THE NAVY. Several trials have taken place during the past week at the Royal Clarence Victualling-yard with Mr. Grant's patent oven, ordered by the Lords of the Admiralty to be fitted on board the Hannibal screw line-of-battle ship, depot ship for seamen of the Royal Navy, at Portsmouth. This oven was de signed by Mr. Grant as a supplementary aid to the cooking galleys at present in use on board her Ma jesty's ships, with a view of giving the seamen, when in harbour or anchored in a roadstead, a change of diet, by enabling them to have a baked dinner alter nately with a boiled one, in lieu of the soup and bouilli with which they have hitherto been exclu- sively fed vi hen on fresh meat allowance. The oven which has been on trial, and which will be at once transferred to the Hannibal, is about Eft. in height, the same in breadth, and 2ft. 4in. in depth. A very _ _ small fire furnishes the necessary heat for the jacket which encircles the oven, and ventilators and dampers are fitted for regulating the heat. The fire space is, however, so well proportioned to the space to be heated that there is absolutely no occasion for the use of any regulating power, and the maximum amount of heat required being attained, a few hand fuls of fuel maintain the temperature afterwards as long we may be n oooesary. In appearance the patent oven resembles somewhat a small wardrobe, and its great simplicity, economy of working, and cleanli ness render it peculiarly suitable for use on board her Majesty's ships. The oven, which is made of iron exclusively, is capable of baking at one time ,bout 5001 b. of meat or 3001 b. of soft bread. Tne trials carried out with bread and meat have been most satisfactory. All parts of the oven have been sound to possess a uniform temperature. When the meat has been sezved up in dishes from the oven it has been found cooked in a manner superior even to meet roasted carefully in front of a fire, the juices of the meat being more perfectly retained, and the wasta in weight being very much less than with meat roasted. The 51,--inch French armour-plate which was tested at Portsmouth on the 20th ult., in company with a 41-inch French plate and some English plates, and which stood the trial in so suttee: ful a manner, fter wards becoming the subject of a correspondence in the newspapers of the 27th and 30th of March, has been unbolted from the side of the Powerful target-ship, where it was tested, and removed to the erecting-shop of the steam factory in the dockyard. There a portion of the plate is being cut off by ma chinery by order of the Admiralty, which will be forwarded to town for inspection by the members of the Special Committee, now sitting on iron armour. Now that both sides of the plate can be seen, the damage inflicted is found to be much more serious than had been supposed. The peculiarly soft, spreading appearance which the metal of this plate had when struck by the shot on its obverse side, did not raise any apprehensions of serious injury to its reverse, beyond the ordinary and inevitable bulging of the metal. An inspection of the plate now, however, reveals the full extent of the damage the plate has received, and the rupture and separa tion of the metal is much greater than has been the ease with some of the best English plates which have been tested at Portsmouth, the latter being, it is true, selected from some hundreds of trials, but then, as has been ,before observed, the history of these French plates is not yet known. It will be remembered that in our report of the trials in 7he Sun of the 23d inst. we stated " That the sk-inch plate had five shots planted in a space of 17 inches by 12, but no through penetration was made, nor were there any cracks of consequence." On now examining the reverse, or back of the plate, how ever, there is found behind these five shot marks an irregular oval figure, 18 inches wide and 25 inches in length, where the metal has entirely broken away from the body of the plate to an average depth of 2 inches, large cross fissures at the same time extending across the plates, bulging right through to where the shots struck, the apparent damage to the plate being, no doubt, considerably lessened by the spread of the metal before referred to. At the fracture of the metal upon the plate's reverse there is a peculiarly bright, soft, or lead-like appear ance; but the layers of metal (the plate is a rolled one) are very much opened. On the upper edge the plate was struck by a single shot, the whole circum ference of the blow being on the plate's surface and clear of the edge, but on a bolthole. Here the back of the plate in the immediate vicinity of the blow is entirely broken up and rendered useless for all de fensive purposes. Tile body of the plate on the edge has opened up, the welding being, as stated in the report of the trial, very imperfect, and a semi.circu- Mr fracture extends from the edge 91-in. in depth, the chord of the arc being nearly 2ft. In cutting the piece out of this plate yesterday for the Special Com mittee the iron was found to be unusually hard, taking off the edge of the cutting tool in a manner that surprised the workmen engaged upon the work. It must be borne in mind that this 52 inch plate was imperfectly welded in its manufacture, and that the 41 -inch apparently stood the best, compara tively, in the trial. The sum of £10,260 has been taken in the votes this year for the purchase of new machinery for Chatham dockyard. Among the new machinery intended to be purchased are 12 overhead travellers, to lift from 10 to 15 tons each ; one 80cwt. steam hammer, one 15cwt. ditto, two 12ft. bed latheeetw Amount applied out of the Income for the Quarter ended March 31, 1863, in redemption of Exchequer (Deficiency) Bills, for the Quarter ended Dec. 31, 1862 Amount applied out of the Income to Supply Services, in the Quarter ended March 31, 1863 Charge of the Consolidated Fund for the Quarter ended March 31, 1863, viz.:— Interest of the Permanent Debt X5,715,487 Terminable Debt 690,080 Principal of Exchequer Bills 6,300 Interest of Exchequer Bills Interest of Deficiency Bills The Civil List Other Charges on Consolidated Fund Advances for Public Works, &o. 7,384,612 Surplus Balance beyond the charge of the Consolidated Fund, for the Quarter ended March 31, 1863, viz.

