napnrte, dated London, June 17, appears in the Temps of this morning : Sir,—l find in your journal of the 13th inst. the fol- I wing paragraph The Duchess of St. Len has been resident in London for several weeks, and it is said that the ex-Queen of Holland is looking for an oppor vanity to offer her son to the Belgians, in cue they found difficulty in choosing a sovereign.' From this it appears that my mother's presence in England is attri buted to political views; but she is there only because 4he would not be separated from het only remaining son. Having joined the partisans in the cause of indepen dence in Italy, 1 have been compelled to take refuge in England, France, alas ! being still shut against me. My another, however, aspires to nothing but repose and tran quillity, and I myself, far from entertaining projects of am bition, desire only to serve my country, or promote the cause liberty among foreign nations. I should long ago have nppeared as a volunteer in the glorious ranks of the Belgians or in those of the immortal Poles, had I not been apprehen sive that my actions would have been imputed to views of personal interest, and that my name might have occasioned uneasiness to timid diplomacy, which is incapable of giving credit to disinterested devotedness, or to that 'yin/thy which is inspired by seeing a people in misfortune. We gave yesterday the letter of Louis Napoleon Buonaparte, which we had directly addressed to us. Its noble and touching language will find among our statesmen but frozen hearts, but it is of a na ture to awaken popular sympathies. That calcu lating system of dark calumnies, which is followed with such a perfidious blindness, will but have served this time to put in its proper point of view a noble character. Banished from France by men who have not been willing to sanction the great act of justice of the people against a perjured fa mily ; driven by the rage of Kings, from that Italy where he had fought for the sacred cause of liberty, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte regrets that lie has not power to serve, as a volunteer, in the glorious ranks of the Belgians, or in those of the immortal Poles. He fears that diplomacy has taken urn brage at the great name which he carries, and that it imputes his generous devotion to views of per tonal interest. Certainly it is not such a Prince who would ever demand thanks for his first actions, and humbly beg a place in the ranks of enemies, for instance, in a Spanish army. Alas ! to him, and to all those who have the blood of Napoleon floating in their veins, exile and outrage ; to others l—La Revolution. SEAMAN'S HOSPITAL THE GRAND FANCY SALE, at th e the HANOVER-SQUARE ROO3IS, under the immediate patronage of HER MAJESTY, will continue open TOMORROW. Admittance at Half-put One o'Clock, Two Shillings. EVENING STAR. LONDON. FRIDAY, JUNE 24. This day M. De Veux, Al. Northumbe, two of the Gentlemen of the Belgian Legation, and Ba lons Bulow and Wesenberg, had an interview with Lord Palmerston, at the Foreign Office. Our Readers will find much interesting Conti nental Intelligence in the STA It of this day, which, we feel persuaded, he will look for in vain in any other Paper of this evening. Among the extracts which we have made from the French Journals, received by the Estafette, this morning, we recommend our reader's atten tion, First,—To the account of the state of public feeling in Italy, chewing the probability that all is not over yet in that quarter. Secondly,—To the remarks on the death of Di EBITISCH, and the new fact of PA SIC EWITCII, being a Lithuanian; which, perhaps, may have given rise to, or may be con sidered to render probable, a report current to-day, of his having joined the Poles. Thirdly, The in teresting letter of Louis Napoleon Buonaparte : And, Fourthly, the intelligence of a revolt in the Russian province of Kiow. The letter of our Correspondent is likewise replete with curious in formation. Thi le last despatches from Poland are dated Warsaw, the 14th instant. The Polish army was again complete ; strong, and as full of spirits as previous to the battle of Ostrolenka, —while the greatest possible harmony existed between the Po lish army and the inhabitants of Warsaw. The success of the Poles in Lithuania, gradually progressing each day, proves the utility of the re gular troops in that province, as a nucleus to as semble round. PASZEWIST6CH, th em e new Russian Commander, is in a very peculiar situation. The army, of which he is appointed to place himself at the head, is in the centre of Poland, surrounded by hostile Poles, and only accessible by a sea voyage, and by the treachery of Prussia to the Poles. It is even doubtful whether he could reach the southern corps bfßuns by Kiow, by a detour of 1000 miles. The Russian army may force its way to PASIEWITSCIT, but it is very doubtful whether he can reach the Russian army, unless he has