he would risk in one day his whole military fame, and that even supposing he MIS successful, he would still have to contend with a population determined to bury itself under the ruins of ii.s capital. The 31st protocol is said to have been drawn up nt M. de Talleyrand's request, in older to restore confidence in the pacific intentions, and the con tinuation of good harmony among the powers. LisnoN, Au°. 15.—Don Miguel, or at least his Government, has began already to neglect the performance of those solemn pledges which it had l ate ly given to the English Minister. In conse quence of the popular commotions u Bich took place here upon the arrival of the French squadron in .he Tagus, several arrests have taken place; imongst those so arrested are several British sub leers. The English Consul immediately protested against these proceedings, but the Portuguese Go vernment not being inclined to extend its indul gence towards those who have relapsed into error, these foreign prisoners are still subjected to the ,veight cf the accusations which are directed I:riiiist them. The English Consul has de ,landed of his Government formal and precise Instructions with regard to these fresh outrages. —For some days tranquillity has been restored. The tri-coloured flag e:zcites no longer a feeling of revolt among the people, who are now familiarised to a flag which hitherto they have looked upon as the symbol of conquests. The manager of the Gazette du Midi has been sentenced to 15 days' intprisonment, a fine of 300 francs, and 3000 francs d:ona,r;es, for defamatory language spoken of the Mayor of Marseilles during the late elections.— ne printer has heen sentenced to 15 days' imv,)ri olinient, 150 francs fine, and one thousand francs Rom v., Alio. 16. —M. Zamboni, Inspector- Gmeral of the Pontifical troops, had been sent to recruit in Switzerland and in some towns in Lom bards, in order to complete the 15,000 tile» of the Pope's army. The Government remitted to him a sum of 33,000 francs (6,000 Roman crowns) to commence with. The same sum will be for warded to him weekly, according as he wants it, until he shall have raised 6,000 men.— Those sums, together with the moneys paid by the Pope to the Austrian army of occupa tion, have exhausted the resources of the Apos tolica Chamber, and forced the Government to sell some of the Church property. It was consequently found necessary to have recourse to a new loan, in order to equip and arm the 15,000 men the Pope is soon to have in his pay. The house of Rothschild, London, and several other English banking establishments, have offered three millions of Roman crowns, or 60,0001. sterling, on conditions that the Pope should mortgage to them the Custom duties of the fair of Sinigaglia. Mr \ ico, June I.—We are by no means in a satisfactory state here ; the Army supports the Priests, and the Priests help to pay the Army. Be tn•ecn both of them the natives are kept in subjec tion, while they smile and submit. How long their patience may last is a difficult thing to foresee. A revolution took place among our neighbours Gvatemalans) a short time ago, which to tally changed both church and state. They had citablislied a federation, in imitation of ours in the north, giving it the right of interfering with the Confederated States ; which by the help of a stand ing army, they endeavoured to put by force in ex ecution. But the States rose up, opposed, and put do«•u such federalism ; and, finding the churcb had encouraged the tyrannic usurpation both with their money and influence, they seized the property of the church, and banished the priests and their faction ; since which they have been peaceably and quietly permitted to make an economical and tational Federature, which only cost half a million' of dollars a year, and the States about as much— about half a dollar a head. It is a great novelty is finance to see a territory of 162,000 square miles—more than all Europe, excluding the Russian Empire—governed at the expence of a million of dollars. Guatemala, or, as it has been called, Central America,was the most turbulent state of the whole a bile they tolerated an army of soldiers and priests ; since they Lave disbanded both, every thing is peace and quietness. Every thing that deranges political equality, encourages iniquity, vice, and crime. 'Alorality and political equality will be soon proved synonymous. NEW 'HA RNIONT, July.