Altogether, nothing could be more satisfactory than the discussion which took place on Tuesday evening in the House of Cornnons in reference to the question of the Foreign Refugees. Considering that a portion of the dispatches relating to this important subject had already been laid upon the table, it was only reason able to expect that the rest of the papers not yet published should be forthwith printed, end more es pecially so , bearing in recollection the fact that tht corres Pendence referred to hag finally terminated uetweet, o u r own menu. 1 11 , 1' own and the Continental Govern his acco : to las. consequently, with more even than morne e earnestness that the Noble „ Lord the representati ve tAti v matter once of Alarylebone brought the Legislature. p ossi Ver the notice of the Imperial larly incited by the eT;:: so doing, he was particu wynitshtance of the severe disap pointment experien ce d existing Cabinet to con sent to t e i h r Vied refusal of the of the desired documents, notwithstanding th® faiasue rable assurances • previously vouchsafed by t h e r_ %la Honourable Geontlemai the CetAxcer i ee a "' the E All that Lad DIIPLA7 sivu x ICREQUAL '44°4 ligo4 the THE subject was simply ,this—that the dispatcher, which merely brought the correspondence to the' April of 1850, shuuld be continued down to their conclusion on the Ist of last September. It was only natural, of course, and what might alone have been reason ably expected in the matter, that the anxiety felt in regard to the safety of the refugees from Hungary at the period when they were prisoners in the European, and subsequently in the Asiatic do minions of the SULTAN—RD anxiety which had already been somewhat appeased even when those unfortunate patriots were still in " durance vile" —should at length be fully satisfied, now that they have long since rejoiced in the luxuries of liberation. The most perfect confidence was felt, moreover, from the outset, that Lord PAL MERSTON had acted throughout this remarkable cor respondence in a manner becoming alike his ex tended popularity and his elevated reputation. Be sides which, it was universally believed, that in spite of all the vain-glorious boasting of the United States, that the emancipatien of KOSSUTH and bis com patriots was attributable, .in the first place to the magnanimous remonstrances, to the reiterated de mands, to the noble and spontaneous interference in their behalf, made in the name of the English people on the part of the British Government. For a variety of reasons, therefore, it was manifestly most desirable that the papers requested by the Noble Lord the Member for Marylebone should as speedily as pos sible be laid on the table of the Legislature. Happily, it will have been observed that towards the close of the discussion on Tuesday, notwithstand ing the original objection expressed by the Ministry to produce the documents in question, on the score I that their issue might be distasteful to the Cabinets of Vienna and St. Petereburgh, the motion of Lord DUDLEY STUART, seconded by the veteran representative of Montrose, was at length very grace fully and courteously acceded to by the Right Hon. Gentleman the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. The manly and persuasive declarations of Lord PAL MERSTON effectually dissipated whatever doubts, as to the propriety of giving these long withheld communi cations to the Parliamentary printer, had induced the Ministry to decline the responsibility of their publi cation. We may now consequently look forward, with confidence, to the speedy acquisition of docu mentary evidence, proving be.) and the possibility of denial that the policy of Lord PALMER•ITON was in reference to Turkey what it was in reference to Greece, that it was in reference to Louis Kos- MTH what it was in reference to Louis NAPOLEON— a policy worthy of a liberal and enlightened states man, a policy worthy of England and not unworthy of PALMERSTON. It will then be perceived that it was in reality the British Government, and not the Government alone of the United States, that induced the Sublime Porte to consent at lest to the liberation of the captives of Kutayab—demonstrating the assertion of the Noble Lord the Member for the borough of Marylebone, that the Mississippi might have remained at the Dardanelles if it had not been for the energetic representations made by Viscount PALMERSTON upon this subject, in the name of the British Government. We can not - .but think that the taunt: subsequently directed against the existing Cabinet, to the effect that the circumstance of its withholding these papers appeared to be something like want of gene rosity to the late Administration, was, more than anything else that fell from the lips of Lord DUDLEY STUART—the preux chevalier of the unfortunate patriots exiled from Poland and from Hungary—effec tual i n c h ang ing the determination arrived at in this matter by the members of her MAererv's Govern ment. Stung by that unwelcome accusation, the einem - CELLO& of the EXCHFOUER repudiated in plain terms any such intention on his own part, or o n th e p art o f hi s Ministerial colleagues, maintaining that their only solicitude upon the eulject had been that, by the publication of these final papers of the correspondence, the