A letter from Valenciennes states, that the French army on the frontiers has been reinforced by a division of infantry under General Janin,and hritratle of cavalry.. This new corps will aug ment the army of the North to 70,000 men. The expedition of the Constitutionalists of Ter ceira, Don Pedro will take the chief command, and Count Villatior, wbo captured Isle St. Michael, will have the command of the same troops with w hom he fought the Miguelites in the war against the Marquis de Chaves.—National. THE EVENING STAR. ONE O'CLOCK. MIS D 7l . ll %—TheTMOlnetef, 70. Ba rometer, 29-68. Weather, fair. Wind S.S.W. The most important motion made in Parliament hat night, and one of the most interesting to public feeling, was that of Mr. Wilk., requiring an account of all pensions, greets, allowances, &c. enjoyed by Peers, their families and relatives. This is striking the nail on the head, and the House clenched it, by directing the return to be made. If their Lordships should think proper to reject the Bill, in a way so affronting to the Commons, and to the people of England, the Commons have it completely in their power to cashier such Peers, in regard to all unhallowed portions of the public money which they enjoy. This will be an act of retributive justice, and prove a remedy not hitherto suggested, and for which the public will feel itself under great obligations to the active genius of Mr.W Lica. In direct allowances per favour, and not for services, real or even pre tended, this would effect a saving of at least two hundred thousand a year; and on such a subject, started at such a crisis, no small impatience is likely to be displayed by the public. It is a fit question for petitions and addresses to the House of Commons from every part of the nation ; and that House would compromise its character for consistency, and the majority would deservedly lose the confidence of their constituents, if another shilling of the pub lic money, and oppressive taxes, were paid to any Peer who corruptly opposes himself to the Reform Bill. These concessions have hitherto been acquiesced in, and might never have been disturbed, if a doe regard to the public welfare, and the rights of those wbo pay, had been displayed by those who receive ; but the Duke of NEW CASTLE'S, the Marquis of EXETER'S, and Lord WARWICK'S Law, applies by strict analogy in this case; and as Mr. WILLS'S motion has procured for him the admiration of the public, so the carry ing it into force will entitle the House of Com mons—the controllers of the public purse—alike to the admiration and gratitude of this age, and of all posterity. We have this day the afflicting task to perform of announcing the termination of all our aspirations, in behalf of the ever-to-be-honoured and lamented Poles. Deserted by all Europe, and 'insulted by shuffling and equivocal diplomacy, these brave men have abandoned their country en masse, and sought asylum in the tender mercies of Austria and Prussia, rather than allow themselves to be conquered, and submit to the degrading domination of Russia. Thus, the brave army of the brave ROMARINO retreated southward, and threw itself into Austria and Gal icia; and to-day we ascertain that the remnant who marched southward are, in like manner, preparing to throw themselves into the part of Poland stolen by Prussia. A more heart-rending spectacle never was presented in the history of human affairs ; and it is proportionally disgraceful to all Statesmen now in power in the European Courts. We cannot trust our pens to speak on the subject ; but the crime will be punished by the course of events, for it is engraven in the hearts of all man kind ; and the results of such deep impressions will appear when least expected. For the present, we are exposed to the additional suffering of reading of the base triumph* of the despot and his adhe rents. It is our fate even to see the barbarians lauded, and the Poles and their cause subjected to coarse and foul accusations ;••lIUT, cusses LIGHT OV THE WRETCH who disgraces the power of language, and the sanctity of the printing press, by any imputations on the just and holy cause, and on the heroic sacrifices of this brave people. We challenge the annals of ancient