nube is, by the late cessions of Turkey, entirely under Rus-
sian control."

Now all this may be very correct, and yet the inference
sought to be drawn from it erroneous. We have not
seen the Treaty recognizing the independence of Wal-
lachia and Moldavia; but we cannot credit the
assertion of the Morning Chronicle, that England
is merely passive in an affair of such vital importance
to the peace of Europe. Much as the Tories sym-
pathise with the predominant sentiments of the Court
of St. Petersburgh, we do not believe they would
commit the gnardianship of an infant State to the
CZAR of Muscovy. This would be to cede these
provinces to Russia—not declare them independent ;
and this is what England will never permit under
any circumstances. It matters not what influence
Russia now possesses in Wallachia and Moldavia, and
still less what are the peculiar obligations which
the present Hospodars owe the CZAR. . The Treaty,
by declaring these provinces independent States, must
produce a radical change in the whole system of Go-
vernment, and have the effect of daily diminishing the in-
fluence of Russia, as that Power can no longer feign to
play the part of a protector, religious or political. The
Treaty itself will shortly be submitted to the consideration
of Parliament, and till then it is folly to waste conjectures
about it.

The Illoniteur of Thursday, which we have received,
together with other Paris Journals of the same date, pub=
lishes a telegraphic dispatch from Lyons, stating that at
six o'clock on Wednesday morning, the prisoners of April
were marched out of that city on their way to Paris. A
considerable body of troops were in attendance, but their
presence was unnecessary, as no resistance whatever was
offered, either on the part of the prisoners or their friends.
The trials will commence as soon as the Chambers have
disposed of the projects of laws for the responsibility of
Ministers, and the indemnification of the. American claims.
The first of these laws has, no doubt in the opinion of his
Majesty Louis PRILLIPPF., been introduced at a most fa-
vourable juncture ; and such is his desire to avail himself
of it, that he proposes to sojourn in the south of France
until after the Noble Judges shall have recorded their
sentences. The prudent resolution of his Royal Master
has also been taken by M. TRIERS, who, to escape the
charge of influencing the conduct of the Judges, will rus-
tidate at some distance from Paris whilst the trials are
pending. The flight of the KING and his Minister
is truly a strange way of complimenting the French
Chamber of Peers on its integrity as a supreme
Court of Judicature. If the temporary absence of the
KING and TRIERS be necessary to the uninterrupted course
of the stream of equity, what must the people infer from
their presence during those trials for political offences which
have already taken place ? Have we here an example of
the influence of that " conscience" which " makes cowards
of us all ;" or rather have we not a sample of that exces-
sive caution—of that prudery which enables us to detect
the amphibious in morals ? The proposed flight of Louis
PHILLIPPE and M. TRIERS from the French capital dur-
ing the trials is at once an avowal of their own political
apostacy, and a foul stain on the judicial character of the
Chamber of Peers. M. TIIIERS is an historian ; and the
Revolution afforded him materials for ten bulky volumes.
The history of his own times is a work which the world
may confidently expect from him , and of course we shall
learn therefrom, that such is the influence of a Minister of
the Interior, that his presence in Paris would bias the de-
cision of from fifty to two hundred Judges, comprised of
the noblest blood in France. This will read rather
curiously, and convey some curious impressions of
Senatorial equity and honour in the empire of three-day
revolutions ; but of course it is more important with M.
TRIERS, to appear in the eyes of posterity a great man
himself, than that his fame should be swallowed up in that
of his country. Men who can never render themselves il-
lustrious, and who have a desire for fame, are generally con-
tent to put up with notoriety. To be talked of in bonjunc-
tion with great personages and great events, consoles them
in the absence of less equivocal positions. They would be
MOHAMMEDS if they could, but failing in that, are content
to be numbered among the Pigeon- Gabriels of the Prophet.
In the Chamber of Deputies, the Law for the
responsibility of Ministers has been agreed to, as fair
as the fortieth Article. The Courtier Francais states,
on the authority of its Eastern correspondent, that
no alarm was created in Constantinople by the ap-
pearance of the British fleet at Venda, although the
PORTE continues its warlike preparations. The question is
unimportant, except in so far as it serves to expose the in-
trigues of Russia. It is to us a matter of no moment,
whether the PORTE is alarmed, or the contrary, inasmuch
as we contemplate no operations against the power of the
SULTAN. And as to precautions being taken against us, in our
present mood, they are unnecessary ; and we may add without
a boast, that in a more hostile one, they would be just as
little objects of apprehension. The only matter for consi-
deration is, that these preparations for offensive and defee-
sive warfare are being carried on under the immediate di-
rections of the Russian Envoy at Constantinople, who alone
possesses the confidence of the SULTAN and the Chiefs of
the Divan..

has been rather flat to-day. The 3 per Cents. were at 80f. 45c.,
but they have since improved to 80f. 55c., which is the present
price. It is said on 'Change that letters from Bayonne mention
that the French troops on the frontiers of Spain have received
notice to keep themselves in marching order, so as to be able to
move at the first telegraphic signal.