Cabinet might be reviving f ee li ngs now happily long since allayed, and which might, the Right Hon. Gentleman intimated, provoke anew the acrimonious sentiments excited between certain Governments. Fortunately, 93 we have already shown, these im pressions were removed from the mind of the leader of the Miuisterial phalanx in the House of Commons by the plain-spoken and magnanim ous statements made on Tuesday evening, in that House, by Viscount PALMERSTON. That the late Foreign Secretary should have spoken thus caneidly in regard to his prolonged correspondence with the Court of Constantinople, was not, of course, for an instant matter for any de• glee of astonishment upon a subject which ext - ,rted in his favour even from Lord JOHN RUSSELL the most fervent and explicit congratulations. " I con • Sider," said the ex-Peewee, " that it was an honour to this country to tak the part it did take in reference to these refugees." That sentence alone amounted to a virtual panegyric upon the foreign po licy of Lord PALMERE.TON, for to Lord PALMERSTON peculiarly and personally were attributable all those eernest interpositions between the SULTAN and the KAISER, or yet more between the SULTAN and the AUTOCRAT, which conducted Louis KOSSUTH at last from his confinement at Kutaysh, and enabled him to step upon the deck of the American steam-ship, the Mississippi. Before many days have elapsed the country will be enabled to estimate with greater ac curacy, through the assistance of the forthcoming do cuments, the value of that enlightened and pa triotic policy which has not only shielded every E. glishman with the exclamation, Civis Britannic= sum, but has extended the hand of friend ship to weakness assailed by despotism, and, while acting thus boldly, has nevertheless preserved unin. terrupted peace in the midst of a prolonged series o revolutions. There can be no doubt that the man so long " coming" hag, at length, arrived. Henceforward Sir FITZROY KELLY will be the Magnus Apollo of Protection, and DERBY and DISRAELI, aye, even GEORGE FREDERICK YOUNG himself, must pale their lesser lights before the superior brilliancy of the ~ewly arisen luminary. The SOLICITOR •GENERAL has unquestionably exhibited one qualification for the championship of the cause. He has evinced a degree of ingenuity in getting rid of the most inconve nient matters becoming his nisi prius reputa tion. " Them there facts are stubborn things," said a worthy Alderman. They might have been so in the olden times, but they are " trifles light as air" in the hands of such a master o. . . his art as the Hon. Member for Harwich, the candi date for East Sussex. Every point admitting of doubt wilt be disputed to the uttermost, but those re 4poetitig which there can be no controversy will be .' confeesed and avoided " in the most artiatical manner. The Honourable Gentleman, with a can dour which does him infinite credit, acknowledges hat "in the year 1850 we had imported fully 3,000,000 quarters of corn more than in 1846 :' ( this mi g ht Appear a damaging admission if proceed tilg f rom another and less adroit advocate. It would seem to prove that so much more bread found its way into the cottages of the lets wealthy daises, b y whom any increase in the price of " the staff of life can only be provided for by a diminution in the quantity consumed. Sir FITZROY KELLY, however, with a hardihuod of assertion which must strongly re commend him to the sturdy bucolics, boldly la that if we had i mported more, we had produced less, , and that we had sold in Great Britain anal Ireland 3,000,000 quarter s o f home-grown core less i n 1850 than in 1846—the result being" that the people of this country have not had one pound weight 9f bread more to eat in 1850 than when the 3,000,000 quarters of corn were grown in this country in 1846:' Hear this, ye labourers, who have, mirabile dictu, had sufficient bread, albeit of the coarsest description, for your nu merous famine., who have been enabled to allow what our continental neighbours denominate " pain a discretion" to the curly-headed varlets, and are not compelled to entrust your careful wives with the im portant duty of dividing with nice and discriminating hands the number of loaves that could be obtained among the numerous claimants. It is not merely chat ye have not had " more" bread than in the year 1846 when the price of the quartern loaf was ls. or upwards, but you have really had less; for there has, unquestionably, been an increase of popu lation in the interim, and if there has not been " pound of bread more to eat," and the same quantity was divided among more numerous mouths, it neces sarily follovys that each person must have You are the hest had couiiderabli less' LONDON, and most unexceptionable witnesses, and on such a point it is to the testimony of the - fri‘ ze-coated sten, and not of the wearers of broad cloth, that we should look with interest. Let those persons speak, and we shall speedily learn whether or not they have been more scantily provided than in the " dear year" of 1846. But the Honourable and Learned Gentleman puts forward a second and not less startling assertion, that "it is better that bread should remain at its former price," better that the labourers should pay tribute to the farmers, that