LONDON, May 10.
Amorning paper says, ministers have
received advices from the Russian govern-
ment, stating the disposition of the people
in Poland is such as MOTTO admit of remoy-
the Rhine without replacing it by an equal
body from Russia. This cannot be done
Tor some time to come, nor can the Rus

Parliamentary Sparring.-In one of our
London prints of May, 8, we find the fol-
lowing notice oflegislative wran9ling. 1t
took place on a debate relating to :: Mu-
rat and the allies" and was produced by
the following expression of lord Castle
reagie-
They had been tainted from the other
side of the house for having kept faith
with Murat, alta time when they had a
knowledge Of his treachery aud deceit to-
wards the allies, and when, from negocia-
tons then pending, they could not explain
the motives on which they acted they
were obliged TO bear the odium of this, at
a time when, if circumstances permitted.
they could have given the same satisfacto-
ry explanation they now did but he
trusted this would be salutary lesson to
gentlemen on the other side. that when
any thing appeared to them in an unfayor-
able light, they should rather suspend their
opinions on 1t until ministers were enabled
to make the necessary disclosures, than
to interpret 1T in favor of an enemy. and
that they should not seek for information
on this subject from the enemies of their
country.
Mr. Whitbread observed, that notwith-
standing the great cheering of gentlemen

bic lord had made out that case which
would entlle him to praise. The question
was simply this. whether Murat had kept
iaith with the allies. AS to lis intentions,
he would not contend for their sincerity,
but unless it could be clearly shewn that
he had actually broken his engagements.
he MIR. w should remain in his former
opinions on this subject, Notwithstanding
all the letters which the noble lord had Ia
ken the trouble to read.
Lord CastiereGgh explained.
Mr.. Ponsonby would not DELAY the
house by going into the question at length,
he would only observe on what had fallen
from the noble lord, as to the receiving of
direct or circuitous information from the
enemies of the country, by gentlemen ON
that side of the house. He denied that he.
or any gentleman who acted with him,
would be capable of such an act-and he
SAID that it was false and base ins;nua.
ton on the part Of the noble lord.
Lord Castlereagh called on the right
honorable member to explain.
Mr.. PonsOHby said, the noble lord had
directly charged gentlemen ON that side
with receiving information from the enc
mes OF the country; if he persisted in that
charge he should repeat Il was false, and
such an insinuation was base one. He
would be very sorry to misinterpret what
the noble lord had said, but it appeared to
him that was what he expressed
Lord Castiereagh said that in what he
had spoken relative to information from
enemies, he only alluded to a communica-
hon whichhe understood was made to een-
teman opposite from Genoa. He did not
mean to say that communication was au-
thoriscd.
Mr.. Whitbread said, that he had receiv-
ed a communication from Genoa wholly
by him. lie did know the
person who sent it, and he believed he
himself mentioned this to the noble lord op-
poslte in private conversation a short
time back.
Mr.. Ponsonby declared on his honor. that
