Those who imagine that, because certain‘ conciliatory
indications have been observed iuGovernment, the Ca-
tholic Question is to be carried by storm, 'and without
stipulations, are, we think, in considerable error. The
course pursued by Ministers on the Repeal of the Teat
Act, masks_strongly the fleferencewith which they treat
public opinion—and wisely so,for in it lies the strength
of every Goiernment. Now, while we admit that tbe
tide is. turning in favour of Emancipation, an admission
which has been madeby even Sir THOMASLETHBRIDGE,
we caunot forget that there.remains in the country a
ipitit of hostility to the measure, which is not to be sub-
&Nl:by threits-4 beep: of ancient prejuslicesA slum-
bering indeed for the present, but which, as Mr. CAN.
obceived,"` may be roused with a giant's strength:,
.It its this consideration that makes.us deem injidicious
the language of those, who, at the present moment, are
advocating
.oaqUalified emancipation. We desire the
,settlement of the question as sincerely as the Duke of
WiirrVedtotz, or even Lord LANSDOWN can do, and
for this very reason we wish to see a Bill introduced,
accompanied with securities, as being the only step by
which s Uill can advance at all. The commercial in-
terest objected to the scale of duties in the new Corn
Bill as being too high, but they did not assert that it
was worse for them than prohibition. We never heard
of any one who preferred no bread to half a loaf. So
it is with Catholic Emancipation ; which must be granted
in such a shape, and with such modificatipns, as will
make it palatable to the feelings of the English. We
ate glad to see that the language of the British Catholic
Association was temperate and quiet, and the reverse
of their brethren in Ireland. We recommend them to
confide in the clear judgment of the Duke of WEL..
usterorr ; the power of his Grace is greater than that
of any Premier that has lately ruled the country; and
it would indeed be deplorable if the indiscretion of the
suppliant should now arrest the hand that is able and
*Haag to grant the boon.

We received ibis morning ag Payers from Paris,

with the Paris Papers. of Sunday. The Quotidieaae
gives an account front Lisbon of great desertions in the
Constitutional force at Oporto, and states that the Mi-
guelites are on the point of putting down their oppo•
cents. The Quotidienne's intelligence respecting such
matters must be received with hesitation.

The Papers are filled with the debate on the motion
of M. LABSET de PONITIERES, to which extraordinary
importance is attached, propoing the accusation or
impeachment of the late Ministers. lie accused them
of the introduction into all t to offices of the enemies
of the State; the hatred of existing institutions; the
suspension or non-execution of the laws; religious in-
tolerance;, the. restriction

The length of the debates in the sittings to-lay oblige
us to defer -till Aq-nsotrow the intetesting news which
we have received from Portugal. We shall content
ourselves to-day with saying, that desertion has begun
to show itself Among the rebels at Oporto; as& that
notwitivtinding the distribution of money, the 18th
Regiment of infantry, and:die, llth of Chasseurs, have
joined the Royalist troops .whichwcre at Amarante
—that the three.vessels which were .sent to blockade
Oporto were cruising at the mouth of the Douro, and
had opened a communication with the Gevernor of
the forrof Fos, which commands the mouth of the river,
so that all the issues were closed against the rebelst
All the faithful troops, and a great number of-militia, .
were assembled at Braga, Amarante, Lamego, Leiria,
and other points. Thus a cordon of considerable force
surrounded the revoked city, in which destruction and
consternation already prevailed.
On the 31st of May, above 20,000 Royalist volun-
teers had been enrolled at Lisbon.
On the 29th of May, a Manifesto had been published
in the capital in answer to that of the insurgents.

If the advices from Vienna of the 4th inst. are enk
titled to implicit credence, the war has began to assume -
a formidable character. The Russian Declaration of.
War has been read in the Mosques, and the Standard •
of the Prophet has been raised. The vehemence of the
Tutkiish passions, when inflamed by an appeal to their
Mien's, is so well known, as to give grounds for fear
that the remits will be sanguinary whenever the two
armies meet in battle. It is contrary to the Turkish
discipline to give quarter, and when we state. tijait the *
troops with that view have marched upon Adtianppie,
we cannot but lament the fatal consequences that must
ensue.

The intelligence from the Russian army, by the .
German Papers'received this morning, have been ;anti.,
cipated through previous arrivals. We subjoin sdnie •
extracts:

CORFU, MAY 17.
Letters front Zante say that the Greek schooner Ave-
sia, which.had arrived at that island, had brought the
news that the Allied squadrons ordered to blockade the
ports of Mesienia had taien an Egyptiancorvette with
Greek slaves,,which was going from Modon to A'esan-
dria. Anatolico continues to be besieged by the Greeks,
though it has received some succour. Zavellu had
lately arrival. at Cape Papa with some hundred men,
on his Way to join the corps besieging Anatolico.' •

FROM THE FRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA, May 26.
The organisation of the internal administration of the
Pt incipalities engages the whole attention of the Go-
vernor General, Count Pablen, and it is simplified as
much as possible, to facilitate the public business. The
Governor General is also endeavouring to make ar-
rangements to apportion the extraordinary expenses
that are rendered necessary by the present state of
things, and which will in the sequel be brought to
account in such a manner, that they may not lean
heavily on the people. Commissioners had been ap-
pointed at Jassy and Bucharest, which are to attend
exclusively to the financial part of the administration, arid
every military Commander is most strictly enjoined, on
his responsibility, to require no mote than is necessary
tor the supply of the troops, for which receipts are to be
given. The subjects of Foreign Powers residing in the
Principalities are flee frcm all taxes, and enjoy the pit.
tection of the Russian Government. Respecting the
operations of the army, we only know that all prepara-
tions were made for the passage of the Danube, and
that it may probably be effected by the end of this
month. It is said that a division of Cossacks has al-
ready made excursions on the right bank of the Danube,
and has convinced itself that the defensive preparations
of the Turks are very feeble.

We know here, by private letters, that the Turks
have not "at the .most above 30,000 men assembled in
any one place, and the Russian troops will probably
advance without much opposition to Adrianople. Brai-
low is invested by a corps of 18,e00 men, and the
trenches were opened on the.2lst, very near 'the fortress,
for the purpose,of effecting a.breach. The Turkish gar- :
