NEW BANK CHARTER.

(Concluded from The Sun of yesterday.)

Mr. R. JACKSON protested most seriously against the
principle which had been advanced, that because the Go-
vernment had made up their minds, therefore thefate of
the Bank was sealed. It was forgotten that the Ministry
had yet to come before a free Parliament, and make
them believe that theirs was a wise measure. As
to the term of years that the Charter should continue,
he would say, if the Bank teas conducted in the
same manner as they had done for the last hundred years,
—if they continued to serve the public as they had done,
no Minister would dare to give the notice which they had
the power to do. So far as the plan was connected with
the question of Country Banks, he would mention that,
in order to support them, the Bank had decreased its bul-
lion to less than one million, and he supposed that the making
of the notes a legal tender, was for the purpose of preventing
such another crisis. But he was not sure that the plan
would do well, because it might ruin the Bank in three
days. Suppose a run was begun upon the country
bankers, who would issue a whole host of notes, which
again might come running in like a full tile, and
how they would be prepared for such a case, he
was quite at a loss to know. Then as to the
three months' bills being freed from the Usury Laws,
he read that clause with fear and trembling, for he thought
they would open the door very wide to fraud, and they
would be deluged with a sort of bills called in the com-
mercial world " kites," which would be the greater in
number as the flyers of them were more desperate.
Such a proposition threw the reins upon the neck
of one of the worst passions of human nature._
avarice. As to publicity of accounts, he perfectly
agreed i❑ the propriety of such a plan, and hoped that it
would be left to the Directors and Government to select
the manner in which the publication should take place.
The last point on which he would address the Court was
the payment of 25 per cent. of their capital, and he
looked at it in a view quite unconnected with profit. He
thought the plan was bad, inasmuch as in place
of enlarging the security to the public, which they ought
to do, they were lessening it. He saw by the correspond-
ence that the Directors had taken the same view of the
matter, and all he proposed was to leave them again to
press the matter upon the Goverment.
The lion. Proprietor then read a resolution to enable
the Directors to prevail upon Ministers not to pay off 25
per cent. of their capital ; but said be should not press it
unless it appeared to meet the approbation of wiser men
than himself. . _

To the EDITOR of the MORNING CHRONICLE.
Paris, June 2, 1833.
Sir,—The cause of Poland is progressing,
I do not say with rapidity, but I do say with
certainty; and the people of Europe have be-
stirred themselves not a little, on behalf of the
noble and heroic victims of Russian despotism,
and Russian cruelty. The •" cheers of Bir-
mingham" have shaken the Kremlin7at Moscow
—the sympathies of the French people have
drawn forth tears of blood and indignation from
the iron heart and iron head of the Czar
and his courtiers—and the affectionate interest
with which the Polish refugees are every
where received in every portion of civilized Eu-
rope has galled to the quick their implacable and
savage foes. The Polish associations established
in England have produced great good. The
Polish Magazine published in England has en-
couraged and cheered many a trembling and
faint heart. It has led also to the publication
of Le Polonais in Paris, and by this means not
only will public interest and "public feeling be
kept alive—but the Pole himself, who is pro-
scribed, wandering and often penny less, will find
this very publication re-act upon him, and in-
spire him with a double portion of that patriot-
ism and courage which his example has first ex-
cited in the breast of others. This is admirable
Polish courage and Polish virtue excited British
sympathy—British love of liberty, and British
magnanimity ; and the development of those
British feelings in the Polish societies and Po-
lish publications have in their turn acted on the
fainting, trembling, famishing, prostrate and ex-
piring Pole, who seized ere he dies the fragment
of his father's sword, and vows even yet--Poland
shall be free ! Let then those good and gene-
rous men in Great Britain, who labour for the
cause of Poland, take courage and persevere.
Not one of their efforts is thrown away. Not
one of their essays is unobserved or unread.
All that they are doing is making sonic distinct
and beneficial impression, and leading to some
definite and desirable result. The desponding
are cheered, the timid are encouraged, the
doubtful are confirmed, the wounded and dying
are consoled, and the best of causes is most
powerfully supported by the pious anti benevo-
lent, generous, humane, and well-directed efforts
of British patriotism and British eloquence. In
like manner, the efforts of English patriots in
favour of the Poles have had their effect in
France. France took the lead—England fol-
lowed ; and now, when sometimes France ap-
pears disposed for a moment to flag, she is sti-
mulated to perseverance and increased energy
by the proceedings in favour of Poland at public
meetings in England. Oh, how those cheers,
which were given for the cause of Poland by
assembled thousands at the late Birmingham
meeting, have gladdened, excited, and animated
the friends of Poland in France. In Germany,
and in Switzerland, they have also ere this been
heard ; and in some of those small states and
cantons where it requires a vast deal of courage
as well as love of liberty to speak out and declare
one's opinions, how the timid and the despond-
ing will be cheered on in their sympathies, when
they learn that the cause of Poland is made the
cause of the British people.
These reflections have been naturally sug-

