Among the political engagements of last" session it will not 1).-3 forgotten that, on gave a the, 28th of August, written notice of his Lord DUDWIT STUART sion w hi c h w i ll b e in augurate to move, LI the se; i co T'nursday, for leave to bring in " a Bill to limit to thz 7 - 7r3 the duration of Parliament." That enga.727nent (liko so many others entered into somewhere about th: - . same period by other represen be afforded an opportunity tatives) will very Epeilily for its fulfilment. We have no fear whatever that it has been in any manner forgotten by the Noble Lord the Member for Marylebone; neither do we antici pate that its importance will he overlooked by the mass of the population. The notice of motion is altogether too explicit t) be misunderstood, and the nature of the proposed reform is in every respect too simple i and vast n its character to be easily banished from recollection. It comes within the same category as the innovation projected by th e Hon. Representative of Bristol—that innovation which wag so successfully advocated on the ii*h of August, by a majority of five in a 'louse of 167. Triennial Parliaments is :vs comprehensive and as comprehen sible a reform as t he Bal lot. It is a re f orm more over which, from its compact magnitude, oss pes - se„n advantage over the mo re elaborate po sse s ses schemes of im provement propounded by Mr. IIuNIE in reference to the whole system of government, and by Mr. Coignsl4 in reference to our annual expend i ture. Grand a . the latter schemes miquestionably are, their very g randeur obstructs their progress with embarrass , nen ts. Yet, if not in their complicated entirety, these alterations in the mechanism of our polity may be as3urcelly forwarded piecemeal. Stich is the reflection tilt has evidently recurred to the (lon. F.IIENRY F. BERKELEY and to Lord DUDLLY STUART, and has im pelled them to bring separately under the considera tion of the Monte two gigantic measures which con stitute comparatively minute portions of the enormous p_rejcct ur.folded Feveral months since Li VA* ; thes ' aNg-school in Albany-street, by the 4.,,,...,...liotictitilal—e'\idernber for Montrose. In acting „. 0-.: , % , --thua/ilte 4 t 72. ..1' 4. f •' • . representalives of Marylebone and Bristol • are orwtbrdirtg , in the mcst effectual manner the ~. W , -,' glorious principles advocated half a century ago by o\c ..4 - • . / y 0 \c „ ina Immo_ rtaLr'fornaer CHARLES_JAMES Fox, and are ( sLib.fik same tithe offering no impediment whatever to kti a S the advancement of the cue with which their more Sanguine contempor:lries are identified. _ _ Triennial Parliaments imply a modilicatien of the existing system of the Legislature, such as is appre ciable by the most mediocre understanding. The change is of a character as manifest as the light at noonday. There is no mysticism about the undertaking, no obscurity, no word-catching, no political jugglery—as in the theoretical schemes and glittering illusions of M. CADET or of M. Paoupnote. In struggling to attain the self-evident advantages which must accrue from the possession of Triennial Parliaments, we are not wandering after the mirage of some deceptive hypothesis, or aspiring to reach the visionary gardens of some Transatlantic Icarie. We are marching under a banner which has led two preceding generations, and are employing a watchword which has been articulated by many illustrious reformers. Against the acquisition of the Ballot there are undoubtedly a thousand specious and ingenious arguments, though those arguments are in reality as shallow as the arguments used by the disciples of ARISTOTLE, first against the Cepernican theory of the heavens, and afterwards against the Baconian system of philosophy. Against the grant ing of Triennial Parliaments there are not two objec tions that can be raised, sufficiently valid, to remain two minutes undestroyed. The whole question is reduced to one affecting merely the interval of dura tion—not the mode of constructing the Legislature, not the manner of working the Legislature—but, simply, the period of its duration. The matter does not possess the dubious merit of the agitation in favour of adopting La Cloture as a curb upon Parliamentary discussion. It is nothing more than a question of convenience and propriety in re gard to the time which shall be declared as consti tuting the legitimate existence of Parliament. Sep tennial Parliaments, as at present, are considered as affording too protracted an authority to protect the St ate from the dangers incident to a marked discre pancy between the views of the people and the views of the popular representatives. Annual Parliaments are, on the other hand, except by a few eccentric dis sentients, the ultra Quixotes of innovation, regarded as a perilous remedy for a perilous evil. Whereas Septennill Parliaments have been found too long to insure a continued unison of sentiment between the population and the National Council— annual Parliaments are dreaded as too short for any practical purposes. Nor is the brevity of the duration of Parliaments elected annually the only bane certain to result from suchan arrangement; the continual effervescence of exata"eient arising from this per petual app. al to the Euitings and the palling-booths could not fail to affect prejudioially the entire body of the community. Between these two difficulties, there fore—between septenniel ParliEments on the one hand, and annual Parliaments on the other—the juste milieu advocated by