NUREMBURG, APRIL 5.

The Minister of War at St. Petersburgh has received,
from the General commanding in Bessarabia, a very
detailed report of the actual situation of Moldavia and
Wallachia, from which it appears that the Turks, far
from making preparations for the evacuation of the
two Principalities, have lately increased their forces in
them by drawing to Jassy and Bucharest, as well as to
the country, but in small detachments, in or2er not to
excite the attention of the Russian Corps stationed on
the left bank of the Pruth.

The report in question reached St. Petersburgh at
the same time as dispatches sent from Constantinople,
by M. Minziacky, which perfectly coincided with the
opinion expressed by General Sabanieff, commanding in
Bessarabia, with respect to the intention of the Turks
to maintain possession of the Principalities. Count
Nesselrode, Minister for Foreign Affairs, having reported
this state of things to the Emperor, sent an extraordi-
nary courier with fresh instructions to M. Minziacky,
which are supposed to be decisive; at the same time he
gave to M. de Tatischeff, who was setting off for Vienna,
a Note for the Court of Austria, which we are assured
explains the measures which the Russian Cabinet will
find it necessary to adopt in case the Porte should per-
sist in still eluding the question of the evacuation of
Nloldavia and Wallachia, which appears to be required
this time in the most peremptory manner.
The most recent letters from Constantinople say, that
the Porte has not yet taken any steps to put an end to
the impediments which its agents daily throw in the
way of European vessels, which intend to proceed from
the Bosphorus to the Russian ports in the Black Sea,
especially Odessa. The Reis Effendi has paid no atten-

don to the Notes,vehich have been Successively addressed
to him on this subject by Lord Strangford and Baron
Ottenfels. The only concession which these two Mi-
nisters have obtained is the recent conclusion of the
Treaty of Commerce between the Porte and the King
of Sardinia, and even now no Sardinian vessel would
venture to announce its destination to a Russian port,
for fear of being detained.
Preparations for war are continuing at Constantinople,
with as much activity as the state of the Imperial Ex-
chequer will allow. The Government is absolutely re-
solved to have an army of 100,000 men on foot by the
month of May. They are also busy in ptovisiuning the
fleet of the Captain Pacha. The most difficult part is
to complete the crews of the ships of the line and fri-
gates, and to compose them of experienced sailors
capable of contending with the Greeks.
It is generally considered as certain, that M. de
Nlinziacky has entirely failed in the object of his mission.

The French Papers of Tuesday reached us last night,
and this morning we received the Monileur of Wednes-
day. by Express; but they contain little intelligence of
interest to the British Public. On Tuesday, after Mass,
Mr. BROWN presented to his MAJESTY the letters from
the Government of the United States, recalling Mr.
ALBERT GALLATIN, and appointing him as successor,
in the character of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary. Mr. throws was presented to his
MAJESTY, as well as to the Princes and Princesses of
the Royal Family, by Baron DE LA LIVE. His MAJESTY
gave audiences to all the Foreign Ambassadors.
Accounts from Bayonne state that Madrid enjoys the
utmost tranquillity, and that the intelligence from Na-
vane, Biscay, and Arragon, is most satisfactory; but
adds, that at Bilboa and Vittoria the organization of
the Royalist Volunteers had proved somewhat difficult.
The intelligence from Madrid, in the Monileur, is
dated the lit instant. The head-quarters of the French
army are now at Arankrez. The duty of the Castle is
entrusted to the King's Body Guards, the Royal
Spanish Guards, a Battalion of the Swiss Guard, and
the Halberdiers of FERDINAND. There is a general
movement of the neaps of the Al-my of Occupation.
Several detachments had arrived at Madrid from Ba-
dajos ; and the few Spanish troops remaining in Cadiz
had evacuated it, and the city was consequently en-
tirely occupied by the French troops.
A Royal Decree has been issued at Aranjuez, dis-
solving the School of Medicine, at Madrid, which is
stated to have been an auxiliary to the usurping Govern-
ment of the Cortes.

