LONDON. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20. At the early hour of eleven o'clock this morning, the members of the Cabinet Council assembled at the Foreign Office in Downing-street; butimmediately adjourned to the official office of the Prime Minister, out of compliment to Lord HOLLAND, who left his sick room, and came on crutches to attend the Meeting ; but was inca pable, from debility, of clambering up the steps of the Foreign Office. The Council thus continued in de liberation till one o'clock, when they went to attend the Levee at St. James's; it is supposed to lay before the KINo, the result of their deliberations, in consequence of the division in the House of Commons on the Reform Bill. EXPRESS OM PARIS. ANOTHER VICTORY OVER THE RUSSIANS. We have received, by Express, Le Temps of the day before yesterday, which mentions the report of another bril liant Victory achieved by the Poles over the Russians, which gained credit in Paris, being supported by private letters, the purport of which may be thus condensed : This battle is said to have taken place on the 6th in stant, near Zelichow, on the Skladow —a branch of the river Weiprz—at which place, it appears, the Russians manifested a disposition to concentrate their forces. Be fore this could be accomplished, they were attacked by the determined Poles ; and sustained a loss, by this account, of twelve thousand men, in killed, wounded, and prisoners, with from thirty to forty pieces of cannon. It is added, that Marshal Dr EBITSCH narrowly escaped being made pri soner; when finding further resistance unequal to the tact and spirit of his brave opponents, be called together his corps d'arnae, and retreated over the river Bug intoVnlhynia. Partly in confirmation of this gratifying intelligence, we find the Warsaw Courier announcing, that on the sth of April, it was understood in that capital, that the Polish troops already occupied the environs of Zelichow ; and that in retreating, it seemed to be the intention of the discomfitted Russians to fix their head-quarters at Ryki; but in the event of this last victory being so de cisive, DI EBITSCH will be compelled to retreat to the Rus sian frontier, for the purpose of reorganising his now routed army..—The Warsaw Courier, adds to its other intelligence, that a corps of two hundred and fifty Saxon volunteers, had been embodied in that city. It is in corroboration, in some degree, of this victory, that the last accounts from Poland brought down the intelligence to the sth ; when it was stated, in the Courier of Warsaw, that a great battle was hourly expected. The Konigsberg Journal has the following passage from Samogitia " The Russian imperial garrison has evacuated Polangen, on the night of the sth and 6th, to proceed to the Prussian frontiers ; and all the line of frontier on the side of Georgen berg, is occupied by the insurgents, who seem determined to exterminate the Russians." By the Allegemeine Zeitung received this day, we find that the Pacha MusTAPHA of Scutari, still urges a revolt against the OTTOMAN PORTE. The subjoined is a brief account of his address on this occasion : -- SCUTARI, March I.—(Fran the Silesian Gazelle )—A few days ago, Mustapha Puha summoned all the principal inhabitants of our city, to ask their opinion respecting the decision to be taken, in consequence of the hostilities commenced by the Grand Vizier. He received a very numerous assembly, with a long speech, in which he said in substance what follows : " The Grand Vi zi er, as lam positively informed, is resolved upon entire submission; and by threats and false promises, he has already succeeded in getting into his power, the towns of F.lbassan, Tirana, Cavaglia, Durazzo, Chroia, and Ochrida. I have now called you together, in order to lay the state of affairs before you ; and to learn whether you prefer submitting to the galling yoke of the Porte, which has now become more and more oppressive, than ever, in consequence of the new military system of tares ?s or whether you will defend your liberties. lam ready to spill my last drop of blood for them ; and if your sentiments correspond, we have nothing to fear from the Grand Vizier, whose whole force does not ex ceed 18,000 men. My Son, with 8,000 men of the tribe of the Mad. gam, is ready for action at Libra. Bosnia, the Lordship of Jakovo, Pesreni, and part of Sere's, have promised me their support. From my subjects, I shall require one man from each house; and so I think that I may answer far the success, and shall take the field four days after the festival of &km." This speech was several times interrupted by marks of approbation, and all our people, young and old, have been preparing for the combat. Meantime, we have heard that the above mentioned towns are occu. pied by only a small part of the Grand Vizier's army ; and he himself, according to the latest accounts, is still at Gloria, with 10,000 men. NUILEMBURG, Await. 