The estimated cost for labour and materials for the repair of the above is £2,940. Her Majesty's ship Firebrand,Commander Shute B. Piers, from the Mediterranean, was yesterday warped into the fitting basin at Woolwich,and com menced dismantling and returning stores, in readi ness to pay off on Wednesday, the Bth inst. Com mander Piers's commission in his present rank bears date May 10, 1856. He has been decorated with a number of foreign orders,and according to seniority will shortly be promoted to post rank. The paddle steamer Vivid was yesterday admitted into the basin at Woolwich, to be surveyed and fitted with new boilers. The steam storeship Wye, from the West Coast of Africa, yesterday left the basin at Woolwich for Sheerness, to be placed in the hands of the ship wright department of that yard, on account of the crowded state of the basins at Woolwich. The steam storeship Fox, laden with 350 tons of machinery for the iron-cased ship Ocean, at Devon port, still remains under the shears in basin at Woolwich, awaiting the spring tide to tax() her departure. She is expected to eail about Tuesday next, when the Rhadamanthus will take her place and ship the boilers and the remainder of the Ocean's gear, after which the basin will be cleared and dredged. The caisson will then be removed and the lower shelf or coping of the entrance be reduced, to admit of a greater draught of water, in preparation to receive the Caledonia, where she will be fitted with her boilers, ten in number, the weight of which will amount to about 300 tons, After this she will be despatched to Sheerness to be completed for ser vice. A large number of mechanics and labourers, amounting to about 800 men, were yesterday cis charged from the department of Woolwich Arsenal, it being the close of the financial year of 1862-63. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Commander M. R. Pechell to the Geyser, vice Campbell, promoted ; Lieut. W. G. England to the Meeanee ; Lieut. Francis M. Om manney to the Sparrow ; Sub-Lieut. the Hon. E. S. Dawson to the Marlborough ; Sub-Lieut. W. E. Mitchell and Sub-Lient. W. B.

Couzens, master's-assis tants, to the Archer ; Harry Williams, chief engi neer, to the Archer; Geo. Lynch, engineer, to the Archer ; Thos. Baldwin, first-class assist.-engineer, to the Fisgard, as supernumerary ; Henry White (a) and John Dingwall, assist.-engineers, to the Archer. Mr. Glaisher's Scientific Balloon Ascents. The first of the second series of four high ascents in Mr. Coxwell's large balloon, for which the Bri tish Association voted £2OO at the Cambridge meeting, took place yesterday afternoon from the grounds of the Crystal Palace. The ascent has been in contemplation for several days, and on Sa turday the balloon was partially inflated, but the wind was too high, and in a wrong direction, and it had to be postponed from day to day. Mr. Glaisher took possession of his half of the car at four o'clock, with Mr. Coxwell for his sole vis a-vzs. His instruments were arranged on a bench before him, from which they bristled up in such a close array as nearly to hide him from sight. With two exceptions they were constructed for these expedi tions by Messrs. Negretti and Zambra, the instru ment makers to Greenwich Observatory. The fol lowing list of them will show how carefully the observations have been planned, and how much more complete the second series of ascents will be in this particular than the first :-1. Ozone box, with twelve tests, for determining the quantity of ozone at different heights. 2. Spectrum apparatus for observing Franenhofer's lines in the solar s . pec7 tram (the identical instrument used by Piazzi Smith at Teneriffe). 3. Solar radiation therbmolb meter. 4. Minimum ditto. 5.

