IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MARCH 27. Sir J. YORKE presented a petition from the 'Vauxhall bridge Company against the Bills sow before the House, one for erecting a Suspension-bridge over the Thames at Lambeth, and the other for erecting a Bridge, to be called the Royal Clarence-bridge, over the Thames, at Lam beth also. The Hon. Baronet expressed his of that after the experience which we bad of similar projects in 1825, any set of men could be found to advance their mon e y o n such a @peculation as that now contemplated. To show what they had to expect he need only mention that the Waterloo Bridge, which was estimated at 500,000/. actually cost a million, and yielded now net more than per cent. ; thattke Southwark Bridge, which was estimated X' 360,000/., cost 700,000/., and yielded infinitely less. It would be a great hardship on the Vauxhall Bridge Com pany if the o propsed bridge were to be erected, as they ha d actually purchased the ferry at Lambeth, where these enterprising gentlemen were now about to treat them with a new Bridge. The Hon. Baronet hoped that the House would interfere, and stop these speculators be fore they expended, without any chance of an. adequate re turn, a v,:ist sum of money on lawyers, engineers, masons, and bricklayers. Mr. FERGUSSON presented a petition from - the Bur gesses of Dumfries against the Corporation and Test Acts. Mr. BIRCH presented a petition from tke artisans and mechanics of Nottingham, praying for an alteration of the p .esent Corn Laws. - Mr. F. WILSON pre,ented a petition from - the palish of Grimstone, in Yorkshire, against any-further concession to the Roman Catholics. The Hon. Member also presented s petition from the i.littorniee and Solicitors of the city of York, on the subject of the Bankrupt laws. Lord MAITLAND presented a petition from the inha bitants of Jedh.urgh, against the CZirporation and Test Acts. Mr. KENNEDY presented a similar petition from the Corp:nation of CaLullentakers in the city of Edinburgh. The petitions were ordered to be printed. Lord JOHN RUSSELL presented a petition from the freemen of the city of Canterbury, stating that they had returned a person as their representative in Parliament, and that he had deserted his duty. That person was Mr. Lushington, and he was now unable to perform the trust which he had solicited, having accepted the office of Civil Governor of Madras. 'bey prayed. the House, that a New Writ might be issued for the city of Canterbury, in the room of Mr. Lushington but though this was not possible, consistent with the law, he ;!ill thought right to pre cent the petition, and he must say, Out if Mr. Lushington intended to continue in tint Civil Gover..zuent of Madras, he would be guilty of a most scandat, ;breach of trust, and his constituents would have serious cause to complain tot' him. He was aware that it was usual when complaint was made of a Member of that House to give notice of such complaint, but in the absence of Mr. Lushington he knew not whom to complain to. The petition was then brought op and ordered ti Gr printed. Lora J. RUSSELL presented a petition from the Cur uoration of several Trades in Edinburgh, praying for a repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. Mr. ; I .3ANKES brought up the report on the Arlington and Dorche'ter Railway. Mr. RICE moved inr a return of the number of copies of the Statutes piinted for the use of the Magistrates of Ire land.—Agreed to. Mr. J. SNIITII preaented a petition from the Catholics of Marvborough, praying for the repeal of the Test and corporation Acts, and also prying for the Urnawipation cf the Roman Catholics. Mr. G. BANKES postponed the order of the day for bringing up the report on the Roman Catholic Land Tax Bill until Monday next. Mr. CURTEIS asked if the alteration was to be confined to the Roman Catholics, or to extend generally to hls Ma jesty'it subjects? Mr. BANKES said that he did not intend to make any alteration in the clauses of the Bill, other than one giving to the Lords of the Treasury an overlooking authority. EMIGRATION. Mr. WILMOT HORTON rose to present a petition front the individuals composing the Manchester Emigration Nociety, and he took that opportunity of saying a few words lapel a motion of his which stood for this night, and which he intended to postpone to Monday next. He had received a letter from his Right Hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the House Department, expressing his wish to have the motion postponed to Monday, and he (Mr. W. H.) asteti that an opportunity would- be then afforded for dis cussing the measure, beet if it could not be discussed on that day, be gave notice, that he should, on presenting some Scotch petitions on Tuetuiq, take tbe opportunity of Mail( g 8011:144 DlA•sCa•ltrat ;0/10 UrrlV, a Pill cvl,;,•l‘, 110 Irrn• sorry to say, was SO :ouch misunderstood,. The country gentiewen of England were very touch mistakes. ,i, they thought that he intended to charge himself with carreileg a !lira.mure, which they considered would operate much against their intereets, or to persevere to any measure of which he took a different view frOm that uleen of it by a great many Members of the Legislature. By doe enea