This day despatches were received at the Colonial Office from Sir FREDERICK ADAM, the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Isles, dated Corfu, the fith of March; from Major-General the Honourable F. C. PONSONBY, the Governor of Malta, dated the 12th ; from General Sir G. •Dox, Lieutenant Governor of Gibraltar, dated the 21st ; and from Cadiz, dated the 22d following. By the Estafetto of this morning, we have received the Paris papers, and some original letters, from which we make some important extracts.—We refer our readers to a letter printed in the Constitutionnel, explanatory of the situation, of the Italian Patriots., and which we think will be found exclusively in this paper. We present a mass of Continental Intelligence this even ing to our Readers, which will be found highly important. The respective relations between Poland and Russia ; Austria and Italy ; Belgium and Holland ; and, above all, France and the other Powers, aro equally critical, and fully developed in our subsequent columns. We give the subjoined extracts from papers received direct, by the Dutch mail this morning; and, under our usual head, the intelligence from the Paris Journals, will afford ample subject for serious consideration, not only to the Statesman, but to every individual capable of reflection. Bausszt.., Kasen 27.—1 n consequence of the arrest of Colonel Borremans, numerous groups assembled yesterday before the barrack St. Elizabeth. where the lit regiment of chaiscurs is quartered' The crowd was greatly exasperated ; but it seems that General Vandermeeren, accompanied by :Captain Nigue, succeeded in pacifying it. Towards the evening the people went to the prison of tha Petits Carmel, where the Colonel of the Chasseurs was confined, and then to the residence of the Regent, where they loudly called for him to appear on the balcony. In a few minutes he came out, and was received with cries of the " Regent for ever ! Justice! Justice!" Surlet, exhorted the crowd to be peaceable, and promised speedy and rigorous justice on the guilty. The crowd retired, and then went to the Printing-office of the Vrai Patriole, which was attacked. The presses, &c. were broken ; the types and papers scat tend about. A patrol of the civic guard, attempting to check the disorder, was partly disarmed. One or two persons are said to have been wounded. The crowd then went to the house of one of the editors of the Vrai Patriote, singing patriotic airs; but the civic guard hindered a new scene of devastation. Numerous patrols traversed the city during the night. This morning every thing appeared quiet. tinrcemans was interrogated on the 25th, by the members of the high military tribunal, delegated for that purpose, in presence of the Auditor General ; he was not transferred to the Petits Caroles till two in the morning, so great had been the fears entertained for his life, if he bad been removed in the day time. Trees of liberty bad been pulled down in many places; the Chasseurs and the people have replaced them dur- • ing the night. It is said, that a superior officer hat. gone with orders to I arrest two general officers, suspected of corresponding with the enemy Several officers of the staff are to leave Brussels to-day. It has been re ported, that several officers were arrested, among others M. Vander missen. These reports are greatly exaggerated. M. Vandermissen arrived at Brussels yesterday evening. MARCH 28—The greater pan of yesterday passed over quietly.— Two proclamations were issued—one from the new Minister of the in terior—the other from the Burgomaster, exhorting the inhabitants to tran quillity, and to the maintenance of order. Numerous patrols of the civic guard paraded the streets : the chief agitation was in the Anderlecht street, before the house of Al. Mathieu Mcermans, which had been threatened the night before ; but strong detachments of the civic guard had pre- I served it. Vesterday,during the day, numerous picquets were stationed in the streets; but about 8 o'clock in the evening, the crowd increased se much, that it could not be checked ; and at 9, the people forced their way into the house and destroyed every thing : the furniture I was broken, the merchandise thrown about; in a few moments the street was covered with furniture, with papers and bales of all kinds of grocery, of which there was a warehouse. Several carriages were found , taken to the great square and burnt. At nine o'clock this morning, the people were still in possession of the town. The remainder of the city was tranquiL The prison of the Petits Cannes, is guarded by numerous detachment. of civic guards, and troops of the line. The house of Al. Jones, coachmaker, Rue de Lacken, was attacked early this morning, and devastated in the sante manner. At this moment (eleven o'clock), the sections are proceeding, with drums beating, to the upper pan of the city, where the Regent is to re. view them. General Chasteler set out yesterday, poet for Moline. ' and Antwerp, on emission relative to the late intrigues of the partisans of the Prince of Orange. Lord Ponsonby had a long conference with me Regent yesterday. Baussims, March Z.