How ever anxious he may be to play the part of a despot, and be the NAPOLEON of Peace, it is pal pable that he can only govern France by means of the orators and men of talent of the Chamber of Deputies. Being under that hard condition, and these men being all rivals struggling for power, and dividing the interest of the country amongst them, it is quite clear that what is called a strong Government, or a Government approaching to des potism, is every day becoming in France a greater impossibility. The instant it became necessary in the progress of society and intelligence for a Go vernment to give a reason for every step it takes and that reason has to be discussed by a popular, assembly, a strong or a despotic Government is at an end. Our Tory writers continually complain that the Government of the United States, which is founded on the popular prin ciple, is feeble ; but every Representative Go vernment approaches in principle that of the United States ; and in proportion as the intelligence of the people increases, as they take an interest in public affairs, and as public writers gain influence over the public mind, whether the suffrage be uni versal or very limited, whether the Parliament be renewed every year or every seven years, their Government must become weaker, like that of the United States. If that Government be, as our Tory writers continually affirm, a dangerous Go vernment, strange scenes may be looked for in Europe ; for assuredly the Governments of Europe, and particularly the Governments of the most advanced nations of Europe, are in essence and in fact, if not in name, rapidly approximating to the condition of the Government of the United States. What do we see in England ? Why our Go vernment, so far from being strong, is bearded in a measure which is good in principle, by the decayed and degraded Corporation of the City of London, and will most probably be obliged to give up the City Police Bill. Not one, but a dozen of its measures, have been stifled in the House of Peers, or withdrawn from the Commons from inability to carry them through the Houses of Parliament. Every appointment they make is questioned ; the Church overawes them ; the Tories jibe and restrain them ; the Chartists mock at them ; the Convention seems almost as powerful as the Ministry ; Mr. O'CoN NELL has more real dominion in Ireland than they have ; the Corn-law Delegates have compelled them to divide the Cabinet, because the Chief of the Cabinet, secure of his seat in the Legis• lature, would not give up the Corn-laws, while the other Members of it, depending for their seats on the people, had no alternative but to gratify the inhabitants of the towns ; and the Radicals, who constitute a large portion of their Parliamentary strength, tell them to their face that they are thought to be no longer worthy of support. Why, our Executive, with all our boasting, is at this moment as weak as that of Mr. VAN BUREN. The habits of the two people are different; we are more than the Americans accustomed to march with our Government ; we are habituated to go toge ther : but when any difference arises here—between our Government and the Church, there—between the Executive and the Sympathizers,theGovernment in both countries is equally powerless, and it can only in one case deplore the not-to-be-bridled activity of hot-headed and ready-armed borderers, and in the other, the deep-rooted and not-to-be overcome prejudices of Deans and Chapters, and the ladies who frequent Cathedrals. Our Tories imagine that this state of things, which is obviously a general result of the progress of intelligence, arises from the incapacity of the individuals now at the head of affairs. On this blind and stupid supposition they do nothing but attack and villify Lord MELBOURNE and Lord Joi./ RUSSELL, the Marquis of NORMANBY, &c. For us, one of the worst and most unpleasant signs of the timers to see the great mass of our "best public instructors" engaged in this personal war, and never rising beyond the dead level of party conflicts. The slightest tincture of political philosophy might spare the public much scurrility, and save it, we believe, from some disas ters. What probability is there, if Sir ROBERT PEEL were to come into office to-morrow, that his Government would be stronger than that of the Whigs ? He may be indi vidually a cleverer man than Lord JOHN Rus- SELL. Nobody has ever denied him a greater acquaintance with the mode of managing the House of Commons, and with the routine of office ; but how would he be enabled to govern the country ? What accession of strength has he gained since 1835 ? If the clergy, somewhat shy by his previous conduct, now zealously support him ; if the ultra-Orangemen who formerly regarded him as an apostate, see the necessity of rallying under his banner; if the counties of England, frightened at they know not what, have-imereased his Parlia mentary strength a little, still, if he were to come in to-morrow, and were the day after to go to a new election, there would be against him a most formida ble minority in the House of Commons. How can he gove rn Ireland, pacify the Dissenters, stifle the cry for the repeal of the Corn-laws, silence