Mr. WARBURTON txpl.,in, :::.tt :•aid, that he was determined persevere in his motion. After a few observations frem O'CONNOR DON, the bill passed t lortP.:gh a committee PUBLIC I'IIARITITS. Ti ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for leave to bring in a Bill, to extend the power of Commissioners on Public Charities. Mr. Aid. WINCH ESTER made a few observations on the measure, did not reach the gallery. 'r. HUME admitual that the motion east one of a good tendency, :.et he at-:td a rumber of rea.ons, showing that to be beneficial, the Is minissionere must have other instruction than the last commission, to le; der them efficient. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL in his reply said, that the Corn ewssier which he proposed was likely to be more efficient than the last Commission. Sir C. WETH ERMA, spoke in objection to the observations of th' hon. Member for Mhldlesex. After a few words from Ald. WINCHESTER, the ATTORIZEY•OZ: and Mr. HuNT, leave was given to bring in the Bill. Mr. LAMB moved for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Ado , 27th Geo. 111. for levying the militia in the Tower Hamlet , . Mr. lIU ME hoped; he whole of the militia lawn would be brought before the .10ttle. The burden at present fell entirely upon the poor. The militia should b. raised, as in Ireland, by levying the money re. quired to embody militia regiments, by means of a tax comprising all classes. After a few words from Alderman WOOD and Mr. HODGES, Mr. LAMB said the propriety of a change in the system should not be lost sight of. Leave was then given to bring in the bill. Lord ALTHORP gave notice that to-morrow, in the Committee of 'rays and Means, he should move the annual sugar duties. The other orders of the day were then disposed of. The Tower Hamlets Militia Bill was brought in by Mr. Lamb, read first time, and ordered to be read a second time:to-morrow. An Hon. Munro presented a petition from a place in Northum berland, praying for a commutation of tithes. Mr. WATSON presented a petition from the freemen of the Corpo ration of Canterbury, praying for Reform, and offering to surrender up their elective franchise. Sir CHARLES WETHERELL observed the petition was ineee.. sistent with the petitioners' oath to defend the rights of their Corpo. ration. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL denied any such inconsistency to exist. Mr. HUNT had heard of a meeting having been held in London by c.rtuir outvoters of Canterbury, complaining of the Reform. But he could assure the hon. member for Boreughhridge that they regretted— rot the loss of th. it corporate rights, but the good beef and good al distributed at elections. The ATTOR N EV-GENERAL presented two Anti-slavery peti tions from Bristol. He also presented a petition frmo the lieenced brewers, and others of Nottingham, complaining of tie obstruction to •heir business occasioned by informers. Also a petition from the com positors, and others of Nottingham, against the stamp acts. Also, two petitions from the Hibernian Negro Friends Society, one for the equali sation of the sugar duties, and another for the abolition of negro sla very. A similar petition from the dissenters of Thornbury, in Glou cestershire. Petitions praying that the proposed Bill should pass into a law, were presented from Greenwich, and from Woolwich, by Mr. Hodges, anti tom Wolverhampton by Mr. Trevor. Mr. H. HUGHES presented a petition from Clergymen in Sher- Veld, for the building of new churches. Mr. CALLAGHAN presented three petitions from places In Cork against Slavery ; one for the repeal of the Union from the Tailors of the city of Cork ; one from the shipowners of the same place against the tiodier duties. Mr. E WART presented a petition from Liverpool, for the repeal of the duty on candles. Mr. it TREVOR presented a petition from Wolverhampton,against negro slavery. Mr. BUNG presented petitions against the Vestry Bill from St. James's, from Paddington, and from St. Andrew's, Holborn. Mr. ROBINSON presented a petition from the Licensed retailers of Beer, in the .Metropolis, praying to be allowed to sell Beer to a later hour. The House adjourned at Ten Minutes past Ni.ra THE RUSSIANS AND POLES. W.t ns Aw , FEB. 28.