This fact has been proved beyond the cavil of the most sceptical, by the frequency and earnestness of the con versions to those principles. Noblemen, and farmers) and legislators, no matter how much they might have identified themselves with the opposite policy, htive seized the first reasonable opportunity of -acknowledging the change which the consideration of truth has worked in their own minds. And this has occurred not once, but incessantly, not only irrespective of all base inducements-to such a transformation, but in . act ual opposition to self-interest. Now of . the Protectionists. At the commencement of the discussions of taxes upon foreign corn and mo ut h p ieces provisions, h th u e P°l trepidation by of monopoly endeavoured to fill us wit o would be sumincor: 4 .4 -threats of the antagonistic forces which w * heir voices, for from all quarters, at the sound D ir . R OBERT and his the express purpose of ith demonstrations supporters. We were threate of protection to agri culture a prodigious scale is favour by hosts of day labourer s culture ; petitions, s i gne d and tenant-farmers, were to choke up the entrance, and • crowd the lobbies of Parliament ; distant but giant remon strances were to issuefrom our colonial possessions ; th e Legis lante was to be stunned with the din raised by Briti s h sub jects in indignation at the proposed policy. Four months • have elapsed since the utterance of these big-mouthed warnings =- four • months ! and how have they been fulfilled ? Ex nihilo nihil fit, saith the adage : here IS . an exemplar ! 2c t o demonstration in favour of agricultural protection worth one moment's pause to a statesman ; no petitions in earnest of the popularity of the same cause ; no single hint of dissatisfaction from our colonies. That Is the relative position of free trade and monopoly. The Bill approaches its final ' stage in the tower House, and it does so under auspices the most propitious. The majority on the second reading was,if anythin g , .4. more triumphant than on the first; he nce we I With sanguine eyes to the divi vision upon q." - hircl and last. 'That it must prove in every esseritlal particular most decisive, man can no more doubt than he can question his existence. Even the unfortunate enemies of the measure must long since have perceived, not only that their doom is sealed but that they have rendered themielves the laughing -stocks of Christendom, the scape goats of their own folly, the general butts of mankind. My. Ldrd GROECOr Burnt/ma, however lofty his egotism, must recognise this " must • all of his followers, minnows and: preys. His. Lordship's speec just as a Hunterian lecture- by WIDDICOMBE would have been listened to by the associated men of science —viz., as a cdrions eccentricity, worth hearing, if only for the sake of enjoying -a, hearty cacchination. Further than this,, ad the obsequious -cheers of the disinterested poli ticians ranged behind his Lordship, the attention of the House did not go. He and his forlorn pa ty were in a pteposterous and untenable position. With the remainder of the Commons affajrs.have stood very differently through oat, but especially at. the present juncture, when the Prime Minister , enforces, the cause he had previously avowed in words more explicit than 'ever, declaring what he .previously believed to be impolitic he now believes to be unjust. A more overwhelming and concordant support Bill never had—in its vitality is its triumph. " Re. member, soldiers, yet' are but the advance-guard of a great nation !" said 'NAPOLEON to . his' army on the outset of the Austerlitz campaign. So say we to our liberal-minded and Aiberal-Hearted legislators :—" Remember, f ee traders, you are but the - advance-guard of a great. nation!" , -To say that there is no constitutional goiernment in Spain - is a mere truism, admitted by every observer. The Spaniards, 'to'their sost,'find another truth of still more vital importance, and . one which is equally Obyions to that unfortunate people—there is no government whatever. , They have been deserted by every Cabinet;. the Cortes, under a despotic ruler, had been so chaeged in the constitution . of the body, and so humbled, that for any national good they were helpless, and available only for - registering the decrees of the Camarilla and the proclamations of a military Die tatOr. Even all these external forms of government have been swept away, the new Ministry is justly regarded as a non entity, and the_people, to escape from the baseit slavery— the galling ,chains of a foreign yoke—are thrown entirely upon their own resources. But a week ago we ventured to Predict—rather a hazardous experiment in regard to su c h as i country--ethat, their 'patience being utterly exhausted by such .endless and ruinous revolutions at Madrid, they . would A be compelled to rise in their own, defence, and would take for their watchword, " The QUEEN and . the Constitution !" i" Dew-n with CHRISTINA!" "'Down with TRAPANI !" In !.a proclamation just issued to the army by the " Directing Junta of the National Movement" in Galicia, we were therefore not surprised that. the words to the same effect had been actually , :adoptedhy that body, and that the main causes of grievance at the present moment are, the detestable intrigues of this ; wicked woman ,for overthrowing the libeity of the country, and making it, as in bygone dais; subject to Naples and France. "On other points of the territory," says the Junta, " thewar-cry haS also been raised against that avari cious, hypocritical, and intriguing Neapolitan, who takes ad vantage of her position to deceive and enslave the QUEEN. Aided by a handful of traitors, she exhausts all her schemes to seat on the throne of Spain a Neapolitan