This morning, at eleven o'clock, another Cabinet Council was held at the official residence of Earl GREY, in Downing street. The Cabinet was attended by the whole of the Members, and continued in deliberation till two o'clock, when the result was notified to the KING, at St. James's. We are enabled to state to our Readers the purport of what passed, yesterday, between his MAJESTY and his Mi. maters, in consequence of what had occurred in the House of Commons, the preceding evening. They advised a dissolution of Parliament, and tendered their resignation as the necessary alternative. His MAJESTY was gra ciously pleased to refuse accepting of their resignation ; and likewise expressed his intention, to defer the disso lution, until the strength of parties, in the House of Commons, should be tried on the more vital clause, enacting the disfranchising of the Rotten Boroughs; as his MAJESTY was pleased to observe, that Lord Join; RUSSELL had stated to the House, some days ago, that should the House be of opinion, that the number of Mem bers ought not to be diminished, his MAJESTY'S Minister@ would not consider that, such a breaking in upon the prin ciples of the Bi 1, as to make it incumbent upon them to abandon it altogether. In accordance, therefore, with His 111 AJEsvy's views, so judiciously expressed, it is un derstood that the Bill will proceed to another stage in the Committee, and the dissolution be determined by its fate. Until we are enabled to announce that the present Parlia ment has been dissolved, the public anxiety on the subject %%bleb now ai.sorbs attention from every other, will not be en tirely tranquillised. That event we conceive certain, not only from the intelligence we have received, but because we place great confidence in his MAJESTY'S sound judgment, and earnest solicitude to insure the prosperity of the nation. The rejection of the Reform Bill we firmly believe to be the toot hazardous revolutionary procedure which could possibly take place ; and we cannot believe that his MAJESTY will sutler himself so far to fall into the chimerical dreams of the antiquated political dotards who lately governed France, as to imagine, that the complicated and perplexing affairs of this country could be conducted, even over the ensuing winter, so as to insure to the governed the object of all Governments—the peaceful security of person and property, without the grand measure of salvation being accomplished, which has now been so unequivocally diroved, by the great mass of the British population. 'the peaceful security, of the people, the Aristocracy, and the King, all bind them firmly to effect the accomplish t of this measure ;—and it is not possible that the iso iated, usurped, and noxious personal interests of a con temptible junta, will be able, in Anno Domini 1831, to pervert to its own sordid objects, and thereby destroy for rt er, the energies of one of the beat informed, and, hitherto, ne of the bravest nations in the world. We conceive, however, his MAJESTY has judged rightly, el deferring the dissolution, as we have above stated, until the flagrant culpability of the opposers of the Reform Bill Shall be rendered more palpable, by their rejection of its store vital parts. General GASCOYISE'S motion was cun uingly worded, to entrap votes without exposing to the hazard of popular opprobrium, and it succeeded ; but the discussion of to-night, may, probably, leave the hideous form ut corruption more naked and unprotected : it will impress stigma—tho F. U. R.—more indelibly and legibly, on the foreheads of its supporters. t was scarcely to be expected that a House of Com m() s could have been formed last night, after sitting till I L in the morning,—yet such are the severe labours of ambition, that at eleven a Cabinet Council was held, and at three the Members of the Commons were re-assembled for business. Doubtless the event of the morning, and its pro bable effects, were the exciting causes. DISSOLUTION was understood to be the immediate consequence; but further meetings are required to complete some necessary business before the House, and to pass a few Bills through their last stage. Mr. BELL introduced a petition against the Bill from the tenantry and dependants of the Duke of NORTHUMBER LAND and the See of Durham. It was signed by ten Peers, the Bishop and Dean, and 700 others. Mr. BEAUMONT exposed, with great spirit, the corrupt means by which signatures had been obtained and often forced, as we have stated in our Panorama, and as has been fully explained in all the papers. Sir H. HARDINGE ascribed the undue means to the Duke's Commissioners, and lauded his Grace, stating that he had merely written a private letter, which imprcperly was made public. It appeared, however, that lists had been made out of those who refused