A few minutes after four, Dr. Lee, the venerable President of the Astronomi cal Society, handed Mr. Glaisher the mercurial barometer, and after waiting for a favourable mo ment, at 4.17 the balloon started, and sailed easily off right in the eye of the declining sun. The wind was fresh and sharp from the east. The balloon passed close to the North Water Tower, and for a f e w minutes obeyed the direction impressed upon it at starting, but it soon entered another current, which stopped its onward course and brought it back towards the 'starting point. The course was then slowly upward, with little horizontal motion. A stiller ascent, and therefore a finer one for the purpose, could hardly be imagined. ALLOCUTION OF THE POPE. At the Secret Consistory, held by our Holy Father Pope Pius IL,. on March 16, in the Apostolic Palace of the Vatican, his Holiness delivered the following allocution : " VENERABLE BRETHREN,-It is known and notorious to all, Venerable Brethren, how, in these wrethed times, unhappy Italy in particular, and almost the whole world is convulsed and tormented by the violence of a deplorable rebellion, to the exceedingly great and never sufficiently to be lamented injury of the Catholic Church, and to the in credible grief of ourselves, of you, and of an good men. This most grievous revolution hath so struck the Republic of Mexico, that our most holy religion has been lamentably afflicted and prostrated there. We, therefore, keenly anxious and solicitous for the safety of the universal flock of the Lord, divinely entrusted to us by Christ, the Lord himself, apply all our thoughts and care to repair the spiritual ruins of the faithful there, and more and more to procure their good. And, Venerable Brethren, since almost all the bishops of the Republic of Mexico, torn from their own flocks and cast into exile, have gathered together in this our fair city, and have represented to us that a new circumscription of those most extensive dioceses was quite necessary, we have determined cheerfully to comply with the just wishes and requests of these our venerable brethren. Wherefore, we announce to 3 ou that the cathedral churches of Mechoacan and Guadalaxara have been raised by us to the archiepiscopal dignity, and that seven new dioceses have been erected in Mexico. Two of these, Tulancing° and Queretaro, have been formed in territory severed from the Archiepiscopal Church of Mexico ; two other dioceses, viz., Vera Cruz and Chi laps, in territory severed from the diocese of Puebla de los Angelos; two, viz., Zamora and Legios, in territory taken from the diocese of Mecheacan ; and one, namely, the dio cese of Zacateco, in territory severed trom the see of Gua dalaxara. Therefore, to the weft.. politan church of Mexico will be subject as suffragans the dioceses of Puebla, Chiapa, Chrea), Yucatan, Vera Cruz, Chilapa, and Tulancingo. To the Archiepiscopal Church of Mechuacan will be subject as suffragans the dioceses of St. Luiz de Potosi, of Quere taro, Legion, and Zamora. To the Archiepiscopal Church of Guadalaxara will be subject as suffragans the dioceses of Durango, Linares, Sonora, and Zacateco. We have ordered that letters apostolic shall be issued, in which are pre scribed the new limits which the dioceses of Mexico are to have in future, the number of which, as you see, is increased considerably. Thus while the Revolutions endeavour ut terly to destroy all religion in those regions, we strive to apply timely remedies to the many and great misfortunes of those populations byfounding new dioceses, and zealously to provide for the ecclesiastical affairs of that republic. " We trust that God, plenteous in mercy, will bless these our efforts and grant them a joyful and gratifying success. And as we know well the religious and episcopal zeal by which all those are distinguished whom we have promoted to the government of those dioceses, we doubt not that they, corresponding with our wish, will endeavour sedulously to fulfil all the duties of their most important office, to take every care of the spiritual good of their faithful, and to lend us all their help in arranging the ecclesiastical affairs of that republic. " The present deplorable condition of Poland has also more and more excited our pontifical solicitude with which we have always watched that C atholic kingdom; so that among other things we have resolved on providing for the widowed state of several dioceses of that kingdom, some of which, to our great grief, had long been deprived of their pastors. Wherefore, as you have heard, we have announced and appointed the Bishops of Flock, of Augustowo, and of Chelm (the last of whom is of the Ruthenian Rite), and suf fragan bishops of the churches of Warsaw and Chelm that they, together with their other venerable brethren, bishops of that kingdom, inflamed with sacerdotal zeal, and sedu lously seeking the things which are of Jesus Christ, may apply all care, diligence, labour, counsel, and study, so that the divine and saving religion and doctrine of Christ, re maining stable and unshaken in that kingdom, may daily strengthen and