1-OREIGN INTELLIGENCE-EXCLUSIVE. PARIS, SUNDAY (Onc o'Clock, Afternoon). TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. ``ili—Contrary to the expectations of all the journals of to -di.y. there is no announcement in the Moniteur of the new ministry. Each inirnal puts forth its list, and com ments upon it, giving assurances that it is the correct one; but up to this moment, all is doubt and uncertainty. The de of a minister, at this moment, appears to be something like the " life o soldier, " during the days of July—the very reverse of comfortable. No minister can repose in Paris just now upon a bed of roses. As I cannot include in my present packet all the papers I usually do, the following are the leading sentiments of some of those I do not forward. The Comfit/dim:set after putting forth its list of heroes who are bold enough to mount the breach, states that it is decided, when the legislative labours of urgency shall have terminated, the Chambers will be prorogued by the King in person ; and that the dissolution «ill take place somewhat later—a fortnight before the period appointed for elections. It finishes by this quaint observation :—" To judge of this new ministerial combination, we must wait its works." The Journal de Paris states that Cassimir Perrier, in .tccepting the Presidency of the Council, made known that his intention was to support himself upon the left, rather than upon tha centres; and thus announced, even in this respect, a declaration of principles. In all the lists, M. Cassimir Perrier figures as the President of the Council—of course, front his having the command of the King to form the ; and in most of them, Soult and Sebastiani re :nein at their posts. The Gazette de France states that Perrier, in order to ,7;ve eclat to the new ministry, has demanded of the King to held a royal council, for the purpose of pronouncing a declaration of the principles of the ministry ; that the king has consented ; and that the Royal Court will be on Tuesday (this day.) I, however, believe all this to be fic titious—all is at present in mystery. I just had time to write you yesterday that Louis and Napoleon Bonaparte, the young sons of the ex-Queen Hor tense, are the grand movers of the revolution in Italy. Fearing for the safety of their mother, they hastened her departure for Rome, where they have the hope and inten tied' ofjoiuing her. The Queen has gone to Florence by :he route of Sienne, whilst they have taken that of Perugia. When they arrised at that city, they were received with transports by the chiefs of the people, who had raised the standard of independence. They have both taken rank ,mongst the ancient officers of the Republican and Imperial timies. Happy in devoting themselves to so fine a cause, they have vowed irrevocably their arms and their lives for the defence of liberty. I understand, from a friend, who :snows them intimately, that they are both fine young men : the character of Louis is well known in Italy. He has al ways professed openly the principles for which he has now ngaged to fight. It was he, who at the first news of the Revolution cf July, exclaimed, in thinking that the soil of France would no longer be interdicted to him : "I shall thin, thank Heaven, beboa French soldier!" 1 send you an extract from the Tribune of this day, rela :ive to the seizure of that paper of yesterday. I cannot send von the paper, lest it should be seized again at the Pest-Office ; for the contents render it very probable. The news from Poland becomes more favourable daily; but still, after the tricks that have been resorted to, both here and in London, such intelligence must be received with caution. I have nothing new to state in the way of commotion; all is tranquil at this moment.—l re main, yours, &c. J. L. Eleven o'Cloch at Night. —We have this instant learnt the formation of a new Ministry ; the following are the names and appointments—M. Casimir Perier, President of the Council; Marshal Soult, Minister of War; M. de Rigny, Minister of Marine ; Baron Louis, Minister of Finances; M. Berenger, Minister of Justice; M. Sebes tiani, Minister of Foreign Affairs; M. d'Argout, Minister of the Intcricr (Communes, Police, &c.) ; M. de Montali vet, Interior ((ommerce, Sciences, Fine Arts, &c.); M. 13aitW, Minister of Public Instruction.—Juurnul des Delats. FAA NCE. It is staa:d that M. Vivien, whose successor has not been nlmed at Amiens, will return, and that N. Foudras, chief of the division police to the minister of the interior, will e the sixth preftct of police since the revolution of July. The council will assemble no more than once a week at the Ilace of thc King. The Chamber of Deputies will be pro rogued. A royal sitting will take place for this purpose, when the King will expose the principles of his government. We know not whether there is truth in all this : but we aideutly desire that it may be finished, to be disembarrassed of the fastidious task of reporting rumours which each day '_:ives birth to, and which the morrow gives the lie to.