CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION. MR. 'STEELE It; TILE CHAIR. DUBLIN, SA:CIRDAY Nl6wr,—The loom wa3 intensely crcwded as er, r i y as three o'clock, though the proceedings seldom c''''./imence much before four. The pressure was such that it was with dif f iculty the reporters could write. DECISION IN PARLIAMENT. Mr. Coerzaroen. first addressed the Association on the ''lncision of the House of Lords. He said, the Peers had not only refused them admission into the Constitution, but had refused to take their claims into consideration with a view to an arrangement of the question. That Willie had, in effect, said to them, "go back, weavill not hear you." —The reason assigned for not going into the inquiry was, that it would only encourage unfounded hopes, that would he afterwards disappointed: This was plainly saying, it was useleea to hold mat. any hope, for they Were determined never to place confidence in Catholics. He was not suf ficiently versed in theological controversy to analyse the sermon ascribed to the Archbishop of Tuam. That prelate had preached a great deal against purgatory ; but consider ing his vast revenue, he thought it would be welt for the Archbishop if he ever got there.—(A laugh.) He eulogilied the speech of the Duke of Sussex, who, he said, would never have his midnight slumbers broken by the voice of Emancipation, or by any other voice, peace ful must be his repose, for his Royal Highness had never voted in violation of the rights Of others, and his con- eience therefore was void of offence..-..(Cheers.) —lt Was said that some encouragement is held out towards the end of the debate--some intimation that Govertnnent would advante toOtards a settlemen.t of their own motion. 'Phis was, perhaps, for those 'who chose to 'he deceived by such an illusion; he did not choose to deceive himself, nor would he aid in practisieg a deception on others. The Duke had minuet to trust him, because of hie religion Vie Dake avas entitled to no more confidence from hint ; he would not trust the Duke. —(Cheers.)—The state of Europe made it necessary for the Government to resort to tills evasion, though the bulk of the peerage were above it. They however should not be deluded. The sword had been drawn against them ; and it was time for them to draw the sword..—(Order, order.) The ettarearate called the Learned Gentleman to older. He of course did not intend his words in their literal im port; but, as in something Mr. O'Connell ha R said of the Church, the meaning would be perverted, if he ditl not explain them. Mr. Coeetzeuea said, when he used so strong a figure as drawing the sword, he onty meant to urge the employ.: anent of the strongest romatitutional means for redressing their grievances, such as petitioning.—(Order.) Mr. O'Gottatao reminded the Learned Gentleman, that the anbject of petitioning could not be introduced at a meeting of the Association, hot they were obliged to have toparate meetings for the purpose. Mr. Comoorat proceeded to state, that be had the agreeable intelligence to communicate that a branch of their rent fund had bon' regularly esteblished in America, and he doubted not they would soots hear of similar ineti totione in other parts of the world where there WM Ca tholics.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Laweess praised the speech of the Duke of Sussex, and commented on that of Lord Plunkett. lie was sot ry to see that Noble and Learned Leo! stoop to compliment and ogle the Established Cholth, to which they were jus tified in imputing all their wrongs.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. O'CooNvio.e—l think I have now got a commis eien—a commission signed by a majority of 45 Peet s, authorising me to agitate—(Cheers and laughter)—and they have enamelled me to go etr,—they have even bound one over to increased egitatioli.—(Cheers.) They had before constituted me chief agitator and demagogue, and boasted how easily they could unmake ine : and yet they have not only left me in the full plentitude of my office, but even increased my power, by giving me freah cause for agitation. —(Hear, hear.) I will begin then with another cheer for Ireland..—(Loud cheers.) " One cheer more" for Ireland. —(Continued sheeting.) We have been told, very kindly indeed, that if weavill but be quiet now,—mark that now, when Eurape is in arms, and Ireland impatient of her de gradatiam,—now, when the Catholics of England are .awaking to their rights, and the Protestants of England have expressed their cease of them, and sympathised with us —new, when all classes see, with just apprehension, an attempt to retrieve by 'military domination the most glaring incapacity for civil rule—now, then, it is that if we will be quiet and passive spectators, now, the Duke of Wellington will do something for us at some future time, by which the emancipation that is advancing by its o ana tome, shall be not only delayed to the remotest passible period, but likewise dwindled into as insignificant and unworthy a prize wait is possible for any body of men to desire.