the de mand for Church Reform, put down the Chartists, or make the public at large contented with the pre sent anomalous condition of the representation ? He may augment the army, but an increase of ex pense would augment the popular discontent, and make his task more difficult. He might have had some chance if he could have remained with the Moderates, but his position has forced him to fall back on the Ultras, to make common cause with the High Churchmen, with the Ultra-Tories, with the Orangemen, with the Corn-law plunderers ; and so he has become in this divided com munity the mere head of an Ultra faction ; he can have now more power than such a chief. But such power, now when all political associations and connections are broken up, when prescrip - ion has been generally set aside, when no political opinions are well formed and defined, and when the whole community is split into fragments of parties, cannot be great, and consequently, if Sir R. PEEL were Prime Minister to-morrow, he would find his Government as weak, if not weaker, than that of Lord MELBOURNE. H e would have no more power over the multitude than Mr. VAN BUREN has over the Sympathisers. Now our Tory Contemporaries would spare the public a great deal of unnecessary abuse of one set of statesmen, and praise of others, if they were not so anxious to break up the existing Go vernment on the notion that the Tory Ministers would be powerful as well as skilful. The general principle we have pointed out forbids any such hope, and let the Tory Ministers come into office when they may, they will find themselves no more power ful than they were in 1835. Our Contemporaries labour most zealously to turn out the Whigs ; they work in their appointed vocation, and without knowing it, are the blind instruments of the pro gress of Liberalism. Every blow they strike at the existing Government weakens it without strength ening the coming Tory Ministry, and hastens the approximation of our Government to that of the United States. So be it. The House of Commons did not assemble last night in sufficient force to transact business. The SPEAKER, it was remarked, had no great inclination to wait till Members came in. He was very prompt at counting, and very punctual in deciding. Neither Tories nor Whigs were plentiful. Both are wholly absorbed by the great question which is to be discussed on the 11th, and cannot think of meaner things than the fight for the Government. Some of their shyness was probably owing to the fact that Sir CHARLES GREY had a motion standing for last night, which might have brought, most inconveniently, the Boundary question be tween England and the States prematurely under discussion. But the main cause of the Mem bers staying away was, we believe, their aversion to transact any business while their minds are occu pied with the interesting question of who is to have office. Those who have watched the progress of legislation, and have marked that every month and every Session brings its own task, while, year after year, the arrears of legislation have gone on accu mulating worse than the business of Chancery, are quite sensible that the Legislature has no time to waste on merely personal ques tions.. Whether Lord RODEN or Lord JOHN RUSSELL be the most blameable for his motion, we know not, but the conflict in which the parties rfe-ear - 44 frital ) LONDON : ~_ WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27, 1839 . 1 ill 1 l ist 1,,,•-,ords were to have -61— adjourned for the . holi . d e a e y n s visoo 4.;„et,obfuct e in nam co o n n s: o f there not having b consequence o ue h n e c a e r the Royal Assent given Lottlrde tills their Lordships are to meet again to-day. t ° th, ,8401juitam, in moving for some returns relative. t -,o'unadian prisoners complained that those per tne ll 4 1 ° Were guilty only of political offences, and Nai ls - ;Pod birth and station, were treated were like 411 d h i , hey are obliged to wear the prison dress ., __ Wayrne'''/e their hair cut short, and associate with hi b h ter est ,rl.

By the latest arrivals TIRE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27, 1839. are plunging the Legislature will not increase its power or its usefulness. Already much business has been postponed which ought to have been for warded ; and every crisis like that in which it is at present involved does but augment its difficulties, and increase . the discredit into which it is falling. The nation, however, will not suffer its best in terests to be sacrificed to party disputes ; and if politicians cannot accommodate their differences and work together for the public good, the nation will know how to dispense with their services. France survives without a Ministry, and England might on an emergency do without either Whigs or Tories. It cannot be denied that, whether we look at the state of affairs abroad or at home, this country is in a more critical and embarrassed situation at the present moment than it has been at any period since the general peace. The French Journalists, who in general are disposed to take rather a gloomy than a favourable view of our position, have, there fore, some grounds for their present forbodings, when