eine which lie intended to introduce, he proposed not to allow any parish to pledge their Rates, unless with the consent of four-fifths of the rate-payers, anti of four fifths of the proprietors. fle thought that :weauld be a sufficient security against the abuse of the privilege which his measure was intended to confee upon parishes. As to the retnocal of paupers, he proposed that parishes should not have power to remove families, except in the propor tion of one to ten of thee,. families receiving some relief eaet of the Poor's; Rates, in the shape of wages, and done to five of those families/ who, except in harvest time, were maintained out of the Poor's rates. lie also proposed to introduce a legislative enactment, compelling all parishes to keep au account of the sums raised by Poor's Rates for the i;eotimate object,/ contemplated by the statute of Elizabeth, for the aged and infieia, and to keep a separate account of the sums advanced out of time poor's rates, by way of wages for hire, for he considered money given to fathers of families for the support of their children, ax mosey given for hire. His object was that each parish' should gZve an exact return of the reduedancy of the population, and as he enzeidered that the actual reduatiency consieteel of those not employed. an ac count stating thesums paid out of tree 1 ;e/ors' rates to lahourees, and the number of persons so paid, mut giving an accutate etatement of the redundant population, woll(1 give more information as to the real coadition of the poor, Mani any that could lie suggested. He wished to state, in the eve:, t , of his introducing any Bill at all upon the subject, that he .should introu:liee a clause compelling the proprietors of cottages to pay Poor Ratee for he could see no reason why cottsge property should have that protection from poor's rates which other property haul nut, and why a boons should he held out to persons to invest their capital in cottages. He thought such a clause would throw a teofficient impediment in the way of increase of population. His object in introducing this measure was meaely to give parishioners an opportunity of trying an experiment open a limited scale with a few families; for he felt satis fied that if that experiment succeeded, there would be no occasion for any Outlier legislative interference. He again repeated that if there was any indisposition on the pa s t of country gentlemen, or any °thee parties, to agree in the measure proposed by hint, he had no w,;.slt to carry th a t Bill' through the liouese. But lie thought it eeeelessary in common ;attire to the subjeeeet, to explain his general views upon if. He should therefieee, on Monday next, lay before the house a statement of whet he proposed to do ; but if he should nut leave that opportunity tea tionday, then he would make the statement Oa Tuesday, whose ,i4e pre sented Scotch petitions. Mr. LEYCESTER said, that nn modification which roidel be proposed, would reconcile him to a i:g/I to which lie had strong objections upon principle. The Bill was eon- every to the rating principle of the poors' rates, for brat principle was, that the support of the poor should be thrown upon time present, and IlOt DU the future, occupiers of land ; nor upon the proprietors. There might have b een instances its which it might be advisable to depart from that principle ; bet such instances would not justify hi m i n supporting a Bill which introduced into the poor rates such a daneerous prineaine. Mr. BRIGHT agreed in what had fallen from the ifLwourabie Mem ber whithati j ust sat down, an d hav ing naid the best attention i n h . tower to the rviden ^ ee before the E mi g ration Committee, Lie opinion was that t!te House ought u ot .to agre e to any measure, founded as the Right Hou. Gentleman% Proposed ea sure was on ibe principle ill they report of throe eommittee. He trusted that the question ould be ght before the House, in oilier 'sleet an opportunity 'flied be atiurded, of entering into a fall ‘iecuesion of the many doctri eees afloat respecting the important measure °f Emigratio n — a tneasute he thought of great .ber4t tothe country; but not upon the principle eontoined in ,thatieepot t. H e was sa tisfied that Emigration, as eooneeted with aeeer Colonial possessions, was a measure which demanded .tlhe ghost • Jiberal support of Government and tie couutrY ; he therefore trusted , that when the measurer gam e be discussed before the Howse, the general question of emi gration, and the principle upon which the proposed merle sure of the Right lion. Gentleman was founded, would be kept separate. Lord JOHN RUSSELL suggested that as the discus sion upou the Bill for taking votes at cities or len oughs and other business stood fur Monday, it would be better it the Right Honourable Gentleman would postpone his measure until after the Holidays. He agreed with Honourable Members that the proposed Bill was not in the most convenient form for discussing the question of Emigration ; he therefore thought it better, if the Right Hon. Gentleman would, during the Holidays, frame a Bill erabratlng the different views taken by Hon. Members upon Emigration. Colonel DAVIES thought it advisable to have the mea sure fully diseußsed, but