—They have been using in the United States an invention of stone engrav in:7. made to fit into the types like wood. There is a rock of the transition class, the same of which whetstones or hones are made. It is in the grow wak slate. When it comes from the quarry it is rather soft, mid can be engraved on easily ; and, v.hen heated to a certain degree, becomes as hard and only reduces the eng raving to a smaller , :z%•.vhicli will last for ever, and be neater and sharp er the lines than it is possible to be in wood, which very soon loses that distinct angular sharpness, by the application of the balls and brushes to the forms. .1t the printing-office at the school of New Har r-way, it is almost entirely employed in those small books for the working classes which are published and distributed among the farmers by peddling carts, driven by the boys of the school to their doors, with a great collection of prints drawn off from 1,600 copper-plates brought from Europe ; and caricatures, made to give an idea, at a glance, of sound opinions on politics, taxes, na tional debt, &c. mor e correctly than could be ma naged by many pages of printing. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPT. 3. ONE O'CLOCK, THIS DAY.—Thermometer, 64. Ba rometer, 29-90. Wind N.N.W. Weather, fair. The Dutch mail of this morning brings an ar ticle from the Prussian State Gazette, of the 26th 01 August, ct,ntaining Russian reports of the ope rations in Poland, and, in fact, nothing new, and, .f course, nothing unfavourable to the Poles. We, iimever, regard the information as highly favour -Jib., since the proper business of the Russians is off nce, and the initiative of operations. The season is wearing fast away, and the Russians are not in a position to receive reinforcements, pile it is notorious, that their army has long been softering front pi ivations, disease, and disorgani zation. The only consolation which the Prussian %le Gazette affords to the partizans ofl Courts, is the assertion that the Polish population is not hostile, and the probable fact that the Poles are wearied of the war. There are sycophants enough every where, to say agreeable things to a General of an army, in the occupation of a coun try ; but to boast of this, and have only this boast, augurs, in our opinion, that the campaign, if hostilities are continued, will end unfavourably to the Russians. On the other hand, it is admitted that the Polish army is at least equal in number to the Russians; and then in spirit, we should consider every ten Poles as an overmatch for twenty or thirty Russians. It is, however, not to be dissem bled, that the ardour of the Poles is likely to be damped, by those divisions among themselves, of which we have lately had too many proofs. There can be no doubt, but that during the long Russian occupation of Warsaw, they must have established many intimate connections, who have viewed with evil-eye the ascendancy of the Polish Patriots ; and who, no doubt, have held correspondence with the Russian Generals, during the entire conflict. Russian money and intrigue may, therefore, effect more than military operations, and produce mistrust and dissention among the Poles, fatal to their military energies. If .he ambition of PAs K EWITSC II to achieve that in which DIEBITSCII so totally failed does not lead to a battle, or if the Poles can be brought to agree to such a basis as Franc• and England may suggest, and do not prefer in the sprint of chivalry to put every thing at hazard, we are fully per suaded that negotiations are on foot, to put an end 1 1 to this disgraceful war. It is not, however, to be concealed, that ihe Poles are neither a commercial nor calculating people, and that they still cherish a spirit of heroism, which, under the banners of honour and Poland, will prevent their submitting to any ignominious compromise. We do not believe that they will lay down their arms, unless Warsaw, and a respectable ter ritory, be rendered wholly independent of Russia ; and all the compromise which can be expected or extorted will be, to concede some provinces to Russia, and perhaps some others to Austria and Prussia. In this point of view, the war may not be so near its end as benevolence and diplomacy may wish. If they reconcile their own differences, and if PA S K EWITSCII gains no decisive advantage, before the middle of September, Russia will never again be able to make head against Poland, while united Poland would be in little fear from the other royal robbers. Readers of the Debate will observe, that no less than Five Clauses of the Reform Bill were agreed to last night, and that the House met again to-day, to consider the 30th, and some subsequent Clauses. Other Clauses, to its desirable end, are like those which passed last night—of mere formal and technical character ; and we should not wonder, if by this day week, we should have the gratifica tion to announce, that it had passed through the Committee. The report, and the third reading, may, therefore, be expected to be effected in another week ; and thus this herculean labour will be accomplished. Let us hope that the Mi nister will then consider himself at leisure to pursue other objects, whose delay or neglect hare