the eviJenee, and maintain that it was quite sufficient to enable gentlemen `to make up their minds upon the subject, and induce them to resist the appointment of the proposed commission ; or, if they did not do this, they would be hound to reject the Bill altoge ther. In the observations which he had felt it his duty to make upon this occasion, he bad been careful 'to—avoid touching upon the Factory Bill itself—and he wss the more guarded on that point, because he felt satis fied that the evidence of the medical men was more than sufficient in support of his argument; or, if any thing fur ther was wanting, it might be supplied by a reference to the numerous petitions presented on the subject. It should be considered, too, that the 'persons who had given that evidence, had no motive, could have no motive, beyond the influence of their feelings as humane and Christian men, who felt for the unjust sufferings of their fellow-creatures. He was sure that the appointment of the proposed Com mission would lead to no useful object, and that, on the , other band, it was calculated to produce considerable evil. He hoped, in what he said, he had abstained from hurting the feelings of, or giving pain to, any person either in or out of doors. He had,- undoubtedly, his own opinions upon the Factory Bill and its effects, and he would venture an opinion that under the operation, even of the best of its clauses, there was a great deal of suffering ; but into this part of the subject he would not at present enter. He would, upon the grounds he had already stated, implore the House, unless they thought the whole of the medical evidence unworthy of belief, and unless they wished to impose additional labour upon the poor little children em ployed in those establishments, to resist the appoint ment of this Commission. He was sure every Hon. Member who considered the subject for a moment must be of opinion that ten hours a day was a sufficient period during which children should labour in a factory, and that those most' interested in the matter would at length be obliged to' assent to it, as a relief to their own wounded censciencess--(Hear, hear.) Mr. H. ROSS said that when the case was before a Committee, it was arranged that Mr. Sadler should make out a case on the one hand, and that the masters were to be heard itt reply. But owing to the great mass of evi deride brought forward, and the delays which unavoidably took place, they were obliged to prorogue before the time for hearing the masters had arrived. Many Hon. Mem bers on the 'Committee were therefore under a decided im pression that under these circumstances no report would be made, and though some names had been added to the Committee, Many left town under that impression. He felt that the statements made out against the masters were most exaggerated, and under that conviction he would suppert the motion of the Hon. Member for Lancashire, because be felt that having heard the operatives they ought at least to afford the masters an opportunity of clearing themselves from the imputations cast upon them. No man was more anxious than he was that the whole ques tion should be set at rest, and that the hours of labour in those establishments should be feirly regulated. He represented a large manufacturing town, and had taken pains to visit the factories, and make himself acquainted with the hours of labour adopted in them, and he would repeat that he was anxious to have the ques tion set at rest, as well with respect to the children and operatives, as with reference to the interests of the masters themselves. He said this because it should be borne in mind that while in some factories the hours of work were 10:or 12 a day, and in others 15 or 16, the parties could not meet each other on fair and equal terms, and, therefore, it became necessary that there should be a fixed and equal regulation for the whole ; but at the sente time he was not prepared to fix the period of labour at ten hours a day. He was as much opposed as any Hon. Member in that House to the employment of children of very tender age in these establishments, and he knew that several of the owners of factories were of the same opinion, and wished to restrict those employed to the age of 12 or 13 at least. The Hon. Member con cluded by stating that he would suppott the motion of the Hon. Member for Lancashire. Mr. GISBORNE would read a letter addressed by a Member of one of the first manufacturing districts in the country to 'Lord Molineaux, on the subject of the Noble Lord (Ashley's) motion. The Hon. Member proceeded to read the letter; the writer of which described himself as belonging to an establishment in which 1,700 persons were regularly employed, all of whom were treated with the greatest kindpess and attention. He complained of the misstatements which bad gone forth, and expressed a hope that an opportunity would be afforded to the masters of vin dicating themselves from the imputations cast upon them. He (Mr. Gisborne) would put it to the House whether they were under existing circumstances in possession of sufficient information upon which to legislate for the ma nufacturing interests.