took an enlightened and statesmanlike view of the
subject, strictly in accordance with that of her
MAJESTY'S Government. The new Sovereign
must, ex necessitate, become a rebel to his Lord
Paramount the SULTAN, and fresh complications
would arise, that might at any time create a cants
belli, likely to eventuate in another European
war. There never hitherto has been an union
between the Provinces, and there is no reason
why such an union, which would be by no means
conducive to the welfare, happiness, or prosperity
of the inhabitants, should now be introduced.
The new regulations are merely corollaries to
the propositions sanctioned, or rather which
ought to have been sanctioned at the former Con-
ferences, and any undue interposition of the
House of Commons would only have produced
untoward consequences, leading to serious embar-
rassments, without any countervailing advantages
that could be regarded as adequate equivalents.
We regret that Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who has
lately done so much to redeem his former mis-
takes, should have supported such a motion. The
Noble Lord is unquestionably playing his own
game. Like HARRY Gow, he is " fighting for
his own hand," but certainly his speech and vote
of last night are by no means calculated to pro-
mote his object, or to render the people desirous
of seeing him installed as the leader of a new
Cabinet.

It was Lord CLARENDON who produced all this
mischief. Had he aeted judiciously said pru-
dently—bad he only looked to the interests of the
country is place of merely tiding over a temporary
difficulty, there would now be no vexed question
" to fright the isle from its propriety," or occasion
new difficulties. The nation has, however, at last,
arrived at a proper estimate of the ex-Foreign
Secretary, and whatever Ministry may hencefor-
ward be formed, he shall " never more be officer
of ours." He has been " weighed in the balance
and found wanting," and great, indeed, is the
contrast between the philosophic and consistent
MALILESBURY and the oily and despot-loving

PARIS, TIIRSDAY.
"The character of the mission with which Baron
de Chassiron, son-in-law of Prince Murat, is in-
trusted in China," says a Paris letter in the Nord,
" has been changed ; at first it was intended to
send him out as third plenipotentiary, the two al-
ready there being M. de Bourboulon, Resident En-
voy, and Baron Gross, Envoy Extraordinary ; but
it has been now decided that he shall go as a simple
bearer of despatches charged to examine and report
on the situation.

Intelligence has reached Paris, by telegraph,
from Naples, which promises a favourable turn
in the difficulties between Naples and Piedmont.

RUSSIA.

ST. PETERS BURG, MAY 4.

There has just been published a detailed and ob-
ligatory programme of the labours of the commit-
tees of the nobility, in reference to the emancipa-
tion of the peasants.
Three successive periods are fixed for the accom-
plishment of this measure.
In the first, the principles are to be laid down.
Ia the second, these principles are to be applied
to each property.
Ia the third, a common code will be compiled for
the rural population.
Six months are allowed for the labours of the
first period in a statistical and systematic point of
view. After this delay the peasants will obtain all
the rights of the other contributing classes ; but
they will remain attached to the land until they
shall have been redeemed.

The five following governments in Russia have
signified their desire to form committees to promote
the emancipation of the serfs :—Poltawa, Tsmbow,
Kharkow, Ecatherinoslaw, and Penza.