.....
Mr. LLOYD said that he did not see any necessity for
altering the terms of his resolution.
Mr. WEEDING said that be in the main approved of
the original resolution. At present the Bank notes issued at
branch banks were the only ones payable at those branches ;
it was not to be supposed, as some feared, that G.Nerninent
would attempt to alter their practice. The having to pay
all notes in London would be no inconvenience, for although
they might issue 10,000,0001. more of notes, they would
receive securities, which would buy gold, for every far-
thing of it. The Honourable Proprietor feared, how -
ever, the consequences of the proposition exempting
short hills from the operation of the Usury Laws.
He proposed such an addition to the fourth resolution as
would not leave it to be supposed by Parliament that the
Bank approved of the abolition of the usury laws.
Mr. LLOYD then rose to reply. I❑ answer to what
fell from Mr. Young, as respected publicity of accounts,
he said that evidenly that gentleman merely wished for
publicity to know the profits of the Banks ; but he looked
upon it on much higher grounds—the safety of the public,
and the keeping of the Bank in a proper course. In-
deed, he was only afraid that a quarterly publication was
not calculated to quiet the public mind, ;Ind he hoped if it
were found inadequate, the question could be opened again
within the ten years. As to the usury laws, he would only
refer the Court co the evidence of Mr. H. Palmer and Mr.
Norman, two of the best informed of the Directors. Thl,
only ques ion, then, to be decided was, I-ad the Direcors
done right i❑ saying, " We think with the plan you pro-
pose we can carry on the business of the Ban4t with satin
faction to ourselves, and benefit to the public." The re-
solution which he bad proposed did not in any way shackle
the Directors in any further discussion they might have
with the Government: The Hun. Gentleman sat down
amidst loud applause.
There were then loud cries of " Question," the amend-
molt was put, when not more than half a dozen hands
were held up for it. The original motion (Mr. Lloyd's)
was then put, and carried almost unanimously.
The Court then adjourned.

