REFORM.
Mit. EoITOR--1 have got a new Plan of Re-
form which beats Lord . JOHN'S all to nothing ;
for it will not only re-form the Nation and the
Parliament, but Lord JOHN also, and his family
to boot.
ome writer (BitooKE, think) compares thp
uriStish Constitution to Three Pillars with their
bases extended, .but their capitals resting on, and
s,nl)Ported -by, each-other. Take away one and
the others nizt.it fall .....
Bot:I propose to .do the business on the Steam
-Ingioe systeml- 'every thing, you know, is now
done .'by steam. Some .years ago I happened
t° saunter into the Common Pleas, when an ac-
tion Was going on by BOULTON and WATrs against
Lle:(if thi,ii• Stokers, 'for building Engines in
orowall against their patent : but he pleaded
his was•a• reform and gtiite a new invention.
'odds of each were on the table ; and certainly
9 two things could' appear more distinct and
t'i° lrerent ; but they having been handed up to
tiIQ Bench, in handing down again the new En-
tae happened to be held nearly upside down,
~4"'eti it appeared at once that the Stoker's plan
4S merely the patent one upset, on the prin-
'Pk that steam will act in all directions, where-
er the resistance is least.
si NOW, Sir, on this principle I propose to cap-
c-Ze the Constitution at once ; to make the
°nnnolis, the KING, and the. People, the Sove-
iiNll, leaving the Crown and the Lords to find
their level where they can.
'Apt had some thoughts, at first, of having no
tholisters at all, they are such a sad set ; but
deep We could not conveniently have a pure, in-
f Pendent, patriotic Whig Opposition ; there-
ber they shall remain in power, but there must
boano Power in them. Then the reformed House

We have received the Paris Papers of Satur-
day, which do not contain any news of import-
ance. The last letters from Petcrsburgh are
dated the 2d inst., and are still silent as to the
dispatches of M. de TATISCHEFF.

German Papers have also arrived, from which
we subjoin two articles from the Nuremberg
Correspondent of the 19th inst., respecting the
question between Turkey and Russia. They do
not indeed throw any additional light on that sub-
ject, but the Nuremberg Correspondent observes
that, should the Porte be unable or unwilling to re-
cede from the decision of the 28th of February,
Russia and Turkey must be left to arrange their
differences as they can. We have good autho-
rity for stating that the Porte has resolved on
adhering to that decision, and that Russia con.
siders the conditions of her Ultimatum to be not

only the most moderate she can propose, but also
in strict conformity with existing treaties., The
result of this state of things is so evident that it

