The intelligence from Italy of the insurrections which have almost simultaneously broken out in several of the great towns, which we first communicated to the public, and have, for the last three days, noticed almost exclu sively, now begins to receive the reluctant credit of our cotemporaries. Our intelligence has been derived from the French papers, and its authenticity appears to have been doubted ; but surely no events have been more expected than this insurrection, and we shall be surprised to find that this should turn out to be unfounded. We believe that, on the contrary, they will prove to be the result of a generally disseminated spirit of revolt, extending through Piedmont, and all the Italian States ; and which has been long preparing for explosion. We hope the insurrections may prove as complete as their previous arrangements, as to be at once successful, and not occasion any waste of patriotic blood. Many months ago, we gave accounts, on the authority of a Piedmontese docu ment, of a widely extended Revolutionary plan, then pre paring in the Italian States ; of which these events are, in reality, the confirmation. There are private accounts in town this day from Toulon, stating that ships will be ready to sail from that port by the middle of March ; another expedition is expected to be fitted out at the same time, from Brest, under the command of the famous Ric x Ir. The destinations of these expedi tions are not stated in the letters which we have perused ; and the motives which govern these great preparations " still remain to be known." Petitions were last night presented in the Housa 01 , LORDS against the Truck System, signed by 14,000 persons in and near Bilston ; in favour of Parliamentary Reform, and against the Tythe System. Others against the Legislative Union with Ireland ; and, from the observations of Lords ICING and LONDONDERRY, it is to be feared that some years must elapse before their Lordships will feel with i the Irish people. The CHANCELLOR presented a petition of 4,500 Merchants, &c. of London, against the administration of the Bankrupt Laws ; and we are sorry to say not against their principle, which alone is the cause of injury. The BISHOP OP Lox DON took occasion to state, that the average of clerical provision was but 1851. per annum, and of Archdeaconries but 1001; while the tithes which reached the clergy did not exceed 2,300,0001.—1e5s one third to the lay impropriators. If this be the fact, the country would gladly raise the average to 2001, and get rid of tithes which, at a tenth of the produce, must cost the farmer seven or eight times the amount, independently of the mischievous operation of the system. We have never considered the body of the clergy as overpaid,; but we object that they should be paid from such a source, and the subject demands the earliest attention. In the Commons the business was interesting, if not effec tive. Sir R. VTV YAN performed the tardy duty of inquirin g about the extraordinary negociations with Belgium, in which, out of doors, the honour of the country is considered as grossly compromised. LORD Pa LataasTom evaded an ex planation, by the usual ministerial mystification about con- Sdence and secrecy. ALDEILMAN WAITHMAN brought forward his Resolutions to prove, that as Exports are made at a constantly depreciat ing value, ao that as double the quantity now produces less than half the quantity thirty years ago, it is a gross fraud L PUBLIC to quote the quantity in official standard value, as any proof of public prosperity, and as any reply to the complaints of the people. Thus, ffixty-six millions of standard value, in 1830, did not produce so much as thirty millions thirty-two years ago ; consequently they yielded but half for the same labour. The only benefit from exports, or sales of any kind, is the amount of produce; and if we boasted of the quantity, instead of the proceeds, we might with equal rationality boast, if one half were thrown over London Bridge. This point, however, the House con sidered too difficult to understand ; or, it was so unpala table to the wholesale dealers in delusion, that his sen sible resolutions were got rid of, by the previous question, moved by the President of the Board of Trade. But what will make the hair stand on end, in every manufacturing district, Mr. MonRISON (of Fore-street), Sir W. JOHNSON, Mr. J. MARTIN, the Banker, and some others, asserted that we are in a high state of pros perity and improvement! Mr. ROBINSON, in one of his acute practical