VALETTA, FEB. 21.
The Peninsular and Oriental steamer arrived this
morning from Gibraltar and Southampton with the
outward India mail, and proceeded this afternoon
to Alexandria. The Ellora, from Marseilles, with
the overland mail, is expected this evening; and
the Nepaul and Indus, with the homeward India
and China mails, to-morrow morning.
Her Majesty's ship Perseverance, bringing a wing
of the 2d battalion 23d Fusiliers, arrived to-day; the
Urgent, with the head-quarters of the regiment, is
expected to-morrow. Her Majesty's steam-frigate
Vulture also arrived to-day from Gibraltar to be
repaired. The mercantile steamer Elba has gone
home to ship the new electric cable to be laid be-
tween Candia and Alexandria ; she is expected to
complete the line by March next.
Her Majesty's steam-vessel Caradoc returned
from Corfu yesterday. I learn that the new Lord
High Commissioner, Sir H. Storks, arrived at Corfu '
on the 16th,and landed amid the customary honours.
On the day following the royal warrant was read
in the lonian Assembly. The popular members,
Dandolo and Padovan, had addressed the Assembly
against the proposed reforms. Braila, as Govern-
meat Fisco, exposed their false patriotism. Lom-
bardo was left speaking, and damaging any good
impressions made by the latter. _

FEBRUARY 24.
At 2 p:m. this afternoon the Russian squadron,
composed of a line-of-battle ship and two frigates,
having the Grand Duke Constantine on board,
entered our grand harbour, under salutes from all
her Majesty's ships of war in port, Fort St.
Angelo, and the Saluting Battery. The salutes are
now being exchanged. Crowds of people line all
the bastions facing the grand harbour, waiting to
see the Grand Duke land.

H.M.S. Urgent arrived yesterday, bringins. the
head-quarters of the 23d Fusiliers, which regiment
disembarked this morning from on board the Per-
severance and Urgent. H.M.'s corvette Ariel has
also come into port from Corfu. The Peninsular
and Oriental steamer Nepaul arrived this forenoon,
with the Calcutta and China mails, from Alexan-
dria. She proceeds at once for Marseilles.
H.M.'s ships of war in port are the Marlborough,
Conqueror, Centurion, Vulture, Ariel, and several
gunboats.

The Cesarewitch, Russian liner, is still in port,
so that there are two Russian liners and two frigates,
all screws.

BAVARIA.

The following declaration on the part of thirty-
nine members of the Legislative Assembly of Wur•
temberg has been addressed to the select committee,
in order to be laid before Government :

" The whole of Germany is penetrated by one
sentiment—that of profound indignation at the
attempt that is now made of disturbing the peace
of Europe. Nobody, in beholding the enormous
armaments now going on in France, is to be de-
ceived respecting the dangers that threaten us.
France, it is true, accompanies these warlike de-
monstrations by assurances of her peaceful inten-
tions ; yet the fact of her preparations for war
going on increasingly is incompatible with these
professions.
" On the other hand, nobody is so silly as to
believe that these armaments are made in the inte-
rest of liberty, or for the cause of oppressed
nationalities. The constant object of the founder
of the Napoleonic dynasty was the destruction of
foreign nationalities—the spreading of unutterable
woe and misery in those countries submitted to his
intolerable despotism—the founding of vassal
States, afterwards to be distributed among the
members of his own family, regardless of the
streams of blood shed in the pursuit of his wicked
and• ambitious designs. This state of things only
ceased when Europe combined, and by one com-
mon effort hurled the oppressor for ever from his
throne.

" To attack alternately the various States of Eu-
rope, and principally Germany—to burden it with
intolerable contributions —to destroy peaceful
homes, commerce and industry, to draw from it its
very life blood—to set Germans against Germans
for his own selfish designs, to wrest from Germany
one piece after another to incorporate it into his
empire—these were the constant acts of that Na-
poleon I. whose glorification has now become the
order of the day in Paris. We should indeed have
forgotten the history of blood, and of unspeakable
misery, .were we to shut our eyes to the dangers
threatening us now. Austria is the most power-
ful State in Germany ; it is her greatest, her most
urgent interest to be at peace ; she can therefore
not have any aggressive policy. She has shown
this by thd calm and dignified demeanour evinced
on every occasion, in spite of the provoking and
insulting conduct of France. At the same time,
endeavours are made to separate Prussia from Aus-
tria, by spreading the rumour that exclusively
Italian interests are at stake.

" We know perfectly well the intentions of France
with regard to the Rhenish provinces. We also
know perfectly well tie old game of separating
Austria from the rest of Germany, and then, when
the former by sacrifices in blood and treasure lies
prostrate and exhausted, to attack the other States
of Germany, and strike them down one after an-
other.

" Bitter experience, bloody reminiscences have
taught Germany to be on her guard, and energeti.
cally to oppose the repetition of such scenes. But
independently of these considerations, a war be-
tween France and Austria would likewise threaten
the States of the German Confederacy, for it would
threaten the territories along the German Alps and
the German coasts on the Adriatic.

" But in what position do we find Germany
under these circumstances ?

" Whilst Austria, with a promptitude and energy
beyond praise, collects her troops along the whole
extent of her frontiers, and meets the provocations
of France by the most formidable armaments, the
German Diet looks on in silence and apathy.
" Is this the way to give effect to the diplomatic
negotiations ?
" And if, as we fear, the pacific declarations of
Napoleon are only made with a view of lulling
Europe into sleep, until France finds herself suffi-
ciently prepared for the struggle, where shall we
find our materiel and our armies to meet the dan-
ger ? No German sincerely attached to his native
land can behold this state of things, for which we
must seek the only cause in the utter absence of
national unity, without the deepest grief. Woe to
those who have been instrumental in bringing
about such a state ! But let us sink at this critical
moment all minor considerations, and only think
of meeting manfully the dangers which threaten
our common Fatherland. Let us rise like one man
to meet the aggressor. We know we are speaking
in the name of millions when we express to the
committee our earnest hope that the different Ger-
man governments will take immediate and energetic
measures for the protection of Germany."