Prince full of superstitions and servile ideas, to dreg us at the tail of Rome, beneath the feet of, the French Govern ment." The Junta, at the conclusion of the proclamation, , furnishes the watchwords, "Down with the Neapolitans!" " Down with the traitors !" " Long live liberty and the country I" This movement in Galicia is evidently of a very serious character, even judging from the distorted statements ,in the Madrid Gazette. A naval force (and what naval force hde Spain ?) is ordered to operate on the coast of Galicia as if the soldiers in -the interior could not be depended upon ; and die GOVernment of LOUIR PHILIPPE has also taken the alarm, and, appointed a protecting naval force for that quarter. But they will have more coasts than this to guard. The Spanish nation can no longer submit to the ruinous schemes of foreigners and traitors, and,,sick as they must be of civil war, and disheartened, too, in the prospect of anything like a regeneration of the classes that rule them, they are forced by dire necessity to resist' a system the moat insufferable of all with which they have yet been 'afflieted. The acc oun t s i n the Madrid Gazette received this punning state that non e o f „..... the peasantry have joined the insurrection. But that really says nothing. The movement was begun by the middle, classes, aided 14 the-military —parties sufficiently powerful! in these days to create a revolution in Spain. The army, too; is . a machine just suited to thieccasion. It is open to the highest bidder, totally disorganised, destitute of. any distinguished" leader, and in a. very short period, if affairs thus continue,i will be without pay. The conduct of the intriguing traitors' at. Madrid has eielted such', abhorrence and despair in the prervieces;.that the public-.functionaries or juntas that may be formed - will stop the revenue returns, and retain. all, for their own loeiif purposes ; Never ' was atsy country morci thi.o'ffghly ripe for a great movement. And what has beeq the cause of 'this' total. derangement of a Government that but four years ago- appealed to be established on fair, coal stitutional princeples?Queen CHRISTINA, the protegiee of the, French Court. We blamed at the time 'the part / octed, ..by : _Loss PHILIPPE, after CHRISTINA was expelled from Spain by a - well-arranged and patriotic plan of ESPARTERO. He saw the despotic and unprincipled disposition of the woman could not be eradicated—he saw that if she were allowed to return to Xadrid to renew her intrigues, there must be a struggle between them for the mastery, as has since been exemplified in the ruin of NARVAEZ, and he resolved to cut the matter short, by compelling her to -embark at Barcelona. She had no alternative, and was hurrying fast to Naples, to paso the rest of her days, as she said, in retirement, when she was stopped near Marseilles, by a messenger from the Court of the Tuileries. She was induced to take up her residence in the French capital, her hotel beeame the centre of intrigue for all discontented Spaniards, and all the enemies of ESPARTERO. She was evidently a favourite with the French Court, and used as a means for an end. What that end was it is difficult to say, but one thing is clear, that this woman has occupied herself. SOrCahsivalgta thath e e of marriage the havearr o i t ag e e r of her eldest daughter,vi with h i not t n h g e Qii x dabueehnterqmuiiegthlyt arranged, perhaps, the ma rr iage have followed a s a matter of course, and dau g hter near relative of Louis PHILIPPE'S might have been selected its the favourite. We fear that only some strong personal ing of this de scr i p ti on could have made a Suvereusofereel-- markable for hi s p ru d ence choose a woman of very g low cha racter, and thoroughly disliked by the great majority of • Spaniards, as a tool for carrying his family sehemes into effect. Has he gained his object, or has he any chance of it? . CHRISTINA'S character is so tainted, she is regarded by all good patriots as a foreigner, and the agent of foreigners, and any marriage that she could propose for '-' either of her - daughters would be regarded with the strongest • aue - Picion, and considered as a return for acme enormous bribe to betray,her adopted country. Lord AisEnnEEN ap pears to,have acted a prudent part in reference to all these disreputable transactions. As far as we -can judge, Mr. BLTLWEE has sided with neither party; he has -not disgraced the character of a British Minister by mixing himself up with the vile intrigues of the QUEEN-MOTHER and her Camarilla. He- is neither for Count TRAPANI nor Don HE. QUA but leaves these affairs to the Spaniards, and thereby maintains the true dignity of the British Embassy, etttnim O Oint 1 .0141)0N, MONDAY.

His conduct on this occasion, as in all the transactions which took place during the contest for Nottinghamshire; has been straightforward and manly. However anxious for a seat in Parliament, and though he knew it was absohitely necessary to enable him to fill his present important office, he would not give a pledge which he considered inconsistent with constitutional principles, but resolved rather to take his chance, trdsting to his own merits and the good sense of the ScottiSh " electors. The result is highly honourable to both parties, and more especially to the Liberals, whO form the majority of the constituency. Many of them, it is admitted, held back, in order that Lord LINCOLN .c., might.iaat bereturned, not because they bad deserted their prin ciples, or concurred in all those entertained by,bis Lordship, b ut because guids their I t te he is y jno kn m ew that a great boon for the country stake, because they wished to encourage a Minister en gaged in a noble and a 7 sacred duty, aticl .

