FOR THE STAR. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE EXCLUSIVE. FRANCE. PARIS, SAT U RDA Y.--It appears that the indications of discontent and division in the Cabinet, which we perceived yesterday in an article of Le Temps, are not void of reality ; in consequence of discussions which preceded the royal sitting; of other discussions which will be raised upon the' effect of the discourse, and principally upon the sitting of the Clamber of Peers, when M. de Fitz-James spoke. We are assured that it may be followed by a dislocation of the Cabinet, and a change in the presidence of the council. We never thought that the present ministry had much of the elements of duration ; but we report the rumours which ,•i:culate, without affirming that the term of its existence has arriced.—Courier Francais. BELGIUM. The Cabinet of London, whose interest it is clear is to embroil us with the Belgians, has just, we are assured, made known that our Government demands that their country be divided. It is evidently a diplomatic calumny, the end of which is to aid the nomination of the Prince of Coburg, the candidate of all the vacant thrones. The Perier Ministry cannot allow a thing so inimical; it can not allow itself to be placed in a line with the cowardly cabinet which left Poland to perish. We may add that we have for chief, an honest citizen King, who, in reply to a fear of this kind, said with warmth to the deputation of the Con gress : " My hand should drop off rather than sign the dis honour of France." We shall not seek, moreover to combat o absurd a report. The intelligent diplomatist, who repre sents the Belgians at the Palais Royal, will tell them what is our sympathy for them. If they must choose between a rival people and us, they must not forget that, in the con ferences our Ambassador is the only one who defended their cause; they must tut forget above all, that in the first days of December, M. Geudebien, their Plenipotentiary, was re ceived at Paris, and that M. d'Aerschot is not yet recog nized at London.—Le Coast;tutionnel. POLAND AND RUSSIA. INSURRECTION IN LITHUANIA. It was announced this evening, that there had arrived at Paris this day news from Poland, posterior to that which we published yesterday ; it states, that there had just arrived at Warsaw deputies from Lithuania, to offer the concurrence of their countrymen in favour of the common cause; it was even added, that 10,000 Lithuanians, armed, organized, and equipped, made their entry into the capital at the departure of the courier: The insurrection spreads daily with an extraordinary rapidity ; it began to gain ancient Poland unto Smolenako. The remains of the army of General Diebitsch were endeavouring to concentrate from all parts, and a general battle was expected, which must decide his fate.— Constituriminel. The Gazette d'Etat states that they learnt on the 11th, at Warsaw, that General Skrynecki had entered Siedlec, and that the commandant of the free corps Zaliwski, whom the generalissimo had named Lieutenant Colonel, had con ducted his corps beyond Liss-. Letters from Memel, of the 10th, inform us that Imperial Russian troops, who had eva cuated Polangen to retreat upon Memel, had quitted that city, and had proceeded near Heiligentadt. There they had assembled several hundreds of the forest guards of Courland, and some other troops who had come to join them, in order to attack en masse the city of Polangen. After having been several times repulsed, they returned to the charge with a new reinforcement, and were resolved to drive the insur gents from that city ; 30 rebels, and one of their chiefs were killed ; several others made prisoners ; all the rest were dis persed. The city of Polangen is in flames. The Russians on their side, it is said, had twenty wounded and some killed.—P. S. At this moment we learn that Polangen is in ashes, all but a few houses. The inhabitants, who have lost all, have taken refuge upon the Prussian territory. They write us from Libou, that the Imperial Government has caused about 5,000 men to march upon Courland, in order to protect that country from the Lithuanian insurgents, and a'smt 11,000 men upon Lithuania to stifle the progress of the insurrection.