nght bark cf the Vistula, and who concentrated his forces on the Seid :ee road, uneasy at secieg his communications with Bialystok, by the av of Grame, cut off, detached against General Uminski the corps of .1,1.ral Ugroinsw, consisting of the 5,b regiment of infantry, one di. ,Won of grenadiers, one battalion of sippers, two regiments of cavalry, . s tso batteries of artillery, one of large calibre. At sight of so upetior force, Gen. Cmineki thought it advisable to ream the Liwice, leaving rly one detachment to defend the hastily constructed bridge bead,which the enemy attacked vigorously. Gen. Uminaki ordered the Ist Hulans to Lind the river, and attack six of the enemy's squadrons, which were noted en the opposite bank. This order was successfully executed.— Our raval'y repulsed that of the enemy, killed 50 men, made 600 pri ,ag CT , , and captured 200 horses. Observing, however, that the enemy . t;t . re:siring his attacks on the bridge head with continual supplies of ;mph tr.tops. General Umineki gave orders for evacuating the post, and -11,n .Major Chlewski and 50 wounded soldiers were made prisoners by : he Russians. The engagement terminated by a heavy cannonade, and n t this occasion our artillerymen gave proofs of extraordinary courage, l aving only a few field-pieces to oppose to a numerous artillery of large ca libre. Our loss in these affai n has been 20 o ffi cers, 180 sub.officers and ..le. and 200 wounded. On the 2Gth of April, General Uminaki again k Wygrow, where he found 40 of our wounded men, and was :ilabled to estimate the extent of the enemy's loss. The number of his vov ied amounted to 400, among whom were Lieutenant. Colonel rifle of the :tappers, a major, and 4 inferior officers. On the field of ~;t .l e were found several hundred muskets, and in Wygrow a quantity of provisions. All the right bank of the Vistula is cleared of the enemy. The arse : ,ers of Generals Pac and Sierawsky have crossed the river, and are le MI march towards the palatinates of Podiachia and Lublin, where ;her are taking possession of the Russian magazines. General Direr. nicii, who was detaired for some time by the badness of the roads in t h e neighbourhood of Zamose, advanced, In order to deceive the enemy, 3 s:fat as Zwicrzynicc, in the direction of the Vistula, where be gave coders for collecting supplies of provisions at Turobin and Z a new. His design of routing the enemy by a forced march succeeded perfectly, as is *rested by the report of Field.mushal Diebitach him. AI. However, General Dwernicki profited by his halt near Ziunose to provision the fortress more abundantly, to complete its garrison and the aim} corps under his command, by the men taken from the communal cuarti, and the volunteers who thronged from all parts ; and as soon as lie found the roads passable, marched towards the Bug. He routed and some enemy's detachments which were stationed on that river, ah:cli he passed with all his troops. Thus the noise of our cannon re sounded on that spot which had so long been subjected to a foreign yoke. Every where on his much General Dwernicki and his troops were received as deliverers by our countrymen, the Volhyniaus. The last report of Gen. Dwernicki is dated three marches beyond the Bug. (Signed) "SKRZYNECKI. " Head-quarters at Igdrzeiow, April 17." latssox, APRIL 18.—The following Edict was posted up to-day in the most public places in this capital : EDICT. Antonio Germano de Viers, of his Majesty's Council, &c. Intendant- General of the Police of the capital and kingdom, &c. I make known, that information having been received at this Office that some evil-minded persons have reported, in consequence of the onouncement of the departure of M. Cassas, acting as Consul-General :I France, that French subjects will not continue to enjoy In this king. dom the security and hospitality with which they and al l strangers are received in Portugal, so long as they conform to the laws; and it being ft that such reports, though destitute of foundation, should be contra dicted in an authentic manner, I sin authorized to declare-- First, that the said French subjects are not only to enjoy the protec. lion and security which the laws afford them, which will be observed sill the same frankness and good faith as hit herto; but that this office will, if possible, be still more attentive to defend their persons and :operty. lindly, That if ant , enemy of the public tranquillity, or one of the <aid propagators of false reports. should attempt anything against any lurch subject, contrary to the existing laws, prompt assistance shall kundercd him by the office, and by the magistrates under it, who are most positively enjoined faithfully to execute the orders on the subject; and that the above may be known to all, I order the present edict to be published and posted up in the capital, and other parts of the kingdom Lisbon, Aprillo, 1831. An official notice from the department of the Marine and Colonies, rnounces that his Majesty, on the petition of the shareholders of the general company of the royal fisheries of the kingdom of Algarve, has ban pleased to allow the seat of the board of directors to be transferred from the city of Lisbon to Faro.