history— Me defy the poets and historians of Greece and Rome —to produce any instance which to the end of time will furnish more lamentation to virtuous feelings, than the progress and termina tion of the Polish contrast of 1831. As a corollary to the gloomy triumph of despo tism recorded in the previous sentences, we neer tiin by the Brussels papers, received this day, that Leohan finds it necessary to put his Belgic kingdom into a state of serious defence. Rus sian politics are now progressing south 'ard and the Holy Alliance baring lost their fears about Poland. are beginning to do i:nneer in Belgium. The former armistice expires on Monday, and we have various dend-official ru mours, that it has been—or is to be—renewed for six weeks. As, however, the King of HOL L• D doubtless, encouraged to rise in his demands— for he is part and pareel of the Holy Alliance—so additional precautions become necessary in King LIOPOLD. it appears also that the French armies are augmenting on the Belgic frontiers, and as the Holy Alliance must long since have hems inspired with profound contempt for the sneaking policy of the Court of the Polak Royale ; it is by no means improbable, but an attempt will be made to put a similar end to the Belgic insurrection, as that which has been permitted in Poland. We hope this may not be the consequence ; but the ignoble policy of the French Cabinet, in regard to Poland, holy, &c. is not unlikely to stimulate to war, those who are so prone to engage in it. The debate in the House of Lords last night, drew a very numerous audience, chiefly ladies, and the public parts of the House were crowded by Peers' orders,no other title to admission being recog nized. The interest of the people was also proved by the crowds in the vicinity. A petition from Dover against the office of Lord Warden, rendered the Duke of Wellington very sensitive. Some Scottish petitions led to ob servations on the state of that country, and the same Duke inferred, from its growing prosperity, that no Reform was necessary— forgetting that the foundation of the present state 4)f the country was laid by the enormous public expenditure during the war ; and by the facility of credit which arose from the paper currency, effects which have been gradually abating, and which never arose from a state of liberty, but from designs of an oppnsite character,. Observations therefore about the representation, deduced from local prosperity, are utterly irre levant. His Grace may have been a lucky General, but he is a very unfortunate reasoner. Petitions continue to pour in, and the Lord Chancellor alone presented eleven. Lord Falmouth commenced the Debate, and no ticed Mr. Hunt's dissatisfaction with the Bill, as well as Lord Radnor's recommendation of Mr. Cobbett : he seemed also much alarmed about the ballot, and described himself as a reformer; but with limitations which render his liberality worse than useless. Lord Roseberry admitted that he was not ori ginally a Parliamentary reformer; but he thought favourably of the Bill, and should give it his support, subject to such alterations u he intended to propose in the committee. Lord Carnarvon made a ♦ery impassioned speech against the Bill, which he described as complicated, and too comprehensive in its objects. He also im peached the ulterior views of the Reformers, and quoted the declarations made at public meetings, as dangerous and alarming. He sat down in consequence of personal exhaustion. Lord Plunkett followed in a very splendid speech in defence of the Bill, in which he was so conclu sive in opposing the declamations of the other side, that Lord Falmouth Interrupted him—denying that be was favourable to reform; but that modified reform should receive his consideration. Soon after the Duke of Wellington was stimulated to qualify a reference to his opinions. Lord Plunkett rejoined, and the Duke of Wellington rebutted, which Lord Plunkett resented—on which the Chancellor interposed, and with great warmth deprecated such interrup tions. Soon after Lord Harrow by took fire, and spoke to order ; after which Lord Plunkett con. cluded, with only two other interruptions from Lord Londonderry, amidst the repeated cheers of the house, as splendid