Mr. STUART asked whether them was to be soy appeal from the Commissioners' decision. [No answer.] Question put. and carried. Uolton.le•Muor was then proprsed to stand part of (~,e41..1e D. Mr. CHOKER made a few observations in opposition. Colonel TORlt ENS supported the motion He con e.dered Bolton-le-Moor the second town in Lancashire, and at the rr,•rer time he would move that the borough of 801. ten be tenieved from schedule U to schedule B. The thmien was aped to without a division. foe question that Blackburn, including the township of Blackburn, Lancashire, do stand part of schedule D, was put and carried. That Bradford, including the township of Bradford, Yorkshire, do stand a part of schedule D, was next put from the chair. . . . . FELLOWES said that the bill on its introduction was described as being intended for a final measure, but he was sure it would not, as regarded Bradford, set to rest the question of reform. Ho would repose that the townsh!ps of Horton and Alannington be added to the town, and should stand as the borough. Lord Mt )11PBTH coincided in the opinion of the Hon. Alember regarding the union of the threw places, but he thought It would be better to leave that part of the question tot the consideration of the Commissioners. The original motion was carried. That Bury, including the township of Bury. Lancashire, do mann a part of schedule D. was put and agreed to. That Cheltenham, including the town of Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, do stand part of schedule I) was put and agreed to. That Dudley. including the pariah of Dudley, Worces tershire, do stand part of schedule I) was carried. That Frome, including the town of Frome, Somersetshirc, do stand pan f schedule D was then put. Mr. D. BROWN said his own opinion was, that no bo rough should bend more than one member to Parliament. lie had represented a borough which sent two members, and it so happened that he and his colleagues had always been of opposite politics, and it only tended to confuse them both without benefiting the borough. He thought that Frome had no claim to a member, either on the score of population or taxation. Ito giving th is opinion he had to state, that he did so with the close friendly feeling towards the bill, which he would give hb best support. Lord MORPETH thought that Frome was entitled to representation, as it was one of the greatest manufacturing towns in the south of England. Lord GRENVILLE SOMERSET said, that he con sidered Frome entitled to representation. After some observations by Mr. SANDFORD and Al derman WAIT HMAN, the motion was carried without a division. The question vas then put, that Gateshead, including the par6ti of Gate3head, Durham, do stand part of &be dale D. Mr. CROKER proposed that Gateshead should be re. tached to Newcastle, of which town he said It was merely a part of the suburbs. He complained that Durham in that tiisnict had been given an undue accession of boroughs-- ctere being Tynemouth. Sunderland, North Shields, and South Shiekls, all within not more than ten miles, and .bleb together did not exceed h. population 34,000. He toought that miiii.ters had not adhered to the rule they set Lot with, but bad been gt•itied entirely by their own caprice i❑ the distributiotr, of fra Lord ALTIIORP said, that in the enfranchising part of toe bill they had taken population into account, but they had also taken other things into consideration. It bad ape pared to his Majesty's Government that the shipping west was insufficiently represented in the house, and they had extended that cousidzration to Ste place-. named by the bon. member, as well as to Whitby, being towns of ample population in the medium degree, whose interests were solely cor.uccte.l with the shipping interest. He con tended that it would be unfair to add so large a population as Gateshead to Newcabtle, which a fair right and full claim to the representation that it already possessed. Mr. GUI] LBU RN said he bad no objection to the exten sion of the representation to the shipping interest ; but he would draw the attention of the house to other places having as good claim, to that consideration, which had been placed is a different schedule. He instanced Kingston-upon.HuU, which, he said, was in precisely the same situation. Mr. HODGSON said, that the bill would only give ten members to Durham, and by the proportion, calculating by population, it would be entitled to nine members, so that there could only be one member to complain of. He could assure the house that the interests of Gateshead and New castle were quite different. Mr.GouLnuax and Mr.HoDosow mutually explained. Mr. K. DOUGLAS said, no one who had visited Gates head was not aware of ha being a suburb of Newcastle. A great number of the inhabitants of Newcastle bad their country residence in Gateshead. The trade and interests of both places were the same. The same representation would consequently do for both. The members given to North and South Shields, and the other places in the vicinity, made a separate teeniber for Gateshead conspicuously unneceseary. lie should take the sense of the House on the subject.