FRENCH PAPERS. FROM TRZ GAZITTZ Da FRANCS, APRIL 21. BUCHAREST, MARCH 28, All the reports t:.at were circulated some days ago of a division of kussian troops having passed the Danube near Galata, and carried off the Turkish magazines, has not been confirmed, any more than the news of a battle in Set vii between the inhabitants and reinforce ments of Turkish troops. The political circumstances becoming every day more complicated, the tel impo. t ant events, which appear to become daily more nu merous, give occasion to a multitude of false accounts. It is easy to say that they ought to be listened to with distrust. In particular, in a country like this, where there is no official account, it is often impossible at the first moment to distinguish truth from probability. For the rest, persons who are well informed affirm, that all that.m.y be said of the intentions of the Russian Oovernme 4 to excite a revolt in Servia is destisute of foundation; bt4 Russia would soon abandon the Ser. vians, if they attempted without reason to obtain by force a change in thrir political conslitiou.—Aug.

Thank GOD, we were now relieved from •he political quacks, whose only remedies fur every Led had been copious evacuations! Lord BEXLEY could not believe that either the Act or the letter referred to by the Noble Baron c4lled f r the appellations attriblite.i to them, and the rididule thrown upon them. The calculations of Isk Futlsison • had been made on an erroneous basis. The Ulm ssa'il . arose from the calculation of compound interest for fifty years to come, upon grounds entirely hypothetical. Mr. Finlaison had been afforded every facility to put= . sue his calculations, and fo r a period o f fi ve y ears an d a half had been unable to arrive at any determine.. conclusion. This fact justified the opinion his Lordship had entertaTned from the first, that it would have beta do much for him while in office to have acted on any estimates on this subject he might have been able to make. He did not think the Act was to be sent into utter condemnation. He considered it most important that the public debt should be made a temporary one, and that every thing c ilculated to lead to us liquids. thin should he resorted to.

The Earl of MALMESBURY postponed the second reading of the Middlesex Lun itic Asylum Bill, and of tle County Lunatic Asylum Bill, from Thursday next to Tuesday, the 29th instant. Their Lordships were aware that the evidence taken before as Select Committee Hof the other House had hen printed by their Lordships' order. It was printed to-day, and would be ready for delivery to-morrow. But there would not be sufficient , ime between that and Thursday for their Lordships to form an adequate opinion of the evidence. Indeed, although he now postponed the second reading of the Bills, it was not at all certain but that on Thursday he would move for a Select Committee to inquire into the state of the law as respected Lunatic Asylums, with a view of proposing whatever measures might be neces sary for their better regulation. In the other House of Parliament there had been Select Com mi• tees appointed, he believed, in the years 1812, 1815, and 1828, and three Reports on the subject had been presented to the Howe. Three or four Rills fronded on the e separate Reports had been sent up to their Lordships without producing the effect which it was now sought to achieve. With the experience of these proceedings before their eyes, he th ught that their Lordships ought •of themselves to proceed to investigate the matter. He gave this notice now, as it was 'sensible that instead of moving the second reading of the Bills on Tuesday, he would move for the appointment of a Select Com• mittee to inquire into the suite of the Laws for regu lating the Licensing of Private Ntad-Ifouses. The Earl of LAUDERDALE protested against the course about to be pursued by the Noble Earl. There were very many people who thought themselves ag grieved by these Bills, and who, therefore, petitioned to be heard by their Counsel and witnesses against them, and it would certainly be most inconvenient, in the Noble Lord's opinion, to hear evidence at the 80., and after wards to go into a Select Committee, for the purpose of having the same subject investigated. It was strange that the Noble Earl, without laying one word on the subject previously, should come down only two days before the second reading, and give notice of his inten tion to move for a Select Committee. The Earl of MALMESBURY reminded the Noble Lord that the second revel% was fixed for next Tuesday week. He did not think the parties opposed to the Bill could object to the inquiry of a Select Committee, as they mi,,ht . th n be at liberty to offer such evidence as would best forward their interest. The Earl of LAUDERDALE said, the question was, whether or not they wore to have two inquiries? The second reading was then ordered to be postponed to the 59th. Lord SE LSEA presented a Petition front Arundel in favour Of Catholic Emancipation. The Duke of MONTROSE presented a Petition from Stirling, praying for the Repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts. Lord hi ELVI L LE presented a Petition frt.m the Royal College of Physicians, Edinburgh, praying that facilitks might be afforded for procuring subjects for dissection. The Earl of SHA FTESBUR Y presented a similar Petition from the Teachers and Pupils of the Aldersgate-street School of Medicine. On the motion of Lord COLCHESTER, a message was sent to the Commons, desiring