FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Moniteur of Wednesday, May 6.)

PARIS, Mar s.—We borrow the following statements
from a letter from Corfu, dated April 8 ;
" The Greeks are at present masters of almost the whole
of the country between the Gulf of Arta, near Corfu, and
that of Volo, in the Archipelago. In this line, the only
important points are Missolonghi, Livadia, and Athens.
The Turks, who occupy them, will not he able to hold
nut long, on account of the want of ammunition and pro-
visions, and the difficulty of receiving succour. Thus the
Greeks will soon have niade the conquest of all this country,
which is destined by the recent resolutions of the Allied
Powers to form part of the new Greek state. The country
cotnprehesided between the Isthmus of Corinth and the
line from Volo to Arta, is almost equal in extent to the
whole Peloponnesus, to which the free state of Greece was
at first designed to be limited."

(From the Gazette de France, dated Thurday.)

FRONTIERS OF POLAND, APRIL 23.—Letters from St.
Petersburgh say, that their Imperial Majesties will leave the
capital on the 7th of May, and come to be crowned at
Warsaw, where they will stay for some weeks. The Diet
will be opened by the Emperor at the same time. Their
Majesties will afterwards have an interview with the King
of Prussia on the frontiers; after which the Empress will
go to Berlin with the King, her father, while the Em-
peror will go to review the corps of reserve in the Princi-
palities.
It is said that the Grand Duke Michael will also go to
Warsaw, at the coronation, at which many foreigners be-
halging to the diplomatic body will be present. It is be-
lieved at St. Petershurgh, that Lord Heytesbury, the
Duke de Mortemart, and Count Fiquelmont, will accom-
pany the Emperor. There is also a report that the Prince
Royal of Sweden will be present at the solemnity.
Great naval armaments aie making at Crenstadt, and a
new levy of seamen is spoken of.

During the late floods in this part of the
country, the following affecting instance of the attachment
of a bird to its young was witnessed in the garden of a
gentleman living at Tovil. A king-fisher had reared its
fragile abode according to the plain hut beautiful rules of
nature's architecture, and was sitting with maternal solici-
tude and constancy on seven eggs, containing the germ of
her expected progeny. The water gradually rose, and
threatened to overwhelm the mother and her brood ; but,
faithful to the dictates of nature, and despising danger when
duty was in question, she patiently sat on her nest, and
peri.hed in the water rather than desert her charge.—

SPIRIT OF THL LONDON JOURNALS.

