..1 . 71 1 • 4 1 1 1 • . r r , A FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. EXCLUSIVE EXTRACTS FROM TILE CONTINENTAL PAPERS. PARIS, JULY 3. We announced, from the Journal de Mayence, the arrival of the Duchess of Berry in that city ; it. is an error. They write us from Frankfort that it does not allude to the mother of Henry V. but to the Queen Hortense.—Le Globe. A ietter from Vienna announces that the Duchess rf Berry, accompanied by two natural daughters of the Duke of Berry, will proceed towards Piedmont; whence she hopes to penetrate into the south, and unite the population there to those of Vendee. The Duchess of Berry has given sufficient proofs of courage and vivacity for us to suppose that she may have conceived such a plan ; but peculiar charac ters, such as hers, are mistaken upon the means, and allow themselves easily to be drawn into false hopes. It would be difficult now to raise a party in France in the name of the interests which she represents. If anything caneurpass now the hatred which is borne to disorder and anarchy, it is that which is inspired by a family who precipitated us into the embarrassments of the present situation, and who never counted upon maintaining or re placing itself, but upon foreign invasion and upon civil war.—Le Temps. There was no council of Ministers yesterday at St. Cloud. The Ministers remained at Paris and waited upon the King individually to present him their homages, after a month's absence. It Is to day that the Council is assembled. Nothing leas transpired of the nature of the discussions; only it was remarked that M. Sebastiani, who arrived at an early hour at St. Cloud appeared very much agitated. It is certain that the direc tion in which he has engaged our policy may become the object of grave accusations, and we believe that he understands so himself."—Journal du Commerce. It did not require very great sagacity to foresee 1 that Don Pedro would not make a long sojourn in France; and that England would soon take from us that Prince who was at our disposal. Every- I where, abroad as well as in Paris, we perceived in the arrival of Don Pedro, a means furnished by I fortune, to put an end to our differences about ' Miguel, deliver Portugal from the Monster, and I assure our preponderance over the Peninsula. 1 The English thought the same—since they • hastened to take Pedro away from us. Our statesmen alo e have not viewed the thing thus. The Anathema launched out upon ' the Buonaparte family, and we know not what de licate deference besides to foreign courts, made us keep the dethroned monarch in quarantine on our shores, who came to throw himself into our arms. More polite than us upon this occasion, the Eng- I lisp have received him with all those flattering dis tinctions which James 11. called " French hospi tidily." They have despatched gentlemen to him ; ' they have offered him a palace ; they have put ' his expenses to the account of the pubic trea- Bury: he is in fact the guest of England. But the ' grand law of that commercial Government is no thing for nothing. It is sufficient to read the Councils which the English Journals address to the Prince, to be assured that for England, Don Pedro is the key of the Tagus, as Leopold is the key of the Scheldt. It is again a crown which France cedes to her rival, because she calls her at this moment her ally.—La National. The King has returned : every step which brought him nearer to the capital, was a step to wards a political solution, whatever it may end in. It is not repose which Louis Philippe will find at the Palais Royal. After the bustle and discussions of his journey, he returns to the divisions, and I perhaps to the storms of the Council. Travelling does not advance the march of events. The Elec toral aim of the royal tour has failed : there re mains for the King's serious consideration the deve lopment of sentiment at Metz ; for the President of the Council the more serious chagrin of having been too long a time withdrawn from the part of active arbitrar of the Ministerial destinies. The mind of M. Perier usually bears down, with all I the force of his obstinate character, the opinion of the King ; the King being for the time removed f. om him, the influence was weakened ; and he lent an ear to other advice : hence, conviction was staggered, and gave place to doubt. ln this state of things, what will be the aspect of the Council at its first meeting ? That much boasted unity is de.-troyed ; the irritable President of the Council! ill see, face to face, the author of those warlike rumours which have shaken the Royal taith upon the safety of the pacific system. Explanations will be smart. M. Perier is not the man to submit to incompatibility of ten tioient, without demanding separation. A rupture appears imminent : the system has produced its fruits: the King will know that before all, he must jt:dge men by their works—tbings by their results. These works—these results— what are they ? Anarchy in principle—anarchy in exterior rela tions—anarchy in the streets. Power has sown anarchy every where—it fears all—has fear of foreigners—fear of liberty—because it has the fear the PEOPLE-of that heroic people who destroyed the restoration, and whom Power fears incessantly since it has become a quasi restoration.