Earl of WINCH I LSEA pod that t* bill which he P. p ..t t a was to afford to the agricultural labourers, and r.h' It should remain in force two years. He proposed a rate shoohl be raised during six months in the )enr. t'or foe relief of the labourer. The present system of parr tended much to the demoralization of the peasantry. It was intpossible for the honest labourer to obtain employ ment in any parish hut his own. such was the apprehension that he would, under the present law, gain a settlement, end beeninc chargeable on the parish. There was no time to be lost in removing the causes of such disivu throughout the labouring classes. Tie trusted that their Lordships would allow the bill to go into a Committee, in which he would propose some amendments. MLord W YNFORD said that one of the reasons of the want of employment was, that the capital of the farmer was wasted away. When the bill went into a Committe, be wo ild make various suggestions. The Marquis of LANSDOWN said that he felt it his duty to oppose the Bill, which would have the effect of in troducing a new rate of taxation in addition to the prestnt poor rates. He also objected to the 11111, because it was calculated to induce the farmers to employ the worst bar, dr, for ' if they employed under the Bill, a certain nun.ber of labottrers, they would not be liable to the proposed rate. Ile did not deny that such arrangements might be catered into in parishes with advanta,te, but disapproved of env le gislative enactment on the subject. He wag not unwilling to create a fund for the support of the unemployed labour rs, but he did not consider the proposed bill would answer such a purpose. He trusted that Parliament would not separate without, under the advice of his Maj: sty's Government, eev'sing some m ans by which laar s mght be advanced t carry on public works in sonic diatticts. He could not give the measure his support. The FArl of WINCHILSEA said that he believed the hill would afford considerable relief, a: - .d trusted it would b: 111!owed to go into a Committee. After some further remarks from the Marquis of Lans down, The Bishop of LONDON said that he considered the bill woald have a pernicious tendency ; besides, it was of a compulsory nature, and he felt satisfied that she practical effect of the measure a ould be injurious. He recommended a revision of the poor laws, as most likely to improve the c.,ntlition of the labourers. The .Marquis of SALISBURY hoped the bill would be suffered to go thtotTh the second reading, with the intention of remodelling it in the Committee. The Duke of RICH NIOND could not give his sanction to the principle of the bill, by allowing it to be read a second time. He hoped his noble friend would consent to with draw the bill ; if he did not, he (the Duke of Richmond) should feel it his duty to move that it be read this day six months. Lord ELLE NBOROUGH said that he would support the bill, and from the knowledge his noble friend (Winchil. sea) had of the condition of the poor, be thought the bill worthy their lordships' further consideration. Viscount MELBOURNE was opposed to the second r,:tding of the bill, as that would be giving their lordships' sanction to the principle of the measure. It was an Infringe ment on the right of property, and an intefcrence with private individuals in the management of their private concur. The Duke of WELLINGTON said that the system rropor:ti w be adopted by the noble lord teas a system ac• tually in operation in n:any places. He thought it advisable to allow the bill to be re4d a second time. Earl GREY said that, as the bill was admitted to be vicious and !objectionable by both sides of the house, he could not delude the country, by allowing it to go to a corn mime, when the bill was incapable of being so modified as to meet the e lii complained of. It would be inconsi s tent with the duty which their lordships owed to themselves, to allow the second reading of the bill. He felt compelled to give his vote against the progress of any further discussion on the bill, : After a few remarks from the Earl of CARNARVON, who recommended the noble lord to withdraw the bill, The Earl of WI NCHILSEA said that he would with draw the bill, and leave the consideration of the question to his Majesty's ministers. The bill was accordingly with diaan, after a few remarks from the Dukeof RICHMOND. LORD LIEUTENANT'S (IRELAND c i BILL. Viscount 31 E LBOUR NE moved the or er of the day for the house going into committee on this Bill. Lord CARBERItY inquired what the qualifications for Irish Magistrates were to be under the new system / Lord PLUNKETT replied, that in due time these qua lifications would be made known. After some remarks from Earl WICKLOW, The Marquis of LONDONDERRY complained, that Ministers appeared to be in too great haste with the pre sent Bill. Viscount MELBOURNE answercd that there was no wish, on the part of his Majesty's ministers, to hasten the measure through the house, although tlity wished strongly to assimilate the Lieutenancy of Irish counties to those of England. The Duke of WELLINGTON raid he should support the nom ure. Earl GREY thanked the ncble duke for his manly and independent support. As respected the qualifications of the Magistracy, residence should be considered as one of the moat important. After a few words from Lord WICKLOW and Lord PLUNKETT, the Report was ordered to be received on Monday. Adjourned at Num o'Clock. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. !!. ; TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. PARIS, Jinx G. SIR,--1 have nothing new to state, since I v:rote yesterday. No intelligence whatever has arrived from Poland; and here the people ere all engaged on the result of the Elections ; and, at the same time, anxiously looking forward to the Jesuit of the question which is engaging the Bel gian Congress. Tranquillity reigns here, but I look forward to a bostling month. Thre is a kind of independent swaggering deportment in the working classes of Paris—who certainly were the men who made the Revolution. They have, most of them, mounted tri-colcured cockade iu their hats, to comrne timrate the return of the month of July ; and the iv:9A excitement causes them to burst out, as at the commencement of the Revolution, with the arsoilloise and the Parisienne. Yesterday a Pole was recognised in the Place (les- nett:ire ; the people raised him in their arms, and carried him in that manner to his hotel amidst cries of " Long live Poland ! Long live the brave Poles! Down with the Russians." A great crowd collected round the hotel chaunting the •Marselloise, till the Polish officer appeared at the window, and with great emotion,; said—" 1 am Lat little accustomed to speak French, and cannot, therefore, express to you all the feelings of my heart. 1 am, besides, too much moved to have power to speak. French men and Poles have always been brothers—and ever will be ! " This brief address was received v‘itli loud applause, and the Marseilloise and Pa risienne were again commenced, and continued for some hours. Terrible reflections and comparisons are drawn' from the situation In which France is, to what it ought to have been, from the noble efforts made at the beginning of her Revo lution. They state that the tricoloured cockade was a constellation of Liberty ; but that it has en tered into the Sign Cancer, and marches back wards. I forward the journals, and remain Yours, &c. &c. 1 L. EXTRACTS FROM THE JOURNALS. Electors, if you would neither have the Republic nor Bankruptcy, nor the ruin of agriculture and commerce, discard the intriguants ; only vote for the Deputies whom you know to be the enemiesof disorder; and the same as you remained faithful to the Emperor Napoleon, because you made him yourselves, remain faithful and defend the King of the French, whom you have named his successor in the midst of the fire of grape shot and the bar ri ales of the French people.—LaFranceNouvelle. This evening a report was spread that the Con gress had refused the propositions by a considera ble majority. Government had, it was said, re ceived the intelligence by telegraph.

POSEN, JUNE 24.- Our Journal announces that tho Russians have passed the Vistula at Wloclawek, a small city, which, as well as save• ral villages, was reduced to ashes. The Russians occupy the borders of the Vistula unto Thorn. Ti.e Quarter-General of the Generalissimo, who had hastened to encounter them, was at Soehac zew. VIENNA, JUN E 24.—Since yesterday there is more uneasiness than ever upon the propagation of the Cholera Morbus, for it has crossed the first line of the Cordon Sanitaire, and has shown itself on this side. It has been in consequence ordained to remove the first line from the river San, and to establish it upon Wislock. Every precaution has ben taken in case the disease should reach the capital.—Gazette Universelle d'Angsburg. They write from Berlin—The specific of Dr. Leo against the cholera morbus is employed at this moment by our physicians at Dantzic from the invi tation of the government; we shall learn in a short time whether this means so much boasted by the Polish authorities, will have had any decided re sult. If that hope is realised, the inventor in rendering so eminent a service to mankind, will have acquired an immortal glory. He is the son of a Jew merchant of this city. The friendly re lations which had since his infancy existed with Count Ledochowski, the present commander of Modlin, led him to Warsaw after that he had com pleted his medical studies, and he has practised there as a physician for some years.