. i ' r • t. DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT. TO THE. FREEHOLDERS OF THE COUNTY OF NORTHUMBERLAND. GENTLEMEN, • I Have ths (Inv received coies of the Resolutions agreed .t i ng of nzeti the friend s of Parliamentary Reform, es the To-k% IL et! Inn, in Newcastle; and at a meeting of the Freeholders ' t•wn.hip of Westgate, in the County of Northumberland. to find that the Freeholders of Northumberland are re. solvttl.. to answer the appeal which his Majesty has made to his faithful -.0 . -ents by dissolving the late Parliament—l rejoice that they s.t t:.' necessity of meeting the efforts which will be made by the advocates of existing abuses in the rotten boroughs and the strong-holds of corruption, by exertions no less strenuous on the part of the people, for whose benefit the Reform Hill is calculated, in every election where even under the present constitution of the House of Commons they possess an influence. As an ardent though an hum ble supporter of the great cause of Reform, I shall most cordially join in these exertions—an attempt to rescue the great and important county to which I have the honour to belong from the disgrace of having its voice on that question nullified by returning two Representative of opposite opinions must command my best assistance. I gladly accept, therefore, the invitation which has been addressed to me. It is true, I cannot undertake the; expense of a contest; and should not, unasked, have offered myself to your notice; yet, as no other candidate has come forward to support the Reform Bill, I feel, that when thus appealed to, it is my duty to afford to the Freeholders of Northumberland an opportunity of proving their ap probation of it, by returning Two Members pledged to its support. It is for this object, and for this object only that I request your sup port; and I therefore call upon my friends to give both their votes in favour of Reform, as the only means of maintaining a soccessful struggle against the wealth and influence by which your spontaneous and unas sisted efforts will be met. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most devoted and obedient Servant, HOWICIE. .1 CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY ELECTION. rl IfIE Committee for securing the Election of Lord 1 PALMERSTON, as one of the Members for the University of Cambridge, have the honour to announce to the Members of the Senate, that the Vice-Chancellor has appointed TUESDAY nest, May 3, for the commencement of the Election. The early attendance of Lord Palmerston's friends is particularly requested. The Committee have reason to fear that, from the Imperfection of lists and changes of residence, some Members of the Senate may not have received letters which have been addressed to them. The Com mittee, have, therefore, to apologise for any such apparent neglect, and to request an early communication of the intentions of any gentleman who are disposed to support Lord Palmerston, and have not yet an nounced their determination. Arrangements have been made by which any of Lord Palmerston's friends may be sure of finding the means of conveyance to and from Cambridge, by application at the Committee-room. The Committee sit daily at the Union Hotel, Cockapur•street, where the earliest attention will be paid to any communication addressed to them. Right Hon. CHARLES GRANT, Chairman. Union Hotel, Cockfpur-street, April 28. TO THE GENTLEMEN OF THE SENATE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE. t ! I ~. I i , ii • 16,*7 LONDON. FRIDAY, APRIL 29. '` ~ y TRIUMPH OF REFORM. :$ i i r GENTLEMAN, THE King has been advised to exercise his prerogative of dissolving Parliament, and of immediately resorting to the sense of the people in the election of their Representatives. It has been repeatedly avowed by his Majesty's confidential servants, tha this measure is adopted for the purpose of ascertaining the sentiments of a New Parliament, not upon the general expediency of some change in the Representation, but upon the merits of a particular measure of Reform to which his Majesty's Government stand committed, and which, in their opinion cannot be altered or modified with advantage in any point of essential im. portance. To that measure so proposed I entertain insuperable ob jections, and I have been called upon by a very large number of the constituent Body of the University of Cambridge professing similar opinions, to offer myself upon the present occasion as a Candidate for the Representation of the University. Under ordinary circumstances I should not have ventured to aspire to this high distinction, and the illness under which I am at present la. bowing, and which may unfortunately preclude me from paying my personal respects to the members of the Senate, would have been sufficient to deter me from seeking so arduous a trust. But the present are not ordinary circumstances ; the consideration of health—the fear of being charged with presumption—are over powered by the deep interest which I feel in the maintenance of those establishments which are connected with the Univer. sity, and by a firm conviction that their security is endangered by that extreme change in our representative system which I have felt it my duty strenuously to oppose. lam bound, at the same time, to avow that I am not adverse to the consideration of a temperate measure of Reform, which, while it extends the basis of the representation, shall se. cure to respectability, intelligence, and wealth, their just influence; shall give to no part of the United Kingdom an undue preponderance; and shall expose to no hazard those venerable establishments in Church end State, the integrity of which I believe to be essential to the well. being of all classes of the community. The grounds upon which I make this appeal, impose upon me the duty of declaring, that I shall consider my election by the University on the present occasion, as implying only the devolution of a temporary trust—and that I shall be prepared to relinquish that trust at any time, when a candidate may be found better entitled in the general opinion of the members of the Senate, to represent the opinions and promote the welfare of the University. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient humble servant, WILLIAM YATES PEEL. April 26, 1831.' Nucl. OF sTof KS AT TWO O'CLOCK. 3 per Ct.

