Advices from Constantinople, dated the 24th
ult , mention that the Circassian deputy had arrived
in that city with an address, asking for the recog.
nition of the independence of Caucasus by the

The deputy bringing the address, has been

Dervisch Pacha has been nominated to make

Upon this commission, France will be repre-

FRANCE.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING

Public attention is completely absorbed to-day
by the publication or, rather, the partial publica-
tion, for it is not yet complete, of the protocols of
the Peace Congress. As far as the protocols go,
they seem to be generally considered as very unin-
teresting.

It is noticed that the Journal des Debits publishes
a laudatory article on the peace, as concluded by
the Emperor. This is the first time the Orleanist
journalist has spoken admiringly of his Majesty,
and its doing so gives colour to the report which
has for some time been present in the higher
Bonapartist circles, that it is anxious to pass over
to the government and again enjoy the advantages
of government patronage. But I have heard that it
is not impossible that the government will, when
it shall have once completely compromised
itself, decline to accept its aid.
The Bourse has improved, to-day, and money is
more plentiful.

After closing my letter last evening, I learned
that M. De Jollivet, who I told you, two or three
days back, was suspected of having given the
copy of the treaty of peace to the Daily News and
the Belgium papers, has been arrested, and is to
be detained until he will reveal from whom he
got it.

- Strange to say only one of the daily news-
papers has thus far given any account of
the atrocious murder made in the Rue
Laffette mentioned in my letter of the day
before yesterday, and that one gives the details
quite incorrectly, Such is the way in which Paris
newspapers are con ducte 3. Decidedly, the readers
of the NORTHERN TIMES know more of the really
important events that take place in Paris, than the
Parisians themselves. The victim of the murder
was buried to-day.

Amongst the bills presented to the legislative
body, is one for giving the Emperor the power to
grant pensions, not exceeding 8001. a year, to high
State functionaries, their widows and children.
There is also a talk of enabling the Emperor to
grant titles of nobility, accompanied with the
pensions ! And the sum to be allowed to Count
de Morny, for his visit to St. Petersburg, which is
to be one of mere ceremony, is, it is stated, not to
be less than 32,000/. in our money, Poor France !
Her pecuniary burdens are already terrible, and
yet her rulers seem to take a wanton pleasure in
augmenting them.

THE ARMY IN THE CRIMEA.

(PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

SEBASTOPOL. APRIL 17.

