Highnesses are persons to be dreaded, even when they are the
givers of presents. That which brings the country into danger
to declare its most valuable gifts compromised without hav-
ing weighed calmly all the circumstances open to examina-
tion. Every one must feel that a Government is thereby
placed in a false position before the nation, and that it is by
such means that the tranquillity and safety of the State are
compromised. In fact, we can neither deny nor mistake the
exhibition which the case of this Prince Louis Napoleon has
made of our federal institutions. For objects of the most tri-
fling importance we do not recognise a decision of the Diet,
unless twelye votes are united. Here the vote of one Canton
would have, by the recognition of the rights of citizenship, de-
cided the fate of twenty-two Cantons.
" When the question of peace or war is before us, the fe-
deral compact requires the consent of three-fourths of the
States. This time the question was so put that peace or war
depended on one vote only.
" Events of another kind have given rise to inconveniences
no less hurtful to our federal institutions. The vices of our
organization—we see them ! we admit them to our shame !
are evideet, but we do not concur as to the manner in which
they should be remedied. You will pardon me, Gentlemen,
these observations, which I do not intend as personal to any
member, but as intended solely for the good of the country.
" I will not conclude, Gentlemen, without offering my most
sincere wishes for your happiness and the expression of my
full acknowledgment for the indulgence you have shown me.
The recollection of the Diet of 1838 will be one of the most
pleasing of my life. I find there the proof that a sincere de-
votion to the good of the nation places me far above the judg-
ment of men condemned by their avarice and bad feelings to
the
miserable occupation
,of pamphleteers and public calum-
niators."

TREATY OF COMMERCE WITH

AUSTRIA.

(From the Vienna Gazette of the 16th inst.)
Between his Royal, Imperial, and Apostolic Majesty and
her 'Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, on the 3d of July of the present year, A
new treaty of commerce and navigation was concluded, of
which the annexed faithful translation, in the German lan-
guage, is laid before the public, with a notification that the
respective ratifications were exchanged in Milan, on the 14th
of September last.
" In the name of the Most Holy Trinity :—His Majesty the
Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary and Bohemia, and
her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Bri-
tain and Ireland, animated with a desire to develope, extend,
and strengthen the commercial relations between their domi-
nions and possessions, and thereby to afford to their subjects
who take a part in those commercial relations every facility
and encouragement possible, and convinced that nothing could
more conduce to the accomplishment of this desire than to
continue the suppression of all inequalities in the tariff of
duties which, previous to the conclusion of the Convention
signed in London on the 21st of December, 1829, were levied
in the harbours of one State on the vessels of the other, have
appointed Plenipotentiaries to conclude a treaty to that effect
—namely :
" On the part of His Majesty the Emperor of Austria,
King of Hungary and Bohemia, Clement Wenzel Lothaire,
Prince of Metternich ; Winneburgh, Duke of Portella, Count
of Konigswart, Grandee of Spain of the first class, Knight of
the Golden Fleece, Grand Cross of the Royal Order of St.
Stephen, of Hungary, and of the Gold Medal of Honour of
Civil Merit, Chamberlain of his Imperial, Royal, and Aposto-
lic Majesty, Privy Councillor, Minister of State and Confer-
ence, Chancellor of the Court of State :
'• And on the part of Her Majesty the Queen of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Right Hon. Sir
Frederick James Lamb, Grand Cross of the Most Hon. Order
of the Bath, Member of the Privy Council, and Ambassador
Extraordinary and Minister. Plenipotentiary of Her Majesty
at the Court of His Imperial, Royal, and Apostolic Majesty :
Who, after the exchange of their full powers, which
were found in du, form, agreed to, and signed, the following
articles:—

" Art. 1. From the date of the ratification of the present
treaty the vessels of the two Powers, on entering and quitting
the respective harbours of the two contracting Powers, shall
pay no other duties than those to which are subjected or may
hereafter be subjected the national vessels of each of the two
Powers.

2. All the productions of the dominions of his Majesty
the Emperor of Austria, including those exported to the north
by the river Elbe, and to the cast by the Danube, and which
may be imported into the harbours of her Majesty the Queen
of the United Kingdom, as also all the productions of the
soil and manufactures of the kingdom of Great Britain, which
may be imported into the harbours of his Majesty the Emperor
of Austria, shall enjoy the same privileges and immunities,
and vice versa. •

