LONDON. --..- TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22. His MAJESTY holds a Levee this day at St. James's Palace. A commercial gentleman, who arrived from Amsterdam on Saturday night, and upon whose authority great reliance may be placed, states, that the Dutch are in a state of active preparation for hostilities —having organised an army of seventy thousand men, besides reinforcements of about ten thousand Swiss troops, who came to Holland in detachments of 200 and 300 men at a time. These forces are exercised daily ; and such is the confidence with which they are in spired, that nothing would now seem more satisfactory to them, than an attempt to redeem their lost character in a coi.ilict with the Belgians. The latest news from Warsaw announce, that already the French Consul, M. DURAND, was making preparations for quitting Warsaw; he gave, for the motive of his departure,' the declaration in which the Diet pronounced the fall of the Emperor NicnoLns, and of the House of ROMANOFF in 71 Loral. The National Government has quitted Warsaw, .tud is established in the camp of the active army, near Sicela, at about thirty leagues from the capital. There are well authenticated accounts this morning in twn, confirmatory of a passage in the French Papers, f0r ,•,?,;-ded to us by our Paris correspondent, stating that deter mined insurrectionary movements have taken place in the Tyrol ; and that the celebrated HOFF): ER directs them.— These have already proved cf so serious a nature, that true; have been detached from Milan, to watch and coun teract their operations. It is likewise affirmed, on the maim ity of a letter from Munich, that the Austrians elo•;ing in, more and more, on the Bavarian frontiers ; 'it:d it appears that from forty to fifty thousand men are :Iced en echelon in Saltzburgh, the Tyrol, and the Princi pality of Voralberg ; so that they menace, at the same time, S , .vitzerland and Bavaria. Another corps advances on the , ic!e of Bohemia. For these facts, the French paper before us quotes a new Italian Journal, called /1 Precursors, printed at Bologna, by the patriots ; and which had adopted the following motto:—" If you would be free, commence I 'y being just." The news from Paris, by the arrivals of this morning, may 1,, cLaracterized as more tranquil, and less alarming than ;light have been apprehended ; but still, the state of Paris v%naot be considered satisfactory. Those who view the late ci. tilibances, with discrimination, can have but faint hopes, that the present Ministers will be able to keep their places ; and, at the same time, preserve that honourable, and pacific line of international policy, which the present KING of France has prescribed for his country. The mili cal). mania, so consonant to the national character of the French people, and so inveterately contagious when there are not existing other means of enterprize and subsistence, :las been artificially stimulated by the late political events. The whole youth of France are in arms, and the ambitious imagination is active, in pourtraying nothing but the glory, to which the high road of military enterprise, in revolu- 1 •:onary times, has been known occasionally to lead the l•pirant, who is bold enough to take it; and of such are the autio;ity of the young French. From the (Juliet faction, A. its machinations, there is no danger to be apprehended ; hut if the King of FRANCE will attempt to restrain his fiery subjects, from the course of military ambition, which he lisely and virtuously may believe, will only produce present 'mu - ors and future humiliation, then the Republican faction '',; at cry day gain influence ; and ultimately, in all probe lacy, obtain the ascendancy. War, we fear, is the destiny of the French ; and a question arises, which we conceive is not now excluded from the meditation of King PHlLLlP— whether he should not give way to the national propensity, or relinquish a throne which is uneasy and insecure to occupy. The intermediate course which the last transactions would indicate him as inclined to adopt, of soothing every popular explosion by compliance, is, it is to be apprehended, but feeding the fire he would extinguish. We hope he will have firmness enough, to repress the tendency to revolutionaty anarchy ; for all Europe suffers by the misconduct of the French populace, at the present moment; and the triumph of an a la lanterns mob in Paris, would do more in favour of the anti-reform party, even in England, than any event which could occur. The debates last night were in better accord with the feelings of the country, than some which we have lately had to notice. The topics in the Lords were, the treaties which secure to Portugal a preference of her wines, in re turn for her preference of our •woollons—said to be violated by the proposed equalization of wine duties. The Parish Union Law in Ireland, under which it ap peared that the Archbishop of Dublin had united no less than four livings in favour of his own son, who, over and above, was Rector of St. Johns, held two Prebendaries, and an A rch deanery ; yet Lord FA RIM tM complained of a conspiracy against the Protestant Church of Ireland. The late minori