an escort of 10,000 men, and even then with great difficulty. The corps of GIELGUD, and the insurrection in Li thuania, cuts off all communications of the Rus sians, except by Dantsic or Konigsburgb, and thence by sea to Rip or Narva. A general retreat of the Russians to the Dwina, is their remaining means of restoring their communications, but this ' .an be effected only by hard fighting for three or tour hundred miles. If DIZBITSCH died of cholera, :t must have been brought on by the state of his mind, seeing the ruin in which he had involved so great an army by his rashness; and probably on 'finding hirrself disgraced, as reported, be shot himself or took poison. May such be the fate of lall such monsters, and it is very remarkable that a 'initiar fate terminated the career of his predecessor m slaughter, the atrocious Suws tutor, once so treat a favourite of — our Boroughmongers. The terrible terrible slaughter of an unarmed multitude ibout a Tithe Question, or the forced collection of I f Fi 4 e ( e ll o , e vpeuntuaens end a Ch nd f tofu rt Christian Minister, mast, lu o u f lit Tit iP be w s by force and military aid. He will, hereafter, be 1 a temerarious Churchman who would seize for I 'earthquake at Lisbon, or the cholera morbus in Tithe, and attempt to sell. Even lately none i Russia. would buy, and this tragedy will confirm what hitherto had been but a loose convention. Tithes will, therefore, smell of blood, and the Irish Church will feel itself under no obligation to Messrs. M'CLINTOCK and GRA II Am. This state of things must, however, force the attention of Government, in spite of itself, to the state of the Irish Clergy ; and some provision must now be made for the Irish Church, which does not require the aid of such persons as GRAHAM and his armed men to assist in the collection. To-day the Reform Bill is to be brought again before the House of Commons—fixed in its main principles, but improved in some of its details. 1 Its object is to free us from the sinister influence which has entailed such complicated miseries on the mass of the people. At the same time, it is perversely or mistakenly asserted, that the past system has been productive of unparralled glory and prosperity. Thus we have seen, towns increase in size, houses enlarged and beautified, luxury abound, improvements proceed, and all the machinery of social perfection ex tended on all hands, by which architects, builders, and civil engineers, acquire constant employment and wealth. How is all this to be reconciled with growing discontent, domestic anxieties, and general misery—such that nine men in every ten would declare that they live as on a broiling gridiron ? The cause of the first condition is debt— universal debt, and borrowing for every purpose ; by which there is splendour without stability, and almost without object or prospect; and then the cause of the second condition is the payment of the interest of all these debts, which operate as mortgages on the industry and enterprizes of the whole community. That is the clues of the die- ; play called public prosperity—and this the cause of the simultaneous private misery. The country is like a man, who, having 20,0001. per annum, enables himself, by mortgaging, to spend 50,0001. His external splendour astonishes all his friends and the bye-standers; but he is laying up a store of personal misery in his struggles to pay the.interest. We hear of a new Canal, and, on looking at it, we infer the prosperity of the country ; but, on inquiry, we find that its managers are in debt for every shilling of its cost, and that they have all its proceeds to pay in interest, and never con template easing the imposts by redeeming the principle. We see a new road, or an improved old road, and we shall, upon inquiry, find that its constructors borrowed the money, and that its pro duce is mortgaged to numerous creditors. We admire a superb street, just finishing, and suppose that the builder had superfluous capital; but on in vestigation we shall find, that not only is every house mortgaged, but even that the ground rent, and every story, as they proceeded, were put under separate mortgages, the interests of which are to be paid out of the rentals. And it is exactly so with every thing:—if a parish build a work house, the money is borrowed, and a bur then of interest created on the future retel— -1 Iso if an hospital be raised, a large portion of the cost is borrowed as a mortgage on the le gacies and subscriptions. If, again, a bridge is to be built, the whole of the cost is borrowed, and the interest becomes a public impost in the shape of Tolls. Then our close corporations, and in fact all corporations—have almost, without excep tion, pursued the same spendthrift practices ; and either for parade, for electioneering objects, or for public buildings, have mortgaged either their es tates or their dues and revenues, derived from public