—Since yesterday afternoon, tranquillity is quite restored. The hostile intentions shown by the crowd, the eight before last, rendered a much greater display of force neces sary. Accordingly. strong detachments of the civic guard assembled at the respective rendezvous, firmly resolved to put an end to the dis order in which the city was plunged. A numerous detachment went to the house of M. Jones, which they cleared of the people : it was for the most part pillaged. The crowd then went to the manufactory of Previnaire, out of the Flanders gate, and some of them had entered it, when a detachment of Chastelet's chasseurs came up, and by their energy cleared the manufactory and saved it from destruction, without bloodshed. Meantime, a staff deputation of the Civic Guard waited on the Regent, in the course of the , morning, to consider of means of restoring order, and the most vigoroui measures were resolved on. The night was passed over quietly, and it does not appear that any disorder has since occurred. Brussels is again deeply indebted to the zeal of the Civic Guard. Yesterday morning there was a Council of Ministers, which sat to a late hour. M. Lebeau is appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs. dl. M. Defacqz, and Devaux, are appointed Members of the Council of Mi nisters, M. Nothomb, &teeter> -Gen. to the Minister for Foreign Af fairs • M. Wallez, Secretary General of the Marine Department. We are assured (says I' Itulepeisdent) that Count d'Aerschot, the Belgian Envoy, has not been received at London by the Minister for Foreign Affairs. M. Plaisant, Director of the Police, having it is said, taken sonic measures of security, which were not approved by the Council of Ministers, yesterday morning tendered his resignation which was accepted, Al. C. Rogier, of Liege, late Member of th; Provisional Government appointed in his room. 11 Vandermeere, military governor of Brabant, has resigned. He is succeeded by Col. Malherbe of Liege, aid-de-camp to the Regent. It is also said, that Messrs. Huysman, d'Annecroix, reemans, and de resign their seats in the Congress. The Manifesto of the Belgic Association were posted up yesterday at the corners of the streets. Yesterday morning part of the troops of the garrison of Liege set out for Brussels. Aarwaar, Maser 2G.—Fresh troubles have taken place at Ghent. It appears that a soldier was assassinated in a cellar, under a tavern on the Schelde. It is evident the landlord shut the door, and that the pow victim was dreadfully mutilated; he did not die before he was examined by the dicers of justice. Many of his comrades, and some &isms, went to the tavern, and threw the furniture into the river. They then west to the house of M. Steven, (editor of the Massager de Gwatl,) which they completely gutted : the fragments of his furniture, omrieges, papers, &e. covered the Schelde. ANTWESP Muscat 18.—Geserals Beaulieu sod DutailUs ar rived ben y esterday, to tabs the military asmund of the divi. WIPP" sion and the fortress. We are ss.ured that on Friday proposals were made to sonic officers. to march their troops the next day to Brussels, which they formally . refiised—expressing their indignation. It is added that they also refused to take a part of the 31t millions, which they were told are deposited in the citadel, and that an officer went express to Inform the /Imam of the circumstances. Lastly, we will add, add as impartial reporters, that we are assured, that several military positions were abandoned without the knowledge of the officers. Duke Bernard of Saxe Weimar, Governor of Luxemburg (for the King of Holland), has published two proclamations to the inhabitants; in the first he announces a complete amnesty for all political acts, writ. logs, notes, or opinions ; and in the second, he publishes the Protocol of the Diet of Frankfort, containing the resolution to order twenty-four thousand troops of the Confederation, to be ready to reestablish the au thority of the King of Holland, as Grand Duke. As the expenses that , this occupation will cause to fall,according to the laws of the Confedera lion, on the inhabitants of the Grand Duchy, he thinks it his duty to give them due notice, that they may be the more ready to return their obedience to their Lawful Sovereign.— As the number of rations of provisions and forage, that will be neces sary for the corps of occupation, cannot be precisely fi xed, persons desirous to contract, may apply to the Hotel of the Government. The Subscribers to the Belgic Association become houtly more nu merous. Corresponding Committees are forming in the provinces. The Courtier publishes a long list of names.—Brussels Papers, March 30. HAGITR, MARCH 27.