St. Petersburgh at the end of December by the
REIS EFFENDI, had been deemed veryunsatisfac-
tory by the Russian Cabinet. The Note, which
we publish this day, sufficiently proves that the
information from Odessa was correct. A spirit
t.
of evasion runs through this important document,
which evidently shows the repugnance of the
Porte to allow of any interference in its inter-
nal affairs; and when the proud and irascible
character of the SULTAN is taken into considera-
tion, the chances of war are still further
strengthened.

The Ward " Supply " having been mentioned
the House of Commons on Monday night, Mr.
BENNET, faithful to his threat; immediately
moved for an inquiry into the.scircumstances
Which occurred at the late QuEENN Funeral"- and
the loss of lives upon that occasion. A great
deal has been said of her MAJESTY being dragged
through unsuitable • places, -and Lord LONDON"'
DE4ItY seems to have
_thought that this never
.Was so much the case as when she was introduced
into a discussion respecting the Supplies. How-
ever, Mr. BENNET observed, that " the old, con-
stitutional course in Parliament was to call for "a
redieSs of grievances when the Supply was asked
by the Crown."—lf therefore the motion had
been peisisted in and duly supported, it. would, •
according. to Mr. BENNET, have been perfectly',
becoming: and regular , for the Rouse .to delay
granting the sums required for public exigencies,
till some. steps .had been .taken in the inquiry
why. the KING'S servants had directed the re-
Mains of the .KiNq's Consort 'to be carried out of
Own throngh one street rather than another.--
This 'national grievance is, however, destined to
come befOre Parliament on one or more occa-
sions; and-first, we 'believe, on the motion of a
gallant Ex-General, whose case may naturally
enough connect' itselfin the minds, of his partizans
and 'subscribers with a " Committee of Supply."
It has been too much .the .custom of late, in.po-
pular discussions, to illustrate the, present satia-
tion of the country. with respect to its burdens
and .embarras.stnents, by likening these to the
dAficulties of a private individual. .The fallacies
involved in such a comparison would appear too
striking and notorious to require any comment
yet it seems by the Parliamentary Report of yes,-
terday, that Mr. 13ROI;GII1 i has not disdained to
lend 'them his sanction in ..a..part of his speech, -
where he is said to have. observed, " So pros-
perons was our course, even. in.a financial point
of view, that our. revenue was. but one million
more than our expenditure,,sleaving the whole
interest of the debt to be provided.for. If,a man,
in private life had an income of 1.0,000/.. a year,
owed a debt, the interest of which was 50001. a
year; and spent almost his 10,000/. a• year, so
that he was compelled to borrow to pay the in-
terest of his debt, what was the name which
would be given to the situation "of such a man ? "
Without at present entering into the argu-
ment of which these sentences form a
part, :teestrongly object to the mode, of . illustration, as
calculated to mislead,not the Honourable House
to which it was addressed, or the well-informed
in general, but a multitude of . persons. in the-
class which is styled, par excellence, the people,
•
whose understandings ought, if possible, to be
kept clear upon a subject respecting which they
are DON so often called upon to raise their voices
in petition. To the apprehension of such per-
sons, the moral of this favourite apologue must
be, that if the nation resemble A private gentle-
man who • has outrun his ince*, the nation,
like that gentleman, will be'.a guinea the.
Wealthier for every guinea 'retrenched from'
the accustomed expenditure, and consequently,"
that if this were reduced one half, the coun.s•
try; would. be twice as rich, and the credi-
tors twice., as thriving and twice as. secure.'
They will not recollect that a great part of the"'
expenditure goes to benefit the country itself ;
that
_if,, on.one hand, we resemble the prodigal, .
scatterer of his income, on the, other,, We in . a
great measure share the advantages of the trades- -
men who
,profit by his profusion, and. should
suffer, like them, by a- sudden and excessive di-
minution of his expenses, which, at the same .•
time, if accompanied by a curtailment of his meaus,.
would afford him very little relief. We of course
do notdeny that the system of expellee may be so
badly managed ICS to produce evils on one side far - •
disproportioi,ed to any advantages" reaped, on the
other, but we protest againsta deceptive (node of
picturing the state of things, which tends to fill
the'uninformed,and thoughtless with unreason-
sible discontents, false hopes, and extravagant
wishes. At the moment when these sentences
are printing, some zealot is perhaps instructing'
the people of 'Westminster that the nationsesem-
bles'a man loaded with debt, but at the same time_
Spending his full income, and who therefore has
nothing to do but to give up, servants, horses,.
carriages, and villas, and limit his orders.to his
tradesmen, till he shall be enabled to discharge
his incumbrances. But no one wilt inform the
worthy listeners of Westminster, that if the Eng-
lish nation is justly typified by such an indivi,
dual, that individual must comprise, within his
own person the debtor, the creditor,.4he cus-
tomer, the tradesmen,.-the master, and the house-
hold.

IRELAND.—The Cork Aclverli;er, received this
morning, expresses an apprehension that the de-
gree of tranquillity, which prevails in the western
parts of the county, arises chiefly from the near
approach of the opening of the Special Con:mis-
sing in the City of Cork. We- fear that this
conjecture is too well founded ; for, not Wit-
h the peaceful professions of the peasan-
_yy, there has still been no general sarrenifer of
arms. It is very, likely that the insurgents may
be merely amusing the Magistrates and Gentry
With a shew of submission, until the Judges, by
emptying the gaols, and retiring again for a time
from the administration of the laws, shall lessen
the immediate risk and danger attendant upon
outrage and rebellion,On Thursday night, a
body of about two hundred well armed insurgents
'attacked several houses -in the neighbourhood'
of Bandon. They battered the doors and win-