—La Revolution. POLAND. Count Paskewitach Erivinski, has quitted St. Petersburgh, charged, without doubt, to take the command of the Russian army in Poland. The Gazette d'Etat of Prussia, announces that this General arrived on the 21st of June, at Memel, by the steam-boat. the Journal keeps silent upon the ulterior destination of the Count Paskewitech. The Gazette Universelle d'Augsbourg asserts that General Yernieloff will replace Count Paskowitsch in the command of the army of the Caucasus. General Yermaloff has already had that command fit the period which preceded the late war against P :rsia. National. The Gazette d'Etat announces that Gen. Giel gud has reinforced his artillery with sixteen pieces, of which eight were taken from General Sacken ; the other eight he found with the patriots. Now that he has rejoined the Samogitians and a part of the Lithuanians, his forces are raised to 40,000 men. One half is directed upon Polangeu, and the other upon Vilna.—Gazette de Prusse. The news of Poland, arrived to-day, confirms all that which we said yesterday, upon the march of Generals Gielgud and Chlapowski upon %Vilna. It appears from the Gazette d'Etat, that the corps . of the army under the orders of the first of these Generals amounts to 40,000 men*, of w4ih the half has been directed by him upon Polaen, and the other upon the ancient capital of Lithuania, where they:will reunite themselves to the corps of Sierakowski and Dembenski. The letter which we gave yestbrday announced that these two chiefs reckowilth them nearly 50,000 soldiers, Poles and Patriots. If this is the case, Wilna will be attacked by nearly 80,000 men. We doubt whether it can resist forces so considerable. Once masters of that place, the Poles will find them selves absolute masters of the route of St. Peters burgh, and the Russian army will find itself en tirely deprived of its communications with the Ca pital, and the provinces of the centre of the empire. But, however important that position may be, that of Polangen promises to the cause of the Poles results still more fruitful. Placed nearly upon land, without issue, and closed on all parts by powerful enemies, they wanted a post where they could receive succours in provisions and ammunition, which has long since been prepared for them by the philanthropic sympathy of the greater part of the nations of Europe. The taking of Polangen will open them a port for the sending assistance from those nations friendly to the liberty of Poland, and will put them, in fact, in direct communication with the numerous admirers which they have created by their heroism and courage. Since the commencement of the war, the Poles have accustomed us so much to surprises, that we like to look upon this new success as probable. —La Revolution. BELGIUM. All is finished, say our unshrinking ministerial Journals : peace is conquered, war is avoided, Prince Leopold has accepted the Crown of Bel gium. But what are the conditions, if you please ? On condition that Belgium will confide entirely to England ; will give, to possess that which legiti mately belongs to her, all the money that England will council her to give, and even proposes to ad vance for her. On that account, we shall have a Court at Brussels ; Antwerp will be a free city, 'that is to say, English. At Maestricht andLux emhourg, in place of seeing float the flags of Prussia and Holland, we shall see float the standard and and arms of a new Prince manufactured in England. Mons and Namur will be no more under the Germanic Confederation, but will be taken up again directly by Great Britain, and the Duke of Wellington, in his ancient quality of inspector-general of the fortresses of the Holy Alliance upon our northern frontiers, will have the joy of coming to visit, for the security of the English Oligarchy, these formidable places which were raised with our money, and where be can pro mise himself to fall so easily upon Arras, Lille, and Peronne, at the first war with us.—National. ITALY. PIEDMONT, TURIN, JUNE 20.—The news of the alliance of Charles Albert with Austria is con firmed more and more ; it appears that the Pied montese contingent will be carried to 30,000 men, which will necessarily cause great expenses. The passage of the Simplon is free to the Austrians, and from all probabilities, the fortress of Alexandria will be delivered to them. It is said here that the Austrians will enter Piedmont on the 28th of the present month. All these on dits require con firmation. However, that which is very sure, is, that the King begins to lose the little popularity which the hope of real ameliorations had ac quired for him. The nobles detest 'him be cause that he is found liberal, the people turn their backs upon him because they see there is nothing good to be hoped from him, and the army is very discontented because he subjects them to fatiguing manoeuvres, without aim, without result, and with out recompense. Desertion augments daily in the troops, and discontent slips in every where. As to an amnesty, we think no more of it. Lately the 1 Gazette de Genes having reported the aganesty of the King of Naples, his Sardinian Majesty said haughtily, " The King of Naples has done very wrong."