GERMAN PAPERS.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 25.—What was some time
ago a mere report is now an undoubted fact. The Rat-.
has concluded an offensive and defensive alliance with
Russia, which is still kept secret, and of the contents of
which only so much has transpired that Russia engages
to afflrd every assistance asked for by the Porte, and that
the ht ter engages in case Russia should be at war with
any power whatever to treat that power san enemy;
farther, that Russia renounces the repayment of the
expenses of the late expedition, estimated at te❑ millions
of t übles, and that the duration of the treaty is fixed for
eight years. That this treaty is as advantageous to
th Porte, as it greatly strengthens the power of
Russia, admits of no doubt in particular. Nothing can
be better adapted to defeat the ambitious plans of Mehemet
Ali, should he entertain any such notions as have been
conjectured. The Porte issued, a few days ago, a new
coinage, the real value of which is much greater in pro-
portion to the nominal value, than all the coin of the
same description before issued. It is" difficult to imatine
how this is possible in the dilapidated state of the Turkish
finances, but perhaps report has exaggerated on this point,
The Accounts from Greece are very favourable.—Alge.

BRUSSELS, Auo. 17.—1 n the sitting of the second
Chamber, yesterday, the President said "a motion has been
laid on the bureaux by M. Gendebien ; it will be referred
to the sections, which will decide whether there are
reasons to authorise its being read."—(Profound silence.)

M. Ernest brought up a new report on the project of
law relative to extradition.

The first article being read, M. de l3rouchere said that
the amendment of the central section had wholly changed
the nature of the project, and asked it the Government
agreed to it.

M. Lebeau replied in the affirmative.
In the debate which ensued, M. de Brouckere and M.
de Robaulx spoke against the laws as unnecessary, he
mentioned that the practice of extradition had never sub•
sisted in Belgium, even under the Austrian Government.
De Robaulx said, What need have we of laws to sup-
port the laws of foreign nations, when we do not yet
know whit we are ourselves. We have no political ex-
istence i❑ Europe, fir your treaty of November 15
is abolished, it exists no longer ; you are not re-
cognised by either Prussia or Russia, and yet you will
make a law to give up their criminals to them, and you
will surrender to the executioners political transgressors
who will be accused of robbery and murder. The law is
dangerous in the hands of any ministers ; much more so
in those of a ministry which has not our confidence, and
always acts under the influence of France. Well, gentle-
men, let us submit—let us make of Belgium a French
province : it will be much the shortest way. There are
in 131 ussels about 300 political and other refugees, who
have brought hither large capitals. Can they be affected
by this law ? There is nothing that says the contrary.
It I were in their situation, I should pack up my effects
and go to some country where honour and liberty are more
respected. I vote against the law as injurious to the
national dignity.—Adjourned till to-tnorrow,..Brusse/s
