the cabinets forget that duty, nations will be in the right to compel them.—Le Temps. The following are the details of the sacking of Warsaw :—The refusal of the Polish army to capi tulate, in which they were supported by a part of t he copulation, highly irritated the Russians, and they came to the assault with unexampled exaspe ration. They placed their scaling ladders at so in , nv points, that the 24,000 men of the Polish army were insufficient to protect the whole circuit of the city. The first efforts of the Russians were Moiler:tun] ; and they were repulsed at every point. Their rage, however, redoubled, and in some places they raised mounds of their dead to fill fip the ditches. After thirty hours of almost incessant lighting, they entered by a part of the walls which was not so w,ll guarded as the rest. The Polish army then retired in good order, con stantly followed by the Russians ; but a part of the lon u Ia ce still resolved to hold out, and here the seen e , became most horrible. Almost all who had taken an active part in the late political movements de fended themselves to the last, and sold their lives dearly. Their resistance redoubled the fury of the Russians, neither women nor their infants were spared. It is said that the agents of several Powers interceded, but the Field Marshal declared that it was impossible for him at the moment to restrain his troops on their first entering ; lie how . ver, promised that they should be prevented from continuing their plunder and violence. Almost oven , door that was not opened was forced, and all flie horrors of war ensued.— Tribune. \Viten Paskewitsch approached Warsaw, saw defences, and considered the heroic spirit of the Prd‘?s—he feared for the discipline even of Russian slaves. He waited therefore three or four days for t supply of brandy, (as necessary as gunpowder), ind half a pint was served to every man before the :everal assaults. The whole army, therefore, were airdly drunk, and hence their terrible slaughter by Poles, who felled them in hillocks of dead, in nu ch their bodies served to fill the ditches far further advance. But the orders from Peters ')urgh were to be obeyed, " cost what it might," end masses after masses were brought up, till the Poles yielded to the tide of brute force. Such was the barbarian and inglorious assault of Warsaw !- 1 r Temps. After Paskewitsch had crossed the Vistula, and the Poles had been publicly cautioned by the in-1 famous French Ministry, not to hazard a battle, hut to await their mediation, they so fortified War- 1 • , :tv as to secure it against surprise. Paskewitsch I fund it then too strong to carry by assault, withaut a sacrifice of life unwarranted by the h!eodiest examples of war,—and hence his halting and long hesitation. He apprized his court of his difficulty, but the answer was a positive order to carry Warsaw at all hazards, and cost whatever it may ! This atrocious order, given in the genuine spirit of despotism, cost the lives of 10,000 Rus sians, and 3 or 4,000 Poles, the latter the bravest' and most heroic of men.—Tribune. The news of the fall of Warsaw produced in our ^ity the most painful sensation. The mourning is :eneral. Several vessels have hoisted their flag i.alf mast high, in token of mourning; but that mourning is much keener still in all hearts, than in the exterior demonstrations of general affliction.— Journal du Havre. Letters received from Sicily, by extraordinary dispatch, announce that an insurrectional movement has taken place at Palermo; these letters say that the movement is curbed, and it is thought that it will not burst out immediately.— Constieutionncl. There is much talk of a change:in the ministry. Overtures have been made, it is said, to Marshal Clausel, who is wished to enter, as well as M. Dupont de l'Eure, into a combination in which would figure Messrs. Decases and Mole.--Revo lution. The Memorial of Toulouse, of the 14th Sept. announces, in a postscript, that very serious trou bles burst out at Montauban on the 13th, in the gathering the indirect taxes. A great number of foreigners having been ar rested in the troubles of these two days, the Go vernment has taken all the measures which the law will permit, to remove from the capital those uho abuse the hospitality they receive. We are 2isured even that, in case of the insufficiency of the existing laws, the Government has decided to make a demand immediately to the Chambers, for special disposition.—Moniteur. The National, the Tribune, and the Revolts have been seized to-day at the Post-office. Utters from Vienna announce to us posi tively, that the pestilential cholera has manifested .tieq in that city. More than 5t.) persons have a4ady died, and the Government has made no communication on the subject. Three days ago (says the Revolution) the po!;ee entered the printing-office of the Tribune at ? o'(!ock in the morning. Yesterday morning at 1 . 