—But the Noble Earl (Cariarvon) Par.. that he is not bound to the present measure. He (,he Lord Chancellor) perfectly agreed with the Noble Earl's way of thinkin:r. and he argued from it, that neither was he (the Lord Chancellor) booed to wait for him.—(Hear, and a laugh.) In short, he would much rather meet the open, candid, and consistent enemies of all Reform, than seuh reformers as the Noble Earl and others, who use means to effect Reform the most suspicious that Statesmen could employ. (Hear.) The Noble and Learned Lord r.',•eluded t c expressing his strong conviction, that whatever Ministers we-- in 46: "muner or later a measure of Reform must be carried. le , sd F IR NII A M was of opinion, thot the persons who supported the tnini.terial measure of Reform in Ireland, were those who had alw.tya been most anxious for a repeal of :he legislative union between Letli countries. The Duke of P ICHMOND denied that there had been any haste anifested by his Majesty's ministers in bringing forward the Reform ques , ion ; it would be seen that it was not to be committed until after Easte-, thereby affording ample time for its consideration. When it e t ue into their Lordships House, he should be prepared to give it his ready and entire support. After a few words from Lord MONSON, their Lordships adjourned at Seven o'Clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS, WEDNESDAY. MATCH 23. SPr W. GUISE presented eleven petitions from parishes in Glouces tershire, in favour of reform in Parliament. The Liverpool and Chester Railway bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. Mr. LITTLETON presented seven petitions from parishes in Star tordshire. in favour of reform. Mr. EGERTON presented a petition from the county of Chester, in favour of the plan of reform proposed by Ministers, and similar petitions front Stockport and Macclesfield. Mr. JAMES BROUG HA M presented fourteen petitions from sellout places in several counties, in favour of reform. tir. PORTMAN presented a petition from the county of Dorset, in favour of the reform proposed by ministers; and a petition from An. tlov•r„ against the plan of reform proposed by ministers, though they would support moderate reform. Mr. CALCRAFT thought that any moderate reformer could sup. port the principle of the present bill. He had come into parliament under the guidance of Mr. Fox, and had given his first vote for the abolition of the slave trade ; his second for the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts; his third for Catholic Emancipation, and his fourth for Reform in Parliament. The three first had been carried, and h was satisfied that the fourth could not be long delayed. Colonel DAVIES presented a petition from Worcester, in favour of the reform bill brought in by ministers. . Mr. BALFOUR presented a petition from a borough in Scotland, against certain parts of the Scotch reform bill. Lord KI LLEEN presented a petition from the county of Meath, for the extension of the jury bill to Ireland. Mr. O'CONNELL deemed it but justice to the late administration to say, that they had proposed the extension of the bill to Ireland, and had accepted of his services to prepare the bill. Mr. S. RICE said it was under the consideration of the present ad. ministration, and he had no doubt the result would be satisfectory. SUGAR DUTIES BILL.

WYNN moved that the Howse resolve itself into a Com. mittee of Supply. NIT. HOULBURN said the House was not prepared for going into a Committee of Supply on Wednesday evening, after two nights severe debate ; and though he did not wish to delay any public busi ness, he thought there could be no necessity for persevering in the discussion this night, in the then state of the House.--[The House was very thin.l M. WYNN said, that in the items of army estimates which he meant to propose, he did not think there was any question that could cause discussion. Sir ROBENT PEEL said he would not lend himself to any pro ceedings to obstruct tile public business; but he could net but think it a bad precedent to call on the house to vote estimates on a short notice. The motion was agreed to, and the house resolved itself into a Com mittee of Supply. Mr. WYNN moved that 19,9001. be granted to his Majesty for de fraying the charge of the Military Asylum for the year 1831. Mr. H U 311?, objected to the grant, as tending to produce a surplus population, while there was a bill before the house for exporting people. He thought the grant, being wrong in principle, should be gradually reduced. Lord ALTHORP, Sir M. RIDLEY, and Sir H. HARDINGE, thought it was reasonable and just to make a provision for the orphan children of soldiers. Mr. HUM R thought the system was bad; and every one who vi sited the establishment must be convinced of it. They would see mi. ments of boys