We have, in the Imiartfial Corrcsponitcnt, the following
accounts frorn'St. Paershargh, ht Feb.

The Coniinittee of Inquiry into the events of the Itlth of Dc--
comber is actively engaged, but hitherto nothing official has
been published respecting the result of its labours. ;Nobody has
yet been condemned, but the number of arrests has increased.
All those who appear not,to have been immediately implicated
in the conspiracy against the Cluvernment, have

According to accounts from Mount Caucasus, the mountain
tribes`, Nape recommenced their incursions into our territory,
and General Yermaloff has attacked them there.

Letters from -Coifu say, 'that the Turks besieging ill isso-
longhi itre in want of provisions, because the bad weather ren-
ders the arrivals difficult anti rare. The Turks continue the
siege, but without success. The Seraskier causes all prisoners
to be impaled, without distinction of age or sex. The Porte,
it is amyl, has sent a Capidgt Multi to behead all the Ottoman
Chiefs who, baying fought this year under the command of the
Seraskier,.have returned to their homes,

In the general 'disarrangement of Financial
and Commercial Relations, it were difficult to
decide on any line of conduct, by which Mini-
sters should choose the wisest course. There
nevertheleil arc certain ;points,
,wliich It re-
quires but little consideration, to meet with a de-
cided negative. A loan in the shape of Exchequer
Bills fur instance might greatly aggravate tht
present finatiCial 'embarritsiment. Although more
than one million, as it is believed, has been applied
by the Bank to the taking off Exchequer Bills,
—those Securities were nt a discount of tit a°, this
day, at one o'clock. What, then, would, be their
value, were five millions to be added to the
amount now pressing on the market ? They must
evidently, fall to a rate of discount, perhaps ex.
ceeding the utmost known point of depression.
I The principal buyers would, be debtors to the
Revenue, and, as Ministers are aware, the
Exchequer would be replenished—only by
Exchequer Bills ! This may be taken as
the true reason of the pertinacious firmness
with which Ministers have resisted the importu-
nities that assail them from all sides. The Bank
will, therefore, according to appearances,, be
finally driven into the measure so strongly
urged by Minit•ters—and make advances upon
goods. That the Directors should consent
to this measure without due assurance of Pro«
tection, and indemnity, will not be suspected ;

though it were not difficult to ahoy') that the'
Bank of England has a -very deep interett in
prompt relief being administered to the
,Merchants—especially of the metropolis. The
actual amount of Commercial Bills, fall-
ing due on the 3d and 4th of next month,
it may not be possible to estimate, but it it be-
lieved in the Commercial world, that 'accept-
maces, exceeding two * millions sterling, fall due
about that period. It is very well known, that
at the beginning both of Dec. and Jan. Bills were
renewed, to at least that amount. The propor-
tion of this paper that may be held by the Bank
of England cannot be known ;—but it can-
not be doubted that it is considerable. Thus, to
enable the parties to honour Bills which, are the
representatives of property, the Bank will in
effect become Ifie depository of actual pro-
perty, its place of the Bills by which that property
is axsutned to be represented. By this operation
the London merchant may obtain relief—but what
assistance will be afforded to the merchant of the
out-ports, the suffering manufacturer, and
the starving manufacturing population ? If

the proposed relief be restricted to the metro-
polis, the Mercantile and Manufacturing interests
in the Provinces, may sink beneath the pressure
of the moment, ere relief can reach them
through the effects consequent on the possible
relief, to be afforded to the London merchant
anti negociant.

The letters received yesterday from the Con-
tineot shew,' that commercial distress is extend-
ing there, but particularly in the !malt of Per-
many, owing to the difficulties which have arisen
in this country. Berlin appears to his?ve suffered
very much,-ten or twelve failures having occurred
n that city.
The purchases of Exchequer bills by the Bank,
in conformity with. the instructions given by Mi-
nisters, are supposed by •snme leading. brokers,
up to the present time, to be considerably ad-
vanced beyond:the first million : thoitio, securities
remain without variation at from. Is. discount to

that they must fall to a discount as soon as the