1 1-i.ast -1 this domiciliary visit was repeated. The lr.ant contained an order to seek all writings, 'lather already printed or in the press, and to bring M. Auguste Mie to the Prefecture of Police. ‘ivient di s p ute too k p l ace b e t w e e n the polies .:;(! the printers. fhe following is a summary of the conclusions the Commission for revising Article 23 of the latter, delivered yesterday at the Chamber of fputies by ill. Berenger: I. The appointment of the Members of the Chamber of .s belongs to the King 2. None can be called to the dignity of Peer except— "• The Presidents of the Chamber of Deputies and other ~t itive bodies; Deputies, after three elections, or six ; Marshals and Admirals of France ; Lieu t-Gtnetals and Vice-Admirals of the armies, by sea knsl ; Ministers. having a department ; Ambassadors, three years of service ; Counsellors of State, after rears of ordinary service ; Prefects of the Departments, Maritime Prefects, after ten years' service Colonial 'rum after five years' service; Members of the ouncils General, after three re-elections to the ; Mayors of towns of 90,000 souls and upwards, from th.• t lective municipal councils, after five years of i.cs; Prts;,ient of the Court of Cessation and Court of , eount s ; the Procurers-General before these two Courts, " fire >tars' service in that character; Counsellors of the at of c d‘sclon, and Councellor-Masters of the Court of Jams, aficr ti.e years' service; the First Presidents of Royal Courb, after five years of Magistracy in these ' 111 A; the Procurers-General before the said Courts, after years of rtrvice ; the members of the four Academies of knitute Citizens, to whom by a law, and on account nonent servieets, a national reward shall have been spe 1Y awarded; Prupriitors, heads of manufactories, and metelal ur banking.houses, paying five thousand francs Act contributions fur their patents during five years. ,~~r~ 1. These conditions of admissibility to the peerage may be modified by a law. 5. The ordinance of appointment shall indicate by what title each peer is chosen. 6. The number of peers is unlimited. Theirdignity is coo (erred for life, and is not transmissible by hereditary right. They take rank according to the order of their nomination. The street assemblage@ have continued with the same gravity. This morning the galleries of the Palais Royal were evacuated at all quarters. A popular orator especially inflamed the groups by reading with a loud voice a seditious writing,which was afterwards posted upon several trees. The crowd proceeded spontaneowdy towards the Court, uttering cries of fury ; but strong detachments of the line barred the passage with their bayonets. The most irritated then seized the chairs, and hurled them at the soldiers. The police officers arriving, succeeded without much difficulty to drive the groups out of the garden, and to shut the gates of the galleries. Assemblies were formed at a later period around the Chamber of Deputies, and kept increasing until the end of the sitting. Numerous corps of infantry, cavalry, and national guard, were stationed upon the quays. But what took place in the evening was more serious. Con siderable masses traversed the Rue St. Honore, ut tering the most threatening cries ; dispersed by charges of cavalry, they immediately reformed, to the ordinary rallying cries. New attempts at bar ricades were spoken of. Several charges were made in the galleries of the Palau; Royal. We have to deplore some accidents.—L'Avenir. We have received this evening a great number of letters and complaint about the unheard of charges of brutality which have taken place to day, without any summons—without the least formality of Police—and by soldiers for the most part intoxicated, and over whom their officers had no power. Several persons have been grievously wounded. An unfortunate workman was carried bathed in blood into an apothecary's, in the Rue Saint Anne, where he died a few minutes after. To-morrow we will give the details. But you tee the conduct of that power which boasts to-day at the Chamber. Warsaw has fallen !—Let us arm against the Parisian population I !—The fall of Poland causes general agitation ;—let us charge and sabre to suppress the agitation !