— (lieu, hear.) Mr. KNIGHT called the attention of the house to the state of representation of the three adjoining counties in Wales, Brecon, Dionmouth, and Glamorgan, compared to tc e representation of Westmoreland. These three counties, i:icluding their borough representatives, were to have tore flier hire members ; Westmoreland was to have ten mem hires. Yet the three counties possessed mineral and agricul tural districts of much value, extensive manufactures, and sea-ports of great and increasing trade. Would it not be more just to give a member to Merthyr Tydvil, a place of nese, 211,000 inhabitants, than to Gateshead, a place with only 12,000, and a suburb of Newcastle ? (Hear, hear.) Ale. WOOD would, in answer to the member who said there was no difference between the case of Kingston upon Hull and Sculcoates, and that of Newcastle and Gateshead, state this broad difference, viz. that Newcastle and Gates head were o.i Ifferent aides of a river, in different counties, undo a dile:eta jurisdiction, and were totally unconnected; wheredlS Kingston and SCOldedted were to all intents and purposes one and the sante place. In &turret to the last sp:ak.r, he would merely state, that while Durham would lave one member to every 34,000 inhabitants, Glamorgan more *void have one to every 28,000. B.r lie II Ali DI N GE having long been connected with the county or Durham, opposed the motion with reluctance. But Geesne.rd had no claim whatever to receive one mem ber. It was merely a suburb of Newcastle, and not distin. guiabed by any important trade, or by amyl important rrson residing withiu it. He considered the proposition most unjust. Mr. b A DLRR said the hon. member (Mr. Wood) must he mistaken when he said the proportion la Durham would I.c one member to evay 34,000 Inhabitants. According to the census, Durham contained 207,000 souls, to which bumbcr ten members would be as one to every 20,000 iiihabitarits. (Hear, bear.) He denied, as natal by another sr..mlicr, that the reparation of the members was uniform. Look at the neighbouring county of Yolk, which was to have only thirty-four members for its 1,200.000 inhabitants, %thereat, it should have sixty representatives to be on the SCUM scale us Durham. ( Hear.) These anomalies existed in time bill it every disttiet, and with respect to every interest; Lie..? the rural and municipal immests--to the latter, with thr, e toilhon ir.habitanus, were given 300 represeutatives ; Lai, to the former, with nearly twice the amount of pope.

Sir H. HARDINGE had a local knowledge of Gates. head. having on several occasions canvassed the whole of it, %lien lie was a candidate far the city of Durham, though lie had not had the advantage enjoyed by the Hon. Member of dining at Onialhead, and milting there a most remarks.

Aftcr a tew words from an Hon. MEMBER, Mr. PRA RD denied that Shields had the same jurisdie ilea as Westoe. The very reverse was the fact. The case of Shields and Wes:oe was the same as that of Newcastle and Gateshead. - Mr. S. WORTLEY admitted that Gateshead had a et parate manor under Edward VI. however. this manor was assigned to Newcastle, the Magistrwes of which place con tinued to hold their sittings there for $ series of years. So much for the impossibility of uniting the two places.— (Hear.) Besides. Rochester was under a separate jurisdic tion from that of Chatham and Stroud, with which it was to be united.— (Hear.) The population of Gateshead was 11,700, or one-third of that of Newcastle, which amounted to 35,000. ‘Vhy should not this third be joined to New castle, when Rochester, with 9,888 inhabitants, was united to Chatham and Stroud, with 17,500 Inhabitants, or • population nearly double its number ? Again. the popu lation of Portsmouth was to be lost in that of Porters, which had five times its number of inhabitants. Thus, on the point of jurisdiction, the cases of Gateshead and Newcastle was the same as that of Rochester and Chatham, and on the point of population it a much less favourable condition than Rochester and Chatham, and Portsmouth and Padua. As to the interests of Gateshead being the same as those of Nevce-tle. it was futile to deny it. • Sir C. W ETHER ELL congratulated the "field of coal" on the great viciory it was about to achieve, for to expect the majority to depart from any provision in the bill, however de fective, and however coutrary to its alleged principle, was hop. lese. He blast' extremely the expression of the hon. mem ni ember far Thetford who had called Gateshead, the violet of •elitcluie D. Ile would not fatigue the Committee with des cribing the pcilumcs which this flower would shed over the tchertule. for it was a violetof which it might be said non re dact sedolet. (A laugh.) He would not give the committee a trsnelatiou of this, hut they would concur with him that the ease of this violet was either one of grues partiality or of gross ignorance. Let ministers take their choice. The ma. jenny, he knew, was determined to support the measure through thick and thin ; still would be remind the honourable members that their resolution on the present ewe was to be, or at least was intended to be, final.— (Hear, hear.) Captain STANHOPR supported the motion. AIr.WEY LAND and Lord U. SOMERSET opposed it. Sir H. A RDINGE.