DUTCH PAPERS.-RECEIVED THIS DAY. PETERBBUROH, JULY B.—ln order to remove the apprehensions that may have been conceived, of the suppression of the fair at Nischney Novo ,orod for this year, the Minister of the Interior, Count Zakrewsky, has announced that the fair will I,e held as usual, and that the Emperor has been !Leased to send his aid de camp, General Golenist :heff, Nischney Novogorod, to take all necessary measures that the business of the fair may not be impeded,' as well as to satisfy the merchants, to prevent their being subjected to any vexatious pro ceedings, and to afford the most prompt assistance, in case the cholcra should manifest itself during the fair. A supplement to the Peterzburgh Gazette contains a proclamation, issued by the Governor- General of the capital, in which be observes that when the cholera broke out in Moscow in Septem ber last, His Majesty went to that city, to encour age the inhabitants to take the necessary measures :o arrest the progress of the disorder; and, with the aid of the Divine protection, these measures had been successful. Now that the disorder has reached St. Petersburgh, His Majesty ordered the r me measures to be adopted which had proved se t:sefll in Moscow. He visited the city in person, to contribute by his presence to the attainment of this desirable object, and expecting that the efforts of the Government would be seconded by the in i,abitants, as they bad been at Moscow. But the expectations of the benevolent monarch have been disappointed, to the great sorrow of His' Majesty, and of all well disposed persons. Son.e designing individuals persuaded the com :::on people, that the police and the physi cians had adopted useless and vexatious mea sarei, Credulous and inconsiderate persons believed these fables, and neglecting their own affairs, began to collect in groups in the streets, to' talk about the pretended oppression of the people. In their infatuation they resolved to set the patients at liberty, who, as they perceived, were arbitrarily confined in the he ,pitals, broke into two temporary lazarettos, dispersed the patients, and committed such excesses that some lives were lost. The Emperor being informed of these distress ing occurrences, ordered the Governor to recom mend to the inhabitants of this capital, the example of those of Moscow, who, confiding in the salu tary measures of the Government, had, very faith fully attending to the instructions given them, ful filled the benevolent intentions of his Majesty, and protected themselves from the threatening danger. The same measures are adopted here as at Mos cow ; nobody is brought by compulsion to the hos pitals ; but every one who has the means, is at li he:ty to have medical advice at his own house. His Majesty hopes that his paternal voice will penetrate the hearts of his faithful subjects. If, contrary to all expectation, these exhortations Should prove unavailing, the most efficacious mea eures will be employed to prevent unlawful assem blages ; and the authors of such disorders, as well as the propagators of foolish and lying reports, will be given up to the authorities, and punished with all the rigour of the laws. On the 6th some private persons, chiefly of the lower class, thought fit to stop in the streets to search, and even to ill treat several persons, who were using smelling bottles filled with vinegar or Cblor powder, under the pretext of thus having in the bottle or paper poison, with which they poisoned provisions. On a strict examination, all these suspicions were found to be wholly without foundation. None of the persons arrested thought of poisoning any thing, or had any poison about them—all of them were stopped, and ill treated without any reason whatever. But the only pro tection against Cholera, is to carry about the per son vinegar and chlor, and to smell these sub stances. Whoever ventures to stop, search, or arrest any person, shall be punished, as the preserva tion of order and tranquillity is the business of the competent authorities. The governor announces that cholera patients may, at their own wish, be attended at their own houses; if any one de sires to have a patient adtaitted into the nearest hospital fitted up for the purpose, application is to be made for the purpose. The police will no more bring the patients to the hospitals to receive them there, but will merely receive from the house owners the reports of the persons attacked in those houses, sent to the hospitals, and dead. It is necessary to remind the inhabitants, that the sick, in private houses, if not separated from the healthy, may be very dangerous on account of the contagious nature of the disorder; and that if a t!ead body is kept longer than a day in a house, all the inmates are liable to infection. After the publication of the measures taken to preserve public tranquillity, it is to be presumed that nobody will expose himself to the suspicion of instigating or taking part in ill-intentioned as semblages. If any such should collect, all well disposed persons should avoid joining them, that in the execution of the measures taken by the go.l vernment the innocent may not suffer with the guilty. If the patrols see between ten o'clock at night and five in the morning as many as five persons standing together, all of them are to be imme diately arrested as disturbers of the public tran quillity. JULY 9.