—(Hear, and some signs of impatience on the part of the House.) He had expressed some opi nions on this subject on a former occasion, and be would read to the House the animadversions - which he found made upon what he had said. The statement was con tained in a Leeds Paper, and purported to come from a Mr. Oastler, the coadjutor of Mr. Sadler upon this ques tion. The Hon. Member proceeded to reed from the paper an extract in which Mr. Oastler attacked his observations relative to the inquiry respecting labour in factories, in rather strong terms. But in what he (Mr. Gisborne) had said he is as borne out by facts. The House would bear in mind that when Sir John Hobhouse brought in his Bill regulating the period of factory labour at twelve hours, it passed that House without dissent. Where then were these ten hours' labour men, who, though silent at the time, in three months after raised up the present cry ? Was it a trifle thus to keep trade in a perpetual state of fluctuation and uncertainty? Were the masters of the greatest trade in the country, he might say iu the world, • to be kept in such a state that they could not be certain, even for three months, of the regulations by which that trade was to be governed ?—(Hear.) The last commit tee met on the 12th of April, and sat until the 7th of August, during which time they held forty-three sittings, but their labours had not been completed. The Noble Lord (Ashley) had thrown overboard the evidence given in 1832. .Now, he would take leave to throw overboard the medical evidence given in 1819 —(Cries of " Oh !") He would do so, and give as his reason for doing so the fact, that since that period the whole internal regulation of factory labour had been changed ! and much of what was unwholSsome and injurious removed.—(Hear, and cries of " No.") He maintained that such was the fact. But to come back to the Committee, he would state that be bad gone out of town under the impression that the medical evidence would not be called for, and he was the more strengthened in his belief of this from a know 'este that not a sipgle question had been put to those gentlenlen in the way of cross-ex imination. The questions put did not bear upon the point, and might be considered as a series of 'inbred essays delivered by the chairman, and to which answers were given in single sentence., and sometimes• in monosyllables by the medical men. The Hon. Member then referred to the evidence of Dr. Brodie, Mr. Bell, Sir A. Leslie, and others, and said that without detaining the House with the question, he would read a few of the answers by way of specimen. They were as follows ; " Certainly ;" "No doubt ;" " Yes ;" " Mo.t certainly ;" "It does ;" " I think so;" &c. This was the laconic manner in which the most lengthened questions had been answered. They should bear in mind that they were not now legislating upon the delicate question whe ther a child in a factory was to have too much work or too little food? Would any one ask himself if it was doubtful whether a child should work twelve hours a-day, and be sufficiently fed, or whether he should work only ten hours with an insufficiency of food And yet no question of this - nature had been asked, or if it had been asked, it had 'been carefUlly•omitted. The Hon. Member then proceeded to 'read and comment upon the evidence of a ;,11r. Lupner; and afterwards adverted to the evidence given touching the management of the factories in Dundee, which he designated as a tissue of falsehoods, and stated that the things therein averred were utterly impossible. Jo conclesion he declared that the individuals eng iged in the cotton-factories Were healthier and longer-lived, and more siosperous than the operatives in any other ern pleymentS Mr. W. WYNN approved of the Bill. At the same time he suggested that a Commission of Inquiry, con sisting of three persons, might he sent to the principal manufacturing districts to collect and collate evidence, and that their report might be given in time to enable the Bill to pass that session. Mr. LENNARD observed that the House had already amply sufficient grounds to induce them to agree to his Noble Friend's Bill.--There was a perfect conformity be tween the 'medical gentlemen examined on the subject. They all concurred in saying, that twelve hours a-day, including meals, that is to say ten hours full work, was as much as could safely be exacted, even from adults. But besides the effects upon health and strength, there was another point which had not been adverted to in the pre sent debate—viz., the effects of the present system upon the minds and morals of the persons employed. It was impossible that any sort of education should be given to the children. Indeed it was stated in the evidence, that they were so exhausted after their week's labour, that they could neither attend at church on Sunday, nor at school, with any advantage. If such a system were attempted in tt,e agricultural districts, what would be said of the Magis trates who should allow children to be worked twelve and fourteen'hours a day, to the destruction of their health ? He was sure it would not be borne. He was opposed to the motion for a