is communicating news favourable to peace,
should havey remained silent so long, and when
it thought proper to speak out, that it should
not have informed the public categorically
What reports were true and what false. In
its second article, however, the Austrian Ob-

server condescended to enlighten us on those
Points that were not deserving of credit,
'which, as we predicted, proved to be of minor
importance. The material points: such as the
rejection of the Ultimatum, and the determina-
tion of the Sultan to adhere to that decision not-
Withstanding the subsequent efforts of England,
Atlstlia, and France, to obtain its reconsideration,
are left untouched, and we feel convinced that
the intelligence on those subjects cannot be con-
troverted, otherwise the Austrian cabinet would
have long since instructed their official organ to

contradict- reports which have proved so in
J'lrlous to their financial arrangements.

Our limits, on Saturday, would not allow us to
Pursue our observations on another paragraph in
the last article of the Austrian Observer. "
It
iS remarkable," says this Journal, " that, not-
-I%ithstanding so many rumours and anxieties pre-
-1111 relative to an European war, the Porte has
hitherto made no preparations, by sea or land,
'which could indicate such a war." The infor-

'nation derived from the Continental Journals
and private letters having proved so correct in.
Other [natters connected with the Turkish ques-
tion, as not to admit of contradiction even by the
Austrian Observer, we cannot withhold our be-
lief from the intelligence they communicate
respecting the armaments preparing by the
Parte, and the march of troops to the Da-
Inthe and the frontier exposed to the Russians.—
'rile Austrian Observer wishes it to be believed
that the warlike preparations of the Turks are
destined only to quell the Greek insurrection
and repel the incursions of the Persians, but he
will find it very difficult to convince his readers that
the armies kept up by the Turks on the Banks
of the Pruth and the Danube are designed to
effect the reduction of Greece, or that the hordes
drawn from Asia, and encamped on the shores of
the l3osphorus, can repel the attacks of the Per-
sians in the environs of Bagdad. No one, we
think, can sit down to an attentive perusal of
the concurrent intelligence from all parts of the
Continent on the question between Turkey and
Russia, without being impressed with a strong
Conviction that war is next to inevitable, and that
both parties have long been carrying on their
Preparations to meet the event. This is our
honest opinion, which is still further strengthened
11 the accounts contained in the French and
German Papers which have arrived since our,
ast, and will be found in a preceding column.

OrQ li
9panish Papers furni some further accounts
the partial disaffection in the North of Spain,
and contain the substance of the proceedings of
the
Cortes with respect .to South America, by
Whi ch it appears that the Spaniards still entertain
res of preserving their Colonial Empire.

h PARIS, APRIL 24.—The Session of the Chora-
:l,' Deputies has virtually terminated by one of those events,
"-,ith" ,
from the folly of its authors, is calculated to produce an
Defeated
'feet the very reverse of what was intended. The Liberals,
on all the grand questions of national interest, sum-
/bar,
th -e. all their forces, to give importance to a circumstance of
-"tnost trivial nature, the re-establishment of the Seminary of

The matter had already been discussed in its de-

the tilscussion. This, in matters of such a nature, is done
at
A Member for the department, M. LACROIX

bear to oppose its adoption. The House refused to

Z. "'stance bok place the next day, with the most disgracerul
erte3 °f tumult, of which the more rational of the Liberals
*--%ite expressed their shame and indignation. The political
tet3 tif Paris have commented on this event in different
t4;35 but not one bas considered the matter in its proper point
p, view ; it is to be considered under three separate heads.

ttlr„t3f thing, even what is clearly the interest of their consti-
oles, on the sole ground of its being proposed by Govern-

Public opinion on the ensuing elections. Secondly, this
et;:nt establishes the principle, that though the whole of the
Pluties
)r be present, that does not:constitute its power to pass
hav_4vr, unless about one half of them vote. In England we
epM six hundred and fifty-eight Members, and it is a House
to es'erY ose if forty are present. In France they

th, ° '444- There were on the present occasion 214 ayes,' yet
Whiccould not be passed, because there were not two noes,
the
_lli were requisite to make the whole number of voters half

be one ! ! !—Thirdly, such being the case, it is
'ri3Oleint on the part of Government to apply a remedy to such
%v nYous defect in its legislation ; the
matter is extremely
.! u Let the number constituting a Haute be reduced to
fortutl that dred. Members : count their noses and their votes to
three a number ; and if it be complete—if there be only

°e not more than two
a noes opposed to them. This will
not
blow at the radical Members; and as Go-