gested by an official letter, a copy of which has
just reached me, and which has been addressed
by the Ambassador of Austria to the Swiss Vo-
rort. This Austrian letter, from a man named
De Bombelles, has let out the secret of Aus-
trian annoyance and Austrian apprehension. An-
other letter has likewise been forwarded by the
representative of the Germanic Confederation to
the Swiss Diet, and the burden of both is the
same. A handful of brave and intelligent Po-
lish officers and soldiers have been distributed
about Switzerland ; have been well received by
most of the Governments, and treated with kind-
ness and hospitality by the natives. And because
of this simple fact, Austria is in a state of alarm.
Prince De Metternich has given orders to the
Austrian Ambassador to represent to the Swiss
Vorort the danger ! ! which may result to the
neighbouring states in consequence of the sojourn
of the Polish refugees in their cantons ; and De
Bombelles has implored the Diet to take all ne-
cessary and practicable measures for assuring to
Germany the absence of these disturbers ! ! of
the public peace ! How admirably this lets us
into the secret of Austrian meanness, and Aus-
trian apprehensions ! Austria trembles for her
Venetian Lombardy ! ! Austria knows that it
is not true that the inhabitants of those States
are happy or prosperous, as the Austrian Ob-
server would sometimes endeavour to convince
us. Austria knows that nothing would be easier
than to overturn her power in Lombardy with
only a few thousand troops ; and so false is her
position—so unpopular her Government —so
ruinous her imposts—and so feudal and servile
her laws and mode of governing, that Austria
knows that in Lombardy the presence of a few
thousand Swiss or French troops would settle
the whole question in a few days. In what a
miserable plight must be this Austrian Govern-
m which Is literally so terrified at the pre-
senceeiit of only a few Polish officers and soldiers in
Switzerland, that it deems it necessary to address
a solemn diplomatic communication to the Chiefs
of the Swiss Confederation to implore them to
take measures to prevent the progress of liberty
out of Switzerland. The same observation ap-
plies to the letter of the representative of the
German Diet. The King of Wirtembsrg,
the Duke of Baden, the King of Hanover,
the King of Prussia, the King of Bavaria,
and a host of Electors, Grand- Dukes, and
petty Princes, are all in a state of nervous
excitement and apprehension, because a few
Polish officers and soldiers have arrived in
Switzerland ; and not content with being repre-
sented by M. de Bombelles, the Austrian Am-
bassador, they have charged their own special
Minister at Berne to implore the Swiss Repub-
licans not to allow the Poles to obtain passports,
or under any pretext to leave the Swiss cantons.
The representative of Prussia has taken the same
course. All travellers are to be examined—
their baggage and papers explored and inspected

explicit account of the motives of their journey.

that Eosnia, where hes-was residinton the 17th
May, did not offer those serious symptoms of
dissolution which have been published by the
German journals in the pay of Austria. He
admits, certainly, that considerable agitation
existed, but nothing to justify the demand of
troops made to the Sultan by Prince Milosch.
Austria wishes to interfere. She has set Prince
Ntilosch and his agents to work. The public
mind is being prepared for the approaching in-
vasion of Turkish provinces by Austrian armies,
and the Austrian Government has doubtless
resolved this time on making the expedition one
of conquest as well as one of intervention between
..he Sultan and his subjects. But this is not all.
Austria is interfering in Switzerland, and has
advanced her troops close to the Swiss fron-
tiers. She has begun by counselling the Vorort,
then by dictating as to the interior affairs of that
country, recently by intrigues at Zurich and at
Basle, and now she requires that no Pole be
allowed in all Switzerland to be supplied with a
passport; and, finally, Austria is preparing to
intervene in the affairs of Savoy and Piedmont.
She has counselled the King Charles Albert to
issue a murderous, and war-to-the-knife procla-
mation against the Press, and Prince Metternich
has advised the King of Sardinia to apply for
Austrian aid against his own subjects, which
shall not be refused him. At this very moment,
Savoy and Piedmont would be free, but that the
Austrian troops are at their frontiers, whilst the
French Doctrinnaires remain passive, and cheer
on in its policy the Cabinet of Vienna. This
Austrian intervention in all the affairs of Europe,
ought not to be so treated by Lord Grey or by
he Duke de Broglie. But I am sorry to re-
cord, that for the sake of maintaining peace, the
Cabinets of the North are allowed by the French
and English Governments to trample with im-
punity on the rights and liberties of the people
of Europe.
The Chamber of Deputies, or, I should
rather say the Doctrinnaires and their agents,
yesterday came to a memorable vote on the sub-
ject of a pension to be granted to the widow of
the brave and illustrious defender of the Fort of
Vinciennes. M. Dupin, who, with all his faults,
is not a Do etrinnaire, but is a man of feeling,
patriotism, and independence, and who, above
all, is opposed to all that is unjust, aristocratic,
and savouring of the Restoration—proposed
some time since a pension of 2401. to the widow
of the illustrious Daumesnil. The Minister of
War seconded the demand, and eventually in-
troduced a law to this effect. But the law was
not one of the Doctrinnaires, but one of
" Soult's and Dupin's," and has progressed
through the Chamber in the ordinary manner.
Yesterday the law came on for discussion, and
the poor and desponding widow of Daumesnil
thought that the vote was certain. But no !
The Doctrinnaires could not forgive Daumesnil.
He had defended the Empire against the Re-
storation—and had refused the gold and the
bribes, the honours and the promises of Louis
XVlll.—and of the Holy Alliance. To re-
ward Daumesnil appeared then to them to he
rewarding the enemies to legitimacy—and when
the law was made the subject of a secret vote—
it was rejected by a majority of thirty ! This
vote will not be forgotten by the army—nor by
the Republicans—nor by the patriots—nor by
the people. The army is already more repub-
lican than ever. It is disgusted with the march
of the Government—and if it could do so, that
Government would dissolve it. Every day the
Government becomes less popular with the
army, and a week never elapses without some
regiment having manifested its aversion to the
present order of things in this country. This
spirit of disaffection will be not a little increased
by the vote of the Doctrinnaires on the pension
of Daumesnil's widow. Believe me, its rejec-
tion will produce a profound impression in the
country; and in the army we shall hear yet more
cries of " Vive la Republique !" Give ua time
—give us time—and you will see important and
radical changes in all that now exists in France.
Your obedient servant, 0. P. Q.

