This day despatches, dated Bth August, were received at the Colonial-office, from Lieutenant-General DA RUNG, the Governor of New South Wales. Lloyd's Agent at Constantinople has written the following gratifying letter, dated the 10th October : " The Consul-General bas communicated to the trade of this place, that the Ambassador has succeeded in his object of obtaining &mans for British vessels, without the delay to which they have hitherto been so much subjected ; and announced, that, in future, ships will be furnished with that pass on the same day on which the application may be made, and in the same manner as the Russians." Mexican and Buenos Ayres mails have arrived, since the publication of our morning contemporaries. For the intelligence from the latter quarter, we refer to a sub joined communication from the correspondent of the North and South American Coffee-House. The Mexican papers do not contain any news of importance. Sydney Papers, to the Bth of August, are this day re ceived at the North and South American Coffee-House ; by which we learn, that the misfortunes formerly stated as having been felt at Swan River, were by no means greatly exaggerated. Want of provisions, in the first instance, dis tressed the poor emigrants: and being on the eve of the last extremity, those who were possessed of some small means, emigrated to the opposite coast. The arrival of a Hamburgh mail, this morning, has brought a confirmation of the revolution at Warsaw. The date of the last intelligence, by this opportunity, is of the 3d November. The combat in Warsaw had lasted the whole of that night. Prince CONSTANTINE had on his side about nine thousand Russians ; but they had to combat thirty thousand of the inhabitants in the city, bearing arms, of which they had secured early possession, and appear to have used with great effect.- -It is fortunate that the sword wielded in the cause of Liberty, by the arm of the Patriot, whose maxim—to use the energetic language of the Caledonian Tyrteus, is, to " do or die," can do miracles in battle, against the nerveless slaves of tyranny. Prince CONBTAN •rtu a, with his regulars, were at last compelled to retreat. The usual course on such—now common— occurrences, has been taken by the inhabitants of Warsaw. A Provisional Government has been esta blished, which has issued proclamations in the name of the Emperor of RUSSIA, and King of POLAND. This last circumstance chews a spirit of caution and accommo- dation in the insurrectionists, which it is almost dif ficult to reconcile with the presumed object of the in surrection. if the struggle be to the extent of emanciapting Poland, as an independent nation, from its foreign vassa lage, why timidly place in their banners the name of their most guilty and most powerful conqueror This throws a little ambiguity into the character of the event, which detracts in some degree from the enthusiastic sym pathy it is otherwise so certain of calling forth, in the soul of every lover of justice, throughout all Europe. Is it pos sible that the insurrection can have been proximately occa sioned by the misgovernment of that ill-understood personage, CONSTANTIN E ? and only has for object, the improvement of the manner in which the Poles are still to remain under subjugation ? We should apprehend that the Autocrat will find this defection in the loyalty of the Poles, rather ha zardous of consequences, even more perplexing, and quite enough to keep him innoxious to those who are struggling for their freedom, in other parts of Europe. The insurrection which took place at St. Petersburg, soon after the Emperor NICHOLAS reached his throne, must have left some rankling u owl& in the hearts of many. An Emperor of Russia is the slave of military partisans, more than is generally understood;—and we have frequently stated our opinions, that the profitable employment of those by whom, to use metaphorically the strong, Inngliage of our prayers, " he lives, and moves, and hasi a being,"--is essential to the security of his personal authority. No one can predict, the political events of a country in which the organization of so ciety is so imperfectly understood; but other disturbances in the extensive empire of Russia, would not surprise us much, at this juncture. In addition to the intelligence which we have thus gleaned from the foreign papers, received by the mail of this morning, we have to add, that private letters from Holland etate,that the Poles have sent a deputation to the Emperor NICHOLAS, to demand an improvement in the Government of the Vice Royalty. If this is to be supposed the sole object of the insurrection, perhaps it may not prove so ditlicult to reduce. The subject of retrenchment in the Civil department formed the chief topic of discourse in both Houses of Par liament last night. In the House of Lords, some questions were put by Lord OR osv Emort respecting the place of Clerk of the Council ; to which the Marquis of LA N SDO W N E replied, that the appointment in question had been filled at the reduced salary of 1,2001. instead of 2,5001. Other retrench ments aro fixed upon, which are no less gratifying—one in particular, that of the LORD LIEUTENANT of IRELAND, hich is in future to be 20,0001. instead of 30,0001; and the salary of the new CHANCELLOR of IRELAND 13 to be 8,0001. instead of 10,0001. The proceedings in the House of Commons were comprehen sive, and of great public utility. We have given them at more than ordinary length, directing the readers attention to the dis cussions on the West India Colonies ; and the grant moved for by Lord Aur tiouPE. His Lordship placed in a brief and clear point of view, the absolute necessities of his °Aim He said, that perhaps the best mode of rendering himself intelligible would be, to state the supplies that had been voted for the present year, what were the Ways and Means which had been voted, and what remained to be voted. And Bret, as to the supplies voted : ... ... ... 