industry, so as for the most part to have little or no net income remaining. Then as to the nation, it has mortgaged every thing to carry on wars for no public object ; and in return has incidentally acquired Malta, the Cape, the Mauritius, Ceylon, Demerara, and Trinidad— Colonies which are an annual cost, which were not needed, and which, at best, are not worth £1 pa cent. of the 2,000 millions expended in acquiring them ! Aye, but we have also gained victories and glory, true ; but blood shed without necessity, and glory without justice, are sorry returns for a permanent mortgage of 30 millions on the estates and industry of the nation. This, then, is the system—the ways, means, and results of which, the Boroughmongers and their partizans make a boast. It would be hard if the Three Millions of our Road Debts did not afford us Roads for which we still have the interest to pay— if we had not our Canals for our Twenty Millions of Canal Debts—our Parish Buildings, &c. for our One Hundred and Fifty Millions of Parish Debts— our Bridges for our Thirty Millions of Bridge Debts—our Hospitals for our Three or Four Million of engagements on them, &c. &c. to a gross amount, equal, perhaps, to the Public Debt itself. To debt and borrowing, therefore, are we obliged for all these glories of the country, and not for one iota to the Boroughmongers. The effect has been the creation of a *warm of locusts,called money lenders, money scriveners, and jobbers in money, wbo fatten on the toils of the people, and whose idleness and luxury have to be supported by imposts, dues, and assessments in every form. No doubt, at the same time, the public debt itself, by the facility of transfer, has promoted all this local and collateral money jobbing ; but to this joint operation is to be ascribed all the result ing improvements which surround us ; and they are not effects of the borough system, more than of the The discussions in the two Houses last night were somewhat more to the purpose ; but cer tainly not in complete accordance with public expectation ; and the 150 new Members are still silent, a circumstance which will surprise many of their zealous constituents, as much as the public at large. Never did a country stand more in need of originality, and we fear it is fated to be disap pointed, although the exertions and sacrifices of electors deserved a more splendid result. Lord W ARNCLI /FE gave notice of a bill against the vile Truck System ; and Lord TEYN HAM announced a proposed amendment of the mode of choosing overseers of the poor. Such laws, • properly conceived, will do far more good than slaughter, in allaying the discontents of the people. Lord PLIIN it err complained of some obeerva tions made by Sir R. BATESON in the House of Commons, charging him with having used his in fluence, as Lord Chancellor of Ireland, during the late elections; and be proposes to bring it forward to-day as against the newspaper publication. Lord LONDONDERRY explained for Sir R. BATESON. The Bishop of BATH and WELLS presented and supported a petition against the new beer-houses, in which Lord MALMSBURY concurred. But Lord MELBOURNE thought the evils had been exagge rated; and Lord 're Y II A AI, with his usual libe rality, said, that the malt and hop duties should be remitted, so that poor people might brew at home. The Marquis of SALILBVRY asserted that the brewers were monopolizing even the new beer houses; and Lord KI NO subdivided the evils be tween those in towns, and those in the country. The excess of the population under the certifi cates of the existing system of large farms, led Lord WI I.: clinsew to enquire what measures Government intended to adopt for the relief of the country. Lord Got) E RICII in reply, said Govern. meat intended to support the system, by bringing in a Bill to promote the emigration of those who could not live under it. But Lord WINCHILSEA, whose attention to these subjects merits high praise, said his object was to increase payment in the winter months. Lord SUFFIELD corrected Lord GODERICH, and said he believed that Government intended something further than their emigration scheme. The Marquis of SALISBURY doubted Government, and therefore should propose the revival of the Poor Committee. Lord MELBOURNE avowed that Mi nisters had no plan, but to reduce the population by emigration. The LORD CHANCELLOR made a great variety of professions, and spoke of his deep studies on the subject—deplored the necessity (which be assumed) of sending our best sons out of the country, and ended by stating, that some plan or discovery of his would be brought forward probably the next session of Parliament. Lord WINCHILSEA then gave notice of a bill which he should forthwith bring in, to provide em ployment for the unemployed poor; but whether it is relative to the restoration and increase of farms, or not, did not transpire. Lord WYNFORD announced his determination to re-produce