is scarcely necessary for us to repeat our opinio

that a war is unavoidable.
" FROM THE DANUBE, Aeutr-14.—The official
• dispatches of the Internuncio at Vera, which
were received with the last post from Constanti-
nople, remain a secret,_ and the public has not
• been able to learn thing of their contents.
• Yet it has been observed, that the conferences
between M. de Tattischeff and Prince Metternich
have since become more frequent ; and it is pre-
' sun-led that the subject of these-conferences is of
the 'highest importance. We hear that the last
remarkable Note of the Reis Effendi has been the
subject of a long conference between Prince
MetterniCh, M. de Tartischeff, and Count Golow.;
kin. This Note was presented in duplicate to
M. de Lutzow and Lord 'Strangford, by the chief
' Dragoman of the Sublime Porte, and is entirely
similar •to the resolutions taken in the Divan on
the. 28th of February. In the above-mentioned
conference; it was. derided that, as the whole
substance of the note was in direct contradiction
to the spirit of the negociations hitherto carried
on at Constantinotile, and to the personally
amicable sentiments which the Ottoman Go.
.vernment had hitherto sliewn through the
whole course of these negociations,
,it would
be proper to send it back to the Aus-
trian Embassy at Vera, with instructions to
return it to time Reis-Effendi, with an official de-
claration, that the Court of Vienna had declined
to receive this note, for the reasons stated. If
now the Turkish Minister should be inclined to
take back this Note, our Court will readily look
on this step of the Porte as having never taken
place ; and the Internuncio she Il be authorised,
in this case, to continue, in concert with the Bri•
tish Ambassador, the diplomatic negociations for
the arrangement of the differences between Russia
and the Porte. We are convinced that the Ca-
binet of St. James's, which, like that of Austria,
desires the maintenance of peace, will fully ap-
prove of the proceedings of the Court of Vienna,
and important dispatches on this subject are ex-
pected from London. But, should the Porte be
unable or unwilling to recede, no course will re-
Main
,for the mediating Powers but to break off
the negociations, to decline further mediation,
and lease the Divan to arrange with Russia as it
'This is the present situation of the relations
with the Porte ; and till this crisis is over, and it is
known what resolution the Porte may think fit to
take under such circumstances, it is very proper
and natural that nothing official should be pub-
lished respecting them. What reception may be
given by the Porte to Übe declaration which M.
de Lutzow is ordered to make in the name of his
Court to the Reis Effendi, cannot be learnt be-
fore the middle of the 'current mouth, and pro-
bably not before the end of it, if we consider the
dilatorinesi of diplomatic proceedings at Vienna;
and as it may certainly be foreseen thit the Reis
Effendi will at all "event'S not uake it upon him-
self to give an immediate answer on his own respon-
sibility to the declaration to be made to him, but
will consider it his duty to ask superior orders ;
we shall, therefore, be obliged to' remain in sus-
pense for some time longer, and to take patience
to the end of April at least to learn something cer-
tain. Meantime the Court of Vienna, we are as-
sured,is prepared in all cases how-to act, whatever
may be the answer of the Porte ; and on this oc-
casion, we hear from all quarters a repetition of the
assurance, that even should war really break out
between Russia and the Porte, Austria does not
mean to depart from the system of neutrality
which it has adopted. They indeed speak of
drawing together an army on the frontier towards
Turkey, to preserve the neutrality of the Aus-
tr•ian territory in case of a breach ; and it has al-
ready been 'discussed in the Council of War, to
what General the chief command of this army
should be entrusted ; and opinions are said to be
divided between Generals Frimont and Kien-
meyer. The regiments of troops of all descrip-
tions are already named, which are to compose
this army of neutrality. In the ordnance de-
partment all the preparations are already made,
so that the troops will be able to leave their re-
spective garrisons at the first notice to march to
the Turkish frontier.
" APRIL 15.—1 t is now asserted that the
Russians will shortly be able to take military
possession of Moldavia and Walachia, for the
roads are becoming passable. The Russians ap-
pear to have purposely delayed their operations
to this period, and are not at all sorry that the
negociations at Constantinople have been linger.

ing so long.'

A Lisbon Mail arrived yesterday with letters
and papers to the 21st. A variety of documents
and reports relating to the first disturbances
which took place at Rio Janeiro had been re-
ceived at Lisbon and laid before the Congress.
The reading of these documents in the Portu-
guese Cortes the news of the late events in the
Brazilian capital, and the project of mutual trade,
created a lively interest, and the discussions to
which the latter subject gave rise led to some
warm altercations.

Private letters from Pnris state, that a propo-
sition has been made to a House of the first
respectability at Paris for a loan for the Spanish
Government, either by way of lottery or sub-
scription, to enable them to send a fleet to their
remaining South American settlements.

Charleston Papers arrived this morning to the
24th March.—Accounts from Paris state, that
M. GALLATIN intends to stay another year in
France, which no doubt will prove beneficial, as
no person is better adapted to arrange the com.
mercial differences between the two countries.

From the great length at which we insert the
important Parliamentary debate of last night, to-

gether witti the pressure of other. hiteresting ;;-
telligence, we are obliged to defer any remarks
on the statement of Lord LONTIONDERRY till to-

morrow.

We refer our Headers to a Letter on Turkey
and Russia, in the 4th page of our paper this day,
from the valuable Correspondent to whom we
are indebted, for the admirable series of Essays
on the HoLy ALLIANCr. It is well entitled to
the attention of all profound Statesmen in every
part of Europe, and we have the pleasure to
say that we have reason to expect many more
favours from the same able pen.

StIkPOSED Loss or THE CONFI ',ICE BRIG or
WAR,.—.Accounts from Cork mention that the
Con/lance brig of war, with a crew of 13(2 men,
is supposed to have been lost in the heavy gales
which have proved so fatal on the coast between
Waterford and Cape Clear. The Conjhince sailed
from the harbour of Cork on Wednesday last.
The apprehension of her loss has arisen from the
circumstance of the dead bodies of several ma-
riners having been washed ashore on some part
of the west coast. The wreck is thought to have
occurred on the Mizen Head or the Dursey Isles :

Confiance.
