France has just lost one of those great men whose lives are models of consistency, and may be compared to beautiful dramas, where all the stages of the action are in harmony with each other. In his youth, in his riper years, and in his old age, M. Gregoire was always attached to the same things, to letters, philosophy, humanity, religion. The love of religion was the predominant feeling of his breast, and contributed not a little to keep alive that passion for liberty which the revolution of 1789 kindled within him. The study of public and private rights, the meditation of the doctrines of Christ, the great preacher of equality, and a deep knowledge of the history of the primitive church, had admirably prepared the Cure d'Embermenil for our political reformation; he may be said to have been a citizen before the French people had con quered that sacred name on the ruins of the Bastille. So early as 1778, an essay on the melioration of the political, physical, and moral condition of the Jews, had announced in NI. Gregoire a man superior to the maxims of intolerance and fanati cism. This production, bold and new in its nature, was received with favour by the clergy of France. At the same time he was active in promoting the education of his parishioners, both in a religious and agricultural point of view, giving them free ac cess to a library adapted to their intelligence and to their condition, which he sought to render more free and happy by increasing their knowledge. It was thus that M. Gregoire an:icipated, by more than half a century, the generous attempts made in our time to enlighten the popular mass, and di minish that inequality of civilization which, to the prejudice of liberty, places so great au intellectual distance between 'different parts of France. Gess ner, Ochs, Lavater, and other enlightened men, whom he visited in their respective countries, had been made the confidants of his philanthrophic views, and felt for him the highest esteem. This sentiment he had the good fortune to inspire to the most remarkable men of his ege, who never ceased to correspond with him as with the zealous friend of humanity. Perhaps there did not exist in all Europe, a re ligious body so moral and enlightaned, so humane and full of consolation for the poor, as what was then called in France the bas clerge: the curb; in particular were a chosen class, with whom the higher clergy, indulging in every pleasure, re laxed in their morals, greedy of distinctions and of riches, could not for an instant have sustained a comparison. The conduct of either class at the revolution was in accordance with the difference which existed in their moral condition. The grand dignitaries of the church fought for their privileges and their treasures, and even refused to succour royalty in peril, and save it from destruction. The inferior, the poor clergy, embraced the cane of the people and of the King against the Court, joining the generous citizens, who wished sin cerely to see the throne in alliance with liberty. France will never forget the noble devotion dis played by M. Gregoire on different occasions, at the meeting of the jeu de Paunte, on the 14th of July, and at the celebrated discussion on the civil constitution of the clergy. Rome, which has modified its doctrines to serve its ambition, and its still affected supremacy, may have condemned the principles of the Bishop of Blois ; but be who has sever ceased to appeal from a condemnation which be considered as unjust, will be acquitted at the tribunal of Reason, to whose su preme jurisdiction even pontiffs are subject. What has become of the pretensions, the maxims, the usurpations, the examples of the Gregories, the Alexanders,and the Sextnses? Reason has defeated and marked them with the stamp of eternal repro bation. Reason, whose rights are inalienable, has stripped these usurpers of the inviolability, the in fallibility with which they affected to surround their power, their relations, and their oracles. In the stormy scenes which succeeded the Con stituent Assembly, M. Gregoire, whatever his ac cusers may have asserted, displayed still greater courage. To give a faithful but brief summary of his conduct, under the Convention, he proposed the abolition of •the pain of death at the time of the trial of Louis XVI. requested that the King should be the first to benefit by the law, refused to sign a letter which called for his condemnation. He pro tested, with the greatest energy, at the very mo ment of the abdication of Gobel, that he would never abandon Christianity. Aided by Lakanal and others, he laid foundations for the re-establish ment of public instruction : he protected the mo • numents of the arts against the barbarism which seemed to have spread over some parts of France. Under the Directory, all his efforts tended to the re-establishment of religion ; he has himself proved, that four years before the famous concor