LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 1849.

Between Russia and Turkey the independent pro-
vinces of Wallachia and Moldavia have long suffered
the horrors 'of invasion, of pillage, of massacre, and of
general subjugation. Without one of the Western
Powers to interpose in their behalf the unfortunate
population of those principalities have been subjected
in turns to the insolence or to the cruelty of the Porte
or of the Autocrat. They have latterly groaned
under the combined forces of both the great despotic
empires on their frontiers. They are at this moment
suffering grievously from the simultaneous barba-
rities of the Islamites, under FUAD EFFENDI, and
of the Russians under General DUUAMaL. In
violation of all the sacred prerogatives of indepen-
dence, in opposition to all the prescriptive rights of
international jurisprudence, the soldiers of the Est-
PBROU have advanced in one direction upon the
neutral territory of Moldavia, and the soldiers of the
SULTAN have advanced in another upon those of
Wallachia. . _

Subsequently we shall find it very far from diffi-
culty to prove the perfect neutrality of these abused
and unfortunate territories, their full and complete
right of autonomy, their entire insulation from any
authority but that emanating from themselves, and
the absurdity of any claims which may be advanced
in reference to their government either by the Cabinet
of St. Petersburgh or by that of Constantinople. First,
let us narrate as concisely as possible the atrocities
by which they have, within the last few months, been
desolated, and the political degradation to which they
have—with such flogrant and monstrous injustice—
been reduced.

Ever since the Russian despotism sprang into
existence, the Autocrats have yearned to number the
Moldavians and Wallachians among their vassals.
They have allowed this territorial lust after
the Danubian principalities to be apparent
during upwards of a century. But the date of 1828
is the one with which commences the really ener-
getic efforts of Russia against the political and
national existence of Moldo-Wallachia. The arbi•
trary proceedings which were then adventured upon
by the cabinet of St. Petersburgh against those pro-
vinces were persisted in almost uninterruptedly
during a, period_of ten years, when, in 1838, they
were brought to a terrible climax by a succession of
the most grinding and tyrannical acts. Arrogating

PRUSSIA.

COLOGNE, FEB. 26.—The day before yesterday
being the anniversary of the French Revolution, it
was kept here by a grand political dinner, which was
attended by a numerous party. Some very violent
speeches were made, especially by the Deputy GEAD-
BACH, against the house of Hohensollern, the Count
of BRANDENBURG, &C. &C.
A great body of (police paraded the streets both
yesterday and to-day, but no excesses were committed.
A letter from Berlin, of the 24th, states that the
KING'S speech on opening the Parliament would, it
was expected, be couched in conciliatory but firm
terms. Many deputies had arrived in Berlin, and
those of the Left had held a secret meeting. A de-
putation of the members of the Upper Chamber
had offered the presidency to M. DE Rocmow, who
presided over the Three States in the Prussian
Diet, but he had declined to accept it, on account of
ill health.

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

The protest of the Duke of AUGUSTENBURGH
against the Danish Government being extremely
lengthy, we will content ourselves with a few
extracts :—" No King of Denmark has the right
to violate treaties which were concluded between his
ancestors and the Duchies of Holstein, certainly no
King of Denmark of the house of Oldenburg has the
right of uniting Schleswig to the Crown of Den-
mark, because the head of the house of Oldenburg
tne executed an ac' 1.'3"
which be positively forbias natural
heirs from doing this. Consequently lam compelled
by my birth and position as natural heir of King
CHRISTIAN 1., and:as Agnate of the governing house in
the Duchies, to act in conformity with the existing
regulations of my house, and as far as in me lies,
contribute to the maintenance of the rights, succeeded
by my ancestors to the Duchies.

" This duty which Providence has imposed on me by
my birth, I shall never shrink from, and, however,
much I may regret that circumstances have arisen
which have made it my painful duty to appear as the
present head of my house, I have neither given rise
to these circumstances, nor have they been
able to deter me from acting as I felt
constrained to do by justice, duty, and honour. I
must therefore again make a decided protest against
all the complaints and assertions laid to my charge by
the Danish Ministry, and their agents. I protest
more especially against the accusation brought against
me by the Danish Minister for Foreign Affairs, Count
VON MOLTKE, in his instructions of nth Jan. last, and
I declare them, together with all of a similar nature
that have been directed against me, to be gross calum-
nies, which the party at present in Copenhagen in
person are circulating to my detriment, for the pur-
pose of charging me with the guilt to which they
alone have given rise, by their impolitic and unjust
proceedings against the Duchies."—Hamburgh Bor-

THE NORTHERN STATES,

AUSTRIA.

