REMARKS.

Barometrical pressures are now low in the south and south-west
the diminution which has been general since yesterday, has been
greatest on our S. and E. coasts. In the S.W. of Ireland a small in-
crease has occurred since last evening, but readings in that district
are less by four-tenths of an inch than that at Nairn, whilst at Brest
pressure is less by half an inch. Temperature has risen on our N. and
E. coasts. A strong wind from the south-eastward prevailed yester-
day on our S. and W. coasts. Winds continue generally from the
eastward over these islands, and are fresh on the Irish coast, but
moderate in the Channel. On the W. coast of France a south gale—
force 9—is now blowing. Heavy rain has fallen in Ireland and on the
Channel coast, and rain is still failing at Portsmouth and Blest. The
weather is overcast or cloudy.

The Austrian Government is acting with the greatest
vigour against the opposition of the provincial Diets. The
Governor of Galicia, who has just visited the capital, has
carried back to Lemberg the positive instructions of the
Government to dissolve the Diet if it passes any resolution
hostile to the new constitution. The Tyrol Diet is in
similar jeopardy. It appears disposed to avoid putting the
new scholastic law into execution, By this law the clergy
were deprived of the absolute control of Austrian educa-
tion ; and it is the clerical p ty t' at prompts the resist.
ance.

Mr. George Peabody inten Is to purchase an estate

which only grain for export will be ccnve 'e 1 int flour.
According to the correspondent of the Post, the ce'ebra''el
American citizen felt so attracted by the famous Hunga-
rian patriot, Francis Deak, that he entered into corre-
spondence with him, and did not take the resolution to
become a landed proprietor of Hungary until he had asked
Deak's advice on the subject.

Eastern affairs, says the Berlin correspondent of the
Times, are exciting much attention in Prussia. This
writer alleges that, according to direct intelligence from
Bucharest, there is no doubt that the Bulgarian hands are
chifly organised, not, indeed, by the French Government,
but by agents of the French war party. Nor is there any
particular care taken to conceal the truth, for a Bucharest
paper which is the Monitcur of the rebellion is in the
habit of representing France and Austria as the angels of
oppressed nationalities. The Russian organs dare not
oppose a movement which they have so long aided, but, as
R issia is without an ally for offensive purposes, these
journals are careful not to add fuel to the flames. The
same writer adds that the insurrection consists of a few
insignificant bands skulking among the hills. This esti-
mate is probably true, but the statement that the
" cause " is supported by French agency would be none the
worse for a little confirmation.

The "Provisional Bulgarian Government" has pub-
lished a memoir setting forth that it is only the intolerable
tyranny of the Turkish Government which has given rise
to the present movement. It is not the object of the
Bulgarian party to expel the Turks from Constantinople ;
all that is desired is, that Bulgaria should have an inde-
pendent national Government similar to that existing in
Servia and Roumania. As a proof of this assertion, the
memoir refers to the rebellion in Crete, of which the
Bulgarians disdained to take advantage, in order not to
embarrass the Turks.

Major Palliser has shewn himself the gentleman we
believed him to be. Ile has written to the Morning Post
as follows : "My attention having been drawn to an
inaccuracy of which I appear to have been guilty in my
speech at Devonport, by attributing to Mr. Gladstone the
words ' apostate Senate and recreant State,' as applied to
those who might encompass the disestablishment and
disendowment of the Irish Church, after all the oaths
which had been sword awl all the pledges which had
been given to the contrary, I s'.ould feel obligel if you
will allow me to express my great regret for having quoted,
as Mr. Gladstone's, words which bad been uttered by
. _
some oue_sl_ss," -