" 3. All the articles which arc not the zroduce of the soil
and manufactures of the dominions of the two contracting
Powers, but shall be imported in a regular manner from the
harbours of Austria into those of , the United Kingdom of
Great Britain, Ireland, Malta, Gibraltar, and other possessions
of her Britannic Majesty, shall be held to pay no other duties
than those they would have to discharge if they were imported
in English vessels. Her Britannic Majesty grants by the
present treaty to the trade and navigation of Austria the ad-
vantages secured by the two Acts of Parliament of the 28th
of August, 1833, to the vessels and productions of the United
Kingdom and of its possessions, and those enjoyed by the most
favoured nations.
" 4. All Austrian vessels proceeding from the harbours of
the Danube, as far as Galacz inclusive, as well as their cargoes,
may sail direct for the ports of Great Britain, and of all other
the possessions of her Britannic Majesty, as if they came
direct from the harbours of Austria; and reciprocally, all Eng-
lish vessels, as well as their cargoes, shall be admitted into the
•
Austr:an harbours and depart therefrom, with the same immu-
nities as Austrian vessels.
"5. Whereas English vessels coming direct from other
countries may enter Austrian harbours, agreeably to the tenor
of the present treaty, without paying any other duties than
those to which Austrian vessels are liable, the productions of
the soil and industry of those parts of Asia and Africa which
are within the Straits of Gibraltar, and which, after being
carried in a right line into the ports of Austria, are thence
sent in Austrian vessels to, the ports of Great Britain, shall
enjoy the same advantages as if they bad been imported by
English vessels into Austrian ports.
6. All articles of commerce imported or exported into or
from the ports. of the contracting countries under the flags of
either, whether in British or Austrian bottoms, are to be sub.
jetted to the same duties and premiums.
" 7. All goods in bond from either country arc to be sub-
jected to the same duties on re-exportation.
" 8. The Governments of the two States undertake not to
inquire into the origin cf the products introduced into the
ports of either.
" 9. With regard to trade with the East Indies in Austrian
bottoms, the same privileges are granted by England to Aus-
tria as to the most favoured nations, but under the same condi-
tions and legal prescriptions. •
" 10. The treaty does not apply to Coasting, navigation and
trade between the portOf the same State in vessels belonging
to the other of the two contracting States, as far as regards
the transport of pa'ssengers and goods, because this naviga-
tion and trade are reserved to natives of eaCh'country respec-
tively.
" 11. The vessels and subjects of the contracting Powers,
in their trade and navigation, are to enjoy reciprocally all the
rights and privileges of the most favoured nations in the ports
of either—that is to say, Austria is to have in the United
Kingdom and all British possessions the full advantage of the
Navigation Act passed 28th of April, 1833, and of another
Act of the s,,ine date for regulating the trade of the foreign
possessions of England, or of any future Acts or Orders in
Council to the same effect ; and England is to have in Aus-
trian ports all advantages insured by treaties to other Powers.
The two Powers also bind themselves not to grant any favours
and privileges of trade and navigation to the subjects of other
Powers, which,shall not beat the same time granted to Aus-
trian and British subjects reciprocally, either gratuitously or
upon eqpivalent compensation, according to the nature of the
privileges so granted to other Powers.
" 12. ,The stipulations contained in the 7th article of the
Treaty concluded at Paris' on the sth of November, 1815,
between the Courts of Austria, Great Britain, Prussia, and
Russia, for the trade between the Austrian States and the
lonian Islands continue in force.

" 13. The present treaty, which replaces that of the 21st
of December, 1829, between the Austrian and British Go-
vernments, is to remain in force until the 31st of December,
1848, and after that time for twelve months from the date
when one of the contracting Powers shall signify to the other.
its intention of limiting the duration of the treaty. At the
expiration of such twelve months after the reception of such
notice the treaty is to cease to be of effect.
" 14. The Treaty is to be ratified, and the ratifications ex-
changed within one month, or sooner if possible. Done at
Vienna, July 3, 1838.

FREDERICK JAMES LAMB."

LATE INTELLIGENCE FROM INDIA.

Mr. Calvert, agent of the East India Company at Malta.
arrived in town yesterday afternoon, i❑ ten days, from that
island, with dispatches from India, the date being the 12th
ultimo (or forty-four days old), conveyed to Suez by the,
Berenice steamer, which left Bombay on that day. The
dispatches embrace those which accompanied the following
mails, dispatched from Suez, namely :
On the 15th July, by the Semiramis steamer, to Suez,
which, after being eleven days at sea, contending against the
south-west monsoon, was .obliged through stress of weather to
return to Bombay, having expended nearly all her coals, and
only reached 575 miles to the westward. •
On the Ist August, by the Atalanta steamer, to the Persian
Gulf.

On the 12th Sept., by the Berenice steamer, to Suez, where
she arrived on the 30th.

