and opponents of Emancipation. The cautimp.ness
of Mr. Pines reply, and the care with which he
irnpre4sed on the House that he was speaking
in his individual cspa:ity, and not as a member
of the Government, is particularly observable.
—..We give, in dte preceding part of our Paper, a sum
mary of the proceedings of the Finance Committee
during the Session. The Ordnance is the Deli:aliment
that has chiefly occupied their attention, and consider-
able reductions are recommended, the expense being
now greater than in 80. The Duke of WELLINGTON,
it seems, during the period he was Master-General, by
his retrenchments, saved the country upwards of two
Millions sterling.

We received, last night, St. Petersburgh,
and Dutch Papers, extracts horn which appear in our
first page. They contain the latest accounts from the
Russian army advancing into Turkey. It appears that
the suburbi of Brailow have been taken, and that the
operations against the fortress were pushed on most
vigorously, and the garrison, though extremely weak,
made an obstinate resistance. The passage over the Da-
nube had not been effected on account of the swollen state
of the river. Theßussian declaration of war arrived atCon-
stantinople on the 12th of May, and was the subject of a
Divan, that sat in deliberation on it the *following day.
The consequence has been an order of the SULTAN, call-
ing on every male between 12 and 60 to hold himself in
- readiness to take up arms in defence of his country
and his religion. This order had excited the warmest
enthusiasm among the people, and HUMIN PACitA
was to set out immediately
.to take the command of
the Turkish, force in Bulgaria, amounting, it is said,
to thirty thousand. The defence of the capital, -in
the hour of danger. is entrustedlo the old Seraikier,
CiloakeW MItHEIVID; and TAMER PACHA. With the
Militia of Romelia, is to, maintain possession of the
Mount Balkan, and the approaches to the capital. The

a Trench General also will go to the Russian head-

inners would have an Officer of high rank in the suite
of the itussian Emperor. This etiquette, which has been
usual on other occasions, and particularly in the last
eimpitigns, is remarkable in the present case, when

The Courrier de Sasyraf of the 3d May, contains a
long article, which may 6e considered as a piece of
advice to the Turkish Government. It shows the neces-
sity 01 recognising the Greek revolution:—'o Theresults
which hive hitherto proceeded from 'the resistance of
the Divan to the intervention in favour of -the Greeks,
are, the fleet burnt, the Greeks flying on the coasts of
Messina, Ibrahim reduced to the greatest distress, and
theltussians ready to attack Turkey with their armies
assembled on the Pruth ; 'and in the interior of the Em
pire commerce ruined, the taxes increased, the new
institutions checked in their progress, and a general
discontent, which is the more felt, as neither motive nor
object can be seen for these long and severe sacrifices?
"The great Statesman. who conceived the Treaty of.
London, and whine loss England deplores, did not wish
to weaken Turkey ; he would certainly
.not have corn-
mhted this error, which none but superficial mind's
could impute to him. He saw how much the war with
Greece lessened the Porte in the opinion of the public
and in the eyes of politicians; it • was evident to 11,m
that Greece would, some time or other, invoke foreign
aid, which would be less disinterested than his own.
His Treaty. checking, by a friendly imervention,another
rival intervention, though it bore the appearance of an
abuse of pourer, was in fact nothing more than a power-
fat gleans to deliver the Porte from the Greek war,
_ sad from impending dangers."
66 The public opinion of Europe has given to the
tevolutino a sanction which is equal to the dura-
tiOa'nfeenny years. The Treaty of London, which was
itself axonseqrrenc-e of that opinion. has given it the
*tamp of legality; combined, they have irrevocably
destroyed the preceding stare of things, and opened the
way to new combinations—these combinations are all
in favour of the l'orte—if, instead of fruitlessly oppos-
ing the impulse which hurries the Greeks to a new order
of things, it knows how to command and direct it--
this is offered to it. Perhaps but a short time is left it
to signify its acceptance. Events of the most serious im-
portance arc at hand, and may baffle all the cAlculations
of human wisdom. Can the Porte flatter itself that its
calculations alone were infallible? The Porte ha.
hitherto discussed the question of right ; abstractedly
considered, the tight is on its side; but the fact is on the
side of the intervention, and in political questions, when
they' come to a certain point, the feet prevails over the
right, and becomes itself right."
