 serious manner Nevertheless the Emperor feel' himself under the necessity of discarding whatever might tend to augment the endorsements of Eu rope, and that might require great sacrifices on tho part of Russia. He aims therefore to maintain hi' friendly relations with all the Powers, and to do IT the interest of the peace of Europe, all that is com patible with the dignity of his throne, and the hono and interests of the nation. The Russian Cabinet it is said, has demanded explanations upon the ar maments in England announced by all his journals

 PARIs.-It appears that the Ministry hal renounc- ed the maintenance of the hereditary Peeage and that they are about framing system exclusive or re- strictive of the rights of births.
 Several projects have been submitted and tonsi- dered. The following is said to have met with the appreciation of the majority, and deservedy, as will be seen:
 The Peers are to be nominated by the kng from list of candidates presented by the electors, and to enjoy their privileges during life The eldest son of deceased Peer is to be capdidate by right for the extinct Peerage.
 Nothing can be more ingenious ihan this II there be any good in the hereditary principle a' present, it is because it secures to the heir of tile right and power independent of the governmnt. Un- der such system the Peers may always v,e freely, without being moved by any motive of stf-Interest or consideration for his presumptive heir.

 The London Globe the 18th says
 We are assured by respectable private correspon- dents from France, that M Casimir perrier's admi- nistraton will derive much strength from the cleo tions Ofthe good understanding which exists be- tween our Government and that of Fance, now that the Belgian affair IS adi diusted to tp satisfaction Of both parties, there can be no question; neither can there be any doubt of their cOmm0i desire to man. tain the peace of Europe. Two objects are, we have reason to believe, in the constant vew of our Minis ters to which they, in conjunctio, with the French Ministers, will, we believe, now apply theirenerges. So long as the affairs of Belgium were uncertain in their issue there could be no consnt efforts made to effect objects highly mpoantto bothand to the cause of humanity. The two Governments may now, we hope successfully endeavor to assist the Poles, at least by mediation; and if that should fail by all other means than those which have the effect of plungng the whole of Europe into another long and expensive war.
 A second and most important object to which the Governments of France and England will undouht- edy apply themselves is the slave trade which, for want oft cooperation on the part of the French peo- pie, is now carried on to extent and with cruel ty which was never exceeded, perhaps never equal led in the worst oftimes The Americans should be called on to unite with England and France in some great and well sustained effort to put end forever to this horrid traffic.

It was also settled that the Prince should leave London on Saturday next and proceed to Brussels by way of Calais, where he will sleep; he will then proceed to Ostend leave again on Monday morning for Bruges, Ghent and Alost, and make his public entry into the metropolis on Tuesday, at l2 o'clock. The deputa- tion dine with the Duchess of Kent tomorrow :; Prince Leopold, the Cabinet Ministers, the Foreign Ambassadors, and Lord Ponsonbf are also invited. We understand from good authority, that the King of Holland has signfed his intention of acceedng to the preiminaries It is M. de Muelinacre, Govern or of West Flanders, and not Baron Woolmar, who makes the fifth Belgian Deputy. The acceptance the part of the Belgians of the peliminaries of peace were received by Lord Palmerston on Monday last It was signed by M. Lebeau, as Minister for Foreign Affairs.
