THURSDAY, MAY 12. The next intelligence from Italy, we fear, will tell of' bloody sacrifices to successful tyranny. The other Powers in Europe should really remonstrate with his Holiness, if they wish to prevent fearful consequences. -Our Correspondent's letter from Paris will be found highly interesting, as depicting the state of political feeling in that capital. Our Readers cannot fail to have observed, on perusing the leading article of the Times yesterday, detailing facts given by us two or three days before, that the STAR still retains its acknow ledged claim to priority, in communicating foreign intelli gence. By the French Estafette we have received the Paris Papers, and from them we are enabled to communicate a despatch of General SKRZYNECKI, detailing, in his usual distinct and candid manner, the principal military tran sactions in which the Polish army has recently been en- gaged. It appears that, up to the 28th ultimo, no great' battle had taken place. The rumours which have been making their appearance in the German Journals, seem to have originated in a cannonading heard at Warsaw, on the morning of the 26th, which gave rise to an idea of a gene ral battle having occurred, from a pretended attack and retreat of the Generalissimo, feigned, to draw the Rus sians from their lines, but which failed ; and the 27th inst. passed without any real battle. This we learn from a cor respondent of the Journal des Debate. It will be seen that General SKRZYNECKI avows frankly the defeat of General SIERAUSKI ; and the War saw Journals add that the head-quarters of the army ap proximate Warsaw ; and that the inhabitants of the country are flying in crowds, on the left Bank of the Vistula. —The Poles have fortified all the rout from Kaluzyu to Praga ; and an invading army, according to the accounts from the spot, would require several weeks hard fighting, before it could reach the capital. General SKRZYNECKI, it is observed, is silent about the operation of General DWEit.• NICKI; but the insurrection of Lithuania is still making progress. All that has recently taken place between the Poles and Russians, appears to have been merely a war of posts ; and the Poles seem to be more afraid of the scourge of the cholera morbus, than:of the military prowess of the Russians; for it appears by the despatches of SYRZYNECKI, that en counters with the Russians communicate the disease, which becomes as fatal to one side es the other. The French pa per, Le Temps, views this intelligence as equally interesting to France and all Europe : it says, " this frightful plague(the cholera) will march towards the west,and we cannot flatter our selves that the rest of Europe will remain preserved. We may expect to see it soon ravage Germany, and considering the frequent communications between the two nations, it will not be possible to repulse it from our frontiers. The only consolation which we have is, that it appears to lose its ma lignity, in advancing towards the west, and in being farther from its source. Perhaps also the succours of art, which is in more perfection with us than with the Russians, and the barbarous people of Asia, may lessen still more the force of this formidable evil." What a heart must the Sovereign have, who sends an army so afflicted to spread its contagion i n distant coun.' tries! From Poland it seems likely to be spread through Europe,— and yet civilized Governments look on without remonstrance! Are we in England, for example, to be thus visited, to indulge the passions of the Autocrat of the Russian ? The returns to last night give a total increase of reformers of 95, subducted from the anti-reforming party, and giving a majority of 190, on the supposition that the last House of Commons was equally divided. We had speculated on England and Wales giving 104, but it now appears that they have returned at least 110, while Ireland and Scotland will send at least 25 more; hence the majority may be from 250 to 270 ! The anti-reform party will, in truth, not ex ceed 200 members, leaving 468 reformers in the next Par liament. How certain, therefore, is the success of the Bill ! and how surprising and delighting is so glorious a result of public virtue and intelligence! We have to-day to announce another important victory. It has been expected for some days; but last night Mr.TTR- ItELL resigned, after giving his clerical and other friends six days to muster their strength. This is one of the popular victories of the present contest ; and never did Candidate open a poll with greater confidence of success, than Colonel Tv KRELL, backed, as he was, by a political influence, which has governed ESSEX for several generations. The poll in Oxfordshire proVos the state of feeling in that • 4"' .. _..