Mr. Villiers Stuart has taken the first formal step to-
wards a measure, which, if postponed for to-day, must,
beyond all question, be to-morrow adopted,—namely, the
establishment of some legal provision for the sick, the
aged, the infirm, and the fatherless infant poor of Leland.
We have no sort of hesitation in predicting that the thing
must ere long be done. That the population of Ireland
has been doubly stimulated,—first, by the mixed ambition
and cupidity of the landlords, and next by the barbarous
reckless habits of the poor themselves,—is notorious to
all the world. The landlords, for the sake of multiplied
freeholds, and of enormous con-acre rents, were anxious to
encourage the formation of new families, and the erec-
tion of new cabins upon their estates, while the pea-
sant youth of both sexes, having no experience under
the parental roof of such comforts as require an out-
lay of money, and therefore no feeling about the ne-
cessity of a timely provision for the wanis of a future
family, are ready enough to unite themselves in marriage,
and to accept from the landlord on any terms, however
exorbitant, a spot of ground, be it ever so limited or so
barren, whereon to raise that miserable sty which else-
where would be deemed a dreary refuge for cattle, but is
Leld in Ireland an habitation meet for man. Thus the
growth of numbers, which in England has been called
forth by the increase of capital and the demand for manu-
facturing labour, and which, when capital fluctuates, and
labour is suspended, finds relief, though scanty, still
enough for bare subsistence, in the poor laws, has in Ire-
land an origin independent of capital or labour; and when
suffering under excessive privation, caused by a failure of
the ordinary food of Ireland, has no hope from the revival
of the manufacturing market, or from any fund appro-
priated to his succour by the providence and humanity of
the Legislature. The consequence of this condition of the
Irish poor is, that they beg and pilfer in their own neigh-
bourhood, or, if more enter prising, and with a few shil-
lings in their pockets, migrate to this country in search of
work, where they find indeed a market already overstocked
with labourers, but open to receive them at diminished
wages. The consequence is that the evil of an excessive
supply of labourers is aggravated on this side of the water.
The English peasant is outbid at his former employer's
door—the distress of the British peasantry increased—the
British poor-rates unnaturally swollen by this unceasing
inroad of alien adventurers, and the vacancy resulting in
Ireland itself from their emigration filled by fresh tribes of
beggars occupying their deserted tenements, and perpe-
tuating those swarms of marauders upon the English mar-
ket, which have forced down the native peasant of this
country to the endurance of worse &et, worse clothing,
and of a state more nearly approaching to destitution than
has been known at any period of the last two centuries
amongst us, because his liish competitor is satisfied with
such a condition, which, if he cannot tolerate, he is turned
over to the parish workhouse, and is lost, with his children,
as respectable or useful citizens. Now let the English gen-
tlemen look to it : a member for an Irish county, a man of
large property and high connexion, proposes freely to the
House of Commons a remedy for the above train of evils, the
enormous increase of the poor rates, and the palpable dege-
neracy of the English agricultural population. This re-
medy is the institution of poor laws in Ireland,—not poor
laws with all their actual appendages and abuses, so much
deplored in most parts of England, and unhappily so
difficult to cure, but poor laws which shall take the bur-
den of supporting those who are the proper, and were
the original objects of that branch of legislation, from
off the shoulders of the poor, and lay it upon the backs
of the wealthy. That Irish landlords should, under va-
rious pretences, fight hard against the success of !lo hu-
mane a measure, will surprise nobody who is ac-
quainted with the class out of which these landlords
are constituted. But we trust that the English noble-
men and gentlemen will not be slow to apprize their
brethren from the sister cottony, of the expediency,
both moral and political, that each parish throughout
the United Kingdom should subsist its own poor; and
that even if Irishmen, like Mr. Dawson, should find
their incomes lowered by this necessary deduction from
the gross rental, it is more fitting,--Ist, that rents
should fall than the people should perish ; 2d, that the
soil of Ireland should be taxed for the maintenance of Irish
paupers, than that the soil of England should be overrun
by them, and the peasantry of England degraded ; 3d,
that the gentlemen of Ireland, who were employed for
years in raising this mendicant army, should be furnished
with cogent reasons for reducing it, and for examining
more closely, and more effectually consulting, the domestic
interests and social progress of that multitude of which
they ought to be protectors. Although Mr. Peel refused
to pledge the Government upon the subject of poor laws
for Ireland, he let enough be seen of his own sentiments
to assure us that he is alive to the obligation of consider-
ing, with a view to its amendment, the general condition
of her poor.— Times.

In the Honse of Lords last night, the Marquis of Clan-
ricarde informed their Lordships, " that under the
Poor Laws of England at present, there were many
able-bodied men, through whole districts of the country,
who did not receive more than three shillings a week;
and if that were sufficient for a workman in England, it
would not be sufficient in Ireland ;" and, of course, his
Lordship is anxious to rescue the peasantry of Ireland
from such deep distress, into which they would infallibly
be plunged by the poor laws. Humane and considerate,
no doubt ! But if these able-bodied men in England are
reduced to three shillings a week, to what is that owing
but to the circumstance of there being no poor laws in
Ireland? The lush pauper finds his way to England,
and pays rent to such men as his Lordship, for the
pigstye in which he propagates his species, out of the
labour of the Englishman. The Englishman, tyith his Ss.
a week from the parish, and what he gains by thieving and
poaching (for where there is property exi.osed a man in
want will contrive to lay his hands on it), still makes
more than the necessitous Irishman will consent to re-
ceive. When they talk of modifying the English system,
they talk unintelligibly. The English system has been
departed from since the beginning of the last war in the
Southern Counties ; and we owe this departure, not to
the poor laws, but to a conspiracy of the Gentry in their
character of Unpaid Magistrates. The Unpaid form a
confederacy too powerful for the lower orders to contend
with. They have done more mischief to the English la-
bourers since 1795, than can be compensated for by cen-
turies of the most meritorious services.—Morning Chron.