We have received German Papers to the 21st instant.
They are chiefly filled with communications from the East,
relative to the present state of Syria, and the more remote
provinces of the Turkish empire. The following paragraph
contains all that is important to an English reader in these
journals :—" Leipsic, March 12.—Our Easter fair is indeed
at some distance, yet the warehouses of the English traders
already begin to be filled with new stock ; the principal
cause of which perhaps is, that the communication between
Hamburg and Englan.' by sea has suffered scarcely any in-
terruption in the course of the winter. It is thought the
whole sale will be earlier this year than usual."

Advices from the East state that the plague was rag-
ing in Alexandria in December. From twenty to forty
persons are reported to have daily fallen victims to it. Con-
siderable alarm was created in Cairo by this intelligence,
and many of the more wealthy inhabitants prepared to fly
into Upper Egypt. The alarm, however, subsided, after a
Council of Physicians had declared that the mortality
which prevailed at Alexandria was not occasioned by the
plague, although the medical practitioners of that city had
previously asserted the contrary. Whether the physicians
of Alexandria or those of Cairo, are right in their opinion,
we have no means of determining ; but all disinterested
persons blame the Government for its total indifference on
the subject.

The Saint Simonists, of whom there are many in Egypt,
made a proposal to the VICEROY, about twelvemonths ago,
of erecting a Bridge over the Nile, at the Delta. ME-
HEMET. ALI approved of the design, and ordered it to be
prosecuted without delay. The work was in a very advanced
state, when suddenly it was stopped, and the labourers or-
dered to engagg in other employments. No cause has been
assigned for this, but the relinquishing of the design is said
to have origiqated with some English residents, who assured
the VICEROY that the completion of the work was imprac-
ticable. We hope this is not quite correct. We should be
sorry that any of our countrymen, affected by premature
councils, the retard:n4 of a great national improvement.

PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

In the LORDS, it was stated that the plan laid before the
Committee of the House of Commons for the new Parlia-
ment Houses had not been decided upon, and that the plan
for them was still open to competition. Lord BROUGHAM
presented and supported a petition from the Unitarians at
Hull, for a redress of Dissenters' grievances.
In the Commopis, Sir R. MUSGRAVE brought in his
Poor Law Bill for Ireland. Mr. GOULBURN stated in
reply to Mr. BARRON that the Report on the Irish Corpo-
tions had been received, and would be soon laid upon the
table. Sir R. PEEL could not say yet whether any mea-
sure would be founded on the report. Lord JOHN Rus-
SELL distinctly told the Right Hon. Baronet that he
should next Monday move for a Committee respecting an
APPROPRIATION of the surplus revenues of the Church of
Ireland. Sir R. PEEL, wished to know the particulars of
the plan contemplated by the Noble Lord, who declined
giving the specific information sought, until the House
should resolve itself a Committee. On the question that
the House do resolve itself into a Committee of Supply on
the Army Estimates, Mr. HUME, in a searching speech,
exposed the monstrous abuses in the Army and Ordnance
Departments, and moved an amendment that they
be referred to a Select Committee with a view to
their consolidation. Lord JOHN RUSSELL was in favour
of such a consolidation, and stated that stors, amounting
to seven millions sterling, had accumulated in the Ord-
Hance department alone. Lord STANLEY said that he
would vote for it when no inconvenience would arise to
' the public service from such a course. The CHANCELLOR
of the EXCHEQUER opposed it. After some discussion, the
Hon. Member for Middlesex withdrew the motion, and.
the House went into a Committee. Major-BEaucLERK pro-
posed a reduction of 6,000 cavalry men, which was
opposed. The majority in favour of the original
grant was 154. Lord CONYNGHAM moved that the
sum of 2,978,000/. for the Land Forces be reduced by.
6,9001., which was the allowance to the Life Guards be-
yond the Blues. Majority, against the reduction, 172.
The next item was, 78,4341. for allowances to the prin-
cipal officers of public departments in England and Ireland.
Mr. Ilumr moved for a reduction of 1,1891. On a division
of the Committee there was a majority of 153 for the
original motion. A motion of Mr. FIELDEN for certain
communications to the Poor Law Gommisgioners was
agreed to, after a division on the adjournment of the
House. Mr. 13uLLEa moved for a copy of minutes taken
before the Canterbury Election Committee.—Agreed to.
After repeated attempts to adjourn the House, the
SPEAKER put the question at last, " that the House do
now adjourn;" which it did at one o'clock.
