.1 1 /* ‘ DISSOLUTION - OF PARLIAMENT. TO THE GENTLEMEN, CLERGY, YEOMANRY, AND FREEHOLDERS OF THE COUNTY OF LINCOLN. GENTLEMEN, HAVING received numerous and very pressing appli cations, urging me to cffer myself as a CANDIDATE for tic great Agricultural COUNTY of LINCOLN, it is impossible our me any longer to refuse acceding to the wishes of my Friends; arAl I beg to assure you that every exertion and attention on my Net shall be used for your welfare, and in supporting the Principles of Religious Liberty, as well as in endeavouring to procure a fair, and constitutional Reform in Parliament. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient, humble Servant, CHARLES ANDERSON PELHAM. 17 Arlington-street, April 26, 1831. TO THE FREEHOLDERS OF THE COUNTY OF PEAL BROKE. GENTLEMEN. YOUR late Representative, Sir JOHN OWEN, in defiance of the decided opinions expressed at a most numerous and re spectable Meeting of the Freeholders of the County, has, by his vote, opposed that great measure of Reform, which you have sanctioned with your approbation :he has done worse—in his address he openly advo cates the cause of its opponents, and avows his determined opposition. He complains of insult, because, forsooth, you took the liberty of pro nouncing your own opinion, and he resents, as an indignity, the not in • trusting him with a Petition, the prayer of which he has resolved to de feat. In this great crisis, when if every one does not exert himself to the utmost of his power, the cause itself may, by supineness, and by that alone, be endangered—when the County of Pembroke may be placed in the degrading situation of returning to Parliament a Member whose political opinions are nor only at variance with your own, but who de. Glares the expression of your opinions a personal grievance and !nag pity to himself—l, with great deference, presume .to Offer myself to your choice. In my own qualifications for the high honor, I have no confidence; all I presume to claim, Is a deep conviction of the necessity of the Re form proposed by Government—a zealous attachment to the Condit: - tion--and an unfeigned claire to fulfil your wishes. Highly as I shall prize the honor of being your Representative, I should not have ven tured to solicit your suffrages, if another Candidate, possessing the same principles, had advanced his claims ; and now, should any other Gen tleman connected with the County present himself to your notice, let him but profess his resolutions to vote in accordance with your senti ments, and I will not only withdraw, but render him my cordial assistance. I have the honour to be, .. Your very obedient and faithful servant, A. FULNE GREVILLE. Castle Hall, Milford, April' , 1831. TO THE !GENTLED! EN OF THE SENATE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE. Zawri.zunr, THE King has been advised to exercise his prerogative of dissolving Parliament, and of immediately resorting to the sense of the people in the election of their Representatives. It has been repeatedly avowed by his Majesty's confidential servants, that this measure is adopted for the purpose of ascertaining the sentiments of a New Parliament, not upon the general expediency of some change in the Representation, but upon the merits of a particular measure of Reform to which his Majesty's Government stand committed, and which, in their opinion cannot be altered or modified with advantage In any point of essential im portance. To that measure so proposed I entertain insuperable ob jections, and I have been called upon by a very large numbs/ at the constituent Body of the University of Cambridge professing similar opinions, to offer myself upon the present seessiss es a Candidate for the Representation of the University. Under ordinary circumstances I should not have ventured to aspire to this high distinction, and the illness under which I am at present la. boating, and which may unfortunately preclude me from paying my personal respects to the members of the Senate, would have been sufficient to deter me from seeking so arduous a trust. But the present are not ordinary circumstances ; the consideration of health—the fear of being charged with presumption—are over powered by the deep interest which I feel in the maintenance of thews establishments which are connected with the Univer sity, and by a firm conviction that their security is endangered by that extreme change in our representative system which I have felt It my duty strenuously to oppoze. lam bound, at the same time, to avow that I am not adverse to the consideration of a temperate measure of Reform, which, while it extends the basis of the representation, shallop. cure to respectability, intelligence, and wealth, their just influence; shall give to no part of the United Kingdom an undue preponderance; and shall expose to no hazard those venerable establishments in Church end State, the integrity of which I believe to be essential to the well . being of all classes of the community. The grounds upon which I make this appeal, impale upon me the duce of declaring, that I shall consider my election by the University or the present occasion, as implying only the devolution of a weaponry trust—and that I shall be prepared to relinquish that trust at any tinie, when a candidate may be found better entitled in the general opinion of the members of the Senate, to represent the opinions and promote the welfare of the University. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obdient humble serum, WILLIAM YATES PEEL. Apia 26, lei. UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE ELECTION. MR. PEEL'S COMMITTEE sits DAILY at MOR LEI"s HOTEL, COCKSPURSTREET, where any Com. monications will be gladly received. The Election will commence on TUESDAY, 3d May. The Right Hon. Sir GEORGE ROSE, Chairman. PRIVATE LETTER.-FALMOUTH, APRIL 24.—Arrived this morning, wind light and variable, his Majesty's ketch Vigilant, Lieut. Loney, from Lisbon, with mails and advices up to the 10th instant, on which day she sailed. On the 4th instant a dinner was given on board the English frigate Briton, by the officers of that ship, to the British and French Consuls, also to the commanding officers of the French and English ships of war then lying in the Tagus. The French and English saluted each other at three dif ferent periods of the day, at the time of dinner ; and whilst the French Consul was on board the English frigate, the tri-coloured flag aas hoisted out of compliment to him, which was readily acknowledged by the display of the Ent lish ensign on board of the French brigand corvette. After dinner the commander of the English frigate proposed the health of Louie Philip, King of the French ; after which being drank, to the health of William IV, King of England, was proposed by the French Consul ; and, lastly, that of Maria the Second, Queen of Portugal : on the announce ment of each toast, the greatest degree of enthusiasm and pleasure was manifested by the whole of the company. On the 6th a public notice was affixed at the Exchange in Lis bon, by which the French Consul advised the French sub jects to hold themselves in readiness to embark, in case of Don Miguel's not returning a satisfactory answer, as de manded by the Consul, the time for which answer expires on the llth. Arrest and a dungeon awaits the arrival of every Portuguese from England and France, those countries being viewed with abhorrence and contempt by the Miguel ites, particularly since the fall of the Polignac and 'Wel lington Administrations. The Vigilant sailed again for y Plmouth. LONDON. TUESDAY, APRIL 26. tt During the Impending GENERAL ELECT tow, it will be the anxious endeavour of the Conductors of the STAR to render it a paper worthy of being daily consulted by all Candidates and Electors, in every part of the United Kingdom. With that view they invite Can didates and Committees, in Town and Country, to favour them with the daily state of the Poll ; also with Advertisements and Addresses ; and with any information which they desire to have circulated. General GASCOYNE died this morning of Apoplexy. We have Lisbon Gazettes, rem the 4th to the 9th April this morning, which contain no political news relative to Portugal. We refer to the private letter of our Falmouth Correspondent, for the only matter of interest which seems to have occurred in that abandoned place. In the meantime, we may observe, that the career of the despot is supposed to be fast hastening to a close. German Papers to the 20th April are received this day; but they do not convey intelligence from the seat of war, to so late a date, as that which we have already presented to our readers. We make one or two extracts; but before quoting them—particularly the first passage—we refer our readers to our exclusive intelligence, in a subsequent co lumn, giving the most gratifying news from Poland. We have likewise to add, that other advices received in town this day, state, that Deputies from Lithuania had arrived at Warsaw, offering assistance in the common cause. When the last courier left, a thousand armed Lithunians, well organised and equipped, had entered the capital ; the insur rection in favour of the Poles, increased from day to day, with the greatest rapidity, and extended to Ancient Poland, u far as Smolenski. A report likewise prevailed, that the army of DIEBITSCH was surrounded, and a general deci sive battle was daily expected. In announcing yesterday the defeat of DIEBITSCH, we were aware that there was a note from the Russian head quarters at Ryki, dated on the 6th of April—four days be fore the battle of the 10th—pompously announcing, that o if the fine weather continued, the renowned Marshal was, in the course of a few days, to commence offensive operations ;" but on the 12th instant, a private letter from Warsaw, affords the following account of the " offensive" operations in question :—" We have thrown two bridges over the Vistula, at Gorard and Molin, to cross over, and attack the enemy on several points. Siedlic is occupied by our troops : we have had fighting along the whole of the line, and have taken three thousand prisoners. The pro visional government of Lithuania has published several pro clamations; and all the Russian arsenals are in their power, as well as the treasure. A transport of arms, destined for the army of Diebitsch, has been seized ; and the inhabitants of Kowno, who have risen against the Russian government, had intercepted twelve pieces of cannon, belonging to the perial guard." Irma/NA, APRIL 14.