they assert, that putting aside the dread of intestine convulsions, the British Empire (or, as they express themselves, and not without truth, the empire of British aristocracy,) never was more seriously menaced from different quarters of the Globe—from the Baltic to the Dardanelles, and from the banks of the Ganges and Indus to the banks of the St. Lawrence, and they might have added to the shores of Mexico and South America. Great mys tery as vet hangs over the aspect of British interests in the East, but what is known affords little hope that security or peace can be restored there, unless at the expense of a severe contest with a variety of native powers, urged on by their jealousy of England and the machinations of Russia. The latter power is at work too in another quarter nearer home, and by her agents urging on the GRAND SEIGNOR and the Paella of EGYPT, to arm and tear each other in pieces, in order that she may come in for a share of the spoils. Can it be said that she has not also had some hand in alienating the Govern ment of Louis P►iILIPPE from a country with which, to her dismay, he was at one period so closely united ? At all events, it cannot be doubted for a moment, to which of the two Powers he would give the preference. The affairs of Canada, our unsettled relations with the United States, the discontent existing among a large pro portion of the represented as well as the unre presented portion of our population, and the present critical position of the Government, are all suffi ciently perplexing. These mischiefs are laid by Tories at the door of what they call a " shabby, incapable Ministry ;" yet, with perhaps one exception, the accusers are alone to blame. j Who for thirty years left the American boundary line unsettled—who separated the two Canadas— who allowed the Russians to pass the Balkan, and dictate harsh terms to Turkey—who have been cheering on Don CARLOS, and backing up that very policy of Louis PHILIPPE which drives him into the arms of Russia—and who but the Tories, by their perversion of the best pro visions of the Reform Bill, have excited against it, and against the present Parliament, such a feeling of disappointment and disgust ? Great, however, as their difficulties appear, the vast resources of this country, and the power and loyal feelings of the people, if discreetly and firm directed, may soon overcome them. The Whin Government has now to undergo a severe trial. Their enemies have long denounced them as unfit for a great crisis, and in scorn of their pretension to conduct affairs in war, refer to the deeds of •' all the Talents" in Turkey and Egypt. The present race have now to show whether these imputations are just, or whe ther, by a wise, firm, and vigorous policy, they are the inventions and calumnies of their political ene , mies. The Provincial Parliament of Upper Canada was opened by Sir GEORGE ARTIIIR, Lieutenant- Governor, on the 27th ult. The speech of his Excellency, though unusually long, is little more than a summary of the history of the Colony since the breaking out of the rebellion, conceived in lan guage more moderate than we were prepared to ex pect from the well-known character of the Lieut.- Governor. He attributes the recent disturbances in the Colony to the plundering designs of the Sym pathisers ; recommends the formation of a strong militia force as necessary to check future aggres sions ; suggests the expediency of establishing a general system of education ; and concludes with an assurance that the costs of the rebellion will press heavily upon the colonial exchequer. The only paragraph in the speech of interest to our readers is what relates to the Church lands ques tion, which we quote entire : " The strongly-excited feelings to which the long-agi tated question of the clergy reserves has given rise in the province have sensibly impaired that social harmony which may be classed among the first of national blessings, and have augmented the hopes of the enemies of the country, in proportion as they have created divisions among its defenders. It is painful to reflect that a provision, piously and munificently set apart for the maintenance of religious worship, should have become the cause of discord among professors of the same faith, and ser vants of the same Divine Master; and I feel that on every account the settlement of this vitally important ques tion ought not to be longer delayed. I therefore ear nestly exhort you to consider how this desirable object may be attained; and I confidently hope that if the claims of contending parties be advanced, as I trust they will, in a spirit of moderation and Christian charity, the adjustment of them by you will not prove insuperably diffi cult. But should all your efforts for the purpose unhappily fail, it will then only remain for you to reinvest these re serves in the hands of the Crown, and to refer the ap propriation of them to the Imperial Parliament, as a tri bunal free from those local influences and excitements which may operate too powerfully here. My ardent desire is, that keeping in view as closely as you can the true spirit of the object for which these lands were originally set apart, this embarrassing