LONDON,
MONDAY, MAT so, um.

We have received Paris Paper% to the 17th in.
slant. They contain no satisfactory intelligence
respecting Turkey. The French Government is
reinforcing the cordon of troops op the Spanish
Trawler.

Hamburgh Papers to the lath, and Brussels to
the 17th, arrived at a late hour last night. M. D■
TATISCHAPP bad net arrived at St. Petersburgh on
the 27th of April. The public mind, therefore, re-
mained iu suspense respecting the 'relations with
Turkey. Na light was expected to be thrown upon
the subject until the result of his mission should
beConse known.

It appears from Spanish Papers to the 7th inst.
that the country tontinues to be moneyed by brads
of rebels. hut neither formidable in number. nor of
• chancier to endanger the existing order of things.

We have received Frankfort Papers to tbs Nth
ta
insnt. to the sitting of the Chamber of Depu-
ties of the Grand Duchy of Bsden, the following
resolutions were proposed and uaasinlassly agreed
to nu the 6th instant:—

That the Grand Duke be requested to cause s ruled of
law to be peectibed, by which—

"ill. Similar ateasoreo should be adopted toward, the
Prosaism provisees ea lb. Millie, salsas Prussia abolishes
Ns exorbitant dseiss ea imperialism

111. Moiler measures should be proposed wills respect
to Milted mod England."
It was then proposed, that, io consequence of the
urgency of the care, the Resolutions should be Un-
medintely referred to a Committee, which motion
was also adopted with acclamation.
The nations of Europe affected by this measure
have no right to complain. Action and re-action
are equal and contrary, and a restricted mem.
sore in one country necessarily peochtees a corre-
sponding effect in another: In like manner, when
the new Russian Tariff made its appearance, it was
acknowledged to be contrary to the liberal policy
and principles of the Russian Government, and
justified merely on the ground of the restrictive
systems of other nations. Thus the nations of
Event, while they are politically at peace, stand
committed in commercial warfare. Oar Ministers
have lately professed to have seen the errors of this
system, and evinced a disposition to correct them ;
but it is now become soextended, we fear that, with
the very best intentions, they will find it difficult, if
not impracticable, to retrace their steps.

A Paper of yesterday, while it commends the nil,.

tributes the distress to their own misconduct is
neglecting the labours of the field, andderutiiz

this parsgraph must be to produce the very effect
which it pretends to deprecate. It can be meai,t
fur no other purpose but to close .‘ the kw!

and damp the generous anion" displayed through
the land in the cause of humanity. In ti..,
view the charge is cruel, and its cruelty
is aggravated by its injustice, The district.
which suffer most severely the pressure of di..
tress are remote from the focus of the late th—
turbances; but it is not necessary to [owe this fact
in refutation of the charge. It is well known ihst
there wen no want of industry on the part of
sufferers ; that the potatoes, she u‘nal food of tl
people, were planted, but that from the wetiirpr rt

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

Saturday night a variety of entertainments were
performed at this theatre tar the purpose of assist-
tug the fund for the relief of the angering Irish,
to which the profits were unreservedly devoted.
On this occasion Mr. JOHNSTONE, so tuauy years
the favourite representative of Irish ottaractria,
appeared ea Dennis Bnlgraddery, in the comedy
of Jolts Bid!, and was welcomed with. a henrty
enthusiasm, worthy of his merits and of the
cause which drew him from his retirement to
the stage. Excepting that the loss of his teeth
has somewhat injured his articulatioa, his per.
formauce was as perfect as ever. Dosrrou, who
came forward also to perform Job Thornberry, was
received with acclamation, and played with sturdy
pathos. RUSSELL also volunteered his services as
Tom Sitificton ; and, after the play, Mr. flitanata,
MadamAresTats, Miss POvEr. and all the vocalists
of the company, executed some of their moot popular
songs. ANBROGETTI also gave his aid in the arena
from 1.1 Fanatic° Music°, in which his excel.
leuce is so well known ; and Moaner acted in
the farce. We regret to say, that, notwithstanding
all these attraction., the home was thinly attended,
but the performances went off with more than usual
animation and *access.