These three mails arrived at Malta by the Blazer steamer,
and they may be expected to arrive in London on the sth or
6th of the next month.
It is thus shown that the intention of dispatching a mail
monthly from Bombay has been fulfilled, but that, through
circumstances which could not be controlled, a delay had arisen
in the receipt of the two first-mentioned mails.
The following are the names of the passengers by the Be.
renice
Major H. D. Robertson, 9th Regiment N. 1., Bombay
army ; Lieutenant Purvis, 9th Regiment N. I. Bombay army ;
Mrs. Capt, in Alexander Adam, 44th Madras N. I. ; Mr.
George Adam, Mr. James Sindry, merchants of Bombay ;
Monsieur Poulain, from Pondicherry—arrived at Malta by the
Blazer.

. OUTWARD MAILS.
London mail of 12th May, and via Marseilles to 16th, by
the Berenice, arrived at Bombay 30th June.
London mail of 9th June, and via Marseilles to the 16th, by
the Palinurus, arrived at Bombay 18th August. •
London mail of 7th July, and via Marseilles to the 16th, by
the Mahi schooner, arrived at Bombay 26th August.
London mail of 4th August had not arrived at Bombay.
London mail of Ist September, and via Marseilles to the 6th,
was to be dispatched by the Berenice from Suez on the 4th
instant, with twenty-four passengers, amongst whom were Mrs.
Barr, daughter and son ; Mr. and Mrs. Ewart, &c.
The next mail from Bombay it was intended to dispatch
on the 4th October, and the following one on the Ist No-
vember.

MEETING OF LINENDRAPERS'

ASSISTANTS.

A meeting of this numerous body was held at Exeter
Hall; last night, to determine upon resolutions passed by
the Committee, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern relative
to the hours at which. the " assistants" are desirous busi-
ness should close at night. The great hall, the platform,
and side and back galleries, were densely crowded, and
between three thousand and four thousand persons must
have been present.
Dr. BIRKBECK was in the chair, and, in a lengthened
speech forcibly pointed out the grievances under which
linendrapers' assistants labour, and the moral evil which
necessarily results from confining young men throughout
the day, and until a late hour at night, when there is
neither time nor opportunity for the improvement of the
mind, and little probability that the shortness of the time
allowed will, generally, be properly or profitable em-
ployed. The manner in which the assistants were treated
was neither just, merciful, nor reasonable, and he trusted
that' the employers of 18,000 of their fellow- creatures
would take into full and kind consideration the extent to
which human labour and human assiduity can be carried,
and afford a humane, a Christian assistance to the comfort
and administration to the health of those whose happiness
in a great degree depended upon them. He drew a touch-
ing picture of the drudgery to which the assistant linen-
draper is doomed throughout the long and dreary winter
months ; and, after expressing his firm conviction that cur-
tAing the hours of toil to which the assistants are sub-
jected would not inflict the slightest injury on employers,
he c)nc'w7el a very feeling and manly speech by observing
that he hoped they would not have a ten hours' bill, but the
same number of hours' labour secured to them by the gene-
rous dispositions of their masters and the growing sympathy
of an intellectual and discerning public.
Mr. OWEN moved the first resolution :

" That the total amount of labour to which the assistant
linendrapers are subjected being indefinite, and in districts of
the metropolis extending to 16 hours, must of necessity be de-
structive to their health, as well as of every moral and social
feeling. To remedy this great evil it is proposed that the
principals of every establishment in London be respectfully so-
licited to adopt the resolutions agreed to at the Crown and
Anchor Tavern—viz., that the time for closing be for October,
November, December, January, and February, seven o'clock;
for the months of March, August, and September, eight
o'clock ; and April, May, June, and July, nine o'clock.—
(Immense cheering)—and one hour later on Saturday through-
out the year."
Mr. OWEN, in a warm-hearted and Christian spirit, dis-
played the injustice of the system as at present acted upon
in the trade, and the extensive immorality which the close
confinement of the assistants necessarily occasions.
Mr. TIIOMPSON seconded the motion.

Dr. BIRESECK put it to a show of hands, and there ap-
peared to'be an almost unanimous assent to it, upon which
Mr. NELMES, of Oxford-street, rose in the body of tic
meeting to move an amendment.
The meeting declared that the resolution was carried,
and that Mr. Nelmes had no right to speak.
Mr. NELMES said that he had a right to speak, as an as-
sent only had been taken. The " contrary" had not been
put by the Chairman.