—An Austrian officer, who was sent to the head-quarters of Field-Marshal Diebitsch, returned to this city last night. He left the Field-Marshal at Ryki, near Pulawy ; and saw great preparations making for passing over to the left bank of the Vis tula. According to his account, the Russian army was in the beat con dition, and in no want of provisions, as has been generally affirmed. The lois sustained in the retreat of Generals Geismar and Rosen is stated to be inconsiderable, and not to have caused the slightest de rangement in the plan of the campaign. The opinion prevailing at the Russian head-quarters was that all would be finished, and Warsaw taken within a fortnight ! AUGSBURG, APRIL 18.--Some journals give the following letter dated Warsaw, April 3,—“ Salutes from the captured Russian cannon are now heard from the Palace of the Kings of Poland. This city pre slots an extraordinary seem of animation, the streets are crowded with people, hones, and waggons —carrying provisions and ammunition ea the army; u notwithstanding the Russian magazines that have bon taken,there is a scarcity in the neighbourhood of the scene of combat. Tlis most pleasing circumstances in these victories is, that they have cost is so few men. The French Colonel, Romarino, who commands a Polidi brigade, has greatly distinguished himself. He understands only a l single Polish word, viz. " Naprzod," (forward) ; and in his joy at ow brave soldiers, he eontinually called out to them, " Naprzod braves Polonais." He was promoted to the rank of General in the field of battle. Romarino, in order to get to us, swam across the Vistula._ Some persons took him for the long-expected Est:ammo- The Russian prisoners came in troops, even without escort, to War saw. The whole road from Mona is crowded with them. Every prisoner has all his baggage, and only what is tit:. Emperor's property is taken from him ; his effects and clothes remain his own. It is truly affecting and delightful to see the humanity of the Poles to their prisoners. Very often we have seen, in one droschkay, a Pole and a Russian sitting together—the Pole supporting the severely wounded enemy. The Russians are received here in the kindest manner; and, when they are sick, treated in the hospitals with the same care as our own soldiers. Our women distin plat themselves in the care of the sick; and even ladies of the highest rank take their turn in attending the sick, for 24 hours. That the Rus. shuts did not expect such treatment is evident, from their emotion and their gratitude. The number of cannon taken is considerable, though all could not be brought in, for want of hones. The standards taken are all placed at the foot of the White Polish Eagle, on the balcony of the Senate-house, and the royal bird looks down with pride over these trophies. Heaven itself has manifestly fa voured our enterprise z when our army marched out it was involved in a dense fog, and the victory was gained in the finest vernal weather. Geismar and Rosen hardly escaped being made prisoners ; whole battalions of Russians came over to us; and where our formidable scythe-bearers &hewed themselves, the Russians fell on their knees, and begged for quarter. The people now fetch all kinds of things, as me. modals of the combat, from the celebrated alder wood at Grochow, cape ehdly balls of every calibre, with which the ground is in a manner covered.

WM, 'oblong, famines, lite. left by the Russians, are employed to strengthen the works of Prep. The Russians had all their heavy cannon, 100 In number, in the wood. In order to bring them off they took the horses from all the waggons, carts, at; yoked them to the cannon; and galloped away in such haste, that of many pas, only the fore part reached headinarters. On Good Friday, and the fol. lowing day, consecrated Easter—cakes, hams, eggs, wines, and all sorts of eatables, were sent from the city in 50 waggons, to the army, in honor of the holiday. Vizwmo, Ann. 15.