sequences that might ensue.

Letters written direct from Constan-
tinople, by persons worthy of confidence,
leave no longer any doubts on the exag-
geration of the first news which represent
ed the Weehabites as entirely annhila-
ted"
Letters from Rome of later date, the
18th u't.) say, that some shocks OF an
Earthquake were experienced at Palermo
on the 24h and 25lh of February. They
were chiefly felt at the mountain Della
Madonna. where several persons persisted
by the sinking in Of the earth--This, no
doubt, was The origin of the rumor that
Messina had been swallowed up by an
Earthquake.
Corn Exchange, .1prI2.
Our market continues exceedingly hea-
Wy for all grain. owing to the great deh-
cheney in the demand compared with the
supply, and what little wheat was got of
this morning was at reduction oil full Is
per quarter from Mondays prices, and on
Iy that of fine quality found buyers at that
decline.-BarIey is from Is to As per quar-
ter cheaper, and very dull sale the To-
reign supply being much larger than was
expected, and the quality OF great part
of it being such as suits malisters.
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
Paris, .Mareh 90.
If the existence of a genuine public o.
pinion in France could any longer be
doubted, it would suffice to compare the
effect produced, in the interval Of one
month, on private affairs and OIL general
confluence, by the adoption, IN the cham-
Der OF Peers, OF the proposition OF M. Dc
BartheIemy, and by its rejection IN that
of the Deputies.-Frenchnen understand
ambiguous measures, and all classes OF So
ciety forSaw, at hrst view, the aim oil this
attempt, which was as unlimited IN It's Ell
fects as it was vague in its expression. In
support of this, appeal TO the JOY OF the
enemies OF our institutions, and the alarms
of the real friends ufthe king anu the Guar
fer. The counter-biow To this incident
manifested to the government, that the
majority of the Chamber of Peers was IN
an inverse proportion TO the interests OF
the majority OF The nation. Hesitaing was
out OF the question. Seventy five Peers
were nominated-but on the other hand
the efforts which ministers found them
selves compelled to make, in order to
floating part of the majority in
the Chamber of Deputies, must have con-
vinced them how very uncertain will al
ways be the majority of Chamber so lit
tie numerous, and in which few maneu-
vres are sufficient to influence twenty or
thirty woes, and thus to obtain results con-
trary to the desires and necessities Of the
majority of the nation which that Cham
Der is delegated to represent.
A government animated by sincere mo-
tiyes, will desire majority from convic
ton in the Chambers, and renounee the
creation of factious majoritles by intrgues
which may be destroyed with equal faci-
lily, by counter intrigues.
Such a majority, united by conformity
of principles and supported by sincere
conviction can ouIy be obtained by nu-
merical augmentation of the Chamber Of
Deputies, where distinct parties, the Ultra
Liberoux and the Ultra Royalists, are but