CommiSsion. • Lord MORPETH said there were two points to be considered in this question ; the first, whether a claim bad been made out by the manufacturers for further in quiry? and the second, supposing the former to be ad mitted, whether the general case might not so far override the particular case as to induce the House to dispense with any further investigation 1 Now with regard to the first point he had no doubt that if evidence were received on the part of the manufacturers, many instances might be given of mills and factories which were well conducted, and where the health of the children was attended to. He did not doubt that as many examples might be pro duced of sleek, smooth, and chubby children, as they had unfortunately seen crooked, squalid, and deformed. He would go further, and say that, for his ow❑ part, he be lieved that the manufacturing towns of the empire were not that region of gloom, and wretchedness, and decrepi tude; which some appeared to imagine. He believed that cruelty of treatment was the exception, and not the pervading regulation of those establishments. He thought the manufacturing bodies had a fair claim to a rehearing—or, rather, to a hearing, for as yet they had had none. But now he came to the second head, namely, whether the general case did not supersede and override the particular case ? Now, as the object must be to viudi• cate the characters of the manufacturers from aspersions which they conceived had been cast upon them by the evidence, and which they had not had an opportunity of answering—he really did not think that they wed insist upon that vindication. They should remember that their characters would be justly appreciated in their own dis tricts, where it was of most importance that they should stand well with the public ; and it was not very material what statements might have been made with regard to them in a Committee above stairs, where it was more tha❑ pro bable their names were not remembered. He thought, on the whole, that a sufficient case had not been established of actual hardship, and suffering, and sorrow, amongst children of tender years, to induce the House without any further expense er delay, to exact a measure for their pro tection and relief. Mr. G. W. WOOD was surprised to hear from the Noble Lord the argument that the manufacturers ought to be indifferent to the preservation of their characters every where else but in their own districts. 'The manu facturers only asked the House to complete that investiga tion which it last year determined to enter upon. It seemed to him rather singular that the Noble Lord (Ashley), in quoting and commenting upon the medical evidence which applied to the question, should have se lected those portions only which favoured his own view of the case, and threw overboard all that was of an opposite character. The Noble Lord proposed a measure, which, as it stood, would reduce by one-sixth the whole of the productive industry of the country. Was it too much, then, for those who not only were deeply interested in the subject themselves, but also wished to promote the welfare of their countrymen, to ask the House to see how the facts really stood, and whether the regulations proposed would accomplish the objects in ♦iew before those regula tions received the force of law ? Mr. ROBINSON was fully of opinion that the House was in a fit condition to legislate on the motion of the Noble Lord. They had not only the report of the Com mittee of last year, but the report of former Committees, and they all concurred in stating the extreme hardships to which children between nine and sixteen years of age were subjected in tnanufactories. For his part he would rather agree to the re-appointment of a Committee than to the appointment of a Commission of Inquiry, which, in his opinion, would lead only to delay. Dr. LUSHINGTON said the only qnestion before the House was whether it was in a condition to legislate on the question introduced by the Noble Lord ; and looking at the evidence which had been produced on former occa sions, he for one must say that he was fully of opinion that there could be no doubt on the subject. Evidence had been produced by medical men—by Dr. Badlie among the rest— that it was quite impossible that chil dren, between the age of nine and 16 years, cool] work fir the period of 12 or 14 hours in the 24 without immi nent injury to their health. For what object, then, could a commission be appointed ? Tie facts were all ascertained, and a commission would only produce delay. He should give his decided vote against the motion of the Hon. Mem ber for Lancashire. Mr. PHILLIPS was opposed to any unnecessary delay, but a sense of justice impelled him to support the motion for inquiry. Mr. ROBERT FERGUSON complained of the course adopted last session by Mr. Sadler on this subject. That Honourable Gentleman appeared to he overwhelmed with humanity, and could see nothing but misery. He supported the inquiry, speedy inquiry, as the only means by which the House could come to a just or satisfactory conclusion. An Hora. MEMBEr. (whose name we could not learn) said, as the effect of the motion of the Hon. Member