4,ington, in the County of Derby, against the Poor Removal ' eta—Ordered to lie on the Table, and to be printed. Sit E. HARVEY presented a similar Petition from the i'larish of Westham, in the County of Essex.—Ordered to lie Goa the Table, and to be printed. SALT TAX. Mr. H. BRIGHT presented a Petition front certain Mer chants and others in the neighbourhood of Bristol, praying for a total repeal of the Duty on Salt. The Hoishurable Gentleman chewed that the 2s. proposed to be left would operate severely on the fisheiles. They would have to pay not less than 150,001. aeresally, and would the House suffer an interest so important as that of the fisheries to he thus taxed ? The colonies now so much distressed would also suffer from the duty in question, as it would cause an additional six. shillings to be charged on exery barrel of fish sent out, the cost price of which was at pess.snt sas. Mr. URENFELL expressed a hope that this subject - would receive the serious consideration of his Majesty's Go vernment. The Petition was ordered to he on the table.. Mr. DODSON presented a Petition from certain Owners and Occupiers of Land in the eastern part of Sussex, on the sub jest of Agricultural Distress. WELCH JUDICATURE. Mr. JONES moved for leave to bring in a Bill to enlarge anal extend the powers of Judges'at the Courts of Session in Wales, and to amend the laws relative to the same. He would not now go into the subject. The Bill was framed with a view of correcting the evils complained of in the Report of the Com mittees which had been laid before the House. He proposed te bring in the Bill, that it might be read a first and second limo and be printed, and then stand over till next Session that the tubiect might receive the fullest consideration. .Mr. IARHA3I did not oppose the bringing in of this Bill, Its: thought it right to remark on the conduct of the Hon. Gen tlemen opposite, who had counted .the House out on a former ethssien, to get rid of a plan brought forward by another Hon. esseiniser, in order to make way for his own. lir. Secretary PEEL begged to remind the Hon Member, that on the occasion alluded to, a difference had arisen on a motion made by the Hon. Member for Durham for adjourning the debate to that day fortnight. That motion was opposed. of the House had divided, the result must have been an ad josh; nment ; and it was in this state of things that the attention If the SPeaker had been called to the state of the House. Mr. DENMAN said, the question on which a difference had arisen, was not as to adjourning the debate to any particti lar day, for the Hon. Member for Durham had not confined him Self to the proposing that day fortnight, but had ofibred, to naree any other day that might better suit the c onvenience of the Hon Se. The objection was .to the appointment of a Committee to which the Resolutions of his Honourable lziend and the whole subject might be referred. .The pre sent Bill supplied a remedy to cure trivial evils, but did no: meet any of the great objections which had been urged against the present system of Welch Judicature. He thought it would he better that the subject should go off altogether till next Ses sion than that such a measure should be adopted. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL remarked, the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had said this Bill only corrected trivial errere, but did not meet the main objections urged against the present system. He (Mr. Denman) would excuse him when he said it appeared to him that this opinion would have been as Wsil reserved till the Bill had been printed and was open to his (Mr. Denman's inspection. This Bill went to correct the evils complained of, though not to alter the whole system of Welch Judicature. It was proposed that the Bill,when printed, -should stand over till next Session, when the Hon. Member for Pembroke might, if he pleased, bring forward his Resolutions i.yhin, the question being kept in the mean time precisely as it stood at present. Mr. DES-LNIAN said he had collected the contents cf the Bill from what had been stated by