absolute necessity of doing so. They bad made such regulations as to render the search as little bartbensome .is possible. But nothing would satisfy the people but the liberty to smuggle. Mr. BENNET said, he bad no doubt the men on the preventive service behaved with moderation. It was the system he cotnplained of. If, instead of prohibiting those goods which formed the object of smuggling, the principles of free trade were admitted, and moderate du ties imposed, this evil would be put an end to. Am' to Ireland, no place in the world, with the exception of La Vendee during the Revolntion, bad been treated as the North of Ireland had been under the distillation laws. He could not consent to extend to that country the other detestable securities against smuggling with which this country was carsed. Mr. FISHE PALMER said, that if after all the ex pence of triartallo towers, and preventive service, smug gling was not repressed, it must be done by other means than violence. Mr. F. ROBINSON observed, that the Distillation Laws in Ireland had nothing to do with the Customs. He agreed as to the expediency of taking away many of the restrictions on the importation of French goods, which vow exiisted. Aftera few words from Mr. Alderman Heygate, Mr. J. P. Grant, and Sir 0. Clerk, the House went into a Committee, on the Report of which leave was given to bring in a Bill to amend and consolidate the laws for preventing Smuggling in Ireland. The other Orders of the Day were disposed of.— Adjourned at a quarter-past one. (For Proreedhsgs ie the Lords, sec lust pagr METEOROLOGY. The mildness which we noticed as commencing this day week, continued only till Tnesilay night; since which time the previous sharpness has returned, accompanied with wind and showers. It is worthy of remark, that on Saturday last, the day on which we experienced the fa ' mutable change, a like alteration in temperature took place at Edinburgh. On that day, at right in the morn ing, the Thermometer was 49; at the sauce I of the preceding day it was only 37. It is proper also to notice, that on 'Tuesday se'nuight, an extraordinary high tide occurred at Liverpool, in the Solway Frith, and at other of our western porta in St. Illeorgr's Chan nel; and that at Bristol it was preceded the day before by a violent storm of thunder, lightning, rain, hail, and wand.

" Since your departure front here our Colony has eN perienced great changes; the divers misfortunes it has undergone, and which you have no doubt heard Of, its situation and the taxes have rendered it very 'enable. There is nut to be Oren either gold or sil ver coin; all have disappeared ; the Bank and Govern "'rut paper is the only currency we have, which loses thirty per cent compared with the metalic specie.— Thus usury still encreases daily ; and although this port is open to all foreign ships, it is but seldom that *ve see any. We have the consoling prospect of seeing oar country becoming a desert. Bourbon, on the con- 1 , teary. protected by its Government, is in a flourishing condition, its productions being considerable, and sell in; well, consequently money is plentiful. The two Wands ought never to have been separated; they were mutually useful, and particularly Bourbon to Ours. It helped us a great deal with its cloves for ] India, (which prevented the exportation of specie,) and its coffee fur Europe. The balance of commerce is now in its favour, because the productions are greater than the consumption, and it is the contrary with a•, we expend more than we get."

