T. r iino , e then resolved Welt Into a Committee on the fl f of Parliament (England) Bill. at-. nrnvll, in the Chair. The Chairman thee read t• ”In , e.oiont intended to be made in elutes 18, when V-. n !ITN tome for the nonnew of knowing why so r --•r -Ater:ohm had ?skim place in the present clause.— as la he - o -, ..ruction Nlirdetere put upon the clause uit at ;t .1 , 3% s perfect mystery. Lo d A LTIIOR P stated, that the object of the clause Trfa row ete-lirdelers should only be deprived of voting for emeriti's when they poesessed the right of voting for towns. it we . romider. 11 that it would produce a public 'neon rool-ree. I ti•nee towns to which representative' , were given W. to nvemnserr the county constituercy, and by their ewes iefineece and enetroul the county constituency. tie. H. HUGHES said. that by the origin's! clause a freeholder in a town o" less than 101. a year woull have his rich , of voting for the county continued to him t but if it was 101. and operawle he lost hi- vote. A freehold"r might tosses. property in a berme h seflicient to quality him for • Niembey of Parliament for that borough. yet he would have ?light to vote for the county in respect of that property. Ile also eomplained of th, alteration respecting leaseholders aed eopyholderea, and of the obnoxious dirisien of counties. The present clause he considered to be made contrary to gond faith. Mr, W A TIPU ETON could not sgree that there bad been *l7 breach of faith, because the clause was drawn up in accordance with , he assurance of the noble lord and his friends. The admission of such a numerous class as the agricultural tenants at will, would go to overpower the bo rough constituency. Mr. F. LEWIS would propose that the quantity of land to he valued in the rural boroughs should be limited to 5091. and that whatever remained should belong to the freehold, rutting the occupier of it upon the same footing as any other separate occupier. to the amount of 501. Lord A LTIIORP said, if he understood ihn lion. diem. her's meaning it was, that if a man had property to the amount of 1,0001. a year, there was no reason shy that Iran should hare only one vote, whereas only 501. was the qualification. But the argument, if it meant any thing, applied with equal force to householders also, and if it was to he eonxidered bard that the holder of property to the enteunt of 1,0001. should have only one vote, it was equally hard that the occupier of a house of a greater value than 101. shruid he restricted to one. Ile did not see how soy distinction between the two cams could well be maintained. NO person .hould, therefore, vote for a county in rwpret of any freehold, however occupied by him, for which he might acquire a vote for a borough—nor ii respect of certain copyholds and leaseholds in the borough. If the clause were rejected altogether, and if the voters of the large towns were thrown upon the counties, he should then consider their interests decreased considerably. The CHAIRMAN then put the original amendment, and also one proposed by Mr. Hughes, fur the insertion of the additional word. " not exceeding fire acres," when .'r. wished to know if a freeholder had a free. hold in a town. would be be entitled to vote for the county ? lord A LTHOR l• said he certainly would if he were a freeliokier, nut if a cop) holder or leaseholder he would not. It wan not intend. d by the present elapse to deprive him of any right that he at prevent poem-ord. Mr. W YNN considered cepyhold a species of freehold. lie felt considerable objections to the present clause, as amended, feeling confident it would not answer. Sir O. I'LERK could not conceive on what principle coprholdere tont leaseholder. could he considered entitled to the feanchise, while those who had just the same species of po only in the Cour re were deorir'd of that right altogether. 11. thought it i , f nicely b tier to adhere to the original clause, than make the alteration p-oposed. Lord MILTON contended that the clause now under consideration would exclude the boroughs front having any influence in the counties, a grit ciple evidently erroreous. The bill, and the extent to which it had gone, had his hearty support, but the present cla'm was highly objec tionible. The clause preceeded on the most false poll tiosl view that ern d he taken.—(Cheers from the Oppo. altion ) It proceeded on a principle of reparation, inst e ad of a principle of union. They we-e told that the towns should not have too great an influence in coun else. tiors. He begged the House to look at the con duct of , tins philosophers who framed the clauses—philosophers .ho were not only found in the Cabieet, hut is this Howse (lasghter)—they conk almost erroneous views of the subject. They must surely have had an idea that the population of England consisted not of one community, but of two communities— one consisting of the population of towns, and the other of the population of cowries—forgetting, no doubt, that a man who lived in town one day was probably the next day in the coun - ry—a population who had concor. dant and not discordant interests. He admired the Reform Bill as a whole—he admired its object—be admired its prin. ciple—aud he admired the honesty and independence that tu.d been show!' by Noble and Right Hon. Gentlemen who hail introduced it-- but what he found fault with was, that Ministers had not based soul! of its details upon the ancient ins Buena. of the country.— (Chun from the Opposition.) The attempt t balance one interest against another was not a wise or a po'itical plan. and his wish was that every free holder—every member of tile ancient county court---should retain - his right to rote at county elections. It was most desirable that all the real property in the country should be represented as it had been formerly in whatever way it might be vested. It e.g.. not • wise thing to teach the people that their in,tituti.:ns were of yesterday— anti it was r. cessary that every frechoider should know that he derived his right from six hundred yea» ago.—(len.) He would tot vote for the disfranchisement of any freeholder in Eng. land, although he had, upon principle, voted for the die. trarehisenomt of ,he rotten boroughs. Lard ALTHORP could not but say that the speech of his noble friend (lend Milton) did appear to be • very en trsordinary one to proceed Item the lips of any man who ap. troved of the present Bill. (lieu) He bad stated that the framers of this bill had no right to consider that there existed separate interns a In the country. and that In that house there were a great body of persons who liked only separation. Now he (Lord A Ithorp) was of opinion, that the motion of his ruble frierd, %fillet it was quite ueconaritu. tional, had very little weight in that hor se. Upon the other pee •is hat h.a/ b ere referred to in that house. he hid eta (re v:toil, 11.41 oec.t.'on to Phew their want of application, either as beirg erreare CasCs, not at all likele to occur, or es different in principle. that he week, not take up the time or Or house in again *Boding to them. h r It. PEEL recentmended the t oble lord to adopt his proposal, and to ullner small freeholders, in the electoral dis t", cos to vete for the town, where his interest and connection were much mere intimate. and where his means of colunm. oration with their repreeentalre were much avow numerous. Mr. WA II BURTON proposed that the original clause should stand in its present state. omitting the words • atttr' rs in the fourth line, down to the word • as' in the founeetth lit e of the el use. The CH A I 113 IA N then put the question that these winds hr struck out ; And after a few words from Mr. Praed, Mr. F. Lewis, at ti Lord Altheep, Mr. Warburton's amendment was rut al d t egatived without a division. The IR NI A N then put the question, that the ante edment to the original 18th clause form part of the bill. To • question from Sir T. FR EE3IA NTLE, which was not audible in the gallery. Mr. CARTER said. that if a person purchased property in a borough of a nature that did not give him a vote for the borough. be would be entitled to vote for the county. The CHAIR)!