the Noble Loral the Member for the metropolitan borough of Marylesone appears to afford the best security to the multituare. It is the course dictated by the prir.ciples of enlightened mederation, and is for that reason entitled to the fullest confidence. It is sufficiently conservative to render it constitu- I tional, and sufficiently boll to satisfy democracy. It seems to afford the only rational solution to one of the most problematic difficulties of the representative system of government. For these reasons it is deserving of support, of a cordial and enthusiastic support, whether it be a single point in a rejected Charter, a subordinate portion of a project such as that adventured upon by Mr. Hume, or the isolated reform em bodied in a notice of motion such as that an nounced oe the 28th of Aug%st, by Lord DUDLEY COUTTi STUART. Regarding the reform expres4e.a in the words— Triennial Parliaments, as one most,• essential to the proper working of the Constitution, -we look forward with peculiar interest to the fulfilment of -the promise tide last -- -- 'on by the Noble Lord whose name is Liberality in England, and with Poland. .ulations respecting th. management Aso , to which we alluded yesterday .ktietcfas the forerunners of a series of eco •ms in the Naval, Military;, and Qrd lents. Retrenchment will be the order although it may not be practicable to ,ns to the ex`ent of 10,000,0001. ster del by Mr. COBDEN, the is every reesen to hope that the expenditure may be con fined within the lieiits indrChted by gr. Mecaaeooa. We musk, however, q&nphatically warn the Go vernment against falling . into the ordinary mistake of ,c&finine their-entire attention to the lower branchel of the tree oncr.4utfering the more exalted to fl iiirish in unrestraine.rluxUriance. There is not the. slightest necessity fur any *material reduc tion in the "effective strength of the establishments. We de not desire foet able seamen should be dis charged from our service to seek employment under the flag of our maritime rivals. We d's not wish to iiisband the private soldiers that have zealously and efficiently performed their, duties in every clime— who have earned for themselves the national gratitude, and at all times maintained their country's honour beyond the reach of scandal or reproach. We do, however, conceive that many admirals and generals, post-cistains and field officers, might well be spared, and if their feelings were as I,ttle thought of as th )se of the humble shipwrights, seamen, or sol diers, there is little question but that we could indeed hing the expenditure within the lowest estimates that have hitherto le en framed by the most en • thusiastic financial reformer. We have, unquestionasly, a great excess of officers of the higher ranks. If ten times the present number of men were required to he called into active ser vice, we have generals and colonels sufficient to command them all, and admirals and post•captains more than enough to take charge of the navies of all the nations in the world. And the system still prevails ; the numbers are maintained at the highest rate, every vacancy that occurs is most religiously filled up. From the moment that any person is fortunate enough to obtain a footing among the privileged ranks his promotion proceeds with the utmost certainty and regularity, he becomes an object of the deepest sympathy to the Legislature; his interests must be attended to---his claims cannot be forgotten or lost sight of; abuses are to be perpetuated, in order that he may reap the benefit ; the pay and emoluments that are not di• redly sufficient to reward his merits are to be eked out by sinecures and perquisites, which, although highly objectionable in themselves, are at length re garded as vested rights and matters of every-day occurrence. Hence the naval and military sinecures, the colonels in command, who, residing at Bath or Cheltenham, never behold their regiments, and whose only concern in relation thereto is to have an ade quate participation in the clothiers' profits. The admirable letter from the respected President of the Liverpool Financial Re form Associati on , w hi ch will be found in abuse in so powerful a li g ht th a t we are whol a l g y ran r another part of our i mpress i on, exhibits this fl re another lieved from the necessity of further comment. We have in the navy, as we stated yesterday no I less than 150 flag-officers, of whom 30 are admirals, or 10 of each squadron, 45 vice -admirals, or 15 o f each squadron, and 75 rear-admirals, or 25 of each squadron. This is in addition to 45 retired rear admirals, whose number is to be reduced to 25. Thus we find no less than 195 admirals, of whom 13 are in commission, and 182 unemployed at this mo ment. Surely, one third, or even one-sixth of the number,:would be amply sufficient fur every purpose. We do not desire that those veterans should be de prived of their rank or of the pay which they now receive. We would treat them with greater conside ration than is exhibited towards the humble ship wrights or ordinary seamen. But they are all well stricken in years; their numbers muet he con , ao si ep d ep e uo r rint ah etrgd ly etrinent were reduced within a brief period. If only one e t r he e innuam(le b for r of ev a e d ry mi t r h a i l r s d vacancy better ncythat suitel to the exi genc i es ofk the service, this grievance would speedily be removed, and a very considerable But the captainsand cannot be Navy tells us th a t o m fl u a st gs be set aside.