It was supposed that in a Canton where the character and language of the inhabitants were the same as in Pie-dmont. the opportunity afforded by the events in the latter place, would prove an Inducement fur renew ing some discontents of a local nature, which had formerly existed. Some partial troubles have already occurred, but according to an article dated Zurich, April 2, several individuals were arrested, the militia corps placed in garrison, and erety means taken by the Authorities to restore and preserve order. Letters from Vienna of the 31st state, that the ob ject of the recent journey of the Duke de MonaNs, was to demand in the natne of his father-in-law, the King of Sardinia, the protection of the Allied Powers. A part of the Austrian garrison stationed at Vienna, has recently been ordered to march into Italy. In the French Chamber of I.) sputies the most tem pestuous discussions are still continued, on the question fur calling to order the members. Whatever may he the fate of the law proposed, the liberal party appear determined to oppose its enactment, manfully, if not with success. FRENCH FINDS—Five per Cents. B:2f. 15c. ; Bank Actions, 15.12 f. 50c. Accounts from Turin of the Ith instant inform us of the departure of the Prince of Carignan° from Novara, on the _9th ult. He is stated to have quitted that city in the same secret manner as he abandoned the capital ; and it is added that he burst into tears, and exclaimed, that he had been betrayed. Of his subsequent adven tures, it is related that he repaired to Modena; but the new King refused to receive loin', and that he hail gone, in consequence, to the court of his father-in-la►v, the Brand Duke of Tuscany, in Florence. The Princess of, Carignano was expected to join him there. A notitica. tion has been issued, by the Goverour of Milan, fur re calling all subjects of Austria 'eelunging to the Milanese territory, who hail gone over to Piedmont. This order is chiefly understood to have been directed against the students of Pavia, who had joined in great numbers the students of Turin, whose attachment to Constitutional principles has been so conspicuous. The internal state of affairs in Piedmont and Turin is thus represented in the following letter : 'l'untst, Aen►►. 4.—The unfortunate affair which took place 1111 Sunday last between the Carabineers and the regiment of Alessanolria has been attended with no fur ther result. The Carahineers have been removed from the city by order of the War Minister, and perfect tranquillity has since prevailed. The Pierintoniese Gazette contains an article on this subject, and also announces the arrival of a courier from Madrid, with the reply of the Spanish Government to the despatches sent from Turin on the 13th of March, announcing the proclamation of the Spanish Constitution in Piedmont. The Gazette states that the intelligence was received with the strongest interest by the Spanish Govern►uent. Count Pavia di .Scandalussi, commanding the Savoy division of cavalry, has published an address to his bre thren in arms at Novara. It is very moderate; and the sen ti►nents of moderation which it discloses are, I believe, entertained by the majority of the inhabitants of Pied mont and Savoy. It does not appear that there is any very particular enthusiasm fur the Spanish Constitution, except among a part of the military and the students ; but at the same time there is not the slightest disposition to return to the old system. Persons connected with the government assert that Baron Bender contributed greatly to the sort of counter revolution which was operated at Cloambery. The Baron on leaving 'furin went to Chambery, whence he proceeded to Geneva, in order to return to Austria or Laybach. What has occurred at Chambery causes, however, no uneasiness in Piedmont, and is regarded as unimportant by the junta of Turin. The corps at Novara, it is said, has made reconnoissances on the road to Turin; but that causes no alarm. It is believed that the soldiers will not fight against their brothers iu arms. Advice' from ConstantinopTh of the sth instant ac knowledge the increase of those internal embarrassments with which the Porte has been for some time en tangled. Previous to the recent danger that has arisen, the following is an enumeration that is riven of its troubles. The war in Albania, com menced last spring, is not yet terminated ; and al ready Servis has claimed, some months since, import antprivilegeP, and the demand was made with a degree of confidence which made it necessary to comply with it. Serious disorders have broken out in the countries near to Persia, Which have reqnired the employment of a very considerable proportion of the Ottoman forces. — In Arabia the Werliabites have assembled their hordes, and threaten a new war. In these difficult conjunctures, and at the moment when the Porte was, as it were, on the point of finding itself in urgent need of the forces under blahomet Ali, the Viceroy of Egypt, to oppose them to the wandering hordes which his son Ismael Path* bad before conquered, it imprudently (as we intimated in The Statesman about a month ago, from oar private sources of information,) threatened that powerful Chief with & maritime expedition, with a view if not wholly to strip him of his power, at least (which would be the same to him) to deprive him of his treasures which it unwillingly sees in his hands. This step being taken, whether the expedition takes place or not, Malsomet Ali, well aware of the intentions of the Porte towards him, can no longer be considered but as an enemy, more or less avowedly. While the Government was already oppressed with so sissy burdens, an insurrection broke oat in Walachia. At first it was expected to be speediy suppressed, bet in me bag time it has wooded to Moldavia, threats.* to exteoa to all the mistrial of the Empire which are sot illoeselmoo, zed that it is the remit of a plan to separate all the Week provinces from tit Ottaas• desnialass.