the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. h ones). Mr. JONES remarked his memory failed him, or he had never stated what his Bill would contain. He was not con- SCIOUS that he had acted improperly by the llcuse, or been de ficient in courtesy to any one. After a few words from Mr. DEN mAN and Mr. BRO GRA :+l, leave wag given to bring in the Bill. ENROLNENT OF ANNUITIES. . . The ATTORNEY-GENERAL obtained leave to bring in a Bill to explain the Act of the 53d of the late King respecting -the Enrolment of Memorials foe Grants of Annuities. ROYAL BURGHS ACCOUNT BILL. After a short conversation between the Lon") ADVOCATE of •5c.0 . ri,..0.1D and Lord A. HAMILTON, the further considera lion of the report of the Royal Burghs Accounts Bill wai post poned till Monday the 17th of June. NAVAL AND MILITARY PENSIONS. Sir C. LONG moved that the consideration of the .report of -the Committee on the plan for paying the Naval and Military Fersions should be postponed till to-morrow. ;qr. HUME moved that it should be postponed till Monday. Mr. BROUGHAM thought it ought to be postponed till 2;:endav, - Sir C. LONG considered there had been an understanding in the House, that the Report should be taken to-morrow, and st.:th being the known intention of Ministers, it would be tak ity, a most unusual course to put it off. He hoped it would be ai,owed to stand for to-morrow. His Right. Hon. Friend, sk.c.ruid postponement be desirable, would, he was confident, yit:d to the wishes of the Hon. Gentleman opposite. After a few words from Mr. P. Grenfell, Sir J. Newport, :Kr. Ricardo, and Mr. Brougham, Mr. Hume consented to withdraw his motion, and the Report was ordered to be brought ur to-morrow. The Scottish Entail's Bill was-read a second time, and or dered to be committed to-morrow. The Sheriff' Depute's Bill went through a Committee, th Report of which was ordered to be received to-morrow. Mr. JONES brought in a Bill to enlarge and extend the .powtr.-1 of the Welsh Judges. Read a first, and ordered to read a second time on Thursday next, and the Bill to be printed. other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the adjourned at Half-past Seven, CITY, THURSDAY EVENING consols operte , i this morning at 801, advanced to 801, and :nosed. at 80i. They were very little attended to, as the new Loans were more attractive. The new Russian Contract is for 2;1 millions of silver roubles, or equal to 3i millions sterling; the interest is 5 per cant., - payable, at the option of the holder, either at St. Petersburgh or in London, half-yearly. A Sinking Fund of one per cent. taken from the Loan itself, is in some future period to liquid ate tha debt, and all the usual benefits of borrowing money must no doubt attend this transaction. Yesterday it was othared at 77, this morning it opened at 78, and the Agents for the Contra.e.tora offered it early, in printed circulars, at 81 ; but the .phblie entertained a far higher opinion of it. An iM 27.1CriJ2 deal of busineSs waa done in it, and it advanced at one tixn to 65 ; aftcrwards it fell to 84i, and closed at 8:1A. The grzczal opinion was, that the Contractors would dot have en tt.rd en this business withont• an assurance that no Turkish war was Immediately intended on the part of Russia.. There .are net a few who think that the money will be expended in execiAng the EMPEROR'S designs on Turkey. To dismiss a Russian army no money is necessary, for commonly no pay is due ; but it will be found at all events useful, if not ne .oattary, should his MAJESTY be pleased to keep his armies in the :kith—There is a report that a loan for Portugal, and also .Coe for Austria, will soon be made public.—Letters have been received Irons Trieste of the 15th current, by which advices have been obtained from Scio, dated the 20th and 21st, and from. Smyrna of the 27th ult. It is impossible for the mind of man to fancy any thing mere atrocious than the information receiv-ad of the crualties comniittod on' the unfortunate Sciots. It fame a register of the blackest crimes. The Capitan Paths appears to have been a leader worthy of the miscreants whom Le commanded.