The Austrian Diet, in the sitting of the 21st, conti-
nued the debate on the Bill on fundamental rights ;
and it adopted a clause declaring the absolute liberty
of all forms of worship. Notwithstanding this, se-
veral Members proposed not to allow the establish-
ment of any non-Catholic religious communities, and
particularly German Catholicism ; but their proposi-
tions were rejected. Questions were put to the
Ministry on the subject of the Austrian note to the
Ministry of the German empire, but the answers were
postponed to a future day.
The Independence of Brussels says—
" In consequence of the entrance of the Russians into
Cronstadt and Hermandstadt, the Austrian General
Puchner was able to attack General Bern, and, after a
sanguinary battle, compelled him to retire. The Impe-
rial army then pursued him to Salzburg, where he took
up a position, but was again compelled to retire."

CALEDONIAN.

The adjourned meeting of the
,shareholders was held
on Tuesda:: in EdinlJurgh, for the purpose of receiving
the report of the scrutineers appointed at the half-yearly
meeting .on the provious day (Monday) as to the state
of the vote on the motion submitted by the Chairman,
and the amendment proposed by Mr. Faweel. The
chairman's raotion wrts, that the report of the directors
be approved of, with the exception of that part of it
which related to the contract with the Scottish Central
Company, which was deleted from the report on account
of the opposition offered by Sir Andrew Agnew and
ai its omission would not affect the validity of
the contract in the sligtest degree. Mr. Fawcett's amend-
ment was, That the divident of 3 per cent. recommended
in the report be declared; that the statement in the
report, arid the capital account of the alleged expenditure
out of the funds of the company of 381,2271. 193. 91
in the purchase of shares in subsidiary lines, in con-
travention of the Acts. of Parliament, unsatisfac-
tory to the meeting, and that the meeting refuse to adopt
the said shares and expenditure ; that the statement
in the report of the existence of a working contract with
the Scottish Central line is also unsatisfactory, and that
the meeting refuse to adopt it as respects this company;
and that a committee of shareholders be appointed to
investigate into and report on the financial position of
the company, to whom tire-Tepargffd statement of ac-
counts be rPferrad'i and that the meeting stimd ad-
journed till the 2d of April, to meet at London."
The following was read as the report of the scruti•
neers as to the state of the vote on the respective mo-

tions

Fur the Chairman's motion, 660 shareholders, repre-
senting 1,075,5504 stock, and 8,033 votes.
Fur Mr. Fawcett's amendment, 491 shareholders, re-
presenting 587,9374 stock, and 5,179 votes.
There was thus a majority of 169 shareholders in
favour of the Chairman's motion, and a majority of
stock to the amount of 487,6121., and a majority of
2,854 votes.

- _
The scrutineers stated that they had pleasure in
adding that they found the books of the share depart-
ment to be correctly and methodically kept.
Mr. WILsoN said, that seeing there was such a dif.
ference of opinion among the shareholders as to the
legality of the working contract with the Scottish Cen-
tral Railway, he would suggest that a copy of the case
which the directors had submitted to counsel, and ob-
tained their opinion upon, should be given to those who
represented the shareholders who thought that that con-
tract was.invalid, in order that they might take legal
advice upon it, and come to some understanding which
would set the matter at rest.

• _
The CHAIRMAN (Mr. H. Hind.) said, that the direc-
tors had not submitted a case for the opinion of counsel,
but that they had requested counsel to draw up such a
working contract as they would consider a valid one.
He had no objection to accede to the suggestion of Mr.
Wilson by giving a copy of the contract to those who
took a different view of its validity from the directors.
The meeting then separated.

SPAIN.

The defeat of the band of AMETTLER has been
officially announced by General CONCHA, in a dis-
patch, dated Figueras, Feb. 14, eight P.M. The
dispatch announces that on the morning of that day
LEuUNDL had attacked the band of AMETTLER, on
the heights of the Coll de Requesus, had killed seve❑
men, taken MoLuits, the second in command, and forty
others, prisoners, and had driven AMETTLER and
the remainder of the band, across the frontier into
France.

A survey has been ordered of the river Guadiana
from the lagoons of Rindera to the ocean, for the
purpose of improving the navigation between Badajos
and the sea, and of making the stream above Badajos
useful for irrigation and other industrial purposes.

