Canadas, coinr plained of, mal administration, In fact, all the peat Colonies were complaining at the Bar, of that liouse of the ill management of their affairs. He did not like entrusting the Colonial Department With the power of withholding any part of a Report of Consmissioners, and 'Loped that the entice Report would in all cases, without some very strong reasons were given for a con trary course, be laid before the House. In reply to some ohaervations made by Mr. Hume, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that ore Commissions were anointed respecting the Treaty of Giieut. had finished its labours, and the others would soon do so. Mr. HUME wished for some information respecting the LOGO' and Madrid Commission. ........ TLe CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, :hat it was iike'y lo AS some time longer. . Mr. H11).1C objected to the item for presents made to Fore ga Ministers. There was £l,OOO to the Chancery of Alexic , ; but as the laws (lithe New States of America forbad the Minister' cf these countries receiving any presents, he could not believe that the sate had been paid. He wished to know from the Right Hunconaoie Gentlenau what the law of 3lexico was. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he could not speak as to the law of Mexico, but as to the fact of the pay" meat of the sum charged he could speak. At the conclu'ian o. the Treaty 1,0001. were presented to the Minister of this counrrl, arid; as was usual, a similar present had been made to the Ciancay al Mexico. Air. 1-11:31E said, what he desired Was, that these ezismies should be put an end to. There Wai tine item which he woned to have explained. It was the charge of £1,29.9 for robes lar me Emperor of liusia and badger for Waternieu. 31r. DA W SON' said the liens included Indy ftiO for waurti.cals badges. The oth,r part of the charge was nu mote than usual. In answer to another question from Mr. Huns, Mr. DAWSON said, it wa, not the intentiutt of Coser.imert defray the expenses incident to tb, creation of Peers which took place from among the Diplusnatn: 13ody.