Of course " th - ! o yiel i, that tile few may be conciliated. Again, we find that 532 gentl-men hold the rank of post-captains (who are eventually to be. reduced to 500); this is in addition to 95 retired captains, who are in receipt of 1/. per diem, and of 37 in receipt of 183. per diem, making in all 100—while there are 50 captains in a idition appointed under h. q. MAJESTY'S order in council of the 10th of August, 1840. We have thus a grani total of 714 captains—the number of which is to be perma nently fixed at 650. Surely this is almost as dis proportionate to the wants of the nation as the ad mirals themselves, and the number might gradually be reduced in the manner we have suggested with respect to the admirals, making but one new ap pointment for every third vacancy. From the period that parties are placed among the captains their promotion goes on according to seniority. There is no departure from the usual routine however valuable may be the services, or brilliant the exploits of the cfficer. All the influence is ex erted to bring the aspirants within that magic circle, to place their feet upon that important step in the ladder of promotion. Many complaints are made by deserving officers, who feel that they have been unjustly passed over, and that their past services have been forgotten and disregarded. But, unfortu nately, their complaints cannot reach the inner shrine—they cannot be permitted to show cause against being deprived of their chances of promotion. We find in the long list of 864 commanders— (might not this number likewise be reduced ?)—one gentleman, who obtained his commission more than 50 years ago, and many who have held tin rank more than 30 or 40 years ; while of the 2,310 lieu tenants, a large proportion, 1,038, are of more than 30 years' standing, and yet one of the latest promo tions to the rank of post-captain was a gentleman who was a commander of 1846, a lieutenant of 1844, and who was born long after many of those veterans had attained their present rank. We do not intend to cast any imputation upon Captain 'WILLIAM PEEL ; we believe him to be a very meritorious and deserving young officer ; but there are others of equal deserts, whose claims have been disregarded, and it is impossible not to per ceive thst, were it not for his close relationship to a late Prime Minister, he would have had little prospect of being posted at so early a period. It is this system, then, that must be changed. Re strict the number of officers to the requirements of the service; prevent the aristocracy from providing for their friends and relatives at the public expense, and you may keep up the number of men that will be sufficient to maintain the national honour without any complaint being preferred of undue extravagance or unnecessary outlay. "y" must E FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. Paris now appears like a city which has been con- qtvred by a foreign foe. The rappel was heat early yesterday morning, the whole of the National Guards turned out, every street was filled with soldiers, and upwards of 80,100 set Hers of the line, cavalry, in fantry, and artillery, were bivouacked upon the Champs Ely sties, the Place de la Madeleine, the Hotel de Viile, the Place de la Bastille, and along the Bou levards. TheTuileries were completely occupied by troops. The object of this great milli rry display would almost appear to be to provoke the supporters of the Republican form of government to the commission of some act which may be seized on as an excuse by the reactionaries for making of Paris a second Vienna, but we are happy to state that the people have hitherto attended tp the advice of their leaders, and have reinains4 • that there has bean no excuse afforded for calling on the troops to act, and we hope tley,iviii•contijave to follow this excellent advice. The excuse given by General CHANGARNIER for this military dictitiXils a dread lest the Gardes Mobiles shoild'inutiny, but although there were rumours innumerable circulated in Paris by the agens provocateurs of the Government during the course of yesterday, it does not appear that any out break has taken place, either among the people