HANOVER.

BERLIN, Jciva 12.—The Diet at Frankfort is nearly
equally divided as to the Hanover question. There arc
in all seventeen votes. Now, eight of them have de-
clared in favour of the present opposition. Which those
eight are may easily be guessed, as several German con-
stitutional Governments stand all but pledged before their
Chambers to uphold the Ilanover Constitution c,f 1833, viz. ,
Saxony, Wurtemburg, Darmstadt, Baden (the Henscatic
towns of course). As to Brunswick, it is difficult to say
what may be its vote, united, as I believe it is, with that of
Hanover itself. Nassau, I am afraid, is on the ether
side, notwithstanding its Chambers, the Dula being a
staunch advocate of the good olden time. Bavaria is
doubtful. Cassel likewise. Be this as it may, the Line
votes is favour of the Ilanoverian Cabinet have been made
up by the powerful influence of Prussia and Austria, who
have united their exertions to cause the Diet to reject the
patitlons of the opposition, and to advise the Cabinet to
take the initiative in proposing conciliatory measures,
without compromising its anatomy, as it is called, in the
principal question. And lam further given to understand
that this unfavourable issue is in a great part to be ascribed
to the inconsistent conduct of the opposition; for had
they from beginning to end preserved a compact and un-
varying resistance, not even the most puissant vote at the
Diet would have dared to brave the manly demonstration.

HAY HARVEST.—EarIy on Monday morning
mowing became very general in this part of the country.
There is a manifest difference in the weight of the crops
even in adjoining fields, where laid up at different timei.
Such pastures as were fed down to so
:late a period that
the young and tender blades were not sufficiently advanced
to bo affected by the severe frosts of May, are much more
promissing than such as were laid up at an earlier period ;
the young grass, in the latter case, having been, as is sup.
posed, irreparably injured by the frosts. The weather,
however, is at present extremely promising, and the
favourable state in which the hay may be got together will
probably compensate in quality for more luxuriant years,
gathered under less advantageous circamstances.—Sher.

DESTRUCTIVE STORM AT HARBOROUGIJ.
FkIDAI NooN.—Two hours ago we were visited with a
shock of thunder and lightning unparalleled in the expe-

was heard, and the engine ins ytl put into requisition.
Public attention was drawn to a windmill, the property of
Mr. Smith, of Kibworth, which having been struck by the
electric fluid, had taken fire, and though it was quickly'
subdued the damage done to the mill is very considerable,
estimated at eighty pounds. One of the sails was torn
and broke into many pieces ; the massive oak timbers
which sustain the mill were shattered; one side of the
round-house burst; in a word, the whole mill, from its
foundation to its summit, was shaken almost to pieces. A
pig, was killed in the round-house ; but, as though by
a miracle, two boys, sons of Mr. H. Smith, who manages
the mill, escaped unhurt. Mr. Smith was a short distance
from the mill when the catastrophe happened, and was
knocked down by the effect of the shock, as were also
many persons in the town. A daughter of Mr. Cooper,
late of the White Hart Inn, was struck with the lightning,
and has been deprived, it is feared, of the use of her eyes.

In the afternoon of Monday a tremendous
thunder and hail storm visited the town and neighbour-
hood of I3oulogne—such a storm as the oldest resident
never recollects witnessing, lasting from four o'clock in the
afternoon until nearly the same hour the next morning.
Hailstones fell which were as large as walnuts, measuring
three in. in diameter, and weighing nne ounce. Tne,light-
fling was vivid, the thunder awful, and the damage
done to all parts of the town and neighbourhood
very great. 01 700 panes of glass which formed the
skylight of the Arcade d'Herlen, no more than
four remain whole. All the hot and green.hauses, sky-
lights, and many windows which came within range of the
tempest were destroyed; whilst the whole produce of many
farms is entirely swept away, numbers of cattle drowned,
and ploughs and implements of husbandry carried miles
from the places where they stood. At this moment there
are crowds of persons over at Capccure, a considerable
part of which is inundated ; whilst the water at the bridge
falls with tremendous violence 12 cr 14 f: et. It is feared
when the tide comes in to check it, the inundation must be
fearfully extended. It is reported that two or three per-
sons were drowned at Pont-des btiques.

aged 13, who committed suicide by hanging herself, The

poor girl had found a bundle of clothes in the road, and
taking it home, her mother (a poor honest woman), be.
corning alarmed, charged her with having stolen it, and

Although everything must La said to he very

LONDON:
SATURDAY, JUNE 22, 1833.

