LONDON. TUESDAY, MAaC2s, isle. TI Frankfort Gazette of the 16th March. re el ivrd hibt night, contains the following article : " LOWER ELBE. MARCH 7• " Among the reports its circulation, but winch ire in waist nfeontirrostion, is, that Porto Rico will prbl,;4l,ly he (-riled to a Northern Power fur Esst Win pits:, imsnis." We havr received New York Papers to the lst 14- t. 'Floe following are extracts : risw YORK, FEB. ,2 0 .

A corvette, er sloop Of war, is s 'id to b 1 ordered to be put in readiness without delay for the rifer Orootioco, and an agent is said to be about to. pro med thither with dispatches from our Govern. mein. A report of this kind has a thousand tides hooked to i!, asuoug which 1 give you • few, not vouching for their tied:racy that Cora' molore Brion, the chief naval Of f icer of Veno. atiela, had, upon the hearing of the capture of Amelia island bye military force of the Udited States, seised upon two vessels under the Ame rican flag, and held them, end that the vessel now ordered out is to demand their restoration. There are Wei various other reports, and the writer in the Washington Paper amyl There is. you see, some little con t radiCtion • between these different reports, but there is also some concurrence. There appears to be a concurrence thit Commodore Brion look two ship.. There N sloe a concurrence in the fact of an United Stites easel goiug out with a spe cial egret to Orroonocir." The &ousels Papers which have arrived at our Office, contain a letter front Valenciennes, assert , lug positively that in May next the Hanoverian. Delilah, and Sawn contingents of the army •f occupation will commence their march homewards, -mid that the EngliaN stud Russian corps will retire in September. The French Government ore to H purchase the horses of the latter. The French H Papers give as daily accounts of the frequent conferences held by Lord WaLt.twolow with the several Ministers of the Allied Powers and France, and it is not improbable that the retreat of the army of occupation may form the subject of their discussions. But we do not believe that any ..determination is yet formed respecting it, nor is it likely that the Doke of WELLINGTON would con sent to a division of the Allied forces, while it may be thought necessary to retaia on the frontiers of France any appearance of a foreign power. The ' occupying army would indeed occupy a post of danger, if it ceased for a usawseat to be respectable in bumbler* and efficiency. We said, in our Paper of Saturday, that the Bdl introdoced by Mr. STOSOES BOURNE into the House of C mos. for regulating the Poor Laws, required much revision, and at the some time suggested. on two points, what to our minds should seem improvements: we allude to the clauses respecting the appointment of aasiotsait overseers in parishes, and the power of parishes to let lands at an improved rent., The former psi. vision, we feel confident, will not attain. the ob ject proposed—and the latter must, of necessity, originate a long coarse of abuse and vexation. It has been 'nice objected to us, by correspondents, that in our suggestions we had evinced no mercy towards the clergy, in placing upon thrii shoul ders the grievous load of dispensing the public charity, and that the labours of the clergy are already sufficiesitly entenive to engage their ut ' moat industry. We certainly should be unwilling to place upon the labouring port of our clergy a burden disproportioned to their strength, or even inconsistent with the fair enjoyment of rational 're laxation ; but in pointisig them out as the legiti mate agents of public charity, we were influenced not only by the view of what is passing in the greater !art of Scotland, but by the reflection for merly noticed of the absolute necessity of having pinions engaged in that momentous concern, who. to personal respectability, would oink a sound dio. creflon. and a zeal for charity, and who, from bring deeply impressed with the importance of the duty, would not betray their trust, in a desire to avoid or dnniuisls its necessary labours. Such qualities are not easy to be met with in any class of met, bet certainly the clergy of the church of England ere more likely than any other to present them iu a form adapted for practical utility. We will, how.. ever, admit, that many of the advantages which we propose to ourselves from ►he immediate agency of the clergy, such as the excitement of an honest pride, and the prevention of importunity. might be obtained, if this Act required every applicant for public relief to appear pe►sonally before the select vestry. NVitli re►pect to the power of parishes to let lands, we think it unuecessary to add a word to our former observations. We approve ahoget her of the p►ovision for rating in certain awes the Owner/ iiistead of the occupiers of houses. It is enacted— "That where iu say parish the yearly amount of the rents of rill the booms, sportsman*, sad dwellings &emits phial 'weed threutoarth ports of the whole arterial real, or value of the whole property assessable in such parish to the Peers Hates, it shall be lawful for the inhallitauts of such parish, in vestry susembled, to resolve and direct that the owners of any houses; apartments, or dwellings, which shall respectively be let to the °eremites thereof at soy rent not exceeding twenty pawls by the year, shall be amassed to the rate% for the relief of the poor," The only objection that could be made to this chime in anticipated iu the Bill, which says. " itt many instances (particularly in large and populous tools) it path been funnel that the persons letting such houses do actually charge cud receive much higher rents for the:amine, upon the ground and ex pectation that the otrupiers thereof cannot be effectually as►essed to she Poor's Rates ;"—en the, iu fact, the owners Of the houses put into their - • . pockets the moiler which of right belongs to the parish. The. law thecefore will make no alteration iu the relate of the houses! or apartments, and will only divert a fair proportioo of it from the owners to the ponr. With regard to chargeable pone, born in SPA' land, Ireland, the Isles of Xl.m, Guernsey, *and Jer sey, the existing laws contain no provision for their removal, until .the commission of an act of vas grancy; nor can. they be removed without having been first publicly whipped, or imprisoned is the : House of Correction. Thr proposed Hill corrects this gross absurdity in the leers, and dispenses with this cruel and barbaroos preliminary of crime and , punishment, or rather of ponishinent without crime, and enables a Justice of the Peace, after inquiry Into certain facts, to cause the removal of such paupers to their respective homes. Being on this subject, we think it right to notice (in the hope of hosing it corrected) she witty freqeent 'hose of the provision for granting a reward (we helieve of ten shillings each) for the apprehension of solvents. It. has appeared in evidence before the Police Com mittee, that by Collusion between vagrant* and pc lice officers, this reward is not unfrequently paid, for the arrest of the same individual, several times, and that; the object of the Act is not obtained in having the vagrant- transmitted to his own parish. It world be desirable either that this reward should be abolished, or that some very severe penalty should be attached to the connuissiou of the offence . 1 we have mentioned. The remarks we have thought it our duty to 'Make on this Bill, will, we think, warrant us in saying, dirt the measure is by no means so sans- factory N we had anticipated, from the combined wisdom of the Poor Laws Committer, acting' upon the masa of evidence which bad been pro duced before them. The provisions of the Bill appear to us either insufficient or injurious in such important points, as almost to neutralist the good effects of those which are lets objectionlible. We have not reviewed every clause in the Bill, but we by no means astient to all those we have omitted. Some of theta are of a very doobiful character ; such, fur instance, as the ciao.* enabling perishes to anticipate their revels's', by loans and by the sale of annuities. Such a policy we tbiak very questionable; lout it is possible that the good sense of parishes might prevent it from beim; attended with ill consequences. Our observations on the . entire Bill have been dictated by a genie of the great importance of the matter, and in the sincerest respect for the Honourable Member wimp his in troduced the Bill ; but nothing can tend; nom et:. &moony to correct the move of tho flotilla-than a free discussion, which-Aide we are *Woos to promote.

All the holies belonging to the Russian artillery, cavalry, and military train, will be ceded to France by a particular arrangement, which will spare the inconvenience of tramopening them by pea. Such is the news that circulates at the head quarters ut Cambray, and which comes from a re spectable source.