—Why should Gateshead, with • population of 12,000, and at a distance of two hundred yards from Newcastle, be separated from that place, whilst Cardiff anil several other places were united with Merthyr ' Tydvil, a place of 30,000 inhabitants, and twenty-five miles distant from Cardiff? (Hear, hear.) Lord ALT HORP said there was no instance in which government had proposed that a borough of the size and wealth of Newcastle should return two members in conjune. don with a place like Gateshead. The case of Hull had been cited. But . that place had beet] united with what was part of the same' town as itself. Portsmouth and Foresee were also under the same jurisdiction. Sir M. W. RIDLEY said, Newcastle bailed with pleasure the granting of a member to Gateshead. nir R. PEEL was not surprised that Newcastle should rejoice that a member should be stun to Gateshead, since it was in fact giving three members to Newcastle instead of two, Gateshead and Newcastle being one and the same place (hear, hear.) They rue in a minority, but it aggravated defeat to be insulted by such arguments (hear). That the Ileums of Commons should be told that a commission, with his Majesty's quarter-master general at ha head, was to decide on the constitution of England. He did not before think that he should advise to divide on any plate in the schedule ; but even if he stood alore he would divide on the creation of giving Newcastle and Gateshead three rem seetatives, for the purpose of recording his opinion more certainl on the question (hear )1 AIr.HARVEY said, the right bon. gentleman, and those who acted with him, bad all along argued that the boroughs in schedule A, though not having 2,000 inhabitants, should have two representatives; and DOW that ministers proposed to give one representative to a town of 12,000 inhabitants in 1821, and that was increased to 10,000, and was a place of great wealth and trade. (Hear, hear, hear.) They say that Gateshead should not have a member, because Merthyr Tydvil, with 24,000, was not to have a member. This then was the basis of the representation of the Pall. mall Cabinet. (Hear, hear, hear.) Well might it be said that there was no democracy ;go wild as the radicalism of Toryism. (Hear, hear, bear.) They asked why, If you gave a representation to* plan of 12,000 inhabitants, why withhold it from those places which had a greater number ? That world be a very proper question from the bon. mem ber for Preston, and might account for the union of the de. mocracy of Preston with their ultra-Toryism. He asked them on what ground they contended that the rotten bo roughs in schedule A should have two representatives, and now refuse it to a place that had 12,000. He would ask them to what number they proposed to give it in their plan of Reform. Gateshead had at this moment. accordili a t: re the turns, between 700 and COO tea-pound househ He would ask those who would refuse it one member, to what attributes of constituency they would give represents. tires ? He thought twelve thousand inhabitants, wealth and iutelligenu, whether in Durham or C s nra l lt were emitted to be represented in that house ? Sir E. SUGDEN, said, the noble lord on the other side, when the measure was introduced, said it was to be final; but their conduct ever since had belied that declaration. It was only by giving perfection to the measure that it could be made final. It was plain from the declaration of many of the supporters of the measure, that they entertained ferent opinions, which they postponed for the purpose of the present measure, with ebe intention of bringing, passing at a future time. He asked, on their own principle, why they should give a member to Gateshead, and not to Merthyr Tydvil, which had a population of 25,000, and was five and twenty miles from Cardiff, to which it was proposed to be united. He thought this was really the worst case that yet came before the committee. (Hear, bear.) Lord ALTHOILP said Merthyr Tydfil was united with other boroughs because that was the established practice in the Welsh borou g hs ; but Merthyr Tydvil, from its pope- lotion, would have a predominance. They had tutended to every suggestion that had been made to them, and had sods& vowed to make the bill conformable to the opinions of Its supporters, and hadisincerely endeavoured to make it, u far as any measure could be, a final meesucr. Lord JAMES STUART said his Noble Prised had tacked the town of Merthyr Tydvil, the most manufacturing town in Wales, to the contributory boroughs of Cardiff and Cowbridge, and be could not but thud' his Noble Friends were doing injustice to his coostituents. Under all the cir cumstances he should give his vote for Gateshead; but he hoped the ministers would do justice to Merthyr 'ldvU, which would be doing justice to the price/polity of Wales.— (Hear, bear.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL said two Members were given by the bill to Glamorgan. In his proposal for improving the representation in 1822, he proposed giving a member to Gateshead. (Hear.) With respect to the measure befog final, he should only say, that must entirely depend on is working well for the people, in which ease he was confident they would not wish to snake any alteration; but if it should be found not to work well, which he did not apprehend, then its supporters could not wish it to be hut. He would ay further, that they honestly endeavoured, or intended, to make it so perfect that it should give due power to the in telligence and property of the country, and should give satisfaction and prosperity to the people. (Hear.) Sir GEORGE MUItRAY said, he was confident the measure could not be final, for it contained within itself the seeds of its own dissolution. (Hear, hear.) He thought Gateshead possessed no claim to representation, and that the cities of Scotland would have great reason to complain. Mr. BARING said it was the first time be bad known Ministers propose any great measure to that house, and re. fuse to listen to discussion.