question may be settled on equitable principles, in a manner satisfactory to the community at large, and conducive to the diffusion of religion and true piety throughout the province." Whatever answer the Colonial Legislature may make to this Speech of the Governor, we repeat that it is not wanting in moderation, and that it is well calculated to allay excitement, and to inspire confidence in the future administration of the Exe cutive. The advices received from Constantinople of the Bth instant, intimate that the Porte is making pre parations for attacking the PACHA of EGYPT early in the Spring. To this measure the Minis ters of the SULTAN were urging his Highness, at the suggestion of individuals acting as the secret agents of the Courts of Berlin and St. Petersburgh. The accounts from Persia are of the Bth ult. The SHAH was then busy making extraordinary prepa rations for war. It was believed that his first cam paign would be against the English troops establish ing themselves on the Persian Gulf. The Moniteur of Monday, which we have re ceived along with the other Paris Papers of the same date, publishes a Royal Ordinance for the prorogation of the Chambers to the 4th of April. To this perilous measure was the KING driven in consequence of his refusal to form a Cabinet repre senting the principles of a, majority of the electoral and elected bodies. Even this was not accomplished without extreme mortification. Count MOLE ab solutely refused to countersign the Ordinance for the prorogation, as did the whole of the ex-Ministers, with the pitiful exception of that political abortion Count MONTALIVET— so that his Majesty was on the brink of being com pelled to prorogue the Chambers in person, and on his own individual responsibility. To this deplora ble pitch was the KING brouz'ot, after a series of humiliation s , suc h as rarely f4ver befalConstitutional Sovereigns, an d which we greatly fear are but pre ludes to scenes wh;.ch, will startle Europe. In the course of: Monday, the KING, alarmed at his own position,, 'held separate consultations with Sou LT—with DUPI umA Nx—with G UI ZOT, and with DE B ROGLIE , to eac h an d a ll of whom he offered the seals, and met from all with a positive refusal to accept office. SouLTdeclaredthat under no circumstances would he ever again under take the formation of a Cabinet ; and DE BROGLIE frankly assured his Majesty that without TRIERS, all was lost. To add to the difficulties of the KING and the confusion out of doors, the Journal des Debuts, in the name of the late Ministry, de clares its resignation to be irrevocable, and that not another step will it take. The countersigning of the Royal Ordinance for the prorogation was the last official act of any of its members. All is terror and dismay in Paris. It is now not only known, but felt, that France is without a Go vernment. Stocks have gone down ; trade is at a stand ; and to guard against the popular commo tions apprehended yesterday, the KING gave secret orders on Sunday for putting the barricades in a state of readiness for military ope rations. "We are assured," writes the Journal du Commerce, " that several pieces of cannon have been stationed in the barracks in the environs of Paris. Six pieces of artillery with their trains have been conducted into the bar racks of Cour-bevoie." These preparations suffi ciently indicate the fears prevalent in the palace. Such are the returns made by the KING for the national confidence that placed him on the throne. Need we feel surprised to learn that after eight years of patient endurance of such multiplied wrongs— that after seeing herself defrauded of the rich fruits of her glorious revolution, by an intriguing Despot, who unites in his character the cunning of a petti fogging lawyer with:the avarice of a Jew—France, betrayed, disgusted, maddened, should only recog nize in Louis PHILIPPE the worst branch of a dynasty ever fatal to the liberties of the French people ? We are assured that the patience of the nationis well nigh exhausted, and we can readily give credence to it. LOUIS PHILIPPE has had a long and a fair trial, and whatever be his fate, we shall, as far as in us lies, do justice to the great forbear ance, the love of order, the respect for the laws, and the attachment to constitutional forms dis played by the people of France, in the support of a Government which neither inspired confidence, nor commanded respect. Nor must we omit to do justice to the firmness of the leaders of the Coalition throughout a struggle which has terminated in leaving theK ING in a situa tion as perilous as it is disgraceful. We never thought so highly of TRIERS and SOULT as we do at this moment. They have nobly redeemed the pledges made by them to their country. While they were ready to concede to the views of a majo rity of the Chamber, they were resolute in opposing every sacrifice of principle demanded by the KING. In the integrity of such men France has guaran tees for the speedy triumph of order, should she be driven to contemplate the expediency of sending the male branches of the House of Orleans to fraternise with their illustrious relatives at Goritz. Seriously speaking we do apprehend much mischief from the anomalous state of affairs in France. At this mo ment another revolution is not only possible but extremely probable. Another false step, and there is an end of the ORLEANS dynasty. BAYONNE, Mkßcif 20.