speeches, and Mr. ATTWOOD, admirably re plied ; and the latter stated, that whenever any of these official flourishes were adduced in future, he would move for the reading of the last petitions of the people. The truth is this, that the statements of Alderman WArra isAw were unanswerable; and that we are, by a false system, supply ing foreigners with our manufactures, at prices which afford neither profit to the merchant-manufacturer, nor ristence to the operatives engaged in the fabrics! Mr HOBHOUSEgave notice of a bill to restrain the pe riod of actual labour in manufactories to Ili hours, which, with two hours for meals, would require 13i hours atten dance per day. This will be a benefit, for 16 or 18 hours is now too common ; but we hope that before the ~regulation passes into a lay, another half hour will be conceded, if not another hour. Six to six, and 1 for intermediate meals, is what humanity demands, at least, for the miserable wages obtained. The wasteful profligacy of the Jobs of Buckingham and Windsor Palaces came under review, and the demands, 200,0001. were referred to a Select Committee. Lord ALTHORP brought in a bill for amending the Game Laws. No qualification is required but a licence. Game is to be sold, and the dealers to have a licence. Trespassers to be summarily punished by Magistrates—night poachers to be subject to 4,8, and 24 months imprisonment. No punishment, as at present, on three persona found together in fields. Mr. O'BRIEN's very important Irish Poor Bill was read a first time. The House is to be called over on the 28th. We have German and Brussels Papers this day, which chew that in Germany, the patriotic movements in Spain were known at Vienna. The following are extracts : VIENNA, Fzi. 3. Aleuts from Madrid, in the Ailgewteine &Rung of Jantwy 20, speaks in the most confident mannsrof military preparations of all which are said to be going on in Spain ; and adds, "Spain will take a decisive part in the movements which the great powers may think fit to order with respect to the affairs of France." We are fully authorised by what we know of the political attitude of the Spanish Court, to declare the contents of the article in question to be a fiction throughout; but believe that we can point out the origin jo it. It could proceed from no other source than the laboratory of the revolutionary party; which, as it cannot succeed in spreading its work of destruction by the means which have been hitherto practised over all the states of Europe, has had re. course to the announcement of a gmeral war as near at hand, In which, as it fondly imagines, " T& first shot would bring victory to it." Those who animate their adherents by such reports, and to alarm Governments and the public, will be disappointed in these expectations so fa as they reckon on pretended conventions between the great powers, the sole object of those powers is to avert the dangers which, in a time of great fermentation, threaten legal order, the solidity of the exist. lag constitutions, the welfare of nations, and all the bleasinp of society. Respecting the means by which they hope to acootn. plish this salutary object, they will certainly ask advice of cor respondents of newspapers. So much, however, is certain, that if the Spanish government, as cannot be doubte d follows the system of those powers to which the intention of " ordering movements respectin g the internal affairs of trance" is foolishly imputed ; its polic y can no other than care for the preservation of rage. BRUSSELS. _ _ _ NATIONAL CONGRESS.—Sirr Iwo or Fn. 11. The order of the day was the discussion of the proposal of Mr. Van Meenen, to the following erect : Art. 1. The constitution solemnly sanctioned, in the sitting of the 7th Feb. 1831, shall be immediately promulgated in the hem prescribed by the decree of the 27th Nov. 1830. Art. 2. If the Congress has not fixed an earlier data, the Constitution shall be in force ten days after the dissolution of the Coarse. After some debate, this proposal was adopted, by a majority of sixty three to sixty-four. BRUSSELS, Frs. 12. From the Veal Patriots. We think It our duty to publish the protocol of Feb. 7, because Bel gium has a right to know w h at so materially affects its hats:est and its destiny. Neither infantins sulkiness. nor the empty verbosity of M. Van de Weyer, will hinder the dim of the document. We do not see of what use it can be to withhold the communication from the Coo grass, unless it be to palliate the salons ants and the Avid's' intrigues of