created so reasonable an impatience in the country. The support which Ministers, in so trying a period, hare experienced from the press, warrants us in the expectation, that his earliest object will be to redeem his pledge to the newspapers—to reduce the oppressive stamp duty, and the injurious tax on advertisements. If the Exchequer stand in need of an extra half million, the most certain means of producing it, will be to reduce the present duties, a full half, or two thirds. We also anticipate that the six acts, which so unconstitutionally interfere with cheap publi cations, and the liberty of the subject, will no longer be allowed to disgrace the statute book. We venture to surmise, that distinct announcements in regard to these, and other ameliorations in Parliament, previous to the day of , the Coronation, is a duty of Ministers to His MAJESTY, with a view to give every possible eclat and sincerity to the rejoicings which are zontemplated through the country, on the auspi cious day of the installation of a PATRIOT KING. In the present stagnation of trade, and the deeply lamented distresses of the artisans and labouring classes of this Metropolis, we venture to suggest, as a kind, a liberal, and a practicable concession, that on the day of THL CORONATION, a solid and moderate festival, open to all corners, should be given in the several parishes of the Metropolis. It might be effected at the moderate cost of eighteenpence per plate, including eatables and a pot of porter. The expense would be cheerfully contributed, by a collection from house to house ; and the rate-payers would not be grudge, that any deficiency should be made good, from the ordinary public assessments. We are persuaded that the general adoption of such a plan would be most agreeable to the public authorities, and especially to the Royal Family, and to their MAJESTIES. In fact we have no doubt, that those illustrious personages—the no bility—the great capitalists— and others, would liberally contribute to popular enjoyment on such an occasion. In the House of Lords last night, the Lord Chancellor, with consistency of public character, and in agreement with those talents from which the country has expected so much, brought in his Bill to amend the obsolete and anti quated processes which now bring contempt on the practice of our Ecclesiastical Courts. It was read a first time, and ordered to be printed. In a few days, we will lay a copy before our readers. Lord Aberdeen, &c. introduced some quibbling about Portugal, &c.—only interesting to themselves. In the House of Commons, an immense variety of very interesting petitions were presented by dif ferent members ; and among others, three by Mr. Littleton from traders in London, who are desirous that the first day of the week, or the LORD'S day, should be kept after the manner of the Jewish sabbath, or the seventh day. Colonel Torrens supported the petitions on civil grounds. Mr. Hunt and Mr. Weyland objected to any increase of penalties; after which they were laid on the table. Sir R. Vyvyan made some observations about the new protocols, which Lord Althorp treated as of no importance. In the Committee on the Reform Bill, the 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, and 29th Clauses were passed, after some discussion, in which Sir E. Sugden dis tinguished himself. On the 27th Clause, a divi sion took place on an amendment by Sir T. Free mantle-29 to 102. The 28th Clause was wholly omitted. The Game Bill was read a third time and passed.

It is now the general opinion, and confirmed from various quarters, that we may soon expect to hear of some arrangement between the Russians and the Poles ; and it is to be hoped it will take place before a general battle. The French troops, to the number of 30,000, which are said to remain in Belgium, are to be en tirely at the disposal of King Leopold. Port au Prince papers to the 11th July, have been received at the North and South American Coffee House; but they are very uninteresting, and do not contain any news. A private letter from Brussels states, that it was impossible to describe the consternation that pre vailed there, when the contents of the Protocol, No. 34, was known. The Belgian Ministry were greatly surprised, and several Couriers were pent to London and Paris on the subject. THEIR MAJESTIES. WINDSOR, FRIDAY.