MONDAY, APRIL 18. ••• We beg leave to inform our friends in Sheffield, that Mr. CROOKE, Bookseller, Foregate, has obligingly undertaken to receive Orders, Advertisements, and intelligence for the STas, in regard to that Town and Vicinity. Despatches were this day received at the Foreign Office, Downing -street, from Lord GRAN VILLE, Lord PowsosT BY, and Sir CHARLES BAGOT, our Ambassadors at Paris, Brus sels, and the Hague. This day despatches were received at the India Board from his Excellency the Right Hon. Lord WILLIAM BENTIWCK, Governor of India, dated Calcutta, 18th of November. PA Ills Las been much disturbed during the week, by tu mults on fri►•olous subjects, manifesting a spirit which seems to puzzle the Government, which has lost credit by the ac quittal of the persons who were brought to trial, with so' , much form. Tho Minister has, however, announced in both Chambers, that, in consequence of remonstrances at Vienna, the Austrian troops are to be withdrawn from the Pope's territories. LA FAYETTE, LAMARQUE, ODILLOI4 BAR ROT, and DE TRACEY insisted, however, on the grow cru elty of permitting what had been done, and deplored the fate of the Italian patriots, destroyed during the predatory ex cursions of the Austrians ; and of others, threatened by the executioners of the Powers restored by Austrian bayonets. : y. , ,~ We direct the attention of our readers to that part of our' exclusive correspondence, explaining the treachery by which the Italian patriots have been betrayed into the hands of the Austrians. It is impossible that the Government of France can suffer this to pass without due remonstrances on the subject. The honest Belgians are played with, as a cat plays with a mouse. Their patience, which already has been super-human, is now put to a further trial, and the defi nitive arrangement about Luxemburgh is postponed for two months. In the mean time, the KING of Holland has, it is said, declared Maestricht, in the heart of the Belgic territory, an integral part of Holland ! Down to this time, the Belgians have forborne to besiege it in form, owing to illusory negotiations. The Belgic Minister still assures the Congress of the friendly dispositions of France. The Prussian Gazettes, received yesterday, do not bring down the war to a later date than the German papers of Saturday, viz. to the sth. They give us, however, a Rus sian bulletin of the 2d, which speaks of the overthrow of GEISMAR and ROSEN, as an unfavourable, but not important event, and still dares to anticipate the passage of the Vistula. It appears, however, that the Polish army are between them and the Vistula, and in search of them, cutting off all their detachments, and obliging them to fall back on the Wiprez, the Russian head-quarters being at Latorice, and the Polish at Siennica, the late head-quarters of the Russians. In the mean time, UMINSKY has passed over the Narew, taken some of the guards, and advanced even to Ostrolenka, 100 miles from Warsaw; and another Polish corps is operating between the Bug and Narew. Hence SscxES and the guards are completely severed from DIEBITSCII, and the retreat of the latter to the south-east, and the other to the north-east, increases their distance. If either make a stand, there must be a battle of decisive character. Such are the accounts which the press of Prussia allows to pass. We are obliged, too, to receive its reports of the insurrec tion in Lithuania, by which it appears that they are in force in all the chief towns ; and that the guards on march to the Vistula, are on counter-march, to assist in sup pressing the revolt. The Courts of Europe now speak of negociations in fa vour of the Poles; but we hope the Poles will take warning by the fate of the Belgians. Their negociations, if sincere, ought to have preceded the waste of life. They looked on passively, while the Russian armaments were advancing to Warsaw ; but now the Poles have destroyed these, and stand on their own legs, they offer mediation. If it be a mediation to assure the restoration of Poland as it stood in 1772, the Poles ought to listen to it, but to no other; and this result ought to be supported by all the liberal Governments. HAWSUSGH, Aran. 12..—The Prussian State Gazette of yester day contains the following :—" According to the latest intelligence from ftlemel, the Russian garrison of Polangen left that place during the night between the sth and 6th inst. and retreated upon the Prussian territory." From Konigsberg they write that " the defeat of the insurgents near Rossienna is confirmed by later accounts from the Russian frontier. The insurgents suffered severely on the occasion, several being killed on the spot, and a still greater number driven into the Dubin*, and drowned. Their leader, a landholder from the vicinity of Ropolien, was taken prisoner. In the direction of Georgenburg, the frontier is still occupied by the insurgents, so that we are without any positive information as to the extent of the insurrection. In Georgenburg, the insurgents have plundered the houses of several fugitive functionaries." The St. Petersburg Mail of the 90th ult. reached Hamburg this morning, having been brought from Libau to Memel by water. The Papers contain but little matter of int ; but the private letters are curious, in as far as they betray a perfect confidence in the prompt and satisfactory termination of the Polish war. WARSAW, APRIL 7.—Our papers now contain General Skrsynecki's circumstantial report of the victory of Dembe-Wielkie, all the principal points of which are before the public. A part of our army is said to be advancing by forced marches towards Bialystock, in order to attack the Russian Guards encamped there.