A Court of Common Council was held yesterday for the purpose of considering the report of the Day and Night Police Committee for an application to Parliament for an Act to consolidate the day police and the nightly watch of the City.—The Court was very numerously attended. The London Bridge Committee presented a re port for sealing a bond to the Bank for the advance of the further sum of 50,0001. for the purposes of the Bridge and its approaches, which was agreed to, and the bond sealed. The Court, upon another report from that Com mittee, dirt- cted the payment of 800/. into the Bank, in the case of a defect in the title to premises purchased for the purposes of the approaches to the bridge. Several petitions were presented, and referred to different Committees for consideration. Mr. Alderman `Noon then brought forward the report of the Police' Committee, and, after ex plaining his views and opinions thereon, concluded by moving that the Court agree therewith. Mr. Deputy PEACOCK seconded the proposition. Mr. EYTON, of Cornhill Ward, supported the measure. . Mr. Deputy ANGELL opposed it. Mr. LEGG, after entering into various objec tions to the proposed measure, moved the previous question, which was seconded by Mr. Deputy Hicks. Mr. CHARLES PEARSON then addressed the Court at considerable length, in favour of some Bill being brought into Parliament for consolidating the Dry and Night Police of the City upon the principles detailed in the draft of the Bill, but by confining the assessment to ninepence in the pound, instead of one shilling, as therein proposed, and that the assessments should be made on the basis of the sewers' rate. The report was supported by Mr. Jones, Mr. Stevens, Mr. Pritchard, and Mr. Deputy Tickner, and opposed by Mr. Deputy Corney ; and several other members being desirous to speak upon the question, the further debate was agreed to be ad joutned to this day, when the Lord Mayor will hold another Court, at one o'clock. .._ t,..,,,.„ ~.........1 ..,4 4.)

On Lord AUCKLAND moving that the House resolve itself into a Committee on the Cotton Duties Bill, Lord ELLENBOROUGH rrfet red to the measure by which the tax on raw cotton was irnpos-d in 1831, and to the proposal which was then made, but not adopted, to increase the duty upon East India cotton also. From the refusal to impose the duty, a'great advantage had arisen to the manufacturer, as was proved by the increased im port, as well as the improved quality of the article. Small as the duty now was, he thought a further considerable advantage would he gained by its total removal. The Earl of RIPON would be one of the last men to ”ppose any measure for eneourag.og our imports from the E,st Indies ; but he thought the duties on East India produce had now been reduced so low, that a further re duction would not increase the consumption. Lord ELLENBOROUGU would take that opportunity of calling attention to anoth-r of the duties laid on in 1831 ; he meant the wine duties. The result had proved that instead of producing an increase to the revenue, it had created a loss of 5,0001. The comforts of the people had been diminished by the change, and the revenue bad gained nothing. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE sail, that the wine duties had not yet had a fair trial since the alteration was mad:. He vindicated the course pursued by the Govern ment with regard to the revenue, and said that the in crease of the duty on cotton was adopted to enable them to take off that on printed calicoes, which had proved so beneficial to the trade. tlo.

The following is the report of the Lords' Select Com mittee appointed to inquire into the allegations of the preamble of the Bill entitled, "An Act to indemnity Persons who have teen guilty of Bribery in the Election of Burgesses to serve in Parliament fur the Borough of Stafford," and to teport to the House:— Ordered to report, That the Committee have met, and have examined several witnesses in proof of the allegations of the preamble of the said Bill, upon whose evidence it is clearly esta blished, that not only at the last election, but that et pre vious elections, for a long period of years, the electors of Stafford have been in the habit of selling their votes for money, in the most open and undisguised manner; the Committee therefore have no he.itation in reporting that the first allegation, vie., that ' 6 there i• reason to believe that there has been the most notorious, long-continued, and general bribery and corruption in the election of bur gesses to serve in Parliament for• the borough of Staf ford, and that such bribery and corruption are likely to continue and be practised in future, unless some means are taken to prevent the same," is true beyond the pos sibility of a doubt. With respect to the second allegation, viz., that " a pe tition against such practices has been presented to the Commons' House of Parliarn-nt," the Committee have not been able to discover that any petition complaining of general practices of bribery has been presented to the House of Commons. They