In the Lords the Archbishop of CANTERBURY took
notice of Mr. SPRING RICE having quoted in the House
of. Commons, the night before, some supposed expres-
sions used on a former occasion by his Grace, and
complained of the inconvenience which he suffers, in
common with no inconsiderable number of politicians,
from having their speeches revived. It would be a
charming thing for statesmen if the press had no records
and the public no memory.
Alter a little conversation, in which Lord LYND-
HURST made the somewhat naive observation, that their
Lordships could not hear two counsel at the same time
—one is generally more than enough to distract atten-
tion—their Lordships settled that Mr. 111311. GE should he
heard against the Jamaica Dill on Friday.
PETER PURCELL then occupied their' Lordships, till
Lord BROUGHAM put an end to the trifling by ex-
claiming—" Surely we have had enough of Mr. PETER
PURCELL r

Lord WINCHILSEA presented a petition for the re-
peal of the Roman Catholic Emancipation Act, and
denounced that Act. In this he was supported by
Lord RODEN. Both Lords BROUGHAM and WICK-
LOW praised the Act, and pointed out some of its ad-
vantages. What the over-righteous part of our Protes-
tant politicians would bring the country to, may
be known by this specimen. They would kindle
civil war in the name of religion. They would
sacrifice the happiness and the lives of thousands in
the name of the God of Mercy. The modern Mouse'',
were his alta .5 not overthrown, would be more Woody
than the MoLocx of antiquity. The Noble Lord who
presented the petition, was not prepared, he said, to
ground any motion on it. He fortunately has not the
power.

A Bill to confine the practice of the Court of Com-
mon Pleas to the Sergeants at-Law was introduced by
the LORD CHANCELLOR.
In the Commons the Redcar Harbour Bill was
lost, after a division, by 118 to 32.
Some time was wasted by the City of London Police
Bill, which was postponed till next Wednesday.
It resulted from conversation, that Sir J. 11PNEnt.,
the Persian Envoy, is still accredited to the Court of
Persia, and receives a portion of his salary, though he is
now in England ; and that Sir FREDERICK MAITLAND
had not been, so grievously insulted at Bushire as has
been st.ited, and received an apology from the Governor
of Bushire.

A series of questions followed, which are as shortly
stated in the report as we could state them.
Sir R. PEEL announced that his party meant fac-
tiously to oppose the vote for an Education Grant on
Monday.
The Prisons Bill was read a third time, after the
bigots bad made an attempt, on account of the clause
allowing Catholic priests to Catholic prisoners, to defeat
the Bill, which the good sense of the House overruled by
126 to :21. Lord TEIGNmouTit made another show of
fight after this division, but gave it up, and the Bill
was passed.

Something like a squabble then took place as to
what Bill was next to be proceeded with ; Mr. Fox
illaut.r desiring to bring on the Metropolitan Po-
lice Bill, and Sergeant TALFouItD the Copyright
Bill. At length the Learned Sergeant was
obliged to give way, and the House went into
Committee to vote the salaries of the Commissioners of
Police. This stage of the proceedings puzzled some of
the Members, and it was a considerable time before they
could understand what the House was about. Finally
the resolution fixing the salaries of the Commissioners
at not more than 1,'.200/. was agreed to.
The House afterwards, under a protest from Mr.
Sergeant TALFOURD, who complained of being ill treated,
went into a Committee of Supply, and some of the
miscellaneous estimates were voted.
The House sat till half-past One o'Clock.

