FRONTIERS OF POLAND. From the Statit Aachener Zeitung of Sept. 3. ACG UST 26.—The Warsaw papers contain the following extracts from a report of Gen. Rozychi, f.oni Szydlow, dated the 10th of August, in which 1 1 , ! says—" Yesterday. I sustained an attack of the oneruv for six hours, and the small town of Ilea was burned by the grenades of the enemy. I there fore resolved to quit it. The result of the battle was -.h a t an entire regiment of dragoons of the enemy was dispersed by a troop of Volhynian cavalry, commanded by the brave Coptaiu Rozychi. The en emy's infantry was obliged to retreat, losing in killed and wounded upwards of 200. Amongst the wounded is Major Ginet. We also captured 50 prisoners, amongst whom was a Major of dragoons. Our loss consists of twelve dead and five wounded. Major Rozychi fought hand to hand with Ginet, and conquered him. The detachment which at tacked us was part of Rudiger's corps." In the sitting of the Patriotic Club of Warsaw, held on the 9th of this month, a citizen named letter, son-in-law to Kosciusko, and now with the general staff of the army, read a project for making a free corps, which was neither to give nor take quarter from the enemy : this was adopted. The Russian General Golowin has prohibited,under pin of death, at Kaluszin, the supplying pro visions to Warsaw. The same has been proclaimed at Karzew. Yesterday, at two o'clock, a patrol was sent from Praga, which came in contact with the enemy behind Grochow. The Russians were dispersed, and the Poles forced their way upwards of a mile along the river. Under the walls of Zamosc a battle of importance must have been fought, as the Russians have been seen to convey their wounded in eighty waggons to Hrubichew. The Polish army is in good health. RUSSIA. The letters received from Petersburg this week confirm the great calamity occasioned by the fire on the premises of the celebrated deal-merchant Grornoff, in the interior. The extent of deals de stroyed is now ascertained to be 4.50 in. standard, and four saw-mills, together valued at 430,000 rubles, It is added prices were already advanced in consequence, and expected to be very high. Deals were becoming scarce, and it was almost certain would not shortly be procurable at any rate. The markets in this country will be very much shortened in supply from this accident. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 7. OKE o'Caoca, Tuts DAY.—Thermometer, 64. Ba. romettr, 29-80. Wind S.S.W. Weather, showery. Notwithstanding there has been so ill-timed a display of impatience, and so much forboding and prognosticating, we have the heartfelt satisfaction to communicate to the country, that last night, the Reform Bill arrived at its conclusion, before the Committee of the House of Commons. We cannot say that it has passed into law by this achievement ; but we consider all that is hereafter to happen in regard to it, to be mere matter of form. That branch of the Constitution, whose particular concern it is, has sanctioned all its pro visions ; and though an Act of Parliament, to have the force of law, demands the approval of the three Estates, yet a Bill, regulating the Commons, ought in spirit and reason to be considered with deference by the other House ; and as we presume this will be the case, we conclude that its details being agreed to, no serious obstacle will interfere to prevent its being forthwith passed into law.— Some general objections by a persevering and deeply-interested party, may of course be expected on bringing up the Report, and at the third read ing ; but this will only be a tax on the columns of newspapers, and on the patience of their readers. A new batch of Peers, in which some men will receive distinctions hard enough earned, and some others rise a step in the aristocratic ladder, will, we trust, sufficiently strengthen the Ministry in the House of Peers, to relieve all anxieties of the public about the fate of the Bill in that assembly. WI 'e have no arrivals to-day, to enable us either to confirm or to negative our conclusions of the two last days relative to the state of affairs in Po hnd. We continue of opinion, that the Polish ouse is not lost ; on the contrary, that it ulti mately will appear, that the Russians under PASKLWITSCII have not been able to maintain their advanced position; and therefore, that as to than, the objects of the campaign are frustrated. If this should happily prove to be the fact, weight \Nil' be conferred in the Russian Cabinet on the mediation of France and England, and the inde pendence of Poland be assured. The worst that can happen, will be the recognition of Russian supremacy, under the Constitution of ALEX ANDER; and the lesson which has been given to the Court of Petersburgh by the late insurrection, gill secure to the Poles, for the future, at least the literal advantages of the admirable provisions of tilt Constitution. Non -arrivals also disable us from giving further accounts of the tumults in Russia in the military colonies, a circumstance which will operate so fa lourably to the Poles ; nor of the insurrection in iktzary, on the confines of Poland, to which attach considerable political importance. Of course, both the Petersburg and Austrian Jour nals will, with becoming craft, smother and Failiate these affairs ; and we shall be obliged to infer much from the small number of facts , thich they will allow to transpire. We consider 'he Hungarians as important auxiliaries of the Poles; and it so happens at present, that they are iirot•cted from military execution by terrors of the ' holera, which are greater than those of discipline 4ad courts-martial. ---.