they are no friends to Polish independence, they
are to be sent back to Switzerland as suspected
and dangerous persons. How amusing it is to
watch the helplessness and manoeuvrings of these
miserable and alarmed legitimatists. Though they
have hundreds of thousands of troops at their
service—though they have the French Doc-
trinnaires ever willing to aid them in putting
down all sorts of rebellion ! !—though they have
had the budgets of some thirty States at ,their
control—though Austria, Russia, and Prussia
are bound together by an indissoluble league—
and though have only armed against them a
few hundred Polish patriots in Switzerland, all
refugees, all pennyless, and all relying upon
public opinion and public sympathy ; yet so tot-
tering are all their thrones, so insecure are all
their dynasties, so unpopular are all their Go-
vernments, that they fear even the movements of
these few Polish refugees, and dread lest insur-
rection should result even from their mere pre-
sence in a neighbouring country—l mean Swit-
zerland. What a high opinion must these men
have of the loyalty ! and fidelity ! devotion, and
satisfaction of their subjects ! These Dukes
and Electors, Grand Dukes, Kings, and Princes
of Germany, Austria, and Prussia, are, on the
contrary, so well aware that the mass are dissa-
tisfied, that the millions of their subjects are
burning to be free ; that they have only the
Nobles and privileged classes for the existing
Governments ; and that all the rest of the po-
pulation are opposed to them ; that they appre-
hend this discontented mass may even become
agitated by the presence of Polish patriots in
the cantons of Switzerland ; and they would
prefer infinitely the plague or the cholera morbus
to a mere handful of men devoted to the cause
of European improvement and general civiliza-
tion. You see, then, that these despots cannot
keep their own secret ! It must and will come
out in spite of them I The example of Poland
has produced a vast effect in Europe. In vain
do the Governments of Germany call the Poles
" factious," " turbulent," " disturbers of the
public peace," and " dangerous and disloyal
men." " Loyalty" is no longer a popular word
in Germany. They have substituted " pa-
triotism" for it. The Germans no longer love
their Kings, for they have one after the other
oppressed and robbed them—but the Germans
now love their country instead of their Monarch,
and from this circumstance we may have hope
for Poland as well as for the eventual indepen-
dence and happiness of the States of the German
Confederation. I say, then, the cause of Poland
is progressing. The efforts of Austria to pre
vent, or to neutralize the effect of that progress,
will all be abortive. The Poles are in England,
in France, in Switzerland, and in Germany, and
they will remain there, nourished, loved, cheered,
and encouraged until the moment shall arrive,
when, in spite of Russian gold and Russian
tyranny, Poland shall once more be independent
and free ! !