5,397,000 ... ... ... 1,695,000 ... 1,932,000 The amount voted for the Army was... For the Navy ... For the Ordnance And for the Miscellaneous . ... £7,414,000 Total £16,538,000 To these were to be added 750,0001. duty on Exchequer Bills, and 300,0001. on account of the Civil List ; making in the whole a total of 17,682,0001. The Ways and Means provided to meet this oxdenditure he stated as follows : Receipts from the East India Company £OO,OOO Surplus from supplies of last year ... 80,000 Sugar Duty .. 3,000,000 Repayment in Exchequer Bills 18.3,500 From the Consolidated Fund . ... 12,500,000 £15,823,000 There remained, therefore, 1,865,0001. to be voted. At present, however, he called upon the committee to vote 1,850,0001. As to the amount of the supplies for the pre sent year, he did not feel himself called upon to defend them. He now called upon the committoe merely to make up the deficiency that lay over since last Session. The supply required by the CII A N CELLOR of the Excn E. QUER was, of course, granted ; and in a conversational meet ing, the House of Commons prolonged its sitting till one o'clock this =tying. In the course of the debate Lord ALTHOR PE made the following important declaration :—" Thank GOD, the time when the country could be governed by patronage ,was now past. (Loud and continued cheering.) Where the sacrifice of office was the mere sacrifice of patronage, it would be made without the slightest hesitation, and with the most unflinching spirit." (Hear, hear.) The following letter has been received from the agent to the North and South American Coffee-house, dated Buenos Ayres, September 25 :—. " Our prospects become each day more disheartening, and every thing denotes that another struggle between the Fede rals and Unitarians is not far distant. Both parties are pre paring for war, and this, perhaps, may preserve peace : it is, however, a forlorn hope. I have, from time to time, led you to expect this state of things, and the plot thickens every hour. The Governor of Buenos Ayres (Rosas) left Tocou a week ago, for the country districts, in order to superintend in per son the preparations; and in his absence General Juan Ra mon Balcarce has been appointed delegate Governor. The Government, by virtue of extraordinary powers granted to it, by the House of Representatives, has arrested numerous individuals, and ordered others to quit the country. It was said that Admiral Brown was amongst the latter, but this is not tree. Montevideo is crowded with refugees from Buenos Ayres. The government seem determined not to stick at trifles, and indeed it is not a little with which it has to contend. The Unitarian party is irreconcileable, and by assuming that they constitute all the respectability of the land, and goad the poor federals to madness. The latter again wear the device (a red ribband) which they carried during the late civil war, and in the country scarcely a person is to be seen without this badge. General Paz, the Governor of Cordova, is still in that city with his military. All the hopes of the Unitarians centre in his exertions, and they confidently predict that he will shortly advance upon Buenos Ayres • it is furthermo re added, that a convention has been signed by the Unitarian Government of nine provinces of the Interior, conferring upon General Paz the title of Protector of the said pro vinces, and that he is to have full military power, in order to support the system of which he is at the bead, until the republic be organized. The Federal Governments of Buenos Ayres, Santa F 6, Corrientes, and Entrerios, resent this assumption, and ask what freedom of election can be ex pected from a military protector, and the milita r y governors under his control ? It is said that Rosales holds a commission from General Paz, as Protector of nine provinces ; and that he has acted in conjunction with the Unitarian exiles (including General Lavelle), in the territory of Montevideo, who have made pre parations to assist him, and that he has been powerfully as sisted in this city ; a very short time will elucidate this. Colonel Antuna, one of Pas 's officers, has be e n arreste d in the province of hints Fe, and sent to this city under an escort. He was on his return from Monte Video to Cordova. Don Manuel Moreno, who was Minister from this coun try to the Court of London, in 1828, proceeds in the Rey nerd packet to England, in the same capacity.

Extract of a letter from the agent to Lloyd's, dated Constantinople, 13th August:—" The account of the Alexander Anderson, bound to London, affords another instance of the danger of ships laying in this river, during the freshes, with a chain cable. In consequence of the frequent occurrence of mischief, the Company now Intends stipulating that all vessels taking In cargoes on its account, shall be provided with, and use, a hempen or chain cable, during certain months; and if the Underwriters were aware of the extreme rapidity of some of the tidestduring the freshes, we think they would secure themselves by a similar clause in policies."