our diplomacy, now at its last gasp. Is it more important to chew tenderness to the susceptibility of AI. de Cellos than to let the country know the whole troth ? (Here follows the copy of the Protocol, which agrees with that pub lished by the Paris paper Le Globe of Sunday, Feb. 13.) Our Diplomatic Committee, as well as the Members of the Provi. atonal Government, have suffered themselves to be trifled with to the very last. It is not even proved that they are undeceived, and it is pos. tibia they may not give credit to the notice of the refusal !whic h , they will receive to.day from the deputation sent to Paris. So well was the mystification prepared and managed, so impossible was it for them at last to see any thing but the opinion which it was thought At to show them. We do not impeach their probity, their pa. triodsm, or the rectitude of their sentiments; the very fret of their ' , having been made dupes excuses them from the reproach actinium's. don or duplicity. Some ill-informed persons will ask for what purpose foreign diplo macy has played the fool with a whole Government, and with Its diplomatic Committee, not rxting even M. Netball!), whose . youth should have been idas and whom, besides, there was no merit in deceiving. In wawa, we are to explain the motives of the plot with which the Congress at London has m u ch mowe d ; m a in its moments of recreation. It is well known that France is closely united with England to endeavour to oppose the ag grandisement of Russia, It is li kewise notorious, that the Cabinet of the Pales Royal was decidedly adverse to the election of the Duke of Lenchtenbag to the throne of Belgium. Lady, nobody, unless it be the Belgian Diplomadsts, is ignorant that England would not on any terms permit either the reign of a French Prince in Belgium, or the union of that country to France—these three points were agreed upon, between the two Cabinets, but Francs had at & o n to hinder the election of the Duke of Leuchtesbag ; now it could not do this except by opposing to him, by a ate ' Intrigue, the Duke of Nemours, and to obtain the of this Prince, it was necessary to impress on his the persuasion that France would accept for him the Crown of Secret and apparently Mllimalal agents ate employed to mob dies diplomatic committee Winn rim it would have a trench Hing wad M. de Cella mass to have patisipued in the scheme.

We have received the following from London, and from a quarter upon which we can depend : " Protocol No. 15 of the Conference held at the Foreign Office on Feb. 7, 1831, in the presence of the Plenipotentiaries of Austria, Franco Great Britain, Prussia, and Russia. " The Conference was opened by the French Plenipoten tiary, who presented a declaration, stating that the Govern ment of the King of the French considered the refusal of the King to accept the crown of Belgium for the Duke of Nemours, as offered by the Congress, was in unison with the tenour of the Protocol of the 11 th of January, and that on being informed that this offer was to be made, hie Ma jesty had directed his Plenipotentiary to repeat his former declarations on this subject. The Plenipotentiaries decided upon introducing those com munications into the present Protocol, and subsequently took into consideration the possibility of the throne being offered to the Duke of Leuchtenberg. " Being unanimously of opinion that the latter choice would not be in unison with any of the principles laid down in protocol N 0.12, of Jan. 27, which stipulated that the King of Belgium should himself be answerable for the principles of the country, and that he should be accountable by his personal situation for the safety of neighbouring States, if the sovereignty of Belgium were offered by the Brussels Congress to the Duke of Leuchtenberg, and if this Prince accepted it, he would not be recognised by any of the Five Great Powers. ;Signed) " ESTERHAZY, WESSENBERG, TALLEYRAND, PALMERSTON, BULOW, and LIEVEN." Frost rlndependeosS of Brussels. SITTING OF THE NATIONAL CONGRESS, FEL 12, TKO O'CLOCK. M. de Gerlache, the vice-president, read a letter from M. Surlet de Chokier to the President of the Congress, dated Paris, February 10, 1831 : _ " Mr. President,—The deputation despatched by the Con gress, to offer to the Duke of Nemours the Crown which has been decreed to him by the Representatives of the Belgian people, scarcely arrived at Paris before it held a conference with the Minister of Foreign Affairs on the subject of the important mission with which it was intrusted. Since