his defunct bill, which in the last Ses sions bad passed through that house. Lord &MURTON claimed for Ireland immediate and not remote measures—instant relief and not political economy. In the House of Commons Lord MANDEVILLE presented petitions against the Catholic College of Maynooth, to which the evils of Ireland is at tributable—a position which Mr. O'Cox ar.s hap pily ridiculed. Mr. HUNT called the attention of the House to the massacre at Newtonbarry, and said, that such deeds, Special Commissions, Prosecutions, and the Gallows, would not stand, instead of Irish Poor Laws. Mr. MAXWELL, SOD of Lord FARNHAM, to whom GRAHAM is Steward, described M'Culi- TOCK. as an extremely humane and excellent man ; and Captain GRAHAM, the Magistrate, as a gallant, honourable, and humane man ; but he asserted that the people had first fired on the Yeomanry, killed one and wounded others ! These assertions called up Lord MILTON, who said be had been at the place but the day be fore, and that he had since received information of a very different character—the people having no arms, and their firing consisting merely in throwing some stones. Whatever, too, might be the character of the Rector, he did not live in har mony with his parishioners. Mr. LEADER concurred with Lord MILTON in deprecating ex parte statements, and thought that as it was said to be a composition parish, all had not been right and fair. Mr. LEFROT (Member for Drogheda) defended M'Clintock against the inference of Mr. LEADER. Mr. LAMBERT said he lived in the county, and from his knowledge of the peasantry, he did not imagine that any thing had been done in this instance by them to warrant what bad taken place. He must say, that he thought there appeared a disposition in certain persons to bring on a rebellion iu Ireland ; but he said the age of rebellion was gone by, and the age of revolution was come ; and he feared that resist ance might be considered a duty. Mr. GILIITTAIN stated, that in canvassing Wick low, he had beard complaints of the parties con cerned in this transaction ; and he considered it wrong to call out the yeomanry, men selected from party motives, and generally obnoxious.— Mr. O'Cox N ILL stated that he bad learnt that Mr. Greene, a King's Counsel, had been sent by the T.ord-Lieutenant to enquire on the spot. But it may be asked out of the House, why was not an Ad dress moved to the King, to send Commissions of Enquiry to Castlepollard, Merthyr Tydvil, and Newtown Barry. The circumstances demand some extra-official measure. A discussion then arose relative to the improper erection of King's College ; the new street from the Strand-bridge to the North, &c. &c. Lord NtrcEarr brought in a bill to substitute declarations for oaths in the customs and excise. Lord MILTON gave notice of his intention to move for a revision of the Corn Laws. Mr. HUNT presented a petition from Preston, claiming exemption from the 101. clause in the bill ; and another from Somersetshire in favour of the bill, and then entered into some personal history , relative to his reception at both places. Alderman WA rrizmAs deprecated these vindi cations of himself by Mr. HUNT ; and stated, that during a speech of only 12 minutes, he had re• pealed the personal pronoun I, no less than 75 times. COL EVANS lamented that his being sent for to bis own town prevented his throwing out Mr. HUNT, and thought that by doing so, he would have rendered the country a service.

Letters have been received from Pernambuco to the Bth May. They were informed of the Revolu tion at Rio; but all remained tranquil at Pernam• buco ou the above date. We are informed that a letter is in town from Berlin, which brings a report that Count Paske wit:, the new commander of the Russian armies in Poland, had gone over to the Poles—he is a Pole by birth ; but we are afraid that t is flees is W) good to be true, and we must wait for further in formation, before we can give it credit. There has been some excitement this morning in the City, caused by an announcement that Govern ment are going to take up two thousand tons of shipping for transports : the public, not knowing the cause, thought that they were for conveying troops on the same expedition ; but on its being ascertained that the transports are for the Quaran tine service, the excitement ceased. THE NEWTOWNBARRY MASSACRE. We placed before our readers yesterday, the ful lest details of the horrible transaction at Newtown barry ; but pending the inquest upon the bodies of the unfortunate victims, says the Morning Regis ter, we think it advisable to refrain from comment upon the conduct of the parties most seriously im plicated. It appears that Mr. Greene, K.C. has been despatched by the Government to attend the inquest, and to make a strict inquiry into all the [ circumstances that led to, end were attendant upon, this dreadful massacre. We earnestly hope that Mr. Greene will be able to lay