-4 per Cents 701 ; Bank Shares 998. Alignowlsee Zeieusg, April 20. It is evident that no election that ever took place in this country, is likely to be productive of so much public ex citement, as that which is soon to commence. It is evident that public sentiment was never perhaps so unanimous in support of the Government ; and it is likewise evident, that the present state of the representative laws, confers on Government considerable influence at elections. From these almost evident circumstances, it might be supposed, that the result of the election might, with absolute certainty, be pre dicted to prove decisively in favour of Ministers and Reform. But sometimes a conviction of strength is apt to produce a dangerous confidence ; and it has not unoften occurred, that the noblest of causes have been lost from this tendency. It must not escape the notice of the reformers, that the spirit which animates and directs their exertions, is of a more comprehensive, and, therefore, lees intense character, than that which will animate the little band, now combining _their wits and purses, to frustrate the cause of reform. Each individual of them is not animated by a public, but properly an individual spirit. It i 3 not amor patrice, but l'amour propre, that is the groundwork of their seal ; and each private of their ranks, combats with that concentration of their entire facul ties, which, in most cases, only characterizes the General. Those who derive their subsistence—who enjoy the means of unproductive luxury—from established abuses in the con duct of government, are animated by the same instinc tive personal spirit of perseverance, which animates all the creation, in providing for themselves and young. In reality that is the identical spirit which should animate the refor mers ; for his subsistence, and that of his family, depend likewise on the success of theßeform and the consequent legis lative corrections which will proceed from it; but this personal interest in the mode of reform is indirect, and not so clearly seen, as the personal interest of those, who get their daily provisions from the public granary. For these reasons, we cannot too strenuously urge our ibllow•countrymen to be aware of the enemy—to be zealous and vigilant. They cannot too much make the support of the cause during the election' the great business of their lives. They must watch every hole and corner of the state-machine, for there the vermin are prone to lurk ; and one rat left, to gam through a plank, may sink the ship. FOREIGN ir 82CCLUSIVE. TELLIGENCE FOR THE STAR. ITALY. Vex lc F., April 12.—Our governor, from an order ema nating directly from the Austrian Grand Chancellery, and signed by his Serene Highness Prince Metternich, has com mitted to the agents sent for that purpose the unfortunate General Zucchi, who has been transported to the fortress of Gratz, in lower Styria. It is announced that his compani ons in misfortune will quickly depart for their various desti nations. RUSSIA AND POLAND. The German Gazettes confirm this day the last victory of General Szyrinecki, and give the details of which they feel the importance. Another piece of intelligence, not less im portant, is the insurrection of Volhynia, to support that of Lithuania, and which produce the insurrection of all the provinces composing Rilasian Poland. Never was Poland nearer emancipating herself than at present ; never had she more glorious days than those which are promised to her. An afflicting circumstance diminishes the joy which is inspired by these happy events, it is the existence of the cholera-morbus in Volhynia, and Podolia. It is to be feared that this afflicting malady will be propagated in the rest of the Polish provinces, and that the union of the Grand Army favouring its progress, it will extend its ravages towards the west of Europe. A report was current yesterday, and a journal announced this day, that 10,000 Lithuanians entered Warsaw on the 11th of April. This news is altogether improbable. When even the junc tion of the Poles and Lithuanians shall have taken place, it is not probable that the Lithuanians would abandon their country, which has need of their support, to go to Warsaw, which has no need of them. In the natural order of things, it is much more likely that the Polish army should go to carry succour to them. '—Courrier Francais. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.—" Porvidence continues to be with us •, we march from victory to victory. The brave General Ignace Proudzynski, one of our most distin guished officers, has just obtained an important victory. The number of prisoners is so great, that the labours of agricul ture of the spring may be executed by their arms; this will be a new kind of colonization, advantageous to Poland.