We are better supplied with Wheat to-day than for some time past; there area considerable number of buyers present, and laat week's prices are fully supported. The Barley market is very heavy at the last quoted terms, and inclining to be lower. The supply of Oats is very short, and the prices are fully maintained. Beans are rather higher, with a moderate demand. The great importation of Foreign Peas, and the low rate of the duty (2s. per quarter), has caused a reduction of bs. per quarter in White Peas, and a decline in other sorts in proportion.

This afternoon, at four o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held in the Foreign Office, in Downing-street, attended by the LORD CHANCELLOR, Earl GREY, the Marquis of LANSDOWN E, Lord DURHAM, Viscount MELBOURNE, VISCOUTH PA LMERSTON, Viscount GOT:MATCH, the Earl of CARLISLE, Viscount A LTHORP, Mr. C. GRANT, Lord HOLLAND, and the Duke of RICII MOND. Despatches have been this day received by Lord PA L• MERBTON, at the Foreign-office, in Downing-street, from their Excellencies, Lord STUART DE ROTH SA Y, our Am- bassador at l'aris, and Sir CII ARLES BA G OT, our Ambassa dor at the Hague. This day dispatches were received at the Colonial Office, in Downing-street, from Lieutenant-General the Hon. Sir G. L. COLE, Governor of the Cape of Good Hope ; from Lieutenant-General Sir C. CoLvILLE, Governor of the Mauritius; and from the Earl of BaLMOIE, Governor of Jamaica. 1 There are private advices said to be in town to-day from Lisbon, stating that a most extensive conspiracy had been detected there; and that one hundred persons had been arrested. We have a mail from Jamaica, with papers to the 4th of November. The accounts from Carthagena state, that af- 1 faits were assuming a settled aspect in Colombia. BOLIVA I had not been appointed to any civil capacity, but, it ap peared the unanimous feeling, that he ought to have the l supreme command. Much anxiety was felt at Carthagena for intelligence from Rio Hach*, as 900 troops had left Santa Martha on the 14th Sept. for that place. It was not known whether General PAEZ and the Venesueleans would join the general federation or not. The communication, by post, between Carthagena and Bogota, bad been renewed. His Majesty's ship Blossom suffered much sickness at Hon duras; the first lieutenant, a midshipman, and twelve sea men, had fallen victims to the prevailing disease. The House of Assembly at Jamaica bad been called, by procla mation, to meet on the 9th of November. The most prominent article of intelligence this day is, the confirmation of, what we communicated several days ago, a revolutionary movement in the capital of the once indepen lent kingdom of Poland. That such an event, if it should have the probability of proving successful, will afford plea sure to all men of liberal sentiment throughout Europe, eannot admit of doubt ; but u the event can at present only IN viewed, there is too much apprehension of failure on the part of the revolutionists, to admit of any thing like an un mixed satisfaction in perusing the details. Surrounded, as the Polish nation is, by three despotic sovereigns, having at command large armies, it is naturally to be feared, that a union of their forces, directed instantaneously to crush that spirit which would probably intro duce ruin into their own states, could not fail to be suc cessful. The mouse is too much within the claws of its unfbrgiving tyrants, to have a favourable chance, it is to be feared, of an escape. There are, however, not wanting some contingencies which are' not improbable, and which would improve materially the favourable chances of the Poles. To carry on the me taphor which we have just used—the cats have other mice to watch ; and if others break loose simultaneously, perhaps the Messieurs Grimalkin might be a little perplexed. It is hardly possible that all the vigilance of Austria will suc ceed in preventing, at no distant date, a similar /immanent in Italy; and if the train be laid, now is the time.for it to explode with effect. This insurrection at Warsaw forms, in the meanwhile, a favourable diversion for the Belgians; and it is to be expected, that war will again commence between the imprudent King of HOLLAND, and his late subjects. How unfortunate has it been, that the attack on Brussels took place Had the KING pursued an yielding accommodating policy, his own son would, as a constitutional Monarch, have been now seated firmly on the Belgian throne ; and all the existing hazards to the peace of Europe, from that quarter, be re moved. Such mistakes as this, on the part of Governments, are the real misfortunes of this eventful period. A Correspondent, whose letter, by accident, has only corns to our hands this morning, has taken the trouble to send us a copy of the article on Ballot, in the Westminster Review ; and expects us, if we have " honesty and courage sufficient," to " tackle that article," and either acknowledge its truth, er give our strong reasons against it. Now, we hope we shall always have honesty and courage sufficient, to declare our convictions on this, or any other subject ; and, if we had time, we would refer our Correspondent to several put num bers of the STAR, in which he would see we have more than ones " tackled that article." If he