be stopped. Much anxiety still prevails at Pent, though no revolu-

Bucharest announce that the late events had not hindered the Russ

The Monitetir announces that his Majesty, desiring to honour
the memory of the illustrious Magistrate, whose recent death is so
deeply and justly deplored, and to give to the Council-General of
the department of the Seine a testimony of his statisfetion at the,
honourable manner in which it has shown its regret for the Ims of
I worthy President. has been pleased, on a report made by the

PARIS. JULY 21.
A Journal publishes the following resolution of the Regency of
Portugal, dated the nth of April last.
" The functions of Ambassador and Plenipotentiary to his
Christian Majesty, confided to the Count Subserra, being endsed,
because his credentials expire in consequenee of the death of hi
Majesty King John VI., sod the Government of this kingdom
not thinking lit to give him new ertslentials, on account of he
cir-
cumatancea in which the Count de Subserra has been placed during
his residence at the Court of Spsin, his salary as Ambassador shall
cease to be paid him from the 30th of this month of April."
The fixing of the 30th of April, adds
haveJo which fur-
nishes us with this document, seems to been done on per-
pose. for it calls to mind the anniversary of the plot of Bempoeta
in 1824, when the arrest of the Count de Subserra was ordered,
and
d
a reward set on his head by the very men whose projects he
powerfully seconded in the month of May the preceding year 60c.;

Several of our Contemporaries are urging the necessity
of an immediate appeal to the wisdom of Parliament, under
the national embarrassments. We, however, think that
there never was a period when less advantage could be
gained by assembling the Legislature than at present. In
giving this opinion, we are influenced by the consideration
that no solid benefit could be derived from it; and that,
consequently, it would, so far from allaying discontent, in-
crease it by creating disappointment. On all occasions
where Legislation can reach the evil, we are desirous that
the country should have the benefit of the deliberations of
so perfect an epitome of the good sense, Integrity, and in-
formation of
.England, as the second and third Estates of
the Realm have presented, notwithstanding What Palace-
yard Orators may say to the contrary. But can Parlia-
ment, we would ask, however intensely it may apply itself
to the consideration of the sulj(et of our existing dis-
tress, give food to the hungry, or work to the unetn-
ployed, under the present circumstances of the Empire ?
It could only apply palliatives, which would increase the
evil. The extrusion of the free system to the Corn Trade
might indeed receive the sanction of the Legislature ; but,
with all our anxiety to see that sound principle adopted,
it would be dishonest in us to assert that it would afford
immediate relief to the sairings of the Manufacturers of
Lancashire and Yorkshire; because, previously, means
must be found for them to purchase it. The fact is, too
large a proportion of our population is engaged in Manufac-
tures, to the neglect of our Agriculture, Fisheries, and other
departments of national industry ; and until we repair that
evil, by turning a portion of it now engaged in manufactures
to other pursuits, the body politic cannot become in a
!healthy state. This operation, it is admitted, will take
time ; but the crisis is arrived, and we ought to take ad-
vantage of it, not fight It off by palliatives. But this
I must be done by the enterprise of individuals, encouraged
and assisted by the Government, and not by Acts of Par-
liament—at least Parliament could do but little in it at
present. The privations of the manufacturing population
press as heavily on our mind as they can do on those of
any of our contemporaries - but we Cannot so far forget our
duty as to urge the assemblingi of Parliament, when we
can see no immediate advantage to arise from it. Ministers,
much to their credit, wrung a boon. from the landed inte-
rest, although it was a small one, before the dissolution;
and the effects of that will be felt in addition to those of
the harvest, which always have a tendency to lower the
price of the corn. In our consciences we believe that the
operatives would not be in the slightest degree relieved by
prematurely' calling Parliament together, and upon every
other consideration of the question, we deprecate the
measure as one ft aught with many evils; one of the prin-
cipal of which would be, either the adoption of palliatives,
or the infliction of severe disappointment to those who are
certainly not now in a condition to bear it. Upon the
same principle we would oppose any relief from the
Government, which would engender high expectations, and
ultimately bitter regret.

CITY, AJONDAY EVENING.
It is impossible to conceive a duller day than this has
been in every respect. In the absence of all news Gen.
Omen endeavoured tolnalllnftiefure some, but their piece
of journey-work was of too clumsy a nature to pass muster,
and was discarded sans ceremonie. Consols varied very
little during the day, not above an eighth, and finally
closed at 77.
In the Foreign Market eves, thing was equally unin-
teresting; Colombian closed at 3424, and Mexican advanced
a shade, leaving off at 47j. In the absence of business,
'the subject of the late rumour* as to the arrival of the
Tweed, with the Colombian Dividends on board,waspretty
freely discussed, and some merriment excited at the ex-
pense of a numerous drove of minor Bulls, and one super-
latively monstrous Bear.
The Share Market presented the only novelty of the day,
which was the rapid advance of Brazilian Mining Shares
from 8 to 12 premium, at which latter price there were
buyers at the close of the market.
It is understood that the communications from the ma-
nufacturing districts are of a nature to requite an interview
on the part of the London Committee with Mr. NEI.,
which is stated to have taken place this (lay.
Letters from the Levant describe the very precarious
state of trade in that neighbourhood, from the circumstance
of the daring attacks of the Greek Pirates. It appears that
his Majesty s frigate Sybille had suffered considerably in
men and officers, in an attack upon a piratic fleet in the
neighbourhood of Candle.. The-thing has now become of
so serious a nature, as to all for the active interference of
the British Government, for the protection of the trade in
those seas, and for the punishment of the aggressors.
The Corn Market shows scarcely more activity than the
Funds in operation to-day. Wheat, from some cause, not
explained beyond the factehat it will not be parted with at
a lower price, shows an advance of Sts. per quarter. Oats,
also, are a shade higher. Qther grain the same as last
market, and very little doiPg•