with drums and fifes, and commanding officers. The Government of England wins essentially civil, and ought not to be made military. The children of soldiers should be allowed to go into the mass of the community, instead of being left u a distinct order in the state. Sir H. HARDINGE asked the Secretary for Ireland when he should introduce the Reform Bill for Ireland 1 t'r. STANLEY said, he should to-morrow propose to bring in the Bill, and would then he prepared to discuss its merits. Mr. O'CONNELL said it was quite clear that the children of sol diers ought to be provided for ; the only question was the manner. The soldiers of England had all settlements, and if the fathers dying abroad deprived them of that settlement, the law should be altered in that re spect; and the relatives of the Irish soldiers would infinitely prefer hav ing the orphans of their relatives sent to them to support. Agreed to. Sir. WI NN moved that 239,8031. be granted to his Majesty, to de fray the expense of the Volunteer Corps for the year 1831. Sir. O'CONNELL protested against going into the question by surprise. The question as far as it regarded Ireland, was not less im. portant than the Reform Bill. Mr. STANLEY said he had no objection to the postponement of the question. so far as it regarded the Irish yeomanry. 3lr. WYNN said he should postpone the whole question, as be thought it would be mote correct to take the whole vote together. (Hear.) Mr. WYNN moved that 135,0001. be granted to his Majesty for pay. ing Generals in the army, not being Colonels of regiments. 31r. HOME said we had 8000 officers on half-pay, and all military promotions should cease. If a coronation should take place he hoped the country would not be oppressed by any promotion in the army, with which the country was threatened. The Resolution was agreed to. Mr. WY NN moved a grant of 93,3001. for reduced and retired officers for 1831.—Agreed to. 697,8001. for half pay of officers for 1031.—Agreed to. 91,3001. for defraying the charges of foreign disbanded officers and pensions to their widows.—Agreed to. 27,1741. for defraying the charges of Local Militia and Yeomanry. —Agreed to. 147,7581. for pensions to widows of officers.—Agreed to. 180,6191. for the compassionate list, and pensions to officers foe wounds.—Agreed to. 1,335,9861. for Chelsea and Kilmainham Hospitals, for the year 1831.—Agreed to. 53 3691. fur superannuation allowances to persons belonging to pub lic departments. 32.0001. for Exchequer fees on monies voted for army service in the year 1031. Sir H. HA RDINGE asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether it was his intention to propose the navy estimates to-night Sir JAMES GRAHAM said, it was his intention when he came to the house ; but in the present state of the house lie should postpone it to Friday, when, from the urgency of the case, it must take precedence of every other business. 'rile House resumed.—Report to-morrow. Slr. WYNN gave notice, that on Monday he would move the votes postponed to-day. The other orders of the day were disposed of, and the House Ad journed at Eight o'clock. COMMITTEE ROOM, HOUSE OF COMMONS. W EDS EaDAY. THE LIVERPOOL ELECTION. Charles Danlevie, being recalled this morning, begged to correct a mistake which he made in his evidence yesterday. He then stated that Cottingham, Newton, and Webster, London voters, had not received more than 301. each. lie now recollected that Cottingham received 151. and Webster 401. The reason a distinction was made was, that Nome 01 them had received money in . London. Examined by Mr. HARIMION.—He received about 6,0001. or' 6,0001. troin different Gentlemen of the Committee, for the purposes of the election. lie heard of eo subscription for Mr. Ewart's election. lie kept no account of what he received, nor did he account to any pawn fur chat lie paid. It was his impression that those London emus to whom he paid 201. each had not their expenses defrayed; but he never inquired whether their expenses were paid or not. Crow.examined by Mr. Serjeant Spastxtx.—He had no communi cation whatever with Mt. Ryan respecting the election. Never received any money from Mr. Ewan for election purposes, nor was Mr. Ewart aware that witness had expended any money on account of the election. He neither expected, nor had he received, any compensation for his , trouble. He dined every day at the King's Anna, but not at his own 1 expense. By Mr. Charles Wood—Recollected Mr. Canning's election. It was carried on at considerable expense, but he could not say whether Mr. Canning had been aware of such expenses, for they were defrayed by subscriptions. He believed that Mr. Canning never took any active part on such occasions. He believed that Mr. Canning's election never con Mr. Canning a farthing. The late election was conducted in the same manner as Mr. Caoniog'a, but on a larger scale. lie believed that the expenses were defrayed by Mr. Ewart's friends; he never saw Mr. R. interfere any further in the election than to canvass. He could not say that Mx.E. woe aware of what was carried on at the King's Anita. LONDON. .