FOR THE STAR. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE EXCLUSIV E PARIS, SATURDAY.--The Chamber is dissolv ed. The electors will assemble, and make them selves their future destinies. If they name a ma jority of the Gauche, they will immediately have the republic, and its two inevitable consequences, invasion and anarchy. If they name a majority of the droite, they will re-enter into monarchical prin ciples. If they name a majority of the centres, they will preserve that struggle which keeps society in suspense, and which must finish by the triumph of the Gauche. Thus there are two entrances for evil, and only one entrance for good ; and that the republicans would wish to close behind use. These three elements well known, their combinations will not be difficult to describe. At any time that two of these elements unite against one, they will bo masters. It is thus that we saw the centres wined to the droite, make the restoration, and the centres united to the gauche, make the revolution. Now again, if the centres unite to the gauche, we shall have the republic, and if they unite to the Mac, we shall have the monarchy. It may be remarked that neither the droite nor the gauche can displace any thing themselves, and that the men of the gauche, or the men of the droite, unless they unite to the centres, have isolated existences which loses itself in a neutral power, struck with sterility, like all that which is neuter in nature.— The centres by themselves can do nothing. It is im la4sible for them to constitute themselves in inde pendence from the one or the other party, theyare under the necessity of choosing the productive principle which they believe necessary to their sal vation, the principle of droite or the principle of the gauche, for there are but these two principles, and out of them there is neither strength nor power.— Gazette de France. ITALY. According to letters from Italy, which have reached us this day, it was on the 31st of May that the evacuation of Ancona was to take place, and that of Bologna is announced for the 15th of June ; if, in fact, that can be called an evacuation, which i; merely a displacing of troops. From Ferrara to Ancona it is scarcely five days march, and the Aus trians, in quitting that last position, do not renounce the occupying it again if they should judge neces sary. The same letters state that the efforts of M. de Saint-Aulaire, and the other Ambassadors, as sembled at Rome, to obtain from the papal govern ment, under the form of a protocol, the promise of giving to its subjects institutions, and principally municipal laws, has not had any result. Although protesting his moderation, the Pope has refused to contract any engagement of this kind. He re mains absolute master as before, and will not con sent to the least sacrifice of former abuses.—Le Nutiunal. POLAND. Tho Polish Generalissimo, Skrzynecki, has just executed a new conception a ith great skill, of which the result has been to cut off the right wing of the Russian army, and to throw the Imperial Guards which composed it beyond the Bug and the Narew. Having left a corps of the army upon the road from Siedlec to Praga, to observe Marshal Diebitsch, who has remained stationary for twenty says, Skrzynecki commenced operations upon the corps of General Sacken, Commander-in-chief of the Russian right wing, which occupied the line front Narew, having for points of support Ostro lenka and Lomza. Ostrolenka was fortified with care, having besides the bead of the bridge armed with batteries. This city, vigorously attacked by the banks at once, and which was not less vigorously defended, was ultimately carried, and the Imperial Guard of Russia retreated upon Lom za. The plan of the Polish General was that of occupying this point before the enemy, and of thus cuffing off the retreat. But obstacles and delays in the march of the troops prevented the perfect accomplishment of a manoeuvre very wisely con certed. Notwithstanding, the Russians lost 3,000 prisoners in their retreat. The consequences of this event are as follows : the Russian right wing being spread upon the route of Grodno and Au- zustowo, and the Poles occupying Tykozin and Bialystok, Marshal Diebitsch has his flank uncovered on the side of Soholow and Wer, tilience the Poles could now come to attack him at Seidlec, by the weak side of his posi tion. He has no longer a right wing, or at least that wing is now too far removed from him and too embarrassed for Marshal Diebitsch to reckon upon it in case he should be attacked in his turn. The event of Ostrolenka has besides brought the Polish army nearer to the Lithuanian insurrection. It is even possible that Skrzynecki may proceed into Cretin°, upon the route of Wilna, with thirty or forty thousand men, a force sufficiently imposing fo r him not to fear the