—0 n the 24th and 25th of February there was again some very obstinate fighting ; all our jour- nals are full of the particulars. The following account is in our State Gazette of the 26th : " The day before yesterday there was a terrible battle on the other side of the Vistula. The combat began at break of day at Bialolenka; a fresh corps of Russians, which bad advanced to that place, was dispersed and lost five cannon. At Grochow, Field-Marshal Diebitsch, besides the corps of Generals Pahlen, Rosen, and Geismar, had called that of Schachowski to join him, with the intention of open ing himself a way to Warsaw. He, therefore, commenced the battle with a great superiority of force. On our right wing a caissoon, tilled with shells, blew up in the middle of a regiment of cavalry, and did us considerable injury ; our left wine; and centre now also advanced to Grochow. The u armies were in their positions in the evening. On our side, General Chlopicki was wounded in the foot by a cannon ball. Ger.eral Zymirski was mortally wounded, and died in the course of the day. The enemy, however, sustained no inconsiderable loss : they had four Generals killed; two re giments of infantry and one of cuirassiers were dispersed ; a battery partly taken, and partly spiked. Our army was at tacked seven times successively. General Krukowiecki com manded on our side. " According to other journals, the Russians had, on the 25t1:, no fewer than 150 cannon in the field. Our loss, in killed and wounded, is estimated at between 2,000 and 3,000 men, and yet all our troops were not engaged, as a great portion covered Praga. The scythe-bearers are said to have fought desperately. General Cblopicki has been brought wounded to Warsaw, but it is thought he will soon be able to leave the city again: he bad two horses killed under him. " On the two following days there was no fighting, hut it seems that it was found necessary on our side to abandon the ground on the other side of the Vistula. The melan choly result of this conviction has been, that we were obliged to set fire to the suburb of Praga, in order to have a clear space before the intrenchments which cover the bridges over the Vistula. Praga was burning the whole day on the 26th. A proclamation from the National Government promises that the unfortunate inhabitants shall be indemnified. The preceding day. in the midst of tie battle at Grochow, it was reported here for a time that Praga was taken by the enemy. *a The Commander-in-Chief, Prince Radziwill, has laid down the command, which has been given, pro tempore, by tl.e National Government, toGeiieral John Skrzvnecki, who was confirmed in the office by the two Chambers on the 26th. According to seniority, General Krukowiecki should have had the chief command ; but it is said he was the first to second the appointment of Skrzynecki. " General Dwernicki, in a report dated 24th, from Koz niece, says, that the corps of General Kreutz had entirely left the weiwodships of Sandomer and Cracow, and retired across the Vistula. The Russians had, up to that time, contrived to stiengthen the ice on the 'Vistula, and to keep up the communication over it by covering the sur face with straw, and pouring water over it. " A resolution, of the National Government, of the 26th, declares all Poland in a state of war. 4 THE HAGUE, MARCH B.—The Handlesblad says, that a courier had arrived at Amsterdam, with news that a report was received at Berlin on the 3d, that Praga had been taken by storm by the Russians, and that it was ex pected that the surrender of Warsaw would speedily follow. " This report, however, needs confirmation, especially as such reports have frequently been spread. " His Royal Highness the Prince of Orange is expected here from London about the 15th inst. " The Petersburgh journals, of the 23d of February, con tain the second bulletin of Count Diebitsch : it is dated let (13th) of February, and relates only to some trifling skir mishes. The insurgents were so unprepared for the arrival of the Russians, that they even abandoned their magazines of provisions and forage. The Russians, says the bulletin, were impatient to meet the enemy. LONDON. FRIDAY, MARCH 11. The Cabinet Council, which met yesterday afternoon at four o'clock, continued in deliberation in the Foreign Office till seven in the evening; resumed its sitting at ten, and continued deliberating till after midnight. At one this afternoon, the Council met again at the Foreign Office; and, as in both the previous instances, was numerously attended. We fear a hope cannot be rationally indulged as to the fate of Warsaw. The estafette has just brought to us a number of French papers, all replete with expressions of regret at the event. We have selected a few paragraphs, illustrative of the predominating feeling