-...-- THURSDAY, MARCH 24. Our Foreign Intelligence of this day, is extremely dis heartening, as far as it regards Italy ; but still encouraging, as far as it regards Poland. Little, however, is added, un der either head, to what we communicated yesterday. The letter from General Di EIHTSCH, which, we believe, will be found in the STAR of to-day, exclusively, it may be remarked, is in a different key from the former documents, to which that General's signature have been attached. The pro clamation from the Poles, if authentic—which, with our cotemporary, the Herald, we consider doubtful—will exist forever in history, to the shame and disgrace of all the Southern Powers ; and we should not exclude even Eng land, if its Government were not engaged in overcoming an enemy, which has made a DANGEROUS LODGMENT in the citadel of our Constitution. We have the AllgemeineZeitung of the 17th Marcb this day ; which is so very different in its tone on Polish politics, that we give the following extract from that paper, with unusual pleasure :- FRONTIERS OF POLAND, MARCH S.—Since the Polish troops have taken a position on the left bank of the Vistula, all the men able to bear arms have hastened, from the towns and villages, to join the army. In the remote provinces, the general levy proceeds with activity, and the corps of General KREUTZ is said to have been obliged to quit the southern part of the kingdom, while the main Russian army finds great difficulty in receiving its supplies, on account of the state of the roads ; the Russian General begins to be sensible of the difficulty of his situa tion, and is obliged to organize moveable columns in his rear, to keep in check the districts occupied by his army. The season, and especially the state of the rivers, impede the offensive operations, and the war may be protracted. This would be, at all events, disadvantageous to the Rus sians, as they are far from their resources, in an enemy's country, surrounded by an excited popu:ation, and opposed by a brave army, which can more easily repair its losses, and acquires moral energy fromevery new advantage. The Russians I.ave, besides, lost many men in the sanguinary battles at Grochow and Frage ; and should the insurgents proceed in keeping the Land sturm constantly under arms, the Russians will find it difficult to maintain their ground in Poland—at least, they will be hindered for a time from taking any active part in the affairs of Europe: for it is calculated, that should the Polish insurrection be really suppressed by the 20th March. the whole of the Russian force now in Poland, will be re quired to keep down the Poles, and to support the imperial ordinances ; and that it will not be before the middle of Sep tember, that 80,000 from the interior of the empire can be on the frontiers of Prussia, to be employed in another service. The Brussels Papers which have come to hand this day, contain some intelligence, the purport of which is rather, under our present knowledge, inexplicable. The following are the passages to which we allude, extracted from Le Vrai Patriots : BaussELa, MARCH 20.—We learn from good authority, that the military occupation of the Grand Duchy of Luxem burg is going to be carried into execution with the consent of France. Several French soldiers, in the uniform of the French 22d regiment of the line, wearing the French tri-coloured cockade, were seen yesterday in the streets of Brussels ; they bad received billets, and were going under the care of a subaltern officer to the masters assigned them. Being ques tioned by some persons on their reasons for coming to Bel gium while, according to the French Journals, the army is so enthusiastic in favour of the principles of the revolution of July, they answered that they came to serve our cause. It is asked whether, under the pretext of desertion, or of a noble passion for our cause,it is intended thus to introduce imperceptibly, and successively into Belgium, a sufficient number of French soldiers, to form for General B. either a guard of honour or a division. Two days ago, three French subaltern officers were seen to leave Lille, and pass in a good carriage through the line of the French and Belgian Douaniers, without any enquiry being made respecting the object of their journey. There are means of organization, and subaltern officers who may, perhaps, before long, have a pair of epaulettes. If these men are deserted, why quarter them on the citizens ? But what, if instead of desertion, there were a plan of inva