that time three conferences, of several hours' duration, have taken place, at which the question has been examined and discussed in all its bearing. I will not conceal from you, Sir, that great, and I may say insurmountable difficulties have arisen with regard to the acceptation of the Belgian Crown. The greatest obstacle is the apprehension of a general war, which this acceptation would be likely to bring on—a war before which France would not shrink, if she saw her in terests or honour, her dignity or independence, in any way affected, but which would not be popular here, simply to sustain the interest ofa family and dynasty: independently of the official conferences which have taken place between the Deputation and the Minister of Foreign Affairs,we have had the honour of being admitted into the presence of the King, and bad several private interviews with his Majesty. It would be difficult, Sir, to describe with what interest and courtesy Louis Philippe received us, and how much the choice of his young son as the ruler of the Belgians has affected him. The ling of the French wished the Belgians to feel that they had no bear friend than his Majesty, and that no one more de sired to mare to them their independence and their welfare. We all could plainly perceive at those interviews that the King was chiefly prevented from deciding by the fear of be ing accused of that selfish ambition which led Napoleon to establish members of his own family upon foreign thrones ; be would not wish, by crowning his son, to bring on a war, the danger of which all declare would be very imminent if be accepted our proposal. " At the same time, Sir, I request you to bear in mind that the audiences we have hitherto had with his Majesty have been private ; and that until the next appointed day, when we shall be formally received, and consequently shall bars the official reply of the King, we must not set the refusal down as certain. We have further learnt in the confer ences with the Minister of Foreign Affairs that the election of the Duke of Leuchtenberg would not have been re cognised by the Powers (and the Congress will have a con finned= of this fact by official communications) ; that they would have opposed themselves to any attempt of the Prises of Orange forcibly to resume in Belgium a power which has departed from himself and his family—an attempt which could not but expose to danger both our own country and the neighbouring States. In conclusion, France pledges herself to support our interests as if they were her own ; and respecting the question of the debt, our limits, and independence, we may rest assured of her succour and un varying protection. " I expect that the formal presentation of the deputation of the Congress to the King of the French will take place some time before the beginning of next week. May the words which shall proceed from the throne be such as shall most the expectations and wishes of the Belgians, and tend to consolidate in our country peace, concord, and liberty. ( 81 red) SURE S T DR CROMER. Park, February O." ITALY. From the CessatiterOessel of Seredeg. The following proclamation has been circulated in Upper Italy :—" Sovereignty belongs essentially to the nation. Fellow-countrymen, the Italian tri-coloured flag, emblem of their first effort to collect the scattered members of their country, although their generous resolution has not been crowned with meccas, let this banner be unfurled upon every part of the Indian soil.

You, noble warriors, who tremble at fi nding yourselves in the service of despots ; yen noble veterans, of the different armies, which arose .as if by a miracle ; you, generous youth, at the same time both soldiers and citizens, in following the ancient Roman eagle, and the colours covered with further glory, sup port the most just and the most holy of wars ;--panne no longer, fall upon your enemies;—the most splendid and real glory awaits you—that which is gained by be stowing liberty upon one's country.

Let their allies, the tyrants of Italy, fall along with them ;—let them vanish like a meteor ;—let them leave the Italian sky with the strangers ; —let the Deputies of the nation appear in their ancient seat where their talents shone forth on former occasions. Italians, prepare your arms; the grand movement is not far off." kilit i journal pretends that the Duke of Modena has been ; other accounts say that be still defended against the people, and that he had sent his family and valu able effects to the citadel of Mantua.

