He t then inquired if Frans, was wise I n 1793 to pursue the s ystem of a war of propaganda which was then adopted.— lie enumerated the campaigns which followed, and ~bored how they led to the military despotism of Napoleon. Is it desirable he asked to engage In a war un i re rsal and interminable ? Belgium was a source of em -I,arrissment to all the world, but especially to France. When , tiwcatne the subject of diseassion before the Conference of 1,011t!on, it was not necessary, as in an ordinary deliberative ,s.,mbly, that the opinion of the minority, as con ..riled by 51. Mauguln and General Liunarque, should urcurnb before that of the majority. It was indispensable the peace of Europe, that the neutrality of Belgium t!•ould he maintained,—that it should not be blockaded by fleets, nor overrun by Prussian armies. To effect 11.:, object, k was necessary to exclude the Prince of o ra nge, and after him the Duke de Leuebtenberg. He reminded the Chamber of the nomination by Napoleon of his brother-in-law and his brother to the thrones of N pies and of Holland ; and showed from the conse quences that followed, haw impolitic and imprudent it would have been to have accepted the crown of Belgium for ti:e Doke de Nemours. He defended the accession of Leo. ~old, and argued that under him the ueutrality of Bel ...,Junt will make it a more effectual tete.the-porsi for the de t nee of the kingdom, than if it had been actually annexed a* a permanent apanage to the French Crown. He next :.,!ilrtssed himself to the other great breach, the question of Polmd, to which, with that of Belgium, the arguments of 31auguin and Gen. Lamarque were confined. He quoted the. opinions of Napoleon and of Frederick the Great, as to the influence of Poland on the balance of power in Europe. All the Ministers were present at this sitting, which pre sented the same aspect as yesterday. The palace was occu pied by soldiers of the fine and national guards, but none were stationed on the square or bridge, which were patrolled by a few horse guards, who forced the people to move, and yr...tented them from forming into groups.

In 1814, the widow of Berthier was despoiled of her rights over us. The country might aad ought to have declared itself free and independent ; but the Council of State, without consulting the people, and in pursuance of the decision of a majority, and not of the unanimous voice of that assembly, who tither sought to preserve their own places than to promote the welfare and happiness of their fellow cei7ens, placed the country again in the hands of the King of Prussia, who at the same time retained pos,es,,ion of those duchies which he had received in exchange. This disastrous restoration, which nos nothing less than the result of an alliance between Kings against the people, sanctioned that usurpation and treason against which we now protest.

The Polish troops of the corps of Gielgud, about 4,000 in number, are now going to the district of Sameland, beyond Konigs berg, where they are to remain in the different vil lages till the further orders of the King. They will be embarked near the village of Schaaken, not far from this town, and be conveyed by water to the place of their destination; their cantonments, it seems, are to be surrounded by a cordon of troops. The officers belonging to the corps, about four hundred in number, are permitted to reside in twenty small towns of East Prussia, which are assigned them, but they have been all obliged to give their word of honour not to leave the district. About sixty subalterns, ' , who pertinaciously refused to give their word of honour, will be sent to the fortresses of Pillau, land Grandenz. Barium, Saay. cases, ' 45 ; recoveries, 3 ; deaths, 27.

