CA it I.SItiIUE, Aug. 20.—The bill on the liberty • , t the press has just been unanimously adopted by the two Chambers, as has that for the abolition of ?vibes. Our government is making progress, to tbe •great displeasure of Austria and Prussia. No thing can arrest the march of the public mind. Woe kill attend those who have not employed their ..forts to save Poland, when the news shall arrive t h a t IVarsaw has fallen. The sympathy of all el.tses in Germany is very great, and cries of in ifignatiOn are already uttered against the Sove 'Tips, whose obstinacy and partiality have con nibuted to the propagation of the cholera morbus. PARIS, SEPT. 2.—There was a report on 'Change of a now revolution said to have broken r in Brazil, in which the Europeans were mas- Ac: ed. The accounts from London of the day 'nitre yesterday mention nothing of the kind; nor , !ti the letters from our sea ports. It must be sap posed that the news was brought to Brest by a man of e.ar, and transmitted to the telegraph. It is, nevertheless, true, that the state of Brazil is such as to excite apprehension. M. da Rocha, envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary from the r!ew Brazilian Government, arrived at Paris ou , he 31st August, accompanied by his BOA, who is A:ached to the legation. The Brazilian Consulate-General, at Paris, has ..st been delivered to M. D'Amrin, a chief clerk in the Department of Foreign Affairs at Rio de .1311eiro. The Dey of Algiers has been, to-day, to pay a visit to Marshal Clause!. We do not know whe ther this visit has any connection with the projects, which his Highness is supposed to entertain respect ing his former dominions. Tho. members of the diplomatic body have been ebierved to be ail in motion to-day. Several were' to have taken part to-day in a hunting excursion, •cl..ich has been put off in consequence of the re cent, of dispatches by several legations. A Journal has announced that 30,000 men of the French army, on leaving the territory of Bel gian), will take up their position in an entrenched camp before Arras. The Courrier du Pas de Ca- Fs says it has no knowledge of this fact. Much, it thinks, has been stated on the authority of very %agile rumours. The Milan Gazette of the 25th gives an account of a riot in the the theatre ou the 23d. The peo ple, on pretext of disapproving of the performance, epctily resisted the armed force. The Austrian Soldiers came from all parts of the city to the scene of the disorders. The soldiers at first fired in the air. but finding that the tumult was not allayed, and that the affair was becoming serious, they at length fired on the mob ; several persons were killed and Iyounded , and it was with great difficulty that order was restored. At eleven e'clock at night the streets were still full of troops. Numerous patrols were on foot all night. POLAND. Cancow, Au°. 25.—The day before yesterday ;:le news was spread here that Gen. Rozicki had .•ained a brilliant victory over the corps of Gen. tudiger near Sziedlow, and had taken eight pieces cannon, and 4,000 prisoners. They speak also of a great victory of our main army, but the source of this news is not known. This moment we have received news from Lem -1 erg of the 27th int. Gen. Rudiger has been I eaten by the Poles, and forced over into the Aus trian territory. After the arrival here the day before yesterday of Estafette, two regiments of infantry, and two of cavalry, and batteries of artillery have been des atched to the frontiers to disarm the Russians, ;.ho have sought protection in Austria. BERLIN, Ara. 30.—The retreat of Field-Mar ,hal Paskewitsch from Warsaw has been caused by defeat sustained by General Rudiger, who was I eaten by the Commander-in-Chief Skryznecki at the head of 16,000 men, on the 20th inst. So un expectedly did the Polish Field-Marshal attack the corps of Gen. Rudiger, that after considerable loss, he had scarcely time to retreat across the Vistula. According to the same news, the report of Skry znecki recall, and the murders comMitted in War were the fabrications of the Poles, for the purpose of drawing off the attention of the enemy from their movements in the south. BRESLAL, At: a. 24.