This day despatches were received at the Colonial Office from Lieutenant-General Sir G. LOWRY COLE, Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, dated the 16th of March. Lord MILTON has published an admirable exposition of his own active patriotism, and a most satisfactory refutation of the splenetic accusations of the despairing faction. Lord A LTHORP'S addresses to the freeholders, are admirable dis plays of that frank integrity which marks his whole public character. Last night, Mr. CA RTWTIG HT was 124 behind Lord MILTON, on the whole poll. The French Papers, which we have received by the estafette of this morning, and the German Papers, received by the mail, extracts from which we give in a subsequent column, contain much important information regarding the east of Europe. The basis of the whole —an insurrection ary civil war in Turkey—has been repeatedly mentioned in the foreign journals for the last six weeks ; but the facts have never come so authentically before the public. They are probable to produce great influential results, as connected with the present state of the other parts of Europe. All politicians were astonished at the supineness of the SULTAN, for not himself availing of this opportunity to extricate himself from the Russian yoke ; but, although he has not done so, it appears that accident is calling men of enterprise into activity, that may prove his pacific policy, not so safe as he might imagine. It appears, by a communication from Belgrade of the 30th ultimo, that MUSTAPIIA of Scutari is about to attack the Grand VIZIER, REDSCIIID PACH A, and that the Alba nians are now in full march upon Bitoglia. On the other hand, we find, by an article from the Fron tiers of Turkey, which is dated the 2d instant, that HUSSEIN PASHA has left Adrianople, at the head of thirty thousand men, to proceed to the assistance of the Grand Vizier, who was supposed at the time to be surrounded at Bitoglia. The civil war in Turkey, which is thus assuming a very serious character, does not confine itself to the pro vinces, in the immediate vicinity of the capital. It has extended to Greece ; and it appears, by private advice', from Prevesa, that fourteen thousand young Greeks have proceeded to join the insurgent corps, having sworn to avenge themselves for the death of some Greek Captains, WilOM REDSCIIID PACH A rashly condemned at Janina. These events have created a great sensation at Constantinople; and the SULTAN has made an appeal to all true NI usselmans,J to take up arms and march against the rebels. We have only to add, that the attention of the Cabinet at Vienna has been directed towards Turkey ; and that the public securities in that city have been materially affected by the distracted state of the East. In Belgium, the pugnacious conduct of the Dutch, in holding the citadel of Antwerp, and making it a means of annoying and injuring that fine city, seems likely to provoke a renewal of general hostilities. In the mean time, the Belgian Government has addressed a conciliatory appeal to the Dutch Government, which all our readers would yester day peruse with pleasure. If war still results, no reason able man in Europe can blame the Belgians, and all the responsibility must attach to the Dutch Government. In truth, the KING of Holland, governed by the pride of Courts, and depending on 'Foreign Alliances, has, in all these negotiations acted at least ungraciously. Of the forbearance of the popular Government, there have been so many proofs, that it excites at once admiration and astonishment. What would the people of England have to say, if the ST us wrs, when they were expelled in 1688, had retained possession of Windsor Castle (Maestricht), and the Tower of London (Antwerp) ? and how we should have admired the forbearance of our forefathers, if instead of expelling the enemy by force of arms, they bad from feelings of humanity ? sought the surrender by a nine months' negociation.— Yet such has been the humane forbearance of the Belgic Government and People ! So also in regard to Lux emburgh, the question is exactly the same, as though JA YES Tfl E SECON D, after his expulsion, had insisted on retaining Yorkshire, because forsooth he bad been Duke of YORK. SKREZYNICKI'S dispatches of May 2, and DW ER ?di ca i's report, give us a full account of Polish affairs down to the beginning of the month ; and as to results. confirm our previous information through other channels. It apr ears by the modest statements of DwERNICKI, that lie had in various affairs occasioned great losses to the Russians ; but the increase of their forces obliged him to fall back into a corner of Podolia, where he took up a strong position, unassailable on three sides, and secured on the other by the immediate proximity of the neutral Austrian territory. This neutrality, however, the Russians disregarded, and com menced operations on the neutral ground, which the Aus trians were not strong enough to oppose ; and in consequence, Dw