—Le Dauphinois. GERMANY. They write from Mayence, June 18th:—" New troops arrive continually in the Rhenish Provinces; a great part of these troops upon Hundsruck where at this moment is found especially much artillery. After the corps which are in West phalia shall have crossed the Rhine, the Prussian army will reckon 170,000 men. If to these is added the Dutch Army, 100,000 strong, and the Germanic contingencies, the allied army of the North will amount to more than 300,000 warriors. In the German Troops, especially amongst the Prussians, there prevails a warlike spirit which is manifested by songs of war. At the entrance of a regiment of Austrian Hulans, the inhabitance of Mayence heard with pleasure these military songs, is Lich awakened still more the martial spirit of the singers."— Gazette d'Au sbourg. I _ from Brazil filled the Court with consternation...- Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Leuchtenberg is said to have been almost beside herself.—Frank fort Papers, June 28. ST. PETER/BURGH, JUNE 18.—General Count Toll has sent the following details of the illness of Field Marshal Deibitsch "In the morning of the 28 th May (9th June) the Field Marshal had felt himself unwell, but during the whole day he ap peared to be in good health, had eaten, and seemed in good spirits as usual, and there was nothing that excited any apprehensions for his health. In the evening he went to bed at 10 o'clock, as be had been used to do for some days past He was soon called up to attend some business, and still ap peared quite well. About two o'clock in the morn ing he suddenly felt indisposed, and called to his at tendants, but forbade to awake any body, or even to fetch a physician : it was not till past 3 o'clock that finding himself grow worse, he ordered M. Schegel, physician in ordinary to the Emperor, to be called out, desired that nobody else should be disturbed ; when the doctor came he saw symp toms of cholera, which soon became very violent. The severe attacks which usually accompany this disorder, last several hours. The patient was immediately bled, leeches were applied, and very strong friction employed, in short no means that might afford relief, was neglected. The Field Marshal, retaining all his presence of mind, ordered every person, except the medical attendants, to' quit the room, for fear of their taking the contagion. About seven o'clock, the physicians snceeeded in producing perspiration, and the patient became rather more easy. Up to this moment the cramp had been but slight, and the pa tient suffered only from the alternate fits of shivering and burning heat. Between seven and eight o'clock, cramp commenced in the legs, and in the internal parts of the body, and the inter mitting pains, which seemed insupportable, con tinued till near ten o'clock, when the groans of the patient became less frequent,but his vital powers evi dently diminished : the breathing became more and more difficult, the patient soon fell into a kind of le thargy scarcely interrupted by the unfrequent mo tion of the head—the eye-sight failed : at a quar ter past 11 the irreparable loss which we have sustained took place. Divine Providence in its in scrutable decrees, bad deprived the army of its illustrious commander.—Journal of St. Peters burg, June 18. THE BELGIAN PROTEST. The following protest has been published in the newspapers, and forme the source of the observa tions of all classes, as containing the grounds of opposition to the reception of Prince Leopold as King : " Considering that by the terms of the Ist article of the Constitution the territory of Belgium comprehends the pro vinces of Antwerp. Brabant, West Flanders, Hainault, Liege, Limberg, Luxemburg, and Namur, with the excep tion of the telatlons of Luxemburg with the German Confe deration;—that according to the 80th article of the Consti tution the King does not take possession of the throne until after having taken the oath to maintain the nation'►] independence and the integrity of the territory;—that it was under those express conditions that the crown was offered to the Prince of Saxe Coburg ;—that, in reality, the decree of the 4th of June instant, contains textually the words—' that His Royal Highness Leopold George Christian Frederick, Prince of Coburg, la proclaimed King of the Belgians, on condition of accepting the constitution, such as it was decreed by the National Coupes, e—that the acceptance given by the Prince is subordinate to conditions diametrically opposite to the aforesaid arrangements, since he requires, before he comes to