inclined to make them feel their depetidence They
prefer being protected by Itissats to being sur-
rounded by affectionate fellow-citizens, and needing
no protection. The Hussars feel their own power
and will make those who can only sleep,onder the
protection of their sabres feel it too. We know
enough of the dashing cavalry to be convinced that
they will make their contempt for their protegeA
manifest. If any person doubt this, let him consult
the Chronicle and the Examiner, concerning the be-
haviour of some cavalry officers to Mr. BRENT, a
" magistrate and a gentleman," and he will find
ample proof of the assertion.
From the correspondence which has been pub-
lished, and will be found in another part of The
Sun, it appears that Mr. BRENT lives in the
neighbourhood of Canterbury, not far from the
cavalry barracks, and that he and his son occupy
land of their own. On the sth of July, six iodi-
viduals on horseback amused themselves riding
over a field of grass laid in for hay. They were
in plain clothes, but Mr. BRENT knew them
to be officers of the 11th Light Dragoons, com-
manded by Colonel Lord CARDIGAN. Mr.
BRENT saw them, and on being warned that they
were committing a trespass, they-made a rude reply
and attempted to ride off. Asked to give their
names, one of these accomplished protectors of the
middle classes replied " Snooks," and one of them
attempted to ride over Mr. BRENT. He followed
them to the barracks, the gate was shut in his face;
he was refused admittance ; he wrote to the Colonel,
the Colonel took no notice of his letter; he wrote to
the Horse Guards, the Horse Guards made in-
quiry of the officers, and gave Mr. BRENT no
redress. Lord HILL thought it was all right ; for
why should not officers trample down the grass of
their slaves, laugh at their attempt •to ride over
them, and threaten to horsewhip them when told
that they are blackguards ? To be sure, Colonel
the Earl of CARDIGAN offered to fight Mr.
BRENT, but Mr. BRENT had no personal quarrel
with the Earl of CARDIGAN, and declined to be
shot by an Earl, as a satisfaction for an attempt to
ride over him by a Cornet. The correspondencz
ought to convince the middle classes that from the
Commander-in. Chief to the youngest Cornet they
have little or nothing to expect. but rudeness and
contempt from that soldiery under which they have
placed ;herriselves.

The National is exceedingly indignant, tbt't this

France, who might have settled the question " without

of the Great Powers. Our Gallic Contemporary does
not tell us how; end cit!, ton nit=s otiluslty

be able to make the discovery. If, as the French Jour-
nals triumphantly announce, in proof of the vast moral and
political aseenclaney of Praline,Admiral LALANDE was
confidentially informed by the Capitan Paella of his in-
tended treason, then indeed had France an opportunity
of performing a disti.iguishe4 pad, but of which her
Admiral lathed tith-r the patriotism or the political
liakicity to avail himself. It is France and not England
that has been doped and disgraced by this affair : and
we are surprisr,d that the varsity of any public writer of
ordinaiy discernment should blind him to this obvious
view of the question. What does the boasted eon&
dence of the C ipitan ainatint to but to this ?
—A conviction that he could not reveal his treasonable
design to an English Officer, and hope to live to execute
it. And yet he could do so—could propose the
betrayal of his country into the powor of her
declared enemy, in the presence of a French Admiral
and a French Prince of the Blood, both with swords in
their hands to preserve the integrity of that country,
and yet feel assured that his secret would not be di-
vulged till his treason Was accomplished! How dis-
torted mtht be the moral vision of a nation when it
glories in what disgraces it! Bat, for the honour of
France, we suspend all belief in the alleged tact so porn