—The Governor announces that on the 7th his Majesty had visited several quarters of the city, and observed with pleasure that there were no unlawful assemblages as in the preceding days. He witnesses in the inhabitants the criminality of stopping individuals, under the frivolous pretext of their carrying poison about them ; were such the fact, it is for the Government to investigate and punish it. The insults offered to medical men on the pretext that they kill the patients sent to the hospitals, are mere proofs of great folly, ignorance, and ingratitude. His Majesty has commanded the Governor to announce to the inhabitants, that such tumults will not be tolerated under any pretext ; that whoever refuges to obey the police, or other constituted authorities, or to insult the physicians, or any other persons, shall be pu nished with the utmost rigour of the laws. Cholera.—The number of persons attacked with the cholera at St. Petersburgh since the first ma nifestation of the disorder to the 7th, in the even ing, was 1230—the deaths 558. The number of persons recovered is very small, there being on the Bth in the morning 665 sick remaining.—St. Pe tersburg Papers, July 9. CHOLERA AND RIOTS AT PETERSBURGH..-- PETERSBURG H, JULY 6.—The cholera morbus is attended with unprecedented virulence and fatality. Between the 30th June and the 6th of July there have been 596 cases, only five cures, but 279 deaths l There are 315 cases pending, of which but a small proportion are expected to recover. The alarm and consternation prevailing cannot be described. In consequence of this dreadful mortality, the lower orders of the people have taken it into their heads that the sufferers have been poisoned, or buried alive, as none of those carried to the hospitals had re turned. Riots have broken out in different parts, which have only been suppressed by the appearance of the Emperor, who was obliged to leave his se clusion at Peterhof, and frequently exhibit himself in the streets. Dr. Seyman, a German physician to one of the hospitals, has been murdered by the populace, and his body dragged about the streets. Several other individuals lost their lives. The mob took possession of the principal Hospitals, broke the windows, and threw the furniture into the streets. They have also totally destroyed two of the temporary Hospitals which had been erected. The military at last were obliged to interfere. At this period, the disease is rapidly increasing in all parts of the city to a most frightful extent. The Eng lish families residing at Petersburgh are leaving the place as fast as possible, and abandoning their pro perty. According to other letters from St. Peters burgh, the cholera was making frightful ravages in that city, which had been evacuated by the greater part of the British merchants and principal inhabitants. On the sth July the number of cases had been 485, out of wbich number there had been 229 deaths. Almost the whole of those attacked were persons of the lowest class, who paid no atten tion to themselves, as the disease preys upon filth. A serious riot had taken place at St. Peters burg ; the population had been considerably alarmed at the rapid and frequent burials, and an idle and mischievous report having been circulated and believed, that the foreign surgeons were killing the patients and interring them while yet alive, the mob tore down the principal hospital, destroyed the medicines, killed Mr. Seaman, a respectable surgeon and with a degree of ferocity suitable to their brutal ignorance, dragged his murdered body through the public streets, and after assassinating eight individuals, retired breathing vengeance against the persons whose object was to save the lives of those attacked with the disease. During these excesses, the Emperor found it necessary to allay the storm, to return from Peterhoff to St. Peters burgh, where he expostulated with the mob, im ploring them to desist from their excesses, and devoutly imploring Providence to abate the cala mity. The private letters say, to prevent further excesses, the Emperor will find it necessary to make his appearance daily in his capital. Beaux, July 15.—After four months inter ruption, the Russian mail from Wilna has again arrived at Tilsit, by way of Georgenburg, where it seems that the whole road is covered by the Rus sian troops, which are said to be continually in creasing in numbers in Lithuania. Posen', July 11.—We learn that a division of the army under General Tolstoi, after it had passed the Niemen, occupied Augustowa. With the addition of the reserves, the corps in Lithua nia and Samogitia, are said to annest to 90,000 men. - - POSZIT, JuLT 12. Besides the womb al. ready communicated, we learn that General Tolstoi has entirely broken up the corps of Generals Gielgud and Chlapowski, and taken from them 17 cannon.

ARCHANGEL, J LY 1.--The disorder is abating, and we hope soon to be wholly delivered from it.