—The following intel ligence was received by a merchant of the first respectability in Breslau, from Poland yesterday. —General Skrzynecki had entered into a negoti ation with Field Marshal Paskewitech for a cessa tion of hostilities, in order to enter into a treaty 10 be negotiated in conjunction with the Five Great Powers ; which, it was hoped, would lead to a happy termination. But General Skrzynecki displaced, it was not known whether his suc cescr, General Dembinski, would pursue the same course as his predecessor. It was, however, con ::dered likely that he would do so. PRUSSIA. COLOGNE, SEPT. I.—The vigilance of the l i ri:ssian government has hitherto prevented all :xl:ll:itions of popular sympathy in what is called civil regeneration; but in these provinces there is . .utiieient food for a political conflagration, and it 11:ints only a fit occasion to burst into flame. The statesmen, however, who guide Prussia are on the alert, and determined by their utmost efforts not only to put down revolutions at home, but to pre vent all introduction from abroad of the principles , Allich produce them. The present Government of Prussia, with Fre derick William at the head,—a King who has had ' much experience as any of the legitimate mo. %iirvli.• of the vicissitudes of revolution and war, — :s at present more prudent than daring in its pro et.cdings. Pulp• sensible of the vulnerability of all the frontiers, the Government has arranged the :'nu=t perfect organization throughout the country. frost the Liu-and-whits-striped posts and sentry boxes or. the road side, to the highest odices in the state, care is taken that every thing is in its place. 3c,d The Pi usi..ian army is, perhaps, at this moment the finer iu Europe: artillery, cavalry, and infan lrY, are exceedingly well-disciplined; some say 'llh too notch finical nicety on trivial points, but I ins attention to small matters, proves only how much rue is given to the more serious subjects. It Is the fa,hion in France to ridicule the Prussian e uf dinipline ; yet this is but a branch of the tgaiiization which pervades all the ranks of Ole State. The King has expressed his, 'teat satisfaction with the armies in those rovinces, on which he places great depen . ace. The number of men of which they eon -Ist has been stated to me to be 75,000, u ith 220 pieces of cannon, on the line of frontiers extend ing from Luxemburg to Westphalia. In other parts of these provinces an equal number is Ma -1 tioned ; and there can, within three days, be 400 more guns conveyed, if necessary, to the frontiers. The strength of the army has lately been called towards the Dutch and Belgian frontiers, and, as I have been assured, the soldiers were under arms I during the period of the late Dutch campaign in Belgium. The commercial classes are not now as satisfied as formerly with the arrangements of the King, relative to the ngvigation of the Rhine. Some time ago, the Government declared three of the Prussian ports on this river to be free as entrepots they were Cologne, Wesel, and another. Many of the trading classes filled their stores with mer chandise, front expectation that purchasers would soon flock to their marts, but unluckily for their ape culations, the Kings of Holland and Prussia formed a treaty with respect to the free navigation of the rirer,and they now see vessels pass up the Rhine with the same description of goods, which they cannot dispose of. They are, consequently, ready to quarrel with the King, and would, with a malicious satisfaction, consent to join France, in the hope of gain. This city is a most filthy collection of ruined buildings, and its 60,000 inhabitants drag out their existence in squalid misery. The Go vernment seems aware of the fact, for within a few days it has sent an order to 8 shoemakers to have 150,000 short boots ready within 3 weeks. The police is watchful in the extreme—in parti cular to prevent the introduction of foreign news papers, and the dissemination of French principles. The Belgian journals are prohibited at several of the the post-offices, yet they and.the French papers are allowed- to pass by others. The passports of foreigners are strictly examined before they are , allowed to journey into the country. It is said that a French agent was lately seized and thrown into prison, merely from his having given information on the state of their forces. Among the great wants which this part of the country, as well as by far ate greater portion of Ger many, desire to have satisfied, is the freedom of the press. Now nothing is allowed publication except it be written in favour of absolutism and the existing governments; and there are multitudes of pamphlets of that nature to be found at all the booksellers, in which it is proved, or at least attempted