~, 7. mil! ~--_-~ IM important county, influenced as it must be by the wealthy close corporation of its University. Lord NORREYS has retired. He kept the poll open too long, with all the tenacity of a young man, backed by the prejudices of old ones. The city of Oxford did as much credit to its intelligence as the county ; by which, it would appear, that both City and County profit by the pre sence of the University ; but without suffering the deterioration of self-interest which operates in the Close Cor porations of their instructors. In like manner, in Cambridge shire the people, uninfluenced by the Corporate friends of the University, and the narrowing spiritof the self-electing Caput, displayed as much independence as any county in the King dom. We carnet too often repeat, that one of the first acts of the New Parliament should be, to throw all corporate Elections open, to the parties subject to them. In Doisetshire the Election wears all the usual symp toms of defeat to Mr. BANKES. There is a report that Mr. PORTMAN does not cordially co-operate with Mr. CALCRAPT ; but the state of the poll leaves the friends of the latter little to regret. In Devonshire, Lord EBRINGTON and Lord JoHN R ussELL were elected on Tuesday without opposition ; Sir 'Nouns ACLAND, yielding to the unanimous sense of tb;,t great county. In Carnarvonshire, Sir C. PAGET, a popular new candi date, heads the poll against Mr. GORE, the old member. Sir J. GRAHAM and Mr. BLAMIRE have been returned for Cumberland ; and Messrs. PHILLIPS and PAGET for Leicestershire, all Reformers, in opposition to the Lonsdale and Rutland interests. In Northamptonshire, Lords A LT110111) and MILTON continue to increase their majority. Shropshire presented by the last advices a less promising aspect ; and the two reformers were woefully behind Sir R. HILL and Mr. PELHAM; the two old members, both of whom voted against the bill. We have hitherto entertained a higher opinion of the proud Salopians. In Worcestershire, the BEAUCHAMPS keep open the poll, and all that power and money can effect, will be attempted ; but here, also, there appears to a want of concert between the reforming candidates, and some fault in the distribution of the suffrages by the freeholders. The Cheshire Poll begins to-morrow—BatonAv a and WILBRAHAM against CIIOLMONDELEY. We congratu late the country on the accounts from Cornwall, just received. The following selections are all worth extracting from the Brussels papers, received this day : BausszLe, May B.—The Amsterdam Ilandeleblad says, there is a report of a new protocol, by which it is intimated to the Belgian go vernment, that if it does no: accept within a fortnight the preceding protocols. the powers will leave Belgium to its fate. We learn from Ghent that M. Voortman still suffers severely from his wounds; it is feared he will be obliged to undergo an opera tion in consequence of the wound which he received from a bayonet. which is very large. An inventory is now drawing up of the damage done to M. Voortman's manufactory and his dwelling house ; and it is estimated at 300,000 florins. The Belgic ship Neptune, Captain Wil. lema, arrived on the 2tl inst at Ostend from London, with 22 chests, containing 440 muskets ; and on the sth arrived an nglish ship, the Lord Hawkeabury, Capt. Blair, with 158 chests, containing 3100 mus kets from London. All is perfectly quiet at Ostend and in the environs. The Dutch while raising new works about 81uis remain quiet. There proves to be great distress on that side from the numerous contributions that have been levied. The Journal of Breda, of May 1, says that 51. de Pontecoulant, who was arrested at Berlin, on his way to Poland, has been given up by the Prussian authorities, on the frontiers of Russia, on the 9th of May. The object of the journey of Saxe Cabin.; to Paris, (says an Antwerp i paper) is now known. He desires to make himself certain respecting the intentions of Louis Philip, and the heart of the Prin. cess. It is even affirmed that to smooth all difficulties be would' embrace the Catholic religion. One of our Deputies is reported to have said to him, parodying the words of Henry IV "Belyittos is well worth a mass." The remark is said to have been successful, and to have induced the Prince to decide. We have these details from a very authentic source, but we doubt whether the English plan will succeed. MAY 10.—The Regent has issued a Decree, convoking the National Congress for the 18th of May, at noon. Yesterday, there was great agitation in the city. Numerous groups were formed in the Grande Place the Place Royale, and about the residence of the Regent. The whole of the civic guard was under arms, and numerous detachments of cavalry patrokd the streets all night. We are not sufficiently certain of the causes of this agitation, of which every body speaks, ac cording to his passions, to tell our re aders to what it tends. The orangists, says the independent, report that M. Tielmans, at the head of the National Association, is going this evening to proclaim the Republic. The only object of this absurd report, is to hinder the election of that honoumble citizen, we advise the Electors not to give any credit to this miserable falsehood, and to be on their guard against mane:oven, the object of which is to endanger the success of our glorious Revolution." Baron d'Hoogvorst, Commander-In-chief of the National