that they might permit 51r.Bat clay and Mr. M inning to be examined before their Lordships on the bill for the Disfranchisement of the Borough of Penryo. LIFE ANNUITIE. The Duke of WELLINGTON moved the second reading of the Life Annuities Repeal Bill. Lord KING said, that a more folish measure, or more replete with blunders, than that which it was now proposed to repeal, was never heard of—a measure by which the country lost so many millions. It was a matter of astonishment that any persons could be so foolish as to pass at one and the same time two counter acting Bills, such as the " Dead Weight Bill," and the " Permanent Annuity Bill," which had decidedly anta gonist principles. We had just one nostrum, and then another—the Life Annuity Scheme, to shorten the dura tion of the debt, and then the Army and Navy Pension Scheme, to prolong its duration. Two more absurd schemes, counteracting each other, never could have entered into the head of any man in the government of his own private affairs. What, then, was the result of the two Bills? Millions were lost by the one, and millions by the other—(Hear, hear).—He would put a case. Suppose a private Gentleman had a mort gage on his estate by granting annuities ; and yet, with this incumbrance, which he wished to get rid of, he granted more life annuities. What a most ab. •turd thing this would be! In all the mismanagement rf mounteblok financiers, that which he had alluded to was the worst—(Hear). And yet the thing was done without the attention of Government having been called to the erroneous calculations upon which the Life Annuities' Bill was founded; for, in a letter which L , rd GODERICH, feeling that he was one of the culprits, thought it necessary to sty a few words on the present occs inn. There might be quacks in the finan cial department of the Government, as well as other situations of life; he hoped he was not such a character, nor would i.e adopt the Noble Baron's example of giv ing medical lectures. As to the last letter that had been referred to, it had been written after he had re tired from office; and upon Mr. Fmlaison's introduction to him, he found him engaged in making one of the most intric.te calculations that he had ever seen, for the purpose of showing that female life was much longer than it had ever been generally assumed to be— (Hear, hear). It was obviously a subject of great im portance, but nothing had at that time appeated to justify the assuniptinn of a new basis for the calculation of human life. This Gentleman had a great many schemes in hand relative to annuities, and he told him to bring, as far as the nature of the thing %child adm t, his investigation to a close; because it was impossible to go to Parliament without having the matter as clearly proved as it was possible to be. He said he had proceeded, but it was still problematical whether his calculations had satisfactotily made nut his premises. Lord KING said, that the argument of the Noble Viscount was as satistectory as that of a physicia.i, who by improper treatment had reduced his patient to the last extremity of weakness, would be, if he told h m that a body of scientific persons were investigating the nature of his medicines; and that as soon as ever they had concluded their inquiries, and arrived at an un doubted conclusion upon the subject, the mode of treat ment might perhaps he altered. The Earl of LAUDERDALE fully agreed with his Noble Friend in the charge of inconsisten:y he h.d made against his Majesty's Government, in respect to these Lite Annuities and the Dead Weight. Thee bject of the Life Annuity plan was to relieve posterity from a burden, by taking it in a great degree upon ours-lees. And the object and direct effect of the Dead Weight Scheme was to relieve ourselves, by casting burs en upon posterity. If this was not a contradiction. he ss aa at a loss to khow what a contradiction was. He agreed, however, with the Noble Lords opposite, that the cal culations of Mr. Finlaison ought to be received with great caution. The Ccmtnittee of the other Heuse bad proceeded with so much haste, that they had not even stopped to inquire what was the present pi ice of Governs menu Securities. If they had made this inquiry, they would have found that there was no recessity for so much precipitation, as the loss to the country at tte present price of the Funds, was not going on increasing. The ge duration of human life was, he believed, longer now than at the time when the Annuity Act passed. For this we were indebted to the great improve ment which had been made in medical •eieuce. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be com mitted on Thursday neat. The Marquis of SALISBURY moved for a Return of the quantities of Wuul imported during the last ten year., uiarhiguish ing each year. Mr. Smut% presented a Report from the Cenientssitiners et Roads and Bridges in the Highlands of Scotland. Mr. Raves/ presented Wire Copies of Affidavits in the Court of Kind's Brock in the ease of " Lee against Lee." • The Earl of WAR WICK presented a Petition from the IN. gistrates of the County of Warwick, praying the !louse to Oahe into its consideration some means to diminish the number of jute. Mk offenders. IMMIX DISVILANCIIIIIMIZIOT BILL The Order the Day was then read for the further examination of witnesses in the case of renryn. Counsel were called in, and Mr. Mau and Mr. Wssasassio ap peared in support of the BM; and Mr. Hammon and Mr. Law against it. Mr. John Panley was further examined by Mr. Ab►se.