To give as idea of the ability of the Porte to en counter the various difScelties with which it is sur rounded, these advices subjoin a statement of the mili tary fo►ce of Turkey. According to this account, the grand total is 406.400 men, of whom 113,400 are Janis saries, and 50,000 are mariners, though it is added, that only the half of this mass of force can be considered as disposable. Every meeting of the House of Commons bears some fresh evidence of the determination of Mr. lirsex to follow up those recommendations of reform and re trenchment which he so strenuonely urged at the coin mencement of the Session. The exertions of that in- defatigaLle member are unrivalled, and though at pre sent they do not seem to be successful, we have no doubt that the impression they have produced upCin the llinisters themselves are deep:um! serious, and that on a future occasion their good effects will appear. It is understood that there are numerous items yet in the Army Estimates which he purposes to contest and it is not likely that, af:er the expourr..s he has made and uoeditates, the next E•tittia:rs will be allowed to furnish him with so many flagrant instances of profu sion as he is led to bring to light. In the mean lime it is mortifying to find the mean spirit of Ministers dis pose them to make such improper %use as they exhibit of the wholesome lessons they have received. —The economy that lirMe anal his coad jutors have ;urged is upon a large judicious scale, that aimed at henrfies which the pithlir should I ( extensively and sensibly feel. But the appointments 'of the great, from the reduction of which some ya luable savings might he obtained, are not suffered to be touched. The office of the CostMAN oeu-i x-Ctur EY is as well protected against the attempts of retrench ment, as that of the Royal Commander himself; and all the officers may sleep as securely at their p.,sts as the Juana AtivoiaTt, without a dream of any danger of theiremoluments.!isturbing their repose. Yet something must he dune to satisf c the claluour for economy, and the minor men or matters, that may be !opt off without affecting any ministerial interest, can he safely sacri ficed for the nation's good. Some clerks at present in the Admiralty, the Treasury, the Navy or the Victual ling Office, whose services are remunerated with eighty pounds a year, may be dismissed, and reduced to a state of paupers: public offices may with • hold their advertisements from newspapers, and the duties of excisemen, which need to he simple and regular, may be compounded anti perplexed. Such changes as these may be made to show that the work of retrenchment re wired is actually commenced, and the more effect they have in raising complaints among the parties concerned, and in exciting prejudice against reformers generalk, the nature likely is it that the work will stop, and that those who have begun it in such an illiberal form will he pleased with its defeat. _ . lesterdAy was r ay-la !

His difference was 7,0110 f., but he declined paying a single shilling, although last Account he received a balance of 11,000/. By advice. from Madrid we learn that the Spanish constitutionalists are proceeding with activity to wards a ref ono of the tinancial abuses and depreda tions under which their country laboured. It appears that from September 1914 to October 1920, there went out of Spain for the sole advantage (in some shape or other) of the Holy See, the large sum of thirty millions of real.. It 14 now proposed by the Committee td the ('..rtes that the annual contribution to Rome shall be limited to the sum of two hundred thousand real. too arix fhr ncrevsary expenses of the Catholic rhurcli.” A Brazil packet arrived yesterday, with letters to the 7th of February. but does not bring recent ad vices relating either to Buenos Ayres or to Chili. The determination of the King with regard to the affairs of Portugal, was still unknown : and as the policy of the Brazil Cabinet was nat.+ embarrassed by obvious causes, opinions respecting it were various. A pro clamation, isstied by General Bolivar, after the conclusion of the armistice of Trusiilo, strengthens the impression which previously existed. that this treaty was the prelude to an adjustment of the differ ences between Spain an I Columbia. An article received by the Hamburgh Mail, under the date of Lubeck, March :11, informs us that a ves sel hail arrived there in four day, from [Aeolian. bring ing intelligence that tie new Russian ariff hal re ceived the sanction of the Emperor.
