IPrivate letters from St. Petersburgb state, that the
appointment of his Grace the Duke of Wstrxtocrrotr,
to compliment the Emperor NICHOLAS, on his accession
to the throne of Russia. had given great pleasure at
the Court of St. Petersburgh. The Euranon is said
to have expressed his satisfaction in the strongest
terms, and to have declared that he considered it
not only as e mark of personal respect on the part of
his Britannic MAJESTY, but as the best pledge of the
Continuance of those friendly relations which have so
long existed between the British and the Russian Courts.
At St. Petersburgh, Brest preparationi were making
to receive the Duke of WELLINGTON, and OfiScers of
distinction were appointed to meet his Grace at the

•• - -
frontiers, and conduct him to the capital, where his

reception will be of the most Hz tering descrip.
ties ; a guard of honour will cetnstantly attend
the DUKt, and some military reviews will take place
in compliment to their distinguished visitor, who is a
Field-Marshal in the Russian army,
Costal Lams, whose departure for Russia we an•
nounced on Friday, will, we understand, be absent from
this country about three months ; the letter in which he
was invited by the Emperor Nicnotats to St. Peters•
burgh, is said to have been very flattering, and as invi•
tations in such eases are equivalent to command, his
Facat.t.astcv lost no time in discharging a duty which
cannot fail of very gratifying to him.

We understand thst the CHAscELLoR of the Excase

QUER has deferred the Budget from this evening, until
some other day, which has not yet been fired. At this we
cannot feel surprised, when we see not only* few Members
of the Opposition, but also an important portion of
the daily press, fasten on the Estimates of the year,
and clamour for their reduction—not with reference to

the services to be carried on, in regard to which they
neither. ask nor cam whether the safety and dignity of
the country is concerned in their being performed or
neglected, but with reference to the temporary pressure
which now hangs over the monied world. Hut is this

magnanimous, or worthy of a great nation, the resources
of which are unbroken, undiminished—nay, far ad-
vances! beyond comparison with any former period of
its history ? We, on the contrary, would raise our
voice against this pusillanimous proceeding, and arek.on-
fident that the country at large will concur with us in
affirming, that notwithstanding the momentary want of
credit and confidence among commercial men, this
mighty nation is able and willing to meet all emer-
gencies that may arise, much mote to provide for its
ordinary expenditure.

sent Majesty on the 2d of December, though it should.
be reckoned from the Ist.
Though his Majesty the Emperor has resolved to
punish merely the accomplices of the conspiracy of the'
'26th of December, he does not let their relatives suffer
in asy degree the consequence of their guilt ;—on the
contray he generously load, them with benefits. Thus
he has given to the wife of the poet RuLsizri, one of
the conspirators, a temporary relief of 200(Y rubles,
and Madam VON BtartrwitEre, whose four sons are
implicated in the affair of the 26th of December, has
obtained an annual pension of 2000 rubles, which,
after her death, is to be continued to her three daughters.'

Hi, Majesty has also shewn his goodness by the fol-
lowing rescript of the 4th of this month, addressed to
General Itajessky, two of whose sons were arrested on
suspicion of being concerned in the cpnspiracy. It is
in the following terms:-
6, I have very great pleasure in informing you, that
the commission which has investigated the conduct of
your sons, has found them perfectly innocent, and free
from any participation in the association of the evil-
minded, and that I most heartily rejoice at seeing the
children of so worthy a father perfectly exculpated."

The funeral procession of the late EMPEROR arrives
to-day at Moscow, where it will remain till the 17th ;
on the 2sd it will arrive at Tim, on the 7th March at
Novogorod, and the 12th at Zarskojiselo. Our Papers
contain an affecting desciiption of the belbeviour of the
inhabitants of the towns through which it passes..
Prince MENZIROFF is going to set out in a few days on
an extraordinary mission to Persia, and is to deliver to
the Schah the magnificent crystal bed which the late
EMPEROR had made as a present for him.

This forenoon, we re:eived Dutch and Brbssels Papers
to the $d of February. They do not contain any in-
telligence from the East Indies. An article from Ghent
of the 27th February states, that on the preceding day
Volunteers of the 17th Division, who had engaged in
the service for the East Indies, set out for Antwerp.
Many others wish to join them, and they will embark
together at Hardermyk.

The Second Chamber of the States General of Hol-
land has passed a law for guaranteeing the late loan of
twenty millions for the use of the Colonies, by a•ma-
jority of 78 to 6. A Royal Decree was issued on• the
21k of February, declaring that the Association of the
Brethren of the Christian Schools should not be admitted
into the kingdom of the Netherlands.