Various India- lions which cannot be specified, and which have, however, some foundation, give much probability to the reports, of an approaching insurrection in Savoy and Piedmont_ events expected by all, desired by many, and which the movements in Italy may accelerate. The Piedmontes►• refugees depend much on them. Many Frenchmen on tits frontiers will join them, as soon as the first movements break out. _ _ PIEDMONT, Fin. 9.—We every moment ox pct an insurrection, and the government is hastening t„ send to a place of safety every thing valuable belong ing to it. The brass guns in the fort are replaced by iron ones, and embarked at Villa Franca for Genoa, to which place a great part of the military stores arc sent. It is probable, however, that in cue of an insurrection in Italy, Genoa would not be a mere spectator ; but fears are entertained of France while armaments are making again,i it, and exertions are made to remove as much as possible of what is expected soon to become its prey." POLAND. . _ WA as w, JAN. 31.—The Generalissimo, Prince Radzi will, left town yesterday, in order to rejoin his army. Hi-, Royal Highness the Cesarowitsch is at present at Grodno he is expected to be on the 6th of February at Bialystock. The National Guard of Warsaw consists at present of 191 officers, and 5,944 soldiers, which number will be soon doubled. . ------ Welsenhoff has been named commander of the cavalry. The sitting of the Diet on the 26th was opened by discus sions on the propriety of electing a supreme authority. Two propositions were submitted to the consideration of the meet ing. The purport of the first was, to leave the government in the hands of a council of ministers, one of whom would b chosen president. The object of the other was to institute a new power independent of ministers. After long debate-. on this subject, the Diet determined in favour of the last. SPIRIT OF THE JOURNALS. g* Iw coma/maw; of the length of Ae Parliaweagwy Debates an,' Foreign Intelligence, we are obliged go *setae souse ezerciets from the Journals qfvestirday with the Spirit of Ow Journals of to-day. Meas.—The affairs of Belgium have from the beginning been felt to involve the question of peace or war,--of the territorial aggrandize. meet or inaeaaed power of France, with all Europe as her enemy,—or of her moderation and controlled ambition, with the preservation of the General Alliance. Hence the intense interest excited by every move ment or word of a set of inexperienced Belgic adventurers, who call themselves statesmen because they are placed in a situation to em. broil their betters; and hence the legislative assemblies of four neigh. bouring nations—the only nations of Europe which have free It. gislative assemblies—entertain the same inquiries at the same time. Almost every day the French Chamber of Deputies, the Belgic Con. gress, and the States General of Holland, are called upon to hear some statement, or provoked to enter into some discussion, on these agitating affairs. The Parliament of England has, till last night, abstained front demanding disclosures, and the information which our Minister has conituunicated was, very properly, scanty and reserved. The answEr which Lord Palmerston gave to the questions put by Sir R.Vy eyan last night was no departure from the usual course. The letter of Gen. Selma tiani seemed so extraordinary as to warrant some doubt of its authenti city, and the preparations on the French frontiers have been so emblazoned as to require some explanation of their amount. The Foreign lleactary having removed the former, and given the latter in the short est compass phi l i t ee, put an end to the conversation. The letter of the chief of the Bei deputation at Paris, which fully accords with that system of publicity to which we have above alluded, is a very singular composition. It announces to the wondering Belgians what great men their Deputies have become at Paris—bow they have been treated by the Minister, and received by the King. It moreover informs them, that they do not despair of yet inducing Louis Philip to give them his son for their newly erected throne. Then the chief of the deputation dextrouly attacks the interest of both rivals of the Duke of Nemours, by telling Congress that the Duke of Lenehtenberg would not be acknowledged by the Allied Courts, and that the entensions of the Prince of Orange would be op posed if he stifled. - What does all this mun ? Doss the French mi nistry intend, by this cajolery and coquetry, to keep the Belgic deputa. don i n Paris ti ll they can find some pretext for breaking their engage. aunts with the rest of Europe, and accepting the proffend crown ?

Fem.—We have often painted eat to ourtakes die diMMIIKS be tween practical statesmen and political charlatans; bat never until the appearance of Lord Ahhorp's budget has the truth of our opinions been so forcibly Illustrated or so usiversally admitted. Those persons who were wont to complain of the quiet 4 unpretending, insioess-like administration of public affairs by our late ministers, are now foremost to attack the rashness and imbecility of their successors. HZILIILD.—The Government deserve =Alt for having so promptly yielded to public opinion in withdrawing the proposed duty upon trans. fens of fended property. They have admitted their error, and by that ready admission, atoned for it. We do not expect infallibility even in ministers of state. To retract a mistake, is no discredit. The disgrace attaches only to an obstinate perseverance in error. It was a detami. nation not Ito go right, whenever they were convicted of being wrong, and a wilful resistance to public opinion, which wrought the downfall of the late administration.