take possession of the throne, the previous adhesion of the Congress to sacrifices which would deprive Belgium of a part of her territory ;—that if, by an impossibility, the Congress should be able to lose sight of the object of its formation, to the point of consenting to the propositions offered to it by the five Powers, and to the decisions referred to by the Prince, it would follow that its election would be radially null, inas much as persons foreign to Belgium, thus mutilated, would have taken part as members of the Congress; the under. signed, as members of the National Congress of Belgium, protest solemnly against the introduction into delibera tion of any proposition which might tend to do injury to the integrity of the territory, such as was fixed by the Belgian Constitution ; they protest specially against all adhesion, directly or indirectly, to the protocols and propositions origi nating from the Conference of London. Acting thus, the undersigned solely follow the impulse of their conscience they are persuaded that they fulfil a sacred duty. The pre sent protest shall be deposed on the bureau of the Congress, to be read in public sitting.—Brussels, June 29, 1831."

GERMAN PAPERS.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) MAYLNCE, JUNE 18.—Fresh troops continue to arrive in the provinces on the Rhine. Many are concentrated in the Hundsruck, where there is at this moment a great quantity of artillery•, in particular when the corps in Wesphalia shall have completely crossed the Rhine, the Prussian army then will amount to 175,000 men. If we add to the Dutch army of 100,000 men, and the troops of the German Confederation, the Allied Army of the North may be estimated at 300,000 men. The Germans,especially the Prussian troops, shew great military ardour, which manifests itself in the martial songs of the soldiers, as they are on their march. With the exception of some individuals, actuated by personal interest and ignoble motives, the attachment to the French vanishes more and more among the inhabitants of the left bank of the Rhine, and a national feeling spreads in pro portion. Many renounce their former sen timents, and publicly express the more noble feeling that it is unbecoming a man who has a due sense of his own dignity to receive his welfare like alms from the hands of a stranger. Such a feeling, if it becomes general, must excite the most pleasing hopes in the patriotic friends of Germany. —Allgemeine Zeitung, June 28. STVTTGARD, JuxE 26. —Accounts from Jassy say that the cholera prevails in the two princi palities of Moldavia and Wallachia, and particu larly at Jassy. The King is going in a few days to Frederick's haven, where her Majesty the Queen now is. M UNICH, JUNE 23.—Our government has just appointed a Commission to deliberate on the mea sures to be taken against the cholera. This Com mission has already had one meeting. It has not yet been deemed necessary to establish a military cordon. - The foreign news has caused great sensation here. The intelligence of Don Pedro's departure EVENING STAR. LONDON. TUESDAY, JULY 5. Tho Estafette, from Paris this morning, has brought us a much greater quantity of continental intelligence than we can possibly make room for, without mutilating our reports of momentous do- mestic affairs. In a preceding column however, we have given a selection of such extracts as could not be properly deferred. We direct the at tention of our readers, in particular, to the reports of the movements of the Duchess of BERRY, which seem to create a great sen sation ; of the Anti-English opinions of the National with respect to the visit of Don PEDRO to this country ; and to some comments from La Revolution, on the probability of a rup ture between Louis PHILIPPE and his present Ministry. In other respects, the extracts from the various Continental Papers, which we this day quote, are important, as they convey to us the in disputable fact, of the warlike attitude of the seve ral countries—particularly of Austria and Prussia. A very interesting discussion took place yester day in the House of Lords relative to the re appointment of that truly honourable man, Mr. MICHAEL STOCKS, of Halifax, in the Commission of the West Riding. Many of our readers may remember the full statements which we gave in the STA a a few months since, of a most abominable prosecution got up against this gentleman, for an alleged perjury in a matter of account thirty-two years previously. We then recorded his prompt acquittal by direction of Mr. Justice LITTLE• DALE; but what rendered the whole a case of wickedness never to be forgotten, we gave copy from the Halifax paper, of a subsequent written confession of the prosecutor, that he had been seduced by others to make the charge. Since then we have been expecting to hear of these par ties being sent to New South Wales; and at length this debate informs us, that Mr. STOCKS has most properly been restored to the Commission, by the present excellent Chancellor. Lord HA REWOOD questioned the