The substance of the eorresponttenet is, that fir. HUME, who is about to renew his labours for abolishing the COEENS printer's monopoly in printing Bibles, clainis the support of the Bible Society in his exertions, and this committee; re presenting the often-expressed feeling ot the parent society, refuses to help in the work. Most of our readers p e taps know, but it w ill d o no h arm the Qt.tame s p ri nter claims the sole right (the to repeat, that by "i n t ue of a royal patent) of very question able legality, two Univer:!ities only excepted) of supplying Bibles in Eng l.aid, and that• without limitation as tb price. For fifteen years Mr. HUME and some other parties have been labour. ing, in Parliamentary Committees and by public agitation, to accomplish, the removal of se enormous an abuse. Indi rectly, by preventing the renewal of a similar patent in Scot land, by throwing the trade open in that country, and thus causing an abundant importation cf Bibles into England, which the QUEEN'S printer has not ventured to check, the price of Bibles has been reduced in some cases 30, in some 50, and in some even 60 per cent. Of course the Bible Society, the grand instrument for dif fusing the Word of GOD to the heathen, the poor, and the Ignorant--the almoner of good men's money—has afforded prime aid in carrying on this great work, by which its means of accomplishing its own purpose have been more than doubled t doubtless this Society has at least urged on the public mind the vast benefit of sending two thousand Bibles where they had previously the nyans for only one—they must have acted on the principle of honesty in seeking to make the funds devoted to so holy an object available to the utmost extent. So‘ plain men would reason, and so, we are almost con strained to say, upright men would judge. But of all this the reverse is true, and in the Bible Society, its public com mittees, its private machinery, and its circulating agencies, have been found the most influential props of . the Bible monopoly, and the hardest working opponents to every plan for its abolition. We do not waste time in considering the plea alleged by the committee in their present letters, especially as Mr. HustE's reply disposes of the whole, but we are driven back upon another consideration—we are constrained to think of the channels into which many of these long-established bene volent institutions are running. It has long been forced upon our conviction by the annual proceedings which are just now commencing in town, that their legitimate objects are grievously lost sight of—that they are getting to be erected into huge business corporations—that there is a continual approximation to a maximum of money - and a ininimffin of result—that, instead of a great good sought to be accom plished by means of large co-operation, the objects are re versed, and we have the name of a good thing. retained as a means to a gigantic subscription list. ' We think the Christian public, and the world of benevo lence in our country, would do well to' ponder this thought, which has to our own minds been forcibly presented by this latest production of the bible Society. , The Lucerne Gazette reports that on Sunday week General ..,ONNEXBERG was fired at as he was returning from Ettis well, where he had been attending mass, to his chateau of Kastalen. The person who fired, the shot was Concealed from his view; but it is said that immediately afterwards be saw two young men:tan oil; and "take refug•tri a neighbour • 4ig forest, and who are naturally suspected. to be the guilty Parties. The police of Lucerne have 'offered a reward of 00f. to any one giving only a slight indication of, the of fender, and 600 f. far more positive information: The Augsburgh Gazette states that, during the late insur rection in Poland several Polish families took refuge in Russia, where they were kindly received, and furnished with tbe means of subsistence until the restoration of tranquillity shonld enable them to return to their homes. It would appear from the statements in the German papers, that theltranquillity ofstrian Galicia has been completely 'restored. On the EMPEROR'S birthday an Imperial decree was issued, abolishing the oppressive feudal claims, such as forced labour, &c., which had hitherto grievously pressed on the peasants'; by whom these concessions had been most . gratefully received. . • The Levant mail brings advices from Alexandria of the 20th, Greece of the 12th, Constantinople of the 18th, and Malta of the 24th, ult. RIZA DACHA, who, since his dis missal from the Ministry, had been confined to his own house by order of tha SULTAN, has been completely restored liberty.

General °UBE, who had been appointed Commandant of the pro vince of Teruel, had refused to go to his post, and had been in consequence ordered by the Minister of War to leave Madrid in twenty four hours and Procee.i to the( anary Islands, there to await the orders of the Government. A loan of 200,000M0 reals for the construction of railways has been contracted by the Government under very favourable conditions. M.

The packet left Corunna on the 24th, and brings the following intelligence : " General Conant, in a report to the Captain-General of Galicia, writes from Santiago, dated the 23d, that after a desperate cembat at Caeheira, and after his having entered the town of St. Yago, not withstanding the vigorous defence of the rebels, commanded by Solis, they had been forced to surrender at discretion. The number of prisoners amounts to 1,400, composed of the battalions of Zamora, Gijon, and Segovia, 70 men of the civic guard, different detachments of the regiments of Gijon and Oviedo, and 23 men of the cavalry regiment of Villaviciosa. The number of officers made prisoners is 34, including their Commander, Solis. The troops of the Queen dis played great bravery, particularly in the taking of the town, which was attended with a loss of 100 killed and wounded. This morning the prisoners were sent forward to Corunna under the escort of four companies of the regiment of Mondenodo and a squadron of cavalry." Since then intelligence has been received announcing that CorrcnA entered Lugo on the 26th, and took 300 prisoners. The Madrid Boise was closed on the 25th. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Satur-I day. The fete of King LOUIS PHILIPPE, was celebrated on' Friday with more than usual splendour and more than usual enthusiasm. The weather was superb. Louis PHILIPPE wherever he appeared was received with enthusiastic shouts of Vice le Roi. He appeared in excellent health and spirits. A grand recep tion took place at the Tuileries in the morning, at which hutAufm PACHA was present. The KING with his own hand invested the Egyptian Prince with the Grand Order of the Legion of Honour, who expressed his gratitude in truly Oriental terms. The report of the Committee on the budget of ex penditure was distributed to the Deputies on Thursday. The report itself extends to five hundred pages. From resume of it, which is given by the Journal des Debuts, it appears, that there exists a deficiem y of nearly one thousand millions of francs (equal to 40,000,0001.), and which will re -011%1eleven reais . Of nninterriipted peace to cover it. The Committee only propose certain small reductions in the salaries of public functionaries, amounting in the whole to not more than • 422,417 francs. The report concludes by declaring, With regard to Algeria, that the Committee considers it desirable, in every point of view, that the administration of the affairs of Algeria Sh. uld be confided to the direction of a Minister specially appointed for that purpore. From the examination of the carriage in which the KING was riding at the time he was shot at by LEcostrE, it ap• pears that the balls must have passed within the iraction of an inch of his MAJESTY'S head. The Epoque states that the story in the Armoricain of Brest about a traveller in a diligence stating that the KING had been fired at long before the event took place, originated with a stupid fellow at Morlaix, who invented the story to astonish and alarm the good people of that place The price of bread in Paris for the first fortnight in May has been fixed at 35 centimes the kilogramme tor the best quality. The Gazette de France was stopped on Thursday at the post, and seized at its own offices. The motive for this pro ceeding is not stated.