are not aware that any other petition touching the borough of Stafford has been pre sented, except one presented on the 4th of February, 1833, and subsequently withdrawn, and the other on the 18th of the same mouth, of which the last only complains of bribery at the last election, but does not refer to such practices on former occasions. The Committee have examined several witnesses in order to ascertain whether the said corrupt practices crn be proved by persons not themselves implicated ; and they are of opinion that it may be necessary to examine persons implicated in bribery; and that in such cases such persons as are examined and give evidence to any Committee of the House of Commons, or at the bar of either House of Parliament, and shall give evidence to the satisfaction of the chairman of such Committee, or of the Speaker of the House of Commons, or the Lord Chancellor or Speaker of the House of Lords, ought to he indemnified, with the exception of the candidates at the last election and their agents, and such other persons as have had actions for bribery already brought ag tinst them. The second reading of the Bill is fixed for this evening. The intended French performances at the Queen's Theatre, are again pos•poned from to-night until next Monday night, in consequence of the continued in disposition, from sore throat, of M. LAFONT -. We understand that the worthy Chairman of the Board of Stamps and the Secretary, are both laid up with violent colds caught (ruin riding in a damp and dirty hackney coach, the windows of which had not a single whole pane of glass. If the principal of the office which licenses these carriages, suffers thus ivitbout complaining, what chance have the public i❑ general of obtaining better accommodation' _ _ The contemplated review of the household troops, in honour of the Dukes of ORLEANS and BRUNS WICK, is deferred, we understand, until the week after next, when their new clothing will he ready. It is stated that bearskin caps are to be substituted for the helmets heretofore worn by the Guards. WEST WORCESTERSHIRE ELECTION.— Wednesday last being the day appointed for the nomina tion of a Member in the room of the Hon. Mr. FOLEY (now Lord FOLEY), the friends of the two candidates (Messrs. PAKINGTON and WINNINGTos) were in motion early in the morning. The hustings were erected in a field at the back of the Talbot Inn, and by half-past nine not less than 4,000 persons were on the spot. Mr. PA KINGTON, the Conservative candidate, was beaten at the list election for the eastern division, and he is now, in company with his lady, on the billows of the Atlantic, with the intention of taking a summer's tour in North America. Captain WINNINGTON, the Government or Whig candidate, is the hiroth?r of Sir THOMAS Wirt- NINGTON, the Member for Bewdley. At half-past ten o'clock, the usual formalities being gone through, Si r CHRI , TOTHER Satin' came forward to propose Captain W I NNINGToN. He was recei v e d with immense applause. Roar. BERKELEY, Esq., of Spetchley-park, seconded the nomination. JOHN WILLIA)ts, Esq., came forward, but for some time lie could not obtuin a hear in g . He did not propose Mr. PAKINGTorr on the ground of his being op posed to the Reform Bill, or on the groun d of his being a high Tory—(Laughter and cheers) —for be considered that Mr. PAICINGTON would give every assistance to the working of the Bili.—(No, no.) He proposed Mr. PA KINGTON as a fit and proper person to represent the western division of Worcestershire.—(Hisses, intermin gled with cheers.) T. CLuzzow BROCK, Esq., s canded the nomination. Notice was then given that the polling would commence at nine o'clock on Monday morning next. JERSEY PARLIAMENT. We have seen with no little surprise in a Jersey paper, called the British Press, an account of what we cannot help thinking an unwise and uncalled-for interference on the part of the Lieutenant-Governor of that island with the rights and privileges of the people, at the head of whose administration be is placed. This appendage of the British crown has a small Parliament of its own— which probably attracts little attention in Europe—called its States. These States are convoked, like the British Senate, to enact laws for the island. Like the British Parliament, they were lately seized with the spirit of reform, and though they did not alter the composition of the legislative body, they were anxious, by giving publicity to their proceedings, to invite the vigilant control, and to enjoy the gratifying approbation, of public opinion. They, therefore, declared their sit tinge open, like other legislative assemblies, which mean to be useful, and are not afraid to be watched. This change was effected by a formal act, which abrogated a law passed more than forty years ago, enjoining their de liberations to he conducted with closed doors. It is neces s try for a Bill of this kind to be confirmed by the King in Council, and the Lieutenant-Governor, in transmitting it, had given such an idea of its inexpediency, that the King has refused his sanction. Such is the state of things now in the island of Jersey. Kind William, by bis Lieutenant Governor, is to rule tha island on the coast of France as he rules his German king dom of Hanover. These honest patriots, who are so zea- lons in promoting the welfare and so desirous of sharing the respect of their fellow-citizens, are to be debarred from opening their sittings to the public, and are compelled t. deliberate like a Turkish Divan or a Roman Conclave, with closed doors, without reporters, without a gallery, and without a tribune. How can real patriotism and elo quence flourish in such an assembly ? In consequence of this impolitic and despotic interfe rence, the Governor and the States are in a kind of ope.