—Owing to the incessant rain that fell during yesterday, the King did not join the Queen, and the Royal party at Bushy, as he intended doing in the course of the afternoon. Her Majesty and her dis tinguished party dined at the Queen's Lodge, Busby, which they left at 10 o'clock, on their return to the Castle, w►ere they arrived at a little before 12. Part of the Duchess of Cambridge's establishment left yesterday for Cambridge House, Piccadilly, for which her Royal Highness leaves today; and on the Sunday following the Corona- tion, she will leave London on her return to Hanover. The Queen, accompanied by the Duke of Saxe-Meiningen, the Duchess of Saxe-Weimar, and Lord Frederick Fitz. clarence, left the Castle at half-past nine this morning, for the Pavilion at Brighton, where they will pass the night. The Queen and the Duchess of Saxe.Weimar will leave the Pavilion this day for St. James's Palace, and the Duke of Saxe-51einingen, attended by Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, will proceed to Portsmouth, where they will remain till Monday next. The Landgravinc will accompany the King to town to-morrow, and will continue to reside at St. James's till the 12th inst. when her Royal Highness will take her departure for Hesse Honiberg, which is situated at a few miles from Frankfort. This afternoon there was a conference on the affairs of Belgium at the Foreign ()thee. The Scots Greys are already arrived in town from Brighton, in order to form part of the military parade at the Coronation. They are at present quartered in the neighbourhood of Pimlico. On the evening of the Coronation, Lord Palmer. ston is to give a grand dinner to a party of fifty noblemen and gentlemen, and their ladies, friends of his Lordship. Great preparations are making at the Govern ment offices for a splendid illumination on the even ing of the Coronation. Viscount Goderich has recovered from his in disposition ; and the Bishop of London, the Commander of the Forces, and Sir James Graham, had interviews with his Lordship, yesterday, at the Colonial Office. All the Pupils of Westminster School are to be admitted to view the ceremony of the Coronation. The tickets offered for sale to view the cere mony of the Coronation, are not the Earl Marshal's tickets, but those belonginging to the Church of Westminster. Formerly the distinguished Members of the House of Commons were remarkable for speaking to the point, but now the Tories estimate the talents of a member according to the length of his speeches in talking against time. The City sportsmen complain that they had very little sport on Thursday, in consequence of the rain and being encumbered with umbrellas, the birds flew away be fore they had time to present. At Hampstead tone unfor tunate Cockney was taken into custody, charged with toottudiati a cow. Wednesday night a wheat stack was tired at Cold Harbour Farm, about five miles from Canterbury. The skeleton of Corder, the murderer, has, after considerable time and labour spent in arranging it, been placed in a recess of the Museum, of the Suffolk Infirmary. Bury St. Edmund's. THE NEw Istßir D.—The French Government have despatched a ship of war to determine the latitude and longitude of the New Island which has sprung up in the Sicilian Sea. between Girgentum and Pasta/aria; and some eminent geologists to examine the structure of the island. Yesterday a young man calling himself Charles Wilmot, and pretending to be a son of Olive, Princess of Cumberland, was charged at Lambeth-street with con. stantly annoying a Mr. Bell, an officer of Customs, and so.' Bating pecuniary assistance. He was ordered to find bail for three months, and committed In default. We believe he is a nephew of the Princess, and has annoyed her as much as Mr. Bill. SECOND EDITION EXPERSS FROM PARIS.-THIS DAY. STAR OFFICE, THREE O'CLOCK. We have just received a Paris Paper of yester day, and a Private Letter, both of which speak of letters in Paris, from Vienna, which state, in posi tive terms, that a suspension of Hostilities had been agreed to ; and that negociations for final arrange ments were carrying on by Plenipotentiaries at the Russian Head-quarters. This intelligence is gene rally credited on 'Change, in our Public Offices, and at the House of Commons, now sitting. It appears that the Russian army had pre viously advanced, and that the Poles hail retreated to the immediate vicinity of Varsa►► there having been no serious conflict, but merely some skirmishes between the advanced posts. If the negociations should prove abortive, the delay will be more advantageous to the Poles than the Russians. There is, of course, much division among the leaders of the Poles, in regard to the terms of accommodation, which they ought to accept. On the Praga side of Warsaw, the communications of the Poles are perfectly free. This intelligence had exalted the French five per cents to 89 fs. 80 c. and the three per cents 59 fa. 10 c. HOUSE OF COMMONS-THIS DAY. At twenty minutes past twelve o'clock the Speaker entered the House. On the Order of the Day being read for the whole house going into a Committee on Tur ton's divorce Bill, the Speaker left the Chair, and the House resolved into a Committee. Mr. Bernal presided. Mr. GA mEIEs, as Counsel in the cause, was heard at some length. The bill passed through a Committee. Mr. PRINGLE presented a petition from Knot tingley, in Yorkshire, relative to the distresses in the Cotton Trade, and praying for relief. He also presented a petition from Laleham, relative to the extreme distress of the working classes. Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. DENNISON presented a petition from Sur rey, complaining of the great danger arising front steam boats on the river Thames. Mr. HEwirr wished to be informed whether his Majesty's Government intended to make any regulations relative to steam boats, in consequence of the loss of the Rothsay Ca.•tic ? The Hon. Mr. LAMB was understood to say, that his Majesty's Government did not at present intend to make any new law on account of the me lancholy loss of life on that occasion. In fact, there was at present a law to regulate the naviga tion of steam-vessels now iu force.—Petition ordered to lie on the table, and be printed. Mr. BLAMIRE presented a petition from the Shipowners, &c. of Cumberland, against the Tax on Marine Insurance. An Hon. MEMBER wished to know whether any, and what measures had been adopted, to pre vent the burnings in the night time which still ex isted. He thought that now the nights were long the most decisive measures should be taken, before the nights grew shorter, to put such a force in operation, as would set such diabolical and de structive acts at defiance. Lord A LTHORP said his Majesty's Government had already adopted measures for the purpose. Mr. CHOKER said he was sure every voice would be raised in that house, in support of the most severe and decided measure to put a stop to the practice. The ATTOax Eir-G EN ER • L presented a petition, complaining of the delay in passing the reform bill. Sir E. SUODEN said, his Majesty's Government had not until this moment been prepared to proceed with the bill. He had had, only half an hour be fore, several new clauses put into his hands, to be adopted in lieu of others. Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. PRINGLE presented three petitions from places in Scotland, praying that no alteration might take place affecting their ancient rights in the reform bill. Mr. C. BRUCE presented several petitions pray ing that the union of counties might not take place. That holders of houses of £lO might be entitled to vote at elections. Mr. HENRY G RATT A N presented a petition fro :a the Dissenters of the County Down, praying that an alteration may take place in the Vestry Act, and that the poor may bo maintained out of the first fruits. The Hon. Member also presented a petition from a person named Kirkland, praying that Huuse to take his case into consideration, and grant him re lief, denying, that he had made large sums at elec tions in Ir2land, and declaring that the witnesses against him were perjured. This fact, the hon. member said, he could fully confirm of his own knowledge. The House of Lords was occupied this day in hearing Scotch appeals. Dra. Turner and Thomson have published a statement in support of the decision of the London (Mi sts-sky Committee, in the afair of Pro'cssor Patison. It appears that the latter attended the Dispensary but 13 times, and Dr. T. 37 times! The British man-of-war Druid lately captured, near Bahia, a slave schooner, with 58 %laves. They had nearly finished searching her, o hen by chance an officer put his 'word into the bunghole of one of the water-tubs, and was answered by a cry from within. The cask was opened, and out crept three unhappy blacks. The daughter of a late Lord Chancellor not long since received a considerable accession of fortune under the will of a person enjoying a post in the Custou.s, who, having co near relatives of his own, gave as a reason for so dis posing of his accumulations. that having received hi , ap ponitinent from the lady's father, he considered her his rightful heir. The Duchess Dowager of Rutland, who, a few days since, was seized with a paralytic affection. died yester day morning, at her house in Sackville-street, at the ad vanced age of 76. She was the beautiful wife of that Duke who died in the office of Lord Lieutenant, and fur many years one of the most admired and attractive widows of her time. She was long the pink of fashion, without ever being charged with any of its vices. For some years she has lived in retirement, surrounded by her grandchildren. Don Pedro, the ex-Emperor, is quoted in three different capacities.