—His Majesty, by • decree of the 22d, has ordered that the infantry of the army in the field, shall be divided into three divisions; each consisting of three brigades : the first to be corn. mended by General Van (ken, the second:by the Duke of Saze Wei mar, and the third by Lieutenant-Gencral Meyer. A number of Amsterdam metchants and shipowners have addressed a petition to his Majesty, requesting that he would not grant licences to ships built in Southern provinces, and belonging to Belgic towns, which might desire to form establishments in the north provinces. Messrs. White and Abercrombie, the two English officers who were sent by Lord Ponsonby to Maestricht, to convince themselves on the spot, whether the Belgians had returned to the positions which they occupied en the 21st of November last, as agreed on in the armistice, bave returned to Brussels. They found the village of Eyaden still occupied by Belgian troops, contrary to the armistice. Various accounts from Amsterdam say that the ptoposed loan of 42 millions, begins to be more and more approved of there. The ' Prus sian State Gazette' of the 25th and 2fith March, contains accounts from St. Petersburgh of 16th, and from Warsaw of the 21st. Front St. Petersburgh it is stated that Prince 51tolsael arrived oh the fhlt at Kowno, and OD the 10th passed over the Niemen, with part of the guards that were on their march to Poland, after his Imperial Highness returned to Kowno. The emperor has named the coun sellor of S ate, Fuhrman, and Adjutant Stroganoff; Member l of the Provisional Government of Poland. The accounts direct from Poland arc to the 21st inst. inclusive. On the 17th. the Governor (Krukowicski) accompanied by his staff; viewed the fortifications of the city, the barriCadoes in the streets, the means of de. fence in private houses, and the batteries on the other side of the river. Among other particulars, it appears that mines arc made in several places, that many doors and windows are barricaded, and that walls are built across the streets, by which the city is divided into separate fortified quarters. Letters from Zamose of the 14th, received at Warsaw, say that on he 11th a Russian battalion was surrounded at Uchanil, and compelled to surrender, the prisoners had been brought to Zamose. ILTnfavouruble acounts had been received from Cracow, respecting the health of Gene ral Chlopicki ; he was very seriously ill. The Polish soldiers appear to be very burdensome to the citizens of Warsaw. The Governor has issued a proclamation on the subject. The Warsaw journals say that there have been no public sitting of the Diet for some ttime past ; the members only have private meetings. It is expected there will now be a public sitting, in which a project of law will be brought forward relating to the assignment of land to the peasantry. On the 18th, the Minister of the Interior installed the newly-elected Municipal Council of Warsaw. A34II2IIIIDAII i MARCH 20.—Actual Debt, 21 per Cent. 39, 40.

Although we believe Lord Wits RNCLIFFE must be con sidered by his friends as rather inconveniently honest, in some of the admissions which are said to have fallen from him in a late debate, the purport of those admissions must be consi dered extremely encouraging, by the supporters of the Re form Bill. He seemed to admit, that if carried in the House of Commons, it would not be rejected in the House of Lords. We are of opinion, that the safety of the aristocratical branch of our Constitution, depends on the success of the proposed Bill; and did we not perceive that the Bill had a direct tendency to protect that part of the Constitution, in all the privileges which are for the good of the commonwealth ge nerally, and not adverse to its progress in all that consti tutes social happiness, we should not be advocates for the measure. But we have the satisfaction to discern in the Bill, that its framers have had the object in view, to restore to the Aristocracy some of that legitimate influence, which various changes in society had diminished ; and which, if only tortuously supported by the stratagems of corruption, would vanish entirely with the cloud, which had concealed that corruption from the eye. The Aristocracy should recollect that abstractedly, and reasoning on the principles of Government, there is much less of the ratio justifica to be adduced in support of their branch of our tripartite Constitution, than in support of either of the others. They should recollect that might con stituted originally their right ; and that the phy sical might of the few over the many, if injurious to the many, can only exist during a state of war, or so long as the many are ignorant—torpidly quiescent, or assimilating in their nature to sheep. They should recol lect, that such might, or influence, is al n ays very precarious ; and would long ago have vanished in this country, had not moral might or influence, gradually been superseding the physical ; and that the more entirely the moral might or influence predominates, the more secure will the Aris tocracy be of their