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. NOT IMOLAI/1M FROM THE RUSSIAN FRONTIERS. Nov. 18. The movements in the Russian army universally excite great atten. tion, and many consider them as indicating serious measures again st France. The Emperor Nicholas, who well understands the spirit of the ag o . will never be guilty of any injustice, but he will be faithful to the en, gagementa inherited from his ancestors, and continue to act in the spi r i t to which Europe is indebted fora long series of years of peace ; th at j s to say, be will strictly watch over the observance of the existing t raat i es, the maintenance of the monarchical principle, and be always ready to prevent any violation at interruption of them. Prom As Alenager des Chatabres, dated Sunday, Dee. It " PARIS, Dze. 11. " The Governor of French Guiana has informed the Minister of AL, rine, by a despatch of the 13th of Oct. last, that the accession of hi. Majesty Louis Philip I. had been proclaimed with enthusiasm at e l . enne on the 9th of that month. The orders relative to the charge of the flag and the cockade were cartied into effect on the 27th of Sept " The Quotidienne, in its number of the Ist of December, ►aid th at the Bishop of Dijon was at Friburg, preaching a crusade against hi, country. The Journal of Dijon affirms that this is a new calumny o • that paper, and that the Bishop of Dijon, who is a friend to the ne w order of things, has not quitted his diocese, where he is loved and r. vercd. Meagre, Fazy and Leclerc, the editor and printer of the joureol La Revolution, who appealed against the sentence condemning the first to six months' imprisonment, and 1,200 francs, fine ; the second to a month's imprisonment, and 300 francs fine, not having appeared t maintain their appeal, the Court confirmed the original sentence. " EXCHANGE OF PARTS. " We see now another contradiction between the effect producedon the funds, and the news which has produced it. In the actual state o: things, the revolution in Poland is an event very fortunate for France, .► it removes, perhaps indefinitely, the intervention of Russia in our Ida: 1., and yet this news, which is now almost official, has produced but a air. mentary rise, and our funds immediately resumed their retrograde trove. ment. The 3 per Cents. fell 35 centimes below the closing price of yes. terday, the 6 per Cents. 55c. and the Ducats 80. " Towards the close of the Exchange a report was spread that Austria had just occupied with a military force the march of Ancona and the fortresses of Piedmont. This news appears to us to need confilmnion.* CHAMBER of PEERS-817.mm or Tom 10TH. The PRESIDENT intimated that the order of the day required the discussion of the project of law upon the national recompences. He therefore wished to know if any Member wished to speak on th e subject. The Marquis de Dazux BREZE claimed the right of r, msrking upon the stis Act. The President submitted the four first articles of the law whit': were adopted without any opposition. The Marquis de BREZE said-1 do not wish to opppose the article which has been submitted to your consideration, but I think it proper ti remark that a great number of soldiers of the Guard were sounded during the three days in July—(marked attention.) lam aware that they Lave been attended to in the hospitals, but, if I am well informed, they have been refused permission to enter the Invalides. Marshal Jourdan—l am not acquainted with the fact of the Minister of War having refused to admit into the Invalides those soldiers who were wounded on the days of July, but I am inclined to think that such is not the case, and, as a proof, I have only to state that all those soldiers who were taken to the hospital of the Invalides received the same site— tion as the inmates of the Asylum. 111. de Dreux Breze—l know more than 50 of my old companions who were proposed for places and crosses, and who have obtained nothing. (To the vote, to the vote.) The Duke de Broglie observed that it would be impossible to C011ti• nue such a digression ; it was not in order to bring forward such accu sations in the absence of these to whom they referred. M. le Comte Meter, the Reporter to the Commission appointed to examine into the project of law for the levy of 80,000 men, spoke to the following effect :—The respect which they had for the rules of ilk Chamber made them refer to a Commission the project of law voted by the other Chamber, and which was presented to them by the Ministe: of War. But where was the Frenchman who could hesitate about adopting it ? • Europe was taking arms, but who was menacing her, and troubling its tranquility ? Not our revolution, for she had recognized it, and, from the first period of their new era, she had several proofs of their moderation and loyalty—(general indications of assent). A nation like France, on its guard, and surrounding its King, is sufficiently strong when it only demands the independence of its neighbours, and peace with all the world--(general approbation). The Duke de Firzzastzs—When the Government applied to us tor the means of defending, in case of need, the independence of our ter ritory, and the honour of the country, it had a right to count, not only upon the sympathy of the Chambers, but likewise upon the concur. fence of the whole French nation. The National Guards.animated frith the true spirit of patriotism, would never allow another invasion of the French territory. But if I look around, if I listen to every discourse, and particularly if I read every thing that is written, I am still more convinced that :he necessity of peace is generally admitted throughout France, and that there is the same unanimity in this respect u there would be in case of war—(signs of dissent.) No, unfortunately no ; and I think that the Government does not fulfil all its duties, in order to attain this very de airable object--the preservation of peue—(hear.) I have not a single corre s p on d ent i n foreign countries, but I have not the slightest doubt in my mind that all the armaments in the North ad the disquietude of the sovereigns of Europe, owe their origin to thoe motives : when they saw the French taking part in the disturbances in Belgium, they had a right to suppose that France. excited as she war by a recent revolution, was the cause of the troubles in the Belgic provinces. Vice-Admiral VERHUZIL —The measure proposed by the Govern ment is the natural and necessary consequence of the political state of Europe; I, therefore, give it my warmest support. The Duke de BROGLIE.— I come forward to the tribune neither to oppose nor to defend this project. illy only ob ject is to submit a few explanations to the Chamba uFoa the speech of the Noble Peer who spoke before the last. I be licve that that Noble Aleniber was mistaken when he stated that the Laws were not executed. With respect to the efforts for puttiugdown sedition in foreign countries, I think Allowance should be made t r what the Government has the power of d ring, and what it ought to do. I again ask if it is possible to mention a single attempt of ibis kind that was not instantly prevented by every possible precaution ? The President of the Council—l do not think that I deserve eh: yr proaches which have been addressed to the Members of the GJVIII. went; on the contrary, I can safely declare that no law was violated without being followed by immediate redress. If some disturbances took place in different parts of France, they were instantly put doc:- The seven articles included in this project of law were 114.1 r..rec 'jetty put and adopted.