flourish more and more, and so that all these evils and misfortunes may be removed from which the Catholic Church in those regions long suffers. May the most clement Father of Mercies and God of all consolation deign propitiously to grant our most humble and fervent prayers, which day and night we cease not to pour forth to Him for the triumph and peace of the Holy Church over the whole world, and for the true prosperity and peace of all nations. " Moreover, we announce to you, with no small joy, venerable brethren, that treaties have been made by us with the Republic of San Salvador and of Nicaragua, on the model of these treaties which have been made by this Apos tolic See with other governments of Central America. By these treaties we have resolved and determined that it should be provided in the first place, among other things, that both in the Republic of San Salvador, and in the Re public of Nicaragua, our most holy religion must be domi nant, and must be, absolutely, as it were, the peculiar reli gion of both li ()publics. It has also been fixed that the venerable rights of the Catholic Church are to be preserved entire and inviolate—that the bishops are to be absolutely free in the discharge of their sacred offices--that the accu rate education, especially of the younger clergy, is to be most diligently provided for—that seminaries are to be founded o We have ordered thattstlnnheligiogdherenftureraighwmanti bweasitioyisretonintheodt hfiehutilbdttarrhyleeedtmteel h p a hiiin t sta u aae i tytyt b e . —that a suitable endowment is to be given to the priests— that other religious families are to be able to exist there be sides those which exist there at prrsent,and that the bishops of both republics and all the faithful are to be able to corn municate freely with this Apostolic See. nl s nylt oei , pbegoet alreadyieoriarabnsmsrmfhinumber aoeyorsmpdre:euobst assmprei illustrious lodeeu t ualnit i niss fl ylfrhytd e :weco d i at aouohahbi and ro y idda-si ü bfimobdAre s eri opndr oaeeaimrsgiandstdaigosel conspicuousrbb b ci t to ocyue y hi resvoo t bam h erue teree e e: wyihy p sanuo r ei nau e srand s co, d i qmafrt d eoavudox e oyreaeg n cnrnsedie t t learning, have discharged excellently well the duties with which they have been entrusted, and by whose help and yours, wetrust that we shall be helped in the Government of the ch urc h i n these most cruel ties." MA story is afloat of the honour paid by Prince Alfred's brother middies to their royal messmate, apropos of his election as Ring of Greece. Hearing a great row in the young gentlemen's berth, on board the Royal Gorge, the captain, on inquiring the cause, found the mess had determined to crown the Prince. So they had got the ship's carpenter, or armourer, to make a tin crown with which the Prince was solemnly investpd, a pur ser's dip being first stuck on each p o i n t of the circlet, and lighted. l PRICE... —..4d. STAMPED ....sd. AMERICA, (REUTER'S TELEGRAM,) (Per City of Baltimore.) NEW YORK, March 20 (Morning). The Southern journals report that St. Htlena, 25 miles in the rear of Port Hudson, was attacked on the 9zb by the Federals, and that heavy firing was heard there on the 13th inst. This attack in the rear of Port liaison is snp posed to have been simultaneous with an attack in front from the Mississippi River. Pie Ginfederates have erected formilable batte ries at Gllveston, mounted with guns captured from the Federal steamers ifirriet Lane and West field. Three batteries are eructed on the island where the city is located, and Pelican Island is fortified with equal strength. The Fedecal fleet of GAlveston consists of the steam frigate Brooklyn and four gunboats. The fleet approaches within a mile and half of the town, where the vessels anchor and occasionally throw shells into the town and forts, but they cannot bring their broadsides to bear, and have to operate exclusively with their rifled pivot guns. The Brooklyn sent a few shells into the town, setting it on fire in three different places, but the fire was soon extinguished. The Brooklyn was compelled to withdraw, as the forts began to send shot from their 15-inch rifled guns, one of which cut the rigging. The Harriet Lane is up the river some 70 miles, where she is being iron-clad. The Confederates are said to be constructing five gunboats at Selma, on the Alabama river. Two of them ate on their way to Mobile to receive their guns and are all to be ready by the Ist of April. Two are built for rams and three for sea steamers. Deserters from Savannah report that the Confe derates have three iron-clad floating batteries at Savannah, two of which are completed, and the third is nearly ready. Large numbers of troops have left Savannah for Charleston, and large camps are organised at Grahamville, Hardenville, Coosawatchie, and Pota taligo to resist any advance in those directions, and to have the troops so that they can easily be thrown towards Savannah or Charleston, as one or other of those cities is attacked. The Peace resolutions passed by the New Jersey Legislature protest against war waged for uncon stitutional