z ay tot f abandoned his position, and threw his entire corps into the protection of the Austrians. He then ap peals to the Government, to exert the means of diplomacy, 0 effect relief under the Law of Nations; but we fiat It will be to appeal to the discretion of the tyger against the rapacity of the bear. Austrian accounts tell us. that they are to be detained in Hungary and Gallicia ; but, we may reasonably suppose, that the greater part will soon again recruit the ranks of their countrymen. Nor in a popular war will the temporary loss of their services be felt ; and the only ill effect will be the moral impression of the disaster, and the power which it gives the Russians of crossing the Upper Vistula. If, as reported, the Poles have taken Ostrolenka on the left, it cuts off the direct communication of the main army with Petersburgh, and establishes a communication with the patriots in Lithuania. It would be an achievement of far greater military importance than the failure of Dw Ear; Icza's expedition in the South East, and would force MEDIUMS' to cross the Bug. We yesterday inserted, from the popular paper of France, and first journal in Europe, the EDITOR'S view of the state of Europe. We, too, have our views, and we will briefly exhibit them. We agree with him, that the old leaven was brought into action by the glorious counter-revolution of July in France ; that Russia, Prussia, Austria, and the whole tribe of Ger man despots, were eager to take the field, and put down the freedom of the French Chambers, the independence of election, and the liberty of the press, in such a country, and one so geographically posited as France ; and that the plot was arrested by the expulsion of the Anti-Reform and TORT party from the British Cabinet; for without British subsidies, armies could not be put in motion, and hence their movements were suddenly arrested. 4, the Behold this, peoplo of Britain !—and thank HEAVEN for your deliverance. If the Anti-Reform Party had con tinued in power, you would have had to submit to further mortgages of your estates and industry, to Jews and Stock-jobbers, to enable the Despots of Europe to invade France and restore CHARLES the TENTH—the only suit able Trustee of their Policy. 'Tis true, we have not the money, but we have a fraction of immortgaged property remaining ; and it was coolly calculated that there was a party in England, and a Parliamentary System strong enough, and bigotted enough, to demand and extort this last sacrifice. Accordingly, in the autumn, we heard the note of prepa ration—officers and recruits were not wanted—and we had accounts of marches and counter-marches. DIEBITSCII journeyed from Petersburgh to Berlin, and Couriers were flying all over Europe. France was unprepared; but she sent military ambassadors to all the courts, as better qualified to report on preparations ; and if any thing could justify the employment of such a man as TALLEY RAN D, it was all the circumstances, which at this time conspired, to confide the court of London to so experienced an intriguer. Our ministerial prints—our Couriers, and the like—were engaged in sounding alarms. Algiers was put forward to arouse public jealousy ; civil war was announced in France ; doubts and surmises of all kinds were beginning to be circa lated—when, thanks to King WiLusx—everlasting thanks to him—he resolved to receive the French ambassador, and turned his bark on an administration, ready and even anxious to abet another twenty years war. Wiser Statesmen were readily found to take their places; the principle of non-intervention was adopted and proclaimed; and the conspiring DESPOTS, after much coqueting, received the Ambassadors of Louis PHILIPPE, by the voice and choice of the people, King of PRANCE ! Nevertheless the old allies of the Continental DESPOTS were still strong in the British Parliament. When elected, the popular Constituencies in England had not such dangers before:their eyes; and had returned many inflexible Tories, out of the 240 popular representatives ; while the Boroughs chiefly held by Tory proprietors had returned 270 of kindred, or uncertain principles; besides a cloud of Scotch ones, seeking for prey like hungry wolves ; and a moiety of Irish ones of the same class. Here again, there fore, KING WILLIAM came to the relief of the civilized world ; and, by dissolving such a parliament, has enabled his people to return members pledged, not only to restore our ancient liberties, but to secure us against being again the dupes of war, for the restoration of despotism. Happily, too, at this juncture, Russian despotism, flushed by victories over the unskilful Turks, trampled on the rights and liberties of Poland, and provoked that brave people, not merely to refuse being the advanced guard on the Rhine, but to destroy the Russian hosts sent to overwhelm them. Prussia, in the mean time, has been training, disciplining, marching, and garrisoning ; and Austria, held in abeyance from the want of British subsidies, has been quartering her superfluous corps on the unfortunate Italians. Spain has also done her utmost in the kindred cause, and Holland has been blowing the trumpet every where—even in London so late as Wednesday and to-day, having, it seems, in spite of adverse reports, wherewithal to pay the trumpeter 1 France, in the mean time, has been recruiting and train ing; thereby adding such force to negociation, that Aus tria—risum teneatis ?