-- We are ass ure d, by authority, that now the de tails of the reform bill are passed, other very impor taut measures, for the relief and satisfaction of the country, will be brought forward, either by minis ters, or under their sanction. Among them will be the revision of the Stamp act, for the relief of the press ; an improvement of the debtor and cre ditor law ; and measures calculated to ameliorate the condition of the parish poor. We are not at liberty to mention some other important subjects, which will satisfy the public, that the present Go vernment is truly the friend of reform, in its most operative sense. In the House of Lords, the Royal assent was given to the Duchess of Kent's Annuity Bill, and several other bills. The Bishops of London, and Bath and Wells, presented some petitions against the Beer Bill. Lord Melbourne thought that the hours for public houses and beer houses might be left to the ma gistrates. The Duke of Wellington thought the magistrates could only control the public houses ; and Lord Tenterden agreed in that opinion. A very important and interesting petition, which we have given at length, was then presented by the Duke of Sussex, in a speech distinguished for its liberality, benevolence, and sound intelligence.— Among other important facts, he stated that in 1829, 1385 persons were committed for capital offences; and in all Franco only 89. The Lord Chancellor in a luminous view of the subject concurred with the prayer of the petition. Lord Tenterden quoted the few that suffered ; and the Duke of Wel lington urged a more effective police. In the House of Commons, on the presentation of a clerical petition against the beer bill, Mr. Benett, a practical man, extolled the beer shops as a great convenience to the poor. Mr. James presented a petition in favour of the Rev. R. Taylor, from inhabitants of London. Mr. Hunt presented a petition in regard to the New London bridge, which it appeared had settled ;on the Southwark side, no less than eight and a-half inches. Aldermen Wood, Thomson, and Venables stated there was no ground for alarm. Mr. Hume enquired the intentions of Govern ment relative to the Bishopric of Derry; and Lord Althorp stated, that the subject was under the con sideration of Government. Alderman Thomson moved for the abatement of the fee paid for vessels under quarantine, which led to a dis cussion, and a division, twenty for, and sixty four against the motion. A Committee on the motion of Colonel Sibthorpe was then appointed for the prevention of accidents by steam-boats. Mr. Hunt made his very seasonable and proper motion relative to the release of Crewn debtors, which Mr. Hume seconded with great spirit. Lord Althorp objected on the ground that it dictated to the King, and it appeared to be felt that something would be done for the relief of these hopeless persons. Mr. Hunt then, with equal propriety, moved for the advance of a sum of money, to relieve all per sons confined for small debts, which motion Sir Charles Forbes seconded. Lord Althorp thought it was a subject for private charity ; after which Mr. Hume spoke against imprisonment for debt, which Sir E. Sugden approved. Mr. Hunt's mo tion was then negatived. The Committee on the Reform Bill, which pro ceeded rapidly from the 45th to the 60th Clause, and even added some others, was distinguished in its proceedings by the notice of a motion from Mr. Wilke, to render Parliaments Triennial, and by very warm cheers on the passing of the 60th Clause. This day the KING held a Levee, and after warda a Council, at St. James's Palace. Despatches were this day received at the Foreign Office from Sir CHAULES BAooT, our Minister at the Hague. ROYAL EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Consols, which left off yesterday at 82 41 for the Account, opened at the same price, and con tinues so at present, with scarce a bargain doing. TWO O'CLOCK. We are quite dull in the city for want of infor mation, and up to the present hour the contents of the express from Paris has not transpired, and we have reason to believe it will not ; it cannot be of much importance, with the exception of the price of French Rentes, or we should have more ex presses than one. Consols have been fluctuating during the morn ing from 82 i down to 82 1 for the Account : a good deal of money stock has come to market, which is the cause of the funds lowering ; at pre sent Consols may be quoted 821.