—Lisbon Gazelle, April 24. DRESDEN. AP/IL 21.-Bince the melancholy events of the night of the 18th (the date of the 19th, in the previous account* from Leipaie, was erroneous), public tranquillity has not been again disturbed. Con. siderablo detachments of cavalry have arrived during the last two days; the military and commercial guard occupy the principal posts, an patrol the city in the morning and the night. Great fermentation ttiil exists ; and it is no wonder that various opinions are exprzesed re specting the events of those days. The acts of violence committed by part of the people, are universally disapproved ; but some persons at. irm that the military fired with ball on the 18th, without sufficient pro. rotation, and without previous warning; and that this first incensed the pople, who attacked the new post office, and threw up barricades ;gaitst the troops, and did not give way till after an obstinate resist. ante It will appear, from future investigation, how Air this is true.— SetirAl more members of the Burgher Union were arrested yesterday, with the aid of the military. Treasonable intentions were spoken of, tut o: ly vague resorts are in circulation, which deserve the less confi dence, as many respectable persons are mentioned as implicated.—Nu vcabarg Correspondent. April 20. SPIRIT OF THE JOURNALS. HERALD.—THE ROUTED FACTION —The dilemma in which the l.ding monies of reform are now involved cannot escape the common. ebscnation. A few months have scarce elapsed, since they bad it :•. their power to have satisfied the wishes and the expectations of the country, by such a moderate plan of Parliamentary reform, as the spirit r I the age, us well as the almost unanimous feeling of the disinterested tart of he community, called for; to lead to which, and to crown :heir efforts with success, they had on the throne a monarch newly 'rated, whose first ambition it seemed to be to outrun the reason. role desires of his people. But no; insensible alike to reason 1:4 to justice, as well as to the march of events around them, they openly avowed themselves the enemies of any amend. mem in our Parliamentary system, unblushingly avowing its most no torious defects to be, in their eyes, among its most striking beauties and advantages. Driven from the helm of affairs, for this among other offences. they ha v e been succeeded by men pledged to an opposite line of conduct, and, above all things, pledged to the one great measure of Parliamehtary Reform. Thus ousted, they at first attempt to revive :heir avowed antipathy to reform in any shape: but, no sooner do trey find some reform inevitable, than they hypocritically turn round, oral talk of reform as the very thing they have always wished and : thus cloaking their hatred of the particular tnea sue of Ministers, under a pretended readiness and anxiety to produce, in its stead, ooe:of their own. To say nothing of the down. right falsehood o f t hi s , as opposed to all their previous conduct and l!sertions, let us ask why, if they profess to have a plan of their own, tsty do not produce it ? The country in general, whatever may be the cu e with ministers, are not yLt:weelded to any minute details ; but, on ilk contrary, are open to, and ready to receive, any better plan then the r:c w e before them, were any better presented to their adoption. Why A air Robt. Peel—why is Sir Robt. Inglis—why is Sir R. ilyvyan—so sloe in producing his plan, but for this plain reason—that neither of *mbar any, and that the very mention of their having any is only :cant as a delusion, a throwing of d ust i n t h e eyes of the people, to draw offrid divide t h e i r attention from the sound and practical plan which is before them. Posy.— The New Members.—We rejoice to find that some of the emit-elected Members of Parliament, who have obtained their return the favour of revolutionary clamour, are not likely after all to prove such daermined Revolutionists as their language before the in. iguated electors had fixed them in their seats might have led us to ap reit.:.d. 'fo mention a single instance. Mr. Mills, the new Mem. r Rochester, where clamour for " the Bill, the whole Bill, 44 nothing but the• Bill," combined with the threat of brutal l'elence and remorseless assassination, so openly proclaimed b 1 the organs of 3linisters, had put down all opposition tis Gen:hit:an is no sooner elected than he informs those who have ch:•tn him that " whatever alterations Lord J.

