Altogether, nothing could be more satisfactory than the discussion which took place on Tuesday evening in the House of Commons in• reference to the question of the Foreign Refugees. Considering that a portion of the dispatches relating to this important subject had already bec‘n laid upon the table, it was only reason able to expect that the rest of the papers not yet published should be forthwith printed, and more es pecially le, heath) • r corresp ondence g In rcollection the fact that the referred to hes finally terminated between oi l men t,. It % own and the Continental Govern his accustur,:.l consequently, with more even tha n e ; asnestn els that the Noble "rtat Lord the reprematter once m ore u::: of Mary lebone brought the the notice of the Imperial Legislature. Posiibl: incited by the e l muna 7 ta ds ing, he was particu larlyof the severe disap • pointment experienced by tae impli ed thinep.lied refusal of the existing Cabinet to consent to of the desired documents, notwithstanding the favo urable.,.. ;t assurances of."theh Honourable previously vouchsafed by the Gentleman the CHANCELLOR, All that Lord DUaLET STUART de s i r .: Calc l TJ Eß. '-* 12 1 /01 a the SUN, subject was simply:this—that the dispatches, which merely brought the correspondence to the April of 1850, should 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—an anxiety which bad 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 emancipation of KOSSUTH and his 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 that their issue might be distasteful to the Cabinets of Vienna and St. Petersburgb, 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 beyond the possibility of denial that the policy of Lord PALMERSTON was in reference to Turkey what it was in reference to Greece, that it was in reference to Louts Kos- SIITH 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 last to the liberation of the captives of Kutayah—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 fete 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 in changing the determination arrived at in this matter by the members of her MAJESTY'S Govern ment. Stung by that unwelcome accusation, the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEOUER repudiated in plain terms any such intention on his own part, or on the part of his Ministerial colleagues, maintaining that their only solicitude upon the subject had been that, by the publication of these final papers of the correspondence, the Cabinet might be rev iving feelings now h app ily long since allayed , and which might , the Right Hon. Gentleman intimated, provoke anew the acrimonious sentiments excited between certain Governments. Fortunately, as we have already shown, these im pressions were removed from the mind of the leader of the Ministerial phalanx in the House of Commons by the plain-spoken an' magnanimous statements made on Tuesday evening, in that House, by Viscount PALMERSTON. That the late Foreign Secretary should have spoken thus candidly in regard to his prolonged correspondence with the Court of Constantinople, was not, of course, fcr an instant matter for any de glee of astonishment upon a subject which extorted in his favour even from Lord JOHN RUSSELL the most fervent and explicit congratulations. " I con• eider," said the ex-Paeettea, " that it was an hozour to this country to tsks 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 PALMERSTON, for to Lord PALMERSTON peculiarly and personally were attributable all those earnest 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 Kutayah, 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 valae of that enlightened and pa triotic policy which has not only shielded every Englishman with the exclamation, Civis Britannicus 87/M, 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 of revolutions. There can be no doubt that the man so long '` coming" has, at length, arrived. Henceforward Sir FITZROY KELLY will be the ill gnus Apollo of Protection, and DERBY and DasnAum, aye, even GEORGE FREDERICK YOUNG himself, mist pale their lesser lights before the superior brilliancy of the newly 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 of his art as the Hon. Member for Harwich, the candi date for East Sussei. Every point admitting of doubt will be disputed to the uttermost, but those re specting which there can be no controversy will be " confessed and avoided " in the most artistical manner. The Hon o urable Gentleman, with a can dour w hi c h d oes hi m i n fi n i te cre dit, acknowledges that "in the year 1850 we had imported fully 3 ,000,000 quar t ers o f corn more th an in 1846." This might appear a damaging admission if proceed ing from another and less adroit advocate. It w ould seem to prove that so much more bread found its way wwahyom an y iotothe cottages of the less wealthy classes, increase in the price of " the staff of life c an onl y be p rov id e d f or b y a di m i nut i on i n th e quantity consumed. Sir FITZROY KE LLY , h ow ever, with a hardih ood of assertion which must strongly re commend him to the sturdy bucolics, boldly declares, that if we had imported more , we h a d pro d uce d less, and that we had sold in Great Britain and Ireland 3,000,000 quarters of horn .. grown corn less in 1860 than in 1846—the result being « that the people of this co untry have not had one pound wei g ht o f b rea d more to . r e eat grown in 1850 than 3,000,000 quarters of corn thet 3 ryin 1846. Hear this, y e ergwninthis whenco coun try l a b oure rs, who have, mirabile di ctu, had sufficient bread, albeit of the coarsest descrip tion , for your nu merous families, who have been enabled to allow wh at o ur continental neighbours denominate ‘ , p a i n e i t 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 handi the number of loaves that could he obtained among the numerous claimants. It is not merely that ye have not had " snore" 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 b een " a pound of bread more to eat," and the same quantity was divided among more numerous mouths, it neces each person must have sarily follows that bad considerably You are the best • - LON DON, and most unexceptionable witnesses, and on such a point it is to the testimony of the frieze-coated men, 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 equalization of the local burdens ; the poor-rates should be justly and fairly apportioned; for there is as solemn an obligation on