to be proved, that Prussia and her present system form the happiest nation in Europe. Foreign books or pamphlets of a contrary tendency are, on importa tion by a book-vender, subjected to an examination at the shop, and if any thing offensive to the go vernment be discovered, the book is seized by the police. The Prussian Government has taken especial care that the pure dialect of the German language as spoken in the northern provinces should be stu died here. Gratuitous schools for that object have been established in all the villages, and every as pirant for any place whatsoever under the govern ment is obliged to prove his knowledge thereof, prior to his obtaining any favour. This serves as a prohibition against the use of the patois German formerly spoken in these provinces ; as also against the use of the French language. AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, SEPT. 2.—There is no wish in this city for a union with France, since it is thought that such a union would prove injurious to the manufactures established here. It has been supposed that the popular commotions which took place here last October bad some such object in view ; but some of the inhabitants have assured me, that the mob contemplated nothing on that occasion but the chances of plunder, and that then the disturbances were quelled bythe citizens alone, without the aid of any military force. The utmost good will appears to subsist between the Dutch and Prussian armies, and on several occasions Dutch soldiers are seen to pass through the country. NETHERLANDS. The elections are nearly brought to a close, and have turned strongly in favour of the French party. At Liege and Verviers the intolerant party have triumphed, and these two cities now only declare that their object in commencing the revolution was in order to be joined to France. M. Charles de Brouckere, the Minister of War, has been thrown out at Hasselt. A gentleman who arrived yesterday from the Hague, says that the King of Holland is augment ing his army with 40,000 men. This is an enor mous number, but still there is some truth in it. I believe we have another protocol. The pre sent one is supposed to contain a proposition for an indefinite suspension of arms between Holland and Belgium, and that France is to be empowered to guard the two countries from breaking their en gagements. M. Lebeau is returned both for Brussels and Huy. .. . Although our treasury is empty, the bank is rid) ; several millions of francs have, within the last two days, been deposited there, for the use of the French army. Reports are continually arriving of the surrender of Warsaw, and the appointment of Prince Radzivil as Viceroy of Poland. Negotiations are going on between the English and French Ambassadors, and General Chasse, for the formation of dykes, so as to prevent thhe exten sion of the damage done by the late inundation. Holland has refused exchanging any prisoners with Belgium, referring the question to the Congress. It is said that Belgium has at last consented to agree to the armistice as proposed by the Five Powers. HUNGARY. The German Tribune, a constitutional journal published at Munich, contains the following In Hungary the agitation of the public has become great. The higher and lower nobility have entered with great warmth into the cause of the Poles, and are anxious, above all things, for their nationality and independence. They recollect with pride and grief, that Hungary itself was independent previous to Ine, when she fell under the Austrian domina- tion. They know that the consequences were, at home, a conspiracy ; at one time hypocritical, and, at another, at. tended wi sanguinary violence against the nationality, the constitution, the habits, and even the language of the Hungarians; and abroad, the loss of their finest provinces, which were torn from them by the Turks. Amongst the people, on the contrary (who, being without any rights, have become mere machines) nothing but superstition has existed since the introduction of the terrible scourge of the cholera. 'On this occasion the Austrian Government has been taught a lesson ; and now knows by experience, that it is better to afford the mass of the people enlightened in struction, than suffer them to grovel In ignorance. Not only have the measures against the cholera been rendered in many places abortive by the resistance of a blind popu lation, but on the banks of the Theism, and at the north west extremity of Hungary, the most frightful prejudices have got full possession of the minds of the lower clean.