We extract from the Constitutionnel the fol-
jug letter from Vienna of the most recent date,
which tends to place in a new point of view the
great question which has for nearly a year oc-
cupied all the Cabinets of Europe. It is said to
he written by a person who has the means of
"owing facts and appreciating events.—The
following is the letter, which we give verbatim :
" Since my last, some more precise information has been re-
ceived respecting the present state of the negotiations between
Russia and Austria relative to the discussions with the Porte.
I Ought to add to the notices respecting the result of the mission
of M. de -Tatitscheff, that according to information derived
from, good a.athority, the Prince de Metternich gave him a
formal assuri:nce that the moment war should break out be-
tveen and the Porte, M. de Lutzow should quit Con-
stantinople, that Austria would at all events make common
cause with Russia, and that there was a well founded hope that
the Cabinet of London would accede to the measures to be
taken in concert.

" The plan agreed upon at Vienna to provide for future con-
tnigencies has transpired, with regard to some of its principal
V-Ipulations. Moldavia and Wallachia will, it is said, be given
to hereditary Princes, and that Servia will be assimilated to them
is principle, regulating the Sovereignty of the Porte with re-
gard to these three intermediate States. The principle is also
adopted, that the maintenance of the Porte as an European
Power is imperiously demanded by reasons of the greatest
Weight ; and as it is believed that the Grand Seignior himself,
and his Divan, wish to destroy the military tyranny of the
Janissaries, aid will be ready to be given to them fur that per-
Pose- By this means the Turkish Power will be Europeanized,
and will square better with the general political system. It will
be see.n that all these combinations are to be the bases of ar-
ratlgements of a great extent agreed upon between the two
Courts, and to be carried into effect by an imposing display of
force- The essential point which inclines the balance towards
war, is the indemnity which Russia claims for the expences
of the Army of Observation, and which amount to an immense

We subjoin another article indicative of the
tear decision of the important question which
11'°w engages the attention of all Europe :
NUREMBERG, MAY 10.—Several letters have been re-
ceived here from Poland and Russia, which are more warlike
than ever. They allude to an important Order of the Day ad-
4rea6ed by the Commander-in. Chief, Count de Wittgenstein, to
the commanders of the divisions of his army ; but it has not
Yet been published, and is only mentioned in one of these let-
ters as being of a tenor to chew that the Russian cabinet has.no
longer any hope of preserving peace."
A_ letter from Brody of the 2Sth April, con-
tains the following Postscript :
" The Russian Army of the South is on the alert, and ex-
Petting orders, which will, doubtless, be shortly followed by
the presence of the Emperor Alexander. The new Army of
Reserve is positively advancing towards the mouth of the
orysthenes, but there is no saying at present what will be its
ultimate destination."
The French Papers announce the almost sud-
deo death of that excellent character the Duke

c"to Rouses of Parliament, prepared by the joint
ti°lllMittee of the Council and the Assembly/ on

the Revenue of the Province.
[From the Halifax Paper of the 18th April.;

By letters received from a Mercantile House
in New York, it appears the Custcm House
Officers there have grown extremely rigid, and
in future persons shipping property to any part
of the United States will do well to attend
strictly to the American laws. The following is
an abstract :

" All goods shipped to this colony, subject to ad valorenz du-
ties, must have an invoice attested before a notary accompany-
ing them ; and if any articles that may he doubtful as to the
growth, &c., an attestation that they are the growth and pro-
duction of the Province of New Brunswick; failing which they
will be sent to the public store, there appraised, and 50 per
cent. added to the value, together with appraiser's fees, &c."
[Extract of a Letter from Washington, of the 4th April.]
" The French, Spanish, and Russian, Mini-

sters are breaking up their establishments here :
—This does not indicate any hostile feeling, ex-
cept, perhaps, on the part of the Minister of
Spain, who is certainly rather in dudgeon on our
acknowledgment of Spanish America.

" Mr. DE NEUVILLE proceeds, I understand,
to Lisbon. Since the above gentleman's last re-
turn from France, he is understood to have been
engaged in negotiation with our Government on
points of a commercial nature, and it is said has
exhibited an uncommon degree of gall ; this is

the more remarkable, because before he went to
France, of all the Foreign Ministers he was the
most cordial with our Administration ; but he is

a man of quick temper."

