ing the invasion of the Austrians in NV. His MASISTY
has restored to the city the title of Most Faithful, which it
If
enjoyed previous to the disgrace it suffered for defending
itself against the Austrians.. This measure seems to be of
a very marked character, especially when we couple it with
the KING'S refusal to meet the Emperor of AUSTRIA at
Milan.
The Etoile of Wednesday asserts, in the most emphati-
cal, manner that the peace of Europe will not be di-turbed.
" The idea of a possible rupture," adds the French jour-
nalist, "does not even occur to the mind of any reasonable
man." This is strong.language, and we think unnecessarily
strong ; for, among "reasonable men," there has not been
■ny expectation of a probable rupture, tlitiiigh the " idea" of
its "possibility" may and perhaps should sometimes cross
the minds of speculatists. We are convinced, however,
there never was a period when the tronquillity of Europe
MS less likely to be interrupted. The Etuile alludes in-
distinctly to the recognition of the new States of ...merles as
indicating disposition on the parr of the English Ministry
" to sacrifice to Elitish commerce some of the interests of
the great EurOpean family." . Mr. Ca turn has avowed
certainly that the Shibboleth of, his policy is England,
but we believe that with all his English feeling he never
for a single moment contemplated the attainment of any
selfish benefit at the expense of the real interests of all or
any of the European Governments. Mr. CANNING seems
to arrive at no petty or ephemeral result by crooked paths
or deceitful artifices. The fabric of his system is capacious
and durable. He has founded the external relations of
the country on principles which are sound and permanent,
because the longer they are in action, and the better they
are understood, the more readily will they be sealed with
the sanction and assent of all the Powers of the Continent.
The English Ministry have differed from them, not because
the general interests of Europe were a subject of indiffer-
ence to England, but because those interests were in fact
misunderstood by the parties concerned, and becsuse Eng-
land did not choose to suffer by their obstinacy and folly.

The intelligence received yesterday in the Dutch and
German Papers is highly satisfactory. The pacific dispo-
sition of Russia is proved by the arrangement just con-
cluded between Mr. STRATFORD CANNING and Count
Nsaseznone, for the adjustment of the differences be-
tween the two Powers, as to the boundaries of their re-
spective dominions on the north-west coast of America.
A Convention, it appears, has been signed, by which the
limits and rights of each are accurately defined. Concern-
ing the affairs of the East, nothing definitive seems to be
yet known, though it may, we think, be safely inferred,
from the whole aspect of the polhical horizon, that the
independence of Greece will be finally recognised, without
the annexation of any conditions unacceptable to the
Greeks themselves. The members of the Holy Alliance
view with no friendly eyes the establishment of a new
State, in disregard, or, to speak more correctly, in contempt
of their wishes ; but they must conform to the actual cir-
cumstances of the day, and if they cannot make the new
Government exactly what they are desirous it should be,
they must even suffer it to be what it will.
By the extract we have given from the Brussels Oracle,
it appears that the measures lately brought forward by Mr.
HUSIEISSON are already beginning to produce the most fa-
vourable effect on our trade with the Netherlands. By
the steady perseverance of the British Government in ex-
tending the operation of the liberal principles of their com-
mercial system, all doubt will soon be removed with re-
spect to their sincerity, and foreigners will be induced the
more speedily to imitate their example. How much more
wisely, then, has the surplus of revenue been applied to
this purpose than it would have been to those modes of
partial and domestic relief which an unsuccessful attempt
has been made to stir up the people to demand. The ge-
neral prosperity of the civilised world will be promoted by
the free intercourse which the nations are now cultivating
with each other; and England, as the most commercial of
them, will necessarily participate most largely in these
beneficial results, that will accrue in more or less degree
to all.

Both Houses of Parliament met yesterday pro forma,
in order that the Royal Anent might be given to some
public and private Bills. The Lords have adjoutned to
Wednesday se'nuight (the 13th inst.), and the Commons
to the day following (the 14th inst.).

The extracts we have made from the evidence given
before the Lords Committ.e on the state of Ireland, will
be read, we have no doubt, with great attention and
interest. They relate to the two proposed conditions or
accompaniments of the restoration of the Catholics to their
political rights, viz. the provision for the Catholic clergy,
and the raising of the qualification of the Irish freeholders.
The opinions of Mr. O'CoNnsu. on the latter subject,
and those of Dr. DOYLE 011 the former, are of great
importance. These distinguished Gentlemen, it will be
seen, approve of both these measures; and considering the

THE BRITISH PRESS.

Spanish Bonds, both old and new, were improving. The
former at 234 li, and the latter at 18. Danish Scrip was at
discount.
In the Share Market there was but little variation. The
price in the Pearl and Coral Company for money was 3.5,
and for the 15th April, 18 to 20. It is quite clear, there-'
fore, that there have been immense speculations in these
Shares,' and that the Beats are caught. Pasco Peruvian
anis at 18 ; the new Mexican Company at 6 ; and the
Peruvian Mining and Trading Association at 34 j.
The Prospectus of a new Share Exchange Company has
been issued, and it seems to have caused some alarm
amongst the gentlemen of the Stock Exchange, whose
Committee have issued the following notice :
`• 29th March, ma.

" The Committee having learned from an advertisement that an
intention exists of forming a new establishment for the transaction
of the same business that is now conducted in the Foreign Stock
Exchange, which would, if carried into effect, produce serious In-
convenience by the division of the market, think it right to acquaint
the House, that any member bemiring a subscriber to such new
establishment, or transacting business there, will cease to belong
to the Foreign Stock Exchange "
In the Colonial market there were some sales of Sugar.
Next week being a holiday, the dealers were obliged to buy,
and consequently purchases were made at prices that
would not have been given yesterday. There was nothing
doing in Coffee.

