The latter deny the legality ; the former asserts it , and will insist on the Government appealing to a tribunal . nominated by the Cortes , in accordance with a law passed in 1822 . Senor Battles contends that the ecclesiastical cen sure is only valid against comments or writings on the Scriptures . The question has been raised by Mr .

It is said that Prince Ghika is greatly dissatisfied with the resolutions for the reform of the Principalities which have been . arrived at in the Constantinople Conferences .

    OUE OIVILISATION . THE HAGS OF BEI . GITJM AND THEIR ENGLISH VICTIMS . Some investigations recently made at the Mansionhouse exhibit the too often successful working of an iniquitous system of seduction . A few weeks ago , Susannah 3 Lvans ( a yoiing woman about sixteen years of age ) and a female acquaintance were met at the corner of Fenohurch-street by a Belgian Jewess , who appeared to be known to the latter , and who , in a very friendly manner , asked them to go tneni

    with her to see two or three young girls like - selves , who resided in Lambert-street , Lemaia-street , Goodman ' s-fields . They consented , and accompanied tlao -iroaon in a cab to a hotise where they were introduced to two young women in a room on the second floor . The appearance of the place and of the ¦ women was not satisfactory to Susannah Evans , who expressed much anxiety to get away , but was prevailed upon by the Belgian Jewess to stay to dinner , -while the new acquaintances informed her that they ¦ were going next day to Hamburg to get into splendid situations , in which , they would be enabled , to live in high style , wear gold -watches and other jewelry , and supply their parents with the luxuries as well as the necessaries of life . The girl Evans was desirous to

    return home , but was at last prevailed upon to go to bed after having in vain attempted to leave . In the morning , at an early hour , there Was a bustle in the houBe , and she was hurried off in a cab with the two girls to w hom she had been newly introduced , and was taken on board a steamer which lay near St . Catherine ' s-wharf . These facts were communicated by her companion , wlo contrived to escape , fund , application having been made at the Mansion-house for assistance , the fact of the abduction was telegraphed to Hamburg , with directions to tho polioe thoro to detain the girl . Two English detective officors wore then despatched to the destination of the Belgian Jewess , and , after much trouble , the girl was rescued , But tho Belgian was determined to make evory effort to secure her prey , notwithstanding the interposition of the polioe ; and she had actually assured tho officials that tne young woman had accompanied her from

    England under a regular engagement to rooeive tuo visits of gentlemen . Furthorndore , she charged tho poor girl with having robbed her parents of £ 5 , and referred to a letter found in her pocket , but Mot at all liable to any construction of the kind as oyiclonoo of her dishonesty . Tho young woman oomplainod muali oi the attempts of a person who , was told , was the doctor appointed to examine all tho fresh , fomalo arrivals , under engagements to $ 10 Jewess 1 y whom eho had been forced on board . The doteotive offloors brought tho matter before tho attention of tho English consul , Colonel Hodgos , who said he was awaro of tho existence ) of tho system , but thought tho only raoarm

    to prevent it would bo to memorialise Lord Clarendon for hia immediate interference .
