(Signed) " The President of the National Government, 6 , The Prince CZARTORYSKI." Warsaw, May 13, 1831." ITALY. EXECUTION OF THE ITALIAN PATRIOTS. 31ortresa, MAT 27.—You are, no doubt, aware that the ;allows has been raised on the square of Modena, and that the vindictive retributions of the despots have already com menced. It was to be supposed that the first as of sangui nary revenge was reserved for the Duke of Modena. Two noble victims, Menotti and Bore111(a Barrister). were hanged yesterday, 26th, early in the morning. More than 1000 per ana have been arrested, and 1000, at least, are to be handed '.rer to the Courts. Add to this the emigration daily taking olace, and you may form an idea of the desolation of the :ountry. I have beheld my two unfortunate friends sus -?ended from the gallows. Every one expected that Menotti -mould be condemned; but it was thought his sentence would stave been commuted. No great reliance was to be placed to the humanity of the Duke ; but it was imagined that such :1011'018 could not be perpetrated in our age, and that the :teapot, on casting a view towards the future, might deem it prudent to forgive. As for Borelli, it is not known on what grounds* was condemned : his large property, and the ava rice of the Duke, can alone account for his sentence. Yes terday, at three o'clock in the morning, my servant came to inform me that one of the prisoners had found means to speak to me in secret, and that he wished to see me that mo ment. I was much surprised at this message, but what was my honor when one of the executioner's assistants entered my room, to tell me that Molt,' and Derail were about to be hanged, and that the &timer desired, as a last proof of my friendship, that I would be present at his execution, to re. ceive his last words, and bear testimony to his having died faithful to the cause of Italian liberty. I rose, and, trembling with terror, proceeded to the ramparts of the citadel. The sun was already shining on the gallows that had been secretly erected during the night ; a few country people and artisans, why were repairing to their daily labours, had stopped to look upon those sad preparations; no one uttered a word. Shortly after a murmur arose; it announced the approach of the mournful procession. I heard a man next me whisper Menotti . ' name—l 'coked round, and perceived him—he re cognized me. I could not lake my eyes off Menotti. What a serenity in his eounienauce ! flow dignified was his de meanour ! Ile ascended the scaffold, cast a look on the as sistants, and, turning towards me, spoke in a strong and firm voice the following words, which were his lest :—" Tbe cause of tyranny has no other support than that afforded by executioners and gibbets; the cause of freedom has on its side the force of opinion and the union of sentiments. The success of the later does not depend on the fate of indivi duals. 1 have done my ditty, and I descend into the grave free from remorse. I expected France would have inter fered; perhaps it is better that she did not. My death will teach the Italians to detest foreign intervention : they must place their sole confidedce in the strength of their own arms." Menotti spoke no more, and I rushed from the scene horror stricken. PORTUGAL._ A letter from d'Ata;jue;Contaia;the following The day before yesterday consternation was all at once spread in the palace. It was said that despatches arrived from Lisbon, announcing that on the approach of the French squadron, an insurrection had burst out in that city, that Don Miguel had fled, and that Donna Maria was proclaimed. I know that up to this moment no other despatch has arrived to confirm or contradict this news." Our correspondence from Lisbon, without announcing events so decisive, appear at least to presage them. The report spread at the Palace of Aran. juez was without doubt premature, but the despatches received from Pottugal 'gives reason to expect such a denouement. No doubt that if our squadron, in place of giving chime to some vessels stationed before the Azores, had blockaded Lisbon, and had threatened it with a serious attack, Don Miguel would have been overthrown by the population ris ing in that great city. But that would have provoked a popular revolution ! . . . However, in spite of the extreme precautions taken against that untoward event, we hope that the simple view of our flag will give to the oppressed Portu guese the signal of their deliverance. Should it be thus, how will Al. Casimir Perier justify before the Holy Alliance that involuntary act of Propagandism ?—Le Nohow!. PORTUGAL. FURTHER CAPTURES OP PORTUGUESE VES SELS BY THE FRENCH SQUADRON. Extract from the Agent to Lloyd's at Lisbon. dated the 13th of June : " We are sorry to announce the following captures by the French squadron : " The brig Constante, from Pan; the ship Nova Pa. carte, and the ship elicidade, from Pdaranham ; the Slid Sire des Roche Venietiors, from Madeira. " The St. Christo, from Fayal, was taken, but released. and sent in with prisoners from vessels taken. The above are the only ones which we can aseerain positively to have been detained, but reports state that others have fallen into their hands. As soon as we can give any certain informa tion, will lose no time in communicating it. " The British schooner, Providence, Clark, chartered by the Portuguese Government, sailed yesterday. It is said she is to cruize for homeward bound ships, to warn them of their danger, and to go to the western Islands, to ascertain what is going on there. The schooner Hiram, Gibson, en gaged by the Government for a similar purpose, has been de- tainetl by Captain Phillipps, of his Majesty's ship Ariadne. said to be caused by her not having proper clearances. "A Portuguese squadron, consisting of a line-of-battle ship, three heavy frigates, two corvettes, and two brigs, ale preparing for sea, with a dispatch quite unusual here ; but their destination is not known.