they should be contented with half diet, so long as the grandeur of the territorial aristo. cracy were maintained intact. But it is only by maintaining the question, which even Mr. G. F. YOUNG has at length admitted to be impracticable, that Sir FITZROY KELLY can help the agriculturists. He will not give any pledge re specting the malt tax, nor will he enter into fiscal matters until after the financial statement. We have long since pointed out to the farmers that their real interest was to promote the fiscal and monetary reforms that would afford true protection to every description of British industry. They suffered under unfair taxation—they should demand an equaliz Ilion of the local burdens ; the poor-rates should be justly and fairly apportioned; for there is as solemn an obligation on fundholdere, and other owners of personal property, to contri bute to the relief of their distressed brethren as there is on the proprietors of real estates. There is no reason why the entire expense of criminal proseeutions should fall on the agriculturists. Is not the man with one thousand sovereigns in his pocket as likely to be robbed, as the ocecupier of one thousand acres of lani? What class more loudly demands an equitable adjustment of the income-tax, tied the removal of the charge on industry ? ; In every re spect they must seek fiscal relief. It is absurd to suppose that they can set up the injustice under which they are suffering in one respect as a suffi cient authority to entitle them to plunder their fel low-subjects with impunity. But there is another point to which they should even more earnestly direct their attention, and from which, under , existing circumstances, tl7ey may obtain important relief without any great difficulty. We have long and energeti cally endeavoured to promote the great cause of monetary reform, to show that the evils under which the nation—and more especially the farmers — so long groaned, were chiefly, if not altogether, ascribable to the infamous code, which by unduly appreciating the value of money, and limiting the amount of the circulating medium, double rivetted the chains of the debtors, and brought ruin to the door of many an honest farmer. When the pur chasing power of the pound was increased in a two fold ratio they felt the change more than any others. Their rents were practically doubled, their rates and taxes similarly augmented, while they ignorantly ascribed the evils under which they were suffering to the removal of protective imposts, which were really owing to another and a very different cause. Let them, then, direct their attention to this all-important question—let them read the communi cation which will be found in another part of this day's impression, by which they will find the real change in the value of money ; and they will see that their true interests will be pr o m o ted by those who exert themselves on these points, rather than in endeavouring to keep up the delusion of the possi bility of a return to protective imposts. THE FRENCII REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Constitutionnel of Tuesday had an article main taining that the sending of the budget to the Council of State, instead of the Corps Legislatif is an inva sion of the rights of the representatives of the people. The right of the Government to send the budget to the Council of State as if it were an ordinary law is disputed and contested. It is the Corps Legislatif alone which is entitled to examine the Budget iu every point of view, whether political, administrative, or financial, and any interference with this right is boldly repelled as an act of usurpation and au invasion of the privileges of the Parliament. By seudi ig the budget to the Council of State, and so treating it as an ordinary law, it is, according to the Constitutionnel, taken out of the hands of the Minister of Finance, who is precluded from drawing up the exposé des motifs, which is, in fact, a general view of the ex n ci of the ditTertnt service, , , and of the expenses set dered incumbent by the general political situation of the Government. Be it says— Let us now follow the budget to the Corps Legieatif Who is to furnish tee nemazary explanations to the committee named by the ATsenibl ? Who will sustain Vie debate heture the Chamber? A deputation of some members of the Council of State. But is not this calcu lated, in fact, to render all do,cussiun in some degree illusory ? flow can these Councillors of State answer all the questions that should necessarily arias.? Can they proclaim the principles which guide the Govern ment in its foreign and domesde Vibe) , ? Can they give information as to the economical doctrines by which our industrial and commercial interests are to be managed? Can they be possibly so well acquainted with the nature and particulars of our public services as to be able to re fute the objections of all kids that might arise as to their organiz.tion? Evidently not. The Council of State, which not preparing the budget itself, but receiv ing it ready made from the hands of Government itself, could not by possibility sustain the discussion. The re mission of the budget to the Council of State is there fore to be regretted. It tends to take that body from its natural sphere, to launch it into