on the subject. As to the fact, although there is nothing yet amounting to what can be called an official account of the disaster, nor a very clear explanation of how the intelligence has reached Paris, there is in all the papers details of the unfortunate transactions, which accord so generally in the particulars, as to render it unnecessary to transcribe the narrative from more than one Journal ; and mention the particulars in which the others vary. The Messager des Chambres seems to speak with more diffidence on the subject, than its contemporaries. It says, " This day the most disastrous news have been current upon the affairs of Poland. It was given out at the Bourse as positive, that Praga was burnt—that the Russians in great force occupied the environs of Warsaw, and that that city was ready to capitulate. It was said that General DIEBITSCH had invested the place with 80,000 men, whilst the Polish army was engaged with a grand Russian corps before Praga. We have seen a letter from Berlin, written to this purport ; but the Gazette de Prusse of the 2nd March contains nothing of a similar cha racter. We are pleased to doubt, until such time as we re ceive at Paris the direct news. The Moniteur affirms, this day, that there had not arrived at the Palais Royal any despatch from Poland. We say on our side, with several Journals of the morning, and without fear of being contra dicted, that the news which we gave yesterday, as a general on dit, proceeded direct from persons attached to the house of the King, and that it was spread at the Chamber, where it obtained credit ; it was to it added even that the Russian artillery had been taken." Le Temps says—" Our illusions have been of short dura tion—Poland victorious over Russia ! The spectacle was too sublime for thistime of degradation and misery—all has returned to order. Poland exists no more. Such is the meaning of the ambiguous words which reiterated questions extracted from the Minister of Foreign Affairs, this day in the Chamber. A courier from Berlin has brought the des patches to Government of the 3d of March." Le Constitutionnel says, " Praga has been sacked and burnt—the principal authorities of Warsaw capitulated— Prince Radziwill has been dismissed from thb command —General Chlopicki is wounded, and another Polish General killed. The Government received the news offi cially from Berlin."—To these details it adds : " There remains then no more for France, than to lament the fate of these matyrs to Polish Liberty. Our brothers of, Warsaw have sunk under the Conquerors ; will it be suf fered by us, will Europe suffer it, that the heroes who have' survived this great disaster, shall be delivered to execution. ere, or conducted in slavery to the tortures of Siberia? And the Russians, conquerors, after having bathed at' their leisure in the blood of so many victims, will they stop upon the borders of the Vistula ?"—Le Constitutionnel. The Messager des Chambres says, that Gen. DIEBITSCII had formed the investing of the place with 80,000 men, whilst the Polish army was engaged with a Russian corps before Praga. Thus, in the combats of the 16th and 17th, the Polish army had an affair but with an isolated division. Le Tribune asserts, that CHLOPZCICI is killed, and gives letters (rein Baron MoRTIER, as the authority. La Quotidienne, after stating the facts, adds the follow ing, which leaves the news, after all, depending on some ambiguous expression of General SEBASTIANI : " This news circulated at the Chamber, and the Minister for Foreign Affairs, when questioned upon its authenti city, refused to explain, and spoke vaguely, ' of vexatious news having arrived to the Government.' It was said that this vexatious news might have reference to something else than the affairs of Poland." We believe we have now condensed all the particulars found in the French Journals, on this lamented subject. The Hamburgh Mails, arrivedito-day, are silent on the facts, and it is still possible not to be authentic. Whilst we are contesting about our civil liberties, and while the European nations are divided by senseless jea lousies, the Siberian barbarians are establishing themselves in advance. The Machiavelian Congress of Vienna per mitted Russia to hold Poland on terms which were an inefficient security ; for the northern Tyrant laughed at terms, and now identify Poland with their own bar barous despotism, setting the constitution of Poland at nought ! How exactly, therefore, the European States resemble 'those of Greece, when