TURKEY AND RUSSIA. (From the Allgemeine Zeitung of May HI) BUCHAREST, MAY 4.—(By Expross.)—Tar tars from Constantinople have just brought us the news that the Divan has consented to the evacuation of the Principalities. The Austrian Consul immediately sent an express to Vienna 'with the news. But as this evacuation has been so often announced, it is I►o wonder that many people still refuse to believe it, though this time they are probably mistaken. ODERSA, APRIL 28. —According to accounts from Constantinople of the 20th inst. Lord Strangford is, said to have gained rather more in fluence at the Porte, because, as they affirm, he has promised the Turkish Ministry that all officers in the English service who were with Lord Byron, .or in general among the Greeks, shall be recalled by an order of the King of England ; and that if they do not obey, they will be deprived of their pay and their commis sions. The Divan, as we hear, has been pleased with this determination ; and a belief was again excited that the Noble Lord, after presenting his note respecting the evacuation of Moldavia and Wallachia, will at length attain this object of his long and zealous exertions. (From the Brussels Oracle.) AUGSBURG, MAT 16.—The m erchants o liamburgh have received notice from Copenhagen that they shortly expected i❑ the roads of that city a Russian squadron, consisting of several men-of-war. In order to weaken as much as possible, the effect which this news had caused, it had been endeavoured to make it believed at Copenhagen that these Russian ♦essels will not pass the Sound, their only destination being to 'cruise in the Baltic. We have letters before us of a very recent ...late from St. Petersburgh, in which it is stated that the Russian Cabinet was much dissatisfied 'with the conduct of the Ottoman Government relative to the political part of M. Minziacky's mission. It is inferred that very important mat ters will be discussed in the conferences at Prague between Count Nesselrode and Prince Aletternich in June next. BA.YONNE, MAY 18.—Madrid is tranquil. The publication of the amnesty is impatiently ex pected, which was said to have been signed on the sth. This proves that the Journal des Debuts was misinformed.—A circular of the Supreme Council of War orders that 36,000 men shall be raised (by ballot), who are to serve eight years. —The Gazette contains a long article on Secret •Societies. HAMBURGH PAPERS. - STOCKHOLM, MAT 11.—We learn from Norway, that the , Grown Prince and Princess will -leave Christiana on the 26th, , on their journey to Scania, where the camp will begin on the 19th of June. The number of troops intended to form it is about 15,000 men. It is positively afErrned that Count Engestrom will retire 'from the office of itiinister of Foreign Affairs, and be suzceeded by Count Welterstedt. It is also said that Count Engestrom will have a pension of 10,000 rix dollars, and take a journey to Poland. The English Ambassador, Sir B. Bloomfield, is gone to make a tour in the interior of the kingdom. Ile will visit .Copenhagen, and then return to the camp in Scania. Up to the Bth inst. 50,000 ship lbs. of iron have been ex ported from this port this year. ST. PETE RSI 3 EY Rau, MAY s.—The Saint's (or name) day of her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Alexandrina, and at the same time the birth-day of the Grand Duke Nicholas, .were observed with. great magnificence the day before yes terday. The Minister of Finance has lately sold 170,000 ponds of copper, belonging to the Crown, to a foreign mercantile house, at 34 rubles per pond, which is five rubles per pood more than was obtained last year. The Government has founded a Military Academy at Oren burg, under the direction of the Military Governor at that place ; the number of pupils is fixed at eighty, of whom forty are to be maintained at the expence of the Government. The pupils are children of military belonging to tl:e irregular troops OP that frontier, and of free Asiatics w h o are not R uss i an sub jects. As the atter are Mahometans, their children are sepa rated from the Russians in that establishment, maintained ac;:prding to their own way of life, and instructed in reli gia;:i according to the Koran by a priest of their faith. The branches of learning taught are the Russian, Persian, Arabic, and. Tartar languages ; history, mathematics, geography, drawing, &c. By this means the Kirghiz, the rude sons of the cicsert, will be gradually made acquainted with European arts and sciences, through the education of their children, which, -wit( the strictest regard to the religion of their fathers, aims only at their moral and intellectual improvement. The expences of the Government for forty pupils amounts to 17,1120 rubles per annum. The weather is uncommonly warm for the season ; for some '41.3s past the heat has been 10., 1:1., even 20. Reaumur.— Ninety-eight merchantmen have already arrived at Uronstadt. MAY 11 —At the end of this month there will he a grand re. vlew of the Guards in garrison here, and all the troops can toned in the vicinity. 13r.nr.rx, MAY the 14th, the physicians of this city celebrated, as they have done for these fourteen years past, Dr. Jenner's grand discovery of vaccination. From the lists sent to the Society from all parts of the kingdom, it appears that the number of individuals vaccinated last year was 330,906. The number would probably have been 360,000 if the lists had - been complete. - In draining a marsh near Tugenwald, the prow of a ship in a state of petrifaction was found. The learned antiquary, Counsellor Ehrentrich, conceives it to be Pluenician. SEMLIN,.MAY 4 . - -Letters from Seres mention that the late Seraskier Aooulaboul was conducted through that city on Palm Sunday, under an escort of 500 men, to Demolika, the place of his exile.

