| In the House of Commons the I'd of May,
| MIR. Huskisson brought forward his long expected
motion on the state Of Canada. The ri. Hon.
Gentleman moved that select committee be APP
pointed To inquire into the difficulties long ex-
| listing between the Earl of Dalhouse's Govern
| nent and the House ofAssemby; and IN the course
| oil his speech went into the history of the colony
| from its conquest down to the present time. He
| proposed number OF alterations, and concluded
with expressing the determination OF the mother
country to support her authority in the Canadian
! Provinces. Sir James Mackntosh and Mr.. STAN
ley opposed MIR. Huskisson's views and spoke gen.
| eminent. The motion was however carried.
In the House OF Commons on the 9Th, Lord Mil
| ton presented a petition from different persons
gainst any additional duty on Foreign Wool. He
SAID that great alarm was excited in the country,
| and he thought the time was now come when his
| haJeStys Ministers ought to make declaration
on the important subject; he understood this dec
| iaration was to be made tonight, and he should
| therefore not trespaSs any longer the House.
| Mr. Charles Grant said that his Maiestg's Min
isters had come to the resolution that tax could
| not be imposed on Foreign Wool, without injury
/ TO the manufacturing interest, and he had now to
INFORM the House that it was not the intention OF
his Majesty's Government to impose any duty on

-4GaiTs in the East.-Wi,hou, stopping to emu
merate the thousand matter Of course rumors res
pecunS the designs and movements of Russia il is
safe TO say, generally, that the accounts from the
Noith ana East ar OF very pacific character and
the Impression has begun TO prevail that hosttes
VIII not after all, take place between Russia and
iurkey. The 81. Petersburg Gazette of the 18th
April, makes no allusion whatever to the military
preparations OF Russia, nor to the intended depar-
ire OF 'he Emperor from his capital. The advices
from the British Ambassador at Vienna represent,
that inc councils OF the three Allied Powers are
again III accordance, with regard TO the conduct 10
| be pursued towards Turkey. This does not 90 TO
the extent OF assuring US that Russia will not &C.
cupy the provinces north of the Danube, but it at
| least shows that the Emperor must have given
po,tve pledge not to pursue hosities for the pur
| pose Of conquest
II is stated from Vienna, April r. that the decla-
ration OF Russia, in its position with the Porte is
dated the 22d of Feb and that il was delivered NJ
London on the 18th of March. The answer of the
Engfsh Cabinet is in form OF a note:-Engand ex-
presslF accepts the assurance of the Russian Gov
eminent that 1t has no views of conquest and de-
cares that i'll this in concert with France and
abiding by the execution OF the Treaty of the 9th
July, II remains neutral.
The latest advces from Vienna are to the 18th
| Oh April, according 10 which no movement of the
Russian troops had ct been made and the bus
tie and alarm occasioned by the warlike prepa-
rauons OF that power, had subsid ed in the German
capital.
The London Courier places the fullest reliance
upon this view OF the present of affairs and
adds the following, from the Frankfort paper of A.
prii Both
1t Is again reported that the Cabinet of ST. Pc
tersbufg has assured the European Courts thatits
military operations are by means intended with
any view to an increase Of territory; but solely to
induce the Porte to fulfil all the stipuations Of the
treaty oil Akermdnn. Ii hopes that the occupation
oil MoldaYia and Walldchia will suffice to convince
the Divan that Russia will never depart in the |
smallest degree from her demands and 10 compel
1t Ill this manner TO satisfy those demands according
to the treaty. The Russian troops will then re- |
main IN their new positions till either those demands
are complied with, it becomes evident that even
this measure is not sufficient TO induce the Porte 10
adopt another system.
The leading French papers also hold the same pa
ciic tone.