Oxa o'CLot.ir THIS Day.—Barometer, 30-00. Ther mometer, 71. Wind E. b}• N. %Vca:her, fair and cloudy. This day despatches were received at the Fo reign Office, from Paris, Brussels, and the Hague. The Continental news of this day is of si x u- LA R IMPORTANCE and PORTENT. We have the Speeches of the King of France, the King of Bel gium; the Protest of the King of Holland; the new campaign of PASKEWITSCII ; and the occu pation of Lisbon by the French. The speech of Louis PIIILIPPE is very self satisfactory. What of good is not declared to exist, is speedily promised. The only scintilla tion of spirit which it displays, is to disconcert and punish the Carlists and Republicans, whose efforts, he says, are united against the Govern ment, with different ends in view. He speaks of the criminal hopes of the former, and of the chimera of the latter. Order, he says, will be pro tected—liberty guaranteed—and every factious at tempt repressed. To relieve the public burthens he desires a general disarming, and says that Europe also feels its necessity. He speaks of treaties with the United States, Mexico, and Hayti ; and announces further means to suppress the Slave Trade. He then boasts that the Austrian troops have evacuated the Roman States, and treats the late efforts of Italian patriotism as a disturbance of tranquillity. In speaking of Belgium, he states that fortresses are to be destroyed, a fact that is new to the world. In alluding to Portugal, he says that he has just received, advices that Me tri-coloured flag flies on Me walls of Lisbon.• The Polish war he calls a sanguinary and inveterate struggle, and speaks of interfering, by negociation, to stop the propagation of cholera, as well as to secure the nationality of Poland. He then compliments himself on the ad miration which Europe bestows on his government. and announces perseverance in the same system. The speech of the King of BELGIUM consists chiefly of congratulations on the completion of the arrangements, with expressions of affection on hie part for a people who had received him so unequi vocally, and with earnest hopes that the violent crisis of the revolution will terminate in frank and sincere union. It was altogether a gratifying cere mony, and the King, deputies, and people seemed to be in love with one another. He told the deputies of ANTWERP that he hoped soon to restore that city to the importance of Hamburgh, and those of LIMBURG and LUXEMBURI.II, that he expected by negociation to unite those provinces under his government. The Chamber, as it first act, decreed that SURLET le CIIGKILR, the late president, had deserved well of his country ; that a medal should be struck to his honour ; and 10,000 florins settled on him as a pension for life. In regard to HOLLAND, the Staates Courant gives place to a letter of the Seven Ministers of the Conference at London, to the Dutch Foreign Minister, announcing that they have sent one of their number, Baron WESSENBERG, to communi cate the 18 articles to the Kura in person. But it is then officially announced that his MAJESTY has refused to accept them ; and insertion is then given to a State Protest against each article. In a preceding column we have inserted this paper, which is important, because it threatens to involve the new King I.EovoLD in an im mediate war ; and there is no doubt perfect understanding, between Prussia,. Russia, and perhaps Austria, exists with the King of Holland. The citadel of Antwerp will be the first bone of contention. From POLAR D we have new views opening upon DO. PASKEWITSCII was of course obliged to sig nalize his new command by some movement; and having marched his army down the Vistula, to the point were it runs into the Prussian territory, he has there passed part or the whole of it, with a design to carry the war to the left of the Vistula, though by so doing he abandons all intercourse with Russia, and all hopes of reinforcements.— This took place between the 11th and 13th, and without opposition from the Poles. We regard it as a desperate move, and perhaps the last which the Russians will be able to make in this war. By the advance of the Poles in the • There are two different translations in the morn ing papers, in reg ard to the passage th e French Speech. One o f them states the French lag was flying on the walls of Lisbon; another ander the walls. We have seen the French printed speech, i n which it stands (sous) under the walls of Lisbon. direction of the Russian head-quarters, we may expect to hear of ti battle between them and the whole of the Russian army which have not crossed; and this attack, if successful, will lead to the cap ture of those who have crossed, unless they retreat into Prussia. No fear need be entertained for Warsaw itself, for its position is elevated, and it is fortified to an extent, which 100,000 men, mas ters of the country, could not besiege. At the same time the Polish Commander is at Modlin, the strongest fortress