Russian students of that University , about 150 h number , have been ordered to return to their country iramediately . It is said that the Emperor Nicholas intends to forbid allhis ' subjects to receive their education in foreign universities . Notwithstanding the immense sums invested by the Russian Government in French , and Enelisb stock , ' a : cording to the fi-. cc / e . " the financial coaditionot the country is far from being satisfactory , fhe districts of Pskon , Smolensk , and Tscberni Kon are a prey to famine ; the government has taken na steps to alleviaie the suffering of the people , and the fifty millions invested in French stock have mZ rise to much censure . This vain display does not impose upon any one . , - ' anon ; 'Amongst the rumours of the mouth is the follow . E ^ SiKicE . avicer ^ theTO ^
The following extract , from a letter in the Sihk contains some -jntensiing particulars of the ambitious and damnable intrigues of Russia for the com . plete destruction of ' the liberties of Wallachia and Moldavia : — ¦ - ¦>• ¦ ¦¦ uu The throhen of Moldavia and AVallachia were siranl taneously occupied by Stourza and Ghika . The former has sacrificed the institutions o ( his country to curry favour from the protecting power , and ' still remains Prince of Moldavia ; the latter , not so deserving , lm » fallen / and been replacsd by Bibetco , a Russian candi . . date . It iB notour intention to point out here the manyillegal acts of which the new prince has been guilty ; all the acts of his administration ure so man / blows aimed at the rights of the , principality . When . Russia occu . pjed ^ he principalities with htr troops , she imposed upoa them the organic law under which they are governed at the present' moment , as a means by which to interfere in tilth ? internal uffairs , and td swallow i-p in- this novel charterithe . much . greater privileges which theiloldn .
vians and VVallachians had obtained by their stipulations with the ; Porte ;; and , in case ; this had . laUed , Russia counted upon the weakness of the . divan to dbtainany firman sbe might stiind in netd of to complete her work of destruction . It was , thnnks to this expedient , that in 1838 she claimed ' the right of . sarictiimhig the legislation « f the principalities ' ; one year afterwards she caused Colonel Canipiunand , the bold champion of his country's liberties , to be cast into prison . . . ! ln . 1842 she dethroned Ghika , and in 1844 sbe authorised' Bibesco to dissolve the chamber until furthtr orders , ' owing to its hnviugre . fused the coneeision of certain mines'to : i Russian company . - >; The convocation of ihb chamber at the close of last yearif to be . attributed to the fuct , that , for this once , Russia had lost , her bearings , not , finding at Con . stantinople a sultan whom , a few years previously , site treated as a child , nor miiiisters open to bribery or to be intimidated by threa < t . . The Sultan has grown up to manhood , and' the statesmen of Turkey are beginning their political education . ¦ Nevertheless , it was not a bad
year for Russia ; -:-- She obtained from Bihesco the flagrant violation of the electoral law , and the suppressioa of the publication . of . the debates in the chamber , and a law is n ow' in preparation to prohibit the youth of Moldavia ' and Wallachia' from studying at any oibertban Uus . Mun universities . ' But lot them beware—if Russia is ¦ 1 st have her way she will not stop' there . Tht * assembling of the . Prussian Diet is , despite of all drawbacks , a , '' great fact" proclaiming the irrevocable severance /)! Prussia from the absolutist alliance with Austria and Russia .
: Ihe most interesting" report" of the past month has been thatof the intended visit of the Autocrat taPa ' ris . r Louis Philippe has long been working to efivc . t a close alliance' with the Tsar , and would hail the . visit of . the Autocrat with delight ; but not so the French people . They have not forgotten or forgiven the Cossack invasion of the French soil , au'd they hold iffthorough detestation the arch-murderer ' of Poland . We have much pleasure in quoting the following remarks from the National , which we believe faithfully represent the feelings of our French brethren .