Charles Monck ton was shot early in August by a soldier of the 88th, at Corfu. Orders have been sent to the Mint to strike a handsome medal, in gold, for every Member of the House of Commons. The Peers have them of course ; but this is, we believe, a new royal compliment. Yesterday, about 4 o'clock in the morning, a man on board the 3Thwrea, 'collier, of Seaton Sluice, nuw dis charging her cargo at the Tower, was suddenly attacked with a dreadful pain In his stomach, accompanied by violent sick nes. Medical assistance was called in, but it was of no avail, and he did at nine o'clock in the most excruciating agony. He was a line athletic man, middle.aged. Two hours after his death his body became so offensive that it was impossible to keep it on board. The doctor properly attributes his death to the cramp in the stomach ; bat some groundless alarm is felt in the neighbourhood, from the no tion becoming prevalent that the deceased had been attacked by the cholera. THE CORONATION. To-morrow is the auspicious day, which, according to ancient usage and custom, unites KtNGWILLIAM the FOURTH with his people. This ceremony, as far as regards the people, was wholly unnecessary ; for they are united to WILLIAM the FOURTH by ties such as, since the days of Alfred, have not united the British people to any Sovereign. These are not words of course ; for their legiti mate conclusions from facts, and a summary of these, will render unnecessary any appeals to the imagination or passions of our readers. In the first place, King WI wall has totally changed that overbearing influence of the Tory fac tion, which for nearly a century has lorded it over the people of England ; and in accordance with principles repugnant to civil liberty in which they have, step by step, undermined Magna Cilarta, the Petition of Rights and the Bill of Rights. In the second place, to effect this object, hi has expelled from his councils a knot of arbitrary men, and taken into his confidence a constellation of talent, distinguished for their liberality, into gity, public spirit, and love of .iherty, affording security and satisfaction to all the KING'S intelli gent subjects. In the third place, King WILLIAM'S Govern ment has been distinguished by that spirit of eco nomy which the necessities of his people de manded ; and he has preferred the attainment of their admiration, rather by the benignity of his measures, addressed to the wisdom of his people, than by a display of those ostentatious trappings of Royalty, which are preferred by weaker minds, to catch the applause of the lowest vulgar. In the pure. place, he has afforded all the as surance which time and circumstance have permit ted, of what his people may e:;pect from his future government, by having sanctioned, with all the power and influence of his royal position, that Re form Bill which was so essential to the salvation of the country, its constitution, and all its true interests. His people never can forget his manful dissolution of the late Parliament, when this great saving measure—this charter, serving as the im movable basis of liherty to countless generations, was considered by him to le endangered by the daring manoeuvres of a desperate faction. In the fifth place, in his policy—in his coun cils and in various pre-announcements—we have the undoubted assurance, that in the maturity of circumstances, his people will attain a variety of ameliorations demanded by their wants and their intelligence ; they may thus calculate on being relieved from the grinding oppressions of abuses of Law, and the chicanery of lawyers; on a reconcilement of all I that is due to the Church, with the interests of agriculture ; on the union of the welfare of our Co lonies with that of the mother country ; and on suitable attentions being paid to the distresses and necessities of those industrious and virtuous classes, on whose labours depend the wealth of nations, and on whose courage and loyalty rest the glory of Kings, and the security of Empires. In the sixth place, his people enjoy, in WIL LIAM the FOURTH, a KING who sets the example of all the domestic virtues ; who, as a good hus band, fosters all the virtues in his CONSORT; who is a kind father, and an affectionate bro ther ; a liberal master in his household ; and of manners distinguished alike by their amenity and frankness to all his subjects; personal qualities which are guarantees to them of his future con duct, as their Constitutional King. Such being the unsophisticated claims of this lineal descendant from our ancient Saxon Mo narchs, we regard the day of his Coronation as one of the most joyful which can present itself to an enlightened people ; and it ought to be distin guished, not merely by ostentatious displays of external illuminations, to serve as advertisements for vanity, but by the pardonable ostentation