So far is the House of Lords from considering its duty as merely ministerial in the affair of the Reform Bill, that we understand, a Committee have determined this day, to have the House fitted up in the same manner as for the late Queen's trial; and that the discussions are to be special, commencing at 10 in the morning and closing at 5. All this looks very like a formal trial of the PEOPLE of ENGLAND at their Bar. It is an inexplicable circumstance that the Ber lin Gazette since the 12th, when it announced the Capitulation of Warsaw, has preserved a mysteri ous silence, relative to Polish affairs, and ulterior events on the five following days, down to the 17th, which we have received. As speculation on the cause of this reserve would be vain, we content ourselves with stating the fact; and leave the cause to the conjectures of our readers. In truth, since the announcement which the French Government received from Berlin, and the short notice which appeared in the Berlin Gazette of the 12th, published in London on Sa turday and Monday last, no fact whatever has transpired in Western Europe relative to these im portant Affairs. An article from Vienna, which we give this day, quotes the Berlin account, though Vienna is nearer to Warsaw than to Berlin ; and we also have Ger-' man Papers, and letters from German towns, not more distant from Warsaw than Berlin ; and yet they are all silent on the subject of this event. Even yesterday, we gave a letter in the ST♦ R from Kalisch, in Poland, dated the 12th, within a day's journey of Warsaw ; and though it relates to mi litary operations, and gives details about the Rus-1 ''7,,,,‘"Aki• • sian corps of KNORILING, and the Polish corps of ResYCK I, yet it makes no allusion to the conquest of Warsaw, and to its natural effects on the move ments which it coolly describes. Nevertheless, we infer that it must be a fact, that the Russians did fight their way into Warsaw, and this result was of course communicated to Berlin in all haste, and published by the Prussian Government with greedy eagerness; butsomething must have occurred to prevent the communication of subsequent circumstances. We consider sur mises as vain and dangerous ; but we have never lost sight of the garrison of Medlin, and of the 36,000 Poles said to be on the right of the lower Vistula—for we expected, that as PASICEWITSCH ventured to approach Warsaw, they would cross the river and assail his flanks and rear. Whether something of this kind has occurred, we know not: it is barely possible ; for we observe that the Poles marched out as the Russians marched in ; and if the operation which we contemplate was success ful, Warsaw itself might be merely a decoy. The assault would thin the Russian ranks more than any pitched battle, and we again repeat, that it is just possible, that we may yet have cheering news from Poland ! Our Paris letter, just received, is dated Wednes day ; and it informs us that on Tuesday night, that city continued tranquil, though groups were formed in the gardens, and in front of the Palais Royale. On Wednesday the streets were more than usually thronged, but there was no military interference. To encourage the soldiers, it ap pears that immense quantities of wine had been distributed among them ; and that their wanton cruelty in cutting and maiming the people was occasioned by many of them being drunk. Hence there was a complaint made in the Chamber of Deputies of assaults committed on the Members, when they separated on Monday evening. We have also received copious extracts from the Gazette de France, L'Avenir, Le Temps, Quoti dienne, La Revolution, Tribune, Montieur, Journal de Paris, Courrier de Francais, and Journal des Debate. We have time to-day only to extract as under: The result, It is said, of all the diplomatic notes of Nes selrode, of which M. de Mortemart has rendered an account to Sebsatiani, and of which the latter has taken good care to cite nothing but fragments, is, that the Emperor of Russia, in announcing that it was his intention to maintain the nationality of the kingdom of Poland, as he had sworn, notwithstanding the insurrection of the Poles, had constantly declared that he would not accept and would not suffer any kind of intervention, nor of foreign mediation, between him and his Polish subjects.—Quotiniti. The news of Warsaw, given by the Gazettes of Berlin, are drawn up in the basely servile style which the Russian Ga settee are obliged habitually to employ. The Russo-Prus sian Gazettes state that Warsaw cannot be saved, nor even the army; the Polish chiefs will make their submission; that it is to wait the orders of the Emperor and King; that General Malachowski, after Krukoviecki had confided the command to him, has conducted the troops to Plock ; and that be has declared such to be his intention in two letters to Paskewhsch. They may now calumniate the Poles, whom they bare subjugated, with impunity; perhaps to save the brave soldiers from Russian barbarity, the chiefs have judged it prudent to succumb ; nevertheless, they will never m ak e us believe in the servility of heroes, who have mode thus pay so dear for then victory. The thousands of bodies with which the fosses of WerNIW have been Med will save to pane :the abhorrence of the Polish nation towards the conquerors. Paakewitach, who, however, is but the in strument of the Cabinet of Petersburg, may boast of having followed the conduct of &avow ; the days of Praga and of Warsaw will attest to posterity that it is through seas of blood ilia Russian despotism maintains its sway upon the Vistula, where, since the reign of Catherine, it creates iskeryandjwietchedness among the inhabitants.