—Journal de Koenigsberg. The insurrection of Lithuania and Samogitia is consum mated ; the national government is organized; the soldiers recruit, and they do not want for cannon. The rising of these pros inces had been decided on since the revolution of Warsaw ; but the presence of the Russian troops, and the arrival of the Imperial guard, bud obliged the Patriots to delay the explosion. It would not even have burst forth so soon, if chance had not hastened it. A circular falling into the hands of a captain of the Russian marine, Schmalinken, the patriots were forced to begin to act. The pastor, Rcenikier, established at Froze, a town situated in Rossienic and Telsze, and celebrated in Samogitia by a gymnasi mu,where are assem bled the choice of the youth of that province, gave the signal. His son, formerly a pupil of the University of Wilna, had been sent to Siberia : paternal love, and that of the country, awakened at once in the soul of that honourable citizen. The arsenal of Wilna had been transferred for some months to Rossienic, in order to be more portable for the army of Marshal Diehitsch. The Polish patriots seized it, and with it armed nr-v levies of peasantry. The city of Wilna fol lowed that example, Count Plater, placed at the head of the provisionary government, issued proclamations, in which he calls to arms, not only the ancient provinces invaded by Russia, in 1772, but those of Smo lensk°, Czernichew, on the northern side unto Livonia, Ind Esthonia. The governor general of Lithuania, Rinisky- Korsakoff, has been put under the surveillance of the new government. The clergy seconds admirably all the move ments; they preach from the height of the pulpit, the holy insurrection of Lithuania. All along the frontiers of Samogitia and Prussia, there are public declarations stating: let, That the Polish and Prussian provinces cannot subsist, but by the immediate reestablishment of commercial relations between these two countries; 2d, That the e:.traordinary levy, ordained by Russia, was insupportable ; and 3d, That they would once for all put a stop to those passages of Russian troops which absorbed the provisions of the inhabi tants. The most severe orders have been given to the patriots not to pass, and to protect against the least insult, tee frontiers of the King of Prussia. ITALY. A report from Field-Marshal Baron Geppert, dated An cona, March 4, announces that the remains of the bands of Sercognani are entirely dissolved. Sercognani himself has disappeared ; it is believed that he has embarked for Mar 'eines. Orders have already been given for the retreat of the imperial troops, which, with the exception of a feeble garrison at Ancona, are echelonning from Pesaro to Bologna t"' Rimini Forli, alid Imola. The prisoners made in the combat of Rimini, being for the most part soldiers of the aontifical govLrnment, who had passed to the rebels, have been consigned to the depots designed for that purpose by the government. All the material of war, property of the Holy See, has keen remitted to the Citadel of Ancona,— 'lliservateur Autrichien. The Austrian commanders having refused the Pope to name the military commissioners to judge, in the Legations, &L: crimes relative to the insurrection, the Pontifical Govern ment has just sent in these provinces commissioners invested ••••ith this power. Cardinal Rivarola, one of the executioners the Carbonari at Ravenna, has had a great influence in 'lie choice of these judges; their instructions are based the barbarous principles which has already made so, many victims in 1827, in the Roman states: principles which Gregory XVI. still proclaims in the Bull of the sth of April last, by refnsing all pardon to the insurgents. The accused with such commissioners will then be judged and punished with the greatest possible severity.—La National. GERMANY. Twenty-two pupils of the School of Application of Metz have persisted, in spite of threats and suggestions of all kinds, not to withdraw the adhesion which they had given to the National Association for the defence of the soil and the perpetual exclusion of the Bourbons of the elder branch. At the arrival of General Delort, the bearer of the ultima tum of Ministers, they were called to his house, and inter rogated again upon their intentions. Upon their decided refusal to retract, he declared to them that they were to be sent for a year to their homes without salary, and they re ceived orders to quiff the city of Metz in twenty-four hours, with the prohibition of remaining any where but in the dwelling of their parents.