Useful, without being ostentatious, based on sure principles, and sul ported by all the mercantile and banking interests of the kingdern, this Association ranks among the highest, and when we see the President of the Board of Trade taking the chair, and such a list of stewards supporting him, we feel satisfied that any eulogium on our part would be unnecessary. Our co lumns have often reported the growing prosperity of this Association, and we shall be much disappointed if the results of Wednesday do not far exceed those of last year.

Yesterday afternoon, an accident of a most distressing nature oc curred on the line of the Greenwich Railway,, Ao a man named R eu b en Martin, aged t w enty-eight years, residing in the Spa-road, Bermond sey. Martin was in the service of the Greenwich Hallway Company and was usually employed at the Deptford station, and whilst en gaged near the Creek•bridge, he was knocked down by one of the trains preCeeding towards town, whet eby he received a ftightittl wound of the scalp, about six in ches in length, and severe injury to .the skull, together with several contusions and bruises on various Pails of his body. The train was immediately stopped by the engi neer; when he wss found to be quite insensible, and bleeding copiously from the wound.'

It is evident that among the railway Bills seeking to obtain an Act of Parliament this session this line is attracting very airOtteable nOtice; This.proposed,railway runs parallel with thb old Great Western-toad froth London, throtigh Hammera smith, Brentford, Isleworth, and Hounslow, the' most pofiiid lows and largest commercial and manufacturing district within many miles of London. By its bridge across the Thames it will be the means of connecting the Northern and Western with the Southern and Eastern Counties, command ing on the Surrey side approaches to all the bridges without creating any additional metropolitan terminus. It is strange that no railway has yet been made for this dense locality, seeing that its former coach traffic was greater than in any other part of the kingdom. The Indian news received this morning is considered by the merchants here as most satisfactory. There is now but little question that trade has taken a turn in the right direction. A further improvement has taken place In the market for the public securities to day. Consols for Account have reached 96%', and for Money 96%, with a very steady de-' mand. The premium upon Exchequer-billS too is higher, sales having just been made at 265. Bank of England Stock has improved from 204% to- 205%, and the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. to 97%. The Foreign Stock Market has not been so active this morning as it was on Saturday last. Russian Five per Cents. have varied from 109% to 110%.

CORN-EXCHANGE.---MONDAY. The past week's arrivals of English Wheat coastwise were on a fair average scale ; but those of all other kinds of grain of home produce were limited. From Ireland and Scotland the receipts of Oats were small, while the imports of foreign corn were by far more limited than for some time previously. Fresh up to day, a moderate quantity of Wheat came to hand from Essex, Kent, and Cambridge shire, coastwise as well as by land carriage and samples, yet the stands were, by no means heavily filled. The attendance of both town and Country buyeis was tolerably numerous, hence the finest qualities of both red and white—which formed bat a small portion of the supply—commanded a ready sale at filly, bat at riotairg quotable beyond, the prices obtained on this day se'nuight. In the middling and inferior kinds exceedingly little business was transatted, at previous currencies, and a total clearance was not effected. The accounts received to-day from moat parts of the country re specting the general appearance of the young wheat plants state that the future prospects are good. There was rather more tree Foreign Wheat on offer, yet the inquiry for that article was very steady, and last week's prices were well supported. In Bonded Wheat a fair business was transacted for speculative purposes, bat prices underwent no change. The supply in warehouse it still on the Increase. With Barley 'a e were rather scantily supp lied. Fine Melting Parcels moved o ff steadily Irish and Distilling sorts hung on hand, yet we cannot call them cheaper. Since our last very few parcels of Malt have come to hand, conse quently at very full prices, but Grinding the show of that article to -day was small. Fine Ware par cels supported late figures. In other kinds, comparatively little business was transacted. From all parts the receipt of Oats have been scanty. Potato parcels commanded a film inquiry at extreme currencies ; while the value of all other parcels was well maintained. WheatEea Ditto, White . ••• ..

Great Portland-street, licensed victualler, under the following circumstances Between four and five o'clock en Saturday afternoon last a servant of the prosecutor's, who was in charge of the bar, had occasion to leave it for a few seconds unattefided: On returning he saw the pri soner leaning over the counter, and in the iitt of palling out the till. The prisoner grasped a portion of the contentS in his hafid and ran out of the house. The barman pursued him a very considerable distance, and, alter he had attempted to escape by getting lip behind a gentle man's-carriage proceeding at a rapid rate, he was secured. On hi, being searched, no silver money was found in his possession ; he must of course, have thrown it away as lie ran. The prosecutor was able to specify the sum taken from the till, as he had noticed the amount in it a short time previously. The prisoner, on being asked by Mr. MALTBY what he had to say in answer to the charge against him, flatly denied that he was leaning over the counter or had even touched the till. He was remanded until this day week. OVER LAND MAIL TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH. The treaty of peace between the Indian Company and the Maharaja of Lahore was signed at Lahore on the 9th March. By Art. 3, the Maharaja cedes to the Company all the terri tory comprised between the rivers Beas and Sutlej.

