NEW METROPOLIS POLICE.

The business of the new Police Commissioners
will not be to administer the law, as Justices of the
Peace—the old Police Magistrates will remain for
that purpose, under some new modifications ; they
alone will hear the cases of persons accused, am
adjudge the amount of the penalty, where summary
jurisdiction is given to them by law. The new Po-
lice Board will only attend to the maintenance of
order, and the prevention of crimes.
With respect to the new Police Rate, which it
described as likely to overwhelm the parishes in
ruin, no snisrepresentation can be knowingly greater
on the part of those who advance it. Do they
choose to forget the extinction of the charge now
levied on the County Rate for many portions of the
existing Police, which will be merged in the new
system ? Will the suppression of the watch-rate
be nothing ? These savings, it has been calculated,
will exceed the nets Police Rate.
We understand that the intention to bring the
new Police into existence in a certain portion of the
western part of the metropolis will be certainly car-
ried into effect on Michaelmas-day (the 29th in-
stant), a period which is selected as being most
convenient for the different parishes, as connected
with the payment of their services. The new
Police Commissioners, with a view to consult the
wishes of the parochial authorities, invited them
separately to conferences by deputations, at which
every attention was shown to the suggestions they
offered. The new Policem,m will be in active
training for a week previous to their being sworn
into office, with the view of making them acquire
a precise knowledge of their duties. Each man, as
well as each officer, will be furnished with a small
book containing printed instructions, defining, as
clearly as possible, the exact course to be pursued
on all occasio►►s, and placing limits to their conduct
which they must not overstep. They will be obliged
to reside within the section where they are sta-
tioned, and in lodgings provided for them, so that
their services may always be available in case of
emergency. Each man will carry a stall of lance
wood, handsomely painted, in a pocket of his coat;
he will be furnished with a pair of handcuffs, and at
night with a rattle on an improved principle, which
is so small that it may be put into the waistcoat
pocket, and yet of power equal to any of the pre-
sent lumbering pieces of furniture carried by the
watchmen.— Observer.

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Messagcr des Chambr-s of Fr:(l..y.)
PARIS, SEPT. 10.—Our 'correspondent in Spain
informs us thre, thanks to the zeal of the secret
agents of the Government at London, the Apo-to-
lical patty had again baffled the good intentions of
Ferdinand. Jr was hoped that on his marriage an
amnesty would be proclaimed for most political
offences; but this measure, which has been so lea 4
expected by the Peninsula, will be indefinitely ad-
journed. They have persuaded him, by showing.
him the reports which M. Bermudez sends fro;;,
London, that there was a junta formed in that city,
which corresponded with all the discharged officors
and with all the discontented In Spain ; and that a
vast conspiracy was organized to foment a new re-
volution. These reports, ridiculous as they are,
connected with the daily denunciations of the Count
d'Espagne, have sufficed to make Ferdinand per
severe in the system of rigour which since the re-
storation has brought so many evils upon the Pe-
ninsula. It is to these ill-founded suspicions that
all must attribute the measure adopted againq the
officers who live retired in Andalusia; it is fi.ont
this cause, also, that we must ascribe the proiecTs
which are contemplated against all those who 'hare
borne arms for the Constitution.
The cause depending between M. Aguado and
the editors of the Constitulionnel, the Quotidien:le,
and the Jimmied du Commerce, have beau out off t,)
The first Friday in November, at the desire of t
parties and on account of the absence of their coun-
sel. M. Aguado demands of each of the three Jour-
nals 100,000 francs damages, on the ground that the
editon of those Papers have represented him as
guilty of swindling on the subject of the finances of
the Spanish Government, as only duping people, its
having decieved the public, and as being liable to
the penalties pronounced by the law for mintse of
trust, and fraud.

PARIS, SEPT. Io.—The Aviso, of the Bth Sep-

pital stores, artillery, and money for our troops in

(From the Journal des Debats.)