— Journal ( 7- f Commerce. . . The manwr iu which we treat foreigners proscribed for a cause (alluding to the Italians and Spaniards) which is that of our s , proves that we have mounted in rank, in the stecm of the Holy Alliance. In fact, under the restora tion we were prisoners of the Kings of EuropA! ; since the glorious days of July, we are jailers on their account."— Lc Notional. The copies of the Tribune were again arrested yesterday i:t the post, and seized at our office. It would appear that M. Persil keeps in store for us each week a seizure and two law-suits. if. Persil has just been made a member , f the Legion of Honour. This redoubles his hatred •'gainst a journal, hich rallies around it all the patriots who made the revolution of July ; and all the men who, whether in Paris, or in the Provinces, are decided to oppose a generous resistance to the third invasion—to the perfect alliance with the recognition of the right of intervention of Austria in the affairs of Italy—to the dispersion of the Piedmontese refugees—to the arrestations of the citizens so badly advised, who replaced, on the 29th of July, the white flag of the Tuileries by the tri-coloured flag—to the bayonets directed against the young, assembled for the purpose of con ratulating a worthy magistrate. For some days past there has been something convulsive in all the proceedings of power. These convulsions—do they not announce the agony of a faction incompatible with the national defence ? do they not presage the approaching death of the France of July ? It appears that this is not yet decided. Bulletins have succeeded each other to-day very rapidly, as in all esrave maladies, indicating now some glimmers of hope; afterwards imminent symptoms of dissolution and gangrene; one moment it was a ministry Lafitte, Eusebe Salverte, Mauguin ; an how afterwards it was a ministry Perier end Decazes. The two flags still struggle. May GOD save France.—There have been new troubles at Paris ; but a simple recital of facts. a ithout the least reflexion, is re puted seditious ; it is therefore better to bold one's tongue than Tribune. POLAND. We have received this day letters from Warsaw of the Ist They announce that the Polish army had recovered !rota its fatigue, and that it was prepared for new combats. fliere is not yt t any decided plan of campaign adopted ; but it is considered, that in defending Warsaw, it will draw in the Palatinates of Kalisch and Sandomir.— Courrier Fl ancui From private letters of Warsaw, the greatest part of the Russian army has marched upon Plock ; another division upon Gora, and there remained only before Warsaw a corps of observation. It was believed that the wreck of the Polish army was not sufficiently strong to accept once more a battle in the open country. The wish of the citizens not to allow the city to be sacked, is pronounced more and more openly; but the higher ranks seem resolved not to yield until the last extremity, and they find a great support in the presence of the army.— Gazette de Berlin. The Gazette d'Etat of Warsaw announces that, on the 26th and 27th, there arrived several thousands of mowers. We have news from Warsaw of the 3d of March. The Polish army had in part concentrated to the number of 60,000 men. The head of the bridge of Praga had not then been attacked by the Russians. It is thought that General Deibitsch, recognising the impossibility of forcing the Poles upon this point, has proceeded towards Plock, in order to pass the Vistula and arrive upon Warsaw by the left bank. The thaws will henceforth render his march long and difficult. It will take him two months to perform the whole of the movements necessary for the investment of Warsaw. His first campaign has really failed, and he commences a new system of operations which will entail upon the various corps of his army, the painful and difficult manoeuvres of traversing one of the most impracticable countries of Europe, by the nature of its soil, which is completely saturated with water to the depth of several feet.—Mcesager des Chambres. ITALY. ROME, FEB. 26.—0 n all sides is announced the rapid march of the insurgents upon the capital of the Pontifical States ; they will, it is said, arrive on the 12th or 13th, at the gates of Rome, under the orders of General Zucchi.