in Europe, situated as an impregnable right flank, at the angle of the Narew and Vistula, and perfectly commanding the approaches to Warsaw, on both sides of the Vis tula, from the corner in which the Russian Gene ral has thrown himself, and which, though well suited for defence, is little adapted to suc cessful offence. The Prussian Gazette speaks of this passage as a success, disregarding the cholera thus planted in Poznan ; but it deceives by confounding a passage where it has taken place with a passage above, and near Warsaw, for which Dteerrc it so long contended. There is no doubt too that all the means of passage were supplied from Thorn, which is not ten miles from the spot. Cit a.tz sowsx I commands the Poles in advance on the right side, and the last accounts left him making captures close to the Russian positions. They left SK RYZN ECK' at Modlin!; but he seems to have been perfectly aware of the design to cross, and purposely to have made no opposition, which would have been so easy. It is a trap ! On the other side Ru DIG ER, abandoning Lublin, is said to have marched on Seidlec ; but cholera and famine are every where thining the ranks of the Russians, and of their utter defeat we enter tain no doubt. We wish we could infer more from the paragraph in the French King's Speech, than that it is a clap-trap preparatory to the cele bration of the " three" days. Our accounts from the Cornish Ports show that the French had landed at Lisbon, and that there had been some fighting. But the French King's speech proves that they have been vic torious ; and we may hope that, if so, they will not, like the British troops, again abandon Por tugal to the bloody mercies of the tyrant who has too long disgraced a modern throne. In addition to the affliction of cholera at Pe teraburgh, which instead of being, as falsely re presented, very mild, is peculiarly malignant, that city has suffered from insurrections of its ignorant population. We might imagine, if we estimated the entire capacity of the human heart, that the Autocrat had other cares than that of organizing armies to murder the Poles, and sustain unprin cipled intrusions into that country. In the mean time his Southern Provinces are also ravaged by the plague—itself now less calamitous than cho lera ; for plague is a disease of warm weather and extinguished in one winter ; but cholera is equally fatal in all seasons, and alike unmitigated in ex treme cold or heat. It is therefore the most fatal scourge that ever fell on the human race. ROYAL EXCHANGE, ONE O'CLOCK. All the news has not had much effect on the funds. Consols, which left off on Saturday at 82 i for the account, opened at the same price, and are at present 82j 83, with little doing. Accounts from Amsterdam state that the King of Holland is busy in reviewing his army. A grand review is to take place in the environs of the camp at Ryen ; after which he will review the troops cantoned at Eendhoven, and inspect the fortifications at Bois le Doc, Grave, and Ny mogen. They write from Warsaw, that the Russian thagoons which were made prisoners by the Po lish Chasseurs of Grothusch, have arrived at War saw. The details of their capture are interesting. The brave Cbasseurs went on board two barges, took off their cloaths, and daring the night swam over a branch of the Vistula, took the Russians by surprise. The Commandant of the Dragoons, Count Major Toll, nephew of the General, was killed. The letters from Constantinople of July 8, state that all was in conjecture there in regard to the destination of the Grand Sultan, who embarked on the 3d on board one of the frigates of the squa dron, and sailed for the Dardanelles. On board the frigate was embarked an immense sum of mo ney and diamonds; also a machine for coining money ; the Sultan is accompanied by two of his sons, several of his women, and 80 young men of the first families. An order of the day has been issued by General Berthezene, dated Algiers, July 7, stating that persons of bad intentions had caused to be reported most unfavourable and alarming accounts in regard to the Expedition. Accordingly, he makes known the following details of the loss sustained : wounded, 196; killed, 55; missing, 8. Forty tribes attacked the five thousand men which com posed the Expedition, to the number of 12,000 men. In the combat of July 2, in the Plain of 'Decors, they lost 300 men, of which 45 were killed ; their total loss were several thousands. TWO O'CLOCK. Consols, which were steady the whole of the morning at 821 to 83 for the Account, have, within a short period taken a start, and have been done at 831 for the Account : at present they are 831 to 1. Letters from Warsaw, of the 10th of July, announce, that the Polish army, amounting to 50,000 men, with 150 cannon, will encounter the Russian army, concentrated and consisting of 85,000 men, with 300 cannon; the Head Quar ters were still, on the 10th, at, Warsaw, but would quit the next day.