he at the same time thought it necessary that the Right lion. Gent , should have the op portunity of entering into some previous preliminary state ment. Mr. WILMOT HORTON was prepared to consider the question in all its bearings ; and if, after making his statement on Monday, it should appear to be the wish of the House to have the discussion upon the Bill postponed to a future day, be should not oppose it. Mr. J. SMITH had heard many observations made on this important subject, which he was sorry to say were made by persons who did not appear to have taken pains to un dersttnd the subject. He was sure that many who couthlinied this Bill so hastily were unacquainted with the condition of the poor, which was so terrific that no man of common humanity could refuse to lend a willing ear to any measure proposed for their relief. Sir C. BURRELL and Mr. CURTEIi having made a few observations, Sir JOHN WROTTESLEY took that opportunity of repeating what he stated two years ago, that if the measures with regard to the state of the currency, were carried into effect, great distress must fall upon the labouring people.— The Hon. Baronet thought that it would be advisable to snake this experinient, which might produce the most be neficial effects. It had been said that the poor man had no thing to expect, in the way of assistance, from those who were more fortunately circumstanced. The Hon. Baronet entertained no such idea of the Christian charity of the people of this kingdom: indeed, he knew many instances in which relief was extended when the 'poor rates were found to be insufficient. The petition was then brought up and re.ad. On the motion that it be printed, Mr. W. HORTON said, that in his opinion no plan of emigration could be beneficial to this country unless it also embraced Ireland. • The Right Hon. Gentle man then postponed until Monday next his motion on the subject of emigration, which stood in the paper for this evening. Sir C. BURRELL moved that au address be presented to his Majesty, praying that he might direct that there be laid befare the House returns of the number of vessels, whether British or Foreign, in which wool of foreign growth was imported to this cauutry in the year preceding the sth of January, 1828, distinguishing the number of vessels which had cleared out iu ballast.-,--Ordered. On the motion of Mr. R. DAWSON, the application in Aida Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. On the motion of Sir G. HILL, the Bills of Exchange (Ireland) All was committed. The report was received, and was ordered to be taken into further consideration on !lie 16th of Aptii next. The Bill with the amendments, was ortt'sc to be printed. PENRYN DISFRANCHISEMENT BILL. ord JOHN RUSSELL, in moving that the House resolve itself into a Committee on the Penryn Dis franchisement Bill said, that it was Lis intention to pro pose in a Committee that all the clauses respecting the re gulations to be observed in taking the votes at Elections at Manchester should be expunged from the Bill. He thought that those regulations ought inure properly to form the sub j ect of a separate Bill. The House then resolved itself into a Committee on the Bill. The report was brought up, and ordered to be taken into forther consideration to-morrow. The Bill with the amendmetel.s was ordered to be printed. CANADA COMPANY. Mr. Alderman WAiTHMAN said, that in submitting his promised motion to the House, he wished to be under stood as not making it with the view of ihictving the slightest imputation on the gentlemen who composed the Canada Company, his only object was to have the valuable discussion before the House when the subject of Emigration to our North American Colonies carp; under its considera tion. Very few persons appeared to be acquainted with tbe terms and conditions upon which the charter pf that Company had been granted- It was merely known, that a charter had been granted, but of its precise nature, or of dee conditions accompanying it, the House was per fectly ignorant,. When that Company started, it was stated in the prospectus, that its capital was to be one million sterling, but it must excite suiliwise when it was ascertained that not more than 100,0001. had in fact heen adyaneed. The lion. Member, after going through various details connected with the Company, concluded by moving that there be laid info,: e the House returns of the quantity a l a nd is ITrppir Canmci c. lrl to th.. Cl.nfidian Company, specifying the conditim - ta c 4-4 terms of the emote, of the sums of money paid by that Cisimpauy on account of such land—of the numbs; t persons be A t out by the Company—of the time of their being sent out—aehe quality of the land provided for them , and the price paid ft' soh lend. Mr. W. HORTON taught the motion unnecessary. Mr. BRIGHT was desirous tita; the Canada Company should not only be compelled to fulfil theic bargain with the 6oyerpment, but be compelled to lay before the /louse the accounts ruierred to in the Hon. Alderman's motion. After some obeerea4ies from Mr. EASTROPEy Ml'. STAN LEY and Mr. HOME, HUSKIMSON was glad to see tioit 4re Honourable Membet ivy Montrose had taken a correct view cf the utility of these Conuanies to the public ; there were in