Nothing further has been allowed to transpire About the Belgic Negociation with Prince LEO POLD. Lord Possolt BY and General BELLIARD have left Brussels ; and the Belgians must fight It out with the Dutch, or yield to the conditions prescribed by the mediators. How differently ;Wm uEL treated the complaints of WILLIAM the FOURTH and Louis PHILIPPE! He knew his men, and acted accordingly. He could distinguish between an English broadside and a Perier goose-quill, and he has given quill for quill. The Brazilians appear to be rigtbt, for PEDRO and 111 icit: EL seem to understand one ano her. It is strange that Pena° should have passed !he Azores, where his subjects, or those of his .;:lughter, are fighting the family battles. Munich, however, is out of harm's way, and in the luxuries a that finest city in Europe, he may forget the onemus cares of Royalty. Perhaps he is that rare z,ing—a Portuguese philosopher—and proposes to 'hsplay his wisdom by his contempt of ambition.— May NI to tiEL soon join him in his retreat. Among the extracts which we are enabled to exclusively, this day, from the French Jour nals, we recommend the attention of our Readers to one, under the head " Poland," from the Cour rier Francais, not!cing a paragraph in La Ga zette d' Augsburg, relative to mediatorial nego• elation. between England, France, and Russia, for the protection of Poland. We give place to-day to a Polish Proclamation, of May 13, prepared previously to the expedition of SKRYZNECKI, and which has found its way into the French papers. It contains appeals to the patriotism of all the Polish Provinces, enslaved by Russian subalterns, in that nervous strain of elo quence which befits the cause in which this insulted people are engaged. The Government has also made an appeal to the Powers of Europe, subse quently to the battle of Ostrolenka, which has been so basely misrepresented in the Prussian, Dutch, and some London papers, the equivocal politics of which are well known to M M. PERIM]. and SEBASTI ANL In truth, retreat was the object of SK RYZ- N ECK I. He had no ulterior design to remain 100 miles from Praga. Whatever was the loss of the Russians, which every account makes enormous, it now appears, on the formal testimouy of the Polish Government, and on the indubitable honour of Prince CZ ARTORYSKI, that of the Poles did not exceed 2,000 men. We had previously named 3,000 on other Polish authority ; but the subsequent arrivals of stragglers may explain the difference. We think the Polish cause at this time stronger than ever; for although DIEBITSCII has advanced to Pultusk, yet it appears he has been obliged to divide his army to counteract the Lithuanians. The treachery of Prussia, in furnishing supplies, alone enables him to remain in Poland. Our Hypothesis published ten days since, that Admiral CODRINGTON is destined for the Baltic, receives confirmation from the opinions, and spe cial preparations at Portsmouth. We also infer something from Lord Joni; RUSSELL'S admission to the Cabinet, being aware of his Lordship's predi lections in favour of Liberty, abroad as well as at home. His various Parliamentary motions, in be half of struggling nations, are assurances to the Poles that they have an additional friend in the British Cabinet. Lord BROUGHAM, Lord JOHN R uss ELL, and some other Members of Administra tion, must, as friends of Liberty in general, feel, and be inclined to render political expediency subser vient to principles ; and we hope, therefore, that our irresistible naval power will for once be bene volently directed. We are glad to see a volume on Poland an nounced by Mr. FLETCHER, of Trinity College, Cambridge. Books on that country are scarce in our Language, and we shall avail ourselves of it for several days, in extracts which we are per suaded will gratify our readers. The meeting of Pa yesterday elicited DO subject of peculiar interest. Mr. MANNERS SUTTON was re-elected Speaker, with the una nimous concurrence of both parties. Mr. CHARLES WYNNE, in nominating him, took occasion to say something about fearful changes that were pend ing ; and about public excitement, meaning, per haps, that which he had himself witnessed in Montgomeryshire. This inclination of his pre judices did not, however, unfit him to be the mover, since be had himself been a candidate for the same office, and was the best qualified to appreciate its duties, and speak to their past fulfilment. Sir JAMES GRAHAM apologized for the absence of Lord ALTHORP, owing to the death of his mother ; and hence no public measure was brought forward, if such had been a previous intention. The Speaker is to be presented to the House of Lords to-day, and the Commons will then be constituted. The Houses of Lords and Commons met this day, and proceeded with the usual formalities, and swearing in the members. At two o'clock, a communication was made by the Lord CHAN CELLOR, in the presence of the Right Honourable CHARLES MANNERS SUTTON, intimating his MAJESTY'S approbation of the choice of that Gen tleman as Speaker of the House of Commons.