THE INTERVENTION OF AUSTRIA IN
THE AFFAIRS OF EUROPE—an intervention,
wholly opposed to the avowed policy of France,
which is that of not interfering in any State be-
tween a King or a Government and its subjects,
is an immense evil which we must not overlook,
and must hasten to expose. After the revolu-
tion of July, 1830, France declared to Austria,
to Russia, to Prussia, and to Great Britain, that
she could not tolerate the intervention of any
Power in the affairs of any people, i. e., between
the people and its Government or King. This
was all very well, considered as a declaration on
the part of France, that she would not suffer her
revolution to be interfered with, and would not
permit that any one should question her why she
had driven from the throne three races of Kings
in as many days. But this principle of non-inter-
vention was soon violated in the case of Belgium,
and France became a party to the Conference of
London. This violation of the principle of
non-intervention justified to a certain degree the
interference of Russia in the affairs of Poland,
on the part of the King of Poland, who was
also Emperor of Russia, against the Poles.
When I make use of the word " justified," I
do not mean justified in the eyes of the people,
but only in the eyes of the Allied Powers;
since Louis Philip, who consented to form part
of the London Conference as to the affairs of
Belgium, and to assign a Sovereign to the Bel-
gians, and another to the Greeks, without
scarcely consulting them, could have no right
to complain of the conduct of the Emperor
Nicholas when he came to his own relief as then
ex-King of Poland. This intervention of
France in Belgian affairs, and of Russia in those
of Poland, has induced Austria to intervene yet
more obnoxiously, and generally in the affairs
of all Europe. She began in Italy. The Ita-
lians demanded liberty. They fought and bled
for their cause, and they would have suc-
ceeded, but that Austria interfered with large
armies to put down with cannon ball the cause
of constitutional freedom in the South of
Europe. The Italians rose voluntarily—the
Italians knew what they desired, and were clear
and precise iu their demands—and it was not
Propagandism, but national feeling, which in-
stigated the movement. But, through Austrian
armed intervention, the people have for a mo-
ment failed, though, be assured, the cause is
not forsaken, and a more general and successful
insurrection will take place hereafter. Next, Aus-
tria interfered in the affairs of Frankfort. There
was an insurrection in that city which was pu!
down, or which ceased without the presence of a
single foreign soldier. Frankfort did not demand
foreign aid. Frankfort wished for alterations in
her own Constitution and Government. Frank.
fort was not afraid of her own population—and,
as far as the Erneute had to do, simply with the
Government of that " free town," the object
desired might easily have been obtained. Then
why should Austria interfere ? What necessity
was there—or is there for the occupation of that
city by Austrian troops ? None whatever, ex-
cept that the Austrian Government is appre-
hending the triumph of liberal and national in-
stitutions in Germany; and it therefore begins
by attempting to crush them in a republican free
city. 'Pais occupation of Frankfort by Austtian
troops is scandalous, and may lead to vast evils
in Germany, and, above all, to the defeat of
liberal and enlightened measures. But to Aus-
tria this occupation of the Roman States, and of
Frankfort, was not sufficient. Servia has par-
tially risen against the Sultan, and Austria has
proposed to interfere. A traveller just Arrived

FALMOUTH PACKETS.—It will be seen by
referring to our Parliamentary report, that a petition
(signed, we understand, by between 70 and 80 highly
respectable inhabitants of this town and neighbourhood)
was presented to the House of Commons on Thursday,
the 23d of May, on the subject of the repeated losses of
be 10 gun brigs, employed aa packets since 1823, on this
station, five of them being missing, supposed to have
thundered with their crews and passengers, amounting to
►hout 200 persons—and praying the House to sanction the
immediate introduction of a safer and better description of
vessel. It will further be seen, too, that Captain ELLI-
OTT, the Secretary of the Admiralty, replied to its state-
ments, as if it bad been couched in a spirit of hostility to
tbe present system, which we sincerely regret, since we
know that the petition was founded upon feelings of hu-
manity only ; and this is confirmed by the f:►ct that it was
got up immediately after a very liberal subscription in
favour of the widows and fatherless children of the late
crew of his Majesty's packtt-brig Calypso, and which
subscription was supported in a manner creditable to
the community both in and out of the public service.
The lion. and Gallant Captain also made some statements,
relating both to the hired packets under the post-office,
and to those under the Admiralty, which we are informed
are, for the most part, very incorrect, but as his commu-
nication to the House, that " vessels ate now building of
a superior construction to those now employed for the
packet service," is perfectly satisfactory to the petitioners,
their sole object of eliciting a declaration from the Mini.
ratty, that the present 10 gun brigs are to be superseded,
having been obtained, we abstain from any further allu-
sion to them, in the full expectation that the new vessels
will, i❑ progress of time, restore confidence to the com-
mercial part of the community in particular, and bring the
packet establishment into its former good repute for safety
and accommodation, alike necessary to the welfare of the
town and the service itself.—Falmouth Packet.

