RETREAT OF THE RUSSIANS.

BELGRADE, June 29.—The retreat of the Russian
army into Wallachia continues, and the right hank of
the Danube must at this moment be evacuated entirely,
with the exception of the fortified positions of Matschin,
Toultscha, and Isaktscha. The concentration is being
operated in Moldavia, and in the northern part of Wal-
lachia, on the frontiers of Transylvania. It is a com-
plete change of front with 80 leagues of ground lost,
50,000 men hors de combat, left on the field of battle, or
carried off by illness, and a profound insult to the honour
of the Russian flag.

THE RUSSIAN SQUADRON IN THE PACIFIC

MAURITIUS, May B.—Admiral Stirling has sent de-
spatches to Admiral Diguerre, commanding at Re-
union, requesting his co-operation to effect the capture
of the Russian ships in the Eastern seas. The French
frigate, Joan d'Arc, 50, is here to repair some trifling
damage. She is to sail for China in search of the Rus-
sians as soon as her repairs are completed.

ROYAL HIGHLAND SCHOOL SOCIETY.

The dinner for this charity having been postponed for
this year, the secretary has been sedulously engaged pro-
pitiating the pious aid of the clergy. On Sunday, the 25th,
the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury preached in Portman
Chapel, Baker-street, to a crowded audience, when a col-
lection of 551. was made. On Sunday last the Rev. Ronald
Macpherson made an eloquent appeal to his congregation
in the Scotch Chapel, Swallow-street, Piccadilly, both
morning and evening, when the collection amounted to
331. The rev. gentleman, in describing the woes and
wants, and the unrepining endurance of the people of the
North, brought tears into the eyes of many of the assembly.
He described with force and fidelity the vast advantages
which the Highlands and Islands of Scotland had derived
for a period of nearly 150 years from the opera-
tions of this society, which had rescued so many
thousands from ignorance and poverty to seek and to
obtain a livelihood in a foreign land, add who have
become an honour to their country and to religion.
In alluding to the society's schoolmasters, he said that
many of them were men of education, capable of giving
ini

k

LORD ERROL.--The misunderstanding which oc-
curred between the Earl of Errol and his Colonel has
been amicably arranged to the satisfaction of all parties,
and Lord Errol has returned to his duties. Every one
is exceedingly pleased at this termination, as Lord Errol
is very popular in his brigade,--H •ld Varna Cures.

NEW COURT.

Russell Gurney, Esq., Q.C., sat in this court during the
morning, trying prisoners for passing base coin. There
are twenty prisoners committed for trial for this class of
offence, and all the offences are of the usual character, the

sixpences.

THE NEW SOCIETY OF PAINTERS IN WATER CO.
LOCES.—His Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended
by Colonel Biddulph and the Hon. Capt. De Ros,
honoured this society with a visit yesterday. His Royal
Highness was pleased to express his great satisfaction
at the steady progress of this society.
ROUEN.--The letters from Rouen state that the
market for manufactures was inactive, but that some
revival was anticipated, owing to the approaching fair
at Beaucaire.
THE PROPOSED 2,000,000/. OF EXCHEQUER-BONDS
.--
was understood that at the hour for closing the sub-..
scription lists at the Bank of England for the proposed
2000,000/. of Exchequer-bonds at 98i, the full amount
had not been quite made up. There was considerable
ease in the money market yesterday, but the discount
houses offer 41 per cent. for deposits for fixed periods.

country, confirming the signs of its progress.

to invite his Excellency the Count Walewsky, the French
Minister, to an entertainment during the month of June.

towns as possible ; thus to give effect to the sympathy
and satisfaction felt at the union between France and
England, so worthily supported by his Excellency.

INTENDED RUSSIAN MERCIES TO THEIR

PRISONERS.
A letter from St. Petersburg of the 30th ult.
appears in the Cologne Gazette, and shows how the
Russians are " reckoning their chickens before they
are hatched :"—" I am now looking at a regulation
drawn up and relating to the treatment of pri-
soners of war. It will be published in a few days.
It comprises 47 paragraphs, and concerns those
who may be taken with arms in their hands on the
field of battle or on board ship, and who may belong
to this or that nation. Thus the Hungarians, when
made prisoners, aro to be sent to Siberia, or else
given up to Austria : the Turks will be treated as
prisoners of war generally are ; but strangers and
Christians serving in the Turkish ranks, as also
renegades, will be treated as common felons.
Medical men are iu the same category as the
Turks, that is, simple prisoners of war, and so are
all that are not virtually active combatants. The
Poles, like the Eioganaus, and all the prisoners,

SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

LIGHTS AND BEACONS IN TUE GULFS OF FINLAND AND

BOTHNIA.

The Imperial Senate of Finland has resolved, and notice
has been given, that all lights in the Gulf of Finland will
not be lighted until further notice, with the exception of
those of Norskars and Euskars, in the Gulf of Bothnia;
these will, however, be extinguished as soon as a ship be-
longing to the enemy makes her appearance in the neigh-
bourhood.