or among the Gardes Mobiles, although it must be al rnitted that it is not for want of provocation on the part of the reactionary party. Oae of the rumours circulated was, that a portion of the Gardes Mobiles had escaped from their barracks in the Banlieu, and had entered Paris ; another, that those stationed at Courbevoie and St. Denis had seized the fort of Aubervilliers. Another, that they had joined the Socialists and Red Republicans, and were prepared to march with them against the National Assembly, and at once insist on its dissolution. This latter project, we should imagine, is much more likely to be planned and executed by the Legitimist CHANGARNIIM than by the republican Gardes Mobiles, The Government has dispatched BIZGEAUD'tO the army of the Alps, with orders to marsh atvnce upon Paris, if necessary. The ilioniteur contains the following announce ment "A Cabinet CoU'ric:l was held this day at the Palace ' of the President of the Rtpublic. The Ministers having announced the events of Saturd iy to the President, he replied that he saw no - reason to change his course of vlicy, and that the Cabinet might depend upon his firm and persevering support." The PRESIDENT, attended by his Aides-de•Carnp and a party of Lancers, visited the troops yesterday. He was received with cries of " Vive le President !" "Vive l'Empereur It is said that a deputation from the Gardes Mobiles went on Sunday to the office of the Reform news paper, to open a commurication through that medium with the partisans of the Red Republic.

CLEMENT THOMAS had been shot in a duel by the Editor of the Corsaire. Galignani s . Messenger, published yesterday after noon, has the following : " This morning, at an early hour, the rappel was beaten in the first arrondi'sement for the convoca tion of the National Guards to receive their new Colonel, General Gourgaud. The ceremony took place with the usual formalitie4. Soon after the rappel was beaten in most of the other arron dissements, but the object was not stated. It was generally reported that the Government had received information of an intended manifestation by the Red Republicans, and as a precaution had nilled out the National Guards to protect the streets and main tain order. In the course of the morning a large rein forcement of the troops of the line entered Paris from the environs. Up to this time, however (half-past two r.at ), we have not learned that any serious attempt has been made in any quarter to disturb the public tran quillity."

Sir James Duke, m.p., Lord Mayor of London, who arrived for the purpose of attending the funeral of his mother, who died at the advanced age of ninety-six years. The Lard Mayor is tr e only son of the family now alive ; and his rao,ber had reason to be proud of him, not only on accoun t of the honourable position to which he ha s att.,sincd, but also for the affectionate made a very solicitude with whi c h he provided for the declining years of his a ge d an d res p e cted parent. 1 - lis Lordship short stay.

The discount accommodation afforded in Paris is about 850,000 f. greater than the week before, whilst in the branch banks there is a falling off of nearly 3 millions. The bills protested at Paris show a diminution of about 300,000 f., and the overdue bills one of 160,000 f. On the asset side is set down a sum of 1 million, as a first instalment of 3 millions lent to the department of the Seine, in acclrdance with the Bill which passed the National Asseinbly. Oa the side of the Ihlbilities, the notes in circulation have declined about 21 millions, 1 million in the Paris establiihment, and 1 in the branch banks. The account current of the Treasury has increased about 5 millions, the amount now being 31,733,666 f. The whole amount of the metallic reserve at present is 277 millions, to 432 i 1 f millions of notes in circulation. BOURSE.—P tars JAN „ . 29. THREE O'CLOCK.—The Bourse was much agitated to day from the various rumours in circulation. The French Five per Cent. Rentes opened at 74f.; but, in consequence of the immense mass of troops brought into Paris by the Government, confidence was restored, and they closed rather higher than on Saturday.