others of the Colonie; 12h tracts of wild lands unproduc tiwa to the Government, which, if pultivated, would, he was sure ; bring considerable advantage, as eve:l to the Com panies cultive i 4e diem as to the public. But he belieo - e4 there were other Companies of this kind besides the Canada Company : for instance, there was one in New South Wales, and one in Van Diemen's a 4 el, and he hoped and expeeteal that the profit of planting the waste t;acts in these countries with civilized inhabitants would, in the course of time, turn ,out to be of benefit to those Companies. The plau on which such companies proceeded was this— they purchased land of the Government at the price of the day, contracting to pay the purchase muney fry instal ments, at fixed periods of time ; the Companies L ee k, Mg for compensation to themselves et a more remot e .dis tance. Ise to the assertion that they picked out the choice tracts of land, that was not exactly the fact. The Canada Company had contracted ie th tee Government to buy the Crown Lands, and ‘• Clergy reaerwea;" but some difficul ties n,erawring in executing the contract gelatin the Clergy reawyes, the Government gave to the Company one m illi on o f acres pp the borders of Lake Huron, in the place of the Clergy reserves; hnt that tract was by nu inearie the bast in the Colony. Then eheee was this additional ad vmeaie arising from these Companies, that one-third of the puterneee money of the land was to be tapauded en the building of be sages, roads, anti other public objects. In fact. a mere useful np e eropriation of these waste lands could not be made. As to the precise terms of the Company's conteaa, be was sure the Company made no mystery of them, nor raronld make any objection to let the public know their proeeedierge, as they must be convinced that their first road to success was a public knowledge of their proceedings. Indeed, he was not 4wgre, till he had met one of the Directors, that the affairs of the Company were so prosperous as to haVe excited the jealousy of indie vid4als. As to the Hon. Alderman's motion, he hoped that, as st.er e e was already a great mass of papers on the subject before the Weise, the Honourable Alderman would not press for the productina. of more, particularly as he was sure that the Directors, or any other officers of the Copapany, would, on application, give the Woethy Al derma:a every information he could desire on the anbjeiit of the dissensions existing between the Legislative and the public Authorities iiiphe Colony (Canada.) Other consi derations of it involved sun:; important principles, such as the stkte of the representation, aiel were connected with so many interests, that he could not this:: sf discussing it on a desultory oetasion like the present. He bad, how ever, to inform the Roust, that it was his intention to call their attention to it ilume4iateiy after the recess ; and the best way, lie thought, to encounter the difficulties of the question, would he to [lifer to a Committee the entire mat ter of the adminietratiou of Canada, with a view to allay the existing dissentious, which, if continued, must have the effect of disturbing the tranquillity, and checking the prosperity of the Colony. Alderman WAITHMAN, in reply, contended that nu benefit could arise to the public or Companies from the cultivation of waste lands in America, British or Repub lican. The Canada Company ought to be watched, and so ought all Companies, as the reult of some actions in the Coilree of Law lately proved That seweral of these public Compea4as were founded is fraud—fraud too is whieh some Members of that House were concerned. Indeed, it was notorious, appeawi4g i ven in the newspapers, that one lion. Member, the representative of a borough, was re deeed to such difficulties in consequence d his participa tion in these public Companies, that he had offeeed to aincoeetantt he e.O hiltern Hundreds for a pecuniary compensa t (Mr. Alderman Waithman), believed, in his conscience, the borough was at that moment on sale. Mr. STANLEY here called the lion. Member to order. Alderman INAITHMAN was proceeding, to speak on the same subject, when :11r. HUSKISSON interposed, and urged that the fb.M. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCII 28, 1828. RUSSIAN DECLARATION. We received this morning the Journal of St. Petersburgh of 01e l ltli inst., which contains two important articles—the first being the De claration of the EMPEROR'S opinion upon the memorable manifesto of the Po RTE. It expresses in strong language the regret of Russia at that manifesto, and her determination to require a complete and speedy reparation for all the wrongs which Russia has suffered at time hands of the SVETAN, while she, at the sameltime, prosecutes ith her Allies the negociations consequent upon the Treaty of London. She will conform to that Treaty to the very letter, in all that con cerns its spirit and execution, while she will find means, single-handed, by the aid of Providence, to obtain indispensable reparation for her injuries. The declaration of the Divan, that they never intended to execute the stipulations of the Treaty of Merman, has caused great and just indignation. The other article refers to the progress