T- 44 . - 1331 LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 26, 1855. The Chancellor of the Exchequer must indulge in very brilliant anticipations as to the state of the revenue should ho persist in forcing the Newspaper Stamp Bill on the House of Commons. The guardians of the public purse must he pre pared to yield to the Right Honourable Baronet the blind and unreasoning confidence so un sparingly exacted by his predecessor if they con • sent to sacrifice irretrievably at least two hundred thousand pounds, or more probably a quarter of a million sterling, before hearing the financial statement of the now Minister, and his exposition of the financial prospects of the country. Wen the Newspaper Stamp Bill as anxiously desired as it is decidedly rejected, an well by the communit) in general as by those pecuniarily interested ii its working, it would still be a rash experitnen• to sanction before the Budget had been opened, and full information accorded as to the nature of the substitute or substitutes to be provided. Uncle] existing circumstances, however, we can scarcer conceive the possibility of the reasonable applica tion of Mr. DEEDES being rejected, or the measure being recklessly or indecently forced on, in spit( of the grave objections that have been put for ward against its provisions. Since last we commented on this important subject, a class possessing greater practical ex perience, and better qualified to form a sound judgment as to the probable results of the mea sure, should it unfortunately be suffered to pass into a law, has spoken out distinctly and unequi vocally. If there were any weight in the argu ments put forward in favour of the abolition of the Stamp, the members of the newspaper trade would find it their interest to advocate the change. After mature and attentive consideration of all its provisions, they have, however, arrived at the conclusion that it will materially enhance the difficulties of conducting their business, and ren der labours, already exceedingly arduous, almost impossible to be performed. The newsvendors, at their meeting, a repel., whereof appeared in our impression of Friday, besides entering into the general policy of the measure, and showing the probable deterioration of high-class journals, were enabled to grapple with many details on which the Chancellor of the Ex chequer and the House of Commons are profoundly ignorant. Thus, for instance, as to the probable loss to the revenue, the leading men of the trade could confidently declare that it would be far greater than had been anticipated ! And whys Simply, because from the increased competition it would be necessary to reduce expenses to the lowest possible scale. As Mr. WILD truly re marked—" If we had a cheap press, the journah would be sent to their destination by the cheapest conveyance !" There can be no doubt that it would be far cheaper to send them in bulk by railway rather than i n s i ng l e cop i es through the P ost. It is, therefore, a legitimate and strictly lee eenclusion, that the railways would suc cessfully a o mpete with the Post-office in the con veyance of unstamped papers. Ind ee d, a t th e present moment many stamped journals are sent by rail, in consequence of the additional time and greater facilities allowed by the great companies than by the national establishment. If then, under existing circumstances , men may be found willing to pay rail by rather than send free by post, i t may be regarded as certain that few will voluntarily pay a much larger sum by post than what will be de manded for the preferable conveyance. It iB therefore more than probable that the loss will be nearer 400,000/. than 250,0001., and for that there will be no compensation, inasmuch as — putting out of the question the argument s , , clearly and ably put by the chairman of the meeting as to the results of the onslaught that will be made on the paper duty—it by no mean , follows that there would be an increased consump tion of duty-paying paper, the tax being levied according to weight, and the flimsy fabric likely to be in demand, when " the cheap and nasty " system was in operation, being much lighter than that on which any of our journals are now pub lished. Should any person remain sceptical on point a comparison of any respectable ELIg. - lish newspaper with one of the best of the American journals will at once convince him ; and it must be borne in mind that there is no paper tax nor any Excise restrictions at the other side of the Atlantic. The inferior quality of paper would, therefore, be even more largely resorted to in this country than in the United States. So much for the revenue. The circulation of intelligence would not be increased, even if the journals remained equally efficient, and the num ber issued was largely increased. At present, in consequence of the postal facilities allowed, there are few papers that do not pass through several hands. They may be read the first day in town, then transmitted to the country, and passed two or three times through country offices; in fact, three or four persons frequently join at present to pur chase a metropolitan journal—a course which will be greatly impeded if the proposed