PARIS, Frs. 25.
The revolutionary journals triumph because no
bureau has Nominated Deputies to compose the Com-
mittee whose office is to maintain the dignity of the
ChaMber' :Logan the attacks of the public journals.
Such a Committee would in fact be vel y useless, when
the most sact el interests are abandoned to the unbridled
licentinisnese, the irruption of which seems now to be
accomplished. Before the Chamber can think of itself,
it must think of the throne and the country.

Anary that the law of the Bth of September, 1807, which

WRITTEN BEFORE RETIRING TO SLEEP.

Good night to all ;—may balmy rest
Smooth every brow of sorrow ;
And each fortorn and aching breast
Wake to a happy morrow ;
Fell Enmity and Discord cease
Their baneful reign for ever,
And mutual Goodwill and Peace
Be erring Man's endeavour !
Good night to all ;—my friends and foes,
The cherish'd and the stranger,
Enjoy the blessings of repose,
Secure from ills and danger;
If one'revengeful thought remain,
One anger-fraught emotion,
I cast it, ne'er to rise again,
Into Oblivion's Ocean !
Good night to all;—those who are toss'd
On Life's tempestuous billow,
Nay they, in downy slumber lost,
Breathe smiling on their pillow;
And when Morn's rosy dawn arpearsi
May troubled skies be vanish'd,
And from their future coming years
All gloom and care be banish'd!
Good night to all ; on bended knee
Let each commune with Heav'n,
Acknowledge his infirmity,
And pray to be forgiven ;
Bow down his bead in gratitude,
And pious resignation,
And rise a man of rectitude,
And better inclination!

the plaintiff purchased the boat for 631. Shortly after-
wards the boat was loaded with 144 quarters of oats,'
to be conveyed from London to Isleworth, and it was
then found to be leaky. It was proved that the boat,
which was bet seen six and seven years old, is as built
to carry only ten clialdron of coals and ten or fifte. n
quarters of corn; and was nut capable of carrying
fifteen chaldron of coals and twenty quarters of Wary,
as warranted by the defendant.
For the defence, Mr. Gummy called several witnesses,
"rho proved that the boat had carried fifteen chaldrons
of coals and !Veen qua• ters of corn ; and that the de-
fendant, before the sale to the plaintiff. had expended a
considerable sum in the re,iair of the boat.
Lord TENTLRDEN observed, that the defendant's evi•

**The storms, which are very vitdent, particularly

Russian vessels coming from Varna, one of which bad
on board the trophies gained in that town, and the other

We have just received very satisfactory- news from ,

Emanuel. commanding the troops of the Caucasus, had ,
returned front the expedition which he had undertaken'
against the Karatchajeffs, a tribe of mountaineers who,
animated by a hostile spirit against us, made frequent
incursions into the Russian frontiers,' and especially
since the declaration of war against the Turks, and
whose country served as a rallying point for all the•
tribes of mountaineers hostile to Russia. After a most
obstinate engagement, the enemy were totally defeated
by our brave troops commanded by General Emanuel,
and lost the best part of their army. On the Sd of Nov.
the Sultan of the Karatschajeffs, the elders, and all the
people, took the oath of fidelity to his Majesty the Ern-.
peror, and as a security for their submission, gave hos-
tages of the Sovereign Family and of . three families of
the elders. The subjection of tae Karatschajeff, is of
the greatest importance fOr the tranquillity and security

" Before the Ambassadors embarked, the Sultan
caused a great Council to be convoked, at which about
500 Ulemas attended, and laid before them for consi-
deration the demand of passports, made by the Am-
bassadors,_ and the whole course of the latter negoci-
ations. The moderation of the Porte, before and alter
the battle of Navarin, was represented as a great
concession, and the question was then put whether the
Sultan ought to consent to greater humiliations? The
Ulemas, who till that day had recommended a conci-
liatory policy, answered unanimously that the Divan
had already gore t)4 far. It was after this result was
known that the Ambassadors resolved to depart ssithout
passports. The Porte, however, does not appear to
consider itself in an actual state of war, but its arma-
ments indicate an energetic plan of defence in case of
an attack by the Allies. If the Russians should pass
the Pruth; the &Um would go to Adrianople.—

THE QUARTERLY DIVItIENDS.