The notice which the Bank of England
deemed it wise to issue, on the 20th, is considered
to be a strong proof of the weakness of that esta-
blishment, and its incapacity to maintain the inte-
grity of its issues against the long continued draw
of adverse foreign exchange. This notice is consi-
dered also to be a breach of contract, with the public,
of so flagrant a kind, that it has been subjected to the
condemnation of every right-minded commercial
man in the City.
By a former notice of the Bank of England,
which would not expire until the 15th of July,
money could be borrowed on several kinds of secu-
rities—by Stocks, India Bonds, Exchequer Bills,
and Bills of Exchange, and at five per cent. in-
tetest, while by its present notice the Bank confines
its advances to " approved Bills of Exchange only,"
advancing its rate of interest to five and a half per
cent. This violation of contract, although no
doubt it will be most commented on, will have, in
reality, far less serious effects than the course the
Bank it simultaneously pursuing in rejecting some
paper. Not only do the Bank refuse to grant
the usual accommodation on securities, hitherto
favoured by its loans, %but it is understood
to have rejected the paper of firs ,
t-rate Joint Stock
Banks, accepted by,.t some of
City, the wealthiest banking-
houses in the vA 1 he object of the Bank Di-
rectors in all this is obvious, and it reuires but
li tie reflection to foresee q
its immed:ate conse-
quencew. The Bank
of England is hard
pressed—its stock of bullion has run low, and if the
demand for
gold is not diminished, it will be involved
in serious difficulties. A violent monetary panic,
should one ensue, roust shake to its foundation the
credit and resources of every merchant and trader
in the country. On the part of the Bank Directors

it has been asserted that prices are too high, and
that orders exist for goods which might be sup-
plied if the contraction of the culency had effected
a sufficient reduction in the prices.
To effect this, and force an :export of the pro-
ducts of industry, is one expedient the Bank Direc-
tors have adopted to save the Bank of England
from gnat danger or a bank restriction Act, which
will produce incalculable mischief, depriving of
employment millions of the operative classes, and
endangering the tranquillity of the country. It
will not only be ineffectual for its intended object,
but will greatly aggravate the evils it is intended to
remedy.

The result of the debate on the Ballot is espe-
cially important in one point of view—it shows
that the minority has made a considerable advance,
and that the question, whatever difficulties it ma)
yet have to contend with, has already overcome the
greatest of all—the overwhelming opposition of the
House of Commons.