SIR—In consequPnce of the many misconcep - .tions , ..that are abroad, with respect to the share which I have had in the destruction of Lofty BYRON'S Memoirs, I think it right to state the leading facts of that transaction to the public. Without entering into the respective claims of Mr. Mu nitAy and myself to the property in these Aleinoirs_ (a questio n w hi ch, now that they are destroyed, can be but of little moment to any one), it is Sufficient to say that, believing the man uscr i pt still to he mine, I placed it at the disposal of Lord liyaow s sister, Mrs. LEIGH, with the sole reservation of a protest against its total destruction ; at least without previous perusal and con sultation among the parties. The majority of the persons pre sent disagreed with this opinion, and it was the only point upon which there did exist any difference between us. f ' script was, accordingly, torn and burned before our eyes. ' .immediat e ly : paid to Mr. MURRAY, in the presence of the (in tlemen assembled, two thousand guineas, with interest, &C., ..being the amo unt o f w h at I owed him upon the security of my bond, and Ibr which I now stand indebted to my publishers, _Messrs. Longm an an d,c e . Since then the family of Lord BYRoN have, in a manner highly hpnourabl e to themselves, proposed am arrangement, by 'w hich the sum thus paid to Mr. Munnar might be reim buried me ; but, from feelings and considerations which it is u nnecessary lorily, declined their offer. I am, Sir, your's, &e. THOMAS MOORE. , At ay 26. PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, MAY 26. Mr. BROGDEN and others, from the Commons, brought up the Exchequer Bills' Amendment Bill, and other Bills, which were read a first time. Earl GREY presented a 'petition, very numerously signed, from the operative weavers of Glasgow, against the combination laws; a petition from Flexham, in favour of the County Courts' Bill ; and a petition from inhabitants of Westminster, against the power exercised by Magistrates of holding to bail and com mitting for libel. The petition, we understood, referred to the case of Mr. C. Butt, as an example of the abuse of this power ; and the Noble Lord, in presenting the petition, reminded the House that he had some years ago brought this subject under their consideration, and had contended that the practice was contrary to law. He had since directed his attention very much to the question, but had learned nothing which could induce him to alter his opinion. Ile therefore concurred with the_pe titioners in considering the practice to be contrary to the Bri tish Constitution. The Noble Earl made several other obser vations, which were not heard ; and the crowd and confusion below the bar rendered it also extremely difficult to collect any distinct account of the subsequent proceedings. IMPROVEMENT OF IRELAND. The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE said, that he had to pre_ ! sent a petition from a most respectable Gentleman, whose humanity and patriotism had been long known to the country at large, and who had lately turned his attention more particu larly to Ireland, and who thought that the extension of the system which he had introduced in Scotland, with respect to those particular parts of Ireland which lie described, would be beneficial to the United Kingdom. The petition was from Robert Owen, Esq., of New Lanark, who stated,• as he had mentioned, that the beneficial effects which his system had already produced in Scotland was calculated to produce similar effects in other parts. It was also the wish of the petitioner that their Lordships should appoint a Select Conunittee to examine various plans which the petitioner was prepared to submit, for the amelioration of the state of Ireland. The Noble Marquis said, that although he did not- entirely approve of the plans, he had felt it his duty to present the petition to the House; which was accordingly read and laid upon the table. The Earl of LAUDERDALE stated a conversation he had had with Mr. Owen on the subject of his plan. He observed to that Gentleman, that he did not know whether what he pro posed would make a better state of society than the 'present or not, but he was convinced that neither this nor any other Euro pean Government could exist, if it were carried into effect. this Mr. Owen replied, " I see you perfectly understand my plan."