LONDON,
6APFURBAY EVENING, MARCH 15, 1828.

I 'We understand that M. LABINsKY, the Secretary
/O the Russian Embassy at Paris, has arrived
this miming with despatches for Prince LIEVEN,
lirthiek are supposed to be of great importance.
it French Messenger arrived at the same time, aed
%Gal came over in great haste. Should the purport
.JIC the despatches transpire, we shall not fail to
communicate it to our readers. A Cabinet Council
sits at three o'clock.

The French Papers, though they strongly sup-
port the opinion that the Russian Army has crossed
the Prutb, yet do not actually state the fact. For
Justifying this step, Russia, according to the
:Moniteur, has several causes of complaint—the
Bosphorus entirely closed against navigation—
Russian vessels eontiscated—the influence of the
Porte easily recognised in the rupture of a Treaty
'which Russia was on the point of concluding with
:Persia—Abe losses sustained by Odessa—all which
.operate to incense a Power naturally ready and willing
to seize every opportunity of invading the Turkish ter-
ritories. It is said that orders have been given for the
Russian army to comm ence its march en the 12th April,
but we think, if it were so, that the circumstance
would not be made known so long before the
!time. It is far more likely that the fact of their
march would only be disclosed when about to take
place ; but we should not be surprised to hear that
the army has really marched on the 12th of this
month. The conduct of Turkey has been altogether
species of insult and evasion—little calculated to
gain her own object, or to defeat that of the
Allies. She has too long trusted to their fer-
bearatiee, and may soon repent their vengeance.—
Until we have positive information upon the sub-
ject, it would be idle to speculate upon the
consequence of the Russians having taken up the
gauntlet on their own account.

It is every day more clear, that Mr. PEEL is by
Rio means thorough-going enough fer the party, who
have vainly
inendeavoured to entangle him perma-
nentlytheir toils. Mr. O'NEILL, who stood for-
ward last night with much spirit as a zealous
champion for purity of election, reproached the
Right Hon. Gentleman with inconsistency, in not
Perpetuating his opposition to the Penryn Disfran-
chisement Bill. But the arguments of the Hon.
Member for Hull would be just as applicable
to a London Jury, called on to return a ver-
'het in a case of theft or fraud, and pro-
nounced incapable of deciding, unless they could
solemnly declare, that they had never committed or
even meditated the slightest degree of dishonesty
from the hour of their birth.

The laws of Sparta, in contempt of private pro-
perty, encouraged the practice of thieving among the
young Lacedemonians, with a view of initiating them
in the stratagems of the all important art of war—but
nevertheless, a severe chastisement awaited the de-
tected and bungling stripling. Now, if bribery at Elec-
tions is, for great state reasons, to be encouraged
amongst us, let us in like manner visit with condign
punishment the slovenly performance of so distin-
guished a science. If, as the Hon. Member was pleased
to say, two-thirds of the 145 Members who voted last
year in favour of the immaculate borough of Penryn,
have been themselves guilty of bribery, we can only
say, that as no proof has, been adduced of so melon-
cholY a fact, the suspicion of it ought not tainter-
, fere with the punishment of those who had been
tried and convicted.
It is painful to think what difficulties and tempta-
tions beset the Statesman in the discharge of his
public duties; bat as contempt of the enemy, and
ignorance of their existence, are frequently accom-
panied by defeat and overthrow, we will take the
liberty of pointing out to the Right Hon. Member
for %ford the vulnerable points of the important
position which he now occupies in the eyes of Europe.
We will not dwell on the circumstances which have
Attended his elevation, and on some advantages which
he has .unquestionably derived from his connexion
with a
party in this kingdom for whom we enter-
tain the
willfully and
most unqualified dislike—men who are
selfishly blind, and make a trade of
bigotry. vll
