vote which they felt boiind to give in opposition to Mr. Peel, we suppose on the East Ret fori bill. Mr. rtuskisson, after giving his vote, thought it necessary to write to the duke, stating that having conceived himself obliged to tote against Mr, Peel, he was Teady to tender his resignation, if his grace thought proper. No idea of Mr. H' resig nation would have been entertained by tut duke, if the letter had not been written ; but it having been written he did not feel himself bound to solicit him to remain. The other resignations appear to have been in consequence of these two. The same paper states that the place of Mr Huskisson, as colonial secretary is to be filled by sir George Murray, and affirms with great confidence, that the changes will produce no change in the system of domestic or foreign policy says that sir Henry Hardinge, and the right hon. Mr. Fitzgerald have been named as successors to lord Palmerston, as pay master of the army, but that nothing positive was known as to this appointment, Mr. F. be ing absent in Ireland. Mr. Charles Grant's successor was not known, nor was that of Mr. William La nb as chicl secretary of Ireland. A council of the present ministers assembled on the 23th, consisting of the duke of Wellington, earls IHthurst, and Aberdeen, lord Melville, lord Lynrlhurst, Mr. Peel, Mr. Goulburnand Mr. Herries. Parliament is expected to sit till July. It was not thought the Budget can be brought forward till June. The king gave a grand bill on the night of night of the 26th of May. It seems to be hinted that he discovers an indifference to public affairs. FR.IXCE. The French chamber of deputies have passed the law for the loan of 80,000,000 francs, by a great majority. The general sense appears to be, that, as a leading continental power, she must at least put her self in such an attitude that no unexpected consequences, originating in the conflict between Turkey and Russia, should find her un prepared It is rumored at Paris, that a peace has been negotiated with the dey of Algiers. Jjfairs of the East.l is now confirmed that the Russian troops crossed the Lower Pruth and the Danube, in several corps, on the 7th of May at Roni and Ismael. On their approach the Turks set fire to Galats, and retired to Brahihw. Wallachia and Moldavia were occupied without resistance. The Russians were expected at Bucharest o the 9th A Russian fleet had sailed with twelve thousand troops on board, which appeared off the mou h of the Danube, steering for Varna, where the troops were to be landed. The grand duke Michael set out from St. Petersburg on the 4th, and the emperor on the 7th to join the army It is said that the army will not pass the Piuth till after the emperor's arrival at Ismael The Turks arc reported to have assembled at Bulgaria and Roxnelia, inclusive of the garrisons and fortresses, twenty thousand regular troops, twenty thousand body guards of the pachas, and about one hundred thousand militia. Letters from Jassy, dated May 9, state that the Russians continue to advance with rapidity 1 their advanced posts were on that day, thirty eight worsts beyond Jassy. Their force occupying Moldavia amounted to thirtyfive thousand men. An article dated Constantinople, April 25, states that the Hairam had passed over quietly, and that thcic did not appear to be the least symptoms of alarm, or of a disposition to insurrection in the city. The sultan has issu cd repeated and vigorous orders for the gen cral arming of the people; accoiding to these, thirty thousand mm arc to assemble at RudschuW. eight thousand at Adrianople, and one hundred thousand at Constantinople ; but but as the latter division only amounts to 25 thousand men, it is assumed that the others o not amount to more than a fourth of their nominal force A letter from Constantinople dated the 26th ult. states that on the 2 1st there had been a giand cavalry review at which the sultan appeared in European costume, and commanded in the European manner. The conduct of the sultan and divan appears composed and resolute; and in the capital, tranquility prevailed, though not unaccompanied by apprehension Several Russian vessels of car had appealed at the mouth of the BosphoroMs, Which led to the apprehension of a bombard Oient. Accounts from Eypt to the 13th April, State the determined resolution of the pacha to support the cause of the sultan in the Morca. Provisions had been sent off to supply the troops. The manifesto issued by Russia had been received at Alexandria, and produ ccd a great a sensation. The French papers state on the authority or letters from Alexandria, that the pacha of Egypt was busily engaged in repairing the fortifications of the city, and raising new troops; the nun ber of regular troops remaining in Egypt was scarcely ten thousand men. It was feared that the allies would, in a short time, blockade the port, as a large conoy was preparing to sail, and it was known that the allies would not suffer any further succour to be sent to Ibrahim. The Greek bishops are gone from Arta to the Morea, to proclaim the amnesty. It is said that tiu v are ordered by the patriarch to publish an anathema against count Capo d'Is-tria.