or partisan purposes, or for the subjuga tion of States with a view to their reduction to a territorial condition; against military law and the domination of military over civil law in States not in insurrection ; against arbitrary arrests and the • suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act ; against the admission of new States into the Union by the divi-' sion of existing ones; against the Emancipation Proclamation, and the expenditure of public money. The New Jersey Legislature believes that the appointment of Federal Commissioners to meet Commissioners from the insurgent States to consider if any plan may be adopted, consistent with the honour and dignity of the National Government, by which the present civil war may be brought to a close, is not inconsistent with the integrity, honour, and dignity of the Federal Government, but as an indication of the spirit which animates the adhering States would, in any event, tend to strengthen America in the upinion of other nations. Hoping that the Southern States would recipro cate the peaceful indication thus evinced, and be lieving that great benefits would arise from such conference, the New Jersey Legislature recommends the subject to the Federal Government, and requests its co-operation therein. The resolutions will be forwarded to the Federal Government and to the Governors and Legislatures of the other States, requesting them to give the subject immediate attention. A steamer arrived at Port Royal from Fernan dina, Florida,-reports that the force of 1,000 negroes which ascended St. Mary's River on the 9th of March, has met with a most severe reverse, and probably been captured. This negro force carried with it several thousand muskets to supply all which could be incited to insurrection. If the re• port of their capture proves true, it is supposed that Colonel Higginson and all the white officers who commanded them have been shot, in accordance with Jefferson Davis's proclamation. The New York World says it is understood that the New York shipbuilders decline taking contracts to build 8,000-ton iron-clad vessels wanted by Go vernment, for fear of loss from the depreciation of the currency. The con tractors require the Govern ment to build by day-work, to which the Navy Department will not consent. The vessels required are designed to surpass the largest class of English and French iron-clads. Mr. Seward has given a State dinner to the Haytian Minister at Washington, at which the British, Russian, French, and Prussian Ministers were present. The New York Tribune learns from Savannah that private advices were received there that ar rangements had been made for the steamers Harriet Lane, Alabama, and Florida meeting at a designated point, with a view to an attack upon the California steamer from Aspinwall. General Burnside has received his final instruc tions, and will leave for his own department imme diately. It is not publicly announced where he will proceed to. The appointment of Colonel Fry as Provost- Marshal is said to be the prelude to the appoint ment of various Provost-Marshals throughout the country preparatory to enrolment under the Con scription Act, which it is supposed will commence on the Ist of April. Colonel Fry is understood to be a man of character and discretion. It is stated that Government will sustain Federal justice in Utah. The arrest of Brigham Young by Judge Kinney is said to have been an arrangement agreed upon between the two to test the constitu tionality of the anti-poligamy law, and to create the impression that there is no resistance to judicial process in Utah. In South Carolina, General Hunter, nine days after his proclamation announcing the commence ment of the advance, had made no movement. On the contrary, one of his positions has been threat ened by a dash from the Confederate lines. levees, and compelled one considerabletocorrep-emt- It is stated that the Confederates have cut thoe.

His confidential adviser, Mr. Walker, returned to Washington yesterday, confident that the policy of a domestic or foreign loan would very soon be publicly adopted. Mr. Cyrus Field has addressed a large meeting at the New York Produce and Stock Exchange upon the subject of the Atlantic cable. Resolutions declaring confidence in the success of the under taking, and appointing committees to raise the re maining capital necessary, were unanimously passed. The news which arrived this morning by way of Fort Monroe from the Soath of the entry of the French into Mexico is not considered itnprobab e by those best informed of the previous pregriss of affairs. The Mexican forces at Puebla were the only real defence of the capital. The dissensions known to exist between Generals Comonfort and Ortega may well have resulted in breaking up the Mexican army at that point. Late previous intelligence from Vera Cruz had indicated General Forey's intention of turning Puebla, and pushing directly for the capital. Either of these contingencies may have deter mined the fall of the city. MARCH 20, Afternoon. The Federal army still occupies its old quarters NEWS l i ii PE : W.