— Detachments are also said to have been sent northward, from Kaluuyn, to destroy the bridges over the Bug; by which means it is exported the retreat of the Guards, encamped between that river and the Narew, will be cut off. When our troops arrived in Kalusun; last Friday, the Jews of the place, though high prices were offered refused to sell our soldiers any provisions, asserting that the Russi ans bad taken every thing from them : by accident, however, a large stock of eatables was discovered, concealed in one of the houses. Hereupon • general search ensued, anti our brave fellows were soon abundantly supplied. The evening before last, intelligence was received that the Polish troops had taken up positions in the vicinity of Laskanew and Zele chow. The Russian army had retreated on the Wieprx ; their head quarters being at Ryki. Under these circumstances a picked battle is likely to be fought, either to-day or to-morrow, on the plains of hlaciejowice. (It was reported in Berlin, on Sunda y evening, that the expected battle had been fought, and that the result had been decidedly favourable to the Poles). Such is the multiplicity of business which now engages the House of Commons, that no less than twenty-five Orders of the Day stand for this evening, and nine Notices of Motions. Many of the questions, at the same time, deeply affect the interests and liberties of the people ; and demand, severally, as many hours deliberation as are assigned to thirty-four objects. Among these are the Second Readings of the Irish Reform Bill, of the important Frauds of Creditors' Bill, as it is craftily called, of the Common Law Courts' Bill, of the Irish Vestries' Bill, of the Charities Bill, of the Charitable Funds Bill, and of the India Supreme Courts Bill, either of them calculated to employ the whole sitting of the house. Be sides, there are eight Committees to be formed, and one of them on the English Reform bill, likely of itself to employ several evenings, and each of them on objects more or less important. And above all, there are nine notices of motions, and several of them on subjects of funda mental character. The inference from this state ment must be, that there is needed a Committee to direct the business of the House, and to apportion it for different days, as that the subjects may receive the attention due to them. For want of some such arrange ment are Laws and Clauses too often passed, which prove in juriousand oppressive, while they leave so much to the arbi trary interpretation of the Courts, and generate that curse of society, " the glorious uncertainty of the Law." The Slave Emancipation question is espoused by the public with a warmth of feeling honourable to the justice and humanity of a free people. Mr. BUXTON stands for ward as the parliamentary advocate of this and every ques tion opposed to oppression and suffering ; but he has to contend against powerful self-interests. Twenty years' dis cussion has, however, deprived slavery of all its apologists and defenders,and it has now become a mere question of vested property and expediency. When, however, it appears that without cargoes of fresh victims from Africa, the slaves, wbo in 1807 numbered 700,000, do not now number 600,000, and that the mortality from severe labour is, in the Sugar Islands, in a higher ratio, it is plain that the evil will in a century cure itself by the cruel extinction of the unhappy race. Mr. BARING argues, however, that if we destroyed our own sugar plantations by giving freedom to those who will not labour if they can help it, we should be obliged to resort to the sugars of Cuba and Brazil, where slavery exists in its worst, and least modified forms. But, in reply to this specious position, we inform the public, from personal knowledge, that through all the east, sugar is produced in superabundance by the voluntary in dustry of the natives. No sugar is superior to that of Java, and it is the high duties alone, imposed for the protection of the West India slave system, which deprives us of the con sumption of Javanese and other East India sugars. We need, in fact, never resort to sugar produced by slaves, except in consequence of our own fiscal regulations, and this is well known to every man who is acquainted with the produce of India. Nor, in fact need we, except from our own choice and erroneous legislation, go to the Torrid zone at all for sugar. The finest sugar ever seen is produced from beet-root in France and Germany, at little more than three-pence a pound, and every acre of most of our waste lands might be made to produce eight cwt. of sugar. We have, in truth, no reason whatever to send thousands of miles for sugar, while the production of it at home would employ all those families who are geeing to the wilds of Canada and Australasia. We certainly think some indemnity should be granted to the West India pro prietary ; but, with regard to the production of sugar by African slaves, (a race averse to labour, and, like all men, averse to labour in a state of hopeless slavery), we agree with honest men, and wi.h conscientious christians, that the West India system ought forthwith to be put au end to. Let us have East India sugars, or beet-root sugars, or even West India sugars, of the produce of free labour, but we ought to forbear the indulgence, if the Legislature will only permit us to use an article contaminated by the tears and blood of the wretched Negro Slaves. We are happy to observe, that the London subscriptions for the Irish in Mayo, amounts to nearly six thousand pounds. It is impossible that the result of the misgovern ment of Ireland, which bas produced distress to such an extent, as the late accounts from that country describe, can be observed, without calling forth the philanthropic ener gies of Englishmen. It is not perhaps correct, to attri bute to the present, or late Administration, the evils existing in Ireland ; for it has always been a coun try