12.—1 t is said that the property of Duke Charles of Brunswick has been sequestrated, at the instance of the States of the Duchy, by the district tribunals.—Nurembesrp Correspondent, April 12. • Hitherto we have paid no direct taxes, and our men are liable to tnilitary service in time of war. (Note of the writer.)—Allgaissits Zeitung, April 13. The faction of the boroughniongers die hard. The bill in inciple being adopted, the next resource was to contest the details. The tactics were to assail points of secondary Importance, about which there would be differences of opinion among the friends of the measure; while, whatever the question, the faction itself were a phalanx. Accordingly General GA6COTAZ moved a measure of de tail, not affecting the principle, but the arithmetic of the Bill—that the number of Members for England and Wales should not be diminished in the Committee. The amended Bill proposed to reduce them about 40 ; and by adding to the Scotch and Irish, to reduce the whole House 21. The object then was, by a side-wind, to embarrass the measure, to render new details necessary ; and to take the chance of depriving Ministers of that ascendancy, without which the measure cannot be satisfactorily carried through its legisla tive steps. Whether the house consist of 658 members, or of 637, or 596, is, we believe, perfectly immaterial to the people, provided the rotten boroughs are destroyed, and their mem bers returned by large towns ; and, therefore, as not affect ing this fundamental object, a decision that it shall still con sist of 658 as before, is of no ultimate importance, bat only as a decision against the plans of the authors, affects the spirit with which they may proceed; and gives dangerous hopes to the enemies of the principle of the Bill. In this sense, and this only, we lament that 299 were bound to vote in favour of General GAscov 14 a's motion, and only 291 against it ; though Ministers allied their ulterior proceedings in the Bill, with their successful opposition to the motion. Some traitors displayed themseltes in the progress of the debate, and the enemies of the Bill combined all their objec tions to its principles with their arguments on the particular question, so as to ally the general opposition with their sup port of a special point : henco Ministers treated the discus sion as vital, which as logicians they were bound to do; but after the division, Lord ALTHORP pro forma moved for - the commitment on Thurseay ; and if feeling do not govern the friends of the Bill, it may yet proceed as though no such de cision had taken place. Of course, the division was treated by the Borough Fac tion as a victory, but being so, only in its effect on Minis ters, there was little exultation; while the chief cause of regret, on the other side, was founded on disappointed patriotism, and on the disappointment and indignation which will be felt by a whole nation. Calm ob servers saw nothing in the decision, if Ministers be firm, and if Ministers do not know more of secret cabals, than is yet known to the public. More was felt than ought to be felt ; for there is nothing in the Bill going to a Committee fettered by this instruction, if the ori ginal friends of the measure be firm and steady ; but if there be an influence at work which must be nameless, then Mi nisters have no alternative but to resign. If, on the other hand, the opposition be of impracticable power for the working of a committee, and every point is thereby in jeopardy, DISSOLUTION is the resort, provided the Constitutional authority be in their personal controul. But if they have not influence to dissolve the House, RESIGNATION le inevitable. We hope, however, that the causes for either are unne cessary, and that it is only on a point in which dif• ferences might be justified, or in which imperfect reason ing has deluded many members. It is not, indeed, to be concealed, that the Ministers, seriatim, declared that the vote would be decisive of the fate of the bill; though such assertions may have been made to keep their friends together. If it have the effect of adding to the repre sentation of populous places, supposing the bill can be carried, the public will not regret the vote; nor need the addition to Ireland and Scotland be withheld; for if 658 are not too many, 668 may be borne with. In fine, if there be a DISSOLUTION, the people will do their duty; but if the Ministers resign, and it is proposed to govern without efficient Reform, the duties of the people can be better explained by themselves than safely by us. In the Loans, Mr. Lawson, the Printer of the Times, was committed to the custody of the Usher of the Black Rod. The Civil List Bill led to a debate, in which the Duke of WELLINGTON justified d/ former grant by the present. In both Houses, the Northampton Petition, and its pro test, noticed