—Gazette d' A ugsbourg. The month of July is a month for revolutions and battles—the greatest revolutions which have shaken Europe and the world have taken place in the month of July. On the 14th of July, 1775, the revolution of the United States of America. On the 14th of July, 1789, was the first marked event of the French Revolution. It is from the month of July, 1581, that is dated the revolution of the United Provinces. On the 27th of July, 1830, the second French Revolution was accomplished. On the Bth of July, 1397, the revolution, operated by the union of Calmar, placed three crowns upon the head of the Semiramis of the north, Margaret of Waldemar. On the 9th of July, 1762, the other Semiramis of the north, Catherine, chased her hus band from the throne, and began her reign by a crime. Of all the months of the calendar, it is perhaps the month of July during which has taken place the greate number of decisive battles The battle of Allica, which took place on the 18th of July, put Rome in jeopardy. The battle of Tibe riade, which was fought on the 3d of July, caused the kingdom of Jerusalem to fall into the power of the Infidels, and precipitated the unfortunate Lu signan from the throne. On the 25th of July, the battle of Ourigna drove the Moors from Portugal, arid rendered Alphonse I. master of that kingdom. The hopes of James 11. were ruined by the battle of the Boyne, fought on the 21st of July. It as sured to the Prince of Orange the possession of his crown. On the Bth of July, the battle of Pultawa overthrew the power of Charles XII. Bing of Sweden, and prepared the all powerful Peter the Great. On the 22d of July, Charles Martel gained over the Saracens the battle lof Poitiers, which delivered France from the Ma hometan yoke, ready to crush it. At the end of the war of the succession, Marshal Villars gained, on the 25th of July, that battle of Denain, which rendered lustre to the arms of Louis XIV. so long faded by numerous reverses, which had followed astonishing victories. The battles of Foronovo, Fleurus, Nerwinde, and Lawfeldt, where French valour remained victorious, were fought in the month of July. On the 241 of July, Conde and Turenne fought at the gates of Parts, and the faubourg Saint Antoine. On the same day, Napoleon took Alexandria by assault. The battle of Aboukir was on the 3d of July, 1199 ; that of the Pyramids, on the 25th of July, 1798. The battle of Wagram, of which the results were so important, took place at the same period. On the 27th of July, 1780, Ro biespierre and Marat raised against the National Assembly and the Court, the population of Paris. On the 28th of July, 1793, Roberspierre, con demned to death by his colleagues, mounted upon the scaffold. In fact, it was during the month of July that the Regency of Algiers, conquered by the arms of France, paid the price of long insults of which those pirates had been so prodigal to Chris tians.— Quotidienne. The first number of a Journal published by the Society des Amis du Peuple was seized on Friday. Search is said to have been made at the houses of such members of that Society as were concerned in the publication. The Memorial Bordelais contains the following extract of a private letter from St. Pierre, Mar tinique, dated May 21 : " The sentence of death pronounced by the Court of Assizes upon twenty six persons implicated in the conspiracy which broke out in the night of February 9 has been executed upon twenty-two of them. Two have received the King's pardon, and two declared at the foot of the gibbet that they had important discoveries to make. Those who suffered went to their fate uttering the most horrid imprecations, shouting " Vive la liberte ! " calling upon the people to rebel, and declaring that their only regret vas that they had failed in their plans. They re jetted with insults all interference of the priest hood. It appears that among other important re vblations made, a depot of arms has been revealed, in a hole dug in the ground, not far from the town.—Galignani. Le Temps.—Poland and Belgium have saved France, which, but for them, would have been at tacked and taken by surprise. We have given up the one to England; what have we done for the other P La Qaotidienne says, that the most remarkable fact in the late journey of the King is, that if all the addresses presented to him be examined, it will be found that they are mere variations and amplifi cations of the single sentence " we are suffering." All are ngreed that the revolution of July was a great and glorious revolution ; but it does, neverthe less, happen, that the fruits of this golden age have been distress, misery, and privation in etery branch of commerce and industry. The King replied by common-place exhortations to patience, and assur ances that he would do all in his power to relieve the suffering ; but he must be aware that the evil is beyond his power of remedying. The men of the revolution will say to the Government, give us satisfaction, and we will stop our headlong course. Government says to the men of the revolution— stop first, and you shall have satisfaction. The country awaits the result ; but it may be expected that the party of anarchy will not be the first to give way. GERMAN PAPERS. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) ALExasnat I, Aram 16.—(From Me Cour rier de Smyrne.)—lbrahim Pacha, the son of the Viceroy, has been here for some days past. The chief motive of his visit was the expected arrival of the fleet of the Cnpitan Pacha in our port. It is said that the Admiral of the Porte is to confer with the Viceroy on the measures to be taken for organising the different provinces of the empire now under the government of the rebellious pachas. This relates chiefly to the Pachalik of Bagdad, against which Mahomet Ali has received orders to send 8,000 of his troops. The Viceroy will receive the Capitan Pacha in his palace at Schubra, where preparations are already making for his accommodation. Every body is curious to see Halil Pacha, who has a great reputation for his talents and polished manners. Great levies are making in Egypt, which causes a considerable emigration among the Arabian corn ,try people, who endeavour as much as possible to escape from the necessity of becoming soldiers. A second ship of the line will be soon launched. Another, of a hundred and twenty guns, is just put on the stocks : the great object of the Viceroy is the increase of his navy. The land troops now stationed between Cairo and Alexan dria, are estimated at 50,000 men, namely, 40,000 infantry, and 10,000 cavalry. The Viceroy has lately formed a guard of honour of 1000 men. There are besides some regiments scattered in Russian Upper Egypt, and 8000 men in garrison in Candia. Thus Mehemet Ali's army amounts to about 70,000 men, and his navy increased with incredi ble rapidity. ALEXANDRIA, April 19.—A1l the Franks here have been in the greatest embarrassment for above a fortnight, because not a single Italian or French ship had arrived for a month, which is particularly strange at this season of the year, when many vessels might find freights; the ships of Trieste, and other Italian ports, at anchor here, have been afraid of putting to sea, because this uncommon suspen sion of all arrivals gave rise to a notion of a war between Austria and France. At length, the day before yesterday, a French man of war was des cried, and the sight of the tri-coloured flag was a subject of great joy. It was soon learnt that it brought secret despatches for the French Consul. General An. Minet (qy. Minaut,) is at Cairo, where he has lived fir some months quite away from all other Consuls. A Courier was imme diately dispatched to him by the Vice-Consul. A Courier, on a dromedary, requires only 24 hours to go to Cairo, but on foot, or on an ass, three or four days. A report is now spread here that the Consul has received from his Government instruc tions to persuade the Pac h a, by all sorts of pro mises, among others that of giving up Algiers to him, to support the Porte with his whole force in case of a war with Russia. Ido not give much credit to this tmauthenticated report, which has some appearance of probability,only from a circum stance that a part of the Paella's troops that were to march to-day for Syria, has received counter uil‘".4. It seems that an expedition is to be un dertaken against tt.. P.AIR of St. Jean d'Acre, who refuses to pay tribute to the 3 ult. : the Sultan, it is said, has given the Pachalit to Mehemet Ali, who intends to go with 20,000 men to displace that Pacha. The issue of this expedition is nct doubtful, as the Pacha of St. Jean d'Acre has not above 5,000 men, and not a single man of war fit for service. But another question is, whether the Sultan will not one day demand back all their provinces ; for otherwise Mehemet would be master of the greater part of the Turkish empire. Candia is wholly sub dued, and governed entirely in the European man ner. In Senaar the towns are conquered, but the inhabitants of the villages fight bravely for their in dependence: the climate, too, is in their favour, for almost all the Egyptians sent thither die, and the regiments of that country must be composed entirely of natives. The conquest of the country has alreadycost above 10,000 men,but what does that signify, if the annual assignments of gum and elephants' teeth do but come regularly : new soldiers may always be got together from the vil lages. In January disturbances took place in se veral parts of Senaar, and a physician from that country assures me that the troops in garrison there are in danger of being wholly destroyed, if they do not soon receive reinforcements. Ibrahim Pacha is still here, and often drives in a little cabriolet to the quarters of the Franks. We have had heavy rains for three days, which is extremely rare in this month, as that persons who have lived here forty years do not remember one instance of it.