PARIS, M.!irir 28.--Our letters and papers from -•- Germany received yesterday are more than ever for war. We may consider these accounts as so much the more probable, as they are confirmed by the reports which for these two. days have been circulating in Paris, in consequence, it is said, of the arrival of special messengers direct from Vienna and St. Petersburgh. Some private letters have been received through this channel, of or.e of which the following is an extract. It is addressed to a former Diplomatist, who is per sonally known to us:— " Et. Peters3argh, May 7. " All uncertainty respecting peace or war has ceased; the brtther of the Emperor, the Generals, and the equipages, set out from hence three days since. The affairs of the East, which were before very circumspectly alluded to, are now freely talked cf. Orders to advance were sent off on the 3d to the army. The Russians are intoxicated, and have no doubt of their success ; they think even that the Turks will not at tempt to hold the principalities. lave embarked this morn ing cur friend P., who is employed as Physician in Chief of the corps of Sabanief : I shall take advantage of the first cou rier sent to the Embassy, and in the mean time I announce to you beyond a doubt the departure of the Emperor, which we expect every hour. The Emperor has remained for three days closeted with M. de Tatischeff, without a^•,y person being able to approach him."' To the details given in this letter, and which we - have every reason to believe, without how 07er being enabled to guarantee their authenti city, we may 'add that on Sunday evening, in a diplomatic salon of the capital, persons appearing to be well informed, announced that the Em peror .of Russia was to set out from St. Peters burgh the 9th of May ; that official intelligence of this had arrived at Paris in the course of the day ; that it was no longer passible to keep up any illusion, and that war would take place.— (Constitutionnel.) The Journal de Toulouse gives the fbnowing accounts from Catalonia • • " Barcelona,- 314 15. " The Courier from Madrid has arrived with a new pass port which had been given him by the Apostolic Junta deer vera ; the Courier says, that after a long combat the Militia were compelled to retire to Ignalada, having had several killed and wounded ' • amongst the former was the Captain who commanded them. He adds, that when he left that town,.the regiment of Asturias and a battalion of Ferdinand VII. nad arrived at Lerida, and that although an immense crowd came from all the surroundirT villages; these troops soon dispersed them. " :Vartarell,' May 13. ".You doubtless know of the insurrection of the villages o' Bruclf,'Esparragnera, Piesola, Olessa, Collbatci, &c., but you perhaps , do. not know that it is 40 ill-armed men who cause all these disturbances. _ " The whole kingdom of Valencia. enjoys the most perfect I tranquillity. The Commandant, General Porras, has informed 1, our political Chief that the troop of the monks of la Trappe has bti.m routed after three battles, having had 20 men killed, and a great number wounded. '1 Constitutionalists, it is said, had only five men wounded. " The village of Capellades, which was besieged for three days by 600 Insurgents, was delivered by the Constitutional troops, - .who routed the former. Five houses in this village were burnt by the'lnsurgents. ' The amnesty, published by General Porras, has much contributed to their discomfiture. " It appears that a column of Hoops has divided itself into small parties, in order the better to pursue the dispersed In surgents, and to occupy militarily the most important points in the mountains. " ;Visas had placed his people at Polla Muga, Pititce, Ta bacha, Pocapruna, Casa de Querol, Mora, and Campradon, and. from thence they marched for Mollo. The Commandant,: Gispert, having learned that they wsre Marching upon Ripoll; met them at the head of 110 men, but was obliged to re- , treat, during four hours, the Insurgents being 300 'in num ber. This Chief says, there were some killed'and wounded on both sides. It is said that the Insurgents had new French muskets." Letters from Naples state, that Prince Alvaro Ruff°, the Neapolitan Minister at Vienna; arrived at Naples on the sth May. It has already been said that his return is connected with the changes in the Administration at Naples. The Princess of Orange was delivered of a Prince on the 21 s t instant, at the Chateau of SoeLdyck. The village of Saint Michel (Seine et Oise) has presented a religious scene of great interest, the influence of which it were to be wished would extend every where, where the same good re mains to be done. Eleven marriages contracted civilly in the time of our disturbances, not hav ing received the sanction of the Church, the Duke de Maille, Mayor of the Commune, seconded by a worthy Pastor, induced the parties to put an end to this scandal, and the union of all of them 'vas solemnized on Sunday, according to the rights of the Church, to the satisfaction of the good inhabitants of Saint Michel. This cere mony, regarded by them as a true family fête, became doubly so by the presence of him to whose desire it was owing, and whose paternal administration they bless every day. MADRID, MAY 16.