fate experienced by Dwer- Licki in Volliynia. If the Generalissimo executes this great flank movement, Diebitsch will be obliged to evacuate Seidlec, without even the Power of fighting. We expect with confidence ex traordinary things on the part of the Polish General, "hose conduct is according to the school of Napo- ' leon in his admirable campaign of 1814, in France, dividing his small army, in order to bear first upon One point, then upon another, to beat in detail an Enemy so superior to him in numbers. Like Napo leon, Skrzynecki may then bear upon the rear of the grand army of the enemy, leaving the capital exposed, and a movement of Diebitsch upon Warsaw would not have the same result as that of the allies upon Paris in 1814, for in Poland there is an unani mity of national opinion. Moreover, Diebitsch is not in a state to march upon Warsaw even without defenders: the insurrection of Volhynia, of Podo lia, of Lithuania and the Ukraine, keep him en chained to the same place. For a month past he las experienced the greatest difficulties in order to 50 , 6i,..t his troops and renew his stores ; every one ' Ilds convoys has need of an escort of eight or '•a thousand men. He would already have re-en ,7,d into the ancient frontiers of the empire, but :-r the imperative orders of the Court of Peters -b, whose pride still clings to the non-evacua iai of Poland, and which exposes itself by this l'itle to lose all.— Messager des Chambres. kV idist the Poles execute movements which may laing about immense results, Malaita Diebitsch i , mains immoveable in his intrenched camp of • oi dec. It may be owing to the morale of the con 'ilicror of the Balkan having received such furious (I,reks, which he has never ceased to expe r i e nc e 'lme the opening of the campaign, or that Lis army, wasted by typhus or the cholera timbus, are absolutely out of a state of action. the centre and the right of the Poles have not mired. General Unainski is in front of the tete du pont of Praga with 12,000 men, easy to act by his right with the corps of 15,000 men, placed at Kosienice, under the orders of Pac.— General Sierawaky reorganizes his division at Pu lawy ; and Chrzanowsky defends the line from Wieprz with five or six thousand men, supported by the garrison of Zamosk. The Polish army reckons at present 80,000 men under arms, and will be augmented by eight new regiments, of which the Diet has decreed the organization.—Journal du Commerce. GERMAN PAPERS RECEIVED THIS DAY. Waasaw, 26th May.—General Skrzyneek's detailed re port of his operations from 12th to 23d of hay, describes more circumstantially all the transactions in chief, particu lars of which have already been published. The latter part of this report, relating to our later operations, of which little has transpired, is in the following terms : " On the 2lst at day-break we continued our pursuit of the enemy towards Tykocin. I sent the division of General Gielgud with the cavalry of General Skanzynski to advance to the road between Tykocin and Bialystock, and there to cut off the ;columns retreating to Lithuania, while I myself advanced in the mean time on the road to Tykocin. But the enemy had already retreated beyond the frontiers of the present kingdom of Poland; only his rear-guard was on the left bank of the Narcw. About 4 P. M. the head of our column reached Tokocyn. I ordered Colonel Langermann immediately to attack the town, and the bridge leading to the right bank of the Narew. This river divides, at Tykocin, into two arms; a long dam, intersected by nine bridges, leads to the opposite side, and forms one of the most difficult passages that is to be met with. Colonel Langermann led the attack, at the head of 300 men of the Ist regiment of Yagers, supported by a battalion of the 2d regiment, with great bravery ; and his horse having been killed under him, and his uniform being twice shot through, he was the first to rush upon the bridge sword in hand. The enemy, who defended it obstinately, had not time to shut the gates, so impetuous was our attack. Though the bridge was partly damaged, and it was necessary to ad. vance on single beams, our soldiers got possession of it at once, constantly led by Col. Langermann and the officers, who encouraged them by their example. The enemy was driven farther back on the dam ; the three principal bridges which he defended with the same obstinacy were succes sively taken, and the whole difficult passage so speedily executed by the valour of our troops, that the enemy could not complete the destruction of tile bridges which he had commenced. With the aid of the artillery and Yagers he defended the last bridge till the evening, but in the night lie was compelled to leave this position also, and thus the contest ended on Lithuanian ground. The troops that defended Tykocin were of the corps of the Grand Duke Michael, and consisted of two Yager Regiments of the Guard, a division of Finland Yagers, three Regiments of Cavalry, and a brigade of artillery. Our loss is twenty-two killed, and seventy wounded. The army particularly laments the loss of Lieutenant Kruczewski. who fell while fighting with great valour. 