--All genteine Zeitung, July 2. LONDON. FRIDAY. JULY 8. The accounts from Poland are interesting. It ap- pears that the Poles have taken Lublin and Siedlic; and that in the neighbourhood of Lublin, there bas been some hard fighting. In the first Instance, a Polish General, Tarno, was defeated, owing to others playing the part of Grouchy at Waterloo, listening to the battle, instead of advancing to take part in it; but in this case the traitors have beta arrested. Subsequently, Cuusrswowsxt took Lublin, and the Warsaw Gazette briefly quoted on such a point by that of Prussia, states that Rndiger has been defeated with the loss of 6000 prisoners and 8 pieces of cannon. This, if true, would amount to an annihilation of his army, and be productive of very important consequences in the South of Poland. In the north a murderous war is continued, and the Russians appear to be shut up in Vilna and Schwale, and surrounded by the Poles :of various arms; but other accounts represent Gilegud and Cblapowski as being beaten and in difficulties. According to Russian returns, their whole army now left in Poland amounts, in round numbers, only to 87,000 men, in four or five armies ; and if we deduct sick and wounded, and incomplete re giments, we may presume that the effective force is reduced to 60,000. Yet we know from un questionable sources, that not only had all regular troops been sent into Poland, but the marines, and the very crews of the men-of-war at Cronstadt. The results are not allowed to transpire at St. Petersburgh ; but the Emperor is so impassioned that be declares, if any foreign power interfere to assist the Poles, he will call out five out of every six men in his dominions. In the meanwhile, it affords us pleasure to state, on good authority, that the Prussians in their ver sions are the same as they are in their neutrality, plus &Litre que jamais. Private letters from Warsaw, up to the 28th ult. give good accounts up to that day from all quarters, even from Lithuania. In the House of Lords, last night, Lord Wu AIRN CUM exposed, with feeling and eloquence, the miaaries and injuries of the Truck System ; in which he was supported by the Bishop of Roc HES TER, Lord AUCKLAND, Lord GODERICH, and the LORD CHANCELLOR. His Bill to put an end to it was read a second time. We are sorry to say, that Lord WI NCHELBEA'S Bill was opposed by Lords WYNTORD, LANS DOWNE, SALISBURY, MELBOURNE, and GREY, the Bishop of LONDON, and the Dukes of Ricu lIOND and WELLINGTON— SO that he consented to withdraw it—and no measure of direct relief to the Labourers is in consequence before Parliament. The Irish Lord Lieutenant's Bill passed through a Committee. In other columns we have given the names of the division on the Reform Question. Nine paired off, and this 18, and with 4 Tellers, made the number who voted 621. Twenty-four were i t bs sent, and eight were double returns, and thus have died since the Election. The proceedings at Guildhall yesterday may be regarded either as a trial of Mr. Conn ETT, instituted by the Whig Administration, or as a trial of the Wbig Administration,conducted by Mr. CODB ETT. In this respect it will be ever-memorable. Out opinions about causes and effects, wrongs and re medies, prosecution and punishment, in place of enquiry and redress—and above all of the Special Commissions of January and February last—have been so often repressed, that the portion of the public, who think with the STAR, will con template this judicial transaction with intense in terest. Of course we thought, that the true and rational way of putting an end to riots and animad versions, was to correct the evils created by a long course of mal-administration ; and we thought the sufferers entitled to the peculiar sympathy of the new Ministry, who came into power with the pro fessed design to ameliorate and reform. We can easily suppose that the policy of half a century was so knitted together, and so upheld in every department, by usages, precedents, and ojudices, that it was no easy task to change an irksome and oppressive system into a kind and liberal one, and so far the Whig Ministers had a valid apology for temporary inconsistency of practice and principle t but it would be a Cabinet measure, either to issue a proclamation appeasing by promises of inquiry and redress, or one threatening legal severities, and silent as to relief: and so also it would be no subaltern mea sure to send out special commissions, as against abstract crime, instead of commissions to enquire and tender redress. Either system might have re stored the peace of the country; but we conceive there will be no doubt as to the course which best befitted