Guards, has addressed a proclamation to the citizens, in which he says, strangers, enemies to our institutions and to our tranquillity, endeavour to excite popular commotion, but the Civic Guard is on the watch ; faithful to the country and to its oaths, it is resolved to preserve, by all means, the present order of things. The Courier of Brussels, says, that the crisis in which the annoy finds itself of a sudden, and which is wholly fictitious, is to be ascribed to a disappointment both of the Orangeists, and of the par tisans of France. The Congress," it says, "will meet on the pith : let the country wait patiently. By that time all will be settled in the diplomatic world : if' the Prince of Saxe Cobourg accepts the Crown of Belgium, with ell the conditions laid down in our Constitution, we shall not have war; if he refuses we shall have war." MIDNIGHT.—An Express has just brought word that a similar movement has taken place at Malines. All is quiet; again at Brussels; several drunken persons have been arrested who cried "Vive le Prince d'Orange !" or, " Vive la Repub lique 17,—Brossels Papers, May 11. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

We have received the following letter from Antwerp of the 10th inst :—" There is a degree of agitation and un easiness prevailing at Brussels and Ghent, which fore bodes no good, and tends to show the increasing strength of the most turbulent party, and decreasing the po pularity of our rulers. How it will end, GOD only knows. We are here tolerably quiet, but an insubordination of the military prevails. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. YARMOUTH, MAY 10.— Arrived the Pratt Maria, Bale, master, with hides and hark, from Hamburgh; and the Hover, Boum, from Hamburgh to Hull, with a general cargo. Sailed for Labrador, the Venus, Simmons, with a general cargo. The Royal Entertainment Committee having met on Tuesday, for the purpose of hearing the announcement of the KING'S determination as to whether his MAJESTY would be pleased to receive the Civic Deputation who were appointed to invite his MAJESTY to dine at Guildhall on the 20th instant, it was officially communicated by the Chair man that the state of his MAJESTY'S health was so uncer tain, that he feared, if he accepted the invitation, be might not be able; when the day arrived, to fulfil his engagement, and therefore it was with the deepest regret he for the pre sent declined accepting it. His MAJESTY begged it dis tincdy to be unddrstood that nothing whatever but the state of his health, and that alone, which might render hi m u nable to endure the fatigue, indu ced him to postpone accepting, for the present,the invitation of the loyal citizens of London. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE EICLUSIFE. FOR THE STAR. PARIS, MAT a. Sts—The spirit of opposition manifests itself here upon every octa gon ; and perhaps never in a stronger degree than at present. Really to govern the French. and to keep them in good humour. it would be necessary to take a hint from the Irishman, who, when he debited to delve his pig home, endeavouret; to pat him forward in a contrary dhicdou. This is positively the character of the French; for they, in many instances, sacrifice their pride, and their inclinations, for the sake of oppositition. Most, if not all, of the heroes of July who were at the Meeting, re. main staunch to their protest ; and have decorated themselves with the tinhorn], in despite 0; the ordineuce to the contrary. We are still in the dark as to the intentions of Goverumene ; but ;t is hinted that the Ring ..oes not intent• to interfcre,goe take any further interest in the affair. It is not, however, thought the. the phi: of M. Casimir Perrier will quietly submit to be set at defiance; a..tl it is reported that M. Persil, the Attorney. General, rube his hands for joy, at the prospect of having 1528 new subjects for prosccutiou. At all events, these bickering', joined with the spirit now abroad, do not augur well for the stability of the present system here. Yesterday evening we were again in a ferment in many parts of this city. You will recollect tbs. in a lonmr lettes, I informed you that on the sth May—the anniversary of the cl• - ath of Napoleon—the base of the column Vendome was ornamented v. ith bouquets and wreaths of flowers. These bad daily such an astonishing accumulation, that actually the base of the column, and the space wi. bin the rails, were literally covered with flowers. To these were added, large bests or the late Emperor, prints of the Duke of Re'chstatit, with numerous placards, bearing various devices and inscriptions. Tbis display attracted many hundreds of persons throughout the day. I passed the spot about II o'clock et nig) t, 'eh a numbers were still re- 1 maining, attracted by curiosity, or perhaps a bAter feeling. Soon after, a group arrived, who danced round the column. singing the " Car. nurywtle," which always awakens such frightful recollections, from its connection with the former revolution. The Guards dispersed the whole of the persons collected et midnight; and this morning by six o'clock, when I proceeded to survey the scene, the whole of the orns. meats and souvenirs hail disappeared ; and in their place a piquet of troops of the line was stationed, who prevented any approach to the column ; while a detachment of the National Guards paraded about the Place Vendome, and the adjacent street', to disperse the groups which were collecting. About ten o'clock yesterday, on the space in front of the Bourse, where there is always a great collection of people, I was witness to another party performing th- same donee, dinging the death-notes, and shouting " Vive la Republique." Here the National Guards arrested seven of the most prominent, amidst the shouts of many persons.