Has the sending of Turkish plenipotentiaries to
the Russian General's quarters suspended the victo-
rious march of Gen. Diebitsch upon the c;:pi!,,i of
the Ottoman empire ? Has the squadron of Admiral
Greig slackened its operations against the last ports
of the Euxine, which have not yet submitted to tht
power of his vessels, from the mouth of the Danube
to the opening of the Bosphorus ?
if we refer to the manifesto with which the elm-
paign was opened,—if we turn back to the dec!.a..-
dons which informed Europe of the passage of the
Pruth, we must conclude that the tardy negociations
now drawn from the Divan by fear, have hitherto
allowed a free course to military events. Even
these nrgociations only proceed from a desii-o of
peace on the part of Mahmoud—from an instinct of
preservation, which prompted him at any price to
cast some negotiators before the feet of the conqurr-
in,* Russians, as he flung six month. before his Cirnies

and his Asiatics before the Muscovite columns.—
From the plains of Bujukdcre, from his cant!) at
Tehifflick, he has heard the cannon, and his capital
has been shaken by it. Thirty thousand men only
served to lay open the Balkan. In such a situation
it becomes necessary to gain a few days, even hours.
He has not dared to talk of an armistice to the con-
querors ; he has sent them words of peace, and he
awaits the answer at 30 leagues from the last field
of battle. His predecessors were buried under the
ruins of the empire, bat Mahmoud, who has within
the last four years changed so many things in Turkey
has, perhaps, also regenerated the courage of the
Sultans.

t was, doubtless, against such a case foreseen as

the consequence of opening negotiations that the
Emperor of Russia, on opening the campaign, de-
clared before God and before Europe, that be would
not lay down arms until he had gained the obj;:ct
for which he took them up, and that no propositions
which had not for their base the indemnity of the
expences of the war, the restitution of the disputed
places, and the free navigation of the Bla•k Sea,
should stop the march of a single soldier of his.
Now, however, when 30 leagues scarcely sepa-
rate his advanced posts from the walla of Constan-
tinople,—now when the Porte, deaf to the last mo-
ment to the most simple propositions of the mediat-
ing Powers, relative to the isolated question of
Greece, sends, in despair, a" negotiator in advance,
without instructions of a satisfactory nature, and
without conditions previously discussed and gua-
ranteed, is it likely that General Diebitsch will him-
self interpose a barrier to the torrent, on purpose to
give time to his enemy to prepare perhaps new ob-
stacles to his passage ? Turkish negociations !
How long they last, and to what they tend, are
known. When successful they form truces for a
few years, containing in them nearly all the germ of
future war. Turkey already longs for an occasion
to retake that which she has this moment ceded.
The Emperor Nicholas, after, so much sac.i-
flees, and after a first campaign of doubtful charac-
ter, will not have laid open the Balkan to his troops
tnerely to allow a conciliating motion of the alarmed
Mahmond, to stop, as if by enchantment his ves-

sets and his so!dieis. The Russians have not come
within thirty leagues of the Bosphorus, in order that

the passage of their first merchant ship in the Strait
should become, for some months from this time, the
origin of a fresh Chancery discussion. In fact, this
would not be moderation ; but another explication
for such conduct must be sought.
Well ! this explication, let us avow the fact,
can now no longer be found in the threatening atti.
tulle of Europe. England must of course take her
part in the matter, but the time is past when she
could intervene by menace in this great quarrel. She
could have done so a year ago ; she can do so no
more. She does well to appeal to the moderation of

the Emperor Nicholas. 1:1e has no more intention;
of listening to that appeal, than to resign himself up
to the interests of the Porte in the future negocia.
tions. In a few weeks her vessels will not be so
leisurely floating under the walls of the Seraglio.
With respect to Austria, its political nullity,- arising
from so many causes, appears more manifest than
ever from late events. M. de Metternich has, as it
were, dissolved, together with the Holy Alliance.
A statesman in the last year, when the Russians
raised in disorder the siege of ilistria, behold him
since the battle of the l2tli of June fallen down to
the rank of the most petty diplomatist in Europe.
it is he who has fascinated the eyes of the Sultan
with promises which he is not in a state to fulfil.
It is he who has led the Sultan into a foolish and
obstinate resistance ; and with the exception of some•
military news, partially reported and distorted in the
Austrian Observer, he has done nothing for his friend,
—not even by sending him a sincere note. Certainly
one of the great mystitications of the age is that of
the Cabinet of Vienna in the affairs of the East. M.

de Metternich is very fortunate in having to ex/Atilt