alterations should receiN e the legislative sanction. One of the chief difficulties was, however, over looked or disregarded before the opinions of these practical men had been elicited. It would, it appears, be almost impossible for the parties to pack and sort a mixed edition of stamped and unstamped journals when driven to the very last moment as is necessarily the case at present. Be sides, delays would take place in the Post-office itself. In order to guard against fraud many papers would be examined and frequently mis laid. Regarding the matter then in all its varied aspects, considering its probable effects with re spect to the revenue, to the community at large, and to the proprietors, conductors, and vendors of newspapers, and the steadily increasing feeling o f dissatisfaction, it is impossible to re s i s t th e demand for postponement and further informa tion. The law, as it now stands, avowedly works well, and it is a sound principle to let well enough alone. A loblolly boy on board a man of-war—a pow der monkey to a midshipman's mess—although , by no means reposing on a bed of roses, enjoys a perfect sinecure when compared with an officer of the army medical department. Although his masters may be numerous and exigante, he yet knows their number and the full extent of their own responsibility, so as to be enabled to calculate with tolerable precision the " whippings" he is likely to receive in the course of the day or week. Besides, his task-masters, though tyrannical and unreasonable themselves, support their servant against all others. It may be from their selfish motives...from being well aware that unless they did so he would be good for nothing, and that they could not enjoy the advantages they required ' from his exertions. But the medical officer is not only powerless to act for himself, but even with prolonged experience he is totally ignorant as to the point at which the surveillance of one department ends and that of another begins. Let the evils coming under his observation be ever so glaring—let the men placed under his charge be enduring the greatest privations their very lives seriously endangered from pre ventible causes —he can yet do nothing. He may " represent" whatever he pleases. The chances of obtaining redress are certainly very trifling. But complaints are strictly selon les regles, and therefore he may occupy as much time as he pleases in writing ; but the moment lie ven• tures to give an order he finds his authority con temned, and himself pounced on by some one or more of the many departments with which he is so unfortunately connected. The evidence of Dr. ANDREW SMITH, the soi• disant Director-General of the Medical Depart ment, places this grievance in a strong point of view. He finds himself in the first, instance placed under the direct control of some half-a lozen different departments, all unwilling to take my step last it might be trenching on the autho- rity of others, but peculiarly sensitive respecting Any interference with their own. No one, it ap pears, can accurately define the line of demarcation between the different jurisdictions. The parties themselves will abstain from giving any order, or doing anything, but, " like dogs in the manger," they are prepared at once to attack the person who may endeavour to cut the - Gordian knot by assuming the responsibility which ',hey themselves had previously repudiated. En fact the practice - appears to be that they will neither do anything themselves nor permit others to do it. It is not merely the higher authorities that are io troublesome. It is true that the Director- 'general appears to owe a divided allegiance to the secretary of War, the Secretary at War, the Ails er-General of the Ordnance, the civic authority of the Beard of Ordnance, the Commander-in-Chief, :c., &c., &c. Now that the Secretaryship at War :gas been abolished, he may, as Dr. SMITH re- narked, have one master less ; but still it will be Ldmitted that quite enough remain to perplex Lad puzzle the clearest head. The minor annoy- tnces are, however, far greater. A host of mas ters, whose name is legion, arise at o'very pint to .bstruct the medical officer on duty. The military iommandant of the hospital nominally placed under his control, the engineer officer, the transport Service, the Ambassador or Consul, the )fficer of the Ambulance Corps, and a host of )thers too numerous to mention. But all the annoyances vanish in comparison to chose occasioned by the Purveyor, a functionary Arhose duties appear to be procuring the various natters ordered by the medical officer, but who, ;enerally speaking, seems to take pleasure in thwarting him, and repudiating his autho rity on every possible occasion. At Scutari, Septuagenarian named WARD, who was .t accustomed to the old way of doing things, and had not vigour enough for the position," was ap pointed purveyor, and many of the deaths that occurred may be directly traced to his perverse Thstinacy and senile imbecility. He had some )xaggerated sense of his own importance, that led him to turn a deaf ear to every suggestion, and directly refuse to obey every order. What pri rate individuals could easily obtain, he either would not