of the Russian arms against the Persians, and the speedy submission of the SCHAP! PETERSBURGII, lIARCH 11. The Journal de St. Petersburpli of this date has an Extraordinary Supplement, containing-Ist. " The trans• lation of a Proclamation issued by Hatti Sherif, the Ist of Djetnazuil-Akhir, 1243, (Dec. 20, 1827), sent to all the Pachas and Governors of the Provinces of the Empire, and delivered to all the Ayans (Primates) co nvo k e d i n t h e capital." The following observations are subjoined The above document scarcely needs to be characterized. While the Sultan excites against Russia the fanaticism of all the Mussultnen points it oat as the sworn enemy of the followers of Mahatma, invites to war all the people near our eastern frontiers, and to revolt the numerous subjects of the Emperor who peaceably profess Islamism, under the protection of our laws ; while he ascribes to us the insur rection of the Greeks, and the intention to overthrow the Ottoman Empire, on the other hand he announces to the Allied Courts that his real and sole object was to gain time, and to amwer with arms in his hand to the overtures, the object of which was the pacification of Greece. Nay, more, by this same Manifesto, the Sultan also announces to Russia the complete annulment of its transactions with the Porte, by declaring that he has never considered the Convention of Aleutian as binding._that he concluded it only to break it—and to break at the same time all the preceding treaties which it confirms ; consequently to an nihilate the most precious and the most honourable titles of our rights and of our national glory. " Before and since the publication of this document, the Divan at Constantinople had not ceased openly to violate these same treaties, with respect to which it has now made known its real intentions. " Our flag, and that of almost all other nations, can no longer pass the Bosphorus. Our southern provinces see the only outlet for their commerce closed. Our vessels are detained at Constantinople, and their cargoes taken away. Lastly, our subjects are obliged to quit the Ottoman empire within a fortnight, or to take upon them the condition of Rayas, and to submit to all the consequences of it. " Such acts, provocations so serious, and the measures which they render necessary, give rise to the mast lively regret; but the causes of complaint which the Porte seems to have studied to furnish us with, require, on the other hand, a complete and speedy reparation ; and Russia, while it prosecutes with its Allies the negotiations which the accomplishment of the Treaty of Loudon requires ; while it conforms to the letter and spirit of that act, iu every thing that concerns its spirit and execution, will find means, with the aid of God, to obtain this indispensable re paration. It will find means to secure to the commerce of the Black Sea, the inviolable liberty which is the first condition of its existence, to its treaties with the Porte the respect and the stability which they require, and to its injured subjects all the compensation which they have a right to claim." Member having risen to move tor the production of docu ments relative to a Company with which the Government was connected, was travelling into irrelevant matter, when he talked of the conduct of many other Compttnieg with which the Government had no connection. Alderman WAITHMAN resumed, and was proceeding to argue on the policy of emigration, when The SPEAKER called the Hon. Member to order, re minding him that the subject of emigration had no connec tion with the motion of which he had given notice. Alderman WAITHMAN, after declaring, that he quite agreed with the Hon. Speaker, concluded by pressing his motion for the production of the papers, even to a division. Strangers were ordered to withdraw, but Alderman WAITHMAN, seeing the sense of the House was against his proceeding, ultimately withdrew his motion. Mr. Secretary LAMB moved fin• leave to bring in a Bill to regulate the office of registry of deeds, conveyances, and wills in Ireland ; the Bill was founded on the report of the Committee of Enquiry into the public offices of that king dom, and stood on the same principles as the Bill for re gulating the Courts of Justice iu that country. —Leave given. The Caine Right Hon. Member obtained a Committee (for to-morrow) to consider the best mode of compensating the person now holding the place of registrar of deeds, con veyances, and wills in Ireland. Sir J. GRAHAM and Sir JOHN NEWPORT expressed their approbation of the Bill. _ . Mr. GORDON brought up the Report of the Pauper Lunatics Asylum ThilL After a few words from Mr. HYDE VILLIERS, Mr. BRIGHT, and Mr. GORDON, the amendment which had been proposed, now to recommit the Report, was not pressed ; and the amendments reported were read a first and second time, and agreed to ; as was a further amendment, proposed by Sir Edward Knatchbull, to divide the expellee of these asylums between the county and the landlord. The Report was then recommitted in a Committee of the whole House, Mr. HERKIES in the Chair, who reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Monday next. The ether Orders of the Day were disposed of, and the House adjourned at Seven o'Clock.