• hostility to each other. We are totally at a loss to know why the Jersey Parliament is to be thus resisted in its lau. dable anxiety for the publicity of its discussions. Has it any secrets which ought not to be divulged, or is bis Ex cellency afraid that, if it opened its doors, it may be over awed by the presence of strangers ? No good reason i assigned for this extraordinary prohibition of publicity, so inconsistent with English practice, and so contrary to the spirit of the age; and we hope that, the attention of Ministers being called to the subject, the veto will be recalled, and the patriotic orders of Jersey be allowed to have an audience. If we mi_ ht judge from what took place on the an• nouncement of the letter refusing the King's sanction to, the act of the States, the Lieutenant-Governor would seen) to have acted more from pique than from any ♦iews of political expediency, as the following explanation will show _ _ _ - - " The Rector of Grouville felt anxious to learn who had been the instigator in this affair. Was it the President ? was it the Lieutenant-Governor who had prejudiced the minds of their Lordships against the act of the States ? " The Lieutenant Bailli said the President had in ne way interfered. " The Rector of Grouville resumed. If it was his Excel lency, he thought he owed the Assembly some explanation for having secretly opposed a measure which had met the unani mous concurrence of the States. He should be glad to hear how his Excellency would justify himself. " The Lieutenant-Governor denied having done anything clandestinely ; he had written two letters on the subject, which had been seen by two or three members of the States. Far from wishing to conceal those letters, he should not care to see them publicly exposed against the walls of the town. As to any explanation of his conduct, he certainly owed none to the States, nor should he give any. He had not been treated by them in a manner to entitle them to any indulgence on his part. From the committee of harbours, he had met with any thing but the courtesy which was due to a person in the situa tion which he had the honour to hold. He had, during the existence of the cholera, applied for returns of the vessels which daily entered and sailed from the island. He had received a few, but they had been suddenly discontinued. He would, however, do the president of that committee the justice to say, that he had borne no share in the slight put upon him. He was a perfect gentleman, who fully understood the respect which was due to him as Lieutenant-Governor ; lie was evidently acquainted with the forms or biens6ances of polished society." The Jerseymen have substantial privileges 'o maintain, which we hope they will never abandon. We observe, that among that comparatively untaxed portion of our fellow-subjects, a man may enjoy his newspaper for V., and drink his bottle of wine for is. The Legislative States may well court publicity, and defy criticism, while they continue so comfort , ible and easy a system of taxation. g f y or of the tb d e ea c d a . the ß dr e i t l w l ee la n d A very remarkable scene occurred last week at Rouen, on the occasion of the funeral of Madame DUVERSIN, an actress who had enjoyed great celebrity who constituted the fun( ral refuse dt p lo r l e o or c e e l s ni si r o t n 4o , omo p pa r enP e ry • ef e ory i en ; presented c rs i :; t il h eo e : T i v i se s i e vre l ev v rci e c: themselves the church door, which was found shut, though at an hour when it was usually open, but on . knocking they were a d mitte d. Th e body was then came , ' into the sanctuary, and no priest present ing himself, the prayer for the dead was recited by one of the persons who attetidc! the ceremony. This done, the corpse was carried in procession to the spot fixed on for its int , rtnent, and being deposited there, the crowd se parated without the slightest disturbance. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 10, 1833. FRENCH SINKING FUND. The French Sinking Fund is composed of two sums; first, of 44,616,463 francs, allowed as th, annual gum paid out of the taxes for redeeming th, n :dons' debt ; and second, is composed this year of the sum of 48,473,157 fratxs, the interest on an funds already bought up, but which in France ar« not annulled, but invested again by the annual sums allowed for the Sinking Fund. Of course next year this 48 millions will be added to by the proceeds of the interest on the capital invested this year—and so on every year as long as the 44,616,463 francs. or any other sum, shall be annually applied to the purchase of the Rentes which are to he annually bought up by the Sinking Fund. You of course. therefore, understand that the Rentes which have been bought up already in years gone by amount tt 48,473,157 francs per annum, and that this suit can either continue to be applied to buying ul more Rentes, as is the case at present, or else to the general or any specific expense of the Government. These two sums, at present forming the Sinking Fund, and amounting to 93,089,620 francs pet annum, are not applied in redeeming the 5 pet Cent., because the 5 per Cents. are above par, and are not, therefore, redeemable, but are applied it the redemption of the 44. 4, and, above all, 3 per Cent. Stocks. The interest of the 5 per Cent. Rentes amounts to 134,370,931 f. per annum; that of the CI per Cent, to 972,218 f.; that of the 4 per Cent. to 2,889,158 f.; wid that of the 3 per Cent. to 30,682,268 f. The total of the interest on this funded debt, on which the Sinking Fond operates, is then 166,914,475 f. The sum of 93,089,620 f. is of course then applied in purchasing from week to week portions of the capital of ti e stock which constitutes these retires. But as the 5 per Cents. are above par, 5 per Cent. Stork ought not and cannot be purchased; and, consequently. the Sinking Fund is at this moment nearly wholly employed in buying up 3 per Cents. The absurdity of this system is obvious, since, whilst 5 per Cents. are at 102, the 3 per Cents. are actually at neat ly 78. If money is worth 5 per cent. in France (and it is worth that sum), then the 5 per Cents. are at the right price; but the 3 per Cents. are infinitely too high. If, on the contrary, money is not worth 5 per cent., and the 3 per Cents. are, therefore, at 78, why then five per cents for the same reason ought to be at a corresponding price with the three percents., that is to say, if seventy-eight be a just price for the three per cents., 130 is the just price for the five per cents., instead of 102. The truth, then, is, that the three per cents, are sent up by the ridiculous ap plication of nearly the whole of the Sinking Fund to the purchase of three per cent. Rentes, in con sequence of the five per cent., Rentes being above par. M. Laffitte has perceived the folly and the wretchedness of this Gambling at the Bourse, and has come forward with a proposition for reducing the Sinking Fund to the annual sum of 44,600,000 francs voted by the Chamber, and for applying the interest of the funds bought up, amounting this year to 48,473,157 francs, to the relief of the peo ple, by diminishing the burden of their taxation. M. L3flitte also proposes to divide the 44,600,000 ants as follows :-Ist 30,700,000 francs for buying up five per cent. stock; 2d., 240,000 francs for funding 4f per cent. stock; 3d. 1,660,000 francs towards reducing four cent. stock; and 4th, only 12 millions, instead of nearly 90 millions of francs, in sinking three per cent. stock. Thus, the tricks of the Bourse gamesters would be stopped—a modes rate,and well apportioned, and proportionate Sinking Fund would be established—the additional tax pro posed on liquids would be rendered unnecssary, and the stock bought up by the Sinking Fund would at once become useful to the people, by diminishing, the enormous burdens they are compelled to sus tain. This proposition, of M. Laffitte will, how ever, be opposed by the Minister, a;td by all who prefer an unequal and gambling Sinking Fund, which can be applied as the Government may think fit, in supporting this or that Stock in the market, according to the individual speculations of the Mem bers of the Administration, and not in purchasing at low prices the Stocks, with the sole object in view of paying off the d, bt, and saving 'minty to France. A Project of Law, conferring the benefit of primary instruction on the population of France, has just passed the Chamber of Deputies, and has been sent up to the Chamber of Peers. It is too monarchical—too aristocratical—smacks too much of a government measure—and is far from heing what France could have desired, especially as it does not provide for the education of females. But yet this project is a great good; and when it shall have passed the House of Peers, one of the promises of the Charter of 1830 will have been redeemed. The priests have been excluded from the manage ment of those schools for the young in the French communes, without they are elected by the people. This is an immense good. The Government took the part of the priest , , and wished them to be mem bers of the Council of Educivion, by virtue of their office. But this was rejected, and priests will not any longer be allowed to dominate over the maters of the public schools. Nor are the masters of the schools elected in the communes to be any longer subject to approval and confirmation by the Munster of Public Instruction. This also is a great im provement. On the whole, the Project of Law is a vast step taken ; and though much will remain to be effected, the law will accomplish much. Let us then rejoice, that at last the Revolution of July will confer upon France the benefit of Infant Schools. 