The third and fourth of this month, which some of
our contemporaries predicted would be as fatal to the
enmmercial world as the ides of March were to CMIA
have tome, and not only come, but passed, without ful-
filling the prophecy ; and we think we may now con-
gratulate the public eat the fiery ordeal of mercantile
•
difficulty being in a great measure over.
It is true that some houses on Friday and Saturday
..ere unable to meet their engagements, but the number
of dishonoured hills were by no means numerous, and
certainly not nearly so many as might have been et.,
petted, considering that 'these were the days on which
many renewed bills became due. The formidable
list of disbonouted acceptances, thetefore, which some
persons foreboded. has vanished into air, and there
has been no failure of importance. In fact, there
was nothing to distinguish Friday and Saturday
from any other days, except the gloomy anticipations
to which we have alluded, and the gratifying circum-
stance to find, that though the pressure was great, yet
that it was promptly met. This is the more cheering.
avit cannot have bftn in any great degree owing to the
assistance which the Bank of England is ready to give
in advance on goods, bit untier all the difficulties which
exited previously. The Batik, however, we are assured,
is Frepared to carry into effect the suggestions of his

Majesty's Ministers with the utmost alacrity, and wr
have no doubt that it will not merely relieve the present

stud by an exaggerated alarm.
Even before tho .bank assistance is given, trade is
manifestly improving ; during the last week the sales
were considerable, particularly in sugar; and in Spite!-
, fields, airtirs begin to VSURIC a brighter aspect, as
seVerat of the masters; finding the Government firm
in their determination respecting the importation of
'French silks oft-the payment of an ad valorem duty of
30 per cent., have begun to re-employ their men, and
are preparing for a spirited competition with their
foreign rival. In order the better to do this in the
country, several new silk looms, on the French model,
have been recently erected at Stamford. ..
The accounts from the manufacturing districts in the
_
north of England are also rather
.favourable. The
knowledge of the fact, that the Bank of England had
determined to do something to relieve the severe em-
barrassments which press upon the country, from the
diminution of the circulating medium and the want-of
commercial credit, has already tended in some degree
to re-inspire public confidence.

At Leeds there was more business done in the Cloth-
hall, last Tuesday, than there has been for some weeks
previous; there is also a large order for the East IndiEs
executing in the neighbouring towns of the West Riding,
which employs some hundred hands, and by the time
it is completed, trade will have resumed much of its
activity. In several parts of Lancashire, particularly
the neighbourhood of Wigan and Chorley, the working
classes are pretty well employed ; so that we again re-
peat, that the crisis of commercial difficulty may, in a
great measure, be said to be over.

The AUgemeine Zeihnt.rO77le 27th ult. contains an
article from Rome, stating that Messrs. JARVEQUL and
Amnia; who lately arrived there from Mexico, have
00 diplomatic character, and have not entered• into any
negociation with the Papal Government. It is said that
a Priest of the Order of the Jesuits is commissioned to
make an arrangement with the Roman Conn for filling
the Episcopal Sees in Mexico.

If the intelligence from Spain contained in the Etoikl
of Saturday be true, it is probable that the French
troops in that country may, at no very distant period,
be more actively employed than they are at present.
It appears that an extraordinary courier had brought
news to Madrid, that on the 19th-ult. Colonel BAZAN,.
formerly Political Chief of Valencia, and an Officer of
great merit, had landed at .Quardama, 7 leagues from
Alicant, at the head of about 100 men, and that after
baring pillaged the town and church, he had thrown
himself into the ,mountains. The Royalist Volunteers,
we are told, had cut of his retreat to the sea, and par-
ties ofjpfatitry and cavalry had been alit in his pur-
suit, together with a squadron of the• Royal Guard.
All this, however, only serves to show the importance
which the Government attached to the event, and the
*alaipi which it had excited.
A report war circulated in Madrid that General
MINA had quitted London and embarked at Plymouth
for the Peninsula, on the coast of which he was, to fall
in with two vessels sent by Bouvaa„ This rumour
having been circulated with immetse rapidity through.
out the South, had produced so much exultation amongst
the Liberals that the Royalists had in several places
risen against them, and sanguinary affrays had been
the result-.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

There are various reports in circulation on 'Change;
among others it is said that Ministers have in contemp•
lation to propose a new Property Tax to P4rliament of,
Five per Cent. on Lands, Houses, and Funded Property,
which, if adopted, will enable the CHAWCZLLOR of the
Excazuout to repeal the Assessed Taxes. Another
report is, that the Wink is going to advance money to
Government. The Budget, it is said, will be brought
forward on Monday. Consols have fluctuated be-
lween' 76} 1.

A Supplement to the Landon Gazette was published"
this afternoon, containing Dispatches received at the
India House from the Governor General. Some of
them are of old date,. but the latest, which is dated the
3d of October, contains an Official Copy of the Armis-
tice concluded between Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL
and the Minister of War, the terms of which have
already • been given in the STAB; the armistice
was to continpe until the 17th of October, and
the negotiations were to be entered upon on the 2d
of that month; two Officers of each Army were to
meet on the 23d of September, to mark off the ground
for tbe encampment of the respective Chiefs, and to as•
range every thing preparatory to the meeting of the
said High Commissioners. The armistice was concluded
on the 17th of September.