FROM 01111 OWN CORRESPONDENT. WOODSTOCK, MAY 2.—The election for this plate closed to-day in pursuance of Mr. Buckingham's avowed determination to try the question of whether this borough could be opened to the householders as well as freemen, a long argument took place at the Town Hall; when it was decided, that the householder's votes should be tendered and recorded, but without deciding on the legality, leaving that to a committee of the House of Commons. The result was, that the votes actually received, stood as follows : Foe Mr. Buckingham 138 For Lord C. Churchill . 81 For Lord Stormont - 74 But in consequence of the farmers consisting chiefly of householders not freemen, though far superior in intelli gence, wealth, and importance ; while the latter were of freemen only, and most of them on the very verge of pau perism, the votes of a great many of the former were re jected, and the two latter were duly elected. Notwith standing this, the inhabitant householders claiming Mr. Buckingham as their member, determined on chairing him before the other candidates ; and accordingly he left the Guildhall chaired amidst three-fourths of the population of the town, while Lord C. Churchill and Lord Stormont were glad to retreat to their inn, and left the town soon after. Mr. Buckingham, after the chairing, addressed the inhabit ants from the Inn, and the evening was spent with great conviviality, when the popular member was hailed with the acclamations of the whole town. It is his intention to pe tition against the return ; while the inhabitants themselves are determined, to a man, to unite in a petition also, com plaining of the rejection of their votes, and demanding a decision of a committee as to the interpretation of the charter, whether the householders are to vote or not, the words of the Charter being " Tenants, Residents, and Inhabitants," and the word " Freemen" not being to be found in any part of the Charter. Their suc cess is considered beyond all doubt. BERWICK UPON TWEED.—We are happy to have it in onr power to state, that Sir F. Blake, the friend of reform, has met with the unqualified approbation of his constituents. The success he has met with at Berwick is beyond what has ever taken place on any previous canvass in that borough.— Satorday the numbers stood thus : Sir Francis Blake, hart. 299 ; Colonel Beresford„ 296 ; Samuel Swinton, 7. YARMOUTH, MAY 2.—The poll was opened pro forma this morning at ten o'clock, and closed at twelve o'clock, to give all the out-voters an opportunity of recording their votes in favour of the Hon. Colonel Anson and C. E. Kumbold, Esq. 903 each ; for Colville 547 ; and Bliss 541 ; majority 362. The red booth was pulled down on Saturday evening after the books were closed by the oppo ake party, and from the very great excitement which pre vailed in the town it was declined to, rebuild it, and can didates having left for town. Two o'clock—The members are now chairing, attended by most of the inhabitants and out-voters. NORTHUMBERLAND ELECTION—NEWCASTLE-UPON TYNE, MA Y I.—The first blow having been struck so ef fectually in the Metropolis, Southwark, and Dover (as we learn by this day's mail), the nerves of that redoubtable anti-reformer in Northumberland, Matthew Bell, Esq. have, contrary to the expectation of many, given way, and be leaves the field open to Mr. Beaumont and the talented son of the noble Premier, Viscount Howick. Thus, the free holders of that great and opulent county will be classed among the patriot Sons of England, who, in the never-to be-forgotten year 1831, rallied round their Sovereign in de fence of the people's dearest rights and privileges ! Al though the Sabbath Day, the diffusion of the agreeable in telligence above mentioned has created a very powerful sen sation among all classes of the community in this great commercial town. I aw toi—lt is with great satisfaction that I inform you a glorious victory has been gained to-day in this place, at the commencement of our election. Messrs. Morrison and Wawa were so successful, that at the close of the poll they commanded a majority of 124: it is unnecessary to add, they are staunch supporters of the reform question, and their triumph has been so complete, there is a doubt if the opposite party, Messrs. Mackinnon and Fitzroy, will resume the contest to-morrow. The day of nomination of the Devonshire candidates, is fixed for Friday next. On that day there will be an assem bly of the freeholders, such as never before was seen at a county nomination, to pay a tribute of respect to Lord Ebrington and Lord John Russell. Sir Thomas Acland, our retired member, has promised to present himself to the county, to give an account of the manner in which be has discharged the trust reposed in him. Mr. Pendarves and Mr. Peter have been canvassing Cornwall, amidst the general acclamations of the freeholders. Sir R. R. Vyvyan stands forward as a qualified and mis conceived reformer, and Lord Valletort as an avowed op ponent of the bill. The election is fixed for May 10, at Lostwithiel ; and onthe sth a meeting for nomination takes place at Bodmin. The severe treatment which Mr. Sanderson, the Tory candidate, experienced at Harwich, proves that the people do not agree with the junta of electors ; nor will Messrs. Her ries and Dawson walk, as expected, over the course; fcr Messrs. Tower and T. Western have appeared as reformers, and a strong arm has been exerted, to bring the calculators back to their duty. The ex-ministers had, it seems, cajoled the disinterested voters into a belief that the new Parliament would restore them to the power of conferring favours ! Westmoreland, the enthralled, the all-but chartered vassal, the prisoner and victim of the Lowthers—Westmore land, on whose head an everlasting night appealed to have closed in, is said to have caught one glimpseof the luminary which now shines bright over Great