— They imagine that the nobles and great landholders wish. to exterminate them, and that the physicians poison the air and the water; that hence it tomes that so many of the poor and so few of the rich die, and that the latter make use of witchcraft to preserve themselves and destroy their serfs. The consequence is, that in the counties of ?Amp- En, Ssibott, Torontal, and Unghvar, and even in some parts of Zips, the peasants are waging a savage war, to which upwards of fifty nobles, and even women, have fallen victims. A greai many of the castles and seats of the nobility have been set on fire and destroyed. Letters from Prests, Presburg, and Vienna, cite amongst the many vic tims the well.krown names of Chaky, Szinnay, Almasy, Boronkay, and others. Cordons of troops are stationed ; but the fires are no sooner extinguished at one point. than they burst forth at another with increased violence. The strength of the monachy is completely exhausted by these calamities. The government cannot at this moment third of war in any shape, and therefore all that may be said on this subject should be treated as the mere inventions of alarmists. Sleep has fled from moat of the castles and towns of Hungary, from constant apprehension of being murdered or burnt by the peasantry. The end must be, that the nobles will place themselves at the bead of the few followers they have left, and commence a war of ex. termination. The probability is that they would s uc c ee d, but the contrary is not impossible ; but in either case what would be the advantage to the nation ? There will be great difficulty in retarding the hour of regeneration ; the en lightened part of the Magnates are pupated for it. Civili zation has at length expanded itself beyond the ignoble minority in which it has been circumscribed during the op pression of rges. The dream of Ezekiel is about to be realised, and the scattered members of the nation gathered together and restored to animation. The march of time is irresistible, and will not be impeded by that scrni-barbarity in which it is endeavoured to overwhelm the material and Intellectual powers of Hungary ; even the capture of Warsaw will not arrest its course. We are astonished that the jour. nallists of France and England should be so ill-In formed of the real state of things, and do not endeavour to give Europe better intelligence upon a subject in which she is so deeply Interested, and which is so little understood." THE EVENING STAR. ~- _.. _ LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPT. 6. Oxz O'CLOCK. THIS MM.—Thermometer, 64. Ba rometer, 29.90. Wind S.S.W. Weather, cloudy, and rain. It affords us indescribable satisfaction, that while we arc enabled to justify our exclusive; sources of early intelligence, we arc able to : combine proofs of .he continued triumph of the Poles. We last seek promulgated an account of a Polisli victory, on the authority of the Hamburgh Corte,Tondenten, whose honest Editor is, we pre sume, not under Prussian or Russian influence ; but subsequently, the affair was so concealed, or mystified, by the Prussian and Austrian Papers, that we really supposed the zeal of the Hamburgh! Editor bad led ut. into an error. We could not suppose that for several days, the utter defeat of the Russian auxiliary corps, on each side of the Vistula, could have been so audaciously with held from Europe by the State journals, on both sides of the seat of war. The public attention was directed towards the movements of PA SIC E ITSCII ; and we previously had heard so little of these auxiliary corps, whose object, it now appears, was the surrounding of Warsaw, that as positive intelligence showed, that PAsK EWITSCH and the main army had not been defeated, so we and our contemporaries concluded, that no such victory had been gained, as the Hamburgh editor had I described. It now appears, however, though we are still without direct Polish accounts, that the two Rue . man armies, proceeding to co-operate with PAS.