—is now proposing a general disarm ing ! She finds her armies too expensive ; and here again, We ejaculate our thanks, our ETERNAL GRATITUDE, TO KING WILLIAM. But we hope that France will not dis band a corporal's guard, till she has wearied these hostile Courts—till she has secured the Belgians, Italians, and Poles—and till she has shewn the world, that she (thanks again to KING WILLIAK), has caught the Despots in their own snare! If in all those points the French people charge us, and the people of England, with throwing the burthen of armies on them, and the defence of Poland and Belgium and Italy on their prowess, while we merely look on—we reply, that the PEOPLE of ENGLAND have done, and are doing their duties—they have been as usual the first in the field; and they have gained great victories over the allies and main props of despotism : in one word, they have been fighting the BOROUGH MONGERS ; and, LED on by KING WILLIAM, HAVE UTTERLY ROUTED AND DEFEATED THEM! Let France play her part with equal energy, and we may calcu late on peace, through our days, accompanied by all practical ameliorations in the future condition of the deserving people of Europe. A letter from Cracow, of the 4th May, states that titaxurscif has felt the greatest difficulty in advancing on Praga : he has completely failed in all his plans to pats the Vistula : he is nearly starved to death for want of provi sions ; and upon mustering his materiel, he found that all the pontoons in which he proposed to pass the river, had been burnt by the Poles. General CHLOPICILI has been completely restored to health and strength, and was daily expected at Warsaw. volt THE STAR. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE EXCLUSIVE. PARIS. Wzmtzeo AY. 1 1 The late venerable Labbey de Pompieres had completed his 81st year. For the last four months the state of his health would no longer permit him to take part in the busi ness of the Chamber. This new loss will plunge the patriots in mourning. The man who had constituted himself the champion of cheap government, whose simplicity of manners and republican frankness had caused him to be surnamed The Tribune of the People, will leave a void in our legis lative assemblies, which will be difficult to fill. Like Ben jamin Constant, he bad seen with grief scattered to the minds a revolution, the heroic work of the people; like him he died, with the regret of not having assisted at the regeneraration which was the day dream of his life. Hope even abandoned bin', in his last moments. Hope it alas forms no longer a portion of the fortune of France, which has arrived at the point of the Polignacs and the Charlcses X ! The long career of Labbey de Pompieres has been that of a worthy man, and an inflexible patriot. The hommage of his fellow citizens has been his recompense ; the venerable Tribune wished for no other. May gratitude and popular sympathy accompany him to his last home, and place his name in our hearts by the side of those of Manuel and Benjamin Constant. Labbey de Pompieres leaves no sons. His grand-daughter is married to M. Odilon Banat, who follows so worthily his venerable footsteps, and raises by such pure talents the energy of his patriotism.—La Revolution. The uneasiness of the Russian government upon the ac count of the individuals nominated to the posts raised in the Russian Governments, formerly Polish, is so great, that changes take place nearly every fortnight; the nomination of young Rimsky-Korsakoff to the government of Wolhynia will not last long. He was not a stranger to the Russian conspiracy of 1825. The army of Lithuania amounts to nearly 30,000 men, under arms. Two neighbouring pow ers desire eagerly to intervene in our affairs by the way of negociations. Our diplomatists keep themselves in reserve, and have done RO some time ; but after having received dis patches from London, its attitude has become as firm as imposing; it is to that power, for whom we have done nothing, that we have all to hope from, whilst France, who has at all times received so much from us, remains mute and insensible to the last moment. Notwithstanding the will of the Emperor Nicholas, of naming to the command of the grand army of reserve Russian generals, so great is the scarcity that lie has found but one, so that he is obliged to have recourse to the Germans ; and, except the Russian commander in-chief Tolstoi, all the other superior officers are the d'Auvrays, the Kleinmichels, the Kotzebuet, the Lowensterns. The true Russians are more and more offended at this outrage made to Muscovite vanity.