governed more like a conquest, than a portion of the empire. We fear much, that unless some rudimental change takes place in the arrangements of society, both here and in Ireland ; or some mode be discovered of calling the productive energies of the people into action, that famine may not be an impossible contingency in this country, as well as Ireland. It is not the removal of taxation, or re trenchment in expenditure, which will be adequate to cure our deep-seated political derangement. CITY. ONE O'CLOCK. The express this morning from Paris is of some conse quence ; and it confirms what we stated in our City article of last Friday, in a letter from Frankfort, that the Austrian answer had arrived to the French Government, and that the Austrian troops would retire from Italy, the moment the revolution was over. The private letters from Paris this morning are of a more favourable description, than we have received for some time past. They are of a very pacific nature, and assert that no war will take place on the Continent, and it is also expected that negociations are on the tapir to settle the affairs of Poland. The Hamburg!) and Dutch steamer has not as yet ar rived. Consols, which left off on Saturday at 781 for the Ac count, opened at the same price soon after, went up to 78;- 79, and for money 791 to;.—ln the foreign Market little or nothing doing. CITY. TWO O'CLOCK. Some days ago we stated that the French Government had made a proposal to ours to take possession of the Scheldt, while France and Prussia was to take the Belgian fortresses, until the affairs of that country were settled. We are now informed, that in a Cabinet Council recently held, it was determined that our Government should not consent to this proposal ; therefore we do not imagine that the five sail going out with sealed orders are for that desti nation. Consols which were in the early part of the morning at 78 for the account, have since improved to 79} to and for money 79g. We have letters srom Antwerp of the 15th April, which state all was perfectly quiet there; but the erecting of new batteries, and the consequent movement of cannon, mortars, and balls, have rather created some alarm, and several fami lies are leaving the city. The Polish Government have stopped the barges in the rivers laden with wheat, and pay two-thirds in money, and the rest in bonds, for the contents. We have a report that a body of Poles have been cut off by the Russians. Some letters have arrived to-day from St. Petersburgh, although the communication was said to be cut off. Little or nothing doing in the Foreign market at present We do not object in the abstract to any society which is calculated to draw out independent candidates—seeing that other parties have their centre of counteraction ; but such a Society may do harm as well as good. We regret to ob serve among the leaders of one of them several of the anti social Political Economists—while if we had the casting voice, we would prefer even the selfish boroughmonger, who does good at his price, to the cold-blooded economist, who insensible of all the social feelings, reduces men to the despotic sway of the square and rule, and the multiplication table. They would lay us on the bed of Procrustes, and saw us off to its length, or stretch us by the wheel and pi nion, smiling at our cries, for they never laugh, and telling us that it is for the public good ! Philanthropy, pity, cha rity, are with such men crimes, fallacious, and unworthy feelings, never to be exercised if opposed by some of their flippant maxims, and sophistical theories. But abhorring such a school, and more happy in our sensibility, than they in their apathy, we should be sorry to see any of this party in a reformed Parliament, and if half a dozen were chosen in ignorance, we could endure them merely to serve as a foil to common sense. We think, therefore, that as a pre liminary to public confidence, a Parliamentary Candidate Society, ought to exhibit a clear view of its own princi ples, and till it has done so, electors should be ',MOONILY JOALOUI Of its recommendations.

TO THE EDITOR. PARIS, SATURDAY. Unhappily, the Austrians have succeeded in crushing, for the present, the attempt of the Italians to regain then liberty ; and now that they have obtained all that they de sired, are willing to evacuate Italy as they entered it, with out consulting France about the matter. You will see in the Journals now sent you an interesting letter, which de picts the disgraceful treachery, to which General Zucchi and his companions have been the victims. The Notional gives a masterly expose of the proceedings of the Captain of the Austrian brig which captured the unfortunate re fugees. Last night we bad a pretty good sprinkling of illumination —not for another Polish victory, but a.victory nearer home— the acquittal of the seventeen young men, whose trial, for an attempt to organise a republican plot, has occupied the Court of Assizes for some days. These young men have shown great talent during their trial—all of them had fought during the " great days," and it was generally expected that they would have ended their days on the spot where they had courageously fought for liberty. Thank Con, and happy for the peace of France, the contrary is the case; they were yesterday acquitted, and the slight attempts at commo tion, dilated upon by the Moniteur, were attempts to render them homage. The horses were taken from the coaches in which they were, and they were drawn home by the popu lace amidst the cheers of thousands. Laurel crowns, and crowns of flowers were heaped upon them ; and every possible honour conferred upon them. No doubt the public will soon testify their sense in another way.