11 - trile I was advancing to Tykocin, General Skanzynski, according to his orders, rapidly approached the town of Choroszcz, but the enemy had already sought protection beyond the Narew, and his regiment of mini:Mere, which covered the retreat, on perceiving the second regiment of Ilulans forming our van guard, avoided coming to an ac tion, and galloped over the bridge. Two cannon of the battery of Major Bslim defended the bridge from being burnt till the evening, overpowering the fire of more than ten guns on the opposite bank ; but at night the enemy advanced to the bridge, and set it on fire. While this was passing in the main army, General Lubienski, in his position at Nur, constantly observed the main army of Field Marshal Dicbitsch, posted in the vicinity of Siedlec, who, in consequence of our movement, was obliged to retire to the Bug, and passed that river at Granna on 21st May. General Lubienski sent detachments in different directions to cut off the enemy's communication, and got possession of the magazines at Brausk and Ciechanowicc, in which last place he took prisoners above 200 men of different armies, including a staff officer and six subalterns. Thus, the national army, by 10 days offensive operations, and with a force very inferior to that of the enemy, drove the Russian guards beyond the frontiers of the kingdom, which they had burdened, as long as there was no appre hension of danger, took in different places 600 prisoners, among whom is Colonel Schamout, aide-de-camp to the Grand Duke Michael, and many officers of rank, besides about 800 sick and consalescent, at Loma. In many places the country people took and brought in soldiers with their arms and horse*. Besides this, a great many magazines which the enemy had formed in the rear of the army, a quantity of baggage, &c. fell into our hands. But our most important acquisition is the fortifications about Lomas', which the enemy had executed with great la bour, and has abandoned without, firing a shot, and which will now serve to defend us against him. It was only by the astonishing rapidity of their retreat., that the Guards could escape a defeat; but it must besteknow ledged that their infantry fought bravely with us in some of the skirmishes. By this movement the national army has freed some districts, obliged the Field-marshal to retreat with his main army across the Bug; and lastly, having en. tered the territory which has been so long incorporated with Russia, it has opened a communication with our brethren, whose insurrection continues to spread, and made it possible to afford them assistance. The joy with which we were re ceived by the population is beyond description. Not only within the boundaries of the present kingdom, but also in Lithuania, the citizens and peasantry, have clearly ex pressed their interest in the common country, and their wishes for our success." Here follow the names of the officers and soldiers who have distinguished themselves. The village of Modzell, from which the report of the Ge neralissimo is dated, lies on the road between Sniadow at.d Tykocin, nearer to the former place. FRONTIERS or POLAND, 26 May.—it IS reported that the Russian Guards have returned over the Narew, and that the Polish commander-in-chief has been thereby induced to remove his head-quarter back to Lomas.

BOIS LE Dec, MAY 31.—Letters from the Prussian frontiers of May 29, contain the following particulars : " Persons lately arrived from Belgium at Aix-la-Chapelle affirm that the tumultuous disturbances in the garrisons of Liege and Namur, were caused by Belgian demagogues, ad herents of France. Their object is said to have been to in troduce a republican form of government at tee same time in Liege and Namur, and then under the command of 51elli net, suddenly to attack Alaestrecht, and, in case of need, the Prussians on the frontiers. If affairs in Belgium do not soon take another turn, and if the hlaese is not opened, Liege is threatened with a great danger. In the coal mines there is now an immense stock for which no vent can be found. Thee proprietors are at a loss how to keep the men to work ; and tinge people, who are by no means the least uncivilized clam; of Belgians, threaten that if they are no longer paid, to set the whole on flre. Couriers have passed through here today on their way from London to Vienna, Berlin, and Petersburgh. The news brought by Lord Ponsonby from London is said to be very disagreeable to the Belgian traders. HAGUI, MAY 31.