ties on the former question, appeared in full array against the present Ministers ; and some neutral men, as Lords STAN HOPE and STRANOYORD, declared their opinion, that the proposed change was a violation of the Methuen Treaty which has so long united the two countries. On the other side, the poisoning and adulterating system of the Royal Oporto Wine Company was enforced with effect. In the House of Commons, petitions poured in ; and one of the most important was that from the City of London against the Bankrupt Courts, which, though signed by 4,500 persons, by a strange lapse, was without a prayer, and therefore rejected as informal. It was stated, that within the Sessions, some change is intended ; but whe ther in principle or form did not appear, for the forms only were spoken of ; whereas the vice is in the principle which no mere change of form can amend. A long and spirited debate occurred on the motion for a Committee of Supply, and also in the Committee, which lasted till nearly two o'clock. Sir J. GRAHAM was so in discreet as to explain, that in a former debate he had applied the term Demagogue to Mr. O'CoNxEm., which led to an announcement of that gentlemen that he would, this evening, address the House on his conduct and position. Lord ALTIIORP gave notice, that he had commuted the proposed duty on cotton, by taking off the former ad va/o rens duty, and establishing a general duty of five-eighths of a penny per lb. The Marquis of CNA NDON, who had in the afternoon pre aided at a great meeting of West India Merchants, then demanded some concessions to that suffering interest, and moved a declaration on the subject. Mr. P. Titomrsow maintained, that no relief could be afforded beyond the re duction of the dutiies on coals and candles, and resisted a proposed bounty of 58. 3d. per cwt. on West India Sugars, as contrary to the theories of Husxtssow. Mr. ROBIN sox illustrated the subject by his great practical knowledge, and argued in favour of relief. Lord ALTHORP lamented the distress, and suggested a Committee to inquire and report. Mr. Humz stated the abominable fact, that 75,0001. assessed on sugar in the islands, cost 68,0001. in the collection. Mr. BERNAL replied to Mr. THOMPSON, and urged immediate attention to the subject. Sir R. PEEL thought Government ought not to be embarrassed ; and that the revenue would not admit of further concessions. The motion was then withdrawn. In the committee, the increase of the estimates appeared to be 136,0001. in the army, and 72,0001. in the volunteers, and that the number of regulars were to be 88,496. Col. Deo/ is proposed a committee, alleging that in 1821, there were but 81,106 men ; and in the year 1822, but 73,000. Mr. BEAUMONT and Mr. ►STANLEY al luded to Ireland as a cause ; which drew some severe animadversions from Mr. O'CoNN ELL, who contended that the expensive volunteers were armed partizans. Mr. HUME stated that 15,000 of the 88,000 were Officers, and opposed the extravagant vote, as tending to encourage foreign interference. Mr. HUNT closed the dis cussion, by moving, that instead of 88,000 only 71,000 men should be granted ; on this a division took place-250 to 6 ! Afterwards, Mr. HOEHOUSE carried his Vestry Bill through a stage; but not without opposition, since it ili - tated against the arbitrary provisions of Bourne'; Act. Mr. HUGHES then obtained returns of the number and amount of Sinecures, which, when it appears, the public will con sider as valuable. POLAND. We have the Allgemeine Zeitung of the 15th and 16th inst. this morning; in which we find the following passages confirmatory of the rapid advance of the Russians into Po land, and the equally rapid retreat of the Poles, which we announced for several days. Warsaw, it is affirmed, would soon be declared in a state of siege ; and the Polish patriots seem not to have a friend in the world to render them the slightest aid : WARSAW, FES. 7. The day before yesterday the Russians passed the frontiers at five places, Uscilug, Brsesc, Oranoe, Tykocin, and Angusto. Hitherto there are only cossacks, who mask the movements of the army r only at Mello', some dragoons have entered belonging to the corps of General Geismar; his design seems to be to invest Zama., and to advance into the plain country beyond the Vist u la. Th e R uss i an ma i n army a d vances in the line from Louisa and Brsesc. Up to this time there lino account of any fighting, for there were no troops on any part of the frontier. The first outpost. of our army are three leagues from Sledlce , towards Bruise, and in the line towards lionise ; they are at Ostrolnika. Mr. Schmidt, the Prussian Consul, asked for passports to leave the city, as soon as he learnt that the Russians had entered the kingdom. M. Barsykowskl„ a member of the National Government, and Count Gustavus Malachowski, one of the Ministers, go to the army, in order to regulate, without dela , all unjust civil matters. The peasantry fiy from the frontiers; the Couacb take from them all their cattle and provisions. More dread is felt here of the diseases which are said to pre. veil in the Russian army, than of the Russians themselves. They are de. scribed as inflammatory