LONDON: sATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1841. Amongst the Mitions.presented last night to Ole House of Lords;' . was one from a Mr. CARR, complaining of having' been dismissed from' a .iFudgeshlp in Canada, the !tnswer to which was that he had appropriated mon,ZY which did not belong to him, and had never accounted for it. The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL gave no,jee that after Easter, ho- would move for a Committeft to 'inquire into the cause of duelling. A brief, but a somewhat personal, conversation took place between the Bishop of EXETER and the Marquis of NORMANDY, about laying on the table the opinion of Chief Justice 5.:4w A RT, when Ataoraey-General of Canada, relative to San Ziulpiee, which the Noble Marquis declined to do, as rt was c9ititirary to etiquette to lay the opinions of the law officers of the Crown before Parliament. The Earl of GLENGA LL moved for the attend ance of more persons connected with the admin istration of the Poor-law in Ireland, which the _Marquis of NORMA NaY undertook to procure. Their Lordships did no business of importance. in the Commons, the Middlesex• Sessions Bill was read a second time; and the Severn Naviga tion Dill was referred to the Private Business Comn.i Kee. The cciisistency of Sir 11-INaus was illus trated by his presehting a petition for securing protection to the Christians of the Levant, and the Protestants and Jews 'of Syria, the prayer of which the Hon. BarOnet :supp, - )rted. He would shower favours on the Jews in the East, and he -would deny justice to the Jews at home. In reply to the lion. Baronet, Lord PALMER scoij assured him that the Government had in terfersed wieh the Porte in favour both of the Christians and the Jews of Syria, and if the 1 sc h er itf which had been issued on the subject could be enforced, thewishes of the lion. Baronet would be accomplished. In reply W Lewd F..EGERTON, Lord PALMER STOX stated that he had:received a copy of a fir_ Lu .74ElimET ALI the G overn - DAD. conferring ment of Egypt, with hereditary succession, on t cer t a in conditions, but _ he c ould not say whether are.:- it was t/t same as that which had appe 'the papers. Till some question arose concerning this firman amongzt- •the Allied Powers , i t was a matter"betweea the SuLTAN and his vassal. Sir ILOBERT PEEL.; not satisfied with this ex e - patimr, demanded -whether that part of th lim &Man which reserved to the Porofthe right of determining which of the sons MEHEMET Ara should succeed him, was consistent with the cola druple Treaty, and whether the Four Powers crew parties to it. • Lord PALMERSTON - said it was impossible for limn to say what the Four Powers might think Olt this particular point. - He admitted that the PAct.t.t had remonstrated against the finnan, but he was not aware of the SuLTAN's answer. The intention qt the Four Powers was that the SUL TAN shotild grant a Load- fide hereditary succes ~ Sion to MEH EMT A cr. - S.nne further conversa iOn took place on this new interesting question, kr which we refer to our report. 1. KtLLY announced that he would not go i n t o Committee with the Punishment of Death Bill ti. l l after Easter . I n a Committee on the Customs Duties of the West liolier and North American colonies Mr. LAB° 11.31E1;, explained the present anomal ous andinjiuious nature of those duties, and gave a brief history Of their origin, and of .the progress made in iMprocing them. The Right Hon. G en _ timnan moved a series of resolutions on which he asked nn opinion, but merely laid them on the %We for consideratiOn. After a few brief re- Anarks rrom j.' PALMER and Mr. EWART, the Wolse resumed, and the debate on th© subject was adjourned. We shall wait to see the Right Hon. Gentleman's resolutions before we offer uy remarks on them or on than to say that the Right the speech, furthe r lion. Gentleman has o t ttered a right pith, though he goes in it only a wry sink'. distance. The East India Ruin Bill went through a Committee, after a considerable discussion, but without any imPortant amendments. On the motion to read the County Courts Bill a second time, Sir F. PoLLocs made a speech against the Bill, against the power of creating fifty officers given by the Bill to Government, against the power of imprisoning given by the Bill, which was liable to abuse, and he declared he would not assent to any measure of the sort. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL explained the 6rigin of the Bill, and complained of the unnecessary attack his Learned Friend had made on the Government. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN defended Sir F. POL LOCK. The Bill, he said, was in favour of the middle classes, and against the humblest classes of society. There was one piece of folly in it— a Court of Reconcilement—but, on the whole, the. Bill was less partial than some former Bills. After a somewhat protracted debate, the Bill was read a second time. Some routine matters were passed, and at a Quarter past One the House adjourned. The postponement of the San Sulpice discussion in the House of Peers till 'Monday, has given time to lay more information on the question before Parliament, entrapped into a false belief by the Bishop of EXETER'S carefully prepared state ment; and that information will lead to the re jection of the Right Rev. Prelate's motion. The subject was renewed last night in the House of Peers, and the Bishop's querulous remarks were indicative of failure. His faithful ally, too, in mischievous bigotry, the Standard, anticipates the result with alarm. "We trust," it said last night—and the passage is worth remembering, as a picture of the bulk of the Conservatives—" we trust that the Protestants of the empire will keep their eyes steadily fixed upon the motion; we own that we are not without a distrust of some of those who call themselves, and are sillily called by others, Conservatives, merely because, forsooth, they would save their own titles, estates, sinecures, pen sions, and influence, though they would freely pay away all that is dear or valuable to the Con servative people, as an insurance upon the things precious to themselves." The distrust and alarm of the Standard are well founded. No statesman of any character in the House of Peers, except his faculties be impaired by age, will be found to support the Bishop .of EXETER'S motion. At least, all those best acquainted with colonial subjects, from the offices they have held—the Earl of RIPON, the Earl of ABERDEEN, Lord ELLEN BOROUGH-Will, we are assured, discountenance the bigoted at tempt to represent the House of Lords as the determined enemies of all the Catholics of the empire. So great, indeed, are the distrust and alarm of the Standard, that even that truly Conserva tive Nobleman, the late Earl of BATHURST—the last wearer, except the late Lord ARDEN, of a pig-tail--who, in the course of his official duties, appears to have incorporated by letters patent the Romish Seminary of San Nicholai, has in curred the wrath and contempt of the Standard. " He did," that Journal avers, though he was in office with the Tories, " many foolish and many mischievous things as Colonial Minister." But it happens that these foolish and mischievous things are, precedents which completely rebut the Bishop of EXETER'S wild assertion that to incorporate a Romish seminary is a thin.- un heard of—the first violent blow at the Reforma tion, and such a blow as JAMES 11. never dared to strike, and Father PETER never dared to de mand ; and therefore the Standard very coolly and very contemptuously proposes to set them wholly aside as foolish and mischievous. Though our Contemporary in general is a great stickler for forms and precedents, now that he finds them against him, with true Chartist daring he flings them to the winds, and will not have " the national archives ransacked for argu ments before the Houses of Parliament can come to a decision." In a glorious fervour of mockery he says " if this be allowed a reprint of Ryn:er's Fcedera' may be called for as the preface to discussion, how plain soever shall be the question to be discussed." When the Tories thus treat Tory precedent with contempt it is plain that they are completely in error, and the mischief which the Bishop of EXETER would' perpetrate, wants even the sanction of Tory Ministers of the worst times of Toryism. _ Since we last adverted to this subject, the House of Commons has printed and published a despatch from Lord GODERICH, now Earl of RIPON, to Lord AYLMER, dated Downing-street, Septem ber 13, 1831, which tells so much against all the abusive arguments of the Bishop of EXETER, that we are not surprised at the Tories disliking to have more information laid before Parliament. From this despatch, it appears that so early at least as 1827, the subject of settling the claims of the Seminary of San Sulpice to the seignorial rights of Montreal, had engaged the attention of Government, and been made the object, though