— The sons of the Count de St. Leu are attended by Colonel Sercognani, whose troops are at Spolete. All is prepared for the departure of his Holiness ; nearly all the gates of the city are closed, and money is scarce—all commerce is inter rupted—the National Guard, called by Bernetti, organises slowly, and with very little zeal. The Pontifical Govern ment appears to reckon upon the intervention of Austria, and hopes that France will have nothing to find fault with. They know nothing at Rome of what passes in the North of Italy, but by foreign journals. There is not much known of what the Cardinals think upon the ordinance for a fast of the Bishop of Cesene, who renders to providence thanks givings for the revolution which is accomplished, and persists in calling himself a faithful servant of Gregory XVI. A despatch arrived at Lyons, by the care of our French Consul at Turin and was afterwards transmitted t o P ar i s b y the telegraph. It states that the Pope had just concluded with the Austrian Ambassador a treaty, by which the Aus trian troops should interfere in the States of his Holiness ; and that already, by forced marches, they were proceeding upon the insurgent states. In consequence of this news, which formally violates the principle of non-intervention, which France had considered it her duty to respect her self, in order that it might be respected by other powers, we are assured that an army of 60,000 men will be organised upon the frontiers, under the title of the Army of Italy, and that Marshal Gerard is already on the road to take the com mand. Before ten days we shall have a new position in our relations with foreigners.—Journal det Commerce It Lyon. SPAIN. The most contradictory reports circulate upon Spain, and they are so vague that one cannot condense them. A letter from Figuieras, of the Gth March, which arrived to us by Perpignan, states--Insurrectional movements agitate the environs of Valencia. The royal guard which composed the garrison of Barcelona, has left for Madrid. On the other side a telegraphic despatch arrived, which announces—Tor rijos has landed at San-Fernando ; in spite of the union of his troop with a battalion of marines, he was vigorously repulsed, several men were killed, and a great number re main prisoners. The same day the Governor of Cadiz was assassinated. The people remain calm and indifferent to these two events.—Meuager des Chambres. ENGLAND. FIRST READING OF Till BILL Or REFORM.—It is impossible not to be struck, in reading the Debates of the House of Commons, with the urgent necessity of the Bill of Reform, presented by the Ministry ; and that necessity is especially demonstrated, by the words even of those who attack the Bill, and provoke the rejection. Political cor ruption, carried to this point, ceases to be culpable ; it is inherited in the nature of these men ' • it is no more than the result of prejudices which th e y d a t e from infancy, and they are willing to prove it, by advertising it thus loudly, No wonder it is wished to change a system which has pro duced such personages. A member of the present oppo sition, M. Percival, could find no better argument to defend the rotten boroughs, than to advance that all public interests resolve themselves into money ; and the boroughs being purchaseable by money, it was evident that all interests found access into parliament, and were re presented. Another member, M. Melburne(?) made an ob jection which must, according to him, go straight to the heart of ministers, and decide them to withdraw the bill. When they had no more rotten boroughs, said he, the mi nistry will no long er have any creatures in the Chamb er . Then how can thy govern ? How could he suppose that any government would allow itself to be in such a state of decrepitude, to accommodate itself to such innocent sincerity? Lord John Russell supported his motion with remarkable dignity and talent. He recalled the words of the famous Lord Chatham—" If the Chamber does not reform itself from within, it will be reformed from without with a ven geance." Only three voices opposed the first reading of the bill.—Le Temps. ADDITIONAL EXTRACTS FOX TM MORNING PAPERS. On Saturday evening the King presided at a council of ministers. The council did not rise till after 11 o'clock. The King gave a private audience also to Baron Louis, M. Bonvalet Deputy, and Admiral Lord Cochrane.—A letter from Pont de Beauvoisin, dated March 9, says—' The Prince of Carignan has just left Chambery in great haste, to return to Turin. The King is in the last extremity, and probably dead at the moment I write. We are assured that the project avowed by the Prince is to signalize his ascent to the shrone by the grant of a constitutional charter, adapted to the wants of Piedmont. The accession of this Prince, who was so many years exposed to the enmity of Austria, cannot fail to exercise a great influence over the affairs of Italy. The most perfect tranquillity reigns in Savoy. There is no longer any question about Piedmontese refugees, However, the Sardinian troops sent in aid to Pont de Beauvoisin remain there.'