the northern Macedonians were, on successive pretexts, doing just what Russia has I been doing for half a century! The eloquence of DEMOS THEN El was exerted in vain, to effect that which another DEMOSTHENES is now called upon to effect ; with the simi- I lar case of Macedonia, and the States of Greece, to add to' his arguments. We are of opinion that the Niemen should be the boundary of Russia, and be so fixed and secured by the confederacy of all Europe. It is the common cause of civilization. Prussia will otherwise be the future boundary; but as long only as suits the pleasure of any fool or tyrant, on the despotic throne of Muscovy. This subject yesterday and to-day has engrossed public attention, and the blow is the more severe, because the first successes of the Poles led us to hope for a different result. Poland is not, however, lost, though forcible possession of Warsaw may be obtained. We remember when Napoleon took similar possession of Madrid. Empiro is proved by the government of men's affections, and not by dominion over stone walls. The news from Italy, which we are enabled to give this day, continues still cheering—and the next arrival will pro bably add a new chapter to the History of Rome. The general impression cannot be avoided, in perusing tho papers before us, that Paris itself is very discontented with the pacific policy of the Government. The official accounts of the destruction of Praga, and the surrender of Warsaw, hare not yet been received in town ; although we fear that the intelligence is too true. We have Ilamburgh and German Papers this day to the sth of March, affording several articles of interestin g news, re lating to Poland and Italy, from which we give the follow ing extracts : BRANDENBURG, MARCH our diplomatic circles, officia communications from Paris are spoken of, according to which the French Government will not interfere in any manner in the affairs of and has recognised the right of Austria to interfere by arms. It said that this recognition of the right of Austria rests on a previous acknowledgment made to the Austrian Court, in one of the conferences held at London last year ; which court already, at that time, reserved to itself the pacification of Italy, in case of a revolution. It is hoped that the nation will consider this refusal in the government, as a new pledge of the continuance of peace. We have had for two days no news from Warsaw, or from the Rus elan head.quarters ; but, however bravely the Polish army fight, all the accounts from the eastern provinces agree, that the fate of the capital, and consequently that of the kingdom of Poland, will be decided within a week. Bausswtca, MARCH I.—Count Louis Mortimer Von Millman, Prussian Minister to several German Courts, arrived here on the 25tb, on a mission from his Court. Duke William returned on the 2Gth Feb. from Hanover. HAMBUIIGH, Maacu 4.—The Chet , . A. de Meneres Vasoneellos de Drummons, has delivered his credentials as Charge d'Affaires, and Consul General of his Majesty the Emperor of Brazil, at Hamburgh.— Hamburgh papers, March 4. (These papers have no news from Warsaw of later date than the 25th Feb.) LOMBARDY, Frs. 25.—Nobody here knows whether our Emperor will interfere in the affairs of Italy, which are now in such confusion. So much is certain, that the army in the kingdom of Lombardy and Venice is to be increased to 120,000 men ; and that large bodies of ' troops are on their march. thir Italian provinces enjoy perfect tran quillity. The Archduchess Maria Louisa, with her Court, is still at Piacense, protected by 3,000 Austrians.—Franeforl papers, March 4. VIENNA, FEB. 27.—Her Majesty, the young Queen of Hungary. arrived on the 25th at Schonbrunn, and made her solemn entry into the capital today, amidst the joyful acclamations of a countless multitude of the citizens. Her Majesty was received at the Imperial Palace with great pomp; after which was the presentation of the great nobility, and a public banquet. The marriage was celebrated in the Chapel of the Court, in the afternoon. and there was a drawing-room in die evening. Various reports as is circulation respecting the sanguinary conflicts about Warsaw t it appears, from all the accounts, that both sides fought with unparalleled ksvery ; and it is reported here, that Prince Radziwill is killed, and General Diebitach wounded ; and that the Russian army waits for its reserves to make another attack. In consequence of these reports, our funds have fallen considerably. It is said that a counter revolution has taken place at Ferrara. VIENNA, FEB. 28.