on the Impressment'. of Seamen, proposing that any
seaman having served a cetain per iod should be exempt'
from impressment. He obtained the promise of S.r
Gtortoarecinunit that the Admiralty 'mull attend to
the proposed plin, alihough she (Sir G. COCKBURR)Iid
not think that any material beneSµ would result from it.
Impressment, alelough abstrietedly an evil in itself, and
at variance with the principle of individual liberty, is
allowed on all herds to be a necessary evil, to which
the State is compelled in case of any national emer-
gency. Any measure, therefore, which tends towards
alleviating its effect, deserves the most particular atten-
tion, both on the score of humanity and wise policy.
On the Resolution for maintaining thirty thousand
seamen (including nine thousand Marines) having
been put, Sir HENRY PARNELL proposed, as an amend:
nient, to reduce the number to tweilty-tight thousand,
instead of 30,000. The remarks of the Hon. Baronet,
as Chairman of the Finance Committee, cannot fail to
have particular weight, its the present moment, within
.and without the Home. But to begin with a reduction
in. the number of our seamen, just at the commence•
ment of, hostilities in the East of Europe. when
France has .already collected a powerful Bret in the
Mediterrenean; sad is displaying an uncommon activity
in all her sea ports; when Russia is about sending a new
squadron before the Dardanelles, and preparations ate
soaking in all parts of Europe, of which-we may justly
say, ai Cisi to comonenceseenh de lain," would perhaps
be ',improvident as it would he impolitic. However,
rise finu,e has' taken another view of the question, and
*negatived the amendnient, adopting the original motion
fax SO 000 seamen, including 9,000 marine!.

It v Mild appear by the following article we brave
copied from the German Papers 11 sewed this morning,
that Russia, brides the contemplated attack on the
European Provinces of Turkey, is likewise organizing
a corps for an incursion into Turkish Georgia:

The peace•ju‘t concluded between Russia and Persia
has been proclaimed here with great.tolemnii y. This
happy event will restore our comni,rce to its former
activity. It was believed at first, that a strong division
of the army in Georgia would march to join the
Western army ; but in consequence of fresh orders from
St. Petersburgh, this mcreement will not take place.
General faskewitsch is now engaged in organizing a
separate cot ps of 'lO or 12 000 men, the command of
which will be given to General Krassowsky, and
which is sAid to be intended for an invasion of thi
lartchalik of Atalzike (Turkish Georgia).• The Rus-
Oins Cabinet seems to have serious grounds of cots.