(From the Times and Herald.) Our dispatch, in anticipation of the Bombay mail of the Ist of April, brings the gratifying intelligence of India being at present in complete tranquillity. The late rapid campaign On the Sutlej has terminated in the complete subjugation of the Seikhs. Our correspondent has forwarded to us the Delhi Gazette Extraordinary of the 23d of 11Jarch, containing several most important docume.n/i1 connected with the treaties which were signed for the pacification of the Pun jaub. The first is a notification published by the Governor- General, and contains a note of the conference held on the Bth of March, between the British diplomatist, Mr. Currie, and the Minister and chiefs of the Lahore durbar, and also translations of two applications on behalf of the young Ma haraja Dhuleep Singh, praying for the protection of the British troops. The second document gives an account of the proceedings attendant on the treaty. The third is a memorandum of the proceedings of the durbar (public levee) held at Lahore on the 9th of March, in the state tent of the Governor-General, during which he delivered an address, which was interpreted sentence by sen tence, to the Lahore Chiefs and Minister, by Mr. Currie. The address is a remarkable document, as it explains the policy of the i3ritish Government, and the stipulations which are required from the Seikh Government. Thefourth document is the treaty of peace between the British Government and Dhuleep Singh. It is comprised in 16 articles, and cedes all the territory south of the Sutlej, and also the hill country which lies between the Bees and the Indus, including the provinces of Cashmere and Husarah. The Maharaja is to pay 50, lees (half a million sterling) on the ratification, and engages to disband all the mutinous troops of Lahore, and to keep 20,000 infantry and 12,000 cavalry, and no more. The British armies are to be allowed to pass through the Lahore territory, and all the guns pointed against the British are to be surrendered, as in tact they have been. The control of the rivers Beas and Sutlej to the Indus is vested in the British. No Europ:an or American is to be employed by the Lahore Government without the sanction of the British. Rajah Ghoolab Singh is to become an independent Sovereign .in the territories which the British may cede to him. All changes in the frontiers of the Lahore state are prohibited, and all its dis putes are to be referred to the British authorities, who are . not to interfere in its internal administration. This treaty is also remarkable in nut using the title Pun jaub or Five Rivers. The dominions of Dhuleep are confined to the Lahore state. The fifth document is the memorandum of a state visit paid by the Governor-General to the Maharaja Dhuleep Singh, at which the Lahore blinister, Dewan Deen a Nath, pronounced an address of thanks to the British leader for hi.s generosity. The sixth is a note of the proceedings of the Minister and Chiefs of Lahore, assembled together on the 11th of March in durbar, during which articles of agreement were signed for the occupation of the city of Lahore during ten mouths, in order to protect the Maharaja while organising his army. The seventh is a copy of the treaty entered into by the Governor-Gene, al with the (now) Maharaja Ghoolab Singh, to whom the British give over, in independent possession, all the hilly or mountainous country lying between the Ravee and the Indus, including of course the valley of Cashmere and the province of Bazarah and Chumba, but excluding Lahool. Ghoolab Singh is to pay half a million on the ratification of the treaty, and a quarter in October next, and is not to employ any foreigners. The British undertake to protect him against all foreign enemies ; while he and all his forces are to be ready when called on to aid the British. In ac knowledgment of British.supremacy, he engages every year to present a horse, twelve shawl goats, and three pair of Cash mere shawls. Thus the Jamoo Chief, who contrived to obtain possession of the greatest part of the treasures of old Runjeet, has been able to raise himself into the rank of an independent Ma haraja. While he was Wuzeer of Lahore he, in February last, promised to pay 1,500,000/, to the British ; but when the day of payment arrived, in March, the money was not forthcoming, and new treaties became necessary, by wh ich the Lahore Government was deprived of the Kohistan (hill country), and Ghoolab or Gholab (for his name is written both ways), having undertaken to pay half a million down and another sum of a quarter million seven months after wards, was declared an independent Baja (or rather Maha raja—Great King), with the tar-famed valley of Cashmere as his dependence. There is a remarkable omission in the Lahore treaty, to which it may be useful to awaken attention—viz., that no mention is made of the province of Moultan, which is known to have been always independent of Lahore until the reign of Runjeet Singh. The non-mention of this most important commercial fritreplit, leads to the belief that some fuither military movements for the occupation of that providce may be expected after the rainy season shall have passed over— that is, about October next. The Sinde army, which had reached Bhawulpore, was ordered to be broken up on the 10th of March, and most of the regiments returned to Sukkur, &c., in order to be sta tioned in Sinde, while the Bengal troops proceeded towards Ferozepore. Sir Charles Napier, who by a most rapid march had reached the Governor-General at Lahore on the 3d of March, and where be was received with every distinction, was to return to Sinde as Governor. Some foolish reports have been circulated of the surrender of the Indus and Siode to the Ameers, as if that great river was not now more than ever requisite for maintaining the preponderancy of the Bri tish supremacy in the north-weet of India. G enera l Si r J. Littler, at the head of 10,00 G men, is to occupy Lahore for I the remaining months of 1846 ; the Lahore Government has to defray the expense of the British troops there. The Go: vernor•General was expected to quit the Lahore state on the 20th of March, and to proceed into the newly-acquired provinces to the east of the Beas in company with Sir C. Napier, where they will to have to regulate the cantonments. It appears to be expected that the Governor-General will pass the hot and rainy months at Simla. No mention is made in the Lahore