—We believe the Journal du Commerce de Lyon very well informed on what regards the demand of the Austrian intervention for the Pope. As to the consequences deduced from it, and the views of the departure of General Gerard for the frontier of Piedmont, it is not yet true.—Mcssayer des Chambres. A number of students met again on Saturday on the place of the Pantheon, where were stationed three compa nies of the 24th Regiment of the line and a squadron of hussars. This assemblage not having assumed any offen sive character, the troops retired. The groups however sub sequently multiplied, and young men, well dressed, began to harangue the people to disorder. Some workmen, who had hitherto remained peaceable spectators of this scene, advanced at length towards the orators, and complained I of the tumults which the students had excited, attri-1 bating to them all the uneasiness and distrust which afflicted the public At this moment the National ' Guard, reinforced by the line, defiled through the four streets which border the angles of the place, and in the twinkling of an eye the assemblage was completely ! invested ; a certain number of arrests were then amid the applause of the inhabitants of this quarter. We add to these details, that a certain number of young men who, at the same time, paraded the fauxbourgs St. Marceau and St. Antoine, in the hope of exciting a tumult, were very ill received - oy the working population, and many of them were obliged to fly for safety, from the menaces of the working classes, who were irritated at these unworthy at tompts.—Le Temps. The Journal de Paris says, that many of these students were armed with poniards, and would have been sacrificed by the workmen, had it not been for the interference of the military. Saturday there were some assemblies of young men. This agitation, without an object, occasions a display of force which fatigues the troops and National Guard ; it disturbs commerce, and finishes even by irritating the work men, who attribute their want of emplovent to these con tinual assemblages ; some of them on Saturday gave indeed unequivocal manifestations of their sense of these inces sant gatherings. The news of the disaster in Poland has produced, and ought to produce, a lively agitation ; but we know now, that the cause of Poland is neither lost, nor despaired of ; there is no reason then for continuing demon strations which have grown out of a wrong impression. The greater number of Saturday's groups were exclaiming,— ' War, war.' Now we know a great number of citizens and of National Guards, who, without crying out for war, are determined to run to the frontier, at the first signal of danger. These citizens have already begun by signing en • gagements to march forthwith wherever it may be necessary. It seems to us that this is the proper course to follow. It is the first way to know each other ; to rally ; in fact to engage to pay in our persons, and to annonnce to the country the number of those upon whom it may count for its defence, in seconding the efforts of the army. This proceeding has been followed in a great number of the departments, and it is, according to our opinion, more efficacious, and more imposing than these tumultuous cries, which wany people are uttering without feeling themselves more engaged to the country on that account.—Le Courier Francais. The prosecution, of which the Globe is now the object, has no relation to any article of our politics ; they refer siw.ly to the insertion of a notice in our number of the 10th, which is mixed up indiscriminately with a crowd of different others, under the title of Miscellaneous news.' It was as follows We are requested to insert the following notice :—The young gentlemen of the schools are invited to meet to-morrow, the 11th of March, at one o'clock, upon the Place of the Pantheon.' As it happened to be on the 11th that hostile demonstra tions were made against the Russian Ambassador, attri buted, whether right or wrong, to students, the ministry have thought they saw in the above insertion a provocation to this act of barbarity. We thought, however, that we had, with sufficient clearness and explicitness, expressed our opinions upon the occasion of the cries for death, uttered last December against the ex-ministers, as well as upon the devastations of February, to have saved us from the possi bility of even harbouring- an idea of recommencing vie lence.