date of Napoleon, the Christian worship had been restored in 32,000 parishes, and that, of the 8000 remaining, 4,000 were petitioning for the re-open ing of their Churches. Named a member of the Senate under the empire, he did not abjure the se verity of his principles, and, along with the Garats, the Lanjuinais, and a few others, offered in his conduct a striking contrast to the slavish submis sion of that assembly to the master whom it after wards betrayed. At the first restoration, M. Gregoire, faithful to his'prineiples, was for rejecting the Bourbons, until guarantees of liberty had been required and ob tained at their hands. In the great fault then eommitted of not re quiring from the Bourbons a formal declaration of their submission to liberty, which they would then no longer have looked upon as a gift of their mu nificence, which they might rt take at will, a fault which has caused so many evils, and has finally led to the irrevocable overthrew of the elder branch of the Bourbons, the Bishop of Blois did not par ticipate. Soon excluded from his Wshopric and from the institute which he had founded, M. Gregoire with drew to Auteuil, which Moliere, Boileau, and other celebrated men had successively chosen as their retreat. He was thence called by the free and unexpected choice of the electors of the here. The public are well acquainted with the new tribu lations to which this event subjected him, and with the act of ostracism inflicted on a delegate of the people, by an assembly which contained more than one member unworthy of a parallel with the vir tuous object of its enmity. Wise, but, perhaps, timid, and, as he thought, pusillanimous friends advised him to give up bis election. Such a re quest evinced but a slight knowledge of the fixity of his opinions, and the constancy of his cha racter. Instead of giving way to the storm be loudly protested against the coup d'etat, as a violation of the rights of the people. The Bishop of Blois has rendered many services to the cause of liberty in general, but one great trait marks his whole politi cal career. Ever since the Constituent Assembly, he never ceased reclaiming the emancipation of the blacks ; the independence of San Domingo was his work ; and the whole population of the blacks, when restored to the dignity of man, will ever celebrate in him the Las Cases of its liberty. In his illness and last moments, M. Gregoire re mained faithful to himself ; he died as he had lived, with a sense of personal dignity, conscientious in his actions as in his words, constant in the support of doctrines embraced from conviction, the friend of liberty, of humanity, and of religion. He leaves behind him many esteemed works, and a far greater number of good and noble ac tions. Mild in disposition, he was obstinate from conviction ; he was easy of access, and a sure and trusty friend ; his conversation was instructive — grave, and yet cheerful ; in his countenance, calm . _ and handsome, there was something singular in the turn and expression, which called to mind what 1 Saint Simon says of a certain air which distin guished Fhnelon amongst his cotemporaries. I CASE OF GENERAL DWERNICKI. (CiTILACT OF AY OFFICIAL LITIZZ rsou wsasAw.) It has, without doubt, come to your knowledge that the separate corps of General Dwernicki, which had signalized its entry into Volhynia by various successes, has been under the necessity of retiring into the Austrian States. You are aware that this brave warrior only had recourse to this last means of safety upon seeing himself sur rounded by the enemy, who, with forces eight times more numerous than his own, menaced hit troops with total destruction ; and you also know that the Russians could not have succeeded in turning him but by violating the Austrian territory, and thereby depriving the Polish General of the possibility of supporting himself upon the frontier of a neutral power. The Austrian authorities pre tended they did not understand that the Polish troops could not have been forced to seek an asy lum in Galicia if it were not for the aggressive violation of the Russians. Those authorities desired to enforce the rights and discharge the duties which the neutrality of the Austrian States seemed to impose upon them ; —they summoned General Dwernicki to lay down his arms. This intrepid warrior, though accus tomed to combat superior forces—though pre ferring to perish rather than lay down his arms —came to the opinion, upon serious reflection, that it was his duty rather to sacrifice him self than to seek his rarely in compromising the existing relations between Austria and the kingdom of Poland. These relations might be cousidered already compromised by the rigorous measures ' , which have been adopted towards our troops, if we did not attribute them rather to the timid and excels. ..ive seal of the local authorities than to the Govern ment of his Imperial and Apostolic Majesty. The