The accounts from Persia, inserted in a preceding number, have informed the public of the just reasons which decided General Paskewitsch to break off the nego ciations with the Persian Government, and bo recommence hostilities. According to later information received here on the Bth instant, the military operations have been re sumed with vigour at several points, and, notwithstanding the extraordinary severity of the season, had already been remarkably successful. Major General Pankratieff, ap pointed to act on the right, with the detachment under his command, had occupied, ou the 27th January, and without any resistance, the town of Ourmia, which is surrounded with ditches and walls. This town, one of the most con siderable in the province of Adzerbidjan, is situated in such a manner as to afford great resources for the supply of the army. On the other side, Lieut.-General Count Snclitelen had advanced on the left, with the intention of taking pos session of the fortress of Ardebil. scarcely had the General appeared before the walls of that place, the strongest in Adzerbidjan, when the Persian Governor opened the gates to our troops on the 7th of February. The surrender of this town is of the greatest importance in every respect, and has besides put uv in possession of pretty considerable magazines ; it was the residence of two Princes, sons of Abbas Mimi, who have desired to remain there under the protection of our troops. In general the inhabitants, far from opposing their progress, have evely where received them with demonstrations of joy. Even before the news of these successes could reach Te heran, and as soon as they were informed there of the rup ture of the conferences, and the renewal of hostilities, the Shah, much alarmed at the new dangers which threatened him, thought only of averting them by all the means in his power. He hastened to send a direct communication to General Paskewitsch, to assure him of his pacific inten tions, and to announce the immediate - remittance of the sums destined to form the pecuniary indemnity justly de manded by Russia, and the half of which had already arrived at Miana. At the same time he invited Abbas Mirza to has ten on his side the conclusion of the treaty, giving him the ne cessary full powers. In consequence of these urgent over. tures, Gen. Paskewitsch was preparing, at the departure of the courier, to fix the place where the Plenii,otentiaries should again meet, to finish the salutary work which had been checked by the effects of a policy, the danger of which the Persian Government seemed at length to be sensible of. In fact, still later accounts inform us, that General Paske witsch had left Tauris with his head-quarters on the 10th February, to proceed to Miami, where Prince Abbas Mirza was expected on the 11th February. neGur, MARCU 25.

The Florence Gazelle contains the following news dated Corfu, WI. 16., which seems to require confirma tion :—" The Paella of Egypt has agreed to set at liberty the Greek slaves of both sexes, lately brought from Nava rin to Alexandria, in order to facilitate the return of Ibra him and his troops to Egypt." The Fremch Papers of Tuesday, and the Ga zette de France of Wednesday, contain no ad ditional news from the East, or from the proba ble theatre of war. Their information from Por tugal is not so late as what has been received direct from our Ambassador—and yet they pro fess to believe that DonGuEL means to ad here to his oath of acting according to the Constitutional Charter. This alone is sufficient to impeach their v:racity, We would not be , lieve Don MIGUEL were he to swear by all the Saints in the Calendar. He is bent on absolute power, aid may soon have good cause to repent his too easy obedience to the delusive instructions of his mother. Let him once declare his purpose, and be may find more obstructions to, its complete accomplish ment than either himself or his untractable mother ever dreamt of. The French Papers say that the English Am bassador having received positive instructions, the English troops have left Lisbon ; three regi ments have sailed for the Mediterranean—the first for Gibraltar, the second for Malta, the third for Corfu. There remain only two ships of the line in the Tagus, a►id 300 men in the Fort efiSt. Julien, to protect the English mer chants who may conceive apprehensions for their persons or their property.