SPIRIT OP THE JOURNALS. HERALD.—The " Holy Alliance," thanks to the as sistance and co-operation of the Governments of England and France, thinks itself, no doubt, in a fair way to realize its dangerous and degrading ascendancy over the affairs of the Continent. When Mr. Canning found it his interest to court the support of public opinion, he shook its power by separating the councils of England from an unnatural coa lition with the Cabinets of despots, who have a common and deadly hatred against the liberties of all mankind, which is proclaimed in their protocols, and enforced by their bayonets. But the policy of the Holy Alliance received the shock of a greater power than that which Mr. Canning wielded against it. It was the French revolution of last July_ that reaction of public feeling against oppression made the fabric of Continental despotism tremble to its foundation. Its consequences threatened it with ruin. The despots made a common cause to avert those conse quence& by military force. France, threatened by the armies of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, was saved for the present by the revolution of Poland, and the insur rections in Italy the latter have been put down by Austrian bayonets, in the face of the delusive declara tion of the French Government to prevent all despotic interference with the internal affairs of independent States. —Under the "protection of Austrian legions, who have trampled liberty and the declaration of France into the dust, the executioner has shed the blood of the high minded Menotti, the distinguished Bora!, and hundreds of other patriots, whom the secret promises of France lured into resistance, and whom her shameless treachery left to their fate. The despots, in their triumphs, show no elispo.iron to profit by the example of mercy in punishing political offence,' welch the French people gave them in sparing the lives of the blood-guilty ex.blinisters of their late Bourbon tyrant. Fe rocious, vindictive, and sanguinary, they consider the power of extermination as the chief privilege of conquest. From the scaffold they proclaim their merciless doctrines by the voice of the headsman, and show that all generous examples, all lessons of humanity, are lost upon the regal conspirators against the fiefdom and civilisation of the human race. POST.—If it be said that many members of the Horse of Commons have pledged themeelver)o their constituents to support the reform bill of his Majesty's ministers, and that whatever change may have taken place in the public mind or in their own, they are bound to the literal fulfilment of their engagement, we answer that the man who, in un dertaking the duty of a legislator, promised to act the pelt of a slave, contracted one of those unfortunate obli gations which it would be a greater crime to fulfil than to violate ; and that the electors who extorted such a pledge have little right to expect that faith should be kept with them, since by that very act they vio lated the trust reposed in them by the Constitution, and in. vaded the rights of all the non-voting portion of their fellow. subjects, by electing, not legislators for an empire, but dele gates of a coterie. And we further answer, that nu principle can be more pernicious or absurd than that which permits a nation, in a fit of temporary delirium, to consign itself to certain and irretrievable ruin. Were we even to admit the Reform Bill to be the perfection of human wisdom—were we convinced that the electors of Great Bri tain and Ireland have been within the last two months in the soberest and most deliberate mood, still we should deem the doctrine of pledges, as it is advanced by the bigots of reform, a mischievous absurdity, since nations are not always wise, and it leaves to the nation no locus penitentio—no re. fuge from the effects of its own occasional and transitory folly. TlMES..