Polish Government knows too well the equity and ex alted wisdom of the Emperor of Austria, and places too much reliance on the beneficence of his inten tions, to indulge for a moment in unjust suspicions. We still hope that, when the Austrian Go vernment shall have learned the real state of the question, and when the protests of the National Government shall have been received at Vienna, Elie Majesty will feel all the justice of it, and will not treat as prisoners of war those who would not have been under the necessity of seeking a refuge on his territory if the Russians had respected it. We ought, besides to add, that General Dwernicki has addressed the superior authorities of Galicia, and bad, in consequence, obtained for himself, and those along with him, the advantages of hospitality, and all the respect due to courage and misfortune. Such is the point of view in which we regard here the conduct that has been adopted towards General Dwernicki, as well as that which it is believed to be our duty to pursue. But what can be said of the audacity of the Rus:ian General, who has not re spected the inviolability of a neutral state, and who considered every means fair and proper to destroy an adversary whom he dreaded ? Although the withdrawal of the corps of General Dwernicki retards the progress of our success in Volhynia, and impedes for a moment the insurrec tion which has broken out there, it cannot have dis tressing consequences, nor exercise a fatal influence upon the principal operations of the General-in- Chief. 'Ti. with grief that we see ourselves deprived of the talents of an intrepid General, and of the courage of three battalions of infantry-- of two thousand cavalry— of five thousand stand of arms—and of sixteen pieces of cannon. His energy and his brilliant patriotism have pointed out to him the means of repairing this re verse. He has appealed to the devotion of the Poles, and has decreed the levy of eight regiments of infantry, which will be soon equipped and or ganised. It is thus that a nation which combats fora sacred cause is not discouraged by a reverse ; —on the contrary, it sees, in adverse affairs, only the duty of making additional sacrifices, and the oppor tunity of developing new resources with a more effective energy. May 10. POLAND. Ancient Poland, including Lithuania, contained 284.000 square miles, and 15,000,000 inhabitants. The partition of Poland between Russia, Austria, and Prussia, took place at three distinct epochs, 1772, 1793, and 1795, and the result or the whole was as follows : Square Miles. Population. To Austria .. 64,000 4,700,000 To Prussia .. 62,000 3,6410,000 To Russia ... 158,000 6,700,000 284,000 15,000,000 At the peace of Tilsit (July 1807) Buonaparte stripped Prussia of the greatest part of her Polish, 1 sions. Of these he gave a small portion to 17481 6 a, and erected the rest into a new state, cal led the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, which he as signed to the King of Saxony. In 1809, after vanquishing Austria in the field, he compelled her to cede part of Galicia to Russia, and another part to his new Grand Duchy. But all the ar rangements of Buonaparte were overturned by the disastrous campaign of 1812, the Russians reoc cupied Poland ; and the Congress of Vienna, while it decreed to Austria and Prussia a partial restitution of their late cessions, confirmed to Rus sia all the Polish and Lithuanian provinces ac quired before 1794, conferring on her, in addition the sovereignty of the central provinces, which constitute the present kingdom of Poland. Each of the three powers was enjoined by the Congress to give to its respective portion of Poland as free a constitution as circumstances should permit. The following table shows how the territory and population were divided between the three powers , at the Congress of Vienna: Square Miles. Population. To Prussia 29,000 ..1,800,000 To Austria Kingdom of Poland 47,000 —2,800,000 To Russia 178,000 8,900,000 284,000 16,000,000 The kingdom of Poland, as constituted at the black Congress of Vienna, is the seat of the pre sent revolution. It comprises the chief part of that which, from 1807 to 1813, formed the Duchy of Warsaw. It consists of the central provinces of ancient Poland, bounded all along its frontier by the respective acquisitions of Russia, Austria, and Prussia. Area 47,000 square miles. The popu lation at present is estimated at only 4,000,000. This country, though subject to the Sovereign of Russia, was to be governed in every respect as a separate monarchy. The regal dignity is vested in the Czar, represented by a viceroy, in whom, and in a cabinet of ministers, the executive govern ment resides. The religion of the majority is the Catholic. The Protestants of different sects are also numerous; and there are many members of the Greek church. The Jews are computed to form a seventh part of the whole populatiou. INDIAN