fundholders, 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 prosecutions should fall on the agriculturists. Is not the man with one thousand sovereigns in his pocket as likely to be robbed as the occcupier of one thousand acres of land? What class more loudly demands an equitable adjustment of the income-tax, and 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, they 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 impost s , 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 he 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 promoted 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 FRENCH 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 in every point of view, whether political, administrative, or financial, and any interference with this right is boldly repelled as an act of usurpation and en invasion of the privileges of the Parliament. By sending the budget to the Council of State, and so treating it as an ordinary law, it is, according to the Constitution/a, 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 exigen cies of the different services, and of the expenses ren dered incumbent by the general political situation of the Government. But it says— " Let us now follow the budget to the Corps Legislatif Who is to furnish the necessary expl.mations to the committee named by the Assembly ? Who will sustain the debate before the Chamber? A deputation of some members of the Council of State. But is not this calcu lated, in fact, to render all discussion in some degree illusory ? How can these Councillors of State answer all the questions that should necessarily arise? Can they proclaim the principles which guide the Govern ment in its foreign and domestic policy? 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 kinds that might arise as to their organization? 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 have 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 because the matter shows forgetfulness 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 Constitutionnel, after having at great length established (a thing which is incontestable) that the Legislative Body has the right of discussing and voting, article by article, the budget of expenses, maintains that 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 Constitutionnel reasons on old Parliamentary traditions, and forms an erroneous opinion of the actual character 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 State before 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 amend 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 1652, thus establishing a real equilibrium. The Journal - des Dlbats attacks the last circular of the Minister of Police. Certainly the functions of the Corps Legislutif would be approximated to zero, by the new police system, as explained by M. DE Maurer. The police inspectors would become the intermediate representatives between the execu tive and the people. The Dibals 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 of the public. In ;seeing this new ma chinery work so plainly, may not one rationally con clude that it has no natural and useful place to fill in our administrative institutions ? Such an opinion would probably be confirmed by a close examination of the attributions of those agents as defined by the new Ministerial circular. Wou!d it not be better then to abaadon an institution which creates such embarrass ments in the way of the general march of the adminis tration, and whose utility is so problematical ? Such is th e q uestion naturally suggested by the new circular, but which we have no t the p reten sion to solve." Tice official warning f a ri r from h has t e (says MineM ine of Po the lice. The ist F r ain ie)received an The Commission, which is at present occupied with a project for a railway from Rheims to the Belgian frontier, in order to connect the French lines with those of that country, were on Monday presented to the PRINCE 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 berg were on lath, to give time to the National Guards to be pre pared for the ceremony. The mortal remain - of Prince PAuL . of Wurtem- Madeleine n'sda l and a funeral service tool: place on the occasion.. 3 d 'ted in the vaults of the It seems camp of 63,000 men is to be establishe d at Com p ie g ne. positive," says the Public , " that a It is to be commanded by the PRESIDEN T in perso n, and grand rnan ceuvres are to be executed there." The Presse say s :. °`lt appears that the negotiations relative to the rati fication of the treaty concluded qt Zsris by the interns- .s _ ~Y ~w. ~.. ~ .. tienal sanitary commission are not yet terminated. Austria, Naples, Spain, and Greece are the powers which have shown the most repugnance to subscribe to this treaty. Austria, which has done away with the quaran tine regulations at Trieste, and which by this means has placed that port in a condition to compete with Mar. seilles for the transport of the Indian mail to England, hesitates to accept the modifications adopted by the Con gress of Paris. The other powers, on the contrary, throw difficulties in the way of the abolition of their quarantine regulations. Russia, Holland, Belgium, England, Portugal, and even T ur k e y, make no objec tion to the project, which consists in shortening the terms of quarantine, and facilitating international com munications." The sums paid into the Paris Savings Bank on Sunday and Monday amounted to 858,9091., from 6,062 depositors, of whom 850 were new. The sum drawn out was 377,617 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 some questionable transactions at the Bourse, in which near friends of the Elysee were said to be implicated lately, made a very serious speech to his assembled military house hold, in which he remi n d e d t h e members of that body of the fatal influence which corruption in pecuniary matters had 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 whi▪ le he gave these warnings, he affected to believe that no one about bim 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 f o restall at Pari▪ s the accounts given in the Moniteur of the sittings of the Legislative Body. CASAIIIANCA has just ordered a service of elec trotype plate of RuoLz, which is to cost somewhat more than two thousand pounds sterling. This plate is to be attached to the Ministry of State, and charged on the budget of that department. Public Securities were all heavy at the Bourse.