to sign, for his Grace's in- nation. On the presentation of a petition from the corporation of one of the Scotch counties, (Kircudbright) in favonr of the bill, by Mr. C. FERGUSON, it appeared, by statements of Sir G. CLERK, that 19 of these corporate counties had de clared against the bill, but Mr. KENNEDY explained that the whole consisted of only 447 individuals. Mr. Wool), M.P. for Preston, presented a Petition from a Public Meeting at Preston, signed by 2,400 persons, in favour of the Bill; and he quoted numerous letters filled with astonishment at the misrepresentations of his colleague. He bad also a Petition from the Political Union of Man chester, to the same effect, that 600,000 persons in that vicinity were all in favour of the Bill. Mr. FYLER referred to opinions in Spitalfields in fa vour of the Bill, and also of the Operatives at Coventry. Mr. LYTTLETON presented a petition, numerously signed, from Darlston, and another from West Bromwich, utterly denying the statements of Mr. HUNT. But Mr. HUNT as serted, that they had been drawn in London, and sent down for signatures ; and he repeated, that the country was not favourable to the Bill, in which he was cheered by its Opponents. Mr. H. HUGHES stated that the Oxford petition, in favour of Reform, was signed by 2,145 persons, 1,000 of whom he had since seen and found firm and intelligent on the subject—while a counter petition had but 30 supporters, and he did not believe there were 50 freemen in Oxford opposed to the bill. In passing the Ordnance Estimates, Mr. HUME fore bore to make any remark, stating that it was impossible to expect any thing useful from this Parliament, and that be for one, would vote Government all the money they re quired, to enable them to dissolve the HOUSE. It is impossible to describe the mingled sentiments of in- dignation, disappointment, and resentment, which prevailed through London yesterday, among friends of the public welfare, and all wbo have any independant stake in property or industry. None chuckled but the ultra-radicals, who see no relief for the future, or satisfaction for the past, but in a revolution, and its summary tribunals. Of the party of the boroughmongers we know nothing ; for in the public haunts of the community none ars to be traced of a party of only a few hundreds in a population of a million. We announced, we believe exclusively, last night, on the authority of a passage from Le Temps, that another, and more decisive victory had been obtained over the Russians by the brave Poles ; which we find corroborated this morning by the arrival of the Brussels papers. The Journal de Ver viers of the 16th, contains the following important news, with reference to this victory :—" M. Fischbach, of Star celot, who has just arrived post from Francfort, announces as certain, that at the moment of his departure, the house of G. Mumm and Co. of that city, had received an express from Warsaw, bringing the news that the heroic Poles had again attacked the Russians ou the sth April, and had taken 15,000 prisoners, and 42 pieces of cannon. The Russian army is completely routed, and Marshal Di r- BITSCH flying with the remainder of his troops. It is believed that he has been obliged to take the road to wards Wiles, where an insurrection has just broken out. This circumstance may cut off his retreat on that side. Hitherto only imperfect details of the new battle have been received ; consequently the number of the killed is not known, which must be very considerable on the part of the Russians. During the action, the Lithuanians and Volltynians, who served in the Russian army, turned their arms against the Muscovites, and powerfully contributed to the success of the battle." Bsussais, Aram 16—A letter from Antwerp, of April 13, says, " One of the Swiss, who deserted yesterday from the citadel, says, Cl at the night before he came sway, three cannon on the ramparts were found to he spiked. The Dutch are very actively engaged in sur rounding with palisades, the tort opposite our fort of the north, or, their side of the river." On ENT APRIL 15.—We are happy to announce, that no fears are now entertained for the life of M. Voortman. Daus:in.', APRIL 17.—Messrs. blathieu, merchants, Jones, coach builder, and M.' & Picard, editor of the Vrai Patriote, have just brou4ht actions for damages against the city of Brussels, on account of the pillage and destruction of their property. Baussats, APRIL 18.— Letters from Francfort announce that in several states of the German Confederation, the contingents pretend they have nothing to do in the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, and that this accounts for the delay of two months, which the Confederation has prudently resolved upon. The Dukc of Saxe Weitnar, on his side, has put off the time for entering into contracts for provisions. APRIL Jur forces on the extreme frontier, towards Luxem burg, will be very respectable in a few days. We learn for certain, that justice is done to General Blellitiet. He is going to have a corn. rand.