—( Hear, hear.) According to their officious organs, the public press, they might as well come down to the house and demand the passing of the Bill without any discussion.—(Hear, bear.) All who addressed the House in opposition to the Bill were misrepresented or abused by the press; he was described as one who was groaned at and yawned at.— ( A laugh.) He was called one morning a fool and the next a fungus.—(A laugh.) And by the report of his speeches he was represented to say nothing but what was nonsense, for all be said was given in disjointed sentences.

At length France has taken the field, and in support of LEOPOLD against Holland. If Prussia aid Holland, it will lead to a general war; if Prussia does not interfere, it will end in a mere demonstration. This might at first appear to every one to be an effect of a change-in the French Ministry. but THZRZ HAS Bill' NO CHANOZ. The King, a true Bourbon, can find no public men, and no in fluential party, to take office in that subserviency to his own views which he exacts—and, after all, this demonstration about Belgium may be a mere bluster to enable him to retain his subservient Ministry, and then to carry the address in the Chambers, serving at the same time to appease the popular excitement at ono. against Perier and in favour of the Poles. A military movement in support of the alliance of France with Russia, Austria, and Prussia, can in no respect be popular in France, even though the ulterior object may be the demolition of the Belgic fortresses. It is not war, for the sake of war, which the French Liberals have demanded, but war in defence of Poland against Russia, and of Italy against Austria. If then this is another ruse of Perier, to keep his place, and of the King, to keep his Minister, we are persuaded it will have but a twelve hours' effect; and it is already well received in Paris only as an event which may lead to complications likely to force the Government to assist the Poles and Italians. Again, the French, however untruly, regard Leopold as an English Interest ; and though a war to restore the Netherlands to France might have been popular, yet a war to secure what is deemed an English ascendancy in the Netherlands, will, as we think, gain but a few hours respite for the Pe rier Ministry. Beneath we have assembled all that is known in Ideden dowp to, 0,01 o'clock:this afternoon. PARIS, Ton R WAY NIOXT. The King of France received intelligence late on Wednesday night, that on Thursday evening the King of Holland intended to recommence hostilities against Belgium ; and early on Thursday morning a courier reached the French Govern. ment,with an autograph letter from King Leopold, claiming from France the assistanee of an army, to maintain the independence and neutrality which was promised by the Great Powers. At nine o'clock on the same morning the King held a council at the Paige Royal, when all the ministers of Casimir Perier's administration at tended, including the President himself, and thus determined to remain in office under the present emergency, until the debate upon the address in the Chamber of Deputies. It was also resolved that General Girard, at the head of 50,000 French troops, should immediately march to the aid of the King of Belgium. This decision was transmitted on Thursday to the military garrisons in the direction of the northern frontier by the Minister of War, and it was expected th a t before sunset on Thursday this army would be in actual advance upon Belgium. The field equipage of General Girard was leaving Paris, and the General was .10 follow of Friday morning. The following is the official annowtosatant of the Monitestr, published in a second edition on Thurs day afternoon " The King of Holland has denounced the armistice, and announced the resumption of hos tilities against the Belgians, this evening, at half past nine o'clock. " This morning at 5 o'clock, the King has re ceived a letter from the King of the Belgians, who demands of him the aid of a French army. " The King having recognized the independence of the kingdom of Belgium, and her neutrality, in concert with England, Austria, Prussia, and Russia, and the circumstances being urgent, complies with the demand of the King of the Belgians; and will cause the engagements to be respected, which have been taken in common accord with the Great Powers. " Marshal Girard commands the army of the north, which is marching to the aid of Belgium, whose neutrality and independence are to be maintained. " The peace of Europe, disturbed by the king of Holland, shall be consolidated. " Under such circumstances, the Ministry re main ; they will await the answer of the Chamber to the speech of the Crown. " By order of his Excellency the Minister of Finances.