Mr. HUGH,- 8 moved that the words " or any ether person," be left out of the clause for assimilating tie cases et cop) holders end leneehaders with that 0' the trecholders in acting for towns. The hoc. member stated his determina tion to divide the House upon it. The House then divided, •hen the numberse were— For leasing out the weeds .. ... 1 Against it . 187 Majority against it ... The other parts of the clause 10, with a few verbal amend tau eta, were carried without a division.

Accounts from Breda say that the head-quarters of our army are Expected in that place on Friday. The Prince of Orange and his Staff will arrive there on that day ; the Prince will immediately proceed to the Hague. The streets through which his Royal Highness will pass are planted with green trees, and strewed with towers, &c. A triumphal arch is building, and every preparation made to give his Royal Highness a brilliant reception. Prince Fre derick will remain at Breda. Louvain was evacuated by our troop. on the 14th, at ten in the morning, and immediately occupied by the French troops. His Royal Highness the Prince of Orange had on the 15th his head-quarters at Thienen, and the 16th and 17th they were to be at St. Trond, the 18th and 19th at Hasselt, and on the 20th and 21st our army is to return into the Dutch territory. Marshal Gerayd's head-quarters were to be on the 15th at Geldenaken, the 16th and 17th at Thienen, the 18th and 19th at St. Trend, the 20th at Hasselt, and, as it is said, afterwards at Ante•err. A letter from the Prince of Orange to the King. dated Thienen, August 15, announces that the army continues to retreat, and is closely followed by the French army ; and that some of the French and Dutch troops having come together in the same cantonments, General Constant Rebecque had been sent to the French head-quarters at Vavre, where he had agreed upon measures for the route of both armies that would prevent this inconvenience for the future. TO THE KING. Head Quarters, St. Trend, Aug. It have the honour to infcrm your Slajesty that the inter view between me and 31-.rshal Gerard took place to-day. I flattered myself that I should be able to free this place from troops, and let It be considered as neutral, and thought to remain only with a personal escort to wait for the Marshal. I found it impossible to do this, because the Eisigian volun. leers came from all sides, and threvened to plunder the town. I informed the .Marshal of this, and advised him to orcupy the town today with French troops, promising thrt the troops of your 31sjeroy should preserve order in the town till thee were relieved by the French troops. Soon afterwards. a little before nine o'clock, the Marshal him. FI I:came with his staff and a small escort. lie assured me he had given all necessary orders arecrding to my de sert., and that rl e division of General Hulot was on the march to relieve your Majesty's troops. l found the mar. shal ready to comply with my wishes, and flatter myself that by this interview all difficulties are prevented that might have arisen by the vicinity of the two armies and their movements. I d d rot leave Tbie• en sill it was occupied by the diet. ion of Gen Hulot. I wished to whew the same politeness to the 31er4hal that he had done to me. He came to Thienen while that town was still my head quarters, and occupied by your 3lajesty's troops. On my leavirg the town the marshal had the politeness to accom pany me out of thew's. when we took leave of each other. The Commander in-Chief of the Army, WILLIAM, PRINCE of ORANGE. BRUSSELS PAPERS.