liberal principles, and a Whig Ministry, liberal par excellence, and whose professions of liberality constituted their claim on the hopes and affections of the people. This discrepancy then between practices and principles was the foundation of many observations in this paper, while those Special Commissions were working; and it was also the immediate MUM of those strictures of Mr. COBRaTT, in which in his own peculiar manner, be advocated the cause of the oppressed labourers, and !reigned the neglect of their condition on the punishments preferred by the Governe)(... We thought at the time, and we think still, ei ut the proceedings were harsh, unwise, and iti some instances cruel ; and it would a g o , d ns pleasure tomes the defence of them, whi c h wi doubt not by some species of logic the lih erc members of the administration can offer : b ut the arguments ought to be very strong which would justify the preference of the course adopted by a liberal administration, in preference to the ours, which liberality points out. This, then, was t h, origin of the writings of Mr. COBBETT, Which Government judged it dangerous to tolerate, and proceeding, by the constitutional mode of indict. went, was adopted by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL . It is certainly a singular mutation to behold the same gentleman, one day presiding at a U. versity specially established to promote free en quiry, and the second day after, performing ah t functions of a public prosecutor of the press. W e can however conceive the difference between ua. and abuse, and that Loth positions may be recoil disable ; but the circumstances ought to be sue!, as admitted little difference of opinion. Nor Bras it less singular to see the Prime Ministers of ou; Political and legal Govemment,and the chief Secre tart' of State, brought to issue with the accused. and reserving their evidence under the etiquette of of office. The liberality of the CHatect.taet placed him in a very awkward predicament, for Le had been but recently a volunteer in propagati ng and sanctioning the writings of Mr. COBBETT on the very subject which constituted the subject of this State prosecution. No doubt in a long course of advocacy, passages might be selected, which, taken alone, might be indictable ; but we should never regard such selection as fair or logical, and happily we now enjoy the benefit of Mr. Fox's Bill, and of the intelligence of Juries. At the same time, we can quote our own prat. lice in proof, that vituperation is not to our taste; but every man has his own manner, while in such things the final appeal is to the public. We are sorry that on this subject the government en tangled itself in a controversy. It has dont much good, and will, we have no doubt, do much more; but we always thought it neg lectful in not doing what was possible for the agricultural community, and in error in its special commmissions and its inflictions of plain law ; for it was giving the people a stone when they were merely asking for bread, after the manner in which all history shews that a distressed population pro ceed in similar cues. The Jury retired to consider their verdict at six o'clock last evening—they continued in debate all night—and, as we have mentioned at the conclu sion of our report, at eight o'clock this morning the Jury declared they were not agreed—nor was it possible they could come to a conclusion, one way or the other. Lord TENTERDEN then said— " GENTLEMEN, you are discharged." Yesterday evening, at ten o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, in Downing street. The Council was attended by all the Cali net Ministers, who sat in deliberation till after one o'clock this mornimg. This afternoon the KING, accompanied by se veral members of the Royal Family, in three dif- ferent carriages, left St. James's Palace on their way to a public breakfast given by Lord FARS BOUOUGH, at his seat at Bromley-hill, in Kent, to his MAJESTY, the Ro3al Family, &c. &c.

The Generalissimo has, echelonne, a part of his troops between Mod lin and Praga, and a general battle is soon ex• expected. The escape of Rudiger's division is at tributed to the capture of three Aid-de-Camps sent by the General-in-Chief with dispatches to three of the Polish Generals. The third Aid-de-Camp i suffered himself to be killed, as he would not give up his papers. Letters from Spain state, that the Duchess de Berry has appointed a Council of Ministers for the i Regency of Henry .5, composed of Blacas, How- 1 els, and Montbel. The Council is in communica- tion with the Catholic congregations and associ ations, who are charged to organise a civil war in the departments of the south and east of France, and a legion is forming on the other side of the Pyrenees, of emigrants and Chonans, and of of ficers of the student government of France.