—Etstaneipestion. Now that the affairs of Poland, our own preparations, and the dispo sition manifested by the Dutch, seem to have turned the policy of the Congress at London, in a more reasonable course, we are informed, that the Prince of Saxe Coburg may, without inconvenience , swear to our Constitution. The question of Luxemburg was the only point that could hinder it • and this question, it is said, w ill b e d ec ided according to the wishes Of Belgium, by means of pecuniary arrange ment. If the revolution is safe, and the integrity of our territory sworn to by the Prince of Saxe Coburg, we do not see any difficulty to his being elected King of the Belgians.—Courrier. It is affirmed that It is intended to send a deputation of three persons to offer the Crown of Belgium to the Prince of Saxe Coburg: this de putation, it is said, will be composed of Count Felix de klerode, Count 'Clain XII L and the Abb4 de Foere. Lastly, it is affirmed that the deputation has already had several conferences with the Minister for Foreign Affairs.—Be/ye. Yesterday evening, a deputation from our Government set out from Brussels to London, on a sp eci al mission, to obtain information respect. ing the candidate the Pree of Saxe Coburg to the Throne of Bel. glum. This deputation, consisting of five Members of the Congr...ss, who have consented to take the °Mee on themselves, had, before its de parture, a pretty long con'erence with the Minister fur Foreign Affairs. —Courtier. The public proceedings in the trial of Cal. Borremans commenced this morning. —Brussels Papers, Aprilllo. The Prussian Stale Gazette to 14th April, and the Franefo►t Jour nal to 15th April inclusive, have no later news from Poland. THE ARMY.—This day, Lord HILL held a Levee at his office in the Home Guards, which was attended by—General Sir Thomas Hislop, Geu. Slade, Lieut.-General Hawker, Major-Gen. Sir Charles Doyle, Lieut.-General Sir Warren Peacock, Major-Gen. Brooke, Major-Gen. Foster, Lieut.- Gen. Sir Robert Macfarlane, Lieut.-Gen. Bruce, Lieut.- Gen. Sir William Inglis, Lieut.-Gen. Browne, Major-Gen. Grant, Major-Gen. Fraser, Lieut.-Gen. Sir Thomas Dyer, Gen. Taylor, Major-Gen. Sir A. Campbell, and about sixty other Officers. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. We are assured that the Minister of Finances has the in- tentioa of rendering the patriotic subscriptions advantageous. In case they should not attain the amount of the loan, he will grant to the subscribers the privilege of the Royal Bonds at five years, bearing 5 per cent. interest, and which may be converted, at the ch )ice of the holders, to Reams 5 per cent. at par. This privilege will be granted until the expiration of the bonds. This substitution will not be obli gatory for all the subscribers. The minister leaves to each of them the liberty of accepting or withdrawing their offer on the delay of a month.—Messager. Monday all Paris had returned to a state of order. The masses of people that were on the quays, the Place du Chatelet, and some parts of the Boulevards, did not seem actuated by any violent passion, they seemed unconscious of the motives which had collected them. Accordingly they dispersed without much opposition ; at 11 o'clock at night all the streets were quiet. To day at noon the review was brilliant, the people assembled in crowds to witness it, and the citizens of all classes fraternized together, and with the military.—Courier Francais. ITALY. Private intelligence from Italy, which was communicated to us this afternoon, states that the Duke of Modena has just confiscated the property of all the Jews who have taken part in the insurrection of the patriots, and has condemned them besides to pay a fine of 600,000 francs.—lllessager des Chambres. PRUSSIA.—BERLIN, APRIL B.—The decree of the Em peror concerning the dissolution of the Finland regiments, has produced at Berlin a lively sensation. We believe we may infer that traces of rebellion were manifest in these regi ments. We cannot conceive otherwise how the Emperor could dissolve such troops, who are of acknowledged bravery, in a moment when great levies of troops are ordained, and when even those who have but one eys, and the infirm are not exempt from the conscription. We also know the tur bulent character of the Finlanders, and already it has often been rumoured that a revolt had burst out in Finland, because it is well known that the Finlanders support the dominion of Russia with regret.