favour us with a call, he can consult our file for his satisfaction. He will there find, soon after its publication, that in reviewing the work in which it appeared, we gave what we considered a very careful analysis of the very article, our correspondent so much admires. W. stated, too, our approbation of the logical cogency which it displayed, and have since declared our conviction, that it has incontrovertably proved, that the ballot is the surest mode yet devised, of collecting the unbiassed votes of electors. All this we hare stated ; but we have likewise stated, that we have ob jections to it, as a part of the contemplated measure of Re form, to be proximately expected ; and our reasons for so objecting to it, we have fully stated more than once. We shall not have space here, to recapitulate all we have urged; but a few words will contain our creed on the measure of Reform which we should now expect. What is desirable on this subject—abstractedly considered —should be distinguished from what is desirable as immedi ately practicable, without unconstitutional conflicts. He who places his desires on the immediate adoption of abstract principles of Reform, which can never pass into law. as the Legislature is at present constituted, should bare " honesty and courage enough," to say he wants revolution, or a change in the constituted Government. We consider the latter alternative to be one great object to avert ; therefore, we must modify our present wishes to suit the prac ticability of the present times. By being otherwise actuated, and demanding of our present Ministers more than they can carry, as the term is, we are palpably exerting ourselves to thrust them from their present situations. We admit, however, the public should be scrupulously vigilant to obtain,to the extent of practicability,what will prove an efficient rectification of the existing constitutional corruptions. But in other respects Reformers should be advised to measure their demands, according to the powers to accomplish, without in curring revolutionary disasters. In the next place, as to what we think abstractedly de sirable—Government should be Power deposited in the wisdom of a country. We are of opinion, in a people, who have lately, judging of their opinions as they were numerically exhibited, would have prevented from difference of religion, the equalization of civil rights, has not reached that point of universal intelligence, as to entitle the voice of their numerical majority, to be considered the wisdom of the country. We therefore do not in the present era, wish for universal suffrage, even if purely admi nistered through the ballot. But we consider ballot applied to the electors qualified as at present, would be even worse than ballot with universal suffrage ; and the only circumstances in which the introduction of ballot could be even desirable, at the present moment, if to be obtained, is, if it were ac companied by an equalisation and increase of the existing qualification. That we are persuaded would be a change too disturbing to national tranquillity at present, to be pru dently proposed. We therefore are inclined to be satisfied with such an approximation to what might be our abstract wish, as circumstances may enable us to accomplish,without incurring risks of greater evil. An indication of the intentions of Government, with respect to the transference of the elective franchise, from small boroughs to larger and unrepresented towns, is to be found in the returns moved for by the CUAYCZLLOU of the Exc n LQUZ R in the Hons. of Commons, Saturday night. These returns are calculated to show the population of all cities and boroughs in England sending members to perils rent; the population of all towns in England not sending members to parliament, and containing ten thousand inhabi tants, according to the census of 1821 ; the population of all the cities and boroughs in Scotland returning members to parliament ; and the population of all the towns in Scotland not sending members to parliament, and containing eight thousand inhabitants, according to the census of 1821. Petitions still continue to be presented in Parliament for the Repeal of the Union ; but with one or two exceptions, no Honourable Member agrees with the prayer of such peti tions. The pension abomination, and other items of the Civil List, are undergoing a scrutinising revision ; and much good is likely to be effected, by the proposed retrenchments in this department of the public expenditure. We have Calcutta papers this morning to the 24th Aug. Ensign MAZNIAL, of his MAJESTY', 46th regiment, had shot Capt. LEITH, of the same regiment, in a duel. Than papers contain accounts from Aye, announcing the arrival of Major Butte EY, the British Envoy, and Suite, oa the 24th April. TM Court does not, it appears, male any objection to the permanent residence of a British Envoy at Ava ; but on the contrary expressed an idea of sending a Burmese Am bassador to Calcutta, in fulfilment of the 7th Article of the Yandaboo treaty. Major BuRWEY, however, did not obtain an audience until the 17th June, chiefly in consequence of his illness, and his repeated refusals to remove his shoes, when introduced to the King. He was at last obliged to consent, when an audience was granted, and