The General Election has commenced most auspiciously, and already, on the very morning of the second day, we have to announce that three Elections have terminated entirely favourab:e to the GRAND CAUSE; ViZ. DOVER, the Bo anu it of SOUTHWARK, and the CITY of LONDON. Thus have already three new votes been added to the cause of the B EFORII BlLL—for so, to avoid all tergi versation and ambiguity,we should designate the noble cause which now occupies the patriotic energies of Britain. Theßill —the whole BlLL—and nothing but the definite, the intelligi ble, and universally understood BILL, should be the motto of our banners, and the war-cry of our victorious legions. We cannot allow the election of Messrs. CALVERT and Borough of Southwarth to pass, with but it of the fact. We rejoice most sin brother of the greatest man of the age, because the most useful man of the age, has been I returned in so signal a manner—without hesitation or ) contest of any Lind. Mr. BROUGHAM, the new member, is knows to hare many personal claims for public favour ; but had his merits been less, as his principles were true, it was an opportunity of showing a public regard to his distinguished brother, which we cannot but con gratulate our countrymen has not been omitted. The inhabitants of Southwark have done themselves peculiar honour, by their unequivocal conduct on this occasion. We need not say how much we are delighted to announce the complete triumph of liberal opinion in the city of Lon don; and the retreat of General WARD and his pitiful junta of contractors, jobbers, and antiquated city gutlers, has afforded us pleasure, which could only be exceeded by intelligence of the complete defeat, of the more seriously criminal General DIEBITSCII. The CITY of Low now is at last emancipated from the in fluence of one or two great families of jobbers ; to which, during the greatest part of the last thirty years of its history, it has been disgracefully subject. It is well known to those who are familiar with the political necktie of WILLIAM PITT, that be reared his popularity, by pandering to the avarice of a few men in the City, who, to procure contracts, got themselves placed in certain situations, commanding the bread and cheese of large masses of the City electors. The large joint stock commercial undertakings existing in the City, the East India Company, the Bank, the Dock and Assurance Companies —among the Directors of which certain of these jobbing Leviathans were sure to be found—offered an exten sion of cogent personal influence, which nothing could resist. Add to all this, the fact, that war of itself has always solid charms on 'Change ; the business at Lloyd's, and the Gambling of the Stock Exchange, both increase.— The transport service has a most irresistible influence over the conscience of a ship-owner; and the Minister that ruins unborn generations by war, has never failed to obtain the plaudits of the generation to which we allude. But now all the adventitious blandishments derived from war-jobbery, have ceased to dazzle those even, who formerly suffered their moral principles to be misled. Good sense and sound morality are again ascendant"; and the commercial men of the present day blush at what has passed, and rally round the standard of Freedom. Our Readers are too much engaged on domestic politics to attend to the affairs of their neighbours. We may, how ever, en passant, refer them to a very important document of General Ss RZYNECKI, dated Kaluszyn, midway between Warsaw and Seidlec, on April 17th. Down to that date there appears to have been no general battle ; and this despatch relates entirely to the operations of General DWERIIICKT, who has advanced from Zamosc, in the south; and, crossing the Bug, has entered Volhynia, defeated some Russian detachments, and raised that province in the rear of the Russians, so as to obstruct their supplies of provisions. The reports of a three days' battle are not yet confirmed; but they come from different quarters, and it will be seen by our Correspondent's letter, gain credit in Paris. DIEBITSCH appears to have made a flank movement from Ryki, with a view to a junction with some of his reinforce ments. Every account confirms the stability of the insurrections in the ancient northern Polish provinces. CITY, ONE O'CLOCK. This being the day for the electing of the city members, a great sensation exists in the city, on account of the mani fest exertions and great interest by the monied capitalists to uphold Mr. Ward, u member, again, for the city ; but this morning, it is generally believed, that he will not meet with success, and that the King and country will triumph over this combination. Consols which left off yesterday at 78g for the account, opened at the same price, with little or nothing doing to this hour. The express from Paris does not bring any news of the east importance, except the French 3 per Cents coming higher. This is settling day in the foreign market, no defaulters at present. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. ____ _ We now hear, in more positive ienns, that Prince Leopold will be placed on the throne of Belgium. The let ters to-day, from Paris, are of a more cheering description than those lately received—the Ministry are gaining great confidence, and the storms which lately prevailed in that capital are beginning to disperse. The letters from the Brazil bring the Exchange 21, and the Stocks 73k. No news of importance. Consols are rather better than in the early part of the morn ing, when they were 781.0 for the account ; at present they are 78; buyers, and the market looking healthy. In the Foreign Funds Portuguese bonds have got up two per cent. up to the present hour the account is going off well. The LORD CHANCELLOR has consented to preside at the anniversary dinner of the LITERARY FUND. Mr. RAE WlLsow was presented to her Majesty, with his Book of Travels in the Holy Land, dedicated, by special permission, to the King, by Lieut.