POSTC RTIPT.—A telegraphic despatch received this morning, at 10 o'clock, announces that an en gagement has already taken place at Ghent between the Belgian and Dutch troops.

As yet there is no administration re-organized ; all business and general credit are at a stand.— At 8 o'clock yesterday evening, while a council was sitting at the Palais Royal, a large body of young men, most of them well dressed, rushed into the court, under the windows of the King, and vociferated " Long live Poland," " Down with the Ministers." The National Guards and companies of the line on duty marched out, the gates were shut, and the crowd was gradually pressed by the soldiers into the side-walks, and then out through the small passages. While this operation was performing, bands of people, mostly in working dresses, were shouting the Parisienne and Marseilloise ; but the young men who were well dressed, and who seemed to be chiefly stu dents, confined their bawling to cries in favour of Poland, and against the Ministry. Shortly after the Palais Royal was cleared, very strong picquets, in fact whole regiments of cavalry, paraded the adjoining streets, the quays, and the neighbourhood of the exchange; they sometimes drove at a gentle trot, but the crowds every where yielded without violence. In the rue Vivienne, where there was a good retreat at hand, through the passages, I observed several well-dressed young men form for a moment in the middle of the street, and call on the people to maintain their ground, exclaiming, " Are we to be trampled upon for a manifestation of opinion, and that in favour of the heroic Poles ?" The people on the pathways loudly shousod. " Long live Poland ;" and from what I sow .1 the nods and assenting gesture of the cavalry and infantry as they moved through the crowd, it was easy to believe that the popular cry was responded to by the military. As French crowds always break into small eddying circles, it was curious to listen to the extravagant gossip in which spokes men indulged. I beard one of them insisting that France had now 1,500,000 men under arms, and ought to save Poland. The French Government are said to have been apprised of the existence, for nearly three months, of a dark and treacherous conspiracy, in which Holland Is supported and Instigated by hunk and Russia, to embroil France and Rag land in the adjustment of the affairs of Belgians. I know that, at a very early hour this morning, Baron Pagel, the Dutch Minister, was in close conclave with Geo. Sebastiani, and that the latter, after the interview, went direct to the Palace. I also learn that, for several days, Marshal Souk has been very active in pointing the march of Flash troops towards the line of the frontier. Indeed, one French regi ment h said to have actually passed it, but amp% siismke. The incessant communications of late between the King and General NNW. sad Imam ibe Minister for lkstaigii Af fairs sad the Dumb Savoy, wadi modal) indicate the ap proach of sone movenmen, of which the esplosion is at hand."—Jesirmal des Debate. At 10 o'clock this morning the King held &no.' ther council at the Palais Royal, upon the subject of the formation of a new ministry, which sat for nearly three hours. This council was attended by the whole of the ministers of the Casimir Perier administration. Count Mole was also there. Owing to the urgency of the despatches of last night from Brussels, it was unanimously determined by the ministry, to retain office until after the address, which will probably be discussed on Saturday. The publication of this intelligence necessarily depressed the funds, the commercial impression being, that the King of Holland would never pro voke this contest, were he not secretly backed by Prussia and Russia. The effect upon the people of the " movement" by this news is, of course, ea thasiastic. They look upon it as the re-action of public opinion to restore the French interests in Belgium, and to cause a diversion in favour of glo rious P oland. All ere also are here turned upon the movements of Sir Edward Codrington's fleet, and the steps to be taken by the British Cabinet upon this intimation of the march of the French army into Belgium. Generals Excelmans, Lamarque and wend other distinguished o ffi cers, have m ade a tender of their services. The Gazette d'Etat of Berlin of the 29th, has arrived ; but without any decisive news from the seat of war in Poland. The cholera iambus is, however, making frightful ravages; it is increas ing at Warsaw, Pillau, Tilsit, Konigsberg, Posen, Grandenz, and Elbing. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. PARIS, AUG. 4.