or could not procure, and he hardened Llis heart against the sufferings of the patients, being wholly indifferent as to the privations which they were undergoing. According to the testi mony already given, it would seem that there was prima, facie evidence to establish not one, but nany oases of manslaughter against him. A Medical Board reported that he was not fit for luty ; but Lord RAGLAN, with cruel kindness— kindness to the red-tapist martyr, but cruel to be hundreds, aye, thousands, of patients whose Unctions were materially enhanced by his mis 012(111.d—remonstrated against his removal, and : f i •e emcie retained n e d S i o ca fla him after his inefficiency, and worse th an ncy, had b ecome Painfully notorio 113. might be some excuse for the nrie there Wien, were pl aced in such untoward :ircumstances. But there can be no extenuation everything they requi re d. These tii earlier newspaper paper i f th e inaccurate reports, the false s t atements, that theyl is e ws accounts ledh had to the s cep ticism with which the a were received, and de layed the remedies that were s o ur g entl y r equired. endeavoured to screen the of their patient s endea "rule men who should h ave keenly felt the priva tions real delinquents. From this_charge, as w ell as for THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, mAßcur 26, 1855. the apathetic indifference with which they re garded the fearful state of affairs depicted in the evidence of Messrs. MACDONALD, STAFFORD, and OSBORNE, they will find it difficult to exonerate themselves. One thing at least is certain—that the entire medical department must be completely reorganised, and that the powers and responsibi lity of the officers must be materially increased, so that there can be no valid apology for any de ficiency or shortcomings in what may be essential to the health and comfort of the patients. THE FLEET IN TLIE BLACK SEA AND MEDITERRANEAN. We have now in the Black Sea and Mediterranean a fleet more than twice as effective as we had this time last year. Sir E.

PARIS, MARCH 26, 8 The Moniteur announces that General. Forey leaves the command he held in the army of tho East, and proceeds to take the command of the Oran division in Algeria. Hurt in his military honour by unworthy calumnies, the General had tendered his resig nation to the Emperor, who did not accept it. His Majesty did not wish to deprive himself of the services of an officer whose long and brilliant military career is a reply to those calumnious re ports. The General insists upon his resignation being accepted, and the Emperor replies thereto by giving him the command of the important division of Oran. The French Government have received a telc. graphic despatch from General Canrobert, in Which he states that, in 48 hours from the time at which he wrote, the bombardment of Sebastopol would commence. VIENNA, MARCH 25. The sixth conference will be held to-morrow. The third point will be discussed, that which relates to the diminution of .the power of Russia in the Black Sea. The protocols relative to the second point will be signed at the beginning of the conference. MARSEILLES, MARCH 25. The Thabor, which left Constantinople on the 15th, and which was expected yesterday, has not arrived. The Imperatrix, which left Balaklava on the 13th of March, reached Malta on the 20th. Nothing of importance had taken place before Sebastopol. In the event of Russia proving too unreason able in her demands at Vienna, the camp of Con stantinople, consisting of some 40,000 or 50,000 men, will be sent to Eupatoria, and, with the Turkish contingent, be employed in effecting a diversion in favour of the allies before Sebastopol. In the meantime there appears no cessation in the expediting of reinforcements and munitions of war of all kinds. FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING. The rumour of a' visit of the Emperor of the French to England has often been circulated since the alliance between the countries, and is at last likely to be realised. The visit has been decided within the last few days, and in official quarters it is affirmed that it will take place on Easter Mon day. As for the j mrney to the Crimea, nothing more can be said than it is likely to depend on the turn matters take at Vienna, and if it be true that the difficulty about Sebastopol will be removed otherwise than by storming and capture, there is no reason why his Majesty should undertake so fatiguing a journey, not without risk in its execu tion, and far from certain in its results. Rumours circulated some days ago of a con spiracy having been discovered, the object of which was to assassinate the Emperor, and of many ar rests being made. It is true that from 50 to 60 persons have been taken into custody on such a charge. Among them are a professor of literature, two or three letter-carriers, and the rest belonging to the lowest class of Socialists. In Paris the idea thatwe are approaching a pacific situation is gaining ground rapidly The Moniteur publishes the text of the decree which was presented to the Legislative Corps yes terday to extend the session of that body to the evening of the 11th April. The illoniteur publishes a decree appointing the