_
The meeting thought the " contrary" had been put, and
hooted and groaned upon his attempting to address them.
After ten minutes' confusion,
Mr. NELMES again attempted to speak, when the hoot'
ing and groaning was increased tenfold for another ten mi-
nutes, and then partially subsided. Mr. Nelmes seized
this opportunity to offer a few words. He said he came
there by the invitation of those convening the meeting ; he
came there as one of the principals solicited to attend, and
not as one opposed to the objects which they had in view.
—(Loud cheers.) Still he must say that he thought they
would be unable to carry those objects out.—(Confusion and
hooting.) The hours mentioned in the resolution might
suit some portion of the metropolis, but there were other
portions where it would inflict serious injury upon the em-
ployer.—(Loud hooting, groaning, and a hustling.) He
thought the hour during the whole of the, winter should be
eight o'clock—(Renewed groaning . and bellowing)—and
nine o'clock in summer.(Renewed 'groaning and hooting,
fcr some time). He felt they would be unable to accom-
plish their end. If he did not choose to shut up at the
hours specified in the resolution, the rule would be broken,
and it would then go for nought,—(Here the howling be-
came deafening.) The hour fixed for Saturday night
would be most injurious to many—it ought to be ten
o'clock.—(Renewed groaning.) He then moved an amend-
ment to that effect.

Mr. GOWER seconded the amendment. He said he was
fearful that the additional time sought for by the assistants
woald be misemployed.—(This was followed by indescri-
bable c3nfusion and one leather-lunged assistant on the
platform imitated the roaring of the lion so naturally that
it required but little stretch of the imagination to fancy
one of the four-footedinmates of Exeter Exchange had re-
visited the spot where he had been formerly exhibited.) He
could refer to some houses where eight o'clock had been
fixed, for the truth of his statement. In those instances
the young men were found to be more immoral than those
who were kept to a-later hour. (Here the " lion" com-
menced roaring, and the body of the Meeting sent up one
universal shout.) The sraker performed the rest of his
speech, for not one syllable could be heard amidst the
howling and hooting with which he was assailed.
The amendment was then put and lost, and the original
motion carried.

Several other resolutions were also carried.

AUSTRALIA.

The arrivals from Australia, which have just come to
hand, furnish a copy of the maiden speech of Sir George.
Gips in Council. Several paragraphs in it are of much in-
terest, as tending to show the increasing prosperity of the
colony. The most important parts'decidedly are those re-
Laing to emigration from the mother country, and to mea-
sures which are to be taken for promoting religious educa- •
tion in Australia. Independently of various propositions
which'were to be submitted to the Assembly for considera-
tion, embracing a revision of the Criminal Code, the dimi-
nishing of the sale of ardent spirits, and the sale of crown
lands, we give the following interesting paragraphs from
the speech ;
" In meeting you for the first time, I am happy to be
able to congratulate you on the general tranquillity which
reigns throughout the colony, and on the success with
which the efforts of industry continue to be rewarded in
this rising land.
" On the subject of immigration, so deeply interesting
to the inhabitants of this colony, I shall lay before you
without loss .of time, some important communications
which have been addressed to my predecessor and to my-
self by her Majesty's principal Secretary of State for the
Colonies. It will be seen, on a perusal of, these docu-
ments, that this subject continues to occupy the attention
of her Majesty's Government, and that extensive measures
have been adopted for introducing into this colony as
large a supply as can be obtained of mechanical and agri-
cultural labour. Fifteen large ships with emigrants, se-
lected by Government agents, may be expected to reach
the colony in the course of the next twelve months, and
this supply will be independent of the emigrants who may
be expected to be introduced by private individuals, under
the system of bounties. I am fully impressed with the
vital importance of immigration to this colony, and ready
to give it every encouragement in my, power ; I will
moreover, freely lay before you all the information of which
I am in possession respecting its progress.
" I cannot, Gentlemen, conclude this address without
acknowledging to you that, in a matter of far higher im-
portance than the mere increase of wealth—l mean the
moral condition of the people—a residence of three months
among you has caused me to form a far more favourable
estimate of the colony than that which I entertained when
I left England.

" Of your wide agricultural and pastoral district I am
not yet in a condition to offer an opinion ; but in respect to
Sydney and its immediate vicinity, I feel happy to be able
to avow that I have found a far greater degree of decorum
and propriety of conduct to prevail than, from some ac-
counts of the colony published in England, I had been led
to expect.

" The numerous churches, too, of all persuasions which
are already in progress, and in great part paid for by volun-
tary contributions, afford satisfactory proofs of a general
desire to supply moral and religious instruction to the
people, from which we may draw a favourable augury for
the future. But, Gentlemen, it must be conceded that much
yet remains to be done ere the evil impressions which have
been raised respecting the operation of the convict system
amongst us can be dissipated in quarters where it is most
desirable that we should maintain a good repute, or ere the
standard of morals can be so raised within the colony itself
as to afford a pledge for the security and happiness of the
people."