—Journal des Debats. SPAIN. The Madrid Gazette, announcing the capital punishment of the bookseller Mijar, who was executed to-day (April Il) adds,that all those who write to foreign countries accounts of acts of vengeance and oppression which nobody has suffered, and misrepresent the disposition, the desires, and the power of the Spanish monarchy, merit a similar fate. SPIRIT OF THE JOURNALS. Truss—With the people of England now rests the cause of reform : their gracious Sovereign bas delivered it into their hands, and whatever use they may make of it—whether it suffer and sink with th..m, or in crease in an rength, and pass on to victory, the obligation to the Sove reign is the same—he is entitiel to the eternal gratitude of his people. There is no qustion but the snuggle will be a fierce one; the conflict on the dissolution in the House of Commons, and the tumult in that more orderly body, the House of Lords, are preludes of the more tem pestuous scenes which will take place in the kingdom at large on the present general election. Who would have thought that, in support of a cause so manifestly unjust as that of nominating mock.memberw to sit in the House of Commons, under the semblance of the representa tives of the people of England, any party or fiction of men could be found to array themselves publicly P It is a proof that the long prac tice of political vice, like that of mural vice, not only depraves the heart which at first may have hardly been tainted by it, but perverts the understanding and etupifies the faculties. CHIONICLE.—We cannot too earnestly inculcate the necessity of making the greatest exertion to return every where Reformers, in the true sense of the word. The Boroughmongers are stirring heaven and earth to compass their base ends, and money will be lavished on the worthless Englishmen who, for a mess of pottage, will sell the rights of themselves and their children. The majority and minority on Gen. Gas. coyness motion, on the llith, printed by Mr. Ridgway, in the form of a sheet, should be distributed throughout every corner of the three King. doms,in order to be posted up in all places of resat, that the enemies of the people may be thoroughly known. Whoever voted for that motion ought to be excluded from every place where the people have any influence. Another point is of great importance. Let there be no divisions among the reformers themselves. We account every man, no matter what his professions and pledges, who offers himself as a candidate in piece of any of the men who have declared themselves for the whole bill, and who have voted for the second reading and against General Ga.coyne's motion, an enemy of the people. By reason of the division thus created the enemy may come in. We arc sorry, therefore, to see a reform candidate start for Westminster. Sir Francis Burdett and Mr. Hobhouse ought to have no rivals among reformers. The re. formers have quite enough on their hands without opposing tech other. Every man who votes for an Anti-Reformer votes for Despotism—votes against the Liberty of the Press—against Educa tion—against all that has made England what she is, in spite of the abuses from which she has suffered. Sir Robert Peel, the head of the And. Reformers, has not hesitated to declare himself an ad. mirer of the system of Charles Z and an enemy to the Liberty of the Press, which he chooses to term Journalism. He talked on Friday of " the despotism of Journalism—that despotism which had brought neighbouring countries, once happy and flourishing, to the very brink of ruin and despair." Joseph Surface has at length spoken out. This was the overflowing of a full heart. Hsppy France, if Charles had succeeded in destroying the Charter, and annihilating Journalism ! So, if this man and his patty succeed, we may see what happiness is in store for us. We shall have, no doubt, gagging Bills in abundance, a re-ac tion against everything liberal, fresh crusades against the Press, by Sir J. Barlett, fleshed by a spirit of vengeance on account of his late mortifica tion.. We understand that several of the leading boroughmongers have had a meeting, to agree on supplies for the contest, and that a stock purse of a hundred thousand pounds was subscribed for without delay. Some of them subscribed as high as twenty thousand pounds. To counteract them great exertions, subscriptions must be liberally entered into at Manchester, Birmingham, Sheffield, Glasgow, and all the other great towns about to receive the franchise. We repeat, the greatest exertions are required. The boroughmongers have every motive for opening their purses liberally on this °cession. On the one hand, their power to plum der will be annihilated by reform : on the other, victory would soon enable them to repay their outlay out of the pockets of the peopld. The poor wretches, who for gold should sell themselves to this crew, would soon feel the consequences in increased burdens. The victory of the boroughmongers would be re-action, and the liberal squandering of the public money, in order to protect themselves by the dispensation of pa. tronage. Post.