--(Hear, hear.)—Sir, I reject the terms.—(Loud cheering.)—lt is monstrous tte put us - off in this manner. Is it because Lord 'Eldon entertains his _doubts?' I despise not the talents of that individual ; but is it not remarkable, in this case of the culy talent exhibited against us, that it has never, during a long life, been on any one occasion de voted to the cause of humanity? that, notwithstanding a long course of public employment, there had not been one voice to say, `God bless him,' as he passed ?"—( if ea r, Miserable old man ! No sooner did he ascend the judgment seat, than the intellect which nature had given him, and education had in some manner favoured, became oppressed with doubts that would never permit him to staunch the widow's or the orphan's tears ; but, if, upon other occa eions, it enabled him to display a decision of character, it was uniformly by its quickness in deciding him against the eights of mankind.—(Cheers.)—Yes, Lord Eldon is against us—l would not conceal that fact—the talent of Lord Eldon is against us ; what cause, right and good, did it ever espouse ?—(Cheering.)—Gracious Heaven ! is it this man that shall put aside our claims to worship thee in a land of peace ! Is it because this man will not respect our civil rights, that our fertile country, which thou bast blest, must still be afflicted with his ctiree, and doomed to he wasted perpetually by domestic strife !—(Cheers.)-0 yes, and for this the sapient and sermonising Archbishop of Tomo will go on with his reformation—(Laughter)—and with his dissemination of dissensions between children and. their patents. Were it not that lam personally assailed in some of the reports, I could find it in my heart to pass by these interested Prelates and the other titled patrons of the Esta.blislunent, who have Seats the House of Lords, and who have honoured us by'their opposition. But, Sir, I see a charge--a stupid imputation I may call it—and take this opportunity of setting myself right. The charge is differently reported. In some of the reports lam ac cused of saying that we had trampled on some already, and that we would trample down the rest of the Esta blished Church, as soon as we were emancipated.—(Much laughter.)—.Theo is not my speech, Sir;" it is the speech of a certain Corporation hero, named David Cleary.— (Laughter.)—Wh en he imputed it to me, of course no body here expected me to disavow any thing so absurd as gelid spring from such a source ; but when I see the charge preferred in the HOuse of Lords, I am called upon to say, that the charge of wishing to secure my own rights, by trampling on the riOitis of any portion of my fellow subjects, is a calumny when applied to me or to the Ca tholics of Ireland, but that it is true when applied to our enemies.--(Cheers.)—lt is their own theory, ant/ their own practice, aud repud i a ted b y us with abhorrence.— (Continued cheering.)—But in one of the reports I find the c harge against me otherwise stated. lam there al leged to have said, that we had trampled on all the ob stacles thrown in our way, and that if the Esta blished Church should now place itself in the way of our emancipatio n, we must, in our progres, trample down that a lso. This, Sir, or words to the same effect, I did say.—(Cheers, and hear.)—This I reheat--(continued cheering)—and now look at the ser vice which that church has received from her Prelates and Noble Patrons in the last debate. Have they not plainly &dared bar to be the only bar to the attainment of our libel ties ? (Cheers.) This then, is the fact ; and - we must surmount that harrier, or any other that shall stand between us and our just rights. (Loud cheering.) 1 tell that Church that it must give way, and let us into the Constitution, or it must crumble to. atoms. The Archbishop of Tuam is angry with us, because we Ca • tholics will not every man of us interpret Scripture for ourselves. This may be very wrong in us, but is it not xtremely foolish in this Archbishop to tell us so? for, if each of his people should follow his advice, and resolve to interpret scripture for himself, what would be the use o: paying this Archbishop 25,0001. x year ?—(Laughter.)