unsuccessful, of a bargain. Lord CODERICH was, however, convinced that "it was of the highest importance " to emancipate from the restrictions of the feudal law " the great commercial city of Montreal," and he de scribes the opposition to that measure "as the selfish clamour of men, whose wharves and ware houses needed no enlargement," and who "found their interest in discouraging competi tion." He said, therefore, in 1831, that it would be highly desirable to do what Lord SYDENHAM has now done, and the Noble Lord proceeded to lay down a plan for accomplishing it. He certainly began by stating that he had no doubt that the "legal title to the Seigneurie of Montreal is in the Crown," but in order to pre serve all the rights of the Seminary, and being anxious to " prevent whatever might de rogate from its just claims to esteem and confidence," he instructed the Governor-Ge neral to open a friendly negotiation with the members. He stated that he was aware of the legal objection to recognise the corporate character in which they assumed to act ; but he overruled those objections as " misplaced and inconclusive." He so far recognised the previous existence of this Romish Corporation, that he proposed to " declare in due form of law that it is extant;" and he wrote that her MAJESTY " will issue a new charter for their incorporation, and endow them with revenues equal in amount to the income of which they have hitherto been n the receipt." The charter of incorporation was to be gfanted, too, "in whatever form the members of the Seminary may think most de sirable." That is the tenor of Lord GODERICH'S despatch; and the Noble Lord has too high a sense of honour to repudiate a measure completed on his own principles, because his attempt was unfortunately not success ful. But if he do not repudiate the prin ciples of his despatch, he must tell the Bishop o f ExETER on Monday that the Rev. Prel a t e entirely i m n c i s- on s t 3 a o t r ed at o t n h e o f fa a c t b o N d v e y onf the a R s Q o e n r i t i e s 1 1 Lord SYDENHAM is a unknown thing it)hr priests the ts by and unheard of. The monstrous assertion that to incorporate the Seminary of San Sulpice is a blow at the Reformation, and a violation of the Constitution, being bl ow n to the w inds, let us look at the ral merits of the case. For upwards o f possession 0 aorfs thesethat si Seminary g.noiia t h e as udal be r e i n gh::, which are very mischievous to Montreal. the N h o e s t a t esm an has dreamed of forcibly e jecting Seminary, or denying its equitable right, which rests on as good a foundation as the Bishop of EXETER'S claim to the revenue of his see. As the Seminary is not to be forcibly ejected, and its rights are mischievous, it is pro posed to commute them for a reasonable consi deration. The inhabitants of Montreal appear extremely willing to give the small sum pro posed, about one-twentieth of the value of their property, to get rid of these feudal inflictions. But how could that be done, unless the Seminary had a legal existence ? To give it that legal existence is quite as much for the sake of those who are to pay their money, as for the sake of the Seminary which is to be incorporated. At the same time, a clause of the ordinance which incorporates it, and enables the inhabitants to get rid of these feudal claims, limits the whole sum to be paid to the Seminary to 44,000/. If the commutation yields more than that, the ordi- ' eS . • Y 4 4 04 44 Sr.' fie.,lo Citt Tu t4l SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 13,1841 nance places all the surplus at the disposal of the legislative authority of Canada. We are no friends to ecclesiastical corpora tions of any kind; we should be glad to see the people of Canada so enlightened as to re quire the dissolution of San Sulpice, and of every other ecclesiastical corporation ; but as long as they regard it with reverence, it is monstrous for a Bishop, a member of an other ecclesiastical corporation, to propose that so equitable an arrangement as this should be set aside, in order that the pro perty may be taken away from Catholics and appropriated to Protestants. The House of Lords must shrink, we presume, from contaminat ing itself by the commission of such an act of in justice; but if it consent to the motion of the Bishop of EXETER, the public, particularly the Catholics, in every part of the empire, will not shrink from branding it as a most unjust and un worthy legislative assembly. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S speech on Thursday even ing. must have given great satisfaction to the en lightened friends of popular instruction. It is now, we believe, upwards of seventeen years since the London Mechanics' Institution was esta blished, and since that time the benevolent and zealous men who promoted it have seen similar institutions called into existence in every part 01 the country. At present there is scarcely a third rate town of the empire without one, and in the metropolis there are several similar institutions of which it was the parent. Thursday was, how ever, we believe, the first time that the existence of such institutions was formally acknOwledged in Parliament, and certainly the first time they were thought worthy of a proximate Premier's approbation. We remember that in their origin Mechanics' Institutions were opposed by the Clergy, and a high dignitary of the Church attacked the found ers of them for giving instruction in science, in dependent of religion. They were obliged to defend themselves; but the leader of the Tories, in his place in Parliament, has now avowed and defended their doctrines. Not only at Tam worth, but in the House of Commons, Sir Ro- BERT PEEL has declared that knowledge makes men better citizens and more religious men ; that it promotes Christianity as well as morality. To Dr. BIRKBECK, who, at the commencement of his benevolent labours, was exposed to much obloquy from the friends of priestcraft ; to Sir BENJAMIN HEYWOOD, who followed in Dr. BIRKBECK'S track ; and to the many other able and philanthropic men, who have established or supported Mechanics' Institutions, Schools of Arts, and Literary Societies, throughout the em. pire, the present testimony of Sir ROBERT PEEL in favour of their labours is a consolation and reward. But though they may be delighted with having so illustrious a convert, and though we record his sentiments with much satisfaction, as a striking proof of the general progress, still we cannot admit that the tardy conversion of the Right lion. Baronet is an honour to himself, or is the slightest indication that the Tories, as a party, are not still far in the rear of society. Sir ROBERT PEEL has only reached that point in 1841, on which Lord BROUGHAM was firmly seated, and from which he has never descended, in 1820. Sir ROBERT PEEL, however, is far in advance of his friends. His heavy tail, including the rabble of the priesthood throughout the land, keeps him down. In the House he finds no sup port from his party, and out of the House he is bitterly attacked. His speech on Thursday, which will find an echo in every enlightened mind out of Parliament, and which was loudly applauded by the Whigs and Liberals, did not elicit a single cheer from the Tories. His Noble Friend, Lord STANLEY, and his Right Hon. Friend, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, looked at him with amazement and vexation, as it the letters of " CATROLICUS in the Times, were their joint production. The band of Tory claquers, which usually bray forth their vociferous applause at almost every sen tence uttered by the Right Hon. Baronet, were quite dumb, as if Mr. dLADSTONE, who must haNe thought that Sir ROBERT was speaking treason against the Church, rather than Mr. HOLMES, were their fugleman. The great and mighty Thunderer frowns on him, and permits his clerical subs to usurp his thunder, and hurl their bolts at Sir ROBERT from the foot of his throne. Far, therefore, as he is in the rear of society, he is prodigiously in advance of his tail; and as parties, like fishes, are guided and impelled by their tails, he would be unable, were he in office, to act on the sentiments which only the Liberals in the House admired. It must have been satisfactory also to them to have Sir R. PEEL'S approbation tacitly given to their efforts to extend education, to promote the success of literary institutions to which they have contributed, and to provide places of re creation for the inhabitants of towns, the plan of a Liberal (Mr. SLANEY), tmd which a Liberal (Mr. STRUTT) has been the first to carry into ef fect. To all but the priests, who assert that knowlege is valueless, even for this life, and that on Faith alone must men rely, and to all but his own friends and followers, whose strength as a political party depends on pre serving the people in ignorance and the power of the priesthood intact, Sir R. PEEL'S speech has given unalloyed pleasure. We published in our Evening Edition yester