a speech as ever had been heard within its walls. In fact, it de serves to be printed in the cheapest forms, and circulated in every town and parish. It not only supported the question affirmatively, but it negatived and beat down all the prejudices ad vanced by the other side. Lord Wynford essayed I to follow Lord Plunkett; but the agitation of the House prevented his being beard, on which Lord Grey moved an adjournment, and stated, that if not concluded that night, that decision should take place on Saturday. In the House of Commons, Mr. Wilks made that excellent motion relative to the Peerage, which we notice in another place. Lord Ingestrie presented a petition from forty beneficed Clergy men of Ireland, against the obstructions opposed to the collection of tithes. This led to a deb.ite. which was concluded by Mr. Stanley, who thought the period very inconvenient to interfere. Colonel Perceral then made a motion against non-resident Irish Lord Lieutenants, which after a prolonged discussion was withdrawn. Mr. Powlett Thomson moved for a Committee to enquire into the state of our West India interests, which was agreed to, and the Committee appointed. Those who affect any doubts about the popularity of the Reform Bill, and the immovable determina tion of all classes to have it carried, need only con sider the fact, of the election of the Lord Mayor in opposition to Sir Peter Laurie, who was supported by the usages of the Corporation. but whose attachment to the Bill was not distinctly avowed. We may also refer to the great struggle now pending in Dorsetshire, where, against e _ _ _ long established Tory influence, the last repert left Mr. PONSOXIST had a nusjority of owe; and to achieve this great object, there is no desk dot the exertions and sacrifices of the Freeholders of Doreetshire have been of the most exemplary character. We consider it our duty, though a mortifying one, to state that a general impression pervades the metropolis, and especially many official quar ters, that the Reform Bill will be rejected in the Howe of Lords. Should it be so, the next will be a busy portentous political weak among the people of England. The division is expected to-morrow night, and we shall not be inattentive to the impatience of our readers, to re ceive the earliest information. We have just received papers by the Dutch mail, containing merely some intelligence about the progress of the cholera, and some is of the troops on the Belgic frontier, indicative of concentration. SECOND EDITION SIX O'CLOCK. HOUSE OF LORDS—Tars EveNtxo. Petitions in fa•oator Reform were preseuted by a mem ber of Peen ; also by the Bishop of Chichest e r, to the the mine effect from Huntingdon.

As long as he hada a leg to stand upon. (Laughter below the bar.) The noble and learned lord being almost wholly supported by crutches) se long as he had a leg to stand upon, and should oppose this most revolutiona►y bill, which went to destroy all the venerated institutions of the country. He hoped be should be able to convince the noble earl opposite of the correctness of his opinion. He should proceed with the speech of his noble friend (Lord Plunkett). He had said that be should argue the principle of the bill from the beginning of that noble lord's speech, not a word bad been said on the principles of the bill. He bad also said, that since reform was necessary with lords on that side of the house, did not mean to deny that, or to turn themselves against every re. form bill; they ware, however, determined to oppose this measure of the noble earl, which would soon be lest In re. volution.—Left speaking. In the House of Commons to this hour, the Members were occupied in receiving petitions on various subjects. One was presented by Colonel , Evans, against duties on Newspapers, from the inhabitants of Bloomsbury—one by Mr. Hunt from the Rev. R. Taylor, complaining of cruel treatment, which was followed by one of the usual debates, in which Mr. Trevor, Mr. Goulburn, and Mr. Briscoe, took part, and the petition was ordered to lie upon the table. A petition was presented Mr. J. Wood, from Pres ton, against the Beer Act Amendment Bill, which, alter a few words from Mr. Hunt, was or dered to lie on the table.