of doing good, by which others benefit. We are therefore gratified in being able to lay before the public accounts of such extensive pre parations through the kingdom, in which the peo ple at large will be permitted to enjoy personal ad vantages. We lament that we hear so little of similar preparations in the metropolis ; but it is not yet too late ; and we exhort good and loyal men so to do their duty, as that all our starving popula tion may have substantial reason to remember the great day of the Coronation of King WILLIAM. We are sorry on such an occasion to have to lament any thing. We should, however, be hy pocritical, if we forebore to say, that this was a suitable occasion on which to pardon all errors and defaults, in regard to those severe and oppressive fiscal laws, which have been engendered in worse times. We also think, that if the state cannot afford to pay the compromise necessary to emancipate all small debtors, that this ought nevertheless to be done, in compliment to the King's beneficence, by the opulent inhabitants of every town, in which small debtors are uselessly and cruelly incarcerated. We beg leave also to suggest, that this is a suitable occasion for the King's government to proclaim an amnesty to all the unfortunate, or mis guided persons, who were engaged in the rural riots of the autumn and winter of last year ; many of these parties being, to this hour, desperate and reckless fugitives, not from the King's government, but from the inquisition of petty and illibe ral Authorities; while it is to be appre hended, that to the hopeless condition of many of these fugitives, we owe that continuance of incendiary fires, which is at once the terror and disgrace of the country. We have thus done our duty in calling on the loyalty, benevolence, and justice of the country ; and we are persuaded, that we shall never have reason to blush at any sentiment contained in the previous paragraphs, having the most perfect con fidence, that all rational hopes of the country will be realized, during a glorious reign of WILLI A3l the FOURTH ; and we conclude by expressing our fervent prayer, that his reign may be long ; and that such measures as have distinguished its com mencement, may be continued to its end. PHEPARATIONS TOR THE COHONATIO/L—The King went yesterday afternoon in his private carriage to the Royal Mews at Pimlico, and viewed the equipages which will form the royal procession on the day of their Majesties' corona tion. He then, attended by Lord Frederick Fiteclarence, Sir Herbert Taylor, and Sir Henry Wheatley, went to view the preparations at Westminster Abbey. He arrived about six o'clock, and alighted at the temporary building at the west end of the Abbey. The Interior is designed in the style prevalent in the reign of Henry ['Land is hung with the arms properly emblazoned of Edward the Confessor nn the north gable. The royal arms of England on the smaller gables north and south of the centre; and his present Majesty's arms, with all its bearings, &c. over the great central arch. On each spandtel below are bade; composed of the rose to the north—the shamrock and thistle to the south. The central arch leads into a gallery seventy feet long and nineteen feet wide, painted to imitate atone, with a high wainscotting of oak. The ceiling of oak in Gothic panel. ling. High up on the stone walls are hung emblazed shitbla, representing the arms of England, Ireland, Scotland, Ha. nover, Brunswick, Lunenburg, and Saxony. On the spandrels of the inner arch arc Angels bearing labels with these mottos on one side " Doming &ileum Jae regem," and on the other " Deem et lutesmen." On each side of the Gallery are richly-furnished apart. ments for their Majesties and Suite. A broad platform, covered with crimson, leads through the Nave to the Choir. The back of the Alter Screen facing the Nave is painted to represent a rich piece of architecture of Edward the Third's time. The lower portion of this is the stone screen recently erected. The shields on the upper part of this façade represent in the centre Edward the Confessor's Arms, and on each side the royal arms, the city arms, the red cross of St. George, the Saltise of St. Andrew, the Portcullis, and the Union Roses. On each side is a canopied niche, containing statues of Edward the Confessor and Henry the Third, the founder and builder of the Abbey. The interior of the choir is fitted up in most respects as at the last coronation, having, however, additional galleries, giving upwards of a thousand more sittings than formerly. The buildings and architectural decorations are from the designs of Mr. Sydney Smirke, the heraldic paintings by Mr. Willemont, and the other paintings by M. Pads, who executed the Colosseum Panorama. The following names were, last night, said to be included In the List of Promotions and Creations which are to take place at the Coronation : To be Marquesses of the Unite(' Kingdons.