THE BRAZILS.
FALMOUTH, FEB. 28.—Her Majesty's packet Peterel,
Lieutenant Thomas Creser, arrived here this morning
with the Brazil mails, haring left Rio de Janeiro on the
14th of January. She brings a very small freight, and
the following passengers, namely :—Mr. and Mrs. Da-
venport, Miss Gregg, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, three childr,n,
and servants, Mr. Shephard, Mr. Small, Mr. Protherton,
Mr. Raynon, and Mr. Hockhart.
This vessel brings no news of importance from either
the Brazils or River Plate, although some vague appre-
hensions were entertained at Rio respecting the rumoured
movements of Rosas ; nothing, however, based on cer-
tainty had transpired.
The exchange at Rio had experienced no material
change since the advices recently received; it was, how-
ever, anticipated a decline would soon take place.

UNITED SER VICE.

" A Medical Staff-Officer" has written a chapter
upon the connexion of punishment and crime, begin-
ning with the very correct observation, " Human
nature now is, and undoubtedly ever was, the same,"
in which he expresses a strong disapprobation of the
attempts of " meddling philanthropists" to abolish
capital and corporal punishments. Basing his own
theories upon religious grounds, he quotes in favour
of the gallows and the lash, Scripture texts enjoining
" blood for blood," and not "to spare the rod." As
regards capital punishment much may be urged on
both sides of the question • but as for the system
of flogging, it is hardly possible to conceive
how it can have one consenting advocate.
The text quoted by the " Medical Staff Officer"
has nothing to do with the subject. Parents are
there enjoined to chastise their children, but it says
not a word about one man laying violent hands upon
his fellow. The " Medical Staff-Officer" declares that
" terror is possessed of a stronger impulse, and has
more influence in deterring from crime, than any
system of reward ever devised." Even allowing this
supposition to be correct, we would ask the " Medical
Staff-Officer" if the prevention of the recurrence of
any of those particular offences for which the
lash is applied can compensate for the deteriorated
character of men hardened by public shame, and only
rendered dutiful by the most enervating of human
passions—fear.? :"Regimental Messes" begins with a
very felicitous definition of two abstract personages
who exercise immense authority over human kind—

GERMANY

THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA.

The defeat of the Austrians by BEM is now ac-
knowledged by the Imperialists. In a late skirmish
with the Szeklers the Russians took part with the Aus-
trians, and two Cossack officers were killed.,
The Breslau Gazette of the 2d instant says, that
though General ENGELHARDT may have beaten the
Szeklers near Cronstadt, the victory was not de-
cisive, for the latter have re-passed the Acitta, and
occupied Marienberg, from whence they are ope-
rating against flelsdorf, which is not far from
Cronstad t.

On the 27th of February a ministerial decree was
published in Vienna, giving notice that nolun-
garian notes can be received or remain in circulation
after the 24th instant, they will be confiscated every
where, and delivered to .the Royal provincial banks
and the Central State Treasury, where they
will be mutilated. A proclamation. issued by
Prince WINDISCHGRITZ only last month in
Hungary, stated that for the present all
notes of one and two florins would be re•
ceived in payment by all Hungarian banks,
and that a resolution respecting notes of
higher value would soon be published. Thus, num-
bers who confided in the declaration of the Field-
Marshal, who is delegated with unlimited power by
the EMPEROR, will by this proceeding be reduced to
beggary. The immense damage which this will
occasion to the commercial world, especially, cannot
be conceived, but will be speedily mani.est.
The Emperor FERDINAND was, on the 10th inst.,
elected unanimously in Janobitz, in Styria, Austrian
Deputy to the Diet at Frankfort, and the Archduke
JOHN his substitute. The Minister of Trade and
Commerce, VON BRACE, was also elected yesterday,
at Trieste, Austrian Deputy to the Central Power.
It is said that an octroyee Constitution will be pro-
mulgated on the 17th March.
A Vienna letter says :—" Messrs. ROTHSCHILD and
SINA having definitively refused to undertake to raise
a new loan, and a public subscription having few
chances of success, there is a talk of a project re-
commended to the Minister of Finance by M.
NEUSTADT, to the effect that 200,000,000 florins of
state notes, instead of bank notes, shall be issued of
from 1,000 florins to 25 florins in amount, and bear-
ing interest at 2 per cent. By this issue the floating
debt would be extinguished, and the mortgage of it
(120,000,000 florins) would become the mortgage of
the state notes."

