LONDON.
THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 12, 1998.

It seems to by the concurrent opinion of our
cotemporaries, and of the pulalie, that the Ca-
tholic Question has decidedly gained ground by
the late debate, notwithstanding its unfavourable
issue. It is well observed in the Times of this
morning that " the debateable ground. is now
narrowed to the single point of securities."—
The mind of the most obdurate Orangeman uo
longer startles at the idea of seeing Catholics,
some day or other, in the possession of their
natural rights. He may wish, for obvious
reasons, to defer that period, but he feels a
dreadful presentiment that it must arrive, and he
begins to reconcile himself to his fate, with a
fortitude and patience worthy of the occasion.
The real conscientious bigots will find their
mistake, however, in the Military Premier,
whom they at present worship, (not as the silly
Catholics worship their departed Saints), but
as sensible orthodox Churchmen, are bound to
venerate an actual living dispenser of Bishoprics,
Deaneries, and Rectories, who makes speeches
against the Catholic Claims.

To be serious--lwe are perfectly certain that
the Gallant Duke laughs in his sleeve at the
whole farce. At all events, he did so literally at
the Archbishop of TUAM'S sermon, and they
may depend on his throwing them overboard
whenever he feels himself securely seated. His
Grace's genius may not lie in comprehending
letters, but he has a great deal . too much
common sense not to perceive the signs of the
times. He sees clearly that liberal opinions must
triumph, and haviwg made use of the deluded
Tories in getting into . power, he will adopt as
sr u.h of the liberal politics as Will blind thie
nation, and
.qualify to. some extent the dominion
of the sword. - And let us ask, who will vesture
to blame such conduct in a Military Premier ?
Is it anything more than a " ruse de gstener

The Frenth Papers of Tuesday have arrived ;
they say the number of Russian troops in Wal-
lachia amounted to 50,000 men, of which 6,000
remained at Bucharest. Nothing further was
known of their motions. The fortress of Ibrail
had been invested by a division of the army
under Count WITTGENSTEIN, who shortly ex-
pected to take it.

The Austrian Observer of the" Ist inst. has
been receiled this morning. It says that the
Emperor NICHOLts, after having arrived at
Isinail, went over the bridge at Vadulni Issak,
where the main body of the Russian grand army
crossed the Froth, on his way, no doubt, to ex-
pedite the passage of the Danube, for which
every preparation was being made. The
passage is to be attempted nearly in the
same places as those stated in the sham account
recently published—between Ismail and To-
marowa, at Gallatz, and at Oltenitza, between
Rudichuck and Silistria. When the passage is
effected we shall soon hear of mighty events.

According to accounts froth Smyrna the force
of ItirtmuM PA CH A in the Morea, at the
beginning of April, 65143 estimated at 31,320 men,
a number more than half he real amount

czEsliofsl7l, MAY 25.

His Aia;esty the Emperor Nicholas, WWI after ilia arrival
at Ismail, went on the 21st over the bridge at Vadulni
Issak (where the Russian main body crossed the Pruth),
awl to the camp near the v-SibAge of Hadschi-Capitani, a
league Ma a half from Ibrail, where big Imperial Highness
the (hand Duke Michael arrived on the 17th. It was
believed that his Ituperial Highness would go to ilLiximeni
and Oltenitza, to which► the right wing of the ItuseiaA
army extends.

All the necessary materials are being eae.eted to lay
bridges over the Danube in three places, namely, between
Ismail and Tomarowa, at Ciallatz, and at Oltenitza, be-
tween Rudschuck and isilietria. Important military ope-
rations were expected, and more so, as the delay of eleven
days had expired which the Pacha,of Await, who declared
he had no orders whatever to yorntn4 Iloatilities, had ob-
tained, for the purpose of proeurispg
tiwiructigns from
Constantinople.

The garrison of Navarin is .1,500 men, that of Modon
COO, and of Coron 2806.
Ibraisines household consists of 500 persons, at the head
of it are the Kiaja Bey, who at present acts as Governor
of Madon, and Ahmet Effendi, as Intendant-General.
Ibrahim has at lament tlte Miming ships ggyp-

tian brigs, two transports, and one schooner, at Modon ;
and one Egyptian brig at Navarin. Provisions are distri-
buted with punctuality, but the ration is reduced to the
half. Estimating the stock of provisions in this manner,
it may last to the end of June.