--At half-put nine o'clock this night, hostilities, it appears, are to recommence between the Dutch and the Belgians. The French troops have orders to march immediately to the support of the latter. Such is the amount of a laconic postscript, and (dated half-past 11 o'clock last night) published In the Journal des Debate of this day, and which has ahead y (nine o'clock, a.m.) thrown all persons into a ferment. Recollecting the series of unworthy tricks prac tised on the public mind within the last 10 or 12 days, it is impossible without an abandanosat of all reasonable caution, to credit all at once the ob postscript o f 11 .. viola purport of this demi-official Journal des Debats. Up to this moment no Ministry exists. r et short intervals, occupied the entire of yesterda‘ but nothing was done ; a result at which th ose „j ; know in what manner the presence of the Ki n ,. acts upon the deliberative faculties of his Couns e l lore will feel no surprise. His Majesty naturally leadingitisP priinbelei avoid or ss looks for a Cabinet, the sentiments o f which will be in perfect correspondence with his own, end aaill have n 0 00t it. othe r, so Majesty's khng as er le is said to be, whether truly or falsely I cannot s a y, "/a pair, route qui mute." Now, although the re are in the Chamber more than a sufficiency of i a . dividuals who concur in this, or would conct:r in Inv other sentiments of the King, yet eympathy ,oi ancy acquiesce nce, do not comprise the requisite qualities for a Minister. To secure men competent to bu siness, and yet with opinions in unison with tali own, has been found impossible on this oc cas i on by Louis Philippe. Overtures were therefore made to the cote gauche, but coupled with provisions and stipulations w hit* that party rejected, convinced, whether correctly or incorrectly, that at no distant day the King must throw himself into their arms. From a circumstance just now communicated to me I am inclined to believe that the composition of the new ministry will be left to Marshal &ult. A " rather liberal" ministry will, probably, be the work of the marshal, and, with a war to occupy the Public mind, such a Government might get on; but without a war no species of ministry, other than decided, could maintain itself during a month. No decided ministry will be at this instant ap pointed, and, coupled with the extravagancies of a Chamber which, on the same day, elects Dupont de l'Eure and rejects Lafitte, which chooses Alexander Delaborde, Real, and Portalis, almost in the same breath with Dupla (the elder), Delessert, and Cunin-Gridaine, promises a new succession of weaknesses, inconsistencies, and tumults. We have had some scenes in Paris on each of the last two evenings. Crowds collected round the pavilions in the garden of the Palais Royal, at which the journals are lent, in order to ascertain the latest news, and then to resolve themselves, as on all former occasions of excitement, into clubs or groups. Poland—devoted Poland—was the theme of all. " Our Ministers have betrayed the Poles—betrayed us !" " Poland for ever!" " War with Russia !" " Death to the Rus- sians !" " Down with the Ministers !" " To the Palais !" were the commentaries and the exclamations of the readers, and they ran down the garden, and into the court-yard of the Palais, to entertain the King with a repetition of them. On each occasion they were with some dif ficulty expelled the Court-yard, and not without blows that will lead to mischief. Last night, shortly after 10 o'clock, the garden itself was cleared, and the grilles closed. Thus ejected, the erowds formed in the Rues Montansier, Valois, Vivienne, and Neuve des Petits Champs, but were forced close to the walls at each side by charges of cavalry. The performance closed with the Marseilloise and the Parisienne chaunted most infernally. The impression produced by the second edition of the Aloniteur, upon 'Change, and among bankers, deputies, diplomatists, journalists--in fins, among all classes of men competent to form opinions, is the same—namely, that a general war is inevitable.