—Lc Globe. By the Dutch mail this morning, we are gratified in re ceiving some further particulars of the defeat of the Rus sian tioops, by the brave Poles. No doubt can now exist on this subject. WARSAW, Sl*act' S. Our Journals contain several orders of the day, both of the late Com rnander-imChief Prinx Ratlziwill, and of General Skrzymcki, con. taming promotions in the army ; those of the latter are dated Warsaw, Feb. 26. News has been received, that on the 26th Feb. Colonel liazowski, with 120 cavalry and 100 Yager, passed the Vistula at Pultawy. The action lasted from five till half past nine o'clock. The Russians 'Jar. ricaded themselves in • building, but were beaten; three office's, 170 dragoons, and above 90 horses, with their equipments, fell into our hands. The magazine was saved. Many military effects and much ammunition were taken. Prince Czattoriski gave due praise to all the Poles. After the last battle, the Russians retired behind the Oroehow Pillar, and have till now remained quite inactive. A part of our army has returned to Wart:aw to take mum repose, after so many hardships and battles. The Government has appointed a coalmine: to superintend the hos pitals. The voluntary contributions &posited in the bank amount to 700,000 Polish florins. The new Commander-in-Chitf, Gen( ral Skrzynceki, inspected the troops on the Ist instant, and by an order of the day encouregtd them to IN. rr eller!. The obsequies of General Zimir,ki were celebrated en the 28th, and those of Colonel Wladislaus Ploncziuski on the following clay. The If Courier of the lit says, " Last night some corps of the enemy, attempting to throw up entrenchments near Praga, were driven of!' by the lire of the artillery, from the walls of that fortress, 20 Cossacks were made prisoners. Towards LOMra also our men repulsed an enemy's corps which attempted to approach from that side." The same paper. under the head of the 22d, says.—" Vestetday par. ties of Cossacks showed themselves below Praga, and on the banks of tie Saxon Werdcr, but every time they came near, they were driven back by our fire, an di some d them taken prisoners. It is raid, there has been an action at Pultusk, but no certain information has been received respecting it." The State Gazette, (of Warsaw), says, " Bcyond Praga all is tranquil: only at intervals we hear a kw musket shots. and see Cossacks also fetch hrush.wood from the Saxon Wer der. It is said, that four Russian cannon sunk, which they attempted to convey across a frozen ditch to the Saxon Wertler. Fur some days past the weather has been very stormy—drifting snow, thaw. and tempestuous weather preceded each other. It is fortunate that our mops have to encamp in the open air. Field.slarshal Diebitsch has divided his army ; columns were seen marching in different directions towards the North and South. Some regiments of the Russian guard., which left Warsaw in December, were engaged on the 25th. At Biolenka were the Cuirassiers ; at &mellow the Ilulans, whose com mander (Gen. Markow) was wounded. The prisoners say that General Suchosanct. of the artillery, lost a leg in the last action. and that General Kiszkin, who is well known in Warsaw, was killed. It is also said, that General Rozniecki fell in the action of Bioleaka. HAMBURG, March, 8. The Warsaw Journals of the 4.h, give official accounts of the battles of the 24th and '2sth of Feb. in which the loss of the Poles in killed and wounded, is estimated at between 5 and 6.000, occasioned by the great superiority of the Russian artillery, amounting to 350 cannon : the loss of the Ft ossisns, who had kur regiments of Guards in the battle, is stated at 15.000—Hamburg pipers, March THE HAGUE., lllaacti 8. A letter from General Gibbets, of Mire! , 4, says, that rewa had been received at Maestvicht that the camp of Alellinet Lad been removed to Thienen. The artillery, which had hitherto remained at 3lawyck, was sent to Hasselt, by way of Dilsen, near which place some of the heavy cannon sank in the marshy ground, and could not be got forsard. The General also communicates some letters between himself and General Gaine : the latter complained of various circumstances which he considered as violations of the armistice. Getters' Gibbets, in his answer, refers to live letters of his own to General Gable, in which he complained of various violations of the armistice by the Belgians. and alleges some more recent instances. He also refutes the inculpation of Gets. DaMe. ROTTE It DA M, MARCH 9. Authentic accounts have been received, that our troops have had an encounter with the rebels at Biervliet. in Dutch Flanders, in which the latter were wholly defeated, with the len of fourteen killed. Our brave sailors contributed greatly to the victory. We had two killed. BREDA, Maacx 10. Belgian troops have again come to Oversel, in our neighbourhood. A great portion of them is without arms.