—The accounts from Tolosa are of the 16th. It had been reported that the sth battalion of Navarre refused to obey the orders of Maroto. This news is erroneous. By order of the General four com panies of this battalion have marched from Vera to Eli sondo : the other companies do duty on the line of Vera. The Gazette de France was seized yesterday at the Post-office. The Madrid mails of the 15th, 16th, and 17th have been received to-day. The communication had been inter rupted by a body of the factious, which had retreated towards Carinena, in order to avoid the pursuit of General Ayerbe. Rodil does not accept the command in Catalonia, which post will be given to General Lahera. Cordova is still at Badajoz. Count Campazano is going to Saxony. It is reported that Cabrera has arrested Forcadell, who is the Chief of the Moderate party. The Diario Mercantil of Valencia says—" We know positively that the Neapolitan, Sardinian, and Roman Governments are resolved to afford the most effectual sup port to the Carlists. Several Consuls-General of those Governments on the coast of the Mediterranean have re ceived precise instructions on this subject. The line of the East is especially recommended to the Neapolitan Consul, that of the West to the Sardinian Consul. These Consuls communicate with each other by all the interme diate points between Spain and the coast of Barbary nearest to the Peninsula. In 1836 the famous Ponte, Sardinian Consul at Barcelona, was implicated in a con soiracy ; he was arrested, and sent away by the Govern ment. His Sovereign, in order to reward him, has ap pointed him Consul-General at. Tangier, whence he may participate without obstacle in the events at Albucena, Melilla, and Ceuta .. A proof of the considerable assis tance hich the Carlists receive from these Governments is the , great quantity of their coin which circulates among the Carlists. It is of importance that the public should be informed.of these intrigues.—Le Constitutionnel. STUTTGARD, MAften 18.—To the four persons con demned for political offences, and pardoned by our King, of whom I lately wrote, I have to add a fifth, viz., Mr. liauff. mann, formerly a preceptor, a native of Ludaigsbure. It seems that only three are excluded from a complete am nesty, who have refused to petition for his Majesty's cle mency. The Government will shortly publish the whole history of the investigation of this conspiracy, according to the documents, in order to prove to the public, both at home and abroad, that this conspiracy did not consist in words only, or vas merely committed to paper, but did really and truly exist, FRANKFORT, MAlicn 16.—The Hardenberg prisoners who emigrated to North America, arrived safe at New York, on the 25th of January this year, after a three months' voyage. The Armoricain of Brest states, that all the men of the class of 1837 liable to serve in the crews of vessels of the line in that maritime arrondissement have been called into active service. We announced the other day a similar measure as having been adopted in the maritime arron dissement of Bordeaux; and we believe that the order is general. The Toulon correspondent of the Con stiNtionnel writes, on the 19th instam, that the Duke of Orleans had ac quainted the Governor of Algiers with his positive inten tion to proceed to Africa in the spring to take part in the expedition of the Biban ( Iron Gates), to be commanded by Marshal Vallee. A Swiss correspondent of the Quotidienne states that the survivors of the brethren at the Mont St. Bernard are recovering, and that hopes of their complete restoration are entertained. The physicians have declared that the complaint has every symptom of typhus fever, and is very similar to the putrid fever which some Neapolitan soldiers brought into the canton of the Valais in 1814, and with which they infected the old hospice at Stockalper, on the Simplon. One of the features of the present lever at St. Bernard is long attacks of delirium, with occasional lucid intervals, In the village of St. Pierre there are 12 sick, at Liddes 6, at Osieres and Sembrancher the number is less, and at Martigny and on the plain there have been no cases, although the people from Aosto, who first propa gated the disease, alarmed by the death ho of one of their number, have dispersed themselves throughout the Lower Valais. BOURSE.-Paars, MoNeal - , Manse 25. HALF-PAST THREE.-Bourse reports arc the least to be relied on; and whatever may be the opinion of speculators on the proro gation of the Chambers, in consequence of the difficulty which has continued to exist to the formation of a new Ministry, much busi ness has been done. The French Funds had, at one time, taken a great start. For the account The Three per Cents. opened at 79C. 80c., rose to SOf., being 15c. higher than the closing price of Saturday, but then receded to 701. 85c., closing price- The Five per Cents., from 10Sf. 85c., advanced to 1091 20c., and they close at 109 f. 5c., an improvement of 20e.