On Saturday, late in the day, Mr. Horne applied to the court for farther time, namely, until Tuesday (to-morrow). On that occasion the Lord Chancellor intimated, that the court would not suffer itself to be trifled with; and if it was suprssed, by thus putting off the case from day to day, the object of Mr. Wellesley would be obtained. the patties deceived them selves. If the parties were not poured by Tuesday, his suspicions would be still farther a:renuthencd, and Mr. Wellesley must stand committed to the Flea Prison. Mr. W. is at present in the custody of the Serjeant.at-Arms itt his own house. When the fact that the case would not heard this day was made known much disappointment was manifested.

WINDSOR, SUNDAY, JULY 24.—Yesterday morning the King presented the Ist regiment of Life Guards with a splendid pair of silver kettle drums; they were in every respect similar to those presented by his Majesty to the 2d regiment on the Gth of May last. The ceremony of pre. sentation, which was also similar to the last, took place in the Little Park, which with the New Terrace, was crowded with spectators of the first rank and respectability. A guard of honour formed of a troop of the Royal Horse Guards Blue, and of the Ist Regiment of Life Guards, escorted his Majesty to the ground.

LONDON UNIVERSITY.--A meeting of tho proprietors of this constitution took place on Saturday at two o'clock, to receive the report of the committee appointed to consider of the best means to restore the prosperity of the institution ; Mr. John Wood, M. P. in the chair. Tice Duke of Somerset, the Attorney-General, Mr. Warburton. M. P. Mr. Wilke, 111. P. Mr. John Marshall, M. P. Mr. Struts, M.P. and several other gentlemen were present, b.:: the proprietors were not numerous. The report was rend : its principal features were a recommendation that measure. should be taken to procure the retirement of Professor Patteson from the University, for which no ground was voted, except that such a measure was considered essential to the welfare of the institution, and that the chief management of the University should be vested in a committee of five members of the council, chosen from among that body. The report was, after a desultory discussion, received and referred to the council. A motion was made that Pierfessor Pattesmi should then be heard, but after a long and desultory discus. sion, it was decided that he should not then be heard, became the matter must again come before the body of the proprietors should the council decide on dismissing him, and that then would be the time for bearing him. Thanks were given to the committee and the chairman, and the meeting broke' rip. ERRATUM.— In our leading article of Saturday, for " 1829," read " 18A," the Spring after the panic, in allusion to the late extraordinary Rule of Court. The interior of Westminster Abbey now resents a most curious appeTince—that of an absolute ruin. Seats for 6000 person; will be erected, an arrangement involtv rep a consumption of at least seven hundred loads of timber. The monuments are all cased, to protect them from jury, which, we should think, must be an affair of some difficulty. Their Majesties will be crowned upon a platform, mimed twelve feet, and immediately in the centre between the transepts. A covered way will he erected from the House of Lords to Poet's Comer, for the accommodation of the Peeresses, who will assemble there, and • similar platform is to be put up from the north doer, through St. Margaret's Church-yard, to the iron railing, where the carriages will set down. BUCKINGHAM PALACE.— -Colonel Trench has published a plan for the application of Buckingham House for a National Picture Gallery, a National Statue Gallery, and for the King,. College ; leaving one entire end of the Palace, and one wing, with the whole of the attics, for other public purposes. He states that Ktrg'a College contains on the two Goers 512 squares of 10 feet by 10 feet. Bucking. barn House contains on the two floors 988 squares, of which 512 being taken for King's College, and 173 far the proposed National Picture Gallery, there would remain 301 square feet, applicable for any other purposes, exclusive of a Statue Gallery of 334 feet in length, not included in the 986 equates, and also of the whole length of the attics, one of which would be admirably suited for an Observatory. The Picture Gallery, as proposed, will be in length 626 f et. By this application of Buckingham Palace, Colonel Trench says there will be a fund for building • Royal Palate in a proper situation, without imposing any new burdens on the people, amounting to 1,749,0811. The hens we curious. The value of the accommodation for King's Col. lege, the picture and statue galleries, &c. is calculated at 400,00 W. ; hems of decoration to be disposed of, as unit for any but a royal palace, produce by sale 94,0811. ; age under the whole building, 2,0001., for 30 years' purchase, 40,0001. The garden, if laid out judiciously, will give 16,000 feet of frontage, at M. per foot, 45,0001. per ann. of grourd rent, at 27 years' purchase, 1,216,0001., making together 12,115,00 W. Add to which wisp of expense which must be incurred sooner or later, if Buckingham Hesse be myo pia' as a residence for a King or Queen, 600,0001.