— Diebitsch is hemmed in on the north side by the army of the Polish Generalissimo; on the south, by General Dwernicki; on the east, by the Bug and the Lithuanian insurrection ; and on the west, by the Vistula, of which the left bank is formidably defended by the mowers, and by the regular army of the Lithuanians, which has passed over to the side of the Poles. The Imperial Russian guard is separated from Die bitsch by the Polish Generalissimo and by General Pac. Field Marshal Diebitsch shows himself very little ; he often says, " Mau proposes, and GOD disposes; " all his fine dreams of marches on the Rhine have vanishd. He throws all the fault upon Nicholas. His officers, on their side, re proach him with having annihilated the glory of the Rus sian empire, raised to so great a pitch for more than a cen tury. We learn from the interior of Russia, that so many victories of the Poles frightens the Russians at St. Peters burgh, whilst it rejoices those at Moscow." The following is the ukase or decree alluded to, extracted from the St. Petersburg/4 Gazette : UKASE TO THE DIRECTING SIERT& " Already at the first breaking out of the insurrection in the king. dom of Poland, expecting that it would not fail to influence weak minds, ready to be misled to disturb by illegal and visonary motives the public tranquillity in the provinces which the Russian empire had recovered from Poland, we, always attentive to the welfare of our faithful sub. jeers in those governments, addressed ourselves to the nobility, as the most considerable class among the inhabitants, and expressed the hope that they would use all their efforts, under the existing circum stances, to prove their fidelity to us and to the country. and a firm seal:for the general good. Our expectations were almost every where realized. The nobility of the Governments of Orodno, Wilma, and Volbynia, hastened to express to us, through the provisional mili tary governors, their unalterable sentiments of devotedness, and im mediately afterwards proved by deeds how ready they were to give their property and their exertions to provide for the manifold and great demands for the supply of the army. The greater, therefore, is the sorrow with which we now learn, that a band of ingrates, not worthy to be called noblemen, di their oaths and lately re newed vows of fidelity, has had ty to disturb the public tranquillity in the circl -a of Teisch, achawel, and Romany, in the go vernment of Wilna. We are firmly rooked to inflict on them the ex mar yishment which deserve, and which we hope will caus , thewveri pun ng to reflect, and they the misled to return to the obligations of their duty and their oath. 1 . We ordain— " 1. All nobles (or Shlachti) taking part in the insurrection, tr d offering an armed resistance to the legitimate authorities, are to be trit by court-martial, according to military law, and the sentence to be tied into execution on being confirmed by the respective commandtts of detachments. " 2. The lauded property of such criminals is to be confiscated, and the revenues to fall to the Treasury of the Invalids. " 3. With respect to all male children of those nobles punished to the crimes specified in the first article, our further pleasure is to t, hereafter taken t the children of those who describe themselves a, ' Weald, without being able to glee satisfactory proofs of their quality, are to be received as military cantonists. " 4. Persons of inferior rank, taken with awns in their havls, to whatever province they may belong, are to be taken as recruits, and 11 be sent into the Siberian battalions of the line. " 6. Their male children are to be taken as military cantonists. " 6. All those convicted of homicide during the course cf the diF. turbances, are also to be judged according to military law. " 7. Persons of low rank, who have been induced to join the Irma. gents by threat., or In obedience to the orden of their landlords, if thq lay down their arms and return to their homes, are to be psrdoned. (Signed) " NICHOLAS." " St. Petenburgh, April 3, 1831. CITY. ONE O'CLOCK. Our Funds continue very steady; Consols, which left cif yesterday at 79k, opened at the same price, with little or nothing doing. In the Foreign Market scarce a bargain doing. The express from Paris is of minor importance; but, it appears, that great fear is entertained at Paris, that the Russians at length will overwhelm the Poles. Certainly, we are on the eve of hearing important events from that qnar ter ; as it appears the Russians are concentrating all their forces, and with fearful numbers, will make a tremendous attack on the brave Poles ; and the cast of the die, whether Poland is to be free or not, will depend on this terrible blow. We trust in Providence, that th4Guardian Angel will con tinue to protect so noble a race. CITY. TWO O'CLOCK. Consols are at present 79, sellers for the account, and 79 to i for money : the business doing is of a trifling descrip tion. Exchequer Bills are at 6 premium; and India Bonds at pat. In the Foreign Market nothing doing. COURT CIRCULAR Yesterday was the birthday of the Duchess of Glocester, when her Royal Highness completed her .55th year. Their Majesties gave s dejeulte at the Palace of St. James's to the members of the Royal Family in honour of the day. The Duke of Glocester was sufficiently recovered from his attack of indisposition to be able to join the Royal party, who were assembled to congratulate the Royal Duchess on the return of her natal day. The Duke, Duchess, and Prince George of Cumberland, the Duke of Sussex, the Landgravine of Hesse Homburg, the Princess Augusta, Prince Leopold, Princess Sophia, Princess Sophia Matilda, and