—That calls itself a government born of the revolution of July, and based upon the dogma of the national so verignty ! ! I—Triune. We hare received to-day letters from a great number of National Guards, who have united to sign addresses to protest against the orders of the Ministry. We shall see whether it is easy to tram ple under foot the opinions of a great city, and of renewing all the worst parts of the restoration, at the distance of one year from the revolution which overthrew it. In the midst of these agitations, there remains but little attention for that which passes in the Chamber; and besides, it is easy to foresee that the magic word tumult, will create excitement in the centres, and usurp the place of eloquence and right. We have learned, for the hundredth time, that we could not traverse Prussia, to go to the assistance Poland, and that consequently, all was for the best. We have learnt also that the nationality of Poland was assured ; that has excited transports. It may be remembered that the Cham ber of 1830, was ravished when it was announced that the Romagnols were going to have municipal institutions, and to enjoy liberty. We have seen what were those institutions, and that liberty, we shall soon see what the nationality is, granted by the Autocrat.—Courrier Francais. COUNT LOBAU TO THE NATIONAL GUARD. ORDEI or TEE Dax.—The news recently published respecting heroic Poland, have diffused sadness through Paris ; and as if such a misfortune were sot sufficient for France, the eternal enemies of public tranquillity,—the men of trouble and disorder—have at. tempted to add to this legitimate sorrow another not less melancholy and still more distressing. All paseroas have been appealed to to mislead a peaceable population, add to instigate them to the most deplorable excesses; but these culpable efforts have been defeated by the good sense of the people, aid the enlightened patriotism by which they are so happily animated. By showing themselves deaf to the ex citements of hatred, and the no less dangerous insinuations of calumny, they have proved that they understand their true interest, and that they are not to be moved by vain tlamours. On this occasion the Marshal, commanding in chief, hastens to fulfil a duty which is very gratifying to him—that of thanking his comrades for their conduct in these troubles, and for the seal with which they have answered his different calls, and particularly in the evening of yesterday. The firmness which they diopleyed on that °melon, as on every other, would of itself suffice for the safety of all. What may ,that firmness not accomplish, aided by the powerful support of the different cos of the army, which will not, any mere than the National Guard, submit to the yoke of the streets and .be influence of mobs, but who, like the Guard, will combat them with indefatigable energy. Let the abettors of disorder rely on this indissoluble al. Hance of power and will, and may the conviction of their own weakness preserve them from new attempts which can not fail to be fatal fo them ! It is useless to claim from the National Guards the continuance of their zeal, and a punctuality always in creasing in the different services to which they may be called. With them that conduct is an affair of honour, and for all others a pledge of peace, a guarantee of se curity. On his part, the Marshal commanding in chief is aware of all his duties, and knows how to fulfil them. hilt to as saw as is fund it without I;:eodiest and long difficulty carry AV; may TI spirit of sins, an and most The nt rity the :eneral. 1 - .31f mas niourninE the eater Journals Letter! dispatch, has taker the move will not 1 There Overturf Clausel, Dupont would I .ution.

It is affirmed that the Cabinets of Prussia, Russia, and Austria, are firmly resolved to secure to Holland the pos session of those portions of territory, which are assigned to it by the protocols. We hear of a 40th Protocol, in which the Conference summonses the Belgians to adhere to the conditions of separation which were previously resolved upon. The organisation of the army is prosecuted with the greatest activity. The cavalry and Infantry see eon• tinually exercised : two new regiments will be added to the twelve, of what the infantry is now composed. The artil lery will be pieced on a much more respectable footing than at the time of the Dutch invasion. The inhabitants of the frontiers of Zealand are in the greatest alarm every day, they expect a surprise, the only object of which can be, to secure the possession of Ghent, even before the renewal of hostilities. VIZWIIA, SZPT. 9.—The Magistrates have received or. ders not to deliver any more passports, with certificates of health ; this proves that the cholera is considered as hating already manifested itself here. Yesterday a surgeon died in three hours and a half, and it is said with indubitable symp. toms of cholera. In Presburg, fifteen persons on an avearage are daily carried off the disorder, without di►tinction of rich and poor. Five per Cents. Metalfigure, 77e. Four per Cents. 87g.