THE CORNWALL FISHERIEs.--At length the
hope of a winter catch has been realized; and the storms and
the pilchards have come together. We have caught and se-
cured three good shoals of fish. They appeared on Friday
last, and in a moment all was bustle and excitement, and three
or four seines were shot. Of these one only missed, it be-
longed to Messrs. Hitchens and Co., and the shoal of fish
which escaped was a very noble one. Those who were more
fortunate, were Messrs .

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

-
The Quarterly Review for October, published this day,
contains no article of a political character. How is this?
Are the Tories ashamed of having played second fiddle to
Mr. Roebuck last Session ? Are they looking with ap-
prehension to what their factious proceedings may bring
forth in Canada ? The interval between the receipt of the
last dispatches from Canada and the day of publication
might have served for the manufacture of a seasonable
eulogy on the Lyndhursts and Ellenboroughs whom Lord
Brougham succeeded in drawing over to the assistance of
the French Canadians, had th Quarterly Review been
emulous of the reputation of the Times. But the Tories
are deserted at their utmost need. Not a word thrown
away in an endeavour to protect them from the
storm of indignation raised against them throughout
the country. In fact, the Tories, like many
other Machiavelians, have outwitted themselves. It
is well observed by a Contemporary (the Scotsman),
That there never was a greater mistake than to suppose
that the Tories would be as secure in place as they are
formidable in opposition. Much of their present strength,
particularly that furnished by the Radicals, they would find
no longer available; and the very obstacles they have thrown
in the way of Ministers would remain to obstruct and em-
barrass their own movcments. If, for example, they have
succeeded in creating discontent at home and disafec-
lion abroad, with a view to overturn the present Ad-
ministration, it cannot be argued that such is a con-
dition of affairs in any respect favourable to the estab-
lishment of a Tory dynasty. On the contrary, it
seems obvious that, in proportion to the chance which
the Tories have of achieving power, would be the
difficulty they would experience in maintaining it."
The same journal observes, " that, with a few
exceptions, men of all parties agree that Lord Brougham
and his Tory partisans have struck a home blow, and that
the subsistence or the severance of the tie which binds
Canada to Britain is now again a question of nice and dif-
ficul solution lt is evident that to enable
Lord Durham to put down or pacify rival factions, to awef
the disobedient, and reconcile the disaffected to the sway o
the mother country, it was indispensable that he should
command the respect of the colonists and be backed by the
moral force of the British Parliament. Of both those ad-
vantages he has been deprived." So much for the suicidal
conduct of the Tories. It is well that proofs should now
and then be afforded that crooked ways do not always re-
dound to the advantage of those who tread them.—Morn-
ing Chronicle.