a number of elephants was then sent for his use. At nine in the morning, the procession commenced. Major BuItNET was carried in his Ton Ton, preceded by four silver sluk bearers, with the portrait of the King of England. His suite followed on elephants, with the presents. The spectators amounted to 20,000 persons. The Major was obliged to wait at the Royal Court House, till the Princes, and great officers had entered the Palace in state, during which time, re freshments were served up in gold utensils. The shoes were then discarded at the steps of the hall of audience, and the envoy and suite were seated immediately in front of the throne. After a few minutes, a rumbling sound, like distant thunder, was heard, when a folding gilt door was thrown open, and the King, most richly attired, made his appearance. He had on a gold crown, and a gold flowered gown, richly beset with jewels. All the courtiers prostrated themselves, and the embassy took off their hats and bowed. The appointed Burmese officer then read aloud the letter from the Governor- General, and a list of the presents. The King inquired after the health of the Governor-General, if the seasons were favourable, and if there were refreshing rains at Calcutta ; to which suitable answers were returned. Shortly after his MAJESTY retired, and the folding doors were closed. Major BURNEY was on good terms with the Ministers, and had been promised a private audience. The correspon dence with Rangoon was uninterrupted. All power is exclusively in the King, not in the Ministers; but his 3'14 IF.ITY, and the people generally, notwithstanding the late war, have no correct notion of the relative power of the two nations. The result was considered a mere accidental failure. The advices from Bombay, in these papers, mention, that some military movements had been necessary, in conse quence of a quarrel between the Rajah of SATTARAH, and certain persons who had urged upon the young RAJAn, and usurped his power. Captain SPARROW, of the Ist cavalry, had been wounded, and several men killed and wounded, under the walls of Utulkota ; and three companies of the second Grenadiers had been ordered to march. By an an nouncement on the Exchange of Calcutta, it appears that the Company have given up the privilege of being the sole growers of Opium in central India, preparatory, it was in ferred, to their abandoning it throughout the country. We bare Cape of Good Hope Papers to the 16th of Oc tober inclusive. Considerable ferment bad been caused at the Mauritius, by a report, that instructions had been re ceived from his MAJESTY'S Government at home; directing that all slaves imported since 1814 should be manumitted. It is added, that several of the capitalists had, in conse quence, refused to advance money to planters. It is said, the French Embassy sent to the Queen of MADAGASCAR had failed in its object, the QUEEN having resolved not to cede any portion of her territory. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE-EXCLUSIYE. PARIS, Dsc. 11. Sin—From whatever quarter of the compass the wind reaches us, it seems to bear upon its wings intelligence of the spread of liberty. Scarcely a courier arrives, but brings in his mail some information highly gratifying to the friends of freedom. The sacred flame has at length burst into a blaze in Poland ; and from a general view of the intelligence we are yet in possession of, I am led to believe that it is not a partial revolt against the Government of Constantine, but that its ulterior objects are, the re-establishment of the inde pendence of that ill-fated kingdom, whose dismemberment, and the apathy with which it was regarded, was a lasting stigma on the Governments of Europe. This demonstration of popular feeling, appears to have been commenced by the youths of the military school at Warsaw ; who, to the amount of five hundred, were immediately joined by the Polish troops, and the population of that city. In the combat which ensued, four Russian Generals have perished. Potoeki, who commanded the infantry, and an Aide-de-Camp of Con stantine, have shared the same fate, as well as the Minister at War, General Hanks, by birth a German, and who has long been an object of detestation to the people. The Grand Duke has retired into Prague, a fauxbourg on the right bank of the Vistula, celebrated for its destruction by Suwarroff, " when Freedom shrieked, as Kosciusko fell." The Grand Duke has only his guard, namely, two Rus sian and one Polish regiments ; of the fidelity of this last, great doubts are entertained. A bridge of boats forms the only communication between Warsaw and Prague, and the Vistula is there of very considerable breadth. The Austrian army, in 1809, although in possession of Prague, could not make themselves masters of Warsaw. Although at present it seems very probable, that the overwhelming power of Rus in, may nip in its bud, this incipient revolution, yet the ad vocates of liberal opinions must hail this movement, as an event of importance. A provisional government has been established, and the parties appointed are names of such weight and consequence, that I cannot suppose they would permit themselves to be compromised in a new insurrection. The names of Cnrtoryski and Ratisival, descended from the ancient Kings of