—(Laughter. ) The Marquis of DOWNSIIIRE observed that Mr. Owen's plan with regard to Ireland was different from that to which the Noble Lord had alluded. The Earl of LAUDERDALE did not pretend to know any thing of Mr. Owen's particular plan for Ireland. JOINT STOCK COMPANIES. The Earl of LAUDERDALE had given notice that lie would that night, move the addition of two resolutions relative to Joint Stock Companies to the Standing Orders; but as he wished to make some amendments in the resolutions, he should defer big motion until they were printed. When the printed copies were delivered, he would, perhaps on Monday, as we understood, submit the resolutions •to the consideration of their Lordships. In the mean time, if their Lordships permit ted him to adopt this course, he trusted that no Bills for in corporating Companies whi!th might now be pending, or which might now come before the House, would be allowed to ad vance beyond a first reading. The I Noble Lord then stated his amendments, and the resolutions so amended were 'ordered to be printed. PEERAGES' RESTORATION BILLS. The Earl of LIVERPOOL moved the second reading of the Bill for the Restoration of Honours to Wm. Nairn, Esq. The Earl of RA DNOR made some observations on the word ing of the Bill. The Earl of LIVERPOOL thought it would be proper to give the Bills a second reading, before any discussion as to the wording took place. The Earl of LAUDERDALE objected to the mode of pro ceeding. When an attainder was reversed, the party claim ing had still to make good his title. But the Noble Earl met him here by saying that these Bills were not for reversing at tainders, but for restoring honours. Ile contended, however, that the course should be similar, and that the parties ought to prove their cases. This was surely necessary, as there were facts stated in the Bills of which the House could know nothing. Passing the Bills as they now stood, might injure other parties who would hereafter apply for redress. He hoped that their Lordships would in their business take care to proceed with regularity. The Earl of LIVERPOOL recommended tlt their Lord ships, in a case of this kind, to proceed according to precedent and usage, which would form in the first instance a better guide than any reasoning on the subject. The report upon which the Bills were founded was drawn up upon evidence•strictly Inves tigated, and he certainly should not have brought those bills down had he not had • his Noble-and Learned Friend's concur- • rence to the course it was proposed to adopt. The cases of these bills were similar to that of the restoration of the title of the Earl of Doncaster. He was, however, perfectly willing that a Committee should be appointed to search for precedents, in order that all doubts on the subject might be settled. Lord MELVILLE held in his hand a copy of the bill for re storing to the Duke of Buccleuch the titles of Earl of Don- castor and Baron Scott, which was similar to the bilis now on the table. In that case it did not appear that there had been any inquiry instituted by the House. The Bill had had the royal signature, and upon that authority it appeared to have passed. The Earl of RADNOR had now obtained what he had hi therto wanted—a precedent which served to account for the course of proceeding. Lord HOLLAND . admitted the distinction which Noble Lords had drawn between bills for reversing attainders and for restoring honours. But, though a friend to the measure, he was not satisfied that the proposed course of proceeding with respect to the latter bills was regular. As it was meant to re store particular persons, their Lordships must be aware that the bills involved questions of fact, of the accuracy of which the House ought to be informed. The Earl of HARROW BY said, that the real distinction in the bills consisted in this—that the reversal of the Stafford at •tainder was an act of justice, whereas the restoration of the other titles was an act of grace and favour. Lord REDESDALE was of opinion that evidence should'be had. In passing one of these bills, their Lordships would de clare that such a person was tile heir of such another person, and they ought therefore to be first satisfied of that fact. If, on a question of voting for Irish Peers, it was required that the claimant should prove his descent, it was to be expected that the present bills would not be passed without a similar formali ty. If these bills were passed without inquiry, their Lord ships would not merely restore the persons therein named, but set aside all other claimants. The case of the restoration of the titles of Earl of Doncaster and Baron Scott was not in point; for the person restored being admitted to be Duke of Buccleuch, he must be considered the heir of the Duke of Monmouth, to whom the restored peerages belonged. The LORD CHANCELLOR stated, that when an English peerage was claimed, application was made to him. The party making the application was in all probability a total stranger to the Lord Chancellor. The first thing he had to do in the exe cution of his office was to call for proof of the party's claim._ When strict evidence was demanded, it often happened that the claimant was grievously offended, and it was very possible that a Lord Chancellor might fail, with all his efforts, to dis cover the truth, unless he referred the case to the Ho u s e o f Lords, which, for his part, he was always ready to