members of the Imperial Council of Public In struction for 1855. The names are for the most part of those of the persons who composed the council last year. An Imperial decree promotes General of Bri gade Count A. de Monet to the rank of General of Division ; and Colonels Breton, Braive, Do Seve linges, Soleille, Pierre, ChaLfroid, Labadie, Cauvin do Bourguet, and De Pecqueult de Lavarande to that of Generals de Brigade. The Emperor has just ordered M. Fould to pre sent Vely Pacha with a very handsome service of Sevres porcelain, the Ottoman Minister having ex pressed a wish to Fcarry back with him to Turkey some specimens of the productions of that manu facture. A letter from -Toulon states that the Imperial yacht, Reine Hortense, will not be completely fitted up before the end of the month, and it is therefore thought there, that should the Emperor proceed to the Crimea, as has been affirmed, his departure will not take place so soon as some journals have announced. The Trident ship of the line sailed from Toulon on Thursday for Constintinople, having ou board 26 officers and 719 rank and file of the 73d regi ment of the line. In addition she carried out 254 men of the 47th regiment, and a large quantity of provisions and' ammunition for the army. The steam-fri g ate Ulloa arrived at Toulon the preceding day from Constantinople and Kamiesh, having on board a number of wounded and convalescents from the army of the East, several of whom were English. A letter from Marseilles of the 23d, says : "A great number of sailing transports have been en• gaged for some days past in taking on board horses and mules for the Crimea, and in a f.,w days a regular fleet of vessels will leave this port. Th 3 Pharamend steamer, with 110 soldiers on board, belonging to the 10th regt. of the line, and the Lycurgue, with 40 artillery men, 102 privates of the 10th regt. ' 37 military workmen, and several horses, left yesterday for Constantinople. The Carmel steam-packet left this, morning having on board 210 Chasseurs de Vincennes, an English officer (Sir. Geo. Maclean, Commissary-General of the English army), and 30 other passengers, and the principal hotels are crowded with English officers and their families. The Cardinal Archbishop of Toledo has arrived here on his return to Spain from Rome. The Mongibello, which arrived the day before yesterday from Naples, brought to France the body of Baron Charles de Rothschild lately deceased at Naples. The body was immediately sent to Paris."_ Major-General Paolo Cavero, Intendant-Gene ral of the Piedmontese army, and several other officers belonging to the expedition, embarked on the 21st on board the French vessel Vatican for Constan.tinople.

VIENNA, March 22.—The first of the Four Points is settled, and the second, which relates to the free navigation of the Danube, was yesterday entered into by the Conference. During the first three meetings all went on smoothly enough, but the sitting of yesterday is said to have been very stormy. What it was that roused the bile of the representative of Russia is unknown, but the offen sive proposition is supposed to have emanated either from €ount Buol or Baron Prokesch, as both those Ministers were yesterday evening in very bad repute in the Russian camp. Political correspon dents, like those diplomatists who aro not members of the Conference, can form no clear and connected idea of what is going on ; but you may be as sured that the Russian eagle will net escape without having had its wings and talons so closely clipped that it will for the future be comparatively harm less. Perhaps no one in this city, except the Con ference Ministers and their assistants, has even the most distant idea of what the three protocols already signed contain ; but authentic information has reached me that the way in which the ques tion relative to Moldavia, Wallachia, and Servia has been settl e d is , highly satisfactory to the four LORD DUNDONALD AND THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE 'SUN. SlB, —The perilous duties to which our fivefold-deci mated army is still exposed by rival co-operation in the desperate act of storming Sebastopol, or by the continu ance of the siege until pestilence or other causes shall complete its ruin, induce me thus singly to encounter all the ridicule anticipated by those who avoid compromising their julgment even by condescending to inquire if my plans are absurd, or whether in truth they are capable " speedily, certainly, and cheaply to surmount obstacles which our gallant, persovering, and costly armies and fleets have filed to accomplish." I, therefnre, as a faithfUl subject of her Majesty, and for the interests of humanity, now declare my intention, without further delay, to communicate to the wise and energetic ally of her most gracious Majesty the means not only to spare the remnant of the British army, but to insure that of France, by the speedy destruction of the defences of Sebastopol. As to the fortresses in the Baltic, time does not press. I have offered to annihilate them—the reception or re jection of which offer rests with her Majesty's Govern ment.--I am, sir, your obedient servant, London, March 24. DUNDONALD. COURT CIRCULAR.