—Poland, constituted on its late narrow basis, could neither secure its own independents, nor answer any good purpose in the balance of Eurepean states. It would be too weak for self-protection, and too dissatisfied with the contraction of its limits to allow repose to its neighbours. On the other band, the Emperor, if he succeeded in sepa rating its cause from that of the other provinces, which it had invited to revolt, would be disposed to curtail its rights, in or der to punish its hostility, if not to make it a dependent pro vince of his vast empire. The game at which the parti e s ar e now playing is, therefore, one which involves an exten sion of the Polish kingdom, or an annihilation of the Polish name. The address of the National Government to their brethren is an extremely noble, dignified, and spirited production. It describes the victories already gained, by the almost miraculous bravery of their troops, with a becoming pride ;—it recounts their oppressions like men who felt the indignity more than the suffering of their wrongs ;—and it does not disguise the fellowship of toil and danger to which it invites their brethren. or=monsereent Montreal papers to the 19th May, and Quebec to the 17th May, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The Montreal pa pers state that the intelligence of the defeat of the measure, introduced by the Ministers, to impose an additional duty on timber imported into Great Britain from the North American Colonies, was received at St. John's, New Brunswick, and other parts of the colonies, with the greatest satisfaction. A bonfire was kindled in King's-square, and loud demonstrations from all classes of citizens evinced the joy felt on the occasion. His Excellency the Governor in Chief and Lady, were daily expected in Montreal. The first imperfect and reluctant returns of the population of Great Britain in 1801, gave 10,942,646, to which, adding 10 per cent. for under -returns, the true population in 1801 would be 12 millions. The second enumeration, in 1811, gave 12,596,803, to which, 5 per cent. added, would be lel millions. The third gavel 4, 379,677, to which 2i per cent added, would be l 4 lions in 1821. This gives an increase of 2i mil lions in 20 years. Let us try this then by past times. Thus, in 1781, the population would have been but 91 millions. In 1761, but In 1741, but 5 millions. In 1721, but 4 millions. In 1701, but 31 millions. In 1681, but 2i millions. In 1661, but 21 millions. And, in the age of Eli sabeth, but one million. Hence this proves the fallacy of the past enumerations, and that no con clusion can be drawn from them. If Great Britain contained six millions in the age of Elizabeth, which is highly probable, then we get a doubling in about 260 years ; and probably we shall find that the returns of 1801 demand an addition of 1.5 per cent. instead of 10, as taken above, and which would give 12i instead of 12, or as then returned 10,942,646. SLEEP-WALKER.—A young man by the name of Isaac Chandler, residing in Fryeburg, State of , Maine, got up in his sleep, went about half a mile to a neighbour's barn, procured a cord and bundle, of hay, and carried them into the woods at a con siderable distance from the house. He then ascended a maple-tree with the cord and hay; after reaching a height of 28 feet, he then placed the hay in a crotch of the tree, ascended about six feet higher, tied the cord to a limb, and then fastened it round his ancles, after which he swung off head foremost, so that his head touched the top of the hay. In this horrid situation he awoke, and with his cries roused the nearest neighbours,who directed their course to the place whence the noise proceed ed. It was about the break of day when they arrived there, when to their astonishment they found the young man in the situation described, suspended by the heels 34 feet in the air. A number of attempts were made to climb the tree to extricate him, but it being large, without any limbs near the bottom, and the bark smooth, they proved ineffectual ; and he, after becoming composed enough to relieve his situation, recovered his for mer posture on the limb, from which he made his descent, loosened the cord and came down, much to the satisfaction of himself and friends. Since the above took place, be has been confined to his house in consequence of the lameness occasioned by the great exertions he must have made in ac complishing so curious . a midnight enterprise. There are more than twenty who can attest to the foregoing relation as strictly true.