—We have had no official accounts from Poland, since the day before yesterday ; general apprehension consequently pre vails. The funds fall every hour, to which indeed the news from Francs contribute s but the fear of the longer continuance of the Polish war, and of the political difficulties which would ensue, is predominant. Se. veral detachments of artillery are on the way to Italy : Oen. Radelzki. who was quarter.master-general of the allied forces in 1819 and 1814, is to have the chief command of our army in Italy. Four per Cent. Metalliques, G5l; Bank Shares, SIG.—AI/ye:seine Zeitusg, March 5. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE-EXCLUSIVE. PARIS, MARCH 8. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. 91x,—The joy which had spread throughout Paris, at the former happy news from Warsaw, is now changed into mourning. It is much to be feared, that the illu sions have been kept up, respecting the success of the Poles, to answer purposes of stock-jobbing. There appears to be much jarring among the Minis try: it is expected that LA virrE will ultimately re sign. The Councils are represented to be very• stormy ; and confidence appears to be placed in no one, nor in any thing, but an appeal to the bayonet, for which the French appear to be ripe ; and it is to be feared that they will never be satisfied, till they have an op portunity of making trial of their newly acquired arms. Arrests still continue. Upwards of thirty have been arrested in Paris, during the last two days; among whom are in cluded several of the ex-members of the artillery of the na tional guard. Certainly, on the whole, gloom hangs over every thing in France at this moment ; and the French, in one word, depend upon the flash of their artillery, to dis perse the clouds. I inclose various papers to which I refer ; and I remain Your's, &c. I. L. Yesterday, Baron de Vitrolles, one of those arrested tin the day of the mummery at the Church of St. CermaM I'Auxerrois, was set at; liberty in virtue of an ordomr,,he there being no charge against him. It appears certain that M. Berenger, Member of th.• Chamber of Deputies, has not accepted the ininibtiv Justice. It is not even yet known who is to be the sw!cess oi of M. Merilhou. The Polish news has spread in Paris a profound coaste r . nation. Everywhere is accused, in the most energetic terms, that vexatious policy, which, in the vain hop e of avoiding war, abandoned the existence of a peopli , to tIH. mercy of absolute Kings. Poland has perished ; Italy w in quickly have her turn ; one after another of there guilty states who do not understand the mysteries of the quaail legitimacy and non-intervention. The Ministry surely cab not flatter itself that there will he any more respect ahem, for France after these multiplied proofs of forbearance. Let us then resign ourselves with a good grace. When Ite have frozen all popular sympathies, when we have sulvlued the spirit of the patriots of July, perhaps the Kings of E t! . rope will judge, in their wisdom, whether they can spn: e the expense of an invasion.—Journal du Commerce. The reserve of the Minister for Foreign Affairs at :he Tribune, on the Polish news, and the few words b t pronounced, has augmented the gene!al inquietude. No oat , can form an idea of the moral situation of Paris at this me. ment; all classes are affected with the same grief. The ports spread yesterday, which had augmented the liopeF e: the friends of Poland, has rendered this unexpeeted still more terrible.—Le Temps. Plat' lA. We are assured, that in consequence of an altercation the Council of State of Beilin, between the minister Wi liam of Haab°lilt and Prince Charles of Mecklenbourg, this last being out of favour with the King of Prussia, has quitted the affairs, and will retire in the Duchy. The Princr was brother to the first Queen of Prussia, was Commander in-Chief of the Guards, and divid: - :d with the Prince Roval the Presidency of the Council of State, a presidency and ' command which appeared incompatible elsewhere than :n military government. Duke Charles was one of the prin. ciple champions of absolutism and of the war party.