On the news of the approach of the Russian troops, the corps in question re treated precipitately, and Renick has now a stronger gar rison, to secure it against any future attempts of this kind. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 22. ONE O'CLOCK, THIS Dar.--Thermometer, 83. Ba. remoter, 29-90. Weather, fair. Wind W. From Warsaw, we are still without those full details which public sensibility demands ; but we have gleaned from the Paris Journals such addi tional facts as appear to have transpired in that city. The Berlin Papers appear to preserve a sullen silence, and the German Journals greatly to their credit are for the present panic struck. Poles in London, with whom we have had intercourse, are nevertheless sanguine that their countrymen will not lay down their arms, till they have succeeded in expelling the Russians. Our private letter, and our various extracts from the Paris Papers, indicate the continuance of an excitement in that city, which will not be speedily allayed. Blood has, it seems, been shed ; and apparently ivithout sufficient reason. We all remember that the revolution of 1789 was occasioned by a horse-soldier wounding an old man in the gardens of the Tuilleries ; and the late revolution was provoked by some small incident of like kind. It is not therefore to be supposed, that the killing and wounding of 100 persons, to protect in office two or three obnoxious Ministers, will be speedily forgiven, by the sensitive Paris popu lace. The seising of certain journals, and the tenacity of the Government in resisting the popu lar wishes, can scarcely fail to produce some strik ing catastrophe. At length the House of Commons has finished its arduous and important labour of PASSING THE REFORM BILL. In an assemblage last night, of 581 Members, the House suffered under a discus sion kept up till past 5 o'clock this morning, when on a division there appeared 345 for the Bill, and 236 against it—the majority being ONE HUNDRED AND NINE. This was the third night of de bate on the final question that " the Bill do pass;" and its opponents, by speaking against time, evi dently intended to render another adjournment necessary; but ministers chose to baffle them, and to continue the sitting, till the House would endure no speaker after Lord John Russell. Alderman Wood essayed to make some explana nations about the Common Hall ; but his efforts were rendered nugatory, by the overwhelming cry of question, divide, &c. Mr. Hunt also wished to be heard ; but in spite of his stentorian voice, few of his observations could be discriminated. After the division was announced, it was followed by long and tumultuous cheering, which we are persuaded will be echoed through the nation. The impression has prevailed through the morn ing, that this triumph will be celebrated in Lon don by a general illumination ; but at the time of our going to press. we have not heard of any preparations, and probably, further demonstrations of public satisfaction will be deferred, till after the Bill has been passed into a law. At this stage of this great measure of NA TIONAL REGENERATION, we feel ourselves called upon to express our unequivocal gra titude to the authors and supporters of the bill, for the firmness, ability, and perseverance by which they have been enabled to triumph over every obstacle. Even last night, it will be seen, that the interested, misled, and corrupt fac tion mustered no less than two hundred and thirty-six votes, consisting 'of persons hacknied in debate, and Parliamentary juggling. To resist all their measures, and keep together a pha lanx sufficient to defeat them, even in this last struggle, was not merely a great merit, but an EVER-MEMORABLE display of public virtue. To Lord J. Russell the public are indebted for bringing in the Bill, and explaining its objtc•s I with good intelligence ; but to the constitutional energy, and cool intrepidity of Lord Althorp, the nation is more particularly indebted for its triumph in the House of Commons. We ought not, at the same time, to forget the able, legal illustrations of the Attorney-General; and perhaps to the in tellectual ability and personal equanimity, of the three, may be ascribed that subjugation of all those passions, which otherwise endan gered the progress of the measure. No doubt, the names of all the persons who, by their inde fatigable attendance gave strength to these lead ers, will be suitably transmitted to posterity ; and while they enjoy the high satisfaction of hav ing thus done their duty to their country, their families, through all time, will have rea•un to consider their alliance as an honourable di'tinc tion.