SPAIN Accounts from Madrid are of the 16 t h inst. The QUEEN has abandoned her intended trip to Andalusia or th e B asque provinces. The Ep oco says t h at M. F OUL D, who is at present in MadriJ, h a d an i n t en tion to make some advanta geous proposition respecting t he floatin g debt of Spain. There was a rumour of an intention to dissolve the Chamber of Deputies, and assemble the new Cortes in September. The lierald• states that it had again been seized by the police, and compelled to get up a new edition. The Three per Cents. were done at 45 i for time; the New Three per Cents. at 22 4; the Debt of the First Class at 9, and that of the Second at GERMANY. Letters from Vienna state that Count DE BOUL SCUA.UENSTEIN, Minister of Foreign Affairs and o f the Imperial house, is to be President of the " Con ferences of Ministers," instead of M. DE BACH. The word " Conferences" is used as the Ministers are no longer to m ee t as a deliberative council, resolving questions by the majority of votes, but simply as a body of high functionaries to i discuss questions of which th e f o r m al decision ▪ s to be left to th e EMPEROR. The Austrian Lloyds' of Vienna says that it is not true, as recently stated by the Journal des Debats, that diplomatic conferences are to take pla c e a t Lon don to regulate the succession to the Danish Throne. It declares that the question was settled by the five powers before the Austrian troops left the Duchies. At Carlsrhue last week the Court of Assizes pro ceeded to try MM. J. B _ ASTIAN, CHARLES MEYER, and FERDINAND FLOCOND, of Strasburg, for having printed and published in a newspaper, call e d th e D e . mocrate Rhtnan, articles insulti▪ ng to the Grand Duke of BADEN, and calculated to compromise public tran quillity in the Grand D uchy. The accused did not appear, and they were condemned by default, the former to thirty, the second to twenty, and the third to fourteen months' imprisonment. As the three con demned are Frenchmer, 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 especially mechanics in Vienna, the price of labour has risen considerably. This has been chiefly occa sioned by the extradition of a large body of men from Upper Germany by the new police regulations, because 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, TOO 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. THURSDAY EVENING . , APRIL 22 1 1852. T CRKE Y . A statement contained in the Journal of Constanti xople 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 Parte continues to increase its naval force. Two brigs have just been launched in the presence of the SULTAN. Others are c on structing. Admiral DEsrossEs 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 instant : The Chamber has already separated for theholi days. The last sitting was ra th er o f 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- NAECII 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 a b roa d , th e city was quite in an uproar. Th e Mi n i s t e r of Justice at length arrived, and s t a t e d , w i t h much calmness and deliberation, that there had indeed been reports of such 5 consp i racy , b u t that the Government was so perfectly persua d e d o f th e ir unfoundedness that i lit had been determined to take no notice of them, nor would a judicial inquiry have been instituted unless to quell the al arm t h at h a d b e en excited in the public mind. The explanation satisfied the Chamber, which was accordingly a dj ourne d for the holidays. This (the 6th) i s th e anniversary of the freedom of Greece, but th e weat h e r is cold and wet, and there will consequ en tl y be nothing savethe ecclesiastical ceremonies and the Te Deum, at which the KING and QUEEN will be present. The winter still continues. Rain and snow, and bleak ,north wind, quite unheard of at this season of the year. EDITORIAL TRAINING IN AMERICA.—The educa tion necessary to qualify an Arkansas editor for the duties of his office is the following :—Two months' practice with a hair trigger rifle at a target, 100 paces distant; six weeks' practice in swinging a two-foot bowie knife; six or seven months' experience in gouging, ear-biting, and rough and tumble kicking at an election. These qualifications will enable the possessor of them to write political and slanderous articles with impunity.—New York Paper. MONMOUTH ELECTION.—The petition of Mr. W. S. Lindsay, of Austin-friars, complaining of treating, bribery, and corruption at the late election of Mr. Crawshay Bailey, GOLD has been referred to the General Committee on Elections.

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. This disproves the assertion that money was dearer. In Lombard-street 14 and 2 per cent. were the charges on best pap3r, and loans on Stock were granted at 1 per cent. before this alteration at the Bank was known. The English Funds have been firmer, and there is a little money stock being taken. Consols realise 99i to for Transfer, and 99i for Account.