for Lancashire must be to delay this question for another year, he should feel it his duty to vote against the motion. The medical evidence before the House was a sufficient ground for legislation, and further inquiry appeared to him to be quite superfluous. Mr. S. RICE was authorized by the Noble Lord (Althorp), and also by the Vice-President of the Board of Trade (Mr. P. Thomson), to express their regret that they were prevented from attending in their places this evening by indisposition. his Noble Friend (Lord Al thorp) had directed him (Mr. S. Rice) to endeavour to attain a knowledge of the wishes of the Members from the manufacturing districts on this motion. It was im poss,ble, as he felt, to have listened to the debate which had now been carried on for several hours, without coming to the conclusion that the weight of testimony from the manufacturing districts was in favour of the Honourable Member for Lancashire's motion. He certainly should have opposed the renewal of a Par liamentary Committee, because he felt that it was not the best tribunal for collecting evidence, or coming to a decision on the subject. He should also have opposed it, because it must necessarily have tended to produce delay. The proposition of the Hon. Member for Lancashire, how ever, was not open to either of these objections, and it was in accordance with the determination of the last Parliament. If the House proceeded to legislate without further inquiry, it would legislate upon partial evidence; and such a mode of legislation could not be satisfactory.—.. (Hear.) To prevent delay there might be more com missions than one. Commissions might be in operation simultaneously in Yorkshire, Lancashire, and Scotland. The expense of this multiplication of those commissions was, he submitted, comparatively a matter of small im portance when the manufacturing interests of England were concerned. When the necessary information was within reach, he thought it was absurd to legislate with out it. In acceding to the motion fur inquiry, he could assure the House that the Government had no wish to stifle the question. If the investigation was carried on tardily or disingenuously, the House would retain the power of putting an end to the commission, and if de served, voting a censure upon the Government. If the effect of the Noble Lord's Bill was to throw a great mass of the children employed by factories out of employment, it could not be contended that such an effect would not he most injurious to the children themselves. Between hard work and want of food every or.e would prefer the former as the lesser evil of the two.—(Hear, hear.) He re peated, in conclusion, that in supporting the motion for inquiry, he was not voting for the purpose of defeating a proper Bill when such a Bill should be introduced ; but the trade and manufactures of this country were matters too large and important to be sported with lightly. On this subject he called upon the reformed Parliament to exercise the same discretion that had been displayed by an unreformed Parliament, and to hear the evidence on both sides before they determined on any legislative measure. Mr. M. ATTWOOD said there could be now no doubt that the House had More it a mass of evidence, from which they could not fail to collect that the infant classes employed in these m tnufactories were subject to oppression and to a cruelly lengthened occupation of their labours, disproportioned to their years, inconsistent with the en joyment of health, and even likely to be attended often with death. The evil was in the system, he firmly be lieved ; nor need the Hon. Members who felt that the re commendation of a Coinioission seemed to imply that their conduct was reprehensible, have, after what had transpired, any fears that their characters were inculpated by the present proceedings, or the Bill of the Noble Lord. It was a Bill to protect those who could not protect them selves, in consequence of their tender years, and their ne cessary subjection to the wishes and commands of others. The evidence of thitt enlightened man, Dr. Farr, before the Committee, was decisive in his mind of the impropriety of the treatment of these poor children. That gentleman stated that though early in life he bad witnessed the treat ment °four slaves in the West Indies, there was no com parison between that treatment of our slaves, and the seve rity and cruelties exercised towards the infant classes em ployed in our factories at home.