The following extracts, :t addition In the facts, already
stated, include the whole n jthe intelligence contained in
the Vreneb Journals of Monday :
On several points of the Eastern question opinions arc
divided in the Council, and there was more of conjecture
than discussion, and more recital than Polemics, in the
Cab.net. Nevertheless, there was one opinion olconsider-
able weight thrown upon the lapis, viz., the opinion of M.
Wets. It is known that in his interview with the King,
at St. Cloud, M. Tillers xpressod an opinion contrary to
that of the majority of the Council. The majority ap-
peared disposed to send troops, and occupy therewith some
point in the Mediterranean. M. Tiliers• deprecated any
such measure.-- Temps.
FRONTIERS OF SERBIA, AUG. 3.—Prince Milosch has
received an answer from Constantinople to his protesta-
tion, " That he may remain quiet on his property in Wal-
lachia, and wait fur a definitive answer." By the death of
the Sultan, Milosch has lost his only friend at Constanti-
nople. His younger brother Ephraim Obrenowitsch,
the greatest enemy of Milosch, went to Constantinople
after the Sultan's death, and no doubt obtained the
assent of the Divan to what has passed in Servia. It
is not known what success will attend the mission of
Prince Michael- German, the son in-law of Ephraim,
who has gone with the message, and is nut to return
without the Prince. The consent of Milosch would
e tantamount to an acknowledgment of the justice of his
abdication. Prince Milosch may refuse to entrust his now
only son to the care or power of the ambitious Ephraim.
General John Obrenowitsch, second brother of Miloseh, is
still in confinement on account of the late outbreak. The
Turkish troops have deserted in numbers from Rutschuk
and Sdistria.

We are informed by a Correspondent of the
Morning Chronicle that the officers of cavalry find
their own horses, and are at considerable expense to
perform their public duties. What makes young
gentlemen then spend their money and encounter
brickbats at times, to keep watch for the safety
of the middle classes ? If they are not paid in
meal by the State, they must understand how
to pay themselves in malt. They are largely re-
warded by the gratification of their arrogance.
To them belongs the honour and glory of wearing
a sword ; and they can number amongst their
achievements that of riding over elderly gentlemen,
and of terrifying young ladies. The less they are
paid for their services, the more undoubtedly they
will gratify themselves by the indulgence of their
lordly passions, and those who now so much rejoice
in their aid to save them from their own terrors will,
ere long, find their sway hard to bear.

The clergy of the Church of England are con-
stantly complaining that the Dissenters are labour-
ing to pull down the Church. Their everlasting
cry is, " the Church is in danger." If this alarm
be anything more than a pretence—if they are
really sincere in the apprehensions which they
profess to entertain for the 'safety of the Esta-
blished faith, they plainly, though tacitly, ac-
knowledge their belief that their Church
is not, as they pretend it is, built upon
the foundation of the Prophets and Apostles ;
for were it founded on that impregnable rock, it
would, of course, laugh to scorn.not only the bat-
tering rain of Dissent, but the utmost efforts of alt
the Principalities and Powers of the earth leagued
against it.
That the Church is in danger we do not deny.
Such Establishments as it is have every thing to
dread from the extension of knowledge, and that pro•
gressive moral and intellectual advancement which
we believe to be a law of the human species. As the
mind of man disentangles itself from the fetters of
ignorance and prt'judice, which it, has been the
baneful policy of the priesthood to wind around it,
the grossness of those corruptions which Christianity
has been made to undergo before it could be
moulded into an efficient engine of the State
will become more and more apparent ;
men will cease to shrink, as they now too gene-
rally do, from a rigid scrutiny into the principles
and observances which are dictated to them from
the pulpit or the Prayer Book ; they will fearlessly
test these by the only standard of truth which a
Christian ought to admit, the Holy Scripture
of the New Testament, and not hesitate to
remove that mass of rubbish with which the
pure and simple religion of JESUS CHRIST
has been overlaid and choked in the State-bolstered
systems of Priests and Church-mongers.
Such is the rate that sooner or later awaits the
Church of England. In the meantime the very
means taken to prevent the catastrophe by the
supporters of the Establishment, tend inevitably to
hurry it on. Instead of leaving time to do its work
upon the tottering fabric, its .friends, in their
injudicious attempts to prop it up, bring its
rotten and obnoxious points more prominently
into view. They who ought to keep its faults in
the shade—they who should prevent it from being
an eye-sore—they who, above all things, should
take care that it do not clash with the interests, the
comforts, the recreations of the people, are doing
all they can to render it a public nuisance. It is
made a bar to every improvement, whether social
or political. In no direction can we advance without
finding it an obstacle to our progress. It meets us
at every turn in some unseemly form or other.
The people of Ireland demand to be placed on a
footing of (quality with those of England and Scot-
land, in respect of civil rights. What stands in the
way of this act of justice and sound policy ? The
Church I England is overspread with ignorance
and its attendant crime ; it is proposed to bestow
upon the poor the blessings of education. What
hinders ? The Church I That Church whose
duty it is to enlighten the ignorant and reclaim the
vicious, proclaims that these great ends cannot be ac-
complished without an invasion of her rights and pri-
vileges ! And, as if this were not enough, we have
before us the singularly edifying spectacle of a
Bishop perambulating the country to preach up
sectarianism and intolerance, and to denounce in
bitterness of spirit, as an insult to the Church,
the benevolent plan of the Government for afford-
ing to our fellow citizens and fellow Christians,
whom a hard fate has compelled to take up
their abode in distant colonies, the means
of worshipping their Maker according to that
form which their consciences approve. Truly
the Bishop of EXETER is a right worthy suc-
cessor of LAUD. His motto is, " The Church,
the whole Church, and nothing but the Church."
According to him, it is better for man to lose all
sense of a Supreme Being than to worship him
after any other fashion than that prescribed by the
ritual of the Church of England.