Nothing can be more silly than the assumption of a
sneering and boasting tone by the Ministerial Journals on
the subject of our relations with Russia. Whether we
are to have war or peace with that great empire—whether
we are still to be outwitted by Russian diplomacy and
promptitude of action, as we have too often been hitherto,
or to assume a more wary and vigorous policy, there can
be no doubt that the question of our relations with the
Russian empire is a very serious one, deserving the most
earnest and intelligent comprehension by those who would
rightly speculate upon the future career of this nation. If,
therefore, we notice the Ministerial taunt that the op-
ponents of the present Government were in power when
the treaty of Adrianople, so favourable to the projects of
Russian ambition, was dictated, it is not so much for
the purpose of replying to a sneering misrepresentation,
as of laying before our readers the circumstances which
led both to that treaty and the subsequent one of Unkiar
Skelessi, and thus enabling them to judge of what ought
to be done in future, by contemplating the consequences
of what has been done already. It was the treaty of the
6th of July, 1827, between Russia, France, and Great
Britain, having for its ostensible object the liberation of
Greece from the thraldom of Turkey, which laid the
foundation of the circumstances, whereof the treaty of
Adrianople was the completion. Every one may recollect
that this project with respect to Greece was pre-emi-
nently a project of the party calling itself " Liberal," and
the Treaty of London, in 1827, was made under the Admi-
nistration of the darling of the " Liberals" at that time,
Mr. George Canning. Mr. Canning and Lord Dudley are
the Ministers most directly responsible for the Treaty of
1827, and if they were Tories, it must be confessed that
their supporters ware not Tories, but Whigs. There can
be little doubt at the present day that this combination was
a clever stroke of Russian diplomacy, having for its real
object something very different from the liberation of
Greece. The first practical result of any importance (but
it was very important) arising out of it was the utter de-
struction of the Turkish fleet, by the combined forces of
Great Britain and Russia, in the " untoward" battle of
Navarino. But Russia having contrived to place both
Great Britain and France in a hostile attitude towards
Turkey—at all events until the freedom of Greece was ac-
complished—soon found means to open another quarrel
with the Porte upon her own account. This quarrel arose
out of the Sultan having in his alarm addressed a let-
ter to the Paellas of the provinces, in which he ac-
quainted them that the convention signed on his part
with Russia, a short time before, at Akerman, was a mere
deception to gain time. This letter he was afterwards wil-
ling to retract or explain away, but Russia was determined
to take advantage of existing circumstances. She saw Tur-
key crippled by the loss of her navy, and embarrassed by
the pressure of France and Great Britain on the subject
of Greece. She therefore went to war. and with a vigour
and success which at the time astonished all Europe. No-
thing could stop the victorious march of General Die-
bitsch ; and the Sultan with consternation beheld the Bal-
kan crossed, the fortress of Schoumla left behind, and the
Russian army advancing upon Adrianople. This was in
August, 1829. No doubt he then sought assistance from
the British, and did not receive it, but how could he ? He
still stood out against those arrangements to which Great
Britain, conjointly with Russia, was bound by the " liberal"
treaty of July, 1827. The Duke of Wellington, then at
the head of the Administration, has, as every one may
know, a most religious respect for treaties, and, whether
they be made in concurrence with his political views
or not, he holds himself, when in power, as much bound
to their fulfilment as if they were his own act. It was
in vain, therefore, that the Minister of the Sultan had in-
terview after inter view with Sir R. Gordon on the subject
of the advance of the Russians. He had but one answer—
" you must do that with regard to Greece which we are
bound to co-operate in causing you to do." But the Porte
was obstinate until it was too late to do anything, for the
Russians were at Adrianople. On the Ist of September,
1829, negotiations were opened by the Porte with General
Diebitsch, and after five days' discussion, the Turkish En-
voys asked for some delay to consider of the propositions.
The reply of the Russian was an order for the van of the
army to advance towards Constantinople. This hastened
the negociations so effectually that on the 14th the terms
of the treaty of Adrianople were agreed upon. This treaty,
which the " Liberals" have now the baseness to taunt the
Tories with having suffered, was that very treaty by which
the object that the" Liberals"had been bellowingforfor years
was attained ; narnely,the emancipation ef G reece from Turkish
sway. Let us now turn to the events which concluded in
the Russian triumph of 1833. Egypt rebelled against the
Porte, and on the 21st December, 1832, Ibraham Pacha,
with dreadful and decisive slaughter, utterly routed the
army of the Sultan, in the battle of Koniah. The Sultan
turned towards Europe for help, Lord Palmerston being
then Minister for Foreign Affairs, and very deeply engaged
in establishing by force of arms the " liberal" establish-
ments, called by courtesy independent Governments, which
subsist in Brussels, in Lisbon, and in Madrid. There was
then nothing to hinder the friendly interference of Great
Britain for the preservation of the Turkish empire, except
the want of inclination or the want of power. We believe
Lord Palmerston was magnanimous enough to plead the
latter. At all events the Sultan found that while Russia
was ready to help him with ships of war and armed sol-
diers, Great Britain would only send him despatches.
The enemy was in march against him, and be had no
choice but to apply to Russia. Such was the promptitude
of that power, that though the formal application for aid
was only made from Constantinople on the 2d of February,
1822, a Russian fleet which came from Sebastopol an-
chored at the entrance of the Bosphorus on the 20th of the
same month. A letter requesting that it might not come
quite so close was on its way two days before the fleet ar-
rived, but the Russians anticipated such a request, and
were beforehand with it. The Northern Bear was deter-
mined upon a close hug this time. Before the end of
April, 15,000 Russian soldiers had landed at Scutari, and
more were on their march from the Danube. Thus was
Russia completely master of Constantinople, which event
Great Britain was hindered from preventing by nothing but
the negligence or the impotence of her Government. That
Government was composed of Whigs. The same Foreign
Minister who then presided in Downing-street
from dictating does so still.