—Courrier des Debats. LU X Ehf BOURO. We have had communicated to us the following tokens, extracted from a letter from Luxemburg, dated April 16 : "We have just escaped a horrible crisis. It appears that, for a long time, some public functionaries had resolved to abandon our cause : they suddenly disappeared on the Ist of April ; but the service, a moment interrupted by the deser tion of these cowards, was almost immediately re-established by the zeal of some young functionaries, full of patriotism. This conduct has raised the courage of the weak, staggered for a moment ; the reception given to the traitors at Luxem burg did the rest. They were covered with mud in the midst of the Prussian garrison, which in vain protected them : no person would lodge them; the authorities had to assign them a lodging in the Hotel of the Gendarmerie, from which they dare not venture. This indignation manifested by the people of Luxembourg under Prussian bayonets, is partaken by all the province. The furniture of the turncoats was broken to pieces in the public place by the women and children of the Communes, which they had abandoned. Things had arrived at this point yesterday evening, when the population assembled here, and chased another functionary, who, it was said, had understanding with Luxemburg. At Eich, 150 Prussians, who bad insulted the Civic Guard, were chased, and pursued into the entrance of the city by the people. All the inha bitants are arming, and the tenth contingent of the Con federation will find here its tomb."—Constitutionnel. PORTUGAL. A letter from Lisbon says, " Some hours after the ex ecution of Bonhomme, a French brig of war appeared at the bar and has entered. This brig has brought to the Ft each Consul instructions which give him the most extensive powers to require the most ample satisfaction, and if the Government should refuse, orders to withdraw immediately with all the French,and to declare war. The Consul °facially communicated to the Viscount Santarem this note, and the list of she reparations required. It is affirmed that they are severe and conformable to the offences given. Eight days are granted to give an answer : meantime all the French are warned to take their measures and to hold themselves in readiness to embark, especially as it is believed that th 3 Miguelites are disposed to be obstinate. This is much de sired, as it would be their death-blow ; but it is feared that they may prove as cowardly as insolent. However, Don Mi guel has begun by saying that he laughed at all the French. " The English Consul has acted in concert with the French Consul, and hss received orders from his government to se cond the Fitter in all his proceedings ; they have dined to gether on board the French britr, as well as the Captain of the English frigate. Toasts, accompanied by salutes front the cannon of the brig, were drank to the Kings of Frarce and England, and to the union of the two nations. In short, we expect the result, and hope that it will be good. It v. as high time that this relief should art ire : the ruin of all the French was decided. We still tremble for Messrs. Sauvinet and lionhomme. It is feared that the Nliguelites, enraged at not being able to send them to Africa, may poison them or assassinate them in prison." SPIRIT OP THE JOURNALS. CH•orl lc LE.—After the vote of Tuesday, ministers had no longer* choice whether or not Parliament should be dissolved. We knew the course they would pursue. We knew that they would nobly redeem their pledges. We have now the satisfaction of being able to announce, that • dissolution has been determined on, and we can confidently assure our readers, that an immediate dissolution may be counted on. Posy.—No event within our recollection has ever affonied more general and unqualified satisfaction to the public than the vote of the House of Commons on Tuesday night upon the subject of the alarm. ing Revolutionary measure introduced by our present hopeful Ministry —a measure which if not met by the wise and spirited opposition it has experienced, would not have failed ultimately to bring destruc tion on our most sacred institutions and ruin upon the country. Its discomfited authors could not conceal their dismay. In their hopeless state they all early assembled in Downing-street, to deliberate on what was best to be done. Resignation of office, without a last desperate struggle, was out of the question with men who avail themselves so extensively of the advantages of official situation ; and it was there. for, determined that they should proceed in a body to &. James's, for the purpose of using their utmost endeavours to per suade the King to consent to a dissolution of the Parliament, as the only means of enabling them to retain for some time longer that mi nisterial power, of the possession of which they have on all occasions proved themselves so utterly unworthy. It is undentood that they so far succeeded in Ike object of their visit, as to induce his Majesty to give a conditional assent to this their last ezpedient, and so far to countenance their forlorn hope, as to agree toefissolt the Pa: home t, itt the event of the failure of the neat despers'e effott to be made bythem this day In the Brute of Commons. Thus, h.r.lcad of supporting their master, do these incemrtent men look to him for tir, , port, and for 11. e purpose ef remaining in office, care not how much his sacred char:wer is abused.