—Constitutiunnel. La Gazette de France says, that William IV. is sacri ficing the repose of England to his thirst for popular ap plause, and adds—" Let us please him in his own way— let us proclaim him the greatest of Kings, and so he will be for us, if, by placing the people of England in opposi tion to that aristocracy which, as formerly in Venice, constitutes the real strength of the country, he occasions the annihilation of the most clever but most treacherous of Governments." It then calls on the whole of Europe to take advantage of the state of confusion in which England will inevitably be placed, and revenge themselves for the manner in which every country has been in turn sacrificed to the interests of Great Britain. It calls on Germany to offer an asylum to the numerous artisans who will shortly be without work ; on France to secure Algiers ; on Denmark to retake Heligoland ; on Holland to regain its ancient colonies; on Portugal to form an alliance with Spain; on Austria to seize the seven islands; on America to claim a port in the Mediterranean; and on all the Powers to unite in driving the English from Malta and assisting Ireland, India, and Canada to establish their independence. " Such," it continues, " should be the price which Eng land should pay for the theatrical plaudits with which the King chuses to regale himself, and such it would be if the other nations of Europe would come to a proper under standing among themselves. Sinking under the weight of an enormous debt, burdened with a population of pau pers, composed of three separate kingdoms, all repugnant to each other, the existence of Great Britain is a prodigy only to be accounted for by the power of its aristocracy and the skill of its Government," It then argues that, as the success of the Reform question will annul the power of the aristocracy, the dissolution of the whole social body must follow, and the ruin of England will be consummated; and concludes by remarking that if William IV. were really actuated by a love of his peo ple and a conviction of the justice of liberal institutions be would show it by conferring on Hanover, where he has no Parliament to controul him, those privileges which his predecessor, at the Congress of Vienna, bound himself to confer. But this he refuses, and turning a deaf ear to the well founded complaints of his Hanoverian subjects, listens only to the senseless shouts of the English mob. Le National treats the idea of an agreement between the Great Powers to disarm as a theoretical absurdity. It re marks, that of the five Great Powers, three only are ex clusively European ; Russia and England have interests which embrace the other quarters of the globe; it would therefore be absurd to ask those nations to deprive them 7 selves of the power of pursuing their conquests or carrying on their schemes in other parts of the world, unconnected with Europe; and yet, if Russia is to keep her army, and England her navy, on a war footing, for the sake of their remote projects, what security can the other nations feel, that, if they disarm, advantage will not be taken, soontir or later, of their unprepared state. La Quotidienne.—From the first moment of the revolu tion, its advantages have passed from the hands of the men of July, who were the authors of it, into those of the doc trinaires, who took no part in it. M. Casimir Perier, who is the representative of the latter class, attacks the former on every occasion : it is true that anarchy must be the only state of things which can emanate from men who fought for anarchy ; and M. Perier, in opposing them, proclaims loudly that order cannot result from the revolution of July,—and there we agree with him. Le Temps continues to detach itself more and more from the present ministry. Gil EEC e.—Mo DON April 26.—The president of Greece Capo d'lstrias, arrived here on Sunday, the 24th, from Nau plia, on board a steam-boat. His suite consisted in a Lieutenant-Colonel, dressed it. la Frangaise, and four Grecian gendarmes. Yesterday the officers of the garrison, with General Shneider at their head, went to pay him a visit. The President then delivered to them an address, in which he earnestly recommends them to be indulgent towards the Greeks, " with whom," said be, " it is neces sary to have much patience; for, since three years that lie hubee h n is n pla ced ios e s ad e exertions, aff a irs tio a , hile Gree ce , hutt yetnotwith standing b een nor re to o to t obtain ake thatvtcehryedupto!pfalectoouryt ofres (In uits for ry civ an iliza d s ti t o a n te , of debasement to which they were reduced by the horrid despotism of the Turks." It is thought that his journey is a disguised cht, occasioned by the disturbances that have occurred at the place of his residence. A Grecian patriot has informed me that a revolution was organizing in Greece and the interior of the Mores.