Adrianople, with which the Tories are taunted, the Porte
was bound to allow free passage through the Bosphorus to
merchant vessels of all nations not actually at war with
Turkey. No preference was shown to Russia. By the
treaty which the Whigs were too busy or too negligent to
prevent, the Porte was bound to close the strait of the
Dardanelles at the request of Russia, and not to allow any fo-
reign vessels of war to enter therein, under any pretext what-
soever! Does Lord Palmerston thick he has now obtainet:

lous. Having thus furnished a rapid sketch of the circum-
stances leading to the treaties most usually referred to in
recent discussions concerning the power of Russia in the
East, we shall return to the subject with the view of con-
sidering our present position in respect of Russia, and what
our policy ought to in.—Morning Post.
_

Gladly, indeed, would we hail anything like a real honest
and earnest opposition by the British Government to the
ambitious and profligate policy of Russia in the East of
Europe, whether that Government were directed by Whigs
or Tories ; but, unfortunately for the interests of the coun-
try, we, who are not an organ of either party, have just
cause of complaint against both ; for although the insulting
ascendancy of Russia, both in the East and West, has
chiefly grown up to its present state of audacity under
Whig auspices, it cannot with truth be denied, that a Tory
Administration is, in some degree, responsible for the suc-
cesses which, during the last twenty years, have attended
the march of Muscovite ambition. A great error commit-
ted by the Tories, when Poland was erected into an " inde-
pendent kingdom," professedly as a barrier against the en-
croachments of Russia to the West, was the annexing, the
sovereignty of that kingdom to the throne of Russia—
the Power whose encroaching disposition was to be guarded
against—and placing the sceptre in the hands of the
family of Romanoff. With this matter it is but common
justice to say the Whigs had nothing to do ; for they were ,
then a powerless, a prostrate party—and the supremacy of
Toryism was complete. Several years ago we compared
this arrangement--which established Poland as a barrier
against Russia, and gave Russia possession of Poland—to
the policy of that sapient gel ernor of an eastern city who,
to more effectually protect his people against the visits of a
troublesome gang of thieves, placed the keys of his princi-
pal police station in the hen is of a leader of banditti. It
was that statesman, who is better known by the title of
Lord Castlereagh than any other, who having set up Po-
land as a check upon Russia, confided to Russia the ma-
nagement of the check upon herself! The consequences
that might have been easily foreseen occurred. The Rus-
sian Government took the most effective measures to goad
the Polish people into rebellion, that it might have
a colourable pretext for confiscating the national rights
which it had reluctantly admitted. The savage Con-
stantine, the brother of the late and of the reigning
Emperor, was a fit ins.rument to work_ the designs of
the diabolical policy which studied the most ingenious
arts of goading a people to madness in order to extin-
guish their national existence in blood. The vice regal
monster executed his Satanic commission effectually,
though the brave and generous Poles, when they first rose
upon their oppressor and had him at their mercy, spared
his life and sent him out of the kingdom under an escort
to protect him against any ebullition of that popular ven-
geance which he had so wantonly provoked. Europe
knows how that maga mirnity of the conquerors of Con-
stantine was repaid. Count Sebastian', then Louis Philippe's
Minister for Foreign Affairs, put the result upon record in
the memorable words e Order reigns at Warsaw," when
it was the peace of the grave and the desolation of Russian
triumph that reigned there. But this destruction of the
nationality of Poland was under the Ministry of the Whigs.
The treaty of Vienna, which had erected that portion of
ancient Poland which constituted the Duchy of
Warsaw into a kingdom, guaranteed the mainte-
nance of the independence of tl.e new kingdom by England
and France. Of these two countries—the one being at
the time of the Polish revolution under the dominion
of the Whigs, and the other under the sceptre of the
Citizen King, the former deserted the Poles, and the latter
betrayed them. The former acted a pusillanimous—the
latter a perfidious part. For the delinquencies of both in
this matter, we fear, as we even at the time anticipated,
that Europe will yet weep tears of blood. On the plains
of Poland, had England been true to the faith of treaties, as
well as to her own interests, the march of Russian ambition
would have been stayed. Even single-handed the brave
Poles vanquished Diebitsch, the conqueror of Turkey, and
routed successfully four invading armies of barbarians, and
eventually Poland was destroyed more by English gold
than Russian steel. It was the British subsidy sent
at that critical moment to St. Petersburgh, under the
pretence of the Russia-Dutch Loan, which enabled the
Autocrat, when his coffers were exhausted to bring up
new levies of barbarians and overwhelm the unsuccoured
Polish people. If that gold was due by treaty (which
we deny, for the severance of Belgium and Holland
had put an end to the consideration), the protection of
the independence of Poland was no less obligatory, and
if we paid the one to Russia, we ought to have insisted
on the other. But no ; the Whigs were then crawling in
the dust before the Russian Autocrat, and tho genius of
our foreign policy was fast bound in the spell of Russian
fascination. Then came the " organic statutes" which
erased Poland from the map of Europe—then came the
depopulation of Poland, the dragging of Polish Nobles,
chained like malefactors, to the wilds and mines of Siberia—
the tearing of Polish children from the arms of their shriek-
ing mothers—the carrying off Polish young women to the
military colonies of Russia, and all the atrocities which
have devoted the triumph of the Nero of the North to the
execrations of humanity. Russia repaid the British Go-
vernment for its golden succours, and its base subserviency,
by excluding the British flee' from the Black Sea, and by
obtaining behind the back of the British Ambassador at
Constantinople, Lord Ponsonby, the treaty of Unkiar Iske-
lessi, which reduced the Sultitn to the degraded condition
of a vassal of the Czar. But here again justice obliges us
to admit that, with regard to the encroachments of the
Russian power on Turkey and on the British interests of the
East, the Tory Government which preceded that of the
Whigs did not act with sufficient energy and decision. It
must not be forgotten that the Russian Government under
the Wellington Administration gave as solemn a promise
to our own not to blockade the Dardanelles, as the French
Government did not to make any conquests or settlements
in Africa, when preparing to chastise the Dey of Algiers.
Both promises were violated—Russia did blockade the
Dardanelles, and the Tory Government tolerated the
breach of faith : France has colonised her African con-
quests, and is proceeding with new ones, and the Whig
Government makes no remonstrance, and demands no ex-
planation. It is our firm opinion also, that if the Tory
Government had assumed the bold attitude which the
crisis commanded, the humiliating treaty of Adrianople
would never have been inflicted upon Turkey. A little
encouragement from England at that time would have
called forth a spirit of enthusiastic resistance in Tur-
key to Russian ambition, which, victorious as the Rus-
sians were, but far removed from their resources,
and in the midst of a hostile population, would have '
probably prevented a single soldier of the invading
army from re-crossing the Balkan. It is said to be
owing to English interference that the ratification of
the treaty was hastened ; or it is likely that, instead of
Diebitsch and his legions returning covered with laurels,
and laden with spoil, from their Turkish campaign,
the plains of Adrianople would have been whitened with
their bones. That the eyes of the Whig Government are
at length opened to the nefarious designs of Russia we are
disposed to believe ;—we hope they have not become wise
too late. For several years we have endeavoured to make
them understand that the ambitious designs of Russia ex-
tended beyond Turkey and Circassia, and Persia, even to
our East Indian dependencies, which Russia has not lost
sight of from the time that the Empress Catherine
threatened to march her armies in that direction, and rally
the native Indian Princes round the standard of the Great
Mogul. For our efforts in trying to make the Whig Mi-
nisters sensible of taking timely precautions against the
Russian schemes of aggrandisement in the East, we have
been, day after day, taunted and reviled by the Whig
newspapers ; but we now have the satisfaction of seeing
them, though late, come over to our opinions, and speak
of the necessity of resisting that barbarian and perfidious
power, in whose " honourable intentions," and " amicable
assurances" their patrons in Downing-street have so long
confided. As to the state of affairs in Persia, we want
fuller and more positive information than has yet been
received to form a decided opinion upon the course of po-
licy lately adopted by our Ministers, and its success.
That the Persian news, as far as it goes, indicates a British
opposition to Russian influence, is undoubted ; but we
must see a little more of the game