These have hitherto been disregarded. " Your Sovereign offered you the means of atoning for a temporary evil by a prompt return to your duty. Far from listening to his voice, you have given ear to the perfidious suggestions of ambitious men who make a sport of the fall of nations. These miserable men have endeavoured to make all reconciliation Impossible; they have invited you to deeds which must expose you to irremediable misfortunes and close against you every way to pardon they have ascribed to your King intentions which be never conceived. f Meanwhile a ran. gulaary and obstinate struggle has ensued ; dreadful mi.. fortunes have desolated your country t thousands of your brave countrymen have fallen victims of a fatal infatuation.

Already have those provinces of the Empire which you have endeavoured to unite in the insurrection returned to order and obedience the bands which were intended to spread disorder and deco. lotion are annihilated or driven Into a foreign country.— The troops sent to combat them will now strengthen the main army, which has crossed the Vistula, which you eon.

BAUSSEVI, Auo. 19.—The Prussian State Gazette of the 14th gives the following extracts from the Warsaw papers : WARSAW, Aso. 4.—The arrival of the corps of General Dembinski in Praga put the whole ca pital in motion. Prince Czardoryski, president of the government, went a mile out of the city to meet him. and addressed him as follows : " Let those who, seduced by the example of their corn , tnanders, forget the watch-word of Poland, • Victory or Death,' recollect it when they see you." An innumerable crowd of old men, women, and children, went to the barrier of Schmulow to re ceive their friends. . When they saw Dembinski every body cried, " Welcome to our brave men ; to the commanders of such heroes ; honour to the corps that has saved our honour." When the columns approached the entrenchments the music played military airs, and the popular song of " No, Poland is not lost." It is impossible to form an idea of the appearance of this corps ; the men and horses were worn out with fatigue. In twenty days they had marched 150 German (about 750 Eng lish) miles ; every day and every hour they had to fight. They were without provisions or ammuni tion, and were obliged to get every thing from the enemy. They brought with them a great many Lithuanian and Samogitian hones. Some thou sands of soldiers on horseback had led horses be sides. Some of the infantry were mounted. Three hundred principal citizens of Lithuania and Sarno gitia are in the corps, from whence representatives to the diet are to be chosen. The famous Major Puschetis of the number; also several students of Wales and some women. They had money enough, and were regularly paid with the prises taken from the enemy ; they had six cannon, two of which are of large calibre.

In consequent)* of the intervention of three great Powers, Poland will be recognised as a free and independent State : her inhabitants will thus assume a rank among the nations of Europe. This salutary intervention, which does honour in bomanity, was in reality the only means of fielding an sod to that fatal struggle. We are assured that the Poles have already received with the most lively gratitude the promise of the great Powers ; nevertheless they are determined not to suffer themselves to be lulled asleep.