— Troops have already marched from Paris towards the north. Marshal Girard will have reached Belgium to-morrow. He will have under his com mand, in the first instance, an army of 40,000 men. This event has been long foreseen by the French government. An army of the amount just mentioned can be assembled within a very few days. Ample supplies of every description have been stored in the fortresses on the French northern frontier. The French party is still strong in Belgium. If it declare for France, now or ultimately, the King of the French DARR NOT again reject their offered fraternity. If, on the other hand, this be really a step, taken independently by the French Govern ment, Prussia and Austria will disapprove of the interference of the French, and then will an open rupture take place. The best-informed persons yesterday believed a war to be unlikely, even were the cote gauche to have the reins of Government placed in their hands ; and no party here is in clined for a war that would embroil France with England : but here is an event left by us com pletely out of contemplation. You will perceive that the Perier administration is to remain in power until after the address in an swer to the King's speech shall have been discussed and agreed to. If, uis probable, a strong majo rity of the Chamber shall approve of the views, and pledge itself to support the system of that ministry, M. Perier and his friends will remain in power, but will, no doubt, be modified. _ . Ton Low, Jima' 26.—The Eclipse brig, Lieu* tenant An;onx, arrived yesterday from Navin, from which place it sailed on the lit; it bad on board some Italian refugees. It brought some de spatches, which were delivered buttell to the Prefect of the Marine. It seems that the Govern ment of Count Capo d'lstrias is daily rowing weaker, from the effects of the insurrection ; and it will probably fall entirely, unless it receives speedy succour. It is said that General Schneider has asked the French Government for an additional number of troops. Three hundred men have already been sent on board the Rhone transport ; these men are drafted from the 3d battalion of the 21st Regiment of Light Infantry, which is here to reconnoitre. The same batallion will, in a few days, land 300 men more. PA 11111 . ; AUG. 1.--Unpleasant news respecting the situation of our army at Algiers has been cir culated on 'Change. It was said that the model farm had been burnt, and that the city was closely invested by the Arabs, in order to reduce it. Ge neral Berthezine is said to have ordered a sally of the garrison at different points. Prow Gaiiguaor a Miumegn• of Thussies. According to letters from Madrid, of the 25th ult. the decree depriving Cadiz of its privileges ss a fres port hes been suspended.

The Committee divided. For the resolution, 264; against it, 160.—Majority for : Ministers, 104. The following places were then severally voted to stand part of schedule D, without opposition :—Hallfax Hud dersfeld, Kidderminster, Macclesfield, Oldham, R ochdale, Salford, South Shields, Stockport, Smoke-upon-Tint, Tyne mouth. Kendal, on the suggestion of Mr. CROZZR, wasposponed till to-morrow. He wished to offew some observations, and thought it then too late commence a debate. Warrington, which followed, was also agreed to. Whitby was nextproposed, end agreed to. Whitehaveu was then proposed—it is the last in the list —and at the suggestion of Mr. CfOkef It was postponed till the next meeting of the Committee. The House resumed. Lord ALTHORP moved that the Committee sit again to.day. Mr. GOULDURN opposed the motion. Those with whom he acted had postponed motions to sCord opportunity for proceeding with this bill; and he therefore thought this was an uneourteous return for such concession. How. he Ministers carried on the Government he knew not ; bat this continuous muting left no time for private affairs, even if strength could hold out. Lord ALTHORP was surprised at opposition from this quarter, knowing the industry and activity of the right bon. gentleman. He had meant this proposition from the most courteous feeling, knowing that many gentlemen were de sirous of leaving omn. He only wished to afford the amplest opportunity for di.enssion. Sir J. WROTTESLEY was quite ready to meet on Sa turday, especially as there was nothing else to do but to attend to the reform bill. . —...........— —... Lord STORMONT Raid he wu neatly worn out on this reform bill, and hoped they would afford a little rest. Colonel SI BTIIORP said, there was already a re.action, and if time were only afforded, this detestable reform bill would be thrown over. Lord MILTON trusted the house would proceed this day. Sir E. PEEL protested against the meeting. Jaded as they were. it was impossible to attend properly to the bill. He would not, however, resort to the means by minorities, but in reality, no time was by the pro ceeding. Sir C. WETHERELL also protested against the meeting to-day.; and also Lard Ebringion, Mr. J. Martin, Sir H. Hardinge, 4kc- The motion was carried, and the bill ordered to be re committed this day. The other orders of the day were then postponed or dis posed of, and the House adjourned at half past One o'clock. EVENING STAR. .