separate privileges. These premises being admitted, is it not evident that the present measure of reform, by abstracting the impure and noxious influence, and substituting in its place the oppor tunity of forming a rational and moral influence, is in fact supporting the artistocracy ? The aristocracy of this country have in fact lived averthe period of possible corrupt influence. They possess, de servedly, from various causes, some of which may, perhaps, not unphilosophically be traced to the peculiar cir cumstances of nobility, a considerable share of moral influence over the people of this country ; and if the present Bill be passed, and they cultivate that moral influence, by modifying their acts, according to the welfare of the community of which they form a part, the aristocracy may exist as a separate and privileged portion ; but if they war against the interests of the community, their order will vanish like chaff before the wind. It is the nature of the human mind to be attached to the institutions to which it has been inured ; and it is in the power of our Aristocracy, under the Reform Bill, to place themselves in almost permanent, and more than feudal secu rity. They are the greatest Landowners, and they are the natural chiefs, or leaders of that important interest. It will be seen by an ingenious statement in our first page, of which an intelligent friend has presented us with a lithographic copy, that under the new system, of representation, the greater proportion of Members, in com parison to the old, is given to the counties, or in other words, to the levied interest. Now this is ex. ' t " 1 1 1 actly as we should wish it to ;.t. ; for I% u shall al ways maintain that the landed int..test, including, as its natural adjunct, the entire agricultural population, is that interest, which, if distinctions are to be made among' the component parts of a commonwealth, should be paramount. To these, next in political importance, are the trading and commercial interests ; but subordinate to all, are the unproductive, unsubstantial, mobile, and:ever changing public creditors. The right and property in contracts of the latter class, public justice and faith require to be maintained ; but as a class to govern, we prefer the land ' owners, and will cheerfully give them our obeisance, and the aristocracy as their natural head, so long as they support their situation by moral, and not by corrupt influence. In the House of Lords, another opportunity was afforded last night to Lord GREY to defend and illustrate the Reform Bill, in reply to some observations of Lord FARNHAM, about the value of the Borough Interest as a moderating power.— Lord WYNTORD and the Duke Of BUCKINGHAM expressed their decided opposition, and his Grace called on Ministers to vary their plans; and that when some one pleased him he would condescend to say so, for to some degree of reform he was inclined. Lord GODERICH replied to the Duke, and stated that the purchase and sale of seats became a prac tice only within a century. Lord ALTHORP, in the Comatoxs, gave notice of a de_ sign, on the sth of April, to deliver letters at all places within three miles of the General Post-office at two-pence ; but, from the form of London, we are persuaded that three miles from the General Poet-office and three miles from Gerrard-street ought to be demanded. The committee for inquiring into the salaries and pen sions of public officers made a first report, and it drew some complaints from Mr. GOULBURN, about superannuation and retiring allowances, in which many of his friends are so deeply interested. Mr. BARING explained, that the Committee had come to a determination to enable the Government to grant allow maces as pensions ; but to subject the grant afterwards to the approbation of the House. The power of the Crown to give pensions should remain, but that in the consent to the pay ment of these pensions, the House of Commons, as in all , money matters, should be at liberty to determine on the propriety of the grant. The sanction and approbation of that House with respect to payments of public money, was, indeed, justified on every principle, which governed in the application of the money of the people to public purposes in any other cases ; and the Committee being of that opinion, recommended the adoption of that course. Sir H. HARDINGE, Sir GEORGE MURRAY, Sir C. WETHERELL, and Lord STORMONT disapproved of the recommendations of the Committee; and Mr. GORDON and Mr. HODHOUSE defended the Committee. It is of course a vital question to the pension-seekers! Lord PALMERSTON presented a Petition of the Anti reform party, in the University of Cambridge. It merely recommended caution in the giving votes to all £lO house holders, and was an opposition in project but so drawn as to ensnare signatures though it had obtained very few. It furnished a topic, however, for prolonged declamation on the parts of Mr. BANEES, Mr. GOULBURN, Sir C. WETH ERELL, Mr. ATTWOOD, &C. Lord