ii Gibraltar paper of the 1 2th bF May, contains a proclamation cf the lieutenant governor of Malta, abolishing the "Privilege of Sanctuary" in criminal cases, and declaring that those wicked and profligate men, who have often been tempted to commit murder, robberies, and other atrocious crimes, in the hope of escaping punishment,' by taking refuge in the churches, and other consacrated places, shall hereafter not avail themselves of such immunity. Abr. Jour. Antarctic Ex fi edition. Upon inquiry at the navy department, we learn that no order has yet been issued for the return of the Hornet, with a view to equip her for the exploring expedition to the South seas. This vessel has been desi jnated, however, for that purpose, and will be ordered home from her present cruising ground without delay. It is not yet determined who will be appointed to command her. 'at. Int. If. S. Trocfis A detachment of troopF, numbering 160, arrived here yesterday, in canal boats, from Green bay, via Buffalo, and left for New York in the afternooiii in the steamboat Victory, capt. Thomas Wiswatl. Their destination is the north eastern frontier, in the state of Maine. The frequent marching of troops to that quarter, would seem to indicate trouble. This detachment was accompanied by inspector general Croghan. Mr. Grattan (son of the famous llcnrv,) in his speech on the Catholic question, mnde the following remarks Time presses, for who can say how soon we maybe involved in a new war, and how soon we may again have eccasion for the services of the brave and loyal Catholics of Ireland ? Have they not met in America a spirit of sympathy until lately unknown? Let us fake care we do not excite in our trans Atlantic colonics a feeling that may lead to their ultimate separation These Irishmen who return from America exhibit a degree of thoughtful stubhorncss which surprises by its contrast. He goes where the spirit of Washington still survives, and the genious of Washington still animates and when he revisits his native country, he is no longer the humble and subservient catholic, but the reflecting and stubborn ItishAmerican." Ftf-ricar GdrERXMEsr. The rood people of the township of Ormstcd, being persuaded of the superiority of the 11 Petticoat form of government," to all others, have, for two successive years, made choice of a " Female Constable as a terror to evil doers," within the bounds of the township.

Thousands of acrcs however remain with the patentee, and will afford immense wealth to himself and his descendants. On the opposite s'de of t Texas, and in a quarter possessing greater advantages, ano ther colony is fast rising into importance under the patent of Col. Milam. There are 200 families already settled on the clluvian of Red River, nearly over against Miller county in Arkansas. The cotton lands yield astonishing crops of the finest cotton, tobacco and corn innumerable herds graze on the elevated prairies and the mountains are known to contain the precious metals. The colonists arc to be exempt from taxes, and the merchandize lhay may import, will pay no duties. The law of Mexico, prohibiting slavery, is evaded by having negroes bound to serve cn apprenticeship of 99 vcars There are several planters who number 50 or 60 such apprentices. New. Orleans will receive the productions of this colony, by barges and steam boats decending Red River, and send back in exchange whatever the new settlers may be unable to provide for themselves. These settlements, so high up Red River, may be viewed as the links which shall in time connect us in trade, with St. Fe, and other parts of New Mexico. 'crj Orleans ftafier. A writer in the Black River Gazette suggests a novel experiment for the suppression of Intemperance at one fell swoop." " Thinks I to myself, the other day it would be best to buy a large quantity of whiskey, cud get all the drunkards in town together, and let them drink until they destroyed themselves They should be shut up in a large yard, like a pound, with a fence four feet high, over which they could not climb; and then be fed in troughs: and they should be always kept here that they might not go about, as a bad example to sober people. They should have no intercourse with the boys, or any living being. Parents should go once or twice a year with their children and look over the fence and tell their children 41 that red faced monster was once a man; but whiskey has changed him into a brute.