Prince George of Cambridge were also present. The band of the Grenadier Regiment of Foot Guards were in attendance in the ball of the Queen's residence during the time that the royal party were assembled, and performed several instrumental pieces. The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria visited the Duchess of Glocester yesterday at Glocester-house, to congratulate her Royal Highness on the return of her birth day. Her Majesty gave a grand ball in the evening to celebrate the Royal Duchess's birth-day. The Archbishop of Canterbury and Earl Grey bad audi ences yesterday of the King. The Princess Augusta entertained the King and Queen the Landgravine of Hesse Homberg, and the Duke and Duchess of Glocester at dinner, last evening, at her residence in the King's Palace, St. James's. Prince Leopold gave a grand dinner last evening at Marl borough-house, to the Cabinet Ministers and their ladies, the five commissioners froth Belgium, and a select party of the nobility and gentry. The Duchess of Cumberland, accompanied by the Land gravine of Hesse Homberg, took an airing yesterday in an open carriage and four, with outriders. The Mexican Minister, and Monsieur Moreno, Charge d'Affaires from the Government of Buenos Ayres, trans acted business yesterday at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The Chancellor of the Exchequer entertained a select party at dinner, on Saturday, at his residence in Downing street. Among the company were Lord George Cavendish, Lord J. Russell, Lord F. Osborne, Mr. Dennison, Mr. Pelham, Mr. Knight, Mr. Ward, and Mr. Wood. We are happy to have it in our power to communicate do gratifying intelligence, that his MAJESTIC dines in the City on the 10th of May next. POSTPONEMENT T.NEI ILLUMINATION TO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. The public were lam night partially disappointed of the Moninatioas that were expected to take place, as at 4 o'clock a placani was posted at the Mansion-house, stating that the illuminations wan postpaid till Wednesday next, in consequence of the shortness of the mice. Not withstanding this countermand, the principal part of the homes is Fleet.street and the Strand were lighted up, many of them diephylag crowns, stars, and the King's initials, with the word " Reform," orna mented in various ways. The stars lighted with gas were extremely brilliant. At the west-end of the town the preparations were DM to general. The Open-house and the little theatre were most conspicuous. Some few of the houses of the tradesmen of the Royal Family were ornamented with the letters D. G. in commemoration of the birthday of the Duchess of Gloucester. A vast concoune of people were collected and arolling about the streets, in all directions, pardcularly in the Strand, Fleet -street, and the Haymarket, where their notice was principally attracted; and opts eionally the streets and avenues were completely bk died up. Many of the houses in the smaller streets were lighted from the Brat floor to the garrets, with candles in every square of glass, and bad a wry neat ap pearance. In Westminster. bridge-road, Lambeth, the houses on each side the road, from the bridge beyond the Marsh.gate, were all Mimi sated, either with variegated lamps or candles, amongst which Astley's Theatre, and Mesars. Collinges, patent axle-tree makers, appeared conspicuous The whole of Church.street. Bethnal-green, was one blase, not a tin. gle house being without some description of lights. Moat of the thea tres were also Illuminated. Sadier's Wells and he neighbourhood were neatly and (in many instances) brilliantly lighted. In the interior of the theatre the National Anthem was called for, and joined in by the audience with the greatest enthusiasm. WESTMINSTER MEETING, THIS DAY.—At one o'clock this day, a public meeting, numerously attended, of the Inha bitants of Westminster took place in Covent-garden; at which Arthur Mavis was called to the Chair. An Address to his MAJESTY, expressive of gratitude for hie late firm support of his Ministers was moved by BARBER BEAU. MONT, Esq.and carried unanimously. Resolutions in sup port of Reform, were moved by Mr. Hume, of Long acre, and seconded by Mr. Carpue. Sir Francis Burdett and Mr. Hobhouse addressed the meeting, which hiving passed a vote of thanks to the High Bailiff, soon after dispersed. MONUMENT IN HONOUR OP THE Kino.—lt has been determined that a splendid monument should be erected in husour of the King ; and who is there wbo will not sub seribe to it ? The King has done his duty ;—and will not the country do its duty by him ? As our gracious Sovereig n has, by his personal diss o l u ti on an d prorogation of parlia ment, stamped the meas ure o f R e f orm as his own, the man who would not subscribe to a monument in honour of his sympathy with hi s p eo pl e , an d hi s w i s h that they should exercise their just rights and privileges, deserves to be the veriest of the very slaves on whom the boroughngerts ever trod.