—f t is said here that several French Refugees are passing along the frontiers, endeavouring to debauch the French Regiments, which form the Sanitary Cordon. SMYRNA, A2RIT, 20.—1 t was the failure of pro visions that compelled the 'Turks to surrender Corinth to the Greeks. The capitulation granted to the Turks one-fonrth of their personal pro perty, except their arms, and the liberty of going to Natolia or Egypt, or of remaining in the Mo rea, in the latter case preserving also one-fourth of their possessions and real property. It is said that several have signified a wish to remain. Hitherto the capitulation has been faithfully ob served. Only 300 Greeks were allowed to enter the Castle, and a certain numher of Commis sioners to_ make au inventory. Of the three fourths remaining property, one-fourth will be given to the besiegers, and two-fourths placed in the national bank. ,Kiamil Bey 'and his son (Beys of Corinth), taken at Tripolizza, as well as several other Ayars of the Noma,' the Kiaga Bey of Chourschid Pacha, and the harem of ibis Pacha, are still in the hands of the Greeks, and living. The capture of Corinth has placed in the hands of the Greeks several millions belonging to Kiamil Bey ; they have been deposited in the national hank.—All eyes are .now turned to the Dardanelles. The Greeks expect to see the storm burst upon them, but they appear deter mined to make ht.ild against it. It has been de termined in the TV.rorea to send 3,000 men to 'l' rrnopylm,. OnEssA,MaY 3.—We have accounts from Con stantinople of the iflth of April. What we have -long since said is more acd: more confirmed, that no reliance cnti be placed on the negociations of the diplomatists at Constantinople. The final result will prcbably be a great catastrophe for the Turkish empre. Odysseus and Diamante so much menaceSalonica, that the report was cir-. culated at Constantinople that it had actually surrendered. There are disturbances in Arme nia, in Mesopotamia, and in Syria. In the latter province, the ?acha of St. Jean d'Acre, who has declared himself independent, has taken by force of arms a tribate of 800 purses which was go ing to the Porte, and hr, is preparing for the of fensive. On tL.e side of Persia, the Schah has arrived at Kenmanschah, and menaces Bagdad with a formidalle army. After the conquest of Scio, the Capitan Pacha set out for Samos, in or der to inflict ..he same fate upon that island, which is not less rich or less flourishing. The number of Scioies killed with arms in their hands is estimated at 16,000, and that of the unfortu nate persons who were massacred, though they took uo part in the insurrection, at 40,000. The ruin at Scio has spread terror in the Levant, and menaces with Lew dangers the wealthiest Greek merchants. TRIESTE, MAy IL—Thirty European families arrived here the day before yesterday from Scio, and are now in quarantine. They state that the carnage was dreadful, and that the greatest part of the women have been carried off,and are to be con veyed to Asia ; the men have been massacred, and the children have been preserved, in order to compel them to adopt the religion of Mahomet. AIIGSBUItG, MAY . 21.—:--The Project relative to a Congress respecting the affairs of Turkey, has been finally rejected by the Court of Russia. — Letters from Venice state, that great .prepara tions were making by. the Capitan Pacha to effect a debarkation at. Hydra. He proposed to de stroy the military magazines there, as well as the Hellenist flotilla in the port of Hydra. He was, however, detained by the vigorous resistance op posed to him at Samos. The Hydriotes, more over, have adopted measures of defence ; all the divisions of the Greek fleet have united, and in tend to meet the Capitan Pacha, notwithstanding his superiority of force. BRUSSELS, MAY 27.—Her Royal Highness the Princess of Orange, and the young Prince are doing well. It is thought that the project for alienating the domains will be strongly opposed in the second chamber by the Deputies of the northern provinces.