ALEXANDER, who has accepted the Stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds, issued this morning from the Crown Office. Dutch Papers to the 25th, and Brussels to the 27th, have been received, from which we make the following extract respecting the pro gress of events in the North BERLIN, MARCH 17.—1 t is affirmed that news has been received. from St. Petersburgh that the Russian Im perial Guard had received orders to be in readiness to march. Private letters, rece►ved at the Hague from Berl►n, say that the Russian Army was to cross the Froth on the I Gal of March (new style), and that the Emperor Nicholas will go to the Army with all his Guards, except the Cuirassiers• It is further stated, that the Persian Emperor has now sig nified his williugness to sign the peace : but it is said tha• this news requires confirmation. It is worthy of notice at this moment, that, by order o: the Russian Emperor, a monument is to be erected a: Warsaw, in honour of John Scbriesky, King of Poland ; the brave conqueror of the Turks and the deliverer of Vienna. It seems that this measure is intended stil more to inflame the zeal of the Polish nation, which is al• ready animated by a very hostile feeling towards the Turks. The appointment of Sir it N A:D ies Ts F oi E mm ß ees - - FER GUSSON to the com man d o f th e 79th Regi men t, thathas satisfied th e danger ey even n f a the vigilance despo of t m what diminished. Our cotemporary somahn e since made up his mind, that though the Duke had nominally resigned the Command, he had, in fact, reserved all the Patronage of the Army, in the distribution of which Lord HILL was to act merely as a locum towns, subordinate, or deputy. It is very clear that such an underhand ar rangement would have reflected little credit on either of the contracting parties, and was rendered highly improbable, by the manly and independent character of the gallant and noble individuals in qtiestion. That the Duke must ever retain a personal influence over his former companions in arms, is as certain as that no one, however exalted, need scruple to act under this great man —but the influence of office, whatever it is, should always be recognised and avowed. Lord HILL might have made no sacrifice of dignity in openly acting as second in command to the Duke, at the Horse Guards, any more than in the Peninsula ; but it would have been deroga tory to his high character,' had he lent himself to a plan whereby his Grace was virtually to retain, as Premier, what a justifiable and Constitutional jealousy declared incompatible with the security and happiness of the state. It is therefore with unfeigned pleasure, that we observe the confirmation of our own • hopes, and the candid confession of our co- temporarv—that he had been mistaken in his view of the subject. The air of the Horse Guards is very infectious, but the present gentle ness of manner, and perfect want of assumption, on the part of Lord HILL, are as consistent with moral courage and proud independence of character—as with that personal bravery and gallant bearing, for which the Noble Lord was so eminently conspicuous " on the blood red fields of Spain. Tuesday's London Gazette annou nces t h e appoint ment of our sincerely esteemed Li eut. -G overnor' Major.-General Sir James Lyon, K.C.B. to the Government of the Island of Barbadoes. The highly acceptable way in which Sir James has, during his command h e re, u n ited the duties of the good soldier with a due regard to the equally im portant duties of a praiseworthy citizen, will be best s h ow n by the subjoined resolution of the Mayor and Magistrates, agreed upon at the Council Chamber, on Tuesday last : At a Meeting of the Mayor and Magistrates of the Borough of Portsmouth, at the Council Chamber on Tuesday, the 18th day of March, 1828. Resolved unanimously,—That during the period the ap pointment of Lieut.-Governor of Portsmouth has been held by Major-General Sir James Lyon, the Magistrates of this Borough have, in the execution of their var i ous d ut i es, uniformly received &oin him, on every o ccas i on requ i r i ng it, the most considerate attention : and whenever the in terests of justice or of the inhabitants have been concerned, the most prompt and effectual support. That by the good understanding which has thus happily subsisted between the Civil and Military Authorities of the town, and the readiness of the Lieut.