Gibraltar Papers to the 29th ult. have been
received. The following are extracts :

( From the Paper of the 28th.)
" On the 13th a number of Officers of the Revenue in
Saragossa, headed by the Judge of First Instance, proceeded
to one of the shops in that city, seized all the goods, without
observing the ipms of law established for such seizures,
and even carried away twenty-two dollars which were
in the drawer. On seeing this the shopkeeper cried—
" Thieves !" and numbers immediately came out to defend
the property, and, a tumult succeeding, the revenue officers
fired upon the people. This exasperated the multitude and
the National Guard to such a degree, that they proceeded
to the Government House, and loudly demanded the offen-
ders should be put to death. This storm the Commandant
General himself found it impossible to oppose, and it was
agreed upon between him and the Civil Governor that the
goods should be restored, and the revenue officers secured ;
besides which the Commandant offered to repay the 22 dollars
out of his own pocket, as they were not found upon the officer
who was accused of taking them. By this politic conduct,
tranquillity was restored, and the people peaceably retired to
their homes.
" On the next day, from 20 to 30 individuals, most of them
militiamen, assembled in Coso-street, paraded about a straw-
stuffed figure, on the breast and back of which was seen the
name of the 'Minister of the Interior, and on reaching a certain
spot, set fire to the mawkin. In consequence of this tumult,
the Civil Governor, at the request of the Alcaldes, suspended
the meetings of the Patriotic Society in that city. In conse-
quence of this, about 300 individuals found their way in, and
after searching over it, departed."

Last night Mr. CANNING'S dangerous Bill for
admitting the Roman Catholic Peers into the
House of Lords was read a first time in that
House ; and in the House of Commons the still
more dangerous—the fatal Bill for altering the
Navigation Laws, received scarcely any opposi-
tion. This is only the beginning, we fear, of a
system which will ultimately break down all
those protective barriers of British industry,
which have elevated this country to the rank
she holds amongst nations. Mr. BROUGHAM
said last night of the new Navigation Bill,
that " his only disapproval of it was that it
did not go far enough." We would say of our
protective system, that we have never seen any
defects in it, except where it failed to give
full and complete protection not only to every
branch of our industry, but to all the sources of
wealth which this country so eminently possesses."
Why are we so desirous of furnishing foreign
countries with our manufactures ? There is no-
thing which we take in exchange for them that
we cannot produce ourselves ; and that we du
not possess the means, in uncultivated colonies,
and in unemployed people and unemployed ca-
pital, of producing in superabundance. Sup-
posing other countries should shut out our ship-
ping from their ports, we should have employ-
ment of our own for a Navy much greater than
that which we at present possess, in conveying our
rich and varied products to and from the different
parts of our extensive empire. There could be
no lim\its to our progress in wealth ; and there
could he no mischievous effects from the wealth,
comfort, and even the ease of our people, or from
the splendour of our institutions, and the expen-
sive strength of our defences. Under the system,
on the other hand, which is about to be intro-
duced, we must become poor, in order to
be able to compete with poverty. Our peo-
ple must toil without intermission, for a
scanty remuneration, in order that they may
be able to realize a small profit for the
capitalists who may think their industry
worth being kept in motion. Already, be it re-
membered, a large portion of our industry is in
that worthless condition. The majority of our
Paupers are persons for whose labour there is no
demand—for whose services no one possessed of
capital will give any remuneration. The new
theorists tell us that this country will be prosper-
ous when it can produce cheaper. We tell them,
that the millions expended annually in poor-rates,

if they were productively employed, would nearly
double the present annual products of the country,
without any addition to its e7;penditure;and would,
therefore, render the cost of its commodities twice
as cheap as it is now. Why can they not effect
cheapness through some rational mode of giving
activity to our dormant powers, instead of seek-
ing
to effect it (as they most assuredly are now
ignorantly doing) through a diminution of the
reward obtained by the people for their exertions ?