— El e is positively preaching against his own trade. The Learned Gentleman adverted to the subject of securities, €ll which he had erred onee;but be solemnly pledged him self in the face of his country and God, never again to entertain the subject. If indeed the discussion was pressed DI them, let it he made a matter of fair treaty. Ile had no notion of treating upon unequal terms. Hay ing thus spoken of w hat they should not do, he came to the que4ion, what thcy were to do ? His answer was—agitate_(Chcers)— agitate by all ways and by all means that ate known to the Constitution. Simultaneous meetings—get ready your two thou san d six hundred petitions — (Lo ud cheering)—and lay them before Parliament on the last day of the Session, with notice that they wild be the subject of a motion on the first day of next Session. Organise your liberal Clubs with a l. expedition. (Cheers.) There will be one in every count. In another fortnight the Liberal Club of Dublin shall completely organised ; there shall be a Liberal Club every parish to report to a cen t r al club. (Cheerig.) I Il institute the Order of Liberators without delay ; its mention has sometimes excited a smile, but I am fully Convinced that 'it Will benefit the country. Independent Clubs,—Order of Liberators,:—Catholic Rent ....he invoked them all, by his country,—his religion—to agitate and agitate again.—(Loud cheering.) Mr. Shiel, and Dir. Lawless had once received hopes of adjustment at the foot of the Throne. It was the expression of Majesty itself. But what had clung about it of late ? A I Cate not, Sir 3 it is the Duke of Cumberland who cannot endure ntlr hopes of Emancipation. He it is, whoie pure lope for the Established Church, has induced him to throw himself between me and my rights...,—(Cheering.) He it is, who has proclaimed himself my enemy, and to whom 1 owe in return— I will not say hostility--but, Sir, you may easily conceive another sentiment which I scorn to express.—(Loud cheering.) 0, Catholics ! how are you mocked. The conscientious scruples of that ornament of 'Royalty and the Church, are thrown into the scale against yoo. lam glad the Duke of Cumberland did come home, and I willingly give him to the Church by whom we are op posed. Iu conclusion, Mr. O'C. called on them ta i agitate their rights and vindicate their church. He begged to address hit warning voice to the Government : he would beg them to remember that the young blood of Ireland was boiling with indignation at their country's wrongs—that their school-boys employed their leisure hours in debating on these topics, and thus training themselves for action— was it to be expected that they would bear oppression with to much patience as their fathers had done?—(Loud cheering. Mr. SHIM. (being loudly culled On) awn IJ:ought for ward his motion ter A tribute of thanks to the Earl of Shrewsbury ) for the publication of his Reasons for not sub sctibitig the tests imposed on Catholics. He did so with the more readiness when he saw a great Protestant Captain vote for continuing the exclusion of the descendant of a famous Catholic warrior, He congratulated the Archbishop on his poorness of spirit, and his readiness to bear the burdens of his people's money, and on his being despised of man. These he hoped would qualify the poor Arch bishop of 'rum with 25,000/. a year, for a state of per fect beat . tide. lie was astonished that Mr. O'Connell should say all the virtue was on their side, when the Duke of Cumberland was on the other side. TURKISH DEFENCES. (1.R031 A CORRESrONDENT. We are net among those who are inclined to spe, culate very confidently on the issue of the war be' weer the Russians and the Turks, and those, we kink, who predict the decided and certain triumph of the Russians, do not very accurately estimate the difficulties of the cnterprize in which they are en gaged, nor the - great advantages which the country they have invaded possesses for defence. We are well aware of the resources of Russia, and her great military power. There are no armies iu Europe more numerous, better appointed, or more perfectly disciplined; nor any generals more thoroughly versed in the science of war. That on an ordinary field of battle an equal number of Russians would beat an equal or superior number of Turks, we make no doubt, excelling them as they do in all military qualities ; though a powerful and well-disciplined army is a moot essential instrument of conquest, it does not insure it. Vie natural defences of a country form in many cases a most efficient auxiliary to its force, and frequently serve as an effectual counter- poise to the superiority of the invading army. The British army which invaded the American colonies was in every view superior to the army of the coun try, yet it was in the end completely -foiled, not withstanding its fine military qualities. Now there is no country which possesses a more perfect natural defence than Turkey. We have first the Danube, which runs along the northern frontier of Bulgaria or about 300 miles from west to east, and which is fitudded with fortresses and fortified towns, seldom at a greater distance from each other than thirty miles. This river is not less than a mile broad throughout all the country, and if it is vigilantly watched and well defended it must be an equal difficult and dangerous operation to transport an army safely across it. It must be