GERMAN PAPERS.

LETTER FROM CONSTANTINOPLR, M•* 24.
Accounts have at length been receiied of the opera•
tions of the Grand Vizier in the coarse of this month.

•After taking the chief command, he sent several de-
tachments to the neighbourhood of Varna, and thriltat-
ened all the points of communication between that place
and Issaktchi. He himself undertook a grand moon-
noissaace towards Varna, from which place General
Roth sent two divisions to oppose him. Since several
actions ensued, in which the Russians are statSd to
have had several thousands killed and wounded, at 700

taken prisoners. (Some accounts say that no q►iarter
was given on either side). Pravadi is reported to have
been stormed several times, and in the end wholly de-
stroyed. After these sanguinary actions the Grand
Vizier returned to his position at Sebumla, whence Hos-
sein Fiche had marched with 15,000 men by way of
Rasgrad to Rudschuk. It is now said that the Grand
V.zier has marched towards Silistrie, as the Jiessian
main army bad crossed the Danube, and was a&kancing
against that place, but no particulars are knows •
The Pulls of Negrepent reports that the greatest
distress prcvails in the Principalities; that the peasants
had taken refuge in the forests to avoid the miseries of
war; and that the plague had happened in several dis-
tricts. Similar accounts came from Bulgaria.
Bread is still scarce in our capital, though we have
had some supplies from the Black Sea.
Mr. Cartwright, the English Consul General, has 'st-
rived from the Dardanelles, and Mr. Gorden, the Am-
bassador, is expected every hour. The renewal of
diplomatic negotiations with England has made an
evident impression on the capital.
LETTER FROM THE FRONTIERS OF WALLACHIA;

MAT 25.

The bombardment of Siiistria has already com-
menced. In the night of the 21it the horizon appeared
red in that direction ; and it is even affirmed that the
Turks, who are said to be only 13,000 strong, had
offered to capitulate, but that Count Diebitsh had re-
jected all proposals, expecting to take the fortress byl
storm before the end of this month. The executive
Divan has received orders from the new Vice President

Bosniakow, to provide subsistence for an army of ninety
thousand men. Nobody knows whether these new re-
quisitions are for the army beyond the Danube or,
for expected reserves. The only thing certain is, that
they must be furnished. There is a report that all
the revenues of the Monasteries will be farmed for a
series of years.
- Travellers who come from Bucharest say, that the
bodies of the dead and dying are seen in all the streets,
and new cases of plague ate made known every hour.
The cold and wet weather ind the total want of sunshine
for the last ten or twelve days had a very pernicious in-
fluence, and retarded the recovery of the sick. The min
litany had 'left the city, except a few hundred' men to
mount guard. The rest are in tents before the city,
and all cummonication with them is prohibited. Yet
individuals have endeavoured to get into the camp,
under cover of night ; but they were discovereti,
and one of them was found to have the plague upon
him. The German surgeons at Bucharest have been
called upon by the General Staff to repair to the army ;
but they are ►aid to have declined, stating that they
would rather leave Wallachia entirely. Tire little town
ef• Buscu has been insulated for the last fortnight, and
the military route led through it is now three leagues
on one side in the direct line to Hirchova.
The permission given to the Boyards to go to Tran-
sylvania has been recalled.
Three thousand reapers are gone from Wallachia to
Bulgaria. A park of artillery, consisting of twelve
18-pounders, has lately gone towards Ginrgevo ; 200
carpenters are employed on the bridge of Kallarasch,
but with every exertion it cannot be soon completed. as
40 pontoons were destroyed or carried away by the late
inundations.

he conversed in the most arable manner with all the
Christians present, and, what no Turkish Sultan ever,
did'before, stopped there to dinner. •
The Russian bloclade extends from Adramiti to Enos.
However, daring the last week several ships have ar-
rived, not only from the Euxine but the Archipelago.
Slicers under different Rags, without molestation, and
have brought large supplies of rice and flour. The Roe-
sfans now reckon oil among contraband of war, which
has caused the price to rise considerably.
HADIEWEGH, Jima 19.
The difference between the Duke of Brunswick and
'his Parliament continues. His Serene Highness wishes
to regulate the fundamental law of his dominions ac-
cording to the Constitution granted in 1776. By this
Constitution the Nobility were left with full enjoyment
of many of the most objectionable privileges of the feudal
system. To the honour of the Nobles of the Duchy. it
appears that they oppose the renewal of those privileges.
and insist upon the maintenance of the more liberal Con-
'Minion granted during the minority of the present
Duke. 'The affair has been referred to the Diet.

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said he had to apprise their
Lordships that a mistake bad been committed with reference to a
Bill for Regulating the Employment of Children in Cotton Fac-
tories. The Bill, after baviog been brought to their Lordships
House from the House of Commons, had passed with one amend •
'dent. and the Royal Assent was subsequently given to the Bill,
without that amendment having been -communicated to the House
of Commons, and consequently without their concurrence. He
ima now, therefore, to move, that a Committee be appointed to in.
fluke into the circumstances.—Order.-.t

MISSAGI VLOM Tit COMMONS.

