THE EXPRESS, IsrpNp4.y g VE:

reckless or unrighteous project we have never
heard of. Nobody pretends to assert that in the
city of Gloucester, for example..Us man of SO con-
stituem y has done anything to ileserve the censure
or distrust of the Legislature. Some two or three
hundred scoundrels have been convicted of
venality, and by every principle of public policy
or public law they ought to be precluded from
picking political packets in future. Put it no
higher than a question of police ; it is perfectly
shameful that Parliament should persist in pala-
vering about purity of election, and yet neglect
the manifest duty which it owes to the public in
this respect ; and it is unpardonable that men like
those who sit in the present Cabinet should delibe-
rately contemplate and wilfully help to secure per-
mission and opportunity to these vagabonds to re-
sume their nefarious trade after a certain day. This
is what the five years' suspension comes to—it is a
measure for the conservation of corruption in the
constituencies, and nothing else. Impunity
against criminal consequences is secured by sta-
tute to all who confess the offence ; and with that
provision we do not meddle here. But it is simply
preposterous to argue that because a man is not
indicted for a crime he must therefore be per-
nutted—nay, encouraged—to repeat its perpetra•
non. The practical working of the five yean'
suspension scheme will be imply this, that every-
one who wishes to bribe or to be bribed will have
full notice that once in every five years he may do
so securely according to law ; all he will have to
do will be to commit the offence, publicly boast
of it, and then laugh at his honest neighbour for
his self-denial

The Prussian Official Gautte publishes the f.

Our predecessors on the throne have bequeathed to us
the respectable custom that on the accession of the Kings
of Prussia tbq reoeive the oath of &Ragtime@ from the
soantry. We maintain that tradition as an inviolable right
of our crown, and we also wish it to he equally guaranteed
to our sucammem Rut, in consideration of the changes
introduced into the constitution of the monarchy under the
praiperatte reign of our dearly beloved brother King Frederick
William IV., of glorious memory, we have resolved to
resew, instead of the ceremony of rendering homage, the
edam aormatkin by which our august master, King Fre-
derick 1., founded hereditary royalty in our house.

Inclining ourselves humbly before God, and imploring
the blaming of the Almighty for us and for our beloved
watry, we wish, by the festival of the coronation eels.
bested in the presence of the members of the two Chambers
of the Dug and other witnesses invited by us from all the
provinces of our kingdom, to render testimony to the awed
sad ever imperishable right of the crown to which we have
been called by the grace of God, and to consolidate still
more the bond formed by a glorious history between our
how and the Prussian people.

We shall therefore celebrate, coajoiatly with the
Queen, our spouse, our solemn coroaatiou la t►e month

THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES.

BIICELIBEST, JULY 5, Enema.
The Legislative Chamber in ita sitting of to-
day, passed, by 32 against 23 votes, a vote of want
of confidence in the ministry for having permitted
the circulation of a petition advocating electoral
reform and the union of Moldavia an: Wallachia ;
because also they had not presented the Budget to
the Chamber, and had done nothing to accelerate
public business.
This attitude of the Chamber has produced general
dissatisfaction. The capital and the surrounding
districts are preparing an address to the icovern-
meet, oong.-atolating the ministry on their &M-
-ass, and on their having everywhere maintained
order and tranquillity, notwithstanding the in-
timate of the old political parties.
The metropolitan has volumed to vote against the
government.