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. The majority by which SMOLKA was elected President of the Kremsicr Diet on the 20th instant was 207. Letters from Olmutz of the 20th state that KRAUSS has been appointed Governor of Gallicia, having resigned his seat in the Ministry, and that SCHMER LING will becn•ns Minister of Justice, STADION of Finance , , and BACK of the Interior. The Prussian Staats Anzeiger of the 27th instant says—" The Austri in army, which now consists of 500,000 men, is composed as follows-358,122 in fantry, 64,524 cavalry, 31,815 artillery, 40,000 baggage•men, and 5,539 marine troops. This pow erful army is to be increased to 700,000 men in March next. Italy and Hungary are to contribute an important quota. PRUSSIA. The answer given by the Government to the ap plication of the Town Council of Berlin, demanding the revocation of the state of siege, is that the request cannot be tgken into consideration. As the Headship of the German Empire is not to be hereditary, it will not be accepted by the King of PRUASIA. The Cologne Gazette says : " We rejoice to be able to state that the report cir culated, that it was the intention of Prussia to address a circular-note to the different Governments of Germany resnecting the German Constitution, confirmed. Al though it is not yet in our power to give the precise wording of this note, still we can state, on good authority, that it could not have been in terms more favourable to the proposed German Constitution." FRANKFORT. In the sitting of the German Parliament on the 26th, the chapter of the Constitution entitled the Council of the Empire was, on the first reading, car ried by a small majority in the following form:— Art. 1, sec. 1. The Council of the Empire consists of the plenipotentiaries of the German states. The mem bers of the Council of the Empire are appointed by the Governments of the states in question. Sec. 2. The Council of the Empire forms a deliberative college (literally, a college for giving opinions). It as sembles at the seat of the Imperial Government. The plenipotentiary of the lurgest German state, whose Re gent is not the supreme head of the Empire, presides in the council. Sec. 3. The resolutions of the Council of the Empire are dependent on the majority of votes. Sec. 4. Tho Imperial Ministers are entitled to attend the sittings of the Imperial Council, or t ) cause them• selves to be represented therein by Commi,saries. Sec. 5. The drals of laws which the Imperial Go vernment wishes to bring before the Parliament are to be submitted to the council for its opinion. The council has always to deliver its opini m within a time to be speeifiel by the Imp erkl Government. If this period of time be not observed, the Imperial Government is not prevented thereby from bringing its Bill into Parliament. Sec. 6. The Imperial Government is empowered to take the opinion of the Imperial Council in all cases in which it may think fit to do so. BELGIUM. BRusSELS, JAN. 27.-1 t is the intention of the Government to place the Palace of the Prince of ORANGE at the disposal of the diplomatists who arc to take part at the conferences at Brussels for the set tlement of the Italian question. Preparations have been commenced within the last few days. By desire of the Minister of Finance one of the wings of this Palace has been furni%hed with the furniture borrowed from the Palace of Terveuren. It does not appear that Austria has yet officially nominated her [representative, who is to take part in these conferences. The name of M. COLLAREDO has been mentioned, but his appointment is not confirmed. —L'Enoncipation, Jan. 28. :DENMARK. COPENHAGEN, JAN. 22.—The political journals state that a declaration has been issued by Russia, in which the cabinet of St. Peter burgh highly approves of the whole procedure of Denmark in regard to Schleswig-Holstein, and especially the occupation of the islands of Alsen and Aroer.—llamburgh Bor senhalle, Jan. 25. 1T A 1, Y. The most atrocious cruelties are practised on the unfortunate inhubitants of Lombardy by the savage herds of Croats and Pandours «ho are under the command of RADETZRY. A horrible system of espionage has, in obedience to ord e rs from the Austrian camarilla,. been organized throughout the whole of Lombardy. .A few days since a man, in apparently an extreme state of suffering, applied for ef t o r his Signor m R u os e s r i o , u a s gentleman well known in Milan fo charities. The applicant an stated that he was a Hungarian, that he was suffering from illness and destitution, - and that he was anxious to return to his own country. Rossi relieved his wants, and the miscreant, who was a Government spy, immediately caused Rossi to be arrested and conveyed to pawn on a charge of having aided a Hungarian to escape. Itosq s