The pilot stations on the outer coast of the Gulf of Fin-
land, and the inner pilot station at the Torkala Odde, as
also those of Aland and Signilskar, are to be removed to
the nearest place inside the islands or to the mainland,
with tho exception of the one at Pellinge of Glasholme,
which will remain for the purpose of piloting vessels going
inside the islands along the Sodra Pellinge.
All the pilots to the northward of Aland, and along the
coast of the Gulf of Bothnia, are to remain at their sta-
tions also until further notice, except in the event of any
vessel of the enemy appearing, when they are to depart
without delay.
All beacons and seamarks established on the outer coast,
and at the entrance from the sea, are to be removed, and,
if necessary, all the marks and beacons on both sides of
the fairway of the the inner pilot station at Forkala Odde.
Should Hango Odde be occupied by the enemy, the pilots
are to depart, and all the seamarks are to be taken away
from Jungforasonna, and from both entrances to Pargas.

LIVERPOOL, MAT 8.

The New City of Cork, from Barbadoes, at this port,
saw, on the 25th ult., in lat. 45, 17 N., long. 30, 20 W., a
dismasted and abandoned ship (supposed to be the Argo,
from Baltimore to this port, reported by the Portland),
bearing N.E., and bore down to her, and found her to be
a ship of about 1,000 tons, with painted ports, gilt billet-
head, main and mizenmasts gone close to the deck, fore-
mast, bowsprit, and jibboom standing, &c. ; "New York"
on her stern, but name gone ; to all appearance a new ves-
sel, with perfect rudder and wheel-house ; did not appear
to ue waterlogged, or long abandoned.

The Eagle, froth. Laguna, at this port, left loading the
Providence, Lord Gough, and Novidade.

The Nonsuch arrived this morning from Alexandria in
30 days, occupying 10 days from Gibraltar.
The wreck of the Pomaquid, reported March 19 aban-
doned, was passed April 8, lat. 28, long. 58.
The Siberia, from St. John's, New Brunswick, passed
April 24 a large quantity of ice, and continued passing it
for two clays. She left St. John's, New Brunswick, April.
19, and has made the passage in 174 days. The James
Fernie sailed the same day, and the Manuel Alorrant was
all ready, and would leave next day.

IRON GUN BOATS.

Mr. KENNEDY wished to inquire of the First Lord
of tbs. Admiralty, whether both the admirals in command
of -our fleets have not asked earnestly for gun boats ;
send has not Admiral Napier asked for iron gun boats
to meet those of the Russians, which were made by a
house in Liverpool ; did not Scott Russell offer to pro-
vide in a few weeks the craft wanted ; and has
not the Admiralty refused to provide iron boats ? and
has it not ordered wooden boats to be built and bought,
which wooden boats will draw twelve feet of water, in-
stead of five, like the iron boats ? Has the Government
ascertained whether any gun-boats have been, or are
being built in the Finland Harbour of the Gulf of
Bothnia, and if so, what number, by the latest accounts ?
and has the Government taken the necessary steps to
efficiently protect the British mercantile flag navigating
the Gulf of Bothnia on the Swedish coast ?
Sir J. GRAHAM really hoped the house would par-
don him if he exercised some discretion and declined to
answer these questions. (Hear.) He did not think it
would be possible to conduct the war in a satisfactory
manner if questions of this sort were to be answered ;
but for the satisfaction of the hon. gentleman he would
admit at once that the gun boat force of the Russians was
or a very formidable character, but, at the same time,
it was only right that he should add that ministers had
taken every precaution to meet this formidable force,
and for the protection of British commerce in the Gulf
of Bothnia.
TENANTS' COMPENSATION BILL.

Mr. P. URQUHART asked the Chief Secretary for
Ireland what measure the Government intend to take

with respect to the Tenants' Compensation Bill that
passed the House of Commons last session.
Sir J. YOUNG said there was no doubt that Ireland
looked with the greatest interest to these bills, but it
was perfectly impossible for him to give an answer to
this question, seeing that the bill had been referred by
the Lords to a select committee.

FRANCE.

It is stated on good authority in Paris that Rus-
sia recently notified to Prussia that she had de-
termined to address an ultimatum to Austria,
calling upon her to explain her conduct, and
summoning her, rather peremptorily, to declare
herself either for or against, but, at all events, to
declare herself. The Prussian Minister replied,
that the Emperor of Russia need not give him-
self the trouble of addressing an ultimatum to
Austria, as he (the Prussian) well knew, and
could tell beforehand, the nature of the answer
that would be given. Nearly at the same time
Austria informed Prussia that she also was to ad-
dress an ultimatum to Russia, calling upon her to
account for her intrigues, and her revolutionary
attempts in the States of neighbouring Sovereigns,
and in particular Montenegro, where she (Austria)
was determined to put down by force the revolt.
She also reproaches Russia with her conduct in the
Principalities, and insists upon their evacution.
When ultimatums of such a kind are passing to
and fro we may soon expect something more