treaty of the province of Pe,hawar, of which the Affghan9, under the notorious Akbar Khan, are anxious to repossess themselves. This is ca l„:2!ed to prove a new source of discussion, and perhaps of conflict, as st zbn as the season opens for a campaign. The whole settlement of the /) anjaub indicates a great wish on the ... lie terms as quick as possible, part of both the Powers to m: and the results may be confusion am"! disputes hereafter. The Nizam's finances are still in the utmost disorder, and must speedily require the applicatjou of a strong remNlY by the paramount Government of India. The hot months had begun in India, and great complaints were heard of the want of water, in consequence of the scanty fall during the last monsoon. A famine was feared in various districts during the two months which had to elapse before the rains set in. . The nelfs from China was to the 27th of February, which we received by the last mail. The French steamer , Archimede, with M. Litgrkne on board, had arrived in Bombay harbour on the Ist of April. He appears to be making a tour of all the great ports of India, having visited Calcutta, Madras, Trincomalee, Colombo, Bombay, &c. The resolution of the Dutch Government to conquer the fertile island of Bali, with nearly 2,000,000 of inhabitants, has awakened the most indignant feelings amongst the mer chants of Singapore, as being contrary to the treaty signed by Mr. Canning and Baron Fagel on the 17th of March 1824. This island is a valuable acquisition, and it ought not, to be allowed to pass over to the cruelties of the Dutch slave owners with impunity. _ _ The Governor of Bombay, Sir George Arthur, had a severe attack of illness, but was recovering. His retirement from India was spoken of as approaching. :(From the Bombay Times of April 1.) THE PUNJAUB. The latest Lan,ze intelligence contained in our last extended to the Ist of March—the latter portion being scanty and incomplete. Ghoolab Singh had, at this Lime, been appointed Vuzzeer—the first instalment of the indemnity was saL i . to have been paid, the Khalsas were believed to be dispersing, and Lahore was garrisoned by British troops. It was a fortnight since we understood that our army would break up about the 12th, and before the 20th be entirely within our own frontier. Since then a considerable proportion of these arrangements have been altered. We shall Come to the ex planation of the changes which have occurred by and i : mean while we must take up the narrative of events in the orL i Or of their occurrence. The . village near camp, called Chooney, having been plundered, a . stern order, intimating that camp fol lowers convicted of such malpractices as this would be hung on , the spot, was issued. On the 2d the troops were inspected by the Commander-in-Chief, and presented a very fine appearance, Officers were allowed to visit the city and environs with a pass and escort, and nothing could be more orderly and respectful than 015 conduct of all classes of the people. Traffic, which en our approach Was interrupted, was renewed with double vigour, the dealers in each supplies as were required in camp .reaping an abundant har vest. The Khalsa troops came in by regiments to receive their ar reara of pay. Five months' was due to them—two were struck off; so that for the fighting portion of their service they got no re ward at all. Even that allowed them was reduced from 245. to 14s. a month— the former being the sum extorted by them since they took the regulation of allowances into their own hands-12s. was all they obtained from Rttli)eet Singh, and to this the newly organised army is to be restricted. Seventeen bullock cart-loads of rupees, amounting to 215,0001., came into camp on the sth, and the - whole of the Seikh cannon used against us, thirty-six in number, were surrendered. Sir Charles Napier, who had ar rived in camp on the 3d, was received with the most marked Consideration. Two days after Wards a general review of the. army took plaCe. Sir C. Napier was intreduceffby Sir Henry Har dinge.to bOth, the regiment he had commanded at Corunna, and in the evening a splendid entertainment was given by the Gover -2191. General. According to the .Kurrachec Advertiser (other authori ties are silent on the subject) Sir H. Hardinge asserted that he had Sent for the hero of. Meanee to take his place as second in command, as.he expectod the reduction of Lahore, Umritser, and Govindghur, to be difficult and protlaeted operations. He complimented him highly on the civil government of Stride. An entire and complete alteration began now to be found necessary in the arrangements. The jealousies existing between • Ghoolab and Lall Singh being found an insurmountable obstacle to the Vuzzeershlp, remaining in the hands of the former, the entreaties of the Queen was listened, to, and the latter nominated in his place. When the promise of a million and a half of indemnity was made, it .must have been well known to those who made it that in the treasury of the state no such sum was to be found. The hoards of Runjeet Singh had all been squandered, and by the time the arrears of the army, and the first instalment of the indemnity was paid, the last shilling was expended. The Government being unable to pay the whole of the sum they had promised, or to give satisfactory security for its eventual, payment, the whole of the territories between the Bees and the Indus,. including the provinces of Cashmere and Hazara, were Ceded "tolls In perpetuity in lieu of the million they fbund themselves unable to Make up ; the half million was paid when the treaty was ratified, Ghoolab Singh having agreed to, pay half a million now, and a quarter of a million on or before the Jet of October, had the whole Af the country last ceded to us betwifit the Beas and Indus . made OM to him, including Chainba. but excluding Lalool;• which last, we presume, makes up for the defective 25,0001.. required to bring the total up to the million and a half originally promised us. He was to recognise the supre 'macy of the British Government, and to present them annually one horse, twelve shawl goats, and three pairs of Cashmere shawls. He was to assist up with his troops whenever any army should be em ployed In his neighbourhood, and all his disputes and quarrels with those around him were to be referred to our arbitrement. No Euro pean or American, or subject of the' British Government, Was ever to be employed' by him