confessed, liovr- ever, that in all the wars that have occurred between Russia and Turkey, this great river has not been vigilantly defended ; and it has never accordingly proved any serious barrier to the progress of the aders. But other more formidable ()Wades mus be encountered in advancing into the country ; abou fifty miles beyond the Danube, and nearly paralle to its course, lie the formidable barrier of the Hemus or Balkan mountains, which rise to a great eleva tion, and are full of deep ravines and narrow defiles, and all those localities which render defence so easy, and enable a few men to arrest the progress of an army. The direct road is from Rudschuk, on the Danube, to Constantinople; and it passes through various towns rudely fortified, after the Turkish fashion, among others through Shumla, where the different roads from the Danube all meet. Beyond this place, which is about 30 miles from Rudschuk, the Russians have never been able to advance. It is the extreme limit of their conquests. At this forti- fled town the Turks had always an entrenched camp, which the Russians attacked in 1775, but were re pulsed; which they again attacked in 1810, and were again repulsed, after a bloody conflict, and .finally driven back to the Danube. Over the almost inaccessible mountain chain of the Hemus there are five passes, two by the direct road from Shumla to Constantinople, and three farther to the west, which all lead to Adrianople. Those mountains are impassable during the winter, from obvious causes; the roads, if roads they can be called at any time, being blocked up with snow, spring is the only season of the year in which these bleak and desolate regions pre sent any appearance of vegetation ; in summer they are scorched by the sun into a degree of aridity, which readers them a complete desert, while the cold damps and dews of night are adverse not merely to comfort, but to health. These mountains must be passed by the Russians in their progress to Constantinople ; and when we consider their height and ruggedness, the narrowness and inaccessible character of the passes, winding amid ravines and precipices, commanded on every side by the adjacent ground, we may easily conceive through what a series of difficult and dangerous operations an invad ing army must be pushed, before it can cross this great natural barrier; what fatigues and privations must be encountered; how many formidable positions must be carried ; and by what a great sacrifice of men even success must be purchased. The Turks, we learn from the late instructive work of Mr. Walsh, depend on those natural defences for their security e gainst a Russian invasion ; and we have no doubt t h e y ,will be maintainvd with bravery and perse verance. The Turkish troops are not d e fici en t in courage ; they frequently di s pl ay prod i g i es of Na a l k lier, a aml aided by these strong hold s , they wiL make powerful defence. The Russians, by t h e o a ll i :( 1 1111 o 1 t f all these obstaclesdiscipline,uers' and scie nce , may stir ; but, if they succeed, it will certainly be a military ..achievement of t h e highest class, and will add greatly to their warlike renown. There will then be no further obstacle to their progress; and the passage of the ileums moun tains may, therefore, be considered as deciding the fate of Constantinople.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. We received at'a late hour this morning sin Express from P uis, wiih the Paris Papers of Sunday. The Quolidienr'e gives an account from Lisbon of great desertions in the Constitutional force at Oporto, and pretends that the Miguelites are on the point of putting down their Opponents. The Quotidienne's intelligence respecting such flatters is often somewhat apocryphal. The- Papers are filled with the debate on the motion of M. Labbey de Pompieres, to which extraordinary import ance is attached, proposing the accusation or impeachment of the late Ministers. lie accused them "of the introduc tion into all the offices of the enemies of the State ; the hatred of existing institutions ; the suspension or non-ex ecution of the laws; religious intolerance ; the restriction of their liberties ; arbitrary destitutions ; rage against in docile bedies, even to the cantemlf. of.the Chambers." He proceeded to illustrate these positions, and concluded with presenting the following propositions, which were read over by the President : " 1 accuse them (the late Ministers) of treason to the King, whom they have isolated from the people. " I accuse them of treason towards the people, whom they have deprived of the confidence of the King. " I accuse them - of treason in having attempted against the Constitution of the country, and the particular rights of the Citizens. " I accuse them of concussion in having levied taxes not voted, and having wasted the public money." The terms of these