— w t anyr s e a t strenuou s e tnhueo h ead that the tri-coloured standard has already been hoisted is different places, and that the inhabitants refused to pay t h, taxes, particularly at Maine. Those dispositions are said to be caused by the administrative measures taken by the Pi e . sident, which have excited general discontent. If the i n . surgents succeed, he will be tried as a traitor to his count, %. He is accused of having so curtailed the limits of Greco . •, that no Prince could be prevailed upon to accept the Crow „ of Greece. DESPATCHES OP THE POLISH GENERALs. •• TO THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT. •' THE COMBIANDERAN.CHIEF OF THE ARMY. " In the completion of my report of the 28th of April, I ha; e the honour to communicate to the National Government, that in tt.e battle decided on the 28th near Ruflow, Colonel Dembinski, with the 4th re. giment of the cavalry of Pedlar.Etc, two squadrons of the let regiment of Masovia, 21 battalions of infantry, and four field pieces of liAl , l attn. lery, supported by an advantageous position, sustained a continued cum. bat with the front of the enemy's main army, under a eninolarle 1 I:; field pieces, commanded by the Field.marahal in person. At leng.l , , receiving orders, he withdrew towards Ceglou. In thisair cur len amounted to 18 killed, among whom was one officer, and 23 sountitd. " Major Potkanski, of the Quarter-Master's Staff and Captain Sudlucki, of the 4th regiment of Mullins, particularly distinguibhtl themselves. _ . _ " In the contest with the rear-guard in Minsk, Gen. Gielgua had 8 battalions of infantry, 6 field-pieces, and 12 of smaller c.dthre. H. position was behind Minsk, and he occupied the town with one hatter. lion. Before Minsk Gen. C. Skarzynski was posted with the 21 Re. giment of Cavalry Jagers, and the 3d Regiment of lancers, under the command of Gen. Keiki, with 4 cannon of the l'e Battery of Light Horse Artillery : the remaining part of his division stood behind Minsk on the left wing of Gen. Gielgua. The enemy approached the se ..d; town of Ciglou, and at 11 adn. his columns began to issue from c'te woods and to attack our cavalry, which sustained the first assault. But as the whole corps of General Pahlen developed Itself, which was alone more titan double the strength of our whole rear-guard, General Ski. nynaki withdrew on his position on the other side of Minsk. " General Gielgua, after having repulsed the false attacks of the enemy during two hours, was pursued, and, perceiving tbat the number of Russians continually increased, commenced his retreat in &Idiot, according to instructions, without obstruction, and in the most perfect order, to Stojadlo and liemby wieiki. I cannot extol too highly the prudence of General Gielgua, as well as the army ; the retreat was ef. fected stilt great courage and coolness. The half-battery, commanded by Lieut. Przizdzieeki particularly distinguished himself in the contest at Minsk. This day we lost, in killed, 3 officers and 85 privates and su balterns ; in wounded, 8 officers, and 184 privates and subalterns ; among the former is Lieutenant-Colonel Joski. From the concealed nod previously chosen position of our artillery, its operation was destruc.ive , and produced incomparably greater loss to tie enemy. According to the report of the Russian prisoners, Colonel Botysson, of the Artil lery, is killed, and Lieut.-General Skobelef and Major Phesze dangerously wounded : General Pablen the commander of the corps. received a severe contusion. " After tile contest at Minsk, I occupied the position at Demby, where I expected the enemy. 1 determined to accept battle, which it appeared to me he was willing to give, for I could not otherwise ex plain an offensive movement effected with his whole force, which he seemed to assemble explessly near Demby. In the night of the 29th, contrary to my expectation, the enemy commenced a retrograde motion. Our advanced guard immediately pursued him, and brought in prisoners from all sides. " In the night of the 30th of April, Lieutenant Sierawski, with 30 of the sth thasseurs.a-clieval, fell unexpectedly on the rear of a whole regiment of Cossacks, near Tezebusza, killed a great number, made many prisoners, and dispersed the remainder in the neighbouring forests. " Since 1 have confided the command of the army, which was on the left bank of the Vistula, to General Dzickenski, he has had several successful skirmishes in the provinces of Lublin, which have produced us no loss, but occasioned considerable to the enemy in killed, wounded, and prisoners; besides, a sum of 7,156 Polish florins has been retaken from the Government chests, and forwarded to the National Treasury. " On the retreat of the enemy, vestiges of great devastation ap peared every where. Our soldiers were struck with horror to witness the traces of Russian barbarity—their rage extends even to inanimate objects, as houses furniture, Am. Places of worship are not respected ; the Church of Olexin