The debate itself affords another ground of con.
gratulation. Instead of dealing with the principle
of the Ballot, the speakers, for the most part, ap-
plied themselves to the consideration of how far its
adoption would be consistent with the settlement of
the elective franchise under the Reform Bill. It
would appear, therefore, that the time is past for
discussing the merits of the proposition, and that
nothing remains now but to show either that it is
not inconsistent with the Reform Bill, or that if it
be, the necessity for embracing it is so urgent as to
overrule that objection. When we find the arge-
ments on such a measure growing languid on both
sides, and the discussion gradually dropping its
elementary character, and taking a shape of mere
expediency and convenience, we may fairly assume
that the period of resistance is drawing swiftly to
its close.
The assertion that the Ballot would be a viola-
lation of the understanding upon which the Reform
Bill was passed is intrinsically worthless, and will
produce no other effect upon the country than to
stimulate the people to more vigorous efforts to ob-
tain it. Lord GREY, or Sir JAMES GRAHAM,
or Lord ALTIIORP may. have contemplated in
the Reform Bill a measure that would render the
Ballot unnecessary, and may have distinctly made
up their minds, believing that they had secured by
that Bill the free representation of the constituen-
cies, never to step out of its schedules in search of
any farther means of improving the electoral sys-
tem. But the opinions of individuals, however
distinguished for abilities or public services, are of
no avail against stubborn exigencies and the pres-
sure of public feeling. The crotchet about the
finality of the Reform Bill is already scat-
tered like dust upon the winds ; and there
is not a man in England, Whig, Tory, or
Radical, who is not at this moment thoroughly con-
vinced that we can no more stand still at the Re-
form Bill as it is than that we can stop the pro-
gress of population, or suspend the motions of the
earth. Why then waste time paltering about theo-
ries and abstract principles in the face of accu-
mulating and irresistible facts that must, sooner or
later, bear down all such flimsy opposition ?
We are not aware of any understanding entered
into at the passing of the Reform Bill which should
deprive the people of the right of amending that
Act; nor are we aware that any power was dele-
gated by the country to any individuals to form
such an extraordinary compact ; nor can we admit,
even if such a power were delegated, that it would
be valid either in a moral or a constitutional sense.
The Legislature cannot bind the hands of posterity;
it can only make laws for to-day—it cannot make
laws for to-morrow. The people of 1839 are in
reality as much the posterity of the people
of 1832 as if a century had elapsed .be-
tween them. The experiences and influences
of the interval have all the practical effects of time
on the temper and tendencies of the age ; and this
important truth is rendered still more visible and
impressive in seasons 'of excitement and experiment.
The Reform Bill itself created the very machinery
by which it was to be sustained in the event of
success, or modified and improved in the event of
failure. It created new constituencies, and threw
open the franchise to individuals who never before
enjoyed the right of voting, and who were called
upon under its operation to exercise that right for
the first time. Is it reasonable that these indivi-
duals should be bound by any imaginary agree-
ment between the Legislature and the old constitu-
encies ? Is it reasonable to confer privileges upon
electors, and at the same time to prohibit the legi-
timate use of them ? Is it reasonable to make
new constituencies, and to continue to legislate in
the spirit of the constituencies they displaced ?
Then it must also be recollected that
numerous accessions have been made to
the electoral body since the date of the
Reform Bill. During the five years that have
intervened from that time to the present, the re-
gistration lists have been constantly receiving
fresh infusions of voters, and the natural and un-
avoidable consequence of all this is, that popular
sentiment has been maturing in forms wholly dif-
ferent from those in which it appeared when the
Reform Bill laid the foundation of this progressive
change in the representative system. To remain
as we arc, under such a powerful action of altered
circumstances, would be even more difficult than to
have prevented the pacific revolution of 1832.
But it is wise, while we recognise these pressing con-
siderations, to treat the matter calmly and cautiously.
We do not advocate any rash movement, but we
desire to see vague fallacies abandoned, and specific
improvements set in motion—sl.ch improvements as
are consonant with the genius of our representative
Constitution, and as are likely to remove the obvious
causes of just and universal complaint. We regard
the Ballot as a complete remedy to many exist-
ing grievances amongst the constituencies, and
which will render other changes unnecessary. And
we urge it chiefly, because it is imperatively de-
manded, as a means of giving full effect to the pro-
visions of the Reform Bill—an argument which we
cannot help thinking sufficiently cogent to disarm
the opposition of those who maintain that the Re-
form Bill is adequate to the ends it proposes, and
w o refuse to accede to more extensive Reforms
until that measure shall have been fully developed
in practice.

We also believe that the Reform Bill, if it were
relieved from the impediments that clog its machi-
nery, would be found an efficient instrument for
securing an honest representation of the people.
But it cannot be fairly tried, until the elec-
tors, who derive their franchise under it, are
enabled to vote conscientiously without prejudice to
their Interests. It is not enough that the regis-
tration should be simplified, the rate-paying clauses
repealed or modified, and other matters of detail
accommodated to the convenience of the voters.
When all this work of relief shall have been done,
there will still remain behind the most formidable
ohstacles of all—bribery, intimidation, and coercion.
How is this flagitious evil, eating like a cancer into
the heart of the system, to be sot rid of, except by
the Ballot ? How can we get at the free operation
of the Reform Bill until we have ensured to the
electors the independent exercise of their votes ? If
all the minor difficulties of the present system were
removed to-morrow, we should still be exposed to
that monster of arbitrary power, which forces the
elector into the commission of a fraud upon himself
and his country, and stultifies in practice the whole
theory of the elective principle. We may clear his
path to the booth, but unless we protect him when
he arrives there, the Reform Bill will be just as
much a dead letter as before. We know not how
those who advocate the logical propriety of trying
the Reform Bill fairly, can escape from admitting
the Ballot. It is essential to their own argument ;
and they cannot dispense with it, unless they are
prepared to relinquish the Reform Bill altogether.