CHOLERA. The new Magazine, The Englishman, to which the publicare already indebted for the most valu able lights and precautionary remarks upon this subject, introduces its number of the present month with the following avant propos to its readers : " Our darning of the approach of the Easton pestilence has been echoed by the press, which we trust will not Wacker,' in its endeavours to stimulate government to the adoption of the best precautionary measures. The disease is spreading in the contending armies in Poland, and numbers of the dia. heartened Russians deserting, pt °mate its seed.. The cholas is mid to have appeared at Brealaw and Stettin. By the latest accounts it was frightfully extending its ravages, and had penetrated into Austrian Galicia. The .German physicians expect to see it on the Rhine this summer.— What, then, is to prevent it from reaching the Thames in 1832, or even in the autumn of the present year ? Mer chant vessels are daily entering our ports ftom Dsntzic, Koningsbetg, Memel, Lichen, and Riga, and the existing quarantine regnktions, so far as passengers are concerned, are little better than a cover for bribety—certainly, totally inadequate to the accomplishment of their object. The ra pidity with which the distemper might travel to our shows, is exemplified by the fact, that a vessel called the Comet, Captain Webster, lately arrived at Dundee, from Memel, after a passage o f only eight days. " Eminent physicians of France, Germany, and Russia, pronounce the cholera to be contagious, and express their belief that it will extend throughout Western Europe. Some distinguished medical men are of opinion that it will pro duce a much greater mortality in the climate of Western and Southern Europe than has been experienced in the frigid temperature and prolonged winter of European Rus sia. The Governments of Prussia and Austria, alive to the enormous evil, establish a rigid *orders aanigaire i and, in conjunction with France, commission competent pr ofessional persons to examine, and report upon the character of the pestilence. There is little to hope from the conservative efforts of a Government so proverbially indifferent to science as that of Britain. Ordets in Council have been issued ; but, under the present quarantine system, these will prove a very in. sufficient security. In place of the quarantine officers, at three shillings per diem, soldiers of the line should be sub stituted—men much less accessible to a bribe. Why do not Ministers confer with the French and German Cabinets on the means most likely to bar the advances of this scourge of the globe ? Why not call a meeting of the medical men of London? Why not the heads of the profession them. selves assemble ? There is but one answer—from the peer to the pedlar—we are in such hot pursuit of the • main chance,' that we have no time either to • fear GOD ' or • re. gard man.' At the eleventh hour our rulers will bestir them. selves—when the panic is universal, and the lasar-house required." Though we do not participate to their full extent in the apprehension of the writer, we deem his opinions to be of value well deserving of all the publicity we can give them. Of two things we are quite certain—that there is danger, and that it is the duty, as, no doubt, it must be the inclination of Government, to guard against it. Nor can there be the smallest hesitation, we should think, with any one to admit that even exaggeration, in such case, is safer than indifference; and that it will be wiser to overrate the danger, and to multiply our safeguards, even to excess and minutia, than by disregarding the one and omitting the other, leave a possible door open by which this frightful cala mity can enter.—Morning Paper. ELECTION OF is On Friday the election of represent the Peers of Scotland , Picture-gallery, Holyrood-house. Peers present (Errol and Falkland), sons-in-law to our most gracious Sovereign, were among the num ber; and Viscountess Falkland, the King's daugh ter, graced the assembly with ber presence.

The Lists of the Earl of Mar, not being attested by sub scribing witnesses, was rejected. A protest against the te jection was, however, entered. The Earl of Stirling's vote was received by the clerks, under a protest by the Duke of Buccleuch and others. A protest from Mr. Goodinge Johnstone requested it to be entered on the minutes that he claimel a right to vote as Nlarquis of Annandale. When the votes had been taken and examined by the clerks, Mr. Ferguson announced 'hat the tullowing Peers were elected by the votes uodernoted. vit.—Marquis of Queensberry, 53 ; Marquis of Tweeddale, 47 ; Earl of Alor too, 45; Earl of Elgin, 43; Earl of Selkirk, 40 ; Earl of Home 39; Earl of Leven and Melville, 35; Vi sc ount Falkland, 31; Viscount Arbuthnot, 37; Viscount Strath. alien, 44; Lord Gray, 47; Lord Salmon, 44; Lord Forbes. 41; Lord Colville, 41; Lord Belhaven, 41 ; and Lord Napier, 35.