—The report of the central section on the proposed changes in the tariff; was brought before the second chamber to-day. The Government sent a modified project for the ordinary expenses of the kingdom for 1831, viz.— Ordinary expenses Extraordinary .. 48,600,000 Total 870350,000 Jona 2.—ln the sitting of the 24 Lbamber, the project of law for a forced loan was withdrawn, and another project introduced for a voluntary loan ; and, in case that should fail, a forced one. The debate on the proposed modifications of the tariff of import and export, and transit duties, commenced,but was not concluded. SPIRIT OF THE JOURNALS. TIMES--Though the Belgians have now elected th e i r King, they have not yet decided on the limits of his domi. nions. They have, in fact, left the arrangement of the boun daries, and the distribution of the debt, open to future dii. cussion ; and we have more than once mentioned that Prince Leopold cannot accept of the crown till these points are settled. It would, indeed, indicate an imprudence little short of insanity to place himself in a situation where he must encounter dangers and difficulties without a chance of overcoming them, where,if he agrees to any concession to Hol. land for the sake f peace he will be resisted by his new subjects, and where, if he does not, he will be attacked by the united forces of the Germanic Confederation, and abandoned by the other Powers of Europe. As the present Goverment is, however, authorized to attempt the arrangement of the Lux emburg question by treaty, the negotiations may have ar rived at such a point before His Royal Highness will be obliged to gives definitive answer, that he may be enabled to accept of the crown with the certainty of pleasing all par. ties. Though the deputation when in London will have no mission to settle the limits of their country, and though the Prince will not acquire the power of acting in the name of the Belgic people till ne has sworn to the constitution, their presence here, represent ing as they do the Congress, combined with the influence of his exertions as presumptive sovereign, may go far to facilitate an amicable adjustment of the points in dis. pute between the conferences and the new state. If the question of Luxemburg were settled, as it may easily be, the possession of blaestricht is the only other point on which any real difficulties will occur, as the Belgians themselves seem not to be very confident in their right to the left bank of the Scheldt, which, unlike Luxemburg and Limburg, has never joined the insurrection. It will be fortunate for Belgium if Prince Leopold should yield to the invitation of the Congress on this critical occasion. HERALD.—We have seldom had to record, among din ner speeches, any thing half so much to the purpose, or more creditable to the speaker, than the few words in which Sir Chapman Marshall, one of the Sheriffs of London, returned thanks on his health being drunk at the late dinner of the patrons and governors of the different charity schools of the me. tropolis. The Sheriff's words were few, and worth repeating: On the health of the Sheriffs being proposed, Sir Chapman Marshall addressed the company in these terms, amidst loud and reiterated acclamations—" My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen, I want words to express the emotions of my heart. You now see before you a humble individual who' has been educated in a parochial school. I came to London in 1803 without a shilling, without a friend. I have not had the advantage of a classical education, therefore you will excuse my defects of language— (cheers.) But this I will say, my Lord Mayor and Gentlemen, that you witness in me what may be done by the earnest application of honest indus. try ; and I trust that my example may induce others to I aspire, by the same means, to the distinguished situation which I have now the honour to fill."—(Repeated plaudits.) To call this eloquence would probably offend some of our high-flown, frothy, figurative orators. We will, therefore, content ourselves with designating it as the language of good sense ; and especially as bringing forcibly back to mind that national characteristic of this country, by which men in for. mer times used oftener than they have of late years, to rise by means of honest industry from the lowest to the highest stations. We rejoice to see, that in this age of mischievous speculation, when commerce and gaming have become too nearly allied, there are still instances of the way in which our merchants of old rose from obscurity to rank, and from poverty to opulence. And we rejoice the more at such in stances when we see them, as in the case before us, unac companied by that false pride which too often leads men who have been fortunate in life, to forget both the origin and the means from which their success has sprung. POST.