FOREIGN INTELLIGEIIOE. deprived by the blindness of its ministers of the only ally which remained to it of public opinion. Daily'fresh troops and pieces of artillery are seen passing to the fortresses of Lombardy, which are provisioned as in time of war ; and there is now a levy of 12,400 men in Venetian Lombardy, which number, compared to the conscription made by Na- Foleon in 1812, surpasses it by one man upon 125. All this, too, in the name of peace ! Certainly, ' daily assurances of peace which are vaunted in the French journals appear ridiculous, when we hear of these enormous preparations, for aggression, of Austria. Of all the Austrian troops spread in cen tral Italy, 4,000 men only have entered Mantua, the rest occupying tranquilly Ferrara, Bologna, Ravenna, Faenza, Modena, Parma, and Plaisance. The Holy College has just banished from the Ro man states, all the members of the family of Na poleon, with the exception of the mother of the Emperor, and his uncle, Cardinal Fenh. All the others must be out of the Austrian territory of the Holy Father by next September. Lucien Bona parte, who is a Roman Prince by his domain of Caminsand, by a decree of Pius VII. has been in eluded in this proscription, which is generally at-, tributed to Cardinal Albani. ballad-singer, who, it is said, lost an eye in the seuie ; and the watchmaker would fallen a victim to popular vengeance had he nm barricadoed him self in his house. Stones were thrown into his windows, amidst shouts of " Down with the Carl ist." Several detachments of the municipal and national guards, having come up, succeeded in appeasing the multitude. A Commissary of Po lice afterwards arrived, and having assured the people that the offender should be delivered into the hands of justice, they quietly retired to their homes about 11 o'clock at night. We have received from our correspondent at Cherbourg some details rather interesting upon the ex-Emperor Don Pedro, which we give texually —" Cherbourg, June 10. Don Pedro is full of firmness and resolution; be in no way regrets his crown. Ile is accompanied by his wife Eugene Beauharnais, an amiable woman, and of a charm ing countenance. We are assured that he will soon go to pay a visit to his mother-in-law, and that his intention is to come and live afterwards in • simple and private manner at Paris. I had already heard it said by some officers of marines, that Don Pedro was fullof good-nature and simplicity; I was convinced of it by seeing bim discourse with a pilot of our roads. Such was the sudden inti macy established between them, that the Emperor spoke to him of his private affairs, and told him, amongst other things, that his wife was enceinte. It is said that Dort Pedro has brought with him some millions, and some diamonds of great value. The Jules-Julie, of Havre, has arrived in that port from Rio 1e Janeiro, bringing a report from Rear Admiral Grivel, dated March 29th, contain ing an account of the circumstances that preceded the abdication of Don Pedro, and induced him to quit Brazil. The most perfect concord prevailed between the French and English squadrons on the station. Parma and Modena, that Austria is in treaty at this moment with the Pope, in order to cause him to cede the legations to her. There has been so me commotion at Bologna, and in other cities; but it is believed that they were instigated by the Austrians in order that the necessity of their presence may be felt. We are sorry for the folly, to say the least, that has brought an originally good cause to such 311 extremity. We had hoped the best, from the principles and mild character of the o.lean i Family.

We are certain that General Lafayette, upon the' loyalty of whom no person in France can raise the least doubt, announced to an Italian refugee, on the occasion of a patriotic dinner given at Loutier's, on the 17th of April last, " that if the Govern ment had not defended in Italy the principle; of non-intervention, so much proclaimed at the Tri bune, at least ho had hope that the Italian patriots, fallen into the hands of the enemies of the liberty of their country, would not be sacrificed ; because the French Ministry had strongly interested itself in their favour, and that even the King and Queen had written autograph lettere on that subject to the governments of Italy."—The death of Menotti and Borelli, the imminent execution of General Zucchi and of Col. Olini, has brought upon us the follow ing dilemma ; If it is not true that the Ministry and great personages have written in favour of the unfortunate Italian patriots, in that case the con fidence of General Lafayette will have been un• worthily abused ; or the Government of powerful France will have fallen very low under the sceptre of Louis-Philippe, that these representations have had so little success. Some persona pretend to say, that there has been in France, since the 9th of August, two governments—the one which ad dresses official despatches, the other, which speaks in the ear of ambassadors. This last circum stance appears to us scarcely credible. We pre sume that only letters of the greatest submission have been written, and nothing more.