SIR HENRY BISHOP'S CONOERT.I.--The success which attended Sir Henry Bishop's " Vocal Afternoon Con certs " at the Hanover-square Rooms, has induced the spirited entrepreneur, Mr. Mitchell, of Bend-street, to give another entertainment of a similar kind, though on a much more extensive scale, which is announced to take place t)-morrow evening at Exeter-hall. The services of our greatest English tenor, Mr. Sims Reeves, and of Miss Birch, have been secured, in order that the fullest jostle° may be done to some of the most popular solo works of one of England's best composers, for whose ad mirable, concerted, and choral pieces a worthy render ing has also been insured by the engagement of those excellent glee singers, Masters Sullivan, Malech, Cooke, Norton, Messrs. Francis, Benson, Lad, Bucklaud, and Lawler, together with an efficient choir amounting to 200 voices. We sincerely hope that this new and hon. oaralila effort of Mr. Mitchell's in favour of native art may be duly appreciated and substantially supported by the musical public. Wo understand that the "Afttx• norm Vocal Concerts" are to be resumed after Easter. SAILING-PBIGATES. Guns. Men. H.-p. Commanders. Leander 5O ... .500 ... Captain Peel SCREW - FRIGATES.

WOLVERHAMPTON, SATURDAY EVENING. A large number of colliers assembled this morning at the Fighting Cocks, on the Dudley-road. After some time spent in deliberation, a party proc ee d e d towards Wolverhampton, armed with pikc4handles and bludgeons'. Nearly all the shops along the expected route were closed. Tl.di mob, receiving no check, bad got nearly to the centre of the town, demanding relief at the pro vision and beer-shops as they passed along, threa'l,ening that if refused they would take it. rema i n;e3drhe r t o r f rioter; are in custody. The police, armed with cutlasses, charged the mob, and the appearance of the pensioners' bayo ne t s com pleted their dismay, and they h urr i e dl y di sperse d . The anticipated retaliation on th e par t o f t h e mo b at Bilston, on Friday night, was prev en t e d by th e arr i va l o f a corps of the Essex Rifles from Weedon, under the coin mand of Captain Cope. To-day Bil s t on h as b een ver y quiet, but the wrvices of the y eomanry were d eeme d ne cessary at Darla=ton on Friday even i ng , an d th e Wal sall troop, under the command of Ciplain Chawner, soon arrised. Their appearance w as sufficient to quell the disturbance, and this mor n i nl t h e troop returned to Walsall. No sooner had they left . than the mob began again to collect ni the streets, an d to comm i t a num b er of petty thefts. A second app earance o f th e t roop o f yeomanry put them to fl ght, a s th ey h a d no di spos i t i on to endanger themselves by a co lli s i on. At the Birchilla, near W a ! sall, a meeting of collier,- was held this moraing, and after compelling. the men employed in Mr. Miner's pit t o l eave work they seized a number of articles and threw th em d own t h e s h a f t o f the pit. About 7GO proceed e d t o W a l sa ll i n a b ody. On their way they committed va rious deprelation., and were in the act of plundering th e mar k e t, w h en a l arge number of townsmen, healed by some pr i ze -fi g h ters, Digbeth to the b r id ge. Thu ' yeomanry at charged and forced them do wn Hi g h- s t reet an d this thr crisis ough entered the town, on t h e i r return from Darlab ton, and their appearance compl e t e d th e pan i c, th e mo b at once taking to flight. Th e s h ops were k ept closed and the magistrates sat perma nen tl y to swear i n spec i a l es, in _ the day, with few exceptions, to . be prep are d f or any f u t ure a t tac k o cf oo f rn the eb m l E o SUNDAY, MID-DAT. Thanks to the preparations made by the authorities there has been no recurrence of disturbance in the towns above named ; a lot of idlers was about the streets of Bilston late last night, and a policeman received a severe blow from a stone thrown by a❑ unknown hand. A large mob assembled in the neighbourhood of Walsall in the evening, but dispersed without doing any mis chief. If we pass over to-morrow (Monday), always an idle and a noisy day in this district, in safety, in all probability no further fears need be entertained. HATISARKST.--.Mr. Wilde, the respected treasurer of this theatre, takes his benefit on Wednesday evening next, when the following attractive series of entertain ments will be performed ;—The Secret Agent, Bayle Bar naby's capital farce, His Last Legs (in which Mr. Hudson will appear for this night only), and the last new spirited ballet, in which the incomps.rable Perea Nena and her trouptS will appear. Mr. Wilde deserves a bumper. STRAND THEATRE.—Mr. Payne, the acting manager of this pretty little theatre, takes his benefit this evening. The entertainments are of the most attractive descrip tion, and we have no doubt Mr. Payne will receive the reward he deserves. FLIRTHIB DIFENSEIN OF CRONSFADT.