To-day the blessings of peace were duly celebrated by
a grand military spectacle. A review of the French and
English armies was held for the benefit of our quondam
bitter foe, hut now dear friend, General Luders. Perhaps
such a sight as the marching past of these two great
armies will never be seen again. The review of the
French took place at 11 a.m., and ended at 3 p.m. Ou its
conclusion, General Luders proceeded to a dejeuner at
our head quarters, and after having enjoyed General
Codrington's hospitality, came forth to inspect the English
troops. The review of our army lasted from about four
p.m. till seven p.m. The ground selected for the. French
review was the plateau on the summit of the range of
hills that run along the coast from the heights above the
Col De Balaklava to the Monastery of St. Cesorid. As
you stood at one extremity of the ground, the French
regiments covered the whole of the face of the country in
a long line as far as the eye could reach. The dark
masses could just be discerned on the last hill, contrast-
ing with the faint outline of the Black Sea. It indeed
seemed a mighty host. After being inspected, the whole
army marched past a small rising ground, on which stood
Gens. Pelissier, Codririgton, and Luders. The army took
two hours and a quarter in marching past, and it is
estimated that their numbers were about 80,000 men.
Considering the great sickness they have had during the
last winter, the troops looked uncommonly well. The
Zouaves, as they came past in double quick time, with
their swinging step and picturesque costume, were espe-
cially admired. The cavalry and artillery, owing to the
wretched horses on which they were mounted, did not
create so good an effect. When this review was over, the
generals, with their most gorgeous retinue, proceeded to
our head quarters to lunch. As they got near to the
house in which our Commander-in-Chief takes up his
residence, the road was lined by the 11th Hussars, and so
the Russian general rode up, to what was once Russian
property, to enjoy the hospitality of its English master,
between lines of English Cavalry. The staff that followed,
comprised every uniform that the imagination could suggest.
There was our own 11th Hussar dress ; there was the
blue and white of the French Hussar, the French Horse
Artillery, the French Chasseurs, Russian Dragoons in blue
and silver, Russian Hussars in every colour of the rainbow,
and, what was most striking, a troop of Cossack body guards
who were attired verylike our gracious Queen's beef-eaters,
or the guards of the royal Bengal tiger in Wombwell's
menagerie, red lances, red caps, red everything. Among
these flashed the gold and waved the plumes of innumerable
staff officers. The English army was paraded in front of the
house that serves as our head-quarters on a large open
plain. As the house stands upon a bill, the generals
ascended to it from behind, nothing could be seen of our
troops till they came out of the front of the house.
In th;s way the arrangements were very good.
The Highland Brigade was drawn up on each side
to line the path through which the generals would pass,
and the rest of the army extended right and left in long
lines, at the extremity of their ranks. As then the generals
came out from the house, the effect suddenly bursting upon
them must have been very good. At last the long wished
for moment came, white plumes were seen to dance about
the balcony in front of the house; the Highlanders stood to
attention ; the guns of the artillery fired a salute, and the
the brilliant cortege advanced slowly into the open space
before the house. Here they paused to enjoy the sight, and
then, with bands playing, the Highlanders standing like
rocks on either side, they advanced slowly along the ranks.
After they had ridden along the whole of the lines, the
generals gallopped up to a flag-staff that had been
erected, and the whole army marched past. The
troops marched past in the same order as at the
last review, the first division leading, and the light
division, followed by the Artillery, bring up the rear. We
mustered about 40,000 men. The Highlanders and Artillery
especially attracted the admiration of the Russians. The
Artillery were a striking contrast to the French; the guns
and carriages were in first rate order, and the horses in most
splendid condition. The men universally looked well and
strong. It was growing dusk when the review ended, and
General Luders thus saw, in a single day, the whole of
that mighty host, which—but for the present unexpected
change in affairs—would have been now dealing death and
destruction against his country. Strange thoughti must
have passed through that man's mind as those thousands,
far away from their own land, proudly stepped past, in the
pride of health and strength, looking as well on that foreign
soil, which they had won by their sword, as if they had
just turned out of their barracks at home The Russians are
brave men, but they might learn, from to-day's spectacle,
a respect for other nations, which, perhaps, Russian pride
refuted hitherto to acknowledge. The Russians had a review
last Sunday, but it was only a kind of preparatory one, and
they promise a grander one in a short time. Very few knew
of the one last Sunday. Last Tuesday the French had some
races on the ground between Kamiesch and the monastery,
at which General Luders was present. The race of
the day was won by a Frenchman, a Count Thelon.
Russians now meet one at every turn, and Russian droskies
line our roads. A real prince, of the aristocratic title of
Prince Galitzkin, has been staying next door to me, but the
great gun of the Crimea, is an Indian prince, from Calcutta.
He attracted great attention at the races and review. He is of
a most ebony and Oriental cast of countenance, but
takes away from his romance by dressing a le Angictis, in
trousers and boots. The Russian officers are fine looking,
gentlemanly men, and invariably speak three or four
languages. _ _ _

April 18th.—The weather, which hitherto has been very
favourable ror all these sights, has to day taken a sudden
change, and it rains in the most persevering manner, while
a north wind reminds you that he has not quite done with
you yet, and scatters all your summer feelings.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THURSDAY
The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.

PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The Dewsbury, Bateley, and Heckmondwike Water
Bill, and the Scarborough Water Bill were read a third
time and passed.
On the motion of Mr. BROTHERTON, the East Kent
Railway Bill, and the Imperial Hotel Company Bill, were
respectively withdrawn.
_rt

Sir JAMES DUKE presented petitions from several of the
livery companies against the Corporation Reform Bill.
Several petitions were presented against the abolition
of church rates without a proper substitute being found ;
numerous petitions were also presented against the grant
to Maynooth.