has been completely pillaged, and the abode of the clergyman burnt. " Sometimes, however, the leaders of the army show feeling and humanity : I am gratified to acknowledge it, and render them justice —for instance, the Field Marshal finding about 50 of our wounded in Minsk, ordered them to be taken care of. The conduct of Ge neral Knots has been noble towards the officers made prisoners in the corps commanded by General Sierawski ; but it is, on the other hand, painful for me to report that the enemy, contrary to his solemn promise, has sent away two of our physicians, who had been s. nt expressly to the hospital in Mienie, to superintend patients afflicted with cholera morbus. In respect to the operations in Volhynia, I have the honour to communicate to the National Government the report of General Dwernicki. "REPORT OF GENERAL DWERNICKI. "I left Druskopol the Inth of April, and arrived at Boman!, Ronan town on the left bank of the river Styr, at noon on the sans* day. I immediately gave orders to reconstruct the bridge, which the enemy had destroyed on his retreat. " This order being executed in four hours, I commanded a thick forest, situated on the other side of the river, to be occupied with a battalion of infantry, through which a read led to the enemy's camp. " I employed the whole of the 17th to make observations, and to assure myself of the Russian force, which I was able to ascertain from personal observation amounted to 12,000 regular troops in infantry and cavalry, supported by 22 cannons. "At day-break on the 18th, the enemy pressed on the forest, guarded by one of our battalions, with his whole infantry, eight battalions strong, seeking to operate the passage of the bridge ; he brought for. ward six pieces of artillery, protected by which he expected to acne plish his object, but after a cannonade continued during several hours on both sides, he found himself thwarted and could not succeed. During the night be had four pieces of artillery dismounted, and our grape-shot operating on the masses of infantry advancing from the forest, produced enormous loss. On our side 15 were wounded, amongst whom were two officers and Major Bzymanuki slightly. " On the 19th, the enemy having taken possession of the forest with a strong force of infantry and artillery, conducted his main force to the villages of Chryliki and Krasne, a mile distant from Boremel, where he passed the river, and concentrated his force near Nowosielki, on the left bank. Having left my infantry and two cannon to obstruct the enemy's passage of the bridge, I went to meet these masses, commanded by General Rudiger. I detached six squadrons to guard the road to Berestanko, in case he should make an attack on me in that position, which I supposed to be his intention. " The combat commenced by a well-supported fire from all the ewe. my's artillery, of which the 94th, highly celebrated in the Turkish campaign, made part. " These were answered by eight-pounders only of ours, the remain der being actively employed in other positions. " Two brave charges executed by my cavalry, who, in forming, sung Thou wilst not yet, dear Poland, perish,' threw the enemy back be yond the village of Nowosielki in the greatest disorde-, where he col lected his dispersed columns and sought refuge in the adjoining woods: the advanced hour of the night did not allow me to pursue them further. We took eight cannons, of which three are so much damaged as to be unfit for service. His loss in killed is very considerable, as there ass 800 wounded, among whom is General Plackoff, mortally. We have made, moreover, 100 prisoners, among them is Major Piotrowski , of the dragoons, and many officers of inferior rank. On our side two offi cers are severely wounded and taken prisoners; 50 privates and sub alterns killed or made prisoners,and eight officers and 60 privates and subalterns wounded. " After having thus removed the obstacles made by the enemy to my advance, I passed the night on the field of battle, which I quitted at break of day on the 20th, to proceed to Berestcisko, where I passed the Styr at a fetid, and encamped near Cholyn. In the morning of the 21st I arrived at Rasiwilow, on idle 22e1 at Tares, and on the 23d at Kolodno. " In the camp at Kolodno, April 24. " The General of Division, DWKRNICKI.

" In approaching Povyck, I fell in with a regiment of dragoons be longing to the corps of General Rudiger, which were beaten. Rudiger passed the St, and burnt the bridge leading from Kane to Bora tumu where be took a position. I constructed a bridge by Boromel • where the advanced guard passed ; but I was compelled to retreat, sv the enemy brought several battalions and seven cannons against us. Rudiger went with his whole corps over Chryniki, near Hormel. whets I met him, and had a battle, when I took seven cannon, and made 100 prisoners. The enemy had 18,000 men, and were not able to impede our advance. • "On yeaterday .1 went to Berutecsko, and crossed the Sty.