-General Wetherall, and was most graciously received by her Majesty. A little humour was sported by some of the illumi nators.—The following was exhibited on a transparency by a butcher in Aldersgate-street :—" Russell's Purge—Suc cess to the motion." At BENBOW'S Temple Bar Coffee- House, a gibbet was exhibited on a large flag, with a motto For the Charles-street Gang." The late Lord Walsingham's house and furniture. in Harley-street were insured in the Sun Fire-office for 11,0001. The present Earl and Countess of Walsingham (then Archdeacon and Mrs. De Grey) were with their family, at Mrs. Camac's ball, in Mansfield-street, when the tidings reached them of the melancholy catastrophe which so sud denly raised them to the Peerage. The meeting in the bank parlour yesterday, broke up with out any resolution being adopted for an advance in the rate of interest to 5 per cent. as currently reported would have been the case, within the last few days. It appears, however, according to report in the city, that the Directors have issued orders to their branch banks, in different parts of the country, to withhold all accommodation, except at the rate just stated. This is looked upon as more important, because it is considered the prelude to its being extended to the metropolis, and consequently a continued diminution of the circulation of bank-notes. The effect in the country, particularly in the manufacturing districts, arising from this resolution of the Bank, it is believed, will be severely felt, and the applica tions for discounts, at the Bank in London, will, no doubt, be the more numerous. BROUGHAM for the E 1 a mere announcement cerely, that the broth • FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE EXCLUSIVE. FOR THE STAR. PARIS, Aram 117. To 'rim EDITOR. SlR—Various rumours were in cir culation yesterday in this capital respecting the affairs of Poland—all of them very contradictory, and generally to the effect, that the Poles had received a check in their glo rious career, and had experienced great losses. Upon minute investigation, I learn that no courier whatever has arrived with despatches relative to Poland, to this Government; and the whole thing turns out a 'Change speculation, for sinister purposes. The truth is that the very reverse of these rumours is the fact; and by those who are best qualified to judge, the next news is confidently expected to bring the entire destruction of the army of DEIBITSCII—this being rendered highly probable from the perilens situation in which he was placed, by the recent accounts of which you are apprized. The Emperor, NiciroLAs Monaus, seems determined to vie, or rather outshine his Marshal, in the insulting cruelty of his proclamations. The language of the Despot really is not calculated to suppress insurrection. With the last procla mation I have aheady supplied you. It is here looked upon with horror. What l—noblerto be shot—their estates con fiscated—their children to he degraded to the lowest ranks of the soldiery and the humbler orders to be banished to Siberia ! ! !—This is his desperate lan guage, in the depth of disappointment; but his edict is as contemptible as the strong arm of the re nowned Diebitscb and his legions has proved powerless, when opposed to the sacred and just cause of the brave Poles, and of Liberty. The waters are out; and it is not the power of the Autocrat that can stem the torrent. From the intelligence which is received here, it appears, that the Lithuanians know perfectly well to what prince, and to what people they belong ; and they will fight with an ardour and invincibility equal to their brothers of the kingdom of Po land. We know pretty well the effect which was produced in that country by the manifestos which Diebitsch sent forth at the beginning of the war ; and it is most probable that the Ukase of the Emperor Nicholas will not produce a less animated effect. The Austrians have finished their work iu Italy.—lt is stated that they will quit the States of the Holy See, and retire upon the line of the Po.—The letter from the Em peror Francis to Prince Metternich, which you would re ceive in the Journals of yesterday, is a curious document.— The destruction of the patriots in Italy, was to re-establish order, to re-establish tranquillity; and, a more curious thing still, it was to defend the independence of the Italian states, and maintain the general peace!! ! It is high time that such language, so much at variance with truth, should be exposed and abandoned : the good sense of Europe sees through it. It is in the same style, and of the same school, as that disgusting article which appeared a few days since in the' Gazette of St. Petersburgh, where the Poles, so grand, so noble in their resistance, were called a handful of wretches. The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg appears to be always a bone of contention amongst the Cabinets ; and it is much to be feared that the point will not be settled amicably. It is stated that the question takes now anew feature ; and that to engage the Belgians to cede, it is proposed to offer them Dutch Flanders. The Prince of Coburg