made to 13UONAPARTe5 propositions must naturally
have irritated his irascible temper„ and can it be
doubted that if he had it in his power to overwhelm
Austria, as we are told in his Papers that he has,
that he would have hesitated to do it, or that his
political relations with Russia would have delayed
his operations for a moment ?

The Proclamation which los lately published in
Russia, against all persons -circulating false and--un-
favourable reports, has very much the appearance of
being of Friillicit' origin, and most probably was the
produ&ion of CAs LAi coua r. The discontents which
have manifested themselves in Russia have caused
great uneasiness to the Emperor ALEXANDER.—
When be was overturned in his carriage some time
ago, he could not be persuaded that it was the efied
of accident, and upon his return to the palace, he
expressed his apprehensions in very unequivocal
terms. Mad. RENARD, however, and CAULAlti-
coura, succeeded in calming his apprehensions.

One of the Opposition Papers has this morning
made a very curious discovery, which is, that because
a partial change has taken place in the Administra-
tion, that therefore Parliament ought immediately to
be assembled. No authorities have been quot-
ed in Support of this do&rine, and the rea-
soning is such as might naturally have been
expected in aid of so sagacious a proposition.—
The argument stands thus :—When a Member of
Parliament accepts a place of profit under the Crown'
he vacates his seat—therefore, when any change
takes place in the Administration, Parliament must
be immediately assembled. Now, we really do not
see that such a conclusion necessarily follows from
such premises, or that they have any natural
connexion. The late Ministers certainly were
not aware of this new . doctrine, or if they
were, they did not aa upon it ; for though., tip-
on Mr. Fox's death, there were changes in the
Foreign Office, and in the Admiralty, yet it was not
. deemed necessary to call Parliament together, nor
did it, we believe, once enter into any body's imagi-
nation that such a measure was necessary.