do. With respect to the present bills, the evidence on which they were founded had been referred to the Attorney-General and other Officers of the Crown, and reported on before they were drawn up. There was, as had been already observed, a material distinction between the reversal of an attainder and the restor ation of a peerage. In the case of a reversal, the House decid ed nothing as to the possession of the honour, and the party claiming had to make good his title ; but the practice had been different with regard to restorations. It appeared that as to them, the circumstance of the Royal sign i manual being at tached to a bill, was considered proof of tae necessary evidence having been gone into, and as authority for the facts it con tained. Their Lordships ought not to depart from the usual practice in such cases, especially when it might be a familiar exercise of the Royal authority. Wishing that the Royal pre. rogative should be carefully maintained, he had no objection to the appointment of a Committee to search for precedents. Lord REDSDALE again contended for the propriety of going into evidence on the Bills. The Earl of LIVERPOOL suggested, that all the Bills should be read a second time, and then lie would move the ap pointment of a Committee to search for precedents. After a few words from the Earl of it ADNOR, this course was adopted the Bills were read, and the Committee appointed. I he Scotch Entailed Estates Bill went through a Committee. —Adjourned to Friday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Sir J. GRAHAM brought up , the Report of the Committee o;► the Equitable Loan Bill. ;li r . S. IVHITBREAD moved that Counsel, who were in attendance, should be heard against the Bill. Sir J 1; RA 11 AAI considered the hearing of Counsel would cause an unnecessary waste of the time of the I louse. Mr. H. SUMNER., Mr. Bnics•r, and Mr, PETRA:IIOOBE, expresse d similar.opinions. The noun then divided on the question of hearing Counsel ; the numbers were : Ayes, Noes, --- 1 2 - Majority . 40 Mr. PLUUMER'presented a petition from the Corporation London Assurance Company, against the Bill for repealing so much of the Act of the 6th of Geo. I. as restricts partnerships from insuring ships• - Sir It. SHAW' presented' a petition from an auctioneer of Dublin against the Equitable Loan Bill. The British Annuity Company Bill was read the third time, and passed. Mr. Sergeant ONSLOW presented a petition from the inha bitants of Ilford, praying for the abolition of slavery. CASE OF THE LATE MR. SMITH, THE MISSIONARY. Petitions, praying the House to take into consideration the case of the l a te Mr. Smith, were presented from the inhabitants of Wi ga n", by Lord - LixDsar; from a dissenting congrega tion in Cumberland, by Mr. Cu RWEN ; and from the inhabi tants of Rochdale, by Mr BIACK/3URNE. Mr. WODEHOUSE presented a petition from an dual, praying that it might be made allowable for persons who made deposits in savings ban's to turn those deposits into an nuities. Mr. SYKES presented . a petition from the Merchants and prayingthat Parliament would take into cBohnisPilewranten o consideration whether llull' a moreeligible mode of recruiting the navy than by impressment night not be adopted ; also a pe tition.from the Bankers, Mer:hants, &c. of Hull, praying that Attornies may be permitted tepractice as Notaries Public. Sir R. SHAW presented apetition from the Paper-hanging Manufacturers of Dublin, paying for an alteration in the tinty on their Licences. Mr. F. LEWIS thought itright for the House, to know that the whole sum paid by these fades amounted only to 1,200/. per annum. It would be satsfactory to the House to know also, that a Bill was now in preparation to the effect prayed for, one of the consequences o which would, he 'believed, in crease the receipts of these lie:rice-duties, which had been. so strangely unproductive. Sir C: COLE presented :a petition from Swansea, against Negro Slavery. , Mr. CURTEIS moved fora copy of the Orders in Council relative to the countervailng duties on French vessels coming to English ports; which vere ordered. Mr. CURTEIS also give notice of his intention to move early in the next session, for a Bill to alter the existing laws relative to seamen's apprentices. MR. OWEN, OF LANARK. Mr. S. RICE presented a petition from Mr. R. Owen, of Lanark, in which he stated that he had invented a plan for the amelioration of the condition of the poorer classes of Ire land. For his own part. the Hon. Gentleman did not see his way sufficiently clear to pursue the subject any further than by presenting the petition ; but he would willingly lend his aid if any other Gentleman should be disposed to bring it be fore the House. Sir IV. CRESPIGNY said, he had advised Mr. Owen never to bring his plan again before Parliament. Colonel TRENCH deprecated the visionary nature of Mr. Owen's plan, the object of