Honed a good deal of conversation. Ilia

UUU the news from Scinde was, that the Ameer*
had refuted the ultimatum whicli wa* f rwnrdod
M them at Hyderabad, and, in answer to it, an
nounced their intention of attacking thn force un
der Sir John Keane, and attempting to arrest it*
progress. For this purpose, it is said, they had col

Keene wet at Jurruk, within a march of Hyder
abad, at the date of thn ln*t accounts, It was ex
pected that something decisive would take place.
Lieut. Leckie, who wa* thn bearer of the ultimatum
to Hyderabad, had quitted that pine* to j dn the
army at Jurruk. Besides threatening to attack
tha main body, the Ameer* hud declared their re-
•ototioa to prevent the landing of any more men hi
Hqjamree { and i: is stated that Major Brough,
whe was commanding the small detachment, of
the Queen's, left behind at Vikltur, wa* daily in

It was also reported that a large force of Beloo-
chee. bad marched to the eastward for the purpose
uf impeding or attacking, the advancing column* of
tha Bengalee*. The writer, huwovor, conclude* by
- auying, that at the Bombay troops generally do their
work well, it is to be hoped that they will leavo the

Cm.Mata or Deputies.—Sitting of April 30.-
Tba Chamber of Deputies met on Thmsdav nt two
o'clock, under tlie presidency iff M. II. I’asty.—
The halfbour before the business commence-! was
filled up by the deputies in the Hall of the Siting*,
in conversation, which was carried on In different
groups formed round the various leaders, of whom M.
Dupin, M.O. Barrett, and UtMauguin were the moat
conspicuous. At two o’£Krk the President took
tha chair, and, the usual funnolitie* having been
complied with, the chamber proceeded to draw lot*
for tho grand deputation to wait main the King on
Wednesday, to congratulate his Majesty nu iho re
currence of hi* anniver«aiy.
After this wa* dune,
M. Dupin ro ouud demanded permission to make
statement tuthe chnmbcrrespecting tho ministerial
abortion of tha proceeding day. [A strong sensa
tion of curiosity and agitation run through the ben-
cho* at the np|iearanre of tho ex-president in tins

action* wliich attended tlie formation iff the cabinet,

nature. The conversations which it was requisite
to hold a* well with friends a* with enemies, the ire
fluence of tho press, rendered the stops which were
necessary to l*« taken toward the formation of a
cabinet, at once significant in themselves and influ
ential on the future career of that ministry Ha
had been accused of having fled from a desirable
ministerial combination. There could bo no doubt
that it was desirable to terminate a rri»i* which w as

S'ailabli- by the enemies of order to raise alarm in
thu minds of the people; lint lie trusted the mo

us minister n| the interior, that peer representing n
class uf opinions in which lie (M. Dupin) hnd nil
sympathy,—He repudiated the title of this or that
party; be, however, had friends, relatives, and
hers, whom it was necussury Cor him to shelter
from tho inconvenience of such a political situa
tion—(laughter and murmurs from the left.) He
(M. Dupin) observed that the second point on
which Ins resistance rested arose from his not utv
cepting the prusidei cy of the council of ministers,
bccaii-u it was lint n real presidency.—In nider tn
make a cabin-1 durable, it wn- necessary that the

asked why be hud tint tn ido this diiiinelioii in lime.

M. DurvitX said Slime winds in the midst nf

M. DttPlN explained that he expected,l-orides,
tha accession of M. Cuidu Gridaiue, and wlu-n lie
learned the refusal iff that hnnornl-1 • deputy—(agi

•blent, instead uf breaking up the combination.
M. Pursuit* again interrupted M. Dupin, nnd
cried from tits place that the nuetiinn nf the presi

M. DltriN nntwered that he hud noted with self-
denial in all lie had done, hut that In- dal nut un

out a president—[long agitation.]
M. Cumin Ghiiuink prepared to *|a-nk,
M. Pursuit* claimed ultontlon, and mounted
the tribune. Tho homiral.ln deputy said that bn
did not rise for tlm purpose nf merely proving llint
all Mr. Diipin's coluague* had acted like grave uml