JOHN RUSSELL re plied, and stated that the petition assented to the whole plan, except on one point. During this desultory discussion, Lord A LTHORP said, he had heard that he had been alluded to last night in no measured terms, was glad to declare he had voted as the hon. baronet had stated, and that the reasons for which he had opposed the Committee were, that he did not conceive the inquiry could have produced any alleviation of the dis tress, and that the arguments of all those who supported it were founded upon the alteration in the currency, the re opening of which question, he considered, would have had the effect of aggravating rather than diminishing the distress. Mr. HUDIION GURNEY doubted whether the Crown had the right to suspend writs to boroughs, as asserted by the Attorney General, and as restrained by the Union laws. He however, advised that the Universities might be represented by clergymen. The ATTORNEY GENERAL thought the crown had the power, but that the present times did not justify its exercise. This led to a debate. Mr. FITZGERA LD said such a question ought not to be doubtful. Mr. GURNEY said the power had not been exercised since the reign of RICHARD 11. Mr. C. WYNNE said James I. had claimed the right— the House had resolved against it—writs were sent to places omitted, and the practice had continued. Mr. FITZGERALD said that any doubt was a fatal stab to the independence of Parliament. Sir C. WETHERELL understood the ATTORN ET GENERAL merely to say, that in bad times such things bad been done, but it was a great and grave question, not to be discussed as a postscript to the Cambridge petition. Lord PALmnastnn, in answer to some enquiries of Mr. G. PRICE, stated that the thirty-four Spanish refugees, who had assailed the Spanish lines before Gibraltar, had, in respect to our relations with Spain, been disarmed on their retreating to the British works, and afterwards sent from Gibraltar. Lord A LTHORP proposed that £50,000 should be placed at the disposal of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, to be lent on security, to aid local improvements. Mr. Wvaz ex plained the disorganized state of Ireland—engaged in ser vile wars and agrarian insurrection. Mr. SADLER considered the sum proposed as altogether inadequate, and stated that there were one hundred and fifty thousand in one dis trict in a state of starvation. Mr. ATTWOOD agreed with Mr. SADLER, and described the sum as paltry, and calcu lated to create severe disappointment. Mr. LEADER and others agreed as to the utter inadequacy of the sum; but no amendment being proposed, it was agreed to; and the House adjourned at Three o'Clock, till April 12. arr. TWO O'CLOCK. Since the early part of the morning, when Consols were done u low as 761 i for the account, a re-action has taken place, and Consols are at present 76j-77 for the account. g!.'!"7 -1 71 IMPORTANT FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, MARCH 29. This day has been a busy one. In the moruilg, t i„, Moniteur published the prospectus of a loan of NO of rentes, at 5 per cent. At the Chamber of Peers, ti. Duke Decries made the report of the law of election ; the Chamber of Deputies, M. Humann, reported the p it ,. ject of law relative to the extraordinary contribution : 4 i „„ posed certain means, to which the tax and the loan rnt.i. contribute; at last, the President of the Council gave at the Chamber, upon the exterior situation, those explanations which, without discouraging the hopes of peace, showed us on the contrary, that it was founded on the firm resoluti on of avoiding war, by preparing for it. All thes e n , ( ,„ . , sures, some of urgency, others prospective, have f o , their object the providing for the future as wei; as the present. The friends of peace must applaud theti, for they are so many guarantees of its maintenance. M. partisans of war cannot disapprove of them ; for if war be in evitable, as they pretend, they must see with satisfactio n that the government is preparing to face it. This is neitlo peace nor war at any price ; it is peace with honour, or u.o with justice. In delivering this day to our readers the dr contents which we have just mentioned, we have neitho i time nor space necessary to attach any observations. WI , shall endeavour to collect the various impressions which 04-, publications will produce. They attest at least in ti, powers of the state, an activity adequate to event,, and the spirit abroad. They would have order in tho into. rior, they acted with firmness; it is re-established. M the same resolution apply to the affairs from without, ant uncertainty will cease.