There lives, according to a Brighton paper, a man
at Lewes, who takes great pains with his garden,
and he has a neighbour who is very fond of cats.
He of the garden some time ago shot his neigh-
bour's cat, for which he was carried before the
Lewes Bench on Tuesday, when it was established
that he had both killed and buried his neighbour's
favourite. For his defence, it was said that a
man had a right to protect his property, and
it was very vexatious to have the labour of perhaps
a week destroyed by a cat in one night. But he
was told by Mr. ELLMAN, a Magistrate, and great
advocate for starving men, women, and children by
a Corn-law, that he had no right to constitute
himself cat-killer to the parish. His opinion l‘va3
that a cat did infinitely more good by killing vermin
than it did harm by scratching a garden. " Wlnit
do, you mean," our perhaps impatient reader will
ask, "by this cat story ?" Impatient reader, we.
answer, it is an illustration of conduct

you and we are daily called upon to comiler,
and we are even stunned by continually hear-
ing of it. Our Bishops, and those who fol-
low after them, are great fanciers of epis-
copal gardens, and they worry, if they can-
not kill, all Catholic 3, Infidels, Socinians, and
Dissenters, as he of the cabbage-garden killed the
cat. There is no Mr. ELLNIAN to tell them they
have no business to constitute themselves cat-kil-
lers to the parish ; but the STANLEYS, ASHLEYS,
COLQUHOUNS, etc., who meet at Westminster,
encourage the Episcopalians to constitute them-
selves the judges of the faith of other men, and
halloo them on in their worrying and tormenting
career. Instead of fining them, as Mr. ELLMAN
did the Lewes cat-killer, the Legislature gives
splendid revenues and great honours to the Episco-
palian worriers of men who differ from them about
subjects perhaps not quite as important as whether
cats do more harm by scratching in gardens
than good by killing vermin—it places them in col-
leges, it places all the youth of the empire under
their controul, and by so honouring, much encourages
that persecution which Mr. ELLMAN heavily
amerced when it was applied to cats. But the
similitude in one point tells unjustly in favour of the
Episcopalians. In the Lewes case it is not said
that the man of the garden had walled in and
appropriated to himself what belonged to the com-
munity ; he is not accused of usurping the common
good, aird ,killing the animals who, in trespassing
on it, do but follow their natural instincts. But the
Bishops and their followers have walled in the
common good, they have appropriated the Gospel
exclusively to themselves, they declare that they
alone are the successors of the Apostles, the true
and only heirs of salvation ; and though they
cannot, as we have said, kill, they deny civil rights,
deny education, deny an equal • share of all the
funds destined for the general religious instruction
of the people, to all who are not able to bolt, from
the beginning to the end—from the great capital
letter at the commencement to the smallest comma,
the whole Thirty-nine Articles. In a usurped
domain they constitute themselves general cat-
killers, and the Legislature, which should protect
the rights of all, aids and abets both their usurpa-
tion and their persecution.

