THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1838.

(1838-1839), The expenditure is estimated at florin-
-44,249,264, which is 437,780 less than that of the
current year. This expenditure will be defrayed by the
means enumerated by his Excellency, which are the same
as those voted last year. The integrel payment of the in-
terest of the National Debt us usual. Lastly, his Excel-
lency presented the accounts for 1837, and various c-m-
-parative tables, all of which were referred to the Sections,
an the Chamber adjourned indefinitely.
BRUiSELS, OCT. 20.—The Me.ssager de Gand men-
tions a 'report that the Government intends to propose to
the Chambers in their approaching Session a project of law
modifying the present tariff of duties on the importation of
foreign corn—the plan is said to be to subject wheat to a
fixed and invariable import duty, not exceeding 15 or 16
francs, whereas it is new generally 37f. 50c. It is not set-
tled about the proposal respecting foreign rye.
Deteezto, OCT. 7.—lt becomes more and more evi-
dent that in the arrest of the merchant M. (who is said to
have harboured Polish Emissaries) of which we have
before spoken, the energetic interference of our vigilant
police was exercised at the, right moment. This occasion
afforded a striking proof of the spirit of espionage of the
Paris police ; a notice, that from Paris to Dantzic, pointed
out a room in a house in Dantic in which there was a pro-
jecting chimney, and behind it a vacsnt space between that
and the wall ; here there was; under the floor, a place
through which the Emissaries escaped. This was found to
be really the case, a receptacle unknown even to the master
of the house himself, was found under the floor just large
enough for two persons who crept into it to crouch together
on a stone seat that was in it. The whole was covered
with waxed silk, and had concealed the Emissaries and their
dangerous papers.—(Lcipsic Allgemeine Zeitung.)
FRONTIERS OF PRUSSIA AND POLAND, SEPT. 24.
Accounts from Warsaw speak of numerous arrests that
had taken place there. It is believed that the Russian
Government has discovered the traces of another consriracy.
ODESSA, SEPT. 13.—While iron railways are laying
down in the North of Russia, measures are in progress in
the South to make the Dnieper navigable. A canal, by
which the first cataract in that river is avoided, has already
been dug, under the direction of Lieutenant-Colonel Schy-
pea', of the Engineers. The works are commenced :fur
rendering 11 other cataracts in the Dnieper navig ib!e, and
it is hoped they will be completed by the end of August
next year. Thus there is a prospect of a very easy corn-
eiunicetion bower n the Baltic and the Euxine, and by
means of the Don, between which and the Wolga a canal
is begun. these two seas will have a communication with
the Caspian. A company established last year for the na-
vigation of the Dnieper has already a capital of' 8 millions
of rubles. It is having several steam-boats built, the en-
!fines of which are to come from E,tgland. The seat of
the company will be at Kiew, where large magazines for
their goods are to be erect( d.
Letters from the frontiers of Servia, dated the sth in-
stant, state that Colonel Hodges, the British Consul, had
returned from Constantinople to Pelgrade, with, it is said,
the most satisfactory intelligence for Prince Ali!osch re-
specting the negotiations he hail entered into with the
Porte for the re-ergan;zation of the Servian Government.
Colonel Hodges, immediately on his arrival, sea a courier
to London with important despatches concerning- the affairs
of the East. All the Turki,-1 fortresses along the Danube
had been supplied with provisions, and would, it was be-
lieved, be placed on the war footing.
The Frankfott Jazer4al of the 16th states, under date
Gothland, 28th ult., that a Russian squadron had made its
appearance on the eastern coast of that Island.
BRODY (AUSTRIAN GALLICIA), OCT. 6.—We have
received letters from Kiew, announcing that Russia is now
meking- most extensive military preparations. Field Mar-
shal Paskewitsch reviewed in that city 12 regiments of in-
fantry, eight of cavalry, and a brig:ule of artillery. This
corps of troops, consisting in all of 40,000 men, 12,000
cavalry, and 120 pieces of artillery, is intended to reinfot co
the at my of the south. The same destination has been as-
signed to the regiments of Hussars and Lancers, which have
been quartered some time on the extensive domains of
Hansen), confiscated from Count Alexander Potocki, to esta-
blish thereon a military colony. 'file Director of the arsenal
ot. Kiew had peen ordered to prepare 60 pieces of heavy ar-
tillery, '20.000 muskets, 10,000 sebres, and as many pair of
pistols, which are to be conveyed without delay to Kilia-
nova. The artillery is intended fur the army of the south.
With r-gard to the other arms, it is supposed that Russia
means to send them to the Montegrin tl, or to place
them in the hands of the Buleari ins, and the other
Sclavonian people, and to excite them to insurrection
against Turkey, in case the latter should not withdraw
from the alliance of England. During the review, the
Field Marshal addressed the soldiers and officers in the
most warlike terms, and told them in a clear tone that he
ould shortly place himself at their head, and lead them
to victory.
General Kounseff, the best military writer of Russia af-
ter Gener:d Joinini has been attached to the . staff of the
southern army, as its historiographer."—CoUiinert*..
N, yrs has been received f+ um the Coast of Geineaestet-
that General Veneer had suppressed the insurrection