— Message,. des Chambres. ITALY. Extract of a letter from Florence, dated February 26 : " The Duchess of St. Len Ins been chased from Rome ; has just arrived here, where she has found an asylum. is very certain that Rome cannot hold out mach longer-Iv , believe, that in a few days all the states of the Pope will hnu t thrown off the yoke. There is in Rome a party who defend the person of the Pope; but the patriots have not refu , ed to recognize him as head of the church. Tlies• de. mind only that religion and government shall be two thing, wholly distinct, that the one may not disturb the other." The National announces that the Count d'Appony went yesterday evening to remit to M. Sebastiani an official not. of effect to declare that the Austrian Government had resolved to cause the troops to march against the revolted Bolonese.— We do not vouch for the con ectnesss of this news ; we be lieve only, that in a conference which took place on Mordnv morning, between the 'Austrian Ambassador and M. Seir tinni, the dispositions of Austria were questioned, which appeared to be analogous to this presumed resolution. As for the rest, if the intentions . of England and Russia for the Holy See are such as may be supposed by the letters from Rome, and from the habitual politics of the& two courts, it is not very probable that the Austrian Go vernment will allow herself to be outstripped by these two other powers, which are not Catholics. The inaction of Spain is attributed generally to a sentiment of irritation which survives the death of the late Pope, and which is proved from the consecration of the new Bishops in the Colonial of America.—la Quotidienne. Extract of a letter from Plaisauce, dated Feb. 26 : " Hostilities commenced yesterday, the 25th, between the Austrians and the Parmesans. They left here about sevst, hundred men, and arriving at Fiorenzuolo at four o'clock in the morning, they surprised a corps of about two hundred National Guards, who fell back in disorder upon Borgo Sat, Domino, leaving two men upon the field of battle ; 22 pri- soners and four flags fell into the hands of the enemy. Two Austrian companies entered in our city, preceded by music. drawing in their train the prisoners bound with cords, and were prodigal in outrages towards them. The people manifested at this spectacle the most threatening indigna tion. The Austrians have constructed a bridge at Lucca for the passage of a column of 20 or 25,000 men, corn , manded by the Duke of Modena, who has left Mantua to I march in person upon Modena, and afterwards upon 130- Ilogna. Lord WYNFOIID'S Bill, against which we protested yes terday, last night passed in the House of Lords. Subse quently, Lord FIFE complained of the indecent baste will. which it had been hurried through the House ; and also described it as an unjust and cruel measure. Our opposition to it is, however, in time for the House of Commons; ano among men of business, it will be better understood, in spin of its plausible title—for that is its only recommendation LORD CALTIIOSPE declared himself adverse to the Re form Bill ; and for this he has some well-known reasons. In presenting an address from Bristol, approving of du Reform measure, Colonel BAILLIE declared his objecticr. to so large an increase of Country Members, as favouring the perpetuity of the Corn Bill. Mr. WARBURTON brought in his Bill for prohibiting the growth of Tobacco in Ireland, unless it were also permitted in Great Britain. A long conversation then ensued, in which Lord Avritottp, Mr. Bunn - EN, Mr. H. BAT IS, COI. CHICHESTER, MT. LEADER, Lord VALINTIA, Lord KU' LEEN, Lord LOWTHER, Sir R. BATESON, Mr. BROWN Low. opposed the bill; but Mr. F. Law's, Mr. CU RTEIS, lord ONMANTOWN, and others supported it. It appeared that tobacco, which costs but 150,0001. produces three millions duty; that only 450 acres are now employed in its product in Ireland ; and that the Irish landowners prefer even a prc bibition to a local duty. The powers of the present charity commissioners are to be enlarged, and amended, by a bill introduced by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL. Mr. LAMB brought in a bill for regulating the Tower Hamlets Militia; and Mr. Hume advised the consolidrtoc of all the militia acts. Nothing else of importance oecural. and the House adjourned at nine o'lock. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. Consols which were in the early part of the m ono!. 761 for the Account, have since receded to igl, and at Pr'" sent may be quoted 75ii. Up to the present hour we have no farther information from Poland. The public are very anxious to hear farther details of this unfortunate event. There is no business of importance going forward In the foreign market. Great fear is entertained of a renewal of the war between Holland and the Belgians. I~; ~'. H ~3