C... 1 Yesterday we were compelled, for want of rot m, to exclude the " Spirit of the Journals" of the da:, ; hut the tollAving paragraph IRIS6e:,SCS MO much iracret, to be wholly omitted, and cottieitetes all tha tut. of value in the S ; tirit of the d:.y. name—Considering the ctiti :al nature of our relations whit certain foreign and nnuititne States, the British Admiralty craght, with out a moment's delay, to build and equip a considerable nun bet of armed steuni-ships, of formidable size and force, for the prmection our own, and the annoyance of any hostile commerce, in cave of out being, which does not see m unlikely, embroiled of a sudden whit sr'n formidable European Power.—lt was made known many weeks :fejt,. that Fiance hail then prepared no less than 30 aimed steamers. r.ppli. cable to immediate service, and capable of indicting the most exam sir,! ruin upon the mcichantmen of England. especially in the narrnw seas. The British naval department, it is alleged, had not—at least during Loid 31ELvit.La's Ministry—prepared any armament of a similar nature, to cope, in ease of need, with en state and enterprising rival. In trtrh, not only that noble Lord. but a certain naval officer, a leading ntember of tie Ward of Admiralty, was accused of a sort of pig-headed repugnance to the hunts deletion of any sort of novelty into the set rice, no matter how urgently it might be called for by the inventive and menacing improvements nt neighbouring states. Several ingenious additions hart., we are told, beer, made to the equipment and atmantent of their ineti.of-war by the G e nments of France and of North America, which have not net, err had for very lately, been provided against by corresponding measures her . The old practice, ftir example, of building 46-pm filtrates cartying long 18-pounders on the main deck,—when neither the ratted States nor France have for years past launched any of a less force than trom 50 to 60 guns, `l4- rounders on the m a in deck,—has been persisted in by the Melville Ba nd with i'eplorable and cruel obstinacy. IVhat is it lut sending our ships to be captured : am: our officers end seamen to ho massacred or disgraced ? We thought the last American war would bar I roved a lesson on that s core. So cur Admiralty have gone on build mg another most useless class of ships carrying 28 guns, those on th , quarter-deck and forecastle included. Neither France nor America ha any thing so ridiculous as this. They send to sea corvettes of 24 gun 4.2-pound carronatles on one deck, more effective and warlike vessel,, throwing a broadside one-third heavier than our 28-gun I rigates, and soil ing much better. so that our ships of the class in question can neither rti , from them nor fight them : a if any thing of a sea be going. twenty.eights will find it impassible to use their main deck guns. Ali such old. womanish folly, anti s.upil waste of money .red materials, us we have now described, ought to be at once put an end to. Heavy frigates ought to be built or ulteied out of old seventy-fours cut down, and in double the numbers that at present exist In the navy; powerful corvettes, likewise, to match those of other na tions, instead of the lumbering o r feeble craft with which our yards have been for some time infested. But above all things—and tee press it most earnestly on the government—let there be art immedi .te and adequate force of steam-vessels to keep all clear of the coasts of the United Kingdom, not merely in the two channels and in the North Sea, but for 600 or 800 miles into the Ocean ; for it we ne2leet that salutary precaution, our trade will inevit a bly b e cut t o piece's within the first three months f war. The use of steam-ships, as appendages to naval squadrons all over the world, is too apparent to call for any ob. servation. Iluxs..eoThe people have almost exceeded our hopes. They have far outstripped our utmost efforts to keep pace with their still-increasing ardour in the cause of reform, as far as these atter.) might hate at presenting to our readers even a faint outline of what is taking place every hour of each succeeding day, at meetings held throughout eveyy county of England, and attended by numbers, wealth, intelligence, high reputation, and consequent moral power, such as never before were seen, or imagined, in connexion with any pont tc::1 question, at the most animated period of English History. One or two croaking ravens yet flap their wings amongst us; but their notes antidpatc the fast-coming downiallof that edifice where filthy vermin, noxious reptiles, ill•uatened birds, and ravening wolves, have had for centuries unhallowed shelter.

