Ministers have certainly -no easy card to play re-
specting the Corn Bill, but it will be perceived that
they had last night a majority of IA when it was
pro-!used to substitute the scale of duties oflast year,
for those now submitted. We are not particularly
partial to the present Bill, and would have preferred
the last, but certainly any thing is better than leav-
ing the country longer without any Corn Bill at
all. It may snit the purposes of Opposition to
make an outcry against inconsistency, but we
should regard it only as very consistent folly to
send up to the Lords the identical Bill which they
strangled last year.

The Gazette de France of Monday contains an
article from Bucharest, dated March 28, which con-
tradicts the report that a division of the Russian
army h td crossed the Danube, and carried off the
Turkish magazines. We attach no credit to the
report which was got up by the notorious fabri-
cators of the " Passage of the Pruth." The insur-
rection and battle in Serria are equally unfounded.

The Gazette corrects its assertion that M. PARA-
VEY, the Banker, had been taken out of the Seine
drowned. Hopes are now entertained that he is

alive.

'1 he Austrian Observer of the 12th, and the
Allgenieine Zeitung of the 16th, have been received
this morning. An article dated Frankfort,of the 1 lth,
says that the prices of the public securities of different
states negociable on that Exchange have been rising
for some days. The passage of the Pruth was not
considered by monied men in that city as of much
consequence. The battle of Navarin did not pro-
duce war, and the preliminary occupation of Mol-
davia and Wallachia was not likely to do it. The

FRANKFORT, AYRII. 11.

The prices of the public securities of different States, ne-
gociable on our Exchange, have been rising for some days.
The accounts, however, which private letters bring us
from the principal parts of the political world, do not atrord
much hope that the so-long-talked-ot passage of the Pruth
by the Russian army will not take place ; but, in the eyes
of many of our monied men, this probable event deer not
threaten such serious consequences as others apprehend
from it. The battle of Navarin (say they) has not pro-
duced a war—how much less likely, then, is it to be the
result of the preliminary occupation of some provinces
which are entirely destitute of troops to oppose the occu-
pation of them ?

VIENNA, APRIL 11.
The last numbers of the Vienna Gazette give the
Treaty of Navigation and Commerce between their Ma-
jesties the Emperors of Austria and Brazil, signed at
Vienna on the 16th of June, 1827, by the respective Ple-
nipotentiaries (Prince Metternich and the Marquis de Re-
zende), the ratifications of which have lately been ex-
changed. The basis of the Treaty is a perfect reciprocity
between the two empires, the subjects of which shall be
allowed to trade in all the ports which are open, or may
be open in future, to any foreign nation. Articles under
the description of contraband of war are excepted, as well
as the coasting trade from port to port. The sth article
runs thus order to determine the nationality of
the AUstrian and Brazilian ships, it is agreed those ships
shall be considered as Austrian which are the property
of Austrian subjects, and built, registered, and navigated
according to the laws and ordinances of Austria ; and that
those which are built in Brazil, and the property of Bra-
zilian subjects, and of which the Captain and three-
fourths of the crew are Brazilian subjects, shall
he considered as Brazilian. His Majesty the Emperor of
Austria, with a view to facilitate the navigation of Brazil,
consents to waive for the present this last stipulation ; the
proprietor and the Captain, however, must be Brazilians,
and the ships have all their papers in the legal form. By
Article. VI. All goods, merchandise, and articles what-
soever, of the produce and manufacture of the subjects
and territories of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, and
consigned from the ports of Austria for consumption, may
be imported into 01 and every of the ports of the Empire
of Brazil, (to whomsoever consigned) without being liable
to different or higher duties than those now paid,
or which shall he paid in future, on the same merchan-
dise, articles, &c. by subjects of the most favoured nations,
conformably to the general tarif of customs, which will
be promulgated for this purpose in all ports of Brazil
in which there are or shall be custom-houses. When the
most favoured nation is Spoken of, Portugal is not to be
understootthough it should obtain commercial advantages
in Brazil. Art. VII. When articles, of-the produce or
manufacture of Austria, imported into Brazil for con-
suniptioo, Lave no fixed value.in the tariff, the importer
may (rive a declaration of their value ; but if the custom-
house officers judge the value to be too incorrect, they may
take the goods so undervalued, paying to the vender, in
fifteen lava,
10 per cent. above the estimate, and so reim-
burse the duties already paid. Art. VIII. stipulates the
same facilities for the pli•ostdmulcpetinditm, atuhuefpacotrlttsreof.oitulsltrraizail.