day, exclusively, an elaborate and valuable Re port of the Chamber of Commerce of Manches ter, by which that body has added much to the many useful services it had previously rendered the public. It contains, in a condensed form, a vast mass of information relative to our import duties, and we can do nothing better than re commend it to the perusal of the public. We stated yesterday, in answer to a remark in the columns of the Quot ;dienne of Wednesday, that injustice was done to Lord PALMERSTON in attributing to him any sanction of the article in the firman of the Porte, which claimed for the SULTAN the right of nominating to the Paellalie of Egypt any of 11.1EuEmETA as children, who was willing to pay the highest price for the suffrages of the eunuchs of the Imperial Seraglio. It is with pleasure we repeat that statement, to the truth of which the Noble Lord himself bore testimony last night in the House of Commons. In answer to questions put to him by Lord F. EGERTON, Sir ROBERT PEEL, and Mr. EWART, the Noble Foreign Secretary assured the House that he knew nothing of the firman before the date of its appearance in the English Journals, when a copy of it was sent to him by the Turkish Ambassador—that it was the sole act of the SULTAN himself without the interposition of his Allies—and, what was still more to the purpose, the Noble Lord distinctly avowed that in guaranteeing to MEHEMET ALI the hereditary Pachalic of Egypt, the Four Powers understood the investiture to be a bona fide transaction. Now although the Noble Lord declined, during the pending of the negotiations, to say what the Four Powers thought of the finnan, or what they would do in the event of an appeal to them by the VICEROY, it is quite clear that he is of opinion that the SULTAN was not only wanting in courtesy to his Allies, but that lie has tried to steal a march upon them. Common courtesy i bu T pt : uintbrtrei them, ithatterms s, t l l , o i o e til y .l de o s i l ii i la o eNl u , leave been consulted tuding erminated solution of the Otto man d ynasty . T iesd l i i 3 e uilit A e l t i l i v e ei s lideilsll re stored to the SULTAN his fleet, they compelled the VICEROY to evacuate Syria, and now that MEHEMET ALI is no longer formidable, the Divan assumes the state and pretensions of an absolute, irresponsible, and self - subsisting Government. This will not do. TheFourPowers will not be thus coolly and insolently stripped of everything bearing the semblance of a recognition of their services. I n reducing E t i f: E t h E e T sALIa tosafety of c degreea °f Ottomanpower compatible it t n ever the intention of the Four place his deep-thinking h ea d, an d t h e Powers throne,tiN);a very. attempt, th ere f ore, on the part of the Divan heads of his family, at the disposal of the Padischah. The er to entrap him i n t o a submission, whic h would enable it to decide at any time upon his utter extermination, is dis courteous and unfair towards the Four Powe rs , We are really purprised to find the Morning Chronicle, which occasion 4 • o r lay§ some claim a nd dishonest towards the VICEROY. to a participation in the crumbs of confidential intelligence which fall from the Ministerial tables in Downing-street, gravely attempting to defend the claim of the SULTAN to nominate whom he pleases of the VicEnov's descen dants to the Pachalic. As a set-off against the constant temptation to rebellion, civil war, parricide, and fratricide, the Chronicle is satisfied with a provision being made to r obviate the almost impossible difficulty of a minority ! Yes, the grand evil which the Chronicle would be prepared for is a minority a minority in which some person besides the heir must be entrusted with the Provisional Govern ment. But supposing the possibility of such an, occurrence in the fast, where the law sanctions the adoption of offspring of any age, cannot a remedy be provided without permanently inter fering perilling the existence of the withe laic PAen. 4. and leis family Cannot the simple case of a minority be stated as the only one which shall justify the SULTAN in interfering with the regular order of succession? The fol lowing remarks are still more obnoxious to cen sure : " It is said," observes the Chronicle, with an air of peculiar gravity, " that the conditions of the hatii schtriff are a vio lation of the conditions sanctioned by England, upon which the Pacha made his submission to the Porte. In what doe; this violation consist? The restriction proposed to be placed on the ' hereditary' grant. Do those who urge this com plaint fcrget that in Admiral Stopford's Convention no mention whatever was made of the ' hereditary' succession ? " This is the low, quibbling equivocation of an Old Bailey attorney. Why, in the Chronicle 6f the 2d of February, it is distinctly stated that the SULTAN had officially granted to MEHEMET Au the hereditary Government of Egypt— a grant of which England guaranteed the performance, and upon the strength of which guarantee MEHEMET ALI, at once restored the fleet, and withdrew his troops from Syria. In Admiral STOPFORD'S letter tO MEHEMET ALI . dated the 6th of December, off Cyprus, and en closing the conditions Upon which the Foul Powers engaged to obtain for the Viceroy from the Porte the revocation of the decheance' and his " re-establishment in the Pachaiic," the word " hereditary" does not indeed occur ; btu will tile Chronicle presume to tell us that tin omission was other than an opportunity held out to the Porte to conciliate the Viceroy by being more beneficent than Allies ? or will the Chronicle dare to deny that Lord PALMER STON'S influence was not powerfully ex erted to compel the Porte to insert the word "hereditary" in the Treaty which the SUL TAN addressed to the VICEROY ? England, then, has guaranteed to. MEHEMET ALI the hereditary Government of Egypt, nor do we believe tha: any Government would dare to permit the PorL to fritter away a solemn engagement which binds the honour of this country. By granting to MEHEMET ALI the bona fid: hereditary Government" of Egypt, in the sons: understood by Europe and the Four Power-. the SULTAN restricted his own authority ove. that kingdom to the exaction of a certain amoun. of tribute annually. The claims which he nov , puts forth respecting a right to nominate Paella:- according to his caprice, to fix the naval and mi litary strength of the Paeltalic, and to appoint all officers above the rank of Lieutenant, are ini quitous and absurd. The Divan at Constanti nople has no longer any right to control the en lightened policy of the more vigorous Govern ment at Alexandria. But while we acquit Lord PALMERSTON not only of all participation in the attempted htuni liation of the VICEROY, but of the remotest ten tion of sanctioning such a proceeding, we re gret that no inquiry which we have been able tt institute would justify any mitigation of tin severe censure which we passed upon the pro ceedings of Lord PoNsoNur. That noted diplo matist is still said to leave no stone unturnee to effect the downfal of the VICEROY, against whom he is reported to enter tain a grudge which has outlived all vicis situdes in his Lordship's public career. It there be but half the truth in these reports that the public suppose them to embody, is is the duty of the Government to lose no fink in recalling him from a post where be is only capable of being mischievous. In fact his Lord ship's recal ought to have been shnultaneou, with the recal by the French' Government o; his quarrelsome colleague in diplomiicy, Ad miral Roussm. • Our Madrid Papers are of the 4th inst. At ; Council of Regency In1:1 on the 3d, the Miuiste of Finance set forth the sad state of the Public Treasury, and stated that no loan could be raist before the conclusion of a commercial treaty witl England. M. MENDIZABAL supported this view but the Council rose without coming to any reso intim. The Fives were at 281 at 60 days. There was a report in the City this mornin, that a Treaty had been concluded by the Great Powers for maintaining the integrity of the Ottoman Empire, signed by the Representatives of England, Austria, Russia, Prussia, and FRANCE! Good news, if true. The state of our relations with the United States and the rejection of the Imperial firmaL by MEHEMET Au, occupy almost exclusively the French journals of Thursday. WWI respett the American question there is nothing new in the Paris journals. We have only room for a summary of the opinions of the journals rtspcct ing the events in the East, followed by a few paragraphs of news : The Constitutionnel deduces from the firman of the Sultan, and the reported rejection of certain clauses by the Pacha of Egypt, the necessity for the maintenance of the French arma ments and for the system of isolation, which is the favourite theme of the Thiel s party, is order that France may be able to exercise a proper degree of influence in the still unsettled affair of the East. According to this Jourral, Lord Ponsonby, on the one hand, has