-Governor at all times to adopt measures, either for the prevention or the redress of any irregularity or grievance, the peace and good order of the Borough have been materially promoted. That, as a testimonial of the sentiments Ly which the Magistrates are impressed, and of the high respect enter tained by them for Sir James Lyon, personally, the cordial thanks and acknowledgments of the Mayor and Magistrates be communicated to him ; and that the General be reques ted to accept the same, and to receive, not only the as surance of their unfeigned regret at his removal, but of the lively interest they must ever con tinue to feel in h i s welfare. gratitudeAlarch 2l, thantB 218 can. Sir, — ua l g t e .n return for me to the Magistrates of the Borough of Ports mouth express, withP° feelingss t l h ° a u t T l l fo' request e F q dr u ei e ed s pa t eyr ; yon to accept and to mouth my most sincere and heartfelt acknowledgments for the flattering, and I must add, unexpected honour conferred upon me, by the Resolutions passed in your Council Cham ber on the IBth instant. During the time that I have had the good fortune to hold the appointment of Lieutenant-Governor of Portsmouth, I have considered it my first duty, and assuredly it has been my anxious care, to meet the wishes of the Magistrates of this Borough, and, as far as might he in Inv power, generally to secure t h e p eace and tr anquillity of the inha bitants. But if, as has been so kindly, but perhaps too partially expressed, I have succeeded in my endeavours, I must gratefully acknowledge that it must be attributed to the marked attention and to the ready support which the Civil Authorities have afforded me, upon every occasion when it has become my duty to refer to them upon any subject connected with the Troops entrusted to my charge. In truth, Sir, therefore, it is to the kind consideration which the Magistrates have ever shown me, that I owe a reward than which few can be more flattering to a soldier ; and whilst I beg through you to convey to them the feel ings of pride and gratitude with which I receive it, I am anxious further to assure you, that wherever the duties of my profession may hereafter call me, I shall ever feel deeply interested in the welfare of the Civil Authorities, and the inhabitants of Portsmouth. I formed your acquaintance with pleasure, and believe me I quit you with very sincere regret. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant, JAMES LYON, Major-General.

DumFutEs, MARCH 22.--The Nelly and Margaret, of Harrington, Martin, sailed from Kirkeudbriffht on the 19th inst. : she struck between St. Mary s Isle and Torr Point, and has since become a complete wreck —crew saved. The Arrow, of Port Patrick, O'Neil, has sunk off the Point of Ord. The loss of shipping between Glenhead and Ar rammore is considerable. Five sail, from Sligo, went through Sound Raghleyburn on the evening of the gale, and the mast of one is now seen above water, and several casks of beef have floated on shore. At Doneras, in Baylagh Bay, a ship from New York, for London, is sunk; several packages of flax-seed, and other articles, including the stars of the vessel, have been picked up on the beach. The wrecks of smaller vessels have also been found at Doneras, from which it is feared the whole of the five vessels from Sligo have suffered at Glenhead. A good many logs of Canada timber plank are coming on. shore. The Lowther Castle, Baker, from China, has ar rived off Dartmouth —sailed the 19th NOV. The Sarah Morrell, Elwes, from New Orleans to Liverpool, was driven on shore at Broadhaven on the 20th instant, and it was feared would be wrecked.

This unhappy culprit, who received a respite for two days, on Wednesday morning last, was executed this morn ing, in the Old Bailey. The respite of his execution took place at the urgent entreaty of his friends, who transmitted to the Secretary of State, statements and details of circum stances, shewing that he was altogether innocent of the highway robbery, attended by violence, at Isleworth, with which he was charged, and offering to prove those state ments. Consequently, it was intimated two days w ou ld be allowed for that purpose, and if the pledge given was not redeemed, the execution must go On. Unhappily for the prisoner, his friends failed in establishin g the doubts and said,. ~ I mi l they raised, and it was last night intimated to Wyeth that no further hope remained for issT,. lie then declared, as innocent the parties • bery, he had done from the moment otfofiitshaerrrivbal in the prises, that he was altogether nothing whatever about 1 , and knew ve d himself dreadfully disappointed at his life nut being B P."as innocent • the child unborn..