We have received several Irish. Journals this
morning, from which we have made some
extracts; and though disturbances and outrages
are still prevalent in some parts, it is evident
that the hour of peace is approaching. Those
who have been induced merely by poverty and
actual want of food to violate the laws, as nutri-
ment is afforded to them,are gradually settling into
I
order and submission. The Dublin Correspondent, a I
very respectable Journal, (May 18,) contains the
following article, which must give general satisfac-
tion, as it shews that the state of affairs in the
Sister Island begins to wear a more favourable
and promising aspect, and that if no Popish arti-
fices and instigations should interfere, the country
is likely to recover its tranquillity and quiet
obedience to the Government :

" Like the balm of consolation to the wounded heart, the ge-
nerous behaviour of the people of England to their miserable
brethren, the suffering peasantry of the South of Ireland, con-
tinues to operate as a charm. Even vice and villainy have
pausethin their foul work ; and such is the quiet and grateful
stagnancy which has succeeded to a desperate and ferocious ac-
tivity, that none were ever more unlike others than the pea-
santry cf the South are, in many places, to what they were
themselves a few weeks ago. The suffering of the moment is
comprised in this—that the poor have little or no food, and
the people of property have got little or no money, in
those places where distress wears its most severe aspect.—..
The great, generous, and most ardent labours of the Go_
vernment have been unsparingly exerted :—But the grand
effusion of benevolence which has burst forth from the heart of
the English nation, has flattered and soothed, as well as
served, those who are its peculiar objects--and the anti-
anglicism of a late period is gone, never, let us hope, to revive
to silly, and prejudiced, and pernicious life. There is some
consolatory intelligence communicated in our Letters from the
South. The appearance of the growing crop is of the most
promising nature ; there is a greater spread of early potatoes
than ever was known before; and this crop is singularly and
auspiciously anvancing towards maturity."

Letters of the 27th April, from Petersburg!),
state that the dispositions of the new Tariff are
executed with great rigour. A commission is
established to decide on cases relating to mer-
chandise prohibited under the new Tariff, but
shipped for Petersburgh before the measure was
known at the port from whence it was sent. The
Emperor had not left the capital, but prepard-
tions were making et the Palace for his depar-
ture to IVitepsk, which was, expected to take
place early in this month. Two couriers had ar-
rived at Petersburgh from Vienna within the
preceding week, and were understood there to
have brought intelligence favourable to the main-
tenance of peace. The general tenor of the let-
ters from Petersburgh inclines consequently to
that opinion, and some orders which were given
a few posts back to purchase saltpetre in this
country have been countermanded.

Yesterday the Duke of YORK transacted mili-
tary business with the KING.
The Marquess of LONDONDERRY had an audi-
ence of his MAJESTY yesterday.--On Saturday
the French Ambassador had a long interview
with the Marquess of LONDONDERR
Yesterday the Governor and Deputy Governor
of the Bank of England had an interview with
the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER.
The Jupiter, .50, has been brought down Ply-
mouth Harbour to be fitted for commission, and
will take out the Right Hon. GEORGE CANNING
as Governor-General, to India. ,
The sum of 18,0001. sterling was recovered
from TWEEDIE, the defaulter, who arrived at
New York.

Mr. KEAN has determined to devote the pro-
duce of his benefit this year to the fund for the
relief of the distressed peasantry in Ireland.—
This is a generous act, highly honourable to Mr.
KEAN, though one which it cannot be expected
that any of his less opulent brethren should
imitate.

INIATIIEws, it is said, means to go abroad, some
say to America, but he will be at home wherever
he goes.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-This day these Sessions
commenced before FRANCIS CONST, Esq., the
Chairman, and a full Bench of Magistrates. The
Court being opened with due form, the Grand
Jury panel was called several times, and nearly
an hour and 20 minutes passed before a Jury
could be formed, hi consequence of the absence
of the gentlemen who ought to attend on these
occasions.—The Chairman, in answer to the
questions of a Grand Juryman, informed him,
every man who was absent, whose name was on
the list, would be fined 40s.—The Jury being
sworn, were briefly addressed by the Chairman,
and they retired to perform their various duties.
The Court was occupied during the morning, in
hearing traversed cases of assaults.

PIDDING & Co. No. 1, Cornhil, are certain
there are two Points in the present Lottery,
which, having always been favourite Points with
the Public, will require very few voids by way
of eulogy—one is, there will be no stspense, the
whole Lottery being to be decided in one Day,
(JUNE 4)—the other is, that the lickets and
Shares are sold at a cheap Rate—yet there are
not two Blanks to a Prize—No Fixel Prizes—
All Sterling Money—Sixteen Capitals, all afloat,
—and Two of X2o,ooo.—PlnniNG & Co. have
rather a confident prepossession, tha some of
these are now on sale at the Lucky Ctrner, No.
CORNIIILL, or at their Agents in the Country.