been urging at Constantinople the adop tion of harsh measures against Mehemet Ali, whom he detests, and Commodore Napier, who admit es him, has stimulated him to reject the conditions of the Porte, which are really not only with out magnanimity, but are so framed as to leave it open to the reigning or any future Sultan to revoke even the present l.mited concession, the faculty of dictating new conditions at a future period, which could not be accepted, being reserved, and the revocation of the entire grant being conditional, not merely upon the execution of the orders now imposed, but also upon those which may be hereafter issued. The Constitutionnel says the English Government is quite aware of the course pursued by Lord Ponsonby and Commodore Narier, and is availing itself of it so as to leave to Mehemet Ali no other resource than that of throwing himself into the arms of England. The National takes precisely the same view of the position created for Mehemet Ali by the Sultan, and of what it calls the double game of England, as the Constitutionnel, adding to what that journal says of Lord Ponsonby and Commodore Napier, it says that Hue-ia has surrounded Mehemet Ali with agents who secretly counsel him to display firmness and independence. The Commerce has a . long and rather violent article, in which it repeats all the arguments which it has brought for ward so repeatedly on the Eastern question. The Debate says it is not surprised at the news of the non-accept ance of the firman of the Porte ; for, with the condi tions imposed by the Porte, the hereditary Government offered to the Pacha is a derision, and the au'hori:y left to him is a mere juggle. The Presse observes that France has nothing to do with the dispute between the Sultan and Mehemet Ali, as to the. degree of authority which the latter should possess, or with the form of government to be prescribed for Egypt. The only question, adds the Presse, with which the French have to do, is the integrity of the Otto man Empire. So long as the Powers make no a!tempt upon this, to their own profit, the French Government must remain aloof. A Morning Journal publishes the following fact: — Lieutenant-General Darriule has just signified to the troops of all arms composing the garrison of Paris, that on in formation received by the authorities that journals are intro duced into the barracks and guard-houses, he invited the a'- tentien of the officers to this serious infraction of discipline and the spirit of the army. s essly forbidden expr ‘e In consequence : every officer on duty to suffer a single journal to be intro duced into the iguard houses, and in order to prevent the soldiers and thernselvt s from being shaken in their fidelity and their sentiments by the ideas of disorder and the anarchical maxims which the enemies of the Government employ, the commanders of posts will be made personally responsible for the smallest fault which shall be imputed to them in this respect." It seems, that while looking forward to the completion of the citadels, it is intended to isolate the nation. The pod senze of the publie, then fore, does not err in saying that we are proceeding towards a military the army in the midst of despotism. How shall he reconcile this order with the law which says that Louis Philippe derives his right from the wi ll of the nation.—La Gazette de France, March 1 1 .

In furtherance of that duty I am now prepared to bring into the Court of Policy, and therefore submit for your consent, an ordinance fur the purpose of settling a Civil List on the Crown. Upon the pro isions of that ordinance I have reason to believe that, there will be 1 tile, if any, difference of opinion ; fur I think it will be smn that although I have placed the salaries somewhat below what were originally proposed, I have not overlooked the interest of the public officers. Be fore we proceed to the cons'deration of the Civil List which protierly belongs to the Supplies of 1841, I propose that you should first dispose of the Estimate of 1840, and provide in the regular manner for the means to meet the expendi ture of this year. For that purpose, and in order that no further loss may be sustained by the Colonial Treasury, it might be desirable, and I shall have no objection first of all to introduce an ordinance reviving and continuing the Tax Bill of 1839 for the years 1840 and 1841 We are informed that the final settlement of the Eastern question was signed here cn Thursday evening last, as amended by M.