The Eternal City has never been known to be so full of foreigners as it is at the present moment ; from all sides persons al c crowding in to witness the ceremonies of the Holy week, which it is thought will be particularly splendid this Easter. Several of our countrymen have been within the last few deys presented to the Pope ; they were intro duced by the Hanoverian Minister, and they met with a most affable reception from his Holiness; the following arc some of the persons who were presented:—Lords Shrewsbury, Newry, and Fitzgerald; Sirs Jeremiah Dixon, Arthur Brooke, and John Millman ; Honourable F. Browne ; Messrs. Villiers Stuart, G. J. Weld, Ornett, Ouseley, Higgins, E. Stanley, and H. Colville; Colonels Drake and Everard ; Captains Harper, Shard, Barnwell, Bernard, &c. Many English families will remain here for the canoni zation of the five saints, which is to take place in the middle of May ; the preparations for the canonization have been going on for the last month in St. Peter's. The expense which this ceremony will cost is computed at 45,0001. sterling. Poor Sir Herbert Taylor died last night; about a fort night since he was much improved in health, but a relapse took place some days since which has proved fatal. GREECE. ATHENS, FEB. 2.—The Acheron English Government steamer arrived here on the 26th inst., conveying from Malta many travellers of high rank. The Duke of De vonshire and his suite have entirely occupied one hotel, and the Earl and Countess of Carnarvon and family another, so that many passengers have been obliged to remain on board, from the impossibility of obtaining accommodation at the hotels. Captain Walker and other English naval offi cers are on board the Acheron, on their way to Constanti nople, where they have been solicited to enter the service of the Porte. Owing to the main shaft of one of the en gines having broken just as the Acheron arrived here, she will be detained some ftw days to repair it.. A very discontented feeling still continues to exist against the acts of the Bavarian rulers of this country, and at present they appear to take almost a pleasure in making all par ties, whether Greeks or foreigners, dissatisfied. General Gordon, who, it is well known, has devoted the best part of his life and a large portion of his immense fortune to the service of Greece, from the very commencement of the revolution in 1821, has just met with such marked indignity from King Otho, that he has resigned all his appointments in disgust, and will immediately depart for Scotland. _ _ _ . The General had been recommended by the Minister at War for the Cross of Grand Commander of the Ssu• veur, and his name included in a list presented to his Majesty on the occasion of the anniversary of his acces sion to the Throne, but, to the astonishment of every one, King Otho drew his pen through General Gor don's name, and substituted that of a known Russian ad herent. The General's resignation was accepted, and the situation of Commander-in-Chief of the troops in the Peloponnesus abolished altogether. The Grand Cross of the Order was, however, afterwards sent to Thomas Gordon, Esq., but unless proper explanations are given it can hardly be expected that he will retain it. It is re ported here that the British Government has demanded a constitution for Greece, in consequence of having been a party to the proclamation which guaranteed it. It is also very generally stated that the English Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs has declared, that, if the money due to England is not paid, means will ere long be taken to compel a just settlement thereof. It really does ap pear as if a fatality existed against this beautiful coun try ever remaining free from political strife, or ever ob taining such a Government as will enact and enforce wise and good laws, and thus permit the vast resources of Greece to be fully developed, and make her people happy and contented. SIIIYRNA. --- (From the Smyrna Journal of the 6th and 9th inst.) The last advices from Alexandria (dated the 26th ult.) stated that the Viceroy of Egypt was returning in all haste to Cairo, where he was daily expoctcd. This determina tion was ascribed to the discontent expressed by the Con sul of England at the intentional absence of Mehemet Ali, at the very time fixed for carrying the treaty of com merce into execution. The activity with which the English were extending their domination, and forming establishments along the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea, gave rise to many conjec tures in Alexandria. It was inferred, from their having lately occupied the Bay of 0 wakit, that their object was to monopolize the +rade of Abyssinia. The capture of Aden had, moreover, suggested a belief amongst the Arabs, that England entertained ambitious views upon Egypt itself. The intelligence from Constantinople conveyed by the Smyrna Journal comes down to the Bth. The Sultan, who had been slightly indisposed with a cold, was then entirely recovered, and able to attend to public affairs. The reports of changes in the Administration, which bad been in circulation during some weeks, had entirely sub sided, and it was generally believed that Redschid Pacha, the extraordinary Ambassador in London, would not be re called so soon as had been announced. The fleet was fit ting out, and would soon be ready to resume its usual sum mer anchorage in the Bosphorus. Several vessels had even already taken their station before Besiktash during the feasts of the Courban Bairam. The intention of the Government to intrust the com mand of several vessels of the fleet to English officers was the occasion of many conjectures in the saloons of Pera. According to the last accounts from Persia, the Schah was shortly expected in Tabriz, where he contemplated to levy an army corps, with the view, it was believed, of pu nishing the Pasha of Bagdad for acts of hostility which the latter committed last year against the inhabitants of a town and harbour situate on the Shat. ul- Arab, opposite to Bassorab. .MONEY and , COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, - 7'WELVE O'CLOCK. LIVERPOOL CorroNMAIIKET OF TUESDAY.-The de mand for Cotton to-day has been to a fair extent ; the sales were 5,000 bags, without change in prices. It is reported that intelligence has been received from Washington, stating that the President declines sending a Special Minister to England, but that dispatches will be sent by the Liverpool, instructing Mr. Stevenson to settle the boundary question, as it is understood by the American Government, and if unsuccessful to return immediately. Two important events are at present on the tapis—the formation of a new Ministry in France ; secondly, the affair of the Maine question. Both of them, to the present time, has not had tiny effect on the British market.