(minor), Abercorn, minor) galloway, Traquatr, Dailhou,ie (in India), Carnwath (i n India), Oundonald, Nortiiesk (do. ceased), &afield ; Lords Cathcart, Sinclair, Setripill, BLi.. tyre (minor), Fairfax (in America), Aston, Elibank (tninti:), and Durus—in all 19. In the evening a splendid dinner was provided in the Waterloo Tavern, where their Lonlehips dined with their ds—the Marquis of Queensberry in the chair, supported on his right by the Duke de Polignac, and on his kit by the Earl of Errol—Caledonian Mercury. (The change since last election is, bard 'Errol, a En 1•11 Peer, Lord Reethesk, deceased, and Lord Sinclair, who was sot a candidate on the present occasion.] The French Government is actively engaged is endeavouring to procure a majority in the new Chamber. The king labours to procure it, and the Ministers are not less anxious. Tte prefects and departmental officers are specially charged•to assist in obtaining this result. Never were exec tions equal to those now made resorted to inFrance to secure by undue influence the return of these members who constituted the majority of the last Chamber. But all these efforts will be useless ; France demands nct merely present liberty, bat seccrity for the future ; while the estabi.ishtutnt and success of the popular a - ssucia;iuns dethen strata that, if the people could return the Deputies, the millions would send those who were for march ing with the revolution. But even the selections under the new law, who consist of all the Aristo cracy of France, and of a very small porticn of the Democracy, appear, according to the carres pondence from the departments, to be animated be a similar spirit. Of course, in sonic districts, the elections will be decidedly ministerial, and royahst. But the great mass 9f the electors are resolved pn returning men who will nett adopt the system of peace at all hazards. The Socit aide-toi, ells Ciel eaidera, is entitled to unbounded coefitl;nce and gratitude. It is labouring night and d.y to point out to the electors suitable candidates for tech arrondissement—the wants and the position .of 'France—and the duties of electors. It was this Society which ensured the re *faction of the 2,21 who voted " the insolent Address" to Chariett,X. —and its members are again confident of pro curing the return of a truly patriotic and national Chamber. Should it fail, it will urge France to petition for a new and more emended system of representation, which shall embody all interests and represent all ages and all parties.—Franett has only to imitate England, and their Chamber like our Parliament will then be worthy of the age. GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF A REVOLUIio- NARY TRIBUNAL.—At length, on Tuesday, at one in the morning, after enduring for 31 hours an agony more terrible than death itself—after hav ing drunk a thousand and a thousand times The cup of bitterness, the door of my prison was throWn open—my name was pronounced—l followed.— Three men seized me and pla;:ed me before my ter rible judges. By the flaring light of two torches I beheld the tribunal which was to give me death.— The President, dressed in a gray coat, and rearing a sabre, was leaning on a table covered with pAters an escrutoir, pipes and bottles. The table — Was surrounded by 10 persons, some standing, some seated, two of whom were in waistcoats only, and wore aprons; others were extended on the benches fast asleep. The door was kept by two men. sword in hand, in shirts stained with blood ; an el derly turnkey kept his hand incessantly on the bolts. Three persons in front of the President held a prisoner of about 60 years of age. I was seated in a corner; my guards placed their satires across my breast, and warned me that if I in ! lde the slightest attempt to stir they would poniard me Immediately. I looked on all sides for my Pro vençal friend. I saw two National Guartht ffle sent a reclamation from the section of Croix Rouge, in favour of the accused, before the P,iftsi dent: He replied. " These solicitations are Rae , behalf of tes;•- - -11 44 • less in behalf of traitors." 'lle prisoner cried, " It is horrible— our judgment is .a these aisassina- lion." the President said, " Mylands are wash- ed of it—lead out M. Maple." He wai,puahed into the street, where I saw him inaesacriil while the door was yet open. Toe 'President sat kwa ? t i apparently to reinter the nima ot Le unforttinate man just .destittchil.