The , Pacha proceeded on the evening of the same day. in company with the Commissary-Inspector Hadschi Einin Aga, in haste to Silistria. Before he departed, however, he ordered the chiefs of the Asiatic troops to be assembled, and commanded them to hold themselves in readiness for their departure to wards home.—On the 4th inst. the Commissary-Inspector re turned from Silistria to Bucharest, and on the following day early proceeded in great haste to Jassy. On the 6th Kiaja Pacha returned and renewed the orders which before his de parture he had given for a retreat. On the same day, officers of Government were posted on the roads which lead from Bucharest and Fokshan to Silistria, who were charged to prepare for the accommodation and provisioning of the retiring troops. On. the Bth instant they began their march homewards. A di vision, consisting ot` five hundred and seventy-four Tartars, formed the van ; early orsthentorning of the 9th there moved away a column of r,OO Asiatica, who were to be followed daily by an equal number till the whole of the unpaid troops shall be. withdrawn. The numbei of paid troops remaining behind will .likewise inemediately:hegintheir ;retreat, as the Porte has resolv ed to withdrew the united. forces :from both principalities. In Jassy, on the 3d inst. a Erman, at first kept private, was receiv ed, which, however early on the following day excited the uni versal expectation Of the departure of the Turkish troops, for which event the people were prepared by the transfer of the ar tillery to Silistria, which had a few days before arrived from Brabiloiv at Jassy. The arrival on the sth of the Commissary lnspfictor • from Bucharest, will lead to the execution of the same orders in Moldavia which have already taken place in Walachia. Connected with these events in Bucharest and Jassy, we have received the following intelligence, in addition to the news from Constantinople of the 2fith of April, com municated in our paper of the 14th instant. On the 11th of April, the Capitan Packs sent a flag of truce to the island of Soo, inviting the insurgents to lay down their arms, and accept of the amnesty, and requiring their decision on his proposals within the space of eight hoars. They rejected all, and bade defiance to danger, whilst they directed their fire against the citadel. The Turkish garrison repulsed them, and as the ships which they had used as transports had taken to flight at the moment when the Turkish fleet approached them, the Capitan Pacha, without loss of time, landed 9,000 men. The insurgents on the island were thils placed between two fires. The garrison descended upon them from the citadel, and the troops who had landed attacked them in the rear. In a few hours they had lost all their artillery, consisting of twenty field pieces, which were turned against them. All farther resistance was fruitless. The battle, so long as it lasted, was solely maintained by . the Sciotes; for the Samians, who set on foot the expedition, had found means to escape the battle, and had re-embarked at A distant part of the island. The damage done at Scio is great, and scarcely to be estimated. On the 13tha measure was adopted at Constantinople on the part of the Government,. which must contribute not a little to tran quillize the minds of the Christians. The Tersana-Kiajani who, during the absence of the Capitan Pacha, superintends the administration of policein the capital, received from the Porte an order to take under his special protection tile religious festivals of the Gieeks during Easter,and was made responsi ble that neither the Greeks nor the Armenians should receive any disturbance cr. molestati6h during. - the solemnity. The consequence was, that not only. in the Greek and Armenian churches, all the religious ceremonies, professions, and obser vances, were conducted with the most perfect peace and order, but the festivities which followed viiire-enjoyed by the Greeks in their old style, and in the moat uninterrupted tranquillity.— On the 21st of April the Patriarch was invited to the palace of the Sultan. As this was the anniversary of a lamentable event, the circumstance 'excited - tiniteersal interest. When he appear ed, he was loaded with encomiums by one of the Ministers of the Porte, on aceount of some: judicial decision which he had pronounce d ; and received in the name of the Sultan another considerable donation for the repairof the damaged cathedral church. He was after Wards directed to produce a list of allthe Sciotes then resident in the capital, distinguishing the married from the unmarried- .The former are to.remain in Constanti nople, the latter are to be sent to Asia. The new dragoman of the Porte, Jahia Effendi e is not a native of Corfu, as has been said, but of Gallipoli, and has been 30 years converted to Islamism. He is a man seventy years of age, and as he is be lieved not to be a perfect master of the European languages, he is to have a Secretary of the Armenian persuasion, named Semi Manasse, a person of great knowledge. Thus Jahia Effendi, although invested with the Kaftan, is only Vice Dragoman.—(Austrian Observer.) PORTUGAL. LtsnoN, MAY 13.