- KawrrscH, have been totally routed; and the fact is only now admitted, to serve as an apology for the retreat of PasxzwiTscx, after be, and his pestiferous barbarians, had pushed on their reck less cossacks, almost to the suburbs of Warsaw, owing to the Poles being engaged in other quarters. So complete has been this mystification, that although Cracow is within a hundred miles of Vienna, and only at an equal distance from War saw, yet the Austrian Observer describes the fu gitive Russians as Poles, escaping from Russian vengeance, owing to the imminent danger of War saw, while the Prussian Journals hypocritically croak about the sad fate of Warsaw, and let out the fact of the retreat of Past( Ewyrscit, in vague terms, ascribing it—not to the defeat of RI:DIGER-but to his not having joined, as ex pected ! Again, just at this crisis, the last Berlin Gazette of the 2d gives not one word from Poland a pretty clear proof, that nothing could be an nounced agreeable to the dirty policy of the Court of Berlin on this subject. When this arti cle is read in Warsaw, and we have the satisfaction to know, that the London STAR is both read and respected in that city, the Poles will be much amused at the perplexity into which their friends all over Europe have been thrown, by the craft of the Prussian and Austrian papers. We have various reasons for believing, founded both on public and private information, that the news spread about serious insurrections in Warsaw was an ingenious invention of the Poles, to throw the Russians off their guard, and inspire a fatal confidence ; and also, that the resignation of the command to DEMBINSKI took place, to enable SK RZYN ECK I to operate with the weight of his name and character in Lithuania, so as completely to cut off the whole of the Russian army on the left of the Vistula, if a a .tisfactory peace cannot be concluded. By the Mails of yesterday and to day, we are assured of the certainty, that the Military Colonies in Russia have revolted against the cruelty and anti-human character of that system. The demands amide on them, for the brutal and life-destroying service in Poland, have no doubt, provoked even their ignorance, to turn upon their masters. These colonies, our readers will re collect, were a device of the emperor Alexander, for training a necessary proportion of his sub jects to the art of war. Lands were granted, villages built, and a certain proportion of the chil dren of the peasantry taken from their parents, and transplanted into these villages, to be educated and trained as soldiers. A system more alien to all the natural feelings of humanity could not well be conceived ; though like our country jails, they wera neatly whitewashed ; kept clean ; and exhibited a gloomy tranquillity. Repeated demands on these establishments, for new victims to hz... sent to she Polish war, probably under age, or contrary to re gulation, seem to have produced a result, which we should hope will reduce the power of the haughty AUTOCRAT; and at least put an end to the war in Poland. We introduce to-day, some details relative to the serious insurrection which pervades several provinces of Hungary, among the descendants of those Huns who, under A - rm.*, overran Europe. The domination of the House of, Austria over these brave people has always been marked by caution in the House of Hapshorg, and by jealousy of all their rights on the part of the Hungarians. This country adjoins Poland, from which they have, no doubt, acquired political lessons. We have for some time had obscure no tices, via Vienna, of their advocacy of the Poles ; but the accounts given in another part of our paper, seem to prove, that the Court of Vienna will be likely to have more urgent employment for its military machines, than in oppressing Italy, or dictating—as it Las too long done-.to its weaker neighbours. We should not wonder, if an alliance were to Le formed between the Poles and Hungarians, strong enough to upset all the arbitrary projects of the mis-called Holy Alliance. We seldom refer to Mici urt, and his tyranny, which we should regard as ridiculous, if not so cruel. Some of our contemporaries, who peep ' into a small hole with the cunning of a magpie, make a very unwelcome parade of the transactions of this despot. For our parts, in this we imitate . the regular Governments, and do not acknowledge him. His brother PEDRO is at pre sent diverting himself near Paris, and we lifter quarrel with the innocent sports of those Royal Personages; but as he is King of PORTUG AL de jure, it appears to us that his hereditary subjects hare claims to his sympathy, and more active attention, than he has hitherto appeared to bestow on them. So many rumours have reached London, relative to a republican revolution in Brazil, and it is in itself an event so highly probable, that we are daily in expectation of receiving the particulars. It should be