in our panorama, were severally presented. The debate on the reform bill in the Commons was com menced by Mr. BULWER, wbo stated that the bill was only unpopular with republicans, who hoped it might be rejected, and a more sweeping change effected. Mr. Jour; CAMPBELL spoke on the same side, and said, he did not consider the motion of paramount importance ; for if carried, the bill would yet pass, but it tended to hamper the committee and the measure. Mr. FARE spoke with vehemence against the bill as a visionary scheme, and said it was founded on corruption and traffic, and in support of the basest passions. He ascribed the improvements of the country to the borough system, which had mortgaged all the property of the country and its industry for generations unborn. Mr. WILBRAHAM gave his hearty support to the original measure, which he said would send away 160 drones, and give us 115 working bees in their stead. Mr. CHARLES DOUGLAS objected in tolo to the Bill. Mr. HAWKINS, in a clear and argumentative manner, justified the Bill, and said he considered this as the first of a series of measures, to defeat, if possible, the Disfranchise ment of the Boroughs. It is impossible to follow him in this sketch; but it was one of the best speeches made in sup port of the Bill, and was received and concluded amidst con tinued cheers. Sir GEORGE WARRENDER, in complimenting Mr. HAWKINs, said, that as a borough member, he was the best proof of the value of the borough system. He opposed the Bill, but he should vote against the motion of General GASCOYN E. Mr. WYNN complimented Mr RAWLINS, and replied to some points in his speech, maintaining that he had heard no arguments in proof of the necessity of the changes proposed. Sir G CLERIC and Sir JOHN MALCOLM opposed the Bill and supported the motion. Sir ROBERT WlLsow made a new, and to some, a very surprising exposition of his real opinions. He thought the number of representatives ought not to be diminished. He had promised General GASCOY E his support. He charged the ministers with vacillation. He considered potwalloping boroughs as most useful. And, in fine, be would maintain his opinions, even though his constituents required him to give up his seat. Mr. STANLEY replied with great ability to Sir R. WIL SON, and showed that he was at the same time intriguing with General GASCOYNE, and also obtaining confidential admissions from Ministers. He affected to treat a motion as light and indifferent, which was palpably brought forward to ember''s Ministers, and defeat the measure. He then took a comprehensive view of the Bill in its various bearings, and sat down declaring that the vote of that night would de cide the further progress of the Bill. Mr. J. MURRAY opposed the bill, and Mr. BEaw•L defended it. Mr. NORTH had foretold that it never would pass. He objected to the dull uniformity of the proposed constituency. He objected to any increase in the ascendancy of Catholic Ireland. Mr. O'Cos s ELL, at great length, and with much energy, defended Ireland and the Catholics. He considered the amendment as directed at Ireland ; but it was a base calumny to refuse five additional Members to Ireland, on the pre tence that Catholics would not elect a Protestant of supe riour pretensions. Mr. HUNT vindicated his own consistency in regard to the ballot, universal suffrage, and corn laws; and declared, that though the measure did not go far enough, he should give his humble support to Ministers. Sir R. PEEL then spoke at length in opposition to the Bill generally, and in support of General GASCOYNE'S motion. bir JAMES GRAHAM replied with his usual ability—ln r.icipating that the vote would or ought to decide the fate of the bill, and the existence of the ministry. Mr. MUNDA Y voted for the motion, though a friend to the bill. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, at three o'clock, addressed an impatient House, but with his usual eloquence, and de clared that the vote would be decisive of the Question of Reform. Lord Jour; RUSSELL concluded the debate by a re capitulation of arguments, and intreated all who were friendly to the measure, to vote with him, and his friends. The division was 299 for General GAscoY NE's instruc tion, and 291 for the original bill. Lord ALTHORP then moved that the bill should be committed on Thursday, which was agreed to ; and the House adjourned at Ft V E O'CLOCK. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.