propositions were strongly obiscted against. " What !" said M. de Martignac, "will you dis cuss a proposition in which it is said that the King has been isolated from his people ; that the people have been deprived of the confidence of their King." A curious elucidation then took place—At the ecorn mendation of his friends, M. Labbey de Pompieres had introduced into the two obnoxious propositions the word attempted (tentO, reading them, as "attempted to isolate the King front the people," " attempted to deprive the people of the confidence of the, King ;" but the altera tions had not been made in the inanuscript from which the President read. The debate closed by the Chamber taking almost unanimously into consideration the following proposition : " The Chamber of Deputies accuse MM. the Members of the late Ministry of the crimes of treason and cencus siou (extortion)." This proposition will be .referred to the Bureaux, and a Commission will be named to examine it. • (From the Quotidienne of Sunday.) Pa RV, JUNE 14.—The length of the debates in the sittings to-day, oblige us to defer till to-morrow, the in teresting news which we have received bola Portugal.— We shall content ourselves, to-day, with saying that deser tion has begun to thew itself among the rebels at Oporto ; and that notwithstanding the distribution of money, the 18th Regiment of Infantry, and the 11th of Chasseurs, have joined the Royalist troops which were at Amarante ; that the three vessels which were sent to blockade Oporto were cruising at the mouth of the Douro, and had opened a com munication with the Government of the fort of Foz, which commands the mouth of the river, so that all the issues were closed against the rebels. All the faithful troops, and a great number of militia, were assembled at Ikaga, Ama rante, Lamego, Leiria, and other points. Thus a cordon of considerable force surrounded the revolted city, in which destruction and consternati•m already prevailed. On the 31st May, above 20,000 Royalist Volunteers had been enrolled at Lisbon. • ' • On the 29th May, a Manifesto had been published le capital in answer to that of the Insurgents. WESTMORELAND ELECTION. (From the Carlisle Journal.) It has been resolved by the friends of Mr. Brougham, wisely we think, not to oppose the return of Lord Lowther for Westmoreland upon the present occasion. Mr. BrougLam's address to the freeholders of 'that county will be found in another column. From this, however, the Lowthers will . see that they will again be opposed when the suitable time arrives—a general election. In the pre sent state of affairs, when Parliament may be dissolved almost any day, it wo uld have been folly to enter upon a contest with such fearful odds against success, when the hattle, in all probability, would he to fight over again in a very short period.* The election is fixed for Monday first ; and it is expected that though the Noble Lord will be permitted to " walk over the course," to use the sort of slang with which his Lordship is most familiar, some " explanations" will be required of him, by those who arc not over and above satisfied that .the " weight" which he says he is about to give to his " pslitical principles," by accepting of some 4,000/. a year out of the taxes, will add to the prosperity or increase the happiness of the country. His Lordship will doubtless dilate upon the advantages of " decision," and give a true and correct explanation of the causes which led to the recent rupture in the Cabinet; disclaiming, of course, all aristocratic influence, and de 9ouncing liberality as high treason. A promise will also be made that all local grievances shall he removed, that va rious road bills shall be passed, and that excise places in abundance shall now be supplied to the good men and true. Mr. Wilson, of Casterton, is expected to nominate the Noble Lord, and will probably be secowded by Colonel Wilson; of Dallain Tower (a Whig in principle, but a Tory in action), or by Mr. Maude, of Kendal, " in holyday and lady terms." • His Lordship arrived at Lowther Castle on Thursday, and was expected to make a few calls upon the freeholders of the neighbourhood in the course of yesterday and to-day. * Sir H. Hardinge, in his speech at Durham on Mon day last, said there might be an election ." probably in three months." Letters have been received from Ceylon, stat ing:that. the lifiTst Stewart Elphinstone had arrived there on the 17th . January, with Sir J. P. GRANT and family on . board. THE SILK TRADE.--The following taut communication was received in this town yesterday " Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade, " Whitehall, June 11, 1828. ic Sir,—ln answer to your inquiry respecting the duty on silks, I am directed by the Lords of the COmmittee of Privy Council for Trade, to acquaint you, that it is not intended to propose any alteration, during the present.

