to fit out a squadron. 'Use gre rest tranquillity pre,
wailed, and all ate assured that the sword of justice,
which the tevelutionists of all counteiee 'represent as
being incessantly directed at their brethren and friends
in Portugal, was never less employed than at present.
The Austrian Observer of the 21st of February says:
—.4 The Ambassador of the Netlierlands et Constanti-
nople dispatched on the %It of January a courier to
Paris and London with the answer to the communica-
tions made, as well by him u by M. Jaubert, to the
Reis Effendi, io the name of the Allied Powers."
Accounts.received at Toulon from the division before
Algiers say that it has had several engagements with
small vessels of the curet's, several of which have been
sunk, and others put to f10g4.1. The blockade-of Algiers
is not easy, because our cruisers cannot approach the
coast hear enough to intercept her communications. It
is to this difficulty that the Aigerines ate indebted t•
runic degree of s,ecurity. The division would be very
glad if a serious attack were made on the town.

Count Saldanha, Cons.rander 01 the Portuguese emi-

We yesterday published the table .of .the price of
corn for the regulation 61 importation and exportation,
by which it appears that the average price of wheat for
all -France is 22f. 57c. Last Ica at this time it was
2l f.-60c. so that there is an increase of 97c. Compared
with the price of last mot.th there is a lire of 39c.
Accordingly exportations still cease to be permitted
during the runtith of March, from the forts of the Lower
Loire, La Vendee, and the L ewer Charente; so that it
can take place on the crust of the ocean only from
Boardman to Tests., and Bayonne.

Sir J. MACINTOSH presented a Petition from the Inhabl:ante

Mr. BROUGHAM took that opportunity of stating. that the
reason why he bad not renewed the notice of motion (postponed
from last Session) on the Important subject referred to in the Pe-
tition presented by his Honourable and Learned Friend was. that
the important measures about to be considered for the tranquilliz-
ing of Ireland, and confirming the security of the empire. would
so tompletely occupy the attention of Parliament while under die.

nial laws, as respected the slave population. (a question which in
impatience yielded only to that on the Cathoise Claims), could
net necessarily receive that portion of attention to which It was
entitled. He should therefore postpone his notice of motion until
after the Easter Holidays.

applause to the measure, and, indeed, uotalle should see what it