KREMSIBR, FEB. 28.—1 n the sitting of the 27th the
Constitutional Diet adopted the following articles of
the fundamental law :—" The State does not grant
privileges to one religion more than to another.
Nobody is constrained to observe religious acts and
ceremonies, in public or private of any creed which
he does not profess." The motion that " there is no
religion of the State" was not adopted.—Vienna

AUSTRIA.

The battle of the 11th ult., at Buski, did not end
as the Vienna papers stated, in the defeat and death of
Bem ; on the contrary, he completely routed Puch-
ner, compelling him to retreat to Hermanstadt, where
he must wait for reinforcements. The whole of the
open country is in possession of the Magyars.
Serious disturbances have broken out at Cracow.

The Kolner Zeitung has a letter from Berlin of the
2d inst., in which it is stated that the English Cabinet
has issued a note, in which the interference of the
Russians in Transylvania is approved of. It would
appear that the Russian Government, previous to its
troops entering Transylvania, dispatched a general
note to the Cabinets of Europe, declaring that
Transylvania must be occupied by Russian troops;
that the Hungarian war was intimately connected
with a conspiracy in Podolia and the Danubian prin-
cipalities, and that the Russian Government, however
averse t;• interfere in the affairs of other nations, was
merely guarding its own and dearest interests by
opposing the successes of the Hungarian insurgents in
Transylvania.
The same paper gives some particulars of the
battle of Deva, which took place on the Oth ult., and
in which the Imperial troops were defeated by Gene-
ral Bem. The fight was bloody in the extreme.
It lasted from 8 in the morning till 6 o'clock in the
afternoon, and ended with the flight of the Imperi-
alists, one of whose regiments of foot was almost
literally cut to pieces. Another battle was fought in
the night of the 12th ult. with the right wing of the
Imperial army, which had managed to keep its ground
after the battle of Deva, but which was likewise
driven back and dispersed in this encounter. The
fugitive Imperial troops rallied on the 12th ult. at
Herrnanstadt, when the Russians protected them
from further pursuit.

ITALY.
The Grand Duke of Tuscany arrived at Gaeta on
the 24th ult.
The Alba of the 24th ult. publishes the following
decree of the Roman Assembly :
"In the name of God and the People : The Roman
National Assembly declares that the whole Republic is
accountable for all the losses the generous Ferrara or
-
0
other portion of the Roman territory may suffer from
Q .
e invasion of Austrian oppressors.

the hearing of appeals was adjourned.

KENSINGTON AND HAMMERSMITH.

Mr. MACGREGOR gave notice of his intention to
move, on the 15th instant, the following resolution—
" That in consideration of the parishes of Kensington,
Chelsea, Fulham, and Hammersmith, containing a popu-
lation of about 120,000 inhabitants, residing on an area
not exceeding 8,000 acres, and comprising also above
iB,OOO houses, of the annual value of 10/. and upwards;
and further, in consideration that there is no other dis-
trict in Great Britain with so great a number of inha-
bitants and houses unrepresented directly in this House,
it is expedient and just to incorporate, by an Act of
Parliament, the parishes of Kensington, Chelsea, Ful-
ham, and Hammersmith, into a Parliamentary Borough,
empowered to return two Members to this House, to
fill up the vacancies caused by the disfranchisement of
the late borough of Sudbury."

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 27th ult. have arrived.
On that day an attempt was to be made in the
Chamber of Deputies to upset the Ministry on the
project of law relating to public worship and the
clergy. This attempt is made by the moderate
Progressistas, who have formed a coalition with the
Puritanos. PACHECO and CORTINA are the leaders of
the Coalition. _

CABRERA has completely recovered from his wound,
and has resumed his command in Catalonia.

AGRICULTURAL BURDENS.

Mr. lIUME gave notice of his intention to
move, as an amendment to the motion of the
Honourable Member for Buckingham, " that if
the regular taxation of the country pressed un-
equally on property, of which there was no proof
afforded, that it ought to be immediately removed, but
with a view to grant speedy relief, it was the opinion of
the House that the Excise duties ought to be immediately
removed, especially the duties on malt and hops."
TRANSPORTS.

Mr. ROBINSON gave notice that to-morrow he
should put a question to Government relative to the
treatment of transports on board ship.

London, England, 1849-03-06

LIGHT AND DOCK DUES.