—Le Temps. The number t of persons detained at the Prefecture of Police, arrested during Saturday and Sunday alone, amounted to Eighty-eight. The prisoners incessantly chaunt the Parisienne and the Muselloise.—Gazer des Tri bunals& A painful scene and which is yet without ex a mple i n th e annals of our intestine divisions, passed yesterday evening at the Pablo Royal. A great number of soldiers of the line fined the court of honour ; the gates of the iron railing which surround hirers closed, and the railings garnished by a great timber of curious inoffensive persons, men, women, and children, whose attention was attracted to the games, by the aid of which the soldiers endeavoured to kill time. About eight o'clock, the King, riving from the table, placed himself at the balcony, and addressed some words of en couragement to the troops, upon the zeal which they had not ceased to display for some days. A general, who.was in the Court, seised the moment when his Majesty ter. mutated one of his phrases, to brandish his sword, and cry Vine roi ! Some soldiers repeated the same ; but these viva' were drowned by other cries stronger and more numerous of Five le heves A btu lee Mi. 'delve! which burst forth from the surrounding galleries. l The King withdrew ! A very few minutes had passed after the window of the Royal balcony was closed, when all at once, without beat of drum—without awe tIMMOISS without even a ere, or any menace which could an nounce the bloody drama—twenty gates were opened simukaneostaly, and gave passage to a crowd of soldiers, officers, serjeents of the city, to one or two generals, and Melia Commissaries of Police, who, running pell mell, with all their force, threw themselves into the midst of the curious, whose attention remained peaceably directed towards the windows of the Palace. All the lateral issues were closed; there remained only the two long stone galleries. The spectators who found themseivesattacked thus unawares, knew not were to take refuge, dashed against and pushed on all sides without power to advance. The soldiers mix,:d in this crowd, distributed at random, blows with the but end of their muskets, and thrusts with the bayonet, encouraged as they were by the police officers, whose swords did not rensAin inactive. Oa all sides were raised horrible cries ;we cannot estimate the numbet of victims,. They must have been great; for we repeat, the apectatots, not having a thought of flight, and their dense masses being locked up, every blow told. We saw several victims fall; we cite one young man, of 10 or 17 years, whose head was nearly pierced with a bayonet thrust, and who fell in front of the Cafe Valois, into which place he was drawn with great difficulty, from under the feet of the sol diers and the eity *crimes. Not far from that, under the gent gallery, at the corner of the binge:in de Modes of Mad. Mansion, lay extended on the slabs an unfortunate old man, pierced with several bayonet thrusts, and who received besides a blow from the sword of every soldier, or serjeant of the city, who passed him. The soldiers were heated with wine, which had been distributed to them. Whatever may be said, the Palace of King Louis-Philippe has been stained with the blood of inoffensive citizens, nearly under his eyes ! It is time to remove from the pavement the traces of human blood, which so often sullies it. The number of victims wounded in consequence of this ambuscade is reckoned from 25 to 30; four were conveyed to the corps-de-garde of the National Guard, which faces the Cour des Fontaines ; ano. thee, Henry Moinet, was carried into the Cafe of that Court. One man killed was deposited at the Morgue: the individual wounded in front of the Cafe Valois, was carried to the Hospital Beaujon.—Referintion. In the Lords last night, the royal assent was given by Commission to several bills, and among others, the Hackney Coach Bill, and the loisli Public Works Bill. Considerable interest, and an extra attendance were caused by the expected bringing up Of the REFORM 131 t. T.. Lord John Russell appeared' at the head of a large holy of Members of the House, and delivered it at the bar to the Lord Chancellor. Soon after, Lord Grey moved that it should be read a first time, and also that on Monday week, it should be read a second time, and their Lordships be summoned. In the House of Commons, it appeared that the Clergy are still busying themselves about the Beer Bill ; a party of them in Staffordshire had got up two petitions, which Mr. Warburton said could have no other object than to promote monopoly, and raise the price of Beer. Mr. Hunt prrsented a petition from Hudders field,against the pharasaical pretensions of the Sup pression of Vice Society. Colonel Evans moved for a Select Committee on the Deacle petition, which was postponed till Tuesday. Mr. Stanley brought in a Bill to subject certain offences under the White Boy Act, to transporta tion instead of death. It also proposes some other ameliorations. Mr. O'Connell moved for an account of the number of persons confined for violating the St null) Act: and Mr. Hume presented a petition on the same subject. The House adjourned before eight o'clock. This evening the House is to be called, and those not in atteadance are to be committed to the custody of the Sergeant at Aran.