Truss.—ln perfect good-will we beg to caution a certain guished lady not to suffer herself to be made a laughing-stock to dan dies and intriguers. Her personal attraction and accomplishmt:tts must always ensure her as much admiration as an Erglish lady aught to covet. Why aim at more ? Besides, she has not reached the pro. per age for political partisanship. Under the old regime, t o Fiend' lady joined the ranks of the philosopher and atheists till she lost her yowls and beauty; so no English lady should be a politician till she Is on the ultra side of fifty. The lady to whom we allude has, from mis. taken ambition, long allowed herself to be a tool in the hands of persons whom, in her vanity, she imagines she directs. She has late sly joined the banners of a military statesman, who, while he flatters ter with a show of deference, exacts from her a most professional suhmis. sion to discipline. Under his directions this misguided lady h s lately been denouncing the Reform Bill with all her sex's seal, anti with a vehement: qui:e her own. Het sincerity had made her overstep those limits of angry opposition which her prudential chief considered decor ous. A hint was given to that effect, and the other night, at a Royal fete, the lady, with great naivete, at once disclosed the secret, and tx hibited her own humble subserviency to her chief. Her ladyshiii went about, eagerly addressing her friends in something like the fo lasing strain :—•• How do I look ? I was told to pot a pod face an rite matter to-night. lam doing so. Do I not look very cheerful P This speech, uttered and repeated with tones, and looks, anti gestures, worthy or the tragic muse, was too much to bear. Gentlemen eough:d_ ladies shook their fans to hide their emotion—till at last all restraint gave way, the joke went round, and Unextinguished laughter shook the place." POST—If some one who had buried himself in solitude and seclu eion at the commencement of the present century were now to come forth again into the world, and read the abusive assertions put forward instead of argument by the advocates of the Reform Bill, he would be tempted to exclaim, t• How wretched must have been the career of my country ender such a legislature as this ! How incessatst must have been the struggles of the people to free themselves from& systevt f aught sub such evil and misfortune!" But when he had read the I. stiey of the tine which had elapsed—when he had examined the sea e of th e numbers and wealth and education of the wire, c...mpared w.tb s hat he hail known it before—would he not be struck with amazement a. the efliontery or those who dare to heap such slander open a system under which has grown up the results that lie cometnplattil ? 1► hat tiler, it will again be asked, is the motive for all this ? We do rot hest me to say that it is the effort of a desperate democratical Letton (taktt.e ad vantage of a weak Government which has been drie.r. to scek the r aid) to overturn the Constitution. HERALD.—The state. of political feeling throughout Furop: ;:t lint without its importance is determining the eaped:ency of iiitreduj: g a peat measure of change in our repr.sentative sys:em at the pie', nt time.

If the late expulsion of Charles X. fr• ne the throne of Fiance—caused as it was by his violation of the most sser•d obligations that can bind nun individually, or societies ttlge:her —has shaken the political inviolatility of mon - treks, we do not to rider that the cliauge made in the reigning dynasty has exhibited any indisposition in the people of France to a moilarchiesl fo n. of government; on the contraty, se believe that, however parties in that country mar differ as to the d stribution of power amrsng the orders of the State, they ail, with the exception of the small re. publican faciion, aid bald of the military anarenists, sincerely rrefer a King to a Republican Presh4m, or Otrtctory. Such alsu has been the declared wish of that declaiming, absurd vestry, the Bel. gian emigre,.