-EICLUSIVE. FOR THE STAR. POLAND. We give to our readers this day a letter from Warsaw, written by a Polish lady. Although not intended for publi cation, and containing but little of military details, we be lieve that it will be read with interest. It draws a touching picture of the state of Warsaw during the late events ; and it contains pious and elevated sentiments, which must, it ap pears to us, move all hearts:— WARSAW, APRIL Ist, 1831. profit by a moment of calm, my dear friend, to thank you for the gift which you have made to my poor country. I should have done it sooner, but the days of the 18th, of the 20th, and the 25th, almost crushed me. I have need to communicate to you, and since I have so much to write to give news of our combatants. Happy that I have bur one misfortune to announce to you—it is the death of poor Louis. He perished a hero, a martyr to the good cause. Victim of his courage, twice wounded, It* would not quit the battle • at last a third ball levelled him with the ground ; and, at th e moment when his companions ware carrying him off the field, a bullet decided his fate.— Joseph was grievously wounded. We found that he would lose an eye. He is already in a state to retake service. All your other acquaintances are well. I would speak to you a little of myself, my good friend. You will wonder how I supported the discharges of artillery which shook the houses ; in seeing the Bash of each cannon—in thinking that the Name instant some person dear to me perhaps existed no more—iu seeing pass the numbers of wounded—believe me, there are positions which are above human force ; GOD alone can give force to support them. Our losses are small, and our wounded recover in a man ner so miraculously, that we cannot doubt but GOD protects us. Many of our wounded have returned to their regiments. Warsaw at this moment offers a most touching spectacle.— If you would see piety, charity, bravery, and union, you must come here to see it. The churches are filled. Our brave soldiers have just supplicated from GOD, at the foot of the altars, the liberty of their country ; and confident in his goodness, they will face, without fear, an enemy so re doubtable. The women, on quitting the churches, go to the hospi tale ; like true sisters, they take care of the sick ; I know some who, from seven o'clock in the morning until seven at night, do not quit the wounded. Others work in making shirts, arranging bandages, sending soups and food. The linen which has arrived from the provinces is considerable ; and the quantity of lint is so great, that we do not require to receive more. The wounded' Russians are mixed with ours ; no difference in the care which they receive ; every unfortunate is our brother ; ho is , an enemy but upon the field of battle. In fact, with you, I my good friend, I may lay reserve aside—l may tell you that never was seen similar devotion ; never more lively patriotism. May Heaven bless our efforts ! All the Poles of the Grand Duchy of Posen, in spite of the threats of confis cating their lands are here. Only sons, fathers of families, all runtb arms; they have formed a regiment. Those who bare served are officers ; the others are soldiers. The squadron which will be commanded by Casimir was not yet formed, to take part in the other combats. It is ready to depart.— I tremble for the welfare of every one at the next battle. Our army is stronger than it has been, and new regiments are organising. The Abbe of Mennais, in his Journal, speaks of us with much warmth and interest. We are ex tremely touched, and we expect much from his piety; we have need of it ; we are so unfortunate ! General Lafayette has acquired the eternal rights of our gratitude.—Adieu, my good friend. Offer up wishes for us, and GOD guard your health.* THERESE P—. PRICK OF STOCKS AT FOUR O'CLOCK. pet Ct.

The troops in Romagna and the legations will not leave them till the middle of May, and then the Pope will take 12,000 of them into his service. In the several states subjected by the Aus trian bayonets, 2,000 persons have been arrested : for want of prisons the convents are used as such."—Paris. Awcox A, March 29.—The Austrian troops arrived this morning in Ancona. They have already taken possession of the military poets, and disarmed the Pope's soldiers, who, after deserting, were again wearing the cockade of their le gitimate sovereign. The imperial and royal troops have been received with the greatest exultation by the whole po pulation ; the arms of the pontificate have been replaced : indescribable is the joy with which these are hailed by whom ,soerer they chance to be seen. The party of rebels wl.ich had been zepulsed by the liberating hives was yesterday disbanded in the Luarrtto, with ail possible order. I brave Marshal Baron Gepi:eit exi.ected every m ment.