RECEIVED THIS DAY. • i Waasaw, June 6.—The Polish Slate Gaulle contains two reports of General Skryznecki, dated fiom the head quarters at Praga, June 1 and 2. The first gives an account of the reasons (which are already known) why the army fought the battle of o,trolenka, and afterwaids retreated to Praga. The second report is that which gives an account of the defeat of a Ru'sian corps in Lithuania, by General Chlapowski, in conjunction with the patriots. The same paper gives the following particulars, under data of the 2nd : Up the Vistula all is tranquil. In the vicinity of Za mosc the Russians have drawn ncfrer to the corps of General Chryzanow ski Gen. Damoff was on the 30th in Old Zamosc. Iludiger advanced from Dubienka to Sirubiczow, his head quarters were at Hustynne. The corps of Gen. Roth was in the districts of Ploskirow and liamincez ; it is about 7003 strong, but there are only 800 cavalry ; for this reason he Cid not advance against the Lithuanians whose force consists almost entirely of cavalry, and because too the Charkow Regiment of Hulans is partly dispersed, and has partly joined the patriots. The same paper gives, under the bead of the 3d, the fol. lowing particulars. Yesterday the Cracowites of the corps of Gen. Dziekarski, dispersed near Golomb a squadron of dragoons, and two squadrons of Cossacks, on which occasion they took 46 prisoners, with their horses and baggage. A report is spread here to-day, that Col. Sierakowski, in the Government of Augustowo, has dispersed the corps of Gen. Fricken said to be 2,000 strong, and taken four cannon. But we have no official account of this affair. Accounts from Za mosc of 29th May, say that General Rudiger, who has en tered the kingdom with his own corps, and that of General Kreutes, was in all about 9,000 men, and 30 cannon, and that his head quarters are at Werbowice. The battle (bc. tween the Russians and the patriots) at Humas was very sanguinary : the Commander-in-chief of the patriots was the senior Count Wazlaw. Itzewhiski, father Stanilaus, and Leontius Rzewicski, who serve in our artillery, Yin. cent Tyszkiewiez, commanded under him. The com bat was very obstinate; about one thousand two hundred Rus sians fell. (In our %side we particularly regret Alexander Sobanaki who was either killed or taken prisoner.• The landowners of that country have emancipated their peasants, and this made them favourable to the cause of the insurrec tion. The inhabitants of the Ukraine have sent deputies to Bloldavis and Wallachia, and also to the Niekrasorite in Dobruda. According to the latest accounts, the Russians were drawing together reinforcements from different quarters, and corps have been sent from Zytomir and I3erdycaew, so that the patriots have a regular;army of 15,000 men opposed to them." The State Gazette of yesterday says : " The Russian army has began to pass over to the right bank of the Narew. On the 3d inst. a corps of nearly 14,030 men was encamped ir Prasnysz. The !Versate Gazelle of to-day says We have no ac count of the farther operations of our army in Lithuania. Among the reports that require confinnation is one that Gen. hlapowski his had another battle with a Russian corps under General \Ylodek." Polish frontiers, June 7.—rount Divbittch is said to re main in his former position, in order to facilitate the subsis tence of his army . but 14,000 men have advanced to Pres nysz, probably to mark the movements of a strong corps sent in pursuit of General Gielgud. The latter is said to be following the corps :cf 'General Sackcn, which we now hear has taken the road to Kowno. Kalwuy is re ported to be occupied by the Polish troops, united with the patriots. In order to give more unity to the Polish Government, Prince Czartoryski will probably be appointed Regent. The Warsaw eNtrier says, tha' the Cossacks have al• ready advanced from Prasusz to Ciechanow. On the other It end, troops of Cossacks are said to have again appeared about Sledlce. The same Paper says—" There is a report that the Lithuanian insurgents have again had a battle with the Russians, near Wilna." The Polish Gazette says—" We have just received Intel. Lgence that Col. Sierakowski, supported by the insurgents, had, with a very superior force of the enemy, near Ma. riampol, as bloody a battle as that at Ostrolenka, only it was more favourable to us. Our troops are said to have twice made themselves masters of the town, and to have been twice driven out, till on the third attack, they maintained their ground and entirely dispersed the enemy's ccrpa. BL Lt x, JUNE 10.—We learn from Danzig, which has fin,no inhabitants, that up to the sth, at noon, there had liven only 61 Cases of cholera; 30 of the patients had died, ar.d scarcely half of the other 31 were likely to recover.— Prterrian Slate Casale, June 10-11. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. PARIS, Jr:3m 15. Si n —There is still nothing new from the seat of war in Poland. Since I last wrote to you, I was riroured with the rerusal of a private letter from Ikli;an of the 26th May, which speaks of formi dable preparations on the part of Austria, which ha•-- other aim than the restoring legiti ince. It stated that the powers of the their intentions, because they do that they have sufficient strength he hydra of the revolution ; but when completed their immense preparations, ender upon Frt , tsice, which even now • , i , • II i I I It 1 ! • 1 1 -, : • i; . . •,,•••. . 1 .1 i: ~, I , • i • •! , !