proprity of this conduct, since, as Lord Lieutenant, his previous acquiescence was matter of usual etiquette ; and in addition to the charge of perjury, his Lordship stated that Mr. Stocks had written a letter to the foreman of the Grand Jury giving, as appears, a true character of the prosecution, which letter seemed however, from misconception, to have produced an adverse effect ; for it was formally complained of in Court, and in conse quence Lord Lyndhurst struck Mr. Stocks out of the Commission. The CHANCELLOR defended himself with his usual acumen and eloquence, and at great length explained the usages of his office in such cases, from which he had in no respect deviated ; and he thought Mr. STOCKS' sensitiveness in writing to the Grand• Jury was a venial offence. He knew him only by report, and by the favourable testi monies of the whole county in which he resided ; and as to the charge itself he quoted the Judge LITTLEDALE (who sat beside the woolsack), in proof that a more unwarranted case could not have been brought before a court, and which, in truth, was no perjury, even if the fact itself of thirty-two years' standing had been proved. Lord LYN Dll CAST, with his usual energy went over the case, produced and read the original do cuments, and treated the unproven charge of per jury as inconsequential, compared with the letter to the Grand Jury, an act which he deemed so indecorous that he considered a Gentlemen unfit to be in the Commission who could be guilty of it. This was the sole cause of his having been struck out ; but he had uo doubt of the propriety of the act which restored him. Now, in the face of such high authority, we venture to state, that there is more of usage than reason, in this exclusion of defendants from Grand Juries. They are bound by their oath diligently to inquire, and true presentment make, not, as appears to us, of one side only, but of all sides ; and we take it on ourselves to say, that far more injustice and inconvenience arise from the ex-parte evidence before Grand Juries, than could arise from their literally fulfilling their oaths, and diligently inquiring from every source. This subject has been discussed by writers on Juries, and their conclusions would justify, or, at least, be an apology for Mr. STOCKS. We appeal to the common sense of all men, whether if any ho nourable man knew that a charge of an infa mous crime was maliciously trumped up against him, and was on hearing before a Grand Jury, if he tendered his own evidence, or counter evidence, could with reason (we say nothing of blind custom or usage) be refused by a Jury, bound by an oath diligently to inquire, and true presentment make ? This question is not made for this occasion, but is old and legitimate. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought it hard that such questions should be discussed in that House. Lord HAREWOOD justified what he had done— quoted offended persons in the Magistracy—and declared he had no personal hostility to Mr. &outs. The LORD CHANCELLOR declared him self at the time ignorant of the letter to the Jury, which was an impropriety that merited considera tion. The Duke of WELLINGTON justified Lord LYNDHURST, as acting under the letter to the Jury. The Duke then enquired whether the period of the Coronation was fixed with reference to its oaths; but Lord GREY said he had received no instructions. Lord WYNFORD'S Bill was read a second time without observation ; and the Irish Lord Lieute nant's Bill, after observations by Lord Mu: BOURNE, the Duke of WELLINGTON, and Earl GREY. The Horst of COMMONS was crowded by at tendance beyond all former example, so that a dis cussion arose about seats. Lord Joie RUSSELL, sans phrase, moved the second reading of the Reform Bill. Mr. Esrcou RT alluded to the obnoxious change, which had been introduced by Mr. GREG SON. Lord ALTHORP stated, that Mr. GREGSON had resisted the clause by direction of Ministers, who had since discovered the ill effect of it, and pro posed to correct it. He and Lord J. Russetr. ex culpated Mr. GREGSON, and it appeared to have been introduced in ignorance of the usage of rent ing, by direction of Ministers. Sir J. WALSH, in a repetition of arguments against the measure, moved as an amendment that the Bill be read this day six months. Mr. FYN ES CLINTON seconded this motion. SirJAMEB MACK INTOSII spoke at great length, and with bis usual elaboration in favour of the bill. Mr. BRUCE with great warmth opposed the Bill, as destructive of the Constitution. Mr. FERO USON spoke in favour of the Bill, and Lord PORCIIESTER at great length against it. Mr. GALLEY KNIGHT supported h, when at one o'clock Mr. DIJNDAS moved an adjournment. The Coroner's Inquest, whose verdict Justice has tardily waited, has separated without a decision. On this point there is a mistake in practice. Coro. ners' Inquests exist for general purposes, not solel } • as a step to criminal proceedings in cases of murder ; for if so, a man might boast of his murders after this incidental inquiry had