Britain. Two friends of reform are likely to contest the representation with the Lonsdale dynasty ; and thus, in part to redeem the 'disgrace entailed on that unfortunate county by her former rejection of the claims of Henri , Brougham— Lancashire and Yorkshire in the north; IVoicester- shire, Shropshire, and Hereford, in the west ; Nerve:ch in the east; in the south of England, Kent, Dovensbir-, Dorset and Sussex ; and Bedford among the inland coma ties, are about to vindicate the national spirit of independ ence, by returning honest advocates for reform. In York shire the public enthusiasm in favour of reform is showing itself in every possible way. The four popular candidates proceed in triumphal processions from town to town, and large subscriptions are making to defray their expenses should there be a contest. Mr. Marshall, the late meml,er, I has subscribed 5,0001., and is ready to double . thut sum if required.-- Times. The writer of this can positively assert that the Bishop of London has been sending his secretary into every hole and corner in Essex, to stimulate the clergy to use their utmost exertions against the reform candidates for the county of Fssex.— Correspondent of the times. Ex lITER.—In this city there is a warm enthusiastic burst of feeling in favour of reform. Mr. Buck by his vote on Gascoyne's amendment last week, has convinced the larger mass of the citizens, that he is not a real reformer, and when he was seen on that division, voting with the Borough fac tion in their intrigue to defeat the bill, and now is found supported almost exclusively by the church, corporate, and tory party, the friends of reform thought it right to offer to the citizens, in the person of Mr. Di vett , of Bystock, a straight-forward constitutional reformer. GENERAL ELECTION. SHAFT/MILT. -- State of the Monday's poll :-- Mr. Knowles, 103 ; Col Maberley, 100 ; Mr. Peorbyn, 100 ; Mr. D. Trent, 98. The independent interest are in high glee : only a very few votes remain unpolled. BRISTOL.—Mr. Hart Davis, after being returned by Bristol to six Parliaments, and greatly contributed by his votes to produce the necessity for reform, has given-way to Air. Protheroe, and the advertisement of his Committee contains the following passage : ‘• in anst.mneing this determination, it is gratifying to know that the cause, for the support of which the committee are usaociAted, and which, in this city, has ever been identified with loyalty to the Crown, and de votion to the Constitution in Church and State, has suffered no injury amongst that large, intelligent, and respectable portion of their fellow citizens, whose station in society, as might naturally be expected, se cured their judgment from the influence of prejudice and pas.i.,n, and rlaced them beyond the reach of that popular frenzy, wh:ch :ma drawn such crowds of deluded individuals within its vortex. On the contrary, their zeal in the support of the sacred irstitutions of their country has only grown more ardent, amidst th! dangers by which they are sur rounded, The defection which tho committee has renson to lament, has been confined chiefly to that el: -• rr the community a hose situation in life, and want of the means and oppurtunities of forming a correct judgment, have rendered them the more open to die artifices of calumny and misrepresentation." StrareteLo—Thereare alleatly 4 candidates for Yorkshire, preparing for a contest ; all acting in concert ; and all avow ing themselves the staunch supporters of Ministers and their Reform Bill—Loral Nlorpeth, Sir J. V. B..Johnstone, Bart. J. C. Ranisden, Eq. and George Strickland, Esq. The 1! , .n. Wm. Duncombe has also addressed the freeholders, but in at.ch a tone as to afford no clue to his intentions. The hen. gentleman is not an enemy to all reform, but to the reform bill of Ministers. lle is a moderate reformer, which 111C41119 that he would grant the least possible reform ; and, if reform can be done without, no reform at all. The Hon. John Wortley, and the Hon. Edwin Lascelles, are also spoken of as candidates : they have not yet addressed the freeholders, and if they have any regard for their for tunes, they will avoid a contest. Mr. Bethell has addressed the freeholders, but is not likely to spend his fortune in a contest. In the event of a contest, it will cost the ministe rial candidates but little to triumph. A vast majority of freeholders will defray their own expenses in implanting them, and others will not be bought by the highest bidder. —Sheffield Mercury. Agreeably to notice, the four candidates for the represen tation of this county, in the second Parliament of William the Fourth, visited this town on Wednesday, and considera ble preparations had been made for their reception. During the forenoon, the rain fell heavily ; about twelve, however, the time of meeting, there was an abatement, and thousands repaired to Paradise-square. While the square was filling, the members arrived at the Tontine, timid the cheering of the multitude, the ringing of the bells, and the occasional firing of cannon. They then proceeded to the arena from whence they were to address the people, headed by a band playing an appropriate tune. As soon as they had arrived, the shouts of the multitude, and the ringing of the bells, evidently showed that their visit was a welcome one to the majority of the people in the town, of which there could not be less than 20,000 assembled, the large open space being literally crammed, together with the entrances of the adjoining streets, and hundreds being obliged to go away without hear ing the voices, or seeing the objects of their visit.