--Several important subjects have been discussed in the Cortes during the last fortnight. In the Sitting of the 30th of April, the Order of the Day was the opinion of the Diplomatic' Committee on the with drawing of the troops from Monte Video. The Committee state, that, from the documents laid before them, it appeared that the original occupation of Banda Oriental, by the Portu guese troops, had no other object than to secure the lives and properties of the subjects of Portugal on the frontier, at a time of anarchy and disorder in the South _nericon provinces ; but this occupation being now useless, and incompatible with the principles of justice that animate the Portuguese nation, which desires to give the whole world a decisive proof that it knows how to respect the independence of other nations, as well as to defend its own, the Committee recommend. that the Government withdraw the trips from, Monte Video, assign ing them such a deitinatioc as shall seem proper; and that the Commander of these troops ahead be ordered to take mea sures, in concert with the authorities of the province, that the evacuation might take place in good order. A very long de bate arose on tlae. subject. Some Members affirmed, that the country in question belonged to Portugal, as far as the Rio de Plata, and would haVe the north bank of that river constantly occupied by Portuguese troops. Others supported the opinion of the Committee, and ,alleged, that the occupation of Monte Video was unjust, and consequently impolitic, and that the dpossession of it would be of no use to the rich and immense king om of Brazil. The debate was continued at great length in the following sitting, when some Members proposed to adjourn the decision till they had more information from America. The Cortes, however, resolved, that the Sitting should be permanent till the question was decided, and when it was judged to be sufficiently discussed, the President put the question, whether the opinion of the Committee should be approved in the form in which it was now given, and it was decided in the negative by 84 votes to 28. The Cortes still continue the discussion of the Constitution, the commercial relations with Brazil, and the re form of the instituticri called Ferries. During the Sitting of the 29th April, 31. Feigueiras, the Secretary, interrupted the debate to request leave to read a dispatch from Senor Carvalho, the Minister of Justice, which he stated to be of the highest importance. This dispatch states, that being responsible for the public safety, he finds it necessary to acquaint the Cortes that there are in the capital principally, and also in other parts of the kingdom, individuals who are extremely dangerous ; that though no proofs have yet been obtained cf actual crimes in the rigorous sense of the law, yet circumstances of public notoriety, together with the character of the individuals in question (though checked by public opinion), render it advisable to separate them from others with whom they have daily intercourse.—Many grounds recommend this measure in the absence of certain and indubitable proofs which can authorize the action of the judi cial power. The Government, however, needs the did of the legislative power to take this step. This communication was immediately referred to the Committee of the Constitution, which, after deliberating on the subject, advised that the Go vernment should be authorized for the space of one month, for the preservation of public tranquillity, to proceed towards cer tain individuals without tie legal formalities, by removing fiom one part of the kingdom to another any individual, Whether private person or public officer, that it may judge necessary to remove, for the public tranquillity ; these precautions nor to affect the reputation of those who shall not, in the sequel, be brought to legal trial, the sole object being to prevent the evils which would produce the greatest calamities, and if the Go vernment cannot in the time prescribed attain the object, it may apply to the Cortes. The opinion of the Committee was una nimously approved, and an official answer given to the Mini ster of Justice exactly conformable to it. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE, MAY 30.—0 n Wednesday last the Members of the Senate assembled to elect a Professor of Mineralogy, in the room of the late Dr. E. 1). Clarke. J. S. Henslow, Esq. M.A. and the Rev. Francis Lunn, M.A. of St. John's College, were nominated by the heads cf houses. Before the scrutiny commenced a protest was presented by two Members of the Senate against the mode of election by nomination, and the Rev. Thos. Jephson, B.D. of St. John's College, was proposed as a third candidate. A large majority of the Members of the Senate are understood to have tendered their votes for his election. At the termination of the poll the votes so tendered were not read over by the Proctor, and Mr. Henslow was declared duly elected.

DOVER, ;MAY 29.—The presence of their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, now resident at Wal mer Castle, has diffused the liveliest joy and satisfaction through that vicinity. Yesterday their Royal Highnesses visited the fair at Waldershare. It is held annually by per mission of the Earl of Guildford in his park close to his man sion, for the benefit of his servants, who are allowed to shew the house, gardens, wilderness, temple, Belvidere, &c. They are very extensive. The Duke and Duchess were often seer. in the midst of the crowd ; there were supposed to be 15,000 persons at the fair, and every one seemed anxious to grin 'a view of the Royal Personages to shew their respect ; they ap peared delighted with their reception, and the number who greeted them with the most unequivocal marks of loyalty, could not fail to heighten the pleasure they seemed to experience. Waldershare is about six miles from Dover, and the same dis tance from Walmer. Their Royal Highnesses have not yet honoured this place with a visit. They are most anxiously expected.