" Reject the Bill I"—the Tories madly cry. " No change our Pterleu Invitations need !" " Pause, ere ye do"-4s England's stern reply. " Or pen. perchance. slay Pter-leu be Indeed." _ _ _ If the Anti• Reformers will not yield t reason, perhaps the followine plain fact, may startle them. They are classed under the two heads of certain and probable consequences of a rejection of Reform. The certain consequences will be— , 11. A prolonged agitation of this dangerous question for at least or eight months more. Y. A could/rale intemapton of important Parliaments. bush...afar that time. 3. A state of weakness with regard to our foreign relators 4. A widened stagnation of the retail, moneyed, com mercial and manufacturing interests. 6. The continued public discussion of fundamental print'. pies al Government by opposite classes in a state of angry exeltenseaL O. A collision Id such a asonesse of the two Houses of Parliament. None *ill deny the certainty of the occurrence of such consequences; and let our Bishors calcu- late their final results ; And then take the probable consequences. 1. A partial or general refusal to pay taxes or tithes. 2. A run upon the country hanks, the savings' banks, the Bank A of England, and thence upon national credit. & pante. 4. Turnings out of trades—political aseociations—federal. 5. General dishes, dissatisfaction--Swing. 6. A published li■t of the Majority, with their place., pensions, boroughs, and connections. 7. Hatred of Peerage—a large creation of Peen—depre ciation of the Peerage. 8 The present Bill with merspouted interest. 11. A Reform Bill for the Lords. Let those who have sense and patriotism, and power, canvass these consequences ; ask them selves whither they will tend —and then, may the LORD direct their understandings. If the Reform Bill isnot passed before Christmas. set end of the London parishes speak of a fixed de termination no longer to pay assessed taxes, and to enter into a self-denying ordinance, to consume no exciseable or taxed commodities. A similar determination is also spoken of in letters from va rious provincial districts. This, it is supposed, would soon cause a reduction of 10 or 12 millions in the revenue, which must be transferred to the aristocracy, or the public credito•s fall short. Notwithstanding there are so many sinister reports about the opposition of certain members of the royal family—feminine babblers in and out of pet ticoats—yet the people have a tower of strength in the Duke of Sussex—an Englishman every inch of him; and, thank GOD, he is about six feet —aye, an Englishman in every grain of his composition; and, thank Goo, he weighs above seventeen stone. His good intelligence on this and every subject is also an impregnable rampart; and happily he en joys the peculiar confidence and affection of his sovereign brother. Another adjournment of the debate on the Re form question took place last night, after a discus sion in which the Earl of Carnarvon was the chief opponent of the Bill, and Lord Plunkett its most distinguished advocate. It is now generally sup posed that their Lordships will divide to-night, or rather on Saturday morning, on the second read ing ; and conjecture still inclines to favour the opi nion that the bill will be lost. The rejection or adoption of the English Reform Bill is now nearly the exclusive subject of con versation of our speculators. They appear to be lieve that the measure proposed by the English Government will not I e adopted ; but they think, at the same time, that that event will bring about no change, nor even modification in the Cabinet of London. However, it is of a nature, without doubt, to inspire, at least momentarily, some in quietude, and it is not astoni s hi ng th at i t s h ou ld occasion feebleness in our fund..—Paris Messages'. The revolution has begun ; and the Lords have no choice but to pass the Bill in obedience to its mandate, or, by rejecting it, to appeal to the laws and call upon the untainted part of the community to support them ! His Majesty will put hineselfat their head, having just sworn to maintain the laws,, and every loyal subject will be at his post. Re form we shall have, no doubt, in due 'season ; but our first business is to put down treason and bring the traitors to justice.—Moraing Post. The most intense sensation which has been cre ated by any circumstance 'ince the commence. meat of the reform discussions, has arisen from the Birmingham meeting. The magnificence of its numbers, the manly tine of its addresses and pro ceedings, and the decisive language of its orators, standing on the bases of truth and justice, have created general admirati te, and become the topic of every circle. It is, however, not to be con cealed, that the anti-reformers, and their miserable sycophants bespatter thu parties with their base canting about violence, sedition, excitement, revo lution, &c. &c. but such phrases break no bones • prove nothing; and are not c a l cu l a t e d to appal th e great souls of such men as conducted the Birming ham meeting, and other such meetings. At the close of Wednesday's poll of the Dot% setshire election, Lotd Ashley's majority over Mr. Pousonby was reduced to one. But his Lordship, as he bitaselfsays, is " a confident fellow ;" and, having at his command " the root of all evil," he may yet succeed. The Anti-Reformers are quite delig . ted with their own wisdom, and their own goodness, and the benefits they have conferred en an ungrateful people, who seem inclined to dispense with having their representatives named fur them in future. The Roman Catholics say of the Protestant Church, that it puts the Bible into the hands of the people, and tells them to examine for themselves, only they must take care to find what the clergy tell them to find. The Lords deliberate on this question ; but the decision is, thank Goo, in another quarter.