—Mr. O'Connel has directed his peculiar or rather his exclusive attention to the Irish Bill, or he would not have failed to perceive that many of the same iniquities and absurdities of which he complains, ate also to be found in the Reform Bills for England and Scotland. lf, for in. stance, a ten-pound rent in Ireland and a ten-pound rent in England are two very different things, are they not also ' very different things in Devonshire and in Middlesex ? If Waterford and Limerick, and Galway are to have an addi tional Member each from regard to the influence of Sir J. Newport, Mr. Spring Rice, and " the Remembrancer," is it forgotten that similar things are to be done in England; Arc the President of his Council and his Grace of Bedford to be blotted from our memory ? Will not the Honour. able and Learned Member for Kerry be consoled when he recollects that disfranchisement is to be effected in England to the extent of 168 Members of the House of Commons, the places selected for disfranchisement having heretofore returned 34 Whip, and 34 also, but with the addition of an even hundred, of Tory Mem. hers? The demands of Mr. O'Connell on behalf of Ireland —demands which it is easy to foresee, will prove ex ceedingly troublesome, may serve as a lesson to his Majesty. Ministers, of the danger of laying down principles which it is either unfit or disagreeable, or impracticable to pursue to their legitimate results. The claim preferred by this Gentleman of 230 Members for Ireland in the reformed House of Com mons, may be viewed in reference to the whole Reform nits. I sure f Government a a reduetio ad absurdum. If the prin., ciple of that measure be just and wise, it follows of strict necessity that the claim of 250 members for Ireland Is per. fectly consistent with - justice and wisdom. In England and Scotland the scale of population is every thing It deter mines the boroughs from which the right of sending Members to Parliament shall be taken away—it determines the towns to which the right of sending Members to Perlis. ment shall be given—it determines the counties that are to have additional representatives—it gives sixteen Blernbers to London, and three to Edinburgh. Why, in the name of common justice and common sense, is this principle of po pulation, which, if it be good for any thing, must be of uni -1 versal application, abandoned by our consistent Reformer. the moment they cross St. George's Channel ? HERA LD.—Onr paper of Friday last contained a letter from a Governor of the Fever Hospital, which is entitled to more than ordinary attention. In that letter the writer states that " the London Fever Hospital can at present accommo , date only 62 patients;' and that, though it gives admit tame during the year to between 500 and 600 cases, they bear no proportion to the claims which it is obliged to reject ; and that of objects, be it remembered, who or the most part carry about them disease mortal to themselves, if unattended to, and spreading contagion among others. This gentleman after. ' wards goes on to s.y (what we deem most important) that " the expense necessary to enable the present hospital to , accommodate 3110 persons (five times as many as it does at present) would be extremely trifling." Surely this is a subject which demands immediate attention, and only re , quires to be taken up lit a few right-minded influential indi , viduals,with a zeal equal to its importance,to ensure its speedy 1 execution. But while we urge the exercise of private bene volence to rescue a metropolis like this from so serious a • danger as that - of having no adequate receptacle for fever, we ! must be permitted to ask whether there are nut funds already in existence more than adequate, Weaned forth, to meet this, and a much larger, &mend ? We allude to the splendid estates and incomes of the City Hospitals, the value and amount of which arc, we believe, but little known. We have heard (though we do not vouch for the fact) that there is one of the City Hospitals alone which could bear a diminution of its income to the extent of 10,0001. per ann. and still be as full and as useful as it is ; and there is, as we all know, another to which an enormous property was lately left, which there has been found some difficulty in deciding in what way to make the best use of. Now, whether such be or be not the cam, where would be the halm of the Gover nors of the City Hospitals laying their heads together, and seeing whether they have it not in their power to supply the defect so feelingly and strongly pointed nut by our Corres pondent ? The object of such persons ought to be, and we have no doubt is, to do the greatest possible good with the means intrusted to their management. But managers of hospitals should never take the anodynes prescribed for their patients ; fur though skip may be the