With respect tn thn nssutnnc ' nf M CnninGri-

TURKEY AND EGYPT.
The Angshurgh (in to tie of the 26th of April pub
lishes n letter from Trieste of the 26th, giving in
telligence from Alexumiriu of thu 6lli. Arconling
to tlw newt received through thi* ci-nnnel, the ns-
pectof affuirs in Syria was darker than ever. Tilt-
rival armies were ready on tlie frontiers to come to
tin engagement at the first sigmd, while the evident
seed* of rov-dt throughout the country were giving
great uneasiness to Ibrahim Pacha, whowa* in vain
doing his utm -st to gain the good will of the chief*
by presents, ami of tin? people by promises of no en
listments fur the future. Tmnnuility, however, np-
peered tn reign in tlie Island ol Canada, which wa*
entirely occupied by Egyptian soldiers, nnd guard
ed. especially upon the coasts nf Sphakia, by Egyp
tian vessels. "It wo* generally supposed in Alex
andria," c-mtinued these communications, "that the
Sultan would yield to the representations oftliu for
eign powers, while Mehomcl Ali, however lie might
uffi-ct a desire for war, would finish by submitting,
well aware that, in his present position with re
spect to England, a fresh war would entail his utter
ruin."
At.K.tAvimu, April7.
The fear* of war, which the armament* of the
Viceroy had excited,are now completely#! annul
The renresentntives of England and Franco have
succeeded in convincing Mehnnet Ali thnt lie would
obtain nothing by having recourse to amis, were
he even to triumph over tlie army of tho Sultan.
Russia has likewise completely changed her lan
guage, although the representative «.f that p wer
did not positively manifest hi* opinion in the last
conference, on tho necessity of maintaining peace.
Meheraet Ali formally promised, that not only
would he not commence hostilities, but that in the
event of an attack on tho part of the Ottoman army,
he would remain as mu*-h as possible upon the de-
f naive. A courier has basa despatched to Ibra
him Pacha writh iastructfon* to that effect.
The conclusion we draw here from these facts is,
that, thank God! peace in Turkey appears tu be se
cured for one year Mr. Campbell has had ano-
ther interview with Mohemet Ali, at which the
passage of English troop* (hr ugh hi* dominions
na ihoir way t-» India wot again agitated. Tho
Viceroy ia said tu have made no difficulty in author-
(ring it. He only stipulated that the men should
be Unarmed, and that tbo officers alone should re
tain their awotds.

THE MALAYS.
The orders which have been issued to nor noval
commanders, to protect American ci-ninn-rceoneve
ry sen, have been obeyod by Commodore Rican, in
his chastisement of tlm treacherous Malays. Mr.
Van Bi-rex's energy on this subject is above all
praise,
The following extract from letters in tho Journal
of Commerce, written on board tho frigate Colum
bia, give somu additional particulars of the punish
ment inflicted on tho piratical Malays of Quullah
Ration and Muk Kce*.
Tho plot for the attack on the ship Eclipse, C'apt.
Wilkins wn* originated that Muk Km-, some 40
miles fromH'i'illnh Ration; and part of thi- pcrs-ui*
whocommiltMl this robbery mid murder lime linen
protected by the Rnjahsof Muk Ken, mid a great
)importimi iff the pro|terty and money liikcn to tliul
place. This therefore, was deemed the principal
offending place. We leurn that the $12,0011 were
dvided out, and some of it was received :tt Duallali
Ration, mid nUn nt Son-Son, a place three nr four
miles from (Jiinllnli Ration; and at linth nf these, ac
cording tn the acknowledgement of tin- Rajah* in
the conversation held with them,some of the pirate*
were residing, on nor arrival tolli'-cnnst. The de
mand for these men having been made, midc-mipli-
being declared tn be im^nssilde, as the men
had e*rn|N-il after our anchorage,—(whicli, howev
er was deemed to In-only mi excuse to render their
refiHal tu comply with the demand an appearance
of a misfortune to ilimn rather than a decision of
their council*,)—nur ships were run in nearer tut he
•Imre at Qnallah Ration, mid the plan- emmonnded,
with somo damage to the town, or rather tn the forts,
ns they wore the objects ut which the shuts were di
rected.
The ships wete then got under weigh, nnd stood
for Muk Kee, w here the demand for the p rates wus
made, without the ex|H-ctntinn of tho ItujalMofthul
place pursuing any course different from the ono u-
dopted by tlm Rujnlis of (juallnli Button Tim de
mand was uiicomplied with, and the consequences,
tn tho proper alternative, (so deemed tu Ik- by nur
comnuMlore, nnd I believe quite unanimously the
sentiment of nil the officers,) followed.
The ships were then hedged in, nenr to the
town nnd Ibrt*—the tow-nlieing situated on a small
|H-iiiiiMi|ii. nnd each side of the point indented by
the lip of a beautiful little hay, with wuter deep
unuiigh for n seventy .four.
No boat making ln-r appearance for mi overture,
up to the time specified u* the limits of forbearance,
the Columbia opened her lire upon n neighboring
f >rl,raking the town ns she chose, quilo the length
ofit. Tho fi-stgim if the Columbia wn* the signiil
fur thu John Admits to let fly her shot; mid lliel oud
roar of her camion reverberated from the innontuin
sides that nearly iuwnlled tlmmigry little ship.
It was on ilia mixeii-top, u l.»..kur on. Tnu ship*