—(Hear.) With such evidence before the House, he thought the subject required the immediate attention of the Legislature. He should therefore oppose the appointment of a Commission, which he feared would refh.ct the utmost discredit on the since rity of the House in its wish to apply a remedy to this fearful and crying evil. Mr. CORNISH opposed the Comini,Eion amidst loud cries of " Question," and " Withdraw." Mr. W. DUNCOMBE d eno unc e d, in the strongest terms, this commission, as nut only unnecessary, but diin gerous. Ile asserted his firm conviction that, if the motion received the sanction of the House, the obvious effect of it would be to discountenance the Bill of Ma Noble Friend, the Member for Dorsetihire. From his long connexion with the county of York, where the system of the facto ries was matter of notoriety, be felt, he acknowledged, zealously and strongly upon the subject of the treatment experienced in these factories by these unfortunateTchil dren. In the absence of other authority, or official opinion on this treatment from members of the present Government, he alluded to the opinion of Mr. Huskisson, then a Minister, delivered in a speech in 1826, in which he said it was high time the Legislature should restrain the cupidity of parents, or the cruelty of overseers of the poor, and pass a law that no persons should be employed at all in these factories until they bad attained the age of nine years, at the least. He conjured the House once more to reject the motion for a Commission, because, if it were entertained, there was but little probability of the Bill of the Noble Lord being successful this session, if it did not prove the means of totally overthrowing a Bill which was loudly called for by the dictates of justice and humanity. Lord J. RUSSELL said that could he believe that the interests of those who were engaged in manufactures would be promoted by the passing of this measure, and going at once into the Bill, he should be ready to adopt that course of proceeding. He was ready to admit that some change was necessary, and the question was how that change could best be effected. Some Hon. Gentlemen seemed to think that if a commission were ap pointed the present cruel system would be continued. He could not agree that that was likely to be effected by a commission. It was not likely that any undue system o f labour would be kept up during the time that an inquiry was going on, and that the eyes of Parliament and of tv•e country were upon the proceedings. If a Bill of a similar kind were referred to a Select Committee, the discussion might then be conducted with greater calmness than it could be when a Bill of this kind was referred to a Com mittee of the whole House. Mr. A. MORETON, as represen'ative of the Western Division of the county of Gloucester, could not give a silent vote upon this occasion, nor did he think that Mem bers would consent that the Bill which the Noble Lord was to bring in should be thrust down their throats. If the question now before the House was carried, the Bill of the Hon. Member for Yorkshire could not be brought forward this session. He was sorry to see that the manufacturers were to be trampled upon without giving them time . to show that they did not deserve it. An Hos. INIENIBER, thought that a case had been made out for the interference of Government. Mr. ➢IAXWELL said, that if the Hon. Movers of the Commission agreed to limit their report so as not to pre vent the passing of the Bill, he would support the pro posed inquiry ; hut upon no other condition would he consent to its appointment. . . Mr. FIELDEN had been from childhood engaged i❑ the cotton trade. He had been introduced into a factory when he was little more than ten years old. He did not work more than ten hours a day. In the winter months they never commenced operations before daylight, and in the summer months they commenced at seven in the morning, and never extended their labour beyond sewn o'clock in the evening, with an intermission of two hours at least for meals. If he thought that the proposed inquiry would tend to elicit the truth, he should be the list to vote against it ; but his impression was that, if a com mission were appointed, and sent down where the manufactures were carried on, so far from eliciting the truth, it would be calculated for any other purpose, ma nufacturers would be able to show their cotton mills in such a state as if they had not been taken un awares. From the time that a reduction in the hours of labour had been proposed, he had always peti. tioned the House in favour of such reduction. The object of the other party was to obtain delay, so that they might strangle the Bill. What necessity was there for an inquiry to see whether children could work more than 10 hours out of the 24, without prejudice to their health ? When he worked in a factory, he had more in dulgences than other children, his lather being the pro prietor of the mill ; and he could hear his testimony to the exhaustion which children manifested before the time for ceasing labour arrived.--(Cries of " Question.") The petitions upon this subject ought not to be disregarded ; and it ill became those who were legislating for children to treat the subject with levity. Thinking that the medical evidence was borne out by his own experience, and the ex perience of others, he could not consent to give his vote in favour of this measure. An HON. MEMBER said that he thought a case had been made out for legislation. He thought that in all manu factories there ought to be two sets of children, to work five hours each. Mr. BERKELEY (we believe) said that no witness had been examined from the western districts of Wiltshire, or Gloucestershire, or from any part. of the west of Eng land. There were various peculiarities in the manufac tories there, which rendered it necessary that there should be particular clauses to meet the difficulties which would otherwise arise. Mr. W. PATTEN, in reply, said that he would meet the views of the Hon. Gentleman opposite if he altered his motion to the following :—" That an Address be pre sented to his Majesty, requesting his Majesty to appoint a commission to proceed wish the utmost despatch to collect evidence in the manufacturing disti icts as to the employ ment of children in factories; an I as to the propriety of curtailing the hours of labour, so as to enable the House to legislate upon the subject during the present session."