Russell were seat fur to the office of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, where they were met by Lord James Stuart, the Lord Advocate, Mr. Charles Grant, and about twenty other Scotch members, as a deputation from that body, on the subject of the Scotch reform bill. This afternoon, the Lord Chancellor left London for Cumberland, with an intention to relax from his numerous cares till Monday week, when the second reading of the Reform Bill is fixed to take place in the House of Lords. _ . Their Majesties went yesterday to Woolwich Dock-yard, to witness the launch of the Thun derer, in eight carriages and four, with outriders, escorted by a detachment of Lancers, and left the Palace at St. James's, by the garden gate, about half-put 12 o'clock. The King and Queen we'e accompanied by the Duchess of Cumberland, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Princess Augusta, Prince George of Cumberland, Prince George of Cambridge, the Duchess of Saxe Wei mar, Prince Frederick of Hohenlohe Jehringen, the Baron de Bockelberg ; attended by the Duke of Devonshire, the Earl of Albemarle, Lord Hill, Lord James O'Brien, Lady Brownlow, Miss Wilson, Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, Lord Adolphus Fitsclarence, Sir William Fre mantle, Sir Frederick Watson, Sir Henry Wheatly, Lord Robert Grosvenor, Viscount Valletort, and Sir Andrew Barnard. The King appeared in Admi ral's uniform. They returned to the Palace at St. James's shortly before six o'clock. The Russi.in and French Ambassadors and Count Mastuezevic, the Russian Minister, on a special mission, had a conference for near two hours yester day afternoon, at the Foreign-orrice, with Viscount Palmerston. In Scotland the whole country is in motion. The Glasgow Chronicle, received yesterday, announces Meetings in Glasgow, Greenock, &c. In the course ot five hours, 1,700 signatures were obtain ed in Greenock t.) the county of Renfrew petition. The Dumfries Courier states, that in one day 900 signatures were obtained to the Reform petition in Dumfries. Annan, Castle-Douglas, and the other towns in that neighbourhood were holding meetings to petition. Between 10 and 11 s. 'clock on Monday morning, while a pony chaise, containing dime ladies, was standing at the York-gate, New road, the horse suddenly took fright and darted off with terrific impetuosity. 7he shiver, who was standing at the animal's head at the moment, was kno, ked down, and the horse, as well as the chaise, passed over his body. The horse dashed forward until it reached Salcoml-street, where it came in contact with a heavily laden van ; and so great was the concussion that the chaise was literally smashed to atoms, the ladies thrown out, and the infuriated animal sprang forward, the broken shafts banging to his sides, and goading on to increased speed. The by-standees at first supposed the ladies were killed, yet they had escaped without any serious injury. lltCD.—At Edinburgh, on the 20th instant Mr. Thomas Reid, in his 88th year: most of •eh.t>e lit' was passed there in an aasuluous applicalon of his time and intellect to the perfecting chronometrical Science.—lle re tired from business some years ago on an ample fortune, and has occupird his entire leisure since, in pursuing the same studies. as matter of armament, which had been the means, with industry, of obtaining the competency he en joyed. He carried on a correspondence with some of the first men of science in Europe, and contributed antral va luable articles both to the Cyclopedia. of Dr. Rees and Dr. Brewster. lie was likewise a frequent correspondent to the scientific jou-nals—particularly Nicholson's. During his retirement be published • " Treatise on Clock and Watch Making," which is beyond all doubt the most complete and scientific in the language on that subject. As a man, he was amiable—cheerful in disposition—generally well-informed, and enjoyed the esteem of a large and respectable circle. SECOND EDITION Private letters from Lisbon, brought by the Dutch mail, which enables us to give extracts from the miserable Gazettes of that city, state that great confusion and terror continue to prevail, that up wards of one hundred soldiers have been shot, in consequence of the late mutiny, and that other executions are expected. On the arrival of the mail at Falmouth, a Government vessel was dis patched to Admiral CODR I N TON'S squadron ; and it is believed, by well informed persons, that he has been directed to sail immediately to the Tagus. The preceding circumstances, and so;ne others con nected with the movements of D.►n PEDRO and the Constitutional party, warrant a conclusion that the career of MIGUEL rapidly approlches its end.