Prince Charles Philip Ernest of ,Hohenlohe- Langenburg has died at Gratz. The Duke of Wellington left Apsley House on Friday last, for Strathfieldsaye ; on the same day the wag gon with the plate, tic., left for the same destination. The cooks and other leading domestics have since departed. It is supposed that his Grace will see company during the holidays. The Duke and Duchess of Bedford intend leav ing Woburn Abbey on the 15th of April, for Campden Hill, Kensington, where their Graces intend to remain only a few days, and then proceed to their seat in Devonshire for a month. Early in June they will return to Kensington to see company. We hear that several public breakfasts will be given, and, in July, a ball. Earl and Countess Craven are entertaining a nu merous circle at Coombe Abbey, near Coventry. The family will come to town for the season the second week in April. The Countess de l‘larbceuf, widow of Count de Marbceuf, the Governor of Corsica, who was Napoleon's first patron, died at Paris last week. The Earl and Countess of Sandwich purpose receiving a distinguished party at Hinchinbrooke during the recess. ALMACK'S.—The first of these brilliant re unions of the beau monde is fixed for Wednesday, the 17th of the ensuing month. The expense incurred by Messrs.

A Mr. Wallis has taken the Queen's Theatre, Tottenham-court-road, and will open it to the public on Easter Monday. The house has been thoroughly repaired and beautified. A new opera, Le Lac des Fees, by Auber, is to be produced at the Academic Royale, of Paris, in the be ginning of April. It is singular enough that a Joint-stock Trading Company with India should be projected, so soon after the East India Company itself has been compelled to abandon all its trading privileges.

Member I was speaking the other evening of the various experiments which had been made for lighting the House, and express e d his regret that the adoption of gas had not taken place. " The objection to that was the heavy expense," says anotherjHon. Member. " The advantage of candles, then," said the first Hon. Member, " is, that cost what they may, you consider them a light expense." DUELLING IN BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, MARCH 23 —We have mentioned the duel between the War Minister's brother and the son of M. Pi rson , o f t h e Chamber of Representatives. We have since heard of a fatal duel between two captains of the army, one of whom has fallen, and the other is dying. To-day another en counter has taken place between M. De Brouckere and Colonel Bire, the former of whom has received a sword wound in his side. EVENING EDITION. f..._ ....7 - -. THE CORN-LAW DEBATES. •`/ N i,-- LD - el Being convinced that the discussion of the Corn t7"' : Eivt .4 ., , ; ; .`.' laws must he resumed again and again till they b r: ..i: .. % ,?-4,W-Ity. ..,( repealed, we purpose to devote a portion of our spac ~.i?ic. , • , ..i•c.„, :A ,Vi - r , during the approaching recess to an examination of the .i.;i7, :'. ? ,,C7;:- ; ,,,,-- - " - C I .- 4 - / _\ arguments which were urged during the late debate. `.... '.. , ,...L.:....--"="" .... The question at issne was whether the law passed 11 . 4.1 Ni t t ti 44:Pil 1 4 1 in 1828 has been beneficial to the country. It say that on foreign corn imported into this country a duty shall be paid varying as the price between 785., when a duty of ls. is to be paid, and 625., when a duty of 1/. 4s. Bd. is to be paid, which is tobrerease ls. for every shilling the price fails below 625., so that if the price fall to 50s. the duty will be 1/. 16s. Bd. The advantages or disadvantages of that law was the simple and single question at issue ; and all other matters were extraneous and irrelevant. They might be very amusing, like Lord John Rus sell's previous opi nion and Sir Robert Peel's reitc. , rated jokes about the painter, but on subjects of such a serious nature they ought to have been left out. It is, we think, somewhat singular that those who adhered to the law refused to inquire into its effects. It was passed in 1828, or only ten years and a half ago. Prior to its enactment another law of a different nature, and somewhat different provi sions, was in existence, and that was abrogated by common consent, because it had not answered the purpose it was intended to answer. Such a cir cumstance is a prima facie argument why the effects of the present law should be inquired into. There have also been numerous complaints of agri cultural distresssince it was enacted,and Committees have inquired into that, but none of them have in quired distinctly and unequivocally into the effects of the law. To us the existence of that distress and th.:. one-sided inquiries of these Committees, seems addi tional reasons why a rigid investigation should be instituted into the effects of the law itself. Moreover, before it was enacted, almost every conceivable species of Corn-laws had been tried and given up because they were injurious. We have had tAal pro hibition, prohibition up t) a certain point of price, and then the admission of corn at no duty or at low duty. We have had a fixed duty both higi, and low—we have had bounties, and we have Ld varying scales of duties, not one of which has been found to answer. The new law has no antiquity to recommend it ; some of the men who made it are yet in existence; the laws they had previously made were failures ; there has been much