—We have reason to believe that telegraphic despatches have been received announcing that some Russian ships of the line and other vessels have been sunk between piles in the navigation way at Cronstadt. REPRESENTATION OP ASHTON-UNDER-LTNE. —: A. state ment having appeared in the papers that Mr. Hindley, the member for this borough, purposes retiring from public life, we believe we may state that it is unfounded, and that the hen, gentleman has no such intention.— Manchester Guardian. LIVERPOOL, MARCH 24.--SAILING OF THE BALTIC.-- The United States ma il steam-snip Baltic, Captain Com stock, sailed from L iver p oo l for New York this day, at a quarter before tw o p. m ., with a full cargo, the usual mails, and 74 passengers. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. --A note from Genoa of 21st states, that the submarine telegraphic communica tions between the Continent and the island of Sardinia aro completed.

Cecil Forester, will march from Barracks the ;S thepita. t i Barracks, fe G u a rdswiwill paWindsor,rl to ch R f geet's Park m Regent's Park Barracks to Knightsbridge ; and the 2d Life Guards from Knightsbridge Barracks to Windsor. Allied Powers. - Some slight misgivings were felt that Austria would, to use the expression of the honourable member for Tamworth, " humbug" the Western Powers ; but Count Thiel and Baron Prokesch are said to have behaved in a way which excited- the admiration of the representatives of England and France. When. Lord John Russell spoke, and on what subject he spoke, is unknown ; but he must recently have made an excellent speech, as Baron .Prokesch yesterday expressed his high admiration of his eloquence. You will naturally find that the foregoing is a very meagre account of what is going on here, but, the informa tion which you have hitherto' received; and may in future receive from me on the subject cf the Conferences, is likely to prove perfecily . correct. This morning a Cabinet messenger- was sent off to England with despatches, probably contain ing an account of what took place at the Confe rence of yesterday, which lasted from one till five. As has been said, the first point is settled, but it would be erroneous to suppose that the Conference has entered into the more minute details of the matter. The fundamental principles of the first condition have, however, been exactly defined, and, as is said, in several paragraphs. Mr. Hammond, the Under-Secretary of State, has been confined to his room for the last 10 days with the gout, but it. has not been so severe as to interfere with his pro fessional duties. Telegraphic intelligence has been received here that one of the Queen's messengers, who was journeying from this city to Constantinople, ley way of Bucharest, had arrived at the Walla,chiau capital, but se much hurt that it was necessary to send on his despatches by a Tatar. It appears that the carriage or light waggon in which he travelled was overturned. Prince Goftschakoff and .M. de Titoff have evi dently considered it necessary to rally all their forces around them, for M. Muchin, who was for merly Russian Consul in S erv i a , an d M. von Chalt schinsky, the Consul-General, who was formerly so powerful in Moldavia and Wallachia, are now here. The Chevalier Timotheus Knersevitch, the Chief of the Administrative Department of the Servian Central " Chancellerie," who has arrived here on a special mission from the Hospodar, has already waited on Count Buol. Opinions are divided as to the office which Lieut.-Gen. Count Degenfield is to fill. According to some, he is to be Minister of War ; according to others, he will be sent as Mili tary Commissioner to England. The last version can hardly be correct, as Count Dengenfield's rank and standing in the army are far higher than those of Count de Crenneville, who is Commissioner in Paris. In order that your readers may have a clearer idea of what is going on here, and be able to judge for themselves what chances Caere are of the pre sent negotiations leading to peace, the bases pro• posed by the three Powers, and subsequently ac cepted by Russia, will be placed in juxta-position to those which Prince Gortschakoff even on the 7th of January would fain have forced on tho re presentatives of England, France, and Austria : " The Aide Memoire of the "The four points, according Allies ran : to the Russian interprets "ln order more exactly tion. to define the sense which their Governments attach to each of the principles con tained in the feur articles, but reserving to themselves, as they have always done, the right of making such other special conditions as may, in addition to the four guar ant:es, be by them deemed necessary for the general interest of Europe, an , l for preventing the recur rence of the present compli cations, the representatives of Austria, France, an d Great Britain do declare— "1.

