the National Assembly, authorising the Minister of
Finance to convert the amount of the deposits in the
savings' banks into rentes, bearing 5 per cent. interest
for every 80 francs deposited in the savings' banks.
Much pleasure is expressed in those journals at the
announcement that, although his recovery would be
slow, the wound of General BEDEAU was progressing
favourably.

The Ere Nouvelle contains the following incredible
statement :—" M. LUCIEN MURAT, a representative of
the people, when crossing the Champs Elysees on
Thursday last, received two balls in his carriage. N.
LUCIEN MURAT was, it is said, one of the representa-
tives devoted to the poiguards of the insurgents had
they succeeded. The Deputies on quitting the Na-
tional A6issemtly stopped to examine the holes made
in the carriage by the balls."

MOLDAVIA AND WALLACHIA.
The French National gives the following narrative
of the recent revolution in Moldavia :

Prince Bibesco was at Campo Longo, a town :of
the mountain, when he learned that a movement was
preparing at Bucharest. He returned in great haste on
the 7th June (the 19th, according to our calendar),
and immediately the authorities proceeded to search
the houses of several known patriots,' and among them
that of the artist Nagoulitzi, of several members of the
family Galesco, and of M. Galistiano. These searches
led to no discovery. The next day, the Bth (20th June),
the Prince returned from the promenade, accompanied
by the Minister of Finance, Villara. As they were
passing three shots were discharged from a ♦ehicle,
and one of them struck the epaulette of the Prince,
but neither he nor bis Minister were wounded.
Whilst the vehicle went off at a gallop, the Prince
entered tho hnn.o of hie son-in•law Philippeseo, and
he caused himself to be escorted by a aetAduuleufr by
return to the ratace. Immediately after the poet C. A.
RosAti, Major Voinesco le Genne, and M. Alexander
Cocoresco, were thrown into prison as suspected
persons. On the 9th (21st of June), the authori-
ties arrested the students of the college of St. Sebes-
tien, who, headed by an archdeacon of the cathedral,
displayed agitation on the Promenade Philartke.
Meanwhile the Prince received from Caracal, a town
of Little Wallachia (the old barrat of Craiova, an
address bearing a great number of signatures,
among which were remarked those of the priest
John Znagoviano (of the monastery of Znagow), of
John Ellard, of Stephen Golesco, of Gregory Plechoiano,
and of Major Tell. This document made known to
him that a revolutionary committee had just been formed
at Caracal, and he was summoned in the name of
Roumania, and of the sovereign people, to prove himself
a true Rouman, to sign the new Constitution, of which
the text was sent him, and to place himself at the
head of the movement. At the same time the young
people of Bucharest spread themselves over the streets,
distributing the new Constitution. The people went
in a crowd to the Palace to demand the signature of
the Prince. lie requested time for reflection, and
prayed the people to withdraw, and to return the
next day. But they recalled to mind that the movement
in Moldaria, two months previously, had failed for want
of firmness, Stoursa having demanded a day's reflection,
and having during the night incarcerated, tortured and pro-
scribed the best patriots. The people accordingly remained
firm. Bibesco then hastened to the principal barracks,
sounded the disposition of the soldiers, and tried to se-
cure their services, but all declared they would not fire
on their brethren. The prince accordingly returned
to the palace, and signed the new Constitution.
On the same day, June the 21s, he composed a
new ministry, in which the chiefs of the move-
ment entered. The Russian general Duhamel
witnessed this revolution. It is even stated that, before
ceding, Bibesco consulted him, and that Duhamel replied,
I ,have no advice to give you ; the country is under-
mined by revolution ?' Immediately after Dubamel left
for Leova (on the Pruth, in Bessarabia), and ordered the
Russian troops to advance.":
The Emancipation of Brussels has the following
from Jassy, dated 29th ult. :—" The standard of li-
berty floats in Wallachia. The Turkish cross has been
raised, and Death to the Russians! Long live the
Sultan!' is the general cry. Couriers have been sent
to Constantinople to solicit troops. Gen. DUHAMEL
and the Russian Consul have fled to avoid becoming
victims to the fury of the people." The Independance
of Brussels states, on the authority of a letter of
the 30th ult., from Cronstadt in Transylvania, that
"in consequence of the abdication of Prince BIBESCO,
and a sort of defiance thrown out to Russia by the
new Government, three regiments of Cossacks and
thirty-two pieces of cannon had passed the Pruth."

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

Their Lordships met at Five o'clock.
APPEALS IN CIVIL BILLS (DUBLIN) BILL.
On the motion of the Marquis of CLANRICARDE,
this Bill was read a second time.

Lord BEAUkONT presented several petitions from
various lodges of Odd Fellows in favour of the Bill
legalizing their societies.

IRELAND.
Lord BROUGHAM called the attention of the Go.
vernment to the recent field-day of the clubs in Ireland.
These clubs should be taught that it was useless to
wrestle with the law, and if the law is not sufficiently
strong to put them down, it should be made sufficiently
strong.

The answer of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE was
inaudible in the gallery.
RETURNS FROM THE BOARD OF TRADE.
Lord BROUGHAM complained that a merchant had
applied to the Board of Trade for the usual monthly re-
turns, and had beeninformed that ho could not obtain
them until the next day, yet that very day he had seenthem in a newspaper. He complained that the Govern-
ment acted unfairly in not giving their advertisements
and their information to all newspapers equally without
favouritism.
SPAIN.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY wished to know
whether the Government kept up any communication
with Spain, so as to remonstrate against the renewal of
such atrocities as the shooting of General Alzaa, and the
reprisals which had taken place on the part of the Car-
lists by the shootingof certain of the civieguard. He com-
plained that the whole of the recent correspondence with
the Spanish Government had not been published? Ile
wished to know in what state we were with respect to
our relations with Spair.?
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that he would
not take upon himself to say that the Government was
in a state to answer all questions that might be put with
regard to Spain; but he could state, with regard to the
outrage alluded to, that one general had been put to
death by another general, both of those generals having
been formerly in the Carlist service; but this had oc-
curred before there had been time for any diplomatic
agent of a toretgn power to interfere.
A NoBLE EARL reminded the Government that the
Pretender to the Spanish Crown was in this country,
and that the Government should call upon him to recal
all his partisans from Spain.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE reminded the Noble
Lord
that the personage alluded to was living here as a