distress under their new law ; the interests it embraces are vast—perhaps so vast that the human mind cannot take them all in ; numerous complaints were made of its effects, many of which were obviously unfor seen ; great misfortunes were predicted to come of it ; great discontent has been caused by it ; all which circumstances made it imperative on the Legisla ture to inquire into the effects of its own enactment. The Legislature positively refused—the House of Lords unanimously, the House of Commons by an evcrwhelming majority. Earl Fitzwilliam's motio called on the Lords to pronounce an opinion or the effect of the Act ; and that their Lordships bi their vote denied. Mr. Villiers' motions were both for inquiry, the second had that for its object almost as much as the first, and both,with Lord Brougham' , motion were rejected. We have therefore to consi der the arguments as they bear primarily on the refusal to inquire, and secondarily as they hear c.) the effect of the law. The effects of this law should now be known and palpable. There should be nothing fanciful about them. Its benefits or its evils should be clear and tangible. Every law is of itself, abstractedly consi dered, an acknowledged evil. It trenches on some rights—it interferes with some liberties—it gives some men power over others ; and to counterbalance these, the inherent properties of all laws, some con siderable benefit should be demonstrated, as its un doubted offspring. It is not enough to say of a law, that besides its own inherent vices it produces no other evils ; it ought also to be shown that it produces great benefits. The onus of proof, there fore, lies, not on those who demand the repeal of the law, though they were ready with that, but on those who maintain the law. They did not offer to supply any proof, and they resisted the produc tion of the evidence tendered by those who offered to prove that the law was productive of great and manifold evils. We have, in this Journal, admitted the validity of one of the grounds on which the House of Commons refused to inquire. Lord Howick showed that it was incompetent to conduct such an inquiry to a good end. He justly ridiculed its empty benches, its sleepy Chairman, its fire of cross questions and cross speeches, its contentions with witnesses, and the contentions of its Members; and having seen a great deal of the House of Commons, we were constrained to ad mit that Lord Howick was right. But this ad mission forces us to ask whether the assembly which is incompetent to inquire into the effects of one of its own most important laws, be competent to make such a law ? Legally it is, morally it is not. Has it some peculiar means of gathering in formation, before a law be passed, of wile,. will be its effects, which it loses the instant the law is enacted ? Is it like a Highland seer, blind to the present, for getful of the past, and clear-seeing only as to that future which has not yet come into existence ? W e give it credit for no such prophetic sagacity ; we believe that it is at all times much more ignorant of what will be the effects of any law before it be enacted, than it is of the actual effects of the law after it has been enacted. If, therefore, inquiry be necessary before making a law—if the House of Commons be incompetent to inquire into the effects of an existing law—and if it have no prophetic power, it must be morally inefficient to make laws. There arises, therefore, from the ground laid down toresist inquiry, a strong printaficie reason to doubt the benefit of a law made by such an assembly, and a strong additional argument for the necessity of ascertaining the effects of such an extensive and important law as one interfering with the subsist ence of the nation, made by such a morally in competent assembly. It refused to inquire ; and has by the refusal strengthened the conviction that it is an incompetent Legislature. The voice of suspicion resounds in fact through the land, and men almost universally demand other law makers. We did not see in the whole debate a single other argument against inquiry which we consider worthy of the least notice. That, it would take up the time of the Legislature, that it was useless because men's minds were made up, are merely insulting arguments, for they imply that the Legislature has time to act the tyrant, but not time to redress the grievances it inflicts ; and that the lofty intellect of our lawgivers is far above the reach of any information which the ordinary run of human beings, who feel and suffer the penalties of laws, can supply. When the English were pe rishing in the fatal black-hole of Calcutta, they supplicated the sentinel to convey information of their conditition to the Nabob. The lofty answer was, " The Nabob sleeps—what slave dare disturb his repose." The English perished. So, as the nation is perishing, the lofty answer returned to our com plaint by the Houses of Commons and Lords is- 7 " Slaves we are occupied, disturb us not." W e believe that their arguments in favour of the laws, like their arguments against inquiry , prop erl y read, amount to little more than " Slaves we are wel l t c l o w n i v ig en h ie y n o c u y• smallest off; and interferedperish submit them to a close examination. otwheavesslrl THE YEOMANRY• The following Circular has been issueL Secretary of State for the Home Department : (cr RCUL A R.) . 4 Whitehall, March 14, 1539.