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING. MAY 9, 1929.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought
forward the Budget last night in a speech, which
though not perhaps of the most promising character,
was at any rate candid, and even satisfactory as far as
it went. He reprobated, and we think justly, the
gloomy apprehensions entertained by many indivi-
duals respecting the condition of the country,
observing that it was adequate to meet the demands
upon it; and that the depression under which it at
present laboured, so far from being of a permanent
or deeply-settled character, was merely transient
and superficial, and would shortly pass away. In
addition to its candour, Mr. GOULBURN'S expose
possessed the still further merit of clearness and per-
spicuity. There was no studied attempt at mystifi-
cation, no dull mindless prolixity—according to the
fashion of my Lord BEXLEY and his school—the
Right Hon. Speaker came to the point at once,
grappled boldly with his subject, the difficulties of
which he neither attempted to extenuate nor conceal,
and threw himself manfully, and, we need scarcely
add, successfully, on the justice, the discrimination,
and the good sense of the House. We shall enter
at length into the matter of his speech on Monday.

The following are extracts from the German
Papers. The heavy press of Parliamentary in-
telligence prevents us entering further into detail
on the subject of their contents

VIRNNA, APRIL 26.—1 n our paper we formerly men-
tioned in a few words some occurrences in Caudia, of
which the following letter gives the particulars :

" CANEA, FEB. 26.—0 n the 20th January four Egyp-
tian men of war, viz. a corvette. a large brig, and two
schooner brigs, which had sailed from Alexandria on the
15th instant, arrived at Soda ; two other men of war,
which were not ready to put to sea on the 15th, were to
follow them, and we have in fact learned from a Genoese
Captain, who sailed from Alexandria on the 18th, that a
frigate and a corvette which were to join the above-men.
tioned division, had met off Cape Sidero (on the east end
of Candia) a Russian ship of the line, which gave cliace
to them. The frigate being the best sailer, had taken the
corvette in tow ; but as the Russian gained on the two
Turkish vessels, the frigate slipped the towing line and left
the corvette to its fate.

" This is the corvette that was taken by the Russians
and brought into Egina 20th February, on the same day
with the Turkish merchantman from Rhodes to Candia,
which was released by order of Admiral Heyden.
.•.

" The. division which arrived from Alexandria on the
20th of January, brought the news that the Viceroy of
Egypt had received notice from Admiral Malcolm, that
the blockade of the island of Candia, by the English and
French (which had so muck contributed to favour the in-
surrection), had been raised, and that the Viceroy was
therefore at liberty to take such measures as he should
judge the most advisable for the pacification of the island.
The Viceroy communicated this information to Suleiman
Pacha, the Seraskier of Candia, desiring him to call on
the insurgents to submit, and to promise them complete
amnesty for all that had passed ; otherwise they must
blame themselves for the consequences that might ensue
from their protracted resistance. The Chiefs of the insur-
gents (most of them strangers in the island, who had been
sent thither to excite the insurrection) required time toanswer
to this summons, and declared in the end that they could
not agree to any thing, as the messenger whom they had
sent to the President at Egina for instructions, had returned
without an answer. Their real object seems to have been
to gain time to turn into money the oil which they
seized upon last autumn. The two schooner brigs, which
arrived on the 20th of January, were therefore sent
back to Alexandria t.> inform the Viceroy. One of
these brigs sailed on the 10th, the other on the 21st of
February. According to the report of an lonian captain,
who arrived at Soda a few days ago, it seems that the
first of these brigs has been captured by the Russian squa-
dron, consisting of two ships of the line, two frigates,
two corvettes, and a brig, which is cruising off the coast
of Candia.

" The French brig of war Alcyone has been for some
days at Suda. Captain Le Blanc, who commands it, had
an interview with Baron Von Reinock, who directs the
operations of the insurgents in this island, in order, it is
said, to leave Candi t ; as his protracted stay in the island
could only bring down new misfortunes on the inhabitants.
Baron Von Reineck is reported to have answered, that he
had sent two of his Secretaries, one of them only ten
days ago, to the President for orders, without which he
could not leave the post assigned him. The Alcyone
goes to-day t, Candia and thence to Egina, hoping to find
Admiral de Rigny there.
" Before the appearance of the Russian squadron in
those seas, the insurgents, who were acquainted with the
resolutions of the Allied Powers respecting this island,
openly declared that they were willing to submit as soon as
they should have sold their oil ; but now that they imagine
they have nothipg more to tear from Egypt the Greeks,
who were before the first to break the armistice that had
been concluded by the intervention of the English, appear
disposed to persevere in their revolt. This has already led
to new misfortunes, for the Turks make almost daily sal-
lies from the fortresses (Candia, Bettina°, and Canea,)
and generally return after sanguinary engagements with
booty and prisoners."