(The Prussian State Gazette has no farther news from Poland.) liamsuaeu, SEPT. 17.--On the 10th inst. certificates of health were again issued at Vienna. This change is said to have been made in consequence of a difference of opinion between the physicians respecting the presence of the cholera. Account@ from St. Petersburg my, that the cholera had again appeared with such •iolence at Nesburg, Novogrod, that the inhabitants left the city before the fair was ended.— Hamburg, Borsen Ilalk, Sept. 17• leave—never need—greater proof, than eiyht hundred millions of debt, seventy millions of , yearly taxes and assessments, twenty-three years war against reformation and liberty, and the bulky Statute Books—the importance and glory of the achievement will be felt and acknow !edged for countless generations. If the feelings of the British Nation have not been expressed by overt acts, such as the Parisian populace have been provoked to commit, yet we venture to affirm, that the general sensation created in London, and thoughout the United Kingdom, by the capitulation of Warsaw, has not been ex ceeded in its intensity by the French, Germans, or any people in Europe. No event for many years, not of personal character. has more affected all ranks; and we are persuaded, that the great meet ing of the artisans of London, held last night, have inadequately expressed their abhorrence in the reso lutions which appear in our last page, and to which we refer our readers. In the introduction of them, the speech of Mr. Cleave, whose manly eloquence we often have had occasion to praise, was received with enthusiastic cheers ; and we regret that we have not room to give place to his judicious exposition of the claims of Poland to the sympathy and protection, not merely of the British people, but of freemen all over the world.

During the whole of the morning Consols hare been at 811 82 for the Account, with scarce a bar gain doing, and the House has been very thinly attended, u well as the Royal Exchange.

There is a considerable attendance of people in and round the Houses of Parliament, to cheer Lord John Russell, and the Members in carrying up the Bill this afternoon to the House of Lords. Mr. Duncomb's motion last night, relative to Lord Salisbury's treatment of his tenantry. has created a very lively interest through the metro polis; and it is to be hoped that he will follow it up as a breach of privilege. At the half-yearly general meeting of the Bank Proprietors this morning, a dividend of 4 per cent. was declared. In answer to questions of Mr. Young, it was stated that the Bank notes now io circulation, are £17,600,000. Mr. Rtosir moved an adjournment, with a view to a statement of accounts, &c. but it was negatived. The accounts from Brussels state, that they con sider it as certain there, that it is the intention of the King of Holland to resume hostilities on the 10th of October, when he will take possession of Dutch Flanders. He is now occupied in complet ing his army. The accounts from the frontiers of Poland of the 21th of August state, that Commissioners from the Foreign Powers arrived at the head-quit: ten of General Paskewitz, vested with full powers to ne gociate a suspension of arms ; but the Emperor of Russia declared to the diplomatic corps at Petersburg that all intervention in favour of the Poles will rot change his intentions, until they submit volunta lily, when they shall have his pardon, and enjoy a liberal Constitution. Report says that upwards of one hundred were wounded at Paris on Monday night, and three killed by the charge of the troops. We hear that Don Pedro purchased, yesterday, an Indianian for 1,5001. Quebec Papers received this day, give a corn paratire statement of arrivals and settlers to the 15th August, of the past and present year, as follow : 1830, vessels 353 ; tonnage 143,762 ; settlers 22,859. 1831, vessels, 583 ; ton nage 150,418 ; settlers 38,9.55. It will Le seen by the above statement that notwith standing the Spring fleet was very numerous, there are not thirty arrivals this season over the corresponding period of 1830. The total, how ever, at the close of the navigation, is expected to exceed that of any former year. '[he New York papers received this morning, to the 25th of August, gives news to the following effect :—" ♦Ve have received regular file. of Mexi can papers to the 18th of July. Official commu nication of the state for the Department of the In terior says, that the rains had fallen without inter mission." A fire broke out at two o'clock at Messrs. Chambers, tea-dealers, in St. Clement's Church yard, which was increased in rapidity and danger to the inmates by the police bursting open the ship door. The parish ladders were close at hand, to facilitate escape from the windows; but it is said the man in charge refused to bring them till lie ascertained who was to pay him for his trouble ! Neighbours with blankets, let down from the top, how ever, enabled three persons to escape on► the upper windows, after which, the ladders were brought. A fire, kindled by an incendiary, took place near Calliogton, on Monday night, in a mow-hay be longing to Mr. Sambells, assistant-overseer. The flames were extinguished, but not before a stack of oat. and great part of a rick of hay were destroyed. A poor man, named Kitte, who resided at some distance, seeing the flames, hastened towards the spot ; but having to cross a common, he unfortu nately fill into a shaft of an old mine, by which his head was dashed to pieces. rut: KING'S L(VEE.