We were rather surprised to learn from Mr.
O'CoNNELL's speech the night before last, that
the joint education of different sects in Prussia has
turned out a failure. We have no distrust of the
Honourable and Learned Member's assertion, but,
as he has not, we believe, been in Prussia, and it
so completely contradicts our own experience, that
we should like very much to know on what au-
thority Mr. O'CONNELL makes the statement—
to w hat part of the Prussian dominions it
applies, and the date at which he finds the proof
of the failure. It is, indeed, a matter of public no-
toriety that the Catholic Priests of Prussia have
entered into a contest with the Sovereign. Mr.
O'CoNNELL himself, and the Dublin Review, have
carefully and repeatedly informed the public that the
King of PRUSSIA has framed a body of laws, and
artfully contrived his regulations, and bestowed his
rewards, in order to seduce his Catholic subjects
from the faith of their fathers. The whole dis-
pute betwixt him and the Archbishop of COLOGNE,
on mixed marriages, arose from the mutual efforts of
these contending powers, the one to make prose-
lytes, and the other to keep his flock within his
own Church. Now, we can readily . conceive that
the Catholic Priests of the newly-acquired domi-
nions of Prussia on the Rhine should have laboured
effectually and successfully to render vain the
attempt of the Monarch to seduce their flocks, and
dreading the effects of education, should have com-
bined to defeat the plan of education. Mr. O'Cosr-
NELL'S account of its failure was probably only
the expression of their exultation at their presumed
success. What may have happened on the Rhine,
under the very peculiar circumstances of the case,
is no index to what has occurred in other parts of
Prussia, where, if the failure have taken place, it
is a failure after the experiment has succeeded for
about a century. We beg the Hon. and Learned
Member for Dublin, therefore, will be specific on
this important point, and inform the public where
and when the failure of the joint system of educa-
tion has been proved, in what part of Prussia it has
failed, and what are the circumstances which have
brought it about. Mr. O'CONNELL may be in-
clined to conceal the ambition of the Catholic
priesthood from the public notice, but we are not,
any more than we are anxious to promote the
success of the Anglican priesthood ; and if the
wise and kindly efforts of the statesmen of Prussia
to stifle the seeds of bigotry in the hearts of youth
have failed, we should like that the public were in-
formed at whose door lies the guilt.

We perceive, by the Vote paper, that Mr.
EWART will, when the House goes into Commit-
tee on the Sugar Duties Bill, move, as an amend-
ment, that sugars raised by free labour shall he
admitted to home consumption. We heartily con-
gratulate the public upon the circumstance of this
subject being likely to undergo discussion in the
House, because it will be shown that for years past
the West Indians have, with trifling exceptions,
been enabled, by the aid of their monopoly in
sugar, to wring from the industry of the people of
this country very large sums of money in the shape
of excessive price. Our City article, headed "the
price of Sugar," has shown, for months past,
that this excess has amounted to seventeen
pounds per ton, which, on the aggregate
importation of sugar since 1836—the period at
which the negroes were manumitted—would give
an amount equivalent to the compensation paid for
the blacks' freedom, and is in effect the same thing
to the nation as though that compensation had been
forty in lieu of twenty millions. 'We therefore trust
that the friends of the people in the House will sup-
port Mr. EWART'S views, and thereby rid us of an
indirect taxation as enormous as it is unjust. The
West Indians have had enough of our money in all
conscience.

We continue without any news of great political
interest from the Continent. The French jonrnals
of Thursday are altogether as sterile as those of
the last three weeks ; and though the Spanish
papers enumerate sundry petty Carlist and Christino
conflicts somewhat akin to the Irish row, which
ended in the total demolition of an old woman's
tobaceo-pipe, and the German Journals aristocra-
ticise their columns with the speech of the Em-
peror of Austria, at the opening of the Hunga-
rian
Diet ; they contain, nevertheless, very little
worthy the attention of an English reader. The
Nouveliste has the following paragraph respecting
the naval preparations now making by France in
anticipation of a rupture in Syria :
" The reports received at the Ministry of Marine from
the Rear-Admirals commanding the harbours of Brest,
Cherbourg, and Toulon, state that all the vessels which
the Minister had ordered to be prepared for sea would be
ready to join the Levant squadron towards the close of
July. Levies of seamen were in progress throughout all
the maritime districts of France. It is believed that our
naval forces in the East will be divided into two fleets, one
of which will remain at the mouth of the Dardanelles, and
that the other will cruise on the coast of Egypt. They
will remain on those stations so long as war shall not have
been declared, but will unite with the British squadron the
moment that events shall become at all menacing.':