become impossible In cases wherein no evidence of murder was obvious, a Coroner's Inquiry very ofit4 makes discoveries ; but the Law does not I pre-suppose the verdict of an inquest ; and if 0, murder would enjoy a shield possessed by no other crime. In this case we do not regret that no ver dict was given ; because prosecutions under it would have deprived Government of the merit of bringing the affair before a criminal tribunal, with the same energy as that with which they exert the laws in other cases. The evidence is before the world; every man can, therefore, give his own verdict, and so far the inquiry has been useful. It was fair, perhaps, to await the issue of this in. quest, because preliminary arrests might have been considered as prejudging the question, though such delicacy does not often attend charges of murder; and as the inquest might have negatived the accu sation, such arrests then might have been deemed vindictive. The Jury, however, leave the affair to Government and the ordinary Tribunals, and de cline to take on themselves the onus of a decision which either way would implicate so many of their neighbours. It appears that no riot act was read, and the story trumped up that one of the yeomanry was shot by the people, has been totally negatived by various evidence ; while the attempt to show that a countryman had a gun is refuted by the evi dence of the man himself, who states that he bor rowed it on his way home, after the slaughter, and for his personal security. At present there blood upon the land, and we need not quote the laws of GOD and Man, nor moralize on the sub ject. The public expect Government to do it duty ; and our respect for the men in power, rea ders us confident that they will do their ditty. ROYAL EXCHANGE, ONE O'CWCK.

' The proceedings of the Coroner s Inquest at Newtownbarry have closed in an extraordinary way. The Jury being divided in opinion as to , the conduct of the Magistracy and Yeomanry separated without coming to any decision. We give the fol lowing article from the Dublin Papers : The inquest on the persons who lost their lives in the me lancholy affray of Newtownbarry has terminated, if that can be called a termination where no decision has been come to— shere no verdict has been pronounced. After a prolonged and careful investigation of the facts of this unfortunate cecureence--after every effort had been made to exa mine fully and impartially every witness who could throw any light on the transaction, the Jury have been discharged in the hopelessress of any chance of their agree ing to a se-diet. Indeed they are represented, and we be lieve truly, to bold opinions quite at variance with each other, either parry (for even in Juries the fell spirit of party exercises its baneful influence) anxious to decide as their opinions and prejudices dictated. It will be re collected that in order to leave no doubt on the minds of the people of the perfect fairness with which the in vestigation was to be conducted, six Protestants and six Roman Catholics were selected by the Coroner to decide upon this most important investigation. Every facility was afforded by the production, examination, and cross-examins• tion of witnesses, to elicit the truth—the Magistrates and Gentry of the neighbourhood Intended in great numbers— an able and judicious King's Counsel was despatched by the Government to aid in the inquiry—notwithstanding which the persons composing the Jury are said to hold opt -s not only at variance with, but in direct opposition to, each other. Of course it is not for us to say which portion of them is right and which is wrong. The impropriety of arraigning the opinions of any set of men, who are sworn to decide truly and fairly a question submitted to their adjudication, is at all times obvious; and in so delicate and trying an occasion as the present we shall not be temped to do so. We refrained during the proceedings from giving an opinion which might go to prejudge a question which we had hoped to have seen dePitird by the proper tribunal. We regret that some decision has not been come to ; nevertheless we hope that the disagreement of th e jury on the coroner's in quest will not have the effect of preventing a trial before a tribunal. Informations can be received—the grand jury Can submit the case to trial. It is of the utmost importance that a decision should be ceme to, or at least be sought for, in order to satisfy the public mind of the true n a ture of the if transaction, and for notable reason, at least to put an end to the indiscreet and mischievous commentaries made by the factious partisans who take upon them to decide. Mr. Costelloe applied to the Coroner to know from him what he intends to do under these circumstances, and re ceived as an answer that he had written to Government for instructions, and until he bad received them he was deter mined to observe strict secrecy with regard to his intention. Mr. Costelloe soon after set out for Kilkenny, accompanied by the blessings of the poor people.'