Sir A. Gums and other Members of the House of Commons
brought up a Message to the following elect—" That the Com-
mons do desire a conference with your Lordships on the subject
matter of a fell. entitled An Act to Amend the Law for Regu-
lating the lCmpinymenr of Children in Cotton Factories.'" .
Rarl of SH A FfESBURY communicated the Message to
their Lordships, and then addressed the Messengers, " Gentlemen
of the House of Commons, the Lords do agree to the Conferenie
as desired, and propose that the same be held forthwith in the
Painted Chamber." After which the Members retired.

On as motion of Lord ELLEN BOROUGH the following
Peers were appointed to hold the Conferessee:
The Marquis of Tweeddalt. the Earl of Lauairdale. Lord Go-
&rich, Lord Farnborough, Lord Skelmersdak, Lord Hill, and the
Bishop of Chester.
The Deputy Usher of the Black Rod hydra& announced that the
Commons were ready to hold the Conference, the Lords' Managers
withdrew to the Painted Chamber. When they returned,
Lord GODERICH informed the House that the House of Com-
mons having perceived by their Lordships' Journals that a Bill,
entitled " An Act to amend the law for regulating the employment
of Children in Cotton Factories," bad received the Royal Assent,
with one amendment made by their Lordships, which had not
been agreed to by the Hou,e of Commons, requested of their Lord-
ships to explain the circumstances under which the said Bill had
received the Royal Assent. Upon which,
Lord ELLEN BOROUG H moved, that a Message be sent to
the House of Commove expressive of their regret that the mistake,
which was entirely accidental, had occurred. and also to state that
the amendment was merely' a verbal one, being only the omission
of the words " to occlude;' which was agreed to.
Lord KING presented a Petition from Kidderminster against
the East India monopoly.
Lord ELLEN BOROUGH rase, and stated, that as the case*
they had first considered was one without precedent, perhaps it
would be more agreeable to the House of Commons that their Lord-
ships' resolution should be made known to the Members of chat
House by means of a conference than through their Lordships Mes-
sengers. He bad, therefore, to move that the former order be
rescinded, and that the following Peers he appointed the managers :
The Marquis of Lansdown, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Earl of
Lauderdale,' Lord Fernborough, Lord Fevenham, Lord Beresford.
and the Bishop of Lincoln.
The motion having been agreed to the Lords managers withdrew,
and on their return,

The Marquis of L ANSDOWN stated that the House of Com-
mons would attend at their Lordships bar.
A massage from the House of Commons was brought by Sir A.
Grapt and others, saying that the House of Commons was per-
fectly satisfied with the explanation gi►en by their Lordships at the
Lite conference respecting the proceedings relative to a Bill to alter
and amend the laws for regulating the Employment of Children of
a certain age in Cotton Factories; that, further, the Houle of
Commons approved of the amendment their Lordships had made,
and would forthwith pass 'a Bill to render valid and effectual the
said amended Bill.

A message was also brought up from the lower House signifying
assent,;bout amendment, to Stock's Divorce Inll, Thorndyke's
Divorce Bill, and another private BiU.
After a short interval Sir A. GRANT and others from the Com-
Mons brought up the Bill mentioned above for rendering valid the
amended Bill. It was Immediately read a first time, and Lord
&Luscious-a' gave notice that tomorrow he would move the sus-
pension of Standing Orders, with a view "to allow it to pass through
its several stages in our day.
Their Lordships then Adjourned at Hacrorass St: o'CLoce till
to-morrow.

sauce Of remixes.
The SPRAYER announced to the House that he had to call its
attention to a matter of considerable importance, inasmoich as it
involved a breach' of the privileges of the House. It had• been
discovered that a Dill passed by the House for regulating the em-
ployment of Children in Factories had been amended in the House
of Lords, and received the Royal Assent, without having been
returned to the House of Commons for its consent to the amend-
ments se made.
On the motion of Mr. Hamm, a Committee was appointed.
The Committee, in a few minutes afterwards, reported that they
had esaniined the Journals of the House of Lords, and found the
statement to be correct.
A Message was then sent to their Lordships requesting a con-
/nonce scathe matter.
A short time afterwards Mr. Rasmus appeared at the bar (the
Sesames having resumed the Chair), and stated that they bad
communicated the Resolutions of the House to the Committee of
the Lords, who had given for answer that they would lay it before
the House of Lords.

those mils.

Mr. D. W. HARVEY gave nodes that early in the next tes-
tiest of Parliament be should muse for return. relative to the valve
of all Government property; avid he would now remind the Right
Hop. Gentleman that there was an immense extent of property
that now yielded very little income, but that might he made very
productive. He would merely allude to the Sun island, in the
county of York, which he had good authority for stating would let
far 12 or 15,0001. per annum, but which now produced a very
small sum indnad.