—First, in the history of music, as an amateur composer ; again, in thy Itisuxy of Portuguese literature, as a Brazilian writer ; lastly, as a poet, having himself set to music several of his effusions. CHOLERA MORBUS. At a time like the present, when universal alarm pre vails, from a fear of being visited by this dreadful scourge, and when the English Cholera was neve' before known to be so prevalent, it behoves every one, not only to ~tAerse the strictest precaution in their diet, to avert, it p its uncertain an momentary attack, but to he al •o pre pared with the most efficient remedies, on ti:e first intima tion of its approach. To counteract predisposition to such a malady, and to resist its rapidly progressive effects, Physicians of Fie first eminence, who have witnessed its ravages, invari..hly recom mend the use of pure Brandy as an indispensable requisite ; and as they have also discovered from practical it-cults, that in every case of Cholera a superabunctim accumulation of acid prevails, J. T. Betts and Co. feel it a duty tht y owe to the Public again to point attention to the ruperiar merits of their Patent French Distilled Brandy, whist has the important recommendation of being fret fro.. those acids and astringent ina!ter which eontaioitiate the foreign Spirit, while its perfect resemblance in flavour to the fines. Cognac has confounded the best judges of Spirits in distinguishing between them. The frillnwing testimonials of eminent Citymisit, by whom the Paten Brandy has been analysed, are submittsd as suffi cient evidence of its me-eminent claims to utiivasal patron. age, and to welcome it as the antidote to tie threaieti,d evil, as the concomitant specific by which to estape its frightful couscquences.

BOW-STREET.--TRAGRDY U REED To EtacE.—thi Thursday night, Sir Richard Birnie having taken his teat upon the hutch, between seven and eight o'clock, Mr. HAY HER, the attorney, appeared on behalf of Mesa. Street and Eve, who ate connected with The Satirist, and stated that }Liars. Bond and Bliss, the parties charged on a warrant with having feloniously assaulted Mr. Eve, with intent to molder him, had given notice of their intention to surrender themselves into custody that night at 7 o'clock. at this office, and lie wished to know if they had surrendered themselves to Salmon, the officer, who held the warrant? Salmon said they had not surrendered, though he under stood front their solicitor that they would do so that night. Mr. ALLEY and lilt. C. PHILLIPS, the Counsel lot the accused, arrived about helfpast seven o'clock, and consulted with Mr. Henson, the prisoners' attorney, in the private room for some time. It was understood by some persons that the accused were ilea's. at a house not far from the othee, sod that before they surrendered, they wished to have a pledge from dr. Harmer that he would not persist in making a charge of capital felony against them, but merely prefer a charge of assault end battery. As the huur of eight approached, the Lffice became crowd ed to excess, and it is a long time since we witnessed such an assemblage of " Gentlemen upon the Town." Sir RICHARD BEANIE expressed some impatience at the delay of business, occasioned by tue parties not appearing, and also his doub sas to whether "it was nut all a hoax," when Messrs. Alley and Phillips presented themselves upon the Bench. Mr. ALLsr observed, that the time was passed which was appointed by his clients to surrender, and he and his learned friend had been in the private room fur above half an hour anxiously waiting their arrival; they, however, had not ap peared, and be could not give any reason why they had nut done so. Mr. Hawaii—Your clients, Mr. Alley, under your ad. vice, have no doubt acted with a very IVIPC discretion in out surrendering. Me. ALLZY—Let me tell you, Mr. Harmer, that when a client of mine is charged with a capital felony, it would be utterly impossible for me to act so improperly as to advise him not to surrender himself into custody. Mr. Hartman—l conceived the party might have been PO advised, because I told Mr. Henson this day when he called upon nie, that I should press the charge of capital icloby against them. Mr. PHILLIPS—I came here, supposing my dent would surrender; but you sea what a dreadful wet night it is (laughter;) it is shocking bad weather. (Loud laughter.) Mr. Axxsir (the rain pouring in torrents on 'hr skylight of the Office), assuming a gravity that did not ►ir very easily upon his physiognomy, observed, that it was not a night It for a dog to go out, and .hat the absence of his client must tie owing to the inclemency of the weather. (Laughter.) Mr. Ilwasaa—To come to the point at once, the lac. is, after being kept here upon your notice, the parties aid nut show themselves, and therefore Salmon will exercise his lance to take them. Ur. PHILLtra—A very fine night fur the officer to go bunting the streets after felons. Sir H. BILNIE ord.red the officer to tbe his best esertitn.s to apprel,end the parties. Mr. ALUM: Well, the rain seems somewhat abated— good night, gentlemen—lion biers yuu (laughter.) Sir It. Maxie: %Veil, now tnts farce is ended, char the office.