borne in mind, that the late revolution was efiested, not by the Portuguee.e, but by the native Brazilians—the Mezzo families of Portu guese and other descent. We congratulate the Ministers, and the Courts of Europe, on the example set them in the King dom of Wurtemberg, where Civil Liberty is acquit tug a solid foundation, under a King who is wise lenough to discover, that it is far more easy to reign by the affections of bis subjects,than in defiance of them. Dr. BEATTIE'S tour proves the close ness of the intimacy between this amiable Monarch and our own patriotic Sovereign; and both of them appear, by that intimacy, to have so exchanged sentiments, as proves no less fortunate to the people of Wurtemberg, than to those of Britain. In the House of Lords last night, Lord Aberdeen sought to perplex Ministers, by a very dull detail relative to Portugal, which will be little relished by the public, since it cannot be forgotten, that at the time of the change of administration, his Lornship and the then Ministry had announced an intention to recognize Miguel. The Duke of Wellington echoed the sentiments of Lord Aberdeen ; and Lord Londonderry spoke in terms of commendation of Miguel. It would be a waste of paper to follow this three hours' discus sion, about circumstances with which the public are familiar, and upon the policy of the present Ministers, which all men approve, and think more tolerant towards Miguel than it ought to be. hi the House of Commons another petition was presented in favour of the Reverend R. Taylor, by Mr. Briscoe. Mr. Crampton presented a petition from I)ublin against the late return, which was ordered to be taken into consideration on a future day. Mr. Hume presented three petitions —one signed by 5000 persons, a:.;ninst the intolerant prosecution and cruel and illiberal treatment of the Rev. R. TAY LOR. He also presented a petition in favour of the hawkers of cheap publications, which led to a conversation, in which the prosecution of such persons was generally condemned. Mr. Hunt presented a petition on the same sub ject ; and gave notice of a motion for en Act of Grace, to release all Crown debtors, on the ot•ca- 1 sion of the Coronation ; and that 20,0001. should be allotted for the discharge of all small debtors. We are pertmaded the public at large will ardently concur in this idea. Colonel Sibihorpe gave a very prcper notice, for the appointment of a Select Committee to report on the prevention of calamities in Steam-heats. Mr. Vernon moved that the writ• should he is sued to Liverpool ; but this was opposed by Mr. Benett, who urged a bill for preventing bribery in that borough. A debate ensued, %% hen the amend ment was carried by 76 to 35 ; and leave was given to Mr. Benett to bring in a Bin, after a fur ther discussion. In the Reform Committee, the House agreed rapidly to the several clauses from the 33d to the 44th. The Hackneycoach Rill was read a third time and passed. The Dean and Chapter of Westminster say they shall apply the sums received for tl:e sale of seats in the Abbey, towards a fund fu relieving the poor during the ensuing winter.

COUNCIL-OFFICE, WHITEIIALL, SEPT. 5, 1831. Thrse ore to give notice, that printed copies of the torn and order of the Divine Service to be used at thvir Majes ties' Coronation, have been sent to this Office, and that one copy thereof wUI be delivered to each P,er, Privy Council. lor, and Member of Parliament, who has duly signified to his Grace tl:e Duke of Norfolk, Earl Marshal of Englund, his intention to be present at the solemnity, on mitten ap. plication being made at this Office in the course of to morrow and Wednesday next, between the houri of ten o'clock in the morning and four o'clock in the afternoon. C. C. GREVILLF- His Majesty gave audiences yesterday to Earl Grey, the Hanoverian Minister, the Duke of Buccicuch, and Lord Holland. The Queen, accompanied by her sister, the Duchess of Saxe ‘Veimar, took an airing in the a'tcrno•m, in a carriage and four, round Hyde-park. The Duke of Sussex paid a visit to their Nl,t -jesties, and their Alajesties entertained a select party at dinner in the es% ni .g. BOULOONZ. SLPT. 6.—This piers is crowded with English visitors at present, and like an English colony. There has been a great influx within these few days. and hardly a lodging is to be got. Many new houses are erect ing, and the town is now neat and clean (thanks to John Bull for his liberality) as any in England. 