sion thus disguised, by means of which it might be possible, under certain circumstances, to get into our fortresses, several of which, though they have no garrison, have, it is said, been provisioned by the care of another Frenchman, M. Chazal, who, during our glorious revolution, has shown him self so grateful for the hospitality generously granted by a barbarian to his father and his family. If, by the aid of so gross a deception, some traitors should think of deliver ing up our fortresses to our own powerful ally, do they think that we should particularly suffer such an in famous proceeding ? Do they think that Foreign Powers would permit such a violation of the laws of nations ? _ _ _ _ We 11ear that the Regent of Belgium has proposed to the Cabinet of the Hague to enter into negociations to regulate the points in dispute between Holland and Belgium, and that King William has answered that he did not treat with rebels and traitors. It is said, that he added that he gave the Bel gians 15 days to make its submission, after the expiration of which, the King of Holland proposes, if we do not obey his orders, to reduce us by force. We do not answer for theee statements, but they seem to us to be probable. In addition to the above, the Brussels papers of the 23d afford us the subjoined paragraphs. It seems certain that M. Goblet, the Minister of 'War, and M. De Broucker, Minister of Finance, have resigned. The resignation of M. Tielemans, Minister of the Interior, is spoken of, but does not seem so certain. BRUbSELS, MARCH 22.—8 y a decree, dated the 21st inst. the Regent has convoked the Congress for the 29th. The Regent has ordered fifty thousand pikes to be made to arm the country people. The Governor of Corlon (Grand Duchy of Luxemburg), has just written to the Belgic Governor, to ask for 15,000 men, to oppose the troops of the Confederation. The day before yesterday, a Dutch steam-boat, supposed to be theßatavier,was seen off Ostend for an hour and a half. It hoisted the Orange flag, and was supposed to come from ' England, and have the Prince of Orange on board. General Belliard set out last night to return to Paris. We are assured that Baron Loe has given his resignation as Governor of Limburg. An association was spoken of yesterday to insure the in dependence of Belgium at.d the expulsion of the house of Nassau, like the associations in France. We are friends to peace ; but we are not friends to non resistance, when robbers and spoliators have acquired an ascendancy. We are friends to non-intervention in the affairs of other countries, and to the guarantee of all great countries, that no one should interfere. We are friends, however, to intervention in defence of Poland again stßussia ; because Poland was conceded to Russia un der the provisions of a Constitution which Russia has trampled under foot ; and we advocate intervention in Italy, because Austria has dared, in the face of Europe, to march I her hordes among independent people, because they had raised the standard of freedom. Again, we consider France as having duties to perform ; because France had publicly encouraged the patriots of Poland and Italy, to calculate on support in case of intervention ; and because the popu lar Institutions of France, and the principles of its revolu tion, were in active sympathy with freedom. We deny the alleged hazard or the expence to France, and repeat, again and again, that 50,000 French troops might march from Cadiz to Riga ; and from Antwerp to Constantinople, if the rights of man were inscribed on their standards, and if LA FA TETTE were their Commander-in-Chief. The despots and their adherents would be scattered like chaff ! If Russia and Austria had not confederates at Paris, they would not dare to oppress the Poles and the Italians. We agree with the ILLUSTRIOUS LA FAYETTE, that the cause of Poland is the cause of France; and that the Italians ought not to be abandoned to the well-known mercies of the Austrians. A war of freemen with despots, would be merely a triumphant march. Wars are only bloody and prolonged, when the people have no interest in them ; nor ought they to be waged against despots to whom their people submit ; but only when offending, as in the present case of Russia and Austria.