— They were not so chary of the statue of Napoleon, as of the bas reliefs, which again ornament the triumphal arch. The statue, at the Second Restoration, was melted down, and now forms part of the statue of Henry the Fourth. An ordonnance has been issued, for all the sculptors of France to prepare models, to be ready by the let of June ; and the choice will be made of the most wor thy. The inauguration is delayed till January 1832, so that the people of Paris will suffer a severe mortification ; for in the present complicated state of Europe, to look forward to 1832, and what may then be its situation, is completely be wildering. It appears certain, at present, that the French Ministry will be able to accomplish its plan of preserving peace ; though, at the same time it is to be dreaded, that so many armed men, as are now assembled in Europe will scarcely retire without a clash somewhere ; and as Russia appears to be rather on the wane, it would not be surprising if she were to suffer, for the attempt made against the liberty of the Poles. All is tranquil here ; and such decided steps are taken by the Government, that there is little fear of any commotion. The trial of the republicans, however, has not added much to the popularity of the king or his advisers; and their acquittal, is looked upon as a great triumph by the Re publican party, which 15 not so weak as is commonly im agined. I remain, yours, truly, J. L. FRANCE. It is announced that a Royal Sitting will take place on the 20th, to effect the proroguing the Chamber of Depu ties, in order not to isolate the government from the legisla tive power in the interval which will be required until the approaching elections. The closing of a session so long and so important, made by the Sovereign in person, will prove that the dissolution of the Chamber is but the effect of the common course of things ; and this solemn sitting will ter minate worthily the labours of a legislature, of which, later, we shall better appreciate the conduct and fhe principles. We shall soon consecrate an article to the examination of this session, which will have a great influence upon the destinies of the country-"---Le Temps. The slight agitations of these last days announced some project. There are men whom the return of order, of calm, of confidence, causes to despair, that the firm attitude of the Government offends, and who cannot support public peace. These men seek a pretext, and they were generally convinced that the issue of a law-suit, which for some days has occupied the public attention, would furnish, in case of acquittal, as in case of condemnation, the pretext sought. It is sufficient to say how public opinion judged these at tempts, and their causes, and their intentions, and their end. Demonstrations in favour of the persons acquitted were essayed, in the course of the day, and we learn with pleasure that the most part amongst them had the good spirit to conceal it, so much did they appreciate inconvenience. Later assemblies, stirred up by this effervescence, formed upon several points; and, as is generally the case, perturbators always ready to make scandal, and idle persons to make numbers, occasioned a crowd which was quickly diapered by the attitude of the troops, and the indefatigable national guard. The invita tions of the municipal magistrates was sufficient to clear, without being obliged to have recourse to force, the Place du Chatelet, the Pont-au-Chang., Qusi-aux-Fleurs. Some arrests took place. A group of young men withdrew upon the side of the Pantheon, signifying its passage by some clamours, and breaking the lamps. A patrole of the municipal guard, who followed in the rue St. Jaques, dis persed them, amidst the applause of the population. These agitations, without political importance, and which carry rather the character of nocturnal racket than of commotion, offered no other gravity than that of intentions sufficiently be trayed by guilty vociferations. The Tribunals in possession of the individuals arrested, will inform and judge them promptly. It is necessary that the public should know as soon as possible to what they hold ; for it is so much the more unworthy these new attempts, as already every where is springing up, with the hope of the firmness of order, secu rity, which alone can re-animate private affairs. But these attempts add, by their impotence, to the discredit of the pro moters of trouble, and demonstrate that authority and opinion can count upon both to combat them. This salutary alliance will not be disturbed. The spirit of disorder has just made its last effort. An essay the more ; and it will carry the last blow. Authority, foreseeing it, had already taken mea sures this day—it will redouble them to-morrow, with the firm intention of rendering them decidedly efficacious.— Monitettr. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, April Bth (by extraordinary express.)—The 98 insurgents, taken by the Austrian frigate, have arrived at Vienna. His Majesty, as soon as he was informed of it, ordained to proceed immediately to an inquiry to identify the nationality of each of them, and to consign all those who are not Austrian subjects to their respective governments, with the intimation to remit them in the least possible delay . As to the Austrian subjects, the order was given to be in formed upon the causes of their sojourn with foreigners,and upon the authorization they had to that effect, and to proceed afterwards according to the results of that enquiry strictly after the rules of the existing legislation.— Observateo Antrichien. SlR—The successes of the Poles, and the insurrection in Lithuania, are now confirmed by the journals of Prussia. which are always slow in communicating an advantage in favour of the Poles. The Polish Diet are determined not to treat any more with Diebitsch; and we are in hourly ex. pectation of further victories. i l ' ~^