fevers, which carry off great numbers of men. The hospitals at Grodno, Bialystock, and Luck, are said to be crowded. On the 31st Jan. many wounded Russians were brought to °redo°. It was reported, on what authority I know not, that two regiments bad quarrelled, and fired on each other. The cause is said to have been that It was intended to remove some officers who were supposed to entertain liberal Ideas, that the soldiers . resisted this measure, and Count Diebitsch ordered soother regiment totting them to obedience. A great battle is expected by the 12th bat. at farthest. Warsaw will soon be declared in a state of siege ; the cannon are already placed on the ramparts. It was not believed that Count Diaries& would ester now, because if the first attack does not succeed he in curs great danger. The thaw sets in—the ice will disappear--the rivers will overflow, and the low ground in which he acts will become a complete morass. His army advancing against us amounts to about 160,000 men. At present we have to oppose him only 87.000 men in the field, and the patriotism of our people. The seventeen new regi ments of infantry are not yet organized. Tne organisation of the cavalry is more advanced, and it will be complete, and ready to take the field, in a fottnight. VIENNA. Four per Cent. Feb. 10. Feb. 11. .. ... 781 Bank Shares ... • ... 1016 ... 1021 Allgemeine Zeitung, Feb. lb and 16. ITALY. The subjoined communication from Bologna, dated the Bth Feb. affords a few more particulars to those details which we have, from time to time, placed before the public, on the subject of the patriotic movements in Italy. The letter we now present will be read with interest : IRON ITALIAN SWITSIALAND, Fa'. 11.—We have before us a letter, dated Bologna, Feb. 8, w hi c h g i ves t h e f o ll ow i ng d eta il s o f sc . rious disturbances in that city : " For some weeks a fermentation in peoples' minds ha 4 been ob. ' served, which was kept up by proclamations secretly distributed by' meetings in the coffee houses, &c. The absence of the Archbishop, who was at the Conclave in Rome, and the smallness of the garrison— , not more than 700 infantry, and 80 cavalry, in a city with 70,000 in.: habitants, seemed to encourage the agitators. " On the 4th, a report was spread that Modena was in a state of complete insurrection, and that the citizens were fighting with the soldiers. When the mail, which arrived towards the evening, confirmed this report the conspiracy broke out here. A great number of young men assembled in the coffee.housee. Several speakers ad. dressed them, and especially exhorted them not to stain their arm with useless murders. The young men took an oath to this effixt, and en. gaged to risk every thing for the freedom of Italy. The Pro-legate hastily assembled the principal nobility, and the most eminent citizens to deliberate with them on the danger that threatened. While lie was deliberating with them, about midnight, the young men advanced in arms towards the palace. The terrified Pro-legate had already givcn orders to the little garrison to remain pa.sive, from a fear that military aid would be of no avail as the conspiracy was so widely extended. The young men who were prepared for a serious resistance, did not even Ind a sentinel on duty at the Palace. They hereupon required the Pro.legate to sign a paper, by which he resigned the administration to a Provisional Government. lie at first refused, but the increasing tumult without doors and threat to throw him ot.t of the window If he persisted in his refusal, soon obliged him to yield , to the demands of the insurgents. By the document all the troops of the legation were placed under the Provisional Government. On, the following day, (February 5), the pro-legate, and the dis missed Colonel of the troop of the line, set out with an escort to Florence. In all these transactions, not a drop of blood was spilt. On the sth, early in the morning, the courier ar. rived from Rome, with the news of the election of the Pope : be was quite astonished to find the city illuminated, and the citizens rejoicing in the streets, till it was explained to him what all thi s meant . li e bad the more reason to be surprised, as the Archbishop had affirmed at Rome, that he would be answerable for his flock." It is added, in a postscript--" We have jest learned that Ferrara, and the Marsh of Ancona, had followed the example of lo g n a . Th e D u k e of 3lodena has left his Duchy. It Is said that an insurrection is ex pected to take place to-morrow in Parma and Piacenza." CITY, ONE O'CLOCIG The express from Paris this morning, states that all was quiet in the above capital. The Chamber of Deputies was to resume its sitting on Sunday. A partial change in the Ministry is expected. Consols, which left off yesterday 791, opened at the same price, but have receded to 781 for the account. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The distillers last night have put 3d. per gallon on British spirits, in consequence of which considerable business has been done in the Rum Market to-day. The Consol Market continues heavy, and the lowest Console have been done at, during the morning, was 781 for April account, and 78i for the account; at present they are 781 79. In the Foreign Market not a bargain doing. ARRIVAL OF THEIR MAJESTIES. Their Majesties, accompanied by the Landgravine of Hesse Romberg, the Princess Augusta, and Prince George of Cambridge, left the Palace at Brighton, about 11 o'clock yesterday morning, attended by their suite, in four carriages and four for London. Their Majesties came by the Sutton road, through Clapham, and over Vauxhall-bridge, and ar rived at the King's Palace, St. James's, at a quarter past 4 o'clock. The King, the Queen, the Landgraline, and Prince George of Cambridge, entered the Palace at the garden gate, the Landgravine proceeded to the apartments which were occupied by the late Queen of Wirtemberg. The Princess Augusta alighted at her own residence, which joins that of the Queen. A number of persons were collected in the Park, to greet their Majesties and the members of the Royal Family on their return to town. THE KING'S COURT. BRIGHTON, FEB. 21.—Their MAJESTIES, this morning, in a carriage and four with two out-riders, took their departure from the Palace. The Royal carriage was immediately fol lowed by several others containing the royal princes and suite. The departure of their Majesties has caused infinite regre to the inhabitants and visiters of Brighton t SIR JAMES GRAHAM AND O'GORMAN MAHON. Lord Althorp, on the part of Sir James Graham, and Major Macnamara, on the part of O'Gorman Mahon, meet and agree to the following statement: " Major Macnamara called yesterday on Sir James Graham, when he told Sir James that he came in courtsey to ask whether, in using the word demagogues,' he had intended to allude to O'Gorman illabon ? Sir James, in answer, said that at the moment he used the word, O'Gorman Mahon was not in his contemplation : he was sitting behind him, and he did not see him, or thick of him at all. "Upon Major Dlacnamsra asking Sir James if he would make this declaration in the House of Commons, Sir James said, before he agreed to that, he must consult a friend, to whom he would refer Major Macnamara. _______ "He accordingly consulted Lord Althorp, and it is the opinion of Lord Althorp that he ought to make it. " And 11 is the opinion of Major Macnatnara that such a declaration in the House of Commons ought to be sathfaetory to O'Honnan klalsou " A LTHORP. London, Feb. 10- " W. N. lIIACNAMARA." Prince Leopold left the Palace at Brighton yesterday morning, for his residence at Claremont. The Duchess of Cumberland visited the Duchess of Glo cester yesterday.

About the middle of March their Majesties will go in state to the i King's Theatre. SPIRIT OP THE JOURNALS. Tritzs.—ln the course ofhis speech on Friday, the Minister of the Interior read, in the Chamber, a document which he seemed to consider as a letter of instructions from the curt of Holyrood.house to their partisans in Paris, exciting the latter to continue the agitation, and suggesting the means of doing it with the greatest sucenss. That lever (the substance of which was given in the Star some days since). desires a party or parties unkewn to excite to war on the iron. tiers—to create distrust in the interior—to widen the breach between the capital and the ptovirces,—to propagate falsehood respecting the intentions of the King,—in short, to keep alive discontent, exasperate faction, and to promote anarchy, that the people may be induced to re gret the expulsion of Charles X. and as a means of security to recall his grandson Henry V. with the white flag. This plan is extremely plausible, and on that account its adoption by the Royalists may be more easily believed. If the Bourbons could accomplish their ob ject by creating confusion, chaos itself would be a scene of order compared with the anarchy which they would attempt to produce.-- When we hear of letters directing the royalists to push on the republi can party, in order to create confusion by which the exiled family shay profit, we ate tempted to ask who are to be the agents and who the dupes of such manoeuvre? It is evident that a Carlist could not in his own name canvass the fauxbourgs for vagabonds to pull down crosses and fintr-de-iis; and it is as evident that these ruffians did not require instigation. It will be remembered that in the first revolution the excesses of the Paris populace were ascribed to the gold of 'itt, as the sacrilegious violence of the late mobs are attributed by the Minister of the Interior to the instructions of the ex King. We believe that the desperate faction attached to the fur • tunes of the young Duke of Bordeaux would perpetrate any enomilty, however injurious to their country, to recover their lost power ; but their means must be better adapted to their object than in these instructions. It is not imposible that a mystification has been practised on the Mini-- ter of the Interior on the present occasion, as upon M. Persil and N. Lafitte during the troubles of December. HERALD.