IRISH POSTAL COMMUNICATIONS,

In reply to a question put by Lord NAAS, with regard
to the postal communication between Ballymena, Cole-
raine, and Londonderry,

Mr. Wrtsort said that very great difficulty had been
found in dealing with the railways on these lines. A
negociation, however, had been opened and brought to a
successful conclusion, and great improvements would take
place in the postal arrangements of the districts, com-
mencing on the 9th of the present month.

SPANISH DUTIES

In reply to Mr. LIDDELL,

Lord PALMERSTON said that the refusal of the Spanish
Government to refund to Messrs. Clementson, of New—
castle-upon-Tyne, the amount of excess of duties levied
last October at Tarragona upon a cargo of iron, had occu-
pied the attention of her Majesty's Government at home,
and of the English minister at Madrid. The Spanish
Government had acknowledged the claim, but up to the
present time the money was not forthcoming. The
Spanish Government was the slowest of all governments
in satisfying pecuniary claims, but the British Govern-
ment would use their best exertions to see justice done in
this and all other similar cases.

THE RUSSIAN BOUNDARIES,

In reply to Sir 11. WILLOUGHBY,

Lord PALMERSTON said that the boundaries described
by the treaty of peace, were so definite, that it was not
considered necessary to prepare a plan.

TUB DANUBIAN ISLANDS.

Replying to Mr. T. FRENCH,
The Noble Lord said the islands at the mouth of the
Danube, would be excluded from the Russian gevern_
ment.

THE MACE. SEA FORTRESSES.

In answer to Lord J. MANNERS,
Lord PALMERSTON said that a discussion had taken
place in the Paris conferences, with regard to the fortresses
on the east coast of the Black Sea, but it had led to no
result, and there was nothing in the treaty that referred
specially to that part of the country.

THE FIREWORKS.

Replying to Mr. Tnos. DUNCOMBE,
Lord PALMERSTON said the pyrotechnic celebration of
the peace would take place on the Queen's birthday.
On the orders of the day being called on,
Lord PALMERSTON proposed that the other orders
should be postponed till after the Kars debate.

Mr. DUNLOP complained of injustice to private mem-
bers, who had measures on the paper, by this pro-
ceeding.

Mr. MALINS made a similar complaint, and appealed to
the noble lord to allow the debate upon private members'
bills. to take place previous to the resumption of the
the Kars debate.

Lord PALMERSTON justified the course which he pro-
posed to take.
Mr. CRAWFORD added his remonstrances to those of
other members who had spoken against this course of
proceedings, and complained that those measures should
be postponed to make way for a factious motion.
The orders of the day were then read and postponed.

THE FALL OF KARS.

The debate on the Kars question was renewed by
Sir E. B. LYTTON, who justified the course which he
took on Tuesday in moving the adjournment, and then
proceeded to reply to Mr. Layard's speech, denying that
the motion of Mr. Whitagide attributed tha fall of Kars
exclusively to the conduct of her Majesty's Government.
Had excellent despatches and energetic letter-writing been
alone required to save Kars, Lord Clarendon would have
succeeded, but ammunition, artillery, provisions. and
transports were also required, and it was well known
that they could not be provided by the Turkish Govern-
ment. If a sum of money had been placed at the disposal
of General Williams, the Russians would never have
entered Kars, but though millions were asked for, and
though a Turkish loan was raised for the defence of
Turkey, no such proceeding had been taken throughout.
After alluding to the importance of the fortress. He
argued that its loss was owing to the want of energy
and foresight on the part of the British Ministers, and
principally to the procrastination of Lord Panmure.