From our own Correspondent. PARIS, Aue. 20. Sta,—The warlike meeting between Generals Sebastisni and Lamarque, which ended not in smoke, but without it, having given rise to many conjectures and remarks in the journals of Paris, the two witnesses in the affair thought fit yester day to send the following note for insertion in some of the papers: " 81111,—`Some of the journal% with intentions which we will not stop to examine here, have entertained the public with the meeting which took place between Generals Sebas tiani and Lamarque. We believe it our duty to declare, that these general officers, whose blood has flowed with glory upon the field of battle, have neither 'hewn less courage, nor less honour In this circumstance; and we, witnesses, render ourselves guarantees of that which we establish here. " V e are, Sir, lte. " J ACQUESIINOT, " TIIES. DE RUMIGNY." This note, which the conjectures of the journals called forth, does not, however, throw much light upon the business. I will, therefore, give you a few of the particulars of the affair, which has made a great stir here, from a source which is undoubted. The offence arose from General Lamarque having in the course of discussion designated M. Lebeau, as the Sebastiani of Belgium. Here he was called to order by the President,who observed to him that such an expression was an insult to M. Sebastiani. General Lamarque replied that, " If he wished to insult a colleague, the Tribune was not the place he would choose ; Mat he intended to personify a system, and not use any personality." The next day, when General Lamarque was proceeding to the Chamber, his carriage was stopped on the Pont de la Concorde, and M. de Rumigny opening the door himself, said, " General, M. Sehastiani feels himself offended by your discourse of yesterday : he demands the reason from you, and begs you to choose two seconds." " I wish nothing better," replied M. Lamarque, " but who are the seconds of M. Sebastiani ?" "M. Jacqueminot and myself,— you are honourable men. and I choose no others." He instantly got out of his carriage. M. Sebastiani was waiting at the end of the bridge, and after some little wrangling, in the midst of which General Lamarque complained that M. Sebastiani had not written a line to him the day before, instead of having a parley that day in the street, the whole party proceeded to the Champs Elyse*, where the three waited, whilst M. Rumigny proceeded to Paris to procure arms. General Lamarque, who is a skilful shot, generously proposed swords ; but his antagonist insisted on pistols. stating as a reason his arm having been broken. During the absence of M. Rumigny, the gentlemen amused themselves calmly, upon the campaign of the Prince of Orange, the Minister of Foreign Affairs having in his pocket a detail of the defeat of the Belgians. On the return of M. Rumigny, they proceeded to the Bois de Boulogne, the usual place of resort for the settlement of affairs of honour. The seconds wished to bring about a reconciliation, saying that they could have no animosity against each other, and that their divisions were only a triumph to their enemies. M. Rumigny proposed to General La marque, that as General Sebastiani felt himself of fended, would he mount the tribune and say that he did not intend to address any personality to him? Upon which the General replied with warmth, that he would sooner fire all the powder that was to Le found in Paris. " Will you then write a letter to the journals ?" "No more of it. Sir," and eagerly held out his hand for one of the pis tols, exclaiming at the same moment, " Let so make an end of it." General Jacqueminot then took the business in hand, and by dint of persua sion and working upon the General's feelings, the affair was arranged. General Lamarque agreed to write the proposed letter, upon condition of Gen. Sebastiani writing to him a frank and explanatory letter upon the words which he applied to him,say ing he was a party man,wbich appear to him much more offensive than the expression made use of, for M. Lebeau is a distinguished orator and a man of talent. This was agreed to, and the two letters were written at the same time, upon the ground. Ge neral Lamarque, however, not perfectly satisfied, said, on mounting his carriage, " Gentlemen, if the least cloud is raised upon all this business. I reserve to myself to regard the affair as not termi nated." The witnesses said they charged them selves to become guarantees. You may rely upon the above being a correct outline of the business. Since the affair of the duel has a little blown over, we have two other subjects, which are much occupying the public attention at Paris, and are the topics of conversation in the first circles. These are—the appearance of the ex-Dey of-Algiers at Paris, and the conspiracy which the Holy Alliance has just been forming against the independence of Belgium. It is said, in the first instance, that the occasion of the visit of the ex-Dey te Paris, is to conclude a treaty with the French Government. in order to be re-instated in the dignity of Dey of Algiers, and that the negociation is taking place under the protection of the English Cabinet. A letter from Leghorn, which I have seen, states that the ex-Day, during his sojourn in that city, kept tip an active correspondence with the Cosa of Africa, and that emissaries of Bedaub' Chiefs were lodged at a country home which the ex-Dey oesepisi Mar Leghorn ; that one of these emissaries, o principal chief of the Bedouins, was killed at th e bead of the troops which attacked the French troops, commanded by General Berthesene at the Atlas in the last expedition, a loss which has much afflicted the Day. It is also said that M. Casimir Perier, wishi ng to remain in power, has altered his mind respect ing the cession of Algiers, and that the ex-D e y has just sent one of his aide-de-camps express t o London to Lord Grey, in order to be seconded is his negotiations. On the affairs of Belgium, rumour is afloat, the trLth of which is confidently affirmed, that the French Cabinet had deceived the Conference of London, by secretly proposing the restoration of the House of Nassau in Belgium ; for (it is said) how can the astonishment of the Prince of Orange be otherwise explained, at the news that the French troops had arrived inßelgium, and thus his slow march to invest Brussels, which he could have done very easily,was at cnce arrested. But as the restoration would have caused a bane of indignation throughout France, the Francis Cabinet prevented the fall of the independence of Belgium by this blow. Various other singular re ports are in circulation, but the two I have just recounted excite the most attention.

They are between the devil end the deep sea—they know not whether to retreat or push forward—either seems equally perilous; and they will have some difficulty to extricate themselves. It is said that M. Casimir has turned a willing ear to the suggestions of the opposition, and intends to Claim for France Phi lippeville and Marrienbourg.