which was to destroy the roots of so_ ciety, and to offer no pubic benefit. Mr. COLVILLE presented a petition from the inhabitants of Kilmore, praying that the Several parishes of Ireland should be empowered by the authority of Parliament to maintain their Own poor.. _ _ Mr. J. SMITH presented a petition from George Pryme, Esq., of Cambridge, against the Legacy Duties. Lord MILTON presented a petition from a Mr. Paterson, formerly employed id the collection of customs duties in the port of London, praying for an inquiry into his conduct. His Lordship also presented a petition from Thomas Flana gan, complaining of abuses in Courts of Law • and petitions against Slavery, from Whitby, a nd from Stansted. COURTENAY presented a petition from the inhabi tants of Exeter, against the Beer Bill. Sir G. CLERK presented a petition from the tanners of Mus selburgh, against thellides and Skins Regulation Bill. MISSIONARY SMITH. Petitions praying for an inquiry into the case of this person were presented by . Mr. Egerton, from Macclesfield ; by Mr. B. - Wilbraham, from Dover; by Mr. Burrell, from Newbury and from Brighton ; by Mr. Legh-Keck, from Market Harborough and Henley; ,by Mr. Jones, from Carmarthen ; by Mr. Lamb ton, from Barnard Castle; by Sir John Wrottesley, from Wolverhampton ; by Lord George Cavendish, from Derby and I3elper ; by Mr. S: Wortley, from Whitby; by Lord Milton, from York, from Idle, from Northallerton, from Halifax. All of which were otfiered to be laid on the table, and to be printed. ' _ _ • Mr. liYGON presented a petition fzom the town of Stour bridge, againut the Excise Licences. DUBLIN STEAM-PACKETS. Sir R.'SELAW, pursuant to notice, moved for the production of copies of the - correipondeJnce between the Post-office and Mr. Watt, relative to . the boilers of the Royal Sovereign steam packet; also a report of the Engineers sent down to inspect the same. The Hon. Gentleman prefaced the motion with a few observations tending to show that the means of communication between Dublin* and Holyhead, notwithstanding all the ex pence which Government had wasted upon it, were so inade quate, that the packets were continually passed by the steam craft of private owners,-and that the grievance was so severely felt, that a number of Dublin bankers and merchants, having memorialized the Treasury in vain, had determined to put ves sels of their own afloat if immediate remedies were not found by the Post-office. • Sir H. PARNELL supported the Motion, and afterwards moved for Returns of the ten longest voyages made by the ' three Post-office packets in the years 1821, 1822, and 1823. Mr. lIERRIES acquiesced in the motion, but could not for bear entering into a justification of the Post-office, the duties of which were generally allowed to be fulfilled in a most exem plary way—he had almost said with a promptitude and fidelity unequalled in any other department. He would take care to have included in these returns a paper written by the Post-office especially upon this subject, which would fully exonerate them from any imputation. USURY LAWS. Alderman lIEYGATE moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the more equitable imposition of the penalties in case of Usury. Ile had before pointed out to the House the enormous disproportion which existed between the degrees of offence and punishment. The penalties of the statute were triple the amount of the usurious debt. If a man took 51. more than lawful in terest upon 100,000/., the penalties and loss of the debt would be 400,0001. If another took 201. beyond lawful interest on 1001., his total loss in debt and penalties, though he had of. fended 20 times more grievously than the first, would be no more than 4001. , This was a state of things which rendered the laws either" cruel and unjust, or that which more frequently happened, wholly inoperative on accoant of their iniquitous violence. He reserved himself as to details and further ex , planation of the principle until the discussion on the Bill.— Leave given. SCOTCH POOR BILL. Mr KENNEDY moved the Order of the Day for the pur pose of having it discharged. But though he gave up the sub ject for the present, there was such crying detects in the Scotch Law under this head, that he -was determined to bring it for ward in the next session, when neither clamour nor misrepre sentation, nor any other indirect means, could avail in prevent. ing him from carrying it through, should the Mouse be found to side with him. Lord A. HAMILTON declared himself hostile to the Bill. The LORD-ADVOCATE said that the sense of Scotland was decidedly against it. Air. W. DUNDAS recommended that it should not be brought forward again. - 31r. H. DRUMMOND decidedly opposed the sweeping course which it was to take. The Bill was then withdrawn by consent ; the other Orders of the Day were disposed of, and the House adjourned at HALF PAST SEVEN O'CLOCK.