On Saturday last, as the dredgimg machine, which is used by the Ceimmissioners of the river Wear fur • cleansing the river, was at work near the bridge, itbrought up the body of a sailor boy without a head !

His body was injured in several places, supposed by the keelinen's sets used in working their keels.—Durktin Advet tiser. On Wednesday evening, a very large sturgeon was found in the stake-nets at Montrose. It measured in length from the tip of the nose to the point of the tail, eight and one-half feet, and girth three and one-fourth feet. Its weight is supposed to be between Itand 2 cwt. The sturgeon is a remarkably strong fish while in the water, and this we could readily suppose from seeing it, after it had been fully an hour out of the water, nearly lift a stout boy from the ground with a feeble wave of its toil. Being such an uncommon fish among las, a vast number of people visited it in the evening. —Scotsman, IT "" 1 t, t ;' a s. e`. PRICES OF STOCKS THIS DAY Al ONE O'CLOCK. .

TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 17, 1828. As the period approaches when the renewal of the East .India Company's Charter must come under the consideration of Parliament, public attention is naturally directed more and more to that most important question. ,The discus sion of subjects connected with our Indian Em pire occupied much of the debate last night in both Houses of Parliament, and it is to be hoped that a question of vital importance to a popu lation of eighty millions, will befinally adjusted on views of policy commensurate with such an c6ject, and not principally on the narrow grounds (so justly deprecated by Mr. BARING) of how our trade in sugar or in cotton may be thereby affected. We shall not at present enter into any length ened discrtation on the wisdom of renewing the Company's Chatter, but would merely direct at tention to the chief points at issue, and to some incontrovertible facts, which must ever be borne in mind by those who ale desirous of coming to a right conclusion. In the first .place, no Petitions (however just) against Stamp Acts and commercial restrictions, can controvert the broad and acknowledged fact, that the inhabitants of Hindostan are infinitely happier now than they were under their former rulers ; that strictly impartial justice pre vails where tyranny and oppression former ly held despotic sway,—and that :those count less multitude are daily encreasing in know ledge and [intelligence, and becoming more and more fit for the enjoyment of those civil rights, which, emanating from our blessed isle, seem destined to overspread all the nations of the world. Now this amelioration in the - condition of eighty millions of souls has taken place under the administration of the East India Company—a body cf Merchants who have laid themselves open to the charge of the most extensive and systematic aggression on all neighbouring states, —and who have imposed unpalatable restrictions on the intercourse of their own countrymen, with the inhabitants of those nations which they have - subdued with their blood and treasure. But still the system " works well." Co] quest (strange to say) has carried " healing on its w;ngs,l' and those very restrictions have evented the domineering insolence of irre sponsible adventurers, froM rousing to frtal re sistance the gentle spirit of the degraded Hindoo. Are we then, or are we not, to peril so inivih good ? and if we are, what is to be the reward ? Will a reduction in the price of tea be regarded as an equivalent for the possible loss, and are we prepared to throw the patronage of India into the hands of the Crown, and its Military advisers ? We received this morning the Gazette de France of Sunday, with the Quotidicnne of the same date, extracts from which will he found in another column. The Gazette says that the Emperor of RusslA had sent a sabre of great value to the gallant Admiral CoDRINGToN, in memory of the battle of Navarin. Their Majesties of SPAIN do not seem to propitiate fortune in their peregrinations through the country, for the whole of a triunzphal arch which, no doubt, had been erected in mockery of the KING'S exploits, broke down on the head of FERDINAND and his wondering Consort, to the utter horror of the Priests, and the congra tulations of the Freemasons ! 'The Quotidienne, the avowed organ of the Ultras and Jesuits, gives some unfavourable news from Portugal, but which must be received with distrust, as coming from such a quartet. The Election of a Burgess to serve in Parlia. mud for the town of Wenlock, in Shropshire will take place this day. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 10th just, contains the following from the scene of opera. tions in the East:— CORFU, MAY 17, Letters from Zante say that the Greek schoorer Aspasia, which had arrived at that Island, had brought the news that the Allied squadrons ordered to blockade the• port of Messenia had taken an Egyptian corvette, with Greek slaves, which was going from Modon to Alexandria. Anatolie° continues to be besieged by the. Greeks, though it has received some succour. Zanella bad lately arrived at Cape Papa with some hondred,men, on his way to join the corps besieging •Anatolico. "• 1 •- MILAN, JuNr._2. The treaty between the Ottoman Porte and the King dom of Naples, by which the ships of the latter power are allowed the free navigation of the Black Sea, has now been published in the official journal of Naples. Piton THE ntowriEns ne! MOLDAVIA, MAY '26. The organization of the interval administration of the principalities engages the whole attention of the Governor- General, Count Pah len, and it is siinplified as much as possible, to facilitate the public business. The Governor- General is also endeavouring to make arrangements to ap portion the extraordinary expenses, that are rendered ne cessary by the present state of things, and which will in the sequel be brought to account, in smelt a manner that they may not bear heavily upon the people. Commissioners had been appointed at Jassy and Bucharest, who are to at tend exclusively to the financial part of the administration, and every mili i tary commander is most strictly enjoined on his responsibility to require no more than is necessary for the supply of the troops, for which receipts are to he given The subjects of foreign Powers residing in the Principali ties are free from all taxes, and enjoy the protection of the Russian Government. Respecting the operations of the army, we only know that all preparations were made for the passage of the Danube, and that it may probably be effected by the end of this month. It is said that a divi sion of Cossacks has already made excursions on the right bank of the Danube, and has convinced itself that the de fensive preparations of the Turks are very feeble. We know here by private letters, that the Turks have not at the moat above 30,000 tren assembled in any one place, and the Russian troops will probably advance without much oppo sition to Adrianople. Ibrailow is invested by a corps Of 18,000 men, and the trenches were opened on the t list, very near the fortress, for the purpose of effecting a breach. The Turkish garrison had set fire to the suburbs, and en deavoured to maintain itself on the ruins, when two Russian battalions were ordered to drive the Turks out of them ; they penetrated into the streets which were choaked tip with rub- ~► '~~ja ..,,1 4 , bisb, and their nAkets unloaded, and chased the Turks at the point of the bayonet, while the fortress tired at them with mortars. The Turks who conld not reach the fortress were killed or taken prisoners; the number of the latter is said to be 160 men. Another party of Turks,which was endeavour ing to collect proviSions, was also taken by the Russians. It is reported, we know not on what authority, that some CossaCks had been brought prisoners into Ibrailow, and, by the Paella's orders, hanged on the walls of the for tress, in sight of the Russian army. That this cruelty had so incensed the Russian soldiers, that they all demanded to be led to the assault to revenge the death of their breth ren, and they were with difficulty restrained. The bombardment of the fortress was immediately began. It was feared that the taking of Ibrailow woult . l be attended with a dreadful massacre, and that the cruelty shown to defenceless prisoners would be punished with extreme se verity. • THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

H AYMAlikth THEATRE. This entertaining little Theatre opened last night for the season with a new piece translated from the French by Mr. Plancll4, and entitled "A Daughter to Marry."— During the recess the interior has bee❑ considerably im proved, both as regards the ornament and the convenience of the house. It is now the prettiest summer theatre in London. The first I.iet e went off with but tolerable success ; notwithstanding that Mrs. Waylett appeared -to great ad vantage in the character of a country nymph. -The co medy of the Hypocrite, however, which followed, lora duced Miss F. H. Kelly—who some years since made so successful a debut in the one solitary character of .Juliet, and who on this occasion, if she did nut add to, did not certainly detract front, her former well-deserved reputation. She was received with much favour, and listened to throughout with attentie•i. The general conception of the character was excellent, though there was at times an evident and elaborate straining after effect. Reeve's Maw worm was a broad and humorous caricature, and elicited shouts of laughter. The house, was but indifferently filled.