nions of the Schah before we

her.—Morning Herald.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of last Evening.)
SUGAR.—For West India Muscovadoes there was a good
demand in the early part of the week from both grocers and
miners, the private purchases on Tuesday amounting to 900
hhds and tierces, at fully previous rates for both brown and
yellow qualities ; but since then several vessels haring arrived,
has caused buyers to come forward less freely, and there has
been very little business done either for the scale or pan, hut
former prices have been maintained. Two public sales of
Barbadoes, consisting of 247 hhds 6 bils, were principally sold
at their former value, mid to fine quality went at 58s to 655.
This afternoon prices were not supported by 6d, and the
demand was limited both for the sale and refining, the pur-
chases for the week including the auctions are 2,500 hhds
and trs. At auction 56 hhds. Trinidad, and 15 hhds. 62
brls of ether desciptions were offered, which sold at easier
prices, the former brought 52s a 52s 6d for low mid yellow,
and Ms 6d for greyish, the latter went at 58s 6d a 60s for
mid to good mid Barbadoes, brown Dominica 49s 6d, Tor-
tola 49s a 49s 6d.

cery goods, and owing to the supply continuing short, rather
better prices have been obtained ; standard Lumps have
brought 745, rather under 71s a 73a, and good brown 70s.
For exportation there has been more business doing during
the last few days, and stiffer prices have been obtained; double
crushed entitled to the old bounty has been sold at 355.
There remain still in the docks about 300 casks available to
the bounty of 435. 2d.