This morning the dividends which became due on the Stb inst
on 3 per Cent. Consols—the New 4 per Cents. and other Govern-
ment Annuities, commenced payment at the Bank of England.--
The amount of the interest to be paid to the Pundholders for the
last quarter exceeds nine millions sterling, being much greater than
the sum required to liquidate the interest on that portion of the
debt, the dividends on which became due at Michaelmas. The
attendance on the part of the public at the dividend offices this
morning, was not quite so great as on the last three or four preyinw
occasions, from which an inference may be drawn, that money le •
not quite so much in demand as formerly. Those who have to
visit the Bank should be careful of their pockets, as notwithstanding
the vigilance of she police employed on such occasions, ar few
gentlemen pickpockets are usually in the vicinity of the Bank ea the
look out for plunder.

POLITICAL HORIZON OP THE EAST.

If the question whether winter would restore peace
to the East, were to be decided by the mutual interests
of the belligerents, we should have peace, for both need
repose. The Turks are brave, and have just proved that
they have not degenerated. They are yet susceptible
of that religious enthusiasm which works miracles. The
nature of the soil and the climate, and the firm charac-
ter of nahmoud, have been of great service to them,
and leave no hope of forcing him to make concessions.
The resistance of the Musselmans has been glorious in
the late campaign; it will be obstinate should the war
be renewed. Turkey, however, could not long sus-
tain the contest. The elements of her military power
are yet rude, and require to be fashioned. Her reguH
la( arch y is sprung from the midst of convulsions which
deluged the capital with blood, and of which the con-
sequences may yet be felt. Despotism governs Russia
as well as Turkey, but in the former it is more tempered
by a further advanced civilization than in the latter.
TheCtars hue long established a regular military force,
and a system which brings it nearer to order and regu•
Laity. Its finances are in a bad state. The population of
Russia is about 44,000,000 and yet its provinces are de-
populated, and there is a want of homogenity in its
languages, manners, and customs. Its force must not
be measured by the nomber of its inhabit Ants. Its army
of 800,000 is now reduced, and justly, to the half of
that number. Russia, in her present state, does not need
conquests, Lot a good domestic administration—the
abolition of slavery, the diffusion of education, and ink-
ptovements in agriculture and other arts. Its coop
plaints against the Porte are mere pretexts for making
war. Tne deliverance of Greece Is now accomplished,
And for Russia to prosecute the war would be to betray
her secret ambition. A second campaign would dissi-
pate ail the prejudices which yet remain in favour of
her so)deration and magnanimity, and would show that
lie Emperor Nicholas is proceeding straight for ward t
attain the completion of the gigantic plans of Peter the
Great and Catherine. Austria does not like the war on
her swollen., and likes the Turks f,r neighbours. Tb.
Cow t Vienna, which loves repose, sleeps in peace by
she .ids of l'achalics. England is not pleased with
the preten,ions of Ru.sia, and with her own idleness;
,and, it provoked, may rrevent, by force of arms, the
capture of Cor.stantinople. Fi Niue will only interpose
Ito procute peace—her policy is conciliatory. It is not
aippo,ed that Prussia u ishes to tee Russia aggrandised.
On every side we think that prudence and reason ad-

for light cloths and leather for account of the Russian
Government, the result of which will be advantageous
to onr market. On the other hand, contracts have been
made in Russia itseif with private persons for supplying
the Russian army with provisions next year.
Letters from' Jassy say, that the stormy season ran•
deting the navigttnon of the Black Sea very difficult,
it has been determioed at Odessa to employ light ves-
sels, which can kepis close in with the coast, to convey
supplies to the Turkish fortresses on the Black Sea
which are in the hands of the Russians. A company
is also formed for the navigation of that sea by steam.
boats.