The Moniteur of Tuesday contains a new Ordon-
nance relative to the superior administration of Public
Institutions, which places them more immediately under
the controul of the Grand Master of the University.—
The following article, in pal ticulat, is evidently in-
tended to enable that avowed patron of ecclesiasti-
cal despotism and the Jesuits, to exclude from the
management of private schools and the instruction of
youth, every individual who may differ from him in
religious or political opinions.--6( The Diplomas of the
heads of Institutions and masters of boarding schools
shall be renewed before the Ist September, 1825. None
of them can continue his functions unkss he has received
at that time a new Diploma. The new Diplomas will be
delivered gratis."

Another Lisbon Mail arrived this morning, with
Papers to the 4th inst. The Gakette of Lisbon, from
2.9.. h March to 3d April inclusive, is filled with extracts
from Spanish, English, and bench Journals, and also
from the Bahia Paper called leo da Patria. The
Gazette of the 30th March, " to spew what instruments

the revolution uses to promote its iniquitous objects,"
give: an account of Lord CccIIRANE; and by way ofil-
lustration, quotes from the Eco da Patrio a highly ft:met-
ing and complimentary speech, addressed to his Lord-
ship on the Bth October,lB23, at Rio de Janeiro, in the
name of the inhabitants ; and subjoins an extract from
an English Paper, of 21st June, 1814, containing an
account of the proceedings against his Lordship in the
King's Bench, for the plot in which he was concerned
with Mr. Burr and others.

New Orleans Papers, to the 24th Febouary, have ar-
rived this morning, but they do not contain any news
of consequence.

Last night the House of Lords adjourned to the 28th
inst. and the House of Commons to the 3d of May, a
period of seventeen days, and nearly twice as long an
Easter Recess as has hitherto taken place, and yet we
never knew a Session so far advanced in public business.
On this subject we find a sensible and well written arti-
cle in the Morning Herald of this day, which so fully
coincides with our own sentiments that we shall adopt it.
" This has been completely a business Se.sion. Objects of utility
only appear capable of arresting the attention of the House ; and
though numbers may have barely defeated some of those useful mea-
sures, for the present Sestion, the fact that speech-making had little
to do with them— or with anything else, eicept where speeches were
really requisite—must be very consolatory to the country. Rhetoric
is termed the art of persuading ;—" speech-making" may not inaptly
be called the art of deceiving. However, the House has bees so
desirous of doing instead of talking,that, with two or three jus-
tifiable—and Mr. CANNING made them memorable occasions,
there was no " getting up" a regular debate, with a dozen long
speeches. The " Elocutionists" are out of vogue. The principles
of arithmetic have beaten the figures of speech • the useful has
driven oat of the market what the possessors modestly termed the
ornamental; and the acquirements of the schools, which some
wicked fellow °ace said made "fools by rule," have become so
much " surplus capital." Common sense, the common rudiments
of learning, the greatest experience, and the most liberal principles,
have triumphed over the aristocracy of select and privileged opi-
nions and dogmas.

" Events liave pretty well justified the course the Ministers pur-
sued regarding Spain; but there stand the principles avowed in the
Negotiations by Mr. CANNING, that no British Minister would dare
to advise or co-operate in the invasion of Spain, &c. Their conduct,
with regard to South America, has been equally judicious and cir-
cumspect. The cause of Greece has nut been much agitated so as
to involve the Ministry ; but, however unpalateable the fact may
be, the Ministers of England may have bound that the Turks were

likely to be quite as good friends tolls as the Greeks. gut oh an
Foreign questions, the Ministers have signally triumphed; and in
their triumphs they were not niggardly, for Mr. esstinto, in their
name—and never more powerfully exercising his wit, his sarcasm;
and his eloquence—noticed Lord Joins Russza.t., acted liberally to-
wards the " prodigal gallantry" of Sir Roam %ism% and im-
mortalized Lord Nugent !
" As to the condition of affairs at home, the reduction of duties
and taxes—the state of the money market—the painful want of le-
gitimate opportunities to lay out capital at home prontably—all
tend to shew that comfort, ease, and satisfaction extensively esist.
Suffice it to say, that the ession hitherto has proceeded most satk-
factorily ; though more might have been effected, what has been
done is advantageous, and that if business after the recess be din.
patched as rapidly and successfully as hitherto, we may expect that
the Session will close by the 10th or 15th of June, which i. the
present calculation in the Government Offices. Thus the shortne.s
of the Session will become as conspicuous as the business cliaraver
of it ; and will shew, if speech-making' be proper 'y tvdue,t, h"se
much real business may be gone through in three or lour month.:"