Their MAJESTI us having determined on being at the Pa villion on Friday next, a communication to that effect has been received by the housekeeper. The Palace is in a per fect state of readiness, and part of the Household will arrive early in the week. The term of their MAJESTIES' sojourn is not stated, but there is no doubt of its being a lengthened one. The nuptials of Miss FIZCLA RENCE with Lord F.l 'mex n will take place immediately after Christmas, and will be celebrated at the Pavilion ; the lovely bride will be given away by hie MAJESTY. Brighton is at present comparatively empty; their MAJESTIES' visit will attract an influx of fashionable company, as a matter of course. The Princess Ann usra attended Divine Service this forenoon at the Royal Chapel. Her Royal Highness was attended by Miss WYNYARD. The Rev. H. M. WAGNER officiated. The Landgravine of HESSE HOMBERG has not yet left her apartment, although recovered from the ill effects of her late accident. Tranquillity has been perfectly restored throughout all parts of this county. There has been no incendiary act, or disturbance of any kind, for some time. The Queen, accompanied by Prince George of Cambridge, and attended by the Earl of Errol, Colonel F. Lady Augusta, and Miss Fitsclarence, honoured the Soho Bazaar with a visit yesterday. Her Majesty remained upwards of an hour, and went through all the rooms. Viscount ALTIIORP left at half-past four o'clock, in order to attend to his duties in the House of Commons. The Council sat till nearly six o'clock. Prince Tsuavaxx to, the French Ambassador, and Prince ESTERMAZY, the Austrian Ambassador, had inter views with Viscount PALMERSTON yesterday, at the Foreign Office.

A deputation of Gentlemen interested in the trade to the East Indies had an interview with Earl Grey and the Chan cellor of the Exchequer yesterday. Mrs. Fimwilliam is so seriously indisposed that she is not able to leave her bed without assistance. Wallack's indisposition has assumed a serious aspect within the last few days.

SPIRIT OF THE JOURNALS. Cnnowicts.--A good deal of discussion took place in the liaised Commons last night on a very perplexing qucstion—the con-pm...vier! to be given to the owners of slaves in the West Indies, in roe of ,:n.n• cipation. Slavery is not to be justified ; but assuredly the people at England are not in a condition to compensate the owners of slay.s for the loss they might sustain by emancipation. As to free labour. We have always seen great difficulty in combining that object wall a profit to the planter. Nature, in the Torrid Zone, indisposes Mt II to toil day after day, for twelve hours, in the field, under a broiling and she has rendered it unnecessary by enabling him to obtain his sub• sutenee by a few hours' labour in the week. Why should any labowirg man toil as the planter on a sugar estate compels a negro to toil ? The bouring man in Europe toils for food, which the soil yields only to Pa n ! labour, for fuel, for raiment, and 'hater. Under the Tropics, food easily obtained, clothes are requited more for decency than use, fuel zs not required. It is only by connecting colonial cultivation with Ern" sn wants, that se vere labour becomes necessary. The negro would be a fool who toiled, without compulsion, to an extent th a t enabled pro fit to be mad e o f hi s l a b our . No dece pti on p be should be practised, by re uenting the pro fi t of the pl a nt er t o compatible with free labour. No man works except from necessity. This is no jus t ification of fin very; for no m an is justified in holding another in bondage because he has purchased him, or succeeded to one who purch ase d hi m . No man is justified in compelling another to perform labour which he would not perform but under compulsion, because in this way alone can he make a profit of his labour. In short, we consider a slave.owner one who lives in the constant commission of iniquity. But this is a quer" don quite distinct from that of Compensation. Trim.
