Altogether, nothing could be more satisfactory than the discussion which took place on Tuesday evening in the House of Comnons 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, and more es relallY so, bearing in recollection the fact that the correspondence referred to has finally terminated between our meotß. own and the Continental Govern his It W a 3 d i coniequ3ntly, with more °v on than ft Lord the r,presert E.arnestne3s that the Noble matter once more. und er of Marylebone brought the Pottsibly7 the notice of the Imperial Legislature. larly incited by the circums tan ce doing, he was particu pointrnent experienced by th e i mplies of the severe disap • t,, t l ii mp . hed refusal of the existing Cabinet to consent favourable of the desired documents, notwithstanding th e po„urable assurances previously vouchsafed by the Gentleman the CHANCELLOR of -ttht Honourable All that Lord DUTAZT STUAZT deai r EzelizquEß • Et upon the 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 Pea measToee 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 KOSSUTII 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 Louis Kos- SUTH 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 1 the assertion of the Noble Lord the Member for the borough of Marylebone, that the 'ississippi 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 th a t th e 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 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, gs now happily the Cabinet might be revivin g feelin long since allayed , a nd 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 1 of Commons by the plain-spoken and 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, for en instant matter for any de- gree of astonishment upon a subject which extorted in his favour even from Lord JOHN RUSSELL the most fervent and explicit congratulations. " I con sider," said the ex-PREMIER, " that it was an honour to this country to take 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 peraonalle 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 value of that enlightened and pa triotic policy which has not only shielded every Englishman with the exclamation, Civis Britannicus 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 of revolutions. There can be no doubt that the man so long "coming" has, at length, arrived. Henceforward Sir FITZROY KELLY will be the ilf gnus Apollo of Protection, and DERBY and DISRAELI, aye, even GEORGE FREDERICK YOUNG himself, must 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 pries 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 Sussex. 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 Honourable Gentleman, with a can dour which d oes him infinite credit, acknowledges that "in the year 1850 we had importe d full y 3,000,000 quarters of corn more t h an i n 1846." This might appear a damaging admission if proceed ing from an o th er an d less adroit advocate. It would seem to prove that so much more bread found its way wwahom yint a o n t y he in c c o r t e t a a s g e in esof the less wealthy classes, can only b e prov i ded fo t r he by pr a ic d e im o i f nu " t t i h o e n s i t n aff th o e f life" can consumed. Sir FITZROY K E LL Y , however, with a bardilacod of a sse r ti on which must strongly re commend him to the sturdy bucolics, boldly declares, that if we had i mported more, we had produced less, a nd that we had s o ld i n Great Britain and Ireland 3,000,000 quarters of home-grown corn less in 18 - 0 than in 1846—the result being" th a t th e people of this country have not had one pound weight of bread more to eat in 1850 than when the 3,000,000 quarters of corn wer: , grown in this country in 1846." Hear this, l a bourers, who have , mirabilc dicta, had sufficient bread, albeit of the coarsest description, for your nu merous families, who have been enabled to allow what our continental neighbours denominate " pain a discretion" to the curly-headed varlets, sod are not compelled to entrust your careful wives with the im portant duty of dividing with nice tied discriminating hands the number of loaves that could be obtained loaf year 1846 the numerou s claimants. It is not merel y a t r w the s is. that ye have not had " snore" bread qn than in 1846 when the price of the rte or upwards, but you have really had less; fur there has, unquestionably, been an increase of popu lation in the interim, and if there has not been " a p o und of bread more t o eat," and the same quantity was divided among more n umerous mouths, it neces sarily follows th a t each person must have had considerably /en, ion Are the best 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 cut 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 lan3? What class more loudly demands an equitable adj ustment 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 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 promoted by these 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 an 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 Constitutionnel, taken out of the hands of the Minister of Finance, who is precluded from drawing up the expose 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 explanations 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 mei.; 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 preparieg the budget itself, but receiv ing it ready made from the hands ot 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 hare 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 ot 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 uld 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 tho 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 'Mats attacks the last circular of the Minister of Police. Certainly the functions of the Corps Legislatif would be approximated to zero, by the new police system, as explained by M. DE MAUPAS. The police inspectors 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 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. Would it not be better then to abandon 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 the question naturally suggested by the new circular, but which we have not the pretension to solve." The Charivari bas (says the Palrie) received an official warning from the Minister of Police. The Commission, which is at present occupied with a project for a railway from Rheims to the Belgiao 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 Ai3ne. 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 eagl23 is postponed to the 15 •. , to give time to the National Gaards to be pre pared for the ceremony.

The PRESIDENT having heard of some questionable transactions at the Bourse, in which near friends of the Elys6e 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 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 while be gave these warnings, he affected to believe that no one about him could ever be guilty of such an offence.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 22, 1852. SPAIN Accounts from Madrid are of the 16th inst. The QUEEN h as a b an d one d her intended trip to Andalusia o r the Basque provinces. The Ep oco says that M. FOIILD, who is at present in Madrid, had an intention to make some advanta geous proposition respecting the floating debt of Spain. 'There was a rumour of an intention to dissolve the Chamber of Deputies, and assemble the new Cortes in Septemb er. The lieralde 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 for time; the New Three per Cents. at 228; the Debt of the First Class at 9 , aid that of the Seeond at 5. GERMANY. Letters from Vienna state that Count DE BOUL SCHAUENSTEIN, Minister of Foreign Affairs and of the Imp er i a l h3use, is to be President of the " Con ferences o f Mi n i sters, " i ns tead of M. DE BACH. Th e word "Conferences" is used as the Ministers are no longer to meet as a deliberative council, resolving questions by the majority of votes, but simply as a body of high functionaries to discuss questions of which the formal decision is to be left to the EMPEROR. true, T the Journal des D e b uts, he as .A r u e s c t e rn n i t a ly Lloyds' o f Vienna says that it i s no t that diplomatic conferences are to take place at Lon don to regul.ite the succession to the Danish Throne. ft 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. BA.STIAN, CHARLES MEYER, and FERDINAND FLocoND, of Strasburg, for having printed and published in a newspaper, called th e D e . mocrate Menai:, articles insulting 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 months' imprisonment. As the three con demned ere 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 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. Tne number of workpeople now employed in the Austrian capital is as follows :—Silk and velvet rib bon makers, 1,7,50 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, 700 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. TURKE V . A statement contained in the Journal of Constanti nople leads to the belief that the differences respect ing the holy places ere 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 b ive just been launched in the presence of the SULTAN. Others are constructing. Admiral DESFOSSES 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 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- NARCH 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 perfectly persuaded of their unfoundedness that it had been determined to take no notice of them, nor would 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 6th) i s t h e ann i versary o f th e f ree d om of Greece, but th e weather is co ld an d we t, an d t h ere will consequently be nothing save the ecclesiastical ceremonies and the Te Dcum, 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. —N ew York Paper. MONMOUTH ELECTION.—The petition of Mr. W. S.

Russian and Austrian were withont change. Spanish, Portuguese, Mexican, and South American were feebler, owing to the decline in London. REDIICTION OF DISCOVNTS. 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 paper, 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 994 to for Transfer, and 994 4 for Account.