—In the sitting of the 18th the Minister of the Interior entered into an elaborate defence of his conduct, which he justified by showing that the mere announcement of a religious ceremory at the cha. pel of St. Germain l'Auxerrois would not have justified him in filling the church with the police, and that, when the danger became imminent, lie was not wanting in zeal or vigour in repressing it. He asked,--why did not the Prefect of the Seine interfere ? M. Oilillon Barrot sharply replied, that it was not his business, that he had received no instruc tions, and that he believed the government had no wish to consult him. or, really, to put down the disturbances. M. Montalivet, upon this, ch.,. , claimed Carlistn, and again justified himself. In the course of the dis cussion he read a letter supposed to have been issued from Holyrood House, containing instructions for the conduct of the partisans of the exiled family, enjoining them to " agitate" incessantly.— These sundry differences in the Government, have led to a con fident belief of an immediate change of Ministers ; and some con. sidemble disappointment was expressed that the Moiailcur did . not contain the new appointments on Saturday morning. The effect of the change, it is said, will be to replace M. 31ontalivet, by AI. °Alton Barrot, in the Ministry of the Interior, and M. Baude, as Nlinister of Police, by M. Real. The attack upon M. Dupin's house on Tuesday by the mob is thought :to be connected with the share which that De. ' puty had in procuring the dismissal of General Lafayette from the Command.in-Chief of the National Guard, and the immediate return of the veteran to his former post. The adoption of a more liberal elec. tion law, and the dissolution of the Chamber, are expected as the chief fruits of the late revolution. anci NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Mums Altman Tuts DAV.—Dublin.

On Tuesday night last, a large hurdle pile at Andover was destroy ed; and on the same night a farm at Cru% Easton was burnt, and property to the amount of 3001. destroyed. During the night of Saturday last, a fire broke out in the farm-yard of Mr. William Halcombe, of Hungerford, which entirely destroyed the farm-buildings, stock, and a cottage house. The loss is very great. A third visitation of incendiarism has taken place in the palish of Farebam, in the destruction of a barley rick be longing to Mr. Godwin, of East Cams. At half-past three o'cleck on Tuesday morning, Colonel Hawker's farm, near Andover, was discovered to be on fire, and it was not completely subdued till four in the afternoon ; in the course of which time property to the amount of eight hundred pounds was reduced to ashes, including barns, gra naries, hay-ricks, implements, &c. The horses were fortu nately saved, but a large quantity of poultry was burnt alive. It was the act of an incendiary. Monday night last, between the hours of twelve and one, a fire broke out in a barn in the possession of Mr. Vidler, of Pcpbaro, which consumed three barns, an out-house, two wheat ricks, 0110 barley and one bean rick, and a mow full of clover hay, besides a quantity of wheat and barley ready 'threshed. The true cause of the fire has not been ascer tained, some thinking that it was occasioned by some hot lime that was deposited in the out-house, whilst others affirm it was the act of an incendiary. All the poultry about the farm yard was also burnt. About one o'clock on Sunday morning, an incendiary fire was discovered in the rick-yard of Mr. Deane. at Stoke Row, near Henley, which consumed an oat-rick of about GO quarters and one of hay about 30 tons. The property uas insured in the British Fire-office.—Reading Mercury, Tuesday night, a very alarming fire broke out in the ware house of the flour and bread concern (immediately behind the shop) in the Horse Fair, and close adjoining one side of the Upper Arcade, Bristol. It was discovered in the bake house, on o?ening the door of which the flames burst forth in a large column, reel ignited an immense faggot pile, wi.ich burnt with great rapidity. The floor of a room, in which there were from three hundred to four hundred sacks of flour, soon gave way, and the flame was in some measure stifled, and its further rrogress arrested. Sunday night, a fire was discovered on the property of Mr. Wilkins, near Milton Abbas, which entirely con sumed the house and some outbuildings ; and it was with the greatest difficulty that an extensive barn, containing a large quantity of corn, was preserved. The building was evidently set on fire in two places, and when first discoveled, the fire was 'aging on both sides of the roof. A short time since, a barn upon the farm in the occupa tion of Nlr. Maynard, at Reigate, was totally destroyed by fire. Mr. Maynard filled some parochial office, and had been applied to by a pauper for money on the evening of the CJllflagration. This had been refused; and in little more than an hour afterwards the barn was discovered to be in flames, which consumed the building, as well as the stock . of grain which it contained. The latter only was insured. The pauper was taken up and examined, but no proof was obtained that lie had been the destroyer of the property. - • - It appears by a Parliamentary paper, just published, that the total number of houses assessed to the inhabited house tax in all the counties of Great Britain, in the year ending the sth of April, 1830, was 370,786.