'rue citizens mount guard without uniform—cannon is planted on the Boulevards. Over the Guard-house is a bust of King Philip, surrounded by two tri-coloured flags ; and underneath that of La Fayette, with these words-- " Liberte. Ordres Public, 27, 28, 29 Juillet-1789, 1830." Came in the Royal George packet, with Judge and Lady Bayley, Mr. and Mrs. Rae %Filson, Mr. and Mrs. Grassbrook, Mr. Thomson, and many other passengers. From an °mt. sional defect In speech in Lady ILtyly, the learned Judge has been obliged to take her often aquatic trips, which has the wonderful effect of restoring speech. The English Church was crowded yesterday, when the Communion was adminlatered.—Exchange 0 francs. DOVER. SEPT. s.—His Excellency General Sir Frederick Adams, with Colonel Ruddlesdale, &c. sr- Tired yesterday at Wright's Ship Hotel, from Corfu. Lord and Lady William Russell and family, and Mrs. Moss and family, also came by his Majesty's mail packet Firefly. His Grace the Duke of Devonshire has been at Wright's same days. Tickets for the Abbey are selling about the streets at a guinea, half a guinea, and five shillings, according to position. It is understood that they are those, which are the properly of the Clergy, connected with the Abbey. Was the same thing done at the last Coronation ? It has created much surprise. - - - - - - W. see advertised in the Paris papers a steam packet, Francois* Premier, of 450 tons, and one hundred and twenty horse-power, re sailing regu larly between Marseilles, Genoa, Leghorn, and Naples. The Galignanis of Paris annunce a French re print of the new work called the Club Book ; and also Oliver Moore's Staff Officer. It affords us pleasure to learn that the tasteful theatre at Brighton, under the spirited management of Messrs. Vining and Bew, has been most libe rally patronised ever since its commencement. Mr. Russell, the late respected manager, is enjoying the otium cum dignitate, surrounded by an amiable and interesting family. • Patrick Gibson, who lately died in his 110th year, at Chelsea, assured the writer of this para graph, in the presence of his grandchildren, and great grandchildren, that be had never in his life drank the quantity of a single glass of raw spirits ; even though as purser of a second rate, he served all the spirits to the crew. He considered all spit its as a slow deadly poison ; his favourite liquor was coffee, and he did not refuse an occasional draft of porter. New PEERS.—The following is spoken of as a correct list of new Peers about to be created :—Sir Fralcis Burdett. Sir T. Acland, T. W. Coke, Esq. Sir W. Beni. tylde, Colonic' Tynte.

A rumour is in circulation that the Duke of Or the Crown Prince of France. is expected In London, to be present at the Coroaatien. This is, we believe. inter sect; but his Royal Highness, cr an ambassador to repre sent his father on the occasion, would bare attended. had it been agreeable to our gracious &Tertian to put Me Court of the Palais Royal to that expense.

DESTRUCTIVE Ft fut.—Abet:. t two O'clock this mornings fire was discovered to have too menced in the very extemive premises of Mr. Cousins, the whnlesalc fancy toynlan, of Na 57, Aldersgateirree , . Th e g amer burst forth in a few minutes in the most terrific manner. Such was the blaze of light that in a short titne it directed all the firemen and the different insurance engines to the spot. There was abundance of water, but no elation of the nu. merous firemen, with a large body of the City police. headed by Mr. Drown, one of the City Marstiele, and all the pariah officers, could confine the fire to Mr. CoustlWs house end property ; for in a short time the tiwellinkhouse of Mr. Edwards, a gentleman connected v ith the ptibtinv bnsitters, was ignited, and he, with his holly, bad barely tin.e escape in their night clothes. The fire Mg. tentrnunirhtt to Hare-court and Cherry-tree -court, whit h ate situated en both sides of Mr. Cousins and Mr. RdsParda' hooves. and the two sides of these courts are nearly destroyed, and very little of the property of the poor and desti tu t e i n h a bi ts , is reserved. About four o'clock the walk of the how" of Mr. Cousins and Mr. Edwards fell id Pith a tremendous crash, to the imminent danger of the affienen and City psi k.. who were at the time exerting t rs to the utmost in preventing the fire from ereaffiNg further. The Alden% tie Medical Institution, which is in the rear of Mr. Edwards and Mr. Cousins' goeses, as well as the Hare-tours Dissent. ing Chapel, were reamed.