best possible auxiliary of me.licine in most cases of disease, it would be well if the persons we allude to were to keep themselves a title mom awake than they appear to do. COBBETT, in his last Register but one, has ex posed, with the happiest sarcasm, the follies of the surplus population gentry in a pleasant little drama. The heroes are a Squire Thimble, one of the Ben tham school, " a tailor and a swarthy complexioned man," and Sir Gripe Grindum, who professes to be one of the same school, as a mere cloak to his over reaching avarice, and his lust. Who Sir Gripe typifies does not so clearly appear ; but he is de scribed as a Baronet who keeps no table, entertains no one, and, having forty thousand a-year in land, expects a coronet. It may be an imaginary pic ture, but it is wrought up with great dramatic ef fect. ALARMING RIOTS IN WALES. SIXTY-TWO PERSONS KILLED AND WOUNDED. :max TAILIVII JOURNAL OFIFICE • Saturday Afternoon, Five o'Clock. The most alarming accounts have just reached this city, of a riot at Merthyr Tidvil, accompanied with serious loss of life. From what we can col lect from the Coachman, Guard, and passengers of the Welsh mail, we deeply regret to announce that the state of disorganization at Merthyr at this mo ment threatens the most appalling consequences. A large body of workmen out of employ, having proceeded to acts of outrage, a party of the 93d regiment of Highlanders were sent for, and arrived from Brecon by a forced march. This show of re sistance only rendered the mob more desperate ; they attacked the military, who were compelled in self-defence to fire on them, and it is said that twelve of the populace were killed, and forty-seven desperately wounded. Of the soldiery two were killed, and the Major dangerously wounded. When the Mail passed through Merthyr this morning, the mob had seized several pieces of can non, with which they kept the military in check, who were too small a body (only about 150) to make an effectual resistance. The Marquis of Bute, the Lord Lieutenant of the county, was on the spot, and has sent off dis patches to Government by the Mail, which arc to be immediately forwarded from this city. The Merthyr mail was detained there an hour, in order to receive the dispatches for the Secretary of State, It seems that the rioters provided themselves with the cannon from a foundry in the neighbour hood. The number of rioters is said to amount to nine thousand ; and while the mail-coach was on its road large bodies of men, with flags and banners, were seen on the hills, coming from Tre degar and other parts to join the rioters. Two of the ringleaders, who had been taken into custody, were examined this mornir ° r before the Magistrates at Cardiff; and so far from endea vouring to exculpate themselves, they boldly as serted that the insurrection would not be con fined to Vales, but that arrangements had been made for a simultaneous rising in other manu facturing and mining districts of the kingdom. A very few days will serve to prove the truth or false hood of this assertion. If it should be corroborated by the threatened events, the country will be placed in a most alarming situation ; but we hope and trust that the object of these men was merely to intimi date the magistrates from the execution of their duty. The baneful operation of the Truck System is stated to be the ostensible cause of the riotous proceedings. We write without arranging circumstances ; nor can we vouch for the correctness of all the particu lars we have stated. Happy indeed shall we be to find that the reports are exaggerated ; but that a most alarming and sanguinary conflict has taken place is beyond a doubt. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. CAMBRIAN OFFICE, Nine o'Clock Saturday Evening, June 4. RIOTSAT MERTHYR—FOURTEEN LIVES LOST. We have to notice the riotous attack of the work ing population of Merthyr-Tydfil, on the premises of the Chief Officer of the Court of Requests at that place. We regret to add that FOURTEEN LIVES HAVE SINCE BEEN LOST IN THE RIOTOUS PRO CEEDINGS! The following extracts from private letters afford the only positive information we can vouch for : " FRIDAY, JUNE 3. " About eight o'clock last night, the mob at tacked Mr. Coffin's house (the Court of Requests), and after demanding the books, they commenced their depredations, broke the windows and de stroyed every article in the house, except in one room, and attempted to set it on fire—but the wind being in an unfavourable direction, they failed to do so. About 70 men of the 93d Regiment arrived at the Castle Inn, from Brecon, at eleven o'clock this morning, where there were some thousands of men assembled, to parley, as they said, with Mr. Guest, Mr. Crawshay, and others, respecting an increase of wages, but evidently for the sake of mischief alone. After