—Earl Gros. venor, Earl Bread.''Asti; Earl Cas►ilis. To be Marquess of the Kingdom of Ireland.—Earl O'Neil. To the Dignity of Earls of the United Kingdom.—Via. count Anson, Viscount Duncan. __ To the Dignity of E.irl of the Kingdom of Ireland.— Viscount Northland. CILIAT LOX& Earl of the United Kingdom :—Lord George Cavendish. Barons of the United Kingdom :—Marquis of Headfort, Earl of Meath, Earl of Dunmore, Earl of Ludlow, Lord Belhaven, Lord Cloncuny, Lord Howden, Hon. William Mettle Hon. George Cadogan, Sir Robe r t Lawley, Bart. Colonel Arthur Chichester, Colonel Hughes, and Colonel Berkeley. No carriages will be permitted to pass through the barrier In the Ha market, except those carriages belonging to per sons who have tickets for the Abbey, and after they hare passed this barrier they will not be allowed to quit the line of carriages; and it is particularly desired that all persons who have tickets for the north door of the Abbey, will order their coachmen to move away as expeditiously as possible after setting down. The outages of persons who hays tickets for the west door, are to turn to the left, down the right hand aide of Tothill-street, and enter the Park at the Queen-square gate. It was signified to the public, at the several Theatres last' night, that they would each be opened to the public gas. TOITOUILT to-morrow evening, as being a customary con sideration on the Coronation of a King or Queen, for their' Majesties' Servants to afford as much economic al amuse ment as possible to the public. A notice front the Lord Chamberlain's Office arrived at the Adelphi, yesterday afternoon, stating that his Majesty bad desired the Theatre to be open to-niorrow evening, for the admission of the public gratis. As usual upon such or, melons, a certain number of tickets, or as many as the house is calculated to hold, will be issued at the Box-office. We cannot too strongly caution the public to be on their guard at the Coronation against the depredations of the swell mob of pickpockets and thieves, who intend assembling in large numbers along the line of the royal procession to-mor row ; and it behoves the police to use great vigilance, and prevent, as far as possible, those fellows from working amongst the immense crowd of loyal subjects who will be present to pay homage to their Sovereign on his way to and from Westminster Abbey. Those who intend to be present at the ceremonial to-morrow should take care to leave at home their pocket-books, watches, snuffboxes, silk handkerchiefs, and other miscellaneous arida usually carried about the person. Lord Frederick Fitzclarence is to be created a peer, by the title of Lord Hampton. The Earl and Countess Grosvenor will give a splendid entertainmennaent in Upper Grosvenor-street, to celebrate their Majesties' coronation. In the programme of the procession and ceremonies of the coronation, no mention is made of the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria. We regard this circumstance as a very unhappy and ill-timed discord. We wish the popu lathy of King William to descend, with his kingdom, to the Heir-Apparent. No mere German feelings, pride, or punctilious etiquette will be agreeable to the nation in the present state of its feelings; and any slight towards King William, could nut but be felt as a slight on the nation itself. Various rumours are afloat; but no cause has been assigned hitherto which will be considered by the public as an apology for the omission to attend. It is feared that the Duchess of Kent, on this occasion, has been ill-advised ; for the late liberality of Parliament alone ought to have produced a different result. 'I be new Coronation Anthcm, composed by Mr. Attwood, was rehearsed on Monday morning at the Adelphi Theatre. It is generally considered by those who have beard it as even superior to that which added so much to his reputation at the coronation of George the Fourth. •• Goes save the King," it will be recollected, was then introduced with singularly good effect " Rule Britannia" is nu less happily and appro priately brought into play on the present occasion. There was no truth, it appears, in the report that the Duke of Orleans had arrived in London. for the purpose on being present at the Coronation. The compliment of an extras*. dinaty mission, it is said, was offered, but his Majesty de clined putting the French Culla to that expense. The coronation dress of the Duchess of Sc. Alban's is rich and elegant, and the whole of the embroidery is in real gold. It is sup posed by the Navy that the Order in Council of the 7th July, 1827, found in its retrosfective operation so hard upon a large portion of the order (Captain.), will be either amended or revoked at the Coronation. The doors of the Abbey will be opened at 4 o'clock in the morning. At the same hour all the gates of Hyde park will be opened for carriages. Their Majesties will proceed in stale along Pall-mall, Cockspur-street, Charing-cross, Whitehall, Parliament street, New Palace-yard, to the west ectrance of West minster-abbey. Their Majesties will arrive at the Abbey at 11 o'clock.