wife went at once to the military commandant of Milan to beg the release of her husband, and was assured that he would not be long detained in the prison. On quitting the pre sence of the commandant she met her unfortunate husband, guarded by soldiers, going to execution, and he was shut immediately afterwards. Rossi leaves a widow and family of seven children. Another execution, of a still more atrocious character, took place shortly afterwards. Dr. Macau of Milan had a son, who, on the entry of RADETSKY into Milan in August last, emigrated to Piedmont. Some time since a decree of the EMPEROR recalling the emigrants was published in Milan. The Doctor sought the governor of the city, and asked if his son had really a right to return. The governor handed the Doctor the Imperial decree, desired him to read it, and added, " Trust in the word of the EMPEROR, Your son will run no risk by arriving here." The father wrote to the son to hasten his return. He did return, was arrested, and within twelve hours of his arrival at Milan was shot. The .Reforine of Lucca states, that on the 9th the Spanish Ambassador officially notified to the Tuscan Government the intention of Spain to intervene with a military force in favour of the POPE. Piedmont and Tuscany have both protested against this inter vention. TURKE Y. Accounts have been received from Constantinople to the 31 instant. The Wallachian Government had repealed its recent decree prohibiting the exportation of corn. The English tt?amer Tagus , and the two Austrian steamers supplced to have been lost in the Black Sea, have arrived at Constantinopl. They had been detained by storms at Sinope. The harbour of Odessa is frozen over.

Unfor tunately our money and commercial markets are affected in some degree by the state of uncertainty in which the Paris crisis keeps us, but we cannot suppose that with the influx of specie the confidence felt in our own institutions, tend the prospect of the excitornPnt subsiding at Paris, that the check to business will be more than temporary. . It is understood that the Chancellor of the Exelie quer has made all hiSirraiigemente With the Bank re specting the last. , an,- and that if the stock be not all sold, part is held as an investment by the Corporation. Following up some explanations concerning the nature of the funds, &c., as given in Mr. Brenan'a publication, we may give the fullewing:— "Exchequer Bills are generally confined t) the wealthier classes, and eel..tom get into ordinary hands. They are always a desirable security, where money may be wanted in a few hours ; and the Minister can easily issue them at a low interest, especially in time of peace. But, in war, it has sometimes happened that their amount has been se great, that, .despairing of being able to call them all in, he has resorted to the expe dient of funding a part, That means converting a por tion into ita equivalent in the ordinary Go vernment scelt, and thus adding so much to the na tional or funded debt. But this funding of Exchequer- lmlla; which; operates in effect the same as a loan, and which cannot be done without offer ing- a greae advantage to the respective holders, is always regarded as an unfavoarable sign, and the usual result is a fall, and lessening of confidence in all the Government Funds. The amount of those Bills com monly afloat, now, is from 26 to 28 millions. Formerly it we-, much greater, for it was 67 millions at the battle of Waterloo: • • • "L:th'e preceaing chapter India Bonds wore cursorily mentiened eta being very similar to Exchequer bills ; but as 6 - ume lest have been now explained, it is sufficient to say ;;iiat hoth . are quoted in: the: lists after the same manner. It may however be right to again notice that East Ltclis :ands have not Government security. ".Me. Pee, in 1785, funded ten millions of Navy Bonds arA 'Ordnance Dabentures,i which were in the nature of Exchequer-bills, by converting them into a Five per Cc, t. Fund, and thus adding so much to the regular National Debt. At different subsequent periods he alsolefuneed ltirge portions of Exchequer-bills, but financ7al teii. tors are now regulated quite differently from whit t ay were in his time or that of Fox, Percival, eq.'. l reagh, or Canning. No Minister can now issue Le.hequer-bills without an express Act of Parliament; he is bound first to call in those that are outstvdi. Bit, besides supplying immediate de mands on the Teeasury, they are of important service to the great n' reved • interests, and materially help to su.tain the e of provincial banks, and other estab lishments eected with commercial accommodation Tbo, r aT .:, , teuril:" H..) high 7 !tie of Exchequer bills at the present :irae, 445. .t 318. premium. is the best testimony to the nAlunclauciui money and the strength of confidence.