-- (" Hear, hear," from the Ministerial benches.) On this amendment the House divided. For the amendment Against it ...•.. Majority in favour of the Commission On re-entering the gallery we found _ _ Lord ASHLEY on his legs. The Noble Lord ex - pressed a hope that the Right Hun. Member fur Cam bridge (Mr. S. Rice) would take care that the commis sioners should be men of such high and correct character as to be ahove all suspicion ; and, further, that there should be several skilful medical men amongst them. In the mean time he felt it right to observe thit he looked upon his own Bill as lost, at least during the present ses sion, because de did not see how a commission could pro ceed through England and Scotland, upon such an ex tended inquiry, and obtain more correct and extensive information than that obtained' e by Mr. Sadler's Committee, which, it was observed, was too general. Mr. S. RICE begged to assure the Noble Lord, that the commission should be appointed with the greatest care ; in short, in such a manner as to place its report beyond all cavil or dispute.--(Hear, hear.) If it should so happen that witnesses refused to attend and give evi dence before the commissioners, he thought the House might pass a short Act, compelling such attendance. Here the conversation dropped. The Mutiny Bill was read a third time, and passed. The report of the Committee on the Chinch Tempora• lilies Bill was brought up and received, and the report was ordered to be taken into consideration after Easter. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at half-past two o'clock. It is reported that Sir HENRY PARNELL is likely to be chosen as Representative for Doralee. Sir. ELLICE has been appointed Secretary of War, but the Grenville Act will not allow of his re• elec tion for Coventry, or, indeed, his election for any other place, whilst the petition against his return remains un. decided. <, The author of the Wild Sports of the West,' has at last produced his promised ' Field Book,' and added another leaf to his sporting laurels. Much was expected from one who could lead his readers, with such admirable skill, over all the wild and soul-stirring scenes presented to the Highland wanderer, and this has been, in the present instance, amply realized. The 4 Field Book,' compiled with the elegance of a scholar, and judgment of a sportsman, offers a rich fund of amusement and informa tion to those who take delight in 'sylvan exercise.' The illustrations are beautifully executed ; the plan ingenious; the arrangement happy; and in typography and embellish ment it may be safely pronounced a perfect gem."

Mr. Eniron,—When misstatements are made in either House, affecting the character or the interests of an indi vidual, it is not, I presume, a breach of Parliamentary privilege if we point out and correct such errors. Should this liberty be denied to the subject, the two Houses would possess the worst power of despotism,—the power of doing wrong unquestioned. In the debate of Monday last on Soave's Museum Bill, Mr. Joseph Hume asserted, and the press has since re peated, that I have received from my father, Sir John Swine, a sum more than equivalent to the money proposed by the Bill to be expended on the Museum in Lincoln's Inn-fields. This is not the fact. The utmost I have re ceived from my father has been about five thousand pounds in the space of two and twenty years, and yet my mother's property, to which I certainly have a moral, and, as I think, a legal claim, amounted to thirty thousand pounds; the interest alone of this money for the same time would more than quadruple the whole of Sir John Soane's al lowance. I am aware that these matters can be of little impor tance to the public, but any individual thus aggrieved, na turally feels anxious for his justification. I am, Sir, your very humble and obedient servant, GEO. SOANE. Kensington, April 3. MILITARY FLOGGING. DIVISION ON MR. HUME'S CLAUSE.