CAUTION TO COACHMEN LEAVING THEIR fioascs.—Last night, as Dr. BRIJMEIt'S carriage was standing at the top of Holborn-hill, the coachman being away, the horses suddenly start ed off, and galloped down the hill with great ra pidity ; the coachman immediately pursued, and in endeavouring to stop the horses, which were very spirited, he was unfortunately thrown down and trampled upon, and the wheels of the car riage passed over hip,. 110 was taken up in as apparently lifeless state, and conveyed in the carriage to the Hospital, where he remains in a dreadful state, little hopes being entertained of his recovery.

OFFICIAL. ACCOUNTS FROM LISBON. W e have received by Express the Elm'lo of yesterday, containing the following most im portant intelligence :-- (From the Etoile of yesterday.) We have received, by an extraordinary con.. veyance, the Madrid Gazette of the 20th inst., which enables us to give official news from Lisbon, dated the 11th inst. The Infant Don Miguel received orders from Ills august Fattier to repair on board the ship Windsor Castle. He obeyed immediately ; the King was already on board the same ship. The first interview presented a m ost touching and imposing spectacle. The firmness and the majesty of a Father and of au offended Sovereign were combined upon the countenance of the King with the feelings of nature, whilst the young Prince did himself honour by his filial submission. His Royal Highness explained the artifices and seductions by which he had been led to act. The King, after having represented to him the fault that he had committed, present ed to him, in token of pardon, his august bands on which the Infant respectfully bent. He thou withdrew into another part of the ship. The Corps Diplomatique were present at this solemn scene, and did not return to land till the evening. The King is still (11th of May) on board the Windsor Castle. It would appear that the King will not disembark until the afternoon or to-morrow, the day of the anniversary of his birth. His orders are every where executed with due obedience. All things will take their accustomed course ; and certain energetic mea sures will prevent the return of the excess of which we have been witness. The illuminations and rejoicings of eYery kind prove the general happiness. The Marquess of Palmella addressed, on the 10th, the following official letter to the Duke or Villahermosa, Ambassador of his Catholic Ma" jesty :-- " The Undersigned Minister and Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs has the honour to send to the Duke of Villahermosa, Ambassa.. dor, Sec., a copy of the Proclamation, an d of the Supplement to the Gazelle, which, with other pieces, have appeared on the subject of the events which have resulted in the reestablish ment of calm and of public order, which had so unfortunately been disturbed. 44 Every kind of reflection would now be super fluous, your Excellency having been yourself ao eye-witness of every thing that has passed. But the Undersigned cannot but express to your Excel- lency the feelings of gratitude by which his Majesty is penetrated, for the assistance and the firmness with which, in common with the rest of the Corps DeplomatiTie) you bare protested against those acts, which, b e i ng ar bi.. trary and illegal, were in violation of th ose prin" ciples that nations have recognized for the con' servation of public orders. ts it is impossible to doubt but that the unanimous resolution taken by the worth/ r epresentatives of the Sovereigns, the AIN° and Friends of his Majesty, on the dal of the 30th, and the declaration that the/ made in common, powerfully contributed to prevent the disastrons consequences of this unhappy crisis. Never will the remembranc e be obliterated of this act—one of the most dot" traordinary in the history of diplomacy, bu t which has only demonstrated the friendly Ohm" and the community of sentiments which have Uhil mot bet!