0. P. Q. nu the:23l, M. Gasparin, the prefect of th..! I lepartment 'he Rhine, received orders by telegraph to prevent tht ')anquet from t,kintz place, and to publish an ordinance. leclaring that by virtue of the laws of the 14th and 180 D,cernber, 1789. of the 16th and 24th August, 1790 mi of the 19th ant! 22d July, 1791, he, the Prefect, pro ,,,bited the festive Republican scene in question. Thi , . . ,oilinance was received with hisses and groans, and tin Republicans declared that they would not regard it, as it was illegal and monstrous. Some of the most celebrate , ' barristers of the city were also consulted—and they al ,igned an opinion that such an ordinance was opposed ti the charter of 1830, which had repealed all those old ano worn-out laws of by-gone times and days which had in, nger any connexion with the period in which we live. The excitement which this ordinance occasioned, was ..on augmented by another, which issued on the 27t1 ivotu the sam? Doctrinnaire Prefect, and which actual!, prohibited the Troubadours, who for years past have amused td delighted the working classes of Lyons by their song Ind mirth, from continuing their practice of singing the " Marseillaise," " Parisienne," and other popular airs. Tilts, popular airs had recently been sung to words in praise of o .e R.-public, and which were, therefore, offensive to thi Prefect—and their prohibition was, therefore, pronounced, ['his Ordinance led to disturbances on the 28th and 29th —the young men and the workmen joined publicly in l!nging boto the airs, which were in•erdicted, and shouts of " Vice la Republique!" rent the air. Apprised of these cireumstanc,s, and anxious to preserve the second city o 1 the kingdom from the horrors of martial law and a state of siege, to which Paris had been subj , cted, M. G irnier Pages declined attending—advised that the fete should be at least put off—and recommended obedience to the laws, ,:i none hut a legal resi•tance to oppressive measu r er. The National also counselled the friends of the liberty of the press at Lyons to avoid c infl ct wi h the mlitary forces of the Government, which the latter would rejoice t bring to bear against them—and cautioned them against ,njoring their cause by an imprudent conflict with the Government, unless they could be sure of success. Of course, the National d elated that the fete was legal—that the Ordnance of the Pref,ct countermanding it was irra tional and absurd—and that as a matter of right the R. pub- lic ins of Lyons were and •uhtedly entitled toassemble. Bur the National counselled the Republicans to content them selves with protesting against the illeplity of the decision of the Prefect, and there, fur the present, leave the ques Lion. Tire Republicans of Lyons appear, however, averse to adopting this advice—and they have, to the present moment, only consented to postpone the fete until to morrow week. This Republican demonstration has crew ed much uneasiness to the Government, and excited considerable alarm among the Dactrinnaires for the ‘' handful" of nctious turn out in even one city to be 5,000 male Republicans. There have been likewise, during the few past days, troubles not only at Lyons but at Leves—and not only at Lcves but at Chartres—and at Tarascon, Chaumont, Gevres, Montpellier, and in the departments of La Vendee. These troubles in the departments are, in some cases, po litical, in others religious, and in others have been to mented by local acts of oppression and by local bad govern ment. But these troubles show every where the existence of dissatisfaction, of discontent, of unhappiness, and of that uneasy state of feeling which precedes a more general and extensive explosion. It is, therefore, that to them I direct your attention. 0. P. Q. FRANCE. THE REPUBLICANS AND THEIR PRO POSED FETE AT LYONS. The pros edinga and the intentions of the Republicans at Lyons are just now the subject of serious and of painful reflection. According to the calcu'ation even of their enemies, there are at Lyons five thousand male Repub licans, who are desirous of being present at a Republican banquet (proposed to be given to morrow) to M. Garnier Pages, the Republican deputy, which has now been post poned to the 12th inst. Now, have the goodness to mark this down, and when you are told by some of the corre spondents of the Globe and the Courier, that the Repub licans in France are " a mere hand ul of factious men," why reply to them that the " handful " must he a very large one, since 5,000 males, all Repubhcans, desired to be present at a banquet to be given to one of the most zealous Republicans in all France—l mean M. Garnier Pages— and I cannot avoid observing, that as it is admitted that there are 5,000 male Republicans who propose