Timis--Our printer was brought before the Bowie of L els 'r.t night, on account of the article in this journal of the IG.h Inst. in which Lord Limerick was spoken of in a manner which provoked Ire cots - plaint. As soon u the question of privilege was touched by t! • house, strangers were obliged to withdraw, so that we have no acts u t to offer of the proceedings but such as was gathered in desultory cos.ver; sations after the house was up. Lord Limerick having mad- his e.n.. plaint, left the matter wholly to the Mouse. Mr. Lawson lxi .n called, was asked if be was the printer of the Times, and, t f Ts., answered in the affirmative. Did he write the article in quo im. ?-- No.—Who did write it ? The answer to this was obvious a he w a confidential agent, and wtuld not betray the confidence %limb was e posed in him.—Was not such a gentleman the Editor of 's h* Times There was the same objection to answer this question as the 1.4- mer. Mr. Lawson was ordered to retire. When the 'eject was resumed, Lord Wynford proposed that the Printer should be BO). jtcted to a fine of One Hundred Pound, and committed to 'nil. u. This was opposed by the Lords Lansdowne and Grey. he Lord Chancellor, and (we understand) the Duke of We:- , lington t and Mr. Lawson, on the motion of Lord Farnham. ass finally ordered into the custody of the Usher of the Black Rod. Now, certainly, we bare not the slightest objection to any part of this pro ceeding, so far as we are the passive objects of it. We are content. And now, also, that the issue is certain, we will frankly acknosl.dc.e our regret that the observ at i ons a pp e ared in offensive and intrrn cc terms : but for this we must plead the excuse which our printer pleaded at the bar—the dicraction of our attention by a variety of important objects. and the hurry of composition. POST.---HAPPY EVENT—Tag Constrroxsow SAVED! —Most cordially do we congratulate the true friends of England on the triumph of the good cause, in the signal defeat of Minisurs on the first particular question arising out of the atrocious Reform Bill. The debate up. o General Gascoyne's motion, that the present number of members for England and Wales should not be diminished, was last night resumed, and continued till half-past four o'clock this morning, when the house divided, and the numbers were—For the Motion, 298; Against it, 291: Majority agaittet Ministers, 8 ! The fate of the Revolutionary Bill may thus be deemed virtually decided. We cannot indeed 'es bow so monstrous a measure can be any longer entertained ; and tot the credit of Parliament, therefore, we rejcice in the cheering propect now Defoe* us. The credit of Parliament we have all along considered, was imminently at stake in the result of this momentous qtrestino ; for it is impossible that the success of so outrageous a project could be attributed by the country, to any thing short of a palpable betrayal of trust, on the part of its Representatives— as Junius well observes, it is not an act of open violence done by the Ministry that can ever en danger the liberties of this country ;—we can never be really in danger until Parliament itself betrays its trust, by contributing to establish now principles of Government, and employing the very weapons corn. mined to it by the collective body—to stab the Constitution !—The firmness and patriotism of Parliament has rejected a measure tending to Revolution ; and the sober judgment and good sense of the country will confirm and ratify that happy decision. HERALD of yesterday.—The case of Ellis, who was to have died on a public scaffold this morning for hoisoottowaking, but who was on Saturday respited, in consequence of convincing evidence being adduerd of his innocence of the crime, for which he was about to un dergo the extreme sentence of the law, is another instance to be added to many en record of the fallibility of human judgment, where the awful question of life or death is to be solved by the decision. Relative to the case of this person, the following paragraph was published on Saturday : Seven or eight persons attended at the Guildhall Justice-room yes terday, to swear exculpatory affidavits in favour of Ellis, who is or dered for execution , . Mr. Alderman Copeland, after making some inquiries, said he was at all times unwilling to refuse .to go a little beyond the routine of his duty, where the object was to benefit a fellow. creature ; but he must refuse to do so in this instance, foe he saw other reasons besides that; the committing magisuate, and other county I magistr ates , had refused to allow than to be sworn.—Application fu If the reason which Alderman Copeland is alleged to have given, for not allowing the affidavits to be sworn had been acted upon by all other Magisterial and Judicial Authorities, there could be no affida vits in the case laid before the Secretary of State for the Home Depart mem, and who would not think it his duty to attend to unworn state. !EMU of facts. The consequence would have been that the law would have taken its course—the uhfortunac: man would have been executed —and before he was cold in his grave his innocence would have been made known by the publication of documents, and a barren commiseration is all that would have followed an irreparable wrong I Notwithstanding the refuel of the worthy Alderman to swear the peaces making the exenkpotoey h er the that the esonnitting Magistrate sad some