July. The defterdar is gone to Bagdad, to demand
money from the Pacha, but it is very doubtful whether
he will obtain any, as that Pacha has long acted as if
wholly independent.
It is reported that the yellow fever has broken out at
Smyrna, and that from 15 to 20 persons daily fall vic-
tims to it.
SWITZERLAND, Avc. 27.—The last accounts from
Paris say that the French Government has e:pressed•itself
favourably to the Swiss troops, and it is hoped that they
will enjoy the benefit of the article of the capitulation pro-
viding for the case of their being disbanded, as they now
are.

By a letter dated Bonne on the Rhine, which
will be found in another column, as extracted
from the Herald of this morning, it appears that

several symptoms, if not of positive dissatisfac-
tion, at least of restlessness, have betrayed them-
selves at Cologne and its neighbourhood. The
Landwehrs, a provincial body of soldiers who
answer to our local militia, except that their
military duties are of a sterner and more un-
remitting character, dissatisfied with a recent
ordinance which prolongs the period for which
they are to be called into exercise, have evinced
such symptoms of insubordination as to suggest
to Prince WILLIAM of Prussia the prudence of
diminishing the number of troops assembled for
the review at Coblentz, by despatching a large
body of men to the city whence the refractory
Landwehr emanated. Had these symptoms of
uneasiness on the part of the Cologne Militia
occurred at any other period, they would scarcely
have occasioned much notice ; but at the
present juncture, when all Europe is in a most
inflammable state, and a single spark may be

sufficient to light up a general conflagration,
the end of which no man can foresee ; when the

people are everywhere clamouring for their rights,
and awaking to a sense of their power; in Prussia
more especially, where the long-forgotten, long-
delayed Charter, promised by the KING in a
moment of emergency, is the subject of very
general consideration—at such a crisis no popular
movement, however local or restricted be its origin,
can be looked on with indifference, or passed over
as a thing of no moment. It is not in the sum-
mer season that the mountain rill is dangerous

to man and property ; it is in the winter, when
elements are convulsed and storms are abroad,
that its fury is to be apprehended, when it swells
to the size of a torrent, and carries death and
desolation in its course. We look on the late
riots (if they may be called so) at Cologne and
Aix-la-Chapelle, not so much as being impor-
tant per se, as being the harbingers of future
troubles to the Prussian Government. The
KING has the same part to play at Berlin that
the Prince of ORANGE has at Brussels. The
watch-word of their safety is the same in
both places. It is moderation. The Prussians
and Flemings have much to complain of ; they
have a right to require concessions from their
respective Governments ; to the former a Con-
stitutional charter is owing, to the latter, a re-
mission of taxes, a share in the Executive, and
privileges equal to their Dutch neighbours. Both
countries we hope will succeed in gaining their
just rights. If not, we know neither King nor
Statesman who can presume to guarantee the
peace of Europe from one month to another.

A, Correspondent of the Morning Chronicle,
who signs himself 0. P. Q., and whose com-
munications from Paris teem with intelligence
expressed in a pointed and animated manner,
states that the people of France are manifestly
dissatisfied with their present Government, and
feel that it neither " understands the power,
the wishes, nor the wants of those who made
the Revolution." 'We cannot but think that there
is much exaggeration in this statement. At any
rate we hope so. The French Government have
not yet had a fair trial. The time has been too
short to allow them to act up to their own or
their country's expectations. Already they have
done much to inspire public confidence ; and if
they exhibit the inclination—as time and cir-
cumstances may permit—to do more, we do
not know what just cause of complaint can
be urged against them. The greatest
error they have yet committed is, we think,
the conciliatory style in which they have
treated, and still continue to treat, the old
Royalist party. Had they evinced more energy
on this one point, they would have done greater
credit to their own sagacity, and increased their
claims on public gratitude. But here they have
too unequivocally shown not timidity but
indecision, and it is by energetic measures
alone that revolutions can be carried on with
success. Meantime the Royalists are not
grateful for such lenity, far otherwise, they are
emboldened by it to foment the jealousies of
party, excite desperate, and intimidate more
quiescent spirits. We have no doubt that they
have had a considerable hand in occasioning the
late disturbances at Paris and elsewhere. Such
intrigues should at once be put an end to. There
are periods when forbearance is weakness, and
when decision is the first of public duties.

By the Charles Grant, Indiaman, arrived
this morning, and which left St. Helena on the
27th March, mercantile accounts have been
received to a late date from China, Singapore,
&c. The letters front the latter port are dated
on the 26th March, and state that there was
much activity prevailing there in trade, the usual
supplies of Chinese produce having arrived. For
British goods, however, there was but a slack
demand, and it was expected that but little
goods of English manufacture would be taken
this year by the. Chinese, although it was
understood that the consumption, was rather in-
creasing in the interior of China, especially
cotton yarn. The Chinese, on an avbrage, elts-
posed of goods.at Singapore to the extent of
frOm 250,000 to 300,000 dollars annually, but
it was not expected that their purchases this
season of British goods would amount to
more than, , 8,000 dollars. The sale of
Nankeens was comparatively small, the demand
fur them havinepartially subsided, but China
silks sold readily, and were stated to be of im.
proved growth. Tho Chinese gave. a Very alarm-
in, account of the ravages. of a moat _extensive
colinflagration, which had occurred at Canton
Just as they were leaving, and which had. de-