At all events, the free navigation of the Danubewould not bo secured, unless it should be placed under the control of a syndical authority invested with the necessary powers for destroy ing the obstacles now existing at the mouths of the river, or such as may subsequently be formed there.

If the above be honourably fulfilled by Russia, the Western Powers and Turk6y will have no rea son to complain that they have shed their blood and expended their treasure in vain. We are in possession of Count Nesselrode's circular of the 10th Match, but no great importance is attached to it by ,professional politicians, although its object evidently is to remove the unpleasant impression which the manifesto, published by Alexander 11. on his accession to the throne, was calculated to make. It may produce a favourable effect on the European exchanges, but the diplomatic world is not likely to be deceived by the specious language of the veteran Russian Statesman. The address which the Prussian Chamber of Deputies proposes to present to the King has created a great sensa tion here, as it is an unmistakeable condemnation of the foreign policy of his (4overnment, although couched in most respectful and guarded language. THE PRINCIPALITIES. A letter from Jassy of the 20th, in the Danube, says :—" In consequence of an order received from Bucharest, preparations are being made at Ibrail for the reception of French troops who are coating there from Varna, ananda supply of provisio ns i s being collected for their use." PRUSSIA. BERLIN, MARCH 23.—The Chambers have re jected the project of address by a large majority. This was naturally to be expected, when the Mi nister for Foreign Affairs informed the house that, albeit he held himself responsible for all acts, the foreign politics of ,the country were in the hands of the King. To vote for the address was therefore, in the general opinion, to ex press condemnation, not so much of the Cabinet, which is a fixture, but of the King himself, whose name is perpetually dragged forward, by deficient and failing ministers, as a shield. The bill for according ministers permission to dispose of the remainder of the 30 millions loan was also adopted, but with all the amendments proposed in committee, one of which is that the faculty shall not extend beyond the 31st of December next—a restriction which shows the degree of confidence placed in the Government, even by the majority. Thus the two questions are set at rest, but not without another severe rent in the statesman's mantle of the Minis ter-President. BELGIUM. We find nothing in the Brussels papers to imply ha,t the minißterial crisie in Belgium i drawing t° a close. Matters appear to have remained in the stutu quo since the withlrawal of M. de Decker from the task of forming a cabinet. The Emanci pation seems to hold out a faint hope that M. H. de Brouckere may be induced to ag ain place him self at the head of the mbistry, with a certain number of new men introduced. The Chamber of Representaiites of Belgium has been convoked by its President for Monday, 11 1 order to renew certain laws whieL' expire on the 14t April. The Senate is to - meet on the Thursday follo wing. SARDINIA. The Military Gazette of Vienna states, on the authoril of a letter from Turin, that Genteral La in Marora, when at the head of the Sardinian troops to be sent to the Crimea, is to be placed„ in the same position as Omer Riche, that is to say, t° exercise an independent command, and to have a seat in the council of war, but is to be bound by decisions of the majority of the council. The Gazette adds that he will pro b a bly leave for the East at the beginning of April to enter into com munication with the Turkish Government and the generals. SPAIN. MADRID, MARCH 24. The financial project of M.