The Princess Augusta and the Princess Sophia were
of the evening party given by the Duchess of Kent on '
Wednesday.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Lady Sarah Ro-
binson left their residence in Downing-street yesterday,
for the seat of Lady Buckinghamshire, at Charlton.
A private letter from Paris speaks of an association of
proprietors of national. deenains, to oppose the efforts that
emigrants may make to detain possession of their former
estates.
The Jourlal de Gasd has an extract from a private
letter, dated Paris, Marcia 44, to the following effect:—" If
we may believe letters ftom Italy, the Pope has declared
that be does not recognise the new King of Naples,
because lie has not obtained from him the investiture of
his kingdom ; and also, that his Holiness the Pope has
forbidden the Bishops to crown him, until he shall have
some in yerson publicly to present the tribute due from the
Mugs of Naples to the Holy See. These letters further
tote, that his Holiness has caused it to be signified to
Ririe Louisa, Duchess of Parma, that she has to pay the
tribute of a golden chalice to St. Peter, which that duchy
Oiled to offer as a sign of vassalage. But the news that
excites the most sensation among the Romano is, that after
the year 1825, they are not to have any more actresses in
their theatres."
Letters were received yesterday from Gibraltar, dated
the 10th instant. They state that the southern provinces
of Spain are ripe for revolution ; in several districts the
Constitutional troops muster from 100 to 300 men. Vari-
ons reports are circulated respecting the expectation of
bodies of Constitutionalists landing on the coast of Spain.
The latest letters from Egypt state that great attention
has been given lately to the cultivation of sugar. It is
also stated that the Pacha has transmitted orders to England
to send out immediately persons acquainted with the ma-
nufacture of' rum. We believe two gentlemen are already
engaged for this undertaking.
The Demerara Royal Gazette of the 11th ult. describes
the ceremony which took place at the landing of the new
Bishop of Barbadoes from his Majesty's yacht Herald.
His Lordship was received with every demonstration
of joy.
The rage for Joint Stock Companies is not confined to
England. A letter from Copenhagen, dated the 19th of
March, states, that a Baltic Commercial Company is now
forming, which makes that city the staple for the trade of
the whole Baltic. There are to be 300 shares of 400 rix
dollars each. It is said that considerable foreign houses
have already offered to join.
The trial of Fort in the Court of Assizes at Paris, was
concluded on Monday. The Viscount de Peyronnet,
Avueat-General, sustained the accusation. He commented
on the evidence, and endeavoured to prove how much
M. de Gatigny was above the suspicions thrown out against
him. M. Beeville, in favour of the prisoner, first argued
that the peculations were not committed by Fort, and then,
that if it was not with a view to the concealment of
such a circumstance, there could have been no motive
for him to have committed the rash act. He then
noticed the contradictions and discrepancies in the evi-
dence against the prisoner, and endeavoured to turn
the arguments for the prosecution into his defence.
During his counsel's speech it was observed that the pri-
soner shed tears. The President then submitted to the
Jury the question upon which they had to pronounce.
After having heard the declaration of the Jury, the Court,
at two in the morning, sentenced the prisoner to be kept
to bard labour for the remainder of his life, and once to be
publicly exposed and branded.
BERIS ELECTION.—On Wednesday the election of a
Member to serve in Parliament for the county of Berks,
in the room of Lord Braybrooke, took place at the Shire-
ball, Abingdon, when Robert Palmer, Esq. of Iloline
Park, was declared duly elected. After Mr. Palmer had
returned thanks, and the business in the Shire-hall, Read-
ing, had been concluded, he was chaired round the town,
attended by flags, banners, and music. As the procession
went on, Mr. Palmer created considerable amusement by
throwing handfuls of shillings and sixpences amongst the
crowd ; in the scramble for which, freedom of election and
the privileges of the Constitution were altogether forgotten.
In a pool in one corner of a kind of square, were to be
seen some dozen or two of men and women, on their knees,
faces, bands, &c. scrambling for some silver which had
found its way into the water, or rather mud. Their ap-
pearance, after the scramble, was truly laughable.
Tuesday a requisition, most numerously and respec-
tably signed, was presented to the Mayor of Liverpool,
reque, ting him to convene a public meeting of the inha-
bitants of the town, to take into consideration the pro-
priety of petitioning Parliament for a revision of the Corn
Laws. His Worship expressed his willingness to comply
with the wishes of the requisitionists ; and lie has ap-
pointed the meeting to be held on Friday, the Bth instant,
in the Town-hall. _

We are happy to say that the town Is tilling very rapidly,
and there is no doubt that during the Easter holidays
Brighton will be unusually full and gay. The arrivals
within the last few days have been numerous, and in
Regency-equate there is not, we believe, a single house to
be let, most of them being engaged for several weeks.
Amongst the arrivals are--Lord and Lady Berwick, Mr.
and Mrs. Mure and family, Sir James Langham, Mr. Afri.
and Miss Portal, Earl and Countess of Beauchamp, Mr.
Egerton, M.P. and Mrs. Egerton, the Misses Croft, Mr.
Jones, Mr. Srnith, Arc. &c.
The Russian Ambassador, Count and Countess Lieven
and family, will arrive on Friday, for a fortnight.