RETIREMENT OF THE SPEAKER.
The Speaker said before tho House proceeded to
the order of the day, 1 must respectfully request
that I mny l*» permitted to nioko a communication
to rite House, uf which it ought to be in possession.
Experience hit* tidinonished me that 1 have no lon
ger the strength to enable me to meet, as I have
heretofore done, the fiitignc and. labor insuperable
front tho discharge uf tho duties of that situation in
which 1 have the honor to be placed. I huve there
fore cone.- to the determination not to resume my
sent in the chair after the recess at Whitsuntide. I
have adopted the course which 1 am now pureuing
because it will uffiml tin- House an opportunity of
deliberating on thu choice of their speaker, and will
ufl'.rdthe least obstruction to the progress of pub
lic business. As I propose to continue in tlie dis
charge of my present duties until Whitsuntide, I trust
that the House will Ih* of opinion that I act with
propriety in now limiting my observations to tho
simple announcement of tho fact of my intended re
signation. (Hear, hear, from both tide* of the
House.)
Lord John Russell then rose nnd said—Sir, I am
sure the whole house would hove heard with great
concern, the announcement you have just made.—
(Hear, hear.) Sir, If I were to consult my own feel
ing, rather than yours, l -hould be disposed to mako
some remarks upon that announcement, blit I am
sure, Sir, thnt I urn consulting your findings when 1
snv that I shall not now enteron the question of the
merits which have been conspicuous in the situation
which you have filled. 1 will only say, therefore,
Sir, thut in leaving the Chair, 1 am turey-u will
carry with you the respect, regard, nnd gratitude of
the House.—(Loud cheers from both sides.)
Sir Robert Peel—Mr. Speaker, as the noble lord
has declared that out iff cutisideratfon to your feel
ing* lie ha* placed a restraint upon the expression
of hit own, I fee! myself almost compelled to follow
tlie example ho has taken. But a* my situation
is not altogether the same with that of tlm noble
lord—as, on your firs* proposal to the chair you had
llie cordial support iff UK* noble lord—und, as it wn
my painful duty, sir, It five my vote tu another can
didate, 1 may, periiap*. U- justified in so far dissen
ting from Un- example of the noble lmd, a* to ofli-r
my nubile testimony to the integrity and impartiality
with which you have discharged your duties in pre
siding over the deldieration* of ibis Houee—(Cheer-
lug,)—and to declare that I think, aet aaly on sc-
count of the discharge uf your duties in tha chair,
hut on account of your perservering efforts toimprore
Uio conduct of priveto business, thereby to raise the
character of the house in the estimation of the coun
try,you are entitled to an expression of public grati