We take the following from a letter of the 22d ult., from Ancona :—" Accounts which reached us yesterday from Leghorn announce that the French brig Eclipse had come to anchor off Massa Carrara, but her object was not known. It is said that the French garrison here is about to be reinforced by another regiment, while others assert that it is to be changed. Atcording to letters received from Rome, a small squadron has cast anchor off the port of Civita Vecchia, hut to what nation it belongs was not known. Other letters state that some ships of war, under the French flag, have been seen to pass by the coast of Tuscany and Civita Vecchia." The Nuremberg Correspondent has the following of the 20th ult. from Vi?nna :—" Yesterday the corps of miners, sappers, and pioneers, entered Vienna from their neighbouring quarters. A great part of them are going to Brixen, to he employed in constructing the new fortifi cations. This town, in which the three principal roads from Austria to the Lombardo Venetian kingdom meet, will be made a fortress of the first class. The rest of the corps are ordered to march to the territory of Venice, in order to complete the fortifications along the coast of Venice, Istria, and Dalmatia. This extensive coast will soon be made secure against foreign invasion, and afford safe harbours to the Austrian merchant vessels. The prin cipal points where fortifications are to be erected are Venice, the port of Pola in Istria, Porto Re, Spalatro, Zara, Ragusa, and Caltaro, on the coast of Dalmatia." The Munich Gazette of the 27th ult. states that the King of Bavaria has appointed Baron de Cetto, hitherto Bavarian Minister to the Court of London, to be his Ple nipotentiary at the Court of Austria. His Majesty has also appointed M. de Gasser, Counsellor of Legation, to be his Charge d'Affaires in Greece. On the 26th ult. the Saxon Envoy at the Court of Munich, Baron de Reizen; stein, proceeded in state to Court, in order to solicit the hand of the Princess Mary of Bavaria, for the Prince Co. Regent, Frederick Augustus of Saxony. The Courier de l'Europe contains the following:— " The physicians, and more particularly Dr. Mesniere, have been urged to diffuse as widely as possible their opi nions upon a point to which the alarms of the legitimatist p arty are directed. We cannot say to what extent pre cisely the servile physicians of the juste-milieu concur in speaking the truth, when they declare that the affection of the chest, under which it is known the Duchess of Berry has a long time suffered, has nut acquired such a degree of intensity as to put the life of the Princess in greater or less danger. We, however, feel it our duty to declare, that we are well disposed to give credit to this opinion, which within these last three days has been promulgated with zeal. But we are much better enabled to enlighten our readers and the country upon another and much more dangerous affection. We affirm that she is very frequently seized, and several times in the same day, with nervous attacks, attended with convulsions so severe, that those around her bed are doubtful whether she has expired or will return to life. We affirm, that these doubts have been entertained not only by Madame d'Hautefort and the Count de Brissac, but also by the head gaolers of Blaye. Let us, however, add, in order to be correct, that as soon as the Duchess recovers from these frightful fits, she reso. lutely resumes her occupations of the day. Instead of being a known disorder, the progress of which may be followed by science with some assurance of alleviation, one of these fits, winch none are able to prevent, or even to foresee, may, from its mortal violence, carry off the Duchess in one moment." The journal defies the Government to contradict a single word of the foregoing statement. Count Pozzo di Borgo, Count d'Appony, and Baron Werther, had a long conference yesterday at the residence of the Duke de Broglie, at which General Sebastiani was present. The affairs of the East were discussed, and it is asserted that Count Pomo di Borgo proposed, with a view to bring the question to a solution, certain conditions which were decidedly resisted by the Duke de Broglie and Gen. Sehastiani. The Tribune says--" Marshal :liaison is talked of as likely to succeed Marshal Soult as Minister of War. The ex-Ambassador will enter entirely into the views of the Doctrinaire Ministry, and adopt the exceptional mea sures they intend to present to the Chambers." The Duke de Rovigo has arrived at Paris. The Indejiendant de la Moselle says :—" We learn from Sarre-Louis that the Prussian Government has re duced the garrison of that town to 1,000 men." The Augsburg Gazette contains the following, dated Frontiers of Poland, March 19 :—" It is said that Prince Paskewitsch has been called to St. Petersburgh to be con sulted on the state of Poland, where several changes are to be made in the Administration. The repeated and energetic retnonstrances on the part of England and France appear to have been productive of better treatment towards the Poles. It will be impossible to restore what existed before this.unfortunate war, but by treating Poland upon more humane principles, the situation of that country msy be improved. The re-establishment of manufactories ap pears to be impossible; they will never be able to stand the cimpetition of those of Russia without encouragements to the disadvantage of the latter, which the Emperor will never grant. Poland has, therefore, no resource but agriculture, which Russia is al-o much disposed to en courage. It is said that the Emperor Nicholas will visit Warsaw in May. Every exertion, will, therefore, be made to tranquillise, in some degree, the public mind, and to obliterate the remembrance of past events. The Russian troops will change