One of the most curious incidents that occurred, is that of a captain of the National Guard of Metz, who presented himself after the Mayor had delivered his discourse. The King see ing the Captain advance with a written paper in his hand, and preparing to address him, asked whe ther he was the commandant of the National Guard ? Ile replied, no, Sire ; but I am delegated by the commandant; upon which the King allowed him to speak, and he eommenced as follows : " Al ready more than once, since the Revolution, the National Gcard of Metz, has addressed to your Majesty the expression of its de votion to the throne of the citizen King, and its wishes for the institutions which he will support. You will have soon in our city a new manifestation of our affection. Yes, we carry upon our Bug the motto, " Liberty, Public Order!" To our eyes these two ideas are inseparable•—if order is a con ' dition necessary to liberty, does not experience prove that the most certain means of assuring or der is to satisfy the progressive wants of civilization by liberal and popular laws ? Amongst these laws, the most decisive for the future is that which must organise the second branch of the legislative power." At these words, the King interrupted him, by say ing, " The armed force does not deliberate, you are no longer the organ of the National Guard ; thus I can no longer listen to you." Thus cut short, the Captain marched off in quick time, and you will observe in the journals that the National Guard has decided not to send another address to the King. We had a bit of a row yesterday in the Rue St. Denis, owing to a jeweller repulsing rather vio lently a pamphlet-hawker from the neighbourhood of his shop, who disturbed him by expatiating upon the virtues of Napoleon, and his generosity during the hundred days. A cry was raised that the jeweller was a Carlist. A mob collected soon in that populous neighbourhood ; the jeweller took refuge in his shop, barricaded himself in, but the mob broke hie windows, when he afterwards fired pistols from an upper window and wounded some of them; this exasperated the mob, who but for the speedy arrival of the Guards, would have hanged him on the lamp-rope ; as it was they gutted his house, and burnt the whole of his fur niture; and till 12 o'clock last night the Hussars were in possession of the street, and frequently charged upon the people. You can have no idea of the insubordination of the people here.—Yours, J. L. FRANCE. PARIS, JUNE lb. A Council of Ministers was held yesterday, at one o'clock, at the Ministry of the Interior, and another at eight o'clock in the evening. The officers of the National Guard of Metz, hav ing been called together to deliberate on the inci dent that had occurred the day before at their re ception by the King, decided, by a majority 86 to 43, that there was no occasion to present another address to his Majesty. On Saturday next, the 18th of June, the anni versary of the battle of Waterloo, a funeral service will be celebrated in the church of Notre Dame, in honour of the French soldiers who died gloriously for the cause of national independence. A report is in circulation, and which, if true, would be likely to inflict a serious wound upon the individual honour of the persons who are at the head of public affairs. It is said that Sieur Vidocq is to be sent to La Vendee, and left under the orders of General Bonnet, for a special mission. No one can be ignorant of the nature of a mission intrusted to such a character as Vidocq. M. Casimir Perier has been affected since Sa turday last, with the disease (dysentery) now pre valent in Paris ; but his indisposition is in no way serious. The Medical Commission, appointed by the French Government to study the cholera morbus, left Paris yesterday for Warsaw. We are assured that the Russian and Prussian Ambassadors refused to legalize the passports delivered to them by the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Gazette de France makes an appeal to the electors of the centres, and begs them not to nomi nate Deputies of their own opinion. It would be better, observes the Gazette, to choose them from the candidates of the Republic. This piece of advice would be more ingenuous were it addressed to the Carlist electors. Speaking of the abdication of the Emperor of the Brazils, the Ga zette adds, in an ingenious remark, that this is another instance of " a charter producing itsfruit." The Quotidienne, after enumerating all the be nefits and all the glorious advantages of the Con stitution, draws an almost imaginary sketch of the miseries of our present position, and can only an ticipate three remedies—namely, a foreign inva sion, scaffolds, or cholera morbus. This charitable sheet contemplates an easier resource for itself; but it has the prudence to remain silent on that particular. The Rue du Faubourg St. Denis was filled the entire of yesterday by a crowd, which the reite rated summonses of the police agents and the Mu nicipal Guard were unable completely to disperse. This was occasioned by a watchmaker having furi ously assaulted, the evening before, a boy 16 yowl of age, who had offered for sale, at his shop door, a song called ' Napoleon in the Hundred Days.'