—We fearlessly repeat that the fate of the atrocious bill in.ty alr, nay be looked upon as virtually decided. The motion of Gtueral Gascoyne aimed, it is true, at ore principle only of the ineahure ; ht.: it was previously announced by the members of his Majesty's govern : ..!•t in the House of Commons, that the fate of the whole bill rtst the decision of the House in regard to the single point then to:d, r cushion. TIMES..—We now call upon England to unite as one man. crisis is arrived ! It is clear to demonoteation that no Ref. r 7 ,. Bill v :;I be passed by the present House of Comment ! It is an cr,cmy o form. At first we were sorry that a majority should have been ob:sined against ;Ministers upon a point which seemed, though com:ng from tie • friends of boroughmooge rage , to propose an a ddi t i on to the roptlir repreeentation : but it is obvious that this was all trick, and else. It is, therefore, clear, that Parliament means to resist rolirty, and must be dissolved, or there is an end of all hopes of idiom ! The cup is dashed from our parched lips ; and use side of scats in the House of Commons, like bullock-stands in Smithfield : and 11 - se nomi. nation of members to act as our representatives ; an:i t e aggrandte t ment of great families front their Parliamentary itaflUvrlre, at the pence of the people, and in defiance of inodeat nterit--all, all west co. • I tinue, till the state, and Its noblest institutions, sink into one cu . :rt nn ruin. A dissolution only can stay the evil, and &dissolution is now c Illed for and determined on unanimously by ministers. This house is an et.tnty to reform ! It is worse than a rancorous enemy—it is a subtle one. It has shuffled off the question of reform by a stratagem. What, then. are the people of England to do to regain a glimpse of their helot reform, otherwise lost—lost p er h a p s f or ever ? L et t h em rime prepare themselves to petition for a dissolution, unless, indeed, which is most probable, the dissolution shall be immediate. Tne Ktwo, it is retrain, will not hesitate to take this decisive step ; still the people. oil! thry know the dissolution is decided on, should call meetings and comb;ne in resolutions and peti.ions to the Throne for a dissoluti, of PeriLment. lu fuct, we see England in merion at this tnemen , , and every thing that we have hitherto observed of county, and boi and parish meetings, for reform is the stillness of ptivate life u compared to the fervid bustle now excited fur the dissolution of th t House of Commons which has put its veto on reform. " If," we N 4) to cur countrymen, "you have ever grieved over the scandal oi muck representation,—tf you have ever sighed for your just rig its, and a voice in your own House of Parliament,—if you nay: ever met sod resolved, and re.resolvcd, a , d strewed up your courage to the sticking point, that your -veal:hies: noblest towns should have representatives, and the mere nemirlee, of l'eers be banished from the Commons House of Parliament—t h en Garton and St. blawes. and Boroughbridge, and Old Sarum, and se .r.s of other depopulated ruins, should be erased from the list of Peelle. mentary boroughs—.now is the time to follow up the blow, and to call for the immediate dissolution of that body which says, in more than words, that these abominations shall exist in spite of you." If a new Parliament sanctions them, t h en will we become anti-reformers too ! - - HERALD—Though it is quite clear that tle object of the mover and principal supporters of the motion, on which the House divids d yesterday morning, was to defeat the Reform bill, and that its carrying that motion they may imagine their object to have bees attained, yet it by no means follows that such either seed, or will be the case. The only real effect of the motion thud clt. ried is to restore the number of English members to that of *Welt the present House of Coalitions is constituted; which, we believe, is a proposition quite in accordance with the sentiments of many of the wannest and most intelligent of the supporters of the bill. both in and out of Parliament. Instead therefore of taking this decision in dud n, or even lookin. , upon it in the shape of d e fe a t, ministers, we think, may with perfect consistency, readily