invasions of power, and to render null the debate on the financial law, by con fiding its defence to those who have not prepared it— who bavo not been initiated into the political, economi cal, and financial principles according to which it has been regulated by the Government, alone responsible. It is the more unfortunate btcause the matter shows forgetfulue:s of the feelings of the country, which are peculiarly susceptible with regard to questions of money." In reply to this, we may call it " opposition" arti cle, the Patrie of that evening published the follow ing " communicated" note "The Constitationne/, after having at great length established (tt thing which is incontestable) that the Legislative Body beg the right of discussing and voting, article by article, the budget of exp enses , ma i nta i ns th at the Council of State cannot be called on to examine either the budget or the amendments which may be pro posed to it by the Legislative Body. The Constitutionna reasons on old Parliamentary tiaditiont, and fn'ms an erroneous opinion of the actual chariot -r of the Council of State. Why should it be interdicted to the Presi dent of the Republic, after having provisionally decided on the receipts and expenses with his Ministers, to consult the Council of S ate h.forn sending the Bill on the finances to the Legislative Body? This preliminary examination of the Council of State is justified by the double motive that the budget is to be supported by com missions chosen from the Council of State, and that Article 40 of the Constitution submits to it all amt nd ments presented by the Legislative Body without ex ception." The budget for 1853 is to be presented in a short time. It shows, it is said, notable economies, amount. ing to nearly thirty millions over the budget of 1852, thus establishing a real equilibrium. The Journal des Dibats attacks the last circular of the Mini:der of Police. Certainly the functions of the Corps Legislay would be approximated to z- - -re, by the new police system, as explained by M. DE MAtir.as. The police inPpectors would become the intermediate representatives between the execu tive and the people. The Debats says : " We will only make one remark on this circular. The necessity which the superior authority for such frequent instructions to these new functionaries seems to Justify the little favour this institution has met with at the hands or the public. In seeing this new ma. chintry work so plainly, may not one rationally con clude that it has no natural end useful place to fill in our administrative institulons ? Such an opinion would probably be confirmed ny a close examination of the attributions of those agents as defined by the new Ministerial circular. Would it not be better than to abandon an institution which creates such embarrass ments in the way of the general march of the adminis tration, and whose utility it so problematical ? Such is the question naturally suggested by the new circular, but which we have not the pretension to solve." The Charivari has (says the Pattie) received an official warning from the Minister of Police. which is at present occupied with project d ireiaroiln t from Rheims to the Belgian connect the French lines with a The frontier,Commission, those of that country, were on Monday presented to the ParscE PRESIDENT, by the deputies of the Arden nes and the Aisne. After listening attentively to the observations of the Commission and the deputies, the PRESIDENT admitted the importance of the question, and gave them hopes that it would be favourably at tended to. The distribution of the eagles is postponed to the 15 th, to give time to the National Guards to be pre pared for th e ceremony. The mortal rema i ns o f P r i n ce PAUL of Wurtem berg wer e on Madeleine, and a funeral service too k p l ace on th e Tuesday deposited in the vaults of the occasion. "It seems positive," says the Public, " that a camp of 0,000 men is to be established at Compiegne. It is to be commanded by the PRESIDENT in person, and grand manoeuvres are to be executed there." The Presse says " It appears that the negotiations relative to the rati fication of the treaty oncluded sy reds by the interns- SUN, THURSDAY tknal sanitary commission are not yet terminated.

The sum drawn out was 3 77,617 f. The chairmakers in the Faubourg St. Antoine, who have struck for an advance of wages, have all returned to their work in consequence of the inter vention at once kind and energetic of the Prefect of Police._ The PRESIDENT having heard of Fome questionable transactions at the Bourse, in which near friends of the Elyeee were said to be implicated lately, made a very serious speech to his assembled military house hold, in which he reminded the members of that body of the fatal influence which corruption in pecuniary matters bad had upon the destinies of the late mo narchy-, and added that the least laxity in this respect that came to his knowledge would be summarily pu nished. But while he gave these warnings, he affected to believe that no one about him could ever be guilty of such an offence. The Belgian papers have been warned that they will be stopped at the frontier unless they cease to forestall at Paris the accounts given in the Maniteur of the sittings of the Legislative Body. M.