that hapless country, are familiar to every 'reader of Polish history. Count Lubeski, appointed to the Finances, and Klopiski as commander of the Forces, are names well known in Europe for the last twenty years. —Thom men would not incur the vengeance of a semi-barbarous government, and risk the horrors of the scaffold and Siberia, did they not see some probability of success ; and aware that a failure would rivet their chains. I cannot but surmise that they have reason to hope, that the rising will be generally followed by all those who have so long groaned under the Muscovite yoke. Aa it regards Fromm, it is ea event of vital hope:tame. reeding to the ■dad of the Emperor, that be has enough to do at home, old that the march of the amble will be the signal, et which the deg of freedom will be hoisted. The other continental powers will doubtless benefit by this les.ou afforded to their leader. With Poland in a flame, sad th e cholera-morbus raging at Moscow, he is sufficiently occ u pi ed without attending to the affairs of his neighbours. I nee d not assure you, that the Polish insurgents have many well. wishers inParis.Her troops formed at one period an essential, part of the Imperial Army; and the name of Pox tavowees, who perished at the battle of Leipsic, is held in the m ost honourable remembrance. The principle of non. interference, by which France is at present lu t ppik. governed,will prevent any open assistance ; but many volunteers will aid their brethren in the struggle. The republica n party would, if they had the power, fraternize with the Belgians and the Poles, and make common cause with any , nation, attempting to burst their shackles. Howeve r we may admire this generous, this enthusiastic spirit, which it i 3 difficult to repress, experience shows that such a line of policy would light the torch of war throughout the civilized world. The march of mind will eventually break the bonds of every nation, that now submits to such ignoble fetters : but aU are not equally ripe for the extension of the common privileges of their nature. The cumbrous scaffolding, Which for so many ages has accumulated and overshadowed the bright proportions of freedom's temple, will gradually be removed ; and the glorious fabric will be revealed to the assembled world, who will demand with astonishment, how their ancestors could have permitted a structure so simply beautiful to be hidden from their eight. The Carlists and Jesuits have for some time past taken up a position at Fribourg, in Switzerland, where they published a journal, for the purpose of conveying it into France. An explosion has taken place there also. The gallant Swiss peasantry have driven them from the town, and de stroyed their presses. The transmission of the Ministers took place yesterday morning without any tumult whatever. I am concerned to add, that death has deprived us of Ben jamin Constant, whose funeral is fixed for to-morrow. I am, Sir, &c. J. H. CITY, ONE OTLOCL The information in our City article of Friday last, of a revolution at 'Warsaw, and that Prince Constantine had been obliged to leave Warsaw, is fully confirmed this morning, and in consequence of which the funds have lowered ; Con sols which left off on Saturday at 82 ii for the account, opened this morning at 82i—at present they are 82ii, with little doing. It is much feared that the Poles will not be able to maintain their independence, and that a great deal of blood wiU flow in that unfortunate country. In the Foreign Market, Russian Bonds have ' again lowered about two or three per cent. owing to the re volution in Poland : they are now 89 to 90. v al'oo 1., DEC. 11.—The imports of Cotton this week are 2,078 bags, and the sales are 9,740 bags, at a decline of one-eighth of a penny per lb. In Sugar, 850 hhds. B.P. Sugar have been sold this week at rather lower rates. CITT. TWO; O'CLOCK. Consols have remained steady most part of the morning at 82j for the account. The speculators and jobbers are waiting for further details of the Polish insurrection. In the foreign market there has been a re-action in the Russian Stock, for they have been done from 87 to 89, at present they are 89 to 90. By the private letters from Paris this morning, great fear is entertained there that some disturbances will take place in the above capital during the trials of the ex-Ministers; to prevent which, measures are being taken by the Government. Money is becoming very scarce in Paris, and the people who can obtain gold are hoarding it up. Calads AT FOUR O'CLOCK. India Stock, India Bonds 10 12 South Sea Stock Old Annuities £lOOO Rich.

The Earl of A azaciavets w T has also given notice of his intention to employ any labourers of good character, be longing, of course, to Frant, for the ensuing winter, who may need work. Yesterday morning, their Majesties and the Duchess of Cumberland, attended by Lady Sophia Lennox and a numer ous assemblage of the nobility, attended divine service at the Chapel Royal, and heard a sermon by the Reverend Mr. Banks, from the I lth chapter of St. Matthew, and the .sth and 6th verses. The communion service was read by the Sub-Dean. The same gentlemen of the choir were in at tendance as on last Sunday. The anthem was, "The Loan is King," composed by Dr. Arnold, and sung by Mews .