—Le Temps. The President of the Council has announced for to-moi:•,, at the Chamber of Deputies, the demand of a credit of (a) hundred millions, in order to provide for extraordin. wants, should the safety or the honour of France regal: the Government, to depart from the pacific ways in which ii is its intention to persevere. The Government has spokeo this time, by the organ of M. Perrier, in a language worthy of being listened to by the nation. It appears decided, to cause to be respected in Europe, the principles of justice, which our revolution has recovered with honour. The speech of the President of the Council gives much autho rity to the report which has been spread this day. It i; said that our Government has demanded of the Cabinet of Vienna, categorical explanations on the subject of the entir of the Austrian troops, into the states of the church. It added that a delay is fixed, beyond which, should satisfac tory explanations fail to arrive, the conduct of Austria will be held hostile towards France. It is announced that shortly will be presented, the project of a law to effect the calling to the service of war 280,000 men of the National Guard, conformable to the title Six of the Law 22d of March. These dispositions are sufficiently justified, not only by the events of Italy, but again by the situation of Belgium, of which the independence, guaranteed by France, appears more than ever threatened by the German Confederation—Constitutionnel. Under Charles X. the priests were forced to retract the oaths which they had taken to the civil constitution. Under Louis-Philippe I. the functionaries are forced to retract the adhesion which they have given to the Association, which has for its object the defence of the national independence and the expulsion of Charles X. The ministers of Charles X. ordained the dismissing of the priests who refused to re tract their oath. The ministers of Louis-Philippe I. ordain that there shall be addressed denunciations against the func tionaries who refuse to retract their adhesion to the National Association, in order to have the pleasure of dismissing them.--La Tribune. The persecution which is directed against our journal, spreads even to the provinces: it appears that we are the index in several administrations, as the Constitutionnel was once. Frequent letters intimate to us, that the Directors of the Posta refuse to receive the subscriptions for our journal. On this subject we have addressed a letter to the President of the Council of Posts, to address a circular upon this subject: this letter is still without an answer. To-day we learn that the Directrix of the Posts of Romans (tharne) has refused to receive the money for a subscription, under pre text that she did not know our address. We deliver these facts for the appreciation of the patriots. As to power, let it beware : nothing is more seducing than forbidden fruit, and every persecution is a great day for us, as it produces us twenty additional subscribers. A patriot came to-day into our office, saying, " I come to subscribe to the patriotic association of the Seine ; 1 hesitated because of the distance; but since that it is forbidden by the ministry, I have looked upon the step as a duty."—La Revolution. M NM ITALY. The Austrians entered Bologna on the 20th. The Pro visionary Government and the Italian patriots have always had the project of retiring at the approach of the enemy, so as not to expose an open city to the horrors of war. All those who could carry arms have retired to the Appenines. of which the passage can easily become the seat of a desperate resistance. It appears that the entry of the Austrians had been determined on by the enterprises of the patriots, who, according to a letter from Vienna, attempted on the 9th an attack upon Rome, where they were repulsed. We are assured this evening, that a diplomatic note has been addressed to the Austrian Cabinet, to signify that France will not tolerate a longer sojourn of the Austrians at Bologna.—Journal des Debate. The occupation of Bologna by the Austrians, which the Journal des Debate sought to put in doubt this morn ing, was announced at the Chamber of Deputies by the President of the Council, who made known at the same time, that a new credit of one hundred millions would be de manded to-morrow by the Minister of Finance, still having for its object the maintenance of peace.—Journal du Coui nterce. The following letter, which has been addressed to ua, explains in a satisfactory manner for the friends of Italian liberty, the retreat of the Provisionary Government towards Ancona. Constitutionnel. PARIS, MAacs 26. Sin—Whatever may be the courage and devotion of the defenders of Italian liberty, they could only oppose to the Austrians a useless re. Instance in the plains which separate the Po from Bologna. The lumen project of the Imperial troops was, to debauch by three points—ma of which was Comacchio : it would then have been easy for them, in marching upon Imola, or Forli, to cut off the commun i cat i o n between the seat of government and the provinces. The retreat of the des moment towards Ancona, is the basis of a plan of defence, which gives to determined men, the chances which courage and the love of liberty leave often to struggles, in appearance the most un equal.