appears to be the candidate most in favour for the throne of Belgium, and a number of the most influential persons are disposed to accept him, in order to put an end to the businass. Here we have order restored—no more brawls nor com- motions : the Ministers have acted with firmness, and the public seem to appreciate it. The silly actors iu the farce played a Saint-Geremiul'Auxerrois, have just been tried and acquitted. The King, too, whose popularity appeared to be a little on the decline a few weeks ago, has again got into favour. Sunday last, on his return from Vincennes, he came down the fauxbourg Saint Antoine, which is the most populous part of Poris : there he was met by an immense crowd, and amongst others, the national guard of the district, who, being without their muskets, linked themselves arm in arm, and preceded the King to the Palais-Royal, amidst the most deafening shouts of wive le Roi. As they approached the palace, the guards on duty, astonished at the uproar, flew to their arms; but the arrival of a courier soon dia -1 pelled their alarm. As soon as Louis-Philippe had entered his palace, lie appeared at the balcony, and sent down to his voluntary guard of honour, several large silver dishes leaked with cakes, wine, and refreshments of all kinds, to regale them. The scramble was most ludi crous ; and the scene was as much enjoyed as the good things. Louis Philippe renders himself very popular, by his unosten tatious habits. I met him on Friday last with Madame Adelaide, his sister, walking in the passage Colbert, where he was recognized, and cheered by a crowd, till he reached home. All the Journals, and all the people, are loud in the praise of the King of England, and his Ministers—the Jour nals outrageously so ; because they, in their praise, give some sly back strokes at the opposite conduct pursued here I forward the Journals of the ; and remain Yours, truly, J. L. GENERAL DWERNICIII IN VOLRYNIA. General Dwernicki, whom the German journals have so often an nounced as lost, who, with Ids whole corps, cm surrounded by the Russian Generals Dc Witt, Kreutz, and ltudiger, though neither of them dared to attack him, and he whom the Field Marshal menaced to destroy in each of his reports, has entered Volhynia, after Laving passed the Bug, near Krylow, on the night of the 10th and 11th current. The office•, Kacskowski, who brought us this news, left him on the 16th at Boredom, at the moment when his columns took the direc tion of Dubne and Krremieniec. Our general met at Chorachow, re cruits from Volhynia, which the Russians were leading In chains. He asked what ryas the crime for which they were enchained. They re. plied that they had committed no crime, but that they were leading them in this way in order to join the army. Ask these brave Fellows, rejoined General Dwernicki, pointing to our nun, and learn from them If a single one of than has been treated in so cruel a manner ; they will reply, that all of them have battened, freely and fuU of ardour, to the defence of our common country ; and on the order of the General, our Lancers and our Chasseun broke the chains, which afforded an affecting spectacle. Embrace each other, said then the General to theta; you are all brothers. Tears flowed, cries of joy were heard, and the Volhynians mingled with our troops. The enthusiasm is general; contributions flow in ; and the inhabitants arrive from all Pities with arms in their hands. The entry of General Dwcrnlcki Into Volhynia promises us great advantages : it wall be the signal of insurrection for all the Russo-Polish provinces ; and it will insure us besklesgreat supplies of provisions. Vol hynia was the magazine for the army of the Field-Marshal, who already obtained from it a considerable transport of corn. Nothing resisted the entrance of our General : he is said now to be at Dubno, and that on his road he routed some detachments of the enemy. Every body is arming; already several squadrons are ready to march. You can form no idea of the enthusiasm of the inhabitants, who at every step arrive to crowd the ranks of our brave men. For the last half canary our bre thren of Samogitia, of Volhynia, of Podolia, and of the Ukraine, have groaned under the weight of servitude, and of • hostile occupation. Nineteen long years have passed since the Inhabitants beyond the Ilug have seen for once the Polish lance Dwernicki showed them again our victorious phalanxes bearing the standard of liberty. SICOND IMPORT PlOlll Scarcely bad Dwernicki passed the Bug when his int steps on that Polish soil were marked with success. On the 11th inst five pla toons of the second regiment of Lancers, and of the fourth bons Chas stun, composing a part of his corps, encountered, near Poryck, the whole regiment of dragoons of Chargopoloki, which enjoys a high rc. putation in the Russian army. Our detachment ruabed upon this regi. anent, put it to route, took five officers (among whom is Prince Oboltn. ski), 150 dragoons,.as many houses, and more than 200 carbine s sod ether weapons. The enemy's regiment lost also a great number ci men in killed and worried ; finally, the remains of this celebrated re. &nest have been dispersed in the woods, and are coodnuaily falling into our bands. The attack was so unexpected, and at the same time so impetuous, that we bad only one man wounded, whose came is Captain Zajewski. General Dwemieki has already taken possession of the baggage and transports of provisions destined for the great army. " Dated from head-quarten of Jeychrsejow Kslussyn, 17th April, at 2 o'clock.