SPAIN Accounts from Madrid are of the 16th inst. The QUEEN has abandoned her intended trip to Andalusia or the Basque provinces. The Epoco says that M. FOULD , who is at present in Madrid, h a d an i n t en tion to make some advanta geous p ropos i tion respec ti n g the floating d e bt o f Spain. There was a rumour of an intention to dissolve the Chamber of Deputies, and assemble the new Cortes in September. The Herald° states that it had again been sailed by the police, and compelled to get up a new edition. The Three per Cents. were done at 45i for time; the New Throe per Cents. at 22i; the Debt of the First Class at 9, and that of the Seeond at 51. GERMANY. Letters from Vienna state that Count DE BOUL• SCHAUENSTEIN, Minister of Foreign Affairs and o f the Imperial house, is to be President of the " Con ferences o f Mi n i s t ers ," instead of M. DE BACH. The word "Conferences" is used a s the Ministers are no longer,, to meet as a deliberative council, resolving questions by the majority or votes, but simply as a body of hi g h functionaries to. discuss questions of which th e f o rmal decision is to be left to the EMPEROR. The Austrian Lloyds of Vienna says that it is not true, as recently stated by the Journal des Debats, that diplomatic con ferences are to take pl ace a t Lon don to regulate the success ion to the Da n i s h Th rone. Jr decla res th a t the question was settled by the five powers before the Austria n troops left the Duchies. _ AtCtaorltsrrylmemlivaist. j ASTIAN, CH ARLES MEYER, week the Court of Assizes pro ceededand FERDINAND FLOCOND, of Strasburg,' for having printed and published in a newspaper, called the De. mocrate Rhenan, articles insult ing to the Grand Duke of BADEN, and calculated to compromise public tran quillity in the Grand Duchy. The accused did not appear, and they were condemned by default, the former to thirty, the second to twenty, and the third to fourteen month3' imprisonment. As the three con demned are Frenchmen, and as their offence is poli tical, the Government of Baden has not the right to demand their extradition. In consequence of the great lack of workmen, and e-pecially mechanics in Vi'nna, the price of labour hqs risen considerably. This has been chiefly occa sioned by the extradition of a large body of men trom Upper Germany by the new police regulations, beccape they were unable to show their legitimation passport. The number of workpeople now employed in the Austrian capital is as follows :—Silk and velvet rib bon makers, 1,750 journeymen, 1,600 women, and 622 apprentices ; silk factories, 2,950 journeymen, 7,250 women, 619 male apprentices, 700 female ditto; woollen weavers, 3,400 journeymen, 7'oo ap prentices, and 1,000 women ditto ; tailors, 4,000 journeymen, and 2.100 apprentices; smiths, 3,600 journeymen, and 1,000 apprentices; shoemakers, 3,500 journeymen, 1,300 apprentices ; bakers, 1,500 journeymen; butchers, 1,000 journeymen; gold workers, 900 journeymen ; glovers, 3,000 work women, and 500 apprentices. The silver mine at Deutschlol, in Bohemia, which was discovered in 1850, has produced the enormous quantity of 40 cwt. of pure silver, during the six months that it has been worked. In consequence of this realisation, the :Government has ordered the working of the other silver mines in Bohemia (eleven in number), which have been abandoned, for more than a century, to be again worked with great activity. A number of miners have already been hired for this object in Austria, Saxony, and Prussian Silesia. TURKEY. A statement contained in the Journal of Constanti nople leads to the belief that the differences respect ing the holy places are not definitively settled. The commission for settling the Turkish and Per sian frontiers have terminated their labours. The frontier is fixed from Mount Kenent to the town of Mandelegin, on the Arabian frontier. The Pate continues to increase its naval force. Two brigs have just been launched in the presence of the SULTAN.' Others are constructing. Admiral DESFUSSES is still at anchor before Constantinople in the Pandore. The Government show him every mark of respect. GREECE. We have the following intelligence from Athens, dated the 6th iostant:— Chamber ba; already separated for the holi days. The last sitting was rather of an extraordinary nature, and raised quite a commotion in the city. Before the Ministers were on the bench several De puties addressed an interpellation to them regarding the reports of a conspiracy to assassinate the Mo- ICARCH and subvert the constitution, declaring, at the same time, that the Chamber would continue to sit the Ministry should reply. Several hours elaped, and the lengthened sitting of the House having been carried abroad, the city was quite in an uproar. The Minister of Justice at length arrived, and stated, with much calmness and deliberation, that there had indeed been reports of such a conspiracy, but that the Government was so per f ectly persuaded of their unfoundedness that it had been determined to take no notice of them, nor wi.uld a judicial inquiry have been instituted unless to quell the alarm that had been excited in the public mind. The explanation satisfied the Chamber, which was accordingly adjourned for the holidays. This (the fitt) is the anniversary of the freedom of Greece, but the weather is cold and wet, and there will consequently be nothing save the ecclesiastical ceremonies and the ) Dawn, at which the KING and Qum( will be present. The winter still continues. Rain and snow, and bleak north wind, quite unheard of at this season of the year.

The Directors of the Bank of England, at their meet• ing this morning, have decided to lower the minimum rate of discount from 2i to 2 per cent. on bills of ex change.