Mr. V. *SMITH' observed that the censure conveyed by
the resolution was directed by those who had supported
it to Lords Clarendon and Panmure, who had not an
opportunity in that debate of defending their conduct.
Honourable members sitting on the opposition side of the
House had endeavoured to evade a direct issue on the
question. This issue must be taken u pen the comparative
advantages of different directions of hostility, and he
contended that the politic course at the lime was to direct
all their efforts against Lord Palmerston. He (Mr. V.
Smith) considered that the whole conduct of the war
should have been discussd at once, and not on a single
point selected because it was unfortunate that it might be
mede the ground of a party attack upon the Government.
Mr. VANSITTART supported, and Mr. LAFFAN opposed
the resolution.

Colonel DUNNE charged the fall of Kars upon the War-
office, and upon the government, and supported the reso-
lution.

Mr. COWAN defended the government.
Mr• LIDDELL cordially assented to the amendment,

Sir JAMES GRAHAM divided the charges against the
Government into two—first, that though they were dis-
satisfied with the conduct of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe,
they had failed to recall him ; and, secondly, that they
had omitted to send relief to Kars in proper time. With
regard to the first charge, he reverted to the services of
Lord Stratford, to the stand that he had made against
Russian agression, and to the introduction by him of first
principles of religious liberty into Turkey. He regretted
the misunderstanding between General Williams and Lord
Stratford, which he believed had led to evil consequences,
but remarked,with reference to the latter, that his ability,
his length of service, and his success, would have induced
him (Sir James Graham), had he remained in
office, to have opposed, to his utmost, any attempt
to remove him. With regard to the second ground of
blame, he considered that the refusal to withdraw troops
from the Crimea, at the suggestion of Omar Pacha, not-
withstanding the ability of that general, was both justi-
fiable and expedient, and in support of his opinion, he
referred to a conference in the Crimea, early in July, con-
sisting of English and French generals, whose opinion
was unanimous, that not a single man should be detached
from Balaklava, Eupatoria, Kertch, or other ports. The
right hon. baronet, in conclusion, stated his intention of
opposing the resolution and amendment.
Mr. DtsRAELI defended the resolution. His hon. and
learned friend, the member for Enniskillen, did not make
Lord Stratford de Redcliffe the subject of his attack,
but impugned the conduct of those who were respon-
sible for Lord Stratford's conduct. He contended that it
was the intention of the Government in fulfilment of what
might be considered a pledge, to have sent succour to
General Williams. With regard to the argument that
men could not be spared from the Crimea for the pur-
pose, the right honourable gentleman elicited much cheer-
ing by enquiring whether it was to be understood that
the strength of united Europe was so weak against Russia
that no force could be spared to create a diversion. If
even the Government could not send men to General
Williams, they might have sent money, but this they
had failed to do.

Lord J. RUSSELL defended the Government.
Lord PALMERSTON vindicated the Government.

Mr. WHITESIDE having replied at considerable length,
The House divided on Mr. Ker Seymer's amendment,
that it was inexpedient to express an opinion upon the
question, until after the debate on the treaty of peace had
takeniiplace.

On this division the numbers were:—
For the amendment
Against it

_ Majority 399
A division immediately followed on the original resolu-
tion proposed by Mr. Whiteside, when there appeared
For the resolution 17fi
Against it '303

Majority in favour of ministers...l27
The announcement of the numbers was received with
loud and long continued cheers.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and
the House adjourned at half-past one o'clock.

THE KARS DEBATR.—Last night the adjourned debate
in the House of Commons on Mr. Whiteside's resolution
on the subject of the fall of Kars was brought to a close.
After a division on Mr. K. Seymour's amendment, which
was to the effect that it was inexpedient to pronounce an
opinion on the Kars question until the debate on the treatY
of peace had taken place, and which was rejected by an
Overwhelming majority, the House divided on the original
question (Mr. Whiteside's resolution), when there ap-
peared 176 votes in its favour; 303 against it, thus giving
a majority of 127 to Ministers. Our report adds that the
announcement of the numbers was received with loud aa4
long continued cheering.