etltriitd.stred dined to swear them, it appears that some penes, clothed la ahnilar withority, did not think himself justified en such a ground to bar all access to the seat of mercy, while so many Individuals presented them selves, prepared to offer, under the solemnity of an oath, proofs of the Innocence of a fellow-creature convicted of an offence of which life is the forfeit, and already standing or the brink of an untimely grave. —We are now told that seventeen affidavits and statements were re pined, and laid at an early hour on Saturday morning before Lord Melbourne, who entered immediately into the investigation, and that copies of the documents were also sent to the Lied Chancellor, who had not attended the Council. The result was, that before eight o'clock on the same evening the prisoner was on his knees. returning thanks to Heaven for being rescued from the peril of impending fate, while just within the deadly grasp of the executioner. Great credit is due to the Lord Chancellor, and the Secretary for the Home Depart. went, for the humane promptitude with which they attended to this sue. Their own feelings will be their best reward. But let us only sup. pose that the prisoner had been left for execution in a remote put of the kingdom, where the affidavits might have been hawked about From one Magistrate to ;another, because the Committing Napidrate refused to allow them to be sworn ; the intet vat between the order for execution, and the time at which it was to have taken place, might have expired before the documents could have Leen communicated to the Home Department, or submitted to the intelligent glance of that distinguished personage who fills the highest judicial office under the Crown. In the number of the EdiuleuryA Review for last January appeared an article on the " punishment of death for forgery," which justly stigmatized the law as both sanguinary and ineffective; but, at the same time, decried as springing from a " perverted humanity," all attempts to " interfere with the ordinary course of criminal justice, in particular eases of capital punishment." It may be very well to confine philosophical die quisition to abstract principles, when practical results are less regarded than the display of ingenuity in disputation ; but it is our opinion, that partik in general are seldom to be convinced of the viciousness of bed.: principles, in matters of law and government, without having their ' attention called to the injustice and misthief of their operation its par tiouiar instances. If Alderman Wood bad lett the four poor historic:l to their fate, whom the blond-money men had convicted on yet ijured testimony, by due course of few, and of who e guilt pet. they Judge nor Jury entertained any doubt, the Reviewer might have complimented him un not " interfering wi It the milt. I nary course of criminal justice in particular Cases of capital punishment ;" but we imagine be erjoys a .1111-re (aqui quisite satisfac ion in the consciousness of his keying ta.v.el four human beings from a fate as unjust es it was terrible and ignominious. and that because of sub very interfe7. cum. Besides, when a law is admitted to be unnecessarily le I. gulnary and severe, every individual instance of its application culls te.r prompt and immediate sympathy and interference, lett, while mercy is Indulging in abstract speculations of improvement, juries may be de filed, and barbarism promoted, by cruel and inhuman preview. The punishment of death, when inflicted, is, of course, irreparable—no atonement can be made to him who unjustly suffers it, as in the clue of secondary punishment—and thetefore every instance of error in ult. judging death ought to serve to put legialatots on their guard aguins• the danger of being, too Ready to arm fallible men with the weapons of judicial extermination. CITY. ONE O'CLOCK. We have experienced a great sensation in the City this morning, owing to Ministers being in the minotity last night in the House of Commons ; %thick) has caused a general out cry, and dissatisfaction. and the public are in hopes that his Majesty will be staunch to his people, :Aid inanedistely dis solve the Parliament ; which, report from the West-anti says, is to take place this day ; but what is more singular, is the rise in the fuuds—there being a prevailing opinion on the Stock Exchange, that the Tory• Administration will come in. Consols, which left off yesterday at 791 for the Account, opened at 79, and rapidly went up to 791 i and 791 for Money. Great anxiety prevails to know the future opera tions of the Ministry on this important event. No arrivals, and nothing doing in the Foreign Market. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. Consols, which were in the early part of the morning at • 79f for the account, have receded to 79i. The well informed expect that Ministers will not dissolve Parliament. 1 i i J S v I
