SUPPLY OF GAS.

A petition was presented from the inhabitants of Saint
Cripplegate, praying that gas pipes might be per-
mitted to he laid down by such Companies as would sup-
ply the inhabitants on cheaper terms than those on which
the Chartered Company furnished that article.
Mr. TAYLon supported the petition.
Mr. Srs:vENs was against referring the petition to the
Commissioners of Sewers, and, as an Amendment, moved,
That n Special Committee should he formed, to whom
this petition, and the petitions from Bishopsgate and other
Wards should be referred for inquiry."
Mr. TICKNER deprecated the introduction of competi-
tion between the Companies, as fraught with great incon-
venience. An adjournment was then moved and carried.

A parcel of very fine ripe May duke cherries,
were shown yesterday at Net's fruit shops, 77, Prince's-
street, and 44, Leith-street.—Edinburgh Evenip:,

ST. PETERSI3I:RGH, APRIL 26.—For some weeks
past people are all in a warlike mood, and the enthu-
siasm of the military is boundless. The troops which
leave this city will go at first only to the environs of
Tulezyn ; those which have long been cantoned in
the South of Russia will open the campaign alone ;
this resolution was scarcely known when most of
the young officers of the Guard asked to be sent to
the Regiments which are going to invade the
Turkish territory ; but the Emperor has not con-
sented. These, however, who were about him on
the important day of 26th Dec., 1825 (the revolt at
St. Petersburgh), will accompany him. His depar-
ture is fixed for the 7th of May.
Many foreigners have also offered to serve as vo-
lunteers in this campaign ; but the Emperor has not
granted their request. Our capital will soon be de-
serted, for the whole Court will accompany the Em-
press to Odessa, and will reside there for some time,
and most of the wives of Generals and Officers are
going to Tulezyn to wait for what may happen.
ODES ,4A, APRIL 25.--(Extract of a Commercial
Letter.)—On the 6th or 7th of May, the army will
pass the Pruth ; on the 22d, Moldavia and Wal-
lachia will be entirely occupied : on the 23d the
Emperor will arrive at Ismail ; and on the same day
a part of the army will pass the Danube, while the
Black Sea fleet, consisting of ten sail of the line and
six fri;.,fates, will land a body of 10,000 men near
Varna, to support the
,movement of that which will
advance from Ismail, at the same time the army
of Georgia will attack the Turkish possessions in
Asia ; and Poti and Ancha will soon be in our pos-
session.*

TRtESTE, Al.tv 6.—A ship, which has arrived in
ten days from Corfu, brings word that two French
frigates and two brigs were waiting in tlat port for
the expedition from Toulon, with 60,000 men, to
sail with them to the Morea.

BERLIN, MAX 7.--(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)
—Fresh troops, both infantry and cavalry, are conti-
nually arriving to reinforce the Ottoman army as-
sembled on the plains of Adrianople. Several Tar-
tars, despatched from Constantinople, have announced
to the Pacha of Adrianople the speedy arrival of the
Grand Vizier. The Governor of the important
fortress of Silo=la. has been reinforced by 2,000
chosen troops. It cannot be denied that the greatest
enthusiasm animates the Turkish soldiers, whose
fanaticism is carried to the greatest degree of exaspe-
ration. It is thought that the Suhall will not join
the army till it is raised to the force of 130,000 effec-
tive men. Regiments drawn from several fortresses
in Hungary have arrived to reinforce the troops sta-
tioned on the frontier of Servia, in the Ruethorvina,
and in the Bannot of Temiswar. It is obeerced that
active officers go to and from the Ser•ian territory,
where they are well received by the Turkish officers.
This good understanding between the military of the
two nations is divinely interpreted by our politicians.

PARIS, MAY 21.—1 n the Chamber of Deputies,
after the discussion of all the amendments proposed
to the project of law o►► the loan of 800 millions, the
President said, " Before the Chamber proceeds to
the scrutiny on the whole of the law, I give notice
that it is to meet to-morrow at noon, in the Bureaux,
to receive the communication of a proposition which
will be developed i❑ the public sitting, on its open-
ing the Chamber in the Bureaux, and nominate the
Committee which will have to examine the propo-
sition, and take it into consideration." The Presi-
dent then having announced the Order of the Day
for to-morrow, the sitting, on the whole of the law,
of which the result was as follows :—Number of
votes, 352.

White Balls 267
Black Balls 6:i
Majority
The law is adopted.
The Chamber of Deputies has voted to-day, by
an immense majority, the Project of Law for a loan
of 80 millions. This act of high confidence of the
Elective Chambers has been merited by the frank
conduct of an Administration which has openly made
known its intentions. It is by this honourable har-
mony of the powers of society, that, after many
years of trouble, we shall obtain the consolidation
of our institutions, and the national developement
of all the sources of the prosperity of France.

These arc two out of the five fortresses which Russia,
by the Treaty of Bucharest, had promised to give up to
Turkey; and are the only ones that were really given up.
But with the new frontier of the Russians beysnd Mount
Caucasus, it was impossible that they could long remain in
the hands of the Turks. Poti, situated on the left bank
of the Rion or Maris, commanded the mouth of that
river, which is so necessary to the communications of the
Russians in Mingrilia and Imerilta. Anossa, on the coast
of Alasia, at a smalldistance from the mouth of the Kuban,
is surrounded on all sides by the Russian posts, but the
Turks only set the higher value on this account upon
that little fortress, by means of which they keep up a com-
munication with the tribes of the Caucasus, especially
the Circassian', whom they excited to make incursions
into the Russian boundary, and of whom they purchase
the slaves, so famous for their beauty.--Note of the Editor
of the Gazette de France.