FRENCH PAPERS.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES—SirnNo or JUNE 4.

M. Dupin took the chair at half-past one. The proms-
verbal was, as usual, read and adopted in the presence of
less than 20 Deputies, after which the Sitting was sus
pended until ten minutes to two, when the discussion of
the Bill relative to the completion of the public works in
progress was resumed.
M. Jouss-tin proposed an additional paragraph to article
3, adopted in the last &trine, for the purpose of declaring
that no part of the 44,000,000 f. granted by that article
for works of canalization should be employed for a parti-
cular canal in the department of the .Aine, the whole ex-
penses of which ought, he contended, to be borne by the
company who had contracted for that canal.
M. Lecrand (the Commissioner of Government) and
the Minster of Commerce entered into some explanations
to prove that such a resolution would, according to the
terms of the contract, he an act of injustice towards the
company, and the additional paragraph was rejected by a
large majority.

MM. Merilhou and Vatout respectively proposed
augmentations of the credit granted by article 3, for tbe
purpose of making other canals which interested their
respective departments, but the Ch.mber scarcely allowed
them time to develop their propositions, but rejected almost
unanimously all augmentation of the grant.
Articles 4 to 5 inclusive, as proposed by the committee,
relate to the terms on which it is to be opened to the
public competition of any company to make a canal
parallel with the Garonne from Toulouse to Castels.
M. Sans proposed, as an amendment on this series of
articles, to grant 3,000.000 f. for the improvement of the
navigation of the Garonne between Toulouse and Bor-
deaux, and not to make any canal.
The Minister of Commerce said that he agreed with
M Sans that, on every consideration of economy and
utility, it would he preferable to improve and facilitate
the navigation of the Garonne than to form a coal
parallel to it. Ile had urged this opinion before the Com-
mittee, hut finding the majority against him, he did not
insist, hut as his own opinion remained unchanged, he
should support the amendment of M. Sans.

A discussion turning on points wholly of locil detai
and interest then !;sued as to the comparative merits o
the rivtr or catrcil navigation between Toulouse and Bor.
Thi'. discussion was continuing when our re-
porter wv, obliged to leave.

PArEit, TUESDAY, 4 O'CLOCK, F.M.
The Chathber of Deputies has not thought proper to

vote the 'sum which the Committee of Public Worlte de.

elated to be necessary in order to transfer the public library
'c'• t*:', the rue Richelieu to the Louvre. The amount of the
`sum required was 18,000,000 f. (about 720,000/. sterling),
besides the produce 'of the sale of the premises in the rue
Richelieu. If the grant had been refused from motives of
economy only, the refusal would probably not have at-
'tracted licb notice ; but the vote of the Chamber has
.a.ccpait'ed an important political character from the fact,
htr.dered evident, though not declared in the debate, that
the department of the Civil List was not thought to he
trusted with the management of the funds required. Ali-
&sten supported the grant with an energy which rendered
Ore result still more remarkable. The ohj. ctions to it were
tirade 'oba v trious legal and plausible grounds, though
the true motive seemed to he well understood by the
**vile Chamber.