without our consent ; in defending - himself front his enemies he was to have the benefit of our assistance. This dismemberment of the empire may be humiliating to the representatives of the rider by whose vigour it was consolidated, but tin us it is eminently expedient. We have now not one but a multitude of chiefs to deal with, in the last degree jealous of each other, with scarcely a single sentiment in common, save apprehension of us. Ten thousand British troops,. with thirty-six pieces of artillery, are, by request of the Queen, to he left at Lahore till a solid government be esta blished. They will remain till about the'end of the year, but we have pledged ourselves that then they shall be withdrawn ; the extra charges of their maintenance being met by the treasury. The fol lowing are the corps ordered to stand fast :—Day's Troop of Horse Artillery, ilorsford's Battery, Fordyce's ditto, two reserve Companies of Foot Artillery— viz., the 2d Company 2d Battalion, and 4th Com pany 4th• Battalion, the Bth and Bth Companit s or Sappers aad Miners, 'a wing of the 2d Irregular Cavalry, two IS-pounders, 'two 8-inch howitzers, her Majesty's 80th Foot, the 6th, 12th, 27th 42d, 43d, 45th, 47th, and 68th Native Infantry. The Commander-in- Chief had made a Short sweep of the fortresses near the capital, with a view especially of examining :hose of Umritser and Govindghur, of which, we should imagine, plaits Are likely to be taken. His ab sence was expected to be of short duration : his final departure from Lahore was fixed for the 18th or 20th. Sir John Littler had moved his troops somewhat to the south-west, and the new camp was esta blished considerably more near than the former one to the capital. A portion of the Seikh army is to be re-embodied for the service of the state,- and paid at the rate allowed them ui.der Runjeet Singh— sixpence per diem or thereabouts : it is to consist of 25 battalions of infantry, 800 strong, with 12,000 cavalry=or 32,000 in' all, and on no account to be increased without our consent. How a body of some 50,000 discontented and vindictive men are hereafter to be kept quiet or disposed of, must be matter of the gravest concernment to their own Government as well as ours • and it seems not unlikely that inducements may by-and-bye to held out to them to join the ranks of the British army, The Jullander Doab proves on exami nation to be more rich and fertile than it was supposed to be. The Seikh prejudices are so strong against the killing of the sacred cow, that as few Europeans as possible are to be quartered in our new dominions.

We yesterday received the treaty, with relative correspondence, by special express. GOVERNMENT :NOTIFICATION. Foreign Department, Camp Utialitse7,il; . 16th March, 1846. The Right' Honourable the Governor-General of India has been -pleased to direct the publication for general information, of the sub joined extracts from the proceedings of the Government of India, re latiVe to the re-establishment of amicable relations between the British Government and the State of Lahore, and the recognition of the independence of Maharaja Ghoolab Singh. Note of conference between F. Currie, Esq., and Major H. M, Law rence, on the one, part,. and the Minister and Chiefs of the Lahore Durbar on the other, Bth March, 1846. The Ministers and Chiefs having assembled at the tent of the Governor-General's agent, for the purpose of signing the treaty, the conditions of which had been previously discussed and denTmined, produced, on the part.of the Maharaja, a letter addressed to Major Lawrence, the Governor-General's agent, of which the follswing is a translation " The feelings of consideration, kindness, and generosity which have been evinced towards the Lahore state by the Right Hon. the Governor-General, and his Excellency's respect for the former friendship of the British Government, with the late Maharaja Ruti jeer Singh, have been communicated to me ,through Mr. Secretary Currie and yourself, and have caused me to feel most grateful. " Certain important matters will now he represented to you by the following confidential personages . Bhace Ram Singh, Rajah Lal Singh, Sirdar Tej Singh, Dewar Deenanath, Fuqueer Noor-ood-deen, and yon, who are the guardian of the perpetual friendship of the two Governments, will represent these matters to the Governor-General, and will, doubtless, use your endeavours to procure a favourable de cision regarding them. `• The Lahore Government, it is known, is endeavouring to ar range its affair s, and it Is necessary that effectual ,measuies should be taken to prevent the recurrence of any disturbances. With this view it it is very desirable that some British regiments, with artil lery and officers, should be directed to remain at Lahore for a feW months for the protection of the State. Alter affairs have been sa tisfactorily settled, and the period which may be fixed upon expired, the British troops will then return." To the above paper the following reply was made verbally, and was, at the request of the Minister and Chiefs, written down and given to them:— " The letter from the Maharpja to Major Lawrence, expressing gratitude to the Governor-General, has been read in presence of the Minister and Chleib of the durbar. At the close of that letter, it is requested that a British force may be left at Lahore air a limited period. " Upon this, it to be observed, that from the wording of the letter, it is not evident that the retention of a British force at Lahore is sincerely and urgently desired by the Lahore Governraert, and the nature of the WsturJances which are to be provided against are net specifically described. In so. Important a matter general expressions are out of place. The British Government desires to exercise no in terference with the Government of Lahore after the treaty of peace is concluded, and the Governor-General is not witting to have any concern with the Lahore Government, or to accede to any measure not provided tor by the treaty. This has been repeatedly =dallied to the Lahore durbar. If, there ore, tor any special reason, and on any particular account, the as' stance and intervention of the British Government are desired by the Lahore durbar, the fact should have b2en more distinctly st,:ted in the Khur recta, and the causes which rerder suck aid fndispensablo should have been given in detail. However, as the Maharaja has au thorised the chief named in the Khurreeta, and who are