—The Proclamation for dissolving Parliament was on Sa. nude) , published in an Ealreordinary Gazelle, and the mails were detained an hour for the purpose of conveyingit, tegetber with the writs, no every part of the empire. The Writs, it will be seen, aro return. lie on the 14th of June, but Parlia ment is not expected to be summoned to meet for the dispatch of business before the 21st, or 28th of that month. The elections will not commence before the end of the present week. Beaten at all points, and disgraced in the eyes of atl rational men, Ministers have thus ventured to appeal from the sense of Parliament to the decision of the nation. Instead of pursuing the course which more upright and disinterested men would have adopted, they prefer endangering the peace of the country, by dissolv. :rig the Parliament ; and for this act of sheer selfishness, desperation, and folly, they stand fearfully responsible to an abused Monarch and an injured people. The expedient, however, there is every reason to expect, will not only fail of success, bat sink its authors still further in disgrace. The country can never have confidence in men who do not hesitate to sacrifice its interests in furtherance of their own unmoor. thy purposes. HERALD.—The boroughmongers have been, and still are. labouring to alarm the country into a persuasion that the Reform Bill is a re velutionary measure. If such were really the case, it could not be too warmly resisted. That it is not such, is unanswerably proved' by this one fact, that it has received the unequivocal support of the Monarch, of a great majority of the really independent portion of the House of Commons, and of thousands upon thousands of those very ranks of the community to whom revolution would be ruin.' But let us try these virtuous alarmists by their own test. —Let us see how they who deprecate revolution in words absolutely court it by their acts. Let us ask them whether the closing I scene of the late Parliament, in both Houses, on Friday did not possess more of a really revolutionary character titan any thing which has transpired in the annals of this country since the period which preceded the Commonwealth. What is a revolution but the subversion of one' state of government and the substitution of another or none, in its I stead ? Let any man read calmly—let the actors in the scenes look back themselves upon what took place in the two houses on Friday, and ask what could more resemble a prelude to revolution. We will not pollute our columns by repeating the disgusting recitals, still less will we be the means of propagating the infamous aspersions upon our pa. triotic King, which these pretended friends of Monarchy and of the Constitution are giving utterance to wherever their slanders can be in. truded : but we feel no hesitation in stating that the conduct exhibited on that day amounted to very little short of treason, and that some at least, of the offenders may think it fortunate that they are not now ru. minating in the Tower over conduct which, in times even of far less ex citement, would have lid to such a termination. Much is said and professed and published about education, at all which experienced schoolmasters and governesses laugh heartily. Education is a practical, and not a theoretical science, and all the assistance it can receive is in the choice of subjects, the mode of impressing the memory ; or in writing or music, practising certain muscles. By the Act of last Session it is directed that the census of the population shall be taken throughout England on the 30th of May next. Persons refusing to answer, or giving false answers to the several questions, will be liable to a penalty of from 40s. to Si. and the returns must be made by the overseers or householders, upon oath or affirmation, according to the best of their knowledge and belief, at a time to be appointed by the Justices, between the 25th of June and the 21st ofJ uly. It appears by the annual report of the excellent society for the discharge and relief of persons imprisoned for small debts throughout England and Wales, that no less than 1,786 debtors have been restored to liberty during the last year, at the trifling average expense of 21. 12s. 21d. for each person ; a strong proof that much good may be effected by small means under careful management.