When the civil list was under discussion, some very
material points were conceded on an engagement taken by
Ministers, that the sum of 2,000,00 Cf. out of its funds
should be applied annually towards the completion of
Napoleon's plan of joining the palace of the Tuileries
with that of the Louvre. The work has since gone on so
slowly and economically, that it is presumed the civil list
tam been laying aside a considerable portion of the
2,000,000 f. instead of their being laid out entirely for the
intended purpose. It follows, now that a new grant is
called for, that the Chamber is by no means sure that it
would be laid out according to its understood destination,
instead of being made again a job for the private benefit of
the civil list, and hence the refusal to vote the money
+mad a special law be made for its application.
The result of yesterday's vote was quite unexpected by
Nlitiisterp, though the indifferent support they have re-
teived from the Chamber, in regard to several items of
the budget under discussion, should have taught them not
et pltree to. great a reliance on the issue of a question re-
Isfecting which the Chamber had already evinced a strong
+adverse feeling. Some reports have been put into circu-
letion in consequence, which I should think rest on mere
conjecture. It is affirmed by acme, that Ministers will
resign ; and by others, that they will dissolve the Cham-
ber immediately after the close of the present Session.
Although Ministers have been defeated on several minor
points, relative to the budget, and have obtained but weak
majorities in others of importance, it ought to be remem-
bered that this was always in the consideration of plans
suggested by committees appointed to report thereon,
which plans, though strongly supported by Ministers, did
not avowedly originate with them. They have never been
left in a minority on questions of first rate importance,
and the Chamber has, on the contrary, given them
proofs of confidence on the vote of such questions, per-
haps far greater than they themselves could have ex-
pected. They could not, therefore, strictly be justifie.l
in tendering their resignations by the plea of having
forfeited the confidence of the Chamber. As to their
having resolved on dissolving the Chamber, there is just
as little reason to think that they have done so, as tu be-
lieve that they have made up their minds to resign. The
chances of a new general election do not promise to be so
much in their favour as to give them any hope of in-
creasing the number of their adherents in the Chamber.
There would be at least as great a possibility of strength.
ening the opposition as of gaining friends by means of new
elections. I believe that, upon the whole, Ministers are
very well satisfied with the present Chamber of Deputies,
and would rather not try the experiment of a change in
that quarter.
S.nne of the frontier papers speak of serious disturbances
es having taken place at Neustadt on the 28th ult., in
consequence of an attempt made by the people to celebrate
the festival of Hambach in a manner differing from the
programme w!:-eh had been drawn up by the Govern-
ment. It woad seem from the accounts referred to, that
a conflict had occurred between the people and the Bava-
rian regiments quartered at Neustadt, and that upwards
of 100 persons on both sides had been killed or wounded.
The city was in a state of great confusion. One regiment,
the sth of Light Cavalry, it is said, refused to fire on the
people, and therefore received orders to repair to the other
side of the Rhine.
Letters of the 10th ult., received here from Constanti•
nople, say that Count Orloff, the new Russian Ambassador
and Commander-in-Chief, has openly disapproved of the
concession made by the Sultan to Mehemt Ali, in giving
up the district of Adana. By a " memoranduM" pub-
lished in Constantinople, the Porte would make it appear
that in all the late negotiations with Ibrahim, it has acted
with the most perfect independence, and without any re-
ference to the wishes of Russia, for whose friendly inter-
cession, however, the Porte professes all due gratitude.
It is, nevertheless, not certain that the Sultan's ratifica-
tion of the treaty with Mehemet Ali was looked upon as
being definitive previous to the arrival of an answer from
the Emperor of Russia to the despatches addressed to him
by Count Orloff on the subject of the treaty ratified by the
Sultan.

The death of the Duke de Rovigo, which took place
the day berore yesterday in Paris, will probably enable
the public to understand what the intentions of the French
Government are respecting the possession of Algiers. A
Lieutenant-Governor has been acting in Algiers during
the illness and consequent detention here of the Duke de
Rovigo. It is supposed that no new Commander-in-
Chief will be appointed if there is not a fixed intention
of keeping possession of the place.

An intelligent Spanish gentleman informs us
that the population of Ifavannah is from 150,000 to
160,000, of whom from 80,000 to 100,000 are within
the walls, and that the population of 3latanzts is at least
25,000. If 14,000 persons have died of cholera in the
firmer city, it is neatly an eleventh part of the who!tt
population. Where a great part of a man's prop rty
consists in human flesh, such a disease is doubly disas-
trous. The Island of Cuba will not recover from the
ffeets of the present visitation for some years at least.