— When the Commons are firm, the machine stands still till the Lords are made to move ; the $ ro t & can part with a part of their nuen'ier to assist the emotion of the Lords ; and then all will be well. Nil desperandum, we say. Englishmen, be film, you are invincible, and your enemies are not. It appeared from what fell from Earl ey, that the debate on the second reading of the Baum Bill will not terminate befuse Saturday. it be un derstood that their Lonlship. will sit on that day, and, as on the occas on of the Catholic Relief Bill, commence the proceedings at au early hour, so as to admit of their being concluded before 12o'clock at night. Lord Althurp's decline/ion in the Com mons, that the session is likely to last a consiJer able time, convoys a hint which we trust will not be thrown away. Lord Falmouth, who opened the debate last night, very properly refused to go farther back than 1688, for it was then that borourchmongering first obtained a field for its display. The borough mongers fought admirably for themselves and the people, when the crown was opposed to both ; but revolution gave the power to Parliament, and Par liament not being accountable to the people, made a private property of taxation. The rats only quit a sinking ship ; and we can give the noble crew notice, that even if this ship were to receive a broadside in the present struggle, she will take time to repair her tackle, add fresh sails, and then renew the action with the certainty of success. Nothing different from what they have done was expected from Lords Glengall and Coventry. We suppose their esample cannot at tract many folio wers.— Times. On the Commons' book there stands for this eve ning a Government Notice. which is quite as indi cative as Lord Ebrington's Notice for Monday, of the Ministerial opinion respecting the Reform Bill with the Lords, and the consequent near approach of the conclusion of the present session ; namely, Mr. S. Rice's notice to move the introduction, in the Committee on the Consolidated Fund Bill, of the ' Appropriation' clause ; which is a clause that is always viewed as the finishing of the session. HOUSE or LORDS.-10 the course of yester day morning the Lord Chancellor, addressing the Counsel in the case of Harris v. Kemble, said, " I don't know why we cannot go on with this appeal now." A reply was made by the Solicitor- General, *hilt was inaudible. LordCbancellor— " Your reply will not lest above a day, and on the following morning it can be disposed of." The Lord Chancellor, after a pause, said—" I wish to finish the appeals this week, and therefore let it be expressly understood that I shall not go beyond Saturday ; I shall not mind how late I s:t in the meanwhile ; and also that I will not hear any ap peals, whether Scotch or Irish, unless all the parties come fully prepared to proceed at once upon them."—The conversation here dropped. Though the bill may be defeated on its second reading, it will, and must ultimately pass. The King must be petitioned not to accept the resig nation of his Ministers; and there must be no delay in the petitioning, nor any disputes in the choice of words for that purpose. The petitions must be strong, and to the point ; and they must be got op immediately. Petitions to the Lords have been neglected, but petitions on this matter to the King will meet with a very different recep tion. It is but one effort more—one pull together —and the boroughmongers must sink under the accumulated voice of the country. There is not the smallest reason for de-pair. The Tories calculate upon the army ; but never were men more wrong in their reckoning, than when they say," it might be counted on with great security." Themselves appear to have an inkling of the fact, that " among the regimental of f icers" there would be " abundance" who from one cause or another would side with their opponents. As the Tories have chosen to begin with the calcu lation, it is but fair to follow it up. And first then, if there should be any attempt to divide the army, let the people recollect the intense interest which, independently of the ideas of honour and duty, which of themselves would make thousands of officers take the popular side, all that most in fluential body the captains and subalterns would feel in supporting the side which bold out the pros pect of escape from the aristocratical monopoly of promotion.-- Westminster Review. The county of Renfrew petition to the House of Peers measured 188 feet, and had nearly 20,000 names attached to it, being about 9,000 more than ever were forwarded with any petition from the county. In Greenock, there was about one-sixth more of signatures than to any other petition ever sent from the place. In Paisley, Lochwinu ch, and the other places in the county, the proportions were about the same. The additional number above that is to be accounted for from the number of places which have come forward on this cocoa. sion, which did not formerly publicly interfere its this manner. As it is, there is still a very great number of sincere reformers in the country who have been disappointed in getting their names at tached.—Glasgoso Chronicle.
