Three o'clock, p.m.

The discussion of the Budget in the Chamber of
I)eputies was resumed on Wednesday last, when M.
Brun de Villaret availed himself of the opp.atunity
to attack the conduct of Government in not having
attempted to establish a commercial intercourse with
St. Domingo. He upbraided Ministers also with

suffering all commercial intercourse with the pro-
vinces of Belgium and the Rhine to cease, the hearts
of the inhabitants of which were French, and whose
territory he prophesied would, one time or another,
be under the dominion of France. He next adverted
to Italy, and inveighed the French Government for
having remained quiet spectators while the natural
rival of France was peaceably suffered to take pos-
session of 'Naples and the whole of Italy, and even
to establish garrisons on the French frontier. The
views taken of this aggression by the Deputy are no
doubt in accordance with the sentiments of all libe-
ral Frenchmen, and with the feeling of every hide-
' p,:ndent individual throughout Europe. Ile censured
Ministers fOr not interfering in behalf of the long
persecuted Great:, who were struggling to throw
OA' the yoke of their oppressors, but on these sub-
jects he could not extract any opinion from those
whom he accused.

The French Journals contain speculative para.
.graphs of a warlike tone between Russia and the
Porte, but, as emanating evidently from stockjobbers
end their agents, they are scarcely deserving of no-
tice. Private accounts mention that a treaty has
been entered into between the Courts of Great Bri-
tain and Denmark, by virtue of which England is
to garrison Elsineur with troops, on the first shot
being fired by Russia against the Turks, for the pur-
pose of having the command of the Sound, and to
prevent the Russian fleet from uniting with that of
ti.e Greeks. This runtour, however, rests on vague
authority, but it is Llieved that Russia would im-
ntediately invade Turkey, if it was not for the fear
a a general war, for which the difil2rent Putters are
Ly no means prepared, in consequence of the de-
vressed state of their respective fines ices. So far it
is a fortunate circumstance fur mankind that they
are so poor, otherwise humanity would again be
tortured with all the horrors of universal war, and
a further effusion of human blood. To avoid the
.r:petition of such revolting scenes, the Powers of
Europe should unite and demand emancipation and
security for the Greeks ; the l'orte then must lis-
ten to their voice, and Greece would again flourish
and be free.

The select committee oa ti.c state of the police
are constant in their labours, and arc likely• to obtain
some valuable information that will lead to results
beneficial to the public, and we hope, to the safety
of the metropolis, which swarms with desperate
thieves and robbers of every description. The asso-
c;ation of depraved children, both male and female,
•in the public streets, supplies a constant succession
of thieves, and merits particularly the attention of.
tae committee.