Strange rumours are afloat ; the alarmist is abroad : many well-disposed gentlemen are labouring under dread ful apprehensions of the effects of the general dissolution, as, even if they should be fortunate enough to escape with life, they have strong anticipations that Fate's scissors will only be suspended in their functions by the devoted con senting, per force indeed, to relinquish for the rest of their lives the proud distinction which sets man above the other animals of creation, the privilege of speech. This punish ment will, it is said, be inflicted upon them in consequence of their having grossly abused the privilege when they pos sessed it. Among many who are likely to suffer the punish ment due to their backalidings, we may enumerate the fol lowing : TIIE BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK.-Sir Robert Wilson has made his retiring bow, even without his attempting to utter a word of greeting to his former constituents. Though a General, and one who has seen service , he cannot muster courage to meet old friends with a new face. Lord Coch rane is mentioned as likely to be a candidate. Mr. Calvert stands again, and of Mr. Brougham's success there can be no doubt. Low DOW . —ln the metropolis rumour says we shall see some change. A new police has been introduced. The citizens, it is said, have set a strict watch, but they will keep Ward no longer. AnuN DEL —This borough, the stronghold of Norfolk, it is said, has taken alarm at the fiery disposition of the Alder man who has for sometime been their independent represen tative. The worthy electors will eject the " Cit," having turned their attention to a young Merryweather, who has less attachment to the old leaven than the Worshipful Alder man has. K ENT.—The bold Kentishmen, it is expected, will muster strongly, and try their strength with the house of Knatch bull. Sir William Coaway is mentioned as likely to take the field against the old Member ; and Sir Egerton Brydges has already declared himself as ready to enter the same field, and is a staunch reformer. Coax WALL.-Sir Richard Vyvyan, who has shown him self one of the boldest, as well as the most able opponents of reform, is apprehensive that the Cornishmen, when he again presents himself to solicit their support, will give him so rough a fraternal hug, as will put him at once hors de combat. HAmPsin at.—Sir J. Macdonald and Mr. Shaw Lefevre, both staunch reformers, have been active in this county.— Sir W. Heathcote and Mr. Fleming are alarmed for the fate of their bacon. CHESTES.—Sir W. Egerton feels his seat unsteady. Mr. Cunliffe Offiey, who is pledged to support Reform, it is thought, will push the present member from his stooL SHATTESBURY.—Mr. Dugdale has but doubtful hold here. Mr. Maberly, the other member, it is said, has been engaged in an active canvas for the county of Surrey, with a flattering prospect of success. Mr. Briscoe's friends, how ever, deny this statement, and assert that the present mem bers are too securely seated in the saddle for any one, not possessing a giant's strength, to have any chance of unseat ing them. WORCESTERSHIR.E..—CoIoneI Lygon must prepare for a strong contest here : great exertions will be made to oust him, and to put a popular candidate in his place. BEDFORDSHIRE.—Mr. Stuart, it is said, declines to de fend himself. He retires from his stronghold, and makes way for a reformer, in accordance with the public feeling, which is strongly in favour of the ministerial measure. LEWES.—Sir John Shelley, it is said, will show fight, but the chances are against him, as the elegant natives of Bevis Marks would say, in the proportion of Threadneedle street to a China orange. CHESHIRE.—A change is contemplated in this county. Reform carries the sway here, and Mr. Wilbraham having voted for the Bill, it is thought will succeed. WA awiCK.—The reform party are in full activity here ; their hostility is directed against Sir Charles Greville, whose vote against the bill will lose him his seat, should an active opponent present himself as a candidate for the favours of the electors. ISLE or Wm lIT.—A declaration is in the course of sig nature in this island by freeholders, stating their determina tion to go to the poll, in case of an election for the county, and vote for Sir James Macdonald and Mr. C. S. Lefevre, free of any expense to those gentlemen. SUSSEX.-- - It was rumoured last week in some quarters that Mr. John Villiers will start for this county. Should he do so, ho would thereby strengthen Sir John's falling in terest in the borough of Lewes. ESSEX .