a full, fair, and im partial report before the Lord Lieutenant. The fol lowing is from the Evening Post : If this be the way in which the mlnis:ers of the Este blished Church collect their revenues, it becomes a question whether parliament should not interfere. The first duty of government is to see that the State receives no injury—ue quidelefriasersli—but the State receives a deep injury in its character and security, by the indiscriminate slaughter of the people. Granting, which we may, that the mob were riotous, it is still a question whether they should be immo lated by wholesale. Again, granting, which we must, that the person has a right to his tithe, it will become a question whether that right is to be enforced at the point of the sword. Which of our readers does not remember the battle of Scullabogue, in the county of Cork ? In this case the in cumbent endeavoured to make his distress at the bead of a body of police. There was a regular engagement, and se veral were killed and wounded. We forget whether Mr. Merritt (we believe that was the man's name) sueveded —but we remember very well that be was ultimately obliged to leave the country, and that a cry of horror and in. dignatlon was raised through the whole empire at hiscooduct. What may be the ultimate destinyof the Rev. Mr. Wain. took, we shall not pretend to conjecture. He may remain at his rectory or vicarage, or whatever it be, and enjoy, if he can, the reflection, that gathering his tithe to the value of a pound or two sterling, has cost the lives of a some of human creatures. But surely this Is not a point that ought to be left to the reflection of the rev. gentleman. Let him have his own by all means. But let not the King's subjects be slaughtered. in order that be should enjoy his bottle under the shade of his own fig-tree. Let the Tabs Composition Act, until some other method k adopted, be made compul sory. But we dismiss this part of the subject for the present. The second point to which the public mind will be called is the conduct of the police. They, it appears, did not act, though present at the scene—and though otdered to fire, refused to obey. Bow is this 2 The police are under the orders of the magistrate. Was there a magis trate present' Is Graham a magistrate? We suppose, as Lord Farnham's agent, and Captain of a Yeomanry corps, he has the commission of the peace. Well then, why did the police disobey him ? Was Me Riot Act read t There is Inot the slightest mention of such • fast in any of the letters which have reached us. But there is a third question, the most material of all in this cruel transaction. Was U really a yeomanry corps Mal commused the slaughter $ Are there such corps knows. to As law a% the Ennisconhy and Newtownbstry corps ? If these or either of these corps be on permanent duty, we then acknowledge their legal existence. If they are not on permanent duty, they art not yeomen. They have no local habitation, although a name. They are no more in existence than the County of Wexford regiment of mi litia. They can be only called into CINWICS by a pro clamatiom of the Lord Lieutenant. Has the Marquis of Anglesey issued such proclamation ? We are not aware that his Excellency has bad recourse to any such mea sure. Well, then, if they were not a yeomanry corps, what were they ? What authority had Captain Graham to call out a number of men with red coats, and to put deadly weapons in their bands ? They were not the posse aunt. tams of the county. No one can call out &a but the High SherK and that officer does not appear to hare thought it beeeseary to do so, for the purpose of collecting the Rev. Mr. M'Clintock's tithes. Why were them men asomensblel at all without the King's command, or that of his Ma. jested representative ? By what right. -by shalt law, did Captain Graham supersede the paliee in the petformanee of their duty ? Wbo gave hint or his associates the poser of acting ? Thaw are grave qua dons, Captain Graham a'd Mr . 31 4 Clintsek. They may be answered satisfactorily, petirtpa. ie . :. That • thorou investigation will be had, we know. Mr. Greene, the 's Damsel, set off by the Lord Lieutenant's order, at a very notice on Sunday. Until the result of this inquiry is known, the public will suspend their judg ment—but it cannot be denied that there i. prima facie eel. deuce of guilt somewhere. Yesterday a meeting of the persons engaged in the new beer trade was held at the Crown and An chor Tavern, Strand, for the purpose of considering the propriety of petitioning Parliament for the acme privileges as are enjoyed by the licensed victual lers; Mr. Braithwaite in the chair. Mr. BURT rose to propose the first resolution, and contended that the great number of persons now engaged in the sale of beer under the new beer act were not adequately protected. The only parties now opposed to the new system were the magistracy, the clergy, and the licensed victuallers. The