adopt it; and then the only question is , how the new members, which it provides for, shall be en. grafted on he bill ? Some members of the Government have said that should the motion be carried, the result must be that the addition would be made, by extending the franchise to ot h er large towns. This, though a very fit argument to be held its ter rorcna towards the enemies of the bill, is by no means conclusive ; and we should think that the difficulty may be met in a m.sch simpler way, and the amendment engrafted in both the letter and spirit of the bill, by restoring to the remaining boroughs, in schedule B, the one member each of which it deprives them. CITY. ONE O'CLOCK. There are no arrivals this morning of consequence not even a single ship letter ; but w•e have seen letters from Paris, by the Express this morning, dated 4 o'tlock, stating that the French 3 per Cents. had got up to 59f. 20c. in consequence of a report of the total defeat of the licssiats army by the Poles. Contrary to the expectation of the monied interest_heru. the Freuch loan has not been contracted for, the French Ministers did not approve of the offer of 82-2 sous, they demand 84. A dissolution of Parliament is generally talked of as certain, which no doubt will render his Majesty more popu lar than ever. Consols, which left off yesterday at 791 opened at the r::me price, and went up to 791; at present they are 791 I. In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing. CITY. TWO O'CLOCK. The accounts from Antwerp, of last Tuesday, state that the Belgians were trying to prevent provisions and water being brought into the citadel, where they are erecting new batteries : it was thought there, that the least opposition ou either side would bring on hostilities. Up to the present time we have no positive informaticn in regard to the Polish victory over the Russians, although it comes from various quarters ; it is generally supposed that the main army of the Russians are retreating on their m gazines and reinforcements. Consols continue very steady at 79i for the Account, with little doing. Nothing positive is as yet known in the City in regard to the dissolution of Parliament, in conse quence of which the speculators are afraid to operate. Con sols for Money 79i. The Foreign Market is void of the least interest : nothing doing. An Express has arrived with an account that the French loan has been taken by the same party at 84, the Ministers' price. Yesterday her MAJESTY, with that gracious condescen sion which marks all her actions, paid a long visit to the truly wonderful Gallery of Miss Lixwoon in Lei e.tti square. The ingenious lady happened to be in town, and was therefore able to attend her Royal Visitor, from whom she received all the compliments which are due to her trans cendant merit. Her MAJESTY'S surprise was as great as that of all visitors, to witness so extensive a collection, the work of one pair of hands, and every piece a chef-d'ceu: Sc of art. By letters from Constantinople, of the date of Match 11, state, that the general report of that capital is, that the Sultan is about to found a University.— Journal de Paris. ZOLIECHOW, near which the last Polish Outcry , w%4 gained, is about 50 miles south-east of Warsaw, and nearly the centre of the large Plain enclosed by the Vistula and the Bug. As the enterprizing youth of Europe are flocking to he standards of the Poles, and the greater part of the R sian prisoners gladly enter, their army must boon Le en over match, in ail respects, frr any disposable force of Russia. Their most dangerous enemy DOW is the crafty mediation of Courts, which kept aloof a - hile they appeared to be the easy prey of Russia. Poland must be independent, and have ports on the Baltic and Euxine. We beard It asserted yesterday, and in a cp::.:ter deserv ing of credit, if what was asserted did not appear, from its improbability, to impugn that credit, that a coinage to a cer tain amount had issued front the Miut on Ica and gone to the Continent, bearing the impress of the Due re Bourdeaux. We state this as we receive it ; at the same time deeming it all but impossible, unless the coinage al luded to was intended as counters for the card-table of Charles the Tenth and his party. If there is a dissolution, Sir RICHARD PHILLIPS'S Golden Rules for Electors will be if I request, and they e:e exactly applicable to the times. He advises electors to choose known men, neighbours of worth and sound ptih ciplee, and to reject political adventurers, lawyers, sobs and dependants of noble houses, placetnen, officeis in the navy and army, and men who having been memberc La'.r done no public service, or have opposed the inte.ebt 4 of the people. mesa I , 1 ‘ ' III 1 , I 1 I `1 1 , i 1 ' l' I • 1 i titi 1 . , , 1 1 , ' 1 1, I, _ .