The Chambers met on Thursday, but their pro-
ceedings are of no interest. Advices from the
Spanis frontier confirm the account published in
The Sun of this morning, of the occupation of
Amurrio and Balmaseda by ESPARTERO. Letters
from Madrid of the 13th instant assert that the
Carlist Generals CABRERA and ESPANA have ad-
dressed a memorial to DoN CARLOS, in which they
denounce MAROTO as a traitor, and declare that
they hold themselves at liberty to disobey the orders
of the PRETENDER while he remains a prisoner in the
hands of that chief. This memorial is represented
as having divided all the Carlist functionaries, some
into declared partizans of MAROTo, and others
into as violent supporters of the pretensions of
CABRERA. If the Christinos had the patriotism
and the ability to take advantage of these divi-
sions among their enemies, they would easily send
Don CARLOS to share the fortunes of his worthy
compeer, Don MIGUEL.

h c trial of the prisoners of the 13th and 14th
of May, before the Court of Peers, is fixed for
Monday next. The accused have been removed
to the prison of the Luxemburg, which is strongly
Luarded by troops of the line :
The Madrid Gazette of the 13th 'inst., publiFhes a

Ministry of Marine, and appointed Don Primo de la
Rivera to that post,

The latest news from the East is from the Carlsruhe
Gazette, which, under date of Constantinople. May 29,
sta • the t di-p; t hes from Hafiz Pacha, dated Mty 15, an-
nounce that the Turks had entered Syria without meet-
ing any resistance, and that no act of hostility had oc-
curred between the two armies. A body of Turkish
troops, commanded by Aliz Paella, had marched upon
Adana. The Turkish fleet was about to sail for the coast
of Syria. Great hopes were entertained in Constanti-
nople that an insurrection against the Egyptians would be
declared in Syria.
HUNGARIAN DIET.—The Frankfort Post Ampt Ga-
zette of the 17th instant publishes the following translation
of the Emperor of Austria's speech on opening the Diet
of Hungary on the 6th instant at Presburg :
In order to confirm by all our Government acts what we
have announced several times in solemn terms, that we
desired nothing more earnestly than obedience to the laws
and the maintenance of the institutions sanctioned by ages,
we have convoked the faithful States of the kingdom, and
in finding ourselves amongst them, and ac we propose '
principally to equal our ancestors in their line of confi-
dence in a generous nation, we do not doubt but that the
faithful States will devote their care and attention to
prove that they are worthy descendants of their forefathers,
who have earned for themselves and to Hungary the
imperishable renown of a noble•minded people. Amongst
the measures which are submitted to the examina-
tion of the States there is one which, from its very na-
ture, will meet with support in the noble character of the na-
tion, because it has reference to maintain in the Hungarian
regiments an organization in correspondence with their bra-
very and heroism ; we have, therefore, resolved to treat
with our faithful States respecting this affair, and in
full confidence of their devotion, we are convinced that
they will consider with the same soliditude as we do what
we look upon as the principal object of our Royal func-
tions. Our Royal propositions include what we have de-
cided upon in the interest of public welfare, and we have
drawn them up in such terms that the observations which
the States may present to us on the subject will be favo tr-
ebly received. In communicating ' these propositions we
declare the session open."
The disturbances which took place at St. Amans were
not on the estates of Marshal Soult, as the journa►s have
reported. They arose in consequence of a sale of timber
ordered by the Commune, and it is impossible to assign
any reason for them but the wilfulness and false notions of
a small part of the country people, relative to tights which
they fancy they have to the forests of the State. —Le Mo-
niteur.

We find the following paragraph in the Journal of the
Eastern Pyrennees ( Perpignan) of the 15th The
Spanish steam-boat Delfin arrived yeiterday evening at
Port Vendres, where it landed the Baron de Meer, Cap-
tain-General of Catalonia; General Breton, second in
command in the principality ; a Lieutenant-Colonel, and
an Honorary Secretary of her Majesty the Queen of Spain.
Other passengers said that Baron de Meer had left Bar-
celona at the moment when the Isabella frigate was in
sight of the port with his successor General Valdez."
Major- General Psstin, Governor of the citadel of Bar-
celona, arrived at Perpignan on the 17th.—Commerce.