Mr. \YAWN wished to ask the Right Hon. the Pre-
sident of the Board of Trade, whether it was the inten-
tion of the Government to bring in a Bill
to abolish the payment of doub!e dues to
corporations, companies, or individuals for foreign
vessels which, under treaties of reciprocity, or other-
wise, are admitted into the ports of the United Kingdom,
for light dues, dock dues on ships or merchandise, pilot-
age, or otherwise. It appears about 650,0001. have
been paid out of the consolidated dues of Customs on ac-
count of double dues.

Mr. LABOUCHERE replied that in cases where
foreign ships, by treaties of reciprocity, were allowed to
enter the ports of these corporations on equal terms with
British ships, payments had been made out of the Con-
solidated Fund in the way of compensation for the loss of
their dues.—(Hear.) With regard to the question itself,
as to whether Government intended to introduce a Bill
to abolish these dues, he begged to state that Govern-
ment had no such intention.

UNITED STATES AND THE NAVIGATION
• LAWS.

Mr. Alderman THOMPSON inquired of Viscount
Palmerston if any answer had been received from the
Government of the United States of America to the
letter of Mr. Crampton, of the date of the 16th day of
January last, respecting the proposed relaxation of the
British navigation-laws.
Lord PALMEItSTON said that no official communi-
•ation had been received from the Government of the
United States, but he had no doubt, when an answer
came, that it would be couched in the same conciiia-
tory spirit as that which was expressed in Mr. Ban-
crott's last communication,
METROPOLITAN POLICE.

Mr. LUSHINGTON said it appeared from an account
of the expenditure of the Metropolitan Police that there
was a balance on the credit side of 63,0001., and he wished
to know in whose hands the custody of that money was
placed.
Sir GEORGE GREY said the receivers of the police
rates had the custody of the money, but they were re-
quired to give ample security, and to deposit the money
in the Bank of England, from which they could not
withdraw it without a chequo countersigned by other
parties.
London, England, 1849-03-06

FRAN CE.

The state prisoners at Vincennes were transferred
to Bourges on Sunday. They were guarded by a
strong escort, who had orders to prevent, at any cost,
the_prisoners from being rescued.
Two notes from the Prince de Schwartzenburg,
dated Vienna, 25th ultimo, were received on the
instant by Baron Thom, the Austrian Minister in
Paris, who communicated their contents to the
Minister for Foreign Affairs.
The first of these notes refers to the Roman ques-
tion. In it the Prince reminds the Minister of the
fears of Austria with respect to the conduct of the
rope in the commencement of his reign, and obserobservesthat, although the Imperial Government had antici-
pated that the system of reform inaugurated by Pius
IX. would ultimately produce disastrous conse-
quences for the repose of the Italian Peninsula,
and though well aware that the adulators
of the Pontiff (who had always been conspirators
against society) would in the end turn against him,
and treat him with the basest ingratitude, neverthe-
less Austria considered herself bound to support the
temporal power of the Pope, which had been conse-
crated and ratified by a duration of ten centuries ;
and, moreover, guaranteed by the Treaty of Vienna,
signed by all the powers of Europe, and by a subse-
quent convention, dated January 12, 1832, signed by
France, Austria, Prussia and Russia. The
note goes on to say, that it is an
error to suppose that the question is one which
merely interests Italy. It is a question which in-
terests every power in Europe; as there is none
in whose dominions are not found members of the
church of which the Pope is the head. It is time,
therefore, that the powers who are parties to this last
convention should adopt measures to enforce its exe-
cution, and put an end to the anarchy which is dis-
turbing the tranquillity of Europe, and in this Austria
is ready to co-operate.
The second note relates to Tuscany. Prince
Schwartzenburg insists upon the right of Austria to
interfere as ahe thinks proper, the Grand Duchy being
governed by a Prince of the house of Austria. The
note makes particular reference to a treaty con-
cluded in 1735, and confirmed in 1736, between
Austria and Louis XV., by which the latter bound
himself IR his own name and that of his successors
to defend the right of the Duke of Lorraine to the
possession of Tuscany, which had been transferred
to kim in exchange for Lorraine, which was then
annexed to France. The 100th article of the Treaty
of Vienna and subsequent conventions had restored
the Duchy to the Arch-Duke Ferdinand of Austria.
The Kings of the Two Sicilies, Sardinia, and
Spain, and the Germanic body had concurred
in those conventions, and were bound, as well as
France, to defend the rights of the reigning house
of Tuscany. Such is the substance of the notes
communicated by Prince Schwartzenburg to Baron
Thom, and ordered to be laid before the French
Government. It is probable that copies of the same
will have been communicated to the other European
Governments alluded to in them.