AUSTRIA.—The concentration of troops still continued
in the south-eastern provinces of Austria. There are at
present no less than 115.000 mcn in Gallicis, Transylvania,
the Bannat of Tem, swar, and on the frontiers of Bosnia
and Montenegro, besides the military colonies, and the
frontier chasseurs, who can easily put on foot from 20,000
to 30,000 men.

The news published yesterday of the sudden deter-
mination of the five great Powers to assume the settle-
ment of the Oriental question is confirmed by the ac-
counts from Paris, received this morning. There is, it
is true, no further direct intelligence from the Turkish
capital in the French Journals of Monday ; but the fol-
lowing extract from the correspondence of the Augs-
burg Gazelle of the lath instant, quoted in their co-
lumns, removes all doubts of the authenticity of the
statement which appeared in the Debars of the pre-
vious day :—.
CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 29.—1 told you in my last letter
that the Porte had voluntarily placed itself under the pro-
teetion of the five Powers, but that the Ambassadors
had given no answer to the Divan on this subject.
Chosrew Pacha is excessively anxious, as it i 3 thought
that all Mehemet Ali's demands will be accceded to;
and a Turkish envoy has already embarked in a steamer
to go to Mehemet to inform him of this, and that
the Porte would make any sacrifice to secure peace,
hut that they relied upon his equity for not insisting on
the dismissal of Chosrew Pacha, as Abdul Medjid had, as
it were, received him from the hands of his father. But
suddenly that occurred which nobody could account for.
The Ambassadors declared that the Porte had placed itself
under their protection, and that they would unite their
efforts for the pacification of the East. This declaration
produced a deep impression, as it is evident that the Eastern
question has become an European one, and that its speedy
arrangement might be expected. The French squadron •
still maintains its threatening position at the Dardanelles,
and we hear it has been joined by the English squadron.
M. de Boutenieff has announc, d to the Porte that Russia
would consider as a violation of the treaty of Unkiar Ske-
lussi the authorisation given to the French and English t
squadro. sto enter the Dardanelles. The Porte has given
a satisfactory answer. To-morrow ,the -Iciaya will leave
ties kr Alexandria, with the declaration that the Porte
cannot now enter into any ulterior negotiations,: as it can

appears on the tfreatest authority the city
can produce, that 6: the tioci,r'.or t."'f th^ Pink of Eng-
land, that the amount of Exchequer bills offered for con-
version yesterday was much ovcntated, and that it was
" nearer" 700,60/. than 600,0001. The•current rumour
I!l,Ets dl, tht .Ik.vet3t I 0nn,0p01.4, awl; aflorcling to some
vcrsions of it, 1,300,0004 It would be Z-;Urioti',l, if
it were possible, to trace the origin of the city re-
ports on this occasion ; for there never was anything
!!`.ire ankiodsly affiplilletl, or " indicative," as the city
wits exprt ssed it, "of a struggling with the throes
of a difficult bargain," than on this oceasion. The
tlelAte of last night cii the siltlea altegrthef has been.
productive of great amusement here. The notion that it
conveys of Mr. Spring Rice is that of a mar, who, Imving
been terribly oizerreaelied before in all his bargains with
the city, has at length arrived at the knowledge of that
fact, but having attained thereby no higher degree of
capncity, While he is compelled by his oan improv dente
to enter up:tti a nett contract, becomes p,r.ilysed.. and
:if ttrly unable al make arty prOgresS tit all. That any Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer having so very simple an
operation to conduct as a funding of 4M00,0001. of Ex•
chequer bills in a per:od of peace should have b, en driven
to three distinct modes of proceeding, and have been called
upon twice publicly for act explanation of 1,;3 rn,.aning in
propounding them, is one of those wt riders Which future
ages, if the facts were not so broad and apparent, would
not believe.

