BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS.

ST. PETERSBURGH, MARCH 2.—By -the Emperor's ()r-
-iders, a quarantine establishment is to be formed at the Su-
linsky Mouth of the Danube. It is to be in two parts, one
for pratiques, and the other for suspicious vessels and goods ;
the first in the island of Leti, the second in the island of
Georgiewsk. No goods are to be purified in the establish-
ment, but they are to be forwarded to the Quarantine
Establishment at Odessa, or that at Ismael—it will serve
as a place of refuge for ships which are compelled by storms
in the strong current of the Danube, to touch at Sulinsky,
to take in provisions, or to undergo repairs. Merchants,
the clerks, and other travellers will be received into it who,
after the expiration of their quarantine, wish to go by land
to Ismael—a permission granted likewise to the crews of
ships that may be wrecked in the vicinity of these islands.—
Frankfort Paper, March 16.
BRussELes MARCH 18.—The Committee of the Senate
for the eY.amination of the Municipal law has lately met
every d•Ay. It has agreed unanimously to propose the
adoption of the law without any modification.
(From the private Correspondence of the Courrier Beige.)
On the 11th of this month the King of Holland was
summoned before the Tribunal of the First Instance at
Brussels, to appear within the time fixed by the law (two
months), there to hear himself condemned to pay to the
Directors of the General Society for the Encouragement of
National Industry the sum of Eighteen millions of francs,
the amount of the balance due on shares taken by the
Monarch in a credit opened in 1829, for which certain
shares remained as security.
" FRANKFORT, MARCH 13.—1 t was stated some time,
upon the authority of letters from St. Petersburgh, that the
Emperor Nicholas intended to make a journey to Warsaw.
This news has just been confirmed by the Allgemiene Zei-
tung. We learn that the Emperor intends particularly to
examine the citadel which is now completed.—Brussels

FLOGGING in the ARMY and NAVY

The following Petition was agreed to unanimously by the
Court of Comrhori Council on Thursday, upon the motion of
Alderman Harmer, who brought up the Report of the Gene-
ral -Purposes Committee, on the reference moved by Mr.
Baylis
'• To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom
in Parliament assembled, the humble Petition of the Lord
Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of London,
in Common Council assembled.
" Sheweth-:--That your petitioners, as the representatives of
the citizens of London, deem it to an important duty to ex-
press their opinions to your Honourable House on any sub-
ject materially affecting the rights, liberties, or happiness of
the community, or deeply involving the character and honour
of their country.
" That the punishment of flogging in the army and navy,
which for a long time past has engaged a large share of public
interest, and excited the abhorrence of all classes of society,
has been especially forced on the attention of your petitioners
by two recent instances of military punishment, which was
speedily-followed by the death of the victims. That your peti-
tioners believe that the inefficiency of flogging for the pro-
motion of naval and military discipline is susceptible of the
strongest proof which fact or argument could furnish on any
subject. That your petitioners are nevertheless of opinion,
that the cruel torture and debasing tendency of this system
could not be palliated, much less justified, by any appeal to
expediency. They recognize in it one of those flagrant out-
rages on the natural morals against which the best feelings of
our human nature instinctively revolt; and- they, therefore,
most sincerely and earnestly hope that a concern for the
honour of the country, the reputation of the navy and army
of England among neighbouring nations, combined with a
regard to public opinion frequently, strongly, and, without
distinction of party, very generally expressed, will prevent
any attempt to defend and maintain a mode of punishment,
demoralizing and degrading those who inflict, to those who
sunr, and to those who witness it.
" That the instances to which your petioners have alluded
arc only t'so out of many in which death has speedily followed
the infliction of the punishment ; that however heinous the
off:eices, or some of these cases may have been, they were not
Sun as on any principle of justice or morality could be visited
with capital punishment, even in its ordinary form, unaccom-
panied by protracted suffering, and that this destruction of
hum in life has been accompanied with a species of torture
utterly at variance with the general spirit of our laws, the feol-
irgs iintl habits of our countrymen, and the principle of Chris-
tianity. Your petitioners, therefore, humbly pray your Ho-
nourable Ilouse to repeal the laws which authorize the punish-
ment of flogging- in the army and navy."