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. (THIS DAY.) A Court was convened this morning In pursuance of a re quisition to the Loup MAYOR, signed by many of the Livery, to take into consideration the propriety of the Corpo ration of London again expressing its opinion upon the great n;easure of reform now pending in Parliament, also to take into consideration the contents of another requisition, which was to the effect that the propriety of presenting a pe tition to the House of Commons, to introduce a clause into the Reform Bill, to enable the Livery of London to cm, tinue to return two Members of Parliament fur the City of London. Mr. Hurrza brought up a petition from many respect able inhabitants of Finsbury Circus, against the proposed erection of any building there for the purpose of theatrical representations. The petitioners felt satisfird that the erection of a theatre would greatly deteriorate the value of the property in Finsbury Circus. Mr. PELLATT wished to know upon what authority the present Theatre in Milton-street was allowed to remain ? Other Members said they had petitions to present in favour of the erection of a Theatre. Ald. WooD said that as the theatre was in hie ward, he might be expected to say a few words. It was true there were (beaniesl representations, but that some con nivance was resorted to, to aver the penalies which might otherwise be inflicted. Alderman HIYGATE, and other members, spoke against the erection of new theatres. Mr. Taylor ridiculed the idea of bringing any immoral thing into the city. While they allowed the Stock Ex change to remain—they ought to think first of removing that greatest of nuisances. The requisition having been read respecting the Reform- Bill, Mr. PlAusox rose and said, that the question of reform, though often mooted in that Court, yet, that from what had occurred elsewhere, be thought it necessary that the Court should again express its opinion. He deprecated the attempts to obtain reform " bit by bit." He took a review of the history of reform, and said that, very recently, the lower orders had swelled greatly the ranks of the Reformers. He continued to make various observations on the progress of the measure with his usual talent; but the debate was not concluded when our Reporter left. The Duchess of Berri intends to proceed to Leghorn, for the benefit of sea•bathing, and thence taking a trip by sea to Naples. YARMOUTH, SEPT. 6.—Arrived from Stang to Creek, the Maria, Scott, from St. Petersburgh, hemp and tallow ; and the Baltic, Ebbage, from Quebec, with timber : also a foreign vessel, from Holland ; and three vessels, un der quarantine, passed for Stangate Creek. LIVERPOOL ELECTION BILL.—The Members appointed last night, to bring in the bill to prevent bri bery and treating in the election of burgesses to serve in Par. liament for this borough, are Mr. Benett, Sir W. B. Foulkes, Mr. Crampton (Irish Solicitot.General), and 111 r. %Fawn, the gentleman who originally brought the matter under the consideration of the house. DUBLIN CITY ELECTION. The petition against the return of Lord Ingestrie and Mr. Shaw was pre sented last night. It is to be taken into consideration on the 22d inst. The petitioners are Frank Thorp Porter, 51aziere Brady, and others, voters. NI t. Shaw took the oaths and his seat soon after the petition was presented. A Sergeants Guard is appointed to do duty at the Palace of Holyrood. Calm. Co the Insolvent Debtors' Court, Arthur Henry Henn, hatter, against whom damages were given for holding criminal conversation with the wife of T. Winter Spring, the pugilist, was sentenced to 8 months' imprisonment for the damages and costs in the action. The insolvent had made over his property to his attorney, but in concquence of the threats el out by the Court, it was stated yesterday that 881. would he paid into Court fur the general benefit of the creditors, being he amount of the value of the property. It is in contemplation to establish lines of tele graphs between Paris and all the other principal commercial towns of France, for the purpose of transmitting commercial and other private intelligence. According to the prosper. tus, it appears that communications may be conveyed at the rate of from nine to twelve leagues a minute ; and that the expence of sending a diapatch to a distance of 100 leagues would not exceed 15 francs. The first line is to be from Paris to Rouen and Havre. A dividend of 6s 6d in the pound has been de eland under the Commission of Bankruptcy issued against Ale.t•r. Pasheller, late bankers at Huntingdon. It was computed, some years since, that no less than 112,000,000 lb. of butter are annually consumed in London. chiefly made within 40 miles round the city. From the three counties of York. Cambridge. and Suffolk, there are annually sent to the capital 210,0110 firkins, amount!, g to I 1 : 7G0,000 lb.