present, to make known all the particulars of the case, they should now state all the circumstances in Mil." the Minister and Chle.'s aster consultation, read aloud the sub stance of the paper, of which the following is a translation, but re quested that it tni•;ht ba pat in the form of a Khurreeta from the 2lahtuaja and Lent in the evening. A communication was then made to the Governor-General, who determined that a British force stioula, under certain conditions, to be entered In a separate engage ment, occupy Lahore for a limited time ; the treaty was then signed by the commissioners, and the meeting broke up. TRANSLATION OF DOCUM.ONT ALLUDED TO IN PRECEDING PARAGRAPH, AFTERWARDS SENT FROM THE DURBAR AS A ronusf, RHURREETA WITH THE SEAL OF THE MAHARAJA. " All the circumstances regarding the disorganisation of the Go vernment of Lahore since the demise of the late Maharaja Itunjeet Singh until the present time are well known to the British Govern ment. " The satisfactory settlement of affairs, the discharge of the dis turbers of public peace, aid the reorganisation of the army under the stipulations of the new treaty, are now enga3ing consideration. But lest after the departure of the British forces the evil dispoAd should creme fresh disturbat,ces, and endeavour to ruin the state, it is the earnest and sincere desire and hope of the Lahore durbar that British troops with intelligent officers should, for some months, as circumstances may seem to require, be left at Lahore or the protection of the Government and the Maharaja and the Inha and bitanthets of the city. When affairs have been satisfactoilly se ttled, period prescribed for the stay of the Briti s h force shall have expired, the troops may then be withdrawn." (True note and translations.) (Signed) F.

MEMORANDUM OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF A DURBA HELD AT LAHORE ON THE 9TH OF MARCH, 1846. At four P.M. of the 9th March, a public durbn was held in the state tent of the Right Hon. the Governor-General, at which his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief and staff, his Excellency the Governor of Sinde and staff, with the British and native officers, invited by the Governor General's order, dated Bth instant, attended. The young Maharaja of Lahore, attended by the Minister Rsja Lall Singh, Raja Ghoolab Singh, the Commander-in• Chief of the Lahore army, Sirdar Tej Singh, and about thirty other Birders and civil °Ulcers, with their suites, being present. After the treaty of peace was ratified and exchanged with the usual ceremonies, the Governor-General addressed the chiefs in the. following terms, the address being translated, sentence by sentence, by the secretary to the Government of India, Mr. F. Currie :-- "On this occasion of ratifying the treaty of peace between the British Government and the Maharaja Dhuleep Singh, in the pr.e• sence of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, his Excellency the Governor of Sinde, and the officers of the British army on the onV hand, and of the Seikh Chiefs on the other, I have to repeat the' assurances which have so often been given by me and by my prede cessors, of our desire that peace and friendship may always subsist between the two Governments. " The British Government desires to see a Seikh Government re established which may be able to control its army, protect its sub jects, and willing to respect the rights of its neighbours. "By this treaty the Lahore Government has sufficient strength to i resist and punish any native power which may venture to assail it. and to put down all internal commotions. " Wisdom in council and good faith in fulfilling its engagements will cause the Seikh Government to be respected, and enable it to pre serve its national independence. . " For forty years it was the policy, in Itunjeet Singh's time, to cultivate friendly relations bet Ween the two Governments, and during the whole of that period the Seikh nation was independent and happy. Let the policy of that able man towards the British Govern ment be the model for your future imitation. "The British Government in no respect provoked the late war. It had rici objects , of aggrandisement to obtain by hostilities. The proof of its sincerity is to be found in its moderation in the hour of victory. _ _ "A just quarrel, followed by a successful war, has not changed the policy of the British Government.. the British Goyemmentdoes not desire to interfere in your internal affairs. lam ready and anxious • to withdraw every British soldier from Lahore. At the earnest soli citation of the &Mt Government, I have reluctantly consented to , • leave a British force In garrison at Lahore until time shall have been afforded for the ye-organization of the Seikh army, by which assist ance the stipulations of the treaty may be more easily carried into effect:._...., " In ncr case can I , consent that the British troops shall remain in garri,on for a longer period than the end of this year. " I state this publicly, that all the world may know the truth. and the motives by which I am actuated in this matter. " The Seikh army must, according to the treaty, be immediately reorganised by adverting to the same system and rate of pay as in Runjeet Singles time. " If the friendly assistance now afforded by the British Govern ment be wisely followed up, and honest exertions made by the chiefs without delay, you will become an independsnt and prnsPerou S state. " The success or failure is in your own hands : my co-opers: tion' shall not be wanting, but if you neglect this opportunity, no aid ow the part of the British Government can save the state. leave my political agent, Major Lawrence, assisted by Majcl M`Gregor and a most able general officer, Sir John Littler, to coat=' mand the British troops. These officers possess my entire confidence " Again I repeat that my anxious desire is to see the Seikh Govern ment strong and respected, an obedient army, patriotic chiefs, and happy people, trust the reign of the Maharaja will be long and prosperous. and celebrated for the happiness of his people under .a just and pacific Government," At the close of this address, the Sirdars expressed in warm ternul their gratitnde to the Governor-General, and their resointion to follow the advice his Excellency had given. The usual presents were then given, after which the durbar broke up. (Signed) F. CURRIE, Secretary to the Government of India, with thi • Governor-General.