martial, and executed ort the spot where Mr. Cremer raid

in the time of Charles V., have better received an ambas-
sador coming to represent the province on whose dominions
the sun never set: It was not for a monarchy of such mag-
nitude that this display was made, but fora poor little Queen,
who has no money with which to pay her ambassadors, no
more than her soldiers--who has still a palace, but who
will soon be without a capital. It is for the ambassador
of such a sovereign that the King of the French sends
the state carriages, but to whom he will not render the
slightest assistance which she seeks in order to avoid
the approaching catastrophe. It is a remarkable toe-
trast to display this magnificence in compliment to a go-
vernment which he allows to die of hunger. What has
this Marquis to do in Paris when he knows beforehand
that he will receive nothing of whatever kind that he may
seek ? What communication can a government expect
from him, who has or can have nothing but disasters to an-
nounce ? What signifies this pomp in the intercour eof
two Governments, of which one cannot do without that as-
sistance which the other is determned to withhold? Does
the Cabinet of the Tuilleries believe that its official polite-
nesses given to the Christino Government is enough to main-
tain it in spite of the victories of Don Carlos? Has the
Queen's Government fallen so low as to hope to extend its
duration by these sterile marks of a useless bienveillancc
The French Government will doubtless not take
the trouble to answer these questions, but we do no:
believe that, on that account, it is absolutely a waste
of time to propose them. The mere ringing them in
the ears of the KING, may disconcert some incipient
scheme of tyranny. With respect to the Quadruple
Treaty—the diplomatic pledge of so many bright
hopes so shamefully abandoned by Louts PHILIPPE
—the Courier Francais goes on to observe :
England had seriously taken this treaty, which she
undertook to execute with energy and conscience. By
leaving her to act alone, by refusing her our concurrence.
we, at the end of four years' inertness and indifference,
drove her to follow our shameful and dishonest policy. The
disbanding of the British Legion marked the last sigh of
the treaty of the Quadruple Alliance. This treaty, from
which such happy results were expected, has only served
to show the impotence and the sterilityof an alli tree between
England and France—of this alliance, which was one
reeresented as one of the greatest results of the Re-
volution of July, and which indeed might have hal that
character. Now, the work silently pursued by the Go-
vernment of the 9th of August is nearly accomplished ; all
intimacy between us and Eneland has ceased. They
are aipeople too advanced in liberty, to have a good under-
standing with a country like ours. It suits us one hun-
dred times better to he tile friends of Don Carlos than Lord
Palmerston—to follow the standard of Maroto rather than
that of General Evans—to associate ourselves with the
Novenas of the Pretender rather than the meetings of the
English Radicals, who encourage amongst us the petition
for Electoral Reform. At this time, when the cause of
Don Carlos appears certain to triumph on the first favour-
able wind which may blow for it, France has just given a
touching proof of her solicitude for this Pretender
ago,eten had n
derand his
august family. The police who, six years
perceived his passage through France, appears to have
recently been seized with a sleep not less profound, that
is, at the moment precisely when the Infante de Beira,
(late sister-in-law and the future wise of Don Carlos)
accompanied by the Pretender's eldest son, were about to