01 the progress made to-day in the conversion of Ex-
chequer bills, under the second stage of the Ministerial
process, nothing can be said wish certainty, and what
occurred yesterday has shAvn how little the current
rumours of the day are to be depended on. In fact, very
little notice has been taken of the subjfct, and the only
amount named has been the very insignificant sum of
40,0001.

HERALD.—The conversion of the 4,000,0001. of Ex-
chequer Bills continues to be the great topic of conversa-
tion here, anti every hour almost adds e*ideace of the bung-
ling operation of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, al-
though an Evening Coatemporary has pitt forth all arti-
cle in defence of the scheme, apparently froth authority,
which would disgrace the veriest tyro in arithmetic. On
the matter of finance the Chancellor of the Exchequer
must feel that the Government, which, in his depart-
ment, he represents, are eiiirerneiy weak-, e!se re!!:v the
necessity for explaining away a measure not founded on
strand financial principles in the House of Commons, and the
adttlssion that it has not yet worked to the satisfaction of
the Government ?It bas been inquired here to-day whe-
ther the apathy which the public and the large capitalists
atid bankers have shown respecting this conversion has not
some ulterior cause beyond the rate at which the Cn:incellor
of the Exchequer fixed his maximum. The answer is
simply that the present Government, with their bad policy
at home and abroad, have not the confidence of the capi-
talists of the present day which former Cabinets have
enjoyed.

The private tenders for the exchange of Exchequer bills
still continue so limited that not much more than 50 000/.
and upwards has been tifered to-day. The Government
arc indebted to the Bank of England for taking the amount
for which they contracted ; it may in process of time cause
the tenders to fall in, but that must depend upon the
relative state of the Exchequer Bill Market, and that of
the Consols, since but few capitalists in such matters can
be expected to play the Satharitaa with a bungling Chan
cellor of the Exchequer.

OST.--In arrangingthe conditions of the new loan, tho
Chancellor of the Exchequer seems to have calculated too
confidently on the eagernl ss of our capitalists to become
sharers in the extraordinary benefits professed to be there-
in held out to them. Hs has evidently been under the
impression that the prospect of 4 per cent. profit, or some
such trifle, without much chance of loss, would have been
sufficient to place all Lombard street on their knees
before him at the Treasury Chambers on the 16th
instant ; but the Right Honourable Gentleman now per-
ceives his error. He has at length discovered that the
financial and, indeed, the general policy of the present
Government is not so unexceptionable as to score fur it
that unlimited support from the moneyed interest which
was enjoyed by many of his predecessors; and we consider
it a most excellent omen that his eyes are so effectually
opened to the true situation of the Treasury; inasmuch as
the circumstances affords us the best possible guarantee
against any further encroachment upon the taxation of
the country while the public expenditure continues on its
prese..t scale.

We are again this morning without any arrivals of con-

of less importance, as it was stated in the House of Lords
last night, by Lord Melbourne, that hopes were entertained
of maintaining the power of the Sultan and preserving the
integrity of the Ottoman empire, by the complete co-
operation and agreement of the Five Great Powers, and
their determination to act together.
No correct information can as yet be obtained in respect
to the. subscriptions at the Bank for the amount of the fund-

MEETING OF CHARTISTS.—The first out-of-
door Meeting which has been held in this ne:ghbourhood
since the Birmingham riots, took place on Saturday last
at Cranston-hill. in the Anderston district. The hour
chosen was six P Bt., when it was expected that a mighty
asst mblasre would he gathered together after the dismissal
of the mills. The affair, however, was a decided failure,
and the people of Anderston went about their ordinary
business with the most perfect apathy. At no time, in
fact, did the meeting comprise more than 350 persons. and
a number of these were mere boys. The Magistrates of
Anderston, as a precautionary measure, sent to the Glas-
gow Police-office for assistance, when Captain Miller
readily dispatched twenty-five men from the reserved force
under the charge of No. 4 division officer M•KaV ; they
:ettained in readiness at the
..nderstoil Police-oSs'o. but
thelir services were unnecessary, as fhe Meeting became
et4net before eight o'clock.— Glasgow Herald.
