INSURRECTION IN' GREECE.
(From the Second Edition 61 the Times.)

VIENNA, Srrnay.—The following is the tenor of a
most important article in the journal, Austrian Correa-
yondence :—" rhe latest news leaves no doubt that the
insurrection on the frontiers of Greece is• extending. This
is to be lamented, as it adds to the complication of the
Eastern Question. The Greek insterrection, if not checked
in time, may become dangerous to, the• conservative
interests of Europe.. When the official organ of the
French Government condemns insurrectionary movements
in general, and that in'particular above• mentioned, it has
theperfect approval of Austria. The sentiments expressed
in the Moniteur apply to all cases, and tto•+all the phases
whichtitis ill-omened Oriental question may pass through."
(Frans the Second Editioae of the Morning! Chronicle.)

In reply to Lord CAMPBELL,
The Earl of SMAFTESBUEY said it -was his intention to
bring in a bill for the prevention of juvenile delinquency
this session.

The Earl of FiLE3BOROUGH stated that he had, heard
from St. Pet&sburgh that twelve Russian men of war
were about to leave the Baltic, and.that by the =at of
March they would be at the mouth of the Cattegat.
These vessels might give some trouble to the coasts of
England and Irehmd, and he described the mode in.which
other Russian ships were scattered all - over the world,
contending that, if not prevented, they might easily do
great damage to oar shipping. If these twelve vessels
were permitted to leave the Categat, they would do the
greatest possible damage to our merchant shipping,;and,
therefore, he asked the Government whether they were
prepared to prevent those vessels leaving the Baltic.-
The Earl of ABasa►aaN declined answering the ques-
tion, but said Government were keeping , the greatest
watchfulness, not only over the Baltic, bat over all parts
of the world where Russian vessels were-stationed.
After some discussion, the subject dropped..

The Lord CHANcEiLon called attention. to the second
report of the Common Law Commissioners.. He laid a
bill upon the table, comprehending the recommendations,
in which he concurred.; all of which were of,a technical
character. He proposed that, after this bill had been read
a second time, to refer it to a select committee. The

RIISSIAN SHIPS.

In reply to Sir W-Czar,

Lord J. RUSSELL-entered into some explanation relative
to Russian ships which have been chartered' by British
merchants to bring corn from the Black Sea,.and whether
such vessels would be permitted to pass the Bosphorus
and Dardanelles, and stated that the parties, interested
had better make application to Lord Clarendon, at the
Foreign-office, but that there was no doubt that every
care would be take/11°r the protection of British interests.
In reference to the progress of public business,
Lord J. RussEra,..said a supplementary estimate would
be brought in onSriday next, by the Secretary at War,
and that the Chancellor of the Euchequer:would make a
statement respecting the state of the finaages on Monday
week.

The report of tine Committee on the Army Estimates
was brought up...
On the motion=for going into committee;
Sir B. HILL called attention to the ,statements made
by Mr. Maguire on. Friday evening, respAting the remo-
val of Irish paupers, and stated that, after making every
inquiry into the. matter, he was enabled to state that
there was no foundation for the charges brought against
the parochial °racers of St. Pancras, and that they were
perfectly untrue. Greater care ought.ta be taken, before
making such charges, to ascertain . whether they were
well founded or not.

Mr. MAG.E vindicated the course he had taken, and',
read the declaration made before a, magistrate by the
woman alleged to have been illegally removed.

THE SINOPE
On the motion for going into Committee of Supply on
the Navy; F,stimrtes,
Sir H.:WILLOUGHBY, pursuant to notice, asked for: an
explanation of government relative to the circumstince
attending, the destruction of the. Turkish flotilla at Sinope.
He impugned the conduct of our ambassador and admiral
at Conitantinople, and contended that instructions sent
out by. Lord Clarendon to protect the Turkish territory
had not been properly acted, upon, and that this failure
was the direct cause of the attack on Sinope. Throughout
these- transactions there hen an entire- want of
vigour and energy, and lusi.mpression was, that we had
beenalways too late in (Ay movements.

sir J. CIBAHAM said the matter had already been dis-
cussed by several members. The instructiona,of the Bth
of October referred to the protection of the Tarkish terri-
tory, but when the news,haki been received okthe outrage
at Sinope, further inst Auctions had been gl.yen to protect
the flag as well as the territory of Turkey., and likewise
to prevent Russian vessels navigating the 13lack Sea. Ile,
read an account given by AdmiralDundasof the slaughter.
at Sinope, throwing. the blame of the disaster on the want,
of caution displayed by the Turks themselves. Neither
a want of vigour nor decision were, fairly chargeable
against the adrni43.l,

-Lord J. RusazifiStated that nothing of a very iii ..rtant
nature had occurred in the Black Sea since the • saster
at Sinope, beyond the conveying of Turkish troops, by
British steamers.

It is again stated that the assurances given by the
Austrian and Prussian Governments on the Eastern
Question are of the most satisfactory character.
In Paris it is stated that a plan is afoot for detaching
30,000 to 40,000 men of the expeditionary armies, and
sending them to the Crimea, when they would attack
Me irdstopol by land, whilst the fleets attacked it by sea.