— The neighbours were attracted by the cries or the It is stated that the Duke de Reichstadt has been promoted to the rank of Lieut.-Colonel in the re giment of Gulley. We have a letter from Toulon, dated June 7, of the following tenour :—" The following is the most probable destination of the squadron of observation which is shortly to put to sea. Despatches from Count Capo d'lstrias, President of Greece, have announced to the Government that, on the one hand, the old chiefs of the Turks, who reside in Greece, had revolted, and threatened the provinces that have been detached from the Ottoman empire; and that, on the other hand, several vessels belong ing to the Sul:an had appeared in the Grecian seas, and might be destined to support the insurgents. The French Government consequently thinks it necessary to send immmediately five vessels, each with 400 troops on board, as well to observe the movements of the squadron that has come from the Dardanelles, as to reinforce the garrisons of Modon and Navarino, and to act against the rebels. Rear- Admiral Hugon will command this expedition : the squadron will be composed of five ships of the line and frigates, a corvette, and a steam-boat. This is what I have been able to discover on the subject. POLAND. FRONTIERS OF POLAND, JUNE 4.—Marshal Diebitsch's head-quarters were still at Ostrolenka on the Ist. There were between Dlottowen and Lomza neither Polish nor Russian troops. The former had advanced on the 31st as far as Grajewo, and had compelled the people of Togosen, a village on the frontiers, near Lyck, to restore the bridge that had been destroyed. The Colonel of Engi neers, Daine, commands for the Russians at Lomza. Large bodies of Russians and Poles are now in presence in the district of Augustowa, where a battle may be soon expected to take place. JuNE s.—The Commission appointed to stop the progress of the cholera, have decided that certifi cates of health for persons or goods coming from Russia, Poland, and Gallicia, would no longer be considered sufficient to obtain immediate admittance to the Prussian States, and that they shall here after undergo a quarantine of 20 days. Two hundred and fifty Russian ships arrived at Dantzic in one day, laden with provisions for the Russian army. This circumstance, which several mercantile letters announce as certain, may serve to give us a notion of the kind of non-intervention professed by Prussia with respect to the Poles. The Chamber of Nuncios (Deputies) of Poland has decided on the motion of Count Jean Lido chow ski—that the Marshal of the Diet and the President of the Senate shall devise means of sending to Constantinople a Turkish standard, taken by the Russians during the last war, and presented to the Poles by the Emperor Nicholas. It is thought that four Turks, lately made prison ers in an engagement with the Russians, will be commissioned to bear the standard to the Sultan. Jt; a 3. It is said that an extrraodiaary courier, arrived in Warsaw yesterday, with news that Gen. Chlarowski had surprised a• Russian division not far from Bialystock, and, with the assistance of the Lithuanian patriots, took five pieces of cannon, and a number of prisoners- This.intelligence has reached us through a Polish correspondent, who adds, that he cannot vouch for its authenticity. ITALY. PARMA, MAY 13.—The Tribunal of Modena continues its trials —or, to speak more properly, its condemnations : many of the accused, present or absent, have just been condemned to death.— Amongst the fist is, the Countess Testi Rangoni. Will the Duke dare to put it in execution ? We had reason to believe, that, after the execution of Menotti and Borelli, the Duke would allow some repose to his executioner : far from that, he has just sent to seek the executioner of our city, in order to have two at his command. The one here made some resistance : surrounded by soldiers, he would have thrown himself out of the window ; but he was chained, bound, and conducted, by main force, to Modena. He will return, without doubt ; for Maria Louisa, who at first, had announced the intention of granting pardon, appears disposed to follow the example of the Duke. It is Austria who does all this. The arrestations are now here in prodigious numbers, and every day new ones are made. The Tribunal Statarlo is as sembled ; we know not what passes, since all the audiences are secret; but several condemnations to death are already spoken of. The garrison of Reggio has been reinforced by 1,500 Hungarians; many