being exhorted for sonic time by Mr. Guest to disperse peaceably, end get ting more riotous, the soldiers were ordered to 6re, and shocking to say, fourteen persons were killed! The men fought desperately for about ten minutes, and then fled. " There we some hundred soldiers arrived here ince the affray, and I think you may now rest easy as to any more mischief being done to night, and I hope the worst is over. Indeed, the mob from the first appeared to have had no animosity against the trade ; their sole object seemed to be an in crease of wages and todestroy the Court of Request 4. A note, dated this merning (Saturday) says " Nothing has occurred since last night, and I think we need be under no apprehension of a fresh attack on the military. I had only left the crowd a few minutes yesterday before the soldiers fired, and I find that not more than eleven men and the (le women have been killed." Two detachments of the Swansea Cavalry left here this rooming for Merthyr ; and by expross we learn, that the first was met on llirwain Com mon by a body of the rioters, and was completely surrounded and disarmed ; but no contest took place betwclton them. A further supply of arms and ammunition has been forwarded to the cavalry, but we trust all occasion for the supply has ere this subsided. We understand that before the Gring commenced, the mob rescued from the detachment of the 93d thirty stand of arms, and thrt the Major and se veral of the men were severely wounded. That excellent Sunday !met, the United King dom, of yetterday, mentions a fact to which it would be unbecoming iu us to have alluded, viz.— that Tit r. STA It is a paper which has always been partially favoured in the Royal Pumily ; and also alludes to a circumstance which we consider a pe culiar compliment, that it is honoured by the coun tenance of the most popular Monarch that ever sate on the British Throne. If such is the cane,l our readers will perceive that we have arrived at this distinction, by none of that obsequiousnr•ss which is the general passport to Court favour ; and therefore that truth is not shunned at the modern British Court, whatever may, in past ages, have been the practice. Without indelicacy we may venture, however, to assert, that no London paper moves in higher circles, at home and abroad, owing partly to long establishment, and partly to sobriety of character and priority of intelligence, COURT CIRCULiR. Yesterday was the birth-day of the Duke of Cumberland, when his Re3al Highness attaintd his 80th year His Royal Highness received the congratulations of the I....mbers of the Royal Family, why, came to Kew kap their respective residences to felicitate the R iyal Duke on the happy event.

Edward Irving, Of prophetic and oratorical celebrity, was last week brought under the con. sideration of the General Assembly of Scotland for final adju dication. The work had previously been referred to a Coin. mittee ; and on Monday Dr. Dickinson reported from the ommittethat the work contained doctrines the same as the Bourignan heresy, condemned in 1601. A discussion ensued on the report. All the members condemred the doctrines, hut there was a considerable difference of opinion respecting the mode of condemnation. Dr. Forbes mild not approve of following the Author by extending their jurisdiction into a country where a sister church' was established. He moved a resolution, the object of which was to prevent Mr. Irving being permitted to preach in any church, in Scotlsnd. Dr. P.lllacfar lane thought Mr. Irving's writings were far hker the ravings of a maniac than a man of sound sense. Dr. Cook had no doubt but the people of Scotland would see the glaring absurdity of the doctrines. Dr. Hamilton said Mr. I. had an immerse ma nufsctory in London, from which he deluged the Church with nonsense. Mr. Paul felt that the passages read must be con. sidcred as the ravings of a maniac ; but within the bounds ' of the Church there were congregalows who would be willing to listen to those ravings, and they ought to endeavour to prevent it. Mr. Geddes said, if minister, who went beyond the bounds of the Church were to be *Rowed to insult anti bla pheme the Saviour, he would never ordain anotlivr mi nister to go beyond the bounds of Scotland. The Dcan of Faculty was against noticing the work in the mann e r p ro posed, which, if left to itself, would sittk into insignificance and contempt. Dr. Forbes motion was carried by 147 to 40, the effect of which is to exclude Mr. Irving from pre aehitg in all Churches in Scotland. SUSPECTED MURDER of a YOUNG FE. I.ILE. For the last week the village of Sydenham and its neigh bourhord has been kept in a state of great exciternant, arising from the mysterious death of a young pr..gnant female, whose body was found in the Croydon Cant!. near Sydenham, on Sun lay morning.