; The Preue in its correspondence from St . Petersburg , says—that the Emperor of Russia contemplates coming to-Paris this summer . That Hint journal ihould '¦ look on such u journey by the Emperor Nicholas , under existing : circumstances , as being an event of the highest import , ance , one can well understand , since it iB friendly to a Russian alliance . But , Heaven be praised ! its opinion is not that of Prance . We have not bartered our sym . pathies for Poland , or ' biitn strang led with the rentes of theBank of France .- Now , as hitherto , all hearts shudder at the Warsaw murders . The purchase of oblivion of so many crimes committed during the last sixteen years over a conquered nationality , for 50 , 000 , 000 f ., was kurely wot a high price . We do not accept this bargain . The pres-ence of Nicholas at Paris would be an insult to our feeling * ' ' to bur ideas , and if the Tsar were to dare
, to come and face us among 6 t the unfortunates who have been doomed to exile by his despotism ; the chews of a few scattered flatterers would no ; cover the loud voice of public miiledictioH . This would not be the first time of a Russian Emperor being at Paris . The last was called Alexander ' . '' At the period he visited us France was invaded by foreigners . The people remember well tho Cossacks bivouacking'in the Champs Elysees , and the presence of Nicholas , by reviving the recollection . of that fatal period ; would revive the hatred and . honor with which the invadtrs of France will ever inspire us . If the journal , in which we find the article , wished to feel the pulse of public opinion ; h « d sift out the fettling in respect to Nicholas , it may tell its correspondent that France repels all contact with the annihilator of Poland , and Paris would not imitate tha silence of London .
We should add , in justice to , Englishmen , that London was no « altogether "Bilent" on the occasion of the tyrant ' s visit to this country . It thesycophantic roar of base-hearted aristocrats welcomed the despot , the curses of the democracy were ming led , therewith , v'fhe strong bodyguard of police which constantly watched over the safety of the barbarous oppressor , \\ vas significant of the popular opinion towards him . . ' ¦¦ •' We are now threatened with a visit of the eldest son of the Emperor . Be it understood , that it the people of this country were masters , ot the government of this country , no tyrant or tyrant ' s , ; spawi would be allowed to pollute the soil of England . ¦ i Thefirteerith ahniyersa ' ry of the " Literary Associatibh of the Friends of Poland" was held on the 13 th of May . 'in Sussex Chambers . JDuke-street , Lore Dudley Stuart in the chair . The secretary ' s " Report' ! stated , — .. - - - ¦¦ • ; ' ; : .. i .: ¦ ¦> That the total receipts of the year were £ 1 , 467 , the es
penditure £ 9 G 3 , leaving a balance in the hr . nds of the banlier of the Association of ; £ 504 . The report bore tes . tiuiony to the excellent conduct of the refugees . Sevcra ! ofthe refugees filled offices ef high trust under tho Government ind in' public and private . institutions witb honour , and credit , and several had distinguished them , selves by . their literary wovks in this country , amongsi whom was ' Count . Valerian Krasihslti , author ofth < " History of Protestahtisra in ' Poland , " who was ale < about to ' publish a work oh the "History of the Slavonian Nations . " The remainder of the report was chirfj occupied with a lengthened review of the transactions o the three Powers , . with respect to the . incorporation o Poland with . Russia , [ which had received general repro bation in England and in France . '" ' , , held
Theanmversary meeting ot this commit tee , ou the 2 nd- of -April , was reported in the Northern Starrt April 10 th ; aud , subsequently , a pampule was-printed containing the committee ' s " Aimuiu Report , " together with an Address to the people oi Great Britain and Ireland , on the recent discussion * on Polish affairs in the Heuse of Commons , -aoc pamphlet'has been widelydistributed throug h tm UnitedKingdom , and the committee leok forwardwiw confidence to a : censiderable increase of public support , consequent upon its circulation . The t- ransia . tioniof the committee ' s " Address" into the Pol'sl language is encouraging , as showing that tho e " « of the committee are regarded with interest fay the Polish patriots .