Exchequer Court.—May 6.—The judgment of
the Court in tho above cuse was delivered this morn
ing by tho Lord Chief Baron . After recapitulating
the substance of the return mnde by .Mr. Batchelor,
the gaoler of the Liverpool, he said it had been urged
most ingeniously ut the Bur, thnt thn Legislature of
Upper Cunudu hud no right to pass un Act of Par
liament giving the Lieutenant-Governor power to
grant conditional pardon—llint if it hud it was of no
fotce or eflect out of the province, and therefore no
was bound by it out of the province, nur could
uny one act upon it legally—thut the pardon being
conditional, it was not competent to tile prisoner to
accept it, nr if so that he cuuld recul his assent. The
Court were ul'npinion that it was not necessary for
them to decide tho first points in thnt case. If the
condition wns void so also must hu thu pardon. If
thu condition wu* lawful und tho prisoner had not
nssented to it, then he rould not have the pardon,
but having ussented to the condition, ho could not
revoke it without also revoking tho pnrd n. Thu
situation iff thu prisoner uppeured to be, that he bud
been indicted for high Iren sun, for wliich he had con
fessed bis guilt He wns liabluiobc tried fur the trea
son in England, and lie could not plead thn pardon ;
ho wns in such a situation that any nf her Majesty's
subjects would be aiding and ubetling treason if they
allowed him to goat large. Tho Court were there
fore of opinion that the prisoners ought tu be reman
ded. If they had not nor could not bo lawfully
transported of which the Executive Government
would no doubt be advised, it wuuld be their duty
tu take measures toliuvo the prisoners tried in Eng
land for the treason.
Tho prisoner* were then removed.
Tho triul of the Eurl ofStirling ha* resulted in nn

THE CHARTISTS.
The doing* of the disaffected in various districts
have assumed uu uir of so much importance thut we
give a general summary thereof.
Fir-t we notice n during speech hy the Rev. Mr.
Stephens, whose name we huve so often hud occa
sion to mention in connexion with thu disturbances,
delivered at thu Crown ai d Anchor tavern, hi Lon.
don, nn tho night of thu 4llt, to tin ussumblngo uf
more than 20.10. Wu give- un extract, to show
wbill sort iff man he is, uod wliut he teaches the pco-
ple.
In the snmo newspaper of thi* inornim*, which
contains a proposition un tho part of Ministers to
abolish the constitution of Jamuicu, with thu vi. w
of putting un end to the slavery of the Id.cks, there
is a proclamation by thn Queen, whicli proposes to
abolish thn British constitution, for the purposes of
preventing tlie emancipation of the slaves tit Eng
land. (Trenu-iidous applause.) If tho neoplo of
England had one real representative in tnc House
of Com noas, the first thing ho would do on Mon-
duy (this night) would bo tn rfrctip in his place nnd
move for tho impeucliment iff the Ministers who had
udvisi-d tlu- Queen to put her name to the treasonable
document. (Ifonewcd applause)—and before sit
ting d wn, such representative would move for n
repcul uf the net which prevents the people front
training and drilling.
The place were ttinght to‘light about faro.’ and
In ‘quick march.’ He (Mr. Stephens)believed that
they would find, some of those days, that tln-y had
not been tmiglit these exercises in vain. (Laughter
mid applause.) jfthe police ho thus trained, they
will perhaps find llint the people cun train also.
Thu time will come when the people w ill form the
dciei'iniiinlinn cither to die nr In In- free (Deafen-
ingappluusc.) Thu proclamation Inst night issued
in the Queen's name, instead of being according to
lliu English law, is treason tn the English constitu
tion, It might to kindle a flame of iiuliguatlon in
every breast, und tu mist* every arm, and cause the
p nplo tn come tu the resolution tn sufler ten thou
sand deni Ii* nuher than submit to bo enslaved hy it.
(Loud und long continued applause,) Hu believed
tin- lime wus not fur distant when the dogs of war
which were- now barking would be let loose, and
would not bn satisfied until they have pounced upon
their victims,
Thru the latter will feel disposed tn take w
il'g, hilt it will be too late. (Renewed cheers.)
Much as lie (Mr. Stephens) hated the iden of blood
shed, In- would rather he sent thnt night, thnt hour,
from thnt pi ice, to unfurl tlio standard of war, to
take his station nt the buttle field, stnnd nt the
lion's nimitli, and face ten thousand deaths, ihnu live
the slave of the poor law commissioners. ( Deafen-
iag plaudits, which lusted for some time,) If the
throii -iitid the altar protected nnd supported tho
poor, thou Ii- wuuld support thu throne and the til-
tar; but if they did nut support und protect the
pour, then he would say—‘Down with the throne—
perish the altar.’"
A t Manchester eight chartists have been arrested,
while in the net of drilling, nnd wurrants were issu
ed for the arrest of others. At Llnnidloes.in Wales,
two men w ho had been arrested were rescued by n
mob, whose violence was so gr.nt that troops had
been ordered to the spot; and it was affirmed and
believed that the rioters felt themselves strong e-
tioughto light the soldiers, and would dn it. Tvvn

