Upon this the Russian General said he could unt suspend the operations, but must proceed to the immediate attack of Sweden ; and Colonel Ltazuvad, alarmed at the consequence, concluded a coavention, the principal terms of which were, t o ot during the urgociation no attempt should be made nu the part of Sweden to retake 'Aland; and that the main body' of the Russian troops in Aland should be ordered to march back 'o Finland, to which terms, the report says,tbsi.ltursion (.eueral most certaiuly would lint have aireed, hurl lie not been convinced of His :34I‘Eirl AL 5.11.111071 rs wish to conclude peace with the 'nests,' gostero ment of Sweden.

It funned the subject of a very interesting speech, on Monday. in the House of Commons. We may there see, with what facility, frequency. awl impunity, the Treasury evn , le, or disregard all the legislative enactment, male to restrain profusion or peculation. \Who but must feel some indignation, when he sees and finds, that in times lilte these, the pension* granted to Foreign Ministers have actually increased in twenty-tvo years, since 1787, from about 9,0001. per ineum, to nears2,oool. ; that is. nearly six times its for mer amount ! Boise* Bill a;mestrs to have formed nu manner of bother or impedinseut to any grant or abuse. Tiough by that Act, the pen sions, paid out of the Treasury Fee Fend, a ere positively restricted to the auto of 9.3,0001. annually, it appears that they hive been more than doubled; amounting now to more than 36,0001. airir. But the annual suns expended in sinecures at this mo men?, when we f e el so severely the attacks of the Assesf.nr and the Tox-gatherer, may well awaken Seine attention hi the politic. Abuse 272,0001. per annum is thus bestowed. though the return,, made upon the subject do not embrace, or include the colonies. It was not possible for the Ctisx,:ift.r.os of the EICHCQUER to refuse going into an inquiry, or taking into consicLration such it report, aithunt exposing himself and his colleagues to notional re prehension. We cannot doubt, that when it comes before the House, it will produce effects propor tioued to its importance.