FoROEKt . —E . tGarbet , attorney , was 'indicted for fel oniously forging and uttering a bill off-exchange for £ 50 , with intentiito defraud William Sooth . Mr Martin said-he had'been committed by thetLord Chief Justice , at -the'Kingston Spring Asaiees , where he anpeared as a witness for tbe defendant in anaction of
that wasbroo ^ htapoathe bill exchange iaquestion , by a eentlemaa named Blagden , againal ^ Mr Booth , the alleged aeoeptor .

He should not be ! so indecorous , as a single lodge , to overrule the decision of the Lord Chief Jusgee ; but he wished to guard himself against agreeing . with it , ' and 1 if it should be necessary he would fertaniy reserve the point as to the admi < sibility of- the Widence ao obtained . The following evidence was then adduced : —
Mr Grapel , the associate to Lord Denmon at the assizes at Kingston , produced the bill in question , which had been impounded by order of the court : It was a bill of ewhange dated the 21 st February , J 8-16 , at three months , for £ 50 , ' drawn by the prisoner upon , and purporting ! to ; bear the acceptance of , W j iliam Booth , efiFriar ' 8 : Lee ,.

purporting to bear my acceptance ; and afterwards I had a second letter stating that it waB amistakei In Nov . 18461 received a letter from a gentleman named Phillips ; informing me that ! i bill drawn by Garbet , and accepted by me , would fall due on the 25 th ' , 'i and that if it were not paid , the quality of the paper that Garbet was negotiating was of such ' a character , that no lenity would be shown , and that immediate legal proceedings would be taken ; ' and after that day had expired / 1 received a letter from an attorney named Taylor , requiring payment . Upon the receipt of these letters-I consulted with Mr Horton , and by his advice I proceeded to London arid saw the prisoner , who . when I showed him the letter , said this thing is settled . I told him it was riot , and he said it
should be the nextday , and he . then gave me a letter from Mr Taylor : stating that the bill was paid . The prisoner at the same time said he did not wish me to see either of the parties , as it would do him injury if it was known that I was in London . When he produced it he appeared very much affected , and said his liberty was in my hands ; and hoped I would forgive him ; andl told him I would do so if I never heard any more about such things . I was , after this ; served , with a writ upon another bill drawn by Garbet , which writ I sent to him , and an execution against me was also sent down , and Mr Horton paid the sheriff ' s officer forme , arid Humphrey ; one of the prisoner ' s clerks , came down about the matter , arid was present when the money was paid ; My . son
wrote to the prisoner about ; these bills , and the prisoner sent , answer . back , stating that I had never signed any bill for him , or authorized him , to do so , or become surety for him in any manner . On the 19 th of March , 1847 , a ; letter was received from the prisoner . in which he said I was no doubt alarmed at the number of writs I-had received ; that he had appearedfor r ; ein other actions without my knowledge , arid I was liable upon one of- those actions at that time to have execution issued against me , and that he had resolved to come to a stand , and wished me to come to London , and he said ; he would place me in tlie hands of a respectable attorney , who ¦ jyould get redress for me , I immediately came to ' London and saw the prisoner , who told me he could not go on anv
longer , and recommended me to apply to an attorney named Croft , but by the advice of a friend who-accompanied me , 1 engaged £ gentleman named Cooper to defend the action at Kingston , aud to act generally on my behalf . I swear positively that the acceptance tothe billfor £ 50 iiow produced is not my . handwriting , aiid that 1 never gave authority to any person to accept itforme . " The jury did riot deliberate more than a minute , arid then returned a verdict of guilty . The learned judge said be should respite the judgment inorder that the point of Jaw asitothe ' admisslbility of tbe prisoner ' s statement might be submitted to the j consideration of the . judges , and he should give the ! learned eounsel an opportunity of arguing ip before their lordships . : V ... . ..