— Those who were arrested, as well as those who joined in the songs, were, In appearance, of the better class of citizens. The troops round the column Vendome appearesl to give great offence this morning. I heard several express their surprise, whether the Government thought they would eat it ; adding, that it was scandalous to insult the memory of the greatest man France ever saw s by sweeping away the tributes of affection which had been rendered to him. The news from Poland still continues to be good. The last Polish Journals positively announce the defeat of the corps of General Rudiger, rho was, with his mat-Major, made prisoner by the brave General Drernicki. lie had, besides, seized twenty-nine chariots, charged with valuable effects, which the Russians had brought with them.— The news from Lithuania is daily more cheering. Prince Gabriel Oginski, ancient Colonel of the Guard of Honour of Lithuania in 1612, is at the head of well organised troops ; he cuts off the provl. dons from the Imperial Guard. The Diet of Poland has cue voktd an extraordinary meeting of the Deputies of Lithuania, Podolia, Vulhy ohs, &c. to deliberate ere the affairs of the whole of Ancient Poland. This appeal is a reply IS tie Ukase of Nichoha, of the 3d of April. as the declaring the throw vacant was that which the Poles made to the proclamations of Diebitsell. It is buid that the Rursian prisoners are so contented in Poland, that they give up all thoughts of raurniug to Russia, where they had but e sous a .lay, whilst in Poland they receive right. They cultivate the land, and will obtain, at a later period, the rights of citizens. Thin number is stated to amount alretlly to 2000 men. An exemplary and frightful sf.ectucle to the Roman ',Mots, h about to take place in the paean of young Lap', who has bees convicted of having been one of the chiefs of the movement, whidi took place at Rome. It is stated that the cardinals and foreign diplomatists have pleaded for, and obtained a delay; but assurance is at the same time given. that the Holy Farber is implacable; and that it will be a miracle if Lepi, and three of his oak pinions are saved from death. To the appeal which is mob against the edict, which ordains the closing of the Unitas skies, an answer has been given, that it is much better for the Roman Church to have ignorant good Christiana than learned bad subjects. Thus, the young men are placed under the tuition of the Jesuits, if they would continue their studies, as the Roam College will be the only one open. I inclose the Journals of the day, and remain, Yours, truly, J. L. POLAND. ANOTHER OFFICIAL BULLETIN. WARSAW, April 27. —The Generalissimo has addressed the following official bulletin to the national government: At the Camp of Jocksbow, April 22. Our victories having forced the enemy to rcmcvc from the Vistula, the corps of the arrm• which dtfended the passage of that river, had sta dotted itself aro) the right bank.

He advaueed towards Lublin, shoe site enemy, see. ing the importance of that point, bad forces much superior to thou unt:et his command ; and although he bad knowledge of this state of things, he resolved to give battle with the troops which were not in. tended for that operation. On the 16th of April, Colonel Lagowski, who formed the adenine* guard of Genera! bierawskl, encountered the enemy near Beigye. with superior forces and artillery. That officer, being convinced of the su. periority of the enemy, fell bask upon the village of Woonowo, where, the day after, he resolved to accept the combat, which lasted some hours, and which had no other result than the loss of 200 or 900 men on both sides. In this rencontre bur artillery, which showed itself so perior, distinguished itself as usual. Our infantry, which had very few 2re-anns, did more than was permitted to hope from it.

The adores j abuts are the members Glib, Town Conned—a grave and sapient body—who are presumed by the lodating Ltu s, to be the only portion of the inhabitants of Edin who have %efficient discretion and integrity to be intrusted wilt race of choosing a person to represent the eapi;al of Scotian in the 'et* I halve wisdom" of the empire.

The sevent een sages of the Town Council have, io the eventful crisis, proved themselves fa ithful to their prindples, and trur to their established reputatien.