to assist at the banquet in question, there are a vast many, who. by ar • infirmities, sickness, poverty, &c.,are prevented from attend ing—but who yet areßepublicans in heart and soul. Besides these male Republicans of the city of Lyons, there are 0 e female Republic ins—and their children, from 15 to IS years of age—forming certainly together a total of at least 20,000 Repu licans in the city of Lyons! This " hand ful" of factious persons, propose to meet together to Corm an association for the defence of the press, and to show by their un on and firmness, that they are not disposed to acquiesce in the wretched system of government followed up by the Doctrinnaires. I am not ab,iut to enter into the discussion whether M. Gamier Pages, who was invited to this republican f te, was or was not selected on account of his uncompromising hot. , ility to the present deplorable Ministry, or because be is known to be opposed to what is called a constitutional monarchy. Perhaps the mo tives were mixed, though I am disposed to believe that the latter reason prevail d, and that M. Gamier Pages was invited because he is a zealous and devoted republican. A large spot at Brotteaux, at the Elysee Lyonnais," has been selected for the ,place of meeting, and six thou ',And guests have premised to be present. The notice which was distributed by the chiefs of the republican party were distributed on the 22d April, and in a very few hours the tickets were all taken, and the names all subscribed, But SPAIN. The subjoined correspondence is curious, and, at tbill moment, interesting. The cone uding passage in t he Princess de Beira's letter shows that she did not dread an inquiry into her conduct previous to her departure from Madrid. " Dear Maria Theresa,—His most faithful Majesty, your august brother, having manifested to me, in a letter which he addressed to me from Braga, under date of the e3d of list month, his desire that you should return to the boom of your family, in consequence of the guardian ship of your son, the Infant Don Sebastian, and the cause of your coining to Spain having termin ,ted, I have re solved, i❑ contoimity to the wishes of my august nephew, that you immediately proceed on your j.iurney to Lisbon, in order that you may take up your residence near him and your younger sisters ; with this, my beloved niece, I pray God to have you in his holy keeping. (Signed) " FERDINAND. " In the Palace, March 9, 1833•" (nNswEa.) " The utmost surprise has been excited in me by the Royal order which I ta eve just received from your Majesty, in which you inform me that, in compliance with the re quest of my brother, the King of Portugal, and, in con- sequence of the g uardianship of my son having terminated, I am to proc ed to the bosom of my family ; and your Majesty is further pleased to ordain that I do this imme diately. This most severe determination produces in me the greater surprise, as, o❑ the part of my brother, I had no antecedent that could make ine imagine a step of this kind, which he has taken without my knowledge, and contrary to what I had reason to exp-•et ; to which is to be added that, as the object in view is to restore me to the bosom of my family, 1 am by this means sep rated from the fist and principal part of it to which I bdong, and it would almost seem that my brother's resolution, in making to your Majesty the proposal above mentioned, arose out of some motive relit ing to my conduct. " I, therefore, request your• Majesty to clear up this point by means of a legal investigation, and by competent proceedings being instituted against we. " I request y our Majesty to favour me with your ulterior orders fur my due compliance therewith, &c. (Signed) " MARIA THERESA." The accounts from Madrid are not important. It was reported that Don Carlos intended to protest. from Lisbon, in the most formal manner, against the repeal of the Salk: Law. Should he determine on such a step, it was sup posed the hopes of his party would so far revive as to threaten Spain with a civil war. DUTCH PAPERS. THE HAGUE, MAY 7.-We learn that the King and Queen will leave this place on the 15th, to go to the Loo. His Royal Highness the Prince of Orange is expected here this evening, Irons the head quarters. L tat S iturday his Royal Highness had a long con ference with the Governor of North Holland, and on the following thy visited the Ortentchars and Crevecesur. The Rotterdam Courant says—" The report that the Russian Government will allow Dutch ships to sail with Russian colours and papers, seems to deserve little credit. We are positively informed that the Russian Consuls in this kingdom know nothing of such a measure. Even supposing that the Dutch ships that have wintered in Russia, and are now returning home with cargoes on Russian account, should be allowed tie use of the Russian flag, it by no means follows that the Russian Government will grant its fl tg to all Dutch ship ; it even appears that the formalities required in Russia itself to obtain the Russian flag and papers render it quite impossible." - .