—lbid. Lord Newark and Capt. Duncombe again come forward for the hundred of Bassetlaw. Granville H. Vernon, Esq. offers himself as a third man. Mr. Mundy retires from the representation of the county of Derby, and the Hon. George Vernon, son of Lord Ver non, has announced himself a candidate with Lord George Cavendish; the election is fixed for Saturday, the 7th of May ; the election of representatives for the borough of Derby is fixed for Monday next .; the candidates are the late members, H. F. C. Cavendish and E. Strutt, The freeholders of Derby resident in that town and neigh bourhood„ had a meeting yesterday at the house of Mr. Chadwick. Cumazaea w D.—A severe contest is expected for this county, as all the influence of the Lowther family will be brought to bear upon it. Lord Lowther gives up the re presentation of Westmoreland, and stands for Cumberland as the opponent of Sir James Graham. The freeholders of the latter county, however, are on the alert. They have selected as the associate of Sir James Graham, Wm. Ma i mire, Esq. of Thackwood Nook, a zealous reformer, and pos sensed of the requisite talent for business. WIGAN.—On the arrival of the news in Manchester, lof the dissolution of Parliament, Mr. Richard Potter re paired to Wigan : he immediately commenced a canvass, and was very favorably recei ve d. In the evening he issued an address, from which the following is an extract :- 1 “ I call upon the jury burgesses, seriously to consider whether it he wise, prudent, or even safe, to listen to unconstitutional :nfiueoce, and by voting contrary to the interests of their fellow-townsmeo. to return gentlemen who have voted against, or are opposed to, the ram bit bill. The country is in an excited state. and that excitement can only be allayed, ought only to be allayed. by the passing of this great act of justice and restoration, which the King has offered to his loyal sub. jeer-, and which they so gratefully accept. Awful, indeed, wil l be the • reeroisibility of those who have the power, but !cruse, beneficially, to ext m.se h, to tranquilise and satisfy the just expectations of the country." On Monday morning the canvass was renewed with simi lar success, except among some of the jury burgesses, who seem determined to stick to theirexclusive privileges. During the day a deputation came over to invite Mr. Potter to be come a candidate for Preston. The committee were imme diately summoned, and, after some deliberation, expressed their opinion, that Mr. Potter could not be spared from Wigan. There are five candidates for Wigau—John Hod son Kearaley, Esq. one of the late members ; the lion. Mr. Wilbraham, son of Lord Skelmersdale ; R. Thicknesse. Esq. banker ; J. Hardeastle, Eeq. and R. Potter, Esq. PLestoe - rll.—The candidates for the representation 01' the borough of Plymouth, are the former members Sir C. Cockburn, who voted against the Reform Bill, and Sir T. B. Martin, oho voted for it, together with the hon Captain George Elliot, Secretary to the Admiralty, whose preten sions are exceedingly unassuming, and not apparently backed by eny Government influence. Captain Elliot ap pears before i.e as " a steady supporter of the general mea sure of Parliamentary Reft,rm lately proposed by his Majes ty's Ministers. Up to the present time appearances are fa vourable to the new candidate; but the most strenuous exertions on the part of the reformers arc requisite to gain the victory. We deplore with the bulk of the inhabitants, tlia there is even a chance of our being disgraced in the eyes el the country, and we entreat strangers to dissect the list of 200 voters before they decide against the Plymouthians.-- Were the new freemen entitled to vote, Sir Byam and Capt. Elliot would unquestionably be returned. But alas ! the most discordant elements prevail, and Sir G. Cockburn de sires a support which may possibly bring Lint in, in opposition to the declared political bias of those el.° are using every effort to procure his re-election from grateful recollection of services performed, and in redemption of tunny and impoli tic, if not unjustifiable pledges. So far as the elections have yet gone, they afford a rea sonable hope that the feelings of the British nation will be fairly represented in the Parliament which is now in pro gress. Not only has Lord Grimston been beaten out of St. Alban 's ; Lord Ingestrie out of Hertford ; Lord Brecknock I driven from Bath ; Sir John Shelley from Lewes ; and best of all, Mr. Hart Davis from Bristol : but Mr. Mundy is threatened with an almost certain overthrow in Derbyshire ; and all the " wisdom of our ancestors,” personified by Mr. Banks'', is on the point of getting a severe rebuke from their posterity, the living electors of Dorset.