He has passed the Wieptr, aba•doucd the right bank of the Vistula, and it is believed that he seeks to gain the Bug ; but the route which he follows is very bad, because he is frequently obliged to traverse marshes nearly impracticable. The Chaussie of Siedlcc is occupied by the General-in-Chief Siersynteki, who continually harasses the Russian troops. The necessity of assembling great forces, to attack the enemy with advantage, has not permitted the General to leave a corps of the army at Warsaw, conk. qucntly it may be still possible that Diebitach may seek to pass the Vistula to (All unexpectedly upon the capital.

SPJRIT OF THE JOURNALS. Hea•en.--There is no one point on which the enemies of reform more strongly rely than that of urging the people into excesses during the excitement of the contested elections, and that of being able to tun round upon the country, and point to such excesses as Amon the blessings which are to be expected from " mob government." Ind.. pendently, then, of the fact that violence never yet aided a good came, we would strongly urge the people everywhere not to give their amnia such a handle as an exuberance of feeling,ill-directed and ungoverned,is likely to ann them with. When we hear of an anti-reform candidate's car riage at Dover being broken and, at another place, of a person in similar capacity having three coats torn from his back, we do not hesi tate to say either that such acts must be committed by the enemies of reform themselves, or that those who commit them are playing the game of their opponents much more effectually than the latter can do with such cards as they have in their own hands. We do not deny that the people themselves have a difficult task to perform—that on all subjects, and upon all occasions, to temper zeal with dis cretion is what individuals, and still more large bodies, cannot easily accomplish.. But the most formidable difficulties are often overcome by a moral conviction of the indispensable importance of their being conquered. On this occasion we would strongly impress upon the people that conviction. The real friends of reform have two opposite descriptions of persons to guard against —the first, the enemies of all reform, and the upholders of all abuses ; the second, ihose who would avail themselves of moderate reform only as a step-ladder to the wild overthrow of all existing institutions. Against the machinations of both these parties the honest reformer should steadily oppose himself. POST.—The crimical conduct of the Lord Mayor, in causing the peace or the metropolis to be disturbed and property to be demolished to the amount of thousands, by his atrocious order to illuminate on Wed. neaday, will not, we hope and oust, be suffered to pass unnoticed or unpunished. Is it to be endured, that the Chief Magistrate of the first City in the world, whether he be tool or knave, should be at liberty thus to endanger the lives and expose to destruction the property of his klajesty's peaceable subjects, merely for the self-indulgence of a pretend ed political feeling ? No ; it cannot, and must not be. We shall bring him to the bar of public justice to answer for his atrocious conduct he is legally responsible for the destructive consequences of at event, purely of his own producing, and the inevitable efiects of which he could not but clearly foresee; yet so far from making any attempt to protect the peaceable citizens against outrage, the orderisaued on the oc casion had a tendency completely the reverse ; for the police were forbid. den otherwise to interfere on the occasion than to keep the way clear foe carriages. Was such conduct on the part of a chief magistrate ever before witnessed in this oe any other country ? And shall such unpre cedented criminality be permitted to go unpunished ? Forbid it reason — forbid it common Justice.—A Public Meeting should be tailed to emirs feelings of just abhorrence so universal oe the occasion ;—A Court of Aldermen will we hops be speedily held for the purpose of disclaiming and censuring the gross misenedest ef die man who unfortunately for the City is at present plated at die head at that y respectable WS of Magistrates :—All the widlesms by his esedsct must apply for redress, if it be ody tits pmpsee: the o f akto t e tbe several hue. deeds to.
