VOREVON Mower.--There is more doing in every species Of
foreign Sectuides than in that of the New Russian Steck, as it
appears most of the Brokers and Merchants are decidedly
against u.. Yesterday the City Goliath went recruiting his friendly'
and gave them some good advice—to sell out their Prussian Stocks
and purchase the New Russian, but most of them did not like
to take that profitable hint, as the above Stock is scarcely sought
after, and that of Prussia is in demand. 'The Chill Bonds are
still sought after, as well as the Neapolitan. The above Market
is not very brisk this morning, owing to money still remaining
scarce. Chili 76 ; New Spanish 601; Old 601; Neapolitan 724;

Last night Sir JAMES MAactryroatt,-in an able and
eloquent speech, brought forward the state of the
Criminal Code; and although a subject so often dis-
cussed could not be expected to produce much no-
velty or to be supported by new arguments, yet such
was the impression of this Honourable Member's
eloquence on the House, that he obtained from it a
pledge to take into its consideration early next Ses-
sion the means of giving eficacy to the Criminal Law,
and abating its undue rigour; and, that it should
adopt measures for strengthening the Police, and ren-
dering she punishment of transportation and impri-
sonment more effectual for example and reformation.

A singular change appears to have taken place
within the last few days among the Country Gentle..
men, if we are to consider Sir THoMAs LETHBRIDGE
their organ in the liouse of Commons. It is not
more than three weeks, we believe, since Lord Lon-
DM:DERRY, by threatening to resign, induced the
Country Gentlemen to vote for the Grenville job
of the Swiss Embassy ; and the general adherence
of their leader, Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGE, to Mi-
nisters, has long been proverbial. What then
must have been the surprise of the House last
night to hear that Sir THOMAS had deserted Mi-
nisters, turned a Reformer, and wore a white hat!
The plain truth is, that the Country Gentlemen, who
are quite as selfish as Ministers, have been cajoled by
by them ; they have given a ready support to the
measures of Government, in expectation of having
restrictive laws to raise the price of agricultural pro-
duce; but " over the bridge, good bye, Saint," is the
motto of the Marquis of LONDONDERRY; and, having
got the aid of the Country Gentlemen to carry him
through all the material business of the Session, he
now turns round upon them, and, crsdat Judteus
accuses Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGE of using inflant-
matory language ! We wish we had been in the
House at the time, only to have looked at the
worthy Baronet's head ; for, as he declared him.
self, that his hair stood on end whop Sir FRANCIS
BURDETT, some dozen years ago, .bronght a ge-
neral charge against the House, how most he
have felt on being personally accused of using in-
flammatory language, and that, too, by his quondam
friend the Marquis of LONDONDERRY?—." This was
the unkindest cut of all r—it did not, however, db.,
concert the worthy Baronet, who boldly declared
that the measures of Government were gradually
bringing forward Parliamentary Reform—that the
Yeomanry of the country were now becoming Re-
formers—that those who had formerly turned away
from Reformers with contempt, now listened to
.them cheerfully—that he (Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGE)
. thought Parliamentary Reform necessary, .that he
would agree in such a Reform as bad been brought
forward by Lord Jolts RUSSELL, and were it ever
again brought forward, he would vote for it. We
wish, were it only.for the novelty of the thing, that
Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S Motion stood for this evening,'
that the worthy Baronet might be taken while the
fit is on him. But why should we express surprise
at the change in Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGE'S politics?
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY was once a Reformer!

• The Paris Papers of Sunday last bring no intelli-
gence of importance. They are principally occupied
in discussing the relative credit due to the pretended
Russian declaration of war, and the pacific statements
of the Austrian Observer. The Constitutionnel,
allud-
ing to the Russian Manifesto, says—" We did not
receive in the course of yesterday any new informa-
tion relative to the document which we gave in our
last number ; and our uncertainty as to its genuine-
ness is still the same. The last received number of
the Frankfort Journal is of the 28tb, which might be

ignorant of • this deelaratioureZigtidiSdied Intelli• ;
gence no later than the p . Snow osr.list'
wit have not received a single prints letter from'
Germany ; and, excepting that in the Austrian Ob-
server (of the evacuation of Moldavia), there is not in
any German print the least intelligence of the aff4irs
of the East. In examining this article of the semi-'
official Journal of Vienna, attentive Readers will per-
haps be struck by the little importance—one mien
even say the insignificance of its contents. It was on
the 20th that it announcedthe evacuation of the prin-
cipalities ; and, on the egd, it adds nothing contra-
dictorrof war or favourable to the maintenance of
peace. Such reserve is strange enough.*
The Journal des Debats, after reasoning from in-
ternal evidence against the authenticity of the pre-
tended Russian Manifesto, suddenly stops short, to
give it the following positive contradiction, which
would seem to be from authority of the Russian Le-

gation :—"• All kind of doubt is just removed ; we
have learned, from the most competent authority, in
this special case, that the soi•diaant Manifesto is a
false and fabricated document. The Court of Russia
has hitherto published nothing like it ; and if, in its
ordinary Notes, that Court has complained of the
diplomatic slowness of the Porte, these complaints
have never been attended with menaces so positive as
those of the false Manifesto. The actual state of the
negotiation—the conciliatory measures of the Porte
—the official news published at Vienna—all should
convince all thinking and unbiassed persons, that,
even if Russia spoke with more vivacity at another
period-, at present, at least, her diplomatic Notes
could not have a tendency to provoke war, nor to ex.
cite the ardour of her people."
There are accounts of the 23d from Spain, which
contain only uninteresting details of the dispersion of
the factious bands. MIbAS, the chief leader, fled
across the frontier, and was received with a rigid ob•
servance of neutrality, by the French Authorities
causing the arms of him and his band to be burned
in sight of the constitutional Spanish troops, with the
other formalities of quarantine.

Philadelphia Papers to the 11th of May arrived this
morning, but they do not bring any intelligence of
importance. M. POLaTICA, the Russian Ambassa-
dor, has taken passage at New York, on board the
ship Columbia, expected to sail soon for Liverpool.

Letters from Rio de Janeiro, dated the 13th March,'
state that great numbers of the Spanish families from
Buenos Ares, who had abandoned that province
during the troubles by which it was lately agitated,
and settled in Brazil, were returning home, satisfied
with the prospects of security under the existing Go-
vernment.