their cantonments in April, and be partly withdrawn from the frontiers of the West. Their num ber in Poland amounts to 64,000 men, with 190 pieces of artillery. The influenza is now prevailing at Warsaw. Gen. Witt, who commands in the-absence of Prince Paske witsch, has been attacked by it. This disease is epidemic, sometimes eve❑ contagious, but easy to be cured if taken in time." The Necker Gazette gives the following, under date of Frankfort-on-the-Maine, March 25th:— " It is said with confidence that fresh resolutions of the Diet will shortly he pablished, having for their object a revision of the Constitution of Electoral Hesse, consi dering that the present Constitution was not guaranteed by the Diet, and that it was extorted by the people under revolutionary circumstances. It is added that, in future, the sittings of the German States are to be public only when material interests are discussed ; but when questions of gene; al policy and public rights are the subjects of debate the sittings will be secret. This affair is consi dered as settled, for the Count de Munch Bellinghausen has taken his departure for Vienna, and M. de Nagler for Berlin." A letter of the Ist ult., from Naples, says :—" Greece has been divided into three principal sections—namely, the Morea, Continental Greece, and the Islands. Plapons tar, one of the three Commissioners sent to Bavaria to congratulate the King, is appointed Governor of the first division ; Coletti, of the second ; anti Zaimi, of the third. These appointments, as well as many others, show that the first object of the Regency is to calm the animo sity, and to put an end to the dissension that has separated the different parties; nevertheless Colocotroni, and some of his warmest partisans, have been put aside, as well as others noted for their republican principles." The King of Spain has decidedly adopted the policy of the juste milieu, as appears by the following letter from Madrid, dated the 26th ult., which arrived yesterday by express. It is unnecessary to remark that the writer of the letter is himself one of the party : —" The Conserva tive party has at length gained the ascendancy over that which in the interest of the Queen, sought to carry re form and political changes too far. By Royal decrees, dated yesterday, addressed to the President of the Council, M. Zea Berroudtz, Dan Juan Gualberto Gonzalez is ap pointed Minister of Justice, in the room of Don Fernandez del Pino, who resumes his seat in the Council of Castile, with the rank of Counsellor of State; Don Antonio Martinez is nominated Minister of the Finances in the room of Don Encima y Piedra, to whom has been granted the Grand Cordon of Elizabeth the Catholic, with a pension of 4001. The Minister of War, Don Joseph Cruz, is charged ad interim with the portfolio of the Marine in the room of M. Ulloa, who is dismissed. Don Antonio Fernandez de Urrutia is appointed Secretary to the Council of State and the Council of Ministers, in stead of the Marquis de Casa Irujo, who is appointed Minister to the United States of America. Don Matias Herrera Prieto is nominated Superintendent-General of the Police, in the place of Don Mertinez de St. Martin, who will set off without delay for Badajos in Extrema dura. The Minister of War, Cruz, has just sent the fol lowing significant Circular to the Military Commanders in -Chief, which appears in the official Gazette of this day : Excellency,—The King, our Lord, having been in formed that there still remain disloyal or misguided mien, who wish to renew the conspiracy of St. Ildefonso, during his illness, in order to overthrow the fundamental law, regulating the succession to the Crown; and that others, on the contrary, who proclaim themselves faithful, and affect to maintain the principle of the legitimate succession, as ffi if c i i e t n h t l a y d e n s t e a ed of the support t, sh e d}ltb el aw f coterie, by t a he nd fidelity wa of s t not be people of Spain, and the courage of a powerful and loyal army, do not cease bringing forth projects for political in novations, which would limit the salutary prerogatives of the Crown, over which both one and the other dare to seek to dominate for their own particular interests, under the appearance of affording it protection,—his Ma jesty commands that your Excellency should exercise ex treme vigilance Within your division, over all meetings A Oh , that may be held undei• such pretences, bet roillif!' have no other end than to disturb the publ ic t ,,ce, I .4 'r that you will not permit, under any pretence, 4tio, tions of armed men, who do not form part oliy,to; army, the Royalist Volunteers, or the corps ° ,,,i , t ,,,, house Guards, notwithstanding any authoriot4 they may assert that they are furnished with; ,:, 1 1 i co f that order and tranquillity, for which bas ig v or you responsible, may be maintained, by the ir e°',,fetto, all the means with which your Excellency l,eiiii,; the preservation of order, will merit as much o,, i r tion and favour of his Majesty, as the existencele,oi, and disturbance would excite his sovereign diq,,,„ " These resolutions have not produced anY; l Y e t , festation at Madrid.