—Brunswick Herald. THE FRENCH PLAYS. Mademoiselle Taglionl, denominated par e.reellenee, " the Taglioni," was amongst the fashionable audience at the Adelphi Theatre on Monday evening, when Potter performed the cheracters of ilynlacer Vandefitd, in the vaudeville of 1.: Bourg vemestre de &ardent, and 3fonsieur Lewitt/le, in Le Beneficiare. The fair and accomplished dauseuse was seated in one of the front boxes, and, in the course of the evening, appeared to experience considerable annoyance at finding that she attracted general observation. At length Mademoiselle Taglioni was so disconcerted at the glasses levelled at her that she put on her bonnet, and did not again remove it. The entertainments gave great satisfaction, and went off ex tremely well. Indeed Potier is an accomplished master of the details of his art : his style of acting is highly natural and amusing. However much lie provokes his audience to laughter, his own mirth never extends beyond a smile. The arrival of M. Potter, who has again announced his intention of retiring from the stage at the close of his present engage. ment, is a great accession to the strength of the company, whose performances have hitherto been of a very inferior description. - THE QUEEN'S BALI. Her Majesty gave a grand ball on Monday even ing, at St. James's Palace, which was as numerously at. tended as the two former ones. The preparations for the fete were similar to those for the previous ball. The ball room and throne room were prepared fur dancing. In the former was a quadrille band, led by Collinet and Musard, which included several eminent performers, among whom were Messrs. Mori, Ella, Tolbecque, Rousselot, Bane, Platt, Arlon', Howell, Harper, Irwin, St.c. In the Throne Room was Mr. John ►►'cippert's quadrille band, composed of first. rate talent. Monsieur Micium officiated as Muter of the Ceremonies The company began to arrive at half-past nine, and continued setting down, without intermission, for two hours. The Duchess of Kent and the Prince of Leinengcn, attended by Lady Charlotte St. Maur and Sir John Como), arrived at the Palace about 10 o'clock. The Duke and Duchess of Cumberland, attended by Lady Sophia Lennox, Miss Cooper, Baron Linsengen, and Colonel Poten ; the Duke of Sussex ; and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, attended by Colonel Higgins, arrived at the Palace about the same time. Their Majesties, accompanied by the Landgra vine of Hesse Romberg ; the Princess Augusta, attended by Lady Mary Taylor and Bliss Wynyard ; and the other members of the Royal Family, entered the State-rooms at half-past four o'clock. His Majesty was habited in a Field-Marshal's rniform. The Queen's dress was of white and silver, striped with blue ; the head-dress was arrposed of a bandeau of diamonds. The company assembled then paid their respects to their Majesties, who were surrounded by the ladies and officers of their respective households. Lord Byron wasthe Lord in Waiting on the King. The Earl of Coventry was presented to the Queen by Earl Howe, her Majesty's Cham berlain. The company were then formed into sets for quadrilles, and dancing commenced. In the Throne-room dancing commenced with an entire new set of quadrilles. Gallopades, waltzes, and quadrilles, were danced alternately in both rooms during the evening, in the course of which Collinet's band performed in the presence of their Majesties a new set of quo:hales, composed for the occa sion, and arranged by Mr. lilusard on the favourite airs of Paganini. Their Majesties sat on a sofa on the platform at the east end of the Ball-room, the members of the Royal Family and the Ladies of the Foreign Ambassadors sitting on either side. The Duke of Brunswick sat near to the King and Queen, who frequently conversed with his High. ness, as did the titer members of the Royal Family. About one o'clock their Majesties and the Royal Family retired to supper in the Queen's re.idenee. Supper was served to the general company in the Banqueting-room, the Suite of tables in which were laid for 100 standing. Refreshments of every description, including the choicest fruits, were tastefully arranged throughout the whole range of tables. In the middle were numerous ornamental centre pieces of pastry, representing a lyre, harp, water-mill and fountain, Swiss hermitage, a cottage, an Egyptian fountain, and a variety of subjects. The Duchess of Rent and suite left about one o'clock. The Landgravine and the Duchess of Saxe Weimar remained, during