His Majesty held a Privy Council, at which Sir Frederick Adam, the Lord High t onmoissioner of the lonian Islands, was intro duced, sworn in a Privy Councillor, aid took his seat at the Board accordingly. There were a great number of the nobility and gentry present. DONCASTER. Tuesday Night.—At an early bout this morning the town displayed much of the excite.:4•l4 usual on the St. Leger day ; carriages came rattling in lion every quarter, and the different roads were alive with the immense numbers on the journey to the scene of action ; a stranger would not have thought it possible that there coon ha re been any falling off in the meeting. On the course. too, the scene was brilliant—the grand stand was surrounded front the basement to the roof, the display of beauty and fashion in the balcony being scarcely inferior to former days; the other stands were also full, and the course itself lined by many thousand spectators. Comparatively, however, the attendance was very small—we should say that not above two thirds of the number of petsona were present who wit nessed the St. Leger last year. After the jockeys had received the usual instructions from Mr. Lockwood, sen. Sir David Bair addressed a few words to them on the propriety of evoking fats., starts, assuring them, that if any thing unfair was provsd of a jockey, he would not be permitted to ride any more at Doncaster. The hones were then paraded before the Grand Stand, and after a very trifli'g delay, taken to the starting-post. At this time odds, after undergoing several fluctuations, averaged as fol low s-3 to 1 agst The Saddler, 7 to 2 apt Marcus, 9 to 1 agst Liverpool, 12 to I agst Delight (taken), 14 to I apt Tarrare (taken), 13 to 1 apt Circassian, 16 to I apt our John, 18 to I apt Colwiek (taken), 25 to 1 agst Creole, to I agst Brother to Homer, 23 w 1 agst Lady klizabeth (taken), a.ll 40 to 1 apt Achilles. The start was admirably managed by Mr. Lockwood, jun. who has stared the horses for the St. Leger four sue cenive years without a single false go. They went off' at the first attempt. Brother to Tarrare had an excellent start, and made first running. followed by Chancellor, Te toium, and Mal•gardee; The Saddler, Liverpool, Lady Elizabeth well up to them, and Chorister about the centre, with Itubini, Circassian and Sadler's two. Chifney on Marcus went off last, and, strange to say, was little better than last at any period of the race. Tarrare did not continue the Lead further than half way to the hill —be then fell back into the crowd, and was heard of no more. Chancellor carried im the running, the other horses preserving their places as stated above • nor did any movement of importan ce take =in] they got to the Red House, where symptoms of manifested themselves. Alarcus was the lint to ay out, and, in point of fact, he was now dead beat; Cot_ wick, who had sickened at the bill, followed Marcus; and in a kyr strides more we perceived Creole, Circassian, D e li g h t , Achilles, and Si; John drop astern ; at the rails all those were we of the race completely, together withioan of Ark, Stream_ Ist, Phantom, and two or three other!, *bon names do not now strike us. To return to 'hefted Howe Tetotuns was now ileum crowd,and Chancellor was passed by Malgardee as they neared rails; The Saddler at the same timo went up to the mate, whom lie had passed a little below the distance. Chorister, who had hitherto been waiting with great patience, now began to draw upon The Saddler, but it was not till they were opposite the Stand that he Made a serious effort: he then challenged, and between these two a beautiful struggle ensued, the last 'ride deciding it in fa vour of Chorister by half a head only. Till the Judge's decision was given, the majority of the lookers.on were of opinion that the Saddler had just won it.