—Long Wellesley intends again to try his fortune; the trial in that way bus already proved a pretty severe one for Essex. Colonel Tyrrell must prepare him self for warm work—something beyond mere skirmishing may be expected. Mr. Cavendish's friends have already taken measures to secure his re-election for the University of Cambridge. Mr. R. H. Gurney and Mr. Robert Grant have announced their intention to offer themselves again for Norwich Berke Chronicle. The Hustings Iris states, that should Sussex return four members, in all probability Sir Godfrey Webster and Mr. Herbert Cartels will be elected for the eastern part. It is reported that Mr. Throckmorton, of linckland- House, will be a candidate for the county at the next elec tion. The Huntingdon Gazette states, that an independent can didate will offer himself for the suffrages of the electors of that county, in opposition to Lord Mandeville, in the event of Lord John Russell or Mr. Hooper declining to offer themselves. Sir Robert Peel will not, it is rumoured, stand at the coming election for the borough of Tamworth, of which ho has hitherto been the half-patron ; it is added that he means to start for Dover, in which place he expects the eurport of a considerable body of freemen, through the influence of his noble friend the Duke of Wellington, the Warden of the Cinque Ports. S:r. A Lan Ns.—This borough will be contested. The bit ting members are Lord Grimston and Mr. Tennant. Sir F. Vincent, Bart. is the new candidate. He is a staunch re former, and exceedingly popular in the borough. BIA L DON .—There is a fine opening in this borough for an enterprising candidate, in lieu of Mr. Quintin Dick, who, it will be recollected, has uniformly voted against reform ; and if the county of Essex should have the number of its mem bers ultimately increased to four, Mr. Lennard will, in all probability, be returned by the freeholders, so that the seat for Maldon might be considered as on a permanent footing to a new corner—good behaviour, of course, permitting. S. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, APRIL 23.—(From a Cor respondent.)—Never was political excitement at a higher pitch than it is here at the present moment. The news by the mail this morning (for private intelligence has been re. ceived, that the Royal Signature was actually affixed to the Proclamation for dissolving Parliament), has put every one on theydi vire. The law men are all in bustle and mo tion. Thomas Wentworth Beaumont, Esq. one of the re- - presentatives for Northumberland, and the staunch friend of reform, has had the most flattering offers made to him, on the part of those professional gentlemen who acted for him in 1826 and subsequently, namely—that to chew their attach. meat to the JUST CAUSE which now occupied the attention of the vast majority of the wealth, talent, and respectability of the nation, their services should be performed gratuitously for him at Aluwick, at the approaching election. A meeting of the freeholders of Northumberland, resident at and near the Westgate, (one of the suburbs of Newcastle,) is convened for Monday next, with a view to adopt such measures as are best calculated to ensure the return to Parliament of two Members who will support his Majesty's Ministers in that efficient system of reform which it is now admitted is essential to the peace and happiness of the British empire. At North Shields, yesterday afternoon, there was a very full meeting of the Northumberland free holders resident in that quarter; and it certainly augurs wail for the future, that there was only one sentiment pervading the minds of all classes, i. e. that it was the permanent duty of the electors to prevent the voice of North,no berland being stifled in the Senate, by an Anti-114one Member being again sent to the House. At the pie sent crisis,-a crisis big with the fate of the na tion the eyes of all men were turned to the talented eon of the noble Premier. Lord Howick was consi dered by far the most befitting person to be put in no ' minatiou with Mr. Beaumont for the representation of Northumberland ; and in order to ascertain his lordship's sentiments upon the subject, a letter was to be addressed to his lordship forthwith, detailing several important matters which, just now, it would be premature to notice further. Another report is current, that should my Lord Howick have any disinclination to come forward for his native county, Mr. James Lash, the well known barrister, and unbend ing supporter of reform, will be solicited to allow himself to be put in nomination for Northumberland. The interest of the Duke of Northumberland w ill, of course, be given to Mr. Bell, whose views of the reform question are certainly not in unison with the public voice ; and this the writer of this article deeply regrets, for there is only one opinion as to the great amiability of character which attaches to the worthy and honourable gentleman. One of Mr. Hunt's fatal errors was his charge against Me. O'Connell. To charge that gentleman with corruption was kicking against a stone wall. The calculations upon these movements give a change of at least seventeen members, equal of course to 34 on a di vision in favour of the present ministers. THE GOVERNMENT BOROUGHS.