of his political interests. Will not the Pretender be ever
grateful for such immense services, rendered with so much
good grace and disinterestedness? But, it is said, why
then make so touch of the Queen's Ambassador, ,and re-
ceive him with su, h pomp ? Why show so much affection
and graciousness to the Queen at the moment when we are
giving the coup de grace to her cause ? In our turn, we
say why refuse us the glory of establishing en absolute
Prince and mystifying a Princess who has still the bonhomie
to call hers, If the " Queen Constitutional ?" Why, then.
refuse us this little recreation ? Is it because it brings
with it, in consequence, a jugglery or another falsehood ?
The compliment which the writer here pays to the
energetical good faith of England is not wholy de-
served. Had Lord PALMERSTON, disregarding the
notoriously disreputable conduct of the French KING
with respect to this treaty, undertook singly and alone
to enforce its strict observance as far as concerned
this country, Don CARLOS would have been driven
out of Spain upwards of two years ago. Lord PA L-
ERSTON should either have (lone more, or he should
have done nothing. We should either not dabble in
such a matter at all, or we should render our inter-
ference so efficient as to remove all doubts with regard
to the result. Respecting the closing reference to the
possible accession of Dun CARLOS, we can-
not be persuaded that even Louts PHILIPPE could
reconcile it to his loose ideas of the dignity of the
French Crown to suff,l such a tertninavon of the
civil war to disgrace the policy of Western Europe.
Should Louts PIIILIPPE forget that he is him-elf a
Constitutional Sovereign—the living and reigning re-
presentative of the supremacy of public Opinion—he
cannot forget that he is a Frenchman, and the deputed
guardia'n of the national honour, which is pledged to
uphold the throne of Queen Donna Is A B EL LA.
The Siecle contains a well-written article on the
subject of the system of espionage maintained, both at
home and abroad, by the French Police. 'Hue follow-
ing extract from it must be gall and wormwood to the
Minister of the Intl rior :
The secret police of our Cabinet, find;ng nothing to do
at home, in consequence of the calm attitude of the coun-
try, and being at a loss for a pretext to justify the allow-
ance of the millions it costs us, is now placed at the dis-
position of foreign Powers. It ha: already obtained, in its
new functions, successes which gained for it the congratu-
lations of absolute Sovereigns, and must have flattered its
vanity in the highest degree. At the moment when the
northern Cabinets required the expulsion of foreign refueees
from Switzerland, our Cabinet had the signal glory of fur-
nishing the most complete list, and when some (if those un-
happy exiles attempted to make their way through Ger•
many, it was our Cabinet who gave the first intimation of
their project to the Governments of that country. The
same thing occurred on the frontiers of Italy. At a later
period, during the affair of Cologne, the Cabinet of Ber-
lin was likewise apprised by ours of the movements of the
Belgian clerev, and of the correspondence it kept up with
that of the Rhenish nroviiices. No political refugee was
ever known to proceed towards the northern frontier with-
out being instantly denounced to the foreign police.
There is very little domestic news of any interest in
the Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday. A Royal
Ordinance rescinds the Address of the Council-Gene-
ral of the Lower Loire for the removal of the Prefect,
on the ground of its interfering with one of the most
sacred prerogatives of the Crown—the right of ap-
pointing all public officers. In what way the as-
sumed rights of the Crown are invaded by the exercise
of the right of petition on the part of the people of
France, we confess ourselves quite unable to determine.
The following extracts from the Journals include
what other intelligence they bring of any interest :
A private letter from Bayonne, dated the lath, says,—
" The muskets, powder, and cannon landed on the loth
instant at St. Jean de Luz. were immediately sent to Mu-
nagorri at Aleenis near Sare, where he received them. It is
affirmed that lie will very shortly enter the Sptnish terri-
tory, and that the Carlists for their putt are impatient for
tin opportunity to meet him, and a letter from Ainlioa
announces that numerous arrests have taken piece at
Estella, fifteen of the principal inhabitants are in the
number of the persons unprisotied, and it is said that there
is also a superior Officer of the Junta of Navarre."

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

Brussels, Dutch, and Ge►man Journals have been►
received this morning. The folio,, ing are extracts
from them :

THE H AGUE, OCT. 1 9.—ln the S tting or the Second
Chamber of the St ates•C•-tiefal to-1,13, the Minister of Fi-
nance presented the Buduet for the next financial year

LORD BROUGHAM.—A rumour concerning this
Nobleman has been prevalent this morning, in the
City, to which, as we believe it to he wholly unfounded,
we will not give the least circulation. We have in-
quired at the Noble Lord's residence, and at other
places likely to possess information, and find that
nothing whatever is known unfavourable to his Lord-
ships's health.

These Sessions commenced to-day, before the Lord
Mayor, the Recorder, Sir Chapman Marshall, and the new
Sheriffs, Aldermen Thomas Wood and Johnson. The
calendar contains the names of upwards of 200 prisoners.
The RECORDER. the Grand Jury having been sworn,
proceeded todeliver his charge to them. Although the calen-
dar presented no less than 216 prisoners for trial, and which
number would probably be increased before the termination
of the Sessims, yet it did not appear to him that any of
the cases presented any points of difficulty, or re-
quired any comment from hint. There were, how-
ever, one or two cases of rather a serious nature, the
depositions in which would require great consideration
on the part of the Grand Jury. There was one case in
which a person described as a pauper, in Aldersgate work-
house, was charged with setting Eire to one of the wards
of that establishment. That case presented circumstances
of rather a singular description. It would be for the Grand
Jury in all cases to say whether the facts brought home the
commission of the crime to the party charged, and if, in the
opinion of the Grand Jury it did, they would be bound to
put the matter in a train for further investigation ; but if
they considered there was no case against the individual, or
the charge was frivolous, then they would be hound to ig-
nore the bill. Another case, which would require great
attention on the part of the Grand Jury, was
one in which a female was charged with aid-
ing and abetting an individual in committing a
rape. The Learned Judge then adverted to several of the
other cases in the calendar, and concluded by expressing
his firm conviction that the Grand Jury would discharge
their duties with credit to themselves, and benefit to the
country.
The Court then proceeded to sweat- in the Petit Jury.