new troops have arrived at Modena. The day of the Fete-Dieu the Duke was surrounded by se veral battalions of Tyrolean.. It is said, however, ghat be narrowly escaped being killed. It is cer tain, ebet in spite of the evacuation of Ancona, many troops are directed upon Romagna. There is 'a "sport generally spread in the Duchies of LONDON. FRIDAY. JUNE 17. The Prussian and Polish papers—extracts from which will be found in a preceding column—bring down our accounts from the seat of Russian inva sion to the 7th June. We have to congratulate our readers on further advantages acquired by the Poles over their ruthless enemy. At Vilna and Mariampol they are reported to have had as bloody conflicts, as that of Ostrolenka ; and which ap pear to have terminated favourably to the cause of Liberty. No one will wonder that the spirited French people display impatience under the erroneous po licy of the successive Ministers of Louis Pit 1- LIPPE, which has compromised the cause of July all over Europe. Riots have succeeeded riots, and prosecutions end law have been resorted to; but in vain. In this. as in all cases, the original wrong must be corrected. Law may silence clamour for the moment, but it will not destroy public discontent, founded on just reasons. Law in this case is like a stricture applied by gun powder, and serves only to increase the violence of the ultimate explosion. No liberal man in Eu rope can justify the conduct of the French Govern ment to the Spanish Refugees, to the Belgians, the Italians, and the Poles. The cause of these nations was the cause of the French Revolution itself, and identified with the good faith and ho nour of France. The abandonment of these foreign interests, and brethren of free France, has been the primary cause of discontent. The revolution of July was not effected to unite France more closely with the Holy Alliance, but utterly and for ever to separate her from so unhallowed a conspiracy against every thing liberal. Nor was this the only offence of the new Govern ment. The retaining of the POLIGNAC Chambers during so many months, and the allowing of those Chambers to adjust the elective franchise, and many fundamental laws, in which they displayed feel ings alien to the principles of popular Government, created general discontent. But the climax of minis terial offence has been the letter of PERIER to the prefects about the elections, and the childish man ner of sending the Court on a general tour through the provinces, at the ere of the elections. After the destruction of the last government for similar interference, it is impossible not to feel astonish ment at the temerity of these new measures of like kind. As might therefore have been anticipated, Paris has been for some days in a state of dangerous excitement—so general, that by the last accounts it was impossible to decide bow it would terminate. The National Guards parade ; bat the continuance of the present government bangs on a thread.— But there has been an original mistake or equi vocation. Louis PitlLlrre seemed to consider his Throne as merely a change of persons, and this idea was perhaps put forward to reconcile other nations, especially at London, where WEL LINGTON was then Minister. But the au thors of the Revolution, and the French people, considered the change as one of principle, in which the clear language of LA FA TETTE, " Republican Institutions were to be engrafted on a Constitutional Monarchy." The Revolution was also considered by all France, and by liberal men of all nations, a, the total undoing of all the unprincipled acts of the Congress of Vienna. With these views the Or• leans Family at first coincided ; and hence F.► v- ETTE and his party were the confidential friends of the King. The people who had been the victims of the Congress,were then at this moment encouraged, and hence the insurrections in Belgium, Poland, and Italy, and the movements in Spain. Some influence however, changed opinions at the Palais Royal : the friends of liberty retired, or were dismissed ; and for many months, ministers, agreeable to the Court party, have given a direction to the Go vernment, utterly at variance with the wishes and principles of the majority of the nation, and of the most popular public men. It is impossible to anticipate the result. The KING, like Don PEDRO, or CHARLES the TENTH, may be deluding himself amidst the vitas of pro vincial mobs, and such delusion may be fatal to his ascendancy ; or he may be wise enough to escape from this mistake, and dismiss his obnoxious Ministers, and to place him self in the hands of men who will be true to all the liberal principles and objects of the revolution of July. This alone will save France, Belgium, Poland, and Italy ; it will at a blow relieve Europe from half a century of conflicts, between popular rights and gloomy despotism. A few days must determine this momentous question—perhaps a few hours. Of course on what results at Paris will also de pend the issue of those bloody conflicts which are pending in Holland and Belgium, of which we yesterday gave some accounts, and add some other interesting details to-day. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL of Ireland has de. livered a speech at the close of the Special Com mission at Ennis, in Clare, which excited in us, on reading it, as well as in his auditors, a succession of intense feelings. Certain parts, in which he alluded to the tenderness with which be had applied the Law, drew from his auditors the same applause which they extort from us ; but what opinion does our and their applause insinuate against the Law itself—and ought such Laws to remain on our Statute Book ? An Attorney-General is a mere Minister of Law, and while his description of the offences committed describe them as aggravated by enormity, yet he, a practiged lawyer, steps in to modify their cruelty : " I have already mentioned that which has been known from the beginning, but for which I take no merit to my self, that our first principle has been to spare human life where we could, and accordingly when the informations were submitted to me and my learned friends, to whose able, anxious, disinterested, and never wearying seal I am deeply indebted, we scanned them over with care, not for the pur pose of seeing, if the crime could be aggravated, but on the contrary, if it could be mitigated or extenuated; we were able, acting on these principles of mercy, to spare the lives of no less than fifty men, by indicting them on the trans portable, and not on the capital charges. In the fourteen cases in which the sentence of death has been recorded, I took upon myself to pursue the same course of mercy ; to adopt a course similar to that which I had observed in all the cases, and in these fourteen! cases I have mentioned, I pledge myself that I did not sleep until I had sent a re commendation of mercy to the Lord Lieutenant."—.(A great burst of applause greeted this announcement.) _ _. For this generous conduct, we give him full credit, and he speaks with similar good feelings of the consequences of carrying the law, even with tenderness, into force. Would to GOD that the Cabinet Council, and the framers of the law, had been present also. "My Lords—There is another tale yet to be told and omit ted in this catalogue. It is of the misery and suffering which we have seen in the last few days (originating in guilt) and the bringing to justice of fathers, husbands, brothers, 90111. I will not, cannot trust myself or my feelings in the recital of the agonies which we have seen, but this I will say. that Doman who witnessedithem, can ever forget them to the last hour of his existence." It was lawyer-like to introduce the parenthesis, and the word justice ; but it is the King's Attor ney-General who speaks, though he speaks also as becomes a man. The bulletin of business done is expressed with the same pathos, and really the elegance of ex pression softens even the anguish with which we consider the whole subject : " My Lords, but eight days have elapsed since the Com mission was opened, and we now can tell what the event has been. The law has triumphed, and the sound thinking part of the community are inspired with a confidence etas peace and tranquillity will follow. My Lords, on review ing the events of the past week, in a summary way, I would first revert to the principle on which these prosecution have been conducted. That principle has been, to Ware human life where we could--nag now let me announ ce what Isas been the result of the proceedings. Two persons have been capitally convicted, and sentenced to death. Fourteen have pleaded guilty to a capital indictment, and sentence of death has been recorded against them—filly have either pleaded guilty to, Or eenvkted for transportable arms; and twentytwo, convicted of misdemeanors, have ban sentenced to bnprienninent. Only throe have been accented. SPAIN AND PORTUGAL Some coolness has lately existed betwen the French and Spanish Cabinets, occasioned, as it is said, by the useless attempts made by the Ambas sador of Spain in Paris to dissuade France from sending forces into the Tagus, and taking decisive measures against Don Miguel. We are assured that an expedition is preparing in Toulon against Don Miguel, and that Rear-Ad miral Hugon is to take the command of it. Two battalions of infantry, and a battery of six pieces of artillery, have been already embarked. A letter from Toulon states that it will be ready to sail on the 17th of June.—Semaphore. The 4th battery of the 4th regiment of artillery, in garrison at Rennes, has been ordered to prepare Ito march—some say for Brest. This has led many to believe that forces were about to be directed against Portugal.