the greater part of the evening, in the King's closet, where card panics were formed. Their Majesties and the Royal Family returned to the rooms after supper. The Queen, accompanied by the Duke of Sussex, promenaded through the rooms, and con versed with the numerous guests. His Majesty sat priori. pally during the night. Dancing wan resumed after supper, and was kept up with grist spirit till three o'clock, wheh the ball concluded with a Masourka. Where has Diebitach come to have his teeth drawn by the Poles ? Come, to Pull-tusk, to be sure. The Dutch Steamer brings accounts that the Russian head-quarters were still on the 4th at Os trolenka. On the sth, a report prevailed that General Kreutz had crossed the Vistula; but this required confirmation. Earl Grey and Lord Holland had audiences yes terday of the King. Prince Talleyrand, the French Ambassador, visited Viscount Palmerston yesterday at the Foreign Office. Lord Sefton, Lord Kinnaird, Lord Fingal!, Lord Leitrim, and the Right Hon. Agar Ellis, are to be created British peers. Mr. Bernal, the member for Rochester, will be proposed as Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means. It is not improbable that his Majesty may visit Hanover during the present year, as a motion made by a Member of the Lower or Second Chamber of that country was carried towards the close of last month by a majority of 34 out of 54 votes, for transmitting an address to his Ma jesty, soliciting him with the greatest earnestness to visit that portion of kis dominions. The expenses of the Cornwall election are esti mated at 30,0001. of which 12,0001. fall to the share of the successful, and 24,000 L to the unsuccessful Candidates.

The Grand Duchess Helena of Russia has ar rived off the English coast. A gentleman, who has just arrived in this coun try front Copenhagen, states, that the King of Denmark has given a Constitution to his subjects, and that it was pro claimed amidst their loud acclamations. The will of tho late Sir Joseph Yorke has been proved in Doctors' Commons. By it he gives a legacy of three hundred pounds to his wife, Lady Clanricaide, as also his house and furniture, at Ramble Rice, for life ; at her death, the house, furniture, &e. &c. to become the property of his eldest son, and he declares that he does not bequeath to his wife any larger sum, in conse quence of her being very amply provided for by marriage set tlement. After a few legacies to servants, he bequeaths the residue of his property amongst his five children, four sons and one daughter, and appoints three of his sonslexecuton.

A learned Judge, who shall be nameless, while trying a case during the last circuit, saw, just in front of him, a person wearing a hat.

Yesterday a moat numerous meeting of the o ffi cers of his Majesty's •Navy took place in the Thatched-house Tavern, for the purpose of considering what steps might be neces sary for the establishment of an institution destined f. or the education of the children of the Officers of his Majesty's Navy. Vice-Admiral Sir H. BLACK WOOD presided, and was sup ported by Lord Yarborough, Lord Vernon, Lord Manvers, Admiral Sit J. Martin, Admiral Sir T. Williams, Admiral Sir J. Rowley, Admiral Tollemache, Admiral Louth Et, Captain Beaufort, and a long list of other highly distin guished officers. After the minutes of a former preliminary meting 11311 been read and confirmed, a resolution we.' unanim. , usly carried, requesting the First Lord of the Admiralty to eJn. vep to his Majesty the thanks of the promoters of the institu tion for his gracious patronage. A great nu:nber of letters were then read, from offictrs of the Navy of every grade, promising warm support to the institution, and in almost every case enclosing subscriptions to meet the expenditure. A lengthened desultory conversation then took places res. petting the various modes deemed proper to be adopto.d for educating the children. Finally, a Committee, embracing Admirals Lambert and Mattin, and Captain Dickson was appointed to takethe subject into consideration, and to report to a meeting of the friends of the institution, to be held to morrow, and at which Admiral Blackw ood is again to preside. Admiral Tou.Exacuz was of opinion that the institu tion onght not to bear a strict analogy to the establig:tlicoots at Woolwich, Sandhurst, &c. Subscriptions to a lar ge amount were then entered into, and, after thanks to the Gallant Chairman, the meeting ad journed. STAPLES OF BRITISH COMMERCE. (THIS DAY.)