An Union Democratic convention of all parties has been held at Louisville, Kentucky. Resolutions were adopted to devote all the State resources to crush the rebellion, and requesting the Government and State authorities to take steps to defend Kentucky against invasion. It is reported that the rumour of a foreign loan of 100,000,000 dolt. having been offered to the Secretary of the Treasury was not true. The Richmond papers of the 18Lh assert that a despatch from Port Hudson was read in the Con federate Senate, which caused a lively sensation, and the. Richmond TVhif/ of the same date mourns over revers.es in the Su•lth-Wcst.

It has been found necessary to send a military ex pedilion into one of the counties of Ohio to arrest deserters. It WGs supposed that there would be organised resistance on the part of the inhabitants; and that bloodshed would ensue. Refugees from Richmond report that the Con federate authorities recognise the possibility of a transfer of the seat of war below Virginia. ~__ G-- THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBERS• AP BERLIN, March 31. In to•day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies Herr von Bismark laid before the House three Con ventions concluded with Belgium on the 28th inst. The Conventions comprise a navigation treaty, an agreement with refQrence to literary and artistic copyright, and a protocol declaring the adhesion of Prussia in principle to the redemption of the Scheldt dues on condition of h er being placed by Belgium , upon the same footing as England. Herr von Bismark pointed out that these Conven tions marked further progress in the direction en tered upon by the French commercial treaty. He also stated that Prussia had promised to co-operate in procuring the redemption of the Scheldt dues for a certain mlximum. A debate took place on the Polish question: Herr von Bismark-Schonhausen repelled the doubts expressed relative to the accuracy of his former statements. He repeated that all state ments contrary to his own which had been made by foreign Governments or Ministers were based on. error. Foreign Ministers, he said, had themselves acknowledged that they had not been correctly in formed on the subject. The Minister continued — "Tae Polish question was not originated by the Convention, but has existed since 1830. It has repeatedly exercised a great influence on Prussian interests. The Government has nothing to add to its former declarations in reference to the existence and contents of the Convention. Agents of the Polish revolution have sent telegrams from Cracow to the French papers in order to influence the French public." Herr Waldeck stated that the Government had merely yielded to the pressure of former Govern- ments. Herr von Bismark•Schonhausen replied that this assertion `sad not the least foundation, and that the Government had not yielded at all. Herr von Sybel considered that the Government had shown great hesitation, such as might be felt by one who, engaged in an unsuccessful enterprise, feels the ground slipping from beneath his feet. Herr von Sybel added— All Europe was then in error if we are to be• lieve Herr von Bismark-Schonhausen. But, consi dering the declarations of the English and French Ministers, enough remains of the Convention to tuuke Europe uneasy and to compromise Prussia." Herr von Bismark-Schonhauen replied, that he did not deny the existence of certain arrangements with Russia, and that he bad never denied this. The contents and bearing of this treaty were not, however, he said, known to the public. The Minis ter continued— " One will be surprised i❑ the end, after all the false statements in reference to the Convention, to learn what are its real contents. Is it positively false that, according to the Convention, the Russians are allowed to pursue the insurgents on Prussian territory until they meet with a number of Prussian soldiers sufficient to disarm the insurgents 9" Several members then recalled the first declara tions made by the Ministers of the Western Powers and the communications of the Prussian Ambassa- dors on this subject. Herr von Bismark said that the Western Powers had been sufficiently enlightened respecting the in accuracy of the suppositions they had formed at that time. He defended the Prussian Ambassadors in Paris and London, and intimated that they had been misunderstood. The Polish members then asked what the Go vernment intended to do with the refugees from. Russian Poland who had been sent into the in. terior. Count Eulenberg stated in reply that the inten tions of the Government were base:: on clemency in the majority of cases, especially with reference to those persons who had been drawn into the move ment against their will. On the other hand, how ever, the Government was obliged to fulfil thq obligations it had contracted with Russia. HEALTH OF LONDON.