—These strongholds and Treasury redoubts are at present, in many cues at least, in the bands of the enemy. Upon a new muster-roll being made out, they will of course be found fighting on the side where their allegiance is due. Those to which we more particularly allude are—Harwich, Queenborougb, Rye, Dover, Plymouth, and Hastings, returning a total of seven members, which, taken from the opposite force, and added to the ranks of the ministers, will give, upon a division, an addition of 14 to the cause of reform. In Ireland, a dissolution and new election will secure to the Reform Administration a very considerable accession of strength. The following are some of the changes which may be fairly calculated upon : DOW NM I RE.—The Londonderry interest, it is said, will be attacked here; as, under existing circumstances, there cannot be a coalition between the Hill and Stewart interests, it is thought that Lord Castlereagh must.give way ; by re tirement or retreat, whichever it may be denominated, will make room for Col. Ford, who is a declared reformer. WEXFORD CO UNT Y.—Sir Thomas Esmond, who is pledged to support the Reform Bill, is named as the suc cessor of Lord Valentia, who will either retire, or be turned out. KERRY.—Mr. M. Fitzgerald, the well-known Knight of Kerry, will not, it is said, stand again. His retirement, it is rumoured, will make way for M. J. O'Connell. CARLOW COURTY..-.Mr. Horace Rochfort is mentioned as likely to start on the reform interest in this county. His return will be effected, if at all, at the expense of Mr. Kava nagh's ejectment. LONOIORD COVRTY..--BOth members are Anti-Re formers ; one, it is anticipated, will go out. Lord Forbes is said to be the weakest. BANDON-BRIDGE (s nomination Borough.)—Lord Ber nard retires, to make room for a friend of the Duke of De vonshire, whose turn it will be to nominate an independent Member. LEITRIM COUNTY.—The independent interest of this county are looking out for a candidate. To speak in mild terms, we should say this bodes no good to Col. Clements. DONEGAL COUNTY.—General Hart, who does not con shier any reform necessary, it is strongly suspected, will lose his privilege of franking. LOUTH COUNTY.—The vote given by Mr. M'Clintock on the Reform Bill, and that alone, will probably cost him his seat. Mr. Sheil is mentioned as likely to become Mr. Dawson's colleague. DROGHEDA.—Mr. North, it is said, certainly goes out. COLERAINE BOROUGH.—The Beresford nomination likely to go for nothing here. The electors will tective nothing short of an independent representative. DUBLIN CITY, it is said, will have no Reform Member. MoNAo 'IAN. —Here will be change, not of the re i n e sentative, but of the party. Mr. Chapsnan's vote in favour of the Bill has rendered him popular ‘‘i!li the Reform party, who take him up warmly, whilst these by Whorl he was originally returned, now turn upon' I.ini, and become his opponents. WEXFORD TOWN.—Sir Edward Dering has serious ap prehensions. Those who are in the secret, say not unfounded ODES. QUEEN'S COUNTY.-Our informant says very little cere mony will be used towards the present MemLer, Sir C harles Coote. Mr. Cassidy, it is said, Will paint out to Liu the road to Reform. Newits.—Where is the reforming spirit of thy great namesake (ancestor he certainly was nct) Mr. Knox The independents of Newry reject thee, John Knox. SCOTLAND.—In this independent and well reprk dented part of the empire, where ye are to a d the people repttdinte reform, the numbers, as early as the•; can be ascertained, are, for the bill of Lord John Russel:, fifteen ; against it, twenty-seven. Three members have not vet declared their sentiments. A dissolution would, it is thought, Ovs a re turn in favour of the measure. The conclusion which we draw from these our anticipa. tions, is, that a dissolution of parliament and genet ;,1 elec tion, will give to Mini:l:n . 3 an advantri,-o ❑pon the great question to the following extent : .
