counteract the Russian scheme of a war between the
PORTE and the Pacha of EGYPT, by openly declaring
that the combined fleets of France and England will
make war on the aggressor. This is just the way to
preserve peace.

The crowded state of our columns prevents us from
entering into any detail of the statements made, and
the grievances complained of, in the following petition,
which was on Friday presented in the House of Com-
mons. In The Sun of that day, we took care to call
attention to it ; and we expressed a hope that Parlia-
ment and the country would do ample justice to the
claims of the petitioners.
" The humble Petition of the undersigned merchants and others
interested in the trade with Turkey, Persia, and the Levant,
strongly impressed with the opinion of the imminent peril in
which that trade is placed by the past acts and apparent designs
of Russia in those quarters, showeth—
" Ist, That Russia, in order to attain great manufacturing and
trading pre-eminence, has adopted a system of commercial policy
decidedly restrictive and adverse to all principles of reciprocity, and
particularly to trade with Great Britain, and that she endeavours
to procure the adoption of such principles in every country where
she acquires influence.
" 2d, That Turkey, on the contrary, has manifested at all pe-
riods, and continues to show the strongest disposition to leave com-
merce free from all legislative trammels or imposts, and to encourage
friendly commercial intercourse with this country ; but that of late
years restrictions and local abuses have been introduced into the ex-
port trade of Turkey, mainly by means of the extraordinary influ-
ence which the Russian Government has acquired over the Govern-
ment of that country, which restrictions are highly prejudicial to
the interests of your petitioners and of British commerce generally,
and that these injuries are being extended daily, through the in-
crease of the influence before stated.
" 3d, That it appears to your petitioners that the Russian Go-
vernment, by the extension of such interference with the first prin-
ciples of Turkish and Persian commercial policy (any change in
which policp must materially- impede the development of the great
natural resources of these countries), aims at the disorganization of
both Turkey and Persia, with the view to great political and mer-
cantile results, at variance with every recognized British interest.
" 4th. That Turkey and Persia having vast populations ready
and willing to receive all of our staple manufactures, and much of
our colonial produce, the most beneficial results will accrue to
Great Britain by her extending to the Governments of these coun-
tries that moral and political support which will enable them to
increase the cultivation and exportation of many of their valuable
products, which are of staple consumption in this country, and by
which alone they can make return for a larger quantity of our
manufactures. For these reasons we feel justified in calling the
immediate attention of your Honourable House to the state of our
commercial relations with Turkey and Persia, and we pray that
your Honourable House will take such steps as may obtain a re-
moval of the restrictions we complain of, and may extend under
adequate protection this most valuable and rising portion of British
trade:"

VIENNA, APRIL 8.--The Duke de Blacas, whose private
property is known to be very considerable, has purchased the
fine estate of Erlaa, near Vienna, belonging to Count Taaffe,
and, it is said, means to take up his abode there on the 15th
May. Many persons immediatelconjectured that the estate
was intended for the future residence of Charles X. and his
family, which, however, does not seem probable, because the
mansion at Erlaa is not spacious enough to afford accommo-
dation to a numerous family. It is affirmed, on the contrary,
that Charles X. is negotiating with Count N. Esterhazy, for
the purchase of the estate of Papa, in Lower Hungary.

It is. said that it 'is probable that Prince Augustus of
Saxe Coburg, may obtain the hand of the Princess Victoria,
the heiress of the throne of England.
The Ministers of the Interior and Finance have just pre-
sented to the Chamber of Representatives, the project of law
for modifying the Belgian Tariff of Duties of Customs, on
certain articles, especially such as are the produce of France.
By the Tariff now in force many French articles are subject
to higher duty than the same articles from other countries.
The proposed law in general modifies these differences, by
equalising, the duties. Many French articles now prohibited
are to be admitted on payment of a duty equal to that paid
by the same articles from other countries. In some cases the
duties proposed are lower; and in some higher, than those
imposed by the existing Tariff.

THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY).

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of all descriptions of Grain last week were con-
siderable, and the trade throughout the week was lower for
Wheat, and dull for other articles. This morning the fresh
supplies of all kinds of Corn are tolerably good. The trade
for Wheat has been very heavy, and to effect sales the factors
have reduced the prices 3s. per quarter from last Monday for
most qualities. Barley also has met a slow demand, and ex-
cept for superfine is Is. per quarter lower. Beans have sold
freely at last week's rates. Peas of both kinds are unaltered.
Oats meet a slack demand, and the prices of this day se'nnight
are hardly maintained. There was very little sale for Flour
last week • the supply was large, and the top price has this
morning been reduced to 455. per sack.
