LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 13, 1829.

Mr. C. PALLMER, the enlightened Member for
Surrey, moved last night in the House of Com-
mons, for leave to bring in a Bill for the purpose of
patronising bulls, and extending to them that same
protection which the Legislature affords all other
animals. We are no advocates of inhumanity, but
we cannot help thinking that the Hon. Member's
motion is one of those to which Mr. BURCHELL'S
description of Lady Blarney's and Miss Carolina
Wilhellmina Skeggs's accomplishments, may be very
safely and satisfactorily applied, viz.—that it is mere
fudge, is without meaning, and of no earthly use,
except as it affords a sample of its author's legisla-
tive capabilities. The practice of bull-baiting is
now—as Mr. GORDON truly observed in reply—
nearly exploded. In the West of England it is un-
known, and even in those parts where it is most in
vogue, it is accompanied by no such excessive cruelty
as should call, for its peremptory suppression. The
legitimate sports of the people, sanctioned by the
usage of ages, should at all times be approached
with caution ; and bull-baiting in those counties
where it still exists, being one of those, and one,
we repeat, unsullied by any great inhumanity, we
cannot but deprecate interference with it. But why
should Mr. PALLMER confine his patronage to bulls ?
Why not extend it to other animals, cats for instance,
and immortalize his senatorial sagacity by the intro-
duction of a Bill to prevent the inconsiderate youth
of our
.different public schools from shoeing them
with walnut-shells ? A very pretty immortality
may be derived from this source, and one more likely
to hand down the name of PALLMER to posterity
than even his diatribes against Catholic Emanci-
pation.

The Allgemeine Zeitung to the 14th inst. received
this morning, in an article dated from Smyrna, states
that important events both in Persia, and on the
frontiers of Russia and Turkey, may be soon ex-
pected. The same Journal mentions, that tie lute
severe scarcity of bread in Ve-,,Aai,a4tinople has been
put an e;,,d to by the fortunate arrival of several
European ships from the Archipelago, with large
supplies of corn, rice, and pulse. The ,4VI•-nt•T was
very active in his encleayours to cal,m, the og4ation
of the people',s minds
SAMiNs, Amp. —Commerci3l letters from Bagdad
of the beginning of March, the contents of which are also
confirmed by travellers from that country, give reason to
expect important events both in Persia and on the frontiers
of Russia and Turkey, where General Paskewitach has the
chief command. Since the conclusion of peace 1.,;,,ei-feen

believed, AS the letters affirm, that this event would not
b 4 without some influence on the operations of General
Paskewitsch, because he must now pay increased attention
to all that passes in Persia. We are here very impatient
for the next accounts from B rgilad, and the Turks flatter
therriseises that war between Persia and Russia is inevitable.
VIENNA, MAY I.—The Austrian Observer has an
article, dated Constantinople, 12th April, which says:—
" The scarcity of bread had towards the close of the Ra-
madan caused some tumults about the bakers' shops, on
account of the great crowds, especially of Turkish women
of the lower class. During that time the Sultan shewed
himself almost every day in different quarters of the city,
even in Pera, sometimes quite alone without any suite or
guard, sometimes accompanied by a few of his courtiers,
viewed with Iris own eyes the assemblages about the bakers'
shops, and directed various measures for the restoration
and maintenance of tranquillity. The Government al-
ready thought it would be necessary to have recourse to
the measures which have often been ordered, and again de-
layed, of sending away a great number of Greek, Ar-
menian, and Jewish Rayne and their families. In fact
some hundreds of them had removed from Constantinople
to Asia, when the arrival of several ships laden with corn
from Sinope, Samsure, Amasserah, Trebizonde, and other
Turkish ports in the Black Sea, which brought above
100,000 kilos of corn, and the arrival at the same time
of several European ships from the Archipelago with large
supplies of rice and pulse, put an end to the embarrass..
ment of the Government. But what has most contri-
buted to quiet people's minds, and to obviate future fears,
is the resolution taken by the Porte, at the suggestion of
Tahir Bey, formerly Superintendant of the Customs, a
man well versed in commercial affairs, in consequence of
which the trade in provisions is declared to be free, and
every body who shall bring to the capital flour, corn, rice,
oil, and other necessaries of life, which were formerly a
monopoly of the Government, is no longer hound to de-
liver them into the 'public magazines, bat may dispose of
them at his own discretion, without any restriction.
The publication of this resolution has excited general
joy in a degree that it would be difficult to describe ;
and the wholesome effects of this important measure were
immediately apparent, as large quantities of rice, flour, and
corn were brought to market, and offered for sale at very
moderate prices. Meantime we learn that Admiral Ricord
has lately extended his blockade of the Dardanelles to the
south coast of Rumelia, as far as the Gulf of Contessa,
and stopped several lonian ships that were going to enter
the free ports of Enos and Saros. As this extension of
the blockade is hot founded on any public notice, it is
hoped that it will not have any farther result."

The French Papers possess little interesting or
important intelligence. The Gazette de France
says " the refusal of the Duke de LAVAL MONTMO-
RENCY to accept the Department of Foreign Affairs
is no longer a secret to any body. It must have
cost this noble person a great effort not to accept
the post to which the KING had called him with
peculiar goodness. A modesty which is very rare
in these times has caused him to see nothing but
difficulties in the task which he would have had to
fulfil. The motive which has induced this resolu-
tion deserves the greatest respect."