two former opposed the system because the power and influence formerly used by them in the granting of licenses had been taken away. The interests of 30,000 persons now engaged in the new beer trade were not adequately protected, the Act of Parliament upon the subject being so con structed as to render them the prey of the common informers. As the consumption of malt, the reve nue, and the comforts of the poor, had been in creased under the new system, he thought minis ters would be bound to redress the evil complained of, and that the same privileges, with respect to the hours of keeping open their shops, should be al lowed to persons engaged in the new trade as were granted to the licensed victuallers. He moved the first resolution, which stated that it was the opi nion of the meeting that the benefits contemplated by the legislature in passing the sale of beer act had been fully realized, that the retailers were now 30,000 in number, and that they were not ade quately protected. Mr. MORRIS seconded the resolution, and said that all the trade desired was a free and impartial law. The resolution was carried. , Mr. Bex Bow moved the second resolution,w•hich was to the effect, that while, as individuals, the numerous persons engaged in the sale of beer by retail viewed with indifference the misrepresenta tions circulated against them, yet, as a body they considered it their duty to the Government and to the public, to prepare a petition to Parliament con taining a statement of facts, and prayingfor an eqnel and impartial law. He considered that the Duke of Wellington bad only acceded to the demands of the people in carrying into effect the new beer bill. The labouring people were satisfied with the mea sure. The magistracy and their connexions were opposed to the system. He denied that the li censed victuallers had a right to a greater amount of protection than those engaged in the sale of beer under the new act. The resolution was seconded by Mr. Cann II x , and carried. A petition to Parliament was then agreed to, praying for an extension of the hours for keeping open their houses, and for the removal of other ob noxious clauses in the Act of Parliament. The meeting then adjourned. THE MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF MR. ANDREW MARRIOTT MA lIIEWS, OF Tdß COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE. letterday, William Davis, the waterman at Whitehall, underwent a further examination before Stoma& Oregorioand White, at Queausguare police-o®n. On the Pint examination it appeared that the prisoner rowed Mr. Mathews, on Tuesday evening, the 14th, in his own boat, to Blackfrlars.bridge, from Whitehall-stairs, and on their return (by the prisoner's aceonn:j Mr Mathews landed him on some coal craft, and after wishing him good night rowed up the river, since which time he has not been heard of. The hat, the prisoner said, was given him by M& Mathews, to take care of until his return. Charles Simpson, a boy about 14 years of age, stated that be lived with his father in Seaford-street, Battersea -gelds. Last Thursday morning, between 7 and 8 u'clock, be ob served a boat in Mr. Trouting's dock, at Battersea. In a few hours after, while be vas at the dock, the prisoner came up to him and said, " Do you know any thing of a boat here ?" Witness pointed out the boat, when be asked if he bad seen any bundle. Witness told him to had seen nothing in the boat but four sculls. •He then requested nese to get some more boys, and assist him to launch the boat into the river, for which service he gave them a shil ling. He said that the boat belonged to a gentleman at Whitehall, but nothing more. Septimus Carter, we of the lads that waisted in launching the boat, gave similar evidence, and, in addition, stated that the prisoner said the beat beloneed to a person who was supposed to be lost et drowned. Witness asked him It he knew where the person vas? when the prisoner healtat d, I and looked at him full in the face, and said, " 144%," There was something in his manner that struck witness he was not telling the truth. He did not appear to wish to talk on the subject, and hurried them to launch the boat, as be said he had a fare waiting at Vauxhall-hridge. Mr. Thomas Curriniuk, caul-me cha tt, of Mill-wharf, Battersea, stated that from 6 to 7 o'clock on Wednesday numbing the boat was not in the dock.; after that time he went away. The dock had Got been used for some time, and was overgrown with rushes. The boo must have been pushed tato the dock by some paves, for no tide could have carried bcr in. Several other witnesses were examined as to the finding a the boat, bat their eviterace was not material. James Coke, of No. SS, B: dge.strtet, Westminster. bridge, examioed the white bat • was found upon the prisoner, sad said that it was his make ; be had not the alightat doubt but that it was the same bat that he had sold to Mr. Mathews.