— The French Minister speaks like a jesuit, of paper negocia tions ; but Austria dispenses with them, negociates sword in hand, and butchers the Italian patriots. He speaks, like a jesuit, of the respect and gratitude of France to Poland, and yet tamely beholds the Cossacks devastating that country. We fear, therefore, for the permanency of the French Go vernment, in the degree in which we respect its origin, and in which we desire that th e vas t powers o f France sho uld be well used. Is the French Government popular, or is it not ? If it be retorted that England is equally boun d—we agree; but France bas no boroughmongers. England will never equivocate, or be jesuitical, about a principle or a practice,' when it is freed from that accursed influence. Rumours of dissolution continue, but, in our opinion, if a majority of ox e was sufficient to pass and give perma nence to the Act of Settlement, ONE is also sufficient to pass and give permanence to the liberties of the people. A dissolution may add forty or fifty to the majority ; b ut as the borough faction has lost a great battle, its numbers, in the progress of this legislative war, are more likely to decrease than increase. Whether there be a dissolution or not, we advise that the first victory be every where celebrated; and that the cele bration be used as she means of uniting the people every where in the most solemn bonds, to eject, as far as lies in them, the Members who have voted against the measure. Even in close boroughs, much may be done to disturb exist ing usurpations, by a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether. This is the time to try men's souls ; a n d public-spirited men, wherever they are to be found, should lose no time in doing their local duties. We shall, day by day, be forward to record their exertions. Associations and subscriptions to secure the return of honest men are the means of greatest promise ; and a central one for every county ; directing others in districts, towns, and boroughs, will be the most effective system. No time however to be lost. We have given the lists of the Majority and Minority . Electors every where will discern whom they are bound to reject. One hundred might be pointed out, who never again ought to be entrusted as guardians of our free Constitution. Of the Scotch Members, where the people are so en lightened, and so firm in i.heir patriotism, only 14 voted for the Bill, and 28 against it. Of the Irish, 52 voted for it, and 37 against it. Of the English and Welsh counties, 40 voted for it, and 20 against it. For towns where there is volition, about 60 voted for it, and 3n against it. It is therefore evident, that, if half the mal. contents are ejected, there will be a majority, in a new• Parliament, of 50 or 60. Be it, however, as it may, England, at such a crisis, ex pects every man to do his duty. In the Lords, last night, some Members of the miserable Corporation of Dublin interposed their independent and en lightened opinion against the Bill—which warranted Lord RODEN in deprecating its revolutionary character. This Earl GREY repelled with his usual talent. Lord CA ERN A tt- VON; whom we have so often hailed in patriotic assem blies, then gave his adverse opinion, and wished the Reform to be made only step by step. But Lord LA NSDOWN replied with energy, and LORD BROUGHAM displayed his power of sarcasm, on the bit-by-bit reformers. Lord FARNHAM (the late Charles Long) said, he judged of the measure by the character of its supporters. The Duke of Mai MON D said, it would be time enough to decide when the Bill, as it would lie, was before the House. Lord Mox soN was not of opinion that the closeßoroughs were injurious! We hope, notwithstanding these symptoms, that their Lordships will do their duty when the time comes; but it would not be difficult to estimate the result, by examining the votes of the nominees. The COMMONS met, notwithstanding the sittings till three and four o'clock on the previous nights, proving that the honour of being a representative, is counterbalanced by a severity of service, greater than most day-labourers could endure. In truth, the late hours destroy the members, and even all the dependants of the house ; and we know two diligent members, who, during the present Session, have lost two or three stone in weight. Petitions continue to pour in. On the presentation of that from Cheshire, General GROSVENOR made the noblest declarations, and declared he should support the Bill exactly as it stood, and withdraw his support if altered in a single point. The people, he said, were entitled to the whole Bill, and nothing less. We are gratified, too, to see Lord BEL- G RSV E's name in the majority. Mr. BA NIKES taunted Mr. CALCRAFT, that he had not made a bargain like Mr. HUNT ; but this Mr. H UWT de nied. He had, he said, merely ascertained that the actual clause which secures all life-interests in the franchise, in cluded those of the electors of Preston. In a Committee on Supply, Mr. titian objected on prin ciple to £19,975 to the Military Asylum. The vote of £239,803 for volunteer corps was postponed on the sugges tion of Mr. O'CoNN ELL. Mr. HUME protested again on the vote of £135,000 for the pay of unattached general officers. Other sums were then voted ; but to the grant of £1,335,986 for Chelsea and kilmainham pensioners, Mr. HUNT objected ; because such pensions tended too often to encourage idleness and drunkenness—a fact well known in every town and village. Mr. STANLEY undertook to bring in the Irish Reform bill this evening. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. LICLUSITZ. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. _______ PARIS, Masai 21. The Ides of March have arrived and passed ; and, con trary to the prediction of many, have passed without tumult. Yesterday, which was the birthday of the Duke of Reich stadt, as well as the anniversary of the arrival of Napoleon in Paris from Elba, had been long set down as a day on which the Republic was to be proclaimed ; and a day on which the Carlist faction was to take advantage of the ge neral confusion, again to push forward their impotent pre tensions. Neither Republicans nor Carnets disturbed the tranquillity of the day. The day, however. of " fresh remembrances" was looked forward to, with interest and impatience. It was stated, that the shade of the great Napoleon was to appear, under the features of his son,—that the Statue of the Conqueror of Austerlits, Jena, and Marengo, would be placed on the top of the column Vendame,— and th a t 20,000 men were to essay to raise upon their shield s , th e son o f hi m w h o p l ace d at hi s feet the Kings of Europe. For nearly a mon th, all this had been publicly talked of; and the order and march of the procession fixed. But the 20th of March has passed away it is now the 21st : the republic lies under the barricades of July ; and the remains of the Imperial Colossus under the cold stone of St. Helena About three o'clock yesterday, a carriage stopped oppo site the column Vendome ; a lady descended, followed by gentleman ; they each threw crowns of laurel over the railing inclosing the column ; they fell at the base of the pillar, amidst the acclamations of the few persons who hap pened to be present on the spot. The worshippers at the I By Lord MOZPETH—The reason why the late election was carried on on a greater scale than Mr. Canning's was, that Mr. Denison's friends bantered Mr. Ewart's Mends about the amount of the money which the were were prepared to expend on the election. By Mr. OmisT—Mr. Canning must have been aware that there was much treating going on during his election ; but he doubted very muck whether Mr. Ewart had been cognizant of the proceedings which were carried on during his election, though they were on a larger scale than those of Mr. Canning'''. He could not say he was justified in laying out the money of others, without an inquiry ; but still he did it. The ex citement which prevailed at the election was the only justification which he could offer for paying large sums, which cool reflection would dissuade him from doing. The reason why he expended 6,0401. without accounting for it, was because all Mr. Ewart's friends had confidence in each other. Witness subscribed nothing towards the expense*. Robert Mercer,' joiner, and freeman of Liverpool, examined by Mr. Hut RISON—Was present at a meeting of the joiners, previous to the election, in a public-house, where Mr. Ewart attended and made a speech. They had some drink. It being asked who should pay the expenses, Mr. John Ewart said, that his brother could not pay them, as he was a candidate; but that they should be paid. The joiners did not pay the expenses. John Taylor, a joiner, examined by Mr. Serjeant 111xaswEvrunt —Was doorkeeper to the pay-room during the election. He never went in, except when he waa pushed in. Saw forty publicans some days there, going to be settled with. Saw money paid to them. Saw many persons going away with money in their hands. Saw several voters some of whom were his fellow-workmen, go into the room. Their names were generally called out by the captains of the tallies. George Shaw, a joiner and freeman, examined by Mr. Sergeant 31EREIVEATAZI—Had canvassed for Mr. Evart, and procured him about 80 votes. This witness proved that several of the voters had been supplied with refreshments at the expense of Mr. Ewart's friends. When he canvassed the voters, he told them that those who voted the first day would get as much as those who voted last. This was a scheme to get the voters up. Recollected being in a public-house where Mr. John Ewart and some freemen were. He asked Mr. John Ewart how much they asked, who held up his hand in a despairing manner, and replied 161. He had asked this question because it was generally un derstood that the voters were to be paid for their votes. The freemen who were with Mr. John Ewart that evening subsequently complained of not having received 161. as they had been promised. The Speaker having taken the Chair at this time, the Committee adjourned. CONTRACTS FOR WHEAT, COCOA, PORT WINE. IRON HOOPS, Ste. VICTUALLING OFFICE, March 44, 1831.