serious.
The Pays, in noticing the announcement that
two camps, one of 100,000, the other of 50,000,
men are to be formed, with a view to greater cer-
tainty and promptitude in supplying the troops
who may be required for the Black Sea or the
Baltic, says it is probable that in addition to ope-
rations by sea, troops will be landed from time to
time on different points of the Russian territory.
If this be the intention, and it is difficult to imagine
any other means of rendering the war a short one
than attacks which must deprive the Emperor of
Russia of his principal resources, and at the same
time inspire an earnest desire for peace inthe minds
of all the influential persons of his Court, who can
feel for the calamities to which th
people of Russia
will be exposed by the persevering injustice of the
Emperor, or who have a perception of their own
interest to to know that such attacks will deprive
them of their chief sources of revenue, the measure
announced by the Illonit elti• must give general sa-
tisfaction. It maye be. approved. of besides in an-
other point of view. Whatever confidence the
Governments of France and England may have in
the Cabinet of Prussia, it may be well to show
that they are fully prepared to meet any contin-
gency which may arise from a departure from the
policy which is dictated by reason and justice to
that Cabinet. No demonstration of this kind may

perhaps be necessary, but it can give no offence,
and it may have the effect of lowering the tone of
the partisans of Russia in the Prussian capital.
The establishment of the camp between Mont-
reuil and St. Omer is thought to be quite as much
directed towards Prussia as towards the Baltic or
the Gulf of Finland, and in case Prussia showed
symptoms of foul play, it is not improbable that
that army, joined by a fonaidablo Dosigivi ontin.

THE DANUBE.

The latest authentic news from the Principalities 1
shows that the grossest falsehoods have been cur-
rent with regard to the Russian feats of arms in
the Dobrudscha. Silistria has never been bom-
barded at all, except by stray shots fired from the
left bank of the Danube. The " seas of fire,"
which certain letters have reported, refer to the
results of shots fired by the Turks themselves from
their fortifications. Rassova has not been taken
by the Russians, and the Turkish line between
Rassova and Silistria has not been broken. The
Turks inaugurated their taking possession of Little
Wallachia (evacuated by the Russians) by distri-
buting provisions to the peasants ruined by the
Russian occupation.
Letters from Marseilles, by the Tabor, state
that before the bombardment of Odessa the cruizers
of the allied fleets captured some Russian prizes in
the Black Sea, and that 8,000 muskets, shipped
from Antwerp to the Greek insurgents, had been
seized at Malta.

SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the 3d contains a royal

600,000 reals (150,000 f.) to the Minister of Fi-
nance for arming the corps of carabineers. The
decree abolishing passports had come into opera-
tion. The taxes collected during the month of
April exceeded the collection of the previous
month by 5,000,000 reals. The ex-Queen of the
French, who was about to leave Spain, had sent a
am of 4,000 reals to the fund for the restoration
of the cathedral at Seville.

EDUCATION IN SCOTLAND.

Lord BROUGHAM presentee a petition from a place
in Scotland in favour of an uniform and unsectarian
system of education for that country. The noble and
learned lord expressed his regret that the cause of edu-
cation had suffered so much and so long, and still suf-
fered, from the conflicting feeling rather than the
conflicting interests of the different sects of the
people into which the population of the three king-
doms were unhappily divided. He had often
brought forward carefully-considered measures on
-the subject ; but they had invariably been defeated, on
the one hand by the prejudices of the Established
Church, and on the other by the desire of the Dissenters
to obtain a victory over that establishment. He hoped,
however, we were on the eve of obtaining some benefi-
cial measure that would provide for popular education.
The bill proposed for Scotland was grounded on a salu-
tary compromise between the various sects in that
country ; and, as at present advised, he should recom-
mend it to the adoption of their lordships when brought
up from the other house.

EXCHEQUER BILLS BILL.
This bill was brought up from the Commons by Mr.
Brotherton, anti read a first time.
UNAUTHORISED NEGOTIATIONS BILL.
Lord CAMPBELL, in moving the second re.tding of
this bill, said it extended the penal law of the country.
Ile hoped it would operate only by way of preventing
the evil against which it was directed, and, after it passed
into law, such evil would cease to exist. The bill would
not interfere with any natural or constitutional right of
the subject. Legislation on the subject was called for
by the evils already experienced, and the still greater
evils to be apprehended, (Hear.) There would not
be the slightest doubt, that, by the law of
nations, negotiations between independent States could
only be legitimately carried on by the Government of
those States, or by ministers or ambassadors duly autho-
rised for the purpose. The necessity for such a measure
as this had been felt in the United States. When Adrans
was president of the republic, and Jefferson vice presi-
dent, a bill was introduced into Congress, and passed
into law, making the offence of a citizen entering into
unauthorised negotiations on behalf of the United
States with foreign powers, a misdemeanour, punishable
on conviction by a fine not exceeding 5,000 dollars, and
imprisonment for a term not less than six months, or
more than three years. The present bill treated the of-
fence also as a misdemeanour, but inflicted merely a no-
minal punishment. The United States Bill became law
in 1799, by large majorities, and he was informed that
it had worked most beneficially, as from that period
until now there had not been a single prosecution upon
it, the whole citizens having faithfully and religiously
observed its provisions.