A new wr4.was ordered to issue ix the election of a Member
for Corfe Castle. in the room of Mr. G. Bankes,who bad accepted

Mr. TENNYSON rose to present a Petition from a manuiae.
turer of starch. °complaining that a sum of 25n1. paid by him to the
Tsseise as duty upon starch, which had subsequently been destroyed
by fire, bad not been refunded upon his application to the Cum-
missioners of Excise and the Lords of the Treasury to that effect.
The lion. Member stated that the duty on starch. like that On
spirits, was payable in an early stage of the manufacture, and that
it had been so paid by the petitioner. whose property bad after-
wards been consumed. He considered it a !OM of peculiar hard-
ship. and one that entitled the claimant to relief. -
Mr. GEORGE DA WSON said that cases of this kind would
aceasionally occur, and, as the loss must be sustained by individuals
r the Government. he conceived it more expedient that it should
fall upon the former. The petitioner's situation was certainly a hard
one, hut in retaining the duty it was doubtless borne in mind that
be might have provided far casualties by insurance.
Mr. TENNYSON referred to a similar case of less by fire that
occurred about two years ago at Lerida) Bridge, in which the duty
bad been refunded by the Treasury.
Mr. DAWSON signified his dissent from the lion. Member's
statement.

The Petition was hid upon the table.
Sirs BROUGHAM presented a Peutim from the inhabkants
of the parish of Lambeth, Surrey, praying for a reduction of the
duty on Fut rigs Corn.

MEMOS ►ICM TIM Loam,

Messengers from the Lord, signified their Lotdshipa assent to
the Exchequer Bills Bill and the London Bridge Approaches Bill,
without amendment, and expressed their Lordships desire for a
present conference on the subject matter of the last conference. •
The House agreed to a conference, and the Committee proceeded
accordingly to meet their Lordships.
At six o'clock Mr. HERMES returned f.om the con-
ference with the Lords, and stated from the Bar of the
House that the conference with the Lords had been con-
ducted on the part of the Lards by the Marquis of
Lansdown, who had delivered the following answer to
the Commons—That the Lords were at all tines ce-
sirens and anxious that the best understanding should
exist between the two Houses of Parliament. and that
they were prepared to requite a conferen.e upon the
subject of a Bill pined to amend the law for the Em-
ployment of Children in Cotton Factories. They at
all times regretted that any mistake should occur with
le pect to the business between the two Houses; hnt its
the pre ant case they assured the Commons that the
mistake arose from acci ient, the said Bill not having heels
communicated to the Commons, as had been directed
by the Lords. They stilted further, that the error in
the amendment of the ma was merely a vet bal one,
and concluded by expressing their conviction that the
Commons would be satisfied with the explanation thus
given.
Upon the motion of Mr. Haunts this explanation was accepted,
and Sir A. GRANT wee appointed to cummunicate the same to the
Lords.

Tbe Bill was then commenced de woo, and, having been serried
through all the different stages, was passed without further, com-
ment.
Mr. E. DAVENPORT gave notice that he should
move early in the next Session for the appointment of
a Committee to investigate the causes of the preterit
pressure of distress. He Afield also in the course of
the next Session bring forward a motion upon the eon.
duct of his Majesty's Molesters as respected the affairs
of Portugal.
Mr. H. PANE presented a Petition from a body of
labourers connected with the manutacture of fl 'ur,
prating that a high protecting duty might be laid optics
'the importation of foreign flour.
IIIr.WESTEHN supported the prayer of the petition,
observing that from some extraordinary cause a num-
ber of the finest establishments for she manufacture of
flour were at this time unemployed, and instead of being
it source of profit to their proprietors, had rather b...
teat a bunhen to them. It was evident that some
step should ire taken to prevent the continuance of such
a state of things, and he therefore begged to.call the
-attention of the House seriously to the petition which
-was:tvirjaid before them.
Alter ii Teti words from Mr. Hums and Mr. Taarrrthe petition
was brought up, read, and ordered to be printed.
Upon the motion of Mr. Hums it was agreed that the House
at its rising should adjourn to Wednesday next.
Lord Nue:ENT gave notice that early nest Session he should

Mr. EWA RT gave notice that be should move early neat Ses-
sion for a Select ComtuilLee to inquire into the state of she Courts

Bench, with a view of *obtaining better accommodation for the

Mr. HUME moved tot Returns of the gross amount
of Fees received from the public for admission to see
the Armouries in the Tower in the year 1828, stating
the manner in which the same has been applied, With
the amount.paid to each person; also the ?um in cash
charged for admission of each person in the years 1600.
1810, 1820 and 1828. The Hon. Member observed,
ihat the present system of demanding tees for admis-
sion to the Tower, as a public magazine, was well cal-
culated to cast an obloquy Upon the,,country ; and he
therefore hoped that when the present return had been
made some step would be taken to prevent the continu-
ance of the practice. .
.• .
Mr. PERCEVAL said, that no obitction would. be
made to the return moved for by the Hon, Member.—
It certainly struck him that there would.be•adifficulty
in doing away with the practice of receiving fees;. but
he would not detain the House by sta *, what these
difficulties were, as it would be time eno for him to A
do so when the returns bad been made. '''