The Arabs cannot forget the battle of Navarin, and the
presence of the ships of the Allied Powers, which blockade
all the ports, increases their despondency. On the 31st
of March the garrison of Corns, chiefly composed of
Albanians, mutinied and demanded their pay, threaten-
lug, if they were not satisfied, to deliver up the
fortress to the Greeks or the English ; two days after-
wards symptoms of discontent manifested themselves
in the camp of the cavalry, but these disturbances
were soon quelled by the appearance of two regiments that
were sent against the mutineers, and by the presence of the
Kitija Bey, who went in person to Coron. Ibrahim Paella
said publicly, that they were excited by intrigues from
without, and that war was made upon bitn with arms
with which the Mussulmen were unacquainted.
The Governor of Smyrna, Hawn Paella, is again
confirmed in his post, to the great joy of the inhabitant.
of Smyrni, whose esteem and affection he has ac-
quired by his good administration. The greatest
tranquillity prevails here. The Bairarn which began
on the 14th, and continued here, furnished a fresh proof
of the Paella's care to preserve the peace of the city ; the
festival was announced only by salutes of artillery, and in-
dividuals were not allowed, as on former occasions, to dis-
charge fire-at me in the streets.

Brussels Papers of yesterday's date have been
received. The States General are to be con-
voked for an Extraordinary Session in July.

It is stated that the Consul for the Netherlands,
at Smyrna, has received assurances from the
PORTE, that in the event of war, the Franks,
and even the Russians, shall not. be molested in
their business. This we very much doubt :
BRUSSELS, JUNE 9.

A British Cabinet Messenger passed through this city
yesterday evening, ou his way from Vienna to London,
with despatches.
We hear from the Hague that the States-General will
be convoked for an extraordinary Session, in the month of
July, on account of the propobed marriage of her Royal
highness the Princess Marianne. It is affirmed that she
is to marry a Prince of the House of Brunswick.
The Consul of the Netherlands at Smyrna has received
from Constantinople the assurance that the Franks shall not
be troubled in their business, and that Russian subjects
shall enjoy the protection of the Porte, even in case of a
war with Russia.

A letter of Count Guillewinot, written from Corfu, to
Admiral de Rigny, and which has been published, is well
calculated to make the Porte sensible of its real situation,
and induce it to put itself ❑nder the protection of the
Treaty of the 6th July, 1827, to avoid greater sacrifices
than that Convention requires.
A Russian ship was lately destroyed by fire at Smyrna,
in spite of the assistance afforded by the Austrian sailors.

Letters from Sydney (New South Wales) to

the 7th Feb. have been received via Rio de
Janeiro, by the Alacrity from. thence. The in-
formation they contain is extremely distressing
—the wheat harvest, as well as the grass and
vegetables, had totally failed, from continued
drought and heat—the former had risen to 12s.
and even 15s. per bushel. • This unfortunate
circumstance had obliged them to seek their
supplies from the South American ports, to
which they bad despatched some vessels. The
harvest had also suffered at Van Dieman's Land
nearly to an equal extent. Such had been the
influx of settlers into the colony, that no house,
or even barn, could be procured. Trade wore
a lamentable feature, and the quantity of goods
imported bad been so extensive as to supply
their wants for some years, the sales of which

had been attended with heavy sacrifices. Six
vessels with troops had sailed for India, it having
been found that the climate is extremely benefi-
cial as a seasoner for the military who are in-
tended for that quarter. The Colony was in a
tranquil state.

It is said that the Brazilian Minister at our
Court has entered so completely into the views
of the Provisional Government at Oporto, for
the benefit of his Imperial Master, as to
advance 2,5001. for the hire of the steam
boats chattered to convey the Portuguese
Exiles and Nobles to Oporto. And as a
further proof of his confidence- in the patriotic
intentions of the Regency, he has authorised
them to draw upon him, if necessary, for
30,000/. more. Previously to their departure
it is expected' that the party about to return will
sit►► a declaration expressive of their adherence
to the Regency.

' count of that Government, and this morning we have in-
formation of the arrival of his Majesty's ship Ranger. front