NEWS FROM THE LEVANT. FALMOUTH, MARCH 11.—We have to announce the arrival this evening, at six o'clock, of tke Great Liverpool steamer, from the Mediterranean, having left Alexandria the 24th of February, Malta the Ist, and Gibraltar the 7th inst.—t om the last-mentioned place only tAir days and five hours, which is the shortest passage on record. 'I he Indian mats Liought to Malta were forwarded on the Ist to Aim eines by the Prome theus steamer, and have no doubt reached London ere this. The report of Admiral Elliot's .resignation from ill health is confirmed, and he bad arrived at Singapore on the 17th of De cember, and left that port en the 20th follow:ng, whereby Commodore Sir James Gordon Bremer takes the command of the squadron. Syria had been eva-mated by Ibraham Paella, and the Egyp tian army, which had retur.led to Cairo. Ibraham and 500 men were brought to Damiet'a by the Hedjibaba steamer on the 20th of February, and they were the last of the Egyp tians in Syria. The Stromboli war-steamer, bearing the broad pendant of Commodore Napier, was in Alexandria harbour, and was to proceed to Marn:orice immediately after the sailing of the Great Liverpool, which vessel he detained twenty-four hours for the Pacha's answer to certain propositions from the Porte, which were brought to Alexandria the 20th of Fe bruary by the Sultan's steamer the Tahri Bahri, but owing to Mehemet Ali having given a decided refusal to conf o r m to those propositions before he is confirmed in the hereditary Pachalic of Egypt, the Commodore will now remain at Alex andria until orders reach him from England. The Egyptian fleet is hauled out, refitted and ready for sea; and commerce seemed to be reviving, many merchant vessels having arrived and teing in the harbour. The Oriental steamer, with 40 passengers for Malta and Alexandria, and the Tagus steamer, on her way to the Nile, were at Gibraltar, and proceeded on their voyage on the 7th instant, 'I here were also three transport ships lying at the Rock. The following ships of war were lying at Malta on the lst instant, viz.—Princess Charlotte, 120 (Admiral Stopford); Ceylon, 6 (Rear-Admiral Louis); Bellerophon, 78; Ganges, 81; Edinburgh, 72 ; Thunderer, 84; Inconstant, 46 ; Carys fott, 26 ; Dido, 18 ; Wasp, 16 ; Magpie surveying vessel ; Me dea, Gorgon, Hydra, Vesuvius, and Phcenix, steam-frigates ; Confiance and Locust, steamers ; Acheron and Alecto, steam packets; Athol, troop-ship; Numa, transport; and the Mete one, Mentor, and Sesostris, French steamers. The Great Liverpool brings about forty passengers, and will proceed this evening for Southampton.

" NO ROYAL ROAD TO LEARNING."—This expression (ridiculous in the app ications mac'e c f it, and not very imelltible in its original form, seeing that we have no definition of what is meant by a Royal road ), has done no little mischief in the world. It has furnish_d ready shield for the idle and the ignorant against the ap proaches of any excitements whatever to thought and ie_ vestigation as to suggested improvements, especially in reference to mental thi kgs. There are people who hate the trouble of thiokir g (and that is heimige ti ey have been badly educatee), else they might easily perceive that, although it is true that no great or good thing can be acquired without labour, yet that means are continually arising of lessening the labour, in proportion to the at tainment. Look at the effects of our nalufacturing and agricultural machinery, our steam navigation, our rail ways, our gas-lights, and our printing presses; and whilst the efforts of the industrious are thus r ided, and the ac cess from Liverpool to London thus facilitated, can it for a moment be supposed, excirt by the yawning part of the community, that the efforts of the pupil cannot be aided, and the access from mind to mind be f'cilitated ? Arc meet ii things (vrhien are the source of these improve ments) the only things unimprovablc ? Why then talk about "no Royal road ?" N, thing is more co-rain than that there a:.e now pleasant ways to effective learning; and some people may recollect that there used to be un pleasant ways to nominal learning. Which; they, ought to he adopted by those who love the youeg ? The ex- • preision was cni,;inally Euclid',, in reference to Geo metry ; but we now find oral instruction and frmiliar illus. tration on the black board, brought to bear even upon that science.—From the Smith-and-Dolier Copy-boohs. OXFORD, FRIDAY.—TiIe Heads of Houses assembled on Wedncaday and Thursday, to take into 'cun-lderation the rreient icil state of the University. but no steps have 3et been resolved upon.

It is not each known that there ar e 15 men of colour attached to each of the vessels appointed for the N i g er expedition, as it has been considered they will be found lee r ! suitable for the labour of the vessels in a tropical climate• now expected the expedition will lease Woolwich ,(w.hare t whole of the vessels, the Albert, Wilberforce, and Soudan , . now assembled) in the first week in April.' The Lightnin g steam-veFsel, Lieutenant. Commander Jnha. Waugh, left 'Woolwich for Leith on Wednesday, and returnea on Thursday, in con'equence of her boilers having burst.