Sir John Russell has published a letter to hi* con
stituents, (ofStroud.) which attracts much attention.
It is culm, grave, thoughtful and eloquent. The
general tenor ofit is an appeal against agitation—
against efforts for the extension of reform, at least
for the present. "I am j*crsunded," his lordship
soys, " thnt you will not think of lifting the anchors
of the monarchy, while the signs of a storm arc
block in tho horizon."
Ono curious fact is disclosed in this remark
able paper, That the late King resorted to a hold
expedient for carrying the reform bill. Lord John
Russell stntes thnt w hen thu fate nf the bill was very
doubtful in the House of Lords, William thu fourth
wrote to the Duke nf Wellington and some others
of the poors in opposition, requesting them, as a
jK-rsunal favor, to absent themselves from tho house
tu order that it might pass,

RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS.
It will Imj seen that tho long-expected resignation
of tho Melbourne cabinet bus taken place, in con
sequence of a majority of only 5 on a government
meusure in thu House of Commons.
In the House uf Lords on the 7th of May, Lord
Melbourne announced the resignation of all tho
ministers, and it* acceptance by the Queen—in con
sequence »| the vote on tho Jamaica government
bill. The reasons fur this step will he found nt
length in the speech of Lord John Russell, given
below.
Both houses udjourned to Monday.
In the House of Commons Lord John Russell
rose nnd spoke nearly ns follows:—Sir, I wish to
make a communication to the House inconsequence
of what took place last night on tho motion of tho
right lion, baronet opposite, fi.r the rejection of the
bill wliich we introduced to provide for the govern
ment ul .I a maicu. It will lie evident to the House
that that was a hill requiring mure thun ordinary
support, more than ord nury confidence, and that it
met with less support und less confidence than has
been ordinarily shown to ller Majesty's Ministers
by this House.
It lias lii-c->m'-. theref. re, their duty to consider
wh it ought tu Imt heir enurse. with respect to the hilt.

see no reason iu ■.iippnso that the judgment of the

majority no greater tlinu tli.it we had last night, h -
uh|--to send the lull t„ ih" House nf Lur's, nnd

The imports nf tho previous year, ending 30th
September, 1837, amounted to $'140,989,217, and
the exports tn $117,419,376. It will be observed
Unit while the imports of 1037-8. are less by $27,*
000,000, than in 1836-7, tlie exports are less by on
ly $0,1)00.000, more. This looks like getting out
of debt ^ Tho tonnnge of American shipping which
entered in 1837-8, D gronter thnn iu 1836-7, by
3251 tons, while the foreign ti nnage is less by 173,-
593 tons. This, again, is n favorable indication.
1 he actual tonnage nwnrd in the U. States, has in-
creured w ithin tlie year, from 1.896,685 tons, tu
1,994.798; nr 98,113 tons. Rather less tonnage