The French Journals contain nothing worthy of
comment. The Gazette de France states, on the
authority of letters from St. Petersburgh, that their
Imperial MAJESTIES will leave the capital on the 7th
of May, and come to be crowned at Warsaw, where
they will stay some weeks.

The Manchester and Rochdale riots have, we are
glad to learn, nearly come to a termination. The
misguided workmen have probably found out the
highly important fact, that noise, and tumult, and
bravado, so far from ameliorating their condition, or
inspiring pity for their sufferings, can only have the
effect of sinking them still deeper in distress ; and
by steeling the hearts of the well-disposed towards
them, of shutting out every prospect of future com-
fort. The mind of the English public is strongly
susceptible of pity ; there is no existing nation on the
face of the earth ; thereis none of which history makes
any mention, so alive to the wretchedness of others,
so prompt, so generous, so magnificent, so unassum-
ing in the number and quality of their charities.
The stream of British benevolence runs in a mighty
channel ; but mixed up with this kindness of heart,
the nation, we mean the well-disposed and reflect-
ing portion of it, has naturally a strong aversion to
lawlessness, nor•do we know any thing so likely to
chill the warmth of its sensibility as an indecent and
ill-advised display of insubordination, such as that
lately exhibited at Manchester and Rochdale. Let
the distressed operatives then pause in time :
let them return to their duties as men, and
as citizens, and rest assured that the hour of
compensation is at hand. Any further violence
will only have the effect of injuring their cause, anti
giving the character of insurgents to those who are
at present sufferers. As fathers, anxious for the
welfare their children—as husbands, sensitively

alive to the comfort and happiness of their wives—
as friends, as relations—nay, as Englishmen, we
implore them to return to their duties. By turbu-
lence, they can gain nothing; by peaceable and or-
derly conduct they may hope every thing.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sie,—Attacks against the Westminster School, and the con.
duct of the Head Master, have lately appeared in the News-
papers. The following is a fair statement of the circumstances
which ocurred there
• _

Two King's scholars, after other unprovoked ill treatment of
young Harri'on, threw stones and coals at him. One of them
struck him on the back of the h, ad ; the nature of the 'injury
was not at the time suspected, nor indeed was his condition con-
sidered dangerous by the surgeon who first dressed the wound.
It is true that most deplorable consequences did ensue, but not
till the offenders had been punished. The offence, though wan-
ton and highly reprehensible, appeared to the Head Master to
proceed rather from thoughtlessness of the result, than from any
malicious intention of causing serious injury. He did not, there-
fore, think himself compelled to expose the delinquents, to the
ruin of their future prospects, to the stigma of expulsion. The
punishment awarded was the next in severity that could be in-
flicted. They were publicly degraded, and will be thereby pre—
vented front obtaining their election to either University. In the
mean time, they are strictly debarred from all the usual indul-
gences allowed to their fellows. The sufferer, whose conduct ap-
pears in every respect to have been unblamable, is now entirely
out of danger, and making rapid progress towards complete re-
covery.

servant, AN OLD WESTMINSTER.

purpose of having such pamphlet first in the hands of all
the Members, he postponed the appearance to claim the
seat from Thursday last till Tuesday next. Mr. O'Con-
NELL ham distinctly announced these his intentions to his
friends.—Morning Paper.

gave, yesterday morning, his annual concert in this roam.
Mademoiselle SONTAG, Madame 111 A LIBILAN, and Miss
CRAMILR, were among the vocalists with their attractive
aid on the occasion.

RIOTS AT MANCHESTER.—MANCHESTER,
THURSDAY EVENING.—I am glad to say that there has
been no renewal of the disturbances here to-day, and that
all was quiet this morning at Stockport, Ashton, Old-
ham, Rochdale, Bury, and Bolton, from all of which
places I have had communications. 'A great number of
persons were brought up before the Alag!strates at the
New Bailey this morning, and six or eight of them were
committed for trial. The Grand Jury is now sitting, and
as bills will be immediately preferred against them, it is
probable that ere the week is over they will be convicted
and sentenced. About a dozen men were sentenced to
three months' hard labour as vagrants, having been found
going about in gangs, asking charity in a manner which
made people afraid to refuse them. A number more
were dis Missed, with admonitions not to be found beg-
ging, and to go to the overseers if they were really in
want."

It is melancholy to reflect that since the 11th
of April only, five murders have been perpetrated, one in
the precincts of our city, and four in the county. —Cork
